Very scarce; most of the copies having been destroyed by fire.
It is to be regretted that when the author undertook this work
he had not made himself better acquainted with the duties of a
bibliographer--to say that it is carelessly done, is but mild
criticism. The critical notices are numerous, voluminous, and often
unnecessary.

The value, importance, and great rarity of a complete copy of
this work is well known. As it was twenty years in course of
publication, very few complete sets were ever made up, but it is
especially rare to find the two supplemental volumes. Sir M. Sykes'
copy sold for £84.

"It is impossible in a small space to give anything like an
adequate idea of the vast amount of curious information which
these volumes contain. The hundreds of literary celebrities who
are brought forward not merely by passing anecdotes but by highly
valuable memoirs and sketches, and the extensive bibliographical
and literary matter which they contain, render this one of the most
permanently interesting sets of books ever published." Vols. vii.
and viii. are additions by the author's son, J. B. Nichols.

No. 6,292 is the celebrated Valdarfer Boccaccio of 1471, the only
known copy, which was purchased by the Marquis of Blandford for
£2,260, the highest price ever paid for a single volume. Dibdin

his _Bibliographical Decameron_, III. 62-65. The Roxburghe Club was
one of the results of this famous sale.

To collectors of works, containing early or local proverbs, a study
as entertaining, as useful to the etymologist, this manual will be
found indispensable, as there are many works, particularly among
those early printed, which contain proverbs among other matter,
though not clearly stated in the title; it is, in fact, a very
extensive chronological list of proverbial works, and a collection
of proverbs in all languages. _See_ Petzholdt, p. 697.
