CATALOGUE OF BOOKS PRINTED FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION

Compiled, annotated, and published by Bertram Dobell. London, 1906.

The 1,000 books cataloged in this index were owned by Dobell, most of which are scarce or rare and some of which are valuable. This bibliography is quite useful for the little-known or unknown works by both major and minor figures to which generally unknown contributions were made by Walter Savage Landon, Augustus Hare, Leigh Hunt, and others. It also makes a departure from the bare lists of names and titles comprising many bibliographies by adding a summary of the content and character of the books listed, with occasional passages quoted from the work and, often, Dobell's personal evaluation.

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF BIBLIOGRAPHY, To Which is Prefixed a Memoir on the Public Libraries of the Ant¡ents.

By Thomas Hartwell Horne. London, 1814.

For years this was the standard work in bibliography and now is a recognized classic.

Part II is "On Books"—their denominations, forms, and sizes; styles of bookbinding; preservation; difference between ancient and modern editions; rarity; prices; choice of books for a library; and their classification therein.

Part III deals with literary history, writing, works on printing, books, bibliographical systems, catalogs, etc. A 138-page appendix discusses and illustrates monograms and devices of ancient printers; lists works printed on paper of different colors; and some of the most eminent of the early printers, along with their principal editions.
