Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Carto-Bibliography: British and French, and in the Bibliography of Itineraries and Road-Books The papers here reprinted, after a more or less complete revision, have been thought worthy of rescue from the oblivion of the Transactions and other publications of various Societies and of private impressions. They represent considerable labour, spread over the past sixteen or seventeen years, in a domain of bibliographical study which has, in modern days, received but little attention. Indeed it will, it is believed, be found on examination that most of the matter incorporated in the present volume is both new in substance as a contribution to our systematic bibliographical knowledge and original in the form in which it is cast. Road-Books and Itineraries, although representing a not inconsiderable mass of printed and engraved books, published over a lengthy period of time, and containing much that is interesting in character and method, and some features of historical and geographical importance, seem never at any time to have received, as a bibliographical group, the slightest attention. Collections of County Maps in the British Isles are both rare, and, when attempted to be formed, have been for want of knowledge of their possibilities, usually very incomplete and ill arranged.
