Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Art of Bookbinding: With Some Account of the Books of the Ancients "A History Of The Art Of Bookbinding" is based upon a useful and now scarce little book entitled "An Inquiry into the Nature and Form of the Books of the Ancients," by John Hannett. At Mr. Hannett´s request I undertook to revise, rearrange, and rewrite his treatise, so that this history is practically a new one. To me it is a matter of deep regret that Mr. Hannett did not live to see the work completed. Following the example so well set by Mr. Hannett, as far as possible theories have been avoided, and in stating facts preference has been given to the actual words of the authors quoted, references being placed at the foot of the page. I desire to thank my numerous correspondents for the help they have generously given me. My thanks are especially due to E. Maunde Thompson, Esq., D.C.L., LL.D., to Richard Garnett, Esq., LL.D., to E. J. L. Scott, Esq., M.A., to Augustus Wollaston Franks, Esq., C.B., F.S.A., and to W. Y. Fletcher, Esq., F.S.A., for facilities given me for the examination of bindings in the British Museum; to W. B. Nicholson, Esq., M.A., for the same privilege at the Bodleian Library; to the Council of the Society of Antiquaries, for permission to copy the cover of the Winton Domesday Book; also to John Cotton, Esq., F.R.I.B.A., H. M. Cundall, Esq., F.S.A., to the Rev. George Jinks, to E. M. Borrajo, Esq., and to C. J. Wertheimer, Esq. To H. S. Richardson, Esq., and Cedric Chivers, Esq., I am indebted for the loan of two engravings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
