Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Book-Collector: A General Survey of the Pursuit and of Those Who Have Engaged in It at Home and Abroad From the Earliest Period to the Present Time; With an Account of Public and Private Libraries and Anecdotes of Their Founders or Owners and Remarks on Bookbinding and O Several monographs by contemporary scholars on the inexhaustible theme of Book-Collecting have made their appearance during the last twenty years. All such undertakings have more or less their independent value and merit from the fact that each is apt to reflect and preserve the special experiences and predilections of the immediate author; and so it happens in the present case. A succession of Essays on the same subject is bound to traverse the same ground, yet no two of them, perhaps, work from the same seeing point, and there may be beyond the topic substantially little in common between them and the rest of the literature, which has steadily accumulated round this attractive and fruitful subject for bookman and artist. During a very long course of years I have had occasion to study hooks in all their branches, in almost all tongues, of almost all periods, personally and closely. No early English volumes, while I have been on the track, have, if I could help it, escaped my scrutiny; and I have not let them pass from my hands without noting every particular which seemed to me important and interesting in a historical, literary, biographical, and bibliographical respect.
