Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of Robert L. Stuart This library is the product of leisure intervals snatched from the busy occupations of mercantile life during a series of years, - from 1828 until 1872, when Mr. Stuart retired from business. From that time to the last month of the year 1882, when he died, he devoted himself to his favorite pursuit, of augmenting and enriching his library. Mr. Stuart´s love of letters prompted him to its formation; and he was aided in his labor of love by his friend Dr. J. G. Cogswell, whose rare bibliographical knowledge and critical acumen are sufficiently evinced in the planning, collecting and cataloguing of the Astor Library in its early years. Mr. Stuart also had the benefit of the services of Mr. R. H. Browne, as librarian, and to this gentleman´s ripe experience in bibliography, the Collection is in no small degree indebted for its choice acquisitions. This Catalogue, which represents over ten thousand volumes, is the index to the collection; to obtain any adequate estimate of its value, therefore, an appeal must be made to its pages. When to a cultivated and scholarly taste are applied the resources of fortune, it naturally follows that the result will be a choice assemblage of works of authority and renown. Mr. Stuart´s library is one of unusual interest and importance, alike as to its wide range and scope, and the intrinsic value and character of the books.
