Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Catalogue of Mr. John a Rice´s Library: To Be Sold by Auction on Monday March 21st 1870 and Five Following Days by Bangs, Merwin Co In offering to the public this Catalogue of Mr. Rices Library, it is almost unnecessary to say anything further about the Books than to commend the Catalogue itself to the careful reading of our book-buying friends; but custom has made it almost imperative to submit some preliminary remarks, which in this case, however, will be mainly confined to an enumeration of the leading books, in the various departments of literature, in which the Library is especially strong. We might, in general terms, have characterized this as a "splendid," "superb" "magnificent" "recherche," and "unique" library, had we not felt that these terms have been latterly applied with so much freedom to collections of inferior merit. It will not, however, be too much to say that this Library includes as many rare and costly books as can be found in all the Catalogues of books sold by Auction in New York since the sale of the famous "Private Gentleman´s Library," in 1866. In common with many other book-buyers, Mr. Rice commenced the formation of his Library without any definite decision as to the class of books of which it should consist.
