Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Bibliography of Oliver Wendell Holmes "Des communications et des rencontres, voilà ce qui arrive a tout lexicographe en quete de materiaux," wrote Littre by way of introduction to the third supplement to his great dictionary. With the substitution of a word the observation will apply with equal force to one in quest of material for the bibliography of an author so prolific as Dr. Holmes in "occasional" prose as well as verse. The compiler of this volume early abandoned all hope of achieving completeness, even before he was warned by one who knew whereof he spoke that he had undertaken a "supernatural" task. He has finally become convinced that, no matter how long the book may be withheld from the press, there will be no end to the "communications and discoveries ;" the Appendix contains those which have come to hand since the pages were made up, and which it was impossible to incorporate in the text. The general arrangement of the bibliography is substantially the same as that adopted by Mr. Cooke in his Bibliography of Lowell. I. A Chronological List of Titles, accompanied by page references. This list is extended to include the more important volumes in which some of Dr. Holmes´s works are printed in conjunction with the work of other writers. II. An Alphabetical List of Single Works. This list has been extended by the necessity of introducing a large number of cross-references. So many poems written for special occasions have never received any distinguishing titles, and are printed in the collections simply as "Songs," "Poems," or "Hymns," that it is not easy to find any particular one without the aid of a cross-reference.
