Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Herbert Bibliography: Being a Catalogue of a Collection of Books Relating to George Herbert This collection of books relating to George Herbert, whose name I bear and whose memory I would honor, comprises 141 titles and 158 volumes. It is the result of many years of search and is probably now unique in extent. Indeed the lists here given may be regarded as forming a complete Herbert Bibliography. All the books are first editions unless otherwise specified. For convenience of reference they are grouped under nine headings. In Group I are placed the biographies of Herbert, the exquisite one b Walton appearing in both its forms and in copies of much beauty and associations interest. Group II is made up of manuscripts, the important ones being a copy of the manuscript of all Herbert´s poems, at present in the Bodleian Library Oxford, and a copy of the less known but highly instructive manuscript of his early poems, from the Williams Library, London. During Herbert´s life only a few small pieces of his, all in Latin, went published, and no collection of his works was made for two hundred years after his death. But apart from "The Temple," his chief poetic work, writing of his, of more or less length and more or less authenticity, appear in fifteen volumes, which form Group III of this Collection. Group IV consists of a complete set of the fourteen editions of "The Temple," which appeared during the century after Herbert died. But I do not possess one of the three or four undated copies which were probably printed at the time of the first edition, in 1633. Modern editions of "The Temple" are placed together in Group V, but no attempt has been made to gather here every reprint of Herbert´s poem only those being collected which have some point of distinction; i. e., in date notes, introduction, or style of publication. The Collection, however, is not confined to a single one of the seven Herbert brothers, but represents all of them who wrote. The works of the eldes Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury, number nine, besides translations of two Latin pieces. All these will be found in the sixth Group, together with a anti-puritan poetical tract by Thomas Herbert, a stanza of Latin verse be Charles Herbert, and a preface, by Henry Herbert, to a volume of his brother Edward´s poems. I have been fortunate, too, in obtaining autographs of the brothers. That of Lord Herbert, inserted in the Strawberry Hill Edition of his Autobiography, is signed to a receipt for a pension granted him by Parliament in return for permission to destroy his ancestral Castle of Montgomery.
