An examination of so much as Mr. Power had done on the -subject of bibliography, led me to the conclusion that he had not made -a personal examination of the books described, and that the eminent -individuals, whom he thanks as having rendered him valuable assistance, -must have had rather limited bibliographical resources; indeed, the -general result was so disappointing that I determined to endeavor an -improvement, and the result is the present list which is about four -times the extent of Mr. Power's, and includes all the titles quoted -by him, some of which we should have preferred to omit. Still it is -not a complete bibliography, for the most excellent reason that such a -work is beyond any one man's capacity; but it is hoped it will prove -useful to those librarians and general readers who desire information -concerning books about books. - -Those who seek further information on the subject may consult with -much advantage Petzholdt's _Bibliotheca Bibliographica_, which is -conspicuous for the faithful and painstaking care exhibited in its -compilation, and in which the titles are treated with that minute -attention to classification which is preëminently the characteristic of -the German mind, while our list is conspicuous for the absence of any -attempt at such a classification. - -I cannot close this brief notice without tendering my thanks to -Mr. Charles A. Cutter of the Boston Athenæum for his valuable aid. -When librarians in general can approach his standard of library -intelligence, there will cease to be that plentiful lack of knowledge -by which some of them are now distinguished. - - JOSEPH SABIN. - -NEW YORK, _February 28, 1877_. - - - - - BIBLIOGRAPHY. - - ABBOT (Ezra).

The copies on large paper, imp. 8vo, have titles-pages for - two volumes. - - "The _Bibliomania_ is written in dialogues or conversations, - the characters introduced are well-known book collectors of the - author's acquaintance. The great value of the work is in the notes, - which abound with anecdotes of books and book collectors, and an - account of the rarer articles in their collections, and the prices - at which they were sold, extracted from the sale catalogues. It - will be always consulted as an authority."--LOWNDES. - - "The _Bibliomania_ is evidently formed in the first instance on the - plan of honest Isaac Walton's _Complete Angler_; with conspicuous - marks of the author's being deeply versed in the _Battle of the - Books_, and a familiar acquaintance with old English literature, - and occasionally with the discussions of Yorick. Under the shape - of dramatic dialogue, the reader is equally entertained, and - instructed; the abstruser parts, with the historic details, being - thrown into the form of notes. It would now be useless to pass an - encomium on this work, as its merits are so fully established as - to have more than doubled the original price of a volume now with - difficulty to be obtained."--_Gent's.

P. Philes_, MDCCCLXVI - - Four hundred copies printed in imperial 8vo, one hundred and nine - in 4to, ten of which are on Holland paper. It was undertaken at - the suggestion of Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, of New York, and contains - the titles of over three hundred books. As a specimen of American - typography, it has probably never been surpassed. In regard to - its merits it has received at the hands of some members of the - Geographical Society of Paris very high praise, of which an - English version (in part) will be found in Stevens' _Bibliotheca - Historica_, followed by some rather severe criticism on the work - by Mr. Stevens, who, writing in the third person, quotes largely - from an article in the _Athenæum_ of the 6th of October, 1866, of - which Mr. Stevens is the author. The writer of this notice does - not presume to enter into a controversy with, or a criticism upon, - the works of either of these bibliographers, but he cannot help - regretting that a work so elaborate, learned, and useful to the - American bibliographer, as this _Bibliotheca Americana_ is, should - have been the vehicle of any exhibition of personal pique. We have - been assured on very good authority that the blunder of "Ander - Schiffahrt's" was really due to the proof-reader, and that the - Index, in which Schiffahrt (Ander) is made to appear once more in - _propria persona_, was not the work of Mr. Harrisse at all. Let it - suffice for us to remark that for the student of the earliest of - books relating to America, this book is indispensably necessary. We - may add that Mr. Harrisse has, in some instances, quoted works from - White Kennett's _Bibliothecæ Americanæ Primordia_, and made the - remark that he has found nothing in the works so quoted relating to - America. This has arisen from the fact that he has misapprehended - the nature of that work, which purposely introduces many books - which had no relation to America.

In the - matter of printing and paper this volume exceeds in beauty that of - its predecessor. Its contents cover the same ground; some titles - contained in the former work are further elaborated, and many are - entirely new. It will, perhaps, not be saying too much that many of - them are only remotely related to America, but the author's careful - researches and elaborate dissertations have combined to render the - volume a very desirable addition to an American bibliographical - collection. - - [HARRISSE.] A Brief Disquisition Concerning the Early History of - Printing in America.

"The great beauty of - many of the books produced by the Early Printers, both at regards - the remarkable and various character of their Types, and the - exquisitely designed Initials and Borderings with which their pages - are enriched, is scarcely known and appreciated beyond the narrow - circle of enthusiastic bibliographers who have made the first - works that issued from the printing press a subject of special - study; and it is to make them more widely known that the present - work has been projected. The greater part of the examples are now - published for the first time, and have never appeared in any other - bibliographical work. They comprise designs by Wohlgemuth, Durer, - Burgemair, Cranach, and others equally celebrated." - - HUNT (F. Knight).

By William Thomas Lowndes. 4 vols., 8vo, pp. xii, - 2002. _London: William Pickering._ MDCCCXXXIV. - - First published as a serial; Part 1. is dated 1828. Invaluable to - the collector or librarian. The type of this is larger than that of - the following edition: - - LOWNDES. [Same Title.] New Edition, Revised, Corrected and Enlarged, By - Henry G. Bohn. 6 vols., 8vo, pp. 2746. _London: Henry G. Bohn._ 1857-69. - - Issued in eleven parts, each of which contains some preliminary, - explanatory, or exculpatory notice by Mr. Bohn. It is much to - be regretted that the earlier part of the work does not include - the same ratio of additions as the later, and book-collectors, - in general, would have been pleased to pay a higher price for - a handsomer book. Mr. Bohn's name as editor did not appear on - the first title to Vol. 1. Power remarks "A good guide to Mr. - Bohn's various reprints and 'Libraries,' and the appendix is a - carefully-compiled list of the publications of the Book-printing - Clubs, the private presses, such as Strawberry Hill, Lee Priory, - &c., and the rare reprints of Collier, Halliwell, Maidment, - Turnbull, and others. _The Bibliographer's Manual_ is a work which, - for want of a better, no English book-lover can do without. The - first edition has the advantage of Mr. Bohn's, being printed in - more legible type." Later issues bear the name of _Bell & Daldy_ as - publishers. In 1869, two hundred and fifty copies were printed on - large paper, in 6 vols., cr. 8vo. The statement that one hundred - copies were printed on large paper, which appears on that number - of copies which were sent to America, is, to say the least, an - abbreviation of the truth. Mr. Bohn's eleven prefatory notices, - which to some extent explain the nature and extent of his labors, - have been omitted in the large paper copies, both editions being - in other respects exactly the same. There is no substitute for - _The Bibliographer's Manual_; undertaken originally to supply an - obvious desideratum felt by all readers and book-buyers, it forms - at once a key to the riches of English literature for the student, - and a guide in the formation of a library for the collector. In - its present enlarged form it comprises notices of upwards of one - hundred thousand distinct books published in Great Britain and - Ireland, but it is susceptible of much improvement. - - LOWNDES. The British Librarian, or Book Collector's Guide to the - formation of a Library, in all Branches of Literature, ...
