Every amount quoted in the following pages has been actually realised at public auction within the last few years for the book against which it is set, and where two or more prices are appended it must be understood that the book has realised those amounts at auction at different times within the period in question. The valuation of the topographical works mentioned in Chapter XVI. (post p. 317, et seq.) has, however, been based, by permission, partly on the catalogues of Mr. Henry Gray, topographical and antiquarian bookseller, of 47, Leicester Square. The principles upon which books derive their value and the probability of any particular work rising or falling in the market have been carefully considered elsewhere* and as these phases of an important subject are considered to be beset with many difficulties, the reader is referred to the book in question for any information he may require. It is a fact well known to most people that con¬ dition and binding frequently regulate the market value of a book almost as much as any other consideration, c , %“** oand and About the Bookstalls” (L. Upcott Gill, 170, 0vrRi)d| w VI PREFACE. and, in extreme cases, shillings become converted into pounds merely by reason of extra quality in these respects. As a rule, however, the price realised on one occasion for any given work does not vary to any great extent from that obtained on another for the same book, and by the simple process of striking an average, a fair auction value is usually obtained. The plan adopted, therefore, has been to search for this average or normal value by comparing the prices realised at a large number of first-class sales by auction. In most instances I have given particulars of binding and condition, so that the reader will be able to form a tolerably correct estimate of the value of some thousands of works in every department of English Literature. To take the average auction value is, I am persuaded, the only way in which it is possible to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion, since the alternative of comparing booksellers’ price-lists is open to the grave objection that the sums asked by the dealers differ enormously, and frequently depend on a variety of extraneous circumstances which it is impossible to ascertain or classify. In a popular manual, which is necessarily limited in its scope, the great difficulty has been not so much to value the catalogued works as to decide what to reject. As a survey of English Literature this book is of course imperfect, and were it extended to a hundred times its present dimensions it would be im¬ perfect still. All I have been able to do is to make a selection of representative works, and to classify them under the subjects to which they properly belong. The Library Manual will be found useful in the hands of those who are fond of books and take an interest in collecting them, for the priced lists which form the second portion of the volume fore¬ shadow, I think faithfully, that ideal collection which PREFACE. • • Yll would be made, in fact, by the Book-man wbo bad sufficient time and money at bis disposal to enable bim to carry out bis intention of forming a bigb-class, all¬ round English Library. Tbe whole of this work has been re-written and so considerably enlarged that about 10,000 different books and editions are now catalogued. Modern works in print have not, as a rule, been referred to.

The R ise and Fall in the Value of Boohs—Why one Book , though of the same Edition, is sometimes worth more than another {Bad Condition , “Cropping,” Imperfect and “ Made-up ” Books, Leaves in Facsimile, “ Laying down,” Worm-Holes, Foxed Elates, Reprints, Bound-up Barts). In order to estimate the value of books with any degree of correctness, considerable experience, combined with a thorough knowledge of the market, is required; and as none, except those whose business it is, can be expected to spend the large amount of time necessary to acquire the requisite information, it follows that the booksellers are the people who are chiefly competent to handle this difficult branch of bibliography. It is the booksellers who fix the price at which a book shall be sold, and they base their calculations primarily on the laws of supply and demand. B 2 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. When the public cease to care for the works of any particular author, or when they, sometimes a little capriciously, are disposed to look favoimably upon those of a hitherto unknown man, the market gradually changes in exact accordance with the spirit of the times. Hence, a bookseller’s catalogue of some twenty years ago bears but little resemblance, so far as quoted prices are con¬ cerned, to a similar catalogue of to-day. The market prices, which in process of time have fallen to their natural level, are retained in equilibrium simply by the fact that the dealers are not merely in the habit of buying from the public to sell to the public again at an increased price; they buy from one another, and if any particular dealer is too ignorant to make the most of his stock, it is a matter of certainty that others will transact his business for him, and, of course, to his loss; or, in other words, they will buy the books which he has undervalued, and reap the profit themselves. It thus happens that dealers are able, to a great extent, to keep the market firm, and at prices which do not vary so much as the casual purchaser is apt to suppose. The condition of a book may, of course, materially affect its value, and on this phase of the subject I shall have more to say later on. Assuming that the dealers regulate the prices of books, it must never be forgotten that the public are in reality masters of the situation, and that their tastes and in¬ clinations are accurately reflected in the booksellers’ cata¬ logues. Anyone who can truly read such a document, will be able to gauge very correctly the literary taste of the day, and, by a comparison with older catalogues, follow the waves of thought and opinion through all the changes which time has brought about. We have now two main propositions: First, that popular taste points out what books to buy and what to avoid; and, secondly, that the booksellers regulate their prices RISE AND FALL IN THE VALUE OF BOOKS. 3 according to the demand. How comes it then, it may be asked, that the public do not rule the market them¬ selves, and so save the bookseller’s profit? To which it may be answered that they would do so if they could, but that their want of cohesion and, in many cases, excessive anxiety on the part of individual collectors to buy at almost any price, precludes them from dominating at first hand. Knowledge must be bought, time must be expended, a sound judgment must be exercised in particular cases; and, as in every other business, people who smooth the path for others deserve to be recom¬ pensed. The booksellers certainly complain that the public have grown too wise nowadays, and that the same profits are not made as formerly; but this is an obvious mistake. The real fact seems to be not that the public are more conversant with technical details, but that the market has settled down, through mere lapse of time. The booksellers who succeed the best are those who sell the most books, no matter at what price, so long as a profit on the original outlay is insured. We do not mean by this that anyone should dispose of a book, or any other article, under such circum¬ stances as practically to amount to a gift of it; but there is a wide difference between selling at a fair price and trying to sell at an exorbitant one. Most amateurs at the commencement of their investi¬ gations are surprised to find a book realising, say, £1 one day at auction, and another copy of the very same work bringing five or six times that amount the next. Is it that the popular demand has varied in the same degree overnight ? Clearly not, for no such variation could legitimately occur in such a short space of time. The reason of the difference in price is chiefly based on some external superiority which one volume possesses over the other. This brings us to a branch of the subject which b 2 4 THE LIBRARY MANUAL is fortunately more easy to handle than mere abstract speculations upon the eccentricities of taste and fashion. Book collectors who pride themselves on their culture take especial care not to purchase any volume which is in bad condition. A book answering this description may be perfectly clean; in fact, paradoxical as it may seem, mere surface dirt does not always imply inferiority: it is the least of all the evils, for it can be got rid of. The greatest enemy of books is an ignorant or reckless binder, for he can, with a single movement of his shears, detract enormously from the value of any volume that comes to his hands. It is the rule and not the exception to find that, when a book returns from the binders, it has been cut or planed at the edges : sometimes only to a small extent, at others to the very head-lines. In either case the value is very materially reduced; sometimes, in bad cases, it sinks to zero, and what was a fair volume to gaze upon becomes a mere worthless wreck of its former self. Collectors, no matter of what articles, like the specimens in their possession to be the best of their kind, and above ail things unmutilated. An engraving with its margin cut away is not looked upon with the same regard as one that is entire. A coin, worn out of all recognition, is not of the same value as another specimen from the same die which has its inscription clear and defined; and a book denuded of its margin is a horrible object in the eyes of those who frequently measure proportions to the fraction of an inch. An “ uncut ” book is consequently one that has its edges rough, or is, at any rate, in the same state in which it originally left the binder’s hands—the word “ uncut ” not being synonymous with the expression “not cut open.” To cut the leaves of a book with a paper-knife does no harm so long as the operation is skilfully performed; to have it re-bound and the edges smoothed on each of its DEFECTIVE BOOKS. 5 three sides is a barbarous and fatal, though exceedingly common, practice. We should strongly advise the amateur never to have anything to do with an imperfect book. Suppose, for the sake of example, that he is offered an original edition of any one of Dickens’ numerous works, and on collation it is found to want one or more plates, or the title-page is missing. This, of course, reduces the selling price; but, unless the amateur has plenty of time on his hands, and is given to “ making up ” imperfect editions by supplying the omissions from another copy—itself possibly imperfect in other respects—it is mere waste of money to purchase; for, when the book comes to be resold, the chances are that the difficulties in the way will be very great, for persons who buy imperfect books expect to get them for next to nothing. It is far better to reject the book altogether, and to wait until a more favourable oppor¬ tunity arises. Books may not only be “cut down” and “imperfect,” but they may be “ made up,” or the plates may be “laid down,” or the book itself may be worm-eaten, torn, “ foxed,” or even a forgery. All these defects detract, of course, from the value, and the amateur will probably now begin to see why one copy may sell for £1 and another for more. It is merely the condition of the book that makes the difference. A “ made-up ” book is one which, though at one time imperfect, has been completed by the addition of leaves from another copy of the same edition. If this is well done, and the measurement of the added leaves is the same as that of the others, there is not usually much objection to the process, nor indeed would the defect be at all likely to be discovered; but if any of the pages are in fac-simile—and it must be remembered that there are book restorers who can copy with the pen in a way almost to defy detection—then in this case the value is very 6 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. materially reduced. An experienced workman of tlie name of Harris, who up to tlie time of liis death was employed by the librarian of the British Museum, was one of the best copyists who ever lived, and much of his work is so excellently performed that it is quite impossible in many cases to distinguish the fac-similed leaf from the body of the work. A book containing plates should be examined to see that none of the latter are “laid down” or rebacked; for if this is found to be the case, the value falls on the instant. In old works the “laying down” process is generally applied to the frontispiece, as that being most fingered is likely to fall to pieces the sooner. In extreme cases a “laid-down” plate would, if placed in a basin of warm water, turn out to be a thing of shreds and patches: so torn and mutilated in fact, as to require piecing together again after the manner of a child’s puzzle. For a “ worm-eaten ” book there is practically no cure, though the pulping process is occasionally employed, with indifferent success. Worm holes are caused by grubs, some of which bore through the leaves and bind¬ ing, while others confine their depredations to the “joints,” and consume the bookbinder’s paste. In hot countries mosquitoes also commit extensive ravages. The larvae of these formidable insects are not content with eating their way out of a volume and leaving a small circular hole in their wake, but they ruin entire leaves, frequently leaving nothing but a fragment, which falls to pieces at the touch. The best way to prevent the en¬ croachment of “book-worms” is to avoid beech wood, and to well sprinkle the library shelves with common snuff every few months. While this method is not infallible, it comes as near perfection as many of those complicated recipes which derive their efficacy probably as much from constant watchfulness and a cleanliness BINDING-UP PARTS. 7 which continual applications necessitate as from any intrinsic excellence of their own. Plates are said to be “foxed” when they are marked with more or less extensive patches of a reddish-brown colour. It is possible to remove “ fox marks ” if the injury is taken in time, but not otherwise ; for damp coiTodes the tissue of the paper. When a book has become so scarce as to be practically unattainable, it is frequently reprinted; and as the object of a good reprint is to imitate the original as exactly as possible, care must be taken that a modem copy is not substituted for the original. Reprints are not, as a rule* made for fraudulent purposes, but merely to enable col¬ lectors to have an exact copy of some very rare volume which they can never hope -to possess in the original. Sometimes, however, a reprint is palmed off on the unwary, though never wilfully by anyone, dealer or otherwise, who has a character to lose. We have shortly pointed out the chief reasons which render one book of more value than another, even when they both belong to the same edition of the same work, and will conclude this chapter with a word of caution which seems to be necessary, considering the numerous breaches of a very simple rule which are continually being brought to light. Many original editions of the works of Dickens, Thackeray, Lever, Pierce Egan, and other modern authors, were issued in parts, and at the present time there is great anxiety displayed by collectors to procure as many of them as possible. Why a book in parts should be of greater value than when it is bound, it is not easy to say, but the whims and fancies of collectors have to be humoured, and the fact remains that to bind the parts is to throw so much money away.' Thus, the average auction value of a copy of the 1837 edition of the “Pickwick Papers,” in 'parts, is about £8; 8 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. when bound, it is quite the exception to get a bid of half that amount, while in most cases the value does not exceed £T 10s. If diming the process of binding the edges are cut, then the value will sink still lower, according to the extent of the injury. If parts must be bound up let the edges remain “uncut,” and be careful to preserve the pages of advertisements and even the original covers, for some other occult reason insists that this precaution shall be observed, at the peril of the owner. At the Mackenzie sale at Sotheby’s, in March, 1889, a large number of works originally issued in parts were put up for competition. In nearly every instance the owner had taken especial care to have the parts bound up intact, covers, advertisements, and all, and the binders employed had been the best the country could produce. The prices realised were enormous, though they would have been the reverse had one or two very simple rules been disregarded. CHAPTER II. Cleaning and Repairing Boohs—A Selection of Common Recipes. It was mentioned incidentally in tlie last chapter that there are methods of renovating books which are dirty, or otherwise out of condition. The word “ dirt” must be held to include everything of a foreign nature which discolours the paper; damp, that most difficult of all eyesores to remove, is therefore dirt, so is iron-mould, and so we may, by a stretch of imagination, designate even a worm-hole. Before giving some approved recipes for the removal of defects, it is well to remind the amateur that it is the height of folly to endeavour to clean a valuable work without a thorough and practical knowledge of all the processes, and not only that, but of which one to apply in the particular case, as well. He must be able to diagnose, so to speak, the symptoms of the book, and not imagine that one general cleaning will suffice to obliterate all the marks. Paper of any kind of texture should therefore have the dirt upon it identified before any attempt is made to remove it, and if the book is very much out of condition, it will have to be taken to pieces by removing the cover and cutting the binder’s thread. Needless to say, the leaves must not be torn out, as to do that would effec¬ tually prevent the rebinding. 10 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Grease spots, if there are any, must be removed in the first place, as the presence of fats of any kind may interfere with some of the other processes. For this pur¬ pose lay the leaf to be operated on, on a sheet of glass or other flat substance. Now take some perfectly clean blotting-paper or cotton-wool, and make it into a smooth pad, which having dipped into benzine, apply to the places where the grease spots are. Do not rub the marks, but pat them very gently again and again, until the spirit, thoroughly amalgamating with the fat, carries it off by evaporation. Another process of removing grease marks consists in covering the face of the spots with powdered chalk, and placing over it a piece of paper. If a hot iron is then pressed on the surface of the latter, the grease will speedily disappear. For books, this recipe is much better than the one previously mentioned, which is in practice usually reserved for cleaning prints; these, of course, can be worked upon from the back. When the grease marks are removed, the page must be left to dry, and then given a general cleaning. There are many methods of doing this, but the milder the remedy, the more satisfactory the result. One of the simplest, and at the same time most effectual processes, is to place the leaf in a leaden trough, and to pour upon it a shallow surface of water. If this is exposed to the sun’s rays for a day or two, everything but fixed stains or dyes will come out, and the leaf can then be turned and treated similarly on the other side. It must then be dried again, and as to this, care must be taken that it is not dried in the sun, or it will turn yellow. When the sun is not available, some other method of cleaning will necessarily have to be adopted, and perhaps the least obnoxious chemical mixture is that composed of one part of chloride of lime to about forty of water. The leaf to be operated upon must, in the first instance, be soaked in water, and placed in a shallow china dish. CLEANING AND REPAIRING BOOKS. 11 If the solution is then poured on the face and back of the leaf alternately it will bleach it quite white and remove most, though sometimes not all, of the stains. This process requires to be very carefully carried out, as the tendency of chloride of lime is to rot any material to which it is applied. This general surface-cleaning will, in many cases, be all that is required, but if some of the stains prove obstinate, or in part resist the process, it will be as well to touch the spots with nitro-hydrochloric acid; in fact, in very bad cases first one of these remedies and then the other will have to be tried before success is finally achieved. After this the leaf must be thoroughly washed in clear cold water, and the best way of doing this is to place it on a board, and hold it under a gentle stream until the whole of the chlorine is removed. Some experts use a mixture of chloride of lime, oxalic acid, and water, which is ready to use the moment it is properly pro¬ portioned, that is to say when the liquid turns a magenta colour. In this case, also, a washing in cold water com¬ pletes the process. Another recipe is as follows: Place the leaf on a board, and then thinly cover it with the finest powdered salt. Lemon-juice must then be squeezed upon the surface and the salt dissolved, after which the leaf is washed clean in boiling water. The objections to this process are the diffi¬ culty of evenly impregnating the salt and the use of hot water, which, as may be imagined, is exceedingly dele¬ terious. However, if the experiment is adopted, the paper must be allowed to dry gradually, and on no account be placed in the sun or before a fire. Damp is the great enemy of books as well as of prints, and if it has got a firm hold on the tissue of the paper the case is hopeless. Unlike mere surface dirt, damp attacks the fibre of the paper, rotting it through and practically ruining it. If, however, the injury has not 12 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. gone too far, the part affected may first of all be touched with a light wash of spirits of wine, and, when dry, with a weak solution of oxalic acid. If this remedy fails, it may be taken for granted that the “ fox spots,” as they are termed, have got a firm grip, and the only course remain¬ ing is to prevent them from spreading. The well-known affinity of lime for water may be made use of in pro¬ tecting books, for if saucers of this chemical are placed up and down the library, the damp in the atmosphere will be speedily attracted. It is curious that this obvious remedy should be so little known. There is a method of repairing holes caused by book¬ worms, but it is so tedious and generally so unsatisfactory that an explanation at any length would be superfluous. It consists in filling up the holes with pulped paper (prepared by chewing) which can be done by welding it in with a mallet, the process being somewhat similar to that adopted by gold-beaters, who do not rely so much on the heaviness of their blows as on their number. When quite dry the ’paper which protrudes is cut off with a sharp razor and the edges of the circle touched with fish-size, made by boiling fish-bones in water with a little isinglass. We have heard of a lady who makes a “ handsome income ” by thus dexterously repairing the ravages of the book-worm, though there is reason to fear that a source of income such as this must be un¬ certain in the extreme. Chloride of lime and the-other substances are quite powerless to remove some stains, and consequently it is better to leave the pure surface-cleaning until everything obnoxious has been removed. Thus, as already explained, grease marks ought always to be got rid of at an early stage, in the way pointed out; and if any Indian-ink stains are observable, they should be assisted out with hot water. Pencil marks may be removed with bread, or—better still—by a washing of thin paste. Lead stains can be CLEANING AND REPAIRING BOOKS. 13 got out by means of an application of peroxide of hydrogen, commonly called oxygenated water, which, owing to a chemical process hardly necessary to be ex¬ plained here, is in point of fact a bleacher. Another bleacher is hydrochloric acid, but while it whitens and purifies the paper it rots it to such an extent that sometimes the leaf operated on will snap shortly off: like a piece of paper which has been baked in an oven. The reader may note that sulphuric ether, turpentine, ammonia, benzine, and naphtha will all remove grease stains, and that oxalic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid in solution will eliminate writing ink without in any way acting on the printer’s ink. This latter is a fact specially worth remembering. Once more let it be said that to satisfactorily clean a printed page requires great patience and a vast amount of experience. The danger lies in the fact that not only will the dirt come out, but the printed matter as well, unless skill be brought to bear in order to prevent such a catastrophe. Worthless books are not worth even cleaning; valuable ones should be placed in the hands of an expert. The above remarks are applicable more or less to the renovation of prints, and in fact to paper of any kind which contains printed matter. Some papers, however, are more fibrous than others, and this fact furnishes another element which has to be taken into consideration in every attempt to make new books out of .old. In many cases the leather binding of old books will be found to be broken, rubbed, or decayed. When this is the case, plaster the part affected with paste to fill up the holes; then take the yolk of an egg, beat it up with a fork, and apply it to the leather with a sponge, having first cleansed it with a dry cloth. To produce a polished surface, a hot iron must be passed over the leather. There is also a varnish made in France, called “French 14 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. varnish for leather,” which costs about 10s. a pound; it may be had at any oil and colour man’s. Many other useful recipes will also be found in Bonnardot’s “ Essai sur l’Art de Hestaurer les Estampes et les Livres ” (Paris, 1858), a work described as being one of the best on the subject, and full of useful hints. To describe the well-known materials, such as morocco, russia, calf, and the rest, would be unnecessary, as they are perfectly well known to most people, whether book collectors or not. Their applicability to any par¬ ticular class of work depends, of course, on the question of price, and also, in a great measure, upon taste. Some collectors have as many of their books bound alike as possible, and taste would seem to require that the binding should be “ neat, not gaudy ”; for nothing looks so much out of place as a row of gilded volumes, and nothing certainly could better describe the habits of their owner. Let books, therefore, be well bound, always remembering that a profusion of gilt is to be deprecated, since it adds greatly to the expense, and does not maintain its bril¬ liancy for any length of time. A half-bound book (a book which has the comers and back only covered with leather, and the sides with paper or cloth), with just sufficient lettering to enable the title to be discovered by inspection, would seem to be the most wearable. In some instances, of course, to rebind a book is simply to spoil it—for many volumes derive their value solely from the curious character of the binding, and this is chiefly observable in specimens of typography issued from the earlier presses. In these instances, the work should be preserved in its original frame as long as it will hold together; and even then it will, in most cases, be more judicious to have the binding repaired than the work re-bound. CHAPTER III. The Sizes of Boohs—Latin Names of Towns—The System of Roman Notation . Paper used in the manufacture of books is made in large sheets, which are afterwards cut to the required size. Not that each piece of paper printed upon consists of two leaves—like a sheet of writing paper—afterwards stitched together with many others of similar dimensions. This would be too primitive a method, and remind us too forcibly of the proverbial triangle to satisfy the requirements of the present century when books are published in such prodigious numbers. In fact it is not probable that such a system was employed even in the earliest days, for a perfectly obvious course, and one that saves immense trouble, is to print the entire sheet and subsequently to fold it as required. The method of doing this will be explained by the aid of a simple illustration, but in the meantime the reader must note the dimensions which sheets of paper commonly assume. The old fashioned paper-makers’ moulds had fixed measurements, but this is not always the case at the present day, so that considerable variety exists in the sizes of papers, even of those bearing the same name. Though confusing in cases where accuracy is rigidly demanded, this disparity is not likely to very greatly 16 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. inconvenience the amateur, for the difference of an inch or two in the measurement of a whole sheet becomes less noticeable when the latter is folded into quires. The following measurements in inches will therefore be found sufficiently correct for our purpose. It must be remem- bered that these dimensions are for the whole sheet as it lies flat on the table and before it is folded: Foolscap . Post Large Post Demy Crown Royal Imperial . Elephant . Atlas in. in. 17 by 13.V 181 by 151 201 by 16.% 20 by 15fr 20 by 30 24 by 19 30 by 22 28 by 23 34 by 26 From the names given to these various papers a system of classification of books has sprung up which, though confusing in the first instance, becomes easy enough to comprehend after a little practice. The question is often heard asked: “ What size is this book P ” and the answer “ Octavo ” (8vo) is equally familiar. The answer may, however, refer to Quarto (4to) or Folio, or have reference to some of the smaller- sized volumes, such as Duodecimo (12mo) or Twenty- fours (24mo). So also we may have Foolscap 8vos, Post 8vos, Demy 8\os, Crown 8vos, or Royal 8vos; or, on the other hand. Crown 4tos or Royal 4tos, and Imperial, Elephant, and Atlas folios, respectively. All these books are different in measurement, and are so commonly quoted in cata¬ logues* that it is necessary to know something of them. It will be seen that a book, whether 24mo, 12mo, 8vo, 4to, or folio, may be made of paper of any size, and that it is the name of the paper which creates the distinction between one kind of 8vo, &c., and another. SIZES OF BOOKS. » 17 For instance, let tlie reader take a sheet of brown paper measuring 17in. by 13Un. This is about the measure¬ ment of a sheet of foolscap, as will be observed from a glance at the foregoing table. Take the sheet of paper, which will be found to be oblong in shape, and place it thus: D C A Fold it at AA, then at BB, and finally at CO, when the paper will be of the size represented by B D C C; that is to say, one-eighth of the whole sheet of foolscap. In this way we arrive at the expression “Foolscap 8vo.” Similarly, 8vos may be made from Post, Large Post, Demy, Crown, Royal, or Imperial papers, and as the whole sheet becomes larger, so also does the book made from it. A 4to book could be made by folding at AA and then at BB, a folio by folding at AA only. The sizes Elephant and Atlas are used exclusively for folio books, which are of the shape of 8vo, only very much larger. Quartos, on the other hand, are always square; while 12mos are again of the shape of 8vos, though smaller. Anyone who is accustomed to handle books can guess at their size with sufficient accuracy to answer every c 18 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. practical purpose, and further than this it is hardly necessary to go. Some theorists, however, have provided themselves with arguments which completely upset the time-worn practice of many generations of booksellers, and according to them it is quite possible for a book which looks of the folio size to be in reality a quarto, or vice versa ; while an 8vo, on the other hand, may be square. We are unable at present to follow the course of reasoning put forward by these specialists, and, under any circumstances, it is quite unnecessary for the amateur to trouble himself with fine-drawn distinctions, which may exist in particular cases, but which are certainly not accepted as a general rule. We are now able to see how books of various sizes are made up, though we have yet to learn of what size a bound book placed before us may be. This fortunately is easy, owing to the presence of what are known as “ signatures”—those little numbers or letters, or both, found at the foot of many pages of almost every book, and which were first introduced as a guide to the binder by Antonio Zorat, of Milan, in the year 1470. As the true size of a volume is determined by the number of leaves into which the paper is folded, and as these “ signatures ” appear at stated intervals, all that is necessary is to count the leaves (not pages) between signature and signature and then to refer to the following table: Folio consists of 2 leaves (that is, four pages) between sig¬ nature and signature. Quarto (4to) consists of 4 leaves; that is, 8 pages. Octavo (8vo) consists of 8 leaves; that is, 16 pages. Duodecimo (12mo) consists of 12 leaves; that is, 24 pages. Sixteenmo (16mo) consists of 16 leaves; that is, 32 pages. Thirty-twxmio (32mo) consists of 32 leaves; that is, 64 pages. Sixty-fourmo (64mo) consists of 64 leaves; that is, 128 pages. Although there are other smaller sizes, such as 72mo, 128mo, and the like, and many variations which are SIZES OF BOOKS. 19 more or less arbitrary, they are very rarely met with. When they occur, the same principle of computation may usually be followed; or, as a further test, the binder’s thread which runs through the middle of every sheet may be observed, and in this case the number of leaves from one thread to the next will give the same result. Occasionally, but very rarely, some old books have no signatures, and when this is the case the size may be obtained from the position of the watermark. Hold one of the pages to the light; then if the watermark is in the middle of the page, the book is folio; if at the bottom and cut in half, it is 4to; if at the top and also cut in half, 8vo; and if on the outer edge, either 12mo or 16mo. Examples being frequently useful to explain a position which at first sight may not appear altogether clear, it may be observed that the Graphic and Illustrated London News are in folio, Punch and most other comic papers in 4to, while Cornhill, the Leisure Hour , Good Words , in fact most of the monthlies, together with the “ Library Manual ” the reader now holds in his hand, are all examples of different sizes of 8vo. Every title-page contains, or should contain, the name of the work, the name of the author, the publisher’s name and address, and the date; and, so far as the actual reading of these is concerned, nothing can be easier. It is far different, however, with some of the books printed in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, for the name of the town from which the book was issued does not bear, in many instances, the slightest resemblance to its appellation of to-day. For example, there is an edition of Tacitus described as being printed at “ Lugd. Bat.,” in the year 1640. The words “ Lugd. Bat.” would not strike everyone as standing for the University City of Leyden, or Leida as it was anciently called. The words in full are “ Lugdunum Batavorum,” * c 2 20 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. and it was from tliis city of Leyden that so many beautiful specimens of the Elzevir Press proceeded. So, also, the date will frequently be found written in Roman numerals, occasionally inverted, causing the greatest inconvenience to anyone who is not familiar with them. We shall, therefore, in this chapter give a list of towns where printing was anciently carried on, with their English equivalents, and then add a few remarks on numeration, so that the learner may be prepared for further progress. The Latin names of the towns are given in alphabetical order, and the dates, refer to the first establishment of the printing press in the localities referred to. Abbatis Villa.

The foregoing list does not, of course, comprise all the places where printing was anciently carried on; on the contrary, numberless small and unimportant towns possessing one or more presses were scattered all over Europe, from which copies of books were rapidly issued, and are frequently met with. A very complete list of these will be found in Dr. Cotton’s “ Typographical Gazetteer,” to which the reader is referred for any further information he may require. With respect to the dates at the foot of the title- pages of these old works, we have already said that the Roman system of notation was often adopted. As this frequently gives rise to considerable perplexity, it may be observed that when a line is found over a numeral its value is thereby increased a thousand¬ fold, thus: VIII — 8; VIII = 8000. As we have not yet arrived at the year 2000 Anno Domini, the only numeral likely to be affected is I standing for the unit, which is sometimes made to do duty for a thousand in the shape of I, leaving the centuries to be added according to the circumstances of the case. The form 1DXXXI is equal therefore to MDXXXI, or, as we should write it, 1531. There were, however, no less than six different ways of writing a thousand, namely: CIq, CD, 00, J} 1, W, M. The third, fourth, and fifth of these signs are purely arbitrary, and should be made a note of. The ordinary numerals used by the Romans were I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D or Iq for 500, M or Cl£) for 1000; and when any character was followed by one of less or equal value, the expression denoted the sum of their simple values, but when preceded by one of less value, the difference. Thus III stood ROMAN NOTATION. 25 for 3, IV for 4, and VI for 6, XL for 40, LXX for 70, and so on. Every Q added to Iq and every 0 and q joined to CIq increased its value tenfold; thus, Iqq = 5000. It is the double form of the D standing for 500 which gives rise to most of the difficulties experienced by amateurs; but when it is remembered that D and Io constitute one and the same symbol, and that CIq is equivalent to 1000, the method of calculating will be seen to be very easy and simple. One or two examples of symbols in common use will illustrate most of the cases likely to be met with: M[0X = 1510; MDX = 1510; CI0I0CX = 1610; MDCX = 1610. In the example CIqIqCX, which appears so complicated, OIq equals, as stated above, 1000, Iq is only another form of D representing 500, 0 stands for 100, and X for ten, and these amounts added together make 1610. CIo Io CCC XC 1000 500 300 90 1890. CHAPTER IV. List of the principal Technical Terms used by Booksellers and Printers. The list of technical terms which follows has been compiled from various sources, but principally from “ Power’s Handy Book about Books,” published in 1870 by the late John Wilson, of 11, King William Street, Strand, London, a work now out of print. Advanre Sheets. —Sometimes called “ Early copies.” Portions of a work supplied elsewhere previous to publication, generally for simultaneous reproduction. Many English authors supply “advance sheets” to American publishers, so that the work can be brought out in England and America simultaneously. Allonym. — A false proper name. A work published to deceive, under the name of some author, but not by him, as “Peter Parley’s Annual.” Almanack Day. —The day on which almanacks are issued by the publishers to the trade, usually November 21st in every year. Anastatic Printing. — A. mode of obtaining fac-simile im¬ pressions of any printed page or engraving without re-setting the types or re-engraving the plate The page to be copied is first saturated with a solution of nitric acid, which does not affect the printer’s ink. A transfer is then taken on a plate of zinc, which is in process of time eaten away by the acid from the non-printed part of the page. This leaves the printed portion in relief. Anonymous. —Without a name. Ajpoconym. —A name deprived of one or more of its initial letters. TECHNICAL TERMS. 27 Author's Proof. —The proof taken after the first proof is cor¬ rected, and sent to the author for correction or amendment. Autonym. —An author’s real name. Bands. — Pieces of leather, cardboard, or other suitable substance glued to the back of a book previous to covering. The space between these is called “ between bands.” The strings whereon the sheets of a volume are sewn. Bastard Fount. —Small-faced type, upon a larger body, adopted for the purpose of making the printed pages look as if the lines had been spaced out, or “leaded,” as it is called. Bazil. —Tanned sheepskin, used for common bindings. Books bound in sheepskin are sometimes described in catalogues by the contraction “ shp.” B ach Letter. —A peculiar kind of type formerly used in this country, generally known elsewhere as “ Flemish or German character.” Specimen of OBlacfi letter. Bloclc Boohs. — Books printed from blocks of wood engraved on one side of the leaf only. Boards. —Books are sometimes described as being in “boards.” This refers to the binding, and they are so described when bound in millboard. Cloth-bound books did not come into vogue until about 1826. • Boohs Uncut. —An uncut book is one that has not been primed by the binder’s knife. It is a mistake to suppose that the term has reference only to those books which have not been cut for reading, for, even if they have, they may be still “uncut” in the technical sense of the term. Bosses. —Plates of metal or other hard substance formerly attached to the corners of books as a preservation against injury. Bourgeois. —A description of type ranking in size immediately after long primer. Specimen of Bourgeois Type. Brace. —A character cut in metal, thus Brevier. —A very common type. Specimen of Brevier Tj r pe. Brilliant. —The smallest sized type in use in this country. Specimen of Brilliant Type. Broadside. — One full page, printed on one side only of a whole sheet of paper. 28 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Canon. —This is the largest type that has a specific name. There are, however, larger descriptions of type, which are frequently termed four, five, six, &c., line pica. The following is an example of canon type : Canon. Catchword. —The last word occurring after the last line of a page, such word being repeated immediately on the top of the following page. Catchwords are still used in Acts of Parlia¬ ment and a few official documents. Chap Book. —A small book or pamphlet carried about for sale by hawkers. “ Last dying speeches and confessions ” are familiar examples of chap books. ' Chronogram. —An inscription sometimes found in old books in which a certain date is expressed by Roman numerals, as, for example: “My Day Closed Is In Immortality,” the result being MUCIII, the year in which Queen Elizabeth died. Cl. — Cloth. Colophon. —The conclusion of a book which contains formal matter only, such as the date or place of publication. Diamond. —One of the smallest sized types in use in Eng¬ land ; there are 2800 letters to a pound weight. Specimen of Diamond Type. Double Book. —A book printed on half sheets. Double Pica. —A type about twice the size of small pica. Double Pica Type. Duodecimo. —Sometimes called twelve-mo, and generally written 12mo. A book printed on paper folded into twelve leaves; that is, twenty-four pages. The signatures are B, B 2, and B 3 on the first, third, and ninth pages. Emerald. — A type of a size between nonpareil and minion, and now but little used. However, for the sake of consistency, we give an example : Specimen of Emerald Type. End Papers. —The blank leaves at the beginning and end of a book. More commonly called fly leaves. TECHNICAL TERMS. 29 English. —A type the next size larger than pica, and gene¬ rally used for large Bibles. Specimen of English Type. Extra. —Sometimes described as “Calf Extra,” or “Morocco Extra.” A term applied to a book which is bound in a superior manner, well “ forwarded,” lined with good marble paper, and has silk “headbands,” and gilt with a narrow roll round the sides and inside the “squares” (for the meaning of which see post). Fac. —Small wooden or metal square blocks, with emblematical figures carved thereon, having a hole in the centre to admit a capital letter. The large and fantastically graven initial letters sometimes seen at the commencement of every chapter are produced by “ Facs.” Folio. —A term referring to the size of a book printed on paper folded into two leaves, or four pages. Forrell. —Bough skins, anciently used for binding purposes. Forwarding. —The art of the bookbinder, comprising all his work up to the time when it is ready for colouring. Great Primer. —A type sometimes called “Bible Text.” Specimen of Great Primer Type. Grooves. —The projections formed on the sides of books in backing, to admit of the boards lying even with the back when laced in. Half Bound. —When the back and corners only of a book are covered with leather and the sides with paper or cloth, it is said to be half bound: “ hf. bd.” in catalogues. Headband .—The overlapping material at the top and bottom of the back of a book. * Imprint. —The name of the place where any particular book was printed. Its Own Paper. —When several sheets of a work are printed on the paper that the whole work is intended to be printed on, it is said to be “pulled on its own paper.” Large Paper. —Paper of an extra size. It often happens that a limited' number of books forming an edition are printed off on larger paper than the rest. Such works are larger in measure¬ ment and have wider margins. The value is also greater. Lithography. —The art of engraving on stone and transfer¬ ring the impression to paper. 30 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Logotype. —A whole word cast in one block is a logotype ; the system never prevailed to any extent, as compositors prefer to spell their words out for themselves rather than have a multiplicity of little boxes in the cases. Long Primer. —A type supposed to bear its name from the fact that it was at one time universally employed in printing primers. Specimen of Long Primer Type. Millboard. —A thick kind of paper, used for the covering of books. Before the employment of pasteboard and millboards, books were either bound in calf or left unbound like modern French novels. Minion. —The name of a type half the size of English, and sometimes used for newspapers. Specimen of Minion Type. Nonpareil. —A type smaller than minion and larger than pearl. Specimen of Nonpareil Type. Octavo. —Contraction, oct., 8vo, already described as the size of a book printed on paper folded into eight leaves, or sixteen pages. The signatures are B, B 2, on pages 1 and 3, C, C 2, on pages 17 and 19, &c. The usual sizes are Imperial 8vo, Royal 8vo, Demy 8vo, Crown 8vo, Post 8vo, and Foolscap 8vo. Out of Print. —A book is said to be out of print when the publisher has no more copies bn hand. Pamphlet. —Any work which does not exceed five sheets octavo ; that is to say, 80 pages. Paragon. —A type one size larger than Great Primer, but which is now very nearly obsolete. Pasteboard. —A substance used in bookbinding, and made of sheets of paper glued together. Pasteboard superseded the old wooden boards, and was itself superseded by millboard, which, in its turn, has been almost entirely superseded by ■cloth. Pearl. —A type used principally for pocket Bibles, dictionaries, .and the like. Specimen of Pearl Type. Pica. —The standard type by which all other sizes of type are classified. Specimen of Pica Type. Quarto. ~ Contraction, 4to. The size of a book printed on paper folded into four leaves, or eight pages. The signatures are B on page 1, C on page 9, D on page 17, &c. TECHNICAL TERMS. 31 Recto. —Used to denominate the page of a book printed on the right-hand side, always the odd page. Register. —A term used in printing when one page is exactly printed on the back of another. Reprint. —Sometimes called Excerpt. The whole or part of a re-issued book. Ruby. —A type one size larger than pearl and smaller than nonpareil; it is half the size of small pica. Specimen of Ruby Type. Script.—' The name of a type made to imitate writing. (zecwitn/ 4 cukl Sexdecimo. —Contraction, 16mo. The size of a book or paper folded into 16 leaves, making 32 pages. Signatures. —The capital letters or figures under the foot line of the first page of each sheet of a book, to indicate their order in binding. The invention of signatures is usually accredited to Antonio Zorat, of Milan, in the year 1470. Small Pica. —A type one size smaller than pica and larger than long primer. Specimen of Small Pica Type. Squares .—The portion of the boards of a volume which project over the edges. i Super-extra. —Has reference, like “extra,” to the binding of a book, which must, in order to earn this title, be “forwarded ” in the best manner, with coloured “endpapers,” double “head- bands,” and broad “registers.” Superiors. —Small letters or figures placed above a word and having reference to a foot-note are called superiors. Tail-Piece. —An ornament placed in a short page to fill up the space. T.e.g. —Top edges gilt. Type. —The letters employed in printing, usually cast in metal. Many of the different kinds of type, principally those in ordinary use have been already described. Besides these, however, there are other types, such as “Trafalgar,” “two-line English,” “two- line double pica,” “ two-line great primer,” and “ two-line pica.” Verso. —The page of a book on the reverse or left-hand side, in contradistinction to the recto , and therefore always the even page. 32 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Vignette .—Formerly any kind of printer’s ornaments, as heads, flowers, and tail-pieces; more recently any kind of woodcut, engraving, &c., not enclosed within a definite border. Water Mark .—An ornamental figure placed upon the wires of the mould, leaving its impression on the paper as it dries. A “water mark” will be found on every Bank of England note and in nearly all books. Y.e .—Yellow edges. In the above list of technical terms it will probably be noticed that no attempt has been made to describe the different kinds of papers. This is owing to the fact of there being a large number of distinct varieties, an enumeration of which would convert any work that dealt with them into a description of the paper trade. It must be remembered that whatever the kind of paper employed, whether toned or white, the sheets are generally of the dimensions given; and the size of the paper, with a view to the determination of the size of the book, is all that need interest the general reader. A special kind known as “ india-paper ” may, however, be referred to, since the term is often used in catalogues. Once seen, there is no mistaking this paper. It is a very superior but very thin toned paper, used chiefly for taking early impressions of engravings. The earlier the impression, the more valuable the print; and con¬ sequently impressions on india-paper are generally re¬ garded as superior to all others. Books are frequently found with plates on india-paper, and the fact of their being thus embellished adds materially to the value of the copy. CHAPTER Y. The Colophon and Title-Page—The Bibliographers — General and Special Works of Reference. The title-page, such as we see it, though a very old method of declaring in a few words the main object of the book and by whom it was written, printed, or published, where, and when, is, comparatively speaking, a modern method of attaining that end. None of the ancient manuscripts had title-pages so far as we are aware, and when printing by means of movable types was introduced the old-fashioned “Colophon” was still adhered to. This colophon, or finishing stroke, is found at the end of a volume, and usually sets forth the printer’s name and the date when the work was finished or published. This system continued until 1491, the year of Caxton’s death, when it began to fall into disrepute, and from that date to the present time the title-page has been almost universally adopted. No books printed by Caxton and none before his time, consequently, contain title-pages; and if the reader should come across any old work printed before 1491, he must turn to the end for the purpose of acquiring any detailed information of the kind mentioned. Books printed in England before 1491 are so excessively rare that it is in the last degree improbable that the amateur will ever possess a specimen, but foreign-printed books are often D 34 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. met with, and the opportunity of consulting a colophon may occasionally arise. These early-printed volumes are, however, becoming scarcer every year; many find their way into public libraries, while others are destroyed by fire or the thousand-and-one accidents to which books are, in common with other destructible articles, peculiarly liable. It is an axiom well understood by all collectors of books that the value of a library depends entirely upon the skill of the collector. A mass of books brought together on no principle, and without any, or with but little, regard to classification, can hardly be called a library, even although the collection may consist of many thousands of volumes. What is required is that the shelves shall contain a sufficient number of works upon some special subject, or upon any subject, and that they shall be selected with a due regard for utility. It is of course impossible for any collector, whether he be a single person or a body corporate, such as the British Museum, to form a complete collection of all the works extant; all that can be attempted is to amass a sufficient number of really useful books, the best of their class, and as cheaply and expeditiously as possible. The trustees of the British Museum have nearly 2,000,000 volumes in their possession; and these probably do not represent one-third of the number that might be collected. In the formation of a private library the only guides that can be laid down are individual tastes and habits. Some may wish to form a collection of works of fiction only; others may be scientifically inclined; others, again, may have a taste for philosophy or the fine arts, and may seek to possess themselves of no other works but such as refer to any of these subjects. By far the greater class of book collectors would, however, THE BIBLIOGRAPHERS. 35 seem to accumulate anything that may happen to come in their way. Bibliography is a science, and the practical impossibility of acquiring a complete grasp of the subject during the compass of a lifetime leads many persons to devote themselves to some particular branch, in which at least they hope to become proficient; but as they proceed they find that there is no such thing as finality, and that even a limited field of investigation contains much that they can never hope to explore. Year by year, however, progress is made, and if we cannot reach the goal, we may at any rate approach nearer to it; and to those who are interested in their journey, much pleasant diversion may be experienced on the way. Guides are in all cases needed, for without them the journey must be commenced afresh, and every foot of soil explored anew. The labours of many generations of bibliographers have amassed a vast store of learning: this has been analysed and digested by their successors, who in their turn have added something to the common stock of knowledge. The result of their researches has often been published, and the road they travelled mapped out, so that at the present time we are in possession of, facts which, had they not been collected and verified, might and most probably would have become entirely lost through lapse of time. Although the study of bibliography is a vastly different thing from the mere collection of a greater or smaller number of books, the two have undoubtedly much in common. Without the efforts of the biblio¬ grapher—who writes about and records the circumstances connected with books—the collector would remain in comparative ignorance. Most large collectors are biblio¬ graphers as well, for he who puts pen to paper with the object of describing a single volume in his possession d 2 36 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. earns tliat title to a greater or less extent. His words may be a guide hereafter, when the opportunity of collecting evidence has gone, and he distinctly adds to the common knowledge and contributes to the advantage of those who come after him. To guide us on our way books are consequently necessary, and the deeper our researches the more numerous and abstruse they become. In a short treatise like this, however,, all that can be done is to point just a little way in advance, and the books requisite for this modest performance are fortunately easily accessible and limited in number. One of the first to confront the reader will be Lowndes’ “ Bibliographer’s Manual,” published by Bell and Sons of York Street, Covent Garden. This work gives a list of English-published books from the earliest times, arranged under the authors’ names, and professedly brought down to the year 1871, although, as a matter of fact, it is somewhat deficient. If by no means reliable, it is nevertheless an indispensable book of reference, since it is referred to in most catalogues; besides which, there is no other work which exactly fills its place. Lowndes’ plan was to collate books of importance and also to give their auction values. The collations are good, but the prices affixed have become so unreliable as to be worse than useless. The only work which gives a list of books sold at auction and the prices realised, bears the title of “ Book Prices Current ”; it is edited by myself, and published by Elliot Stock, 62, Paternoster Bow, in quarterly parts. Its object is to afford reliable informa¬ tion about every book sold, with the purchaser’s name and the price paid for it. A very full and compre¬ hensive index at the end of the year enables the person consulting it to turn to some thousands of volumes GENERAL WORKS OF REFERENCE. 37 and to obtain a good idea of their average value. Four annual volumes have already been published, at a charge of £1 7s. 6d. each. Neither Lowndes’ work nor “ Book Prices Current ” contain subject-indexes, and in this dilemma we must consult Watt’s “ Bibliotheca Britannica,” 4 vols., 4to, . 1824, two volumes of which consist entirely of a list of subjects of every conceivable kind, with cross- references to the other two volumes containing the authors’ names. From 1824 to the present date the subject-indexes of the “ English Catalogue ” may be consulted, and so the chain is complete. Another work which can be recommended is Sonnen- schein’s “ The Best Books,” published by Swan Sonnen- schein and Co., at £1 Is.; but, as the title implies, this publication does not profess to contain more than a selection of works made in the discretion of the author. The reader will not find here a general bibliographical dictionary such as that furnished by Watt’s “Bibliotheca Britannica.” Another subject-index, but one which has reference only to works actually in print, and which can be procured at first hand from the booksellers, is the “ Catalogue of Current Literature.” This is the most useful book of the kind published, and is very skilfully compiled from a large number of publishers’ catalogues, which form the body of the work. The above five books may fairly be said to cover the subject so far as general English works of reference are concerned, though there are many others dealing with particular branches of bibliography which may have to be consulted either occasionally or continually according to circumstances. Much depends upon the question whether the collector is a general lover, in which case he should find the works already mentioned sufficient for general purposes, or whether he follows 38 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. some distinct branch of his subject, such for instance as that which embraces original editions of popular modern authors, about which there is at the present time so much inquiry. In the latter event he must be master of his subject, and there is no reason why he should not be, if he will provide himself with the best guides and study them in an intelligent fashion. It is a common complaint, and one that is based on considerable truth, that bibliographical works are expensive. In this respect they rank with all other special treatises, for where the demand is limited the price is necessarily high. Medical works are very expensive, so are law books, simply because the sale is limited. Novels, on the other hand, are cheap, and it is no uncommon thing to find that as the sale increases, editions cheaper still are published to satisfy the popular demand. Even bibliographical works may be obtained at reduced rates by advertising in The Bazaar , Exchange and Mart newspaper, or by waiting until a favourable opportunity of purchase arrives.

Some twenty or thirty years ago it was the fashion to collect works of sterling merit from famous old Presses; and although popular taste has since become in a great measure diverted into other channels, it still remains necessary to know something about these old printers and the works they published, for in the earliest days of the art the printer was frequently his own author and publisher, and even his own binder. The most famous Press of antiquity was that estab¬ lished by Aldus Manutius at Yenice in 1494, which continued under the superintendence of his son, Paolo Manutius, and his grandson, Aldus, jun., until 1597, a period of exactly 103 years, and during that time many hundreds of classical works, remarkable for their purity of text no less than for excellence of workman¬ ship, made their appearance. The device adopted by Manutius was the well-known Anchor and Dolphin, which first appears on the Dante of 1502, and is supposed to have been borrowed from Benedetto Mantegna’s wood block in Colonna’s “ Reveries of Polyphilus,” which was published in 1499. The famous Yirgil issued from this Press in 1501 was the first book ever printed in italics, a form of type modelled after the neat handwriting of Petrarch, and which of course is familiar to everyone who opens a book. 42 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Many works from the Aldine Press are extremely rare and still command liigli prices, but as a rule they have fallen in value from 30 to 50 per cent, in recent years, sharing the fate of all classical works, which—exceptions apart—have been abandoned by col¬ lectors in favour of less exacting works of modern date, which will be referred to rather fully further on. Aldus Manutius, the founder of the Press bearing his name, was a fine example of the painstaking man of letters. Every moment of his time was occupied; for five years, as he himself confesses, he never passed a peaceful hour, and the result of his labours was a collection of the works of the best G-reek and Latin authors, in many instances rescued from decaying manuscripts, and reproduced with the corrections which generations of slavish copying had rendered necessary. As previously stated, the Aldine collector’s guide is the well-known Benouard’s “ Annales de l’lmprimerie des Aide,” Paris, 3 vols., 8vo, 1825, in which will be found arranged in chronological order an account of every known production of this Press. The little books known as “ Elzevirs ” have been in great demand almost from the time of their publication, and French bibliographers manifest an extraordinary interest in them even at the present time. In England they are not so highly esteemed, but even here good copies of the “ right ” dates sell for high prices. The Elzevir Press was established by Louis Elzevir at Leyden in 1583. He had several sons, among whom were Matthieu, Louis, and Bonaventure; from these were descended the famous printers who carried on business at both Leyden and Amsterdam, and whose names became familiar the world over as producers of cheap, admirably-printed books at a time when paper and print were expensive and technical skill at a discount. The productions of the Elzevir Press are, however, OLD PRINTERS AND OLD PRESSES 43 not to be compared with those of Aldus Manutius from a classical point of view. The former abound in errors, showing that the care and attention bestowed upon them were confined to the choice of paper and the casting of elegant type: the latter are the most splendid classical monuments the world has seen, and serve as models to this day for most of our modern productions of a similar nature. In other words, the Elzevir classics were the work of men skilled in mechanical details: the Aldine classics, of scholars, by whom G-reek and Latin were as easily understood and as deeply studied as their native Italian. Notwith¬ standing this, the productions of the Elzevir Press are at present more in favour with bookworms, and in this instance at least purity of text has had to give way to elegance of workmanship. Elzevir collectors pin their faith to M. Willems’ work, mentioned in the previous chapter, and from this every possible information may be gathered. Of the 1608 different publications of the Press, 1213 of which bear the name or device of the firm which issued them, only one volume is printed in English, the remainder being in Latin, Greek, French, Flemish, German, Italian, and Hebrew. Amateurs who make the Elzevir Press their special study are very careful to see that any volume offered for sale is not “cut down,” and also that the date is a “right” date, or, in other words, that the edition is a good one. To such a nicety has critical inquiry been reduced, that the pecuniary value of any specimen from the Elzevir Press depends on its measurement in millimetres quite as much as on the date of the edition. Anything below 125 millimetres may as a rule be at once thrown in the waste-paper basket, while a book which measures 20 millimetres higher is a joy for ever to its possessor. Considering that there are about 44 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. 25 millimetres to tlie inch, and that a book of good measurement may be worth £100 or more, while if cut down below the fashionable height it would certainly not be worth more than as many shillings, and perhaps not that, it will be seen that an inch of paper may be of the greatest possible importance from a pecuniary point of view, and that poverty sometimes lurks in the binder’s shears. The “ right ” dates of books issued from the Leyden Press begin from 1625, and any work published there between that year and 1655 is capable of turning out a prize. The Amsterdam Press was at its highest repute between the years 1655-80, and these are conse¬ quently the “ right ” dates so far as that Press is concerned. The reader must not, however, run away under the impression that any work bearing a date which seems “ right ” is necessarily so, because it may have passed through several editions, and as a rule it is only the first that has any special value. The marks of the Elzevir Press differed at various periods; the best known—the Sphere—was first used in 1626 by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevir; but theve are several other devices almost equally well-known, such, for example, as the Hermit, Minerva, and the Eagle on a Cippus, with a sheaf of seven arrows in its claw. One of the most beautiful books issued from this Press was the Caesar of 1635, the first and second editions of which are so much alike that but for certain misprints in the first—the right edition—it is impossible to tell the difference between them. The Yirgil of 1636 is another very fine example, while a copy of the rarest work of all, known as the “ Pastissier Franyois,” once sold in Paris for no less than 10,000 francs. The last-named was entirely “ uncut,” and measured 132 millimetres; had it been the fifth of an inch less, 1000 francs would have been an ample price to pay. OLD PRINTERS AND OLD PRESSES. 45 All this seems very like book-madness, and perhaps it is ; but, while the fever lasts, it is well to be acquainted with its peculiarities. There are many of these little Elzevirs here and there; most are worthless, but out of the heap of rubbish a good example is sometimes rescued. In Willems’ “ Les Elzevier ” the reader will find everything he can possibly require, including important items of measurement and all the learning relating to “ right ” dates, head- and tail-pieces, errors, petits et grands formats , and printer’s marks on the titles. For many years collectors have made the Aldine and Elzevir Presses special branches of study, because it has always been possible to form a good collection of really beautiful works, illustrative of either, without any very great expenditure of money or loss of time. This is far from being the case with most of the other early Presses and their productions. In some cases the workmanship is bad, so bad, in fact, as to constitute an eyesore; in others, it would be next to impossible to collect half-a-dozen examples during a lifetime, even if money were of no account. Some of these early-printed books sell for hundreds of pounds each, and occasionally we meet with special examples which bring thousands; it is only when we come to the Aldine, Elzevir, and a few other Presses, such for example as those founded by Sebastian Grypliius, at Lyons, in 1528, and Henri Estienne, of Paris, that a collection worthy the name becomes a matter of possibility. English collectors, however, prefer examples from the national press to all others, and such a demand has arisen for many of these that the prices have become almost prohibitive. It is seldom, therefore, that any but those who can well afford to undertake the formation of a library illustrative of the history of early typo¬ graphy, care to spend their time and money on what, after all, are mere curiosities. 46 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. For the benefit of the reader, I give a list of the more famous English printers, from Caxton to Est. Full particulars concerning each of them and their works will be found in Ames’ “ Typographical Antiquities.” William Caxton (1474), printer at Westminster. Letton and Machlinia (1480), printers in London. Wynkyn de Worde (1491), printer at Westminster. Richard Pynson (1493), printer at Westminster, and the intro¬ ducer of Roman type into this country. Julian Notary (1498), printer at Westminster. William Faques (1499). Richard Fawkes (1509). Peter Treveris (1514), the first printer at Southwark. Richard Copland (1515), a printer dwelling at the sign of “The Rose Garland ’ ’ in Fleet Street. John Rastell (1520), a printer in London. He married the sister of Sir Thomas More. John Skot (1521). Robert Redman (1523), a printer who took Pynson’s house, “The George,” just outside Temple Bar. Robert Wyer (1527), a printer who carried on business “ in the felde besyde Charynge Crosse.” Thomas Berthelet (1530). John Byddell (1533), a printer who carried on business at “ The Sun ” in Fleet Street. Richard Grafton (1537), the king’s printer, who carried on business in partnership with Edward Whitchurche from 1537-41. Edward Whitchurche (1537), who was living in 1560, and is said to have married the widow of Archbishop Cranmer. John Waylande (1537), a printer who carried on business at the sign of the “ Blue Garland ’ ’ in Fleet Street. William Myddylton (1541) succeeded to the business of Robert Redman, which he continued to carry on at the sign of “ The George.” Reynold Wolfe (1542), the king’s printer John Day (1546), a printer who carried on business near Holborn Conduit, and afterwards at Aldersgate. Day was the first to use Saxon characters. William Seres (1546), at one time (until 1550) in partnership with Day. William Copland (1548). Walter Lynne (1548). Richard Jugge (1548). OLD PRINTERS AND OLD PRESSES. 47 Thomas Marshe (1549). John Cawood (1550). Richard Tottel (1553). Hugh Singleton (1553). John Kyngston (1553). Rowland Hall (1559). John Allde (1561). Robert Redbourne (1576). Thomas Est (1592) During the seventeenth century, Presses became very numerous throughout England, but most of the work which issued from them is valued not so much on account of the prestige attaching to the printers’ names as on other grounds. The value of an English-printed book issued before the year 1600 depends in a great measure on the printer: after that date, it is judged more on its merits. An exception to this rule occurs in the case of the Birmingham printer, John Basker- ville, who started business in 1756. At one time examples from his Press were much sought after, on account of their beauty, but of late years popular favour has become diverted into other channels. It is safe to say that if the reader should happen to come across any old book by a printer mentioned above, he should not allow it to leave his hands until he is thoroughly convinced that the price demanded is excessive. CHAPTER VII. The Modern Book-Hunter , and what he Seeks . To be able to appreciate tbe rarity of a book at a glance, argues the possession of great practical know¬ ledge, but still not to the extent many people suppose. The truth is, books are mainly divided into classes, of various degrees of rarity and value; and although, as in other cases, exceptions may and do occur, the general rules are comparatively easy to follow when once they are understood. Most of the difficulties attending the subject are made up of exceptions, and it is these which take such a long time to digest. It is, I think, the same with most pursuits, and especially so with that of book-collecting. To tell the value of a book is probably more difficult still, for as much depends upon general condition as on the state of the market and the degree of estimation in which books of the kind happen to be held for the time being. Having pointed out that condition may exercise a vast influence on the price of any work, we will try to discover what that price ought to be, and also to see in what direction, and in favour of what class, popular taste is directed. The values of some thousands of books in all departments of literature will be given later on, but at present we will confine ourselves to the present state of the English book market, pointing THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 49 out the different classes of books in the order in which they are principally inquired after. 1.—First Editions of Modern English Authors. It is only by a careful comparison of the prices realised at auction that the actual state of the book market can be gauged with any degree of certainty; and on tabulating the sales which have recently taken place, one cannot help being struck with what may be styled the desperate eagerness evinced by dealers to buy up original illustrated editions of famous modern authors. The works of Charles Dickens are especially in favour—to such an extent, indeed, that only a short time ago £22 was cheerfully paid for a copy of “ Sketches by Boz,” in three volumes, 1836-37. # True, this was an unusually fine specimen with several extra plates, but the amount paid shows to what an extent the mania for collecting works of this class has taken hold of those who really control the market. At the same sale a similar sum was bid for the 1837 edition of the “ Pickwick Papers,” while the “ Snob 55 and its con¬ tinuation the “ Gownsman,” in all twenty-eight numbers of the “ Cambridge Magazine,” edited by Thackeray, brought no less than £125. On another occasion Barham’s “Ingoldsby Legends,” 3 volumes com¬ plete, with plates by Cruikshank, Leech, &c., 1840-47, realised £39; and Grimm’s “ German Popular Stories,” 2 vols., 1823-26, as much as £43. Works illustrated by Blake and Bewick belong to this category, as also do the greater number of the so-called sporting books which treat of cock-fighting and other obsolete amuse¬ ments. At all times first editions have been considered preferable to those which follow, because the text, being * The Mackenzie Sale, March 11th, 1889. Lot 613. E 50 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. under the superintendence of the author himself, may fairly be looked upon as purer. This is the rule, though there are many exceptions to it; as, for instance, where two or more editions are published in the author’s lifetime. Collectors of modern books of this class, however, take no notice of any exceptions, but pin their whole faith to the axiom, alleging the reason as an excuse for a lavish expenditure of money,—a reason which, however appropriate in the case of scholarly treatises, has no application to the lighter kinds of literature. To account for the payment of such extravagant prices as those quoted, it is necessary to recognise the existence of minute distinctions, and then to take each variation as being unique. Dickens’s works in the original parts as issued are nearly always worth more than when bound—an example of the multiplication of shadowy and ephemeral differences, and proof positive that the bibliomaniac who turns the kaleidoscope regards his treasures as so many pieces of bric-a-brac , and not as books to be read. Let it be confessed at once that in the case of such authors as Dickens and Thackeray it is the illustrations which constitute the pecuniary value, and the equally rapid sale of works with coloured plates will then be satisfactorily accounted for. Row¬ landson, Aiken, Hablot Browne, Cruikshank, Buss, and Leech, have many admirers—more by far than Dickens or Thackeray, Ainsworth, Pierce Egan, Apperley, or Surtees. This opinion will doubtless fail to commend itself to those who approve of the payment of £'64 for the first edition of Tennyson’s Poems, in 2 volumes, 1842, # or £16 for Shelley’s “ St. Irvyne,” in the original boards * The Thompson Sale, May 23rd, 1887. Lot 1148. THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 51 as issued in 1811,* and £31 for the “ Adonais ”f; but it must be remembered that these instances are excep¬ tional, the authors being fashionable, the former in his capacity of reigning Poet Laureate, and the latter as the idol of the Shelley Society, which sees merit in such performances as “ A proposal for putting reform to the vote ” and the “ Epipsychidion.” Sir Walter Scott’s works in the original, whether the text be pure or the reverse, are worth only a few shillings each, while Byron goes begging at a slightly higher figure. None of these books are illustrated, and the reason for preferring one author to the other must have its foundation in something more than a desire for textual analysis. 2.—Works Relating to America. Next to the early editions of modern English authors must be placed those relating to the American continent, provided they date from the sixteenth, seventeenth, and occasionally also the eighteenth centuries. The price paid for any stray work of this kind which may be submitted for public competition is sufficiently noteworthy to deserve more than a passing remark. Fortunately, or otherwise, such books have nearly all been absorbed by the public libraries, whence of course they never emerge, and this doubtless is sufficient in itself to account for the desire to obtain the few that remain for the American institutions, regardless of cost. A “ Brief Description of the Province of Carolina,” published in 1666, realised £46 at the Martin Sale, and 35 folio pages of the “ Charters and Laws of the City of New York,” 1817, no less than £79; prices which were subsequently eclipsed by a bid of £555 for 12 small quarto tracts bound in one volume. These * The Harefield Sale, April 22nd, 1887. Lot 244. t The Martin Sale, March 19th, 1888. Lot 147. E 2 LIBRARY 52 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. pieces included Brereton’s “ Relation of the Discoverie of the North Part of Virginia,” 1602; Hamor’s “ True Discourse of the present Estate of Virginia,” 1615; and Captain Smith’s “New England Trials and present Estate,” 1622. # Bare tracts of this nature are looked upon as throwing light on the earliest history of the American nation, and are prized accordingly. Out of place in a private library, they assume a unique position in the archives of a state, and their proper resting- place is undoubtedly the country to which they imme¬ diately refer. 3.—Works Relating to Scotland. Scotland would be a nonentity if unpatriotic, and so deep is the quality of patriotism infused into the national character, that it displays itself more than is usually the case in its literature. A representative Scottish library is the very antithesis of an English one. The latter, if of real importance, comprises books on a variety of subjects and gathered from all quarters of the globe. The former is usually confined to genealogical treatises and books either printed in Scotland or written Scotsmen, as though the owner cared but little for anything save his pedigree and his country. Not being so rare as the early American-printed works, these books are at present within the reach of a moderate purse; but when found, they should be retained, for in a few years the demand will so far exceed the supply that they are almost certain to occupy a position in which money will be of but little account. The first edition of Burns’s Poems, Kilmarnock, 1786, is esteemed because it is a contemporary edition of the works of Scotland’s greatest poet, and not on account of its being an early-printed work. The price * The Wimpole Sale, June 29th, 1888. Lots 42 and 43. THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 53 (£111) paid for a by no means immaculate specimen at a famous sale* must convince the most sceptical that, although the reason of the outlay may be different, it will not be long before other and at present less famous books of a similar description sell for 'large amounts also. 4.—Early-printed Books. Specimens of typography emanating from the presses of Caxton, Wynkyn de Worde, and other early English printers, have always been treated as the aristocracy of the bookshelf, but their extreme rarity and consequent cost places them beyond the reach of all but the few. The ordinary collector is glad to be able to secure a single authentic leaf from the press of Caxton, and stories are told of numerous “ finds,” which on investiga¬ tion have turned out to be such only in the imagination of the discoverer. The passion for collecting needs no more conspicuous example than that of the old and experienced book-hunter seeking a corona for his library, which in all probability he will look for in vain. As in the case of the American books, the public libraries have monopolised nearly all the labours of the old printers, though tales, more or less true, are occasionally narrated in the press of lucky discoveries in out-of- the-way villages, which spur hope and excite cupidity. The records of recent sales show that English fifteenth- century works are rising in the market, and, since they become more difficult to meet with every day, they will doubtless continue to advance in price and be sought after more eagerly still as time goes on. A question is sometimes raised whether Caxton was really the first English printer, and whether Oxford should not take the place of Westminster. * The Gibson Craig Sale, second portion, March, 1888. Lot 893. 54 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. 5.—Early Editions of Seventeenth-century Authors. Next in the list come the early editions of old English authors of the sixteenth and more particularly of the seventeenth centuries. Not long ago it was the fashion to collect the works of such dramatists as Greene, Marlowe, Fletcher, Ben Jonson, Ford, Massinger, and last, though foremost among them all, Shakespeare himself. The works of the great dramatist have been reprinted over and over again, with notes, and occasionally emendations of the text, but none of these versions have maintained either their reputation or pecuniary position, even Boy dell’s sumptuous edition in 9 folio volumes having been reduced in value to some £'6 or £7, while many of the less taking though perhaps more scholarly editions are almost given away daily. On the other hand, the first four folios, published, it may be remembered, in 1623, 1632, 1664, and 1685 respectively, bring large sums,' while the original quartos are so rare as hardly ever to be seen in the market. If we except the Perkins Sale in July, 1889, the Daniel Sale, which took place at Sotheby’s in 1864, was the last occasion on which Shakespeare originals were disposed of in any quantity; and 682 guineas for a splendid copy of the first folio, 330 guineas for the first quarto of the “ Merry Wives,” 1602, and a similar amount for the first quarto of “ Love’s Labour Lost,” 1598, though they were thought extreme amounts at the time, are probably less than the books would bring if they were put up at public auction to-day. Among other old books in this class may be specially mentioned the first edition of Walton’s “Compleat Angler,” 1653, which in company with the second part by Cotton, published in 1676, brought £195 at the Gibson Craig Sale in July, 1887. THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 55 Early editions of these old English authors occupy a most curious position. Some are exceedingly valuable, while others are quite the reverse; a distinction which is by no means due to an occasional frontispiece by Faithorne, Elstracke, or Marshall. If a guess might be hazarded as to the principle of selection, it would be that the value of the original is in exact proportion to the degree of estimation in which the author is held at the present time. A good illustration of this is Burton’s “Anatomy of Melancholy,” which, in spite of its numerous editions, was practically an unknown book until Dr. Johnson rescued it from the grave of oblivion. This work has increased in value as the author’s fame has become universal, and a perfect copy of the original edition of 1621 cannot be got for much less than £25. Yet another example, that of the works of Massinger. His original quartos, among which “ The Emperor of the East ” and the “ Maid of Honour ” take the highest rank, can frequently be procured for thirty shillings each, and some may consider either of them dear even at that price. Massinger’s reputation has distinctly declined all through the century, and the pecuniary value of his works has fallen in exactly the same degree. Experienced amateurs who purchase with some regard to the future are as a rule extremely cautious when dealing with this particular branch of literature. There is none which is liable to so many fluctuations. An author of whom little is known may at any moment be raised from his obscurity, either by a passing reference on the part of some great living authority, or by an accidental circumstance, and as he advances in popular favour we may be sure that a better than he will recede for the time being. For this reason, probably, and also on account of the very extensive nature of the subject, collectors of old English 56 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. "books have for many years past been accustomed to devote their attention to a few authors, and seek to accumulate as complete a set of editions of each as time and opportunity will allow. .6.—Old Bibles. The system just mentioned, which has a probability of ultimate success in its favour, has been extended to other branches, notably to the collection of Bibles, whether English or foreign, where the great prize to be sighed for is of course the so-called “ Mazarin Bible,” printed by Gutenburg and Fust at Mayence, somewhere between the years 1450-55, and a copy of which, at the Crawford Sale in 1887, sold for £2650—a considerably less sum, however, than has been obtained for a perfect copy elsewhere. This Bible is printed in Latin, but without any date—a method of identification which is first observable in Fust and Schoiffer’s Bible of 1462, itself an extremely rare volume, which on one occasion brought more than £1000 by auction. Exceptions such as the above apart, it is not the Latin but the English Bibles which command the most money in this country. At the head of these stands Coverdale’s Translation, issued on October 5th, 1535, and recognised as being the first complete Bible printed in the English language. No perfect copy is known to be in existence, but one with six of the preliminary leaves beautifulty fac-similed was disposed of at the Crawford Sale for £226; while another specimen, or rather a fragment, brought £72 at the Hirst Sale in December, 1887. With this famous Bible is associated the 8vo edition of Tyn- dale’s New Testament of 1525-26, but only two imperfect specimens are known to exist. The Great, or Cranmer’s Bible, of which, during the years 1539, 1540, and 1541, there were seven distinct editions, reprinted throughout, but so closely resembling THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 57 each other that of five of them the leaves of each begin and end alike, is another famous book, and, what is some¬ what extraordinary, there is little difference in the com¬ mercial value and bibliographical interest of the seven volumes. Any one of them, complete, genuine, and in good condition, is an ornament to any library, public or private. Perfect copies, indeed, are much rarer than is generally supposed. Mr. Lea Wilson, a most indefatigable collector of Bibles, was so extremely fortunate as to possess a set, every book being perfect or nearly so. It was a labour of years to complete, but his efforts were crowned with success, and six of these magnificent volumes (all but the edition of 1539, a perfect copy of which was already in the library) Mr. Panizzi added, after Mr. Wilson’s death, to the British Museum collection, at the moderate price of £80 each. The present value would be greatly in excess of that amount. The labours of Mathew (the nom-de-plume of John Rogers, the first martyr under Queen Mary), Tavener, Whittingham, Tyndale, and other pioneer translators, are scanned with the closest attention by those who make a special study of the verbal distinctions which exist in the texts; while it is worthy of mention as proof, if any indeed be needed, of the interest manifested in the old editions and versions of the Holy Scriptures generally, that at the Crawford Sale forty-three different Bibles sold for no less a sum than £6149. On the death of Mr. Francis Fry, the great authority on this branch of bibliography, his mantle aptly fell on the shoulders of Mr. J. R. Dore, of Huddersfield, who recently issued a second edition of his “ Old Bibles ”—a work second to none in painstaking and scholarly research. 7.—Works on Natural History. Natural history is essentially a sectional study, and private libraries in which books on the subject form the 58 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. main feature, will be found to be composed almost entirely of works relating to some distinct branch, outside which the founder has not cared to travel. Many of the plates belonging to these volumes are coloured, and when this is the case competition is always strongly excited, and high prices are the rule, not the exception. Copies with plain plates, on the contrary, seem to be decreasing in value, for reasons that will readily be understood by those who are compelled to consult them for purposes of reference or comparison. In this class Gould’s ornithological works undoubtedly take the lead, though even these are frequently reduced from their original published price. Thus, the “ Birds of Great Britain,” complete in 25 parts, with 367 coloured plates, imperial folio, was published at £78 15s., while the average auction value is but a little over £50. The market is, however, firm at that figure, and, all things considered, it is probable that these splendid monuments of industry and technical skill will ere long take a higher pecuniary position. Similarly, Gray’s “ Genera of Birds,” 3 vols., 1844-49, a very scarce and beautiful work, may be con¬ sidered cheap at £25, while the original edition of Audubon’s “ Birds of America,” in 4 volumes, elephant folio, 1826-38, is perhaps the most expensive work of the class extant, as much as £315 having been paid quite recently for a perfect copy. These prices are paid readily enough by lovers of natural history, who believe that if they purchase judiciously and at current rates they will have no occasion to regret the outlay. Every department of zoology has its representative works, the market values of which are universally known, and fixed within narrow boundaries. Bargains are almost impossible, since the very appearance of these books precludes any material advantage being taken either on the part of the vendor or the purchaser; and, as is well known, the enthusiastic book-hunter frequently boasts of THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 59 his bargains as much as, or more than, he does of the contents of his shelves. 8.—Antiquarian Works. Antiquarian, genealogical, and heraldic works appear to be quite stationary in the market at prices which have not varied to any extent during the past five or six years. The demand for them is limited, except in Scotland, where, as previously stated, genealogical treatises, provided they relate to local families, are among the most favoured productions of the press. 9.—Art Books. We are now brought face to face with the numerous family of “ art books,” by which is meant volumes published within the last decade, and which derive their interest primarily from the plates with which they are embellished. These consist chiefly of reprints, and as an investment are not to be recommended. It is true that the works of Buskin and Hamerton, whether in the original or not, are eagerly purchased, but they hardly coincide with the definition, for the letterpress is autho¬ ritative and the chief inducement held out to the pur¬ chaser. The ordinary commonplace art book has fallen upon evil days, and the device of strictly limiting the issue to a certain number of copies at a high price after obtaining promises of subscriptions, though it may stimulate the sale, cannot preserve the original value; for in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred, a book pub¬ lished under these conditions is placed in a declining market from the first day of its appearance. 10.—Classical Books. But if art books are at a discount, what can be said of the classics ? Most people can remember the second- 60 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. hand classical booksellers of a few years ago, who will now be sought for in vain. Old classics of the first water, those rare specimens of ancient typography of which we have spoken, still have a ready sale, but all else are daily disposed of at lamentable prices, which often do not reach even the cost of binding. The present generation of book- lovers has set an example of self-denial in this respect which would undoubtedly have seemed strange to the generation of twenty or even fifteen years ago. Perhaps Homer and Plato may yet again contend with Yirgil and Ovid for so little as a smile from some appreciative patron yet unborn, but at present they lie neglected by all save the student, and are disposed of in “ parcels ” in company with theological treatises and volumes of sermons, which being, as a rule, unsaleable except as waste-paper, are thus unceremoniously bundled out of sight. On a review of the present state of the English book market, it is satisfactory to find that literary merit is * after all in no danger of being ignored. In every instance in which a book is pronounced valuable, it will also be found that it contains something worth reading. There are exceptions even to this proposition, and other con¬ siderations have to be taken into account, but the rule as it stands may safely be made the basis of every cal¬ culation. Mere rarity is not enough ipso facto to create value; scarcity can never compensate for a lack of material, nor the possession of a “ tall ” copy, with uncut edges or in the original parts, supply the place of in¬ telligence in the text. Every book which aspires to the distinction of emptying a pocket, must be able truthfully to exclaim with Horace: Cumque ego prceponam multos mihi; non minor illis Dicor: et in toto plurimns orbe legor. I am much read throughout the world. SECTION II. tHe value of books. CHAPTEK VIII. Works on Natural History. • The term “Natural History,” in its most extended sense, may be defined as the description of whatever is created; but it is not unfrequently limited to an account of organic life and its immediate connections, thus becoming synonymous with “ Biology,” the main divisions of which are Zoology and Botany. Books which relate to Natural History subjects have to be very carefully examined before their value can be even approximately ascertained. Unless furnished with plates they are practically useless, and unless these plates are accurately and scientifically coloured they are sure to be misleading. The value of any book of this class largely depends, therefore, upon the colouring of the plates. If well coloured the value is rising at the present time, but if altogether uncoloured it is in many cases difficult to dispose of the works at all, and it may be said that such undesirable specimens are losing what little hold they ever had on the market. There are, of course, exceptions even to this rule, but they are far from numerous, and seldom of much importance. Following the restricted definition of the term “ Natural History ” given above, the works catalogued under this heading comprise a selection of those relating to the Mammalia and General Zoology, Ornithology, Ichthyology, Entomology, Anthropology, the Beptilia, Concliology, the 62 THE LIBRARY MANUAL.

Books of this class deal with many, and in some instances all, of the sciences already enumerated; and under these circumstances we have thought it better to arrange them under a separate heading, rather than under any one of the classes of subjects upon which they treat. There have from time to time been fitted out, either at the public expense or privately, scientific expeditions to different countries, under the charge of scientists of the highest repute, assisted by others of experience in their own departments; and an account of the various expeditions has, in many cases, been embodied in a suitable publication. We conse¬ quently append a list of works describing these scientific voyages, premising that each of the works referred to contains chapters or sections exclusively devoted to one particular branch of scientific study, so that in the compass of a single publication the reader will often find a store of valuable learning relating to a number of subjects which have already been referred to in the preceding pages. Astrolabe, Voyage of the. A perfect set of these Voyages con¬ sists of 12 vols., royal 8vo; 5 vols., impl. folio, and 2 other volumes.

Works on Occult Philosophy. Of late years considerable interest seems to have been manifested in works on this subject, which under one title or another is continually being introduced to the public notice. All books, or at least such of them as have the advantage of antiquity in their favour, are eagerly bought up, and are now so difficult to obtain that they very seldom make their appearance in the market at all. When they do, it is usually at a high price, which seems indeed to be steadily increasing as time goes on. A very extensive list of old books upon magic and witchcraft will be found in Scribner’s Biblio¬ theca Diabolica (New York, 1874), and a description of the newly published ones in the catalogues of George Redway, the publisher. To these the reader is referred for any further information he may require. A list of works on spiritualism may be obtained of Mr. Burn, Southampton Row.

Works on Law and General Science. To give a list of works upon Law would answer no practical purpose, since few people, save those whose business it is to study the subject, would think of spending their money in the collection of works relating to it. Still, if only for the purpose of making the list as complete as possible, it may be worth while to enumerate some of the standard treatises. It is often said that every man should know something of the law, which he assists in making, and by which he is governed and to which he has to conform; and by way of gaining this knowledge many people purchase and sometimes, read works of general application embracing every phase of the law, and professing to treat it “popularly.” A favourite work is “ Every Man’s own Lawyer,” pub¬ lished at the suggestive price of 6s. 8d., and in the hands of a skilled lawyer the book is not without its merits. To anyone else, however, it might be a source of mischief, for it is impossible to compress into an 8vo volume of whatever thickness even a tithe of the sub¬ jects upon which it is necessary to treat. The consequence is that the information afforded is so meagre that a case exactly, or even nearly, in point is seldom to be met with. The reader will probably find something which he considers to be analogous; but as he knows LAW. 119 nothing of the reasons which prompt any particular assertion, it is not surprising that the analogy should frequently fail when brought to a practical test. Slater’s “ Guide to the Legal Profession ” (London: L. Upcott Gill, price 7s. 6d.) forms a practical treatise on the various methods of entering either of its branches, and gives a course of study for each of the examinations. It is a complete guide to every department of Legal preparation, and is without doubt the best and most comprehensive work on the subject. Anyone who seeks to study Law, or any particular branch of it, must commence at the beginning, and the only available method of doing this is to obtain a firm grasp of the reasons which prompt every assertion made. A man of average intelligence will soon draw fair de¬ ductions from the collected premises, and, if he is possessed of property, will at any rate avoid many difficulties that he might otherwise have become in¬ volved in. The works given below are standard works usually read by beginners, and it must be observed that the latest editions only should be purchased, and for these, of course, the published prices (less discount) will have to be paid. These prices are affixed. Law. The Law of Real Property, that is, the law relating to land, and the different kinds of tenures : Williams on the “ Law of Real Property”; .£1 Is. The Law of Personal Property, that is, the law relating to goods and chattels : Williams on the “ Law of Personal Property”; .£1 Is. The Law of Contracts, or the law which governs agreements respecting property of any kind, popularly called “ Commercial Law” : Indermaur’s “ Principles of the Common Law ” ; <£1. The Law of Torts, or the law relating to private injuries, such as assault, slander, libel, false imprisonment, &c.: Under¬ hill on “ Torts ” ; 9s. See also Indermaur, supra . 120 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Equity, or the law as administered by the Courts of Chancery: Snell’s “ Equity ” ; «£1 5s. Criminal Law : Oke’s “ Magisterial Synopsis ” ; <£3 3s. The Law Relating 1 to Landlord and Tenant: 1. Redman and Lyon on the “ Law of Landlord and Tenant ” ; 10s. 6d. 2. Woodfall’s “ Landlord and Tenant”; <£1 18s. There are, of course, many other branches of law and numberless works on practice continually being pub. lished and re-issued; but, so far as the former are concerned, it will be found for the most part that they are sufficiently treated of in the books already mentioned, while works relating to practice are of no interest, except in the hands of persons engaged in following the regular routine of the Courts. As a rule, old law books are of no value; but this does not apply to the “ Reports,” collections of which form part of every law library. Some of these are both scarce and valuable, though purchasers are few and far between. In conclusion, the best advice that can be given to dabblers in law is to study it as every other difficult science is studied, by a logical drawing of conclusions from premises, and this can only be done after a careful perusal of standard works on the subject. To know how to avoid an error is better than to remedy one, however scientifically the latter process may be accom¬ plished, and the man who has this knowledge is the better lawyer. General Science.

General Works on the Fine Arts. The Pine Arts Generally. An “ Art Book ” is one which depends for its repu¬ tation upon the quality of its plates, combined some¬ times, though not always, with excellence in the text. As a rule there has been a fall in the value of books of this kind, the majority of which are only worth a small proportion of what they would have sold for some few years ago. To this proportion, however, there are many exceptions, chief among which are the works of Blake, Ruskin, and Hamerton, as well as those containing plates of first-rate quality after such masters as Hogarth, Turner, and Stothard. The value of art books depends mainly upon the character and quality of the plates with which they are embellished, and prices rule high or low according to circumstances. A^imourt (Seroux d’), History of Art by its Monuments , 3 vols. in 1, royal folio, London, 1847 ; £1 5s. An English edition of the French work, divided as follows: Architecture, 73 plates; Sculpture, 51 plates; Paintings, 204 plates. The French edition was published in Paris, 1823, in 6 vols., impl. folio; about <£3 (cf. ex.).

Baillie (Capt.), The Engraved Works of, after Paintings and Drawings by the Greatest Masters, 2 vols. in 1, atlas folio, 1771. This work was published at <£30 11s.

Original works by this visionary artist are exceedingly rare, and becoming more so each year. It is impossible to give the value of any copy without seeing it, as prices vary according to the degree of perfection attained in the printing off or colouring. If this is high class, the price speedily approaches <£50, and very often greatly exceeds it. A number of facsimile reprints were issued by Muir between the years 1884-86. These, for the most part, are worth <£5 each, and, like the originals, are becoming more valuable every day. Only 50 copies were issued of each. - Poetical Sketches, by W. B., 70 pages, 8vo, 1783; <£48 (mor. ex., uncut). - Songs of Experience, 17 plates, small 8vo, 1794; £46 (mor. ex.). - Songs of Innocence, 2 vols., 8vo, 1789; £41 (mor.).

The whole of G-ilpin’s works, including the first editions, appear to be declining in value.

At the same time, a complete uniform set would doubtless bring proportionately more.

Works relating to antiquarian subjects have sold for some time at prices which seem to vary but little. Books on numismatology, ancient monuments, brasses, heraldry, and similar subjects, are frequently furnished with coloured illustrations. Where the contrary proves to be the case, the value may confidently be expected to decline. When, however, the plates are coloured, it should remain stationary for some time to come. The exceptions to this rule are few, and occur almost entirely in connection with very old works, which are valued primarily as examples of early printing. These are, of course, very highly prized whatever the state of the woodcuts may be, or even if there are no illustrations at all. In heraldic books it is customary to announce the proper armorial colourings in the printed description of the quarterings, and works of this class are not often emblazoned. When they are, however, the value is correspondingly increased. Works on archaeology and general antiquities, referring chiefly to architectural remains, cathedral antiquities, monastic surveys, and the like, are sometimes illustrated and sometimes not. In either event the value appears to be stationary. Antiquarians constitute a limited class, 154 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. and the literature they affect is seldom seen outside their own library walls, the London sale-rooms, or the shops of the large booksellers.

The first edition of the Bible in any language was printed in Latin at Mayence, by Gutenberg and Fust, about the year 1450. This is the famous Mazarin Bible, and the earliest book printed with movable metal types by the inventors of printing. Sir John Thorold’s copy sold for £3900, and the Earl of Crawford’s for £2650. The Bible takes its name from the fact that the first copy was accidentally discovered by Debure in the library of Cardinal Mazarin. It is printed in double columns, ENGLISH VERSIONS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. 199 without title, pagination, or signature ; and for firmness of paper, brightness of ink, and exact uniformity of impression, has never been surpassed—even if it has been equalled—by any other work, ancient or modern.

GENERAL WORKS. 287 Shakespeare (William). Nearly all Shakespeare’s works were published in a separate form during his lifetime, and almost always in small quarto. All, without exception, have become so excessively rare as to be practically unprocurable, and for their size these early quartos are undoubtedly the most expensive books in the world. The last occasion on which any number appeared at one time in the auction-room was at the Perkins sale, in July, 1889, when a slightly imperfect copy of “Romeo and Juliet,” 1st ed., 1599, 4to, realised <£164, and “ The Second Part of Henrie the Fourth,” 1st ed., 1600, 4to, <£225. Such prices as these are by no means excessive; on the contrary, really first-rate copies of some of the plays would sell for at least as much again. In the absence of originals, the amateur can turn to the collection of lithographic facsimiles of the early quarto editions of the separate works of Shakespeare, including every known edition of all the plays which were issued during the lifetime of the dramatist. The work was carried out by E. W. Ashbie, under the superintendence of J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps. Only fifty sets were printed, of which nineteen were destroyed by the editor, and three sets afterwards destroyed by fire. The collection is complete in 48 vols., which were printed for private circulation during the years 1866-71. Unfortu¬ nately the books are scarce, <£50 and more being asked for a complete set. Another and cheaper series was issued under the superintendence of Dr. F. J. Furnivall by W. Griggs and C. Pretorius, in 1881-88. This set is complete in 41 vols., 4to, and when bound, say in half morocco, sells by auction for about <£12 10s. Similarly the first folio of Shakespeare’s complete works, printed by Isaac Jaggard and Ed. Blount in 1623, brings high and ever-increasing sums, as much as <£300 or <£400 being the value of an average copy. Some specimens showing large measurements are, however, worth considerably more. The following are recent auction prices obtained for copies of the first four folios of Shakespeare’s works: ' 1623, First Folio; <£415 (mor. title, and Ben Jonson’s verses mounted), <£200 (mor. ex., title mounted, verses from second folio, 12in. by 8in.). This edition was facsimiled in 1807, folio, <£2 4s. (cf.); also by Lionel Booth in 1864, folio, <£1 10s. (large paper, hf. cf.) ; by Day and Son, in photo-lithography, 1866, folio, <£4 7s. 6d. (cf. ex.) ; and by Longmans, folio, <£4 12s. (russ. ex.). 1632, Second Folio; <£47 (large copy, but wormed), <£21 10s. (verses and some leaves, backed). 1664, Third Folio; <£52 (mor. ex., one leaf defective), <£100 (perfect). Many copies were destroyed in the Great Fire. The seven spurious plays are omitted for the first time. 288 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Shakespeare (William). 1685, Fourth Folio ; <£25 10s. (russ. ex., several leaves defective), £14 (two leaves repaired). Among 1 the large number of editions of Shakespeare’s works which have been and are continually being pub¬ lished, the following are noticeable. It must be under¬ stood that where no prices are affixed, no copy of the par¬ ticular edition has sold by auction during the last four years for as large a sum as £1. As a rule the eighteenth- century copies of Shakespeare’s works are not of much value unle-s very well bound in calf or morocco. Editions in 12mo or 18mo very seldom sell by auction for more than 6d. or 8d. per volume all round, unless bound as aforesaid. 1709, 7 vols., 8vo, plates, Eowe; £6 12s. (mor. ex.), £1 12s.

Prior to these collected editions, Southey’s poetical and other works had all, or nearly all, been published uniformly in fcap. 8vo, at long intervals. These single pub¬ lications do not as a rule sell well, e.g .: Omniana, 2 vols., 1812; Translation of Don M. Alvarez Espriella’s Letters from England, 3 vols., 1807; Amadis of Gaul, 4 vols., 1803; Palmerin of England, 4 vols., 1807; in all 13 vols., 8vo, =£3 10s. (cf. ex., by Bedford). Spectator (The). This periodical, as also the Tatler and Guardian, has frequently been reprinted, and as a general rule these reprints are of very small value. Most are found in six or seven small 8vo volumes, bound in inferior calf, the market value of which seldom exceeds a few pence per volume all round. The following editions are, however, of more im¬ portance : The Spectator, 8 vols., 8vo, 1747; Tatler, 4 vols., 8vo, 1713; Guardian, 2 vols., 8vo, 1747; together 14 vols., £1 Is. (cf.).

This celebrated poet and courtier died in 1642 at the early age of thirty-three, and it was not until 1646 that the “ Eragmenta Aurea,” being “ a collection of all his Incomparable Peeces,” was published by a friend to perpetuate his memory. This first edition of 1646, 8vo, with portrait by Marshall, is rare, copies having recently sold by auction for <£7 10s. (mor.), .£11 (mor. ex., by Bedford), <£4 (cf.). A second edition of the “ Fragmenta Aurea ” saw the light in 1648, 8vo, and contains the portrait by Marshall. This edition is also scarce; <£5 10s. (cf.). The first collected edition of the whole of Sir John Suckling’s poems and plays was published in 1696, and there are many later editions : 1696, first collected edition, portrait, 8vo; £1 2s.

The poetical works of Algernon Charles Swinburne are, if original issues, getting more valuable every year; but the market is so unsettled, that it is practically impossible to fix a definite selling price for any one of them. Copies of all the works previously mentioned have sold recently for less than £1 each; and, in many instances, they were uncut and in good condition. There can be little doubt that in the course of a few years the value of original editions of Swinburne’s works will have greatly increased. Second and subsequent editions are of comparatively little importance, though many of these are by no means easy to procure. Sydney (Sir P.). See Sidney (Sir P.). Syntax (Tours of Dr.).

Early copies of any of the works of this poet are valuable, especially when uncut. The prices quoted above will give a very fair idea of the amounts usually realised at auction for copies slightly cut down, but otherwise in sound condition. Tennyson (Alfred, Lord). As in the case of Swinburne’s poems, the works of this author are very unstable in the market. They are, however, undoubtedly rising in price, and should shortly become of much greater value than they GENERAL WORKS. 305 are at present. It is worthy of note that the following 1 first editions, though well bound by Riviere, brought less than £1 each in March 1889 : Maud and other Poems, 1855; Idylls of the King , 1859; Enoch Arden, 1864; The Holy Grail, 1870; Gareth and Lynette, 1872; and Harold , 1877. On another and more recent occasion (August, 1890) seven poems, bound up in 2 vols. (cl.), brought £1 10s. These pieces comprised those previously mentioned, and in addition In Memoriam , and were all second or subsequent editions. From this and other evidence it appears that the above prices are usually given for works of the description mentioned, though occasionally they will bring considerably more. Some pieces again are exceedingly rare, so that each example has to be judged on its merits. The following analysis of recent sales by auction represents the state of the market as it is at present (September, 1891). Tennyson (Alfred, Lord), Enoch Ard^n, 1866, 8vo, illustrated by Arthur Hughes; £1 10s. (as issued). This edition is more valuable than the original issue of 1864, doubtless on account of the plates. -- Idylls of the King , 1868, folio, engravings after Dore; £1 16s. (as issued), £2 12s. (hf. mor., large paper). More valuable than the original issue of 1859. - In Memoriam , 1st ed., 1850, 8vo; <£5 10s. (mor. ex., uncut), £4 (original cl., uncut). - Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington , 1st ed., 1852, 8vo ; £2 5s. (mor. ex., uncut). - The Window; or, the Loves of the Wrens , Canford Manor, 1867, 4to, privately printed ; £36 (mor. ex., uncut), <£25 (as issued). There is a reprint of this work, worth from 17s. 6d. to £1. - The Princess: A Medley, 1st ed., 1847, 8vo; <£2 2s. (mor. ex., uncut), <£1 14s. (cf. ex., by Riviere). - Timbuctoo : A Poem which obtained the Chancellor’s Medal at the Cambridge Commencement MDCCCXXIX., 1829, 8vo; <£5 5s. (mor. ex.), £4 (original blue wrapper). - The Victim, view of Canford Manor, 1867, 4to, privately printed; <£32 (hf. mor., uncut). The foregoing are the only examples of Tennyson’s single works which have realised more than <£1 each in the open market during the last four years. For some of the edi¬ tions of his collected works, however, the demand is much greater; e.g.: 1827, 8vo, Poems by Two Brothers (Alfred and Charles Tennyson); <£11 10s. (original cl.), £13 10s.

Topographical works liave been slowly but steadily increasing in value of late years, though the majority have not yet attained the position they occupied twenty- five or thirty years ago. Prices were then considerably higher than they are now, and more interest seems to have been taken in works of this class. The larger and more expensive works (nearly all in folio or large quarto) always commanded a ready sale at prices which do not seem to have differed to any great extent from those which are obtainable now, but the inferior octavo and lesser-sized volumes encountered at one time a period of great depression, from the effects of which they have not yet entirely recovered. Whether they will eventually do so or not is a question which is perhaps incapable of a definite answer one way or the other; the market at present shows a distinct upward tendency, and this is all that can be asserted with any degree of truth. For facility of reference, the works enumerated in this chapter have been arranged under the counties to which they refer. This, indeed, is the plan usually adopted by most cataloguers, who have found it advisable to supply a double index wherever possible. The arrangement of the following works is based (by 318 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. permission) chiefly on the very comprehensive and valu¬ able catalogues of Mr. Henry Gray, topographical and antiquarian bookseller, of 47, Leicester Square, London. It is necessary to state, however, that the catalogues are not given in their entirety, and that where books are added auction values are given in every instance, accompanied by a notification to that effect. On the other hand, a large number of works have been cut out on various grounds, so that although Mr. Gray’s catalogues are taken as the foundation of the compilation, it will readily be understood that the following list does not adequately represent the extent or magnitude of his stock.

Collections. The works of the ancient English historians, though often exceedingly scarce in the original, have nearly all been reprinted in “ Collections.” The earliest edition of these fasciculi was published in London in 1574, in folio, under the patronage of Archbishop Parker. It is a handsome book, not of common occurrence, and contains the “ Historia Brevis ” and 44 Ypodigma Heustrige ” of Thomas de Walsingham, together with Asser’s 44 Life of Alfred the Great.” The next collection was edited and printed by Com- melin, at Heidelberg, in folio, 1587. Another title-page is sometimes found, dated from Lyons. In each case the work is entitled 44 Berum Britannicarum, Scriptores Vetustiores ac precipui,” and contains the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth and the abridgment by Ponticus Virunnius, Gildas, Bede, William of Hewbury, and Froissart; 8s. (hf. cf.). In a few years followed Sir Henry Savile’s collection, first published in London, 1596, and afterwards at Frank¬ fort in 1601, folio. The title runs 44 Berum Anglicarum Scriptores post Bedam precipui,” and the work contains the historical writings of William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntingdon, Boger Hoveden, iEtlielwerde, and Abbot CHRONICLES. 375 Ingulph of Croyland. This collection is an important one, and was edited with great care. In 1603, the famous Camden, the author of the “Britannia,” published his “Anglica, Normannica, Hibernica, Cambrica, a veteribus Scripta,” containing Asser’s “ Life of Alfred,” the anonymous treatise on the Life of William the Conqueror, the two works of Thomas de Walsingham, previously mentioned, Thomas de la Moor’s “ Edward II.,” and three treatises by Giraldus. The reputation of this work corresponds with the well- known talents of the editor. This work of Camden’s was followed by a collection edited by Sir Roger Twysden, in 2 vols., folio, 1652, with a preface by Selden. The fasciculus contains, inter alia , the Chronicles of Henry Knyghton, William Thorn, Thomas Stubbs the Dominican, Ailred, Abbot of Rievaulx, and John Brompton. This edition is exceedingly accurate, though the authors which it contains are in themselves of no great repute; £1 10s. (cf. gt., by Clarke). In 1684 G. Fulman published, in folio, as a continuation of the former work, the “ Rerum Anglicarum, Scriptorum Yeterum,” containing the “ Historia ” of Ingulph and its two continuations, the “ Chronica de Mailros ” and the “Annales Burtonenses.” The editor of this work died soon after its publication, and the remaining two volumes of the series (numbered 1 and 2 respectively) were edited by Dr. Gale, of Oxford, 1687-1691, folio. The authors reprinted number no less than twenty, and though the work abounds in inaccuracies, it was at one time valuable, as being the most comprehensive that had hitherto been published; £3 10s. (the three volumes, mor. ex., by Bedford, fine copy). In 1692 Henry Wharton published his multifarious work, in 2 vols., folio, entitled “ Anglia Sacra, sive Collectio Historiarum de Archiepiscopis et Episcopis Anglia)”; £1 4s. (cf.), £1 2s. (cf.). 376 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. In 1724 J. Sparke, of London, published the “ Historia3 Anglicanse, Scriptores varii,” and-in 1757 Charles Bertram issued the smallest collection extant, at Copenhagen. Baron Maseres published in 1783 and 1807 a small collection, in 4to, of works relative to English affairs near the time of the Conquest, with notes in English. The History of the Normans is, however, more amply illustrated by a collection of their early historians, pub¬ lished at Paris, in folio, by M. Du Chesne, 1619, under the title of “ Historise Normannorum Scriptores Antiqui”; £2 (mor. ex., g. e.). To come to more recent times, we find a collection of the “ Chronicles of England,” edited by Johnes, in 28 vols., royal 4to, 1803-15. This comprises the works of Froissart and Monstrelet, Holinshed, Grafton, Robert of Gloucester, Peter Langtoft, Fuller, Joinville, Halle, Hardyng, Fabyan, William of Malmesbury, Arnold, and Rastell. Next comes the “Chronicles of England, Scotland, Ireland, &c.,” edited by Douce, Sir H. Ellis, and others, 23 vols., 4to, 1807-12. This valuable series includes the works of Arnold, Fabyan, Froissart, Grafton, Halle, Hardyng, Holinshed, Monstrelet, Rastell, and Joinville; £21 (russ. ex., by Bedford, 23 vols. in 12), £14 (russ. gt., uniform). In 1838-56 a collection of the Chronicles was printed under the auspices of the English Historical Society. A complete set consists of 29 vols. (usually found in 24), 8vo; £6 15s. (cl., uncut, large paper, complete set). A very good collection, so far as it goes, for only one volume was published, is Petrie and Sharpe’s “Monumenta Historica Britannica,” 1848, folio; £1 5s. (as issued). The notes to this work are exceedingly valuable. The most complete and satisfactory series of all is, however, one which was commenced in 1857 under the CHRONICLES. 017*7 Oil direction of the Master of the Rolls, entitled “ Reruin Britannicarum Medii JEvi Scriptores — Chronicles and Memorials of Great Britain, &c.”; £7 10s. (hf. rox., uncut, 57 vols., 8vo, 1858-65) ; £38 (hf. rox., uncut, 182 vols.), £43 (hf. rox., uncut, 211 vols.). The above list comprises all or nearly all the important collections of the English ancient historians which have hitherto been published; some of the more noted authors have however been edited separately, and these are referred to below, in alphabetical order. Many of these separate pieces are both rare and valuable, as the quoted prices will show, but as to the collections a different rule altogether prevails. Generally speaking, the more recent the collection the greater its value, while as regards the single works, the older the book the greater its value. The reason of this distinction is that none of the collections are old enough to rank primarily as specimens of ancient typography, the contrary being the fact so far as the single pieces are concerned. Where a book of this class is so old as to amount to a curiosity, which presupposes a date anterior to about 1550, the value is increasing; in nearly every other instance the value is less now than it was at the commencement of the present century. To realise a satisfactory price, Chronicles, which include all historical works, must be either very old or comparatively new ; though of course there are exceptions to this as to every other rule.

It consists of four short books, the first beginning with the Creation and ending a.d. 449. The remainder of the work is a meagre compilation from the “ Anglo-Saxon Chronicle.” 378 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Ailred (Abbot of Rievaulx), Vita Edivardi Regis et Confessoris.

(cf. gt.). Anonymous. An unknown historiographer, the last of the ancient English historians who composed in Latin, continued the history of Croyland Abbey begun by Abbot Ingulph. All that is known of him is that he was a doctor of Canon Law and a member of the Council under Edward IV. The “ Historic Croylandensis continuatio,” as well as Ingulph’s treatise, will be found in the first volume of Fulman’s “ Rerum Anglicarum, Scriptorum Veterum,” 1684, folio.

When offered for sale the price asked averages 15s. or £1 each. CHAPTER XIX. Private Presses. A book “ privately printed ” is one that is circulated gratuitously by the author, or at any rate not “ pub¬ lished” for sale. Most of these books are printed by professional typographers, but some, though compara¬ tively speaking only a few, have issued from private presses, established by amateurs, who have personally superintended the production of their works. Private presses have of late years always been in the hands of dilettanti with unlimited means and plenty of time at their disposal, and, from their nature, are necessarily limited in number. Auchinleck Press was founded at Auchinleck House in Dumfriesshire, the seat of Sir Alexander Boswell, the son of James Boswell, the biographer of Dr. Johnson. The first work printed by Sir Alexander was entitled the “ Tyrant’s Fall,” 1815, 8vo, and consists of a pamphlet of five pages. The “Frondes Caducae ” was reprinted in 1816, 1817, and 1818, all in 4to. This press had only a short life of three years, 1815-18. Beldornie Press, established at Beldornie Tower in the Isle of Wight, by Edward Utterson, in 1840. Sixteen works issued from the press, which ceased to exist in 1843. Darlington Press, established by George Allan about the year 1775. The productions of this press are of an exceedingly miscellaneous character, consisting of ballads, election squibs, inscriptions on monuments, legal documents, notices to people trespassing on Mr. Allan’s grounds, and even PRIVATE PRESSES. 399 a single sheet, in 4 to. on the dimensions and weight of a fat ox bred near Darlington. A tract, entitled “ Of the Pata¬ gonians,” is, however, scarce; 1788, Darlington, 4to. The principal productions are topographical, and some of these are both useful, interesting, and valuable. Hafod Press, established in 1803 by Mr. Johnes, at Hafod in Cardiganshire, from whence issued the Chronicles of Froissart, Monstrelet, and Joinville. Kelmscott Press, founded by Mr. William Morris in 1891, at Hammersmith Mall. Up to date (September, 1891) a single work has issued from this press, viz., “ The Story of the Glittering Plain,” published at £2 2s. The present value is about double, though no copies have so far been sold by auction in London. Lee Priory Press. This famous printing establishment was instituted by Johnson and Warwick, at Ickham, near Canter¬ bury, in the year 1813. From this date to 1822 the pro¬ prietors printed 52 works and some 110 single leaves ; but in no instance were more than 100 copies of each struck off, and in most cases a very much Jess number. Sir Egerton Brydges edited nearly all the works that issued from the press. Middle Hill Press, established at the seat of Sir Thomas Phillipps in Worcestershire in the year 1819, turned out an immense quantity of pamphlets and single leaves. The principal subjects treated of are genealogical, heraldic, and antiquarian literature. Strawberry Hill Press, perhaps the most famous of any, was founded by Horace Walpole at his house at Twick¬ enham. The first work printed is entitled “ Two Odes to Mr. Gray,” 4to, 1757, and the last, “Bishop Bonner’s Ghost,” 4to, 1789. There are many detached pieces in folio, 4to, 8vo x and infra. INDEX. A.

D r. j. collis • BROWNE’S CHLORODYN E.— Dr. J. C. BROWNE (late Army Medical Staff) DIS¬ COVERED a REMEDY, to denote which he coined the word CHLORODYNE. Dr. Browne is the SOLE INVENTOR, and, as the composition of Chlorodyne cannot possibly be dis¬ covered by Analysis (or¬ ganic substances defying elimination), and since the formula has never been published, it is evident that any statement to the effect that a compound is iden¬ tical with Dr. Browne’s Chlorodyne must be false. This caution is necessary, as many persons deceive purchasers by false repre¬ sentations. DIARRHEA, CHOLERA, DYSENTERY. GENERAL BOARD of HEALTH, London, REPORT that it acts as a CHARM, one dose gener¬ ally sufficient. Dr. GIBBON, Army Medi¬ cal Staff, Calcutta, states: “TWO DOSES COM¬ PLETELY CURED ME of DIARRHOEA.” ARCHBISHOP MAGEE —Extract from one of his published letters to his wife: “I had a return of a bad cold yesterday morning— preached with two pocket- handkerchiefs to a great congregation at St. Mary’s, ate a ‘cold collation* at three o’clock, saw clergy on business until five o’clock, went to a ‘ parochial tea ’ at six o’clock; sat out no end of tea, glees, and speeches until half-past nine; finished off with a speech until ten o’clock, came here very bad with cold, took Chlorodyne and went to bed very miser¬ able ; woke next morning quite well.” D R. j. collis BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE is the TRUE PALLIATIVE in N euralgia, gout, CANCER, TOOTH. ACHE, RHEUMATISM. D r. j. collis BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE is a j liquid medicine which assuages PAIN of EVERY | KIND, affords a calm re¬ freshing sleep WITHOUT HEADACHE, and IN¬ VIGORATES the nervous system when exhausted. D r. j. collis BROWNE’S CHLORODYNE rapidly cuts short all attacks of E pilepsy, spasms, COLIC, PALPITATION, HYSTERIA. IMPORTANT CAUTION. The IMMENSE SALE of this REMEDY has given rise to many UNSCRUPU¬ LOUS IMITATIONS. Be careful to observe Trade Of all Chemists, 1/1£, 2/9, and 4/6. Sole Manufacturers, J. T. DAVENPORT, Ltd London. •» The ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS of September 23, 1395, says: “If I were asked which single medicine I should prefer to take abroad with me, as likely to be most generally useful, to the exclusion of all others, I should say Chlorodyne. I never travel without it, and its general applicability to the relief of a large number of simple ailments forms its best recommendation.” Printin CataBogueSj Price Lists» CircaEars, Magazines, ■■■■■■————■—■■1——>« gi——iMB—^ 11—— — ii—iwn» iraw ■ ■~n —iw Newspapers, Books, etc. WELL , CHEAPLY , QUICKS.
