,,armstrong ,,son1 ,,broadway4 ,,london3 ,,elliot ,,stock4 #ahhf ,,preface4 ,it will be generally allowed that a handy guide to the formation of libraries is required1 but it may be that the difficulty of doing justice to so large a subject has prevented those who felt the want from attempting to fill it4 ,i hope therefore that it will not be considered that ,i have shown temerity by stepping into the vacant place4 ,i cannot hope to have done full justice to so important a theme in the small space at my disposal1 but ,i think ,i can say that this little volume contains much information which the librarian and the book lover require and cannot easily obtain elsewhere4 ,they are probably acquainted with most of this information1 but the memory will fail us at times and it is then convenient to have a record at hand4 ,a book of this character is peculiarly open to criticism1 but ,i hope the critics will give me credit for knowing more than ,i have set down4 ,in making a list of books of reference1 ,i have had to make a selection1 and works have been before me that ,i have decided to omit1 although some would think them as important as many of those ,i have included4 ,i need not extend this preface with any lengthy explanation of the objects of the book1 as these are stated in the ,introduction1 but before concluding ,i may perhaps be allowed to allude to one personal circumstance4 ,i had hoped to dedicate this first volume of the ,book ,lover's ,library to ,,henry ,,bradshaw1 one of the most original and most learned bibliographers that ever lived1 but before it was finished the spirit of that great man had passed away to the inexpressible grief of all who knew him4 ,it is with no desire to shield myself under the shelter of a great name1 but with a reverent wish to express my own sense of our irreparable loss that ,i dedicate this book 7though all unworthy of the honour7 to his memory4 ,,contents4 ,,page ,,introduction #a ,,chapter ,i4 ,,how

of opinion among book lovers as to the need of a ,handbook which shall answer satisfactorily the question--,how to ,form a ,library--it does not follow that there will be a like agreement as to the best shape in which to put the answer4 ,on the one side a string of generalities can be of no use to any one1 and on the other a too great particularity of instruction may be resented by those who only require hints on a few points1 and feel that they know their own business better than any author can tell them4 ,one of the most important attempts to direct the would-be founder of a ,library in his way was made as long ago as #ahbd by ,dr4 ,dibdin1 and the result was entitled ,the ,library ,companion4#a ,the book could never have been a safe guide1 and now it is hopelessly out of date4 ,tastes change1 and many books upon the necessity of possessing which ,dibdin enlarges are now little valued4 ,dr4 ,hill ,burton writes of this book as follows in his ,book-,hunter3 ,this1 it will be observed1 is not intended as a manual of rare or curious1 or in any way peculiar books1 but as the instruction of a ,nestor on the best books for study and use in all departments of literature4 ,yet one will look in vain there for such names as ,montaigne1 ,shaftesbury1 ,benjamin ,franklin1 ,d',alembert1 ,turgot1 ,adam ,smith1 ,malebranche1 ,lessing1 ,goethe1 ,schiller1 ,fnlon1 ,burke1 ,kant1 ,richter1 ,spinoza1 ,flechier1 and many others4 ,characteristically enough1 if you turn up ,rousseau in the index1 you will find ,jean ,baptiste1 but not ,jean ,jacques4 ,you will search in vain for ,dr4 ,thomas ,reid the metaphysician1 but will readily find ,isaac ,reed the editor4 ,if you look for ,molinus1 or ,du ,moulin1 it is not there1 but alphabetical vicinity gives you the good fortune to become acquainted with ,moule1 ,mr41 his ,bibliotheca ,heraldica4 ,the name of ,hooker will be found1 not to guide the reader to the ,ecclesiastical ,polity1 but to ,dr4 ,jackson ,hooker's ,tour in ,iceland4 ,lastly1 if any one shall search for ,hartley on ,man1 he will find in the place it might occupy1 or has reference to1 the editorial services of ',hazlewood1 ,mr4 ,joseph4' ,although this criticism is to a great extent true1 it does not do justice to ,dibdin's book1 which contains much interesting and valuable matter1 for if the ,library ,companion is used not as a ,guide to be followed1 but as a book for reference1 it will be found of considerable use4 ,william ,goodhugh's ,english ,gentleman's ,library ,manual1 or a ,guide to the ,formation of a ,library of ,select ,literature1 was published in #ahbg4 ,it contains classified lists of library books1 but these are not now of much value1 except for the notes which accompany the titles1 and make this work eminently readable4 ,there are some literary anecdotes not to be found elsewhere4 ,a most valuable work of reference is ,mr4 ,edward ,edwards's ,report on the formation of the ,manchester ,free ,library1 which was printed in #ahea4 ,it is entitled1 ,librarian's ,first ,report to the ,books ,sub-,committee on the ,formation of the ,library1 ,june #cj1 #ahea1 with ,lists of ,books suggested for purchase4 ,the ,lists are arranged in the following order3-- #a4 ,works--collective and miscellaneous--of ,standard ,british authors2 with a selection of those of the ,standard authors of ,america4 #b4 ,works relative to the ,history1 ,topography1 and ,biography of the ,united ,kingdom1 and of the ,united ,states of ,america4 #c4 ,works relative to ,political ,economy1 ,finance1 ,trade1 ,commerce1 ,agriculture1 ,mining1 ,manufactures1 ,inland ,communication1 and ,public ,works4 #d4 ,works relating to ,physics1 ,mathematics1 ,mechanics1 ,practical ,engineering1 ,arts1 and ,trades1 etc4 #e4 ,voyages and ,travels4 #f4 ,works on ,zoology1 ,botany1 ,mineralogy1 and ,geology4 #g4 ,periodical ,publications and ,transactions of ,learned ,societies 7not included in ,lists #b1 #c1 or #f71 ,collections1 ,encyclopdias1 ,gazetteers1 ,atlases1 ,dictionaries1 ,bibliographies1 ,indexes1 etc4 ,these draft lists include #dehb distinct works1 extending to about #ab1dch volumes1 including pamphlets1 but exclusive of #eec ,parliamentary ,papers and ,reports1 or ,blue ,books4 ,such a practically useful collection of lists of books will not easily be found elsewhere4 ,mr4 ,edwards gives some rules for the formation of ,libraries in the second volume of his ,memoirs of ,libraries 7p4 #fbi71 where he writes1 ,no task is more likely to strip a man of self-conceit than that of having to frame1 and to carry out in detail a plan for the formation of a large ,library4 ,when he has once got beyond those departments of knowledge in which his own pursuits and tastes have specially interested him1 the duty becomes a difficult one1 and the certainty1 that with his best efforts1 it will be very imperfectly performed is embarrassing and painful4 ,if1 on the other hand1 the task be imposed upon a ',committee1' there ensues almost the certainty that its execution will depend at least as much on chance as on plan3 that responsibility will be so attenuated as to pass off in vapour2 and that the collection so brought together will consist of parts bearing but a chaotic sort of relation to the whole4 ,mr4 ,henry ,stevens printed in #ahec his pretty little book entitled ,catalogue of my ,english ,library1 which contains a very useful selection of ,standard books4 ,in his ,introduction the author writes1 ,it was my intention in the outset not to exceed #djjj volumes1 but little by little the list has increased to #egea volumes4 ,i have been considerably puzzled to know what titles to strike out in my next impression1 being well aware that what is trash to one person is by no means such to another2 also that many books of more merit than those admitted have been omitted4 ,you may not think it difficult to strike out twenty authors1 and to add twenty better ones in their place1 but let me relate to you a parable4 ,i requested twenty men1 whose opinions on the ,literary ,exchange are as good as those of the ,barings or the ,rothschilds on the ,royal1 each to expunge twenty authors and to insert twenty others of better standing in their places1 promising to exclude in my next impression any author who should receive more than five votes4 ,the result was1 as may be supposed1 not a single expulsion or addition4 ,in #ahee ,mons4 ,hector ,bossange produced a companion volume1 entitled ,ma ,bibliothque ,franaise4 ,it contains a select list of about #gjjj volumes1 and is completed with ,indexes of ,subjects1 ,authors1 and ,persons4 ,for helpful ,bibliographical ,guides we often have to look to the ,united ,states1 and we do not look in vain4 ,a most useful ,handbook1 entitled ,the ,best ,reading1 was published in #ahgb by ,george ,p4 ,putman1 and the work edited by ,f4,b4 ,perkins is now in its fourth edition4#b ,the books are arranged in an alphabet of subjects1 and the titles are short1 usually being well within a single line4 ,a very useful system of appraisement of the value of the books is adopted4 ,thus3 a1 means that the book so marked is considered the book1 or as good as any1 at a moderate cost2 b means1 in like manner1 the best of the more elaborate or costly books on the subject4 ,in the department of ,,fiction1 a more precise classification has been attempted1 in which a general idea of the relative importance of the authors is indicated by the use of the letters a1 b1 and c1 and of the relative value of their several works by the asterisks 99 and 99994 ,having noted a few of the ,guides which are now at hand for the use of the founders of a library1 we may be allowed to go back somewhat in time1 and consider how our predecessors treated this same subject1 and we can then conclude the present ,introduction with a consideration of the less ambitious attempts to instruct the book collector which may be found in papers and articles4 ,one of the earliest works on the formation of a library was written by ,bishop ,cardona1 and published at ,tarragona in #aehg1 in a thin volume entitled ,de regia ,s4 ,laurentii ,bibliothec4 ,de ,pontificia ,vaticana etc44 ,justus ,lipsius wrote his ,de ,bibliothecis ,syntagma at the end of the sixteenth century1 and next in importance we come to ,gabriel ,naud1 who published one of the most famous of bibliographical essays4 ,the first edition was published at ,paris in #afbg1 and the second edition in #afdd4 ,this was reprinted in ,paris by ,j4 ,liseux in #ahgf--;,advis pour dresser une ,bibliothque1 prsent ,monseigneur le ,prsident de ,mesme1 par ,g4 ,naud ,p4 ,paris1 chez ,franois ,farga1 #afbg4 ,this essay was translated by ,john ,evelyn1 and dedicated to ,lord ,chancellor ,clarendon4 ,instructions concerning erecting of a ,library2 ,presented to ,my ,lord the ,president ,de ,mesme4 ,by ,gabriel ,naudeus ,p41 and now interpreted by ,jo4 ,evelyn1 ,esquire1 ,london1 #affa4 ,naud enlarges on the value of ,catalogues1 and recommends the book-buyer to make known his desires1 so that others may help him in the search1 or supply his wants4 ,he specially mentions two modes of forming a library2 one is to buy libraries entire1 and the other is to hunt at book-stalls4 ,he advised the book-buyer not to spend too much upon bindings4 ,naud appears to have been a born librarian1 for at the early age of twenty the ,president ,de ,mesme appointed him to take charge of his library4 ,he left his employer in #afbf1 in order to finish his medical studies4 ,cardinal ,bagni took him to ,rome1 and when ,bagni died1 ,naud became librarian to ,cardinal ,barberini4 ,richelieu recalled him to ,paris in #afdb1 to act as his librarian1 but the ,minister dying soon afterwards1 ,naud took the same office under ,mazarin4 ,during the troubles of the ,fronde1 the librarian had the mortification of seeing the library which he had collected dispersed2 and in consequence he accepted the offer of ,queen ,christina1 to become her librarian at ,stockholm4 ,naud was not happy abroad1 and when ,mazarin appealed to him to reform his scattered library1 he returned at once1 but died on the journey home at ,abbeville1 ,july #bi1 #afec4 ,the ,mazarin ,library consisted of more than #dj1jjj volumes1 arranged in seven rooms filled from top to bottom4 ,it was rich in all classes1 but more particularly in ,law and ,physic4 ,naud described it with enthusiasm as the most beautiful and best furnished of any library now in the world1 or that is likely 7if affection does not much deceive me7 ever to be hereafter4 ,such should be a library in the formation of which the ,kings and ,princes and ,ambassadors of ,europe were all helpers4 ,naud in another place called it the work of my hands and the miracle of my life4 ,great therefore was his dejection when the library was dispersed4 ,of this he said1 ,beleeve1 if you please1 that the ruine of this ,library will be more carefully marked in all ,histories and ,calendars1 than the taking and sacking of ,constantinople4 ,naud's letter on the destruction of the ,mazarin ,library was published in ,london in #afeb1 and the pamphlet was reprinted in the ,harleian ,miscellany4 ,news from ,france1 or a ,description of the ,library of ,cardinall ,mazarini1 before it was utterly ruined4 ,sent in a letter from ,g4 ,naudus1 ,keeper of the ,publick ,library4 ,london1 ,printed for ,timothy ,garthwait1 #afeb4 #dto4 #d leaves4 ,in #afej was published at ,london1 by ,samuel ,hartlib1 a little book entitled1 ,the ,reformed ,librarie ,keeper1 with a ,supplement to the ,reformed ,school1 as ,subordinate to ,colleges in ,universities4 ,by ,john ,durie4 ,london1 ,william ,du-,gard1 #afej4c ,john ,durie's ideas on the educational value of ,libraries and the high function of the ,librarian are similar to those enunciated by ,carlyle1 when he wrote1 ,the true ,university of these days is a ,collection of ,books4 ,of this point1 as elaborated in the proposal to establish ,professorships of ,bibliography1 we shall have something more to say further on4 ,it is always interesting to see the views of great men exemplified in the selection of books for a ,library1 and we may with advantage study the lists prepared by ,george ,,iii4 and ,dr4 ,johnson4 ,the ,king was a collector of the first rank1 as is evidenced by his fine library1 now in the ,british ,museum1 and he knew his books well4 ,when he was about to visit ,weymouth1 he wrote to his bookseller for the following books to be supplied to him to form a closet library at that watering place4 ,the list was written from memory1 and it was printed by ,dibdin in his ,library ,companion1 from the original document in the ,king's own handwriting3 ,the ,holy ,bible4 #b vols4 #hvo4 ,cambridge4 ,new ,whole ,duty of ,man4 #hvo4 ,the ,annual ,register4 #be vols4 #hvo4 ,the ,history of ,england1 by ,rapin4 #ba vols4 #hvo4 #ageg4

good working collection3-- ,rollin's ,ancient ,history4 ,universal ,history 7,ancient74 ,puffendorf's ,introduction to ,history4 ,vertot's ,history of the ,knights of ,malta4 ,vertot's ,revolutions of ,portugal4 ,vertot's ,revolutions of ,sweden4 ,carte's ,history of ,england4 ,present ,state of ,england4 ,geographical ,grammar4 ,prideaux's ,connection4 ,nelson's ,feasts and ,fasts4 ,duty of ,man4

,england's ,gazetteer4 ,goldsmith's ,roman ,history4 ,some ,commentaries on the ,bible4 ,it is curious to notice in both these lists how many of the books are now quite superseded4 ,in another place ,boswell tells us what were ,johnson's views on book collecting4 ,when ,i mentioned that ,i had seen in the ,king's ,library sixty-three editions of my favourite ,thomas ,kempis1 amongst which it was in eight languages1 ,latin1 ,german1 ,french1 ,italian1 ,spanish1 ,english1 ,arabick1 and ,armenian1 he said he thought it unnecessary to collect many editions of a book1 which were all the same1 except as to the paper and print2 he would have the original1 and all the translations1 and all the editions which had any variations in the text4 ,he approved of the famous collection of editions of ,horace by ,douglas1 mentioned by ,pope1 who is said to have had a closet filled with them2 and he said every man should try to collect one book in that manner1 and present it to a ,publick ,library4 ,dr4 ,johnson's notion as to the collection of editions which are alike except in the point of paper is scarcely sound1 but it has been held by a librarian of the present day1 as ,i know to my cost4 ,on one occasion ,i was anxious to see several copies of the first folio of ,shakespeare 7#afbc71 and ,i visited a certain library which possessed more than one4 ,the librarian expressed the opinion that one was quite sufficient for me to see1 as they were all alike4 ,the possessor of a ,private ,library can act as a censor morum and keep out of his collection any books which offend against good morals1 but this role is one which is unfit for the librarian of a ,public ,library4 ,he may put difficulties in the way of the ordinary reader seeing such books1 but nevertheless they should be in his library for the use of the student4 ,a most amusing instance of misapplied zeal occurred at the ,advocates' ,library on the #bgth ,june1 #aged4 ,the ,minutes tell the tale in a way that speaks for itself and requires no comment4 ,mr4 ,james ,burnet afterwards ,lord ,monboddo1 and ,sir ,david ,dalrymple afterwards ,lord ,hailes1 ,curators of the ,library1 having gone through some accounts of books lately bought1 and finding therein the three following ,french books3 ,les ,contes de ,la ,fontaine1 ,l',histoire ,amoureuse des ,gaules and ,l',ecumoire1 they ordain that the said books be struck out of the ,catalogue of the ,library1 and removed from the shelves1 as indecent books1 unworthy of a place in a learned ,library4 ,at a ,conference of ,representatives of ,institutions in ,union with the ,society of ,arts held in ,july1 #ahee1 the question of the compilation of a ,catalogue of ,books fitted for the ,libraries of ,institutions was raised1 and shortly afterwards was published1 under the sanction of the ,council1 ,a ,handbook of ,mechanics' ,institutions1 with ,priced ,catalogue of ,books suitable for ,libraries1 and ,periodicals for ,reading ,rooms1 by ,w4,h4,j4 ,traice4 ,a second edition of this book was published in #ahfc4 ,the list1 however1 is not now of much use1 as many of the books have been superseded4 ,theology and ,politics are not included in the classification4 ,in #ahfh ,mr4 ,mullins read a paper before a ,meeting of the ,social ,science ,association at ,birmingham1 on the management of ,free ,libraries1 and1 in its reprinted form1 this has

the subject of ,libraries in chapter #cf 7,library ,bibliography71 of the ,report on ,public ,libraries in the ,u4,s4 7#ahgf74 ,the volume of ,transactions and ,proceedings of the ,conference of ,librarians1 ,london1 #ahgg1 contains two papers on the ,selection of ,books1 one by ,mr4 ,robert ,harrison1 ,librarian of the ,london ,library1 and the other by the late ,mr4 ,james ,m4 ,anderson1 ,assistant ,librarian of the ,university of ,st4 ,andrews4 ,mr4 ,harrison gives the following as the three guiding principles of selection in forming a library3 #a4 ,policy2 #b4 ,utility2 #c4 ,special or ,local ,appropriateness2 and he deals with each successively4 ,mr4 ,anderson writes that the selection of books should invariably be made 7#a7 in relation to the library itself1 and 7#b7 in relation to those using it4 ,we have chiefly to do with the formation of libraries1 and therefore the use made of them when they are formed cannot well be enlarged upon here1 but a passing note may be made on the proposal which has been much discussed of late years1 viz4 that for ,professorships of ,books and ,reading4 ,the ,united ,states ,report on ,public ,libraries contains a chapter on this subject by ,f4,b4 ,perkins and ,william ,matthews 7pp4 #bcj-bea71 and ,mr4 ,axon also contributed a paper at the ,first ,annual ,meeting of the ,library ,association4 ,the value of such chairs1 if well filled1 is self-evident1 for it takes a man a long time 7without teaching7 to learn how best to use books1 but very special men would be required as ,professors4 ,america has done much to show what the duties of such a ,professor should be1 and ,harvard ,college is specially fortunate in possessing an officer in ,mr4 ,justin ,winsor who is both a model librarian and a practical teacher of the art of how best to use the books under his charge4 ,,footnotes3 #a ,the ,library ,companion1 or the ,young ,man's ,guide and the ,old ,man's ,comfort in the ,choice of a ,library4 ,by the ,rev4

,,men ,,have ,,formed ,,libraries4 ,as long as books have existed there have been book collectors4 ,it is easy now to collect1 for books of interest are to be found on all sides2 but in old times this was not so1 and we must therefore admire the more those men who formed their libraries under the greatest difficulties4 ,in a book devoted to the formation of libraries it seems but fair to devote some space to doing honour to those who have formed libraries1 and perhaps some practical lessons may be learned from a few historical facts4 ,englishmen may well be proud of ,richard ,aungerville de ,bury1 a man occupying a busy and exalted station1 who not only collected books with ardour united with judgment1 but has left for the benefit of later ages a manual which specially endears his memory to all book lovers4 ,he collected books1 and often took them in place of corn for tithes and dues1 but he also produced books1 for he kept copyists in his house4 ,many of these books were carefully preserved in his palace at ,durham1 but it is also pleasant to think of some of them being carefully preserved in the noble mansion belonging to his see which stood by the side of the ,thames1 and on the site of the present ,adelphi4 ,petrarch was a book-loving poet1 and he is said to have met the book-loving ecclesiastic ,richard de ,bury at ,rome4 ,he gave his library to the ,church of ,st4 ,mark at ,venice in #acfb2 but the guardians allowed the books to decay1 and few were rescued4 ,boccaccio bequeathed his library to the ,augustinians at ,florence1 but one cannot imagine the books of the accomplished author of the ,decameron as very well suited for the needs of a religious society1 and it was probably weeded before ,boccaccio's death4 ,the remains of the library are still shown to visitors in the ,laurentian ,library1 the famous building due to the genius of ,michael ,angelo4 ,cardinal ,john ,bessarion gave his fine collection 7which included about #fjj ,greek ,,mss47 to ,st4 ,mark's in #adfh1 and in the letter to the ,doge which accompanied his gift1 he tells some interesting particulars of his early life as a collector4 ,he writes1 ,from my youth ,i have bestowed my pains and exertion in the collection of books on various sciences4 ,in former days ,i copied many with my own hands1 and ,i have employed on the purchase of others such small means as a frugal and thrifty life permitted me to devote to the purpose4 ,the ,rev4 ,joseph ,hunter printed in #ahca a valuable ,catalogue of the ,library of the ,priory of ,bretton in ,yorkshire1 and added to it some notices of the ,libraries belonging to other ,religious ,houses1 in which he gives us a good idea of the contents of these libraries4 ,he writes1 ,on comparing the ,bretton ,catalogue with that of other religious communities1 we find the libraries of the ,english monasteries composed of very similar materials4 ,they consisted of-- #a4 ,the ,scriptures2 and these always in an ,english or the ,latin version4 ,a ,greek or ,hebrew ,manuscript of the ,scriptures is not found in ,leland's notes1 or1 ,i believe1 in any of the catalogues4 ,in ,wetstein's ,catalogue of ,,mss4 of the ,new

doubtful authority1 commonly called ,legends4 ,most of the manuscripts which composed the monastic libraries were destroyed at the ,reformation4 ,humphry ,plantagenet ,duke of ,gloucester1 whose fame has been so lasting as the 'good ,duke ,humphry1' was also a book-collector of renown2 but most of the old libraries we read about have left but little record of their existence3 thus the ,common ,library at ,guildhall1 founded by ,dick ,whittington in #adbj1 and added to by ,john ,carpenter1 the ,town ,clerk of ,london1 has been entirely destroyed1 the books having1 in the first instance1 been carried away by ,edward ,seymour ,duke of ,somerset4 ,although1 as we have seen from ,mr4 ,hunter's remarks1 there was a considerable amount of variety in the subjects of these manuscript collections1 we must still bear in mind that in a large number of instances the contents of the libraries consisted of little more than ,breviaries and ,service ,books4 ,it has been pointed out that this fact is illustrated by the union of the offices of ,precentor and ,armarius in one person1 who had charge of the ,library 7,armarium7 and its great feeder1 the ,writing-room 7,scriptorium71 as well as the duty of leading the singing in the church4 ,many lists of old libraries have been preserved1 and these have been printed in various bibliographical works1 thus giving us a valuable insight into the reading of our forefathers4 ,when we come to consider libraries of printed books in place of manuscripts1 we naturally find a greater variety of subjects collected by the famous men who have formed collections4 ,montaigne1 the friend of all literary men1 could not have been the man we know him to have been if he had not lived among his books4 ,like many a later book-lover1 he decorated his library with mottoes1 and burnt-in his inscriptions letter by letter with his own hands4 ,grotius made his love of books do him a special service1 for he escaped from prison in a box which went backwards and forwards with an exchange of books for his entertainment and instruction4 ,grolier and ,de ,thou stand so pre-eminent among book collectors1 and from the beauty of the copies they possessed the relics of their libraries are so frequently seen1 that it seems merely necessary here to mention their names4 ,but as ,frenchmen may well boast of these men1 so ,englishmen can take pride in the possession of the living memory of ,archbishop ,parker1 who enriched ,cambridge1 and of ,sir ,thomas ,bodley1 who made the ,library at ,oxford one of the chief glories of our land4 ,old ,lists of ,books are always of interest to us as telling what our forefathers cared to have about them1 but it is seldom that a list is so tantalising as one described by ,mr4 ,edward ,edwards in his ,libraries and ,founders of ,libraries4 ,anne of ,denmark presented her son ,charles with a splendid series of volumes1 bound in crimson and purple velvet4 ,abraham van der ,dort1 who was keeper of ,charles's cabinet1 made an inventory of this cabinet2 and having no notion of how to make a catalogue of books1 he has managed to leave out all the information we wish for4 ,the inventory is among the ,harleian ,,mss4 7#dgah71 and the following are specimens of the entries3-- ,im'pris #ai books in ,crimson velvet1 whereof #ah are bound #dto4 and ye #aith in folio1 adorn'd with some silver guilt plate1 and ye #b claspes wanting4 ,given to ye ,king by ,queen ,ann of famous memory4 ,item1 more #ae books1 #ac thereof being in long #dto4 and ye #b lesser cover'd over also with purple velvet4 ,given also to ye ,king by ye said ,queen ,ann4 ,most of the famous private libraries of days gone by have left little record of their existence1 but ,evelyn's collection is still carefully preserved at ,wotton1 the house of the ,diarist's later years1 and ,pepys's books continue at ,cambridge in the cases he had made for them1 and in the order he fixed for them4 ,in a long letter to ,pepys1 dated from ,sayes ,court1 #abth ,august1 #afhi1 ,evelyn gives an account of such private libraries as he knew of in ,england1 and in ,london more particularly4 ,he first mentions ,lord ,chancellor ,clarendon1 to whom he dedicated his translation of ,naud's ,advice1 and who furnished a very ample library4 ,evelyn observes that ,england was peculiarly defective in good libraries3 ,paris alone1 ,i am persuaded1 being able to show more than all the three nations of ,great ,britain4 ,he describes ,dr4 ,stillingfleet's1 at ,twickenham1 as the very best library4#d ,he did not think much either of the ,earl of ,bristol's or of ,sir ,kenelm ,digby's books1 but he says ,lord ,maitland's was certainly the noblest1 most substantial and accomplished library that ever passed under the spear4 ,in a useful little volume published at ,london in #agci1 and entitled1 ,a ,critical and ,historical ,account of all the ,celebrated ,libraries in ,foreign ,countries1 as well ancient as modern1 which is stated to be written by a ,gentleman of the ,temple1 are some ,general ,reflections upon the ,choice of ,books and the ,method of furnishing ,libraries and ,cabinets4 ,as these reflections are interesting in themselves1 and curious as the views of a writer of the middle of the eighteenth century on this important subject1 ,i will transfer them bodily to these pages4 ,nothing can be more laudable than forming ,libraries1 when the founders have no other view than to improve themselves and men of letters3 but it will be necessary1 in the first place1 to give some directions1 which will be of great importance towards effecting the design1 as well with regard to the choice of books as the manner of placing to advantage3 nor is it sufficient in this case1 to be learned1 since he who would have a collection worthy of the name of a library must of all things have a thorough knowledge of books1 that he may distinguish such as are valuable from the trifling4 ,he must likewise understand the price of ,books1 otherwise he may purchase some at too high a rate1 and undervalue others3 all which requires no small judgment and experience4 ,let us suppose1 then1 the founder possessed of all those qualifications1 three things fall next under consideration4 ,first1 the number of books2 secondly1 their quality2 and1 lastly1 the order in which they ought to be ranged4 ,as to the quantity1 regard must be had1 as well to places as to persons2 for should a man of moderate fortune propose to have a ,library for his own use only1 it would be imprudent in him to embarrass his affairs in order to effect it4 ,under such circumstances he must rather consider the usefulness than the number of books1 for which we have the authority of ,seneca1 who tells us that a multitude of books is more burthensome than instructive to the understanding4 ,but if a private person has riches enough for founding a ,library1 as well for his own use as for the public1 he ought to furnish it with the most useful volumes in all arts and sciences1 and procure such as are scarcest and most valuable1 from all parts1 that the learned1 of whom there are many classes1 may instruct themselves in what may be useful to them1 and may gratify their enquiries4 ,but as the condition and abilities of such as would form ,libraries are to be distinguished1 so regard must likewise be had to places1 for it is very difficult to procure1 or collect books in some countries1 without incredible expense2 a design of that kind would be impracticable in ,america1 ,africa1 and some parts of ,asia2 so that nothing can be determined as to the number of books1 that depending entirely upon a variety of circumstances1 and the means of procuring them1 as has been observ'd before4 ,as to the second topic1 special care must be taken in the choice of books1 for upon that alone depends the value of a ,library4 ,we must not form a judgment of books either by their bulk or numbers1 but by their intrinsic merit and usefulness4 ,alexander ,severus's ,library consisted of no more than four volumes1 that is the works of ,plato1 ,cicero1 ,virgil1 and ,horace4 ,melanchthon seems to have imitated that ,prince1 for his collection amounted to four books only1 ,plato1 ,pliny1 ,plutarch1 and ,ptolemy4 ,there is another necessary lesson for those who form designs of making libraries1 that is1 that they must disengage themselves from all prejudices with regard either to ancient or modern books1 for such a wrong step often precipitates the judgment1 without scrutiny or examination1 as if truth and knowledge were confined to any particular times or places4 ,the ancients and moderns should be placed in collections1 indifferently1 provided they have those characters we hinted before4 ,let us now proceed to the third head1 the manner of placing books in such order1 as that they may be resorted to upon any emergency1 without difficulty1 otherwise they can produce but little advantage either to the owners or others4 ,the natural method of placing books and manuscripts is to range them in separate classes or apartments1 according to the science1 art1 or subject1 of which they treat4 ,here it will be necessary to observe1 that as several authors have treated of various subjects1 it may be difficult to place them under any particular class2 ,plutarch1 for instance1 who was an historian1 a political writer1 and a philosopher4 ,the most advisable method then is to range them under the head of ,miscellaneous ,authors1 with proper references to each subject1 but this will be more intelligible by an example4 ,suppose1 then1 we would know the names of the celebrated ,historians of the ancients2 nothing more is necessary than to inspect the class under which the historians are placed1 and so of other ,faculties4 ,by this management1 one set of miscellaneous authors will be sufficient1 and may be resorted to with as much ease and expedition as those who have confined themselves to one subject4 ,in choice of books regard must be had to the edition1 character1 paper and binding4 ,as to the price1 it is difficult to give any positive directions2 that of ordinary works is easily known1 but as to such as are very scarce and curious1 we can only observe that their price is as uncertain as that of medals and other monuments of antiquity1 and often depends more on the caprice of the buyer than the intrinsic merit of the work1 some piquing themselves upon the possession of things from no other consideration than their exorbitant price4 ,dr4 ,byrom's quaint library is still preserved at ,manchester in its entirety4 ,bishop ,moore's fine collection finds a resting place in the ,university ,library at ,cambridge1 and the relics of the ,library of ,harley1 ,earl of ,oxford1 a mine of manuscript treasure1 still remain one of the chief glories of the ,british ,museum4 ,how much cause for regret is there that the library itself1 which ,osborne bought and ,johnson described1 did not also find a settled home1 instead of being dispersed over the land4 ,it is greatly to the credit of the rich and busy man to spend his time and riches in the collection of a fine library1 but still greater honour is due to the poor man who does not allow himself to be pulled down by his sordid surroundings4 ,the once-famous small-coalman1 ,thomas ,britton1 furnishes a most remarkable instance of true greatness in a humble station1 and one1 moreover1 which was fully recognized in his own day4 ,he lived next door to ,st4 ,john's ,gate1 ,clerkenwell1 and although he gained his living by selling coals from door to door1 many persons of the highest station were in the habit of attending the musical meetings held at his house4 ,he was an excellent chemist as well as a good musician1 and ,thomas ,hearne tells us that he left behind him a valuable collection of musick mostly pricked by himself1 which was sold upon his death for near an hundred pounds1 a considerable collection of musical instruments which was sold for fourscore pounds1 not to mention the excellent collection of printed books that he also left behind him1 both of chemistry and musick4 ,besides these books that he left1 he had some years before his death 7#agad7 sold by auction a noble collection of books1 most of them in the ,rosicrucian faculty 7of which he was a great admirer71 whereof there is a printed catalogue extant1 as there is of those that were sold after his death1 which catalogue ,i have by me 7by the gift of my very good friend ,mr4 ,bagford71 and have often looked over with no small surprize and wonder1 and particularly for the great number of ,,mss4 in the before-mentioned faculties that are specified in it4#e ,dr4 ,johnson1 although a great reader1 was not a collector of books4 ,he was forced to possess many volumes while he was compiling his ,dictionary1 but when that great labour was completed1 he no longer felt the want of them4 ,goldsmith1 on the other hand1 died possessed of a considerable number of books which he required1 or had at some time required1 for his studies4 ,the ,select ,collection of ,scarce1 ,curious1 and ,valuable ,books1 in ,english1 ,latin1 ,greek1 ,french1 ,italian1 and other ,languages1 late the ,library of ,dr4 ,goldsmith1 deceased1 was sold on ,tuesday1 the #abth of ,july1 #aggd1 and the ,catalogue will be found in the ,appendix to ,forster's ,life4 ,there were #cj lots in folio1 #bf in quarto1 and #ajf in octavo and smaller sizes4 ,among the books of interest in this list are ,chaucer's ,works1 #afjb2 ,davenant's ,works1 #afgc2 ,camoens1 by ,fanshawe1 #afee2 ,cowley's ,works1 #afgd2 ,shelton's ,don ,quixote2 ,raleigh's ,history of the ,world1 #afad2 ,bulwer's ,artificial ,changeling1 #afec2

,works2 and ,de ,bure1 ,bibliographie ,instructive4 ,a catalogue such as this1 made within a few weeks of the death of the owner1 cannot but have great interest for us4 ,the library could not have been a very choice one1 for there is little notice of bindings and much mention of odd volumes4 ,it was evidently a working collection1 containing the works of the poets ,goldsmith loved1 and of the naturalists from whom he stole his knowledge4 ,gibbon was a true collector1 who loved his books1 and he must have needed them greatly1 working as he did at ,lausanne away from public libraries4 ,after his death the library was purchased by ',vathek' ,beckford1 but he kept it buried1 and it was of no use to any one4 ,eventually it was sold by auction1 a portion being bought for the ,canton1 and another portion going to ,america4 ,there was little in the man ,gibbon to be enthusiastic about1 but it is impossible for any true book lover not to delight in the thoroughness of the author of one of the noblest books ever written4 ,the fine old house where the ,decline and ,fall was written and the noble library was stored still stands1 and the traveller may stroll in the garden so beautifully described by ,gibbon when he walked to the historical berceau and felt that his herculean labour was completed4 ,his heart must be preternaturally dull which does not beat quicker as he walks on that ground4 ,the thought of a visit some years ago forms one of the most vivid of the author's pleasures of memory4 ,charles ,burney1 the ,greek scholar1 is said to have expended nearly #be1jjj on his library1 which consisted of more than #ac1jjj printed volumes and a fine collection of ,,mss4 ,the library was purchased for the ,british ,museum for the sum of #ac1ejj4 ,charles ,burney probably inherited his love of collecting from his father1 for ,dr4 ,burney possessed some twenty thousand volumes4 ,these were rather an incumbrance to the ,doctor1 and when he moved to ,chelsea ,hospital1 he was in some difficulty respecting them4 ,mrs4 ,chapone1 when she heard of these troubles1 proved herself no bibliophile1 for she exclaimed1 ,twenty thousand volumes6 bless me6 why1 how can he so encumber himself8 ,why does he not burn half8 for how much must be to spare that never can be worth his looking at from such a store6 and can he want to keep them all8 ,the love of books will often form a tie of connection between very divergent characters1 and in dealing with men who have formed libraries we can bring together the names of those who had but little sympathy with each other during life4 ,george ,,iii4 was a true book collector1 and the magnificent library now preserved in the ,british ,museum owes its origin to his own judgment and enthusiastic love for the pursuit4 ,louis ,,xvi4 cared but little for books until his troubles came thick upon him1 and then he sought solace from their pages4 ,during that life in the ,temple we all know so well from the sad reading of its incidents1 books were not denied to the persecuted royal family4 ,there was a small library in the little tower1 and the king drew up a list of books to be supplied to him from the library at the ,tuileries4 ,the list included the works of ,virgil1 ,horace1 ,ovid1 and ,terence2 of ,tacitus1 ,livy1 ,csar1 ,marcus ,aurelius1 ,eutropius1 ,cornelius ,nepos1 ,florus1 ,justin1 ,quintus ,curtius1 ,sallust1 ,suetonius and ,velleius ,paterculus2 the ,vies des ,saints1 the ,fables de la ,fontaine1 ,tlmaque1 and ,rollin's ,trait des ,etudes4#f ,the more we know of ,napoleon1 and anecdotes of him are continually being published in the ever-lengthening series of ,french memoirs1 the less heroic appears his figure1 but he could not have been entirely bad1 for he truly loved books4 ,he began life as an author1 and would always have books about him4 ,he complained if the printing was bad or the binding poor1 and said1 ,i will have fine editions and handsome binding4 ,i am rich enough for that4#g ,thus spoke the true bibliophile4 ,mr4 ,edwards has collected much interesting information respecting ,napoleon and his libraries1 and of his labours ,i here freely avail myself4 ,bourrienne affirms that the authors who chiefly attracted ,napoleon in his school days were ,polybius1 ,plutarch1 and ,arrian4 ,shortly before he left ,france for ,egypt1 ,napoleon drew up1 with his own hand1 the scheme of a travelling library1 the charge of collecting which was given to ,john ,baptist ,say1 the ,economist4 ,it comprised about three hundred and twenty volumes1 more than half of which are historical1 and nearly all1 as it seems1 in ,french4 ,the ancient historians comprised in the list are ,thucydides1 ,plutarch1 ,polybius1 ,arrian1 ,tacitus1 ,livy1 and ,justin4 ,the poets are ,homer1 ,virgil1 ,tasso1 ,ariosto1 the ,tlmaque of ,fnlon1 the ,henriade of ,voltaire1 with ,ossian and ,la ,fontaine4 ,among the works of prose fiction are the ,english novelists in forty volumes1 of course in translations1 and the indispensable ,sorrows of ,werter1 which1 as he himself told ,goethe1 ,napoleon had read through seven times prior to ,october1 #ahjh4 ,in this list the ,bible1 together with the ,koran and the ,vedas1 are whimsically1 but significantly1 entered under the heading ,politics and ,ethics 7,politique et ,morale74#h ,napoleon was not1 however1 satisfied with the camp libraries which were provided for him2 the good editions were too bulky and the small editions too mean3 so he arranged the plan of a library to be expressly printed for him in a thousand duodecimo volumes without margins1 bound in thin covers and with loose backs4 ,in this new plan ',religion' took its place as the first class4 ,the ,bible was to be there in its best translation1 with a selection of the most important works of the ,fathers of the ,church1 and a series of the best dissertations on those leading religious sects--their doctrines and their history--which have powerfully influenced the world4 ,this section was limited to forty volumes4 ,the ,koran was to be included1 together with a good book or two on mythology4 ,one hundred and forty volumes were allotted to poetry4 ,the epics were to embrace ,homer1 ,lucan1 ,tasso1 ,telemachus1 and the ,henriade4 ,in the dramatic portion ,corneille and ,racine were of course to be included1 but of ,corneille1 said ,napoleon1 you shall print for me 'only what is vital' 7ce qui est rest71 and from ,racine you shall omit ',les ,frres ennemis1 the ,alexandre1 and ,les ,plaideurs4 ,of ,crbillon1 he would have only ,rhadamiste and ,atre et ,thyeste4 ,voltaire was to be subject to the same limitation as ,corneille4'#i ,in prose fiction ,napoleon specifies the ,nouvelle ,hloise and ,rousseau's ,confessions1 the masterpieces of ,fielding1 ,richardson and ,le ,sage1 and ,voltaire's tales4 ,soon after this ,napoleon proposed a much larger scheme for a camp library1 in which history alone would occupy three thousand volumes4 ,history was to be divided into these sections--,i4 ,chronology and ,universal ,history4 ,,ii4 ,ancient ,history 7a4 by ancient writers1 b4 by modern writers74 ,,iii4 ,history of the ,lower ,empire 7in like subdivisions74 ,,iv4 ,history1 both general and particular4 ,v4 ,the ,modern ,history of the different ,states of ,europe4 ,the celebrated bibliographer ,barbier drew up1 according to the ,emperor's orders1 a detailed catalogue of the works which should form such a library4 ,he calculated that by employing a hundred and twenty compositors and twenty-five editors1 the three thousand volumes could be produced1 in satisfactory shape1 and within six years1 at a total cost of #afc1bjj1 supposing fifty copies of each book to be printed4#aj ,the printing was begun1 but little was actually done1 and in six years ,napoleon was in ,st4 ,helena4 ,in his last island home ,napoleon had a library1 and he read largely1 often aloud1 with good effect4 ,it is an interesting fact that among ,napoleon's papers were found some notes on ,geography written when a boy1 and these close with the words--,sainte-,hlne--petite ile4#aa ,in recapitulating here the names of a few of the famous men who have formed libraries it will be necessary to divide them into two classes1 #a1 those whose fame arises from their habit of collecting1 and #b1 those authors in whose lives we are so much interested that the names of the books they possessed are welcomed by us as indications of their characters4 ,what can be said of the libraries of the ,duke of ,roxburghe1 ,earl ,spencer1 ,thomas ,grenville1 and ,richard ,heber that has not been said often before8 ,two of these have been dispersed over the world1 and two remain1 one the glory of a noble family1 and the other of the nation1 or perhaps it would be more proper to say both are the glory of the nation1 for every ,englishman must be proud that the ,spencer ,library still remains intact4 ,heber left behind him over #ajj1jjj volumes1 in eight houses1 four in ,england and four on the ,continent1 and no record remains of this immense library but the volumes of the sale catalogues4 ,such wholesale collection appears to be allied to madness1 but ,heber was no selfish collector1 and his practice was as liberal as ,grolier's motto4 ,his name is enshrined in lasting verse by ,scott3-- ,thy volumes1 open as thy heart1 ,delight1 amusement1 science1 art1 ,to every ear and eye impart2 ,yet who of all that thus employ them1 ,can like the owner's self enjoy them8-- ,but hark6 ,i hear the distant drum3 ,the day of

father1 ,george ,,iii41 in the ranks of book-collectors1 and his library is kept in memory by ,pettigrew's fine catalogue4 ,douce and ,malone the critics1 and ,gough the antiquary1 left their libraries to the ,bodleian1 and thus many valuable books are available to students in that much-loved resort of his at ,oxford4 ,anthony ,morris ,storer1 who is said to have excelled in everything he set his heart on and hand to1 collected a beautiful library1 which he bequeathed to ,eton ,college1 where it still remains1 a joy to look at from the elegance of the bindings4 ,his friend ,lord ,carlisle wrote of him-- ,whether ,i ,storer sing in hours of joy1 ,when every look bespeaks the inward boy2 ,or when no more mirth wantons in his breast1 ,and all the man in him appears confest2 ,in mirth1 in sadness1 sing him how ,i will1 ,sense and good nature must attend him still4 ,jacob ,bryant the antiquary left his library to ,king's ,college1 ,cambridge4 ,at one time he intended to have followed ,storer's example1 and have left it to ,eton ,college1 but the ,provost offended him1 and he changed the object of his bequest4 ,it is said that when he was discussing the matter1 the ,provost asked whether he would not arrange for the payment of the carriage of the books from his house to ,eton4 ,he thought this grasping1 and ,king's gained the benefit of his change of mind4 ,among great authors two of the chief collectors were ,scott and ,southey4 ,scott's library still remains at ,abbotsford1 and no one who has ever entered that embodiment of the great man's soul can ever forget it4 ,the library1 with the entire contents of the house1 were restored to ,scott in #ahcj by his trustees and creditors1 ,as the best means the creditors have of expressing their very high sense of his most honourable conduct1 and in grateful acknowledgment of the unparalleled and most successful exertions he has made1 and continues to make for them4 ,the library is rich in the subjects which the great author loved1 such as ,demonology and ,witchcraft4 ,in a volume of a collection of ,ballads and ,chapbooks is this note written by ,scott in #ahaj3 ,this little collection of stall tracts and ballads was formed by me1 when a boy1 from the baskets of the travelling pedlars4 ,until put into its present decent binding1 it had such charms for the servants1 that it was repeatedly1 and with difficulty1 recovered from their clutches4 ,it contains most of the pieces that were popular about thirty years since1 and ,i dare say many that could not now be procured for any price4 ,it is odd to contrast the book-loving tastes of celebrated authors4 ,southey cared for his books1 but ,coleridge would cut the leaves of a book with a butter knife1 and ,de ,quincey's extraordinary treatment of books is well described by ,mr4 ,burton in the ,book ,hunter4 ,charles ,lamb's loving appreciation of his books is known to all readers of the delightful ,elia4 ,southey collected more than #ad1jjj volumes1 which sold in #ahdd for nearly #cjjj4 ,he began collecting as a boy1 for his father had but few books4 ,mr4 ,edwards enumerates these as follows3 ,the ,spectator1 three or four volumes of the ,oxford ,magazine1 one volume of the ,freeholder's ,magazine1 and one of the ,town and ,country ,magazine1 ,pomfret's ,poems1 the ,death of ,abel1 nine plays 7including ,julius ,csar1 ,the ,indian ,queen1 and a translation of ,merope71 and a pamphlet4#ab ,southey was probably one of the most representative of literary men4 ,his feelings in his library are those of all book-lovers1 although he could express these feelings in language which few of them have at command3-- ,my days among the dead are passed2 ,around me ,i behold1 ,where'er these casual eyes are cast1 ,the mighty

agreed upon being that it is the duty of the librarian to buy his books as cheaply as possible4 ,some of these views are stated by ,mr4 ,h4,r4 ,tedder in a letter printed in the ,library ,chronicle for ,july1 #ahhd 7vol4 i4 p4 #abj74 ,it appears that ,professor ,dziatzko contends that the books should always be bought as cheaply as possible1 but that ,dr4 ,julius ,petzholdt holds the opinion that the chief object of the librarian should be to get his books as early as possible and not to wait until they can be had at second-hand4 ,mr4 ,tedder thinks that the two plans of rapidity of supply and cheapness of cost can in some respect be united4 ,of course there can be no difference of opinion in respect to the duty of the librarian to get as much for his money as he can1 but there are other points which require to be considered besides those brought forward before a satisfactory answer to the question--,how to ,buy8 can be obtained4 ,there are three points which seem to have been very much overlooked in the discussion1 which may be stated here4 #a4 ,is the librarian's valuable time well occupied by looking after cheap copies of books8 #b4 ,will not the proposed action on the part of librarians go far to abolish the intelligent second-hand bookseller in the same way as the new bookseller has been well-nigh abolished in consequence of large discounts8 #c4 ,will not such action prevent the publication of excellent books on subjects little likely to be popular8 #a4 ,most librarians find their time pretty well occupied by the ordinary duties of buying1 arranging1 cataloguing1 and finding the books under their charge1 and it will be generally allowed that the librarian's first duty is to be in his library1 ready to attend to those who wish to consult him4 ,now the value of his time can be roughly estimated for this purpose in money1 and the value of the time spent in doing work which could be as well or better done by a bookseller should fairly be added to the cost of the books4 #b4 ,it has hitherto been thought advisable to have one or more second-hand booksellers attached to an important library1 from whom the librarian may naturally expect to obtain such books as he requires4 ,of course a man of knowledge and experience must be paid for the exercise of these qualities1 but the price of books is so variable that it is quite possible that the bookseller1 from his knowledge1 may buy the required books cheaper than the librarian himself would pay for them4 ,as far as it is possible to judge from the information given us respecting the collection of libraries1 bookbuyers have little to complain of as to the price paid by them to such respectable booksellers as have acted as their agents4 ,perhaps too little stress has been laid upon that characteristic which is happily so common among honest men1 viz4 that the agent is as pleased to get wares cheap for a good customer as for himself4 ,mr4 ,tedder says in his letter1 ,for rarer books ,i still consider it safer and cheaper in the long run to cultivate business relations with one or more second-hand booksellers1 and pay them for their knowledge and experience4 ,but is this quite fair1 and is it not likely that the rarer books will be supplied cheaper if the bookseller is allowed to pay himself partly out of the sale of the commoner books1 which it is now proposed the librarian shall buy himself8 ,my contention is that it is for the advantage of libraries that intelligent booksellers1 ready to place their knowledge at the service of the librarians1 should exist1 and it is unwise and uneconomic to do that which may cause this class to cease to exist4 ,sellers of books must always exist1 but it is possible to drive out of the trade those who do it the most honour4 ,we see what has occurred in the new book trade1 and there can be little doubt that the book-buyer loses much more than he gains by the present system of discount4 ,when the bookseller could obtain sufficient profit by the sale of new books to keep his shop open1 it was worth his while to take some trouble in finding the book required2 but now that the customer expects to buy a book at trade price1 he cannot be surprised if he does not give full particulars as to the publisher of the book he requires if it is reported to him as not known4 ,those only who1 by taking a large quantity of copies1 obtain an extra discount1 can make new bookselling pay4 #c4 ,there are a large number of books which1 although real additions to literature1 can only be expected to obtain a small number of readers and buyers4 ,some of these are not taken by the circulating libraries1 and publishers1 in making their calculations1 naturally count upon supplying some of the chief libraries of the country4 ,if these libraries wait till the book is second-hand1 the number of sales is likely to be so much reduced that it is not worth while to publish the book at all1 to the evident damage of the cause of learning4 ,it has been often suggested that an arrangement should be made by libraries in close proximity1 so that the same expensive book should not be bought by more than one of the libraries4 ,no doubt this is advantageous in certain circumstances1 but in the case of books with a limited sale it would have the same consequence as stated above1 and the book would not be published at all1 or be published at a loss4 ,selden wrote in his ,table ,talk3 ,the giving a bookseller his price for his books has this advantage2 he that will do so1 shall have the refusal of whatsoever comes to his hand1 and so by that means get many things which otherwise he never should have seen4 ,and the dictum is as true now as it was in his time4 ,many special points arise for consideration when we deal with the question--,how to buy at sales8 and ,mr4 ,edward ,edwards gives the following four rules for the guidance of the young book-buyer 7,memoirs of ,libraries1 vol4 ii4 p4 #fde73 #a4 ,the examination of books before the sale1 not during it4 #b4 ,a steady unintermittent bidding up to his predetermined limit1 for all the books which he wants1 from the first lot to the last2 and--if there be any signs of a combination--for a few others which he may not want4 #c4 ,careful avoidance of all interruptions and conversation2 with especial watchfulness of the hammer immediately after the disposal of those especially seductive lots1 which may have excited a keen and spirited competition4 7,there is usually on such occasions a sort of lull1 very favourable to the acquisition of good bargains47 #d4 ,the uniform preservation and storing up of priced catalogues of all important sales for future reference4 ,a case of conscience arises as to whether it is fit and proper for two buyers to agree not to oppose each other at a public sale4 ,mr4 ,edwards says1 ,at the sales ,lord ,spencer was a liberal opponent as well as a liberal bidder4 ,when ,mason's books were sold1 for example1 in #agih1 ,lord ,spencer agreed with the ,duke of ,roxburghe that they would not oppose each other1 in bidding for some books of excessive rarity1 but when both were very earnest in their longings1 toss up1 after the book was bought1 to see who should win it4 ,thus it was that the ,duke obtained his unique1 but imperfect1 copy of ,caxton's ,historye of ,kynge ,blanchardyn and ,prince ,eglantyne1 which1 however1 came safely to ,althorp fourteen years later1 at a cost of two hundred and fifteen pounds2 the ,duke having given but twenty guineas4#ac ,it is easy to understand the inducement which made these two giants agree not to oppose each other1 but the agreement was dangerously like a knock-out4 ,mr4 ,henry ,stevens 7in his ,recollections of ,mr4 ,james ,lenox7 boldly deals with this question1 and condemns any such agreement4 ,he writes1 ,shortly after1 in #ahej1 there occurred for sale at the same auction rooms a copy of ',aratus1 ,phaenomena1' ,paris1 #aeei1 in #do1 with a few manuscript notes1 and this autograph signature on the title1 ',jo4 ,milton1 ,pre4 #bs4 #f;d4 #afca4' ,this ,i thought would be a desirable acquisition for ,mr4 ,lenox1 and accordingly ,i ventured to bid for it as far as #dj1 against my late opponent for the ,drake ,map1 but he secured it at #dj #ajs41 remarking that ',mr4 ,panizzi will not thank you for1 thus running the ,british ,museum4' ',that remark1' ,i replied1 'is apparently one of your gratuities4 ,mr4 ,panizzi is1 ,i think1 too much a man of the world to grumble at a fair fight4 ,he has won this time1 though at considerable cost1 and ,i am sure ,mr4 ,lenox will be the first to congratulate him on securing such a prize for the ,british ,museum4' ',i did not know you were bidding for ,mr4 ,lenox4' ',it was not necessary that you should4' ',perhaps at another time1' said he1 'we may arrange the matter beforehand1 so as not to oppose each other4' ',very well1' ,i replied1 'if you will bring me a note from ,mr4 ,panizzi something to this effect3 ',mr4 ,stevens1 please have a knock-out with the bearer1 the agent of the ,british ,museum1 on lot 99991 and greatly oblige ,mr4 ,john ,bull and your obdt4 servant1 ,a4,p41' ,i will consider the proposition1 and if ,mr4 ,lenox1 or any other of my interested correspondents1 is not unwilling to combine or conspire to rob or cheat the proprietors1 the 'thing' may possibly be done4 ,meanwhile1 until this arrangement is concluded1 let us hold our tongues and pursue an honest course4' ,that man never again suggested to me to join him in a 'knock-out4' ,in another place ,mr4 ,stevens relates his own experience as to holding two commissions1 and the necessity of buying the book above the amount of the lowest of the two4 ,the circumstance relates to a copy of the small octavo ,latin edition of the ,columbus ,letter1 in eight leaves1 at the first ,libri sale1 ,feb4 #ai1 #ahdi4 ,mr4 ,stevens writes1 ,mr4 ,brown ordered this lot with a limit of #be guineas1 and ,mr4 ,lenox of #be4 ,now as my chief correspondents had been indulged with a good deal of liberty1 scarcely ever considering their orders completely executed till they had received the books and decided whether or not they would keep them1 ,i grew into the habit of considering all purchases my own until accepted and paid for4 ,consequently when positive orders were given1 which was very seldom1 ,i grew likewise into the habit of buying the lot as cheaply as possible1 and then awarding it to the correspondent who gave the highest limit4 ,this is not always quite fair to the owner2 but in my case it would have been unfair to myself to make my clients compete1 as not unfrequently the awarded lot was declined and had to go to another4 ,well1 in the case of this ,columbus ,letter1 though ,i had five or six orders1 ,i purchased it for #af #ajs41 and1 accordingly1 as had been done many times before within the last five or six years without a grumble1 ,i awarded it to the highest limit1 and sent the little book to ,mr4 ,john ,carter ,brown4 ,hitherto1 in cases of importance1 ,mr4 ,lenox had generally been successful1 because he usually gave the highest limit4 ,but in this case he rebelled4 ,he wrote that the book had gone under his commission of #be1 that he knew nobody else in the transaction1 and that he insisted on having it1 or he should at once transfer his orders to some one else4 ,i endeavoured to vindicate my conduct by stating our long-continued practice1 with which he was perfectly well acquainted1 but without success4 ,he grew more and more peremptory1 insisting on having the book solely on the ground that it went under his limit4 ,at length1 after some months of negotiation1 ,mr4 ,brown1 on being made acquainted with the whole correspondence1 very kindly1 to relieve me of the dilemma1 sent the book to ,mr4 ,lenox without a word of comment or explanation1 except that1 though it went also below his higher limit1 he yielded it to ,mr4 ,lenox for peace4444 ,from that time ,i resorted1 in cases of duplicate orders from them1 to the expedient of always putting the lot in at one bid above the lower limit1 which1 after all1 ,i believe is the fairer way in the case of positive orders4 ,this sometimes cost one of them a good deal more money1 but it abated the chafing and generally gave satisfaction4 ,both thought the old method the fairest when they got the prize4 ,but ,i was obliged1 on the new system of bidding1 to insist on the purchaser keeping the book without the option of returning it4 ,there can be no doubt that the latter plan was the most satisfactory4 ,some persons appear to be under the impression that whatever a book fetches at a public sale must be its true value1 and that1 as the encounter is open and public1 too much is not likely to be paid by the buyer2 but this is a great mistake1 and prices are often realized at a good sale which are greatly in advance of those at which the same books are standing unsold in second-hand booksellers' shops4 ,much knowledge is required by those who wish to buy with success at sales4 ,books vary greatly in price at different periods1 and it is a mistake to suppose1 from the high prices realized at celebrated sales1 which are quoted in all the papers1 that books are constantly advancing in price4 ,although many have gone up1 many others have gone down1 and at no time probably were good and useful books to be bought so cheap as now4 ,if we look at old sale catalogues we shall find early printed books1 specimens of old ,english poetry and the drama1 fetching merely a fraction of what would have to be given for them now2 but1 on the other hand1 we shall find pounds then given for standard books which would not now realize the same number of shillings2 this is specially the case with classics4 ,the following passage from ,hearne's ,diaries on the fluctuations in prices is of interest in this connection3--,the editions of ,classicks of the first print 7commonly called editones principes7 that used to go at prodigious prices are now strangely lowered2 occasioned in good measure by ,mr4 ,thomas ,rawlinson1 my friend1 being forced to sell many of his books1 in whose auction these books went cheap1 tho' ,english history and antiquities went dear3 and yet this gentleman was the chief man that raised many curious and classical books so high1 by his generous and courageous way of bidding4#ad ,these first editions1 however1 realize large prices at the present time1 as has been seen at the sale of the ,sunderland ,library4 ,it is experience only that will give the necessary knowledge to the book buyer1 and no rules laid down in books can be of any real practical value in this case4 ,persons who know nothing of books are too apt to suppose that what they are inclined to consider exorbitant prices are matters of caprice1 but this is not so4 ,there is generally a very good reason for the high price4 ,we must remember that year by year old and curious books become scarcer1 and the number of libraries where they are locked up increase2 thus while the demand is greater1 the supply diminishes1 and the price naturally becomes higher4 ,a unique first edition of a great author is surely a possession to be proud of1 and it is no ignoble ambition to wish to obtain it4 ,,footnotes3 #ac ,libraries and ,founders of ,libraries1 #ahfd1 p4 #djd4 #ad ,reliqui ,hearnian1 #ahfi1 vol4 ii4 p4 #aeh4 ,,chapter ,,iii4 ,,public ,,libraries4 ,libraries may broadly be divided into ,public and ,private1 and as private libraries will vary according to the special idiosyncrasies of their owners1 so still more will public libraries vary in character according to the public they are intended for4 ,the answer therefore to the question--,how to form a ,public ,library8--must depend upon the character of the library which it is proposed to form4 ,up to the period when free town libraries were first formed1 collections of books were usually intended for students2 but when the ,public ,libraries' ,acts were passed1 a great change took place1 and libraries being formed for general readers1 and largely with the object of fostering the habit of reading1 an entirely new idea of libraries came into existence4 ,the old idea of a library was that of a place where books that were wanted could be found1 but the new idea is that of an educational establishment1 where persons who know little or nothing of books can go to learn what to read4 ,the new idea has naturally caused a number of points to be discussed which were never thought of before4 ,but even in ,town ,libraries there will be great differences4 ,thus in such places as ,birmingham1 ,liverpool1 and ,manchester1 the ,free ,libraries should be smaller ,british ,museums1 and in this spirit their founders have worked2 but in smaller and less important towns a more modest object has to be kept in view1 and the wants of readers1 more than those of consulters of books1 have to be considered4 ,mr4 ,beriah ,botfield has given a very full account of the contents of the libraries spread about the country and associated with the different ,cathedrals in his ,notes on the ,cathedral ,libraries of ,england1 #ahdi4 ,these libraries have mostly been formed upon the same plan1 and consist very largely of the works of the ,fathers1 and of old ,divinity4 ,some contain also old editions of the classics1 and others fine early editions of ,english authors4 ,in former times these libraries were much neglected1 and many of the books were lost2 but the worst instance of injury to a library occurred at ,lincoln at the beginning of the present century1 when a large number of ,caxtons1 ,pynsons1 ,wynkyn de ,wordes1 etc41 were sold to ,dr4 ,dibdin1 and modern books purchased for the library with the proceeds4 ,dibdin printed a list of his treasures under the title of ,the ,lincolne ,nosegay4 ,mr4 ,botfield has reprinted this catalogue in his book4 ,the first chapter of the ,united ,states ,report on ,public ,libraries is devoted to ,public ,libraries a hundred years ago4 ,mr4 ,h4,e4 ,scudder there describes some ,american libraries which were founded in the last century4 ,one of these was the ,loganian ,library of ,philadelphia4 ,here is an extract from the will of ,james ,logan1 the founder-- ,in my library1 which ,i have left to the city of ,philadelphia for the advancement and facilitating of classical learning1 are above one hundred volumes of authors1 in folio1 all in ,greek1 with mostly their versions4 ,all the ,roman classics without exception4 ,all the ,greek mathematicians1 viz4 ,archimedes1 ,euclid1 ,ptolemy1 both his ,geography and ,almagest1 which ,i had in ,greek 7with ,theon's ,commentary1 in folio1 above #gjj pages7 from my learned friend ,fabricius1 who published fourteen volumes of his ,bibliothque ,grecque1 in quarto1 in which1 after he had finished his account of ,ptolemy1 on my inquiring of him at ,hamburgh1 how ,i should find it1 having long sought for it in vain in ,england1 he sent it to me out of his own library1 telling me it was so scarce that neither prayers nor price could purchase it2 besides1 there are many of the most valuable ,latin authors1 and a great number of modern mathematicians1 with all the three editions of ,newton1 ,dr4 ,watts1 ,halley1 etc4 ,the inscription on the house of the ,philadelphia ,library is well worthy of repetition here4 ,it was prepared by ,franklin1 with the exception of the reference to himself1 which was inserted by the ,committee4 ,be it remembered1 in honor of the ,philadelphia youth 7then chiefly artificers71 that in ,,mdccxxxi they cheerfully1 at the instance of ,,benjamin ,,franklin1 one of their number1 instituted the ,philadelphia ,library1 which1 though small at first1 is become highly valuable and extensively useful1 and which the walls of this edifice are now destined to contain and preserve3 the first stone of whose foundation was here placed the thirty-first day of ,august1 #aghi4 ,mr4 ,f4,b4 ,perkins1 of the ,boston ,public ,library1 contributed to the ,report on ,public ,libraries in the ,united ,states a useful chapter on ,how to make ,town ,libraries successful 7pp4 #dai-dcj74 ,the two chief points upon which he lays particular stress1 and which may be said to form the texts for his practical remarks1 are3 7#a7 that a ,public ,library for popular use must be managed not only as a literary institution1 but also as a business concern2 and 7#b7 that it is a mistake to choose books of too thoughtful or solid a character4 ,he says1 ,it is vain to go on the principle of collecting books that people ought to read1 and afterwards trying to coax them to read them4 ,the only practical method is to begin by supplying books that people already want to read1 and afterwards to do whatever shall be found possible to elevate their reading tastes and habits4 ,a series of articles on ,how to ,start ,libraries in ,small ,towns was published in the ,library ,journal 7vol4 i4 pp4 #afa1 #bac1 #bdi1 #cac1 #cee1 #dba71 and ,mr4 ,axon's ,hints on the ,formation of ,small ,libraries has already been mentioned4 ,we must not be too rigid in the use of the term ,public ,libraries1 and we should certainly include under this description those institutional ,libraries which1 although primarily intended for the use of the ,members of the ,societies to which they belong1 can usually be consulted by students who are properly introduced4 ,of ,public ,libraries first in order come the great libraries of a nation1 such as the ,british ,museum4 ,these are supplied by means of the ,copyright ,law1 but the librarians are not from this cause exonerated from the troubles attendant on the formation of a library4 ,there are old books and privately printed and foreign books to be bought1 and it is necessary that the most catholic spirit should be displayed by the librarians4 ,the same may be said in a lesser degree of the great libraries of the more important towns4 ,in ,england the ,universities have noble libraries1 more especially those of ,oxford and ,cambridge1 but although some colleges possess fine collections of books1 college libraries are not as a rule kept up to a very high standard4 ,the ,united ,states ,report contains a full account of the college libraries in ,america 7pp4 #fj-abf74 ,the libraries of societies are to a large extent special ones1 and my brother1 the late ,mr4 ,b4,r4 ,wheatley1 in a paper read before the ,conference of ,librarians1 #ahgg1 entitled ,hints on ,library ,management1 so far as relates to the ,circulation of ,books1 particularly alluded to this fact4 ,he wrote1 ,our library is really a medical and surgical section of a great ,public ,library4 ,taking the five great classes of literature1 ,i suppose medicine and its allied sciences may be considered as forming a thirtieth of the whole1 and1 as our books number #cj1jjj1 we are1 as it were1 a complete section of a ,public ,library of nearly a million volumes in extent4 ,the ,united ,states ,report contains several chapters on special libraries1 thus chapter #b is devoted to those of ,schools and ,asylums2 #d1 to ,theological ,libraries2 #e1 to ,law2 #f1 to ,medical2 and #g1 to ,scientific ,libraries4 ,for the formation of special libraries1 special bibliographies will be required1 and for information on this subject reference should be made to ,chapter ,,vi4 of the present work4 ,when we come to deal with the ,free ,public ,libraries1 several ethical questions arise1 which do not occur in respect to other libraries4 ,one of the most pressing of these questions refers to the amount of ,fiction read by the ordinary frequenters of these libraries4 ,this point is alluded to in the ,united ,states ,report on ,public ,libraries4 ,mr4 ,j4,p4 ,quincy1 in the chapter on ,free ,libraries 7p4 #chi71 writes1 ,surely a state which lays heavy taxes upon the citizen in order that children may be taught to read is bound to take some interest in what they read2 and its representatives may well take cognizance of the fact that an increased facility for obtaining works of sensational fiction is not the special need of our country at the close of the first century of its independence4 ,he mentions a free library in ,germanstown1 ,pa41 sustained by the liberality of a religious body1 and frequented by artisans and working people of both sexes4 ,it had been in existence six years in #ahgf1 and then contained #gjjj volumes4 ,no novels are admitted into the library4 ,the following is a passage from the librarian's report of #ahgd3 ,in watching the use of our library as it is more and more resorted to by the younger readers of our community1 ,i have been much interested in its influence in weaning them from a desire for works of fiction4 ,on first joining the library1 the new comers often ask for such books1 but failing to procure them1 and having their attention turned to works of interest and instruction1 in almost every instance they settle down to good reading and cease asking for novels4 ,i am persuaded that much of this vitiated taste is cultivated by the purveyors to the reading classes1 and that they are responsible for an appetite they often profess to deplore1 but continue to cater to1 under the plausible excuse that the public will have such works4 ,mr4 ,justin ,winsor in chapter #bj 7,reading in ,popular ,libraries7 expresses a somewhat different view4 ,he writes1 ,every year many young readers begin their experiences with the library4 ,they find all the instructive reading they ought to have in their school books1 and frequent the library for story books4 ,these swell the issues of fiction1 but they prevent the statistics of that better reading into which you have allured the older ones1 from telling as they should in the average4 ,at the ,london ,conference of ,librarians 7#ahgg71 ,mr4 ,p4 ,cowell1 ,librarian of the ,liverpool ,public ,library1 read a paper on the admission of ,fiction in ,free ,public ,libraries1 where he discussed the subject in a very fair manner1 and deplored the high percentage of novel reading in these libraries4 ,at the ,second ,annual ,meeting of the ,library ,association 7#ahgi7 ,mr4 ,j4 ,taylor ,kay1 ,librarian of ,owens ,college1 ,manchester1 in his paper on the ,provision of ,novels in ,rate-supported ,libraries1 more completely condemned this provision4 ,he concluded his paper with these words3 ,clearly a hard and fast line must be drawn4 ,a distinct refusal by the library committees to purchase a single novel or tale would be appreciated by the rate-payers4 ,the suggestion of a sub-committee to read this literature would not be tolerated1 and no man whose time is of value would undergo the infliction4 ,the libraries would attain their true position1 and the donations would certainly be of a higher class1 if the aims of the committees were known to be higher4 ,manchester has already curtailed its issues of novels4 ,it has been in the vanguard on the education question3 and let us hope it will be true to its traditions1 to its noble impulses1 and lead the van in directing the educational influence of the free libraries1 and striking out altogether any expenditure in the dissemination of this literature4 ,this question probably would not have come to the front if it were not that the educational value of ,free ,libraries1 as the complement of ,board ,schools1 has been very properly put forward by their promoters4 ,with this aim in view1 it does startle one somewhat to see the completely disproportionate supply of novels in the ,free ,libraries4 ,this often rises to #ge per cent4 of the total supply1 and in some libraries even a higher percentage has been reached4 ,there are1 however1 exceptions4 ,at the ,baltimore ,peabody ,institute ,fiction did not rise to more than one-tenth of the total reading4 ,the following are some figures of subjects circulated at that library above #ajjj3-- ,belles ,lettres #deih ,fiction #ciii ,biography #bjjc ,greek and ,latin ,classics #abfe ,history 7,american7 #aacg ,law #ajea ,natural ,history #agch ,theology #aafh ,periodicals 7,literary7 #dgbh ,periodicals 7,scientific7 #adff ,mr4 ,cowell says that during the year ending #cast ,august1 #ahgg1 #dec1ehe volumes were issued at the reference library alone 7,liverpool ,free ,public ,library72 of these #agj1eca were strictly novels4 ,the high-percentage of novel reading is not confined to ,free ,public ,libraries1 for we find that in the ,odd ,fellows' ,library of ,san ,francisco1 in #ahgd1 #fd1eji volumes of ,prose ,fiction were lent out of a total of #gh1bai4 ,the other high figures being ,essays1 #bbhj2 ,history1 #ahbc2 ,biography and ,travels1 #affd4 ,in the ,college of the ,city of ,new ,york1 of the books taken out by students between ,nov4 #ahgf1 and ,nov4 #ahgg1 #ajdc volumes were ,novels1 the next highest numbers were ,science1 #aec2 ,poetry1 #acc2 ,history1 #acj4ae ,in considering this question one naturally asks if the masterpieces of our great authors1 which every one should read1 are to be mixed up with the worthless novels constantly being published in the condemnation of ,fiction2 but1 to some extent1 both ,mr4 ,cowell and ,mr4 ,kay answer this4 ,the first of these gentlemen writes3 ,as to the better class novels1 which are so graphic in their description of places1 costumes1 pageantry1 men1 and events1 ,i regret to say that they are not the most popular with those who stand in need of their instructive descriptions4 ,i could generally find upon the library shelves ',harold1' ',the ,last of the ,barons1' ',westward ,ho6' ',hypatia1' ',ivanhoe1' ',waverley1' ',lorna ,doone1' etc41 when not a copy of the least popular of the works of ,mrs4 ,henry ,wood1 ',ouida1' ,miss ,braddon1 or ,rhoda ,broughton were to be had4 ,mr4 ,kay corroborates this opinion in his paper4 ,most of us recognize the value of honest fiction for children and the overwrought brains of busy men1 but the reading of novels of any kind can only be justified as a relaxation1 and it is a sad fact that there is a large class of persons who will read nothing but novels and who call all other books dry reading4 ,upon the minds of this class fiction has a most enervating effect1 and it is not to be expected that ratepayers will desire to increase this class by the indiscriminate supply of novels to the ,free ,libraries4 ,some persons are so sanguine as to believe that readers will be gradually led from the lower species of reading to the higher2 but there is little confirmation of this hope to be found in the case of the confirmed novel readers we see around us4 ,the librarian who1 with ample funds for the purpose1 has the duty before him of forming a ,public ,library1 sets forward on a pleasant task4 ,he has the catalogues of all kinds of libraries to guide him1 and he will be able to purchase the groundwork of his library at a very cheap rate1 for probably at no time could sets of standard books be bought at so low a price as now4 ,many books that are not wanted by private persons are indispensable for a ,public ,library1 and there being little demand for them they can be obtained cheap4 ,when the groundwork has been carefully laid1 then come some of the difficulties of collecting4 ,books specially required will not easily be obtained1 and when they are found1 the price will probably be a high one4 ,books of reference will be expensive1 and as these soon get out of date1 they will frequently need renewal4 ,,footnotes3 #ae ,library ,journal1 vol4 ii4 p4 #gj4 ,,chapter ,,iv4 ,,private ,,libraries4 ,treating of private libraries1 it will be necessary to consider their constitution under two heads1 according as they are required in town or country4 ,in ,london1 for instance1 where libraries of all kinds are easily accessible1 a man need only possess books on his own particular hobby1 and a good collection of books of reference2 but in the country1 away from public libraries1 a well-selected collection of standard books will be necessary4 #a4 ,town4 ,every one who loves books will be sure to have some favourite authors on special subjects of study respecting which he needs no instruction farther than that which is ready to his hand4 ,books on these subjects he will need1 both in town and country1 if he possesses two houses4 ,some collectors make their town house a sort of gathering-place for the accessions to their country libraries4 ,here a class is completed1 bound1 and put in order1 and then sent to the country to find its proper place in the family library4 ,this is an age of books of reference1 and as knowledge increases1 and the books which impart it to readers become unwieldy from their multitude1 there are sure to be forthcoming those who will reduce the facts into a handy form4 ,i have gathered in the following pages the titles of some of the best books of reference which are to be obtained4 ,many1 if not all of these1 are to be found in that magnificent library of reference--the ,reading ,room of the ,british ,museum4 ,in some cases where the books are constantly being reprinted1 dates have been omitted4 ,there are1 doubtless1 many valuable works which ,i have overlooked1 and some ,text-books ,i have had to leave out owing to the exigencies of space1 but ,i trust that the present list will be found useful4 ,abbreviations4--,dictionnaire des ,abrviations

,annandale4#af ,the vocabulary is very full1 the etymology is trustworthy1 and the definitions are clear and satisfactory4 ,the engravings which are interspersed with the text are excellent1 and greatly add to the utility of the ,dictionary4 ,for years preparations have been made for a ,standard ,english ,dictionary1 and at last the work has been commenced under the able editorship of ,dr4 ,james ,a4,h4 ,murray4 ,in #aheg1 on the suggestion of ,archbishop ,trench1 the ,philological ,society undertook the preparation of a ,dictionary1 which by the completeness of its vocabulary1 and by the application of the historical method to the life and use of words1 might be worthy of the ,english language and of ,english scholarship4 ,the late ,mr4 ,herbert ,coleridge and ,dr4 ,furnivall undertook the editorship1 and a large number of volunteers came forward to read books and extract quotations4 ,mr4 ,coleridge died in the midst of his work1 and upon ,dr4 ,furnivall devolved the entire editorship in addition to his other onerous duties as ,secretary of the ,philological ,society4 ,he projected the admirable system of sub-editing1 which proved so successful4 ,as the work proceeded several of the most energetic and most competent workers undertook to sub-edit the materials already collected1 each one taking a separate letter of the alphabet4 ,some two million quotations were amassed1 but still the man was wanting who would devote his life to forming the ,dictionary from these materials4 ,in course of time ,dr4 ,murray came forward1 and in #ahgh he prepared some specimens for submission to the ,delegates of the ,clarendon ,press1 who agreed to publish the ,dictionary4 ,the first part was published in #ahhd1 and the second in #ahhe4ag ,it is hoped that in future it will be possible to issue a part every six months4 ,at present the alphabet is carried down to ,batten4 ,this is one of the most magnificent pieces of work that has ever been produced in any country1 and it is an honour to every one concerned4 ,to the ,philological ,society who conceived it1 to ,dr4 ,murray and his staff who have devoted so much labour and intellect to its production1 and to the ,clarendon ,press who have published it to the world4 ,it is1 moreover1 an honour to the country which now possesses a well-grounded hope of having1 at no distant day1 the finest ,historical ,dictionary ever produced4 ,in this connection the ,encyclopdic ,dictionary1 now in course of publication by ,messrs4 ,cassell1 should be mentioned as a valuable work4 ,up to a few years ago it was impossible to obtain any satisfactory etymological information on ,english words from our ,dictionaries4 ,mr4 ,hensleigh ,wedgwood partly removed this reproach by the publication of his very valuable ,dictionary of ,english ,etymology in #ahei1ah but in this work ,mr4 ,wedgwood only dealt with a portion of the vocabulary4 ,professor ,skeat commenced the publication of his indispensable ,etymological ,dictionary of the ,english ,language 7,clarendon ,press7 in #ahgi1 and in #ahhd he produced a second edition4 ,in #ahhb ,professor ,skeat published ,a ,concise ,etymological ,dictionary1 which is something more than an abridgment1 and a book which should find a place in all libraries of reference4 ,a ,glossarial ,index to the ,printed ,english ,literature of the

#cs4 #f;d47 is one of the most valuable4 ,i have time after time found words there which ,i have searched for in vain in more important looking ,dictionaries4 ,mr4 ,clarke claims that he was the first to raise the number of words registered in an ,english ,dictionary to #ajj1jjj4 ,the ,rev4 ,james ,stormonth's ,dictionary of the ,english ,language1 ,pronouncing1 ,etymological1 and ,explanatory1 is a work of great value4 ,it is so well arranged and printed that it becomes a pleasure to consult it4 ,those who are interested in ,dialects will require all the special ,dictionaries which have been published1 and these may be found in the ,bibliography now being compiled by the ,english ,dialect ,society1 but those who do not make this a special study will be contented with ,a ,dictionary of

,princess of ,cleves included1 while ,shakespeare is only to be found in a selection of his plays4 ,it is not ,comte's fault that science has not stood still since #ahed1 and that his selection of books is rather out of date4 ,a list of a hundred good novels is likely to be useful to many1 but few lists would be open to more criticism1 for readers differ more as to what constitutes a good novel

will also be of great use in a private library when its possessor is a true lover of books4 ,one of the most valuable catalogues of this class of books is the ,hand-,list of ,bibliographies1 ,classified ,catalogues1 and ,indexes placed in the ,reading ,room of the ,british ,museum for ,reference 7#ahha74 ,it is not intended to give in this chapter anything like a complete account of these books1 as a separate volume would be required to do justice to them4 ,here it will be sufficient to indicate some of the foremost works in the class4 ,the catalogues of some of our chief libraries are amongst the most valuable of bibliographies for reference4 ,the ,catalogue of the ,library of the ,london ,institution is one of the handsomest ever produced4#ai ,unfortunately the cost of production was too great for the funds of the ,institution1 and the elaborate ,catalogue of ,tracts was discontinued after the letter ,f4 ,the ,london ,library being a specially well-selected one1 the catalogue 7which is a good example of a short-titled catalogue7 is particularly useful for ready reference4#bj ,the ,royal ,institution ,library is very rich in ,british ,topography1 and the catalogue forms a convenient handbook4#ba ,the ,catalogue of the ,patent ,office ,library is by no means a model1 but the second volume forms a good book of reference4#bb ,many other catalogues might be mentioned1 but these will be sufficient for our present purpose4 ,there is great want of a good ,handbook of ,literature1 with the prices of the different books4 ,until this want is supplied good booksellers' catalogues will be found the most trustworthy guides4 ,pre-eminent among these are the catalogues of ,mr4 ,quaritch1 and the ,catalogue of upwards of fifty thousand volumes of ancient and modern books1 published by ,messrs4 ,willis and ,sotheran in #ahfb4 ,mr4 ,quaritch's catalogues are classified with an index of subjects and authors4#bc ,a previous ,general ,catalogue was issued in #ahgd1 and a ,supplement #ahge-gg 7pp4 iv4 #afgb74 ,now ,mr4 ,quaritch is issuing in sections a new ,catalogue on a still larger scale1 which is of the greatest value4 ,for the study of early printed books1 ,hain1#bd ,panzer1#be and ,maittaire's#bf books are indispensable4 ,for general literature ,brunet's ,manual#bg stands pre-eminent in its popularity4 ,it has held its own since #ahaj1 when it was first published in three volumes1 demy octavo4 ,graesse's ,trsor#bh is less known out of ,germany1 but it also is a work of very great value4 ,ebert's work#bi is somewhat out of date now1 but it still has its use4 ,watt's ,bibliotheca#cj is one of the most valuable bibliographies ever published1 chiefly on account of the index of subjects which gives information that cannot be found elsewhere4 ,the titles were largely taken from second-hand sources1 and are in many instances marred by misprints4 ,every one who uses it must wish that it was brought down to date1 but it is scarcely likely that any one will sacrifice a life to such labour as would be necessary4 ,moreover1 the popular feeling is somewhat adverse to universal bibliographies1 and it is thought that the literature of his own country is sufficiently large a subject for the bibliographer to devote his time to4 ,english literature has not been neglected by ,english bibliographers1 although a full bibliography of our authors is still a crying want4 ,complete lists of the works of some of our greatest authors have still to be made1 and it is to be hoped that all those who have the cause of bibliography at heart will join to remedy the great evil4 ,it would be quite possible to compile a really national work by a system of co-operation such as was found workable in the case of the ,philological ,society's ,dictionary of the ,english ,language4 ,sub-editors of the different letters might be appointed1 and to them all titles could be sent4 ,when the question of printing arose1 it would be well to commence with the chief authors4 ,these bibliographies might be circulated1 by which means many additions would be made to them1 and then they could be incorporated in the general alphabet4 ,in such a bibliography books in manuscript ought to be included1 as well as printed books4 ,although there is little doubt that many books still remain unregistered1 we are well supplied with catalogues of books made for trade purposes4 ,maunsell#ca was the first to publish such a list1 and in #afca was published a catalogue of books issued between #afbf and #afca4cb ,william ,london#cc published his ,catalogue in #afeh1 and ,clavell's his in #afif4cd ,bent's ,catalogue1 published in #aghf1 went back to #agjj1ce and this was continued annually as the ,london ,catalogue4 ,the ,british and ,english ,catalogues#cf followed1 and the latter is also published annually4#cg ,for early printed books1 ,ames and ,herbert's great work#ch is of much value1 but information respecting our old literature has increased so much of late that a new history of typographical antiquities is sadly needed4 ,mr4 ,blades has done the necessary work for ,caxton1 but the first ,english printer's successors require similar treatment4 ,william ,thomas ,lowndes1 the son of an eminent bookseller and publisher1 and himself a bookseller1 published in #ahcd his ,bibliographer's ,manual#ci which has remained the great authority for ,english ,literature4 ,it had become very scarce when ,henry ,bohn1 in #aheg1 brought out a new edition with additions in a series of handy volumes1 which is an indispensable book of reference1 although it is far from being the complete work that is required4 ,allibone's ,dictionary#dj contains much that is omitted in ,lowndes's ,manual1 but it is more literary than bibliographical in its scope4 ,the well-selected criticisms appended to the titles of the several books are of considerable interest and value to the reader4 ,mr4 ,w4,c4 ,hazlitt's ,handbooks#da are exceedingly valuable as containing information respecting a class of books which has been much neglected in bibliographical works4 ,the compiler has been indefatigable for some years past in registering the titles of rare books as they occurred at public sales4 ,mr4 ,collier's account of rare books1#db founded on his ,bridgewater ,catalogue 7#ahcg71 is of great use for information respecting out-of-the-way literature1 as also is ,mr4 ,corser's descriptive ,catalogue of ,old ,english ,poetry4#dc ,accounts of books published in ,gaelic1#dd in ,welsh1#de and in ,irish1#df have been published4 ,the works of ,american authors are included in ,allibone's ,dictionary1 referred to under ,english literature1 but special books have also been prepared1 such as ,trbner's ,guide1#dg ,stevens's ,american ,books in the ,british ,museum1#dh and ,leypoldt's great book1 the ,american ,catalogue4#di ,catalogues of ,books on ,america1 such as those of ,obadiah ,rich1 have also been compiled1 but these are more properly special bibliographies4 ,france has always stood in a foremost position in respect to bibliography1 and she alone has a national work on her literature1 which stands in the very first rank--this is due to the enthusiastic bibliographer ,querard4#ej ,a better model as to what a national bibliography should be could not well be found4 ,the catalogue of current literature1 which bears the name of ,o4 ,lorenz1 is also an excellent work4#ea ,german literature has been1 and is1 well registered4 ,heyse1#eb ,maltzahn1#ec ,heinsius1#ed and ,kayser1#ee have all produced valuable works4 ,heinsius published his original ,lexicon in #ahab1 and ,kayser his in #ahcd1 and ,supplements to both of these have been published about every ten years4 ,a more condensed work was commenced by ,a4 ,kirchhoff in #ahef1 containing the catalogue of works published from #ahea to #ahee2 a second volume of the next five years appeared in #ahfa1 and since ,kirchhoff's death ,hinrichs has published a volume every five years4 ,the ,leipzig ,book-fairs have had their catalogues ever since #aeid1 and the half-yearly volumes now bearing the name of ,hinrichs1#ef which have been published regularly since #agih1 and to which the ,fair catalogues succumbed in #ahee1 may be considered as their legitimate successors4 ,the ,literature of ,holland is well recorded by ,campbell#eg and ,abkoude1#eh and for ,belgium there is the ,bibliographie de ,belgique4#ei ,italy can boast of a ,gamba#fj and a ,bertocci1#fa and a public office publishes the ,bibliografia ,italiana4#fb ,spain is fortunate in possessing a splendid piece of bibliography in the great works of ,antonio4#fc ,some years ago1 when ,i was occupied in cataloguing one of the chief collections of ,spanish books in this country1 ,i was in the daily habit of consulting these ,bibliothecas1 and while comparing the books themselves with the printed titles1 ,i seldom found a mistake4 ,hidalgo's#fd work and the ,boletin#fe show that at the present time bibliography is not neglected in that country4 ,the works of ,barbosa ,machado#ff and ,silva#fg show that ,portugal is not behind the sister kingdom in the love for bibliography4 ,bibliographies of other countries might be mentioned here1 but space will not permit4 ,there is one branch of general bibliography to which special attention has been paid for a long period of years4 ,o4 ,placcius published his ,theatrum ,anonymorum et ,pseudonymorum at ,hamburgh in #afgd 7#bnd ed4 #agjh74 ,villani continued the record of pseudonymous literature by publishing at ,parma1 in #afhi1 a small volume entitled ,la ,visiera alzata4 ,j4,c4 ,mylius published his ,bibliotheca ,anonymorum et ,pseudonymorum at ,hamburgh in #agdj4 ,barbier's great work on the ,anonymous in ,french ,literature was first published in #ahjf-h1 the second edition appeared in #ahbb-bg1 and the third in #ahgb-gh1 as a continuation to the second edition of ,querard's ,les ,supercheries ,littraires4 ,querard's work is more curious than useful1 because the author has entered into minute questions of authorship which do not really belong to the domain of bibliography4 ,manne's volume 7#ahcd7 is not of much value4 ,lancetti published an octavo volume on ,pseudonyms in ,italian 7#ahcf71 but ,barbier's work was not worthily imitated in any

the books being printed for the members in small numbers1 they are difficult to obtain and their price is high4 ,with the foundation of the ,camden ,society an entirely new system was adopted1 and the general body of book lovers1 poor as well as rich1 were appealed to with great success1 and valuable books were supplied to the subscribers at a price which would have been impossible without such means4 ,the ,camden ,society is entitled to this honour on account of the general interest of its publications1 but the ,surtees ,society was actually the first to inaugurate the new system4 ,the subscription fixed was double that which the founders of the ,camden ,society adopted1 but it was1 perhaps1 a bolder step to start a ,society1 appealing to a somewhat restricted public with a two guinea subscription1 than to appeal to the whole reading public with a subscription of one pound4 ,before saying more of the ,surtees and ,camden ,societies1 it will be necessary to mention some other printing clubs which preceded them4 ,the ,oriental ,translation ,fund was established in #ahbh1 with the object of publishing ,translations from ,eastern ,,mss4 into the languages of ,europe4 ,when the issue of books was discontinued1 the stock of such books as remained was sold off1 and many of these can still be obtained at a cheap rate4 ,the ,iona ,club was instituted in #ahcc1 for the purpose of investigating the ,history1 ,antiquities1 and early ,literature of the ,highlands and ,islands of ,scotland1 but little has been done in the way of publication4 ,the first book was ,collectanea de ,rebus ,albanicis1 and the second1 ,transactions of the ,club1 vol4 i4 in #d parts4 ,a second volume was announced1 but never appeared4 ,the ,surtees ,society was founded at ,durham in

between the ,humber and the ,frith of ,forth1 and on the west1 between the ,mersey and the ,clyde1 a region which constituted the ancient kingdom of ,northumberland4 ,the ,society is named after ,robert ,surtees1 of ,mainforth1 author of the ,history of the ,county ,palatine of ,durham4 ,although founded more than fifty years ago1 the ,society is still flourishing1 and carried on with the same vigour as of old4 ,the series of publications is a long one1 and contains a large number of most important works4 ,the second book issued was ,wills and ,inventories1 illustrative of the

,the set of publications is so well known that it is not necessary to enumerate titles here4 ,among the most valuable are the several volumes devoted to the correspondence of certain old families1 such as the ,plumpton ,correspondence 7#ahci71 ,egerton ,papers 7#ahdj71 ,rutland ,papers 7#ahdb71 and ,savile ,correspondence 7#aheh74 ,the ,romances and ,chronicles must also be mentioned1 and the remarkable edition of the oldest ,english ,dictionary1 ,promptorium ,parvulorum1 which was fully and learnedly edited by the late ,mr4 ,albert ,way4 ,a second series was commenced in #ahga1 which is still continued4 ,the same year which saw the foundation of the ,camden ,society also gave birth to ,the ,english ,historical ,society4 ,sixteen works of considerable value were issued1 but the greatest of these is the grand ,codex ,diplomaticus vi ,saxonici of the late ,j4 ,mitchell ,kemble 7#ahde-dh74 ,the ,spalding ,club1 named after ,john ,spalding1 ,commissary ,clerk of ,aberdeen1 and founded at ,aberdeen in #ahci for the printing of the ,historical1 ,ecclesiastical1 ,genealogical1 ,topographical1 and ,literary ,remains of the ,north-,eastern ,counties of ,scotland1 was formed on the model of the exclusive clubs2 but being affected by the more democratic constitution of the later printing societies1 its subscription was fixed at one guinea4 ,amongst the most interesting of the

,aberdeen from #adid to #ahed 7#ahed74 ,the year #ahdj saw the foundation of three very important ,societies1 viz4 the ,parker1 the ,percy1 and the ,shakespeare4 ,the ,parker ,society took its name from the famous ,archbishop of ,canterbury1 ,martin ,parker1 and its objects were 7#a7 the reprinting1 without abridgment1 alteration or omission1 of the best works of the ,fathers and early ,writers of the ,reformed ,english ,church published in the period between the accession of ,edward ,,vi4 and ,queen ,elizabeth2 7#b7 the printing of such works of other writers of the ,sixteenth ,century as may appear desirable 7including under both classes some of the early ,english ,translations of the ,foreign ,reformers71 and 7#c7 the printing of some ,,mss4 of the same authors hitherto unpublished4 ,the ,society was an enormous success1 and at one time the list contained seven thousand members2 but owing to the multitude of copies printed1 and the somewhat dry character of the books themselves1 many of them can now be obtained at a ridiculously small sum1 the price of a complete set usually averaging little more than a shilling a volume4 ,when the series was completed1 a valuable ,general ,index to the whole was compiled by ,mr4 ,henry ,gough1 #ahee4 ,the ,percy ,society took its name from ,bishop ,percy1 author of the ,reliques of ,ancient ,english ,poetry 7born #agbi1 died #ahaa71 and was founded for the purpose of bringing to light important but obscure specimens of ,ballad ,poetry1 or ,works illustrative of that department of ,literature4 ,the ,society was dissolved in #ahec1 but during the thirteen years of its existence it produced a singularly interesting series of publications4 ,the number of separate works registered in ,bohn's ,appendix to ,lowndes's ,bibliographer's ,manual is #id1 besides ,quippes for ,upstart ,newfangled ,gentlewomen by ,stephen ,gosson1 which was suppressed1 and ,rhyming ,satire on the ,pride and ,vices of ,women ,now-a-days1 by ,charles ,bansley1 #aedj1 which was reprinted in #ahda1 but not issued4 ,the set is much sought after1 and fetches a good price4 ,the ,shakespeare ,society was founded in #ahdj1 to print books illustrative of ,shakespeare and of the literature of his time1 and a very valuable collection of works was issued to the subscribers during the term of its existence4 ,it was dissolved in #ahec1 and the remaining stock was made up into volumes and sold off4 ,there was much for the ,society still to do2 but the controversy arising out of the discovery of the forgeries connected with ,john ,payne ,collier's name made it difficult for the ,shakespearians to work together with harmony4 ,in this same year the ,musical ,antiquarian ,society was founded1 and during the seven years of its existence it issued books of ,madrigals1 ,operas1 ,songs1 ,anthems1 etc41 by early ,english composers4 ,in the following year 7#ahda71 the ,motett ,society was founded for the publication of ,ancient ,church ,music4 ,five parts only1 edited by ,dr4 ,rimbault1 were issued4 ,in #ahda the ,society for the ,publication of ,oriental ,texts was founded1 and a series of works in ,syriac1 ,arabic1 ,sanscrit1 and ,persian was distributed to the subscribers until #ahea1 when the ,society was dissolved4 ,the ,wodrow ,society was instituted in ,edinburgh in #ahda1 for the publication of the early writers of the ,reformed ,church of ,scotland1 and named after the ,rev4 ,robert ,wodrow4 ,among its publications are1 ,autobiography and ,diary of ,james ,melvill1 ,correspondence of the ,rev4 ,r4 ,wodrow 7#c vols471 ,history of the ,reformation in ,scotland1 by ,john ,knox 7#b vols474 ,the ,society was dissolved in #ahdh4 ,the lfric ,society was founded in #ahdb for the publication of those ,anglo-,saxon and other literary monuments1 both civil and ecclesiastical1 tending to illustrate the early state of ,england4 ,the publications1 which were not numerous1 were edited by ,benjamin ,thorpe and ,j4,m4 ,kemble1 and the ,society was discontinued in #ahef4 ,the ,chetham ,society1 founded at ,manchester in #ahdc1 for the publication of ,historical and ,literary remains connected with the ,palatine ,counties of ,lancaster and ,chester1 was named after ,humphrey ,chetham 7born #aehj1 died #afec74 ,the ,society1 which still flourishes1 has now produced a very long series of important works1 and the volumes1 which are not often met with1 keep up their price well4 ,the ,sydenham ,society for reprinting ,standard ,english ,works in ,medical ,literature1 and for the ,translation of ,foreign ,authors1 with notes1 was founded in #ahdc4 ,after printing a number of important works1 the ,society was dissolved in #aheh1 and was succeeded by ,the ,new ,sydenham ,society4 ,the ,spottiswoode ,society was founded at ,edinburgh in #ahdc1 for the revival and publication of the acknowledged works of the ,bishops1 ,clergy1 and ,laity of the ,episcopal ,church of ,scotland1 and rare1 authentic1 and curious ,,mss41 ,pamphlets and other ,works illustrative of the ,civil and ,ecclesiastical ,state of ,scotland4 ,it takes its name from ,john ,spottiswoode1 the first duly consecrated ,scottish ,archbishop after the ,reformation 7born #aeff1 died #afci47 ,the late ,mr4 ,hill ,burton gives an amusing account of the foundation of this ,society in his delightful ,book-,hunter4 ,he writes3 ,when it was proposed to establish an institution for reprinting the works of the fathers of the ,episcopal ,church in ,scotland1 it was naturally deemed that no more worthy or characteristic name could be attached to it than that of the venerable prelate1 who by his learning and virtues had so long adorned the ,episcopal ,chair of ,moray and ,ross ,robert ,jolly1 and who had shown a special interest in the department of literature to which the institution was to be devoted4 ,hence it came to pass that1 through a perfectly natural process1 the ,association for the purpose of reprinting the works of certain old divines was to be ushered into the world by the style and title of the ,,jolly ,,club4 ,there happened to be amongst those concerned1 however1 certain persons so corrupted with the wisdom of this world1 as to apprehend that the miscellaneous public might fail to trace this designation to its true origin1 and might indeed totally mistake the nature and object of the institution1 attributing to it aims neither consistent with the ascetic life of the departed prelate1 nor with the pious and intellectual object of its founders4 ,the counsels of these worldly-minded persons prevailed4 ,the ,jolly ,club was never instituted1--at least as an association for the reprinting of old books of divinity1--though ,i am not prepared to say that institutions1 more than one so designed may not exist for other purposes4 ,the object1 however1 was not entirely abandoned4 ,a body of gentlemen united themselves together under the name of another ,scottish prelate1 whose fate had been more distinguished1 if not more fortunate1 and the ,spottiswoode ,society was established4 ,here1 it will be observed1 there was a passing to the opposite extreme1 and so intense seems to have been the anxiety to escape from all excuse for indecorous jokes or taint of joviality1 that the word ,club1 wisely adopted by other bodies of the same kind1 was abandoned1 and this one called itself a ,society4 ,the publications were discontinued about #ahea4 ,the ,calvin ,translation ,society was established at ,edinburgh in #ahdc1 and its work was completed in #ahee1 by the publication of twenty-two ,commentaries1 etc41 of the great reformer in fifty-two volumes4 ,the ,ray ,society was founded in #ahdd for the publication of works on ,natural ,history 7,zoology and ,botany71 and a large number of valuable books1 fully illustrated1 have been produced1 many of them translations from foreign works4 ,many of the later publications are more elaborately coloured than the earlier ones4 ,the ,wernerian ,club was instituted in #ahdd for the republication of standard works of ,scientific ,authors of old date4 ,the ,handel ,society was founded at ,london in #ahdd1 for the purpose of printing the ,works of ,handel in full score4 ,sixteen volumes were issued1 and in #aheh the ,society was dissolved1 the ,german ,handel ,society resuming the publication4 ,the ,hanserd ,knollys ,society was instituted in #ahde for the publication of the works of early ,english and other ,baptist writers1 and one of these was an edition of ,bunyan's ,pilgrim ,progress from the text of the first edition4 ,the ,society was dissolved about #ahea4 ,the ,caxton ,society was instituted in #ahde for the publication of ,chronicles and other writings hitherto unpublished1 illustrative of the history and miscellaneous literature of the middle ages4 ,this ,society was formed on a somewhat original basis4 ,the members were to pay no annual subscription1 but they engaged to purchase one copy of all books published by the ,society4 ,the expense of printing and publishing to be defrayed out of the proceeds of the sale1 and the money remaining over to be paid to the editors4 ,the ,cavendish ,society was instituted in #ahdf for the promotion of ,chemical ,science by the translation and publication of valuable works and papers on ,chemistry not likely to be undertaken by ordinary publishers4 ,during its last years the ,society existed for the publication of ,gmelin's voluminous ,handbook of ,chemistry1 and when this work was completed1 with a general ,index1 the ,society ceased to exist4 ,the ,ecclesiastical ,history ,society was instituted in #ahdf1 and one of its early publications was the first volume of ,wood's ,athen ,oxoniensis1 edited by ,dr4 ,bliss1 but this only contained the life of ,anthony ,wood himself4 ,the ,society was dissolved in #ahed1 after publishing the ,book of ,common ,prayer according to a ,,ms4 in the ,rolls ,office1 ,dublin 7#c vols471 and sundry other works4 ,the ,hakluyt ,society1 named after ,richard ,hakluyt 7born #aeec1 died #afaf71 was founded at the end of #ahdf for the purpose of printing the most rare and valuable ,voyages1 ,travels and ,geographical ,records1 from an early period of exploratory enterprise to the circumnavigation of ,dampier4 ,the first two volumes 7,sir ,richard ,hawkins's ,voyage into the ,south ,sea1 #aeic1 and ,select ,letters of ,columbus7 were issued in #ahdg1 and the ,society still flourishes4 ,between #ahdg and #ahhe the ,society has presented to its members an important series of books of travel1 at the rate of about two volumes a year for an annual subscription of one guinea4 ,the ,palontographical ,society was founded in #ahdg for the purpose of figuring and describing a stratigraphical series of ,british ,fossils4 ,the annual volumes consist of portions of works by the most eminent palontologists1 and these works are completed as soon as circumstances allow1 but several of them are still incomplete4 ,the ,arundel ,society is so important an institution that it cannot be passed over in silence1 although1 as the publications chiefly consist of engravings1 chromolithographs1 etc41 it scarcely comes within the scope of this chapter4 ,the ,society takes its name from ,thomas ,howard ,earl of ,arundel1 in the reigns of ,james ,i4 and ,charles ,i41 who has been styled the ,father of vertu in ,england4 ,it was founded in #ahdi1 and its purpose is to diffuse more widely1 by means of suitable publications1 a knowledge both of the history and true principles of ,painting1 ,sculpture1 and the higher forms of ornamental design1 to call attention to such masterpieces of the arts as are unduly neglected1 and to secure some transcript or memorial of those which are perishing from ill-treatment or decay4 ,the publications of the ,society have been very successful1 and many of them cannot now be obtained4 ,most of the societies above described have appealed to a large public1 and endeavoured to obtain a large amount of public support2 but in #ahec was formed an exclusive society1 with somewhat the same objects as the ,roxburghe ,club4 ,the ,philobiblon ,society was instituted chiefly through the endeavours of ,mr4 ,r4 ,monckton ,milnes 7the late ,lord ,houghton7 and the late ,mons4 ,sylvain ,van de ,weyer4 ,the number of members was at first fixed at thirty-five1 but was raised in #aheg to forty1 including the patron and honorary secretaries4 ,the publications consist chiefly of a series of ,bibliographical and ,historical ,miscellanies1 contributed by the members1 which fill several volumes4 ,besides these there are ,the ,expedition to the ,isle of ,rhe by ,lord ,herbert of ,cherbury1 edited and presented to the members by the ,earl of ,powis2 ,inventaire de tous les meubles du ,cardinal ,mazarin1 edited and presented by ,h4,r4,h4 the ,duke d',aumale2 ,memoires de la ,cour d',espagne sous la regne de ,charles ,,ii41 #afgh-hb1 edited and presented by ,william ,stirling 7afterwards ,sir ,william ,stirling ,maxwell72 ,the ,biography and ,bibliography of ,shakespeare1 compiled and presented by ,henry ,g4 ,bohn2 ,analyse des ,travaux de la ,socit des ,philobiblon de ,londres1 par ,octave ,delepierre4 ,the ,ossianic ,society was instituted at ,dublin in #ahec for the preservation and publication of manuscripts in the ,irish ,language1 illustrative of the ,fenian period of ,irish history1 etc41 with literal translations and notes4 ,the ,warton ,club was instituted in #ahed and issued four volumes1 after which it was dissolved4 ,the ,manx ,society was instituted at ,douglas1 ,isle of ,man1 in #aheh1 for the publication of ,national ,documents of the ,isle of ,man4 ,all the ,societies mentioned above are registered in ,henry ,bohn's ,appendix to ,lowndes's ,bibliographer's ,manual1 and lists of the publications up to #ahfd are there given4 ,most of them are also described in ,hume's ,learned ,societies and ,printing ,clubs of the ,united ,kingdom 7#ahec74 ,since1 however1 the publication of these two books1 a considerable number of important ,printing ,societies have been formed1 and of these a list is not readily obtainable1 except by direct application to the respective ,secretaries4 ,the newly printed ,general ,catalogue of the ,british ,museum in the ,reading ,room however contains a full list of the publications of the various ,societies under the heading of ,academies4 ,the foundation of the ,early ,english ,text ,society in #ahfd caused a renewed interest to be taken in the publications of the ,printing ,clubs4 ,the origin of the ,society was in this wise4 ,when the ,philological ,society undertook the formation of a great ,english ,dictionary1 the want of printed copies of some of the chief monuments of the language was keenly felt4 ,mr4 ,f4,j4 ,furnivall1 with his usual energy1 determined to supply the want1 and induced the ,council of the ,philological ,society to produce some valuable texts4 ,it was found1 however1 that these publications exhausted much of the funds of the ,society1 which was required for the printing of the papers read at the ordinary meetings1 so that it became necessary to discontinue them4 ,mr4 ,furnivall1 then1 in conjunction with certain members of the ,philological ,society1 founded the ,early ,english ,text ,society4 ,the ,society possessed the inestimable advantage of having among its founders ,mr4 ,richard ,morris 7afterwards the ,rev4 ,dr4 ,morris71 who entered with fervour into the scheme1 and produced a large amount of magnificent work for the ,society4 ,dr4 ,furnivall put the objects of the ,society forward very tersely when he said that none of us should rest till ,englishmen shall be able to say of their early literature what the ,germans can now say with pride of theirs--'every word of it is printed1 and every word of it is glossed4' ,the ,society prospered1 and in #ahfg an ,extra ,series was started1 in which were included books that had already been printed1 but were difficult to obtain from their rarity and price4 ,one hundred and twenty-six volumes have been issued between #ahfd and #ahhd1 eighty-two volumes of the ,original ,series and forty-four of the ,extra ,series1 and there can be no doubt that the publications of the ,society have had an immense influence in fostering the study of the ,english language4 ,the prefaces and glossaries given with each work contain an amount of valuable information not elsewhere to be obtained4 ,these books throw light upon the growth of the language1 and place within the reach of a large number of readers works of great interest in the literature of the country4 ,the greatest work undertaken by the ,society is the remarkable edition of ,william's ,vision of ,piers the ,plowman1 which ,prof4 ,skeat has produced with an expenditure of great labour during nearly twenty years4 ,the last part1 containing elaborate notes and glossary1 was issued in #ahhd4 ,the subjects treated of are very various4 ,there is a fair sprinkling of ,romances1 which will always be amongst the most interesting of a ,society's publications4 ,manners and ,customs are largely illustrated in a fair proportion of the ,texts1 as also are questions of ,social and ,political ,history4 ,perhaps the least interesting to the general reader are the ,theological ,texts1 which are numerous1 but the writers of these were thoroughly imbued with the spirit of their times1 and although they are apt to be prosy1 they are pretty sure to introduce some quaint bits which compensate for a considerable amount of dulness4 ,these books help us to form a correct idea of the beliefs of our forefathers1 and to disabuse our minds of many mistaken views which we have learnt from more popular but less accurate sources4 ,the ,ballad ,society grew out of the publication1 by special subscription1 of ,bishop ,percy's ,folio ,manuscript1 edited by ,f4,j4 ,furnivall and ,j4,w4 ,hales4 ,this was issued in connection with the ,early ,english ,text ,society 7but not as one of its ,texts71 through the energy of ,mr4 ,furnivall1 who had many difficulties to overcome before he was able to get permission to print the manuscript1 which had been very faithfully guarded from the eyes of critics4 ,he had to pay for the privilege1 and in the end the old volume was sold to the nation1 and it now reposes among the treasures of the ,british ,museum4 ,when this useful work was completed1 ,mr4 ,furnivall was anxious to follow it by a reprint of all the known collections of ,ballads1 such as the ,roxburghe1 ,bagford1 ,rawlinson1 ,douce1 etc41 and for this purpose he started the ,ballad ,society in #ahfh4 ,he himself edited some particularly interesting ,ballads from ,manuscripts1 and an elaborate account of ,captain ,cox's ,ballads and ,books in a new edition of ,robert ,laneham's ,letter on the ,entertainment at ,kenilworth in #aege4 ,the veteran ,ballad illustrator1 ,mr4 ,william ,chappell1 undertook to edit the ,roxburghe ,ballads1 and produced nine parts1 when the ,rev4 ,j4,w4 ,ebsworth took the work off his hands4 ,mr4 ,ebsworth had previously reproduced the ,bagford ,ballads1 and he is now the editor-in-chief of the ,society4 ,the following is a short list of the publications of the ,society3 ,nos4 #a1 #b1 #c1

by the ,rev4 ,j4,w4 ,ebsworth4 ,no4 #bf completes the fifth volume of the ,roxburghe ,ballads4 ,there are two more volumes to come1 and then ,mr4 ,ebsworth will undertake ,the ,civil ,war and ,protectorate ,ballads4 ,much of the work on these volumes is done1 and they only await an increase in the subscription list4 ,it is to be hoped that when the good work done by the ,ballad ,society is better known1 the editor will not be kept back in his useful course by the want of funds for printing4 ,mr4 ,ebsworth's thorough work is too well known to need praise here1 but it may be noted that his volumes contain a remarkable amount of illustration of the manners of the time not to be obtained elsewhere4 ,the value of this is the more apparent by the system of arrangement in marked periods which the editor has adopted4 ,the ,chaucer ,society was founded in #ahfh by ,mr4 ,furnivall1 to do honour to ,chaucer1 and to let the lovers and students of him see how far the best unprinted ,manuscripts of his ,works differed from the printed texts4 ,for the ,canterbury ,tales1 ,mr4 ,furnivall has printed the six best unprinted ,,mss4 in two forms--7#a7 in large oblong parts1 giving the parallel texts2 7#b7 in octavo1 each text separately4 ,the six manuscripts chosen are--,the ,ellesmere2 ,the ,lansdowne 7,brit4 ,mus472 ,the ,hengwrt2 ,the ,corpus1 ,oxford2 ,the ,cambridge 7,university ,library72 ,the ,petworth4 ,dr4 ,furnivall has now added ,harleian #gccd to complete the series4 ,the ,society's publications are issued in two series1 of which the first contains the different ,texts of ,chaucer's ,works1 and the second such originals of and essays on these as can be procured1 with other illustrative treatises and ,supplementary ,tales4 ,the ,spenser ,society was founded at ,manchester in #ahfg for the publication of well-printed editions of old ,english authors in limited numbers4 ,the chief publication issued to subscribers was a reprint1 in three volumes folio1 of the works of ,john ,taylor1 the ,water-poet1 from the original folio4 ,the other publications are in small quarto1 and among them are the works of ,john ,taylor not included in the folio1 the works of ,wither1 etc4 ,the ,roxburghe ,library was a subscription series1 commenced by ,mr4 ,w4 ,carew ,hazlitt in #ahfh1 with the same objects as a publishing society4 ,it was discontinued in

the purpose of publishing the more interesting portions of the old ,county ,records of ,middlesex1 which have lately been arranged and calendared by order of the ,justices4 ,nothing has been published as yet1 but ,mr4 ,cordy ,jeaffreson is engaged upon the first two volumes1 one of which will be issued shortly4 ,the ,rev4 ,dr4 ,a4,b4 ,grosart has himself printed by subscription more works of our ,old ,writers than many a ,society1 and therefore it is necessary to mention his labours here1 although a complete list of them cannot be given4 ,the chief series are3 ,the ,fuller ,worthies ,library1 #ci volumes2 ,the ,chertsey ,worthies ,library1 #ad vols4 #dto41 and ,the ,huth ,library4 ,,chapter ,,viii4 ,,child',s ,,library4 ,the idea of a ,child's ,library is to a great extent modern1 and it is not altogether clear that it is a good one1 except in the case of those children who have no books of their own4 ,it is far better that each child should have his own good books1 which he can read over and over again1 thus thoroughly mastering their contents4 ,it is a rather wide-spread notion that there is some sort of virtue in reading for reading's sake1 although really a reading boy may be an idle boy4 ,when a book is read1 it should be well thought over before another is begun1 for reading without thought generates no ideas4 ,one advantage of a ,child's ,library should be that the reader is necessarily forced to be careful1 so as to return the books uninjured4 ,this is a very important point1 for children should be taught from their earliest years to treat books well1 and not to destroy them as they often do4 ,we might go farther than this and say that children should be taught at school how to handle a book4 ,it is really astonishing to see how few persons 7not necessarily children7 among those who have not grown up among books know how to handle them4 ,it is positive torture to a man who loves books to see the way they are ordinarily treated4 ,of course it is not necessary to mention the crimes of wetting the fingers to turn over the leaves1 or turning down pages to mark the place2 but those who ought to know better will turn a book over on its face at the place where they have left off reading1 or will turn over pages so carelessly that they give a crease to each which will never come out4 ,for a healthy education it is probably best that a child should have the run of a library for adults 7always provided that dangerous books are carefully excluded74 ,a boy is much more likely to enjoy and find benefit from the books he selects himself than from those selected for him4 ,the circumstances of the child should be considered in the selection of books2 thus it is scarcely fair when children are working hard at school all day that they should be made to read so-called instructive books in the evening4 ,they have earned the right to relaxation and should be allowed good novels4 ,to some boys books of ,travels and ,history are more acceptable than novels1 but all children require some ,fiction1 and1 save in a few exceptional cases1 their imaginations require to be cultivated4 ,it will soon be seen whether children have healthy or unhealthy tastes4 ,if healthy1 they are best left to themselves2 if unhealthy1 they must be directed4 ,it is easy for the seniors to neglect the children they have under them1 and it is easy to direct them overmuch1 but it is difficult to watch and yet let the children go their own way4 ,we are apt1 in arranging for others1 to be too instructive2 nothing is less acceptable to children or less likely to do them good than to be preached at4 ,moral reflections in books are usually skipped by children1 and unless somewhat out of the common1 probably by grown-up persons as well4 ,instruction should grow naturally out of the theme itself1 and form an integral part of it1 so that high aims and noble thoughts may naturally present themselves to the readers4 ,one of the chapters in the ,united ,states ,libraries' ,report is on ,school and ,asylum ,libraries 7pp4 #ch-ei71 in which we are informed that ,new ,york was the pioneer in founding school libraries4 ,in #ahbg ,governor ,de ,witt ,clinton1 in his message to the legislature1 recommended their formation2 but it was not till #ahce that the friends of free schools saw their hopes realized in the passage of a law which permitted the voters in any school district to levy a tax of #bj to begin a library1 and a tax of #aj each succeeding year to provide for its increase4 ,another chapter in the same ,report is on ,public ,libraries and the ,young 7pp4 #dab-dah71 in which ,mr4 ,wm4 ,j4 ,fletcher advocates the use of the library as an addition to the school course4 ,he writes1 ,it only remains now to say that1 as we have before intimated1 the public library should be viewed as an adjunct of the public school system1 and to suggest that in one or two ways the school may work together with the library in directing the reading of the young4 ,there is the matter of themes for the writing of compositions2 by selecting subjects on which information can be had at the library1 the teacher can send the pupil to the library as a student1 and readily put him in communication with1 and excite his interest in1 classes of books to which he has been a stranger and indifferent4 ,a very interesting book on this subject is entitled ,libraries and ,schools4 ,papers selected by ,samuel ,s4 ,green4 ,new ,york 7,f4 ,leypoldt71 #ahhc4 ,it contains the following subjects3 ,the ,public ,library and the ,public ,schools2 ,the ,relation of the ,public ,library to the ,public ,schools2 ,libraries as ,educational ,institutions2 ,the ,public ,library as an ,auxiliary to the ,public ,schools2 ,the ,relation of ,libraries to the ,school ,system2 and ,a ,plan of ,systematic ,training in ,reading at ,school4 ,books for the ,young1 a ,guide for ,parents and ,children4 ,compiled by ,c4 ,m4 ,hewins4 ,new ,york 7,f4 ,leypoldt71 #ahhb1 is an extremely useful little book4 ,it contains a valuable list of books arranged in classes4 ,certain marks are used to indicate the character of the books1 thus the letter 7c7 indicates that the book is especially suitable for children under ten1 7b7 that it is especially suitable for boys1 and 7g7 that it is especially suitable for girls4 ,prefixed are eight sensible rules as to how to teach the right use of books4 ,perkins's ,best ,reading contains a good list of books for children 7pp4 #bii-cjc74 ,the children's books of the present day are so beautifully produced that the elders are naturally induced to exclaim1 ,we never had such books as these1 but probably we enjoyed our books as well as our children do theirs4 ,what a thrill of pleasure the middle-aged man feels when a book which amused his childhood comes in his way3 this1 however1 is seldom1 for time has laid his decaying hand upon them-- ,all1 all are gone1 the old familiar faces4 ,the children for whom ,miss ,kate ,greenaway and ,mr4 ,caldecott draw and ,mrs4 ,gatty and ,mrs4 ,ewing wrote are indeed fortunate1 but we must not forget that ,charles and ,mary ,lamb wrote delightful books for the young1 that ,miss ,edgeworth's stories are ever fresh1 and that one of the most charming children's stories ever written is ,mrs4 ,sherwood's ,little ,woodman4 ,a short list of a ,child's ,library is quoted in the ,library ,journal 7vol4 viii4 p4 #eg7 from the ,woman's ,journal4 ,the family for whom it was chosen consisted of children from three to twelve1 the two eldest

,the editor of the ,library ,journal remarks on the list1 ,guest's ,lectures on ,english ,history is better than ,dickens's1 and the ',prudy' children are so mischievous1 so full of young ,americanisms1 and so far from being 'wells of ,english undefiled1' that they are not always good companions for boys and girls4 ,i have known a child's ,english spoiled by reading the ,prudy books4 ,some of the old-fashioned children's books have been reprinted1 and these will generally be found very acceptable to healthy-minded children1 but some of the old books are not easily met with4 ,no ,child's ,library should be without a good collection of ,fairy ,tales1 a careful selection of the ,arabian ,nights1 or ,robinson ,crusoe4 ,gulliver's ,travels is very unsuited for children1 although often treated as a child's book4 ,berquin's ,children's ,friend1 ,edgeworth's ,parent's ,assistant and the ,aikins's ,evenings at ,home1 will surely still amuse children1 although some may think their teaching too didactic4 ,it is only by practical experience that we can tell what children will like4 ,sandford and ,merton is1 ,i believe1 usually considered as hopelessly out of date1 but ,i have found young hearers follow my reading of it with the greatest interest4 ,the ,pilgrim's ,progress will always have as great a fascination for the young as it must have for their elders2 but there is much preaching in it which must be skipped1 or the attention of the hearers will flag4 ,,chapter ,,ix4 ,,one ,,hundred ,,books4 ,in the ,fourth ,chapter of this ,volume two lists of selected books are given1 viz4 ,the ,comtist's ,library1 and a list of one hundred good novels4 ,since that chapter was written and printed1 much public attention has been drawn to this branch of our subject by the publication of ,sir ,john ,lubbock's list of books which he recommended to the members of the ,working ,men's ,college1 when he lectured at that place on ,books4 ,the comments by eminent men1 which have appeared in the ,pall ,mall ,gazette1 have also attracted attention1 and it seems desirable that some note on this list should appear in these pages4 ,the list issued by the ,pall ,mall ,gazette is as follows3 ,,non-,,christian ,,moralists4 ,marcus ,aurelius1 ,meditations4 ,epictetus1 ,encheiridion4 ,confucius1 ,analects4 ,aristotle1 ,ethics4 ,mahomet1 ,koran4 ,,theology ,,and ,,devotion4

round for criticism by the editor of the ,pall ,mall ,gazette1 is not really ,sir ,john ,lubbock's4 ,this will be found on p4 #bdj4 ,sir ,john ,lubbock's address was not given in full1 and the list drawn up by the ,pall ,mall1 from the reports in the daily papers1 contained in fact only about #he books4 ,it seems necessary to allude particularly to this imperfect list1 because it is the only one upon which the critics were asked to give an opinion1 and their criticisms are peculiarly interesting1 as they give us an important insight into the tastes and opinions of our teachers4 ,in itself it is almost impossible to make a list that will be practically useful1 because tastes and needs differ so widely1 that a course of reading suitable for one man may be quite unsuitable for another4 ,it is also very doubtful whether a conscientious passage through a cut-and-dried list of books will feed the mind as a more original selection by each reader himself would do4 ,it is probably best to start the student well on his way and then leave him to pursue it according to his own tastes4 ,each book will help him to another1 and consultation with some of the many manuals of ,english literature will guide him towards a good choice4 ,this is in effect what ,mr4 ,bond1 ,principal ,librarian of the ,british ,museum1 says in his reply1 to the circular of the editor of the ,pall ,mall ,gazette4 ,he writes ,the result of several persons putting down the titles of books they considered 'best reading' would be an interesting but very imperfect bibliography of as many sections of literature2 and1 again1 ,the beginner should be advised to read histories of the literature of his own and other countries--as ,hallam's ',introduction to the ,literature of ,europe1' ,joseph ,warton's ',history of ,english ,poetry1' ,craik's ',history of ,english ,literature1' ,paine's ,history1 and others of the same class4 ,these would give him a survey of the field1 and would quicken his taste for what was naturally most congenial to him4 ,there probably is no better course of reading than that which will naturally occur to one who makes an honest attempt to master our own noble literature4 ,this is sufficient for the lifetime of most men without incursions into foreign literature4 ,all cultivated persons will wish to become acquainted with the masterpieces of other nations1 but this diversion will not be advisable if it takes the reader away from the study of the masterpieces of his own literature4 ,turning to the comments on the ,pall ,mall ,gazette's list1 we may note one or two of the most important criticisms4 ,the ,prince of ,wales very justly suggested that ,dryden should not be omitted from such a list4 ,mr4 ,chamberlain asked whether the ,bible was excluded by accident or design1 and ,mr4 ,irving suggested that the ,bible and ,shakespeare form together a very comprehensive library4 ,mr4 ,ruskin's reply is particularly interesting1 for he adds but little1 contenting himself with the work of destruction4 ,he writes1 ,putting my pen lightly through the needless--and blottesquely through the rubbish and poison of ,sir ,john's list--,i leave enough for a life's liberal reading--and choice for any true worker's loyal reading4 ,i have added one quite vital and essential book--,livy 7the two first books71 and three plays of ,aristophanes 7,clouds1 ,birds1 and ,plutus74 ,of travels1 ,i read myself all old ones ,i can get hold of2 of modern1 ,humboldt is the central model4 ,forbes 7,james ,forbes in ,alps7 is essential to the modern ,swiss tourist--of sense4 ,mr4 ,ruskin puts the word all to ,plato1 everything to ,carlyle1 and every word to ,scott4 ,pindar's name he adds in the list of the classics1 and after ,bacon's name he writes chiefly the ,new ,atlantis4 ,the work of destruction is marked by the striking out of all the ,non-,christian ,moralists1 of all the ,theology and ,devotion1 with the exception of ,jeremy ,taylor and the ,pilgrim's ,progress4 ,the ,nibelungenlied and ,malory's ,morte d',arthur 7which1 by the way1 is in prose7 go out1 as do ,sophocles and ,euripides among the ,greek ,dramatists4 ,the ,knights is struck out to make way for the three plays of ,aristophanes mentioned above4 ,gibbon1 ,voltaire1 ,hume1 and ,grote all go1 as do all the philosophers but ,bacon4 ,cook's ,voyages and ,darwin's ,naturalist in the ,beagle share a similar fate4 ,southey1 ,longfellow1 ,swift1 ,hume1 ,macaulay1 and ,emerson1 ,goethe and ,marivaux1 all are so unfortunate as to have ,mr4 ,ruskin's pen driven through their names4 ,among the novelists ,dickens and ,scott only are left4 ,the names of ,thackeray1 ,george ,eliot1 ,kingsley1 and ,bulwer-,lytton are all erased4 ,mr4 ,ruskin sent a second letter full of wisdom till he came to his reasons for striking out ,grote's ,history of ,greece1 ,confessions of ,st4 ,augustine1 ,john ,stuart ,mill1 ,charles ,kingsley1 ,darwin1 ,gibbon1 and ,voltaire4 ,with these reasons it is to be hoped that few readers will agree4 ,mr4 ,swinburne makes a new list of his own which is very characteristic4 ,no4 #c consists of ,selections from the ,bible3 comprising ,job1 the ,psalms1 ,ecclesiastes1 the ,song of ,solomon1 ,isaiah1 ,ezekiel1 ,joel2 the ,gospels of ,st4 ,matthew and ,st4 ,luke1 the ,gospel and the ,first ,epistle of ,st4 ,john and ,epistle of ,st4 ,james4 ,no4 #ab is ,villon1 and ,nos4 #de to #di consist of the plays of ,ford1 ,dekker1 ,tourneur1 ,marston1 and ,middleton2 names very dear to the lover of our old ,drama1 but ,i venture to think names somewhat inappropriate in a list of books for a reader who does not make the drama a speciality4 ,lamb's ,selections would be sufficient for most readers4 ,mr4 ,william ,morris supplies a full list with explanations1 which are of considerable interest as coming from that distinguished poet4 ,archdeacon ,farrar gives1 perhaps1 the best test for a favourite author1 that is1 the selection of his works in the event of all others being destroyed4 ,he writes1 ,but if all the books in the world were in a blaze1 the first twelve which ,i should snatch out of the flames would be the ,bible1 ,imitatio ,christi1 ,homer1 schylus1 ,thucydides1 ,tacitus1 ,virgil1 ,marcus ,aurelius1 ,dante1 ,shakespeare1 ,milton1 ,wordsworth4 ,of living authors ,i would save first the works of ,tennyson1 ,browning and ,ruskin4 ,another excellent test is that set up by travellers and soldiers4 ,a book must be good when one of either of these classes decides to place it among his restricted baggage4 ,mr4 ,h4,m4 ,stanley writes1 ,you ask me what books ,i carried with me to take across ,africa4 ,i carried a great many--three loads1 or about #ahj lbs4 weight2 but as my men lessened in numbers1 stricken by famine1 fighting and sickness1 they were one by one reluctantly thrown away1 until finally1 when less than #cjj miles from the ,atlantic1 ,i possessed only the ,bible1 ,shakespeare1 ,carlyle's ,sartor ,resartus1 ,norie's ,navigation1 and ,nautical ,almanac for #ahgg4 ,poor ,shakspeare was afterwards burned by demand of the foolish people of ,zinga4 ,at ,bonea1 ,carlyle and ,norie and ,nautical ,almanac were pitched away1 and ,i had only the old ,bible left4 ,he then proceeds to give a list of books which he allowed himself when setting out with a tidy battalion of men4 ,lord ,wolseley writes1 ,during the mutiny and ,china war ,i carried a ,testament1 two volumes of ,shakespeare that contained his best plays1 and since then1 when in the field1 ,i have always carried3 ,book of ,common ,prayer1 ,thomas ,kempis1 ,soldier's ,pocket ,book4444 ,the book that ,i like reading at odd moments is ',the ,meditations of ,marcus ,aurelius4' ,he then adds1 for any distant expedition1 a few books of ,history 7,creasy's ,decisive ,battles1 ,plutarch's ,lives1 ,voltaire's ,charles ,,xii41 ,csar1 by ,froude1 and ,hume's ,england74 ,his ,fiction is confined to ,macaulay's ,history of ,england and the ,essays4 ,mr4 ,quaritch remarks that ,sir ,john's 'working man' is an ideal creature4 ,i have known many working men1 but none of them could have suggested such a feast as he has prepared for them4 ,he adds1 ,in my younger days ,i had no books whatever beyond my school books4 ,arrived in ,london in #ahdb1 ,i joined a literary institution1 and read all their historical works4 ,to read fiction ,i had no time4 ,a friend of mine read novels all night long1 and was one morning found dead in his bed4 ,if ,mr4 ,quaritch intends this as a warning1 he should present the fact for the consideration of those readers who swell the numbers of novels in the statistics of the ,free ,libraries4 ,looking at the ,pall ,mall ,gazette's list1 it naturally occurs to us that it would be a great error for an ,englishman to arrange his reading so that he excluded ,chaucer while he included ,confucius4 ,among the names of modern novelists it is strange that ,jane ,austen and ,charlotte ,bront should have been omitted4 ,in ,sir ,john ,lubbock's own list it will be seen that the names of ,chaucer and ,miss ,austen occur4 ,among ,essayists one would like to have seen at least the names of ,charles ,lamb1 ,de ,quincey1 and ,landor1 and many will regret to find such delightful writers as ,walton and ,thomas ,fuller omitted4 ,we ought1 however1 to be grateful to ,sir ,john ,lubbock for raising a valuable discussion which is likely to draw the attention of many readers to books which might otherwise have been most unjustly neglected by them4#fi ,the following is ,sir ,john ,lubbock's list4 ,it will be seen that several of the books1 whose absence is remarked on1 do really form part of the list1 and that the objections of the critics are so far met4 ,the ,bible4 99 99 99 99 99
