NEW YORK Printed for THE DIBDIN CLUB 1899 m^ Copyright, 1899, By A. GROWOLL. HENRY HARRISSE Henry Harrissk's name is connected with one of the most ifudite bibliographies ever published ; indeed, according to *ficolas Triibner, Harrisse's " Bibliotheca Americana Vetus- issima" is a "work unrivalled in its extent, accuracy, and ;omprehensiveness." This is the more remarkable because ^arr^sse had no bibliographic training, and because the work n question was his first attempt in this field. Before under- aking the work on the " Bibliotheca Americana," he had de- '^oted himself exclusively to art, criticism, and the history of )hilosophy, translating into English and annotating all the netaphysical works of Descartes. Being unable to find a jublisher in America for that class of books, he turned his ittention to other subjects. At this time — about 1864-65 — he nade the acquaintance of Samuel Latham Mitchill Barlow, he generous collector to whose munificence bibliographical icience is indebted for this splendid publication. Mr. Bar- ow shortly before had bought the library of Colonel Aspinwall :hat was destroyed in the fire which consumed the premises 3f Bangs, Merwin & Co., 6g6 Broadway, where the books were temporarily stored. Fortunately, Mr. Barlow, a few days before this disaster, had removed to his house a number 3f the rarest treasures in the collection. Harrisse was tempted, by the aid of Mr. Barlow's rich mine of invaluable works, to write a history of the beginnings, the decline, and the fall of the Spanish Empire in the New World. In making his selections -f^\ n O 5 "ff V.) f 6 Henry Harrisse among the many works, Harrisse naturally made a i "Bib nary work of bibliography, and be began with Co. Work These notes were first published in two instalments int;..^^2 York Commercial Advertiser under the title of "ColiJBher in a Nutshell." Mr. Barlow, finding that these noit g*; 9 eagerly demanded by those interested in the subject, p; for that they be reprinted with some important addition; and Harrisse in preparing the additions did not rest ; of P' with the material in Mi. Barlow's collection, but cor. Ame also, the works relating to the period in such other 153! nent libraries whose owners were public-spirited enon first grant access to their treasures. These studies were k Ram in the following volume : *' Notes on Columbus. Nen 1550 Privately Printeu, 1866." (vii4-227 p. 13 photographs ogra 99 copies, of which 2 were on India paper.) The in consists of a series of notes and extracts from rare booi title lating to Columbus, with numerous valuable biblioi^rj desc and historical notes. It contains also an account auth poems, eulogies, essays, etc., in honor of Columbus, a: thei) treasury of fact and fancy, relative to the great nav;; «ive The photographs add much to the interest of the book nes consist of (i) A Portrait of Columbus from De Bry.

New York : George P. Philes, Pub- lisher, MDCCCLXVI." (8+liv. +519 p. 400 copies in roy. 8*; 99 cojiies in 4°; and 10 copies in 4° on Holland paper, for private distribution.) In this work Harrisse describes and gives the collations, mostly from personal observation, of p,o less than 304 important and rare books relating to America, published in various languages between 1492 and iSalj commencing with the " Epiftola Chriftofori Colom," first published in 1493, and ending with the first edition of Ramusio's collection of voyages published anonymously in 1550. As a specimen of Arierican typography this bibli- ography has never been surpassed. The titles are printed in facsimile letters, and where woodcuts appear on the title-page they are also given in facsimile. Each book is described at length, and some account is also given of the author and his labors, the various editions of his works and their differences ; and as all the books described are of exces- sive rarity, Harrisse gives the names of the American libra- ries in which they were to be found on the 4th of May, 1866, the period when he completed his labors. "Had Mr. Harrisse done no more than here stated he would have more than fulfilled all the duties of the bibliographer ; but he has gone further, and has added to each description a list of the books in which information may be found regarding the works thus listed. Further, knowing how important it often is to the historian and to others to consult the original works on which opinions and statements are based, he carefully gives refer- ences, chapter and verse, for every fact he states — thus in his first description of the letter of Columbus, he gives no less than ninety-one notes, chiefly references to works consulted. Bibliographies are too often mere dry catalogues — transcripts of title-pages and nothing more. This volume is not to be classed with such publications. It is in fact a history, with- out which no future American historian can efficiently per- form his task. Nay, it is a cyclop.-edia of facts relating to the early history of America, without which no large library can be considered complete. In his introduction, which, by the way, contains an admirable defence of Bibliography as a science, the author enumerates the labors of his predecessors ^ ■»- -*—»•*; / 8 Henry Harrisse in the same field, describing their works and giving! brief account of their history."* In view of all this, noteworthy that, after thirty two years, the small edit; 450 copies that was offered to the public at cost price i; yet exhausted. Harrisse in 1872 published a supplementary vol. entitled " Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima A Descri] of Works relating to America, Published between thel 1492 and 1551: Additions Paris: Librairie Tross." (4t 199 p. 200 copies in 8°, 50 copies in 4°. ) This volume is properly speaking, a continuation of its predecessor series of notes and additions " intended to aid towards fori a complete list of works relating to the discovery, hist and geography of America, printed previous to the yean It contains bibliographical notes gatheied in the leadir; braries of Europe, and 186 articles, two-thirds of whid new. The other third is composed chiefly of descripti visu of extremely rare editions, which Harrisse hadsuccii cited on the authority of other bibliographers, or publ only in the appendix to the "Bibliotheca Americana Vt| tissima." Harrisse was born in Paris in 1830. When quite yt| he came to the United States to join his family, and i' South, where he taught modern languages to support hiii while he was studying law. He received the degree of i from the South Carolina College, read Blackstone witli: Hon. W. W. Boyce, and prepared himself for the bar in Law Department of the North Carolina University. : Hon. Stephen A. Douglas induced him to settle in Chica, but after a few years of unrequited efforts as a lawyer, ht moved to New York and entered the office of the late N.D Ellin vood (at 59 Exchange Place,) at that time one of most venerable ar d learned members of the legal profess Harrisse is still entitled to plead in our courts.

During two years he studied ology at the Louvre, under his friend Professor Mas- translated several papyri from the Hieratic, and com- menced a commentary on the Heretical Kings of the xvinth dynasty. At Mr. Barlow's urgent request he relinquished these studies and returned to American subjects, toiling henceforth and unremittingly and gratuitously, as usual, at the task of clearing up obscurities that rest upon the period of American discovery, which includes the voyages of Colum- bus, Vespucci, the Cabots, and Cortereal. Notwithstanding his sojourn in France, he retains his American citizenship. On the occasion of the Columbus quarter-centenary, Harrisse was made a Knight of the Legion of Honor by the French Government. Since 1854 he has published sixty-nine vol- umes md pamphlets in English, French, Spanish, and several other languages.
