The Rise and Fall in the Value of Books — Why one Book, though of the same Edition, is sometimes worth more than another [Bad Condition, " Cropping," Imperfect and " 3Iade-up " Books, Leaves in Fac-simile, " Laying down," Worm-Holes, Foxed Plates, Reprints, Bound-up Parts). In order to estimate the value o£ books with any degree of coiTectness, considerable experience, combined with a thorough knowledge of the market, is required ; and as none, except those whose business it is, can be expected to spend the large amount of time necessary to acquire the requisite information, it follows that the booksellers are the people who are chiefly competent to handle this difficult branch of bibliography. It is the booksellers who fix the price at which a book shall be sold, and they base theii* calculations primarily on the laws of supply and demand. B Z THE LIBRARY MANUAL. When the public cease to care for the works of any particular author, or wlien they, sometimes a little capriciously, are disposed to look favoural^ly upon those of a hitherto unknown man, the market gradually changes in exact accordance with the spirit of the times. Hence, a bookseller's catalogue of some twenty years ago bears but little resemblance, so far as quoted prices are con- cerned, to a similar catalogue of to-day. The market prices, which in process of time have fallen to their natui'al level, are retained in equilibrium simply by the fact that the dealers are not merely in the habit of buying from the public to sell to the jjublic again at an increased price; they buy from one another, and if any particular dealer is too ignoi-ant to make the most of his stock, it is a matter of certainty that others will transact his business for him, and, of coui'se, to his loss; or, in other words, they will buy the books which he has tmdervalued, and reap the profit themselves. It thus happens that dealers are able, to a great extent, to keep the market firm, and at prices which do not vary so much as the casual pui'chaser is apt to suppose. The condition of a book may, of coui'se, materially affect its value, and on this phase of the subject I shall have more to say later on. Assuming that the dealers regulate the prices of books, it must never be forgotten that the public are in reality masters of the situation, and that their tastes and in- clinations are accmrately reflected in the booksellers' cata- logues. Anyone who can tnily read such a document, wiU be able to gauge very correctly the literary taste of the day, and, by a comparison with older catalogues, follow the waves of thought and opinion through all the changes ■which time has brought about. We have now two main propositions : First, that popular taste points out what books to buy and what to avoid ; and, secondly, that the booksellers regulate their prices RISE AND FALL IN THE VALUE OF BOOKS. 3 according to the demand. How comes it tlien, it may be asked, that the public do not iiile the market them- selves, and so save the bookseller's profit? To which it may be answered that they would do so if they could, but that their want of cohesion and, in many cases, excessive anxiety on the part of individual collectors to buy at almost any price, precludes them from dominating at first hand. Knowledge must be bought, time must be expended, a sound jvidgment must be exercised in particular cases; and, as in every other business, people who smooth the path for others deserve to be recom- pensed. The booksellers certainly complain that the public have grown too wise nowadays, and that the same profits are not made as formerly ; but this is an obvious mistake. The real fact seems to be not that the public are more conversant with technical details, but that the market has settled down, through mere lapse of time. The booksellers who succeed the best are those who sell the most books, no matter at what price, so long as a pi-ofit on the original outlay is insiu-ed. We do not mean by this that anyone should dispose of a book, or any other article, under such circum- stances as practically to amount to a gift of it; but there is a wide difference between selling at a fair price and trying to sell at an exorbitant one. Most amateurs at the commencement of their investi- gations are siu-prised to find a book realising, say, £1 one day at auction, and another copy of the very same work bringing fi,ve or six times that amount the next. Is it that the popular demand has varied in the same degree overnight? Clearly not, for no such variation could legitimately occur in such a short space of time. The reason of the difference in price is chiefly based on some external superiority which one volume possesses over the other. This brings us to a branch of the subject which b2 4 THE LIBRARY MANUAL, is fortunately more easy to liandle than mere abstract speculations upon the eccentricities of taste and fasliion. Book collectors who pride themselves on their culture take especial care not to piu'chase any volume which is in bad condition. A book answering this description may be perfectly clean ; in fact, j)ai-adoxical as it may seem, mere sm'face dirt does not always imply inferiority: it is the least of all the evils, for it can be got rid of. The greatest enemy of books is an ignorant or reckless binder, for he can, with a single movement of his shears, detract enoi'mously from the value of any volume that comes to his hands. It is the rule and not the exception to find that, when a book returns from the binders, it has been cut or planed at the edges : sometimes only to a small extent, at others to the very head-lines. In either case the value is very materially reduced; sometimes, in bad cases, it sinks to zero, and what was a fair volume to gaze upon becomes a mere worthless wi'eck of its former self. Collectors, no matter of what articles, like the specimens in their possession to be the best of their kind, and above all things unmutilated. An engraving with its margin cut away is not looked upon with the same regard as one that is entire. A coin, worn out of all recognition, is not of the same value as another specimen from the same die which has its inscription clear and defined; and a book denuded of its margin is a horrible object in the eyes of those who frequently measui'e proportions to the fraction of an inch. An " uncut " book is consequently one that has its edges rough, or is, at any rate, in the same state in which it originally left the binder's hands — the word "uncut" not being synonymous with the expression " not cut open." To cut the leaves of a book with a paper-knife does no hann so long as the operation is skilfully performed; to have it re-bound and the edges smoothed on each of its DEFECTIVE BOOKS. 5 three sides is a barbarous and fatal, tliough exceedingly common, practice. We sbonld strongly advise tbe amatem- never to have any tiling to do with an imperfect book. Suppose, for the sake of example, that he is offered an original edition of any one of Dickens' numerous works, and on collation it is found to want one or more plates, or the title-page is missing. This, of course, reduces the selling price; but, unless the amateur has plenty of time on his hands, and is given to " making up " imperfect editions by siipplying the omissions from another copy — itself possibly imperfect in other respects — it is mere waste of money to pui'chase; for, when the book comes to be resold, the chances are that the difficulties in the way will be very great, for persons who buy imperfect books expect to get them for next to nothing. It is far better to reject the book altogether, and to wait until a more favo^^rable oppor- tunity arises. Books may not only be "cut down" and "imperfect," but they may be " made Tip," or the plates may be "laid down," or the book itself may be worm-eaten, torn, " foxed," or even a forgery. All these defects detract, of course, from the value, and the amateur will probably now begin to see why one copy may sell for £1 and another for more. It is merely the condition of the book that makes the difference. A " made-up " book is one which, though at one time imperfect, has been completed by the addition of leaves from another copy of the same edition. If this is well done, and the measiu-ement of the added leaves is the same as that of the others, there is not usually much objection to the process, nor indeed would the defect be at aU likely to be discovered ; biit if any of the pages are in fac-simile— and it must be remembered that there are book restorers who can copy with the pen in a way almost to defy detection — then in this case the value is very 6 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. materially reduced. An experienced workman of the name of Harris, wlio up to tlie time of his death was employed by the librarian of the British Museum, was one of the best copyists who ever lived, and much of his work is so excellently performed that it is quite impossible in many cases to distinguish the fac-similed leaf from the body of the work. A book containing plates should be examined to see that none of the latter are "laid down" or rebacked; for if this is found to be the case, the value falls on the instant. In old works the "laying down" process is generally applied to the frontispiece, as that being most fingered is likely to fall to pieces the sooner. In extreme cases a "laid-down" plate would, if placed in a basin of warm water, turn out to be a thing of shreds and patches : so torn and mutilated in fact, as to require piecing together again after the manner of a child's puzzle. For a " worm-eaten " book there is practically no cure, though the pulping process is occasionally employed, with indifferent success. Worm holes are caused by grubs, some of which bore through the leaves and bind- ing, while others confine their depredations to the "joints," and consume the bookbinder's paste. In hot countries mosquitoes also commit extensive ravages. The larvae of these formidable insects are not content with eating then* way out of a volume and leaving a small circular hole in. their wake, but they ruin entire leaves, frequently leaving nothing but a fragment, which falls to pieces at the touch. The best way to prevent the en- croachment of "book-worms" is to avoid beech wood, and to well sprinkle the libi'ary shelves with common snuff every few months. While this method is not infallible, it comes as near perfection as many of those complicated recipes which derive their efficacy probably as much from constant watchfulness and a cleanliness BINDING-TTP PARTS. 7 which continual applications necessitate as from any intrinsic excellence of their own. Plates are said to be "foxed" when they are marked with more or less extensive patches of a reddish-brown colour. It is possible to remove " fox marks " if the injiuy is taken in time, bnt not otherwise ; for damp corrodes the tissue of the paper. "Wlien a book has become so scarce as to be practically unattainable, it is frequently reprinted ; and as the object of a good reprint is to imitate the original as exactly as possible, cai'e must be taken that a modern copy is not substituted for the original. Reprints are not, as a rule* made for fraudulent purposes, but merely to enable col- lectors to have an exact copy of some very rare volume which they can never hope to possess in the original. Sometimes, however, a repiunt is palmed off on the unwary, though never wilfully by anyone, dealer or otherwise, who has a character to lose. We have shortly pointed out the chief reasons which render one book of more value than another, even when they both belong to the same edition of the same work, and will conclude this chapter with a word of caution which seems to be necessary, considering the numerous breaches of a very simple rule which are continually being brought to light. Many oi'iginal editions of the works of Dickens, Thackeray, Lever, Pierce Egan, and other modern authors, were issued in parts, and at the present time there is great anxiety displayed by collectors to procure as many of them as possible. Why a book in parts should be of gi-eater value than when it is bound, it is not easy to say, but the whims and fancies of collectors have to be humoured, and the fact remains that to bind the parts is to thi-ow so much money away. Thus, the average" auction value of a copy of the 1837 edition of the " Pickwick Papers," in parts, is about £8 ; 8 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. wten bound, it is qiiite the exception to get a bid of half that amount, while in most cases the value does not exceed £1 10s. If during the process of binding the edges are cut, then the value will sink still lower, according to the extent of the injury. If parts must be bound up let the edges remain "uncut," and be careful to preserve the pages of advertisements and even the original covers, for some other occult reason insists that this precaution shall be obsei-ved, at the peril of the owner. At the Mackenzie sale at Sotheby's, in March, 1889, a large number of works originally issued in parts were put up for competition. In nearly every instance the owner had taken especial care to have the parts bound up intact, covers, advertisements, and all, and the binders employed had been the best the country could produce. The prices realised wei'e enormous, though they would have been the reverse had one or two very simple rules been disregarded. • >—♦•<< CHAPTER II. Cleaning and Repairing Books — A Selection of Common Recipes. It was mentioned incidentally in tlie last chapter that there are methods of renovating books which are dirty, or otherwise out of condition. The word " dirt" must be held to include everything of a foreign nature which discolours the paper ; damp, that most difficult of all eyesores to remove, is therefore dirt, so is iron-mould, and so we may, by a stretch of imagination, designate even a worm-hole. Before giving some approved recipes for the removal of defects, it is well to remind the amateur that it is the height of folly to endeavour to clean a valuable work without a thorough and practical ^ knowledge of all the processes, and not only that, but of which one to apply in the particular case, as well. He must be able to diagnose, so to speak, the symptoms of the book, and not imagine that one general cleaning will suffice to obliterate all the marks. Paper of any kind of texture should therefore have the dirt upon it identified before any attempt is made to remove it, and if the book is very much out of condition, it will have to be taken to pieces by removing the cover and cutting the binder's thread. Needless to say, the leaves must not be torn out, as to do that would effec- tually prevent the rebinding. 10 THE LIBRAEY MANUAL,. Grease spots, if there are any, must be removed in the fii-st place, as the presence of fats of any kind may interfere with some of the other processes. For this pur- pose lay the leaf to be operated on, on a sheet of glass or other flat substance. Now take some perfectly clean blotting-paper or cotton-wool, and make it into a smooth pad, which having dipped into benzine, apply to the places where the grease spots are. Do not rub the marks, but pat them very gently again and again, until the spirit, thorouglily amalgamating with the fat, carries it ofE by evaporation. Another process of removing grease marks consists in covering the face of the spots with powdered chalk, and placing over it a piece of paper. If a hot iron is then pressed on the siu-face of the latter, the grease will speedily disapj)ear. For books, tliis recipe is much better than the one previously mentioned, which is in practice usually reserved for cleaning prints; these, of course, can be worked upon from the back. When the grease marks are removed, the page must be left to dry, and then given a general cleaning. There are many methods of doing this, but the milder the remedy, the more satisfactory the result. One of the simplest, and at the same time most effectual processes, is to place the leaf in a leaden trough, and to pour upon it a shallow surface of water. If this is exposed to the sun's rays for a day or two, everything but fixed stains or dyes will come out, and the leaf can then be turned and treated similarly on the other side. It must then be di-ied again, and as to this, care must be taken that it is not di-ied in the sun, or it will turn yellow. When the sun is not available, some other method of cleaning "svill necessarily have to be adopted, and perhaps the least obnoxious chemical mixture is that composed of one part of chloride of lime to about forty of water. The leaf to be operated upon must, in the first instance, be soaked in water, and placed in a shallow china dish. CLEANING AND REPAIRING BOOKS. 11 If tlie solution is then poured on the face and back of the leaf alternately it will bleach it quite white and remove most, though sometimes not all, of the stains. This process requires to be very carefully carried out, as the tendency of chloride of lime is to rot any material to which it is applied. This general surface-cleaning will, in many cases, be all that is required, but if some of the stains prove obstinate, or in part resist the process, it will be as well to touch the spots with nitro-hydrocliloric acid ; in fact, in very bad cases first one of these remedies and then the other will have to be tried before success is finally achieved. After this the leaf must be thoroughly washed in clear cold water, and the best way of doing this is to place it on a board, and hold it under a gentle stream until the whole of the chlorine is removed. Some experts use a mixture of chloride of lime, oxaUc acid, and water, which is ready to use the moment it is properly pro- portioned, that is to say when the liquid turns a magenta colour. In tliis case, also, a washing in cold water com- pletes the process. Another recipe is as follows : Place the leaf on a board, and then thinly cover it vidth the finest jjowdered salt. Lemon- juice must then be squeezed upon the surface and the salt dissolved, after which the leaf is washed clean in boiling water. The objections to this process are the diffi- culty of evenly impregnating the salt and the use of hot water, which, as may be imagined, is exceedingly dele- terious. However, if the experiment is adopted, the paper miist be allowed to dry gradually, and on no account be placed in the sun or before a fire. Damp is the great enemy of books as well as of prints, and if it has got a firm hold on the tissue of the paper the case is hopeless. Unlike mere surface dirt, damp attacks the fibre of the paper, rotting it through and practically ruining it. If. however, the injury has not 12 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. gone too far, the part affected may first of all be touched ■with a light wash of spirits of wine, and, when dry, with a weak solution of oxalic acid. If this remedy fails, it may be taken for granted that the " fox spots," as they are termed, have got a firm giip, and the only course remain- ing is to prevent them from spreading. The well-known affinity of lime for water may be made use of in pro- tecting books, for if saucers of this chemical are placed up and down the library, the damp in the atmosphere will be speedily attracted. It is curious that this obvious remedy should be so little known. There is a method of repairing holes caused by book- worms, but it is so tedious and generally so unsatisfactory that an explanation at any length would be superfluous. It consists in filling np the holes with pulped paper (prepared by chewing) which can be done by welding it in with a mallet, the process being somewhat similar to that adopted by gold-beaters, who do not rely so miich on the heaviness of their blows as on their number. When quite dry the paper which protrudes is cut off with a sharp razor and the edges of the circle touched with fish-size, made by boiling fish-bones in water with a little isinglass. We have heard of a lady who makes a " handsome income " by thus dexterously rej)airing the ravages of the book-worm, though there is reason to fear that a source of income such as this must be un- certain in the extreme. Chloride of lime and the other substances are quite powerless to remove some stains, and consequently it is better to leave the pure surface-cleaning until everything obnoxious has been removed. Thus, as already explained, grease marks ought always to be got rid of at an early stage, in the way pointed out ; and if any Indian-ink stains are observable, they should be assisted out with hot water . Pencil marks may be removed with bread, or — better still — by a washing of thin paste. Lead stains can be CLEANING AND BEPAIBING BOOKS. 13 got out by means of an application of peroxide of hydrogen, commonly called oxygenated water, which, owing to a chemical process hardly necessary to be ex- plained here, is in point of fact a bleacher. Another bleacher is hydrochloric acid, but while it wliitens and purifies the paper it rots it to such an extent that sometimes the leaf operated on will snap shortly off like a piece of paper which has been baked in an oven. The reader may note that sulphuric ether, turpentine, ammonia, benzine, and naphtha will all remove grease stains, and that oxalic acid, citric acid, and tartaric acid in solution will eliminate wi-iting ink without in any way acting on the printer's ink. This latter is a fact specially worth remembering. Once more let it be said that to satisfactorily clean a printed page requires great patience and a vast amount of experience. The danger lies in the fact that not only will the dirt come out, but the printed matter as well, unless skill be brought to bear in order to prevent such a catastrophe. Wortliless books are not worth even cleaning; valuable ones should be placed in the hands of an expert. The above remarks are applicable more or less to the renovation of prints, and in fact to paper of any kind which contains printed matter. Some papers, however, are more fibrous than others, and this fact fiu'nishes another element which has to be taken into consideration in every attempt to make new books out of old. In many cases the leather binding of old books will be found to be broken, rubbed, or decayed. When this is the case, plaster the part affected with paste to fill up the holes ; then take the yolk of an egg, beat it up with a fork, and apply it to the leather with a sponge, having first cleansed it with a dry cloth. To produce a polished sui^face, a hot ii'on must be passed over the leather. There is also a varnish made in France, called "French 14 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. varnish for leather," which costs about lOs. a ponnd ; it may be had at any oil and colour man's. Many other nsefnl recipes will also be found in Bonnardot's " Essai siu- I'Art de Restaurer les Estampes et les Livi-es " (Paris, 1858), a work described as being one of the best on the subject, and full of laseful hints. To describe the well-known materials, such as morocco, russia, calf, and the rest, would be unnecessary, as they are perfectly well known to most people, whether book collectors or not. Their applicability to any par- ticular class of work depends, of course, on the question of price, and also, in a great measure, upon taste. Some collectors have as many of their books bound alike as possible, and taste would seem to require that the binding should be " neat, not gaudy " ; for nothing looks so much out of place as a row of gilded volumes, and nothing certainly could better describe the habits of tlieir owner. Let books, therefore, be well bound, always remembering that a profiTsion of gilt is to be deprecated, since it adds greatly to the expense, and does not maintain its bril- liancy for any length of time. A half-bound book (a book which has the comers and back only covered with leather, and the sides with paper or cloth), with just sufficient lettering to enable the title to be discovered by inspection, would seem to be the most wearable. In some instances, of course, to rebind a book is simply to spoil it — for many volumes derive their value solely from the cui'ious character of the binding, and this is chiefly observable in specimens of typography issued from the earlier presses. In these instances, the work shoiold be preserved in its original frame as long as it will hold together; and even then it will, in most cases, be more judicious to have the binding rej)aired than the work re-bound. CHAPTER III. The Sizes of BooTcs — Latin Names of Towns — The System of Roman Notation. Paper used in the manufacture of books is made in large sheets, which are afterwards cut to the required size. Not that each piece of paper printed upon consists of two leaves — like a sheet of writing paper — afterwards stitched together with many others of similar dimensions. This would be too primitive a method, and remind us too forcibly of the proverbial triangle to satisfy the requirements of the present century when books are published in such prodigious numbers. In fact it is not probable that such a system was employed even in the earliest days, for a perfectly obvious course, and one that saves immense trouble, is to print the entire sheet and subsequently to fold it as required. The method of doing this will be explained by the aid of a simple illustration, biit in the meantime the reader must note the dimensions which sheets of paper commonly assume. The old fashioned paper-makers' moulds had fixed measurements, but this is not always the case at the present day, so that considerable variety exists in the sizes of papers, even of those bearing the same name. Though confusing in cases where acciu'acy is rigidly demanded, this disparity is not likely to very greatly in. 17 by in. 13. V 18t by 15^ 20i by 16.1 20 by 15^ 20 by 30 24 by 19 30 by 22 28 by 23 34 by 26 16 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. inconvenience the amateur, for the difference of an inch or two in the measm-ement of a whole sheet becomes less noticeable when the latter is folded into quires. The following measurements in inches will therefore be found sufficiently coirect for om* purpose. It must be remem- bered that these dimensions are for the whole sheet as it lies flat on the table and before it is folded : Foolscap . Post Large Post Demy Crown Royal Imperial Elephant . Atlas From the names given to these various papers a system of classification of books has sprung up which, though confusing in the fii-st instance, becomes easy enough to comprehend after a little practice. The question is often heard asked : " What size is this book ? " and the answer " Octavo " (8vo) is equally familiar. The answer may, however, refer to Quarto (4to) or Folio, or have reference to some of the smaller- sized volumes, such as Duodecimo (12mo) or Twenty- fours (24mo). So also we may have Foolscap 8vos, Post 8vos, Demy 8\os, Crown 8vos, or Royal 8vos ; or, on the other hand. Crown 4tos or Royal 4tos, and Imperial, Elephant, and Atlas folios, respectively. All these books are different in measurement, and are so commonly quoted in cata- logues that it is necessary to know something of them. It will be seen that a book, whether 24mo, 12mo, 8vo, 4to, or folio, may be made of paper of any size, and that it is the name of the paper which creates the distinction between one kind of 8vo, &c., and another. SIZES OF BOOKS. 17 For instance, let the reader take a sheet of brown paper measuring 17in. by ISlin. This is about the measure- ment of a sheet of foolscap, as will be observed from a glance at the foregoing table. Take the sheet of paper, which will be found to be oblong in shape, and place it thus : Fold it at AA, then at BB, and finally at CC, when the paper will be of the size represented by B D C C ; that is to say, one-eighth of the whole sheet of foolscap. In this way we arrive at the expression " Foolscap 8vo." Similarly, 8vos may be made from Post, Large Post, Demy, Crown, Royal, or Imperial papers, and as the whole sheet becomes larger, so also does the book made from it. A 4to book could be made by folding at AA and then at BB, a folio by folding at A A only. The sizes Elephant and Atlas are used exclusively for folio books, which are of the shape of 8vo, only very much larger. Quartos, on the other hand, are always square; while 12mos are again of the shape of Svos, though smaller. Anyone who is accustomed to handle books can guess at their size with sufficient accuracy to answer every c 18 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. practical purpose, and furtlier than this it is hardly necessary to go. Some theorists, however, have provided themselves with arguments which completely upset the time-worn practice of many generations of booksellers, and according to them it is quite possible for a book which looks of the folio size to be in reality a quarto, or vice versa ; while an 8vo, on the other hand, may be square. We are unable at present to follow the course of reasoning put forward by these specialists, and, under any circumstances, it is quite unnecessary for the amateur to trouble himself with fine-drawn distinctions, which may exist in particular cases, but which are certainly not accepted as a general rule. We ai'e now able to see how books of various sizes are made up, though we have yet to learn of what size a bound book placed before us may be. This fortunately is easy, owing to the presence of what are known as " signatures" — those little nmnbers or letters, or both, found at the foot of many pages of almost every book, and which were first introduced as a guide to the binder by Antonio Zorat, of Milan, in the year 1470. As the true size of a volume is determined by the number of leaves into which the paper is folded, and as these " signatures " appear at stated intervals, all that is necessary is to count the leaves (not pages) between signature and signature and then to refer to the following table : Folio consists of 2 leaves (that is, four pages) between sig- nature and signature. Quarto (4to) consists of 4 leaves ; that is, 8 pages. Octavo (8vo) consists of 8 leaves ; that is, 1 6 pages. Duodecimo (12mo) consists of 12 leaves; that is, 24 pages. Sixteenmo (16mo) consists of 16 leaves ; that is, 32 pages. Thirty-twomo (32mo) consists of 32 leaves ; that is, 64 pages. Sixty-fourmo (64mo) consists of 64 leaves ; that is, 128 pages. Although there are other smaller sizes, such as 72mo, 128mo, and the like, and many variations which are SIZES OF BOOKS. 19 more or less arbitrary, they are very rarely met with. When they occur, the same principle of computation may usually be followed ; or, as a fiirther test, the binder's thread which runs through the middle of every sheet may be observed, and in this case the number of leaves from one thread to the next will give the same result. Occasionally, but very rarely, some old books have no signatures, and when this is the case the size may be obtained from the position of the watermark. Hold one of the pages to the light; then if the watermark is in the middle of the page, the book is folio ; if at the bottom and cut in half, it is 4to ; if at the top and also cut in half, 8vo ; and if on the outer edge. <;ither 12mo or 16mo. Examples being frequently useful to explain a position which at first sight may not appear altogether clear, it may be observed that the Graphic and Illustrated London Neivs are in folio. Punch and most other comic papers in 4to, while Cornhill, the Leisure Hour, Good Words, in fact most of the monthlies, together with the " Library Manual " the reader now holds in his hand, are all examples of different sizes of 8vo. Every title-page contains, or should contain, the name of the work, the name of the author, the publisher's name and address, and the date ; and, so far as the actual reading of these is concerned, nothing can be easier. It is far different, however, with some of the books printed in the fifteenth, sixteenth, and seventeenth centuries, for the name of the town from which the book was issued does not bear, in many instances, the slightest resemblance to its appellation of tcf-day. For example, there is an edition of Tacitus described as being printed at " Lugd. Bat.," in the year 1640. The Avords " Lugd. Bat." would not strike everyone as standing for the University City of Leyden, or Leida as it was anciently called. The words in full are " Lusdunum Batavorum," 20 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. and it was from this city of Leyden that so many beautiful specimens of the Elzevir Press proceeded. So, also, the date will frequently be found written in Roman numerals, occasionally inverted, causing the greatest inconvenience to anyone who is not familiar with them. We shall, therefore, in this chapter give a list of towns where printing was anciently earned on, with their English equivalents, and then add a few remarks on numeration, so that the learner may be prepared for further progress. The Latin names of the towns are given in alphabetical order, and the dates refer to the fii'st establishment of the printing press in the localities referred to. Abbatis Villa.

Tlie foregoing list does not, of course, comprise all tlie places where printing was anciently carried on; on the contrary, numberless small and unimportant toivns possessing one or more presses were scattered all over Europe, from which copies of books were rapidly issued, and are frequently met with. A very comj)lete list of these will be found in Dr. Cotton's " Typographical Gazetteer," to which the reader is referred for any fm'ther information he may require. With respect to the dates at the foot of the title- pages of these pld works, we have ab-eady said that the Roman system of notation was often adopted. As this frequently gives rise to considerable perplexity, it may be observed that when a line is found over a numeral its value is thereby increased a thousand- fold, thus: YIII = 8; Ylll = 8000. As we have not yet arrived at the year 2000 Anno Domini, the only numeral likely to be affected is I standing for the imit, which is sometimes made to do duty for a thousand in the shape of I , leaving the centuries to be added according to the circumstances of the case. The form TDXXXI is equal therefore to MDXXXI, or, as we should write it, 1531. There were, however, no less than six different Avays of writing a thousand, namely : CIq, CD, 00< J\ > *^> ^■ The third, fourth, and fifth of these signs are purely arbitrary, and should be made a note of. The ordinary numerals used by the Romans were I for 1, V for 5, X for 10, L for 50, C for 100, D or Iq for 500, M or CIo for 1000 ; and when any character was followed by one of less or equal value, the expression denoted the sum of their simple values, but when preceded by one of less value, the difference. Thus III stood ROMAN NOTATION. 25 for 3, IV for 4, and YI for 6, XL for 40, LXX for 70, and so on. Every Q added to Iq and every C and Q joined to CIq increased its value tenfold ; thus, Iqq = 5000. It is the double form of the D standing for 500 which gives rise to most of the difficulties experienced by amateurs ; but when it is remembered that D and Iq constitute one and the same symbol, and that CIq is equivalent to 1000, the method of calculating will be seen to l)e very easy and simple. One or two examples of symbols in common use wiU illustrate most of the cases likely to be met with : MFqX = 1510; MDX = 1510; ClQloCX = 1610; MDCX = 1610. In the example CIoIoCX, which appears so complicated, CIq equals, as stated above, 1000, 1q is only another form of D representing 500, C stands for 100, and X for ten, and these amounts added together make 1610.

The list of technical terms wliicli follows has been compiled from various sources, but principally from " Power's Handy Book about Books," published in 1870 by the late John Wilson, of 11, King William Street, Strand, London, a work now out of print. Advance Sheets. — Sometimes called " Early copies." Portions of a work supplied elsewhere previous to publication, generally for simultaneous reproduction. Many English authors supply "advance sheets" to American publishers, so that the work can be brought out in England and America simultaneously. AUonym. — A false proper name. A work published to deceive, under the name of some author, but not by him, as "Peter Parley's Annual." Almanack Day. — The day on which almanacks are issued by the publishers to the trade, usually November 21st in every year. Anastatic Printing. — A mode of obtaining fac-simile im- pressions of any printed page or engraving without re-setting the types or re-engraving the plate The page to be copied is first saturated with a solution of nitric acid, which does not affect the printer's ink. A transfer is then taken on a plate of zinc, which is in process of time eaten away by the acid from the non-printed part of the page. This leaves the printed portion in relief. Anonymoiis. — Without a name. Apoconym. — A name deprived of one or more of its initial letters. TECHNICAL TERMS. 2/ « Autlwr's Proof. — The proof taken after the first proof is cor- rected, and sent to the author for correction or amendment. Autonym. — An author's real name. JBnn(Zs. — Pieces of leather, cardboard, or other suitable substance glued to the back of a book previous to covering. The space between these is called " between bands." The strings whereon the sheets of a volume are sewn. Bnfitard Fount. — Small-faced type upon a larger body, adopted for the purpose of making the printed pages look as if the lines had been spaced out, or "leaded," as it is called. Bazil. — Tanned sheepskin, used for common bindings. Books bound in sheepskin are sometimes described in catalogues by the contraction " shp." B ark Letter. — A peculiar kind of type formerly used in this country, generally known elsewhere as " Flemish or German character. ' ' Specimen of ^Blacfe Letter* Bloclc Boolcs. — Books printed from blocks of wood engraved on one side of the leaf only. Boards. — Books are sometimes described as being in "boards." This refers to the binding, and they are so described when bound in millboard. Cloth-bound books did not come into vogue until about 1826. Bools Uncut. — An uncut book is one that has not been primed by the binder's knife. It is a mistake to suppose that the term has reference only to those books which have not been cut for reading, for, even if tbey have, they may be still "uncut" in the technical sense of the term. Bosse.?. — Plates of metal or other hard substance formerly attached to the corners of books as a jireservation against injury. Bourgeoif. — A description of type ranking in size immediately after long primer. Specimen of Bourgeois Type. Brace. — A character cut in metal, thus /-^^.y-.^^-^. Brevier. — A very common type. Specimen of Brevier Type. Brilliant. — The smallest sized type in use in this country. Specimen of B.illi«nt Tjre. Broadside. — One full page, printed on one side only of a whole sheet of paper. 28 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Canon. — This is the largest type that has a specific name. There are, however, larger descriptions of type, which are frequently termed four, five, six, &c., line pica. The following is an example of canon type : Canon. Catchword. — The last word occurring after the last line of a page, ?uch word being repeated immediately on the top of the following page. Catchwords are still used in Acts of Parlia- ment and a few official documents. Chap BooJc. — A small book or pamphlet carried about for sale by hawkers. " Last dying speeches and confessions " are familiar examples of chap books. Chronogram. — An inscription sometimes found in old books in which a certain date is expressed by Roman numerals, as, for example: "My Day Closed Is In Immortality," the result being MbCIII, th3 year in which Queen Elizabeth died. Ci.— Cloth. Colophon. — The conclusion of a book which contains formal matter only, such as the date or place of publication. Diamond. — One of the smallest sized types in use in Eng- land ; there are 2800 letters to a pound weight. Specimen of Diamond Type. Double Book. — A book printed on half sheets. Double Pica. — A type about twice the size of small pica. Double Pica Type. Duodecimo. — Sometimes called twelve-mo, and generally writteii 12mo. A book printed on paper folded into twelve leaves ; that is, twenty-four pages. The signatures are B, B 2, and B 3 on the first, third, and ninth pages. En.erald. — A type of a size between nonpareil and minion, and now but little used. However, for the sake of consistency, we give an example : Specimen of Emerald Type. End Papers. — The blank leaves at the beginning and end of a book. More commonly called fly leaves. TECHNICAL TERMS. 29 English. — A type the next size larger than pica, and gene- rally used for large Bibles. Specimen of English Type. Extra. — Sometimes described as "Calf Extra," or "Morocco Extra." A term applied to a book which is bound in a superior manner, well " forwarded," lined with good marble paper, and has silk "headbands," and gilt with a narrow roll round the sides and inside the "squares" (for the meaning of which see post). Fac. — Small wooden or metal square blocks, with emblematical figures carved thereon, having a hole in the centre to admit a capital letter. The large and fantastically graven initial letters sometimes seen at the commencement of every chapter are produced by " Facs." Folio. — A term referring to the size of a book printed on paper folded into two leaves, or four pages. Forrell. — Rough skins, anciently used for binding purposes. Forwarding. — The art of the bookbinder, comprising all his work up to the time when it is ready for colouring. Great Primer. — A type sometimes called "Bible Text." Specimen of Great Primer Type. Grooves. — The projections formed on the sides of books in backing, to admit of the boards lying even with the back when laced in. Half Bouyid. — When the back and corners only of a book are covered with leather and the sides with paper or cloth, it is said to be half bound : " hf . bd." in catalogues. Headband. — The overlapping material at the top and bottom of the back of a book. Imprint. — The name of the place where any particular book was printed. Its Own Paper. — When several sheets of a work are printed on the paper that the whole work is intended to be printed on, it is said to be "pulled on its own paper." Large Paper. — Paper of an extra size. It often happens that a limited number of books forming an edition are printed off on larger paper than the rest. Such works are larger in measure- ment and have wider margins. The value is also greater. Lithograpluj . — The art of engraving on stone and transfer- ring the impression to paper. 30 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Logotype. — A whole word cast in one Ijlock is a logotype ; the system never prevailed to any extent, as compositors prefer to spell their words out for themselves rather than have a multiplicity of little boxes in the cases. Long Primer. — A type supposed to bear its name from the fact that it was at one time universally employed in printing primers. Specimen of Long Primer Type, Millloard. — A thick kind of paper, used for the covering of books. Uefore the employment of pasteboard and millboards, books were either bound in calf or left unbound like modern French novels. Minion. — The name of a type half the size of English, and sometimes used for newspapers. Specimen of Minion Type. Nonpareil. — A type smaller than minion and larger than pearl. Specimen of Nonpareil Type. Octavo. — Contraction, oct., 8vo, already described as the size of a book printed on paper folded into eight leaves, or sixteen pages. The signatures are B, B 2, on pages 1 and 3, C, C 2, on pages 17 and 19, &c. The usual sizes are Imperial 8vo, Royal 8vo, Demy 8vo, Crown 8vo, Post 8vo, and Foolscap 8vo. Out of Print. — A book is said to be out of print when the publisher has no more copies on hand. Pamphlet. — Any work which does not exceed five sheets octavo ; that is to say, 80 pages. Paragon. — A type one size larger than Great Primer, but which is now very nearly obsolete. Pasteboard. — A substance used in bookbinding, and made of sheets of paper glued together. Pasteboard superseded the old wooden boards, and was itself superseded by millboard, which, in its turn, has been almost entirely superseded by ■cloth. Pearl. — A type used principally for pocket Bibles, dictionaries, and the like. Specimen of Pearl Type. Pica. — The standard type by which all other sizes of type are classified. Specimen of Pica Type. Quarfo.— Contraction, 4to. The size of a book printed on paper folded into four leaves, or eight pages. The signatures are B on page 1, C on page 9, D on page 17, &c. TECHNICAL TERMS. 31 Recto. — Used to denominate the page of a book x^rinted on the right-hand side, always the odd page. Register. — A term used in printing when one page is exactly printed on the back of another. Reprint. — Sometimes called Excerpt. The whole or part of a re-issued book. Ruby. — A type one size larger than pearl and smaller than nonpareil ; it is half the size of small pica. Specimen of Ruby Type. Script. — The name of a type made to imitate writing. Sexdecimo. — Contraction, 16mo. The size of a book or paper folded into 16 leaves, making 32 pages. Signatures. — The capital letters or figures under the foot line of the first page of each sheet of a book, to indicate their order in binding. The invention of signatures is usually accredited to Antonio Zorat, of Milan, in the year 1470. Small Pica. — A type one size smaller than pica and larger than long primer. Specimen of Small Pica Type, Squares. — The portion of the boards of a volume which project over the edges. Super-eitra. — Has reference, like "extra," to the binding of a book, which must, in order to earn this title, be '"forwarded " in the best manner, with coloured "endpapers," double "head- bands," and broad " registers." Superiors. — Small letters or figures placed above a word and liaving reference to a foot-note are called superiors. Tail-Piece. — An ornament placed in a short page to fill up the space. T.e.g. — Top edges gilt. Type. — The letters employed in printing, usually cast in metal. Many of the different kinds of type, principally those in ordinary use have been already described. Besides these, however, there are other types, such as "Trafalgar," "two-line English," "two- line doifble pica," " two-line great primer," and " two-line pica." Verso. — The page of a book on the reverse or left-hand side, in contradistinction to the recto, and therefore always the even page. 32 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Vignette. — Formerly any kind of printer's ornaments, as heads, flowers, and tail-pieces ; more recently any kind of woodcut, engraving, &c., not enclosed within a definite border. Water Mnrk. — An ornamental figure placed upon the wires of the mould, leaving its impression on the paper as it dries. A "water mark " will be found on every Bank of England note and in nearly all books. T.e. — Yellow edges. In tlie above list of teclinical terms it will probably be noticed tbat no attempt has been made to describe the different kinds of papers. This is owing to the fact of there being a large number of distinct varieties, an enumeration of which would convei-t any work that dealt with them into a description of the paper trade. It must be remembered that whatever the kind of paper employed, whether toned or white, the sheets are generally of the dimensions given ; and the size of the paper, with a view to the determination of the size of the book, is all that need interest the general reader. A special kind known as " india-paper " may, however, be referred to, since the term is often used in catalogues. Once seen, there is no mistaking this paper. It is a very superior but very thin toned paper, used chiefly for taking early impressions of engravings. The earlier the impression, the more valuable the print ; and con- sequently impressions on india-paper are generally re- garded as superior to all others. Books are frequently found with plates on india-paper, and the fact of their being thus embellished adds materially to the value of the copy. CHAPTER V. The Colophon and Title-Page — The Bibliographers — General and Special Works of Reference. The title-page, such as we see it, though a very old method of declaring in a few words the main object of the book and by whom it was written, printed, or published, where, and when, is, comparatively speaking, a modem method of attaining that end. None of the ancient manuscripts had title-pages so far as we are aware, and when printing by means of movable types was introduced the old-fashioned "Colophon" was still adhered to. This colophon, or finishing sti-oke, is found at the end of a volume, and usually sets forth the printer's name and the date when the work was finished or published. This system continued until 1491, the year of Caxton's death, when it began to fall into disrepute, and from that date to the present time the title-page has been almost universally adopted. No books printed by Caxton and none before his time, consequently, contain title-pages ; and if the reader should come across any old work printed before 1491, he must turn to the end for the purpose of acquiring any detailed information of the kind mentioned. Books printed in England before 1491 are so excessively rare that it is in the last degree improbable that the amateur will ever possess a specimen, but foreign-printed books are often D 34 THE l.IBRARY MANUAL. met with, and the opportunity of consvilting a colophon may occasionally arise. These early-printed volumes are, however, becoming scarcer every year ; many find their way into public libraries, while others are destroyed by fire or the thousand-and-one accidents to which books are, in common with other destructible articles, peculiarly liable. It is an axiom well understood by all collectors of books that the value of a library depends entirely upon the skill of the collector. A mass of books brought together on no principle, and without any, or with but little, regard to classification, can hardly be called a library, even although the collection may consist of many thousands of volumes. What is required is that the shelves shall contain a sufficient number of works upon some special subject, or upon any subject, and that they shall be selected with a due regard for utility. It is of course impossible for any collector, whether he be a single person or a body corporate, such as the British Museum, to form a complete collection of all the works extant ; all that can be attempted is to amass a sufficient number of really useful books, the best of their class, and as cheaply and expeditiously as possible. The trustees of the British Museum have nearly 2,000,000 volumes in their possession; and these probably do not represent one-third of the number that might be collected. In the formation of a private library the only guides that can be laid down are individual tastes and habits. Some may wish to form a collection of works of fiction only ; others may be scientifically inclined ; others, again, may have a taste for philosophy or the fine arts, and may seek to possess themselves of no other works but such as refer to any of these subjects. By far the greater class of book collectors would, however, THE BIBLIOGBAPHERS. 35 seem to accumulate anything that may happen to come in their way. Bibliography is a science, and the practical impossibility of acquiring a complete grasp of the subject during the compass of a lifetime leads many persons to devote themselves to some particular branch, in which at least they hope to become proficient ; but as they proceed they find that there is no such thing as finality, and that even a limited field of investigation contains much that they can never hope to explore. Tear by year, however, progress is made, and if we cannot reach the goal, we may at any rate approach nearer to it; and to those who are interested in their journey, much pleasant diversion may be experienced on the way. Guides are in all cases needed, for without them the journey must be commenced afresh, and every foot of soil explored anew. The labours of many generations of bibliogi'aphers have amassed a vast store of learning: this has been analysed and digested by their successors, who in their turn have added something to the common stock of knowledge. The result of their researches has often been published, and the road they travelled mapped oiit, so that at the present time we are in possession of facts which, had they not been collected and verified, might and most probably would have become entirely lost through lapse of time. Although the study of bibliography is a vastly different thing from the mere collection of a greater or smaller number of books, the two have undoubtedly much in common. Without the efforts of the biblio- grapher — who wi-ites about and records the circumstances connected with books — the collector would remain in comparative ignorance. Most large collectors are biblio- grapher.s as well, for he who puts pen to paper with the object of describing a single volume in his possession D 2 36 THE LIBBARY MANUAL. earns that title to a greater or less extent. His words may be a guide hereafter, when the opportunity of collecting evidence has gone, and he distinctly adds to the common knowledge and contributes to the advantage of those who come after him. To guide us on om- way books are consequently necessary, and the deeper our researches the more numerous and abstruse they become. In a short treatise like this, however, all that can be done is to point just a little way in advance, and the books requisite for this modest pei'formance are fortunately easily accessible and limited in number. One of the first to confront the reader will be Lowndes' " Bibliographer's Manual," published by Bell and Sons of York Street, Covent Garden. This work gives a list of English-published books from the earliest times, an-anged under the authors' names, and pi'ofessedly brought down to the year 1871, although, as a matter of fact, it is somewhat deficient. If by no means reliable, it is nevertheless an indispensable book of reference, since it is referred to in most catalogues ; besides which, there is no other work which exactly fills its place. Lowndes' plan was to collate books of importance and also to give their auction values. The collations are good, bxit the prices affixed have become so tmreliable as to be worse than useless. The only work which gives a list of books sold at auction and the prices realised, bears the title of " Book Prices Cui-rent " ; it is edited by myself, and published by Elliot Stock, 62, Paternoster Row, in quarterly parts. Its object is to afford reliable informa- tion about every book sold, with the purchaser's name and the price paid for it. A very full and compre- hensive index at the end of the year enables the person consulting it to turn to some thousands of volumes GENERAL WORKS OF REFERENCE. 37 and to obtain a good idea of their average value. Four annual volumes have ah-eady been published, at a charge of £1 7s. 6d. each. Neither Lowndes' work nor " Book Prices Current " contain subject-indexes, and in this dilemma we must consult Watt's " Bibliotheca Britannica," 4 vols., 4to, 1824, two volumes of which consist entirely of a list of subjects of every conceivable kind, with cross- references to the other two volumes containing the authors' names. From 1824 to the present date the subject-indexes of the " English Catalogue " may be consulted, and so the chain is complete. Another work which can be recommended is Sonnen- schein's " The Best Books," published by Swan Sonnen- schein and Co., at £1 Is. ; but, as the title implies, this publication does not profess to contain more than a selection of works made in the discretion of the author. The reader will not find here a general bibliographical dictionary such as that furnished by Watt's " Bibliotheca Britannica." Another subject-index, but one which has reference only to works actvially in print, and which can be procured at first hand from the booksellers, ia the " Catalogue of Current Literature." This is the most useful book of the kind published, and is very skilfully compiled from a large number of publishers' catalogues, which form the body of the work. The above five books may fairly be said to cover the subject so far as general English woi'ks of reference are concerned, though there are many others dealing with particular branches of bibliography which may have to be consulted either occasionally or continually according to circumstances. Much depends upon the question whether the collector is a general lover, in which case he should find the works already mentioned sufficient for general pui-poses, or whether he follows 38 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. some distinct branch of his subject, such for instance as that which embraces original editions of popuhir modern authors, about which there is at the present time so much inquiry. In the latter event he must be master of his subject, and there is iio reason why he should not be, if he will provide himself with the best guides and study them in an intelligent fashion. It is a common complaint, and one that is based on considerable truth, that bibliographical works are expensive. In this respect they rank with all other special treatises, for where the demand is limited the price is necessarily high. Medical works are very expensive, so are law books, simply because the sale is limited. Novels, on the other hand, are cheap, and it is no uncommon thing to find that as the sale increases, editions cheaper still are published to satisfy the popular demand. Even bibliographical works may be obtained at reduced rates by advertising in The Bazaar, Exchange and Mart newspaper, or by waiting imtil a favourable opportimity of purchase an-ives.

Some twenty or thirty years ago it was the fashion to collect works of sterling merit from famous old Presses ; and although popular taste has since become in a great measure diverted into other channels, it still remains necessary to know something about these old printers and the works they piiblished, for in the earliest days of the art the printer was frequently his own author and publisher, and even his own binder. The most famous Press of antiquity was that estab- lished by Aldus Manutius at Venice in 1494, which continued under the superintendence of his son, Paolo Manutius, and his grandson, Aldus, jun., until 1597, a period of exactly 103 years, and during that time many hundreds of classical works, remarkable for their purity of text no less than for excellence of workman- ship, made their appearance. The device adopted by Manutius was the well-known Anchor and Dolphin, which first appears on the Dante of 1502, and is supposed to have been boiTOwed from Benedetto Mantegna's wood block in Colonna's " Reveries of Polyphilus," which was published in 1499. The famous Virgil issued from this Press in 1501 was the first book ever printed in italics, a form of type modelled after the neat handwriting of Petrarch, and which of course is familiar to everyone who opens a book. 42 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Many works from the Aldine Press are extremely rare and still command high pi'ices, but as a rule they have fallen in value from 30 to 50 per cent, in recent years, sharing the fate of all classical works, which — exceptions apart — ^have been abandoned by col- lectors in favour of less exacting works of modem date, which will be referred to rather fully further on. Aldus Manutius, the founder of the Press bearing his name, was a fine example of the painstaking man of letters. Every moment of his time was occupied; for five years, as he himself confesses, he never passed a peaceful hour, and the result of his labours was a collection of the works of the best Greek and Latin authors, in many instances rescued from decaying manuscripts, and repx'oduced with the corrections which generations of slavish copying had rendered necessary. As previously stated, the Aldine collector's guide is the well-known Renouard's " Annales de I'lmprimerie des Aide," Pai'is, 3 vols., 8vo, 1825, in which will be found arranged in chronological order an account of every known production of this Press. The little books known as "Elzevirs " have been in great demand almost from the time of their publication, and French bibliographers manifest an extraordinary interest in them even at the pi'esent time. In England they ai*e not so highly esteemed, but even here good copies of the " right " dates sell for high prices. The Elzevir Press was established by Louis Elzevir at Leyden in 1583. He had several sons, among whom were Matthieu, Louis, and Bonaventure ; from these were descended the famous printers who carried on business at both Leyden and Amstei'dam, and whose names became familiar the world over as producers of cheap, admirably-printed books at a time when paper and print were expensive and technical skill at a discount. The productions of the Elze^dr Press are, however. OLD PRINTERS AND OLD PRESSES 4.'] not to be compared with those of Aldus Manutius from a cUissical point of view. The former abound in errors, showing that the care and attention bestowed upon them were confined to the choice of paper and the casting of elegant type : the latter are the most splendid classical monuments the world has seen, and serve as models to this day for most of our modern productions of a similar nature. In other words, the Elzevir classics were the work of men skilled in mechanical details : the Aldine classics, of scholars, by whom Greek and Latin were as easily understood and as deeply studied as their native Italian. Notwith- standing this, the productions of the Elzevir Press are at present more in favour with bookworms, and in this instance at least purity of text has had to give way to elegance of workmanship. Elzevir collectors pin their faith to M. Willems' work, mentioned in the previous chapter, and from this every possible information may be gathei-ed. Of the 1603 different publications of the Press, 1213 of which bear the name or device of the firm which issued them, only one volume is printed in English, the I'emainder being in Latin, Greek, French, Flemish, German, Italian, and Hebrew. Amateurs who make the Elzevir Press their special study are very careful to see that any volume offered for sale is not "cut down," and also that the date is a " right " date, or, in other words, that the edition is a good one. To such a nicety has critical inquiry been reduced, that the pecuniary value of any specimen from the Elzevir Press depends on its measurement in millimetres quite as much as on the date of the edition. Anything below 125 millimetres may as a rule be at once thrown in the waste-paper basket, while a book which measures 20 millimetres higher is a joy for ever to its possessor. Considering that there are about 44 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. 25 millimetres to the inch, and that a book of good measurement may be worth £100 or more, while if cut down below the fashionable height it would certainly not be worth more than as many shillings, and perhaps not that, it will be seen that an inch of paper may be of the greatest possible importance from a pecuniai*y point of view, and that poverty sometimes lurks in the binder's shears. The " right " dates of books issued from the Leyden Press begin from 1625, and any work published there between that year and 1655 is capable of turning out a prize. The Amsterdam Press was at its highest repute between the years 1655-80, and these are conse- quently the " right " dates so far as that Press is concerned. The reader must not, however, run away under the impression that any work bearing a date which seems " right " is necessarily so, because it may have passed through several editions, and as a rule it is only the first that has any special value. The marks of the Elzevir Press differed at varioiis periods ; the best known — the Sphere — was first used in 1626 by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevir; but there are several other devices almost equally well-known, such, for example, as the Hermit. Minerva, and the Eagle on a Cii^pus, with a sheaf of seven arrows in its claw. One of the most beautiful books issued from this Press was the Caesar of 1635, the first and second editions of which are so much alike that but for certain misprints in the first — the right edition — ^it is impossible to tell the difference between them. The Yirgil of 1636 is another very fine example, while a copy of the rarest work of all, known as the " Pastissier Francois," once sold in Paris for no less than 10,000 francs. The last-named was entirely " uncut," and measui'ed 132 millimetres ; had it been the fifth of an inch less, 1000 francs would have been an ample price to pay. OLD PRINTERS AND OLD PRESSES. 45 All this seems very like book-madness, and perhaps it is ; but, while the fever lasts, it is well to be acquainted with its peculiarities. There are many of these little Elzevirs here and there ; most are worthless, but out of the heap of rubbish a good example is sometimes rescued. In Willems' " Les Elzevier " the reader wiU find everything he can possibly require, including important items of measurement and all the learning relating to " right " dates, head- and tail-pieces, errors, petits et graiids formats, and printer's marks on the titles. For many years collectors have made the Aldine and Elzevir Presses special branches of study, because it has always been possible to form a good collection of really beautiful works, illustrative of either, without any very great expenditure of money or loss of time. This is far from being the case with most of the other early Presses and their productions. In some cases the workmanship is bad, so bad, in fact, as to constitute an eyesore; in others, it would be next to impossible to collect half-a-dozen examples during a lifetime, even if money were of no account. Some of these early-pi*inted books sell for himdi-eds of pounds each, and occasionally we meet with special examples which, bring thousands ; I it is only when we come to the Aldine, Elzevir, and a few other Presses, such for example as those founded by Sebastian Gryphius, at Lyons, in 1528, and Henri Estienne, of Paris, that a collection worthy the name becomes a matter of possibility. English collectors, however, prefer examples from the national press to all others, and such a demand has arisen for many of these that the prices have become almost prohibitive. It is seldom, therefore, that any but those who can well afford to undertake the formation of a library illustrative of the history of early typo- graphy, care to spend their time .and money on what, after all, are mere curiosities. 46 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. For the benefit of the reader, I give a list of the more famous English printers, from Caxton to Est. Full particulars concerning each of them and their works will be found in Ames' " Typographical Antiquities." William Caxton (1474), printer at Westminster. Lettou and Machlinia (1480), printers in London. Wynkyn de Worde (1491), printer at Westminster. Kichard Pynson (1493), printer at Westminster, and the intro- ducer of Roman type into this country. Julian Notary (1498), printer at Westminster. William Faques (1499). Richard Fawkes (1509). Peter Treveris (1514), the first printer at Southwark. Richard Copland (1515), a printer dwelling at the sign of "The Rose Garland ' ' in Fleet Street. John Rastell (1520), a printer in London. He married the sister of Sir Thomas More. John Skot (1521). Robert Redman (1523), a printer who took Pynson's house, "The George," just outside Temple Bar. Robert Wyer (1527), a printer who carried on business "in the felde besyde Charynge Crosse." Thomas Berthelet (1530). John Byddell (1533), a printer who carried on business at " The Sun " in Fleet Street. Richard Grafton (1537), the king's printer, who carried on business in partnership with Edward Whitchurche from 1537-41. Edward Whitchurche (1537), who was living in 1560, and is said to have married the widow of Archbishop Cranmer. John Waylande (1537), a printer who carried on business at the sign of the " Blue Garland " in Fleet Street. William Myddylton (1541) succeeded to the business of Robert Redman, which he continued to carry on at the sign of " The George." Reynold Wolfe (1542), the king's printer John Day (1546), a printer who carried on business near Holborn Conduit, and afterwards at Aldersgate. Day was the first to use Saxon characters. William Seres (1546), at one time (until 1550) in partnership with Day. William Copland (1548). Walter Lynne (1548). • Richard Jugge (1548). OLD PRINTERS AND OLD PRESSES. 47 Thomas Marshe (1549). John Cawood (1550). Richard Tottel (1553). Hugh Singleton (1553). John Kyngston (1553). Rowland Hall (1559). John AUde (1561). Robert Redbourne (1576). Thomas Est (1592) During the seventeenth century, Presses became very numerous throughout England, but most of the work •which issued from them is valued not so much on account of the prestige attaching to the printers' names as on other grounds. The value of an English-printed book issued before the year 1600 depends in a great measure on the printer : after that date, it is judged more on its merits. An exception to this rule occurs in the case of the Birmingham printer, John Basker- ville, who started business in 1756. At one time examples from his Press were much sought after, on account of their beauty, but of late years popular favour has become diverted into other channels. It is safe to say that if the reader should happen to come across any old book by a printer mentioned above, he should not allow it to leave his hands until he is thoroughly convinced that the price demanded is excessive. CHAPTER VII. The Modern Book-Hunter, and rvhat he SeeJcs. To be able to appreciate tlie rarity of a book at a glance, argues the possession of great practical know- ledge, but still not to the extent many people suppose. The truth is, books are mainly divided into classes, of various degrees of i-arity and value ; and although, as in other cases, exceptions may and do occur, the general rules are comparatively easy to follow when once they are understood. Most of the difficulties attending the subject are made up of exceptions, and it is these which take such a long time to digest. It is, I think, the same with most pursuits, and especially so with that of book-collecting. To tell the value of a book is probably more difficult still, for as much depends upon general condition as on the state of the market and the degree of estimation in which books of the kind happen to be held for the time being. Having pointed out that condition may exercise a vast influence on the price of any work, we will try to discover what that price ought to be, and also to see in what direction, and in favour of what class, popular taste is directed. The values of some thousands of books in all departments of literature will be given later on, but at present we will confine om*selves to the present state of the English book market, pointing THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 49 out tlie different classes of books in the order in whicli they are principally inquired after. 1. — First Editions of Modern English Authors. It is only by a careful comparison of the prices realised at auction that the actual state of the book market can be gauged with any degree of certainty; and on tabulating the sales which have recently taken place, one cannot help being struck with what may be styled the desperate eagerness evinced by dealers to buy up original illustrated editions of famous modern aiithors. The works of Charles Dickens are especially in favoiu' — to such an extent, indeed, that only a short time ago £22 was cheerfully paid for a copy of "Sketches by Boz," in three volumes, 1836-37.* True, this was an unusually fine specimen with several extra plates, but the amount paid shows to what an extent the mania for collecting works of this class has taken hold of those who really control the market. At the same sale a similar sum was bid for the 1837 edition of the " Pickwick Papers," while the " Snob " and its con- tinuation the " Gownsman," in all twenty-eight numbers of the " Cambridge Magazine," edited by Thackeray, brought no less than £125. On another occasion Barham's "Ingoldsby Legends," 3 volumes com- plete, with plates by Cruikshank, Leech, &c., 1840-47, realised £39 ; and Grimm's " German Popular Stories," 2 vols., 1823-26, as much as £43. Works illustrated by Blake and Bewick belong to this category, as also do the greater number of the so-called sporting books which treat of cock-fighting and other obsolete amuse- ments. At all times first editions have been considered preferable to those which follow, because the text, being • The Mackenzie Sale, March 11th, 1889. Lot 613. E 50 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. under the superintendence of the author himself, may fairly be looked upon as purer. This is the rule, though there are many exceptions to it ; as, for instance, where two or more editions are published in the author's lifetime. Collectors of modern books of this class, however, take no notice of any exceptions, but pin their whole faith to the axiom, alleging the reason as an excuse for a lavish expenditure of money, — a reason which, however appropriate in the case of scholarly treatises, has no application to the lighter kinds of literature. To account for the payment of such extravagant prices as those quoted, it is necessary to recognise the existence of minute distinctions, and then to take each variation as being unique. Dickens's works in the original parts as issued are nearly always worth more than when boimd — an example of the multiplication of shadowy and ephemeral differences, and proof positive that the bibliomaniac who turns the kaleidoscope regards his treasures as so many pieces of bric-a-brac, and not as books to be read. Let it be confessed at once that in the case of such authors as Dickens and Thackeray it is the illustrations which constitute the pecuniary value, and the equally rapid sale of works with coloured plates will then be satisfactorily accounted for. Row- landson, Aiken, Hablot Browne, Cruikshank, Buss, and Leech, have many admirers — more by far than Dickens or Thackeray, Ainsworth, Pierce Egan, Apperley, or Surtees. This opinion will doubtless fail to commend itself to those who approve of the payment of £64 for the first edition of Tennyson's Poems, in 2 volumes, 1842,* or £16 for Shelley's " St. Irvyne," in the original boards * The Thompson Sale, May 23rd, 1887. Lot 1148. THE MODERN BOOK-HUKTER. 51 as issued in 1811,* and £31 for the " Adonais ''f ; but it must be remembered that these instances are excep- tional, the authors being fashionable, the former in his capacity of reigning Poet Laureate, and the latter as the idol of the Shelley Society, which sees merit in such performances as " A proposal for putting reform to the vote " and the " Epipsychidion." Sir Walter Scott's works in the original, whether the text be pure or the reverse, are worth only a few shillings each, while Byi'on goes begging at a slightly higher figure. None of these books are illustrated, and the reason for prefen-ing one author to the other must have its foundation in something more than a desire for textual analysis. 2. — WoBKS Relatikg to America. Next to the early editions of modern English authors must be placed those relating to the American continent, provided they date fi'om the sixteenth, seventeenth, and occasionally also the eighteenth centuries. The price paid for any stray work of this kind which may be submitted for public competition is sufficiently noteworthy to deserve more than a passing remark. Fortunately, or otherwise, such books have nearly all been absorbed by the public Hbraries, whence of course they never emerge, and this doubtless is sufficient in itself to account for the desire to obtain the few that remain for the American institutions, I'egardless of cost. A " Brief Description of the Province of Carohna," published in 1666, realised £46 at the Martin Sale, and 35 folio pages of the " Charters and Laws of the City of New York," 1817, no less than £79; prices which were subsequently eclipsed by a bid of £555 for 12 small quarto tracts bound in one volume. These • Tlie Harefield Sale, April 22nd, 1887. Lot 244. t The Martin Sale, March 19th, 1888. Lot 147. e2 5t2 THLE LIBRARY MANUAL. pieces included Brereton's " Relation of the Discoverie of the North Part of Virginia," 1602; Hamor's "Time Discourse of the present Estate of Virginia," 1615; and Captain Smitli's " New Ent^land Trials and present Estate," 1622.* Rare tracts of this nature are looked upon as throwing light on the earliest histoiy of the American nation, and are prized accordingly. Out of place in a private library, they assume a unique position in the archives of a state, and their proper resting- place is undoubtedly the country to which they imme- diately refer. 3. — Works Relating to Scotland. Scotland would be a nonentity if unpatriotic, and so deep is the quality of patriotism infused into the national character, that it displays itself more than is usually the case in its literature. A representative Scottish library is the very antithesis of an English one. The latter, if of real importance, comprises books on a variety of subjects and gathered fi-om all quarters of the globe. The former is iTsually confined to genealogical treatises and books either printed in Scotland or wi-itten by Scotsmen, as though the owner cared but little for anything save his pedigree and his country. Not being so rare as the early American-printed works, these books are at present within the reach of a moderate purse; but when found, they should be retained, for in a few years the demand will so far exceed the supply that they are almost certain to occupy a position in which money will be of but little account. The first edition of Burns's Poems, Kilmarnock, 1786, is esteemed because it is a contemporary edition of the works of Scotland's greatest poet, and not on account of its being an early-printed work. The price • The Wimpole Sale, June 29th, 1888. Lots 42 and 43. ' THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 53 (£111) ijaicl foi- a by no means immaculate specimen at a famous sale* must convince the most sceptical that, althoui;h the reason of the outlay may be diiferent, it will not be long before other and at present less famous books of a similar description sell for large amounts also. 4. — Early-pkinted Books. Specimens of typography emanating from the presses of Oaxton, Wynkyn de Worde, and other early English printers, have always been treated as the aristocracy of the bookshelf, but their extreme rarity and consequent cost places them beyond the reach of all but the few. The ordinary collector is glad to be able to secure a single authentic leaf from the press of Caxton, and stories are told of numerous " finds," which on investiga- tion have turned out to be such only in the imagination of the discoverer. The passion for collecting needs no more conspicuous example than that of the old and experienced book-hunter seeking a corona for his library, which in all probability he will look for in vain. As in the case of the American books, the j)ublic libraries have monopolised nearly all the labours of the old printers, though tales, more or less true, are occasionally narrated in the press of lucky discoveries in out-of- the-way villages, which spur hope and excite cupidity. The records of recent sales show that English fifteenth- century works are rising in the market, and, since they become more difficult to meet with evei'y day, they will doubtless continue to advance in price and be sought after more eagerly still as time goes on. A question is sometimes raised whether Caxton was really the first English printer, and whether Oxford should not take the place of Westminster. * The Gibson Craig Sale, second portion, JIarch, 1888. Lot 893. 54 the library manual. 5. — Eaely Editions of Seventeenth-centuey Authors. Next in the list come the early editions of old English authoi's of the sixteenth and moi'e particularly of the seventeenth centuries. Not long ago it was the fashion to collect the works of such dramatists as Gi'eene, Marlowe, Fletcher, Ben Jonson, Ford, Massinger, and last, though foremost among them all, Shakespeare himself. The works of the great dramatist have been reprinted over and over again, with notes, and occasionally emendations of the text, but none of these versions have maintained either their reputation or pecuniary position, even Boydell's sumptuous edition in 9 folio volumes having been reduced in value to some £6 or £7, while many of the less taking though perhaps more scholarly editions are almost given away daily. On the other hand, the first four folios, published, it may be remembered, in 1623, 1632, 1664, and 1685 respectively, bring large sums, while the original quartos are so rare as hardly ever to be seen in the market. If we except the Perkins Sale in July, 1889, the Daniel Sale, which took place at Sotheby's in 1864, was the last occasion on which Shakespeare originals were disposed of in any quantity ; and 682 guineas for a splendid copy of the first folio, 330 guineas for the first quarto of the " Merry Wives," 1602, and a similar amount for the first quarto of " Love's Labour Lost," 1598, though they were thought extreme amounts at the time, are probably less than the books would bring if they were put up at public auction to-day. Among other old books in this class may be specially mentioned the first edition of Walton's "Compleat Angler," 1653, which in company with the second part by Cotton, published in 1676, brought £195 at the Gibson Craig Sale in July, 1887. THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 55 Early editions of these old Englisli authors occupy a most curious position. Some are exceedingly valuable, while others are quite the reverse ; a distinction which is by no means due to an occasional frontispiece by Faithorne, Elstracke, or Marshall. If a guess might be hazarded as to the principle of selection, it would be that the value of the original is in exact proportion to the degree of estimation in which the author is held at the present time. A good illustration of this is Burton's "Anatomy of Melancholy," which, in spite of its numerous editions, was practically an Tinknown book until Dr. Johnson rescued it from the grave of oblivion. This work has increased in value as the author's fame has become universal, and a perfect copy of the original edition of 1621 cannot be got for much less than £25. Tet another example, that of the works of Massinger. His original quartos, among which " The Emperor of the East " and the " Maid of Honour " take the highest I'ank, can frequently be procured for thii'ty shillings each, and some may consider either of them dear even at that price. Massinger's reputation has distinctly declined all through the century, and the pecuniary value of his works has fallen in exactly the same degree. Experienced amateurs who purchase with some regard to the future are as a rule extremely cautious when dealing with this particular branch of literature. There is none which is liable to so many fluctuations. An author of whom little is known may at any moment be raised from his obscurity, either by a passing reference on the part of some great living authority, or by an accidental circumstance, and as he advances in popular favour we may be sure that a better than he will recede for the time being. For this reason, probably, and also on account of the very extensive natui'e of the subject, collectors of old English 56 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. books have for many years past been accnstomed to devote their attention to a few authors, and seek to accnniiilate as complete a set of editions of each as time and opportunity will allow. 6. — Old Bibles. The system jnst mentioned, which has a probability of ultimate success in its favoiu', has been extended to other branches, notably to the collection of Bibles, whether English or foreign, where the great pi-ize to be sighed for is of course the so-called " Mazarin Bible," printed by Gutenburg and Filst at Mayence, somewhere between the years 1450-55, and a copy of which, at the Crawford Sale in 1887, sold for £2650 — a considerably less sum, however, than has been obtained for a perfect copy elsewhere. This Bible is printed in Latin, but without any date — a method of identification which is first observable in Fiist and Schoiffer's Bible of 1462, itself an extremely rare volume, which on one occasion brought more than £1000 by auction. Exceptions such as the above apart, it is not the Latin but the English Bibles which command the most money in this country. At the head of these stands Coverdale's Translation, issued on October 5th, 1535, and recognised as being the first complete Bible printed in the English language. No perfect copy is known to be in existence, but one with six of the preliminary leaves beautifully fac-similed was disposed of at the Crawford Sale for £226 ; while another specimen, or rather a fragment, brought £72 at the Hirst Sale in December, 1887. With this famous Bible is associated the 8vo edition of Tyn- dale's New Testament of 1525-26, but only two imperfect specimens are known to exist. The Great, or Cranmer's Bible, of which, during the years 1539, 1540, and 1541, there were seven distinct editions, reprinted throughout, but so closely resembling THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 57 each other that of five of them the leaves of each begin and end alike, is another famous book, and, what is some- what extraordinary, there is little difference in the com- mercial value and bibliographical interest of the seven volumes. Any one of them, complete, genuine, and in good condition, is an ornament to iiny library, public or private. Perfect copies, indeed, are much rarer than is generally supposed. Mr. Lea Wilson, a most indefatigable collector of Bibles, was so extremely fortunate as to possess a set, every book being perfect or nearly so. It was a labour of years to complete, but his efforts were crowned with success, and six of these magnificent volumes (all but the edition of 1539, a perfect copy of which was already in the library) Mr. Panizzi added, after Mr. Wilson's death, to the British Museum collection, at the moderate price of £80 each. The present value would be greatly in excess of that amount. The labours of Mathew (the nom-de-piume of John Rogers, the first martyr iinder Queen Mary), Tavener, Whittingham, Tyndale, and other pioneer translators, are scanned with the closest attention by those who make a special study of the A'erbal distinctions which exist in the texts ; while it is worthy of mention as proof, if any indeed be needed, of the interest manifested in the old editions and versions of the Holy Scriptures generally, that at the Crawford Sale forty-three different Billies sold for no less a sum than £6149. On the death of Mr. Francis Fry, the great authority on this branch of bibliography, his mantle aptly fell on the shoulders of Mr. J. R. Dore, of Huddersfield, who recently issued a second edition of his " Old Bibles " — a work second to none in painstaking and scholarly research. 7. — Works on Natural History. Natural history is essentially a sectional study, and private libraries in which books on the subject form the 58 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. main feature, Avill be found to be composed almost entirely of works relating to some distinct branch, outside which the founder has not cared to travel. Many of the plates belonging to these volumes are coloured, and when this is the case competition is always strongly excited, and high prices are the rule, not the exception. Copies with plain plates, on the contrary, seem to be decreasing in value, for reasons that will readily be understood by those who are compelled to consult them for purposes of reference or comparison. In this class Gould's ornithological works undoubtedly take the lead, though even these ai'e frequently reduced from their original published price. Thus, the " Birds of Great Britain," complete in 25 parts, with 367 coloured plates, imperial folio, was published at £78 15s., while the average auction value is but a little over £50. The market is, however, firm at that figure, and, all things considered, it is probable that these splendid monuments of industry and technical skill will ere long take a higher pecuniary position. Similarly, Gray's " Genera of Birds," 3 vols., 1844-49, a very scarce and beautiful work, may be con- sidered cheap at £25, while the original edition of Audubon's " Birds of America," in 4 volumes, elephant folio, 1826-38, is perhaps the most expensive work of the class extant, as much as £315 having been paid quite recently for a perfect copy. These prices are paid readily enough by lovers of natural history, who believe that if they purchase judiciously and at current rates they will have no occasion to regret the outlay. Every department of zoology has its representative works, the market values of which are universally known, and fixed within narrow boundaries. Bargains are almost impossible, since the very appearance of these books precludes any material advantage being taken either on the part of the vendor or the purchaser ; and, as is well known, the enthusiastic book-hunter frequently boasts of THE MODERN BOOK-HUNTER. 59 his bargains as much as, or more than, he does of the contents of his slielves. 8. — Antiquarian Works. Antiquarian, genealogical, and heraldic works appear to be quite stationary in the market at prices which have not varied to any extent during the past five or six years. The demand for them is limited, except in Scotland, where, as previously stated, genealogical treatises, provided they relate to local families, are among the most favoui-ed productions of the press. 9. — Art Books. We are now brought face to face with the numei'ous family of " art books," by which is meant volumes published within the last decade, and which derive their interest primarily from the plates with which they are embellished. These consist chiefly of reprints, and as an investment are not to be recommended. It is true that the woi-ks of Ruskin and Hamerton, whether in the original or not, are eagerly purchased, but they hardly coincide with the definition, for the letterpress is autho- ritative and the chief inducement held out to the pur- chaser. The ordinary commonj)lace art book has fallen upon evil days, and the device of strictly limiting the issue to a certain number of copies at a high price after obtaining promises of subscriptions, though it may stimulate the sale, cannot preserve the original value ; for in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred, a book pub- lished under these conditions is placed in a declining market from the first day of its appearance. 10. — Classical Books. But if art books are at a discount, what can be said of the classics ? Most people can remember the second- 60 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. hand classical booksellers of a few years ago, who Avill now be sought for in vain. Old classics of the first water, those rare specimens of ancient typography of which we have spoken, still have a ready sale, bnt all else are daily disposed of at lamentable prices, which often do not reach even the cost of binding. The present generation of book- lovers has set an example of self-denial in this respect which woiild undoubtedly have seemed strange to the generation of twenty or even fifteen years ago. Perhajis Homer and Plato may yet again contend with Yirgil and Ovid for so little as a smile from some appreciative patron yet unborn, but at present they lie neglected by all save the student, and are disposed of in " parcels " in company with theological treatises and volumes of sermons, which being, as a rule, unsaleable except as waste-paper, are thus unceremoniously bundled out of sight. On a review of the present state of the English book market, it is satisfactory to find that literary merit is after all in no danger of being ignored. In every instance in which a book is pronoimced valuable, it will also be found that it contains something worth reading. There are exceptions even to this proposition, and other con- siderations have to be taken into account, but the rule as it stands may safely be made the basis of every cal- culation. Mere rarity is not enough ipso facto to create value ; scarcity can never compensate for a lack of material, nor the possession of a " tall " co^iy, with uncut edges or in the original parts, supply the place of in- telligence in the text. Every book which aspires to the distinction of emptying a pocket, must be able truthfully to exclaim with Horace : Cumque ego proeponam multos mihi ; iion minor illis Dicor: et in toto phirimus orbe legor. I am much read throu2;hout the world. SECTION II. TAB VALUE OF BOORS. CHAPTER VIII. Works on Natural History. The term "Natural History," in its most extended sense, may he defined as the description of whatever is created ; but it is not xinfreqiiently limited to an account of organic life and its immediate connections, thus becoming synonymous with " Biology," the main divisions of which are Zoology and Botany. Books which relate to Natural History subjects have to be very carefully examined before their value can be even approximately ascertained. Unless furnished with plates they are practically useless, and unless these plates are acciarately and scientifically coloured they are sure to be misleading. The value of any book of this class largely depends, therefore, upon the colouring of the plates. If well coloured the value is rising at the present time, but if altogether uncoloured it is in many cases difficult to dispose of the works at all, and it may be said that such undesirable specimens are losing what little hold they ever had on the market. There are, of course, exceptions even to this rule, but they are far from numerous, and seldom of much importance. Following the restncted definition of the term " Natur9,l Histoi-y " given above, the works catalogued under this heading comprise a selection of those relating to the Mammalia and General Zoology, Ornithology, Ichthyology, Entomology, Anthroxsology, the Reptilia, Conchology, the 62 THE LIBRARY MANUAL.

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

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

To give a list of works upon Law would answer no practical purpose, since few people, save those whose business it is to study the subject, would think of spending their money in the collection of works relating to it. Still, if only for the piu'pose of making the list as complete as possible, it may be worth wliile to enumerate some of the standard treatises. It is often said that every man should know something of the law, which he assists in making, and by which he is governed and to which he has to conform ; and by way of gaining this knowledge many people purchase and sometimes read works of general application embracing every phase of the law, and professing to treat it "popularly." A favourite work is " Every Man's own Lawyer," pub- lished at the suggestive price of 6s. 8d., and in the hands of a skilled lawyer the book is not without its merits. To anyone else, however, it might be a source of mischief, for it is impossible to compress into an 8vo volume of whatever thickness even a tithe of the sub- jects upon which, it is necessary to treat. The consequence is that the information afforded is so meagre that a case exactly, or even nearly, in point is seldom to be met with. The reader will probably find something which he considers to be analogous; but as he knows LAW. 119 nothing of the reasons which prompt any particular assertion, it is not sui-prising that the analogy should frequently fail when brought to a practical test. Slater's " Guide to the Legal Profession " (London : L. Upcott Gill, price Ts. 6d.) forms a practical treatise on the various methods of entering either of its branches, and gives a course of study for each of the examinations. It is a complete guide to every department of Legal preparation, and is without doubt the best and most compi-ehensive work on the subject. Anyone who seeks to study Law, or any particular branch of it, must commence at the beginning, and the only available method of doing this is to obtain a firm grasp of the reasons which prompt every assertion made. A man of average intelligence will soon draw fair de- ductions from the collected premises, and, if he is possessed of property, will at any i-ate avoid many difficulties that he might otherwise have become in- volved in. The works given below are standard works usually read by beginners, and it must be observed that the latest editions only should be purchased, and for these, of course, the published prices (less discount) will have to be paid. These prices are affixed. • Law. Tlie Law of Real Property, that is, the law relating to land, and the different kinds of tenures : Williams on the " Law of Real Property " ; £1 Is.

Tlie Law Relating' to Landlord and Tenant : 1. Eedman and Lyon on the " Law of Landlord and Tenant " ; 10s. 6d. 2. Woodfall's " Landlord and Tenant " ; £1 18s. There are, of course, many other branches of law and numberless works on practice continually being pub. lished and re-issued; but, so far as the former are concerned, it will be found for the most part that they are sufficiently treated of in the books already mentioned, while works relating to practice are of no interest, except in the hands of persons engaged in following the regular routine of the Courts. As a rule, old law books are of no value ; but this does not apply to the " Reports," collections of which form part of every law library. Some of these are both scarce and valuable, though pui'chasers are few and far between. In conclusion, the best advice that can be given to dabblers in law is to study it as every other difficult science is studied, by a logical drawing of conclusions from premises, and this can only be done after a careful perusal of standard works on the subject. To know how to avoid an error is better than to remedy one, however scientifically the latter process may be accom- plished, and the man who has this knowledge is the better lawyer. General Science.

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

Baillie (Capt.), The Engraved Works of, after Paintings and Drawings by the Greatest Masters, 2 vols, in 1, atlas folio, 1771. This work was published at ^630 lis. As in the case of all other art books, the value depends on the character and quality of the plates. A good copy, some of the 107 plates on india- paper, sold by auction in April, 1889, for £2 15s.

Anatomy of the Brain Explained in a Series of Engravings, London, 4to, 1802 ; 8s. Second Edition, London, 1811; Ss. Blake (William). Original works by this visionary artist are exceedingly rare, and becoming more so each year. It is impossible to give the value of any copy without seeing it, as prices vary according to the degree of perfection attained in the printing off or colouring. If this is high class, the price sj)eedily approaches .£50, and very often greatly exceeds it. A number of facsimile reprints were issued by Muir between the years 1884-86. These, for the most part, are worth ,£5 each, and, like the originals, are becoming more valuable every day. Only 50 copies were issued of each. Poetical Sketches, by W.

To detect reprints, of which there are several extant, observe that plate 132 in the original is numbered 182.

Three Essays on Picturesque Travel, London, 1792, 8vo. Third Edition, 1808, 8vo. The whole of Gilpin's works, including' the first editions, appear to be declining in value. It is no uncommon thing to see parcels of ten or a dozen volumes, well bound, all original editions, knocked down in the auction-room at 3s. or 4s. per volume all round. At the same time, a complete uniform set would doubtless bring proportionately more. Gillray (James), Caricatures, printed from the original plates, 600 engravings, atlas folio, 1849-51 ; £5 (hi. mor.).

During the last twenty-five or thirty years, the classics have come to be regarded with comparative indifference. I speak, of course, from a pecuniary point of view. While high-class examples from famous presses form an exception to the general rule, as having an interest quite apart from the contents, there is no doubt that ordinary editions, perfect and well bound though they may be, have fallen 50 per cent., and more, below their average value of a few years ago. It has now become a very difficult matter to put a price on books of this class at all, as the vast majority are regarded with such indifference that the dealers are only too glad to clear them out, and to close with any reasonable offer. Under these circumstances, it has been found impossible to value many of the books referred to in this chapter. Such, however, as have made their appearance in the auction room within the last three years, and have been considered sufficiently important to be sold separately, are duly chronicled, and the true prices stated. 2:schylus.

This chapter is divided into four sections : (1) Englisli versions of the Holy Bible; (2) English versions of the New Testament; (3) Common Prayer Books; and (4) Con- cordances. Of late years collectors have manifested an extraordinary interest in books of this class, and, as a consequence, many of the earlier editions have become scarce and are rapidly rising in value. This particular branch of bibliography is, however, by no means easy to master, and there are but few persons who can be said to have acquired anything more than a superficial knowledge of its intricacies. The large number of editions ; minute variations in text, which at first sight may seem immatei'ial, but are in reality of the gi'eatest importance; and disputed points, many of which have from time to time given rise to much technical discussion — all contribute to render a thorough grasp of the sub- ject a matter of difficulty, and only to I)e attempted by the limited few who are content to devote themselves to one object and who at the same time are possessed of ample means. For the amateur, no better guide can be recommended than Mr. J. R. Dore's " Old Bibles ; an Account of the Early Yersions of the English Bible," a second edition of which was recently published by Eyre and Spottiswoode at 5s. With this book at his fingers* 188 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. ends, he cannot very well go wrong, so long as he keeps to the beaten track, as the author has dealt with his subject in the most exhaustive manner. Collectors of Bibles do not, as a rule, take any notice of editions later than what is known as the " Vinegar Bible," printed at Oxford in 1717. Exceptions sometimes occur in favour of Bentham's Bible, Cambridge, folio, 1762, almost the entire edition of which was destroyed by fire ; Maclin's Bible, 1800-16, 7 vols., folio, which con- tains engravings from pictures and designs by the most eminent English artists ; and editions with plates by Dore, the Alsatian artist. Nearly all the bulky volumes, by such editors as Cruden, Brown, Crutwell, Geddes, Clarke, D'Oyly and Mantz, Kitto, and the rest, which generally pass by the name of " Family Bibles," and are later in date than 1717, are of very small value, and, from a bibliographical point of view, in but ill repute. Throughout this chapter I have given the prices realised at auction for such works as have come under the hammer during the past three years, and where two or more values are appended, it is to be understood that as usual such prices have been realised on different occasions within the period mentioned. As is well known, different editions of the English versions of the Bible frequently have titles applied to them on account of some deficiency in the text, or for other sufficient reason. Many, if not all, of these titles are more or less puerile ; but as they are in common use, and questions are continually being asked regarding them, it may perhaps be as well to enumerate the different terms employed by book-men in their eager- ness to draw distinctions and to clothe them with pro- fessional names. As previously intimated, a certain class of collectors confine their attention solely to Bibles, and can count all the English editions in order of date, pointing out the chief variations between one edition TITLES FOK BIBLES. 189 and another, and investing almost every volume with a halo of romance as they narrate how the translator or the printer was bxii-ned at the stake, outlawed, stuck in the pillory, or in rare instances of good luck fined, for doing his work too badly or too well. To such as these, technicalities are of course familiar, but to the genei'al reader, who may have heard of a " Vinegar " or a " Treacle " Bible, but has not the slightest notion why it is so called, the following list — complete it is believed — of terms may be useful for purposes of reference. The Bank Note Bible, described by one writer, who during the cour.se of a cohimn of newspaper print has managed to make some scores of bibliographical blunders, is new to me, at least under this name. He says the Bible is dated 1796, and that it was printed by some eccentric printer " entirely on bank-note paper, hence the name." The Blank Stone Bible is the name given to the first of the three 4to editions of Tyndale's "New Testament," each of which is dated 1536, and so much like the others that it is very difficult to distinguish between them. The readiest means of identification is by reference to the woodcut of St. Paul, which in the first version has the stone upon which he rests his foot blank ; in the second version a mole is engraved oa the stone ; and in the third, the engraver's cypher, composed of the initials A. B. K. These two latter Testa- ments are accordingly styled the Mole and the Engraver's Mark versions. The Breeches Bible.— The first edition of the Genevan version is dated 10th April, 1560, and between that date and 1644 a large number of editions, printed both in England and abroad, were in circulation in this country. No less than 150,000 copies were imported from Holland after this version had ceased to be printed here, and as it was for three-quarters of a century the household guide, it is now the most common of all earlj'-printed Bibles. The Breeches Bible derives its curious name from the wording of the third chapter of Genesis, seventh verse, where Adam and Eve are described as making themselves " breeches." The Bug or Bugge Bible. — This title is given to Matthew's Bible of 1537, to its reprints by Daye and Seres, and Eaynalde and Hyll in 1549, and also to Coverdale's version of 1535, on account of the rendering of the 91st Psalm, verse 5 : " Thou shalt not nede to be afrayd for any Bugges by night." The 190 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. word " bupf^o " meaning: sprite or ghost. The Hug Bibles were suppressed on account of the prolojjue to Leviticus, which consists mainly of an attack on the sacraments of the church and on the clergy. Those Bibles are conseciuently now very scarce. The Dotted Bible. — A term applied to the Bishops' Bible of 1578, folio, the leaves being printed page by page with those of the issue of 1574. The Great He Bible. — The folio authorised version of 1611 is called the "The Great He Bible " owing to a typographical error (F) to be found in the 15th verse of the 3rd chapter of Ruth, where the Moabitess is described as he, " and he went into the Citie." This is the correct rendering of the Hebrew text, but the second issue of the same date (1611) reads "and she went into the Citie." Hence this second is^ue is called the " Great She Bible." The Leap-fro^ Bible. — In the year 1549, Sternhold and Hopkins issued their first metrical paraphrase of the Psalms, and subsequently their version was adopted by the Church of England and used until Tate and Brady's supplanted it. These Psalms are very often found bound up with old Bibles, and when this is the case the entire volume is invested with the title of "Leap-frog," an obvious and punning allusion to the surnames of the adapters of the Psalms. The Iieda Bible is a name sometimes given to the third edition of the Bishops' Bible, issued in large folio, 1572. Some of the initial letters used in the New Testament are composed of wood- cuts which were originally executed for an edition of Ovid's " Metamorphoses." The one at the commencement of the Epistle to the Hebrews represents Jupiter appearing to Leda in the form of a swan. Mr. Dore says that these incongruous figures were severely commented on at the time, and were never afterwards used. The Bosin Bible.— The Douai version of the Bible, 1609-10, 4to, and reprinted in 1635, bears this title on account of the rendering of the 8th chapter of Jeremiah, verse 22 : " Is there noe rosin in Galaad." It will be noticed that the Treacle Bibles are so-called from the peculiar translation of this same passage. The Treacle Bible. — The Bishops' versions of 1573 and 1575 thus translate the 8th chapter of Jeremiah, verse 22 : " Is there no triacle in Galaad," and the versions of 1576, 1577, and 1584 have the word spelled "tryacle." All these are consequently known as Treacle Bibles, and though hunted after by collectors, are seldom found complete. The same, indeed, may be said of most of the old versions. ENGLISH VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE. 191 The Vinegfar Bible is dated 1717, and is found in two large folio volumes. The liead-line of St. Luke, chapter xx, has the word "vinegar" in mistake for "vineyard," hence the justification of the title. This Bible is noted as being the latest, in point of date, which is usually found on the shelves of collectors. It being necessary to have a boundary, they usually draw it so as to include the Vinegar Bible and to exclude all others of more modern date. The "Whig Bible is a name commonly given to the second edition of the Genevan version, published in 1562-1, without any jirinter's name. It is so called from the reading of Matthew v., verse 9: "Blessed are the place makers." This Bible is very rare, and seldom found in a perfect condition. The Wicked Bible, printed by " Eobert Barker and assigns of John Bill," and dated 1G31, was so named by the late Henry Stevens, who discovered what was at the time thought to be the only copy in existence. The " Wicked " Bible is so called from the circumstance of its being filled with gross and scandalous typographical errors, not the least remark- able of which is the omission of the important word " not " in the seventh Commandment. Tor this the King's printers were cited by the usual Writ of Rebellion to the Star Chamber, fined ^£300, and ordered to destroy the entire edition of 1,000 copies. This latter command does not seem to have been properly fulfilled, for no less than six copies are now known to exist. The Wife's Bible, the name sometimes given to Tyndale's New Testament of 1549. A line in the 10th chapter of the Second of Corinthians, 11th verse, is printed : " Let hym that is soche thinke on his wyfe," instead of " on this wise." (1) English Versions of the Holy Bible. Tyndale. The Pentateuch, or Five Books of Moses. "Emprinted at Marlborow, in the lande of Hesse, by me, Hans Luft, in the yere of oure Lorde, 1530, the xvii dayes of Januarii."

The plays of this dramatist were originally issued in quarto during the earlier part of the seventeenth century. These early editions are scarce, though not to the same extent as those of some of the other dramatists of the time. Roughly speaking, any of the original editions of Massinger's plays, if in fair condition, would bring from £1 to <£2 by auction ; but if entirely uncut and perfect two or three times those amounts. It is very seldom that these works appear in the market, and their pecuniary value seems to be increasing. ■ Whole Works. The best editions of Massinger's plays are as under: 1805, 4 vols., Svo, Gifford's 1st ed. ; £1 5s. (cf.). 1813, 4 vols., Svo, Gifford's 2nd ed. ; .£1 2s. (cf.), .£1 I63. (russ.).

The first edition of this im- mortal work was published in 1(367, but the date appears to have been subsequently altered, first to 1668, and then to 1669, as time went on and the edition remained unsold. The body of the work is the same in each instance, but the title and preliminary leaves were altered to suit the exi- gencies of the case. The first edition of "Paradise Lost" assumes nine forms at the least, possibly more, each to be distinguished by the appearance of the title-page as follows : The first variation has a title-page with the author's name in italic capitals, and the poem immediately follows the title-page ; ^'27 (very fine and unusual copy), ^£35 {ibid.).

GENERAL WORKS. 287 Shakespeare (William'). Nearly all Shakespeare's works were published in a separate form during his lifetime, and almost always in small quarto. All, without exception, have become so excessively rare as to be practically unprocurable, and for their size these early quartos are undoubtedly the most expensive books in the world. The last occasion on which any number appeared at one time in the auction-room was at the Perkins sale, in July, 1889, when a slightly imperfect copy of "Komeo and Juliet," 1st ed., 1599, 4to, realised <£164, and " The Second Part of Henrie the Fourth," 1st ed., 1600, 4to, d£225. Such prices as these are by no means excessive ; on the contrary, really first-rate copies of some of the plays would sell for at least as much again. In the absence of originals, the amateur can turn to the collection of lithographic facsimiles of the early quarto editions of the separate works of Shakespeare, including every known edition of all the plays which were issued during the lifetime of the dramatist. The work was carried out by E. W. Ashbie, under the superintendence of J. O. Halliwell-Phillipps. Only fifty sets were printed, of which nineteen were destroyed by the editor, and three sets afterwards destroyed by fire. The collection is complete in 48 vols., which were printed for private circulation during the years 1866-71. Unfortu- nately the books are scarce, =£50 and more being asked for a complete set. Another and cheaper series was issued under the superintendence of Dr. F. J. Furnivall by W. Griggs and C. Pretorius, in 1881-88. This set is complete in 41 vols., 4to, and when bound, say in half morocco, sells by auction for about <£12 10s. Similarly the first folio of Shakespeare's complete works, printed by Isaac Jaggard and Ed. Blount in 1623, brings high and ever-increasing sums, as much as .£300 or .£400 being the value of an average copy. Some specimens showing large measurements are, however, worth considerably more. The following are recent auction prices obtained for copies of the first four folios of Shakespeare's works : 1623, First Folio; d£415 (mor. title, and Ben Jonson's verses mounted), .£200 (mor. ex., title mounted, verses from second folio, 12in. by 8in.). This edition was facsimiled in 1807, folio, £2 4s. (cf.); also by Lionel Booth in 1864, folio, .£1 10s. (large paper, hf. cf.) ; by Day and Son, in photo-lithography, 1866, folio, £i 7s. 6d. (cf. ex.) ; and by Longmans, folio, .£4 12s. (russ. ex.). 1632, Second Folio; .£47 (large copy, but wormed), .£21 10s. (verses and some leaves, backed). 1664, Third Folio; .£52 (mor. ex., one leaf defective), .£100 (perfect). Many copies were destroyed in the Great Fire. The seven spurious plays are omitted for the first time. 288 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. Sliakespeare (William). 1G85, Fourth Folio; .£25 10s. (russ. ex., several leaves defective), .£14 (two leaves repaired). Among the large number of editions of Shakespeare's works which have been and are continually being- pub- lished, the following are noticeable. It must be under- stood that where no prices are affixed, no copy of the par- ticular edition has sold by auction during the last four years for as large a sum as =£1. As a rule the eighteenth- century copies of Shakespeare's works are not of much value unle-s very well bound in calf or morocco. Editions in 12mo or 18mo very seldom sell by auction for more than 6d. or 8d. per volume all round, unless bound as aforesaid. 1709, 7 vols., 8vo, plates, Eowe ; ,£6 12s. (mor. ex.), ^£1 123.

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

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

Early copies of any of the works of this poet are valuable, especially when uncut. The prices quoted above will give a very fair idea of the amounts usually realised at auction for copies slightly cut down, but otherwise in sound condition. Tennyson (Alfred, Lord). As in the case of Swinburne's poems, the works of this author are very unstable in the market. They are, however, undoubtedly rising in price, and should shortly become of much greater value than they GENERAL WORKS. 305 are at present. It is worthy of note that the following' first editions, thong'li well hound by Riviere, broiigbt less than £1 each iu March 1889 : Maud ancl other Pueinx, 1855; Idylls of the King, 1859; Enoch Arden, 1864; T/ie Holii Grail, 1870; Garefh and Lynette, 1872; and Harold, 1877. On another and more recent occasion (August, 1890) seven poems, bound up in 2 vols, (cl.), brought ^1 lOs. These pieces comprised those previously mentioned, and in addition In Memoriam, and were all second or subsequent editions. From this and other evidence it appears that the above prices are usually given for works of the description mentioned, thoiigh occasionally they will bring considerably more. Some pieces again are exceedingly rare, so that each example has to be judged on its merits. The following analysis of recent sales by auction represents the state of the market as it is at present (September, 1891). Tennyson (Alfred, Lord), Enoch Ardi^n, 1866, 8v.o, illustrated by Arthur Hughes; £1 10s. (as issued). This edition is more valuable than the original issue of 1864, doubtless on account of the plates. Idylls of the King, 1868, folio, engravings after Dore ; ,£1 16s. (as issued), £'1 12a. (hf. mor., large paper). More valuable than the original issue of 1859. In Memoriam, 1st ed., 1850, 8vo ; ,£5 10s. (mor. ex., uncut), ,£4 (original cl., uncut). Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wellington, 1st ed., 1852, 8vo ; <£2 5s. (mor. ex., uncut). The Window ; or, the Loves of the TTre;;*, Canford Manor, 1867, 4to, privately printed ; ^£36 (mor. ex., uncut), ,£25 (as issued). There is a reprint of this work, worth from 17s. 6d. to ,£1. The Princess: A Medley, 1st ed., 1847, 8vo ; .£2 2s. (mor. ex., uncut), .£1 148. (cf. ex., by Riviere). Timbuctoo : A Poem which obtained the Chancellor's Medal at the Canibridge Comme)icement HIDCCCXXIX., 1829, 8vo ; £o 5s. (mor. ex.), ^64 (original blue wrapper). T/ie Victim, view of Canford Manor, 1867, 4to, privately printed; ^£32 (hf. mor., uncut). The foregoing are the only examples of Tennyson's single works which have realised more than £1 each in the open market during the last four years. For some of the edi- tions of his collected works, however, the demand is much greater ; e.g. : 1827, 8vo, Poems by Two Brothers (Alfred and Charles Tennyson); <£11 10s. (original cl.), £IS 10s.

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

Collections. The works of tlie ancient English historians, though often exceedingly scarce in the original, have nearly all been reprinted in " Collections." The earliest edition of these fasciculi was published in London in 1574, in folio, under the patronage of Archbishop Parker. It is a handsome book, not of common occurrence, and contains the " Historia Brevis " and " Tpodigma Neusti'ise " of Thomas de Walsingham, together with Asser's " Life of Alfred the Great." The next collection was edited and printed by Com- melin, at Heidelberg, in folio, 1587. Another title-page is sometimes found, dated from Lyons. In each case the work is entitled " Rerum Britannicarum, Scriptores Vetustiores ac precipui," and contains the works of Geoffrey of Monmouth and the abridgment by Ponticus Yirunuius, Gildas, Bede, William of Newbury, and Froissart ; 8s. (hf. cf.). In a few years followed Sir Henry Savile's collection, first published in London, 1596, and af terwai-ds at Frank- fort in 1601, folio. The title runs " Rerum Anglicarum Scriptores post Bedani precipui," and the work contains the historical writings of William of Malmesbury, Henry of Huntingdon, Roger Hoveden, ^thelwerde, and Al^bot CHRONICLES. 375 Ingulph of Croyland. Tliis collection is an important one, and was edited with great care. In 1603, the famous Camden, the author of the "Britannia," published his "Anglica, Normannica, Hibernica, Cambrica, a veteribus Scripta," containing Asser's " Life of Alfred," the anonymous treatise on the Life of "William the Conqueror, the two works of Thomas de "VValsingham, previously mentioned, Thomas de la Moor's " Edward II.," and three treatises by Giraldus. The reputation of this work corresponds with the well- known talents of the editor. This work of Camden's was followed by a collection edited by Sir Roger Twysden, in 2 vols., folio, 1652, with a preface by Selden. The fasciculus contains, inter alia, the Chronicles of Henry Knyghton, "William Thorn, Thomas Stubbs the Dominican, Ailred, Abbot of Rievaulx, and John Brompton. This edition is exceedingly accurate, though the authors which it contains are in themselves of no great repute ; £1 10s. (cf. gt., by Clarke). In 1684 G. Fulman published, in folio, as a continuation of the former work, the •' Rerum Anghcarum, Scriptorum Yeterum," containing the " Historia " of Ingulph and its two continuations, the " Chronica de Mailros " and the "Annales Burtonenses." The editor of this work died soon after its publication, and the remaining two volvimes of the series (numbered 1 and 2 respectively) were edited by Dr. Gale, of Oxford, 1687-1691, folio. The authors reprinted number no less than twenty, and though the work abounds in inaccuracies, it was at one time valuable, as being the most comprehensive that had hitherto been published; £3 10s. (the three volumes, mor. ex., by Bedford, fine copy). In 1692 Henry "Wharton published his multifarious work, in 2 vols., folio, entitled " Anglia Sacra, sive CoUectio Historiarum de Archiepiscopis et Episcopis Angliffi"; £1 4s. (cf.), £1 2s. (cf.). 376 THE LIBRARY MANUAL. In 1724 J. Sparbe, of London, published the " Histoi'ia) Anglicanse, Scriptores varii," and in 1757 Charles Bertram issued the smallest collection extant, at Copenhagen. Baron Maseres published in 1783 and 1807 a small collection, in 4to, of works relative to English affairs near the time of the Conquest, with notes in English. The History of the Normans is, however, more amply illustrated by a collection of their early historians, pub- lished at Paris, in folio, by M. Du Chesne, 16l!;>, under the title of " Historise Normannorum Scriptores Autiqui"; £2 (mor. ex., g. e.). To come to more recent times, we find a collection of the " Chronicles of England," edited by Johnes, in 28 vols., royal 4to, 1803-15. This comprises the works of Froissart and Monstrelet, Holinshed, Grafton, Robert of Gloucester, Peter Langtoft, Fuller, Joinville, Halle, Hardyng, Fabyan, William of Malmesbury, Arnold, and Rastell. Next comes the " Chronicles of England, Scotland, Ireland, &c.," edited by Douce, Sir H. Ellis, and others, 23 vols., 4to, 1807-12. This valuable series includes the works of Arnold, Fabyan, Froissart, Grafton, Halle, Hardyng, Holinshed, Monstrelet, Rastell, and Joinville; £21 (russ. ex., by Bedford, 23 vols, in 12), £14 (russ. gt., uniform). In 1838-56 a collection of the Chronicles was printed under the auspices of the English Historical Society. A complete set consists of 29 vols, (usually found in 24), 8vo; £6 15s. (cl., unciit, large paper, complete set). A very good collection, so far as it goes, for only one volume was published, is Petrie and Sharpe's "Monumenta Historica Britannica," 1848, folio; £1 5s. (as issued). The notes to this work are exceedingly valuable. The most complete and satisfactory series of all is, however, one which was commenced in 1857 under the CHRONICLES. 377 direction of the Master of the Kolls, entitled " Rernm Britanniearum Medii ^vi Scriptores — Chronicles and Memorials of Great Britain, etc."; £7 10s. (hf. rox., uncut, 57 vols., 8vo, 1858-65), £38 (hf- I'ox., uncut, 182 vols.), £43 (hf. rox., xincut, 211 vols.). The above list comprises all or nearly all the important collections of the English ancient historians which have hitherto been published ; some of the more noted authors have however been edited separately, and these are referred to below, in alphabetical order. Many of these separate pieces are both rare and valuable, as the quoted prices will show, but as to the collections a different rule altogether prevails. Generally speaking, the more recent the collection the greater its value, while as regards the single works, the older the book the greater its value. The reason of this distinction is that none of the collections are old enough to rank primarily as specimens of ancient typography, the contrary being the fact so far as the single pieces are concerned. Where a book of this class is so old as to amount to a curiosity, which presupposes a date anterior to about 1550, the value is increasing; in nearly every other instance the value is less now than it was at the commencement of the j)resent century. To realise a satisfactory price. Chronicles, which include all historical works, must be either very old or comparatively new ; though of course there are exceptions to this as to every other rule.

A BOOK " privately printed " is one that is circulated gratuitously by the author, or at any rate not " pub- lished" for sale. Most of these books are printed by professional typographers, but some, though compara- tively speaking only a few, have issued from private presses, established by amateurs, who have personally superintended the production of their works. Private presses have of late yeai'S always been in the hands of dilettanti with unlimited means and plenty of time at their disposal, and, from their nature, are necessarily limited in number. Auchinleck Press was founded at Auchinleck House in Dumfriesshire, the seat of Sir Alexander Boswell, the son of James Boswell, the biographer of Dr. Johnson. The first work printed by Sir Alexander was entitled the " Tyrant's Fall," 1815, 8vo, and consists of a pamphlet of five pages. The " Frondes Caducaj '' was reprinted in 1816, 1817, and 1818, all in 4to. This press had only a short life of three years, 1815-18. Beldornie Press, established at Beldornie Tower in the Isle of Wight, by Edward Utterson, in 1840. Sixteen works issued from the press, which ceased to exist in 1843. Darlington Press, established by George Allan about the year 1775. The productions of this press are of an exceedingly miscellaneous character, consisting of ballads, election squibs, inscriptions on monuments, legal documents, notices to people trespassing on Mr. Allan's grounds, and even PRIVATE PRESSES. 399 a single sheet, in 4to, on the dimensions and weight of a fat ox bred near Darlington. A tract, entitled " Of the Pata- gonians," is, however, scarce; 1788, Darlington, 4to. The principal productions are topographical, and some of these are both useful, interesting, and valuable. Hafod Press, established in 1803 by Mr. Johnes, at Hafod in Cardiganshire, from whence issued the Chronicles of Froissart, Monstrelet, and Joinville. Kelmscott Press, founded by Mr. William Morris in 1891, at Hammersmith Mall. Up to date (September, 1891) a single work has issued from this press, viz., " The Story of the Glittering Plain," published at £2 28. The present value is about double, though no copies have so far been sold by auction in London. IiCe Priory Press. This famous printing establishment was instituted by Johnson and Warwick, at Ickham, near Canter- bury, in the year 1813. From this date to 1822 the pro- prietors printed 52 works and some 110 single leaves ; but in no instance were more than 100 copies of each struck off, and in most cases a very much less number. Sir Egerton Brydges edited nearly all the works that issued from the press. Sliddle Hill Press, established at the seat of Sir Thomas Phillipps in Worcestershire in the year 1819, turned out an immense quantity of pamphlets and single leaves. The principal subjects treated of are genealogical, heraldic, and antiquarian literature. Strawberry Hill Press, perhaps the most famous of any, was founded by Horace Walpole at his house at Twick- enham. The first work printed is entitled " Two Odes to Mr. Gray," 4to, 1757, and the last, "Bishop Bonner's Ghost," 4to, 1789. There are many detached pieces in folio, 4to, 8vo^ and infra.
