PREFACE
TO THE THIRD EDITION.
Every amount quoted in the following pages lias been
actually realised at public auction within the last few
years for the book against which it is set, and where
two or more prices are appended it must be understood
that the book has realised those amounts at auction
at different times within the period in question. The
valuation of the topographical works mentioned in
Chapter XVI. {-post p. 317, et seq.) has, however, been
based, by permission, partly on the catalogues of Mr.
Henry Gray, topographical and antiquarian booksellei",
of 47, Leicester Square.
The principles upon which books derive their value
and the probability of any particular work rising or
falling in the market have been carefully considered
elsewhere,* and as these phases of an important subject
are considered to be beset with many difficulties, the
reader is referred to the book in question for any
information he may require.
It is a fact well known to most people that con-
dition and binding frequently regulate the market value
of a book almost as much as any other consideration,

and, in extreme cases, shillings become converted into
pounds merely by reason of extra quality in these
respects. As a rule, however, tlie price realised on one
occasion for any given work does not vary to any great
extent from that obtained on another for the same
book, and by the simple process of striking an average,
a fair auction value is usually obtained. The plan
adopted, therefore, has been to seai-ch for this average
or normal value by comparing the prices realised at a
large number of first-class sales by auction. In most
instances I have given particulars of binding and
condition, so that the reader will be able to form
a tolerably correct estimate of the value of some
thoiisands of works in every department of English
Literature. To take the average auction value is, I
am persuaded, the only way in which it is possible to
arrive at a satisfactory conclusion, since the alternative
of comparing booksellers' price-lists is open to the
grave objection that the sums asked by the dealers
differ enormously, and frequently depend on a variety
of extraneous circumstances which it is impossible to
ascertain or classify.
In a popular manual, which is necessarily limited in
its scope, the great difficulty has been not so much
to value the catalogued works as to decide what to
reject. As a survey of English Literature this book
is of course imperfect, and were it extended to a
nundred times its present dimensions it would be im-
perfect still. All I have been able to do is to make
a selection of representative works, and to classify
them under the subjects to which they properly
belong. The Library Mantjal will be found useful
in the hands of those who are fond of books and
take an interest in collecting them, for the priced
lists which form the second portion of the volume fore-
shadow, I think faithfully, that ideal collection which

would be made, in fact, by tbe Book-man wbo had
sufficient time and money at bis disposal to enable him
to carry out his intention of forming a high-class, all-
round English Library.
The whole of this work has been re-written and so
considerably enlarged that about 10,000 different books
and editions are now catalogued. Modern works in
print have not, as a rule, been referred to.
Whenever the size "8vo" is quoted it is used as
implying 8vo et infra (12mo, 16mo, 24mo, or less).

CHAPTER I. .
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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

CHAPTER IV.
List of the principal Technical Terms used by BooTcsellers
and Printers.
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

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

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

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.

CHAPTER VI.
Old Printers and Old Presses.
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.

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

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

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

(£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.

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.

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

are subsequently referred to. Wolf also drew for the
Zoological Society of London a series of Sketches in
imperial folio, published in 1861, with coloured plates.

Scientific Voyag'es and Travels.
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

tomology, botany, and meteorology, and is worth about <£20

CHAPTER IX.
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,

CHAPTER X.
Works on Law and General Science.
To give a list of works upon Law would answer no
practical purpose, since few people, save those whose
business it is to study the subject, would think of
spending their money in the collection of works relating
to it.
Still, if only for the 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.
The Law of Personal Property, that is, the law relating
to goods and chattels : Williams on the " Law of Personal
Property" ; ^61 Is.
The Law of Contracts, or the law which governs agreements
respecting property of any kind, popularly called " Commercial
Law " : Indebmaue's " Principles of the Common Law " ; £1.
Tlie Law of Torts, or the law relating to private injuries,
such as assault, slander, libel, false imprisonment, &c. : Undeb-
HILL on " Torts " ; 93. See also Indebmauk, supra.
120 THE LIBRARY MANUAL.
Equity, or the law as administered by the Courts of Chancery:
Snell's " Equity " ; ^£1 5s.
Criminal Law : Oke's " Magisterial Synopsis " ; ,£3 3s.
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.

CHAPTER XI.
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.

in 1, royal folio, London, 1847 ; .£1 5a. An English edition of

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.

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.

CHAPTER XII.
General Worhs on Antiquities.
Archaeology and General Antiquities.
"Works relating to antiquarian subjects have sold for
some time at prices which seem to vary but little. Books
on numismatology, ancient monuments, brasses, heraldry,
and similar subjects, are frequently furnished with
coloured illustrations. Where the contrary proves to be
the case, the value may confidently be expected to
decline. When, however, the plates are coloured, it
should remain stationary for some time to come. The
exceptions to this rule are few, and occur almost entii'ely
in connection with very old works, which are valued
primarily as examples of early printing. These are, of
course, very highly prized whatever the state of the
woodcuts may be, or even if there are no illustrations at
all. In heraldic books it is customary to announce the
proper armorial colourings in the printed description of
the quarterings, and works of this class are not often
emblazoned. When they are, however, the value is
con-espondingly increased.
Works on archaeology and general antiquities, referring
chiefly to architectural remains, cathedral antiquities,
monastic surveys, and the like, are sometimes ilkistrated
and sometimes not. In either event the value appears to
be stationary. Antiquarians constitute a limited class.

CHAPTER XIII.
Greek and Latin Classics.
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.

CHAPTER XIV.
Religious Worhs.
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."

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
five books are printed in different types and were sold
sejiarately. Luft printed the first book, and may have printed
some of the others, but as to this it is impossible to say
precisely. A perfect copy is in the British Museum, and was
purchased for that institution at the Crawford Sales, in June,
1887, for .£255. The book is in 16mo.

fetch proportionately a little more. This series comprises a
most useful selection of works in every department of English
literature. A complete catalogue can be obtained from Messrs.

Massingfer (Philip). 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.). If on large paper, ^£2 16s. (cf. gt.).
There are previous editions of 1759, 4 vols., Svo; 1761,
4 vols., Svo; and 1779, 4 vols., Svo, each of which is worth
a few shillings.

GENERAL WORKS. 267
Blilton (John), Paradise Lost. 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.).
The second variation has the name John Milton on the
title-page, but much smaller.
The third variation has the author's initials only, J. M.
The fourth variation has a fleur-de-lis ornament of four
lines under the author's name, and immediately after the
title are, for the first time, seven preliminary leaves ;
^13 10s. (mor. ex., by Bedford), ,£4 10s. (cut).
Fifth variation, printed by Simmons, 4to, in 1668. There
are three stars, thus ^*#, before and after the author's
name; .£13 (cf.).
Sixth variation, the same as the fifth, excepting that there
are no stars on the title-page.
The seventh variation has the date at the foot of the page,
in the centre, instead of at the end of the previous line.
The eighth variation, the word Angel on the title-page is
in italics, and there is a comma instead of a full stop after
the word " Brittain " ; .£5 15s. (mor. ex.).
The ninth variation differs very slightly from the eighth,
and only in punctuation.
The First Edition of 1667 has been reprinted, London,
1873, Aldine Press, 4to ; ^1 5s. (cl.).

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.

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.

296 THE LIBRARY MANUAL.
Sontliey (Robert). 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 Spectator, Tatler, and Guardian, as above, and also
The Freeholder, 1716, and Englishman, 1714, together 16 vols.,
8vo ; £1 8s. (cf. gt., large paper).
The Spectator, Tatler, and Guardian, largest type edition,
14 vols., 8vo, 1757-60, vignettes by Hayday ; £3 15s. (mor.
ex., g. e.).
The Spectator, Tatler, and Guardian, with prefaces by
Chalmers, 12 vols., 1822, 8vo; ,£1 3s. (hf. cf.).
Of the above editions those of 1757-60 are much the best,

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.

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. (cf. ex.,

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.

CHAPTER XVII.
Evglish Literature (continued) — Old Chronicles.
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.

CHAPTER XIX.
Private Presses.
A BOOK " privately printed " is one that is circulated
gratuitously by the author, or at any rate not " pub-
lished" for sale. Most of these books are printed by
professional typographers, but some, though compara-
tively speaking only a few, have issued from private
presses, established by amateurs, who have personally
superintended the production of their works. Private
presses have of late 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.
