Very scarce; most of the copies having been destroyed by fire. It is to be regretted that when the author undertook this work he had not made himself better acquainted with the duties of a bibliographer--to say that it is carelessly done, is but mild criticism. The critical notices are numerous, voluminous, and often unnecessary.

No work (up to its date) contains so full a list of this class of books. The titles are, however, frequently inaccurate, the descriptions few and meagre.

To collectors of works, containing early or local proverbs, a study as entertaining, as useful to the etymologist, this manual will be found indispensable, as there are many works, particularly among those early printed, which contain proverbs among other matter, though not clearly stated in the title; it is, in fact, a very extensive chronological list of proverbial works, and a collection of proverbs in all languages. _See_ Petzholdt, p. 697.

Two hundred and fifty copies printed. The two leaves, subsequently printed, giving an account of the sale of the edition at auction, at the upset price of £9 per set, should be added, "a result," says Mr. Sotheby "unparalleled in the annals of literature."

It contains an extended examination of the various editions of the block books (or books printed from wooden blocks), the earliest productions of the art, issued in Holland, Flanders, and Germany, such as the Apocalypsis S. Johannis, Biblia Pauperum, Ars Moriendi, Cantica Canticorum, Liber Regum, Temptationes Dæmonum, Ars Memorandi, Endkrist, Quindecim Signa, De Generatione Christi, Miribilia Romæ, etc. It is not, however, confined to a history of block books, for it gives minute accounts, accompanied by exact facsimiles, of some of the most interesting and rare works printed with movable type in the infancy of the art, such as the Donatuses, Doctrinale, Catonis Disticha, Horarium, Facetiæ, Morales, Speculum Humanæ Salvationis, Bartolomæus van de Proprietaten der Dinghen, Exhortatio contra Turcos, Literæ Indulgentiarum, etc.

"Printed in the best style of the Chiswick Press, regardless of time, it comprises 2934 titles given in full, with the collation and price of each work. It was intended as far as it went to be a manual for collectors of this expensive class of books. But it did not go very far, containing as it does, not a selection, but only such books as the author happened to possess at that time. It was intended to supply the deficiencies by additional volumes, but these have never appeared, and probably never will in this form."--_Author._ A few copies were issued in 1858 with a different title. _See_ Petzholdt, p. 812.

Also on large paper, rl. 8vo. This catalogue contains 2415 lots, with collations, etc., and will be useful to the collector. It is, in fact, an abridgment of Stevens' _Historical Nuggets_, although the latter was not published till 1862. It is one of the most carefully prepared auction catalogues ever issued.

STEVENS. Bibliotheca Historica; or, a Catalogue of ... Books and Manuscripts relating chiefly to the History and Literature of North and South America; among which is included the larger proportion of the extraordinary Library of the late Henry Stevens, Sr., of Barnet, Vt. Edited, with Introduction and Notes, by Henry Stevens.... 8vo, pp. xv, (1), 234, (1). _Boston._ 1870.

Beautifully printed and profusely annotated. One of the few bibliographical works which combines amusement with profit and instruction.

STEVENS. Catalogue of My English Library collected and described by Henry Stevens.... Fcap 8vo, pp. xi, 107. _London: Printed by C. Whittingham. Nov. 1853. For Private Distribution._

"The pleasure we have experienced in perusing these sheets, has been considerably heightened by our confidence in the accuracy of the contents (Major Stewart giving notes and references from the most authentic materials), and from the modest, unassuming manner in which the whole is written. The work Major Stewart proposed to write was one of great curiosity to all classes of readers, and a desideratum of real consequence to Oriental scholars."--_British Critic._

STEWART (C. J.) Catalogue of the Library collected by Miss Richardson Currer, at Eshton Hall, Craven, Yorkshire, By C. J. Stewart, Bookseller. Rl. 8vo, pp. xii, 501. 4 Plates. _London: Printed for Private Circulation only._ 1833.

This catalogue, now rare, contains much more than that by Triphook. See _Notes and Queries_, Second Series, XII. 77. Mr. Stewart's catalogues of his own stock are replete with valuable bibliographical and critical notices. It is no exaggeration to say that in the departments of literature to which Mr. Stewart has given special attention he is the best living authority.

To which is prefixed a Concise View of the Discovery and Progress of the Art in other parts of the World.... By Isaiah Thomas, Printer, Worcester, Massachusetts. 2 vols., 8vo, pp. 487; 576. _Worcester: From the Press of Isaiah Thomas, Jun._ 1810.

This valuable work, written and published in advance of the time, met with no favor, and was quickly forgotten. It was reprinted with the following title:

THOMAS. The History of Printing in America: ... By Isaiah Thomas, LL.D. ... Second Edition. With the Author's Corrections and Additions, and a Catalogue of American Publications previous to the Revolution of 1776.... 2 vols., 8vo, pp. lxxxvii, 423, Portrait; 666, Index, (50). _Albany, N. Y.: Joel Munsell, Printer._ 1874.

In this edition some of the matter in the first it omitted. The list of ante-revolutionary publications is far from being complete, and it is much to be regretted that many of the titles are not given correctly; one specimen is conspicuous: on page 405, article Bass, an error in the Massachusetts Catalogue is pointed out, but the title is turned round. There is nothing in the title about Benjamin Colman, and the collation is pp. (2), iii, 40; the printer's name is not given. Errors like these swarm in the list, a circumstance to be regretted, as a little additional labor would have made that right which is now wrong. It is the more inexcusable, as a reference to Sabin's _Dictionary_ would have furnished many titles entirely omitted or incorrectly described.

[THOMAS (Ralph).] Handbook of Fictitious Names; being a Guide to Authors, chiefly in the Lighter Literature of the XIXth Century, who have written under Assumed Names; and to Literary Forgers, Imposters, Plagiarists, and Imitators.

Vols. I. and II. Authors; III. and IV. Subjects. A work of the greatest utility, and an invaluable list of authors and their works. In the first part of the work, the authors are arranged in alphabetical order, and under each is given a chronological list of his works, their various editions, sizes, and prices. In the second part, the same materials are digested under the names of the various subjects to which they refer, and under each the titles of works are again arranged chronologically. The first part is a full and comprehensive catalogue of authors and their works; the second is an equally complete and extensive encyclopædia of all manner of subjects on which books have been written. "Let me not forget to notice that wonderful work of Dr. Watt--both father and son fell victims to their zeal in its completion. Such a concentration of labour was hardly ever beheld; and it should never fail to be the library companion of all collectors."--DIBDIN.

Archdeacon Cotton, who refers to this work in almost every page of his list of the various editions of the Holy Scriptures, says, "I have much pleasure in testifying to the great accuracy and minuteness of the collations and descriptions in this most valuable catalogue. Those of the earlier and more rare editions are given with a fullness and distinctness which leaves nothing to desire. I could not insert all those particulars into a slight work like the present list; but confidently refer those persons who desire more detailed notice of any remarkable edition to this curious and valuable catalogue of Mr. Wilson."
