ADVERTISEMENTS.
WORKS BY THE AUTHOR.
A martyr to bibliography: a notice of the life and works of Joseph-Marie Quérard, bibliographer. 1867. Only 200 copies printed: price 3s 6d.
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, impostors, plagiarists, and imitators, 1868.
This work is out of print.
“A useful and amusing guide, especially to English authors of the lighter literature of this century.”—Encyclopædia Britannica, ninth edition. 1875, vol III. p. 658.
“A slight and tentative, though useful production, is the only work yet published on the anonymous and pseudonymous literature of Britain.”—Chambers’ Cyclopædia, London, 1874, vol. II. p. 84.
I could quote numerous other notices. Articles have also been written since this work was published on the subject, mostly acknowledging the source of their information.
I have now determined to limit my collections on this subject, with the end of the year 1879. I have been so many years engaged in obtaining materials that I think there will be more chance of publishing if I confine myself to revising and correcting what I have already collected. I make this declaration so that any body else who may be inclined may take up the subject where I leave off, as the presumption that I am collecting might deter others from doing so.
This period, 1800-1879 is alone sufficient to occupy a lifetime.
A bibliographical list of lord Brougham’s publications arranged in chronological order. 1873. Only 100 copies separately printed. Price 1s.
A few words on Swimming, with practical hints, by R. Harrington; to which is added a bibliographical list of works on swimming by Olphar Hamst. Price one shilling.
I had a few thick paper copies of the list struck off separately with the following title:—
Swimming: a bibliographical list of works on swimming, by the author of the handbook of fictitious names, 1868.
I put the word “Swimming” at the head and used a phrase for pseudonym, so that it might be catalogued under the subject at the British Museum instead of being buried under my name.
Catalogue of the Etchings and Drypoints of J. A. M. Whistler. 1874, with an etching by Percy Thomas of Whistler, after a portrait by himself. Only fifty copies printed. One guinea each.

Transcriber’s Notes
This file uses _underscores_ to indicate italic text.
There were significant errors and inconsistencies in the printed index; to address these, ditto marks and some dashes have been expanded, and punctuation in the index, including for entries and sub-entries, has been silently corrected and standardized. Some entries that were originally out of alphabetical order have been reordered.
In the list of works, all punctuation has been retained as printed, except for a few apparent printer’s errors.
Itemized changes from the original text:
• Table of Contents: Corrected page number for section “Of different descriptions...” from 15 to 14 to match actual pagination • p. 16, n. 12: Missing comma supplied after “Bolton Corney” • p. 17: Corrected “bcause” to “because” • p. 25, n. 26: Opening quotation mark omitted before “A universal alphabet...” • p. 32: Corrected “lankey” to “lanky” • p. 38: Supplied period after “1” to match other list entries • p. 41: Supplied period after “by a lady” in entry 44 • p. 41: Replaced center dot with period after “by a lady” in entry 17 • p. 47: Supplied period apparently omitted by printer after “Lond” in entry 92. • p. 51: Supplied period apparently omitted by printer after “Countess Temple” in entry 138. • p. 52: Corrected “Twelve years a go, atale” to “Twelve years ago, a tale” in entry 141 • p. 52: Corrected “Encyclopœdia Brittanica” to “Encyclopædia Brittanica” • p. 53: Added dividing line before “A few words on Swimming” for consistency • p. 58: Corrected “Arithmetical class book” to “Arithmetical class-book” in index to match reference in text • p. 54: Corrected “different discriptions of” to “different descriptions of” • p. 55: Corrected “Fictious names of authors” to “Fictitious names of authors” • p. 57: Corrected “Spain yesterday and to day” to “Spain yesterday and to-day” • p. 58: Corrected “Truewitt, T.” to “Truewit, T.” in index to match reference in text
Ditto marks in the index have been replaced with text.
