Description:
William Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh, new edition, 1882. Limited edition of 1000 numbered large-paper copies. Cloth, gilt cover illustration, 8vo,. civ, 427, [1] pp, ills. According to Rosenblum: "A pleasant exploration of the nature of book collecting. Part 1, 'His Nature,' considers the character of the bibliophile. Here Burton presents such characters as 'Inch-rule Brewer,' who 'is guiltless of all intermeddling with the contents of books, but in their external attributes his learning is marvelous.' Another figure is Magnus Lucullus, Esq.: 'He must have the best and most complete editions, whether common or rare; and . . . They must be in perfect condition.' Part 2 examines the functions of the bibliophile, Part 3 his clubs. Many of these, such as the Roxburghe (England) and the Camden, initiated publishing programs, and these publications are the subject of the final unit. Combines information with entertainment." The "Memoir of the author"…
