A General Survey of the Pursuit and of those who have engaged in it at Home and Abroad from the Earliest Period to the Present Time. Several monographs by contemporary scholars on the inexhaustible theme of Book-Collecting have made their appearance during the last twenty years. All such undertakings have more or less their independent value and merit from the fact that each is apt to reflect and preserve the special experiences and predilections of the immediate author; and so it happens in the present case.
