Excerpt from Catalogue of My English Library I confess that I am an advocate of fine bindings. But bookbinding is so much a matter of taste and individual fancy, that little need be said here, for every one can gratify his own taste according to his means. There are few things, however, upon which the rich can display their wealth and taste to better advantage than upon their libraries. Binding ad mits of an infinite variety of design in ornaments, and whether cheap or dear may, in skilful hands, always be kept within the bounds of good taste. For public libraries, where chiefly the contents of the books are regarded, cheap, or what is techni cally called half binding in calf or morocco, is usually sufficient but in private hands of the wealthy, where books are not only a library but articles of luxury and furniture, great pains should be taken to secure not only the best editions, but those adorned with a variety of choice and artistic bindings.

Excerpt from Catalogue of Books Selected From the Library of an English Amateur, Vol. 1 The great predominance of French books has decided me to use both English and French in their description. I have more especially availed myself of the French language in de scribing the bindings, and have also, in some cases, copied extracts from French catalogues, and other sources, in their original language. I desire to thank many of my friends for the assistance they have given me in the compilation of this brochure, and at the same time to ask their indulgence when glancing over this first catalogue of my books, volumes which it has been my pleasure and amusement to collect.

Excerpt from Catalogue of an Exhibition of Original Editions of the Principal English Classics It is hoped, therefore, that the exhibition, described in the following pages, may be of service to a wide circle of students, who may be still unaware of the wealth of material which is available to them here, for the study of English literature. It is impossible, within the limits of a short prefatory note, to convey anything like an adequate idea of the extent of the collection from which the exhibits are selected. This, how ever, should be said, that its range must not be estimated by the comparatively limited number of works, which can be accommodated in the exhibition cases of the library. In the annotations to the entries reference has been made to the interesting features and peculiarities of many of the editions shown, and it will be noticed that of several of these works no other copy is known, whilst of others only one or two other copies are recorded.

Excerpt from Catalogue of the Library of the Late Winston H. Hagen I have been asked to write a few words by way of introduction to the catalogue of the library of my dear friend, Winston H. Hagen. It is hardly necessary to do so, as the well selected and beautifully proportioned character of the collection speaks for itself, and it is at once evident to the most casual observer that it was formed by one intimately familiar with the history and development of English literature. Mr. Hagen often said that when he first began buying rare books, he had formed a plan to secure a small but important collection which should consist of the monumental works of the leading authors from Chaucer to the present day. For instance, a First Folio Shakespeare, 1623; Paradise Lost, 1667; Burton's Anatomy, 1621; Pope's Dunciad, 1728; Goldsmith's Vicar of Wakefield, 1766, and so on until he should cover the development of our literature from the early days to our own time. But gradually, while still pursuing this intelligent plan, he found himself from time to time enlarging his scope here and there as seemingly unusual opportunities occurred to add treasures that he found too attractive to resist. So almost unconsciously he found himself a general collector of all English writers. Hagen was a collector because he was essentially a book lover and student of literature, and did not buy simply to add a rare item to his catalogue, that aside from its rarity had little else to recommend it. And so it has developed that, in my opinion, a better planned collection within its well-defined limits has never been dispersed by auction. And now this splendid result of a lifetime is to be broken up, and those cherished volumes are to find other homes and other owners. Perhaps it is better so. I remember the late Robert Hoe returning from abroad told me of the neglect he had seen in some famous libraries, where priceless Caxtons were carelessly thrown into open bin-like shelves, and covered with grime and dust, permitted to lie there neglected and forgotten. "No," said he, "rare books should go to those who value and love them." This is no doubt the reason his library was dispersed by auction and not bequeathed to an institution. When I come to turn over hastily the proof sheets of this collection, I am struck by its completeness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Brief List of Some of the Rarer and Most Curious Old-Book Rarities: In the Library of J. O. Halliwell, Esq., Illustrative Chiefly of Early English Popular Literature The drawer containing the books, noted rather than noticed in the following pages, may be called my little Pepysian. It includes more unique books than are to be found in the Capell collection, or in many a college library. With the Pepysian itself no library can be compared; but, as far as it goes, this drawer might deserve to be annexed to it. The books in it have not been collected in a month, or a year, but are the choicest out of a large collection formed during many a year.
