Dr. Dibdin justly terms this work a "Standard authority on matters of Biblical Literature." There is scarcely an edition of the Bible extant in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, or Polyglots, but it is accurately described, and all textual, as well as typographical variations, pointed out; it is perhaps the most perfect Manual of Biblical Bibliography extant. The first edition wasParisiis.1709. 2 vols., 8vo.

This is perhaps the most laborious and most able bibliographical work which has ever appeared. It is scarcely possible to find a volume or a manuscript in any way connected with French history which is not fully described, and it frequently gives curious details respecting English historians. Brunet remarks "Cet ouvrage et un des travaux les plus essentiels qu'ait produit la science bibliographique, et il doit se trouver dans tous les Bibliothèques."

"The author of this work, probably the first which contains a Catalogue of Books on America, afterwards took the surname of Pinelo.

By William Thomas Lowndes. 4 vols., 8vo, pp. xii, 2002.

London: William Pickering.MDCCCXXXIV.

First published as a serial; Part 1. is dated 1828. Invaluable to the collector or librarian. The type of this is larger than that of the following edition:

Lowndes.[Same Title.] New Edition, Revised, Corrected and Enlarged, By Henry G. Bohn. 6 vols., 8vo, pp. 2746.

London: Henry G. Bohn.1857-69.

Issued in eleven parts, each of which contains some preliminary, explanatory, or exculpatory notice by Mr. Bohn. It is much to be regretted that the earlier part of the work does not include the same ratio of additions as the later, and book-collectors, in general, would have been pleased to pay a higher price for a handsomer book. Mr. Bohn's name as editor did not appear on the first title to Vol. 1. Power remarks "A good guide to Mr. Bohn's various reprints and 'Libraries,' and the appendix is a carefully-compiled list of the publications of the Book-printing Clubs, the private presses, such as Strawberry Hill, Lee Priory, &c., and the rare reprints of Collier, Halliwell, Maidment, Turnbull, and others.The Bibliographer's Manualis a work which, for want of a better, no English book-lover can do without. The first edition has the advantage of Mr. Bohn's, being printed in more legible type." Later issues bear the name ofBell & Daldyas publishers. In 1869, two hundred and fifty copies were printed on large paper, in 6 vols., cr. 8vo. The statement that one hundred copies were printed on large paper, which appears on that number of copies which were sent to America, is, to say the least, an abbreviation of the truth. Mr. Bohn's eleven prefatory notices, which to some extent explain the nature and extent of his labors, have been omitted in the large paper copies, both editions being in other respects exactly the same. There is no substitute forThe Bibliographer's Manual; undertaken originally to supply an obvious desideratum felt by all readers and book-buyers, it forms at once a key to the riches of English literature for the student, and a guide in the formation of a library for the collector. In its present enlarged form it comprises notices of upwards of one hundred thousand distinct books published in Great Britain and Ireland, but it is susceptible of much improvement.

Lowndes.The British Librarian, or Book Collector's Guide to the formation of a Library, in all Branches of Literature, ... With Prices, Critical Notes, References, and an Index of Authors and Subjects.... By William T. Lowndes. 8vo, 1320 columns.

Eleven parts; comprising "Religion and its History," being all that were published. It is a valuable Bibliography of Theological Literature; its completion was prevented by the death of the author.
