Bernard Quaritch, London, first edition, 1868. Half leather, raised bands, gilt spine titles, edges marbled, marbled endpapers, thick 8vo,. viii, 1130 pp. Over 14,701 entries. A wonderful catalogue. After the main catalogue of 933 pages, arranged by subject, comes nearly 100 pages of "latest purchases" which includes a "choice selection" from the stock of H G Bohn, Quaritch's great rival who had recently retired. There is an appendix of 24 pages of books wanted for purchase; and an index of 50 pages arranged in 3 columns of extremely small print. In the introduction to his 1870 catalogue Quaritch noted that it had been found too laborious and expensive to repeat the effort of creating such a complete index, and the later catalogue has a much abbreviated one. Covers detached and split along joints into separate boards and spine, covers in any case worn and stained. Contents Good.
