Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Catalogue of the Important Collection of Ancient Arms and Weapons and Accoutrements, Collected by Mr. Theodore Offerman, of New York: To Which Have Been Added Other Valuable Specimens Contributed by Several Well Known Collectors MY dear mr. Kirby: You have asked me to 'say a few words about the present collection of Arms and Armor, on the ground that 'i had long been a collector and that I might there fore comment helpfully upon the text of this. Catalogue and upon the nice things: which are soon to be sold.' Be this help even a little, I am glad to send you these lines. For while one can claim to be at least an 'old local collector, whose practical memories of sales, go back to the Cogniat (1877) and Carleton Gates (about 1880) Collections, he need. Hardly maintain that he knows a/u, fond the ins! And outs of a subject as extended and difficult as ancient arms and armor.

And armor appeared in American museums. Before this, he who had the taste for collecting these beautiful and-very rare objects had either to go abroad for his training or to glean what information he could - unsatisfactory at the best for his purpose - from the shelves of libraries. As to the present collection: Mr. Offerman's cabinet is like good wine - it needs no bush. Many of our amateurs know various pieces in it, and many, like myself, have bid in vain for some of its numbers at earlier sales. In general, its piece-s were chosen because they appealed individually to their collector - who Chose because he fancied the lines of an object, or its decoration, and who was not, like some of us, trying to fill in the spaces: in a pre arranged sequence of types - when as Mr. Ambrose Monell re marks, collecting becomes a disease. I might note only that Mr. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
