Book excerpt: Excerpt from Attempt at a Catalogue of the Library of the Late Prince Louis-Lucien Bonaparte It will always be a matter of regret to philologists that the late Prince Louis-Lucien Bonaparte left his library uncatalogued. Throughout a long life the Prince devoted his best energies and talents to the formation of what he hoped would be the finest linguistic collection of works yet gathered together. Many great authorities, well qualified to give an expert opinion, are agreed in thinking that he succeeded in his ambition. He certainly had exceptional advantages for his task, advantages which it is extremely unlikely to find again united in a single individual. His great philological enthusiasm was well seconded by his high social position and by his extraordinarily rare literary attainments. While yet a young man his fame as a linguist was worldwide, and from all quarters of the globe books poured in upon the cousin of an Emperor who was known to value a rare work above all other treasures. He became the intimate friend of all the great linguists of his day, who delighted in assisting him to the utmost of their power in the accomplishment of his noble desire. His library will be found to contain the best of their works, often enriched with their autographs. Every catalogue of importance came to his hand, so that there was not a book in the market but he knew of it. He valued money only as a means of obtaining books, being lavish in his expenditure on them in the time of his prosperity, and, sometimes actually depriving himself of the bare necessaries of life in order to secure a rare work, when the fall of the Empire had considerably circumscribed his means. During his travels he visited every bookseller of note; he entered every shop where he saw books exposed for sale; he never left any means in his power unemployed to secure a work he fancied. A record of his travels might almost be drawn up from the entries he made in his purchases as to where and when he acquired them. In judging his library it must be remembered that his one object in book-collecting was linguistic; he valued a specimen of a South Pacific dialect, hitherto unrepresented in his library, more highly than a rare edition of the classics; and, if a new language or dialect came to his knowledge, he had no peace of mind until he had secured a specimen for himself.
