Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Bibliographer's Manual of English Literature, Vol. 1 of 6: Containing an Account of Rare, Curious, and Useful Books, Published in or Relating to Great Britain and Ireland, From the Invention of Printing In proportion to the advancement and general diffusion of literature ought to be the publication of references to, and accounts of, the multifarious works with which the genius of past and of the present times has enlightened and benefited mankind. Bibliography, or a knowledge of particular books, the peculiarities of editions, their value, and what may be termed an intimate acquaintance with the history and character of a work, has, however, been singularly neglected in this country; and rich as our literature is in most departments, that particular class, on which all others are in a great degree dependent, is confessedly deficient. In France, Spain, Italy, Germany, and Holland, numerous volumes have been written on the literary history of those several countries, together with others on universal literature; but in England, excepting a few catalogues of books on particular subjects, no general Bibliographical work deserving the name was ever published until the appearance of the "Bibliotheca Britannica" by Watt, which will be again alluded to. It is not intended to explain the cause of the low state of Bibliographical knowledge in England; but it may, perhaps, be partly ascribed to the folly of acquiring, at enormous prices, works which are no otherwise valuable than for their rarity, consisting, as that rarity sometimes does, in a colophon or the name of a printer, the texture or colour of the paper, the width of the margin, the occurrence or omission of a date, or even in an obvious defect. Mankind are disposed to remember the abuse rather than the utility of pursuits in which few are deeply interested; and in the ridicule which the enthusiastic zeal of bibliomaniacs has cast on Bibliography, they lose sight of the fact, that all accurate knowledge is in a greater or less degree absolutely dependent thereon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Library of American Biography, Vol. 1 The great political consequences of the war of the revolution have thrown into comparative oh scurity the previous military history of the British North American Colonies. In reality, however, the military efforts made by those Colonies, not only in the Seven Years' war, but in that of 1744, were of great importance. Large forces were kept on foot; distant and important expeditions were undertaken with success; valuable con quests were achieved; and, on more than one occasion, a very decisive influence on the politics of Europe was exercised by the colonial govern ments. Great importance would have been at tached to these transactions, but for the greater importance and interest of those, which followed so close upon them, in the war of the Revolution. But it is not the least of the reasons, why we ought to study the history of these earlier wars, that they formed in reality the great school, in which the military leaders of the Revolution were trained.

This book was released on 2018-01-08 with total page 1168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from List of Books Forming the Reference Library in the Reading Room of the British Museum, Vol. 1: Authors The first edition of the catalogue of books on the ground floor of the Reading Room was published by the Trustees under the title of List of the 'books of Reference in the Reading Room of the British Museum in the year 1859, two years after the present Reading Room was opened. It contained an introduction by Mr. J. Winter Jones, Keeper of Printed Books from 1856 to 1866 and Principal Librarian from 1866 to 1878, which gives the fullest account extant of the earlier state of the Library and of the origin and construction of the circular Reading Room and of the Iron Library which surrounds it. This introduction has been reprinted in the present work, and is well worth reading by all who are interested in the British Museum. A second edition was published in 1871 and a third in 1889, each recording the changes in the Reference Library and the improvements in the Reading Room which had taken place since its foundation.

Download or read book Catalogue of the American Library of the Late Mr George Brinley of Hartford Conn Vol 1 written by George Brinley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 740 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the American Library of the Late Mr. George Brinley, of Hartford, Conn, Vol. 1: America in General, New France Canada Etc., The British Colonies to 1776, New England Some critical readers may object to the frequent recurrence of the terms scarce, rare, superlatively rare, and so on; and if such terms have been misapplied the objection is certainly a valid one. But it is believed that a thorough examination of the catalogue will show that reference to the rarity of a book or tract has been omitted when it might fairly have been made, ten times as often as it has been made without warrant of critical bibliography. Turn, for example, to the collection of Books printed in New England, 1640 - 1709 (pages 87 and to that of the Works of the Mathers (pp. 127 and of the six hundred and fifty consecutive titles there are scarcely twenty that any American bibliographer could hesitate to mark rare, or very rare. The general plan of the Catalogue is indicated, as regards the First Part, by the table of Contents, prefixed. The arrangement it can hardly be called a classification is substantially that which was adopted by Mr. Brinley himself, for his book-shelves. A strictly alphabetical arrangement, by authors' names or titles, would perhaps have been more acceptable to bibliographers, but the extent of the library rendered such an arrangement impracticable, and it seemed inappropriate to the sale-catalogue of a library which is not less remarkable for the completeness of its collections in special depart ments, than by the number of its titles.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Will Watch, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Auto-Biography of a British Officer This work was originally composed with a view to sustaining the anonymous. This design being now however abandoned, there is one point connected with the ensuing tale which appears to require some little explanation. In taking for the opening of my narrative, the history of a maternal uncle, I was guided solely by the interest which I conceived the melancholy story to possess. As an anonymous writer, the quarter from whence it came would have remained unknown. Now, however, it may be proper to inform the reader, that he can obtain a more full account of the various transactions alluded to in the singular paper left to Charles Arran (whose real name was Charles Hamilton) by his father.
