traveller well knows the importance of a road-book and direction posts; the mariner is equally sensible of the value of charts and beacons; and the youthful and ardent literary husbandman, on entering the immeasurable fields of knowledge, will soon learn from the assurances of the veteran labourer, as well as from his own experience, that his progress will be painful, his success uncertain, without the assistance which, the Editor humbly hopes, these volumes will supply. The little that remains to be said is an acknowledgment, the sincerity of which must supply its deficiency in expression, of the Editor's gratitude to the numerous friends by whose kind assistance and advice his labours have been at once cheered and benefited; more particularly To the Right Honourable THOMAS GRENVILLE, who is no less the master of the contents, than of the property of his books, and who, in the most obliging manner, tendered him the use of his splendid library, as well as of his interesting catalogues, with which, it may be hoped, he may be induced to favour the public. In common with most persons interested in literary pursuits, the Editor is under many obligations to PHILIP AUGUSTUS HANROTT, Esq., to whose late curious and extensive library liberal access was always afforded him. To Messrs. PAYNE and Foss, Mr. COCHRAN, Mr. PICKERING, and especially Mr. RODD, for their constant advice and most useful suggestions, he is eminently obliged. To Mr. R. H. EVANS he is particularly indebted for many valuable hints, and for the loan of the sale catalogues of the numerous important libraries which have passed through his hands, which exhibit a profound knowledge of his profession.-To Messrs. SOTHEBY he begs to return his thanks for access to their extensive series of catalogues. Gratitude demands a strong acknowledgment to the late WILLIAM MEREDITH, Esq., under whose hospitable roof this Manual was commenced in the year 1820. By the late RICHARD HEBER, Esq., (who, as a collector, united the judgment of a Cotton with the princely munificence of a Harley,) he was honoured with approbation and encouragement, and with the offer of access to his immense literary treasures.
