WHEATLEY, F.S.A., Author of "How to Form a Library." "Mr. Wheatley's volume confers lustre upon the series in which it appears. Not only does it contain a large amount of bibliographical information, all conveyed in the pleasantest way, it is a practical treatise upon cataloguing. To all in control of libraries, to the collector as much as the librarian, the book directly appeals, and the information under the head of How to treat a Titlepage is of supreme value. For the benefit of his readers, moreover, is issued an abridged list of the Latin names of places which to those who do not possess the two series of the invaluable Typographical Gazetteer' of Cotton, will be of highest importance. Under the head of Dates' information which though known, of course, to bibliographers, is anything rather than a general possession, is furnished. In whatever light this little volume is regarded, it is a prize. Its size is out of all proportion to its worth."—Notes and Queries. LONDON: ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C.
