Synopsis
Excerpt from A Record of Books and Letters
This volume, like its predecessor, is a contribution to the history of the prices of rare books. It shows for what sums of money an astute collector has been able to buy not a few of the most desirable things that ever come upon the market; it also shows at how con siderable an advance over the purchase price such trea sures may be sold. I fancy, therefore, that the cata logue will serve a purpose more useful than at first sight appears, a purpose of which perhaps the compiler him self did not dream: it will justify the collector of aver age means in the sanity of his pursuit and in the gen eral wisdom of his investments.
