A propos de cet article

29 volumes in 15, cloth, 8vo, 22 cm, many thousand pp. 106,413 entries. F.R. Goff: 'The most important single bibliography relating to America that has ever been compiled.' Sabin aims to includes all notable books, pamphlets and periodicals that were written by Americans or relate to America no matter where they were printed (in contrast Evans' American Bibliography includes only books printed in America). The details provided are full title, place, publisher, date, paging, format, notes, and in most instances the names of libraries possessing copies. The arrangement is alphabetical by authors, anonymous items being entered under a significant word from the title. Most entries were seen by the editor from time to time, but Sabin relied in some cases on previously published descriptions, including some from booksellers' catalogues. If this sometimes produces inaccuracies, it avoids unnecessary omissions, and each of the editors was a highly accomplished bibliographer - one reviewer drew attention to the fact that "Such large sections as editions of the Bay Psalm Book, Ptolemy, Reisch's Margarita Philosophica, Captain John Smith, and Vespucci, all the work of Dr. Eames, are contributions of the highest type of scientific bibliography". The completed work has some 106,413 serial numbers, "but thousands of these serial numbers represent not one but many titles and editions. . It is therefore probable that well over a quarter of a million different publications appear in the Dictionary as well as the location in the world's great libraries of not far from a million copies." Contents: v. 1. [1-2] A.B. - Brownell - v. 2. [3-4] Brownell - Costa - v. 3. [5-6] Costa Rica - Franklin - v. 4. [7-8] Franklin - Huntington - v. 5. [9-10] Huntington - Mclary - v. 6. [11-12] McClean - Nederland - v. 7. [13-14] Nederland - Philadelphia - v. 8. [15-16] Philadelphia - Remarks - v. 9. [17-18] Remarks - Schedae Ara - v. 10. [19-20] Schedel - Smith - v. 11. [21-22] Smith to Spiritual - v. 12. [23-24] Spiritual - Ternaux-Compans - v. 13. [25-26] Ternaux-Compans - Vindex - v. 14. [27-28] Vindex - Witherspoon - v. 15. [29] Witherspoon - Zwey. The spine-panel of Vol.3-4 is mislabelled as vol.1-2, a few minor marks to spines or covers, some vols a trifle bumped, otherwise a Very Good set.…
