Descripción

2 Vols., large 8vo, lxiii, 512; [ii], [513]-1194pp., half-titles and final leaf browned, woodcut arms on titles and woodcut initials in the text, later cloth-backed marbled boards. The only library catalogue of the Queenís College, Cambridge. Munby, Cambridge College Libraries. pp. 36-37. ëThe Library of Queenís is notable for the excellent catalogue of the whole collection by Thomas Hartwell Horne, published in two volumes in 1827. Hornís catalogue, elaborately classified with author- and subject indexes, provides the best account available in print of the contents of a thriving College Library in the early nineteenth century. Horne catalogues nearly 30,000 volumes including no less than 700 volumes of bound tracts. Noteworthy also was the bequest in 1820 of over 3,000 volumes by Isaac Milner, President, a collection rich in works on the history of the Reformation and on eighteenth and early nineteenth-century science and mathematics.í
