Description

5 Vols., 4to (268 x 180 mm), limited to 130, frontis., portrait, a very good ex-library set, later red quarter calf, cloth boards. Huth's collection, which ranked among the finest in England, was rich in incunabula, voyages, Shakespearean and early English literature, and Bibles. He began compiling this catalogue late in life, but finding it too time-consuming, he employed W.C. Hazlitt and F. S. Ellis to do most of the work. "With the assistance of Ellis and Hazlitt, Huth had started printing a magnificent catalogue of his library, with full titles of every item and exact collations, both entirely novel features in a library catalogue. The work was completed in five volumes two years after his death and has remained. a corner-stone of British bibliography." De Ricci, p. 151.
