First of 2 volumes in 8vo. pp. xii, [2], xlvi, 556, 4. A widely acclaimed but not entirely dependable assembly of 578 descriptions of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century English books, mostly poetry and popular prose, some very rare, by John Payne Collier, representing the note-taking and revising of five decades. There are three copies in this collection, of which one, disbound, is retained by Arthur and Janet Freeman. The present one is in morocco-backed cloth. See, especially for a list of questionable statements, A. & J. Freeman, John Payne Collier. Scholarship and Forgery in the Nineteenth Century. New Haven, 2004, II, pp. 870-881, A129. <a href="https://catalyst.library.jhu.edu/catalog/bib_4117215" rel="ugc nofollow">Click here to view the Johns Hopkins University catalog record.</a>
