The verso of the title reads "250 copies printed in all: For sale
in England, 100. To send to America 150." On the publication of
Vol. II. in 1846, new title-pages were issued for the work in 2
vols. as below:
RICH. Bibliotheca Americana Nova. A Catalogue of Books Relating to
America, in various Languages, including Voyages to the Pacific and
round the World, and Collections of Voyages and Travels Printed since
the Year 1700. Compiled principally from the Works themselves, by O.
Rich.... Vol. I. 1701-1800; Vol. II. 1801-1844. 2 vols., 8vo, pp. (4),
517; 4, 412. _London: Rich & Sons._ 1846.
The half title in Vol. I. was omitted in the second issue, and a
dedication follows the title-page.
RICH. Supplement to the Bibliotheca Americana Nova. Part I. Additions
and Corrections. 1701-1800. 8vo, pp. (2), 425-517.
_London: O. Rich._ 1841.
This should be bound up with Vol. I. In the copies of Vol. I. which
were issued in 1846, this supplement is included sometimes with and
sometimes without a separate title-page. A few copies of Vol. II.
were printed on one side only on thick paper. Mr. Rich was well
known in the bibliographical world for his collection of rare books
relating to Spain and America, and his _Bibliotheca Americana_ is
a work of great labor and research, and of real service to the
student of history. See _Athenæum_, 1850, p. 102, and Petzholdt,
pp. 801-802.
