WILSON (L.) Catalogue of Bibles, Testaments, Psalms, and other Books of
the Holy Scriptures in English in the Collection of Lea Wilson. 4to.
_London._ 1845.
Of this valuable catalogue very few copies were printed, all for
presents. Archdeacon Cotton, who refers to this work in almost
every page of his list of the various editions of the Holy
Scriptures, says, "I have much pleasure in testifying to the great
accuracy and minuteness of the collations and descriptions in
this most valuable catalogue. Those of the earlier and more rare
editions are given with a fullness and distinctness which leaves
nothing to desire. I could not insert all those particulars into
a slight work like the present list; but confidently refer those
persons who desire more detailed notice of any remarkable edition
to this curious and valuable catalogue of Mr. Wilson."
