CLEMENT (D.) Bibliothèque Curieuse, Historique et Critique; ou
Catalogue raisonné de Livres difficiles à trouver, par David Clement. 9
vols., rl. 4to. _Göttingen, Hannover, et Leipsic._ 1750-60.
"A _sine qua non_ with collectors; but in this country it begins
to be--to use the figurative language of some of the German
bibliographers--'scarcer than a white crow or a black swan.'
The reader may admit which simile he pleases, or reject both!
but in sober earnestness it is very rare and unconscionably
dear."--DIBDIN. _Per contra_, it usually sells very cheap. One copy
was printed on large paper.
COGGESHALL (W. T.) The Newspaper Record, containing a Complete List of
Newspapers and Periodicals in the United States, Canadas, and Great
Britain, together with a Sketch of the Origin and Progress of Printing,
with some Facts about Newspapers in Europe and America. By W. T.
Coggeshall. 8vo, pp. xiv, 194. _Philadelphia: Kay & Brother._ 1856.
COGSWELL (Joseph Green). [Bibliography of] Literary History. 8vo, pp.
112. [_Cambridge._ 1822 or 1823.]
COLLIER (J. P.) A Bibliographical and Critical Account of the Rarest
Books in the English Language, Alphabetically arranged, which during
the last fifty years, have come under the observation of J. Payne
Collier, F.S.A. 2 vols., 8vo. _London: Joseph Lilly._ 1865. + _New
York: Scribner & Co._ 1865. 4 vols., cr. 8vo.
Of the New York edition some copies are on large paper, and five
copies were printed on India paper. In the New York reprint all the
"Addenda and Corrigenda" which are prefixed to the first volume of
that edition are placed in their proper positions. The "Index,"
also, is greatly enlarged. This valuable and interesting work is,
in fact, an extended edition of the author's catalogue of the Duke
of Bridgewater's library. It describes books which, for the most
part, are so scarce, that but few American libraries possess them;
and Mr. Collier has performed an acceptable office in quoting
largely from the works he has described.
COLLIER. Catalogue Bibliographical and Critical of Early English
Literature, forming a portion of the Library at Bridgewater-House. By
J. P. Collier. 4to. Facsimile Engravings of Autograph Inscriptions, &c.
_London._ 1837.
