DE BURY (Richardi). Phylobyblon, seu de Querimoniis Librorum omnibus
Literarum Amatoribus. [_Sine ullâ notâ, sed Coloniæ._ MCCCCLXXXIII.]
First edition, very rare. An admirable translation of this
interesting volume was published some few years since by Mr. Rodd.
These early and rare books often contain much amusing matter and
considerable information, even at this our advanced state of
civilization. Those who come in from a walk on a cold winter's day
are here cautioned to use a kerchief ere they presume to look at a
rare book, and also to avoid having books opened during meals.
