Forms another supplemental volume to the _Bibliotheca Spenceriana_,
with an index to the seven volumes, and completes the work.
DIBDIN. A Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France
and Germany. By the Rev. Tho. Frognall Dibdin. 3 vols., rl. 8vo.
_London: Printed for the Author._ 1821.
Also on large paper, 3 vols., imp. 8vo. "This work contains much
curious information respecting the MSS. and rare works in public
and private libraries abroad. It is printed and embellished in the
same style of excellence as the Doctor's other works."--LOWNDES.
"A work calculated to have as intoxicating an effect on the
imagination of literary antiquaries, as the adventures of the
heroes of the Round Table on all true knights, or the tales
of the early American voyagers on the ardent spirits of their
age. It has not passed, however, without some hostile (though
unfounded) remarks from the printers, binders, and librarians of
France."--WRANGHAM.
DIBDIN. A Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France
and Germany. By the Reverend Thomas Frognall Dibdin, D.D. The Second
Edition. 3 vols., 8vo, pp. (4), xliii, (2), 421, Portraits, Plates;
(4), iv, 428; (4), iv, 481. _London: R. Jennings._ 1829.
This edition omits some of the plates contained in the first, but
has others which are not in that. It is esteemed for its preface,
28 pp., in which the author summarily disposes of Crapelet,
Licquet, and Lesné.
[DIBDIN.] Lettre Neuvième relative à la Bibliothèque de Rouen, traduite
de l'Anglais, avec des Notes par T. Licquet, Conservateur de cette
Bibliothèque. Rl. 8vo. _Paris._ 1821.
Also on large paper. One hundred copies only of this rare tract
were printed. It seldom occurs for sale.
[DIBDIN.] Lettre d'un Relieur Français à un Bibliographe Anglais, par
Lesné, Relieur à Paris. 8vo. _Paris._ 1822.
Also on large paper. One hundred copies only printed; very rare.
[DIBDIN.] Lettre Trentième concernant l'Imprimerie et la Librairie de
Paris, traduite de l'Anglais, avec des Notes, par G. A. Crapelet. Imp.
8vo. _Paris._ 1821.
Only one hundred copies printed; the notes and preface, which
contain so much that is "silly" and "scurrilous," drew from Dr.
Dibdin the following reply, _A Roland for an Oliver_.
DIBDIN. A Roland for an Oliver; or, Brief Remarks upon the Preface and
Notes of G. A. Crapelet, attached to his Translation of the Thirtieth
Letter of the Bibliographical, Antiquarian, and Picturesque Tour. By
the Author of that Town. Imp. 8vo. _London._ 1821.
Of this excessively rare morceau, the rarest perhaps of all Dr.
Dibdin's works, only thirty-six copies were privately printed.
