Bibliographical literature -- Bibliography; Bibliography of bibliographies
The titles and collations in this otherwise good work are unusually
redundant. The titles are given at length, with every detail of
the location of the publisher, which is a waste of space, and to
some of them there is appended such a statement as "Temple of the
Muses," which is merely an advertising bait of the publishers.
