Book collecting
The last representatives of the Elzevir family were Peter, the grandson
of Joost, who, during the years 1667-75, printed seven or eight volumes
of little consequence, which were published at Utrecht, and Abraham, the
grandson of the first Abraham, who, from 1681 to 1712, was University
printer at Leyden. As the family pedigree is considerably involved, or,
like most other pedigrees, appears to be so at first sight, I give a
chart for the convenience of the reader, with the dates during which
each member of the family flourished, omitting, however, the names of
many other members of the family, who do not enter into the scope of the
inquiry, and who were, in fact, not printers at all.
