Edinburgh, 1824 another copy, 4 vols. 4to, calf gilt, 91. 9s. ib. 1824 12679 The FIRST PART contains the names of upwards of 40,000 authors; and of each, a short biographical notice is given. It serves, therefore, as a concise but comprehensive Biographical Dictionary, containing, not only all the names to be found in other biographies, but many thousands more derived from other sources. The lists of their works, too, are much more ample, their titles are given at length, and their various editions, transla tions, and subsequent improvements, are most minutely noticed. It contains also the titles of such detached papers as they may have contributed to Transactions, and other periodical publications. It thus forms a Catalogue of Books more minute, and vastly more comprehensive, than is to be met with elsewhere in this or any other language. The SECOND PART is a minute index to the First. In this part the subjects are arranged alphabetically, and under each all the works, and principal parts of works, treating of that subject, are arranged in chronological order, so as to form a sort of annals of what has been written on every subject, from the first publication to the last. Like a map, it brings the whole under the eye at once. But this part, besides serving as a minute index to the First, includes also a very complete list of all the anonymous publications which have appeared in this country. These are inserted according to their respective subjects and dates, with a reference to their publishers, or the libraries in which they are to be found. There is, therefore, no subject with regard to which anything has been written, that may not be as easily found as a word in a dictionary, and the successive publications regarding it as readily come at as the different significations of a word. "The use and advantages of this wonderful work," says Dr. Dibdin, "are manifest and indispensable; and it should never fail to be a library companion, in all collections of extent or importance." 12680 WATTS' (W.)
