“Bibliography is a dry occupation,—a caput mortuum,—it is a borrowed production, which brings very little grist to the mill; and so difficult and tedious is the object, of laying before our eyes all the real or reported copies or editions of the works enumerated, that almost every line of our reports may be suspected of falsehood.”—James Atkinson, Medical Bibliography, 1834, 8o [he stopped with letter B].
It is probable that every great national library contains more works without authors’ names than with them. Of these anonymous books, a considerable proportion will, doubtless, belong to authors whose names are either known to, or conjectured, more or less plausibly, by the learned bibliographer. But if conjecture be allowed to govern the place of a book in a catalogue, all reliability on it ceases.—Edward Edwards, in the Encyclopædia Britannica, eighth edition, 1857, Art. Libraries, p. 378.

As catalogued by Lowndes in the “British Librarian,” p. 782, this little work well illustrates some of my previous observations. Lowndes gives part of the title, and afterwards puts a note in the words of the rest of the title. His date is later than mine, but he does not say it is a new edition. The following is a copy of Lowndes’ entry:—“629.
