A BEAUTIFULLY printed and luxuriously got-up book of
special value to the Dickens collector. In three separate
divisions, the text includes primarily a reprint of the catalogue
of the Dickens sale, at which it may be remembered almost fabu
lous sums were realised. Mr. Francis Phillimore contributes a
gossipy and interesting introduction, and Mr. John F. Dexter
a lengthy, learned, and exhaustive paper on book rarities, sub
titled “ Hints to Dickens Collectors.”
Bewick Memento {with an Introduction by
Robert Robinson). Catalogue, with purchasers’ names and pricM
realised, of the scarce and curious collection of silver plate, prints,
pictures, wood blocks, copperplates, and Bewick relics, &c., dispersed
at Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1884. Illustrated. LONDON: Field &
Tuer, The Leadenhall Press, E.C.
A BEAUTIFULLY printed and luxuriously got-up book of
special value to the Bewick collector. Mr. Robert Robin
son, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, who contributes the introduction,
has been connected during the greater part of a long lifetime
with the Bewick family, and he writes with a full knowledge of
his subject. Of the eighteen beautiful illustrations, printed
on separate leaves, twelve embellished the original catalogue,
but the six additional at the end, including the humorously
treated frontispiece of “ Cows Angling”—all charming specimens
of Bewick’s skill with the graver—are first impressions from
blocks hitherto not printed from.
