" Thie work is one of the most stupendous productions of human
industry. It is of the very highest utility, as it is both a complete
catalogue of the works of each author, and a key to all that has
been written on any subject. In the first part of the work the
authors, above 40,000 in number, are arranged in alphabetical
order ; and under each author is given a chronological list of his
works, their various editions, sizes, and prices; and, as far as pos.
sible, a short biographical notice. In the second part. the sub-
jects are arranged alphabetically, and under each subject all the
works treating of it 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, including a complete list of
anonymous publications, In Bibliography, let me not forget the
notice and commendation of that wonderful work, called -
theca Britannica.' Such a concentration of labour was hardly ever
beheld ; but the authors, father and son, both tell victims to their
zeal. The uses and advantages of the Bibliotheca Britannica 'fire
manifest and indispensable; and it should never tail to be a library
companion in all collections olextent and importance."—Dibdin.—
