however, Mr.. Quaritch was really not
a bookseller. He did not deal in cur.
rent publications, and his great repu.

his sales, but TO the limited number OF
them and to high prices. His czer-
tions were devoted chiefly to supplying
libraries and few private collectors
with photographed curiosities. He
dealt in missals, early Bibles, inum-
mated books, manuscripts, and similar
:arities, wherever they might De found
or in whatever language they were
