Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Half-moroco and boards, marbled endpapers, all edges marbled, 8vo, 28 cm, xi, 2550 pp. "Thoroughly revised and brought up to 1901" and including several thousand new articles. From the preface : "The plan of the present work differs in several important respects from that of any other biographical dictionary which has yet been offered to the public.

In order to accomplish these objects, and at the same time confine the work within reasonable limits, great attention has been given to the condensation as well as to the proper selection of the different articles. That the work, moreover, may combine, as far as practicable, completeness with brevity, to the more important notices have been added ample bibliographical references,*indicating to the reader the sources whence he can obtain the füllest information respecting any person in whom he may chance to feel a particular interest. Among the peculiar features of the present work, that of the pronunciation of the names may justìy claim the first place, both on account of its intrinsic importance, and because (so far as we are aware) this is the first time that anything of the kind has ever been attempted in any work on general biography." Bookplate on front pastedown endpaper of Sir William G. Pearce, tear (1.5 cm) to head of spine, covers rubbed and worn at extremities.…
