From the introduction: "The following 118 lots come from the stock-in-trade of Sir Tobias Rodgers, who died at the age of 56 earlier this year. Rodgers cut a distinctive figure in the world of rare books. His own laconic remark, that he thought of himself a…s 'more of a boulevardier than a book-seller' belied the seriousness with which he pursued his metier. Some of these books bear the distinctive shelf-mark of the Cullen House Library.
