Book Description

Excerpt from Some Aspects of Bibliography The present Address was delivered on vacating the Presidency of the Edinburgh Bibliographical Society, on November 2, 1899. It was after wards revised and condensed in certain parts, and, as an afterthought, the Appendix was added. As stated in the Address itself, the aim I had in view in reading it was to induce members of the Society to execute whatever bibliographical work was at their command. The perusal of it now by others may possibly induce them also to fill up some of the gaps that are all too conspicuous in our bibliography.
