WILSON (L.) Catalogue of Bibles, Testaments, Psalms, and
other Books of the Holy Scriptures in English in the Collection
of Lea Wilson. +to. London. 1845.
Of this valuable catalogue very few copies were printed, all for presents. Arch
deacon Cotton, who refers to this work in almost every page of his list of the various '
editions of the Holy Scriptures, says, "I have much pleasure in testifying to the great
accuracy and minuteness of the collations and descriptions in this most valuable catalogue.
Those of the earlier and more rare editions are given with a fullness and
distinctness which leaves nothing to desire. I could not insert all those particulars
into a slight work like the present list; but confidently refer those persons who desire
more detailed notice of any remarkable edition to this curious and yaluable catalogue
of Mr. Wilaoa."
