ISBN 9781578987351. $250.00 $187.50 Reprint of the 1924 first edition which was published in Tokyo by the Oriental Library (Besterman 1329). The Morrison Library was the crystallization of many years efforts attributed to G. E. Morrison, adviser to the President of China, and former Peking correspondent of The Times, London, who collected almost all available books and records with particular reference to China and its adjacent countries up to 1917. Included are books dealing with Central Asia and Siberia, with Japan, Siam, Indo-China and the Straits and a few on the Philippines. The volumes are organized by language, part one containing books in English and part two books in other languages. Within each volume the organization is alphabetical. Besterman cites 20,000 printed items for this catalogue. [Order No. 102413] 112. (Virgil) Kallendorf, Craig. A CATALOGUE OF THE JU- NIUS SPENCER MORGAN COLLECTION OF VIRGIL IN THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY. New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press, 2009, 8.5 x 11 inches, hardcover, dust jacket. 544 pages. ISBN 9781584562634. $95.00 $71.25 The Junius Spencer Morgan collection at Princeton University consists of over 700 titles (totaling around 900 volumes) of editions of the Roman poet Virgil (70-19 BC), in Latin and in various vernacular languages. Technically the collection includes items ranging from the first printed edition (Rome, 1469) to the present, but the focus is strongly on material published in the early modern period. Given Virgil's central place in western education during the early centuries of printing, the catalogue of the Morgan collection should be of interest to art historians, cultural historians, and historians of education as well as classicists and specialists in printing history and the history of the book. This handsomely-produced volume includes close to fifty full-page color illustrations from the collection. [Order No. 100481] 113.

115. (Caxton Club) Piehl, Frank. THE CAXTON CLUB 1895-1995, CELEBRATING A CENTURY OF THE BOOK IN CHICAGO. Chicago: The Caxton Club, 1995, 8vo., gray cloth over boards with white stamping and paper label with slipcase. 224 pages. ISBN 0940550091. $75.00 $56.25 Caxton Club historian, Frank J. Piehl, offers a taste of the artistic, intellectual and literary atmosphere of Chicago from which the Caxton Club merged. According to Piehl, early bibliophiles concerned themselves not only with a book's contents, but also with the physical aspects of a book. In its 100 years, the Club has published 60 books that are distinguished by their content and design. Nineteen are important historical works, sixteen describe the history of printing and bookbindings, seven relate to bibliophiles and book collecting, and the remaining eighteen comprise a miscellany of poetry, literary works, plays, an opera and other items. Anyone who is interested in the history of book collecting, printing and bookbinding will enjoy this work. Designed by Bruce Beck and printed by R.R. Donnelley & Sons, the Caxton Club publishes this history of the Club that includes an up-to-date bibliography of the Club's publications, as well as biographies of Caxtonians who have contributed prominently to the advancement of the book and the club. Limited to 1,000 numbered and signed copies of which 900 are offered for sale. [Order No. 41478] 116. Garvey, Nathan. THE CELEBRATED GEORGE BARRINGTON: A SPURIOUS AUTHOR; THE BOOK TRADE, AND BOTANY BAY. Sydney: Hordern House, 2008, 9.5" x 6.5", hardcover. 327 pages. ISBN 9781875567546. $49.95 $37.46 First edition. This book traces the genesis of the Barrington books in rich and evocative detail, offering a compelling account of publishing history in England and on the continent, and displaying the subtle machinations of the book trade in a world without copyright laws. Throughout, The Celebrated George Barrington combines the rigour of book history and bibliographical research with a fresh and engaging style. Of special interest is Garvey's authoritative bibliography of the Barrington books, with extensive notes and detailed collation details, destined to become a standard reference for librarians, scholars and booksellers. With more than eighty separate works noticed, this is the first comprehensive account of the Barrington books and the first to chart the publishing history of the works about and attributed to George Barrington, which have long remained a source of confusion for students of early Australian history. Elegantly printed in two colours, the work includes some twenty-six illustrations, all taken from the early Barrington books. Distributed for Hordern House, Australia. Available in Australia from the publisher. [Order No. 100796] 117. Shaaber, M.A. CHECK-LIST OF WORKS OF BRITISH AUTHORS PRINTED ABROAD, IN LANGUAGES OTHER THAN ENGLISH, TO 1641. New York: The Bibliographical Society of America, 1975, small 4to., cloth. xx, 168 pages. $15.00 $11.25 First edition. According to the Preface, during the first 200 years of printing, many works of British authors were printed abroad as well as in the British Isles. However, it may be lesser known that many works of British writers were printed abroad without being printed in the British Isles. Shaaber thus explains this book as a compilation which describes the many editions of continental printings of works that have survived in only a few copies in scattered libraries. This work is an appropriate complement to such volumes as the Short-Title Catalogue and should facilitate various kinds of study of British culture up to the middle of the 17th century. [Order No. 20582] 118. McDonald, Gerald, Stuart C. Sherman And. A CHECKLIST OF AMERICAN NEWSPAPER CARRIERS' ADDRESSES, 1720-1820. Worcester: American Antiquarian Society, 2000, 8vo., cloth, dust jacket. xvi, 170 pages. ISBN 0944026168. $35.00 $26.25 First edition. The newspaper carrier's address, a printed holiday greeting, was a unique early American poetic form. Each New Year's Day, newspaper carriers around America and Canada distributed printed verses to their customers in hope of a hefty tip. Often highly amusing and occasionally quite socially aware, these broadsides eulogized the dutiful carrier of the year gone by. For the first time, these addresses have been compiled in bibliographic form. Some of America's most prominent men of letters, such as Benjamin Franklin and Daniel Webster, supplied the poetic addresses. 940 American and 61 Canadian addresses are indexed.
