Books of the first half century of the art of printing in the possession of

One of the great catalogues with 643 entries, including the Gutenberg-Fust bible
and Psalter of Fust and Schoeffer. "The collection is the fruit of assiduous
gathering during twenty years, and although made by a mere bookseller, is one
which many museums might be proud of. It illustrates with sufficient clearness
and fulness the early history of the Art which has been the most powerful agent
in the work of Civilisation. … It would be an occasion for regret, if such a
gathering of books as is described in this catalogue, were to undergo a total
dissolution, and be scattered in single volumes over the earth. The labour of
finding and uniting them, and of bringing them into harmonious relation with
each other, has been toifully accomplished. … The number of books here described
is over six hundred; the total aggregate prices is £ 32,500. If the collection
is bought en block, I would sell it at a reduced price to be agreed upon. …
Bernard Quaritch. London, November, 1897" (preface).
