“Mr. W. C. Hazlitt’s second series of Bibliographical Collections and Notes (Quaritch) is the result of many years’ searches among rare books, tracts, ballads, and broadsides by a man whose specialty is bibliography, and who has thus produced a volume of high value. If any one will read through the fifty-four closely printed columns relating to Charles I., or the ten and a half columns given to ‘London’ from 1541 to 1794, and recollect that these are only a supplement to twelve columns in Hazlitt’s Handbook and five and a half in his first Collections, he will get an idea of the work involved in this book. Other like entries are ‘James I.,’ ‘Ireland,’ ‘France,’ ‘England,’ ‘Elizabeth,’ ‘Scotland’ (which has twenty-one and a half columns), and so on. As to the curiosity and rarity of the works that Mr. Hazlitt has catalogued, any one who has been for even twenty or thirty years among old books will acknowledge that the strangers to him are far more numerous than the acquaintances and friends. This second series of Collections will add to Mr. Hazlitt’s well-earned reputation as a bibliographer, and should be in every real library through the English-speaking world. The only thing we desiderate in it is more of his welcome marks and names, B. M., Britwell, Lambeth, &c., to show where all the books approaching rarity are. The service that these have done in Mr. Hazlitt’s former books to editors for the Early-English Text, New Shakspere, Spenser, Hunterian, and other societies, has been so great that we hope he will always say where he has seen the rare books that he makes entries of.”—Academy, August 26, 1882.
