This valuable work is too often regarded merely as a book for printers, whereas it contains more information respecting early printed books than is to be found in any other and more costly volumes. Its real compiler was Mr. Richard Thomson, Librarian of the London Institution, who was assisted by Dibdin, Wilkins, Baber, and other well known bibliographers. It was issued in three different sizes, the largest being known as the Roxburghe Edition with Portraits on India paper.
