United States. Library of Congress. Catalog of the Gardiner Greene Hubbard collection of engravings; presented to the Library of Congress by Mrs. Gardiner Greene Hubbard. Lib. of Congress.
“The plan of the compilation was very generous, and included the catalogue proper of engravers, and index of engravers under a chronological scheme, by centuries, an index of artists, a portrait index, and a list of authorities.... The collection was presented to the nation in 1898 by Mrs. Hubbard, and in default of a national art gallery the Library of Congress was the most fitting place of deposit.... The editor of the volume is Arthur Jeffrey Parsons, who is in charge of the collection.”—Nation.
“The catalogue is clearly arranged and carefully written.”

“No similar catalogue exists of an American collection of engravings; it will, therefore, prove a convenient book of reference for collectors.”
