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