Excerpt from Catalogue Raisonneee: Works on Bookbinding, Practical and Historical Examples of Bookbindings of the Xvith to Xixth Centuries From the Collection of Samuel Putnam Avery, A. M
In compiling the Catalogue title-pages have been fol lowed closely, and full collations have been given; the measurements indicated are of the covers. An attempt has been made, and it is hoped with some degree of success, to describe the bindings more minutely than has been the cus tom heretofore in this country, with a view to establishing a precedent for more exact work along these lines in the future, so that when the treasures bibliographic and biblio pegic of our American collectors are described hereafter, it may be with a fulness better proportioned to their real value.
