Thomas Frognall Dibdin (1776–1847) was employed as librarian for life by the bibliophile aristocrat George Spencer (1758–1834), who amassed at Althorp the greatest private library in Europe. Published in 1822, these two volumes include additions to Bibliotheca Spenceriana (also reissued in this series) and detailed descriptions of the interiors of Althorp.
