Reissued in its 1834 first edition, this catalogue prepared by the bibliophile John Martin (1791–1855) gives a valuable insight into early nineteenth-century bibliographical activity in Britain. Enlivened by an antiquarian's eye for detail, it records works which circulated only among the 'friends and connexions' of those who produced them.
