According to the DSB this work is "probably the first significant work of scientific bibliography". The bibliographer A.N.L. Munby commented that " it is one of the earliest, and still one of the best, of the class of work now called a catalogue raisonnee. The notes, based on total familiarity with the subject-matter of each work, are testimony to the extraordinary range of its author's learning." After a lively and informative introduction by De Morgan, the work consists of two parts. The first provides careful descriptions of some 500 books examined by the author, and chronologically arranged with full annotations of each work given, together with details of author, title, size, and place and date of publication.The second part, much briefer, is a list of 1580 reputed writers on arithmetic, arranged to serve also as an index to…

John Whitehead and Son Ltd. Leeds, first edition, 1929. Cloth, black cover-title and armorial device, 8vo,. 50 pp. 255 entries. From the introduction: "The published work of Sir William St John Hope supplies the story of a life devoted to a science which was at once his chosen pursuit and his recreation. Each successive phase of his work as an archaeologist was recorded in a monograph which was a model of logical arrangement and accurate statement; and the long series of these productions, extending over a period of more than forty years, forms a remarkable contribution to archaeological literature. The singularly wide range of his knowledge, accompanied by his zeal for historical truth and for thoroughness and clearness in its presentation, gave him an unique position of authority among his contemporaries. Bookplate of Frank Broomhead on front pastedown endpaper with name and date of a previous owner,signed and dated by Broomhead on front free endpaper, Very Good.
