This 1902 volume contains biographical essays on a number of notable English bibliophiles, including Sir Thomas Smith (1513-1577), John Lord Lumley (1533-1609), Frederic North—Earl of Guilford (1766-1827), and William Morris (1834-1896), among other men—ranging from bishops to astrologers and poets. It was called “the best attempt at a history of English books collectors that has yet been compiled.”
