These records are necessarily exact reproductions, abbreviated, of the auctioneers' catalogue-descriptions, and the editor disclaims responsibility for grammatical or other errors which may appear therein, unless such errors are obviously typographical misprints in the originals. Where no sizes are given the books are 8vo. et infra. Where no binding is stated it is understood to be the original cloth or paper covers, as published. The following is a key to the abbreviations: In some instances autographs are stated in the sale-catalogues to be on the titles or elsewhere in the books; when such autographs are not mentioned in B. A. R. it is only because they are of no known persons, and have no bearing whatever on the prices realized. The names of the auctioneers, with the date of sale and number of the lot, are given within brackets, immediately before the price, thus:-(S. Dec. 16; 516). This would represent Sotheby's, December 16, 1926, lot 516, while any month from January to August refers to the year 1927. The auctioneers represented are: B-Bennett, Dublin C.-Christie, Manson & Woods D-Dowell, Edinburgh E.-Edmiston, Glasgow H.-Hodgson Co. Magazines are sold "with all faults." Lots containing two or more works are not recorded except in very rare instances, when the value of one work overshadows the others, and the lot is bought for it alone. Composite lots mostly afford no criterion whatever of values. Where no author's initials are given it is because they do not appear in the sale-catalogues and are unknown to the editor. The names of binders, when of importance, are quoted in B.A. R. When the names of buyers are not given it is solely because, in those cases, they are not obtainable from the auctioneers. The spelling in B.A. R. is always that of the original titles, as printed in the Auctioneers' Catalogues, and apparent errors are not misprints. The same applies to some accents in foreign languages of which our type does not always permit, and also, to old and erroneous punctuation. A BREY PRESS. Job.
