Reading edition
To those who do not read French or do not possess Les Elzevier, Mr. Goldsmid's The Elzevir Presses, published as part of his Bibliotheca Curiosa, may be of some assistance. It is a species of compendium of the work of M. Willems, and was issued in 1889. It is somewhat faulty and incomplete; but not without its value to beginners in the study of the Elzevir press.
