The Coin Collector

By W. Carew Hazlitt

New and Revised Edition

Illustrated with 12 full-page Plates depicting 129 Rare Pieces

Pub 7s. 6d. net

CONTENTS

Introductory—Collectors and Collections—Value of Coins—Unique or Remarkable Coins—Greek Coins—Rome—Continent of Europe—United Kingdom—The Coin Market—Terminology—Bibliography—Description of Plates—Index.

“Mr Hazlitt is an expert in regard to coins; his book from the practical standpoint is trustworthy.”—Notes and Queries.

“We may say at once that we have a very interesting and instructive volume before us. The subject is, of course, only lightly touched upon, and no attempt at dealing with any section of it in detail is made. This is as it should be in a book on coins in general.”—Antiquary.

“Perhaps as excellent an introduction to the study of a delightful pursuit as could have been written.”—Daily Telegraph.

“Abreast of the latest discoveries and theories, and is sure of a welcome from the general reader as well as from the collector.”—Scotsman.

“This admirable volume gives a bird’s-eye view of the whole. It is clear that Mr Hazlitt is not only an enthusiast in the subject of his book, but also a student whose knowledge is at once singularly wide and remarkably accurate.”—Publishers’ Circular.

Old Violins

By Rev. H. R. Haweis

New Edition

Illustrated by 12 full-page Plates of Violins by Celebrated Makers

Pub 7s. 6d. net

CONTENTS

Prelude—Violin Genesis—Violin Constitution—Violins at Brescia—Violins at Cremona—Violins in Germany—Violins in France—Violins in England—Violin Varnish—Violin Strings—Violin Tarisio—Violins at Mirecourt, Mittenwald, and Markneukirchen—Violin Treatment—Violin Dealers, Collectors, and Amateurs—Postlude—Dictionary of Violin Makers—Bibliography and Description of Plates.

“In matters pertaining to Old Violins he is known as a specialist, and, moreover, one who writes in a pleasant flowing style, which cannot be said of all specialists. His ‘Old Violins’ therefore scarcely needs recommendation. He discourses about Italian, French, and English violins, about varnish, strings, bows, violin dealers, collectors, and amateurs. There are some fine plates, a dictionary of violin makers, and a bibliography. The book is one for reading, and also for reference, and in its lighter pages for recreation.”—Athenæum.

The Book Collector

By W. Carew Hazlitt

A General Survey of the Pursuit, and of those who have engaged in it, from the Earliest Period to the Present Time; with an Account of Public and Private Libraries, and Anecdotes of their Founders or Owners, and Remarks on Bookbinding and on Special Copies of Books, illustrated with a beautiful photogravure of a famous sale of books at Sotheby’s, square cr 8vo, art canvas, gilt top, fore and under edges uncut.

Pub 7s. 6d. net

“As Mr Hazlitt shows, his field of choice is wide enough. Ancient typography fascinates some, but here a long purse is needed. Bibles and Testaments, Liturgies, Books of Hours, or similar devotional works appeal to others. The British Museum Library, for instance, is singularly rich in editions in all languages of the ‘Imitatio Christi.’ Books of travel, of voyages, and on topography, such as county and town histories, have all their devotees, and of late years the search for Alpine literature has become so much keener that some books, printed barely forty years ago, have quite doubled their published price. Yet even the systematic collector, as Mr Hazlitt tells us, often runs risks. Here, as among all things human, fashions and whims exist, and a particular class of literature may have ‘booms’ and ‘slumps,’ like certain ‘stocks’ of a questionable character. The books, for instance, in William Morris’s library were ‘below mediocrity in state,’ and of little intrinsic value, yet they excited keen competition, and went for sums ‘which were simply absurd.’”—Standard.

“The subject abounds with stories, for, indeed, in a sense which the author of the aphorism little imagined, habent sua fata libelli. We might fill columns with curiosities about the buying and selling of books from these pages. Mr Hazlitt, however, is not of the non-literary collectors; no man could write such a book as this about the subject if he were. Readers, therefore, as well as buyers, may find ‘The Book Collector’ to their taste. Then there is the eleventh chapter, with its many interesting anecdotes of inscriptions; often the casual name or note which some purchaser or owner of a bye-gone time has written will be of more interest than the volume itself.”—Spectator.

“There is pleasure nevertheless—nay, much intellectual and sometimes pecuniary profit—in the pursuit, when intelligently pursued. Mr Hazlitt discourses pleasantly on every side of book-collecting, and his book will be valued by all interested in the subject.”—Chambers’ Journal.

“Admirably adapted to fill the position it assumes. It explains in the simplest possible manner the distinctions, not only between the various styles of architecture, but between the different styles of ornamentation; and in every case there is an illustration, which cannot fail to fix in the mind the distinctions of which the author has been talking.”—Scotsman.
