Note 50 — PART I. AMERICANA IN LIBRARIES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES.
Reading edition
The Humboldt Library was burned in London in June, 1865. Nearly all of the catalogues were destroyed at the same time; but a few large paper copies were saved, which, being perfected with a new title (London, 1878), have since been offered by Stevens for sale. Portions of the introduction to it are also used in an article by Stevens on Humboldt, in the Journal of Sciences and Arts January, 1870. Various of Humboldt’s manuscripts on American matters are advertised in Stargardt’s Amerika und Orient, no. 135, p. 3 (Berlin, 1881).
