Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Aedes Althorpianae, or an Account of the Mansion, Books, and Pictures of Althorp, the Residence of George John Earl Spencer, K. G: To Which Is Added a Supplement to the Bibliotheca SpencerianaThe Account of the Mansmn is comparatively brief. Unpretending as that Mansion is, in an archi tectural point of View, and situated in a domain not remarkable for picturesque beauty, I have been anx ious - notwithstanding the eulogies bestowed upon it by ancient travellers - to introduce the visitor to its interior attractions, and especially to its library; which, as a private Collection, may be considered unrivalled. But it is in fact the number, condi tion, magnificence, and value, of the books them selves, which have somewhat distracted me in the choice to be presented to the Reader. Accord ingly, while I have made a systematic Catalogue of that portion only which relates to impressions of the sacred text, I have, in the selection of other branches, given only what may be called a bird's eye view of the treasures contained in them Hence, the well-informed may draw a pretty correct conclusion of the value of a complete catalogue of the spencer library executed in a similar manner.The Volumes, exclusively belonging to the Li' brary of DE thou - instead of occupying a distinct space-have been, for the greater part, embodied in the respective classes to which they belong.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
