Excerpt from Bibliography of the Works of Dr. John Donne, Dean of St. Paul'sNo complete bibliography of Donne's works has previously been undertaken, and I feel confident that this book will be found of use by students of Donne's writings and by collectors of the original editions. I hope it may also be of value to all those who take more than a casual interest in Donne, and to bibliographers in general.The material that I have used has been drawn mainly from the following sources: the chief public libraries in England and Scotland; the college libraries in Cambridge and Oxford; some of the cathedral libraries; and the private collections of members of the Baskerville Club. In the case of some rare books I have also recorded copies in other private collections in England and America, and a few from sale catalogues. I have myself seen almost all the copies recorded as having been found in London, Cambridge, and Oxford.The two books, which have been of greater assistance to me than any others, are Mr Edmund Gosse's Life and Letters of 7ohn Donne and Professor Grierson's edition of Donne's poems; I am also indebted to these authors for encouragement and help.I wish to record here my gratitude to all those Librarians whose courtesy has rendered available to me so much of the material upon which this bibliography is founded; also to Miss Henrietta C. Bartlett of New York for her kindness in examining on my behalf those editions of Donne's works which are in the libraries of Mr Beverly Chew and Mr W. A. White.The proof sheets have been read by Mr Francis Jenkinson, Mr Charles Sayle, Mr A. T. Bartholomew, Mr Cosmo Gordon, and Mr H. G. Aldis, and I am deeply grateful to these gentlemen for the numerous and useful suggestions which they have made. I am indebted to Miss E. M. Spearing for some important corrections in the section dealing with the Sermons.The system of bibliographical description that I have used is, I hope, clear enough to need no explanation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
