BOOK-AUCTION

RECORDS

The

Where no sizes are given the books are 8vo et infra. Where no binding is stated it is understood to be the original cloth or paper covers, as published. following is a key to the abbreviations :—

When a binding is stated to be, for example, mor. ex., t.e.g., the term t.e.g. -i.e. top edges gilt--implies that the other edges are uncut. When the other edges are cut the fact is stated.

In some exceptional cases-such, for instance, as a first edition of 'Waverley' or of a Keats''Endymion'-when the condition of 'original boards, uncut' exists, and accounts for an abnormal price, the description is given in full, without abbreviation.

In some instances autographs are stated in the sale-catalogues to be on the titles, or elsewhere in the books. When such autographs are not mentioned in B.A.R. it is only because they are of no known persons, and have no bearing whatever on the prices realised.

The right-hand column of each page gives the names of the auctioneers, and the date of the sale, as follows:

S. Dec. 7 therefore represents Sotheby's Dec. 7, 1903, while any month from January to August refers, of course, to the year 1904.

The spelling of B. A. R. is always that of the original titles, and apparent errors are not misprints. The same applies to some accents in foreign languages of which the type does not invariably permit; and, also, to old and erroneous punctuation.
