REMARKS. THE HE books described in this Catalogue embrace the second portion of the Library of the late Howard T. Goodwin, of Philadelphia, and fully sustain his reputation of owning many of the rarest books in the English language, bound in the most sumptuous manner. In this portion of the Library are brought together his collection of the First Editions of Lamb, Keats, Shelley, Rossetti, Thackeray, Dickens, Scott, Cowper, Milton, Dr. Johnson, Marryat, Lytton, and other noted authors, many of them being special copies, and all superbly bound, including a few presented by the authors. There are also many unusual volumes of great rarity, with special bindings, embracing selections from The Kelmscott Press, The Vale Press, The Essex House Press, and numerous other privately printed books, as well as quite a number of costly works on the fine arts. The works of standard authors include the leading writers of England and America, mostly limited editions, specially and sumptuously bound to order. The bindings are the work of the leaders of the craft in England, France and America, exhibiting the most beautiful workmanship and the most delicate taste, only obtained by a lavish outlay of money and time. There are also valuable original drawings by Sir Thomas Lawrence, Angelica Kauffmann, Rosa Bonheur, F. O. C. Darley, Hablot K. Browne, and other noted artists; some few choice Autograph Letters and Manuscripts, many fine Etchings, and a fine collection of Water Color Paintings. To The Photo-Chromotype Engraving Company, of Philadelphia, we are indebted for the many beautiful reproductions of the bindings, as well as for the facsimile titles. Catalogue Part III. will follow shortly, and will include an unusual collection of Extra-illustrated Books, as well as many literary rarities.
