Philobiblon: A Treatise on the Love of Books (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Philobiblon: A Treatise on the Love of Books
It is of course impossible for one who attempts to edit a work of this kind in our country, possessing no great libraries or repositories of manuscripts to be con sulted, to correct any errors of the text by comparison. Conj ectural emendations are generally so unsatisfactory, except when suggested by editors of far more genius and scholarship than belongs to me, that I have entirely refrained from inflicting them upon the reader. I have therefore contented myself with placing in this edition the text most recently revised and collated.
