Item description from seller

Published by the University Press of Cambridge, London, UK. 1900. 8vo. First edition. Vol I: 1900. xviii, 632pp. Caxton to F. Kingston; Vol II: 1902. xviii, 633-1312pp. E. Mattes to R.

From the Barnes and Noble website: "An erudite and popular librarian, Charles Edward Sayle (1864-1924) devoted his career to cataloguing and editing rare books in the University of Cambridge. His obituary praised him as 'a fine example of the type of man who likes to catalogue things in the right order.' This catalogue of incunabula and early printed books in the University Library was his most important project, taking over a decade to complete. Commissioned by the Library Syndicate in 1894, the catalogue was published in four volumes between 1900 and 1907. Even upon complete, Sayle's list was not final, as the rare book collections at the Library were undergoing a period of great expansion, having grown by a third during his cataloguing work." Brown cloth covered boards with blind-stamped borders around edges of front panels; gilt-stamped lettering and graphics on spine. Ex-lib markings on spines, bookplates on front paste-downs, embosses stamp of "Wilmington Institute Free Library" on all title pages. Very good books. Some chips along edges at head and tail of board spines. External page edges are age-toned as are margins of text pages, else internally clean and with sound text blocks. Please use close-up options for best inspection and in support of condition description. Additional photos available at your request.…
