A Catalogue of Books in English Later than 1700, Vol. 1 Forming a portion of the library of Robert Hoe

A meticulously compiled reference, this catalogue records English titles published after 1700 as they appeared in the private collection of a 19th‑century bibliophile. Each entry preserves the original spelling and punctuation from the title pages, offering scholars a rare glimpse of contemporary bibliographic practice. The work was privately printed in New York in 1905, with only a hundred copies produced, three of which were bound in Japanese vellum, underscoring its exclusivity.

The listings span a wide range of subjects—from scientific tracts and legal statutes to illustrated histories and poetry—along with detailed physical descriptions such as paper size, binding material, and decorative features. Readers will encounter examples like a multi‑volume comic history illustrated by John Leech and a richly bound memoir of Luís de Camões, each noted with precise impressions of plates, engravings, and binding colours. For anyone interested in the history of the book trade, collecting, or the literary landscape of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, this catalogue serves as a valuable, authentic snapshot of a bygone library.
