A Catalogue of Books in English Later than 1700, Vol. 3 Forming a portion of the library of Robert Hoe

Step into a treasure trove of literary history with this meticulously compiled catalogue of English works printed after 1700. Drawing from the private collection of a 19th‑century bibliophile, the volume lists each title exactly as it appears on the original title pages, preserving original spelling, punctuation, and even unusual spacing. The entries range from illuminated medieval manuscripts to finely bound nineteenth‑century novels, offering a snapshot of the book‑making art across three centuries.

Readers will discover notable items such as Bernard Quaritch’s scholarly treatise on medieval illumination, a rare Japanese vellum edition of an 18th‑century anthology, and several privately printed works presented in sumptuous morocco bindings. Each description includes bibliographic details—format, binding, printing notes—that reveal the care collectors once poured into preserving these volumes. Though it is a reference work, the catalogue reads like a guided tour through a historic library, inviting listeners to imagine the stories hidden within each listed volume.
