An Alphabetical List of Books Contained in Bohn's Libraries (1892)

This compact volume serves as an alphabetical guide to the vast collection once housed in the Bohn publishing houses. Arranged by author and title, it lists everything from classical Greek dramas and philosophical treatises to contemporary travelogues and scientific manuals, each entry noting the editor, translator, and price of the edition. The layout mirrors the practical style of late‑Victorian reference works, making it easy to locate a specific volume at a glance.

Readers will discover familiar names—Aristotle, Bacon, and Andersen—side by side with more obscure titles such as Agassiz and Gould’s comparative physiology or Beckmann’s history of inventions. Illustrations are highlighted, with many entries mentioning woodcuts, steel engravings, or colored maps that once accompanied the books. For collectors, scholars, or anyone curious about the breadth of 19th‑century publishing, this list offers a snapshot of the era’s literary and scholarly appetite.
