Synopsis
A Bibliographical And Critical Account Of The Rarest Books In The Englsh Language, compiled by J. Payne Collier, is a comprehensive four-volume reference work on early English literature. The text assembles an extensive alphabetic catalog of rare and significant English books, with prefatory remarks by Collier and detailed bibliographical notes on authors, editions, printers, and provenance. It intertwines descriptive bibliography with critical commentary, highlighting scarce works, variant texts, and the histories of publication. The work also incorporates bibliographical investigations, corrections, and additions drawn from Collier’s lifelong bibliographic research, including material derived from libraries such as the British Museum and Bodleian Library, private collectors, and the Bridgewater Catalogue. The 1865 Preface (dated Maidenhead, April 14, 1865) signals Collier’s long, passionate engagement with early English literature, his method of collecting, and his editorial rigor. This edition reflects the scholarly rigor and breadth that have made Collier’s project a cornerstone of bibliographic scholarship on early English print culture, with emphasis on rarity, textual history, and literary context.
