Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Blades, con espíritu curioso, rastrea con mentalidad científica las amenazas constantes, sus causas y consecuencias, a las que están sometidas nuestras preciosas y preciadas bibliotecas, públicas y privadas. Por lo demás, no falta el momento para la anécdota chusca y el sentido del humor al narrar decenas de historias sobre la pérdida y destrucción de libros. Especialista en la vida y la obra de William Caxton, el primer impresor de Inglaterra, Blades recorre bibliotecas en busca de singulares volúmenes, y rastrea la pista de libros raros y joyas bibliográficas, olvidados en algún desván, malvendidos a un librero analfabeto, o medio destruidos por el capricho o el descuido de sus dueños. Su bibliomanía, su pasión por los libros antiguos, valiosos y bellos, lejos de responder a un interés personal, estuvo siempre al servicio de la sociedad: Blades tuvo, quizá por británico, un alta conciencia de lo público, es decir, de que su labor era en beneficio de la comunidad, y que el rescate de esas joyas bibliográficas no tenía mejor fin que el de engrosar y proteger el patrimonio cultural de la sociedad en la que vivía. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Campbell was Librarian of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek, and Chief Director of the Museum Meermanno-Westreenianum. 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Neatly and closely written. In good condition, lightly aged. The recipient ('Cher Monsieur') is not named, but the context of the letter identifies him the London publisher and bookseller Basil Montagu Pickering, who in 1874 published 'Calcoen, A Dutch narrative of the Second Voyage of Vasco da Gama to Calicut, Printed at Antwerp circa 1504', edited by Jean Philibert Berjeau (1809-1891). The letter proper, in French, is about one and two-thirds of a page long; it is followed by a 'List of bibliographical publications issued in the Netherlands during the year 1875', in English, of about two and one-third pages long. Campbell finds the 'travaux bibliographiques' which have appeared in the Netherlands during the year 'ni nombreux ni bien interessants'. He has not yet seen Berjeau's book, but has asked his librarian to procure a copy. He proceeds to explain that he is providing a list of bibliographical works worthy of inclusion in Pickering's 'Bibliographical Annual'. He also intends to send him a proof of a piece he has had published in 'Le Bibliophile Belge', describing 'un Caxton inconnnu, pourtant unique, que j'ai découvert dans la bibliothèque universaire de Gand. Un Caxton inconnu, dissais-je, et à telles enseignes que Mr. W: Blades m'a écrit que ma lettre (dans laquelle je lui avais fait part de ma trouvaille) avait été une révélation pour lui. Voilà ce qui pourra interesser votre public'. Each entry in the 'List of bibliographical publications' is well annotated by Campbell, as for example the one to the first entry 'M. Nyhoff. Bibliographische adversaria, nos. 6, 7, 8, 9 of vol II': 'This periodical, in small 8vo, contains articles on bibliographical subjects and every number is filled up with lists of books for sale at Mr. Nyhoffs'.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original half cream cloth covers, gilt title and author lettering to the spine and to the front cover, deep burgundy cloth sides, top edge gilt, uncut fore and lower page edges. Elephant folio. 16½'' x 12¼''. In 1840 William Blades was apprenticed to his father's printing business in London, being subsequently taken into partnership. The firm was afterwards known as Blades, East & Blades. His interest in printing led him to make a study of the volumes produced by Caxton's press, and of the early history of printing in England. On his death, his library was acquired by the St Bride Foundation as the initial collection of the library. The architect of the St Bride Foundation building, Robert Cunningham Murray, created a room to house the collection that was a near replica of Blade's original library.
