Dibdin's Bibliographical Antiquarian tours, made shortly after the end of the long-running wars with France, along with everyone else and his dog who could afford it, apparently. Dibdin's tour, however, is unique in being one made with the chief purpose of admiring fine libraries across the continent, though of course architecture and local manners are considered as well. Dibdin is best-known as the founder of the Roxburghe Club, convened initially to mark the sale of the Duke of Roxburghe's famous library in June 1812, and then re-formed each year on its anniversary. It became the very first Book Club, and remains the most exclusive in the world, with no more than 40 active members at any one time.

4 volumes in-8 de XXIV, 344 pp. - (2) ff., 374 pp., (1) f. d'errata - VIII, 383 pp., (1) f. de table - (2) ff., 446 pp., demi-maroquin rouge à coins, dos à nerfs très finement orné et doré, têtes dorées, non rognés (Capé). Edition originale française. L'illustration comprend un portrait-frontispice, une planche dépliante et plusieurs vignettes gravées sur bois dans le texte. Récit sous forme de lettres d'un voyage du bibliographe Dibdin en 1818 à Dieppe, Caen, Rouen, Paris et Strasbourg avec description des curiosités archéologiques et des bibliothèques publiques. Dibdin visita les imprimeurs et les libraires, Brunet Debure, Renouard, etc., acheta quelques ouvrages et invita à dîner, avant de quitter Paris, Van Praet, Langlès, Vivant-Denon et Millin. On a reproché à Dibdin un esprit par trop caustique, outre le fait qu'il se met souvent en scène avec une vanité naïve. Les traducteurs français, Crapelet et Licquet, épinglent ses bévues sans ménagement sans toutefois saisir le sel de ses prétentions à l'humour. Les rédacteurs du DNB sont tout aussi sévères. Il fallait attendre le petit ouvrage de O'Dwyer (Thomas Frognall Dibdin, Londres, 1967), pour rendre justice à l'enthousiasme et aux savantes délices du bibliophile anglais. Un des quelques exemplaires sur grand papier parfaitement relié en maroquin de l'époque par Capé. Des bibliothèques Léon Rattier et Georges Lainé avec ex-libris.
