Flex nib inscription with a jesting message on ffep. Small dents to edges, corners rubbed, light soiling to spine cloth with a vertical crease to the label. Newton (1864-1940) was an industrialist-bibliophile whose anglophilia led him to amass a significant collection of English literature high points. His ability to tell an amusing or poignant anecdote in an affable style led to articles in magazines, collected here. The first was an account of the rare-book trade in London and New York. Subsequent essays are on his passion for association books, James Boswell, Hester Thrale, Charles Lamb, William Dobb, Oscar Wilde, etc. With many facsimiles including manuscript letters and inscriptions from his collection. A classic of bibliophilia. Seller Inventory # 7643
