Excerpt from A Guide to the Study of Book-Plates (Ex-Libris)Street, as two intelligent and industrious collectors, the fruits of whose labours are now incorporated in my own series. To Richard Garnett, Esq, and to W. Y. F letcher, Esq, I owe the discovery of some highly interesting ex libris in the National Library. I thank J. Martin, Esq, of the Inner Temple, for permitting me to take notes of his instructive collection, and J. Pearson, Esq., for supplying several of my illustrations and also contributing to my dated series.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
