This amusing miscellany of secret history and snp- 
pressed papers caused considerable excitement at the 
time of its first publication, and run through several 
editions in a few weeks. It will always he interesting. 
DIBDIN'S BIBLIOMANIA, OR BOOK- 
MADNESS, a Bibliograplucal Romance, new 
edition, with considerable additions, including a 
Key to the assumed Characters in the Drama, 
and a Supplement, 2 vols, royal 8vo. handsomely 
printed, embellished by numerous wood-cuts, many 
of which are now first added, extra clotli boards,

only very few copies were ])nnted, eitra cloth

This celebrated work, which unites the entertainnieut 
of a romance wiih the most valuable information on all 
bibliographical subjects, has long been very scarce, and 
(Old for considerable sums — the small paper lor £'8. 8s 
and the Large Paper for upwards of 50 guineas!!! 
On the present reprint {undertaken by the late Mr. 
Walmsley) no expense has been spared — the typogra- 
phical execution is tiist-rate — many of the wood-cuts 
have been re-engraved, others have been added, and 
the whole appears to greater advantage, owing to the 
improved style of printing. The author has added a 
Supplement completing it to the present time, and a 
Key to the Characters in the Dialogues, who comprise 
the most eminent book collectors of the time. As only 
a limited number of copies have been printed, fewer in 
fact than of the foimer edition, the work must soon 
again be numbered among rare books. 
"The Bibliomania is evidently formed in the first in- 
stance on the plan of honc^t Isaac Walton's "Complete 
Angler;" with conspicuous marks of the author's being 
deeply versed in the ' Battle •<{ the Book.s,' and a 
familiar acquaintance with old English Litiratnre, and 
occasionally with the digiessions of Yorick. Under 
the shape of dramatic Dialogue, the reader is equally 
entertained and instructed; the abstruser parts, wiih 
the historic del;iils, being thrown into the form of 
notes. It would now be useless to pass an encomium ( 
on this work, as its merits are so fully established as to 
have more than doubled the original price of a volume 
now wilhdillicnlly to be oblained."— Gent.';! Mag.
