BIBLIOGRAPHICAL CATALOGUE 



OF ALL THE 



BOOKS WRITTEN EITHER FOR THE IMPROVEMENT IN,

Commencing with the Treatise attributed (though perhaps 

 erroneously) to Juliana Barnes, or Berners, published in 1496, 

 and continued to the last work which has appeared on the Sub- 

 ject, with notices of the various Editions and Peculiarities of 

 each ; and brief Biographical Sketches of Authors and Edi- 

 tors ; together with copious extracts, comprising the most in- 

 teresting portions of the rarest and most valuable works. 



A limited number of Copies on IMPERIAL OCTAVO, will 

 be printed, to be delivered to Subscribers elegantly half bound 

 in morocco. 



Several Gentlemen, distinguished as Anglers and Col- 

 lectors of Books on the subject, having suggested the propriety 

 of prefixing a List of Subscribers, which is already of con- 

 siderable extent, to this work, the Publisher has acceded to 

 this proposition, and respectfully requests, that those Gentle- 

 men who may be desirous of obtaining copies, will forward 

 their names and abode to J. H. BURN, Maiden Lane, Covent 

 Garden ; to whom it is also requested that all Communications, 

 &c. respecting the work may be addressed.
