Excerpt from A Bibliography of Unfinished Books in the English Language We might dismiss from all recent Bibliographies any attempt on the part of the Compilers to record entries of books which are only remarkable for their rarity. This has become the work of old-fashioned Bibliographers, and we are not concerned with such, neither do we think select Bibliographies of much purpose, giving as they do only the chiefest of the chief books. To cover the whole ground of the subject is to make a useful compilation and a permanent and valuable contribution to a National Bibliography, and an honest endeavour to reduce the book matter of the World to some kind of systematic order.
