Originally published in 1958, and based on The Sandars Lectures for
1957, this volume provides a historical study of the library
belonging to eighteenth-century man of letters Horace Walpole
(1717-1797). The book is divided into three chapters: the first
focuses on the library itself; the second on Walpole's reading; the
third on the dispersal of the library following Walpole's death.
This is a highly informative text, containing numerous illustrative
examples, that will be of value to anyone with an interest in
bibliography and eighteenth-century British history.
