Without the oft-missing "Presentation in the Temple" plate in vol. I. This is the only edition of one of Dibdin's most famous books there were 50 on large paper and certainly one of the best printed. Dibdin destroyed the plates for the book at a meeting of the Roxburgh Club. "This work forms one of the monuments of typographical bibliography. As in the style of its production it is the most sumptuous so in the nature of its contents it may be said to be one of the most interesting books relative to ancient and modern printing" Bigmore & Wyman. "The work is written in the same dialogue manner as the Bibliomania with the same interlocutors and may be properly described as a continuation of it. It is perhaps the most lavish of all Dibdin's works" Jackson. Hart 186: "A bibliographer's classic that marks the beginning of the general recognition of bibliomania as a plaything for wealthy."

1832rif. 20035London: Wm. Davy for Henry Bohn 1832. First edition 8vo pp. 102; without the errata slip at B1; half red morocco a little rubbed and spine darkened else good and sound or better. Windle & Pippin A60; Jackson 82: "Mercurius Rusticus and Cato Parvus were pseudonyms used by Dibdin in the Bibliomania. Owing to the agitation regarding Reform and perhaps also because of cholera epidemics the rare book market appeared to Dibdin to be very low indeed. His diatribe was touched off by the absurdly inadequate prices that the original manuscripts of the Waverley Novels fetched at Evans' sale 19 August 1831. Dibdin's natural optimism made him prophesy that the depression in books would not last long . One hundred copies of this book printed on large paper were also issued. [Wm. Davy for] Henry Bohn unknown

III restored a number of the plates foxed largely confined to the margins; a good sound set. This copy enhanced with a presentation in each volume to "B. C. Brodie Esq. from the author." With the bookplates of B. C. Brodie and B. H. Goldschmidt in each volume. Benjamin Collins Brodie was author of the classic Pathological and Surgical Observations on the Diseases of the Joints G-M 4311. "The collation is very irregular by reason of the fact that all illustrations in the text being printed on India paper pasted-in are on separately inserted leaves . This Voyage Pittoresque is lavishly illustrated mainly with copperplates after drawings by G.R. Lewis and others. Dibdin says he spent over 7000 pounds on the book being the first patron to pay 100 guineas for a plate . It has been unkindly said of this book that it would have been better without any text. However it does contain a modicum of bibliographical information that is still useful if used with due caution" Jackson. Lowndes notes that it "contains much useful and curious information" on the libraries and private collections of Europe. The second edition of 1829 is abridged and omits all but 5 of the original plates. Windle & Pippin note but a single presentation copy that from Dibdin to his son.
