Thomas Frognall Dibdin 1776-1847 born in Calcutta India English bibliographer who helped to stimulate interest in bibliography by his own enthusiastic though often inaccurate books by his share in founding the first English private publishing society and by his beautifully produced catalog of Lord Spencer’s library which collection later became the nucleus of the John Rylands Library Manchester. His father the captain of a sailing ship was the inspiration for his Uncle Charles Dibdin’s song "Tom Bowling." Both of Dibdin’s parents died on the passage from India to England in 1780 and at age four he became the ward of his mother’s younger brother Charles Compton. Educated at St. John’s College Oxford Dibdin began a legal career but took holy orders in 1805. His Introduction to the knowledge of rare and valuable editions of the Greek and Latin Classics 1802 attracted the notice of Lord Spencer through whose patronage Dibdin obtained a clerical appointment in London. His Bibliotheca Spenceriana 1814–15 became famous for the high quality of its printing. Dibdin traveled widely in search of books and manuscripts and his Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany 1821 is typical of his work in containing much lively anecdote many factual errors and some excellent engravings. His Bibliomania 1809 contributed to the public’s interest in old and rare books. Among his many other works is the two-volume autobiography Reminiscences of a Literary Life 1836. - Britannica W.

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.

The Barlow copy in original boards uncut has an eighteen-page Bohn catalogue an octavo and an additional leaf bound at the end of vol.I. ‘I think it belongs there since it is printed by the same printer as the book on what appears to be the same paper.…The unusual thing … is that it appears to be excerpts from a rare book catalogue selected specifically for this book rather than a publisher’s catalogue.’ Barlow in litt. Freeman’s ‘first copy into boards’ has only pp.17-18 the last single leaf of this catalogue bound in at the end.
