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.

This set with the additional set of etchings on india paper by George Lewis of a classic work of the utmost importance for its wealth of eye-witness information and anecdotes about printed books manuscripts buildings other artefacts and people both from past centuries and from the author's own day for the extraordinary collection of illustrations mostly drawn during the tour itself and finally as a sumptuous piece of book production. As soon as the book appeared leading scholars derided Dibdin for his lack of scholarship especially concerning early manuscripts and printed books. But one must distinguish between the extensive and extremely useful information about things and people Dibdin saw during his 1818 tour and his own interpretations and conclusions which now serve only as a window to the attitudes of the time. Dibdin's enthusiasm readable style and entertaining anecdotes moreover caught the mood of his age making the book extremely popular and influential. Lewis' A Series of Groups. was intended to accompany Dibdin's Tour but was rejected by Dibdin as unworthy of his book. Lewis most perturbed issued them at his own expense and presented his case in the eight-page Advertisement which was separately printed. Jackson 48; 56; 56n: Windle & Pippin A38a; A44; D13.

Dibdin's 'most readable book' according to Lister and Southey had welcomed the first edition as "one of the most beautiful and covetable books of modern times". It charts in wonderful detail his six and a -half months tour buying -or where unavailable admiring - book treasures in France and Germany. Dibdin is at his most exuberant - abroad for the first time in his life - and recounting his adventures with great spirit and a degree of self-congratulation : his complicated exhange negotiations which secured for Earl Spencer the 'Stuttgart Virgils' from le Brett the Royal Librarian and the King of Wurtemburg were described in a letter to Spencer as 'one of the most difficult cautiously and delicately-conducted negotiations in the annals of bibliographical diplomacy'.and Dibdin does not stint the reader in his account. Of this second edition he wrote in his Reminiscences: "A second edition - not divested of ornaments but contrariwise possessing some which do not appertain to its precursor. possessing in the running notes critical replies and biographical memoranda advantages which in these respects give it a superiority over the first."-Dibdin's Reminiscences v. 2 p. 696.

He is listed as a subscriber to Dibdin's Sermons 1825 and was described by Isaac N. Arnold as "an amateur artist of considerable merit a fine scholar and a very agreeable gentleman". Walter Sidney Scott 1900-1980 an author was the owner of an impressive Dibdin collection and spent considerable time working on a bibliographical catalogue of Dibdin's works "A Dibdin Library" 1962 which was never published he briefly mentions these volumes his second edition of Dibdin's "France and Germany" in that catalogue noting the binding as by Forbes. Generally a Good set soundly bound with some offsetting from the plates occasional foxing spots to the text and some browning and foxing to the plates tissue-guards where present and endpapers; volume 1 has staining to the frontispiece and volume 3 has staining to the lower fore-edge corners; there is a small piece of paper adhered to the contents page in volume 3.
