Il Fusi, libraio milanese, aveva assunto nel 1807 la rappresentanza sociale della Società Tipografica de'Classici Italiani. Da ciò l'idea di un'organica bibliografia da offrire come donoagli associati sottoscrittori della "Collezione de' Classici Italiani", edita tra il 1802 e il 1814. Il programma editoriale, avviato nel luglio del 1802 sotto gli auspici del Ministro della Cultura e favorito dal Melzi, prevedeva la realizzazione della prima grande biblioteca letteraria italiana, composta da 250 opere che abbracciassero cinque secoli di tradizione letteraria. Il presente volume si poneva programmaticamente come strumento da affiancare alla "Collezione" per rendere "ragione del metodo seguito" e per dar conto delle varie edizioni precedenti di ogni singola opera. Nell'"Avviso degli Editori", che compare ad inizio volume, il Fusi sintetizza le ragioni dell'opera: fornire una bibliografia di supporto alla collezione basata sui "migliori Cataloghi" e sullo spoglio delle "migliori librerie di questa Città [Milano]", arricchita da una selezione delle varie "Raccolte" di poeti e prosatori e da puntuali biografie direttamente mutuate dalla "Serie delle edizioni di testi di Lingua Italiana" di Bartolomeo Gamba.

Born in Vienna Austria in 1901 Gara established lifelong careers as a portrait photographer and professional cellist. Before the outbreak of the Second World War he and his wife emigrated to the United States where he was hired as cellist for the NBC Orchestra led by Arturo Toscanini. He performed with the orchestra later called The Symphony of the Air until his death. From his seat in the front row of the orchestra Gara was in the unique position to photograph all the great conductors and soloists who appeared with the orchestra during this extraordinary period of musical activity. His subjects were captured in performance rehearsal and in candid moments during recordings and while socializing. Gara's action portraits were used for record covers for the Book of the Month Club and in articles in Time Life and other major magazines around the world. Sun Valley, California, 1950. unknown
