Excerpt from Rare Books and Their Prices: With on Tottery Pottery, and Tortuga Postage
The first portion of the chapter on Books and the second Chapter on Pictures have appeared in the Nineteenth Century; the second portion of the chapter on Books, and also those chapters dealing with Porcelain and Postage Stamps, were first published in the Fortnightly Review, to the respective Editors of which important periodicals I desire to express my thanks for their permission to reprint these papers. Each article has been most carefully revised, and very considerably amplified.
