See More... Collier, John Payne BIBLIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL ACCOUNT OF THE RAREST BOOKS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED, WHICH DURING THE LAST FIFTY YEARS, HAVE COME UNDER THE OBSERVATION OF J. PAYNE COLLIER.
2 volumes. London Joseph Lilly 1865 8vo. original quarter calf over green cloth. xiii,xlvi,555; (ii),593 pages.
A bibliographic work of the critic, scholar, bibliographer, and forger John Payne Collier (1789-1883). Besterman 917; Sabin xxxvi. Collier's major fraud was his 1852 "Notes and Emendations to Shakespeare," based on marginalia, purportedly by contemporaries of Shakespeare, "discovered" by him in a 1632 folio of Shakespeare (which he kept from scrutiny); Collier, a competent Shakespeare scholar, presumably saw this not as forgery but as the correction of a lamentable lack of documentary evidence supporting the correct understanding of Shakespeare. This bibliography is based on an 1837 catalogue by Collier of the Earl of Ellesmere's collection (the "Bridgewater catalogue"), and lists about 750 works of the 16th and 17th centuries. Fairly brief bibliographic descriptions are frequently followed by lengthy annotations with short excerpts. In the preface, Collier alludes to a lack of good relations with the British Museum (he had quarreled with Panizzi) as a reason for the relative lack of British Museum holdings in his listings (a bibliographic limitation not noted on the title page!), asserts that he has duly credited other bibliographic sources, and that he has personally examined every book "the merits and peculiarities of which are discussed in these volumes," which may seem a little equivocal. With an alphabetical index for both volumes at the end of vol. II. Leather rubbed along hinges and wear at spine ends with part of leather missing at top of the spine of volume 2..
