Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm, xii, 587 pp. Approximately 7,500 entries. From a contemporary review by C.F. Harrold of the first edition: "[Dyer] has produced a bibliography for both the general reader of Carlyle and the Carlyle scholar, listing all the ana from the voluminous biography by Mr. D. A. Wilson down to the most modest sermon, from the typical popular article on Carlyle to the concentrated monograph. Of Carlyle's writings he has listed apparently all editions of the separate works. Of the collected writings he has noted only those that may be considered of value to the collector or of some special excellence for the general reader. the reader is at once impressed by the amount of criticism, information, and comment admitted to the lists, varying in length from a few lines to ten pages. Thus on Sartor Resartus . one may read a copious and engrossing account of the genesis of the work, the struggle for its publication, the characters and places in the work, its style and text, its first reception, the best editions, and a list of reviews and comments. In like manner the Carlyle-Froude controversy, the inceptions of the various works of Carlyle, and many biographical details are touched upon in a synthesizing and illuminating fashion. Cross references, another characteristic striking in its prominence, are abundantly adequate. Finally, four Appendixes contain such agreeably unexpected material as a list of the principal portraits, statues, busts, and photographs of Carlyle, a commentary on this list, an index-guide to the ana, an article on Carlyle's invention of a new horse-shoe, a list of Carlyle's known sources for The French Revolution, and an article on the title of Sartor Resartus and a parallel between the latter and 'Wotton Reinfred'.

Cloth, 8vo, 189 pp, 25 plates. Approximately 250 entries. From the introductory matter: "Not many years ago there fell into the writer's hands half a score of copies of Gulliver's Travels printed in 1726 or in 1727, some of them complete in the two volumes, and others of Volume I or of Volume II, unmated. A careful scrutiny brought out the fact that of the copies dated 1726 there were several whose title pages were seemingly alike, but whose texts differed to such a degree that these could not all have been printed from the same set of forms, even if the printer's errors had been amended during the press-work. Of the portrait of Gulliver which goes with these texts there were three marked varieties, one of which is very rare. Lastly, there was at the time a debate among bookmen as to the order of issue of the several texts and of two of the three portraits (the third having been unnoticed). These facts led the writer, as occasion offered, to the study of further copies, by the aid of which, so far as they could serve, he hoped he might bring together enough evidence to settle the questions of priority. He compared copy with copy, line by line, noted misspelled words, and by tracing changes in these from one copy to another, was at last able to separate and define the different editions and to place them in what seemed to be the order of their issue. The conclusions thus drawn from within have been fully supported by later evidence from without." Near Very Good. …
