Author Description

Excerpt from Historical Catalogue of the Printed Editions of Holy Scripture in the Library of the British and Foreign Bible Society, Vol. 1 of 2: English Some of the choicest volumes which Mr. Fry collected are discussed in monographs which he himself published, and many of the remainder contain descriptive notes in his own handwriting. A manuscript list of the whole Fry collection, giving extracts from these notes, was carefully drawn up by Mr. G. M. Clark, the veteran clerk of the Bible House Library, from Whom we have received much willing and useful assistance. We have done our utmost to secure accuracy, by repeating collations, verify ing references, and comparing the proofs with the actual copies described. But in such a catalogue errors are inevitable; and we shall be sincerely grateful for any corrections of those which we cannot hope to have escaped.
