About this book
Thomas Frognall Dibdin's Bibliomania was originally published in 1809 and was re-issued in several editions. The text says we are informed that Mr. Smith was as constantly known every day to walk his rounds through the shops as to sit down to his meals. The text quotes the words while others were forming arms, and new-modelling kingdoms, his great ambition was to become master of a good book.
The text speaks of the highly finished bust of the pensionary Meerman and says his library was a sort of bibliographical emporium, where the idle and the diligent alike met with a gracious reception. The text says we approach Fournier, a man of lively parts, and considerable taste. The text gives the words of a will that reads I, Thomas Baker, ejected Fellow of St. John's college, Cambridge, do make my last will and testament, as follows.
