Excerpt from Typographical Gazetteer: Attempted A few words of Introduction appear necessary, in order to account for the appearance of this volume. Fifty-two years ago, I was appointed one of the two Sub librarians of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, an office which at once brought me, into immediate contact with more than volumes of printed books, besides several thousand manuscripts, in many languages and of almost every age. Of course I was bewildered with the vast mass before me; possessed by a dim and misty notion of the immense value of the' literary treasures partly committed to my care, but without any distinct idea of the actual contents of the great repository, or of its strength in any particular department of literature. But light broke in upon me by degrees.
