There were copies of the Catalogue of Steeven's books struck
off on LARGE PAPER, on bastard _royal octavo_, and in
_quarto_.
It remains to say a few words of the celebrated collector of
this very curious library. The wit, taste, and classical
acquirements of GEORGE STEEVENS are every where recorded and
acknowledged. As an editor of his beloved Shakspeare, he
stands unrivalled; for he combined, with much recondite
learning and indefatigable research, a polish of style, and
vigour of expression, which are rarely found united in the
same person. His definitions are sometimes both happy and
singular; and his illustrations of ancient customs and
manners such as might have been expected from a head so
completely furnished, and a hand so thoroughly practised. I
