The Writings Of Lord Byron In The Collection Of O.N. Chadwyck-Healey. [Chadwyck-Healey. O.N.] Literature : English (Bibliographies)

Later half cloth (originally issued as stapled sheets), 15 leaves (text on rectos only), drophead title. Scarce. No copy of this catalogue traced. The Grolier Club Library has a catalogue of 12 rather than 15 pp with the addition of "and Byroniana" in the title and giving the publication details as " [London : Haycock Press], 1953". With a note inscribed in green ink in the hand of John Collins on the front free endpaper: "Undated letter at Rutgers 'Dear Mr Wise I venture to send herewith lists of my Byron items and Byroniana , Oliver Chadwyck-Healey', He draws particular attention to the Werner (p11)". The catalogue entry for the Werner explains that this copy (in part a proof) was lent to [Thomas James] Wise for his examination and is recorded in his Byron Bibliography. Laid in is a clipping from a bookseller's catalogue (James Burmester) offering what may be this volume together with a 1950 version (of 11 pp) and noting for both "Very uncommon : not previously seen by us". Oliver Nowell Chadwyck-Healey (1886-1960) was a noted book-collector and publisher.
