Hodgson, May 22nd and 23rd, 1895. ¶ This sale will serve to show the futility of speculating largely in modern large paper editions, or in artificially "boomed" works, issued in limited editions. That Mr. Wise's "Bibliography" should fetch only 9s. is a fate which its originator never, for one moment, expected it would have, but which, I confess, amounts to almost divine justice. There may be this to be said for the low prices realized by the lots from the "other sources," that they looked suspiciously like a booksellers' "rig." 2826. Grevillea. Edited by M. C. Cooke.
