,

t o the fo llow in g points

A rough es timate of the number o f Luther s ’

, ,

of them appeared there more than o nce an d m any o f them

several times the numbe r o f editions which appeared at

Witt enberg during that pe riod cannot be es timated at less

than In 1 5 2 2 alone L uther publish ed 1 3 0 trea tises ,

and foll o w ed on the next y ear with eighty thr ee If we -

,

and 6 4 0 editions w hich c o n firms the fo regoin g estimate in

.
,

have found this statement in b oo ks o f undoubted S o uth

German type I d o not remember to have seen an instance
,

in which the name of the printer was repr o duced as well .

T o ascertain the printers of L utheran pamphlets with o ut ,

I mpr i nt and produced beyond Wittenberg is a matter o f

great di fficulty and a task fr o m which ev e n Pan z er and

Weller have shrunk An enthusiast with a good camera

might d o something towards it .

III . What ar e th e prope r limits of a County Bibliography ?

I o ffer my sugg e stions on thi s h ead with much diflide nc e as I know ,

that I am addr e ssing those who ar e far mor e compe t e nt to spe ak on such a
matte r than I am .

Th e of limitation is a v e ry w id e on e Wh e n th e county .

which h e is to labour he has a harder task before him than the uninitiat e d

3 2 C0 UNT Y B IB LIO G R A PH IE S .

lit e ratur e in th e widest possibl e signi ficati o n of that t e rm and h e is und e r ,

taking th e work single hand e d it is to be h o p e d that he is a young and very

-
,

healthy man for the chances are that h e will w ell ni gh hav e r e ached
,
-

the allotted thre e score y e ars and t e n e re he sees his work complet e d E ven
, .

if such a w ork w e r e undertak e n by c o Operati o n in th e manner I have sug ~ -

gested it w o uld b e a lengthy process and it w o ul d n o t in my judgment be

, , ,

satisfactory wh e n achi e v e d for it would b e too bul k y and too h e terogene o us

,

for general utility .

For the purpos e of considering what works shall b e includ e d in or

discard e d fr o m a county bibliography I will divid e all lit e ratur e which c an
by any possibility b e d e scrib e d as local into th e following classes
” “

1 . Print e d works —th e cont e nts of which e xclusiv e ly r elat e to th e

county or to any part of it .

2 . Print e d w o rks which contain a substantiv e and important r e fe renc e

to th e c o unty or to any part of it .

3 . Bi o graphi e s of inhab itants of th e county .

4 . L ocally print e d works .

5 . Works writt e n by inhabitants of th e county .

6 . S p ee ches or s e r mons on gen e ral subj ects deliv e red within the
county .

7 Prints .

8 . Map s .

9 . Manuscripts .

I will consider th e s e class e s in th e r e vers e order to that in which I

hav e enumerat e d th e m .

Class 9 Manuscripts I would r ej ect T her e is such a hard and fa st

. .

lin e be tw e en them and printed matter and they require such di fferent treat ,

,
If th i s is .

,
.
,

and p e rhaps that r eason only th e y might be rej ect e d if it i s d e sired to ,

to separate prints V olumes of prin ts would fall und e r C lasses 1 or 2

. In .

th e cas e of s mall counti es sin gl e prints (which ar e oft e n of e xtr eme ,

int er est ) might be includ e d with advantage .

Class 6 . S e rm ons

, ,

local history e g se rmons on th e cons e cration or re -opening o f a church ;

,
. .
,

speech es at the O pe ning of an institution e tc Fune ral s e rmons would be ,

.

includ e d in Class 3 (Bi o graphy) if that class is retain e d .

Class 5 . Works on g e n e ral subj ects written by local authors I would ,

also rej ect Th e ir conn ection w ith the county is rathe r nominal than sub
.

stantial Th e ir inclusion might be gratifying to local s e ntim e nt but I d o

.
,

not se e that it could an s we r any us e ful purpos e I advocat e this w i th th e .

great e r confidence b ecause I se e that a V ic e Pr e sident of th i s S o ciety (Mr

Class 4 Locally print ed works Th e q u estion wheth e r this class

. .

should be includ e d is a ve r debatabl e on e and in my Opinion th e answer y ,

D
34 CO UN T Y B IB L IO GRA PH IE S .

should greatly d e p end on whethe r th e county bibli o graphy is to b e a hand .

m aid t o a national bibliography or an independent w ork ,If the fo rmer .

,

I sh o uld w ith o ut h e sitation say that it should be included Indeed if w e .

,

had compl e te bibliographies of all printed matter from l o cal presses the ,

c o mpilers of the nati o nal w ork would re quire little or nothing else fr o m the
pr o vinces I doubt ho w ever if this we r e all that counties w e re ask e d t o
.
, ,

tak e in hand and Classes 1 and 2 wer e t o b e e xcluded wheth e r th e r e would

, ,

be su fficient inter e st in th e pr o posal for its acc eptance .

But if a C ounty bibliography is to b e an indep e ndent work frame d on ,

lines which will make it as useful and as acceptable to th e county as

possible I incli ne to think although with so me r e lucta nce that locally
, , ,

printed works should b e e xcluded M uch th e same reas o ning applies to

.

them as to works by nativ e authors They have at l e ast from the student s.
,
’

p o i nt o f view no intrinsic relation to the county Inde e d their only c o n

, .
,

n e c tio n with it may b e said to b e the accident of birth .

But th e sa m e rul e s c an hardly b e appli e d t o large and small counti e s ,

y
and i f l o call printed works do not make a bibli ography to o volu minous I ,

think no on e would cavil at their inclusion .

Class 3 I n considering wh e ther o r no bi o graphies of inhabitants

.

shall be included I would r e peat the remark which I have j ust made with
,

regard to Class 4 If spac e will admit th e y should be included The

.
, .

history of a county and the lives of its inhabitants are so inseparably c o n

n e c te d that it is hard to s ee o n what principl e they ar e to b e distinguished
, .

I c ertainly think that w o rk s in this class hav e a prior claim to l o cally print e d
works and it is with great r e gret that my friend and I have bee n forc ed by
,

want of space to e xclude the m fro m our own b ook

, .

I would how e v e r warn thos e who intend to include biographies t hat

, ,

it will involve a decision on many nic e points The title to admission of .

particular works in this class is o ften di fficult to s e ttle Are inhabitants to .

i ncl ud e na tiv e s r e sid e nts, and o ffic e b eare rs ? If so, is birth withou t resi

d e nce s ufficient ? Wha t length o f residence is necessary ? What o ffice

shall entitle its h o lders t o admission

If ho w ever this clas s as a C las s be rejected it does n o t fo ll o w that

, , , , ,

all w ork s which w o uld fall w ithin i t w ere it retained will necessarily be
, ,

rej ected also The biography of a man w h o is de s cri be d o n the title as o f

a certain place o ught surely to be c lassed w ith w o rks relating t o that p lace

relating to the great Berkeley Law S uits were omitted .

Class 2 Works w hi ch c o nta in a substantiv e reference t o th e county

.

or to any part of it have not hithert o except in th e case of th e L a n c a s hir e

,

L ibr a ry , fo und a place in existing county b i bl i ographies But I cann o t .

see o n what gr o und they can be reas o nably exclu ded If they are rej ected .
,

the student o f the hist o ry o f a c o unty will fin d its bibliography but an im

pe rfect guide .

While spe aking thi s clas s I will say that if my sugge sti on of a c o m
of ,

p le te s eries o f c o unty bibli o graphies is ever carri e d o ut the first v o lumes o f ,

the series should b e a bibli o graphy o f w ork s o n general t o pography By .

this m eans the val uable su gg esti o n made by Mr Wheatley m i ght be ut iliz ed .
,

and the titles o f many w o rks c o ntaining refere nces to particular c o unties
n ee d n o t be rep eat e d in the c o unty bibli ographi es as a referen c e t o th e ,

earl i er v olu me of the series wh e r e each was to be found in full would

, ,

suffice .

Th e reference t o the c o unty in this class should b e eith e r a chapter or , ,

distinct portion of the book under a se parat e heading M er e ca sual .

mentions of the county in the texts of work s on general subj e cts could n o t ,

be notice d with o ut making the bibli ographer s work almost endless Exc e p ’
.

that a bibliography s hould be all e mbracing five out of the nin e classes into

Having plac e d all th e works under the h ead of th e town or

I do not propos e to say much about sub h e adings as these must vary -

In all such matters there is room fo r a wide d ifferen ce o f tas te but ,

It is h oped that the S ociety may not be deprived of the pleasure of

printing th i s paper in full but , as Mr Clarke was unable t o revise it to his
, .

sat i sfaction by the time this part of Tr a n sa c tion s had to b e sent to the

, .

S ummary Mr Clarke commenc e d his paper by drawing att e nti o n

to the inaccuracy and inc o mpleteness of the existing bibl i ographical lists of
agricultural b ook s and gave vari o us amusing illustrati o ns o f err o rs into

,

details which sh o w that K ing was in fact mer e ly a superior sort of stud

groom .

Mr Clark e then referred briefly to the chi e f classical works o n

.

A griculture , the Geop o nics , Cato V arro C o lumella Palladius and others
, , , , ,

and sh o wed some early printed editi o ns of these b o oks together with copies ,

of Cre s c e n tius the e arliest Italian writer Charl e s Et i enn e the first French
, , ,

writer and Co n ra du s H e re s b ac h iu s the first German writer

, ,
But th e .

chief part of the p aper consisted o f an elaborate argument in favour of the

first E nglish writer o n A griculture having been John Fitzh e rb e rt, fr o m 1 4 8 3
t o 1 5 3 1 Lord o f N o rb u ry in D erbyshire instead o f as is co m m o nly supposed ,

ther e was a wealth of facts (w hen they came to b e collected and e xamin e d )
in favour of his elder broth e r S q uire J o hn , .

M r Clarke conclud e d his paper by expressing his grati ficati o n that

.

the earliest b oo k o n husbandry should be proved to be by an agriculturist
