This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

An excerpt of a review from The Book Buyer: THE book-plate, as it is understood nowadays -- that is, the label, printed or engraved, heraldic or otherwise, intended to proclaim the ownership of a book when affixed to its board or fly-leaf -- made its first appearance, according to Egerton Castle, in Germany. The oldest known ex-libris dates from about 1450, and is that of Johannes Knabensperg, the design, in a rough wood-cut, showing a hedgehog disporting itself with a flower in its mouth among strewn leaves. The oldest ex-libris actually connect with a printed book dates from about 1480, the design, an angel bearing a shield, having the same motive as Thackeray's drawing for the book-plate of his friend the poet and the translator of "Rubaiyat of Omar Khaiyam," Edward Fitzgerald. Durer designed at least book-plates, and exerted a lasting influence in the art. The use of the ex-libris was general among German book collectors before the custom was adopted in other countries.
