er's _Bibliographie Biographique
Universelle_ (1854) is a most useful work, although it is
now unfortunately somewhat out of date.
_Book-keeping._--B.F. Foster's _Origin and Progress of
Book-keeping_ (1852) contains an account of books published
on this subject from 1543 to 1852.
_Botany._--Pritzel's _Thesaurus Literaturae Botanicae_ (1851,
another edition 1872-77) is _the_ Bibliography of the
subject, and this work is supplemented by Mr. Daydon
Jackson's Index of Botany, published by the Index Society.
Trimen's Botanical Bibliography of the British counties,
London, 1874. 8vo.
_Chemistry._--R. Ruprecht, Bibliotheca Chemica et
Pharmaceutica, 1858-70. _Goettingen_, 1872.
_Classics._--Dr. Edward Harwood published his "View of the
various editions of the Greek and Roman Classics" in 1790.
He was followed in 1802 by Thomas Frognall Dibdin, whose
work was much enlarged, and reappeared in several editions;
the fourth and best being published in 1827 (2 vols. 8vo.).
J.W. Moss published his "Manual of Classical Bibliography"
in 1825, 2 vols. 8vo. Henry G. Bohn's General Catalogue,
Part II. Section I. 1850, contains a valuable list of Greek
and Latin Classics. Engelmann's Bibliotheca Scriptorum
Classicorum et Graecorum et Latinorum (1858) is an elaborate
work on the subject, and Professor John E.B. Mayor's
translation and adaptation of Dr. Huebner's Bibliographical
Clue to Latin Literature will be found to be a very useful
handbook.
_Commerce._--See _Trade_.
_Dialects._--Mr. J. Russell Smith published, in 1839, a
useful "Bibliographical List of the Works that have been
published towards illustrating the Provincial Dialects of
England" (24 pages). When the Rev. Professor Skeat started
the English Dialect Society, he at once laid the foundation
of an extensive Bibliographical List to include MSS. as well
as printed works. This Bibliography is being published by
the Society in parts.
_Dictionaries._--William Marsden printed privately, in 1796,
a valuable "Catalogue of Dictionaries, Vocabularies,
Grammars, and Alphabets."
_Dictionaries._--Truebner's Catalogue of Dictionaries and
Grammars (1872, second edition 1882) is a very useful work.
