Excerpt from The Library of the Late Theodore Low De Vinne Those embodying the aspirations and attainments of a trained mind which spent years in bringing together books selected with a certain end in View and those which were assembled with the sole idea of acquiring numbers of volumes expensive and rare. The first is a partially realized dream, the heart of the owner's desires; the second, no matter how choice and valuable, is only a collection of books. To the former class belongs the library of the late Theodore L. Devinne, Master Printer. In it we see the careful accumulation of a lifetime of study and accomplishment; the tools wherewith he fashioned the works on typographical history and criticism which will keep his memory bright for all those who love a well-made book and try to do their part in maintaining a high standard for the art preservative of all arts, the art of printing. Mr. Devinne used his library constantly in the preparation of his books as well as to study historic types, etc., with the purpose of improving American printing. He was a great admirer of the early Venetian printers and had many examples from their presses. In his Historic Printing Types, 1886; title-pages as seen by a Printer, 1901; and above all in Notable Printers of Italy during the Fifteenth Century, 1910, he reproduced specimens from his own collection; indeed nearly all the facsimiles in the last mentioned book are from copies now offered for sale. In addition to the many valuable examples from Fifteenth Century Presses, the library contains a very large collection of reference books on early typography. Taken as a whole, it is the finest library on the history of printing which has ever been offered for sale in this country.

"But it is his skill as a historian as well as a printer that endears his name to the student of typography. His four volumes on the practice of typography are considered classics. In an age when few American scholars were examining early printed books, he made significant scholarly contributions to the study of incunables. When the Grolier Club was founded in 1884, it was not surprising that, as New York's most illustrious printer, he was asked to be one of the founding members and to provide much the Club's early printing."--BOOK JACKET.
