Nine volumes appeared, taking the alphabet as far as Hessus; seven or eight further volumes were planned, but no more were published after Clément's death. Brunet, in the historical preface to his own great compilation, notes that by the middle of the 18th century, the need for a single handy universal bibliography was widely recognised, and that despite the shortcomings inevitable in any pioneer work, it is much to be regretted that it was never completed. And Brunet admits that for all its prolixity, it remains the only convenient source for much out of the way information. Complete sets are now of considerable rarity.

FIRST EDITION of a monument in bibliography. It began with a paper by Pollard read to the Bibliographical Society in 1918. Redgrave took the proposal forward by offering to provide the necessary funds (£600) and half his time for the next three years for editorial work (as well as his house at Sydenham for working space). Pollard and Redgrave were as they admit in their Preface both 'old enough and experienced enough to have known that the rod which they were making for their own backs was a heavy one' but they were given every assistance by colleagues and institutions and were able to complete the project in eight years (rather than the three originally envisaged). Of this first edition, to be distinguished from the countless reprints, there were printed some 500 copies for members and just 750 for general sale. A much-used reference, few have survived in nice state. With book label of John Fuggles.

De Ricci p.118. Famous catalogue of a remarkable library of theological MSS. and printed books, particularly rich in early editions of the Bible. It was sold at auction in 1844, and despite the commonly stated opinion that the books made considerably less than their original cost, there is evidence that prices were beginning to recover from the great depression of the 1830s. Pettigrew indeed claimed that the books 'brought more than double what they cost'. The catalogue is also one of the less likely George Cruikshank items; seven of the plates and four of the woodcuts were engraved by him (see Cohn 643).
