Harrison D. Horblit in 1958
TH I S year marks the one hundred twenty-fifth anniversary of Sir
Thomas Phillipps's death on 7 February 1872. Twenty-five years ago on 19
December 1972, "Sir Thomas Phillipps: Portrait of a Collector" opened
at the Grolier Club, an exhibition curated by Club member Harrison D.
Horblit. Horblit is renowned as a collector oflandmarks in the history of
science, but his archive of books and manuscripts relating to Sir Thomas
Phillipps was the treasured core of his many collections. Regrettably, no
catalogue or other major publication was produced to accompany that
1972 exhibition. Through the generosity of his widow,] ean Mermin Hor-
blit, Harrison Horblit's Phillipps archive is now part of the Grolier Club
Library, and with this catalogue of the Middle Hill Press portion of the
Horblit Phillipps collection we begin the task of bringing this extraordi-
nary material to the attention of both scholars and the book-loving public.
Our thanks go first to Mrs. Horblit for choosing the Grolier as the
repository of her husband's remarkable Phillipps collection, and for her
labor over many years preparing the material for transfer. We are grate-
ful also for the efforts of a number of Grolier Club members. Consulta-
tions with Mrs. Horblit on how the Club might best house and display the
Phillipps Collection were carried out first by past Club president G.
Thomas Tanselle and Librarian Robert Nikirk, and later by Nikirk's suc-
cessor Martin Antonetti. Since its deposit at the Club the collection has
been under the care of Eric Holzenberg, who, in addition to curating the
1997 Grolier Club exhibition celebrating the Horblit Phillipps gift, has
also undertaken to document the collection through this detailed checklist.
The newly-renovated "Phillipps Room" on the fifth floor of the Grolier
Club is the eloquent, tangible result of this long and most fruitful col-
laboration. It is a memorial to the passions of two great book collectors,
Sir Thomas Phillipps and Harrison Horblit, as well as an important schol-
arly resource. I can think of no better place than the Grolier Club for
such a monument.

TH E G R 0 LIE R C L U B has been fortunate in the loyalty of its mem-
bers. A prime instance of how the Club has benefited from this devotion
is recorded in the following pages, which set forth the contents of the
Middle Hill Press portion of the Horblit Collection of Sir Thomas
Phillipps. The death of Harrison D. Horblit in 1988 deprived the Club of
one of its most distinguished and influential members: he had been
active on committees and for eleven years had served on the Council,
and he was responsible for one of the Club's best-known publications,
One Hundred Books Famous in Science (1964). Partly because of this book,
Horblit was most widely regarded as a collector of the history of science;
but he also formed superb collections of bibliographical history, early
photography and photographically illustrated books, and Sir Thomas
Phillipps. The latter interest, indeed, links the previous two, given Phil-
lipps's place in the history of book collecting and his early interest in
photography (both as collector and practitioner). Horblit's Phillipps col-
lection, which included Phillipps's own archival set of his publications as
well as related ledgers, manuscripts, and proofs, came to the Grolier
Club in April 1995 through the generosity of his widow, Jean Mermin
Horblit, who has been thoughtfully and methodically carrying out her
husband's wishes. This gift is unquestionably the most important single
donation of research material that the Club has received since its found-
ing in 1884.
The appropriateness of a Phillipps collection for the Club library is
obvious, since Phillipps was one of the greatest (and perhaps the most
voracious) of all book and manuscript collectors and since the Club
library is one of the most important of all repositories of material for the
study of the history of book production, distribution, and collecting.
That the Horblit Phillipps Collection comprises more than Middle Hill
Press imprints is evident to anyone who steps into the newly-renovated
room-henceforth to be called the Phillipps Room-on the fifth floor of
[XI]
In
MIDDLE HILL PRESS
the Clubhouse. What one is likely to notice first are the splendid framed
documents on the walls above the bookcases-the Royal License and Let-
ters Patent granted to Phillipps, including the Patent creating his
baronetcy. These documents and the pictures on the walls represent one
division of the collection, a diverse array of Phillipps memorabilia (his
seal and a few of his school books are among the items present). The visitor
to the Phillipps Room will also observe that some of the shelves are filled
with long runs of uniform volumes. They are Phillipps's marked copies
of some of the dealers' catalogues that he read (and often purchased
from), particularly those of Puttick & Simpson and Thomas Thorpe.
These catalogues are clearly basic to any study of Phillipps's collecting,
and they add further strength to the Club's already rich collection of
dealer and auction catalogues. Many of the Club's nineteenth-century
catalogues have now been moved to the Phillipps Room (and an adjoin-
ing storage area) in order to make this part of the Clubhouse a center for
the study of nineteenth-century bibliop()ly. (The setting is further
enlivened by the relevant presence~Just outside the Phillipps Room, of
another recent acquisition, a 240-volume manuscript catalogue of the
library of the second Earl Spencer, whose period of great collecting over-
lapped the beginning of Phillipps's.)
If the Middle Hill Press material is not the whole of the collection, it is
certainly the largest segment, and in many ways the most intriguing.
Items bearing the Press imprint are notoriously scarce alld difficult to
date, and Eric Holzenberg was right to tackle this portion of the Horblit
Collection first, since its virtual completeness means that a reliable
record of it can bring this intractable body of printed matter under bib-
liographical control. Holzenberg's admirable (and remarkably prompt)
work, displayed in the checklist that fol~ows, illustrated how essential for
scholarship is the context provided by a great collection, for he has been
able to date many pieces that had previously defied cataloguers' efforts
and to provide as well some fascinating annotation. More will be learned
about t~e Press when there has been time for further study of the anno-
tated proofs and manuscripts, but the present checklist, with its most
informative introduction, will serve as the basic road map for future
[XII]
PREFACE
workers in the field. With this guide, and the collection itself, now available,
the Middle Hill Press should come in for more intensive investiga-
tion, since it draws together several strands of book history. The Press is
important in the history of collecting because Phillipps used it to print
catalogues of his collection and publish the texts of some of his
manuscript acquisitions; it therefore also has a place in the story of schol-
arship, as a significant reflection of nineteenth-century antiquarian
interest in making accessible the contents of old documents; and it
clearly has a major position (between Strawberry Hill and Kelmscott) in
the early years of the private-press movement.
This checklist and the 1997 number of the Gazette of the Grolier Club
(filled with Phillipps-related articles, including some account of Horblit's
life) have been published in conjunction with the May 1997 opening of
the Phillipps Room and of a Club exhibition drawn from Horblit's
Phillipps collection. Taken together, these events and publications offer
eloquent testimony to the activities of two great collectors a century apart.

lnttobuttion
Wr L LRA N S 0 M has defined the term private press as "the typographic

expression of a personal ideal, conceived in freedom and maintained in
independence."l This is a particularly fitting description of the eccentric
Middle Hill Press, set up in 1822 by the great (and equally eccentric) col-
lector Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872) at his estate of Middle Hill,
Worcestershire, and maintained there and at his later house of
Thirlestaine near Cheltenham. Ransom's definition is an ideal one for
two reasons. To begin with, it avoids with great delicacy any reference to
aesthetic appeal or textual merit. Even the most ardent Phillipps enthu-
siast will admit that the typical product of the Middle Hill Press is physi-
cally a rather unattractive object, poorly printed on odd sizes of bad
paper, often from blunt and battered type, "a piece of book production,"
said Phillipps scholar A. N. L. Munby, "which it would be charitable to
describe as mediocre."2 Sadly, the aesthetic failings of the press are gener-
ally not redeemed by quality of editing or significance of text. Roderick

Hill Press in general.

MIDDLE HILL PRESS
Cave irritably noted (as have others) that "Phillipps was always prone to
rush into print and was a very careless editor. He printed his books in very
small editions, which he then distributed in an utterly un-systematic man-
ner. The end result has been that many of the works which Phillipps had
put into print for the first time are today almost as inaccessible to the
scholar as if the Middle Hill Press had never existed."3 These caveats,
while distressingly true, are almost beside the point; and this brings us
back to Ransom's definition of private press as "the typographic expres-
sion of a personal ideal": for whatever value Middle Hill Press publica-
tions may once have had to historians is now overshadowed by their
importance as tangible evidence of the personal ideals-perhaps obses-
sions is a better word-which animated one of the greatest book collec-
tors of the nineteenth century.
The Horblit collection of Middle Hill Press publications now at the
Grolier Club offers the Phillipps enthusiast a superb opportunity to sift
and evaluate this evidence. It is a collection unmatched elsewhere in the
United States,4 and worthy ornate even in comparison with the great
English archives of such materia1.5 Consisting of over 550 separate titles
and several thousand corrected proofs and proof sheets, as well as a great
many supporting manuscripts, letters, and other documents, the collec-
tion is the core of a magnificent gift of Phillipps material5 donated to the
Grolier Club by Jean Mermin Horblit, the widow of the collector and for-
mer member Harrison D. Horblit. Horblit amassed this extraordinary

held by the Yale Center for British Art, but the Horblit gift is certainly richer by fur in Mid-
dle Hill Press publications.
5. The British Library has what Munby termed, "a good assemblage" of Middle Hill Press
publications and the Bodleian "a passable one," but that at the Bodleian is of course sup-
plemented by almost tbe whole of Sir Thomas Phillipps's private papers. David Chambers's
collection of Phillipps material is now perhaps tbe best in private hands.
5. Besides Middle Hill Press material, tbe Horblit Phillipps collection includes bookseller
and book auction catalogues annotated by Sir Thomas, four decades of his personal
appointment books, and a great deal of correspondence concerning book purchases, as
well as drawings, photographs, and ephemera, the whole numbering about 2,500 items.

INTRODUCTION
archive over a period of thirty years and in a number of separate pur-

chases, two of which, as they concern Middle Hill Press material
specifically, deserve particular notice here.
THE ROBINSON PURCHASE
One of the first and certainly the most important of Horblit's purchases
of Middle Hill Press material was made in 1959 from retired booksellers
Philip and Lionel Robinson, whose firm (William H. Robinson, Ltd.) had
acquired in 1946 the unsold residue of the vast Bibliotheca Phillippica.
Surviving in the Horblit collection is a typewritten Robinson hand-
list describing the Middle Hill Press portion of this residue. The title
reads: Catalogue of the Most Complete Collection Extant of the Books, Tracts,
Leaflets and Broadsides Printed in Very Limited Issues by Sir Thomas Phillipps at
His Private Press at Middle Hill or Privately Printed Elsewhere to His Order. Com-
prising Some 460 Separate Items. From Sir Thomas Phillipps' Own Collection. It
is a title calculated to seduce-what Phillipps enthusiast could possibly
resist such a description?-but it is also, as we shall see, quite an accurate
assessment.
The significance of this purchase, aside from its intrinsic value as a
nearly complete archive of the Middle Hill Press, lies in the fact that many
of the individual pieces are indeed "From Sir Thomas Phillipps' Own
Collection," and bear his annotations and corrections. The true Phillip-
pophile will not at first think much of this claim. Sir Thomas Phillipps
was a compulsive annotater, and it is not at all uncommon to find multi-
ple copies ofthe same work bearing the baronet's notes, corrigenda, and
random doodles, apparently "as issued." But a great many of the items
from the Robinson catalogue are actually Sir Thomas's personal file
copies, kept close at hand so that he could continue after publication to
correct, annotate, and generally perfect his handiwork, possibly in antic-
ipation of later editions (which in most cases never came to pass).
The physical form of the Robinson copies often reflects this close per-
sonal affiliation. For instance, most of the larger-scale and more important
works are stitched into the drab terra-cotta colored boards favored by Sir
[XVII]
MIDDLE HILL PRESS
Thomas to such an extent that they have become known as "Middle Hill
boards." Others are bound in a pleasant full russia, the majority bearing
the label of George Bretherton, Sir Thomas's printer and binder from
1848 to 1851. Of the single-sheet, smaller-scale, or less important 'fugi-
tive' pieces, some have been sewn into later stiff paper wrappers (probably
dating from the Robinson era), but a great many more are unbound,
or appear to have been disbound from larger volumes-about which
more later.
The Robinson copy of Parochial Collections for the County of Oxford 7 is typ-
ical of these special file copies, and illustrates the wide gulf which often
lay between Sir Thomas's grandiose plans for his Press and the quite
humble works actually produced. As issued (ifPhi1lipps's haphazard dis-
tribution system can be so described) in 1825, the Parochial Collections is
a fragment, consisting of a) an incomplete series of Oxfordshire pedi-
grees on two leaves, followed by b) 98 pages describing inscriptions and
other antiquities in Oxfordshire parishes, intended to run from A to Z,
but as printed extending onlyrlrrnugIl the letter E. It is generally found
without the title-page, and the title under which it is commonly cited,
Parochial Collections for the County of Oxford, is in reality the drop- or cap-
tion-title. Even in truncated form it is not entirely without interest and
value, but it still falls far short of the full-dress history of Oxfordshire
described by Phillipps in his 1819 prospectus. S Phillipps's own copy in
the Horblit collection, however, hints at larger things. T~is copy not only
has the scarce title-page- Oxfordshire Monumental Inscriptions, From the
MSS. of Antony a Wood, Dr. Hutton, and Mr. Hinton)-but it is also inter-
leaved, and the leaves are extensively annotated with additional pedi-
grees and parish names. It is clear from evidence in this copy that
Phillipps intended the Parochial Coll~ctions eventually to be issued with
illustrations; dozens of models for these illustrations are present in the
form of engravings and sketches of churches, monuments and brasses
(some of them obviously torn or cut out of other histories) inserted at

intervals throughout the volume. Some of these illustrations were actu-

ally prepared and printed in quantity, although apparently never issued:
there exists elsewhere in the collection an otherwise rather mysterious
suite of ten lithograph plates9 of Oxfordshire antiquities, each of which
can be matched to an exact counterpart drawing or engraving inserted
in this copy.
THE BIBLIOTHECA LINDESIANA PURCHASE
The second major group of Middle Hill Press publications purchased by

Horblit is significant in its own right, and not just because of its distin-
guished provenance. One of the largest collections of Middle Hill Press
publications in private hands during the nineteenth century was that
belonging to the fabled Bibliotheca Lindesiana. The entries under
"Phillipps" in the massive folio catalogue of that collection 10 run for
twenty columns and cover nearly four hundred items. The separate
pieces were apparently bound up in volumes at some point during their
residence in the collection, and are so described in an appendix at the
end of volume IV of the catalogue: Phillipps, (Sir T.) Bart. Publications,
inquisitions post-mortems, etc. I3 vols. I8I8, etc.fol., 4.,8. Four of these
thirteen ,volumes were sold at Sotheby's on 7 May 1947, and found their
way soon thereafter into the collection of MajorJ. R. Abbey, and later into
Horblit's hands at a sale of Abbey's books at Sotheby's on 15 November
1966. Horblit at some point acquired seven additional identically-bound
volumes, but exactly where, how, and from whom is unknown. Suffice it
to say that of the original thirteen bound volumes of Middle Hill Press
pUblications listed in the catalogue of the Bibliotheca Lindesiana, eleven

similar suite of twenty-six lithograph plates was issued to accompany at least some copies of
the Middle Hill Press edition of Aubrey's Collections for Wilts (London: Printed for J. Davy
... ,1821-1838),2 vols. (GC call no. 34.52 MH176, and no. 249 in the Checklist); and a
number of other Middle Hill Press works have similar lithograph or anastatic illustrations.

can be positively identified in the Horblit collection of Phillipps material

now at the Grolier Club.
These eleven volumes are uniformly bound in nineteenth-century half
morocco over marbled boards by the Fazakerly firm of binders, Liver-
pool, and all the volumes bear the armorial bookplate of the Bibliotheca
Lindesiana on the front pastedown. Each spine has the general title, Sir
T. Phillipps' Privately Printed Works; in addition, each volume bears a sepa-
rate descriptive title: 1) Catalogues ofMSS.; 2) Wales, Ireland, Miscellaneous;
3) Inquisitiones Post Mortem, etc.; 4) Heralds' Visitations; 5) Salop, Warwick,
Wilts; 6) Berks to Oxford; 7) Worcester, Yorks; 8) Heralds' Visitations: Wilts,
I623; 9) Institutiones Wiltoniae, I297-I8IO; 10) & 11) Pedigrees I[-II]
The set contains approximately 230 Middle Hill Press titles, all but eight
duplicated in the larger and more complete set which Horblit bought
from the Robinsons. Some of the copies in this set are annotated by or
inscribed to Sir Frederic Madden (1801-1873), Keeper of Manuscripts
at the British Museum, longtime friend and sometime adversary of Sir
Thomas Phillipps. It was HorhI'il's opinion that the items in this second
group originally belonged to Madden himself, and evidence from
a Sotheby sale catalogue of Madden's library (7 August 1873)11 and
the works themselves, though not conclusive, would seem to support
this hypothesis. Copies of Middle Hill Press works annotated by Madden
were included in the 1873 sale of Madden's library, and annotated copies
of Middle Hill Press publications exist today as part 9f the Bibliotheca
Lindesiana/ Abbey/Horblit set; but unfortunately the copy of the sale
catalogue I have seen 12 is not annotated with buyers' names, and the
printed descriptions are not full enough to allow for positive identi-
fication of individual items in the catalogue with their counterparts in
the bound set.
, Whether or not they belonged to Madden, the real significance of
these Bibliotheca Lindesiana copies of Middle Hill Press publications lies
in the fact that-in contrast to the more-or-less doctored Robinson
11. There appears also to have been an earlier Sothebysale of 2g]une 1867, but I have not
seen a copy of the catalogue.

INTRODUCTION
copies-they present the publications of the Press in something approx-

imating the quite simple state in which most were originally issued. In
common with the versions described in Lowndes, Martin and other stan-
dard lists, many of these Bibliotheca Lindesiana copies lack title-pages
altogether, or the title-pages have been laid in at a later time, and in gen-
eral, with regard to collation and extent, they match contemporary pub-
lished descriptions much more closely than the augmented and
interleaved Robinson copies, interesting and significant as those
undoubtedly are. So while the Robinson set has much to tell us about the
inner workings of the Middle Hill Press and of Sir Thomas's dreams for
i{,the Bibliotheca Lindesiana archive is in many ways a better illustration
of what the baronet actually set before the public.
SCOPE OF THE MIDDLE HILL PRESS COLLECTION
In combining these two complementary archives Harrison Horblit

achieved a collection of exceptional richness and depth-Munby called
it "the only collection in the world which even approximates complete-
ness"13-and one which displays to the fullest Sir Thomas Phillipp's
many interests and activities. Phillipps's overriding passion was, of
course'ethe acquisition of books and manuscripts, illustrated in the Hor-
blit collection by the forty-three catalogues he printed to document his
own extraordinary Bibliotheca Phillippica and the libraries of other
collectors and institutions. The immensely interesting and important cat-
alogue of his own manuscripts, the Catalogus Librorum Manuscriptorum 1 4
(represented in the Horblit collection by no less than five copies, one of
which is Phillipps's own file copy) is perhaps the best known of these. Sir
Thomas was an obsessive maker and printer of lists, and one may also
include under "catalogues" the twenty or so inventories he produced
describing his furniture, maps, photographs, paintings, plate, and other
objects. A few of these are wonderfully absurd. One can only guess what

drove the baronet to commission printed inventories of his fruit trees, the
stuffed birds in his entry-way, and the specimens kept on hand for the
microscope at Middle Hill; although there is evidence to suggest that
some at least may have been set as tests for prospective printers. Phil-
lipps's antiquarian tastes account for the largest category of works in the
collection. His very first work to see print was a two-volume series of tran-
scriptions of Wiltshire parochial registers (Collections for Wiltshire . .. by
Tho. Phillipps, Esq.Junior) 15 printed to his order in 1818 or 1819, and the
last was a continuation of Ralph Bigland's Historical, Monumental and
Genealogical Collections, Relative to the County of Gloucestershire16 which was
begun in 1871. In the course of the intervening half-century he edited
and published more than three hundred titles on local history, geneal-
ogy, and folklore, virtually all of which are represented in the Horblit
archive. An equally passionate (ifless edifying) interest accounts for the
presence of over fifty rabidly anti-Catholic tracts and leaflets. The conve-
nient catch-all category of "miscellalleous" encompasses many pieces
relating to Phillipps's estiteCOandhis private finances, including rental
agreements, lists of tenants and advertisements of timber sales. The
baronet's disastrous forays into politics are also included under this
heading, in the form of campaign broadsides and pamphlets docu-
menting his activities in the elections of 1826, 1832, and 1861. Not least
interesting in this final category are a number of small-scale literary works-
poems, acrostics, ghost stories, etc.-printed by Sir Thomas for distribu-
tion to his friends and family. (Sir Thomas's poetry, by the way, if not as
outstandingly awful as that of the celebrated William McGonagall, is
quite bad enough to be amusing.) More of these fugitive pieces undoubt-
edly remain to be discovered, but the number preserved in the Horblit
collection must represent a substanpal fraction of the extant whole.
Much can be learned about Phillipps and the workings of the Middle Hill
Press from the physical objects themselves. For instance, many of the
individual single-sheet and pamphlet-size works in the Robinson archive
show signs of having been disbound from some larger volume, and there

is evidence elsewhere in the collection to suggest that binding small-scale

works in this way may have been how Sir Thomas kept his multiple file
copies in order: there still exists intact in the Horblit collection a set of
seventeen copies of a single-sheet anti-Catholic political tract, a Political
Catechism for England and Ireland, 17 bound in Middle Hill boards. Sir Tho-
mas's notorious stinginess in all matters not directly related to book-buying
is obliquely illustrated by the many examples of anastatic and litho-
graphic printing in the collection. Anastatic printing was a form of trans-
fer lithography developed in the 1840S as a cheap means of reproducing
manuscripts and drawings in facsimile, and Sir Thomas used it exten-
sively for transcripts of parish registers and other documents, as well as
for illustrations in some of his works. Geoffrey Wakeman's pioneering
article on Sir Thomas's use of this process 1S describes what anastatic
printing was, when it was used for Middle Hill Press publications, and by
whom, but, curiously enough, declines to speculate about why Sir Tho-
mas should have sought alternatives to traditional letterpress printing.
Michael Twyman has taken the investigation a good many steps for-
ward,19 demonstrating that money (lack thereof, habitual penny-pinch-
ing attitudes towards) must surely have been a factor in Phillipps's
decision to use lithography. As part of his very useful census of early litho-
graphic works, Twyman has identified and formally described fourteen
such titles issued by the Middle Hill Press. The Horblit collection con-
tains all of these, plus one other (a four-page rental agreement dating
from sometime in the 1850S20) of which he was apparently unaware. Any
further investigation might also profitably include an examination of the
forty-odd other lithographic illustrations and single-sheet transcriptions
described herein.

lies in the corrected and annotated proof sheets which accompany

almost every one of the 558 Middle Hill Press titles in the collection. For
instance, the often stormy relations between Phillipps and a series of
unhappy printers 21 are revealed in bitter comments inscribed on many
ofthese sheets. We can deduce from this ad-hoc correspondence (as did
Munby, who worked from many of these very documents) that Phillipps
paid his printers grudgingly, when he paid them at all, and also that he
was a terrible editor-although of course that much is painfully obvious
from the corrected sheets alone. A good many bibliographic mysteries
surrounding the Middle Hill Press can be cleared up by careful exami-
nation of these annotated proof sheets. Take printing dates, for example:
Sir Thomas was famously reluctant to provide frills such as title-pages for
his publications, and even where he did so, was prone to express dates of
publication in some such unhelpful form as "ca. 1840" or "183 .. or
184 .. ", or even "1850, annisque variis prioribus". Many of these undated
or misleadingly dated publications can ~e assigned a correct (or at least
probable) chronological place"basedon information from accompany-
ing dated proofs. As a bonus, the sheets often bear additional notes iden-
tifYing the author or printer of the work, or specifYing the number of
copies to be printed off. This checklist has taken into account evidence
provided by some of these proofs in establishing dates and attributions,
but it has not yet been possible to properly examine every one of the sev-
eral thousand annotated sheets in the Horblit collectionJover eight hun-
dred such sheets accompany the Catalogus Librorum Manuscriptorum
alone), and much information about Sir Thomas and his press no doubt
still lies hidden there.

INTRODUCTION
PREVIOUS CHECKLISTS AND CATALOGUES OF
MIDDLE HILL PRESS PUBLICATIONS
It will by now be obvious to the reader why, more than a hundred years
after the death of its proprietor, the Middle Hill Press still has no formal
bibliography. "I am aware," admitted Sir Thomas, "that my performances
in Book-making stand in need of many apologies. "22 In fact, Phillipps sel-
dom missed an opportunity to confound future generations of scholars,
collectors, and bibliographers. Convinced that maintaining a resident
printer would save him money, he felt compelled to print in quantity,
usually at the expense of quality. But as we have seen, he brought to full
completion relatively few of his larger projects, so that much of the formal
output of the press exists only in more-or-Iess fragmen tary state, and those
fragments are often found in several variants. He consistently neglected
to provide date, place of publication, or printer for his works, and the
imprint information which does appear is apt to be misleading. His hap-
hazard methods of distribution, particularly for large-scale works printed
over the course of time, means that almost every copy of (for instance)
the great Catalogus Librorum Manuscriptorum differs significantly from
every other copy. Mindful of these difficulties, A. N. L. Munby, the great
Phillipps scholar, himself doubted "that the benefit which scholars would
derive from a complete bibliography of the Middle Hill Press would be
commensurate with the immense expenditure of time and labour which
its compilation would entail."23 If Munby-certainly no stranger to im-
mense expenditures of time and labor-quailed at the prospect, small
wonder that no one has yet had the temerity to construct a formal record
of this troublesome, yet immensely interesting private press.
Although we have no bibliography per se of the Middle Hill Press, Sir
Thomas Phillipps's typographic efforts are by no means undocumented.

MIDDLE HILL PRESS
There are in fact a surprising number of catalogues, checklists, and other

works, and navigating among them is one of the more daunting aspects
of bibliographical research into the Press. The earliest of these lists were
created with the cooperation of Sir Thomas himself, and are still of great
value. The first was compiled byJohn Martin (1791-1855), bibliographer
and librarian to the Duke of Bedford. Martin included this list as pp.
[441 J-458 in his Bibliographical Catalogue ofBooks Privately Printed (1834) .24
Within the limits of the bibliographic practice of the time, it is a very use-
ful compilation. The titles of the seventy-five entries are transcribed fully
and fairly accurately, and format and pagination are included. In many
cases where the item as issued lacks place of publication, printer, or date,
Martin has supplied that information, as well as further bibliographic
details, such as numbers of copies printed. The source of these additions
was almost certainly Sir Thomas himself, and since they are often
recorded nowhere else, Martin remains one of the best secondary
sources of information we have on th~_, early years of the Middle Hill
Press. In 1858 Sir Frederic Madcren compiled and submitted to Notes &
Queries a list of 108 Middle Hill Press publications 2 5 issued up to that
time, minus, according the editor's note, the "many single sheets ofPedi-
grees and other valuable matter". Unfortunately, the bibliographic
usefulness of this list is much impaired by the extreme brevity of the
entries, the casual approach to title transcription, and the fact that no
dates of publication are given. A somewhat more accurate idea of the
mature scope of the press can be gleaned from the list published in
Henry G. Bohn's edition of William Thomas Lowndes's famous Bib-
liographer's Manual (1864-1865). About forty entries appear under the
heading "Phillipps" in volume N, supplemented by an additional two
hundred under "Middle Hill Press, Worcestershire" in Bohn's appendix
to' Lowndes, published as volume VI of The Bibliographer's Manual. In
terms of simple extent Lowndes would appear to supersede Martin and

INTRODUCTION
Madden, but its advantages over earlier works are more apparent than
real. The entries for items printed before 1835 are in fact cribbed
verbatim from Martin, and a great many of those printed after 1835 are
copied from Madden's less-than-satisfactory Notes & Queries article. The
last (and best) formal list of Middle Hill imprints to appear in the nine-
teenth century was that compiled and published anonymously in 1886 by
Sir Thomas's grandson, Thomas FitzRoy Fenwick (1856-1938). The
Middle Hill Press: A Short Catalogue of Some of Sir Thomas Phillipps' Privately
Printed Works consists of one hundred twenty-four entries, encompassing
about two hundred separate titles. In contrast to the relatively haphazard
arrangement of both Martin and Lowndes, the numbered entries in
Fenwick are grouped according to topic, a useful organization given the
lack of any obvious chronology in Middle Hill Press works, and one
which has been followed by most subsequer,t compilers. Finally, although
it does not include a formal bibliography of the Middle Hill Press, A. N.
L. Munby's five-volume Phillipps Studies remains an absolutely essential
source of bibliographic information on the more important works, such
as the Catalogus Librorum Manuscriptorum and the Catalogue ofPrinted Books.
Excellent descriptions of Middle Hill Press works are also found in
some of the dozens of bookseller and book auction catalogues produced
in connection with the dispersal of the Bibliotheca Phillippica after
1886. Fenwick's 1886 Short Catalogue should also head the list of these.
For although the entries are not priced, the extensive and rather
plummy descriptions read suspiciously like those in a sale catalogue, and
Munby confirms that Fenwick was eager to dispose of material "which
had proved so difficult to market in the great collector's own lifetime."26
We also learn from Munby that Fenwick consigned a good many Middle
Hill Press items with London bookseller Bernard Quaritch, and Quaritch
"Rough List no. 79" (November 1886: Choice Portions of the Library of the
Late Sir Thomas Phillipps, Bart. ... ), with some two hundred and fifty titles,
remains a useful source in spite of the very sketchy form of the entries.

MIDDLE HILL PRESS
Significant numbers of Middle Hill Press works were offered by

Sotheby's 27 in sales of books and manuscripts from the Bibliotheca
Phillippica held on 3 August 1886 (u~S 10tS),28 22 January 1889 (110
lots), 7 December 1891 (llSlots), 19June 1893 (lOS10ts), and 24 April
1911 (lOSlots); additional, less extensive offerings of Middle Hill Press
material appeared in Sotheby sales of 19 June 1896 (3S lots) and 24
April 1911 (16 lots).
The unsold residue of the Bibliotheca Phillippica, including a mass of
Middle Hill Press publications, eventually made its way into the hands of
the William H. Robinson Ltd. firm of booksellers, and one of the last
significant offerings of Middle Hill Press materia1 29 appeared in the cat-
alogue of a Sotheby's sale of Robinson Trust property which was held on
IS/16 May 1969 (163 lots). A. N. L. Munby wrote the introduction to
the catalogue and may very well have had a hand in the descriptions,
which are very full and accurate. One of the best of book dealer cata-
logues devoted to the Middle Hill Press was that published by the firm of
H. P. Kraus in 1972 on the cerite'ilary of Phillipps's death. Special Suby"ect
Bulletin NO.5: A Catalogue of Publications Printed at the Middle Hill Press,
I8I9-I872 with over four hundred numbered entries3 0 was at that time
by far the most comprehensive list of its kind, and certainly one of
the most bibliographically sophisticated, with titles transcribed in full,
extent accurately described, and typographic variants carefully noted.
The Kraus catalogue was among the first to itemize sOme of the many
27. It is interesting to note that the sections on Middle Hill Press material in many of these
sales are prefaced by a warning: "All the following Publications can be guaranteed as con-
taining all that was ever printed for each of them. Attention is called to this fact, as, from
the mode of their preparation and printing, some of the pieces were issued in a more or
less imperfect state .... "
28. Roland Folter has suggested to me that hIost of these 125 lots may have gone to
Be'rnard Quaritch, to appear in November 1886 as part of his Rough List no. 79, described
above. The Horblit collection at the Grolier Club contains Fenwick's annotated set of the
Sotheby Phillipps sale catalogues, but alas, the annotations do not include names of buyers.
29. The cream of the Robinson hoard of Middle Hill Press material had, of course, already
been privately sold to Harrison Horblit in 1959.
30. The actual number of titles is somewhat less, due to the fact that the many duplicate
copies and proof sets are each assigned a unique number.

THE GROLIER CLUB MIDDLE HILL PRESS
CHECKLIST
It is time to justifY yet another list of Middle Hill Press publications. The
importance of the HorbIit archive has already been noted, but it is worth
repeating here that it is certainly the largest and most complete such
collection in the United States,3 1 and one of the richest anywhere, par-
ticularly in the number and importance of association copies, annotated
proofs, and other supporting material. A published record of this partic-
ular collection is therefore certainly warranted. But like its predecessors
this catalogue, though more detailed than most, is not a formal bib-
liography of the Middle Hill Press. A. N. L. Munby's doubts about the
scholarly value of such an enterprise, in light of the immense biblio-
graphical problems involved, are still valid.3 2 It is, however, the only such
list which documents a permanent physical assemblage of works from the
Mi~dle Hill Press.33 The titles listed in Martin, Lowndes and Fenwick
either never existed physically as a group, or were never directly examined
by their compilers, or were documented only to be dispersed through
sale or auction. In contrast, this checklist of the Horblit collection of
Middle Hill Press publications is intended to foster interest in a rich and
(more importantly) tangible scholarly resource, one that has much to
3 1 . In fact, there are only eleven items cited in earlier lists of the Middle Hill Press which
are not found in the Horblit collection. These are given in Appendix A.
32. A more detailed bibliographic treatment of selected Middle Hill Press titles seems how-
ever both desirable and possible, and will appear in due time, perhaps as a supplement to
this Checklist.
33 One can gain some idea of the British Library's extensive collection of Middle Hill Press
material from the British Museum catalogue, for instance, but not easily, since they are not
grouped together; and the collection at the Yale Center for British Art has been catalogued,
but not in published form.
[XXIX]
MIDDLE HILL PRESS
tell us about Sir Thomas Phillipps, his antiquarian and bibliophilic pur-
suits, his printing activities, and his fabled library.
Like the collection it documents, this catalogue assumes a fairly broad
definition of "Middle Hill Press." Items printed under Sir Thomas's
direct supervision at his estates of Middle Hill or Thirlestaine form the
core of the collection, of course; but we would have only a poor idea of
Phillipps's publishing activities if works "printed elsewhere to his order"
were omitted, and by including them we follow solid precedent. So far,
so good. But what about offprints of articles by Phillipps? How to treat
works published or continued after his death? Horblit considered these
works to be an indispensible part of his Middle Hill Press collection, and
in this he also followed the lead of the Robinsons and other dealers, as
well as previous bibliographers of the press. To exclude these offprints
and posthumously published works would probably not much impover-
ish our knowledge of the Middle Hill Press; but on the other hand, their
inclusion gives a clearer picture of Phillipps's wider antiquarian activities
and writings. In the end, a slighrblurring of bibliographic focus on the
press seemed a small price to pay for a clearer picture of the man and his
influence.
The entries in this checklist are grouped according to topic, under five
main headings: Catalogues (including the subcategories Catalogues of the Bib-
liothecaPhillippica; Catalogues of Other Libraries; and Other Lists & Inventories);
Antiquarian Works (encompassing England, General; Englqnd subdivided by
county; Wales, General; Wales subdivided by county; and Other Antiquarian
Works); Genealogical Works (divided into two subcategories, General; and
Families); Anti-Catholic Works; and Miscellanea. With two major exceptions,
entries within each category are arranged alphabetically by title, a prac-
tice made necessary by the prepon,derance of anonymous historical
documents and other works of unknown or doubtful authorship. In cases
where an author's name appears on the piece or can be determined from
other sources, that fact is mentioned in the entry, and all such entries will
then be found collocated under the author's name in the general index,
as well as separately under their proper titles. The output of a single press
over time is traditionally displayed in a chronological series of entries,
[XXX]
INTRODUCTION
so many Middle Hill Press works are either undated, mislead-

dated or frankly undatable, a chronology has been attempted only
for the very important first category, encompassing the twenty-five Cata-
logues o/the Bibliotheca Phillippica. The other major exception to this title
subarrangement has been made in the subcategory Families under
Genealogical Works, where the entries have been ordered alphabetically
aCC:OIdlng to family name. A few other exceptions will be noted, gener-
ally in isolated instances where a thematic subarrangement of some items
was considered more convenient for the user, or where title variations
threatened to separate different manifestations of the same work. A work
of this type stands or falls by its indexes, and no effort has been spared to
make these as full and complete as possible. Access to subject, genre, title
(including all significant variants), author/editor, and printer is pro-
vided through the general index. A preliminary (and necessarily imper-
fect) timeline for Middle Hill Press publications, based on evidence
. derived from corrected proofs or other sources, and vividly illustrating
the problems involved in dating this material, is given in a second,
chronological index. Finally, I have provided in Appendix A a descrip-
tion of those few Middle Hill Press titles appearing in standard lists which
are not in the Horblit collection, and in Appendix B a list of all printers
identified as having some connection to the Middle Hill Press, with a
Chronology of their association with Sir Thomas, based on evidence from
copies at the GroUer Club.
The checklist entries are numbered in a single sequence, which allows
the user to move easily between the indexes and the entries. In addition,
each entry is identified by a unique call number, constructed according
to the Grolier Club's classification scheme. This number reflects the cur-
rent physical arrangement of the material on the shelves at the Grolier
Club, and is the means by which researchers in the library may request
material from the collection. Call numbers with a final element ofMH1
through MH522 represent the original Robinson archive of 460 items
purchased by Horblit in 1959, with the sixty or so additions he made in
SUcceeding years. Horblit retained the Robinson inventory numbers in
arranging this material on his shelves, and faced with the necessity upon
[XXXI]
MIDDLE HILL PRESS
its arrival of quickly getting the collection under some sort of biblio-
graphical control, and in the interest of maintaining some physical
record of Horblit's connection with the material, the Grolier Club has
followed suit. Because they almost always duplicate items from the larger
and more comprehensive Robinson purchase, call numbers for items
from the supplementary eleven-volume Bibliotheca Lindesiana set of
Middle Hill Press titles are generally not explicitly supplied, but instead
are referred to in a note ("Copy 2 bound in vol. 6 of Sir T. Phillipps' pri-
vately printed warks"). The few catalogued items not originally part of
either the Robinson or the Bibliotheca Lindesiana set of Middle Hill
Press publications-notably the various Middle Hill Press catalogues of
the Bibliotheca Phillippica-have been classified according to their
proper subject.
This work began as a series of computerized library catalogue records
created on the RLIN (Research Libraries Information Network)
database, and constructed according to Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules,
2nd ed., rev., which governs U.S:"~3:Iid English library cataloguing in gen-
eral, and Descriptive Cataloging of Rare Books, 2nd ed., a manual of rare
book cataloging rules developed by the Library of Congress. The struc-
ture and aims of an online library catalogue, however, are not those of a
printed checklist, and thus the form and content of the original com-
puterized records have been altered. Certain punctuation conventions
peculiar to libraries have been eliminated, and the entries generally
punctuated according to sense, in order to avoid the confusion which
would result from a strict transcription of the title page. Titles are, how-
ever, generally transcribed in full; in the rare instances where very
lengthy title information has been abridged, this is indicated by the mark
of omission ( ... ). There has been np attempt at typographic facsimile,
no line-breaks are indicated, and capitalization has been normalized
according to standard library practice. Spelling, however, follows the
original as closely as possible, turned letters, misprints and all; in partic-
ular, accents are not supplied in transcription if they do not appear in the
title. Bracketed text in the transcription, aside from "[sic]" or other cor-
rections, generally indicates conjectural information or information
[XXXII]
INTRODUCTION
taken from a source other than the title-page or colophon, and where
appropriate the source of that information is given in a note. Many Mid-
dle Hill Press publications bear no formal indication of place or printer.
Missing elements of the imprint which are known from secondary
sources, or can reasonably be conjectured from internal evidence, are
given within square brackets, in a formula such as "[Evesham: John Agg,
printer ... ]," or "Printed at Middle-Hill: [Edwin Offer, printer ... ], or
"[Cheltenham:] Typis Medio-Montanis .... " Printing dates appearing on
title-pages are transcribed as they appear, with conjectural dates given in
square brackets. The degree of doubt attached to any particular date will
be apparent from its form, "[1829]" signifying a known specific date
derived from dated proofs or reference works, "[1829?]" implying some
chronological uncertainty, "[ca. 1829]" a greater degree of doubt,
"[I82-?]" quite a large degree of doubt, and so on. The basis for any con-
jectural element, if not obvious from context, will be explained in a note.
Collations of individual items are given in full, but in some details-such
as precisely which pages/leaves in a sequence are numbered and which
are not-library rather than traditional bibliographic practice has been
followed. Gatherings in Middle Hill Press publications are generally not
signed; the one or two significant exceptions are noted in the text.
Notes covering authorship, publication, content, and physical details
of individual copies in the collection are given as a matter of course, as
are references to published descriptions in Fenwick, Martin, Lowndes,
and other lists. The word "proof" occurs often in these notes. This is a
term which inspires a certain amount of awe and reverence in the bib-
liophilic world, and a "corrected proof copy" of this or that naturally
commands a higher price in book-dealer and book auction catalogues.
But it should be kept in mind that Sir Thomas Phillipps was a compulsive
doodler, and that by no means all of the "corrected proof copies" appear-
ing in catalogues of Middle Hill Press publications represent copies
corrected specifically for the press. So many of the Middle Hill Press pub-
lications in the Horblit collection are annotated in some way, and those
annotations are of such various kinds, that I have thought it best in this
checklist to be more than usually precise in referring to corrected or
[XXXIII]
MIDDLE HILL PRESS
annotated copies, fragments, or individual sheets. Items bearing

manuscript corrections that were actually and demonstrably incorpo-
rated into later printed versions are labeled "corrected proofs"; copies of
these same trial versions without manuscript markings are termed
"uncorrected proofs"; other annotated items not falling into one of these
two categories are referred to simply as "annotated," or "corrected," or
"inscribed" copies, as appropriate.
The Horblit gift of Phillipps material arrived at the Grolier Club in
April 1995, and it was installed in a room remodeled to receive it during
December 1995 and January 1996. The process of describing and cata-
loguing the 550-odd Middle Hill Press items in the collection was begun
in February 1996, and completed by late August of the same year, at
which time the labor of creating the checklist was begun, the results of
which are before you, published to accompany the May 1997 opening of
the Grolier Club exhibition The Collector Collected: Sir Thomas Phillipps and
Harrison Horblit. The compil~~"~~ke full responsibility for any errors aris-
ing from this very brisk pace, and welcomes additions and corrections.
A great many good friends and colleagues assisted in the creation of
this work. Thanks are due first of all to Jean Mermin Horblit, widow of
Harrison D. Horblit, without whose good stewardship, hard work, and
boundless generosity there would be no Horblit Phillipps collection at
the Grolier Club, no Horblit Phillipps Room to put it in, and no check-
list to document it. For their careful readings of the text and much good
advice I must also thank Martin Antonetti, David Chambers, Roland
Folter, Milton McC. Gatch, Hope Mayo, Henry F. Raine, Carol Z.
Rothkopf, James A. Servies, and G. Thomas Tanselle.
