More accurately, perhaps, a historical bibliography. Baker (English and libraries, Northern Illinois U.) and Ross (Massey U., New Zealand) provide extensive detail of the earlier British and American editions of the literary work and other writings by Eliot (1819-80), from their first publication to the time of her death. They also include later printings from plates of editions that had first appeared during her life time, especially those on which she might have had some influence. The reference would interest book collectors and historians of books more than scholars of literature. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
