EBERT (Friedrich Adolf). Allgemeines Bibliographisches Lexikon.1821

F.A. Brockhaus, Leipzig. First Edition, 4to, xviii,1076 columns; x,1120 columns, orig. marbled boards, re-backed with over-laid cloth. The learned Chief Librarian of the Royal Library of Saxony assembled this general bibliography over a period of more than a decade. "Whereas Brunet and Grasse emphasized bibliophilic aspects, this general bibliography stresses the scholarly value of its 24,280 selections arranged in one long author alphabet. Its chief usefulness lies in the learned annotations provided by the well-known Dresden librarian." — Breslauer & Folter, Bibliography, 122. Besterman 911; Petzholdt, p. 92.
