PARR (Samuel). Bibliotheca Parriana. A Catalogue of the Library of the late Reverend and Learned Samuel Parr, LL.D. Curate of Hatton, Prebendary of St. Paul's, &c.1827
London: Printed for John Bohn and Joseph Mawman, First edition, vi, [6], 708, [2], viiipp., without the engraved portrait, orig. cloth, re-backed with orig. spine laid-down. Parr hoped that after his death, "the world would then see what sort of a collection of books had been made by a country parson"; hence the publication of this catalogue compiled by Henry Bohn. Bohn was unsuccessful in his attempt to sell the collection en bloc, and it was eventually sold by auction in 1828.
