Excerpt from Early Editions: A Bibliographical Survey of the Works of Some Popular Modern Authors Another reason has more of an artistic basis. How the book-men, by whom is meant at the moment those who accumulate books from a mere love of possession, came to fix their attention on early editions at all is a matter for speculation. If a guess might be hazarded, it would be that they were first attracted by those containing plates by such well-known and popular artists as Rowlandson, Theodore Lane, H. K. Browne, Alken, and many more, and that subsequently, when the fashion was firmly set, they extended their desires to other books not so illustrated, and that the same rules of procedure then began to Operate with respect to them also. If so, this will be another reason why a first edition is usually accounted of more importance than a second. The illustrations are necessarily superior, the plates having passed under the artist's hands, and not yet worn; but even if there are no illustrations, the transition is natural, and the development quite in harmony with what might have been expected.
