Description

Robert Proctor will always be remembered among bibliographers for two things: for his rearrangement of the incunabula in the British Museum in what has become known as Proctor order, based on the way in which printing spread in its early days; and for the mystery which continues to surround his death. In 1899 he started to keep a private diary, and this lasted until his death in 1903. One of the volumes is missing, but the remaining three are edited and published for the first time here.
