A Famous London Bookseller.I made allusion last v.eek to the death of Mr. Bernard Quaritch (Quar-itoh'the younger),, the famous London bookseller. 5 Mr. Quaritch’s death was, it seems, quickly followed by that of another gentleman notable in tho London bookselling world. This was Mr. Uriah Maggs, founder of the firm of booksellers, now known as Mages^ and Son, whose shop in the Strana is one of tho recognised meeting places for English. bibliophiles. Coramonoing business in I the West End in 1860, Mr. Maggs be-j came widely known as a leading anti- j quarian bookseller and dealer in fine prints and autographs. In 1894 he made over-the business to his sons, who,- in 1907, moved to the premises they now occupy in. the Strana. -Messrs. Maggs have, I heliove, several customers m Wellington. Their catalogues are really works of art, well worth preserving for the many fine reproductions of curious titlo pages and so forth, with which they are illustrated.
