Thomas Hollis of Lincoln's Inn: A Whig and his Books (The Sandars Lectures in Bibliography)

Thomas Hollis, a connoisseur and collector of art and antiquities, devoted the greater part of his substance and his energy to promoting the ideals of civil and religious liberty. Hollis is best known to modern bibliophiles for the distinctive bindings that he commissioned for the many books he distributed in Britain, the American colonies, and all over Europe. This book contains the first comprehensive catalogue and interpretation of his emblematic binding tools, and should encourage a re-evaluation of Hollis's influence in the Age of Enlightenment and the Age of Revolution.W.
