My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Davis’s Second Journey wasn’t as fun or interesting as his first. The books selected weren’t as ‘neat’ (for me) as the ones he chose for his 1821 journey. But, I’m still happy to have been able to peruse it.

I would highlight one cited book: Richardi de Bury (originally Richard de Aungerville)’s Phylobiblion de querimoniis Liborum omnibus literatum amatoribus perutile (1473). A fabulous study of how to manage libraries, preserve its books and lending rules. Libraries are one of my favorite places in the world.
