With a chronological list of Printers in Iceland', by Thomas William Lidderdale, of the Department of Printed Books, compiled circ. 1870. This catalogue deals with the printed portion only of the Icelandic material presented to the British Museum on 3 Dec. 1773 by Sir Joseph Banks (the MSS., viz. Add. 4857-4896, being received on that date and on 9 Jan. 1778). A MS. catalogue of these printed books and of the thirty MSS., compiled 1778 (?) by an unidentified writer, is in the Department of Printed Books (press-mark 980. h. 32). (On the formation of his Icelandic collection by Banks see H. Hermannsson, 'Sir Joseph Banks and Iceland', Islandica, vol. 18, 1928, especially pp. 15-16.) Most of the material in the present MS. (for example, the lists of printers at ff. 78-86, etc.) was incorporated in Lidderdale's Catalogue of the Books Printed in Iceland from A.D. 1578 to 1880, in the Library of the British Museum, published by the Trustees in 1885.
