William Carew Hazlitt 
The Confessions of a Collector (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) 

Published in 1897, this autobiography of a bibliophile was praised by
The
New York Times as ‚entertaining‘ and ‚amusing.‘ Hazlitt’s self expression through book collecting shows him to be a man embracing of the flow and change of literature through the fifty years he collected.
