Excerpt: "Jacques Charles Brunet (2 November 1780 – 14 November 1867) was a French bibliographer....He began his bibliographical career by the preparation of several auction catalogues, notable examples being that of the Comte d'Ourches (Paris, 1811) and an 1802 supplement to the 1790 Dictionnaire bibliographique de livres rares of Duclos and Cailleau. In 1810 the first edition of his bibliographical dictionary, Manuel du libraire et de l'amateur des livres (3 vols.), appeared. Brunet published successive editions of the dictionary, which rapidly came to be recognized as the first book of its class in European literature...."
