摘要

Mr. Thomas James Holmes achieved the rare distinction of becoming an expert in three closely related fields: bibliography, the binding of rare books and librarianship. Because of the excellence of his Mather bibliographies he became during his lifetime the dean of American bibliographers (1-3). The remark made by Sir William Osler about John Shaw Billings, an earlier bibliographer, is equally applicable to Mr. Holmes. Osler, speaking of Dr. Billings' important work, the Index-Catalogue of the Surgeon General's Office, said (4): "There is no better float through posterity than to be the author of a good bibliography. Scores know Conrad Gesner by the 'Bibliotheca' who never saw the 'Historia Animalium.' A hundred consult Haller's bibliographies for one that looks at his other works, and years after the iniquity of oblivion has covered Dr. Billings' work in the army ... the great Index will remain an enduring monument to his fame."
