"Bibliography of Thomas Carlyle's writings and ana" by Isaac Watson Dyer (Portland, Maine, 1928), presented by the author to James A S Barrett, with pencil notes and other additions.
James A S Barrett contributed Section C (a list of the principal portraits, etc., of Carlyle, pages 533-542) to the work.
The volume contains Isaac Dyer's inscription to James Barrett, dated 1928, on the flyleaf, and pencil notes and amendments in Barrett's hand throughout. Press cuttings and a letter, 1930, of Robin Flower, Deputy Keeper of Manuscripts, British Museum, doubtless to Barrett, which were loosely enclosed at various places within the volume, have been tipped in.
