ARBER, EDWARD (1836-1912), English man of letters, was ,born in London on Dec. 4, 1836, and was killed in a taxi cab accident in London on Nov. 23, 1912. Arber is associated with the "English Reprints" (1868-8o), by which an accurate text of the works of many English authors, formerly only ac cessible in rare or expensive editions, was placed within reach of the general public. Among the 3o volumes of the series were Gosson's School of Abuse, Ascham's Toxophilus, Tottel's Mis cellany, Naunton's Fragmenta Regalia, etc. It was followed by the "English Scholar's Library" which included the Works (1884) of Captain John Smith, governor of Virginia, and the Poems (1882) of Richard Barnfield. In his English Garner (1877-96) he made an admirable collection of rare old tracts and poems; in 1899-19o1 he issued British Anthologies, and in 1907 began a series called A Christian Library. He also accomplished single handed the editing of two invaluable bibliographies: A Tran script of the Registers of the Stationers' Company, (1875-94), and The Term Catalogues, 1668-1709; with a number for Easter Term 1711 (19o4–o6), edited from the quarterly lists of the booksellers.
