BOHN, HENRY GEORGE (1796-1884), British publisher, son of a German bookbinder settled in England, was born in Lon don on Jan. 4, 1796. In 1831 he started as a dealer in rare books and "remainders." In 1841 he issued his "Guinea" Catalogue of books, a monumental work containing 23,208 items. Bohn was noted for his book auction sales: one held in 1848 lasted four days, the catalogue comprising 20 folio pages. Printed on this catalogue was the information: "Dinner at 2 o'clock, dessert at 4, tea at 5, and supper at io." The name of Bohn is principally remembered by the important Libraries which he inaugurated: these were begun in 1846 and comprised editions of standard works and translations, dealing with history, science, classics, theology and archaeology, consisting in all of 766 volumes. One of Bohn's most useful and laborious undertakings was his revision (6 vols. 1864) of The Bibliographer's Manual of English Litera ture (1834) of W. T. Lowndes. Bohn collected pictures, china and ivories, and was a famous rose-grower. He died at Twicken ham on Aug. 22, 1884.
