Note: It is marked as the 3rd edition of A short history of engraving and etching. Indeed, A short history of engraving & etching for the use of collectors and students with full bibliography, classified list and index of engravers was published by Constable in London and Houghton Mifflin Co. in Boston, in 1908 and then in 1911. However, it is hard to consider an almost completely new book "a 3rd edition".
