| 520 | _a"In the Track of the Bookworm" by Irving Browne is a collection of musings and reflections on the art of book collecting, written in the late 19th century. The author, who identifies as a bookworm himself, shares his thoughts, fancies, and gentle critiques regarding the behaviors of collectors and the value of books in society. The work delves into the history and passion for collecting books, touching upon various subjects such as the character of notable collectors throughout history and the nuances of book appreciation. At the start of the text, Browne sets a light-hearted tone, contemplating the nature of humans as collectors and asserting that the pursuit of book collecting is the most noble among all collectible passions. He humorously emphasizes the historical significance of books, quoting various philosophers and famous individuals who have amassed libraries, and he draws parallels between book collectors and other types—making it clear that while collecting is innate to humankind, the obsession with books carries a unique richness. This opening portion establishes Browne’s witty and reflective style as he invites readers into the captivating world of bibliomania, celebrating the love of books with a blend of humor and insight.
