This 1887 volume traces the history of book dedications, beginning with the use of dedications to express love, then to the mercenary practice of selling dedications to patrons, and concluding with a more neutral, balanced sort of dedication. Wheatley confines his selection to English books, concentrating on Shakespeare, Dryden, and Dr. Johnson.

In making thc selection, much care has been taken to include only those works that are noteworthy either for the elegance of their form or the beauty of their ornamentation although a few objects have been chosen for their historical interest, and for the purpose of showing the style of art prevalent at the time in which they were made.
