<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 1328334, member: 33&quot;][USER=9706]@Escence[/USER] -- are you trying to figure out whether your book is more authoritative and likely to be accurate in its information than what you are finding on the Internet?</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a wide variety of information available online. When related to people in history, there are many sites that copy the information from other sites, making it look more like it is correct. But it may not be. There are also some very good online sources that are backed by research. It&#039;s also likely that there are copies of your book digitized online. In fact, I just found a catalog entry in the HathiTrust site that has links to two digitized copies, one from the library at Harvard University and one from the New York Public Library. <a href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000207649" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000207649" rel="nofollow">https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000207649</a></p><p><br /></p><p>There is probably something out there that analyzes Ottley&#039;s book and what it contributes to the study of painters and engravers up to the late 19th century. Is that what interests you, when you say you are trying to find information?</p><p><br /></p><p>Yours appears to be the 1866 edition. Is that correct? Your picture is too small for me to make the date out clearly.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
