The Bibliographer’s Manual of English Literature is his principal work, the first systematic work of its kind. It took Lowndes 14 years to compile, but brought him neither fame nor money. Lowndes later became cataloguer to Henry George Bohn, the bookseller and publisher. In 1839, he published the first parts of The British Librarian, designed to supplement his early manual. This work remains unfinished, however, due to Lowndes’s failing health. FORN-SHELF-0542-BB-2407-JC989
