Edward Arber

Among the thirty volumes of the series were Stephen Gosson's School of Abuse, Roger Ascham's Toxophilus, Tottel's Miscellany, and Robert Naunton's Fragmenta Regalia.

It was followed by the "English Scholar's Library" (16 volumes) which included the Works (1884) of Captain John Smith, governor of Virginia, and the Poems (1882) of Richard Barnfield.

[3] In his eight volume English Garner (1877–1890) Arber collected rare old tracts and poems, "ingatherings from our history and literature".

Eliot used to recommend The Shakespeare Anthology for students of his University Extension classes on Elizabethan Literature in London.

He was the sole editor of two vast English bibliographies: A Transcript of the Registers of the Stationers' Company, 1553–1640 (1875–1894), and The Term Catalogues, 1668–1709/11.
