Samuel Austin Allibone (April 17, 1816 – September 2, 1889) was an American author, editor, and bibliographer. His Wikipedia entry notes his birth in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, being a descendant of French Huguenots and Quakers. Privately educated, not successful in business, he turned back to books and bibliography from his vast knowledge of English literature. This A Critical Dictionary of English Literature and British and American Authors was copyrighted first in 1854 and went through multiple editions. The first edition (of only three letters) was put out for reviews, and then in 1859, the second volume appeared in print of a few more letters. "In quick succession the whole of Allibone’s Critical Dictionary then appeared: volume 1 in 1870, expanded to encompass A through L; also in 1870 volume 2 for M through S; and finally volume 3 in 1871, with the 'forty indexes of subjects' that had been promised on the title page of each printing since 1858." Over 40,000 different entries eventually appeared.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Very Good
