AMERICAN ART ASSOCIATION, Managers. THOS. E. KIRBY, Auctioneer. Jorm a Library. They are only a Collection. Nearly twenty years ago I began a tolerably comprebensive course of historical reading. In selecting the works necessary for this I got into the way of frequenting booksellers’ shops, and thus became inoculated with the disease which, in its development, made me a Collector. For many years I found rest after a bard day’s work in Wall Street, by spending an hour or two on my way home in one or more places where I could look over recently purchased books. In those days Mr. Sabin’s shop in Nassau Street was the favorite resort of book-collectors, and one could meet several of them there nearly every afternoon. The arrival of a box from London, containing new importations of books, was always an occasion of interest, and usually gave rise to keen competition for the privilege of making the first selections. Mr. Sabin was an enthusiastic student of Americana, and I was soon instilled with the same feeling. My first efforts were not directed to the purchase of rarities so much as to early local histories of towns, accounts of Indian fights, and other incidents of Special interest. But it is natural to work back to first principles, and so I found myself striving more and more every year to secure the original sources of our knowledge of the dis- covery and early history of the country. This made me more or less familiar with the works issued in the.early part of the sixteenth century and the latter part of the fifteenth. Then I became impressed with the wonderful beauty of these volumes, and I began to study and collect Early Printed Books. The dispersion of several of the finest libraries in England gave unexpecied and most favorable opportunities to secure books I is not Claimed that the books described in this Catalogue of this description. It is not in the range of probability that collectors will ever again have such facilities in this direction as were given by the sale of the Sunderland, Hamilton Palace, Beckford, Syston Park, and Wodbull Libraries. They con- tained volumes of which bibliographers have written enthusias- tically for a hundred and fifty years, and which were generally supposed to be out of the reach of modern collectors. I was fortunate enough to secure many of the more notable of these precious volumes, and to crown fittingly my acquisition of them by the purchase of the most remarkable of all printed books, as it is the first—the Gutenberg Bible. In selecting these examples of early typographical work I have always tried to get books which were not only beautiful and in fine condition but which were inherently valuable. Next to the Gutenberg Bible the oldest printed volume in the collection is the Catholicon of Balbus. It is the fourth book printed with a date (1460), and is the first lexicon or dittionary published. The‘ De Officiis’’ of Cicero is remarkable as being the first classic printed and as exhibiting the first example of Greek charaéters in print, all previous passages having been written in. The col- lection contains three other First Editions of Cicero. There are to be found also the only known copy of the first printed Arithmetic, the First Editions of Apuleius, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Boccaccio, Cesar, St. Chrysostom, Columbus, Cortes, Euclid, Euripides, Hesiod, Homer, Horace, Lactantius, Lascaris (the first book printed in Greek), Peter Martyr, Nepos, Petrarch, Pindar, Plato, Plautus, Pliny, Plutarch, Ptolemy, Seneca, Tacitus, Theocritus, Vespucius, and Virgil. It must be borne in mind that these volumes were printed direéily from manuscripts and that they have, therefore, the same impor- tance, virtually, as the original classical codices. No matter what may be the estimation in which public opinion bolds a classical education, such books as these will possess an attraction for intelligent men and women for all time. They represent the great leaders in Fiction, Poetry, Mathematics, Philosophy, Theology, History, and Travel, and they are the very foundation-stones of the literature of the cultivated world. Tbe collection is strong in typograpbical rarities. It con- tains, in addition to those already named, the first three and the only books printed by Jobn of Spira, the first printer of Venice ; the first book printed in Italy ; one by the first printers of Paris ; one in which signatures were used for the first time ; the first volume issued in octavo form ; the first book printed by the stereotype process; and many others of almost equal interest. Next in importance are the Americana. At the bead of the list stands the unique copy of Columbus’s Letter in Spanish to Luis de Sani Angel, which | believe to be the earliest printed report of Columbus’s first voyage. Then follow the two editions in Latin, one of which Harrisse claims to be the first of all the Latin editions, while Major makes the same claim for the other. With them is to be found also the equally rare edition in German. After these come the Voyages of Vespucius and of Cortes, the Works of Peter Martyr, the Voyages of Nunez Cabeca de Vaca, of Laudonniére, Jacques Cartier, Oviedo, Hakluyt, De Bry, Champlain, Garcilasso de la Vega, Captain Jobn Smith and others. The rarest of the accounts of the settlements made in this country by the English and French during the seven- teenth century are also to be found in the collection. The copy of Eliot’s Indian Bible, which is usually classed under Americana, is next in interest, perhaps, to Gutenberg’s great work. Of the books printed in England, Caxton’s edition of Higden’s Polychronicon stands first. It came from a dealer who described it as the best of the six known perfect copies. Wynkyn de Worde is represented by the Vitas Patrum and The Seven Penitential Psalms. The rare and beautiful first English edition of The Ship of Fools is an example of Richard Pynson’s skill, and Arnold’s Chronicle of London, printed by Peter Treveris, compares favorably with it. Among the works of Shakespeare are to be found six of the Quarto editions, the four Folios, the Poems, and a copy of the Venus and Adonis of which only one other copy is known, and that, being in the British Museum, is beyond the reach of the collector. There are also First Editions of Shirley, Massinger, Peele, Daniel, Ben Jonson, Milton, Burns, Keats, and Shelley. The last named volume bas a personal feature of the greatest interest, which is not mentioned in the Catalogue. It is a presentation copy from Shelley to Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, and contains more than a page of ber writing, in which she inscribes her admiration and love of Shelley. Among the French books are included the illustrated works which were published in the latter part of the eighteenth century, and which are remarkable for grace of design and perfection of execution. When the drawings of Eisen, Moreau, Monnet, Denon, Lebarbier, and others, were skillfully engraved on copper, then printed on fine paper, and the whole bound with that taste for which the French binders are proverbial, the result was a book which for artistic beauty bas never been excelled. It is not improper to say that I have exercised fastidious care in the selection of these volumes, and that they are in the finest possible condition. The study of Early Printed Books took me naturally to Manuscripts, and while I have not made any efforts to collect a great number, I have tried to secure representative examples of the English, French, and Italian schools. The Pembroke Book of Hours is not surpassed, probably, by any manuscript of English execution in any private collection in the world. The smaller manuscripts, while less important, are equally interest- ing as Specimens of the skill of medieval scribes and tllumina- tors. It is instructive to compare the French examples with the Books of Hours printed at Paris about the beginning of the sixteenth century. In some cases, only a careful examination will enable one to detect the differences between the written and the printed volumes. Mingled with the rarities above described will be found a goodly number of essays, histories, books of poetry, and works on political economy. Without laying claim to much know- ledge I can say truthfully that my acquaintance with my books bas not been confined to their exteriors or to their typographical peculiarities. They have comforted me after many a weary day, and have stood often in the place of friends. I can hope nothing better for them and for their future owners than that they may receive as watchful care and give as much pleasure as while in my possession. ee: New-York, January, 1891.

The binding is a good and well preserved specimen of the French work of the last cen- tury. The book is in excellent condition and is enclosed in a morocco case. This little volume will be esteemed chiefly because it came from the library of the unfortu- nate QUEEN MARIE ANTOINETTE and bears her arms. Butit hasa considerable intrinsic value, inasmuch as it gives minute descriptions of Versailles, Trianon, ‘‘ Le Petit Trianon,” etc., and lists of the names of the King’s and Queen's attendants. It gives a vivid picture of the enor- mous expense necessary to carry on the royal household, and goes far to explain the restlessness of the French people under the taxation necessary to provide funds for such lavish expenditure. — 11 AMBERLEY (VISCOUNT).—An ANALYSIS of RELIGIOUS BELIEF.

Sm. 4°. ‘THE FIRST ARITHMETIC PUBLISHED, and apparently never seen by Dr. Peacock or by Professor De Morgan, who cites it only on the authority of writers on the subject who proba- bly had merely heard of its existence. The only bibliographer who appears to have been per- sonally acquainted with its existence was Federici, who describes the work in his ‘Memorie Tre- vigiane’ (p. 73) and ascribes it to the press of Michiele Manzolo, one of the earliest of Treviso printers. As, however, the copy mentioned by Federici has since been lost, stolen, or mislaid, subsequent bibliographers have doubted or denied its existence and considered his statement as a blunder, more especially as in spite of the most diligent search by Brunet and other philobiblists, no copy could be discovered in the Bibliothéque Nationale, British Museum, Bodleian, or any other library, public or private.” The condition of the volume is generally good, with wide margins and untrimmed edges. But on some of the pages are manuscript figures which indicate that the boy of four hundred years ago ‘‘wrestled’’ with tne problems just as his successors have done. It is not possible, however, to get a better copy, as this is, so far as known, UNIQUE.

FIRST EDITION, AND oF THE HIGHEST DEGREE OF RARITY. It begins with the TABLE, which occupies 12 leaves; then follows the TEXT on 257 leaves, ending on the recto, second column, of the last, with the words DEO GRATIAS. ny Some copies are without these last two mysterious words, which are supposed to signify, ‘‘ Godt allein die Ehre’”’ (Zo God alone the Honor). There are neither numerals, signatures, catchwords, nor prefixes to the chapters. The first page is painted in FLOWER SCROLLS and illuminated, and the large INITIALS at the beginning of each book (22 in number) are finely painted and illumi- nated. The present is a fine, large copy, clean and sound, with rough edges, excepting the last two leaves, which have been repaired. Size 14% x 11 inches. Bound in old red morocco, double paneled sides, gilt borders, with corner ornaments. *,** This edition was printed in the Monastery at Subiaco, and is the ¢kivd known produc- tion of that Monastic Press. From the exact resemblance of its types to those of the edition of LACTANTIUS, executed two years before, in the same Monastery, and from both these works being expressly noticed by SWEYNHEYM and PANNARTZ among the earliest of their produc- tions (in the list of works prefixed to their edition of DE Lyra’s Commentary printed in 1472), there is every probability to conclude that these artists were the printers of the present work. MEERMAN tells us ‘‘he turned over the leaves of this book, in the exquisite Library of the EARL of SUNDERLAND, in the year 1759," and agrees with MAITTAIRE in assigning it to the Subla- censian Press. (‘‘ Orig. Typog.'’ Vol. II. £p. 245-6.) DIBDIN describes this splendid volume as being ‘‘one of those choice specimens of rare ancient printing which a tastefu! collector rejoices to place in his library."’ (‘‘ Bib2.

A good account of this pungent satire on ‘‘ Female Fools ’’ is found in WRIGHT'S ‘‘History of Caricature and Grotesque,” etc., Lond., 1864, pp. 223-4: ‘‘ The first cut represents the ship carrying Eve alone of the female race, whose folly involved the whole world. The book is divided into five chapters, according to the number of the five senses, each sense represented by a boat carrying its particular class of foolish women to the great ship of foolish women, which lies off at anchor. The text consists of a dissertation on the use and abuse of the particular sense which forms the substance of the chapter, and it ends with Latin verses, which are given as the boatman’s celeusma, or boat song.” 41 BALL AND KENNEDY.— PEAKS, PASSES, anp GLACIERS.

It contains 373 leaves, which number is correct according to PANZER, HAIN, and BRUNET; but DiBpIN makes the copy he describes in ‘‘ Bibl. Spenceriana”’ to contain 375 leaves, evidently trusting to the pencil numbers to which he refers. The Capitals and Initials throughout the volume are painted in red and blue. This magnificent volume, which is attributed to the press of JOHN GUTENBERG, is regarded as the FOURTH BOOK PRINTED WITH A DATE; and its extraordinary rarity and value have been mentioned by most Bibliog- raphers. Its importance is largely due to the fact that it is the FIRST LEXICON or diction- ary ever published. The present copy is an exceedingly fine one; the leaves measure 16x 11% inches. It is sound and perfect in every leaf, and nearly as clean as if it had but just been issued from the press.

THE FIRST ‘BOCwm PRIME ED With TYPES. THE BIBLE IN LATIN, WITH THE PROLOGUE OF SAINT JEROME. THE FIRST EDITION. Gothic tppe: Aundreds of illuminated capital letters, brilliantly colored and decorated, many of them heightened with gold. Two volumes folio, MENTZ: Joannes Gutenberg. [1450-1455 ?] In the original binding, thick oak boards covered with stamped calf, orna- mented brass corners and center-pieces, with bosses ; many leaves with uncut edges; measuring 11% by 157% inches on the leaf. Without title pages, pagination, or signatures ; 641 leaves printed in double columns, 42 lines toa full column ; the initials and rubrics in manuscript throughout, The first vol- ume contains 324 leaves (of which one is in facsimile) and ends with the Psalms ; the second has 317 leaves (sixteen in facsimile ). “The honor of producing the first and, as many think, the most perfect book, is now ascribed to Gutenberg alone, Fust not coming in for a share of the credit of the invention until after his famous lawsuit in 1455, when the Bible had been finished. We call it, therefore, the Gutenberg Bible, and have no sympathy for any French name given to it simply because a copy found in a Paris library had the honor of being described by a French bookseller.’’"— H. STEVENS (in Caxton Celebration Catalogue). It was known formerly as the ‘‘ Mazarin Bible’’ from the fact that the earliest published description of it was based on a copy discovered by De Bure in the Mazarin Library. While it is impossible to fix with accuracy the date of the appearance of this first printed book, it is generally believed to have been published between 1450 and 1455. That it was not later than 1456 is shown by a MS. note which is in the copy in the National Library in Paris which states that it was ‘‘illuminated, bound and completed on the day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary [Aug. 15], 1456, by Henricus Albrech, adias Cremer," Vicar of the Collegiate Church of St. Stephen at Mayence. Some copies, which may be called a SECOND ISSUE, have 4o lines on each of the first eight pages, 41 on the ninth, and the rest 42. In the later issue the three red lines at the beginning are iz type, and not iz manuscript as in the 42-line issue. In the first volume of this copy the beginning of the prologue to the Pentateuch (recto of 4th leaf), of the book of Genesis (recto of 5th leaf), and the title and finis (Zcifit and Explicit) of each of the books, from Genesis to Ruth, inclusive, are rubricated iz manuscript, not printed. The Gutenberg Bible, as Dibdin remarks in his description of Earl Spencer's copy, has been ‘‘ justly praised for the strength and beauty of the paper, the exactness of the register, the luster of the ink, and the general splendor and magnitude of the volumes.'’ In Asher's announcement, in 1873, the present copy is claimed to be the most beautiful of all known copies on paper. ‘‘It is not only the fad/est and almost wacut copy, but it is of remarkable fresh- ness and purity, and though it has never been subjected to washing, is without the least stain. One sees by the costliness of its binding and by the beauty of its painted initials, heightened with gold and decorated in arabesques, that it was intended for the library of some prince or great nobleman. This exceptional excellence brought it ill-fortune, for some barbarian or crazed amateur has taken from it a few leaves, doubtless for the sake of their capital letters.” By extraordinary good luck some ancient paper was found like that on which the Bible was printed, and the missing leaves were reproduced by photolithographic facsimile with such success that it is not easy to distinguish them. ‘The copy is so nearly uncut that many of the manuscript cues for the rubricator are preserved at the extreme upper margins of the leaves. 5 30 Catalogue of Books and Manuscripts: On the outer margins can be seen also the holes made by the pins by which the sheets were fastened while going through the press. ‘It is, in other words, just as it came from the press and the hands of the great Inventor of Printing, and, so far as known, is in this respect UNIQUE. The only other copy of this Bible in the United States is in the Lenox Library ; that, however, is one of the ‘‘ forty-line '’ edition above referred to, and generally regarded as later than this. A copy was sold in December, 1884, in London, for £3,900. It was much smaller than this copy, and was in modern binding. The compiler of a catalogue should guard against eulogistic description, but it is difficult to restrain one’s enthusiasm while contemplating these magnificent volumes. Gutenberg may have failed in his preliminary trials, but if so, he concealed the fact. So far as we know, he worked patiently until his standard was reached, and then gave to the world a work which as a first production must always be regarded as the most wonderful triumph of inventive genius known to history. Although nearly four and a half centuries have passed since its publication, this book still stands preéminent as a specimen of the printer’s skill; and there is no reason to believe that the coming centuries will produce anything which will deprive it of the position it now holds.

BEDFORD. This Translation of the Bible by John Eliot is scarcely inferior in interest to the noble work of Gutenberg above described. As an instance of learning, industry, piety and zeal it is unexcelled. The Old World was indebted to Gutenberg for its first printed Bible, and Eliot was the first to give it to the New World. Cotton Mather exclaimed, when he saw it, ‘‘ Behold, ye Americans, the greatest honour that ever you were partakers of! This .. . is the only Bible that ever was printed in all America, from the very foundation of the World.’’ Mr. Eliot was the pastor of Roxbury, Mass., when he commenced, at the age of forty-two, the study of the Natick dialect, in which this work is printed. He began his task in 1650 and finished it after a labor of eight years. The printing of the Old Testament was commenced in 1660 and the work was completed in 1663. The printers required a week for each sheet, and there were about a hundred and fifty sheets. The names of the Books are retained as in the English versions, and such words as were unknown to the Indians are retained with an Indian termination, such as cherubim/af, etc. The longest word is, Mark i, 40: Wutteppesittukqussunnoowehtunkquoh, signifying ‘‘ kneeling down to him.” This is one of the copies having the DEDICATION TO KING CHARLES, of which, according to Thomas (‘‘ //is¢. of Printing’), TWENTY COPIES ONLY were printed. It is absolutely perfect and in matchless condition. It is so nearly uncut that proof leaves are to be found at every few pages. 71 BIBLE, ELIOT’S INDIAN.—A Translation [by J. H.

At the top and bottom of the pages are descriptive sentences and quotations from the Prophets, engraved in block.

This handsome volume is commonly known as QUEEN ELIZABETH’S PRAYER-BOOK, in consequence of the large woodcut portrait of the Queen, on the reverse of the title, in the attitude of prayer. The work is elegantly printed within ornamental woodcut borders, in imitation of the French ‘‘ Books of Hours,” and is remarkable as being the only English book of the kind. The borders contain scenes from the Old and New Testament, the Apocalypse, illustrations of the Cardinal Virtues, and the Dance of Death, which last contains specimens of the costumes of all ranks in the time of ELIZABETH and JAMESI.

JACQUES CARTIER was the discoverer of the mainland of Canada. He made his first voyage up the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the summer of 1534, and in the following year ascended the river as far as the present site of Montreal. A third voyage was made in 1540, Few histories of early voyages are as rare as those of CARTIER’S. The original account of the first voyageis . lost, and the earliest version of it is preserved only in the Collection of Ramusio. From this, the present translation was made, which in turn was translated into French and printed at Rouen in 1598. Of the account of the second voyage but one copy is known, and that is in the British Museum. Of the third voyage no copy of the original French edition is known, but it appears in fragmentary form in the collections of Hakluyt and Purchas. This English translation of the second voyage is so rare that it was unknown to Herbert, and is not men- tioned by Brunet or Graesse. In addition to its rarity ithas great intrinsic worth and must therefore always be regarded as one of the gems ina collection of Americana. The present copy is the only one which has been offered at public sale in this country, and but two others are known here. This is perfect and in excellent condition.

No feature of the American portion of this collection is more remarkable and rare than this series of Champlain's voyages. A similar set has not been offered at public or private sale in this country or in Europe in the present generation.

It is surrounded by a brilliant border of arabesque pattern, in which is a medallion containing a wonderfully executed head of Cicero. The large initial letter ‘‘N "' is in red and blue and gold. The paper, with wide margins, the ink, and the general typographical excellence of the work justify the care which has been bestowed on the binding and ornamentation by its former illustrious owners. 66 Catalogue of Books and Manuscripts.

These RARE TRACTS are evidently all from one press, and that the PRESS OF ULRIC ZEL AT COLOGNE. Until the discovery of the Opuscula of CHRYSOSTOM, the last tract in the volume was thought to be ZEL’s first dated book. This copy is described by MEERMAN in his ‘‘ Ovigines Typog."' (Vol. I., ~. 58, note i.,) to whom it was shown in 1759, and who also gives a facsimile of the type. These Tracts exhibit probably some of the earliest effortsof ULRIC ZELinCOLOGNE.

I am well nigh disposed to call it the chef d'euvre of the VAL- DARFER press.’’ The last words, ‘‘ LODO CARBO," are supposed by PANZER, TIRA- BOSCHI, and SANTANDER to signify the name of LoDOVICUS CARBO, vel KOHL, the editor, or corrector of the press, in Valdarfer’s office.

To those who have struggled over the cheap and bleared copies which modern presses turn out for the use of schools and colleges, this work, with its broad margins, brilliant black ink, exquisitely engraved initials, and clearly cut diagrams, must come as a revelation of beauty. And even from bibliographers few books have won more enthusiastic praise than Ratdolt’s Euclid. It is the first book in which mathematical diagrams appeared. ‘This copy belonged to the Duc de la Valiére, and was bought in 1784 by M. Wodhull, who states ina note that the mending of the first two leaves was done by ROGER PAYNE.

One vol. sm. 4°; bound in calf, with arms of DE THOU stamped on the sides, Numerous and curious woodcuts illustrating the horrible tortures inflicted on Christian martyrs. This volume comes from the collection of the celebrated bibliophile JACQUES AUGUSTE DE THOU, the friend of Grolier and one of the most remarkable book collectors of the XVIth Cen- tury. His arms are on the sides, flanked by those of MARIE DE BRABANGON-CANY, whom he married in 1587. The monogram under the arms is J. A. and JZ, (Jacques Auguste, Marie), and is repeated seven times on the back. Books from this collection are rare. Begun about the middle of the XVIth Century, this library was kept by his son, after de Thou’s death, and passed into the hands of appreciative heirs. In 1789 the Princes de Rohan were compelled through heavy losses to dispose of it. The sale of the books began January 12, and lasted until May 22, 1789. 4 wf 348 GARCILASSO DE LA VEGA (el Ynca).— LA FLORIDA | DEL YNCA. | HISTORIA DEL ADELANTA- | do Hernando de Soto, Gouernador y capi- | tan general del Reyno de la Florida, y de | otros heroicos caualleros Efpafioles é | Indios ; efcrita por el Ynca Garcilaffo | de la Vega, capitan de fu Mageftad, | natural de la gran ciudad del Coz- | co, cabeca de los Reynos y | prouincias del Peru. | Dirigida al ferenifsimo Principe, Duque de Braganga, &c.

Nothing is calculated to give one a more vivid idea of the rapid and wonderful growth of this country than the perusal of these simple accounts of the sufferings of white prisoners at the hands of the Indians. It seems incredible that within such a comparatively short time those parts of the country which had been settled longest should have been at the mercy of savages. But these brief histories tell their tales with a directness which leaves no room for doubt as to their trustworthiness. : - 403 HARCOVRT (ROBERT).—A | RELATION | OF A VOYAGE | TO GVIANA. | Describing the Climat, [s7c] | Scituation, fertilitie, proui- fions and commodities | of that Country, containing feuen Prouinces, and | other Signiories within that Territory: Together, | with the manners, cuf- tomes, behauiors, and | difpofitions of the people. | 7ezformed by Roper?

A very large copy, measuring 13% by 9% inches, quite perfect, with beautifully illuminated capitals throughout (several of which contain the arms of a former owner), the margins and fly-leaves enriched with the valuable MS. notes of the ABBE BIGNON, to whom the book was presented by VINCENT FRANGOIS JEUNE, ‘of Marseilles. The work commences with two prefaces, one in Latin by BERNARDUS NERLIUS, on the recto of the first leaf; the other by CHALCONDYLES the Editor, in Greek, commencing on the verso of the same leaf. The Latin preface ends with these words : “ Vale. FLORENTIAE Idibus Tanuariis, M.CCCC.LXXXVIIT.” Then follows the biography of Homer from Herodotus, succeeded by the preface to Plutarch’s biography of the poet. The forty-second leaf is blank, and the ILIAD begins on the recto of the forty-third leaf: IAIAAOS A OMHPOY PAYQAIAS. ending on the verso of the two hundred and sixth leaf as follows: TEAOZ THz O MHPOYT A The second volume begins with the ODyssEy, without preface: OAYTSSEIAZ A OMEPOY PA¥OATAZ The Odyssey occupies one hundred and sixty-one leaves, and is followed by the BATRACHO- MYOMACHIA, occupying four leaves.

The foregoing volumes are thus minutely described because they are, as Dibdin justly says, ‘‘ the boast of every classical collection.’ Bibliographers and scholars have written enthusiasti- cally of them for centuries. They charm alike the student and the lover of beautiful typo- graphical work. ‘The paper, ink, workmanship, and ornamentation form a fitting shrine for the verses of the great poet of antiquity. And the annotations of the Abbé Bignon have a special interest from his wonderful learning and high position.

This is an unusually beautiful and interesting specimen of the Parisian Hore, being in con- temporaneous binding and with all the engravings free from color. To find a copy in such perfect condition is a great rarity, inasmuch as the majority of the books of this class were colored by hand so as to make them resemble, as closely as possible, the manuscript missals of the time. Where this work was performed by skillful artists it added to the brilliant appearance of the volume. But as a rule the colorists were inferior, at this period, to the engravers, and the strong, spirited woodcuts, in their original state, will always present superior attractions to book-lovers. | R/— 470 Heures A lufaige de Paris. @ Ces prefentes heures a lufaigr | de Paris font tout au long fang rié | requerir.

Large 8° ; bound in old crimson morocco, sides filleted, gilt edpes, silver clasps. This is not only the finest Book of Hours, printed on vellum, in the present collection, but it would be difficult to equal it anywhere. Only two other copies are recorded: one in the Didot collection, the other in the library of St. Géneviéve in Paris. Both of these, however, lack the last fourteen leaves, which are to be found in this copy. The vellum is especially good, the printing unusual in its excellence, and the coloring is worthy of a miniaturist of the first class. The Dance of Death, hunting scenes, and quaint conventional figures compose the borders. The whole volume, in short, shows the greatest care and skill on the part both of the printer and the artist. It has the Calendar from 1508 to 1528. da _ 472 HORE diue virginis Marie secidum vsum Ro- | manum . . . .

This is in many respects the most beautiful printed Book of Hours in the collection. The designs are by GEOFROY TorRY, and are in his best style. Every page is surrounded by a border, and there are thirteen full-page engravings. All of the capitals are printedin red. In addition to this, the binding is an exceptionally fine and perfect example of contemporaneous workmanship. The book as a whole makes a bibliographical treasure such as any collector counts himself happy to possess. The whole inclosed ina morocco case, lined with velvet. er 478 LE LIVRE D’ HEURES de la Reine ANNE DE BRETAGNE. Traduit du Latin et accompagné de notices inédites par M.

This is a brilliant and faithful reproduction of an exquisite book. No manuscript in the world surpasses the famous Hours of Anne of Brittany in brilliancy of coloring, accuracy of drawing, or beauty of design. The borders represent flowers taken from the garden of the Queen, and the Scriptural scenes are depicted with marvelous dexterity. Although this book was published nearly fifty years ago it cannot be excelled to-day as an example of skillful chromo-lithographic work. There is also a volume of descriptive text. Both volumes are inclosed in a case lined with quilted silk. 148 Catalogue of Books and Manuscripts.

This was supposed until recently to be the first book printed in Boston. The map which it contains is the first one engraved in New England. The present copy is perfect and has the genuine map in fine condition. It isso rare in this state that while Mr. Brinley had several copies not one of them was perfect. The author was especially qualified to act as the historian of the thrilling experiences he describes. His account of them is graphic and comparatively free from the mannerisms and prejudices which mar the writings of some of his contemporaries. Such volumes are the foun- dation of our knowledge of these stirring times, and their value both to the student and the amateur must continually increase. 484 HUBBARD (REV.

Old French red morocco extra, leather joints, silk linings, gilt edges, lettered ‘‘ Manuscri.” This, as an artistic monument, is equal to a fine illuminated MS. The borders and figures and painted ornaments are extremely elegant, and include some work in fine camaieu-rouge. Among the animal figures there is one of an elephant, and another of a bear walking off with a man and his spear over his shoulder. There are MS. additions, evidently made for the Cardinal, on the blank leaves of the book to supply certain offices not included in the original impression. This Breviary on vellum is not excelled by any of the magnificent productions of Jenson’s press. The illuminations give it the appearance of one of the grand old Manuscript Breviaries. The binder was evidently deceived by the resemblance when he stamped ‘‘ Manuscri’’ on the back of the volume.

SUBIACO: 1465. Folio; bound in red morocco extra, sides and back richly gilt, gilt edges. From the Beckford Library. This volume commands attention as the FIRST EDITION of the FIRST KNOWN BOOK PRINTED IN ITALY. It marks the beginning, therefore, of an era in the history of typography second in importance only to that begun by the printing of the Gutenberg Bible. Taken all in all, the work of the Italian printers stands unequaled, and is likely to remain so. Two of Fust’s workmen, Conrad Sweynheym and Arnold Pannartz, settled at the Mon- astery of Subiaco, thirteen miles from Rome, and published this Lactantius in 1465. It is printed with characters not before used in the printing press, and much like those found in the Italian manuscripts of the period. Unlike the angular Gothic types, they were rounded in form, and were the remote parents of those modern types which are to this day known among Catalogue of Wooks and Manuscripts. 165 printers as Roman. Here are found also the first passages of Greek printed with movable types. It is an extremely regular and fine piece of printing, especially remarkable as a first attempt in a new and foreign locality. It is illuminated throughout by hand, and has many capital letters heightened by gold leaf laid on after the manner of ancient manuscripts. It con- tains the Table and Errata, and is perfect in every respect. ; This is a marked instance of the pains taken by the early printers to select notable books for reproduction. Lactantius wrote in the early part of the fourth century, and from the relig- ious character of his works and the finished elegance of his style he has been called the ‘« Christian Cicero.” : Wiz 544 LACTANTIUS.— L.

MCCCCLXXVI. Die XXX Ianuarii. All bibliographers agree in the opinion that this is one of the RAREST BOOKS in existence. In the preface to the ALDINE edition of 1494-9 (the first book printed at the celebrated ALDINE press) it is stated that, even at that time, ‘‘ NO COPIES OF THIS EDITION COULD BE PRO- CURED, AFTER THE MOST DILIGENT SEARCH.” The famous Greek scholar, Dr. Charles Burney, considered it ‘‘ the most rare and valuable book in his collection.’’ After the Doctor's death it was estimated at £600, and purchased at this sum by the authorities of the British Museum. Before the printing of this book, vacant spaces were usually left in books for the insertion of the Greek passages with a pen. DEMETRIUS Cvefensis, so called from being a native of Crete, wasof very important service in the editing of the first Greek books. Besides this First EDITION of LASCARIS, he assisted DEMETRIUS CHALCONDYLAS in the Editio Princeps of HoMER, published at Florence, 1488. He was afterwards employed by CARDINAL XIMINES on the Complutensian Polyglot. The preface of DEMETRIUS to this First Greek book is exceed- ingly curious, and is addressed ‘‘ Jngenuis ftudiofiffimis adole/cétibus.'’ ‘The type is of a medium size, resembling the manuscripts of those days, and has been followed in the first AXsop, the first Lexicon of JOHANNES CRASTONUS, and the Florentine HOMER of 1488.

He made himself obnoxious to the people of Virginia, and sought refuge in Maryland, where he Was well received by Sir William Talbot, who, ‘‘finding him a modest and ingeni- ous person and a pretty scholar,”’ says, ‘‘I thought it common Justice to give him an occasion of vindicating himself from what I had heard of him; which truly he did with so convincing reason and circumstance, as quite abolished those former impressions in me, and made me desire this account of his travels, which here you have faithfully rendered out of Latine from his owne writings, with an entire map of the Territory he traversed.’’— Preface. A copy at the Griswold sale in New York a few years since brought $315. This is an UNCUT copy of this very rare book. The map is in exceptionally good con- dition. * Sa 574 LE GRAND (J.

This num- ber consists of a volume of a collection of ‘‘ Chansons et Motets'’ which was arranged for five, six, and eight voices in Latin, French, Italian, and Dutch, with the music. It is written on paper, and was executed for Henry II. of France and Diana of Poitiers. The date, 1552, is inserted in a large ornamental capital at folio 145. This volume, from the fineness of the design of its binding and the interest of its original ownership, is one of the most important examples of its kind that has ever been offered for sale. It brought at the sale of M. Léopold Double in 1863 five thousand two hundred and fifty francs. In addition to its acquired historical interest, the book is of considerable importance in itself in regard to the history of music, on account of its table of contents, which gives the names of various French composers of the sixteenth century, among whom will be found: Phil. de Wildre, Cresquillon, Ch. Chastelain, Ciprian de Rose, and Anthoine Gally. The heraldic ‘‘ex libris” of the celebrated bibliophile, M. Double, will be found on the front inside cover, where are the following MS. notes in his handwriting: ‘‘ Voir da date de 1552, page 145, p. 97, hymne par Charles VITI., p. 75, 77, 82, 186 Clement Marot. p. 172, Diane a Flenri I1., p. 187, Frangois I.”’ The marvelously beautiful and original French binding, of a semi-Maioli, semi-Grolier style, was doubtless designed for King Henry II. by ‘‘ Le Petit Bernard." The sides and back are painted and inlaid in colored enamels and leathers. Both sides are covered with green floriated, conventional Gothic ornaments and an intersecting design in black and white, the parallel lines of which are pointillé in the centers. The middle of the fore side has a large heraldic and allegorical design of circular shape, in the center of which is a shield of the royal arms of France, above which is a regal crown. Depending from the upper portion of the shield are a collar of ‘‘SS’’ and cockle-shells, from which also hangs the jewel of the Order of St. Louis. Amid silver fointi//é ornamentations are the monogram ‘‘H. D." interlaced, three silver half-moons, a large crescent silver moon, allusive to the chaste goddess Diana, and the 24* 184 Catalogue of Wooks and Manuseripts. king's initial ‘‘H"’ twice repeated. On the other side, in the middle of a circle and upon a square scroll, is the word ‘‘BaAssvs."’ The back is enameled in black and white, and tooled in gilt. The design is lozenge-shaped, chequered. ‘The edges areas fine a specimen of gauffered work as can be found. It is a floriated and interlaced design, poindil/é throughout. This binding is reproduced in Joseph Cundall’s ‘‘ Bookbindings, Ancient and Modern.” It is there styled ‘‘ Recueils de Chansons et Motetts, with the Arms and Monograms of Henry II. and Diana of Poitiers. Binding of the Middle of the XVI. Century,’”’ and is presented in that authority as a representative example of a ‘‘Diane de Poitiers reliure.'’’ The eminent bibliopegist writes: ‘‘ Diana of Poitiers, the mistress of Henry II. of France, devoted much attention to the binding of her books; perhaps those executed for her are the finest speci- mens ever produced; probably they were designed by ‘Le Petit Bernard’ (Bernhard Salomon of Lyons), who also made drawings for her jewels. They were usually engraved with a bow and crescent, sometimes with an arrow rising from a tomb with the motto ‘Sola vivit in illo.’ On the love offerings from the king an ‘H’ is worked in with a crown and fleur- de-lis. The practice of inscribing mottos on books was very usual. There is a beautiful book mentioned in Dibdin's ‘ Decameron,’ which was published by Aldus. It is bound in fine Italian olive binding, with the device of a serpent entwining a ring and a motto, ‘ Scilicet es superis labor est.’ On many of Henry's own books are stamped and interwoven the initials ‘H’ and ‘D’ of his own and mistress’s names, with crescents, bows, quivers, and other symbols of the chase appropriate to a lady bearing the name of Diana. (Many of the ornaments on the pottery of Oiron known as Faience de Henri II. were evidently stamped with bookbinder’s tools.) On some of his books the ‘H’ is interwoven with a ‘C,’ and in this case the latter initial is that of his wife, Catherine de Medicis.’ ve. 621 CHANT BOOK or tHe CATHOLIC CHURCH SERVICE, the Mass, etc., on VELLUM, illuminated in gold and colors, rubricated, and with the score.of the music.

He retired to the desert of Chalcis in 374, and became a priest at Antioch four years later. For three years afterward he lived at Constantinople in close intimacy with Gregory Nazianzus. In 382 St. Jerome came to Rome and acted as the secretary of Pope Damasius, engaging in his great work of biblical revision. He was celebrated chiefly for his Pelagian controversies, and died on September 30 in the year 420. Erasmus edited his works.

Written for WILLIAM HERBERT, First Earl of Pembroke, about 1440, and enriched with 267 miniatures, besides hundreds of capital letters in gold and colors, the whole written on 195 leaves of VELLUM. Folio; bound in boards covered with red velvet, silver clasps and bosses engraved with scriptural scenes after the manner of the Italian niello work. The volume really consists of three parts. At the beginning are inserted twenty leaves of vellum, on the first of which is emblazoned the coat-of-arms of WILLIAM HERBERT, Ear] of Pembroke. On the following leaf is a full-length portrait of the Earl, clad in silver armor, 188 Catalogue of Books and MWanusrripts. kneeling at a prie-dieu before an altar. The fifteen additional leaves bound up at the end of the volume contain prayers in English, written in a bold Gothic character of the sixteenth century. These prayers were written by QUEEN CATHERINE PARR, whose sister was the first wife of WILLIAM HERBERT, Earl of Pembroke, and who may have written them specially for the use of her brother-in-law, the Earl. The margins of the Calendar contain many interesting entries, from which it is evident that the owner was a stout adherent of the Yorkists, as all the battles chronicled there are Lancastrian defeats. This would agree well with the ownership of the Earl of Pembroke, who was a devoted adherent of the cause of the Duke of York, and who was beheaded by the Lancastrians on the day following his defeat at Banbury in 1469. The Rose of York is prominent in the decoration. It is impossible to do justice to the merits of this volume by a verbal description. In the opinion of the most competent living authorities on such matters the whole work was executed in England. This adds greatly to its importance and value, owing to the rarity of English manuscripts of this period. The chirography is most exact, the ink is lustrous, the drawing of the miniatures is unusually correct, and the colors are of exceptional brilliancy. Its condition, moreover, is faultless. The binding alone has artistic merit sufficient to give the volume a high standing. Taken all in all, it is unquestionably the most beautiful and important manu- script of English execution outside of the British Museum. It ranks in the same class with the Bedford and Grimani Missals and the Hours OF ANNE OF BRITTANY. In beauty of work- manship, and in fact in everything except historical associations, it far excels the Missal of CHARLES VI. which sold for 76,000 francs at the sale of the DIDOT Collection. It is remarkable both for breadth of design and-minuteness of finish. ‘The large full-page painting on fol. 131 is of most admirable execution. It gives a conventional view of the city of Jerusalem, and portrays three great events in the Passion of our LoRD. In the center we see, in a sort of open alcove, with steps leading up to it, CHRIST blindfolded and buffetted, the figures of his eight tormentors being drawn with great skill. On the right, in another chamber open to the street, is seen PILATE washing his hands; six attendants stand around, and in the street are four other spectators, who look into the hall with an anxious expression that is depicted with marvelous skill. At the top of the page, on the greensward of a hill above the buildings, we see the Crucifixion; a group of six figures stand around the cross, two of them being on horseback, and on the left St. JOHN supports the BLESSED VIRGIN, who is fainting. A soldier pierces our LORD in the left-side with a spear. In the distance is indicated a com- pany of armed men, The whole is surrounded by a border composed of flowers and conven- tional figures.

Folio; bound in brown morocco extra, with elaborate tooling in GROLIER Style, inside panel of maroon morocco, gilt edges, by HARDY. “THe First EDITION. The estimation in which Peter Martyr was held as an historian is shown by the fact that in a period of a hundred years his works were published in Spain, Italy, France, and England. An Italian by birth, he went in 1487 to the Court of Ferdinand and Isabella. He served in their armies during two campaigns, was ordained a priest afterward, and became tutor to their children. He was at one time an Ambassador, and later on a Privy Counsellor. Few men have had a wider range of occupation and experience. Soldier, school- master, ambassador, statesman, priest, historian, and a gossiping man of letters, he touched humanity at nearly every point. He delighted in the society of great men and was on the most frank and intimate terms with them. To use an expression of his own, he fed with his learning the studious youth of Spain. He was the contemporary of Columbus and Vespucius, and was the first to publish a popular account of the results of their voyages and of the peculiarities of the natives of the New World. This, the first of his historical writings, contains only the first decade, which was republished, together with the second and third, at Alcala, in 1516. Its importance is equaled by its rarity. Harrisse cites but one copy in this country. This copy is from the Barlow Collection, and is the only one which has been offered at public sale in a generation. It is deserving, in every respect, of the regard of scholars and bibliophiles. As the colophon states, it was printed ‘‘ with the greatest care.” It contains the chart which is usually wanting, and which is remarkably correct for the period. Nothing equal to it appeared for a long time after. The volume is bound in a manner worthy of its contents, and it heads fittingly a list of Martyr's works which is equaled only by one other private collection in this country —that of JoHN CARTER BROWN of Providence.

The inner margin of the title-page has been mended. ‘“‘This edition of the first three Decades of Peter Martyr is little known even to the most diligent bibliographers. Brunet mentions an edition of Madrid, 1516, as being noticed in the catalogue of the College of Clermont, which is probably the same book as this, the dedication of Charles V. being dated from Madrid, October, 1516.''— Bibliotheca Grenvilliana. This copy is complete, although it does not contain the sixteen folios of the “ Legationis Babylonicz "’ mentioned by Brunet as being bound with the Grenville copy. That they are not an essential part of the book as originally published is shown by the ‘‘ Finis” at the end of the Third Decade and by the ‘‘Errata.”" The volume is exceedingly rare. Harrisse knew of but two copies in this country. 653 MARTYR (PETER). DE NVPER SVB D. CAROLO REPER tis Insulis, simulq incolarum moribus, R.

This volume ranks next in interest, value, and rarity to the edition of 1511. It is admirably printed in Roman type, with engraved capi- tals. Sometimes a map has been found at the end, but there is no reason to believe that it appeared in the work as originally issued. Brunet makes no mention of it. The map referred to is the same as that in the Solinus Camers of 1520, with the date changed to 1530. It has some words in Dutch which indicate that it was not intended for publication with this book. The present copy is perfect and in unexceptionable condition. It is excessively rare. Neither Field, Menzies, Brinley, nor Barlow had a copy, and that in the Murphy Collection was not perfect. 23 —~ 6535 MARTYR (PETER). PETRI MARTYRIS | aB AncLerta MEDIO- LANEN.

Trumbull writes in that catalogue as follows: ‘‘ No epithet can be too strong to characterize the scarcity of the one imtrouvable which so long escaped the search of American collectors; so rare, that Prince did not secure it for his New England Library, though he could pick up half a dozen Bay Psalm Books; so rare that S. G. Drake, the most indefatigable and successful of collectors, could not find it for his reprint, in 1862, and was obliged to copy even his title-page from the London edition; and so rare that Mr. Sabin himself, when noting the fact (in the Menzies Catalogue) that ‘the New England edi- tion is not mentioned by Lowndes, mor elsewhere, so far as we have been able to ascertain,’ makes the reluctant admission that ‘ perhaps no copy of it exists.’ ’’ Catalogue of Books and Wanuseripts. | 201 Ms Ds — 671 MATHER (INCREASE).—A | Brier History | or THE | WARR | : With the InpIANs in NEw ENcianp, &c.

THE First EDITION. This volume is divided into two parts. The first contains an account of KING in Latin printed in capitals, supposed by some to have been written by Milton, and Latin and Greek tributes. The second part contains the English tributes, and is separated from the first by a distinct title surrounded by heavy black borders: ‘‘ Obsequies to | the memorie | of | Mr. Edward | King, | Anno Dom. | 1638. | Printed by Th. Buck and R. Daniel, | printers to the Universitie of | Cambridge. 1638. ‘« Tycidas’’ comes last in order, and fittingly crowns this remarkable collection of elegies. It is not signed in full, but bears the initials of MILTON. It is the first edition of this celebrated composition, and is extremely rare. A copy brought at Sotheby's, in 1881, £68. It is believed that no copy has since been offered at public sale. This copy is complete in every way, and is in absolutely perfect condition. a7* 208 Catalogue of Books and Wanuseripts.

Mourt’s ‘‘ Relation’ is another of those books usually catalogued as ‘‘the chief corner- stone" of a library of Americana, and as it is one of the earliest accounts of New England history it is not easy to overestimate its importance. But its value is not greater than the difficulty of procuring the book in good condition. It was evidently very popular at the time of its publication, and received careless usage.

He imagined a new method of exciting their attention by composing one himself, in the manner of a Game at Cards, which, in the form of a pleasing recreation, engaged them to pursue the subject, and insensibly surmount the difficulties of this dry and repulsive study. So successful were his endeavours, that the extraordinary and rapid progress of his scholars caused him at first to be suspected as a magician; and, to justify himself, he was obliged to produce his new invented game, and demonstrate to the rectors of the University the means by which such wonders were effected, who not only highly approved, but applauded his invention, and admired it, as something more than human. This game, according to Menes- trier, was composed of 52 cards on which were depicted Bells, Crabs, Fish, Acorns, Scorpions, Turbans, Hearts, Swallows, Suns, Stars, Pigeons, Crescents, Cats, Shields, Crowns, and Ser- pents; but in what manner these objects were applied to the inculcation of logical rules and dialectic terms, we shall not attempt to describe. The success and popularity of this book gave rise at a future period to numerous applications of Cards for purposes of instruction; that Murner’s attempt was the model upon which all subsequent ones were founded, cannot be doubted, and the number of games which were published in the commencement of the seven- teenth century is astonishing. We have seen the attempt renewed in our own times, and there is scarcely a branch of juvenile education which has not been thus treated.’— MARCHAND, “ Dict. Historique,’ ART. MURNER.

Sm. folio; bound in green morocco extra, leather joints, gilt edges, by ROGER PAYNE. This is the First EDITION of this book, which has held for centuries a prominent place in classical literature. Aside from its literary merit, the present copy has an especial charm for the lover of excellent typography. The paper is an unusually good specimen of the work of the fifteenth century, and is as fresh and free from stain as if it had been made within a few years. The ink is lustrous, the registry perfect, and the margins wide. The capital letters are, as usual, painted by hand. But the most attractive feature of the book is, perhaps, the first page. This has been illuminated most beautifully in water-color, by an Italian artist. At the bottom of the page is a spirited picture of a battle between ancient galleys propelled by oars, This, like the remainder of the book, is in perfect preservation. From the libraries of Sir M. Sykes and M. Wodhull. rs A, 727 NEW-ENGLAND PRIMER.—TueE | WNew-England | PRIMER | Improved. | For the more eafy attaining the true | Reading of Englifh. | To which is added, | The Affembly of Divines, | and Mr. Corron’s | Catechifm.. | Boston: Printed and Sold | by S.

The First EDITION of Oviedo’s ‘‘ General and Natural History of the Indies," printed at Seville in 1535. Oviedo lived on this continent upwards of thirty-four years, and crossed the Atlantic not less than twelve times, chiefly on missions to lay the grievances of the colonies, or his own, before the Spanish Court. He was Governor of the Province of Carthagena, and filled other high positions. His intimate personal knowledge of men and events makes his history interesting and of the greatest importance. This volume is complete in itself, although it comprises only the first part of the history, which was continued subsequently. The present copy is perfect, and is in fine condition, excepting that a few leaves have been mended.

Of this, the First EDITION of PLiNy’s Natural History, DIBDIN writes: ‘‘ There are few productions of ancient printing more interesting than the present one; whether we consider the magnificence of its execution, the importance of the publication, or the interest excited by the printer of it."" JOHN DE SPIRA published but three works, of which this is the second. It is a noble volume of about 700 pages, and according to the testimony of the printer’s brother it was executed within the almost incredibly short time of three months. The same authority states that only one hundred copies were struck off. Blank spaces are left for the passages in Greek to be written in by hand, but in some places the Greek is printed. in Roman letter, as in the following curious example, which will be found on the verso of the 79th leaf, Book VIth, fifth line from the bottom: “ Xaxtilipcui carnece comai coe kpturae trata una ciezica.” The present copy is perfect and in unexceptionable condition.

The most interesting feature of this volume is its beautiful binding. The design on the sides represents the arms of the Palatinate of Bavaria in a graceful round cartouche in the center. A wide border surrounds the four sides of the cover. The royal ball, the lion, and the ‘‘ fusel’’ (arms of Bavaria) are found successively in the small cartouches of the border. The back is elaborately tooled, and bears the interlaced letters ‘‘ B. M.” with royal crown gracefully worked into monograms. The elaborate and yet delicate dentelle border on the doublure fittingly completes a binding worthy of any master. Unfortunately, the name of the binder is not to be found on the book. The volume was bound for Marie Hollandine, princess of the Palatinate of Bavaria, who died in 1709, abbess of Maubuisson. @ SF ‘££ — 822 PTOLEMALUS.— PTOLEMA!I COSMOGRAPHIA. VICENCIZ£: 1475.

A BEAUTIFUL COPY OF THE RARE ENGLISH EDITION, with jine portrait of RABELAIS, and the numerous curious plates from the French edition inserted. “It is to RABELAIs that satiric fiction is most deeply indebted. Born at the close of the fifteenth century, when the antagonizing elements of barbarism and civilization were most prominently brought forward to struggle for mastery, Rabelais early embraced the course of modern improvement against the hereditary nonsense which then and now was dignified with the title of ‘Wisdom of our Ancestors.’ The state, the church, the various professions, were filled with solemn blockheads or designing knaves, who looked like owls, chattered like parrots, and plundered like ravens. Rabelais was just the man to flutter this precious system of orni- thology; he had been himself the inmate of the rookeries. An analysis of this immortal work would be of inconvenient length, and after all would displease those acquainted with the great original, and convey no adequate notion of its merits to those enviable persons by whom it is yet unread. There are many pleasures which can be enjoyed only once in this world: the first reading of Rabelais is one of them.'’"— Dr. W. C.

RARE. ‘‘ THE ‘ History of Reynard the Fox’ is one of the earliest and best specimens of satirical romance in the literature of modern Europe. It is admired in youth, and relished in age. The characters are drawn with great discrimination, and sustained with equal spirit; the satires on tyranny, roguery, superstition, and hypocrisy are powerful and pointed. Antiquarians have not settled the precise age or country to which the work belongs, but there is an individuality in the portraits which forces us to believe that they must be resemblances, though we are not acquainted with the originals.’ Dr. W.

The woodcuts on folios 58 and 85 extend beyond the text and are usually cut by the binder. In this copy they are intact, and the volume generally is not only perfect but in exceptionally good condition. ‘S— i410 ZORZI—MADRIGNANO.

Folio; bound in morocco extra, leather joints, gilt edges, by LEWIS. Dibdin says that perfect copies of this impression are of extreme rarity. This copy is from the Dent and Perkins libraries, and is said to be the best of the six perfect copies known. The estimation in which it is held may be inferred from the fact that Lord Charlemont's copy, wanting two leaves, fetched in 1865 £477 15s. 315 316 Addenda. hon 1112 JUSTINIAN.—JUSTINIANI INSTITUTIONES cum Gtossa.

This copy of the Institutes of Justinian, printed on vellum by Jacob Rubeis, is said to be UNIQUE. It is the Pinelli copy, which fetched £36 in 1789. It is a beautiful example of typo- graphical work and is in irreproachable condition. The first page of the text is illuminated with a brilliant miniature, and the capital letters are of the highest order of merit. / 0 ~ 1113 PLUTARCH.—PLUTARCHI VITE PARALLEL, A DIVvERSIS INTERPRETIBUS LATINZ FACTA, A J.

The appearance of the volumes would indicate that the printer appreciated the value of the material intrusted to him, and that he strove to put it into an appropriate form. Ulric Han was one of the first to establish a press at Rome, and he issued many notable works; but the Lives of Plutarch are not excelled by any of them in beauty and grandeur. In the case of the present volumes the labor of the printer was fittingly supplemented by that of the illuminator. The first page of each volume is ornamented with a beautiful border and initial letter in gold and colors. Taken all in all they are superb books and worthy of admiration in every respect. //S0 — 1114 [SHAKESPEARE (WILLIAM).]—VENVS anp ADONIS. Vilia miretur vulgus, mihi flaunus Apollo Pocula Castalia plena ministret aqua. Lonvon: Printed by I. H. and are to be sold by Francis Coules in the Old Baily without Newgate, 1636. 18°; blue morocco extra, gilt edges, by BEDFORD. ONE OF TWO PERFECT COPIES KNOWN, the other being in the British Museum. The latter copy, although described by Lowndes as a fine one, is declared by Mr. Justin Winsor in his Bibliography to be badly stained and soiled and to have a few leaves mended. The present copy, with the exception of a slight mend on the title-page, MAY BE DESCRIBED AS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. There are, from the date of the first edition in 1593 to 1636 inclusive, of all the editions combined, but thirty perfect examples. Most of these are in libraries from which they can never be sold, so that the collector can have little hope of ever procuring a copy. Aside from its rarity, this book has an additional interest from the fact that it is supposed to be the first printed publication from Shakespeare's pen, as is indicated in the dedication which is as follows: ‘*To the Right Honourable, Henry Wriothesly Earle of Sovthampton and Baron of Tich- field. Right Honourable, I know not how I shall offend in dedicating my unpolishd lines to your Lordship, nor how the world will censure me for chusing so strong a prop to support so weake a burthen; onely if your Honour seeme but pleased, I account my selfe highly praised, and Addenda. ary vow to take aduantage of all idle houres, till I have honoured you with some grauer labour. But if the first heire of my inuention proue deformed, I shall be sorry it had so noble a God- Father, and neuer after eare so barren a land, for feare it yeeld me still so bad a haruest. I leaue it to your honourable Suruey, and your Honour to your hearts content; which I wish may alwaies answer your owne wish, and the Worlds hopeful expectation. “‘ Your Honours in all dutie, ‘William Shakespeare.” oy 1115 [HIERONYMUS.| Title, VITAS PATRUM.

This volume contains numerous curious woodcuts by an English artist, which add much to the interest it naturally excites as the work of England’s second great printer. It has many leaves with rough edges, and is complete with the title and last leaf containing Caxton's device and large cut on reverse. It is one of Wynkyn de Worde's most magnificent typographical productions, and has been considered the finest copy in existence. - a | Ai erage fer LL SOF.
