In slip case. Francofvrti ad Moenvm, 1568 ‘| THIS IS A MOST PLEASING VOLUME, in consequence of the intelligent adaptation on the part of the binder, of illustrations in the work by the celebrated Amman, for his splendidly executed inlaid pictorial doublures. A few slight modifications from the printed cut have been made by the inlayer, but the main ideas of the engraver have been marvellously 9 reproduced by the binder, so as to render the work a charming one to OsseSss. ‘ The work itself is the First EDITION, and aside from the binding is most interesting in consequence of the beautiful woodeuts by Jost Amman. It is from the celebrated press of Sigismund Feyerabent, and has a brilliant impression of his device on the last page, with Colophon. [SEE ILLUSTRATION | 51. Virgil. Opera.

Sedani: Typis Ioannis Iansoni, 1625 A CHARMING SPECIMEN OF BINDING, executed about 1740 for Alexander Boswell of Auchinleck. There are broad gold borders on the sides, and a full gilt back. The tooling is mostly pointillé, and one remarkable feature in it is the use of a figure which is at once a heart and a bow, and is over- laid with two arrows. The work was apparently executed in London, but it may have been done at Edinburgh, in which ease it would be classed a chef d’oeuvre of Scottish binding. 52. —— Cl: Clavdianvs. Ex optimorum codicum fide.

Sylve-Ducis: Apud Joannem du Mont, 1689 AN EXCEPTIONALLY CRISP COPY OF THIS RARE BOOK, IN A HANDSOME EARLY EIGHTEENTH CENTURY BINDING. A former scholar-owner has writ- ten on the fly-leaf some notes regarding this volume, which are important enough to quote in full: ‘‘ These elegant Dialogues were written by Bene- detto Bacchimi, who gave an account of them as an Anonymous work in his Letter of 1692. But in his Life (written by himself) he declares him- self the author. *“*It appears that they were published at Modena by Jac. Cantellus, in 82mo, and there was a subsequent edition at Parma 1721 in 12mo. ° “‘The present edition appears to have been printed at Bolduc (Bois le Duc) in 1689, though the Dedication of Henry Copes to the celebrated Magliabeccht is dated 1698! Perhaps the transportation of one figure and the omission of another may account for this, and the date will then eloloceacian (1699).’’ IN A HANDSOME SILVER BINDING 06. BINDING.
