INTRODUCTION. (*) 
 
 The extent of this portion of the Catalogue will be sufficient to explain the 
 delay that has necessarily taken place in its production. In preparing the 
 former portions of the library for sale, the Manuscripts and the specimens of 
 Ancient Bindings distinguished themselves generally even by their outsides 
 from other books, with which they had got mixed up, and, except in some few 
 instances, were readily to be found at the periods fixed for the two former sales. 
 In a very weak state of health to undertake an examination, even the most 
 rapid, of so considerable a mass of books as remained, in order to select those 
 which under every circumstance it was indispensable should be reserved, so as 
 not to renounce entirely the hope of future labours, was an overwhelming task 
 which had often to be interrupted, and which, in spite of various renewals, almost 
 created a fear that strength to complete the undertaking might be withheld. 
 
 For good or for evil the labour is ended. The owner retains about ten 
 thousand volumes, and bids farewell, not withoiat some regret, to those of which 
 this Catalogue furnishes a description. The Collection about to be sold is 
 composed for the most part of Books relative to the Sciences (more particularly 
 Mathematics), and their History, taken in its most extended sense, that is to say, 
 comprising also many works of biography, bibliography, literary history, and even 
 general literature, necessary to shed light on the march of the human mind. 
 
 Persons not in the habit of devoting themselves to researches of this sort, 
 will hardly believe that so considerable a number of books could have Ibeen 
 amassed for the purpose of a special study, and may perhaps be led to imagine 
 that a love of bibliographical curiosities, rather than the desire of studying the 
 history of science, gviided the formation of this new library, which has been 
 gathered together in England within a few years only. Allow the owner to 
 repel such a supposition. With the exception of those booka which every 
 collector is sometimes necessitated to buy in parcels or lots for the sake of 
 procuring a volume long sought for, and thus met by accident mingled with 
 many others, every work has been selected solely for one object, and to augment 
 the sources of research and study. In our day, a host of works devoted to 
 any special science, allows every man who has received a certain amount of 
 education, to trace for himself more or less easily the current of several branches 
 
 * For reasons similar to those stated in the Catalogue of Manuscripts it has been 
 thought advisable to give this Introduction in Frencli and English. 
 
INTRODUCTION. (*) 
 
 En voyant I'etendue de ce Catalogue, on s'expliquera comment la publication 
 en a pu etre retardee. Les Manuscrits et les anciennes reliures de cette 
 Collection se distinguaient generalement, meme a I'exterieur, des autres livres 
 avec lesquels ils se trouvaient confondus, et, sauf quelques exceptions, on a pu 
 facilement les trouver au moment de les mettre en vente. Mais, avec une sante 
 tres aflfaiblie, entreprendre de soiimettre a un examen, meme fort rapide, la 
 masse si considerable de livi-es qui restaient, pour cboisir ceux que, dans toute 
 hypothese, il etait indispensable de garder afin de ne pas renoncer entierement 
 a I'espoir de travaux futurs, c'etait un travail accablant, qui a du etre souvent 
 interrompu et qui a fait craindre, a plusieurs reprises, qu'on n'eut jamais la 
 force de I'acliever. 
 
 Bien ou mal, ce travail est termine. Nous gardons dix mille volumes environ, 
 et nous nous separons, non sans quelque regret, de ceux dont on trouvera 
 la description dans ce Catalogue. La collection qiii va etre vendue se compose, 
 en grande partie, de livres relatifs aux sciences (aux matbematiques en 
 particulier) et a leur histoire prise dans son acception la plus etendue, c'est a 
 dire comprenant beaucoup d'ouvrages de biographic, de bibliograpbie, d'histoire 
 litteraire et meme de litterature generale, propres a jeter quelque lumiere sur la 
 marcbe de I'esprit bumain. 
 
 Les personnes qui n'ont pas I'babitude de ce genre de recbercbes croiront 
 avec peine qu'un nombre si considerable de livres ait ete reuni dans un but 
 d'utilite speciale, et Ton sera peut-etre porte a croire que la curiosite bibliogra- 
 pbique plus que le desir d'etudier I'bistoire des sciences a du presider a la 
 formation de cette nouvelle bibliotheque rassemblee depuis peu d'annees en 
 Angleterre. 
 
 Qu'on nous permette de repousser une telle supposition. Excepte ces livres 
 que tout collectem* se trouve force d'acbeter parfois en paquets ou en lots, afin 
 de se procurer le volume qu'il a longtemps cberche et qu'il rencontre par hasard 
 mele a beaucoup d' autres, tons ces livres ont ete rassembles dans un meme but, 
 et pour augmenter les sources de recbercbe et d'etude. De nos jom's, une foule 
 d'ouvrages speciaux permettent a tout bomme qui a reju une certaine education 
 de se mettre, plus ou moins facilement, au courant de plusiem's branches de 
 
 * Aiusi qu'ou I'avait fait pour le Catalogue des Manuscrits, et pour les memes 
 motifs, on a cru devoir donuer cette LUrodudion en Anglais et Fran^ais.

 of knowledge. In physics as well as morals, everything tends to specialize ; 
 and as, without taking the pains of making their own bread, most persons 
 find it more convenient to satisfy their wants by purchasing from the baker, so 
 there are heaps of other things which are sought ready-made in some Besume or 
 other treatise devoted to its special subject, having more regard to the faciHty of 
 the means of obtaining the required knowledge than to the verification of the 
 results. "We may ask however if, whilst attending entirely to this principle of 
 the division of easy labour which the description, now become famous, of the 
 manufacture of a needle has rendered popular, it be possible to ^^reserve to the 
 mind that strong superiority and that amplitude of views, which it would 
 acquire by cultivating with perseverance a field more vast and more beset with 
 difficulties ? Even without entering into any such discussion, it will suffice to 
 remark, that whilst limiting his reading to special works no one can flatter 
 himself with being able to discover the traces, so often effaced, of that 
 mysterious path followed by the human mind, especially at those epochs when 
 didactic books, if not absolutely wanting, existed only in a very small number, 
 and to transmit them to posterity only the most limited means existed. Men 
 who have devoted themselves to the study of antiquity are not ignorant that 
 the reading even of all the ancient books which remain would in no way be 
 sufficient to make us acquire even a moderately correct idea of the state of 
 the knowledge of the ancients, and that medals, inscriptions, figured monuments 
 of every kind, must be thoroughly studied and examined to supply this defi- 
 ciency of wiitten records. Not very long ago, in an ancient idol dis- 
 covered in Germany, the proof was found that the old Teutons knew and 
 employed the expansive power of steam. Perhaps wise agricxilturists, who in 
 our days apply themselves to the introduction of machinery for field-labour, are 
 far from imagining, that even in the time of the Romans, the Gauls employed a 
 most ingenious machine for reaping. It is from the medals of Domitian, and 
 not from the writings on natural history, we have learnt that the two-horned 
 rhinoceros, whose existence was long denied, was known to the Romans, and it 
 is by carefully examining the unintelligible inscriptions the Norsemen left on 
 rocks, and not by the reading of treatises on geography and navigation that 
 we have been led to think that the Scandinavians, several centuries before 
 Columbus, had landed on the shores of North America. 
 
 It would be erroneous to suppose that such discoveries cannot take place 
 except in regard to peoples, whose hterary and historical monuments have 
 in great part disappeared. Notwithstanding the invention of printing— not' 
 withstanding the immense number of books which for four ceutmies have been 
 continually getting into circulation — there is a host of curious and useful inven- 
 tions, of interesting facts, which, in default of having been announced and 
 described in special publications, have hardly been noticed in their own day, and 
 which are now either totally forgotten, or wrongly attributed to those who 
 reproduced them long after the original inventors, Without doubt this

 savoir. All physique, ainsi qu'au moral, tout tend k se specialise!', et de meme 
 que, sans prendre la peine de faire son pain chez soi, chacun trouve plus 
 commode de se le procm-er tout fait cLiez le boulanger, il y a ime foule d'autres 
 clioses qu'on cherche a aclieter toutes faites dans tel Resume, ou dans tei autre 
 ouvrage special, ayant egard plutot a la facilite des moyens qu'a la perfection 
 du resultat. On pourrait se demander si, en etendant a tout ce principe de la 
 division du travail facile, qu'une description, devenue celebre, de la fabrication de 
 I'aiguille, a rendu populau'e, il est possible de conserver a I'esprit cette superiorite 
 forte et cette amplem* de 'vues qu'il acquiert en cultivant avec perseverance un 
 champ plus vaste et plus herisse de difficultes. Mais, sans entrer dans une 
 telle discussion, il suffira de faii-e remarquer qu'en se bornant a la lecture des 
 ouvrages speciaux, nul ne pourrait se flatter de retrouver les traces, si souvent 
 effacees, de ce chemin mysterieux que I'esprit humain a suivi, aux epoques 
 surtout ou les livres didactiques, s'ils ne manquaient pas absolument, etaient 
 en tres petit nombre et ou Ton avait des moyens si bornes pour les transmettre 
 a la posterite. Les hommes qui se sont livres a I'etude de I'antiquite n'ignorent 
 pas que la lecture meme de tous les anciens ouvrages qui nous restent ne suffit 
 aucunement pour nous faire acquerir une idee mediocrement exacte de I'etat 
 des connaissances des anciens et que medailles, inscriptions, monuments figures 
 de toute espece, on doit tout examiner, tout etudier, pour suppleer aux ecrits qui 
 nous manquent. II n'y a pas tres longtemps que, dans une vieille idole decouverte 
 en Allemagne, on a trouve la preuve que les anciens Germains connaissaient 
 et employaient la force expansive de la vapeur. Peut-etre les savans agricul- 
 teurs qui, de nos jours, s'appliquent a introduire les machines dans les travaux 
 des champs sont loin de s'imaginer que, du temps des Romains, les Gaulois 
 employaient une machine fort ingenieuse pour faire leurs moissons, C'est dans 
 des medailles de Domitien et non pas dans des ecrits sur I'histoire naturelle, 
 que nous avons appris que les Eomains connaissaient le rhinoceros bicorne dont 
 on a longtemps nie I'existence, et c'est en examinant avec soin des griffonnages 
 indechififrables, graves sur des rochers, et non pas en lisant des traites de 
 Geographic ou de Navigation, qu'on a ete induit a penser que les Scandinaves, 
 plusieurs siecles avant Colomb, avaient aborde sur les plages de I'Amerique 
 septentrionale. 
 
 On serait dans I'erreur si Ton supposait que de telles decouvertes ne peuvent 
 avoir lieu qu'a I'egard de peuples dont les monuments litteraires et historiques 
 out en grande partie disparu. Malgre I'invcntion de I'imprimerie, malgre le 
 nombre immense des livi'es qui depuis quatre siecles ont ete continuellement 
 mis en la circulation, il y a une foule d'inventions curieuses et utiles, de faits 
 interessants qui, faute d' avoir ete annonces et decrits separement dans des 
 ouvrages speciaux, ont ete a peine remarques dans leur temps et qui sont 
 actuellement ou tout-a-fait oublies ou attribues k tort a ceux qvd les repro- 
 duisirent longtemps apres les premiers inventeurs. Sans doute cela a tenu

 has sumetimes been owing to the precocity of an invention thrown, in its germ, 
 in the midst of a society not yet in a state to appreciate the discovery 
 or to ch-aw a profit from it ; but more often this indifference or forgetfuhiess has 
 been caused by the manner in which these discoveries — these germs — are to be 
 foimd mixed up and almost lost in the midst of totally different subjects. 
 Up to the present time hardly any attention has been given to these ancient 
 discoveries, except when analogous inventions, made in more modern days, have 
 given the hint to curious and clear-sighted minds. This has happened in regard 
 to the satellites of Jupiter, known to the Chinese prior to Galileo, as well as 
 in regard to certain labours of the Hindoos, who in the theory of numbers were 
 in advance by several centuries of the day when Euler reproduced the same 
 results in Europe, but it must in no ways be supposed that these forgotten 
 discoveries are always to remain without influence on the future. Besides, 
 independently of a design for immediate and practical utility, he, who wishes 
 to apply liis mind to the study of the progress of human knowledge, 
 ought to propose to himself a problem of a higher order. He ought, in 
 attentively examining the road pursued by inventors, to endeavour to discover, 
 track by track, at least as far as is permitted, their method of arriving at such 
 invention. To neglect the path by which human nature ought to have passed 
 to arrive at such or such a discovery, — for example, not to stop at a mathematical 
 theorem, until at the hands of a Lagrange or a Gauss it has received a 
 definitive form, — would be to act as a naturalist who attempted only to study 
 insects under the shaj^e of beautiful butterflies, without giving the slightest 
 attention to the caterpillars, or to those less perfect larvae which at a later 
 period are to be transformed into those self-same lepidoptera. The study of the 
 progress of the human mind is surely of equal importance to that of entomology, 
 and no one will be found willing to admit that the transformations of an insect 
 are more worthy of interest than the successive developments of the human 
 thought. In the same ratio, by reason of the always increasing number of books, 
 as bibliography gains in importance and utility, and is seen to keep pace more 
 and more with literary history, so the interest which collectors attach to certain 
 books appears to increase in proportion to the degree of instruction they hope 
 to derive from them. It is to certain striking anecdotes — to some curious 
 peculiarities concerning the lives and labours of celebrated meh, unexpectedly 
 discovered in works till then neglected or little known — that these books most 
 often OAve their sudden rise in value. It is this that has pointed them out to 
 the attention of the well-informed collector. For example, it is very doubtful 
 whether the moral precepts contained in the Ricovdi di Monsignor Sahba da 
 Castiglione (1) would have hindered his work from falling into oblivion, were 
 there not amongst these precepts to be found many facts relative to Italian Art 
 in the XVIth century, and, above all, if therein had not been discovered the 
 anecdote, now become famous, of the equestrian statue, the work of Lionardo 
 da Vinci, having been destroyed at Milan by Gascon Archers. Who cared for

 parfois a la precocite d'une decouverte jetee en gerine au milieu d'une societe 
 qui n'etait pas encore en etat de I'apprecier et d'en tirer parti ; mais le plus 
 souvent I'indifference ou I'oubli n'ont eu pour cause que la maniere dont ces 
 decouvertes, ces germes, se trouvaient confondus et presque perdus au milieu de 
 matieres tout-a-fait diflferentes. Jusqu'a present on n'a guere prete attention 
 a ces anciennes decouvertes que lorsque des decouvertes analogues, faites dans 
 des temps plus modemes, eurent donne I'eveil aux esprits curieux et eclaires. 
 Cela est arrive pour les satellites de Jupiter, connus des Chinois avant Galilee, 
 et pour certains travaux des Hindous qui, dans la theorie des nombres, ontdevance 
 de plusieurs siecles le jour ou Euler reproduisit les memes resultats en Europe ; 
 mais il ne faut nullement supposer que ces decouvertes oubliees doivent toujours 
 rester sans influence sur I'avenir. D'ailleurs, independamment d'un but d'utilite 
 immediate et pratique, celui qui veut appKquer son esprit a 1' etude des progres 
 de I'entendement bumain doit se proposer un probleme d'un ordre plus eleve. H 
 doit, en examinant attentivement les voies suivies par les inventeurs, cbercber a 
 decouvrir, autant du moins que cela nous est permis, la metbode d'invention. 
 Negliger le chemin que I'bumanite a du parcourir pour parvenir a telle ou telle 
 decouverte, ne s'arreter par exemple a un tbeoreme de matbematiques que 
 lorsqu'il a pris entre les mains de Lagrange ou de Gauss ime forme definitive, 
 c'est faire ce que ferait un natm'aliste qui n'etudierait les insectes que sous 
 la fonne de brillans papillons et qui n'accorderait auctme attention aux 
 cbenilles, aux larves moins parfaites qui se sont plus tard transformees 
 en ces memes papillons. L'etude des progres de I'esprit humain vaut bien 
 celle de I'entomologie, et Ton ne saurait admettre que les transformations 
 d'un insecte soient plus dignes d'interet que les developpements successifs de 
 la pensee bumaine. 
 
 A mesure que, par suite du nombre toujours croissant des livres, la biblio- 
 grapbie gagnait en importance et en utilite, on I'a vue marcher de plus en plus 
 d' accord avec I'bistoire litteraire, et I'interet que les collecteurs attacbaient a 
 certains livres augmenter en proportion du degre d'instruction qu'on en pouvait 
 retirer. C'est a quelques anecdotes piquantes, a quelques particularites curieuses 
 concernant la vie et les travaux des bommes ce'ebres, inopinement decouvertes 
 dans des ouvrages jusqu' alors negliges et pen connus, que ces livres ont du le 
 plus souvent lem* fortmie subite. C'est la ce qui les a signales a I'attention des 
 Collecteurs instruits. H est fort douteux, par exemple, que les preceptes de 
 morale contenus dans les Ricordi di Monsignor Sabba da CastiglioneiV) eussent 
 pu empecber ce livre de tomber dans I'oubli, si a ces preceptes n'eussent pas

 tliG Speculum Lapidum of Cammillo Leonardi (2) before an eminent man, M. 
 Panizzi, in liis small literary gem entitled " Chi era Francesco da Bologna,^'' 
 thought of using in an vmexpected manner the substance of what Leonardi 
 had said about Francia, for whom, in this work, M. Panizzi has reclaimed the 
 invention of the letters termed Aldine Italic ? It is one of the characteristics of 
 our time that writers, making special researches, begin to comprehend, more 
 and more, the importance of that knowledge which may be denominated 
 collateral. Lord Macaulay has utilised to a degree, which most of the older 
 historians would have deemed impossible, the glimmering lights spread through 
 a host of writings which even their authors never dreamt of making historical 
 authority, and Lord Brougham has introduced into his admirable scientific 
 biographies the fruits of his readings as a Jurist and a Statesman. The history 
 of a learned Society may, as Mr. Weld has shown, not only become more inte- 
 resting, but also much more complete in points of vital importance, by the 
 judicious employment of what many grave authors in former times would have 
 designated " Gossip." 
 
 What has already been so suitably done for literary history will eventually 
 be carried out, having already been commenced, for the history of sciences. 
 Solely for the reason that there are more persons who read Shakespeare or 
 Dante than there are those who understand Copernicus or Fermat, it becomes 
 manifest why the interest attached to what may be termed " Curiosities of 
 Literature" is more common, and far wider spread, than that which is excited 
 by books, such as form simply an epoch in the history of science. Now, 
 however, the attraction offered by scientific writings is daily on the increase, 
 thanks to the labomrs of eminent men who have devoted themselves to such 
 researches; men — to cite only those of England — like Sir John Herschel, 
 Professor De Morgan, Dr. Whewell, or Professor Grant, with whom may 
 be associated the illustrious names of the ever-to-be-regretted Colebrooke 
 and Peacock. There is one branch of mathematics — namely. Arithmetic — ^the 
 history of which in these latter days has led to profound researches — to discus- 
 sions which have not been entirely free from anger. The interest attached to 
 works capable of clearing up the history of this base of mathematics has 
 recently received a totally unexpected increase, thanks, above all, to the laboiu's 
 of Professor De Morgan in England, and to the publications of Prince Bon- 
 compagni in Italy. Indeed, the former by his excellent bibliography of 
 ^'■Arithmetical Books," as well as by a host of dissertations spread through 
 different seiials, but principally in the " Companion to the Almanac" has called 
 attention to a large number of books, which he has described with consummate 
 bibliographical skill, and analysed with that superiority which stamps his rank 
 amongst mathematicians, whilst with publications undertaken with a zeal and 
 liberality, never to be sufficiently praised, Prince Boncompagni, on his part, has 
 done much to shed a new light on the history of Arithmetic and Algebra.

 ce que dit Leonardi a propos du Francia, pour lequel dans son ouyrage M. 
 Panizzi a revendique I'invention de ce qu'on appelle les caracteres italiques 
 d'Alde? C'est un des traits caracteristiques de notre epoque que les hommes, 
 qui font des recterclies speciales, commencent a comprendre de plus en plus 
 I'importance des connaissances qu'on pourrait appeller collaterales. Lord 
 Macaulay a utilise a un point que beaucoup d'anciens historiens auraient cru 
 impossible, les lueurs repandues dans une foule d'ecrits dont les auteurs n'avaient

 admirables biograpbies scientifiques le fruit des lectures du jurisconsulte et de

 I'a montre, devenir non seulement plus interessante, mais aussi plus complete 
 dans des points d'une importance vitale, par I'emploi judicieux de ce que 
 plusieurs graves auteurs auraient autrefois designe sous le nom de commerage. 
 Ce qui s'est fait surtout a propos de l'bistoire litteraire se fera, et a deja com- 
 mence meme a se faire, pour l'bistoire des sciences. Seulement, comme il y 
 a plus de gens qui lisent Sbakespeare ou Dante, que de gens qm comprennent 
 les ouvrages de Copernic ou de Fermat, on s'explique pourquoi I'interet qui 
 s'attacbe a ce qu'on pourrait appeler les Curiosites Litte'raires, est plus commun 
 et plus generalemeut repandu que celui qu'excitent certains livres, qui font 
 pourtant epoque dans l'bistoire des sciences. Cependant I'attrait qu'oflfrent les 
 livres scientifiques augmente de jour en jour, grace aux travaux d'bommes 
 eminens qui se sont voues a ces sortes de recbercbes, d'bommes, pour ne parler 
 que de I'Angleterre tels que Sir J. Herscbel, M. De Morgan, M. Wbewell,

 l'bistoire de cette base des matbematiques s'est accru recemment d'lme fagon 
 tout-a-fait inattendue, surtout par les publications du Professeur De Morgan en

 The importance which, iu a bibliographical point of view, scientific books have 
 already acquired has been confirmed by M. Brunet, who in the parts already 
 published of the new edition of his invaluable Manuel du Libraire has justly 
 .rendered conspicuous under the articles '^Abbaco," '^ Algorithmus" etc., the 
 increasing value attached by collectors to this class of literature, and with 
 pleasure we learn from references that the succeeding portions, looked forward 
 to with impatience by the public, are to contain similar and nO less interesting 
 articles. Bibliographers like M. Brunet know how to appreciate the services 
 rendered to them by Amateurs fonning special Collections. For instance Mr. 
 Halliwell, who since has devoted himself to totally different studies, originally 
 made himself known to bibliographers by an extraordiary collection of scientific 
 works which furnished to him the means of illustrating by interesting publica- 
 tions certain points of the History of the Sciences in England. 
 
 In the portion of the Catalogue now presented will be found a large number 
 of books on Arithmetic and its liistory, nearly all grouped under the specific 
 heading '■'■Arithmetic^'''' some of which are of an almost proverbial rarity, such 
 as the '^ Ahbaco''^ (3) of Treviso (1478), and the Calandri (4), a work equally 
 interesting as regards science or the arts of design, and of wliich the famous 
 library of Earl Spencer only possesses an imperfect copy, no less than others 
 which have remained unknown to the most celebrated bibliographers. To this 
 latter class belong the Abbaco (5) of 1547, which is for the most part a sort of 
 Block-Book (Xylograph), and the Algorithmus (6), printed at Strasburg in 1488. 
 This last appears to have been the first book on Arithmetic, published in a 
 city, now an integral portion of present France, whilst the Arithmetic (7), 
 printed by Gourmont, seems to have been the earliest elementary work of the 
 sort published in Paris, and the work of Ortega, so worthy of notice on many 
 accoimts, the first book on Arithmetic published in the French language (8). Li 
 these ancient works Ai'ithmetic and Algebra were hardly ever separated, and offer 
 in consequence to the literary historian a much wider field than might be supposed. 
 Indeed, in this Catalogue will be found under the heading '■'■Algebra'''' many rare 
 works which in several resj^ects belong also to Arithmetic. At the head of this 
 class must be placed the Challenges or Cartels (Cartelli) exchanged in the XVIth 
 Centm-y between Ferrari and Tartaglia on the subject of the most arduous ques- 
 tions in Algebra (9). This unique volume, discovered by Professor Gherardi of

 L'importance que les livres de science ont recemment acquise sous le rapport 
 bibliograpliique a ete constatee par M. Briniet, qui dans les parties deja publiees 
 de la nouvelle edition de son celebre Manuel, a fait ressortir avec justesse aux 
 articles Abhaco, Algorithmns, etc., la valeur toujours croissante que les collecteurs 
 attacbent a ces sortes de livi-es. On apprend avec plaisir par des renvois, que 
 les volumes suivants, qui sont attendus avec impatience par le public, contien- 
 dront d'autres articles du meme genre. Les bibliograpbes tels que M. Brunet 
 savent apprecier les services que leur rendent certains amateurs en formant des 
 collections speciales. M. Halliwell, par exemple, qui s'est voue depuis a des 
 etudes fort differentes, s'est d'abord fait connaitre aux bibliograpbes par une 
 collection extraordinaire d'ouvrages scientifiques, qui lui ont foumi le moyen 
 d'illustrer par d'interessantes publications plusieurs points de 1' historre des 
 sciences en Angleterre. 
 
 Dans le Catalogue que nous donnons ici on trouvera une foule de livres 
 relatifs a FAritbrnetique et a son bistoire, presque tous groupes sous le titre 
 di" Arithmetic, les uns qui sont d'une rarete presque proverbiale, tels c^qV Abhaco (3) 
 de Treviso (1478) et le Calandri(4), ouvrage aussi interessant sous le rapport 
 de la science que sous le rapport des arts du dessin, et dont la celebre 
 bibliotbeque Spencerienne ne possede qu'un exemplaire incomplet, les autres 
 qui etaient restes inconnus aux bibliograpbes les plus celebres. A cette derniere 
 classe appartient im Abbaco(6), de 1547, qui est, en grande partie, une sorte de 
 Block Book (Xylographie), et VAlgorithmus(Q), imprime en 1488 a Strasbourg. 
 Celui-ci parait etre le premier livre d'Arithmetique public dans une des villes 
 qui font partie de la France actuelle, comme 1' Arithmetique (7), imprimee par 
 Gourmont semble etre le premier livre elementaire du meme genre qui ait 
 pani a Paris, et comme I'ouvrage d' Ortega, si digne d'attention a plusieurs 
 egards, est le premier livre d'Aritbmetique public en langue Fi-angaise (8), 
 Dans ces anciens ouvrages, TAritbrnetique et I'Algebre n' etaient guere separees, 
 et ils offirent par consequent a I'bistorien des sciences im cbamp bien plus vaste 
 qu'on ne serait porte a le supposer. On trouvera eflfectivement dans ce 
 Catalogue, sous le titre collectif d'Algebre, beaucoup d'ouvrages rares qui, a 
 plusieurs egards, appartiennent aussi a I'Aritbmetique. En tete de cette classe

XIV INTEODUCTION. 
 
 Bologna, who has described it in an interesting publication, acquires additional 
 interest from the autograph annotations of Ferrari and Tartaglia, with which it is 
 enriched. Under another general title, '■'■Astronomy,^'' which the exigences of a 
 sale catalogue have not permitted to be rendered as complete as might have 
 been, will be found another work, perhaps not less curioiis, the '' Theorique des 
 Cielz " (10), which is the first book of Astronomy printed in French. This 
 magnificent volume in Black Letter, containing a quantity of beautiful woodcut 
 illustrations, and commencing with an ancient French ballad, has remained 
 equally unknown to Lalande or Brunet, but marks an epoch in the history of 
 the sciences. Under another heading, '' Comets,''^ will be met the first printed 
 work (11), having for its subject those once so dreaded meteors. 
 
 The number of books on Astronomy contained in this Collection is so con- 
 siderable, that it was impossible to collect them under one heading without 
 completely reversing the order usually followed in English catalogues. Not- 
 withstanding the utility a more general classification might have offered to 
 persons forming special collections — notwithstanding the advice of very 
 enlightened bibliographers to apply to the principal portion of the books in 
 this Catalogue the extension of the usage now generally adopted for works on 
 Music, on America, and other like specialties — it was impossible to follow in 
 this respect one uniform rule. Except, therefore, in some particular headings, 
 Arithmetic for instance, which, on account of the importance such works had 
 in the Catalogue, called for a particular classification, books only comparatively 
 little known have been placed under generical titles, and the names of the most 
 celebrated authors have been left in their proper place in their alphabetical 
 arrangement. 
 
 Every one will comprehend for example that works so rare as those pub- 
 lished by Tycho Brahe in his own island, and emanating from his private press 
 before his exile, could not be grouped with other books, less known, under the 
 heading " Astronomy,''^ and that the precious volumes printed by Monteregio 
 himself as well as certain other works, perhaps less rare — ^but more celebrated — 
 such as the writings of Copernicus and Kepler, had to be kept in the general 
 alphabetical order in which they are customarily to be found. Besides it should 
 not be forgotten that this Catalogue is not a work on Bibliography. It is a 
 sale-catalogue of which the compiling, often interrupted by sickness; then 
 resumed and confided to other persons whom it was impossible to induce to 
 adopt a perfectly uniform style of digest; has been subjected to exigences 
 from which it could not be withdrawn. In a word the bibliographer has been 
 sometimes compelled to yield to the auctioneer. Forced then to lot works 
 which might with utility have been purchased separately, but which on account

 Ce volume unique, tlecouvert par le Pi-ofesseur Gherardi de Bologne, qui I'a 
 decrit dans une interessante publication, acquiert un interet de plus par les 
 annotations autograplies de Ferrari et de Tartaglia dont il est enrichi. Sous 
 un autre titre general, Astronomie, que les exigences d'un Catalogue de vente 
 n'ont pas permis de rendre aussi complet qu'il aurait pu I'etre, on trouvera un 
 ouvrage non moins curieux peut-etre, la Theorique des Cielz (10), qui est 
 le premier livre d'astronomie public en Franyais. Ce magnifique volume 
 gothique, contenant une foule de belles impressions sur bois et commengant par 
 une vieille ballade Franjaise, est reste egalement inconnu a Lalande et a 
 M. Brunet, et fait epoque dans I'histoire des sciences. Sous le titre Cometes, 
 on rencontera le premier ouvrage imprime(ll), qui ait pour objet ces astres 
 autrefois si redoutes. 
 
 Le nombre des livres d' Astronomie contenus dans cette Collection est si con- 
 siderable, qu'il etait absolument impossible de les rassembler tons sous lui titre 
 unique, sans renverser completement I'ordre suivi d' ordinaire dans les Catalogues 
 Anglais. Malgre I'utilite qu'un classement plus general aurait pu offrir aux 
 personnes qui forment des collections speciales, malgre les conseils de biblio- 
 graphes tres eclaires qui nous engageaient a etendre a la grande generalite des 
 livres de ce Catalogue I'usage jusqu' ici adopte seulement pour les ouvrages 
 relatifs a la Musique, a I'Amerique, et a quelques autres specialites, il a ete 
 impossible de suivre a cet egard une regie uniforme. Sauf done quelques titres 
 particuliers comme Arithme'tiqite, par exemple, qui, par I'importance meme qu'ils 
 avaient dans ce Catalogue appelaient un classement particulier, on n'a place 
 que des livres comparativement peu connus sous certains titres generiques, et 
 on a laisse a leur place, selon I'ordi-e de I'Alpliabet, les noms des auteurs plus 
 celebres. 
 
 Tout le monde comprendra, par exemple, que les ouvrages si rares publies 
 par Tycho-Brahe dans son He et avec sa propre imprimerie, avant son exil, 
 n'aient pas pu etre groupes, avec d'autres livres moins connus, sous le titre 
 Astronomie, et que les volumes precieux qu' imprimait Monteregio lui-meme, 
 ainsi que certains ouvrages, moins rares peut-etre mais plus celebres, de 
 Copemic et de Kepler aient garde dans I'ordre alphabetique la place a laquelle 
 on est accoutume a les trouver. 
 
 D'ailleurs il ne faut pas oublier que ce Catalogue n'est pas un ouvrage de 
 bibliograpbie. C'est un Catalogue de vente dont la redaction, souvent inter- 
 rompue par des maladies, puis reprise, et confiee k diverses personnes aux- 
 quelles il etait impossible de faire suivre une marcbe parfaitement uniforme, 
 a ete soumise a des exigences presque inexorables. En un mot le biblio- 
 graphe a du parfois ceder a VAuctioneer. Forces done de grouper des

 of their number could not be sold isolated without rendering the sale inter- 
 minable, the compilers of this Catalogue have been compelled to modify their 
 labour according to circumstances. References at the end of this Introduction 
 will serve to diminish, if not entirely to remove, the inconveniences of this 
 want of uniformity. 
 
 Among the generic headings, there is one ^'■Galileo'" — which deserves 
 particular mention. The labours of this philosopher, the veritable creator of 
 experimental philosophy, have had such an influence on the march of science, 
 have served to found in Italy a school so fruitful and so brilliant, have raised 
 such vivid jealousies — such bitter enmities — have been interrupted by such 
 misfortunes, that in order to render better known what Science owes to Galileo 
 — to render more evident even solely by the titles of the books the conflict of 
 enthusiastic applause and of enraged persecution in the midst of which he 
 advanced in his glorious career, it has been thought advisable to insert at 
 the end of his own writings, and to attach them under his name, other works, 
 now little known and not often to be found, by his partisans or adversaries, 
 which may serve to throw a new light upon the history and labours of this 
 martyr of Science. Whilst in the original editions of certain of his works are 
 to be found those discoveries which his genius spread throughoiit, the reference 
 to them has not always been noticed (12), although also mentioned in other works 
 published in his day, such as for example the " Ragguagli di Parnaso" (13), by 
 Boccalini, which would not seem to be of a nature to be cited in scientific discus- 
 sions, but in which is to be seen the proof of the priority of his claim to certain dis- 
 coveries disputed to be his. On the other hand it will be seen that he was fore- 
 stalled in discoveries that are very generally attributed to him. For example, the 
 equal duration of the fall of heavy bodies of different natures, falling in the same 
 time from the same height, is affirmed in a book on the art of writing in 
 cyphers, which Bellaso (whose name has almost simk into oblivion) published in the 
 very year in which Galileo was bom (14). Other works having nothing scientific 
 but the name, and even small dramatic pieces, offer proof of the fact, often men- 
 tioned and always denied, that astronomers prior to Galileo had sought by the 
 aid of certain instruments to bring distant objects (15) nearer. Finally, only to 
 speak of the telescope such as Galileo constructed on the report that an instrument 
 of the sort had been made in Holland, it is at variance with fact to affirm, as is 
 generally done, that Galileo was the first to turn this instrument towards the 
 heavens. Mr. J. Winter Jones, who, since Mr. Panizzi has justly been called 
 to the general superintendance of the British Museum, directs Avith such zea^

INTRODUCTION. xvii 
 
 ouvrages qui avaicnt pu etre aclietes separement avec utllite, mais que, k 
 raison surtout de lour grand noiubre, on ne pouvait pas vendre isolement sans 
 rendre la vente interminable, les redacteurs de ce Catalogue out du modifier 
 leur travail suivant les circonstances. Des renvois, places a la suite de cette 
 Introdudion, serviront a diminuer, sinon a faire disparaitre entierement, les 
 inconvenients de ce manque d'uniformite. 
 
 Parmi ces titres generiques, on en remarquera un, Galilee, qui merite une 
 mention particuliere. Les travaux de ce pliilosoplie, veritable createur de la 
 pliilosopliie experimcutale, ont eu une telle influence sur la marche des sciences, 
 lis sont servi a fonder en Italic une ecole si feconde et si brillante, ils ont 
 suscite de si vives jalousies, de si ameres inimities, ils ont ete interrompus par 
 de telles infortunes que, pour aider a faire mieux comprendre ce que les sciences 
 doivent ii Galilee, pour rendre plus evident, meme par des titres seuls de livres, 
 ce conflit d'applaudissements enthousiastes et de persecutions acharnees au 
 milieu desquels il s'est avance dans sa glorieuse carriere, nous avons cru 
 devoir rassembler a la suite de ses ecrits originaux, et en les rattachant a 
 son nom, d'autres ouvrages maintenant pen connus et souvent introuvables, 
 de ses partisans ou de ses adversaires, qui pouvaient jeter une nouvelle 
 lumiere sur I'histoire et les travaux de ce Martyr de la science. Tandisque 
 dans les editions originales de certains ouvrages de lui, on trouvera de ces 
 dccouvcrtes que son genie repandait partout et qu'on n'a pas toujours 
 remarquees (12), dans d'autres livres publics de son temps, tels que les 
 Ragguagli di JParnaso(lS) de Boccalini, qui ne sembleraient pas de natiu-e 
 a ^tre cites dans des discussions scientifiques, on aura la preuve de la 
 priorite de certaines inventions qu'on lui a disputees. Aillem's, par centre, on 
 verra qu'il avait ete devance dans des decouvertes qu'on lui attribue le j)lus 
 generalenient. Par exemple, I'isoclironisme de la cMte des corps graves de 
 differentes natures tombant dans le meme temps de la meme hauteur, est 
 affirme dans un livre sur I'art d'ecrire en chiffres que Bellaso (dont le nom 
 est presque tombe dans I'oubli) publiait I'annee meme de la naissance de 
 Oalilee (14). D'autres ouvrages, qui n'ont de scientifique que le nom, de 
 petites pieces dramatiques meme, offrent la preuve de ce fait, plusieurs fois 
 affirme et toujours dementi, qu'avant Galilee les astronomes cliercliaieut, a I'aide 
 'de certains instruments, a rapprocher les objets eloignes(lo). Au reste, pour 
 ne parler meme que du telescope tel que Galilee I'a construit sur la nouvelle 
 qu'un instrument de ce genre avait ete fait en HoUande, il n'est pas exact de 
 dire, bien qu'on le dise generalement, que Galilee ait ete le premier u tourner cet

 and success the department of printed books in this immense establishment, has 
 made known a small tract (16), printed by Jean Gazeau at Lyons in 1608, 
 wherein will be found the proof that, from the very first days of its construction, 
 the telescope was directed towards the heavens even in Holland itself, although 
 without observing any thing that was new. It is one of those small gazettes 
 published so frequently at tlus period, bearing the date of 12 November, 1608, 
 with the following title, " Les Amhassades et Presents du Soy de Siam 
 envoyez a V Excellence du Prince Maurice,^'' wherein at the end of political news 
 there are mentioned new " spy-glasses" constructed by " a poor man, very 
 religious and fearing God,'^ of Mildebourg {sic for Middelbiu-g), " tvho has 
 had 300 dollars and will have more on condition of not teaching the said 
 manufacture to any person in the world.'" At the conclusion of the description 
 of the magnifying produced by this instrument the author adds " Even the 
 stars which are not ordinarily visible to our sight or our eyes by their smallness 
 and the iveakness of our vision may be seen by means of this instrument." It 
 was not by turning by chance the new spy-glass towards the heavens, but in 
 seizing and divining even with an incomparable promptitude of mind the 
 marvels which the new instrument hardly rendered perceptible ! it was by 
 coming at the first onset to the most brilliant results, by applying not only 
 his eye but his genius to the telescope that Galileo was able in a f^w days 
 to make the astonishing discoveries disclosed in his Nuncius Syderens. They 
 reversed so completely the idea until then formed of the constitution of the 
 ■universe, that for a long time the partisans of the ancient doctrines were 
 obstinate in treating them as diabolical illusions. From that day forward gave 
 way all that scaffolding of suspended spheres and solid heavens, which Coper- 
 nicus had not had the audacity to attack, but which however an Italian philoso- 
 pher, Patrizzi, whose reputation is far inferior to his merit, had dared to deny 
 openly even anterior to the discoveries of Galileo. One can reatUly understand 
 why the Peripaticians, until then absolute masters in the schools and whom 
 the assertions of Copernicus had not much moved, closed their ranks and rose 
 up in arms on the day, when by the discoveries of Galileo all the ancient errors 
 were sapped to the foundation, and when the celestial machine seemed all at 
 once to be toppling on their heads. 
 
 The sad consequences of the strife which then commenced between dominant 
 error and truth — which could not fail to triumph in the end — are but too well 
 known ; and the different editions, announced in this Catalogue, of the Sacro 
 Arsenale {\1), which is merely the Code of the Inqiiisition, will serve to furnish 
 
 (16) From a verbal communication of Mr. Th, Watts, Assistant-Keeper of the 
 same department in the British Museum, whose sure and varied erudition is so 
 olili^ingly placed at the disposition of every literary student, it appears that he also 
 had made the same remark respecting this small tract.

 justenient appele a la direction generale du British Museum, gouverne avec tant 
 de zele et de succes, le departement des livres imprimes de ce grand etablissemeut, 
 nous a fait connaitre (16) un petit livre imprime par Jean Gazeau a Lyon en 
 1608, ou Ton trouve la preuve que des las premiers jom-s de sa constrviction le 
 telescope avait ete dirige vers le ciel en Hollande meme, sans donner lieu a 
 aucune decouverte. C'est une de ces petites Gazettes publiees si frequemment 
 a cette epoque ; elle porte la date du 12 Novembre, 1608, et a pour titre 
 *' Les Amhassades et jyre'sents du Roy de Siam envoyez a V excellence du Prince

 construites par ^' im jnmvre hotmne fort religieux et craignant Dieu'^ de Milde- 
 bourg (s2c) "g-we a eu trots cetis escus et en am^a plus en faisant d'avantage, a la

 description du grossissement produit parcet instrument I'auteur ajoute " Mestnes 
 les estoilles qui ordinairement ne paroissent a nostre veue et a nos yeux par leur 
 petitesse et foiblesse de nostre veue se peuvent voir par lemoyen de cest instniment.''^ 
 Ce n'etait pas en tournant presque par basard la nouvelle lunette vers le ciel, 
 mais en saisissant, en devinant meme, avec une prompitude d'esprit incomparable 
 les merveilles que le nouvcl instrument faisait a peine apercevoir, c'est en 
 parvenant d'emblee aux resultats les plus brillants, c'est en appliquant non 
 seulement son ceil mais son genie au telescope, que Galilee a pu en qtielques 
 jours faire les decouvertes etonnantes que renferme son Nuncius Sydereus. 
 EUes renversaient si completement I'idee qu'on s'etait formee jusqu' alors de la 
 constitution de I'univers, que pendant longtemps les partisans des anciennes 
 doctrines se sont obstines a les traiter d'illusions diaboliques. C'est a partir de 
 ce jour la seulement que s'ecroulait tout cet echafifandage de spheres superposees 
 et de cieux solides, que Copernic n'avait pas eu I'audace d'attaquer, et que 
 pom'tant un philosoplie Italien, Patrizj, dont la reputation est de beaucoup 
 inferieure au merite, avait ose uier ouvertement avant meme les decouvertes de 
 Galilee. On comprend pourquoi les peripateticiens, maitres absolus jusqu' alors 
 dans les ecoles, et que les assertions de Copernic n'avaient pas beaucoup emus, 
 serrerent les rangs et chargerent leurs armes le jour ou, par les decouvertes de 
 Galilee, toutes les vieilles erreurs furent sapees dans leur fondement, et ou la

 proofs to those who with ourselves have always thought that Galileo was tor- 
 tured. The books which we have grouped round this great name moreover 
 show, that this everlasting injustice weighed not only on those who provoked it, 
 but also on others who wore the same robe, however they may have sought to 
 separate themselves from the first persecutors. In effect whilst, especially in 
 Tuscany, the ancient school moved heaven and earth, weighing down Galileo and 
 forcing him to go upon his knees to the Inquisition, there existed not only 
 amongst the clergy in general, but even in the order of the Jesuits itself a 
 numerous party who, without openly revolting against the sentence of the 
 Inquisition, spoke of the system of Copernicus — as of an hypothesis it is true 
 — but still did not cease to sj^eak of it, and seized every occasion to celebrate 
 the fame of Galileo. This fact does not seem to have been sufficiently placed 
 in its proper light. "Without recalling the names of Father Castelli, Father 
 Cavalieri, the Archbishop of Siena Piccolomini, Monsignor Ciampolli, and 
 other Ecclesiastics who were defenders of Galileo, the works mentioned in this 
 Catalogue will furnish immerous proofs. The injustice of which Galileo was 
 the victim has borne its fruits, and posterity has long obstinately ignored 
 the importance of the labours of Lana (18), of Eschinardi (19), and of other 
 illustrious men of the order of Jesus, solely because they presented themselves 
 before the world clothed in the same habit as Father Grassi (20), Father 
 Scheiner (21), or in short as the most enraged adversaries of Galileo. One of 
 these Jesuits above all, the Father Grimaldi, deserves to be reckoned amongst 
 the glories of Italian science ; for not only in his treatise de Immine (22) has he 
 created an entire branch of optics — that which relates to the interference and 
 diffraction of light — but, a thing less known but not less important, he has, many 
 years before the memorable discoveries of Eoemer and Bradley, theoretically 
 proved that the propagation of light is progressive and not instantaneous. 
 
 It was principally with the design of tracing and reviewing the march of science 
 in Italy from its very foundation that this Collection now offered for sale was 
 formed ; and in it will be found a mass of works, such as those of Benedetti (23),

 Catalogue, Arsenal qui n'est autre chose que le Code de I'lnquisition, ne peuvent 
 que foiu-uir des preuves a ceux qui out toujours pense arec nous que Galilee avait 
 ete tortui-e. Les livres que nous avons groupes autour de ce grand nom 
 montrent de plus, que cette immortelle injustice a pese non seulement sur ceux 
 qui I'avaient provoquee, mais aussi sur d'autres qui portaient la meme robe, 
 bien qu'ils eussent chcrclie a se separer des premiers persecuteurs. En efFet 
 pendant que, surtout en Toscaue, la yieille ecole remnant ciel et terre, accablait 
 Galilee et le forjait c\ aller se mettre a genoux devant I'lnquisition, il existait, 
 non seulement dans le clerge en general, mais dans I'ordi'e des Jesuites meme, 
 un parti nombreux qui, sans se revolter ouvertement contre la sentence de 
 rinquisition, parlait du systeme de Copemic comme d'une liypotliese il est vrai, 
 mais ne cessait d'en parler, et saisissait toutes les occasions de ceiebrer le nom 
 de Galilee. Ce fait ne nous semble par avoir ete suffisament mis en lumiere. 
 Sans parler du pere Castelli, du pere Cavalieri, de I'Arclieveque de Sienne 
 Piccolomini, de Monsignor Ciampoli, et d'autres ecclesiastiques qui furent les 
 defenseurs de Galilee, les ouvrages contenus dans ce Catalogue en fom-nissent 
 des preuyes nombreuses. L'injustice dont Galilee avait ete la victime a porte 
 ses fruits, et la posterite s'est longuement obstinee a meconnaitre I'importance 
 des travaux de Lana(18), d'Escliinardi(19), et d'autres hommes illustres de la 
 compagnie de Jesus, uuiquement parceque ces savants s'etaient presentes devant 
 elle revetus des memes habits que le pere Grassi (20), le pere Scheiner (21), en 
 un mot que les adversaires les plus acharnes de Galilee. L'un surtout de ces 
 Jesuites, le pere Grimaldi, merite d'etre compte parmi les gloires de la science 
 Itahenne ; car, non seulement, dans son traite De Lumine (22) il a cree una 
 branche entiere de I'optique, celle qui se rapporte aux interferences et a la 
 diffraction de la lumiere, mais, chose moias connue bien que non moins 
 importaute, il a, plusiem's anuees avant les memorables decouvertes de Roemer

 progressive et non pas instantauee.

 and ' others, which insure to Italy discoveries which even certain 
 Italians themselves are obstinate in ascribing to strangers. It has been 
 said at the commencement that the most unexpected discoveries are to 
 be found sometimes in books, which from their nature seem the least 
 likely to contain them. The enumeration would be much too long, even 
 summarily to indicate the works described in this Catalogue as containing 
 either the germs, or even the complete description of inventions, which have 
 been looked upon as quite modern. Who, for instance, would imagine that 
 suspension-bridges, exactly as they are constructed at present, will be found 
 described and figured, together with life belts and many other not 
 less curious inventions, in the Macliince Novce of Fausto Veranzio, a work 
 published at Venice towards the end of the X Vlth Century (30) ? The author 
 was a man of note. He was Hungarian Secretary to the Emperor, and his 
 Polyglot Dictionary (31) is esteemed by linguists; whilst i\\Q '-'■ Machince 
 J^ovee," although far more interesting, is almost unknown to scientific men. 
 The book is in truth very rare, and this may account for its having escaped all 
 researches ; but what can be alleged in excuse for not noticing in a book 
 which all the world knows, the Piacevoli Notti of Straparola, a collection 
 of Novels often reprinted in the XVIth Century, and not only published 
 in Italian, but even translated into French, that therein is to be seen a descrip- 
 tion, hitherto entirely unnoticed, of a species of revolver (32), that is to say, of a 
 gun capable of discharging separately, or at one time, several projectiles without 
 the necessity of being reloaded. Again, who would believe that in a translation 
 of Persius made by Stelluti, a member of the celebrated Academy of Lincei, is 
 to be foimd the fii'st example of microscopical observations on animals, illustrated 
 with plates (33) ? Who would imagine that even before the so well-known 
 labours of Castelli (34) the influence of colour on the absorption and emission 
 of radiating heat was a fact so generally Itnown that Pope Clement VII, 
 adopted as his motto Candor Illcesus, from that property in white bodies

 discovered by his treasurer, Doraenico Bnonaccorsi, a physician, whose very 
 name is probably now forgotten at Florence by his own descendants ? It is in 
 a Collection of Devices formed by Ruscclli (35) that so important a fact is 
 stated, and it is in the same work, printed in the XVIth Century, and now 
 opened merely as an object of pure curiosity, that not only is this fact to be 
 found, but also that of the combustion of the diamond. These discoveries on 
 the radiation of heat, and even other radiations, which are to be found recorded 
 in Ruscelli, and at a later period confirmed and enlarged by Cavalieri (36), 
 Castelli, and the Academicians of the Cimento (37), are still incessantly attri- 
 buted to men who have no right to their first discovery. 
 
 It is known that for a long series of centuries philosophers, as well as the 
 vulgar, refused absolutely to admit that celestial bodies could sustain themselves 
 isolated in space, and that Copernicus himself, in spite of the courage with 
 which he sought to overturn the astronomical system generally adoj3ted in his 
 time, had not dared to rid science of those solid spheres in which it was 
 believed that the stars were incrusted. It might have been asked how these 
 spheres themselves were sustained in space, but this difficulty does not appear 
 to have presented itself to the minds of ancient astronomers. However, before 
 the immortal discoveries of Newton, tlie idea of boches sustaining themselves 
 in space by their own nature, and even acting at a distance the one upon the 
 other, is found recorded in different writers. A remarkable example of this 
 may be seen in the commentary written by Luigi Groto on a work of Bonardo 
 of very little interest, "Z)6 la Dimension cles Spheres Celestes'''' (38). This Grota 
 surnamed lo Cieco d'Adi'ia, because he was blind almost from his birth, although 
 hardly known in the present day, wrote tragedies in which, in advance of his age, 
 he has introduced all the far-fetched exaggeration of the Secento. But to make 
 up for this folly, he had foreseen that celestial bodies remain suspended, and in 
 equilibrium, in space by a species of magnetic attraction produced by distant 
 bodies, similar to the mode as, at that period in Euroj^e it was generally 
 stated, Mahomet's coffin was suspended between heaven and earth. To this 
 example so unexpected may be added another not less singular, that of 
 Cammillo Agrippa, who, in a work, the designs of which are attributed to 
 Michael Angelo, and the object of which is the art of making weapons, has 
 declared at the end, in a dialogxie supposed to be held between himself and 
 the celebrated translator of the ^neid, Annibale Caro, that not only do the 
 planets tend or gravitate the one to the other, but in addition that they gravi- 
 tate differently towards the earth, and that to this diflference of action is owing

 mSme est probablement oublie aujourd'liui a Florence par ses descendants 1 
 ' Cost dans iin recueil de devises, forme par Ruscelli (35), que ce fait si impor- 
 tant est constate et c'est dans ce meme ouvrage, imprime au XVP'"'' siecle, et 
 qu'on ouvre senlement aujourd'liui comme un objet de pure curiosite, que se 
 trouve non seulement un tel fait, mais aussi la combustion du diamant. Cos 
 decouvertcs sur la clialeur rayonnante, et meme sur d'autres radiations, qu'on 
 voit consignees dans Ruscelli, et que plus tard Cavalieri (36), Castelli, et les 
 academiciens du Cimento (37) ont confirmees et etendues, sont sans cesse 
 attribuees a des hommes qui n'y ont aucun droit. 
 
 Ou sait que, pendant une longue suite de siecles les philosoplies aussi bien 
 que le vulgaire se refuserent absolument a admettre que les corps celestes 
 pussent se soutenir isoles dans I'espace et que Copernic lui meme, malgre la 
 hardiesse avec laquelle il s'appliquait a renverser le systeme astronomique 
 generalement adopte de son temps, n'avait pas ose se debarrasser de ces spheres 
 solides dans lesquelles on croyait que les astres etaient incrustes. On aurait pu 
 se demander comment ces spheres elles memes se soutenaient dans I'espace, mais 
 cette difficulte ne semble pas s'etre presentee a I'esprit des anciens astronomes. 
 Pourtant, avant les immortelles decouvertes de Newton, I'idee de corps se 
 soutenant dans I'espace par leur propre nature et meme agissant a distance les 
 uns sur les autres, se trouve consignee dans difi"erents ecrivains. On en voit 
 un exemple remarquable ^ dans le Commentaire ecrit par L. Groto sur un 
 ouvi-age fort pen interessant de Bonardo; De la Dimension des Spheres 
 Ce'lestes (38). Ce Groto, appele le Cieco d'Adria parcequ'il etait devenu 
 aveugle presque en naissant, et qui est a peine connu aujourd'bui, a ecrit des 
 tragedies dans lesquelles il a d'avance introduit toute la recherche et I'exagera- 
 tion du Secento. Mais en revanche il avait pressenti que les corps celestes 
 restent suspendus, et en equilibre, dans I'espace par une espece d'attraction 
 magnetique produite par des corps eloignes, comme on disait generalement a 
 cette epoque en Europe qu'etait suspendu le tombeau de Mahomet. A cet 
 exemple si inattendu on pent en aj outer un autre non moins singulier, celui de 
 Cammillo Agrippa, qui, dans un ouvrage rempli de figiires dont les dessins ont 
 ete attribues a Michel Ange, et destine a enseigner la maniere de faire des armes^ 
 a declare a la fin, dans un dialogue qu'il suppose etre tenu entre lui-meme et le 
 celebre traducteur de I'Eneide, Annibal Caro, que non seulement les planetes 
 pesent ou gravitent les unes sur les autres, mais que de plus, elles pesent 
 diflferemment sur la terre et qi\e c'est a cette difference d'action qu'est due la 
 precession des equinoxes ! Qui aurait pu s'attendre a rencontrer une telle

 the Precession of the Equinoxes 1 Who would expect to meet such a notion 
 in the work of a fencing-master, printed for the first time eleven years before 
 the birth of Galileo (39). 
 
 Without pushing still further this enumeration, which might become 
 interminable, what has been already said will suffice to convince men, who 
 give themselves up to the study of the sciences, of the utility — one is almost 
 tempted to say of the necessity — of resorting more frequently to ancient works 
 than is generally done. A host of other facts will moreover show that it is 
 indispensable to pay great attention, whilst studying ancient authors, to the 
 different editions; in other words not to neglect bibliography if there be a 
 desire to arrive at an exact knowledge of books and of their true contents. In 
 spite of the racy anecdotes which are told of certain enthusiastic collectors, 
 bibliography, considered always as an auxiliary study, will become more and 
 more necessary as daily the increasing number of books renders it no longer 
 possible to proceed without a guide or a finger-post to direct us through 
 the accumulating mass of materials of a nature and value so varied. This 
 Catalogue might present numerous examples of the utility of bibliography 
 considered in this point of view. One only shall be cited ; it is sufficiently 
 striking. 
 
 There are few names in modern literary history more illustrious than that of 
 Pascal. A great wi'iter and an invincible debater, liis Pensees as well as his 
 Provinciales would have sufficed to have rendered his name imperishable, even 
 if his discoveries in Mathematics and Physics had not handed it down to 
 posterity. It seems that roimd such a name, which has been the occasion and 
 the object of such violent discussions and of such deep studies, the light ought 
 long since to have been directed to every point, and it will not readily be 
 imagined that a simple bibliographical remark contained in this Catalogue must 
 hereafter have much influence on the appreciation of labours so celebrated. 
 When Pascal, in 1647, made his first barometrical observations on the Puy de 
 Dome, as is well known, he abstained entirely from mentioning the name of 
 Torricelli, who, as was patent to the whole world, had discovered the barometer 
 in 1643. This forgetfulness, which the author of the Provinciales only repaired 
 later in a very shuffling manner, gave rise to just complaints, and the Italians 
 recalled to mind how, in regard to the Cycloid, scientific Frenchmen had 
 appeared little disposed to render honour to the genius of Torricelli. The 
 injustice of Pascal naturally provoked reprisals, jmd it was declared in Italy not 
 only that Pascal without ceremony had appropriated the barometer, but also 
 the application of the instrument for measuring heights, which was known in the 
 coujitry where the barometer was invented, four years before Pascal had made 
 his primary observations. To support this assertion his adversaries quoted the

 in 1553.

 Saus pousser plus loin cette enumeration qui pourrait devenir interminable, 
 ce qu'on vient de dire suffira pour faire comprendre aux hommes qui se 
 livrent a I'etude des sciences, I'utilite, nous serions presque tente de dire la 
 necessite, d'avoir plus frequemment recours aux anciens ouvrages qu'on ne le 
 fait generalement. Une foule d'autres faits montreront de plus qu'il est 
 indispensable, lorsqu'on etudie les anciens auteurs, de faire grande attention 
 aux diflferentes editions, en d'autres termes de ne pas negliger la bibliographic 
 quand on veut parvenir a la connaissance exacte des livres et de ce qu'ils renfer- 
 ment. Malgre les spirituelles anecdotes qu'on a pu raconter de certains collecteurs 
 enthousiastes, la bibliographic, consideree toujours comme etude auxiliaire, 
 deviendra de plus en plus necessaire a mesure que, le nombre des livres 
 augmentant, il ne sera plus possible de se passer d'un guide, d'une direction 
 poux se reconnaitre au milieu de tant de materiaux de nature et de valeur si 
 differentes. Ce Catalogue pourrait offrir de nombreux exemples de I'utilite de la 
 bibliographic consideree sous ce point de vue. N'en citons qu'un seul ; il est 
 assez frappant. 
 
 II y a peu de noms, dans I'histoire litteraire moderne, plus illustres que celui de 
 Pascal. Grand ecrivain et lutteur invincible, ses Pensees comme ses Provinciales 
 auraient suffi a rendre son nom imperissable, lors meme que ses decouvertes 
 dans les mathematiques et dans la physique n'eussent pas du le faire passer a la 
 posterite. II semblait qu'autom* d'un tel nom, qui a ete I'occasion et I'objet de 
 discussions si animees et d' etudes si approfondies, la lumiere eut du se faire 
 depuis longtemps et sur tons les points, et Ton ne s'imaginerait pas facilement 
 qu'une simple remarque bibliographique contenue dans ce Catalogue put avoir 
 beaucoup d'influence sur 1' appreciation de travaux si celebres. On sait que 
 lorsqu'en 1647 Pascal fit ses premieres observations barometriques sur le Puy 
 de Dome, il s'abstint completement de prononcer le nom de Torricelli qui, au su 
 de tout le monde, avait decouvert le barometre en 1643. Cet oubH, que 
 I'auteur des Provinciales ne repara que plus tard et d'une fa9on fort embarrassee, 
 donna lieu a de justes reclamations, et les Italiens se rappelerent que deja a 
 propos de la Cycloide les savants Frangais avaient semble peu disposes a rendre 
 honneur au genie de Torricelli. L'injustice de Pascal provoqua naturellement 
 des represailles et Ton declara en Italic que, non seulement Pascal s'etait 
 d'abord empare sans fagon du barometre, mais que meme I'application de cet 
 instrument a la mesure des hauteurs etait connue dans le pays ou le barometre 
 avait ete invente, quatre ans avant que Pascal ne fit ses premieres observations. 
 A I'appui de cette assertion, on cita le livre d'un Francais, Beauregard, pro- 
 
 (39) Voyez le No. 71, du Catalogue. Cet ouvrage d'Agrippa avait d'abord paru 
 a Rome en 1553. 
 
xxviii INTEODUCTION. 
 
 work of a Frencliman, Beauregard, successively Professor at Pisa and at 
 Padua, who, in his Circulus Pisanus, published at Udine, in 1G43, was said 
 to have spoken of the measurement of heights by the barometer as a thing 
 well known. Besides the edition even the page of the work was cited where 
 the passage, reproduced verbatim, was to be found printed, and this asser- 
 tion put into circulation nearly a century ago by a man of great merit, 
 Targioni, has been again put forth in our time, in a publication looked upon 
 as an authority, as a thing decided. It is necessary, however, to reverse this 
 erroneous judgment. In this Catalogue is to be found a description of the 
 work of Beauregard, of which there are two editions (40), the one of the year 
 1G43, containing not one word of the passage cited, and the other of the year 
 1661, wherein is really to be foimd, interpolated, the quotation cited with such 
 assurance, without first ascertaining if what was thus quoted from the second 
 edition could be found in the first. Such an error admitted for such a length 
 of time, and so often repeated in a case so important with respect to so cele- 
 brated a man, will prove that it is not so absolutely useless to inspect different 
 editions, to compare them, and to consult even those which, without being 
 either the most complete or the best, may still serve to substantiate some 
 important fact. 
 
 Amidst the different groups formed in this Catalogue will be seen, chiefly, as 
 far as regards certain celebrated men, that care has been taken to collect all the 
 works, sometimes of a very different nature, which might tend to make known 
 not only their discoveries, but also all the productions of their minds. The more 
 we advance in the study of man, the more we shall in truth perceive that the 
 entire life of a scholar ought to be studied, if we wish to be acquainted with 
 him thoroughly, and that for example the theological and polemical works of 
 De Dominis (41), or Steuo (42), ought not to be separated from their writings 
 on light and on geology, which have rendered their names famous. This re-con- 
 struction of the mind of a man by aid of all his writings, and by the bringing 
 together of the greatest number possible of polemical and biograj)hical labours 
 of which he may have been the subject, has always been a principal object in 
 the formation of this Collection. The article " Galileo " shows as nearly as 
 possible what might have been done for other literary and scientific characters 
 if the routine of a Sale- Catalogue had permitted in this manner the recon- 
 struction of the entire lives of celebrated men. The real inconvenience thus 
 occasioned will be diminished, it is to be hoped, by the table of references, placed 
 at the end of this Introduction, which the reader is requested to consult.

 fesscur successivement a, Pise et a Padoue qui, dans un oiivrage intitule 
 Circulus Pisanus et publie a Udine en 1643, avait parle, disait-on, de la mesure 
 des hauteurs par le barometre comme d'une chose connue. Outre I'edition, on 
 citait la page meme du livre ou le passage qu'on dounait en toutes lettres se 
 serait trouve imprime, et cette assertion, mise en circulation il y a pres 
 d'un siecle par un homme d'un grande merite, Targioni, avait ete reproduite 
 de nos jours dans une publication pour ainsi dire officielle, et avait pris I'autorite 
 de chose jugee. H faut pourtant revenir sur ce jugement errone. Dans ce 
 Catalogue on verra la description de I'ouvrage de Beauregard qui a eu deux 
 editions (40): I'une de I'annee 1643 qui ne contient pas un seul mot du passage 
 cite, I'autre de I'annee 1661, dans laquelle se trouve intercale le passage qu'on 
 citait avec assurance sans jamais se donner la peine de verifier si ce qu'on prenait 
 dans la seconde edition se trouvait dans la premiere. Une telle erreur, si 
 longtemps admise et si souvent repetee, dans un cas si important, a propos d'un 
 homme si celebre, fera comprendre qu'il n'est pas absolument inutile de 
 regarder aux differentes editions, de les comparer et de consulter celles qui, 
 sans etre parfois ni les plus completes ni les meilleures, peuvent servir a con- 
 stater quelque fait important. 
 
 Parmi les differens groupes qui ont ete formes dans ce Catalogue, on verra 
 qu'a propos surtout de certains hommes celebres, on s'est applique a rassembler 
 tons les ouvrages, de natures parfois tres-diverses, qui etaient propres a faire 
 connaitre non seulemcnt leurs decouvertes mais aussi tons les produits de leur 
 esprit. Plus on avancera dans I'etude de I'homme et plus on s'apercevra, en 
 eflfet, que la vie entiere d'un savant doit etre etudiee si Ton veut le bien 
 connaitre et que, par exemple, les ouvrages de theologie et de polemique 
 ecrits par De Dominis (41), et par Stenon (42), ne saixraient etre separes des 
 ecrits sur la lumiere et sur la geologic qui ont rendu leurs noms celebres. 
 Cette reconstruction de I'homme par tons ses ecrits, et par la reunion du plus 
 grand nombre possible de travaux polemiques ou biographiques dont il a pu 
 etre I'objet, nous avait constamment preoccupe en formant cette Collection. 
 L'article Oalilee montre a peu pres dans ce Catalogue ce que nous avions voulu 
 faire ; mais, les routines d'un Catalogue de vente, n'ont pas permis qu'on 
 procedat toujom's ainsi a la reconstruction de la vie entiere des hommes illustres. 
 Cet inconvenient est reel; il se trouvera, nous I'esperons, diminuc par la table 
 des renvois placce a la suite de cette Introduction et que nous prions le lecteur 
 de consulter.

 belonged to celebrated men, and exhibit their names or annotations written in 
 their own handwriting. As this circumstance often adds much additional interest 
 to the book, the fact will be found noticed in most cases. To render easy the 
 verification of those so indicated, it has been thought advisable to reproduce, 
 engraved in facshuile, some of the most interesting of these autographs, such, 
 for example, as those of Galileo (43), Kepler (44), Torricelli (45), Borelli (46), 
 and of others, which are to be found in several of the volumes. 
 
 It has been already hinted that, this Catalogue has been prepared by 
 different persons imder the direction of a competent bibliographer, to whom, 
 with a liberality deserving all praise, Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson had 
 confided the general description of this Collection. It was impossible, with 
 such a mass of books, for this labour — which the health of the proprietor did 
 not permit him to superintend continuoxisly, and which had no philosophical 
 object in view, being merely intended to serve for the purposes of a sale by 
 auction — to have either in the formation of the groups, or in the digestion of 
 the notes, or even in the transcribing of the titles, that uniformity which 
 might have been desirable. Faults of this sort, which would be of importance 
 in a work essentially bibliographical, will readily be pardoned in a labour like 
 the present. The notes for the most part are the work of the compiler of the 
 Catalogue, to whom had simply been communicated certain detached remarks 
 made relative to the books, and the owner's thanks are due for the zeal and 
 skill evinced by him in the completion of so laborious an xmdertaking. Some 
 scientific notes, which perhaps the reader will recognize, are from the pen of 
 the owner himself, who, however, has had but small share in pointing out 
 either the rarity or price of the different books described, even in regard to 
 certain volumes which have hitherto remained totally unknown to the most 
 celebrated bibliographers. There is not the slightest intention, however, in 
 these remarks (as will be found stated in note to lot 470) to criticize the 
 extremely useful labours of eminent men, and all observations of the sort must 
 be regarded as they were simjjly meant, as a duty made in compliance with the 
 usual directions of the auctioneers, that every circumstance, however trivial, 
 considered likely to enhance the value of any property entrusted to their charge 
 for disposal should, without fear or favour, be invariably mentioned. In a 
 sale-catalogue such observations are considered useful, and bowing to a rule, 
 inexorably laid down and beyond private control, every latitude has necessarily 
 been permitted, without the slightest restriction, to the cataloguers. 
 
 This portion of the Library has been found of such extent that it has been 
 deemed necessary to divide the sale into two equal parts. The Catalogue of 
 the second part is in the press and will shortly be published.

 leur main. On a generalement indique a propos de chaque volume une telle 
 circonstance, qui sourent augmente beaucoup I'interet qui s'attaclie a tel ou tel 
 livre. Afin de rendre facile la verification de ces indications nous avons era 
 devoir faire reproduire dans quelques planches \es facsimiles des ecritures le plus 
 interessantes, telles par exemple que celles de Galilee (43), de Kepler (44), de 
 Torricelli (45), de Borelli (46), etc. etc. qui se trouvent dans plusieurs de ces 
 volumes. 
 
 On Fa dcja dit : ce Catalogue a ete redige par differentes personnes sous 
 la direction de I'habile bibliograplie que Messieurs Sotbeby et Wilkinson, 
 avec une liberalite de vues a laquelle nous devons rendre bommage, ont 
 charge de la description generale de cette Collection. H etait done impossible 
 qu'en presence d'une telle masse de livres, ce travail, que la sante du possesseur 
 ne lui permettait pas de surveiller avec suite, et qui n'avait pas un but 
 philosophique mais devait servir uniquement a une vente, eut, soit dans la 
 formation des groupes, soit dans la redaction des notes, soit meme dans la 
 transcription des titres toute I'miiformite qu'on aurait pu desirer. Des defauts 
 de ce genre, qui auraient de la gravite dans un ouvrage essentiellement 
 bibliographique, seront facilement excuses dans un travail tel que celui-ci. 
 Les notes, sont en grande partie I'oeuvi'e du redacteur du Catalogue. Nous 
 lui avons simplement communique quelques remarques detachees que nous 
 avions faites sur ces livres, et nous devons le remercier de tout le zele et de 
 toute I'habilete dont il a fait preuve en s'aquittant d'une tache si laborieuse. 
 Certaines notes scientifiques, que peut-etre le lecteur reconnaitra, ont ete 
 redigees par nous meme, mais nous avons pris beaucoup moins de part aux 
 notes destinees a faire connaitre la rarete et le prix des ouvrages qu'on avait 
 a decrire, ainsi qu'a celles dans lesquelles, a propos de certains livres, on a fait 
 remarquer qu'ils etaient restes inconnus aux bibliographes les plus celebres. 
 H n'y a dans ces remarques, nous I'avons declare a propos des livres d'Arith- 
 metique (47), aucune intention critique. Elles pouvaient avoir leur utilite dans 
 un Catalogue de vente, et Ton a du naturellement laisser a cet egard toute 
 latitude aux personnes chargees de le rediger. 
 
 Cette collection s'est trouvee si considerable qu'on a ete oblige de la partager 
 alphabetiqement en deux parties. Le second volume de ce Catalogue est 
 sous presse et paraitra tres prochainement.

 Abati's Satirical Poems are mixed with Prose. For his wit he was sm-named 
 " I'Abbate delle Vivezze e delle Argutezze." The Emperor Ferdinand III 
 composed a very indifierent acrostic in Italian in his praise, instead of 
 pro^ading for his necessities, which, as appears from some<of his poems, 
 were often most pressing.

 This truly important work is full of scientific and historical information. As an 
 instance, we refer to Differentia LXVII, where the author mentions matters 
 respecting Oriental Asia on the authority of verbal communications received 
 from various travellers, quoting amongst others Marco Polo. He also speaks 
 of the bold attempt made about the end of the Xlllth Century by two 
 Genoese navigators (Doria and Vivaldi) to reach India by crossing the 
 Atlantic, being two centuries before Columbus.

 old calf, tvUh arms stamped in gold on sides 12mo. Par. J. Richer, 1586 
 
 A most interesting work to the English Collector, as Swift and Sterne have laid 
 it under great contribution. The former's Art of Punning is in great part 
 extracted from this whimsical production of Tabourot, which contains an 
 extraordinary number of puns and clenches. The volume is filled with 
 witty remarks on Rebus, Puns, Amphibologies, Antistrophes, Aiagrams, 
 Acrostics, llhyme (including several in Macaronic, unknown to the learned 
 M. Delepierre), Epitaphs, &c. &c. It was a favourite work with Charles 
 Nodier, who regarded it as the best collection of " Faceties et QuoHbets " 
 current in ancient times.

 4^0. Roma, Presso al Santi et Compagni, 1592 
 
 A very scarce and curious ■work, containing, at pp. 88-93, a Novella amorosa, 
 written in Latin. Renouard points out as a great cui'iosity that this 
 volume contains seventeen letters of recommendation, all written on the 
 same day, and all differently worded in elegant Latinity.

 Two excessively rare tracts, unknown to M. Renouard when he published the 
 first portion of his work, but inserted in his supplement as genuine Aldines, 
 not only on account of the similarity of types, but also because Sixtus 
 Medices was so great a friend of Paul Manutius, as to render it certain that 
 he would have employed no other printer. See also Medices under the 
 heading Arithmetic in the present catalogue.

 in 1624) of the Problemes Plaisans, by Bachet, that the resolution of the 
 equation ax-\-b=zcy in entire numbers is to be found. But at the end of 
 the present and extremely scarce first edition we find the following general 
 problem, which Bachet states is resolved in his never published EUmens 
 Arithmetiqties, and which shows that the above-mentioned equation had 
 been already resolved generally by him in 1612, when the present edition 
 appeared. 
 
 " Deux nombres premiers entre eux estant donnez (says Bachet, p. 172), trouver 
 un multiple de I'un qui surpasse I'autre, ou quclque sien multiple, de tout 
 nombre donn^ ; tellement que les diets multiples soyent les moiudres qui 
 accomphssent cela." (See also Bachet in the present catalogue.)

 The introduction contains a short but good history of algebra as known 
 
 up to that time, in which mention is made of Leonardo Pisano (by mistake

 FOEMERLT IN THE POSSESSION OF PROFESSOR S. GhERARDI 
 
 4:to. Milano e Venetia, 1547 
 A most extraordinary and unique volume, containing the mathematical discus- 
 sions between Tartaglia, Cardan, and Ferrari, hitherto known only to 
 algebrists, from the allusion to them in the several works of Tartaglia 
 (namely, the Genm-ale Trattato, the Quesiti Diversi, and the Raglonamenti), 
 whence we also derive the information that these debates, which attracted 
 at that period much more attention than they would at present, were con- 
 ducted in the most solemn manner, the challenges between the two cham- 
 pions being delivered by heralds, marching in a grand procession, with 
 their flags, accompanied by a crowd of people, proceeding the same as if

20 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETIOISr OF 
 
 for a knightly toiivnament. The occasion of this deadly feud between two 
 emment mathematicians arose thus : Tlie resolution of the algebraical 
 question of the third degree was discovered, as is well known, by a professor 
 at Bologna, named Scipio Ferro, towards the beginning of the XVIth 
 Century, but who died without publishing liis secret. His method, how- 
 ever, it seems, was guessed by Tartaglia, who communicated it to Cardan, 
 under the most solemn promise (by oath) that he would never divulge it. 
 But Cardan soon forgot his promise, and, heedless of his oath, made the 
 method of resolution public. From that moment a tierce enmity arose 
 between the two mathematicians, and a long literary quarrel was the con- 
 sequence of this dishonourable behaviour. Cardan, smarting under the 
 reproach of having committed perjury, stirred up against Tartaglia one of 
 his own pupils, a Bolognese, like Ferro, the celebrated Lud. Ferrari, who had 
 discovered the resolution of the question of the fourth degree, but is gene- 
 rally supposed to have died without having published any thing, a fact 
 disproved by the discovery of this volume. 
 
 The present Cartelli and Kisposte, twelve in number, are the original defiances 
 and replies sent by the champions to each other, and contain the whole of 
 the scientific questions proposed either by Ferrari or Tartaglia, with the 
 answers. Although mentioned in the works of Tartaglia, these Cartelli 
 remained totally unknown until a distinguished professor of the University 
 of Bologna (M. Silvestro Gherardi, now professor at the Royal University 
 of Turin) discovered this copy, and published its contents in 184G at Bologna, 
 in his most interesting work Di alcuni materiali per la storia della facolta 
 matematlca in Bologna, which, like the original, has, however, now also 
 become exceedingly scarce, and much sought after, although containmg 
 only eleven of these Cartelli, all tliat at the time had been discovered. 
 Since then Professor Gherardi had the good fortune to find the twelfth (the 
 answer of Tartaglia to the sixth Cartello of Ferrari), and has now added it 
 at the end of this treasure, and not bemg reprinted in the materiali, it still 
 remains, in all probability, the only copy in existence. In this great 
 curiosity not only have we six original tracts of Ferrari (perhaps the greatest 
 mathematician of his time, and who was supposed not to have pubhshed 
 any thing, for even Mr. jVIorley (Life of Cardan, vol. I, p. 265), speaking 
 of Ferrai-i, says, " Honourably named and little more, for he died young, 
 and left no written works behind him"), but we have them with his 
 autograph several thnes repeated. In the first Cartello, Ferrari mentions 
 numerous persons in different towns of Italy (more numerous perhaps than 
 it would be possible to find there at the present time), who were able mathe- 
 maticians and good judges of the matter, to whom he states that he will 
 forward his Cartelli. Amongst these is to be found Signor Niccolo Simo, at 
 Bologna ; and the various Cartelli contained in this volume are addressed 
 in Ferrari's autograph to the said Niccolo Simo, each address in precisely 
 the same handwriting. The fact of the Risposta of Tartaglia being also 
 addressed in the same handwriting is explained by Tartaglia's postscript to 
 the first Rispiosta, wherein is stated that as Tartaglia was not personally 
 acquainted with the various mathematicians named by Ferrari in his first 
 letter, he had sent to him 54 copies of his answer, one for Ferrari himself, 
 and the other 53 to be forwarded to such persons as had been honoured 
 with the cartel. 
 
 This extraordinary volume was obtained by M. Libri from Prof. Gherardi, who 
 has ^vritten on the fly-leaves at the beginning an interesting statement 
 respecting his long and persevering inquiries for another copy tln-oughout 
 the whole of the jiublic and private libi-aries of Italy, which resulted in 
 proving that the present collection is quite unique, and that only one of the 
 Ti-acUi in this volume, tlie second Cartello of Ferrari, could be traced, and 
 that existed in the celebrated library of St. Mark, at Venice. In the 
 Seconda Risposta there is a correction of some figures in the autograph of 
 Tartaglia.

 The importance of these works, especi Uy that of Alhazen, is ably pointed out by 
 M. Delambrein his Astronomic Ancienne (vol. II, pp. 411-432). The work 
 of Vitello, who thus Latinized his Polish name Ciolek, is one of the best 
 productions of the Xllltli Century, whether considered as to its ai-range- 
 ment or the quantity of facts adduced therein. The author quotes Alhazen, 
 but seems to have carefully and beautifully compared his statements with 
 those of the Greek philosophers, which he luidoubtedly drew from the 
 original sources. Euclid and Ptolemy are his grand authorities, but con- 
 stantly strengthened by observations drawn frona Apollonius, Theodosius, 
 Menelaus, Tlieo, Pappus, Proclus, Eutocius, and other Greek mathe- 
 maticians.

 The author of this extremely rare and curious work (burnt at Nantes by the 
 public executioner) was, according to Leibnitz, the famous Capucin Father 
 Yves de Paris. This original edition, which was printed at the sole expense 
 of the Marquis d'Asserac, is much sought after by the curious, as in the 
 reprint the predictions respecting Europe, the sole cause of the work being 
 condemned to the flames, were entirely omitted. Amongst the predictions 
 to England are in 166G " 7na/jna calamifas," (the year of the Great Fire of 
 London), 1691, "magna Reipublicfe turbatio " (General Ginkel's Wars in 
 Ireland), 1705, " adversa omnia'''' (a mistake, witness the Successes of the 
 Duke of Marlborough and Earl of Peterborough), 1756, " minatur maximum 
 excidium''' (War declared against France), 1884 " maxima adversitas .^^ ! ! ! 
 
 The manuscript additions are also extremely curious. For instance, under the 
 year 1770, in regard to France the Author prophesies " res tu7-batce et in ■ 
 cUnantes ad mutationem familice^'' a prediction nearly borne out by the 
 disputes of Louis XV with all the Parliaments of his kingdom. In the 
 year 1860 he predicts for France ^'- maxima ftdicttas et Regni summa Propa- 
 gatio^'' curiously fulfilled by the annexation of Nice and Savoy.

 attractive to the English or American Collector. The " Epithalame," or 
 the " Canto Nupcial y otro Matrimonial" on the Marriage of Philip II of 
 Spain with Maiy Queen of England, is in Spanish, a fact totally over- 
 looked by the Bibliographers who have given the title of the work.

 According to Brunet, this highly interesting work, first wi-itten in French by 
 Jean de Lery, and then translated by himself, is much rarer in its Latin 
 dress than in its original. It is also, in reality, more valuable, as it con- 
 tains passages that were suppressed in the French. Amongst other 
 things, the Author gives musical notes to show the intonation of the 
 Caraibs &c. a fact totally unknown to Fdtis. Even the preface is most 
 interesting, as in it is to be found the letter wi'itten to Calvin by Ville- 
 gagnon, so celebrated for deceiving the English Squadron, bj- unexpectedly 
 circumnavigating Scotland and conveying from its west coast Mary Queen 
 of Scotland safely into Brittany. In chapter XX is a dialogue in Brasilian 
 and Latin. The entu-e work bears internal e\'idence of truth, and such 
 only as an eye-witness of the events could have composed.

 Many of these Letters throw much light on English History, especially those 
 addressed to the Legates in England. The long letter from Gonzalo 
 Hernandez de Oviedo, addressed to Cardinal Bembo respecting Pizarro, is 
 highly important for the history of the Conquest of Peru. 
 
 293 America. Lettere di Principi Libro primo 4ito. Venetia, 1573 
 
 Containing the celebrated letter of Gonzalo Hernandez de Oviedo to Cardinal 
 Bembo, respecting the navigation of the River Maranon by the Spaniards 
 and the celebrated Cacique called El Dorado.

 In this remarkable work (f. ii), allusion is made to the recent discovery of 
 America by the Spaniards. On the margins of the " de Ventis," in an old 
 handwriting, is a transcript of the rare Latin poem on the winds (see Libri 
 Catalogue of MSS. No. 229), which oilers some important various readings. 
 The Vita Caroli (enriched with cotemporary MS. Additions) is not a 
 biography, but a TRUE Romance of Chivalry, with its Roland, Oliver, 
 &c. The chapter on Arithmetic seems to have escaped the indefatigable 
 Professor De Morgan.

 title as " Dyalogus m modum coraici dramatis formatus a J. Stamler

 Stamler to Jacob Locher, dated 13 Kal. Junii 150G, is of the highest

 Columbus and Albericus Vespucius as the discoverers of the New World. 
 The Drama has a marginal Commentary, which is important not only to 
 theologians as pointing out heresies, but also to the astronomer. Stamler 
 seems to have been an enemy to judicial astrology.

 tilarfe letter, extremely rare, commencing on A ii, hut wanting C v, 
 H iii, I iii, and having the corners of b iiiii and of 4 leaves at end 
 mended folio. Straszhurg von Martino Schotten, 1484 
 
 This curious work, containing the earliest known decisions in the Court of Love, 
 was written in Latin by Andrew Chaplain of Pope Innocent IV, circa 1260. 
 How, or why, HartUeb should attribute the pieces to Ovid and Albertanus, 
 must remain a mystery, as he undoubtedly had before him the original 
 Latin, bearing the real name of the author, when he made his translation. 
 The mystery is rendered still greater by his having prefixed a letter from 
 Albertanus, the Judge of Brescia, addressed to Walter the Briton.

 by Titian, at the Manfruii Palace — Venice— is the portrait of poetry — and

 took for an intended portrait of Ariosto is only the so universally known 
 portrait of Dante, printed on the title-page of the book as the device or

 The earliest Arithmetic ever published, apparently never .seen by Dr. 
 Peacock, Professor De Morgan (who mentions it only on the autho- 
 
54 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETTON OF 
 
 rity of other bibliographers) and other Writers on the subject. Tlie 
 only bibliographer who appears to have been personally acquainted with 
 its existence Avas Pederici, who describes the work in his Memorie Trevi- 
 giane (p. 73), and ascribes it to the press of Michiele Manzolo, one of the 
 earliest of the Treviso printers. As the copy mentioned by Federiei has 
 been lost or mislaid, subsequent bibliographers have doubted or denied its 
 existence, and looked upon his statement as some blunder, the more espe- 
 cially, as in spite of the most diligent search by Brunet and other philo- 
 biblists, no copy can be discovered in the Bibliotheque Imperiale, the 
 British Museum, or any other library, public or private. To the Mathe- 
 matician, OR Collector of rare books, this is undoubtedly a gem 
 OF extraordinary interest. 
 
 The work is printed in a semi-gothic letter, with 32 lines to a full page, 
 and is without signatures, catchwords, or pagination. The entire volume 
 contains 0'2 leaves, the reverse of the last (containing only Registro and 
 impi'int) being blank. The numerals throughout are Arabic. 
 
 In the case of the present volume, as in other similar cases, when we 
 state that a book was unknown to M. Brunet, Professor De Morgan, or M. 
 Fetis, it is only to prove the great rarity of a work which has escaped the 
 notice of such eminent bibliographers, and not at all with any critical 
 intention of censuring the invaluable labours of these celebrated men.

 This edition was unknown to Professor De Morgan, Brunet, and all other 
 bibliographers. A reprint of 1548 sold for 155 francs in 1858 (see Brunet's 
 edition of 1860). This extremely scarce book is full of fine and curious 
 woodcuts (including digital arithmetic), and borders, with great number 
 of tableaux, with xylographic inscriptions and calculations, as to render 
 the book a sort of Italian xijlixiraphic monument like the Opera nuova, 
 printed at Venice about 1510, which is preserved in a case at the British 
 Museum. The work contams curious arithmetical and algebraical problems. 
 The volume is composed of 80 leaves, and contains 80 xylographic plates, 
 19 of which occupy each the entire page,

 478 Arithmetic. Algorismus novus de integris compendiose sine figu- 
 
 rarum (more Italorum) deletione compilatus 
 lilacfe letter, extremely rare, fine copy, toith rough leaves 
 
 4to. s. I. ^ a. (S.EC. XV. circa 1491) 
 This scarce work is described by Professor De Murgan in his additions. It 
 consists of ten leaves (signatures a, b), having on the reverse of the fourth 
 leaf thirty-six lines. On the title we find " Addita etiam regula," instead 
 of " Addita regida," as hi Prof. De Morgan's description, which shows 
 that the present is a diflerent edition from that which that learned mathe- 
 matician had in his hands. The word regula at the end, instead of regla, 
 shows that it differs also from that which M. Brmiet describes, in his 
 last edition (18G0) of the Manuel, as the first of those which he mentions. 
 Probably, however, om* edition may be the No. 827 of Hain. As at pages 
 8, 11, and 12, of our edition, 1491, is named as anni doralni currentis, very 
 probably this is the year of the edition, or at least of the composition of 
 the work. This small volume was presented by S. Boze to Alb. Linemann, 
 a celebrated astronomer of the XVllth Centmy (see Lalande), as is apparent 
 from an autograph mscription on the reverse of the title.

 Professor De Morgan quotes this work on the authority of Hain, but states he 
 had no opportunity of seemg a copy. It contains the description of a sort 
 of Souan Pan, or arithmetical calculating machine.

 Professor De Morgan quotes only an edition printed at the same place m 1500. 
 
 The work is a description of an Abacus -with Balls, similar to the Chinese 
 
 Souan Pan, the discovery of which in this work is attributed to Appulegius 
 
 Philosophus. M. Brunet (edition of 1860) only quotes subsequent editions 
 
 of this work.

 Brunet, who devotes special articles to Abbaco and Algorithmus in the new 
 edition of his Manuel (1860) in spite of all his researches, does not seem to 
 have met with any copy of this edition, as no mention is made of it. 
 Neither is it mentioned by Pi"ofessor De Morgan, or any other author on 
 Arithmetical books, a most convincing proof of its great rarity. It is 
 a totally different work from the Algoriiim,us Linealis, printed by the same 
 prmter m the XVth Century.

 vert scarce, fine copy 4:to. Argentines per Joliannem JPrgss, 1488 
 
 Professor De Morgan considers this Compotus the only work of the sort printed 
 in the XVth Century. The Algorismus is an early treatise on arithmetic, 
 beginning by Omnia que a primeva, and ascribing to an imaginary philoso- 
 pher, Algus, the origin of the Arabic m-s numerandi. This exceedingly 
 scarce book appears to be the first arithmetical work ever printed in a 
 French town (Strasbourg). This edition of the Algorismus has remained 
 unknoA\Ti to M. Brunet, for in the new edition of his Manuel, in which he 
 has devoted a special article to Algorismus, it is not mentioned. 
 
 486 Arithmetic. Aniani Liber Corapoti, cum Comento, ivoodciits

 This curious treatise is in verse. On the title-page stands the large device of

 Lalande who, however, under the year 1519, fully describes the nature of 
 this interesting work.

 The Arithmetica communis is an extract from Boethius, by John de Muris ; the 
 Proportiones is the work of Thomas Bradwardine, Archbishop of Canter- 
 bury ; the Tract de Latitudinibus treats on the areas of figures, according to 
 the Doctrine of Nicholas Horem (a work stated by Fabricius not to have 
 been printed) ; the Algorithmus, by Purbach, although apparently written 
 to explain the Arabic Notation, takes it for granted that it is generally 
 knoMNTi ; and the Treatise of John of Gmimden is on sexagesimal fractions.

 Paris, " ill edihus Joannis Gourmontii e regione Collegii Coqueretici" s. a. 
 
 A tract so excessively rare that it remained unknown to Professor De Morgan, 
 to M. Brunet (see last edition of Manuel), and to all the bibliographers we 
 have been able to peruse. Jean Gourmont, who printed at Paris, in the 
 year 1514, the Cleopolis of Stoa, is less known than Robert Gourmont. 
 His typographical device on the title of the present Tractatus, exliibits 
 the arms of the family with some difference in the ornament from that on 
 Robert's, as given by M. Brunet, and with these additional French verses, 
 " Qui na sutfisance na riens — 
 Chascun soit content de ses biens." 
 The present Tractatus is perhaps the first modem popular treatise on 
 arithmetic printed in Paris, the other arithmetical works printed in folio, 
 about the same time in that city, not being much fitted for popular use.

 This book is so scarce that it remained unknown to Professor De Morgan, who 
 mentions only a Latin " Rithmimachia," printed at Paris in 1496 and 
 1514.

 with frontispiece and fine portrait of the author, ly Coriolano 
 half bound vellum. folio. Piacenza, 1645 
 
 A work of considerable rarity, as it never was seen by Professor De Morgan, 
 who inserts the name of the author only in the index to his list of Arith- 
 metical books. At the beginning there are some attempts at curious nota- 
 tion (by the means of dots or exponents), in order to show how to express 
 the names of great numbers, 
 
 499 Aeithmetica. Bassi (G.) Arimmetica e Greometria pratica 
 
 folio. Piacenza, 1666 
 
 Scarce, and apparently never seen by the learned Professor De Morgan, who 
 merely inserts the name of Bassi in the index to his "Arithmetical Books," 
 without giving the title of the work. The Proemio contains curious 
 information respecting the history of algebra. Leonardo Fibonacci's manu- 
 script works are disbelieved, and curious notations employed, amongst 
 which is remarkable a peculiar use of the dot (.) over and under the arith- 
 metical figures.

 2 vol. with the arms and beautifiil portrait of Charles Emanuel II of 
 Savoy, frontispiece, and numerous plates 
 THICK PAPER, uncut foUo. BononicB, 1645 
 
 A work, not only useful to the mathematician, but also well-nigh indispensable 
 to the painter and musician. The second volume contains a treatise of 
 arithmetic, with curious inquiries respecting indeterminate problems, and 
 conjectures respecting the origin of the modern arithmetical figures, which 
 Bettini derives from the various number of dots used to express the same 
 numbers, Brunet says that it is difficult to find these volumes, and this is, 
 no doubt, the reason why they have not been mentioned among Prof, De 
 Morgan's arithmetical books. See also under Bettini in the present 
 Catalogue,

 This Apiaria novissima forms the third part of Bettini's Apiaria, and is the 
 most scarce of the three. (See Brunet), It contains much curious informa- 
 tion, for instance (sec page 13G) the description of an hygrometer (called 
 by Bettini Udiscopimn) invented by the buys at 'i^ologwa., pueriBomnienses.

 Bhascara was born in the year of Salivahana, 1036 (A.D. 1114), and was the 
 most eminent mathematician of his time. His LiUwati and Bija Ganita 
 seem to have entirely superseded the more ancient Treatises on Arithmetic 
 and Geometry. The Introductions by Taylor and Strachey are important 
 for the history of science in India. The Liliwati sold for 26 francs at the 
 Langles sale, and the Bija Ganita for 40 francs in 1857. See Brunet

 A collection of 133 aritlmietical questions with solutions. The work is so

 This edition has always been considered a gi-eat rarity, and even so early as 
 1775 it sold for £2. 2s. at Dr. Askew's sale. Probably in consequence of 
 its great ivarity this edition was neither seen nor mentioned by Professor 
 De Morgan.

 This is a most interesting copy as it has the autograph signature (on 
 title-page) and notes of Petri de Borgio, the celebrated Arithmetician, 
 whose work, -smtteu in Italian and printed at Venice in 1484, is entitled 
 " La nobel Opera di Aritlunetica." (See Nos. 512, 513, 514.)

 riEST EDITION, BXTEEMELY EAEE, Jine copy, half morocco 
 
 ^to. Venetia, 1484 
 
 Sold for 151 francs in 1857 (Brunet, edition of 1860). The edition of 1482, 
 mentioned by Maittaire, on the authority of a mistake in the Pinelli Cata- 
 logue, is clearly proved by Brunet, Prof. De Morgan, and others, never to 
 have existed. The earliest mentioned by the learned Mazzuchelli is this of 
 1484, which, however, he could not have seen, or he would not have 
 doubted Orlandi having any authority to call Borgo a Venetian, since Soprani 
 and Oldoini had both placed him among the Scrittori Liguri, for the 
 author in this work distinctly designates himself " Piero Borgi da 
 Veniesia." The list of numerical abbreviations at the commencement 
 deserves notice.

 Mazzuchelli, who does not mention this edition, could evidently have never 
 seen even the 1484 he cites, or he would not have doubted the correctness 
 of Orlandi in calling the author P. Borgi di Venezia. Boi-gi is referred to 
 by Tartaglia.

 This edition was also unknown to Mazzuchelli, for he takes no notice of it. Had 
 he ever seen the book he never would have asserted, " la cui patria non ci 
 e ben nota," as herein the author is distinctly stated to be " Piero Borgi 
 da Venesia," and this fact is again repeated in a sonnet at the end.

 his Arithmetical Boohs, speaks of a treatise of the same author on propor-

 Probably one of the rarest of Arithmetical Books, thus alluded to by Prof. 
 De Morgan, no mean authority on the subject : — " This book, which very 
 few have mentioned at all, and fewer still from inspection, is a part of the 
 rich bequest by the late Mr. Grenville to the nation, &c." In the Gren- 
 ville Catalogue, on the authority of Laire, this is stated to be the first 
 work printed on arithmetic, but that assertion is disproved by the Abbaco 
 printed in 1478 (see No. 470 of the present Catalogue). Dr. Dihdin has 
 descnhed another, "a very indifferent copy," wanting the title-page, in liis 
 .Supplement to the Catalogue of Earl Spencer's magnificent Library, and 
 has given facsimiles of the method " of teaching numbers by means of the 
 position of the fingers," and of several of the other v:oodcuts. Judging 
 from the binding, this was probably the dedication copy to Julian, Son 
 OF the ]\Iagnifico Lorenzo de Medici.

 " Cataldi shews himself a most intrepid calculator. But the greatest novelty of 
 the book is the introduction of continued fractions, then, it seems, for the 
 first time presented to the world." — Prof. De Morgan. 
 
 It is well known that the discovery of continued fractions was, for 
 more than a century and a half, attributed to Ijord Brounker, See also

 Very rare ; Cataneo's name is inserted by Professor De Morgan in his Index, 
 but as a work not seen by him, for he has not given the title of it. Cataneo

 526 Arithmetic. Citolini (A.) Tipocosmia 8vo. Venet. Valqrisi, 1561 
 
 A very curious and rare work, which may be regarded as a synopsis of science, 
 arranged in dialogues divided into seven days. It treats of Astronomy, 
 Arithmetic, Geometry, Geography, Music, Painting, Sculpture, &c. The 
 author has escaped the notice of Lalande, Professor De }.Iorgan, F(jtis, 
 and other celebrated bibliographers. Fontanini and Zeuo both mention tlie 
 Tipocosmia as tinged with "proposizione ereticali."

 This work, which in consequence of its rarity seems to have been totally- 
 unknown to Lalande, Professor De Morgan, and other wi-iters on Mathe- 
 matics, was printed " communibus impensis Joannis Miller atque Joannis 
 Fcenisecse," and is probably the earliest record of a literary partnership 
 between an author and his printer. The numerous woodcuts, some the 
 size of the page, also relate to perspective, (jeometry, etc. and likewise exhibit 
 the curious game of rithmomachia. In this volume also are engi-aved Musi- 
 cal notations (some with xylographic inscriptions), and as a curious fact 
 may be noted that common musical notes are here employed to show how 
 Hebrew should be pronounced. Ancient manuscript annotations and 
 additions on the margin, apparently by the author himself, add to the 
 importance of this most interesting volume.

 This scarce work, a portable Cyclopsedia of the Learning then necessary to 
 constitute a Scholar, is not mentioned by Professor De Morgan. Besides 
 Latin, Greek and Hebrew Grammars, there is a curious Dialogue in 
 French for the learning of that language. It contains numerous chansons 
 in different languages, including two Odce of Horace, all with musical 
 notes.

 Morgan, who however speaks in high terms of his Logistica universalis, 
 printed in 1687.

 549 Aetthmetic. Ghaligai (F.) Pratica d'Aritbmetica 
 
 4:to. Firenze, Giunfi, 1552 
 This edition is so rare that it was unknown to Professor De Morgan, who men- 
 tions two others, one without date, and the other 1562. Ghaligai mentions 
 Giovanni del Socio as his own master, to whom and to Lionardo Pisano he 
 assigns the appended Treatise on Algebra, by him termed Arcibra, a 
 science he states to have been introduced from the Arabic by Guglielmo de 
 Lunis. In regard to Numeration Ghaligai quotes Paolo da Pisa, and res- 
 pecting Algebra, Euclid, Leonardo Pisano, and Giovamii del Sodo. The 
 twelfth book of this work on the quadratic indeterminate equations is 
 taken from a celebrated work of Leonardo Pisano, lost a long time, but 
 recently discovered again through the indefatigable exertions of the learned 
 Prince Boncompagni.

 This Arithmetica is the Introduction to Logistica Universalis, published at 
 Naples in 1687, of which M. De Morgan gives a very favourable account. 
 The Author was an eminent Mathematician, and evidently far superior 
 to the average of his contemporaries.

 Professor De Morgan does not seem to have seen this learned and scarce work, 
 as he mentions Kircher only on the authority of Dr. Peacock iu his 
 excellent Chronological List of Works on Arithmetic. This Aritlimologia 
 is highly interesting for the history of numerical figures, deriving, on the 
 authority of Abenragel, the origin of the Arabic numerals, " a Brahmanis 
 Indise Sapientibus ex figura circuli secti inventi." This work contains 
 also many curious indeterminate problems and " arcana numerorum."

 An edition so rare that it remained unknown to Professor De Morgan, who 
 mentions an edition printed at AiTgsburg in 1514, and reports another on 
 the authority of Kloss as printed at Opjienheym hi the same year. Kastner 
 mentions only an edition printed at Frankfurt in 1544, and evidently knew 
 no other. In this Arithmetic the computation is by Counters and Roman 
 Numerals, the Arabic being merely explained and placed in that portion 
 showing how any number should be expressed at length in words, or by 
 Roman or Arabic signs,

 As is well known to scientific men this is the first work in which an Air- 
 BaUoon was described and iigured, but his descriptions of other useful and 
 curious inventions have been apparently unnoticed or ignored. Amongst 
 these we call attention to the Method of teachmg the Deaf and Dumb to 
 Write, the Application of Meteorological Changes to the Motion of Clocks, 
 the Observations on Ai-ithmetic (not mentioned by the learned Professor 
 De Morgan), the Descriptions of Microscopes, Telescopes, &c. &c. 
 Unfortunately for his reputation Lana was a believer in Alchemy, especially 
 in the Transmutation of Metals,

 A work of considerable rarity, unknown to Professor De Morgan, who mentions 
 this Author's Arithmetica, printed at Sora m 1643. On the margins of 
 this copy are the workings of several of the smns in a neat handwriting of 
 the period.

 A curious work, containing the solutions of numerous algebraic problems, some 
 indetei'minate. The Arabic origin of the word algebra is here derived from 
 " its inventor Al-Geber," and we note as a curious fact that the Arabic 
 characters used to express the different powers given in this work, are in 
 perfect accordance with the modern European notation, 
 
 560 Arithmetic. Leybourn (W.) Arithmetical Eecreations (with com-

 Not mentioned by Professor De Morgan. Without doubt this was the original 
 work which, enlarged afterwards by the author, appeared in 1694, under the 
 title of "Recreations of Divers Ivinds." (See De Morgan.)

 Leonardo of Pisa (Fibonaccij was the most illustrious mathematician of the 
 Xlllth century. In this second edition Prince Boncompagni says, that he 
 has corrected many errors which were in the first, published by him in 
 1854. (For other writings of this author see Leonardo Pisano in the pre-

 This extremely rare book, which remained unknown to Professor De Morgan, is 
 partly i)riuted in red and partly in black. After the first leaf, containuig the 
 title and the usual Address of the Stampatore to the reader, we find five pages 
 with the alphabet and some prayers printed in ditierent kinds of gothic 
 and italic letters, followed by almost four jiages in Roman characters con- 
 taining other prayers, and then two pages and a half with precepts con- 
 cerning readuig and writing. Then follow four pages, entirely xylographic, 
 with various characters, and at the end we find the Abaco, tilling entirely 
 thirty-one pages in italic, witli the various abljreviations employed at that 
 time "in la Cita di Vinegia," The signatures, types, etc. in this volume 
 (in which even the caracieres cle civilite are employed towards the end) are 
 so rude and irregular as to show that this book, as is stated by the printer 
 at the lieginji.Ing, was issued only for children, and this will account for its 
 rarity, nearly every copy no doubt having been thoroughly destroyed in 
 the use.

 These Mercantile Tables are not unjustly considered as great rarities, most of 
 the copies havhig no doubt been destroyed by constant use. Although 
 Professor De Morgan gives the name of Mariani in his Index, he does not 
 seem to have seen the book, as he does not give the title of the work.

 This is the fist look on Arithmetic ever printed m the French language, and is 
 professedly a translation from the Spanish of L'Ortie, or Ortega, {both 
 signifying Nettle). Of the Spanish original, if ever printed prior to 1515, 
 no copy can now be foimd ; and this French version differs considerably 
 from the Italian printed at Rome in the same year. Although both works 
 agi'ee in some poi'tions, the French contains so many things not in the 
 Italian that it may be regarded as a different work. 
 
 According to M. Brunet (on the authority of M. Chasles), the first work on 
 Algebra, published in French is the " Arismetique d'Et. de Laroche," 
 printed at Lyons in 1520. But, like most of the aritlmietical books pub- 
 lished at that time, the present arismetique by Ortega contains also much 
 algebraical matter, and it was published five years before that of Laroche. 
 It must be noticed that, amongst other things relating to the theory of 
 numbers, the work of Ortega contains a table of the divisions and prime 
 numbers (called here qui ne tiennent regie) up to 99. In the chcqntre de 
 progression (fol. xxi) it is e^'ident that Ortega by the help of what he 
 calls maisons, went so for as to know that in order to multiply two terms 
 of a progi-ession, he had to add together the indexes of the terms of the 
 same progression. This is the basis of the exponential notation and 
 calculus, a very important discovery. This chapter on progi-ession is not 
 in the Itaban work printed at Rome.

 Hutton pronounces this work " a very masterly and complete treatise on those 
 sciences as they then stood," and gives a full description of the contents 
 (Tracts vol. II, p. 201-206) ; but the best account of Pacioli, (the guidmg 
 star of succeeding geometricians) and of his -vsTitings, will be found in 
 the Arithmetical Books by Prof. De Morgan, and in the Histoire des Sciences 
 MatMmatiques en Italic par G. Libn,'" vol. Ill, pp. 133-145. One fact 
 seems to have escaped unnoticed, which is, that at the beginning of the 
 work (after the first eight preliminary leaves), besides a beautiful border, 
 there is the portrait of the Author, which is also repeated in other parts 
 of the volume. A copy sold for 80 francs at Labey's sale.

 Second edition of the foregoing work, " described," says Professor De Morgan, 
 " by Hutton, Montucla, Peacock, Libri, &c. ; but it would yet require a 
 volume of description to do it justice. It is sometunes called the first work 
 on Arithmetic printed ; but Calandri, Peter Borgo, three already mentioned 
 in the introduction, and perhaps more, take precedence. But it is cer- 
 tainly the first printed on Algebra, and probably the first on book-keeping."

 579 Arithmetic. Paris da Montefano (Fra Ludovico) Scala d'Araceli 
 
 moltiplicata, loitli the folding leaf sheioing the loorking of the sum 
 
 Mo. Boma, 1652 
 
 An exceedingly scarce and curious working of a sum in progression, similar to 
 the nails of the horseshoe, but instead of ending with the 28th duplication, 
 the calculating friar has extended it to the 124th, requiring a line of 38 
 figures to express the total. The work is divided mto 40 Comparationi, 
 amongst which are "A Acini di Grano, a Formiche, al Volato d'Ucelli, al 
 Moto de Pesci, a Lettere alfabetiche manoscritte, a lettere stampate, a 
 Dame vestite di Perle, al Moto de Cieli, a Acqua corrente de Fiumi, &c. 
 &c." It seems to be totally unknown to bibliographers, and has even 
 escaped the indefatigable researches of the learned Professor De Morgan.

 This work is so extremely rare that it remained unknown to Professor De 
 Morgan ; it contains veiy cui'ious problems and interesting propositions 
 resjiecting the properties of the exponents. The work is printed with the 
 peculiar orthography used by the Author.

 This rare work (unkno^vn to Montucla, to Chasles, and even to the learned 
 Professor De Morgan) is dedicated to Unicorno, the mathematician. At 
 the end are various algebraical and geometrical problems (some relating to 
 Indeterminate Algebra) wi-itten in verse, concluding with — 
 Ma s' Iddio mi da vita me dclibro

 This copy formerly belonged to the celebrated leaguer and scholar the Bene-

 This part coutains the arithmetical portion of this curious work, which does not 
 seem to ha^•e been seen by Professor De Morgan, who merely inserts the

 Avenione impressus Arte et solertia Joannis de Channey, s. a. (circa 1520) 
 
 Prefixed is a treatise " de quantitate discreta" (arithmetic), which was un- 
 knoAvn to the whole of the bibliogTaphers whom we have been able to consult. 
 Even the name of Guyion was unknown to Tjalande. The volume was 
 printed at Avignon, very probably about 1520, by Jelian de Channey, who at 
 that time adopted the first Aldine anchor, and whose editions are extremely 
 rare. Brunet (see the Manuel in Songe, and Giroufflier) quotes four dif- 
 ferent books (the first m 1516) printed by Channey, whose productions at 
 Avignon were even unkno^^■Il to Panzer. Sec in the Manuel (vol. II, p. 413) 
 the anchor device of Chamiey, whose name, however, has been accidentally 
 omitted in the Liste of the marques Typograplmiues, at the end of the IVth 
 voliune of the Manuel. Renouard, in his life of Aide VAnden, mentions 
 only a single book printed by Channey. In this volume, havmg signatures 
 A-H, all the sheets consist of four leaves, with the exception of D and H, 
 the former of which has two leaves, and the latter six, the last leaf in the 
 volume being blank, and contaming ancient manuscript astronomical anno- 
 tations in French. The volume is presumed to be perfect, but as from 
 want of any other copy being known it is impossible to collate it, it will 
 be sold not subject to collation.

 Scarce. This work seems not to have been seen by Professor De IMorgan, as 
 he only inserts the name of the Author in his index, without giving its title.

 Extremely scarce, and even unknown to Professor De Moi:gan, who quotes the 
 
72 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OE 
 
 " Libretto di Abaco " of the same Author, published at Venice in 1526. 
 The Libretti seem to have been printed at the expense of the cook of the 
 Duke of Ferrara {M. Rinaldo Cuoco dello III. M. Duca) in 1546, although 
 an attempt has been made, by erasure and the use of a Pen, to alter the 
 date to 1552.

 So scarce that it remained unknown to Professor De Morgan (who mentions 
 another work by the same Author), Weidler, Lalande, &c. The Author is 
 described on title-page as Francese and cittadino di Ferrara.

 beautiful Manuscript ok paper, liaving a richly illuminated 
 titlepage, iclth several figures and the author' s portrait, surrounded hy 
 a horder, executed in goJd and colours on vellum 4<to. SiEC. xv. 
 
 In old Venetian morocco, ornamented sides, gilt gaufr^ edges, with brass knobs 
 and clasps having stamped in letters of gold on obverse of cover. Per fare 
 CHE Dire," and on the reverse, " Moderata Durant." This very com- 
 plete Italian treatise on Arithmetic (300 pages closely written) seems un- 
 known to all bibliographers. The author, in his preface, informs us that 
 LucA DAL BoRGO was his relative " affine " and preceptor, meaning the 
 celebrated Pacioli, whose Summa de Arithmetica was first prmted at Venice 
 in 1494. It is difficult to ascertain exactly at what time this work was 
 written. The haudwi-iting (which is very fine), paper and binding, belong 
 to the second portion of the XVth Century. There are diflerent dates in 
 the work embodied in various problems or eserapj. For instance, from 
 leaf 94 to leaf 98, the whole of the numerous esempj, or calculations, sup- 
 pose the amount settled between the years 1370 and 1373, while at leaf 
 101 there is a Lettera di Camhio, with the supposed date of 1522. There 
 is also a figiire of a hand, sho%vkig how to find Easter from 1517 to 1544, 
 and in the explanation of that figm-e the author says that the rule may be 
 used for the future as well as for the past. It is well known that the 
 dates contained in the problems solved in old arithmetical books cannot 
 always be of a great avail for the purpose of tracing the true date of the 
 composition of the work, as for instance, we find in the arithmetic of 
 Calandri, printed at Florence in 1491, various problems with ditferent dates 
 from 1482 to 1495, and it may be that the esem2y', with old dates, were 
 taken from earlier works. Stefani, at the beginnmg of this work, 
 speaking to the reader, says " Sperando (questa opera) sotto U vostro 
 patrocinio et ombra quella potere tandem un giorno secura a luce uscire 
 pregoli non si sdegnino la predictta mia opera quantunque in la roza et 
 imperfecta eta da me compilata qiialche fiata trascorrere, perche li rendo 
 certi troveranno in ella molti belli et occorenti casi si da altri autori gik 
 in varj loclii ascosi ; et maxime dal mio Reverendo et excellente afiine et 
 preceptore Maestro Luca dal Borgo (in le cui laude non mi pare al pre- 
 sente dovermi extendere) come anche molte dal mio debole ingegno calculati 
 
 Et . . . . li piacera iudicarimi degno d'excusatione et alia decta mia 
 
 gioveuile eta ascriverlo," etc. 
 
 By comparing this manuscript with the great Snmma, written by Pacioli, 
 we find tliat Stefani has borrowed many things from liis preceUore et affine, 
 but that in many instances the Avorks (although they indicate a sort of 
 common origin, or affinity, as was the case between the two authors) show 
 considerable dififerences in the esempj as well as in the general arrangement 
 of the matters. The work of Stefani is generally written in a much better 
 Italian than that of Pacioli, who mixes bad Latin and bad Italian in the 
 most extraordinary way. 
 
 As it would take a volume to give a complete idea of this work of 
 
THE LIBEI LIBEAEY. 73 
 
 Stefani, which, amongst other things, contain several questions respecting 
 the theory of numbers, we must content ourselves, Avithout entering into 
 details, generally to state that very probably the work wliich we now 
 describe contains large extracts, not from the Summa printed in 1494, 
 never quoted by Stefani, but from other works of Pacioli on tlie same sub- 
 ject, which have remained unpublished, and are now lost, an account of which 
 however he has given in his Summa (f. 67 of the 1494 edition). The first is 
 that which he sent in 1470 to liis pupils, the brothers Ropiansi ; the second 
 that which he dedicated to the " Giovani di Perugia in 1476," and another, 
 he Avrote at Zara in 1481. If we were asked to give an opinion on the 
 subject, we should perhaps feel inclined to suppose that Stefani has bor- 
 rowed what he took from Pacioli, from the work wi-itten in 1476, which 
 Pacioli himself says, was not so full as the subsequent works (" nel quale 
 non con tanta copiosita se tratto"). No doubt Pacioli embodied much of 
 his former " quattro volumi" in his Summa, but in all probability it is 
 only in this Manuscript of Stefani that we shall ever find extracts from 
 the previous unpublished works, which were most probably neglected after 
 the issue of the great Summa.

 With the autograph signature and numerous Manuscript notes of the celebrated 
 arithmetician and philosopher Peter Ramus, massacred on the Feast of 
 Saint Bartholomeio . This celebrated work is generally believed to be the 
 first in which the si;j,ns -j-, — , appear for plus and minus, of which he claims 
 to be the inventor. It is divided into three books ; the first containing a 
 complete and ample Treatise on Arithmetic ; the second an Exposition of 
 the tenth Book of Euclid's Elements, and the third a Treatise on Algebra, 
 of which he could not have been the introducer (as sometimes stated) mto 
 Germany, for he gives rules from C. Rudolph and Adam Riese (Latinized 
 into Gigas). A MS. note states that it was the first book that gave the 
 notion and use of logarithms, and he certainly seems to be the earliest 
 author who introduced the numeral exponents of the powers — 3, — 2, 
 — 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, &c., both positive and negative as far as integers.

 This German edition of Stifel seems to have escaped the notice of Professor 
 De Morgan, who mentions only the Latin original. Stifel uses the sign + 
 for addition, and — for substraction, and distinctly states that whenever 
 you see -\- you may read Und ocler Mer {Et vel plus) and where you 
 see — Weniger ocler minder (paucius vel minus). He also distinctly claims 
 these signs as his own invention, " Darumb so gedenck nur uicht, das dise 
 ding schwer seyen zu lernen, oder zubehalten, und ist doch die gantz sach 
 DiSER MEINER ZEICHEN hiemit gantz auszgericht unnd an tag gebracht." 
 He gives 34 Coss Examples from Adam Riese, and from Christopher Rudolff 
 the eight Rules of Coss. For his other invented signs see reverse of

 This early and now almost undiscoverable arithmetic was formerly very 
 popular in Holland, and the editions nearly as numerous as Cocker's in 
 England. The dedication is dated 20 July, 1589. Neither the author 
 nor his work seem to have been known to Professor De Morgan.

 Professor De Morgan, speaking of Tonstall, who was successively Bishop of

 very rare, vellum Svo. Wolferhyti, 1662 
 
 The Brunellus of Nigel Wireker, a monk of Canterbury, in the reign of 
 Richard I, is a poem of considerable hmnoui'. Eoger Bacon and Chaucer 
 were both admirers of the Brunellus, and have quoted it. The Pseudo- 
 Ovidii Vetula is a most extraordinary work, wi'itteu (as is supjjosed) by 
 Leo Protonotarius, during the Xlllth Century. This poem is so free and 
 so full of indecencies as to preclude quotations. But, curiously enough, 
 it contains much scientific and mathematical information, chiefly respect- 
 ing what has been more recently called De Partitione numerormn, applied 
 to the game of dice, and almost bordering on the calculus of probabilities. 
 This poem contains also descriptions of Ludus Scaccorum and Lucius 
 Rythmimachioe, and at the end of the liher primus we find the follow- 
 ing lines — 
 
 " quid illo 
 *' Pulchrius esse potest exercitio numerorum ? 
 " Quo di\iiiantur numeri plerique per imiun. 
 " Iguoti notimi, sicut ludunt apud Indos 
 " Ludum diccntes Algebrte Almuegi-abalseque ? 
 " Inter aritlnneticos ludos pulcherrimmn hie est 
 " Ludus arithmeticse praxis; descriptio cujus 
 " Plus caperet, quam sufficiat totus liber iste." 
 
 As this poem De Vetula was first printed about 1470, it foUows that it was 
 m this (in some parts) obscene work that the notion and name of Algebra 
 first appeared in print. This work is so scarce, and so little known, that 
 even Professor De Morgan, when he published his Arithmetical Books, 
 seems not to have been aware of its existence. The volume contains several 
 plates, with arhhmetical figures, and at the beginning a large folding plate, 
 slightly mended on the margin, containing the figm'es of Vetula and 
 Brimellus.

 On the title-page is the device of the Anchor and Dolphin. A rare and curious 
 work (containing Novelle), which Apostolo Zeno blames Fontanini for not 
 mentioning. In the sesta Veglia, the author treats of Meretrici, Giuochi, 
 &c. This edition was unknown to Mazzuchelli, Haym, Capponi, and other 
 bibliographers, but is mentioned by Gamba in his catalogue of Novellieri.

 Of this work the Storia Utteraria d' Italia (II, 199) observes, •' L'Eroe era degno 
 di Storia, e lo Storico che gli e toccato, ha mostrato condotta, forza, e stile 
 uguale al Soggetto." 
 
 614 Arrighii (E.) Sapientiae Pignus amabile Philosophia Universa, with the

 vellum 4<to. Florentice, 1647 
 
 A very interesting work for the history of sciences. Although this Thesis was 
 disputed in the Jesuit College at Florence, Galilei is several times men- 
 tioned therein for his astronomical discoveries, and even the discovery of 
 the sun's spots is attributed conjointly to himself and to Father Scheiner. 
 At page 58 there is a large etching representing the thermometer and other 
 meteorological instruments.

 selling for 80 francs at C. Nodier's sale. The title-page is " Rationarium 
 Evangelistarum omnia in se euangelia. prosa. versu. ymaginibusq3 q3 miri- 
 fice complectens." In the preface, Georgius Relmisius tells us that the 
 Distichs to each picture are by Peter Rosemheim. The plates are brilliant, 
 and the copy is fine.

 This extremely rare tract, very rudely printed, contains several geometrical 
 diagrams, with numerical figures, also all xylographic. This edition differs 
 from any edition of the same work quoted by Brunet {Manuel, edition of 
 1860), and seems earlier.

 Excessively rare, if not unique. Mazzuchelli was unable to trace any other 
 work of tliis author than a " Tractato delle Cometc," existing in manu- 
 script in the Saibanti Library in Italy. The fine woodcuts exhibiting the 
 author in his study with his book and astronomical instruments are very 
 curious.

 This EXTREMELY RARE book was entirely unknown to M. Brunet, and other 
 bibliogi-aphers. It contains the first icorh on astronomy 2yid>lished in French, 
 and is beautifully printed in a large Gothic type, with numerous woodcuts 
 and beautiful diagrams a la maniere noire, with xylographic inscriptions. 
 The work differs from the Thcorica Planetarvm of Purbach, and very pro- 
 bably was compiled from various Latiu sources. At the beginnino- there 
 is a French poem (a rondeau or ballad), and at the end there are two small 
 treatises by Ptolemy, " sm- les ArmUles et le meteoroscope." In a MS. 
 note at the commencement, it is stated that this copy (the only one kno-u-n) 
 was sold for 305 francs in 1852 at Paris.

 2 vol. in 1 
 riEST EDiTioisr, VERT EARE, hut sUglitly stained, very large copy, 
 toith rough leaves 4:to. Brixioe, I. Britannicus, 1497 
 
 These singular sermons are much sought after by collectors, not only for their 
 excessive rarity, but also for the quaint, humorous and even burlesque 
 language employed by the preacher on the most serious subjects. 
 D. Clement has minutely described this edition in his " Bibliotheque 
 curieuse." Many of Barletta's expressions will raise a smile, and some even 
 excite disgust, but in those days things were called by theu* vulgar names 
 without exciting ridicule, and the naked legs of tables required not the 
 prudish drapery advocated by the modern Yankee lady to prevent the 
 intrusion of indecent thoughts. This preacher by his contemporaries was 
 indeed so much admired that it passed into a proverb, "nescit predicare qui 
 nescit barlettare." A fact worth noting is that in these Sermons not only 
 is Dante frequently quoted, but also the Accrha of that Cecco d'Ascoli, who 
 was burnt at Florence, in the XlVth Century, as a heretic. This work 
 is cited to form part of the Bibliografia Dantesca, by Colomb de Batines.

 sold in modern sales from 26 to 38 francs) but did not know the original 
 edition of a work which he calls ouvrage singulier.

 A valuable Dictionary for the explanation of obsolete words. Prefixed is 
 " a briefe Instruction of Arytlunetike," which on account of its rarity was 
 unknown to Professor De Morgan, or he would jjrobably have noticed as a 
 curiosity that in those days it was necessary to teach " a young learner in 
 the reading of the figvires both for tlie booke and also for the Tables." 
 At the beginning there is in the handwi'itmg of tlie celebrated Magliabechi

 These familiar letters by the celebrated author of the infamous " Hermaphro- 
 ditus" are most interesting for the history and state of literature during the 
 first half of the XVth Century, Some of them are perhaps too Hcentious, 
 but nevertheless highly amusing, see particularly that adtlressed " Alvissio 
 Crotto." The letter to Camljio showing tliat he was sprung from a 
 kniglitly race, and that the '^ primus auctor faniilia'" was " Eques REGIS

 Anglic," &c. is an important piece of autobiography, as is also his letter 
 to Poggio, excusing his lasci'saous verses on the plea of similar ha%ang been 
 wi-itten by the ancients he mentions, adding that his were merely sports 
 of fancy, and as Poggio himself well knew not applicable to the -m-iter's 
 own conduct. He also justifies himself by the practice of a learned and 
 devout priest (Roberto Caracciolo ?), whom he himself avers to have heard 
 frequently use the basest of words to describe base acts. Weiss (article 
 Panormita, in Biogi-aphie universelle) calls this edition rarissime, and refers 
 to the Pmelli Catalogue for the Abbe MoreUi's description of it. That 
 learned bibUogi-apher emphatically says, "Inter libros summaj raritatis 
 huuc refen'e omnino par est."

 Beccatelli, better known as Panormita, was the author of the licentious poems 
 published with the title " Hermaphroditus." These epistles are highly 
 interesting both m a literary and historical point of view, and contain the 
 description of several ancient Manuscripts which were still in existence 
 during the XVth Century.

 A most interesting and singularly rare volume, evidently privately printed, 
 which will account for its great scarcity even in 1681, when Speuer described 
 it as " rarissimum nee ullo modo parabilem." It contains all the documents

 Patavino Philosophi primi Paris) Circulus Pisanus de Veteri et

 In this exceedmgly scarce work Berigardus (in French Beauregard), at the 
 same time an admirer of Aristotle, and a scoffer at the whole religion of 
 Italy, introduced (sometimes even with great praise) the discoveries of 
 Galileo and his followers. Men of great learning, namely, Giov. Targioni 
 and the learned editor of the " Saggi dell' Accademia del Cimento," pub- 
 lished in 1841, in a 4to. volume, at Florence, by order of the Grand Duke of 
 Tuscany (p. 29) have quoted Berigardus as having mentioned in this edition 
 
THE LIBRI LIBEARY. 113 
 
 (published in 1643) not only the invention of the barometer, but also its 
 application to the mensuration of the height of the mountains. As the 
 celebrated Pascal constructed, in 1647, a barometer without making any 
 allusion to the previous discovery of Torricelli, made in 1643, the Italians 
 retahated by qiiotuig Beriguardiis as affording the proof, in this edition of 
 1643, of the barometer not being only uivented by Torricelli, but also of its 
 application to the determination of the height of the mountains being 
 known in Italy in 1643. Targioni (Notizie defjli agrjrandhaenti delle 
 scienze fisiche in Toscana, vol. I, jj. 207) quotes with the date of 1643 
 the passage in which Beriguardus {Circulus 7, p. 621) mentions such a 
 fact as follows : " Compertum enim est Aquam vel aliud Coi-pus liquidum, 
 tanto magis premi, quanto plus Aeris ipsi mcumbit, Demonstratur in Tubo 
 illo Vitreo, in cujus parte superiori Argentum Vi^'um videtur rehnquere 
 spatium vacuum, ut jam dictum est nam in alta Turri, ubi minus est 
 Aeris, incmnbentis stagnanti Hydi'argyro in quo est tubus, plus relinquitur 
 vacui, quam ad basin Turris, vel montis, ubi altior Aer magis premit 
 Hydrargyrum, eumque compellit per tubiun paulo altius efferri, et sic 
 relinquere minus vacui. Nisi forte dicamus in summa Turri, plura 
 subtiliora corpuscula subire Vitreum, ea parte qua creditur relinqui vacuum 
 majus, ad basin vero Turris paucioi'a, atque ita citra compressionem res 
 explicetur." Now the truth is that whilst the sentence as quoted is 
 really to be founds page 621 of the edition of 1661, no such sentence is to 
 be found m the edition of 1643 of the Circulus Pisaiiu-s, and not even such 
 a page as 621 m that edition, which is divided into four small parts. The 
 two editions of the work being qiute diflerent in their contents as well as 
 in their divisions, it has been no easy task to find m the tu'st edition the 
 chapter in which the quotation ought to be found. At length we traced 
 the chapter or Circulus de Nutritione, at page 37 of the fourth part of the 
 first edition, but found that the whole of the passage alluded to and above 
 cited was wanting, and that in the second edition, it was interpolated 
 between the words " ut luculentius in meteoris declaratum est," and the 
 words " Missis igitur exemplis," etc. No doubt the extraordinary rarity 
 of this fii'st edition has been the cause of quoting from the reprint a 
 sentence which has been so often cited in the liistory of natural philo- 
 sophy, as printed in 1643, but which in reality was not published before 
 1661.

 This excellent catalogue, of which the portion relating to printed books was 
 executed by the Abbes Sallier and Boudot, and that of Manuscripts by A. 
 Mellot, is thus divided: — Theologie, 3 vol. Belles Lettres, 2 vol. Juris- 
 prudence, tome I : and Catalogus Codicmn Manuscriptorum Bibliothecse 
 Regiie, 4 vol. These last four volumes ai-e of the greatest importance for 
 the history of science, on account of the descriptions of the numerous scien- 
 titic Manuscripts, amongst which are numerous unpublished and autograph 
 works of Maurolycus, which had remamed almost unknown.

 1033 Bija Ganita, or the Algebra of the Hindus, translated, with Introduc- 
 
 tion, by E. Strachey, tmcut 4>to. London (1812) 
 
 In the Bija Ganita are rules for the solution of mdeterminate problems and 
 various propositions, supposed to have been invented by Bachet de Meziriac, 
 Fermat, Euler, and La Grange, but evidently known long previously 
 to Oriental mathematicians. Sold for 40 francs in 1857. See Brunet 
 (edition of 1860.)

 1035 Billy (Jacobi de) Nova Geometriso Clavis Algebra, numerous diagrams, 
 
 autograph of Isaac Dalby, the mathematician 4<to. Parisiis, 1643 
 
 A scarce work, unnoticed by Montucla and Chasles, containing much inquiry 
 respecting the theory of nimibers. As is well known we are indebted to 
 Billy for a large portion of the nmnerical inventions of Fermat, who com- 
 municated them by letter to him. This volume sold for 29 francs in 1857.

 calf, "recherche et rare, vendu 4:9 francs en 1857 " (Brunet, edition 
 0/1860) 8vo. Lugduni, 1670 
 
 This mathematician, pronounced by M. Chasles " g^ometre d'un grand merite," 
 was highly esteemed by Fermat and Bachet de Meziriac. All his wi-itings are 
 rare. This work contains many of the discoveries on the theory of num- 
 bers made by Fermat, who was in frequent communication with Billy. It 
 is a curious fact that Father Billy, without any mention of the name of 
 Fermat, gives here, as his own, the resolutions of some equations, which, 
 in the Diopliantus puljlished with Fermat's annotations m the same year, 
 he (Billy) acknowledges to have found m the letters of Fermat to himself.

 J. V. Pinelli seems to have been not only a celebrated book-collector, but 
 also a reader, especially of mathematical works, and a friend of Galileo. 
 The tirst great Pinelli library (totally different from the celebrated col- 
 lection described by the Abate Morelli and sold in London towards the 
 end of the last century) was singularly rich m precious manuscripts, and 
 its remains were bought by Cardinal Borromeo to be the ornament of the 
 great Ambrosian library at Milan. A portion of tliis ancient Pinelli 
 library was seized by pirates and thrown into the sea.

 Thermoscopia are exhibited, one of which Blancanus ascribes to Santorio. A 
 very curious fact is that this author (a Jesuit), in a work published after the 
 condemnation of Galileo, explains the system of Philolaus and Copernicus 
 (see Index and p. 33) -without any abuse against Copernicus or Galileo.

 Original and scarce edition of an interesting book, replete with curious informa- 
 tion. At the begmning of the first part there is the first printed mention of 
 the microscope invented by Cxahleo. BoccaHni speaks also of telescopes, 
 &c. For the history of the disputed account of the invention of the micro- 
 scope tliis edition is a book oi'great importance. In vol. II, RagguagUo 90 
 is devoted to Columbus and other discoverers of the New World.

 3 vol. in 1, vellum Svo. Milano, 1615 
 
 A celebrated satirical work, which seems to liave given great offence to his 
 contemporaries. The 40tli Ragguaglio of Centuria prima is relative to the 
 Admirable Crichton, and the 90th of Centuria seconda is respecting

 vellum Uo. Venet. 1617-18 
 
 In this celebrated work Boccalini treated poUtical and literary subjects with 
 so much freedom that he brought down upon his owa head much enmity. In 
 Century II, Rag. 3, he relates that Euclid, the mathematician, ha\ang by 
 a geometrical figure divulged the important secret, " that all the lines of 
 thoughts and actions in Princes tended to one common centre, namely, to 
 draw the money of their subjects into theu* own pockets," was beaten to 
 death with sand-bags. Singularly enough, such is said to have been the 
 fate of Boccahni himself for having exposed the designs of the Spaniards 
 upon Naples.

 tanza di tutte le Sfere ridotte a nostre Miglia con alcune chiare 
 Annotationi di L. Groto Cieco di Hadria, woodcut portraits of 
 Bonardo and Groto, vellum ^vo. Venetia, 1584 
 
 A scarce and very curious work unknown to Lalande. L. Groto, a blind 
 man, generally* known for his dramatic and otlier literary productions, 
 shows here in his annotations to Bonardo a truly scientiiic character. He 
 speaks of Colombo and his discoveries, he considers the etoiles filantes as 
 small comets, he says that the earth is suspended by magnetic force in space 
 ■without any support, like the coffin of Mohammed, etc.

 This edition, probaldy the first, differs from that described by Gamba, as it 
 has eight introductory unpaged leaves instead of four, and 179 paged 
 instead of 172. (8)

 many curious woodcuts 
 large copiy with rough edges, original stamped iinding, toith clasps 
 
 4<to. Aug. Vind. Erhardus Ratdolt, m.cccc.lxxxxi. 
 
 "Edition belle & rare" (Weiss). On the fly leaf is the following autograph 
 inscription — " Possessor hujus est Johannes Ryder m Artibus inceptor," 
 and on the first page is another as follows — ".Joan. Dotpms Exon. Col- 
 legii socius me possidet ex Dono Charissimi Avunculi Magistri Joannis 
 Rideri Artiura magistri 1528." 
 
 The four fly-leaves are extremely interesting, as they contain six copies of an 
 imknown Letter of Indulgence, gi'anted by Pope Alexander Vlth, in favour 
 of subscribers for the rebuilding of the Hospital of St. James of Compos- 
 tella and its two chapels, having a woodcut of the seal. This Letter of 
 indulgence is dated "Anno Dommi M.CCCCLXXXXVIII," and was 
 undoubtedly printed in London by Wynkyn de Woede, to enable the 
 treasurer, Alfunso de Losa, to fleece such of the credulous English as 
 would be glad, for the trifling sum of the 20th part of a ducat, to entitle a 
 defunct relative, male or female, to a participation in all the spu'itual 
 exercises performed in the said hospital or Chapels for the repose of the 
 dead.

 him for his Elegies; that to Serafino, requesting the return of his Quintilian ; 
 those to Sixtus IV on the restraining the petulance of monks ; the jocose 
 one to Cambio, General of his Order ; those to Lorenzo de Medici ; and 
 many others, are not only pleasing in style but valuable for the insight they 
 give us into the manners and customs of the times. This scarce work is 
 not mentioned by Brunet (edition of 1860.)

 Germany an almost innumerable number of men of their lives, honour, or

 A book of great rarity and curiosity, universally kno^\^l as the Fables of 
 Pilpay, a collection of tales written originally in Sanscrit by Vishnu-Sarma 
 under the title of' " Pantcha-Tantra." No collection of tales enjoys a 
 higher reputation in the East, translations having been made into almost 
 every one of its dialects, whilst in Europe its repiitation has been equally 
 great, and the innumerable versions into almost every language bear wit- 
 ness to its popularity. This Latin version was made from tlie Hebrew by 
 John of Capua (a baptised Jew), who tells us : " Hie est liber parabolarum 
 antiquorum sapientum Nationum Mundi, et vocatur liber kelile et dimme 
 et primus quidem in lingua fuerat indorum translatus. Inde in linguam 
 translatus persarum. Postea vero reduxerunt ilium arabes in linguam suam 
 ultimo ex inde ad linguam fuit redactus hebraicam. Nunc autem nostri 
 propositi est ipsum in linguam fundare latinam. Est autem liber delec- 
 tabilis, &c." This version from the Hebrew is the parent of nearly all the 
 translations into the languages of Europe. Sir \Ym. Jones was one of the 
 iirst to point out the name of the real author, and thus expressed his 
 admiration of his work : " The Fables of Vishnu-Sarman, whom we ridicu- 
 lously call Pilpay, are the most beautiful, if not the most ancient in the 
 world." The rarity of this edition is undeniable, and in proof we need 
 only add that the White Knight's copy sold for £21 19s. and Sir Mark 
 Sykes's for £31 10s. This is the edition described by Brunet (see Bidpai) 
 as having in the running title " Capitulum Secundum," &c,

 With the autograph and manuscript notes of Calvin's friend, Nicolas 
 CoLLAnoN, one of the Genevan Pastors of the time and author of several 
 works, whose name will be found amongst those ministers (see printed list 
 on last leaf) wlio approved of the damnable doctrine inculcated in this 
 apology for a cold-blooded murder, which must ever be a lasting and gross 
 stain upon the Reformer's reputation. This CoUadon succeeded Calvin as 
 Professor of Theology, and had well nigh experienced the right of coercing 
 heretics by the sword in his own person ; for, having had the hardihood in 
 his sermons to censure the Sovereign Council of Geneva, he was deposed 
 and sent to the Consistory to be censured. To save his life he recanted, 
 but thought it better to retire to Lausanne, where he died as Professor of 
 the Belles Lettres.

 ars magna sine de regulis Algebraicis — Item de Arithmetica et de 
 
 Aliza liegula (Algebraical logistical) 
 
 SCARCE folio. Basilece, 1570 
 
 A work celebrated in the history of mathematics. In the Ars magna (dated 
 1545) Cardanus quotes Leonardus Pisanus, Luca Pacioli, and says that 
 the resolution of cubic equations, a discovery by Scipio Ferro of Bologna, 
 having been again lost by his death, was rediscovered by Tartalia, when 
 disputing with Fiore, and discussed between him "multis precibus exora- 
 turn," and Cardan himself, who, with the help of Ferrari, was led to the 
 demonstration of it.

 Amongst the nativities and biographies are those of Petrarch, Philelphus, 
 Charles V, Francis I, Luther, Erasmus, Cardanus, Codes, Due de Bourbon, 
 Henry VIII, Leo X, Savonarola, Joannes de Monteregio (Regiomoutanus), 
 Albert Durer, &c. For an account of these "very curious" horoscopes, 
 see Morley's Life of Cardan, vol. II. p. 279.

 A very curious work, containing horoscopes and interesting biographies of 
 100 eminent men, including Albert Durer, Jerome Savonarola, Leo X, 
 Henry VIII, Erasmus, Luther, &c. Amongst those of mathematicians will 
 be found nativities and biographies of Gab. de Aratoribus, J. Monteregius, 
 L. Ferrari, G. Purbach, C. Agrippa, Fatius Cardanus, and of the author 
 himself. This edition is much enlarged from the previous one. It is in 
 this work that is to be found the mention of the terrible executions made 
 during the reign of Henry VIII. 
 
 1478 Cardani (II.) in CI. Ptolema-i Quadripartitam Constructiouem Com-,

 BARE, j^rs^ edition, half vellum folio. Basilece, 1554 
 
 Dedicated to John Hamilton, Archbishop of St. Andrews (hung at Sterling 
 in 1571) for wliom he appears to have drawn his horoscope, as it is given 
 among the "Geniturarum Exempla," where also will be found that of 
 Edward VI, and that of Sir John Chcke. Bishop liurnet records under 
 the year 1552, in his History of the Reformation, that Cardan told Arch- 
 bishop Hamilton that, although lie had cured his disease (the dropsy), his 
 fate would be the gallows. In his horoscope, liowever, there is nothing to 
 indicate such an end to the Archbishop, unless Passio Cordis can be 
 twisted into " Sufl'ering by the Cord." See Morley's Life of Cardan, 
 vol. II, pp. 129-30, and also vol. II, p. 90, where Mr. Morley, speaking of 
 these Commentaries erroneously, says, " They were lirst printed (by a 
 French printer), with the addition of twelve illustrative Horoscopes, in 
 1555." This copy has valuable MS. notes.

 This is probably one of the rarest books iu existence. It was written by an 
 author, who, suspected of being strongly tinged with Calvinistic tenets, 
 was therefore condemned by the Patriarch of Constantinople, by whom, at 
 the same time, most of his wi'itings were rigidly suppressed. The binding 
 is a line specimen of Jassy workmanship at the period.

 This Casati, a Jesuit, is celebrated for having prevailed on Queen Christina 
 of Sweden to turn Eoman-Catholic. His work, in which several methods 
 are explained in order to ascertain the true dimensions and weight of the 
 whole earth, is full of curious experiments. For instance, from experiment 
 the weight of the water, which was previously supposed to be 400 times 
 that of the air, is here stated by Casati to be 1200 times. As a curious 
 fact may be noted that the work is under the form of a dialogue between 
 Galileo, Guldin, and Mersenne, the whole of them bemg much praised by 
 Casati.

 1534i Castilionis Terrce Communitatis Statuta, 5 vol. in 1, ivith various 
 additional Statutes in MS. at end 
 "UNCUT, but a few leaves mended folio. Perusice, 1535 
 
 These interesting Statutes, which were edited by Laurentius Fonsus, 
 Doctor of Laws and Poet Laureate, do not appear to have been reprinted, 
 although described by Moreni as " rarissirai." On each of the five titles 
 is a large woodcut of St. Michael and the Dragon. The list of Reliques 
 legislated for embrace, a Piece of the true Cross of Clu-ist, one of the 
 Tliorns from his Crown, the Rod witli which he was beaten, a bit of the 
 Sponge offered to him Avhen crucified, a portion of the Marriage Table at 
 Cana, a portion of the Milk and Bed of the Blessed Virgin, bones and gar- 
 ments of Saints, &c. &c. By these " Statuti " it appears that bail was to 
 be taken, no matter what the crimes, most of which might be compounded 
 by paying a fine ; that ten years gave a legal title ; that barbers were allowed 
 to go out by night with lanterns to shave their customers; that no prosti- 
 tutes were to reside witliin the town ; that the women were subject to 
 sumptuary laws, &c. &c.

 scarce. 
 
 1538 Cataldi (P. A.) Trattato del Modo brevissimo di trovare la Radice 
 
 quadra delli Numeri, &c. portrait of Count L. Mariscotti

 " The rule for the Square Root," says Professor De ^lorgan, " is exhibited in 
 the modern Form and Cataldi shows himseU'a most intrepid calculator. But 
 the greatest novelty of the book is the introduction of contLuued fractions, 
 then, it seems, for the first time presented to the world, &c." In his work, 
 Cataldi has employed also " Serie infinite coi loro limiti." In this same volume 
 are bound up four other works by Cataldi, all of which are scarce, viz. — I. 
 Trattato della Quadratura del Qqi-c\\iq, Bologna, 1612; II. Trattato dell' 
 Algebra Proportionale, ivi, 1610; III. Kegola della Quantita o Cosa di 
 Cosa, ivi, 1618; IV. Elementi delle Quantita Algebratiche, ivi, 1620. As 
 is well known, the invention of continued fractions has always been 
 ascribed to Lord Brouncker, the fii'st president of the Royal Society, 
 although they were knowTi not only in 1631 by Albei't Girard, as has been 
 recently ascertained by a celebrated geometrician (Baron Plana), but also 
 almost twenty years previously by the Italian mathematician Cataldi. The 
 algebraical works of the same Author, contained in this volume, contain 
 the solution of many cm-ious indeterminate problems. 
 
 1539 Cataldi (P. A.) Algebra discorsiva numerale, et lineale. Regola della 
 
 Quantita, 2 vol. (4 parts) in 1 folio. Bologna, 1618 
 
 In the first work, which is a treatise on Algebra, the Author explains equa- 
 tions of the second and third degrees, and also some derivative equations. 
 The signs used by Cataldi are curious, for he expresses the figures 
 1, 2, 3, 4, (fee. of the "puissances" by their exponents, but crossed tlu-ough 
 (barre). The second treatise gives solutions of numerous Problemi 
 indeterminati, and the determination (by approximation) of the value of the 
 sides of equilateral Heptagons, Octagons, and Nonagons. In this scarce 
 work, Cataldi has, before Descartes, constructed generally the equation of 
 the second order. 
 
 1540 Cataldi (P. A.) Nuova Algebra Proportionale folio. Bologna, 1619 
 
 In this work Cataldi finds the Cube Root of many Binomials, which his 
 predecessors had stated could not be foimd, and illustrates the works of 
 Vieta.

 Although Professor De Morgan mentions Cataneo in the Index to his List of 
 Arithmetical Books, he evidently never came across a coj^y of this inte- 
 resting work, as he does not detail its title-page. It commences A^dth " Delle 
 Parti della Arithmetica et della Diffinitione del Numero," and proceeds 
 through the principal rules. This copy has the autograph signature of 
 Andrea Issautieri and his MS. corrections. The work is valuable, and it 
 contains some algebraic matter and a problem (tre niariti gelosi con le lor 
 mogli per passare un fiume, etc.) which is the original of the celebrated 
 problem of the Fox, Goose, and the Barley. Leonardo Pisano is quoted at 
 the very beginning by the author of this Abbaco, who designates as Indian 
 the nmiierical figures commonly termed Arabic.

 an Itahan translation word by word, as follows : " Dum ego Cato, concio sia

 " Edition inconnue mais qui doit etre de la fin du quinzieme Siecle," says M. 
 Brunet, who has been misled by the Boutourlin Catalogue, for, as the work 
 is dedicated " ad Peti'um Sodei'inium urbis Florentinse perpetuum Vexilli- 
 ferum," and as Soderini held that high office from 1502 to 1612, this book 
 must have been printed at the beginning of the XVIth Century. The 
 printer's device (a tower ^vith lUy-headed wands saltier-wise, having his 
 initials A. I.) is on the last leaf.

 Great Britain (wife of James I), by the celebrated eugineer S. de Caus, 
 wlio had formerly instructed her son Henry Prince of Wales, in mechanics. 
 This dedication "is dated Heidelberg, 15 Sept. 1614, and Fetis justly ob-

 This was the first work published by tliis eminent mathematician, a disciple 
 of Galileo. In this volume Cavalieri, to the gi"eat annoyance of Galileo, 
 published for the first time the discoveries of that great philosopher on the 
 fall of bodies. Cavalieri suggests in this work the construction of a sort 
 of telescope by reflection. In the XXXIst chapter of this work he explains 
 the reflexion of cold radiations, and speaks of the reflexion of smell.

 This is the genuine first edition of this curious and amusing Auto-Biography, 
 and is dedicated to the Earl of Burlington. Copies on large paper are of 
 considerable rarity. A miserable counterfeit by Bartolini at Florence, in 
 1792, is easily distinguished from this the original by having the sixth line 
 of title-page ending with toccano, mstead of ajjparte, which is can-ied over 
 to the seventh.

 This work which owing to its connection with the history of oil painting, 
 has often been quoted as in manuscript, is here published for the first 
 time. It was written by Cennini in the year 1437, whilst confined in gaol 
 (nelle Stinche di Firenze), and amongst numberless curious things which 
 may be gathered from it, Ave find (p. 161) described as a fact that at that 
 day real artists were called in (like as at present barbers or coiffeurs) and 
 employed to jJamt the faces of young ladies when going to parties.

 This is the author's grand work on the proportion of the diameter of the 
 circle to its circumference, a labour of calcidation he seems to have piu-- 
 sued with great patience, as he pushed his discoveries to thirty-five 
 decimals, of which he was so proud that it is engraved on his tombstone. 
 Appended to this work is his " Interest-Rekeninghe," with Interest Tables. 
 Although Professor De Morgan inserts Ceuien's name in his Index of 
 AVriters on Arithmetic, he gives no title of his book or date, a clear 
 evidence of the great rarity of this volume.

 Tliis is the second edition of Van Ceuien's works (on Algebra and Geometry) 
 and contains the treatise " de Circulo," &c. which was not in the first. 
 The importance of the labours of this eminent mathematician, the calcfilator 
 of the value of circumference to such an amazing approximation as to 
 reduce it to thirty-five decunals, may be seen in Chasles. Tliis discovery 
 was engraved on his tombstone, in the chm-ch of St. Peter at Leyden, and 
 is intended to be represented beneath liis portrait on the title, although 
 twenty decimal figra-es, instead of thirty-five, only appear.

 1816 CoLrcci (G.) delle Antichita Picexe, 31 vol. 30 vol. hoards and 
 
 the last half hound small folio. i^<?r;«o, 1786-9G 
 
 This large and important work, which forms an indispensable supplement 
 to Muratori's collection, contains an immense nnmber of local chronicles, 
 ancient diplomata, inscriptions, biographies, etc. etc. illusti-ating the 
 ancient and modern political, ecclesiastical, scientific and litei-ary history 
 of that portion of the Papal States which is situated on the coasts of tlie 
 Adriatic. The work is very scarce and almost unkno^^^l, in consequence 
 of the lunited number of copies which were printed, at his own expense, 
 by the author (a pi'ivate gentleman and a canon), at a private press, erected 
 by himself for the special purpose of illustrating the glories and history 
 of his native land. The volumes, published at difterent times and con- 
 sisting of several parts (with different paginations) may be divided into 60 
 or 80 volumes as well as into 31, and the difficulty of finding the work 
 complete so as to give a particular account of the contents, or even of 
 collating it, was probably one of the principal reasons why, by all biblio- 
 graphers (even by Brunet himself, who probably never was able to see it) 
 this immense collection has been barely noticed, and erroneout^ly described, 
 without entering into any particulars. Tliis is in every respect a good 
 copy, in which the plates are Ijound together in two parts, and is pre- 
 sumed to be quite perfect, but owing to the difficulty of ascertaining the 
 fact, it will be sold not subject to collation.

 Neither of these scarce works was known to Lalande, who does not even 
 mention the name of the author of tlie last work in the volume.

 des Cometes, 2 vol. plates, calf 4tto. Paris, 1783-4 
 
 Either M. Lalande never saw this capital work or he has wilfully ignored its 
 existence, for even in his biography of Pingre he takes no notice of it.

 Lalande probably never saw a copy of this Avork, as he has neglected to 
 register its size. 
 
 1841 Comets. Thurecehsis {sic pro Thuricensis) Phisici Tractatus de Cometis, 
 
 exteemely eaee, fine copy ; from tlie Kloss Collection 
 
 4to. Anno Domini, MCCCCLXXiiir, Mans Aurl 
 As the work of Arzel on Comets, wliich solely on the authority of Beughera 
 was quoted by Lalande as being printed in 1472, is omitted by Hain, 
 in all probability, therefore, such an edition is suppositious ; and as the 
 date of 1472, which is at the end of a medical work on Comets by 
 Angelus Cato, is supposed to have been the date of the composition of 
 the work and not that of its publication, the present Treatise of Thurecehsis 
 
 . may be considered as the first ivorh ever i^rlnted on Comets. In the Kloss 
 Catalogue an edition of Thurecehsis of Beron;i3 (Miinster in Ergau) 1473, 
 is mentioned, but that was evidently a mistake, as, according to Hain, 
 the said Berona edition is printed without place, date, or name of printer, 
 although most probably from the press of Helyas de Louffen, a Canon 
 of Miinster in Ergau. This, therefore, may be regarded as the first 
 volume on Comets, with a positive date, ever printed.

 This satirical and ludicrous production places in the mouths of the then living

 suppressed.

 This was probably tlie copy presented to Pope Jidius II himself. In the 
 present version, the edict is more prolix than in any other of the transla- 
 tions of this fraudulent document, as it contains the professed Confession 
 of Faith of the Emperor prefixed, Tvhich the other translators must have 
 purposely omitted, thinking probably the cheat would be too apparent.

 enlarged and contabis in addition descriptions and figures of ancient 
 astronomical instruments.

 In this valuable work will be foimd the capital remark, which has gene- 
 rally been attributed to Tycho Brahe, concerning the diminution of the 
 obliquity of the ecliptic deduced from a comparison of the Observations of 
 the Ancients with those of more recent astronomers. For an account of 
 Danti and his wi'itings, which are all of considerable rarity, the curious may 
 consult M. Libri's Histoire des Sciences Mathe'matiques en Itahe, Vol. IV,

 inferior copy sold for 45 francs at the Salle Silvestre in Paris, in July

 This Catalogue of the books sold by the Duke de la Valliere himself, in his

 Original edition and of extraordinary rarity, the copies having been printed 
 for private distribution only. The Sebright copy sold for £21. It would 
 almost fill a volume to give an exact idea of the varied contents of these 
 three volumes, equally important to the astronomer (although unhnowTi to 
 Lalande) the navigator, the geogi'apher, the student in natural philosophy, 
 and the linguist. A fact not generally known is that this work (as well 
 in this as in the subsequent edition) contains many vocabularies of various 
 American languages, some of them from the original notes taken by the 
 author himself whilst (as he states in liis work) he was travelling in America.

 This excessively rare woi^k is remarkable for its many valuable projects for 
 the improvement of navigation and ship-building. Amongst the " Portulani" 
 are those of Abraham Kendal and John Diez for the Coasts of America 
 and the West Indies. The author was the son of the fiimous Sir Robert 
 Dudley, Earl of Leicester, by the Lady Douglas Sheffield, whom he had 
 secretly married and afterwards compelled to silence respecting the cere- 
 mony, even forcing her to espouse Sir Edward Stafford, when he hunself 
 was desirous of uniting himself to the Countess of Essex. On several 
 occasions, however, the Earl of Leicester acknowledged his son as legiti- 
 mate, and left him the bulk of his'property, which he enjoyed in spite of the 
 opposition of the Dowager Countess of Leicester. Having been defeated 
 by that lady in his attempt to obtain his father's titles, he in disgust quitted 
 England. In 1G20, when created by the Pope a Duke of the Roman 
 Empire, he assumed tlie title of Duke of Northimiljerland and Earl of 
 Warwick, residing at Florence, where he was made Graiul Chamberlain to

 naval architecture and gimnery. The fruits of his studies were commu- 
 nicated to the public in this now excessively rare work. This copy 
 belonged to the famous Sir Joptn Narbrough, so remarkable for his 
 " Voyages and Discoveries to the South and North, &c." His autograph, 
 " John Narbrough his booke 1680," is on the back of the first titlepage, 
 and is repeated at the bottom of page 1.

 A very important collection, and scarce in England. It contains the lectures, 
 given immediately after the ending of Terrorism in France, on mathematics 
 (includmg aritlmietic) by Lagrange and Laplace ; on natural history by 
 Daubenton ; and on other branches of learning by Monge, Haiiy, Berthollet, 
 Sicard, etc. The amalgamation of high science with the republican language 
 of men who a few years afterwards became the most obsequious flatterers 
 of emperors, kings, and even subjects, is exceedingly curious ; for instance, 
 Daubenton, speaking in his second lecture of the Lion, which had been 
 called " Le roi des animaux," energetically says, " II n' y a point de rois 
 dans la nature," and the whole assembly bursts into cries of admiration and 
 " attendrissement." The Debats, m Avhich periodically pupils (Aleves like 
 Fourier, Lacroix, and others) asked for explanations from the professors, are 
 exceedingly interesting.

 This is a reprint of one of the most popular German works of the 
 XVth Century, the production of ]Sicholas Pfaldorf of Ingoldstadt, whose 
 connection ^vith it was accidentally discovered only in 1859, when the 
 original Manuscript was sold in the collection of M. Libri. It is a strange 
 production, full of the most extraordinary tales of Human Inhabitants of 
 the Globe, with Heads of Dogs or other Animals, Hermaphrodites, Cyclops, 
 Nations who never eat, Races of People born without Noses, Eyes, Ears, 
 or some other part of the Body, Giants, Pigmies, Centaurs, &c. &c. The 
 author praises the English as a pious and handsome race, but although 
 good marksmen, tmiorous, having beautiful women. The Scotch he describes 
 as irascible, revengeful, superstitious, worthless, and self-conceited, but 
 ^yrohably able to bear hunger. Ireland is described as a Paradise with a 
 barbarous, rude, and cruel race for Inhabitants. The Bauren Compassz is 
 a method to know the hour of the day by hoklmg up the left hand to the 
 sun, and is illustrated with woodcuts. This very rare and cm*ious work 
 was unknown to Lalande.

 A very interesting and scarce work. Father Eschinardi, a Jesuit, was a true

 the Suez canal is discussed, and in which we find early curious thermome- 
 trical experiments, as well as interesting remarks on the condensation of 
 the fluido planetario, on the use of the magnetic needle for foretelling by its 
 sudden alterations earthquakes, &c. &c. Eschinardi, as early as 1G70, 
 suggested plunging thermometers in ice to render them comparahili. See

 This is perhaps the scarcest of all the editions of Euclid as is but too well 
 known to mathematicians, who covet its possession. The version attri- 
 buted to Campanus, but now known to have been made by Adelaed of 
 Bath, appears here to great advantage, owing to the important emenda- 
 tions and explanations of the celebrated Luca Pacioli di Biu'go, the author 
 of the " Somnia de Arithmctica," &c. Pacioli was the intimate friend of 
 Leonardo da Vinci, at whose instigation he appears to have published this 
 work as is apparent from the dedicatory letter of the editor himself to 
 Francesco Sodcrini, Cardinal of Volterra, to whom, as well for his own 
 favour as for the patronage of the great Florentine Family of which the 
 Prelate was a member, he gratefully renders acknowledgment. From 
 another letter, written by Daniel Caietan, Pacioli seems to have been 
 famous as a preacher as well as a mathematician.

 This work is dedicated to the Duke of Urbmo by V. Spacciuoli, the son-in- 
 law of Commandino, then recently deceased. It was translated into Italian 
 from Commandino's Latin Version by that mathematician's pupils under 
 his own superintendence. The Prolegomeni, or historical Introduction, 
 and the Notes, are very important. Commandino applies algebra to 
 geometry -vs-ith useful notations, amongst which we find not only the use 
 of separate letters to express imknown quantities, but also the use of these 
 same letters multiplied by other letters, without any mterposition, as mathe- 
 maticians now use them.

 A most useful monography of the early press at Ripoli, worked by the Domi- 
 nican nuns of Florence during the X Vth Centuiy. and from which (curiously 
 enough !) was issued an edition of the Decamerone of Boccaccio. This work 
 affords most interesting information respecting the Florentine illuminators

 Dati was one of the Priori of Florence, who died in 1436, and was the

 This work, designed as a supplement to Muratori's Annali d' Italia seems to 
 have been unknown to Moreni and Coleti. The remarks on Henry VIII, 
 Anna BuUen, and the Pope, one would not have expected in a work 
 written by an Abbate. Int^tead of a History of Florence it ought to have 
 been entitled a general History of Europe, as it details occurrences in all 
 countries, including England.

 One of the scarcest of botanical tracts, and justly termed by Moreni " raris-

 originally produced at Florence by the freaks of Nature, a sort of ajiple in 
 
 appearance, one half of which is a lemon and the other half an orange.

 riBST EDITION, rare, having the four blank leaves at end, lohich are

 The numerous editions of this poem, written Tvith exquisite taste and versifi- 
 cation, attest its merits, and have rendered Fracastoro's name immortal. 
 In spite of its frightful name there is nothing immoral in the composi- 
 tion, Avi-itten to celebrate the discoveries of Mercury and Guiacum as cures, 
 the process of which is described in a very charming fiction. The name 
 of the unfortunate Hero of his second Episode is the amiable Syphilis, from 
 whoni is derived the title of the poem, and of which the celebrity has 
 furnished a name for the complaint itself. Francastoro rejects the vulgar 
 notion of the disease coming to Europe from America, and asserts that it 
 was not unknown to the ancients. The spread of it as a plague he ascribes 
 to the French during their wars in Italv.

 It is well known that to this celebrated author the invention of the telescope

 sion as the cause of all the natural phenomena. Fracastorius was one of

 to explain the planetary system by homocentric movements. Although, 
 owing to the instruments not having been invented to make the necessary 
 observations, his method could not be successful, he may, however, lay 
 claim to having suggested the invention of the telescojje, as he seems 
 to have been the first to lay two pair of spectacles one over the other in 
 order to observe the stars.

 for the History of England. It contains the works of Ivo, Gregory of 
 
 Tours, Paul AVarnelTidus, xlimoinus, Adelmus, Eginart, etc. This copy

 This work was -wTitten by a warm partisan of the Reformers, who dared not 
 prmt his name lest he should become subject to the pains and penalties 
 due to the author of so violent an attack on the House of Guise and the 
 Papacy of Eome. It has been attributed to Louis Regnier Sieur de la 
 Planche, but as the author sneers (see p. 404) at Regnier for being " plus 
 politique que religieux," it is not likely that he would have written thus 
 of himself. The Cahdnist, Jean de Serres, who wrote the Commentarii 
 de Statu Religionis is much more Ukely to have written this book also.

 A very scarce and cui-ious book, containing, besides Grammars of the Latin, 
 Greek and Hebrew Languages, Dialogues in French, Treatises on 
 Rhetoric, Logic, Arithmetic, Music, (very interesting, with musical notes, 
 including the first Ode of Horace, set to music,) Geometry, Architecture, 
 &c. This author is certainly mentioned in the index to his work on 
 " Arithmetical Books " by the learned Professor De Morgan, but he could 
 not have seen the book, as the title is not given under its proper date.

 At the end is the Catechism, in the Grison or Vaudois Dialect, witli French 
 Translation, and the work contains many other writings in the same

 unable to discover a single copy.

 At the beginning of the first volume of these interestuig historical dociiments 
 (757 in number, and including also a specimen of the dialect of Friuli during 
 the XlVth Century) the editor says that they are intimately connected 
 with "11 soggiorno di Dante in Friuli."

 An excessively curious and rare Poem, or rather " Comedietta," in which 
 the Bad Son is supposed to be converted by witnessing the " Rappresen- 
 tatione di Agar" (a mysteiy). It is written in pure Florentine language, 
 and from the circumstance of the woodcut bearing the Medici arms was 
 probably printed at Florence in the early part of the XVIth Century. 
 Neither AUacci nor Brunet mention this rare work, which has apparently 
 escaped the notice of all bibliographers.

 The first book has numerous interesting Manuscript notes on the margin in a 
 cotemporary hand by a ^\Titer who shows himself to be at the same time 
 a clever astronomer and an opponent to Galileo. Very probably these an- 
 notations were wTitten by one of those Jesuit astronomers of the Collegio 
 Romano, who gave so much trouble to the Tuscan philosopher. They

 contain many curious facts and remarks, the first of whicli (coming from an 
 opponent) is remarkable : " Incomincio le osservazioni (delle macchie 
 del Sole) il Galileo di settembre 1610." This in our opinion settles entirely 
 the question respecting the discovery of the spots of the sun.

 title and cuts, fine copy, vellum 4to. Jioma, 1623 
 
 Original edition of a celebrated work. It is well known that this impression 
 having been printed at Rome while the author was in Florence, was 
 disfigured by numerous misprints, which gave great annoyance to Galileo, 
 who, besides the several errata corricje printed successively at the end, has 
 added ia some copies other corrections in his o^vn handwi-iting. The present 
 is one of those exceedingly scarce copies, and contains at the end of the 
 second errata four lines in the autograph of the immortal author.

 Mersenne was the first to render Galilei's fame known in France by this 
 ti-anslation of a work (which only appeared m Italian after the death of its 
 author, Galileo) to which he has annexed important notes. In the Questions, 
 Mersenne treats of the velocity and distance of Shots, the Longitude, the 
 Quadrature of the Cu'cle, the Spots in the Sun, &c. &c. &c. The Question 
 XLV is, " Est il pcrmis d'enseigner dans les Escoles que la Terre est 
 immobile," to which Mersenne has appended the " Sentence contre 
 Galilde, &c." See also " Mersenne " in the present Catalogue.

 The " Nouvelles Peusees," which contain many (then) unpublished discoveries 
 of Galileo, seem undoubtedly to have been written by Mersenne, who in 
 1634 had already published the " IMechaniques de Galilee." The work is 
 very interesting, as it contains curious additions to the "Pensees" of 
 Galileo, and seems to be almost unknown .

 This rare little volume was unknown to Lalande. In it the immobility of 
 the earth is asserted, and there can be little doubt that the work is a 
 forgery. (See Catalogue of M. Libri's Manuscripts, No. 399.)

 TERY RARE, Calf (/Ut Small 4:to. Brcssa per Jacoho Britanico, 1561 
 A most curious and interesting work, first published (at Venice) in 1553, as 
 the author himself tells us at the end of this volume. Mazzuchelli says 
 only that " Bellaso (nobile Bresciano) studio le scienze ma non contemplo 
 che le cose piii maravigliose." As a proof of that assertion at the end of 
 this work on crN-ptogi-aphy we find seven propositions, the explanation or 
 demonstration of which are contamed in seven paragi-aphs printed in cifra, 
 witha notice at the beginning stating that if these cifve are not explained 
 within a year from the time of the publication, he (Bellaso) will readily 
 communicate his secret to any person requesting him to do so. Now 
 
33G THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OF 
 
 amongst those propositions we find the demonstration ^of the impossibility 
 of the quadratura del circolo, and the " Eagione perche lassando cadere da 
 aho a basso due palle, una di ferro e V ahra di legno, cosi presto cada in 
 terra quella di legno come quella di ferro." 
 
 It is wonderful to find in an almost unknown book (which nobody, not 
 even Mazzuchelli, seems to have perused) published first in 1553, and 
 reprinted in the very year in which Galileo was born, one of the most 
 important discoveries of Galileo, that on the fall of bodies, which was 
 only published by him during the XVIIth Century.

 In honour of Ciampoli it should be stated that his constant defence of his 
 master Galilei was the real reason of his exile from Rome by Pope 
 Urban VIII, in whose eyes his attachment to the great philosopher was an 
 unpardonable crime. This work seems to have been unknown to Ginguen^, 
 who wrote Cianipoli's life for the Biographic Universelle.

 These Opuscoli constitute one of the scarcest of the books emanating from 
 
 the School of Galilei, never having been reprinted, although containing 
 
 very important discoveries respecting the influence of colours on the 
 
 radiating power of heat, and curious experiments to determine the different 
 
 action produced by luminous or opaque radiation. Amongst other things 
 
 Castelli explains the reason why the moon appears larger on rising than 
 
 when higher in the horizon.

 In this scarce work appeared for the first time the memorable discoveries of 
 
 Galileo on the fall of bodies which Cavalieri published without having 
 
 previously obtained the authority of Galileo, who was much annoyed by 
 
 such a proceeding. This volume has several manuscript annotations and 
 
 corrections, which undoubtedly are in the handwriting of Cavalieri.

 It seems wonderful that so celebrated a geometrician as Cavalieri should 
 have put faith in astrology, and still more astonishing that any work on 
 the subject could have been licensed and published A\dth a dedication to 
 Cardinal Barberini, as such publications were strictly prohibited by the 
 Church of Rome.

 The author (who was an opponent to Aristotle) says that he was the suc- 
 cessor of Galileo at the university at Padova. This scarce work is replete 
 with curioixs information, and we find in it the mention of a sort of teles- 
 cope (or perspicillum), used, it is said, by Pope Leo X at the beginning of 
 XVIth century, loerspicillum possecUsse cerium est, etc. says Gloriosi (p. 239).

 Weidler attributes the authorship of this discourse to Galileo himself, and it 
 will be found in the second volume of the works of that eminent mathema- 
 tician. The work was replied to by the Jesuit Grassi, under the assumed 
 name of Lotharius Sarsus, an answer which gave rise to the deadly enmity 
 between Galileo and the Jesiuts.

 Guiducci's work by Weidler is attributed to Galilei himself. The Libra, by 
 
 Father Sarsi (Grassi), and the Disjmtatio, were the causes of the great 
 
 struggle between Galileo and the Jesuits. They are both very rare.

 A most able restitution of the lost Fifth Book of the Conic Sections of 
 Apollouius Pergseus, made previously to the discovery by Borelli of its 
 existence in an Arabic Version. When the Latin Version of that discovery 
 was pubhshed, and Geometricians Were able to compare the two works, 
 Viviani's reputation became immense, as it was rendered clear that not only 
 had he divined what Apollonius wrote, but had gone much deeper into 
 the subject. This is the rarest of Viviani's works, and is justly described 
 by Weiss as " tees-rare."

 The author was the brother of the famous Dr. Thomas White, and he was 
 himself a celebrated mathematician. In the preface White says, that being 
 as a Catholic precluded in England from attending a public school, he went 
 to Florence, where Galileo was then adorned with immense glory, and that 
 lie became a pupil of Castelli. From the above statement and eulogium, 
 printed at Rome a few years only after Galileo's condemnation, we gather 
 that there was perhaps at that moment even less religious tolerance in 
 England than at Rome.

 including a long description in Greek Verse by Giorgio Coresio of Scio,

 The Letter against the Motion of the Earth appears to have been written 
 " m lecto a?gro corpore, fracto crure," which may account for the weakness 
 of the arguments.

 This rare work contains many observations concerning Saturn and the other 
 planets. In a tractatus de Microscopio the author ascribes to himself the 
 invention of that instrument, and states that he constructed a telescope in 
 Italy before Galileo !

 Thuanus's copy in old calf, with his large arms and monogram stamped in 
 gold on sides and back. The author of this curious work was an opponent 
 not only of Galileo but also of De Dominis and Maurolycus. In order to 
 measure the velocity of sound produced by thunder, he calculates the 
 distance, &c. by the number of the pulsations of the heart.

 The author of this treatise was Hoi'ace Grassi, a Jesuit. Weidler, in his 
 History, speaks only of the work, without giving tlie true title ; it was 
 against this, that Galileo wrote his famous Saggiatore, printed in 1623.

 This was intended as an answer to that chef (T auvre of eloquence and criticism 
 il Saggiatore of Galilei, whom the author never forgave for turning him 
 into ridicule. Grassi is said to have been the principal instigator of the 
 Inquisition, in the cruel persecution of his adversaiy.

 Bononiensi, lucem in se conceptam ab ambiente claro mox in 
 
 tenebris mire conservante Liber, vellum 4:to. Utini 1640 
 
 Liceti was so disinchned to admit the new discoveries in Astronomy made by 
 
 Galileo, that in order not to adopt the explanation of what is called in 
 
 French La Iwmitre cendree de la lune, he was driven to presume that the moon 
 
 is an immense Bologna stone. Galileo wote agamst Liceti on this point.

 Eeformatae Libri XII, acts, half bound folio. Bononice, 1661 
 
 A work full of the most learned researches, and wonderful for its Table of 
 Latitudes and Longitudes, in which many corrections forestalled those 
 discoveries attributed to Dellsle by forty years. In many instances the 
 author points out the source of his information, as in his chapter " de 
 America Partibus et Authoribus de ilia lectu dignis."

 The volume contains at the beginnmg, the signature of " J. Ph. Tomasini," 
 author of " Petrarcha redivivus," and on the margins several critical 
 manuscript amiotations which undoubtedly seem to be in the " handwriting 
 of Galileo,'''' and certainly in his habitual sarcastic form. See, for 
 instance, at p. 19, his manuscript annotation " Cogl . . . na opinione." 
 The work was unknown to Nelli.

 numerous plates, rare, vellum folio. Bracciani, 1626-30 
 
 The author adopted this strange title of Eosa Ursina because he dedicated 
 his work to Prince Orsini, In it the author discourses learnedly on the 
 spots in the sun, of wliich he esteemed himself the discoverer, although 
 observed much earlier by Galileo. No doubt however to Scheiner we 
 are indebted for the fullest theory of their movements, and an analysis of 
 this scarce work will be found in Montucla " Histoire des Mathematiques," 
 vol. II, p. 313.

 A very scarce work, written against Galileo and the discoveries related by 
 him in his " Nuncius Sydereus." This volume belonged to the celebrated 
 Academy of Lyncei, and has the stamp of Prince Federigo Cesi, both on 
 the title and page 71.

 After the discovery by Galileo of the satellites of Jupiter, which he called 
 " Aatri IMedicei" several sovereigns (and particularly those of 
 
THE LIBEI LIBRAKY. 357 
 
 Frauce) requested hiin to find other new stars to be dedicated to them- 
 selves by givhig them respectively their uaine. In order to comply with 
 this request Jean Tarde, canon of Sarlat, took advantage of the " Spots of 
 the Sun," already discovered by Galileo, and, ti'ansforming them into new 
 planets, he dedicated them, under the name of " Astres de Borbon," to 
 the Royal family of France. 
 
 3235 Galileo's Opponents. Zuccliii (N.) Nova de Macliinis Pbilosophia, 
 
 tvoodcut diagrams 4ito. Eomce, 1649 
 
 An interesting and scarce work, in which the author considers magnetical 
 attraction as connecting " terram cum extreme coelo." Casati, who was an 
 opponent to Galileo, states that this work was much ajiproved by Torri- 
 celli, which is however doubtful, as Zucchi maintains the " positiva levitas," 
 and is also an opponent to the motion of the earth, and to the vacuum in the 
 barometer.

 This most extraordinary scientific dreaming was privately prmted only for 
 the friends of the Princess, and is verj- scarce. The most curious feature 
 in regard to the work is, that, in answer to the application of the noble 
 authoress for its investigation, instead of being j^erhaps sent to a Russian 
 Bedlam she actually obtained an order of Government for two Generals and 
 a first-rate Geometrician (M. Ostrogi-adsky) to discuss the subject with 
 her. The Report of this Discussion fills the first part.

 Quoted on the authority of Weidler, but never seen by Lalande. At the end 
 is inserted the " Canon Sexagenarius " and the extremely rare eight pages 
 in quarto entitled " de Harum Paginarum Usu," which almost generally 
 are deficient, probably owing to their having fallen out and thus been lost, 
 a natural consequence of the author's directions to the binder, " Hsec pars

 f,ne copy in the original oak binding, covered with stamped pigsTcin,

 Geyler was one of the most famous preachers of his time, and the bitter 
 opponent of the Dominicans of Strasburg, who from the pulpit are said to 
 have promulgated the infamous doctrine " Quod monialis professa si carnis 
 tentatione victa castitatem servare nollet minoris culpse esset si cum reli- 
 giose quam cum laico committat flagitium." The expressions used by this 
 celebrated preacher would in many instances wound the delicate ears of 
 the present race, and m others cause roars of laughter.

 of Nature and Art, &c. &c. This first edition, which was prohibited, is 
 uncastrated, and contains the passages ordered to be expunged by the 
 Index. Mersenne, in his work on Genesis, has exposed some of the heretical 
 notions which Georgius derived from his attachment to Platonists and 
 Cabbalists.

 Apology for Potiphar's wife, that her husband " exsectus est propter 
 sacerdotium & Eunuchus est vocatus." In the " Chronica Oldenburgensium 
 Archi-Comitum," the invention of Printing is distinctly ascribed to Mayence 
 by the author John Schiphower, who was born in 1463. This copy 
 formerly belonged to the Grand-Count Solms, (who came to London with 
 William III) and has on titlepage his autograph signature, " Fredericus 
 Magnus Comes Solmensis."

 Fouqiiet's copy, with his ** and arms stamped in gold on back. The work 
 is important for rendering clear the manners and customs of monasteries. 
 An apostate is thus defined — "qui etiam recedit a Societate Jesu, in qua

 uncut 8yo. s. I. & a. {Lucca, 1711) 
 
 The Tartuffe of Moliere imitated to suit the Italian taste. The author and 
 nine of his private friends performed this piece at the Theatre of Siena, he 
 hmiself sustaining the principal character, which he dressed and acted in 
 exact imitation of a notorious hypocrite of the town, his friends personating 
 other well-known parties. The success was wonderful, and in spite of the 
 opposition of those ridiculed and their adherents, the applause was tre- 
 mendous. In the Sorellina the author ridicules hypocrisy in his own 
 abode. 
 
 3385 Grigli (&•) Del Collegio Petroniano delle Balie Latiue, col vero 
 
 Metodo degli Studii per la Grioveutu nel medesimo Collegio stabiliti,

 A most curious and scarce book. Gigli, so well known for his eccentricity 
 and hizzarro umore, describes, in this work, an imaginary college, stated 
 by him to have been established at Siena, in order that nursemaids should 
 teach infants to speak Latin from their earliest childhood. By naming, as 
 patrons of the college, a great number of well-known gentlemen and ladies 
 he so well succeeded in gulling the public that, from several distant towns, 
 young children were actually sent to Siena to be admitted into his fictitious 
 establishment.

 vellum 8vo. in one vol. 
 
 The work of Griglio is very curious, and, amongst other things, contains 
 " Origine del Mai Francese," the Opinions of the New World (America) 
 concerning the Origin of Man and the Deluge, on the Discovery of 
 America, with a statement of the Pilot Andaluzo dying in the house of 
 Columbus, &c. &c.

 bus, et de magno Magnete Tellure, Physiologia nova, tcith tcood- 
 cuts,Jine copy, scarce folio. Lond. P. Short, 1600 
 
 After the address to the reader, is a parenesis by Edward Wright, in which 
 Drake, Candish, Linschoten, Hakluyt, and the Voyage to the Azores are 
 noticed. Dr. Gilbert was Physician to Queen Elizabeth, and so highly 
 esteemed by her that she allowed him an annual pension to pursue his 
 studies. This work is most valuable for the history of Science, and was 
 highly prized both by Galileo and Humboldt. 
 
 3388 Gilberti (G.) de Mundo nostro sublunari Philosopbia nova 
 
 vellum 4:fo. Aynst. L. Elzevir, 1651 
 
 Dr. Gilbert, physician to Queen Elizabeth, was the author of the celebrated 
 work " de Magnete " above described. In the present work he maintains the 
 motion of the earth, and sets forth the ideas of Copernicus and Giordano 
 Bruno on the subject. According to Gilbert the motion of the moon is 
 principally due to the magnetieal action of the earth. The work is in- 
 scribed contra Aristotelem.

 The second Dialogue on Errors of Painters is most interesting, and contains 
 many sensible remarks on " The Last Judgment " of Michael Augelo, 
 &c. Cicognara calls the work " un magazzino d' erudizione."

 calf folio. Paris, 1558 
 
 This work, containing much to interest the English and Norman collector, 
 was edited by Denis Sauvage, and contams his additions, bringing it down 
 to 1557. In some parts it may be considered as a romance of cliivalry, as 
 it contains the fabulous liistory of Charlemagne and his imaginary battles 
 against the Saracens.

 Painting, Mosaics, &c. are highly interesting.

 A very important collection. This is the first Italian periodical on scientific and 
 literary matters ever published, and contams numerous original observations 
 and papers by Cassini, Borelli, Campani,Montanari,Hevelius,Gottignies, etc. 
 etc. not to be found elsewhere. Under the year 1670 we find the im- 
 portant discovery of Father Eschinardi, a Jesuit, who for the true gradu- 
 ation of the thermometer first suggested immersing it into ice. 
 
 3401 GiOENALi. Giornale de Letterati d' Italia, 43 vol. in 45, plates 
 
 vellum 12mo. Venezia, 1710-1740 
 
 A literary journal, edited by Apostolo Zeno and his brother, and therefore 
 justly held in great estimation. It contains many original works by the 
 most celebrated Italian scientific and literary men of the time, and 
 amongst others, the first discoveries made in the year 1717, by Fagnani, 
 on the Lemniscata, discoveries which at that moment attracted very little 
 notice in Italy, but which in consequence of the labours of Lagrange, 
 Euler, Gauss, Abel, Jacobi, etc. etc. have rendered the name of Fagnani 
 most conspicuous, although even now it is too generally supposed 
 that these discoveries (published in the present Giornale as early as 
 1717) appeared only in the Produzioni, which Fagnani published in 
 1750. 
 
 3402 GiORNALi. Giornale de Letterati (di Pisa), 102 volumes in 51, plates

 contributor affixed to each article. It was published under the direction 
 of Monsignor Fabroni the learned autlior of the Vitae Italorum, and con- 
 tains much literary and scientific information respecting Galileo and his 
 school. For instance, in the first volume we find a dissertation of the 
 celebrated astronomer Perelli, showing that " Galileo fosse il primo ad 
 applicare il pendolo all' orologio."

 This -work, -which is weU known to collectors of ornamented bindings for the help 
 it furnishes for detecting (from their devices^ the ovmers of ancient books, 
 is even more interesting for the various historical and scientific facts recorded 
 therein, and not to be found elsewhere. For instance, the mention made 
 by the Emperor Charles V to the poet Alamaimi of the " Aquila Grit'agna 
 — Che per piu divorar due becclii porta." etc. In describing the Device of 
 Astorre Baglioni, Ruscelli mentions a (fossil) elephant found in Tuscany 
 during the XVIth Century. One of the most important scientific facts to 
 be found herein is that contained in the de^nce of Pope Clement VII, 
 Candor iUa-sus. which (after Gio^^o^ is explained by Ruscelli in the fol- 
 lowing very important sentence, respecting the intluence of colour on 
 radiating heat : •' Tal impresa fii inventione di Domenico Buoniusegni 
 Fiorentino, Tesorier del Papa. II qnal Domenico filosofando sopra le cose 
 della Xatura. sapeva, che i raggi del Sole passando per una paUa di Cristallo

 bruciano ogni oggetto, cioe ogni cosa atta ad acceudersi che da poi 
 toccano. fuor che le cose, che son bianchissime." This same work contains 
 other interesting observations, \\z. the varieties of combustion and tlames 
 derived from various bodies, even the burning of gaseous substances 
 &c. «S:c. Amongst the Devices is that of Sir Richard Shelley, Prior of 
 England.

 the libro quarto, speaking of the device of Andrea DeLfino. Vincenzo 
 shows in the plate, as weU as in the written description, the combustion 
 of the Diamond, long before the celebrated Florentine experience of the 
 subject.

 The Divina Comedia of Dante, and the " Dialogo " of GaUleo, are amongst 
 the books forbidden by this Spanish Index, in which, as may be seen at 
 the beginning, the Index of Pope Alexander VII was inserted and reprinted 
 at Madrid, with the date of Rome. It has been several times stated that 
 the Dialogo of Galileo was not forbidden by the Spanish Index, but this 
 volume shows that this is not the case,

 3801 Inquisition. Atto Pubblico di Eede celebrato Bella Citta di Palermo 
 
 a 6 Aprile 1724 dal Tribunale del S. Uffizio di Sicilia, descritto 
 da Antonino Mongitore, ivith curious folding 'plates 
 vellum folio. Palermo, 1724 
 
 A volume of extraordinary rarity. Canon Mongitore seems to revel in 
 delight whilst expatiating on this Auto da Fe, which he appears to view as 
 a solemn duty paid to God, instead of regardmg it as a cruel act of bigotiy 
 and insane wickedness. A monk and a nun were burnt, whilst a crowd of 
 carriages filled with ladies attended to witness this cruel and disgusting 
 sight.

 of the Torture. The testimony of a wife against her husband, or the 
 husband against the wife, is not only admitted, but even in the case of 
 heresy may be extorted.

 This rare edition was imknoAvn to Moreni, who mentions one of 1782. It

 the lubricous Canon Pandolfo Ricasoli, and against the celebrated Poet 
 Crudeli, the last, as late as 1740.

 The author of this rare and important woik was Commissary-General of 
 the Inquisition at Rome, and Confessor to Pope Pius V, who in 1568 
 conferred on him the Bishoprick of Bagnarea. The work contains most 
 abominable details on the various description of tortura ; amongst which 
 one of the most excruciating is that of a goat Ucldng almost to death the 
 feet of a victim covered ivith salt.

 3817 Inquisition. Masini (F. Eliseo) Sacro Arsenale overo Prattica dell' 
 
 Officio della S. Inquisitione ampliata, scarce 4:to. Roma, 1639 
 
 In this and the four following lots W3 have five different editions of the cele- 
 brated Sacro Arsenale, which was the Inquisition oficial code, when Galileo 
 was condemned by that odious tribunal. In this Arsenale we always find 
 Esame rigoroso and tortura used in a s}^lonimous sense, and we therefore 
 have here an official proof of the torture having been inflicted on Galileo. 
 All the impressions of this work are exceedingly scarce, the copies having 
 been destroyed with the utmost care in Italy, and it would perhaps be 
 impossiljle to find in any other public or private collection so many editions 
 of this famous work. See also No. 3049 in the present Catalogue. 
 
 3818 Inquisition. Sacro Arsenale overo Prattica dell' Officio della Santa

 In this description of the various Tortures to be employed by the Inqui- 
 sition (and the work states " Torturare uegotio miportantissimo,") the 
 Torture by Fire (or Tormcnto del Fuoco as it is not inaptly termed) directs 
 the victim to be exposed " nudatis pedibus illisque lardo porcino inunctis 
 et in cippis juxta ignem validum retentis, &c." In this work " Essame 
 rigoroso" always means "torture."

 In this abominable Code of the Inquisition (of which nearly all the copies 
 were suppressed and destroyed) the tortures inflicted on the victim are 
 most minutely described. The rigoroso Esame to which Galileo was 
 submitted was undoubtedly the Tortura, as is clear from this work, in which 
 both are used as synonimous.

 or Executors in case of death, were compelled to return it to the Holy

430 THE MISCELLANEOUS POETION OF 
 
 3912 Jaeet (Nic.) Commune Sanctortjm 
 
 Manuscript on yellum, exquisitely written in imitation of printing 
 hy this celebrated Calligraphist , the most eminent of France, and 
 adorned tvith cajyitals painted in gold and colours. Three beautiful 
 delineations of Saints (St. John the Baptist, St. Augtistin and St. 
 John Chrysostom), executed in body colours in the best style of 
 French art, are inserted in the volume, folio. S-^c. xvii {circa IGIO) 
 
 From the Libraiy of Louis XVtli, splendidly bound in blue morocco, super 
 extra, gilt edges, with broad dentelle borders, by De Rome, having the 
 Royal Arms stamped in gold on sides. It is lettered on back "Le Commun 
 des Saints. Manuscrit de N. Jarry avec Miniatures." It formed subse- 
 quently a prominent gem (lot 71) in the Chardin Collection, sold at Paris 
 in 18n. 
 
 Nicholas Jarry is now acknowledged to have been the most skilful 
 penman France has ever produced, and specimens of his skill are eagerly 
 sought after by collectors and enormous prices paid for them. The date 
 of his death is uncertain, but, as is well known, his chefs-d'oeuvre of pen- 
 manship were executed between 1640 and 1663. Respecting Jarry and 
 his extraordinary skUl, see Brunet, who devotes a long article to this 
 celebrated calligrapher.

 A most important biographical and bibliograpical account of all the works 
 written or printed by Members of the Society of Jesus. The titles of 
 the writings of the English Jesuits, described herein, could with difficulty 
 be derived from other sources. It contains much recondite information 
 respecting the opponents of Gahleo, as well as regarding the missions of 
 the Jesuits in America and the East.

 The chief contributors to this excellent journal, which contains many of the 
 best mathematical papers in the French language, were Lagrange, La 
 Place, Monge, Poisson, Prony, Fourcroy, Vauquelin, Lacroix, Hachette, 
 Legendre, Haiiy, &c. &c. The Yllth and Vlllth Cahiers originally con- 
 tained the first portion of the " M^canique Philosophique," by Prony, but 
 the author never having completed that rather dull work, those cahiers 
 were reprinted, and instead of M. Prony's work, the admirable and almost 
 unknown lectures delivered to the first Ecole Normale by Lagi-ange and 
 La Place, on Arithmetic and other portions of elementary mathematics, 
 were substituted as they are in the present copy. The XlXth part, or 
 cahiei; contains the celebrated " Theorie de la Chaleur," by Poisson. These 
 first nineteen parts form the most important aud rarest portion of the col- 
 lection. The subsequent ones can at any time be readily procured from Paris.

 emphatically has said " It is the duty of every Astronomer to read 
 
 THOROUGHLY THE PhYSICA CceLESTIS FROM BEGINNING TO END AT LEAST

 covered between ]\Iars and Jupiter. So little was the autlior known at th 
 time of its first publication, in 1597, that, instead oi Kejjlerus, the catalogue 
 of the Frankfurt Fair has printed its announcement under RepUrus. The 
 Stereometria is the scarcest of Kepler's works, and, according to M. Chasles, 
 the application of the infini to Geometry first occurs in this publication.

 plates, Pisauri, 1618, vellum folio, in one vol. 
 
 The work of Colle, which is a sort of cyclopaedia of arts and sciences, was 
 unknown to Lalande. The portion respecting vulgar errors is very curious. 
 The Harmonices Mundi (with musical notes), one of the scarcest of Kepler's 
 Avorks, contains his immortal discoveries, both astronomical and geo- 
 metrical, which were neglected for more than half-a-century, as he himself 
 seemed to foresee, when, in the prooemium of the fifth book of this work, he 
 wrote the following memorable sentence : " Librumque scribo, sen prse- 
 sentibus sen posteris legendum, nihil interest, expectet ille suum lectorem 
 per annos centum si Deus ipse per annorum ses millia contemplatorem 
 praestolatus est.

 incorrectly, solely on the authority of the Catalogue of Hevelius. Delam- 
 bre, however, has devoted several pages to it in his Astronomic Moderne.

 This work which was first published ui 1596, was the earliest of Kepler's

 the rising mathematician of his Age. See also lots 3970 and 3982 in the

 This work, which is important for the History of Astronomy, is perhaps the 
 most curious of Kircher's publications. The discussion whether the water, 
 which the author assei'ts to be in the Planet Venus, may be used for 
 Baptism, and some other extraordinary things of a similar nature, have 
 rendered the possession of the book interesting to collectors.

 This verj^ curious work, containing a Dictionarium Pentaglossura and Epis- 
 toliogi-apliia Pentaglossa (Lat. Ital. Gall. Hisp. et Germ.) similar to that 
 recommended by Becher but never executed, is divided into three Essays ; 
 the first being a Pasigraphy, in a system nearly identical with that which 
 Cambry published in 1805, The second is a more ingenious system of 
 Stenography than that of Trithemius. The third presents a stegano- 
 graphic Bureau for reading and writing expeditiously in a cypher that 
 cannot be deciphered except by the proper key 
 
 4007 Kircheri (A.) Mundus subterraneus, 2 vol. in 1, portrait and numerous

 Mount Vesuvius suspended by a rope, and must have seen under the 
 influence of the sulphuric vapour, the giants, dragons, and other fabulous 
 animals he records in this publication.

 This extensive Bibliography (966 pages) is indispensable to astronomers. 
 The learned Professor De Morgan speaking of it says, " A most useful 
 work, almost perfectly complete. The two indexes (authors and subjects 
 b^ M. Cotte) are exceedingly good, so that this is perhaps the most easily 
 used book on bibliography which exists. Lalande was the greatest astro- 
 nomical gossip in Europe, and his portion of history, and the occasional 
 remarks appended to the titles of the books, contain uiformation it might 
 be difficidt to find elsewhere."

 Lamprias was the son of Plutarch. From this scarce and little known volume 
 we find how many works of the celebrated Plutarch have been lost. 
 
 4069 Lana (F.) Prodromo di alcune Inventioni nuove, plates 
 
 scarce, fine copy, vellum folio. Brescia, 1670 
 
 The invention which Father Lana has published in this very curious Prodromo 
 are almost innumerable in every branch of science and art, even in painting. 
 Amongst those most worthy of attention are his method for writing in 
 cypher, for telegi'aphs, for teaching the blind to wi-ite, for the instruction of 
 the deaf and dumb, for balloons or aerial machines, for telescopes, micro- 
 scopes, &c. without taking into account his directions for his universal 
 panacea, for perpetual motions, for the transmutation of metals, for making 
 the philosopher's stone, and for similar vagaries of one of the most learned 
 philosophers of his time.

 This work may be regarded as an attempt to explain various theories 
 advanced in the Prodromo. The third volume, which did not appear until 
 after the author's death, is said by his biographer Eyries to be "tres-rare." 
 It would require an explanatory volume to give an idea of this Avork, which 
 is truly a cyclopedia of all sciences connected with natural philosophy.

 4079 Landi (0.) Paradossi cioe Sententie Puori del comun parere 
 
 calf, large copy small Mo. Lione, Q. Pullon da Trino, 1543 
 
 First edition of tliis licentious work, and extremely rare. The name of the 
 author is not given in the titlepage, but from Mascranico's address to the 
 readers we learn, "L' Autore della jiresente opera il qual fu M. O. L. M. 
 detto per sopra Nome il Tranq." the said initials signifying " Messer 
 Ortensio Landi Milanese," with the addition " detto il Tranquillo," a fact 
 confirmed by the last words of the Paradossi " Suisnetroh Tabedul," 
 which read backwards give " Ludebat Hortensius." The work was trans- 
 lated into French by Ch. Estienne, who, however, had grace enough, says 
 Brunet, to suppress "les passages les plus licencieux et les plus impies." 
 One of the Paradoxes is " Che 1' Opre di Gioan Boccaccio non sieno degne 
 d'esserlette (ispecialmente le dieci giornate)."

 The pretence of this curious work being a translation is a mere fiction. The

 Manuscript on vellum, elegantly illuminated capitals with borders 
 {that to Chirurgia Magna representing the JSare coursed by a 
 Grey- Sound) folio. S.ec. xiv. 
 
 A very fine Manuscript, with occasional commentary on the margins, having 
 the intitulations in red ink. The fom-th book of the Chirurgia Magna 
 treating de Fractura Ossium is entitled " De Algebra." Lanfrancus was 
 the most famous surgeon of his time, and in 1295 resided in Paris when 
 expatriated on account of the feuds of the Guelfs and Ghibelines. 
 Theodoric is supposed to have died in 1298. On the interior of the 
 covers of this volume are pasted a portion (four leaves) of a totally 
 unknown musical work, entitled " Epithalamia in Houorem ornatissimi

 Wesalius, were unknown to Fetis.

 4102 Lauderdale. A Letter sent to D. L. by Vox Populi 
 
 4^0. without place or date (1719) 
 
 A very curious tract, advocating the doctrine of slaying Tyrants, as " all 
 remedy therefore against a Tyrant is Ehud's Dagger," &c. Some of the 
 language is very uncouth. The author tells the duke that he had " set at 
 nought" our English Parliament, calling them " The many headed Beast," 
 that.if they addrest against you "You would fart at them," and if they 
 bark at you, " You had a dog in your Arse would not only bark at but bite 
 them," comparing them with " a fart, which makes a great noise and goes 
 off with a stink," &c.

 It is well known that the philosophy of Aristotle, which was so strenuously 
 
 maintained by the Roman Church against Galileo, had been previously 
 
 condemned by the same Church, and even by the Fathers, who directed 
 
 Pcripaticians to be burnt.

 4146 Leonardi (Camilli) Speculum Lapidum, Venetiis per J. B. Sessa, 1502 
 
 This valuable work was translated mto English on account of its rarity, 
 which the Ti'anslator states to be so great that 100 pistoles had been given 
 for a copy. Leonardi mentions the polarity of the Magnet. He also 
 (fob XLVTiI) speaks of Francesco de Bologna, alias Francia, as a skilful 
 engraver, and also of other cotemporary sculptors, a quotation very ably 
 employed by M. Panizzi in his admirable dissertation, " Chi era Francesco 
 da Bologna." Amongst Painters he commends Pietro Borgo and Melozo 
 of Ferrara, " qui pingendi regulas Geometricis Arithmetricis ac Perspec- 
 tivis regulis miro ordine industria ac docti'ina iustituerunt," and praises 
 exceedingly Ant)REAS Mantegna.

 uncut royal 4to. Roma, 1857 
 
 This is the first volume of a contemplated edition of the entire -works of Fibo- 
 nacci, the most celebrated Mathematician of the Xlllth Century. This 
 Liher Abbaci is complete in itself, and was wi-itten in the year 1202. About 
 20 years ago M. Libri called attention to the work by publishing a chapter 
 from it relating to Algebra. The rest remained inedited until now, when 
 Prince Boncompagni, with his usual munificence, determined to present 
 to the public the important writings of this early Pisan Mathematician. 
 This volume does very great credit to the noble editor.

 Desires to make Known, that THE IMPRESSION, Six Hundred Copies, 
 
 WILL BE SOLD BY PUBLIC AUCTION DURING THE PRESENT SEASON, 
 
 at the House of Business of the Author, by 
 
 HIS PARTNER, MR. JOHN WILKINSON, 
 in like manner as the 230 copies of The Principia Typographica, 3 vols. 4to. 
 
 The present Work, consisting of nearly 250 pages of Text, in Imperial Quarto, with 25 or 
 more Plates of Fac-similes, is now nearly finished printing, and will be entitled,

 BY 
 
 SAMUEL LEIGH SOTHEBY, F.S.A. 
 
 SPECIMEN COPIES WILL BE EXHIBITED TWO MONTHS BEFORE THE SALE TAKES PLACE. 
 
 It is a great relief to the mind, after many years of untiring perseverance upon one 
 subject, to find another of a less laborious nature, yet equally congenial to one's peculiar 
 taste, as a temporary substitute for a pursuit which, though interrupted, has been the 
 pleasurable amusement of earlier days. I allude to my " Bibliographical Account of 
 the Pnnted Works of the English Poets to the period of the Restoration. 
 
 Such has been the case in the prosecution of the researches which will form the subject 
 of the volume announced ; a work which would not have been undertaken but for the 
 l;indness received from the late Rev. Dr. Bandinel in superintending the execution of fac-simile 
 Of the autograph inscription in the copy of the first edition of the " Poems of Milton," 
 piesented by the Poet to Dr. Rous. — The facilities afforded for the examination, at Trinity 
 College, Cambridge, of that far-famed volume containing the Juvenile Poems in the 
 AuxoGEApH op the Poet, followed by the kind permission of Trinity College, to make 
 use' of the volume, under the assisting inspection of those in whose charge it is kept. — 
 The immediate acquiescence on the part of Sir John Romilly, the Master of the Rolls, 
 to alow of fac-similes to be made of various portions of the original Manuscript of 
 " .C^ Doctrind Christiana" preserved in the State Paper Ofiice, where I have had the kind 
 aid (jf Mr. Lechmere and Mr. Lemon ; and, lastly, though not least, the uniform courtesy, 
 inquiries, received from Sir Frederick Madden at the British Museum. 
 /he text will be illustrated with ten plates of fac-similes from the Autograph Poems of 
 M^ton, preserved in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, including the first page 
 (f 1^^ Arcades ; " '■'■Comus;" '■'■ Lycidas ; " '■^ First Design of Paradise Lost ; " ^^ Designs 
 Ef)British Tragedies" two pages ; " Sonnets" &c. ; numerous other plates of Autograph 
 
 «6cuments in the Bodleian Library, Oxford ; the State Paper Ofiice ; the British Museum, 
 
 'd Eiany other sources, including above Ten Specimens by the 
 
 PROCESSES OF THE ELECTRO-PRINTING BLOCK COMPANY, 
 the upp. r side of the outer covers of the binding will be a Design, by J L. TopPER, 
 cniipKtiatical oi Paradise Lost, the other side having one of Paradise Regained. 
 
 On (\?yinner side of the cover will be Two Photograph Portraits of Milton — one from 
 thi^ origiiti/l cast taken from the life about 1654, — the only one taken. The Bust has been 
 most careitUy preserved at Christ's, — Milton's own, — College, Cambridge, the Authorities 
 thereof havfli^^gracicusly allowed me to make use of it. The other portrait, with the kind 
 permission of Wwian^ Baker, Esq., of Bayfordbury, will be from the little known but beau- 
 tiful Crayon Di'aw )% taken fom life about 1666. 
 
 Unlike my lai woir, " The Principia Typogkaphica," I am induced to think that the 
 one heie . ■ )ed.4t the moderate price of £2. 12s. &d. at the utmost, will yield a 
 
 profit; bi;i. Jesire^o "^m< money rn m?/^Mrse" by my literary amusements, being 
 
 quite conteii -^.^ ae emohni)^»uteof my business by the kind support of the public, and 
 valuable aid trn,> Partner and S^SSL it is my intention to devote whatever pecuniary 
 advantage may ■xclse. from the sale ot l^ announced issue of the work to the funds of 
 the several benevolent institutions above mentioned.
