 T Is now and then my pleasure to 
 have a visit from a modest and kindly 
 
 tio-n Is sufflblent to provide liberal 
 equipment for a half dozen ordinary schol- 
 ars. In the midst of the busy daily round 
 r have no more wholesome diversion than 
 to sit baok a^'d listen to his acute com- 
 ment on books and literature, aptJ to mar- 
 vel at the vaxiety and the exactness o£ his 
 learning. To mention the name of George 
 Philip Philes would mean nothing to the 
 multitude, but to men of letters in New 
 England and New York and Philadelphia 
 and in our colleges It would mean a master 
 of the science of bibliography, to whom 
 many of them have been ihdebted In the 
 past forty years for ddvloe and criti- 
 cism, and on" whose delicate Greek face, 
 even In his advancing years, behind his 
 quaint spectacles, is the impress of Intel- 
 lectual alertness in old age. The most 
 placid pf philosophers, he is also the most 
 sfej-upulous of critics. The most charitable 
 of men In his scrutiny' of the weaknesses 
 of the literary character, he was once 
 known in New York as the literary con- 
 stable In detecting many a plagiarist, hum- 
 bug or pretender. 
 
 • * • * 
 
 I could tell you not a little of his a,ttain- 
 ments In classf d'' lore and foreign litera- 
 ture, lof his relations to the bookwprms of i 
 old Nassau stfeetjand of the extent of his 
 varied researches in Europe «|»d the Uni- 
 ted States since ^he days when he left 
 college. But I know that If he were ajware 
 at this moment that I was writing a ■virord 
 about his personalltj^ he would rush at 
 once to me and Insist that I should not 
 thrust him Into public notice. Some day 
 I hope to overcome his diffidence long 
 enough to enable you to view what I think 
 would be an Interesting picture of tlje 
 mental habits of his simple life, together 
 with the useful) things he has done in his 
 quiet, unostentatious way to promote 
 cause of honesi learning. 
 
■; ^efe; was a time whprt a blblio^apher 
 Iri thiscoiiTtitrj- was looked upon simply as 
 fai Wf morlzer of title pages or compiler of 
 iifet£and this notion of the calling Is still 
 by Ms means uncommon. But when Mr. 
 Phffejjjronounces judgment on a book 
 ofjJBtost, he knows not simply all that 
 iA^BMfe,value on Its pages, but all that 
 is wglBl m owlng as to Its d.Uthor, Us his- 
 tory .'Ptp^pogriaphy, its editions and its 
 ■ relation to other books. His memory In 
 thip respect Is one of the very best , I 
 have ever seen. More than this, he has 
 that punctilious sense of accuracy which 
 shriiiks from the slightest misstatementi J 
 even If it involves only 4n Inconsequential 
 letter or a comma. A slovenly ma^e quo- 
 tatlon, a piece of lying rhetoric, an as-^ 
 sumption of superior aiithority on the part 
 of some light waisted popinjay aping 
 the role of a roan of letters; and all the 
 trieks ^of the charlatans of literature 
 I encounter anything but agreeable treat- 
 ment when he appUfes to them his calm, 
 but illuminative, searchlight. It is this 
 love of strict ^adherence to fact and truth 
 which he has'caErled Into his blbllograph- 
 leal worlc with an old-fashioned zeal which 
 few men, however honest, would have the 
 patience to emulate. 
 
 « « * « 
 What led me to introduce this blbliogra-' 
 pher to your attention was the report from 
 London that at the sale of Lord Ashburn- 
 ham's library, a copy of the first edition 
 of the Gutenberg Bible was sold for £4,000, 
 one of the highest prices ever paid for an 
 old book. This surt)a,sses the amount on 
 which the Gutenberg Bible, in the oollec- 
 tloilof Mr. Brayton Ives, of New York, 
 was bid in at the great sale of his books 
 seven years ago, when it was knocked 
 down for $14,800 to James W. Ellswbrth,of 
 Chldagb, m whose possession it stilt re- 
 mains. Some years before It had been 
 bought by Hamiltoh Cole for $8,0(50; he 
 sold It to Ives for $15,000, and the S.sh-1 
 iburnham price will now put a new value 
 on Mr. Ellsworth's copy. The sale of 
 UBrayton Ives's collection was, indeed, the 
 CTllgh-water mark of prices at an AmeHpan 
 baok auction. Mr. Ives, who Is now pres- 
 Ideiit of a New York bank, had years ago t. 
 fc^wnd relaxation after a hard day's work 
 i*t"Wall Btree^ in collecting rare books. 
 The diversioh^^cama an enthusiasm, and 
 the enthu^^^^ a ' passion. ^Jle^ ,1}^-

 common oocuirenoi for him to write a

 a Peter Martyr or a Cicero, When he 
 Sent his bool^ to auction, the average 
 price a lot, each lot being usually a ain- 
 ?le book, was $107.75, and the total 
 amount of the sala was $124,235! '*

 ThQ catalogue of this extraordinary sale 
 
 i Will long bo an object of interest. It is a 
 book of ^pre than three hundred pages, 
 describing' the collection, and is profoundly 
 annotated;' No better specimen of cata- 
 loguing as an art has ever been put to 
 press In the United , States, and I was 
 pleased to learn recently that it was (ine 
 of the products of ilr. Philes's biblio- 
 graphical'Sditing, showing the same fine 
 typographip taste, the same care with 
 texts and the same Informing comment 
 Whloli distinguishes his "Philobiblipn," p, 
 peH9fl^c^ published by him m3.ny years 
 ago on tlie choicest India paper, and even 
 lipw a pleasure to ijhe eye. The typo- 
 graphical resources of "The Bulletin's" 
 composing-room do not enable pie to re- 
 produce, as I would like to do, eo'm.e speci- 
 mens of the scholastic diligence wlilch en- 
 tered into the preparation of this cata- 
 logue—the Greek, Xiatin, Middle- Age Latin, 
 Old French and Spanish title pages, and 
 quotations minutely reproduced, the Judi- 
 cious potes. and explanations, and the 
 clever use of type for bringing before the 
 reader the physiognomy of a book. It Is a 
 pity that the oatalog'ues of oUr great libra- 
 ries, so far, at least, as rare and valu- 
 able books are concerned are not pre- 
 pared w|th the same ample knowledge ofj 
 their subject matter and the same ex- 
 planatory comment for the guidance of the 
 uninformed or the saving of the time of all 
 
 who may have occasion to consult them.

 Philes, the eminent authority upon i 
 Americans, and especially New York:! 
 and Philadelphia imprints, quite un-i 
 expectedly, while glancing over the', 
 bouKs upon the 10 cent stand of a'-

 In speaking of this book, Mr. Philes;

 so excessively rare that but three per-

 to be in existence. One of these is in

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

 " The very mention of .lEsop darts a species of electricity through the limbs of an ardent 
 Collector. He thinks how dearly he loved in his boyish days to read the supposed adven- 
 tures, the wily tricks, and the arch sayings of all the Animals introduced into this instructive 
 volume; and as his knowledge expands, and his taste becomes matured, he spares no trouble, 
 nor sticks at any cost, to become the possessor of most of those impressions- which are distin- 
 guished for rarity, or price, or curious and costly embellishments." — DiBDiN.

 10 ALMANAC (FRENCH).— ALMANACK | de | Versailles, ^««^V ^ 
 
 One vol. 12°; bound in red morocco with a large cartouche tooled in the center of both sides. 
 . It contains the arms of France and of Austria, each on a shield, surrou-nded by a wreath and a royal 
 
 crown above. The binding is a good and well preserved specimen of the French work of the last cen- 
 tury. The book is in excellent condition and is enclosed in a morocco case. 
 
 This little volume will be esteemed chiefly because it came from the library of the unfortu- 
 nate Queen Marie Antoinette and bears her arms. But it has a considerable intrinsic value, 
 inasmuch as it gives minute descriptions of Versailles, Trianon, " Le Petit Trianon," etc., and 
 lists of the names of the King's and Queen's attendants. It gives a vivid picture of the enor- 
 mous expense necessary to carry on the royal household, and goes far to explain the restlessness 
 • of the French people under the taxation necessary to provide funds for such lavish expenditure.

 This identical copy, which was formerly in the possession of Sir M. M, Sykes, is 
 described by Dibdin in the following ecstatic terms ; " How can I omit to mention, with the 
 distinction which it merits, the very beautiful, if not matchless, copy of Theodore Gaza's 
 Latin version oi "Aristotle upon Animals," of the date of 1476, in folio, UPON VELLUM, from 
 the press of John of Cologne— of which my friend Sir M. M. Sykes is the fortunate pos- 
 sessor ! If my memory be not treacherous, this is the most exquisite specimen of an early 
 Venetian vellum book that I have ever seen."

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

 Although this book has neither title page, date, printer's name, nor place of publication, it is 
 well known to be the second edition of Arnold's Chronicle printed by Peter Treveris about 1521. 
 The first edition was printed in Antwerp in 1503. 
 
 This copy is perfect in every way. Both as a rare specimen of early printing and a chron- 
 icle of the old corporations of London and many curious customs of the City, the volume pos- 
 sesses unusual interest.

 FIRST EDITION, and of the HIGHEST DEGREE OF RARITY. It begins 
 with the Table, which occupies 12 leaves ; then follows the Text on 257 leaves, ending on 
 
 the recto, second column, of the last, with the words DEO GRATIAS. ^^ Some copies 
 
 are without these last two mysterious words, which are supposed to signify, " Godt allein die 
 'Eitixe" (To God alone the Honor). There are neither numerals, signatures, catchwords, nor 
 prefixes to the chapters. The first page is painted in Flower Scrolls and illuminated, and 
 the large Initials at the beginning of each book (22 in number) are finely painted and illumi- 
 nated. The present is a fine, large copy, clean and sound, with rough edges, excepting the last 
 two leaves, which have been repaired. Size 14% x 11 inches. 
 
 Bound in old red morocco, double paneled sides, gilt borders, with comer ornaments. 
 
 *,* This edition was printed in the Monastery at Subiaco, and is the ^Ain^ known produc- 
 tion of that Monastic Press. From the exact resemblance of its types to those of the edition of 
 Lactantius, executed two years before, in the same Monastery, and from both these works 
 being expressly noticed by Sweynheym and Pannartz among the earliest of their produc- 
 tions (in the list of works prefixed to their edition of De Lyra's Commentary printed in 1472), 
 there is every probability to conclude that these artists were the printers of the present work. 
 Meerman tells us "he turned over the leaves of this book, in the exquisite Library of the Earl 
 of Sunderland, in the year 1759," and agrees with Maittaire in assigning it to the Subla-

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

 Large folio. Elegantly bound in heavy gmsgr. crimson leruant morocco super-extra, richly gilt 
 back, filleted sides with corner ornaments, paneled inside with broad morocco borders, richly gilt 
 and finely tooled, morocco joints, by'Wu. Matthews. UNCUT EDGES. In a sliding case 
 lined with chamois skin. 
 
 FIRST EDITION, printed in small Gothic characters in double columns, without marks 
 of any kind. It contains 373 leaves, which number is correct according to Panzer, Hain, 
 and Brunet ; but DiBDiN makes the copy he describes in " Bibl. Spenceriana " to contain 375 
 leaves, evidently trusting to the pencil numbers to which he refers. The Capitals and 
 Initials throughout the volume are painted in red and blue. This magnificent volume, which 
 is attributed to the press of JOHN GUTENBERG, is regarded as the Fourth Book printed 
 WITH A date ; and its extraordinary rarity and value have been mentioned by most Bibliog- 
 raphers. Its importance is largely due to the fact that it is the FIRST LEXICON or diction- 
 ary ever published. The present copy is an exceedingly fine one; the leaves measure i6xiij^ 
 inches. It is sound and perfect in every leaf, and nearly as clean as if it had but just been 
 issued from the press. The copy in Sir John Thorold's Library, with edges cut and gilt, sold 
 in 1884 for ;^40o.

 MENTZ : Joannes Gutenberg. [1450-1455 ?] 
 
 In the origi7ial binding, thick oak boards covered with stamped calf, orna- 
 mented brass corners and center-pieces, with bosses ; many leaves with uncut 
 edges; measuring ii]4 by 15^ ijiches on the leaf. Without title pages, 
 pagination, or signatures ; 641 leaves printed in double columns, 42 lines to a 
 full column ; the initials and rubrics in manuscript throughout. The first vol- 
 ume contains 324 leaves (of which mie is in facsimile) and ends with the 
 Psalms ; the second has 317 leaves (sixteen in facsimile). 
 
 "The honor of producing the first and, as many think, the most perfect book, is now 
 ascribed to Gutenberg alone, Fust not coming in for a share of the credit of the invention until 
 after his famous lawsuit in 1455, when the Bible had been finished. We call it, therefore, the 
 Gutenberg Bible, and have no sympathy for any French name given to it simply because a 
 copy found in a Paris library had the honor of being described by a French bookseller."— H. 
 Stevens (in Caxton Celebration Catalogue). 
 
 It was known formerly as the " Mazarin Bible" from the fact that the earliest published 
 description of it was based on a copy discovered by De Bure in the Mazarin Library. 
 
 While it is impossible to fix with accuracy the date of the appearance of this first printed 
 book, it is generally believed to have been published between 1450 and 1455. That it was not 
 later than 1456 is shown by a MS. npte which is in the copy in the National Library in Paris 
 which states that it was "illuminated, bound and completed on the day of the Assumption of 
 the Virgin Mary [Aug. 15], 1456, by Henricus Albrech, alias Cremer," Vicar of the Collegiate 
 Church of St. Stephen at Mayence. 
 
 Some copies, which may be called a second issue, have 40 lines on each of the first eight 
 pages, 41 on the ninth, and the rest 42. In the later issue the three red lines at the beginning 
 are in type, and not in manuscript as in the 42-line issue. In the first volume of this copy the 
 beginning of the prologue to the Pentateuch (recto of 4th leaf), of the book of Genesis (recto 
 of 5th leaf), and the title and finis (Incipit and Explicit) of each of the books,, from Genesis to 
 Ruth, inclusive, are rubricated in manuscript, not printed. 
 
 The Gutenberg Bible, as Dibdin remarks in his description of Earl Spencer's copy, has 
 been "justly praised for the strength and beauty of the paper, the exactness of the register, the 
 luster of the ink, and the general splendor and magnitude of the volumes." In Asher's 
 announcement, in 1873, the present copy is claimed to be the most beautiful of all known 
 copies on paper. " It is not only the tallest and almost uncut copy, but it is of remarkable fresh- 
 ness and purity, and though it has never been subjected to washing, is without the least stain. 
 One sees by the costliness of its binding and by the beauty of its painted initials, heightened 
 with gold and decorated in arabesques, that it was intended /or the library of some prince or 
 great nobleman. This exceptional excellence brought it ill-fortune, for some barbarian or 
 crazed amateur has taken from it a few leaves, doubtless for the sake of their capital letters." 
 B^ extraordinary good luck some ancient paper was found like that on which the Bible was 
 printed, and the missing leaves were reproduced by photolithographic facsimile with such 
 success that it is not easy to distinguish them. The copy is so nearly uncut that many of the 
 manuscript cues for the rubricator are preserved at the extreme upper margins of the leaves. 
 
 s 
 
 -fT- 
 
On the outer margins can be seen also the holes made by the pins by which the sheets were 
 fastened while going through the press. It is, in other words, just as it came from the press 
 and the hands of the great Inventor of Printing, and, so far as known, is in this respect 
 UNIQUE. The only other copy of this Bible in the United States is in the Lenox Library ; 
 that, however, is one of the "forty-line " edition above referred to, and generally regarded as 
 later than this. A copy was sold in December, 1884, in London, for ^^3,900. It was much 
 smaller than this copy, and was in modern binding. 
 
 The compiler of a catalogue should guard against eulogistic description, but it is difficult to 
 restrain one's enthusiasm while contemplating these magnificent volumes. Gutenberg may 
 have failed in his preliminary trials, but if so, he concealed the fact. So far as we know, he 
 worked patiently until his standard was reached, and then gave to the world a work which as 
 a first production must always be regarded as the most wonderful triumph of inventive genius 
 known to history. Although nearly four and a half centuries have passed since its publication, 
 this book still stands preeminent as a specimen of the printer's skill ; and there is no reason to 
 believe that the coming centuries will produce anything which will deprive it of the position it 
 now holds.

 This Translation of the Bible by John Eliot is scarcely inferior in interest to the noble work 
 of Gutenberg above described. As an instance of learning, industry, piety and zeal it is 
 unexcelled. The Old World was indebted to Gutenberg for its first printed Bible, and Eliot 
 was the first to give it to the New World. Cotton Mather exclaimed, when he saw it, "Behold, 
 ye Americans, the greatest honour that ever you were partakers oft This . . . is the only Bible 
 that ever was printed in all America, from the very foundation of the World." Mr. Eliot was the 
 pastor of r<oxbury, Mass., when he commenced, at the age of forty-two, the study of the Natick 
 dialect, in which this work is printed. He began his task in 1650 and finished it after a labor 
 of eight years. The printing of the Old Testament was commenced in 1660 and the work 
 was completed in 1663. The printers required a week for each sheet, and there were about a 
 hundred and fifty sheets. The names of the 6ooks are retained as in the English versions, and 
 such words as were unknown to the Indians are retained with an Indian termination, such as 
 cherubim/aA, etc. The longest word is, Mark i, 40 : Wutteppesittukqussunnoowehtunkquoh, 
 signifying "kneeling down to him." 
 
 This is one of the copies having the Dedication to King Charles, of which, according 
 to Thomas ("Hist, of Printing"), Twenty Copies only were printed. It is absolutely perfect 
 and in matchless condition. It is so nearly uncut that proof leaves are to be found at every few 
 pages. '

 This Very Rare and interesting little volume consists of 63 leaves, the first of which is occu- 
 pied by the title' and the last two by the colophon and an engraving of the Virgin and Child ; 
 the remaining 60 bear on either side illustrations of the Old and New Testament, giving always 
 two representations of the types to one of the fulfillment. At the top and bottom of the pages 
 are descriptive sentences and quotations from the Prophets, engraved in block. An extraor- 
 dinary degree of interest attaches to the volume, as being the only Block-Book Printed 
 IN Italy. Didot's copy, sold at his sale in May, 1879, brought 1300/rs.

 ing the sudden accouchement «/ " Papess Joanna " in the street, which Dibdin has reproduced 
 in the " Bibl, Spenceriana," Vol. IV., p. 586. It has unusually wide margins and is handsomely 
 bound in russia by Roger Payne, gilt back, untrimmed edges. 
 
 First Edition. "It is not without good reason that Laire pronounces this impression 
 to be ' Editio originalis et rarissima.' It has, however, other pretensions to be noticed and 
 treasured by the curious ; since it not only presents us with a specimen of a type — rarely used 
 by John Zeiner — and one of the earliest books printed at Ulm, butit contains someof the most 
 curious and diverting woodcuts in the earUer annals of the arts of printing and engraving. 
 There are also very few books, of the same date, which display equal spirit of execution, ^nd

 When perfect it is one of the rarest of the ed^ons of Boccaccio. This is believed to be the

 Black Letter. This handsome volume is commonly known as Queen Elizabeth's 
 Prater-book, in consequence of the large woodcut portrait of the Queen, on the reverse of 
 the title, in the attitude of prayer. The work is elegantly printed within ornamental woodcut 
 borders, in imitation of the French "Books of Hours " and is remarkable as being the only 
 English book of the kind. The borders contain scenes from the Old and Xew Testament, the 
 Apocalypse, illustrations of the Cardinal Virtues, and the Dance of Death, which last contains 
 specimens of the costumes of all ranks in the time of Elizabeth and James I. The author- 
 ship of the work is by some attributed to John Foxe, and by others to Richard Day.

 EXCESSIVELY RARE volume. 
 
 This copy is from the Menzies Collection. In that Catalogue the well-known bookseller^ 
 Wm. Gowans, is quoted as saying: " The New-York Edition of Robert Burns, 1788, may so 
 far be pronounced unique. No copy, with the exception of the one named [the present], has 
 been seen by the most sharp hawlc-eyed book hunter, or the keenest bibliographer, nor by any 
 of the living generation so far as known."

 It is doubtful whether this or the New York Edition of the same date is the First American 
 Edition of Burns's Poems. Probably they appeared at about the same time. Both are exceed-

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

 No feature of the American portion of this collection is more remarkable and rare than this 
 series of Champlain's voyages. A similar set has not been offered at public or private sale in 
 this country or in Europe in the present generation. The collector is fortunate if he secures 
 any one of these volumes in good condition, and the possession of all together may vifell reward 
 the search of a lifetime.

 Sm.ip. Gothic Letter, io leaves, 33 lines on a full page ; without signatures, catch- 
 words, and pagination. Bound in brown morocco super-extra, filleted sides with comer ornaments, 
 broad inside gold torders, gUt edges, by C. LEWIS. 
 
 This is one of tlie most valuable books, from a bibliographical point of view, in the present 
 collection. It is of the highest degree of rarity. Lord Spencer's copy and this are sup- 
 posed to be the only copies in existence. It is also the FIRST WORK issued by Uleic 
 Zel with a date, and settles with complete certainty the fact that he exercised the art of 
 printing at Cologne as early as the year 1466. The type appears to be new ; the ink jet 
 black ; and the whole has a freshness and perfection of press-work about it which Dibdin 
 says " he does not remember to have seen in any other production of the press of Ulric Zel. "

 First Edition, and of very great rarity. It is in Gothic Letter, without marks, hav- 
 ing 28 lines to a full page. It contains 88 leaves and 4 blank leaves ruled. It is, as is well 
 known, the FIRST CLASSIC PRINTED, and one of the first two printed books in which 
 printed Greek characters appear. The present copy is one of those which have not the shields 
 beneath the lines of Horace ; but it answers in every other respect to the description given by 
 DiBDiN in "Bib. Spenc." The large initials are ornamented, and the capitals are painted in blue 
 and red ; and there are running titles written in red at the top of each page. The size of this 
 copy is loji X 6^ in. There are no other known copies of this edition printed on vellum in 
 this country.

 ruled throughout with red lines. This copy is from the WodhuU Library. It contains a 
 memorandum stating that he paid £2$ for it in 1803. There is also a letter to Mr. Wodhull 
 from " de Bure, pfere et fils," assuring him that this copy conforms in every respect with that in 
 the Bibliothfeque Nationale at Paris.

 This copy is beautifully PRINTED UPON FINE VELLUM, of which, Brunet 
 says, "NO MORE THAN SIX COPIES ARE EXTANT." PANZER has proved beyond all ques- 
 tion that it is THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED AT VENICE, and the FIRST WORK bearing 
 the name of ]OHN DE SPIRA as printer. The COLOPHON, which is on the verso of the last leaf, 
 is as follows:

 CICERO (M. T.) — EPISTOL^ ad FAMILIARES. 
 Venetiis, lohannes de Spira, 1469. 
 
 Folio ; 134 unnumbered leaves, 41 lines on a full page. The first page is surrounded by a broad, 
 interlaced, painted border, heightened with gold, and all the large Initials are richly Illumi- 
 nated in gold and variegated colors. The small Initials are in red and blue. The work begins 
 on the recto of the first leaf as follows : 
 
 [-^JGo omni officio ac potius pietate erga te caeteris 
 fatiffacio oibus : mihi ipfe nunq fatiffacio. Tanta 
 enim magnitude efl tuorum erga me meritorum : 
 ut quoniam tu nifi perfecta re de me no conc^efti : 
 
 This first page contains 38 lines. The Colophon, which appears on the recto 
 of the 134//^ and last leaf , reads thus : 
 
 Hefperie quondam Germanus quofq3 libellos

 Bound in fine old crimson morocco, gilt back and edges, paneled sides with comer ornaments. 
 
 A large, dean, and truly sumptuous copy of the Second Edition of the Familiar 
 Epistles op Cicero printed by John de Spira ; the third and last work ever executed 
 by him. It appears from the Colophon that he printed only three hundred copies of each edition 
 of the Epistles ; and this second edition is considered to he of equal rarity, if not rarer even 
 than the first.

 This copy belonged to the Duke of Grafton in 1796 and passed at the sale of his books to 
 the Syston Park Library. It is in every way a beautiful volume. The binding is in excellent- 
 preservation, and the condition of the book itself is all that could be desired. The first page 
 has been illuminated by the hand of an Italian artist. It is surrounded by a brilliant border of 
 arabesque pattern, in -which is a medallion containing a wonderfully executed head of Cicero. 
 The large initial letter "N " is in red and blue and gold. The paper, with wide margins, the 
 ink, and the general typographical excellence of the work justify the care which has been 
 bestowed on the binding and ornamentation by its former illustrious owners.

 by Meerman" in his " Origines Tyfog." (Vol. \.,p. 58, note i.,) to whom it was shown in 1759, and

 The Philippics, the Orations against Verres, and those in favor oi Fonieius and Roscius, axe 
 omitted in this edition. According to DiBDiN, ' ' a nobler or a lovelier volume never issued from 
 the press of an early printer. I am \it\\ nigh disposed to call it the chefd'ceuvre of the Val- 
 darfer press.'' The last words, " LODO CARBO," are supposed by Panzer, Tira- 
 BOSCHi, and Santander to signify the name of LODOVICUS Carbo, vd Kohl, the editor, 
 or corrector of the press, in Valdarfer's office.

 Translation : 
 
 Sir, As I know you will be rejoiced at the glorious success that our Lord 
 has given me in my voyage, I write this to tell you how in thirty-three days 
 I sailed to the Indies with the fleet that the Illustrious King and Queen, 
 our Sovereigns, gave me, where I discovered a great many islands inhabited 
 by innumerable people ; and of all I have taken possession for their High- 
 nesses by proclamation and display of the Royal Standard, without opposition. 
 
 4° ; bound in old silk, four unnumbered leaves, 32 lin^s to a full page, printed throughout in 
 Gothic Letter. 
 
 Although this letter contains much the same matter as that addressed to Sanchez, they are 
 really two entirely distinct documents, of which the present appears to have been written first. 
 Sant Angel was the personal friend of Columbus through whose influence the Queen was induced 
 to promote his expedition, after she had declined to grant any assistance. It was not unnatural, 
 therefore, that Columbus should have sent this personal letter to his friend before making his 
 official report to the Royal Treasurer. This letter, in connection with the following addressed to 
 Sanchez, is of the greatest interest and importance as giving the earliest surviving description 
 of the New World. These three little volumes, containing the first accounts written by the great 
 navigator himself, form, when considered together, a collection of bibliographical treasures 
 which no library in the world can rival. Until about twenty-five years ago it was supposed 
 that no copy of Columbus's Letter in Spanish was to be found. Then, however, a copy was dis- 
 covered in the Ambrosian Library at Milan. The present volume was found in the possession 
 of an Italian family only two years ago. It is very much like the Ambrosian copy, but the 
 typographical differences are such as to prove that they are separate and different editions. 
 Several eminent authorities in England and America have expressed the opinion, based upon 
 the correction of errors and other internal evidence, that this is the Editio Princeps, and that 
 the Ambrosian was copied from it. About the time of the discoVery of this copy, another, in 
 Spanish, in folio form, was offered for sale by a dealer in Paris for about $13,000. Such an 
 eminent authority as Mr. Harrisse did not hesitate to assert that it was not a genuine early 
 edition ; but a London bookseller has recently obtained possession of this latter copy, and 
 advertises it at about two-thirds of the former owner's price, or $8000, as being the only and 
 original edition. He seems to be quite confident both as to the time and place when and where 
 it was printed. Inasmuch as it bears no mark of date or place or printer's name, it is unneces- 
 sary to say that positive assertions as to these points cannot be sustained by proof. It is claimed 
 that the folio form was the original, as being the usual form of the " broadsides " of the time. 
 But it is indisputable that all of the editions of the earliest voyages hitherto known are in quarto 
 form. This is true not only of all the Latin and Spanish editions of Columbus's Letter, but of 
 Vespucius's Voyages, of Pomponius Mela, of The Cosmographias Introductio, of Varthema, and 
 others. Now as the ' ' broadside ' ' or folio form is more easily published, being folded but once. 
 
r.&o 
 
 74 (Catalogue of ^ooftie^ and £t^anujefmj^tie(. 
 
 it is natural to suppose diat, if this were tlie original form, those printers who wished to repro- 
 duce the Letter in a popular edition would have repeated it. Furthermore, it is almost certain 
 that some one of the eight Latin and Spanish early editions already known would have imitated 
 the folio had that been the original form. But as a matter oMact they are all quartos. On the 
 other hand, it would be quite natural for a printer who wished to reproduce a popular tract to take 
 the easiest and cheapest style, and so he would print the four small leaves on two larger ones, 
 folded once. These considerations seem to be natural and logical, but it is not claimed that 
 they are conclusive. From the very nature of things the facts must always remain matters of 
 conjecture, and dogmatic statements are unjustifiable. Both the folio and the quarto were 
 offered to the owner of the latter at about the same price, and the present copy was bought, 
 after a careful investigation of the merits of both, in the belief that it was the earlier edition and 
 more desirable in every respect. Nothing has since come to light to change that belief. The 
 weight of evidence indicates that it is a unique and genuine copy of the ABSOLUTELY 
 EARLIEST REPORT OF COLUMBUS'S GREAT DISCOVERY. 
 
 The volume is perfect, and its condition is all that could be demanded.

 Letter from Christopher Colom : to whom our age oweth much : con-

 the search of which he was sent under the auspices and at the expense of 
 the most invincible Sovereigns of Spain, Ferdinand and Isabella : addressed 
 to the most noble lord Gabriel Sanchis, Treasurer of the same most serene 
 monarchs : which the noble and learned man Leander de Cosco translated 
 from the Spanish idiom into Latin, the third day of the calends of May, 1493.

 4° ; iouKii in vellum. Four unnumbered leaves, 33 lines to a full page, printed throughout in 
 Gothic I^etter. 
 
 Without place, date, or printer's name, but according to Major printed by Stephen Plannck 
 at Rome, in 1493. No two authorities agree as to the priority of date of the early editions of 
 Columbus's Letter in Latin. Mr. R. H. Major, of the Bridsh Museum, is the most recent 
 bibliographer who has tried to solve the mystery, and his arguments are so logical and weighty' 
 that it seems impossible to controvert them. Mr. John Russell Bartlett, himself a high 
 authority, agrees with Mr. Major, and places this edition first in his catalogue of the John 
 Carter Brown Library. The reasons which influenced his action have caused the compiler 
 of this catalogue to follow his example. 
 
 The present is a most beautiful copy in every respect. It is from the Barlow Library.

 Hakrisse, who, previous to Major, had written the most fully concerning the Letters of 
 Columbus, places this edition first. (" Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima," New York, 1866.) It 
 was placed first, also, in the catalogue of the Barlow Library, at the sale of which it fetched 
 $2900. It is exceedingly rare. Mr. Bartlett states that but four other copies of this edition 
 are known. The present copy is perfect and in brilliant condition, excepting that a name has 
 been written in ink on the margin of the first page.

 This is the First German Edition of Columbus's first Letter. The present copy has, 
 unfortunately, three leaves in facsimile, but the volume is so exceedingly rare that the owner has 
 never had an opportunity to buy another copy, either at public or private sale, and thought him- 
 self very fortunate to obtain this.

 Now that the " Dark Continent" has been opened to the civihzed world there seems to be 
 but little work remaining for discoverers. But so long as the love of adventure exists, the 
 narratives of the bold explorers who crossed unknown seas and penetrated strange countries 
 will never fail to command attention. As a record of the thrilling experiences of Capt. Cook, 
 the iirst navigator to make a complete circuit of the world, these volumes must occupy an 
 honorable and important place in every library. The present set is exceptionally fine.

 THE LETTERS OF FERNANDO CORTES. c u 
 
 Mr. TiCKNOR, in speaking of the adventurers who after Columbus wrote narratives of '^ "j 
 their discoveries, says: "In the foregrotmd of this picturesque group stands, as the most '^■'■' 
 ' brilliant of its figures, Fernando Cortes. . Of his works, the most remarkable were, no 
 doubt, five long and detailed reports to the Emperor on the affairs of Mexico, the first of 
 which, and probably the most curious, dated in 1519, seems to be lost, and the last, belonging 
 probably to 1527, exists only in manuscript." 
 
 The First Editions of the three known printed editions are hereinafter described. Their 
 rarity is such that there has been but one opportunity to buy them at public sale in a generation. 
 With the exception of the last leaf in the First Edition of the Third Letter, which is one of 
 Pilinski's facsimiles, so wonderfully executed that it escaped the notice of the author of Mr. 
 Barlow's Catalogue until after the completion of his work, the volumes are perfect and in 
 exceptionally fine condition. 
 
 They are from the Barlow Collection.

 Translation : 
 
 '' Letter of relation sent to His Sacred Majesty, the Emperor, our Lord, 
 by the Captain General of New Spain, called Fernando Cortes, in which 
 is an account of the lands and provinces without number which have been 
 newly discovered in Yucatan, from the year XIX to the present j and 
 which he subjected to the Royal Crown of His Sacred Majesty. In par- 
 ticular is an account of a very great province, very rich, called Culua ; and 
 of grand cities and marvelous edifices; and of great trade and riches, 
 among which is one more wonderful and rich than the rest, called Timixtitan, 
 which with wonderful skill is built upon a great lake, of which city and 
 province a great lord, called Montezuma, is king ; where tliere happened, 
 to the Captain and Spaniards things wonderful to hear. With a full account 
 of the great estate of the said Montezuma, of his rites and ceremonies, and 
 how he is waited upon. 
 
 " The present letter was printed in the very noble and very loyal city of 
 Seville by Jacob Cromberger, a German, on the 8th day of November, 1522."

 246 DE BRY (THEODOR). 
 
 THE GREAT AND SMALL VOYAGES. 
 
 Theodor De Bry commenced in 1590 the most costly and extensive series of Voyages 
 ever undertaken. His plan contemplated originally the publication of them in EngUsh, French, 
 German, and Latin. But after the first volume had been issued the plan was modified, and the 
 subsequent volumes were published only in Latin and German. After his death the work was 
 continued by his widow, his sons, and others. Seventeen years intervened between the publi- 
 cation of Parts IX and X of the Great Voyages, and the work was not completed until 1634. In 
 this period of forty-four years it was inevitable that with the changes of partners and variations 
 of plans there should be more or less confusion of editions. And as a matter of fact a collector 
 cannot set for himself a greater task than to gather a complete set of De Bry. Probably that 
 goal has never yet been reached, although a few have nearly attained it. The present set is 
 the best that the owner has been able to buy in twenty years of collecting. A most careful 
 collation justifies the statement that all the Parts are the First Editions in Latin, and that 
 they are perfect. But the impropriety of speaking (00 positively on this point may be realized 
 when such a high authority as Sobolewski says (Brunet,Vo1. 1 1, at the end) he is "convinced 
 that the two impressions of the first edition are always found mingled, and that it is impossible to 
 decide the question of priority." The set includes many additions and variations as hereinafter 
 described ; also the General Title and the rare Elenchus. Its condition is excellent, and it forms 
 a fitting supplement to the Voyages of Columbus, Vespucius, Cortes, and Champlain, described 
 elsewhere in this Catalogue.

 This French version of the first part of the Grands Voyages of De Bry is the only part 
 which was published in French and English. It is of the greatest possible rarity in both 
 languages. But one copy of the original English Edition has been sold publicly in this 
 country for a score of years, and there has been no public sale of a perfect copy of this French 
 translation in that time. This copy is not only perfect, but it is in the most brilliant condition 
 throughout.

 Folio; bound in calf, with gilt edges. ORIGINAL EDITION. 
 
 This copy contains all the plates, explanations, titles, and indexes of the original edition, 
 including the map ; all in fine condition. The only changes to be noticed are that, while the 
 plate of Adam and Eve with the words Theodore de Bry fe at the bottom of it is usually to be 
 found after the Index Omnium Capitum, in the present copy it fronts the title-page. The 
 Beneuolo Lectoris, which generally follows the Adam and Eve engraving, is found here after the 
 XXIII. illustration. The other parts are all in the regular order, and the map and plates are 
 fine impressions.

 Sm. 4° ; bound in vellum, without tooling. 
 
 This volume will always command a place in the very front rank of Americana as the First , 
 Account of New York printed in English. It contains much interesting information 
 told in quaint fashion. In giving an account of the fruits natural to the Island the author men- 
 tions " Mulberries. Posimons, Grapes great and small, Huckelberries, Cramberries, Plums of 
 several sorts, Rosberries and Strawberries, of which last is such abundance in June that the 
 Fields and Woods are died red ; Which the Countrey-People perceiving, instantly arm them- 
 selves with bottles of Wine, Cream and Sugar, and instead of a Coat of Male, every one takes 
 a Female upon his Horse behind him, and so rushing violently into the fields, never leave till 
 they have disrob'd them of their red colours, and turned them into the old habit." 
 
 As a bibliographical rarity this copy is, in one respect, almost unique : It is believed to be 
 the only one in this country which has the printed date. The title-page was printed on such a 
 large scale that the date at the bottom of it was uniformly cut off by the binder. The date was 
 so rare that GOWANS, the veteran collector and dealer, had not seen a copy with it, and omitted 
 it in his reprint of the book. The present copy is perfect and all that could be desired in every 
 respect. It has very wide margins and is unusually clean throughout.

 *' Old Plays will always be read by the curious, if it were only to discover the manners 
 and behaviour of several ages and how they altered. For plays are exactly like portraits, 
 drawn in the garb and fashion of the time when painted. You see one habit in the time of 
 Charles I. ; another quite different from that, both for men and women, in Queen Elizabeth's 
 time ; another under Henry the Eighth different from both, and so backward all various. And 
 in the several fashions of behaviour and conversation there is as much mutability as in that 
 of clothes."^ [Wright's] Historia Histrionica, Lond., 1699. -j

 The foregoing seven volumes form a set of Elliot's works which is as rare as it is beautiful 
 and instructive. In connection with Audubon they present an account of American birds so 
 complete as almost to render superfluous further works of a similar character. The drawing 
 and coloring of the birds is exquisitely true to hfe, and the letterpress shows a wide and accu- 
 rate knowledge of the subject.

 and the printed list of the consuls are perfect. The two are seldom found, and add to the 
 interest and value of the volume.

 Folio; bound in red morocco, gilt edges, by DfeROME. 
 
 The First Edition of this world-renowned book, and in a form befitting its value and 
 reputation. To those who have struggled over the cheap and bleared copies which modern 
 presses turn out for the use of schools and colleges, this work, with its broad margins, brilliant 
 black ink, exquisitely engraved initials, and clearly cut diagrams, must come as a revelation of 
 beauty. And even from bibliographers few books have won more enthusiastic praise than 
 Ratdolt's Euclid. It is the first book in which mathematical diagrams appeared. This copy 
 belonged to the Due de la Valifere, and was bought in 1784 by M. WodhuU, who states in a 
 note that the mending of the first two leaves was done by Roger Payne.

 First Edition. Printed in Greek capital letters. It contains the Medea, Hippolytm, 
 Aicestis, and Atidromache. The text stands high in the estimation of scholars. This is a 
 beautiful copy. It has the signatures of two former owners — Dr. Askew and M. WoDHULL. 
 The latter bought it in 1775 and paid for it then £xt S-f- Renouard's copy sold for £36 15J. i iSr 
 
 Neither the date nor place of printing is given, but it is universally admitted to have been ^-^ 
 
 printed by L. de Alopa, at Florence, about 1496. It is excessively rare.

 "An extremely curious and interesting volume, and of the HIGHEST DEGREE 
 OF RARITY. It was an attempt to reproduce, for the commonalty in France, the 'Poor 
 Maris Bible,' which formerly had, under the title of the Biblia Pauperum, such great popularity • 
 in Germany as a Block-book. There is reason to believe that no Block-book edition was ever 
 printed in France, but the Woodcuts are here carefully copied and accompanied by an 
 explanatory text in French. No copy of this rare volume waS in the Didot Collection, and 
 Brunet does not quote the sale of any copy of this edition."

 One vol. stn. 4° ; bound in calf, with arms of Ti^ THOU stamped on the sides. Nu^nerous and 
 curious woodcuts illustrating the horriile tortures inflicted on Christian martyrs. 
 
 This volume comes from the collection of the celebrated bibliophile jACQtJES Auguste de 
 Thou, the friend of Grolier and one of the most remarkable book collectors of the XVIth Cen- 
 tury. His arms are on the sides, flanked by those of Marie de BRABAN90N-CANY, whom he 
 married in 1587. The monogram under the arms is J. A. and M. (Jacques Auguste, Marie), 
 and is repeated seven times on the back. Books from this collection are rare. Begun about 
 the middle of the XVIth Century, this library was kept by his son, after de Thou's death, and 
 passed into the hands of appreciative heirs. In 1789 the Princes de Rohan were compelled 
 through heavy losses to dispose of it. The sale of the books began January 12, and lasted 
 until May 22, 1789.

 " That Gibbon should ever be displaced seems impossible. That wonderful man monopol- 
 ized, so to speak, the historical genius and the historical learning of a whole generation, and 
 left little, indeed, of either for his contemporaries. He remains the one historian of the eigh- 
 teenth century whom modern research has neither set aside nor threatened to set aside. We 
 may correct and improve from the stores which have been opened since Gibbon's time ; we 
 may write again large parts of his story from other and often truer and more wholesome points 
 of view ; but the work of Gibbon as a whole, as the encyclopasdic history of 1300 years, as the 
 grandest of historical designs, carried out alike with wonderful power and with wonderful 
 accuracy, must ever keep its place. Whatever else is read. Gibbon must be read too." — E. A. 
 Freeman.

 COPY OF THIS REMARKABLE WORK. EXCESSIVELY RARE, nearly the whole edition 
 having been destroyed by fire in London. 
 
 " A remarkable work, but one so scarce as to be hardly known at all, except by name, was pub- 
 lished by Glanvil in 1661, with the title, 'The Vanity of Dogmatizing.' A second edition, in 
 
<Catal[o0ue of ^ooh^ anb JtK^nujSfcnjpt^. 119 
 
 1665, considerably altered, is entitled ' Scepsis Scientifica.' This edition has a dedication to 
 the Royal Society. The style is eminently spirited and eloquent ; a little too figurative, like 
 that of , Locke, but less blameably, because Glanvil is rather destroying than building up. No 
 one thinks more intrepidly for himself ; and it is probable that, even in what seems mere super- 
 stition, he had been rather misled by some paradoxical hypothesis of his own ardent genius 
 than by slavishly treading in the steps of others. Few books, I think, are more deserving of 
 being reprinted than the ' Scepsis Scientifica ' of Glanvil."— Hallam. 
 
 GlanviU's curious prediction of the Electro-Magnetic Telegraph will be found on page 134 : 
 "To conferr at the distance of the Indies by Sympathetick conveyances, maybe as usual to 
 future times, as to us in a litterary correspondence." His description of the instrument, and 
 the manner of working it, will be found on pp. 149-150.

 " Carew was born at Devon in 1693, was tried at Exeter about 1739 or 1740, and banished 
 to Maryland, where he went at the cost of the public. He gives an amusing account of the 
 country, and his adventures in Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut, 
 till he embarked at New London for England. His accounts how he bamboozled and bled 
 Whitefield, Thos. Penn, Gov. Thomas, and many others of good repute, are amusing, true or 
 not." — H. Stevens.

 Nothing is calculated to give one a more vivid idea of the rapid and wonderful growth of this 
 country than the perusal of these simple accounts of the sufferings of white prisoners at the 
 bands of the Indians. It seems incredible that within such a comparatively short time those 
 parts of the country which had been settled longest should have been at the mercy of savages. 
 But these brief histories tell their tales with a directness which leaves no room for doubt as to 
 their trustworthiness.

 extremely valuable and interesting compendium of information concerning early Americana. 
 Mr. Harrisse is entitled to much credit for the energy and zeal displayed in his pursuit of 
 knowledge in this direction, and was remarkably successful in securing many rare and valuable 
 books, quite a number of which are in this collection.

 445 HOMER. — The Entire Works of Homer. Printed in Greek, by Deme- 
 ^,f"' trills Cretensis. Two vols, folio. Florence : 1488. 
 
 First Edition. Bound in old red morocco, gilt backs. A very large copy, measuring x-^yi by 
 g'.i inches, quite perfect, with beautifully illuminated capitals throughout {several of which contain 
 the arms of a former owner), the margins and fly-leaves enriched with the valuable MS. notes of the 
 ABEfe BiGNON, to whom the book was presented by Yitic^iii: Francois Jeune, of Marseilles. 
 
 The work commences with two prefaces, one in Latin by Bernardus Nerlius, on the 
 recto of the first leaf; the other by Chalcondyles the Editor, in Greek, commencing on the 
 verso of the same leaf. The Latin preface ends with these words : 
 
 ■■ Vale. FLORENTIAE Idibus lanuariis. M.CCCC.LXXXVIII." 
 Then follows the biography of Homer from Herodotus, succeeded by the preface to Plutarch's 
 biography of the poet. The forty-second leaf is blank, and the Iliad begins on the recto of the 
 forty-third leaf: j^ia^oS A OMHPOT PAYnAlAS. 
 
 ending on the verso of the two hundred and sixth leaf as follows : 
 
 TEA02 TH2 O 
 
 MHPOT 
 
 lAI 
 
 A 
 
 A02 
 
 The second volume begins with the Odyssey, without preface: 
 
 OATSSEIAI; a OMEPOT PAVnAIAS 
 The Odyssey occupies one hundred and sixty-one leaves, and is followed by the Batracho- 
 myomachia, occupying four leaves. The Hymns begin on the recto of the one hundred and 
 sixty-sixth leaf and end with the volume on the verso of the one hundred and eighty-ninth : 
 
 TEA02 TON TOT 
 OMEPOT TMN 
 
 the whole concluding with a colophon of nine lines. 
 
 The foregoing volumes are thus minutely described because they are, as Dibdin justly says, 
 " the boast of every classical collection." Bibliographers and scholars have written enthusiasti- 
 cally of them for centuries. They charm alike the student and the lover of beautiful typo- 
 graphical work. The paper, ink, workmanship, and ornamentation form a fitting shrine for 
 the verses of the great poet of antiquity. And the annotations of the Abb^ Bignon have a 
 special interest from his wonderful learning and high position. Born in 1589, he won a great 
 
Catalogue of ^oo&iEt anti St^anu£ra:^$(. 139 
 
 leputatioD by the publication of a book entitled " Chorographie " when he was only eleven 
 years of age. He was highly esteemed by Henry IV., became a Counselor of State, and was 
 appointed by Richelieu to the charge of the royal library.

 This treatise terminates on the recto of the lotk and last leaf with the word 
 
 FINIS 
 The First Edition of the works of Horace. This copy is from the Syston Park Collec- 
 tion and contains the following note by the former owner : ' ' One of the most valuable books 
 printed in the fifteenth century. See Gesner's remarks in his Preludia on this edition. They 
 prove, in his opinion, that the edition was formed only from one manuscript, which the printers 
 impUcitly followed, and from this singular circumstance he judiciously infers that the good 
 readings which occur in it may be depended upon as proceeding ab antiquo codice nan ab ingenio 
 correctoris. . . It is the only ancient edition which contains the celebrated reading of /reft'»»8 
 mentis for per vim mentis, in verse 140, Epist. 2, Liber 2. The present copy, with the excep- 
 tion of Lord Spencer's, is the finest in the country and far superior to Mr. Grenville's and to the 
 copies in the Bodleian and Melzi collection, which were both in our possession. Mr. Hibbert 
 purchased this copy of Constantine Jennings, who valued it at Two Hundred Pounds."

 8° ; elegantly printed in red and black within ornamental woodcut borders, on 103 leaves of pure 
 vellum, with 19 full-page woodcuts, and 34 of miniature size, all the capitals rubricated and gilt, 
 vellum wrapper, in wrinkled brown morocco case. 
 
 This is an unusually beautiful and interesting specimen of the Parisian Horas. being in con- 
 temporaneous binding and with all the engravings free from color. To find a copy in such 
 perfect condition is a great rarity, inasmuch as the majority of the books of this class were 
 colored by hand so as to make them resemble, as closely as possible, the manuscript missals of 
 the time. Where this work was performed by skillful artists it added to the brilliant appearance 
 of the volume. But as a rule the colorists were inferior, at this period, to the engravers, and 
 the strong, spirited woodcuts, in their original state, wiU always present superior attractions 
 to book-lovers.

 Large 8° ; bound in old crimson morocco, sides filleted, gilt edges, silver clasps. 
 
 This is not only the finest Book of Hours, printed on vellum, in the present collection, but 
 it would be difficult to equal it anywhere. Only two other copies are recorded : one in the 
 Didot collection, the other in the library of St. G^nevidve in Paris. Both of these, however, lack 
 the last fourteen leaves, which are to be found in this copy. The vellum is especially good, the 
 printing unusual in its excellence, and the coloring is worthy of a miniaturist of the first class. 
 The Dance of Death, hunting scenes, and quaint conventional figures compose the borders. The 
 whole volume, in short, 'shows the greatest care and skill on the part both of the printer and 
 the artist. 
 
 It has the Calendar from 1508 to 1328.

 This is in many respects the most beautiful printed Book of Hours in the collection. The 
 designs are by Geofroy Tory, and are in his best style. Every page is surrounded by a 
 border, and there are thirteen full-page engravings. All of the capitals are printed in red. In 
 addition to this, the binding is an exceptionally fine and perfect example of.contemporaneous 
 workmanship. The book as a whole makes a bibliographical treasure such as any collector 
 counts himself happy to possess. 
 
 The whole inclosed in a morocco case, lined with velvet.

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

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

 2. vols, vn T., folio; PRINTED ON VELLUM, with exquisite borders, historiated initials, and 
 numerous capital letters all beautifully illuminated in. gold and colors, with the arms of a Cardinal in 
 the lower margin ; from the Beckford library, Hamilton Palace. Old French red morocco extra, leather 
 joints, silk linings, gilt edges, lettered " Manuscri." ^ 
 
 This, as an artistic monument, is equal to a fine illuminated MS. The borders and figures 
 and painted ornaments are extremely elegant, and include some work in fine camaieu-rouge. 
 Among the animal figures there is one of an elephant, and another of a bear walking off with a 
 man and his spear over his shoulder. There are MS. additions, evidently made for the Cardinal, 
 on the blank leaves of the book to supply certain offices not included in the original impression. 
 
 This Breviary on vellum is not excelled by any of the magnificent productions of Jenson's 
 pres5. The illuminations give it the appearance of one of the grand old Manuscript Breviaries. 
 The binder was evidently deceived by the resemblance when he stamped " Manuscri " on the 
 back of the volume.

 Only one other copy is known on vellum, namely, that in the National Library in Paris, and 
 this, which equals it in condition and beauty, is mentioned by Van Praet as formerly in the 
 library of the Mardchal de Richelieu. It can be called properly a grand work, measuring 
 sixteen by eleven inches, and is unexcelled in importance as a specimen of early Parisian print-

 Folio ; bound in red morocco extra, sides and back richly gilt, gilt edges. From the Beckford 
 Library. 1 
 
 This volume commands attention as the First Edition of the first known book 
 PRINTED IN Italy. It marks the beginning, therefore, of an era in the history of typography 
 second in importance only to that begun by the printing of the Gutenberg Bible. Taken all in _ 
 all, the work of the Italian printers stands unequaled, and is likely to remain so. 
 
 Two of Fust's workmen, Conrad Sweynheym and Arnold Pannartz, settled at the Mon- 
 astery of Subiaco, thirteen miles from Rome, and pubhshed this Lactantius in 1465. It is 
 printed with characters not before used in the printing press, and much like those found in the 
 ItaUan manuscripts of the period. Unhke the angular Gothic types, they were rounded in form, 
 and were the remote parents of those modern types which are to this day known among 
 
Cataiogue of ^^oofejef anb a^nuiscnptsf. 165 
 
 printers as Roman. Here are found also the first passages of Greek printed witli movable 
 types. It is an extremely regular and fine piece of printing, especially remarkable as a first 
 attempt in a new and foreign locality. It is illuminated throughout by hand, and has many 
 capital letters heightened by gold leaf laid on after the manner of ancient manuscripts. It con- 
 tains the Table and Errata, and is perfect in every respect. ' 
 
 This is a marked instance of the pains taken by the early printers to select notable books 
 for reproduction. Lactantius wrote in the early part of the fourth century, and from the relig- 
 ious character of his works and the finished elegance of his style he has been called the 
 " Christian Cicero."

 This book is most valuable for the particulars it contains of the cruelties committed by the 
 Spaniards in Peru, Mexico, and adjacent kingdoms of South America, from the year 1493, 
 when the Spaniards first commenced to inhabit the continent, almost to the date of the present 
 volume — cruelties carried on for such a length of time and with a pertinacity so remarkable as 
 to call forth even in those times a remonstrance against such inhuman barbarity. It is exces- 
 sively RARE.

 All bibliographers agree in the opinion that this is one of the Rarest Books in existence. 
 In the preface to the Ai.dine edition of 1494-9 V^^ 'i''St book printed at the celebrated Aldine 
 press) it is stated that, even at that time, " NO copies OF this edition could be pro- 
 cured, AFTER the most DILIGENT SEARCH." The famous Greek scholar, Dr. Charles 
 Burney, considered it " the most rare and valuable book in his collection." After the Doctor's 
 death it was estimated at ;^6oo, and purchased at this sum by the authorities of the British 
 Museum. Before the printing of this book, vacant spaces were usually left in books for the 
 insertion of the Greek passages with a pen. Demetrius Cretensis, so called from being ^ , 
 native of Crete, was of very important service in the editing of the first Greek books. Besides this 
 First Edition of Lascaris, he assisted Demetrius Chatxondylas in the Editio Princeps 
 of HbMER, published at Florence, 1488. He was afterwards employed by Cardinal Ximines 
 on the Complutensian Polyglot. The preface of Demetrius to this First Greek book is exceed- 
 ingly curious, and is addressed " Ingenuis Jludiojljimis adolefcetibus." The type is of a medium 
 size, resembling the manuscripts of those days, and has been followed in the first yEsop, the 
 first Lexicon of Johannes Crastonus, and the Florentine Homer of 1488.

 Sir William Talbot thinks " it is clear from this book, that the long-looked-for discovery of 
 the Indian Sea does nearly approach ; and that Carolina presumes that the accomplishment 
 of this glorious designe is reserved for her." Lederer, who was a German, traveled far into the 
 interior of Virginia, and imagined that he had nearly reached the shores of the great South 
 Sea. He made himself obnoxious to the people of Virginia, and sought refuge in Maryland, 
 where he was well received by Sir William Talbot, who, "finding him a modest and ingeni- 
 ous person and a pretty scholar, "■ says, " I thought it common Justice to give him an occasion 
 of vindicating himself from what I had heard of him ; which truly he did with so convincing 
 reason and circumstance, as quite abolished those former impressions in me, and made me 
 desire this account of his travels, which here you have faithfully rendered out of Latine from 
 his owne writings, with an entire map of the Territory he traversed." — Preface. 
 
 A copy at the Griswold sale in New York a few years since brought $315. 
 
 This is an uncut copy of this very rare book. The map is in exceptionally good con- 
 dition.

 This volume, like the preceding, contains the whole Bible, and is a wonderful specimen of 
 the patience and skill shown by the mediaeval monks. The fineness of the vellum would seem 
 to make impossible such diminutive chirography. But the letters are formed with the greatest 
 precision and, in spite of the lapse of centuries, are still in perfect preservation.

 Unique, original, and royal MANUSCRIPT in sumptuous binding. This num- 
 ber consists of a volume of a collection of ' ' Chansons et Motets' ' which was arranged for five, 
 six, and eight voices in Latin, French, Italian, and Dutch, with the music. It is written on 
 paper, and was executed for Henry II. of France and Diana of Poitiers. 
 The date, 1552, is inserted in a large ornamental capital at folio 145. 
 
 This volume, from the fineness of the design of its binding and the interest of its original 
 ownership, is one of the most important examples of its kind that has ever been offered for 
 sale. It brought at the sale of M. Leopold Double in 1863 five thousand two hundred and 
 fifty francs. In addition to its acquired historical interest, the book is of considerable importance 
 in itself in regard to the history of music, on account of its table of contents, which gives the 
 names of various French composers of the sixteenth century, among whom will be found: 
 Phil, de Wildre, Cresquillon, Ch. Chastelain, Ciprian de Rose, and Anthoine Gaily. 
 
 The heraldic "ex libris" of, the celebrated bibliophile, M. Double, will be found on the 
 front inside cover, where are the following MS. notes in his handwriting: " Voir la date de 1552, 
 page 14s, /. 97, hymne par Charles VIII., p. 75, 77, 82, 186 Clement Marot. p. 172, Diane i 
 Henri II., p. 187, Frangois /," 
 
 The marvelously beautiful and original French binding, of a semi-MaioIi, semi-Grolier 
 style, was doubtless designed for King Henry II. by " Le Petit Bernard." The sides and back 
 are painted and inlaid in colored enamels and leathers. Both sides are covered with green 
 floriated, conventional Gothic ornaments and an intersecting design in black and white, the 
 parallel lines of which are pointilU in the centers. The middle of the fore side has a large 
 heraldic and allegorical design of circular shape, in the center of which is a shield of the royal 
 arms of France, above which is a regal crown. Depending from the upper portion of the shield 
 are a collar of "SS" and cockle-shells, from which also hangs the jewel of the Order of St. 
 Louis. Amid sAver pointilU ornamentations are the monogram "H. D." interlaced, three 
 silver half-moons, a large crescent silver moon, allusive to the chaste goddess Diana, and the 
 24*

 king's initial " H " twice repeated. On the other side, in the middle of a circle and upon a 
 square scroll, is the word " Bassvs." The back is enameled in black and white, and tooled in 
 gilt. The design is lozenge-shaped, chequered. The edges are as fine a specimen of gauffered 
 work as can be found. It is a floriated and interlaced design, pmnHlli throughout. 
 
 This binding is reproduced in Joseph Cundall's "Bookbindings, Ancient and Modem." It 
 is there styled " Recueils de Chansons et Motetts, with the Arms and Monograms of Henry II. 
 and Diana of Poitiers. Binding of the Middle of the XVI. Century,' and is presented in 
 that authority as a representative example of a "Diane de Poitiers reliure." The eminent 
 bibliopegist writes: "Diana of Poitiers, the mistress of Henry II. of France, devoted much 
 attention to the binding of her books ; perhaps those executed for her are the finest speci- 
 mens ever produced; probably they were designed by 'Le Petit Bernard ' (Bernhard Salomon 
 of Lyons), who also made drawings for her jewels. They were usually engraved with a 
 bow and crescent, sometimes with an arrow rising from a tomb with the motto 'Sola vivit 
 in illo.' On the love offerings from the king an 'H' is worked in with a crown and fleur- 
 de-lis. The practice of inscribing mottos on books was very usual. There is a beautifiil book 
 mentioned in Dibdin's 'Decameron,' which was published by Aldus. It is bound in fine Italian 
 olive binding, with the device of a serpent entwining a ring and a motto, ' Scilicet es superis labor 
 est.' On many of Henry's own books are stamped and interwoven the initials ' H ' and ' D ' of 
 his own and mistress's names, with crescents, bows, quivers, and other symbols of the chase 
 appropriate to a lady bearing the name of Diana. (Many of the ornaments on the pottery 
 of Oiron known as Faience de Henri II. were evidently stamped with bookbinder's tools.) On 
 some of his books the ' H ' is interwoven with a ' C,' and in this case the latter initial is that of 
 his wife, Catherine de Medicis."

 This UNIQUE MANUSCRIPT was formerly in the collection of Cardinal Salviati. It 
 is a most interesting example of fifteenth century Italian work, and is in fine condition except 
 that the inner border of the title is mended and the first two leaves are slightly stained. 
 
 St. Jerome, known also in biography as " Eusebius Hieronymus Sophronius," was born on 
 the confines of Dalmatia, drca 331-345. He retired to the desert of Chalcis in 374, and 
 became a priest at Antioch four years later. For three years afterward he lived at Constantinople 
 in close intimacy with Gregory Nazianzus. In 382 St. Jerome came to Rome and acted as the 
 secretary of Pope Damasius, engaging in his great work of biblical revision. He was celebrated 
 chiefly for his Pelagian controversies, and died on September 30 in the year 420. Erasmus 
 edited his works. St. Jerome is " universally regarded as the most learned and eloquent of 
 the Latin Fathers."

 634 HOR-ffiPEMBROCHIAN.ffi.— AnlUuminated MANUSCRIPT ofthe jf^ Q ^'15' ** 
 Hours of the Blessed Virgin Mary.- Written for William Herbert, V ) / * 
 
 First Earl of Pembroke, about 1440, and enriched with 267 miniatures, besides cv'iijM ^ "^ 
 
 hundreds of capital letters in gold and colors, the whole written on 195 
 leaves of Vellum. 
 
 Folio ; bound in boards covered with red velvet, silver clasps and bosses engraved with scriptural 
 scenes after the manner of the Italian niello work. 
 
 The volume really consists of three parts. At the beginning are inserted twenty leaves of 
 vellum, on the first of which is emblazoned the coat-of-arms of William Herbert, Earl of 
 Pembroke. On the following leaf is a full-length portrait of the Earl, clad in silver armor,

 kneeling at a prie-dieu before an altar. The fifteen additional leaves bound up at the end of the 
 volume contain prayers in English, written in a bold Gothic character of the sixteenth century. 
 These prayers w6re written by Queen Catherine Parr, whose sister was the first wife of 
 William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, and who may have written them specially for the use 
 of her brother-in-law, the Earl. The margins of the Calendar contain many interesting entries, . 
 from which it is evident that the owner was a stout adherent of the Yorkists, as all the battles 
 chronicled theje are Lancastrian defeats. This would agree well with the ownership of the Earl 
 of Pembroke, who was a devoted adherent of the cause of the Duke of York, and who was 
 beheaded by the Lancastrians on the day following his defeat at Banbury in 1469. The Rose 
 of York is prominent in the decoration. 
 
 It is impossible to do justice to the merits of this volume by a verbal description. In the 
 opinion of the most competent living authorities on such matters the whole work was executed 
 in England. This adds greatly to its importance and value, owing to the rarity of English 
 manuscripts of this period. The chirography is most exact, the ink is lustrous, the drawing of 
 the miniatures is unusuaUy correct, and the colors are of exceptional brilliancy. Its condition, 
 moreover, is faultless. The binding alone has artistic merit sufficient to give the volume a 
 high standing. Taken all in all, it is unquestionably the most beautiful and important manu- 
 script of English execution outside of the British Museum. It ranks in the same class with the 
 Bedford and Grimani Missals and the Hours of Anne of Brittany. In beauty of work- 
 manship, and in fact in everything except historical associations, it far excels the Missal of 
 Charles VI. which sold for 76,000 francs at the sale of the Didot Collection. 
 
 It is remarkable both for breadth of design and minuteness of finish. The large full-page 
 painting on fol. 131 is of most admirable execution. It gives a conventional view of the, city 
 of Jerusalem, {ipd portrays three great events in the Passion of our Lord. In the center we see, 
 in a sort of open alcove, with steps leading up to it, Christ blindfolded and buffetted, the 
 figures of his eight tormentors being drawn with great skill. On the right, in another chamber 
 open to the street, is seen Pilate washing his hands ; six attendants stand around, and in the 
 street are four other spectators, who look into the hall with an anxious expression that is 
 depicted with marvelous skill. At the top of the page, on the greensward of a hill above the 
 buildings, we see the Crucifixion ; a group of six figures stand around the cross, two of them 
 being on horseback, and on the left St. John supports the Blessed Virgin, who is fainting. 
 .\ soldier pierces our Lord in the left side with a spear. In the distance is indicated a com- 
 pany of armed men. The whole is surrounded by a border composed of flowers and conven- 
 tional figures.

 it was made specially for, and was dedicated to, Louis XIV., and belonged

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

 " This edition of the first three Decades of Peter Martyr is little known even to the most 
 diligent bibliographers. Brunet mentions an edition of Madrid, 1516, as being noticed in the 
 catalogue of the College of Clermont, which is probably the same book as this, the dedication 
 of Charles V. being dated from Madrid, October, 1516." — Biiliotheca Grenmlliana. 
 
 This copy is complete, although it does not contain the sixteen folios of the " Legationis 
 Babylonicae " mentioned by Brunet as being bovmd with the Grenville copy. That they are 
 not an essential part of the book as originally published is shown by the " Finis " at the end of 
 the Third Decade and by the " Errata." The volume is exceedingly rare. Harrisse knew of 
 but two copies in this country.

 The First Edition of the Eight Decades. This volume ranks next in interest, value, 
 and rarity to the edition of 1511. It is admirably printed in Roman type, with engraved capi- 
 tals. Sometimes a map has been found at the end, but there is no reason to believe that it 
 appeared in the work as originally issued. Brunet makes no mention of it. The map referred 
 to is the same as that in the Solinus Camers of 1520, with the date changed to 1530. It has 
 some words in Dutch which indicate that it was not intended for pubhcation with this book. The 
 present jopy is perfect and in unexceptionable condition. It is excessively rare. Neither Field, 
 Menzies, Brinley, nor Barlow had a copy, and that in the Murphy Collection was not perfect.

 This copy agrees with that described in the Brinley Catalogue (No. 948) excepting the 
 transposition of the two parts and the absence of the title to '* A Brief History." Concerning 
 the rarity of the volume, Mr. J. H. Trumbull writes in that catalogue as follows : " No epithet 
 can be too strong to characterise the scarcity of the one intrmivable which so long escaped the 
 search of American collectors ; so rare, that Prince did not secure it for his New England 
 Library, though he could pick up half a dozen Bay Psalm Books ; so rare that S. G. Drake, 
 the most indefatigable and successful of collectors, could not find it for his reprint, in 1862, 
 and was obliged to copy even his title-page from the London edition ; and so rare that Mr. 
 Sabin himself, when noting the fact (in the Menzies Catalogue) that ' the New England edi- 
 tion is not mentioned by Lowndes, nor elsewhere, so far as we have been able to ascertain,' 
 makes the reluctant admission that 'perhaps no copy of it exists.' "

 ford. The First Edition. 
 
 This volume is divided into two parts. The first contains an account of King in Latin 
 printed in capitals, supposed by some to have been written by Milton, and Latin and Greek 
 tributes. The second part contains the English tributes, and is separated from the iirst by a 
 distinct title surrounded by heavy black borders: "Obsequies to | the memorie | of | Mr. 
 Edward | King, | Anno Dom. | 1638. | Printed by Th. Buck and R. Daniel, | printers to the 
 Universitie of | Cambridge. 1638. 
 
 ••Lycidas" comes last in order, and fittingly crowns this remarkable collection of elegies. 
 It is not signed in full, but bears the initials of Mii.TON. It is the first edition of this celebrated 
 composition, and is extremely rare. A copy brought at Sotheby's, in 1881, £6%. It is beUeved 
 that no copy has since been offered at public sale. 
 
 This copy is complete in every way, and is in absolutely perfect condition.

 This book is one of those commonly referred to as " the comer-stone " of the early history 
 of New England, and its accurate and fiill accotmt of transactions there from 1620 to 1668 
 justify its claim to that title. It is excessively rare. The present volume is perfect and in 
 remarkably brilliant condition.

 Mourt's "Relation" is another of those books usually catalogued as "the chief corner- 
 stone " of a library of Americana, and as it is one of the earliest accounts of New England 
 history it is not easy to overestimate its importance. But its value is not greater than the 
 difficulty of procuring the book in good condition. It was evidently very popular at the time 
 of its publication, and received careless usage. Not one thoroughly good copy has been 
 offered for sale here, either at auction or by dealers, for twenty years. The present is an 
 unusually clean copy, but the top of the title-page has been cut so close as to eliminate the 
 initial "A."

 "Thomas Muhner, a learned Minorite friar of the order of St. Francis who flourished at 
 the commencement of the sixteenth century, and being engaged in teaching philosophy, first 
 at Cracovia, and afterwards at Friburg, perceived that his young pupils were disgusted with 
 the formalities of a treatise of Logic which was placed in their hands to teach them the terms 
 of dialectic science. He imagined a new method of exciting their attention by composing one 
 himself, in the manner of a Game at Cards, which, in the form of a pleasing recreation, engaged 
 them to pursue the subject, and insensibly surmount the difficulties of this dry and repulsive 
 study. So successful were his endeavours, that the extraordinary and rapid progress of his 
 scholars caused him at first to be suspected as a magician ; and, to justify himself, he was 
 obliged to produce his new invented game, and demonstrate to the rectors of the University 
 the means by which such wonders were effected, who not only highly approved, but applauded 
 his invention, and admired it, as something more than human. This game, according to Menes- 
 trier, was composed of 52 cards on which were depicted Bells, Crabs, Fish, Acorns, Scorpions, 
 Turbans, Hearts, Swallows, Suns, Stars, Pigeons, Crescents, Cats, Shields, Crowns, and Ser- 
 pents; but in what manner these objects were applied to the inculcation of logical rules and 
 dialectic terms, we shall not attempt to describe.' The success and popularity of this book 
 gave rise at a future period to numerous applications of Cards for purposes of instruction; that 
 Murner's attempt was the model upon which all subsequent ones were founded, cannot be 
 doubted, and the number of games which were published in the commencement of the seven- 
 teenth century is astonishing. We have seen the attempt renewed in our own times, and there 
 is scarcely a branch of juvenile education which has not been thus treated." — Marchand, 
 "Diet. Historiquc," ART. MuRNEP. Singer, "Researches into the History of Playing Cards," 
 pp. 216-17.

 This is the First Edition of this book, which has held for centuries a prominent place in 
 classical literature. Aside from its Uterary merit, the present copy has an especial charm for the 
 lover of excellent typography. The paper is an unusually good specimen of the work of the 
 fifteenth century, and is as fresh and free from stain as if it had been made within a few years. 
 The ink is lustrous, the registry perfect, and the margins wide. The capital letters are, as 
 usual, painted by hand. fivA the most»attractive feature of the book is, perhaps, the first page. 
 This has been illuminated most beautifully in water-color, by an Italian artist. At the bottom 
 of the page is a spirited picture of a battle between ancient galleys propelled by oars. This, 
 like the remainder of the book, is in perfect preservation. 
 From the hbraries of Sir M. Sykes and M. WodhuU.

 The ftRST Edition of Oviedo's " General and Natural History of the Indies," printed at 
 Seville in IS3S- Oviedo lived on this continent upwards of thirty-four years, and crossed the 
 Atlantic not less than twelve times, chiefly on missions to lay the grievances of the colonies, or 
 his own, before the Spanish Court. He was Governor of the Province of Carthagena, and 
 filled other high positions. His intimate personal knowledge of men and events makes his 
 history interesting and of the greatest importance. This volume'is complete in itself, although 
 it comprises only the first part of the history, which was continued subsequently. The present 
 copy is perfect, and is in fine condition, excepting that a few leaves have been mended. The 
 work is, however, excessively rare in any state.

 The First Edition. It is the first book in which numbers instead of letters were used to 
 designate signatures. Another variation from custom is found in the numbering of the pages. 
 All of the figures are printed on the right of the page, making the even numbers come close to 
 the inside margin while the odd numbers are on the outside. This copy is perfect and in 
 excellent condition.

 The First Edition of Plato's works, and one of the most beautiful and important pro-

 ander VI. and Julius II. This copy is ruled throughout in red, and is perfect and in irre-

 Of this, the Fikst Edition of Pliny's Natural History, Dibdin writes : " There are few 
 productions of ancient printing more interesting than the present one ; whether we consider 
 the magnificence of its execution, the importance of the publication, or the interest excited by 
 the printer of it. " John de Spira published but three works, of which this is the second. It is 
 a noble volum'e of about 700 pages, and according to the testimony of the printer's brother it 
 , was executed within the almost incredibly short time of three months. The same authority 
 states that only one hundred copies were struck off. 
 
 Blank spaces are left for the passages in Greek to be written in by hand, but in some 
 places the Greek is printed in Roman letter, as in the following curious example, which will 
 be found on the verso of the 79th leaf, Book Vlth, fifth line from the bottom : 
 
 " Xaxilipcui carnece comai coe kpturae trata tma ciezica." 
 
 The present copy is perfect and in unexceptionable condition. The capital letters throughout 
 are put in by hand. The initial letters of the several books are beautifully illuminated in gold 
 and colors, that on the first page being ^% inches by 3 inches in dimension. It is from the 
 Syston Park Library.

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

 " The manner in which it is executed by the printer is equal to the singularity of its contents ; 
 and it is rarely that we see a more elegant specimen of the roman type of Ratdolt. Indeed,

 of execution, that which the printer of this volume may fairly boast to have produced." — Dib-

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

 "The ' History of Reynard the Fox' is one of the earliest and best specimens of satirical 
 romance in the literature of modern Europe. It is admired in youth, and relished in age. The 
 characters are drawn with great discrimination, and sustained with equal spirit; the satires on 
 tyranny, roguery, superstition, and hypocrisy are powerful and pointed. Antiquarians have not 
 settled the precise age or country to which the work belongs, but there is an individuality in 
 the portraits which forces us to believe that they must be resemblances, though we are not 
 acquainted with the originals."— Dr. W. C. Taylor, Essay on Satirical Fiction, p. 54.

 1 The foregoing nine volumes are all, with the exception of Vols. I. and H. of "Modem 
 
 Painters," First Editions. As those volumes have no illustrations, the later editions of them, 
 containing the author's revisions, are generally regarded as the more desirable. They were 
 selected carefully many years ago, and are in the finest possible condition. The impressions 
 of the beautiful drawings of Ruskin and Turner are delicate and brilliant, and, that they 
 may be seen to better advantage, the plates are mounted on guards. Notwithstanding the 
 vagaries of Ruskin's later days, these volumes, written in his prime, will remain as a lasting 
 proof of his wonderful genius. No other author of the century has written of nature and 
 art with so much enthusiasm and intelligence, and at the same time illustrated his work 
 with such exquisite drawings by his own hand. The binding is an excellent example of 
 Zaehnsdorf s work in his best days, and the volumes are throughout in the finest possible 
 condition.

 This book contains 108 leaves in Roman letters, without marks, having 27 lines to a full 
 page. It is believed to be the third book printed in Spain, and the first book issued 
 IN octavo form from any press. Its rarity is such that Brunei could cite but two copies. 
 It is not in Lord Spencer's library. It measures 8J^ x z% in. As a specimen of typographical 
 skill it is not remarkable, and does not compare favorably with the work of the early Italian 
 printers. It capie from the Sunderland Library, Blenheim Palace, and is perfect and in good

 ■■SAYBROOK PLATFORM." 
 
 " In 1709, this town was honoured by a convention of contending independent divines, who 
 were pleased with no constitution in church or state. This multitude of sectarians, after long 
 debates, published a book, called, ' The Saybrook Platform,' containing the doctrines and rules 
 of the churches in Connecticut. The only novelty in this system is, that Christ has delegated 
 his ministerial, kingly, and prophetical power, one half to the people and the other half to^he 
 ministers. This proposition may be thought in Europe a very strange one ; but if it be 
 recollected that the people in the province claimed all power in heaven and on earth, and 
 that the ministers had no other ordination than what came from the people, it will appear that 
 the ministers hereby gained from the people one half of their power. From this article origi- 
 nated the practice of the right hand of fellowship at the ordination of a minister. No one can be 
 a minister till he receives the right hand of the messenger who represents six deacons from six 
 congregations. The conclusion of this reverend and venerable body is, ' The Bible is our 
 rule.' " — See Peters's '■ General Hist, of Connecticut," Lond. 1781, 8°; pp. 142-3. 
 
 " Previous to 1708, the ' Cambridge Platform' had been the general plan of church fellowship 
 and discipline in New England. Divers opinions had long existed as to the policy and efficacy 
 of some of its provisions and omissions. In obedience to repeated requests and memorials, 
 the Legislature, at their May session, 1708, passed an act requiring the ministers and churches 
 of Connecticut to meet and form an ecclesiastical constitution. They accordingly assembled 
 
Catdogiie of ^oohier anti £t^nu$fcn$itj6f. 
 
 253 
 
 at Saybrook, on the gth day of September, 1708, and after due deliberation adopted the cele- 
 brated ' Sayirook Platform,' together with a confession of faith. A uniform standard of faith 
 and action being thus agreed upon, a period of harmony and good feeling followed, such as 
 had not been before experienced for many years." — HOLLISTER, "Hist, of Conn." Vol. I.,

 The Earthquake is thus described by Prince in the Preface to his Sermons : "On the 
 night after the Lord's Day, Octob. 29, about 40 Minutes pall X, in a calm & serene Hour, 
 the Town of BOSTON was on a sudden extreamely surpriz'd with the most violent Shock of an 
 Earthquake that has been known among us. It came on with a loud hollow Noise like the 
 Roaring of a Great fired Chimney, but incomparably more fierce & terrible. In about half 
 a minute the Earth began to heave and tremble. The Shock increasing, rose to the Hight in 
 about a minute more, when the Moveables, Doors, Windows, Walls, especially in the upper 
 Chambers, made a very fearful Clattering, and the Houses rock'd & crackl'd, as if they were 
 all dissolving and falling to pieces. The people asleep were awakened with the greatest aston- 
 ishment : many others affrighted run into the Streets for Safety. But the Shaking quickly 
 abated, and in another half Minute intirely ceased. 
 
 "The Noise & Shakes seem'd to come from the Northwestward, and to go off South- 
 easterly ; and so the Houses seemed to reel. Some Damage was done to the more brittle sort 
 of Moveables, and some Bricks on the Tops of some Chimneys fell ; but not an House was 
 broken, nor a Creature hurt. At several times till Day-light, were heard some distant Rum ■ 
 blings, and some fainter Shocks were felt: But since, the Earth has been quiet in Town, tho' 
 the minds of many continue very greatly & justly affected."

 short time the edition of 1609. The title-pages have the same words The fact that this ends 
 on L4, and that of 1609 on M2, would seem to indicate that this is the earlier edition, as the ten- 
 dency was to "augment" the volumes. The present was Utterson's copy, which is mentioned 
 by Lowndes. Mr. Dyce says this edition contains some important various readings.

 The preface contains the words, " for so much as will make you thinke your testerne well 
 bestowd," which Lowndes regards as proof that these quartos were issued originally at the 
 price of a " tester," or sixpence. Like all of the First Editions, it is exceedingly rare.

 The Second Edition. This volume is not unlikely to be to the admirers of Shakespeare 
 the most interesting of all the quartos. It presents the play in a form which differs greatly 
 from that of succeeding editions. As it now stands it appeared first in the folio in 1623. The 
 copy in the folio contains nearly twice the number of lines that are to be found in the quarto. 
 
 The condition of the volume is most rare and attractive. It is just as originally published, 
 and is large, clean, and perfect.

 This, like all the quartos which appeared before the first folio, is interesting as showing the 
 various readings. These are more numerous than is generally supposed. The first line of the 
 play in this edition reads, " Now is the winter of discontent," instead of" Now is the winter of 
 our discontent," as in the folio. So on the next page " good fathers " appears for '' God- 
 fathers." Similar variations occur frequently.

 Folio; bound in crimson morocco extra, by Bedford. 
 
 The First Edition, containing thirty-six plays, seventeen of which appeared here for the 
 first time. The increasing estimation in which this volume is held by the public is shown by 
 its steady and rapid advance in price. It was published at one pound sterling, but several copies 
 have brought within a few years from $4000 to $6000, and the demand seems to be always in 
 excess of the supply The portrait by Droeshout and the verses by Ben. Jonson appeared 
 first in this edition and subsequently in those published in 1632, 1664, and 1685. To find both 
 of them in as good state as they are here is rare, even in the most expensive copies. The verses 
 are as follows : 
 
 To THE Reader. 
 
 This Figure, that thou here seest put. 
 
 It was for gentle Shakespeare cut ; 
 
 Wherein the Grauer had a strife 
 
 With Nature, to out-doo the life: 
 
 O, could he but have drawne his wit 
 
 As well in brasse, as he hath hit 
 
 His face ; the Print would then surpasse 
 
 All, that was euer writ in brasse. 
 
 But, since he cannot. Reader, looke 
 
 Not on his Picture, but his Booke. B. I. 
 The present copy measures 12-]^ by 7|| inches. It is perfect and in excellent condition. 
 The collation conforms iii every respect to that given in Lowndes' Manual, except that the 
 preliminary leaves are differently arranged.

 There are at least six variations of the title-page of this the Second Edition. One copy 
 is known in which the word is spelt Coppies. There were several proprietors of this edition, and 
 each seems to have had a tide printed with his own name. The text is regarded as valuable 
 on account of its various readings, the editorial care bestowed on it, and the correction' of some 
 of the more palpable typographical errors of the first folio. 
 
 This copy is perfect and in fine condition, with the exceptions that the verses are inlaid and 
 the margins of the title and last leaf are mended. The collation conforms in every respect to 
 that given by Lowndes. The volume measures 12^ by 8J^ inches.

 A portrait of Shakespeare, signed "W. M. sculpsit" (W. Marshall), faces the first title-page. 
 A second title-page forms the fifth leaf. The omission of the date on the second title is the 
 only difference between the two. On L2 commences a head title: "An addition of some 
 Excellent Poems, to those precedent, of Renowned Shakespeare, By other Gentlemen." 
 
 The impression of the portrait is brilliant, and the condition of the volume generally is such 
 as to please the most fastidious taste. Its rarity in this form is excessive. , f ., ^

 Of the seven additional plays which appeared for the first time in this the Third Edition, 
 only one, " Pericles," has been retained, all the others being regarded as spurious. 
 
 On the fly-leaf is the following note : 'This copy of the third (and very rare) edition of our 
 great dramatic Poet, formerly belonged to John Kemble, Esq., and was purchased by me at 
 the sale of his books in 1820-21, for the sum of eight guineas, it then wanting the portrait, 
 which I have since supplied." — E. V. U(tterson). But this portrait, according to Lowndes, 
 belongs to the Fourth instead of the Third Edition. The principal difference is that Shake- 
 speare is spelled with the final e in the latter and without it in the former. With this exception, 
 and that of the skillful mending of the title-page, the present volume is perfect, and in fine, 
 clean condition. It measures I2f| by 8Ji inches. It is from the libraries of John Philip Kem- 
 ble, E. V. Utterson, and Sir Wm. Tite. In point of rarity it ranks next to the First Edition.

 Folio ; houjidin crimson morocco extra, by Bedford. 
 
 In this, the Fourth Edition, the original portrait was used, after having been retouched. 
 In-this state the shading on the left of the forehead is expressed by crossed lines which bend 
 outwards, while in the original plate the lines curve inwards and are not crossed. Moreover, 
 in the repaired state the hair is crossed instead of being, as in the original, in single lines. 
 
 This copy is perfect, and is exceptionally clean and tall, measuring 13^ by 85^ inches. 
 
 The four folios above described possess an unusual attraction in their binding. They are 
 bound uniformly in full crimson crushed levant morocco, the sides and backs richly decorated 
 with small tools, with inside panels of green morocco, tooled in a dentelle pattern of excep- 
 tional beauty, double fly-leaves, gilt edges. 'Each volume has a case of olive morocco, 
 lettered. The volumes were given to Mr. Bedford with instructions to spare neither time, 
 trouble, nor money in putting them into the best possible condition. The amount of his bill 
 was such as to justify the belief that he had taken full advantage of the liberty thus conferred. 
 Certainly it would be difficult to find examples of his binding which would excel these in beauty 
 of design or perfection of finisti.

 issued in 1469. It is iilteresting, among other things, as being the first book printed with 
 catchwords. There are numerous marginal notes, written evidently by a scholar. The book 
 is perfect, including even the blank leaves, and is in brilliant condition. All of the initial letters

 This RARE pamphlet contains some very unpleasant particulars of the scandalous conduct 
 of the Rev. John Wesley during his apostolic mission in Savannah. According to these 
 gentlemen, " He was indicted before a Grand Jury of Forty-Four Free-holders, and Thirteen 
 Indictments were found against-him ; one concerned Mr. Williamson and his Spouse." Mr. 
 Wesley, it appears, undertook to "pour the leperous distilment" into the ear of this vir- 
 tuous lady, to the effect that "her husband had no right to regulate her behaviour as to 
 conversing with him." However, as soon as the distinguished apostle heard that these 
 indictments had been found against him, he did not tarry to discuss the question further, 
 but bolted out of the town in the night, fled to Charles-Town, and thence to England. See 
 pages 41, 2, 3, and 48.

 This is the First Edition of the greater part of the works contained in it. Although the 
 book is really divided into two parts, the second of which contains the works of Hesiod, it was 
 pubUshed as one volume and is perfect only when in, that condition. A portion of the works 
 both of Theocritus and Hesiod appeared in a volume which is generally believed to have been 
 printed at Milan in 1493. It contained but eighteen of the eclogues, whereas this edition has 
 thirty. This also has the entire works of Hesiod. There were two issues of this edition, of 
 which the present copy belongs to the first. Dibdin gives a minute account of the variations. 
 This copy is a beautiful specimen of printing, having large outline headbands and capitals, and 
 extra wide margins. It is perfect and in excellent condition.

 This is the First Edition in this form of a book which has been held in high esteem for 
 three hundred years. It contains 507 full-length figures engraved on wood, representing the 
 costumes of men and women from all parts of the world. It has been mentioned usually as 
 " Titian's book,'' owing, probably, to the fact that the author was a nephew of Titian, to 
 whom were attributed the designs of the engravings. The costumes of the aborigines of 
 America are given on pp. 488-507.

 A volume of EXTREME RARITY. 
 
 Of the seven early editions known of the Cosco translation of this celebrated Letter of 
 Columbus, only two bear a date. The first part of the work is simply a drama on the capture 
 of Granada from the Moors by Ferdinand. 
 
 THE VOYAGES OF AMERICUS VESPUCIUS. 
 
 Four voyages are ascribed to Vespucius. The first two were made in 1497 and 1499, in 
 behalf of the King of Spain. The third and fourth were undertaken in 1501 and 1503 for the 
 King of Portugal. He was not the author of the accounts of his voyages which have been 
 transmitted to us ; a fact which, probably, explains the existence of the many conflicting state- 
 ments made in and concerning them. The preponderance of evidence seems to indicate that 
 he landed on the shores of this continent a short time before the Cabots, and a year or m'ore 
 before Columbus. There is no proof that he is directly responsible for the giving of his name 
 to the continent. The second and third voyages alone have been printed separately in the 
 form of plaquettes, all within the first eight years of the sixteenth century. Four of these are 
 described in the numbers immediately following. They are all of the greatest rarity. These 
 copies are perfect and in beautiful condition. 
 
 They came from the Barlow Collection.

 Harrisse says, in a note accompanying the volume, that he found it in the library of 
 S. Marco, in Venice, in 1867 ; that he had never seen a copy before ; that he bought it after 
 much negotiation | that the only other copies were in the Trivulzio Library in Milan and the 
 Imperial Library of Vienna ; that it was not in the British Museum, and that it was not 
 described in the B. A. V. But there is no doubt that it is described, nevertheless, in the 
 B. A. v., No. 30. The description there given is copied by Harrisse from the " Serapeum " 
 for January, 1861, and is exceedingly minute. It corresponds exactly with the collation of this 
 volume, excepting that the title is printed in one line instead of two. A glance at the B. A. V. 
 will be enough to convince any one that no attempt was made to copy the description line for 
 line. It is, perhaps, more rare and valuable than any other of the series.

 EXCESSIVELY RARE. The title and last leaf of table in facsimile. The volume con- 
 tains an original account of the first three voyages of Columbus and of Vespucius's third voy- 
 ages written by himself and first published in Latin in the year 1504, the only voyage made 
 by him of which there is any account coming from his hands, unless that of the four voyages in 
 the COSMOGRAPHI.2E INTRODUCTIO, also published in 1507, be considered, as it claims to be, 
 his work. Vasco da Gama's first voyage, the voyage of Cabral, and Pasqualigi's account of 
 Caspar Cortereal's first voyage are also found in this the first collection of voyages extant. 
 
 The work was republished in 1519 and 1521. The latter edition is said to have some additions.

 The First Edition. The author of this volume was Waldsee-MuUer, or as he chose to 
 call himself, putting his name into Greek form, Hylacomylus. With him originated the idea 
 of calling this continent America. The suggestion appears on the verso of the fifteenth leaf. 
 As his book was very popular, his proposition soon became widelyJcnown and was favorably 
 received. The book is as rare as it is important. This copy is perfect in every respect 
 and is in beautiful condition. B. A. V., No. 45.

 The Second Edition. The printer's mark and surrounding words are the same as in 
 the May edition, except that " September " is substituted for " May." The subject matter is 
 the same in both editions. They are of equal rarity. The title-page of this copy has been 
 slightly torn and mended. Otherwise it is an even finer copy than the First Edition. The 
 margins are wider, and many of the initial letters are colored by hand. B. A. V., No. 46.

 Folio ; bound in old red morocco, with ornamental gilt borders, gilt edges. 
 The First Edition with a date, and, according to De Bure and Crevenna, absolutely 
 the first edition of the works of Virgil. 
 
 It begins with the well known hnes of the Eclogues : 
 
 T 
 
 ITYRE. TV PATVLAE 
 recubans sub tegmine fagi 
 Silueflrem tenui mufam 
 meditaris auena. 
 
 Then follow the Georgics and the .iEneid, the whole occupying i6i leaves, with 41 lines to 
 a full page. There are, in addition, 4 blank leaves. It is printed on vellum of fine quality, 
 and has all the marks of care which the early Italian printers bestowed on notable books. 
 The first page is decorated with a border of uncommon beauty, in which figures and ara- 
 besque ornament are combined. The lower part of this page shows the effect of careless hand- 
 ling. The introductory lines of the several poems are laid on in gold, and the initial letters 
 are illuminated in gold and colors — all being perfectly fresh and brilliant. The pages measure 
 13 X 9J4 inches, and the side margins are 3^ inches wide. 
 
 Taking all things into consideration, this book should rank next in importance in this col- 
 lection to the Gutenberg Bible. It is even more rare than that, there being only about 
 seventeen copies known, including those on vellum and paper. It is not strange that Vindelin 
 felt the pride shown in the colophon above quoted. To have printed the first edition op 
 THE first printed EPIC was no small honor. It preceded the first edition of Homer by 
 eighteen years. These three books — the Gut^berg Bible, the Virgil of 1470, and the Homer 
 of 1488 — will command forever the admiration and respect of educated people as the worthy 
 objects of the highest form of skillful and conscientious typographical work.

 8° ; bound in dark green morocco, fillets on sides, gilt edges, by C. Kalthoeber. 
 
 This volume is remarkable as being the first printed with that Italic type which Aldus and 
 his successors used so generally, and which is still known by that name. It was engraved 
 by Fran9ois de Bologna, as i.'s shown by these verses at the foot of the Preface : 
 
 . IN GRAMMATOGLYPTAE 
 
 LAVDEM. 
 
 Qui graiis dedit Aldus, en Larinis 
 
 Dat nunc grammata scalpta daedaleis 
 
 Francisci manibus Bononiensis. 
 
 This volume Is Excessively Rare. It is conspicuous by its absence fi-om Lord 
 Spencer's Library, and neither Mr. Beckford nor the Duke of Hamilton could obtain a copy 
 even in tolerable condition. The present copy is perfect and complete.

 mented with inlaid leather of various colors, doubU with blue morocco tooled after a similar pattern,

 While this is an ancient and excellent edition of the works of Virgil, it is not unlikely that 
 the volume will be chiefly attractive to amateurs on account of its binding. It is the most 
 elaborate specimen of modern binding in the collection, and can hardly be excelled in bril- 
 liant beauty. The work was done some years ago by the elder LoRTic when in his prime, 
 and was regarded by him as one of his chefs d'oeuvres.

 It contains a portrait of De Vries by Vischer, fronting the title-page, a coat-of-arms on the 
 verso of the title, and many copperplates, all in perfect condition. It is a complete and unusu- 
 ally fine copy of a work which is valued highly for its original information. Besides Hudson , no 
 navigator except De Vries published a narrative of his voyages to New Netherland during the 
 Dutch possession. The Hon. Henry C. Murphy translated that portion of the work which re- 
 lates to America, and in his introduction says of De Vries: 
 
 ' ' His narratives, where he speaks from personal knowledge, are entitled to the highest credit, 
 for not only do they bear internal evidence of truth, but they have been corroborated in many 
 instances by other evidence, and by the records which we have; and being his daily observa- 
 tions, taken down at the time, they have from this circumstance a value which no narrative 
 formed from memory could possess. . . . His relation of the disgraceful and disastrous Indian 
 war, in which he was an actor and friend of the Indians, is the only authentic one extant, of 
 any completeness, except that of the government, and is, therefore, of great interest and 
 value."

 volumes hitherto commonly known as the only edition of Walpole's Letters. 
 
 III. The publication for the first time of 117 Letters written by Horace Walpole, many in his 
 
 best mood, all illustrative of Walpole's period ; while others reveal matter of moment 
 connected with the man himself. 
 
 IV. The introduction, for Vat first time into "any collection of Walpole's Letters, of 35 letters 
 
 hitherto scattered over many printed books and papers.

 Dibdin says that perfect copies of this impression are of extreme rarity. This copy is from

 This copy of the Institutes of Justinian, printed on vellum by Jacob Rubeis, is said to be 
 UNIQUE. It is the Pinelli copy, which fetched ^^36 in 1789. It is a beautiful example of typo- 
 graphical work and is in irreproachable condition. The first page of the text is illuminated 
 with a briUiant miniature, and the capital letters are of the highest order of merit.

 4 1 f/^- ' that the printer appreciated the value of the material intrusted to him, and that he strove to put 
 
 1/' it into an appropriate form. Ulric Han was one of the first to estabhsh a press at Rome, and 
 
 he issued many notable works ; but the Lives of Plutarch are not excelled by any of them in 
 beauty and grandeur. In the case of the present volumes the labor of the printer was fittingly 
 supplemented by that of the illuminator. The first page of each volume is ornamented with a 
 beautiful border and initial letter in gold and colors. Taken all in all they are superb books 
 and worthy of admiration in every respect.

 One of two perfect copies known, the other being in the British Museum. The 
 latter copy, although described by Lowndes as a fine one, is declared by Mr. Justin Winsor 
 in his Bibliography to be badly stained and soi\ed and to have a few leaves mended. The 
 present copy, with the exception of a slight mend on the title-page, may be described as 
 absolutely perfect. There are, from the date of the first edition in 1593 to 1636 inclusive, 
 of all the editions combined, but thirty perfect examples. Most of these' are in libraries from 
 which they can never be sold, so that the collector can have little hope of ever procuring a copy. 
 
 Aside from its rarity, this book has an additional interest from the fact that it is supposed 
 to be the first printed publication from Shakespeare's pen, as is indicated in the dedication which 
 is as follows : 
 
 "To the Right Honourable, Henry Wriothesly Earle of Sovthamptbn and Baron of Tich- 
 field. 
 
 Right Honourable, I know not how I shall offend in dedicating my unpolishd lines to your 
 Lordship, nor how the world will censure me for chusing so strong a prop to support so weake 
 a burthen ; onely if your Honour seeme but pleased, I account my selfe highly praised, and 
 
qi^M^ 
 
 vow to take aduantage of all idle houres, till I have honoured you with some grauer labour. 
 But if the first heire of my inuention proue deformed, I shall be sorry it had so noble a God- 
 Father, and neuer after eare so barren a land, for feare it yeeld me still so bad a haruest. I 
 leaue it to your honourable Suruey, and your Honour to your hearts content ; which I wish 
 may alwaies answer your owne wish, and the Worlds hopeful expectation. 
 
 " Your Honours in all dutie, 
 
 "William Shakespeare."

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

 The Swedish Colony and Mission on the Delaware, planted in 1638, under Oxenstiern, 
 wrested by Stuyvesant of Manhattan and annexed to New Nederland in 1655, and swallowed 
 up by the English in 1664, together with the other Dutch possessions in America, was never 
 really abandoned or forgotten by the parent state till 1791, when it had become permanently 
 provided for and protested as part of the great republic of the United States. The best 
 history of it is this by ACRELIUS, born in 1714, died 1800, who wrote first-hand, having been 
 provost over its three churches, and rector of the old Swedish church at Wilmington for seven 
 years, 1749-1756. Besides his own collections and experience, he seems to have used judi- 
 ciously all previous authors who had touched or written on the same subject.

 Large ^to (12^ by g^ inches}, in contemporary binding of red leather on wooden boards and

 UNIQUE, SUPERB FIFTEENTH CENTURY manuscript, originally from the Salviati and 
 Tocca libraries. It is very slightly wormed on a few pages at the end. The old binding is 
 naturally somewhat rubbed and a portion of one side has been slightly damaged by water. 
 
 Gregory the Great, a father and saint of the Catholic Church, is here exhibited in lovely 
 script and careful fifteenth century reliure, well becoming this celebrated sixth century Pon- 
 tiff, who brought Britain within the pale of Christianity. The works of Gregory fill four foUo 
 volumes, and the above is the best known of the Saint of whom it has been written ; "he de- 
 voted himself altogether to God."

 THE EXCESSIVELY RARE FIRST EDITION of Molina's invaluable Vocabulary, 
 of which the EXISTENCE WAS doubted by Ludewig and Brunet. A large and fine copy, 
 the page measuring 7?^ x 5^ inches, and the excellence of the impression not impaired by 
 some slight water stains on the margin of portions of the volume, which has never been 
 touched by a cleaner. fTitle-page in excellent facsimile in red and black. With the seven 
 preliminary leaves. The above was lot 5771 of the Brinley Library, and was purchased at 
 that sale for $315. 
 
 The author, a native of Spain, was taken in early life to Mexico, about the year 1523, where 
 he soon learned the Mexican language, and even as a child he acted as interpreter between 
 the first missionaries and the native Indians. He afterward devoted his life to the propaga- 
 tion of useful knowledge in the Mexican language, and his known works bear testimony to 
 his great zeal. 
 
 Bernard Quaritch, in February, 1879, priced a copy which had the title and prehminary 
 leaves in facsimile at ^£^72, with a note that — ' ' only five other copies are believed to be ex- 
 tant ; all of them imperfect," 
 
 The " Bibhotheca Mejicana" catalogue of Puttick & Simpson, London, thus speaks in 
 1869 of an imperfect copy — i. e., lot 1150 of that sale: " Of excessive rarity. Although 
 mentioned by Brunet, he does not appear to have seen this edition. Until the last few years 
 the folio Vocabulario of 1561 was the only edition known, and WAS QUOTED as being the 
 
 EARLIEST SPECIMEN OF PRINTING EXECUTED IN THE NeW WORLD. A COpy SOld by 
 
 US December isth, 1871 (Count Mondidier's Library, lot 1908) produced ;^5o. At that time 
 it was the only copy known, its very existence having been doubted by bibliographers. A copy 
 sold recently at Leipsic, extending to folio 250 only, and with the title and last leaf in fac- 
 simile, produced the same sum : and a third copy, also with facsimile title (these three being 
 all the copies of which we have any note), produced nearly £60." 
 
 " C'est encore de nos jours le seul livre avec lequel on puisse ^tudier avec fruit la langue

 This collection embraces 161 engravings on copper, and forms the second series of the 
 Mus^e Fran9ais ; but, according to Brunet, it received even more care in its preparation. 
 
 These volumes in connection with the Mus^e Franfais form a collection of engravings on 
 copper, which for beauty and variety of subjects and skill of execution have never been 
 excelled. The originals have been scattered, in many instances, and .this is the only record 
 of the collection as it primarily existed. Perfect condition.

 Dibdin describes this edition as " beautiful and magnificent." The text begins on folio 20 
 preceded by a title in capital letters. Bibliographers generally have not failed to describe in 
 glowing language the beauty of this impression, which is the chef d'ceuvre of the artist who 
 executed it. The present volume is from the Hopetoun Library and is in every respect a fine 
 copy.

 is possible this work is from his press. The first leaf has an illuminated letter, with border ex- 
 tending around the top and side of the pages. The book is in unusually fine condition through- 
 out, except that the lower part of the first leaf has been remargined. From the Hopetoun
