Tl All his lifetime Dr. Johnson had a voracious attachment for a leg of mutton. " At my aunt Ford's," says he, " I ate so much of a boiled leg of mutton, that she used to talk of it. My mother, who was affected by little things, told me seriously that it would hardly ever be forgotten." Dryden, writing in 1699 to a lady, declining her invitation to a handsome supper, says: "If. beggars might be choosers, a chine of honest bacon would please my appetite more than all the marrow-pud- dings, for I like them better plain, having a very vulgar stomach." Dr. George Fordyce contended that as one raeal a day was enough for a lion, it ought to suffice for a man. Accordingly, for more than twenty years, the Doctor used to eat only a dinner in the whole course of the day. This solitary meal he took regularly at 4 o'clock, at Dolly's chow house. A pound and a half of rump steak, Haifa boiled chicken, a plate offish, a bottle of port, a quarter of a pint of brandy, and a tankard of strong ale, satisfied the doctor's moderate wants till four o'clock next day, and regularly engaged one hour and a half of his time. Dinner over, he returned to his home in Essex street, Strand, to deliver his six o'clock lecture on anatomy and chemistry. ' Baron MaseraS, who lived nearly to the age of ninety, used to go one day in every week without any dinner, eating only a round of dry toast at tea. Aristotle, like a true poet, seems to have Hterally feasted on fancy. Few could live more frugally ; in one of his poems, he says of himself, "that he was a fit person to have lived in the world when acorns were the food of men." Shelley, who had an ineffable contempt for all the sensualities of the table, and, like New- ton, used sometimes to inquire if he had dined, was of opinion that abstinence fi-ora animal food subtilises and clears the intellectual faculties. To counteract a tendency to corpulency, Lord Byron, at one period, dined four days in the week on fish and vegetables, and even stinted himself to a pint of claret. If temperate in eating, it does not appear that he was equally'conscientious with respect to his libations — especially in that beverage styled gin-and-water, to the inspiration of which some of his lucubrations owe their origin. Burns — -the glowing but erratic Burns— was, as is but too well known, a wretched instance of the baneful effects of intemperance. (To be Continued.) SONNET. TO MARY.

[July, POLITICAL POETEAITS WITH PEN AND PENCII. HENRY C. MURPHY. He who steadily acquires the approbation of his fellows, or systematically controls his course of action to a lofty purpose, has a task to perform which entitles him, when successful, to a higher place in our regards than the crea- ture of mere circumstances, however elevated. And what constitutes the greatest beauty in our republican form of government is, that it leaves, in this respect, more for individual exertion to accomplish, and less for the casualties of birth and wealth ; nd patronage to bestow. Still, with us, occa- sion and necessity, as in other countries differently constituted, have a mighty power to direct the efforts and bend the mind to particular ends, or to divert them from any fixed purpose. Henry C. Murphy, whose portrait accompanies this number of our magazine, by his firm and consistent — as well as able support of the principles of the republican party, has acquir- ed an influence in the community whose representative on various occasions he has been, which is of as marked and flattering a character as it is the re- sult of honorable effort. He was born in Brooklyn, where he has always lived, and still continues to reside, in the year 1810. Timothy Murphy, his grandfather,- came from Ireland to Monmouth county, in New-Jersey, in 1769, having left home in the spirit of adventure at an early age. He married a great-grand-daughter of Richard Hartshorne, of Middletown, who was one of the council, in 1684, of Gawen Lawrie, deputy governor of the proprietaries of East Jersey.* When the revolutionary struggle commenced, he warmly espoused the cause of the colonies, and took up arms with the other whigs of Monmouth in its behalf. He was no less ardent in his support of the Jefferson ian principles of '98 — a faith which has been regularly transmitted from sire to son, to the subject of this sketch. Henry C. Murphy graduated at Columbia Col- lege, New- York, in 1830, and entered immediately upon the study of the law, under the late Hon. Peter W. Radcliff". He found time to bestow at- tention upon literary and political matters as well as upon his professional studies ; and he was, previous to his admission to the bar as well as after- wards, a frequent contributor to several periodicals of a high literary char- acter, and to some of the political journals of the day in vindication of the measures of President Jackson. Upon being admitted to the profession, in 1833, he devoted himself assiduously to its pursuit ; but not so as to prevent him from participating actively in the political contests which followed. In the Young Men's Convention, assembled at Herkimer, in 1834, he exhibit- ed his political foresight and energy of character. The state of New-York had long been pursuing, in regard to its monied interests, a policy which had placed them in the control of petty monopolists, created by political fa- voritism in every section of the state. He was designated as chairman of the committee on resolutions ; and he introduced in the committee and subsequently in the convention, a resolution, denouncing this system, al- - He was also a member of the council of Governor Andrew Hamilton, in 1695 and reoeat edly a representative in Assembly. His plantation embraced Sandy Hook, but was snS.n the right of the proprietors to fortify that point. He subsequently bought Wake cike of thP t1 dians, which was preceded by a patent from Governor NicoUs. ^ °' '''^ ^°" 1847.] Political Portraits with Pen and Pencil. 79 though its patronage had been distributed for the benefit of his party. A violent opposition was made to the resolution, but it finally passed with some modification. It was, however, never permitted to see the light, hav- ing been suppressed in the official report of the proceedings of the conven- tion. Still it had its effect. The fact that it was suppressed was made known. Many democratic journals, of which the Evening Post, then edit- ed by the late William Leggett, was most prominent, charged the suppres- sion home, took up the doctrine, and gave it a strength and popularity which resulted in a few years in the utter prostration of the system of monopolized banking in the state. Until the year 1842 Mr. Murphy held no public trust, except profession- ally, although always foremost to advocate the interests of the republican party, by his speeches and writings. He was, however, for several years, the attorney and counsel of the corporation of his native city, and in that capacity rendered himself familiar not only with its affairs, but with the na- ture and operation of municipal corporations generally, of which he has since urged some essential and radical reforms. In the year 1842 he was elected Mayor of Brooklyn, and his administration of its affairs was signalized by a system of retrenchment which, for the first time since its incorporation, kept the expenditures of the year within its income; and which was commenced by a large reduction of his own salary. Before the expiration of his terra of office as mayor, he was returned a member of the 28th Congress, and took his seat, accordingly, in December, 1843. He occupied at once a high stand in that body, although one of its youngest members. His views upon the great questions discussed there were thoroughly democratic, and were sustained with great ability on the floor. His speech on the tariff was a strong and logical argument in favor of the free trade doctrines, and in opposition to the restrictions contained in the law of 1842. On that question he advocated a system of duties for reve- nue purposes only, except as regards the munitions of war. The annexa- tion of Texas received his vote; but he advised a postponement of the mea- sure until the administration of Mr. Polk, in order that another opportunity might be afforded Mexico to give her assent, and that more unanimity might be secured thereby in favor of it among our own people. The question was, however, brought up ; but in view of the events which have since tran- spired, the wisdom of his recommendation must be admitted. His letter to the committee at Tammany Hall is an able and manly exposition of the grounds of his opinion upon the subject. On other questions of public policy he sustained himself most ably. The Native American party, which had then sprung into existence, sought an alteration of the naturalization laws, so as to require twenty-one years' residence as a condition of admission to citizenship. He demonstrated the inconsistency of such a measure with the genius of our government, as well as its injustice and impolicy— main- taining that the true conditions of those laws spring from one obvious dis- tinction — that an alien born is not held to an allegiance to the country until he has shown by some act that he has renounced the government under which he was born, while, on the contrary, a native owes it a natural allegi- ance ; and that, therefore,!the term of residence required should be no longer than may be sufficient to show that the alien has in good faith thrown him- self upon the protection of our government, after expressly renouncing that under which he was born. Mr. Murphy also advocated donations of the public domain to actual settlers. He was not less attentive to the interests of his district and state. The citizens of New-York and Brooklyn had long desired the construction of a permanent dry-dock at this port. The subject was committed to him by the naval committee, of which he was a member, 80 Political Portraits with Pen and Pencil. [July, and he made a report which had the effect of procuring the favorable action of Congress on the subject. That great national work, which had been previously commenced and abandoned, was, through his instrumentality, accordingly resumed, and is now in successful course of completion. In 1844 he was again presented as a candidate for Congress, but the democratic party was in a minority in the district, on the question of presi- dent ; and, although he ran ahead of the ticket, he participated in its n6iP3.t The framing of a new constitution for the state presented an occasion for the exertion of his talents, as he was elected by a very large majority a member of the convention which was called for that purpose. The delibera- tions of that body are too recent not to be familiar to most readers, and not to dispense with the necessity of referring to the different parts which he took in them. He showed himself a ready and accomplished debater, and was the author of several important provisions, introduced into the instru- ment which was adopted. As chairman of the Committee on Municipal Corporations, he presented a report upon that subject from the committee ; but that not going far enough, he presented also a minority report from himself alone, embracing wise and salutary reforms, such as the growing abuses in our city governments will soon render absolutely necessary. For want of time the convention only partially acted upon these reports, but adopted a provision, prepared by Mr. Murphy, enjoining the subject upon the attention of the legislature. The principles of reform suggested by him are of sufficient importance to be stated here, from public considera- tions. He objected to special charters, as a mere imitation of the grants of privileges, by which the free cities of Europe, so called, were invested with powers and rights, frequently of a sovereign and despotic character ; and proposed that general laws should be passed, by which all cities, of the same class, should be subjected to the same provisions, just as all towns or counties are respectively regulated by one law. He also objected to spe- cial assessments for local improvements, as subversive of the right of pri- vate property, which was made by them, subject to mere caprice and opin- ion ; and as calling forth, in a majority of cases, unnecessarily, the exercise of the right of eminent domain. In the place of them, he proposed that all improvements made by any city corporation, should be paid for out of the general treasury. He also proposed to limit the power of cities and vil- lages in contracting liabilities, to cases where provision had previously been made by tax to discharge them, expressly, in whole or in part, thus securing to tax-payers the opportunity of determining beforehand whether they would incur the debt for any specific purpose. The rapidly-increasing in- debtedness of almost all the cities of the state of New- York, and the enor- mous abuses which the assessment-system, as practised, permits, calls for these or other like efficacious remedies. In these reforms, as in that of bank charters, he has only for a while anticipated legislative action. This course met the approbation of his constituents, and he was elected, on his return from the convention, to a seat in the next Congress, by a larger majority than before, and upon the largest vote ever polled in the district. Another field is thus before him. Judging from the past, we feel assured that he will continue to show the same zeal and ability in sustain- ing the cause of popular rights, and to devote the same industry and energy of purpose in the public service, as has thus far characterized his political Cornell University Library Z1207 .M97 + Catalogue of the magnificent library of 3 1924 029 555 905 olin Overs CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF THE LATE Hon HENRY t).

MURPHY, AND HIS LIBRARY. Mr. Murphy was born in Brooklyn, Long Island, July 5, 1810, and died tliere December 1, 1882. His paternal grandfather, a physician, settled in the State of New Jersey. He was a member of the Colonial Council, the representative in the Assembly of the province, and a soldier of the Amer- ican Revolution. The son of this patriot, Mr. Murphy's father, settled In Brooklyn, of which city he was a Judge of the Municipal Court. But his memory is most endeared to the citizens of Broolilyn by the fact of his having been one of the promoters of their first public school in 1816. His eldest son, the late Henry C. Murphy, graduated from Columbia Col- lege with honors when he was twenty years old, and was admitted to the bar in 1833. The year following he was made Assistant Corporation Counsel of Brooklyn. A little later he became City Attorne3', and still later Counsel to the Corporation of the newly evolved " city " of Brooklyn. When thirty-two years old he was elected Mayor of the city of Brook- lyn on the Democratic ticket. In 1843 Jie was chosen a Member of the Twenty-eighth Congress of tlie United States. He was, however, defeated for a second Congressional term, and his labors temporarily ended in the House of Representatives on March 4, 1845. But he was re-elected in 1846 to Congress " by the largest vote ever previously polled in his dis- trict." In 1852 Mr. Murphy nearly became the Democratic candidate for the Presidency of the United States, when the Virginia delegation, at the Bal- timore Convention, considered him and Franklin Pierce as the best men available for the highest ofHce in the gift of the American people. President Buchanan, as a reward for his zealous services to his party, and as a recognition of his abilities, appointed him United States Minister to Holland. He remained at the Hague until the coming into oflBce of President Lincoln, who recalled him. Mr. Murphy was elected in 1861, and five times successively afterward, to the New York State Senate. He was a State Senator for twelve consec- utive years. It was under his auspices, as President of the East Biver Bridge Company, that the greatest triumph of modern engineering genius, the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, was begun and completed. He was Vi H. C. MUEPHY LIBRARY. also the President of the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railroad, until his death. ^ , „ . „^ _„ Mr. Murphy's highest claim to recognition is not as a statesman, but as a litterateur and bibliophile. He was a journalist and author of repute When in his twenty-second year, he was the principal editor.al writer ot the " Brooklyn Advocate and Nassau Gazette." For many years he was one of the leading contributors to the " North American Beview, as well as the " Democratic Review." He was the founder and proprietor ot the "Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Kings County Democrat," in October, 1841. While United States Minister at the Hague, he wrote a series of some thirty-five letters to that newspaper, which were extensively copied. His contributions to the "Historical Magazine " were continuous, and attracted much attention. He was no seltlsh lover of literature for his own sake. It seemed to be his greatest desire to benefit others as well as himself. Thus, while a young man, he was the principal founder of the " Young Men's Literary Association of Brooklyn," and when it changed its name to the " Hamilton Literary Association of Brooklyn," he was elected its first President. In 1839 Mr. Murphy was a trustee, and one of the organizers of the "Brook- lyn City Libray," and a year later was also a trustee of the " Brooklyn Apprentices' Library," upon its reorganization. In 18G3 he was one of the initial founders of the "Long Island Historical Society." Among his personal literary labors should be named his edition and translation of De Vries's "Voyage from Holland to America, 1632-1644 ;"' " Broad Advice to the New Netherlands," which he attributed to Corne- lius Melyn; his " First Minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in the United States," dated at the Hague, April 1, 1858; his seventy-two page work, published 1859, entitled " Henry Hudson in Holland ;" his edition for the Long Island Historical Society of Dankers and Sluyter's " Journal of a Voyage to New York and a Tour in Several of the American Colonies in 1679-80;" and his memoir of the bibliophile Herman Ernst Ludewig for the New England Memorial Biographies. Mr. Murphy's two most important works were "The Anthology of the New Netherlands," of which only 208 pages were printed for the Bradford Club, and his monograph entitled "The Voyage of Verrazano." The best life of Mr. Murphy yet written is from the pen of his friend, the well-known author. Dr. Henry R. Stiles. It consists of a paper read before the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society, and which takes some twenty-four pages of the January (1883) number of the valu- able quarterly " Record " of that Society. It is well to state further and more particularly that in general geogra- phy, voyages and travels, which were Mr. Murphy's specialties, the library is unusually large, and comprises the collections of DeBry, Ramusio, Hakluyt, Purchas, Gryngeus, Thevenot, Commelin, Abelyn, and Ternaux- Compans. Of the early editions of Ptolemy's " Cosmographia," the collection is not surpassed in the United States. It comprises no less than twent-six edi- tions of the famous geographer, printed between the years 1462 and 160O. Besides these are the works of other noted geographers, as Strabo, Pom- H. C. MURPHY LIBRARY. Vll ponius Mela, Abiilfeda. Edrisi, Apian, Ortelius, Mercator, Wytfliet and Munster. The more recent geographers are also fully represented. New France and Canada are conspicuous. Among works on this widely extended region are the "Jesuit Relations," in forty-two vol- umes, probably the most complete set of these valuable books ever offered for sale eithei' in Europe or America. In the same department will be found the writings of Sagard, Lescarbot, Champlain, LECtERCQ, Charle- voix. Hennepin, LaHontan, Bressani, St. Denis, Wiiitbourne, Biard and Margry; also the Merc.iire Frani;aise, in 24 volumes. New Netherland, embracing portions of New York and New Jersey, is probably the most complete of any department. Mr. Murphy was learned in the Dutch language and literature, and no book or pamphletthat related directly or indirectly to the Dutch and Swedish settlements in North America is known that is not to be found in the collection. Among the works relating to New York are the writings of Van dbk DoNCK, De Vries, the Hudson Tracts by Gbrkitz, editions of 1612 and 1613, and Denton. On New Jersey are the works of Campanius, Acke- Lius, Thomas; Thompson, Smith. New England is represented in the works of the Mathers, Eliot, Cotton, Mokton, Higginson, Lederkr, Bishope, Hubbard, Mourt, Shepard, Coddington, Roger Williams, Winslow, Wood, Whitfield, and Vaughan. Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, the Carolinas, Florida and Louisiana are also represented by the most desirable books. Upon the Indian languages, the works are very numerous, and include Dictionaries, Vocabularies, Grammars, unpublished manuscripts, and both editions of Eliot's Indian Bible and New Testament. Among the early Spanish and Dutch writers are the "Letters of Cortes," the original edition of 1552, and the works of Petbk Martyr, Las Casas, Acosta, Benzoni, Cikca, Gomara, Herrera, Enciso, Linschoten, DbLaet, Oviedo, Thevet, Soto, Vega, Zaratb, Van deu Donck, De Vries, Wassenaer, 24 vols., 4to., and Usselincx. Of UssKLiNcx there are twelve different works, relating io New Nbth- KULAND. New Sweden, and the operations of the Dutch West India Company. So complete a collection of the works of this writer does not exist in any library in the United States. See numbers 2553 to 2563*. Among the miscellaneous books are the Archceologia, or Miscellaneous Tracts, relating to Antiquity, published by the Antiquarian Society of Lon- don, forty-two vols.; The British Poets, Riverside Edition, 135 vols., crown octavo, large paper; Botta and Flandin's Monumens de Nineve, printed at the National Printing Office, Paris, five vols., atlas folio; Layauds Nineveh, two vols., atlas folio; Chinese Bepository, complete, twenty vols., octavo; the Harleian Miscellany, edited by T.

On page 69, the fourtli chapter thus begins ; — "America: quae nunc Quarta pars terrae dicitur, ab Americo Vespucio eiusde inuetore nomen sortita est. Et non immerito : quoniam mari vndique clauditur Insula appellatur." America, which is now called the fourth part of the world, justly took its name from Amcricus Vespucius, who discovered it ; and It is called an island for the reason that it is surrounded by water.

The Catalogue occupies 96 pp. separately numbered, at the end of the book, and is not found in all copies. There has been no worthier workman in the field of Mexican Antiquities than Boturini; even Lord Kingsborough's name can scarcely be placed so high. Without the indefatigable and wisely-directed researches of the Hispano-Ital- ian, a great portion of the native contributions to Mexican history would cer- tainly have perished. Yet, instead of loading him with rewards, the Spanish Government robbed him of his MSS. under pretence that his intimacy with the Indians covered disloyalty." 300* BRASSEUR DE BOURBOURG, L'Abbe. j^^ ^ 1.

In a note in the Memoirs of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, (Vol. 6, p. 147,) it is stated that " Chief Justice Gibson said that Brackenridge emulated not without success the originality and purity of Swift; and Dr. Cannahan, President of Princeton College, speaks of his work as a book second in genuine humour only to its great prototype, Don Quixote de la Mancha. These gentle- men were well acquainted with Western Pennsylvania, and their estimation of Modern Chivalry gives it a high value among the works to be examined on the subject of the (Whiskey) Insurrection." ^.^ 321 BRAINERD, Rev.

The author of this book has adopted the form of a dialogue of such a council to show the misconduct of the Dutch West India, Company, especially in New Netherland, and for that purpose introduces as mterlocutors ten persons, consisting of a Portuguese soldier in the service of tlic Company, the captain of the ship, a Swedish student, a Spanish barber, a French merchant, a Neapolitan, a German gentleman, a poor English nobleman, AMERICANA. 47 a boatswain, and a Polander. With tliese men as spokesmen the agents and officers of the Dutch West India Company, in Brazil and in New Netlierland, are arraigned, particularly the directors Kieft and Stuyyesant. In fact, the pamphlet appears tahave been got up by Cornells Melyn, the patroon of Staten Island, who had been tried for treason and condemned to an exile of seven years, by Stuyvesant upon the complaint of Kieft. The tract is very rare, the last one known to us which came from Holland several years since cost $100. Since then the price of rare Americana has greatly increased. 342 BRESSANY, E. P. F. J.

After the almost complete extermination of that nation, and the scattering of what was left, he returned to Italy, where he preached till his death, with the more fruit, inasmuch as he bore on his mutilated hands glorious marks of his apostolate among the heathen. — Hist, of New France, Dr. Shea's Trans., Vol. 1, p. 80. 344 BRETON, Raymond.

The journey of Cabeja de Vaca across the entire continent from the penin- sula of Florida to the Cinaloa on the Pacific, 1528 to 1537, and thence to the city of Mexico, is one of the most remarkable on record, and ranks in importance • with that of Marco Polo in the East in the thirteenth century. 60 H. C. MURPHY LIBEARY. The volume also contains the Commentaries of Cabefa de Vaca as Adelen- tado of the Province of La Plata, written under his direction by Pero Hernandez, his Secretary. These appear here for the first time, and contain almost as mar- vellous a story as the relation of his voyage to Florida. The Relation was translated into English by the late Buckingham Smith. The Commentaries were translated into French, and published by M. Ternaux Compans in 1837, in his Collection of Memoires. — Tom. 6. /, /'J~442 Cabeza de Vaca.

Nothing is known of tlie author except that his grandfather, tlie Rev. John Campanius, accompanied Gov.

A brief history of the country both sides of the Delaware, then known as New Sweden. III. An account of the Indians who inhabited the banks of the Delaware, when they had not been corrupted by the whites. IV.

It is remarkable for the plates of De Bry, representing the cruelties of the Spaniards. Appearing in the free city of Frankfort-on-the-Main 46 years after the publication of the original works of Las Casas, it was no doubt intended to prejudice the public mind against the Spaniards in their war with the Nether- lands, by representing their inhumanity and atrocities in America, .the memory of which was probably awakened by the execution of the Counts of Holland (Egmond and Horn) by the Duke of Alva.

It is impossible to overrate the value of this series of works to the historical student. Each Chronicle has been edited by some one of the most eminent mod- ern authorities in English History, in such a manner as to represent with all possible correctness the writer's text, which is derived from a collation of the best MSS., and is accompanied by illustrative notes and a glossary. In the preface to each an account Is given of the age and peculiarities of the MSS. used, together with a memoir of the author and an estimate of his historical credibility and value. The series already forms a corpus historicum, within reasonable limits, for the period from the earliest time of British history down to the end of the reign of Henry the Seventh. /f.St 576 CHRONOLOGIE Septenaire del'HistoiredelaPaix entreles Roys de France et d'Espagne.

They are in Spanish on one side, with a Latin version on the other. A reprint of the Latin side alone forms more than twenty closely printed pages in this vol- ume.

This statement of the great philosopher is incorrect, as Sandy's translation of Ovid was made in Virginia about ninety years before, but printed in London. . ST) 583 CICERO.

Irving, in speaking of this great event, says : " No sooner did he land, than he threw himself upon his knees, kissed the earth, and returned thanks to God with tears of joy. His example was followed by the rest, whose hearts overflowed with the same tears of gratitude." — Ufe of Golumbus, Vol. I., p. ISO. The " Tabla Chronologica" thus notices the event: "Laprimera Islaque Don Chrlstoval Colon descubrib, fu^ la de S. Salvador. Quando tomo tierra en ella hizo sta devota oracion ; Domine Deus Eeternas et oranipotens, sacra tuo verbo Coelum, et terram, et mare creasti: benedicatur et glOrificetur nomen tuum, laudetur tua Majestas, quae dignata est per humllem servum tuum, utejus sacrum nomen agnoscatur etpraedicetur in hac altera a mundi parte." — ^p. 164. Clementi says the same prayer was afterwards used by Balbao, Cortes, and Pizarro, in their discoveries, by order of the Kings of Castile. f.. . S^ 600 CLERK, Nicolaes de.

The work seems to have be- come scarce as early as 1786, for in January of that year Mr. Jefferson, writing to I Francis Hopkinson, observes : "Many, many yeai-s ago, Cadwallader Golden wrote a very small pamphlet on the subjects of Attraction and Impulsion, a copy of which Ke sent to Monsieur de Buffon. He was so charmed with it that he puj it into the hands of a friend to translate, who lost it. It has ever since weighed upon his mind, and ^e has made repeated trials to have it found in England.

Or perhaps some of the careful old people ot Philadelphia or New Jersey may have preserved a copy." Whether Hopkinson was successful does not appear. il)1{rd 613 GOLDEN, (G.)

The leaf measures 7^ x 6Ji inches. In all « respects a REMARKABLY FINE copy, to which the _DerficoiJon to Boyle imparts EXTRAOEDINARY RARITY.. Only three copies containing this Dedication are known, and two of these are in public libraries. It is a remarkable event, not only in the propagation of the Gospel in Amer- ica, but in the history of printing in the New World, that a second edition of Eliot's Indian Bible should have been printed in 1685, when that art was but in its infancy here, and when scarcely anything above a pamphlet had then come from the press. The proposition for the printing of this edition was submitted to the Commissioners of the United Colonies of New England for their consider- ation in 1678-79, by Mr, Eliot, who, among his several appeals, said, that King Philip had sent to him for books to read. — Plymouth Colony Records, Vol. X. Alluding to a correspondence that Mr. Murphy had relative to this volume, he says in a note : " It would seem that this copy of the Indian Bible might be the identical copy which belonged to Robert Boyle. The extreme rarity of the Dedication strengthens the supposition. " The later history of tliis volume as given me by Mr. Trumbull, the Indian philologist and executor of Mr. Brinley, is that at the sale a very few years ago, of the Marquis of Hastings' Library, as mentioned in the Brinley Catalogue, it was bought by Mr. Quaritch, Bookseller, London, who resold it to Mr. Brinley for $1,100."

John Eliot, pastor of Roxbury, Massachusetts, began the study of the Natick Indian language when forty-two years of age ; and having acquired a knowledge of it expressed a desire to translate the Scriptures into it for the use, of the natives, among whom he acted as a Missionary. Aided by an Indian wha had been taught the art of jirinting, he completed the translation of the Old and New Testament, in 1658, after a labor of eight years. The fact having been made known to the Lptidon Society for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Indians of Sew England, by Gpyern9r Endicptt, in a. letter da^ed, December 28, 1658, that body at Once agreed to bear the expense of printing fifteen hundred 16 122 H.

The following is an extract from the Society's letter, dated the nh May, 1659 ; " As to the printing of the Bible in the Indian language ; mentioned in Mr. Endicott's letter; which wee vnderstand is alreddy translated into the Indian tounge ; wee conceuie will not onely be acceptable vnto God ; but uery proffit- able to the poor heathen and will much tend to the promotion of the sperituall part of this wovke amongst them ; and therfor wee offer it not onely as our owne but as the judgment of others that the New Testament bee first printed in the Indian language." — Hazard's '^State Papers," Vol. II., p. 403. ^.

This edition, whicli is exceedingly rare, is said to be the first book printed in Spanish relating to America, and unknown to Robertson. ' , " Euciso having gained a considerable sum In St. Domingo by practicing law, was induced byOjeda to join him in an expedition of discovery and conquest to the continent of America. After suffering great hardships and hairbreadth escapes, which are related by Herrera, he returned to Spain, and published this work for the instruction of Charles V. The account of America is principally from his own observations." " In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Harrisse says : " We must add that Mar- tin Fernandez de Enciso first came to the New World with Eodrigo de Bastidas,. was Aguazil of the Golden Castll, and owner of the vessel as well as the planner of the expedition in which Vasco Nunez de Balboa acquired so much fame. A great hydrographer and explorer, his work is invaluable for the early geographi- cal history of the continent." — Bib. Americana Veiustissima.

We give a translation ; Anno 1509. Seven wild men are brought from that island (w^ioh is called Terra Nova) to Rouen with their canoe, clothing, and arms. They are of a sooty color, with thick lips, and bearing marks on the face drawn like blue veins along the cheek-bones from the ear to the middle of the chin. With hair black and coarse like a horse's mane. No beard throughout the whole life ; no hair on the pubis, nor in any other part of the entire body, except on the head and eyebrows. They wear a girdle, in which is a sort of pouch to cover the privities ; they form a dialect with the lips; religion they have none. Their canoe is of bark, which a man lifts on the shoulders with one hand. Their arms : Large bows, the strings being the intestines or sinews of animals ; arrows, canes barbed with flint or fish- bone. Their food : broiled flesh ; drink : water. Of bread and wine and money they have not the least use. They go naked, or clad in the skins of beasts, bears, and similar animals. Their country is 'in the parallel of the seventh climate beyond the west of France, etc. The present edition is a beautiful specimen of early typography by Henry Stephens, Paris, 1512, with additions by various hands to that year.

Together with the conquest of Mexico and New Spain.] " Gomara," says Mr. Ticknor, "the oldest of the regular historians of the New World, — who was born at Seville in 1510, and was, for some time, Pro- fessor of Rhetoric at Alcala. His early life, spent in the mart of the American adventurers, seems to have given him an interest in them, and a knowledge of their aifairs, which led him to write their history. The works he produced, besides one or two of less consequence, were, first, his * History of the Indies,' which, after the Spanish fashion, begins with the creation of the world, and ends with the glories of Spain, though it is chiefly devoted to Columbus and the discovery and conquest of Peru ; the second, his * Chronicle of New Spain,' which is, in truth, merely the history and life of Cortes, and which, with this more appropriate title, was reprinted by Bustamente, in Mexico, in 1826. As the earli- est records that were published concerning affairs which already stirred the whole of Christendom, these works had, at once, a great success, passing through two editions almost immediately, and being soon translated into French and Italian." .... "He was secretary of Cortes, and was misled by informa- tion received from him, and from other persons, who were too much of a part of the story they undertook to relate to tell it fairly. , His mistakes, in conse- quence, are great and frequent." — Hist, of Spanish Literature, Vol. I., p. 558. 1063 GONIDEC, J.

Among others is a history of New England, from 1628 to 165*, 4to., London, 1654. The running-title of the book is ' Wonder- WorMng Providence,' &c., and in the genuine title-page, no author is named. Some of the books were faced with a false title-page; wherein the work is wrongly assigned to Sir F. Gorges; but the true author was Mr. Johnson, of Woburn, in New England, as the late Judge Sewall assur'd me, as of a thing familiarly known among the fathers of the Massachusetts Colony." The third of these books was no more nor less than the identical history of New England. 1073 GOSSELIN, M.

In the latter they are placed chronologically, beginning with the nar- rative of Duplan Carpin, the Pope's Nuncio in Tartary in 1246-7, and ending with Dickenson's God's Protecting Providence in 1696. In the folio edition a different arrangement is adopted of the same materials. The relations are distributed under four different heads, having reference to the nations to which the writers belonged, and forming two volumes each ; first, the voyages of the Portuguese ; second, of the Spaniards ; third, of the English ; and fourth, of the French, Ital- ians, Danes, Germans, Dutch and others, — a chronological order being observed in regard to the pieces in each of these subdivisions. 1075 GOTTIFREDO, Alexandre.

French mottled calf, extremely rare, \_Paris'\, 1782 " This edition of Mr. Jeffevson's celebrated Notes was evidently printed in Paris ; but as Mr. Jefferson did not reach France until tlie year 178'!, tiie date on the title probably is not that of the year in which it was printed, but of the year in which the manuscript was completed. A copy presented to M. Malesherbe had the following note, in Mr. Jefferson's handwriting: ' Mr. Jefferson having had a few copies of these notes printed to pre.sent to some of his friends, and to some estimable characters beyond that line, takes the liberty of presenting a copy to M. de Malesherbe, as a testimony of his respect to his character. Unwill- ing to expose them to the public eye, he begs the favour of M. de M. to put them into the hands of no person on whose care and fidelity he cannot rely, to guard them against publication.'

The "Jesuit Reliiiions," as tliey are called, are among the most important of all the publications extant relating to the discovery and settlement of New France. The earliest missionaries to whom we are indebted for these valuable "Rela- tions" arrived in Canada in 1625, and at once made themselves acquainted with the Indian languages. They pushed on to what was then the Far West, and established their missions among the Hurons and other tribes, extending even to Lake Superior and the Upper Mississippi. Before seven years had elapsed, from the time of their arrival at Quebec, they had explored this vast and hitherto unknown region, from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Lake Superior, and had planted the cross among its aboriginal tribes. ♦ It is fortunate for the world that these Jesuit missionaries were men of learn- ing and observation, as they have left us not only narratives of their travels and operations, but have given us particular accounts of the countries where they dwelt, of their productions, and of the Indian tribes which then swarmed throughout them. Every year they transmitted to the "Pere Provincial," of the Company of Jesuits, their head, at Quebec, their journals or relations, which were sent to France and at once published. These interesting narratives did much towards keeping up an interest in the missions, in obtaining supplies for their support, and in inducing others, zealous in the cause of the conversion of the Indians, to devote themselves to the missionary enterprise. These Relations extend from the year 16.32 to 1679. Of their merit, Charlevoix pronounces the following opinion ; "As those Fathers were scattered among all the nations with which the French were in relation, and as their missions obliged them to enter into the affairs of the Colony, their memoirs may be said to embrace an elaborate history thereof. There is no other source to which we can apply for instruction as to the progress of Religion, or for a knowledge of these people, all of whose lan- guages they spoke. The style of these '/2eZo/i07is ' is extremely simple ; but this simplicity itself has not contributed less to give them a great celebrity, than the curious and edifying matter they contain." — Histoire de la Nouvetle France, Vol. II., page xlviii. An excellent memoir on these books, by the late Dr. E. B. O'Callaghan, of Albany, was printed by the New York Historical Society, with the following title: "Jesuit Relations of l>iscoveries and other Occurrences in Canada and the Northern and Western States of the f777ion, 1632-1672." New York, 1847. 8vo. A more extended bibliography of these Relations, including a number of tracts, embracing reprints and publications from manuscripts appertaining to the mis- sions in Canada, has been printed by the Trustees of the Lenox Library.

" The author having an interest in the colony of Guiana, to. which he was attached as an officer, attempts to show how much Guiana is superior to New Netherland for the purpose of colonization, and so to prove his assertions, shows what advantages warm countries have over cold ones The arguments of the author, the exact calculation he pretends to make of the necessary expenses of colonization in each, his glowing descriptions of Guiana, induced many to go there, and to this we are to ascribe the vehemence with which the author of the •'Kort rerhael " attacks Otto Keye."—Asher's Essay on Dutch Books.

"Of all the books," he says, " which the Dutch have left us on their American colony, of however various kinds tbey may be, none is certainly stranger than this. After the twenty-seventh page we entirely lose our way ; everything is unknown to us, — ideas, the very words almost, the persons the author addresses, the diction, — in a word the whole book And although it belongs to the four or five first Dutch books on New Netherland, which were known in America, these writers treat it almost as if it was unknown to them. It is, however, an excellent source for a part of the History of New Netherland, which has as yet not been written; that of the influence of parties, and of their disputes on colonization." — Bib. Essay on Dutch Sooks, relating to I^tw Netherlands Amst., lS5i-67, p. 13. Mr. MuUer says the "ICort. VerlmeV is one of the most interesting and scarcest books on New Netherland, and that he had only found three copies in the course of twenty years." — Catalogue for 1872. 1406 it^JX^ClE ^enntcrcfefitfle enire ^cniBBStnflhe op tiz H^^ iWisstbe tan Jen HonCnQii tan ^root Urfttan= flfen, gheschretcn aen lie l^ooah Jttog : "^tzxtxi.

Coxe, in liis " Description of Carolana," says, p. 118, that it was published by order of the French King, but in consequence of its contain- ing passages favoring, inadvertantly, the English pretensions, it was called in, " and that book of one livre price is not now (1741) to be purchashed for thirty livres." Mr. Shea has given a very full notice of the work in his " Discovery of the Mississippi," (p. 78,) accompanied with copious translations. It contains an original account of La Salle's voyage down that' river by Father Anestatius, who accompanied the expedition. Mr. Sparks, in his life of La Salle, attests (p. 91) the great rarity of this book at tlie present day. — N'oie by Mr. Marphy. 1452 LE CLERC, Ci-i. Bibliotheca Americana.

London, 1672 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 pre- sumes that the accomplishment of this glorious designe is reserved for her." Lederer, who was a German, travelled 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 A'irginia, and sought refuge in Mary- land, where he was well received by Sir William Talbot,— who, " finding him a modest and ingenious 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.

This man Hugh Linsohote behaved himselfe so honestly and warily during the time of his abode there, that he was not onely in high favour of his Lord and Maister, but he was also singularly and generally beloved of all the inhabitants and places where he was most resident. He did most diligently and considerately observe and col- lect together all accurrents and accidents that happened in his memory & Icnowl- edge, and the same hath committed to writing in the Dutch Tongue with all faithfulnes."

The town of Alba is laid down on the eastern coast, and beneath this land is " flic habitant Pygmei vulgo Screlinger cticii."

When this map was made the Delaware had not been explored by the Dutch , or at least, information of its having been done had not reached Holland, as we do not find the names of Cape Henry and Cornelius, which were given to it from Cornelius Jacobsen May, the first discoverer, according to De Laet, French ed. XII. It will be observed that Mannates appears on this map as the name of New York island. De Laet says in the Nouveau Monde, p. 75, that Hudson so named it, that is, Manhattes. /^fij-J 1582 MAPS.

There were two issues of this volume in the same year. Several typographi- cal errors being discovered after the first was struck off, two leaves were reprinted and issued with the remaining copies. A new title was reprinted for these, and the two leaves which were inserted between the Decade and the poe- try, contain a list of errata and an address to Cardinal Xinienes on the value of illustrating the text with a chart. This chart, which is wanting in many copies, is remarkably correct for the period, and nothing equal to it appeared for a long time after. Mr. Quaritch, in his Catalogue for 1879, prices a copy, with the map, at £100. We learn that this copy came to America. 1606 MARTYR.

Printed by William Bradford, New York, 1719 The arrangement and paging of this edition of the Laws of New York re- quire explanation in order to be understood. The volume is complete. The gaps in the numbering of the pages arise from the fact that it is made up of re- prints of portions of the early acts, those of a temporary character being left out, by which means the number of pages is reduced; and of the session laws, subsequently passed, in the original sheets as (hey were printed, and continu- ously numbered with the earlier session laws, as printed at the time, containing the temporary as well as the permanent acts. The directions to be found on the reverse of the last leaf of the table of contents In the beginning of the book AMERICANA. 259 will explain the duplication of a large number of pages, by reason of the sepa- rate publication of an appropriation bill. It is to be noted that this compilation differs materially from the edition printed in London in the same year, and that laws are found in each not in the other. — Note by Mr. Marphy.

The first edition of one of the most celebrated geographical works of the fifteenth century, of which there have been many subsequent editions, and in whicli the number of maps has been much increased. Among the maps are one of the whole world, another of America, with Terra del Fuego extending east and west, forming a great southern continent. The map entitled " Septentiionalium Regionum," contains Greenland, with num- erous rivers, and upon the southern side the towns of Alba and St. Thomas. West of Greenland, corresponding to the western shore of Davis's Strait of our day, is Estotiland. South of this is the island of Drogeo, and east of this towards Iceland is the larger island of Frislaud, upon which several towns, capes, and gulfs are laid down. These three latter named places are lands claimed to have been discovered hy the brothers Zeni. Mr. Muller, in his Catalogue of books on America, No. 1866, p. 122, says that a copy of this edition was exhibited at the exhibition for Geographical Sciences at Antwerp in 1871, and supposed to be unique. It wanted map No. 46. The present copy is, in all respects, complete. 264 H. C. MURPHY LIBRARY. /^^^^ 1875 ORTELIDS. Theatrum Orbis Terrarum.

This is an unfinished and unpublished work, by the late celebrated wri- ter, Mr. Ottley, author of the well-known, learned, and valuable " Inquiry into the Origin and Early History of Engraving upon Copper and in Wood," 2 vols. • 4to. 1816. In the author's preliminary observations on the method pursued in this work, he says; " The following work contains an account of researches, prose- cuted at intervals during the last twenty years, upon the Origin of rriiiting, with a view to ascertain, if passible, whether the claims of Holland to the honor of that invention be, really well, or illlbunded. In further prosecuting this inquiry I have endeavoured to bring to bear on the subject, various kinds of evidence, not resorted to, and perhaps not thought of, by previous writers; and I flatter my- self tliat, in consequence, I have been enabled, in not a few instances, to clear up doubtful points; to prove the falsehood of opinions, until now generally held to be true; and to establish, incontrovertibly, the truth of some facts, at least, which have heretofore been denied, or contested." It contains most minute particulars of all the arguments brought forward by those who favour either the claims of Holland or Germany, including the sys- tems of Meorman, Heinecken, Santander, and Koning ; the early use of Wood, engraving in Europe; an accurate collation of the various editions of the early Block-Books, viz.: the Biblia Pauperum; Historia seu Providentia VirginiB Mariae ex Cantico Canticorum ; Speculum Humauae Salvationis, &o., &0.

Genoa, Petrus Paulas Porrus, 1516 This polyglot Psalter is an important volume in a collection relating to Amer- ica, an account of a biography of Columbus, by Guistiniani, the editor, on the margin of Psalm XIX., verses 1-4. Columbus having proclaimed that lie had been chosen by God to exemplify thfc thought or prophecy expressed in this Psalm. Giustiani inserted on the margin of this book the biography referred to. Fernando Columbus says, in the life of his father, (§ 1.) th."it J.ustiniani has inserted above a dozen falsehoods, which he specifies in his account, besides others which are obscure ; and that the Senate of Genoa had, in consequence, imposed a penalty upon any person within their jurisdiction who should read or Iceep his Psalter, or his Chronicle, afterwards published, and had ordered both these books to be destroyed. Ptolemy's geography. 285 editions of ptolemy's geography and of com- MENTARIES THEREON. Claudius Ptolemy, a celebrated astronomer and geographer, was a native of Egypt, though it is uncertain whether he was born at Pelusium, or Ptolemais, in the Thebaid. He flourished at Alexandria in 139 A. D., and there is positive evidence that he was living in 161 A. D. Both as an astronomer and geographer he held supreme sway over the minds of almost all the scientiflc men from his own time down to about the beginning of the sixteenth century. As a geogra- pher he appears before his readers as the corrector and improver of the works of a predecessor, Marinas of Tyre, about whom, except from Ptolemy's writ- ings, little is known. His geography is divided into eight books, most of which are little more than a catalogue of places, with their latitude and longitude, and a brief description prefixed to each continent and country. The rest of the work contains details regarding his mode of noting the positions of plj^ces, by lati- tude and longitude, with a calculation of the sphere of the earth, and the extent of surface then known. His geography was the standard text-book till the great maritime discoveries of the fifteenth century showed its deficiencies. " Of all [the ancient geographers] that I have named," writes Kamusio, " Ptolemy, as the latest, possessed the greatest extent of knowledge. Thus, towards the North, his knowledge carries him beyond the Caspian, and he is aware of its being shut in all around like a lake, — a fact which was unknown in the days of Strabo and Pliny, though the Komans were already the lords of the world. But though his knowledge extends so far, a tract of fifteen degrees be- yond that sea he can describe only as Terra Incognita: and towards the South he is fain to apply the same character to all beyond the Equinoctial." — Col.

Folio, blue turkey tnor. super extra. gilt edges, rich inside gold tooling, 1462 The earliest date of any printed edition, but by bibliographers believed to be a typographical error, and that it should be 1482. The following note by the late Mr. Murphy presents a clear statement regard- ing the work : " There has been much discussion among the bibliographers in regard to the date of this volume, all, however, agreeing that it could not have been printed in H62 at Bologna, as the Colophon asserts, but assigning difTerent reasons foi' that opinion, as well as different years for the true date. One asserts that It could not have been printed in 1462, because Philip Bevaldus, who is mentioned in the note or epistle at the end of the book as having made the latest emenda- tions of the text, was only born in 1463, and could not, therefore, have been more than nine-years old when these corrections were made, whidi was of course impossible. Another shows that De I^apis was not installed as printer at Bo- logna until 1476; and a third proves that the custom of giving the reclamts or direction words of the signatures in the register was not adopted for a dozen or more years after 1462. Tliere is, however, a conclusive piece of evidence, inde- pendently of all these proof's, which has been overlooked, furnished on the very first page of the work. It is the dedication to Pope Alexander V- by Angeleas. That pontiff did not occupy the papal chair until 1464, and the book could not, therefore, have been dedicated to him as pope in 1462. The true date seems to be 1482, although different other years have been as- signed for that purpose. The manner in which the error occurred is supposed to 286 H. C. MUEPHT LIBRARY. have been by the displacement of XX from the year to the month, the type hav- ing fallen out and been wrongly replaced. The date reads Anno M.CCCC.LXII. Mense Junii XXIII. Bononie.

The second map in this edition is the celebrated map by Euysch, showing the discoveries in America, and undoubtedly belongs to the re-issue of this edi- tion at Rome the next year (1608) with additions and corrections.

Borne, folio, half hound in maroon mor., uncut, 1508 This is a re-issue of tlie edition of 1607, with the addition of a cosmographi" cal description of the world by Marcus von Benevent, in which the writer des. cribes, vaguely enough, the situation of Terra Nova, discovered by the Portu- guese and English, and, in a distinct chapter, the land of Santa Cruz, in which he includes the northern coast of South America as well as Brazil, discovered, as he says, by the Portuguese and Columbus. . It is valuable for the addition of the map of the world by Johan Kuysch, a German, which is the first printed map on which the discoveries in America, are laid down, but without the name of America, and especially for its delinea- tion of the coast of Brazil, which is evidently derived from the voyages of Ves- pucius. Newfoundland, to which Ruysch had, as Benevent informs us, made a voyage himself from the south of England, probably in one of the expeditions from Bristol after the Cabots, is shown, not as an island, but as part of the Asi- atic continent. The discoveries of Columbus in the West Indies and on the northern coast of South America are represented very clearly, showing Cuba only in part, and as far as the great discoverer himself had explored it. Green- land, which is figured in the maps in the Ptolemies of H82 and 14S0, as a part of the European continent, is made here a peninsula of Asia. With the exception of the error in connecting the northern discoveries on the main land of Asia, the prevailing idea of that day, this map is a correct representation of the state of American discovery at the time of its publication. 2051 PTOLEM^US.

It is extended further eastward than the first one, and embraces Zapangu (Japan) and the East India Islands. The new world is represented in a narrow strip upon which appears Terra Cuba, Ispania and several small unnamed islands. Farther north are Regalis Domus and Terra Laboratoruz. The north- western part of Europe is called Engroneland. Upon the map of Africa are two lakes from which the Nile rises, which correspond to the lakes Nyanza, claimed by late English travellers as a new discovery. This is the first engraved map on which the countries discovered by Gaspar Cortercal are laid down, though some writers assert that they are shown on Euysch's map, which is so far correct that Newfoundland is there represented. But here the name of Corte Real is distinctly applied to the words regalis do- mus ; and the designation terra laboratoris, or Labrador, also relates to his dis- coveries.

This is au entirely new and remarliable edition of Ptolemy by two different persons. The text is newly rendered into Latin by Matthew Ringman, whose name is grecized Fhilesius. The maps are divided into two series, one compris- ing twenty-seven which retain the old nomenclature, and the other consisting of twenty which show the different parts of the world according to modern discov- ery and knowledge, and are the work of Martin ^'^altzemiiUer, grecized Hylaco- mylus, the authorof the " Cosmographioi Introductio,^' published at St. Di6 in 1507. They were prepared and engraved in the same year as that publication, at the expense of R-en^, Duke of Lorraine, and remained unpublished, probably in consequence of his death, until their appearance in this volume. Two of them, entitled '* Orbis typus Universalis juxta hydrographorum traditionem," and " Tabula terre nove," contain American discoveres. On the latter, Cuba, called Isabella, is represented as an island, which is a step beyond the map of Ruyscli, though, in fact, it is of no later date. There is no representation of the north- ern discoveries of Newfoundland, but an incongruous and false delineation of a coast north and west of Cuba. The discoveries of the Spaniards and Portu- guese along the coasts of South America are shown substantially the same as on the map of Kuysch and with some additional names. The map of the world contains only a portion of what is given of America on this one, and represents Greenland as a portion of Europe.

It is somewhat Celebrated on account of the name of its editor, Michel Servetus, the martyr. It is stated that one of the charges brought against Servetus, for which he suffered, was a passage from this edition of Ftoleray, stating that Palestine was not such a fertile country as people generally believed, since modern travellers related that it was quite barren. The paragraph is alluded to by Ebert, Brunet, Harrisse, and others, but all of them make the same mistake with regard to its position In the book. It appears that Servetus copied it from the editions of 1522 and 1520, and hence, was not the author of the para- graph. The objectionable paragraph was omitted in the next edition of Ptolemy. 2058 PTOLEMiEUS. Geogi-aphia Vniversalis, vetus et nova. ^l.SD Libros viii.

Franeker, where it was issued, is a small town near Leewarden, in Fries- land, where tliere was formerly a university of some celebrity. The publication of Mercator was like this without any text, but it had notes as may be inferred from Brunei's description of Hondius' edition of Ptolemy, 1618, and the maps were intended to show the design . of Ptolemy better than appears in those of Agathodsemou, which were received up to that time.— Nott hy n.

It embraces their history, ethnography, antiquities, and languages; their ancient and modern geography; their manners and customs, religion and superstitions; their agriculture, com- merce and trade; their ornamental arts, and their physical and intellectual peculiarities. All these subjects are treated, not in a general and summary man- ner, but in detail, each topic being patiently and thoroughly discussed and exhausted; the work, although mainly executed by the author's owu hand, hav- ing received the contributions of many savans thoroughly conversant with par- ticular subjects embraced in its pages. The result is such a work as could have been produced in no other way. It is the most complete and thorough collection of treatises relating to the Indians, and comprises also the only general history of the aboriginal race, which has ever been published. It is a Library of Indian history and ethnography, and embraces within itself the substance of all that is known concerning the tribes as tribes, and the race as a race." ^^ 2229 SCHOMBURGK, Robert H.

The London Times of May 28th, 1855, speaking of this work, says;— "Now one great charm in Mr. Simpson's excellent views of the ' Seat of War in the Crimea' is that the battle subjects are in a decided minority. The artist did not, while making his sketches on the spot, devote his energies to the contem- plation of obscurable smoke and undeHnable masses, but he plunged himself into the varieties of Crimean life, and rather sought for individual objects of sympathy than wasted his affections on compact crowds. If he looks at Sebas- tapol from the deck of a ship, he cares as much, or more, for the sailors on- • board as for the city in the distance; and if he takes you to a battery, it is chiefly; 41 322 H.

A sermon was delivered every yeai- by a Bishop of the Church of England, each of which was accompanied by an abstract of the proceedings of the tfociety and a sketch of its opei-alions. The reports thus annually made present an interesting and tiuthful account of the progress of religion and the state of society in the colonies during the eighteenth century,' and aj-e therefore of great value.

Henry Spelman was the third son of Sir Henry Spelman, the distinguished antiquary, and went to Virginia with five Imndred emigrants in 1609. He is fav. orably mentionedby Captain John Smith in his •• General Sistorie of Virginia," as well as by Stith. It appears that Spelman was on one occasion detained a prisoner by the Indians, and was the only one of the party who escaped death, effected through Pocahontas, and that he lived many years among the Potomacs.

This is the first printed edition of Strabo, with a date, in any language. There are in the Coloplion following the date some verses addressed to the reader, which indicate the printer to be Vindeline de Spira, of Venice. The edition is highly esteemed as a splendid specimen of early printing. See Bibdin's Intro, to the Knowledge of the Classics, 4th ed.. Vol. II., p. 4,'!. Brunet speaks of it as an "Edition prScieuse." We place the volume in an American collection, because Strabo believed in the existence of our continent as a habitable part of the globe. He says, on folio 20, verso, " Nisi maris Atlantioi magnitudo vetar et per eundem parallelum ex Hispania ad Indiam navigare possemus. . . . Vocamus enim habitabilem quam incolimus et notam habemus. Fas autem est in eadem temperata zona Iiabitabiles duas esse; vel etiam plures. Si sit maxirae prope circulum per lit- tora: qui per Atlanticum pelagus describitur." Strabo lived at the time Our Saviour was on earth, and then wrote in regard to the existence of onr continent in this work.— A'b^e by H. C. Murphy. /. S-& 2425 STRABO. The Geography of Strabo.

Paris, Gramoisy, 1666 Tii^venot's "delations de Divers Voyages Curieux," although less exten- sive than the collections of De Bry, Hulsius, and Purchas, is, neverthelees, one of those valuable series of early voyages and travels which were called forth by the great desire of the public in the seventeenth century, to hear of newly ex- plored countries and to read the adventures of travellers in the then little-known East, as well as in the newly discovered Western World. The great bibli- ographers have given extended notices of the work, while Camus has filled a quarto volume of four liundred pages with his Memoires on the Collections of De Bry and Thevenot. Melchizedek Th6venot was a man skilled in the science of his day and in foreign languages. He held positions of high rank under the French govern- ment, and was an enthusiastic collector of rare books and manuscripts, and, in his studies, devoted particular attention to early voyages and travels. Hia tastes and his studies were the incentives that led him to form bis collection; indeed, he seems to have been in all respects such a man as Purchas and Hak- Inyt. The collection published by Thevenot consists of four parts, and embraces a large number of "i^eZaiions" illustrated with maps and plates, each separately paged. 2478 THEYET, Andke.

"The books bears no date, but it is out of question that it was priii!ed in the period 1508-0, the time when all the separate editions of Vespuccius were pub- lished. It is one of the first productions of the famous printer Jan van Does- borgh, at Antwerp, whose publications (principally romances of chivalry with wood-cuts, curious popular books, etc.,) rank among the rarest of the Antwerp printers.

An Englisli transla- tion of this interesting narrative was made by the Hon. Henry C. Murphy, and privately printed by the late James Lenox, of New York, in a quarto volume with an engraved portrait of the author. In his introduction, the translator, in speaking of the author, says : " 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 observations, taken down at the time, they have from this circumstance a value which no narrative formed from memory could possess His relation of tlie 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." / t/S 2650 VRIES, A. de.

It is a tremendous partizan pamplilet, intensely vital even yet, full cf fire, wit, whim, eloquence, sarcasm, invective, patriotism, bigotry. One would have to search long am.ong the rubbish of books thrown forth to the public during those hot and teeming days, to find one more authentically representing the stir, the earnestness, the intolerance, the hope, and the wrath of the times than does this book.— //is*.

" This singular, and as it has been represented, exceedingly copious and versatile language has been made," says Professor Gamraell, "the subject of much curious inquiry among the philologists of our own and of other lands The people who spoke it have long since vanished from the hills and forests of NewEngland; but the language itself has survived them in the pious though humble labors of their benefactors." — Life of Williams.

Descriptionis Ptolemaicse Avg- mentvm, sive Occidentis Notitia. folio, half preen mar, top edge gilt. Lovanii : lohannis Bogardi, 1597 A continuation of "Ptolemy's Geography," by Wytfliet. The first edition was printed in 1597, the maps of which edition are used in the present one. The chief value of the work is in the several maps of America, of which there are eighteen, and two general maps. The map of Estotiland and Labrador, together with the description accompanying, shows tliat the author had full faith in the voyage of the brothers Zeni, as he has also given an existence to the island of Frisland to which they allude. The map of Norumbega and Virginia is equally curious, as it was made while the sea-coast was quite unknown. Long Island Sound is not shown. The Hudson is called the Eio Grande. An island called Claudia (Block Island) to the eastward, was so named by Verazzano, who dis. covered the entrance to the Hudson river in 1532, and is the only place on the coast to which he gave a name. /dfd 2781 WYLFLIET.

The foregoing note is by Mr. Ingraham, to whose library this volume once belonged. It is higlily probable that it was the property of William Penn himself. Yvon, the author, was the head of the Labadists at Wiewert, in Fries- land, after the death of their founder. Wm. Penn visited the community there, and conversed with Yvon, Anna Maria Schurman, and others of its number. A detailed account of this visit and conversation is contained in the account of Penu's travels in Holland and Germany, under date of 12 July, ie77."—JI. C. M. 2795 YUCATAN.

It was translated Into English by P. Duponceau, and published in the Penn- sylvania Historical Collections. Vol. III. "Nothing is known of this author except that his grandfather accompanied Gov. Printz, as his chaplain, to America,.in 1642, and remained here six years as pastpr of the Swedish churches, during which time he learned the Indian languages and translated Luther's Catechism into the Lenapi, which was printed in Stockholm in 1096. It is also known that the father of Campanius was in this country, but in what capacity is not known. The author was never in America. His work is made up from verbal accounts of his father, and notes left by his grandfather, to which he has added facts obtained from the manu- scripts of Peter Lindstrom, an engineer." It is a work of high authority. 2855 CAMUS, A. G-.

He continued his labors by the publication of this volume, which is considered as an abridg- ment of the Great Voya;?es. It emt races a large number of the plates pre. viously used in them. The work is divided into three Parts, of which the First serves as an introduction, containing the history, geography, natural history, etc.,of the New World, taken from the publications of Oviedo, Acosta, Peter Martyr, De Laet, Herrera, and others. The Second Part contains accounts of thirty-three expeditions, or voyages, to America, from Columbus to those of' Spilberg and Schouten. The Tliird and last Part contains a description of the West Indies and Central America, as well as of certain expeditions such as those of Jacob Le Maire and Peter Heyn; an account of the conquests of the Dutch in Brazil; a description of Greenland, Spitzbergen, and otlier northern lands.

" Frarcesco Marchiso and Giovanni Antonio Grimaldo, were sent as envoys to adjust [some ditBculties among the people of Genoa occasioned by a pestilence which took place in 1491.] On their return they established the certainty of the glorious discovery of new land at the west of that kingdom made by Cjikisto- piiEii Columbus, a Genoose, whose name posterity will hold in eternal ven- eration. This man (for I do not think the matter should be overlooked), born of the most obscure parentage, in a town distant twenty miles from our city, on the western sliore, called Cogerio, adopted a sailor's life, rose to be a guide, or pilot of vessels, that traverse the ocean, and with the dexterity of unaided genius and experience in taking the sun by the Pole, acquired by him in those naviga- tions, he came to have so much confidence in himself, that he exposed himself to an enterprise which few others had attempted till now," etc., etc. 2949 INTERNAL Improvements.

Gedruckt op Schotlant huyten Danswyck By Hermes van Loven voor den Autheur, 1611 This volume forms a second part of Van Meteren's History of the Nether- lands. The first part appeared in folio in and comes down to the year 1598. The two were printed together without date, it Is said in 1612, at Amster- dam. This volume was printed by itself, in 1611. This edition of Van Meteren contains the first account of the voyage of - Henry Hudson, in which he discovered the river which bears his name. The author derived it, probably, from the mate of the " Half Moon," which vessel was detained in England on her return, and where Van Meteren was at the time. The passage relating to Hudson's Voyage will be found on fol. 3i6.— B. C. If. This edition, the last that was published by the author with his final addi- tions is exceedingly scarce. Mr. Murphy, in a note on a fly-leaf, says : " I was unable to get this book while I was in Holland, and this copy was sent me ten years after I had left an order while I was there." 3020 MEXICAN.

These letters he immediately translated into Latiii, .. , Y .. . inserting such other accounts as were tiien universally current. And, as he him- self declares, without changing or adding anything, he printed the relation which is now produced, after being lost sight of for nearly four centuries." "The voyage to which this account, refers, is the second, that on which Columbus sailed from Cadiz, on the 25tli September, 1493. The first island he discovered was called Dominica, from the day on which it was seen.' The second was named Maria-Galante, or Volante, after the Admiral's vessel. He then visited in succession Guadaloupe, Santa Cruz, the Island of St. John the Baptist, now Porto Kico, and last of all, Hispanibla, in which he had the previous year founded the fort of the Nativity." 3108 TAMMANY SOCIETY.

Some of the most important private libraries ever collectpri in A^„ • u New JoT.'thT "/' "' "'M ''' ''^'''''^ '^'^^y °' ^^- William Menzies. of Ne« York , the American Library" of the late Mr. George Brinley of Hart ford. Conn., of which the fourth and concluding part is now in preparltion the miscellaneous and international la. collection of the late William Beah Law ^^m; orr°; ? v'^T TV ^^--^^-l^^^^-- H^-y, so rich m le drama, of Mr. J.H V.Arnold; the late Simeon Henry Remsen's library; that ILh L.y°";;L.yo'isdale Governor of Idaho; the library of the late Caleb Fiske Harris, of Providence, Rhode Island, of which the "Americana" portion IS yet to be sold; the extraordinary and extensive library of the late Dr. David King of Newport, and there is still another part unsold ; that of the Hon Will- iam C. Prescott, of Salem, Masssachusetts ; and the library of the late Joseph J Cooke, of Providence, of which the third and " Americana " part will be sold on the third of December next, and following days. All these and numerous others, containing bibliomaniacal treasures of the highest value and greatest rarity, have been distributed among the bibliophiles of this country at a comparatively recent period. And now another is under the sgis of Geo. A. Leavitt & Co.. who will dispose of it about the first of March, 1884. It is the grand collection of the late Hon. Henry C. Murphy, LL.D., of Brooklyn, N. Y., which overtops all others yet sold, in both rarity and' value, in the specialties that make it so remarkable, if not unique. The formation of this hbrary was the labor of a long life, and it comprises the rarest books in the department generally known as AMERICANA that have ever been offered for sale in the United States, or even in Europe. *** By birth, instinct, environment and culture, Mr. Murphy was naturally the col- lector of a library such as he gathered together, and of which his life-long friend, the eminent author and bibliographer, the Hon. John Russell Bartlett, ex-Secre- tary of State of Rhode Island, is now compiling the catalogue. Mr. Henry C. Murphy was born in Brooklyn, Long Island, July 5, 1810 and died there December l, 1882. His paternal grandfather, a physician, settled in the State of New Jersey, in Monmouth County, nearly one hundred and. twenty years ago. He was a member of the Colonial Council, the representative in the Assembly of the province, and a soldier of the American Revolution. The son of this patriot, Mr. Murphy's father, settled in Brooklyn, of which city he was a Justice of the Peace, a Judge of the Municipal Court, and a School Commissioner. But his memory is most endeared to the citizens of Brooklyn by the fact of his having been one of the promoters of their first public school in 1816. His eldest son, the late Henry C. Murphy, was educated at the High School of New York, from which he went to Columbia College, where he o-raduated with honors when he was twenty years old. In the words of another: — "Of a Brooklyn ancestry older than the city of Brooklyn ; of an American ancesl;ry antedating the Revolution ; receiving from his father the blood of the land distinguished for the brilliancy of her children and the desolation of her liberties, and from his mother the blood of the Dutch burghers who brought to the New World the noblest traditions of the Old, Henry C. Murphy began his career equipped as few have the good fortune to be, to do valiant service in the battle of life. With a sound collegiate education; with traditions of the best kind to hold him in the paths of honor ; and with a prospect opened by the hands of friends to stir his ambition, he would have been an unworthy son had, he not shown an early disposition to make the best use of the talents and advantages committed to his keeping." Mr. Henry C. Murphy studied law with the Hon. Peter W. Radcliffe, and after three years' earnest work was admitted to the bar in 1833. The year following he was made Assistant Corporation Counsel of Brooklyn. A little later he became City Attorney, and still later Counsel to the Corporation of the newly evolved "city" of Brooklyn. Fifty years ago, and young as he was then, he had become a power in State pohtics. An early friend and associate of his in Kings County, referring to this phase of his early life, says: — "Murphy was educated, and he was exactly the man wanted. Hence from the beginning he was greatly deferred to, and was a prominent figure, being recognized as a scholar in politics." It was this which marked him out as a rising man to the leading Brooklyn lawyer of that time, Counsellor John A. Lott, with whom he went into partner- ship, the name of their law firm being "Lott, Murphy & Vanderbilf." When thirty-two years old he was elected Mayor^of the City of Brooklyn on the Democratic ticket. In 1843 Mr. Murphy's political career was enlarged from his "pent-up"' place of nativity to Washington, when he was chosen a Member of the Twenty-eighth Congress of the United States. He was, however, defeated for a second Congressional term and his labors temporarily ended in the House of Representatives on March 4, 1845. But he was re-elected in 1846 to Congress "by the largest vote ever previously polled in his district." • In 1852 Mr. Murphy nearly became the Democratic candidate for the Presi- dency of the United States, when the Virginia delegation, at the Baltimore Con- vention, considered him and Franklin Pierce as the best men available for the highest office in the gift of the American people. President Buchanan, as a reward for his zealous services to his party and as a recognition of his abilities, appointed him United States Minister to Holland. He remained at the Hague until the coming into office of President Lincoln, who recalled him. Mr. Murphy was elected in 1861, and five times successively afterward, to the New York State Senate. He was a State Senator for twelve consecutive years. It was under his auspices, as President of the East River Bridge Company, that the greatest triumph of modern engineering genius, the New York and Brooklyn Bridge, was begun and completed. He was also the President of the Brooklyn, Flatbush and Coney Island Railroad, until his death in 1882. 5 Mr Murphy's highest claim to recognition is not as a statesman, but as a littSi'ateur and b.bhophile. He was a journalist and author of repute. When in his twenty-second year, he was the principal editorial writer of the "Brooklyn Advocate and Nassau Gazette." For many years he was one of the leading contributors to the " North American Review," as well as the "Democratic Review." He was the founder and proprietor of the "Brooklyn Daily Eagle and Kings County Democrat" in October, 1841, and was associated in its editorship with Richard Adams Locke, author of the "Moon Hoax." While United States Minister at the Hague, he wrote a series of some thirty-five letters to that newspaper, which were copied all over in the exchanges. His contri- butions to the "Historical Magazine'' were continuous and attracted great attention. He was no selfish lover of literature for his own sake. It seemed to be his greatest- desire to benefit others as well as himself Thus, while a young man, he was the principal founder of the "Young Men's Literary. Association of Brooklyn," and when it changed its name to the "Hamilton Literary Associa- tion of Brooklyn " he was elected its first president. In 1839 Mr. Murphy was a trustee and one of the organizers of the " Brooklyn City Library," and a year later was also a trustee of the " Brooklyn Apprentices' Library," upon its reorganization. In 1863 he was one of the initial founders of the "Long Island Historical Society." Among his personal literary labors should be named his edition and transla- tion of De Vries' "Voyage from Holland to America, 1632-1644;" "Broad Advice to the New Netherlands," which he attributed to CorneHus Melyn ; his " First Minister of the Dutch Reformed Church in the United States," dated at the Hague, April i, 1858; his seventy-tyo-page work, published 1859, entitled "Henry Hudson in Holland" ; his edition for the Long Island Historical Society of Dankers and Sluyter's "Journal of a Voyage to New York and a Tour in Several of the American Colonies in 1679-80 " ; and his memoir of the bibliophile Herman Ernst Ludewig for the New England Memorial Biographies. 'Mr. Murphy's two most important works were "The Anthology of the New Netherlands, " of which only 208 pages were printed for the Bradford Club, and his monograph entitled " The Voyage of Verrazano," which the late JoelMunsell, of Albany, printed for him. The best life of Mr. Murphy yet written is from the pen of his friend, the well-known author, Dr. Henry R. Stiles. It consists of a paper read before the New York Genealogical and Biographical Society and which takes some twenty- four pages of the January (1883) number of the valuable quarterly "Record" of that society. The steel portrait which accompanies the memoir, is the same as that which appears on the title of these few pages, but which is not equal in force and character to the very spirited bust executed for the family within the past twelve months by the celebrated New York sculptor D. B. Sheahan. * * ' * . Dr. Stiles speaks as follows respecting the library of Mr. Murphy, after refer- ring to a printed catalogue of a portion of it made by its owner in 1863 : "Between its publication in 1853, and i860, in which year Mr. Murphy's col- lection was included in Dr. Wynne's 'Private Libraries of America,' it had ipcreased to ' over five thousand volumes, fully three-quarters of which relate to the peculiar topic of his researches.' Dr. Wynne also says that ' the library may be divided into four classes — one, relating to early American history ; one to local American history; one to later American history ; and the last of a miscellaneous character, each of which embraces about a quarter of the whole. It is exception- ally irich in volumes remarkable for their rarity. He procured, for example, forty of the very scarce ' Jesuit Relations de ce qui s'est [passe] dans la Nouvelle France. ' Then there are the early New England tracts by Eliot, Shepard, Winslow [Cotton], and Whitfield, published in 1643 and 1659, with all of their quaint titles, such as ' First Fruits,' ' The Day Breaking of the Gospel, if not the Sun Rising with the In- dians of New En^and,' etc. Of these the rarest, since there is but one other copy, is ' Some Helps for the Indians in the New Haven Colony,' by Abraham Pierson, a Puritan clergyman, afterward one of the founders of Newark, New Jersey. Mo- lina's 'Vocabulario en Lengua Mexicana,' published at Mexico, in 1571, and a copy of that rarest of all American books, the first edition of Colden's ' History of the Five Nations,' published in N;ew York in 1727; Penhallow's Indian Wars ; ' 'Doolittle's Narrative Indian Wars on the Western Frontier of Massachusetts,' published in 1750; [Mason's] ' History of the ^Pequot War.' [John Smith's ' Historie of Virginia,' 1624 ; Van der Donck's ' Description of New Netherland, 1655.] The whole of the collection relative to Indian history and philology is rare and rarely to be met with either in American or European collections. His copy of the ' Vocabulary of Indian Language, ' by Roger Williams, once belonged to the poet Southey, and has his autograph. Relative to early colonization, there are the three folio volumes of ' Ramusio,' with maps, the first published in Ven- ice, in 1559, the second in 1563, and the third in 1565 ; ' Eden's Decades of Peter Martyr,' 1555; 'Eden's Travels,' completed by Willes; 1577 ; DeBry's 'Grands et Petits Voyages,' of the first edition, with 'Hakluyt' of the editions of 1589 and 1599. Also to be found in this collection is the ' Cosmographia Introductio insuper quattuor Americi Vespucci Navigationes, St. Dig, 1507.' One cannot, however, enumerate the many rare and valuable volumes in his library." * It is well to state further and more particularly that in general geography, voyages and travels, which were Mr. Murphy's specialties, the library is unusually . large, and comprises the collections of DeBry, Ram'usio, Hakluyt, Purchas, Gry- nseus, Th^venot, Commelin, and Abelyn. Of the early editions of Ptolemy's " Cosmographia," the collection is not sur- passed in the United States. It comprises more than twenty editions of the famous geographer, printed between the years 1462 and 1600. Besides these are the works of other noted geographers, as Strabo, Pomponius Mela, Abulfeda Edrisi, Apian, Ortelius, Mercator, and Munster. The more recent geographers are also represented. New France and Canada are conspicuous. Among works on this widely ex- tended region are the " Jesuit Relations," in forty-two volumes, probably the most Complete set of these valuable books ever offered for sale either In Europe or America. In the same department will be found the writings of Sagard, Lescar- bot, Champlain, LeClercq, Charlevoix, Hennepin, and LaHontan. New Netherland,, embracing portions of New York and New Jersey, is prob- ably the most complete of any department. Mr. Murphy was learned in the Dutch language and literature, and no book or pamphlet that related directly or indirectly to the Dutch and Swedish settlements in North America is known that is not to be found in the collection. In the early tracts on New England, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Louisiana, the collection is well represented. Books on the Indian Languages are numerous, and include Dictionaries, Grammars, Vocabularies, unpublished manuscripts, and both editions of Eliot's " Indian Bible and New Testament." Among the early Spanish and Dutch writers are the " Letters of Cortes " and the works of Peter Martyr, Las Casas, Acosta, Benzoni, Cie9a, Gomara, Herrera, Linschoten, DeLaet, Oviedo, Thevet, Zarate, Van der Donck, De Vries and Usselincx. Last, but not least of the rarities in the collection, are copies of the "Colum- bus Letter " of 1493 ; •' Cosmographise Introductio St. Die," 1507 ; " PassiNova- mente,"Milan, 1508 : D'Ailly's "Imago Mundi," Paris, 1490; and Sir Humphrey Gilbert's " Discovery for a New Passage to Cathay, London, 1576." Among the miscellaneous books are the Archseologia, or Miscellaneous Tract, relating to Antiquity, published by the Antiquarian Society of London, forty-two vols. ; The British Poets, Riverside Edition, 135 vols., crown octavo, large paper ; Botta and Flandin's Monumens de Nin^ve, printed at the National Printing Office, Paris, five vols., atlas folio ; Layard's Nineveh, two vols., atlas folio ; Chi- nese Repository, complete, twenty vols., octavo ; Harleian Miscellany, edited by T. Park, ten vols., quarto. The last of the gems in the collection to which attention should be called are the original autograph letters of the " Signers of the Declaration of Independ- ence," all remarkably fine specimens. * * * Such is the library which Mr. Murphy, one of the most ardent bibliophiles of this country and century, collected together. And in such a collection as this, that early of the early bibliomaniacs, the younger Pliny, found an unwearying source of pleasure and relief, for he wrote: "I am quite transported and comforted in the midst of my books; they give a zest to the happiest and assuage the anguish of the bitterest moments of exist- ence ! Therefore, whether distracted by the cares or the losses of my family or my friends, I fly to my library as the only refuge in distress; here I learn to bear adversity with fortitude." . „ „ New.
