Author of— "Titles of the First Books from the Earliest Presses in Europe before the End of the Fifteenth Century, with Brief Notes upon their Printers," etc. NEW YORK : GEORGE A. LEAVITT AND CO., 787 AND 789 Broadway. March, 1887. -sident White ,, Library " Thus our time may we pass with rare books and rare friends, Growing wiser and better till life itself ends: And may those who delight not in black letter lore, By some obsolete act be sent far from our shore." —J. M. As if there had been ringing in the ears of General Rush C. Hawkins the words of " Titus Andronicus" — " Come and make choyse of all my Library,'' And, as if he deemed it a duty to act in accordance with that suggestion of " Shakespeare, " this brave soldier — who erstwhile was "eueninthe Canon's mouth " — determined to ' issue a general invitation to the world of book-lovers to take their pick and eat their fill of his literary treasures. The word of command was given to make a roster of his books. And this ' ' Catalogue of the Hawkins Library " is the result. An unpretentious effort in bibliographi'cal perlustration of the thousands of tomes of its bibliognostic owner, who is remembered from civil war times by all Americans as the author of " Hawkins' Zouaves " and is recognized by the inner circle of select bibliophiles as the savant compiler of — ' ' Titles of the First Books from the Earliest Presses^ EstabWshed in Different Cities, Towns and Monasteries in Europe before the End of the fifteenth Century, with Brief ■ Notes upon their Printers." » # * The "Hawkins Library" has been styled " Eibliotheca Extraordinariss- ima." What I have catalogued is only a part, the larger portion numerically, and which with the balance conserved, make up an unit that our Dominie Sampsons would call truly "prodigious !" We have, however, only to consider the rations served out by order of the General. * * * The " Hawkins Library Catalogue " has been arranged in five divisions as follows: I. Bibhotheca Americana, including Discoveries of North, Central and South America ; Cosmography ; Voyages and Travels ; Indian Aborigines ; Colonial, State and Local Histories; Wars of American Revolution, 1812, Florida and Mexico, also the Civil War ; Statesmanship and Economic s ; Biography and Miscellaneous Americana Numbers i to 12 11 II. Drama and Poetry, inclusive of Shakespeareana. Numbers 1212 to 1530 III. Illuminated Vellum Manuscripts, etc Numbers 1531 to 1584 IV. Incunabula and Black Letters Numbers 1585 to 1754 V. Varia Literaria, comprising Art, Galleries, Facetiae, Curiosa, Biogra- phy, Science, Natural History, Bibliography, Travels, Fiction, History and other Miscellanea, including a Very Important Collection of Eighteenth Century French Literature Numbers 1755 to 2578 PROEM. HI The "Americana "—comprising over twelve hundred numbers and the alpha- betically arranged "First Division" of this bibliography — represent a diversified collection. The whole combined leaves nothing wanting for the student who desires information upon any of the phases of the history and vicissitudes of America from the time of the discovery of the Continent by the great Genoese navigator, if not during prehistoric, aboriginal conditions. Some of the earliest and rarest Americana in existence will be found in the Hawkins Library. Thus I have described in the following pages such nuggets as: — The celebrated " Giustiniani Polyglot Psalter," printed in 1516 at Genoa, but rigidly suppressed by the Senate of that Italian . Republic on account of con- taining libels upon Columbus and which are found in the first life of that dis- coverer, inserted in the Bishop's commentary on the Nineteenth Psalm ; Vadian's edition of " Dionysius Afer," Vienna, 1515; Amerigo Vespucci's 1509 edition of his " Voyages " and the first book in which it was proposed to give the name of "America" to the newly discovered land; the excessively rare 1520 edition of Solinus containing the earliest engraved map of America — also the 1543 Basle edition of the same author including the eleventh chapter of Pomponius Mela on the Islands of the Atlantic; Apian's "Cosmographia," the 1524 and 1553 editions with revolving diagrams on which is the word "America" and with the well-known fourth chapter in which this renowned geographer states that Vespucci was the actual discoverer; Bordone's " Isolario " with plan of the City of Mexico and maps of the West Indian Islands, etc. — both the Venetian editions of 1528 and 1547, the former being the original; a copy belonging to Catherine de Bourbon, Henry the Fourth's sister, of the 1532 Cologne "De Insulis Nuper " of Fernando Cortes in which are letters by the First Bishop of Mexico, Juan Zumarraga, Peter Martyr and others; Vadian's "Epitome," printed at Zurich in 1534, with references to America; the three volumes of the 1534 Venice edition of Peter Martyr, published under the auspices of Ramusio; the collection of Grynaeus printed at Basle in 1537 and containing the "Voyages" of Columbus, Vespucci, Varthema, Peter Martyr, etc.; two of the 1552 Seville tracts of the good Bishop Las Casas of Chiapa, in favor of the persecuted aborigines; the 1553 Antwerp " Cosmographia " of Gemma Frisius; Zarate's "History of Peru," printed at Venice in 1563; the " Isole Piv "of Porcacchi— both the 1572 and 1576 Venice editions, with American maps and plans; Acosta's " Botany of the Indies," Venice, 1585; Antoine Colin's "Drugs of the Indies," Lyons, 1602; the " De Bry Voyages"; the 1653 Elzevir edition of Campanella; Robert de Berqven's "Wonders of the Indies," Paris, 1669; the 1697 and 1704 editions of the "Voyage and New Discovery" of Father Hen- nepin; etc. The Mexican, Guarani, Huasteca, Otomi and Carib indigenous American dialects are explained in copies of the works of Arenas, Paredes, Brasseur-de- Bourbourg, Perez, Ruiz-de-Montoya, Tapia-Zenteno, Yepes and Breton. Later Discoveries in the New World appear in books like: — the original 1703 edition of the " Voyages of Baron Lahontan " ; the very rare " Voyage to New France" of Diere'ville, printed at Amsterdam in 1710; Father Gage's " Voyages in New Spain," the 1721 Amsterdam edition; and the 1771 Paris edition of Herrera, that " Prince of Historians." The " Colonial and State Histories " of our Republic are very strong in the Hawkins Library. Among the rarer of these are: — Beverly's "History of Virginia" — the London edition of 1705 and the French translation of 1707 Lawson's rare quarto works on Carolina, printed at London in 1709 and 1718; IV PROEM. Thomas Prince's " Chronological History of New England," Boston, 1736; some valuable sermons preached on behalf of the infant Colony of Georgia and pub- lished as early as 1730; Brickell's "Natural History of North Carolina," 1737; the rare 1747 London edition of Cadwallader Colden's "Five Indian Nations "; the original edition of Smith's " History of New York," London, 1757; Roberts's "Account of Florida," London, 1763; Isaac Backus's "History of New England,'' printed 1777-96; the " History of Vermont," by Samuel Williams, 1794, also many rare and early Vermont imprints; Robert Proud's " History Of Pennsylvania," printed at Philadelphia, 1797 and 1798; Haywood's very rare " History of Tennessee," Knoxville, 1823; and a large paper copy of Baylies's " Historical Memoir of the Colony of New Plymouth." Anent this department are various collections of State Historical Societies, including a — "Certificate of One Share of Stock in the Publication Fund of the New York Historical Society. '" ' 'American Poetry " will be found in: — many original editions presented by their authors to the late Bayard Taylor ; Mrs. Mercy Warren's " Poems," Boston, 1790 ; several rare editions of Philip Freneau, printed at the end of the last cen- tury ; and the extremely rare first and second editions of William CuUen Bryant's first published volume, the " Embargo "1 printed at Boston in the years 1808 and 1809. The " American Revolution," its heroes and statesmen, have a considerable exhibit. There are : — rare editions of Thomas Paine ; the " Peter Porcupine " controversial brochures; Baron Steuben's "Army Regulations,'' New York, 1787 ; John Drayton's " Memoirs of the American Revolution," as well as the " Tour " of the same, Charleston, 1794 ; an unique volume of Ramsay, full of his manuscript corrections ; some ' ' Frankliniana " of rarity, including ' ' Poor Richard's Almanac" printed by the American patriot in 1749 ; twenty numbers of " WasWngtoniana, '' inclusive of " the Journal of Major George Washington " printed at London in 1754 ; and much curious and scandalous " Hamiltoniana, " also the New York 1788 excessively rare first collected edition of " The Feder- alist. " The " Civil War," in which General Hawkins played a noteworthy part, is brought to mind by a quantity of original printed documents issued by the Con- federate President, members of his Cabinet and the Rebel Congress, as well as schoolbooks and bonds put forth by the Southern States during their struggle for the dismemberment of the Nation. " Drama and Poetry, inclusive of Shakespeareana," is the title of the " Second Division " of the Catalogue and are particularly rich. In the nearly three hundred and twenty alphabetized numbers are early quarto plays — mostly first editions from the Burton Library — Early and Modern English Poetry, besides superb French Poetical Erotica. The earliest example of the " Elizabethan Drama" in the Collection is the extremely rare black letter tragedy of " King Cambises " by Thomas Preston and imprinted at London when the ' ' Bard of Avon " was a six-year-old boy — " creeping like snail unwillingly to school." Of " Rare Ben Jonson " there are two copies of his own first collected edition printed in 1616, one with the 1641 "second folio " added, also an A. D. 1600 " first quarto " of his " Euery Man Ovt of His Hvmor." Other Early Drama of his and Shakespeare's period are : — Marlowe's " Tamburlaine,'' London, 1606 ; Marston's " Fawne," of the same year ; the remarkably rare " TragedTe PROEM. V of Caesar and Pompey," acted at Oxford in 1607 ; Markham and Machin's " Dumbe Knight," London, 1608 ; William Smith's extremely rare " Hector of Germany," London, 1615; Holyday's " Mariages of the Arts," London, 1618; Randolph's " Mvses Looking Glasse and Amyntas, a pastoral acted at White- hall," Oxford, 1638 ; and two copies of the 1647 " first folio" of the " Come- dies and Tragedies of Beavmont and Fletcher," also several " first quartos " of the same dramatists. Carlell, Chamberlain, Chapman, Dabom, Davenport, Dekker, Ford, Glapthorne, Gwinne, Haywood and Rowly, Killigraew, Mass- inger. Mead, Shirley and Webster are also among the Early and Elizabethan Drama in the shape of very rare quartos. "Shakespearean A " counts some forty members: — Rowe's Shakespeare,which has the merit of being the fifth, the first illustrated and first small edition of the poet's works ; the 1807 reprint of the first folio ; Richard Grant White's edition and the 1823 Chiswick edition are among the collected plays. The very rare "second quarto" of " Loue's Labour's Lost" of 1631 and the very scarce reprint of the first quarto " Hamlet " are included in the separate dramas. The rarest of the Shakespeareana is, however, " The Retume from Parnassus " printed at London in 1606 in Shakespeare's lifetime and containing allusions to him. The Shakespeare Society's publications, the first edition of Lamb's ' ' Tales from Shakespeare, " illustrated by William Blake, as well as the first American edition, Philadelphia, 1813, and Samuel Ireland's " Picturesque Views on the Warwickshire Avon " should be noted. " Restoration and Later Dramatists " have original quartos and editions of : — Beckingham, Behn, Boyle, Carpenter, Cartwright, Cary, Cibber, Congreve, Dennis, Digby, Dilke, Dryden, Etherege, Freeman, Goff, Gould, Granville, Higgons, "the Berkshire" Howards, Killigrew, Nat. Lee, Lillo, Middleton, Motteaux, Murphy, Neville, Powell, Quarles, Rowe, Sedley, Southeme; Steele, Trotter, Vanbrugh and Wilson. The " Biography of the Stage and Drama " includes lives of — Bellamy, Con- greve, Cooke, Comeille, Cumberland, Edwin, Forrest, Holcroft, Holland, Jordan, Kotzebue, Mellon, Mowatt, Payne, Reynolds and Weston — also a delightful, extra-illustrated and unique copy of Percy Fitzgerald's " Life of David Garrick,'' extended to four volumes and bound by Zaehnsdorf. The " Early Enghsh Poetry'' can be said to commence with " the well of English undefiled " in the shape of a grand copy of the black letter 1602 edition of Chaucer. The first and second folios of the collected edition of Edmund Spenser's works, i. e., of i6ii and 1617 are good examples. There are also copies of : — the first edition of the works of John Taylor " the water poet,' London, 1630 ; Fulke Greville, Lord Brooke's " Learned and Elegant Works,'' the "squat folio " of 1633 ; Sir John Harington's very rare'translation in folio of " Orlando Furioso," London, 1634 ; the Duke of Sussex's copy of Alexander Brome's "Songs and Poems," London, 1668 ; Sir William Davenant's works, the first edition, London, 1672-73 ; John Oldham's " Poems," London, 1683-84; and " Miltoniana," including the extremely rare first edition of the poet's " Tenure of Kings and Magistrates," an apology for the execution of Charles Stuart. " Modern Poetry" contains some " Burnsiana," thirteen numbers of " Byron- iana,'' a large paper copy of Glover's " Leonidas," also editions of : — Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Cowley, Cowper, Dibdin, Gay, Goethe, Goldsmith, Halleck, Herbert, Hood, Locker, Lover, Pope, Porter, Rogers, Schiller, Scott, Tasso and Tennyson, as well as biographies of Campbell, Moore, Savage and Petrarch. A remarkable portion of the " Second Division " of the Catalogue is the vi PROEM. " French Poetry, mostly Erotica." Among these are: — a magnificent copy of the original and beautiful "Farmers General " edition of La Fontaine, in unrivalled condition with brilliant impressions of Eisen's plates and bound by ChamboUe- Duru ; Jean Chapelain's "La Pucelle " Paris, 1650; the original of Delille's " Jardins," printed by Didot in 1782 ; a superb set of Lemonnyer's limited reprints of the " Conteurs Francais," six volumes, illustrated by Duplessis-Bertaux ; two copies of the exquisite Lemonnyer edition of ' ' Les Baisers " of Dorat, both large paper, one of which is on Japan paper ; a sumptuous copy of Laborde's " Chan- sons " with the music, limited Japan paper reprint of the 1773 edition ; De Faure's " Quatre Heures," Duboisson's " Tableau de la Volupte," and Pezay's " Zelis au Bain, " each being number five, of ten copies oil Japan paper by Rouveyre and like most of these last named, in the very best reliure of Pagnant of Paris. The " Drama and Poetry " also comprise: — the grand Hexaglot of Virgil's " Georgics "; Parke's "Original Poems and Lyric Works of Horace"; two works of Costume on large paper ; the Latin Priapic poems entitled ' ' Eroto- psegnion," Paris, 1798; Thomas Morley's sixteenth century " Ballads " with Elizabethan music, printed at London in 1595; and " Comedie Moderne," a rare volume on the stage, formerly the property of King Louis the Fifteenth. * « The " Third Division" of the Hawkins Catalogue consists of nearly sixty numbers of "Illuminated Vellum Manuscripts, etc." They make an extraordinary collection — painstaking in script, lovely in color, and bright with gold. These examples of book-making before the invention of printing throw a " Moyen Age " halo of the genuine olden time on the Library, which, strong as it is in other departments, is by the association of this Unique Division transformed into a complete gathering of the book-clans. These beautifully illuminated manuscripts were principally executed during the ppriodof the Renaissance and comprise specimens of the Italian, Burgundian, French and German schools of mediaeval miniature painting and floriated orna- mentation. A peculiar feature of this array of vellum tomes is the strange fact that over half of them come from the library of one ancient monastic institution. These make up a set of what General Hawkins styles " Hymn Books of the Middle Ages," and embrace "Hours," "Offices," " Antiphonaries," "Obse- quiales,'' " Ceremdniales " and a number of " Psalters " used at their religious services by the members of this conventual community over four-hundred years ago. These venerable volumes are all on vellum and mostly in the original bindings. There are two folio " Antiphonales " of later date, one of the Seven- teenth and another of the Eighteenth Century, the last named being according to the" Benedictine Use" as well as a very remarkable religio-grotesque " Horas" finished in 1622, with nearly three hundred illuminated borders and miniatures of humorous and Scriptural character most fantastically intermingled. But what the owner deems the treasure of his whole Library, is the wonderful and complete set of folio " Choir-Books" of this South-German religious house. These have been valued at several thousands of dollars and consist of two , " Antiphonaria," a " Hymnarium Ecclesiae Romanse," an " Officia Sanctorum " and an " Officiale Omnium Sanctorum." They are uniform in illumination, script, music and binding. Every volume stands nearly two feet in height The condition of the vellum is superb and the many miniatures, each nearly six inches square, are glorious specimens of colors and gold. The smaller colored capitals, of which there are thousands, are weird and eccentric master-pieces of PROEM. vii caricature. At the commencement of two of the volumes are unique distemper paintings — one depicting, amid saints and nuns, the donor of these remarkable manuscripts which were purchased in the City of Nuremburg about the year 1490. There are other " Hours of the B. V. M.," and Ecclesiastical Offices obtained by the General from different sources. Among these are: — a very fine Fifteenth Century French " Hours," with handsome and curious page minia- tures; a splendid mediaeval German Missal on vellum, with twelve miniatures and hundreds of colored capitals, heightened with gold; a Fifteenth Century Catholic "Offices "from a Mexican convent; a sumptuous black letter " Heures de Troyes,'' printed by Geoffrey de Marnef, at Paris in 1488 and on vellum, with numerous illuminations painted by hand, in gold and colors; and a Hardouin illuminated vellum " Hours " issued in 1505. The "Third Division" has many other bibliophilistic gems such as: — a Fifteenth Century manuscript German " Recht-Buch "; an early Fifteenth Century curious will and codicil made by an Italian traveler about to voyage beyond the seas; an autograph cheque of George Washington; Gunner's beautiful f ac-simile of the ' ' Heures " of Maistre Estienne Chevalier, executed by Jehan Foucquet; and three veritable examples of American illuminational work, of Hispaiio-Mexican origin and written centuries ago. * * * Nothing to be compared with the "Fourth Division" of the Hawkins Catalogue has ever been offered for sale, in such quantity and quality, in America. These " Incunabula, Black Letters and Fifteenth, Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century Tomes" with then: ' ' meadows of margin and rivers of text" remind one most forcibly of the lines of Austin Dobson — " Not as ours, the books of old, Things that steam can stamp and fold; Not as ours, the books of yore. Rows of type and nothing more. *' Then a book was still a book Where a wistful man might look. ," Very few public libraries in this country can show such a muster of early printed books as are described in the following pages. Two volumes printed by Gutenberg, one published by FUst but printed by Schoeffer, and two printed by Schoeffer after the death of his two patrons, can very rarely be found together in one private library. Yet they honor the Hawkins Collection. All bibliographical authorities unite in agreeing that the volume of the ' ' Statutes of the Archbishopric of Mayence " was printed by the inventor of the art typographic about the year 1455, and there can be little doubt that the black letter "Sifridus" which commences the H.-iwkins Incunabula was also im- printed about the same time by John Gutenberg. The colophon of the 1466 " Cicero " states positively that it was set up by Peter Schoeffer himself, and that Fust published this nugget of printing. It should not be overlooked by those who may be interested in this portion of the Collection that about a month ago a London book-dealer asked twenty-six thousand two hundred and fifty dollars in one of his catalogues for a copy of FUst and Schoeffer's " Psalter" of 1459, which is a far rarer work than even the Gutenberg or " Mazarine Bible." The other books printed by Schoeffer will be found on pages 2i8 and 224 of this bibliography. Both bear the name viii PROEM. of Gutenberg's associate in the colophon, below which is the time-honored typo- graphical device of Fust and Schoefler. The printers who followed the founders of the art at Mayence are in great plentitude in the one hundred and seventy chronologically arranged numbers of the " Fourth Division." They exhibit a wonderful diversity of types and show the evolution of the old Gothic letter into the chaste Venetian and bold Roman. Some of the volumes illustrate the hankering of their owners to tread in the old paths, and we find many with capitals and borders in gold and colors, just as they were in the vellum paleographical books of Mediaevalism. Others are rich with printed floriated initials and xylographic cuts of the early Fif- teenth Century woodblock order. There are quite a number of volumes from the famed collection of the late Dr. George Kloss of Frankfort-on-the-Main and some are rebound by modern bibliopegists like Roger Payne and Rousselle, one being an 185 1 exhibition prize binding, while the larger portion are left in their antique covers of well-worn leather on sturdy oak. There are in this Division some of the earliest imprints of the following places : — Amsterdam, Anvers, Augsburg, Basle, Bologna, Cologne, Cremona, Delft, Deventer, Eichstadt, Esslingen, Ferrara, Florence, Haguenau, Leyden, Louvain, Lyons, Mantua, Memmingen, Milan, Nuremburg, Paris, Pavia, Reggio, Rome, Salamanca, Strasburg, Treviso, Turin, Venice, Vicenza, Ulm and ZwoU, The more important printers represented are : — Nicholas Alamanuca, Paulus Manutius Aldus, John de Ammerbach, Bernardinus Benalius; Dionysius Bertoch, Bartholomew Brusch, Matthew Capcasus, John de Cerito, John de Colonia, John Cleyn, Frederic Creusner, John Crespin, John Crugher, Carolus A. Dar- leriis, Charles Estienne vel Stephanus, John Fabri, Jefian Frellon, Conrad Fyner, Galliot du Pre, Philip Giunta, John Manthen de Geretzen, Henry Grau, Bartho- lomew Grevius, Heinrich Heinrich, Wolfgang Hopyl, Louis Hornken, Jacob Jacobzoon Van der Meer, Claude Jammar, Nicholas Jenson, Thielman Ker- ver, Henry Kifer, John Kolhoff, Albert Kunne de Duderstadt, George Lauer, Herman Lichtenstein, Michael Manger, Michael Manzol, John Mentelin, Alex- ander Minuticinus, Mischomini, Francis Nierg, Renald de Novimagio, Peter Os, Leonard Pachel, Richard Pafraet, Jehan Petit, Philip Pincius, Paul de Pllzpach, Henry Quentell, Ehrard Ratdolt, Francois Regnault, George Reyser, Francis Renner, Theodoricus de Reynsburch, Michael Ryser, Henry Sancto Urso, Ulric Seinzencdller, Octavian Scotus, John Sensenschmidt, Eucharius Silber, John Soter, Thomas Soubron, Vindelinus de Spira, Antonio de Strata, Baptist de Tortis, John de Tridino, Bartholomew Unckle, Leonard Unild, Laurence de Valencia, John Veldener, John of Westphalia, Gunther Zainer, John Zainer, Bartholomew de Zanis, Antonio Zarotus, Ulric Zell and Damian Zennaro. That celebrated family of typothetse, the Elzevirs, exhibit some twelve im- prints published at Leyden and Amsterdam between the years 1622 and 1662. Martial, Palladius, Plautus, Hippocrates and Plato are, in each instance, the ' ' editio princeps. " In such a mass of typographical curiosities, it is impossible to particularize all those which deserve special mention. All are honestly described, and in the Catalogue — into which I have woven many bibliographical points — is carefully told the separate story of the various numbers. It may be well, however, to state that among the more interesting examples in this Unique Collection are : — the extremely rare first edition printed at Flor- ence in i486 of the " Morals of St. Gregory," including a remarkable metal por- trait of that pontiff ; the first edition of the Emperor Justinian's " De Tortis " ; PROEM. ix the 6rst book printed at Nuremburg and bound by Roger Payne ; the first vol- ume having Hebrew characters ; the first book printed at Wurzburg ; the big- gest volume printed in the Fifteenth Century ; the first edition of "Euclid," which is the first book printed with woodcut diagrams ; the first book with a Memmingen imprint; the 1483 " Chronicle of Eusebius," containing a reference to Gutenberg as the inventor of printing and which authority has been neglected by bibliographers ; the " Cologne Missal," printed by John de Lubeck, the friend of William Caxton ; the Giunta and Sotherini 15 12 edition of Josephus, in Italian ; the 1517 Milan " Stephanus Niger," dedicated to John Grolier and with complimentary verses to that famous bibliognoste ; Galliot du Pre's 1529 Virgil " in handsome, contemporary, Grolieresque reliure ; the excessively rare first " French History " printed at Paris in 1528, with curious illustrations and the author of which was NicoUe Gilles ; John Crespin's magnificent 1529 edition of "Virgil " profusely illustrated and bound by Clsessens; the 1569 Stras- burg edition in German of Sebastian Brandt's " Ship of Fools " ; the very rare 1570 bibelot of " Rabelais " bound by Eeuhaes ; a fine copy of the very scarce "Breeches Bible " printed at London in 1599 and charmingly bound by De Coverly ; and the first edition of Vecellio's " Costumes " with the designs of the great Italian painter Titian vel Tiziano Vecelli — and superbly bound in the style of Grolier. There are also some rare works on the Mediaeval Israelites and of Oriental Polemics, as well as others on Astrology and Alchemy. Some of the most popular authors read by the profoundly learned students living in the first century of printing, will be found in this Incunabulic Division, viz.: — yEgidius Romanus, .lEneas Sylvius, Albertus Magnus, St. Ambrose, Bishop John Andreas, St. Antoninus, Applanus, St. Augfustine, Balbus, Beroal- dus, Boccaccio, St. Bonaventure, St. Bruno, Archbishop Campanus, Robert di Carracciolo, Baldesar Castiglione, Diogenes Laertius, Diomedes, Giustiniani, St. Jerome, Jovius, Justin, Lascaris, Peter Lombard, the Carthusian Ludolf , Nich- olas de Lyra, Martianus, Antonio Mancinelli, Michael of Hungary, John Nider, Ovid, Petrarch, Francis Philelphus, Pomponius Lastus, Pomponius Mela, Pru- dentius, George Purbach, Rolevinck, Sabellicus, Sallust, Seneca, Sextus Rufus, Battista Spagnuoli, Tacitus, St. Thomas Aquinas, Turrecremata, Ubaldus, J. P. Valerianus, Franciscus Venturinus, Vitruvius, Gerard Vliederhoven, James de Voraigne, cum multis aliis. The great Mediaeval text-books the ' ' Almagestum " and the " Cosmographia " of Ptolemy, are placed among the "Black Letters, " although the last named should more properly come under the head of " Americana." General Hawkins has seven editions of the ' ' Cosmography '' in this Catalogue. Four are in Italian and three in Latin, including the editions of Sylvanus and Sebastian Munster. Six of these examples were printed at Venice in 1511, 1561, 1562, 1574, 1598, 1599 respectively — and one at Basle in 1545. No more curious instance of evolutionary gyration in cartography can be exemplified than the marvelous geographical development of the New World exhibited in these volumes — the 1511 edition with its crude " Mappemonde," giving but little more than the fabulous " Atlantis '' of Plato and the imprint of ninety years later showing America with her rightful share of majestic dignity among the Conti- nents of the Earth. * * The last, but not the least part, of the " Hawkins Library " is the " Fifth Division," which has been given the comprehensive title of "Varia Liter- aria," as it includes works on a number of different subjects.

The sizes of books in this catalogue are defined relatively to signatures and according to the following page, height and inch measurements : Large Folio, over i8 inches ; Folio, below i8 and over 13 ; Small Folio, below 13 and over 11, Large Quarto, below 15 and over ii ; Quarto, below n and over 8 ; Small Quarto, below 8 and over 6. Large Octavo, below 11 and over 9 ; Octavo, below 9 and over 8 ; Small Octavo, and Twelvemo, below 8 and over 6. MiijiMO, below 6 inches. These eleven designations preserve the important part of the nomenclature formerly used, and do away wilh the old technical paper prefixes, such as " Royal," " Foolscap," "Crown," etc., as well as the confusing smaller sizes of the past. These represented in all, both big and little, some two hundred possible book sizes, ranging from an "Antiquarian Folio," to a "Pot i28mo." As the old specific definitions are now gradually becoming almost obsolete, this new schedule was formulated. It was wisely recognized that the present time is inopportune for the measurement of books by the metric system. C. S.

Weyssenburger, 1524 | Very rare black letter and a fine copy of the first edition of the ' ' Cos- mography" of Apianus.

The woodcut of the globe on the title, and the arms of the Cardinal Archbishop of Saltzburg, are printed from wood- blocks in two colors, black and red. This is a very early specimen of block printing in colors. On page second is a globe with the word "Amen " on an island. There are several revolving diagrams, some on earlier printed matter — that on page 63 contains the word ' 'America. " On page 69 the fourth chapter begins in Latin with — ' ' America, which is now called the fourth part of the world, took its name from Americus Vespuccio, who discovered it ; and it is called an island for the reason that it is surrounded with water." ' ' Edition tr^s rare. " — Brunet. Peter Bienevitz, or Apianus, was born at Leissing, in Saxony, in 1495. He died at Ingolstadt 1551-52. where he held a professorship for more than thirty years. According to Melchior Adam, not only was Apianus rewarded for this work by Charles V. with the order of knighthood, but he received in addition 3,000 golden crowns. He was the designer of the earliest map which contains the name of "America."

His industry in his researches into the history of the Aztec races is something not less than marvelous. Following his vocation as a priest and missionary, his literary appetite could only be allayed by writing a history of Canada, and perhaps the most unfortunate event for his fame which could possibly have happened was that it was printed. It did not escape the notice of historical students that the Abbe had accepted so much that was apocryphal that his history was little better than a romance. When, therefore, he had, with heroic sacrifice of all personal ease, accepted the life of self-immolation of a missionary to the Indians of Mexico; had studied for years the relics of Aztec picture writing; had learned and systema- tized in great treatises their modern dialects; the immense works which he then printed upon the history of the pre-Cortesian races, made scarcely a ripple on the quiet of the scientific world. He stands alone in the vast temple of learning which he has restored, if he did not erect. No human being can contest his solution of Aztec pictographs, nor does there exist one who can prove it to be true. His numerous volumes have at least this merit — they have done much to perpetuate the memory of a wonderful race. 120 Brearley (William H., Ci?. .£, iphMich. Volunteers).

By "a Youth of Thirteen.'' izmo, fresh crushed levant morocco, inside gold tooling, top , edge gilt, by Alfred Matthews. (12 pages.) Boston, printed for the purchasers, 1808 Excessively rare and original edition. Bound uniformly with the fol- lowing lot. ' ' At the early age of ten years he [Bryant] published translations from some of the Latin poets, and when only thirteen wrote ' The Embargo,' a political satire which was printed at Boston in 1808. This remarkable effusion of pre- cocious genius was so successful that a new edition was called for in a few months. " — Allibone. ' ' Bryant early displayed the poetical faculty, and fastened upon the genial influences of nature about him. He began to write verses at nine, and at ten composed a little poem to be spoken at a public school, which was published in a country newspaper. At the age of fourteen [thirteen] he prepared a collection of poems, which was published in Boston in 1809 [and 1808]. The longest of these is entitled ' The Embargo,' a reflection in good set heroic measure of the prevalent New England anti-Jeffersonian Federalism of the times." — DuYC- KINCK. 1 8 THE HA WKINS LI BEAR Y. 139 BRYANT.

G. House, No. 5 Court Street, 1809 Extremely rare. Presentation copy, with MS. inscription of the poet: — " L. Hyde, From the Author, 1811." This valuable little volume, in addition to "The Embargo," includes: — " The Spanish Revolution," written August, 1808; "Ode to Connecticut River," written May, 1808; "The Reward of Literary Merit," written 1807; "Enigmas," December, 1807; "The Contented Ploughman, a Song"; "Drought," July, 1807; "Translation from Horace, Lib. i, Can. XXH." A peculiarly interesting feature of this volume is the two-page preface, dated "Cummington, October 25, 1808," in which the youthful poet charges the Administration with — "terrapin policy," and asserts that — "our political pros- pects are daily growing more and more alarming, — the thunders of approaching ruin sound longer and louder, — and faction and falsehood exert themselves with increasing efforts to accelerate the downfall of our country." Preceding the preface is a page " advertisement, " stating that — " ^. doubt having been inti- mated in the ' Monthly Anthology ' of June last, whether a youth of thirteen years could have been the author of this poem — in justice to his merits the friends of the writer feel obliged to certify the fact from their personal knowl- edge of himself and his family, as well as his literary improvement and extra- ordinary talents.

Thus — " when De Pauw recites from Herrera that the caciques of some Indian nations deflowered all the virgins of their tribes before permitting them to marry, the Count reminds him of the primal noctes of the French seigneurs and the Romans. Where the first charges the Indians with Phallic worship, Carli recalls the obscene rites of Isis and Ceres. " 169 Carpenter ««;/ Arthur. History of Vermont. Portrait and vignette title.

FRI ambitus orbis RUFO FESTO AUIENO paraphraste: castigatissime im- PRESsus. Pellegente et conferente proba exeplaria JOACHIMO VADIANO Heluetio. Small 4to, fresh vellum. Vienna, Joannes Singrenius, 15x5 Very rare and black letter. Singrinius was the second printer of Vienna and was noted for the beauty of his typographical work. The upper portion of some of the pages of the above are stained slightly. This early edition is the Latin paraphrase by Rufus Festus of the well-known hexametrical description of the earth written originally in Greek by Dionysius Periegeles, Libicus or Atricanus, towards the latter part of the third century. Dionysius is placed among the early Americana on account of his indirect ref- erences to our portion of the globe. The 1518 edition of Dionysius by the first Vienna printer, John Winterburg, has on the reverse of the title slight allusions to the recent Oceanic discoveries. On the title-page of the 1543 and Venetian edition of this author by the poet-laureate Lemnius is a large woodcut, repre- senting two globes, one issuing out of an open eye, the other with the word ' ' America.

PSALTERIUM, HEBREUM, ' GRECU., ARABICU., ET CHALDEU., CU. TRIBUS LATINIS ITERPRATATOIBUS. ET GLOSSIS. Finely engraved and rubricated title. Folio, original old stamped calf, beveled sides on wooden boards, rebacked. Genoa, Peter Paul For r us, 1516 EXCESSIVELY RARE and SUPPRESSED. This is a tall copy, with wide margins, of the celebrated Psalter of Agostino Giustiniani, Bishop of Nebbio, in Hebrew, Greek, Arabic and Chaldean. It is one of the earliest polyglots ever printed, and is especially valuable as being the first book vrith a life of Columbus. This is to be found on the first page of the twenty-sixth leaf. It was inserted there by Giustiniani on account of Columbus having frequently proclaimed that he had been chosen by God to exemplify the thought of prophecy, expressed in verse four of the Nineteenth Psalm. The first lines of the life have been translated as follows, viz. : — ' ' Then it was that Christopher named Columbus, a Genoese by birth, of low family, who, in our times, by his energy, explored in a few months a greater extent of land and of sea than almost all the rest of mankind ever did in all past ages, etc. , etc " The volume was condemned to be burned by the common hangman as it con- tained statements injurious to Columbus and thus indirectly attacked Pope Alex- ander the Sixth's deeding the Continent of America to Spain, on the assertions of the discoverer. Fernando Columbus, in his — " Historia del Amirante " and refutation of " The twelve lies of Giustiniani," says: — "We will only add that considering the many mistakes and falsehoods found in the said Giustiniani's His- tory and Psalter, the Senate of Genoa has laid a penalty upon any person that shall read or keep it; and has caused it to be carefully sought out in all places it has been sent to, that it may, by public decree, be destroyed and utterly extin- guished." The above copy was saved from the flames in consequence of having been preserved in a monastic house. On the title is the MS. inscription: — ''liber Conventus Brulensis, " where it was probably conserved in honor of the erudite Dominican and ecclesiastic, who, hounded and persecuted in his native country, found earnest sympathizers in France, Holland and England. 461* Gleason's Pictorial, and other odd Nos. i vol. folio, half sheep. 50 THE HA WKINS LIBRAR Y. 462 [GLOVER (Richard).] Considerations on the Attorney- General's Proposition for a Bill for the Establishment of Peace with America, by "an Old Member of Parliament."

This map, which measures iij^ by i6|^ inches, and is mounted on linen, is of great interest, inasmuch as it is said to be the earliest engraved one yet known bearing the name of America. It is called — " a Delineation of the entire world ; prepared according to the teaching of Ptolemy, the cosmo- grapher, and the voyages of Americus Vespucius and others, by Peter Apian of Leissnig." The southern continent of America is separated from the northern, and extends just to the equator. On the southern part we read : — "Anno 1497, hac terra cum adiacetib. insulis imcesta est per Columbum lannensem ex mandato regis castelle America punicia." The northern continent is termed " Terra Incognita " This valuable map was also inserted in the Pomponius Mela of 1522 and neces- sarily preceded the " mappemonde," also bearing the word "America," in the sumptuous Ptolemy of 1522.

Small folio, mottled calf gilt, in- side gold tooling, lemon edges, by Jenkins and Cecil. London, printed dy G. Miller for J.

London, Printed by George Miller, MDCXXXIII." The general title-page has been cleaned and the vignette portrait is foxed. On the title and over the dedication are the signatures of "Ff. Morgan" and "Ellen Hindley ye gift of my son J. H. Hindley." Sir John Harington, who was born in 1561 and died in 1612, was a great favorite with his godmother Queen Elizabeth, although she temporarily banished him from Court for writing a witty work upon an objectionable theme. Warton says, Harington's translation of Ariosto — "enriched our poetry by a communi- cation of new stories of fiction and imagination, both of the romantic and comic species of Gothic manners and familiar manners." Milton's nephew, Edward Phillips, in his " Theatrum Poetarum, " writes of: — "Sir John Harington, no less noted for his book of witty epigrams than his judicious translation of Ariosto's ' Orlando Furioso.'

The above is the sixteenth of the thirty-five known editions printed before the year 1501. The work is a chronological history of the world from the creation, illustrated with many curious woodcuts, and is also a copy of the first publication from the press of Memmingen, in Bavaria. " The earliest specimen of the typography of this town [Memmingen] is an edition of the well-known chronicle entitled ' Fasisculus Teraporum.' .... This work was executed by Albertus Kunne de Duderstadt, who had previously been a printer at Trent, and who appears to have reigned without a rival at Memmingen, as more than fifty of his books are mentioned by Panzer in the XVth century, but not one single volume executed by any other printer." — Cotton.

This is the ninth book from the press of the first printer at Turin, in Fied- mont, and of whom Gen. Hawkins writes: — " Fabri was probably a native of Langres, France, his name in that country being Jean Lefevre. He has some- times been confounded with Jo. Faber, a German, who printed at Lyons from 1478 to 1494, and with another of the same name who was at Stockholm in 1495 and 1496." — "First Books and Printers of the Fifteenth Century," page 37. 232 THE HAWKINS LIBRARY.

Panzer and Hain, without having seen a copy of this book, have attributed it to a printer at Venice. It is, without doubt, a very scarce specimen from one of the early presses at Ferrara. The author was born at Cordova, in Spain, about the first quarter of the twelfth century, was one of the most learned and accom- plished of the Arabian philosophers, alchemists and physicians. He died at Morocco in iigS. The art of printing was exercised at Ferrara as early as 1471. Andreas Belbrus Gallus was the first printer of this important Italian town. BISHOP VORAIGNE— AN EDITION BY THE FIRST PRINTER OF DELFT. 1644 JSIatS; ILEtter.— VORAIGNE (Jac. de). Passionael SoMERSTRUC. Thick 4to (ten and one-eighth by seven and five-eighths), vellum. Delff in hollant, MCCCCLXXXII. VERY RARE, and printed by Jacob Jacobzoon van der Meer, vrith his heraldic printer's mark under the colophon, also many ornamental initials in colors. According to Campbell, this edition in Dutch is the seventeenth book of the first printers at Delft. Cotton says, that at Delft — " was printed in 1477 ' De Bybel dat neve Testament, ' being the first edition of the Dutch Bible in two volumes , folio, by Jacob Soens. A volume ' Dat passionel," being an earlier date (1472) should, perhaps, be rather assigned to 1482." The colophon of the above lot proves Cotton's statement to be correct. Jacobus de Voraigne, author of the above, was a general of the great Domin- ican Order and Bishop of Genoa. He flourished in the thirteenth century, and Cave states — " He is said to have known almost all St. Augustine by heart." He was the author of a complete series of sermons, as well as the Golden Legend, and Pusey quotes them largely in his ' ' Eirenicon.

" Rubricated throughout and with initials illuminated by hand in gold and colors. The first table is bound at the end. On page 155 will be found one of the very few mentions of Gutenberg's name during the fifteenth centuiy as the inventor of printing. It says : — I ' ' Quantu lltteraru. studiosi Germanis debeant | nuUo satis dicedi. genere exprirai posset. Naqz. | a JOANNE GUTENBERG Zinunge equiti Mogu- | tie. rhein solerti ingenio libror.

" | Translation. — " How much students of literature owe to the Germans can- not be expressed adequately by any form of speech. Especially the method of printing books discovered in the year 1440 by the remarkable genius of JOHN GUTENBERG, Zum-Junghen, Knight, of Mayence on the Rhine. This being quickly propagated in almost every part of the globe, all antiquity is read by posterity in an infinite number of volumes at a small price considering the quality of copies." This may probably help to solve the Coster heresy as to the inventor of the art typographic, as it most certainly endorses the statement of the good Abbot Trithemiusin the "Chronicon Spanheimense," under the year 1450, that printing was invented by his contemporary John Gutenberg, who — " lived at Mentz in a house called the Zum Junghen, but afterwards known by the name of the Print- ing House." 234 THE HA WKINS LIBRAE Y.

There are two continuous tractates and from the end of a work of Michael de Hungaria. Leyden — Lvgdvnvm Batavorvm — had printing commenced as early as 1483, yet we have scarcely any except Dutch books from there before the close of the fifteenth century. The above is therefore rare, being in Latin. Gen. Haw- kins says on page 81 of his book — " This first-known book [;'. e.. Die Cronike va HoUant] of Leyden is said to be the work of Heynricus Heynrici, who, it is believed, was the first printer of that city." It antedates all the Elzevirs.

The small uncouth Gothic type with which this tract was printed is quite unknown. It being the first edition of these " Regulations," the probabilities are in favor of its having been printed at Rome, but when, where or by whom it was issued nothing definite is known.

THE "COLOGNE MISSAL," PRINTED BY JOHN DE LUBECK IN i486. 1654 JSIatfe aetter.— ORDINARI. MISSAR. scd'z maiore ECCLESIAM CoLONiENSEN. Thick minimo (five and a quarter inches by three and five-eighths), vellum. Cologne, \^John de Lubeck vel Kollhoff\ i486 EXTREMELY RARE. This copy of an unknown edition of the " Cologne Missal " was once the property of Dr. Kloss and has his book-plate inserted. It is so rare that neither Panzer, Hain nor Ebert mention it. The first and last leaves are slightly torn without interfering with the text. The initials throughout are inserted in black and blue by hand. It is a valuable specimen of the art of printing at Cologne. John de Lubeck was one of the earliest Cologne printers, and Timperley suggests that as — " his date is older than either himself or the invention of printing, it is uncertain as to the exact time of his appearing." Cotton in the "Typographical Gazetteer" styles him "Johannes Kolhoff de Lubec" and claims him to be the first who made use of signatures. He seems to have been associated with William Caxton in the publication at Cologne of " Bartholomaeus de proprietatibus rerum " in Latin, which bears, however, only the imprint of Jo. Koelhoff, although Wynkyn de Worde alludes as follows in his English edition of the same book: — " And also of your charyte bear in remembrance The soule of William Caxton, first printer of this boke, In Laten toneue at Coleyn, himself to advaunce That every well disposyd man may thereon loke."

This " Editio Princeps " of the great work of St. Gregory, is printed in the best Tuscan-Italian, and was one of the first works admitted to the Florentine Academy, and it is for that reason especially valuable to, scholars. The first volume has at its commencement a full-page portrait of the author, printed from a metal plate, which Gen. Hawkins claims is among the earliest of the authenticated Italian metal engravings. An inserted catalogue cutting shows that Quaritch asked ;^8 for the Wellesley copy of this grand edition of the works of Gregory the Great, the celebrated sixth century Pontiff, Father and Saint of the Catholic Church, who brought Britain within the pale of Christianity, and of whom it is written — "he devoted himself altogether to God."

This volume is probably from the Augsburg press of Erhardt Ratdolt, circ. 1487. The woodcut of " Madonna and Child, with two Saints in Attendance," on the verso of the first leaf is certainly of that town, and the type and press-work speak for themselves. The crowns of the Saints, the crescent moon and coat-of-arms in this cut are reddened by a later hand.

Examples of his work are especially valued for their accuracy and mechanical execution. " Basle was the first city in Switzerland which could boast of the art of print- ing, which is thought to have been carried thither by Eerthold Rodt of Harau — formerly employed in the office of FUst at Mayence — between the years 1460 and 1465." — Cotton.

Saint Ambrose, Archbishop of Milan, flourished in the fourth century. His complete writings fill two folio volumes in the printed editions of Erasmus, Basle, 1527, and of the Benedictines, Paris, 1686-90. The greatest legacies, however, that he left to the Church are his hymns, and the Ambrosian chant. He first 238 THE HA WKINS LIBRAE Y. reduced the music of Catholicity to an orderly system and style. Although the Gregorian music is principally used ecclesiastically, in our age, the Milanese Churches still boast that they retain the rhythm and cadence which their great Archbishop left them. St. Ambrose is still claimed by many as the author of the " Te Deum."

M. and Dead Christ, St. Francis with the stigmata and tonsured monks in a church. On the last page are the following concluding lines: — " Magister Jacobus de marcepalto ordinis minorum couentus Naneten." Gen. Hawkins has written this note on the cover: — "The engraving is cer- tainly the work of a Basle artist, and the tract must have been printed at that city about 1488. This copy came from the University of Friburg. " EXCESSIVELY RARE WORK AGAINST THE JEWS. 1663 PETRI BRUTI VENETI episcopi Catharesis, Vic- toria CONTRA JuDAEOs.

There is some beautiful Italian Renaissance work on the first page — a capital " O " illuminated in col- ors, heightened with gold.

This is a very rare and valuable edition of the miscellaneous works of St. Augustine, Bishop of Hippo, the influence of whose literary labors has been felt for over 1500 years. He compacted the Christian religion into a system, with a logic, the severity of which is relieved by the glow of his eloquence and the fer- vor of his piety. BONAVENTURE ON THE SENTENCES— NUREMBERG, 1491. 1667 JSlacfe SLtttCr.— ST. BONAVENTURE. Perlustra- Tio IN Lib. IV. Sententiarum. 2 vols, thick small folio (twelve and a quarter inches by eight and a quarter), stamped leather on wooden boards. Nuremberg, 1491 VERY RARE, a few pp. wormed. The author of this work was St. Bonaventure, the "Seraphic Doctor," and great scholistof the Franciscans, who was born in Tuscany, A.D. 1221, and died at Lyons in 1274, universally regretted as the second of the two great lights which illumined that age. His works, besides the above, consist of Exposition of Genesis, Psalms, Ecclesiasticus, Wisdom, Lamentations, Matthew, Luke and John; Sermons; Commentaries on the Four Books of Sentences; seventy-three tracts. Dante has added to Bonaventure's immortality by placing him in his " Para- dise." Luther considered Saint Bonaventure as a most excellent man; Bellarmine as beloved by God and man. Alexander de Hales (his preceptor) used to say that Brother Bonaventure seemed not to partake of Adam's sin. Gerson greatly admired him and recommended the study of his works, which obtained for him the title of Seraphic Doctor, — his companion when he took his Doctor's Degree, being the Angelic Doctor, Saint Thomas Aquinas. " Bonaventure, called the Seraphic Doctor, was a scholar, an man of an acute mind, a good writer, and a very devout man. He united mystic with scholastic theology, and was a voluminous writer on practical religion. His works com- prise commentaries on the Scriptures; a full comment on the Sentences of Lom- bard; a great number of tracts, chiefly on afcetic and practical subjects; letters; sermons; etc." — Dr. Murdock.

At the end of a preliminary statement on the verso of the first leaf there is the date, "Ex Spiris * * * * 1491," which has led several writers to the erroneous conclusion that this work was printed at Spire. It is an " Editio Prima " of an important theological publication, and was probably issued by Cruesner at Nuremberg about 1492. This copy is from the library of Dr. Kloss, and has his book-plate. 240 THE HA WKINS LIBRAR V. ST. AMBROSE'S WORKS— PRINTED BY AMERBACH OF BASLE IN 1492. 1669 SANCTI AMBROSII Mediolanensis.

From the year 1489, the date of the earliest book now known, printing seems to have been car- ried on with success in this city ; and many specimens remain to us from the press of Henry Grau, which purport to be in imperiali Oppido Hagenaw dili- gentissime impressa," 242 THE HA WKINS LIBRAE Y.

This very rare eflition of one of the lesser works of Seneca is from the press of one of the most notable of the early Paris printers. It has on the recto of the first leaf his curious printer's device with its singular inscription. Hopyl had a press by himself from 1489 to 1500, and in 1502, in company with the celebrated Henri Estienne issued, an edition of the " Ethics " of Aristotle, which might lead one to beheve that he was one of the founders of the great house of Stephanus. " There is no doubt that Paris witnessed the exercise of the art of printing so early as 1470, in which year through the exertions of two of its learned professors, Guillaume Fichet and Jean de la Pierre, a press was set up in the college of the Sorbonne by the three illustrious partners — Ulric Gering, Martin Crantz and Michael Friburger." — Cotton.

This is the rarest of all the fifteenth century editions of any of Seneca's works, is from the press of a Paris printer who issued this one work, and this copy is probably unique.

Its colophon ends: — " Venetiis impressse per Mattheum Capcasum Parmensem iussu et expensis nobilis iuri domirri Octauiani Scoti ciuis Modoetiensis, anno ab incarnatione Domini MCCCCLXXXXV."

The 1497 Tacitus consists of 103 leaves, 45 lines to the page. Uniform with this edition is the '' Vita Agricolae," of Tacitus, of the same press and date. Each has the printer's device of Fontana — "a fountain," and the initials " B. F." Any of the fifteenth century editions of the works of this writer are scarce, and although this is the fourth edition of the " History," it is the rarest of all. It is beautifully printed and has hand-painted large initials in red. It is com- plete and perfect in every particular. The " Wandalia," Cologne, 1519. There are six leaves of table, signatures A. I. to T. VI., 44 Hnes to the page. This copy is a perfect and beautiful specimen from the press of a very rare Cologne printer. It has an engraved title-page, and many hand-painted initials in red and blue. The author of the work, Albert Krantz, historian and diplomatist, was born at Hamburg, about 1450. This is the most notable of all his literary efforts, and has been highly praised by many writers. ST. THOMAS AQUINAS— VENICE, 1497. 1690 JSlatft ILttttr.— S. THOMAE AQUINATIS. Summ^ Pars prima.

" Among the Augsburg printers of the XVth century occurs Erhard Ratholdt, who had carried on the business at Venice in 1476, and seems io have enter- tained no mean opinion of his own abilities, as may be seen by his colophons, in which he styles himself, 'Vir solertissimus,' 'imprimendi arte nominatissimus,' 'artis impressarie magister apprime faraosus,' ' perpolitus opifex,' ' vir sub orbe notus,' etc., etc." — Cotton.

Cotton states that the first printers of Vicenza, Joannes de Reno and Leonardus Achates de Basilea, sometimes dated their books— "in Sancto Ursio propre Vincentian," etc., and adds — " St. Orso appears to have been a quarter of the city so called; and I notice it in this place merely with a view of obviating any mistake which might arise; but Santander states it to be a distinct village, and affirms that the art of printing was exercised here before it was introduced into the city."

A good specimen in Roman letter of the famed Parisian press of Jehan Petit, who, Timperley says — "was more of a bookseller than a printer, yet kept a greater number of workmen than any of his contemporaries: he had no less than fifteen presses constantly employed. He printed with the Gothic character; but his impressions were so correct and beautiful, that he was sworn printer and bookseller to the University of Paris, and chosen Master of the Company; the words petit a petit (little by little) he used in his titles, alluding to his own name." 248 THE HA WKINS LIBRAE V.

Battista Spagnuoli, or Mantuano, a Carmelite friar, was born at Mantua in 1448. He was the most popular writer of verses of his time. There were about seventy editions of his various poems printed before the close of the fifteenth century. This beautiful edition of several of his poems is in double columns, with notes, and bears upon its title-page the book device of Jehan Petit, one of the most notable of the early Paris printers. THE GIUNTA AND SODERINI EDITION OF JOSEPHUS IN ITALIAN. 1701 lOSEPHO de Bello Ivdaico in Lingva Toscana. Large 4to (twelve and three-quarters by eight and a half), old half sheep. Florence, 1512 EXTREMELY RARE, 146 leaves, with floriated initials, in good condi- tion. It may be considered — although stained in parts — a fair example from the justly celebrated press of the great Florentine printers — the Juntffi or Giunti. On the last page istheOiunta "fleur-de-lys," supported by two Cupids. The colophon reads: — " Impressum Florentiae Kal. lulii M.D.XII. Sumpti- bus Philippi Iunt^ — Petro Soterino uexillisevo perpetuo." Pietro Soderini was one of great house of the Soderinis of Florence, of which republic they were the Gonfalonieri. Their ancient pedigree, covering many pages, will be found in Litta's " Famigli Celebri Italiani." Machiavelli, Trollope and Roscoe refer to important members of the family and their association with the De Medicis and Florentine history. In 1512 Philip Giunta's edition of Lucretius was dedicated to Thomas Soderini: — "Petrus Candidus Thomae Sotherino, S. P. D." The above volume is also interesting as an early Italian version of the ' ' Jewish War " of Josephus, which was written by him in Greek. His most important literary labor was his "Jewish Antiquities,' of which there are twenty books, giving an account of the world to the year of our era A. D. 66, the commencement of the Israelite revolt against the Roman rule. The story of this rebellion is given in the seven books of his " History of the Jewish War." Botta writes— " Flavius Josephus wrote the ' Jewish Archaeology ' in order to show the Roman conquerors of Jerusalem that the Jews did not deserve the contempt with which they were universally regarded." Another reason for his authorship of the " Antiquities" is that he desired to accommodate the Jewish religion to Latin tastes and prejudices. The great Jewish historian was born at Jerusalem A. D. 37. Josephus was not only an author, but a General of repute, fighting against the Romans until the subjection of his people by Vespasian, who took him prisoner, but spared his life upon the intercession of Titus. Thereupon the Hebrew writer prophe- sied that the Roman empire would be ruled over at a future period by Vespasian and his son. Josephus accompanied Titus to the city of Rome after the siege of Jerusalem. He was made a Roman citizen by Vespasian and treated with extreme condescension both by that Emperor and successors Titus and Domitian. Josephus died about A. D. 100. It was in consequence of his being a dependent of the Flavian family that he assumed the name of Flavius.

Scattered throughout the volume are beautiful initials, and quaint wood block illustrations, of which the first, a half page, represents a monk with books before him, lecturing a class. The types are charming French Gothic, and every page is ruled with ink. The first letter " L " on title is a grotesque head. The binding is a superb example of early French reliure. The design is of the genre Grolier — geometrical interlacing, Gothic floriations, etc. Galliot du Pre published the book, but it was printed by " Nicolas Couteau." This celebrated edition of Virgil, which, at the MacCarthy sale, sold for 521 francs, had two translators — the Bucolics and Georgics by "Michel, dit de Tours," and the .^Eneid by " Octavian de Saint Gelais."

This fine edition of Virgil is remarkable for the extraor- dinary number of curious engravings on wood, upwards of two hundred, which it contains. Purchased of Coombes (Duprat) for $150. The edges are gilt on citron and tooled. Brunei speaks of this rare Lyons edition as still very valuable. In his "Essai sur L'Histoire de la.Gravure sur Bois," M. Ambroise Firmin-Didot refers to this edition of Virgil in the foUomug words: " Jean Crespin a imprime en 1529 une grande edition in-folio de Virgile, dont le texte, entoure des com- mentaires de Servius, etc. , et des annotations de Bernoalde, a ete revu par Josse Bade qui y a joint I'opuscule in Priapi lusum. Les plupart des gravures de Grttninger ornent cette rMPORTANTE ^DrxroN." John Crespin or Crespen, who published the above, was an ingenious six- teenth century printer, and a native of Arras, in France. He was advocate to the Parliament of Paris, but afterwards, forming a friendship with Beza, he embraced the reformed religion and retired to Geneva, where he gained great reputation by his printing, and, according to Bayle, died of the plague. He is allowed to have been a man of great learning, and an useful and accurate printer. Crespin was the author of = " Greek Lexicon."

With the printer's maric of the Stephani on title— "An olive tree, with old man at foot thereof, and motto, ' Altvm sapere noli.' " There are the names of two former owners on title, one of whom was — "Cornelio Erancescucci. " This volume was printed by a member of the Stephanus or Estienne family. From Bigmore and Wyman's " Bibliography of Printing" we learn that Henry Estienne, the first printer of that name, was a man of noble birth, but little is known of his early history. He alienated himself from his family and aban- doned his title, preferring to win distinction in promoting the then compara- tively new Art of Printing, and thus throwing open the sources of learning to students generally. He had three sons — Francis, Robert and Charles — all printers of distinction. The above example is from the press of the youngest son, a printer of Paris, who was even a finer scholar than his brothers. During his youth he traveled much throughout Europe, increasing the vast stores of his learning upon scientific and artistic subjects. On his return to Paris he became a physician. About the time (1550) his brother Robert fled to Geneva, Charles, impelled by his inherited tastes, abandoned the profession he was adorning, and established himself as a printer. He produced a very large number of books, which appeared with extraordinary rapidity. His great merit won him the title of " King's Printer," which was never granted to Henry. He remained " Rex typographus '' from 1551 to 1561. He also wrote a number of works upon scientific subjects, and others on grammar and criticism. He died in affluent circumstances. For nearly two hundred years some member of his family was carrying on the art typographic in France and Switzerland with the greatest distinction.

This handsome edition of Rabelais lias woodcut borders on the titles, pretty initials and a cut of the "O Bouteille " on page 141 of the fifth book. This was purchased from a Coombes (Duprat) catalogue for $125. Take the scholarly Father Prout, Dean Swift and the Rev. Laurence Sterne, at their very worst, throw in the rollicking spirit of the Rev. Thomas Barham, with a spice of the wit of that "eminent ascetic," Sydney Smith, flavor it strongly with the gross license of the "Table-Talk" of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther, add the profligacy of Boccaccio, and you then have something akin to the literary monstrosity called Rabelais. " Beyond a doubt Rabelais was among the deepest as well as boldest thinkers of his age. His buffoonery was not merely Brutus' rough stick, which contained a rod of gold : it was necessary as an amulet against the monks and legates. . . . The caricature of his filth and zanyism show fully he both knew and felt the danger in which he stood. I could write a treatise in praise of the moral elevation of Rabelais' work, which could make the church stare and the conventicle groan, and yet would be truth and nothing but the truth. I class Rabelais with the great creative minds of the world, Shakespeare, Dante, Cer- vantes, etc." — S. T. Coleridge.

ELZEVIRIAN IMPRINTS. 1731 ELZEVIR.— Q CuRTii Rufi Rerum Alexandri Magni Libri VIII. Superstites Accedunt Titi Popur^ Notae. Engraved front, {mounted). Minimo. Leyden, ex officinia Elseviriana, 1622 RARE.— "The Elzevir family, who flourished in Holland during the six- teenth and seventeenth centuries, were famous for the elegance of their type, the excellence of their press- work, the accuracy of their text, and their success- ful efforts to introduce the duodecimo as an improvement upon the larger and more expensive forms of books. Their type was highly esteemed in this coun- try, and furnished the model for that of the first Caslon. Of twelve printers belonging to this family, at least seven were celebrated for special excellence. ' ' Louis Elzevir, the first printer of the family, was born at Louvain, and estab- lished himself at Leyden. His first book was an edition of Eutropius in 1592, and it is excessively rare. He continued to print in that city until his death in 1617. He adopted for his device the arms of the Batavian Republic and the motto ' Concordia res parvse crescunt,' which motto, adopted by Jo Steels, with another device, Brunet and other bibliographers, were led to believe that Elze- vir's and Steels's devices were the same. ' ' The five sons of Louis were all printers — the youngest, Bonaventure Elze- vir, achieving great celebrity as the publisher of the famous duodecimo classics. Louis, a grandson of the first Louis, was the founder of the Elzevir press of Amsterdam. . . . . . " The Elzevirs did not aim at luxury, like the Aldi and the Stephens, for they printed only one work upon vellum, but devoted their endeavors to fur- nishing accurate works for common use." — Bigmore and Wyman. 1732 ELZEVIR. — Respublica Romana. — Honori Vrbis Mt&r- nffi P.

Amsterdam, apud Ludovicum et Danielem Elzevirios, 1658 VERY RARE, and a fine example of a folio Elzevir, with head and tail pieces, fleurons, initial letters, etc. Daniel Elzevir,' named above was a son of Bonaventure, achieved great fame in Leyden, and afterwards at Amsterdam, — "continuing to print until his death in 1689 .... His widow carried on the business after his death; and the last book issued by the family was in 1712 by Abraham Elzevir, alderman at Leyden, the sole survivor of the family." 1742 ELZEVIR. — CoNCiONES et Orationes ex Historicis La- tinis. Minimo, old calf. Amsterdam, ex officina Elzeviriana, 1662 VERY RARE. With the rarely used Elzevirian device on title of Minerva and her Owl beneath on olive tree with the motto — " Ne extra olea. " " The emblem of the olive tree and vine, under it an old man gathering fruit, on the other side on a scroll the motto, ' Non Solus ' (not alone), was a later and better-known mark of these famous printers. The adopting for their mark of the prolific vine — crowned by Grecian fable as the greatest blessing to man- kind, and the gift of the wise Minelrva — was very appropriate for a family so many in number and so multitudinous in works." — BiGMORE AND Wyman. 1743 ELZEVIR.— Q CVRTII RVFI Historiarum Libri accura- tissime editi.

With 28 curious maps, including the rare " Mappemonde,'' with this continent and the West Indian Islands thereon — rubricated throughout the volume as well as in the maps. Folio, calf, gilt. Venice, per lacobum Pentium de leucho Anno Domini, 1511 EXTREMELY RARE edition of the Ptolemy of Sylvamis, a copy of which was priced last year in a German catalogue at 350 marks (about eighty-five dol- lars). The above, although somewhat water-stained, is complete. Harrisse mentions a copy of this geography examined by him which was without the ' ' Mappe- monde," so interesting to Americans. Of the twenty-eight maps this is the most valuable, as it contains the islands of " Cuba," " Spagnuola," and a portion of the mainland designated as " Terre Sanctse Crucis," and which is the second KNOWN DELINEATION OF ANY PART OF COLUMBUS'S DISCOVERIES. "Of all [the ancient geographers] that I have named," writes Ramusio, ' ' 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 Romans were already the lords of the world. But though his knowledge extends so far, a tract of fifteen degrees beyond 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. " — Yule. Of the editor of the above, Harrisse says — ' ' Bernard Sylvanus of Eboli (in the kingdom of Naples), was a geographer of remarkable learning, boldness and imagination. His work can scarcely be called an edition of Ptolemy's ' Cosmo- graphia,' for he undertook therein to remodel Ptolemy himself, by means of data borrowed from modern navigators, which he interspersed with such erroneous conjectures boldly set forth as facts, that no rehance whatever can be placed upon his texts, maps or assertions Withal, Sylvanus' ' Ptolemy ' is, in a cartograph- ical point of view, an extremely curious book." THE HA WKINS LIBRAE Y. 263 1747 PTOLEMY. — Geographia vniversalis vetvs et nova coMPLECTENS CLAVDII PTOLEM^I Alexandrini Enarrationis Libros VIII. Numerous maps and cuts. Small folio, roan (stained title and some maps mended). 'Baslt, per Henrichvm Petrvm, 1545 VERY RARE. This volume is interesting on account of the description of America which precedes the curious double-paged map — " Nova Insvlse XXVI.- Nova Tabvla." This presents North and South America with the West Indies in a very strange manner, particularly the upper portion, where " Terra Florida," and "Francisca" (Canada) are divided by an isthmus. This edition is known as Sebastian Munster's, and has, among other maps, the same as those in the 1540 edition, of which the iirst chart is styled — " Typhus universalis," containing the western continent, the southern part of which bears the name ' ' America seu insula Brasilia." 1748 PTOLEMY.— I La Geografia | di CLAVDIO TOLO- MEO I Alessandrino | Nuoamente tradotta di GRffico IN Italiano, I DA GIROLAMO RVSCELLIcon exposition! del medesimo, particolari di luogo in luogo & uni I uersali sopra tutto il libro, et sopra tutta la Geografia, o modo I di far la dessoritione di tutto il mondo. | Numerous maps and cuts.

A fine clean copy of this edition in Italian, which contains in all 64 maps, ten being of special interest to those interested in the pursuit of geographical knowledge relating to America. All the maps are mounted upon independent joints, and are as fresh and clean as when first issued from the press. The maps of the American continent and islands are of a very different aspect to those in the preceding lot, printed sixteen years before. The notable maps in this respect are the second, ''Orbis Descriptio;" and the third, " Carta Marina Nvova Tavola." At the end are separate maps of "Terra Nova," " Nveva Hispania Tabvla Nova," "Terra Nveva," " Brasil Nvova Tavola," " Isola Cvba Nova," and " Isla Spagnola Nova." 1749 PTOLEMY.— Geographia CL.

The maps in this Latin edition are very similar to those in the preceding — particularly those most interesting to us, i. e., the second, " Orbis Descriptio," and the third, " Carta Marina." At the end are separate maps of " Terra Nveva — Novae Galliae," "Nveva Hispania," "Terra Nova — Americse sive Perv," " Brasil," " Isola Cvba," and " Isola Spagnola." The map of the Brothers Zeni, first published in 1558, is here reproduced, being map No. 17 of the additions, or 26 in regular order. 1750 PTOLEMY.— La Geografia di CLAVDIO TOLOMEO Alessandrino gia tradotta di Greco in Italiano da M.

New Guinea and Terra del Fuego are given as one enormous continent across the the entire bottom of the map and appear to be separated from the mainland of South America by a channel below the Isthmus of Panama. 1752 PTOLEMY.— Geografia di CLAVDIO TOLOMEO Alessandrino tradotto di Greco nell' IdioMa Vol- GATE Italiano da GIROLAMO RVSCELLI et hora nuouamente ampliata da GIOSEFFO ROSACCIO.

AMERICAN ETCHINGS— EDITION-DE-LUXE. 1768 AMERICAN ETCHINGS.— ORIGINAL ETCHINGS BY AMERICAN ARTISTS. With an Introduction and Descriptions by S. R. Koehler. 20 Etchings — Proofs ON India paper.

Smillie; 'The Smugglers' Landing Place," by J. C. Nicoll; and "Twi- light," by J. A. T. Monks. ' ' The great variety of these subjects by twenty representative American etchers will be noticeable at a glance. Europe and America have both furnished themes, and the time-honored glories of Florence and Venice are found side by side with the almost tropical splendor of Mexico and the simpler, but not less poetical, scenery of the coast of New England, while the Indian and the negro stand upon the same basis, as regards their artistic usefulness, with the cavalier of the seventeenth century. Nor is the ideal note wanting, although the prevail- ing key is decidedly realistic." — Introduction. It is needless, perhaps, to state that all the etchings in this collection were made specially for the purpose, and that none of them have ever been published before.

Good copy of Pickering's beautiful edition. To posterity and distant ages Bacon bequeatlied his good name, and posterity and distant ages will do him ample justice. Wisdom herself has suffered in his disgrace, but year after year brings to light proof of the arts that worked Bacon's downfall and covered his character with obloquy. MAGNIFICENT EDITION-DE-LUXE OF THE GREAT MODERN PAINTERS. 1784 BACON (Henry). THE GREAT MODERN PAINT- ERS, ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, etc., MEDAL- LISTS OF SUCCESSIVE UNIVERSAL EXPOSI- TIONS.

Paris, Goupil and Co., 1886 EDITION-DE-LUXE, with Japan Proofs before letters, also DUPLICATE Proofs on satin. This exquisite book — limited to an edition of 50 ' copies, and sold to subscribers only at $300 — is truly the most magnificent specimen of book-making of ancient or modern times. The text (pp. 384) and plates throughout are printed on the finest paper from the Imperial Factories of Japan. The reproductions on steel and wood consist of the best examples of twenty four of the leading artists of the present day, viz. : — BoliGUEREAU, AlmA- Tadema, Munkacsy, Bonheur, Henner, Baudry, Lefeevre, Bridgman, Knaus, Breton, Bonnat, Millais, Israels, Jacqub, Laurens, Van Marcke, de Nittis, Herkomer, Meissonier, Boulanger, Chavannes, Madrazo, Mesdag and Gerome. Of the 593 illustrations, 150 are Proofs before Letters on Japan paper and satin. But one of the most important features of this grand exhibit is the re- production in the text of the sketches or studies of those masters of all that is greatest in art. Such an insight is seldom vouchsafed to the uninitiated, and the originals are unattainable, even by the wealthiest.

Behn was a woman of so celebrated a fame while she lived, and so esteemed, that to give a perfect draught of her, one must write like her." — Charles Gibbon. ' ' She has been accused, and that not without great justice, of interlarding her comedies with the most indecent scenes, and giving indulgence in her wit to the most indelicate expressions. The best and perhaps the only true excuse that can be made for it is, ... . as she wrote for a hvelihood, she was obliged to comply with the corrupt taste of the times. And as she was a woman, and natu- rally, moreover, of an amorous complexion, and wrote in an age and to a court of gallantry and licentiousness, the latter circumstances, added to her necessities, compelled her to indulge her audience in their favorite depravity; and the former, assisted by a rapid flow of wit and vivacity, enabled her so to do; so that both together have given her plays the loose cast which it is but too apparent they possess.

Senlis ara^ Paris, 1824 The Jesuit D'Arruis, speaking of Bourdaloue, said: " Lorsque le Pere Bour- daloue precha i Rouen, les artisans quittoient leurs boutiques pour Taller en- tendre; les marchands leur. negoce; les avocats le palais; les medecins leurs malades. Pour moi lorsque je prechai I'annee d'apr^s, je remis toutes choses dans I'ordre, personne n'abandonnoit pas son emploi." " The style and imagery of Bourdaloue seem to rush upon us with the force of a mountain torrent; he is the Demosthenes of French divines; but it cannot be denied that his art is too apparent ; and that all the subordinate parts of his composition seem to be purposely kept down, in order to sharpen the force of his logic, and to aggravate the terror of his invective. In the higher departments of sermon composition, he is, doubtless, without a rival; our Horsley seems to have had much in common with that eminent divine, as, in the deeper scenes of Christ's sufferings, and in the delineations of the day of judgment, there was much about both these preachers which exhibited all the sublimity of which such subjects are capable." — Dibdin. 276 THE HA WKINS LIBRAE Y.

This re-issue of Jesse's "Life of Beau Brummell," which has been a scarce book for a long time, contains a quantity of new matter now published for the first time, collected by the author, but which it was not deemed fitting to insert in former editions. Many notes have also been added, as well as forty illustra- tions, after Dighton and others, of contemporaries of Brummell. 1826 BRYAN (Michael). Dictionary of Painters and Engravers, Biographical and Critical. New Edition Revised and Enlarged, edited by Robert Edmund Graves, B. A., of the British Museum. "Vol. i (A-K — all published). Thick large 8vo, fresh cloth, totally uncut. London, 1886 " Since the appearance of the last edition of Bryan's ' Dictionary of Painters and Engravers,' which was issued in 1849, the publication of many valuable works on art and monographs on artistF, some of them embodying the results of careful researches among city records, guild books and church registers, par- ticularly in Italy and in the Netherlands, has furnished many new soiirces from which material has been derived for the correction and enlargement of this work. Most especially is the editor indebted to the invaluable works of Messrs. Crowe & Cavalcaselle, Burckhardt, Milanesi and Morelli on the Italian painters, of Messrs. Crowe & Cavalcaselle, Weale and Kramm on Flemish and Dutch art, and of the late Sir William Stirling-Maxwell on the artists of Spain. " Besides the addition of a large number of names which were not included in the former edition or its supplement, new authority has been given to every one of the old entries by a careful revision, and in most instances by important changes. In several cases the notices have been supplied by contributors specially qualified for the task, such as Mr. W. B. Scott, Dr. J. P. Richter, the late Mrs. Heaton and others. These will be distinguished by the writer's initials. It is anticipated that the new matter introduced will enlarge the work to double its former size." — From the Preface. 1827 BRYDGES.

THE EXCESSIVELY RARE AND FACETIOUS "ARTIFICIAL CHANGELING"— THE FIRST EDITION OF 1650. 1829 [BULWER (John).]— | ANTHROPOMETAMORPHO- SIS : I Man Transform'd ; | or, the | Artifical | Changeling. | Historically Presented, | In the Mad and Cruel Gallantry, | Foolish Bravery, Ridiculous Beauty, | Filthy Finenesse, and Loathsome | Lovelinesse of Most Nations, | Fashioning and Altering their Bodies | from the Mould Intended by | Nature. | With a Vindication of the Regular | Beauty and Honesty of | Nature. | and An Appendix of the Pedigree of the | English Gallant. By "J. B. Sirnamed, The Chirosopher." | In nova fert animus, mutatas dicere formas. | With curious engraved portrait of the author. Thick minimo, old calf, gilt. London, printed for J. Hardesty, at the Black- spread Eagle in Duck-Lane, 1650 EXCESSIVELY RARE, and the rarest of the rare English Erotic Curiosa. The above is the first edition, and was unknown and unmentioned by Lowndes. A copy of the far less rare second or 1653 edition of this book sold at the sale of Col. Stanley at London, in 1813, for ;^I3 2s. 6d., i. e., $66. The chapter on the " Privy Parts " is one of the most remarkable of the curi- osities of literature. It enters into some of the strangest and most erratic customs of civilization and savagery in a way that is wonderful in its eccen- tricity. Rabelais, Aretino and De Sade are brought to mind by this weirdly erotic volume. An account of this extravagant work will be found in Oldys's " British Librarian," pp. 367-72, and in the " London Retrospective Review," New Series II., 205-17. It appears that the author wrote several other works, which he did not deem it desirable to pubhsh. " From Bulwer's extravagance some illustration is thrown upon one portion of the history of human knowledge. He lived in an age of great learning and Of little judgment; at a time when there was a voracious appetite for information, and when fact and fiction were indiscriminately gorged and devoured by all who sought for the reputation of learning." — Retrospective Review. 1830 Bulwer-Lytton (Rosina, Lady).

The great Johnson has praised the "Anatomy of Melan- choly " in the warmest terms, and the ludicrous Sterne has interwoven many parts of it into his own popular performance. Milton did not disdain to build two of his finest poems on it ; and a host of inferior writers have embellished their works with beauties not their own, culled from a performance which they had not the justice even to mention. "The book, in my opinion, most useful to a man who wishes to acquire the reputation of being well-read, with the least trouble, is ' Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy.'" — Lord Byron. 1839 Bush {Mrs. Forbes).

London, 1839-53 This valuable set — of which the early volumes are very scarce, and command a high price in Europe — is in most excellent condition. The Camden Society publications, which were carefully edited by the best British antiquaries, comprise deeply interesting matter of the highest archaeological, genealogical, historical, political and antiquarian inlormation.

Philological students will discover in these volumes much that will help them to the proper understanding of the origin of our language.

Together 11 vols. 8vo, fresh half roan, gilt. Brussels, 1845-51 ' ' The publication of M. Thiers' ' History of the Consulate and the Empire,' is an event of interest not confined to the world of literature. The charms of so facile a style, the method of so lucid a narrative, and the abundance of its authentic and hitherto unexplored materials, place this work amongst the most important productions of our time. During the course of his inquiries on the subject, the ex-Minister has had free access to many sources of information beyond the reach of every other biographer of Napoleon." " This great work deserves to be ranked as the foremost historical production of the age. M. Thiers indeed throws a fascination over every subject he touches. The translation is a perfect reflex of the original, and rendered with fidelity and spirit." — United Service Gazette. 332 THE HA WKINS LIBRAE Y. 2237 Tableau Historique de la Guerre de la Revolution de France.

These remarkable bibelots narrate the infamous libidin- osities and monstrous crimes against morality of the members of the Bonaparte family, from the grandmother of the late Emperor " Badinguet," down to his own immediate family. What the " Delices des Douze Cesars " exhibit in gems these brochures paint in words. According to them Napoleon the First, his brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, united in themselves a volume of turpitudes, the like of which Sodom and Gomorrah, Lesbos and Pompeii never witnessed. Incest, sodomy, tribadism and the infinite possibilities of salacious lubricity are revealed in these awful e.vposures as frequently recurring incidents in the lives of the Neros and Messalinas of the house of Bonaparte.

"This collection singular by the matter, is more so by the manner in which it ^ is done; it may be considered not only as a master-piece of the fancy of the Antients, but as a very remarkable monument of their talents and taste in en- graving and designing. My opinion is that a few only of these stones were executed before the empire of Augustus and Tiberius I am certain that the original stones, from which I had the designs taken, have been done by some excellent Greek artist [they] show how elegant was the noble simplicity of the Antients, and how far they carried that point to perfection which none of the Moderns have yet attained.

" ' I cannot understand all this fuss about cataloguing,' said a bookman to us recently; ' I never could see any mystery in it.' That is how the abominably ill-compiled catalogues that we constantly receive come to be written. ' There is no mystery in it. Any fool can catalogue books. ' That is the idea entertained by many ignorant people who seem to think that cataloguing books is as easy as not reading them It seems ridiculous to have to state nowadays that cataloguing is a science, only to be acquired after years of hard grinding labor, and then not to be mastered unless the student has natural qualifications for the pursuit.
