The Catalogue, of which this part is the first instahnent, will contain books of the Tudor and Sttiart period printed in England down to 1640, and English books of the same time printed abroad. This period not only inchides the golden age of English literature, but also embraces the first great stage of the Bjstory of Printing in England. The present portion of the Catalogue contains eight specimens from the press of Wynkyn db Wobde (Nos. 52, 88, 89, 94, 96, 111, 146 and 179) including some of the most important of his pro- ductions ; the fine Froissart (No. 182) and another volume (No. 171) from the press of Richaed Pynson, and the extremely rare Chronicle (No. 110), printed by William de Machlinia. To mention only a few of the other notable books in this part — there will be found the First Book of Common Prayer, 1549, Fabyan's Chronicle, 1533 (in a Reynes binding), and the First Edition of Tom Coryat's Crudities. As evidence of the rarity of many of the items it will be noticed how large a number are not recorded in Mr. Sayle's Catalogue of English Books to 1640 in Cambridge University Library. Messrs. Ellis will be pleased to forward further parts of this catalogue to collectors and librarians who express a wish to receive them.

Folio, 2?latfe Uctter, with 5 Ftjil-pagb and 154 smaller wood- cuts, blue morocco extra, the sides and back blind tooled and gilt, gilt edges, by Staggemeier, £120. Proctor, 9697. Grolier Club Cat. No. 33. One of the finest productions of Wynkyn de Worde's press. It is evident that he spared no pains in producing and illustrating with woodcuts the last literary work of his master, Caxton, who, as the colophon pathetically tells us, had " fynysshed it at the laste daye of his lyff." The present copy is a fine and tall one, measuring 10| by 7| inches. Like the Bodleian Library, Cambridge University, and Huth Library copies it is not quite perfect, three leaves being missing, viz., w5, w6, and xx6 (the last leaf with printer's device). It has, however, the very rare leaf of title, " Vitas Patrum," printed from a stencil plate, which is wanting in the Cambridge and other copies. The outer margins of the first three leaves are re- paired, but altogether it is a most desirable copy of a memorial volume to Caxton by his apprentice and fellow-worker. The Hoe copy, with defects in three leaves, realized 2,300 dollars. 95 CHARLES I.^ — Epithalamium Illustriss. et Telicisp. Principum Caroli Regis, et H.

Enprynted at London in fletestrete at the sygne of y sonne by Wynkyn de Worde [1507]. Sm. ito, 2?Iatfe Utttcr, eight leaves in facsimile {title, table, and Al, L\, 06 and Hhl), 22 Fine WOODCUTS and Wynkyn de Worde's Caxton device on the last leaf, brown morocco, blind tooled, gilt edges, £45. Very Rake. Not in Sayle's Catalogue. Preceding the imprint is Caxton's statement beginning " This boke waa c5pyled and made at y request of Kynge Phylyp of Frauce i:i y" yero of thyoarnacio of our lorde moolxxix & translated or reduced, cute of Frensshe into englysshe by me wyllya Caxton at requeste of a marchaut & mercer of London." It ends with these words : "' whyche translacyon or reducynge out of frensshe in to englysshe was achyeued, fynysshed & accomplysshed the xiii day of Septembre in y= yere of thyn- carnacyon of our lorde Mcccco & vii [1507] The xxii yere of the reygne of Kynge Henry the seuenth." It is curious that instead of the original date of Caxton's translation [1484] Wynkyn de Worde should have substituted the date [1507] at which he evidentty printed the book. The numerous very curious woodcuts make it one of the most interesting books that issued from his press. 97 CELESTINA.— The Spanish Bawd, represented in Celestina : or, The Tragicke-Coraedy of Calisto and Melibea. Wherein is contained, besides the pleasantnesse and sweet- nesse of the stile, many Philosophicall Sentences, and Pro- fitable instructions necessary for the yoiinger sort ; shewing the deceits and subtilties housed in the bosomes of false seruants, and Ctmny-Catohing Bawds.

The Polychronicon must ever be a book of great interest as the earliest history printed in the English language, and therefore forming the historical library of our ancestors till the Tudor chroniclers arose, such as Fabian, Hall, Grafton, etc. This edition is almost an exact reprint of that of Wynkyn de Worde of 1495, and has at back of the title the metrical Introduction. It is extremely rare, and considered the chef-d' cBiivre of the press of Peter Treveris. The title-page is certainly one of the handsomest of any of the period, being printed in red and black, with a large and spirited woodcut of St. George and the Dragon, which is repeated on the last leaf. The Hoe copy realized 300 dollars.

FIRST and most precious edition of " Holinshed's Chroni- cles," commonly known as the " Shakespeare Edition," from the extensive use made of it by the great dramatist, who has frequently incorporated the very words of Holinshed into his historical plays. At page 243 of " The History of Scotland " begins the History of Macbeth, which formed the groundwork of his great tragedy ; and a, woodcut is here given which represents Macbeth and Banquo meeting with the three weird sisters. In his Dedication to Lord Burleigh, Holinshed acknowledges his obhgations to Reginald Wolfe the printer (died 1573) who amassed the materials Holinshed made use of. Such a genuine unwashed copy with rough leaves in each volume is probably unique. It measures \\^ by 7s in. Grolier Club Cat. No. 146.

William Herman, the author, was bom at Salisbury and educated partly at Winchester. He became Master of Eton in 1485, and afterwards Vice-Provost ; he died there in 1535 and was buried in the college chapel. He dedicates this book to William Atwater, Bishop of Lincoln, who was a Fellow of Eton and had been Canon of Windsor. Facing the dedication are congratulatory verses in Latin by William Lilly, the famous grammarian and Master of St. Paul's School ; John Kightwise, second master of that school, who had been educated at Eton ; and Robert Aldrich. The last, who was schoolmaster at Eton, also contributes art intro- ductory epistle. The work was doubtless originally intended to instruct the young Etonians in general knowledge, as well as in the Latin language, and the pithy sentences in English (with their Latin equivalents), of which the book consists, are arranged under various headings, and contain some interesting allusions to the habits and customs of the time. In the chapter devoted to Sports and Games we have such remarks as : "I haue leyde many gynnys, grynnys, pottis, and other : for to take fisshe." " Thou playest f eatly at the tynis and very quyuerly." " My cocke had the best in this fyght." " I delyte to se enterludis." " Kepe and obbey the lawe of the game." " We wyll pley with a ball full of wynde." " Let us daunce the wyndynge daunce," etc., etc. 241 HOWSON (Dr. John), A Sermon preached at St. Maries in Oxford, the 17 day of November, 1602, in defence of the Festivities of the Church of England, and namely that of her Maiesties Coronation.
