" When all that is worldly turns to dross around us, books only retain their steady value. When 
 friends grow cold, and the converse of intimates languishes with vapid civility and commonplace, 
 these only continue the unaltered countenance of better days, and cheer us with that true friendship 
 which never deceived hope or deserted sorrow." — Washington Irving. 
 
 Henry Stevens suggested nearly a quarter of a century ago that — "libraries are an 
 index of a nation's, as well as an individual's wealth, taste and character. " Judged by 
 this rule the Library of Rushton M. Dorraan, of Chicago, attests most strongly his 
 mental individuality. His collection proves clearly his cosmopolitan and cultured 
 instincts. 
 
 He has a library that can well be compared as superior to the Farnum, and fully 
 equal to the Menzies, both of which were dispersed by the hammer of Geo. A. Leavitt 
 & Co., as the Dorman unique and valuable assemblage of literature will be about 
 the end of March next. 
 
 During the twelve years he was engaged in the collection of his four thousand 
 volumes, Mr. Dorman was not^" led away by any of those meteor-like manias which 
 sometimes possess very intelligerit men, and bring disgrace upon the good old cause of 
 Bibliophilism." Mr. Dorman was not a bibliopegist of that kind. With Seneca, he 
 believed — " leisure without books is the sepulture of the soul." His library has only 
 the antique about it in order to cpntrast more strongly with the living issues of the 
 present in art, religion, philosophy and science, for a considerable portion, if not all, 
 was gathered by him as working material for his remarkable volume published by the 
 Lippincotts, entitled — " The Origin of Primitive Superstitions and their Development 
 into the Worship of Spirits and the Doctrine of Spiritual Agency among the Aborigines 
 
 of America." 
 
 * « 
 * 
 
 The Library of Mr. Dorman can be described in general terms as art books and 
 
 miscellaneous literature. There is hardly a volume in the collection which is not 
 
 encased in the very finest reliure, and all are the best copies obtainable as to condition. 
 
 It is a union of representative, literary nuggets of the choicest character. The major 
 
 portion consists of large paper or special copies with extra illustrations in almost new 
 
 bindings, which make the library glitter before the eyes in serried rows of burnished 
 
 sheen and rainbow tints. 
 
 * * 
 * 
 
 Mr. Dorman's collection admirably illustrates the evolution of typography from the 
 period when the mediaeval illuminator made way for the rude xylographical artist, and 
 he, in turn, for the invention of movable printing types by Johanp Gensfleisch, 
 surnamed Zum Gutenberg. 
 
 There are no less than twenty illuminated vellum manuscripts, the most splendid of 
 which is the magnificen* " Hours of the Blessed Virgin," belonging to Galeaz Maria 
 Sforza, Duke of Milan, and executed for him by the deft workmanship of Fillipino 
 Lippi, the celebrated fifteenth cencury Florentine illuminator. 
 
 Painted and written on the finest vellum are other beautiful paleographical specimens 
 ranging from the huge, brass- bossed choir book down to the diminutive ''Prions" 
 suitable for devotion in the oratory of the grande-dame of the moyen-age. 
 
 Josephus, Tacitus and other writers of antiquity are also here and on vellum. 
 
 * * 
 
 Attention cannot fail to be attracted to a curious edition of the " Biblia Pauperum " 
 consisting of forty leaves of roughly executed drawings of New Testament subjects 
 and which has been styled "A New Biblia Pauperum." Fac-similes in the library 
 show the difference between these impressions from the original blocks and modern 
 fac-simile process reproductions of the early fifteenth century block books. 
 
It is no easy matter in such a gathering of unique, exquisite and rare books, to 
 suggest one ensaraple as more important than another, but I will select some gems. 
 
 Mr. Dorman's copy of the first folio Shakespeare, although not perfect, is most 
 desirable, a very few fac-simile pages having been added to the book, which has been 
 carefully mended where necessary by the skilled hands of Mr. George Trent. 
 
 A lovely volume exhibiting the "Hindoo Pantheon" comprises forty water-color 
 paintings of the great East-Indian deities, executed by native artists and collected by 
 Prof. De Gubernatis while in the Orient. These are handsomely bound in red morocco 
 extra. 
 
 Original artistic work is also shown in a set of water-colors, descriptive of Italy and 
 drawings from the brushes of the facetious caricaturists Cruikshank and Rowlandson. 
 
 Three unique copies have hardly ever been excelled in this country, namely: — Howard 
 Staunton's edition -of Shakespeare, splendidly extra illustrated with twelve hundred 
 plates of the brightest impreisions ; the works of Lord Byron, to which are added India 
 proofs and the very choice Cruikshank plates; Granger's "History of England," very 
 much enlarged and including the portraits from Noble and Caulfield, as well as other 
 important insertions. 
 
 There may be judiciously grouped together three other valuable and extra fine works, 
 to wit :^King Louis Phillippe's copy of Napoleon's "Egypt"; Lord Kingsborough's 
 " Mexican Antiquities," painted by hand; and Hall and McKinney's " Indians," that 
 
 grand work published in three volumes with colored plates. 
 
 * * 
 
 * 
 
 But the most noteworthy division of the Dorman Collection to many, will be the 
 the Cruikshankiana. This embraces some five hundred numbers, the larger part of 
 them proofs on India paper, and all original editions in the finest state. Many of the 
 separate plate impressions were the gift of the dead artist. 
 
 Equally desirable from an art standpoint are : 
 
 The choicest copy of Claude Lorraine's ' ' Liber Veritatis " ever offered at auction, 
 "being proofs selected by the London bibliopole Quaritch from three copies. 
 
 Turner's "Gallery," large paper, proofs before letters on India paper, - also proof 
 sets of the "England and Wales," and "Annual Tours.'' 
 
 The excessively rare illustrations by William Blake to Dante and of which only 
 twenty copies were issued, likewise an equally rare and uncut Young's " Night 
 Thoughts," issued in 1797, with the designs of the " Pictor Ignotus." 
 
 That superb example of modern French chromo-lithography Jehan Foucquet's 
 illuminations, elegantly bound in mosaic morocco. 
 
 The now very scarce " Chronicle of England," with the charmingly colored vignettes 
 of Doyle. 
 
 Laurence Sterne's "Sentimental Journey," both the French and Bouton editions 
 de-luxe, the former on Japan paper. 
 
 Roberts' " Holy Land, Egypt and Nubia," the best editions, 
 
 Meyriclf's "Ancient Armour," Mclan's " Clans of Scotland," and the Abbotsford 
 " Waverley," exceptionally fine copies, with which may be further suggested beautiful 
 examples of FLixman, Lacroix, Ottley, Shaw and Strutt, whose rarest work must not be 
 forgotten, the " Hoyda Angel Cynnan." 
 
 » * 
 
 V * 
 
 The " Frescoes" of Peter Paul Rubens; the " Loggie " of Raffaele Sanzio, India 
 
 •proofs; the "Luxembourg Gallery," proofs before the numbers ; and the " Hommes 
 
 lUustres de Louis XIV.," engraved by Edelinck, Nanteuil, and their contemporaries — 
 
 present with the works already named, and many more that might be, an exposition of 
 
 art seldom rivalled. 
 
 * « 
 
 » 
 
 In the way of facetious illustration and French Erotica the collection is strong. I 
 
 pick out as the best of their ilk: — a unique Beranger in five volumes ; the Farmer 
 
 General edition .of the " Contes " of.La Fontaine ; Boccaccio with.the'Gravelot plates; 
 
 Prince Demidoff's copy of the " Pucelle " of Voltaire; Dorat's " Baissrs " and 
 
" Fables " in crushed levant double ; and the magnificent 1780 Madrid Edition of the 
 "Don Quixote" of Miguel Cervantes, not only illustrated with its own beautiful 
 proofs before letters, but added thereto an extra set by Picart, inserted by David. 
 
 ' ' ■ *- # 
 
 * 
 
 Mr. Dorman collected quite a number of modern de-luxe editions, such as : — 
 Thackeray, l.ickens, Richardson, Fielding, Carlyle, Emerson, Hawthorne, DeFoe, Pepys 
 and Poe, the last named with an extra set of satin impressions. His " large paper " 
 American Statesmen are very fine, and include Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, 
 Franklin, Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Adams, et hoc genus omne. There are large paper, 
 sets of the " Noctes Ambrosianae," Lamb, Lavater, Macaulay and Ruskin. 
 
 * « 
 » 
 
 The Dorman Library has some excellent high-class bibliogi'aphy. I need only 
 specify'Silvestre's " 'Paleography,"' Westwood's " Anglo-Saxon and Irish Manuscripts," 
 and the "pater bibUographiEe " Dibdin, in whose zealously written volumes will be 
 found a large quantity of inserted original manuscript letters from his tasteful pen. 
 
 Side by side with these, one can worthily place three of Mr. Dorman's jewels — his 
 1470 Sweynheim and Pannartz ; his 1491 Venice Dante; and his 1514 Hardouin 
 ' ' Missal, " printed on vellum, with broad margins that would ravish the soul of a 
 
 Sybarite. 
 
 * * 
 * 
 
 Many are the other departments of literature that could be other than generalized, 
 
 but the catalogue itself must be searched assiduously, and when found, notes made of 
 
 the oriental literature and metaphysics; the works upon miniature painting; the astrology, 
 
 occultism and theosophy; the eighteenth century almanacs ; the drama; heraldry; the 
 
 chap books; the Americana; the Greek and Latin classics; the Haslewood reprints and 
 
 Pickering imprints; and last but not least of all, such delightful symposia in ceramics 
 
 as Audsley and Bowes' rapturous volumes. 
 
 * * 
 # 
 
 The two hundred lots of prints must not be disregarded. These include etchings 
 by Rembrandt, Durer, Claude Lorraine, Edelinck, Marc Antonio, Bartolozzi, Beham, 
 Jost Amman, Raphael Morghen, Nanteuil, Strange, Wille, Sharp, Van Dyck, Henri- 
 quel-Dupont, Aristide Louis, Druvet, Berwic, Desnoyers, and other masters of the 
 burin. In connection with this part of the Dorman Collection must be remarked the 
 unique examples of Incunabulic illustrations culled from fifteenth century black letters, 
 as well as a carefully chosen selection of proof engravings and etchings to the writings 
 
 of Jean Jacques Rousseau.

 To the bibliophile, art collector and librarian, the' Dorman sale will afford an 
 unequalled opportunity to obtain many choice items that it is impossible to purchase in 
 America and almost nearly so on the other side of the Atlantic, as good books are 
 becoming rarer and rarer. 
 
 The large public libraries of the world are gradually engulfing not only all the 
 mediaeval manuscripts, but also those scarce works printed, until twenty years ago, in 
 such small editions as five hundred and two hundred and fifty copies. The result is 
 that the private collector can only seize such chances as may come to him through the 
 medium of the book-auction mart, where he can indulge in good-humored rivalry with 
 
 the biWiopolist as well as his brother bibliophile, for now, as in Dibdin's age " the 
 
 surplusage of -wealth, in these ' piping times of peace,' finds a vent in the channel of 
 book purchasing." C S.

NOTICE TO BOOKBUYERS. 
 
 To better accommodate the distant buyers to whom we mail 
 Catalogues, and for parties unable to be present, the Auctioneers 
 will execute all orders treb of charge. In ordering from 
 our Catalogues give the number of the lot, as well as the 
 FIRST WORD OF TITLE, and extreme limit per volume, or (if 
 engravings and pamphlets) per piece, which will be used only 
 in competition, or exactly as the purchaser would bid for him- 
 self. If unlimited orders are given, a proper discretion will be 
 exercised. 
 
 Our Catalogues are compiled by experts, who endeavor to give 
 buyers, as far as practicable, a fair idea of the condition of 
 every lot offered for sale. We, however, neither guarantee the 
 absolute correctness of any description, nor the perfect con- 
 dition of any lot. 
 
 It should "be understood that each lot is sold separately, and 
 by itself, as catalogued, and without reference to any other lot. 
 Orders to purchase sent to us should, therefore, be for each lot 
 on its own merits. 
 
 Purchases sent direct to the Auctioneers are alvtats 
 made as much belovt the amount named in the order as 
 CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANT. At Icast scventy-five per cent, of 
 the lots purchased at our book and engraving sales have, as a 
 rule, been sold to customers resident outside of the City of New 
 York. Purchasers living in or near New York should examine, 
 previous to sale and while on exhibition, all lots they may wish to 
 bid for. Out-town buyers should insist that their agents take the 
 trouble to examine all lots on which they send orders. This would 
 save annoyance to both auctioneers and actual purchasers, as 
 
 NO LOTS ARE RETURNABLE. 
 
 Few bookbuyers, comparatively, are aware of the many 
 advantages of attending our sales, and of the facility with 
 which a good library may be completed. Often at these sales, 
 libraries, which have been selected by persons of judgment, are 
 distributed to all parts of the United States. This enables buy- 
 ers to profit by the experien(ie of others, and at the same time to 
 make selections of choice editions and valuable books, often at 
 much less price than they could be procured from other sources. 
 
 Consignments of large or small collections solicited.

 The binding of the above volume is a remarkable specimen of late 
 fifteenth century work in the style of the period of Henry II. or Diane 
 de Poitiers. In the centre of the sides are 12 compartments in which 
 are gilt tooled the monogram "A. A." or "V. A.," flowers, hands

 At the Storrs sale Geo. A. Leavitt & Co. sold the Missal of Pope 
 John the Twenty-second for $1,250. Someof our leading bibliopolists 
 in America have even obtained larger sums for illuminated manuscripts. 
 
 In a recent catalogue issued by a Broadway firm, the sum of one 
 THOUSAND dollars was asked for a fifteenth century Flemish missal, 
 with seven full-page miniatures and thirteen elaborately illuminated 
 letters. Other " HorEE," or Hours, in the same catalogue, range from 
 $800 to $125, and it is therein truthfully stated that—" the difiiculty of

 to the German Government for ;^io,ooo, i. e.., fifty thousand dollars ! !

 calendar is — " azure, 2 ears of corn or, in base a mullet argent, and in 
 chief on a fess or, a rose gules." Above is the motto — " Scio cvi 
 credidi et certvs svm. " The other emblazonment, and which like that 
 just described, seems to have been added at a later date is an impaled 
 shield. The " baron " side bears the same arms, but the " femme " im- 
 palement is — "argent a chevron gules between three trefoils gules, 
 inchief a five-pointed star." The motto above is — " Mihi Adheerere

 LARGE FOLIO VELLUM CHOIR BOOK. 
 
 lo J«S.— CHORAL MASS BOOK with the Musical 
 Score. On Vellum. Large folio- (21 and three- 
 quarters BY 15 AND A quarter INCHES). AnCIENT 
 
 leather binding on wood with brass bosses, etc. 
 
 S^c, XVIII. 
 
 UNIQUE vellum original manuscript. 
 
 This mastodon choir book consists of 113 leaves of vellum. It con- 
 tains six large illuminated miniatures of religious subjects, such as 
 Adam and Eve (both nude and before the Fall), also many ornamental 
 capitals. It was executed in 1717, and the name of the artist is given 
 on the last page. 
 
 The binding is a veritable curiosity in the art of reliure. The covers 
 are wooden, covered with coarse-grained calf. On each side are five 
 Gothic brass ornaments consisting of bosses or knobs. Those at the 
 corners are triform, and in the centre cruciform. On the front, nailed 
 to the leather, are two strips of wood. Two strong leather strap-clasps 
 fasten on metal pins. 
 
 There is no doiibt that the binding is some centuries older than the 
 book itself. This often occurred in European monastic houses and 
 churches. When the text of a choir book became spoiled by use, the 
 ancient covers were renewed with fresh " Offices." 
 
 ANOTHER CURIOUS CHOIR BOOK. 
 
 II JWS.— PSALTER FOR Choir Use with the MUSICAL 
 SCORE written on rough paper, with handsome and 
 curious illuminated title-page, with figures of the Infant 
 Christ, Saints, and the date 1629 thereon, also some 50 illu- 
 minated capitals. Large folio (25 and a half inches by 15 
 and five-eighths), old sheep. S^c, XVII. 
 
 UNIQUE AND CURIOUS EXAMPLE of a Folio Choral 
 Psalter. A few of the pages are mended, and the volume is incom- 
 plete—between pages 30 and 39 the leaves of another book are in- 
 serted. This large folio contains some fifty illuminated capitals, partly 
 in gold and colors. Seven of these have miniatures, some of which are 
 of a grotesque character and others are of the ornamental style of the 
 beginning of the seventeenth century. The volume once did service 
 in a monastic house of the Order of Minorites, as the title reads : 
 
 " Psalterivm Chorale secundu consuetudine. Sancte Eomane 
 Ecclesie pertinet ad locum Sanctisse. Trinitas ordinis minor, strictvs 
 obseru. "

 UNIQUE AND THE MOST SPLENDID missal on the FINEST 
 VELLUM, EXECUTED BY THE MOST CELEBRATED ITALIAN 
 ARTIST IN ILLiUMINATIONAL work, ever offered for sale 
 IN America. 
 
 This TRANSCENDENTLY BEAUTIFUL WORK OF ART 
 has no equal in this country either in historical associ- 
 ations OR the fullness of IIXUMINATED CAPITALS which 
 cover every page. 
 
 The Missal was executed in the middle of the fifteenth century for 
 Galeazzo Maria Sforza, Duke of Milan and brother-in-law of Louis XL, 
 King of France. 
 
 From the possession of its original owner and his family, it found its 
 way into the library of the Royal House of Naples. Amid the troubled 
 times of revolution, it passed into the possession of Cardinal Salviati, 
 and still later became the property of his heirs, the Marquises of Tocca, 
 in Naples. The miniatures are all of wonderful fineness, and Cardinal 
 Salviati considered them the most delicate specimens as to technique 
 that he had among the paleographical gems upon his shelves. The 
 quality of vellum, the careful writing and the illuminated capitals 
 should make this lovely book the centre-piece of and the best example 
 in any public library or private collection in the United States. 
 
 All the arabesques, mottoes, historic devices, animals, etc., on the 
 five fully illustrated pages relate to the Sforza family, its traditions 
 and possessions. It is wonderful how brilliantly the burnished gold 
 still shines like plates of metal from the immaculate vellum. Unlike 
 many of the more important missals offered for sale, this is absolutely 
 perfect, even to the blank pages before certain of the offices included in 
 the volume. The letter " D " seems to be the most constantly used 
 initial throughout the book, and relates doubtless to the ducal title of 
 which Galeazzo Maria was the second representative in the Sforza 
 family. 
 
 The five entirely illuminated pages are worthy of lengthy descrip- 
 tion. The first page in the volume has as its most prominent deco- 
 ration a large letter " D," in which is depicted the "Annunciation of 
 the Virgin." The borders are one mass of lovely floreation. The 
 Sforza tulip bulb is the most frequently used. In the borders are four 
 angels, two of whom are at devotion and two are singing from open

 booksin their hands. At the top of the page, the "dove," signifying 
 the Holy Ghost, is supporting a label with the motto "a bon droit." 
 The heraldic emblazonment is very pronounced. At each side of the 
 centre borders are armorial achievements. To the dexter is the crest— 
 "a burning branch proceeding from a ducal coronet," below is an im- 
 paled and gules mantled shield— "or, three eaglets marshaled horizon- 
 tally" with the impalement the—" Biscia of Milan, i. c. sable a ser- 
 pent azure and or devouring a child. " The sinister emblazonment is the 
 particular cognizance of Duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza, but somewhat 
 different to the device given as an illustration at the head of this descrip- 
 tion and which is fac-similed from Mrs. Bury Pallisser's " Historic 
 Devices" (page 192). That in the missal is— " a lion seated amid 
 the flames,' holding two water buckets on a rugged staff, the head of the 
 hon entirely mantled sable with the motto ' Ich hof ' ( ' I hope ' ) con- 
 tinuously repeated." 
 
 This badge was inherited and used by Duke Galeazzo Maria Sforza 
 from his maternal ancestor Galeazzo Visconti. Mrs. Bury Pallisser 
 writes that — "he shared the inheritance of his uncle the Cardinal, suc- 
 cessively with his two brothers Matteo and the wicked Bemabo. He 
 [Galeazzo Visconti] was a learned prince, the friend of Petrarch, and 
 connected with England by the marriage of his daughter Violante to 
 Lionel, Duke of Clarence. When in Holland he killed a knight whose 
 singular device on his shield he transferred to his own — a burning 
 branch, tizzone, from which two water buckets were suspended, with 
 the motto ' Humentia siccis ' ( ' The wet with the dry ' ), the exact 
 meaning of which is not known, but it probably was intended to convey 
 that ardor must be moderated by prudence. Galeazzo bore this device 
 upon his coins. " The black and silver mantling may have been added 
 to the device and the lion's head covered during the later misfortunes 
 of the Sforzas. 
 
 At the bottom of the first page of the Missal is another heraldic achiev- 
 ment, a quartered shield, one and four — " or an eagle sable," two and 
 three — "sable the Biscia as above." Over the shield is a ducal coronet 
 and on the sides thereof are the letters " G. Z." and " M. A." 
 
 The second large illumination is somewhat like that just described. 
 It is similarly floreated. At the top is the ducal coronet of Milan and 
 a large initial " D, " in which is a miniature of the " Virgin adoring 
 the Infant Christ." At the side of this miniature are thrice repeated 
 the rugged staff with the water buckets. At the bottom of the page 
 are the arms with the "Biscia" charge impaling— " a golden shield 
 with three black eaglets," the burning bush and ducal coronet crest is 
 used again with the letters " G. M." 
 
 The third large illumination has a miniature of " the Annunciation " 
 within a letter "D." The dove with the motto " i bon droit " the 
 "Biscia" shield impaling— "three black eaglets, " the lion with the 
 two water buckets, the " Ich hof," mantled head and the initials 
 " G. M." are the most noticeable decorations of the page. 
 
THE DORMAN LIBRARY. 13 
 
 The initial "D." and within it a miniature of the " Madonna and 
 Child " is the principal feature of the fourth large illumination. Above 
 all are the initials " G. M." and the quartered shield of eagles and 
 " Biscia." To the centre and at the side are once more the lion, 
 water buckets and " Ich hof " mantling. At the bottom of this page 
 are the crest of the Sforza and the initials " G. M. " on each side of 
 the "Biscia"' shield impaling " three eaglets. " 
 
 The fifth full-page illumination is the most interesting of all. Like 
 the other pages the Sforza crest and arms with Galeazzo's badge and 
 initials " G. Z," " M. A." and motto "Ich hof" are noticeable, 
 but in the centre of the page there is a large initial letter "S." within 
 which is a very fine miniature portrait of the ducal owner of the missal. 
 Galeazzo Maria Sforza is depicted as a man with reddish beard and 
 hair, and the prominent, aquiline nose of his father. Upon his flame- 
 colored locks is a green cap of maintenance, surmounted by a ducal 
 coronet. He is habited in green with a red and jeweled surtout and a 
 cross upon his breast. Whispering in his ear is an old gray-headed 
 man representing the first person of the Trinity. 
 
 As to the possessors of this illuminated heirloom . The celebrated 
 Italian family of the Sforza, which played a most important part in the 
 affairs of Italy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, swayed the 
 destinies of Northern Italy for many years, as reigning monarchs, and 
 allied themselves with the first sovereign houses in Europe. Its founder 
 was a peasant of Cotignola, in the Romagna, by namfe Giatomo, or 
 Muzio, sometimes combined by historians into ' ' Giacomuzzo Atten- 
 dolo," who was born 1369, and deserted his trade of wood-cutting to 
 become a " condottiere. " By his intelligence and courage he rose to a 
 high position in the band of freebooters. His grandson Galeazzo 
 Maria, for whom the above described missal was executed, often used 
 to relate the following anecdote of his grandsire's change of life : — 
 ' ' One day, while working in the fields near his native village, Cotignola, 
 he was asked by some soldiers to join them, on which he threw an axe, 
 which he happened to hold in his hand, into an oak, declaring that if it 
 remained in the tree, he would follow them, but that if it fell on the 
 ground he would continue in his former avocation, and that, by the 
 chance of the axe remaining, he was induced to adopt the profession 
 which made dukes of his descendants . " 
 
 _ Count Alberigo de Barbiano, the founder of Italian ' ' condottierism, " 
 bestowed upon him, on account of his prowess, the name of Sforza 
 [in Italian "the forcer "], and such was his reputation among his com- 
 rades, that he speedily found himself the independent leader of a band 
 of " condottieri," and offered his services to the King of Naples. 
 Queen Joanna II. made him constable of that kingdom, and in exercise 
 of his office he conquered the Aragonese and others who attempted 
 to deprive her of her dominions ; but dying soon after, on the 4th of 
 January, 1424, he left his devoted followers to the chieftainship of his

 natural son, Francesco Sf orza, then twenty-three years of age, who was 
 as brave and enterprising as himself. 
 
 Francesco, whose portrait is given thrice in his son's missal, as was 
 the custom of the time, sold his sword to the highest bidder, and with- 
 out the slightest scruple fought for or against the Pope, Milan, Venice 
 or Florence. He invented an improved system of tactics, and it soon 
 came to be taken for granted that victory was certain for the party 
 which he supported. It was thus no great act of condescension in the 
 Duke of Milan, the haughty Visconti, to confer upon him the hand of 
 his illegitimate daughter Bianca Visconti, with Cremona and Pontremoli 
 as a dowry, and the promise of succeeding to the Duchy itself. Mean- 
 time Sforza took the march of Ancona from the Pope, in 1434, and 
 added to it Pesaro, in 1443, and by a judicious combination of force 
 and stratagem, obtained his elevation to the Dukedom of Milan on the 
 26th of February, 1450, after the decease of his father-in law. He 
 solidly established his authority over all Lombardy, and several districts 
 south of the Po, acquired the esteem of Louis XI., who gave up to 
 him Savona and Genoa, and, after gaining the universal love of his 
 subjects, died on the 8th of March, 1466. Though uninstructed. he 
 possessed considerable eloquence, and loved and protected letters. The 
 successors to his power ' possessed few oj: none of his distinguished 
 talents. 1 
 
 The " Biscia," the cognizance of the Viscontis and former Dukes of 
 -Milan, became portion of the Sforza heraldic bearings, through his in- 
 heritance of the Duchy and marriage with the bastard heiress of the 
 Viscontis. The device of the "Biscia" is thus referred to by Mrs. 
 Bury Pallisser in her "Historic Devices," pages 185-86:— " Much 
 
 [Biscia of Milan.] 
 has been written as to the origin of the ' Biscia,' or serpent devouring 
 a child, borne as their arms by the Dukes of Milan. Some assign this 
 singular bearing to Ottone Visconti, who led a body of Milanese in the 
 train of Peter the Hermit, and at the Crusades fought and killed in 
 single combat the Saracen giant Volux, upon whose helmet was this 
 device, which Ottone afterwards assumed as his own, instead of the

 seven crowns he previously bore. Such is the version adopted by 
 Tasso, who enumerates Ottone among the Christian warriors : 
 
 " E '1 forte Otton che conquisto lo scudo, 
 " In cui dall' angue esce il fanciullo ignudo." 
 
 Gerusalemme Liberata, Canto i, st. 55. 
 " Otto fierce, whose valor won the shield 
 " That bears'a child and serpent on the field." ' 
 
 Hoole's Translation. 
 
 ' ' From another legend we learh that, when Count Boniface, Lord of 
 Milan, went to the Crusades, his child, born during his absence, was 
 devoured in its cradle by a huge serpent which ravaged the country. 
 On his return Count Boniface went in search of the monster, and found 
 him with a child in his mouth. He fought and slew him, but at the 
 cost of his own life. Hence his posterity bore the serpent .and child 
 as their ensign." 
 
 The heir of the great warrior Duke Francesco Sforza and Bianca 
 Visconti was Galeazzo Maria. History has very little to say in his 
 favor. He is charged with the foul murder of not only his first wife, 
 but that of his mother, who appears to have ever been willing to sacri- 
 fice herself for her fiendish offspring . At the time of his father's 
 death, Galeazzo, who was bom in 1444, was serving in the army of his 
 wife's sister's husband, Louis XI. Hastening to Milan in disguise, 
 and by the energy of his mother, he was proclaimed Duke. He gave 
 himself up entirely to luxury, debauchery and the perpetration of every 
 conceivable crime. His father had been the friend of Cosmo di 
 Medici and the Pontiff known as ' ' JEneai Sylvius. '' No future appeared 
 brighter than his, but after ten years of tyrannical misrule over the 
 Milanese, Galeazzo was assassinated by three conspirators on the 26th 
 of December, 1476, at the porch of Milan Cathedral. He has been 
 summed up by another as — " a true tyrant, gloating over the torments 
 of his victims, and a monster of debauchery, prodigality and ferocity, 
 without a single redeeming feature in his character." 
 
 His son, Giovanni Galeazzo Sforza [1476-1494], succeeded, under 
 the regency of his mother. Bona of Savoy, who held the reins of gov- 
 ernment with a firm hand. But she was forced to give up, in 1480, her 
 able coadjutor, Simonetta, to the vengeance of her brother-in-law, 
 Lodovico -Maria, surnamed "the Moor "from his black complexion; 
 and three days after Simonetta's execution, the ambitious Lodovico 
 banished herself and assumed the regency. 
 
 Finding the young Duke in his way, Lodovico put him and his wife, 
 Isabella of Calabria, in prison, and was immediately threatened with 
 attack by the King of Naples, a danger which he attempted to ward 
 off by giving his daughter Bianca, with a dowry of four hundred 
 thousand ducats, to the Emperor Maximilian I., and by stirring up 
 Charles VIII. of France to assert his claims to Naples. 
 
THE DORM AN LIBRAR Y. 
 
 Soon afterward Duke Giovanni Galeazzo died, poisoned, as some 
 believe, by his uncle, on the 20lh of October, 1494. 
 
 Lodovico-Maria [1494-1500] obtained his investiture as duke, and 
 becoming alarmed at the rapid progress of the French in Italy, he 
 joined the league against them, and was rewarded for his perfidy by 
 being driven from his duchy, which was seized by the troops of Louis 
 XII. 1499. The following year he made an ineffectual attempt to 
 regain "possession, was made prisoner and carried to France, where he 
 died in 1508. He possessed great talents, combined unfortunately 
 with a low morality, which led him to value smartness and astuteness 
 more than everything else. His encouragement of letters and of the 
 fine arts will preserve his name to posterity. 
 
 His eldest son, Massimiliano Sforza [1512-1515], regained the 
 duchy of Milan after the reverses suffered by Louis XII., and with the 
 aid of the Swiss steadily repulsed the various energetic attempts of 
 the French to recover it ; but after the battle of Marignan, 1515, he 
 abandoned his rights to the French for a pension of thirty thousand 
 ducats, glad to be free from the insolence and exactions of his allies 
 and the attacks of his enemies. 
 
 His brother, Francesco-Maria Sforza, succeeded nominally to the 
 Milanese Dukedom after the battle of Pavia, but he was a mere puppet 
 in the hands of Charles V., and on his death, on the 24th of October, 
 1535. and the extinction of the main line of the house of Sforza, the 
 duchy was quietly swallowed up by Austria. 
 
 The Lords of Pesaro, extinct in'1515, the Counts of Santa-Flora in 
 Tuscany, still existing, and the Dukes of Sforza Cesarini, descend 
 from collateral branches of the family. 
 
 The illuminator of this beautiful missal (the history of whose owners 
 we have just related), as already stated, was Francesco Filippo Lippi, 
 called "the Old." Pilkington thus describes him: — 
 
 " He was born at Florence, 1421. At the age of sixteen, being then 
 a novice in the convent of Carmelites, he had an opportunity of 
 seeing Masaccio at work, painting the chapel, which inspired him with 
 an eager desire to learn the art. 
 
 "He accordingly became a disciple of that master, and studied 
 design with inexpressible assiduity, making so rapid a progress that he 
 was called the Spirit of Masaccio. The praises given him by his 
 friends and instructor wrought so strongly on his mind that he threw 
 off the religious habit and devoted himself entirely to painting. 
 Before he left the convent, however, he painted for that house a pic- 
 ture of the Virgin and Child, with a glory, and some other religious 
 pieces of a small size. He endeavored to obtain as much instruction 
 as possible from Masaccio, and very happily imitated his manner, yet 
 the course of his studies was for some time interrupted by an accident 
 which detained him in Barbary for a year and a half. 
 
 "While amusing himself in the company of some of his friends on 
 board a felucca in the Mediterranean, a corsair, who was cruising near 
 
THE DORM AN LIBRARY. 17 
 
 the shore, took them prisoners and carried them into captivity. But 
 Lippi, having one day drawn the portrait of his master, with a piece of 
 charcoal, on a wall, gave so much pleasure to the person whom it rep- 
 resented by the novelty of the performance and exactness of resemb- 
 lance, that, after obliging Lippi to paint the portraits of a few other 
 persons, he generously restored him to his liberty. At his return to 
 Florence, he was employed by the Grand Duke, as well as by the 
 principal nobility and ecclesiastics, which last engaged him to paint 
 several noble compositions for their churches and convents. 
 
 " He was the first of the Florentine painters who attempted to 
 design figures as large as life, and the first who remarkably diversified 
 draperies or gave his figures the air of the antiques. Being, however, 
 a man of loose morals, he seduced a nun to elope with him from the 
 convent of Prato, where she sat to him as a model for the Virgin ; 
 and though all his friends severely reproached him for his misconduct, 
 yet he afterwards engaged in a fresh intrigue, for which he was pois- 
 oned by the parents of the lady. Other accounts state that he died of 
 poison at Spoleto, administered to him by a person in that city, with 
 whose wife he held a criminal conversation, while employed in paint- 
 ing the altar piece of the cathedral, the design of which picture was 
 exceedingly grand, though it was left unfinished by the death of the 
 artist in 1469. 
 
 " His principal works are ' The Decollation of St. John the 
 Baptist ' and the ' Martyrdom of St. Stephen ' in the church of Prato. 
 .His coloring was extremely agreeable, and his manner, like that of 
 Masaccio, was grand and elegant; his draperies were broad and loose, 
 and his figures had a competent degree of grace, with a good expres-

 Few Latin writers are of greater importance to the understanding 
 of the history of Rome than Caius Cornelius Tacitus. He was con- 
 nected with the best families of ancient Rome through his marriage 
 with the daughter of the Consul Julius Agricola. Like his father-in- 
 law he received political honors, beihg prsetor, one of thequindecemviri 
 at the " Ludi Seculares " and "Consul suff actus-" Neither the 
 time nor place of the birth or death of Tacitus are known. He was 
 the most intimate friend of Pliny, in whose collection of letters there 
 are eleven addressed to him. 
 
 Dr. William Smith writes : — " The extant works of Tacitus are — a 
 life of Agricola, his father-in-law; the ' HistoriiE ' which comprehended 
 the period from the second consulship of Galba, 68, to the death of 
 Domitian, g6, and the author designed to add the reigns of Nerva and 
 Trajan; the first four books alone are extant in a complete form; the 
 fifth book is imperfect ; the ' Annales,' which commence with the 
 death of Augustus, 14, and comprise the period to the death of Nero, 
 68, a space of fifty-four years ; the greater part of the fifth book is 
 lost, and also the seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, the beginning of the 
 eleventh and the end of the sixteenth, which is the last book ; the 
 treatise ' De Moribus et Populis Germanise,' describing the Germanic 
 nations ; and lastly the ' Dialogus de Oratoribus, ' a work whose 
 genuineness has been disputed, but probably without reason. The 
 moral dignity of Tacitus is impressed upon his works, the conscious- 
 ness of a love of truth, of the integrity of his purpose. His great 
 power is in the knowledge of the human mind, his insight into the 
 motives of human conduct ; and he found materials for this study in 
 the history of the emperors, and particularly Tiberius, the arch- 
 hypocrite, and perhaps half madman. The style of Tacitus is peculiar, 
 though it bears some resemblance to that of Sallust. In the ' An- 
 nals ' it is concise, vigorous and pregnant with meaning ; labored, but 
 elaborated with art, and stripped of every superfluity. A single word 
 sometimes gives effect to a sentence, and if the meaning of the word 
 is missed, the sense of the writer is not reached."

 St. Jerome, known also in biography as " Eusebius Hieronymus 
 Sophronius," was born on the confines of Dalraatia, circa 331-345. 
 He retired to the desert of Chalcis in 374, and became a priest at 
 Antioch four years later. For three years after he lived at Constanti- 
 nople in close intimacy with Gregory Naziangus. In 3S2, St. Jerome 
 came to Rome and acted as the secretary of Pope Damasius, engaging 
 in his great work of biblical revision. He was celebrated chiefly for 
 his Pelagian controversies and died on September 30, in the year 420. 
 Erasmus edited his works. St. Jerome is — ' ' universally regarded as

 interesting not only for its contents, but for the elegant language of 
 this scholarly Prince of the Catholic Church. 
 
 The illuminated title is one of the purest of its kind, being executed 
 in the interlaced Italian style of the Renaissance. The letter " P " 
 starts the text — amid the floreation is a Cupid swinging and at the 
 left-hand side is another Cupid playing a mandolin. On the right- 
 hand side of the title-page is a beautifully executed miniature portrait 
 of Eneas Sylvius habited in a cope and with a bejewelled tiara on his 
 head. At the top of the page and below are the heraldic bearings of 
 the Piccoloraini — " or, on a chief azure a rose or." The two shields 
 are surmounted by an ecclesiastical and tasselled hat. There are also 
 numerous capitals in black scattered throughout the text. 187 leaves 
 are in the clear and beautiful handwriting of a priestly illuminator 
 who thus colophons his work — " Hoc Pivm Opus Leonardus Calen- 
 dinus Presbiter indignus et Rector Sancti Vincentii de Prato In domo 
 R. D. Card. Papien. transcripsit." The balance of the leaves are in 
 another hand. 
 
 A few pages are wormed and the volume needs rebinding, but that 
 ought not to be considered of much importance when one regards the 
 value of this unique manuscript of the writings of one of the most 
 celebrated of the Roman Pontififs. 
 
 Pope Pius the Second was born 1405 and died in 1464. He is better 
 known, however, as j^ineas Sylvius. By a bull addressed to the uni- 
 versities of Paris and Cologne he condemned his own writings as 
 heretical, concluding with these memorable words — " Believe what I, 
 an old man, now say to you, and not what I wrote when I was young; 
 believe the pontiff rather than the private individual ; reject ^neas 
 Sylvius, and accept Pius II." 
 
 His nephew Francesco Piccolomini also became the head of the 
 Church and is known in history as Pius the Third, but he was neither 
 the man nor the scholar that his uncle was. 
 
 ' ' Pius II. , better known to scholars as jEneas Sylvius, caused a 
 secretary to set down at his dictation an account of his life, which had 
 some striking points of likeness to that of the present Pope. The 
 family of Piccolomini, like that of Pecci, was patrician, and the lot of 
 Pius II., like that of Leo XIII., was cast in one of the most troubled 
 epochs of the history of the Papacy. Born in 1405, in the midst of 
 the Great Schism, .lEneas Sylvius beheld the patrimony of the Church 
 despoiled, its authority suspended, and Christendom rent asunder in 
 the contest between Pope and Antipope. He lived to see the Christian 
 world suffer a still more grievous injury through the Ottoman conquest 
 of the New Rome founded on the Bosphorusby the first imperial con- 
 vert to Christianity, the New Rome, hallowed by the pious traditions 
 ■of eleven centuries, and which had been uncompromising in zeal for 
 the new faith when in Old Rome paganism was still potent. By these 
 calamitous events the whole career of iEneas Sylvius was overcast and

 moulded. His memoirs recount how his early manhood was spent in 
 the healing of the wounds inflicted on the Papacy by a schism of half 
 a century, and we know that the last years of his life, during which he 
 held the Papal chair, were devoted to a revival of the old crusading 
 spirit and of the concerted action which alone could rescue central 
 Europe from the fate of Constantinople. He was one of the few men 
 who, even in 1453, when the cross was wrenched from St. Sophia and 
 the wave of infidel invasion seemed about to strike the coasts of Italy, 
 never for an hour despaired of the Christian republic, and to him 
 belongs the credit of the federative policy which, long after he was 
 dead, was crowned with triumph at Lepanto." — New York Sun,

 UNIQUE, ORIGINAL FIFTEENTH CENTURY VELLUM MANUSCRIPT 
 
 of Josephus in Italian. This is a splendid volume. The title-page 
 has a Renaissance border beautifully interlaced in gold and colors, with 
 cupids, birds, etc. The initial letter "P" on the title-page is a fine 
 example of Itahan illumination. Opposite this, is a kind of architec- 
 tural tablet illuminated in gold and colors with the title of the volume 
 as on the title-page. There are eight fine large interlaced initial letters 
 in gold and colors. These commence each book of the author. The 
 volume is one of the most delightful of its kind and with a history, it 
 having belonged to a Pope, and still later to the Royal Family of 
 Naples. 
 
 The above described 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 Antiqui- 
 ties," 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 Archseology ' in order to show 
 the Roman conquerors of Jerusalem that the Jews did not deserve the 
 
THE DOORMAN LIBRARY. 23 
 
 contempt with which they were universally regarded." Another reason 
 for his authorship of the ' ' Antiquities " is that he desired to accommo- 
 date the Jewish religion to Latin tastes and prejudices. 
 
 The great Jewish historian was born at Jerusalem A. D. 37. Jo- 
 sephus 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 prophesied 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. lOO. It was in consequence of his being 
 a dependent of the Flavian family that he assumed the name of 
 Flavius.

 Gregory the Great, a father and saiht of the Catholic Church, is here 
 exhibited in lovely script and careful fifteenth century reliure, well be- 
 coming this celebrated sixth century Pontiff, who brought Britain 
 within the pale of Christianity. The works of Gregory fill four folio 
 volumes, and the above is the best known of the Saint of whom it has 
 been written — " he devoted himself altogether to God."

 UNIQUE MAGNIFICENT ORIGINAL VELLUM ILLU- 
 MINATED MANUSCRIPT, EXECUTED in the earliek portion 
 OF the fifteenth century. 
 
 The NINETY-FOUR MINIATURES in this remarkable volume are very 
 curious in detail and in the scenes represented. All are rectangular 
 in shape, and measure some three by four inches. They each have a 
 floreated half border, and an illuminated initial letter on burnished 
 gold below, commencing the new narrative. Among the episodes 
 depicted are some of the most horrible and terrifying in history. 
 The illuminator wallowed in a very carnival of blood and torture — 
 murder and suicide — rapine and rack — disembowelling and gibbetting 
 — war and waste — in fact, everything that could tend to make one 
 quiver with horror. Many of the incidents are, however, very pathetic 
 iu their delineation, and the loves of troubadour and " fayre ladye " 
 are sometimes shown, but generally with a tragical finale. 
 
 An interesting feature of the illuminations is the knowledge they 
 give us respecting the costumes, arms, furniture, manners and customs 
 of the people of medievalism. 
 
 The work only commences at the second folio and at the termina- 
 tion of a phrase belonging to the first chapter: "Je fuz moult esbahy 
 et commencay merusement (merveilleusement) regarder ces deux 
 vieillars qui a peine pouvoient parler qui avoient este faiz sans ouvrage 
 de nature." A few other folios are lacking, there are eight blank

 pages, a few miniatures are slightly rubbed and one is damaged by a 
 hole. On one of the pages are some manuscript notes. 
 
 The text is in old French and was translated from the original by 
 Laurent de Premierf ait, who was an — " el^ve du diocese de Troyes, 
 puis secretaire du celebre bibliophile Jean, Due De Berry, troisi^me 
 fils du roi Jean i qui il a dedie sa traduction, achevee le 15 Avril 1409. 
 II mourut en 1418. Cette traduction, publiee par Verard en 1494 dans 
 un style rajeuni, n'est pas la premiere en date ; elle avait ete precedee 
 d'une plus ancienne, executee en 1401 pour un anonyme, mais reste 
 inedit. Une troisiime traduction faite en 1458 par Pierre Favre, cure 
 d'Aubervilliers, avait en tout d'abord les honneurs de I'impression 
 (Bruges, Colard Mansion, 1476).'' 
 
 The lot following this splendid tome is the English translation, and 
 was the property of Mr. Dorman, before the above came into his col- 
 lection quite recently. 
 
 Boccaccio, who is most popular on account of his " Decameron," 
 vprote many other books besides that and the " Falle of Princes." His 
 place in literature is thus located by Sismondi in the " History of the 
 Italian Republics " — ' ' A crowd of poets at this epoch obeyed the same 
 inspiration. The name of Petrarch, born in 1304, and that of Boc- 
 caccio, in 1313, both Florentines, are the fcost .universally known. 
 The second owes his celebrity to the light, elegant and easy prose of 
 his novels more than to his poetry. Both have descended to posterity 
 with their Italian writings alone, which they regarded only as relaxa- 
 tions from their labor, and not with their Latin works, upon which they 
 
 depended for their glory Petrarch and Boccaccio 
 
 attained a degree of celebrity, credit and power, unequalled by any 
 other men in the middle ages ; not by reason of those merits which we 
 feel at the present day, but as the pontiffs and interpreters of 
 antiquity." 
 
 Warton describes the text of the above volume of Boccaccio as fol- 
 lows: — "The work is not improperly styled a set of tragedies. It is 
 not merely a narrative of men and women eminent for their rank and 
 misfortunes. The plan is perfectly dramatic, and partly suggested by 
 the pageants of the times. Every personage is supposed to appear 
 before the poet, and to relate his respective sufferings ; and the figures 
 of these spectres are sometimes finely drawn." 
 
 From the splendid workmanship of the miniatures, the beauty of the 
 vellum, the myriads of capital letters, the many charmingly designed 
 ornamental borders, and the large size of this majestic volume, there 
 can be but little doubt that this elegant manuscript was executed for 
 perhaps King Charles the Seventh, whose reign it honors as paleo- 
 graphical evidence of the literary culture of the French people five hun- 
 dred years ago.

 Very rare and black letter. This is the exceedingly scarce 
 Tottell edition of — "the Boke called de John Bochas,'' of which the 
 first edition was printed in England by Richard Pynson in 1494. The 
 title of above copy has been mounted. A few pages are wormed. It 
 appears to lack folio " Ixviii.," and the verso page of " bdx." has been 
 pasted over by error in mounting. Like a considerable number of copies 
 it does not include "the Daunce of Machabree," which finishes on 
 folio ccxxiii. The Dorman copy concludes at folio "ccxx." The 
 pagination elsewhere is peculiar. 
 
 " On the whole, I am of the opinion that Lydgate made considera- 
 ble addition to those amplifications of our language in which Chaucer, 
 Gower and Occleve led the way ; and that he is the first of our writers 
 whose style is clothed with that perspicuity in which the English lan- 
 guage appears this day to an English reader."— Warton.

 UNIQUE AND MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE of Oriental 
 ILLUMINATION IN GOLD AND COLORS. These beautiful pictures were 
 collected in India by Professor De Gubernatis, the author of various 
 works on mythological subjects, the " Mythologie des Plantes," etc. 
 
 The first illumination is of the trimurti resting on a lotus with the 
 nimbus encircling the three heads ; the head-dresses are exquisitely 
 executed in eight shades of color, the serpents' heads being most per- 
 fectly delineated. The second painting represents Vishnu reposing on 
 the serpent Ananta and contemplating the creation. A fac-simile of 
 this, colored after the original, appears in Silvestre's "Paleography." 
 
 Among the other subjects of delineation are Kali the destroyer, into 
 whose mouth are entering human beings, whose earrings are human 
 beings, and all whose many bodily ornaments are parts of the human 
 bodies that have been his victims. 
 
 A beautifully executed Ganesa — the elephant-headed God, sitting 
 upon his throne, about which shines the nimbus— is found among the 
 paintings. 
 
 The entire thirty pictures are worthy of a lengthy description, but 
 since the book must be seen to be appreciated, it is left to the exami- 
 nation of those sufficiently interested in the acquisition of this most 
 beautiful of all the books ever offered at auction in America.

 There is a note at the commencement of the pictute MS. to the effect that 
 — " This history was taken from Half Moon's dead body by Sergeant 
 John R. Nelson, of Lieut. Rowe's Co , Second Cavalry, as certified 
 to by Lieut. Rowe and Major James S. Brisbin, Second Cavalry." The 
 descriptive MS. further states — " It is the custom of the Sioux warrior, 
 as was the custom with the warriors of the Six Nations, the Natchez, 
 the Illinois and other semi-centaur savages, to record by illustrations 
 or pictures their several exploits in battle and the chase. In the history

 of the trans-Mississippi tribes, those who have relied for subsistence 
 upon the immense herds of buffalo, elk and antelope, which ranged 
 on the plains — these pictorial records have mainly been executed on the 
 dressed skins of animals ; though in some few instances Jesuit Mission- 
 aries testify to having seen these records handsomely and profusely 
 illustrated on the inner bark of the coltonwood tree. The Mission- 
 aries taught them the uses and purposes of paper, and the Government 
 agents have always liberally supplied them with colored crayons. This 
 book was originally the property of one J. S. Moore, who, in company 
 with twenty-five others, left Nebraska City June 15, 1866, for Montana. 
 In September, 1868, Moore started to return to Nebraska, but on pass- 
 ing through the Big Horn country was killed and scalped by Half 
 Moon. On page 56 [of the Autobiography] is supposed to be an illus- 
 tration of this encounter. Pattee, Sandford, Chandler and others (see 
 page 55) returned to Nebraska City and are now residing in that 
 vicinity."

 UNIQUE, superb, printed example of Hours on vellum in Latin, 
 ILLUMINATED IN GOLD AND COLORS BY HAND, and printed by Egidius 
 Hardouyn at the expense of Germain Hardouyn. 
 
 There are eighteen page illuminations, twenty-eight miniatures, num- 
 erous initials in the text and 205 borders, all illuminated by hand in 
 gold and colors. In all there are 224 pages or 112 leaves of printed 
 matter, the last page of which, a handsome woodblock, is uncolored. 
 The title is carefully mended. 
 
 Every page is enriched with woodcut borders. The strangest feature 
 in this " Hours " is the woodcut on the first page, of which the title, 
 consisting of three lines, occupies but a small space at the bottom of 
 the page. This woodcut, any one not acquainted with the details of 
 ancient bibliography would take for the frontispiece. It is, however, 
 only Hardouyn's device, exhibiting the mythological scene of Hercules 
 rescuing Dejanira from the Centaur Nessus. Speaking of the two Har- 
 douyns, Dibdin says — "They were both unquestionably very beautiful 
 printers, and maintained a prodigious traffic in the sale of devotional 
 volumes: their productions being, upon the whole, fully equal to those 
 of Kerver, Pigouchet, or Vostre."

 Quite uncommon and rarely offered for sale. It was pub- 
 lished at £(i2i, i- e., $315. The best work on the manuscript literature

 of MSS. in every European and Oriental language ; of such languages 
 as Greek and Latin many specimens of every century and every style 
 are represented. The number of reproductions of Italian, French 
 and German Miniatures is very considerable. 
 
 This is, perhaps, the finest book in the world, and the most interest- 
 ing to the scholar and the man of taste. Three hundred fac-similes of 
 the choicest manuscripts in Europe need no other recommendation 
 than to state the fact. The French edition of this work cost nearly 
 twenty thousand pounds in getting up. Only 250 copies were printed, 
 of which the King of France took 66 for libraries in the various depart- 
 ments, and the remainder were subscribed for in Russia and Germany.

 ' ' To most persons this ' dark age ' {i. e. , from the Roman Occupa- 
 tion of England to the Norman Conquest), as it has been termed, will 
 scarcely be supposed capable of affording materials for such a history ; 
 and indeed, with the exception of a very few examples given by Strutt, 
 Astle, and Shaw, no opportunity has been afforded to the public of 
 judging of the marvellous beauty and excessive intricacy of the orna- 
 mentation and designs of Anglo-Saxon and Irish Manuscripts, 
 until the publication of my ' Palasographia Sacra Pictoria,' in which I 
 devoted many plates to these marvels of art. The study of these 
 Manuscripts has, indeed, brought out the singular fact that, at a period 
 when the fine arts may be said to have been almost extinct in Italy and 
 other parts of the Continent — namely, from the fifth to the end of the 
 eighth century — a style of art has been established, cultivated, and 
 brought to a wonderful state of perfection in these islands, absolutely 
 distinct from ^hat of all other parts of the civilized world, and which 
 was adopted and imitated in the schools founded on the Continent by 
 Charlemagne, as well as in the monastic establishments founded or 
 visited by Anglo-Saxon and Irish missionaries, many of v/hich subse- 
 quently became the most famous seats of learning." — Westwood.

36 2'HE DORM AN LIBRARY. 
 
 others from Holbein's " Dance of Death," medieval manuscripts, 
 paintings, etc., coats of arms, emblems, saints, etc., etc. 
 
 The other volume consists entirely of superb chromolithographic 
 illuminations in metals and colors, of miniatures, initial letters, borders, 
 etc. There are one hundred fac-simile reproductions of miniatures 
 from the most beautiful manuscripts known, and every page to the 
 number of 400 corruscates with a characteristic ornamentation of the 
 principal periods in the history of the palseographical art. 
 
 In a " Morgand et Fatout " catalogue (No. 328) the sum of 1,500 
 francs was asked for an ordinary copy in morocco. The following was 
 the description given of that copy : — " Uelle publication chromolitho- 
 graphique, contenant la reproduction de cent miniatures, tirees des plus 
 beaux manuscrits connus, et dont chacune des pages, au nombre de 
 400, est encadree dans un ornement caracterisant les types des princi- 
 pales epoques de I'art des miniatures. Independamment du merite de 
 I'execution, cet ouvrage est curieux et interessant pour le connaissance 
 et la comparaison des anciens manuscrits et peut etre d'une grande 
 utilite pour leur etude." 
 
 The above unique copy, with the illuminations and text similar to 
 that just quoted, is covered with a binding put on at a cost of 4,000 
 francs, i. c, $800. 
 
 The ground work of the sides and curved backs of the two volumes 
 is of the best ivory. Upon this has been overlaid the most elegantly 
 engraved metal work of the chastest ornamentation from designs in 
 the book. The design on the fore-covers of both volumes are sub- 
 ordinate to two beautiful original pictures engraved in the centres and 
 on the ivory. One represents the Madonna and Child, the Infant Christ 
 turning the leaves of a book in his mother's hand. The other shows 
 the Saviour seated on a cloud with one hand outstretched and the other 
 grasping a broken manacle. Below these are chased respectively ' ' En- 
 fance de Jesus " and " Christ Consolateur.'' Surrounding the centre- 
 piece with the Virgin are symboHcal scenes graved on the metal. 
 Around the " Christ,'' on the other, is a verse from St. Matthew. 
 Above is chased a crown of thorns. The broad metal borders on the 
 back and fore-sides are of the style of the Renaissance. Each volume 
 has two clasps. On both are deeply chiselled in the metal the sacred 
 words monogrammed—" Jesus " and " Marie." The rear sides of both 
 volumes display the same monograms, but pierced out. The ends of 
 the two volumes are of watered silk. The joints are velvet. 
 
 Both volumes are in satin-lined caskets. They are covered with 
 morocco and are metal rimmed. There are four brass bosses on each 
 side, and the two clasps of both have engraved on them texts from the 
 Evangelists.

 universal gallery of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The letter- 
 press also is extremely valuable, as it reunites in a compendious form 
 the information comprised in many expensive works ; and places at the 
 disposal of the ordinary reader information which hitherto has been 
 the sole property of the rich and the learned.

 of seventy-eight distinct illustrations of the life 
 OF Christ, and two additional being one from the 
 "ARS MORIENDI " Series, AND the other consist- 
 ing OF two subjects on one sheet, which can be 
 ' described as above — "an encounter between men in

 UNIQUE. It is impossible to locate with certainty the exact 
 period when these wood-blocks were cut or when the impressions from 
 them were issued or taken. They are of the Lower Rhenish or 
 Nuremberg schools of early block engraving. It is not improbable that 
 the designer was "Peter Christus," from the unknown monogram 
 within a shield upon the thirty-sixth illustration in the volume, and to 
 whom Mr. George BuUen,' F.S.A., Keeper of the Printed Books in the

 Christus as having been resident at Cologne about 1438, to whom, 
 without absolutely saying as much, they seem to hint that the execution 
 of the ■ Ars Moriendi ' may be due. Mr. Weak, however, an author- 
 ity of the highest order, who has studied Flemish art and antiquities 
 perhaps more extensively than any one, has shown, in an article in ' Le 
 Beffroi,' an antiquarian journal pubhshed in Surges, that this Peter 
 Christus, who was a pupil of the Van Eycks, continued to reside at 
 Bruges," etc., etc.

 Rome, Sweynheym and Rannartz, 1470 
 
 UNIQUE copy of this early example of Roman typography in the 
 Roman letter. A few pages are slightly wormed and in places slightly 
 stained. 
 
 This volume is of the highest bibliographical interest, it being the 
 production of Conrad Sweynheym and Arnold Pannartz, who intro- 
 duced the art of typography into the city of the Coesars. Much might 
 be written anent the labors of these veteran printers, but the following 
 extract from Cotton's " Typographical Gazetteer" sums up their history 
 in connection with Rome pretty thoroughly. He vmtes — "Roma, 
 Rome, the celebrated capital of Italy, once mistress of the world. 
 This city, as might be expected, was early in admitting and cherishing 
 in its bosom an art which promised such extraordinary advantages as 
 typography, the knowledge and practice of which was conveyed to it 
 by two enterprising Germans in the year 1465. These men, Conrad 
 Sweynheym and Arnold Pannartz, whose names are familiar to every 
 one acquainted with the earlier editions of the classics, were the first to 
 exhibit throughout all Italy the newly discovered art of printing, and 
 
46 THE DORM AN LIBRARY. 
 
 under the auspices of Pope Paul the Second set up their printing 
 establishment in the monastery of Subiaco in the vicinity of Rome. 
 After two years they removed into the city itself, and being received 
 into the house of two noble brothers, Peter and Francis de Maximis, 
 opened their Roman typographical career by giving to the world, in 
 1467, an edition of Cicero's ' Epistolse ad Familiares, ' which is the first 
 book printed at Rome. Until the year 1473 they continued to supply 
 editions of standard works, with an execution truly admirable, and a 
 correctness which has been duly appreciated and proclaimed by the 
 learned of all subsequent ages, having been fortunate enough to obtain 
 for almost all their publications the revision of Jo. Andreas, Bishop of 
 Aleria, who not only corrected the press, but wrote the prefaces and 
 dedications," etc.

 Black Letter, a very early example of the Lyons press, and 
 printed in black and red, with musical score, etc. ; partly in old French 
 and partly in Latin. The first leaf is short, some pages are mended 
 and a few stained. 
 
 This volume can be considered one of the earliest examples of the 
 Lyons press, which was started in 1473 by Bartholomew Buyer. 250 
 works were printed at Lyons during the 15th century, and one of the 
 most remarkable printed the century after was the 1 521 edition of the 
 Latin Vulgate Bible, it having been used by Luther, and whose copy

 Strasburg, 15 11 
 
 Very rare, black letter, and first edition of Geyler's Ship of Fools. 
 At the Edwards sale a copy sold for forty-three pounds sterling. 
 This copy contains the life of Geyler. There are also numerous 
 manuscript notes at the ends and marginalia. Some pages are slightly 
 stained. 
 
 The design of this most curious and amusing work was to ridicule 
 the prevailing follies and vices of every rank and profession, under the 
 allegory of a ship freighted with fools. There are a variety of charac- 
 ters satirised with advice to the various fools. 
 
 At the end of Barclay's' metrical version of the Ship of Fools are 
 the following verses, headed — 
 
 An Exhortation of Alexander Barclay. 
 
 " But ye that shall read this Booke I you exhorte, 
 ' And you that are hearers thereof also I you pray, 
 When as ye know that ye be of this sorte, 
 Amende your life, and expell that vice away, 
 Slomber not in sin, amende you while ye may, 
 And if ye do and ensue virtue and grace. 
 Within my Ship ye get no roune ne place." 
 
 Dibdin says: " There are few books more interesting to the collector."

 Very scarce and black letter. A splendid specimen 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 cotemporaries : 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 petil a petit (little by little) he used in his

 Very rare. Stamped in gold on the sides ' ' Das and Friteil. " 
 
 An early reprint of Luther's translation of the Prophets, Apocrypha 
 and New Testament. 
 
 This Low Saxon version was, at the request of Luther, superintended 
 by Bugenhagen, who has added a short preface, notes and summaries. 
 It first appeared in 1533, again in 1537, as above, and in 1541. 
 
 Goeze, in his " Historic der gedruckten Niedersachsischen Bibein," 
 devotes pp. 241-272 to a collation of this translation, a description of 
 its contents, and a tabular comparison of the text with the two editions 
 of 1534, etc. He concludes by stating that the four copies of this edi- 
 tion which exist in the collections of private persons are all defective at 
 beginning and end, and that it is only in public collections that perfect 
 ones are to be found. 
 
 By the Brunswick Collection Catalogue, there appears to have been 
 three issues of the edition of 1540-41. Dr. Hawtrey had one of the 
 same date, but there was not a copy in the Sussex Collection.

 Thorpe marked the above ;f 5 5s. 
 
 George Joye, otherwise Clarke, wrote a number of other curious 
 early Reformation works. He wrote from the shoulder and with a pen 
 of vitriol. The phraseology of the titles of his books are indicative 
 of their contents, as, for instance, he speaks in one, of the — " slander- 
 ouse Lies feigned upon him in Tyndale's uncharitable and unsober 
 Pistle," and in another of "Mores faulse Foundation; whereupon he 
 sweteth to set faste and shoue vmner his shamless Shoris, to vnder- 
 proppe the Pope's Church."

56 THE DORMAN LIBRARY. 
 
 the vices of almost every profession are attacked. It is generally- 
 attributed to Robert Langland or Longland, who flourished about the 
 beginning of the XlVth century. 
 
 ' ■ This poem (of Piers Ploughman) is not only extremely scarce and 
 has almost the rarity of a Manuscript, but it is a curious and lively 
 picture of an order of men (the Monks) who once made a conspicuous 
 figure in the world." — Warton. 
 
 ' ' The Vision of ' Piers Ploughman ' is one of the most precious and 
 interesting monuments of the English language and literature, and 
 also of the social and political condition of the country during the 
 fourteenth century .... Its author is not certainly known, but its 
 time of composition can, by internal evidence, be fixed at about the 
 year 1362." — Literary Gazette.

 The Palace of Pleasure is not only one of the earliest, but one of the 
 most valuable of selections of novels [loi] that appeared during 
 Elizabeth's reign. That many of them were appropriated as soon as 
 published, by English dramatic writers, is asserted, from personal 
 observation, by Gosson, in his " Plays confuted in five Actions." 
 " The favorite book of the immortal Shakespeare."

 Rare edition; priced in a recent catalogue £x i8s. 
 Teofilo Folengo [Merlinius Coccaius] entered the Order of St. Bene- 
 dict at the age of eighteen, but after introducing great disorders into 
 the monastery where he lived, he finally quitted it, in company with a 
 very beautiful girl in his own station of life, and they, for several years, 
 travelled about together. He has long had the credit of being the 
 inventor of the " Macaronic " Poetry — a mixture of Latin, Italian and 
 the Mantuan dialect. He frequently recounts his own adventures, 
 and, says the " Biographic Universelle,"—" Sous cette enveloppe 
 bouffonne, on trouve des pensees et des maximes d'un grand sens, des 
 traits satiriques sur les grands, sur la vanite des titres, &c , et ces traits 
 originaux et piquants sont presque toujours sans amertume."

 The popularity of this work, and its influence on English National 
 Poetry throughout the reigns of Elizabeth and James I. , were very con- 
 siderable. The excellent notes of the editor render this edition most 
 valuable and interesting. 
 
 This_ production, planned (atcording to some only) by Sackville, who 
 contributed the " Induction " and one of the Tales, was composed by 
 John Higgons, T. Blenerhasset, G. Ferrars, T. Chaloner, W. Bald- 
 win, T. Phaer, J. Skelton, T. Churchyard, M. Drayton, R. Niccols, 
 and other popular poets of Queen Elizabeth's reign. 
 
 "'This work,' says Warton, 'suggested scenes of Shakespeare, 
 and was the origin of our historical plays.' It is the joint production 
 of WiUiam Baldwin, Thomas Sackville and George Ferrars. Baldwin, 
 a schoolmaster and divine, is the chief author. (For George Ferrars, 
 see page 41.) Thomas Sackville, Earl of Dorset, born 1536, died 
 1608, ' was not more distinguished for his high official position — Lord 
 High Treasurer of England— than for the excellence of his poetical 
 composition. ... Of this grand work, which ' illuminates with 
 no common lustre that interval of darkness which occupies the annals 
 of English poetry from Surrey to Spencer,' we had intended to give an 
 account, but to do justice to the subject requires far more space than 
 we can afford." — S. Austin Allibone.

 " Cataloguing is a handicraft just as much as any other mechanical trade; an 
 art to be learned by attention and diligent practice. When amateurs get to- 
 gether and talk about catalogues, the question is sure to come up ' What arrange- 
 ment do you prefer !' To discuss arrangement before you can prepare a title 
 for a catalogue is as if you would be a colorist before you can draw an outline. "

 reprinted. This was done from his own copy, with very slight ad-

 acknowledged. It will be found to rank among those branches of 
 antiquarian research, which are as conducive to correct taste and use-

 with "the author's sincere regards." The letters are of the highest 
 degree of interest to bibliopegists. They are all addressed to his pub- 
 lisher, and display a condition of the harrowing and excessively chronic 
 impecuniosity which seems to be the fate of every unfortunate 
 mortal who has dabbled in bibliography. Dibdin always seemed to be 
 ever a borrower, never a lender. Whatever debts he paid seem to 
 have been disposed of by the results of his arduous literary labors. Ex- 
 tracts from these letters run as follows: — "Put your mind slyly or 
 openly in your pocket, and if possible, lend me £i>ii, only till Saturday, 
 at a quarter before four. ... I wanted yesterday to tell you how 
 I am going to arrange all my pecuniary matters with promptitude and 
 tolerable success, and cease to be a worry and a plague to my friends." 
 
 — " In bed Now, my dear friend, can you devise any plan 
 
 whereby till fourteen days I may be accommodated with the enclosed 
 $88 "—"The bill will be paid. Rejoice, and let us both thank God. 
 T. F. Dibdin. P. S. Give me;^i5 till Monday." — " I am going down 
 
 to Oxford to become a D. D If you can get me Major's 
 
 acceptance for f^ito, at four months, tickled up at Ransom's, you are 
 welcome to the odd ;^6o till the bill becomes due. My D.D. degree 
 will cost me ;^I03 los. gd. God bless you ever " 
 
 An English critic has remarked — ' ' We are decidedly of opinion that 
 no bibliographical collection can be complete without Mr. Dibdin's 
 volumes, which are, independent of the solid information they con- 
 tain, frequently enlivened by literary anecdotes, and rendered generally 
 interesting by great variety of observation and acuteness of remark." 
 
 S. Austin AUibone observes — " Now, of all Englishmen who have 
 ever lived, there never was a man better suited to make a dry study 
 attractive, and a learned subject plain, than Dr. Dibdin of Roxburghe 
 memory. This magician could, with his pen, dress up a begrimed, 
 uncouth-looking volume, in more attractive style than could Grolier's 
 binder with his most cunning tools. He could convert ' Belindas ' and 
 ' Almasas ' into Bibliomaniacs, and make a dry catalogue of old English 
 poetry more attractive than the- last novel. It was but necessary for 
 him to apply the epithets 'excessively rare,' or ' exceedingly curious,' 
 and the neglected Caxton in your garret would buy you a year's cloth- 
 ing for your household, and the old family Bible would defray your 
 Christmas festivities." 
 
 Dibdin's symptoms of the Book Disease are, (i) a passion for large 
 paper, (2) uncut, (3) illustrated, (4) unique, (5) vellum copies, (6) first 
 editions, (7) true editions, and (8) Black Letter, (9) private distribution, 
 or at a private press, (10) all the editions, or (11) connected with a par- 
 ticular author or subject. His probable means of cure are, (i) direct- 
 ing our studies to useful works ; (2) reprinting scarce, and intrinsically 
 valuable, productions ; (3) editing our best ancient authors, in prose or 
 poetry ; (4) erecting public institutions, and (5) studying bibliography.

 ' ' This is in fact a continuation of the Bibliomania, the same charac-

 typography and the arts. Both the copper-plates and the woodcuts 
 which embellish the work have been destroyed. " — Lowndes. 
 
 ' ' Overtures were made for its republication in French, but it was

 antiquarian lore, and Lowndes remarks of it — "This work contains 
 much curious information respecting the MSS. and Rare Works in 
 public and private libraries abroad. It is printed and embellished in 
 the same style of excellence as Dibdin's other wgrks." 
 
 "For these volumes $25,000 were paid for engraving alone. One 
 of the most handsome that ever came from the British Press." — Scott. 
 
 " One of the most beautiful and covetable books of modern times. " 
 — SOUTHEY. 
 
 " The most splendid publication which in my days I have seen." — 
 Keibbert.

 HUMPHREYS' ART OF PRINTING. 
 
 173 HUMPHREYS (H. Noel) History of the Art of

 the Sixteenth Century. With 105 plates, comprising fac- 
 similes from the most remarkable Block-Books, and from all 
 the important Typographical Monuments of Germany, Hol- 
 land, Italy, France, England, etc., many in gold and 
 COLORS, including 44 facsimiles of the press of Caxton, 
 Wynkyn de Worde, Pynson, and of the Earliest English 
 and Foreign Bibles and Prayer-Books. Folio, fresh half 
 crushed levant morocco gilt, top edge gilt. 
 
 London, Bernard Quaritch, 1868 
 
 The illustrations to this work, unlike fac-similes produced by hand, 
 must necessarily be absolute reproductions of their originals. They 
 exceed one hundred in number, and frequently consist of representa- 
 tions of entire pages from many of the most interesting books produced 
 by the early printers. Among them may be mentioned an entire folio 
 page from the first printed Bible, the magnificent work of Gutenberg, 
 richly adorned with ornamental borderings by a contemporary German 
 illuminator. An entire page from the celebrated Psalter of Schceffer, 
 in which the large capitals are printed in COLORS, in rivalry with the 
 illuminators of the time. Pages from the first books printed in Italy, 
 France, Spain, Flanders and Holland, accompany the account of 
 the introduction of the printing-press to those countries ; and several 
 such entire pages in fac-simile illustrate the description of the works of 
 William Caxton, the founder of the printing-press in England. In 
 addition to these and many illustrations of other kinds, will be found a 
 very interesting and an abundant series of examples from the most 
 richly decorated of the French " HoR/«," and from the profusely illus- 
 trated German books produced in the first half of the sixteenth century. 
 
 ' ' No such book for typographical collectors and all interested in the

 An unique copy. A choice and elegant set. 
 
 It is impossible to give here anything like an adequate idea of the 
 vast amount of curious information in these volumes— the hundreds 
 of literary celebrities brought forward, not merely by passing anec-

 bibliographical and literary matter.

 London, 1806 
 Best edition. This edition is enriched by the tasteful editor, 
 Thomas Park, with specimens of the performances of each author — a 
 task not contemplated by the original author. The editor also profited 
 by the assistance of other highly competent scholars, e. g., Isaac Reed, 
 George Ellis, Sir Egerton Brydges, R. Gough, etc. The beautiful 
 portraits were expressly engraved for this book. 
 
 " It is the fashion to underrate Horace Walpole ; firstly, because he 
 was a noblemen ; and secondly, because he was a gentleman ; but to 
 say nothing of the composition of his incomparable letters, and of the 
 Castle of Otranto, he is the " Ultimus Romanorum,'' the author of 
 the Mysterious Mother, a tragedy of the highest order, and not a pu- 
 ling love play. He is the father of the first romance, and of the first 
 tragedy in our language, and surely worthy of a higher place than any 
 living writer, be he who he may." — Byron.

 the human heart through many ages, to seize on a fact in a word, and on the

 " We need not regret the departure of those times when modesty had 
 no cloak; when, like the brute, man and woman stood before each 
 other unabashed at their nakedness. The facility of enjo3mient gave 
 birth to satiety and disgust. A frightful corruption of morals was the 
 inevitable consequence of this state of things, for excess of debauchery 
 could alone reanimate desire, the prime mover of enjoyment. Eternal

 uncut. London, 1878 
 
 A bright, fresh copy. Publisher's price £,■3, los. This is the most 
 complete work on the history of pottery and porcelain in Great Britain 
 that has ever been pubhshed. The preparation of the work extended 
 over a period of many years, and has been done with the greatest care, 
 no trouble having been spared to get at facts and verify dates. The 
 necessity of such a book has long been evident, and it will be'classed 
 with Birch, Marryat and Jacquemart as the standard work on that par- 
 ticular branch of the history of pottery and porcelain. It will be in- 
 valuable to art museums, libraries and collectors of potteryas a work 
 of reference; while the profusion of illustrations, including examples 
 of the productions of all the manufactories, together with views, por- 
 traits, etc., render it a pictorial work of great beauty.

 isted in Europe, but particularly in England, from the Nor-

 Order of the Garter. Plates as fine as the monuments of Westminster 
 Abbey. Really and truly the work is admirably executed, and deserves 
 
THE DORM AN LIBRAE Y. 83 
 
 every eulogy. It is not often the fortune of a painful student of an- 
 tiquity to conduct his readers through so splendid a succession of scenes 
 and events as those to which Dr. Meyrick here successively introduces 
 us. But he does it with all the ease and gracefulness of an accom- 
 plished cicerone. We see the haughty nobles and the impetuous 
 knights — we are present at their arming — assist them to their shields — 
 enter the well-appointed lists with them — and partake the hopes and 
 fears, the perils, honours, and successes of the manly tournaments. 
 Then we are presented to the glorious damsels, all superb and lovely, 
 ' in velours and clothe of golde, and dayntie devyces, bothe in pearls 
 and emerawds, sawphlres and dymondes,' — and the banquet, with the 
 serving men and bucklers, servitors and trenchers — kings and queens — 
 pageants, etc. , etc. We feel as if the age of chivalry had returned in 
 all its glory. Subjoined to the third volume is a Glossary, the most 
 copious, clear, and useful we ever remember to have seen. This has 
 long been a desideratum ; but the most sanguine of cur antiquarian 
 readers could hardly have expected to see it accomplished in so com- 
 plete and able a manner. The general execution of the work does the 
 publisher very great credit." — Edinburgh Review.

 ' ' We should imagine that the possessors of Dr. Meyrick's former 
 great work would eagerly add Mr. Skelton's as n. suitable illustration.

 Priced £\\ 15s. in a recent English catalogue. This celebrated work 
 is one of the corner-stones of a good library, and is particularly valu- 
 able to Archaeologists, Artists, Numismatists, and others, as it brings 
 together and represents in one plate (or more), all the famous remains 
 of 'Antiquity of the same kind, whether Statues, Busts, Bas- reliefs, 
 Coins, Medals, etc.; so that, for instance, all the noted Statues of 
 Venus are exhibited together. Each object has a reference to the col- 
 lection in which it is preserved. The copious descriptions are in French 
 and Latin. 
 
 ' ' Of the importance of this great book to the antiquarian and the 
 historical world it is hardly possible to speak too highly. Its object 
 was to lay before the public a vast series of objects of ancient art, of 
 architecture, of sculpture, etc. , and to illustrate the whole by plates 
 executed in the highest style of which the age admitted. It is to this 
 very book that the foundation of all our most important branches of 
 archaeological knowledge of the present day may be ascribed." — Gen-

 STOTHARD'S MONUMENTAL EFFIGIES. 
 232* STOTHARD (C. A.). MONUMENTAL EFFIGIES of 
 GREAT BRITAIN, selected from our Cathedrals and 
 Churches, for the purpose of bringing together and pre- 
 serving correct representations of the best Historical 
 Illustrations extant, from the Norman Conquest to the 
 Reign of Henry VIII., with Historical Descriptions and 
 Notes by Alfred John Kempe, Esq., F.S.A. A new 
 edition, with large additions by John Hewitt. Contain- 
 ing nearly 1^0 plates, including the extra plates of the effigies 
 at Fontevrand, and Geoffrey Plantagenet. Thick large 
 4to, fresh half crushed levant morocco, gilt, top edge gilt, 
 others uncut. London, 1876 
 
 Sir Thomas Lawrence and Flaxman used to speak of Stothard's rep- 
 resentation of sculpture as among the most perfect achievements of 
 art ; and this opinion is corroborated by every man of taste and judg- 
 ment. 
 
 ' ' The objects contemplated by the late C. A. Stothard in this beau- 
 tiful publication, were, to afford to the historical painter a complete 
 knowledge of the costume adopted in England from an early period of 
 history to the reign of Henry VIII. ; to illustrate at the same time his- 
 tory and biography ; and lastly, to assist the stage in selecting its cos- 
 tume with propriety, for the plays of our great dramatic bard. The 
 delicacy and accuracy of Mr. Stothard's representations cannot be sur- 
 passed. They are specimens of sculpture, which for grandeur, sim- 
 plicity, and chastity of style, are not to be surpassed, if equalled, by 
 any nation of Europe." — Gentleman's Magazines 
 
 ' ' Every man of correct taste and elegant feeling for the fine arts 
 will at once appreciate the value of this unique and important publica- 
 tion. No English library should be without it. Charles Stothard is 
 the model which every antiquarian artist must fbllow, if he wishes to 
 excel. His pencil was always guided by his mind, and we may safely 
 assert that no one has ever united equal accuracy and feeling." —

 Very rare. ' ' The proofs of Van Dyck's etchings have greatly in- 
 creased in value of late years. At M. Seguier's sale, in 1844, they 
 averaged from three to eight pounds each, and were thought to be very 
 dear. At recent sales they have produced sums varying from eight to 
 thirty pounds. It may be considered certain that, as etching becomes 
 better appreciated, the plates of Van Dyck will attain still higher prices.

 This interesting album, which comes from the collection of Louis

 are dedicated and signed. This album contains also two portraits of 
 Louis Philippe, and attached to them five autograph lines by Queen 
 Marie Amelie — criticising the drawings, which are evidently by a 
 celebrated artist who was employed to make them — to wit : " II faud-

 vols, large 4tOj antique vellum binding, top edges gilt,

 Mr. Tuer has succeeded in cataloguing upward of 2,000 examples of 
 these fashionable prints; the largest list hitherto compiled — Le Blanc's 
 — contained only 700. Among the illustrations are a pair of beautiful 
 and exquisitely finished fancy subjects in stipple, from copper-plates 
 engraved by Bartolozzi in 1783, in brilliant condition, entitled, "A 
 St. James's Beauty," and "A St. Giles's Beauty," painted in red on 
 old paper; and a pair of highly finished portraits, from the original 
 copper-plates, of Sarah, Countess of Kinnoul, and Robert Auriol, 
 Earl of Kinnoul, engraved by Caroline Watson in 1799, also in bril- 
 liant condition, printed on old paper in brown ink; a charming vignette 
 of Cupid printed in red; a ticket for the Mansion House ball, 1773,

 Bartsch — Tome Premier, illustrated with a large number 
 of etchings on India paper engraved by J. A. Boland, 
 large 4to, loose in half cloth portfolio, Utrecht, n. d. To- 
 gether 22 vols. 
 
 Original edition. This work, which is, beyond dispute, the most 
 exact and perfect production of its kind, fetched, in shabby German 
 boards, at the Rev. Dr. Wellesley's sale, Nov., 1866, £\'i 5s.; 1867, 
 Carpenter's copy, equally poor, jf 14. 
 
 It is a most complete account of Painters' Etchings and Engravings 
 from the earliest period. The descriptions are so minute that any 
 plate may be immediately recognized. Vols. I to 5 comprise the 
 Flemish and Dutch Schools; Vols. 6 to 11, the German School; Vols. 
 12 to 13, the Italian School; Vols. 14 to 15, Marc Antonio Finiguerra 
 and his School; and Vols. 16 to 21, the suite of the School of Italy. 
 
 A very skilful and, indeed, invaluable production, illustrated with 
 some curious fac-similes. Bartsch was himself an artist of no ordinary 
 ability, and his engravings, especially after some of Rubens, are quite 
 admirable. A few of the plates are slightly foxed in the above copy — 
 one is torn.

 merit and utility." — Dibdin's " Tour in Germany," Vol. 3, p. 303.

 on vellum — this being the only one known to be in exist- 
 ence in this state. 
 
 EXCESSIVELY RARE, if- not UNIQUE. The vellum is spotted 
 slightly. This celebrated wood engraving was executed by Bewick in 
 illustration of Richardson's "Table Book of the Border Counties of 
 England " by command of the noble owner of the Chillingham breed 
 of white wild bulls.

 London, William Pickering, 1847 
 
 Printed by Charles Whittingham, Chiswick. This is a magnificent 
 specimen of nineteenth century binding. It is the choicest reliure in the 
 way of tooling ever produced by the celebrated Bedford, of London. 
 The pointille work on the sides, back and inside borders is perfect. 
 Not a tool erred in its course. The leather is purple crushed levant 
 morocco, the ends marbled, the edges gilt. The sides are a mass of 
 choice and beautifully harmonized designs in gold. The volume was 
 one of the features of the Beckford sale which took place under the 
 auspices of the house of Sotheby, Wikinson and Hodge of London. 
 In the catalogue of that library, made by that most conscientious and 
 erudite of bibliographers John Bohn, it was stated that the above had 
 obtained some five prizes at exhibitions in competition with the best 
 work of the French and other binders. It is a volume that would have 
 done credit to the collection of Grolier and is fully equal in its intri- 
 cately tooled details to the best pointille of Clevis Eve and Le Gascon.

 A relic of Louis the Fifteenth, King of France, with every page ruled 
 in red ink. The above is a very magnificent piece of eighteenth century, 
 French binding. The sides are heavily tooled with pointille ornaments 
 in gold and of Grolieresque design. The back is tooled with fleurs-de-lys, 
 the lilies of France. The sides are covered with designs of a regal 
 character. The royal crown, interlaced "Ls,"and in the centre the 
 King's arms surrounded with the order of Saint Esprit, etc. 
 
 Later on it appears to have been the property of a French cardinal 
 whose heraldic book-plate is inserted. Above the arms are a cardinal's 
 hat, an archbishop's mitre and crosier, and a ducal coronet.

 RARE EXAMPLES OF WILLIAM BLAKE. 
 
 494 BLAKE (William, the "Pictor Ignotus"). ILLUSTRA- 
 
 TIONS TO DANTE'S "INFERNO" — seven fine 
 
 PROOFS BEFORE ALL LETTERS ON ChINA PAPER. Oblong 
 
 folio, cloth. 
 
 EXCESSIVELY RARE, being one of the twenty copies in all 
 struck off from the afterwards unused plates. 
 
 With the following MS. autograph on fly-leaf — " To John Giles, 
 Esq., with John Linnell's regards, April, 1866." John Linnell, the 
 donor of this valuable volume, was a pupil of Benjamin West, and 
 Ruskin speaks of his forest studies as — ' ' peculiarly elaborate and in 
 many points most skilful." 
 
 To understand thoroughly the Dante designs of Blake one must read 
 Swinburne's life of the " Pictor Ignotus," and which the author of 
 " Laus Veneris" says that — "for poetical power and nobility of 
 imaginative detail are up to the artist's highest mark." 
 
 ' ' The author [Blake] has endeavored to wake sensibility by touching 
 our sympathies with nearer, less ambiguous, and less ludicrous imag- 
 ery, than what mythology, Gothic superstition, or symbols as far- 
 fetched as inadequate, could supply. His invention has been chiefly 
 employed to spread a familiar and domestic atmosphere around the most 
 important subjects, to connect the visible and invisible world, without 
 provoking probability, and to lead the eye from the milder hght of 
 time to the radiations of eternity. Such is the plan and moral part of 
 the author's invention ; the technical part, and the execution of the 
 artist, though to be examined by other principles, and addressed to a 
 narrower circle, equally claim approbation, sometimes excite our won-

 der, and not seldom our fears, when we see him play on the very verge 
 of legitimate invention ; but wildness so picturesque in itself, so often 
 redeemed by taste, simplicity and elegance, what child of fancy, what 
 artist would wish to discharge ? The groups and single figures on their 
 own basis, abstracted from the general composition, and considered 
 without attention to the plan, frequently exhibit those genuine and 
 unaflected attitudes, those simple graces which nature and the heart 
 alone can dictate, and only an eye inspired by both discover. Every 
 class of artists, in every stage of their progress or attainments, from the 
 student to the finished master, and from the contriver of ornament to 
 the painter of history, will find here materials of art and hints of 
 improvement." — FusELI.

 " An extraordinary work ; violent, extravagant, perverse, calculated 
 to startle, to shock, and to alarm many readers, but abounding in 
 beauty, and characterized by intellectual grasp. His power of word- 
 painting is often truly wonderful, sometimes, it must be admitted, in 
 excess, but always full of matter, form, color, and instinct with a 
 sense of vitality." — London Daily News. 
 
 " It is in every way worthy of Mr. Swinburne's high fame. In no 
 prose work can be found passages of keener poetry or more finished 
 grace, or more impressive harmony. Strong, vigorous and musical, the 
 style sweeps on like a river." — London Times.

 THE CHOICEST COPY OF CLAUDE EVER OFFERED

 engraved by Richard Earlom, in the manner and 
 taste of the Drawings. Descriptive Catalogue of each 
 Print, with the names of those for whom, and the places 
 for which, they were first painted (from the handwriting

 of Claude), and of the present possessors of many of the 
 Original Pictures. 3 vols, folio, bound by Zaehnsdorff 
 in full russia, gilt, citron edges. London, 1 777-1 819 
 
 The choicest copy of Claude Lorraine ever offered at auction, being 
 first proofs selected by the London bibliopole Quaritch from three 
 copies. 
 
 The difference between these fine proof impressions and the im- 
 pressions from the worn-out plates which are ordinarily sold is greater 
 than can believed, except by comparison. While the proofs are truly 
 valuable and beautiful works of art, the worn-out plates are simply 
 worthless and an eyesore. 
 
 The above, which has the portraits inserted of Earlom and Boy- 
 dell, is a very early copy of the 1777 issue of Vols. I. and IL ; of Vol. 
 IIL, the impressions are original and very fine, but the title is dated 
 1819. Vol. L also has the portrait of Claude. 
 
 The text of this issue was printed on a coarse hand-made paper, by 
 Boydell. On plate No. I the engraver's name, spelt in the first issue 
 " Earlolom," is just as it then appeared and which in the second issue 
 was corrected into " Earlom.'' 
 
 After this issue, in 1830, was made that of Henry G. Bohn, whose 
 copies usually appear in " half red morocco " in the market. 
 
 These modern impressions were not taken off till after the plates had 
 been partially destroyed, and in attempting to restore them the sun- 
 light brilliancy of Claude in many instances was entirely lost.

 The work was privately printed, and only a few copies disposed of 
 at ;^5 5s. each. The small remaining stock, by the kindness of Mrs. 
 Jameson, had added an account of the pictures, and an interesting 
 introduction. 
 
 This collection of pictures, painted by the great masters of the 
 schools of Italy, was the result of more than thirty years' research, 
 principally made in countries subjected to the revolutionary disasters 
 which overwhelmed the South of Europe. Three of them were 
 sold to Russia for ;^ 8, 000.

 As a guarantee that no more copies on India paper would be pro- 
 duced, each was numbered and signed by the artist. 
 
 No description would realize the variety of the subjects, and the wide 
 range of Mr. Crane's pencil ; nor the felicity with which each of the 
 characters, human and semi-human, is drawn and individualized. 
 Men, women, boys, girls, fairies, demons, elves, imps, beasts, birds, 
 and even insects, all figure before us — singing, dancing, flying, joyous 
 or sad, in each scene of the masque. All is May and Fairyland.

 Baron Munchausen not only told the most extraordinary stories in 
 the body of his work, but concealed his name. It has been settled by 
 recent investigations that the author was Professor F. E. Raspe, who 
 ran away from Cassel because he had been caught in stealing articles 
 from the cabinet of antiquities there. His famous tales were likewise 
 generally abstracted from the old Greek story writers.

 blue levant morocco, gilt, beveled sides, with red leather 
 mosaic insertions, edges gilt. London, n. d. 
 
 Gillray stands at the head of all caricaturists. — The Quarterly Review 
 thus speaks of him : ' ' Gillray was marked out, as it were, predestined 
 for his career by an extraordinary assemblage of qualities: wit, humour, 
 fancy, imagination, boldness of conception and execution, inexhaust- 
 ible fertility and variety, intuitive knowledge of mankind, and unerr- 
 ing quickness of perception, which enabled him to catch the passing 
 follies and fleeting fashions of the gay world, as well as the intrigues, 
 corruption, and maladministration of the great. He was a painter of 
 manners as well as a political caricaturist, and during the long period 
 covered by his sketches there is hardly a marked step in social progress, 
 hardly a change of costume or national caprice of any kind, that is not 
 fixed and recorded for the amusement- of contemporaries and the edifi- 
 cation of posterity."

 The published price, unbound, of the above was ^ti 15s. 
 
 This lot is undoubtedly the most universally attractive of all Mr. 
 Gould's publications. He thus speaks of it ■ " Having from an early 
 period devoted himself to the study of these beautiful birds, and 
 acquired a most valuable and extensive collection of a group peculiar 
 to America and its adjacent islands, the author determined upon pub- 
 lishing a monograph of a family unequalled for the gorgeous and 
 ever-changing brilliancy of their hues, the variety of their form, the 
 singularity of their habits, and the extent of their territorial dis- 
 tribution." 
 
 "Mr. Gould has produced a series of magnificent works without a 
 rival in the Cabinets of Science, and the Gem of every rich man's 
 library, to which, unfortunately, works of such artistic beauty, from 
 
 their great costliness, must necessarily be confined In 
 
 taking a review of Mr. Gould's labors, we cannot fail to be impressed 
 with the benefits conferred by them on Ornithological Science. These 
 benefits are not merely confined to the introduction of New Species to 
 our knowledge, nor yet to the elucidation of points involved in doubt, 
 or the extrication of species or groups from a maze of confusion, — they 
 also result from the plan of the works themselves, which constitute, as 
 far as they go, a Complete Pictorial Museum of Ornithology, to which 
 the student may refer at once, and without the trouble of searching for 
 the description of one species in one publication, and of another in a 
 second, and so on, before he is able to satisfy himself as to the novelty 
 or the contrary of the European Bird, Toucan, Trogon, or the rest 
 under examination." — Prof. MaCgillivray. 
 
 " The works of Mr. Gould constitute a new epoch in the history of 
 Ornithology. The boldness of the plan on which they werp executed; 
 the number of New Species added to science, and of doubtful species 
 cleared away from previous obscurity; the unadorned fidelity of the 
 Descriptions ; the exquisite accuracy of the Plates, in which the 
 utmost adherence to nature is united with that felicitous effect which 
 stamps the artist, and proves that grace and truthfulness may 
 MEET TOGETHER. Again, Mr. Gould's works form in themselves an 
 Ornithological Museum : pictorial we grant, but of such a character as 
 to obviate the necessity of a collection of mounted specimens obt.nined 
 at no trifling cost, and preserved, even where room can be afforded 
 them, not without the greatest trouble." — The London Times.

 " No work of greater beauty will be produced than that on which 
 John Gould, returning in his later life to his first love, bestowed the 
 fullness of his energy and the acme of his artistic talent. We allude 
 to his 'Birds of Great Britain.' The care bestowed on the plates of 
 this work was remarkable, the aim of the author being to produce a 
 picture of the birds as they appeared in their Natural Haunts, and 
 especial pains were bestowed on the young, particularly those of the 
 Wading-Birds and Natators. In this fine work most of the drawings 
 were developed and placed on stone by Mr. W. Hart, who also exe- 
 cuted all the plates of the later works." — Nature, 1881.

 " An edition of this work (says the author) was published in 1834; 
 but the extensive researches since carried on among the great Andean 
 ranges of South America having led to the discovery of many addi- 
 tional and beautiful species belonging to this extraordinary group of 
 Birds, a revision of the work not only became necessary, but an entirely 
 new edition was deemed imperative ; and accordingly one, with the 
 whole of the former Plates redrawn, was published." The above is

 HOGARTH'S WORKS— A FOLIO COPY. 
 
 578 HOGARTH (William). Works of, from the Original 
 
 Plates, Restored by JAMES HEATH, Esq., R.A., 
 WITH THE Addition of Many Subjects not before 
 Collected ; to which is Prefixed a Biographical 
 Essay on the Genius and Productions of HOGARTH, 
 and Explanations of the Subjects of the Plates 
 BY JOHN NICHOLS, F.S.A. Illustrated with 116 clear 
 impressions from the plates of the great Hogarth's inimit- 
 able designs (^ foxed and 6 plates damaged). Large folio, 
 half morocco gilt, cloth sides, gilt edges (binding rubbed).

 Rare. Some of the above Ii6 impressions have two and others 
 three plates on one. 
 
 William Hogarth was one of those few original and extraordinary 
 characters with whom it has pleased Providence occasionally to bless 
 the world, to enlighten mankind, and to carry the arts and sciences 
 necessary for their comfort, pleasure and improvement, nearer to per- 
 fection. Moved by the impulse of genius rather than the tuition of 
 man, he traveled in a path unexplored by any before him, and which 
 remains closed to succeeding artists. Possessing by early practice the 
 knowledge of the art of engraving, he was enabled to disseminate by 
 its means the ingenious inventions of his mind in a manner more per- 
 fect than those of other painters have been presented to the world, or 
 than probably ever again will be done, till another painter shall be his 
 own engraver. Hogarth was one of those great men whose works are 
 destined to survive all the changes of taste and all the caprices of 
 fashion; for valuable and interesting as they would be did they do no 
 more than preserve a faithful picture of contemporary manners, they

 are to be still more highly estimated for containing those strokes of 
 nature and of genuine wit that are intelligible in every country and in 
 every age. In dignity of subject, in grandeur of composition, in the 
 technical beauties of execution, in designs, in chiaro-scuro, in exactness 
 of imitation, in elegance and in gracefulness, Hogarth has been ex- 
 celled by several; but no artist has ever yet produced works that rival 
 in expression and in character those of the great ethic painter — works 
 that will always continue to be admired in proportion to the care with 
 which they are studied. 
 
 " The anchor which held Hogarth fastest to the public favor was the 
 sincere and deliberate belief — prevalent among the more serious of the 
 substantial orders — that his works were in the highest degree moral, 
 and that they contributed to the inculcation of virtue and piety. 
 The philosopher who ever preached the sturdy English virtues that 
 have made us what we are." — Comhill Magazine. 
 
 THE 1828 EDITION OF HANS HOLBEIN. 
 
 579 HOLBEIN (Hans). Portraits of the Court of Henry the 
 Eighth, with Historical and Biographical Letterpress by 
 Edmund Lodge, Norroy King of Arms. — Published by 
 John Chamberlaine, late Keeper of the Royal Collection 
 of Drawings and Medals. A series of 80 exquisitely beauti- 
 ful plates, engraved by Bartolozzi, Cooper, and others, 
 and printed on tinted paper in imitation of the original highly 
 finished colored drawings preserved in the Royal Collection at 
 Windsor. Large 4to, half morocco extra, gilt edges. 
 
 London, 1828 
 
 Published at ;^ 1 5 15s. 
 
 One of the old Bulmer copies, far superior to the later issues. The 
 impressions are much finer and the coloring more delicate. 
 
 The small edition of Holbein's Portraits was undertaken at the sug- 
 gestion and under the patronage of his late Majesty George TV. , with 
 whom the original book had always been an especial favorite, but too 
 large for his book-tables. 
 
 It is unquestionably the most pleasing and interesting volume of 
 Portraits published during this century, and is a no less delightful orna- 
 ment to the boudoir and drawing room table, than valuable in the 
 library as an historical and pictorial record of a most remarkable period. 
 
 The graceful and delicate coloring preserves all the effect of the ori- 
 ginal highly-finished drawings, and at the same time communicates an 
 animation to the features which is quite enchanting. Not more than 
 ten of the subjects are included in Lodge's Portraits, and still fewer are 
 to be found in any other collection, which gives this volume an additional 
 value.

 Very rare. These etchings by Hollar represent the most celebrated 
 loose women of Cockney-town in the reign of the " Merrie Monarch." 
 They all have the name of the original in the right-hand comer. They 
 are—" Cyl. Sa— s, a St'r Walker all she can get" ; " Sopa. B— , 5

 This means a terrible decadence in the genius of the artist whose two 
 first engravings were an " Ecce Homo" and a "Virgin and Infant." 
 There is little wonder that in 1677 the great Hollar — "died in the 
 deepest poverty and distress, under the most afflicting circumstances. "

 These are the final forms Mrs. Jameson's works took in all cases. 
 
 Eastlake, in his preface to " Kugler's Handbook of Italian Painting," 
 truly remarks: — 
 
 ' ' Some acquaintance with the legends and superstitions of the Middle 
 Ages is necessary to the intelligence of many of the Italian and 
 German works of art as the knowledge of heathen mythology is to 
 explain the subjects of Greek vases and marbles. By a fortunate com- 
 bination of artistic talent and appreciation with precision of thought, 
 and a power of setting forth the older legends in poetical language, 
 Mrs. Jameson was singularly qualified for the task she had undertaken. 
 She at once succeeded in arousing, an interest, and in supplying informa- 
 tion in a condensed and agreeable form." 
 
 ' ' Mrs. Jameson's work would deserve a high place regarded only as 
 a book of antiquarian inquiry. With admirable taste and judgment, 
 both of pen and pencil, she has opened a curious branch of learning, 
 well- nigh forgotten among us — thie vestiges of which, nevertheless, 
 surround us on every side. " — Edinburgh Review.

 595 KNIGHT (Richard Payne, author of the " Worship of

 8vo, smooth red morocco gilt, edges gilt. London, 1808 
 Fourth edition. Richard Payne Knight was one of the most 
 thorough scholars of the earlier period of the present century. His 
 wofljs display profound judgment, discrimination, taste, acuteness, 
 and erudition, united with extraordinary candor and impartiality ; 
 and they constitute an invaluable collection of ancient and curious 
 learning, from which the students of such literature can draw abundant 
 supplies. In these respects they stand side by side with the writings 
 of the late Godfrey Higgins ; while they excel in respect to scope, 
 accuracy, conciseness, and the arrangement of subjects. They are of 
 untold value for the unfolding of correcter views of Ancient Mythology 
 than have been commonly entertained.

 " The volume is a noble one, and, as far as we know, is unequalled

 the matchless collection which formerly graced the Louvre, combining, 
 as it did, nearly all the excellence of which the various countries on the 
 Continent could boast in painting and sculpture. And although a 
 chain of wonderful events has restored many of the brightest gems of 
 art to their rightful owners, so much of excellence still remains, that 
 the gallery of the Louvre is yet, to the man of taste, the greatest attrac- 
 tion in Paris, and the very circumstance of the dispersion of so many 
 wonderful productions gives additional value to the work which de- 
 scribes them in a collected state. This work is not a mere collection 
 of prints. It contains many luminous and masterly dissertations upon 
 the state of the arts in different ages, observations upon the style, ex- 
 cellence and detects of the various schools of painting; a minute de- 
 scription of every painting, etc. , drawn with extreme care and correct-

 'LonAon, published for the Proprietor, 1828 
 
 Very scarce. A fine large paper copy of this splendid work, 
 which was published at;^i5 15s. The first issue, dated 1826, contains 
 100 fac-similes only ; the second issue has 129, with a corresponding 
 additional text (pp. 21-26). The above is complete in every respect. 
 
 The fac-similes of the Niello engravings, formerly in the possession 
 of Sir Mark Sykes, are executed on silver, in exact imitation of the 
 originals, besides which an impression of each plate is given on India 
 paper. Very few copies were printed. 
 
 This beautiful work may be fairly stated to be unpublished, as very 
 few copies were ever distributed, and those chiefly as presents by the 
 late proprietor. The accurate knowledge of the late Mr. Ottley in 
 this peculiar department of the fine arts is here displayed. It would 
 be impossible for the collector to have more faithful copies of the rare 
 specimens contained in the present elegant volume.

 Probably no fine art periodical has enjoyed so well-deserve4 a

 and eighteenth centuries ; the subjects selected and arranged 
 by A. Racinet [with Explanatory Description to each 
 Plate, and a General History of the Art of Ornamentation 
 in French] . Folio, fresh red crushed levant morocco extra, 
 broad inside gold borders, rounded corners, gilt edges. 
 
 Paris, Firmin Didot, n. d. 
 The best work on the subject, and so comprehensive that it forms 
 in itself a complete library, the plates giving generally complete 
 designs instead of mere fragments. 
 
 The execution exhibits the marvelous perfection which the art of 
 chroraolithography has attained under the skilful superintendence of 
 French editors. 
 
 It is needless to make any observations upon the importance or the 
 universality of the ornamental,— it is practically all but inseparable 
 from the useful. A work therefore exhibiting, arranging, explaining, 
 and reproducing with the minutest care the choicest examples of all 
 ages and periods, selected with reference to their adaptability to the 
 wants of the practical, must form aii invaluable acquisition to the 
 American student or art producer. 
 
 Monsieur Racinet is well known, both in France and this country, 
 as the author of the principal designs in those magnificent works, 
 " Le Moyen Age et la Renaissance," and " Les Arts Soraptuaires." 
 He was therefore peculiarly well fitted to grapple with the difficulties of 
 so intricate a subject, and it will be found that he has discharged his 
 
146 THE DORM AN LIBRAR Y. 
 
 task in a manner to deserve general approval and admiration. His 
 happy choice of subjects, all of them taken from originals, his 
 ingenious grouping of them in harmonious forms, his wonderful 
 accuracy in drawing, and his perfect fidelity of color are only equalled 
 by the profound knowledge which has enabled him to combine so vast 
 a collection in historical order, and yet in a classical form.

 fine early impressions, artist's proofs on India paper, 
 each plate attested by the artist's stamp. Together 2 vols.

 This beautiful work is engraved in the same size and manner as the 
 " Musee rran9ais,'' to which it would form a most valuable accom- 
 paniment. The plates are not only by far the finest of any that have 
 hitherto been executed to illustrate the grand paintings and frescoes 
 by Raphael, but will bear comparison with the best line engravings 
 ever produced.

 645 REMBRANDT. The Etched Work of, a Monograph, 
 
 with an Appendix by Francis Seymour Haden, F.R.C.S. 
 Plates. Large 8vo, boards, uncut. London, 1879 
 
 The works of Rembrandt, comprising 356 plates, etched by himself, 
 undoubtedly constitute the rarest, most varied and most admirable 
 collection of etchings that can possibly be got together. These 
 marvelous plates possess a charm for all. The artist fairly revels in 
 them. The philosopher discoveis in them a profound observation of 
 human nature which captivates his attention at once. The poet finds 
 in them a succession of fanciful shapes and sublime ideas. While the 
 man who never thinks of opening a book, unless it be to while away 
 a moment of leisure, may forget the outside world for days together 
 in the contemplation of these incomparable works.

 faithful picture of the existing state 'of the Bible lands.

 3, a Topographical Index, showing which Italian paintings 
 are found in every Town and Gallery of Italy and else- 
 where. With the plates of the first edition, and the 254 
 large plates reduced to the same ?ivo size — in all, 485 fine 
 outline engravings. 7 vols. 8vo, fresh half crushed levant 
 morocco, extra gilt, top edges gilt. Pisa, 1848-52

 celebrated paintings executed by the painters of Italy of all times and 
 
 all schools. 
 
 Whoever desires to make a study of Italian painting must have 
 
 Rosini's great work as a " Handbook." 
 The outline engravings are done with a delicacy and spirit ; they 
 
 truly place the original picture before the mind's eye. Whoever has 
 
 visited the Art Galleries of Europe or intends to see them, Rosini's 
 
 History will be a most precious acquisition.

 ROWLANDSONIANA. 
 
 652 ROWLANDSON (Thomas). "GOUT and DRINK." 
 An original sketch in water-colors by the great 
 Caricaturist. 13^ inches by 9^. 
 
 Unique. This facetious picture by the inimitable artist-satirist repre- 
 sents a valetudinarian suffering from the gout — his legs swollen into a 
 state of elephantiasis — his body writhing in torturing convulsions, and 
 his face the image of miserable despair. He is just about to take a 
 cup of nauseating physic, of which the bottle is labelled " 2 table- 
 spoonfuls every 6 hours. " On the table in front of the sufferer is a 
 bowl of gruel. His nurse — very much forty and very fat, with breasts 
 that would do honor to a Hottentot of the female persuasion — is 
 imbibing, bottle in hand, a dose of "the crathur" for her own satis- 
 faction, putting the spirits down in order to keep her own up. 
 
 Rowlandson was bom in Old Jewry, London, in 1756. Early in 
 life he was the recipient of a legacy of ;^7,ooo from an aunt, which he 
 soon wasted in gambling and debauchery, and only when his means 
 were exhausted would he set down to work. His drawings, somewhat 
 farcical, but very clever caricatures, were made with a reed pen, and 
 then colored in water-colors ; many of them are of large size, and all 
 indicate great skill of hand and keen observation. The above is an 
 excellent example. 
 
 652* ROWLANDSON. "THE GAMBLERS." An original 
 sketch in water-colors by Thomas Rowlandson. 
 Unique, a very humorous subject in neat passepartout and 
 
 OAK frame. 
 
 Every one at all acquainted with the arts must well know the 
 caricature works of that very eccentric genius, Rowlandson; the extent 
 of his talent, however, as a draughtsman, is not so ge;ieraUy known. 
 His studies from the human figure at the Royal Academy were made 
 in so masterly a style, that he was set up as a rival to Mortimer, whom 
 he would have excelled, had his subsequent mode of study kept pace 
 with the fecundity of his invention. His powers, indeed, were so ver- 
 satile; and his fancy so rich, that every species of composition flowed 
 from his pen with equal facility. There are certain subjects of his 
 compositions carried through with a compatibility of style so truly 
 original, and so replete with painter-like feeling, that Sir Joshua Rey- 
 nolds and Mr. West pronounced them wonders of art.

 ' ' Almost simultaneously vnth the issue of Mr. Du Manner's album 
 of Punch sketches, there has appeared a collection of work of the 
 same class, representing the England of a century ago. The illustra- 
 tions to ' Dr. Syntax ' have kept the name of Thomas Rowlandson 
 alive among those who are not specially students ; and among those 
 who are, there is not much danger of its ever perishing. Mr. Grego 
 has now edited two goodly quartos devoted to him, and containing not 
 only a methodical catalogue of his work, but also an abundant allow- 
 ance of examples selected with the double view of illustrating the work 
 
 itself and consulting modern notions of propriety But there 
 
 is really not much harm in Rowlandson. though he takes subjects and 
 employs manners of treatment which would hardly be suffered nowa-

 line engravings from the most famous paintings of J. W. M. 
 Turner, by Willmore at.d other celebrated engravers. 
 Large folio, super-elegant red turkey morocco, extra gilt, 
 broad inside gold borders, leather joints, edges gilt, by 
 Matthews. London, James Virtue, n. d. 
 
 Largest paper, with the portrait and sixty magnificent engravings, 
 all on India paper and proofs before any letters. 
 
 This is the only work containing the grandest productions of Tur- 
 ner's unrivalled pencil. It is not only remarkable for the excellence 
 of the engravings, but for its containing many fine specimens of his 
 Landscape and Marine Scenery which have not been hitherto engraved. 
 The engravers are J. B. Allen, J. C. Armytage, S. Bradshaw, 
 E. and R. Brandard, E. Challis, W. Chapman, C. and J. Cousen, 
 E. Goodall, W. HoU, C. H. Jeens, W. Miller, J. A. and T. A. 
 Prior, W. Richardson, C. W. Sharpe, Lumb Stocks, R. Wallis, A. 
 and J. T. Willmore, and C. H. Woodman. 
 
 His best works are in this series of engravings, and the ablest land- 
 scape engravers of the day were employed on the plates, among which 
 are some that, we feel assured, Turner himself would have been

 delighted to see. These proof impressions constitute a volume of 
 exceeding beauty. The number of copies printed was too limited for a 
 wide circulation, but, on that account, the rarity of the publication 
 makes it the more valuable. 
 
 It is not too much to affirm, that a more beautiful and worthy tribute 
 to the genius of the great painter does not exist, and is not likely to 
 exist at any future time. 
 
 "J. M. W. Turner is the only man who has ever given an entire 
 transcript of the whole system" of nature, and is, in this point of view, 
 the only perfect landscape painter whom the world has ever seen." — 
 RusKIN.

 Large paper, fine impressions. The copper-plates are destroyed. 
 The grand and picturesque effects of this great master of the school of 
 English landscape painters are truthfully exhibited in this, which, after 
 the Liber Studiorum, may be considered his finest work ; the engrav- 
 ing was executed by the best English artists, and possesses all the 
 fidelity to nature of the original drawings. Collectors of really fine 
 works of art should lose no time in securing copies, as they will soon 
 disappear from the market.

 Exquisite is a most thoroughly appropriate descriptive for this vol-

 the best talents of the best artists of his time, and it is stated that he 
 spent ;£■ 10,000 in the illustration of the above. J. M. W. Turner, 
 Prout, Thomas Stothard, and others, rivaled themselves, and the 
 genius of design was in turn rivaled by marvelously skilled engravers.

 Cruikshank may be considered — ' ' the modern Caillot. A never-ceasing, 
 still beginning source of amusement. Unlike most representations, his works 
 never tire, nor does his humor fail. Look at them a hundred times, and the 
 same laugh is sure to follow. To turn his designs into words, each print would 
 require a volume, so wonderfully does he condense his creative powers. Yet in 
 each a stern moral is afforded, and that in the most powerful and attractive 
 manner." 
 
 735 CRUIKSHANK (George). ORIGINAL WATER-COLOR 
 
 SKETCH. (10 inches by 13!.) 
 
 UNIQUE ORIGINAL SKETCH IN WATER-COLORS by 
 GEORGE CRUIKSHANK, and which he designed as a frontispiece 
 or title for an unpublished volume. 
 
 This facetious picture represents the inimitable delineator of human 
 nature in the character of a showman. He is dressed in the style 
 adopted by the bucks of forty to fifty years ago, with tightly drawn frock- 
 coat, Hessian boots, curled hat rim, green necktie, etc. Under his arm 
 is a tin horn, and he is about to open a show, of the shape of the old 
 Punch and Judy itinerant theatre. His own features display all the 
 prominent characteristics so peculiar to the artist, and which he loved 
 to display in his own designs upon every possible occasion. 
 
 Surrounding him is a deeply interested audience of London enfans- 
 terribles, not forgetting that terror of well-regulated establishments, the 
 little beast in buttons, whose shanks are models for pipe stems. 
 
 736 CRUIKSHANK.—" Hans of Iceland," 1825. Complete Set

 shank collectors know of its existence, and the only impression ever 
 sold by auction realized £,2.

 A. set of the original issue beautifully bound and in splendid condi- 
 tion. 
 
 The ' ' Comic Almanacks " of George Cruikshank have long been 
 regarded by admirers of this inimitable artist as among his finest, most 
 characteristic productions. Extending over a period of nineteen years, 
 from 1835 to 1853, inclusive, they embrace the best period of his 
 artistic career, and show the varied excellencies of his marvelous 
 power. The late Mr. Tilt, of Fleet Street, first conceived the idea of the 
 " Comic Almanack,'' and at various times there were engaged upon it 
 such writers as Thackeray, Albert Smith, the Brothers Mayhew, the late 
 Robert Brough, Gilbert A'Beckett, and, it has been asserted, Tom 
 Hood the elder. Thackeray's stories of " Stubbs' Calendar; or, the 
 Fatal Boots," which subsequently appeared as " Stubbs' Diary," and — 
 "Barber Cox; or, the Cutting of His Comb," formed the leading 
 attractions in the numbers for 1839 and 1840.

 bound in. London, Tilt, 1834-36 
 
 Very scarce original edition and on India paper. 
 
 The reader will examine the work called ' My Sketch Book ' with 
 not a little amusement, and may gather from it, as we fancy, a good 
 deal of information regarding the character of the individual man, 
 George Cruikshank. What points strike his eye as a painter; what 
 move his anger or admiration as a moralist; what classes he seems 
 most especially disposed to observe, and what to ridicule." — Thack- 
 eray.

 preceded it, illustrating as it does the Language, Opinions, Manners, 
 Usages, the Feelings and passing Events of the greater part of the 
 Reign of Queen Elizabeth."

 "For originality of design and diction, for quaint illustration and 
 musical verse, they are not surpassed in the [English language. 
 From the days of Hudibras to our time, the drollery invested in rhymes

 Rev. J. W. Ebsworth, M.A. Small 8vo, half morocco 
 gilt, top edge gilt. 
 
 London, 1615 — reprint, Boston, Lincolnshire, 1878 
 
 No. 57 of limited edition of 300 small paper and 50 large pape 
 copies. 
 
 The real author of ' ' Drunken Barnabie " by the industry of Hasle- 
 wood was fully ascertained. This quaint work is assigned to one W. 
 Bosworth, in Gentleman's Mag., Ixxv., 2,696. See, also, Ixxxi., 2,124, 
 and Wood's Athena Oxoniensis, ii., 55; where it is observed that the 
 English Translation, rather than the original, suggests the idea of his 
 name being Harrington. The writer, like another Eunius, appears 
 nunquam nisi potus. 
 
 " Braithwaite's merits are undoubtedly very considerable. Some of 
 his pieces are capable of affording instruction and delight. He was a 
 most extraordinary man in poetry and prose.' — Dibdin.

 Large paper and splendid copy, bound by Emile Rousselle. Lim- 
 ited edition of 200 copies, of which the above is on Van Gelder 
 Holland paper. 
 
 ' ' Brantome is frequently an amusing and instructive writer, but his 
 naivete often borders on what must be considered a little licentious. 
 He has preserved many important facts, as well as entertaining anec- 
 dotes, which must have otherwise perished. It is pleasant to find the 
 unaccountable omission of his name by La Harpe, supplied by a 
 short, but smart notice of him, by Barbier." — Dibdin's Library Com-

 837 BUTLER (Samuel). Hudibras, with Notes by Grey and 
 
 other Authors, also Life. Embellished with colored en- 
 gravings, the series known as the McLean and designed by I. 
 Clark. 2 vols. 8vo, tree marbled calf extra gilt, marbled 
 edges a la Riviere. London, 1822 
 
 Rare. Concerning Hudibras there is but one sentiment — it is uni- 
 versally allowed to be the first and last poem of its kind. The learn- 
 ing, wit and humor certainly stand unrivalled. Various have been the 
 attempts to describe the two last; the greatest English writers have 
 tried in vain — Cowley, Barrow, Dryden, Locke, Addison, Pope and 
 Congreve, all failed in their attempts ; perhaps they are more to be felt 
 than explained, and to be understood rather from example than pre- 
 cept; if any one wishes to know what wit and humor are, let him read 
 Hudibras with attention, he will there see them displayed in their 
 brightest colors. 
 
 "To find contrasts for the memoirs of Grammont, the compositions 
 of the drama and the writings of Dryden, and the wits; to see the 
 extreme of which human nature is capable, we may turn from these 
 productions and consult Grey's Notes to Hudibras, and also Hudibras 
 itself." — Prof. Smyth. 
 
 838 CASANOVA (Jacques de Seingalt). A Collection of 48 
 
 steel engravings in illustration of his very facetious work 
 Memoirs. (48) 
 
 Erotic and rare. Casanova's Memoirs, to which the above are 
 illustrations, transcend in interest those of all other adventurers from 
 Gil Bias downwards, with the added merit of being genuine and not 
 fictitious. Accomplished, generous, and of an audacity that never 
 failed him in the most critical moments, he visited every Court of 
 Europe, conversed with the most famous men, and intrigued with 
 women everywhere. He relates all these transactions with a cynical 
 precision that is sometimes frightful, and only to be forgiven in favor 
 of the terseness of the style and the brilliancy of the narrative.

 the library and with the heraldic book-plate of— ' ' William Stanley 
 Goddard, D.D. , Winchester College." 
 
 " C'est un vrai chef d'ceuvre typographique. " 
 
 The finest edition of Don Quixote, who " is to Europe in general 
 what Ariosto is to Italy and Shakespeare to England — the one book to 
 which the slightest allusions may be made without affectation, but not 
 missed without discredit. Numerous translations and countless edi- 
 tions of them in every language bespeak its adaptation to mankind; 
 and no writer has been found paradoxical enough to withhold his ad- 
 miration. ' ' — H ALLAM. 
 
 841 CERVANTES-SAAVEDRA. Don Quixote de la Mancha 
 
 translated from the Original Spanish by Charles Jarvis. 
 Embellished with the 24 highly finished and colored plates by

 ings expressly for this edition. 4 vols. 8vo, half green calf, 
 gilt. London, W. Stockdale, 1819

 Numerous fine etchings by Lalauze. 4 vols, large 8vo, 
 fresh cloth, uncut. Edinburgh, 1879-84 
 
 Large paper copy, with proofs on India paper. 
 
 No. 45 of 150 copies. Published at £2. 2s per vol. 
 
 To ensure the most perfect accuracy in these delineations of Spanish 
 life and scenery, M. Ad. Lalauze visited Spain, and made his draw- 
 ings on the spot. 
 
 " It will be a long time probably before the history of ' the ingenious 
 gentleman ' whom Cervantes has immortalized will reappear in more 
 luxurious form than these superb volumes. The paper is heavy, the 
 margins wide, the type large and attractive, and the full-page etchings 
 by M. Lalauze are well suited to the quaint humor and grotesqueness 
 of the greatest of satirical romances." — New York Tribune. 
 
 " This is one of the finest, if it be not actually the finest edition of 
 Don Quixote which has been published for very many years. In size, 
 in type, in paper, in excellence of illustration, it leaves nothing to be 
 desired. " — Scotsman. 
 
 " The great feature of the edition is the etchings of Lalauze. They 
 are all clever and skilful." — Manchester Guardian.

 In this learned work —the best we have on the subject — many of the 
 chapters are devoted to dissertations on matters of general interest to 
 students of literature. We instance Chap. XXIV., containing a 
 treatise on the erotica verba of the French language, the Argot, its 
 origin, etc.; also in Chap. XXXII., a highly interesting bibliographical 
 account of the Aretin plates by Marc Antonio, etc., etc 
 
 The author was threatened with criminal prosecution, and pledged 
 himself never to reproduce the work; it has now become scarce. 
 
 LARGE PAPER COPY OF TOM D'URFEY. 
 
 856 D'URFRY (T.). Wit and Mirth, or Pills to Purge 
 
 Melancholy ; a collection of the best Merry Ballads and 
 Songs, Old and New, fitted to all Humors, having each 
 their proper Tune for either Voice or Instrument. Fac- 
 simile reprint of the rare original edition, with portrait and 
 music. 6 vols. 4to, boards, uncut. 
 
 London, 1719-20 — reprint, 1872 
 
 Large paper, only 100 copies printed. 
 
 This is an exact and unmutilated reprint of this broadly comical col- 
 lection. The old music is fac simile. Buy them as a remedy for the 
 blues or a torpid liver. The book will outlast a shopful of nostrums; 
 the only injurious result that may possibly occur from moderate doses 
 of these pills is a splitting of the sides, an injury not likely to result in 
 anything setious. 
 
 What obtained Mr. D'Urfey his greatest reputation was a peculiarly 
 happy knack he possessed in the writing of satires and irregular odes. 
 Many of these were upon temporary occasions, and were of no little 
 service to the party in whose cause he wrote; which, together with his 
 natural vivacity and good humor, obtained him the favor of great 
 numbers, of all ranks and conditions, monarchs themselves not ex- 
 cluded, lie was strongly attached to the Tory interest, and in the 
 latter part of Queen Anne's reign had frequently the honor of diverting 
 that princess with witty catches and songs of humor suited to the spirit 
 of the times, written by himself, and which he sang in a lively and 
 entertaining manner. And the author of the Guardian, who, in No. 
 
1 88 THE DORM AN LIBRARY. 
 
 67, has given a very humorous account of Mr. D'Urfey, with a view to 
 recommend him to the public notice for a benefit play, tells us that he 
 remembered King Charles II. leaning on Tom D'Urfey's shoulder 
 more than once, and humming over a song with him. 
 
 " The pieces of this author are remarkable for licentiousness, loose- 
 ness of sentiment and indelicacy of vrit, yet are very far from being 
 devoid of merit."

 cated to Prof. Ebers.

 Among the " Livres 'de luxe " of the eighteenth century there is 
 one which is a marvel and a chef-d'oeuvre, an example without an 
 equal in the richness of a book. This work, the great monument and 
 triumph of the "vignette," which rises above and crowns all other 
 illustrations of the day, it is needless to state to all amateurs, is the 
 Tales of La Fontaine known as the edition of the " Fermiers- 
 Gifn&aux," a truly royal book of the last Mecoenean financiers ; one 
 of the grandest of the intelligent and sensual outlays of money of the 
 reign of Louis the Fifteenth, and an inimitable model of gallant 
 engraving applied to the illustration of light narrative.

 The artist, Honore Fragonard, was born at Nice in 1733, and died 
 in 1806. Spooner says : " He studied under Boucher, and having 
 carried off the grand prize of the Academy, he went to Rome with the 
 royal pension. On his return to Paris he was elected a Royal Acade- 
 mician in 1765, on which occasion he painted his fine picture of 
 ' Callirrhoe ' as his reception piece which was much admired. His 
 next work was the ' Visitation of the Virgin ' for the Duke of Gram- 
 mont. He soon, however, left the path of high atid noble subjects 
 which he had hitherto followed, and painted bacchanals, conversations, 
 and subjects of French manners, many of which had an exceedingly 
 licentious tendency."

 by Tony Johannot. 8vo, fresh polished calf gilt, edges 
 gilt. London, 1842 
 
 Some critics have pronounced the "Diable Boiteux " superior to 
 Gil Bias. 
 
 Sir Walter Scott says of this delightful romance — "There is no 
 book in existence in which so much of the human character, under all 
 its various shades and phases, is described in so few words, as in the 
 ' Diable Boiteux.' The fancy, the lightness, the spirit and the vivacity 
 of the enchanting pen of Le Sage are everywhere visible. To quote 
 examples would be to quote the work through almost every page. No 
 work has afforded a greater stock of passages, which have been 
 generally employed as apophthegms, or illustrations of human nature 
 and actions. 
 
 " If there is anything like truth in Gray's opinion, that to lie upon 
 a couch and read new novels was no bad idea of Paradise, how would 
 that beatitude be enhanced, could human genius afford us another 
 ' Gil Bias ' or a ' Devil on Two Sticks!' "

 A SPLENDID LIBRARY EDITION. 
 
 Take the scolarly 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," Syd- 
 ney 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 Rabe- 
 lais. 
 
 ' ' 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 Ra- 
 belais with the great creative minds of the world, Shakespeare, Dante, 
 Cervantes, etc." — S. T. Coleridge.

 With numerous illustrations by Gustave D0R16. Thick

 ' ' Cardinal Duprat was so enamored of Rabelais' works that he was 
 
 never without a copy of them. Wherever he went, his Rabelais went 
 
 with him. Cardinal Jean du Bellay was possessed of the same feeling; 
 
 he admired Rabelais so much, that he refused a learned individual of 
 
 the day a seat at his table because he had not read The Book, for so 
 
 Rabelais' singular narrative was called." — Ventouillac.

 " Taking the book as a whole, we must say that we know of no 
 other foreign poet who has been so well translated into English 
 verse. Mr. Payne's performance is so laudable that minute criticism 
 of it must be rather pedantic. Other translators will not only admire, 
 but envy. Lovers of poetry are not the only readers who will take 
 pleasure in Mr. Payne's version. It is as interesting to the student of 
 social history, for Villon is as minute a painter of the shady side, of 
 ancient, as Zola is of modern Paris. Mr. Payne has added a most 
 excellent account of Villon's life, which is infinitely the best thing 
 that has been written on the burglai -bard in English." — Pall Mall

 UNIQUE and very fine copy of this exceedingly rare edition of 
 Voltaire's Joan of Arc. Of Voltaire's tales, it is said that there is 
 more variety in his subjects than in La Fontaine, not a woman 
 seduced or a husband deceived. Sensuality is more decent, and with 
 the exception of a small number of pieces, the production of his early 
 youth, the tone of libertinism is banished. Voltaire adopts a violent 
 and brilliant cynicism for the punishment of vice and hypocrisy.

 " Beaumarchais began with buying the whole of Baskerville's types,

 Vosges, about fifteen miles from Kehl; was nice to excess in the 
 paper to be manufactured, and employed the most knowing workmen 
 engaged in the manufacture of Dutch paper. His printing-office

 expended, and the ultimate loss of a million was the result of his vast

 industry in his researches into the history of the Aztec races is something 
 not less than marvelous. Following his vocation as a priest and mis- 
 sionary, 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 systematized 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 solu- 
 tion 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.

 \" Calhoun, Clay and Webster are three names which will long be 
 
 venerated by Ameriean citizens. Of the three, Calhoun, during the 
 
 early part of his life, was perhaps the greatest favorite with the people. 
 
 His highly cultivated mind, profound views of Government, and his 
 
 pure character, gave great weight and importance to his opinions with 
 
 all parties. Of the writings and speeches of American statesmen, there 
 
 are scarcely any which bear so directly upon the great measures adopted 
 
 by our Government, as those of the lamented Calhoun. The war, the 
 
 revenue system, the currency, and State rights, were subjects upon 
 
 which he took a leading position, and greatly aided the decisions which 
 
 were made on them.

 " When, some four centuries ago, the enterprise of Spanish navi- 
 gators opened the vast continent of America to the admiration of Eu- 
 rope, the civilization of the New World was found to be concentrated 
 in two spots, and two only, of that enormous territory. One of these 
 favoured regions was Peru; the other was Mexico. It WAS IN MEXICO 
 ESPECIALLY THAT ART, POLITICS AND SCIENCE HAD RECEIVED THEIR 
 
 GREATEST DEVELOPMENT. All the rest of North America, from the 
 shores of Hudson's Bay to the mouths of the Mississippi, was desolate 
 and barbarous, diversified only by swamp, forest, or prairie, and popu- 
 lated by savages without knowledge or laws. Mexico alone redeemed 
 the character of the new continent, and presented to the eyes of the 
 invaders a spectacle so marvellous as to satisfy even the expectations 
 which the great discovery had raised. There the Spaniards found an 
 organized State, an ancient polity, an opulent capital, an exalted dy- 
 nasty, a formidable priesthood, and a people well skilled in mechanical 
 and decorative arts. So great, in fact, was the proficiency of the Mex- 
 ican workmen, so elaborate the system of government, and so impress- 
 ive the whole evidence of wealth and grandeur, that for some time the 
 civilization of Mexico was regarded as superior to that of Europe. 
 Although, indeed, the researches of modern inquirers have enabled us 
 to supply some corrective to these ideas, it is really probable that in 
 certain respects the Spaniards found Mexico more advanced than Spain, 
 and we have been recently assured on the authority of a comprehensive 
 history that this civilization was the necessary incident of geographical 
 and natural advantages. Such was the situation and configuration of 
 Mexico that it could hardly fail to make progress, and all that was dis- 
 covered there in the shape of national wealth or political order repre- 
 sented the extraordinary opportunities which nature had provided." —

 The original edition of this splendid work, now extremely rare. A 
 few plates and pages of text are carefully mended and inlaid. 
 
 As early as 1824 the practice was begun of taking portraits of the 
 principal Indians who came to Washington, and depositing them in the 
 War Department. Under the management of Col. M'Kinney, Super- 
 intendent of Indian Affairs, the number rapidly increased till a very 
 interesting gallery was formed. They were chiefly painted by Mr. 
 King, an artist of high repute, who was remarkably successful in 
 transferring to his canvas the strong lineaments of the Indian coun- 
 tenance. Col. M'Kinney conceived the plan of making this rare and 
 curious collection more valuable to the world by publishing a series of 
 engraved portraits exactly copied and colored from these paintings. 
 With each portrait is connected a biographical sketch of the individual 
 whom it is intended to represent, interspersed with anecdotes and nar- 
 rations. The work contains also a historical account of the various 
 Indian tribes within the borders of the United States

 The author, a native of Spain, was taken in -early life to Mexico, 
 about the year 1523, where he soon learned the Mexican language, 
 and even as a child he acted as interpreter between the first mission- 
 aries and the native Indians. He afterwards devoted his life to the 
 propagation of useful knowledge in the Mexican language, and his 
 known works bear testimony to his great zeaL

 The most important work ever written on the subject of the 
 aborigines of America. It embodies almost all the existing authentic 
 information concerning their religions, traditions, languages, arts, 
 ethnology and history. It was collected and prepared under the 
 direction of the U. S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. The work comprises 
 the General History and Mental Type of the Indian Race; Antiquities 
 of the United States ; Physical Geography of the Indian Country; 
 Tribal Organization; History and Government; Intellectual Character 
 and Capacity of the Red Man; Population and Statistics, etc,, etc. 
 The information given is of the most reliable and interesting nature, 
 having been prepared under the direction of the Bureau of Indian 
 Affairs, and published by authority of Congress. 
 
 It has performed a very important service for Indian history, in 
 collecting and preserving an immense amount of historic data. 
 Vocabularies of Indian languages, grammatical analysis, legends of 
 various tribes, biographies of chiefs and warriors, narratives of 
 captivities, histories of Indian wars, emigrations and theories of their 
 origin, are all related and blended in an extraordinary and perplexing 
 manner. A very large number of beautiful steel engravings, repre-

 This work, which is regarded as one of the best ethnological author- 
 ities, was looked upon, when first published, with great abhorrence by 
 , the ecclesiastical element. Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania, launched 
 his anathemas against it. Among other disagreeable things he said, was 
 the following: "Written under the influence of avowed prejudices 
 against certain races of men, and descending to the use of caricature in 
 order to bring them into disrepute, it stops at hardly anything which 
 can cast reproach on Scripture. No jests are too coarse, no revilings 
 too bitter or contemptuous, no special pleadings too perverse," etc., etc.

 " Mr. Faber, in his admirable work on the Pagan Idolatry, has col- 
 lected and separately examined all the different systems of the Heathen 
 Mythology; and has shown that there is such a singular, minute, and 
 regular accordance among them, not only in what is obvious and nat- 
 ural, but also in what is arbitrary and circumstantial, both in fanciful 
 speculations and in artificial observances as to render untenable every 
 other hjrpothesis than this — ' that they must all have originated from 
 some common source.' " — Cory.

 "Mr. Spencer is one of the most vigorous as well as boldest thinkers

 "He is -as keen an analyst as is known in the history of philosophy; 
 I do not except either Aristotle or Kant." — George Riplev. 
 
 "We cannot refrain from offering our tribute of respect to one who, 
 whether for the extent of his positive knowledge, or for the profundity 
 of his speculative insight, has already achieved a name second to none 
 in the whole range of English philosophy, and whose works will worthily

 " A knowledge of the commonplace, at least, of Oriental literature, philo-

 an acquaintance with the Latin and Greek classics was a generation or so ago. 
 Immense strides have been made within the present century in these branches of 
 learning; Sanskrit has been brought within the range of accurate philology, and 
 its invaluable ancient literature thoroughly investigated ; the language and 
 sacred books of the Zoroastrians have been laid bare : Egyptian, Assyrian, and 
 other records of the remote past have been deciphered, and a group of scholars 
 
 speak of still more recondite Akkadian and Hittite monuments "

 They throw more light upon the mystery of Arab life than perhaps all 
 other works in the language. An attentive and reflective reader will

 achievements of beneficent and malignant genii, distinctly to perceive 
 the real forms of national opinion, habits and circumstances.

 These are tales supposed to have been told by the Buddha of what 
 he had seen and heard in his previous births. They are probably the 
 nearest representatives of the original Aryan stories from which sprang 
 
244 THE DORM AN LIBRAE Y. 
 
 the folk-lore of Europe as well as India, and , from which the Semitic 
 nations also borrowed much. The introduction contains a most inter- 
 esting disquisition on the migrations of these fables, tracing their reap- 
 pearance in the various groups of folk-lore legends respectively known 
 as " ^sop's Fables, " the " Hitopadesa," the Calilag and Damnag 
 series, and even " The Arabian Nights." Among other old friends, we 
 meet with a version of the Judgment of Solomon, which proves, after 
 all, to be an Aryan, and not a Semitic tale.

 Small 8vo, cloth, top edge gilt. Boston, 1881 
 
 The design of this little work is to provide for missionaries, and for 
 others who, hke them, have little leisure for original research, an accu- 
 rate summary of the doctrines of the Vedanta. 
 
 ' ' There can be no question that the religious doctrines most widely 
 held by the people of India are mainly Pantheistic. And of Hindu 
 Pantheism, at all events in its most modern phases, its Vedantasira 
 presents the best summary. But then this work is a mere summary : a 
 skeleton, the dry bones of which require to be clothed with skin and 
 flesh, and to be animated by .vital breath before the ordinary reader 
 will discern in it a living reality. Major Jacob, therefore, has wisely 
 added to his translation of the Vedantasara copious notes from the 
 writings of well-known Orienntal scholars, in which he has, we think, 
 elucidated all that required elucidation. So that the work, as here pre- 
 sented to us, presents no difficulties which a very moderate amount of 
 application will not overcome." — Tablet.

 This is one of the most magnificent productions of France since the 
 Revolution. Napoleon wished to cover his Egyptian defeat with the 
 splendor of victory, and to intimate to the French by this work, that 
 conquest was within his grasp had not his Destiny recalled him to a 
 more important career. Accordingly, the first artists were engaged to 
 bestow on this work their most brilliant efforts. Success was sure to be 
 remunerated with Imperial munificence, whilst failure or even negli- 
 gence would be attended with inevitable disgrace. In consequence, 
 the plates are all executed on the most extensive scale, and in the 
 most splendid manner, and form a grand and brilliant exhibition of the 
 remains of ancient Egypt, and of whatever is most striking in the 
 Palaces, Buildings, Scenery, Arts and Sciences of Modern Egypt. The 
 Plates of Natural History are highly colored. 
 
 " By its care for scientific and literary interests, the mind of France 
 conquered even when the sword fell from her hand. France brought 
 back a pure and permanent conquest from Egypt — a conquest unsullied 
 by a crime and undimmed by a tear. The labors of her learned com- 
 missioners on the Nile will continue a portion of her intellectual 
 empire to the end of time. No disaster can ever rob her of that 
 glory — so worthily won and so modestly worn." — Atheneum.

 In the Mysteries, the dramas acted at Eleusis and other sacred places, 
 were embodied the deeper thoughts and religious sentiment of the 
 archaic world. The men and women initiated into them were believed 
 to be thenceforth under special care of God, for this life and the future. 
 So holy and interior were the doctrines considered which had been 
 learned in the Sanctuary from the two tablets of stone, that it was not 
 lawful to utter them to another. What was seen and learned elsewhere 
 might be admirable; latf the exercises of Eleusis and Olyrapia had in 
 them the something divine, and those who observed them were " the 
 children of God," and imagining him in wisdom, intuitive discern- 
 ment, and love. The reader desirous of getting the kernel of the doc- 
 trines of Plato, Orpheus, Eumolpas, and their fellow-laborers, as well 
 as the Alexandrian Eclectics, will obtain invaluable aid from this 
 treatise.

 " Neither is there no use in knowing something about this old Paganism of 
 our fathers. Unconsciously and combined with higher things, it is in us yet, 
 that old faith withal. To know it consciously brings us into closer and clearer 
 relations with the past, — with our own possessions in the past. For the whole 
 past, as I keep repeating, is the possession of the present. The past had always 
 something true, and is a precious possession. "^-Thomas Carlyle.

 " Those persons who, in modern times, adopt the doctrine of the 
 Devil in its strictly literal and personal application, do not appear to 
 be aware that they are in reality polytheists, heathens, idolaters. The 
 belief in the actual existence of such a personage as the Devil or 
 Satan, indeed, appears to have originated, partly, in superstitious 
 fears, imposture, and credulity, and, partly, in a vain and preposterous 
 attempt to impersonate a principle which might be made to account 
 for the existence of all that has been supposed to be evil in the uni- 
 verse. This diabolical idea, however universally it may have been 
 entertained, appears to have been founded upon a misconception of 
 the genuine meaning of the Sacred Scriptures — the acceptation of a 
 figure for a fact — and to be opposed alike to religion, to reason, and 
 to common sense. There cannot be but one God — one sole creator of 
 all things. The Supreme Creator and Governor of the universe can 
 have no equal, no antagonist, no rival. The very idea of such an 
 antagonism, indeed, involves a contradiction in terms, and has given 
 birth to many false, fantastic, and mischievous notions, including all 
 the monstrous barbarities of witchcraft and sorcery."

 vols. Small 8vo, fresh cloth, uncut. London, 1876-77 
 
 The first and second editions had been long out of print when this 
 third one was undertaken. It contains the same matter as the original 
 edition, but is in some measure improved, a greater degree of accuracy 
 having been aimed at in verifying quotations, and in correcting the 
 typographical and other errors which had inevitably crept into the 
 text. 
 
 " We believe that much of the ' Broad Stone of Honour ' was 
 written before Mr. Digby was received into the Church, but though the 
 latter portions may show a more decidedly Catholic tone, yet the early 
 part is conceived and carried out in such a high and reverential spirit 
 as to be quite in harmony with the succeeding volumes. There is, if 
 we may say so, a prodigality of learning in all Mr. Digby 's works. He 
 is equally at home in the classics, in old English literature, in the earlier 
 writings of the Continent, and in the works of modern authors. His 
 reading must have been extensive, well ordered and severe, and his memory 
 must be singularly retentive to enable him to call to mind the passages 
 which he requires, and to arrange them so admirably that they seem to 
 rise unbidden in their proper places. There is, moreover, a breadth 
 and a largeness of view the very opposite of the narrow and contracted 
 range of many writers. Mr. Digby sees things and actions, books and 
 their authors, from a Catholic point of view: not ' Catholic ' in the 
 heretical and sectarian sense, "but in its true meaning, and he refers all 
 his labors to their proper end. It is a matter for much regret that this 
 most edifying and able writer, who has been before the public for fifty 
 years, has not apparently a disciple worthy of receiving his mantle. To 
 write properly of the Ages of Faith and of Chivalry, it is necessary to 
 understand and to feel the spirit of both." — London Tablet.

 " This romance, beyond all doubt the most interesting of its class, 
 is well known as one of the very few in Don Quixote's Library which 
 escaped the merciless fury of the Licentiate and the Barber. Such, 
 indeed, is its merit, that the lapse of four hundred years has not greatly 
 diminished its attractions, and the admirable version of Mr. Southey, 
 which, by rejecting or veiling the occasional indelicacy of the original, 
 has removed the weightiest objection of Ascham, most deservedly finds 
 admirers in the nineteenth century."

 A splendid copy of this superb work, and which contains the 
 Supplementary leaves by Sir Harris Nicolas, completing the 
 Catalogue of Knights to 1846. This, a copy of the original 
 edition, having the plates beautifully illuminated in gold and 
 colors. It was printed at the Chiswick Press. 
 
 " Sir Harris Nicolas has produced the first comprehensive History 
 of the British Orders of Knighthood ; and is OjNK of the most elab- 
 orately prepared and splendidly printed works that ever 
 ISSUED from the PRESS. The Author appears to us to have neglected 
 , no sources of information, and to have exhausted them, as far as 
 regards the general scope and purpose of the inquiry. The graphical 
 illustrations are such as become a work of this character upon such a 
 subject, at, of course, a lavish cost. The resources of the recently re- 
 vived art of wood-engraving have been combined with the new art of

 " Without being unfair to previous collections of the poet's works, 
 we cannot recall any which can for a moment be compared in magni- 
 ficence to that which has been published in six volumes by Mr. Paterson 
 of Edinburgh, under the supervision of Mr. Scott Douglas. It is, if 
 we may say so, the completest of the many ' Complete Editions ' of 
 Burns' works. A library edition such as this is the best and aptest 
 monument to Burns. His fame constantly rises. It is no longer a 
 faint star, beautiful but dim; in full splendour it shines in the flrma 
 ment. . . . No casket is too precious for the records of his genius. . . 
 Ke has been known for many years as an ardent and acute student of 
 the history of Burns. The drawings from the pencil of the late Mr. 
 Sam Bough are admirable. It was an excellent choice to make him 
 the interpreter of Burns's genius. An artist after Burns's own heart — 
 ' rough, rude, ready-witted ' — he would have been loved and sung 
 by the poet had they known each other. " — London Times. 
 
 ' ' For the benefit of English readers — perhaps, also, for the informa-

 Each of the most powerful impulses by which, in turn, the social and 
 intellectual life of Germany in turn was governed, found in Goethe its 
 earliest and also its most striking representative ; and while he inter- 
 preted the tendencies of the age with felicitous intuition, and prefigured 
 their results with wonderful richness of imagination, he gained a firm 
 hold on popular feeling through that very coldness and practicality of 
 moral sentiment which always kept him, from an ethical point of view, 
 on a level with the world around him.

 In Faust, Goethe has embodied the results of his mature and infin- 
 itely varied experience, with his ripest, richest, and profoundest 
 thoughts ; the whole being wrought out with admirable skill, and 
 everywhere illumined, so to speak, with passages of the most exquisite 
 poetry, touching in turn every chord of the human heart

 ' Kaust ' has never before been as faithfully represented to English

 Regarding Heine as a wit and humorist alone, his sayings and 
 opinions have a charm unrivaled in the history of literature. We 
 believe it was M. Thiers who said that he was the wittiest Frenchman 
 since Voltaire, and, in his power of the application of wit, and in his 
 readiness with it, he certainly was as universal as that extraordinary 
 spirit; while, as respecting his humor, he could be in tones as tender 
 as Sterne, and as savage and grave as Swift.

 Ben Jonson's name stands next to that of Shakespeare in the list of 
 illustrious dramatists of the Elizabethan period. A faithful reprint of 
 the now very scarce edition issued in 1 8 16, so ably edited by William 
 Gifford, and. contains all the Critical and Explanatory Notes and Bio- 
 graphical Memoir by that most accomplished commentator. No 
 possible means have been neglected to render the production worthy of 
 the mechanical skill of the nineteenth century. 
 
 " His parts were not so ready to run of themselves, as able to answer 
 the spur; so that it may be truly said of him, that he had an elaborate 
 wit, wrought out by his own industry. — He would sit silent in learned 
 company, and siick in {besides wine) their several humors into his ob- 
 servation. What was ore in others, he was able to refine himself. 
 
 " He was paramount in the dramatic part of poetry, and taught the 
 stage an exact conformity to the laws of comedians. His comedies 
 were above the Volge (which are only tickled with downright obscenity), 
 and took not so well at the first stroke as at the rebound, when beheld 
 the second time ; yea, they will endure reading so long as either inge- 
 nuity or learning are fashionable in our nation." — Fuller's Worthies 
 of England.

 " ' Lilly was a pedantic and affected writer with considerable talents, 
 not indeed for the drama, but for the rude, verbose-romance of those 
 days, and which had a striking influence not only on our colloquial but

 ' ' As regards mere faithfulness of translation, it is astonishingly cor- 
 rect. Besides writing a modest prefatory life, Mr. Van Laun has pre- ' 
 fixed to each play an Introduction containing all necessary information 
 respecting its sources and circumstances, and has added to each an 
 appendix of peculiar interest. These appendices contain full extracts 
 from the plays in which English playwrights have done themselves the 
 honour to ' convey ' Moliere's good things. . . . The portrait of Mo- 
 liere is extremely fine." — Academy.

 Racine — "contests with his immediate predecessor, Comeille, the 
 glory of being the greatest among the French tragic dramatists. His 
 grace and melody of diction are exquisite ; and his refined tenderness 
 of feeling, often melting into profound pathos, breaks out through all 
 the barriers imposed by the unities, and the simple plots and the 
 monotony of the rhymed Alexandrine verse."

 Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge, Dec, 1879, for £,T2. 8s. I saw the 
 catalogue of this sale, which Luyster lent to me some two months ago, 
 thinking I might want to bid on some of the rarities contained in it, 
 which he kindly offered to attend to for me, and the Ritson was much 
 less complete than my copy, and unbound. All the books brought ex-

 nary leaves and a few pages of the "Tempest" and " Cymbeline. " 
 There have been added in fac-simile the following pages: — " To the

 "To the memorie of my beloued, etc.''; " Vpon the Lines and Life, 
 etc."; "A Catalogve of the seuerall Comedies, etc."; "Tempest,"

 inclusive, also pages 387, 388, 393, 394, 395 and 396. 
 
 The fac-simile title is unique of its kind. Many experts cannot rec- 
 ognize any known connection between it and other process or set-up 
 fac-similes. It most certainly was not executed in the 19th century, 
 and it has been suggested that this Droeshout portrait has been India- 
 inked over a wood engraving. It is as it is, and, like the volume itself, 
 will be sold as it is, including all fac-similes, inlayings, etc. 
 
 " The' first folio edition of the Works of Shakspeare (1623) is a rare 
 treasure. The Grenville copy, said to be the most beautiful known, 
 was bought in i8ig for 116 guineas. The Duke of Roxburgh's copy 
 fetched 100 guineas. At Mr. Baker's sale a copy, described as the 
 only one containing the two cancelled leaves in "As You Like It," 
 fetched .^163 15s. But Mr. Daniell's copy went far beyond these 
 prices. Miss Burdett Coutts gave for it no less than 682 guineas." —

 Retzsch, Cruikshank, Kenny Meadows, Richter, Fuseli, Dudley,

 required it. 
 
 This superb edition of the works of the Bard of Avon is uniform in 
 size and type with the Edition de Luxe of the Works of Charles 
 Dickens. 
 
 The edition consisted of One Thousand Copies, each of which was

 numbered. The above is No. 105. A few extra copies were printed 
 for presentation and for the literary press. As each volume was printed 
 the type was distributed. 
 
 The text chosen for this Edition de Luxe was that of Mr. Howard 
 Staunton, " Certainly one of the Best Texts we have " {Atheruzum, 
 March I2, 1881), and it is printed in large, clear, new type, on a paper 
 of the very finest quality, made specially for the work. 
 
 The illustrations in this edition, Eight Hundred in Number, by Sir 
 John Gilbert, R.A., without doubt the finest draughtsman on wood 
 of his time, were printed from the Original Wood Blocks on real China 
 Paper, by Messrs. R. Clay, Sons and Taylor, and are mounted in 
 the Text. These, with the 800 extra-inserted plates, make the above 
 copy one of the most desirable unique sets of Shakespeare that has ever 
 come upon the market.

 Kenny Meadows, and numerous steel plates. Remarqu:^ 
 PROOFS 3 vols, large 8vo, half green morocco gilt, marbled 
 edges. London, 1846 
 
 The .illustrations form a feature of this edition of Shakespeare. The 
 artistic genius and skill of Kenny Meadows have been put forth in 
 their highest power. He has caught touches of feeling ; sparklings 
 of humor ; the keen sense of wit, and the burlesque of ridicule. His 
 designs, dispersed throughout the work, number upwards of one thou- 
 sand. The government of Great Britain granted him a pension for 
 the genius displayed in the drawings from which the wood engravings 
 are taken.

 from the works of authors with several of whom Shakespeare ,was per- 
 sonally acquainted. The students and scholars of the great dramatist will 
 here find illustrations, until now unquarried, from his marvelous writ- 
 ings. And in the first three chapters of the work bibliophilists will dis- 
 cover information, once lying widely scattered, now brought into com- 
 pass and order. Also to every one of the Teutonic race, by whom 
 / Shakespeare is reverenced, there is offered further insight into the 
 
 course which his genius pursued in elevating and refining its own 
 powers.

 ' ' A fruit of his younger years ; yet was it in such high esteem, as 
 an authentic collection of curious remarks, by the generality of men in 
 place and business, that it was the constant practice of divers clerks, in 
 parliament and term time, to transcribe copies of it for the use and ser- 
 vice of the lovers of antiquity and state ; and these copies had the

 This is a most important work for the Shakspearian student; the 
 great researches of the author have enabled him to bring to light many 
 facts hitherto unknown in reference to the great bard. All the 
 documents possessing any real claim to importance are inserted at full 
 length, and many of them are now printed for the first time. With 
 respect to the illustrations, which have been executed by J. T. Blight, 
 F. W. Fairholt, E. W. Ashbee, and J. H. Rimbault, no endeavors 
 have been spared to attain the strictest accuracy.

 The first collected edition of Shelley's Prose. It comprises the two 
 early novels, his letters, pamphlets, essays, translations, etc. The 
 illustrations consist of a beautiful portrait of the poet etched by W. 
 B. Scott, charts of Shelley's pedigree, and etching of Field Place, 
 a fac-simile of a sketch made by Shelley, an etched plate of Casi 
 Magni, etc.

 Shelley will be found to stand immeasurably higher than Byron. 
 Whatever may have been the errors of his head, his heart appears, by 
 the testimony of all who knew him, to have been eminently kind, gen- 
 erous and unselfish. And if his conduct seems occasionally to contra- 
 dict this view, it was => rare exception to the general rule ; while with 
 Byron the reverse was true, pride and selfishness was the rule, 
 disinterestedness the exception. 
 
 " It is our best consolation to know that such a pure-minded and 
 exalted being was once among us, and now exists where we hope one 
 day to join him. Although the intolerant in their blindness poured 
 down anathemas, the Spirit of Good, who can judge the heart, never re- 
 jected him." — Mary Godwin Shelley.

 ' ' I rejoice you have met with Froissart ; he is the Herodotus of a

 curiosity, his religious credulity, were much like those of the old 
 Grecian." — -Gray's Letters. 
 
 Sir Walter Scott, in his " Tales of My Landlord," thus speaks of 
 the above: — " Did you ever read Froissart? " " No,'' said Morton. 
 " I have half a mind," said Claverhouse," " to contrive you should 
 have six months' imprisonment in order to procure you that pleasure.

 ' ' Rapin and Hume are our two great historians. Rapin is im- 
 portant, and always unaffected and laborious — a work which may 
 readily and ought always to be compared with Hume. It is full, 
 valuable, and a sort of substitute in the absence of all other writers. 
 Tindal is not unworthy to be the successor of Rapin ; equally dili- 
 gent and copious, with the same attachment of the best interests of 
 Englishmen, and, like his predecessor, a sort of general substitute in 
 the absence of other writers." — Professor Smyth.

 It was not only as a financial reformer that the Due de Sully served 
 King Henry the Fourth of France and his country. He was the 
 King's counsellor in all the great measures of the reign with regard to 
 foreign affairs, and also in those by which belief of conscience and full 
 rights of citizenship were guaranteed to the Huguenots ; and by which 
 the effective administration of the law and the maintenance of order 
 and tranquility were secured. 
 
 " The Memoirs of Sully finish the portrait of these times, in finish- 
 ing for us, not only the portrait of Henry IV., but in giving us many 
 curious particulars respecting the practical government of France, its 
 finances, factions and the whole state of its constitution and interests. 
 His work is authentic and practically valuable, and must be read." —

 " 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. Dur- 
 ing the course of his inquiries on the suTaject, 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

 Large paper. Only 100 copies printed. Very scarce in this size. 
 The 6nest production of the celebrated Riverside Press, and the most 
 . beautiful example of American typography. 
 
 To posterity and distant ages. Bacon bequeathed his good name, and

 has suffered in his disgrace, but year after year brings to light proof of 
 the arts that worked Bacon's downfall and covered his charcter with

 The great Johnson has praised the " Anatomy of Melancholy" 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 ac- 
 quire the reputation of being well-read, with the least trouble, is, ' Bur- 
 ton's Anatomy of Melancholy. ' " — Lord Byron.

 facetious John Lyly, was a necessary qualification to a courtly gallant. "

 ' ' Montaigne is the earliest classical writer in the French language, 
 the first whom a gentleman is ashamed not to have read. No writer of 
 the XVIth century has given so much delight," — Hallam, 
 
 "The essays are an entertaining soliloquy on every random topic 
 
 ^ that comes into his head; treating everything without ceremony, yet 
 
 with masculine sense. There have been men with deeper insight, but 
 
 one would say, never man with such abundance of thoughts; he is never 
 
 dull, never insincere, and has the genius to make the reader to care for 
 
 ^ all that he cares for. " — Emerson. 
 
 ' ' Montaigne and Howell's Letters are my bed-side books. I like 
 to hear them tell their old stories over and over again. I am informed 
 that both of them tell coarse stories. I don't heed them, it was the 
 custom of their time as it is of Highlanders and Hottentots to dispense 
 with a part of dress which we all wear in cities. "— W. M. Thackeray.

 " It (the Noctes) is a most singular and delightful outpouring of 
 criticism, politics and description of feeling, character and scenery, of 
 verse and prose, and maudlin eloquence, and especially of wild fun. It 
 breathes the very essence of the Bacchanalian revel of clever men. 
 And its Scotch is the very best Scotch that has been written in modern 
 times. " — Lord Cockburn.

 to a competency and sound information. . . . No one in this age 
 has equalled him in detail and comprehensive conceptions." — Taine.

 acter ! " — Diderot.

 Thackeray traced the frivolities of society with an iron pen ; he leans 
 almost as heavily upon them as he does upon vices that are the growfth 
 of luxury and that false position into which people labor to thrust 
 themselves, under the idea that because they are with a set they are of 
 a set. t 
 
 " The highest, purest English novelist since Fielding, he combined 
 Addison's love of virtue with Johnson's hatred of cant; Horace Wal- 
 pole's lynx-eye in the mean and ridiculous with the gentleness and wide 
 charity for mankind, as a whole, of Goldsmith."
