NOTE. 
 
 The following pages contain a brief descriptive list, arranged 
 alphabetically, of the most important bibliographies, and book- 
 sellers' and auctioneers' catalogues of old, scarce, and valuable 
 books, pamphlets, manuscripts, maps and charts relating to the 
 antiquities, history, and geography of North and South America, 
 the West Indies, the Great South Sea, and voyages round the 
 World. Of the general bibliographies not included in the pres- 
 ent list, but which are of great value to Americanists, the reader 
 should consult Brunet's Manual ; Lowndes' Manual ; Bibliotheca 
 Grenvilliana ; Harvard College Library Bulletins ; Catalogues 
 of the Boston Public Library, Library of Congress, Astor Library, 
 Boston Athenaeum ; and the works of DeBure, Antonio, Graesse, 
 Boehmer, Panzer, and Meuselei.

 "Antonio de Aloedo y Bexarano, the author of the well-known Geo- 
 graphical Dictionary, compiled a Bibliotheoa Americana, which never 
 was printed. This bulky compilation seems to be based entirely upon 
 Pinelo-Baroia, with the addition of a few bibliographical notes, which 
 are of interest only when referring to modern American authors. The 
 titles are ^iven in alphabetical order, abridged, and selected with very 
 little discrimination."— Hakrisse, Bib. Am. Vet., p. xxiv. 
 
 Manuscript copies are in the Sparks collection at Cornell, the John 
 Carter-Brown library in Providence, and the library of H. H. Bancroft, of 
 San Francisco.

 "The numerous well-chosen biographical and critical references ap- 
 pended to the names of the more prominent authors render it an abso- 
 lute necessity to the conscientious student of English literature, while 
 its great wealth of bibliographical information and curious lore should 
 make it the vade mecum of the book collector and the literary antiquary."

 "^Bareia's work is an immense repertorium, containing abridged titles, 
 all translated into Sjjanish, and fraught with inaccuracies of all kinds. 
 The multiplicity of iildeces, and the different paginations render this

 painstaking bibliographers may discover notices, especially in the men- 
 tion of manuscript sources, which could not be found in aity othei' work. 
 Maily of the errors which mar the utility of subsequent bibliogrdt>hies can 
 be traced to Pinelo-Barcia."— Hareisse, Bib. Am. Vet. p. xvii.

 similarly enlarged and reprinted with 482 more titles, 1600-1700, in 1882. A 
 fewcopies of the 1875 edition of vol. 1 bear this title: Bibliographical 
 Notices of B,are and Curious Books relating to America, printed in 
 the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, in the library of the late John 
 Carter Brown, by John Russell Bartlett. 
 
 " Mr. Bartlett has performed his part in a most admirable manner. To 
 a faithful_ description of the books themselves, he has added numerous 
 and judicious notes of his own as to their character, besides presenting 
 an analytical view of the contents of the more extensive publications. 
 Besides, whenever he has found a valuable note by another band relating 
 to the books, its author or subject, he has not fa.iled to avail himself of it. 
 The maps he has chosen for illustration are few, but they are choice. The 
 titles, portraits, printers' devices, vignettes, and woodcuts in facsimile 
 are profuse, carrying the mind back to the past, to revel in the early times 
 to which they relate. In adopting this auxiliary of description Mr. 
 Bartlett has gone far beyond other bibliographers. As it is, the fortunate 
 possessor of this volume [vol. 1,1875] will have all the means which can 
 be afforded for collation with the books it describes except the works 
 themselves."— H. C. MnKPHT,in American Bibliopolist, vol. 7. no. 77. 
 
 Mr. Brown was a large buyer of rare books from the collections formed 
 by Obadiah Rich in London and Henri Ternaux in Paris. 
 
 This famous library of Americana of works published between the years 
 1482 and 1800 is well nigh perfect, and is quite unsurpacsed.

 With Bibliographical and Historical Notes, and Synopses of 
 the Contents of some of the Works least known. 8vo, pp. iv, 
 430. /Vcw York: Scribner, Armstrong & Co. 1873 
 
 Nearly two thousand works in Latin, Spanish, Dutch and English. 
 
 The most extensive list of books on the American Indians. Mr. Field 
 devoted many years to the acquisition of the books, and his notes, which 
 are numerous, convey much valuable information concerning not only 
 the books, but the Indians themselves. 
 
 " The reader of the Essay will not fail to notice the strong humanitar- 
 ian views which are held by Mr. Field. It would be difficult for any one 
 to add to the energetic adjectives which distinguish some of his denun- 
 ciations of the perpetrators of cruelties on the Indians." — Sabin. 
 
 "This bibliographical handbook, embracing a collection of about 1800 
 works, may be considered the chief, if not the only one of its kind. The 
 author's notes are judicious and valuable, and have an interest heyond 
 even the actual subject of the Essay. Collectors of Americana of every 
 kind will derive pleasure and profit from a labour that evinces a wide 
 range of study and experience." — B. Qtjaritch.
