Nearly twenty years ago I began a tolerably comprehensive course of historical reading. In selecting the works necessary for this I got into the way of frequenting booksellers' shops, and thus became inoculated with the disease which, in its development, made me a CoUe&or. For many years I found rest after a hard day's work in Wall Street, by pending an hour or two on my way home in one or more places where I could look over recently purchased books. In those days (Mr. Sabin's shop in Nassau Street was the favorite resort of book-coUeStors, and one could meet several of them there nearly every afternoon. The arrival of a box from London, containing new importations of books, was always an occasion of interest, and usually gave rise to keen competition for the privilege of making the first sele^ions. Ovir. Sabin was an enthusiastic student of Americana, and I was soon instilled with the same feeling. My first efforts were not directed to the purchase of rarities so much as to early local histories of towns, accounts of Indian fights, and other incidents of Special interest. But it is natural to work back to first principles, and so I found myself striving more and more every year to secure the original sources of our knowledge of the dis- covery and early history of the country. This made me more or less familiar with the works issued in the early part of the sixteenth century and the latter part of the fifteenth. Then I became impressed with the wonderful beauty of these volumes, and I began to study and collet Early Printed Books. The diversion of several of the finest libraries in England gave unexpected and most favor able opportunities to secure books of this description. It is not in the range of probability that collectors will ever again have such facilities in this dire&ion as were given by the sale of the Sunderland, Hamilton Palace, Beckford, Syston Park, and PVodbuU Libraries. They con- tained volumes of which bibliographers have written enthusias- tically for a hundred and fifty years, and which were generally supposed to be out of the reach of modern coUedors. I was fortunate enough to secure many of the more notable of these precidus volumes, and to crown fittingly my acquisition of them by the purchase of the most remarkable of aU printed books, as it is the first — the Gutenberg Bible. In sele^ing these examples of early typographical work I have always tried to get books which were not only beautiful and in fine condition but which were inherently valuable. Next to the Gutenberg Bible the oldest printed volume in the collection is the Catholicon of Balbus. It is the fourth book printed with a date (1460), and is the first lexicon or dictionary published. The " De Ofiiciis " of Cicero is remarkable as being the first classic printed and as exhibiting the first example of Greek characters in print, all previous passages having been written in. The col- lection contains three other First Editions of Cicero. There are to be found also the only known copy of the first printed Arithmetic, the First Editions of Apuleius, Aristotle, St. Augustine, Boccaccio, CcBsar, St. Chrysostom, Columbus, Cortes, Euclid, Euripides, Hesiod, Homer, Horace, Lactantius, Lascaris {the first book printed in Greek), Peter Martyr, Nepos, Petrarch, Pindar, Plato, Plautus, Pliny, Plutarch, Ptolemy, Seneca, Tacitus, Theocritus, Vespucius, and Virgil. It must be borne in mind that these volumes were printed direCtly from manuscripts and that they have, therefore, the same impor- tance, virtually, as the original classical codices. No matter what may be the estimation in which public opinion holds a classical education, such hooks as these will possess an attra^ion for intelligent men and women for all time. They represent the great leaders in Fiction, Poetry, Mathematics, Philosophy, Theology, History, and Travel, and they are the very foundation-stones of the literature of the cultivated world. The collection is strong in typographical rarities. It con- tains, in addition to those already named, the first three and the only books printed by John of Spira, the first printer of Venice ; the first book printed in Italy ; one by the first printers of Taris; one in which signatures were used for the first time; the first volume issued in octavo form ; the first hook printed by the stereotype process ; and many others of almost equal interest. Next in importance are the Americana. At the head of the list stands the unique copy of Columbus's Letter in Spanish to Luis de Sant Angel, which I believe to he the earliest printed report of Columbus' s first voyage. Then follow the two editions in Latin, one of which Harrisse claims to be the first of aU the Latin editions, while Major makes the same claim for the other. PVith them is to he found also the equally rare edition in German. After these come the Voyages of Vespucius and of Cortes, the Works of Peter Martyr, the Voyages ofNune^ Caheca de Vaca, of Laudonniere, Jacques Cartier, Oviedo, Hakluyt, De Bry, Champlain, Garcilassode la Vega, Captain John Smith and others. The rarest of the accounts of the settlements made in this country by the English and French during the seven- teenth century are also to he found in the coUe&ion. The copy of Eliot's Indian Bible, which is usually classed under Americana, is next in interest, perhaps, to Gutenberg's great work. Of the books printed in England, Caxton's edition of Higden's Polychronicon stands first. It came from a dealer who described it as the best of the six known perfect copies. Wynkyn de Worde is represented by the Vitas Patrum and The Seven Penitential Psalms. The rare and beautiful first English edition of The Ship of Fools is an example of Richard Pynson's skill, and Arnold's Chronicle of London, printed by Peter Treveris, compares favorably with it. Among the works of Shakespeare are to be found six of the Quarto editions, the four Folios, the Poems, and a copy of the Venus and Adonis of which only one other copy is known, and that, being in the British Museum, is beyond the reach of the coUe^or. There are also First Editions of Shirley, Massinger, Teele, Daniel, Ben Jonson, Milton, Burns, Keats, and Shelley. The last named volume has a personal feature of the greatest interest, which is not mentioned in the Catalogue. It is a presentation copy from Shelley to Mary WoUstonecraft Godwin, and contains more than a page of her writing, in which she inscribes her admiration and love of Shelley. Among the French books are included the illustrated works which were published in the latter part of the eighteenth century, and which are remarkable for grace of design and perfe^ion of execution. When the drawings of Eisen, Moreau, Monnet, Denon, Lebarbier, and others, were skillfully engraved on copper, then printed on fine paper, and the whole bound with that taste for which the French binders are proverbial, the result was a book which for artistic beauty has never been excelled. It is not improper to say that I have exercised fastidious care in the sele&ion of these volumes, and that they are in the finest possible condition. The study of Early Printed Books took me naturally to Manuscripts, and while I have not made any efforts to collet a great number, I have tried to secure representative examples of the English, French, and Italian schools. The Pembroke Book of Hours is not surpassed, probably, by any manuscript of English execution in any private coUe&ion in the world. The smaller manuscripts, while less important, are equally interest- ing as ^ecimens of the skill ofmediceval scribes and illumina- tors. It is instrudive to compare the French examples with the Books of Hours printed at Paris about the beginning of the sixteenth century. In some cases, only a careful examination will enable one to detect the differences between the written and the printed volumes. Mingled with the rarities above described will be found a goodly number of essays, histories, books of poetry, and works on political economy. IVithout laying claim to much know- ledge I can say truthfully that my acquaintance with my books has not been confined to their exteriors or to their typographical peculiarities. They have comforted me after many a weary day, and have stood often in the place of friends. I can hope nothing better for them and for their future owners than that they may receive as watchful care and give as much pleasure as while in my possession. 'B. I. New- York, January, 1 89 1 .

"The first arithmetic published, and apparently never seen by Dr. Peacock or by Professor De Morgan, who cites it only on the authority of writers on the subject who proba- bly had merely heard of its existence. The only bibliographer who appears to have been per- sonally acquainted with its existence was Federici, who describes the work in his 'Memorie Tre- ■vigiane ' (p. 73) and ascribes it to the press of Michiele Manzolo, one of the earliest of Treviso printers. As, however, the copy mentioned by Federici has since been lost, stolen, or mislaid, subsequent bibliographers have doubted or denied its existence and considered his statement as a blunder, more especially as in spite of the most diligent search by Brunet and other philobiblists, no copy could be discovered in the Biblioth&que Nationale, British Museum, Bodleian, or any other library, pubUc or private." The condition of the volume is generally good, with wide margins and untrimmed edges. But on some of the pages are manuscript figures which indicate that the boy of four hundred years ago "wrestled " with the problems just as his successors have done. It is not possible, however, to get a better copy, as this is, so far as known, UNIQUE.

It contains 373 leaves, which number is correct according to Panzer, Hain, and Brunet ; but Dibdin makes the copy he describes in " Biil. Spenceriana " to contain 375 leaves, evidently trusting to the pencil numbers to which he refers. The Capitals and Initials throughout the volume are painted in red and blue. This magnificent volume, which is attributed to the press of JO HN GUTENBERG, is regarded as the Fourth Book printed with a date ; and its extraordinary rarity and value have been mentioned by most BibUog- raphers. Its importance is largely due to the fact that it is the FIRST LEXICON or diction- ary ever published. The present copy is an exceedingly fine one; the leaves measure 16x11^ inches. It is sound and perfect in every leaf, and nearly as clean as if it had but just been issued from the press.

THE FIRST EDITION. ^0£f)tC PfPt: hundreds of illuminaUd capital letters, brilliantly colored and decorated, many of them heightened with gold. Two volumes folio. MENTZ : Joannes Gutenberg. [1450-1455 ?] In the original binding, thick oak boards covered with stamped calf, orna- mented brass comers and center-pieces, with bosses ; many leaves with uncut edges; measuring ii}4 by 15^ inches on the leaf. Without title pages, pagination, or signatures ; 641 leaves printed in double columns, 42 lines to a full column / the initials and rubrics in manuscript throughout. The first vol- ume contains 324 leaves (of which one is in facsimile) and ends with the Psalms s the second has 317 leaves (sixteen in facsimile). "The honor of producing the first and, as many think, the most perfect book, is now ascribed to Gutenberg alone. Fust not coming in for a share of the credit of the invention until after his famous lawsuit in 1455, when the Bible had been finished. We call it, therefore, the Gutenberg Bible, and have no sympathy for any French name given to it simply because a copy found in a Paris library had the honor of being described by a French bookseller." — H. Stevens (in Caxton Celebration Catalogue). It was known formerly as the " Mazarin Bible " from the fact that the earliest published description of it was based on a copy discovered by De Bure in the Mazarin Library. While it is impossible to fix with accuracy the date of the appearance of this first printed book, it is generally believed to have been published between 1450 and 1455. That it was not later than 1456 is shown by a MS. note which is in the copy in the National Library in Paris which states that it was " illuminated, bound and completed on the day of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary [Aug. 15], 1456, by Henricus Albrech, alicis Cremer," Vicar of the Collegiate Church of St. Stephen at Mayence. Some copies, which may be called a SECOND ISSUE, have 40 lines on each of the first eight pages, 41 on the ninth, and the rest 42. In the later issue the three red lines at the beginning are in type, and not in manuscript as in the 42-Une issue. In the first volume of this copy the beginning of the prologue to the Pentateuch (recto of 4th leaf), of the book of Genesis (recto of Sth leaf), and the title and finis (Incipit and Explicii) of each of the books, from Genesis to Ruth, inclusive, are rubricated in manuscript, not printed. The Gutenberg Bible, as Dibdin remarks in his description of Earl Spencer's copy, has been "justly praised for the strength and beauty of the paper, the exactness of the register, the luster of the ink, and the general splendor and magnitude of the volumes." In Asher's announcement, in 1873, the present copy is claimed to be the most beautiful of all known copies on paper. " It is not only the tallest and almost uncut copy, but it is of remarkable fresh- ness and purity, and though it has never been subjected to washing, is without the least stain. One sees by the costliness of Its binding and by the beauty of its painted initials, heightened with gold and decorated in arabesques, that it was intended for the library of some prince or great nobleman. This exceptional excellence brought it ill-fortune, for some barbarian or crazed amateur has taken from it a few leaves, doubtless for the sake of their capital letters." By extraordinary good luck some ancient paper was found like that on which the Bible was printed, and the missing leaves were reproduced by photolithographic facsimile with such success that it is not easy to distinguish them. The copy is so nearly uncut that many of the manuscript cues for the rubricator are preserved at the extreme upper margins of the leaves. 5 so ((Tatalogue of ^ooft^ anti £i^anu^cnptief. On the outer margins can be seen also the holes made by the pins by which the sheets were fastened while going through the press. It is, in other words, just as it came from the press and the hands of the great Inventor of Printing, and, so far as known, is in this respect UNIQUE. The only other copy of this Bible in the United States is in the Lenox Library ; that, however, is one of the "forty-line " edition above referred to, and generally regarded as later than this. A copy was sold in December, 1884, in London, for ^'3,900. It was much smaller than this copy, and was in modern binding. The compiler of a catalogue should guard against eulogistic description, but it is difficult to restrain one's enthusisism while contemplating these magnificent volumes. Gutenberg may have failed in his preliminary trials, but if so, he concealed the fact. So far as we know, he worked patiently until his standard was reached, and then gave to the world a work which as a first production must always be regarded as the most wonderful triumph of inventive genius known to history. Although nearly four and a half centuries have passed since its publication, this book still stands preeminent as a specimen of the printer's skill ; and there is no reason to believe that the coming centuries will produce anything which will deprive it of the position it now holds. 70 BIBLE, JOHN ELIOT'S TRANSLATION.

Bedford. This Translation of the Bible by John Eliot is scarcely inferior in interest to the noble work of Gutenberg above described. As an instance of learning, industry, piety and real it is unexcelled. The Old World was indebted to Gutenberg for its first printed Bible, and Eliot was the first to give it to the New World. Cotton Mather exclaimed, when he saw it, "Behold, ye Americans, the greatest honour that ever you were partakers of I This . . . is the only Bible that ever was printed in all America, from the very foundation of the World. ' ' Mr. Eliot was the pastor of Roxbury, Mass. , when he commenced, at the age of forty-two, the study of the Natick dialect, in which this work is printed. He began his task in 1650 and finished it after a labor of eight years. The printing of the Old Testament was commenced in 1660 and the work was completed in 1663. The printers required a week for each sheet, and there were about a hundred and fifty sheets. The names of the Books are retained as in the English versions, and such words as were unknown to the Indians are retained with an Indian termination, such as cherubim&A, etc. The longest word is, Mark i, 40 : Wutteppesittukqussunnoowehtunkquoh, signifying " kneeling down to him." This is one of the copies having the Dedication to King Charles, of which, according toTbomas{" ffist. of Printing"), Twenty Copies only were printed. It is absolutely perfect and in matchless condition. It is so nearly uncut that proof leaves are to be found at every few pages. 71 BIBLE, ELIOT'S INDIAN.— A Translation [by J. H.

The work is elegantly printed within ornamental woodcut borders, in imitation of the French "Boohs of Hours," and is remarkable as being the only English book of the kind. The borders contain scenes from the Old and New Testament, the ApocaljTJse, illustrations of the Cardinal Virtues, and the Dance of Death, which last contains specimens of the costumes of all ranks in the time of Elizabeth and James i.

In that Catalogue the well-known bookseller, Wm. Gowans, is quoted as saying: " The New-York Edition of Robert Bums, 1788, may so far be pronounced unique. No copy, with the exception of the one named [the present], has been seen by the most sharp hawk-eyed book hunter, or the keenest bibUographer, nor by any of the living generation so far as known." 126 BURNS.— POEMS | Chiefly in the | SCOTTISH DIALECT.

It is doubtful whether this or the New York Edition of the same date is the First American Edition of Bums's Poems. Probably they appeared at about the same time. Both are exceed- ingly rare, far more so than the Kilmarnock Edition. 127 BURNS (ROBERT).— An ADDRESS to the DEIL. With Explana- tory Notes.

Bound by Pratt in crimson crushed morocco, without tooling on the outside tut with ' ' doubU" in dark blue morocco, studded with single ornaments. Title surrounded by a border. Jacques Cartier was the discoverer of the mainland of Canada. He made his first voyage up the Gulf of St. Lawrence in the summer of 1534, and in the following year ascended the river as far as the present site of Montreal. A third voyage was made in 1540. Few histories of early voyages are as rare as those of Cartier's. The original account of the first voyage is lost, and the earliest version of it is preserved only in the Collection of Ramusio. From this, the present translation was made, which in turn was translated into French and printed at Rouen in 1598. Of the account of the second voyage but one copy is known, and that is in the British Museum. Of the third voyage no copy of the original French edition is known, but it appears in fragmentary form in the collections of Hakluyt and Purchas. This English translation of the second voyage is so rare that it was unknown to Herbert, and is not men- tioned by Brunet or Graesse. In addition to its rarity it has great intrinsic worth and must therefore always be regarded as one of the gems in a collection of Americana. The present copy is the only one which has been offered at public sale in this country, and but two others are knowm here. This is perfect and in excellent condition.

No feature of the American portion of this collection is more remarkable and rare than this series of Champlain's voyages. A similar set has not been offered at public or private sale in this country or in Europe in the present generation. The collector is fortunate if he secures any one of these volumes in good condition, and the possession of all together may well reward the search of a lifetime. 165 CHAPELAIN (JEAN).— LA | PUCELLE, | ou | LA FRANCE | DELiVRiE.

Furthermore, it is almost certain that so^ie one of the eight Latin and Spanish early editions already known would have imitated the folio had that been the original form. But as a matter of fact they are all quartos. On the other hand, it would be quite natiu-al for a printer who wished to reproduce a popular tract to take the easiest and cheapest style, and so he would print the four small leaves on two larger ones, folded once. These considerations seem to be natural and logical, but it is not claimed that they are conclusive. From the very nature of things the facts must always remain matters of conjecture, and dogmatic statements are unjustifiable. Both the folio and the quarto were offered to the owner of the latter at about the same price, and the present copy was bought, after a careful investigation of the merits of both, in the beUef that it was the earlier edition and more desirable in every respect. Nothing has since come to light to change that beUef. The weight of evidence indicates that it is a unique and genuine copy of the absolutely EARLIEST REPORT OF COLUMBUS'S GREAT DISCOVERY. The volume is perfect, and its condition is all that could be demanded. 197 COLUMBUS. THE LETTER IN LATIN TO GABRIEL SANCHEZ.

Translation : Letter from Christopher Colom : to whom our age oweth much : con- cerning the Islands of India beyond the Ganges recently discovered. In the search of which he was sent under the auspices and at the expense of the most invincible Sovereigns of Spain, Ferdinand and Isabella : addressed to the most noble lord Gabriel Sanchis, Treasurer of the same most serene monarchs : which the noble and learned man Leander de Cosco translated from the Spanish idiom into Latin, the third day of the calends of May, 1493. The year One of the Pontificate of Alexander VI. 4° ; bound in vellum. Pour unnumbered leaves, 33 lines to a full fage, printed throughout in Gothic Letter. Without place, date, or printer's name, but according to Major printed by Stephen Plannci at Rome, in 1493. No two authorities agree as to the priority of date of the early editions of Columbus's Letter in Latin. Mr. R. H. Major, of the British Museum, is the most recent bibliographer who has tried to solve the mystery, and his arguments are so logical and weighty that it seems impossible to controvert them. Mr. John Russell Bartlett, himself a high authority, agrees with Mr. Major, and places this edition first in his catalogue of the John Carter Brown Library. The reasons which influenced his action have caused the compiler of this catalogue to follow his example. The present is a most beautiful copy in every respect. It is from the Barlow Library.

Harrisse, who, previous to Major, had written the most fully concerning the Letters of Columbus, places this edition first. (" Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima," New York, 1866.) It was placed first, also, in the catalogue of the Barlow Library, at the sale of which it fetched $2900. It is exceedingly rare. Mr. Bartlett states that but four other copies of this edition are known. The present copy is perfect and in brilliant condition, excepting that a name has been written in ink on the margin of the first page. 199 COLUMBUS. je^n fcbbn btibfcb lefen von etlicben infjlen X>iz bo in fturtsen 3i?ten funben fsnb burcb be IRUnig von bifpania. unb Tagt v6 grofjen wunberlicben bingen bie in be Telbe infjlen fsnb.

As a record of the thrilling experiences of Capt. Cook, the first navigator to make a complete circuit of the world, these volumes must occupy an honorable and important place in every library.

" Old Plays will always be read by the curious, if it were only to discover the manners and behaviour of several ages and how they altered. For plays are exactly like portraits, drawn in the garb and fashion of the time when painted. You see one habit in the time of Charles I. ; another quite different from that, both for men and women, in Queen Elizabeth's time ; another imder Henry the Eighth different from both, and so backward all various.

It was an attempt to reproduce, for the commonalty in France, the 'Poor Man's Bible,' which formerly had, under the title of the Biblia Pauperum, such great popularity in Germany as a Block-book. There is reason to believe that no Block-book edition was ever printed in France, but the Woodcuts are here carefully copied and accompanied by an explanatory text in French.

But these brief histories tell their tales with a directness which leaves no room for doubt as to their trustworthiness. 403 HARCOVRT (ROBERT).— A \ RELATION | OF A VOYAGE | TO GVIANA.

Vnicomis. 8° ; elegantly printed in red and black within ornamental woodcut borders, on 103 leaves of pure vellum, with 19 fallpage woodcuts, and 34 of miniature siise, all the capitals rubricated and gilt , vellum wrapper, in wrinkled brown morocco case. This is an unusually beautiful and interesting specimen of the Parisian Horse, being in con- temporaneous binding and with all the engravings free from color. To find a copy in such perfect condition is a great rarity, inasmuch as the majority of the books of this class were colored by hand so as to make them resemble, as closely as possible, the manuscript missals of the time. Where this work was performed by skillfiil artists it added to the brilliant appearance of the volume. But as a rule the colorists were inferior, at this period, to the engravers, and the strong, spirited woodcuts, in their original state, will always present superior attractions to book-lovers. 470 ^tmt^ h lufaige be l^anjsf.

Old French red morocco extra, leather joints, silk linings, gUt edges, lettered " Manuscri." This, as an artistic monument, is equal to a fine illuminated MS. The borders and figures and painted ornaments are extremely elegant, and include some work in fine camaieu-rouge. Among the animal figures there is one of an elephant, and another of a bear walking off with a man and his spear over his shoulder. There are MS. additions, evidently made for the Cardinal, on the blank leaves of the book to supply certain offices not included in the original impression. This Breviary on vellum is not excelled by any of the magnificent productions of Jenson's press. The iUiuninations give it the appearance of one of the grand old Manuscript Breviaries. The binder was evidendy deceived by the resemblance when he stamped " Manuscri " on the back of the volume. 514 JOHNSON (EDWARD).— A I HISTORY | of | New-England. | From the English planting in the Yeere | 1628 untill the Yeere 1652. | De- claring the form of their Govenmient, | Civill, Military, and Ecclesiastique.

Folio ; bound in red morocco extra, sides and back richly gilt, gilt edges. From the Beckford Library. This volume commands attention as the First Edition of the first known book PRINTED in Italy. It marks the beginning, therefore, of an era in the history of typography second in importance only to that begun by the printing of the Gutenberg Bible. Taken all in all, the work of the Italian printers stands unequaled, and is likely to remain so. Two of Fust's workmen, Conrad Sweynheym and Arnold Pannartz, settled at the Mon- astery of Subiaco, thirteen miles from Rome, and published this Lactantius in 1465. It is printed with characters not before used in the printing press, and much like those found in the Italian manuscripts of the period. Unlike the angular Gothic types, they were rounded in form, and were the remote parents of those modem types which are to this day known among Catdosuc of ^taik^ anb lat^nuje^mjpt^. 165 printers as Roman. Here are found also the first passages of Greek printed with movable types. It is an extremely regular and fine piece of printing, especially remarkable as a first attempt in a new and foreign locality. It is illuminated throughout by hand, and has many capital letters heightened by gold leaf laid on after the manner of ancient manuscripts. It con- tains the Table and Errata, and is perfect in every respect. This is a marked instance of the pains taken by the early printers to select notable books for reproduction. Lactantius wrote in the early part of the fourth century, and ft'om the relig- ious character of his works and the finished elegance of his style he has been called the " Christian Cicero." 544 LACTANTIUS. — L.

All bibliographers agree in the opinion that this is one of the Rarest Books in existence. In the preface to the Aldine edition of 1494-9 C^^ first book printed at the celebrated Aldine press) it is stated that, even at that time, " NO COPIES of this edition could be pro- cured, AFTER THE MOST DILIGENT SEARCH." The famous Greek scholar. Dr. Charles Bumey, considered it " the most rare and valuable book in his collection." After the Doctor's death it was estimated at ;^6oo, and purchased at this sum by the authorities of the British Museum. Before the printing of this book, vacant spaces were usually left in books for the insertion of the Greek passages with a pen. Demetrius Cretensis, so called from being a native of Crete, was of very important service in the editing of the first Greek books. Besides this First Edition of Lascaeis, he assisted Demetrius Chalcondylas in the Editio Princeps of Homer, published at Florence, 1488. He was afterwards employed by Cardinal Ximines on the Complutensian Polyglot. The preface of Demetrius to this First Greek book is exceed- ingly curious, and is addressed " Jngenuis fiuditffifimis adole/cetibus." The type is of a medium size, resembling the manuscripts of those days, and has been followed in the first .lEsoP, the 6x&t Lexicon of Johannes Crastonus, and the Florentine Homer of 1488.

Sir Waiiam Talbot thinks " it is clear from this book, that the long-looked-for discovery of the Indian Sea does nearly approach ; and that Carolina presumes that the accomplishment of this glorious designe is reserved for her." Lederer, who was a German, traveled far into the interior of Virginia, and imagined that he had nearly reached the shores of the great South Sea. He made himself obnoxious to the people of Virginia, and sought refiige in Maryland, where he was well received by Sir William Talbot, who, " finding him a modest and ingeni- ous person and a pretty scholar," says, "I thought it common Justice to give him an occasion of vindicating himself from what I had heard of him ; which truly he did with so convincing reason and circumstance, as quite abolished those former impressions in me, and made me desire this account of his travels, which here you have faithfully rendered out of Latine from his owne writings, with an entire map of the Territory he traversed." — Preface. A copy at the Griswold sale in New York a few years since brought $315. This is an uncut copy of this very rare book. The map is in exceptionally good con- dition. 574 LE GRAND (J.

This num- ber consists of a volume of a collection of " Chansons et Motets" which was arranged for five, six, and eight voices in Latin, French, Italian, and Dutch, with the music. It is written on paper, and was executed for Henry II. of France and Diana of Poitiers. The date, 1552, is inserted in a large ornamental capital at folio 145. This volume, from the fineness of the design of its binding and the interest of its original ownership, is one of the most important examples of its kind that has ever been offered for sale. It brought at the sale of M. L&pold Double in 1863 five thousand two hundred and fifty francs. In addition to its acquired historical interest, the book is of considerable importance in itself in regard to the history of music, on account of its table of contents, which gives the names of various French composers of the sixteenth century, among whom will be found: Phil, de Wildre, Cresquillon, Ch. Chastelain, Ciprian de Rose, and Anthoine Gaily. The heraldic ".ex libris" of the celebrated bibliophile, M. Double, will be found on the front inside cover, where are the following MS. notes in his handwriting: " Voirla date de 1552, page 145, p. 97, hymne par Charles VIII., p. 75, 77, 82, 186 Clement Marot. p. 172, Diane d. Henri II., p. 187, Franfois I." The marvelously beautiful and original French binding, of a semi-Maioli, semi-Grolier style, was doubtless designed for King Henry II. by " Le Petit Bernard." The sides and back are painted and inlaid in colored enamels and leathers. Both sides are covered with green floriated, conventional Gothic ornaments and an intersecting design in black and white, the parallel lines of which are pointilU in the centers. The middle of the fore side has a large heraldic and allegorical design of circular shape, in the center of which is a shield of the royal arms of France, above which is a regal crown. Depending from the upper portion of the shield are a collar of "SS" and cockle-shells, fi-om which also hangs the jewel of the Order of St. Louis. Amid si\\er pointillS ornamentations are the monogram "H. D." interlaced, three silver half-moons, a large crescent silver moon, allusive to the chaste goddess Diana, and the 24* 1 84 Catalogue of ^tioW anb !S)[^ujera:^ti$. king's initial " H " twice repeated. On the other side, in the middle of a circle and upon a square scroll, is the word " Bassvs." The back is enameled in black and white, and tooled in gilt. The design is lozenge-shaped, chequered. The edges are as fine a specimen of gauffered work as can be found. It is a floriated and interlaced design, pointilU throughout. This binding is reproduced in Joseph Cundall's " BookHtidings, Ancient and Modem." It is there styled "Recueils de Chansons et Motetts, with the Arms and Monograms of Henry II. and Diana of Poitiers. Binding of the Middle of the XVI. Century," and is presented in that authority as a representative example of a "Diane de Poitiers reliure." The eminent bibliopegist writes: "Diank of Poitiers, the mistress of Henry II. of France, devoted much attention to the binding of her books ; perhaps those executed for her are the finest speci- mens ever produced ; probably they were designed by ' Le Petit Bernard ' (Bemhard Salomon of Lyons), who also made drawings for her jewels. They were usually engraved with a bow and crescent, sometimes with an arrow rising from a tomb with the motto ' Sola mint in. illo.' On the love offerings from the king an 'H' is worked in with a crown and fleur- de-lis. The practice of inscribing mottos on books was very usual. There is a beautiful book mentioned in Dibdin's 'Decameron,' which was published by Aldus. It is bound in fine Italian olive binding, with the device of a serpent entwining a ring and a motto, ' Scilicet es superis labor ■ est.' On many of Henry's own books are stamped and interwoven the initials ' H ' and ' D ' of . his own and mistress's names, with crescents, bows, quivers, and other symbols of the chase appropriate to a lady besiring the name of Diana. (Many of the ornaments on the pottery of Oiron known as Faience de Henri II. were evidently stamped with bookbinder's tools.) On some of his books the ' H ' is interwoven with a ' C," and in this case the latter initial is that of his vrife, Catherine de Medicis." 621 CHANT BOOK of the CATHOLIC CHURCH SERVICE, the Mass, etc., on Vellum, illuminated in gold and colors, rubricated, and with the score of the music. The tide-page with border in gold and colors, eighteen illuminated large initial letters, and numerous smaller capitals. The work is attributed to the fourteenth century.

Examples of chant books of this size WITH THE MUSICAL SCORE are excessively rare. The above consists of 265 leaves, or 530 pages, of which a few are stained and one or two slightly mended. It is a splendid example both of early binding and of paleography. 622 CICERO. M T C LELIVS SIVS DE AMICITIA .... M. T. C. CAT° MAIOR VEL DE Sene-^tYte M. T. C. Paradoxa.

S^c. XV. 4° (10 J^ X 8|i inches) ; limp vellum binding. This UNIQUE MANUSCRIPT was formerly in the collection of Cardinal Salviati. It is a most interesting example of fifteenth century Italian work, and is in fine condition except that the inner border of the title is mended and the first two leaves are slightly stained. St. Jerome, known also in biography as " Eusebius Hieronymus Sophronius," was born on the confines of Dalmatia, circa 331-345. He retired to the desert of Chalcis in 374, and became a priest at Antioch four years later. For three years afterward he lived at Constantinople in close intimacy with Gregory Nazianzus. In 382 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 the most learned and eloquent of the Latin Fathers." 625 i^ora ^eat^ Sl^ariae Cticgmtje^^ manuscript on vellum, of the fifteenth century, of French execution.

Written for William Herbert, First Earl of Pembroke, about 1440, and eraiched with 267 miniatures, besides hundreds of capital letters in gold and colors, the whole written on 195 leaves of Vellum. Folio; bound in boards covered with red velvet, silver clasps and bosses engraved with scriptural scenes after the manner of the Italian niello work. The volume really consists of three parts. At the beginning are inserted twenty leaves of vellum, on the first of which is emblazoned the coat-of-arms of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke. On the following leaf is a full-length portrait of the Earl, clad in silver armor. 1 88 Catalogue of ^oo{i$e anti 0^amiisecn^$(« kneeling at a frie-dieu before an altar. The fifteen additional leaves bound up at the end of the volume contain prayers in English, written in a bold Gothic character of the sixteenth century. These prayers were written by Queen Catherine Parr, whose sister was the first wife of William Herbert, Earl of Pembroke, and who may have written them specially for the use of her brother-in-law, the Earl. The margins of the Calendar contain many interesting entries, from which it is evident that the owner was a stout adherent of the Yorkists, as all the battles chronicled there are Lancastrian defeats. This would agree well with the ownership of the Earl of Pembroke, who was a devoted adherent of the cause of the Duke of York, and who was beheaded by the Lancastrians on the day following his defeat at Banbury in 1469. The Rose of York is prominent in the decoration. It is impossible to do justice to the merits of this volume by a verbal description. In the opinion of the most competent living authorities on such matters the whole work was executed in England. This adds greatly to its importance and value, owing to the rarity of English manuscripts of this period. The chirography is most exact, the ink is lustrous, the drawing of the miniatures is unusually correct, and the colors are of exceptional brilliancy. Its condition, moreover, is faultless. The binding alone has artistic merit sufficient to give the volume a high standing. Taken all in all, it is unquestionably the most beautiful and important manu- script of English execution outside oi the British Museum, It ranks in the same class with the Bedford and Grimani Missals and the Hours op Anne of Brittany. In beauty of work- manship, and in fact in everything except historical associations, it far excels the Missal of Charles VI. which sold for 76,000 francs ^t the sale of the Didot Collection. It is remarkable both for breadth of design and minuteness of finish. The large full-page painting on fol. 131 is of most admirable execution. It gives a conventional view of the city of Jerusalem, and portrays three great events in the Passion of our Lord. In the center we see, in a sort of open alcove, with steps leading up to it, Christ blindfolded and buffetted, the figures of his eight tormentors being drawn with great skill. On the right, in another chamber open to the street, is seen Pilate washing his hands ; six attendants stand around, and in the street are four other spectators, who look into the hall with an anxious expression that is depicted with marvelous skill. At the top of the page, on the greensward of a hill above the buildings, we see the Crucifixion ; a group of six figures stand around the cross, two of them being on horseback, and on the left St. John supports the Blessed Virgin, who is fainting. A soldier pierces our Lord in the left side vrith a spear. In the distance is indicated a com- pany of armed men. The whole is surrounded by a border composed of flowers and conven- tional figures. 63s HYMN AND LITANIES.— Hymne Nouvelle i I'honneur de Saint Louis, avec ses Maximes. Dedides et Presentees Au Roy. MAN- USCRIPT on Vellum, 32 pages, exquisitely written and illuminated. The manner in which the gold letters are formed is worthy of the best illuminators of the fifteenth century. They stand distinctly above the page, and are re- markably brilliant. The volume possesses great interest from the fact that it was made specially for, and was dedicated to, Louis XIV., and belonged to his library. It is perfect and in beautiful condition. 4° ; bouTid in old red morocco, with the arms of Louis XIV. in gold on the sides. 636 JUVENAL.— IvNii IvvenalisAqvinatis Satyrarvm.

The First Edition. The estimation in which Peter Martyr was held as an historian is shown by the fact that in a period of a hundred years his works were published in Spain, Italy, France, and England. An Italian by birth, he went in 1487 to the Court of Ferdinand and Isabella. He served in their armies during two campaigns, was ordained a priest afterward, and became tutor to their children. He was at one time an Ambassador, and later on a Privy Counsellor. Few men have had a wider range of occupation and experience. Soldier, school- master, ambassador, statesman, priest, historian, and a gossiping man of letters, he touched htunanity at nearly every point. He delighted in the society of great men and was on the most frank and intimate terms with them. To use an expression of his own, he fed with his learning the studious youth of Spain. He was the contemporary of Columbus and Vespucius, and was the first to publish a popular account of the results of their voyages and of the peculiarities of the natives of the New World. This, the first of his historical writings, contains only the first decade, which was republished, together with the second and third, at Alcala, in 1516. Its importance is equaled by its rarity. Harrisse cites but one copy in this country. This copy is from the Barlow Collection, and is the only one which has been offered at public sale in a generation. It is deserving, in every respect, of the regard of scholars and bibliophiles. As the colophon states, it was printed "with the greatest care." It contains the chart which is usually wanting, and which is remarkably correct for the period. Nothing equal to it appeared for a long time after. The volume is bound in a manner worthy of its contents, and it heads fittingly a list of Martyr's works which is equaled only by one other private collection in this country — that of John Carter Brown of Providence.

This copy is complete, although it does not contain the sixteen folios of the " Legationis Babylonicae " mentioned by Brunet as being bound with the Grenville copy. That they are not an essential part of the book as originally published is shown by the " Finis " at the end of the Third Decade and by the " Errata." The volume is exceedingly rare.

Of this, tlie First Edition of Pliny's Natural History, Dibdin writes : " There are few productions of ancient printing more interesting than the present one ; whether we consider the magnificence of its execution, the importance of the publication, or the interest excited by the printer of it." JOHNDE Spira published but three works, of which this is the second. It is a noble volume of about 700 pages, and according to the testimony of the printer's brother it was executed within the almost incredibly short time of three months. The same authority states that only one hundred copies were struck off. Blank spaces are left for the passages in Greek to be written in by hand, but in some places the Greek is printed in Roman letter, as in the following curious example, which will be found on the verso of the 79th leaf, BOOK Vlth, fifth line from the bottom : " Xaxilipcui carnece comai coe kpturae trata una ciezica." The present copy Is perfect and in unexceptionable condition. The capital letters throughout are put in by hand.

As those volumes have no illustrations, the later editions of them, containing the author's revisions, are generally regarded as the more desirable. They were selected carefully many years ago, and are in the finest possible condition. The impressions of the beautiful drawings of Ruskin and Turner are delicate and brilliant, and, that they may be seen to better advantage, the plates are mounted on guards. Notwithstanding the vagaries of Ruskin's later days, these volumes, written in his prime, will remain as a lasting proof of his wonderful genius. No other author of the century has written of nature and art with so much enthusiasm and intelligence, and at the same time illustrated his work with such exquisite drawings by his own hand. The binding is an excellent example of Zaehnsdorf s work in his best days, and the volumes are throughout in the finest possible condition. 865 RUTTENBER (E.

" In 1709, this town was honoured by a convention of contending independent divines, who were pleased with no constitution in church or state. This multitude of sectarians, after long debates, published a book, called, ' The Saybrook Platform,' containing the doctrines and rules of the churches in Connecticut. The only novelty in this system is, that Christ has delegated his ministerial, kingly, and prophetical power, one half to the people and the other half to the ministers. This proposition may be thought in Europe a very strange one ; but if it be recollected that the people in the province claimed all power in heaven and on earth, and that the ministers had no other ordination than what came from the people, it will appear that the ministers hereby gained from the people one half of their power. From this article origi- nated the practice of the right hand of fellowship at the ordination of a minister. No one can be a minister till he receives the right hand of the messenger who represents six deacons from six congregations. The conclusion of this reverend and venerable body is, ' The Bible is our rule.' " — See Peters's " General Hist, of Connecticut," Lond. 1781, 8°; pp. 142-3. " Previous to 1708, the ' Cambridge Platform' ha-d been the general plan of church fellowship and discipline in New England. Divers opinions had long existed as to the policy and efficacy of some of its provisions and omissions. In obedience to repeated requests and memorials, the Legislature, at their May session, 1708, passed an act requiring the ministers and churches of Connecticut to meet and form an ecclesiastical constitution. They accordingly assembled €iitalogue of 25oolisf anb a^u^criptsf. 253 at SaybTook, on the 9th day of September, 1708, and after due deliberation adopted the cele- brated ' Sayirook Platform,' together with a confession of faith. A uniform standard of faith and action being thus agreed upon, a period of harmony and good feeling followed, such as had not been before experienced for many years."— Hollister, "Hist, of Conn.," Vol. I /.468. 878 [SCHEDEL (HARTMANN).] lEgifttum buius ope* dsUbricro* nxcarum= cu flguris et ^magi= bus ab inicio mu6i: Colophon, on verso of the map which follows leaf ccxcix : gl D eft nunc ftu^iofe lector finis Ubri Cronicarum per ^^ vfam epitbomatis i breufarf j comptlati opus qOem preclarum. % a Ooctifllmo quoq? comparan5um.

The Earthquake is thus described by Prince in the Prefaee to his Sermons : " On the night after the Lord's Day, Octob. 29, about 40 Minutes paft X, in a calm & serene Hour, the Town of Boston was on a sudden extreamely surpriz'd with the most violent Shock of an Earthquake that has been known among us. It came on with a loud hollow Noise like the Roaring of a Great fired Chimney, but incomparably more fierce & terrible. In about half a minute the Earth began to heave and tremble. The Shock increasing, rose to the Hight in about a minute more, when the Moveables, Doors, Windows, Walls, especially in the upper Chambers, made a very fearful Clattering, and the Houses rock'd & crackl'd, as if they were all dissolving and falling to pieces. The people asleep were awakened with the greatest aston- ishment: many others affrighted run into the Streets for Safety. But the Shaking quickly abated, and in another half Minute intirely ceased. "The Noise & Shakes seem'd to come from the Northwestward, and to go off South- easterly ; and so the Houses seemed to reel. Some Damage was done to the more brittle sort of Moveables, and some Bricks on the Tops of some Chimneys fell ; but not an House was broken, nor a Creature hurt. At several times till Day-light, were heard some distant Rum- blings, and some fainter Shocks were felt: But since, the Earth has been quiet in Town, tho' the minds of many continue very greatly & justly affected." 33* 256 Catalogue of ^tk^ anb iir^ui6«cnjptj6^. 886 SEYMOUR (R.) — SEYMOUR'S SKETCHES.

Sm. 4° ; hound in red morocco, elaborately tooled, gilt edges, by Hayday. This, according to Lowndes and Brunet, is the First Edition. Formerly, another edi- tion, also printed in 1600, was regarded by commentators as the first. Mr. Halhwell, however, has proved, according to Brunet, that the present edition is not only the first but is more correct than the other. This copy is perfect and in fine condition. Its rarity requires no comment. 888 SHAKESPEARE (WILLIAM).— M.

An instance occurs on the recto of H2, where we read : " My foote usurpes my head." In some copies of the First Edition this line is found as here. But in others it is : "A foole usurps my bed." And the first folio has it thus : " My foole usurpes my body." 889 SHAKESPEARE (W^ILLIAM).— THE MOST | excellent | And Lamentable Tragedie, | of Romeo and | Ivliet. | As it has beene sundrie times publikely Acted, | by the Kings Maiesties Seruants | at the Globe. | Written by W.

This edition has no date. It seems probable, however, that it preceded or followed by a short time the edition of 1609. The title-pages have the same words. The fact that this ends on L4, and that of 1609 on M2, would seem to indicate that this is the earlier edition, as the ten- dency was to "augment" the volumes.

This RARE pamphlet contains some very unpleasant particulars of the scandalous conduct of the Rev. John Wesley during his apostolic mission in Savannah. According to these gentlemen, " He was indicted before a Grand Jury of Forty-Four Free-holders, and Thirteen Indictments were found against him ; one concerned Mr. Williamson and his Spouse." Mr. Wesley, it appears, undertook to "pour the leperous distilment" into the ear of this vir- tuous lady, to the effect that "her husband had no right to regulate her behaviour as to conversing -mahhim." However, as soon as the distinguished apostle heard that these indictments had been found against him, he did not tarry to discuss the question fiirther, but bolted out of the town in the night, fled to Charles-Town, and thence to England.

Although the book is really divided into two parts, the second of which contains the works of Hesiod, it was published as one volume and is perfect only when in that condition. A portion of the works both of Theocritus and Hesiod appeared in a volume which is generally believed to have been printed at Milan in 1493. It contained but eighteen of the eclogues, whereas this edition has thirty. This also has the entire works of Hesiod. There were two issues of this edition, of which the present copy belongs to the first. Dibdin gives a minute account of the variations. This copj is a beautiful specimen of printing, having large outline headbands and capitals, and extra wide margins. It is perfect and in excellent condition. 990 THEVET (F. ANDR^).

It contains 507 full-length figures engraved on wood, representing the costumes of men and women from all parts of the world. It has been mentioned usually as "Titian's book," owing, probably, to the fact that the author was a nephew of Titian, to whom were attributed the designs of the engravings.

A volume of EXTREME RARITY. Of the seven early editions known of the Cosco translation of this celebrated Letter of Columbus, only two bear a date. The first part of the work is simply a drama on the capture of Granada from the Moors by Ferdinand. THE VOYAGES OF AMERICUS VESPUCIUS. Four voyages are ascribed to Vespucius. The first two were made in 1497 and 1499, in behalf of the King of Spain. The third and fourth were undertaken in 1501 and 1503 for the King of Portugal. He was not the author of the accounts of his voyages which have been transmitted to us ; a fact which, probably, explains the existence of the many conflicting state- ments made in and concerning them. The preponderance of evidence seems to indicate that he landed on the shores of this continent a short time before the Cabots, and a year or more before Columbus. There is no proof that he is directly responsible for the giving of his name to the continent. The second and third voyages alone have been printed separately in the form of plaguettes, all vrithin the first eight years of the sixteenth century. Four of these are described in the numbers immediately foUovring. They are all of the greatest rarity. These copies are perfect and in beautiful condition. They came from the Barlow Collection. €^talo5ue of S^oofeief anb a^muaicrijptjef, 289 1019 VESPUCIUS (AMERICUS). miexkH^ Ue0p)iiti\i^ aatoentio mamSWrit. Sine loco aut anno, sed 150I.

Sm. 4° ; bound in brown crushed morocco, gilt ornament in center, gilt edges, by Hasdy- Mennil. Four leaves ; forty-five lines in a fuU page ; text in black letter ; no signature. Harrisse says, in a note accompanying the volume, that he found it in the library of S. Marco, in Venice, in 1867 ; that he had never seen a copy before ; that he bought it after much negotiation ; that the only other copies were in the Trivulzio Library in Milan and the Imperial Library of Vienna ; that it was not in the British Museum, and that it was not described in the B. A. V. But there is no doubt that it is described, nevertheless, in the B. A. v., No. 30. The description there given is copied by Harrisse from the " Serapeum " for January, 1861, and is exceedingly minute. It corresponds exactly with the collation of this volume, excepting that the title is printed in one line instead of two. A glance at the B. A. V. will be enough to convince any one that no attempt was made to copy the description line for line. It is, perhaps, more rare and valuable than any other of the series. 290 Catalogue of ^oofij^ anb ^^anu^em^tier* 1022 VESPUCIUS (AMERICUS). %\iimm^ Me^putm^ aiaurentio.

Vasco da Gama's first voyage, the voyage of Cabral, and Pasqualigi's account of Caspar Cortereal's first voyage are also found in this the first collection of voyages extant. The workwas republished in 1519 and 1521. The latter edition is said to have some additions.

The First Edition. The author of this volume was Waldsee-Muller, or as he chose to call himself, putting his name into Greek form, Hylacomylus. With him originated the idea of calling this continent America. The suggestion appears on the verso of the fifteenth leaf. As his book was very popular, his proposition soon became widely known and was favorably received. The book is as rare as it is important. This copy is perfect in every respect and is in beautifiil condition. B. A.

There are, in addition, 4 blank leaves. It is printed on vellum of fine quality, and has all the marks of care which the early Italian printers bestowed on notable books. The first page is decorated with a border of uncommon beauty, in which figures and ara- besque ornament are combined. The lower part of this page shows the effect of careless hand- ling. The introductory lines of the several poems are laid on in gold, and the initial letters are illuminated in gold and colors — all being perfectly fi-esh and brilliant. The pages measiu-e 13 X 954 inches, and the side margins are 3^ inches wide. Taking all things into consideration, this book should rank next in importance in this col- lection to the Gutenberg Bible. It is even more rare than that, there being only about seventeen copies known, including those on vellum and paper. It is not strange that Vindelin felt the pride shown in the colophon above quoted. To have printed the first edition of THE FIRST printed EPIC was no small honor. It preceded the first edition of Homer by eighteen years. These three books — the Gutenberg Bible, the Virgil of 1470, and the Homer of 1488 — will command forever the admiration and respect of educated people as the worthy objects of the highest form of skillfiil and conscientious typographical work. 1029 VIRGIL. — ViRGiLii Opera. Venice: Aldtis, 1501. In Fine : VENETIIS EX AEDIBVS AL DI ROMANI MENSE APRILI. M.DI. 8° ; bound in dark green morocco, fillets on sides, gilt edges, by C. Kalthoeber. This volume is remarkable as being the first printed with that Italic type which Aldus and his successors used so generally, and which is still knovm by that name. It was engraved by Frangois de Bologne, as Is shown by these verses at the foot of the Preface : IN GRAMMATOGLYPTAE LAVDEM. Qui graiis dedit Aldus, en Latinis Dat nunc grammata scalpta daedaleis Francisci manibus Bononiensis. This volume is Excessively Rare. It is conspicuous by its absence fi-om Lord Spencer's Library, and neither Mr. Beckford nor the Duke of Hamilton could obtain a copy even in tolerable condition. The present copy is perfect and complete. 38 294 ua Britannia. \ Publiflied by au- thoritie of his Maieilies | Counfell of Virginea. \ London : | Imprinted by Felix Kyngston for William Welby, dwelling at the | figne of the Swan in Pauls Churchyard. 1612., Sm. 4° ; A-G in fours, Ai blank', 27 unnumbered leaves.

It is a complete and unusu- ally fine copy of a work which is valued highly for its original information. Besides Hudson, no navigator except De Vries published a narrative of his voyages to New Netheriand during the Dutch possession. The Hon. Henry C. Murphy translated that portion of the work which re- lates to America, and in his introduction says of De Vries: " His narratives, where he speaks from personal knowledge, areentitled to the highest credit, for not only do they bear internal evidence of truth, but they have been corroborated in many instances by other evidence, and by the records which we have; and being his daily observa- tions, taken down at the time, they have from this circumstance a value which no narrative formed from memory could possess. . . . His relation of the disgraceful and disastrous Indian war, in which he was an actor and friend of the Indians, is the only authentic one extant, of any completeness, except that of the government, and is, therefore, of great interest and value." 298 Catalogue of ^ooft^e^ anb iSK^anUjercc^i^, &. 1044 ^y^ ALKER (ALEXANDER).— BEAUTY; Illustrated chiefly by an Analysis and Classification of BEAUTY in WOMEN.

This copy is from the Dent and Perkins libraries, and is said to be the best of the six perfect copies known. The estimation in which it is held may be inferred from the fact that Lord Charlemonfs copy, wanting two leaves, fetched in 1865 ;^477 iS-f- 3i6 3lltitientia» 1112 JUSTINIAN.— JUSTINIANI INSTITUTIONES cum Glossa.

This copy of the Institutes of Justinian, printed on vellum by Jacob Rubeis, is said to be UNIQUE. It is the Pinelli copy, which fetched £j,6 in 1789.

The first page of the text is illuminated with a brilliant miniature, and the capital letters are of the highest order of merit. 1 1 13 PLUTARCH PLUTARCHI VIT^ PARALLELS, a diversis InTERPRETIBUS LaTINjE FACTiE, A J. A. CAMPANO COLLECTiE ET EDITiE. RoM^, Udalricus Gallus. S. A. sed circa 1470. Two vols, folio ; bound in russia by Roger Payne. The First Edition of Plutarch's Lives. The appearance of the volumes would indicate that the printer appreciated the value of the material intrusted to him, and that he strove to put it into an appropriate form. Ulric Han was one of the first to establish a press at Rome, and he issued many notable works ; but the Lives of Plutarch are not excelled by any of them in beauty and grandeur. In the case of the present volimies the labor of the printer was fittingly supplemented by that of the illuminator. The first page of each volume is ornamented with a beautiful border and initial letter in gold and colors. Taken all in all they are superb books and worthy of admiration in every respect. ' 1 1 14 [SHAKESPEARE (WILLIAM).]— VENVS and ADONIS. ViUa miretur vulgus, mihi flaunus Apollo Pocula Castalia plena ministret aqua. , London : Printed by I. H. and are to be sold by Francis CotUes in the Old Baily without Newgate, 1636. 18° ; blue morocco extra, gilt edges, by Bedford. One of tv^o perfect copies known, the other being in the British Museum. The latter copy, although described by Lowndes as a fine one, is declared by Mr. Justin Winsor in his Bibliography to be badly stained and soiled and to have a few leaves mended. The present copy, with the exception of a slight mend on the title-page, MAY BE described as absolutely perfect. There are, from the date of the first edition in 1593 to 1636 inclusive, of all the editions combined, but thirty perfect examples. Most of these are in libraries from which they can never be sold, so that the collector can have little hope of ever procuring a copy. Aside from its rarity, this book has an additional interest from the fact that it is supposed to be the first printed publication from Shakespeare's pen, as is indicated in the dedication which is as follows : "To the Right Honourable, Henry Wriothesly Earle of Sovthampton and Baron of Tich- field. Right Honourable, I know not how I shall offend in dedicating my unpolishd lines to your Lordship, nor how the world will censure me for chusing so strong a prop to support so weake a burthen ; onely if your Honour seeme but pleased, I account my selfe highly praised, and ClMi'ttta pars ^£cf)Otitbpl( tape a pfalmcttril Oeuoti tc\y-M>aye f> (aiite p bcgj^tinrtlj-Beati tnmaculati K.iltiOUiljaij p ri)alf IjauE eftuOpco allc ti)v l;fe to DtiDciaonOc ^ fame pfalmc . 3 bi'Icuc mtafutlp p f ft)olDctt not ttiociflatiDe «.|02 w if is not a MiCe/buat conftf nctb of tlje la<> Kbc of goO/o2 fome tomafiatmcnt of f [amt/02 ttojow tnc;'tpng to fctuent Dc uocoo-flno tljEtfoiE it 16 not neccffacve to oemaiioc ne ctiqujie fo tnanp bohcn :foi -^baU ptioiigb of tijc pCaiiltct all ti))> Iffc • 30 Vbbicbc ft (jjalt fptiOe fo: otif pattvc tl)t gofpcllj's g pjopljf cpcs/ g otbrc hohes Dj>ucrfE .
