Mag., New York, or care of Leonard & Co., Boston. LEONARD & CO., AUCTIONEERS. In announcing the Sale of the present Important and Valuable Collection of Books, the subscribers are desirous of directing attention to its general character and condition. The proprietor, Zelotes Hosmer, Esq., is well known to Collectors of Early English Literature, and to them the announcement of his name, in connection with the sale, will be sufficient to insure a careful examination of the catalogue; *but to general purchasers, we wish to point out some of the works, as well as the character and condition of the whole collection. Mr. Hosmer has, during many years, devoted the spare hours from his business, to the formation, and enlargement of his very Choice Library, and although he has not made what may be called a large or extensive collection, he has been able to secure a great many very Rare Books, of many of which, duplicates cannot be found in this country; together with choice editions, and fine copies of Valuable Works; a large portion having been purchased through the agency of those careful and experienced bookbuyers, the late Messrs. William Pickering and Thomas Rodd, and after their decease, the present Mr. Thomas Boone, of London; he has thus been able to obtain fine, clean, and perfect copies, carefully collated, often with extra leaves, portraits or plates, many of them as fresh as when originally published. The special aim of the proprietor has not been directed to secure merely rare books, but rather those of increasing interest, as well as permanent value, and such as lead, and illustrate the literature of the period, generally of the times of Elizabeth, James, and Charles I. Many of the works it would be difficult if even possible, to purchase during a lifetime, and still more so to American collectors: an instance is cited in Collins' " Penitent Pilgrim," which had not appeared in any English Sale Catalogue for upwards of twenty years. In addition to the Scarce Books, his desire has been, as opportunity offered, to secure fine editions, or choice copies of Standard English Authors; many of which are on large paper, of which only a small number were printed, and the cost of them proportionably greater; as instances, we call attention to the fine, uncut, large paper copies of the well known " Oxford Classics," the various Bibliographical Works of Dibdin, Ames, and others. The Books are nearly all, without exception, in the finest possible condition, and generally in elegant and expensive bindings, by the best known workmen, and the works collated and perfect. After saying thus much on the character and condition of the Collection, we proceed to specify some of the works, naming some of those authors rarely found in Sales Catalogues in this country, among them, Brathwait, Breton, Chapman, Davies, Decker, Greene, Gascoigne, Hall, Heywood, Jordan, Lilly, Nashe, Rowland, Stanley Quarles, Wither, and others. iv. Or, RARE BOOKS. The Paradise of Dainty Devises; Brant's Ship of Fools; Bochas' Fall of Princes; Heywood's The Spider and the Flie; Gascoigne's Poesies; Allot's England's Parnassus; Nash's Have with'you to Saffron-Walden; Puttenham's English Poesy; Gower's De Confessione Amantis; Sir Thomas More's Works; DrayLon's Poly-Olbion; Kendall's Fl1wers of Epigrams; Godfrey of Bulloigne; Davies' Microcosmos; Decker's English Villanies; Fletcher's Purple Island, and Locusta; Heywood's Works; Hall's Virgidemiarum; Googe's Zodiake; Wickliffe's Wicket; Farlie's Lychnocausia; Chapman's Shadow of Night; Taylor, the Water Poet's Works; Northbrooke's Treatise on Dicing, Dancing, Vaine Playes, etc.; Pierce Plowman; Weever's Plantagenet's Tragical Story; Rowland's Hell Broke Loose; and others equally, or even more rare, than those enumerated. THE OLD ENGLISHa CHRONICLES of Fabyan, Hall, Grafton, and Holinshed. A Noble set of Dibdin, Wood's Athena and Fasti, Dibdin's Ames, all large paper copies, the various bibliographical works of Dibdin, Sir S. E. Brydges, Pettigrew, and a large number of Sale Catalogues of well known and celebrated collections, sold during the past sixty years, with marked prices, aud in many instances purchaser's names; of great service to collectors and indispensable to public libraries, and librarians, as showing the variations, as well as gradual increase in rarity and price of many scarce works during that period. THE VALUABLE ANTIQUARIAN WORKS of Gough, Grose, Strutt, Weever, Fosbroke, Montfaucon, Visconti, Inghirami, many superbly and profusely illustrated; with others more properly in the department of the Fine Arts, including Lodge's Portraits, Herculaneum et Pompeii, Musee Napoleon, Gallerie des Peintres, Heroologia Anglia, Neale's Seats of the Nobility; Principes Hollandire et WestfrisiTe; Monumenti Etruschi, and others. FIRST, EARLY AND RARE EDITIONS, of the Works of Chaucer, Spenser, Milton, Butler, Drummond, Drayton, Davenant, Donne, Herrick, Jonson, Sidney, Sterling, and others. IN THE COLLECTION may be noticed several rare editions and fine copies of the Greek and Latin Classics, generally from the Aldine, Elzevir, and Junta Presses. Others from the presses of Gutenberg, Sweynheym & Par nartz, Jenson, Pynson, and Wynkyn de Worde. OF STANDARD AUTHORS, although there are many fine editions, large paper copies, etc., (as witness, the copy of Dryden,) it is not deemed necessary to refer to them, as the' above transcript from the catalogue, will sufficiently point out the character of the whole collection, which is believed to be one of the most select and valuable ever offered to public competition in this country. In now submitting the catalogue, we have only to say, that every care has been taken to give as full a description of the various works from the title as was consistent with the size and purpose of a sale catalogue; the condition of the works, has been always carefully noted, so that parties who many send orders to purchase through agents, may not be disappointed on receipt of their books. Of course, errors as to dates, etc., mlay have been overlooked in correcting for the press, or in transcribing for the catalogue, but nothing material is believed to exist, and the whole is now respectfully submitted by LEONARD, & Co., AUCTIONEERS.

PRINCE HENRIE'S OBSEQUIES, or Mournefvl Elegies Vpon his Death, a Supposed Inter-locution betweene the Ghost of Prince Henrie, and-Greate Britaine. First edition, with wood engraving of the hearse, 4to. green mor. gilt, botund by Jlurton. London, 1612 Sold in Townley's Sale, for ~4.16. Wither was born 1588. In 1613, he published his satire on the manners of the times, " Abuses Stript and Whipt." For some things in which he was committed to prison; while there, he published his " Satyre to the King," 1614, which is supposed to have procured his release. He served in the army under Charles I.; afterwards as Major, in the Parliamentary Army; was made Major-General by Cromwell; at the Restoration he was imprisoned, and had to disgorge his spoils; he regained his liberty, and died in 1667. The following extracts are, perhaps, as fair an estimate of Wither and his works, as can be had in the same space: " There is in him a true poetic genius, a quick and teeming invention, a natural love of truth and simplicity, which has put life and freshne, s into all he has written; both in his verse and prose, his English is rarely without the charm of ease and clearness, as well as idiomatic vigor." With regard to his works, they are also curious, as illustrating fully, the manners of the time. Of his poetry Ellis says, " that playful fancy, pure taste, and artless delicacy of sentiment which distinguishes the poetry of his early youth;" and Hallam says, "I think there is hardly anything in our lyric poetry of this period, equal to Wither's lines on his Muse, published by Ellis." This catalogue contains a large number of the original tracts, more, probably, than can be found in any collection in this country, public or private; they are all scarce, many extremely so. 1115 - ABvsEs STRIPT AND WV HIPT, or Satirical Essayes, Diuided into two Bookes, with Epistle Dedicatorie, Preface and Epigrams.

He calls the present poem an " Apology for past errors." It is asserted by Dalrymple, that this last defence obtained his release. 1118 THE SHEPHEARD'S HUNTING. Small 8vo. mor. gilt.

" The volume, or edition, probably ended here, as up to this all the separate works have the same date, 1622; this vol. however, contains -.Wither's Motto, 1621, (one of his rarest,) with an engraved title; Exercises upon the First Psalms, in Prose and Verse, 1620; The Hymnes and Songs of the Church, by the Assignes of G.
