It is presumed that the intelligent and discriminating purchasers will prefer the books to their money. Both parties may be thus equally benefited by the transaction. Hence an apology here for the seller would be as much out of place as one for the buyer. But this Library is so peculiar and so off the ordinary that some explanation seems desirable for the information of the buyers. The same explanation it is hoped may promote the interest of the sellers, the sale thus being made to realize Adam Smith's idea of fair trade, a good bargain for both parties. The Catalogue is intended to be an alphabetical commonsense one, according to the well settled rules of bibliography, but many exceptions have been made to adapt it to circumstances and the convenience of sale by auction. Many lots are misplaced in consequence of the books coming in too late, and others to avoid as far as possible duplicates being sold the same day. The titles, especially those in foreign languages, were written by several hands, and at various times, with more or less fulness. The editor, therefore, not having, in most cases, the books before him to refer to, has had some difficulty in harmonizing and correcting the titles. No one can know better than himself the imperfections and shortcomings of this Catalogue, but his experience has taught him iv Explanatory that it is better to let the generous reader have the pleasure of finding out the mistakes for himself rather than attempt to indicate and apologize for them. Let him that is free from errata in his own life point them out and crow. The writer will reciprocate on opportunity. No man ever yet, he thinks, printed a catalogue perfect in the eyes of others. The editor has printed enough of them to cause his youthful pride of accuracy to be completely taken out of him, and he is always willing to help take it out of others by encouraging them in the same laudable labors. It has become a custom in this enlightened country to emphasize, at the expense of the seller, the importance of rare and valuable books by printing very long titles and filling out the pages with leads and blank spaces. The editor has ventured to depart somewhat from this custom, by endeavoring in most cases to render the titles short and concise, and then lead out the pages with notes in small type. He has done this for several reasons. First, by printing in two hundred and fifty pages what would otherwise occupy five hundred, the expense is less, which to a frugal mind is equivalent to virtue. Second, the Catalogue to his eye being more solid and compact presents a comelier appearance. Virtue to all complexions giveth grace, But Virtue graced is by a good face. Third, having in the course of many years of bibliographical study and research picked up various isolated grains of knowledge respecting the early history, geography, and bibliography of this Western Hemisphere which he has not found it convenient hitherto to book in appropriate places, the writer has thought it well to pigeon-hole the facts here by inserting notes short and long in the Catalogue. That he may not be guilty any longer of the indiscretion of planting his corn where the crows will pull it up, as heretofore, he has caused to be printed on the back of the title Uncle Samuel's usual notice to the crows. To the intelligent collector whose object is to fill his head, this padding of small type will, it is hoped, be of Explanatory v no offence. The loud and indifferent collector whose noble object is to fill his shelves will doubtless readily pardon and skip this minion leading. Fourth, and the previous reasons but lead up to this, because a very considerable proportion of the books described in this volume belonged to the library of 1tis late honored father, the editor has thought by rendering it a trifle more than an ordinary sale catalogue, he might thereby erect an appropriate and affectionate memorial to one whose memory to him is dearer than can well be expressed on cold marble. He has aimed. therefore, to achieve for his parent a pious monument that, in warm and comfortable libraries, long after his books have been dispersed and the sale forgotten, may be referred to by intelligent bibliographers of American history, and be consulted by antiquaries with interest and respect. This Catalogue therefore has been made, after the manner of the old Vermont Farmer of Barnet, to stand square on its own taps, with a fashion of its own, full of odd titles, quaint conceits, originality, personal anecdote, disjointed historical connections, and general intelligence. Those who knew the mirth-loving, pains-taking Founder and first President of the Vermont Historical and Antiquarian Society, it is hoped, will recognize the effigies; those who did not are asked to take it on trust, calling to mind that all outside of the ordinary sale catalogue is intended as a filial memorial STEPHANI ET AMICORUM. HENRY STEVENS, Senior, was born at Barnet, Vermont, on the 13th day of December, 1791, and died on the old homestead, on the 30th of July, 1867, at the age of seventy-five, leaving his house full of books and historical manuscripts, the delight of his youth, the companions of his manhood, and the solace of his old age. His father was Enos Stevens, who from the age of twelve to fifteen was three years a captive among the St Francis Indians of Canada, was one of the original proprietors and first settlers of Barnet under a New Hampshire Grant, was married at the age of fifty and enriched his State vi Explanatory with ten Green Mountain Boys and Girls. The father of Enos was Capt. Phineas Stevens, born at Sudbury, Massachusetts, in 1707, served his country in the Indian Wars, and in April 1747 defended successfully' Fort No Four' on Connecticut River against an attack of a large body of French and Indians, for which gallant action he was complimented with a sword by Admiral Sir Charles Knowles, whose fleet was then in Boston Harbor, the place thenceforward being called Charlestown, after Sir Charles. He was sent to Canada in 1752, by the Government of Massachusetts Bay, to redeem captives. Not finding enough of them for his money, and meeting with a New Hampshire young man named John Stark, he ventured to buy him on his own account of the Indians by exchanging a Shetland pony for which he paid 515 livres, and so restored to his friends the future hero of Bennington. Phineas was the son of Joseph, who was the son of Cyprian, who was the son of Cyprian senior,, who was the son of Thomas of London, a supporter and friend of the Massachusetts Colony, who was the son of Thomas Stevens of Devonshire, one of the assignees of Sir Walter Raleigh of his Patent of Virginia, of March 1585. To return, Henry and the late Thaddeus Stevens, born within seven miles of each other, were chums in boyhood at Peacham Academy, and warm friends through life. Leaving the Academy at the age of twelve with only a taste of books, and, as he expressed it, graduating at Nature's University, he became a self-taught man. The eldest of ten children, he became their guardian and educator. The father of a large family, he sought only to provide his children with education, leaving them to hoe their own rows. He was a farmer, an inn-keeper, a mill-owner, a landlord, and the squire by courtesy of Stevens Village. An antiquarian and a book collector, his house was the resort of the intelligent. He was a liberal and public-spirited citizen, a disinterested politician, an impartial justice, an industrious representative in the State Legislature, an obliging postmaster, a promoter of agriculture, and an advocate of temperance. A kind neighbor, he pastured ExIplanatory vii the widow's cow, protected the fatherless, and annually supplemented his minister-tax with one load of hay and two bushels of white beans. He was a collector and reader of newspapers, a hoarder of pamphlets, and a gatherer of the unconsidered trifles of the day. He lectured on Temperance, Agriculture, and Education, and contended that Vermont should be manured all over with school-houses. He was a strong advocate of internal improvements and domestic manufactures. Through life he was a wool-grower and a protectionist, and his clothes were homespun. In knowledge of the statistics of his county few were his equals, and none was his superior in the history of his own State and the early Green Mountain Boys. He was a confidential agent of the Secretary of the Treasury at Washington, for collecting information respecting the New England manufactures, and the State of Vermont owes to him the collection and arrangement of her Historical Papers. Many of his books and historical pamphlets like those from Washington's library, found their way through the writer into the library of the British Museum. In February, 1857, some 2000 volumes of Vermont newspapers, 3000 tracts, and many of his valuable historical manuscripts were burnt with the State House at Montpelier, an irreparable loss to himself and to posterity. His widow now possesses about 250 large quarto and folio volumes of historical manuscripts relating to the New Hampshire Grants, to Vermont, and to the Controversy with New York, among which are the Ethan and Ira Allen papers, the papers of the first three Surveyors-general, miscellaneous correspondence, etc. All the rest of his library not otherwise appropriated is included in this Catalogue. In many volumes will be found his book-plate, comprising the arms of Vermont over his name and address, and these lines: - In Paradise, the tree But Heaven in mercy since Of knowledge was the pride; Does him who tastes forgive; By God's supreme decree, To know, is no offence; The man who eat - then died. Now, he who eats -shall live. Mr Stevens represented Barnet two years in the State viii Explanatory Legislature. He was no speaker, but generally managed to carry his point by force of native talent and ingenious surprise. At one time the Legislature was at a dead-lock in the appointment of some officer and neither party would yield. The opposition contended that the candidate was not equal to the place. The gentleman from Barnet gained the floor. "Mr Speaker," said he, " may I ask if this candidate is the man who unarmed recently hugged a bear to death." " He is." " Then, sir, I think he is not the man to flinch under any circumstances, - he shall have my vote," and amid roars of laughter the candidate was unanimously elected. Years after he generally attended the Legislature, a self-elected member of the Third House. For several years the Third House was regularly organized and held its daily sessions like the other two branches. The printed journals and proceeding are full of wit and humor. Mr Stevens was annually elected chairman of the Committee on Useless Information and Antiquarian Lower. With a mind well stored with wise saws and modern instances he frequently brought down the House by a knack Samson never dreamed of. His occasional reports are said to have drawn crowds and applause. In his historical mousings in garrets, among sequestered hen-coops and old barrels, he chanced to light upon about a bushel of old Continental and State money, redeemed but never properly cancelled. This he called his " Antiquarian Currency," and with it bought in his travels through the country vast numbers of old books, papers, tracts, etc. Educated in the good old school of unswerving integrity and no trowsers-pockets, he could not bear to see the rising generation standing arourd the stores, the taverns, and the railway stations, wearing whiskers, chewing tobacco, with hands in their breeches. The less hopeless of these youths he delighted to rescue. In his pocket-book the writer found the following:$20. BURLINGTON, June 2d, A. D. 1860. In consideration of Twenty Dollars of Antiquarian Money received of my friend Henry Stevens, I promise upon honor to keep my hands out of my trowsers-pockets for the space of two months, except in case of necessity. W. B. RIcH. Explanatory ix To the remnants of the library of such a man are added the remainders of the gatherings of years, from all parts of Europe and America, of one of his sons; the whole forming the unique collection brought together and described in this Catalogue. It is hardly fair, however, to call this compound a Library, since it is too miscellaneous, too disintegrated, and too incoherent. But it is just the collection by its dispersion to help fill important gaps in public and private libraries. It is in many respects unlike any other collection ever brought together in this country. The first impulse of a librarian or bibliographer reading the Catalogue, will most likely be to ask, if all this remain, what must have been the library before it was picked.? There is scarcely a book herein described that is not deserving of a place in any of our large public libraries; and yet most of the good standard every-day works, such as "' no library should be without," and which everybody wants, are not here. That is just it. The remainder of a picked library in this country is frequently found to be equivalent to a weeded library. The part left is often the best. The American bibliographers and librarians, with notable exceptions, are gregarious and are inclined to be too imitative, running in grooves. There is the Obadiah Rich groove, the TernauxCompans groove, and the Ander Schiffahrt groove. Books described by these worthies go off like hot cakes, and are found in dozens of libraries, public and private; but it is only the rare cognoscenti, the knowing ones of a thousand, who ferret out the unknown and undescribed books and secure them. One may safely assert that not one quarter of the titles of the books pertaining to the discovery, exploration, and development of our Continent, are recorded in these and other manuals. The very fact that a book of this kind is not so recorded is a sufficient reason why it, like folly, should be shot as it flies. One often hears librarians and book collectors talk of trash, and sees them, not unfrequently, decline as such the plums of history offered them, because, forsooth, they do not find them described in their own favorite manuals, or because x Explanatory they are translations, or written in a language they cannot read. Sirs, there is no such thing as trash in our historical literature, or in the historical literature of any language, so far as it relates to America. You may, if you please, apply that disparaging term to a funeral sermon on my grandmother, and I may, if I please, entertain a like opinion of the one on yours; yet both of these documents might very properly be preserved in the public libraries of a nation whose hopes and prospects are backed by its genealogy, its biography, and its history. It is amazing to see how light is the mental pabulum that best nourishes some minds, while others require nothing less hearty than the Novum Organon Baconis. No American probably ever wrote or owned a book so weak but there might be found another American with a mind just strong enough to thrive upon it. With these views the writer unhesitatingly declares his belief that this collection, well suited to varying tastes and capacities, is as nearly exempt from trash as any one probably ever offered by auction to the American public. The collection is miscellaneous and valuable; but the proprietors have no twinges of conscience about breaking it. The books are good ones and generally in good condition, many well bound and some even in extravagant bindings, or they are in a good state for binding —large, clean, and uncut. Some of the books, it is true, are not adapted to the capacities of all collectors, any more than all collectors are fitted to possess some of the books; but the books on an average are probably of as high a quality as the average of the collectors. The proprietors, therefore, on the whole, can with confidence recommend the library (ut vulgo) as one eminently well calculated for dispersion. Incomplete in itself, it will go far towards completing others, and filling up those inconvenient chinks which every earnest student of American history finds in our libraries, and will continue to find until librarians and committees turn over a new leaf, and give their attention to the collection of the true sources of American history, regardless of the language in which they are written, measuring their purchases rather by the capacities Explanatory xi of their purses and shelves than by their knowledge of the subjects. It is proverbial that the better and more conscientious of the American historians break down with their labors before they have collected their materials, or they are driven abroad to mouse out in foreign countries and foreign languages what ought to be at home at their service in the public libraries. It is requiring too much of our historians, besides their reference books and general tools, to oblige them to procure for themselves these thousand-and-one expensive out-of-the-way helps. They should belong to the public, and should be collected rather than the common every-day ones, if all cannot be had. When it is fairly comprehended by our curators, with their large funds and hungry alcoves, that probably more than five sixths of all the books pertaining to the discovery, exploration, and development of our young Hemisphere born since the Printing-Press, are in the languages of Spain, Portugal, Italy, Holland, and France, it is not unlikely that even committees who cannot read a word of these languages, or librarians who cannot catalogue the books, rather than other Motleys should be driven abroad in search of what ought to be found at home, will venture to buy such books on trust, on the new and growing principle that a public library should lead and not follow the wants of scholars. The narrow remark, hitherto often heard, that Dutch books are not read, and the Portuguese ones never called for, will probably not much longer be repeated by librarians who make any pretensions to the collection of materials of American history. One might as well attempt to write the history of New England without a knowledge of the English language, as a history of New York without the Dutch, or of Brazil without the Portuguese, of Mexico without the Spanish, or Canada without the French. A very considerable proportion of our earliest and best geographical books are in Latin and no other language. Many of our earliest maps are by German geographers; and in order to comprehend their lines and see as they saw, the modern historian must divest himself of his native shackles, xii Explanatory stand in their shoes, take the same inland views, and study under the same circumstances. He must read the same reports of the navigators, in the same languages, and he will most likely by this process see the blunders that very early confused the geographers, and have since puzzled the historians. Bring all these books, maps, and languages together, and the sun will rise. We shall then ascertain our historical bearings, and know whither and how far we have drifted these four hundred years. Our moorings to the apron-strings of the Old World will be cut, and the two hemispheres will revolve as loving companions and equals in the waltz of the spheres. It is difficult at this late day to attempt anything like a complete collection of the history and literature of the Old World, but it is unpardonable to neglect that of the New. The mere difficulty of language is not insurmountable. Did not an editor of the North American Review learn the Spanish language that he might write understandingly of the South American Republics? And would not Southey's History of Brazil have been a far better book had he given the same prominence to the numerous Dutch works on his subject that he did to the Portuguese? Some folks affect to despise translations, and divers editions. It is not so with the true historian and experienced researcher. A good translation is itself occasionally a useful comment on the original work, and moreover, the translator being often better up in the subject treated than the author himself, sometimes corrects many errors, and makes valuable additions. There are dozens of such examples recorded in this Catalogue, f. i. see N~ 878 Hearne, and N~ 1562 Pike. Again, other important books are known to us only through translations, as N~ 460, the Life of Columbus by his son. A comparison of the English and French editions of No 249, Bouquet's Account of the Expedition against the Ohio Indians, is a notable instance in favor of the translation, which contains a valuable Life of Bouquet, not in the original. The superiority of many Dutch editions over the original works is proverbial. The plates and maps are almost always far supe Explanatory xiii rior, and the translator is generally an expert. The French, English, German, Spanish, Swedish, and American books relating to America translated into Dutch are very numerous, and generally, in some respects, possess points superior to the originals, insomuch that, as far as the department of American history is concerned, all such books should be accessible somewhere in America. On the other hand, translations are important sometimes from their very badness or untrustworthiness, and should be preserved in our most important libraries as a means of tracing to their true source misstatements and falsehoods. How many misstatements are attributed to Herrera, which can be traced no nearer that author than Capt. John Stevens' English translation and abridgment, in six volumes? It is absolutely necessary to study this latter book to see where so many English and American authors have taken incorrect facts. So of many French and German translations which are the parents of errors sworn on to the original authors. Worse still, it is not unfrequently necessary for an historian to be acquainted with a book only to be certain that it is good for nothing. There are many such in this Catalogue, and some of them will very properly bring good prices too. They have good titles, and read well. Such a book is Peters' History of Connecticut, No 486, a book of not half the historical value of Knickerbocker's New York, and without any of its wit. Yet it has often been quoted by French and German authors as true history. The writer has before him a remarkable book of this good-for-nothing kind, of excessive rarity if not unique. It was reprinted some years ago at Rouen, in fifty copies, which reprint is now almost as rare as the original. The original will be sought, now that its title has got into catalogues, as ardently as if it had any historical value. The title is, "Relation du Voyage des Dames Religieuses Ursulines de Roiien, a la Nouvelle Orleans. Parties de France le 22. Bevrier 1727. & arrivez a la Louisienne le 23. Juillet de la meme annie. Les noms desquelles Dames Religieuses sont marquez dans ladite Relation. 100 pp. xiv Explanatory Small octavo. Chez Antoine le Prevost, Rouen, 1728." The editor, in behalf of his numerous notes, historical, biographical, explanatory, geographical, bibliographical, gossipy, and personal, desires it to be understood that they are to be taken at what they are worth, he having given them only where he had something to say, or some duty to perform either to himself or to the public, and that they are not designed to force up the prices of the particular lots to which they are attached; but are intended rather to shed a bibliographical flavor over the entire Catalogue. Most of the better and rarer lots of known and prime importance are recorded without comment, as Mather's Magnalia, Hazard's State Papers, etc., the titles sufficiently explaining themselves. On the other hand, many of the more elaborate notes, some of them not complimentary to the books, will cost far more in printing than the lots will sell for. Neither has he indulged in overmuch bibliographical quiddling about the mechanical and manufacturing points of the books, as to the quantity of the paper, the quality of the binding, the brilliancy of impressions, the crushed levant (whatever that new-fangled term may mean) and the number of copies of certain recent reprints, the inertia of which on shelves it is hard to overcome. It is not easy to convey any adequate idea of a large uncommon collection, like this, short of a patient reading of the entire Catalogue from end to end. The editor therefore has exercised his ingenuity to sweeten the labor, and thinks perhaps it may bait the attention of the indifferent reader to be informed that in the General Histories of North and South America there are many works of authors such as Acosta, Anglerius, Apollonius, Barcia, Barlaeus, Benzoni, Clavigero, Eden, Hazard, Herrera, Labat, Laet, Lafitau, Las Casas, Pe-,ter Martyr, De Solis, Garcilasso de la Vega, etc. In local and particular history of Colonies, States, cities, towns, villages and parishes, the titles are too many to specify here. In bibliography, the reader is invited to consult the Catalogue under Asher, Bibliotheca Chethamensis, Blades, British Museum, Catalogues, Collier, Fry, Harrisse, Macray's Explanatory xv Bodleian Library, Moule, Nutt, Quaritch, Rothelin, Stevens, Whiting, Boturini, and the notes under several of the Mexican titles. For rare and valuable Manuscripts, he is referred to Benedict Arnold's characteristic Autograph Letters from Ticonderoga, Fay's urgent letter to the Green Mountain Boys to reinforce General Gates against Burgoyne; Gorton's Answer to Morton's New Englands Memorial, the original Autograph MS written in 1669; Riccio's MS account of Hernandes' Natural History of New Spain; and the Original Book of Minutes of the Corporation for New England in London for thirty years, 1655-1685, under No 1399. For the Indian languages of America, see under Avila, Juan de la Anunciacion, Mexico, 1575; Paredes, Tapia Zenteno, Villegas, etc. Works pertaining to Canada, Acadia, and the British Provinces generally are numerous, some of which, as rare as they are important, may be seen under Canada, Champlain, Charlevoix, Cornutus, Denys, Examen, Hennepin, Joutel, LaHontan, LeBeau, LeClereq, LeJeune, Mackenzie, Memoires, Montcalm, Nova Scotia, Relation, Shea's Publications, Shirley, Tanner, Thevenot, Thevet, Tupper, and Vimont. Pertaining to New England, California, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, the Mississippi Valley, the Great West and North West, the works are numerous; and equally so on Mexico, and other parts of Spanish America, as Brazil, Paraguay, Peru, etc. The works pertaining to Washington, Franklin, and Hamilton, are well represented, and so are the departments of early geography and discovery, atlases, maps, the Indians, slavery, colonies, the old French War, the Stamp Act, the Revolution, tobacco, statistics, etc. Though last not least, there is a large number of works on the natural history of this Continent, not the least curious of which is No 2435, wherein the learned author endeavors to account for the introduction and rapid increase of Asses in the New World. He says nothing however about their being found among either bibliographers or book collectors. H. S.

Illustrados con eruditas Notas, y copiosas Indices. 3 vols, fine copy, vellum, Folio, Madrid, 1749 This highly important Collection of the earliest and best Spanish works on the Discovery and History of America, has now become exceedingly rare. The learned and enterprising editor died while the various works were passing through the press. They are all printed as separate and distinct works. Some of the parts were sold separately and others were not cared for. The labor of Collection was posthumous. It is therefore difficult to tell precisely how the several pieces should be arranged, or what constitutes an entirely complete set, as the printing occupied more than twenty years. This set is bound in three volumes, and contains, Vol. I. 1. The Life of Christopher Columbus by his son Ferdinand, retranslated into Spanish from the Italian of Alfonso de Ulloa, 128 pp.; 2. The Second, Third and Fourth Relations of Cortes (the first lost) 156 pp.; 3. Three Relations sent to Cortes by Alvarado and Godov, pp. 157-173. 4. Historical Summary of the Natural History of the Indies by Oviedo, 57 pp. and Bibliotheca Historica. 11 9 pp. Index; 5.

But the collection of these six documents in one volume has a peculiar appropriateness in exhibiting, in a striking manner, the grand features of the gigantic struggle of seven hundred years between the Christians and Moharnmedans. Mohammedanism withstood the Crusades and the subsequent wars, but it yielded after the fall of Granada, when Columbus gave a new world to Christendom, and the Portuguese went forth to explore and Christianize t.he East. 164 BELKNAP (Jeremy) THE HISTORY OF NEW HA3IPSHIRE. l3ap, 3 vols. 80 Boston, 1791-2 165 BELKNAP (J.)

It passed through many editions, but this is the first in which appears the Chapter De quatzor perm0aximis insulis in inc7ia extra orhbem nzper inventis [per Christophor2tm Coltunmbtum.] Anything printed prior to the first Decade of Peter AMartyr, in 1511 is of priceless value in early American History.

T. BUCrLE., bearing his No. 2,623, on his bookplate. On the fly-leaf is carefully pasted, in the handwriting of Buckle, an analysis of the volume, with a biographical sketch, beginning, "Charles Blount was born in 1654, and in 1693 shot himself in consequence of the absolute refusal of his late wife's sister to marry him.' Considerable interest attaches to this volume froin the fact that it has been charged upon ETItAN ALLEN that his VERMON.T BmIBLI, or Oracles (if Reason, printed at Bennington in 1788, was stolen in substance fiom Blount. It is not charged that Allen ever saw Blount's Oracles, but that among his fiiends he numbered one Thomas Young, a free-thinking, roving Englishman, who acted as verger to Blount's monuments, but had not the courage or power to book or publish his tenets. In Allen he found a willing disciple, ambitious of literary eminence. Blount believed in God, one and indivisible; in the authenticity of the Scriptures; and in a future state of rewards and punishments; but denied Original Sin. Allen figures up at about the same total. " Old Ethan once said with significant nod, T'hough I hold not with Jesus, I know there's a God; There's a devil also; you vill see him somne day, In a whirlwind of fire take Levi awav.:' Blount himself is accused of stealing and translating llis Oracles friom a French book called The Itypothesis of the Prce-Alctamites. Where the anonymous author stole his Oracles is not stated. In this volume is a great deal, both by Blount and his editor, about the right arid wrong of marrying a deceased wife's sister. He would, she wouldn't. So still arguilng from the same monitor within, and believing, that " I myself am King of 5Me," shot himself; and hence his friendly editor's defence of suicide. All these things and much more, the purchaser of this curious volume, if he finds the thread, may spin out by himself. 224 BLrOUNT (TEIOMIAS) Law Dictionar y. Second edition.

It has 97 streets, 36 lanes, 26 alleys, besides 18 courts, etc., most of them irregular. " and not very convenient." State Street, however, is very spacious, " and being on a line with Long A Wharf, where strangers usually land, exhibits a flattering idea of the town." The foreign and domestic trade of Boston is very considerable, "to support which there are three Banks,"' viz:'lhe Uniotz, discount day Tuesday; the Afassachusetts, discount day MIonday; and the U. S. Breanch, discount days Mondays and Thursdays. " l'The principal i20 Bibliotheca HEislorica. manufactures consist of rum, loaf sugar, beer, sail-cloth, cordage, wool and cotton cards, playing cards, pot and pearl ashes, paper hangings, lhats, plate, glass, tobacco, and chocolate. There are 30 distilleries, 2 breweries, 8 sugar-houses, and eleven ropewalks." The intercourse with the country is considerable, and increasing. Already "on the great road between thills and New Haven. distant 164 miles,' to say nothing of the considerable portions of the woild beyond, there are now 20 coaches and 100 horses employed. " Attempts hav e been made to change the government of the Town from its present form to that of a city; but this measure, not according with the Democratic spirit of the people, has as yet failed." By a MS. note of a former possessor we learn that " SaUIvrE, ADAMS, retailer, etc., Elliot Street, is Town Crier," with his office at 71 Newbury Street, while fiom page 136 we learn that Abraham Adams, leather-dresser ant[ breeches-maker, 72 Newbury Street is "]jbfoimero f Deer," while Daniel Bell and George Hamlin are the Nyogreeves. The names of the Fence Viewers, the Cidlet-s of'Di y Fish, the Surveyors of' Henip, and other Public Officers are all given on pp. 135-137. On pp. 146-8 is a full list of the stage coaches to and from the town, from which it is apparent that facilities of travel are not slight. Mail coaches for New York three times a week, through in three days and one hour. To Albany twice a week, through in three days and six hours.

A Political Novel. Scarce, calf. 8~ London, 1759 This William Stephens resided sixteen years in Georgia, and was the first Secretary of that Colony and keeper of its BLACI BOOiK, a list of the disreputable characters that were induced to become voluntary and involuntary emigrants on the pious founding of that Colony. Into this book were posted their antecedents, and their actions and behaviour for three years alter lauding in Georgia.'lThis Black Book still exists in England and contains a mine of valuable American genealogical materials. Few families in this country can boast of genealogical trees of harder wood; or can trace more minute historical and genealogical particulars of their English ance.tors than those who have descended friom some of the early emigrants to Georgia, whose names were so carefully recorded by William Stephens, the First Historian of that Colony. T'hese volumes with other earl I records of Georgia, filling 21 folio volunmes, were once, under pornise of secrecy, deposited with the writer forfour hours, and offered fbr ~500. [ie offered ~300 and lost the prize. When by death the obligation of secrecy was removed he invited the distinguished baronet who now possesses the collection, to breakfast, and communicated to him the circumstances. Within three days the collection changed hands, and now slumbers in the West of England. When it shall wake to the public use, this book and everything else pertaining to William Stephens will awaken to new interest. 353 CASTRO (Joio IDE, Fourth Vice Roy of india.)

A Discourse concernilg Episcopacy, pp. 41-127. 2 The Epistle of St. Ignatius to the Trallians, pp. 128-132. 3 Checkley (J.) The Speech of IMr. John Checkley upon his Tryal at Boston in New England, for publishing A Short ald fasie MAiethod with/ the Deists, &c. to which is added The Jury's Verdict, His Plea in Arrest of Judgment, and the Sentence of the Court. 2d edit. Lonclon, 1728 4. Checkley (J.) A Specimen of a True Dissenting Catechism upon Right TrueBlue Dissenting Principles, &c. Splendid copy, bound in one olurnme, in Bedford's best polished calf extra, gilt edges. Considerable interest attaches to this very rare boolk, in consequence of the alarm that it raised in New England, and the litigation that ensued. The book itself is Leslie's well known Short and Eltsie Mlethocl, but in reprinting it Checkley appended a Discourse concerning' Episcopacy, wherein he endeavors to prove that Dissenters not being Episcopally ordained, are no ministers, etc., and comments rather harshly upon the Church Courses of New England. This gave great offence and Checklevy was prosecuted in 1724 in the Inferior Court of Boston for publishing "a false and scandalous libel." I-le was convicted, but appealed to the Superior Court, where after a long speech in his own defence, the jury brought in a verdict against him. Chleckley then put in a " Plea in arrest of Judgment," which is given in extenso in his speech, but the Court sentenced him to pay ~50 to the king, and give security for his good behavior.'l'he whole story is told in tile above books, in Thomas's History of Printing, and in Stevens's Nuggets, No. 535. 418 CHESTERTON (Geo.

JOANA) TRODDEN DOWN STRENGTH, by the God of Strength, or, Mrs. Drake Revived, showing her strange and rare Case, great and manifold afflictions, for tenne years together. Related by her friend Hart On-hi. Vellum, short copy, some leaves clipped. 160 London, 1647 The interest to New Englanders of this curious book centres not in the main subject but in what is incidentally told of one of her spiritual advisers. Mrs. Drake was a half crazed religious enthusiast, whose spiritual health required constant wrestling with Satan and Doctors of Divinity. Possessed of property, her husband procured the Rev. Mr. Dod, who for three years disputed constantly with all her temptations and objections, " and was able to answer all," but being obliged to leave, he looked about for another helper. " In which interim, notice was given unto him of one Mr. HOOKER then at Cambridge, now in New England: A great Scholar, an acute Disputant, a strong learned, a wise modest man, every way rarely qualified; who being a Non-conformitan in judgment, not willing to trouble himselfe with Presentative Livings, was contented and persuaded by Mr. Dod to accept of that poore Living of 401. per annum; Mr. Drake her Husband being a worthy well-beloved Gentleman, and able to procure his liberty, and retaine him still in the same: This worthy man accepted of the place, having withall, his dyet and lodging at Esher Mr. Drake's house." p. 117. "' This man, Mr. Hooker being a good, acute, smart Preacher when he listed, besides that information Mr. Dod had given him, was so wise, first to try her spirit," etc. p. 119. " For Mr. Hooker being newly come from the University had a new answering methode (though the same things) wherewith shee was mervellously delighted," etc. p. 120. Mr. Hooker lived long in this family, till she imagined " her time on earth was but of small continuance. About which time it fell out, that Mr. Hooker also having acted his part with her, and done his best, to comfort, uphold and rectifie her spirit, so fitting her for mercy, as nothing remained to be done but a full gaile of spirituall winde to blow upon her, to bring forth her fruit, that by God's providence he was married unto her waiting-woman: After which both of thein having lived some time after with her, and he cal'd to be Lecturer at Chelmsford in Essex, they both left her," etc. These early glimpses of one of the most honored of our New England fathers, are refreshing. 597 DRAKE (Sir FRANCIS) and NORRIS (Sir JOHN) Warhafftige vnd griindtliche Historia desz Zugs, Welchen die Edele vnd Gestrenge Herrn, Norwitz vnd Drak (nach jhrer gliicklechen widerkunfft ausz den Occidentalischen Insulen) ausz vergiinstigung der Durchleuchtigsten vii Vnvberwindlichsten, Elisabeth, Konigin ausz Engelland, &c., in Portugal fiirgenommen haben: In welcher auszffihrlich angezeigt wirdt, was gemaldte Obersten von Tag zu Tag gehandelt, vnd wider den Fiendt erhalten haben. 30 pp. fine copy.

Illustrated with maps and copperplates. Divided into 2 volumes, of which the first contains 14 Parts [and the second twelve] the larger part inedited.] Very fine copy in vellum, with clasps, 2 vols. Oblong 40, Amsterdam, 1646 When the collectors, bibliographers, librarians and public libraries of this country shall turn their attention to the collection of the true sources of early American history, regardless of the language in which they are written, this magnificent collection of voyages, compiled by IsAAC COMIELIN of Amsterdam, will be better appreciated than it is now. A mere glance at the table of Contents will show its inestimable value to the historian and geographer of the East as well as the West. When it is comprehended that more than one half of these important voyages are here printed for the first time, even Committees who cannot read a word of the language in which they are printed, and Librarians who 52 Bibliotheca Historica. cannot catalogue the works, will venture to buy them on trust, on the new and growing principle that a public library should lead and not follow the demands of scholars. Isaac Commelin was born in Amsterdam in 1598, and died there in 1676. He was an author of some eminence, but this is his magnum opus, rivalling, if not exceeding in intrinsic value the better known and more famous collection of DEBRY and HuLsuns. These two volumes contain the following voyages:1 Voyages to the North in 1594-95, written by G. de Veer, with appendix containing the Voyage of Henry Hudson in 1609 2 Voyages of Cornelis de Houtman to the East Indies, 1595-1600 3 Voyage of Van Neck and Van Warwijck to the E.

The armies are now in such Position as renders it impracticable for the Enemy to avoid an Action, and it is a thing almost impossible for them to Retreat. Therefore if vou should now instantly give your assistance you may have it in your power to do yourselves and country a greater service. So favorable a prospect of Success in the Northern Department never before appeared. Pray exert yourselves this once, and the matter cannot detain you long." The Boys did exert themselves, nor were they long detained by Burgoyne. That distinguished General retired to Cambridge and the Boys returned to the mountains. 694 FEARON (B.)

FIRST EDITION, OF THE HIGHEST RARITY. Fine copy, in small 80 JUAN FLORES was one of the very earliest of the Romance writers of Spain, more than three quarters of a century before Cervantes. He seems to have exhausted his inventive powers with this Story. It first appeared in 1521, under the title of La Historia de Grisel y Mirabella. The sanme year it came out at Milan in Italian. In 1530 it reappeared in- French as Le jsugement Damour. In 1535 it came out under the new title of La Deplovrable fin definamete, appearing in many editions, and finally after having been translated into English and again in French, it appeared in this beautiful form in four languages, in four columns, side by side as the Hlistoria de Aurelio y de Ysabela. It has been printed in several editions Biblzotleca fi'storica. 61 and languages since, but none is comparable to this in rarity, beauty, or quaintness of language and orthography. That Shakespeare drew inspiration from this little book in his Tempest, has been many times asserted. The following is a sample of the English: " If me coinge (madame) geueth you plesour wherfore of itt hope you vengeace, and satisfaction of the foshippe that you beare me: this desiere I gretley to vnderstande: for if y had beane myndede to haue kepte me peace of mlanney of yowre workes, you haue now taken frome the goodnesse for to saie a grete parte of the secretes of the ladies, that be to me knowen," etc. 720 FORBES (A.)

I. num. 6. 8pp. 40 [At end] Reimpresso en Mexico, [1758?] This tract treats of Dr. Franklin's discovery of the use of the lightning rod. and the use of the electrical machine, as set forth in his publication in London in 1751, how the matter was immediately taken up in France and Spain, and subsequently in Mexico, particularly in Pueblo de los Angeles where there is usually much lightning. The writer differs from Franklin and other philosophers as to the form and shape of the lightning rods. Instead of being pointed or square, as discussed in the Roval Society of London, this writer thinks the form of a cross would better secure the desired protection. The Holy Cross always strikes certain terror into the malignant spirits of the clouds, so that if Franklin's steel points were arranged in the form of a cross they would become a more secure protection against the insults of the lightning! 743 FRANKLIN (Benj.)

WRITTEN BY HIMSELF. Clean copy on afoul subject, rough leaves, sewed. 8~ John iFenno, Philadelphia, 1797 " Written by himself," or this little book of 96 pages would most likely have been pronounced the greatest libel upon the greatest man New York ever produced. It has been claimed to the honor of his friends that they endeavored to suppress it. It was copyrighted, and never reprinted until recently, but scarce as it has become, it is now part of the literature of the land. The author writes on p. 5: " Merely because I retained an opinion once common to me and the most influencial of those who opposed me, That the public debt ought to befprovidedfor on the basis of the contract upon which it was created, I have been wickedly accused with wantonly increasing the public burthen many millions, in order to promote a stock-jobbing interest of myself and friends." Having been cleared of all these accusations by: Committees of Congress composed mainly of his most intelligent and active enemies, he was finally charged with "a connection with one James Reynolds for purposes of improper pecuniary speculation." To extricate himself from this jimfiscal corner Mr. Hamilton wrote this book. Clear himself he did, most assuredly, of the charge, but in doing so it has been thought by some that he sawed off a leg to cure a corn.'" My real crime," confesses the late Secretary not without a blush, " is an amorous connection with his [Reynolds] wife for a considerable time, with his privaty and connivance," and that was how he came to be the private banker of Mr. James Reynolds, the husband of Mrs. Reynolds, " from whose conversation it was quickly apparent that other than pecuniary consolation would be acceptable," p. 18.

Philes, New York, 1866 " NO LIBRARY IS COMPLETE WITHOUT IT." Some six or eight months after the publication of this Mlagnumn Opus in New York it was taken up warmly by the members of the Geographical Society of Paris, and, after the manner of that learned Body, referred to a Committee to examine and report upon it. The report was drawn up by that distinguished geographer, savant, and man of sense, M. ERNEST DESJARD1NS, and read at the sitting of the Central Commission, the 18 Jan. 1867, and published in the Bulletin of the following April. Monsieur HARRISSE had permission accorded to him to have 500 copies struck off separately, at his own expense (Bulletin, p. 406). From this elaborate Report, the following translated extracts will mingle amusement with instruction. " Permit me, Gentlemen," says M. Desjardins, " to greet with pleasure, on its appearance, THE FIRST WORK OF SOLID ERUI)ITION MWHICH AMERICAN SCIENCE HAS PRODUCED, and which is due to the patient research, to the ardent love of high historical studies, and to the criticism as sagacious as methodical, of a young savant, M. HARRISSE, a Frenchman by origin. I am happy to add that the first duty of your reporter is to render to the author, in the name of the Geographical Society of Paris, an homage, let us rather say a justice, which to the present hour, has not been rendered to him elsewhere than in France. I am not here to examine for what reason the country to which this useful work does so much honor has remained indifferent to the publication of this new and unique repertory which will henceforth serve as the necessary guide to the future historians of the discovery and conquest of the New Worldl." " The well known impartiality of our Society makes it my duty to declare at once that there has not hitherto been published a more useful book for the preparation of the American history of the sixteenth century, and I hasten to add that this judgment, for it is not a personal opinion, is already confirmed by the special men of both worlds, who pass as the best arbiters in these matters, M1. ICAZBALCETA of Mexico, whose most complete approbation without any restriction, I have now before me; M. d'AvEZAC, a judge so competent in learned bibliography, who has presented M. Harrisse's works to the Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres (Session of the 10th Aug. 1866) accompanying this Bibliotheca Historica. 73 homage with explanations so luminous and praises so merited; M. VIVIEN DPR SAINT-MAIRTIN, who reserves to them a worthy place in his Annee yeographique; M. LE DUC DE MONTPENSIER, who interests himself so much in the -historv of discoveries, and particularly in whatever touches Christopher Columbus; MM. GAYANGOS and ZARCO DEL VALLE, of Madrid, not to cite the favorable testimonies of savants who are particularly known to me. M. Harrisse has, as we see, something in the applause of such judges to support unjust or flimsy criticism, and to have confidence in a work to which the future belongs." "That which cannot enough be praised in this immense work, is the vigorous method which the author has followed, and which it will be permitted to us to call by its true name, the French Method. He has not lost sight, even in his long dissertations, that he is a bibliographer, as such, charged with offering to the erudite public all the documents, and accompanying them with their historical justification, never thinking that he was permitted to set forth his own opinion. He applied himself to correct all the errors running through the history, but always in bringing forward proofs by facts, and never conjecture by reasoning. Every book is described de visu," etc. — " It will be understood that M. Harrisse's work, in spite of the exceptional interest which the numerous dissertations it comprises present, is not one of those which can be read consecutively and all at a breath. I shall add that there are very few readers sufficiently competent in each of the branches of American history to discover the errors of a man so learned as M. Harrisse.".... "I must still add, to be just, that M. Harrisse has applied to the accomplishment of his task as much abnegation as zeal and intelligence. He has given, without pretending to derive from it any material fruit, all his time to the editing and typographical direction of an admirable collection, the FIRST SPECIMIEN OF AMERICAN ERUDITION, and the repertory henceforth indispensable to all serious study of the conquest of America,"- and so on through a dozen pages. It will perhaps be an act of simple justice to one of the half dozen " arbiters " named above to add that he told the writer, that his indorsement and recommendation of the book consisted in a barely civil acknowledgment of a presentation copy with a few commonplace compliments. He could not, he thought, under the circumstances, have written less, and was consequently much surprised at the use made of his letter. As there are two sides to the Atlantic, so there appear to be two opinions as to the merits of this book. M. Harrisse throughout his work had playved swagger to a certain Vermonter who had for some time resided abroad, and to whom he was much indebted. M. Harrisse undertook to befoul him with many untruthful flings, insomuch that'in the London AthenceXum of the 6th of Oct. 1866, this G. M. B. felt it a duty to himself as well as to the public to apply publicly the beech seal, a remedy which the early Green Mountain Boys always found effectual with trespassing Yorkers. After bringing him to with a blank cartridge and cursorily examining his papers, and taking poor ANDER SCHIFFAHRT under his protection, this obscure writer concludes his four columns with the following brief summary. "The book at bottom is not a bad one; but the author has made it a mere fact-bag and crammed it with no end of extraneous matter. Like the jackdaw he does not appear to be able to resist anything bright, but picks it up regardless of its use or relevancy. The style of printing the titles in apparent facsimile misleads, and is a mistake. The collations are often obscure and not precise enough. There is a distressing want of uniformity in the orthography of names of places and persons. The mis-spelling of names is astounding. It is no exaggeration to say that the errata of names alone will make a list of 500. Two persons are made of one; one is made of two. Some are created altogether, witness Ander Schiffahrt. Chronology is set at defiance. Geography is obscured. History is in a muddle. Grammar and the Queen's English tortured, if not murdered. Acknowledgments are generally wanting where most required, and often given where not deserved. The index, though extremely full, is not trustworthy, names being left out of it purposely, or certainly not by accident. Evidences of bad temper are abundant, and flippant flings, which can always be parried, are plenty. M. Harrisse quotes largely at second-hand, and omits to mention the books most used. His general and particular scholarship is lamentably deficient, his pedantry and plagiarism manifest. his want of courtesy to predecessors and fellow-laborers, his spite and obscure vision as to the wants of others, are apparent thoughout. These are some of the faults which should be looked to in a future edition. I hear with feeling akin to national pride that the author of the BIBLIOTHECA AMERICANA VETUSTISSIXMA is not an American, and that therefore this book cannot fairly be charged to American scholarship." One hundred extra copies of this number of the 74 Bibliotheca HIistorica. Athenceum went to the chief geographers and bibliographers of Paris, and hence, after due button-holing of the great and the learned the beech-seal was removed and a son of France stood before the world whitewashed by the Geographical Society of Paris.

Iternandes the celebrated Naturalist was sent to New Spain by Philip the Second about 1595, where he remained exploring for several years, and returned to Europe with an herbarium the very richness and magnitude of which overwhelmed the men of science. A small 4o volume, containing a synopsis of the work, was printed in Mexico in 1604. After the death of Hernandes the collections were placed in the hands of Dr. Nardo Antonio Reccio, who with many collaborateurs completed, edited, and printed the great work at Rome, in folio, in 1628, but for some reason which has not yet been fully explained, was not published till 1651. The above MS is of the highest historical and scientific importance. It is not the work. as finally printed. 892 HERRERA (ANTONIO DE) HISTORIA GENERAL de los Castellanos en las Islas i Tierra Firme del mar Oceano. Descripcion de las Indias Occidentalis.

Vera Cruz forever! for one of her sons nearly a century ago gave to the world this translation of the whole 24 Books of the Iliad into Latin hexameters, and added thereto his Alexandrias, nearly 100 pages more, which had lain full tweuty years in his pigeon-holes in Mexico. The volumes are very handsomely printed, and tastefully decorated with copperplate head and tail pieces, engraved, probably, expressly for this work. The fourth Book of the Alexandias ends with tihe following allusion to Mexico: HIactenus Emathios Vatem memorasse triumphos Sit sates, arboream recubat dum lentus ad umbram, Qua per Mexiceos lequidus perlabitur agros Anthius, ac placidis foecundat jugera limphis, Et Guadalupsei surgunt felicia templi Culmina, pinnatoque minantur in aethera clivo.

His principal paper is " A Letter sent to a Friend in Old England concerning the Personal Monarchical Reign of Christ with the Saints here upon Earth, being an Answer to a Letter sent from Old England to New in 1659." He does not go so far as a subsequent American writer of this latitude, and intimate that New England is to be the New-Jerusalem. 6 812 ~ Bibliotheca Historica. 963 HUTCHINSON (Gov.

GOTARDo ARTHVS Dantiscano. Vellum. SCARCE. 8~ Colon. Agrip. sumptibus Wilhelmi Lutzenkirch, 1608 Master GOTARD ARTHUS of Dantzig was one of DeBry's editors, and was therefore well read in the early voyages of the Portuguese, the Spanish, the Dutch and others, to the East Indies by the routes of both capes. He resided at Frankfort, and finished this work in September, 1605, after the first seven?arts of DeBry's India had been published. In a condensed form this work is perhaps one of the best summaries there is of all the various East India voyages up to 1605, and therefore to the geographer and bibliographer it is of very considerable value. Chapter 35 treats of the AMolucca Islands and the divers routes thither, especially that by the Straits of Magellan. The book, in enabling the American historian to trace the gradual and mysterious separation of the new hemisphere from the old, entitles it to a prominent place among books on America. 975 INDIAN AFFAIRS.

FRANKLIN, it is believed, caused this volume to be issued in London, in January, 1775. Its effect was startling, for it proclaimed to the discriminating British Public (if there was at that time such a body) that the English language had acquired new vigor and clearness in being transplanted to the Western shores. The pith, point, and force of these Public Papers, astonished the politicians and statesmen of Westminster, and delighted the friends of the Colonies. The Original Petition of the Continental Congress to the King dated Oct. 26, 1774, firom which the above was printed, containing the signatures of fifty of the Delegates, after the manner of the Declaration of Independence, and second only in historical importance to that Document, is now in the possession of the writer, it having been signed in duplicate, one copy being carefully preserved by Dr. Franklin, the other sent to the King. The latter copy is still preserved in the State Paper office in London. No copy was retained by the Congress. 1027 JOURNAL of the House of Representatives and Senate of the United States 1st Congress, 3rd Session, 1790. Begun and Held at Philadelphia. 2 vols.

As the Jersies and Pensilvania," etc., and are likely to divert Trade from the Mother Country, by running tobacco and other produce to Scotland, Holland, and elsewhere, contrary to the recent laws against piracy, that is illegal trade. He prays Parliament therefore to "remove all the Calamities that attend these Colonies, through their want of Unity by reassuming that part of the Grants pretended to by the Proprietors of Conecticut, Rhode Island, East and West Jersies, Pensilvania, etc., by which they claim the powers of governing, or chusing Governors, and laying them under the immediate direction of the King." 1131 LETTERS.

Half roan. 80 London, 1777 With the Charter of the Society, and an account of its proceedings 1776-7. Above 100 missionaries were scattered throughout the American Colonies at the breaking out of the Rebellion [American Revolution]. The report of their proceedings in 1776 reads strangely now. " In July last, the Congress thought proper to make an explicit declaration of independence by which all connection with Great Britain was to be broken off, and the Americans released from any alliance to our gracious Sovereign." This declaration increased the embarrassment of the clergy. To officiate publicly, and not pray for the king and royal family, according to the Liturgy, was against their duty and oath, as well as dictates of their conscience; they therefore almost all of them shut up their churches. "The venerable Mr. Beach of Newtown in Connecticut is alone to be excepted" - and upon being warned of his danger, said with the firmness and spirtit of a primitive confessor " that he would do his duty, preach, and pray for the King'till the rebels cut out his tongue."

ELA (POMPONIUS) Pomponii Melae de Orbis sitv Libri tres, accvratissime emendati unh ci Commetariis loachimi Vadiani Helvetii castigatoribus, et omultis in locis auctoribus factis: Rvrsvm, Epistola Vadiani, ab eo pene adulescente ad Rudolphum Agricolam iuniorem scripta, non indigna lectu, nec inutilis ad ea capienda, quae aliubi in Cornmentarijs suis libare magis, quam longius explicare noluit. Fine copy, calf. Folio, Basilice, apud Andream Cratandrum, Januario, 1522 The story of this Book is too long to be told here, but it has played, and is.still destined to play, a prominent part in the early geographical history of this continent. The editor's real name was Joachim Watt, born at St Gall, in Switzerland, November 29, 1484, but educated chiefly at Vienna. Although a classical scholar, theologian, and poet, he seems to have been an arduous student of geography. In fact the best books we have on the geographical effects of the discoveries of Columbus, Vespucci, the Cabots, Dias, Da Gama, Cabral, etc., came from two distinct fraternities of students; the one at St Did, of whom Philesius was the soul, and the other at Vienna, of whom Vadianus was the moving spirit. It will not be difficult, probably, to show a connection between these two gymnasiums. Indeed, this volume helps us to many important facts. From St Did came the suggestionSto name the lfundus Novus of Vespucci AMERICA, and in 1512 Vadianus, in his letter to Agricola, Jr., adopts the suggestion. This letter was printed by Agricola in July, 1514, in small 4to, and dedicated to their mutual friend Caspar Velius, of Ursina, in Silicia. The same year Lucas Atlantse, an enterprising publisher of Vienna, announced as having on his anvils the works of SOLINUS, to be edited by Camers, and PoirPONIUS MELA, by Vadianus. Vadianus finished his large work and it was published in 1518. In his prolegomena he speaks of the necessity, to a proper understanding of the subject, of having the prominent places pictured on a map. Young Apianus, another student at Vienna, was then at work upon his great map of the world, but this was not finished till 1520, when it appeared with the SOLINUS of Camers. This map, the first one known with the name AMERICA, was no doubt intended for both the Pomponius Mela and the Solinus. These two books are uniform in size, and after 1520 were issued together, and the map when found at all, is usually bound in the middle, between the two. Vadianus returned to St Gall, his native place, and practiced as a physician, but kept up till long after his interest in igeographical studies. Having quarrelled with Camers, he reSdited his Pomponius Mela, and caused it to be reissued at Basil in 1522 (this edition), inscribing it, in an explanatory letter, dated at St Gall in April, 1521, to his friend, Dr. John Faber. This was the Faber, a native of Etaples, near Boulogne, a mathematician, an astronomer, and a geographer, who had, with others in 1499 published at Venice that superb edition of Sacrobosco, posting up cosmography and nautical astronomy to that date, and who, as Professor at Paris, in 1504, stimulated his young pupil, Mathias Ringman, to the study of cosmography. Ringman, born at Schlestadt, not far from Strasburg, having read at Paris the letter of Vespucci, translated by Giocondi, also residing in Paris found his youthful mind fired by it to such an extent that on returning home fie translated into German and printed at Strasburg, in August, 1505, Vespucci's letter. He soon after travelled into Italy, from whence he brought back a Greek MS. of Ptolemy, given him by Pico de Mirandola. This manuscript he took with him to St Did, in Lorraine, 108 Bibliotheca Historica. where he was made Professor in the Gymnasium, and became, as Philesius, the moving spirit of that small circle of Professors and Canons, under the patronage of Rend the Second, who gave a name to the new world. renown to St l)i6, and the Ptolemy of 1513 to the Press. Vadianus at Vienna, in 1512, adopted the name AMERICA. The letter to Agricola, and another tract by Vadianus, entitled Loca aliquot, etc., are reprinted in both the editions of Mela, but the letter of Agricola to Vadianus is omitted. It is doubtful if Alantse's Map of 1520, by Apianus, belongs properly to this edition of 1522, printed at Basle, though it is found with it in Cranmer's copy bound with Solinus, now in the British Museum. Not the least attractive feature of this beautiful volume is the titlepage, surrounded by one of HANS HOLnEIN's wood-cut borders, with his wellknown signature, dated 1519. 1273 MELT'ON (EDWARD, Engelsch Edelnans) Zeldzaamie en Gedenkwaardige Zee-en Land-Reizen; door Egypten, WestIndien, Perzien, Turkeyen, Oost-Indien, en d'aangrenzende Gewesten; behelzende een zeer naauwokeurige beschrijving der genoemde Landen, benevens der zelver Inwoonderen Godsdienft, Regeering, Zeeden en Gewoonten, mitsgaders veele zeer vreemde voorvallen, ongeemene geschiedenissen, en wonderlijke wederwaringen.

The author gives a list of above 170 authors whom he quotes, many of them bearing testimony to the valuable services of the Order as missionaries among the heathen of both hemispheres. He also enumerates the Popes, and other high officials in the Church, who have testified in their favor, and declares that the movement for the suppression of the Order was instigated by the enemies of true Religion, and is headed by the Devil in person. This defense is strongly fortified by many historical allusions to services in the new world from the time of the entrance of the Dominicans into Mexico in the time of Cortes. 110 Bibliotheca Historica. 1288 MENDON.

French and English on opposite pages, fine clean copy, in white vellum by William Pratt. 8~ JI Almon, London, 1777 This book seems destined to live the full age allotted to a lie. Nothing has more lives, or is harder to kill than a good political lie well told, which has once taken in statesmen, philosophers, and historians, whose reputation and interest encourage it to survive. This little book has in its day played its part on many stages, and its day seems not yet over. It has many times been pronounced spurious, yet there are some who still assert its genuineness and defend its authenticity. So it has been from its publication in March, 1777, and so it probably will be. It comprises three long letters purporting to be from the Marquis de MONTCALSM, Governor-general and Commander-in-chief of Canada; the first to M. de Berryer, First Commissioner of the Marine of France, dated from Montreal, April 4, 1757; the second to the same person, dated also from Montreal, October 1, 1758; and the third to his cousin, M. de Mold, First President in the Parliament of France, dated at the Camp before Quebec, August 24, 1759, a few days only before the fall of that stronghold into the hands of the English on the 13th of September, a day forever memorable for its consequences to both England and France, and the deaths of both of the great Commanders, MONTCALM. and WOLFE. The first letter occupies thirteen pages, nine of which are taken up with the copy of a letter to Montcalm, from S. J. of Boston, dated January 4, 1757, containing the cream and pith of the whole three letters, which together fill 28 pages in English, and the same number in French. This Boston Spy, whoever he was, appears to have been thoroughly well acquainted with the history, the powers, the aims, the interests, and the proclivities of the several English Colonies, both as to their relations to each other, and individually and collectively to Mother England. He proposes to Montcalm a scheme for undermining the power of Great Britain, by encouraging free trade between France and the English Colonies indirectly through Canada. He states the case philosophically, based upon well-known facts, and predicts almost precisely the course of events for the next fifteen years. Indeed, S. J. writes precisely such a letter in 1757, as a man of great intelligence could only write in 1770, or 1775, after the passage of the Stamp Act in 1765, its repeal in 1766, and the various other more or less vindictive enactments of the Parliament anent the Colonies, till the pouring out of that great vial of wrath, the BOSTON PORT BILL. S. J. writes, page 3, " The commerce of all the other Colonies might be drawn to and fixed in Canada; for if you there introduce all kinds of manufactures, especially your Indian goods, from France, of which the middling class of our planters are so ridiculously fond; if you made considerable imports from France of your brandies, wines, and other liquors, you would find drunkards enough in the colonies to take them off your hands: thus you would soon ruin the manufactures of England, which would soon find no market here, and our money would circulate among your merchants. A double advantage would arise to you from this, since, while you were enriching yourselves, you would be impoverishing your natural enemies. It is true that England, too clearly perceiving her approaching ruin, would not fail to make heavy and loud complaints. The Parliament would immediately pass bills to suppress this commerce, so ruinous to their nation;.... a secret and fraudulent trade may enrich an individual, but Bibliotheca Historica. 115 the commerce of an extensive country must be open, free and unfettered. Let your Excellency, from hence, learn to know us." Again on page 5: "' Among us, no act of Parliament, or order from the throne, has the force of a law, or can be put in execution, till after it has been agreed to and accepted in our general assemblies. Though these assemblies have not yet the power of making our own laws, yet they have at least the privilege of refusing those which are injurious and ruinous to the country; and perhaps the day is not far distant, when they will reject bills passed in England, though invested with the highest authority. Can you think that the members of these general assemblies will be such enemies to themselves and their country, as meanly to submit to the orders of England, should they take it in their heads to compel us to give them a guinea, for what we can purchase in Canada, in our own ports, for a penny? " Speaking of the union of the Colonies, he says, "The planters of the different colonies have assembled under one standard, and thus an acquaintance, connection, and intercourse are established, and the union cemented. An important step for us, since we now shall, as it were, go hand in hand for the future. Our rights will be respected, because it would be dangerous to attack them." And on page 8, " From every circumstance I have the honor to remark to you, it is easy to foresee that England would not succeed in prohibiting our commerce with your colony; and I speak this the more confidently, as the price of the commodities which are brought us from England, begins to be offensive in the eves of the multitude, who, even in the midst of war, cry out loudly for procuring them from some other quarter. If I am not much mistaken, all our colonies, in less than ten years, will catch fire on this occasion. Indeed, there are hardly anymeans of preventing it, since labour is at such an exorbitant rate in England: a necessary event in a country which has enriched itself considerably by commerce; and hence follows the consequent rise of manufactures.... although Canada should escape from the hands of its masters, the day will come, when the high price of English commodities will be such a weight on our colonies, as to oblige them to have recourse to a stranger; England must then be ruined. This prophetic event is the more sure, and the sooner to be expected, as the opulence of our colonies is not everywhere on an equal footing. It is unreasonable to rob them, by forcing them to buy, at a high price, what they can have almost for nothing. Common interest will unite them, and what will be the event of it?.... What I dare previously assure you, from a knowledge of our situation and sentiments, is, that England will fall the first victim..... This who lives will see! " In transmitting this letter, Montcalm did but little more than endorse its sentiments, but in his second letter a year later he says, " All these informations, which I every day receive, confirm me in my opinion that England will one day lose her Colonies on the Continent of America; and if Canada should then be in the hands of an able governor, who understands his business, he will have a thousand opportunities of hastening the event; this is the only advantage we can reap, for all it has cost us. As to the English Colonies, there is one essential point to be considered: they have never yet been taxed, but have always preserved that right to themselves. Were they [England] now to attempt it, I have certain assurances that the English Colonies would take fire, and the flame would spread everywhere; which, if properly fed, would embarrass England to extinguish it." But the most pertinent predictions are in the third letter to Mr. Mold, filling nine pages. " For more than three months has Mr. Wolfe been hanging on my hands." "The enemy ruins us, but not enriches himself." " Nothing, however, is less certain: the taking of Quebec depends on one masterly stroke." " They are in a condition to give us battle, which I must not refuse, and which I cannot hope to gain. General Wolfe, indeed, if he understands his business, has only to receive our first fire, and then advancing briskly on my army, &c." " The event must decide. But of one thing be certain, that I probably shall not survive the loss of the Colony." " I shall at least console myself on my defeat, and on the loss of the Colony, by the full persuasion that this defeat will one day serve my country more than a victory, and that the conqueror, in aggrandizing himself, will find his tomb the country he gains from us." " All the English Colonies would long since have shaken off the yoke, each province would have formed itself into a little independent republic, if the fear of seeing the French at their door had not been a check upon them. Master for mastelr, they have preferred their own countrymen to strangers, observing, however, this maxim, to obey as little as possible; but when Canada shall be conquered, and 116f; Bibliotheca Historica. the Canadians and these Colonies become one people, on the first occasion, when England shall seem to strike at their interest, do you believe, my dear cousin, that these Colonies will obey? and what would they have to fear firom a revolt? "... but I doubt whether they [the English] would ever make good a landing. Add too, that in case of a general revolt, of any part of these Colonies, all the powers of Europe, secret and jealous enemies of the power of England, would at first assist them privately, and then openly, to throw off the yoke." " If the English make a conquest they are sure to change the constitution of the country, and introduce their own laws," etc. " Upon this account, Canada, once taken by the English, would, in a few years saffer much more from being forced to be English." "' Farewell then-to... obedience and fidelity; they would soon be of no use to England, and perhaps they would oppose her. I am so clear in what I now assert, that I would not give more than ten years after the conquest of Canada. to see it accomplished. See then what now consoles me, as a Frenchman, for the imminent danger my country runs of losing this colony." Such is a brief synopsis of this remarkable book. Its very prophecies in 1757-59 became the " very historical truth " of 1777, and forcibly struck home to the Ministry and the Parliament. It was published in March,'77, just in the nick of time to " go to the country " with those two vindictive Acts which drew from Burke his fatmous letter, of the 3d of April, to the Sheriffs of Bristol. It was announced in the London Macgazine for April, 1777, p. 216, without comment; but the Mlonthly Review of the same month, p. 306, noticed it rather favorably and cautiously, beginning, " From these Letters, which appear to us to be genuine, although the Editor is silent," etc. The Gentlenman's Mlagazine for July, p. 342, is more explicit, " That the sagacity of this accomplished General [Montcalm] was equal to his bravery, appears from the following remarkable prediction, now fatally verified,' All the English Colonies would long since have shaken off the yoke,'" etc.... "The whole," says Mr. Urban, "is well worth perusal, and shows that M. de Montcalm was tnam Mercutio qunsan Mlarte.-It is proper to add, that the authenticity of the work was lately attacked in the House of Lords by Lord Shelburne, but ably defended by Lord Mansfield." On turning to the Parliamentary Register, to the celebrated debate in"',the House of Lords, on the 30th of Mlay, opened by the Earl of Chatham, and closed by Lord Abingdon, two of America's friends, in which debate Earl Gower, the Duke of Grafton, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Peterborough, Lord Lyttleton, the Duke of Manchester, Lord Camden, Lord Weymouth, Lord Wycombe [Earl of Shelburne], Lord Mansfield, and Lord Onslow participated, Lord Shelburne said, speaking of Montcalm's Letters, that they " had been discovered to be a forgery." But Lord Mansfield said, "He maintained his former opinions, respecting the American views of independency; but relied more upon what was argued in Montcalm's Letters, which he insisted were not spurious." The next we hear of these Letters a little further afield, is a settler from the Earl of Abingdon, printed at Oxford in June, in his Thoughts on the Letter of' Edmund Burke, p. 56, " To get rid of these stumbling blocks of aggressorship [who threw the first stone] something was to be devised; and this something was, that America meant to become independent of this country. But how was this to be supported? The learned Lord [Mansfield] proved it by innuendoes, by sayings and doings, ai priori, out of the American Assemblies, from Montcalm's Letters, which have been found to be forgeries," etc. Still later, on the fifth of March, 1778, just eight years to a day after the Boston Massacre, in another great debate, in the House of Lords, on the Reconciliation Bills, Earl Temple (no great authority it is true), who had boxed the compass of opinion, said "he believed America had aimed at independency from the beginning, etc..... e had another strong reason to confirm him in the same way of thinking, that was, the pointed observations contained in the letters attributed to Monsieur Montcalm, which indeed bear the stamp of prediction, more than hypothetical reasoning. He observed, that the authenticity of those letters had been often disputed; but he could affirm, that he saw them in manuscript among the papers of a minister now deceased, long before they made their appearance in print, and at a time when American independency was in the contemplation of a very few persons indeed. With regard to the right of Great Britain to exact a revenue from America, I never entertained a doubt of it, nor that the colonies secretly looked forward to independency. The letters I have already alluded to prove it." No judgment could be based on the character of the publisher, for Almon, the pub Bibliotheca Ilistorica. 117 lisher of the Remembrancer, was one who printed for all parties, and for and against America. For some time the general impression remained that the Montcalm, like the Washington letters published the same year, were spurious. In 1835 Mr. Rich recorded the book with the remark -" If these letters are gelline, they show that M. de Montcalm had a very correct presentiment of what would be the consequence of attempting to tax tile Colonies." In 1844, while engaged in looking up materials for a history of the old French War, the writer well recollects discussing the character of the letters with Mr. Sparks, who unhesitatingly pronounced them spurious. Mr. Bancroft was of the same opinion. The use of the word planters by S. J. is strong evidence that he was not a Bostonian. In 1858 appeared a volume entitled The Plains of Abraham; Notes original and selectedl. By Lt. Col. Beatson, C. E. 80 Gibraltar, Garrison Press, 1858, made up paitly of extracts from these Montcalm letters. Col. Beatson appears to have had no suspicion that their genuineness had ever been doubted. This Gibraltar book falling into the hands of Thomas Corlyle. while achieving the Life of Frederick of Prussia, seduced the great Philosopher of Chelsea into a charming episode of eight or ten pages (Vol. V, Loend. Ext. pp. 555-563, published in March 1865) in which Montcalm shines as a great prophet. Writes Thomas, "Colonel Beatson in his recent Pamphlet, The Plains of Abraham,- which, especially on the military side, is distressingly ignorant and shallow, though not intentionally incorrect any where, -gives extracts from a Letter of Montcalm's (' Quebec, 24th August, 1759') which is highly worth reading, had we room. It predicts to a hair's breadth not only the way' Mlr. Wolfe, if he understands his trade, will take to beat and ruin me if we meet in fight;' but also, - with a sagacity singular to look at in the years 1775-77, and perhaps still more in the years 186t0-63, - what will be the consequences to those unruly English, Colonial and other.' If he beat me here, France has lost America utterly' thinks Montcalm:' Yes; — and one's only consolation is. In ten years farther America will be in revolt against England.' Mr. Carlyle did not succeed in finding this original edition by Almon, "which is not," wrote he, "in the British Museum Library, on applying: and seems to be a forgotten book." Mr. Carlyle will doubtless, on thrther inquiry, in a future edition, decide to cut out this episode, interesting as it is, as he did another on another occasion, in another book, as a sacrifice to Truth, or tapping the bottom of his tub with an explanatory note, after the manner of latter-day history, let the spirit of it drizzle away unseen. In Sept. 1865, the writer's attention was called to this episode by Professor Newton of Cambridge, while at Fryston Hall in Yorkshire, when he at once recounted the history of the Montcalm, forgery, and the whole subject was discussed by Lord Houghton (whose acquaintance with the history of literary forgeries is very extensive) Mr. William E. Forster, M. P., Prof. Newton and others. The writer then undertook to write out the story for the generous public, but on returning to London no copy of the " forgotten book " could be found in London or Oxford for manv months. Now the writer is aware that all this narrative, being mostly negative testimony, does not demonstrate that the letters are forgeries, but it seems to him to place the whole matter in such a position that hardly anything short of the actual production of the original autograph letters of the old Marquis de Montcalm will establish their authenticity. Earl Temple might have seen the letters, as he said, "' in manuscript among the papers of a minister now [1778] deceased, long before they made their appearance in print" [1777]. This "long before " may have been after the passage of the Boston Port Bill in 1774, and those letters, if now produced, might not be in the handwriting of Montcalm. It was reserved for Mr. Francis Parkman, the historian, in 1b69, to very nearly settle the question of the likelihood of the originals ever turning up. While at Paris in the spring of that year he had interviews with the present Marquis de M1ontcalm, who showed him many letters of his ancestor, and among them the letter of the 26th August to M. Mold. Mr. Parkman took a copy of it under the impression that it was ins the autograph of' the old Marquis, but subsequent correspondence with the present Marquis showed that the letter is not in the handwriting of his ancestor, thus knocking away what may perhaps be considered the last prop of' the authenticity of the letters. Those who wish to pursue the subject further are referred to the admirable paper filling 17 pages in the Proceedings of the Alassarchusetts Historical Society for June, July, and August 1869, pp. 112-128, published in December, to all reasonable appearances settling the question. A good thing too that the question is now settled, for since,the new life given to the fiction by Mlr. Carlyle, it has found its way into Maunder and other biographical dictionaries and into encyclopmedias, at the expense of the Truth of History. 118 Bibliotheca Historica. 1337 MONTGOMERY (G. W.)

The book, read in the light of to-day in this country, is an uncommon curiosity, more provocative of smiles than frowns. A good number of the poems and poetical epistles, as well as some of the occasional pieces in prose, were written during the Poet's travels in America. His own youthful importance seems to have been dwarfed for the first time in his life by Niagara, and hence his dislike to the whole country. He was nowhere properly appreciated, not even in Washington, with its Tiber, and streets of magnificent distances, but in Canada he stood on his own soil [dirt] and threw it, and felt happier. Some of his finer poems, as, for instance, the Canadian Boat Song, are' in this volume, but they are so mixed up with Tom Moore unrefined, that the volume as a whole is an unfortunate monument to the great Irish Poet. He wrote spitefully, and shortly after, on publishing his volume, at three times the ordinary price, wrote in his preface, respecting his productions in America, " And though prudence might have dictated gentler language, truth, I think, would have justified severer." He lived to think differently. In his last illness, on receiving from the writer a box of Boston Crackers, the aged Poet sent back words of thanks, adding playfully, that he never enjoyed anything with better relish, except perhaps the news that his Poems had been reprinted in America, and were read with interest on the banks of the Ohio. 1347 MOREAU (PIERRE) KLARE EN WAARACIITIGE BESCHRYVING VAN de leste Veroerten en Afval der Portuguezen in BRASIL.

By a Patriot. Monstrum Horrendum. Title and 319 pp. Fine copy, half roan. 80 London, 1759 RARE AND IMPORTANT. The above title conveys no adequate idea of the contents of this very interesting book. The first part is a statement of affairs, and an analysis of them, from the Peace of Utrecht, till some months after Braddock's Defeat. The second part contains the Original Documents or Vouchers for the Narratives. These comprise the memorials and letters that passed between the English and French officers in Canada and Nova Scotia, and other English colonies, especially on the Ohio, from 1751 to 1755, including the chief papers that fell into the hands of the French after the surrender of Fort Necessity, and Braddock's Defeat, such as Washington's Journal and Letters, Stobo's Letter to Washington, Braddock's Letters etc., etc., some of which papers are re-translations from the French. The book is deserving of the compliment of a new edition. 1M2 Bibliotheca Historica. 1384 MYSTERIES OF ISIS; or the Science of Mathematics. Translated from the original Mythic Symbols.

Folio, Ambers, 1755 The above are two of the best editions of this most extraordinary work; a complete biography of the VIprGIN, giving the most minute and authentic details of her life, and as it is asserted, written by a special revelation. It records facts, dates, events, and divers proceedings, such for instance as the visit of the Virgin to Santiago, the fights between her body-guard of two angels and the devil, who vainly endeavored to impede her progress. One of these angels afterwards served in the guard of the Madre AGREDA. The work narrowly escaped the Index, for it was at first bitterly opposed by many of the Church, and as warmly advocated by others. At first it was condemned by the Inquisition, but afterwards was licensed. Many works have been written for and against it. Finallv it triumphed over all its enemies, and is now received as thoroughly orthodox. It is a standard work in the libraries of almost all the Convents of Catholic countries. Both editions are now fortified with page after page of licenses, approvals, and recommendations. 1387! APIER (Lieut. Gen. Sir W.) Life and Opinions of Sir Charles James Napier, G. C. B. 4 vols.

Fine copy, vellum. Folio, Madrid, 1626 This beautiful book comprises a system of Political Economy, calculated for the meridian of the Kingdom of Old Castile. It is most interesting and contains incidentally many allusions to America and its influence upon Spain. The author considers in his seventh and eighth Discourses the two great causes of the Decrease of Population of Spain, and particularly Castile. The one is the Expulsion of the Moors and the Jews, and the other is the new Discoveries and Colonies in America. The title-page designed by F. Agus. Leonardo, and engraved by Alardo de Pompa is peculiar, being an architectural design surmounted by the arms of Leon and Castile supported on either side by figures of Wisdom and Prudence, while between columns one on each side stand portraits of the two brothers of the author: Alonso Mena Navarrete the eldest brother, and Alonso Navarrete, proto-Martyr, both of the Order of Saint Donmingo in Japan. 1393 NEAL (DANIEL) THE HISTORY OF NEW ENGLAND, an Impartial Account of the Civil and Ecclesiastical Affairs of the Country to 1700, with Appendix.

ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT RECORDS of the CORPORATION FOR NEW ENGLAND, IN LONDON, (afterwards called) THE COMPANY FOR PROPAGATION OF THE GOSPELL IN NEW ENGLAND, from the sixteenth of February 1655 to the 4th of February 1685, being the original autograph minutes of the Proceedings of the Corporation, for thirty years, by five successive Secretaries, comprising 120 leaves, or 240 folio pages, generally in good preservation and legible, but some leaves at the beginning slightly mutilated. Bound in white vellum, never printed, and never skimmed with permission by any editor or writer. Folio, 1655-1685 It is not easy to overestimate the historical value and literary importance of original unpublished manuscripts of this kind. When it is remembered what this Corporation of New England was in London, what good friends of New England composed it, for whom it labored, how much money it raised and remitted to Boston, how much good it accomplished; how it befriended, encouraged, and backed the Commissioners of the United Colonies; how it found out, elected, and supported Eliot, and befiiended Mayhew; how it clothed, fed, physicked and educated the praying Indians; how it encouraged and paid for the printing of the Bible, and many other books. in the Indian language; how it selected and sent over Marmaduke Johnson to print at Cambridge; how it helped the College, and supported Missionaries both to the Colonists and the Savages; how it kept the Church at home alive to the wants of the Mission in New England and printed all the Progresses of the Gospel among the Indians: when all these memories are brought home to our business and bosoms, perhaps some other Corporation in New Engqland will see enough in the Volume to secure it, and give to the world, through the press, its contents in a neat volume, and so repay an instalment of the interest on the great debt of gratitude so long over-due to that brave Old Cromwellian Corporation. This volume has long sued in vain for appreciation and a home in this country, like the Hakluyt Manuscript of 1584, the Walter Ludd of 1507, the Logbook of Capt. Luke Foxe, the Dinwiddie and Washington Papers of 1751-1758, the Private Record Book of Dieskau and Montcalm of 1755-1759, and honest old Gorton's answer to Morton in 1669. As they become lost to America they become precious and worthy of printing. It is impossible to give any adequate idea of the value of this volume by a mere description, for though it contains much that is now irrelevant to New England history, yet it all illustrates the history of the Corporation. A few extracts may interest the reader. "14 April 1660. That it be considered by Mr. Tresr and such others as hee shall thinke fitt to prepare some propositions in writing agt the next Cort to be made unto the printer for the obleidginge of him to carry on the printinge of the Bible in the Indian language in N. E. for the. best advantage of the worke.' "21 of April 1660. "Mr. Tresr reports that in pursuance of the Order and desire of this Court of the 14 instint hbee hath treated with the printer [Marginal note, Marmaduke Johnson is the Printer's name] about going into N. E. to print ye Bible in the Indian Language & reportts that the printer is willing to go and bee employed in that service at the salary of ~40 per Ann. besides dyett, lodginge & washinge, & a Quarter's salary in advance & his tyme to bee there for three yeares & more if the Corporation or Comrs for the United Colonies please to command fiom the tyme of his going on shippe board & the Corporation to pay his passage thither. And the sd Marmaduke Johnson is contented and willinge to give security vnto the Corporation to perform these Agreemts abovementioned. And it is ordered that Articles bee forthwith prepared accordinge to the agreement abovenamed." "May 22, 1660(. Whereas it appeares that Mr. Tho. Bell, one of the Membs of this Corporation hath pd five pounds for the passage of Marmaduke Johnson shipped on board the Prudent Mary bound for New England and more the sume of 18s for a Bed, Boulster, rugge & one Blankett for his accomodan in his voyage to N. Engld aforesd. It is ordered that Mr. Henry Ashurst Tresr of the Corporation bee desired to pay the sd Mr. Tho. Bell foir sd severell sums by him disbursed accordingly." Memorandum in the margin in another hand, "Mem. Marmaduke Johnson went from Gravesend of 14 May 1660, from wch tylne his salary is to begin at ~40 pr Ann."

Whereunto is anext the Answer of the Dissenting Brethren and Messengers of the Churches of New England, etc. Good copy in white forrel by Pratt, title-page in admirable fac-simile. [40 CJambridge,N. E.] Printed [by Samuel Green] in the year 1662. One of the rarest and most important books pertaining to New England History and Church Courses. It opens with an historical Preface addressed especially to the Churches of Massachusetts Colony giving a history of the Platforsm of Church Discipline agreed upon by a Synod at Cambridge in 1648, and quoting the works of many of the Lord's Worthies in New England, respecting the great subject of the baptism of infants and the infants of Chulch Members, and the Consociation of Churches, 12 pp. Then follows " The Answer of the Elders and other Messengers of the Churches, assembled at Boston, 1662, to the [two] Questions propounded to them by Order of the Honoured General Court," respecting Baptism and a Consociition of Churches, 18 pp. But the Synod was not unanimous. There was a Minority who made an adverse Report which fills 38 pp. and is entitled: " Anti-Svnodalia Scripta Americana, Or a Prdposal of the Judgment of the Dissenting Messengers of the Churches of New England, Assembled by the Appointment of the General Court, March 10, 1662, whereof 126 Bibliotheca His torica. there were several Sessions afterwards. This ScrZpt or Treatise falling into the hands of a Friend to the Truth [Chauncy?] and the contents thereof, &c., was published for the Churches good, although without any Commission from the Dissenting Brethren; which they are desired not to be offended with. Wherein there is an Answer to the Arguments alleadged by the Synod." The first 7 pages of this is a Preface signed Philalethes [President Chauncy of Harvard College] giving reasons for publishing this dissent. Then on p. 8 comes the Report addressed to Gov. ENDICOTT. It pertains only to the first question of Baptism, the two parties agreeing substantially about Consociation. The question of Baptism then a political one, exercised the Great and General Court as much as the sale of liquor has recently. 1404 NEW ENGLAND.

It was compiled mainly from the best English authors, with a careful examination of standard maps and charts. It was just in the time of the American Revolution, when Franklin was in Paris, Adams in Holland, and Jay in Madrid. Everybody in Spain was thirsting for reliable topographical and geographical information. This work was intended to supply just what was wanted. As a fair saraple of the topography we give this brief extract from Chapter V. devoted Bibliotheca Ilistorica. 181 to a description of New England, translated literally: " New England is divided into eleven Provinces and four Counties. The Provinces are as follows: Massachusets, Essex, Middlesex, Suffolck, Hampshire, Plimouth, Barnestaple, Bristol, Warwik, Connecticut, and Newaven. The Counties are: New London, Harttort, Newhaven, and Fairfield." New York, New Jersey and Virginia are described with similar accuracy. 1451 NOVANGLUS and Massachusettensis; or Political Essays published in 1774 and 1775.

Folio, Basile&a, 1537 This large collection of Voyages, compiled by J. Huttich, and edited by Simon Gryneus, with a Geographical Preface by Sebastian Munster, all of the old University of Basle, at the expense of a' Jo. Hervagius, a Basil Publisher, should find a place in every public library, inasmuch as the original editions of the Papers of which it is made up, are now almost unfindable. Considering the date of the first edition of 1532, the reader should study some of the voyages with both of his eyes open, the one to detect the mistranslations and the other the misconceptions of inland geographers, who misread the reports of the navigators. The volume contains, 1. The voyages of Cadamosto down the coast of Africa in 1454-1455; 2. The first three voyages of Columnbus, 14921498; 3. Of Vincent Pinzon to Brazil in 1499; 4. The four voyages of Vespucci, 1497-1504; 5. Of Pedro Alvarez Cabral, 1500-1501; 6. Letter of King Emanuel to Leo X respecting the discoveries of the Portuguese in India, 1513; The Voyages of Varthema; 7. Description of the Holy Land in the 13th century, by Brocard; 8. The Relation of Joseph the Indian; 9. The three works of Marco Polo; 10. Haython's account of the Tartars; 11. Sarmatia, by Mathew Miechow; 12. -Muscovie, by Paulus Jovius; 13.

THEATRE, OFTE TOONNEL DES AERDT-BODEMS waer inne te seine sijn de Landt-tafelen van de geheele Weerelt; met een corte Verdarenge der seluer. Fine complete copy, with all the original cnaps, colored, half calf. Folio, Antwerpen, 1571 FIRST AND EXCESSIVELY RARE EDITION, in Dutch, almost unknown to bibliographers. Though the first Latin edition bears the date of 1570, and may have seen the light a short time before this, yet there are evidences that this Dutch edition was the one in which the work was composed. The maps are precisely the same in the two. There were several other editions in Latin between 1570 and 1600 with new maps, and retouches of the original ones, some dated, and others not, so that one feels not entirely safe in investigating the earliest geography of America till lie can eye this or the Latin of 1570, or both. A thorough study of Ortelius is of the last importance to the student of the geography of the western hemisphere. He was a bibliographer, a cartographer, and an antiquarian, as well as a good mathematician and geographer, and what is of infinite importance to us now, he gave his authorities. Many of the rampant errors that disturb and puzzle us can be treed and flayed by the help of Ortelius. It was Ortelius' famous list of authorities that first gave to Humboldt the hint that Hylacomilus and Waldseemuller were one and the same person, the key to his investigations upon the St Did fraternity, and the Vespucci voyages. When in 1862 that other valuable key,. Walter Lud's Orbis Speculum, printed in 1507, was discovered by the writer, and found to disclose the secrets of several of the St Did books, and when he could find no record of it elsewhere, he was delighted to find that it had not escaped Ortelius, but was recorded by him under the title, GUALTERUS LUDOVICUS. The book by Lud explained this reference, and gave us still more confidence in the List though there are still other books recorded in it of which bibliographers as yet know nothing. 1474 ORTELIUS (ABRAHAM) Epitome dv Theatre dv Monde d'Abraham Ortelivs: Auquel se represente, tant par figures que Characteres, la vraye situation, nature & propriet6 de la terre vniverselle.

By a Native of America [Lt. Col. John Parke.] 8~ Printed by Elizabeth Oswald, Philadelphia, 1786 This is perhaps the rarest and oddest of all the American Books of Poetry. The present copy is in fine condition in the original red morocco, gilt edges, bearing on the fly-leaf in the handwriting of Colonel Parke, the following inscription: " To the Honorable Robert Morris, Esq. Member of the General Assembly of this Commonwealth, from his very humble Servt. The Author. Philadelphia, Feb. 10, 17872" It came from the library of the late E. D. Ingraham, who wrote on another fly-leaf, " For an account of John Parke, the author of this volume, see Mr. Fisher's' Early Poets, etc. of Pennsylvrania,' Mem. Penn. Hist. Society, Vol. 2, part 2, p. 100."' Thework is dedicated to General Washington, has a learned preface addressed to the subscribers whose names fill sixteen pages, and a Life of Horace inscribed to Dr. Franklin. It is adorned with an extraordinary frontispiece designed by Peter Markoe, of Philadelphia, and engraved by James P. Malcom. Parke was a Delaware poet, born about 1750, educated in the College of Philadelphia, in 1768, entered the army at the beginning of the war, and was probably attached to Washington's Division. His Odes (for they are not Horace's), are dated from 1769 to 1786, at various places, as Philadelphia, Newcastle, Head Quarters, Clove, Arundel, Camp at Middlebrook, Dover, Valley Forge, Boston, New London, Brandywine, Roxbury, New York, Brunswick, Cambridge, Baltimore, etc. etc. generally in Camp at Head Quarters, and are inscribed to almost all the officers of the army, and prominent men and women of the country, not forgetting even his personal friends the servants.

J. F. de Lisardi, has been styled the Cervantes of Mexico by some, while Dr. Beristain in his Biblioteca HEispano Americana Septentrional, calls him the American Quevedo. He has written much, and on the whole ranks perhaps as the best Mexican writer. The present work is one illustrative of Mexican character, satirizing the faults of the people, but always true to liberal and republican principles. This copy has his portrait inserted. The 60 lithographs illustrating the work are spirited and amusing. Lisardi was born in Mexico in 1771, and during the period of the Revolution wrote very much, and chiefly as the Pensador Mexicano. 1534 PENSADOR MEXICANO.

Fine copy, half russia. Folio, n. p. 1621 This is one of the impudentest books known. The author's real name was Caspar Plautus, a monk at Lintz in Austria. In the most fulsome style, under his assumed name of Philoponus, he inscribes the work to himself in a long and highly complimentary Dedication. He accuses the DeBrys, in their great collection of Voyages, of telling outrageous lies, forgetting apparently his own whackers. One of the plates represents a ship stranded on the back of an enormous whale. The sailors could not get her off until the monks on board descended from the ship to balsena-firma and with full ceremony performed the grand mass, whereupon the monster descended gently and all were afloat again. 1550 PHILADELPHIA DIRECTORY for 1808.

Breton. 2 vols, fine copy, half morocco, uncut. 8~ Paris, 1812 This book, though a translation, should be in every public library in this country. M. Breton, the translator and editor, was a geographer and well up in his subject. He at once detected the innumerable errors in the Spanish and French names of persons and places, and set himself to correct them. Meanwhile Humboldt' in the Moniteuar, complimenting the work highly, as a whole, pointed out that his own map of New Mexico, a copy of which he had leftiwith the Secretary of State at Washington in 1804, had been appropriated with many erroneous additions, the responsibility of which additions he disclaimed. This brought out the Philadelphia editor to explain that Pike's work passed through the press in the author's absence on duty. 1563 PIKE (Major Z. M.)

These small cuts, measuring about 11 by 14 inches, are very spirited, and clever. They represent chiefly the events in the life of our Saviour and his Apostles. Some few of the cuts are not signed and some of them are repeated, but on the whole, this book is a mine of beauty of design. Few artists of his day surpassed in fertility of genius Urse Graff. He sprang up on a sudden about ten years before Holbein. 1621 POTTER (C. E.) HISTORY OF MANCHESTER, N.

Folio, Genoa, 1516 JAMES THE ANTIQUARY of Milan, in April 1506, suggested to the Dominican monk Giustiniani of Genoa, then 36 years of age, to occupy his leisure (otium cum negotio) in collecting, collating, and publishing in one volume the Psalms of David, in Hebrew, Greek, Arabic, and Chaldean, together with three of the best Latin versions extant, and with comments of his own. Ten years were devoted to this great work, and the present volume, the first Polyglot of the Psalms, was the result. It is inscribed to Leo X by Giustiniani from Genoa in August 1516. In the notes there are several historical and geographical references to contemporary events of considerable interest, such as that to Ps. 29, v. 6, where he interprets the sunicorn to be a rhinoceros, and says that he had seen a picture of one lately brought to the King of Portugal from India. But the most interesting of all the notes is the very long one on the 4th verse of the xix Psalm, wherein Giustiniani gives an account of the life and voyages of his fellow-townsman Columbus. There are several points in this notice which we do not find elsewhere printed so early, especially respecting the second voyage, and the Survey of the south side of Cuba, as far as Evangelista in May and June, 1494. Almost all other accounts of the Second Voyage, except that of Bernaldez, end before this Cuba exploring expedition. Ferdinand Columbus accuses Giustiniani of telling fourteen lies in this paper, but they are small ones. 1662 PSALMES. THE WHOLE BOOKE OF PSALMES.

Goodwin, Hartford, 1801 On the principle embodied in the advice of the old Translators, to be ever watchful to keep our candlesticks polished, the General Association of Connecticut, 150 Bibliotheca Historica. after the American Revolution, in burnishing up their Psalmody among other works, discovered on it many specks and defects. Accordingly, in June, 1795, Dr. Dwight was requested to revise, improve, complete and adapt Dr. Watts' Psalms, and add thereto a collection of Hymns, from Watts, Doddridge, and others. In 1798, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of the United States initiated steps to accomplish the same object; but subsequently learning what was in progress in Connecticut, postponed the matter. Dr. Dwight having completed his great work by the middle of 1799, it was referred to a Joint Committee appointed by both the Association and the General Assembly to examine and report upon. This Joint Committee met at Stamford, in Connecticut, 10th of June, 1800, and approved and recommended this new version for the use of the Churches in the United States. 1673 PSALMS. By Dr. Watts.

PEDRO DE LA PUENTE, Oidor de esta Audiencia y Superintendente de Policia. 243 pp. with 4 prelim. and 2 sequent leaves, fine copy, calf. 40 Mexico, 1812 A Book of the highest interest for the modern history of Mexico. By the celebrated BANDO, of the 25th June, 1812, the clergy who joined the Rebellion ~were ordered to be punished like other chiefs of the Army of Independence. On the 6th of July following the insurgent clergy claim their old immunity. It is the object of this book to combat that claim. All history, sacred and profane, is ransacked for precedents. Every rebellion, from that successful one of Lucifer down, is laid under contribution for authorities and examples. The Bible, the councils, the fathers, the doctors, and the bishops, in tremendous bibliographical array, are quoted and referred to. As a bibliography of the subject alone the volume is of considerable value.

The whole University of Mexico, the Athens of the new world, as they delight to call it, seems to have conspired to outdo and overleap itself by ingenious trifling in prose and verse, and prosy verse. The volume is filled with epigrams, polygrams, roundrobins, romances, gratulations, distiches, octaves, tentaves, puns, jokes, redondillas, anagrams, programs, chronograms, puzzles, catches, drolls, boustrophedons, sonnets, odes, acrostics, double acrostics, treble acrostics, stanzas, suns (v. pp. 40-41), saphics, acrostics of letters, acrostics of syllables, acrostics of words, poems of whole lines, half lines, first halves, last halves, up-readings, down-readings, to be read to the left of us, and to the right of us, in Latin and Spanish, in sense, in nonsense, indeed, in everything but common sense. The university of Mexico seems on that occasion to have thrown its entire Faculty into wit, with a solemn determination to express all the wit it had, even if compelled to live witless ever after. 1794 RODRIGUEZ DE SAN MIGUEL (Juan) La Republica Mexicana en 1846, o sea Directorio-general de los Supremos Poderes, y de las Principales Autoridades, Corporaciones y Oficinas de la Nacion. 198 and 123 pp. 8~ Mexico, 1845 An excellent book of reference, with important statistics and historical events.

S. an Eye-witness. Half roan. 40 London, 1 655 The result of this grand Cromwellian expedition of 10,000 men under Gen. Venables and Admiral Penn (the father of our William), was the acquisition of Jamaica to the English Commonwealth. The Glory of God, the Propagation of the Gospel, and the discomfiture of the wicked of a False Church, were the high-sounding rallying cries, while private gains, wholesale thievings unchristian selfish cruelties, out-Spanishing the Spanish iniquities of the previous century, were the mainsprings of action. They aimed at Hispaniola and Cuba, and barely secured Jamaica. This tract fills an important gap in the history of English possession in the West Indies. 1816 SACRA NEMESIS, the Levites Scourge, or Mercurius (Britan. Civicus) Disciplin'd.

Reimprimese por Don Juan Lopez Cancelada, Editor de la Gazeta de esta N[ueva] E[spafia.] Fine copy. 4~ Mexico, Oficina de Mariano de Zuiiga y Ontiveros, 1806 This extraordinary book to be appreciated must be seen. It is adorned with ten elaborate and highly-finished copperplate line engravings, four of them large oval portraits of BIASON, LOUVERTURE, CRISTOBAL and D.ESALINES the first Emperor of Hayti, exceedingly well engraved by Rea of Mexico. The remaining six are historical prints, designed and engraved by Manuel Lopez, artist of Mexico. Though intended for serious high art, there is a grotesque absurdity about some of the scenes truly laughable. Witness the murder of the young mother in the field in the foreground, and a landscape of trees and mountains in the background (p. 33), and the coronation scene (p. 73).where Desalines is represented'high on a throne' with his loyal supporters of sable hue on either side, so dark that nothing but the whites of their eyes relieve the picture. 1832 SANTO THOMAS (Fray DIEGO DE, Padre de la Provincia de San Diego en Nueva Espana, y Guardian del C~onvento de Santa Mlaria de los Angeles de Ocholopozco) CEREMONIAL Y MANUAL Sacado del Missal Romano de Pio V.

Fine copy, calf. 40 Mexico, 1810 A book of considerable historical interest outside of the particular religious subject treated. It fills 8 prelim. leaves and 386 pp. The Apparition of the SANTO CRISTO DE CHALMA, representing which there is.a copperplate frontispiece prefixed to this volume, occurred in Mexico in 1539, and from that day to this its history has been interwoven with the ecclesiastical, and is sometimes inseparable from the political, history of Mexico, especially so far as the management and education of the Indians intrusted to the missionaries of the Order of St Augustin are concerned. The large number of the earliest and rarest books relating to New Spain, referred to and quoted in this work, renders it indispensable to the historian. It is furthermore replete with biographical notes and references, not easily found elsewhere. 164 Bibliotheca Historkca. 1834 SARMIENTO DE GAMBOA (PEDRO) Viage al Estrecho de Magallanes, en los Annos de 1579 y 1580.

BY THEODORE DE LA GUARD [NATHANIEL WVARD of Ipswich.] The Third Edition, with some Additions. 4~ Printed by J. D. c R. I; for Stephen Bowtell, Lond. 1647 There were five distinct editions, with considerable alterations and additions, of this witty work issued in the year 1647, the first two without the edition being indicated, followed by the 2d, 3d and 4th. This Ihird edition, as far as the experience of the writer goes, is the most difficult of the five to find.

Of the nine editions of the map of New England, with the portrait of Capt. Smith this is the third, before the portrait was retouched, before Charles River was extended, and before Salem and Boston were put in. Very few copies of the editions of 1624, 1626, and 1627 have all the right maps. The plate of the map of New England was much altered after 1627, and names of places added which were not given till 1628, 1630, or later. It is very important to have the right maps, corresponding to the date of the edition. 1904 SMITH (MI.)

New York. 1869 Of this book one may read in the last Aug. No of the Historical Magazine, p. 106: " This curiously-constructed volume opens with an Introduction [by Simon Stevens, President of the Tehuantepec Railway Company] in which the character of the LaSere Grant [of 1869] for a right of Sway, from ocean to ocean, is carefully described; with copies of the Charters granted by Mexico and Vermont; and specifications of the proposed work. Then follow, what possess most interest to us, - Histo!rical and Geographical Notes, 1453-1869, the former by Henry Stevens, the widely-known Bibliopole of London; the latter by some unknown hand. The whole is elaborately illustrated with Maps and Engravings; and, typographically considered, it is a volume of great beauty. In his Historical Votes, Mr. Henry Stevens has briefly glanced on the Old World as it was four hundred years ago" - and traced the progress of discovery and exploration down to 1530, especially so far as it pertained to the New World and its development and gradual recognition as an independent hemisphere. He treats of the earliest maps, the mistakes of the navigators, the blunders of the geographers, etc. etc. and endeavors to show for the first time on record, that the coast lines originally laid down as the north-eastern coast of Asia was afterwards adopted as the eastern coast of North America. The effect of this discovery, if maintained, must considerably modify our previously-conceived notions as to our early geography, chronology, and history. The above-named article concludes with: —" Such a paper, sandwiched in a prospectus for a new railway, is as unusual as it is judicious. The volume which contains it will be sought for and perused by hundreds who would not otherwise have cared for it; 176 Bibliotheca Iistorica. and it will be advertised and talked of, within Massachusetts and without, as no other similar production has hitherto been. For that reason let us advise our readers who are interested in such inquiries to seek to obtain a copy." Only a limited number was printed, chiefly as presents to capitalists known to be interested in the great project of Interoceanic Communication by means of the Tehuantepec Railway. Not fifty copies have been offered for sale. 1977* STEVENS (W.) Memoirs of. Boards. 8~ London, 1812 1978 STEVENSON (W. B.)

Very fine copy, in old pig skin. Maps and plates. Folio, Augsburg, 1726-1755 This rare and highly important collection of Letters from the Jesuit Missionaries in all parts of the World, deserves to be better known to the American historians. It is the great repertory of these valuable Letters. Not only are all the celebrated Lettres iEdfiantes translated and incorporated into this German Compilation, but very many more are added, so that it becomes the great storehouse of topography, history and geography of India, China, Japan, Borneo, Persia, Turkey, and the whole of the Western hemisphere. There are letters from every part of North and South America, and especially the more remote provinces of Mexico, of California, Brazil, Peru, Quito, and Paraguay; nor do we fail to find letters from Canada and the Eastern Provinces; Maine, NTew York, the Great West and the Valley of the Mississippi. The historical mouser who has waded through Stbcklein, must necessarily have accumulated details which cannot be found elsewhere. 1987 STOECKLEIN (JOSEPHIus) DER NEWE WELT-BOTT, mit allerhand nachrichten dem Missionarum Soc.

Fine copy, large paper, old calf. Folio, Isaac Thompson, Newcastle upon Tyne, 1747 The above title gives no indication of the value of this book for American history and biography. The author was a shrewd, sharp-witted Quaker, born in the north of England; had his eye-teeth cut while in the Church of England before he seceded and joined the Quakers. After travelling in Scotland and round about, he drifted towards London in 1697, where he had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of William Penn. Their intimacy soon ripened into friendship, and in the autumn of 1698, Story embarked at London for Pennsylvania. The next year he made a progress through New Jersey, New York City, Long Island, Connecticut, Rhode Island, to Boston and vicinity, and even into New Hampshire, spreading everywhere the true light of Truth and confounding the Priests. He interviewed Rollon-God Cotton of Sandwich, and spiced him well. He is particularly racv about the laws of Connecticut and Massachusetts. " Such is the great Bondage and Slavery that People are in to their hired Preachers, who had noosed them into a Law of their own making, Astructive of the Liberty of their Consciences and Civil Rights," etc. He found himself again in Philadelphia at the beginning of the year 1700, ready to return to England; but William Penn, appreciating his abilities, offered many inducements to him to remain. He became a member of the Governor's Council, the Keeper of the Great Seal, the Master of the Rolls, the Recorder of Deeds, and one of the -Commissioners of Property. On the granting of a Charter about this time to the inhabitants of Philadelphia, erecting it into a City, Story was appointed the First Recorder. Soon after he again travelled to New England and elsewhere at the North, and into Virginia andl Carolina at the South. In 1706 he married a daughter of Edward Shippen, of Philadelphia, formerly of Boston. He remained in the Government of Pennsylvania till 1708, when he went to the West Indies and thence to England. Altogether nearly 300 pages of this work are occupied by the author's travels and labors, political and pious, in America. Indeed, it is the largest book of Travels in what is now the United States up to this timrie, 1708. 12 178 Bibliotheca Historica. 1996 STRANGWAYES (GEORGE) THE VNHAPPY MARKSMAN.

Together with a full Discovery of the Fatal Cause of those unhappy Differences which first occasioned the Suits in Law betwixt them. Also the behavior of Mr. Strangways at his Tryal.

Published by a Faithful Hand. Ovid. Trist. lib. 5. Strangulaxt inclusus dolor, atque cor erstuet intus. EXCESSIVELY RARE. Fine copy, vellum, 32 pp. 40 London, T. N. for R. Clavell, 1659 VICTOR Huao, in his recent novel, " L'homme qui rit," describing the horrors of the Press-house of' Newyate, has brought the subject of this little book into terrible prominence. That author, so far as the scenes are laid in England, professes that he has not exceeded the reality, and that he has not gone beyond the letter of the law or the not unfrequent practice of the courts. Yet he has portrayed scenes of torture in Protestant England that were rarely or never exceeded by the Inquisition of Spain. The London Times of the 14th of last October, in reviewing M. Hugo's book, asserts that the author has disregarded history, and introduced scenes which it is impossible to believe could have ever taken place in England. A week later, in the London Telegraph, of the 22d October, Mr. Swinburne, the poet, comes out in an able and perfectly convincing defense of his French friend, and shows that it was the common practice, when a prisoner of a certain class refused to plead, to condemn him to the torture of the press till death, or till he consented to plead. Mr. Swinburne alludes to this case of Major Strangwayes as the last case of one dying under this torture, about the middle of the 18th century. He was herein mistaken one century, as to Major Strangwayes, but there was a case in 1720, of Spiggott who submitted to the press with much courage for some time, but finally yielded, plead, lived awhile, and died a wretch in body and soul, two or three years later. Several papers have appeared in England on this subject within the last few years, but this original account seems to be little known, while at the same time it gives important details, and far exceeds in official horrors anything written by M. Hugo or Mr. Swinburne. The high social position of the murderer and the murdered, and the whole chain of circumstantial evidence, are given in full in this contemporary account. For reasons which he deemed sufficient, Major Strangwayes refused to plead when brought before the court, and " persisting in his first resolution not to plead, hears from the offended court this dreadful sentence;" That the Prisoner be sent to the place from whence he came; and that he be put into a mean House stopped Jfiom any Light: and that he be laid upon his Back, with his Body bare, saving something to cover his Privy parts; That his AArms shall be stretched forth with a Cord, the one to one side of' the Prison, the other to the other side of' the Prison; and in like manner shall his Legs be used: And that upon his Boy shall be laid as much Iron and Stone as he can bear, and more; And the.frst day shall he have Three Morsels of Barley Bread, and the next day shall he drink thrice of the Water in the next Channel to the Prison Door, but no Spring or Fountain Water: And this shall be his punishment till he die" Thus in the Press-house in London, in February, 1658, because he would not plead, the prisoner died, hisfriends looking on, and some of them even mounting the press among the iron and the stones in kindness to hasten his horrid death. Can Victor Hugo over color these simple facts? An age later, in 1692, Giles Corey of Salem Farms, paid a like penalty. In Massachusetts a witch's soul was snaked out of his body by an old law, while a Bibliotheca Historica. 179 Stoughton was the Chief Justice and acting Governor. Giles Corey was not extinguished, but his story has become long after, one of the much talked-of " New England Tragedies." Well might the poet muffle the scene of the New England "press-house," and leave it to the passing-bell to announce the horrid death. And well might young Cotton Mather exclaim: - O sight most horrible! In a land like this, Spangled with Churches Evangelical, Inwrapped in our salvations, must we seek In mouldering statute-books of English Courts Some old forgotten Law, to do such deeds? Those who lie buried in the Potter's Field Will rise again, as surely as ourselves That sleep in honored graves with epitaphs; And this poor man, whom we have made a victim, Hereafter will be counted as a martyr!

With frontispiece and many copperplate engravings. Thick folio, Gedruckt zu Prag, 1683:A rare and very important historical work. It-contains the lives and martyrdoms of the Jesuit missionaries in the four parts of the Globe. Some of those who perished in Asia and Africa had previously labored in America. Part IV is devoted entirely to -America, comprising pages 563 to 738, and contains biog-.raphies, some of them very full, of fifty-eight missionaries, all of whom -were put to death by the savages in some horrid form or other. These terrible deaths are illustrated by thirty-nine copperplates in the text, representing all sorts of tortures, each more horrid than the last, equal in refinement of cruelty, almost to that of the Spanish savages who first explored and devastated the New World. Nine perished in Florida, viz: Peter Martinez, Sept. 28, 1566; Louis de Quiros, Gabriel de Solis, and Jean Mendez, the 4th of Feb. 1571; and John. Baptiste de Segura, Gabriel Gomez, Peter de Limarez, Sanctius Savallius and Christopher Rotundus, the 8th Feb. 1571. Several in Peru, Brasil, Paraguay Bibtiotheca Historica. 181 Quito, Mexico, and California. But perhaps the most interesting part'of the volume to us is pp. 647-694, containing the lives of the French Jesuits among the Hurons, the Iroquois, and other nations of Canada, New York, and the West, comprising the biographies of Fathers Isaac Jogues, Antoine Daniel, Jean de Brebeuf, Gabriel Lallemant, Charles Garnier, Natalis Chabanel, Cornelius Beudin, Jacob Basil, and Jacob Vhiuteux. The Life of Father Jogues filling 27 pages, is the fullest in the volume. He is represented as being tortured to death by the Iroquois on the 18th of October, 1646, first by three Indians pulling out the nails of his fingers and toes with pincers. 20182 TAPIA ZENTENO (CARLOS DE) ARTE NOVISSIMA de Lengua Mexicana.

Joseph Bernardo de Hoyal, 1753 At the head of the dedication are the arms of the Archbishop of Mexico, engraved by ANTONIO MORENO, Mexici sculpsit. The volume contains eleven preliminary leaves, and 58 pages. Aside from the intrinsic value of the work as one of the principal ones upon the languages of Mexico, there is on the tenth leaf a piece of elaborately ingenious trifling worth mentioning. It is an Elogio of sixteen lines, by Dr, Miguel Joseph Moche, upon the Author, so arranged in, concentric circles, like a wheel of sixteen spokes, that each line terminates in A, placed at the hub. The middle letter of each line is a capital. Then reading first round the tire, then the middle circle, ending at the hub with A, we have these 33 letters: D.

For all practical purposes in philology, theology, and history, it is every way as good and useful as the original, which would to-day probably produce a thousand guineas were it unfortunately put up to auction.

Morocco. 80 New York, n. d. 2090 TRACTATE (A) ON CHURCH MUSIC; being an Extract from the reverend and learned Mr. Peirce's vindication of the Dissenters. The Christian Religion shines brightest in its own dress; and to paint it, is but to deform it. Dr. Nichol's Defence of the Church of England. Fine copy, uncut, half roan. 80 London, 1786 On the back of the title is, " This Tractate on Church Music is inscribed to the reverend Doctor Chauncyv and the reverend Mr. John Clark, the Ministers; and to the several members of the FIRST CONGREGATIONAL DISSENTING CHURCH IN BOSTON IN AMERICA." The interest of this tract is considerably enhanced by a knowledge of the circumstances which called it forth. This copy belonged to Mr. S. Tome, the antiquary of Lonflon, who in 1786 wrote his autograph on the title, and an account of the origin of the book on the reverse of it. It is well known that Mr. THO. BRANDE HOLLIS, one of the benefactors of Harvard College, had acquired a wide-spread reputation, like the late George Peabody, for wealth and liberality, and like him was not unfrequently subjected to calls for considerable sums of money for objects in which he had either no sympathy, or did not feel that he should be bled. Among these applications was one from Dr. Charles Chauncy and the pillars of the First Congregational Church of Boston for ~500, to buy an Organ. Instead of granting this extraordinary request from a well-to-do Society, Mr. Brande Hollis caused, it is said, 500 copies of this TRACTATE to be printed and sent over to the Members of the Society, endeavoring thereby to inculcate in them that modesty and simplicity in their public worship, which they seemed for the moment to be outgrowing. Feeling somewhat diffident about the ability of his compilation to effect its object, Mr. Brande Hollis submitted it to two friends " because he knows the deserved esteem with which their names are regarded in America." These two gentlemen, Dr. Price and Dr. Kippis, in a Postscript, add their testimony against the use of instrumental music in Churches. Finally on a small slip at the end is pasted this quotation from Monsieur le Chevalier de Chastellux, a French officer, who served with LaFayette in the American War. " A judgment mray, generally, be formed of a people, by their mode of worship: If it be simple and modest, then they are active, and industrious; if it be full of solemnity and pomp, then they are vain and frivolous; if it be melancholy and austere, then they are fierce, violent, and obstinate." Never before probably was so much pious sarcasm concealed in so small a book. 2091 TRACTS. 7 vols bound in 1, calf. 80 London, 1710-15 1. Burnet (Thos.)

The aim and general scope of the author may be seen in his earnest replies to the three questions proposed in 1783 by the Academy of Lyons, namely,-1. Has the Discovery of America been an advantage or a disadvantage to the Human Family? If the results have been favorable, what means should be employed to secure and transmit them to our successors? Or if they are bad what means ought to be adopted to remedy them? These and similar questions, proposed to or by the Academies of Berlin, Besan9on, Metz, Liege, Chalons, Angers, Manheim, Madrid, Arras, Bordeaux, Mentone and Toulouse, are all so discussed and handled by our Author, Jean Brun, as to render the answers a perfect Triumph to the New World. Indeed, from these learned answers one can see that the Americans, native and foreign, are indeed useful to the Human Family, if in fact they are not a part even of that family. 2106 TROTTER (John Bernard) Memoirs of the latter years of Charles James Fox.

EXCESSIVELY RARE. 40 Ghedruckt in het Jaerons leeron, 1608 This is one of the earliest and most important publications of Wm. Usselinx, that clear-headed, far-seeing political economist, to whom Holland is perhaps more indebted than to any other one man, for her rapid growth and prosperity, between 1600 and 1635, through the encouragement of her East and West India Trade. 2160 USSELINCX (WILLEM) VERTOOGH, hoe nootwendich, nut ende profijtlick het sy voor de vereenighde Nederlanden te behouden de Vryheyt van te handelen op West-Indien, Inden vrede metten Coninck van Spaignen.

Froschouerum, 1534 The general opinion among the German Geographers of this date was that whatever parts of the world did not properly pertain to Europe and Africa somehow belonged to Asia. Up to 1533, Vadian, Schoner, Fine, and many others placed the discoveries of Cortes, and all before him, in Asia. This book, therefore, becomes important to the student of American History, not so much to trace out actual geographical information. as to see how befogged the learned were even twenty years after Columbus was in his grave.

After having freed itself from the despotism of the princes of Old Spain, this author, after recapitulating the struggles for independence, advocates the bold doctrine that even worse tyrants are to be overthrown in Mexico before she will be a free country. He pronounces the power of the clergy even more intolerable than the despotism of princes, and hence the work could not have been printed in Mexico.

The take-off of Spanish dedications, licenses, censuras, etc. is sufficiently amusing. The list of authors quoted and referred to fills 9 pages, many of whose names appear nowhere else. The poem itself fills about 80 pages, while the notes, built up in the truly asinine order, fill about 175 pages, and almost take away the breath of the reader with their learning and profound scholarship. Asses, anld their bouts andt whereabouts, are traced in every part of the world, but how, not being indigenous, they come to occupy the New World so extensively is a puzzle which the author has given his mind to most successfully.

Fine clean copy. 16~ Nueva Guatemala, por D. glynacio Beteta, 1808 It seems to have been reserved for this poet of Guatemala to first commit the praises of cowpox or vaccination, and Dr. Jenner to immortal verse. He had not only to overcome the prejudices of the people, but the dogged [dogma'd) conservatism of the Church. If we may judge of his services by the beautiful frontispiece to the volume, engraved by Francisco Cabrera of Guatemala, it must have been complete. This engraving is 31 by 2- inches square. In the foreground on the right stands the friendly cow tied to a tree in the open pasture, and by her the Doctor; on the left, seated on a bank, with fingers on tilhe musical strings is the poet doing his pastoral, while the children, all naked and bare, come rushing over the hills, Asi corren los nifios, por librarse De la peste feroz, a Vacunarse.

According to this pious author Our Lady of Mexico, between 1808 and 1812, seems not only to have taken an active interest in the spiritual welfare of the faithful, but seems to have done her best to thwart the schemes of the rebels and republicans in the various provinces of Mexico. She set her face firmly against the spirit of Mexican Independency, and became quite a politician, but always attached to the royal party. The pious political frauds contained in this volume must ever gi ve it a prominent place among the books relating to the History of the Mexican Revolution. 218 Bibliotheca Hislorica. 2452 CAMPiLLO Y COSIA (Joseph del) Nuevo Sistenla de Gobierno Econ6mico para la America.

Very fine copy, of an EXCESSIVELY RARE book. Calf. 4" Sevilla, en casa de Alonso Escrivano, 1572 This excessively rare book, comprising 272 foliod leaves, is one of the handsomest books ever printed in Spain. There is a good wood-cut portrait of the author on the title, and many geographical, astronomical, and scientific wood-cuts throughout the volume, one of the most interesting of which is a delineation of the New Hemisphere on the reverse of folio 95. The volume is of verv considerable interest to the student of early American geography, chronology, and history. It contains the latitudes and longitudes of most of the chief places in the new world, and in the Calendar a very full list of the Spanish and Portuguese saints and saint-days. As many places were named by the discoverers from the saint's day on which the discovery was made, hence from the name we can sometimes arrive at the date. This book is full of such suggestive material, and therefore must hereafter become a hand-book for the student of early American history. For instance if the Rio de San Antonio described by Oviedo in 1537 as laid down by ALoNzo DE CHAVES in his famous map of 1536, on the authority of Gomez' voyate, be identified as the Hudson River, then Gomez must have been there on the 13th of June, 1525, and as several other places between Narraganset and Chesapeake Bays were named by Gomez after saints it will not probably be difficult to solve the historical puzzle as to whether Gomez coasted north or south. We find nothing in this book to connect our Jerome de Chaves with the celebrated geographer, Alonzo de Chaves, but as they were both of Seville, it is not unlikely that they will turn out to be father and son. 2456 CHRQNOLOGIE Septenaire de l'Histoire de la Paix entre les Roys de France et d'Espagne...... avec nauigations faictes aux Indes Orientales, Occidentales & Septentrionales, 15981604.

A book crammed full of pious and ingenious trifling, licensed as opusculum istud esse valdepiumn, elaboratum operos6. Besides the five acrostics and 3000 numeral anagrams, the volume contains at the end a few literal labyrinths and puzzles that must have taken some devout monk months to work up. It is a little difficult at once to recognize the holy mystery that is said to pervade the numeral anagram, but one can readily see the holy impudence when this engine of conversion is turned on the enemies of the church. The 22 letters of the alphabet receive each a numeral value, A to I being the units 1-9; K to S the tens, 10-90; and T, V, X, and Z the hundreds, 100-400. These values, therefore, when applied to epithets of the Virgin, foot up thus: - Nivea Maria 376 Mater Deipara 376 Veneranda 376 Porta manes 376 Admirabilis Maria 376 (Page 50.) This same mysterious numbering, applied to the enemies of the church, it is said will reverse the mirror of holiness and show the naked truth. This is proved by a single instance in the Latin name llartinus Luther let down into the vulgar German pronunciation AMartin Lauter. If the corresponding numbers of these 12 letters be added together they will produce the mysterious trinity of sixes, 666, the very number of the Beast. The (Ecumenical Council itself cannot make any truth appear plainer. 2458* CONNECTICUT Register and United States Calendar for the years 1821, 1822, 1825, and 1826, 4 vols, good copies. 160 Hartford, 1821-26 See No. 484 of this Catalogue for other numbers of this Register. 2459 CONSTITUTIONS of the several Independent States of America; the Declaration of Independence: the Articles of Confederation, the Treaties, &c.

Miaps and plates. 80 Paris, 1801 Though called a translation, this is believed to be an original work by M. de Crevecceur, whose initials only appear at the end of the very neat dedication to Washington. The author spent nearly a quarter of a century in America; saw Washington in 1.774 come to the first Congress fresh from his farm, witnessed his extraordinary career, and in 1797 saw him retire to the private life of an agriculturist. His experience, therefore, enables him to give much information and personal gossip not readily found elsewhere. The portrait of Washington in the first volume is an interesting one, " Gravd d'aprbs le Camde peint par Madame Brdhan k Newyork en 1789."

A FINE, IARGE, BROAD, CLEAN, AND EVERY WAY PERFECT AND DESIRABLE COPY of the rarest and most precious book relating to English North America. Including this, the writer does not know of the existence of more than half a dozen perfect copies. These are the copies in the British Mluseum and Bodleian Libraries, and in the private collections of Mr. Lenox, Mr. Brown, and Mr. ChristieMiller. There is a very imperfect one in the library of Harvard College, and one wanting two leaves, belonging to Sir Thomas Pilillipps. No copy complete in England is known to have been sold for less than ~100 for the past hundred years, and one has been understood to have changed hands at double that sum, and probably;vill again if the opportunity occurs. It has become the fashion within the last few years for bibliographers, especially those who have got beyond their depth, to depreciate and decry the great collection of voyages of the DeBrys.'Ihey charge that these famous engravers had not a due regard for historic truth, and drew upon their imaginations for most of their fine pictures of men, animals, and things in foreign countries. The accounts of Virginia and Florida, being parts one and two of the Amnlerican Collection, are said to be overdrawn, mere fancy sketches, and therefore calculated only to mislead the truth-loving historian. These charges are based solely on negative testimony, that is, they say, that none of the original paintings used by the D)eBrys are known to exist, and the engravings have the appearance of German manufacture. Now it has been the good fortune of the writer, in his bibliographical mousings up and down the world, to light upon the original paintings which DeBry used for his Virginia, and part of his Florida, and to turn up other facts which, all put together, not only clear the DeBrys of the charge of disregard of truth, but go far toward establishing their great Collections as trustworthy, and as honestly put forth by them. If the Voyagers exaggerated their own accounts, it was not the fault of the DeBrvs. A synopsis of the story Inay perhaps as well be recorded here as anywhere, and may be brought back to the anvil, re-hammered, and worked up with authorities hereafter. It is well known that, after the failure of the Htuguenot attempts to make settlements in Florida under Ribault and Laudonni6r in 1562-1566, the artist of the latter expedition - one of the very few who escaped the terrible massacre by Menendez - Le Moine by name, retired to London, resided in the Blackfriars, and subsequently became a" servaunt to Sir Walter Raleigh." Raleigh had known Haklutyt and his studies in Cosmography, while student at Oxford, and subsequentlv in London, while interested in the expeditions of Frobisher, Gilbert, and otiers, had intercourse with the author of Diterse lVoyages. Again, somewhat later, after finishing his little matters in Flanders, Raleigh found himself in Paris, and there was Hakluyt again, nominally Chaplain to the English Embassy under Sir E. Stafford, but really hunting historical and geographical material tor a greater work on the voyages of his countrymen among the outside barbarians. Here in 1584 Hklluyt finished for Raleighll an elaborate geographical treatise, designed to induce 1Elizabeth to grant to Raleigh and his friends a Bibliotheca Historica. liberal charter for discovery and plantation in a more southern latitude than had before been attempted by the English. They pitched upon the territory just north of that which they found described in Laudonnidr's Journal, which Hakluyt had secured, and which was pictured in the maps and drawings of Le Moine. A reconnoitring expedition had been sent out by Raleigh in 1584 under the command of Amidas and Barlow, which returned in September. The results of this voyage, and Hakluyt's Paper (63 closely-written large folio pages), entitled, "A particular discourse concerning the greate necessitie and manifold comodyties that are like to grow to this Realme of Englande by the westerne discoveries lately attempted, written in the yere 1584, by Richarde Hakluyt... at the requeste of Mr. Walter Raleigh before the coming home of his two Barkes" [from the north of Florida] etc. secured from the Queen the desired Charter for six years and no more, that is, to make discoveries and found plantations up to 1590, when the Charter expired by limitation. This manuscript of Hakluyt fell into the hands of the writer some fifteen years ago, and he tried for a year or two to place it in America, but without success. It was afterwards sold to Sir Thomas Phillipps. It is soon to be printed for the first time by the Maine Historical Society. In the autumn of 1867 the writer had the honor of calling the learned Dr. Woods' attention to it, and suggesting its publication by the Maine Historical Society. While in Paris, Hakluyt induced his friend Basanier to edit Laudonnidr's Journal, and publish it under the patronage of Raleigh, while he himself, under the same patronage, brought out his excellent edition of Peter Martyr's Eight Decades, with the best map by F. G. of the new hemisphere that had been compiled up to that time. Basanier's book appeared in 1586, and Hakluvt's in 1587. Laudonnidr's Journal fell into the hands of Theodore DeBry, an enterprising engraver at Frankfort, formerly of Liege. One of the ten or a dozen who escaped the massacre in Florida was a young man named DeBry, probably a relative of the engraver. At all events the engraver took a deep interest in the work, and in 1587 went to London to see Le Moine in the Blackfiiars, with a view of obtaining some of his paintings, to enable him to reproduce Laudonnidr's Journal with illustrations. But being at the time in Raleigh's service, Le Moine was either unable or unwilling to give DeBry all he wanted. But Le Moine dying the next year, DeBry returned to London in 1588, and succeeded in buying of the widow the rest of the Florida collection. But while there he fell in with Hakluyvt, who was then engaged in bringing out his first folio Collection of Voyages. Hakluyt informed DeBry of the recent Virginia Expeditions under Raleigh's Charter, and suggested that, instead of bringing out his Florida as a separate book, he had better take the new book of Master Thomas Hariot, just out of the press, and illustrate it from the portfolio of John White, the artist sent out by Queen Elizabeth as chief Draughtsman in the expedition of 1585, who had recently returned, dedicate the work to Raleigh, and so begin a grand illustrated collection of voyages, the Virginia being the first part, the Florida to be held back to form the second part. Hariot, White, Raleigh, and DeBry all fell into this arrangement, and Hakluyt agreed to write the descriptions of White's maps and pictures. DeBry thus having filled his portfolios with copies of White's works and the originals of the late Le Moine's paintings, returned to Frankfort, and, with incredible enterprise and perseverance, brought out his Virginia in 1590, and the Florida in 1591, the latter as the Second Part of a Collection of Voyages. The Florida by this arrangement had been enlarged by additional pieces and plates. From this brief statement it will be perceived that thus far DeBry's Collection is perfectly authentic, and in its origin is essentially English. In another place we think it will not be difficult to show that he was alike painstaking and straightforward in the materials of all the other parts of both his America and India, and hence it must follow that the Collections are as deserving of confidence as the original Voyages from which they are reprinted, translated, and edited. But in reprinting Ilariot's report, and illustrating it with White's pictures, did not DeBry exaggerate and embellish? The answer is No, for the following reasons: In the year 1865 John White's original paintings in Water Colors, made for Sir Walter Raleigh in 1585, fell by purchase into the hands of the writer, and in March 1866 fell into the right place in the Grenville Library in the British Museumn, at the moderate cost to the Trustees of ~236 5s. Od. They now are a prominent part of the world-renowned "Grenville DeBry." A glance at the drawings will show that they are the works of an artist, and portraits whether of men, women, animals, fish, fowls, fruits, or plants. They are highly finished. DeBry's copies are very close, but not embellished. The following extracts Bibliotheca HTistorica. 225 from the writer's report on the collection, dated 22d March, 1866, when offering it to the Trustees of the British Museum, are given with tile hope of removing some of the aspersions that have been of late cast upon this famous collection, and encouraging collectors to repose confidence in the honesty of the great Frankfort family of engravers. The drawings are beautifully bound in two volumes in red morocco. " To A. Panizzi, Esq. etc. etc. British Museum. The two volumes, with some aids from the Grenville Library, will speak for themselves, but the following notes may facilitate your researches. They are chiefly drawn out of Hakluyt, Purchas, l)eBry, Harlot, Captain John Smith, and others. "The larger volume contains 76 Original Drawings in colors, done for Sir Walter Raleigh by John White, the English Painter who was sent by Queen Elizabeth in 1585 to Virginia, as principal draughtsman in Raleigh's famous Second Expedition for exploring the country and planting his' First Colonie.' This Expedition of seven ships was under the command of Admiral Sir Richard Grenville, the ancestor, I believe, of the founder of the Grenville Library. Thomas Candish, or Cavendish, was also of the fleet, and Master Ralph Lane was the Governor of the Colonie. This' First Colonie,' consisting of 109 men, remained in Virginia one whole year, and then returned to England in July, 1586, in Sir Francis Drake's fleet returning victorious from the West Indies, because the long expected supplies and reinforcements from England had not arrived. Fourteen days after their departure Sir Richard Grenville arrived with new stores and new planters, to find the Old Colonie deserted.'To Thomas Hariot and John White, two of these 109, we owe nearly all we know of that grand and most unfortunate expedition, and it is not too much to say, I think, that to them alone we may fairly ascribe nearly all the accurate knowledge we have of the Indians, and the natural history of that country for a full century later. "Nothing is recorded of John White in Modern Dictionaries of art or biography, yet from DeBry and Hakluyt we learn that he was both an eminent artist, and an influential man in his day. He made no less than four voyages to Virginia; was an'adventurer' in the' First Colonie;' the Governor of the' Second Colonie' in 1587; and the grandfather of Virginia Dare, the first English child born in North America: the friend and agent of Raleigh, and the associate of Hariot. Many of Governor White's Letters and Journals are preserved by his friend Hakluyt. His last voyage to Virginia was in 1590, as chief of Raleigh's' Fifth Expedition,' to aid and reinforce the Colonie of 1587. He returned unsuccessful the same year, and retired to Ireland, whence he dated a letter, long and important, to his friend Hakluyt,' from my house at Newtowne in Kylmore the 4th of February, 1593.' Theodore DeBry in his second visit to London in 1588, was introduced to White bv Hakluyt, who suggested to that eminent engraver, then projecting his Grand Collection of Voyages, to reprint Hariot's'Report of Virginia,' then just issued, and illustrate it with the pictures of John White. Hakluvt also persuaded DeBry to delay his Florida and make the Vir9iinia his First Part. White's pictures were copied, and the artist returning to Frankfort, with incredible enterprise completed the engravings in a masterly manner, and issued the work in 1590, in folio, four editions, in four languages, English, French, German, and Latin, a monument of Beauty and Art to himself, to Hariot, and to John White. Not more than five or six copies of the English edition are now known in England, and for the last century have never sold complete for less than 100 guineas, and would now bring probably 200 guineas. The copy in the Grenville Library is the finest I have seen. " These drawings now offered to the Trustees are no doubt the identical paintings that were copied by DeBry and published in 1590. Beautiful as DeBry's work is, it seems tame in the presence of these original drawings. DeBry copied only about one third of the drawings. Tile rest have never been engraved, though some of them were used in the Florida, and in the third and sixth Parts. There is a volume of White's [perhaps partly Le Mloine's] drawings in tile Sloane Collection (NO 5270) but they are not duplicates of these. A few of them are similar designs. The price of this volume is 200 guineas (~210.) Tile price of the smaller volume, if the other be taken, is 25 guineas (~26 5s. 0d.; together ~236 5s. Od.) The story of the smaller olume is very curious. At the fire at Sothebv's in June, 1865, the drawings were saturated with water, and remained so for three weeks under heavy pressure, which pro15 2206 Bibliotheca l1istorica. duced these remarkable'off-tracts.' I have had them carefully preserved, reversed in the binding and sized, at no little cost of time and money. " I am, Dear Sir, Yours faithfully, HENRY STEVENS.." Such is the brief history of this remarkable book, the only copy of which it is believed that has ever been offered by auction in this country. Its authenticity cannot be doubted. It contains nearly all we know of Raleigh's Old Colonie, which he himself never saw, and which resulted in an entire failure, probably owing to the unfortunate limitation of the enterprise to six years. No such expensive efforts were ever after made by any expedition or Colony to collect such vivid and picturesque material oft the New World, its inhabitants, and natural products. 2488 HERCKMANS (ELIAS) DER ZEE-VAERT LOF Handelende van de gedenckwaerdighste Zee-vaerden met de daeraenklevende op en ondergatghen der Voornaems te Heerschappeijen der gantscher Wereld. In VI Boecken Beschreven. Fsine copy, vellum. Folio, Amsterdam, bij Jacob Pieterss JWachter, 1634 The author of this excessively curious and rare work was Vice-Admiral of the celebrated expedition of the Dutch in 1643, under Admiral Hendrick Brouwer, against the Spaniards of Chili; first printed at Amsterdam in 1646, and three years later forming the 25th Part of the Collection of Hulsius. Brouwer dying on the passage out, the command fell upon HEIRCIKIANS, who was probably the amateur compiler and editor of the various Journals. This Zee Vaer t Lof is an elaborate historical poem in six books in honor of Navigation. All the celebrated voyages of the world from Noah to 1632 are recorded in chronological order. The voyages of discovery, leading up to the discovery of America, are mentioned with considerable detail, and after Columbus are recorded most of the voyages both to the east and the west, especially the expeditions of the Dutch navigators. The voyages to the north are all mentioned in the text and notes. The volume is beautifully illustrated by an engraved title and eighteen exquisite etchings in the text. The one at the beginning of the third book bears the mark of Rembrandt, with the date 1633. 2489 HERNANDES (FRANCISCUS) Francisci Hernandi, Medici atque Historici Philippi II. Hisp. et Indiar.

Hernandes, or the Third Pliny, spent seven years by order of Philip the Second, in active research into the natural history of the plants and animals of New Spain. Shortly after his death his MSS. and Collections were placed in the hands of Dr. Nardo Antonio Ricci, who abridged the MSS. and printed at Rome before 16'28, a large folio volume in Latin, with many wood-cuts. But a copy of a part of his abridgment had somehow found its way back to Mexico in time to be reabrilged and translated into Spanish by Francisco de Ximenes and printed there in 1615. A part of the original collection was burnt with the library of the Escurial in 1671. This edition is not to be compared with the work of Dr. Ricci. This is more of Hernandes without his editors, more correct, with many additions, but wi: hout any illustrations. Had Hernandes lived to edit and publish his own work, as Humboldt and Bonpland did theirs two hundred years later, it is not likely that these two fiiends would have then laid before the public so much that was entirely new to the philosophers of the old world. 2490 HERSCHEL (SIR JOHN, F.

City Librarian, Bristol) The Remarkable Life, Adventures, and Discoveries of Sebastian Cabot, of Bristol, the Founder of Great Britain's Maritime Power, Discoverer of America, and its first Colonizer. Cloth. Portrait and map. 40 London, Sampson Low, CGo. 1869 We confess that we cut the leaves of this beautiful book, firom the Chiswick Press of Whittingham, with an eagerness that has seldom been ours. We read it through. and through, and through, and closed it with a profound disappointment which has never before been ours. We interleaved it delicately with our historic litmus papers and found, to our great regret, that it would scarcely in any part stand the test of impartial criticism. We had long hoped some day to find time, with reverent hands, to mouse round and bring to light some hidden documents in Bristol that might throw light on the Cabots. Mr. Nicholls, as a thorough-going antiquary, has dispelled that hope. He has found nothing in Bristol that properly pertains to that family, and has been compelled to rehash Biddle, Tytler, Humbolot, seasoning the dish with the discoveries of Mr. Rawdon Brown in Venice, and Mr. Bergenroth in Madrid, flavoring the whole with a portrait of Sebastian Cabot, exquisitely engraved by Rawle, and an extract fiom' Sebastian Cabot's Map,' of 1544, now in the Imperial Library at Paris. Mr. Nicholls, as a painstaking chronicler, has used all the ma'erials that the active research of many antiquaries has turned up in the present century, and the result is the above remarkable title-page, and the following passages from his conclusion, on pp. 187, 188: "Even where his [Sebastian Cabot's] ashes lie is a mystery; and he who gave to England a continent, and to Spain an empire, lies in some unknown tomb.".... " This man, who surveyed and depicted thiee thousand miles of a coast which he had discovered; who gave to Britain, not only the continent, hut the untold riches of the deep, in the fisheries of Newfoundland, and the whale fishery of the Arctic Sea; who broke up a monopoly that, vampire-like, was sucking out England's infant strength, and unlocked for her the treasures of the world, saying,'Go, win and then wear them;' who is never reported to have struck an aggressive blow; who made enemies into friends, and whose friends were ever wa Dmly attached to him; who, by his uprightness and fair dealing, raised England's name high among the nations, placed her credit on a solid foundation, and made her citizens respected; who was the father of free trade, and gave us the carrying trade of the world: this man has not a statue in the city that gave him birth, or in the metropolis of the country he so greatly enriched, or a name on the land he discovered. Emphatically, the most scientific seaman of his own or, perhaps, many subsequent ages- one of the gentlest, bravest, best of men - his actions have been misrepresented, his discoveries denied, his deeds ascribed to others, and calumny has flung its filth on his memory." Now, without attempting to become a champion of" Historic Truth," being familiar with all the materials used in compiling this book, and much more of kindred character, we cannot forbear, here, for the want of a better place, to book our earnest protest in behalf of the memory of John Cabot and Christopher Columbus, against such wholesale assumptions. There is no warrant in the documents that Mr. Nicholls has used to justify him in placing Sebastian Cabot on this pedestal. What we know of him is very slight.. It is only by making his hero tell a fiat lie that Mr. Nicholls makes him an Englishman instead of a Venetian, and in the face of the most valuable contemporary papers brought to light by Mr. Rawdon Brown and Mr. Bergenroth, he appropriates honors to the son which rightfully belong to the father, John Cabot. The simple truth is that all those papers of 1.497 and 1498 refer only to John Cabot, and the voyage of 1497. They allude to the larger expedition of 1498 as having gone forth, John Cabot with it, but not vet returned. That Sebastian Cabot was in both voyages there is little doubt, but in a subordinate capacity. As nothing more is heard of John Cabot it is not unlikely that he died during the voyage of 1498, and so his son took comnand - but this is not certain. We have no distinct account of the voyage of 1498, nor have we of any subsequent voyage from England of Sebastian Cabot. If he'surveyed and depicted 3000 miles of a coast,' it must have been in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. In the fall of 1512, having received no further encouragement from Henry VII or VIII, Sebastian Cabot took service under the King of Spain, where he remained for a great number of years, though, perhaps, visiting England occasionally. If he made the voyage of 1517 it' took none effect,' and we have no ac Bibliotheca Historica. 281 count of it. In his old age he returned to England after the death of Holbein. and was made use of in getting up a trading company to Russia, but of this honorable enterprise very little has come down to us of a character to lift him to the high position claimed by the author of this book. Documents may turn up hereafter, justifying in a degree the high encomiums of Mr. Nicholls. but at p esent we know of them not. Nor do we know of any one whose " calumny has flung its filth on his memory." On the page of history, if one finds very little in favor of Sebastian Cabot to raise him far above the level, yet no one has found anything against him. His record, so far as we know it, is honorable. To all intents and purposes Christopher Columbus was the discoverer of America, and is entitled to that honorable distinction. The grand idea of sailing west to find the east was his, and the success was his; let the honor be his. It is true he did not first see the Island of Cape Breton nor the northern coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, yet he pointed out the way to his friend and fellowtownsman, John Cabot. As to the excellent portrait in this book it is a welcome contribution, but it ought perhaps to be explained that what may have been true forty years ago is not true now,' from the original in the possession of Charles Josh IHarford Esq." Nearly 40 years ago the original portrait passed into the hands of Mr. Biddle, it is understood at the cost of ~500, and was brought by him to this country. A good copy was taken and is now preserved in the Massachusetts Historical Society. The original was destroyed by the great fire in Pittsburgh. There appears to be a mistake in ascribing it to IHolbein, as that celebrated painter is now proved to have died before S. Cabot returned to England from Spain. The Latin inscription on the portrait to us seems to point to John Cabot as the first discoverer of the new land [primi inventoris terrse novi] and not to the son Sebastian. As to the extract of the map of Sebastian Cabot which Mr. Nicholls has given, it is difficult to account for the errors that have crept into and all over it. Out of 65 names given in and about the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Nova Scotia, more than 40 of them are misspelled, and several of them hopelessly disguised. The typographical errors and literary slips throughout the book are as unpardonable as they are numerous. They are such as properly belong to the author and not the printer, witness the date 1474 in heading of Chap. III and repeated, the dates 1543 on page 67, &c. &c.
