Google
This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on Hbrary shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

moderate cost, to the present generation a delightful opportonitj of enjoying the
artistic tmth and vigour of Bewick's famous cuts in all their original beauty. The
original blocks were purchased by Mr. Ward's sons and successors, who have now

and all the modem improvements of typography have been enlisted in order to secure
brilliant and effective impressions.
The last volume is prefaced and annotated by Mr. Austin Dobsoh, in whose
hands Bewick's papers and correspondence, together with the original MS. of the
*' Memoir," were placed by the late Miss Isabella Bewick's Executors. The ^' Memoir,"
which was edited by Miss Jane Bewick in 1862, is now printed more completely.

87 KnglisL BIBLE. Matthew. The Byble, whych is all the holy Scripture ;
In whych are contayned the Olde and Newe Testament, truelye and
purely translated into Englishe. By Thomas Matthewe. 15*^7. And
now Imprinted in the Yeare of cure Lorde .M.D.XLIX . . . Imprinted
at London by Thomas Baynalde^ and William Hyll dwelling in Paules
Churcheyeard, sm. folio, block letter ; wanting two leaves of the calendar,
and having the letterpress portion of the title, and the second last leaf, in
facsimile, and the last mended ; otherwise a fine, large, and perfect copy,
in old calf Wylliam Hyll, and Thomas Eaynaldes, 1549 20 0 0
ExcEssnrBLT babb. There is none of tne earlj editions more difficolt to find
approximately perfect than the Raynaldes and Hill Bible of 1549. Although the
letterpress portion of the first title, as well as the second last leaf of the table, is in
fecsimile ; yet everything else is here, indnding all bat two of the preliminary leaves,
the New Testament title, and the colophon on the last leaf. There are probably not
half a dozen copies extant in which those leaves are not missing. The general condition
of the book is also exceptionally good.
88 BIBLE, now lately with greate industry and diligence recognized (after
Mathew's Bible by Edm. Becke), with Tyndale's Notes and Prologues,
folio, black letter, numerous cuts ; very fine copy in brown morocco extra,
gilt edges, by Biviere, extbsmelt rare

Mr. Adam Clarke's copy of this edition was sold for £31. 10<. Gardner's copy
fetched, in 1854, £40. Priced, Thorpe, 1847, £5S. lOs.
This is the " Bug Bihle "- as some persons like faoetionsly to style it, the phrase
'*hngges by night" being nsed in Psalm 91, Terse 6 (instead of ''terror by night*' as
in the aathorised yersion), but the fact is that no single edition of the English Bible was
peculiar in that respect. The phrase re-appeara over and over again from the time of
Tyndale and CoTerdale onwards.
89 BiBLB. The Btble in Englishe, that is, the olde and new Testament,
after the translacion appointed to be read in the Churches, folio, block
letter^ fine copy, brown morocco extra, gilt edges, by Bedford
Imprinted at London in Fletestrete, at the sigr^ of the Sunne,
over agaynst the conduyte, by Edwarde Whitchurche, 1549 55 0 0
This is a remarkably clean copy, picked from seyeral others, with a few letters of
marginal notes in facsimile. Fine and perfect copy of this rare edition of the Bible.
Mr. Lea Wilson, in his invaluable Catalogue of the English Bibles, mentions this reiy
cnrions fact, ** The volume has been evidently printed at two different presses. The
whole of the first part and down to fol. Ixxxvii of the second, and the Apocrypha, are
in a type differing entirely from the rest of the volume, particularly the running titles
and initial letters of all the chapters. In the parts above mentioned, the names of the
Almighty, Lorde, and God, are printed in Boman capitals ; in the latter parts they are
not distinguished in the text."

300 BROWN (James) The Forrester. Edited by John Nisbet. Sixth
edition, 2 vols. 8vo. cloth 1894 2 2 0
" The Compendious character of ' The Forrester " therefore fits it to bacome the
companion of the country gentleman as well as of the timber dealer. Mr. Nisbet is to
be congratulated on the amount of minute pains which he has expended on every point
treated in these two handsome volumes. A good Index and numerous illustrations
render them still more valuable.
" The value of * The Forrester " aa a practical manual of growing and disposing of
timber is extreme.
" Sir Walter Scott's plantations were the delight of his leisure. Any book which, like
* The Forrester/ largely contributes to extending this rustic taste, and there by increasing
the happiness of country-dwellers, is much to be commended. To sit under the trees
which a man himself has planted is to realize one side of Paradise :
** Aureus banc vitam in terris Satumus agebat."

329 Geological Congress at Zurich (The International) 1894
" Without doabt the most important feature of the Coogress was the new inter-
national geological map, which has been under course of preparation in Berlin since
the Congress meeting of 1881, and is now exhibited for the first time. A Keporton its
progress was read by Dr. Hanchecome, of Berlin. The topographical groundwork has
been prepared by Kilpert, to scale 1 : 1 ,500,000 ; the system of geological colouring
followed has been most successful, and the Congress has certainly every reason to l^
satisfied with the result of the co-operation of the various surreys and societies to
produce an international map. The whole map will contain forty-nine sheets ; only six
are now ready for issue, including the North-west part of Europe, Northern Germany,
with parts of France, Belgium, Poland, etc. The next part, to be issued within a year,
will contain ten sheets, and will include Uie British Isles, France, Spain and Portugal,
Italy, and Switzerland. Some difficulty has arisen in regard to the older paleosoio
rocks of yarions districts, and also as to the method of showing the Quaternary beds.
It is now settled that solid rocks, where their distribution is known, will be shown by
thin bands of colour over the general colour for Qoatemary beds.
" The subscription for the entire map is £4, but this can be paid in Instalments as the
various parts are published. The proportion for the first part will be 10s ; and after
December, 1894, the subscription price will be raised." — ^ati«re, September 20th, 1894.

536 Wales. WILKINS (Chas.) History of the Iron and Steel Industry in
Wales, 1 vol. 8vo. 1895 0 12 6
" Giamorganshire, as it is the largest county in Wales, is far and away the most
important, and it stands to reason it should be the one county which ought to have its
history wcdl written. Several writers have attempted to give us the story of Glamorgan-
shire in parts — just a^ it suited their objects and their views — but the only writer who
has attempted to narrate the real development of the county is Mr. Charles Wilkins,
of Merthyr, the man who gave us an admirable account of the rise and progress of his
own town. Some time after Mr. Wilkins told us the story of the rise and progress of
the great coal industry of Wales, in a volume which was remarkably well recdvid by
all classes, not only in South, but also in North, Wales. So well received, indeed, had
those two volumes been, that Mr. Wilkins felt justified in bringing out a companion
volume on the steel industry .of the Frincipiuity, with notices of the leading men
associated and a sketch of the social history of the time. Mr. Wilkins*s new volume
will have interest to readers far beyond those immediately connected wiUi the mining
and iron industries of North and South Wales. As he tells us in his prospectus of the
work, his intention is 'to make it the social and industrial annals of the moet important
districts of Wales, and a work of reference which should be in every home in the
[Principality.' ''—Western Mail, September 29th, 1894.

Ninety-one pages of Index, in treble colamns, with 79 lines to a column, con-

powerful citical faculty, his fitness to investigate and elucidate the ancient mysteries of
mythology, philology, ethnology, and other ologies, many persons speak with reverence
and rapture. But even men of education must admit that Higgins collected a large

BERNARD QUARITCH'S ROUGH LIST, No. 146.
The Dawn of Civilization, (egypt and chald^a.)
By ProfeflBor MASPERO. Edited by the Rev. ProfesBor Satcb. Trans-
lated by M. L. McClvre. With Map and over 470 illwirations, impl.
8?o. eloih boards, 20« 1894
Thk is one of the most important books
ever nndertaken bj the Society for I^no-
moting Christian Knowledge — and maj be
regarded as the book of the Season. It is
a translation of the magnum opus of Pro-
fessor Maspero, " Les Origines." This
volnme, which will appear simultaneously
in Paris, London, and New York, is an
attempt to put together in a lucid and in-
teresting manner all that the monuments
have rerealed to ns concerning the earliest
ciyilization of Egypt and Chaldiea.
The results of archsBologicaldiscoTery in
Egypt and Chaldiea, accumulated during
the last thirty years or so, are of such a
yast and comprehensive character that none
but a master mind could marshal them in
true historical perspective. Professor
Maspero is, perhaps, the only man in
Europe fitted by his laborious researches
and great scholarship to undertake such
a task, and the result of his efforts will
soon be before the world in " The Dawn of
Ciyilization." It will be a lanre volume
of more than 800 pages, and will contain
over 470 illustrations, all expressly en-
graved for the book. The period dealt
with covers the history of Egypt from
the earliest date to the fourteenth dynasty,
and that of Chaldaea during its first
Empire. The aspect of the valleys of
the Nile and the Euphrates, their climate,
their productions, religion, manners and
customs, the organization of their respective
States, their traditions, and all that is known
of their kings and dynasties down to the
twenty-fourth century before our era, will be
dealt with in the volume. The points of
contact with Bible History, if not chrono-
logical, are illustrative. The pictures of
Egyptian life prepare one for entering more
intelligently into the historical portions of
the Pentateuch, while the Chaldsean account
of the Deluge, and the whole religious
system of the early Semites, have striking
resemblances to much that we find in Holy
Scripture. The work is translated by M. L.
McClure, with assistance of other members
of the Committee of the Egypt Exploration
Fund, and edited by Professor Sayce, who
adds a Preface. The book is brought up
to the present year, and takes note of the
most recent discoveries.
The Ancient Nations of Mesopotamia,
recently referred to, are as follows : —
*< This land is no other than the famous
and once beautiful valley of Mesopotamia,
through which the great Euphrates and
arrow-swift Tigris flow to empty themselves
into the Persian Gulf. Almost lost sight
of for awhile, interest in it was re-
awakened some seventy years ago by the
investigations commenced by Mr. Rich, and
followMl up with such wonderful results by
Botta, Place, Layard, George Smith and
others. Their discoveries have revealed to
us in unexpected fulness the details of a
complex and advanced civilization almost,
if not quite, as ancient as the Egyptian, and
far more profoundly interesting, for the
ancient nations of Mesopotamia are the
intellectoal forefathers of the modem
world.
'* The learning of the Chaklees was the
heritage of the Jews and Greeks, from
these the torch was handed on to the
Romans, and Jew and Greek and Roman
inspired, and still inspire, for good and evil,
the civilization of the nineteenth century.
There is much more of the Chaldosan in
every one of ns than we are given to
imagine.
'^ The people who we find in possession
at the dawn of history were Semites, the
parent stock from which the Jews sub-
sequently branched off; and one has but to
glance at their faces and forms, as portrayed
in their statnes and pictures, to recognize
the strong family likeness, while the em-
phasis with which muscular development
is expressed in parts of the human figure
suggests that the remarkable assertion,
* The pride of a young man is in his legs,*
was a Semitic opinion long before the time
of Solomon." — Natwref September 20th,
1894.

The Heimskringla will be complete in 4 vols. The third and fourth

Reader, have yoa ever pored days and
nights over the pages of Snobro ? pro-
bably not, for he wrote in a langoage
whidi few of the present day understand,
and few woald be tempted to read him
tamed down by Latin dragomans. A
brave old book is that of Suorro, containing
the histories and adventures of old northern
kings and champions, who seemed to have
been onite different men, if we may jadgo
from ttie feats which they performed, from
thoee of these days ; one of tiie best of his
histories is that which describes the life of
Harald Haardraade, who, after manifold
adventures by land and sea, now a pirate,
now a mercenary of the Greek emperor,
became king of Norway, and eventually
perished at the battle of Stanford Bridge,
whilst engaged in a gallant onslaugnt
upon England. Now, I have often thought
that the old Kemp, whose mouldering
skull in the golgotha of Hythe my brother
and myself could scarcely lift, must have re-
sembled in one respect at least this Harald,
whom Snorro describes as a great and wise
ruler and a determined leader, dangerous
in battle, of fair presence, and measuring
in height just five ells,* neither more nor
less."— Geo. Bornno'B ''Lomengro;' VoLI,
1851. p. 25.
*« The Stories of the Kiriffs of Nortoay,
called the Round World (Heinulcringla), by
Snorri Stnriuson : done into English out
of the Icelandic by William Monis and
Eiriter Magnusson; vol. I, with a large
map of Norwav (Bernard Quaritch).
These sagos or biographits of the Nor-
wegian kings and heroes down to 1177,
were based by Snorri on the ' Tellings-up
of Forefathers, the olden story-lays whicn
men have had for their joyance, and the
w>ng8 of the Skald-Spillers.' No mytho-
logy is more quaint, more heroic, or fuller
* Norwegian ells
of moral significance, than the Scandinavian.
It is nearly half a century since Lain^
first published his translation of Snom,
although a new edition, revised by Rasmus
B. AndttMin, has appeared much more
recently.^Fhe Saga Library, now being
edited by^L jtforris, a task for which he
is pecnliari^d(tod, cannot fail to revive
and extend ^^iaterest in Skaldic i>oetry.
The effort maTiiave had its origin in the
increasing claim on the world's attention
of modem Norse literature, and may even
result in the uprising of a master-singer
who will interpret Snorri as Tennyson
did Malory.*' — Sidney Morning HemUd.
"The editors of the *Saga Libraiy'
have done wisely to select the 'Heim-
skringla ' for early translation in the series
of which the present volume is the third.
It might, perhaps, with even greater pro-
priety have formed the initial work of the
whole, for, although it is the history of the
kings of Norway, it supplies, in reality,
the broad background that fills in nearly
the whole scene of the Sagas, wherever
their action may be. Even Siose of them
which are specifically Icelandic have,
almost without exception, direct points of
contact with Norway, and are frequently
far more intelligible in the light of the
additional detail furnished by the Sagas of
the kings and earls under whom the
Icelanders constantly served as men-at-
arms and sung as scalds. The intimacy
of this contact and its continuity are
sufiiciently indicated when we remember
that the ' Heimskringla * itself was written
by an Icelander, who collected his material
mainly from sources orally transmitted in
both Iceland and Norway three centuries
after the settlement of the island by Norse-
men."—T/i6 Nation, June 2l8t, 1894.

^^ Seen in Three Days." Sung and seen Seneg. written,
drawn, and tinted by Edwik J. Ellis, 4to. elothy 25« 1893
Under the heading of " MYSTICISM
WITH PEN AND PENCIL," the West-
minster Oazette of September 7th, 1893,
says :— " There are those who love Walt
Whitman down to his minutest manner-
isms, but detest an imitator ; and there are
those whose worship of Blake carries with
it an ntter intolerance of every other
mystic. But Mr. £. J. Ellis is amoni;^
the few who profess to have found the key
to Blake's system ; and if the great vision-
ary's work is to be regarded in that light,
and not at all as a body of wayward poetical
imagery, it is inevitable that disciples
should try to cany that work on, as Mr.
Ellis does in this strange volume. To a
mystic of sympathetic soul, * Seen in Three
Days ' will doubtless be pregnant of mean-
ing : there are many meanings which its
pictured pages suggest even to the com-
plete nninitiate ; indeed, such an one is
tempted to say that there is hardly any-
thing in the heavens or earth or waters
under the earth which he can certainly
affirm that they do not mean. The smooth,
sometime melodious, versification flows on
from page to page, about dreams and
souls and presences divine ; and the mystic
pictures accompany them in keeping ^rith
the key-note vision, Blakesque enougli io
its conception, of twin figures stepping
down a ladder of outstretched wings—
the one, Dumb-show, bandaged as to hia
month ; the other Blind-words, bandaged
as to his eyes. But the average reader
soon begins to feel bandaged all over. Tet
the figures in the pictures are clearly em-
bodied enough. The author has given one
odds by subjecting himself to the aae of
pen and pencil both. However aerial faia
speculations, he has had to clothe them in
what his master called the human form
divine, and the merest tyro at mysticiain
can take pleasure in the fine and expres-
sive drawing of many of the figures. N'o
one, indeed, can make the human body
look as if it were built to fly without wings,
as Blake made it look. But Mr. Ellis's
winged beings are not without a kind of
ffraisemhlcmce of their own. We confess
we should have much preferred the text
in plain print. To dribble it alon^ in
rather untidy manuscript is to handicap
the long-Bufiering reader unnecessarily."

This is a very valuable monograph
dealing not only with the descent of the
Scotch Deer Hound, but also with the
Natural History of the Domestic Dog,
with which the author has incidentally
1891
interwoven various "ethnological theories
relating to the migration of the races.''
It is replete with sporting anecdotes of
Deer Stalking and Deer Driving in various
parts of the world, and forms a necessary
complement to Scrope's and Crealock's
Works on Deer Stalking.

Old M^edgwood
THE ENGLISH RELIEF ART WORK OF THE
XVIIIth CENTURY,
Made by J08IAH WEDGWOOD, at Etruria in Staffordshire, 1760-1796.
BY
The Illustrations are being designed by M. G-eobges Michel Obiyell, who
bas received awards and medals from the Academie Nationale da Commerce
et de rindustrie, and other Societies, for his Art-designs. The Illus-
trations will be drawn from the best known examples in Public and
Private collections.
Messrs. Parbot & Co., the famous Artistic Lithographers in Paris, are
illustrating in facsimile the Choicest Pieces of Old Wedgwood in a new
style of colour printing, reproducing the ori^nals with absolute fidelity.
Mr. P. Rathboke, of South Kensington, London, the well-known expert, is
writing the explanatory text.
I am the sole agent for the sale of this grand work, which will appear in eight
parts, royal folio, with 60 superb Chromo-plates, in the colours of the
originals. The price for the complete book is £3. 8«, payable on delivery.
The fine decorative Art- work known as " Old Wedgwood," altnongh the one English
Ceramic Art of the last centary in which we are without rival, is bat little known even to the
Art-world — ^probably because some of the finest examples are enshrined in private collections.
The words '' Wedgwood Ware /' in this connection, often nsed to describe all Wedgwood, are
misleading, and apply only to articles made for domestic and table use, usually glazed and
decorated, but rarely with ornaments in itself.
Existing books upon the subject treat the two kinds of Wedgwood as one, and, when
illustrated, rely either upon wood-engraving or photography, not always giving even the correct
fonn^never rendering the colour. For example, some tints of the old celadon-i^reen and
lilac are'esteemed the most charming shades of colour ever produced in Ceramics. '* Wedgwood
blue *' is a standard colour in decoration and textile fabrics ; but there are not less than &ve
shades of that colour found in examples of the old period. When we consider the combination
of two and three colours, often found upon some medallions and vases, it will be seen that to do
justice to these fine works the use of colour is imperative.
Oriental Art, Furniture, Sculpture, Tapestry, Missals, Book-binding and other subjects
have been well illustrated in colour, but not Wedgwood. As regards illustrated books it may be
conceded " they order this matter better in France." The artists selected for this work are of
the first rank and have made the drawings for some of the most itnportant books published
daring the last ten years.
It is thought a permanent record of this English Art will be welcomed. The author, who
has been familiar with the subject fjr nearly the number of years Wedgwood occupied in
perfecting his work, hopes to make this a standard work of reference. He proposes to describe
the progress of the art from the inventor's first essays to what is known as *^ the best period."
The Illustrations to be drawn from all available sonnies — to give his readers the benefit of
his experience and knowledge of the subject— to make it a memorial of the worthy and
respected English inventor, whose epitaph justly describes him as one ** Who converted a
rude and inconsiderable manufactory into an elegant art, and an important part of National
CcMnmerce."

The Purchaser of the Large Paper issue binds himself to take the entire Series.
The Large Paper issue consists of 125 numbered copies, printed by hand-
press, on "Whatman Paper at "Wbittingham's Chiswick Press.
It is proposed to publish under the above title a series of translations of
the works of the early literature of the North, produced by tlie Icelanders, in
their present form, mostly in the 13th and first part of the 14th centuries.
These works stand quite alone amongst the writings of the Middle Ages,
and form a school of literature which has very special claims on the attention
of the students of history and the lovers of imaginative writing. These claims
may be briefly stated, thus : — That it is by these means alone that any continuous
record of events in the early history of Scandinavia has been preserved.
The following is a list of the translations which it is intended to publish : —
GUNNLACO'S SaOA. \
The Poetic Edda, 1 vol.
The Pbosb Edda, 1 vol.
The Volsunoa Saoa, 1 vol.
Heimskeinola or Chronicles of the
EiNOB OP Norwat, 4 vols.
The first and second volumes are ready.
The Orkney Saga, 1 vol.

FiNN Karlsefne (being the tale of the
discovery of America in the 10th century),

Frithiof'b Saoa. h I vol.

Stort of Grettir the Strong, 1 vol.
Eoil's Saoa, 1 vol.
Njal 8 Saga, 1 vol.
Saga of the Laxdalers, I vol.
And several others.
" What is likely to prove the most important ' series * of the approaching publishing season
is 'The Saga Library,' on which Mr. Wm. Morris is engaged. With the assistance of Mr.
Eirikr Magnusson, ^1r. Morris is about to bring out a series of translations of early Northern
literature. Those acquainted with what Mr. Morris has already done in this department are
fully alive, not only to the historical and literary importance of the Sagas, but to the charm
with which the poet has invested them in their English garb. The * Story of Grettir the
Strong/ * Yiglund the Fair,' and other Sagas previously published will be included in the Saga
Library, after undergoing revision. The 6r8t volume, however, will be entirely new. It is to
include ' Hen Thorir's Saga,' the < Saga of Howard the Halt,' and the ' Saga of Banded Men.'
That is already in the press, and the * Eyrbyggia Saga,' which will make a volume by itself, is
nearly ready for printing. It will probably be followed by * Heimskringla ; or, Chronicles of the
EjJDgsof Norway,' in three volumes."
" The Saga Library is to be published by Mr. Bernard Quaritch. It will be in post octavo
Tolumes, bound in Roxhurghe style, and t^e edition will be limited to 1000 copies. A large
paper issue, in royal octavo on Whatman paper, will consist of 126 numbered copies." — QUxsgwo
livening ISmeSy September S7tb, 1890.
*' To pass to another Series — one can do little else these days — style, and style so conceived, is
the merit of the Icelandic Sagas put in the forefront of the manifesto of Mr. William Morns
and Mr. Magnusson's new Saga Library to be published by Mr. Quaritch. * Everything ' in
these Sagas of the Middle Ages, ' is told with the least possible expense of words ; and every
word has a definite meaning, and no so-called synonym can supply its place.' That is the last
word on style ; and so genius joins hands across the centuries. It is one of the many claims of
Mr. Morris upon our gratitude that he has done so much to open our eyes to the extent and
value of this Icelandic literature. Its interest for ns northerners is past estimating. For aach
service many a foolish fling at ' Dons ' and Capital, and other estimable institutions, may ba
forgiven."— iSi. James*s Gazette, September 27th, 1890.

Times, September 12th, 1890.
" Mr. Bernard Quaritch has issued this week the magnificent reprint of
Caxton's translation of the Golden Legend, in three quarto volumes. The type
has been specially cut from patterns by Mr. William Morris, who has also
designed the ornamental letters and borders. There are also two full-page

'' Pre<>eminent among reprints and new editions is Mr. Bernard Quaritch's
traly magnificent reproduction of 'The Golden Legend,' as translated by
William Oaxton from the Legenda Aurea of Jacobus de Yoragine. Ocular
evidence alone can conyey a just idea of the elegance of these three large quarto
Yolnmes, which, we are afraid, would have excited the envy of Master Caxton
himself. We can but testify to the judgment and taste of the joint editors
Mr. William Morris and Mr. F. S. Ellis, who, we nnderstand, gave their services
to Mr. Quaritch gratuitously; to the beauty of the ornamental letters and
borders and the general typography, both decoration and type being after
Mr. Morris's designs and patterns ; and to the ezcellenoe of the two full-page
woodcuts contributed by Mr. Bume-Jones." Timei, October 6th, 1892.

THE book is ornamented very richly with woodcut ornaments entirely
designed by William Morris. No labour or expense has been, spared on
them, and they are of great yariety. The semi-Uothic type designed by
Mr. Morris (with special regard to legibility) appears in this book for the first
time.
In 1471 Caxton gave np commerce and attached himself to the Court of
Margaret, Duchess of Burgundy, the sister of Edward IV. At the request of
the Duchess he translated the *' Recueil des Histories de Troyes," written by
Raoul Lefevre, and employed Colard Mansion, of Bruges, to produce it.
As to the matter of the book, it makes a thoroughly amusing story,
instinct with mcdioBval thought and manners. For though written at the end
of the Middle Ages and dealing with classical mythology, it has in it no token
of the coming " Renaissance," but is purely medissval. It is the last issue of
that story of Troy which through the whole of the Middle Ages had such a
hold on men's imaginations ; the story built up from a rumour of the Cyclic
Poets, of the heroic city of Troy defended by Priam with his gallant sons, led
by Hector the preux Chevalier^ beset by the violent and brutal Greeks, who
were looked on as the necessary machinery for bringing about the undeniable
tragedy of the fall of the city. Surely this is well worth reading, if only as a
piece of undiluted Medieevalism.
"WILLIAM MOEEIS
^'Defligns and produces the moat beautiful book ever published."
" Mr. WiUiam Morris, poet, artist, craftsman, printer, showed to a few
friends on Tuesday last an advance copy of his reprint of Caxton's ' Recueil of
the Historyes of Troye.' On looking through it. Dr. Furnivall said enthusias-
tically, ' It's the most beautiful book I ever saw ; it's the most beautiful book
ever printed ! ' Mr. P. S. Ellis, through whose hands every book treasure in
England for the last forty years has passed, cordially agreed in this opinion, and
so did Mr. Emery Walker, the art editor of the English Illustrated Magazine^
and Mr. Theodore Watts, the friends of poets and artists, and poet himself.
" This delightful * Recueil ' volume is in quarto, in a brand-new pica type
designed by Mr. WiUiam Morris, with some of the beautiful borders used by
him in his handsome ' Golden Legend,' with admirably designed capitals and
* weepers ' or side ornaments, all of Mr. Morris's design and drawing, and with
a veiy fine, bold title. The volume is, indeed, a credit to English craftsman-
ship, and assuredly stands at the head of all specimens of typography hitherto
produced.
" For Mr. William Morris's grand folio * Chaucer,' Mr. Bume-Jones is
making fifty large drawings on wood, and the text of which Mr. P. S. Ellis is
preparing from the parallel text issued by the Chaucer Society. Caxton's
* Historye of Reynard the Poxe ' is nearly ready ; and when the grand
' Chaucer ' is done, it will be a magnificent book.
"Notwithstanding the high prices at which the productions of Mr.
Morris's Kelmscott Press are published, buyers are not likelj to suffer from
purchasing them. A new era has dawned in English printing." — The Star.

** Lovers of Chaucer on both sides of the Atlantic will rejoice to hear thai
the artist has made very great progress with a series of designs^ fiity or sixty
in all, which are to be cat in wood under his own superintendence, and intended
to illustrate the ' Canterbury Tales ' and the other poems of Chaucer. These
designs promise to be charmingly graceful and beautiful in execution. Indeed,
-we are confident that since, precisely a hundred years ago, Flaxman, then at
Rome, designed for the first Countess Spencer the famous *' Illustrations to the
Tragedies of ^schylus,' poet and artist have never been better fitted to each
other. The text, to which these designs are adapted will be collated with the
best manuscripts, and carefully editied by Mr. W. Morris and Mr. F. S. Ellis,
the typography wiU be worthy of the occasion, and the volume a stately
qnarto.*'— T^e AtlienoBum, October 22nd, 1892.
Apart from the interest of the book as a noble edition of one of the
greatest English classics, it will attract admiration as a repertory of designs
bj Mr. Bnrne-Jones. To illustrate Chaucer has been with him a more
congenial task than the accomplishment of many a famous painting, and we
shall see in this collection how the genius of a great artist will deal with a
labour of love.

'*In 1844, Agassiz concluded the publication of his gigantic work on the Fossil Fishes,
which appeared at Neuchatel in five quarto volnmes, with 311 folio plates. Eighty of the
greatest museums of Europe had furaished the material for it, and the number of described
apecies amounted to 1700 in about 20,000 examples. The ' Kecherches sur les Poissons Fossiles'
is undoubtedly Agassiz*s most important work, and forms, with Ouvier's and Valenciennes'
* Histoire Naturelle des Poissons' and Johann Miiller's treatises, the foundation of our present
knowledge of fishes, while it does not confine itself to the region of ichlhyolitesi but extends
over the entire wide field of the anatomy and classification of fishes, essentially modifying the
latter. Agassiz considered, and with justice, that the separation of the ganoids from the other
fishes into Uie rank of a special order, as the greatest step towards progress for which science was
indebted to him; and on the basis of the comparison of the fossil fishes of all formations with
living forms, he enunciated several generally yalid laws, which have had an important bearing
OD the development theory of the whole organic world.*' — Nature^ April 24th, 1879.

*' This iine work was the iirst in which the idea of exhibiting the Progress of Art, by
a series of its noblest monuments, was perfectly carried out. By a series of accurate
Engravings from celebrated Monuments, we trace the transitions of Art from the classic
period to oar own times. Sculpture, Painting, and the Art of Illumination ; and the Art of
Engraving on Wood, on Gems and on Medals are similarly represented.
** It is a work that has long been sought and prized by all who could afford the high price
at which only it was to be procured. No Library, Architect, Painter, Sculptor, or any one
connected wiih the Fine Arts, should be without such a work."

Cmz in 1542, he being then the Cosmog-

Charts at Seville. It is entitled "Nova

and bears the imperial arms of Charles V
to whom it is dedicated. It represents the
world as two hemispheres, with the poles as
centres, and is arranged in gores as though
intended for the model of a globe. The
American portion is undoubtedly that which
constitutes the chief interest of the work,
and its importance in that respect is
heightened by the immense number o£

The best and cheapest method of acquiring the Language spoken in Syria, Egypt, Arabia,

'* This ingenious little book deserves the favour with which it has been received ; for the
Author has made a bold attempt to simplify that very complex subject, Arabic Grammar.
The book is strong in Dialogues, to which forty-four pages are given. This is the part of the
book which has found favour with the public ; and the Syrian anthor is here quite at home.
The Dialogues are decidedly good, consisting simply of colloquial sentences on various subjects,
to be learnt by heart, and used as needed. Fikris Ash-Shidy&q ends his book with a vocabulary
containing about 3000 very common, and therefore very useful, words. We can certainly say

be studied so completely as in these records. They are indeed, according to the title, " a Treasury

DESIGNS IN GOLD AND COLOUES of the most
renowned Carpets of the World.
Price to Subscribers, £3 per part, each containing 25 Plates ;
the descriptive text will be issued with the last part.
These Asian Carpet Designs, now in preparation, will
be an exhaustive work, in which an endeavour is being made
to cover the whole known field of early carpet manufacture.
Full particulars will be announced in an early number of the
Journal of Indian Art^ by which time it is hoped that the owners
of carpets remarkable for design and colour will aid by allowing
the reproduction of some of their best examples in this work.
His Highness The Maharaja of Jeypore, with his well-known
liberality, gave his sanction to allow his collection of old Persian
and other carpets to be photographed; 39 examples from this
collection have been received. The whole of the carpets and rugs
(nearly 100) now in the Indian Section, and South Kensington
Museums, have also been photographed. Owners of fine examples
are also most liberally allowing selections from their collections.
An extension of the generous individual help already promised
will render this work both exhaustive and complete. Photographs
of upwards of 150 examples have already been taken, but in order
to include in the work every variety of design, possessors of
carpets are respectfully asked to allow those in their possession
also to be reproduced, so as to make this book the Standard
Work on Asian Carpets. ry^ Griggs

THE MEMORIAL EDITION of the Works of THOMAS
BEWICK, in five volumes, royal 8vo. cloili^ uncut^ may
still be had for £5. 5s 1885-87
The set consists of 5 volumes, royal 8vo. : —
Vols. 1, 11. History of British Birds; Land Birds and Water
Birds, with the woodcuts of the Supplements incorporated
2 vols.
Vol. III. History of Quadrupeds . - - . 1 vol.
Vol IV. ^Esop's Fables 1 vol.
Vol. V. Memoir of Thomas Bewick, written by himself,
with numerous woodcuts prepared for a projected Histor}''
of British Fishes ------ 1 vol.
The appearance of this edition, first announced in 1882, was unavoidedlj
delayed by the deaths, successively, of Mr. Bobebt Waed, the printer, and
Miss Isabella. Bewick, Bewick's only surviving daughter. The original
blocks were purchased by Mr. Ward's sons and successors, who have now
completed the work. Paper expressly prepared for the reception of
woodcuts was used; and all the modem improvements of typography
have been enlisted in order to secure brilliant and elective impressions.
The last volume is prefaced and annotated by Mr. Austin Dobson, in whose
hands Bewick's papers and correspondence, together with the original MS.
of the ** Memoir," were placed by the late Miss Isabella Bewick's Executors.
The ''Memoir," which was edited by Miss Jane Bewick in 1862, is now
printed more completely.
The name of Bewick is, and has been, a household-word in English Homes
since the beginning of the present century. Next to the Bible and the
Common Prayer, no books have been handled with greater veneration than
those illustrated with woodcuts by Bewick. His Birds, Quadrupeds, and
Eables have been affectionately studied and admired by four generations of
English men and women.
As the original editions have become very scarce and very dear this new
MEMORIAL EDITION— ^/itf Jirst one in a collective /orw— gives, at a
comparatively moderate cost, to the present generation a delightful
opportunity of enjoying the artistic truth and vigour of Bewick's famous
cuts in all their original beauty.
Elm Grove Hodsb, Exetsr,
September \2th, ISSfi.
Whilst I am writing, let me congratulate yon upon tho success of the Memorial Edition of
Bewick's Works. The cuts have '^ worked " splendidly (having come out far sharper than they
did in the 1847 edition) and the general appearance of the volume to hand is stnkingly hand-
some. I believe that, in time to come, your edition will be sought after preferably to Si\ others,
excepting, of course, the large paper of the fii'st. Believe me, very truly yours.

hy Bedford William Barret, 1610 62 10 0
ExCESsiTELT RARE. This narrative was issued at a time when the fortunes of the
little colony seemed to be sinking just as Raleip:h's settlement had done. It gires us the
first acconnt of the disastrous expedition of Sir George Summers, Sir Thomas Gates
and Captain Newport in 1609, and their narrow escape by falling in with the Bermudas
or Summer Islands. *' These islands of the Bermudas have e?er been accounted as an
inchaunted pile of rocks, and a desert inhabitation for Divels."
The writer, speaking of the Red Men, says (on p. 9) that "We by way of
marchandizing and trade, doe buy of them the pearles of earth, and sell to them the
pearles of heaven/' a mode of trafHc which he considered most praiseworthy, but which
bears a suspicions resemblance to the celebrated Homeri(f transaction between Glancus
and Diomedes.

As 1 warmly encouraged the inception, and have taken a keen interest in the
progress of the Dictionary, I feel bound to express my opinion that it is one of the
most important aids which has yet been given to the material advancement of India.
As I am continually testing its contents, I can only express my surprise at the
degree of accuracy which Dr. Watt has attained.
Dr. Watt has, in fact, and it is one of the great obligations we owe to him, gutted
and boiled down the colossal and inaccessible official literature of India. For the first
time, an Indian official has at hand all that is practically to be said about any local
product with which he has to deal. — W, T. ThiseUon Dyer.

'* A literary cariosity . . . will be read by many with no inconsiderable interest'*

** A unique production. It is in the style of Sir Walter Scott's lays. The scene is
laid in Spain, and the metre appears to be an imitation of the peculiar provincial poems
of that country . . . there are not a few passages in it that breathe a true poetic spirit."

" Colonel Colomb's vigorous verses have made us acquainted with England two
hundred years ago. In the volume before us he has shown himself an equally capable
guide to the Spain of the Spanish Armada . . . the interest is kept up without flagging,

interest." — Evening Mail.

This, it may be safely said, is the most important work which has appeared in
this country on the Early History of Egypt and Chaldiea. The results of recent
Archasological research in the Valleys of the Nile and Euphrates have been marshalled
in historical perspective in this magnum opus of one of the greatest authorities of oor
time. It covers the history of E^pt down to the XlVth dynasty, and that of
Chaldiea daring the first empire ; and, although the points of connection with Bible
History are not chronological, they are essentially illustrative of the Sacred narrative.
Professor Sayce adds a Preface.
The above work will take its place as a general history of early Oriental Civiliza-
tion on the banks of the Nile, Tigris and Euphrates, and in the conntries which lie
between. — Nature, December 6th, 1 894.

The present may truly be pronounced, in all respects, a magnifi-
cent set of these grand and interesting works, and an ornament to the
finest library ; the large plates are nearly ail bound of the full size,
the impressions of the plates are most brilliant, and of uniform
excellence throughout the work ; the rich burr, which so soon
disappears from the etched plate, is here in all its mellowness and
perfection, and the extraordinary effect of some of the plates cannot be
conceived but upon comparison with a copy in the ordinary state.
It is a thoroughly complete collection of these superb engrayed
works on Rome and its possessions in Italy.
All the early volumes are, in this copy, of the genuine original
Roman edition, with the letterpress belonging to each.
Not only, however, does it comprise the entire Roman issue, but in
order to make this set thoroughly representative, the later publications
of the Piranesi family, produced after their removal to Paris with their
stock of coppers, and existing only in the Paris edition^ have been
added ; — ^the Roman and the additional Parisian volumes thus united
form an absolutely complete set, such as has not appeared in the market
for many years.

It is somewhat strange that Straparola, who in his own day was one of the most
popular of the Italian novelists, should have been so long neglected. In the first twenty
years of its exii>tence the ** Notti " was sixteen times reprinted, a figure which the
** Decamerone " reached only after a lapse of fifty years. Of the excellent French
translation by LouTean and Larivey, the first part of which appeared in 1660, nine
editions were issued before the end of the century. The distinguishing feature of
Straparola is the great variety of subjects treated in the fables. He is well known to
every folk-lorist, seeing that he is regarded as the principa] distributor of Oriental
legends to the later fabulists and story-tellers of Northern and Western Europe.

The gratifying success which attended
the pablication of this work in 1884, and
the fact that it has now become a standard

many improvements and additions to the

that this edition — the last ho will be able

Maspero's Dawn of Civilization :
CHALD^ A AND EGYPT, royal 8vo. many plates, cloth, 20s
1894
"The Society for Promoting Christian
Knowledge must be congratulated on its
public spirited enterprise in producing the
sumptuous English edition, to be issued
simultaneously with the French original,
of Professor Maspero's magnum optt9 on
The Dawn of Citilization, Egypt and
Chaldsea, translated by M. L. Maclnre and
edited by Professor A. H. Sayce. The
volume is beautifully printed and illus-
trated with over 470 illustrations and
plans. In dealing with Egypt, its history.
Its antiquities, and its topography, Professor
Maspero speaks with unrivalled authority.
* Alike as a philologist, a historian, and an
archaeologist,' says Professor Sayce, * he
occupies a foremost place in the annals
of modem knowledge and research. He
possesses that quick apprehension and
fertility of resource without which the
decipherment of ancient texts is impossible,
and he also possesses a sympathy with the
past and a power of realizing it which are
indispensable if we would picture it aright.'
ne is not equally pre-eminent in the field
of ChaldsBan archseology ; but, to quote
Professor Sayce again, * he has thoroughly
studied the latest and best authorities on
the subject, and has weighed their state-
ments with the judgment which comes
from an exhaustive acquaintance with a
similar department of knowledge.' Hence
all who desire to make themselves ac-
quainted with the latest results of research
in these important and novel fields of
inquiry will find in Professor Maspero an
instructor not less attractive than author-
itative. The period dealt with covers the
history of Egypt from the earliest date to
the fourteenth dynasty, and that of Chal-
dsa during its first Empire. The aspect
of the valleys of the Nile and the Euphrates,
their climate, their productions, religion,
manners, and customs, the organization of
their respective States, their traditions, and

ties, are dealt with by a master hand. We
need hardly point out how closely all these

Several of the plates have the merit of
being drawn on a scale which will enable
a workman to see for himself exactly how
our artistic forefathers constructed their
work and afterwards decorated the parts.
The book is indeed eminently practical,
and is likely to exercise some influence in
furthering that revival in domestic archi-
tecture which is so remarkable a feature of
these latter days."— Daily News^ December

the Christians who made use of similar means on their own side, with acuteness and force.

a most valnable acquisition, aiding^ them in their labours and giving to them the only cine to

especially attractive because of its fascinating style and pleasing arrangement, presenting a con-
stant variety of racy anecdote, pithy thought, sound scholarship, and vivid description. Mme.
Blavatskt possesses the happy gift of ▼ei'satility in an eminent degree, and her style is varied to
suit her theme with a graceful ease refreshing to the reader, who is led without weariness from

executed in the best style of art prevalent at the time of its production, perfect as to the number

Only 600 copies printed.
The ancient Gascon family of Brocas still survives in Hampshire and in France. The
earlier part of its story is so closely interwoven with the annals of Edward III, the wars of the
Black Prince, and the times of Richard II, that it forms a valuable supplement to the literature
of English history in the fourteenth century, and will be found highly interesting by many readers ;
even down to the time of Charles II, the Brocases were personages of some distinction, and
their names will be found associated with events of importance. The chief antiquarian interest
of this volume lies, however, in its picture of Aquitaine, under the Plantagenet sovereigns of
England — a subject which is usually studied only in the glimpses afforded by chronicles dealing
with general history.

''As we shall have to indicate dissent in some respects from the opinions, and to criticize the
methods, of Mr. Ellis and Mr. Yeats, let as begin hy saying that their book on Blake is the
greatest benefit yet bestowed on those students of a genius as wonderful as it was eccentric, who
haye neither the money to spend on costly originals, and not much less costly facsimiles, nor the
time to spend in public libraries and museums . . . We repeat that the editors have done remark-
ably good work. And as the edition is limited, we very strongly advise knyone who has three or
four pounds to spare, and feels some interest in Blake, to secure a copy of it. He will obtain for
his money divers qnite new things, and a fuller and more orderly presentation of things not new.
The chief of the first class are, first, the singular satirical rhapsody of * The Island of the Moon,*
one of the earliest, and, secondly, the hitherto unpublished prophetic book of * Vala,' in part one
of the last, of Blake's works . . . We have here the prophetic books, unooloured and sometimea
reduced in scale, but produced by lithography in a numner which we must pronounce very
satisfiurtory." — iSoturday Bcm'mo, February 4th, 1893.
" ' On the day of his death,' quotes Giichrist,the biographer of William Blake, ' he composed
and uttered songs to his Maker, so sweetly to the ear of his Catherine that, when she stood to
bear him, he, looking upon her most affectionately, said : ** My beloved I they are not mifM, No \
they are not mine ! "' It is interesting to find, in the splendid ' Works of William Blake,' by
£. J. Ellis and W. B. Yeats (just published by Mr. Bernard Quaritch), that Blake often extem-
porized music to his songs in the freedom of social life : * We would give much now for a single
note of these melodies. It is said that musicians were present who actually took down the airs,
but valuable as the merest scraps of such records would be to-day, they must be considered as
hopelessly lost One result remains at least The i«ader of Blake's mystic poems is able to
believe that, when he finds music spoken of, it is not allnded to for mere literary effect Blake
was really what too many poets are called by mere courtesy and conventionality — a bard. He
himself claimed the title. The talent never left him. It was his last source of happiness on his
death bed.' Time must tell whether the records of Blake's extemporized music are ' hopelessly
lost.' There is no need to despair. What would one give for a few phrases of song from the
wonderful man who wrote, in a barren age of English poetry, * The Songs of Innocence and
Experience ' ? " — Joseph Bbivnktt, in an article ** Music of the Day. ' — J)a*t/y Telegraph,
FebmaiT 4th, 1893.
'* William Blake, artist and mystic, neglected and misunderstood in his life, and never fully
interpreted since his death, seems now at last likely to obtain his proper measure of appreciation
and mterpretation. As we shall take another opportunity of examining at length the very
elaborate and beautiful work, in three volumes, entiUed ' The Works of William Blske, Poetic,
Symbolic, and Critical, Edited, with Lithographs of the Illustrated ** Prophetic Books " and a
Memoir, by Edward John Ellis and William Butler Yeats ' (Bernard Quaritch), we may content
ourselves for the present with recording its appearance and saying that, in the opinion of its
editors, * it is now within the competence of anyone to prove for himsdf not only that Blake
never wrote a page without a distinct meaning, but to perceive the place of every symbolic utter-
ance as an ordered portion of a great mythic system. This not only removes from the path of
every reader of poetry a difiicnlty that threatened to remain for ever ; it replaces it by a new
pleasure. What was supposed to be the confusion of a disordered mind is seen to be an instrument
of thought which no mind can employ without feeling delight and obtaining strength.* This is
a large claim, and, for the present, we must be content to record it without attempting to criticize
it" — Times, January 19th, 1893.
*' We have just seen the proof-sheets of what will be one of the most remarkable books pub-
lished during 1893. It is the mystic writings of William Blake, poet and artist. The volumes
(there are three) are edited by Messrs. E. Ellis and W. B. Yeau, the young Irish poet These
Smtlemen have discovered a long and hitherto unknown poem, called * Ym,* among some of
lake's papers in the possession of Mr. John Linnell. The small paper edition will be published
at three guineas and limited to 500 copies. The large paper edition will consist of 150 copies.
The book contains the text of Blake's mystical poems, with copious notes, and an exposition of
Blake's system. It is very richly illustrated with Blake's own illustrations, many of which have
not seen the light before, and with facsimiles of some of his mannscript The editors claim to
have added to the world*s wealth a mystic writer as great as Jacob Bohme and greater than
Swedenborg. ♦ ♦ *
" Jacob Bohme was introduced to English readers by William Law, author of the famous
Serious Call.' Both* his writings and Bohme's had a great influence over John Wesley's life
and religions opinions. This new mystic work is expected during the present week. It will be
publbh^ by one of our most enterprising publishers, Mr. Bernard Quaritch. It will be for the
upper ten inteUectually, but caviar* to the general. None the less, there is sure to be a great
demand for it, as the edition is so small, and first editions of curious books are at present in great
request"— T/ie Methodiit Times, January 6th, 1893.

Collation : Pages 1-54, title included. This copy has the complete series of both works: the
Songs of Innocence and the Songs of Experience ; they contain the best known things that were
composed by the Genius who wrote and drew with such marvellous fancy and power. The text and
illustrations are engraved together, and it is curious to observe how this strange workman combined
technical skill and calligraphic excellence, with a weird play of imagination, a subtle and exquisite
sensibility, and a childlike simplicity of expression, mysterious and sublime in its charm, — that have
never been excelled or even rivalled.

illustrations entirely engraved and beautifully coloured by the hand of the Artist
himself, large and fine copies, olive morocco extra, gilt edges, by Hering, £8$
1789.93
Two of the rarest and oveliest of Blake's extraordinary compositions, and also amongst the
most important of his titles to a high place in imaginative poetry. This volume fetched, 1881, at Christie's,
£8$, and was priced by the dealer who bought it /105.
"The designs to the Visions of the Daughters of Albion are magnificent in energy and portentious-
ness. — ^The title-page is of great beauty ; the words are written over rainbow and cloud, from the centre
of which emerges an old man in fire, other figures floating round." **The Book of Thel is a strange
mystical allegory, full of tender beauty and enigmatical meaning. — It is equal in delightfulness to Blake's
lyrical poetry ; and being the most tender and simple of the class to which it belongs, may prove the
most generally acceptable." — Gilchrist's Life of Blake.
The Visions deals, as Mr. Gilchrist says, with " formidable moral (Questions "—that is, the existence
of love and lust, the relations of man and woman, and the hollow mockeries of social decorum.

This is a well-deserved tribute to their care and skill." — Athenaum.

from a choice copy in the British Museum, vellum, £6. 6s
" The ' Songs of Experience ' is as nearly as possible right as a facsimile ; the rendering of
Blake's own colour, with touches of gold here and there, as in ' The Fly/ is just and pure. ' The Sick
Rose ' is only inferior (we might almost say not inferior) to the original. The same may be said for ' The
Littie Girl Found,' 'The Tyger.' *A Little Boy Lost,' 'A Little Girl Lost,' and 'The School Boy/
which begins with —
' I love to rise on a summer morn.
When the birds sing on every tree
The distant huntsman winds his horn,
And the sky-lark sings with me,
O ! what sweet company ! ' "

draughtsman of very choice skill could furnish a better copy of the whole work than that before us. The
reproduction of the outlines is simply perfect ; the colours are repeated with vigour and delicacy, and
lack only some of the purity of Blake's own handiwork. The process of colouring such copies by hand
IS the only one which promises fortunate results." — Athenaum, August i6th. 1884.

" The exact extent of hand-work in Blake's poems and poetic books is still a problem. The
marvellous designs in the fine copy of ' The Song of Los ' in the British Museum greatly exercised the
criticism of D. G. Rossetti ; they could not, he admitted, be absolutely the work of BkUce's hand ; yet he
was unable to detect the auxiliary process employed by the artist. When Mr. Muir undertakes ' The
Song of Los,* we trust that he and his able fellow-labourers will consult the British Museum example." —

Bodleian Facsimiles of Incunabula : edited by
E. W. B. Nicholson, Esq., Bodley's Librarian, Oxford. 1892-93
1. Cazton or Wynken do Worde, Ars Horiendi that is to saye the craft for to
deye for the helthe of manneB sowle, Is Qd
This treatise, coosistiog of 16 pp. small qaarto, is No. 97 in the second edition of Mr. Blades's
" Biography and Typography of William Caxton/' where it is fully described. It has no
printer's name, date, or place, but is in Caxton's No. 6 type, with four lines of heading at the
oeginning, and some head-lines at the end, in the No. 1 type of Wynken de Worde, Caxton^s
workman and successor, and is conjocturally assigned by Mr. Blades to the year 1491.
It " appears to be a translation frbm the Latin, and doubtless by Caxton himself," who was
the author of others of the translations which ho printed. Bat it does not agree with any of the
three differant printed Latin treatises bearing the title of Ars tiiort«tidi which are in the Bodleian.
The copy is perfect, and no other copy or fragment of one appears to be known.
The treatise was reprinted br Mr. Blades in 1S69, but only to the number of fifty-four
copies, and not in facsimile.
2. Ordine Delia Solennissima processione fatta dal sommo pontifice neW alma
citta di Boma, per la felicissima noua della destruttione della setta
YgoDotana eon la inscrittione posta sopra la porta della Chiesa di S. Luigi
in YD panno di seta pauonazza a letere d*oro maiuscole. In Roma, per gli
Heredi d* Antonio Btado Impreasori Camerali, Is 1572
The Massacre of S. Bartholomew's Day took place before sunrise on August 24th, 1572,
and the Thanksgiving which this rare tract describes was held on September 8th. The fact that
the account here contained was printed at Rome itself, by the *' Impressori Camerali,*' and within
at most a few months— perhaps within a few days — of the Thanksgiving, confers on it an excep-
tional historical value.
The pamphlet consists of 4 pp. small quarto. The body of the account is in Italian, the
lengthy inscription in Latin, and the prayers said in the church of San Lodovico in Latin also.
Branet describes it as '* Pi^ce fort rare.'* Both he and Qraesse only mention the copy sold
(for £3) at the Butler sale, and this is the Bodleian copy.
The pamphlet was reprinted, from the Bodleian copy, in 1877, by C P. Stewart in his
*' Vatican influence under Pius V and Gregory XIII " — but not in facsimile.
8. COLUHBUS'S LETTER, one of the 1498 editions, the same described in
Harrisse Bibl. Amer. pp. 22-3. One of 4 known copies (of which 2 are
in Bodley), 8 pp. 4to. tu>o of them with tooodcuts, price 1«.
Only four copies are known. This edition, like the pictorial one (printed at Basel), was
undoubtedly a reprint of the first Roman, or thirty-four line edition, and must have followed it
within a month or two. In the meanwhile Planck had produced his second or corrected edition
(thirty-three lines to the page).
4. Caxton's Advertisement. One of 2 known copies, price 6(/.
The British Museum does not possess an original of either of the above.
<* Mr. K. W. B. Nicholson, Bodley's Librarian, has alwars shown a most laudable anxiety to
make the literary treasures of the Bodleian useful to the largest possible number of people.
He has commenced the issue of photog^phic facaimiUs of some of the rarities, and two numbers
have been published at a cheap price by Mr. Bernard Quaritch. The first is the Art Moriendi,
that ciffious and unique English treatise on the 'Craft for to deye for the heltlie of mannes
sowJe' which was printed about 1491, and of which one copy only has survived. The other is
the Ordine of the Papal procession at Rome in 1572 to celebrate the infamous Massacre of Saint
Bartholomew, or, as tne Italian writer of the tract puts it, for * the happ^ news of the destruction
o£ the Huguenot sect' Mr. Nicholson has put a brief preface to each issue, but does not enter
upon any elaborate examination, the intention of the series being to put materials in the hands
of students and to leave them to work out their own conclusions. ' — Manclvesier (Tuordian,

J. G. Bakeb, Esq., f.b.s., etc., and an entirely new coloured map showing the
distribution of British Plants, thick 8vo. xlvii and 612 pp. cloth, 12# 1838
The first edition, privately printed at Thames Ditton in 1873, having become Ytry rare, this
one has been edited from the Author's interleaved copv, which he kept constantly at hand, and
entered all records of the occurrence of plants in additional vice-counties that came to his notice.
'' Those interested in British botany will feel thankful to the publisher for undertaking
its publication.
*' It would be difficult to find a work which has been looked forward to with more anxiety
than this new edition of * Topographical Botany ; ' difficult, too, to find a book which more
thoroughly fulfils the anticipations formed of it. That these anticipations were high it is
unnecessary to assert. In the whole range of British botanists it would have been impossible to
find two so well fitted for the task of editing the work as those whose names are attached to the
short preface with which it opens. United to Mr. Watson by strong ties of personal friendship,
Mr. Baker and the Rev. W. \V. Newbould are otherwise singularly well adapted to carry on his
work, possessing, as they do respectively, the faculty of generalization and the critical mind
which were combined in Mr. Watson with such happy results.
" The evidences of care and steady work may be traced on every page. The segregates
have received much attention — B4iiiMgncul'va aquaiilis^ for instance, represented by only 3 iu the
Ist edition, has here 10 placed under it. Prof. Babington contributes the distribution of the
frnticose RviA ; the Roses remain much as before. Detailed distribution of the Callitriches is
given, 6 species being enumerated. The Hisracia have received much attention, no fewer than 20
segregates beineadd^. QaUnsogaparvifiora'w inserted as naturalized in Surrey and Middlesex.

Like Shakespeare, Homer, Milton, Virgil, Dante^ and Cervantes, Camoens
has his votaries throughout the world. One of the master-minds which have
stamped literature with the seal of imperishable genius, his eultus is not confined
to the land that gave him birth nor to the geographical limits of the Portuguese
Language. In many countries translators have endeavoured to reproduce the
poetry of the Lusiads ; and in our tongue there exist numerous versions more or
less faithful and ambitious. In 1655, ISir Richard Fanshaw began the series, con-
tinued in Mickle, Musgrave, Adamson, Quillinan, Hewitt, Duff, and Aubertins
and now worthily closed by one superior to them all. Captain Burton's work is
of peculiar value for several reasons. He was attracted to Camoens by a
powerful sympathy, arising from a certain similarity in the lives of the two men
and in their modes of thought ; and for twenty years of travel and exploration
he made the Lusiads his constant companion, drinking in, as it were, the life
and spirit of his master, with whom he completely identified himself. His g;reat
mastery of the English language has enabled him to overcome the difficulties of
exact and verbal reproduction, without losing the sweetness and perfume of the
poetry. In fact, only an enthusiastic worshipper, endowed with extraordinary
gifts, could have sustained the toil of such a feat, borne unflaggingly and success-
fully to the end. A few archaisms appear in the translation which, so far from
seeming out of place, rather heighten the force and effect of the English poem.
It is a work which amply justifies Lady Burton's energetic admiration, and must

One of the most magnificent books on the Art-Monuments of Spain, and probably raperior
to any other in the accuracy and learning of its author. The series of illustrations was selected
from works of art which were excellent by reason of their historical character or the beaaty of
their execution. Only 275 copies were printed, of which about 150 were absorbed by subscriberft
amongst the aristocracy of Spain. The book may therefore be regarded as virtually nnpublishedy
and as likely before long, in consequence of its intrinsic worth and the short supply of copies, to
become a costly rarity.
** His great work, the 'Iconografia Espafiola,' published in 1863 and 1864, contains aeventy-
fonr ' portraits, statues, and mausoleums,' dating * from the eleyenth to the seventeenth centuries.'
Not only the original drawings, but the text in Spanish and French, were his own work.
Amongst the gems of this collection may be named the bas<reliefs of Charles Y and his
Empress, attributed by Cean Bermudez to Pompeo Leoni, and now in the Museum at Madrid;
portraits of Philip Il'wben young, and in his old age ; the unhappy Don Carlos, Don Juan de
Austria, Philip's wires, and the famous ' one-eyed' Princess of Eboli. That of Heman Cort^
is exquisitely finished. He executed several copies of portraits after Goya, which have never
been published, notably that of the famous Andalusian beauty ' La Duquesa de Alva.' The
mantilla, maja jacket, short black lace dress, silk stockings, and high-heeled shoes indicate the
provincial costume of the * duchess of the period ' to perfection. That of Maria Luisa, the less
oeautiful and austere wife of Charles III, indicates Goya's character. He seems never to^havo
flattered his sitters, even when nature had been gracious to them. Maria Luisa de Borbon,
Duchess of San Fernando, figures in an empire dress, with a head-gear of feathers ; and albeit
nature had forgotten to favour her, the wayward artist painted her as she lived, plain and
dowdy." — AthenoBwn, April lOth, 1880.

This is considered by all competent critics to be the best of all the English translations of
the great Spanish romance. The life of Cervantes by Mr. Watts, which forms the first volume,
is a masterpiece, based throughout upon sound historical research. The Index which terminates
the work, is most exhaustive, and is the only complete Index ever added to any English edition

BEING A COLLECTION OF
©ne pnndrsd ctnd TMrty Fnll-Page Plaiss
EKECilTEQ m PHOTOGBAVtIHE.
WITH EXPLANATORY AND DESCRIPTIVE TEXT BY
2 vols, folio, cloth. Published at £6, 6s, reduced to £2. 2s.
N issuing this work, the publishers are placing before the public,
for the first time, a thorough, complete, and absolutely reliable
history and description of the grandest Christian temples and
greatest achievements of architecture and art in the world.
No similar publication has ever appeared either here or in
Europe, as heretofore the works on this subject have been
designed expressly for architects, and filled with dry, detailed
descriptions, couched in technical terms, unintelligible to the
ordinary reader.
The present work is intended for the public. It appeals to the
connoisseur, the student, and the general reader, being at the
same time a sumptuous art collection, a work of reference, and an educator, — an
ornament to the gallery or drawing-room, and a necessity to the library or study.
The following is the plan of publication : —
The collection is complete in twenty-six sections (12 x 17 inches in size), each containing
five magnificent, full-page photogravures, and twelve pages of text.
The photogravures illustrate the exteriors and interiors of the cathedrals, together with all
the marvels of art — tombs, monuments, altars, shrines, pictures, statues, etc. — that they contain.
These photogravures are not made from drawinc^s or sketches, but from negatives made
expressly for this work, during the summer of 1886, by the leading photographers of Europe ;
and, while highly artistic, show the buildings exactly as they exist to-day.
The text is from the pen of the Rev. Fred H. Allen, who spent many months in Europe
obtaining material for the same ; all historical statements, dates, etc., being given on the authority
of the official records contained in the Chapter Houses of the Cathedrals. This text is purely
histoncal and descriptive, and does not contain one line of sectarian matter to offend either
Catholic or Protestant.
The Cathedrals chosen for representation are the finest in the world, many of them well
known, — but some remote from the beaten paths of European travel, and hence rarely seen.

** Since the year 1802, when the second edition of Pinkerton*8 'Medallic History of
England to the Bevolution ' was published, no general work has appeared on English
Medals.
'' The want of n more carefnl and complete treatise on this important subject has
long been felt, and in some measure to meet this want is the object of the present pub-
lication. It contains descriptions of all medals at present known that illustrate the
history of Great Britain and Ireland to the end of the reign of George II, whether struck
in this country or abroad, whether relating to public events or private persons, and
whether contemporary or executed at a later date. It is, in fact, an attempt to provide
the English student, though in a less ambitious form, with materials for the history of
his own country similar to those furnished for the low Countries by the works of
Van Mleris, Van Loon, and their continuatora.
*'Each medal is described in detail, the legends being translated, literally, so far as
the errors of the encravers, the arbitrary constructions, and the difficult allusions con-
tained in some of them, would admit. The metal or metals are stated in which each
medal occurs, and its size is giyen in inches and tenths. References are made to works
in which the medals are illustrated, and collections are cited in which the rarer examples are
lo be found. Such historical observations as seemed necessary have been added.*'— Pr«/ae#.

Vol. II (Hosea to Macoibees), £9. ; vol. Ill (Psalms to Ecclesiasticus), £5. \
Vol. IV (New Testament) (sells £7.) £6.
^* With the modern processes of photography at their command, the trustees of the
British Museum have reproduced, by the best possible method, this invaluable Codex. The
volume of the New Testament was issued in 1879 \ and, since then, have appeared in
succession the three volumes into which the Old Testament is divided. The entire
manuscript consists of upwards of 1500 pages.
'* The title of this andent Greek manuscript of the Bible, which is by common consent
ascribed to the fifth century, is derived from the fact that it belonged to the Patriarchal
Chamber of Alexandria as far back as the beginning of the 14th century, as appears from a
note in Arabic of that period inscribed on the first page of Genesis. Another note, also in
Arabic of the same time, records the ti-aditiou that the nianuncript was written hy the-
band of the martyr Thecla — a tradition, however, which need not be seriously considered.
Whether the Codex was preserved at Alexandria earlier than the 14th century there ia
nothing to show ; but the evidence of some of the writing points to an Egyptian origiu, and
we may assume that no city of Egypt would be more likely than Alexandria to be its
birthplace. When Cyril Luoar, Patriarch of Alexandria, was promoted to Constsntinople,
in 1621, he took the manuscript with him, and presented it, through our Ambassador, Sir
Thomas Roe, as a gift to King Charles I, in 1687. From that date it remained in the
Royal Library, until 1 757, when it was transferred with the rest of the Royal manuscripts
to the newly-founded British Museum.
" The autotype edition which is now completed is an excellent one, faithfully repro-
ducing the manuscript, page for page, in full size. At a comparatively moderate cost this-
true likeness of the Codex Alezandrinu* will find its way to the difierent libraries of Europe-
and America and be welcomed as the best possible representative of the original.'^ —

"A very admirable book." — Saturday Review, September 11 th, 1886.
*'The trustees of the British Museum have issued a descriptive and historical
catalogue of Japanese and Chinese paintings in the national collection. The collection,
although comprising representative specimens of all the various schools, must be regarded
as Mr. Anderson tells us, only as a nucleus, to which it is hoped large additions
will hereafter be made. The written documents of the eighth and ninth century, which
comprise the oldest known records of the Japanese, make no allusion to the existence of
any phase of pictorial art before the fifth century, a.d., although very ancient dates are
assigned to some other branches of art. The author of this learned catalogue thinks that
the connection between India and Japan in Buddhist art is beyond doubt, but there equal
certainty that it was established entirely through the intermediation of China and
Korea ; ' for altiiough Indian priests have from time to time settled in Japan, one as early
as A.D. 737, there is no evidence of the arrival of any artist from that country, nor are
there any specimens of Indian art preserved in Japan that are likely to have made any
impression upon the possessors of such f^emB as the Horinji mural painting and the
sculptures of the TwoDcYa Kings at Kobukuji.* " — Evening News, August 14th, 1886.

This book is not written so much for the experienced ornithologist, who should be familiar
with most of its contents, as for those two lar^^e classes — the sportsmen and tha*>e who love to
study birds in their haunts. The first will find in these pages short life histories of the birds they
are accustomed to shoot along the coasts or on the prairies, and by the lakes and rivers of onr
continent, a well as the means by which each species procured can be readily identified ; while
the second class, as they wander along the beai'hes, or banks of stream, or even in some instances
over the prairies carpeted with flowers, may learn to know and recognize the fi&iry-like creatures
that are introduced to them in this book, as they witness them flitting on light and graceful wing
OTcr the landscape.
In no senne can anything that has been written be regarded as a scientific triiatise ; on the
contrary, all scientific terms and phraseology have been, as far as possible, carefully avoided,
while the descriptions of the birds and the accoums of their habits have been wiiiicu tu the
befct of the author's ability in language " undcrstanded of the people."

London, February^ 1895, ' ' ^
The printing and posting of my Rough Lists is a considerable expense to me.
I therefore appeal to the recipients to favour me occasionally with an order ^
otherwise the sending of these Catalogues must be suspended. — B. Q.

B. Q. is an Agent for the sale of the Publications of the British Museunii

Sartees, and many other Societies, English and Foreign,
London, 15 Piccadilly, 1895.
To Book Lovers
IN ALL PARTS OF THE WORLD.
T AM desirous of becoming recognized as their London Agent by all
men outside of England who want books. The need of snch an agent
is frequently felt abroad by the heads of literary institutions^ librarians^
and book-lovers generally. They shrink from giving trouble to a book-
seller in matters which require more attention and effort than the mere
furnishing of some specific article in his stock ; and they must often wish
that it were possible to have the services of a man of ability and experi-
ence at their constant command. Such services I freely offer to any
one who chooses to employ them ; no fee is required to obtain them; and
not a fraction will be added to the cost of the supplies. The friendly
confidence which is necessarily extended to one's agent at a distance will
undoubtedly in time bring an ample return for my labours; but so far as
the present is concerned^ I ask for nothing but the pleasure of attending
to the wants of those who are as yet without an agent in London.
Whether the books to be procured through my intervention be rare or
common, single items or groups, tlie gems of literature and art, or the
popular books of the day, — ^I shall be happy to work in every way for
book-lovers of every degree. Commissions of any kind maybe entrusted
to me ; I will venture to guarantee satisfaction in every case, even in the
delicate matter of getting books appropriately bound. It may likewise be
well to state that my offer of agency extends to the selling of foreign
books here, as well as to the supply of English books hence.

Bevedor. XArib, and Cosa. Xei prove that, in the Castilian of 1500, the letter
X had the sound of English Sh.
Ombre. Rajil proves that the letter J in Castilian had the sound of English J.
Of the Arabic letters, Pedro de Alcala says there were only four of which the
sounds did not exist in Castilian. Those four were the kha, the tha, the thai, and
the ain; the first of them being the modem Spanish J, the second, the modem
Spanish Z. Thus the two most characteristic sounds in the modern Spanish
language were unknown to educated Castillans in the early part of the sixteenth
century ; and two other sounds (as much used by Spaniards formerly as by Italians
now) have utterly passed away, or survive only in Catalan speech.

is not. There is probably matter in it to correct Zurita's text in severiJ places ; as

. The Chevalier Deliber6 of Olivier de la Marche was translated b^ Charles V, in
secret, into Spanish prose. He handed his work over to Acuila, with the request
that the latter would improve it into Castilian verse and say nothing about the labour
of the monarch. The poem became a great success, partly because of the woodcuts
in the first and succeeding editions. It was rare in 1591, and Muretus took care that
the Plantin edition should be an ouvrage de luxe, finely printed on stout paper, with
handsome copperplate illustrations.

the Scdvd library Sevilla, 1491 40 O O
This great book, in its admirable and nervous prose written between 1256 and
1265, is in itself the sufficient reason which accounts for the triumph of the Castilian
language over all its rivals in the peninsula. It was not only, as Ticknor calls it, ** far
the most important legislative monument of its age " ; it was also the first modem
Code of Laws in a vernacular tongue, and has remained a living power to the present
time in every land in which Spanish is spoken. It is said that a different edition
was printed two months earlier in the same city. Brunet speaks of such an edition,
but assigns it to the four printers who produced this one ; Gallardo also mentions it,
but assigns it to the press of Ungut and Lan^alao Polono in Sevilla. Neither biblio-
gitipher specifies the copy he has seen, and Gallardo makes no mention at all of the
December edition. Both those writers, and Salv& too, had no other knowledge of the
matter probably than they could derive from Mendez. In the midst of this obscurity,
only one fact is dear : the extraordinary rarity of the edition (or editions) of 1491, in
which year the book was printed for the first time.

Unique. The first edition of the famous Amadis was utterly
unknown till this single extant copy was discovered at Ferrara in
1872, and sold by Tross to Baron Seillidre for 10,000 fr. I have been
told that a second (but imperfect) copy exists, but I am unable to
discover where.
The authorship of the romance — which is undoubtedly an imitation
of the Lancelot — and the date of it€ composition^ have not been
satisfactorily ascertained. The details, so far as known, may be
tabulated here : —
A.D. 1350. The romance of Amadis was known in Castile, as proved by the
fact that on or about
1360, Pero Ferrus (bom about 1325-30) in a poem printed in Baena
(Cancionero) addresses Pero Lopez de Ayala, recommending
him to follow the example of Amadis, whose deeds of chivalry
are contained in three hooks. (When Gai*cirodrigaez de Mental vo
was preparing his edition of the four books, about 1490-1500,
there were only known, he states, three books ; and the foarth
was a new discovery — i.e. his own composition.) To confirm
and establish the fact suggested by Feiras, it is shown that,
about
1367-70, Pero Lopez de Ayala mentions the Amadis and the Lancelot in
his poem el Bimado de Palacio as having been a fruitless stud}'
of his youth. That implies that the Amadis was popular about
1350.
1403 is the date of the death of Vasco de Lobeira, a Portuguese knight
(knighted in 1385), to whom by all Portuguese writers and by
most others the authorship of the Amadis is ascribed, notwith-
standing the circumstances that no Portuguese text has ever
been seen, and that Lobeira was born about 1360 — too late for
him to have been the author of the Amadis in three hooks, known
in Castile about 1360. The earliest assertion of Lobeira*s
authorship was made about
1454, when Gomez Eannes de Azurara, the faithful chronicler of
Portugal, mentioned it as a fact discreditable to Lobeira that he
coined the Amadis romance from his imagiuation in the reign
(1367-83) of King Fernan. This is irrefi-agable proof that a
Portuguese Amadis was in existence in 1450.
1490. Alfonso of Portugal ("el senor infante Don Alfonso de Portugal ")
married Dona Isabel Infanta of Castile, and died the same year.
Great rejoicings took place at Seville and Evora; one of the
most conspicuous persons at Evora being Dona Briolania
Anrriquez (whose name is suggestive in this connexion). The
prince was almost certainly the Alfonso referred to in the next
paragraph ; although people usually suppose that Alfonso, a
natural son of John I of Portugual, was the man (about 1390).
1494. Garci- Rodriguez de Mental vo was at work about this time on his
Castilian Ainadis. In book J, cap. 40, he narrates how Amadis
preserved his chastity against the importunate love of Briolana ;
and then states that pity for the lady's disappointment had
caused the Infante Alfonso of Portugal to order a modification
in the story at this part so as to gratify Briolana without
detriment to the conscientious scruples of the hero. ** But I,''
he pursues, ** tell the history truly : Briolana gave up her
desire, and had no child by Amadis.'* — The Alfonso mentioned
cannot have been the Affouso of 1390, because, if the Portuguese
book of that period were still in existence in 1490-94, Mental vo
10 BERNARD QUARITCH'S BIBLIOTHECA HISPANA.
would have known nothing abont the little love cajse in
question. A matter like that, referred to in 1494, could only
hare been a personal reminiscence on the part of Garci-Rodriguez
de Montalvo, and shows that he may have encountered in 1490
the Affonso who was married and died in that year.
1502. Isabel la Catolica died. Garci-Rodriguez had fioished his work
before or by this date.
Conclusion : The Amadis in three books, current in the peninsula,
in 1350, was probably in verse, whether its language was Castilian or
Limosin. Vasco de Lobeira reduced it to Portuguese prose about 1400,
and (although we have no trace of such a thing) we may conjecture
that someone else worked it into Castilian prose quite as soon. All
such texts are lost now, but they all pi*obably existed in 1490, and
Garci-Rodriguez do Montalvo made use of them to re -write the three
books in the language of his own period. He then added the fourth
from materials adapted and improved by himself. He states in
the preface that he corrected the vitiated text of the three books, that
he discovered and translated the fourth book and the fifth book (the
Sei-gas de Esplandian). As the Sergas was not printed till 1510, it is
evident that Montalvo was still at work upon it in 1508 and unable to
add it to the first edition of Amadis.
As he calls himself Garcia Rodriguez de Montalvo in this volume
(of 1508) we must assume that Garci-Ordonez, as all the later editions
have it, is not his proper designation. (See also Esplandian below.)

After a few years of sudden fame, the author died in 1595 admired and regi'etted
by his friend Cervantes, and by Lope de Vega, who entered into rivalry with him on
the subject of the Angelica. Of this celebrated poem (in ottava Bima), suggested by
Ario6to*s Orlando, the least that can be said is that it is written in most musical and
harmonious verse.

The Portuguese historian, Francisco de Andrada, had translated into nis own
tongue the Latin Chronicle of Scanderbeg (by Marinus Barletius) and Ochoa de la
Salde rendered it from Portuguese into CastiUan. This is a rare book, and much
more readable than the original.

A rival edition, without the Latin Concordance ; with similar licences, etc., but
all of them dated a few days later than those of the 4 to. book. Thirty-eight of the
couplets near the end are omitted ; but there is a dedication by Barros himself, and
a prologue by Mateo Aleman, which are not in the other.
There is an extraordinary statement in the Spanish Ticknor that the Proverbs of .
Barros had little of original Spanish work in them, being principally translated from
Latin and Oreek. This must have arisen from the circumstance that Ximenez Paton
took the trouble to find Latin parallels from ancient writers, in an unworthy deprecia-
tion of Barros. The latter poet died in 1604.

Small folio, gotfjic letter ; old calf, the binding mended Ferrara, 1553 45 0 0
Excessively rare. It is the edition of the Bible in Spanish (or Judeo-Spanish)
commonly known as the *< Jew's Bible " or the ** Ferrara Bible," and contains just
60 much of the sacred text as is contained in all Hebrew editions. It commences
with the title, which is printed within a carious woodcut border, and has on its
reverse the dedicatory epistle of Jer. de Vargas and Duarte Pinel to the Duke of
Ferrara. It is succeeded by '* Al Letor " 2 pp. ; Table 6 11. ; text 400 numb. 11. Then
follows " Tabla de las Haphtaroth de todo el aSo." 2 11. (wanting in nearly all
copies). The vol. concludes with the register and imprint 1 leaf. A few leaves at
the beginning are slightly wormed ; but the body of the book is in excellent condition.
In the preface '* Al Letor," the writer (who was no doubt Jeronimo Vargas) says :
*' I caused the Bible to be translated into our Spanish, as the other nations cannot
blame their sons in regard to this blessing, since Italy, France, Flanders, Germany,
and England are not without the Bible, and even in Catalonia in our Spain, it was
translated and printed in the Catalan tongue.*' He goes on to say that it had been
found impossible, in making the translation exact and verbal, to employ a different
mode of language from that which had been used by the old Spanish Jews. It is
this statement, and the peculiar antique style of the translation which have led to a
suspicion that the Ferrara Bible was really printed from early Hispano-Judaic MSS.
and that the *' varies letrados " performed nothing more than revision and correction.

The preface is signed C. B. {i.e, Cattiodoro Beyna, the Spanish Beformista) and
the text is of course Calvinistic. This is the well-known " Bear Bible '* so-called
from the printer's woodcat device on the title. Some copies have three leaves of
Anotaciones at the end, which are not in this copy.
The old owner's inscription runs thus : — " Quien al cielo escnpe a la cara se

First Issuk, with the original states of leaves, 126, 127, 202 and 203. The
book properly consists of four preliminary leaves, and leaves numbered 1-204. The
Tabla, with some extra preliminary matter, comprising altogether eight leaves more,
was not printed till the preparation of the Seconi> Issue ; but those eight leaves are
added to this copy to make it a really desirable one.

and the reprints of folios 126, 127, 202, and 203 ; limp vellum wrapper,

The headings and numeration of the four reprinted leaves are in a smaller type
than the originals, corresponding in character with that of the eight leaves of Tabla,
etc. The proof that these eight leaves did not form part of the First Issue is shown
by the fact that the Table does not specify in its list of contents some of the pieces
which were omitted from the reprinted leaves.
The changes that were made are as follows :— On folio 126, 127 (numbered in
the First Issue 129, 127), one piece by Lope de Vega, and two by Gongora, were
omitted ; and in their place we lind substituted in the Second Issue, two pieces by
Juan Qeronimo Serra and one by Juan de Yaldes y Melendez. On leaves 202, 208,
there were various corrections made in punctuation and spelling, and a piece by
Quevedo was omitted as irreligious, one by Juan de Yaldes being substituted. In
the Second Issue the foliation of leaf 202 is misprinted 127.

extra, gilt edges, from R, S- Turner's library (1841) 10 10 0
Two hundred copies were printed on paper, and four on vellum.
Reprinted and edited by Luis de Usoz y Bio from the unique original (Valencia,
' 1519) in the British Museum. The forty-two preliminary pages are an interesting
introduction, and pp. 207-246 are additions from ancient Spanish writers. The last
seven pages are a Glossary.
The indecency of this work is very unlike the morbid obscenities of French
literature. There is something of a healthier and more virile character in its
coarseness.
Of the collection intitled " Cancionero de Obras de Burlas provocantcs a Risa,"
Valencia, 1519, 4to. there is only one copy known, which is in the British Museum.
It begins with one very long poem, and ends with another ; the last being a brutal
parody of the *' Trescientas '* of Juan de Mena. The shorter poems are by well-
known names, such as Jorge Manrique and Diego San Pedro. The general tone of
the work, which is attributed to ecclesiastical origin, is as coarse as possible.
The above edition of it, printed at London in 1841, has a curious and well-
written preface, and a short, but learned. Glossary. From page 207 to the end
page 246, are a few poems not found in the original Cancionero de Burlas ; one
by Garci Sanchez de Badajos, one by Rodrigo de Reynosa, etc.— Ttc/;?ior, 1849,

Salamanca the banker and of Baron Seilliere.
This was, according to TickiJpr, the most popular of all the
Romances of Chivalry in Spain, notwithstanding its foreign origin.
The translator, Nicholas de Piemonte, names himself in the Prologo,
which is printed on the reverse of the title. The original romance
from which he derived his Hystoria is the one which usually passes
in French under the name of Fierabras.

A book of extreme rarity ; printed perhaps at Amsterdam or Ley den. The author
says himself that he had been a monk ; an address to him, on the reverse of the
seventh preliminary leaf, shows that he was now Dr. T. C, Canon of Hereford and
Vicar of Blakmer (Blackmere) in England. These particulars af^rce with the known
career of Feman Texeda, who was in high esteem in England in James I's reign, and
have led Wifffen and others to identify T. C. with Texeda, reading those letters as
Texeda Canonlcus. But the pun in the four verses engraved beneath an evergi'een
tree on the title would lead one to believe in Carrascon. **. . aunquc parczco Carrasco
soy mas pues soy Carrascon." The word " Thomas " is printed in the field, and
" Carrascon " in the encircling border of the oval cartouche.

Vert rare. This curious book is supposed to have been the first production of
the press at Toro, a town of small size but of some importance in Leon. Deschamps
believed that it was printed at Turin, because, as he pointed out, the Spanish trans-
lator excuses faults of impression on the ground that *' en estas partes se habla mal
castellano z los emprimidores son mal platicos . ." Now if those parts were Turin,
it would not be true that they spoke bad Castilian since they spoke none at nAl ; and
as for unskilled printers, they were much more likely to be found at Toro ilian at
Turin. The fount of type is decidedly Spanish and comprises the n which was a
letter unknown to typography outside of Spain.

Unico ejemplar CONOCIDO. This first edition of one of the most
important works in dramatic literature is a precious book from every
point of view. The Celestina was the first real play written in any of
the modern languages ; and it has never lost the fascination attach-
ing to a composition in which intense dramatic power is blended
with great literary skill, and comic scenes are mingled in Elizabethan
style with the more pathetic movement of the tragic love-story. The
coai*seness that appears in the dialogue is frequently criticised by over-
fastidious persons who forget that the English stage presented an
exact parallel in the days of *' Eliza and our James," a hundred years
and more after the Celestina. It is simply marvellous that such a
masterpiece should have come into existence at a time when the only
models were the classical dramatists of antiquity and the dull mysteries
of the middle ages. It has all the character of an Elizabethan tragedy,
full of passionate love and intense horror, relieved by loose, fancif al,
humorous and satirical dialogue. The personages are all well drawn
and distinctly marked, and each one preserves his appropriate and
individual type throughout the play. The language throughout is
pure and nervous Castilian.
The absence of the first leaf has, perhaps, deprived us of the
acrostic verses in which *' Fernando de Bojas acabo la comedia de
Calysto y Melybea e fue nascido en la puebla de Montalvan." He
states in the address *' El Auctor a uh suo amigo '' prefixed to
the editions of 1501 and 1502, that the first act had been written by
Juan de Mena or Hodrigo Cota, and left (in manuscript, no doubt) as
an unfinished work. He had read it over and over again with great
admiration, and had been tempted to write the continuation. His
first labour was the best : the play hurries to an end with the death
of Calisto, which takes place immediately after his retirement from
the scene of illicit pleasure, and is followed by the resolve of Melibea,
her confession and suicide, and the grief of her father. The fourteenth
act is that of gratified love and the sudden catastrophe ; the fifteenth
32 BERNARD QUARITCH'S BIBLIOTHECA HISPANA.
contains the heroine's fate, and the sixteenth her parents' lamentation.
In the second edition Rojas made changes not for the better, and
protracted the end unnecessarily. Calisto goes home safe, soliloquises
half remorsefully, and sleeps. New characters are introduced in the
substituted fifteenth act, a scheme of vengeance upon Calisto is prepared
by the daughter and friends of Celestina (who had been mui'dered by
her associates in the intrigue) ; in the sixteenth, there are projects of
a marriage forMelibea by her parents; in the seventeenth and eighteenth
the vulgar plot is strengthened; in the nineteenth, Calisto is again
in Melibea's garden, and the scene of love is repeated miore voluptu-
ously than before, as though the author had forgotten the events of
the fourt-eenth act. Then Calisto hears his servants attacked by the
bravos, rushes to the wail, falls from the rope-ladder, and is killed.
Finally the twentieth and twenty-first acts contain the same matter as
the fifteenth and sixteenth of the original edition.
The differences of a minor kind, here and there, between the
first edition and those that followed, are so numerous that it ought to
be reprinted.

The last leaf, which is taken in facsimile from, perhaps, the only other known
copy, contains the colophon as follows, above the printer's mark of S. Polonus
(Stanislaus Polonus at Seville) :
Descriue el tiempo en que la obra se imprimio.

A dios gracias.
On the back of the title is the address *' El Auctor a vn suo amigo '* which contains
all that we know concerning the original first act and the continuation by Bojas. —
On the second leaf, and the first page of the third, are the eleven stanzas *' £1 autor
escnsandose de su yerro," etc., in which Bojas goes metrically over the same ground,
but reveals his name and the particulars acrostically as cited above in the description
of the first edition. — On the reverse of leaf 3 begins a prose preface which ends
midway on the front of leaf 5. In that preface, Bojas states that the original
author called his work a Comedy, while he himself preferred to name it a Tragedy,
and that for a compromise he had styled it a Tragicomedy. — The text then ensues
and proceeds on its twenty-one acts as far as the 81st leaf on which it ends ; followed
by the leaf of colophon. The book is in signatures A-T in fours, and U in six leaves.

The preliminary matter is the same as in the edition of 1501. The book is in
signatures of a — f^ in eights. The last leaf contains nine (not ten) stanzas of verse,
of which the first three are by Bojas and begin with the heading *' Cucluye el auctor

" Aldso de paza [Alonso de Proaza] corrector de la impression al lector." In his
fifth stanza he reveals the secret of the acrostics at the beginning, and in his
sixth stanza he '* descriue el tiempo," etc., that is, he gives the metrical colophon
already quoted.
The play is in the regular twenty-one acts, as in the 1501 edition. That is, it
has the interpolated five acts between acts 14 and 15 of the original. That addition
was probably first made at Salamanca in 1500, and it is to be assumed that Alonso
de Proaza was the corrector of the press in that city. He wrote seven stanzas for
that edition fnot siz)as will be remarked in the description of the 1518 edition below;
but one of tnem, " renados Amantes,*' was omitted for some unknown reason in the
Seville edition of 1502 and all that followed its text.

This edition (although it corresponds in all but one respect with the early ones
which followed the Seville book of 1502) is valuable as reprinting and giving proof of
the former existence of the lost Salamanca edition of 1500 ; thus showing that the
latter contained the whole twenty-one acts, and was the first publication of Bojas's
complete text. The particular referred to in the parenthesis in which it differs fzom
the rest, is the circmnstance that the verses of Alonso de Proaza are in seven stanzas,
there being a sixth beginning "Penados amantes " between the regular fifth and the
ordinary sixth (El carro phebeo).

Sialva has started the theory that this rare edition was printed at Venice, and
bases his notion on the types and the woodcuts, these latter being identical with
those of the Venice edition of 1531. As for the types, however, it is a poor and mis-
leading argument; while the woodcuts were probably supplied from an Italian
source, as in many other instances.
The contents are the same as in the editions of 1502 ; but it is curious that the
fifth stanza of Alonso de Proaza at the end, revealing Uie aorostical mode of dis-
covering the authorship, is omitted, no doubt intentionally. Thus there are only five
stanzas of his composition ; as in this, and all the following editions, the " Penados

that followed down to this time. The woodcnts in this edition are copies of those in

This was reprinted from the 1534 Venice edition. It is a very pretty book, but has
no woodcuts. A contemporary owner has written on the 108tn leaf (blank) *^ No ay

The Seville text of 1502 reprinted, with the speeches made more distinct by
carrying the names into the margins. It is preceded by UUoa's dedication to Diego
de Acnfia. At the end of the book there is an Introdvitione del Signor Alphonso di
Tlloa, nella qvale s'insegna pronvnciare la lingva Espafiola, which is followed by a
Vocabulary, and occupies twenty-three leaves beyond the regular contents of the
book. The Vocabulary is new, but the instructions are the same as those given by
Delgudo in the 1584 edition.

Apparently reprinted from the Seville edition of 1502.
All the above editions, except the first, are in twenty-one acts. None of them
contains the absurd interpolation of the Auto de Traso which in some three or four
editions (between 1526 and 1538) was inserted as the nineteenth, and consequently
swelled tne total to twenty-two acts.

One of the rarest books in all literature. Only one other copy appears to be
extant. It can easily be understood that this first edition, printed in Rome, would
not long escape the ban of the authorities, notwithstanding the rank of the
translator.
This translation was made from the editions of 1501 or 1502, containing the
twenty-one acts. It faithfully reproduces the dialogue in the seduction-scenes, and
is dedicated to a lady by the translator, Alfonso OrdoSez.

Salva's indications.
' Two editions appeared at Madrid and two at Lisbon in 1605, at least one of each
of them being anterior to July. The Valenclan edition is therefore either the third,
fourth, or fifth publication of the Primera Parte of Don Quixote.

limguage is said to be ** agora muy familiar a los Caualleros de esta Ciudad," and the
printers excuse themselves for not publishing a Tuscan translation "por no le
quitar su gracia, que maa se muestra en su natural lenguage, que en qualquiera

[William Stansby,for Ed. Blount and W. Barret . 1612] 6 10 0
The first Don Qaixote in English ; the work of Thomas Shelton (whose name
appears at foot of the dedication to Lord Walden). He there pretends to have
translated the book " some fiae or six jeares agoe," in the space of forty days, *' out
of the Spanish tongue." The falsehood of that statement becomes evident even in
the preliminary pages. In the last few lines of the seventh paragraph of the Prologo
of Cervantes, we read the words *' anotaoiones y acotaciones, que yo os voto a tal de
llenaros las margenes, y de gastar quatro pliegos en el fin del libro." Shelton has it,
*' I doe promise thee that I will both fill up the margent, and also spend foure or five
sheetes of advantage at the end of the booke." The words I have underlined are
not in the Spanish and have no meaning in English. They are evidently translated
with foolish literalness from a French version which had davantaije in the sense
of " four or five sheets more.** Unfortunately we know of no French or Italian
version as early as the English, but that a MS. in one or the other language existed
in 1606-7, is rendered nearly certain by the phrase just quoted.
This book is so rare that it is undescribed by Mr. H. E. Watts and all writers on
Cervantes bibliography. It is quite a different edition and impression from that
which appeared with the second Part in 1620. In Vol. I of 1620 there were thirteen
preliminary leaves (including a printed title with the date of 1620 ; and an engraved
title), pages numbered 1-572, and two leaves unnumbered. In the volume of 1612,
there were twelve preliminary leaves (including a printed title dated 1612), pages
numbered 1-594, and two unnumbered leaves. All the pages of the book were
framed within black lines in the 1612 volume ; in the 1620 volume, only the head-
lines were so ruled.
In 1612 there existed no more of Don Quixote than the volume which we now
call Part I, and that volume was divided into four parts. In the English head-lines
of 1612 we have those parts indicated ; while the word was turned into Lib. in the
edition of 1620, after the continuation produced in 1615 had stamped the name of
Parte Primera upon its predecessor.

forms the first volume, is a masterpiece, based throughout upon sound historical
research. The Index which tenninates the work, is most exhaustive, and is the only

This is the first time that the existence of two issues of the original Comedias of
Cervantes has been pointed out. The change of the paper constitutes in itself a notable
variation ; but, as far as the typO'Setting is concerned, the only difference is in the
preliminary leaves. The four leaves in one and the two leaves in the other are
different in their composition. The alterations on the title page have been noted
above. In both copies the Aprouaoion occupies eight lines at the top of the second
leaf reverse. Below it, in the thin paper copy, there is nothing but a list of the titles
of the pieces, with the catchword " C^me-" In the thidc paper copy, that list and
catchword occupy the whole reverse of the fourth leaf ; the greater part of leaf 2
reverse, and both pages of leaf 3 being filled with a Prologo iJ Lector ; and the front
of the fourth leaf containing a Dedicatoria al Conde de Lemos.

BOOK OF SUCH EXTBAOBDiNABT RARITY that sinco Heber'd imperfect copy
was sold sixty years ago, only the copies above described have
appeared in the European market. There was no copy in the wonder-
fully rich Salv^ collection ; and Hnber, in his reprint of the Chronicles
of the Cid, confessed that he had been unable to see either this edition
or that of 1593.
At tha end of the Chronicle, there follows (preceded by a fall-
page woodcnt) the '* Brene tratado dela genealogia dl Cid " which,
with some small concluding paragraphs, occupies folios 103-116, and
which Salva ima^ned to have appeared for the first time in the
edition of 1552. The prologue of the work informs us that it was
published by Juan de Yelorado, Abbot of San Pedro de Cardena, at the
desire of the young Infante Fernando (afterwards Emperor in succes-
sion to his brother Charles Y), who had visited the Abbey and seen

there the torab of the hero and the ancient MS. of the Chronicle. The
matter -which concludes the Oenealogia consists of an account of the
Cid's tomb and of those of other great personages baried in the same
monastery, and finally the royal privilege dated 1511, and the Pregon
del dicho Freuilegio which is stated to have been proclaimed at the
request of Fray Pedro de Velorado the mayordomo del dicho
monesterio. He was evidently, therefore, a different person from the
Abbot, and should not be confounded with him, as Salvd and others

The only copy known. This popular Chronicle was first printed several years
before the ediitio princeps of the large Chronicle, at least as early as 1498, but all the
early editions are of excessive rarity. Between the edition of 1498 and the present
•one, there is record only of a single edition printed in 1509 which has disappeared.

The narrative ends with a.i>. 1252. Most of it (indeed, substantially, the whole)
was written before 1280, and it appears nearly certain that Alfonso the Wise was
himself the actual author of a great portion of the work. It is a precious storehouse
out of which stories, legends, ballads, and chronicles were evolved during the two
centuries succeeding its composition. Hardly any country but Spain can exhibit a
vernacular historical work of so much importance in its literary history.

The Chronicle was written about 1460 by one of the faithful followers of the
Constable, and it is full of striking and pathetic narrative, the only fault of which, in
Ticknor's eyes, was the stately march of the language. The heading of the chapter in
which tlie execution is told runs thus—" Of the death of the best knight of his time
in all Spain, the greatest uncrowned lord, the good Master of Santiago." The MS. of
the work was carried to Milan by Alvaro de Luna, the namesake and great-grandson
of the Constable, when he w^as sent to take command of the Spanish garrison in that
city ; and it was printed for him there.

Oliva is the sister of King Pipin, and is repudiated for infidehty (through the

monastery to which she retires, becomes a great warrior, and wins the imperial crown
of Constantinople. — As this book was first printed in 1498, it belongs to the earliest
Spanish productions of its kind and stands midway between Tirante and Amadis.

This copy of the edition of 1516 is the only one in which the
perfect sheet of six leaves is fonnd at the end. The copy described in
Gallardo had only fonr leaves atid wanted ttie last twenty-two stanzas
of the Tragodia besides the Romance and, the Villancico mentioned
above.
The Seilliere copy, which I sold for £36, ended with folio 98, and
was therefore without the last sis leaves.
The Eclogas and Representaciones which are found in the latter
part of this volume are pieces of dramatic interest with speaking
characters; which began to be acted in public in 1492. Ticknor
treats these compositions as " the foundation of the Spanish drama,"
because the Celestina cannot be placed earlier than 1499.

There is nothing rarer or more interesting in Spanish (as in English) literature
than the poetical pieces which were printed in the sixteenth century in single leaves
or sheets, most of which have perished. It is questionable whether a second copy of
the above is now surviving. Salva remarks that the Disparates and the Almoneda
are to be found in the Cancionero de Enzina ; not so the Villancico. It is nevertheless
almost certainly by Juan del Enzina.

Excessively bare. The first edition of Vol. 1 is scarcely to be had at any price ;
and the two volumes are usually composed of the dates of 1550-52. The second
volume was only printed once ; the first volume several times. In the year 1545
alone there were three editions of Part I ; the princeps being the one described above
dated 8 July, Valladolid. The second and third were printed (without licence) at
Zaragoza on the 12 September and the 16 September of the same year.
The author, whose name was never manifested in any of the editions, but who
made it acrosticaJly discoverable in the rhymed invocacion preceding the Letania de
quinientos Proverbios near the end of the volume, was Luis de Escobar, a bed-ridden
Franciscan friar of literary tastes. To him the Almirante de Castilla and his friends
had forwarded four hundred questions, humorous, whimsical, serious, religious, or
(>0 BERNARD QUARITCH'S BIBLTOTHECA HISPAXA.
frivolous, upon any or every subject that happened to arise, including a number of
popular old riddles. Escobar rewrote the questions in verse, and then replied to
them in verse, thus constructing a book which at once commanded general favour.
In 1552 he took up the matter again, and produced a continuation. The result of
the acrostic mentioned above is " Fray Luys Descobar hyzo esta Letanya."

Notwithstanding the circumstance that two copies are here described, this first
edition was so rare that Salva had none in his rich collection. He describes it, how-
ever, as a book which he had formerly possessed.
There are eight preliminary leaves including the title ; the text occupies leaves
numbered 1-187, on the back of the last being the colophon . . .Then follows a final
leaf, of which the face is blank, and the reverse contains a statement of the law against
importing or selling (in Castile) books in Spani.sh printed in Aragon, Valencia,
Catalonia, and Navarre. This seems to show that Juan de la Cuesta had heard of
the production in Barcelona of the following article.

FiPST AND ONLY EDITION; EXCESSIVELY RABE. The poet, who is Otherwise
known through his contributions to the Cancionero General, had been dead about
fourteen years before this collection of his works was made. The only copy that has
hitherto been recorded was that of Gonde, and it may have been identical with this,
which has come from the Salv& library. There was none in the Heber, Miro,
Seilliere, and Cosens collections ; and the book is unmentioned both by firunet and
his continuator, and by Gallardo. Salv& emphatically stated — " Considero el presente
libro como uno de los mas raros de mi biblioteca."
There are several pieces in the volume, in the Valencian language.

This has been regarded as a rare volume almost since the very day of its
publication. The documents it contains were taken from the archives of the
Constable of Castile (Juan Fernandez de Velasco). They give a striking picture of
the conferences for reconciliation between Juan II and his nobles, in which the Good
Count of Haro gave his seguro for the safety of all the parties.
It was printed in the last century among the Spanish Chronicles.

This is one of the rarest of all the romances of chivalry. Besides
this perfect copy, only one other (and that imperfect) has been recorded.
The whereabouts of the imperfect copy is now unknown.
The author was not a Portuguese, as Brunet's continnator supposed
from a misinterpretation of the preface. He simply happened to be in
Lisbon in 1545. The story is feigned to have been translated from an
English original at a time when he was resident, for purposes of
business, "in this . . . noble and, for-most-famous-deeds-of-knights-
errant-renowned-in-arms, celebrated Lsle of England." Of the language
of the country he thought little, as he uses the phrase " barbara lengua
como la Inglesa." The Florando may be assigned to the Palmerin
cycle, simply as a supposed English chronicle ; but the only connexion
which the book itself suggests is with the romance Palladien
d'Angleterre (Lyons, 1555), a work professedly derived from the
Spanish, but usually supposed to be an original composition of Claude
Colet. The first chapter-heading in Florando runs thus : *' Capitulo
primero de vna marauillosa anentura que al nacimiento del principe
Paladiano aparecio. En la cibdad de Londres : entre los palacios del
rey Milanor sn padre." In the last chapter of the primera parte,
Florando is born to Paladiano ; and we may fairly conclude that this
first part of Florando, dealing wholly with the hero's father, was the
real original of Claude Colet's romance.

No other copy recorded. Both Saly4 and Brunei seem to have been ignorant of
the existence of a Bargos edition. The story itself was first printed in its Spanish
form, and may therefore claim to be a Spanish book, but it is nearly certain that
a Provencal poem on the subject preceded all the texts in Spanish, Italian, and
French.

Excessively babe ; so rare, indeed, that no other copy is recorded save one that
was Heber's and one that had been Meerman's.
Fernan de Vasurto (or Basurto), supposed to be an Aragonese, is said to have
been the author. Brunet gives a description of it which differs considerably from
the above, and states that Vasurto's name appears in a Privilege on the back of the
title. Here there is no privilege at all; the dedicatory prologue beginning
immediately on the reverse of the title, and containing neither the author's name
nor that of the person to whom it was addressed. From the text of the prologo,
however, we learn that the work was dedicated to an unnamed nobleman descended
from Juan Fernandez de Eredia.
A continuation is promised at the end of the book. It was never published.

A book of considerable rarity and of still gi'eater literary interest. The question is
still unsolved whether it was a thorough forgery in all respects, perpetrated by some
one after the year 1600, or whether that some one had not really a MS. of the
fifteenth century before him which he may have manipulated a little. The choice of
old-faced type for his book was singular but not necessarily deceitful, the date is
possibly a typographical error for MDCXLIX.

Bozerian jeune [Zaragoza, Jorge Cocil 1529 10 0 0
First edition of a famous book ; extremely rare. The name of Guevara appears
nowhere in it, and there is no printer's colophon, but it is in Coci*s beautiful type and
his monogram appears in the woodcut ornamentation of the title. The style of the
book is extravagantly praised in the prologue and the editorial colophon, and the
future rarity of the book predicted. It consists of 84 leaves of which the last is
blank ; with signatures a-i in eights, k and I in sixes.
The original text was enormously changed and augmented by the author in
later editions. They look wholly unlike this. The Yida and the Cartas constitute
the two sections into which the text is divided here.

The history is followed by what are called Dialogaes, concemlDg the Christian
slaves in Algiers. The interlocutors are real personages, and in the second discourse
Dr. Sosa hands to Captain Bamirez certain documents on the subject. Among these,
on folio 185, there is an account of the heroic doings of " Miguel Cervantes un
hidalgo principal de Alcala de Henar^s " which gives a better picture of the man
than any other we possess. It must have been taken down from the recital of
captives in or soon after the year 1577.

were not reprinted in the edition of 1619 published after his death, although the latter

First known edition. With this is bound up the Segunda Parte as it is called —
an anonymous continuation unlit to accompany the original work, but which Kucio
evidently regarded as a genuine second part. It is without its title and begins on leaf
A 2, folio 2. But the Lazarillo of Hurtado is complete, and is, if not the first edition, at
least of the same year as the edition said to have been printed at Burgos. No one has
ever seen that Burgos impression, nor the one alleged to have been printed in 1553.

Babe. The address " AljLector " on the back of the title gives the name of the
translator, Alonso de Palencia; and states that the imperfections incident to his
version from its having been rendered from the Latin, had been corrected in accord-
ance with the critical labours of Erasmus on the Greek text.

** Only less rare than the first edition," says Ticknor.
One of the most remarkable books in old Spanish literature. The author, who
lived from 1282 to 1847, was a prince (nephew of Alfonso el Sabio) and a mighty
warrior ; yet was he also a writer of books. This one alone, a collection of fables and
tales from various sources, told in a simple and vigorous Castihan style, will preserve
his fame as long as Spanish remains a spoken tongue.
Argote de Molina prefixed a life of the Prince and a genealogy of his family, and
added a discourse on old Spanish poetry at the end.

First Edition of one of the most important books of Spanish poetry ; about which
there has been a perpetual controversy for the last hundred years and more, with
regard to the real authorship. Tioknor, with many others, is persuaded that Torre
was a pseudonym for Quevedo himself, but the Bachiller's poetry is superior to any-
thing written by Quevedo under his own name.

Antonio Salazar or Jaan de Molina wrote this romance between
1510 and 1520. It was first printed in 1521, with the name of Antonio
Salazar as author (i.e. as professed translator from the Arabic original
of Xarton). In the editions above described the translator's name is
not mentioned. We have no right to assume that it was a pseudonym,
although Don Pascual de Gayangos ascribes the book to Juan de
Molina. It is a book in the style of the Amadis.

This First Edition of a celebrated book is rare in any state ; but the engraved
frontispiece is so rare that even Salvd was unaware of its existence.
All the critics seem to agree in crediting Andres Perez with the authorship ; but
as the book bears the name Francisco de Ubeda on the title, and Francisco Lopez
de Ubeda in the Privilege, Approbation, and dedication, we are not justified in
placing the book under the name of Perez.

Near the end of part 3 of libro segundo, the earliest contemporary reference to
Don Quixote is found in the following lines (rhymed by the truncation of final
syllables) : —
•' Soy la Beyn de Picardi
Mas que la Bud conoci,
Mas famo que dofla Oli
Que don Quizo y Lazari."
It is curious that these lines should be found in a book printed in the same year
as the first edition of Don Quixote, and written earlier than August 1G04 (the date of
the privilege).

But one other copy is known, which was in the Salamanca library. Salv4 only
knew the reprint of 1588, which he calls extraordinarily rare. The difference
between the two issues is that there are 209 numbered leaves in the one of 1582, and
210 in that of 1588 ; and that the latter contained a privilege of the later date, while
the former has only the privilege of Lisbon, 1581.
The first 05 leaves are headed *' Cancionero," but the book, although a cancionero
by its form and character, differs in contents (except in a few instances) from the
" Cancionero General de Lopez de Ubeda " of 1586.

Excessively rare. Ticknor's copy, and the one in the British
Mnseum (Grenville libraiy) are the only two (besides this one) to
which I can i^efer as having been specifically recoixied by bibliographers.
The present copy wanted the last four leaves when it was in Salva's
possession, but they were afterwards supplied by Jose Sancho Rayon
to the Count of Benahaves (who bought the Salva library). These
four leaves appear to be in facsimile, but it has been asserted that they
are genuine. The book consists of 23 leaves : A and B, eight leaves
each ; C, 7 leaves.
The work, which is thrown into the form of a dialogue between
the Marques de Santillana, Alfonso de Cartagena, Juan de Mena, and
the author himself, is described by Ticknor as one of the most inipor-
tant books in Castilian prose written in the fifteenth century. It is, in
fact, a great Spanish classic, and, in this first edition, one of tlic rarest
productions of the peninsular pi'ess in that centuiy.

Gallardo gives four pages to his description of Maldonado's Cancionero, which
was really one of the most important volumes of Spanish poetry produced in the
second half of the sixteenth century.

The first work in this volame is an aopablished Nobiliario of the highest
intrinsic value. It was compiled about 1580, by Aponte, who by his official rank,
his antiquarian tastes, and his exact and immense knowledge, may be regarded as a
Spanish parallel to our English Dugdale. The information contained in his work
was recognized as equivalent to legal evidence.
The second work was written in the early part of the sixteenth century. The
author was a vassal of the kindred houses of Andrade and Sotomayor. The third
work is the complete history of the noble houses of Biscay, Guipuzcoa, and Asturias,
which formed the final section (Books 21-25) of the author's great general work,
written 1490-1500.

Eignt leaves at the end contain a Bull by Pope Clement VII, also in Spanish, in
which all the rights and privileges of the dispossessed order are confirmed and
renewed to the same extent as they had enjoyed them before their muniments had
perished at Rhodes. It is dated on the 4 of the Calends of January 1523 (i.e.
29 December 1523), and is signed "For mandado de nro Sor el Papa Grarcia de
Salazar, B. de Balantibus, Jo. Alfonsi, L. de Sancto Joanne, A. de Castelle." These
names and the language give a wholly Spanish character to the transaction.

Bare. It is a well written story, evidently giving a true picture of the horrible
but inevitable ending of the Moors in Spain. There is no such bitterness of feeling
displayed by the author as Ticknor inclines to charge him with ; on the contrary, he
seems to have been as fair and as reasonable in his views as any Spaniard could have
been at the time.

Probably the first edition of the Coronacion ; in any case a fifteenth- century

this, of 102 leaves ; the fact being that each of the two is deficient of a leaf. The
Grenville copy wants the title ; and the Salva copy wants nl. The book is in octavo
signatures of a — n 7, and ought therefore to contain 103 leaves, plus a blank at

Extremely rabe ; so rare in fact that no other copy than this, and the one
known to Gallardo, besides the imperfect one which was formerly Heber's, will be
found cited in the bibliographies.
The Trecientas and the Coronacion are the two masterpieces of Juan de Mena ;
the latter being the first dated edition of the poem, and the former the first glossed
edition (absolutely the second edition) of the text. The two books ought to be found
together, but they were not united in the copy described by Brunet (probably in the
Bibliothdque Rationale).
This copy has been successively in the Miro and Heredia libraries. There was
none in the Salv& and Seillidre collections, and Salv4 had evidently little expectation
of ever meeting with a chance of buying it.

From the Seillidrc collection, but without the usual arms of the owner. Salv4
possessed only the Coronacion part of this edition; and had never seen the
Trezientas of 1512, the existence of which was only known to him from the
statement in Brunet. This is sufficient to prove the great rarity of the volume.

Unmentioned by Bmnet, Salvii, and Gallardo. The book must be a very rare
one. It is really anonymous, although here placed under Mesue. The author
commented on the ancient works of Mesue and Nicolaus, adding fresh matter of his
own, and caused the whole to be revised by three doctors of repute whom he names.
He was himself a Franciscan friar.
Folio 100 is succeeded by 105, and folio 142 by 145, but there is nothing lost. It
is merely an accidental skipping of the numbers.

Only two other copies known of this curious volume. The copy which belonged
to Gallardo was the only one known to the translators of Ticknor . . Ticknor himself
was ignorant of its existence, but the Spanish translators give two pages of description
in note-type to this " obra rarisima *' as they call it. The work is a set of dialogues,
partly in Valencian, between several persons who carry on a combat of wits in
the company of the Duke of Calabria. It comprises a number of poetical compositions
by Don Francisco FenoUet, J. Fernandez de Heredia, and others, including several
Romances which are said to be in much simpler and more archaic style than the prose
of the volume.

may have been a preliminary blank leaf which was torn away in every instance.
The w^ords of a number of pretty Spanish and Portuguese romances and villancicos
are given with the music, and are of independent literary value, being unquestionably
popular songs which are not included in the recognized Cancioneros.

** ' Notes on early Spanish Music* By Juan F. Biaiio. (B. Quaritch.) A treatise
which will be invaluable to students of musical history on account of the mass of
information which Setior Biafio has laboriously brought together from various out-of-
the-way sources on a department of musical history hitherto somewhat neglected.
In his preface, after commenting on the absence of information on ' the ancient
school of Spanish music before Palestrina,' Senor Biano says : * This reason has
induced me to think that a real service will be done by facilitating information to
those who have undertaken the study of music in the Middle Ages in Spain. I have
collected the bibliographical information in the different libraries to which I have
had access, so that students may be aware of the existence of a great number
of Spanish manuscripts from the tenth to the sixteenth century which have
musical annotations. I also give a catalogue of early printed books on music up to
1600 by Spanish authors, which, owing to their extreme rarity, are bibliographical
treasures, and constitute a group of works of the greatest interest for the history of
the development and progress of European music in the Middle Ages and beginning
of the Benaissance.' The volume is, in fact, a catalogue raisonn^ of old musiciJ
manuscripts, profusely illustrated botii with specimens of the music and with
pictures of old musical instruments. There is a charming series of quaint, angular
figures playing on a variety of ancient instruments, from the celebrated * Cantigas '
of King Don Alonso el Sabio (13th century), which will interest any one. But for
the most part the treatise is for serious students only ; and they owe a debt of
gratitude to Sefior Biafio for his painstaking, unpretending labour ; for this book.

small as it is, represents research and hard work."— PaU Mall Gazette^ September
16th, 1887.
*' The work is one relating to Spanish Church Music, a subject on which
hardly anything has been written, and of which very little is known. Seflor Juan
Biaiio, in his Notes on Karly Spanish Music, gives us a catalogue of MS. Musical
Liturgical works, now existing in Spain, and by his most excellent illustrations we
can get a good idea of the curious musical signs appearing in these early Spanish
MSS. Of course, they nearly all illustrate the peculiar rite used down to the present
day at Toledo, and known as the Mozarabic rite. At page 25 we have a facsimile of
a Mozarabic Breviary of the tenth or eleventh century, and on page 29 a facsimile
of a Gothic Missal of the eleventh century, which shows the Visigothic
musical notation. There are also a large number of illustrations of Spanish musical
instruments. One is a little disappointed that Senor Riafio gives no account of the
splendid Liturgical MSS. in the library of the British Museum ; they are full of
Visigothic neuines, dated about the tenth century, and, of course, of the Mozarabic
rite. It is a pity no one has paid, as yet, any attention to these important works,
possibly the only Spanish MSS. in England.'*— r/f« Weekly liegister, October

B.VBE. The value of the book as a scientific treatise on Masic has been fully
related by Fdtis. Its interest for us lies largely in the number of first lines (or
first and second lines) of the Spanish ballads and songs which he gives and of
which he adds the corresponding musical notes.
This copy is so large that the prolonged diagram-lines which appear on several
pages have remained perfectly safe from mutilation. The editions of 1577 and 1592
are identical : only the title was reprinted for the latter.

have had the chance to see the original book by which he made his name immortal

We learn from the dedication to Garcia de Toledo that *' many lords and people
of eminence were giving themselves to this so excellent manner of enjoyment,"
and that young Don Carlos (the hapless son of Philip II) took pleasure in seeing
the game played.

He discusses with amusing earnestness the character and the lawfulness or
illegality of betting and gambling in all sorts of ways. Of the numerous ** dodges "
he describes, the following curious case : *' Thus if any priest should leave his pro-
perty to some friend, to the intent that the latter shall hand it over to the priest's
son, to whom he himself cannot leave it, etc. etc.," is brought forward to illustrate
the question as to whether a debt of honour may be lawfully accepted, as of the
nature of a free giftf by any man who had won it in play. The fact that women, at
the time, were heavily addicted to gambling is frequently made manifest in this
singular book.

printed in 1644, is very curious. It proves that rifles were already then in use,
*' arcabuces rayados por de dentro," the author calls them.

An unknown edition, of which perhaps no other copy exists. The edition of
1552 was the earUest known to Salvii, in whose catalogue an extract from the text is
given, which shows that this Spanish horse -doctor was acquainted with the scientific
fact of the Circulation of the Blood, nearly a hundred years before Harvey^iscovered
it. It appears in the present copy on the reverse of leaf 49, and the concluding
words may be quoted : " La sangre anda en torno y en rueda por todos los miembros.''
It is a statement concerning the function of the veins and arteries, which arises in an
answer to a supposed question about the branding or barring of a horse's legs.

Published after the author's death by Luis de Leon, to i;7hose hand the
preface is due.
I have not had a copy of this excessively rare book for twenty-seven years.
It was the first general collection of genuine popular proverbs and proverbial locutions
that was made in Spain. They amount to six thousand in number, and comprise not
only Castilian refranes, but also Catalan, Valenoian, Asturian, Galician, and Portu-
guese, with a few Italian and French, all in a single alphabetical arrangement ; with
Castilian explanations appended to those which are in the other languages. The
original owner drew his pen through all the indecencies, but not so as to render
them illegible. His pious action has simply made them more remarkable than they
would otherwise have been.
Collation : Title and preliminaries, 6 leaves ; text of the proverbs, folios 1-131 ;
folio 132 is a title : Epicedio de Valerio Francisco Bomero en la mverte del maestro
Heman Nunez . . ; the text of the Epicedio follows, in eight-lined stanzas, and ends
on folio 142.

published in 1574, contained Books 6-10.

There was no copy of this edition in the Salva collection ; only one is mentioned
by Gallardo, and only an imperfect one by Bronet.
The last sentence of the 1525 edition (in which the production of the Prlmaleon
as a second book is announced) was omitted in this ; but here, on tho last page, we
find the Latin verses of " Jo. Auger transmeren," which are not in ths 1525 edition.
These silly and pompous verses are important for the history of the book, as they
allege that it was written by a learned woman greater in merit than all Spanish men.
There is also a hint of assistance rendered in the more warlike passages by a " filing
altisonans." In the catalogue of Ferdinand Ck)lumbu8* library, an edition of 1511 is
mentioned, with a statement that Francisco Vazquez was the author. In the
colophon of the Primaleon of 1524, the editor's name is given as Francisco Vazquez
of Ciudad Bodrigo. From these scraps of information Don Pascual de Gayangos
has supposed that this Vazquez was the son referred to above, and that he was part
author at least of the Primaleon.

Very bare. Six stanzas of verse at the end (a sort of imitation in Spanish of
the Latin verses of Auger which appeared in the 1526 Palmerin) comprise in the
fifth octave a clear statement as to the origin and authorship of the Primaleon : —

Por mano de dueQa prudente labrado.
£s por exemplo de todos notado

There cannot be much hesitation in accepting as a fact that the author of the
Palmerin and the Primaleon was a lady, and that she came from Ciudad Bodrigo.
Whether her name was Vazquez or not must remain questionable.

ceutury, that is, of the Generaciones j Semblanzas or original Memoirs of his own

contained in the still unpublished Mare Hittoriarum of Guido Colonna.
Brunet only mentions the edition of 1581 of this Spanish Chronicle, and even
that he had never seen. There was no copy of either in the Miro or the Seilliere
collection; and the copy which SalvA had was imperfect. It is not incorrectly

First edition of a great Spanish historical classic ; and at the same time one of the
finest typographical masterpieces of the early press. It was compiled by Perez de
Ouzman from the work of several elder contemporaries ; and thus, as Salv& says, the

improvement.

EzcEssnrELY babe. Each volume is the second edition of its text, and the two
united form a set which many collectors are likely to sigh for in vain.
The list of editions given by Doran and SalvA is erroneous. There was no
edition of Part I in 1588. The above first volume bears the words second edition,
and the royal privilege, which is included in the preliminary pieces, proves that the
first edition must have been printed for Angelo Tavano at Zaragoza at the end of
1595. With regard to the Second Part, we have the following details: Gines
Perez finished the writing of the manuscript on the 22 November, 1597, at Murcia.
Juan Dorado, of Murcia, bought it, and obtained the royal licence to print it on 4 June,
1610. Doctor Molina saw it in three sections, the first and third in MS., the second
in print, dated Alcala 1604, on the 10 of April, 1610, and approved it for publication.
After June, 1610, there is no further information till 1619, in the April of which
year the Tassa and a further approbation were dated at Madrid. Consequently, it
seems likely that the first edition was printed at Madrid in 1619, and immediately
afterwards reprinted at Cuenca and Barcelona.
The allusion to a printed portion of Alcala, 1604, by Dr. Molina, may simply be
an error on his part, caused by having seen the Alcala edition of the First Part in
1604. Ticknor boldly asserts that the second part was first printed at Alcala in
1004, but he and others probably relied upon the word of Dr. Molina. This personage,

however, in his approbacion, speaks only of the book in the following fashion, as '* el

Christianos, y de la rebelion de la dicha Ciudad . . tiene tres partes . . la primera y
tercera parte estan cscrito de mano . . y la segunda impressa en Alcala de Henares
por Juan Gracian, ano de 1604." Ticknor laments the loss of the third part which
he had never seen ; but it is quite evident that the Doctor's segunda parta is the
hataUas particularett and refers to the published Part I, while he has split up Part II
into Guerras Giviles (his part 1), and Bebelion (his part 8).

This is a fine book of the greatest rarity. The translator (a very free translator)
was Antonio de Obregon who dedicates his work to Fadrique Enrriquez de Cabrera,
Almirante de CastiUa.
The restoration that is mentioned above seems to have been a cleansing of the
last fourteen leaves from large patches of ink that must have covered their whole
extent. The result has been to give those leaves the appearance of facsimile.

then bringing forward their analogues from many tongues. It was one of the first

two lovers had the worse fate. The lady of the one had died, the other served his
lady without hope of guerdon.

The single ballads " printed on one or more sheets, in black letter, for popular
use" (as Ticknor describes them), are amongst the rarest and the most precious
pieces of old Spanish literature. It was out of tracts of this kind that the Bomanoeros
were built up gradually between 1650 and the dose of the century.

The gloss of Alonso de Alcaudete is not the dull prose gloss of many later poets,
but a new poem in stanzas on the same subject as the original ballad, the last line of
each stanza being one of the successive lines of the ballad.

was made by the man for whom this work was published at Antwerp in or before
1550. This, his third edition of 1555, represents the final recension of the text of the
First of the Bomanceros. Farther collections made towards the end of the century
led to the compilation of the Bomancero General described below.

These BomanceB, which are divided into four parts, the last of the parts relating
chiefly to the conquest of Granada, were written or collected in the early part of the
sixteenth century. They were handed over to Alonso de Fuentes, that he might
write a prose gloss upon them. Before he had finished his work, his anonymous
patron (un Sefior a quien yo tenia gran obligacion para servir) died, and the book
was published by or for Fuentes in 1550 at Seville, appearing at Zaragoza in 1564
for tne second time. Both editions are of the utmost rarity.

The contents of this volume are sufficiently old to have become rarities of a
high order. They are all on single sheets of a few leaves each, and having been
printed for popular and ephemeral use, the preservation and the combination of so
large a number are remarkable, considering that even the ballads and broadsheets
printed a hundred years later have become very rare.
All the pieces are in fine condition.

The title is partly in Boman, partly in Gothic letter, under the woodout

" Prologo dirigido al lUustoissimo Sefior don Pedro de Toledo," etc., occupies the

ends midway down the page on the reverse of the fourth leaf. Then the text
follows on 120 numbered leaves (i-cxx).
This is the original issue, as made in Naples, and is excessively rare. In the
copies which were sent to Spain, the four preliminary leaves were reprinted, the
words of intitulation vary, the escutcheon on the title is that of the Emperor, and
the dedication is addressed to Prince Philip.

This story (which was printed for the first time about 1490) is usually classed
among Bomances of Chivalry, and called Leriano y Laureola, San Pedro made his
lover die at a distance from the lady, because, through a punctilio, she would not many
him, although they loved each other. Nicolas Nuftez did not like such an ending, so
he brings them together in order that the disappointed lover shall die in his lady's
presence.

FiBST Edition. Only onb otheb copy is known, namely that which belonged to
Salv& and in which at least nine leaves in the middle were deficient. All the
bibliographers were ignorant of the existence of this first edition, until SalvA's
imperfect copy was seen by Branet. It is in signatures a-Q of eight leaves each. The
final sheet of poetry Nueva Coronacion contains eight leaves with the signature a. It
does not perhaps belong to the book, but it was evidently printed at the same time by
the same printer in uniform style.
This comedy was considered so licentious that it was at once suppressed by the
Inquisition, and nearly every copy of this original edition seems to have been
destroyed. It was reprinted two years later at Salamanca, but that edition under-
went ike same fate, and the book was never again reprinted in Spain, QntU our own
days.

and 1488 ; Salvu suggests the same origin, but adds that it may have been printed
by Fadrique Aleman at Burgos.

Obigimal edition. Very correotly printed with a good fount of Spanish types ;
marked by few typographical errors, among which I see in a couple of places scrivia
and Spanoles. It is therefore tolerably certain that this excessively rare book was
printed in Italy, and either at Naples or at Milan, more probably in the former city.
The second part is an excuse for the siege and sacking of Rome, and a defence of the
Emperor as not responsible for it. The author says, however, in his address Al
Lector that if he is anywhere in error, it i^ through ignorance not malice, '* pues en
todo me someto a la correction y juyzio dela santa yglesia, la qual confiesso por
madre."
Both Dialogues are in the same type and have 34 lines to the page. There is
no foliation. The signatures of the Mercuric are A — I in eights, and E 2 leaves of
which the second is blank. Of the second Dialogue, &— « in eights, and d in ten
leaves. It is the circumstance of the signatures being mostly octaves, that
induced Boehmer to call this book a large 8vo., and he is perhaps technically
right. But the shape of the book is undeniably quadrate. Only three other
copies seem to be known, all in Germany, and one of the three imperfect.
The vellum cover of the above copy is the original one, and it bears a faded
inscription on the outside, written about 1580, which seems to be **A xeres qui
est d'aquesto libro vero possessore.*' The name is Spanish ; the language is
miked Latin, Spanish, and Italian.

Two volumes of ezcessive rarity, both bearing on the title the curioas wood-

standing figare pointing to the crown which rests above the narrow arm of the
letter. The motto is " Estrecho el camino de la vida y es ancho el de la per-
dicion." The place and printer's name are considered to be pseudonymous, and
to indicate the press of Jean Grespin at Geneva ( — the man who printed the
original edition of Foxe's Martyrs in 1557).

has ever been seen in the book-anctions except Lord Staart de

example is a very fine one, and so large that Salv& suspected it to bo a

extraordinary rarity of the book may be easily inferred.

Small folio, Roman Letter, First Edition ; light brown morocco^ giU
edges (Zaragoza, 1555) 8 S J
Consisting of 6 preliminary leaves and 156 leaves of text (numbered 1-159
erroneously). The signatures are A, 6 leaves; a-n in sixes; o, 7 leaves; p-z in
sixes, A eignt leaves, B four leaves, and G five leaves. The book is so rare that I am
unable to ascertain whether there was a final leaf of colophon or not.
Brunet describes the edition of 1562, and, in his note upon it, says that the first
edition of " Valladolid, 1556 " is very rare. In the Spanish Ticknor there is a
similar but still briefer allusion ; but the date is evidently taken from that of the
Privilege, which is signed by " Yo la Princesa " at Valladolid in 1555. The privilege
was, however, granted to the Zaragoza printer " Por quanto vos Miguel de ^^pil^
librero vezino de Caragova haveys hecho recopilar de latin en romance al Maestro
Valles el libro." Consequently the first edition was printed at Zaragoza, not at
Valladolid, as described above. Amongst the preliminary pieces there is '* £1 autor
al pio Lector," which was not reprinted in the 1562 edition ; also six columns of
Errata, and a statement that " Quedan se recopilando las guerras que succediero en
Italia. . ."

The first priktbd collection of any of Lope de Vega's Comedies. It is un-
mentioned by Salv&, Brunet, and Gallardo ; and it came to Ticknor's knowledge only
in time to be referred to in his last English edition. (It was a single copy found in
Germany which he described.) The names of the writers besides Lope are not given
in the book ; bat No. 6 is the Carlos el Perseguido of Lope (with numerous passages
in the text which were altered in the edition of 1604) — No. 4» " Comedia de la libertad
de Castilla por el Conde Feman Goncales, en lengna antiga," is not the play of the
same name by Lope, but totally distinct. No. 5, " Hazafias del Cid y su Muerte,
con la tomada de Valencia/' is not the second Cid comedy of Guillen de Castro. As
to the Amigos Enojados, and the No. 1 and No. 2, their titles are not to be found
in Salv&'s list. According to Ticknor, at least three of the Comedies are by Lope.
The book consists of title and leaves numbered 1 — 272. On the title is an auto-
graph, " Jes de Jamet a Seville ce 24 d'Avril, 1604."

even a less curious and interesting fragment of antiquity than this is. It is the note-

of high position. The original is in the British Museum.

The fact that the second part was twice printed or partly printed, was evidently
unknown to Ximeno (Escritores de Valencia, 1747). but he says : *' Este tomo no se

Very few books have such a history as this. The author worked on it for more
than forty years before he began to print. It is absolutely certain that the first
volume was issued by Navarro in 1564, with all the necessary licences, etc., but not a
single copy is known. Of Vol. II, we have plain proof that he printed two editions,
both done in 1564, the second intended to correct or supplement the first ; and yet,
as Ximeno declared a century and a half ago, no complete printed copy of either is
known. Of Vol. Ill, the edition which Vicyana himself calls the first, was printed
off rapidly so as to be presented to the King on his entrance into Valencia on the
14th April, 1564 ; while of the second edition, which as he says he was even then
progressing with, Ximeno seems to have had a knowledge that it was completed
in 1564, but I know of no copy. Vol. IV was printed no doubt in Barcelona
80 as to escape the hostility of the Valencian nobles, but even it is rare.

insufficient. The Confutatorium bears its own evidence of place and time, and it

This volume contains ten stories, which the lady augmented by a second part of
ten more in 1647. Salvd, who had no edition before that of 1647, knew nothing of
the bibliography, and cited Brunet for a statement that the first edition of the first
part had appeared at Madrid in 1636, and been followed by reprints in 1637, one at
Madrid and one at Zaragoza. But from the preUminary pieces of the latter we see
that Jos. de Valdiyielso gave his Aprovacion at Madrid on 2nd Jane, 1636, and Juan de
Mendieta his, also at Madrid, on the 4th June, 1636 (printed by evident mistake 1626).
The Licence is dated Zaragoza, May, 1635. We are therefore left in uncertainty
and find it difficult to take Branet on trust.

The licence by Mendieta is here printed with the date 4 June, 1634, which
is perhaps the true one.
The tale of the Prevenido Engafiado in the first part of these Novels is
sufficient in itself to stamp Dofia Maria as one of the most licentious writers in
the Spanish language. It contains a succession of lascivious adventures ingeniously
strung together to prove that women can always succeed in betraying their
lovers and their husbands, and that no precaution can frustrate their indecent
desires.

From a close comparison of this book with the Certamen Poeticum (Obres y
Trobes) printed at Valencia (in 1474) and the Salustio printed in the same city in
1475, Salva was enabled to assert that the Babbi Samuel was also printed at Valentia
in either of those two years. It is consequently one of the first books produced by
the press in Spain. No other copy is known.

The extraordinary rarity of these highly important volumes arises from the limited
and private nature of the impressions. It is stated upon good authority that only
fifty copies were struck ofiF by order of the great Cardinal Ximenez.
In these two volumes we have what is virtually the most ancient liturgy of the
Latin Church, originating not with SS. Isidore and Udephonsus, to whom the com-
pilation is assigned, but with earlier times when Christian Rome was still Greek, and
the bishoprics of Numidia, Spain, Gaul and Lombardy constituted the Latin Church.

commenced in 1502, and cost the Cardinal 50,000 ducats. In it the
New Testament in Greek was printed for the first time, but was only
allowed to be sold after the Death of Leo X in 15'22, he having strictly
Srohibited the sale of the Bible. The death of Cardinal Ximenea,
"ovember 8th, 1517, may also have cansed a delay in the publication.

1523 BATALLA DE LEPANT. (Poema Catalan en octavas, sin nombre de
autor), large 8vo. red calf gilt Printed in Paris about 1845-50
The MS. which was given to Tastu to print from, appeared to him to be in a
sixteenth-century hand. It had no name or title, and he only printed four copies as
proofs, of which this is one on Dutch paper. His own note on the fly-leaf attests the
fact. The book was never brought to publication, and it remains, therefore, still
an unpublished poem. The first lines of verse are

Their historical interest is considerable, as they were published for a political purpose
to show the ancient and confirmed rights of the Catalan people by way of remonstrance

insurrection of 1640.

This ooUection of twenty-fonr unpublished Valenoian poems is perhaps the work
of Luis Gatala, one of the trobadores of Valencia, who contributed Coplas to the
** Obra de la Goncepcio de la Mare de Dea '' of 1486, and who had already (according
to Faster) contributed to the ** Obres y Trobes '* of 1474. My conjecture is based on
the fact that Luis Gatala wrote work of the kind, and that a couple of notes in the
Yolume itself show that it belonged to the Gatala family in the sixteenth century.
One of these notes is as follows : —
'* Jo Yiscent Gatala, cavalier, confese aver rebut de vos Pere Miquel cavalier y
abitador de la vila de Gastello de la Plana vin Hires de preu de una casa que esta en
lo carer magor, de front de casa de Giner . . .'*
This was written about 1590. The other note is a little later, and seems to
read *' moneginis Gatali, cavalier de La Plana." Gastellb de la Plana is a little to
the north of Valencia.

Muntaner's Chronicle was written in 1325-1328. Ticknor praises the exact yet
animated character of the narrative, and compares it to that of Froissart. The
Catalan knight was, however, a warrior, not a priest, and wrote in the spirit of a man
who had fought in thirty battles and suffered wounds and captivity. His work
refers more to the three successors of Don Jaime than to the Conquistador himself,
as it is a record entirely of personal experiences, and he had only, as a boy of nine,
seen that King a few years before his death.

The Sinner Redeemed is a curious religious romance or vision in which great
numbers of speakers argue pro and con on the subject of the immolation of Christ.
Among the characters are Plato, Moses, Isaac, Solomon, Eve, and Lucifer. The
afifair is debated in a court in which the Almighty presides ; and in the last chapter
of this first book (no more was printed) the Virgin refutes the speech of Orpheus, i
and consents voluntarily to the death of her Son. !.'

The first Romance of Chivalry printed in Spafn.
Original edition, of extraordinary rarity. Only three other copies
are known — one in the British Museum, a second (imperfect) in the
library of the University of Valencia, and a third which had belonged
to the Royal Library at Lisbon before it came (somehow) into the hands
of the banker Salamanca, and which is probably once more in its original
home.
The author, Johannot de Martorell, a knight, dedicated his work to
Dom Ferdinand of Portugal (son of the King, Dom Duarte) in 1460. H e
professes to have rendered it from English into Portuguese, for the
prince's behoof, and thence into Valencian for the benefit of his com-
patriots. There is a certain amount of truth in the statement of an
English original since the incidents of the early chapters are derived
from Guy of Warwick, and the central figure in that part of the story
is called Guilhem of Waroych, an Earl who emerges from a monastery
to conquer heathen invaders of England and then returns to it after
having revealed himself to his wife. The origin and laws of the Order
of the Garter are given, differing somewhat in the account of its creation
from the ordinary story. After Tirant appears on the scene, the romance
seems to be independent of any original, and incidents of love and war
are thickly crowded in the record ; which deals henceforward chiefly
with the Empire of Constantinople rescued from the Turks by the
hero. Tirant is engaged to the Emperor's daughter, but his courtship
is protracted, and other ladies tempt him in a great many warm passages.
He wins, however, the renown of a chaste and valiant warrior, and

finally dies withont his reward. The mourning princess dies npon his
dead body, and the tale is ended. Martorell would perhaps have finished
it difEerently, but he died when only three parts of the work had been
written. The fourth part was composed at the request of Dona Isabel
de Loris by the magnificent knight Masfci Johan de Galba. Cervantes
did not know the story in its original Valencian form, but only in its
Spanish translation (printed in 1511). He makes the Curate save it
from the holocaust of romances, and declare that *' Por su estilo es este I
el mejor libro del mundo."

This original edition of Tomich's Chronicle is apparently unknown to all biblio- i

unbroken under the rubric of cap. 13 m this) and the work ends with the death of !?
Ferdinand's predecessor in 1479.
The title is absent (if there was one) ; leaf a 1 is missing, but it was apparently
a blank leaf. The signatures run in eignts and extend here to ii 6, which is followed

When Barros wi'ote this Bomance he was little over twenty years of age. The
first edition was printed at Coimbra in 1520. In the eighty- second chapter, Fanimor
is made to deliver a set of prophecies in verse in which he foretells the triumphs of
the Portuguese arms in the eastern oceans, giving a great number of geographical ^
names now familiar enough, but which in 1520 would have been utterly strange to
most people.

2 vols, in 1, sm. folio, woodcut on the first title, and folding table; calf
gilt, from the Salvd library Lisboa, Antonio Alvarez, 164^3-1641
First Edition. It was produced in four parts (although, in accordance with the
1643 title-pages, only two are mentioned above) : Autos do Levantamcnto, 1641 ;
Chronica de Joam I, 1642 ; Cronica de Dom Dvarte, 1643 ; Cronica de Afifonso V
(1643) ; all with separate pagination. In Joam I, there are 4 preliminary leaves, and
pp. 1-406 ; in Don Duarte, pp. 1-61 and a leaf of table ; Affonso V, pp. 1-250, with
two postliminary leaves and a folding table ; in the Autos, 26 leaves unnumbered. —
These works are by Duarte Nunes do LeAo, and serve as a continuation of his
. CJtronicas dos Iteis which relate to an earlier period.
1677 Chronica del Rey D. Ioam . I . . . primeira parte . . composta porFemam
Lopez . . ; . . Segvnda parte . . composta por Femam Lopez; . .
Terceira parte . . composta por Gomez Eannes d' Azvrara ; — 3 vols in 1,
sm. folio, a little water-stained; limp vellum, rare
Lisboa, Antonio Aliiarez, 1644
These three parts are the original official chronicles out of which was compiled
the Chronicle in the preceding compilation made for Bodrigo da Cunha. Femam
Lopez was the first official historiographer of Portugal and lived between 1380 and
1460. Azurara was his immediate successor.
A speech of the Queen Leonore at the beginning of the book is worth quoting :
"By Saint Mary I what a goodly custoni have the English, who, in time of
peace, carry no arms nor care to go armed, but wear good white raiment on their
hands, like maidens ; and when they are at war, then they put their arms on, and
use them all the world knows how ! "

Small folio, First Edition; fine copy, ruled throughout, in a French
sixteenth century binding, gilt edges, with centre arid corner pieces
impressed in gold Lixhoa, [657
This first edition is so rare that only some three or four copies are known, and
this one is probably the finest of them all, with its blank leaf at the beginning and
blank leaf at the end. Mr. Walter de Grey Birch, at the time when he translated
the commentaries for the Hakluyt Society, confessed that he had " never been
sufficiently fortunate to see the first folio edition of 1557." The British Museum has,
however, acquired a copy since then.

This is the edition, usually considered the better of the two, which was used in
translating the book for the Hakluyt Society. It is also so rare that the number of
existent copies may be counted on the fingers.
There is a considerable difference in arrangement and in language between the
two editions. As a small example, in the dedication to Prince Sebastian in the issue
of 1557 the writer gives the name (Pero Gomez) of the soldier who apostrophized
over the grave of Alboquerque, while in the dedication to King Sebastian in the issue
of 1576, the old warrior is merely hum soldado.

First Edition of the first history of the New World. It is a book
of equal rarity and importance, and is to be found in very few libi-ai'ies.
I have never bad it but once before, about seventeen years ago.
As a production of the Spanish press, as a history of Spanish
doings, and as containing the five-years privilege of Dona Juana, in
the Castilian language, on the reverse of the second leaf, the First
Decade of Peter Martyr has its fitting place here. The letterings on
the map are in Spanish.
This map is a most interesting and valuable early specimen of
cartography. It gives Bermuda in the right upper angle with a
glimpse of Gibraltar to the east. The West Indian Islands arc given
with nearly approximate correctness in their shape and relative
position : Cuba, Jamaica, Hispanola, and San Juan (i.e. Puerto Rico)
i with the Lucaios (to the number of nineteen islets lying north of
j eastern Cuba and the western half of Hispaniola). North of Cuba, at
a distance apparently intended to represent some three hundred miles,
; there is a coast which seems to be a combination of the southern shore
i of Florida with that of the island of Bahama, and is marked Isla de
\ Beimeni parte. The coast of South American runs correctly from
Cape Gracias de Dios to the Cape of Santa Cruz (a little east of Cape
San Roque) in Brazil. To the west of Gracias de Dios it trends
erroneously towards the N.W., but the outline is fairly true as far as
the Gulf of Honduras.
In the description of the above copy the dedication to Ximenez
(with the map), and the first list of Errata are reckoned as folios 21, 22,
because their position in the book is such ; and Salva in describing
the volume by its signatures took them to be the fifth and sixth leaves
of signature c. The fact of the matter is that they were printed as a
INDIAS, AFRICA, ASIA.
single sheet of two leaves after the conclnBion of the Decas
between f 8 and g 1 ; evidontl^ as an addition to the teJ
dedication to Ximenez was written by Peter Martyr; the list o
was made by his friend Antonio de Nebrija who edited the wo
passage through the press. His first remark is " The iinskilfi
the typographers, who know scarce any Latin, has caused mo b
bnt little by having sapplied them with a correct copy of thet
of my friend the anthor." The preparation of the map was [
therefore an afterthonght. This woald accoant for its abs
moat copies of the book.

Santiago in 1737, hd. Galifomia, 1737
The author gives at the bepnning an oatline of the estoblishmert
jf the first MiaaioDB in Lower California in 1697, and a description of
bhe aeveral nations which inhabited the Peninsula, with a aketch of
their habits, cnstoms, and religion. The narrative of his personal
izperionces may be regarded as a necessary Supplement to Venegas,
whose account of the Mission of La Paz ends in 1734. The exciting
incidents which took: place between that year and 1737 are described
frith a singleness of purpose and a simplicity of manner beyond praise,
reminding the i-eader of Defoe.
This is a test of great importance in Califomian history, and ought
M be printed and translated. The writer's name, althongh not
ippearing in his book, can be identified from Clavigero.

there is an imprint, and folio 48 is entirely blank.
The second collection of Jesuit Letters in Spanish. The first had appeared
one year before at Zaragoza {see Alvarez, No. 1816).
This C!oimbra volume (of which there seems to have been no issue in the
Portuguese language) is extremely rare, so rare, indeed, as to have been unknown to
Brunet and his contmuator, and Graesse. The preface is by Manuel Alvarez, and
states that the number of letters received from the East and West, had become too
great for copying by hand to send to all the houses of the Company throughout Europe.
It had, therefore, been found advisable to print them. The letters in this volume are
25 in number, and begin with events of the year 1556 (those in the Zaragoza
collection having embraced the year 1554 and 1555). There are ten from Goa, four
from Japan, three from Africa, one from Malacca, and seven from various places in
India, dated from 1557 to 1561. The best known name among the writers is that
of Luys Frees.

de 1564. Small 4to. red morocco, gilt edges, from the Salvd library,
EXTEKMELY RARE Coimbra, 1565-64
Four preliminary leaves, followed by pp. 1-478 of text. The preface by Gypriano
de Soarez declares that it had been considered useful to combine all the letters
received from Japan since 1548, and print them in a volume ; and that the Spanish
language had been chosen for that purpose, because of its being generally known
throughout Europe. He calls Japan '* some oriental islands of white {people, now
newly discovered by the Portuguese." The text begins with a letter from Pablo
Japon to Ignatius Loyola, written from Goa in November, 1548.
The number of letters is very considerable (forty odd), and comprises two by
Francis Xavier. They are all from, or about Japan, and comprise the four which
appeared in the 1562 collection. The value of the book of 1564-65, is great, because
of its going back to the beginning, and thus forming the first entire collection of
Letters from Japan.

This is a new edition of the Coimbra volume of 1565, with a continuation
comprising the letters of 1563-1571. A life of Xavier, by Manuel de Acosta, is added
at the beginning.
There are nearly 90 letters in this edition.

This was the first act of homage to the Pope performed in the name of Joao II
(King of Portugal and Lord of Guinea) after the first discovery of the Cape of Good
Hope by Bartolomeu Dias. The orator expresses the expectation that as in the
previous year the Portuguese fleet had girdled the greater part of the circumference
of Africa, and had reached almost as far as Gape Prassum (Ptolemy's Cape Prassum,
corresponding to that which the Portuguese afterwards reached and named Cabo dos
Corrientes), where, as they supposed, the Arabian Gulf begins, they would soon be
able to announce the discovery of great nations towards Asia. He thought that the
remainder of the way would be only a matter of a few days (paucorum dierum) for
the seamen. The allusion is to the distance from the Cape of Good Hope to
Guardafui, although neither of them is mentioned by name.

Perh.\ps unique. Amongst the offerings to the Pope is included "another
world explored and discovered by our navigations. Though our ancestors doubted
whether there existed antipodes to us in the other hemisphere, far more of sky and
land have been unfolded there by the auspices of our sovereigns than lies open in
the whole extent of Europe. Why should I speak of the rich islands of the Indian
Sea, lately discovered, and already converted, as it were, into the suburban farms of
the Spaniards ? "

ExTBEMELY BABE FiBBT EDITION. It Is a book of grand and sumptuous
appearance, printed in very large Gothic type with 32 lines to the page. This work
I revolutionised the science of Navigation, and was the first to point out the deflection
of the needle. The date at which it was written appefiurs in some of the passages of
the earlier part of the book as 1545, but a year or two probably elapsed before the
author could finish it and get it ready for the press.
The instructions for map-making are not the least interesting pEirt of the text,
and would be found useful by many persons who are unable to understand the
principle of the wind-roses and rhumb-lines which cover the surface of old
hydrographic charts. But even here the acute intelligence of Cortes indicated the
defects of the plane system long before Mercator.

Lord Stuart de Eothesay^s arms on sides Bit'sselas, 1625
All editions of this important work are of great rarity. It is one of the
most valuable sources of information for the history of the Spanish conquest and
settlements in America ; as well as of the manners, language, and religions of the
aborigines.
Davila is the earliest writer who mentions the establishment of Printing in the
New World, and the fact that the Scala Coeli of St. Joannes Climaous translated by
his namesake Juan de Estrada from the Latin version, was entitled to the distinction
of being the first book printed in America (about 1535-6).

One of the most delightful books ever written: a soldier's story rendered

There are six preliminary leaves including the title; followed by leaves numbered
1-254 ; concluding with six unnumbered leaves of Table. — There is a different edition
bearing the same date, in which the title is engraved (not letterpress, as here) ; but
the question of priority has never been solved.

Privately printed for the use of the Council of the Indies, but not published. It
is the best statistical account that exists concerning the Spanish Empire in New Spain,
California, and Central America, embracing also short historical summaries, and was
considered by the King and Council to be a document of singular value for their own
information. It is to be presumed that only so many copies were printed as were
needed for official reference.

^ocumentos Manuscritos Mexicanos— con^muei.
original books a nofce in the handwriting of the eminent scholar Dn.
Carlos Signenza y Gongora, in which he states that during the tumult
which took place in Mexico on the 8th of June, 1692, when the mob
burned both the national and the municipal palace, he saved the
original Actas.
The value of these six volumes as historical documents cannot be
exaggerated, and anyone who has dedicated himself to the study of the
years immediately following the conquest, and who knows the impor-
tant part which the Municipal Councils of those times took in all public
affairs of consequence, will at once recognize their utility, because they
form not only the foundation of Colonial history, but to a certain extent
the foundation also of the history of a society and a civilization that
were disappearing.
The volumes contain also copies of a great number of ^^ Cedulas
Kbales," letters from important personages, such as Cortes, Alvarado,
and others.
A small part of these Acts has been printed in the Bolctiu
Municipal de Mexico, but merely in extracts, which have been edited
in such a careless manner, and issued in such a small number of copies,
that these volumes lose in consequence nothing either in value or
importance.
The letterpress title which was used for the first and second volumes
was taken or reprinted from the edition of part of the text prepared by
Ygnacio Bayon. On that of Vol. II, Ramirez altered in writing the
name of Rayon to that of Orozco; he did not make a similar change on
the title of Vol. I, although that volume is, without doubt, entirely in
his own handwriting.
This collection of MSS. fetched £140. at the Ramirez sale.

1956 DOCUMENTOS para la Historia Eclesiastica y civil de la NUEVA
Vise AY A, 3 vols, folio, neatly written MS. containing altogether over
2000 vp., calf, gilt back (Mexico, 1846-50)
This valuable collection consists of copies, from unpublished documents by
Manuel de la Vega and others in the last century, made for the late Jose de Bamirez.
A portion of the contents has since been printed in the Documentos para la Historia
de Mexico.
This collection fetched £7. 15« at the Ramirez sale.
1957 OPUSCULOS VARIOS : MS. in folio, 305 leaves, containing a col-
lection of miscellaneons documents, some originals and some transcinpts
(a few printed), ranging over different epochs, bnt relating mostly to
the last and present century, hf. calf, from the Bamirez library
Sec, xviiT-xix
The high official positions which the late Don J. F. Bamirez occupied at different
times, as a member of the several Cabinets and also of the Supreme Court of Mexico,
afforded him ample means of obtaining the documents which form this interesting
collection, in which an immense amount of historical and statistical information is
contained. It includes thirty interesting autograph letters from political personages
and diplomatic agents in Europe— such as Pascasio, Echevebria, Arrangoiz,
Valdivielso, Oseoueba, Jose Maria Luis Mora, Zavala, Comonfort, Mariano
BrvERA, and others — which are interesting for the modern history of Mexico. It
also comprises a MS. copy of Tapia Zenteno's **Noticia db la lenoua Huasteca'*
on 41 leaves.

One of the most valuable modem publications on the Discovery and Colonization
of America, and the condition of the Indian peoples at the time of the C!onquest of
Mexico. The documents had been unpublished and the first two volumes have
nearly all been printed by the personal labour of the Editor. Only 12 copies of the
former of these handsome books, and 26 of the latter, were printed on Large Paper.

The author of the three important treatises which constitute this work was born in
Mexico in 1538, son of a Spanish father and a Mexican mother. The publication,
commenced by Bamirez, was interrupted after the appearance of Vol. I, by the fall of
Maximilian, and was only resumed and completed several years later.
From the nature of the composition, and the writer^s exceptional possession of
sources of information, closed to others, — Fray Diego Duran's history must take a
foremost place among books of its kind. It is an indispensable companion to
Bahagun, Torquemada, and Ixtlilxochitl.

now in the Lenox library.

There is nothing in any of the early books on America to compare with Enciso's
narrative of his colloquy with some chiefs in Tierra Firme, from whom he claimed
the possession of their lands as having been bestowed by the Pope upon the King of
Spain. They were not satisfied with the argument, saying that the Pope must
have been drunk when he gave away what did not belong to him, and the King
must have been an idiot to accept such a gift. So they fought Enoiso and killed a
couple of men, but the Spaniards triumphed.

The principal part of this work relates to the manners and conversion of the
Indians and the progress of religion in America. It contains also valuable biographical
sketches of the friars who studied the native languages, and accounts of the works
they composed in this branch of philology.
On p. 122 is the statement that Fray Joan de Estrada translated the work of
S. Joannes Climacus, and that " this was the first book printed in the New World.
It was in the year 1535."

Original and only Edition of this rare work, which was prohibited by the Koyal
Council of the Indies at the time of publication. The order was revoked in 1729,
but was again issued in 1731, and by that time most of the copies had perished.
The author was one of the followers of the great Hurtado de Mendoza, and was
an actor in, as well as an eye-witness of, many of the events recorded in his work.

The first work upon the New World, in which the subject was
treated by the pen of an able writer. Although published by order of
the Emperor, it quickly became so scarce that we must suppose there
was an intentional suppression on the part of the authorities, as soon
as it was foimd that the book afforded too much information to the
rivals of Spain.
It consists of 54 leaves, all foliated except the title and the last
two leaves. In his postscript, Oviedo states that his larger history was
already written and lying in MS. in San Domingo ; and that when he
returned thither, he would copy it out fairly for transmission to
the Emperor.

33 vols. sm. 4to. hd, Mexico, 1784-1817 7 10 i
Although there are occasional imperfections caused by the tearing of leaves and
the occurrence of wormholes, this is an unbroken set of all the volumes published
from the beginning in 1784 down to the middle of 1817. In 1810 the title was
changed to Gazeta del Gobiemo de Mexico. From 1784 to 1793, there were 5 vols,
produced, at the rate of a volume for every two years. 1794 and 1795 had a volume
for each year. In 1796-1805, five volumes came out, at the old rate of production.
1806, 1807, 1811, had one volume for each year. During 1808, 1809, 1810, 1812-17
there were two volumes printed for each year.
Such a set as this is of extreme rarity and of great value.

A very rare and valuable book of early travel in and near India, of which Brunet
remarks that it is so rare as to have been wanting in the best collections of Voyages
and Travels sold during many years past.
The first 46 pp. are all about India, the Mogul Empire, and the English factories.
He then describes his wanderings in Persia, Turkey in Asia, Syria, and his home
voyage along the Mediterranean.

Extremely rake. It is a very curious work, containing an account of the first
Church Establishments in Spanish America, and oiher important matters relating
to its early history, as the introduction of arts^ And letters, printing, etc. The
accounts of the various races of Indians, their creeds and manners, etc., are also
highly valuable. At p. 23 of the first volume, Davila notices the introduction of
printing into Mexico in 1532, mentions the first printer, Juan Pablos, and states that
the first book printed was the well-known Scala Paraditi of Joannes Climacus.

An important book, written as the report of a Commission between 1735 and
1740 for the information of the Home government concerning the abases of Spanish
role in Peru. It was kept secret as a State paper, and remained fruitless because the
authorities at Madrid found the task of reformation too vast for their abilities ; and
it was not till the colonies had become separated from the mother-country that a
foreigner obtained the chance of seeing and publishing the Memorias Secretas.
Most of the copies were circulated in America, and eagerly read.

woodcut Map of the World occupying the two open pages
of a single sheet; a veiy large andjine copy in a seventeenth-
century hf morocco binding Zaragoza^ 1552-53 85 0 0
In the map the design is continued from one side of the world to
the other by the north Just as though the sheet were to be placed upon
a globe, and fall in equal divisions from the Arctic Pole. Thus the
extreme North-west of America joins the extreme North-east of Asia,
and the extreme North-west of Europe is attached to the extreme
North-east of America. The conception is a remarkably bold one, and
better calculated (notwithstanding the natural errors of the Arctic
portion) to give a true idea of the world than the right and left double-
hemisphere maps of other cartographers.
This is a great historical work, indispensable to the student of
Spanish affairs in America after the conquest, notwithstanding the
charges made by Bernal Diaz against Gomara of occasiocal inaccuracy.
216
BERNARD QUARITCH'S BIBLIOTHECA HISPANA.
The dedication to Charles V begins with these remarkable words :
"The greatest event which has happened since the creation of the
world (leaving aside the incarnation and death of Him who created it)
is the discover}* of the Indies."
Gomara prefixes a curious address to intending translators, warning'
them to be accurate and to measure the full significance of the
pregnant Spanish phrases, also to pay special attention to proper names.
He further declares that he is writing the book in Latin, so that the
translators may take no trouble in that language. His Latin version
has never appeared.
The two woodcut leaves peeceding the text, containing maps,
ONE of the Western and the other of the Eastern Hemisphere,
SEEM to have survived ONLY IN FOUR OR FIVE COPIES, yet the book is
imperfect without them; and the author in his address **a los
Impresores,*' by whom he meant future reprinters of his work, begged
them to omit nothing which he had taken care to insert in his original
edition, maiormente las tablas de la tierra. It was this warning which
induced Bellero in Antwerp to issue a small Tra^a dela Tien-a with his
edition of 1554, but this is also a rare map now. The difference
between Bellero*s map and Gomara's proves that the Spanish Grovern-
ment had effectually suppressed the latter, and that the Antwerp
publisher was obliged to have a new design prepared, which is in some
respects decidedly inferior to the original in geographical accuracy.
In the same volume, there is bound up at the end the rare first
edition of Ciena's Chronica del Peru, Parte Primera, 1553 ; but as its
two ultimate leaves are torn and defective, the value of the Cie^a is
not considered in the price of the Gomara.

The "Prologo del Interprete " and the *' Introductoria " both show that Maestre
Bodrigo was in advance of many of his contemporaries. In the former he mentions
the various translations of Marco Polo and alludes to the work of exploration being
carried on in the West, South, and East, by Spanish and Portuguese seamen. The
Introduction is a piece of over seven columns of print and well worthy of careful
reading. His object is to inveigh against the false notions and deductions flowing
from the improper use of the word '• Indies " as applied to the islands discovered by
INDIAS, AFRICA, ASIA.

Columbus and others in the Western Ocean, and a good deal of curious information
is incidentally thrown in. One stray piece of gossip is not without humourous
interest; it was customary to call negroes Juan Blanco ^ and negresses Margarita.
As the book was first printed at Seville in 1503, it is an earlier addition to the
Bibliotheca Americana than Mr. Harrisse has made it. He puts it down, at second
hand, under 1529.

Mexico to the Gulf of Guinea in Longitude. This is not only a rare hook, hut it has
the advantage of the first production of this map, which was repeated in Martin
Cortes' treatise on the same subject. The work of Cortes is, however, still rarer, and
its text is more important than that of Medina.

Very few copies of this great national work have reached Europe. It is a
collection of the Belations made by the Viceroys (in obedience to a wise mandate of
the crown) in which each outgoing governor informed his successor of the nature and
duties of his post, of the distribution of offices and presidencies, of the privileges of
the natives, their hereditary customs and character — in short, statistics of everything
that could be needed.

binding, edges gilt Angelopoli, 1770
After four preliminary leaves (General Title, two leaves of introduction, and title
of Explanations) the Office of the Mass and a liturgical commentary follow on
pp. 1-137. The Horse Minores occupy pp. 1-36 of a new pagination ; and the Com-
mune Sanctorum pp. 37-198. The first plate represents the fire -ordeal in which
the Mozarabic Liturgy conquered the Roman, and faces page 1 of the Missa part.
The third plate represents the combat- ordeal, and faces p. 1 of the Horie. The
second plate is a Crucifixion facing p. 53 of the Missa. All three are signed by the
engraver, "Josephus Nava Angelopoli." The title on the fourth preliminary leaf
referred to above is " Explanationes Universae Apologise et Dilucidationes . .
elaboratae . . fuerimt ab lUmo. D. D. Francisco Antonio Lorenzana . . Archie-

passages on p. 220 make it appear that the writer was identical with the Jesuit Jose
Ortega, who published a Cora Dictionary at Mexico in 1732 ; but the prologue shows
that he incorporated in a continuous narrative the reports of others besides himself.
He laboured for thirty years in Lower California, and in the regions between the
Colorado and the Qila rivers ; and on page 242 we learn that he had the use of the
MS. papers of Eusebio Kino, in which *' estan coordenados sus viajes, empressas, y
descnbrimientos." The author enlarges upon purely historical events and anthro-
pological facts to a greater degree than most ecclesiastical writers.

This was apparently printed privately in support of the rights of the secular
Giergy as against the grasping encroachments of the Frayles and the Padres.
Palafox had attempted to make things right in 1640, and the Home government was
in agreement with him, but the religious orders always contrived to arrest the hand

California.
Serra was bom in the Isle of Mallorca, in 1713. After visiting Mexico he went
to California in 1771 and founded several Missions there, but finally returned to
Mexico, where he died in 1789. Palou succeeded Serra in the Presidency of the
Californian Missions.

from the Ramirez library 1563
This is the extremely babe fiody of Laws relating to the Indies, known as
Puga's Cedulario (being collected by Vasco de Puga, Oydor of the Royal Audience
of the Indies), and is the first attempt at a **Becopilacion" or American Code.
Father Fischer's copy, which was wormed and wanted the title, sold in 1869 for
£23. All the copies hitherto known (except the above two) have the same defect,
even that in the British Museum. It was the calf copy above described from
which Icazbalceta obtained his facsimile of the title.

Perfect and excessively babe. Probably no more than two or three copies are
extant, and one of them, at least, seems to have been imperfect.
Ollation : 8 preliminary leaves, including the title; pp. 1-108; a blank leaf;
pp. 109-183 (with many faults of pagination, the last page being really 174). By
signatures, the book is collated thus : preliminaries, 8 leaves ; A-L in eights.
The only correct bibliography of this little volume is given by Mr. Field (Indian
Bibliography) with the mistake however of describing it as small 4to. instead of
small 8vo. In Brunet's continuation Mr. Field's description is copied and the error
emphasized.
In the same volume there is, bound up with the Arenas, **Summa . Novi

comparison with the printed book of Father Leon which has that title, we have been
unable to discover any relation between the one and the other. The contents of this

I. An extensive Gonfessabio, consisting of thirty-fom' leaves, including six blank.
II. A collection of Sermons and religious instructions, occupying ona hundred and
ninety leaves, of which sixteen are blank.
On one of the blank leaves we read * al Pe. Oracio Garoohi/ which seems to

beautifully written Mexican letter or protest addressed by the notables of Mexico,
Tezcuco, etc. to Philip II. The blank space above the text on p. 1 is filled with a
long account by one of the monks at whose request it had been prepared for
transmission to the King, after passing through the hands of Miguel Navarro,
Geronimo Mendieta, and Aionso de Molina. It failed to reach the monarch, and the
kindly monk says bitterly " Bien se colige de aqui como estos nuestros hijos son
inayudables.'* A modem Spanish translation is added. There are further the
two following printed documents which we have not seen mentioned by any
bibliographer.
The first is — ^Mota. Alabado en Mexicano, qve contiene los principales Misterios

The other is a Proclamation in Mexican and Spanish, signed F. S. Tepca, dated
Tolnca, Sept. 25, 1847, in which he csJls upon the Indians to rise against the North
American mvader : a tingle sheet broadside, " Nosotros estamos destinados a ser

On the first page it has the following title in the handwriting of
Father Sahagun, the lower half of which is torn away : —
" Signense nnos sermones de dominicas y de sanctos en lengua
Mexicana: no trazadidos de scrmonario algano sino compnestos
nuevaraente a la medida de la capacidad de los Indios : breves en
materia y en lengaage congrao vennsto y llano facil de entender para

y aiiadir este ano de 1563, en este mes de Julio infra octavam Visita-
tionis. . . . fray bnardio. de Sahagun." Some pages are absent at the
beginning, and a few pages further on we meet with another note in the
handwriting of Father Sahagun : — " Signense nnos sermones breves on
la lengua Mexicana: fray bnardio. de Sahagun." It should be remarked
here that the imperfections, whatever they may be, are not of recent
origin ; the book seems to be now precisely as it was when Sahagun
began to revise it and wrote the headings 1 now quote.
On folio 91, the dominical sermons conclude with another note in
Mexican in Father Sahagnn's handwriting, and signed by him ; then
follows a blank leaf, and on the following commences a ''Sanctoral" on
six leaves, the end wanting. This MS. is undoubtedly one of the most
curious and interesting volumes in the Mexican language ever offered
for sale. In his knowledge of the Aztec language and literature,
Sahagun has probably never had an equal. The historical work which
he wrote concerning the Mexican empire, and which has been published
by Bustamente, brought down upon him the abuse of his fellows, both
lay and clerical, for aiding, as they said, to perpetuate the idolatry of
the nation.
231 SAHAGUN. Exercicios quotidianos en lengua Mexicana, sm. 4to. MS.
plainly written, 86 pp., sd, Mexico, 1574 ( — 1590)
The MS. begins thus : — " Comienza an exeroicio en lengua Mexicana, sacado del
sancto Evangelio y distribuido por todos los dias de la semana oontiene meditaciones
devotas muy provechosas para cualquier zpiano que se quiere Uegar a Dios." At the
end, there is the inscription : " Este exercicio halle entre los yndios, no se qulen se le
dio ; tenia muchas f altas e incongruidades. Mas con verdad se puede dezir que se hizo
de nuevo que no que se emendo. Este ano de 1574, fray Bernardino de Sahagun."
The MS. is in perfect preservation, and the handwriting is clear and legible — in
fact, too boldly written to be the autograph of Si^agun. This is probably identical
with the single MS. of the work which is mentioned by Beristain as being in his time
in the College of St. Gregory at Mexico, and which he seems to have considered the
original, just as Bamirez believed this to be.

2244 VOCABULARIO OTOMI, folio, MS,, over 700 pp,, containing a copious
Spanish-Ofomi Dictionary, hf, bd. [ca, 1800] 10 0 0
Pimentel, who examined this MS., asserted that the language was Mazahua
(there being no specification in the book itself of the speech it refers to), and it was
so considered until Icazbalceta declared his ^lief that it was Otomi, and a comparison
of the text of the Lord's Prayer, which is given by Bancroft in both those tongues,
makes it almost indisputable that the vocabulary here is Otomi, not Mazahua. Its
interest and value are in any case very great. The state and condition of the MS.
leave nothing to desire. We have been unable to discover anything respecting the
author.
Speaking of etymological affinities Prescott (Conquest of Mexico) says, *' a
remarkable exception is found in the Othomi or Otomie language, which covers a
wider territory than any other but the Mexican, in New Spain ; and which, both in
its monosyllabic composition, so different from those around it, and in its vocabulary,
shows a very singular affinity to the Chinese It stands alone among the idioms
of the New World, as the Basque— the solitary wreck, perhaps, of a primitive age —
exists among those of the Old." .*

perhaps unique Sevilla, Glemente Hidalgo, 1603
The missing leaves are, the first preliminary leaf that follows the title, and
signatures Dd3, Dd6, L7 and M3. The Vocabulary contains both Quiohua-Spanish
and Spanish-Quichua alphabets. I have never seen another copy.
l^THERTo UNKNOWN. There is a hint in Ludewig of the existence of an edition
of Torres Rubio, printed at Seville in 1603 : he had no doubt heard of the preceding
anonymous book and supposed it to be a Torres Bubio. This work has been in fact
known only through the edition of Lima, 1614, which is always described under the
name of the printer, Francisco del Canto, and supposed to be his own production.
From a comparison with the larger book, which bears Holguin's name, and from
some words in the latter which make reference to a previous essay, — we are enabled
to conclude that the present Grammatica j Vooabulario, 1603, is simply the
unrecognized first edition of the large work printed and published by Del Canto in
1607-8, with fiolguin's authorship revealed on the title-pages.
[There is of course a possibility that the work of 1603 may be a modified edition
of the Arte y Vooabulario of Domingo de San Tomas, published in 1560, but there
are several reasons against it.]

hAsta agora se ha impresso, 12mo. somewhat water-stained, in the original
limp vellum, En los Reyes (i.e. Lima) Francisco del Canto 1614
A slightly altered reprint of the Seville book of 1603. The preface " al Letor " is
signed by Francisco del Canto, and contains the words, " He hecho est Vooabulario",
which have hitherto been taken as sufficient warrant for assigning the authorship of
the work to him. Although he had already in 1607-8 printed Holguin's quarto
Dictionary and Grammar, he reprinted this original anonymous work of Holguin in

lead to the opinion that this was actually a first edition, but it is really only a first

ceded it, in the words: "en que salen a luz de nuevo las cosas que faltavan en el
Vocabulario." Furthermore the Prologo al Lector in the Arte contains these words :

unquestionably the Grammatica y Yocabulario of Seville, 1603. In the earlier part of
the Prologo referred to, he states that this Arte was composed for the purpose of
forming preachers, and that, for the simpler object of enabling priests to receive
confessions in the native tongue, there already existed one (esa ya la habia).

One of the most magnificent books on the Art- Monuments of Spain, and
probably superior to any other in the accuracy and learning of its author. The
series of illustrations was selected from works of art which were excellent by reason
of their historical character or the beauty of their execution. Only 275 copies wer6
printed, of which about 150 were absorbed by subscribers among the aristocracy of
Spain. The book may therefore be regarded as virtually unpublished, and as likely
before long to become a costly rarity.
"His great work, the * Iconografia Espafiola,' published in 1853 and 1864,
contains seventy-four 'portraits, statues, and mausoleums,' dating *from the eleventh
to the seventeenth centuries.' Not only the original drawings, but the text in Spanish
and French, were his own work. Amongst the gems of this collection may be named
the bas-reliefs of Charles V and his Empress, attributed by Cean Beimudez to
Pompeo Lconi, and now in the Museum at Madrid; portraits of Philip II when
young, and in his old age ; the unhappy Don Carlos, Don Juan de Austria, Philip's
wives, and the famous 'one-eyed' Princess of Eboli. That of Heman Cortes is
exquisitely finished." — Athenamn, April 10th, 1890.

Of the old masters, there are 29 specimens of Velasquez, 5 of Jose Ribera, 4 of
Mnrill'o ; Coello, Tristan, Mazo, March, Pereda, and Zurbaran, are represented in
single pieces; there are 26 by Goya. Amongst the modern, there are Martinez
Espinosa, with 16 examples, Francisco Torras with 21, and Galvan, Fortuny, Bosales,
and others. From the unfinished condition of the third volume, and the absence of
a list of the plates which that volume should contain, it seems likely that the w^ork
was suspended. Such as it is, the collection is a splendid achievement of Spanish
Art. In the copy above described, beyond the number of 36 plates (1-32, and
4 unnumbered) in Vol. Ill, three engraver' s-proofs of three of the etchings are added,
raising the number to 39.

This superb series of plates was never completed upon any settled plan so as to
form a regular Gallery, but it was to all intents and purposes the first Madrid Gallery.
Some of the plates were engraved in Borne and Paris, probably as far back as 1770,
but all the coppers were done for the King of Spain and kept in the Calcografia de la
Ymprenta Beat, in which institution they were printed and issued as separate prints.
Most of the engravers* work was done in Madrid between 1792 and 1799, but it still
went on occasionally till 1858. The greater ease and rapidity with which Madrazo
had lithographed the Boyal collection put an end to the fine but tedious process of
copper-engraving.

An exquisite volume, inside and outside. Besides being one of the most beautiful .
books ever produced in the department of ornamental art applied to calligraphy, it is
also perhaps the very rarest when perfect. The following is a collation of this
edition. — Title, with engraved intitulation (it is letterpress in the first edition) and
engraved borders ; dedication, 3 leaves, the author's portrait occupying the reverse
of the third leaf ; text, 8 leaves of letterpress framed within woodcut borders ; Siguense

printer's mark. — The engraved borders to the letterpress are all added in this edition;
as well, also, as several of the engraved pages, which bear date 1550. The letter-
press also is augmented in this edition, but on the other hand a few of the recipes for
varnish, etc. are omitted. The inscription round the author's portrait shows that he
was born in 1528.

Collation : A 4 leaves, B 10 leaves ; C-G eight leaves each ; H 4 leaves. In
this copy B 1 is missing (which corresponds to C 1 in the 1550 edition) for which a
duplicate of D 4 is inserted. At the end there are added, from the 1550 edition, 14
leaves, chiefly of text, concerning the materials to be used in writing.
The calligrapher, Juan de Yciar, of Biscay, was ably seconded and assisted by the
engraver, Jean de Vingles, a Frenchman ; and their united labour achieved a master-
piece of fine decoration. Vingles' initials and mark occur in several places, and his
full name appears in the first woodcut border of the second edition ; but his name is
not given on the title-page of any but the first edition.

THIRD E D I T I O N.
The FIRST Edition and its two Supplements were published in
India in the years, respectively, 1858 and 1862, and the SECOND
Edition was also published in India, in 1873.
The THIRD Edition, published in London in 1885, contains 35,000
Articles, with 16,000 Index headings.
THIS work brings together, up to date, and makes available for
ready reference, the widely dispersed afid invaluable information,
whether Commercial, Industrial, or Scientific, which exists relating
to India, Further India, and the East Indies generally.
The Geographical Beview^ in noticing the Second Edition, said : —
** There has, indeed, hitherto been no way of learning anything of
India, except by accumulating a large library. ... It is not too
much to say that Dr. Balfour has now supplied this want."

the Almighty within a mandorla ; Music and text together
on every page ; in oaken boards covered with goatskin^ the

Probably written in North Italy. The Gothic writing is very fine
and regular thronghoufc. Towards the end there are additions of about
the same age bat in a different hand. In the original scribe's work
we find the Office of the Trinity, and in the supplementary part that
of the Crown of Thorns — two very early examples of their use. The
picture of the Almighty referred to above is painted on a bine ground,
the seated Deity is robed in white, red, and green ; he has light brown
hair and a short reddish-brown beard, and is represented as a yonng
man. The nimbns is green dotted with white and bears a yellow
cross. The drawing is as rude and archaic as though it were a
faithful copy from a model of the tenth century. The mandorla is
edged with red, yellow, and green.

There are kbomes given to many of the metrical passages. The book
was formerly in Dr. Askew's Collection, in whose catalogue it is
described: Codex memb. vetust. SaDc. forte XII si non antiquior. —
An interesting quarto codex, written on 113 leaves, averaging 24
centimetres in height by 18 in. width, with 18 lines of text to the page,
therefore widely spaced, as are also the individual words. The scribe
does not seem to have been sure of his Greek. An introduction and
commentary of nearly equal antiquity are added in the margins, with
some corrections and glosses, or notes upon difficult words ; and there
are a few additional notes by a late XYth century reader.

These docaments were used in the enqaizy institiited by the House of Lords upon

wooden panel (llf X 9i inches), enclosed in a modem frame About 1400 21 0 0
This cnrioas ancient picture of a well-known subject contains twenty-eight figures
painted in distemper on a gold ground, with a rubricated intitulation at the tap
*' 'H KoifiKTis (8%e) TTJi Biotokov." The colouring is rich and vivid, but sombre, and more
like Egyptian than Byzantine work. The Aiigel of Death, with sable wings out-
stretched, hovers above all the figures grouped around die bier on which the
Virgin lies ; and the Saviour Himself appears in the midst, looking on his mother's
dead body while he bears in his arms her soul, represented as a little dark-faced baby,
swathed like a mummy in white wrappings.

as an old man, delivering the book of these Gonstitations to a kneeling
boy in a white monastic robe. It has been said to be from the hand
of Fra Angelico, and the style of design and the colouring seem to
lend a certain probability to the assertion. Whoever the painter was,
he must have been of no mean rank, considering that the Pope and
the Archbishop were interested in the production of this volume.
The papal bull is of course a copy, but the approbation by the
Archbishop is " propria manu " ; as also are later sanctions of various
dates, ranging from 1478 to 1740.
The first illuminated page of the book is a splendid one. On a
gold ground, the symbolical design of the Trinity is painted, that is,
the Almighty throned in air in the midst of a crowd of seraphs and
cherubs, supporting in front of him the crucified Saviour on whose
head rests the Holy Ghost in the form of a dove. St. John, as a
young man, looks upwards from the centre of the initial letter beneath ;
and the page is broadly bordered with floral arabesques in which
numerous smaller figures of angels and saints are deftly framed.

Written probably in Bruton Abbey ^ Devonshire ;

With about 500 emblazoned escutcheons painted on the lower
margins thronghout the book, which give to the MS. the character of
ONE OF THE EARLIEST EnQLISH ARMORIALS IN EXISTENCE. Among them is
the bearing of Bruton Abbey, in which it is to be conjectured that the
MS. was written. The proof that the book was in the possession of
Edward Courtenay, Earl of Devonshire (who died in 1418), or of some
one intimately connected with him, is to be derived from a list, in
French, of Advowsons in Somersetshire, " q sonnt en lez mains Mou
Sr le C de D ", written on the second last leaf in a hand of about the
year 1400.
The book is in large missal characters, purely Gothic, twelve lines
to the page, and every page has its border, chiefly of thirteenth-century
style, but with sparse ornaments of single leaves and flowers. The
bottom line of the border has some sprays of this rough decoration
thrown out into the space below, and between them the armorial
bearings are painted. The Calendar is in a smaller hand, but orna-
mented more profusely. The heavy framelines of the borders are
painted in dark colours, and look like imitations of enamelled metal-
plaques. The first leaf of the text is wanting. The last four leaves
of the book contain a story in NormanpFrench from the Legendary, in

" Ab origine mnndi vi mlcxxxvi.*'
The Calendar and the Litany are of Sarnm character, except for
the inclusion in the latter of St. Mildred's name. The obit of Sir
John Clifford is recorded in the Calendar on the 19 May, in a hand-

Sold for £94 at the Hamilton sale in 1889.
Isabean d'Ecosse, daughter of James I of Scotland, married
Fran9ois I, Duke of Brittany^ in 1441, and died in 1494. The arms of
Scotland and Brittany impaled are painted in yarions places throughout
the book, altogether twenty -five times; and the portrait of the Duchess
is given in the first miniature, her robe painted with the united
escutcheons. — Of considerable interest are the seven pages of Latin
prayers in her own handwriting, which occupy the blank leaves after
the Office for the Dead, in which she begs the Saviour that "me
specialiter matri tusB filiam esse facias. Amen". On the last page
of the book there is another note which runs thus : ** Priez a Dieu pour
Tame de la duchesse Ysabeau fille aisnee da Roy d'Escosse." It was
also probably written by her own hand long before her death.
The Millons were a great Breton family in the Duchess's time,
and Bene Millon, whose name is stamped in gold on the sides, was no
doubt a descendant of the Bertram Millon whose name is prominent in
the records of Brittany about 1480-90.

figure brandishing a dart in his right hand, and carrying a coffin under his left arm, in
the middle of a churchyard, is remarkably yigorous and striking.

The miniatures are pretty and well painted, with landscape backgrounds.
The borders are of the same composite nature as seen in other MSS. of the time, but
they are light and elegant, not overloaded with daborate profusion. The last fire
pages of the book are in French (the prayers to the Doulce Dame and the Beau Sire),
and the Calendar is also French ; without any provincial peculiarities, although the
book was written probably somewhere north or north-east of Paris, perhaps at Reims.
SS. Denis, Nicaise, and Aostreberta are invoked in the Litany, which does not contain
the supplication for the Pope.

The work (unknown to the writers npon Horses) is dedicated to the Cardinal-
Deacon of St Adrian, — 4 title of honour bestowed by the Pope upon Pierre d'Anbasson,
the Grand Master of the Knights of St. John, in conseqnenoe of his gallant defence
of Bhodes.
The escutcheon in the border is ba/rry of sin, aryent and assurty <m a chief gules on

21 MINIATURES (three) within large illmninated initials (cut from a

knees at his feet ; A kneeling nun in black raiment introduced in each

22 MINIATURES. A Diptych of three Miniatitees on two leaves of vellum
from a Book of Hours, written for Louis d'Orleans (afterwards
Louis XII of France) or his first wife Jeanne de France, daughter of
Louis XI ; framed under glass, two boards covered with velvet, which are
hinged in the centre, and open like a quarto booh About 1480 25 0 0
The picture on the left represents bt Loois enthroned, his mother "Kojrne
Blanche " standing on the left hand ; *' La Justice du Boy," a female personage inth
a sword, standing on the left ; and below them two fignres, a gentleman and a peasant,
holding up petitions which are abont to be received by an officer. The upper picture
on the right contains four figures of Nymphs, *' Nayade, Amadriade, Oreade, Nappee,"
standing on a green field, a half-figure of " Foy " rising from a flower, and an angelic
form overhead, surrounded by golden rays. The lower picture represents Christ as a
baby in the sky, reversing a chalice, from which flow streams of milk or nectar into
golden cups held up from below by several figures, Pope and Emperor, Cardinal and
King, Bishop and Prince, etc. These two pictures are evidently intended to symbolise
the &ith of heathendom and the faith of Christendom. On the upper one there is an
escutcheon France-Medici, which must have been painted there at a later time, that is
after the marriage of Henri II with Catherina dei MedicL

The name of St. Walpnrgis in the Litany leads to a conjectare
tliat the book was -written at Utrecht, but the note at the end of the
Psalter of St. Angnstine mentions two Bishops of Hildesheim as
granting and confirming an indulgence, which suggests an inference
that the volume originated in Gueldres or somewhere on the borders
of Westphalia. Whichever be the case, it is an exquisite example of
Dutch art in the Flemish style.

The centre-pieces of the binding, framed as medallions, are two
silver nielli-plates, the one on the obverse engraved with a portrait of
Cardinal Bembo, that on the reverse having a figare of Pegasus
(Bembo's symbol). We may conclnde that the book came into
Bembo's hands when he was forming his library in Padna in 1521-25.
It is evident from the portrait that this medallion was executed before
he was made Cardinal in 1538, and we know that Benvenuto Cellini
performed snch a piece of work for. Bembo about 1535. There can be
little doubt that the two nielli are from that erratic artistes hand.

This MS. was probably written somewhere in the Rhenish provinces, to the west
of the Rhine. It was in German hands at the beginning of the fifteenth centary, and
two lines of verse (most of them illegible) are written inside the cover.

sides About lUO 72 0 0
The original scribe's work ended with the usual Litany and
Prayers that succeed the Psalter.
The forty leaves that follow (as well as a few leaves at the
beginning of the book) were written on at various times between 1440
and 1480. They contain the various Missal and commemoration
offices above referred to, including the Mass of St. Winefred, and the
office of St. Hugh of Lincoln ; an extensive Litany ; the Joys of the
Virgin in English (four full pages) ; Legend of St. Winefred in Latin
verse.
The arms which are painted on the first leaf are those of the
Norfolk Whetenhalls, not of the Chester or Kent families of that
name. On two leaves at the end, the same hand as painted the arms,
has given a large and fine picture of St. G-eorge slaying the dragon
on one page, and the lady waiting for release on the opposite page.
This coloured drawing, as well as a plain design of the Almighty
supporting the Crucified Saviour, and another of St. Christopher
(which last two are to be found near the beginning of the book), are
^vourable examples of English art in the time of Edward IV, and
must have been the work of a skilful limner.
The MS. belonged formerly to Martin, the historian of Thetford,
and Blomefield, the historian of Norfolk ; and has the autographs
of both.

A superb Miniature of large size executed within a
gigantic initial G (12^ by 12 inches), attributed to the
famous Don Silvestho of Santa Maria degli Angeli at
Florence, and undoubtedly of Florentine origin towards
the close of the fourteenth century ; framed About 1380-90 40 0 0
There are over forty figures or heads in this magDificent work of
art. The drawing is good and the colouring is splendid; and the
whole effect is wonderfully fine. The leaf was probably one of those
which were cut out of the celebrated Chorale of the Church of Santa
Maria degli Angeli, and some of which went into Ottley*s possession.
It is a piece of illumination and painting that well deserves the
eulogies which Yasari and others have passed upon the miniatures of
Don Silvestro.

Boniface.

his time, as well as in ours, codices of the work were very rare, since
he was obliged to correct as well as he could a faulty one. The design
of the horse is very beautiful; no draughtsman of to-day could
pretend to more correctness. The vellum, the writing, and the
illumination are all of the highest degree of excellence, truly royal in
their splendour. There is a grand escutcheon emblazoned on the first
page of the table, but it is probably fifty years later than the work of
Ippolito da Luna.

The most interesting of the Shakspearian Anthologies. There are, according to
Collier's oompntation, serentj-nine extracts from Shakespeare, of which fiftf-fire
represent his poems and twenty-foar his plays. Considering the year of the book's
impression, this fact indicates he was one of the most popular writers of his time ; not
80 popular indeed as Spenser, Drayton, and Daniel, and one or two others of less note.
There are altogether nearly two thousand extracts, and the names of the authors are
appended in nearly every instance. These signatures render the Parnassus an important
document for English poetical history, and make its value permanent. The editorship
is assigned to Allot on account of the initials R. A. which stand at foot of the metrical
dedication.

Non al principio mio ti chiamo, o Fhebo.

abore, and dragon below, holding in her right hand a branch.

466 Birds, Beasts, and Fishes of the Norfolk Broadland, by P. H.
EMERSON March, 1806 0 8 6
This handsome Tolome contains xii + 396 pages medium 8vo., and is printed on
the best white paper, and bound in handsome linen cover with specially drawn design.
The volume is illustrated by simty-^ht reproductions of photographs of birds and
their nests, beasts, etc., eighteen being full-page illustrations, size 6 by 4 inches. These
illustrations are unique, many of them being photographs from nature of eggs and
nests, etc., never before photographed, and indude : —
Reed-Pheasants and nest and eggs, Beeve^s nett and eggs, Great Crested Grebe's
nest and eggs, Brown-headed Gull's nest and eggs, Grasshopper Warbler's nest and
^gs, Young Montagu Harriers, Marsh Owl, Young Grasshopper Warbler, Beed-
Warbler's nest and eggs. Young Merlins, Pallas' Sand-Grouse, Binged Plover's nest
and eggs.
The text is formed of a series of artistic biographies of the birds in their haunts
as studied in Norfolk for the past seven or eight years by the author, whose work is
already well known to many.
The omithologut will find much new matter concerning the birds peculiar to the
Broadland, matter given with the author's usual accuracy and lucidity.
Altogether, no student of natural history, no lover of Nature, or native of the
district, should hesitate in adding this volume to his library.

The abore work daring its coorse of publication gained the highest praise in ereiy
quarter, from its combininfr three things of the highest importance bnt seldom found

which being on so mnch larger a scale, from containing nearly life-sise portraits of the
birds themselves, are beyond the reach of most students of British Ornithology, even
with the aid of a great public library.

Chinese-English Dictionary, by heebebt a. gilfs,
impl. 4to. alvi and 141G pp. in treble eolt. cloth, £6. i(k 6J Skan^Aai^ 180J
This great Monumental work supersedes all its predecessord, and is indis-
pensable for great Public Libraries.
" The last decade of the nineteenth century will probably be known hereafter
as the age of lexicography. A part from the monumental New English DictionHry,
upon which Dr. Murray and Mr. Bradley are labouring with a precision of derail
never before attempted, the Clarendon Press has at present in hand no less thati
four other great lexicographical works: Dean Payne Smith's Thesaurus Syriacus
and Prof. ToUei^'s revision of Bosworth's Anglo-Saxon Dictionary — both now
nearly completed ; the Hebrew Lexicon of the Old Testament, by American and
English scholar?, and the Concordance to the Septuagint, planned by the late
Edwin Hatch — both still in an early staue. For modern Oriental langua*;efi, it
is sufficient to mention Prof. Salmone's Arabic, and Dr. Steingass's Per>iau
Dictionary, each of which received pecuniary help from the Secretary i>f State
for India. And now wo are promised a new Chinese- English Dictionary, by
Mr. Herbert A. Giles, H.B.M. consul at Ning-po, whose name already standi on
the title-page of some seventeen sinological book?.
The work was projected by the author as far back as 1874, and he has b en
carrying it on at intervals ever since. The entire plan, and by far the greater
part of the execution, are his own. But, of course, he has not di:idained t«>
utilize the previous labours of others, or to accept help from his colleaorued in
the consular service, and from native scholars. Two years were devoted to the
arrangement and transcription of the material ; and the printing at Shanghai, by
Messrs. Kelly and Walsh, has taken about twelve months. It will be published
very shortly, in a quarto volume of fifteen hundred pages, by Mr. Bernard
Quaritch.
Without the use of special types, it is not easy to give an account of the
work, as sketched out in the Preface. The total number of characters given,
each under a separate heading, is 13,848, every one numbered for the purpose of
easy reference oy means of the Kadical Index. It appears that tne famous
lexicon which passes under the name of K'ang Hsi contains more than forty
thousand characters, but we are assured that a Chinese newspaper can be
printed with a fount of six thousand. Each character is marked with auother
number denoting its ''tone'* in Pekinese, followed bv its romanisation in no le^s
than nine dialect?, and also in the languages of Korea, Japan, and Annam.
Opposite the character are given its various meanings, without any attempt to
trace the original etymology or the subsequent derivations. Then come illus-
trative entries, arranged in the same order as the meanings, which have
purposely been collected both from books and from conversation ; for Mr. Giles
maintains that there is no real distinction between classical and colloquial
Chinese.
Some phrases are purposely given in wrongly written forms, because audi
forms happen to be in common use. A large number of entries have been
introduced to iUustrate the best and highest planes of Chinese thought. Others,
as affording glimpses into political, commercial, and social life. Proverbs,
household words, and even nursery rhymes, occur among the hundred thousand
examples which go to make up this book. Even a general reader might find it
not without interest to glance through the entries under the characters for tcinry
doctor, crime or punishment, drunk, to gamble, &c."
All the entries are translated into English, upon the accuracy of which
Mr. Giles admits that the value of the entire work depends. After an
interesting discussion upon the absence of grammar in Chinese — or at lea^t
upon the uselessness of any grammatical rules that have been laid down by
iEairopean scholars — ^the Preface ends with a dedication to ''the honour aud
advancement of the British consular service.*' — Academy, November 19th, 1892.

possible, to the present day, from authorities such as Wills, Inquisitions post

family migrated into Cornwall &om another county the Visitation pedigree of the
family in that county is added. The Arms and Crest of every family are given.

The Book of Wisdom and Lies ; a Georgian story-
book of the Eighteenth Century. By Sulkhan Saba Orbeliani. Translaled
with Notes by Oliyer Wardrop. 1 toI. 8vo. vellum, £2. 2*
Kelmscott Frets, 1895
"Id this hRDdsome volame, which appears in thebeautifal type of the Kelmsooti Pms.
Hr. Oliver Wardrop gives us a traDslation of an old Georgian book of stories. With
' the exception of a few extracts in French, this is the first version of this cnrions book
which has been published in any language of the West. And yet it is a producticsi well
worthy of the attention of the folk-lorist.
<* The plan of the work resembles that of the ' Hitopadesa' ; it is a collection of fables
and tales set in a slender framework. . . .
** Mr. Wardrop has added some useful and scholarly notes.
" Among the best in the collection is that of the * One-eyed king, the fox, and Sultan
Selim.' Manj of the fables are identical with those in the collection which goes under
Uie name of .^sop.
'* Together with the tales we have a good collection of apothegmatic sayings and a
quantity of Oriental triads. It is in these aphorisms that the shrewdness of the Oriental
mind appears.
** Mr. Wardrop has thronghont performed his task in an accurate and scholarly way.
For purposes of comparison we have used a small edition of the original publi^ied at
Tiflis in 1881, aud have been everywhere struck with his fidelity. . . .
"In conclusion, we can only hope that this book will meet with the attention it
deserves. Unfortunately, in this Idttton de luss it can appeal to only a limited circle of
readers. We will end our article by citing the lines of a Georgian on Orbeliani, which are
given by Prof. Tsagarelli—to whom all Georgian students owe so much — at the end of bis
work on this celebrated collection of stories :
" Saba- Sulkhan Orhelisdse (t.e. son of Orbeli),
Soared by his wisdom above the eagles.*'

The edition is limited to 300 copies, 100 of them being reserved for sale in Italy.
Extract from the Efsa/y by Signor Biagi :
The accompanying illnstrations . . . which are here reprodaced for the first time, appear to
us to be of great importance in the history of Dantesqne iconography. . . . They are remarkable
as an illustratiYe commentary on the Foem ; and also for the evident effort to portray the fnll
intention, and the different aspects of a scene, grouping the episodes aronnd the principal subject
in snch a way as to throw fiill elucidation on it. . . . The designs are executed acooraine to the
technique of chiaroscuro. In the beginning are some pages of summary, and descriptive sketches
of the site, shape, and measurements of Hell. . . . We do not pretend to ofier it [the collection]
to the public as an artistic masterpiece, but only as one of the most perfect series of illustrations
of the Divine Comedy attempted at the time wheu it was the object of devoted study by savants
and artists. Indeed it seems manifest that these pages combine the work of the aotist and the
student, both intent on a task very difficult to fulfil.
2fr. John Aldington Symonds, in his Prefatory Notes, thus writes of Stradanus :
It seems that he started painting at Bruges, Antwerp, and Lyons, before he came to Italy.
The fact that Gosimo d6 Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, had established a tapestiy manufactory
under two Flemings, Johannes and Marcas Van der Roost, probably drew him to Florence.
Here he was employed to make designs for arras-work, and the number he turned out is said to
have been beyond the scope of calculation. He was, indeed, extraordinarily prolific. . . . Two
of the decadent Florentine painters, Georgio Vasili and Franoesoo Salvlati, esteemed him highly
for his powers of invention, and still more for his &cility. Like his fellow-countryman, Marten
de Yos, Stradanus executed a vast amount of hack-work for the chief engraving companies of
Antwerp. These commercial speculators issued sets of Illustrative prints, and spread them
broadcast over the whole world. The Jesuits made great use of these pictures in educating the
Heathen of the East and the New World.

''SEEN IN THREE DAYS"
is the title of a work which is intended to be the first of a short series
to be produced by the same hand under the title of the '* Sung and Seen"
series. As the name indicates, the subject is brought forward by means of a
double form of expression. The series does not contain illustrated poems
or drawings with descriptive letterpress, but a mingling of the poetry that
speaks to the eye with tnat which addresses the ear just as the word-ideas
and form-ideas presented themselves in the first iustance to the arti^t-
author. Each is nand-tinted in brown, by the author. The edition is limited
to 150 copies. Each copy is numbered. No reissue of the identical plates
is possible. The outlines are printed from stones which are cleared as the
work progresses. The pages are facc«imiled from the original MS. There
is no other copy, no previous sketch in existence.
'' Seen in Three Days '^ contains sixty pages, on each of which is a
design, and some writing. The whole is a narrative of vision, and at the
same time of that poetic form of experience which is not altogether vision
and has its natural outlet through literary expression.

'* The very peculiar appearance of the majority of the hirds contained in this volume,
as well as the extraordinary hahits and structure common to all, which make them to difi^r
from other leathered creatures^ together with the generally meagre accounts of many of the

that induced me to select this family as the subject of my fifth illustrated monograph.

Elton's Origins of English History; bjCHAHCEs
I. ELTON, F.8. A., sometime Fellow of Queen's College, Oxford; one of Her
Majesty's Counsel; author of "The Tenures of Kent;" "The Law of
Commons and Waste Lands;" "The Law of Copyholds and Customary
Tenures of Land;" "Norway, the Soad and the Fell,*' etc. second edition

Pbxvagb to thb Second Edition:
In prepariDg a second edition of the '* Origins of English History" the author has
endeaToared to t«ike advantage of the obseryatioDs and friendly advice to which the appearance
of the former edition gave rise. Since the work was first published many fresh discoveries hnve
been made in the provinces of philology and archsBological science. Mndi fresh light has been
thrown on the problems of Celtic history by the continuous labours of Professor Khys at home
and of M. Gaidoz, M. D'Arbois de Jubainville and many other eminent scholars abroad, while
some of the best-known landmarks of archieology have been altered by the results of the recetii
explorations made by General Pitt-Rivers at Rnshmore. The earlier chapters of the woik,
dealing with the important discoveries of Pythe^as, the Greek romances of travel, and the ancient
languages and institutions of the Celtic peoples, have been carefully revised, without much
alteration in their main argument or the arrangement of the principal facts. Some doubtful
points have been omitted as well as some few appeals to authority which seemed to be no longer
required. The descriptive catalogue of classic authors cited in the work has been entirely
re-arranged, and references are now given to the pages on which they are cited in the text An
Index Locorum has been added, and care has been taken to distinguish those places which have
anything to do with customary modes of inheritance from those which are more incidentally mm-
tioned in the purely historical chapters. The General Index has been reconstmcted and greatly
enlarged, and a Table of Contents has been added.
Whitestaunton, Somebsbt,
December 2nd, 1889.
A work of national importance, Ferring as a necessary introduction to all histories cf
England. In it are gathered and summed up the results of recent archsological, anthropok)g}cal,
and philological investigations ; and we may fairly assert that Mr. Elton has produced a chapter
in the history of Civilisation which had never previously been written with such a knowledge of
the subject as he possesses. Ko good English library, and no student of early British antiquities
can afibrd to do without Elton's Origins.
The work begins with the records of early Greek voyages in the North, about 350 B.C., and
oomes down to the time when English States were being formed or moulded in the terrible
struggles of the sixth and seventh centuries of our era. It is thus of high anthropological interest
to all who are concerned in the genesis and the composition of the English nation.
The first edition, printed in 1888, went quickly out of print ; and thia improved edition has,
been issue! to supply the demand which has gone on increasing during the past year or two.

ENGLISH EDITION. 1889-95.
It has been remarked over and over again, that the great achievements of
Sculpture, Painting, and Architecture, are easily accessible for study by
those who devote any attention to the Fine Arts ; while the best productions
of the men who laboured with the burin, the etching-needle, or the wood-
engraver's knife, are little known, except to the few wealthy amateurs
who can buy the rare examples of such work, or the specialists who frequent
the print-rooms of the Art Museums. The artistic interest of engravings is,
nevertheless, not inferior to that of the pictures, statues, and buildings wrought
by famous hands, and readily visible to almost all the world. They offer the
same aesthetic gratifications, they exhibit the same developments of genius and
skilly and they furnish the same course of education in taste, as the grand
monuments of the sister-arts. But their rarity and comparative inaccessibility
forbid most students to hope for even an occasional transitory glance at many
of the engraved designs made famous by the descriptions of Bartsch, Passavant,
Ottley, and others.
The object of the present publication, undertaken by the authorities of
the Berlin Museum and executed at the Royal Press, is to supply the
deficiency which has so long been felt, by printing a series of reproductions
of the most excellent works of engraving by old masters ; from the time of
Andrea Mantegna to that of Earlom and Chodowie9ki. Absolute fidelity,
both in line and effect, has been achieved by the perfected methods of modern
science : for copper-engravings the heliographic process, and for woodcuts that
of zincography have been found completely adequate to produce such copies
as were only distinguished by their newness from the best impressions of the
original blocks and plates. The artistic success has been, indeed, so great
that every sheet will be marked with the word facsimile, so as to obviate any
possibilities of fraudulent manipulation.
The work will be issued in portfolios or volumes, each consisting of fifty
plates, and each treated as a separate and independent book. Subscribers to
the first, or to any other part, will not thereby be bound to take the rest ;
although it will be found desirable to acquire the entire series of pirts in order
to possess the advantages of a full representative collection of specimens. This
is recognisable from the contents of the first portfolio, which, as will be seen,
must be regarded as a miscellaneous contribution to the total scheme; and
each succeeding part will form a supplementary group of similar multifarious-
ness. Only when the entire project has been carried out, will it be possible
to arrange the collection in its proper chronological sequence. The short
biographical details which are given in the lists of contents, accompanying
the fiiUer form of the inscriptions found on the plates, will be found useful for
the purpose of such an arrangement.

Ole twenty illustrations to the DIVINA COMEDIA of DANTE, which
have also been assigned to the same artists, and were published by Landino
at Florence in 1481.

Aa an indication of the extreme care which is being taken in selecting the best prints for
these reproductions, it may be stated that the Dante Series comprises examples chosen from
seven different copies of the work.
To show the high valne set npon these early works of art, the Royal Library of Berlin
paid £1200 for a proof set of the plates to Dante, and the Trustees of the British Mnsenm have

Only 300 copies are printed.
Falconry, like other field Sports, has its literatnre. It wonld be strange if it were not so ;
for, on tnming over the pages of the world's history, it is apparent that for centuries it has
played a conspicuous part amongst the diversions of people of all nations.
Bat the literature of the subject has been much neglected. The older treatises in all
lasgoages have become scarce and costly, and of the rest the booksellers are unable to supply, or
eren to name, a tithe of them.
This, perhaps, is partly due to the circoxnstances that no Bibliography of Falconry having
any claim to completeness exists.

" As some delighte moste to beholde
Ech newe devyse and guyse,
So some in workes of fathers olde
Their studies exercise."

Chyrurgeon^ a,d. 1565.
I volume 1 2mo. 340 pp. with 2g cuts of Monsters,
and a complete Index, cloth, gilt top.
The superstitions relating to the Animal World have
been so marvellous, and Travellers' tales have so greatly
assisted, that it was a happy idea of the author to group
them here systematically, and to give invariably his authori-
ties. There is only one fabulous animal absent in this
Encyclopaedia, and that is the Sea Serpent.
Most of the stories about these fabulous Animals are
very amusing.
The folklorist will have a treasure in adding this volume
to his Library.

as ordinary type ; the mention of tbe chief type used in each book ; the furnishing of
the first words of certain pages, to facilitate the identification of imperfect copies ;
and the insertion of actual pages of books printed at Oxford, selected from works
which are cheap and common.

273 The TEXT of the PAPYRUS of ANI, the Book of the Dead : The
Egyptian Text, with interlinear transliteration and translation, a
running translation, introduction, etc. by E. A. Wallis Bldge,
LiTT.D., stoat 4to. half hound Trustees of the British Miiseum, 1895 1 10 0
The Papyrus of Ani, which was acquired by the Trustees of the British Musenm
in the year 1888, is the largest, the most perfect, the best preseryed, and the liest
illuminated of all the papyri which date from the second half of the XVIUth
dynasty (about B.C. 1500 to 1400). Its rare vignettes, and hymns, and chapters, and
its descriptive and introductory rubrics render it of unique importance for the study of
the Book of the Dead, and it takes a high place among the authoritative texts of the
Theban version of that remarkable work. Although it contains leas than one-half of
the chapters which are commonly assigned to that version, we may conclude that Ani*H
exalted official position as Chancellor of the ecclesiastical revenues and endowments of
AbydoB and Thebes would have insured a selection of such chapters as would suffice
for his spiritual welfare in the future life. We may therefore regard the Papyrus
of Ani as typical of the funeral book in vogue among the Theban nobles of Jiis
time.
The first edition of the facsimile of the papyrus was issued in 1890, and was
accompanied by a valuable introduction by Mr. Ije Page Uenouf, then Keeper of the
Department of Egyptian and Assyriain Antiquities. But, iu order to satisfy a widely
expressed demand for a translation of the text, the present volume has been prepared
to be issued with the second edition of the facsimile. It contains the hieroglyphic
text of the papyrus with interlinear transliteration and word for word translation, a
full description of the vignettes, and a running translation ; and in the introduction
an attempt has been made to illustrate from native Egyptian sources the religious
views of the wonderful people who more than five thousand years ago proclaimed the
resurrection of a spiritual body and the immortality of the soul.

As a mle an iditiwrk de lume suggests something for show rather than for use ; this
edition is aa exception, and is as useful as it is beautiful. When it was first announced
we were inclined to think — ^having tlie nine-Toluroe edition before us — that it would be
merely superfluous ; that a few amatenrs of costly books might like to place it on their
shelves and allow it to remain there undisturbed, while students would be fully satisfied
with, and, indeed, for use might prefer the ordinary edition. Having now examined
the first four volumes of this fine issue, we believe that in a Jibrary contaioing both
editions it will be the edition ds luas that will be most in une. A separate volume for
each play, and that volume, though much taller and broader, yet light enough to be
uned as a '' handy ** volume, must inevitably obtain the preference. We congratulate
all concerned in this publication on what must be an assured success, and can only
regret that the issue being limited, must soon become inaccessible to the public
generally." — The Aiht/nawn, December 2nd, 1893.

John Ramsay. Of him Mr. Qiuiritch gires

The first of the two volumes composing the work will probably appear early
in the summer. The Athefiaum says : —
"The Hon. Alicia M. T. Amherst and Mr. Percy E. Newberry have in preparation a work
on the history of English gardening. The first part of the book, that dealing with the' period
extending from the Roman conquest to the end of the 16th century, will be a republication in
chapter form, and with considerable additions, of a series of articles by Mr. Newberry which
appeared in the Qardeners' ChnmieU in 1888, 1889, and 1890.**— lYmss, November lath, 1892.

Gilbert (William) of Colehester, Fhyneian of London, on the
LOADSTONE and MAGNETIC BODIES, and on the great magnet of the
Earth. A new physiology demonstrated with many arguments and
experiments. A translation by P. FLEunr Mottela.t, 8vo. portrait,
figures, and numerous facsimilegj cloth, 17« 6d New York and London, 1893
The translation De Magnete has been a task of no ordinary difficnlty ; it has brought up
problems innumerable, the solution of which has inyolved much laborious research — as the result
was meant to be a clear and competent presentation of the author in idiomatic English, and not
m erely a substitution of English words for Latin. Nor would I have ventured to appear as the
English interpreter of the great Gilbert, " father of the Magnetic philosophy," but for the hearty
encouragement and very material aid, in translating and otherwise, extended by many literary
and scientific friends, amongst whom must be especially mentioned Mr. Joseph Fitzgerald, Mr.
£. McMillan, Mr. Josepy Wetzler, Dr. Joseph V. Livingstone, Hon. Park Benjamin, and Prof.
Alfred H. Mayer. I am likewise indebted to Prof. Chas. Sanders Pierce, to Mr. Latimer
Clark, F.R.8., to Dr. Isaac H. Hall, and to Dr. Charlton T. Lewis for valuable suggestions as to
the general treatment of the work ; and, in the word of the celebrated mathematician, Edward
Wright, I doubt not that our united efforts *' will find the heartiest approval among all
intellectual men and children of the magnetic science.*'
"The year 1600," observes the English historian Henry Hallam, "was the first in which
England prodaced a remarkable work in Physical Science ; but this was one sufiicient to raise a
lasting reputation for its author. Gilbert, a physician, in his treatise on the Magnet, not only
collected all the knowledge which others possessed on the subject, but became at once the
father of experimental philosophy in this island ; and, by a singular felicity and acnteness of
genius, the founder of theories, which have been revived after a lapse of ages, and are almost
received into the creed of Science. . . . Gilbert was one of the earliest Copemicans — at least as
to the rotation of the earth— and, with his usual sagacity, inferred, before the invention of the
telescope, that there are a multitude of fixed stars beyond the reach of our vision."
WhUe Dr. Whewell observes that " Gilbert's work contains all the fundamestal f.ncts of the
science, so fully examined, indeed, that even at this day we have Tery little to add to them,'* Dr.
Thomas Thomson says that De Magnete *' is one of the finest examples of inductive philosophy
that has ever been presented to the world." Poggendorff, from whose " Geschichte der
Pbysik " (page 286) this is extracted, calls Gilbert " the Galileo of Magnetism." By Dr. Priestley
he was named " the father of modern electricity.''
In an article written not long since, Mr. Conrad W. Cooke, of I^ondon, notes the high
opinion of Gilbert's work entertained — more particularly by Nathaniel Carpenter, William
Barlowe, Francis Bacon, Galileo, and Humboldt, and he adds : " There is abundant testimony
extant that this De Magnete of Gilbert's produced a profound sensaUon, not only in this
country but throughout the then civilized world ; and it is a singularly curious fact that the
brilliancy of a reputation so great and so original should hare been allowed in subsequent
generations to have been lost sight of." — Preface.

GiLLRAT STANDS AT THE HEAD OF ALL CARICATURISTS. —The Quarterly Revieuf thus
speaks of him : "Gillray was marked out, as it were, predestiaed for his career by an
extraordinary assemblage of qoalities : wit^ humowt famcy^ imagination, boldness of conception
and execuition, inewhatutible fertility and variety, intuitive knowledge of mankind, avd wierring
quickness of perception, which enabled him to catch the passing follies and fleeting fashions of
the gay world, as well as the intrignes, corruption, and maladministration of the great. He was
a PAiKTBR OF MANNERS ss Well as a POLITICAL CARICATURIST, and during the long period
eorered by hi» sketches there is hardly a marked step in social progress, hardly a change of
coetnme or national caprice of any kind, that is not fixed and recorded for the amnaement of
contemporaries and the edification of posterity.''

This znagnificeDt work is no less valuable to the Architect than to the
Painter. It does not profess (says the Quarterly Review in an elaborate
article) to exhibit fresh decorative paintiog in that highest walk chosen by
Michael Angelo and Baffaelle (except as a handmaid), but as a purely decora-
tive. Art and subservient to Architecture. Owing its very existence to the
exigencies of the sovereii;^n art, and deriving its appropriate locality, scale and
effect from the edifice, it no less assists the Architecture^ in return, by its
arabesques and other tasteful accessories.

" Instead of seeking rare lacunoB amid a
mass of novel information oar fairer func-
tion as critics is to express admiration of
the wide research and accurate scholarship
displayed by Mr. Gabbins. It is a genuine
pleasure to any earnest student to have
such a \?ork laid before him, and that its
pnblication will immensely facilitate the
study of Japanese there cannot be a
moments doubt. Everyone reading the
literature of the day in Japan Is con-
fronted by the difficult ta^k of finding
exact English equivalents for many new
words although their meaning mav be
snfficiently intelligible. With Mr. Gubbins
Dictionary beside one this trouble is vir-

*'Mr. Halt6*8 'Plant Studies,' the first instalment of which has just been published by
Mr. Quaritch, have a good object. He has evidently been shocked, as who has not ? by the
incorrect and even reckless delineations of plants and flowers which are seen in so many arc
productions of the present day. Perhaps the most terrible sinners in this respect are the
concocters of Christmas cards. Not merely for these, however, but for all the designers and
workers in wood, metal, stone, potter}*, and glass, Mr. Hair6 provides a sketch-book such as each
artist might wish he had made for himself, in which are exhibited, life-size, the foliage, flower,
and frnit of the fifty plants which he considers best adapted to decorative purposes. The garden
pea, nasturtium, apple, Canterbury bell, and sunflower have each a plate in the present number,
and the drawing is so good that it is to be hoped it may find its way into the hands of many
professionals as well as amateurs." — Pall Mall Qazette, December 27th, 1883.

Hapgood's Epic Songs of Eussia, syo.w^.s*
IT. York, 1886
"Even Russia is a great country, and it is with gennine pleasure that we have perused
Miss Isabel Hapgood's book. * The £pic Songs of Russia ' (Bernard Quaritch) is, as Professor
Child says, a spirited and sympathetic version of the more important of the great Russian
popular heroic songs, and it is, we believe, correctly affirmed that nothing of the same kind and
compass has been published in any language of Western Europe. Criticism is not necessary
and, in fact, we cannot pretend to criticize, but it may be remarked that these poems will help
to dissipate the illnsion^if it exists— that the Rnssian people are entirely without imagination.
Whether the success of the volume will be sufficient to repay Mias Hapgood for her trouble and
research is, perhaps, doubtful, though her work is published simultaneously in London and New
York. Bnt let no one suppose that it is dull ; some of the songs are as humorous as they are
qtiaint; and all will help more or lest to assist the student of Russian character." — jindon

An Idyl, a Pictorial-Music- Play, the music composed and the play illustrated by Hubert
Herkomer, b.a., the lyrics by Joseph Bennett (London and New York, Novello, Ewer, and Co.).
is a yery sumptuous volume and a very remarkable proof of the versatility and artistic skill of
the accomplished artist who is its illustrator, composer, and principal author. As the play was
acted in June, 1889, at the Herkomer Theatre, at Bushey, and commented on by us at the time,
we need not revert to it now. The principal interest of the present volume consists in 16 beauti-
ful and characteristic etchings, with which the author has enriched U, They an fuU of grace
and vigour.— r/w Times, March 6th, 1891.

This inTaluable volume will assist the student and collector in using the several volumes of

book, tract, or broadside is to be found. It is a labour which Mr. Gray has undertaken
eon amore, and reflects the highest honour on his industry, discernment, and Htcrtiry zeal.
*' A mere cursory glance through these volumes will afford a slight idea uf their comprehen-
sive and exhaustive character. In the second series, for example, tlierc are fifty-four closely-
printed columns relating to Charles I., and ten and a half columns to ' Loudon/ from 1541 to
1794.
'* Scotland, again, has over twenty-one columns, whilst much space is devoted to James T,
Ireland, England, Elizabeth, and France. Third and final series appeared in 1886, and this is
now follow^ by * Supplements to the Third and Final Series."' — Hazliit, llie Boohcorm,
November, 1889.
" I have exhausted nearly all our public and private libraries, and all the yield of the auction-
rooms and the booksellers' catalogues within the interval of 25 years.
'* It may therefore be truly predicated of the Collections and NotcF, 1876-89. that they otfer
to all those interested in such inquiries an enormous accumulation of steady und patient gather
ings, and for'purposes of reference afford a repertory quite unsurpassed in our own, and I bclic\c-,
in any other literature.
** During the past thirty years I have acted on the conviction that a * Bibliography of Early
English Literature ' should contain, in the first place, a full and exact transcript of the title,
imprint, and colophon, if any, the collation by signatures, a note indicating any special feature
abont the volume described, and, where the work was of unusual rarity or importance, a clue to
its whereabouts, and a statement of the prices realized by the copy or copies of it, if such have
been submitted to public auction, or passed from one hand to another by private treaty." —

IN blarft Ifffrr, UNIQUE, lt;i7/niAaNIFICBNT BOBDEES and yiONETTES,
exquisitely illuminated in gold and colours, by William Penny of
Jfid-OaZder, A BEAUTIFUL specimen of the aetist's skill, green morocco
super extra, £90. Edinb. 1823
This allegorical Scottish poem was written about 1453, and preserves many peculiarities of
ancient English metrical composition which were already obsolete. It is largely devoted to the
expression of eulogies on the house of Douglas — " the lineage of the Bleeding Heart ;" and has
therefore been supposed to embody a satire on the King, James II, who had slain £arl Willism,
and with whom the Douglases were at feud.
The name of the artist, William Penny, is almost unknown, but by the few who
have seen his performances be is recognized as an extraordinary genius. Both in fancy and in
•xecution, the drawings with which he has embellished **the Howlat" are exquisitely perfect

THE HUTH LIBRARY CATALOGUE:

Engravings, collected by HENRY HUTH, with collations and biblio-
graphical descriptions, 5 vols, imperial 8vo. portrait, hf morocco, top edges
gilt, £5. 1880
This Catalogue is made with so much bibliographical accuracy and fulness of detail that it
cannot fail to be useful to students and amateurs throughout Europe and America. Most of
the copies are already ordered, and prompt application will now be necessary to secure one.
Mr. Huth's Library is rich in illuminated MSS. of tihe most splendid character, and in
choice and magnificent specimens of MedisBval and Oriental art Mr. Huth's collection of
Bibles is singularly full ; - comprising almost every rare edition which is coveted by amateurs.
As much may be said of the section containing Works of Travel and Voyages, and including
most of the rare pieces which marked the advance of geo^ap'nical discovery in America and in
the East. The rare books in German and Spanish Literature — two favourite classes with
Mr. Huth — are sufiicient in themselves to stamp his library as one of exceptional importance ;
bat his collection of English books in fine bindings is unrivalled : It may be said that in
Sha kspeariana, and generally in large and well preserved examples of the literature of the
sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it stands faetU princsps.

This Register of Letters, hidden in obscnrity for near 300 years, gives the
best pictnre of the early Engh'sh trade operations which led to the
estc^blishmeiit of the power of the East India Company.
A carefully made Index makes these valuable Letters a ready book of
reference.
The official value of the volume consists in the early date and important
character of the documents it contains. Over one-fourth of them are of the
^I'st six years (1600 to 1606) of the existence of the " London East India
Company," commonly called '* The Old East India Company," a period of
which the records have hitherto been extremely meagre.
The volume covers all the " Separate Voyages,*' and the first seven
years of their *' Joint Stock Voyages," for a list of them seepage xiv.
The contemporary influence of the Company's early Voyages is to be
traced even in the plays of Shakespeare.
To the opium ranters Sir George Birdwood replies " As for opium
smoking, I am satisfied, from my own experience of it, that it is as innocaons
as smoking hay, straw, or stubble; opium is one of the greatest g^fts of
Providence."
The interest and importance of these early
Voyages and Adventures of the East India
('ompany is boundless, and their influence on
the destinies of the World indisputable.
As a result we have in the East our
splendid lodian Empire. In the West, we see
tiie greater part of the continent of North
America peopled by the Anglo-Saxon race,
due to the attempts organized by the Company
tu find a North- West passage, in 1602, which
resulted in the discovery and colonization of
Nct:- England. On pp. 21, 158, 190, etc., are
tUe terms, agreement s, and regulations for the
Voyages to attempt the discovery of the
North West passage which entitles this
volume to a place in the libraries of American
collectors.
Sir George Bird wood's Introduction gives a
vivid description of the various forces
employed in rearing our magnificeDt Eastern
Empire, and points out the dangers to be
encountered in maintaining it. He cdnclodes
by saying, "If the Spaniards have taken a
just pride in celebrating the fourth ceotenaiy
ot the discovery of the Americas by Columbus,
and the Portuguese are to follow them by
celebrating the fourth centenary of the
doubling of the Oape of Good Hope by Ds
Gama, is it too much to suggest that English-
men should also bestir themselves for the
celebration of the third centenary of the
'Old* East India Company's 'First Voysge'
in 1601 ?"

This is one of the monuments of British Rule in India, and records on every pa:;e the
abilit}' of that grand body the Indian Civil Service. The articles were specially written by the
different District officers throughout India and give 'details of the topography, political
administration, agriculture, commerce, antiquinen and ethnology of the various places
described.
In this work India is thoroughly revealed to English readers for the first time. Districts
and towns, far from railways and the beaten tracts of tourists, and hitherto known only by
occasional references in Government Reports, are in this work systematically described, and
serve to illustrate the wonderf al benefits that have accrued to the peoples of India from the
British Rule.

900 species.
The preface gives an account of all the Naturalists who preceded the author in endeavouring
to advance this branch of Natural History in the East, with comments on such matters connected
therewith as seem to be of interest to the scientific public, or relate to the economic value of the
Fisheries.
The Supplement contains many new piscine forms. discovered in 1878-1888.

In the preparation of this work Dr. Watt had the co-operation of all the principal scientists
of India, including Dr. King, C. B. Clarke, J. F. Duthie, and Dr. Trimen, while in England
Sir J. D. Hooker and Prof. W. T. Thiselton Dyer gave material assistance.
The anthor in his preface says, *' I have had to keep in view a twofold purpose, viz. : on the
one hand to supply scientific information which may be useful to the administrative officer ; and
on the other, to meet the requirements of the reader in search of definite information regarding
Indian economics." It may perhaps convey a not inadequate idea of the scope of the Dictionary
to say that with this double purpose in view it is hoped that something may have been done to
advance the material interests of India, and to bring the trade and capital of the West into more
direct cont act with the resources of the Empire.

A highly important work, giving for the first time the real historj of the governorship of

Macaulay's caricature of the subject. Prof. Forrest has done what the accnse<l statesman was
onahle to do, and has famished a vindication which, however tardy, is absolutely complete — so
far at least as the scope of the Selections has extended. The editor has included a vast nncr.ber
of state papers, extending from 1772, the year in which Hastings became Governor of Bengal,
to 1785, when he left India. Together with the editor's excellent Introduction the matter fills
three large volumes, which will be found interesting alike to the Indian specialist and to the
general student of history. — H. G. Keeke, in the Academy, August 2nd, lb90.

Declaring their allegiance to the Kinp, but resisting the authority of the English
Parliament, the Confederates, through their Supreme Council, organized forces,
nominated commanders and officials, collected revenue, levied taxes, minted
coin, treated with foreign powers, and governed a considerable part of Ireland.
The administration thus established was long maintained by the Contederate$<,
not only in opposition to the Government at Dublin and to continuous hostile
attacks from the English and Scotch settlers in Ireland, and those associated
with them, but also against large military and naval forces despatched from
England and Scotland.

The Work is pablished by authority of the Manicipal Coancil. No accarate acconntg
have hitherto been published of these records, which commence in the twelfth centnrj, and
are amongst the most important now extant for illustrating portions of Irish history, social
life, commerce, municipal administration, and progress of the people in Ireland in former times.
In the pre.«ent volumes, a comprehensive Calendar, in English, is for the first time printed, of the
following sections of the Dublin archives : — i. Hojal charters and governmental grants to the
citizens ; ii., iii., Contents of the ancient manuscript volumes styled the " White Book " and the
"Chain Book;'' iv. Acts and proceedings of the municipal assemblies of Dublin, as recorded on
tbe civic rolls from 1447 to 1610.
From The Times.
" This collection from the municipal archives of Dublin has historical and social as well aa
nrcbieological value. It has a direct bearing on the Irish questions of the day. ... It traces
indirectly the development of those Irish industries which were afterwards stifled by English
legislation ; it indicates the staples and the fluctuations of a flourishing foreign trade ; but its
chief interest is in the light it throws on tlie manners and customs of society in the olden time.
The archives of Dublin are a mine of rich material.^'

^* This is an English version, ranch enlarged and greatly improved, of a series of articles

fined to the quattrocento and to the xylographers who worked in Italy. The productions of each
city are treated independently, so that the student can refer to what is said about each of them
with or without regard to the others. Of course Florence, the most important of them, and.
according to Dr. Lippmann, the fountain-head of wood-engraving in Italy, receives by far the
greater part of his attention. The * single-leaf ' and other cuts which answered to our brond*
sides, and, very soon after xylography was given to popular use, attained prodigious circulation
in Italy and abroad, are reproduced in admirable facsimiles, which thoroughly illustrate their

on Japanese paper (puD. at 10s 6d), cloth gilt, 6s 1880
The " Chiushingura," is, or at least was, one of the most popular and best-known romances
in Japan. It is easy to understand why such should be the case, the main object of the table
being to glorify " cbiushin " or loyal-heartedness, the supreme virtue of the Bnshi class nnder
the old order of things that passed away with the year 1868. The story is, as a mere story, not
unskilfully constructed, and the variety of its incidents is sufficient to interest even the reader
of the sensation novels of the period ; while to those who still preserve some lingering affection
for the quaint and picturesque national life that ended with the last decade, to be replaced by
the vulgar and commonplace existence of the day, these pages, as descriptive of old-world
manners and already obsolete sentiments, a portion of a curious mediaeval system that has
lasted down to our own tiroes, will not, it is hoped, be altogether unpleasiug.

scarce original edition piiblislied in 1849, cloth, 20« 1876
This important work had bocfime so rare
that the copies which occasionally turned up at
sales were eagerly competed for, and brought
three or four times the original publication-
price. It was the nutgnum opus of its author,
a scholar unrivalled in his knowledge of the
earliest English history and antiquities. The
works of Sir Francis Palgrare, Lappenberg,
and Mr. Freeman, all belong like this to the
new school in which the notions of most
writers upon ancient England are replaced by
new and sounder views, but ** the Saxons in
England" mubt be liiudied by all who would
effectivelv clear their mental atnioiipbere of
the old clouds of ignorance and error. In this
treasury of historical knowledge and criticism,
the originei of the English race have to be
sought for, and the earliest forms of that
Teutonic civilization which has developed into
the society and institutions of the United

work based on exact knowledge which had ever been written upen the subject. The present

Censorship of the Press ; Mystics and Illuminati ; Endemoniadas ; el Sante Nido de la Guardia ;
Brianda de Bardari (ihe last two relating to the conversion and expulsion of the Jews). Thus
it will be seen that a great many readers, not particularly interested in the history of the

"This subject has recently been treated with very great learning, and with admirable impar-
tiality, by an American Author, Mr. Henry C. Lea, in his History of Sacerdotal CeUbacy, which
i^ certainly one of the most valuable works which America has produced. Since the great history
of Dean Milman, I know no work in English which has thrown more light on the moral condition
of the Middle Ages, and none which is more fitted to dispel the gross illusions concerning that
period which positive writers and writers of a cei*tain Ecclesiastical school have conspired to
sustain." — Lecky's History of Ewropoan Morals^ Chap. v.
"Mr. H. C. Lea's work is a book of formidable size (642 pp.), and dealing only ' with the
enforced celibacy of the sacerdotal class.* But as the survey ranges from the Essenes to the
priesthood of modem Catholicism, the field v snfilciently wide. The author's reading has been
extremely minute, and bis monograph appears to be exhaustive. We notice that he takes a very
unfavourable view of the morality of the priesthood of Continental countries (pp. 621-638). We
should like especially to direct the attention of those who believe in the present value of the
monastic orders in education to the appalling statistics on pp. 636-637. More, of course, we
cannot say on this subject." — Westminster Review^ April, 1885.

A beantifal and attractire work, containing etchingt of objects of t^M : Arms,
Jewels, Fnrnitnre, Crystals, Enamels, Porcelain, the work chiefly of great artists of the
Benaissance, and exhibiting the highest form of Art as applied to things used in the ordinaiy
transactions of life. The objects were selected from the finest collections of Europe, amongst
which may be mentioned Baron James de Rothschild and A. de Beaumont, le Comte de
Nienwerkerke, Marqnis of Hertford, M. Carpentier, le Mns^ Imperial da Lonvre, M. Spitier,
etc. The text was written by persons who had made the Tarions subjects a special stndy, sock
as M. Beaomont for the Armour — ^M. Mantz for Jewellery and Watches— MM. Ssniay and
Bartz for Furniture, etc. So far as the etcher's work is concerned, it has received eulogy from
all sides, for the perfection with which it reproduces and seems to convey the most delicate
lights and shades. Even the colonrist's hand could hardly satisfy the eye and the percepdont
more than these plain illustrations, in which any one with artistic feeling can almost discern the
very hues and tints of the originaUs.

"They throw a flood of light on the genealogies of the diocese of London, and especially
of London itself. I regard them as one of my greatest genealogical treasnres." — J. L. Chester,
Pebmary 16ih, 1880.
The " Marriage Licences," in the original MS., consist of live folio volames, of about 400
pages each, finely written and carefully indexed, from the following Offices, viz. : —
The Bishop of London*s Office, 1521 to 1828. Also the Dean and Chapter
of Westminster's Office (all talcen), 1599 to 1699 . . .3 vols.
Faculty Office of the Archbishop of Canterbury, 1543 to 1869 . .1 toI.
Vicar-Generars Office of the Archbishop of Canterbnry, 1660 to 1679 . 1 vol.
These Marriage Licences are now printed in strictly aVphahetical order, as the only method
of practical working value to the student, exhibiting, as it does, all the marriage entries under
any gi^en name at a glance.
To genealogists, lawyers, and students, both historical and biographical, the extreme value
of such records as these yield a fond of absolutely original information.
A complete Index, containing references to 25,000 marriages, accompanies the work.

One of the 100 great books on Mr. William Mon-is's List.
"The first edition of Lady Guest's 'Mabinogion' was published in 1838, and although
it created great interest at the time of publication, it is almost unknown to the preaent
generation of readers. The result} however, of its appearance was a reTiyal of the atudj of
Arthurian romance. Tennyson^s Idylls are in no slight degree founded upon the * Mabinopon,'
and tt)e subject has become one of general interest. Under these circumstances Lady Guest
has very wisely determined upon the republication of the work in a popular form, and the
volume, containing a perfect treasure house of Arthurian legend, will, we are sure, be received
with delight by the immense section of society who have learnt to feel a deep interest in the
heroes of the Round Table. The tales are fanciful, wild, and full of adventure. The manner
in which the knights triumph over foes natural and supernatural is wonderful ; and all lovers
of fairy lore, of the Arabian Nights, and of the doings of those now almost forgotten friends of
our boyhood, the Seven Champions of Christendom, will read with delight this delightful
collection of Welsh traditionary lore." — StoruZord, May 21st, 1877.
** liady Clmrlotte Guest having brought to the performance of her task not only the
necessary literary ability, but a considerable amount of enthusiasm, the old Welsh tales are
placed before us in a manner that is likely to secure for them the attention of a large and
important class of readers. Indeed, the reputation of the work has already been fully e6tablished«
as it is now nearly forty years since the publication of the first edition, and in that time the
legends have found their way into the hands of students both in this country and on the
continent, and have in many instances been made the basis of other efforts. The present edition
is designed to meet the requirements of a wider circle of readers, but at the same time it is by
no means of what is usually regarded as the popular order of books, seeing that it is issued in the
form of a handsome volume, the general appearance of which at once suggests the good taste of
those by whom it has been designed and prepared. Beautifully printed on good paper, with
wide margins, charminj^ly illastrated and hanosomelv bound, the book is one K>r careful usage
and quiet perusal in the study, where its literary merits are likely to be duly appreciated. Lady
Charlotte Guest has certainly placed the lovers of legendary lore under very considerable obliga-
tions by her well-directed labours, the result of which wc heartily welcome.'* — TJxe Rock,

This Work is a complete Catalogue of those named, dated, and iDscribed pieces of Early
English Fotterj which have survived the ravages of time and fire, and are to be found in the
Public Museums of this country and in the cabinets of the curious. It .is fondly hoped by the
Authors that no apology for the inception and production of such a book will be needed in
addressing iho^e whose interest in the Ceramic Arts of Great Britain has led them either to
collect, fuc 9m labors, some specimens of this fast vanishing ware, or to take careful note of such
species as are available for public inspection ; but it is likewise cheir earnest desire to entangle in
pleasant meshes not a few of the artistic and literary public who knew this early English art
only at a distance, and have not yet come under its spell. These will find, it is believed, much to
rejoice the eye which loves the Quaint and the Picturesque ; and, moreover, something to set
them thinking on the changes which the forces of modem " civilisation and refinement *' have
wrought in the vessels which form a part of the needs of every household.
** A subscriber at North Shields who has taken a large and small copy of Early English
Pottery, writes to Miss Hodgkin :-—
*'I kept back my answer to your note nntil the books came. They reached me safely
yesterday, and I am delighted with them, especially with the lar^e paper : the additional margin
helps the general effect of the page so much . . Tour illustrations are so real, that having the
book one can do without a collection, and so much of the colours of the original seems to be
given by the colours in which the blocks are printed.
'' Will you give my kind regards to yonr father, and tell him how much I feel indebted to
yon for your book."
''Mr. Hodgkin and Miss Hodgkin deal with < speaking ' pottery, and leave what is dumb
unchronided. To give their work permanent interest as a book of reference, they have in most
cases produced facsimiles of the inscriptions, besides illustrating their volume very lavishly with
engravings of entire pieces.
** There is a monograph on a certain neglected province of the Art, here examined so
thoroughly that it will probably be found needless to explore it again.
** A punch-bowl in Bristol delft of 1731 contains the following cheerful doggerel : —
" John Udy of Luxillion

Vahiable new Ornithological Work :
COLOURED FIGURES
OF THE
EGGS OF BRITISH BIRDS.
BT
HENRY SEEBOHM,
AUTHOB OP " SIBERIA IN EUROPE," " SIBERIA IN ASIA," "A HISTORY OF BRITISH BIRDS,"'
"catalogue OF THE BIRDS IN THE BRITISH MaSEUM" (vOL. V.)» " THE QEOORA-
PHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE FAMILY CHARADRILffi," " CLASSIFICATION OF
BIRDS," "THE BIRDS OF THE JAPANESE EMPIRE," ETC., ETC.
THE PBIOE OF THE WORK WILL BE £2. 2« TO 8UBS0EIBBB8;
TO NON'SUBSOBIBEBS £S. Ss.
The books which have been written on Bi'itish Birds, fiona the first edition
of Bewick in 1797, down to Saunders's Manual in 1889, are legion, but in very
few of them are the eggs of British Birds illustrated.
The firat edition of Hewitson*s Oology was begun in 1831, and the last
was finished in 1856. The plates were coloured by hand, and are most of them
good ; but all three editions have long been ont of print, and, indeed, much of
the letterpress was out of date.
Morris's plates are poor, being apparently execated when the art of chromo-
lithography was only in its infancy ; and the letterpress is not much better
than the plates.
"Seebohm's History op British Birds" is enriched with chromolitho-
graphic illustrations of the eggs ; but the letterpress alone fills three thick
volumes, consequently the work is expensive ; moreover, it will soon be out of
print. Furthermore, in the ten years which have elapsed since the plates were
produced, the art of printing in colour has made great advancement.
There are a few inexpensive books on the Eggs of British Birds, but they
contain only figures of the eggs of birds which breed within the British
Islands, and these by no means satisfy the wants of the egg collector.
For one who is interested in birds there are a hundred persons who are
interested in eggs. What the egg collector wants is a work in one volume, at
a moderate price, with coloured ill ast rations of the egg of every British bird.
But the fin-de-siecle egg collector is very exacting. To satisfy him the chromos
must be as good as love and money can make them. The letterpress, too, mast
be up to date in every respect, and, withal, not bulky. Into less than a page
devoted to each of the four hundred British birds must be condensed the
following facts : —
1. The extent of the breeding range.
2. The date of the nesting season.
3. The situation in which the nest is placed.
4. The size and shape of the nest, and the materials of which it is composed.
5. The number of the eggs.
d. The variations of size and colour of the eggs.
7. The wav to distinguish them from the cg<jrs which resemble them closely.
