That florid style of bibliographical exaggeration, which of late years, has become rather offensively conspicuous in works of this kind, has been studiously avoided. Numerous bibliographical Notes and References have been inserted, relating chiefly to the history, literary value, or some interesting peculiarity of the various works under which they appear; and it may also be stated, that not a single reference in the entire Catalogue is made to any bibliographical authority, which was not, at the time, directly under the eye of the compiler. A large proportion of the books in this Catalogue afford unquestion- able evidence that the present owner was not merely the collector of a most curious and valuable library, but that he was a diligent and critical Vlll NOTE. reader of the books he collected; and it is presumed their intrinsic value is, in no small degree, enhanced by the numerous learned and interesting MS. notes which many of them contain. It is proper to remark, that the owner's autograph will be found in nearly every volume. A small number of copies of this Catalogue, comprising over 250 pages, royal 8°, have been sumptuously printed on laid linen paper, with ornamental Initial Letters, Head-pieces and Titles of rare books, elegantly printed in colors. These copies have been reserved by the owner, almost exclusively, for private use. A very few copies only of this special edition will be offered for sale at $5.00 each volume. The Second Volume is in press, and when ready for distribution due notice will be given. Distant buyers and gentlemen who may be unable to attend the Sale, may have purchases made for them, at the usual rate of commission, by addressing their orders to Mr. Geo. P.

This peculiarity had already appeared in Pagnini's Bible, published in 1527; and Stephen's New Testament of 1551 was thus divided. Henry Stephen says tbat his father (Robert) made the division of the New Testament, during a journey on horseback from Paris to Lyons. .jj 108 BIBLIOTHECA LIBRORUM Novorum Collegia a L. Neocoro.

Denis, Svppletnentum, p. 648. a The last of the ancients, and one who forms a link between the Classical period ot literature and that of Middle Ages, in which he was a favourite author, is Boethius, a man of 6ne genius, and interesting both from his character and Jhis death. The Consolation of Philo- sophy, the chief work of Boethius, was written in his prison. Few books are more striking from the circumstances of their production. Last of the classic writers, in style not impure, though displaying too lavishly that poetic exuberance which has distinguished the two or three preceding centuries, in elevation of sentiment equal to any of the philosophers, and mingling a Christian sanctity with their lessons, he speaks from his prison in the swan-like tones of dying eloquence.p—Hallam. a While Boethius, oppressed with fetters, expected each moment the sentence or the stroke of death, he composed in the tower of Pavia the Consolation of Philosophy: a golden volume, not unworthy of the leisure of Plato or Tully, but which claims incomparable merit from the barbarism of the times and the situation of the author.d—Gibbon, Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, ('hap. xxxix. iS©I5@OTS (sic) mt tonioUtiont pi)iloio= p!)fe I cum commeuto Optimo, | In fine: Hffirf qufntp tit coufolatfoue ptjflofopJjfe Uoccfj eft cBmento per me | JJoljem ftoelfjoff tre Hutiecft (ftolonfe <£mc Trfltflenter elafcoratf &uuo | falutte ptcccclprrbtt'i* tpo tilt t)tl $ot}yin cijcnfoftomf ftnfut fclfcttcr *£> I C UoetfttS \_vcl potius Thomas Cantipratcnsis\ tit ftffcfplttta fcolartum I In fine: jFtmtur iUoecfus Be fcffcf= plftta fdjolarfum, jtFftrclttr^ necuS tJflfjjenter al | ma in bntuetfttate Houamcufi Cmpvcttua Kn ttomo magtftrf Joljannfs tit | toeftfalfa, &uuo tucarnatiflts tiomtmce, JttiUtftmo quaftrtufleteftmo octua | flemmoqufnto. | C <2Utctt(5e8 mafl(= | itxl Xoijams bcrfons fuper lh \ tiros etljtcorum Slrcftotelfs et | trrtus efuOrem. cum «n= 2% BOETHIUS. flttlart I trfltQCTTtta Corrects | [Wants dtabule* and I leaf at the end.] [ C Impreffe p Henricu \ Quentel, Ciuem alme ciuitatis Colonienfis.

Only 432 Copies Printed. *** This little volume is a handsome reprint of one of the most extraordinary books in the whole range of bibliography. For more than two hundred years its authorship has been the subject of much vehement and acrimonious controversy among the learned. It has been attributed to Boccacio, Poggio, Peter Pomponatius, Machiavel, Erasmus, Ochino, Estienne Dolet, Servetus, Rabelais, William Postel, Giordano Bruno, Vanini, Thomas Campa- nella, Muretus and even to Milton. It has always been so excessively rare, that many authors have denied its existence. The Due de La Valliere possessed a copy which was sold at his sale for 470 fr. Another copy was in the possession of M. Renouard, and was sold at his sale, in 1853, tor x4° lr- A C0P>' was also in tbe celeDratecl Crevenna library. These, we believe, are the only copies of the original Edition known to be extant. It is to this remark- able book that Sir Thomas Browne alludes in his Reiigio Medici (Lond. 1672, 4,v) sect. 20, where he speaks of a that Villain and Secretary of Hell, that composed that miscreant piece of the three Impostors.» It is quite surprising" that Mr. Wilkin and Mr. Gardiner, in their elaborate Editions of the Religio Medici, should have passed over this singular allusion to a curious book without a word of comment. The a Three Impostors* were supposed to be Moses, Christ, and Mahomet. 296 Bialofius nouns rt mivt ftUixtm, ■=— tv quoruntram tofromm fait- 1ms cntoratuStitou xaU mis eruBfttoufs quam ma^ carouiccs ampicctcus + 60 DIBDIN.

In his wit and pungent satire he stood almost alone; he was rivalled only by the inimitable EpistoLr Obscnrorum \~irorum, and the Julius Exclusus. Of the authorship of both these, indeed, Erasmus, notwithstanding his reiterated protestations, could hardly escape the honours and the perils. Hut the Praise of Folly, and the Colloquies, in which the surprised and staggard Monks hardly had discovered, what they afterwards denounced as impiety, ran like wildfire through Europe. They were in even' house, every academy, every school, we suspect in almost every cloister. The brst indignant remonstrances of the Ecclesiastical censure only acted, as in our days, as an adver- tisement. On the intelligence of their proscription, a bold printer in Paris [Simon de Colines] is said to have struck off above twenty thousand copies of the Colloquies, thus implying a demand for which the publishers of Scott, and almost of Macaulav, might hesitate to provide, in our days of universal reading.»—Dean Milman. a Simon de Colines, esp<5rant faire un grand gain sur les Ecoliers, imprima vingt-quatre mille copies du Livre des Colloques d'Erasme.P—Chevillier, VOrigine de P Imprimerie de Paris, p. 177.

It was the most popular of all Henri's books, passing through thirteen editions in his lifetime. Much of the seasoning of its anecdote was of that gross cast which might have passed unchallenged in Paris, but which was particularly odious to the discipline established at Geneva. Henri knew perfectly well that in issuing the book, he was defying authority on the very point on which it was most susceptible. He was known everywhere as the Pantagruel of Geneva.— Quart.

The First Part, after noticing the works treating of the general History of the Kingdom, mentions the Chronicles, Histories, and other publications relative to the particular Reigns of its Sovereigns. The Second Pari, comprises works on the Antiquities, Geography, and Topography of Portugal, and those concerning AMERICA, Asia, and Africa, and the Biographies of illustrious Portuguese. The Third and last Part, treats of works on the Church, Clergy, and Military Orders of Porttigal. Anonymous works are separately given after each of the chapters, under which their subjects may be classed.

EX- CEEDINGLY RARE. *** In the year 1840, the book-collectors in Europe were greatly excited by the publica- tion of the Sale Catalogue of the Count J. N. A. De Fortsas. This little volume of only sixteen pages contained a list of the books which formed the Count's collection, composed of fifty-two articles, but each of them unique. The Count would keep no book in his collection if he found it mentioned by any bibliographer. The sale was to take place in the office of a notary at Binche, an insignificant village of Belgium. It is said that Brunet, Nodier, Techener, Renouard, and other bibliophiles of Paris, met in the stage, each one having hoped to steal away unnoticed and have the game all to himself. The Baron de Reiffexberg, then the Director of the Royal Library of Brussels, asked for an appropriation to purchase some of these treasures, which was granted. One enthusiastic bookseller made the journey to Binche from Amsterdam, only to see I\° 75, Corpus Juris Civilis, printed by the Elzevirs on vellum. The Princess de Ligne, anxious to destroy the record of ber ancestor's achievements, and to protect the reputation of the grandmothers of the best families of the State, wrote to M. Voisin to buy N° 48 at any price. The Roxburghe Club was represented; and, singularly enough, every book in the Catalogue appealed with peculiar force to the taste of some distinguished collector, and each one was the fortunate possessor of a Catalogue through the Post. The day before the sale, the newspapers of Brussels contained a notice that the bibliographical world would learn with regret that the Library ot a. the Count de Fortsas y> would not be sold—that the town of Binche, having resolved to keep it together in honor of its collector, their towns- man, had bought it entire, and that henceforth it would form part of Wit Public Library of Binche.' The force of hoaxing could no farther go. was a myth: his chateau, his passion and success in bibliographical pursuits, were apocryphal; the unique treasures of his collection (notwithstanding the gentlemen who had duplicates) had no other existence than in this little Catalogue, which has become a great rarity and curiosity in the field of Bibliography. The author of this most witty and successful bibliographical joke was M. Renier-Hubert- Ghislain Chalon, of Mons. An exact reprint of the Fortsas Catalogue, with a translation of the Notes into English, will be found in a The Philobiblion,» (New \'ork: Geo. P. Philes. rSoj.) Vol. 11, pp. 7O-S4.

He has been described as our first uniformly careful and correct writer; and he rnay be admitted to have at least set the first conspicuous and influential example, in what may be called our existing English, of that regularity of style which has since his time been generally attended to. No writer has succeeded in making language a more perfect exponent of thought than it is as employed by Hobbes. In the prime qualities of precision and perspicuity, and also in economy and succinctness, in force and in terseness, it is the very perfection of a merely expository style.d—Craik. 555 HOFFMAN (DAVID).

They derive these mysteries from Adam; and assert, that whilst the first man was in Paradise, the angel Rasiel brought him the Book from heaven, which con- tained the doctrines of heavenly wisdom ; and that when Adam received this Book, angels came down to him to learn its contents, but that he refused to admit them to the knowledge of sacred things, entrusted to him alone ; that after the Fall, this Book was taken back into heaven; that,after many prayers and tears, God restored it to Adam; and that it passed from Adam to Seth, and has been transmitted to posterity through the hands of Simeon ben Scinch, Elkanah, A kibha, and Simeon ben Jochai,v;\\o is called by the Jews, The Prince of the Kabbalists.t> — See, Brucker's Historia Critica Philosophic, Tom, iv, /. 657 et sea.

At once a man of the world and of BooAs, he excelled equally in practice and speculation; was a Statesman and a Philosopher, a Jurist and a Divine. Nobles, and Princes, and Emperors, honored him with their favour, and employed him in their most difficult affairs: while the learned throughout Europe looked up to him as the atrilingue miraculumj> the apha>nix Htterarum.T) In Italy, native Romans listened with pleasure to his Latin declamation; and he compelled the jealous Greeks to acknowledge that ^Greece had overflown the Alps.v Of his countrymen, he was the first to introduce the study of Ancient Literature into the German Universities; the first who conquered the difficulties of the Greek language; the frst who opened the gates of the East, unsealed the Word of God, and unveiled the sanctuary of Hebrew wisdom. Agricola was the only German of the fifteenth century MANDEVILLE. 135 who approached him in depth of Classical erudition ; and it was not till after the commence- ment of the sixteenth, that Erasmus rose to divide with him the admiration of the learned. As an Oriental scholar, Reuchlin died without a rival.»—Sir William Hamilton. »2¥O0 690 MALCOLM (JAMES PELLER). I.

Among these tracts are a series of prophecies by one Johannes Vatigterro, whose a macaronic d name may be translated, John u In this collection, several of Dr. Johnson's acknowledged writings, several of his anonymous performances, and some which he had written for others, were inserted; but there were also some in which he had no concern whatever He was at first very angry, as he had good reason to be.

It is almost impossible to read his Essays without thinking that he speaks to us ; we see his cheerful brow, his sparkling eye, his negligent, but gentlemanly demeanour; we picture him in his arm-chair, with his few books round the room, and Plutarch on the table. His quotations, though they perhaps make more than one-half of his Essaysy seem parts of himself, and are like limbs of his own mind, which could not be separated without laceration.»—Hall am. /vtT749 MONTEIL (AMANS-ALEXIS).

The many sarcasms contained in this poem against the Pope, Cardinals, and Church of Rome, secured it a conspicuous place among the first class of heretical books in the hidejc Librorum Proh ibitorum, and the author's body was exhumed and burned to ashes.

She is commonly called the a Papess Joanna.d During the five subsequent centuries, the witnesses of this extraordinary event are without number; nor did any one, prior to the Reformation by Luther, regarded the thing as either incredible, or disgraceful to the church. But in the 17th century, learned men, not only among the Roman Catholics, but others also, exerted all the powers of their ingenuity both to invalidate the testimony on which the truth of the story rests, and to confute it by an accurate computation of dates.d /00 852 PAPILLON.

EXCEEDINGLY RARE. *** a This extraordinary man, whose writings throw considerable light on the history of the age, and whose Latin style pleases by its unaffected simplicity, was born in the year 1381, of the noble family of Bracciolini, and having spent his youth in travelling through different countries ot Europe, settled at length in Rome. He remained in this city as secretary in the service of eight successive Popes, till he was invited to Florence in the year 1452, being then up- wards of seventy years of age, to succeed Carlo Marsuppini as secretary to the Republic Of all his productions his Liber Facetiarum is the most singular. The gross indelicacy of some of his Tales can only be equalled by the freedom in which he indulges himself respecting the priesthood. It is difficult to conceive how he escaped in those times the resentment of that order; but we must remember that this work was produced in the bosom of the Church, and was probably an amusement for the learned leisure of Prelates and Cardinals.»—Roscoe, Life of Lorenzo ZV Medici, J>. 4S4. « His Liber Facetiarum, or Collection 0/ Jocose Tales, is highly interesting on account of the Anecdotes which it contains of several eminent men, who flourished during the 14th and 15th centuries. In the course of its perusal, we find many an humorous tale, which the modern jester narrates as the account of circumstances that occurred under his observation, were of the number of those which caused the walls of the Bugialc to re-echo with laughter. It is a striking proof of the licentiousness of the times, that an Apostolic Secretary, who en- joyed the friendship and esteem of the Pontiff, should have published a number of stories which outrage the laws of decency, and put modesty to the blush.r> a In the Facet ice, Poggio aimed a most mischievous thrust at his old antagonist Filelfo, by making him the hero of a tale, the ridiculous oddity of which disturbs the steady counte- nance of gravity itself, and causes the strictest severity for a moment to smile at the indelicacy which it condemns.»—See, Rev. Wm. Shepherd, Life 0/ Poggio Bracciolini, pp. 416-23. The genealogy of this curious tale from Poggio's Visio Francisci Philclphi, to La Fontaine's Anneau de Hans Carvel, will be found in the Menagiana. Paris: /7/j, Tome 1, p.jfy- Dk. Joseph Warton, and I. D'Israei.i have both appropriated this information, and made it their own by adding several careless chronological blunders.

This book greatly alarmed the papal hierarchy, and was denounced at its first publication as here- tical; but it contained such a mass of curious and valuable information on all subjects con- nected with the science of Optics, that it speedily obtained a rapid and almost universal circulation. It was translated into the Italian, French, Spanish, German, and Arabic lan- guages; and great multitudes of persons from distant parts of Europe repaired to Naples to obtain further information respecting the optical illusions which it developed.»—Morell, Hist, of Philosophy and Science, p. .£21-22.

His book on meteorology was the first in which sound ideas were broached. His researches in optics gave the world the caviera obscura, and, possibly, the telescope. In chemistry he seems to have been the first to show how to reduce the metallic oxides, and thus to have laid the foundation of all those industries based upon the staining and coloring of glass and enamels; and, last of all, he did much to change natural philosophy from a «Black Art) to a vigorous open science.»—A.

Lowndes is mistaken in saying that the title has «no date. » a The Author's main Design is to instill into the Mind of the Reader sound Principles of Morality, under the Vail of a pleasing Vision, an apposite Allegory, or a lively Emblem. Does your Genius induce you to relish poinant Conceits, or satyrical Composures? Here is a variety of smart Reprimands and lancing Invectives dextrously levell'd against the Vicious of both Sexes. Are you of a delicate Constitution, and apt to be transported with the Charms of the Female Race? Here are Representations of chaste Amours, and such as set forth all the shining Advantages of Conjugal Affection. r>—Preface.

His Elegantitz is a work on Grammar; it contains an explanation of refined turns of expression, especially where they are peculiar to Latin; displaying not only an exa<£t knowledge of that tongue, but often also a really philosophical study of language in general.t>—Heeren. a If those have done most for any science who have carried it farthest from the point whence they set out, Philology seems to owe quite as much to Valla as to any one who has come since. The Treatise [de Elegant ice] was received with enthusiastic admiration, continually reprinted, honoured with a paraphrase by Erasmus, commented, abridged, extracted, and even turned into verse.d—Hallam. aUnius Laurentii mordacitas non paul6 plus conduxit rei literarice, quam plurimorum ineptus candor, omnia omnium sine deleclu mirantium, sibique invicem plaudentium, ac mutuum, quod aiunt, scabentium.y>—Erasmus, Epist.

It is written in Leonine verses, and contains many excellent precepts in monkish poetry, and is the first book which prescribes rules of health in verse.d—See, Hamilton, Hist, of Medicine, Vol. i, /. 314 et seq.

The earliest commentator was Arnoldus de Villanova, one of the most celebrated men of the thirteenth century, as a physician, a chemist, an astrologer, and a divine; but having treated the monks and the mass with too great freedom, the clergy became his enemies. His tenets were condemned as heretical, and manjr of his works are inserted in the Index Expurgatorius. Above One Hundred and Sixty Editions of the Schola Salernitana have been published.p IOO 1061 SCHOOCKII (MARTINI).

A copy of this identical book was tied with a cord to the neck of Montrose at the time of his execution; and an English artist has appropriately commemorated this incident by painting it on a panel in the present House of Parliament. « The executioner,» says Hume, a brought that Book, which had been published in elegant Latin, of his great military actions, and tied it by a cord about his neck.p —Hist, of England, Chap. ix. < This first Marquis of Montrose was without doubt one of the most extraordinary characters for bravery, which Scotland ever produced. His execution was murder. He thought no more of a battle than a school-boy thinks of a game of marbles. War—not in its ferocious and sanguinary sense—was his delight. His latter moments exalt him to an enviable martyrdom. He was dressed, on the day of suffering, in the most splendid attire with which his shrunken wardrobe could furnish him. The History of his achievements was written and tied around his neck. He was executed on the 21st of May, 1650; and with a barbarity which marked that vicious period, his limbs were severed and exposed at the gates of the principal towns in Scotland. Meanwhile, let the reader seize with avidity upon the following Rare Book, whenever it falls in his way :—De Rebus aufpiciis SereniJJimi 6f PoientiJJimi Caroli, Regis M.

By WILLIAM HERBERT, of Cheshunt, Herts. London: Printed for the Editor, etc. mdcclxxxv-mdccxc. 3 vols, roy. 40 calf, gilt backs. Portrait and plates. *** a This is a very valuable and accurate work, and as honourable to the British nation, as to the deep critical researches and industry of the original compiler, Mr. Ames, and his continuator, Mr. Herbert. In the Third volume there are several sheets of corrections and additions, which should always be referred to in consulting the work.»—Dr. Adam Clarke. a He who looks into the Typographical Antiquities of Great Britain (as edited by Herbert), for elegant or interesting digressions relating to the ancient literature of his country, will, unquestionably, be disappointed in his search. The Editor's aim appears to have been purely typographical: to give a faithful list of the productions of the press ; without engrafting thereon any account of the various works of authors, or collecting the opinions of the best critics upon their merits or demerits. Now and then, some brilliant passages from Warton, or some curious extracts from Strype and Collier, throw a gleam of amusement over Eighteen hundred a?id thirty-eight closely printed quarto pages of a Catalogue of books published in our own country. The Bibliographer, Book-Collector, and Antiquary, will, however, rarely be disappointed in their expectations; for to this latter class of readers it is replete with useful and curious information. While Herbert has equalled the industry of Bacford, and eclipsed the reputation of Ames, he has evinced such diligence, patience, and minute fidelity, as have scarcely been exhibited by the most distinguished foreign biblio- graphers; and if he does not display the liveliness of Chevillier, and the taste of Renouard, he unites in himself all the accuracy of Audiffredi, and perseverance of Panzer. No single country can boast of such an acquisition to its history of ancient literature as our own, in the Typographical labours of Herbert.d—Dibdin. 1355 ANAKPEUNTU2 THIOF ME AH Praefixo Commentario qvo l_j () $ poetae Genvs Traditvr et Bibliotheca Anacreonteia Advmbratvr.

London: Charles Knight & Co. m.dcccxli. 3 vols. roy. 8° polished calf , extra, gilt backs, ?narbled edges. ***aMR. Lane's Edition is universally known; its illustrations are so exquisite, and so wildly fanciful, appearing absolutely as the very dreams of the reader's own imagination spontaneously wrought into shape. But of the Notes that follow and illustrate every chapter, it is impossible to speak too highly. The learned editor's intimate knowledge of Arabian manners, feelings, and prejudices; his thorough acquaintance with the language and character of the natives; the facilities of communication he possessed with the latter during his long sojourn in Egypt, all combine to render him the fittest, perhaps, of any man living for the task he has so ably executed: it would seem as if the work and the translator were made expressly for each other. The felicity with which the oriental style has been preserved throughout this translation is another of its singular merits; it is always imaginative yet always simple, so as to impress the reader with the character of the original, but never to fatigue his patience, nor outrage his better taste; for it has no affectation. Divested of every indelicacy, these delightful Tales now contain nothing that can deter the purest or the most fastidious from perusal.r»—Foreign Quarterly Review. 1366 ARABIC MANUSCRIPT; Entitled, « The HEART of IJ~L*= JESUS.» Very neatly written on glazed paper, and contains 184 pages.

All, indeed, is a collection of researches and of reasonings: he had the art of melting down his curious quotations with his own subtile ideas. He collects everything: 1412 BENGER. 275 if truths, they enter into his history; if fictions, into discussions: he places the secret by the side of the public story; opinion is balanced against opinion: if his arguments grow tedious, a lucky anecdote or an enlivening tale relieves the folio page; and, knowing the infirmity of our nature, he picks up trivial things to amuse us, while he is grasping the most abstract and ponderous. Such were the materials, and such the genius of the man, whose folios, which seem destined for the retired few, lie open on our parlour tables. The men of genius of his age studied them for instruction, the men of the world for amusement. Amidst the mass of facts which he has collected, and the enlarged viewrs of human nature which his philoso- phical spirit has combined with his researches, Bavle may be called the Shakespeare of dictionary makers.D—D'Israeli. 1413 BEC DE FOUQUlfeRES (L.)

The poem of The Wallace, composed in heroic couplets, is about the same length as The Bruce, of which it is the counterpart. The narrative is often highly vigorous, and the battle-pieces occasionally stirring; but needs all the exaggeration of patriotism to attribute to the author a the genius of a second Homer.i> It is the great authority for those incidents connected with the life of the hero which have been reproduced in the Talcs of a Grandfather and the Scottish Chiefs; and from the first scene with the fishing-rod to the last on the scaffold, these are narrated with a vigour that has never been surpassed.!)—Prof. J.

Our public and private libraries are rich in Chaucer manu- scripts, and the best of these must be available for critical use before an authoritative, complete and satisfactory text of Chaucer can be produced. But the only way of placing these manu- scripts within the reach of English scholars is by printing them ; and, if done at all, this must obviously be the work of a special Society. With this end in view, the Chaucer Society was accordingly founded, and it is pleasant to find the two great divisions of the Anglo-Saxon race united in this effort to illustrate the genius and honour the memory of its first great poet and dramatist.!)

Collier, as most people know, was con- spicuous in history as a nonjuring bishop; and when contemporary History and Biography passed through the hands of such a man, the method in which he discoursed of them would of necessity be of more significance than the compilations of the ordinary compiler.!)

VERY RARE. *** 4 It seems unpardonable,!) says Beloe, «to undertake the giving an account of the writers on the subject of Grammar, without saying something of Donatus, whose tract on The Eight Parts of Speech has afforded so fertile a source of discussion to Bibliographers. Popular as this tract was, and useful as probably it was found, it seems a reasonable conject- ure, that in the infancy of Typography, this might exercise the first labours of the earlier printers. We know that this was the case with regard to Sweynheym and Pannartz, whose first production it was, at their press established at the Subiaco Monastery. They inform us so themselves in their supplicatory address to Pope Sixtus tv. The words have often been quoted in books of Bibliography, but as I do not remember to have seen this subject intro- duced in any English work, I may be excused inserting them here. l Donati pro puerulis, ut indeprincipium dicendisumamus unde imprimendi initium sun1.psi.7nus, nujnero trecc-nti.'1 Of these three hundred copies not a fragment is anywhere to be found; but this can hardly ex- cite wonder, when it is considered for what use they were intended and applied, and that they must have been worn, defaced, and destroyed like other elementary books for children.»— Beloe, Anecdotes of Literature, vol. iv., p. 364. a It is supposed that the printing of the Eight Parts of Speech, by Donatus, formed the first typographical effort of the presses of Gutenberg, Coster, and Sweynheym and Pan- nartz. Fust and Schoeffer also lay claim to a very early impression of this once popular work. That Sweynheym and Pannartz printed this work, we have their own positive testi- mony—since it is mentioned the first in order in the list of their works. Vet no copy of this Donatus has been described by any bibliographer of tbe last or of the preceding century. Nor has better success attended the search after the Donatus printed by Fust and Schoeffer.d -Dibdin, Bibl. Spcnceriana, vol. hi., p. 63. a La popularity de PArs Grammatica, et particulierement du De Octo Partibus Orationis, est sufRsamment prouvee par le nombre prodigieux d'editions qui en furent faitcs dans les premiers temps de l'imprimerie.

The immediate cause of their appearance was the persecution of the celebrated scholar, Reuchlik, by the theologians of Cologne, which disputed with Louvain the dubious honour of being the headquarters of all that was obsolete, narrow, and obscur- antist in European thought. Among Reuchlin's many claims to respect, his Hebrew scholar- ship was one of the chief; and it was on this side that he was attacked by the authorities of the university, viz: Tungern, dean of the faculty of theology; Hoogstraten, the prior of the Dominican convent; and Ortuinus Gratius (Ortuin von Graes \ the hero of the Epistola-, whose name will live in comic literature as long as that of the sausage-seller of Aristothanes, the Pantilius of Horace, the Og of Dryden, the Sporus of Pope, the Tartuffe of Mouere, or the Marquis de CaTabas of Bkranger. The tool used by these bigots against the illustrious Reuchlin was one John Pfefferkorn, of whom Erasmus says, that from a wicked Jew he had become a most wicked Christian—ex scelerato jfudce sceleratissimum Christianum. The plan of the satire is simple, but dramatic and effective. There had been recently published acollection of the letters ofa Illustrious men r> to Reuchlin; and Ortuinus Gratius is supposed to publish those of his own friends, whom he modestly calls « Obscure men,t> in his turn. The obscure ones, accordingly, speak for themselves in all the freedom of confidential communication; and never did such a curious set of marionettes gambol before the world as those of which Ulrich von Hutten and his colleagues pull the strings. Now it is Mag-is tcr Bernhardus Plumii.egus writing from ,Leipsic; now it is Maoister Petrus Hafenmusius writing from NUrenberg; or Magister Hiltbrandus Mammaceus from Tubingen; or Macister Gerhardus Schirruglius, from Mayence. But a family likeness runs through the whole of them. A stolid brutal ignorance, enlivened by the most unaffected self-conceit; a bigotry never modified by a shadow of a doubt; a sl)r, oily sensualism, to which the very hypocrisy accompanying it seems to lend additional piquancy—these are the common features of the race. Their Latin is delicious by its homely barbarism; and this is one chief charm of the Letters to which no translation can do justice.» See Zkller, Ulrich de Hutten, sa Fie, etc.,/. 2S. 332 EPISTOLARUM OBSCURORUM VIRORUM. 1713 EPISTOLARVM OBSCVRORVM VIRORVM.

And what is almost equally astonishing, the misprision has never been remarked. In 1710, there was printed in London the most elegant edition that has yet appeared of the Epistola? Obscurorum Virorum, which the editor, Michael Maittaire, gravely represents as the production of their ostensible authors, and takes credit to himself for rescuing, as he imagines, from oblivion, so curious a specimen of conceited ignorance, and unconscious absurdity. The edition he dedicates «Isaaco Bickerslajf, Armigcro, Magnce Britannia; Censori;* and Steele, in a subsequent number of the Tatler, after acknowledging the compliment, thus notices the book itself: 'The purpose of the work is signified in the dedication, in very elegant language, and fine raillery. It seems this is a collection of Letters, which some profound blockheads, who lived before our times, have written in honour of each other, and for their mutual information in each other's absurdities! They are mostly of the German nation, whence, from time to time, inundations of writers have flowed, more pernicious to the learned world than the swarms of Goths and Vandals to the politic (!!)' The monks are no marvel after this.»—Sir Wm. Hamilton.

This division is followed by remarks on the Forms of Books —the different Styles of Bookbinding in various Ages,—the Knowledge of Books, and the Causes of their relative Value and Scarcity, together with the best Methods of preserving and repair- ing them. The Principles on which the Classification of a Library should be conducted, are then explained, and Illustrated by a copious System for its arrangement.

II se proposait de rt'unir tous les ouvragc-s remarquables, anciens et modernes, surtout les ceuvres litU'raires et historiques, et n'admettait que les editions les plus estimees, que des ex- emplaires splendides. Jamais amateur ne se montra plus difficile dans le choix des ouvrages et des exemplaires. Trouvant rarement des livres dignes d'etre admis dans sa bibliotheque tels qu'il les avait acquis, il prit le parti de cn'er, pour ainsi dire, chacun de ces livres. II s'attacha naturellement aux belles editions publiees vers la tin du siecle dernier et a celles qui parurent de son temps. De ces Editions, il ne prenait que les exemplaires de choix, tires a petit nombre sur papier de luxe. II lui fallait des livres neufs, non 1 ogncs, et souvent il acheta successivement cinq ou six exemplaires du meme ouvrage pour choisir les feuillets un k un. Etait-il enrln parvenu a former un livre parfait, il le faisait relier par un des meilleurs relieurs; puis il le pla9ait dans sa bibliotheque, apres avoir pris les plus grandes precautions contre tout ce qui pouvait en alterer la fraicheur.p LABORDE (LEON DE).

Several chapters, that seem digressive in an his- torical light, are to be defended by tbis consideration. In his review of Books in every pro- vince of literature, Morhuf adopts a sufficiently chronological order; his judgments are short, but usually judicious; his erudition so copious, that later writers have freely borrowed from the Polyhistor, and in many parts added little to its enumeration.»—Hai.lam. u 00- /.': 3S6 MOTIS.

It contains criticisms far above the taste of that period: among these is the judgment on Shakespeare, which was not then, I believe, the general opinion, and which perfectly coin- cides with the sentiments and words of Milton in VAllegro; a Or sweetest Shakespeare, fancy's child Warble his native wood-notes wild.d—Thomas Warton. n ? 398 PINELLI. ^121 PHILLIPS.

Index. *** a The late Mr. Power's Handy-Book About Books, stands to other books in much the same relation as Notes and Queries does to other papers. It possesses the same sort of out-of- the-way erudition, the same pleasant aroma of black-letier. It is a book for the bookish, for book-worms and bibliomaniacs. Mr. Power was, however, something more than a book- worm or a bibliomaniac. The present work testifies both to his scholarly knowledge and his artistic taste. Mr. Power has practised what he preached. He was a lover of handsome bindings. He has therefore enshrined his present work in two covers, one Italian and the other French, both of the best sixteenth century work. He advocated toned paper for books, and accordingly his pages are of a soft, delicate cream-colour, which is a great relief to the eyes. He was an admirer of the so-called l silver letter,'and his book is printed in a type which may almost equal it for clearness. Lastly, he was always most urgent that every book should be provided with a good Index, and we accordingly find the best and fullest which we ev e r m e t.

This title is on a frontispiece representing a gate of rustic architecture, at the top of which are two boy angels 7vith emblems of mortality between them, and underneath are the three Fates. At the bottom, Adam and Eve with the tree of knowledge, each holding the apple pre- sented by the serpent. Betxveen them is a circular table, on which are eight skulls of a Pope, Emperor, Cardinal, &fc, with appropriate mottoes in Latin. On the outer edge of the table, STATVTVM EST OMNIBVS HOMINIBVS SEMEL MORI POST HOC AVTEM IVDICIVM. In the Centre the letters MVS, the terminating syllable of each motto. Before the gate are two pedestals, inscribed MEMENTO MORI, and MEMORARE novissima, on ivhich stand figures of Death supporting two Pyramids or obelisks, surmounted with skulls and a cross, and inscribed iter ad vitam. Below, Eberh: Kieser excudit. 4° vellum. 60 fine copper-plate Engravings, printed within borders of flowers.

Ever since the brilliaut pen of Voltaire gave definite shape to the strange legend, the story of the Man in the Iron Mask has stirred the fancy or perplexed the judgment of students of the reign of Louis XIV. ; and few tales in the annals of France are more dramatic and suggestive of awe than the phantom of this imprisoned victim, withdrawn from the sight of men by his pitiless gaoler, and, after a life of fearful seclusion, disappearing finally within the shadow of the Bastille, one of the untold secrets of that terrible prison- house. Increasing research and knowledge, indeed, have, in the opinion of judicious critics, put an end to most of the extravagant guesses of the eighteenth century upon this subject Of late years three views only have been commonly held on this question; and it has been generally supposed that the Mask was either Mattioli, an Italian agent of the Duke of Man- tua, of no great note, or else an unknown prisoner of obscure station, or, finally, that the tale is a myth, and that the existence of the Mask is incapable of proof.D 2264 aTRACTS.D A COLLECTION of EXCEEDINGLY 4 ccf= CURIOUS TRACTS on Various Subjects, some of which are ^ * Grossly Facetious.
