The last volume is not, properly, a part of the work, though issued under the same name. The books were not sold by auction, and the prices were not affixed, as is usual with booksellers.

[Harrisse(Henry).] Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima A Description of Works relating to America published between the Years 1492 and 1551 Imp. 8vo, pp. (8), liv, 519.

New-York Geo. P. Philes,MDCCCLXVI

Four hundred copies printed in imperial 8vo, one hundred and nine in 4to, ten of which are on Holland paper. It was undertaken at the suggestion of Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, of New York, and contains the titles of over three hundred books. As a specimen of American typography, it has probably never been surpassed. In regard to its merits it has received at the hands of some members of the Geographical Society of Paris very high praise, of which an English version (in part) will be found in Stevens'Bibliotheca Historica, followed by some rather severe criticism on the work by Mr. Stevens, who, writing in the third person, quotes largely from an article in theAthenæumof the 6th of October, 1866, of which Mr. Stevens is the author. The writer of this notice does not presume to enter into a controversy with, or a criticism upon, the works of either of these bibliographers, but he cannot help regretting that a work so elaborate, learned, and useful to the American bibliographer, as thisBibliotheca Americanais, should have been the vehicle of any exhibition of personal pique. We have been assured on very good authority that the blunder of "Ander Schiffahrt's" was really due to the proof-reader, and that the Index, in which Schiffahrt (Ander) is made to appear once more inpropria persona,was not the work of Mr. Harrisse at all. Let it suffice for us to remark that for the student of the earliest of books relating to America, this book is indispensably necessary. We may add that Mr. Harrisse has, in some instances, quoted works from White Kennett'sBibliothecæ Americanæ Primordia, and made the remark that he has found nothing in the works so quoted relating to America. This has arisen from the fact that he has misapprehended the nature of that work, which purposely introduces many books which had no relation to America. The following is a continuation:

Paris Librairie TrossM.DCCC.LXXII

Two hundred copies printed in 8vo, and fifty copies in 4to. In the matter of printing and paper this volume exceeds in beauty that of its predecessor. Its contents cover the same ground; some titles contained in the former work are further elaborated, and many are entirely new. It will, perhaps, not be saying too much that many of them are only remotely related to America, but the author's careful researches and elaborate dissertations have combined to render the volume a very desirable addition to an American bibliographical collection.

Ninety copies only printed for presentation, at the expense of Samuel L. M. Barlow, of New York. It is one of the finest specimens of printing by the Riverside Press, and having been privately printed, is as rare as it is beautiful. It is both bibliographical and historical, and in each department is a specimen of seal and erudition.

London: Longman.1829.

Twenty-five copies printed in imperial 8vo on large vellum paper. The original letters in this volume form a very interesting portion of its contents. Those of Ciofanus are filled with abuse of Aldus Junior, whom he termsla Cornacchia Esopea, and of whose literary ability he speaks very slightingly. It also includes a reprint ofCapell's Shakesperiana.

This amusing bibliographical squib is written by "Carolus Henricus Hartshorne," in whose hand the memorandum of the number of copies printed is given on the fly-leaf. It appears from this that only twenty were printed, and probably in a private manner for presentation. The spelling and printing are equally ancient in style, and the whole discourse, ending with the poem, runs upon black letter and other antique lore.

With One Hundred Illustrations.... Imp. 4to, pp. 224. 105 Plates.

London: Bernard Quaritch.1867.

The first issue consisted of three hundred copies only. The publisher's certificate to that effect is usually inserted in the work. "The illustrations of this work, which, unlike facsimiles produced by hand, mustnecessarilybe absolute reproductions of their originals, exceed one hundred in number, and frequently consist of representations of entire pages from many of the most interesting books produced by the early printers. Among them may be mentioned an entire folio page from the first printed Bible, the magnificent work of Gutenberg, richly adorned with ornamental borderings by a contemporary German illuminator. An entire page from the celebrated Psalter of Schæffer, in which the large capitals are printed in colours, in rivalry with the illuminators of the time. Pages from the first books printed in Italy, France, Spain, Flanders, and Holland, accompany the accounts of the introduction of the printing press to those countries; and several such entire pages in facsimile illustrate the description of the works of William Caxton, the founder of the printing press in England. In addition to these and many illustrations of other kinds, will be found a very interesting and an abundant series of examples from the most richly decorated of the French 'Horæ,' and from the profusely illustrated German books produced in the first half of the sixteenth century." The copies dated 1868 are somewhat inferior as regards the plates.

Humphreys.Master Pieces of the Early Printers & Engravers. A Series of Facsimiles from Rare and Curious Books remarkable for Illustrative Devices, Beautiful Borders, Decorative Initials, Printers Marks, Elaborate Title-pages, &c. By H. Noel Humphreys, ... Imp. 4to.

London: H. Sotheran & Co.1870.

First issued in parts, which are preferable for the early impressions of the seventycurious plates. "The great beauty of many of the books produced by the Early Printers, both at regards the remarkable and various character of their Types, and the exquisitely designed Initials and Borderings with which their pages are enriched, is scarcely known and appreciated beyond the narrow circle of enthusiastic bibliographers who have made the first works that issued from the printing press a subject of special study; and it is to make them more widely known that the present work has been projected. The greater part of the examples are now published for the first time, and have never appeared in any other bibliographical work. They comprise designs by Wohlgemuth, Durer, Burgemair, Cranach, and others equally celebrated."

This valuable work is too often regarded merely as a book for printers, whereas it contains more information respecting early printed books than is to be found in any other and more costly volumes.

It was issued in three different sizes, the largest being known as the Roxburghe Edition with Portraits on India paper.
