)NSPIGOOUS among Private Libraries of international re-
pute, such as the " Hibliotheca Spenccriana," over the biblio-
graphy of which Dibdin so lovingly lingered, was that of
the Trivuliio, at Milan. This bad long been the " Sacred
Kaaba " of Italian bibliophilistic pilgrims, as the Althorp
collection is still of British bibliognostes. Its celebrity has
been such that the fame thereof has found its way into the encyclopedias.
Thus we read on page jSgof the eleventh volume of Appleton's " New American
Cyclopedia " that "the most extensive private library in Milan, is that of
the Marquis Trivuliio."
As a number of the illuminated vellum treasures of this library are to be dis-
posed of in New York, under the auctioneer's gavel, perhaps a brief account
will not be uninteresting of the former owners of these precious gems which are
so rich in literature, so resplendent in color, so glorious in art. and so hoary
with antiquity.

The annals of the Trivulzio family are a portion of medievalism. The raid-
die ages can no more be divorced from this house of Milanese patricians, than
from association with the Mcdicis and Sforzas, with whom it helped to make
iv
PROEM.
tip the wondrous historic pageant of Italy during the fifteenth and sixteenth cen-
turies.
The Trivulzio genealogy is a marvel. Authors whose names are unknown
to most of our expert bibliographers have elaborated its charts and chanted its
peans. Francesco Scauro, A. Callimachus Siculus, Antonio Crasso, Antonio
Maria Storione, Arcangelo Madrignara. Martinus Bovolinus, Antonio Tilesio,
Alessandro Porro and Andrew Assaraci Sarrachi, are a few of its lesser authorities.
Muzio in the " Ilistoria Trivultia " asserts that the family is indigenous to
Milan and that A. D. 941-1011 a certain " Regifredo d'Ingone da Trivulzio,"
lived, moved, and had his feudal being.
Litta devotes four double folio sheets in the " Famiglie Celcbri Italiane"
to the Trivulzios. He commences their tabulated pedigrees with Ambrosio
Trivulzio, living about the year 1 170, and concludes the generations in 1819
with two brothers— the Marquis Alessandro Trivulzio, General of the National
Guard of Milan, who assisted at the coronation of Napoleon Bonaparte, and
the Marquis Gerolamo Trivulzio who was decorated with the Iron Crown by
Napoleon, and whose wife Vittoria, daughter of the Marquis Maurizio Ghcr-
ardini, of Verona, was remarried after his death to the " Marchese Alessandro
Visconti d' Aragona."
But if any greater evidence were wanted of the aristocracy of the Trivulzios,
what more need be said than that they allied themselves with the most noble
houses of Visconti, Uorromeo, Doria, Colonna, Grimaldi, Palavicino, and others
equally blue-blooded ?
And they were I.ordsof Formigara and Casteldidone, Counts of Muzo, Melzo
and Musocco, Marquises of Trivulzio, Sesto, Vigevatto and P izzighettone.
But of all the Trivulzios "the Great Trivulzio" was the Trivulzio of
them all. The full name of this distinguished character was Gian Giacomo
Trivulzio. His biography was ably written at the beginning of this century
by Carlo Rosmini. This great Italian soldier and contemporaneous compatriot
of Columbus stands out in bold relief from the period of the Renaissance, as
Governor of Milan, where he wielded the baton of a Marshal of France.
The parents of " Trivulzio the Great " were Antonio Trivulzio and Frances-
ebina di Domenico Arcardi Visconti. The Marshal was thus maternally the
descendant of the old Dukes of Milan, where he was born in 1447. He was
PRORM.
V
appointed by Galea no Maria, Duke of Milan, one of the Council of Regency
of bis son and heir, Gian Galeazzo Sforza. Trivulzio played a leading part in
the troubles brought about by the many treacheries of Ludovico Sforza, who —
" copious in gallantry, splendid patron of an incomparable Leonardo da Vinci —
holding the ducal crown of Milan in his grasp, and wanting to put it on his own
head, rather than let it rest on that of a feeble nephew who would take very
little to poison him, was much afraid of the Spanish-born old King Ferdinand
and the Crown Prince Alphonso, of Naples, who, not liking cruelty and treach-
ery which were useless to themselves, objected to the poisoning of a near rela-
tive for the advantage of a Lombard usurper." For some time Trivulzio was a
general in the service of King Alphonso, but, having had considerable difficulty
with Duke Ludovico in his diplomatic complications and murderous Macchiavell*
isms, he joined forces with the French army. The results were the eventual
destruction of the Sforza dynasty and the occupation of Milan by France. " The
Great Trivulzio " fought under three French monarchs — Charles VIII., Louis
XII. and Francis I.— and was the commander of their armies. In 1490,, after
the death of Charles "the Courteous," and on behalf of Louis XII, he returned
to Milan at the head of the legions of France. It look him twenty days to
conquer the Milanese, and make the French King their Duke, instead of "the
Moor " Ludovico, who exchanged his Italian palace for the prison in France
where he died. Trivulzio was given the governorship of Milan as a reward for
mining his country. At the battle of Agnadello he led the vanguard of Louis
the Twelfth's army, and, by his victory of Marignan, reconquered from Massi-
miliano Sforza the dukedom of Milan for Francis the First, " the Father and
Restorer of Letters, and of the Arts."
The Marshal Trivulzio died at Chartres in 1518. He is buried in the family
sepulchre of San Nazzaro Maggiore, at Milan, where, upon his tomb, can be
read the lines he ordered to be inscribed thereon : — " Johannes Jacobus Mag-
nus Trivultius Antoni hlius quo nunquam quievit quiescit tace."
* *
*
There are no less than twenty different Trivulzio medals engraved in Litta's
work, where also are given views of the monuments in the family chapel an-
nexed to the church of San Nazzaro. They are of those erected (o " Trivulzio
the Great," and his two wives Margaret de Colonna and Beatrix de Avalos de
Aquino"— to his father Antonio — to his eldest son " Io. Nicolaus," Count of
Muzo, and other immediate descendants. Litta has likewise added four por-
traits, illustrative of his genealogical text videlicet: — Camillo Trivulzio, General
in the service of France ; Theodore Trivulzio. Marshal of France ; Ambrose
vi
PROESf.
Trivulzio, Bishop of Bobbio ; Gio. Giac. Theodore, Cardinal Trivulrio and
Governor of Milan.
One of the principal Milanese show places for tourists is the " Ospisio
Trivulzi," where six hundred aged people are fed, clothed, and housed, by an
eighteenth century charitable endowment of the house of Trivuliio.
*
Besides having a famous library filled with heirlooms, no small portion of
which was very probably the " loot " of the " Great Marshal," the Trivulrios
have always had a penchant for literature.
Girolamo Porro, of Padua, dedicated the 1576 Venice Edition of the " Isole
Piv Faraoso del Mondo"of Thomaso rorcacchi, as follows :—" All' Illvstre
S. Conte Georgio Trivltio, Dottore, Cavalicrc, Conte di Mclzo, Regio, e Dvcal
Senatore."
The year 1617 saw the publication at Venice of a volume, which, for many
a year, proved quite a bugbear to bibliographers. This was " II Brancaleone,"
written under the pseudonym of " Latrobio filosofo." The "philosopher
Latrobius had no existence as such, and some hebctudinous cataloguers bap-
tized the author " Signor Brancaleone." Huet, in the " Originc des Romans,"
states that the entertaining and witty Italian novel " II Brancaleone," is, with
out doubt, an adaptation of " The Golden Ass " of Apuleius, or of the " Lucius,
or Ass " of Lucian.
" Latrobio Filosofo" was really Geronimo Trivuliio.
Other Venetian fiction brings a Trivulzio forward as a lover of books. The
" Tre Novelle" of Luigi Lollino were reprinted at Milan in 1822, and the
edition, limited to twenty copies, was, according to Brunei, executed at the
expense of the Marquis G. Giac Trivuliio.
The member of the family who seems, however, to have been most pains-
taking in matters bibliomaniacal, was the archaeologist, numismatist and anti-
quarian essayist, the Marquis Carlo Trivuliio, who died at Milan in the year
1784, aged seventy-four. The deeply interesting bibliographical notes in nearly
all of the ancient and medieval manuscripts of the library in the " Palazzo
Trivulzio " prove incontestably that this ardent dilettante was one filled with
the enthusiasm of " the scholar " described by Chaucer over five hundred years
ago:—
For him was leuer han al hii bed'i hed
Tweotie boolces, dad with blacke or red.
Of Aristotle, and of hit Philosophic,
Than robea rich, or fiddle, or gay saulrie.
PROEM.

I', it all be that he wat a Philosopher,
Yet had he but little gold in cofer.
But all that he might of his friends heat.
On bookes and on learning he it epent."

With beauteous examples of illuminated art from the " Trivulzio Collection "
spread before me, I can readily imagine what a marvelously fine library the
whole, as a unit, must have been. Like the other great princes and nobles of
medieval Europe, the Trivulzios patronized such illuminators as Giulio Clovio,
Franco Bolognese, and Bcncvenuto da Imola. Mr. M. Digby Wyatt, in " The
Art of Illuminating as 1'racticcd in Europe from the Earliest Times," writes as
follows: — " For the Gonzagas, Sforzas, d'Estcs, Medici, Strozzi, Visconri, and
other groat families, the best artists were constantly employed in decorating
both written and printed volumes, in which portraiture is freely introduced, and
picturesque and historical subjects are represented with great vivacity and
attention to costume and local truth. Thus in the truly exquisite ' Grant of
Lands ' by Ludovico il Moro to his wife Beatrice d'Este, dated Jan. 2Sth, 1494,
and preserved in the British Museum, speaking portraits of both Ludovico and
Beatrice are introduced, with their arms, and beautiful arabesques- Again, in
the Haiirot ' Sforziada,' the first page contains exquisite miniatures of three
members of the princely family of the Sforzas, by the hand of the all-accom-
plished Girolamo dai Libri."
Many of the Trivulzio manuscripts are of thus exceedingly high order of art
work, and one can easily recognize the evolution of the " Madonna dclla Sedia,"
and similar paintings on wood or canvas, from the illuminated miniatures in
Missals and " Heures " of the " Moycn Age." Kaffaele Sanzio and the early
great masters simply enlarged the conceptions and followed in the wake of their
predecessors in the "scriptoria."
And thus not only the development of painting, but the growth of literature,
the enthusiasm of religion, and the march of history, can be studied and appre-
hended, in the open pages of these volumes, bright with gold and toned with
color in illustration of the black and red Gothic text of the medieval tran-
scribers, who : —
" Some with antiquated flyle
On waxen tablet! promptly write:
Others, with finer pens the while
Form lecten lovelier to the tight."

The preceding was written by me in October, 1886, and appeared in the
preface to the I-'irst Part of the "Trivulzio Collection," which portion of that
magnificent Milanese Library was most satisfactorily disposed of at auction in
New York for over eight thousand dollars.
The Second I'art thereof — containing many rarities from the book-shelves
of the famous " Palazzo Trivulzio," with literary treasures added from other
sources — is fully described in the following pages, and is thus arranged in five
divisions : —

The sizes of books in this catalogue are defined relatively to signatures and
according to the following page, height and inch measurements :
Maximo, over 24 inches. Minimo, below 6 inches.
Larc.k Folio, helow 24 inches and over 18 ; F01.10, below 18 and over 13 ;
Small Folio, below 13 and over II.

Small Quarto, below 8 and over 6. *
Large Octavo, below 11 and over 9 ; Octavo, below g and over 8 ; Small
Octavo and Twelvemo, below S and over 6.
These twelve designations preserve the important part of the nomenclature
formerly used, and do away wiih the old technical paper prefixes, such as
" Royal," " Foolscap," "Crown," etc.. as well as the confusing smaller sizes
of the past. These represented in all, both big and Utile, some two hundred
possible book sizes, ranging from an " Antiquarian Folio," to a " l'ot
ia8mo."
As the old specific definitions are now gradually becoming almost obsolete
this new schedule was formulated. It was wisely recognized that the present
time is inopportune for ilic measurement of books by the metric system.

Anent the current value of books printed by \ list and Schoeffer, the follow-
ing paragraph in " The Book mart " of February, 1887, is assuredly pertinent: —
" In Mr. Quaritch's last catalogue is offered at the moderate price of TWENTY-
SIX THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED AND FIFl'Y DOLLARS, a copy on
vellum of Kllst and Schoefler's Psalter of 1451), the second book printed with a
date and one of the very rarest of the earliest monuments of printing. By the
side of this incunabule the Mazarine Itible is a comparatively common book; ihis

(eleven inches by eight), old calf.
(?Cologne, Ulric Zell or John Vtldetur, circa 1460-65)
Extremkly rare. Consisting of over four hundred pages, of two columns
and thirty-eight lines to the page. The initial letters and finials are added by
hand. Over each page is written a chapter heading descriptive of the con-
tents.
The paper maker's mark is a kind of " H " or " B," with two prongs at the
top of the letter. Some pages are wormed. The volume has neither place of
printing, name of printer, nor date of issue. The types are not unlike some of
those of the first English printer William Caxton. All the biographers of
Caxton previous to William Blades, speak of Ulric Zell as his preceptor and
believe that he supplied the English mercer with his tirst types. The volume
is most probably one of the earliest works printed in Cologne by Ulric Zell,
who had been one of Schoefler's printers at Mayence. Bigmore and Wyman
write concerning Zell: — " He was an industrious printer there [at Cologne] for
more than forty years, but never printed a book in Herman, nor did he adopt
any nf the improvements of the printers of Italy, lie adhered rigidly to the
severe style of his master, Schoeffer, printing all his books from three sizes of a
rude face of a round Cothic type. Madden supposes that he went to Cologne in
1462, and was engaged by the brotherhood of the Life in Common at Weidenbach,
near that city, to assist ihem with his new art of printing in their pious task of
making books. Zcll's name appears for the first time in a book dated 1466,
which date may be accepted as indicative of the time when he left the monastery
and began to print on his own account."
The "Cologne Chronicle "of 1499 has the following: — "The origin and
progress of the art was told me verbally by the honourable master Ulric Zell, of
Hanau, state printer at Cologne, anno 1499, and by whom the said art came to
Cologne. . Moreover, the first inventor of printing has been a citizen
of Mentz, and he was bom at Straissburch, and was named Sir Johan Guden-
burch."
Leonardo de Utino, vcl I-conardus Italicus, author of the above work, was
one of the most celebrated Italian preachers of the fifteenth century. He died
about 1470. Leonardo was Prior of the Dominicans at Bologna and Provincial
of Lombard)'. He preached with great success at Venice, Milan and Rome.
His " Sermons " and '' Quadragcsimalc " are known as the " Golden." Veldcner
of Cologne printed one edition in two columns with thirty-eight lines to the
page about 1475 Ulric Zell. we know, printed another about 1472 two columns
and thirty-six lines to the page, and there were several cditiuns printed in Venice
about 1471-75 by Francis de Hailbrunand Nicolas de Frankfordia, vidt Brunet,
etc.

Excessively rare and magnificent copy with broad margins, the large
initials are added by h.ind in colors, and the small capitals throughout in red.
On the verso of the fourth leaf the initial letter "S" is illuminated by hand,
with a border in gold and colors, and at the bottom of the same page is another
large illumination with donations representing a psaltery within a wreath.
Brunei calls this an: — "Edition encore precieuse." It consists of 217
leaves, with 51 lines to the page. The colopion reads— "Anno Domini
MCCCCLXXII.." and below are the following nine lines showing that the
work was printed by Vindelin Spira: —
" R. Zouenzonius poeta: Reuerendissirao. d.

Dibdin, in his " Greek and Latin Classics." writes of this edition of Ktrabo:
" The first edition with a printed date is that of Vindelin de Spira in 1472."
This remarkable specimen is from the press of the second Typographer of
Venice, and who was the brother of the first printer there. Nearly all their
earliest works were printed like the above in Roman letter. Later they only
used the Gothic character. This copy has the following MS. memoranda on a
fly-leaf: — "Payne's sale. M. Wodhull, Mar. 26th, 1791. Hib. Instruct, No.

Excessively RARE and the first edition of the Bible printed in octavo. The
initial letters are added in red by hand, and there are a few marginalia. On the
last and first pages are some curious manuscript memoranda, etc., by former
owners. The ends are a portion of an ancient vellum MS.
"Among the eminent printers of Basle must not be unnoticed the learned
John Froben, the beauty and correctness of whose editions are highly com-
mended by Krasmus. Froben printed here the first octavo edition of the Latin
Bible in 1491. Even so late as 141)6, after that he had practiced the art of
printing during five or six yenrs, Froben, with a modesty unusual among those
of his trade, simply calls himself 'artis impressoriae studiosum.' It must never
be forgotten that to the press of Froben at Basle we are indebted for the first
published edition of the original Greek of the New Testament, which appeared
in the year 1516, edited by Erasmus. It is true that the Complutensian edition
bears an earlier date (1514). but the caution of the Tope would not suffer it to
be made public until 1522."— Cotton.

Excessively rare and very early edition of this curious work, splendidly
primed in Gothic types. The above is a tine copy with the exception of being
slightly wormed, the blank portion of the last leaf being torn off, some borders
cut into by the bookbinder's plough and one of the last named torn. It came
from the (Jalwick Library, and has the inserted heraldic book plate of that col-
lection.
The Bibliotheca Spenceriana contains only the subsequent edition of 1506.
which is inferior in beautv and interest to the present one. This singular " Uni-
versal History." blending sacred with profane events and extending from the
Creation to the year 1500. is a translation of the " Kudimcnta Novitorum " of
John Colonna or John Columna, made by a canon of Mello, in Beauvoisis It
is remarkable for its numerous and spirited woodcuts, and its popularity is
attested by the numerous editions put forth during the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries.

Capitula Fridbergensis Ad. Bibliothecam." There are numerous woodcuts,
some full-page and very curious, also title with borders and printer's mark.
There are also borders around every page. Concerning Lyons editions of the
Bible Brunet writes: — "On pcut voir par cettc souscri|>tion et par celles de
cinq autres editions de la Bible impr. dans la meme ville en 1518, 1520. 1521 et
1522. que le celcbre imprimeur de Nuremberg a cu plusieurs fois recours aux
presses lyonnaiscs et nous remarquons meme qu'apres avoir employe l'atelier de
Sacon pour ses editions de 1 516, et 15 1 S il se sert de celui de Jean Marion pour
les deux edit, faites en 1520 l une a la date de 19 aout, l'autre a la date du 12

1 52 1, i! a de nouveau recours a Jac. Sacon, et de meme pour I'edition du 15

les derniers dates que nous venons dc donner appliquent plutfit a des irages par
ticulicrs d'une meme edition, qu'a des editions vtritablement distinctes."
Cotton refers as follows to Luther's copy of this edition of the Bible : — " In
1521 an edition of the Latin Vulgate Hible was printed at Lyons, a curious
copy of which is mentioned by Fortia in his ' Travels in Sweden.' as being in
the royal library of Stockholm; it is the copy used by Luther, and the margin
and every part which could be written on is covered with notes in that Re-
former's handwriting."

" The work of Peter Lombard, which afterwards constituted the great text-
book of the scholastic theologians, and which established to that writer the title
of ' The Master," or ' The Master of the Sentences,' was exactly such an ex-
position of Christian doctrine as we might have expected from that conflict
between reason and authority which existed in the Latin Church" . . [it]
"was regarded with the highest veneration as the precious depository of the

Doctoris Muriados Libri Tres. Small 4to, embroidered

Venice, impressus per Bernardino de Vitalibus, 1537
Extremely rare. This most interesting volume is the dedication copy to
Francis tiie First, King of France. In the centre of the old blue velvet bind-
ing are embroidered the royal lilies of France within a shield. Above is. the
regal crown. The borders on each side of the cover are also embroidered with
goldthread. The color of the velvet approaches in shade the allegid new
tint known as electric blue. The precious stones in the crown are woven in
by colored silks. The volume, which is an admirable example of the Venetian
press is printed in Italic types, with commentary on the margins. The edges
are slightly gauffered. This volume was presented to the King ten years
before his death at Kambouillet in 1547.
Another writer says : — " It is not difficult to estimate the character of this
monarch. Gay and voluptuous (it was the physical consequences of an amour
which cost him his life), he was still capable of heroic impulses and acts of
splendid generosily. But no amount of chivalry could compensate for the
lack of political sagacity ; it could not even save him from acts of cruelty. His
persecution of the Vaudois and other 'heretics' has left a dark stain on his
memory which all his patronage of arts and letters will not efface. Francis
was himself a writer of verses ; but these were so bad that even French critics
pronounce them almost intolerable."

Very rare, with the heraldic book plate of James F.lwyn Millard, D.D..
inserted. This is a good sound copy of this early and rare edition of one of
the most popular medieval works. The initial letters are large and floriated
and the illustrative woodcuts are evidently the production of more than one
artist. Ceo. A. Leavitt & Co. sold a MS. copy of this work on vellum for
several hundred dollars at the Dorman sale. Among the episodes narrated
iu this volume by the author of the "Decameron" are some of the most
horrible and terrifying in history. Boccaccio exhibits and wallows here in a
very carnival of blood and torture — murder and suicide — rapine and rack — dis-
embowelling and gibbeting— war and waste— in fact, everything that could
tend to make one quiver with horror. Many of the incidents are, however,
very pathetic, and the loves of troubadour and " fayre ladye " are sometimes
told, but generally with a tragical finale.

edition was printed in 155S, though some copies have 1559 m the title."
This work has been called a component of " Shakespeare's Library." Roscoe
says: — "Shakespeare's liveliest vein in his ' Merry Wives of Windsor' and
' Merchant of Venice ' may be traced to the rich mine of incident contained in
this famous Novelist," that Giovanni gave this work to the world a few years
after the death of Boccaccio, and it is very much in the style of that great
writer. It consists of fifty short novels, which are supposed to be told in
twenty-five days in the parlor of a convent by a young chaplain to a nun. Each
story winds up with a love song.

the age of eighteen, but after introducing great disorders into the monastery
where he lived, he finally emitted it, in company with a very beautiful girl in his
own station of life, and they, for sewral years, traveled about together. He
has long had the credit of being the inventor of the " Macaronic" Poetry— a
mixture of Latin, Italian and the Mantuan dialect. He frequently recounts his
own adventures, and, says the " Riographie Univcrselle" — " Sous cette enveloppe
bouffnnnc- on trouvc des pensees et des maximes d'un grand sens, des traits
satiriques sur les grands, sur la vanite des litres, &c, et ces traits originaux et

After 1578, we are lokl — " his life was that of a hanger-on to the Court of
Henry III. of France — a weak nnti narrow-minded king, but a patron of liter-
ature and art. The rest of the life of this eminent printer is a very painful one
to recount. .... He was seized by his last malady at Lyons and died in the
public hospital there. He was interred in the common cemetery, near the
Hotel Dieu, and a detachment of the burgher guard was obliged to turn out to
protect the funeral from the violence of the Catholic mob. This was at the end
of January, 1598 — not the beginning of March, as the old biographers say.
Henry's books are divided into three classes:— Editions of the classics, original
writings on the (Jreek and l.atin languages, and writings on the French lan-
guage. He used as a device the olive-tree adopted by his father."

" Vathek." It had previously belonged to Chancellor de Thou and has the
monogram of himself and wife Marie Brabancon on the back. It also has the
implied shields and monograms of De Thou and Marie Brabancon stamped in
gold on the sides. The back is somewhat rubbed. The woodcuts in this
volume depict with startling vividness the most terrible and diabolical tortures
that human malignity could conceive. Were it not for their value from an his-
torical point of view, the cuts would be repulsive bv their horriii realism ami the
fiendish ideas conveyed.

by a channel below the Isthmus of Panama.

Timperlcy, partly quoting Ottley, records under the year 1493:- " The 'Chron-
icle of Nuremburg,' illustrated with more than two thousand woodcuts, reckon-
ing (how that are given more than once over, was published and embellished
by Michael Wohlgemuth, a celebrated engraver and painter. It professes to
furnish figures ' from the beginning of the world,' and contains views of Scrip,
ture hislories and of cities and scenery, the latter bearing scarcely any resem-
blance to the places mentioned. Michael Wohlgemuth was born at Niiremburg
in 1435. and died in 1 5 1 1>. He is thought to have invented etching; but the
chief honor of Wohlgemuth is that of his having been tutor to Albert Dnrer,
the most celebrated artist in the annals of engraving. His mark is " M. W.' or
' W.' only.
" It appears to have been the ancient practice of those masters who furnished
designs for the wood engravers to work from, carefully to avoid all cross hatch-
ings, which it is probable, were considered as beyond the power of xylographists
to represent. Wohlgemuth perceived that, though difficult, this was not impos-
sible; and in the cuts to the ' Nuremburg Chronicle,' the execution of which,
besides furnishing the designs, he doubtless superintended, a successful attempt
was first made to imitate the bold hatchings of a pen-drawing, crossing each
other, as occasion prompted the designer, in various directions. To him belongs
the praise of having been the first who duly appreciated the powers of this art;
and it is more than probable that he proved with his own hand, to the subordi-
nate artists employed under him the practicability of that style of workmanship
which he had acquired."

The Franciscans gloried in Duns Scotus. as their rivals, the Dominicans, ex-
tolled St. Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas was the more orthodox, and Scotus was
at least semi-pelagian. Scotists and Thomists divided the medieval schools,
and the former, as being realists, were opposed to the Occamists, who were
nominalists, or held that universal terms were simply names, and not the signs
of actual existence. Nothing, it is said of Duns Scotus, was so dark but he
was able to enlighten it, nothing so enigmatic but, like another tKdipus, he was
able to resolve it.

considered satisfactory evidence of there having been a noble Milanese family
of Trivulzio. When the previous portion of the Trivulzio manuscripts was sold
last year, a sapient American bibliopole asserted that the family of Trivulzio
was evoluled out of the inner consciousness of the bibliographer who compiled
the catalogue.

to the Ambrosian use was written as stated in the above title by an ecclesiastic
of the name of Antonio de Roccius. It is full of the curious musical score of
the Fifteenth century in which the notes are given on one line only and are much
intermixed. Preceding the first page on which is a fine miniature of " King
David " and handsome floriated border, somewhat rubbed, is the " Te Deum.
The other large initial letters heightened with gold are handsome examples of
Fifteenth century work. The book has seen active service in the choir where it
belonged, many of the pages having been torn and worn by use into the text.
Three or four pages have apparently been cut out and the calendar after the
month of August is lacking. There is a manuscript index of the Psalms on

Unique original manuscript on vellum and presentation copy to the
famous Pontiff Leo the Tenth, one of the greatest members of the House of De
Medici. The handsome illuminated gold border on the first page of the poem
takes up the whole of the margin of the inside and a portion of the upper page.
The large initial letter " Q. " beginning the text is rubbed, but the magnificent
coat-of-arms of the Pontiff and its accompanying floriated borders are in ad-
mirable condition. Above the shield which bears the six balls of the De Medici
on a golden ground is the papal tiara and behind it are the crossed keys of St.
Peter. The first page of the book itself has these words in gold upon a red
ground — " I.eoni Decimo Pont. Max Andreas Daxius." Above the word " Ar-
gumentum," likewise in gold on a colored ground, is the date " Pridie Kl.
Aprilis, MDXV." At the end of the Argument which extols the Pope and the
House of De Medici are these three lines : —
" Andree Daxij Sylua cui titulue
Virbius. in leonis decimi pontificie
Maximi laudem enarrata."
In the margins are many MS. notes explanatory of the persons referred to in
the poem and which were not unlikely wrilten by ihc great Pope himself. The
Marquis Carlo Trivulzio has written a note of Seven lines on the cover. From
it we discover that Andrea Dazzi was a Florentine poet and orator, that the

to the greatest men who had ever preceded him. He winds up by styling the

Unique ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT. At the commencement of the volume, the
Marquis Carlo Trivulzio has written four pages of interesting information rela-
tive to the work and its author, whom he shows was Hertucci Gabrielli cf a
noble Venetian house ' whose arms — " or a fesse checquey azure and or " held
by two cherubs will be found on the first page of the manuscript, as well as a
portrait within the opening initial letter. The memoranda of the Marquis are
signed at the end—" Carlo Trivulzi quesso di 13 Maggio 1773 in Milano." The
colophon of the vellum manuscript reads — " Ciuita quests opera in Cataro adi
XV del Mense dj Decembrio MCCCCLXX." Three leaves are restored by the
addition of new vellum at the bottoms and some are slightly wormed.
'I his finely and carefully written manuscript, with wide margins, tells the
story of the taking of Negroponte in the Egean Sea by the Turks in 1470 and
from the Venetians who came into possession of it in 1204, when it was known
by its ancient name of Euboea. The author's description is couched in lan-
guage showing the deep humiliation the Christian world felt at the loss of one
of its strongholds to the Moslems.

Unique, original and beautifully illuminated " Hours " of the Fif-
teenth century. This choice example of Italian illumination was finished, as
the colophon tells us, on the 27th of May, 1446. The page miniatures, which
are elegantly illuminated in gold and colors, are : — [. " The Annunciation " —
with God the Kather and a cherub on each side of Ilim sending the Holy Ghost
to the Virgin, a curious example; If. " The Crucifixion " — with the Virgin Mary
and St. John on the sides of the Crucified Savior — this miniature is fastened on:
HI " The Youthful David " — holding his sling in one hand and the head of
Goliath in the other — he is standing on the dead giant. The live page borders
with miniatures are of — I. ''Madonna and Child," and in the border of the
same page is another miniature of an angel within a wreath; II. " Ecce Homo"
— border rubbed; HI. "A Calvary Cross"; IV. "Pallida Mors" — skeleton
head and bust — this border is mended and finished by a later hand; V. " David
with I'scdtery " — the border similarly mended, the thirteen small capitals are ele-
gant examples of illumination in gold and colors with dependent floriated work.
The calendar, which is complete, has the initial letters " K. L.'' at the com-
mencement illuminated in gold with blue floriated scroll work. One hundred
and sixty pages have fine blue and red pen ornamental borders on one side,
which are always united with an illuminated capital with similar ornamentation,
some with burnished gold. Some pages are blurred and stained, but the Missal
is a very beautiful example of fine Italian work, notwithstanding these minor
imperfections.

second page is a miniature some four and a half by five and a half inches repre-
senting — The Adoration of the Infant Savior by St. Joseph, the Virgin and a
Shepherd." In the background are a walled city, water and mountains. On

and a quarter, exhibiting St. Ambrose seated on his archiepiscopal throne and
before him six media;val persons. The saint, with one hand upraised, is in the
attitude of benediction, and the other holds a crozicr. Two of those kneeling

atures are of crimson and gold, and although of Italian workmanship, somewhat
resemble later Spanish illumination. There is one capital in green and red. and
the other capitals in red arc adorned with pen scroll-work Towards the end are
some pages in Italian and others like the rest of the work are in Latin. These

There is a small pamphlet printed at Milan in 1740 on the inside of the back
cover, and facing it are some eleven lines written by the Marquis Carlo Tri-
vulzio in reference to a print with the " Madonna, Child, St. Ambrose and St.
John the Baptist," by Bergognani, which is pasted in the book. Although
soiled by use and a little stained in a few places, this is a good example of
Milanese Fifteenth century manuscript.
SPLENDID FIFTEENTH CENTURY CODEX OF VIRGIL, ON
VELLUM.
'44 fttS.— VIRGILIUS, OPERA. A fine early codex of one
hundred and ninety-three leaves (386 pages) of vellum, with
seventeen illuminated capitals in colors heightened with gold
and many smaller capitals in red and blue. 4to ( 1 o.{ inches by
7&), old sheep. S/EC. XV.
UNIQUE ORIGINAL VELLUM MANUsCRIIT of Italian workmanship, with hand
some interlaced initials of the Renaissance style in colors and burnished gold.
The first has a few gold donations on the side, but is restored. Each line
throughout the entire bonk begins with a capital letter, so that the first letters
form a vertical line. The margins are wide and the vellum is of fine quality.
There are some MS. marginalia. The last leaf is mended at the bottom, some
margins are torn and a few pages are wormed.
This antedates the first edition of Virgil, which was printed in 1460 at Rome
by Sweynheym and Pannartz. Ucloc in his " Anecdotes of Literature " writes,
respecting a copy of an early edition of Virgil which was discovered in a Sua-
bian monastery, whence it found its way into the collection of Lord Spencer, as
follows: — " The anecdote which belongs to it is rather ludicrous. The good
old monks to whom this and other valuable books belonged were not to be pre-
vailed upon In money to part with 11 ll h ap pened, howewr, that the) were
remarkably fond of old hock; and for as much of this same hock as was worth
seven I'.nglish guineas, they paned wiili this Virgil to a kind friend and acquaint-
ance. This gentleman sold it again to an English dealer in books for £50. and
doubtless believed that he had turned his hock to a good account. ' I have
nevertheless heard.' adds Mr. B. . ' that the nobleman above alluded to did not
obtain possession of this literary treasure for a less sum than ,£400.' "
Query. If a printed edition of Virgil was worth $2.0 >o nearly a century
ago, what should an illuminated codex of Virgil on vellum, written by hand
before the invention of printing, be worth to-day ?

are worm-eaten, a few are imperfect by incision, and others seem lacking.
Carlo Trivulzio has written a history of this Missal on a sheet of paper which
faces the first page of the calendar, and he shows by internal evidence that the
volume was written about the year 1450, The Marquis's note is signed " C.T.
10 Julio 1754." The Hreviary was doubtless written by some scribe of the
Order of St. Francis, which was founded in 1208, At the first general assembly
of the Franciscans, who were also known as Minorites, or Lesser Brethren,
5,000 members were present, and 500 were claimants for admission. In less
than half a century after organization the Order had increased to 200,000 souls,
who made their homes in 8, 000 Conventual houses. As a Literary Order the
Franciscans have ranked very high. Duns Scotus was their greatest author,
and he was followed in theological science by St lionaventure, Alexander de
Hales. Ockham. Roger Bacon and Cardinal Ximenas. Popes Nicholas IV.. Alex-
ander V. , Sextus IV. , and Clement X 1 V. , as well as the celebrated Lope da Vega,
all wore at one period of their lives the brown tunic of coarse woollen cloth,
girt with a hempen cord.

work, but on the last pagd his real name and the date of his finishing the manu-
SCr A? t . is .S iven . namely;— " Lavs Deo. P. Milanum Burrum, 1444."
1 his is an exceptionally fine example of manuscript and does honor to this
celebrated author and scribe, whose penmanship is so much sought after in
Europe but few libraries having anything by him. The vellum is of the finest
quality, and the first page is a magnificent example of medieval Italian painting.
The borders around it are composed on two sides of foliage and donation —
among which is the pomegranate— in colors, heightened with gold. At the top
of the page are the letters " I. H. C." surmounted by a ducal crown. In the
centre of the bottom of the page is an armorial shield, upon the helmet of which
is the crest of a woman holding in her hands the legend " Sic necesse est." On
one side of the crest are the letters " I. O." and on the other the letter " M,"
above which is a ducal crown. A Cupid is plowing on the left of the emblems,
etc., just described, and another to the right has a heavy basket on his back.
The large initial letter commencing the text bears the same motto as that
which accompanies the crest. The two large initial letters at the commencement
of the second and third portions of the book are glorious specimens of burnished
gold and colors, At the beginning of the volume are two quarto pages in the
handwriting of Carlo Trivulzio, who goes thoroughly into the authorship as well
as the ownership of the work. In them he refers to the ancient Dukes of Milan,
and particularly to Giovanno Maria Visconti and Giovanni Galeazo Maria
bforza, the first-named of whom was succeeded by his brother, 1 Filippo Maria
Visconti, who was the last of the Dukes of Milan of his house, and was suc-

older than that just named, and states that a copy of it is in the " Kibliotheca

This, however, is the original manuscript, from which these, the only editions
known, were printed. It was executed for Lorenzo El Magnifico, 1'rince of
Florence, son of Piero de Medici and grandson of Cosmo de Medici. He is
best known to us through the celebrated work of Roscoe. Lorenzo the
Magnificent was born in 1448 and died in 1492. He was highly distinguished
as a patron of art and literature, founded at Florence an Academy for the study
of the aniique, and expended large sums in the erection of public edifices
and in the collection of libraries. He also attained considerable eminence as a
poet.

virtue and piety, was born at Arona in 1538. He was a nephew of I'ope Tins
TV., by whom he was made a Cardinal and Archbishop of Milan in 1560. He
devoted himself to reforming the morals of the clergy and providing charitable
institutions for the poor. During the prevalence of the plague at Milan in 1576,
he gave his personal attendance to the sick at the risk of his life and spent all he
possessed in administering to their wants. He died in 1584 reverenced as a s:iint
and martyr. He was canonized in 1610 by Pope Paul V. He was the author of
several theological works and an exposition of the doctrines of the Catholic
church, entitled • ' Catechismus Tridentinus," or the Catechism of the Council
of Trent.

This glorious Fifteenth century manuscript is one of the richest ancient
heraldic manuscripts extant. The blazon is here given of all the knights of
King Arthur's court, many of whom were not mere legendary personages, but
Z° m . whom some °f the most distingushed British families yet claim descent.
Clothing in the shape of armorial emblazonment of such quantity and quality
has ever been offered for sale in the United States. There are nearly one
hundred and fifty of these most carefully executed shields, crests, supporters,
and mottos which are delineated in a most spirited manner in colors and metals.
I hey include the arms of Sir Lancelot, Sir Galahad, and all those other lords
and knights whom we find described in English in the pages of Sir Thomas
Mallory, first printed by Caxton in 1485, and made popular to us in these days
by the genius of Alfred Tennyson. As a manuscript, the volume has great
merit, with its broad margins and bold script. A few leaves are mended most
carefully by the original illuminator, where the skin was cut slightly through the

I his manuscript consists of more than a mere heraldic codex. The history
and exploits of the Chevaliers are given at length. It is the original French
text of one of the romances from which Sir Thomas Mallory compiled his cele-
brated " Morte d' Arthur," which Sir Walter Scott entitled— " the best prose
romance the language can boast." The first literary work of the Trouveres is
the versified romance of the fabulous history—" of the early kings of England,
beginning with Brutus, the grandson of Aincas, who, after passing many en-
chanted isles, at length establishes himself in England, where he finds King
Arthur, the chivalric institution of the Round Table, and the enchanter, Merlin,
one of the most popular personages of the Middle Ages. Out of this legend
arose some of the boldest creations of the human fancy. The word romance,
now synonymous with fictitious composition, originally meant only a work in
tne modern dialect, as distinguished from the scholastic Latin; there is little
uoubt that these tales were originally believed to be strictly true. One of the
nrst romances of chivalry was 'Tristam de Lconois.' written in nqo. This
was soon followed by that of the' San Graal' and 'Lancelot.'" Mrs. Anne

ginative, spirited or pathetic, and their history is important as illustrating
meaixval manners and customs, and for their connection with early English
literature. Among the oldest of these romances is ' Havelok,' relating to the

those that celebrate the glory and fall of ' King Arthur and the Knights of

been the same with that of the events narrated. First, comes the romance of
the baint Uraal, relating the history of this sacred relic which was carried by
Joseph oi Anthmea, or his descendants, into Britain, where it vanished for
ages trom the eyes of sinful men. Second, the romance of ' Merlin.' which
derives Us name from the fiend-born proohet and magician, celebrates the birth

and exploits of Arthur, and the gathering around him of the ' Knights of the
Round Table' The historic origin of this story is from Geoffrey of Monmoulh,
though it is disguised by its supernatural and chivalrous features. In the third
romance, that of Lancelot, the hero nourished by the Lady of the Lake in her
fairy realm beneath the waters, grows up the bravest champion of chivalry,
admired for all his virtues, although guilty of treachery to Arthur, and from his
guilt is to ensue the destruction of the land. Fourth, the ' Quest of the Saint
Graal,' relates the solitary wanderings of the knights in this search, and how
the adventure is at length achieved by Sir Gallahad, who. while the vision passes
before him, prays that he may no longer live, and is immediately taken away
from a world of calamity and sin. Fifth, the ' Mort Artus.' or the 1 Death of
Arthur.' winds up with supernatural horrors, the tale into which the fall of the
ancient Britons had been transformed. Arthur, wounded and dying, is carried
by the fairy of the lake to the enchanted Isle of Avalon, there to dream away
the ages that must elapse before his return to reign over the perfected world of
chivalry. Sixth, the 'Adventures of Tristan), or Tristan, is a repetition of
those which had been attributed to Launcelot of the Lake. These six romances
of the British Cycle, the originals of all others, were written in the latter half of
the twelfth century for the English Court and nobles, some of them at the
suggestion of King Henry II. Although composed in French, the authors
were Englishmen, and from these prose romances, the poets of France con-
structed many metrical romances, which in the Fifteenth century, reappeared as
English metrical romances.*'
All authorities unite in accepting the fact that the source of these British
legends, which were as popular on the Continent of Europe as in England, were
derived from the lays of the Welsh bards. They are supposed to have been
sung by them as early as the sixth and seventh centuries, although no Arthurian
manuscript is extant of older date than the twelfth centnry. Nennius, and the
so-called Armoric collections of Walter, Archdeacon of Oxford, first narrates
the marvellous and supernatural elements which enter into later accounts of the
Hound Table and its sworn Knights. Geoffrey of Monmouth professed to
translate the last named, and his work apparently gave birth to a multitude
of fiction which came to be considered as quasi historical traditions. From
these, exaggerated by each succeeding age, and recast by each narrator, sprang
the famous metrical romances of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, first in
French and afterwards in English, from which modern notions of Arthur are
derived. In these his habitual residence is at Caerleon, on the Usk, in Wales,
where, with his beautiful wife, Guinevere, he lives in splendid state, surrounded
by hundreds of knights and beautiful ladies, who serve as patterns of valor,
breeding, and grace to all the world, Twelve knights, the bravest of the throng,
form the centre of this retinue, and sit with the king at a round table, the
" Knights of the Round Table." From the court of King Arthur, knights go
forth to all countries in search of adventure — to protect women, chastise oppres
sors. liberate the enchanted, enchain giants and malicious dwarfs, is their
knightly mission.

black and red Gothic script on vellum with broad margins,
with fifteen full-page miniatures with very broad borders
and illuminated capitals underneath, thirty-eight smaller
miniatures with broad borders and numerous illuminated cap-
itals and finials in gold and colors. 4to (8| inches by 6),
bound in blue velvet, red silk watered ends, gilt edges.
Sjec. XV.
Unique original manuscript on vei.lum of very line quality, with broad
margins and probably executed for one of the royal family of France, as in one
of the beautifully painted borders are introduced golden fleurs-de-lys on a
blue ground. It subsequently belonged to " Ant. Moriau Procureur et
Avocat du Roi et de la Ville." His heraldic " ex libris" is on the first and last
pages of the manuscript. This very choice and desirable specimen, which is
beautifully painted and illuminated in the style of Anne de Hretagne, has the
calendar complete, the saints' names, etc., being given in old French.
The rich beauty of the coloring has a freshness and clearness only to be seen
in the finest royal or princely manuscripts. The exquisite ornamentations in
the borders, which number over fifty, are the work of a French artist. They
represent flowers, fruits, birds, including peacock, blackbird, swan, duck, etc.;
various quadrupeds, such as monkeys, etc.; insects, etc.
The fifty three miniatures are quaintly conceived and exhibit the careful artistic
technique of a master of the brush in the shading, landscapes and physiognomi-
cal characteristics, in the details of the various paintings, which are: — I. "St.
John at Patmos"; II. "St. Luke"; III. "St. Matthew"; IV. "St. Mark";
j. "The Arrest of Christ "—very curious, Judas is kissing the cheek of the
Savior and St. I'eter has just cut off the ear of the high priest's servant, the
soldiers are in medieval red and gold armor and are armed with pikes, in their
midst is a naming cresset — the officer in command of the Roman troops is
turbaned, Jerusalem is seen in the distance; VI. "The Annunciation" — in the
border to this painting are a parrot, a butterfly and a zany in parti-colored robe
and fool's cap; VII. "The Visitation "—church in the background, squirrel
eating strawberry in border: VIII. " The Crucifixion "—Jerusalem in distance,

and a half inches, will be found at the centre of the volume. It is divided into
three sections, the first of which is surmounted by some castellated buildings;

of each red square being a white dot. The second division gives us three fig-
ures holding legend scrolls. They are habited in Fourteenth century costume;
two have crowns on their heads. The background to this division is a heavy

stigmata on His hands and feet. He is in the attitude of benediction. Two
fingers of one hand are upraised and in the other hand lie holds a staff. 011 the
top of which is a large Maltese cross. He faces a curious delineation of the
mouth of hell representing the head of an animal with fiery eyes and mane, in
whose wide open mouth are standing five or six stark naked souls, and who can-
not escape, owing to the cross bars which hold them prisoners. The diapering
on the background is lozenge shaped— gold and white fieur-de-lys on a blue
ground constituting this very handsome division of the painting, the margins of
which are decorated on three sides with red, blue, white and gold ornamentation
and floriation.

Unique illuminated Hours, printed on vellum by the Hardouyns. This
beautiful volume, which is so charmingly illuminated that it has the appearance
of one of the finest vellum manuscript Hours, has a magnificent page illumina-
tion of the arms of Claude Bayard—" sable and semee of fleur-de-lys, a griffin
rampant argent, beaked and clawed or." Around this escutcheon of arms hangs
from the branch of a tree a golden and green wreath. On the title are the
arms of Claude Bayard impaling those of his wife— " azure, a bend or between
two mullets or. " Two cherubs support this coat of arms depending from a
tree in which another cupid is seated among the branches. Illuminated in gold
on an azure ground is the name " Clavde Baiard." The volume subsequently
belonged to Louis de Vigier and Rose de Pestils his wife, and afterwards to
Jacques de Vigier and Marguerite de Montal his wife. It contains entries of
their marriages and births of their children. It is a most desirable specimen both
of early printing on vellum and of the illuminator's art.
The richness of the coloring and gilding is remarkable. There are seventy-
seven leaves (158 pages) in all. exclusive of two blank leaves. Every page is
surrounded by a border illuminated in gold and colors. The first two and the
last are on a dark blue or purple ground. There arc thirty-one miniatures in all

two are small, including four at the beginning of calendar, and two of " _ David
and Bathsheba " in a border. There are upwards of thirteen hundred illumi-
nated initial letters. The velvet cover has been placed on the old oak boards,
three leaves are restored at the bottom and the upper edge of one is cut.

Thomas Frognall Dibditi writes as follows respecting the printers of the above
beautiful " Hours ": — "The Hardouyns, Gillet and Germain, are among the
most ancient and most respectable printers of the period we are about to visit.
Their Missals are sometimes enchanting; and their red and black, as well as the
texture of their vellum, denote the skill by which they are executed
1'hey were both unquestionably very beautiful printers, and maintained a pro-
digious traffic in the sale of devotional volumes; their productions being, upon
the whole, fully equal to those of Kerver, Pigouchet, or Vostre."

dar in Latin and French and the text in Latin, There are in all seventy one
leaves (142 pages) of printed text, also two blank leaves. Every page has a
curious engraved, floriated or arabesque border, representing scenes from the
Bible or episodes in ihe lives of the saints. Hardly any two borders are similar.
There are nine page illustrations, some having beneath them large capitals
illuminated by hand. There are other small cuts in the text and the numerous
capitals are illuminated by hand in colors. The finials are in red. blue and gold.
Many of the inscriptions under the cuts in the borders are in French. The first
and last leaves are lacking. A few pages toward the beginning and the end
are stained, and two leaves arc otherwise slightly damaged.
The calendar commences with the year 1506 and ends with 1530. Kerver
began printing " Hours" at Paris in 1497. In the year 1506 his address was —
" Rue Sain; Jaques, ad intersignium Craticuke," where he died in 1522. The
" Ileures *' printed by Kerver are far rarer than those of Vostre and the Har-
douyns. He is mostly celebrated for his grotesque borders to his " Hours,"
which are in that respect infinitely superior to those of Pigouchet, Vostre. Tory,
Verard and the other great typographers of France at the time he nourished.

Italian and Dutch, with the music. It is written on paper and was executed
for Henry II. of France and Diana of Poitiers.
The date, 1552, is inserted in a large ornamental capital at folio 145.
This volume from the fineness of the design of its binding, and the interest of
its original ownership, is one of the most important examples of its kind that
has ever occurred for sale. It was purchased at the sale of M. Leopold Double
in 1863 for five thousand two hundred and fifty francs, and thus cost its late
owner, with " les frais," about twelve hundred and fifty dollars. In addition
to its acquired historical interest, the book is of considerable importance in itself
in regard to the history of music, on account of its table of contents which
gives the names of various French composers of the Sixteenth Century, among
whom will be found — Phil, de Wildre, Cresquillon, Ch. Chastelain, Ciprian
de Rose and Anthoine Gaily.
The heraldic "ex tibris*' of the celebrated bibliophile. M. Double, will be
found on the front inside cover, where arc the following MS. notes in his hand-
writing— " Voir la date de 1552, page 145, p. 9,7. hyrnne par Charles VIII., p,

This marvellously beautiful and original French binding, of a semi-Maiob,
semi-Grolicr style was doubtless designed for King Henri II. by " Le Petit
Bernard." The sides and back are painted and inlaid in colored enamels and
Lathers mosaiced and gilt. Both the front and back sides are covered with
green, floriated, conventional. Gothic ornament, and an intersecting design in
black and white, the parallel lines of which are pointille in the centres. The
middle of the fore side has a large heraldic and allegorical design of circular
shape, in the centre thereof is a shield of the royal arms of France, above
which is a regal crown. Depending from the upper portion of the shield arc
a collar o{ " SS " and cockle shells, from which also hangs the jewel of the
Order o( St. Louis. Amid silver pointille ornamentation are — the mongrams
" H. D." interlaced, three silver half moons, a large crescent silver moon,
allusive to the chaste goddess Diana, and the king's initial "H" twice
repeated. On the back, in the middle of a circle and upon a square scroll is
the word " Bassvs." The back is enameled in black and white and tooled in
gilt. The design is lozenge-shaped, chequered, There are, also, four floriated
ornaments and running across the entire back. These are in black and gilt.
The edges are as fine a specimen of gauffered work as can be found in any
collection. It is a floriated and interlaced design, pointille throughout.
The illustration above of this glorious example of binding is fac-similed from
plate XI. in Joseph Cundall's "Bookbindings, Ancient and Modern." It is
there styled — " Recueils de Chansons ct Motetts, with the Arms and Mono-
grams of Henri II. and Diana of Poitiers. Binding of the Middle of the XVI.
Century," and is presented in that authority as a representative example of a
Diane de Poitiers reliure. The eminent bibliopegist, Cundall, writes: Diana
of Poitiers, the mistress of Henri II. of France, devoted much attention to the
binding of her books; perhaps those executed for her are the finest specimens
ever produced; probably they were designed by ' Le Petit Uemard ' (Bernhard
Salomon of Lyons) who also made drawings for her jewels. They were usually
engraved with a bow and crescent, sometimes with an arrow rising from a tomb
with the motto ' Sola vivil in illo.' On the love offerings from the king an ' H ■
is worked in with a crown and fleur-de-lis. The practice of inscribing mottoes
on books was very usual. There is a beautiful book mentioned in Dibdin's
' Decameron.' which was published by Aldus. It is bound in fine Italian olive
binding with the device of a serpent entwining a ring and a motto 1 Scilicet es
superis labor est,' On many of Henry's own books arc stamped and interwoven
the initials ' H ' and ' D,' of his own and mistress's names, with crescents,
bows, quivers, and other symbols of the chase, appropriated to a lady bearing
the name of Diana. (Many of the ornaments on the pottery of Oiron known
as Faience de Henri II. were evidently stamped with bookbinder's tools.) On
some of his books the ' H ' is interwoven with a ' C,' and in this case, the latter
nitial is that of his wife, Catherine de Mcdicis. There are few bindings of the

early part of Henry's reign which have his medallion in the centre. '1 his
stamps them, in all probability, of Italian work. The marks upon books form
a subject of some difficulty. Even those who are well versed in heraldry, will,
if they are not also versed in bibliography, make great mistakes in deci- *
pherin'g them. Some writers still maintain that the ' D ' spoken of above, on 1
the books of Henry II., as representing ' Diana,' is really meant for two ' Cs,
representing ' Catherine.' ...
" Diana possessed a splendid library at the Chateau of Anet. At her death it
was preserved, its treasures, however, being unknown. In 1723, when the Trin-
cess de Conde. to whom Anet belonged, died, the books were put up to auction.
Their description attracted amateurs, amongst others. Monsieur de Sardieres,
son of Madame Guyon. He bought several volumes at this sale, as was seen
in 1759. when, after his death, his books were sold. In the catalogue the
librarian, Barrois, did not forget to mention which volumes came from Anet.
We find from his catalogue that many of the magnificent books which Henry
II. had inherited from his predecessors he gave to Diana. Amongst others, J
she thus became possessed of the ' Bible Ystoriaux, ' of Guyart des Moulins.
presented to King John, and upon the fly-leaf of which was written, ' A moi ■
Jehan rov.' This valuable book passed to the library of the Due de Berry, and
was thence restored to the royal library, until Henry II. gave it to Diana of
Poitiers. She also possessed the beautiful manuscript on vellum containing the
first four decades of ' Titus Livius,' translated by Pierre Bercheux, prior of St.
Eloi, Paris, the binding of which is somewhat eccentric. In the centre of the
boards is placed the scutcheon of Charles de Bourbon in bronze relief, and his
monogram, also in bronze, at the eight corners, the book having fiist belonged
to him. In 1555, Denis Sauvage, Seigneur du Parq, published two folio
volumes at Lyons, being a translation of the ' Histories of Paolo Jovio. He
had a copy bound for the king, with his bust engraved in gold on a medallion at
each corner, with ' Ex vote publico, 1552.' placed round each. This book
passed at once into the possession of Diana of Poitiers at Anet. where M. de
Sardieres discovered and bought it. In M. Cigongne's library there is a Psalter
stamped with Diana's arms, and having chased and gilt edges. Books of the j
most varied description were to be found at Anet ; side by side, for instance, I
are copies of ' Saint Basil' and ' Saint Epiphanius,' bound in lemon morocco,
with Diana's arms, silver clasps and knobs, and profane works such as three
collections of ' Chansons ct Motetts.' (See illustration.)"
Diane de Poitiers made use of other emblems than those tooled on this his-
toric volume. Mrs. Burv Pallisser says, that in memory of her deceased j
husband, the amorous Diane—" bore an arrow entwined with green branches,
and issuing from a tomb, upon which lay a cross. Motto. ' Sola vivit in illo,
'She lives only in him,' expressive of the constancy of her love: but Paradin
gives the motto a higher signification, rendering it, ' Alone on that she lives
«.<■., in the hope of a glorious resurrection. On the walls of the chateau of
Anet was the device of an arrow, with the motto, ' Consequitur modcunque
petit.' ' She attains whatever she seeks.' There is a medal of Diane having on 1
the obverse, her bust, and on the reverse, she is represented trampling Cupid
under her feet, with the motto, ' Omnium victorem vici,' ' 1 have conquered the
conqueror of all.' ''
Diana of Poitiers was born in 1479 and became a widow in 1531. Not long
after she gained the affection of the second son of Francis the First, who in
1547 ascended the throne as Henry II. The above volume was therefore given
to her five years after her lover became a king and made her Duchesse of Valeti-
tinois and granted to her the Comte de Valentinois in Dauphiny for life. Diana
obtained a complete ascendancy over the king, who allowed her to exercise royal
power and to control even the foreign policy of his government. De Thou, in
his " Historia Sui Temporis," attributes to her all the misfortunes of Henrys
reign, and the persecutions of the Huguenots. By her grace and talents, she ,
retained her influence over her lover until his tragic death in 1559.
Diana died seven years afterwards, in 1 ;6f>. One of the best accounts of her j
will be found in the " Femmes Gallantes " of Brantomc, a proper place for a
woman who only obtained a niche in history through her amours.

who envied his rise and fortune — "tarn breves Populi Romani amores. ' But
I shall say no more of his ministry and what was the pretence of his fall, than
that we have lived to see great revolutions. The buffoons, p irasites. pimps and
concubines » ho supplanted him at Court came to nothing not long after and were
as little pitied. 'Tis something yet too early to publish the names of his
delators for fear of one's teeth. Hut time will speak truth, and sure 1 am the
event has made it good. Things were infinitely worse managed since his

consisting of one hundred and forty- five leaves ( 290 pages) of
Anglo-Norman Gothic script, with eight illuminated capitals
in gold and colors, thirty capitals in colors finished with ink
scroll work, and numerous smaller colored capitals throughout
the text. Minimo (over inches by 2%), purple morocco,
blind tooled beveled sides, gilt edges. Sjec. XIII.
UNIQUE original MANt.'SCRIlT on vellum, and of very ancient date, having
been written in the same century that King John and the Barons signed Magna
Charta at Runnymeade.
Outside of its legal and historical character, this manuscript is of extreme
interest from a paleographical standpoint, as we have here script and illumina-
tions over six hundred years old!
The initial letters are of great beauty, considering the period in which they
were executed. In one is a coat of arms— " azure, an eagle displayed argent.
In another is a shield charged with " a lion rampant," and in various portions
of the volume are marginalia. At the end is a contemporaneous index of the
various chapters or sections of Magna Charta, and following are pages in very
early, but not as well written script.
This historic nugget of literature and jurisprudence is most probably one of
those copies which was executed shortly after the signing of the famous charter
and which was sent to the Cathedra] Churches of England with the order that it
be read publicly twite a year. The Lincoln Cathedral copy, which was executed
about the same date as this codex, is in sheets; but this is as described in book
form. The Lincoln copy is regarded as the most accurate and complete, having
the solemn ratifications required by the barons both from Kings John and Henry
III. The fac simile of it was engraved by the order of the Record Commission.
The Great Charter and Charter of the 1'orests are printed with English trans-
lations, and prefixed to the edition of the Statutes of the realm, also published
by the Record Commissioners. The codex now for sale is simply the text and
necessarily does not include the signatures which were affixed afterwards.
This number is one of the most interesting historical manuscripts in this col-

lection, representing as it does — "the basis of English liberties The
oppressions and exactions of a tyrannical and dastardly sovereign called into
existence a confederacy of the barons or tenants in-chief of the crown, who took
up arms for the redress of their grievances. Their demand was lor the restora-
tion of the laws of Henry I. ; laws which might probably be characterized as an
engrafting of Norman feudalism on the ' ancient custom of England ' or pre-
viously existing Saxon and Danish free institutions, in which * ancient custom
were comprehended the laws of Edward the Confessor. . . . John signed and
sealed the charter with great solemnity on June i, 1215. The great Charter
reared up a barrier against the abuse of the royal prerogative by a series of pro-
visions for the protection of the rights and obligations of the feudal proprietor,
ft redressed a variety of grievances connected with feudal tenures, some of
them now so long obsolete as to be with difficulty intelligible. The liberties of
the cities of London and other towns, burghs and ports are declared inviolable.
Freedom of commerce is guaranteed to foreign merchants. Justice is no lunger
to be sold, denied or delayed. The Court of Common l J leas, instead of as
formerly following the king's person in all his progresses, is to be permanently
fixed at Westminster ; assizes are to be held in the several counties and annual
circuits are established. Regulations are made for the efficiency of the inferior
courts of justice. The protection of life, liberty and property from arbitrary
spoliation is the most important feature of the charter. ' No freeman shall be
taken or imprisoned, or be disseised of his freehold or liberties, or free cus-
toms, or otherwise be damaged, nor will we pass upon him, nor send upon him,
but by lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land ' — a provision
which recognized a popular tribunal as a check on the official judges and may be
looked on as the foundation of the writ of Habeas Corpus. No one is to be
condemned on rumors or suspicions, but only on the evidence of witnesses."

Ephraim the Syrian, the eminent ecclesiastical writer, flourished in the fourth
century. He adopted the conventual life at an early age and devoted the whole
of his existence to the literary work which gives him so distinguished a place
among the early patrologists. He was one of the most bitter enemies of
Arianism and carried on a continuous warfare with both voice and pen against
it. He was considered a prophet during his lifetime. " His sermons or homilies
and treatises are of an exegetic, dogmatic and ascetic nature. Photius records
that he wrote more than a thousand such sermons; Sozomenos speaks of ' 300
myriads.' . . . Both the praise and the blame which have been indiscriminately
bestowed upon him as a writer are exaggerated. His chief merit lies in the
glowing fervor and the deep piety which he infused into all he wrote, more par-
ticularly into his clegaic hymns. Diction and form are poetical throughout, and
when not soaring into the infinite, of no mean beauty. The effect is heightened
by the matchless simplicity and awing grandeur of theSyriac idiom."

dc M. Voltaire a M. de Cidiville Consr. du Pari, du Rouen prouve que M. de
Voltaire a cent de sa main le Manuscrit de la Vic de Moliere. M. de Cidevillc
s'etonnert du soin qu'il y avaie mis et de la beaute de la copie. M. de Voltaire
lui en fit cadeau. Ce manuscrit a la mort de M. de Ciddiville a ete recueilli par
M. Dornay son confrere, prete par M. Dornay a M. Noel qui m'en a fait
1'homage tandis que J'etatis tresor de Rouen."
Hallam writes of Moliere : — " In the more appropriate merits of comedy, in
just and forcible delineation of character, skillful contrivance of circumstances
and humorous dialogue, we must award him the prire. . . . Shakespeare had
the greater genius, but perhaps Moliere has Written the best comedies. '
Lord Brougham, in his " Lives of Men of Letters and Science," thus speaks
of Molicre's biographer, whose very hand wrote the beautiful script of the above
number : — " The homage of every class and of every rank was tendered to him;
and it seemed as if one universal feeling prevailed — the desire of having it here-
after to say, ' I saw Voltaire.' His carnage was drawn by the populace, who
were inspired with ihe wildest enthusiasm. At the theatre his bust was crowned
with laurels and garlands of roses, amid the shouts and tears of the audience.
He exclaimed, ' Vou will make me die with pleasure; you will stifle me with
roses.' "

ST. AUGUSTINE'S CONFESSIONS-A FIFTEENTH CEN-
TURY LATIN CODEX ON VELLUM.
««2 i«S.-SANCTI AUREL1J AUGUSTINI EPISCOPI
CONFESSIONES, consisting of one hundred and twenty-
nine haves (258 pages) of carefully written Gothic script in
black and red and in Latin on excellent vellum, with an illu-
minated capital in gold and colors, thirteen large capitals in
colors, two on the first page with full border, and the rest
with borders at the sides. Thick 4to (8J inches by 6^),
fine old stamped calf on original wooden sides, beveled
sides with rounded corners, brass clasps. Site. XV.
Unique original vellum manuscript, with two columns to the page and
on white vellum. There are some marginalia. A few leaves are holed and
mended and one capital is rubbed slightly.
The influence of St. Augustine's literary labors has been felt for over 1500
years, lie compacted the truths of the Christian religion into a system, with a
logic, the severity of which is relieved by the glow of his eloquence and the fer-
vor of his piety. His ''Confessions " arc as much read to-day as they were in
medievalism, and both Protestants and Catholics unite in honoring this wonder-
ful book, of whose author Villemain says : — "Of all the Fathers of the Latin
Church, St. Augustine manifested the most imagination in theology, the most
eloquence, and even sensibility in scholasticism.
LOMBARDIAN MISSAL OF THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY,
WITH ILLUMINATED MINIATURES.
183 JH S. — MISS ALE ROMANUMCUM CALENDARIO,
consisting of four hundred and two leaves {804 pages) of red
and black Gothic script, with three illuminated miniatures
within capitals and with page borders, two large colored capi-
tals with colored borders, thirteen hundred and sixty- five
capitals with red and violet ink pen scroll work, and thou-
sands of other capitals with pen colored scroll work. Thick
4to {io| inches by 7}), bound in red plush, with leather
joints. Site. XV.
Uniquk original manuscript of early Fifteenth century Italian execution,
and measuring fully three inches in thickness. This grand Latin missal is a
splendid specimen, and the vellum is of superior quality. The text is written in
a clear, bold hand, and is rubricated throughout. The thousands upon thou-
sands of initials arc most admirably drawn, and the scroll work which decorates
them exhibits the best characteristics of the illuminational school of Lombardy.
The opening page following the calendar has the sacred letter^ "J. II. S." in
black and gold. A large initial letter has within it a figure of our Savior show-
ing the stigmata and holding a torch downwards. At the bottom of the page
is a heraldic shield— " on a chief or an eagle displayed sable in base azure two
crossed jambes. or." the last named being finished at the top with a three-quar-
ter cross. The whole pige is >urrounded by a bold (iothic border in gold and
colors, and on the right hand side is a kneeling tonsured ecclesiastic holding in
his hand a berelta. lie is habited in black and is overshadowed by a tree in
blossom. On folio CCVII. are two other initial letters with a border. The
upper one, which is heightened with gold, depicts the Savior rising from the
tomb. Me is in his grave clothes and shows the stigmata. One hand is in the
attitude of benediction and the other holds a banner, displaying '■ argent, a

cross gules." A very fine miniature of St. Bernard is on folio CCCXL. This
is painted within the letter " D," heightened with gold. The Saint is in a white
robe. His head is surrounded with a wide golden nimbus, and in one hand he
holds a red covered chained book, and in the other a golden crozier. On the
last blank page is written in a Seventeenth century hand a l,atin devotional
hymn of eight lines. Two of the paintings are slightly rubbed.
MAGNIFICENTLY ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT CODEX
OF FIRDUSI'S "EPIC OF KINGS"— WITH FORTY-
FIVE LARGE PAINTINGS AND FOUR SUPERB HEAD-
INGS-PAINTED AND DECORATED IN THE MOST
SUPERB STYLE OF PERSIAN PALEOGRAPHY.
184 fttS.— FIRDUSI, SHAH NAM AH, consisting of six
hundred and thirty leaves ( 1 260 pages) of paper in Persian
characters and in four columns separated by crimson and
green lines, with the headings written in red on gold, some of
lozenge shape, with forty- five large paintings, some taking up
a/most the entire page and illuminated in gold, iilrer and
colors, and with four magnificent decorations above the various
books of the " Epic" Thick folio (14J inches by S|), mo-
rocco, in a loose Persian raw silk cover.
Unique original manuscript of exceeding beauty and being an early
codex of Firdusi, the Persian Homer's " Epic of Kings," and which has been
popularized among English speaking peoples by the spirited translation of Helen
Zimmcrn.
The most noticeable features of this manuscript of the original text are the
remarkably well executed miniatures depicting the events narrated in the poem
and which in some respects remind one greatly of the miniature painiing of early
European manuscripts— the gloss on the paper assisting the illusion of the gen-
eral vellum appearance of the volume. The physiognomies of the personages
of the Epic are wondrously executed and would greatly interest an admirer of
Lavatcr. Tin- brilliant tints and the metal effects of the gold and silver used
in these large paintings, which number forty-five, prove the incontestable value
in the world of art of the Oriental illuminators. Curious as the pers|>eetive is of
many, yet there is a snggestiveness and bold character in these paintings which
show that Europe and Asia were not so very far apart a few centuric> ago in
.-esthetics. Many inferior miniatures are to be found in monastic missals produced
by the skill of the enthusiasts who labored in the " scriptoria " during the Middle
Ages. Among these miniature;, may be noticed the following which give a gen-
eral idea of the remainder of the subjects depicted: — " Kudabah gives Birth to
Kustem "; " The Interference of the Simurgh *'; ' ' Slaying of the White Demon
by the Hero Rustem "; " K'aus cherished by four ravens, his ascent to the sky
and his pleasure thereat " ; *' Fight between Rustem and his Son"; "Recital
of the Capture of the Khahau i Chin, Emperor of China, by the las-o of
Rustem "; " Slaughter of the Simurgh by Isfandiyar at the fifth table "; " Cap-
ture of the Khahau i Chin, Emperor of China"; and " Arrival of a Messenger
from Sheroinh to Shirin, giving her the Tidings of the Death of Khrusru l'arvez
her father."
Nothing more beautiful in the domain of polychromatic decoration can be
imagined than the glorious and beautiful headings to the varr 'us books of this
manuscript. They partake of all the oriental splendor and glorious combinations
of colors so familiar to those who are acquainted with the examples of Persian
and Moresque ornamentation in gold and colors given by Racinet and Owen
Jones in their works. The treatment of these four headings, all of which arc
equally delightful, is somewhat different in the details and any one poring over
this volume with their eyis reveling in the delights of these triumphs of the Per-

sian illuminator's art, can almost picture mentally the whole romance of the
Alhambra. the narrations of the "Arabian Nights ' ami the wonders of Moslem
Persia, Egypt and Hindostan.
The transcriber of this codex of the Shah Namah has written the following
verses at the end of the manuscript, which have been thus translated: —
" When I began (the transcription) of this (World) renowned poem, the earth
became as it were filled with "language. Henceforth I reck not of my life, for
I have accomplished the sowing of the seed of my speech. All that have dili-
gence and wisdom and religion will repeat a rcquiescat over me after my death.
A thousand, aye, and two thousand salutations from me to Mahommed upon whom
be peace! All is ended and my worlt. my work is fulfilled! .... The
fourth volume of the Book of the Shah Namah, composed by Firdusi (upon whom
be peace), was completed at the command of the Emir of Emirs Shah Kinnat (?)
(may rest be upon him!), by the hand of Babah Khalil Ullah on the eleventh
day of the month Ramzau, the blessed in the year one thousand and two hundred
and sixty."
" The first of Persian poets, the Homer of his country, is Abdul Kasim Man-
sur, called Kirdusi or ' l'aradise,' from the exquisite beauty of his compositions.
He flourished in the reign of the Shah Mahmud, 940-1020 A. D. Mahmud
commissioned him to write in his faultless verse a history of the monarchs of
Persia, promising that for every thousand couplets he should receive a thousand
pieces of gold. For thirty years he studied and labored on his epic poem, ' the
Shah Namah ' or Book of Kings, and when it was completed he sent a copy of
it, exquisitely written, to the Sultan who received it coldly, and treated the work
of the aged poet with contempt. Disappointed at the ingratitude of the Shah ,
Firdusi wrote some satirical lines, which soon reached the ear of Mahmud. who,
piqued and offended at the freedom of the poet, ordered sixty thousand small
pieces of money to be sent to him, instead of the gold which he had promised.
Firdusi was in the public bath when the money was given to him. and his rage
and amazement exceeded all bounds when he found himself thus insulted. He
distributed the paltry sum among the attendants of the bath and the slaves who
brought it.
" He soon after avenged himself by writing a satire, full of stinging invective,
which he caused to be transmitted to the favorite Vizier who had instigated the
Sultan against him. It was carefully sealed up, with directions that it should
be read to Mahmud on some occasion when his mind was perturbed with affairs
of state, and his temper ruffled, as it was a poem likely to afford him entertain-
ment. Firdusi having thus prepared his vengeance, quitted the ungrateful
court without leave-taking, and was at a safe distance when news reached him
that his lines had fully answered their intended purpose. Mahmud had heard
and trembled, and loo late discovered that he had ruined his own reputation for-
ever. After the satire had been read by Shah Mahmud, the poet sought shelter
in the court of the Caliph of Bagdad, in whose honor he added a thousand
couplets to the poem of the Shah Namah, and who rewarded him with the sixty
thousand gold pieces which had been withheld by Mahmud Meantime Firdusi's
poem of Yussuf and his magnificent verses on several subjects, had received the
fame they deserved. Shah Mahmud's late remorse awoke. Thinking by a tardy
act of liberality to repair his former meanness, he dispatched to the author of
1 Shah Namah ' the sixty thousand pieces he had promised, a robe of state, and
many expressions of friendship and admiration, requesting his return and pro-
fessing great sorrow for the past. But when the message arrived. Firdusi was
dead, and his family devoted the whole sum to the benevolent purpose he had
intended, the erection of public buildings and the general improvement of his
native village, Tus. He died at the age of eighty. The 1 Shah Namah' con-
tains the history of the Kings of Persia down to the death of the last of the
Sassanide race, who was deprived of his kingdom by the invasion of the Arabs
during the caliphat of Omar, 636 A. D. The language of Firdusi may be con-
sidered as the purest specimen of the ancient Parsee. Arabic words arc seldom
introduced. There arc many episodes in the ' Shah Namah ' of great beauty,
and the power and elegance of its verse are unrivaled." — Botta.

" Rules of the Order of St. Benedict " and was executed for the use of an
Italian conventual house. St. Benedict composed these monastic rules in the
year of our era 515. His aim was to repress the irregular and occasionally licen-
tious life of nomadic monks, by introducing stricter discipline and order. The
" Regula " eventually became the common rule of all western monachism. The
Conventual houses which St Benedict founded were simply religious colleges,
intended to develop a high spit itual character. By his injunction of copying
manuscripts for the library, the Saint helped to preserve many of the literary
remains of antiquity; for this mandate, which he gave only with regard to reli-
gious books, was extended afterwards to many secular productions,
St. Gregory the Great described his brother Saint as "scienter nesciens et
sapienter indoctus," learnedly ignorant and wisely unlearned.

Montesinos was a native of Ossuna, in Spain. He twice went to Peru as
Royal Visitor, and resided there nearly lifteen years, traveling all over the
country. Father Rodriguez, in his " Histoire du Maragnon," describes
Montesinos as " Hisioriador Dilligentisimo " adding that no one had a better
knowledge of Peruvian antiquities. In the first part of his work "Memorias
Antiguas" Montesinos begins the history of Peru four thousand years before our
era, and carries it down to the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus.
The second part, the "Anales," contains the history of Peru from the year
■493 to 1546. As to the treatise relating to Ophir, which Pinelo attributes to
him with the date of 1530, that composes the first book of "Memorias

MAGNIFICENT SERIES OF GRAND WORKS ON ORNI-
THOLOGY AND NATURAL HISTORY BY THE LATE
JOHN GOULD, F.R.S., F.Z.S.— ALL THE PLATES COL-
ORED BY HAND, AND IN SPLENDIDLY HAND-CARVED
OAK CABINET.
IT HAS BEEN UNIVERSALLY ACKNOWLEDGED BY NATURAL-
ISTS THAT THE ORNITHOLOGICAL WORKS OF THE LA TE MR.
GOULD STAND AT THE VERY HEAD OF THEIR CLASS, whether
as regards the Accuracy of their Drawing, or the Beauty and Correct-
ness of Til kir Coloring ; to say nothing of the scientific and interesting char-
acter of the Descriptions.
ANOTHER GREAT CHARM OF MR. GOULD'S PRODUCTIONS —
one which from their commencement brought them into high popularity — and
one which will ever secure for them the favor of all classes, whether scientific
or not — is the unequalled skill displayed in the Attitudes, Groupings, Move-
ments and Accessories of the Birds. In these animated pictures we indeed
look upon them "in their habits as they lived" — seeing not one. but in most
cases both the Male and Female in various attitudes, sometimes sitting,
sometimes on the wing ; as well as the Trees which form their homes, and the
Plants, Flowers and Insects upon which they feed. In the Work on
" Humming Birds," the number and variety of the Orchids introduced are
additional attractions.
200 GOULD (John). AMERICAN, BRITISH AND ASI-
ATIC ORNITHOLOGY AND AUSTRALIAN NAT-
URAL HISTORY, 1. f..:—
I. — GOULD. A Monograph of thf. Odontophorir*,
or Partridges of America (with Copious Descriptions).
Illustrated with 32 plates, colored by hand.
London, published by the Author, 1850
Dedicated to Prince Charles Lucien Bonaparte. Published at j£S 8s. un-
bound. Sotheran's present price for the above in half morocco is £\o 10s.,
;'. $52.50.
" This.'' says Mr. GOULD, " the result of twenty years' investigation of the

THE TRIVUL'/.IO CATALOGUE.
subject, is perhaps the most perfect as well as the most important of the Au-
thor's Ornithological Monographs."
He further says : ' ' The interest which attaches to this work is threefold.
First, it displays, even to the most unpracticed eye, the broad distinction which
subsists between the Partridges of America and those of Europe ; secondly,
the species are all remarkable for the elegance of their forms and for the chaste
beauty of their coloring ; and thirdly, at no distant date these birds will be
regarded in America, as our partridges in Europe are, as game, and perhaps
preserved by law — their flesh being as delicate for the table as that of our ordi-
nary bird, from which, however, they differ considerably in the structure of the
beak, and in general habits and economy."
With regard to the COLORING of the plates, some have supposed that it has
been produced by a mechanical process or by chromo-lithography. So far from
this being the case, every sky, with its varied tints, and every feather of each
bird, has been colored under the most careful superintendence, by hand.
The artists and colorers employed by Mr. Gould worked under the immediate
direction of Mr. W. Hart, the celebrated English water colorist and painter of
birds, who has also supervised the volume recently completed and issued for the
first time in 1887.
It is well to call attention here to the fact that upon the death of the late
John Gould, the whole of the copyrights and stock of his published works, the
copyrights and manuscripts of his unpublished works, his correspondence, etc.,
etc., were purchased by Henry Sotheran and Co., of London and Manchester,
for some £60,000, I, t., $300,000. Their price in London for a set of thirty-
seven volumes of Gould's works (exclusive of the " Hirds of New Guinea and
the Papuan Islands," hve volumes, and " Supplement to the Humming liirds")
is £1,000, 1. e., $5,000. This docs not include the U. S. duty of 25 per cent,
on those volumes which have been published within the last twenty years. Such
a set includes : — " Hirds of Europe," with 449 colored plates, 5 volumes ;
" Birds of Australia," with the " Supplement," 681 colored plates, 8 volumes ;
" Mammals of Australia," with 180 colored plates, 3 volumes ; " A Century of
Birds from the Himalayan Mountains," with 80 colored plates, I volume ;
"Birds of Great Britain," with 367 colored plates, 5 volumes : " Trochilida;,
or Humming Birds," with 360 colored plates, 5 volumes ; " Kamphastida.*, or
Family of Toucons," with 52 colored plates, 1 volume; " Trogonida.', or Family
of Trogons," with 50 colored plates, 1 volume; " Odontophorina;, or Par-
tridges of America," with 32 colored plates, I volume; " Birds of Asia," with
nearly 500 colored plates, 7 volumes. These are published in unison with each
other, in imperial folio size, with the plates and descriptions in the same style, so
as to form in themselves a regular series. The publishers have lately stated that
very few copies of any of Mr. Gould's earlier works remain for sale, and that
they cannot be reproduced.
II. GOULD. A Monograph of the Ramphastim:, or
Family of Toucans (with Copious Descriptions). Illus-
trated with 51 plates, COLORED by hand.
London, published by the Author, 1854
Second and enlarged edition, with all the plates re-drawn. Dedicated to
Professor Teniminck, of Leyden. Sotheran's present price for the above in
half morocco is £12 12s., i, t., $63.
The Toucans form a most curious and interesting group of American birds,
and Mr. Gould has illustrated the different species in his usual splendid manner.
When we mention that all the plates were executed by his late wife, we need
add nothing to recommend them.
" An edition of this work," says the author, " was published in 1834; but the
extensive researches since carried on among the great Andean ranges of South
America having led to the discovery of many additional and beautiful species

so
belonging to this extraordinary group of birds, a revision of the work not only
became necessary, but an entirely new edition was deemed imperative; and
accordingly one. with the whole of the former plates re-drawn, was pub-
lished."
The Toucans (family A'amphastida) constitute a group of birds confined to
the tropical portions of America. They are at once to be distinguished by the
enormous size of their bills, by the feathered character of their long and slender
tongue, by the parrot-like arrangement of the toes (covered with broad plates),
which are formed as close graspers; by a broad naked space around the eye,
and by the richness and strong contrasts of the coloring of their plumage.
III. GOULD. A Monograph of the Trogonid* or
Family of Trogons (with Copious Descriptions). Illus-
trated until 47 plates, colored by hand.
London, published by the Author, 1875
Second and enlarged edition, dedicated to the Duke of Argyll. Solheran's
present price in London for the above in half morocco is £12 I2S., L t.,
which does not include the U. S. duty of twenty-five per cent.
Mr. Could has illustrated this work in the most beautiful manner, giving
examples of the male and female of each species of the .natural size, each
bird being exhibited in the full display of its gorgeous coloring. Anent this sec-
ond edition Mr. Could wrote: —
"The same reasons which induced the author to publish a new edition of the
Monograph of the Ramphastida; also rendered another edition of this Mono-
graph desirable; accordingly the present one has been prepared, comprising all
the New Species, and information acquired respecting this family of birdsduring
the last twenty-five years."
" The Trogons may dispute the palm of beauty with the Humming Birds.
Their plumage in certain parts shines with metallic brilliancy, and exhibits all
the colors of the rainbow. —GRIFFITH'S Edition of Cuvier.
IV. GOULD. A Monograph of the Trochilid^, or
Humming Birds (with Copious Descriptions). Illustrated
with 360 plates, colored by hand; and comprising about
1 ,000 representations of those charming birds. 5 vols.
London, published by the Author, 1S61
Published at £,7%. 15s., unbound, i. <., nearly $395. Rev. II. \V. Beecher's
copy sold a few weeks ago in New York for over $600.
This is undoubtedly the most universally attractive of all Mr. Gould's publi-
cations. He himself thus speaks of it: " Having from an early period devoted
myself to the study of these beautiful birds, and acquired a most valuable and
extensive collection of a group peculiar to America and its adjacent islands, I
determined upon publishing a monograph of a family unequalled for the gor-
geous and ever-changing brilliancy of their hues, the variety of their form, the
singularity of their habits, and the extent of their territorial distribution."
" Altogether we consider this publication to be Mr. Gould's magnum opus;
and we strongly recommend all who can afford the cost to possess themselves of
the work." — C. R. W. (in Fritters Magazine).
" As winged gems of unsurpassed glory do humming birds claim our admira-
tion. On them the great Creator has bestowed the gift of rare and wondrous
beauty, clothing them in colors that can only be rivalled by Emeralds and
Rubies, Topazes and Sapphires." — Fraser's Magazine.
V. GOULD. Supplement to a Monograph of the
Trochilid.*, or Family of Humming Birds, by JOHN
GOULD, F.R.S. Completed after the Author's
THE TRIVULZIO CATALOGUE.
Death by R. BOWDLER SHARPE, F.L.S., ktc,
Zoological Department, British Museum. Illustrated
with 59 plates, colored by hand.
London, Henry Sotheran &■* Co., 1887.
Published at ^£"15.1 5s. , unbound in 5 parts as issued, i. <•., $73-75, exclusive
of 25 per cent. U . S. duty.
Mr. R. Bowdler Sharpe, the erudite editor of this volume, states in his
preface: —
" It fell to my lot, on Mr. Gould's death, to complete the present work, to-
gether with the others left unfinished at the time of his decease. The plates
for this ' Supplement ' were nearly all drawn during the lifetime of Mr. Gould;
to these 1 have added certain others as representing species well worthy of
illustration, the specimens having been lent to me by Mr. Osbert Salvin. It
will be noticed that a large number of species are included in the present 'Supple-
ment ' without the accompanying plates. Whether it was the intention of Mr.
Could to have enumerated these in the work I know not; but as he originally
meant to complete the ' Supplement ' in four parts, I fancy that he would only
have figured the most striking of the species described since the completion of
the ' Monograph.' I have, however, endeavored to conclude in this supplemen-
tary volume descriptions of all the species of Trochilidcc discovered since 1S61,
when the ' Monograph ' was finished; and this course will, I trust, commend
itself to ornithologists. My thanks are due to Messrs. Soihernn for allow ing me
thus to render the work as complete as possible, notwithstanding the pecuniary
loss involved by such a proceeding. It is scarcely necessary for me to record
here my obligations to Mr. Elliot's admirable ' Synopsis of the Humming
Birds,' as the pages of this book reveal how much I have been indebted to his
volume; and to Mr. Salvin I owe the deepest acknowledgement for his advice
in planning the present work, and for having supervised the proofs of each Part.

VI. GOULD. The Birds of Asia (with Copious Descrip-
tions), Dedicated to the Honourable East India
Company. Illustrated with 530 plates, colored by hand.
7 vols. London, published by the Author, 1 850-83
This was completed under the superintendence of Mr. Bowdler Sharpe, of
the British Museum. Sol heran's price in London for the above in half morocco
is ^120, i. e., $600, which does not include the U. S. duty of twenty-live per
cent. The present publishers stale that as very few complete sets can be made
up, it will be advisable for purchasers to make early application for them; more
especially as they will, before long, become as scarce and valuable as Mr. Gould's
other works.
'• To no portion of the globe," says the author, " does there attach so much
interest as to that vast extent of the Old World which we designate Asia. It is
there that all the productions of Nature essential to the well-being of man occur
in the greatest abundance. . . . That the zoology, then, of such a country
should have called forth the notice and study of able minds cannot be surprising;
and yet it is remarkable that no one has attempted a work comprehending a gen-
eral history of its ornithology. This hiatus in Ornithological literature has been
tilled up by the present work on ' The Birds of Asia.'"
" The later works of Mr. Gould have been distinguished for the exquisite
finish of the illustrations, but none is so remarkable in this respect as ' The
Birds of Asia.' Drawn with all the fidelity which characterixes his earliest pro-

ductions, the birds represented in this work may be seen in the romantic beauty
of their native haunts, and many of the bright-hued flowers of the East will be
found figured in these magnificent illustrations." — Naturt.
VII. GOULD. The Mammals of Australia (with
Copious Descriptions). Illustrated with 180 plates,
COLORED BY HAND. 3 Vols.
London, published by the Author, 1863
Sotheran's price for the above is^42, i. r., $210. This work was dedicated
to the late I'rince Consort.
The author's visit to Australia had enabled him to procure so much valuable
information respecting the habits and economy, and many new species, of the
singular and interesting Mammalia of that country, that he determined upon
publishing a work on the subject.
" In this work, the animals themselves are not only figured, but portraits of
them from life are delineated, of which we cannot but notice one of I.andseerian
vigour — the physiognomy of the Tasmanian wolf. In the publication of such
a work Mr. Gould confesses that he has departed from his original purpose of
confining himself wholly to Ornithology, and owns that, with such profusion of
materials at his command, he was tempted to overstep his self-assigned limits.
The scientific world ought to be grateful to him for having yielded to a tempta-
tion which, contrary to the normal rule, is productive of good." — The London
Times.
VIII. GOULD. The Birds of Great Britain (with
Copious Descriptions). Illustrated with 367 plates, colored
by hand. 5 vols. London, published by the Author, 187 3
Published unbound at ,£78 15s., i, r., nearly $395, exclusive of twenty-five
per cent. U. S. duty. Sotheran's present price in London is ,£75, i. t„ $375, in
half morocco.
The most complete book of reference to the ornithology of Europe and one
that should be in every Public Library, for besides being beautifully illustrated
it gives, in a concise manner, a complete description of each bird. Every
plate is a picture in itself, and the birds — admirably drawn by the author, his wife
Mrs. (lould, and Mrs. Lear — are represented in the most life-like and character-
istic attitudes, while the large sine of the work has enabled the artist to depict
almost all of the natural size. To the naturalist it is indispensable as a work
of reference, while by the collector it will be found a most handsome library
book, and one which for beauty of illustration will never be surpassed.
" No work of greater beauty will be produced than that on which John Gould,
returning in his later life to his first love, bestowed the fulness of his energy and
the acme of his artistic talent. We allude to his ' Birds of Great Britain.' The
care bestowed on the plates of this work was remarkable, the aim of the author
being to produce a picture of the birds as they appeared in their natural haunts,
and especial pains were bestowed on the young, particularly those of the Wad-
ing Birds and Natators. In this fine work most of the drawings were developed
and placed on stone by Mr. W. Hart, who also executed all the plates of the
later works." — Naturt, 1881.
IX. HANDSOME HAND-CARVED OAK CABINET
FOR THE ABOVE SET OF BOOKS AND FOR WHICH IT WAS
SPECIALLY MADE.
This splendid cabinet, which cost some two hundred dollars to make in Lon-
don, measures forty-two inches in height, seventy inches in length and twenty-
four inches in depth. There are three plate glass and lock doors to the three

departments, which are entirely separated from the inner casings that are
brought flush up to the door frames so as to expose the whole of the volumes,
the book case is made of English oak, and presents a somewhat similar appear-
ance to the illustration above this number. The carving is, however, slightly
different. At each end is a carved pillar, elegantly festooned with ivy. These
support a very heavy carved cornice, upon which is elegantly carved floriated
scroll, Tudor roses and other conventional ornamentation. Below is a fillet of
somewhat similar character. The top consists of a movable flap (hinged) and
with rests so as to form two reading-desks or portfolio stands.
All the beautiful carving is executed by hand, and the cabinet just holds the
twenty-four volumes of this valuable set of Gould's grand works.
TOGETHER 24 volumes, square large folio (21J inches by
14J). Uniformly and newly bound by Zaehnsdorff in
half dark green morocco extra gilt, cloth sides, gilt edges,
with English oak cabinet for the same.
London, 1850-87
This magnificent collection of twenty-four volumes, including oak
cabinet, will he started at an upset price of $i,50o, and will be sold
as one lot,
If no bid, however, be offered of that amount, the collection will be sold in
nine lots as laid out in the catalogue description.
"Mr. Gould has produced a series of magnificent works without a rival in
the Cabinets of Science, and the gem of every rich man's library, to which, un-
fortunately, works of such artistic beauty, from their great costliness, must
necessarily be conrined In taking a review of Mr. Gould's labours, we
cannot fail to be impressed with the benefits conferred by them on Ornithological
Science. These benefits are not merely con lined to the introduction of new
species to our knowledge, nor yet to the elucidation of points involved in doubt,
or the extrication of species or groups from a maze of confusion, — tliev also
result from the plan of the Works themselves, which constitute, as far as" they
go, a complete pictorial Museum of Ornithology, to which the student may refer
at once, and without the trouble of searching for the description of one species
in one publication, and of another in a second, and so on, before he is able to
satisfy himself as to the novelty or the contrary of the Kuropean Bird Toucan
Trogon, or the rest, under examination." — Prof. Macgillivrav.
"The works of Mr. Gould constitute a new epoch in the history of Ornithol-
ogy. The boldness of the plan on which they were executed; the number of
new species added to science, and of doubtful species cleared away from pre-
vious obscurity; the unadorned fidelity of the descriptions; the exquisite accu-
racy of the plates, in which the utmost adherence to nature is united with that
felicitous effect which stamps the artist, and proves that grace and truthfulness
may meet together. Again, Mr. Gould's Works form in themselves an Ornitho-
logical Museum, pictorial we grant, but of such a character as to obviate the
necessity of a collection of mounted specimens obtained at no trifling cost and
preserved, even where room can be afforded for them, not without the greatest
trouble Let it not be supposed that we deny great credit to others—
to writers on certain departments of Ornithology who have admirably illustrated
their subject. But from all these Mr. Gould's grand works stand out in bold
relief— they are themselves alone." " — The tendon Timts.
ORIGINAL DRAWINGS OF SELOUS, WITH PROOF BE-

of the engravings after the same (23$ inches by 17}), Proof
Impressions before Letters. Together, 42 plates.
Unique Collfxtios of the extremely spirited original pen and ink drawings
executed by the celebrated English arlist and book illustrator Selous and with
proof impressions of the same. These show the difference between two
sketches as originally executed by the artist and the change made later in de-
tails. In the engraving of "Moses and the Decalogue," the tablet is blank,
but in the original are Roman numerals thereon. The original sketch of Mr.
Selous of "Moses and the Burning Bush " has an angel depicted amid the
flames but which is left out in the engraving. The artist of these original
drawings, illustrative of the Bible, has achieved an international reputation. No
man has more popularized the writings of Uunyan and Goldsmith through the
medium of the pencil than Selous. The sale of the editions of those writers
illustrated by him and which were published in parts for popular distribution
was as large in America as in Great Britain.

illumination on vellum in gold and colors, Gothic Text ik
red, sold and blue, with four capital letters and broad
border, illuminate J. Small 8vo. (74 by in fine old
frame, with glass. . S^ec. XVI.
UNIQUE vellum manuscript of the Sixteenth century. It consists of the
text of a Papal Indulgence of the celebrated Pontiff Ugo Buoncompagni,
Gregory XIII., who succeeded Pius V. in 1572 and is celebrated as the founder
of the (iregorian College at Rome and as the reformer of the Julian Calendar,
which resulted in the " New Style," as it is called, being generally adopted.
This illumination is surrounded by a border an inch in width on three sides,
and over half an inch on the fourth. The illuminated work within this border
represents flowers, insects and birds, including the peacock, peahen and
pheasant. These rest on red and white scroll work, upon which also stands a
grotesque figure, half bird, half animal. At the bottom is a landscape, with a
church and buildings in the distance. Two of the Apostles, one praying, the
other preaching, are also depicted in the border. The text which takes up the
centre of the illumination is decorated with capital letters in colors and gold,
finials insects and flowers. It reads as follows :

QUITE SCARCE. This glorious triumph of the chromo-lithographic art is one
of the best works produced by the celebrated Parisian bibliopolist Curmer. He
has united examples of almost every school of Ktiropean medieval illumination
and from the Sixth to the Fifteenth century as well as any quantity of wood-en-
gravings from ancjent manuscripts and printed books, among the last named
of which arethe Hours ok Vostre and Kervkr, and illustrations of the "Dance
of Death," etc., by Seebald Beyham, Hans Holbein, etc. There are also por-
traits of the presumed authors of the Imitation of Christ. There are also
examples from oriental manuscripts. But Curmer's edition of the " Imitation "
must be recognized above all as a grand art work illustrative of paleography
and the reproduction in the best style of chromolithograph) - ever accomplished
in the wonderful borders and page plates illustrative of the 1626 l'aris edition,
which was chosen by M. Curmer for its text. The page colored illustrations
that are executed in gold, colors and metals include portraits of Anne of Brit-
tany, Louis XIV. and other grand designs, notably those on the false title, the
dedication and the other titles. The borders which are around every page of the
first volume described aie marvelous in their workmanship and include example*
as stated, from the Sixth to the Fifteenth century inclusive.
The grand illuminated manuscripts in the British Museum, Bibliothcque
Nationale, Musee des Souveruins and the most celebrated collections of Europe
have b^en utilized to bring together a wonderful gathering of the finest ex-
amples. Among them are fac similes from " St. Augustine's Psalter " illumi-
nated in the Sixth century, the " Kvangelists of Charlemagne," Anglo-Saxon
and Celtic manuscripts, the " Psalter of St. Louis and Blanche of Castile," the
" Hours of Anne of Brittany " and other celebrated paleographic marvels which
are exhibited in this volume so as to bring almost before the eyes at a glance
what a student in bibliophilism would take years to get an idea of except from
two or three other works which are in this division of the Trivuliio Catalogue.
The wealth of color, the gorgeousness of decoration and the beauty of minia-
ture have never been excelled. Grotesque and serious, rural and domestic,
sacred and profane subjects are intermingled in a manner that charm the eye
and delight the imagination.

scripts has, indeed, brought out the singular fact that, at a period when the fine
arts may be said to have been almost extinct in Italy and other parts of the Con-
tinent — namely, from the fifth to the end of the eighth century— a style of art
has been established, cultivated, and brought to a wonderful state of perfection
in these islands, absolutely distinct from that of all other parts of the civilized
world, and which was adopted and imitated in the schools founded on the Con-
tinent by Charlemagne, as well as in the monastic establishments founded or
visited by Anglo-Saxon and Irish missionaries, many of which subsequently
became the most famous seats of learning." — Westwood.

All the illuminated works of Mr. Shaw are of great beauty in their details.
Nearly all are extremely rare, and the above is in splendid condition. ^
The " lxjndon Spectator," in a criticism of Shaw s " Illuminated Ornaments,"
says: — " The design of this work is unique, and its execution beautiful. The
elaborate richness of decoration, and the splendor of the combinations of color
and blazonry, which render illuminated missals so curious and valuable, afford
many useful hints for embellishment in color and design."

Manuscript are variously painted, many with foliage and a mixture of grotesque
figures of men and animals, some with chivalrous subjects, and others with
domestic and rural scenes and sports. The gold used in the initial letters and
in other parts of the Manuscript is solid, and often diapered or dotted in

Alkmar lived at the end of the Fifteenth century. Kollagen asserts that

himself on the Duke <ic [uliers by writing the above as a satire on the manners

translated Anacreon better by his pencil than he could have been by words.

" He [Aretino] began to write prose and verse satires, indelicate dialogues,
heroic cantos, sonnets, comedies, besides an immense quantity of letters,
which he addressed to all the princes, great men and ladies of his lime,
sometimes flattering them or praising himself, and at others even threatening
them with the lash of his satire; and from them all he received presents, which
enabled him to lead a dissolute life. He had the impudence to style himself
' II Divino Aretino,' and boasted that he was the scourge of princes.
He died suddenly in Venice, in 1557, by overturning his chair in an immoderate
fit of laughter at hearing an indecent story of his two sisters, who led a life as
infamous as his own." — Rose.

Very rare. With inserted book-plate, coronet, arms and motto of—" Bib-
liotheque de M. Rene Amedee Choppin (de Villy).
This famous work was written by James Boileau de Despreaux, Doctor of the
Sorbonne. Grand Vicar of Paris and Canon of Saint Chapelle. An analysis of this
work will be found in the Analecta Biblion, Vol. 2, p. 316. The Abbe Uoileau
proves that voluntary flagellation was unknown among Christians during the
first ten centuries, and it is not only dangerous for health, but for morals, and
that it gave rise to the era of the Flagellants who attributed to flagellation more
virtues than the sins incurred by its use. When the Abbe Boileau was asked
why he wrote his works in Latin, he said—" It is tor fear that the Bishops do
not read me, but would persecute me."

The great fault is his indecency, a fault which seems almost inseparable from a
humorist."— Burnet.

BEST EDITION OF HUDIBRAS— HANDSOMELY BOUND.
273 BUTLER (Samuel). Hudibras, with Doctor Grey's Anno-

traits, facsimiles, engravings and vignettes on wood, by
Hogarth, also title-page on India paper. 3 vols, elegantly
bound in green morocco gilt, inside gold borders, edges
gilt by J. Mackenzie.
London, Charles and Henry Baldwyn, 1819
Rare. A splendid copy of the best edition of Hudibras, or in the exact
words of Lowndes — " best modern edition, with portraits, plates and numerous
woodcuts. " Dibdin says — "The best critical edition of this author (Butler) was
by Dr. Grey in 1 741; a performance replete with curious, interesting and accu-
rate historical and bibliographical intelligence. I rarely open this book without
rising gratified by its perusal."
Concerning Hudibras there is but one sentiment — it is universally allowed to
be the first and last poem of its kind. The learning, wit and humor certainly
stand unrivalled. Various have been the attempts to describe the two last; the
greatest English writers have tried in vain— Cowley, Barrow, Dryden, Locke,'
Addison. Pope and Congrevc, all failed in their attempts: perhaps they are more
to be felt than explained, and to be understood rather from example than pre-
cept; if any one wishes to know what wit and humor are, let him read Hudibras
with attention, be will there see them displayed in their brightest colors.

Sir Walter Scott in " Quentin Durward " thus speaks of Louis XI. and the
above work: "He [Louis] even mingled in the comic adventures of obscure
intrigue with a freedom little consistent with the habitual and guarded jealousy
of his character, and he was so fond of this species of humble gallantry that he
caused a number of its gay and licentious anecdotes to be enrolled in a collection
well known to book-collectors, in whose eyes (and the work is unfit for any other)
the right edition is very precious."

Rare and the first edition of the work published by Gaudcn immediately
after the execution of the monarch. Malcolm Laing says : " Had it appeared
a week sooner, it might have preserved the King." So great was the interest
this volume excited, that forty-seven editions— forty eight thousand copies —
were speedily absorbed. It is now generally accepted that Charles the First
was not the author of the book. Arthur, Karl of Annesley, in his copy of the
work, wrote that King Charles the Second and the Duke of York had both
assured him, that the work in question — " Was none of the said King's compil-
ing, but made by Dr. Gauden, Bishop of Chester, which 1 here insert, for the
undeceiving others in this point, by attesting so much under my hand."

The younger Crebillon, wc are told — " was a gay companion so foil of wit
and humor, and he wrote a series of licentious novels which pleased Miss Staf-
ford, a young, handsome and rich Englishwoman, so much that she came to
France and married him."
One of Crebillon 's earliest works caused the imprisonment of the author at
Vincennes, it being; claimed there were satirical concealed allusions to the Tapal
bull " Unigenitus." Cardinal de Rohan and the Duchesse de Maine.
" Crebillon (tils) was born in Paris in 1707, and died at the age of 70. It is
related that his father, who was a noted dramatist, being asked one day which
was his best production, pointed at his son and said: 'I don't know which is
my best, but there is my worst.' If his father was called the /Kschylus of France,
surely the son might be called the l'etronius. M. d'AIembert once said: 'Cre-
billon, the father, paints in the blackest colors the crimes and wickedness of man.
The son draws with delicate and just pencil the refinements and shades, and even
graces of our vices, that seductive levity which renders the French what is
called amiable, but which does not signify worthy of being loved, in short our
manners, at once frivolous and corrupt, wherein the excess of depravity com-
bines with excess of ridiculousness.' He was for a time in high repute for his
wit and gaiety, which made him a pleasant companion, and for his clever, but
licentious novels, which are best forgotten." — Cates.

" Alexander Dumas's novel of ' La Dame aux Camelias ' is well known as the
subject of the opera ' l.a Traviata,' whilst the drama, bearing the same name as
the novel, was a great success on its first appearance in Paris, brought a fortune
to its author, has been translated or remodelled in nearly every European lan-
guage, and is represented on almost every stage of the civilized world. The
novel 'The I,ady with the Camelias,' which has gone through many editions
in French, appears now newly translated, in a sumptuous dress, beautifully
printed and gorgeously illustrated. The author, though describing illicit love
and its fatal consequences, does not pretend to be an apostle of vice, but to use
his own words, ' tells an exceptional tale which would not have been worth the
trouble of writing if it had not been exceptional.' " — Translator's PREFACE.

" They (the Monks) might be disposed occasionally to recreate their minds
with subjects of a light and amusing nature; and what could be more innocent
or delightful than the stories of the Gesta Romanomm?" — Douce.
" The Gesta Romanorum in its original form is a collection of fictitious narra-
tives in Latin, compiled from oriental apologues, monkish legends, classical
tales, stories of chroniclers, popular traditions, and other sources, which it would
now be difficult and perhaps impossible to discover. Its object was undoubtedly
to furnish a scries of entertaining tales to the preachers of the day or to monastic
societies, accompanied by such allegorical forms of composition as to convey,
according to the taste of the age. information of a theological character or moral
tendency."— Madden.

"We ncd nol regret the departure of those times when modesty had no
cloak; when, like the brute, man and woman stood before each other unabashed
at their nakedness. The facility of enjoyment gave birth to satiety and disgust.
A frightful corruption of morals was the inevitable consequence of this state of
things, for excess of debauchery could alone reanimate desire, the prime mover
of enjoyment. Eternal glorv to the religion which, overturning these impure
idols into the mire, and unrofling the code of chastity before our eyes, has made
our sensations purer and our pleasures keener." — Fakis.

Rare. . A good copy of this excellent edition and with splendid impressions

William Hogarth was one of those few original and extraordinary characters
with whom it has pleased i'rovidence occasionally to bless the world, to enlighten
mankind, and to carry the arts and sciences necessary for their comfort, pleas-
ure and improvement, nearer to perfection. Moved by the impulse of genius
rather than the tuition o( man. he traveled in a path unexplored by any before
him, and which remains closed to succeeding artists, i'ossessing by early prac-
tice the knowledge of the art of engraving, he was enabled to disseminate by its
means the ingenious inventions of his mind in a manner more perfect than those
of other painters have been presented to the world, or than probably ever again
will be done, till another painter shall be his own engraver. Hogarth was one
of those great men whose works are destined to survive all the changes of taste
and all the caprices of fashon; for valuable and interesting as they would be did
they do no more than preserve a faithful picture of contemporary manners, they
are to be still more highly estimated for containing those strokes of nature and
of genuine wit that are intelligible in every country and in every age. In dignity
of subject, in grandeur of composition, in the technical beauties of execution, in
designs, in chiaro-oscuro, in exactness of imitation, in elegance and in graceful-
ness, Hogarth has b--en excelled by several; but no artist has ever yet produced
works that rival in expression and in character those of the great ethic painter-
works that will always continue to be admired in proportion to the care with
which they are studied.

Rare. La Chambre became a member of the Academic Francaise upon its
institution. He is one of the first French writers who wrote in his tialivc lan-
guage on the sciences. His work on the " Passions " was of great service in
turning the attention of people in the higher circles towards philosophical mat-
ters. The engraved titles of these two works as well as the letter-press remind
one much of Elzevirian imprints and they were probably printed bv the Elicvirs.
Both of the title-pages are of a somewhat allegorical character and the last
named, which is dedicated to Foucqnet, shows that its author held the same
views in regard to physiognomy that Lavater did.

ADMIRABLE COLLECTION OF LA FONTAINE'S WORKS-
SOME BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED— OTHERS LARGE
PAPER COPIES.
429 LA FONTAINE (Jean de). Contes et Nouvelles en Vers
de Monsieur de La Fontaine. Nouvelle Edition enri-
chie de taillc-douces. With engraved title and engravings
on copper from the designs of Romain de la Hooge. 2 vols,
in 1. Sm. Svo, vellum. Amsterdam, Henry Desbordes, 16S5
Very rare and best edition of the "Tales" of La Fontaine with the
copperplates of Remain de la Hooge, with exceptionally brilliant impressions
thereof, it being the original edition.
Brunet devotes considerable space to proving that there were three editions of
the " Cunt' s de la Fontaine " under the same date, 1&S5, and at the same place,
and says that the first is the most sought after as it contains first proofs of the
plates and is the best printed of the three. The test of the first and real original
edition when applied to the above copy, proves it to be so without doubt, it
having eleven lines of text on page 2it, Vol. I., etc.. thus showing that this
copy is correctly styled the original edition.
430 LA FONTAINE. The same. With the Romain de Hooge
engraved title and illustrations. 2 vols, small 8vo. Bound
by Riviere in crushed red levant morocco gilt, inside gold
borders, edges gilt. Amsterdam, Henry Desbordes, 16S5
Very r \re. This is the second of the original editions illustrated by the
famous designs of Romain de Hooge. It has 16 lines on page 211 of Vol, I,
and has not "' 221 " instead of 211 on the last line of the table in the third edi-
tion also issued by Desbordes in 1685.
431 LA FONTAINE. The Same. With the Romain de
Hooce engraved title and illustrations. 2 vols, in 1. Small

Rare edition of La Fontaine, with good impressions of the portrait and
numerous erotic plates by Eisen, charming head and tail pieces, etc. This is a
fair copy, with .1 few pages, however, slightly discolored.
Among the " Livres de luxe" of the Eighteenth century ihcre is one which is
a marvel and a chef d'oeuvre, an example without an equal in the richness of a
book. This work, the great monument and triumph of the " vignette," which
rises above and crowns all other illustrations of the day, it is needless to state to
all amateurs, is the Tales of La Fontaine, known as the edition of the " I'erniicn-
GhUniux," a truly royal book of the last Mecoenean financiers; one of the
grandest of the intelligent and sensual outlays of money of the reign of Louis
the Fifteenth, and an inimilablc model of gallant engraving applied to the illus-
tration of light narrative,

beautiful engravings by Cochin and others, after the spir-
ited and masterly designs of Oudry. 4 vols, square folio,
handsomely bound in fine old contemporary mottled calf
gilt, tooled, a la Df.rome, inside gold borders, edges gilt
on marble. Paris, de I frnprimeric de Charles Antoitie
Jombert, 1755-59
Large papfr copy of a very limited issue, with fine early impressions of the
C- tes. This is the original edition with Oudry 's magnificent designs. The
bedoycre copy of this work sold for 691 francs and the Montbmn for 415
francs in 1861. Since then the extremely few copies that have come upon the
market i old far higher, and it can be safely said that not one of them could
have l>ecn in finer condition as to the brilliancy of the plates and general state
than this rem.irkahly handsome number.
At the De Bure sale in 1853 1,800 francs was paid for the 277 designs which
illustrate the work. It appears that Oudry' executed the originals about 1729.
Jean Bapliste de Oudry, the eminent French painter and engraver, according
to Bryan, was born at Paris in 16SO. lie was a scholar of Nicholas Largillierc,
under whom he became an able designer and colorist. For some time he
painted historical subjects and portraits, and gave proof of considerable ability
in his picture of the " Nativity." in the church of St. \jt\x, and the " Adoration
of the Magi." in the chapel of St. Martin des Champs. lie afterwards
adopted a different branch of the art. in which he acquired considerable reputa-
tion. He painted hunting pieces and cavalcades with great success, in which
the animals are designed with correctness and spirit, and touched with facility
and vigor. There are many of his works of this description in the royal palaces
in France We have several etchings by this artist, from his own compositions,
executed in a bold and masterly style.

" Of Dore's genius, it seems almost a work of supererogation to say much.
Every one who turns over these pages will at once acknowledge the profundity
and versatility of his imagination, the brilliancy of his fancy, the power of his
pathos, the- richness of his poetry. His figures are as individualized as Sterne's
wise buffooneries. His landscape is luminous with picturesque beauty, and
radiant with local truth." — Glorge W. Thornbury.

Vkky rare. Eustache Lc Noble was distinguished as an author and notori-
ous as a forger. He was Procureur General in the Parliament at Metz. but

inclinations and refined lecheries he was condemned to incarceration in the
Chatelet and banishment. While imprisoned later in the Conciergerie he came
in contact with Gabrielle Perreau, " la belle epicicre," who became his mistress
and by whom he had several illegitimate children. His satirical dialogues on
the affairs of his time display great talent, and Bayle considered them " In-
finicment d'esprit et de lecture.'

gilt, top edge gilt. Paris, Ernest Bordin, 1845
EXCELLENT COPY of this scarce edition. Some critics have pronounced the
" Diable Boitcaux " superior to Gil Bias. ...
Sir Walter Scott says of this delightful romance — " T here is no book in exist-
ence in which so much of the human character, under all its various shades
and phases, is described in so few words, as in the ' Diable Boiteaux.' The
fancy, the lightness, the spirit and the vivacity of the enchanting pen of Le
Sage are everywhere visible. To quote examples would be to qu. >tc the work-
through almost everv page. No work has afforded a greater stock of passages,
which have been generally employed as apophthegms; or illustrations of human
nature and actions.
" If there is anything like truth in Cray s opinion, that to lie upon a couch
and read new novels was no bad idea of Paradise, how would that beatitude
be enhanced, could human genius afford us another ' Gil Bias or a ' Devil on
Two Sticks ! ' "

HANDSOME EDITION OF MONTAIGNE
473 MONTAIGNE— ESSAIS de MICHEL, SEIGNEUR de
MON TAIGNE nouvclle edition exactement pvrgee des
Defavts des precedentes, selonle vray original: Etenrichie
et augmentee aux marges du nom des Autheurs qui y sont
citez et de la Version de leurs Passages avec des Observa-
tions tres importantes et necessaires pour le soulagement
du Lecteur; ensemble la Vie de 1'Autheuret deux Tables,
1'une des Chapitres, et I'autre des principales matieres, de
beaucoup plus ample et plus utile que celles des dernieres
Editions. Two engraved portraits of Montaigne, one
inserted and by Houbrakkn, the other on false title by
Ci-ouet. Minimo, elegantly bound by Cuzin in crushed
levant morocco, rounded corners, inside gold borders,
edges gilt on marble. Amsterdam, Antlwine Michiels, 1659
Very rare and an exceedingly kine copy stamped in gold on the sides
with coronet, quartered shield and supporters. The blazon of the arms is—" first
and fourth, azure a wheat sheaf proper, second and third ermine noir." The sup
porters are — "a savage man holding a club and a lion rampant." These are
stamped on both sides of the three volumes.
Some copies of this edition are printed in three volumes like the above, but
with the imprint " Hruxelles, Francois Foppens, libraire et imprimeur." The
buffalo head cut of the Klzevirs will be found in the edition. Hrunet devotes
half a page to an argument to show that this edition was not printed by the
Elzevirs at l.eydcn, to whom it has been attributed. Whether it was or not, it
is generally recognized as the F.lzevir edition and is fully equal in beauty, with
its rubricated titles, to any works issued from their presses.
" Montaigne is the earliest classical writer in the French language, the first
whom a gentleman is ashamed not to have read. No writer of the XVlth cen-
tury has given so much delight." — Hallam.
474 MONTAIGNE. Another Copy of the Same. With pot-
trait of Montaigne by Clouet. 3 vols, minimo, bound

Fronde. She rendered several services to that faction, among which was that
of the capture of the town of Orleans. About 1670 Mademoiselle married

Rare best edition of Petronius, with the inserted heraldic book plate of
" The Right Hon'blc Robert James Lord Petre, Thorndon in Essex."
Thomas Frognall Dibdin, speaking of the Hurmann editions of 1709 and 1743.
writes — " Some years ago." says Dr. Harwood. " I read through this edition of
Petronius Arbiter, published by Hurmann at Utrecht in 1709. and can affirm it
to be one of the best edited of the Dutch classics. Burmann, by his immense
erudition and critical sagacity, hath so wonderfully illustrated this difficult
writer, that it is almost impossible for the best scholar to read Petronius in any
other edition.' According to the same authority, the curious prefer the first
edition of 1709. This, however, is not true ; the second, although esteemed
rather incorrect, contains additional notes, and excerpta from various uncon-
sulted MSS., which has always given it a precedence in price to the edition
of 1709."

Rare, and one of the finest modern editions of Rabelais, with a splendid im-

quotes copies of this edition, having sold as high as a thousand francs, notably
that of Cotte. The Labedoyere copy brought 746 francs.
"Beyond a doubt Rabelais was among the deepest as well as boldest
thinkers of his age. His buffoonery was not merely lirutus' rough stick, which
contained a rod of gold; it was necessary as an amulet against the monks and
legates. . . . The caricature of his filth and zanyism show fully he both
knew and felt the danger in which he stood, f could write a treatise in praise of the
moral elevation of Rabelais' work, which could make the church stare and the
conventicle groan, and yet would be truth and nothing but the truth. I class
Rabelais with the great creative minds of the world, Shakespeare, Dante, Cer-
vantes, etc." — S. T. Coleridge.

"Cardinal Duprat was so enamored of Rabelais' works that he was never
without a copy of them. Wherever he went, his Rabelais went with him. Car-
dinal Jean du Bellay was possessed of the same feeling; he admired Rabelais
so much, that he refused a learned individual of the day a seat at his table
because he had not read The Book, for so Rabelais' singular narrative was
called " — VentouillAc.

RESTIF DE LA BRETONNE'S WORKS-SOME ORIGINAL
EDITIONS AND HANDSOMELY BOUND.
513 RESTIF df. la BRETONNE. Les Nuits de Paris ou Le
Spectateur Nocturne. Plates. 15 vols, in 8. Small 8vo,
elegantly bound by Chambolle-Duru in red crushed
levant morocco gilt, rounded corners, inside gold borders,
edges temoins and gilt on marble.
Parish Londres, 1788-90
Very rare and limited edition, and one of the most curious of the works
of Restif. The eighth volume of this set consists of — " La Scmaine Nocturne,
Sept Nuits de Paris qui peuvent scrvir de Suite aux iii-CLXXX deja public'es.
Ouvrage servant a 1 liistoire du Jardin du Palais- Royal."
One of the strangest features of Restif's works (vult abovel is the list of all
his eccentric works then published, as well as all he calculated that he intended
to. These amounted to 777 Novels in IOOI Histories. A thorough analysis of
Restif s projected mastodon literary labors is given.
" Restif's books are now very rare; they will become more so. as they are
now sought after by the great amateurs of bibliographical curiosities. These
books contain the most interesting documents for the history of the manners of
the time. The peasants, the working men, the men of the people never had a
more faithful or more sympathetic painter than Restif de la iiretonne. His
works, in which, as in a mirror, the various aspects of French society from 1760
to 1805 arc reflected, will be monuments of the manners and morals of that
period, as the works of Petronius and Apuleius are of the Roman antiquity." —
Paul Lac&olx.
514 RESTIF de la BRETONNE. Le Menage Parisien ou
Deliee et Sotentout. 2 vols, in 1. Small 8vo, elegantly
bound by Chambolle-Duru in crushed red levant mo-
rocco, extra gilt rounded corners, broad inside gold
borders, edges gilt on marble. La Haie, 1773
Very rare. This is one of Rcstif's most fantastic works and in which, like
most of his books, he narrates the vicissitudes and amours of the members of
his own family. The dedication is " A Mes Pairs en Sotise " and commences
" Sotissimes et tres-nombreus confreres." This is signed " Je suis avec une
stupide admiration, chers Sotissimes et confreres, votre etc. Morille Dindonet."
The dedication, "epigrafe " and table is printed wholly in red. The two title-
pages and opening pages of the volumes are rubricated.
515 RESTIF de la BRETONNE. La Prevention Nationale
Action adaptee a la Scene; avec deux Variantes et les
Faits qui lut servent de base. Many plates, of a more or
less humorous character. Small 8vo, half morocco.

Very rare. At the end of the third volume are advertisements ? and notices
of the author's other works, more particularly his " Nouvel Abeilard" and " Vie

notice from the " [ournal de Paris," February 11, 1779— "Cette nouvelle pro-
duction de N. E. Retif-de la-Bretone, annonce unc imagination riche et beaucoup
de sensibilite. II a sur-tout deployc son talent dans les Modcles, ou on trouve
des morceaux de la plus grande force. . . . Nous n'hesitons pas a dire, que ' Le

With numerous plates by Freudenburg and the other illus-
trators, of the remarkable works of the author. 42 vols,
small 8vo, half calf. Leipsick, Busche., 1781-85
Vehy rark. This is one of the most curious sets of the works of Restif de
la Bretonne. To get an idea of the contents of the author's writings, one has
only to lo >k at the last pages of the forty-second volume, which also contains a
list of the author's projected volumes, many of which never saw the light. 1 he
last leaf commences: " M.iirobert: mon Ami sous les auspices de qui j ai com-
mence ses Nouvelles; tu n'es plus; miis recois 1'homage de ma reconnoissance
et de mon amitie. qui ne s'eteindra qu'avec ma vie; Je brave la rage impuissante

Confondateur et Bien-faiteur de la Maison et SocitSte' de
Sorbonne. 2 vols, in 1. Minimo, old calf gilt.
Amsterdam, Henry Desbordes, 16S8
Rare. Stamped in gold on the sides with impaled and quartered arms over
which is a ducal coronet. The authenticity of the "Political Testim-nt " of
Cardinal Richelieu is discredited by Voltaire and defended by Foncemague.
Upon the Cardinal's death in 1642, the people expressed by bonfires their joy at
his having gone to another world. Perhaps they kindled bonfires in allusion to
the place in which his soul may have taken up its abode.

Very scarce. This work by the historiographer of France is not only
interesting, but curious, as it gives the fullest account we have of those cele-
brated impostors who usurped the titles of Emperor, King or Prince.
527 ROUSSEAU (Jean Jacques). CEuvres. With portrait by
St. Aubin and plates by Moreau lf. Jeune, engraved by
Le Mire, etc. 12 vols, 4to, half morocco, gilt.

lines have been traced over. A few pages are foxed. In addition to the plates
are engraved vignette titles also by Moreau. Some pages have the musical
score as well as plates entirely of music and folded.
"Still is the impression of his [Rousseau '#] works vivid and strong. The
charm which cannot pass away is there — life breathing in dead words — the
pulses of passion, the thrillings of the frame still are there — the fresh beauty,
the undimmed lustre — these, light and vision-like as they seem, endure as mar-
ble."— Edinburgh Review.
AINT AMANT. Moise Savve, Idyle Heroiqve
dv Sievr de Saint Amant a la Serenissime

red crushed morocco gilt, edges gilt.
Leyden, 1654
Rare. This long heroic idyll, incorrectly styled an epopee, is of a different
order to the poems he wrote — ' ' durant sa jeunesse et son age mur, il hanta les
cabarets avec de joyeux compagnons, et e'est dans le vin, la bonne entire et le
bruit qu'il ecrivait ses pieces bachiques, comme 'les Cabarets,' ' La Chambre
du Debauche,' ' La Crevaille,' ' Le Fromage,' ' La Vigne,' ' Les Goinfres.'

monii Sacramento. Engraved printers mark on title. 3
vols, in 1. Thick folio, old vellum (back broken).
Antwerp, api/d Henricvm Aertssivm, 162G
Very rare. See Baylc's lone account of this very singular performance,
from one of the notes to which the following is extracted: — How odd it seems,
that these men, who would have us think them mines of chastity and inexhaust-
ible springs of modesty, should, notwithstanding, vomit up such ill humours,
such an Ili ad of impurities ! The treatise of Sanchez is a true library of Venus.
If Horace or Martial were to come again into the world, thoy would write line
odes and epigrams upon those operators who have been desirous of castrating
them. In live hundred Martials or Horaces, there is not so much room for cas-
tration as in one page of Sanchez."
The President Le Jay had search made after this book, and prohibited the
booksellers of Paris from selling it, under penalty of death.

SCARRON'S WORKS-RARE AND BEST EDITION.
532 SCARRON (Paul). CEuvres, Nouvelle Edition revue, cor-

Discours sur le Style Burlesque. Portraits and fronts, by
Folkema. 10 vols, minimo, fresh half morocco, contents
lettered. Amsterdam, chez J. IVetstein et G. Smith, 1737
Rake and best edition and known as that of Brazen de la Martiniere. Scar-
ron's love of burlesque, of malicious buffoonery, of profane gaiety, was simply
a way of escape through the gates of mockery from the ' 1 Tourmens vchemens
of an incurable ailment brought about by a life of very gross pleasure, the con-
sequence of which was that, in less than four years, he was seized with perma-
nent paralysis of the limbs. Mazarin gave him a pension of five hundred
crowns, but he quarreled with the Cardinal and, joining the Krondeurs, lam-
pooned the prime minister with spleenful virulence. Koucquet, later on,
granted him a pension of sixteen hundred crowns, and it Is said that this most
consummate beggar that ever lived, if he could not get a benefice or purse of
gold, or a lodge at court, he would take a load of firew.xxi, or a carriage,
pasties, capons, cheese, poodles, etc. — nothing came amiss, and his ample
acknowledgments showed how thoroughly he had mastered the art of expressing
gratitude. His wife, Francoise d'Aubigne, after his death became the mistress
of Louis XIV., and was known in history as Madame de Maintenon.

Printed by Jouaust. Hans Leonard Scheufelein was among the German
painters of the first half of the Sixteenth century. He was one of the most
celebrated pupils of Albert Durer. His grotesque yet important "Wedding
Dance " has always been celebrated on account of the value that it has in deter-
mining the costumes of his period.

site pages. At the end of the volume are fragments and other poems in the
same style by Bonifonius, Dorat, Marigny, Guarini and others. That of Do rat
has the French and English text.

Large paper and very rare. " This small collection, singular in the matter
is more so by the manner in which it is done; it may be considered not only as
a masterpiece of the fancy of the Antients, but as a very rcmaikable monument
of thtir talents and taste in engraving and designing. My real opinion is, that
the greatest part of these stones have not been executed before the empire of
Augustus and Tiberius. ... I am certain that the original stones, from which
I had the designs taken, have been done by some excellent Greek artists. I
thought, I should not displease the public in reducing them to a foim easy to be
procured, and which could at the same time shew how elegant was the noble
simplicity of the ancients, and how far they carried that point of perfection
which none of the moderns have yet attained." — Preface.

always quite easy and graceful in manner, never strained; never betraying an

of natural landscape."

Virgin Mary and Infant Savior with several saints and a ceiling in fresco

" In the works of Baroccio, we admire an elegant taste, and there is great

"The Education of Achilles," after Regnault, and
"L'Enlevement de Dejanire," after Guido-Reni."
Fine OLD impressions of these beautiful and celebrated prints. Bervic. the
most eminent of modern French engravers, was a pupil of the famous J. G.
Wille. but he early emancipated himself from that master's peculiar style. A
portrait which he executed in 17S3 first revealed the power which Bervic pos-
sessed of freeing himself from the influences of his early education and of ren-
dering most fully and characteristically the varied details of his subject. This
talent soon met with its due reward. In 1784 he was elected a member of the
Academy. Sovereigns and nations hastened to do homage to his talents.
Louis XVI. gave him the apartments in the l.ouvrc which had been vacant since
the death of the painter Lepicie. The Order of the Reunion was conferred
upon him in 1813, and the Legion of Honor in 1819. Most of the academies
of Europe enrolled him among their members, and he became a member of the
Institute of France. He established a school of engraving, in which his con-
stant aim was to warn his pupils against the baneful influence of servile imita-
tation, and guide each one according to the bent of his own individual genius,
Toschi and Oupont, both famous engravers, were his scholars.

641 BRACQUEMOND (Felix, born 1833). "Wild Ducks."
Original etching. Proof on Holland paper. Rare.
Kmile Bekgerat says: — " He (Hracquemond) stands, by good right, as an
etcher Iwrs Hgae, having no worthy rival except Jules Jacquemart. A proof of
a plate by Bracquemond is a precious object, and sells for the highest price.
The English consider them as choice tidbits, and rarely allow one to escape
them when sold."

Fine specimen of Bractjuemond's method of treating the female
nude figure.
643 BRACQUEMOND. "L'Inconnu."
F.ARLV impression with Delatre imprint. " If M. Bracquemond had pur-
sued etching regularly, there can be little doubt that he would have taken a
decided rank amongst the best etchers of the age. Unfortunately, however, for
this particular branch of art, he accepted an engagement at Sevres, which has
since occupied all his time." — HamertoN.
644 BRAUWER (Adrian, also spelt " Brower," born 1608 and
di(d 1640). " Orgy of Dutch Boors."
Original India ink sketch. Three Dutch peasants are seated around a
barrel indulging in beer and tobacco. A fourth, with bended body and his face
to the wall, is disposing of his potations.
This is a very spirited sketch in the style of Tcniers and Van Ostade, the
latter of whom aided Brauwer in escaping from Frans Hals, whose greed and
rapacity held him a prisoner, locked up in a garret, that he might profit by
Brauwer's remarkable talents. Rubens was one of the principal patrons of this
artist, whose dissipation brought him to an early grave.
"The subjects of Brauwer were of the lowest order, representing the frolics
of his pot-companions; but his expression is so lively anil characteristic, his
coloring so transparent and brilliant, and the passions and movements of his
figures so admirably expressed that his works have justly elicited the applause of
the world. They are highly valued, and in consequence of his irregular life arc
exceedingly scarce." — Spooner.

KIAGE OF THE EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN."
Hans Burgkmair was the friend and fellow-laborer of Albert Durcr in the ser-
vice of the Emperor Maximilian I. His prints are principally, if not entirely
on wood, and are designed with extraordinary spirit and fire. Indeed the endless
imagination and richness of suggestion, as well as truth to the life of his time,
and dramatic value to be found in his works, place him in the highest rank of
the illustrative artists of the world.

652 CAMI'EN (Jacques van, Lord of Jiambrock, died 1658).
" Farm-Yard."
Original sepia and crayon sketch by this celebrated Dutch artist and
architect, who was a member of one of the noblest families of Holland. He
followed painting as an amusement. The palace at Amsterdam, the finest edifice
in his native country, was erected by him and is said to have cost over thirty
million florins.
The above, which is signed "C. V.," represents atypical Dutch farm-yard
with cows, pigs, farmhouse, hayrick and the like.
653 CARAVAGGIO (Polidoro Caldara da, born 1495 and died
1543). "Bas-relief on Greek Sarcophagus."
Original India ink sketch of Sarcophagus, now in the museum of the
Capitol and in which the I'ortland Vase was found. On the friexe are some
nine human figures, among them is an old man seated, probably Zeus, helmeted
Creek warriors with horses and two robed women. It is somewhat of the char-
acter, in etfect, of the Parthenon frieze.
Raffaello Sanzio rescued Caravaggio from the occupation of a hod carrier, in
which he had passed a youth of misery and want, took him into his school and
later selected him to paint the friezes in his great master's works. Caravaggio
was murdered in his forty-eighth year by his Sicilian servant for the sake of his
money.
654 CAREY (Ch.). « L'Audience," after Meissonier.
Fine proof in a neat bronzed frame.
655 CASTAGNO (Andrea del, born 1409 and died 1480). " The
Crucifixion."
Original sepia sketch from the "Cabinet Gallozzi." and stamped with the
monogram of that collection. At the foot of the cross, to which the Savior is
nailed, are the Blessed Virgin in a bowed position, and a kneeling Roman soldier,
who in one hand holds a spear and in the other a chalice into which blood is
spurting from the wounded side of Christ.
Andrea del Castagno, whose memory was rendered infamous by his crimes, is
still interesting to art by his extraordinary merit. He was a pupil of Masaccio,
and we are told that — " he was in possession of a high reputation when Domcnico
Venetiano visited Florence who had learned the new method of painting in oil
and varnish from Antonella da Messina, till then unknown in Tuscany. Tbe
novelty and splendor of the new mode of coloring was extremely admired; and
Castagno, by a pretended friendship for Domenico, was the only person to whom
he communicated the secret. To be the sole possessor of so valuable a discovery
was a temptation his ambition could not resist, and his principles were not proof
against the most atrocious means of securing it. He conceived the horrid pro-
ject of assassinating his rival which he effected and escaped suspicion. He sur-
vived ihis murder a few years, and practised his ill-acquired art with great suc-
cess. Tormented by remorse and terror, he made a full confession of his guilt
previous to his death."

662 CLAUDE LORRAINE {born 1600 and died 1682). " Le
port de mek au fayal."
Dumesnil, No. II. " The position of Claude as a landscape painter may be
brieliy defined. He was the lirst artist who made landscapes thoroughly charm-
ing by means of artistic and harmonious composition, and beautiful effects of
light. By these means he captivated the connoisseurs of his time, and became
the father of modern landscape His superiority as an etcher is chiefly a.
technical superiority: he could lay a shade more delicately, and more perfect
gradation, than any other etcher of landscape; he could reach rare effects of
transparency, and there is an ineffable tenderness in his handling. These are
his chief claims to our consideration, and he is so strong on these points that
such accomplished moderns as 1 laden and Samuel Palmer have a great reverence
for his name." — Hamerton.

ing, has been generally considered the superior of Edwin l.andseer. His works
sell for extraordinary prices in England.
On the back of the sketch is the following manuscript note : — ' ' Original
sketch by Thos. Sidney Cooper, R.A., from his painting of the Queen's favorite
Guernsey cow, now at Osborne. November, 1S48."
670 COROT (Jean Baptiste Camille, born 1796 and ditd 1875).
" A Souvenir ok Italy."
Proof impression on Japan paper ok this celebrated "painter-
etching."
Hamerton says; — " The few etchings of Corot have one merit and charm —
they do certainly recall to mind, by association of ideas, his charming work in
oil, so full of the sweetest poetical sentiment. All sins are forgiven to the true
poet, Corot may not be a great poet, as Turner was, but he is a true one. He
feels the mystery of nature; he feels the delightfulness of cool, grey mornings
and dewy evenings; he feels the palpitating life of gleaming river-shores and
the trembling of the light branches wherein the fitful breezes play. He has an
intense sense of the glimmering indecision and mystery of natural appeamnces,
and he does not, as it seems to us, draw and paint with precision simply because
his attention does not lix itself on that which is precise. It is a remarkable
proof of the value of direct expression, however defective in its manner, that
Corot's etchings, with all their faults, should convey a better notion of his
genius than the far cleverer plates which Bracquemond executed after Corot's
pictures."

Original etching. First state. Rare.

Very rare and splendid impressions of these famous etchings which
illustrate Douglas Jenold's renowned stories of — " The Preacher Parrot ; " The
Mayor of Hole-Cum-Corner " ; " Perditus Mutton"; and "The Baron Von
Boots. "
Cruikshank may be considered — "the modern Callot. A never ceasing, still-
beginning source of amusement. Unlike most representations, his works never
tire, nor does his humour fail. Look at them a hundred times, and the same
laugh is sure to follow. To turn his designs into words, each print would
require a vol u me. so wonderfully does he condense his creative powers. Yet in
each a stern moral is afforded, and that in the most powerful and attractive
manner."

Remaroue proof on Japan paper. Op excessive rarity; probably
UNIQUE. Hamerton, in " Etching and Etchers," says: — "Detaille, who has
become celebrated as a painter very early in life, etches with consummate ease
and skill, which may be attributed to his habit of making elever croi/uis of what
he sees for subsequent use in his pictures. His two plates, ' Un Uhlan ' and
' Tiompette de Chasseurs,' are as good as anything well can be in that light-
handed, sketchy manner, being full of the closest observation expressed with
admirable ease. Any critic can say that these are ' mere sketches,' because all
the paper is not blackened ; but he who knows what good drawing is, and where
to look for it, will find more of it in a horse's leg by Detaille, sketched from
memory in a five minutes, than in many a labored engraving."

" Karel Dujardin evidently loved the life of the fields. He strictly followed
Paul Potter as long as he remained in his native land. He engraved numbers of
animals, illustrating their habits and explaining their natures. Some sleep in
sheer idleness, stretched on their sides or wallowing in the mud: others, accus-
tomed to work, ruminate peacefully, or browse carelessly on the grass. Dujar-
din's engraving is clear, the outlines bold and distinct ; he never betrays weari-

de Champagne," after a painting by himself.
Neatly framed in First Empire cherry frame. A line impression of this
anious engraver's masterpiece. Charles Sumner in his article on " The Best
THE TMVVLZIO CATALOGUE.
Portraits in Engraving," says: — " llerard Edelinck excelled Nanteuil in genuine
mastery. It- requires no remarkable knowledge to recognize his great merits.
Evidently he is a master, exercising sway with absolute art, and without attempts
to bribe the eye by special effects of light." LoNCHI in his valuable work.
" La Calcografia," is very enthusiastic in his praise. He remarks: " He [Ede-
linck] is an engraver whose works deserve the first place among exemplars,"'
and he attributes to him all perfections in his art: designs, chiaro-oscuro, ariel
perspective, local tints, softness, lightness, variety, in short, everything which
can enter into the representation of the true and beautiful without the aid of
color. Of this particular portrait he writes: — ' ' The work which goes the most
to my blood, and with regard to which Etlelinck with good reason can congratu
late himself, is the portrait of Champagne. I shall die before I cease to aon-
template it with wonder always new. Here is seen how he was equally great as
designer and as engraver,''

King," after Lakgillierk.
723 EDELINCK. " Chari.es, dug de Bekri," after de
Troye.
Fine impression, antique oak frame. Folio. A beautiful specimen of the

the third son of the Dauphin, and grandson of l.ouis XIV. He was born in
if>86 and named by Charles II. of Spain successor to the throne of that
country. He died in 1714. This plate, which is undated, was probably en-

Known as the " Hundred Ouilder" print. An extremely fink
i opy ti y Leopold F lament. Oak frame with deep French mat. Of this copy
ILimerton says: — "lie (Flameng) produced a copy ol one of Kembrandt's
most difficult and complicated etchings— a copy which certainly far exceeds the
most perfect photograph in accuracy, whilst at the same time it possesses as a
piece of execution in etching all those technical merits for which Rembrandt
himself was famous. It is not an exaggeration of the truth to affirm, that there
exists in Europe in our own day a man who may he said to possess the hand
and eye of Rembrandt It may be difficult to convey to the reader
that full apprehension of the wonder of such a work as this. In a certain sense
it may be boldly affirmed that, as a technical performance merely, such a copy
as this is even more wonderful than the original plate itself."

Original sepia drawing by Guercino of a delightfully executed three-quar-

head, the nude breast and arm all exhibit the strong peculiarities and boldness
of drawing of this great Italian master. •
Guercino was always famous for his pictures of women, of which his Petro-
nilla, Aurora, St. Helena, and Madonnas are most celebrated. The first
picture he painted when he was only ten years old, was on the facade of his
father's house and was a figure of the Virgin.

The one to the right with turbaned head has his hand upraised and the index

repose given by art to St. Paul, has one hand on his breast and the other out-
stretched. Between the old men is a boy with bowed head listening intently.

and signed "Master Quynlyn." It represents a female religious, halt figure,
praying with outstretched hands. The face shows all the characteristics of the
Flemish type as it peers out of the coifed head dress. On the back of the
drawing is a portion of a sketch of " A Madonna " doubtless also by the great
master. Until this famous painter was twenty years of age, he followed the
laborious calling of a blacksmith. The cause of his quitting the anvil for the
palette is said to have originated in his having conceived a strong attachment
to the daughter of an artist of that time, who had determined she should marry
no other than a painter. Finding her father inflexible in his resolution, he
abandoned his devotion to Vulcan and became an humble worshipper at the
shrine of the Muses.

graph.
Hryan gives the birth and death of Van der Meer " the younger" as 1665-
1688, but Balkcma as 1665-1722. This sketch represents a cluster of buildings
and a bridge over a river, that winds through a vatlev located amid well-wooded
hills.
Van der Meer studied under Nicholas Berghem, and his pictures " are found
in the best collections, particularly in Holland, where they are highly esteemed."
It is said he was " so successful in painting sheep, that he equalled, if not sur-
passed, his instructor Herghem."

Me'ryon, early in life, was a naval officer — "he visited remote shores, sailing
even round the world, and always employing his leisure hours in sketching
everything ol interest that came in his way. " It was while on one of these
voyages he mailt! i he drawing of San Francisco, from which he afterwards exe-
cuted his wonderful etching of that city described below. His health, however
did not allow him to follow the sea, and on his return to Paris he studied engravl
ing under Blery and became one of the best etchers of his day. His work
however, did not meet with the appreciation which it deserved and he fell inio a
melancholia, which finally ended in insanity and death. It is much to be
regretted that during one of the paroxysms of his madness he destroyed some
of his linest plates. Hamerton says of him : " Me'ryon was one of the greatest
and most original artists who have appeared in Europe ; he is one of the im-
mortals ; his name will be inscribed on the noble roll where Durer and Rem-
brandt live forever."

Raphael Morghcn, the best known and one of the most celebrated engravers
of modern times, needs no eulogy here. He was at an early age instructed in
the elements of his art by his father. In 1778 he entered the studio of Volpate
at Rome. His first work of importance was a copy of Sadeler's print of "Christ
and Mary Magdalene in the Garden." This was looked upon as a remarkable
performance, and, considering the artist's youth, it gave considerable promise of
his future greatness. The well known "Aurora" of Guido was his next large plate.
His fame now rose to a great height, and he received many commissions from
the Royal Family of Florence and others. In 1795 he commenced the celebrated
"Transfiguration "of Raphael, but it was not completed until 1S12, when it
appeared with a dedication to Napoleon. This print was originally sold for
twenty scudi, but its value has so much increased that certain impressions have
sold of late years for several hundred dollars. All the prints of Morghcn have
been described in a very able manner by Mr. F. R. Halsey in his "Catalogue
Raisonne," to which exhaustive book we refer those of our readers who may want
any information on this subject. Many years since the late Duke of Buckingham
paid one thousand two hundred pounds for a collection of the works of Raphael
Morghen. What would such a collection sell for now ?

is correct and his prints have a very pleasing appearance. In lyiohe left

944 VAN DYCK. (Sir Anthony, born 1599 and died 1641). " The
Descent from the Cross."

Desprez ct Crepet." This is the original sketch made by Van I)yck for one of
bis most admired works and whkh was formerly in the church of the Kccollets

at Antwerp. In this painting he appears to have had in his mind the famous
dead Christ by Annibale Carracci. There is an anecdote told of Van Dyck that
he repainted the face of the Virgin and the arm of the Magdalene in a picture of
the " Descent from the Cross " by his master Rubens, which some of his fellow
pupils had injured. It is said that Rubens, on the day after this occurrence,
entered his painting room attended by his disciples and regarding the picture, he
observed — '* There is a head and arm that arc by no means the worst of what I
did yesterday " ; and though on approaching nearer to the picture he discovered
the alteration, he was so satisfied with what had been done, that he did not
think it proper to change it.
On the verso of the above is another study of the " Descent from the Cross "
by Van Dyck, in which the positions of the various figures arc altered.
This is one of the most important pieces in the collection.
945 VAN DYCK. " Hercules rescuing Dejanira from
Nessus."
Original India ink and sepia sketch. A grand conception. Hercules
with his foot on the body of the Centaur, is just about to deliver the fatal blow'
in revenge for the attempted outrage of his wife on the banks of the Kvcntts'
Dejanira, semi-nude, is standing bv, watching the death throes of the jjuilty
monster, whose face, arms and hands are expressive of his awful agony.
Van Dyck did not content himself with painting portraits, and as Spooner
says — " he painted also many historical pieces, and he never at any time ceased
operating in this department. Inferior to Rubens in boldness of conception and
fertility of invention, he never could have equalled him in historical paintintr-
but his compositions are arranged with judgment and propriety; he surpassed hirn
in correctness of design, the delicate expression of his heads, and the truth
purity and harmony of his coloring."
946 VAN DYCK. " Petrus Brengel."
This and the three following numbers are original etchings by the celebrated
portrait painter. Van Dyck was not content merely to look over cngravinw
after his works by Bolswert. Pontius or Vostermans; he used the etching needle
himself, and has left brilliant proofs of his skill in this kind of work. llamerton
says: — " He (Van Dyck) is one of the great princes of the art. Van Dyck's etch-
ings have greatly increased in value of late years. At M. Siguier's sale, in
1S44, they averaged from three to eight pounds each, and were thought to' be
very dear. At recent sales they have produced sums varying from eight to
thirty pounds. It may be considered certain that, as etching becomes better
appreciated, the plates of Van Dyck will attain still higher prices."

This and the next number are of the same size, and uniform with the original

Pontius seems to have adapted his style to the character of the persons rcprel
sented. His plates are executed with the graver in a clear bold style; and they
will be ranked among the ablest productions of the Flemish engraver."—.

95S VELDE (Adrian Van de, born 1639 an J died 1672.) "Cross-
ing the Ford."
Original India ink sketch, representing oxen and sheep in charge of a
herdsman and female peasant fording a stream. Bryan says — "His animals,
particularly the cows, sheep and goats, are designed with a correctness and per-
fection which has never been surpassed. His pictures are deservedly held in
the highest estimation, and, as he died in the prime of life, the number of
them, though always very highly finished, establishes his indefatigable applica-
tion as well as his uncommon facility of execution."
His " La Chassc Royale," sold in the Lormier sale in 1763 for 265 dollars,
was bought by Baron Rothschild, in that of the Count of Perregaux, for $5,625.
959 VELDE (William van de,"//ie Old" born \b\aand died 1693).
•■ Battle between the English and Dutch Fleets."(2)
Original drawings in black and white, heightened with India ink.
This was originally one drawing and represents a great naval battle between the
English and Hutch fleets. Along the top of the drawings are descriptions rela-
tive to the positions of the \*arious men-of-war. Beneath some of the vessels are
given their names.
Van de Velde's talents, says Spooner — " recommended him to the notice of
the States of Holland, and Descamps says, they furnished him with a small
vessel to accompany their fleets that he might design the different manoeuvres
and engagements — that he was present in various sea fights, in which he fear-
lessly exposed himself to the most imminent danger while making his sketches ;
he was present at the severe battle between the Hutch and English fleets, under
the command of Admiral Opdam and the Duke of York, in which the ship of
the former, with five hundred men, was blown up. and in the still more memora-
ble engagement in the following year, between the Knglish, under the Duke of
Albemarle, and the Dutch Admiral lie Ruyter. which lasted three days. It is
said that during these engagements he sailed alternately between ihe fleets so as
to represent minutely every movement of the ships and the most material cir-
cumstances of the actions with incredible exactness and truth. So intent was
he upon his drawing, that he constantly exposed himself to the greatest danger
without the least apparent anxiety. He wrote over the ships their names and
those of their commanders, and under his own frail craft, ' V. Velde's Gallijodt,'
or ' Myn Gallijodt.' "
Van de Velde's picture, known as " Le Coupe de Canon," brought in 1786
L 52, and in 1790 only ,£36. At the sale of Jeremiah Ilarm.m's Collection, in
1844, it was resold for 1,380 guineas, «. e., $7,395.
960 VELDE (William van de, " the Younger," born 1633 and died
1607). " Men ok War."
Original marine by the younger Van de Velde and son of the preceding,
depicting in sepia and India ink two war ships of the time of Charles II.
" The palm is not less disputed with Raffaelle for history than with Van de
Velde for sea-pieces." — Horace Wai.PoLe.
" The compositions of the younger Van de Velde are distinguished by a more
tasteful arrangement of his objects than is found in the productions of any other
painter of marines." — SpiKJNEK.
THE TRIVULZIO CATALOGUE.
961 VERONESE (Paolo Cagliari, called 1 ' Paul Veronese"— born
1532 and died 1588). " The Crucifixion."
Original skit a sketch by the most distinguished painter of the Venetian
school. Christ and the two thieves are depicted crucified on the left of the pic-
ture. At the foot of the central cross is the " Mater Dolorosa." and kneeling
ha front is a centurion in armor, with outstretched arms, imploring forgive-
ness. In the centre is a group of disciples, holy women and Roman soldiers.
In the front is a curious group of figures who appear to be coming out of the
bowels of the earth. One figure seems to be rising from the tomb to look at
the awful spectacle. To the right of the picture is a Roman officer in armor,
whose horse is pawing the air. The walls of Jerusalem are in the background,
and gathering clouds are darkening the sky.
962 VERSCHURING (Henry, born 1627 and died 1690).
u Riding Party."
Original India ink sketch by this eminent Dutch artist. It represents a
mounted cavalier and lady accompanied by another riiler who is about to nvunt
his horse, held by a boy. A gTeyhound is standing by and two other dogs are
held in leash. In the centre of the picture is a statue of a saint garbed in mo-
nastic habit. To the left is a fountain, and to the right trees, with buildings in
the distance.
This was doubtless painted during Verschuring's residence in Italy, where he
designed the most remarkable and picturesque views, in the vicinity of Rome,
with the remains of ancient architecture, with which he enriched the background
of his pictures. His works were greatly admired, not only at Rome, but at
Florence and Venice, where he passed some time.

Fine etching, after Millet.
9C6 VOLTERRA (Daniele Ricciarelli, called "di Voltcrra," horn
1509 a »d died 1566). "The Virgin Mary.''
Original crayon sketch. This very beautiful drawing depicts the Virgin
on one knee, with hands clasped across her bosom and bended head. This is a
beautiful example, and the head of the Holy Mother is a remarkably fine piece
of drawing- Volterra's " Deposition from the Cross " was considered after the
" Transfiguration " of Kaffcello and the "Communion of St. Jerome" by Do-
menichino. the finest picture at Rome. The above is probably one of the
designs for his series of frescoes in the Capella Orsini in which he was assisted
by Michael Angelo, through whose influence in 1 547 he was appointed by Pope
I'aul in. superintendent of the works in the Vatican. His last great work as a
painter was his celebrated picture of the "Murder of the Innocents " for the
Church of St. Peter at Volterra. which was afterwards purchased by the Grand
Duke Leopold and placed in the tribune of the gallery at Florence.

the Nymph Syrinx." (a)
Landscapes with trees; the classical legends introduced. Spoon er says— "As
an engraver, the works of Waterloo have long been the admiration of artists
and connoisseurs. They are etched with great spirit and facility, in a very
masterly style, and usually retouched with the graver to harmonize the lights
and invigorate the shadows. They consist of landscapes from his own designs,
frequently embellished with figures from sacred and profane history and mythol-
ogy, lie etched the whole design with equal strength, but slightly, and then
finished in a bold manner those parts which he desired to be most effective."

971 WILLE (John George, born 1717 and dud 1807). "The
Little Physician,'' after Gaspar Netscher.
Fine ORIGINAL impression, neatly framed. " But Paris soon again became
the centre of the art. which he quickened into new life by an engraver of orig-
inal genius, who attracted to him pupils from all parts of Europe, so that he
became the father of the great school of engravers that flourished in France,
Germany and Italy al>out the end of the last century. This eminent master was
John George Wille, who was born at Konigsberg in 1 71 7. but establishing
himself in Paris, he devoted his long life of ninety-one years to the art in which
he so greatly excelled. His neat and careful style was well adapted to pictures
of the school of Gerard Dow. as well as to elaborate portraits, and there is no
engraver whose works are more eagerly sought and more universally ad-
mired."— The Golden Age of Engraving.

975 WHISTLER. "Street Scene in Paris."
Original etching. " Whistler may be fairly estimated now. He has very
rare and very peculiar endowments, and may, in a certain sense be called great —
that is, so far as greatness may be understood of faculties which are rather
remarkable for keenness and originality than range. The faculties which he has
are pre eminently of the artistic order; he is essentially a painter and etcher;
he is never literary, but always pictorial It is unfortunate,
I think, that etchings like those of Mr. Whistler and Mr. Haden should be
published at such a very high price and in such a small edition."— Hamertos.

" Call to Arms."
Original India ink drawing by this most popular of the Dutch landscape

without which Vv'ouwcrmans never painted a picture. A group of seated soldiers
are carousing at a hostelry by the side of which are ships at anchor and of which
only the masts are seen. Two soldiers are mounted and a bugler is trumpeting
to arms.
At the back of the above is an MS. note to the effect " from the Barnard
Collection, No. 207."
"The pictures of Wouwermans are held in the highest estimation; they
usually represent hunting and hawking parlies, horse-fairs, encampments, halts
of travelers and other subjects, into which he would introduce horses which he
designed with a correctness and spirit, which has never been equalled." —
Spooner,

timber, rural building and river dam.

tablished an academy which has produced some of the ablest painters of the
Dutch school. He has the credit of ranking among his disciples Adrian Van de
Velde, Philip Wouverman, and other eminent masters, who occasionally con-
tributed to the embellishment of his landscapes by the addition of their admir-
able figures and animals.

figures by Marshall, also the very rare portrait of King
Charles the II. while Prince of Wales by Van Dalen.
Thick small folio, calf gilt. London, 1643
Rare, with the autograph of John Stuteville on back of portrait, which is not
to be found in later editions, also with " Errata " carefully mended. This
edition is not mentioned by Lowndes, who gives 1641 as the first, and 1653 as
the second. This contains many curious documents and interesting particulars
omitted by Kdward 1'hillips and his followers who edited the above. This
Chronicle was the historical treasury of the English people before the publication
of Rapin's "England." It was a great book for the country squire's round
table — the companion of the family Bible, the dog-eared, pie-crusted Shakespeare
and Fox's " Hook of Martyrs." Sir Roger de Coverley knew and loved it, for
AdJison tells us in the " Spectator," that he found — " Since 1 was with him in
the country, he had drawn many observations together out of his reading in
Baker's Chronicle." The above copy is stamped in gold on the sides with a
coronet above a label on which is the motto " Vigilantibus." in the centre of
which is a cock roosted on a trumpet.

BARTSCH'S PEINTRE GRAVEUR IN NINETEEN
VOLUMES.

numerous plates of monograms, etc., 21 vols, in 18; also
separate volume of plates containing 16 plates etched by
Bartsch after various masters and belonging to the above
work, oblong folio. Together 19 vols, boards.
Leipsic, 1854-70
This work, which is, beyond dispute, the most exact and perfect production
of its kind, fetched, in shabby German hoards, at the Rev. Dr. Wellesley's sale,
Nov., 1866, £13 5s. ; 1867, Carpenter's copy, equally poor, £l\.
It is a most complete account of Painters' Etchings and Engravings from the
earliest period. The descriptions are so minute that any plate may be immedi-
ately recognized. Vols. I to 5 comprise the Flemish and Dutch Schools ;
Vols. 6 to 11, the German School ; Vols. 12 to 13, the Italian School ; Vols.
14 to 15, Marc Antonio Kiniguerra and his School ; and Vols. 16 to 21, the
suile of the School of Italy.
A very skilful and, indeed, invaluable production, illustrated with some
Curious fac-similes. Hartsch was himself an artist of no ordinary ability,
and his engravings, especially after some of Rubens, are quite admirable.
" A literary performance, in the graphic department, of really solid merit and
utility."— Diatom's " Jour in Germany" Vol. 3, p. 303.

VERY RARE. A splendid set of these I-atin classics printed by Baskerville
and bound by Derome, with the inserted book-plate of " Ex libris James Hart-
mann.
" The typography of Baskerville is eminently beautiful ; his letters are in
general of a delicate and slender form, calculated for an octavo or even a
quarto, but not sufficiently bold to fill the space of an imperial folio, as is
evident from a view of his great Bible. He united, in a singularly happy
manner, the elegance of Plantin with the clearness of the Elzevirs ; his quarto
and twelvemo Virgil, and small prayer book, or twelvemo Horace of 1762. suf-
ficiently confirm the truth of this remark. He seems to have been extremely
curious in the choice of his paper and ink. In his italic letter, whether capital
or small, he stands unrivaled ; such elegance, freedom and perfect symmetry
being in vain to be looked for among the specimens of Aldus and Colinaeus. ' —

from the Vatican Library." This is probably an error, as the Pontiffs have
always been allowed to donate their private property.

a ducal coronet, with strawberry leaves, and around them a mantling covered
with heraldic devices and the gTand collars and crosses of two orders, one being
of the " Saint Esprit." Two impaled shields are side by side, baron et fenime.

This volume belonged to the ancient house of the Dukes of Montpensier.
llerr von Hepp, who, next to M. Frank d'Aulte, is the best authority on French
heraldry in America, says that the arms on the book undoubtedly belonged to
the Montpensier branch of the Bourbon family. Henry, last Duke of Mont-
pensier ot the elder branch, was born May 12, 1573, at Paris, and died there Feb-
ruary 27, 1608. He presided over the assembly of notables held by Henry IV.,
at Rouen, in 1506. He bore the title of the Prince of D'Oubes during his
father's lifetime. His only child was the wife of (Jaston d'Orlcans, the mother
of "La Grande Mademoiselle," or Mademoiselle de Montpensier, who died
after having purchased the liberty of her husband, the Count de l.auzun. by
giv ing up all her wealth to the Due de Maine. This younger branch was de-
scended from John II. de Bourbon Count de Vendome and Isabella, heiress of
Beauveau. He was the grandfather of the iirsl Duke of Vendome, who was the
grandfather of Henry IV, This branch passed through four generations. The
Prince of l.a Roche-sur-Yon, 1520, married the paternal aunt of the Constable
dc Bourbon, and was killed at Rome. Their second son left no male issue by
the heiress of Montespedon, widow of the Marshal tie Montepan. This lady
was the Princess de la Roche-sur-Yon, the maid of honor to Catherine de Med-
icis, mentioned by Brantome. 1 1 er mother-in-law, to whom we have just referred,
afterwards married Antoine de Chauvigny, Lord of Chateauroux, and outlived
him. The three last generations were I )ukes of Montpensier. The first married
the heiress of Hungary. Their daughter was the famous abbess, who escaped
from her convent by scaling its walls She became a Protestant and married
the Prince of Orange, the founder of the Dutch Republic. William III., Ring
of England, was descended from her. The second married the heiress of the
Bastard d'Anjou-Mezieni. The third became the husband of the heiress of
Joveuse Henrietta Catherine, daughter of the Count du Bouchaye, brother of
Aiine, Due de Joyeuse (one of Henry Ill's, favorites). She also married Charles
fourth, Due de Guise, son of Balafre, and was the grandmother of the last
Duke de Cuise, husband of the granddaughter of Elizabeth d'Orlcans, Mad-
emoiselle d'Alcncon, third daughter of Gaston d'Orleans by his second wife
Marguerite, Princess of Lorraine. This lady was the daughter of Francis II.,
father of Charles the third, Duke of Lorraine and last of his branch.

quently employed in the wonderful interlaced tooling are coronets and pilgrims'
shells, the latter of which are the principat charges in the coat armor of Lord

Very Rark. Every page ruled with ink and the inserted bookplates of
Emanuel Martin. An excellent example of Duseuil's binding, and of whom
Cundall says — " Ik-ttcr taste was to be found chiefly amongst amateurs and
among these was Duseuil, the most prominent binder in Paris next to I.e
Gascon. His skill was only exercised for pleasure, since he was a priest, not a
bookbinder, by profession. Duseuil was an abbe, but it is not possible to ascer-
tain tn which diocese he belonged, though it seems possible that he was attached
to that of Paris. He is well known by the catalogue of the library belonging to
Count Lomenic de Briennc which cost 80,000 livrcs According to MM
Michel ' La Reliure Francaise,' P. 96, most of the bindings attributed to the
Abbe Duseuil were done by Augustin Duseuil, a native of Provence. Augustin
was born in 1673, and coming to Paris perhaps learned his art under Philippe
Padeloup, whose daughter he married in 1699. The date of his death is un-
known. . . Alexander Pope refers to Duseuil as follows in the fourth of his
' Moral Essays ' —
' His study; with what authors is it stored ?
In books, not authors, curious is my lord;
To all their dated backs he turns you round,
These Aldus printed, those Duseuil has bound."

editor do not extend beyond the fourth book of the " Odes," the remaining part
of the work is therefore Dr. Combe's. The text is formed on the base of
Gesner's edition, and the work is enriched by a careful collation of the cditio prin-
ceps (in his Majesty's library) and seven Harleian MSS. The notes are taken
chiefly from Cruejuius, Lambinus, Torrentius, Sanadon. licntley, Cunning-

very few copies were struck off on large paper, which are now rare and bring a

" Hoilcau is the analogue of Pope in French literature. ' The Art of Poetry '
has be*m the model of the ' Essay on Criticism.' Few poems more resemble
each other. Both arc uncommon efforts of uncommon good sense, and both
are distinguished by their short and pointed language which remains in the
memory. The ' I.utrin ' is the most popular of the poems of Boileau. Its sub-
ject is ill-chosen. , . Hut the poignant wit and satire, the elegance and correct-
ness of numberless couplets, as well as the ingenious adaptations of classical
passages, redeem this poem and confirm its high place in the mock-heroic line."

PORTRAITS OF THE MEDIEVAL COURT OF FRANCE
BV CLOUET.
1 100 CLOUET (Francis). Three hundred French portraits re-
presenting personages of the Courts of Francis L, Henry
II. and Francis II., auto-lithographed from the originals at
Castle Howard, Yorkshire, by Lord Ronald Gowf.r, a
trustee of the National Gallery of Portraits. 2 vols, thick
square folio, cloth. London, 1875
LIMITED edition, " It is a common error to call the works of the French
Holbein (as Francis Clouet may justly be styled) ' Janet's,' for that was only
the soubriquet of the second artist of the family of Clouet, whose father Jean
was a native of Itrussels, and Court Painter to the Duke of Hurguntiy, as a
receipt dated 1495, for payment of works executed for that personage, proves.
His second son also named Jean established himself in France and became
painter in ordinary to Francis the I. In 1522, he obtained, by purchase, the
post of ' valet dc ehambre ' to the king, and about this time we find the name
of Jean Clouet corrupted into that of Jehan, Jeanct, Jehannot, Jehannet, or, as
it is vulgarly known * Janet:' following a custom not uncommon in those days
of giving the son the father's Christian name. Jean or Janet Clouet died in
1541, without leaving any works that can be traced as his, and it was the son,
Francois Clouet, to whose facile pen we owe undoubtedly the greater portion
of the drawings copied in these volumes, and so many other portraits illustrating
the courts of the Valois. . . . Indeed these faitu chalk drawings on the stained
and coarse old paper are full of history; we can, while looking on them, almost
imagine we see defile before us all the pomp and chivalry and beauty of old
France, we see a^ain with our own eyes the brave knights who jousted with
Francis 1. or with Henry II., who (ought with Monlnorency and Coligny,
Guise and Comic, or who fell in the streets of Paris in the bloody daysof August,
1572. Here, too, are brought before us the great ladies whose lives Itrant&me's
pen has rendered notorious; prelates and statesmen whose deeds are chronicled
by D'Aubigny; royal infants, some fortunate in meeting an early death, others
again doomed to support the uneasy weight of a crown, and of these, who will
not look with interest upon Mary of Scotland." — Preface.

No dramatic collection can be considered complete without the above authors,
who, for the most part writers of comedy, flourished after the extinction of the
British Commonwealth. As the text in previous editions had been either imper-
fectly or corruptly dealt with, the several plays are now presented in an unmu-
tilated form. They are beautifully printed on fine paper, and range with the
best editions of Ben Jonson, Shirley and other early dramatists.

UNIQUE SET OF THE LITTLE PASSION.
1150 DURER (Albert). The Little Passion of our Lord
Jesus Christ. 36 woodcuts. 4to, vellum gilt, broad
inside double gilt tooling, gilt edges.
[Nuremberg, 1509-10]
Unique set. The above cuts (Bartsch 18-52) are impressions from the orig-
inal blocks and "appear to have been executed in 1509 and 1510, whilst Albert
Durer was in the meridian of his practice as a designer on wood." Six have the
old Latin letter-press on the backs. Others which have none were the first im-
pressions taken.
The Little Passion of Albert Durcr, has long been regarded as one of the
most remarkable collections of illustrations known to the world. Complete sets
of the entire scries are excessively rare.
" It is chiefly in Durer 's engravings that we are able to get an insight into the
depths of his character. Perfect in detail and marvelous in execution, each one
conveys a lesson often too deep for minds unaccustomed to introspection, un-
moved by the questionings and doubts, the hopes and the despair, which afflict a
nature dissatisiied with the conditions in which it exists, and striving ever to
fathom the surrounding mysteries." — Mrs. HeaTO*.

Excessively rare second edition and of which Dr. John Hammond
Trumbull, the only person in the United States who can read the book, says:
"While the lirst edition of Eliot's ' Bible ' is the more attractive to collectors
of rare Americana, and deserves the pre-eminence that is accorded to it, as a

monument of early American typography and as the first version of the Bible
printed in the New Wot Id, it should not be forgotten that to students of the
American languages and the general philologist, the Second is the more valuable;
and that all critical references to Eliot's version are, or should be, made to this
revised and corrected version.
This copy is unusually interesting on account of having the names of Indian
chiefs and others written on the three blank pages of the book. There are also
numerous marginalia written in the Indian dialect. On the back of the Index
to the Old and New Testaments are the following: " Asaph, his book ....
Asaph, his Bible .... Sent to Exp. Mayhew .... Rec'd from the Rev Mr.
Mayhew from Martha's Vinyard, March 22, 1720-21 .... ad february the 14
year 1740-7 oi bible Zachary hoosveit gay head nohtompeantog." On the back
of the title to the New Testament are some Bible references and also five para-
graphs in the Indian dialect which have affixed to them the dates 1634, 1042,
1661, 1675 and 1543.
On the last page of the New Testament are five lines in Indian and on the
verso facing the Psalms are other notes, among them — ' ' I am Zacry Zacry ad
Cay bead. I have sad my name ad March 4(1-13-1 723-24." Below is a some-
what similar quotation to that already gi\en relating to " Zachry 1746-47." The
volume has been carefully mended where necessary, some of the marginsare cut
into, a few pages are stained, a fac -simile leaf has been added for chapters 8
and c, of Genesis and four leaves of the Psalms are also in fac-simile.
The copies of the second edition of the " Indian Bible" in the Brinley sale
brought as follows: — Lot 5683, $590, and lot 5684, $550.
John Eliot, pastor of Koxbury. Mass.. commenced, at the age of forty-two,
the study of the Natick Indian dialect, in which this work is printed. In 1645,
having made some proficiency, he expressed a desire to translate a portion of
the Scriptures into that language for the use of the Indians, to whom he acted
as Missionary, and, with the aid of an Indian, completed the translation of the
entire Bible, including the Old and New Testaments, in 165S, after a labor of
eight years. This fact having been communicated to the Corporation estab-
lished in London for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Indians of New-
England, that body expressed themselves, in a letter dated 7th of May, 1659,
on the subject of printing the work, in the following terms:
" As to the printing of the Bible in the Indian language mensioncd in Mr.
Endicott's letter; which wee vvderstand is alreddy translated into the Indian
tounge; wee conceiue will not onely be acceptable vnto God; but very profitable
to the poor heathen and will much tend to the promotion of the sperittuall part
of this worke amongst them; and therefor wee ofier it not only as our owne but
as the judgment of others that the New Testament bee first printed in the
Indian language."
The printing of that part was accordingly commenced by Samuel Green of
Cambridge the same year.
Writing in April, 1660, the Corporation add: — " We haue out of our desire
to further a worke of soe greate consernment hauing hopes that somethinge
will bee collected in particulare with Relation to the printing of the ould Testa-
ment, agreed with an able Printer for three years."
Marmaduke Johnson accordingly arrived in this country to superintend the
printing.
Among the many points of interest which this book possesses, not the least is
the fact that it is the language of a nation no longer in existence, and it is al-
most the only monument of the race; another, that the Indian Bible was the
first edition of the Bible published in this country. The very sight of it caused
quaint Cotton Mather to exclaim ; " Behold ye Americans ! the greatest honor
that ever you were partakers of ! This ... is the only Bible that ever was
printed in all America from the very foundation of the world!"
The names of the books are retained as in the English versions, and such
words as were unknown to the Indians are conserved with an Indian termina-
tion such as " cherubimlab," etc. The longest word is Mark, I., 40:
" Wutteppcsittukqussunnoowehtunkquoh," signifying " kneeliDg down to him."

_ Very rake and clean unspotted copy. The above came from the celebrated
library of the Dukes of Marlborough, and has the autograph " Marlborough ''
repeated several times on the end papers. The Marlborough copy is the only
copy that has ever been offered for sale in America, and it is the only one that
can be traced as having been sold in England. Brunet does not record the sale
of one since 1792. There is no doubt that the collection is of extreme rarity,
and it may be long before an opportunity will recur of securing a copy. Some
remarkably brilliant portraits are among the engravings.

Mr. Hamerton has enjoyed exceptional opportunities for gathering the expe-

dence of the most distinguished artists of his time, Mr. Hamerton does not
write from the limited experience of one man, but expresses what may be fairly
considered to be the state of existing knowledge. Besides this, his peculiar
work as editor of " The Portfolio " has brought him into the closest contact
with black and white art in all its reproducible forms.

"Gavin Hamilton, the author of ' Schola Italica Picture, 1 was descended
from an ancient Scotch family, and received a liberal education. He reached a
reputable position as a painter, but is chiefly distinguished for his attachment
to and ardor in promoting the advance of the fine arts. The greater part of
his life was spent at Rome, where he became a chaste and careful designer.
He possessed such advantages from early education as a scholar and painter as
gave to him a respectable rank among modern historical painters." — Spooner.

QjB the following celebrated quotation on Shakespeare, beginning:—" I remember,
the Players have often mentioned it as an honor to Shakespeare, that in his writ-
ing (whatsoever he penn'd) hee never blotted out line. My answer hath becne,
would he had blotted a thousand. Which they thought a malevolent speech. I
had not told posterity this, but for their ignorance, who choose that circumstance
to commend their friend by, he most faulted. And to justifie mine ownc candor
(for I lov'd the man, and doe honour his memory (on this side Idolatry) as much
as any). Hee was (indeed) honest, and of an open and free nature; had an excel-
lent Phantsie; brave notions and gentle expressions: wherein he flow'd with that
facility, that some times it was necessary be should be stop'd, etc.

1245 Kalidasa. — Sakoontala, or the Lost Ring, an Indian Drama,
translated into English Prose and Verse from the Sanskrit
of Kalidasa, by Monmer Williams. Beautifully illumi-

nated cover, uncut. N. Y., 1885
No. 9S of limited edition of 1 10 copies on Japan paper, with head-pieces and
borders in color by De Vinne.
Several editions of this great Indian drama have appeared abroad, but this is,
we think, the 'first attempt to bring it to the notice of American readers. The
pictorial borders to the illustrations, as well as the other illuminations, are taken
from MSS. in the British Museum. The Sakoontala was first made known to
the world, by the translation of Sir William Jones, in 17S0, and until this
event Sanskrit dramatic literature was unknown. Of all the Indian poets
the most celebrated was Kalidasa, who flourished in the middle of the century
preceding the Christian era. The translation by Monier Williams has long been
a favorite with Oriental scholars.

Rare and a genuine original subscription copy of this most magnificent
work. It was published at 400 francs, always maintained its price and now
being entirely out of print and very scarce has rapidly risen lo much greater
value. The inferior reissue in two volumes imperial octavo has raised the price
of the original. The engravings exhibit specimens of curious and beautiful
objects in Medijeval Art from all parts of Europe. There is, indeed, no other
publication giving such a faithful picture of everything connected with the Mid-
dle Ages, while as a drawing-room book none could surpass it in beauty and in-
terest.
Lacroix and Sere's " Moyen Age" is undoubtedly one of the most interest-
ing as well as splendid works yet published on the Arts of the Middle Ages, to
which it serves as a sort of encyclopedia. It exhibits choice specimens of archi-
tecture, sculpture, painting, furniture, stained glass, arms and armor, manu-

Scarce. " Gerard de [.airesse had the affliction of being deprived of his
sight in 1690, when he was only fifty years of age ; but such was his love for
the art that he continued to his death to communicate his ideas on the theory
and practice of it in discourses to the contemporary artists, from which were
collected the materials for the treatise on Design and Coloring, published after
his death. As an engraver, Gerard I-airesse claims particular notice. He
etched a great number of plates from his own designs, executed with great free-
dom and spirit ; the lights are broad and powerful and the eye is carried at once
to the principal figures of the composition." — Bryan.

Savage, late of the New York Metropolitan Musuem.
With 20 plates drawn by Meye. Square large folio, fresh
half morocco, cioth sides, top edge gilt N. Y., 1883
Published at twenty dollars. The sculptured monoliths of Copan and Quiri-
gud, reproduced in the plates, rank indisputably with the most interesting and
noteworthy monuments of tropical America. They clearly betray the end for
which they were produced — to display, embodied in stone, to the population
settled in these regions, and to band down to after generations the religious
ideas and traditions which reigned in the spiritual life of these people. The
number of places in Central America which at the present day attract attention
by the presence of these monoliths statues is by no means large— that is. if we
look for an assemblage of many such statues on one spot. In most of the bet-
ter known collections of ruins, the statues occur singly, or else, as in the case of
Santa Lucia Cosumalhualpa, the sculplurcd figures are represented exclusively
by reliefs.

well called — " l.'un des plus beaux monumens elevcs aux arts est, sans con-

I>aurent, jury considerant cet ouvrage comme le plus pariait qui ait eu lieu
depuis 1'existence de la gravure."
The set of the " Musec Francais" has both the text in French and English.
It includes the remark ible print of "the 1-aocoon " engraved by Bervic, and of
which proof impressions have been sold in London as high as £30, i.e., $150,
also Raffai llo's " Madonna de la Sedia," which may be called the masterpiece
of J. (i. Muller; the " Transfiguration " of Raffaello; " St. Cecilia "; " Infant

2 86 THE TRIVULZIO CATALOGUE.
The Musee Royal is in very fine order, and is on thick paper with the text as
published in French only. The plate of " Susanna at the Bath " is unfortunately
lacking, but can be easily obtained in Europe.
This Very interesting publication is undoubtedly the most magnificent work
ever issued from the Parisian press ; and it perpetuates the matchless collection
which formerly graced the Louvre, combining, as it did, nearly all the excel-
lence of which the various countries on the Continent could boast in painting
anJ sculpture. And although a chain of wonderful events has restored many
of the brightest gems of art to their rightful owners, so much of excellence still
remains, that the gallery of the louvre is yet, to the man of taste, the greatest
attraction in Paris, and the very circumstance of the dispersion of so many
wonderful productions gives additional value to the work which describes them
in a collected state. This work is not a mere collection of prints. It contains
many luminous and masterly dissertations upon the state of the arts in different
ages, observations upon the style, excellence and defects of the various schools
of pointing; a minute description of every painting, etc., drawn with extreme
care and correctness.

London, Henry Sotheran and Co., 1869
Sumptuous copy, colored by hand, and of which only 50 copies were exe-
cuted as above with hand-colored plates and large paper text. The publisher's
price for sets like the above has been £45, i. e., #225, without the U. S. duty,
about one half the cost of the original issue. These illustrations in water-colors
arc faithful copies of the original sketches, which were drawn and printed on the
spot. The figures which enliven each scene are all, both as regards their cos-
tumes and occupations, taken from the most trustworthy authorities, and are
introduced not merely as pictorial adjuncts, but from a desire to identify the
edifices they illustrate with the characters and habits of a people that have now
passed away, and to represent in some of its peculiarities, " the very age and
body of the time." No pictorico-architectural work was ever so immediately
successful on its publication as Nash's " Mansions," and this resulted not only
from the interesting specimens of the Grand Domestic Architecture of England
which were selected, but from their having been executed by a first-class
draughtsman, distinguished by very superior taste.
The following is the list of illustrations in this grand and sumpiuous work :

schop des Fredes, Cologne, 1580. Illustrated with numerous
curious symbolical engravings. 410, morocco gilt, edges
gilt. Cologne, etc., 1573-80
Unique, exceedinglv rare and original editions. Every page is ruled
around with red ink by hand, and there are inserted, in addition to the regular
engravings, a number of plates executed by R. Gaywood, 1656, and which
doubtless appeared in the English translations, and of which Lowndes says: —
" The works of Nicholas were by royal proclamation, 13 of October, 22nd
Elizabeth, ordered to be burnt and all persons declared punishable for having
them in their possession without the ordinarie's permission."
On the title of the tracts is the note — " The engravings by Gaywood." They
are of a symbolical character and almost as wild and fantastic in their conception
as the works of William Blake. They illustrate the doctrines and opinions of
the sect of the " Family of Love " of which Henry Nicholas was the founder in
the sixteenth century. The following is one author's account of this predecessor
of the English Agapemotie and Oneida Community of our own days:—" A
society similar in its aims and character, though not conventual in its form,
existed in England in the t6lh and 17th centuries. It was called the ' Family
of Love." Its founder is generally supposed to have been Henry Nicholas, a
native of Munster in Westphalia, but who lived a considerable time in Holland.
He held himself to be greater than Moses or Christ, for the former only taught
men to hope and the latter to believe, while he first announced the doctrine of
Love. He made his api>earance about 1 540. Others, however, are of opinion
that the real father of this ' Family' was one David George, a fanatical Ana-
baptist of Delft, in Holland, who died in 1556, and who imparted his ' damnable
errors' to Nicholas, an old friend of his. In the reign of Edward VI., according
to Fuller, Nicholas came over to England and commenced the perversion of silly
THE TK1VVLZ10 CATALOGUE.
people in a secret way. By 1572 they had apparently increased in numbers
considerably, for in that year one John Rogers published a work against them,
entitled ' The Displaying of an Horrible Secte of Grosse and Wicked Heretiques,
naming themselves the Family of Love, with the lives of their Authours, and
what Doctrine they teach in Comers.' In 1580, Queen Elizabeth issued a pro-
clamation for the hunting out and punishing of the ' damnable sect.' The Family
of Love, or ' Lust rather,' as old Fuller has it, tried to insinuate themselves into
the good graces of King James by presenting a petition, casting aspersions on
the Puritans. At length the society expired from a continual exposure to the
effects of ridicule in prose and verse, as well as from its own intrinsic worthlcss-
ness. Their doctrines seem to have been a species of pseudo-spiritual senti
mentalism, resulting in gross impurity."

London, Hullmandd, n. d.
" We owe to Samuel I'rout, I believe, the first conception and certainly the
only expression, of precisely the characters which were wanting to old art, of
that feeling which results from the influence among the noble lines of architec-
ture of rent and rust, the fissures, the lichen and the weed, and from the writ-
ings upon the pages of ancient walls, of the confused hieroglyphics of human
history. . . Kor numerous as have been his imitators, extended as his influence
and simple as his means and manner, there has as yet appeared nothing at all to
equal him. There is no stone drawing, no vitality of architecture like Proui's. "

Beyond the immediate subject of Reynolds and his works the volumes treat
liberally of the world of wisdom, wit, beauty and folly, which surrounded the
painter, sat to him. paid him. dined with him, and loved him. This was the
world of our grandfathers, so comprehensive as to include nearly every man and
woman of note; near enough to ourselves to have vital warmth even in ashes,
and to those who look on the work of the artist, instinct with life that cannot
perish while they remain.

Richardson " was a printer and bookseller, a joiner's son who, at the age of
fifty, and in his leisure moments, wrote in his shop parlor; alaborious man who,
by work and good conduct, had raised himself to a competency and sound in-
formation. . . . No one in this age has equalled him in detail and compre-
hensive conceptions."- — TainE.
" The power of Richardson's painting, in his deeper scenes of tragedy, never
has been, and probably never will be, excelled." — Sir Walter Scott.

on whii-h this artist has built his reputation. It is entitled. ' In the neighbor-
hood of the town of Colenzos, Northern Calabria.' The mountains, of which a
mass closes the middle distance, are most skillfully drawn and richly colored,

scenic study." — Art Journal.

manuscript domestic receipts, such as the making of flummery, curd puffs, Dutch

rocco, cloth sides. Augsburg, 1736
Very rare. John Elias Ridinger established himself at Augsbourg, where
he became an eminent designer and a painter of animals and huntings. His
works as a painter are few and arc little known excepting in his own country,
but in his numerous etchings from his own designs, he discovers an ability which
has seldom been surpassed. His compositions are ingenious and animated, and
he has given to each animal its own peculiar character and attitude with surpris-
ing expression and exactness.

beautiful lithographic plates colored in exact imitation of the
original drawings and by Lewis Hag he. 3 vols, square
large folio, fresh half morocco extra gilt, cloth sides, gilt
edges. London, F. G. Moon, 1842-49
Magnificent copy and originally published at ^121). i. $650. This copy
is in all respects in the finest possible state, and as is the case with all such, has
the large vignettes which in the usual copies are printed above the letter press,
printed on separate leaves like the larger plates.
The above has always held a prominent position among the many splendid
works published during ihe present century. It is valued no less for its artistic
execution, than for the deep and absorbing interest which attaches in the present
day to the subjects which it delineates. To the Oriental traveler it is a valuable
reminiscence of the spots that he has visited, and to those who are strangers to
the East it presents a faithful picture of the existing state of the Hible lands.
"Among the members of the Academy we have at present only one professedly
architectural draughtsman of note, David Roberts, whose reputation is probably
further extended on the continent than that of any other of our artists except
Landscer. . . '1 he fidelity in intention and honesty of system of Roberts have
been, however, always meritorious; his drawing of architecture is dependent on
no unintelligible lines or blots, or substituted types, the main lines of the real
design are always there, and its hollowness and undercutting given with exquisite
feeling. His sense of solidity of form is very peculiar, leading him to dwell
with great delight on the foundings of edges and angles; his execution is dex-
terous and delicate, singularly so, in oil: and his sense of chiaroscuro refined." —

Largest caper, unique, and the editor, Samuel Carter Hall's own picked
copy of the choicest impressions of the engravings, which number in all in the
different states — first, second and third — 321 impressions. The ordinary large

380 dollars.
That contained 144 plates only and in one state, but the above extraordinary

THE TRIVULZIO CATALOGUE.
copy of the largest paper issue, which is very limited, cannot be compared in con-
nection with ordinary examples. The first volume contains 86 plates including
engraved title and dedication; the second, Si plates, including engraved title;
the third, plates, including engraved title and dedication, and the fourth volume
76 plates.
Not only are many of these plates signed by the artists and engravers, but on
some of the impressions, in the early states, are notes by the artist. On the
engraving of " Undine" Maclisc writes— " considering the great labor of this
plate and for other considerations. I think Mr. Sharpe deserves much credit for
this production, — Daniel Maclise.'' On the "Ariel" plate, the artist writes—
" Being asked to state my opinion. I beg to say that 1 think Mr. Sharpe 's en-
graving highly satisfactory. — Henry J. Townsend." J. van l-erius, the artist of
the " First Bom." has written a number of notes in French on the plate of the
second state, and of which there are four states represented altogether. J. V.
Gibson on an engraver's proof of his "Cottage 1 lome " has written a large num-
ber of requests for changes in almost every part of the engraving. So with
many others.
With the Royal Gallery of Pictures, preserved in Buckingham Palace, the
private property of Queen Victoria, the public are not altogether unacquainted,
for at the request of the Directors of the British Institution, many of these paint-
ings have been permitted to enrich their annual exhibitions of the works of the
Old Masters. The taste and munificence of two successive sovereigns have pro-
duced a collection of pictures, genuine, interesting and splendid. Other galleries
may be more numerous, but none have been formed on principles of such severe
and scrutinizing selection. No picture is to be met with in Buckingham I 'ala.ee
whose history, from the artist's time to the present day, is doubtful ; none but
the tinest and purest specimens of genius— none but works whose inspiration
guided every line of the pencil — have been admitted.
Some of the pictures formed part of the well-known collection of Lady Holder-
ness ; some were selected from the galleries of Lord Rendlesham, and M.
Schmidt, of Amsterdam. The entire collection of Dutch pictures, which be-
longed to the late Sir Francis Baring, was secured for King George the Fourth,
as were also Rubens' " Portrait of his Wife," from a descendant of the artist,
and the splendid picture of the " Marriage of St. Catherine," by Van Dyck, from
the collection of M. de Burtin, of Brussels.
The late John Young, Esq.. whose descriptive catalogue of the galleries of
the Duke of Sutherland, the Marquis of Westminster, the Angerstein Collection,
etc., etc., justly hold so conspicuous a rank in the estimation of the amateur,
selected this series of subjects presented to the public under the title of " The
Royal Gallery of Pictures. It was his intention " to produce highly finished
etchings, with appropriate letter-press descriptions of the Dutch and Flemish
pictures, and some of our own school "; and he was engaged upon the work at
the time of his decease. Since that period the plates have been gradually pro-
gressing, in the hands of some of the most eminent engravers of the present day,
without regard to cost, having been chiefly executed by J. Burnet, S. W. Rey-
nolds, W. Greatbach, j. C. Allen. T. Jeavons. J. P. Quilley, and VV. J. Taylor,
from drawings made expressly for the work by royal permission.

carved oak cabinet. London, 1881
Edition de luxe. Number S3 of limited edition and being one of a few
extra copies printed on thick paper of the very FINEST QUALITY made spec-
ially for the work and for -presentation. There were only 1.000 copies printed
in all, and each of which was numbered. As each sheet of each volume was
printed the type was distributed. The volumes were thus not worked ofl from
stereotype plates but from the types direct.
The text chosen for this Edition de Luxe was that of Mr. Howard Staunton,
THE TRIVULZIO CATALOGUE.
"Certainly one of the Best Texts we have" (Alhcnumm, March It, 1881), and
it is printed in large, clear, new type.
The illustrations, eight hundred in number, by Sir John Gilbert. R.A. , with-
out doubt the finest draughtsman on wood of his time, were printed from the
Original Woixl Blocks on real China paper, by Messrs. R. Clay, Sons and Tay-
lor, and are mounted in the text. The portrait in the above set is newly en-
graved and altogether different in treatment to that used formerly in the Staun-
ton editions.
This superb edition of the works of the Bard of Avon is uniform in size and
type with the Edition de Luxe of the Works of Charles Dickens.
This number in its oak cabinet would be an ornament to any library. It
measures 3S inches long by 26 high and to deep. The cut above gives an
admirable idea of the Shakespeare in its case. At the top of the cabinet is
carved a head of Shakespeare from the Stratford bust and Drocshout portrait.
Below in the carved scroll work, which is conventional floriated Gothic, are the
initials " W. S." on a label. In the fillets on each side are carved -ornamenta-
tion representing masks of ''Comedy" and " Tragedy " with allusive designs
of musical instruments, chivalric weapons, etc.
The price in London for such a copy as the above is 50 guineas. «'. <■., $262. 50,
exclusive of 25 per cent. United States duty, which would bring the market
value of the set, in New York, up to the neighborhood of $330.

fac simile being done by photo lithography, can be relied on by scholars as abso-
lutely trustworthy.

Lionel Booth's careful fac-simile reprint of the far-famed text of the first
edition of Shakespeare, " intact as it was put forth in 1623."
As the text of the ' ' first folio " is continually referred to by Shakespearian
scholars as of the greatest authority, the value of this present reprint cannot be
overrated, the more so as perhaps no work was ever more sedulously watched
during its progress through the press in order that it might be a trustworthy
reflex of the rare and precious original, and as such it has been universally
accepted. Appended is an elaborate collation of the " first folio."
