The extreme rarity of this great work, the highest authority upon Portuguese bibliography, arises from the circumstance that a large proportion of the first three volumes perished by fire at Lisbon in 1755. See Petzholdt, p. 381.

To collectors of works, containing early or local proverbs, a study as entertaining, as useful to the etymologist, this manual will be found indispensable, as there are many works, particularly among those early printed, which contain proverbs among other matter, though not clearly stated in the title; it is, in fact, a very extensive chronological list of proverbial works, and a collection of proverbs in all languages.

A work contemplated by the late Samuel Sotheby, and carried out by his Son Samuel Leigh Sotheby. 3 vols., 8vo, pp. (4), xvi, 200; (2), 216; (2), 190, (27). 121 Plates.

London: Printed for the Author. M,DCCC,LVIII.

Two hundred and fifty copies printed. The two leaves, subsequently printed, giving an account of the sale of the edition at auction, at the upset price of £9 per set, should be added, "a result," says Mr. Sotheby "unparalleled in the annals of literature." One of the most important works ever produced upon the history of early printing, on which it throws great additional light. It contains an extended examination of the various editions of the block books (or books printed from wooden blocks), the earliest productions of the art, issued in Holland, Flanders, and Germany, such as the Apocalypsis S. Johannis, Biblia Pauperum, Ars Moriendi, Cantica Canticorum, Liber Regum, Temptationes Dæmonum, Ars Memorandi, Endkrist, Quindecim Signa, De Generatione Christi, Miribilia Romæ, etc. It is not, however, confined to a history of block books, for it gives minute accounts, accompanied by exact facsimiles, of some of the most interesting and rare works printed with movable type in the infancy of the art, such as the Donatuses, Doctrinale, Catonis Disticha, Horarium, Facetiæ, Morales, Speculum Humanæ Salvationis, Bartolomæus van de Proprietaten der Dinghen, Exhortatio contra Turcos, Literæ Indulgentiarum, etc.

It contains 100 facsimile plates of the productions of the early printers, with the initials colored and illuminated in gold, in imitation of the originals, besides nearly 100 cuts on wood of paper-marks, etc. It will be found a very useful work with which to identify the books which have neither name of printer or place of printing.

London: Printed by Whittingham and Wilkins ... MDCCCLXII

"Printed in the best style of the Chiswick Press, regardless of time, it comprises 2934 titles given in full, with the collation and price of each work. It was intended as far as it went to be a manual for collectors of this expensive class of books. But it did not go very far, containing as it does, not a selection, but only such books as the author happened to possess at that time. It was intended to supply the deficiencies by additional volumes, but these have never appeared, and probably never will in this form."—Author. A few copies were issued in 1858 with a different title. See Petzholdt, p. 812.

[Stevens.] Bibliotheca Americana. A Catalogue of Books relating to the History and Literature of America.... Sold by Puttick and Simpson. 8vo, pp. vi, 273.

Also on large paper, rl. 8vo. This catalogue contains 2415 lots, with collations, etc., and will be useful to the collector. It is, in fact, an abridgment of Stevens' Historical Nuggets, although the latter was not published till 1862. It is one of the most carefully prepared auction catalogues ever issued.

"The pleasure we have experienced in perusing these sheets, has been considerably heightened by our confidence in the accuracy of the contents (Major Stewart giving notes and references from the most authentic materials), and from the modest, unassuming manner in which the whole is written. The work Major Stewart proposed to write was one of great curiosity to all classes of readers, and a desideratum of real consequence to Oriental scholars."—British Critic.

This catalogue, now rare, contains much more than that by Triphook. See Notes and Queries, Second Series, XII. 77. Mr. Stewart's catalogues of his own stock are replete with valuable bibliographical and critical notices. It is no exaggeration to say that in the departments of literature to which Mr. Stewart has given special attention he is the best living authority.
