Note 19 — PART I. AMERICANA IN LIBRARIES AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES.

This collection is also embraced in the Catalogue of the College Library already referred to. Mr. Warden began the collection of another library, which he used while writing the American part (10 vols.) of the Art de vérifier des Dates, Paris, 1826-1844, and which (1,118 works) was afterward sold to the State Library at Albany for $4,000. Dr. Henry A. Homes, the librarian at Albany, informs me that when arranged it made twenty-one hundred and twenty-three volumes. Warden’s Bibliotheca Americana, Paris, 1831, reprinted at Paris in 1840, is a catalogue of this collection. Mr. Warden died in 1845, aged 67. Cf. Ludewig in the Serapeum, 1845, p. 209; Muller, Books on America (1872), no. 1734; Allibone, iii. 2,579; S. G. Goodrich, Recollections, ii. 243; Jackson’s Bibl. Géog., nos. 617, 618; Trübner, Bibliographical Guide, p. xiv. There was a final sale of Mr. Warden’s books by Horatio Hill, in New York, in 1846.
