Cf. Catal. of the Phillipps Coll., no. 404. An original colored copy of the Antiquities of Mexico, given by Kingsborough to Phillipps, was offered of late years by Quaritch at £70-£100; it was published at £175. The usual colored copies sell now for about £40-£60; the uncolored for about £30-£35. It is usually stated that two copies were printed on vellum (British Museum, Bodleian), and ten on large paper, which were given to crowned heads, except one, which was given to Obadiah Rich. Squier, in the London Athenæum, Dec. 13, 1856 (Allibone, p. 1033), drew attention to the omission of the last signature of the Hist. Chichimeca in vol. ix.
