£10 REWARD. A Mystery. A valuable volume of ITALIAN DRAWINGS, consisting of Ornamental Letters, by Vichomercato, temp. 1450, 1 vol. folio, bound in vellum, which my packer says he put into a small box, along with other MSS. and books, sent by steamer, July 3, 1867, to Ireland, has not reached its destination.

I am at a loss to know what has become of this volume: whether the box has been opened during the transit, or whether the volume was mis-packed.

My packer is most positive that he placed it in the box.

£10 reward will be given to the person who restores this volume to me:-and no questions asked. B. QUARITCH.

All the early volumes are out of print in Calcutta, and sell there at exorbitant prices. The Bengal Journal is a continuation of the "Asiatic Researches;" it is a most valuable periodical, devoted to Oriental Literature, Science, Antiquities, Geography, &c. No public library can do without this important work; it forms, with the Asiatic Researches, one of the noblest monuments of British dominion in the East.

AUDUBON and BACHMAN.-QUADRUPEDS of NORTH AMERICA, complete, 3 vols. atlas folio, and descriptive Text in 3 vols. roy. 8vo. 150 magnificent plates, the Animals richly coloured from nature, with appropriately coloured back-grounds of Trees or Forest Scenery, hf. bound morocco, gilt edges, scarce, £68. New York, published by J. J. Audubon, 1845-54 The worthy companion of Audubon's great work on Birds. There is no equally grand work on Mammals published in Europe. A public Institution should secure the above copy.

This extremely rare book was published in 14 Lieferungen, each with one leaf of text and 4 superb plates; the last part, which is Supplementary, has an extra plate, and carries the Series beyond "Philip the Handsome." I can trace the sale of no copy in England or on the Continent. Brunet's statement of 22 parts and 66 plates is erroneous.

"This is without question the greatest botanical work of the present age, Mr. Bateman has got it up perfectly regardless of expense, and would be a considerable loser even had the edition been published at double the price.

A very valuable and interesting chronicle, published here for the first time, after having for three centuries and a half shared the neglect and obscurity which Antonio deplored as the fate of all good early writers. Bernaldez was an eyewitness of the events that he describes, and on intimate terms with Ponce de Leon and the other great men of the time. Not the least interesting part of his work is the description of the Discovery of America, and his account of COLUMBUS, WHOM HE ALSO KNEW AND ADMIRED. He calls him a "Mercader de libros de estampa," which is more likely to be a correct designation than that usually given to the great navigator.
