Paris, J. P. Aillaud, 1819

The table of contents is of 48 livraisons on one leaf, and livraisons 49 and 50 on a separate slip.

In comparingthese two copies, I have been unable to see any difference between the two issues. The impressions of both copies are brilliant. Brunet says that livraisons 49 and 50, appeared in 1821; the dates of both the above four volumes are before that date, and their Table of contents differs. 3048 FLORIAN (J.P.

The most complete book of reference to the Ornithology of Europe, and one that should be in every nobleman's and gentleman's 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, Mrs. Gould, and Mrs. Lear, are represented in the most life-like and characteristic attitudes, while the large size 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.

1846-51

The Phycologia Britannica,' forms a complete illustrated history of all the Sea-Weeds inhabiting the shores of the British Islands; an entire plate, with a few exceptions in which it is unnecessary, being appropriated to each species. In addition to a characteristic figure of the specimen of the natural size, the detail of fructification and growth is exhibited in different degrees of magnitude, with that fidelity and minuteness, for the delineation of which the author is alone competent, from his knowledge of their structure, developed by the improved powers of the microscope. To effect a proper degree of delicacy in the figures, each subject is printed in its own tone of colour, the shades and varieties of tint being added by the pencil; and of the letter-press two pages are devoted to each plate or species, including generic and specific characters and ample descriptions, geographical distribution, synonymes, references, and a general summary of observations.

The beauty, variety, and extraordinary delicacy of colour of the marine Algæ have ever rendered this tribe of plants a favourite object of study; but hitherto a serious want has been felt of an adequately illustrated work, devoted to these plants. The admirable figures by Greville, comprise but a few of the most remarkable species while the plates in the English Botany,' are, in several instances, drawn from imperfect specimens, and do not afford that justice to the subject which modern discoveries and improvements render necessary.

The Batrachomyomachia and Hymni are paged 427 to 498, and in all probability were intended to be attached to an edition of the Odyssea contemplated by Turnebus, but never printed. Only three or four copies of this portion are known, the rest having been probably destroyed as waste paper, and are of such extraordinary rarity that Regnaud-Bretel's copy sold for 451 francs.

Londini, Johannes Pine, 1733

A vague notion exists that there are only two issues of Pine's Horace, the firat issue with the error on Cæsar's Head, Vol. II. page 108, "Postest; " the second issue, the error corrected into "Potest."' This is only half the truth. Pine's coppers were worked perhaps a dozen times, and as recently as 1775 a number of impressions were taken, after which they seem to have disappeared.

The present copy is a very early one, with Pine's original printed prospectus and list of subscribers, 6 leaves, and 4 specimen leaves, proofs before the issue of the work. The copy has of course the "Postest."
