So far, the most extensive list of books on this subject. Mr. Field has devoted many years to the acquisition of the books, and his notes, which are numerous, convey much valuable information concerning not only the books, but the Indians themselves. "This bibliographical handbook, embracing a collection of about 1800 works, may be considered the chief, if not the only one of its kind. The author's notes are judicious and valuable, and have an interest beyond even the actual subject of the Essay. Collectors of Americana of every kind will derive pleasure and profit from a labour that evinces a wide range of study and experience."--B. QUARITCH.

The titles and collations in this otherwise good work are unusually redundant.

[HARRISSE (Henry).] Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima A Description of Works relating to America published between the Years 1492 and 1551 Imp. 8vo, pp. (8), liv, 519. _New-York Geo. P. Philes_, MDCCCLXVI

Four hundred copies printed in imperial 8vo, one hundred and nine in 4to, ten of which are on Holland paper. It was undertaken at the suggestion of Mr. S. L. M. Barlow, of New York, and contains the titles of over three hundred books. As a specimen of American typography, it has probably never been surpassed. In regard to its merits it has received at the hands of some members of the Geographical Society of Paris very high praise, of which an English version (in part) will be found in Stevens' _Bibliotheca Historica_, followed by some rather severe criticism on the work by Mr. Stevens, who, writing in the third person, quotes largely from an article in the _Athenæum_ of the 6th of October, 1866, of which Mr. Stevens is the author. The writer of this notice does not presume to enter into a controversy with, or a criticism upon, the works of either of these bibliographers, but he cannot help regretting that a work so elaborate, learned, and useful to the American bibliographer, as this _Bibliotheca Americana_ is, should have been the vehicle of any exhibition of personal pique. We have been assured on very good authority that the blunder of "Ander Schiffahrt's" was really due to the proof-reader, and that the Index, in which Schiffahrt (Ander) is made to appear once more in _propria persona_, was not the work of Mr. Harrisse at all. Let it suffice for us to remark that for the student of the earliest of books relating to America, this book is indispensably necessary. We may add that Mr. Harrisse has, in some instances, quoted works from White Kennett's _Bibliothecæ Americanæ Primordia_, and made the remark that he has found nothing in the works so quoted relating to America. This has arisen from the fact that he has misapprehended the nature of that work, which purposely introduces many books which had no relation to America. The following is a continuation:

[HARRISSE.] Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima A Description of Works relating to America published between the Years 1492 and 1551 Additions Imp. 8vo, pp. (iv), 40, 199, (1). _Paris Librairie Tross_ M.DCCC.LXXII

Two hundred copies printed in 8vo, and fifty copies in 4to. In the matter of printing and paper this volume exceeds in beauty that of its predecessor. Its contents cover the same ground; some titles contained in the former work are further elaborated, and many are entirely new. It will, perhaps, not be saying too much that many of them are only remotely related to America, but the author's careful researches and elaborate dissertations have combined to render the volume a very desirable addition to an American bibliographical collection.

[HARRISSE.] A Brief Disquisition Concerning the Early History of Printing in America. Imp. 8vo. _New York: Privately Printed._ 1866.

Twenty-five copies printed, of which five are on drawing paper. Forms part of the introduction to the _Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima_. A Spanish version has been printed.

[HARRISSE.] Fernand Colomb Sa Vie, ses Œuvres Essai critique par l'auteur de la Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima. Imp. 8vo, pp. (vii), 230, (1). _Paris_ M DCCC LXXII

Two hundred and fifty copies printed, of which twenty-five are on Whatman's paper.

[HARRISSE.] Notes on Columbus. Sm. folio, pp. vii, 227. 13 Photographs. _New York: Privately Printed._ 1866.

Ninety copies only printed for presentation, at the expense of Samuel L. M. Barlow, of New York. It is one of the finest specimens of printing by the Riverside Press, and having been privately printed, is as rare as it is beautiful. It is both bibliographical and historical, and in each department is a specimen of seal and erudition.

[HARRISSE.] Notes pour servir à l'histoire, à la bibliographie et à la cartographie de la Nouvelle-France et des pays adjacents 1540-1700 Par l'auteur de la Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima Cr. 8vo, pp. (6), xxxiii, (1), 367. _Paris Librairie Tross_ 1872

This is a capital resumé of the Bibliography of Canada up to 1700. The volume is very handsomely printed; some copies are on vellum paper, and others on Dutch paper. The following should have appeared under Desjardins: "Rapports sur les Deux Ouvrages de Bibliographie Américaine de M. Henri Harisse Avocat. Par M. Ernest Desjardins lu à la Séance de la Commission Centrale, le 18 Janvier 1867." 8vo, pp. 20. _Paris Imprimerie de E. Martinet_ 1867.

HARTSHORNE (C. H.) The Book Rarities in the University of Cambridge. Illustrated by Original Letters, and Notes, Biographical, Literary, and Antiquarian. By Rev. C. H. Hartshorne, M.A. 8vo, pp. xiv, (1), 559. 22 Engravings. _London: Longman._ 1829.

Twenty-five copies printed in imperial 8vo on large vellum paper. The original letters in this volume form a very interesting portion of its contents. Those of Ciofanus are filled with abuse of Aldus Junior, whom he terms _la Cornacchia Esopea_, and of whose literary ability he speaks very slightingly. It also includes a reprint of _Capell's Shakesperiana_.

[HARTSHORNE.] A Geyfte ffor the Neue Yere: or, a playne, plesaunte, and profytable Pathewaie to the Black Lettre Paradyse. Sq. 18mo. _Cambridge._ 1825.

This amusing bibliographical squib is written by "Carolus Henricus Hartshorne," in whose hand the memorandum of the number of copies printed is given on the fly-leaf. It appears from this that only twenty were printed, and probably in a private manner for presentation. The spelling and printing are equally ancient in style, and the whole discourse, ending with the poem, runs upon black letter and other antique lore.

HUMPHREYS (H. N.) A History of the Art of Printing, from its Invention to its wide-spread Development in the Middle of the 16th Century. Preceded by a Short Account of the Origin of the Alphabet, and of the successive Methods of Recording Events and Multiplying Ms. Books before the Invention of Printing. By H. Noel Humphreys.... With One Hundred Illustrations.... Imp. 4to, pp. 224. 105 Plates. _London: Bernard Quaritch._ 1867.

The first issue consisted of three hundred copies only. The publisher's certificate to that effect is usually inserted in the work. "The illustrations of this work, which, unlike facsimiles produced by hand, must _necessarily_ be absolute reproductions of their originals, exceed one hundred in number, and frequently consist of representations of entire pages from many of the most interesting books produced by the early printers. Among them may be mentioned an entire folio page from the first printed Bible, the magnificent work of Gutenberg, richly adorned with ornamental borderings by a contemporary German illuminator. An entire page from the celebrated Psalter of Schæffer, in which the large capitals are printed in colours, in rivalry with the illuminators of the time. Pages from the first books printed in Italy, France, Spain, Flanders, and Holland, accompany the accounts of the introduction of the printing press to those countries; and several such entire pages in facsimile illustrate the description of the works of William Caxton, the founder of the printing press in England. In addition to these and many illustrations of other kinds, will be found a very interesting and an abundant series of examples from the most richly decorated of the French 'Horæ,' and from the profusely illustrated German books produced in the first half of the sixteenth century." The copies dated 1868 are somewhat inferior as regards the plates.

HUMPHREYS. Master Pieces of the Early Printers & Engravers. A Series of Facsimiles from Rare and Curious Books remarkable for Illustrative Devices, Beautiful Borders, Decorative Initials, Printers Marks, Elaborate Title-pages, &c. By H. Noel Humphreys, ... Imp. 4to. _London: H. Sotheran & Co._ 1870.

First issued in parts, which are preferable for the early impressions of the seventy curious plates. "The great beauty of many of the books produced by the Early Printers, both at regards the remarkable and various character of their Types, and the exquisitely designed Initials and Borderings with which their pages are enriched, is scarcely known and appreciated beyond the narrow circle of enthusiastic bibliographers who have made the first works that issued from the printing press a subject of special study; and it is to make them more widely known that the present work has been projected. The greater part of the examples are now published for the first time, and have never appeared in any other bibliographical work. They comprise designs by Wohlgemuth, Durer, Burgemair, Cranach, and others equally celebrated."

This valuable work is too often regarded merely as a book for printers, whereas it contains more information respecting early printed books than is to be found in any other and more costly volumes. Its real compiler was Mr. Richard Thomson, Librarian of the London Institution, who was assisted by Dibdin, Wilkins, Baber, and other well known bibliographers. It was issued in three different sizes, the largest being known as the Roxburghe Edition with Portraits on India paper.

By a Member of the said Society. 4to, pp. (2), xvi, iii, 275, (224). _London: J. Churchill._ 1713.

There are copies on large paper. "In this short catalogue will be found about twenty original tracts relating to Newfoundland; above fifty concerning Virginia; one hundred, or more, of New England: and so on in proportion to the colonies."--_Preface._ "This, as far as it goes, is the best Catalogue of Books relating to America extant, the titles being copied at full length with the greatest exactness, together with name of the printer, and the number of pages in each volume. It unfortunately contains only the books given to the society by White Kennett, Bishop of Peterborough. It is rich in English tracts relating to New England."--RICH. The collection to which it refers has disappeared--some scattered and neglected remains were found a few years since among the archives of the Society at Lambeth.

By Gerard Langbaine. 8vo. _Oxford._ 1691.

"A work which, for an age that offered small facility or encouragement to the prosecution of researches in the field of early English Literature, was one of _extraordinary_ merit."--HALLIWELL. "Of the several early Catalogues of the English stage, Langbaine's only is to be implicitly relied on for to fidelity."--LOWNDES.

Dr. Dibdin justly terms this work a "Standard authority on matters of Biblical Literature." There is scarcely an edition of the Bible extant in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, or Polyglots, but it is accurately described, and all textual, as well as typographical variations, pointed out; it is perhaps the most perfect Manual of Biblical Bibliography extant. The first edition was _Parisiis._ 1709. 2 vols., 8vo.

LE LONG. Bibliothèque Historique de la France, contenant le Catalogue des Ouvrages, imprimés & manuscrits, qui traitent ... de ce Royaume; ... augmentée par M.

This is perhaps the most laborious and most able bibliographical work which has ever appeared. It is scarcely possible to find a volume or a manuscript in any way connected with French history which is not fully described, and it frequently gives curious details respecting English historians. Brunet remarks "Cet ouvrage et un des travaux les plus essentiels qu'ait produit la science bibliographique, et il doit se trouver dans tous les Bibliothèques."

"The author of this work, probably the first which contains a Catalogue of Books on America, afterwards took the surname of Pinelo. The following enlarged edition by Barcia is so clumsily thrown together that it is quite a relief to refer from it to this neat and well-arranged little manual."--RICH.

This very excellent catalogue was the joint labors of Messrs. Upcott, Brayley, and Thompson, to whom great credit is due for the able manner in which they have performed so long and tedious a task.

A most valuable index to serial literature, discontinued from want of public appreciation and support.

LOWNDES (W. T.) The Bibliographer's Manual of English Literature, containing an account of Rare, Curious, and Useful Books, published in or Relating to Great Britain and Ireland, from the Invention of Printing; with Bibliographical and Critical Notices, Collations of the Rarer Articles, and the Prices at which they have been sold in this Present Century. By William Thomas Lowndes. 4 vols., 8vo, pp. xii, 2002. _London: William Pickering._ MDCCCXXXIV.

First published as a serial; Part 1. is dated 1828. Invaluable to the collector or librarian. The type of this is larger than that of the following edition:

LOWNDES. [Same Title.] New Edition, Revised, Corrected and Enlarged, By Henry G. Bohn. 6 vols., 8vo, pp. 2746. _London: Henry G. Bohn._ 1857-69.

Issued in eleven parts, each of which contains some preliminary, explanatory, or exculpatory notice by Mr. Bohn. It is much to be regretted that the earlier part of the work does not include the same ratio of additions as the later, and book-collectors, in general, would have been pleased to pay a higher price for a handsomer book. Mr. Bohn's name as editor did not appear on the first title to Vol. 1. Power remarks "A good guide to Mr. Bohn's various reprints and 'Libraries,' and the appendix is a carefully-compiled list of the publications of the Book-printing Clubs, the private presses, such as Strawberry Hill, Lee Priory, &c., and the rare reprints of Collier, Halliwell, Maidment, Turnbull, and others. _The Bibliographer's Manual_ is a work which, for want of a better, no English book-lover can do without. The first edition has the advantage of Mr. Bohn's, being printed in more legible type." Later issues bear the name of _Bell & Daldy_ as publishers. In 1869, two hundred and fifty copies were printed on large paper, in 6 vols., cr. 8vo. The statement that one hundred copies were printed on large paper, which appears on that number of copies which were sent to America, is, to say the least, an abbreviation of the truth. Mr. Bohn's eleven prefatory notices, which to some extent explain the nature and extent of his labors, have been omitted in the large paper copies, both editions being in other respects exactly the same. There is no substitute for _The Bibliographer's Manual_; undertaken originally to supply an obvious desideratum felt by all readers and book-buyers, it forms at once a key to the riches of English literature for the student, and a guide in the formation of a library for the collector. In its present enlarged form it comprises notices of upwards of one hundred thousand distinct books published in Great Britain and Ireland, but it is susceptible of much improvement.

LOWNDES. The British Librarian, or Book Collector's Guide to the formation of a Library, in all Branches of Literature, ... With Prices, Critical Notes, References, and an Index of Authors and Subjects.... By William T. Lowndes. 8vo, 1320 columns. _London: Whittaker and Co._ 1839-42.

Eleven parts; comprising "Religion and its History," being all that were published. It is a valuable Bibliography of Theological Literature; its completion was prevented by the death of the author.

LOWNDES. Shakespeare and his Commentators, from Lowndes' Bibliographer's Manual. 8vo. Portrait. _London._ 1831.

Fifty-two copies printed--not for sale. This was reproduced with additions as below:

Nosso Senhor por Diogo Barbosa Machado. 4 vols., folio, pp. (80), 767, Portrait; (2), 927; (2), 799; (6), 725. _Lisboa, Off. de Fonseca._ 1741-59.

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.
