"The plates, etched and drawn by Mr. Cotman, are recommended by a high degree of merit and interest; most of the subjects which this indefatigable artist has chosen are hitherto inedited monuments.

Translated from the Persian, with Notes, &c. by D. SHEA, and A. TROYER, 3 vols. 8vo. cloth, getting scarce, £2. 2s 1844 This is a work of great interest for all Oriental Scholars and Comparative Mythologists. Sir William Jones describes this work as containing "nore recondite learning, more entertaining history, more beautiful poetry, more ingenuity and wit, indecency and blasphemy, than he ever saw collected in a single volume." It contains an account of the old Persian, the Brahmin, the Buddhist, the Christian, the Sufi, and the Mohammedan religions, with their various sects; as well as a statement of their doctrines. It is most valuable for its exposition of the Zoroastrian creed, as this is based upon ancient Zend works now entirely lost.

The author's greatest work; originally written at twenty-one years of age, reprinted with changes and additions one year later; and finally given to the world in its complete form between Digby's Broad Stone of Honour-continued. 1829 and 1848, after he had embraced the ancient faith of Europe, and thereby found himself obliged to make considerable alterations in the text. The product of a highly sensitive and graceful genius, richly stored with learning, it stands in the same relation to the History of Chivalry as the works of Mr. Ruskin to the History of Art. No ancient romancer, nor yet Mr. Tennyson in our own time, has ever painted Knighthood in such beautiful shape and delicate colouring; and the enthusiasm which breathes throughout the work reveals the nature of the author himself as dentical with the type he portrays. In spite of the vast knowledge of olden times and mediæval literature which is visible in every passage of his book, there is no mouldiness of antiquity, no dust or rust, on the mirror of his intellect; his style is simple and unaffected; and to any mind, in which high and noble thoughts can ever harbour, the reading of the Broad Stone of Honour will be as delightful and full of charm as the Earlier Romances of Chivalry.

A facsimile reproduction of such a series of engravings-the masterpieces of the greatest of all German artists-ought to be hailed with gladness by those who know the fame of Dürer, and the extreme difficulty of obtaining his original works even at a very high cost. The great and little Passion, by Dürer, are in preparation. Durer's Engraved Works, folio, 104 of the most superb Engravings and Etchings, on Copper and Steel, by this the greatest of all German Artists, reproduced in facsimile, giving all the brilliancy of the original first impressions, with a German text by LÜBKE, in parts, £7. 7s Nuremberg, 1877 |
