BEG RESPECTFULLY TO ANNOUNCE THAT THEY WILL SHORTLY PUBLISH A NEW EDITION OF

Gregson's Portfolio of Fragments,

Relative to the History and Antiquities, Topography and Genealogies of the County Palatine and Duchy of Lancashire, Embellished with numerous Engravings of Views, Seats, Arms, Seals, and Antiquities. Third Edition, with additions and improvements, edited by JOHN HARLAND, F. S. A., Editor of the forthcoming New Edition of "Baines' History of Lanchashire," and of many works of Lanchashire Antiquities.

This Edition will be printed on the finest paper by Clark, Edinburgh, and will address itself, by the great local interest it possesses, to Lancashire people in all parts of the world. The work is replete with family pedigrees, portraits, arms, &c. Notwithstanding the great cost which, as a matter of course, must be incurred in the production of so elaborate a volume, the price will be as moderate as possible, so as to bring it within the means of a very large number of the inhabitants of the county palatine.

Lowndes, in his Bibliographer's Manual, says, "This book was originally published in 1817, in three parts, at £4 4s., and so far is complete. But in 1824 it was re-issued as a second edition, with a new title, a supplementary portion of plates, and starred pages, forming a fourth part, which was also published separately at £2 An Index was announced,

but never published."

Thus it would appear that the original published price of the entire Work was six guineas, advanced after March 1825 to ten guineas and a half, and this the present publishers propose to offer in a vastly superior form to the former editions at £3 13s. 6d.

The great deficiency of the former editions is, as alluded to by Lowndes, the want of an Index. The new edition will contain not only a copious general Index, but also a special Index to the coats of arms.

One of the chief characteristic features of this Work is that it contains the largest collection in print of engraved coats of arms of Lancashire families, as well as many of Cheshire, Yorkshire, and other counties. For the want of a special Index to the coits of arms, these have hitherto remained almost a sealed book, unless by means of a long and fatiguing search through about 580 pages. This defect will be supplied in the present edition by a full Index to the

coats of arms.

The size of the book will be similar to the former editions, viz. foolscap folio; but a small imppression will be printed on Large Paper; in this latter it is intended to print the names of subscribers to it. As in the case of " Baine's Lancashire," and "Roby's Traditions of Lancashire," a limited number only will be printed; and those who wish to secure copies should make early application to the publishers.

AMERICANA !

CATALOGUE OF THE PRIVATE LIBRARY of Mr. W. Elliot Woodward, Roxbury, Mass. The Catalogue will contain some 600 pages, containing upwards of 6,000 titles, consisting almost

Exclusively of American Books,

and specially rich in scarce pamphlets. Of Local Histories, there are nearly or quite 500 titles; of Washingtoniana, upwards of 300 titles, a large part of which are memorials of Washington's death; of Eulogies pronounced on that occasion, there are nearly 200. We think it may safely be said that the collection of Washingtoniana is unequalled. The memorials of the death of the late President Lincoln are still more numerous, comprising nearly everything published concerning that event in book or pamphlet form.

The collection contains a great number of books by early New England authors, upwards of fifty by the Mathers, several by Elliot, not to mention many names hardly less prominent. One feature is, nearly a complete collection of the early works relating to Salem Witchcraft in New England, comprising Mather's Wonders of the Invisible World, a work which it is believed has never before been offered at auction in America; Colef's "More Wonders," probably the finest known copy; Mather's Cases of Conscience, hardly less rare than the Wonders, and others equally desirable. Indian Captivities are largely represented, also other matters relating to the Indians. From more than a hundred titles we select for notice, Wheeler's Thankful Remembrance of God's Mercy, quarto, Boston, 1676, a book so rare that Gov. Hutchinson, whose ancestor fell at Brookfield, could not, in his day, find a copy in the country. Both of the early editions of Hubbard's Indian Wars, as well as nearly every edition since published. A collection of American Trials is also a noticeable feature.

Concerning a library so varied in character, but little idea can be given in the limit of an advertisement, but an examination of the catalogue will at once make manifest the fact that the collection is one of most remarkable character, consisting, in great part, of books which are seldom offered for sale.

This Sale will commence Monday, April 19,

and continue daily, in order of the Catalogue, until all is sold, at 4 o'clock p. m., each day.

J. SABIN & SONS, Publishers, 84 Nassau Street, N. Y.

The sale of what the catalogue compiler calls "The Entire Private Library of the late Hon. Albert G. Greene, formerly resident of Providence, R. I., and more recently of Cleveland, Ohio," commenced at the auction rooms of Messrs. Bangs, Merwin & Co., on Monday, March 29th, and lasted one week.

The catalogue is a portly volume of 521 pages, describing 6742 lots of books and pamphlets.

Its preparation must have occupied months, but the result is a complicated affair-neither alphabetical nor classified, but a little of both. The cover gives an epitome of the contents in the following advertisement :

"This LIBRARY embraces an immense number of volumes, many of which concern the EARLY HISTORY OF AMERICA,-and of PAMPHLETS and other works that were printed in New England, relating to its history, especially to that of the State of Rhode Island. It also comprehends an unusual collection of AMERICAN POETRY, rare volumes of early ENGLISH POETRY, and SCARCE BOOKS in the various departments of American and European Literature."

Then comes the "Notice" in the same elegant style :

"The present Catalogue comprises the entire Private Library of Judge Greene, with the exception of duplicate volumes of the same edition. No books have been added to the collection for sale.t

"Judge Greene's Library was collected for his own use, and is singularly varied and extensive. A man of delicate literary taste, it is not strange that in it are to be found many volumes of rare English Poetry not commonly met with. His antiquarian collection also led him to perfect, as far as he might, his collections relating to American History, and especially to that of his native State. His collection of Pamphlets was large and carefully arranged."

"The special feature of his Library, and the one by which it was the most widely known, is the department of American Poetry, which is catalogued by itself. It is probably the largest collection existing of that department.

"The books are supposed to be perfect and in fair condition unless otherwise noted The American books are mostly in the same

*We are not informed as to the Public Library, if any.

This is intended to mean that all the books described belong to the estate.

This is perhaps a novel feature.

Certainly the rare books could not be 'common.'
