frontispiece of this catalogue. Multiplied by three it will be perceived that Sanuto's Geography is a large folio. A few copies of Part I of our Bibliotheca Geographica have been printed on thicker paper, and have been illustrated with about four hundred photograms of the chief books, manuscripts and maps to be sold in the collection. The photograms are laid down on about one hundred leaves like that of the frontispiece, the whole well bound by Pratt, making a thick octavo volume of some pretension and no little interest to the bibliographer. Those who wish to pursue this subject further may perhaps be aided by procuring of the author one of these illustrated copies, price five guineas. We shall be happy to give further information on this subject to any gentleman who is interested in it, or to supply samples of our photograms or photobibliographic cards.

An apology is perhaps due to scholars for the many blunders, ignorances and typographical errors scattered through this our catalogue. Some of them are the printer's, and are easily corrected, but most of them are our own, and lie deeper. They escaped us in our one proof. We did not indulge in a revise, but we neither point them out nor apologize, believing it better to let the generous critic have the pleasure of finding them himself, and crowing. We can find, no doubt, two to his one, but it is only an auction catalogue and is not worth the trouble. Let him that is without errata in his own life indulge. Our Part II of this Bibliotheca Geographica is in course of preparation, the pagenation and numbers to be continued on from this. Our Essay on the Progress of Geography will accompany it.

Jefferys, London, 1756 There is, we believe, no book of about this date and size that can be compared with this for valuable geographical and bibliographical information respecting Canada, Nova Scotia and Acadia.

The two valuable maps on the same scale, show clearly what is claimed by each party.
