Antonio and De Backer quote the edition of Rome, printed in the same year, but make no mention of this of Seville. Graesse thought that the 1619 QUICHUA-continued. edition was the first. Ludewig seems to be the only bibliographer to whom this edition was really known; the few others who mention it, doing so merely on his authority, and with evident doubt of its existence. I can find no record of the sale of any other copy of this exceedingly rare work, than the present. 30211 TORRES RUBIO, Arte, y Vocabulario de la lengua Quichua general de los Indios de el Perú; añadio el P.

Mexico, 1816-21 EXCESSIVELY RARE. It contains a biography of nearly 4000 writers, with a bibliography of the works of each. Part of the second and third volumes are edited by Rafael Enriquez Trespalacios Beristain, a relative of the author, who died before the work was finished. "Le catalogue des ouvrages de Beristain est fort nombreux. Il passa toujours pour un ami des lettres, mais d'un servilisme extravagant. Une note manuscrite à son article, dans l'exemplaire de ma collection, dit de lui ces mots : Beristain fué el hombre mas servil que parió madre! Lastima que fuera mi paisano! L'auteur de cette note, Juan Evangelista Guadalajara, ainsi qu'il se fait connaître dans cet exemplaire qui lui appartint avant moi, en a surchargé les marges, aussi bien que les pages blanches, en tête et en queue des trois volumes, d'un grand nombre d'annotations, de rectifications et d'articles supplémentaires qui seraient des plus utiles pour une seconde édition du Beristain. Ces annotations, faites par un homme parfaitement au courant des hommes et des choses de son pays, en font un exemplaire non seulement précieux, mais unique. Il s'y trouve en outre quatorze portraits gravés ou lithographiés tirés de différentes publications."-Brasseur de Bourbourg. 30218 BIBLIOTHECA AMERICANA, a chronological Catalogue of the most curious books, pamphlets, papers, etc. upon America, from the earliest period, in print and MS. 4to. bds. 15s 1789 This work, although a mean performance by the side of Bishop Kennett's, must be found on the shelves of bibliography in any good American library. 30219 BRASSEUR DE BOURBOURG, Bibliothèque Mexico-Guatémalienne, précédée d'un coup d'oeil sur les Etudes Américaines, roy. 8vo. sd. 7s 6d 1871 30220 CAMUS, Mémoire sur les Grands et Petits Voyages (de DE BRY) et les Voyages de Thevenot, 4to. calf, 12s Paris, 1802 An admirable bibliography of the collection of De Bry and Thevenot, containing a great variety of curious information upon the progress of geographical discovery in the sixteenth century, and upon the books and editions which record it. 30221 CLARKE (Robert) Bibliotheca Americana: catalogue of a valuable collection of books, 8vo. sd. 2s 6d.

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. The frequent inaccuracies that appear in the transcription of titles in foreign languages may be merely typographical. 30225 HARRISSE (H.)
