Koberger, 1493 EDITIO PRINCEPS. The book has a kind of claim to be reckoned amongst Americana, namely because it records a discovery of certain savages which has been taken to indicate some transatlantic exploit of Martin Behaim. It is a volume of extraordinary interest, embellished with upwards of 2250 woodcut engravings of the principal events, characters, and cities, described in the work, executed in a spirited style by the ingenious artists Michael Wolgemuth and William Pleydenwurff, as the last colophon in the work informs us. This Colophon is given at length in the Bibliotheca Spenceriana, where will be found the fullest and liveliest description of the volume, with faint facsimiles of a few of the Cuts. A colophon denotes Hartmann Schedel as the author or editor. The present copies are perfect with the unnumbered leaves which are frequently wanting. One of the most striking pictures in the volume is on folio 264 (Latin edition), a grotesque Dance of Death, containing five very large fignres. 30242 WATERTON (Charles) Wanderings in South America, the north west of the United States, and the Antilles, 1812-24, 4to. frontispiece, hf. calf, 12s 1825 30243 HERIOT (George) Travels through the Canadas . . with an account of the productions, commerce, and inhabitants of those provinces, and a comparative view of the manners and customs of several of the Indian nations of North and South America, stout 4to. тар and numerous pretty plates, hf. bd. £2. 16s 1807 30244 PARRY'S (W.

ORIGINAL EDITION, with the excessively rare map, containing in the corner the genuine PORTRAIT OF CAPTAIN JAMES, fine copy, red morocco extra, gilt edges, by Mackenzie, £35. 1633 This book is in any state a rare one, but when with the map it is a desideratum rarely acquirable by the American collector. James was sent by the King to explore the Northwest Passage, and underwent excessive hardship and difficulties in that attempt during the years 1631-32. He fell in with Fox (author of the "North West Fox ") during his voyage. Most copies of the map have the portrait of Captain James in facsimile. In the above it is the genuine original. Critics frequently censure the gallant explorer for the littleness of geographical information contained in his book, but the map is assuredly free from any such blame-worthiness, for it contains a singularly correct delineation of the high latitudes in which Hudson, Baffin, James, and Fox pursued their search for the North West passage. 30250 THOMAS (Isaiah) History of Printing in America, with a biography of Printers, and an account of Newspapers, to which is prefixed a concise view of the discovery and progress of the art in other parts of the world, 2 vols. 8vo. plates, bds. uncut, £6. 6s Worcester (Massachusetts) 1810 SUPPLEMENT OF BOOKS ON AMERICA. 30251 AUDUBON (John James) Birds of America, 4 vols. double elephant folio, 435 (OF WHICH 13 IN TWO STATES) superbly coloured plates of Birds (natural size), very large copy, the plates of the wild Turkey being uninjured, hf. russia, in a mahogany cabinet, covered in damask, and forming an elegant ottoman,£350. 1827-49 The plates of this grand copy were specially selected by the artist himself for his father, who was the intimate friend of Audubon.
