these are included. Under the heading of 'Record of Various Works of Art in Belgium' we have first some full-page photogravures of the "Colibrant" triptych from the church of St. Gummaire in Lierre, a work of art the existence of which is now rendered problematical by the bombardment of that town. It is of great beauty, especially, one may remark, the panel of the Presentation in the Temple. Under this heading come also descriptions and illustrations of a gable of the Vleeschhuis, Antwerp, and two sacrament-houses in Louvain. An article by Mr. O. Siren discusses, with reproductions, some pictures of Jacopo del Casentino, a pupil of Giotto, hitherto somewhat obscure in art history. A new portrait of Sir John Godsalve by Hans Holbein the Younger is reproduced by Mr. Paul Ganz; and an unrecorded Bronzino of Ezzelino da Romano, now illustrated for the first time by the courtesy of Mr. Max Rothschild, is discussed by Mr. Tancred Borenius. The frontispiece depicts some early Chinese stone statues from the collection of M. Léonce Rosenberg.

BOOKSELLERS' CATALOGUES.-NOVEMBER.

MR. BARNARD of Tunbridge Wells describes nearly 600 items in his Catalogue 96, which is devoted very largely to bibliography and kindred subjects. He offers for 21. 15s. the 3 vols. of Allibone's Critical Dictionary' (1877), together with the 2 vols. of Kirk's Supplement' (1891). We noticed both a copy of Halkett and Laing's 'Dictionary of the Anonymous and Pseudonymous Literature of Great Britain (1882-8, 61. 10s.) and one of Barbier's Dictionnaire des Ouvrages Anonymes,' in the third edition with Supplement (1872-89), 21. 158. There are an original edition of the volume of the Index Expurgatorius' issued at Rome in 1607, offered at il. 58., and one of the Huth Library Catalogues, of which only 130 were printed for sale (1880), offered for 51. 58. A copy of The Cambridge Modern History,' 14 vols., with atlas, tables, and general index, is to be had for 71. A smaller work worth mentioning is L'Art de vérifier les Dates,' 3 folio vols., published in Paris between 1783 and 1787, which is concerned with Faits Historiques,' Chartres,' Chroniques et autres anciens Monuments,' 11. 128. Mr. Barnard's collection of Dante literature seems pretty extensive ; he includes seventeen works in the present list, and invites application for a special catalogue of the subject.

MESSRS. SOTHERAN & Co.'s Catalogue No. 751 presents, like all its predecessors, an embarras de richesses for the reviewer. If we restrict ourselves in this notice to mentioning a few of the best of seventeenth-century books, it is not because we have failed to observe many highly interesting items belonging to other centuries. Messrs. Sotheran have a notebook of some 300 pp. small 4to, bound in old calf, which comes from Mr. Arthur Clifford's collection, and belonged originally to the Sir Walter Aston of Tixall who was Ambassador in Spain at the time when the Spanish match was engaging the attention of the English and Spanish The volume contains on 30 pp. notes by Aston both on diplomatic affairs and on matters of general interest in Spain. In a different hand, and belonging to the year 1647, are other entries,

Courts.

which fill nine more pages, 1620-47 (31. 38.). We marked also a publisher's presentation copy of Bacon's Henry VII.,' 1622, 41. A most attractive item is a set of four duodecimo volumes in one, bound by Riviere, being (1) The Warnings of Germany'; (2) The Invasions of Germany,' having a note in MS. on a fly-leaf relating to the capture of Magdeburg; (3) The Lamentations of Germany, composed these by an "Eyewitness"; and (4) Lacrymæ Germaniæ.' The date, 1638, will sufficiently indicate what are the mournful facts dealt with. The price is 15l. But the greatest prizes among the seventeenth-century books are two MSS. of La Rochefoucauld's Mémoires.' The first is a copy, on 396 pp. of paper, by a contemporary hand, purporting to contain corrections of style, which begins in 1626, as but one other MS. does. This was acquired by M. Petitot, who used it for his edition of the Mémoires,' and is a quarto volume bound in old French calf. The second is a MS., on 214 pp. folio, bound by Bozerian, in the hand of La Rochefoucauld's secretary, with corrections both in the author's and in another hand. For the first 401., and for the second 501., is the price asked. One other item we may mention, though it is not included within the limit above prescribed -a set of Hansard in 658 volumes, from the beginning (1806) to 1908, 2607.

CORRESPONDENTS who send letters to be forwarded to other contributors should put on the top left-hand corner of their envelopes the number of the page of 'N. & Q.' to which their letters refer, so that the contributor may be readily identified.

MR. DANIEL HIPWELL (84, St. John's Wood Terrace, N. W.) would be pleased to receive additions, corrections, and suggestions for the improvement of his Subject Bibliography included (pp. 537595) in Clegg's Directory of Booksellers,' 1914, with a view to its publication in a separate form.

MR. JOHN T. PAGE writes that he would be grateful to MR. DAVID SALMON if he would kindly say whether the words set out ante, p. 350, represent the whole of the inscription to Jemima Nicholas at Fishguard, and would also indicate the position of the grave.
