leaf at the end containing the " Device of the Printer." 

 Such is not the case in the copy in the British Mu- 

 seum, or in that sold here during the month of Au- 

 gust last. 

 127. Missale Ordinis Bti. Benedicti. Printed upon 

 vellum, a remarkably fine copy in the original binding, 

 brass bound and with clasps. Bamberga, per Joan. Sen- 

 seuschmidt, mcccclxxxi. 73/. 

 A glorious specimen of early Typography. The service 

 for the Mass is in noble type, larger than the Psalter 

 of 1457. It is preceded by an admirably executed 

 painting of the Crucifixion. 



280. Johnson (S.) The Original Agreement between 

 Dr. Samuel Johnson and Ed. Cave, bookseller, for the 

 publication of the first small edition (12mo.) of " The 

 Kambler," specially providing that the names of John 

 Payne and Joseph Bougnet, " are inserted as the persons 

 for whom such edition is printed." 1751. 101. 



This most interesting document is signed by Johnson, 

 and witnessed by David Henry and J. Hawkesworth. 



281. Johnson (S.) The Receipt of Samuel Johnson to 

 Mr. Cave for the sum of Fifty Pounds for compiling and 

 writing the Life of Rd. Savage, Dec. 14, 1743 : also a note 

 from Mr. Cadell, dated Bristol, March 17, 1749, to Mr. 

 Cave, stating that he had purchased a play from Savage 

 for 5/. 5s. 51. 



In the receipt by Dr. Johnson, the date and amount are 

 in his autograph, as well as, of course, his signature. 

 540. Bible (The) and Holy Scriptures conteyned in the 

 Olde and Newe Testament, translated according to the 

 Ebrue and Greke, and conferred with the best transla- 

 tions in divers languages, ^c. Maps, old russia. Geneva, 

 printed by Rowland Hill, 1560. 16/. 10s. 

 First and very rare edition of the Genevan version of 

 the Scriptures, a perfect copy, with the exception of 

 a few letters on the leaf, " To our beloved in the 

 Lord," which leaf is mended in the margins, as is 

 also the title. This volume was once the property of 

 the celebrated Dr. Wm. Dodd, who exchanged it for 

 other books with the late Wm. Otridge, of the Strand, 

 who presented it, in Nov. 1802, to the Rev. Weeden 

 Butler, of Chelsea, whose autograph letter, then ac- 

 companying the gift, is attached to the book. 

 1138. France. Documents Inedits sur I'Histoire de 

 France, publics par Ordre du Roi (Louis Philippe) et par 

 Ics Soins du Ministre Publique (M. Guizot). 79 vols, half 

 bound in dark maroon morocco, contents of each volume 

 lettered on the backs, and 4 vols, unbound ; together 83 

 vols. 4to. ; accompanied with a large Atlas folio of the 

 plans of the Battles for the Succession to the Spanish 

 Throne. GO/. 



1520. Shakespeare (Mr. William) Comedies, Histories, 

 and Tragedies, published according to the true originall 

 copies, the second impression with portrait by Droeshout 

 on the title, and the Verses "to the Reader" by Ben 

 Jonson opposite (which slightly varies from the copy 

 given by Lowndes). Good copy, with a few corrections 

 of the text, and interlineations in an old hand. Thomas 

 Cotes for Robert Allot, 1632. 12/. 15s. 



From a note on the fly-leaf we find that this volume 

 was purchased in Little Britain on the 14th of Feb. 

 1649, the seller at that time warranting it to be per- 

 fect, and of the best edition.

 several similar notices in The Examiner: — 



" Literary men, centuries after we are gone, will be taking in their 

 Notes and Queries : and the books that shall be hereafter will be 

 made the richer for the odd and interesting and important Notes they

" The utility of such an Index, not only to men of letters, but to well- 

 informed readers generally, is too obvious to require proof, more es- 

 pecially when it is remembered that many of these references (between 

 30,000 and 40,000) are to articles which themselves point out the best 

 sources of information upon their respective subjects." — TAe Times, 

 June 28, 1856.
