 and some Proverbial Expi'cssions. The facsimile reproduction of the 'Emblems,' 

 with their quaint pictorial Illustrations, occupies 230 pages. Then follow 

 Essays on the Subjects and Sources of the Mottoes and Devices, on Obsolete 

 Words in Whitney, with parallels, chiefly from Chaucer, Spenser, and Shake- 

 speare ; Biographical Notices of some other emblem-writers to whom Whitney 

 was indebted ; Shakespeare's references to emblem-books, and to Whitney's em- 

 blems iu particular ; Literary and Biographical Notes explanatory of some of 

 Whitney's emblems, and of the persons to whom they are dedicated. Seventy- 

 two exceedingly curious plates, reproduced in facsimile, illustrate this portion of 

 the work, and a copious General Index concludes the volmne.
