NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[No. 5. 
to the Discovery, History, Natural History, Language, 
Literature, and Government of America and its Depen- 
dencies, Mexico, the East and West Indies, &c.! Voy- 
ages, Travels, and Itineraries: Fine Books of Prints; 
Botanical Works; Natural History and Philosophy; 
Works containing Specimens of Early Engraving, 
Wocd-cuts, and Emblems; a most interesting Col- 
lection of English Poetry, Plays, and Works illustrative 
of the History and Progress of the English Language 
and Literature, including a perfectly unique Collection 
of the Works of Daniel de Foe; several hundred rare 
Tracts, particularly an extensive Series relating to 
Charles I. and his Contemporaries, others of a Local 
and Personal Character, Biographies, rare Histories of 
remarkable Characters, Facetiz, and an unusually large 
assemblage of curious and rare Articles in almost every 
Class of Literature; a few MSS. &c. 
Among the Lots deserving attention in the 
course of the coming week, are Nos. 1323 to 1375, 
a large collection of publications relative to Ame- 
rica; Nos. 1612 to 1620, relating to Canada. 
1574 Barros(Joan.de) Decades da Asia. Decadal. 
2., Lisboa, 1552-53; Decada 3., ib. 1563; 
Decada 4., Madrid, 1615; Couro, Decada 4, 
5, 6., Lisboa, 1602-16; Decada 8, 9, 10. ib. 
1736 —together 8 vols. morocco. 
Nearly all the copies of the 6th Decade were de- 
stroyed by fire, and the few that are to be met 
with are generally, if not always, deficient in 
some leaves. The title-page to this copy (as 
in Mr. Grenville’s) is supplied by the title to 
the 4th Decade, and a few leaves are wanting. 
For the rarity of this work, see Bibliotheca Gren- 
villiana, vol. i. p- 60. 
And, lastly, Lot 1701; which contains a match- 
less series, in 154 vols., of the Works of Daniel De 
Foe, whom Coleridge was inclined to rank higher 
than Addison for his humour and as a writer of 
racy vigorous English. 
The Lot is thus described : — 
« Tais marcuiess Series of the Works of this dis- 
tinguished Author was formed with unwearied dili- 
gence by his Biographer, the late Mr. Walter Wilson, 
during the greater portion of his life. 
« The numbers to 208 refer to the Catalogue of the 
Works as published in his Life of Defve, 3 vols. 1830; 
those following have been discovered by Mr. Wilson 
since the period of that publication. This Collection 
is rendered still further complete by the addition of 
upwards of forty pieces by a recent possessor. The ex- 
treme difficulty of forming such a collection as the 
present is very apparent when we compare its volumi- 
nous contents with those very few collections which, 
during the last fifty years, have on the dispersion of 
celebrated libraries occurred for sale.” 
We have this week received a most important 
and valuable 
« Catalogue of Bibles and Biblical Literature, con- 
taining the best works, ancient and modern, on the 
Criticism, Interpretation, and Illustration of Holy 
Scripture, and including such of the Fathers and Eccle- 
| 
| 
| 
siastical Writers as have treated on these subjects, 
classified with Analytical Table of Contents and Alpha- 
betical Indexes of Subjects and Authors, &c. on Sale, 
by C. J. Stewart, 11. King William St., West Strand. 
Mr. Stewart explains that in addition to what 
are “strictly regarded as Biblical, there will be 
found in it the works of those Fathers, Medizval 
and more recent Writers, who treat upon subjects 
connected with Scripture, each accompanied with 
an enumeration of such portions of his works ; and 
under heads (more especially extensive under com- 
mentators) references are given to these writers, 
so as to afford a condensed view of authorities or 
sources of information.” Mr. Stewart states also 
that he has other Catalogues in preparation, — we 
presume in continuation of the present one, and 
exhibiting the same system of arrangement, — and, 
if so, we feel that the series will be of the greatest 
value to all theological students. 
Collectors of Autographs afd Engraved Por- 
traits will thank us for directing their attention 
to a 
“ Catalogue of Books, Prints, Manuscripts, and Au- 
tograph Letters; being a part of the Stock of Horatio 
Rodd, brother and successor to the late Thomas Rodd, 
No. 23 Little Newport Street,” 
in which they will find many interesting Auto- 
graphs and curious Portraits. 
We have also received 
« A List of Secondhand Books on Sale by 
Honnor, 304. Strand ;” and 
«“ A Catalogue of Bcoks, Ancient and Modern, on 
Sale, by W. Pedder, 12. Holywell St. Part VI. 1849.”
