NOTES AND QUERIES. 
[No. 12. 
it will put forth fresh claims to the favour of the 
public. Many writers of high reputation in his- 
torical and antiquarian literature are henceforth 
to be enlisted in its service. We shall look for the 
forthcoming number with great interest. 
Scheible, of Stuttgart, who is doubtless known 
to our readers as the publisher of some very 
curious works illustrative of the popular literature 
of Germany of the sixteenth and seventeenth cen- 
turies, has just commenced a new Library of 
Magic, &e., or Bibliothek der Zauber- Geheimnisse- 
und Offenbarungs-Bucher. The first volume of it is 
devoted to a work ascribed to that prince of 
magicians, our old familiar, Dr. Faustus, and bears 
the imposing title Doktor Johannes Faust's Magia 
Naturalis et Innaturalis, oder Dreifacher Hillen- 
zwang, letztes Testament und Siegelkunst. It is taken 
from a MS. of the last century, filled with magical 
drawings and devices enough to summon back 
again from the Red Sea, all the spirits that ever 
were laid in it. It is certainly a curious book to 
publish in the middle of the nineteenth century, 
Messrs. Sotheby and Co. will sell the extensive 
and valuable Collection of MSS. in all lancuages 
formed by the late Mr. Rodd, on Monday the 4th 
of February, and five following days. The cata- 
logue deserves the attention of all collectors of 
manuscripts, as it is, as far as circumstances will 
admit, a classified one. There are upwards of one 
thousand lots in the sale—many of a very curious 
and. interesting character. There are Greek and 
Latin versions of the Scriptures, manuscripts of 
the 13th century, Ruding’s original collections for 
his History of the Coinage of Great Britain; which 
work, it is stated, contains only a very small por- 
tion of the materials he had brought together. 
One lot consists of a mass of documents and papers, 
contained in eight large packing cases, and weigh- 
ing from ten to fifteen hundred weight, of the 
families of Eyre, of Derbyshire and Berkshire, and 
their intermarriages from the reign of Henry II. 
to the present time, Well may Mr. Sotheby talk 
of their proving a source of amusement to any 
person having room to sort them, and time to de- 
vote to their arrangement. 
Messrs. Puttick and Simpson, of Piccadilly, 
commence their sales on Monday next, with a four 
days’ miscellaneous sale of works on theology, 
history, classics, voyages and travels, and standard 
works in foreign and English general literature, 
They have some important sales coming on, of 
which our readers shall have due notice. 
We have received the following new Cata- 
logues : —

vinity, the Classics, Law, and Miscellaneous, on sale
