Introduction. xiii 



Since the list is based almost exclusively upon an examination 

 of books in the library of Harvard University, in the Boston 

 Public Library, and in the Boston Athenaeum, it can, of course, 

 have no pretensions to completeness. 



The compilation has been prepared under the constant super- 

 vision of Professor W. J. ASHLEY, whom the Compiler wishes 

 to thank for much generous assistance.
