56 Ancient Books. 



350. DICTIONNAIRE de Toutes Especes de Chasses. Fr.

 illustrations as used in L'Encyclopaedie du XVIII. 

 Siecle, of which it forms the 19th part. Agasse, Paris, 

 1795. 1 vol. and atlas of 32 plates. 4to. 



[NOTE. The compiler has not included in the foregoing list of 

 eighteenth-century books several works which treat of gunnery, the 

 use of artillery, etc., incidentally, as part of the general scheine of 

 works devoted to such subjects as fortification, military architecture, 

 tactics, discipline, or naval matters ; particulars of such books are 

 readily ascertained upon reference to military bibliographies. In 

 the same manner some books of minor interest have been omitted. 

 In the following short list are given titles of books, MSS. and articles, 

 chiefly of Italian origin, the dates and some other particulars of 

 which the compiler has been unable to verify.]
