 rolyglott Bible. It was unknown to Houzeau-Lancaster, who only quotes (No. 1043) a folio edition of Paris of the above 

 date, edited by Orontius Fin.«u8. 



C:raelo'8 mathematics comprise Arithmetic, Geometry, Circle-Squaring (intending a solution of the problem, and 

 unknown to Prof de Morgan), and Perspective. It has no colophon, which may possibly be missing. At end is ' Petri

' In spite of a rent in the balloon (which he partially repaired with his neckcloth) he nearly succeeded in crossing the 

 Channel ; but when over Anglesey a strong southerly current carried him out to sea, and he had a most perilous escape, 

 being rescued by a fishing craft, which ran its bowsprit through the balloon.'— D. N. B.

 managed to keep the balloon in it across St. George's Channel. In mid-channel he wrote, ' I enjoyed at a glance the
