3 vols, folio. The title-pages of vols. 2 and 3 of the copy in the Library of Con- 
gress are in manuscript, and are dated respectively 1819 and 1821. After the words 
" Metropolitana de Mexico," they have these veords : " Y la publica D. Jos6 Rafael 
Enriquez Trespalacios Beristain sohrino del Autor." Their imprints are: "En 
Mexico. Oficiua de Don Alejandro Valdez calle de Santo Domingo ano de 1819 
[-1821]." 
"The Biblioteea of Beristain is the rarest and most valuable of all bibliograph- 
ical works. The author died while the work was in progress, and it was then con- 
tinued by his nephew, who limited the number issued to that of the persons who 
had already subscribed for copies. It is to be found in few public libraries, and 
the sum required for the last copy known to us was £60. The present copy [now 
in the Lenox Library] is much increased in value by the manuscript additions, 
which contain notices of upwards of 600 works relating to America, chiefly anony- 
mous, and an Appendix of 'Certamenes publicos literarios que se han celebrado en 
la Nucva Espana.' The volumes also contain many corrections and additions in the 
hand of Mr. Ramirez."— Bamires Bib. Mm., No. 102.
