blithed, at New York, by Mr. Garpi- 
NER BAKER, an induftrious and inge-

ed, himfelf, the third edition of the Art de Vé- 
‘yifier les Dates aprés J. C. mentions this ma-

nocentum IJI; vol. ii. The firft part of this 
Collection was publifhed, in the year 1722, by 
D. Conftant, who left this fecond part in manu- 
fcript, ready for the prefs. 
Hiftoire de la Corigrégation de St. Maur, par 
Dom Martine, & continaée par Dom Forlet, 
3 vol. For fome particular reafons, the fuperi- 
ors of the order of St. Benedict would never - 
permit this work, though completed mahy years 
ago, to be printed.. This manufcript- was re- 
fcued from the flames which confumed the li- 
brary of St. Germain des Prés. . 
_ A@a Sanétorum ordinis S. Benediéi, tome 
x. The firft nine volumes of this work, of fo 
much importance to the Gallican Church, was 
printed, in folio, between the years 1663 and 
1703. The manufcript for the tenth volume, 
of no lefs importance than the others, is com- 
pletely ready for the prefs. 
Gallia Chriftiana ta provincias diftributa. OF 
this work thirteen’ perts are already printed. 
The prefent manufcript contains three parts, and 
treats of the provinces of Befangon, Vierne, 
Utrecht, and Tour, and completes the work. 
The firt edition appeared in 1656, publithed 
by D. Scevole, and is very incorrect. The laf 
was begun by the learned general of the Bene- 
dictines ; and, fince his death, many additions 
have been made to it by vayious learned men 
of that order. ; 
RerumGallicanum & Fraricicarum fecriptores, 
&c. Thirteen parts of this ufeful work have 
been already printed; the laft, by Dom Cle- 
ment, in 1763. Materials for the completion 
of the work are to be found in plenty amongit 
the remains of the Benedictines ; but an indufs 
trious compiler and editor will not eafily be 
found in France, under the prefent fyftem.

editorum, colleétio tempore, ordine digeit. al

Louvart, in the year 1708; but his death put 
a ftop to it fora time. Maran then undertook 
it, but he died before it could be completed. 
Clement laboured upon it for fourteen years, and 
collated above forty manufcripts ; butitis to be 
lamented, that he had not the opportunity of 
confulting one of diftinguiihed excellence in the 
ftate library at Bafil. f
