by Authors before Joining, and by those after having left the Society,

Delineations of Scripture History, issued in Holland, Flanders, and
Germany, during the Fifteenth Century, Exemplified and Considered in
Connection with the Origin of Printing. To which is added An Attempt
to Elucidate the character of the Paper-Marks of the Period. A work
contemplated by the late Samuel Sotheby, and carried out by his Son
Samuel Leigh Sotheby. 3 vols., 8vo, pp. (4), xvi, 200; (2), 216; (2),
190, (27). 121 Plates. _London: Printed for the Author._ M,DCCC,LVIII.
Two hundred and fifty copies printed. The two leaves, subsequently
printed, giving an account of the sale of the edition at auction,
at the upset price of £9 per set, should be added, "a result," says
Mr. Sotheby "unparalleled in the annals of literature." One of
the most important works ever produced upon the history of early
printing, on which it throws great additional light. It contains
an extended examination of the various editions of the block books
(or books printed from wooden blocks), the earliest productions
of the art, issued in Holland, Flanders, and Germany, such as the
Apocalypsis S. Johannis, Biblia Pauperum, Ars Moriendi, Cantica
Canticorum, Liber Regum, Temptationes Dæmonum, Ars Memorandi,
Endkrist, Quindecim Signa, De Generatione Christi, Miribilia Romæ,
etc. It is not, however, confined to a history of block books, for
it gives minute accounts, accompanied by exact facsimiles, of some
of the most interesting and rare works printed with movable type in
the infancy of the art, such as the Donatuses, Doctrinale, Catonis
Disticha, Horarium, Facetiæ, Morales, Speculum Humanæ Salvationis,
Bartolomæus van de Proprietaten der Dinghen, Exhortatio contra
Turcos, Literæ Indulgentiarum, etc.

Water-Marks. Arranged and Edited from the Bibliographical Collections
of the Late Samuel Sotheby by his Son, S. Leigh Sotheby. Folio, pp. 65,
vii. _London: Thomas Rodd._ 1845.
One hundred copies only printed; very scarce. Uniform in size with
the _Principia Typographica_. It contains 100 facsimile plates of
the productions of the early printers, with the initials colored
and illuminated in gold, in imitation of the originals, besides
nearly 100 cuts on wood of paper-marks, etc. It will be found
a very useful work with which to identify the books which have
neither name of printer or place of printing.

Stevens GMB FSA. 2 vols., fcap 8vo, pp. xii, 436; (2), 437-805.
_London: Printed by Whittingham and Wilkins_ ... MDCCCLXII.
"Printed in the best style of the Chiswick Press, regardless of
time, it comprises 2934 titles given in full, with the collation
and price of each work. It was intended as far as it went to be
a manual for collectors of this expensive class of books. But it
did not go very far, containing as it does, not a selection, but
only such books as the author happened to possess at that time.
It was intended to supply the deficiencies by additional volumes,
but these have never appeared, and probably never will in this
form."--_Author._ A few copies were issued in 1858 with a different
title. _See_ Petzholdt, p. 812.
[STEVENS.] Bibliotheca Americana. A Catalogue of Books relating to the
History and Literature of America.... Sold by Puttick and Simpson. 8vo,
pp. vi, 273. _London. March_, M.DCCC.LXI.
Also on large paper, rl. 8vo. This catalogue contains 2415 lots,
with collations, etc., and will be useful to the collector. It is,
in fact, an abridgment of Stevens' _Historical Nuggets_, although
the latter was not published till 1862. It is one of the most
carefully prepared auction catalogues ever issued.
STEVENS. Bibliotheca Historica; or, a Catalogue of ... Books and
Manuscripts relating chiefly to the History and Literature of North and
South America; among which is included the larger proportion of the
extraordinary Library of the late Henry Stevens, Sr., of Barnet, Vt.

bibliographical works which combines amusement with profit and
instruction.

Khan, and his Son Tippoo Sultan. By Charles Stewart. 4to. _Cambridge._
1802. + [_Ibid._] 1809. 4to, pp. (4), viii, 94,(2), 364.
"The pleasure we have experienced in perusing these sheets, has
been considerably heightened by our confidence in the accuracy of
the contents (Major Stewart giving notes and references from the
most authentic materials), and from the modest, unassuming manner
in which the whole is written. The work Major Stewart proposed to
write was one of great curiosity to all classes of readers, and a
desideratum of real consequence to Oriental scholars."--_British
Critic._
STEWART (C. J.) Catalogue of the Library collected by Miss Richardson
Currer, at Eshton Hall, Craven, Yorkshire, By C. J. Stewart,
Bookseller. Rl. 8vo, pp. xii, 501. 4 Plates.
_London: Printed for Private Circulation only._ 1833.
This catalogue, now rare, contains much more than that by
Triphook. See _Notes and Queries_, Second Series, XII. 77. Mr.
Stewart's catalogues of his own stock are replete with valuable
bibliographical and critical notices. It is no exaggeration to say
that in the departments of literature to which Mr. Stewart has
given special attention he is the best living authority.

8vo, pp. 487; 576.
_Worcester: From the Press of Isaiah Thomas, Jun._ 1810.
This valuable work, written and published in advance of the time,
met with no favor, and was quickly forgotten. It was reprinted with
the following title:
THOMAS. The History of Printing in America: ... By Isaiah Thomas,
LL.D. ... Second Edition. With the Author's Corrections and Additions,
and a Catalogue of American Publications previous to the Revolution of
1776.... 2 vols., 8vo, pp. lxxxvii, 423, Portrait; 666, Index, (50).
_Albany, N. Y.: Joel Munsell, Printer._ 1874.
In this edition some of the matter in the first it omitted.
The list of ante-revolutionary publications is far from being
complete, and it is much to be regretted that many of the titles
are not given correctly; one specimen is conspicuous: on page 405,
article Bass, an error in the Massachusetts Catalogue is pointed
out, but the title is turned round. There is nothing in the title
about Benjamin Colman, and the collation is pp. (2), iii, 40;
the printer's name is not given. Errors like these swarm in the
list, a circumstance to be regretted, as a little additional labor
would have made that right which is now wrong. It is the more
inexcusable, as a reference to Sabin's _Dictionary_ would have
furnished many titles entirely omitted or incorrectly described.

accuracy and minuteness of the collations and descriptions in
this most valuable catalogue. Those of the earlier and more rare
editions are given with a fullness and distinctness which leaves
nothing to desire. I could not insert all those particulars into

persons who desire more detailed notice of any remarkable edition
to this curious and valuable catalogue of Mr. Wilson."
