seen." See _Bibl. Harl._, vol. iii., no. 562, "HOLLAR'S
works, consisting of all his pieces, and bound in 12 folio
volumes, in morocco. One of the completest and best sets in
the world, both as to the number and goodness of the
impressions." Vid. _ibid._, no. 468. It is now in the
library of the Duke of Rutland. "One hundred and
thirty-three heads of illustrious men and women, after
VANDYKE. This set of Vandyke's heads may be said to be the
best and completest that is to be met with any where: there
being the 12 heads which he etched himself, as likewise 79
worked off by Martin Vanden Enden: and what adds still to
the value of them is that the greater part were collected by
the celebrated Marriette at Paris, his name being signed on
the back, as warranting them good proofs." Tne
[Transcriber's Note: The] engravings from RAPHAEL'S
paintings, upwards of 200 in number, and by the best foreign
masters, were contained in 4 splendid morocco volumes. The
works of the SADELERS, containing upwards of 959 prints, in
8 large folio volumes, were also in this magnificent
collection: and the Albert Durers, Goltziuses, Rembrandts,
&c., innumerable!

4. _Collection of Portraits._

This magnificent collection, uniformly bound in 102 large
folio volumes, contained a series of heads of illustrious
and remarkable characters, to the amount of nearly 10,000 in
number. It is said, in the catalogue, to be "perhaps the
largest collection of heads ever exposed to sale." We are
also informed that it "was thought proper, for the
accommodation of the curious, to separate the volumes."
Eheu! Eheu!

5. _Philosophy, Chemistry, Medicine, &c._

Under this head, comprehending anatomy, astronomy,
mathematics, and alchemy, there appear to have been not
fewer than 2500 volumes in the foreign languages, and about
600 in the English: some of them of the most curious kind,
and of the rarest occurrence.

6. _Geography, Chronology, and General History._

There were about 290 volumes on these subjects, written in
the Latin, French, Italian, and Spanish languages: and about
300 volumes in our own language. Some of the scarcest books
printed by Caxton were among the latter.

7. _Voyages and Histories relating to the East and West
Indies._
