Valentine and Orson, B.L. cuts. _Wants title, two leaves in one place, and a leaf in another_, 4to. 152.

Barnes's (Dame Juliana) Boke of Haukynge, Huntynge, and Cootarmuris, C.T.--F.D. _Seynt Albon's_, folio, 1486. "This perhaps is the only perfect copy of this original edition, which is extant. Its beginning with sig. a ii is no kind of cantradiction [Transcriber's Note: contradiction] to its being perfect; the registers of many Latin books at this period mention the first leaf of A as quite blank. The copy of the public library at Cambridge is at least so worn or mutilated at the bottom of some pages that the bottom lines are not legible." [This copy is now in the matchless collection of Earl Spencer.] 157. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, C.R. _woodcuts, Pynson_, folio, "This is Pynson's original edition, and probably the first book he printed. See a long MS. note prefixed. Bound up at the end of this copy are two leaves of a MS. on vellum, which take in the conclusion of the Miller's Prologue, and beginning of his Tale. One of these pages is illuminated, and has a coloured drawing of the Miller on his mule." 166. Mort D'Arthur, B.L. _woodcuts. Lond. W. Copland._ See MS. notes at the beginning and end, folio. 175. Roy's _Rede me and be not wrothe, For I say nothing but trothe._ "This is the famous satire against Cardinal Wolsey, printed some years before his fall. See Herbert, p. 1538, 8vo." [The reader may look for one minute at page 225, ante.] 263. Boetius, (The Boke of Comfort, by) translate
