57. Observations on Authors, Ancient and Modern, 2 vol.

and added a few marginal remarks of his own," 8vo.
150. Valentine and Orson, B.L. cuts. _Wants title, two
leaves in one place, and a leaf in another_, 4to.

153. 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,

reader may look for one minute at page 225, ante.]
