Lysander has above noticed the collection of Count M'Carthy
of Toulouse. By the kindness of Mr. Roche, banker, at Cork,
I learn that this collection 'is a truly splendid one.' The
possessor's talents are not confined to the partial walk of
bibliography: in his younger years, he was considered one of
the first gentlemen-violin players in Europe. He quitted
Ireland forty years ago, and now resides at Toulouse, in his
70th year, surrounded by a numerous and respectable family.
His leading passion, in book-collecting, (like his
countryman's, poor Mr. Quin--who gave 170 guineas for the
Spira Virgil of 1470, _in membranis_!) is marked by a
fondness for works _printed upon vellum_. From Mr. Roche,
Mr. Edwards, and other quarters, I am enabled to present the
reader with a list of a _few_ of
