Garnier for the private
use of the Louvain college, and which is now extremely
difficult to be found. See Maichelius, _de Praecip. Bibl.
Parisiens_, p. 128. Their "_Systema bibliothecae collegii
Parisiensis societatis Jesu_," 1678, 4to. (or catalogue of
books in the college of Clermont), is handsomely noticed by
Camus in the _Mem. de l'Inst._, vol. i., 647.----JUST, ST.
_Catalogue des livres en tres-petit nombre qui composent la
Bibliotheque de M. Merard de St. Just, ancien maitre-d'hotel
de Monsieur, frere du Roi (avec les prix d'achat)._ Paris,
1783, 18mo. Of this book, printed upon superfine paper, of
the manufactory of d'Annonay, only 25 copies were struck
off. _Bibl. Curieuse_, p. 43. Another catalogue of the same
collection (perhaps a more copious one) was put forth in
1799, 8vo., prepared by M. Mauger, See _Diction.
Bibliographique_, tom. iv., p. xiv.----KROHN. _Catalogus
Bibliothecae Praestantissimorum &c., Librorum selectum
complectentis. Libros collegit et Literariis Catalogum
Animadversionibus instruxit, B.N. Krohn. Editio altera._
Hamb. 1796, 8vo. The preface to this very excellent
collection of books is written in Latin by Rambach; and a
most interesting one it is. After giving a slight sketch of
the life and literary occupations of Krohn, he thus finishes
the picture of his death--"Ego certe (exclaims the grateful
biographer), mi KROHNI, te amabo, et quamdiu 'spiritus hos
reget artus' gratam Tui memoriam ex animo nunquam elabi
patiar. O! me felicem, si, qua olim me beasti, amicitia nunc
quoque frui possem. Sed fruar aliquando, cum Deus me ad
beatorum sedes evocaverit, ac Te mihi rediderit
conjunctissimum. Vale, interim, pia anima; et quem jam
tristem reliquisti, prope diem exspecta, in tenerrimos Tuos
amplexus properantem, ac de summa, quam nunc habes,
felicitate Tibi congratulantem," p. xix. This is the genuine
language of heart-felt grief; language, which those who have
lost an old and good friend will know well how to
appreciate. This catalogue, which was given to me by my
friend the Rev. Dr. Gosset, 'vir in re bibliographica
[Greek: polymathestatos],' exhibits a fine collection of
books (3821 in number) relating to history and philology.
Some of Krohn's notes are sufficiently shrewd and
intelligent.---
