2666. The last publication of 1788 was put forth by Nyon
l'aine; and although the bibliographical observations are
but few in comparison with those in the preceding catalogue,
and no index is subjoined, yet it is most carefully
executed; and presents us with such a copious collection of
French topography, and old French and Italian poetry and
romances, as never has been, and perhaps never will be,
equalled. It contains 26,537 articles. The Count D'Artois
purchased this collection "en masse;" and it is now
deposited in the "bibliotheque de l'Arsenal." See _Dictionn.
Bibliographique_, vol. iv., p. 133. It was once offered for
purchase to a gentleman of this country--highly
distinguished for his love of Virtu. Mr. Grenville has also
a similar large paper copy of this latter edition, of the
date of 1784.----VIENNA. _Codices Manuscripti Theologici.

_Michael Denis._ Vindob. 1793, folio. Some mention of this
work has been made at page 65, ante. It may be here
necessary to remark that, from the preface, it would appear
to contain a ninth additional book to Lambecius's well-known
Commentaries (vide, p. 41, ante) which Kollarius had left
unpublished at his death. The preface is well worth perusal,
as it evinces the great pains which Denis has taken; and the
noble, if not matchless, munificence of his patron--"qui
praeter augustam Bibliothecae fabricam in ipsos libros
centenis plura Rhenensium expendit millia."--This catalogue
is confined to a description of Latin, with some few notices
of Oriental Manuscripts; as the preceding work of Lambecius
and Kollarius contained an account of the Greek MSS. These
three parts, forming one volume, are closed by an excellent
index. The second volume was published in 1801. Upon the
whole, it is a noble and highly useful publication; and
places its author in the foremost rank of
bibliographers.----VOLPI. _Catalogo della Libreria de

The Crevenna library was enriched with a great number of
