 340 NOTES AND QUERIES. [io» 8. iv. OCT. 21, IMS. quarter of the century we have frequent news of England's naval battles. One of the latest items is Le Vieux Cordelier (Paris. 1793-4), in which Caraille Desmoulins sought to stem the tide of blood which marked the advance of the new republic. The seven numbers issued are to be had for 60m. The catalogues of Catholic Theology would have delighted the heart, one thinks, of the late Lord Acton, taking us as they do through councils which have left their mark on history- We notice a fine set of the ' Analecta Hymnica Medii ^Evi,' 1886-1903, edited by two learned Jesuits (360m.), which afford a unique insight into mediteval hymns and liturgies. St Augustine's works occupy more than a page. A copy of the first ' Biblia Polyglotta,' published 1514-17, occupies six volumes (2,400m.). There are many rare and splendid Bibles. We are specially interested in a "Vetus Italica" (400m.) among Latin Biblical versions (1743), since it collects the fragments of the old current^ Latin version which preceded Jerome's " Vulgate." In Parts II. and III. we find ourselves deep in the Council of Trent and the fight against the Reformers. There are some splendid Horse men- tioned here. Two of the Flemish School are priced at 8,000 and 4,000 m. A third, in Latin and French, from the library of the Duke de La Valliere, in perfect preservation, is offered at 3,000 m. Dods- worth and Dugdale's 'Monasticon Anglicanum,' 3 vols., London and Savoy, 1655 and 1673 (400m.), is an important book, noted by Brunet and Lowndes; and there are many others so rare that they have escaped the expert bibliographer. For instance, the ' Diurnale' of the Scotch Benedictine monastery at Vienna, 1515, unknown to Panzer, ought to be valuable to seekers after the Scotch abroad. It is said to be very rare, and is offered at 100 m. Mr. H. Seers, of Leyton, has a varied collection. We note an engraved map of the British and French dominions in North America, very rare. 1725 II. 15«. There are a number of old prints of Copenhagen House.
