Acerca de este libro
Esta es una copia digital de un libro que, durante generaciones, se ha conservado en las estanterías de una biblioteca, hasta que Google ha decidido
escanearlo como parte de un proyecto que pretende que sea posible descubrir en línea libros de todo el mundo.
Ha sobrevivido tantos años como para que los derechos de autor hayan expirado y el libro pase a ser de dominio público. El que un libro sea de
dominio público significa que nunca ha estado protegido por derechos de autor, o bien que el período legal de estos derechos ya ha expirado. Es
posible que una misma obra sea de dominio público en unos países y, sin embargo, no lo sea en otros. Los libros de dominio público son nuestras
puertas hacia el pasado, suponen un patrimonio histórico, cultural y de conocimientos que, a menudo, resulta difícil de descubrir.
Todas las anotaciones, marcas y otras señales en los márgenes que estén presentes en el volumen original aparecerán también en este archivo como
testimonio del largo viaje que el libro ha recorrido desde el editor hasta la biblioteca y, finalmente, hasta usted.
Normas de uso
Google se enorgullece de poder colaborar con distintas bibliotecas para digitalizar los materiales de dominio público a fin de hacerlos accesibles

trabajo caro. Por este motivo, y para poder ofrecer este recurso, hemos tomado medidas para evitar que se produzca un abuso por parte de terceros
con fines comerciales, y hemos incluido restricciones técnicas sobre las solicitudes automatizadas.
Asimismo, le pedimos que:
+ Haga un uso exclusivamente no comercial de estos archivos Hemos diseñado la Búsqueda de libros de Google para el uso de particulares;
como tal, le pedimos que utilice estos archivos con fines personales, y no comerciales.

propósitos y seguro que podremos ayudarle.
+ Conserve la atribución La filigrana de Google que verá en todos los archivos es fundamental para informar a los usuarios sobre este proyecto

+ Manténgase siempre dentro de la legalidad Sea cual sea el uso que haga de estos materiales, recuerde que es responsable de asegurarse de
que todo lo que hace es legal. No dé por sentado que, por el hecho de que una obra se considere de dominio público para los usuarios de
los Estados Unidos, lo será también para los usuarios de otros países. La legislación sobre derechos de autor varía de un país a otro, y no
podemos facilitar información sobre si está permitido un uso específico de algún libro. Por favor, no suponga que la aparición de un libro en
nuestro programa significa que se puede utilizar de igual manera en todo el mundo. La responsabilidad ante la infracción de los derechos de
autor puede ser muy grave.

NOTICE TO BOOKBUYERS.
To better accommodate the distant buyers to whom we mail

Catalogues, and for parties unable to be present, the Aes,o•srs
will oereto am. orders free of charge. In ordering from
our Catalogues give the number ok the lot, as well as the
first wobd of title, and extreme limit per volume, or (if
engravings and pamphlets) per piece, which will be used only
in competition, or oxactly as the purchaser would bid for him
self. If unlimited orders be given, a proper discretion will be
exercised.
Our Catalogues are compiled by experts, who endeavor to give
buyers, as far as practicable, a fair idea of the condition of
every lot offered for sale. We, however, neither guarantee the
absolute correctness of any description, nor the perfect con
dition of any lot.
It should be understood that each lot is sold separately, and
by itself, as catalogued, and without reference to any other lot.
Orders to purchase sent to us should, therefore, be for each lot
on its own merits.
Purchases sent direct to the Auctioneers are always
made as much below the amoe- named in the order as
circumstances warrant. At least seventy-five per cent, of
the lots purchased at our book and engraving sales have, as a
rule, been sold to customers resident outside of the City of New
York. Purchasers living in or near New York should examine,
previous to sale and while on exhibition, all lots they may wish to
bid for. eet-osswn buyersshould insist that their agents take the
trouble to examine all lots on which they send orders. This would
save annoyance to both auctioneers and actual purchasers, as
NO LOTS ARE RETURNABLE.
Few bookbuyers, comparatively, are aware of the many
advantages of attending our sales, and of the facility with
which a good library may be completed. Often at these sales,
libraries, which have been selected by persons of judgment, are
distributed to all parts of the United States. This enables buy
ers to profit by the experience of others, and at the same time to
make selections of choice editions and valuable books, often at
much less price than they could be procured from other sources
Consignments of large or small collections solicited.

6 THE DEL MONTE LIBRAR Y.
Gobierno y Guerras de los Indias. 2 vols. in 1. Small 4*0,

half calf. Madrid, 1792
Scarce. Mr. Rich observes of Acosta, the famous Jesuit father,
that he was one of the earliest writers who treated philosophically of
America and its productions. Robertson pronounces him a standard
authority. Pinelo, however, alleges that the work is taken from the
MSS. of a Dominican monk, Diego Duran.

ander VI., Clement VIII., Julius II., Julius III., Clement X., and
Innocent X.; Constitutions of the University, 1716; Reformacion en la
Universidad de Alcala. There are MS. notes and notarial signatures

Cotton says—" That though among the Spanish towns Alcala was
late in the adoption of this excellent art (of typography) yet it will ever
be famous in the annals of literature, having given to the world the
first Polyglot Bible, a splendid work in six volumes folio, designed
and executed under the fostering hand of Cardinal Ximenes."

Rare. The first described work nearly brought Aldarete who was
a Canon of the church of Cordova into serious difficulties with the In
quisition owing to certain passages of a supposed heretical tendency
and which are marked on pages 41, 46 and 54 of the above copy.

Rotterdam, 1665
Rare. Dedicated to—" Monsieur De Beveren Gouverneur de
l'lle de Tabago pour les Hauts et Puissans Seigneurs les Etats Gen-
eraux des Province Vnies du Pais-Bas."
Rich says that— "The dedication to the first edition is signed by
' L. de P.,' supposed by Barbier to be Louis de Poincy, and the true
author of the work, notwithstanding that the name of Rochefort is
inserted as the author in the second and succeeding editions; but
Father De Tertre says, in the Preface to his ' Histoire Generale,' that
while he was printing his first work the General Lonvilliers de Poincy
had begged Father Raimond Breton to give his vocabulary and some
memoirs to an unknown person, who was collecting materials for a
' Relation of the Antilles,' and he afterwards learned that this person
was M. Rochefort, a minister of Rotterdam, who, having been twice
to the islands, had conceived a similar design to himself. This
account appears to be more probable than the supposition of Barbier."

Don Andres Gonzales de Barcia Carbillado y Zuniga, after having
published new editions of " Torquemada, " 1722; " El Peru y Florida
del Inca," " Herrera," " La Araucana," " El Origen de los Indios "
and the "Biblioteca del Pinelo," caused to be printed the authors con
tained in this collection, and probably some others, as he mentions in
his edition of Pinelo that Fernandez's " Historia del Peru" was about
being finished in 1731, but of which no copies are known to exist.
Most of these authors were printed about the same period, but were
not published until 1749 (six years after Barcia's death, which hap
pened in 1 743), when general titles to the three volumes were printed,
with a table of contents, of which there are two different impressions.
One, the most modern, is printed by Ibarra.

Very Rare. This chronological history oí Florida, under which
name the author comprises nearly the whole continent of America
north of Mexico, was severely criticised by Salazar in 1725. The name
on the title is an anagram of that of Don Andres Gonzales Barcia,
who deserved great praise for the pains he took in republishing the
best works on American history, many of which were already in his time
" presqu' introuvable."
The above was intended as a continuation of Garcilaso de la Vega's
" Florida del Inca."

Rare. It is very difficult to assign the place which this extraor
dinary man will occupy in the annals of science, for his works are to
day nearly as great mysteries as the hieroglyphs his labors have illus
trated. His industry in his researches into the history of the Aztec
races is something not less than marvelous. Following his vocation as
a priest and missionary, his literary appetite could only be allayed by
writing a history of Canada, and perhaps the most unfortunate event
for his fame which could possibly have happened was that it was
printed. It did not escape the notice of historical students that the
Abbe had accepted so much that was apocryphal that his history was
little better than a romance.
When, therefore, he had, with heroic sacrifice of all personal ease,
accepted the life of self-immolation of a missionary to the Indians of

Mexico; had studied for years the relics of Aztec picture writing; had
learned and systematized in great treatises their modern dialects—the
immense works which he then printed upon the history of the pre-
Cortesian races, made scarcely a ripple on the quiet of the scientific
world. He stands alone in the vast temple of learning which he has
restored, if he did not erect. No human being can contest his solu
tion of Aztec pictographs, nor does there exist one who can prove it to
be true. His numerous volumes have at least this merit—they have
done much to perpetuate the memory of a wonderful race.

Spooner says of Callot:—" The fertility of his invention was won
derful and his style was remarkably varied. He frequently made several
designs for the same plate before he was satisfied, and Watelet says
that he saw four different drawings by him for the celebrated ' Tempta
tion of St. Anthony.' His drawings are greatly admired and are even
more spirited than his prints. Heinecken gives a full list of the plates
of this indefatigable artist; they amount to over fifteen hundred."

first part, the author describes the manners and customs of the Ameri

futes on every point the paradoxes of De Pauw. The second part is
hypothetical, its object being to discover at what epoch the people of
the Atlantide, that large continent which has disappeared in some
general commotion of the globe, might have had communication with
America on one side and with Europe on the other, which would
alone explain the resemblance of certain ancient civil and religious
customs and traditions common to the two continents."— Ginguenee.

Rich says—" This very rare book contains an official account of the
celebrated Desagüe or canal of Gueguetoca, called by Humboldt Hue-
huetoca, which was constructed to carry off the superabundant waters
of the lake of Mexico. Humboldt gives a full account of this stupen
dous undertaking."

demarcation of the Spanish and Portugeese dominions in America which
was a subject of dispute between the two nations for more than two
hundred years.
Bound up with the above is another nautical treatise in Spanish, of

FATHER CHARLEVOIX'S WORKS.

91 CHARLEVOIX—Histoire de PIsle ou Espagnole ou de S.
Dominique, Ecrite Particulierment sur des Mémoires man
uscrits du P. Jean-Baptiste le Pers, Jesuite, Missionaire
à Saint Dominique et par les Pieces Originales qui se con
servent au Depot de la Marine, Par Père Pierre Francois
Xavier de Charlevoix de la Compagnie de Jesus. With
maps, plans and vignettes. 2 vols. 4to, half calf (binding
damaged). Paris, 1730-31
Good copy of this elegant history of Hayti, with brilliant impres
sions of the vignettes.
The extraordinary man who was the author of these volumes left no
subject relating to the history of the affairs of his wonderful Order in
America untouched, and as the missions of the Company among the
Indians were the principal purpose of the Fathers in both Americas,
the curiosity of Charlevoix permeated every accessible square mile of
their surface to learn the habits, the customs, and the secrets of the life
of the strange people, his brethren sought to subdue to the influence
of the Cross. Father Charlevoix accomplished results in his investi
gations which seem marvelous to us in the vast accumulation of facts
which his pen has illustrated.
92 CHARLEVOIX. Histoire du Paraguay. Maps. 6 vols.
small 8vo, mottled calf gilt, red edges.
Paris, Ganeau, Bauche et D 'Houry, 1757
Rare. There are copies with the imprint "Paris, Chez Desaint,
MDCCLVII." This is the most complete and satisfactory work on
Paraguay and the only one in which the vast system of the Jesuits is
developed. The position of the author afforded him peculiar oppor
tunities for its examination.
93 CHARLEVOIX. Histoire du Japon ou l'on Trouvera tout
ce qu'on a pu Apprendre de la Nature et des Productions
du Pays, du Caractère et des Coutumes des Habitants, du
Gouvernement et du Commerce, des Revolutions Arrivées

tion, Revue, Corrigée, Augmentée et mise dans un Nouvel

Rare. One of the best accounts of Japan and the Japanese people
and including numerous historical particulars made use of by later
authors without acknowledgment.

Very Scarce and dedicated to Napoleon III. This magnificent
archaeological work contains 49 large photographs, of which one mount
is torn. They comprise Aztec Calendar in the city of Mexico, seven
teen photographs from Mitla in the State of Oaxaca ; four, of Palenque
in Chiapa; three, of Izamal in Yucatan; nine, of Chichen-Itza in Yuca

Rare. The author is described on the title as ' ' Astrologo y Cos-

CIEZA'S EXTREMELY RARE CHRONICLE OF PERU IN
BLACK LETTER.
98 CIEZA.—Parte Primera de la Chronica del Peru que Trata
la Demarcacion de sus Provincias, la Descripcion dellas:
las Fundaciones de las Nuevas Ciudades: los Ritos y Cos
tumbres de los Indios y Otras Cosas Estranas Dignas de
Sabidas Fecha por Pedro de Cieca de Leon, Vezino
de Seuilla, 1553. Con Priuillegio Real. Handsome rubri
cated title with coat-of-arms and border, also numerous

curious woodcuts and charming initial letters. Small folio,
crushed red levant morocco, elegant inside gold borders,
rounded corners, gilt edges.
Seville, Martin D. Montes Doca, 1553
Black Letter and Excessively Rare. With MS. name of
former owner, 1554 on title, also library stamp of " Biblioteca Aroza-
rena."
Only the first part of this "Peruvian Chronicle" was ever pub
lished. Rich says: " The second and third parts in MS. were seen in
Madrid some years ago, but it is not known what became of them."
" It is written with so little art and such an apparent regard for
truth that one must regret the loss of the other part of his work."—
Robertson.
" The manuscript of the third part is now in Mr. Lennox's col
lection. Mr. Prescott bestows much praise on this work, and Mr. C.
R. Markham characterizes it as ' one of the most remarkable literary
productions of the age of the Spanish conquest in America.' It is,
in fact, the only book which exhibits ' the physical aspect of the
country as it existed under the elaborate culture of the Incas. '—
Prescott, II., 328. As long ago as 1835 Mr. Rich priced this at
£$ 5s. It would probably sell for five times the price now (1870).
In a Catalogue of Puttick and Simpson for i860 an edition is described
as ' Anvers en Casa de Juan Steelsio, 1553,' which is probably the
same as described in our note to No. 13,046."—Sabin.
" Pedro Cieza de Leon naquit en 1518, il passa dix-neuf ans de 1531
à 1550 dans l'Amérique et publia, comme resultat de ses etudes et
recherches faites sur les lieux mêmes, sa Chronique du Pérou qui a
longtemps servi comme principale source des connaissance sur ce pays.
Malheureusement la première parti seule a paru, mais malgré cette
circonstance, l'ouvrage de Cieza comptera toujours parmi les plus
importantes et les plus curieuses publications sur l'Amérique. La pre
mière édition de la ' Primera Parte ' parut à Seville en 1553 (Ternaux,
No. 60 ; Rich, No. 24),deux réimpressions en furent faites à Anvers en
1554. Enrique de Vedia dans le second volume de sa collection
(intitulée * Historiadores Primitivos de Indias,' Madrid, 1853) en
donna la dernière edition. Le manuscrit de la troisième partie passa
en 1849 des mains de M. Rich à Londres dans la collection de M.
Lennox à New York. C'est tout qu'on a pu decouvrir des trois parties
inédites de la ' Chronique du Perou. ' "—Paul Tromel.

matter in regard to its early history."— Rich.

THE CONQUEST OF NEW SPAIN BY DIAZ DEL
CASTILLO— 1632 EDITION.
136 DIAZ DEL CASTILLO. Historia Verdadera de la Con-
qvista de la Nveva Espana, Escrita por el Capitan
Bernal Diaz del Castillo Vno de sus Conquistadores
Sacada a Luz por el P. M. Fr. Alonzo Remon, Predica-
dor y Coronista General del Ordende N. S. de la Merced,
Redencion de Cautiuos A la Catholica Magestad del
Mayor Monarca D. Filipe IV. Rey de las Espanos y
Nuevo Mundo N. S. Engraved title, with portrait of
Cortes, view of Mexico, etc. Large 4to, half mottled
sheep, gilt (title and some pages torn, also stained)
Madrid, 1632
Rare. There are at least two editions of this work in folio of the
same date, but one of them apparently about 1 700 . The above has an
additional chapter with the following note :—" This chapter which is
the last in the original was not printed on account of its appearing
useless, and is now added by desire of a lover of the integrity of the
work."
Bernal Diaz del Castillo had been an adventurer in each of the expe
ditions to New Spain, and was the companion of Cortes in all his bat
tles and perils. When he found that neither himself nor many of his
fellow soldiers were once mentioned by Gomara, but that the fame of
all their exploits was ascribed to Cortes, the gallant old veteran laid
hold of his pen with indignation and composed his " True History."
It contains a prolix, minute and confused narrative of all Cortes' oper
ations in such a rude style as might be expected from an illiterate
scholar. But as he relates transactions of which he performed a con
siderable part, his account bears all the marks of authenticity and is
accompanied with such a pleasant naivete, with such interesting de
tails, with such amusing vanity and yet so pardonable in an old soldier
who had been, as he boasts, in one hundred and nineteen battles, as
renders his book one of the most singular that is to be found in any
language.

Suppressed and Very Rare. Printed under the auspices of the

This pretended American MS. is in reality a child's copy-book, full
of rude drawings by a dirty-minded German school-boy, which having

fallen into the hands of a missionary in the wilds of America, and by
him being presented to the Marquis de Paulmy, was taken by the holy
Abbe to be a genuine pictographic M S. Its German origin is estab
lished by the fact, that on page 64 the word "wurst," on 85
" Johann," 119 " Konig," etc., are plainly written. In consequence
of the discovery of its real character, the book was withdrawn from
circulation.

" By an order of the Council of the Indies this work was not per

of the Spaniards, and Robertson says its authors may be ranked
among the historians now distinguished for their industry in research,
or their capacity in judging with respect to the events which they
relate."—Rich.

Together 3 vols. With rubricated titles (one mounted)
and vignette portrait of B. V. M. Half crushed levant
morocco, top edges gilt. Madrid, 1722-23
Very Rare. The " Florida del Inca " is the second edition. The
first was printed in 1605, the third edition, in four small volumes, in
1803. Charlevoix says that this work was well written and of au
thority as far as regards the account of the expeditions of Hernando
de Soto and his successor, Louis de Moscoso, but that the account of
the riches and power of the Floridians is evidently much exaggerated.
The " Historia del Peru " has the date of 1722; it was first printed
in 1617, the Primera Parte in 1609.
The author of these three volumes was the son of one of the con
querors of Peru, Garcilasso de la Vega, by the daughter of the Inca
Haallpa Tupac, and sister of Huayna Capac Inca, the last native
monarch of Peru. He was so proud of both paternal and maternal
origin, that while he assumed the Spanish name of the first, he was
careful to assert his Incarial descent.

" As the author was born in Peru, a descendant from the Incas, and
acquainted with the language and traditions of his countrymen, this
work has been considered of high authority. Robertson denies this,
but allows that it ' contains some curious facts taken from authors
whose works were never published and are now lost.' "—Rich.

4to, old half calf, cloth sides (some pages foxed).
Genoa, Peter Paul Porrus, 15 16
Excessively Rare and Suppressed. This is a tall copy, with
wide margins, of the celebrated Psalter in Hebrew, Greek, Arabic
and Chaldean, of Agostino Giustiniani, Bishop of Nebbio. It is one
of the earliest polyglots ever printed, and is especially valuable as
being the first book with a life of Columbus. This is to be found on
the first page of the twenty-sixth leaf. It was inserted there by
Giustiniani on account of Columbus having frequently proclaimed that
he had been chosen by God to exemplify the thought of prophecy, ex
pressed in verse feur of the Nineteenth Psalm. The first lines of the
life have been translated as follows, viz.:—"Then it was that Chris
topher named Columbus, a Genoese by birth, of low family, who, in
our times, by his energy, explored in a few months a greater extent of
land and of sea than almost all the rest of mankind ever did in all past
ages, etc., etc."
The volume was condemned to be burned by the common hangman
as it contained statements injurious to Columbus and thus indirectly at
tacked Pope Alexander the Sixth's deeding the Continent of America
to Spain, on the assertions of the discoverer. Fernando Columbus, in
his—" Historia del Amirante " and refutation of "The twelve lies of
Giustiniani," says :—" We will only add that considering the many
mistakes and falsehoods found in the said Giustiniani's History and
Psalter, the Senate of Genoa has laid a penalty upon any person that
shall read or keep it; and has caused it to be carefully sought out in
all places it has been sent to, that it may, by public decree, be
destroyed and utterly extinguished."
The above copy was saved from the flames and probably conserved
in honor of the erudite Dominican and ecclesiastic, who, hounded and
persecuted in his native country, found earnest sympathizers in France,
Holland and England.

Rare. A good example of the Oporini press. " 1568. July 6th.
Died, John Oporinus, the most eminent of the early German printers.
He was born at Basel, of poor parents, Jan. 25, 1507, and became
well versed in Latin and Greek and spoke and wrote the former with
purity and fluency. He was employed by the celebrated Froben in
transcribing the works of the Greek authors. He was in partnership
with Robert Winter, and though eminent in their profession, they,
however, met with considerable losses, inasmuch as Winter died insol
vent, and Oporinus was not able to support himself without the assist
ance of his friends, in which condition he died, at the time above
stated. He had six presses constantly at work, usually employed about
fifty men, and published no book which he had not concerted himself.
Notwithstanding his great business, he died about 1 , 500 livres in debt.
He wrote notes on Cicero and Demosthenes."—Timperley.
HERNANDEZ'S RARE MEXICAN WORKS.
202 HERNANDEZ (Francisco). Opera, Cum Tum Inedita ad
Autographi Fidem et Integritatem Expressa Impensa et
Jussu Regio. 3 vols. 4to, sprinkled sheep. Madrid, 1790
Rare. Dr. Ximenez says, in his introduction to the 1615 edition of
Hernandez on the "Botany of Mexico," of which the above is princi
pally comprised, that the work of this author abridged by the Neapoli
tan Nardo Antonio Reecho, by strange ways reached the Indies and
fell into his hands, and that he was induced to publish the translation,
adding such examples as fell in his way.
" Hernandez, medecin et naturaliste distingue, fut envoye par
Philippe II. dans la Nouvelle Espagne pour y faire des Observations
et en decrire les productions. II redigea son travail en Latin, mais sa
mort prematuree l'empecha de publier. On donna son MSS. a M. A.
Recchi qui fit un extrait de ce qui lui parut utile pour la matiere medi-
cale. (Le MSS. autographe de Recchi figure dans le catalogue des
livres de Libri vendus en 1859 numero 1229.) Comme Hernandez, il
mourut avant de l'avoir publie. C'est sur cet abrege que le Dominicain
Fr. Ximenez publia son livre en Espagnol et qu'il le fit imprimer il
Mexico en 1615. Les papiers de Hernandez devinrent le propriete du
Prince Frederic. —Leclerc.
THE " INDIAS OCCIDENTALES " OF HERRERA-1601.
203 HERRERA (Antonio de). Descripcion de las Indias Occi-
dentales de Antonio de Herrera Coronista Mayor de
sv Magd. de las Indias y sv Coronista de Castilla Al Rey
Nuestro Senor. Engraved title (mounted) and maps. 4to,

mottled sheep, gilt. Madrid, Juan Flamenco, 150 1
Very Rare. Herrera has been called " the Prince of American
historians." Having been charged by Philip II. to write the "Gen
eral History of the Acts of the Castillans in the Islands and Firm
Lands of the Ocean Sea," he had at his disposition all the papers and
documents which could be found in the archives and libraries of Spain.
A large portion of Herrera's " History," however, is copied literally
from the manuscrip History or " Chronicle of Las Casas." Robertson
says, that of all the Spanish writers, Herrera furnishes the fullest and
most accurate information concerning the Conquest of Mexico, as well
as every other transaction in America, and that his ' ' Decades " may be
ranked amongst the most judicious and useful historical collections.
Herrera's history comes down to the year 1555.
204 HERRERA. Descripcion de las Indias Occidentales y
Historia General de los Hechos de los Castellanos en las
Islas y Tierre Firme del Mar Oceano. Engraved titles,
maps, etc. 9 vols. in 4. Small folio, mottled sheep, gilt.
Madrid, 1720-30
Very Rare. The engraved titles to each of the eight " Decades "
are different. They represent scenes and events in the History of
Mexico, together with portraits of the most prominent men. Speaking
of the histories of America, Ticknor says :—"Of this class, the first
in importance and the most comprehensive in character, is ' The Gen
eral History of the Indies,' by Antonio de Herrera. It embraces the
period from the first discovery of America to the year 1545; and
as Herrera was a practised writer, and, from his official position as
historiographer to the Indies, had access to every source of informa
tion known in his time, his work, which was printed in 1601, is of
very great value."

This work was to have consisted of four volumes, but it does not
appear that any more was ever published. The second volume was
to contain an account of the manners and customs of the native

inhabitants of Great Chaco, and the third and fourth the author's
three journeys among the different tribes that inhabit that little known
country. The author was apparently one of the Spanish Jesuits who
were expelled from South America and retired to Italy. From having
resided twelve years in the country he describes, his work could not
fail to be interesting.

Large Paper, Rare and Splendid Copy of these "Secret Notices
of America upon the naval, military and political condition of the king
dom of Peru, the provinces of Quito, New Granada and Chili. The
expense of their government and particularly of the management and
care of the Indian Tribes. The cruel oppression and extortion of the
officials and curates of the Indians and the scandalous abuses introduced
among the inhabitants by the Missionaries. Examination of their origin
and cause of their continuation for three centuries. Written faithfully
from the information of his Excellency the Marquis de la Ensenada,
first Secretary of State, and presented as secret reports to the King. "
' ' The benevolent and virtuous Las Casas has been accused of ex
aggeration and falsehood in his account of the cruelties of the Spani
ards to the Indians, exercised upon them soon after the discovery of
their country up to the middle of the sixteenth century. But although
his accounts were denied and declared to be calumnious, yet notwith
standing we find the natives of Peru treated with the same cruelty for
more than two hundred years afterwards; and we have in this work
testimonies thereof, which it will be difficult for the most zealous de
fender of the humanity of the Spaniards to refute. A new era, how
ever, has now dawned in that country, and it is to be presumed that
those who have fought for the blessings of a free and independent
government, will allow the original possessors of the soil they now
occupy, to enjoy their share of the rights to which they are entitled;
for are they not men and brothers.—Rich.

among other matters, in the direction of American philology. It in

cludes much information gathered from the collection of Ramusio in
relation to the languages of New France and for those of Brazil from
Lery.
" This work," says Charlevoix, " which was ere long translated into
French and published by the same Elzevirs in 1640, is full of excellent
research, as well in regard to the European settlements in America, as
in regard to the natural history and the character and manners of the
Americans. The author has followed the best sources. He was,
moreover, a man of ability, evincing everywhere great discernment and
sound criticism, except in some places, where he consulted only Pro
testant authors, and yields too much to religious prejudice. He treats
in the second book of the Island of Newfoundland, Cape Breton, and
other islands of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Saguenay River; of the
River St. Lawrence, of which he gives an exact description; of the
city of Quebec, of the Indians best known, of Acadia, and of all that
occurred in that country up to his time between the French and
English. In the fourth book he gives an account of Florida. He
recounts all the attempts of the Spaniards to settle there ; the expedi
tions of the French; the settlement of St. Augustine by Menendez, and
of the resistance which he had to make to the attack of the English
under Sir Francis Drake."

of the manners, customs and religion of the savages of America, particu

the Iroquois; consequently his work is the most exact we have upon

Original Edition. With the bookplates of Jose Gomez de la
Cortina and John Pinkerton.
' ' Lahontan was a freethinker and consequently had but little respect
for the clergy; it is not therefore to be wondered at that he was per
secuted in France and his work traduced. The character given of the
author and the work by the Jesuits has been adopted by later writers
who ought to have known better. A writer in the North American
Review observes that the Baron seems to have been an ardent and enter
prising character with more wit than discretion but that his accounts
bear every mark of authenticity and are quite confirmed by contem
porary as well as subsequent writers on the same country."—Rich.

Very Rare. This French translation published in Holland was
unknown to Ternaux.
" Ternaux No. 278 and Brunet each quote a French version of this
publisher, of 1604, which, Thiele says, is certainly a mistake. The
text is a translation from the Dutch and not the same as the edition of
1579."—Sabin.
" The character of Las Casas may be inferred from his career. He
was one of those to whose gifted minds are revealed those glorious
moral truths which, like the lights of heaven, are fixed and the same
forever. He was a reformer, and had the virtues and errors of a re
former. He was inspired by one great and glorious idea. This was
the key to all his thoughts, all that he said or wrote, and to every act
of his long life. It was this which made him reckless of obstacles, led
him to count too confidently on the co-operation of others, animated his
discussion, sharpened his invective, too often steeped his pen in the
\
gall of personal vituperation, led him to gross exaggeration, and a

blind credulity of evil that rendered him unsafe as a counsellor, and
unsuccessful in the practical concerns of life. . . . The best com
mentary on his character is the estimation which he obtained in the
court of his sovereign. A liberal pension was settled on him after his
last return from America, which he chiefly expended on charitable ob
jects. No measure of importance relating to the Indians was taken
without his advice. He lived to see the fruits of his efforts in the posi
tive amelioration of their condition, and in the popular admission of
those great truths which it had been the object of his life to unfold."—

Very Rare. This book relates principally to the " New Laws"
for the Indies made in 1542, but neither this author nor Herrera
appear to have had any knowledge of their having been printed in
1543. According to Leclerc, Antonio de Leon Piuello was a native
of Peru, studied at Lima and was Chronicler of the Indies. He wrote
many important works, most of which are still in manuscript, among
others an American Bibliography. He died about 1633.

Rare. " The author of this little work, which contains a Catalogue
of Books Relating to America, afterwards took the surname of Pinello,

by which, and by Barcia s edition of this work, printed in 1737, he is
much better known than by this and the name of Leon. Barcia's
numerous additions are so clumsily thrown together that it is quite a
relief to refer from it to this neat and well-arranged little manual."—

selfe so honestly and warily during the time of his abode there, that he

singularly and generally beloved of all the inhabitants and places
where he was most resident. He did most diligently and consider

Black Letter and Excessively Rare. This early Spanish
translation of Livy was made by Fray Pedro de la Vega. It is one of
the rarest of the rare examples of a translation of a Latin classic into

Spanish, and is also famous on account of the very curious and early
Spanish wood engravings with which it is illustrated. This copy can
be considered a fair example, notwithstanding the title is mended and
has an MS. name thereon, some pages are stained, and over the prefa
tory epistle are MSS. The title, epistle, table, etc., take twelve
leaves, and the folios of this copy run from i. to cccccxxxiii.

" When in the long series of ages we search for three men who, by
the grandeur and influence of their discoveries, have contributed most
to the progress of geography or of our knowledge of the globe, the

modest name of the Venetian traveller, Marco Polo, presents itself in
the same line with the names of Alexander the Great and Christopher
Columbus. "—Walckenaer.

age of eighteen, but after introducing great disorders into the monas
tery where he lived, he finally quitted it, in company with a very beau
tiful girl in his own station of life, and they, for several years, traveled
about together. He has long had the credit of being the inventor of
the " Macaronic " Poetry—a mixture of Latin, Italian and the Mantuan
dialect. He frequently recounts his own adventures, and, says the
" Biographie Universelle,"—"Sous cette enveloppe bouffonne, on
trouve des pensees et des maximes d'un grand sens, des traits satiri-
ques sur les grands, sur la vanite des titres, etc. , et ces traits originaux
et piquants sont presque toujourssans amertume."

Priced ,£11 15s. in a recent English catalogue. This celebrated
work is one of the corner-stones of a good library, and is particularly
-r valuable to Archaeologists, Artists, Numismatists, and others, as it
brings together and represents in one plate (or more), all the famous
remains of Antiquity of the same kind, whether Statues, Busts, Bas-
reliefs, Coins, Medals, etc. ; so that, for instance, all the noted Statues
of Venus are exhibited together. Each object has a reference to the
collection in which it is preserved. The copious descriptions are in
French and Latin.
" Of the importance of this great book to the antiquarian and the
historical world it is hardly possible to speak too highly. Its object
was to lay before the public a vast series of objects of ancient art, of
architecture, of sculpture, etc., and to illustrate the whole by plates,
executed in the highest style of which the age admitted. It is to this
very book that the foundation of all our most important branches of
archseological knowledge of the present day may be ascribed."—Gen

of the Academy of History at Madrid. Rich possessed a manuscript

December, 1867, inclusive); also Indices to First and
Second Series. Together 38 vols. 4to, cloth (some pages
foxed) London, 1850-68
The early series are very scarce of this work of constantly increas
ing value and importance and which no library should be without
Sets are now difficult to procure complete, and are daily enhancing in
value. The earlier series have been for some time out of print.
" Notes and Queries " was established for the purpose of furnish
ing to all lovers of literature a Common-place Book, in which they
might, on the one hand, record for their own use and the use of
others those minute facts—those elucidations of a doubtful phrase or
disputed passage—those illustrations of an obsolete custom—those
scattered biographical anecdotes, or unrecorded dates—which all who
read occasionally stumble upon ; and, on the other, of supplying a
medium through which they might address those Queries, by which
the best informed are sometimes arrested in the midst of their labors,
in the hope of receiving solutions of them from some of their brethren.
The success which attended this endeavor to supply a want long felt
by literary men, was manifested shortly after its first being published
by the necessity of permanently enlarging the size of the paper ; by
the increase in the circulation, and by the rising up of contributors
and subscribers in all quarters of the globe, which enables the guild
of litterateurs to waft their Queries " from Indus to the Pole."

by his nephew M. N. (Nougaret).
Richardière says that the most interesting part of the work is that
wh ich relates to the islands of Porto Rico, Curassoa, Grenada, and the
Bermudas, and to New Mexico about which places it would be difficult
to find such interesting and satisfactory details in any other work. It
bears sufficient evidence in its typographical execution of having
been printed in France.

among historians as the " Nuevas Leyes." Rich calls the volume "the
first collection of printed laws relating to the New World " ; and Ter-
naux, ' ' le premier recueil qui ait été publié. " It is not, however, a
collection or " Recopilacion," but two ordinances of Charles V. , issued
especially to insure the better treatment of the Indians, and for limiting
the partition of lands among the conquerors. Leon Pinelo states, on
the authority of Juan de Grijalva, that these laws " tan odiosas," were
prompted by the publication of the manuscript tract, ' ' Diez y seis reme,
dios contra la peste que destruye las Indias." They were issued at
Barcelona, Nov. 20, 1542, completed at Valladolid, July 4, 1543, and
ordered to be printed and enforced immediately throughout the Indies.
They were announced by the public herald in Mexico, May 24, 1544.

Scarce. " The author would have rendered a more important and
honorable service to the Spaniards, if instead of endeavoring to discúl
pate them from calumnies not entirely without foundation, he had
manifested to foreigners, the useful measures which the Spanish minis
try were taking to remedy the abuses of their colonial government. "—

EXQUEMELIN'S HISTORY OF THE BUCCANEERS—THE
1775 EDITION IN FRENCH.
348 OEXMELIN (Alexandre Olivier). Histoire des Aventuriers
Filibustiers qui se sont Signalés dans les Indies, Contenant
ce qu'ils y a fait Remarquable, avec la Vie, les Mœurs, et
les Coutumes des Boucaniers et des Habitants de St.
Domingue et de la Tortue; une Description Exacte de
ces Lieux et un Etat des Offices, tant Ecclésiastiques, que
Séculiers et ce que les Grands Princes de l'Europe y Pos
sèdent. Maps andplates. 4 vols. small 8vo, mottled sheep
gilt, red edges. Trevoux, 1775
Rare. Reprinted from the Trevoux edition of 1774. The author's
name is rather singularly changed from Exquemelin. It is also some
times spelled Esquemelin.
The third volume has the following title :—"Histoire des Avan-
turiers et Filibustiers qui se sont Signalés dans les Indes, Contenant
le- Journal du Voyage Fait à la Mer du Sud, le Tout Enrichi de Cartes
Géographiques et de Figures en Taille Douce par le Sieur Raveneau de
Lussan. "
The title of the fourth volume reads:—" Histoire des Pirates Anglois
depuis leur Etablissement dans ITsle de la Providence jusqu'à présent,
Contenant toutes leurs Aventures, Pirateries, Meutres, Cruautés,
Exces, etc., avec la Vie et les Aventures des Deux Femmes Pirates,
Marie Read et Anne Bonny, et un Extrait des Loix et des Ordonnances
Concernant la Piraterie. Le Tout Enrichi de Cartes Geographiques et
de Figures en Taille Douce, Traduite de l'Anglois du Capitaine Charles
Johnson."
This history of the Buccaneers was first printed at Amsterdam in
Dutch, in 1678, and was said to have been written by John Esquemeling.
It was translated into Spanish, from Spanish into English, and from
English into French. In the latter translation the author's name
appears to have been changed. M. Eyries in the " Biographie Univer
selle," says that the first translation printed in 1686 was published
from the manuscript of the author by Frontignières, who, he says,
printed the work as if translated from the English, which no doubt was
the case; but M. Eyries appears to have been ignorant of the existence
of any previous edition in any language.

2 vols. in 1. Large 4to, bound by Cape in crushed levant

Seville, en la Empreta de Juam Cromberger, 1535
Excessively Rare and Black Letter, with the full title on
back of title. The second volume is numbered folios I-LXIIII, and
was printed at Valladolid by Francisco Fernandez de Cordoua, 1557.
A four-page account of this early piece of Americana will be found
in Harrisse's " Bibliotheca Americana," where, among other things, it
is stated—" The present work is entirely different from the 'Natural
Ilystoria de las Indias,' published in 1526. This is the genuine
' General and Natural History of the Indies,' of Oviedo so often
quoted. It was originally divided into three parts, numbering in all
fifty books. The first part contains nineteen books, and, we think, a
portion of the fiftieth (on shipwrecks). These nineteen and a-half
books were republished at Salamanca in 1547. In 1557, the twen

tieth book, which is the first of the second part, was printed separately.
No other portion of this work appeared in print until 1851
As to the composition of the work, it seems to date as far back as 1526.
Mr. Ticknor infers from several passages in Books xxxm and xxxiv,
that Oviedo kept each book or each large division open for additions as
long as he lived. The work, it is well known, was written from official
documents sent to him expressly as the authorized Chronicler of the
Indies; an office held probably before by Fray Bernardo Gentil, and
afterwards by Herrera and Solis. "
" Among the persons who early came to America, and have left im
portant records of their adventures and times, one of the most con
siderable was Gonzales F. de Oviedo His ' Natural and Gen
eral History of the Indies ' fills fifty books, of which the first portions,
embracing twenty-one, were published in 1525, while the rest remain
in manuscript. He tells us that he had the Emperor's authority to
demand from the different governors of Spanish America the docu
ments he might need for his work; and as his divisions of the subject
are those which naturally arise from its geography, he appears to have
gone judiciously about his task He was evidently a learned
man, and maintained a correspondence with Ramusio, the Italian
geographer, which could not fail to be useful to both parties. And he
was desirous to write in a good and eloquent style, in which he some
times succeeded. He has, on the whole, produced a series of accounts
of the natural condition, the aboriginal inhabitants, and the political
affairs of the wide-spread Spanish possessions in America, as they
stood in the middle of the sixteenth century, which is of great value as
a vast repository of facts, and not wholly without merit as a composi
tion."—Ticknor.

Rare. This rejoinder of Dom Pernetty, in which he exposes the
blunders and unfair conduct of De Pauw, is much more ably written
than his first work, which was published at Berlin in 1769.
Bound up at the end of the second volume is—" De l'Amerique et
des Americains ou Observations Curieuses du Philosophe La Douceur
qui a Parcouru cet Hemispere pendant la Derniere Guerre en Faisant
le Noble Metier de Tuer les Hommes sans les Manger," Berlin, 1771. •
Rich speaks as follows concerning this rare brochure—"A lively
and humorous defense of the American Indians against the attacks of
De Pauw, attributed by Meusel to M. Poivre, but Barbier says that
it is either by M. Bonneville or Dom Pernetty. Now Poivre was never
in America; he was employed in the East Indies at the time this dis
cussion was going forward. It appears also that Monsieur Bonneville
was only eleven years of age at the time. As it is not probable that
Dom Pernetty wrote two books on the subject in the same year,,all
these conjectures as to the authorship of this work are apparently
erroneous."

Rare. The licences are dated in Madrid in 1688, but there appears
to be no reason to doubt of its having been printed in Antwerp, as
expressed on the title. Alcedo says that this work will .always be es
teemed for the eloquence of its style and the truth and judgment with
which it is written. Its author, on his way to his bishopric, was taken
prisoner ,by Morgan, the pirate, about the time of the sacking of
Panama.

Madrid, Iuan Goncalez, 1629
Very Rare. The great value of this work is on account of the
additions to Books VI. and VII., containing an account of America
and the " Pervviana." Below the regal coat-of-arms of Spain on the
title are two hemispheres, that to the right being noticeable on
account of the North American continent being styled " N. Espana,"
and the South " Peru."

Mexico, en Casa de Pedro Ocharte, MDLXIII.
Superlatively Rare and Black Letter. Almost the only
perfect copy known of the above remarkable Collection of Laws,
the first printed in Mexico and the second issued for the Government
of the Indies. So far back as 1832 Rich priced a copy £\b 16s. At
the sale of the " Bibliotheca Mejicana " at Puttick and Simpson's, in
1869, a copy lacking title and wormed sold for .£23. The Dorman
copy was sold by us in 1886 for $360. Other copies have been sold
before and since then for as high as $600.
The above is absolutely perfect, and has not a fac-simile or missing
letter in it. The folios run from 1 to 213, including the title, which
is numbered in, and 5 folios of tables at end. Although, as in a large
number of early printed books, the Index folios at the bottom of the
pages are somewhat mixed, the book is perfect, and both the pagination
and the index folios combined show its completeness.
" As early as 1556 Antonio Maldonado had proposed to frame a

lario ' must be considered the first step in that direction."—Harrisse.

Very Rare. This account of the persecution of Bishop Cardenas
of Paraguay, and others, by the Jesuits, and which gives a great
amount of information on the condition of Paraguay under the Order
of Jesus in the seventeenth century, is neither mentioned by Sabin nor
Rich. There has apparently been no title-page at the beginning of
the work, and it was seemingly not printed for sale, as it also lacks
the usual licenses, approbations, etc. There is, however, a title,
without date or place of publication, to the " Life of Bishop Carde

inclusive of the title just named.— Vide other numbers relating to

Finely engravedfalse title. Small folio, handsomely bound
by Niedree in yellow calf gilt, inside gold borders, gilt
edges. Madrid, Bernardo de Villa Diego, 1684
Very Rare, First Edition, frequently reprinted and translated
into most of the modern languages.
Solis is highly esteemed by the Spaniards for the beauty of his style
and the purity of his language ; and in these respects is considered as
one of the most classical writers Spain has produced. His merits as a
historian, have been better estimated by foreigners and by no one with
more judgment than by Robertson, who describes him as—"destitute
of that patient industry in research which conducts to the knowledge of
truth; a stranger to that impartiality which weighs evidence with cool
attention and ever eager to establish his favorite system of exalting the
character of Cortes into that of a perfect hero, exempt from error and
adorned with every virtue—he is less solicitous to discover what was
true than to relate what might appear splendid. "
Solis's work ends with the surrender of Mexico and capture of
Guatimozin.

VERY RARE EDITION OF TORQUEMADA'S MONARCHIA
INDIANA, MADRID, 1723.
462 TORQUEMADA (Juan de). Los Veinte i Uno Libros
Rituales i Monarchia Indiana, con el Origen y Guerras de
los Indios Occidentales de sus Poblaciones, Descubrimi-
ento, Conquista Conversion y otras Cosas Maravillosas de
la misma Tierra, Distribuydos en Tres Tomos. Engraved
titles and colored map. 3 vols. smaH folio, half calf, cloth
sides. Madrid, 1723
Very Rare. Reprinted from the edition of 1615, under the editor
ship of Barcia. The first volume treats of the Indians of New Spain
and of their origin; of the customs of the kingdoms of Mexico, Tez-
cuco, Azcaputzalco, Tlacupa ; and of the origin of the republics of
Tlaxcallan, Chollula and Huetzozingo, together with the history of
the conquest by the Spaniards. The second volume contains—a
comparison of the customs of the Mexicans with those of the nations
of antiquity; and the third relates to ecclesiastical affairs, including
the lives of many holy members of the Order of St. Francis, to which
the author belonged. Some curious chapters of the original MSS.
were omitted by the orders of the Holy Inquisition, particularly one
entitled " Como el Demonio qui so Remedar a Dios Escogiendo
Pueblo," or " How the Devil wished to imitate the Almighty by-
choosing a favored people," probably comparing the migration of the
Toltecs to that of the Israelites.
Clavigero says—"this history is, without question, the most
complete in respect to the antiquity of Mexico of any hitherto pub
lished. The author resided in Mexico from his birth to his death,
knew the Mexican language well, conversed with the Indians for up
wards of fifty years, collected a great number of ancient pictures and
excellent manuscripts, and labored at his work more than twenty
years."

Rare. " Bandini's Life of Vespucci is a mere panegyric
throughout. He does not hesitate to call him the discoverer of
America, which he makes him appear to have been, from the dates
he gives of his two first voyages. But the Spanish writers have
proved that these dates are incorrect; and that the first of these
voyages, if made at all, must have been in 1499 instead of 1497.
But even if Bandini's dates were correct, all that could be said
about it would be, that Vespucius had followed a track which Colum
bus had pointed out."—Rich.

Villa Senor y Sanchez, the author of the second described work, was
a native Mexican and the Royal Cosmographer of New Spain. The
information given relating to the population of Mexican villages was
written from official reports of the various magistrates of the districts.
Brasseur de Bourbourg says the author was known as a distinguished
mathematician and an exact historian. The Bibliotheca Mejicana copy
sold for £4 2s. , i. e. , $20. 50.
Until Humboldt's work appeared, these were the most important
historical and statistical accounts of New Spain that had been pub

Handsome Example of a Black Letter from the early press of
Salamanca, but with a few pages stained slightly. The above is the
original edition of Garcian's translation of Xenophon into Spanish
and which was the first in that language. From the above imprint, it
would appear that during the sixteenth century some of the well-
known Junta or Giunta family transported themselves from Italy and
carried on the printing business in Spain. They also had a press at
Burgos.

Rare. This is a life of the famous Cardinal Ximenez under whose
auspices was prepared the famous Polyglot Bible known as the
" Complutensian," which has always been considered the model of all
subsequent versions of the Bible in different languages.
Prescott states that the character of Ximenez—" was of that stern
and lofty cast which seems to rise above the ordinary wants and
weaknesses of humanity. His genius of the severest order, like
Dante's or Michael Angelo's in the regions of fancy, impresses us
with ideas of power that excite admiration akin to terror."

more attention and esteem than that of Ximeno. Fuster's work is
an indespensable companion to the "Biblioteca" of Ximeno, as it
contains many additions to that work and very long extracts from the
ancient and unedited Lemosin Poets.
" Would to God that every province of Spain had contained in
dividuals equally gealous for their literary glory, that a complete
Spanish bibliography might now be made. It is fortunate, how
ever, that Ximeno has given us that of a province which is second
to none in the number and merit of distinguished men."—Salva.

REMARKABLE SIXTEENTH CENTURY LEGAL MANU

SCRIPT, WRITTEN ON PAPER MADE BY THE NATIVE
MEXICANS.
512 —"ESPANOLES EN MEXICO, Sêc. XVI."
An Unique and Extraordinary Mexican Manuscript of the
Sixteenth Century, written on twelve leaves of vegetable paper
made by the Indians. Narrow large folio (measuring over
nineteen and a half inches by nine and a quarter). Half
morocco. S^c. XVI.
Unique and of the Highest Degree of Rarity, it being an
original manuscript written in Mexico, not long after the Conquest of
that country by the Spaniards. There are altogether thirteen leaves,
of which one is blank. The document is of a legal character and has
many signatures scattered through it.
It is written on the paper known as " Metl," made from either birch
bark or the leaves of the " Agave Americana," and of the same char
acter as that upon which is inscribed the "Codex Mexicanus," that
famous Mexican document now in the Royal Collection at Dresden.
Manuscripts in Spanish, written on paper made by the native Mexi
cans, are of extreme rarity. The above is as fine a specimen as can be
found, and is lettered on the back as given in the title above . Spanish
experts, who have seen the manuscript, find it impossible to decipher
but small portions of it, and those plainly prove its jurisprudential
character. This has always been considered one of the most remark
able rarities in the " Museum del Montino."
CAMPOMANES ON THE SPANISH COMMERCE OF THE
INDIES—AN UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT.
513 5W<S.— " Reflexiones sobre el Commercio Espagnol y¿E
Indias por el Sr. Dn. PEDRO RODRIGUEZ CAM
POMANES." Hispano-American Manuscript, consisting of
six hundred and eighty-eight leaves (i. <?., 1376 pages) of
Eighteenth Century Spanish Script. Thich small folio,
mottled calf, uncut. S.rac. XVIII.
Unique Original Manuscript, giving a full description of the
Spanish trade with the Indies and inclusive of what is now the United
States. At the commencement is a table of contents, with the chapter
headings. An entire chapter is devoted to the trade with New England,
another to Virginia and Maryland, others to the Carolinas and Georgia,
etc. The volume is unpublished. Salva says—" Campomanes distin
guished himself in the latter part of the XVIIIth Century by his virtue,
wisdom and learning as a magistrate, and by the purity of his language
as a writer; the most celebrated of his works is the " Tratudode la Re
galia de Amortizacion."
Campomanes was the author of quite a number of other works, pub
lished in the middle of the last and beginning of this century, of which
copies will be found described in the Salva Catalogue, where also is
another manuscript like the above, almost entirely in his handwriting.
Robertson, in his " History of America," says that the books of this
author—" are in high estimation among the Spaniards; and it is a de
cisive evidence of the progress of their own ideas, that they are capable
of relishing an author whose sentiments are so liberal."

Unique Original HisPANO-Ai,fERicAN Manuscripts, both of
which are carefully written. The first described has a neatly sketched

tables and gives separate accounts of the properties of the Count de
Galve and the Duke de Albuquerque, the last named being dated 1712.
There are several official stamps of the Spanish government on the docu

leaves (454 pages) of nicely written Spanish script. Folio,
mottled sheep.
Unique Manuscript Copy of the Original Unpublished Work
compiled about the year 1690 and which is now in the National Library
of Madrid. According to a note in the handwriting of the Licenciado
Domingo de Guzman del Monte, of Havana, it was made for him in
1849. His signature dated at Madrid appears under this statement on
the title page, and he has added a large quantity of manuscript notes
relating to Don Gabriel de Villalobos, who lived during the latter half
of the Seventeenth century. The author was an admiral of Spain as
well as Marques de Varinas and of the same family as Francisco de
Villalobos, the author of the famous " Problemas de Uillalobos," the
first edition of which was printed at Zamora in 1543 and whose work is
with justice considered by the Spanish Academy one of the classics of
Spain and himself as one the best physicians of his time.
SEVENTEENTH CENTURY AMERICAN PILOT GUIDE.

Seventeenth century script in Spanish. Small folio, half

Unique Original Spanish Manuscript of the Seventeenth cen
tury. This valuable work is a "pilot guide" for America and the
West Indies. It has on the title and the last page the signature of
13° THE DEL MONTE LIBRAR Y.
"Don Juan Joseph Navarro." The volume has evidently seen service
at sea as some pages are water-stained and a few at the beginning are
slightly torn on the margins. This unpublished MS. outside of its
interest to collectors of Americana has a scientific value, as it gives full
information respecting the currents of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans
near the coasts of both North and South America, as well as explain
ing the way in which the navigators of the Eighteenth century used to
handle their ships.

manuscript. Small folio, limp vellum. Sêc. XVII.
Unique Original Spanish Manuscript of the Seventeenth cen
tury and which gives a thorough account of the condition of Peru
under the Viceroyalty of the Duke of La Palata. They are his written
instructions to his successor and like all those similarly executed docu
ments, throw a wonderful light upon not only the history, but the in
ternal resources of the colonies, social condition of the people and
methods of the Spanish Governors. It was usual for a Viceroy upon
giving up his position to have a thorough synopsis made of his term
of office and the conditions under which his successor would assume
gubernatorial powers.
INTERESTING MANUSCRIPTS RELATIVE TO THE
JESUITS AND BISHOP PALAFOX-Y-MENDOZA OF
PUEBLA, MEXICO.
518 " PAPELES TEOLOGICOS y POLITICOS del
Siglo XVII. y Principios del XVIII." Being 718
pages of manuscript with some printed matter towards the
end. Thick 4to, limp vellum. S;ec. XVII. et XVIII.
Unique Original. —" Manuscritos de la Biblioteca del Marquis
de Santa Cruz Comprador por Don Del Monte Madrid, 1848," as a
memorandum states under the title. There are some thirty-one differ
ent documents or copies thereof in this volume. The larger number
are directed against the Jesuits. Some relate to the Franciscans, but
the most interesting to Americans are those parts of these MSS. which
relate to the celebrated Juan de Palafox y Mendoza, Bishop of Puebla
and Viceroy of Mexico, whose canonization met with such terrible op
position from the Jesuits. In the Biblioteca Mejicana, 1869, and in a
note to a copy of his " Virtudes del Indio " we read— " Palafox was a
second Las Casas in representing to the Spanish government the
wretched condition of the Americans and in advocating their amelior
ation. His zeal and humanity were most conspicuous in this exposi
tion addressed to the king in which he has described with much inge
nuousness, the good dispositions of the natives. The work has thence
acquired the title of the ' Virtudes del Indio.' But so true has it al
ways been that ' Veritas odium parit, ' that secrecy was necessary in
printing the book (about the year 1650) without any title page, date or
place of publication, and it has become one of the scarcest works relat
ing to the affairs of the Indies."

pieces of printed matter; the first is—" Memorial delos Svgedido en la

456 leaves (9 12 pages) of beautifully written Spanish script,
with nine illuminatedpages, two of them being coats-of-arms,
also one fullpage of heraldic bearings and pen scroll work,
thirty-one artistically designed initial letters, head and tail
pieces, and various smaller designs of similar character scat
tered throughout the text. Thick small folio, pink velvet,
with green and silver ties. Sêc. XVIII.
Unique Original Manuscript of Eighteenth Century His
pano-American Execution. There are two illuminated title pages,
around which are floriated borders. On one is a bird killing its young
and on the other a lion attacking an eagle.
There are three coats-of-arms as stated above. The first is of the
Duke de Albuquerque, Viceroy and Captain-General of New Spain,
"y Presidente de su Real Chancelleria de Mexico." The second repre
sents a lion holding the royal arms of Spain in one paw and a sword
in the other, while with his hind legs he is crushing a prostrate female
figure who is holding a torch ; below are three separate shields, one of
which is the heraldic blazonry of Great Britain. The third coat-of-
arms is that of the Marquis de Castelldos Vius.
There are also several curious emblematical page drawings; one repre
sents the infant Hercules ; another, a hand holding a lighted torch

beneath a dome around which insects circle ; another is, of a kneeling
virgin with nimbus, and around her are trophies of war; another
represents a cremational effect—two human beings outstretched, with
fire proceeding from grassy mounds above them ; and another is of a
crown and sword.
The signature of Diego de Guzman is at the end of the Preface,
dated 1713, of this interesting collection of verses, etc., which at one
time was in the library of the Marquis de Santa Cruz, whose book
plate is on an end paper. The whole work is full of poetry from the
pens of eminent Hispano-Peruvians attached to the Court of the Vice
roy to whom it is dedicated.
As a volume of high literary merit composed by South Americans it
deserves a place of prominence in one of our great public libraries.
The allusions throughout the verses are genuinely American, in a
literary sense, and the whole work as an unit exhibits the high literary
culture of Peru nearly two centuries ago. The volume also has great
value as containing early Eighteenth century illuminated work by a
military official of Callao and Lima.

Excessively Rare Second Edition and of which Dr. John
Hammond Trumbull, the only person in the United States who can
read the book, says : " While the first edition of Eliot's ' Bible ' is the
more attractive to collectors of rare Americana, and deserves the pre
eminence that is accorded to it, as a monument of early American typo
graphy and as the first version of the Bible printed in the New World,
it should not be forgotten that to students of the American languages
and the general philologist, the Second is the more valuable; and that
all critical references to Eliot's version are, or should be, made to this
revised and corrected version-"
This copy is unusually interesting on account of having the names
of Indian chiefs and others written on the three blank pages of the
book. There are also numerous marginalia written in the Indian dia
lect. On the back of the Index to the Old and New Testaments are
the following: "Asaph, his book .... Asaph, his Bible . . . .
Sent to Exp. Mayhew .... Rec'd from the Rev. Mr. Mayhew from
Martha's Vineyard, March 22, 1720-21 . . . . ad february the 14 year

the back of the title to the New Testament are some bible references
and also five paragraphs in the Indian dialect which have affixed to
them the dates 1634, 1642, 1661, 1675 and 1543.
On the last page of the New Testament are five lines in Indian and
on the verso facing the Psalms are other notes, among them—" I am
Zacry Zacry ad Cay head. I have sad my name ad March 411-13-
1723-24." Below is a somewhat similar quotation to that already
given relating to "Zacry 1746-47." The volume has been carefully
mended where necessary, some of the margins are cut into, a few pages
are stained, a fac-simile leaf has been added for chapters 8 and 9 of
Genesis and four leaves of the Psalms are also in fac-simile.

morocco, elegantly gilt tooled, inside gold tooled borders,

London, Printedfor Nath. Brook
at the Angel in Cornhil, 1659
Extraordinarily Rare. A very fine and clean copy with a few
pages most carefully mended. This beautiful copy contains prefaces
to both the third and fourth parts signed Ferdinando Gorges. The
imperfect Menzies copy which lacked these prefaces sold for $200.00.
The above contains the four parts complete with their respective titles,
the frontispiece representing "America," and the very rare map.
The book contains four distinct works paged separately, the third of
which is Johnson's " H'story of New England; or. Wonder Working
Providence," 1654, with a new title, etc., and of which Rich says:
" It is altogether a very singular performance, containing a great deal
of important information, relative to the early history of New England
and particularly of the district of Maine, which was originally granted
to the author's grandfather, by whom the second work was written."
" This work is seldom found complete. Collation:—General title,
date 1659, one leal! To the Judicious Reader, two leaves; a Des
cription of New England, p. 51; Title, A Briefe Narration of the
Originall Undertakings, Etc., 1658, one leaf; A Description of New
England, p. 57; Title, America Painted to the Life, etc., 1658, one
leaf; To the Reader, one leaf; Wonder-working Providence of Sion's
Savior, P. 236; Title, America Painted to the Life, 1659, one leaf; the
Preface, one leaf; A True Relation of all the Spaniards Proceedings
in America, etc., P. 52; the general table and books sold by N.
Brook, ten leaves. Prefixed is a figure representing America, under
which are four verses, and after ' To the Judicious Reader' is a map
' Americae descrip.' "—Lowndes.
There is much confusion in the books attributed to Gorges, who has
appropriated to himself the authorship of a work written by another as
appears by the following extract from Prince's " New England,"
published in 1736:— " When I went to England, I met with a variety
of books and pamphlets relating to this country. Among others is a
history of New England from 1628 to 1654, 4to, London, 1654. The
running title of the book is ' Wonder Working Providence,' etc., and
in the genuine title page no author is named; wherein the work is
wrongly assigned to Sir F. Gorges; but the true author was Mr.
Johnson, of Woburn, in New England, as the late Judge Sewall
assured me, as of a thing familiarly known among the fathers of the
Massachusetts Colony. The third of these books and of which the
title is given above, was no more or less than the identical ' History
of New England.' "

Extreme .y Rare. Collation—eight preliminary leaves and
leaves numbered 1 to 407; 272-77 omitted in numbering, by mistake
of the printer.
A beautiful copy, and the late Sir William Tite's, of the original
edition of this extremely rare Guarani-Spanish dictionary. The above

was also lot 5789 of the Brinley Library, and was purchased for $195
at that sale. For the full collation, etc., see J. Platzmann's
" Auswahli Amerik. Grammatiken," etc. (1876), pp. 16-17, where
this dictionary is described as " von ganz ausserordentlicher Selten-
heit," and Ch. Leclerc "Cat. Maisonneuve," No. 1345, where it is
similarly characterized as " excessivement rare," and among the most
important of dictionaries of American languages.
Ruiz de Montoya, a Jesuit missionary to Paraguay, was born at
Lima iu 1583, and died there in 1652.

Iente Senor Don Martin Enriquez Visorrey desta
Nueua Espana. Large 4to, half morocco, gilt.
Mexico, Antonio di Spinosa, 15 71
Extremely Rare and Unique, as it has numerous additions
throughout the text of a different Mexican indigenous dialect to that
given by Molina. Portions of the prefatory pages are short in
this copy, also the last page of index. In the earlier edition of
Brunet's " Manuel," this work is mentioned as being the earliest speci
men of American printing known.
Lord Kingsborough's copy of the 1571 Molina cost him ^50, i. e. ,
$250. It was afterwards marked by Thorpe of London, in 1843, for
^28, i. e., $140.
The author (Molina), a native of Spain, was taken in early life to
Mexico, about the year 1523, where he soon learned the Mexican lan
guage, and even as a child, acted as interpreter between the first
missionaries and the native Indians. He afterwards devoted his life to
the propagation of useful knowledge in the Mexican language, and his
known works bear testimonv to his great zeal.

569 GAGE (Thomas). New Survey of the West Indies, or the
English-American, his Travail by Sea and Land. With
maps. Small folio, half calf. London, 1655
Very Rare and the Brinley copy. The first edition of this work
was published in 1648, without maps, and like the above, which is the
second edition, was dedicated to the Cromwellian General Lord Fair
fax. It was much celebrated in its time, having been frequently
reprinted and translated into French, Dutch, German, etc.
Harris says— " Our next difference with Spain was under Cromwell's
Protectorate, who encouraged Father Gage to publish his account of
the Spanish West Indies."
The sub-title reads—"Containing a Journal of Three Thousand
and Three Hundred Miles within the Mainland of America Wherein
is Set forth his Voyage from Spain to St. John Vlhua, and from thence
to Xalappa, to Tlaxcalla, the City of Angels, and forward to Mexico;
with the Description of that Great City as it was in former times and
also at this Present; likewise his Journey from Mexico through the
Provinces of Guaxaca, Chiapa, Guatamala, Vera Paz, Truxillo, Coma-
yagua, with his Abode Twelve Years about Guatemala, and especially
in the Indian Towns of Mixco, Pinola, Pitapa, Amatitlan, as also his

Sculpture representing the most Considerable Rarities therein
Described." Small folio, calf, gilt (rebacked). London, 1666
Very Scarce. " Published in the year of the Great Fire, therefore
this is a rare work," says Allibone, and Rich states—" This work is a
translation of the ' Histoire Naturelle et Morale des Antilles,' Rotter
dam, 1658 and 1665, attributed to De Rochefort. Having been
printed just before the great fire in London is probably the reason of
its rarely being found perfect and in good condition."

blance between some of the customs and words of our indigenous
races and those of other nations.

" Quentin Durward's Corps. —The history of the long and
faithful service of France by the unfailingly recruited band of Scottish
soldiers, is told by Mr. Forbes-Leith with singular clearness and skill.
We have seldom found conciseness of style so nicely adjusted to
amplitude of material. Extensive and painstaking research is implied
by the subject, and its results are set before the reader with brevity,
indeed, but without abruptness, in a narrative which has a peculiar
charm of romance and chivalry."—London Spectator,

Large Paper. No. 14 of Limited Edition of fifty copies with
the plates in two states on China and Holland Papers, proofs before
letters. Subscription price, £3, i. <?., $15, without duty.
To ensure the most perfect accuracy in these delineations of Spanish
life and scenery, Lalauze visited Spain, and made his drawings on the
spot.
" It will be a long time probably before the History of 'the in
genious gentleman ' whom Cervantes has immortalized will reappear in
more luxurious form than these superb volumes. The paper is heavy,
the margins wide, the type large and attractive, and the full-page etch
ings by M. Lalauze are well suited to the quaint humor and grotesque-
ness of the greatest of satirical romances."—New York Tribune.

Impression limited to 250 copies. Several of the manuscripts, from
which these arms are taken, have hitherto been unknown to heraldic
antiquaries in Scotland. The arms of upwards of six hundred families
are given, all of which are described in upwards of 400 pages of letter
press by Mr. Stodart. The book is uniform with Lyndsay's " Heraldic
Manuscript, " and care was taken not to reproduce any arms which are
in that volume, unless there are variations, or from older manuscripts.

551 and 552 of the same.
The ' ' Tour in France and Germany " is a work of exhaustless
attraction for all lovers of the picturesque, and of bibliographical and
antiquarian lore, and Lowndes remarks of it—"This work contains
much curious information regarding the MSS. and rare works in
public and private libraries abroad. It is printed and embellished in
the same style of excellence as Dibdin's other works."
" For these volumes $25,000 were paid for engraving alone. One
of the most handsome that ever came from the British Press. "—Scott.
