We have also received:—
"A Catalogue of English and Foreign Theology, including some of the rarest works of our early English Divines; nearly a complete series of the Fathers of the Church; the various Councils and most important Ecclesiastical Historians, Liturgical writers, &c." issued by Leslie, of 58. Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn, which is one which will greatly interest all readers of the peculiar class to whom it is more particularly addressed.
The same may be said of the excellent
"Catalogue of Old and New Books (Part CIV.)," just delivered by Petheram of 94. High Holborn: which, in addition to theological works, exhibits many valuable productions in historical and general literature.
Bernard Quarritch's "Catalogue of Foreign Books and Classics, selling at 16. Castle Street, Leicester Square," well deserves the attention of philologists. It is rich, not only in works illustrative of the Oriental languages and literature, but also in those of Germany and Scandinavia. Indeed, it is one which should be looked into by all students of foreign literature.
Some curious articles, more especially in early Italian and French literature, and on the subject of Alchymy, Astrology, Magic, &c., will be found in a "Catalogue of Interesting and Rare Books on sale, by George Bumstead, No. 205. High Holborn."
William Nield, 46. Burlington Arcade, is, we believe, a new candidate for the favours of the purchasers of old books. His first Catalogue contains some curious Articles in the departments of Demonology and Witchcraft; a few varieties belonging to the "Marprelate" class, such as "Penri's Exhortation;" and a fine collection of Classical Music.
Lastly, let us mention what cannot but interest many readers of "Notes and Queries," that Mr. Lumley, of 56. Chancery Lane, having purchased the stock of the Society of Antiquaries' publications, has divided the volumes of the Archæologia, and has just put forth a Catalogue of the separate papers, which are for sale, and of which he says very truly, "their value cannot be disputed," and they are "now for the first time offered thus to the Public."
