replies that the King held his papers, but he gives here a summary of
the circumstances, mingled with references to his two voyages made
in the Spanish service which preceded the one in question. There
can hardly therefore be any doubt that he had gone twice to the New
World, and returned, before he started on his third expedition in May
1501.

This excessively rare and important Epistle is bound up with
several contemporary tracts.

An interesting little treatise which is perhaps the earliest news from the English
colony in Guiana. It had been preceded only by the accounts of navigators: Raleigh,
Keymis, Harcourt. Warren was a shrewd observer of nature, and possessed two fine
English qualities: a dislike of negro-slavery, and a fondness for young Indian women,

MILIS, REPERTORIUM JURIS, continued::and foliation; a fine large copy in an old half binding (broken) [Cologne] Nicolaus Gotz of Sletztat, 1475 36 00 A volume of the highest interest, both as a typographical production and as a contribution to the history of engraving. All the books from the press of Nicolaus Gotz are extremely rare and very seldom turn up for sale; but the especial feature of this volume, only to be found in some three or four works brought out by Gotz, is the printer's device. This device is extremely interesting from the fact that it is an engraving from a metal block en manière criblée; and is the first example of a printer's device of this kind.

Gotz, because of the connexion of his press with that of Caxton, as well as with certain Belgian presses connected with both, was a favourite printer of the late Henry Bradshaw, and his device forms the subject of an interesting monograph read before the Cambridge Antiquarian Society (sec "Collected Papers," pp. 237-246). Bradshaw mentions that he was fortunate enough to purchase a copy of the Repertorium Juris " (now in the Cambridge University Library), and then discovered, to his surprise and pleasure, that the device, which he had never seen, was not a woodcut, as he had hitherto assumed, but an engraving, en manière criblée.

66

Hain had never seen the book, and there is no copy in the British Museum or in the Bodleian Library. Mr. Copinger's collation (of the Cambridge copy?) is incorrect. He specifies eight leaves as being comprised in the first quire there are ten, of which the first is blank. Nicolaus Gotz used only one type for all his books; facsimiles of it and of the device accompany Bradshaw's essay. A noticeable point is the occurrence of both Gothic and Roman capitals.
