This edition of 1637 omits nothing contained in the edition of 1607. The reproduction of this work was made an article against Laud at his trial, as it was considered to have been brought out with his connivance to countenance the king's arbitrary measures. 211 CRUIKSHANK (George) The House that Jack Built, with twelve cuts; 4to. very scarce (1852)-Five Sketches of the Rev.

The copy in the British Museum is described as wanting the —a defect which it shares with most of the extant copies. This is one of the most curious and valuable of the poetical volumes published in the early part of the reign of James I, and making allusions to Shakespeare and a great number of his distinguished contemporaries. The piece directly addressed to Shakespeare runs as follows: To our English Terence Mr. Will: Shake-speare. Epig. 159. Some say (good Will) which I, in sport, do sing Had'st thou not plaid some Kingly parts in sport, Thou hadst bin a companion for a King And, beene a King among the meaner sort Some others raile; but raile as they thinke fit, Thou hast no rayling, but a raigning Wit; And honesty thou sow'st which they do reape So, to increase their Stocke which they do keepe. In the piece called Paper's Complaint, he alludes again to Shakespeare on p. 231, thus Another (ah Lord helpe) mee vilifies The me is said in the person of Paper complaining. This piece is one of the highest interest for the literary history of the time. 224 Deguignes, Histoire générale des Huns, des Turcs, des Mogols et des autres Tartares occidentaux avant et depuis Jesus-Christ jusqu'a Paris, 1756-8 This work contains Chronological and Historical tables of all the princes who have reigned in Asia, and is absolutely necessary to any one who would master the intricacies of Asian politics.

VOYAGE DANS LA HAUTE EGYPTE, second edition, with 83 beautiful photographic views of the ancient monuments found between Cairo and the First Cataract, 2 vols. roy. folio Paris, 1893 This work gives a splendid general view of the Scenery and Antiquities of Upper Egypt, and will be most interesting to those who, having visited Egypt, wish for a scientific descriptive account of its chief attractions. It combines on a reduced scale the full Views of David Roberts's Egypt with the scholarship of Champollion's and Rosellini's works. Le Voyage dans la Haute-Egypte parut pour la première fois en 1881. Il fut tiré alors à 73 exemplaires, d'ordre d'un éditeur du Caire. Ces exemplaires furent fabriqués pour S. A.le Khédive. L'édition que M. Mourès se proposait d'offrir au Commerce, et qu'il mit en souscription au prix de 500 fr., n'était pas achevée lorsque survint la mort de l'éditeur. Le texte seul était imprimé alors. Depuis, cet ouvrage, certainement une des plus belles productions de notre temps, se payaît jusqu'à 1000 fr. dans les ventes publiques, si une fois par hasard il en passait un en vente. Je viens d'acquérir le droit de publier une édition limitée à 150 exemplaires. 8 0 0 800 2 |
