Nearly all the copies of the 6th Decade were destroyed by fire, and
the few that are to be met with are generally, if not always,
deficient in some leaves. The title-page to this copy (as in Mr.
Grenville's) is supplied by the title to the 4th Decade, and a few
leaves are wanting. For the rarity of this work, see _Bibliotheca
Grenvilliana_, vol. i. p. 60.

And, lastly, Lot 1701; which contains a matchless series, in 154 vols.,
of the Works of Daniel De Foe, whom Coleridge was inclined to rank
higher than Addison for his humour and as a writer of racy vigorous
English.

The Lot is thus described:--

"THIS MATCHLESS SERIES of the Works of this distinguished Author was
formed with unwearied diligence by his Biographer, the late Mr.
Walter Wilson, during the greater portion of his life.

"The numbers to 208 refer to the Catalogue of the Works as published
in his _Life of Defoe_, 3 vols. 1830; those following have been
discovered by Mr. Wilson since the period of the publication. This
Collection is rendered still further to complete by the addition of
upwards of forty pieces by a recent possessor. The extreme
difficulty of forming such a collection as the present is very
apparent when we compare its voluminous contents with those very few
collections which, during the last fifty years, have on the
dispersion of celebrated libraries occurred for sale."

We have this week received a most important and valuable

"Catalogue of Bibles and Biblical Literature, containing the best
works, ancient and modern, on the Criticism, Interpretation, and
Illustration of Holy Scripture, and including such of the Fathers
and Ecclesiastical Writers as have treated on these subjects,
_classified_ with Analytical Table of Contents and Alphabetical
Indexes of Subjects and Authors, &c. on Sale, by C.J. Stewart, 11.
King William St., West Strand."

Mr. Stewart explains that in addition to what are "strictly regarded as
Biblical, there will be found in it the works of those Fathers, Mediaeval
and more recent Writers, who treat upon subjects connected with
Scripture, each accompanied with an enumeration of such portions of his
works; and under heads (more especially extensive under commentators)
references are given t
