be
procured, if possible. The Latin titles of these two latter
works, both by SCHOLTZIUS, will be found in the _Bibl.
Crevenn._ vol. v. 281. Renouard mentions the last in his
"_Annales de l'Imprimerie des Alde_," vol. ii. p. 63.
Meanwhile the _Monumenta Typographica_ of WOLFIUS, Hamb.,
1740, 2 vols., 8vo., embraces a number of curious and
scattered dissertations upon this interesting and valuable
art. It may be obtained for 8_s._ or 10_s._ at present! The
_Amoenitatus [Transcriber's Note: Amoenitates]
Literariae, &c._, of SCHELHORN had like to have been passed
over. It was published in 14 small octavo volumes, at
Frankfort and Leipsic, from the year 1725 to 1731 inclusive.
The _Amoenitates Historiae Ecclesiasticae et Literariae_, of
the same person, and published at the same place in two
octavo volumes, 1738, should accompany the foregoing work.
Both are scarce and sought after in this country. In the
former there are some curious dissertations, with cuts, upon
early printed books. Concerning the most ancient edition of
the Latin Bibles, Schelhorn put forth an express treatise,
which was published at Ulm in 1760, 4to. This latter work is
very desirable to the curious in biblical researches, as one
meets with constant mention of Schelhorn's bible. Let me not
omit ZAPF'S _Annales Typographiae Augustanae_, Aug. Vindel.,
1778; which was republished, with copious additions, at
Augsbourg, in two parts, 1786, 4to.--but unluckily, this
latter is printed in the German language. Upon Spanish
Typography (a very interesting subject), there is a
dissertation by Raymond Diosdado Caballero, entitled "_De
Prima Typographiae Hispanicae Aetate Specimen_," Rome, 1793,
4to.]

[Footnote 132: From the Latin life of LE LONG, prefixed to
his _Bibliotheca Sacra_, we learn that he was an adept in
most languages, ancient and modern; and that "in that part
of literature connected with BIBLIOGRAPHY (Typographorum et
Librorum Historia), he retained every thing so correctly in
his memory that he yielded to few literary men, certainly to
no bookseller." Of the early years of such a man it is a
pity that we have not a better account. His _Bibliotheca
Sacra_, Paris, 1725, folio, has been republished by MASCH
and BOERNER, in four volumes, 4to., 1778, and
