"_Bibliotheca Moguntina libris saeculo primo Tpyographico
[Transcriber's Note: Typographico] Moguntiae impressis
instructa_;" 1787, 4to., of WURDTWEIN. It has some curious
plates of fac-similes, and is rarely seen in the Strand or
King-street book-markets.----C.T. DE MURR published a work
of some interest, entitled, "_Memorabilia Bibliothecarum
Publicarum Norimbergensium_," Norimb., 1786-91, three parts
or vols. 8vo.; which is also rare.----ROSSI'S valuable work
concerning the annals of Hebrew typography: _Annales
Hebraeo-Typographici, a 1475, ad 1540_, Parmae, 1795, 1799,
4to., two separate publications, is prettily printed by
Bodoni, and is an indispensable article in the collection of
the typographical antiquary. See the _Dict. de Bibliologie_,
vol. iii., p. 286.----PANZER'S _Annales Typographici_, in
eleven quarto volumes (1793-1803) is a work of the very
first importance to bibliographers. Its arrangement, after
the manner of Orlandi's, is clear and most convenient; and
the references to authorities, which are innumerable, are,
upon the whole, very faithful. The indexes are copious and
satisfactory. This work (of which I hear there are only
three copies upon LARGE PAPER) contains an account of books
which were printed in all parts of Europe from the year
1457, to 1536, inclusive; but it should be remembered that
the author published a distinct work in the year 1788, 4to.,
relating to books which were printed, within the same
period, in the _German Language_; and this should always
accompany the eleven Latin volumes. I will just add from it,
as a curiosity, the title and colophon (translated into
English) of the first printed book in the German
language:--"THE PUBLICATION OF DIETHERS, ELECTOR OF MAYENCE,
AGAINST COUNT ADOLPHUS OF NASSAU; _given out under our
impressed seal on Tuesday, after the fourth Sunday in
Advent, anno Domini 1462_." Consult also Wurdtwein's _Bibl.
Mogunt._, p. 80; and the authorities there referred to. It
seems doubtful whether this curious little brochure, of
which scarcely any thing more than a fragment now remains,
was printed by Fust and Schoeffer, or by Gutenberg.]

What countenances are those which beam with so much quiet, but
interesting, expression? They are the resemblances of DENIS and
