alogue
des Livres de Monsieur Le President Crozat de Tugny_, Paris,
1751, 8vo. This collection was particularly rich in the
belles-lettres--and especially in Italian and French
Romance-Literature.----VAN DAMME. _Catalogue d'une
Bibliotheque, vendue publiquement a la Haye, le 8 Octobre,
par Varon et Gaillard_, 1764, three vols. 8vo. "This
precious and rare collection belonged to M. Pierre Van
Damme, book-merchant at Amsterdam, equally well known for
his knowledge of bibliography and of medals; of which latter
he had a beautiful and uncommon collection." _Bibl.
Crevenn._, vol. v., p. 306.----DUBOIS. _Bibliotheca
Duboisiana, ou Catalogue de la Bibliotheque du Cardinal
Dubois. A la Haye_, 1725, 8vo., four vols. A collection
which evinces the fine taste and sound judgment of the
Cardinal Du Bois. It is not rare abroad.----ELZEVIR.
_Catalogus librorum qui in Bibliopolio Officinae Danielis
Elzevirii venales extant_, Ams. 1674, 12mo.: 1681,
12mo.--_qui in Bibliopoli Elzeviriano venales extant_, Lug.
Bat., 1634, 1684, 4to. These, and other catalogues of the
books printed by the distinguished family of the Elzevirs,
should find a place within the cabinet of bibliographers.
The first book ever published by the Elzevirs was of the
date of 1595; the last, of 1680 or 1681, by Daniel Elzevir,
who was the only surviving branch. His widow carried on the
business after his decease in 1680. In the _Dictionnaire de
Bibliologie_ of Peignot, vol. i., p. 216, vol. iii., p. 116,
will be found a pleasing account of this family of (almost)
unrivalled printers.----DU FAY. _Bibliotheca Fayana seu
Catalogus librorum Bibl. Cor. Hier. de Cisternay du Fay,
digestus a Gabriel Martin_, Paris, 1725, 8vo. The catalogue
of this collection, which is a judicious one, and frequently
referred to, is very carefully put forth by Martin. I think
that I have seen a copy of it upon LARGE PAPER.----FAGEL.
_Bibliotheca Fageliana. A catalogue of the valuable and
extensive Library of the Greffier Fagal, of the Hague: in
two parts._ London, 1802, 8vo. It is highly creditable to
that most respectable establishment, Trinity College,
Dublin, that the present grand collection of books was
purchased "en masse" (for 7000_l._) to be deposited within
its library; thus rendering
