is exceedingly well "digested by Martin,"
is a great favourite with collectors. A copy out of Count
Hoym's collection tells well--whether at a book-sale, or in
a bookseller's catalogue. There are copies upon LARGE PAPER,
which, when priced, sell high.----HULSIUS. _Bibliotheca
Hulsiana, sive Catalogus Librorum quos magno labore, summa
cura et maximis sumptibus collegit Vir Consularis Samuel
Hulsius._ Hag. Com. 1730, four vols. 8vo. (the second and
third being in two parts, and the fourth in three). This is,
in sober truth, a wonderful collection of books; containing
nearly 34,000 articles--which, allowing three volumes to an
article, would make the owner to have been in possession of
100,000 volumes of printed books and MSS. The English
library, (vol. iv., pt. ii.) of nearly 3300 articles,
comprehended nearly all the best books of the day. There
were about 1200 articles of Spanish Literature. Nor was the
worthy Consul deficient in the love of the fine arts ("haec
est, sitque diu, Senis optimi voluptas et oblectatio," says
the compiler of the catalogue); having 11,000 most beautiful
prints of subjects relating to the Bible, bound up in 92
atlas folio volumes. Long live the memory of Hulsius; a
consular hero of no ordinary renown!----JENA. _Memorabilia
Bibliothecae Academicae Jenensis: sive designatio Codicum
manuscriptorum illa Bibliotheca et Librorum impressorum
plerumque rariorum. Joh. Christophoro Mylio._ Jenae, 1746,
8vo. A work of some little importance; and frequently
referred to by Vogt and Panzer. It is uncommon.----JESU SOC.
_Bibliotheca Scriptorum Societatis Jesu._ Antv., 1643. Romae,
1676, fol. Although this work is not a professed catalogue
of books, yet, as it contains an account of the writings of
those learned men who were in the society of the
Jesuits--and as Baillet, Antonio, and Morhof, have said
every thing in commendation of it--I strongly recommend one
or the other of these editions to the bibliographer's
attention. I possess the edition of 1643; and have
frequently found the most satisfactory intelligence on
referring to it. How clever some of the Jesuits were in
their ideas of the arrangement of a library may be seen from
their "_Systema Bibliothecae Jesuitarum Collegii
Ludoviciani_"--which was written by
