Gaignat_, vol. ii., no. 3467.----RANDON DE BOISSET.
_Catalogue des livres du cabinet de feu M. Randon du
Boisset. Par Guil. de Bure, fils aine_, Paris, 1777, 12mo.
Although the generality of catalogue collectors will be
satisfied with the usual copy of this well-digested volume,
yet I apprehend the curious will not put up with any thing
short of a copy of it upon strong WRITING PAPER. Such a one
was in the Gouttard collection. See _Cat. de Gouttard_,
no. 1546.----_Reimannus._ _J.F. Reimanni Catalogus
Bibliothecae Theologicae Systematico-Criticus._ Hildes. 1731,
8vo., two vols. _Ejusdem accessiones uberiores ad Catalogum
Systematico-Criticum, editae a Jo. W. Reimannus_, Brunsv.,
1747, 8vo. I have before given the character of this work in
the introductory part of my "Knowledge of the Greek and
Latin Classics." Every thing commendatory of it may be here
repeated.----RENATI. _Bibliothecae Josephi Renati Imperialis,
&c., Cardinalis Catalogus, &c._ Romae, 1711, fol. This
excellent catalogue, which cost the compiler of it,
Fontanini, nine years of hard labour, is a most useful and
valuable one; serving as a model for catalogues of large
libraries. See the more minute criticism upon it in _Cat. de
Santander_, no. 6315. My copy, which wants the
title-page, but luckily contains the Latin preface, was
formerly Ruddiman's. The volume has 738 pages: this is
noticed because all the appendixes and addenda are
comprehended in the same.----REVICKZKY. _Bibliotheca Graeca
et Latina, complectens auctores fere omnes Graecia et Latii
veteris, &c., cum delectu editionum tam primariarum, &c.,
quam etiam optimarum, splendidissimarum, &c., quas usui meo
paravi._ PERIERGUS DELTOPHILUS (the feigned name for
REVICKZKY), Berolini, 1784: 1794, 8vo. It was the delight of
Count Revickzky, the original owner of this collection, to
devote his time and attention to the acquisition of scarce,
beautiful, and valuable books; and he obtained such fame in
this department of literature as to cause him to be ranked
with the Vallieres, Pinellis, and Lomenies of the day. He
compiled, and privately disposed of, the catalogue of his
collection, which bears the above title; and to some few of
which are prefixed a letter to M. L' A.D. [enini] (Member of
