There are copies on large paper. "In this short catalogue will be
found about twenty original tracts relating to Newfoundland; above
fifty concerning Virginia; one hundred, or more, of New England:
and so on in proportion to the colonies."--_Preface._ "This, as
far as it goes, is the best Catalogue of Books relating to America
extant, the titles being copied at full length with the greatest
exactness, together with name of the printer, and the number of
pages in each volume. It unfortunately contains only the books
given to the society by White Kennett, Bishop of Peterborough. It
is rich in English tracts relating to New England."--RICH. The
collection to which it refers has disappeared--some scattered and
neglected remains were found a few years since among the archives
of the Society at Lambeth.
