“Recueil de Diverses Poésies.” 12mo. 1652 “Les Satyres” by Sieur Regnier. 12mo. 1652 A collection of Proverbs from Greek Authors, in Greek. 4to. 1653 The Poems of Nicholas Heinsius (son of Daniel). 12mo. 1653 “The Civil Polity” of Thomas Hobbes, translated by Sorbière. 12mo. 1653 Burlesque versions, in French, of Homer’s “Odyssey,” and of the “Odes” of Horace. 12mo. 1653 These two volumes bear the bogus imprint of “John Sambix,” as if the Elzevirs were somewhat ashamed to be associated with such frivolities. “The Imitation of Christ,” by Thomas à Kempis, in Latin. 12mo. 1653 The most beautiful edition that had yet been printed of the famous Catholic Classic. The imprint is “Lugduni,” instead of “Lugduni Batavorum,” because the publishers expected to secure for it a sale in Catholic countries. The “Institutes” of Calvin, in Latin. Folio. 1654 “Polyeucte martyr,” tragédie de Corneille. Chez “Jean Sambix.” 12mo. 1655 “Le Romant comique,” par Scarron. Chez “Jean Sambix.” 12mo. 1655 John Elzevir carried on the business for six years, from 1655 to 1661, during which time he printed one hundred and twelve works. Among these were the following: The works of Huygens, in Latin, reissue. 1655 These had been originally printed in 1644 by Bonaventure, and it is noted that the expense was borne by the author. We may, therefore, conclude that the reissue was a venture of the publishers. Huygens, who was famous as a physicist and a mathematician, lived till 1695. “Lettres de Monsieur de Marigny.” 12mo. 1655 “A defence of the Doctrines of the Socinians,” by an unknown writer who uses the name of Slichtingius, in Latin. 4to. 1656 A Refutation of the same, by Cocceius, in Latin. 8vo. 1656 The fact that an Elzevir was willing to issue with his own imprint a Socinian volume, is evidence of an increasing liberality of view either of the University or of the publishers. “Les Comédies de Scarron.” 12mo. 1659 (The author died the year following.) “Medical Treatises of Celsius.” 12mo. 1657 “Les Lettres de Monsieur Descartes.” Further Treatises of Salmasius, in Latin. 8vo. 1659 The Treatises of Hippocrates, in Greek and Latin. 8vo. 1659 “Les Oeuvres du Sieur de Balzac,” reissue, after the death of the author. 3 vols. 12mo. 1659 “Des Lettres Provinciales,” and “La Théologie Morale des Jésuites,” etc., of Pascal. 8vo. 1659
