the sale of which it produced 8£. 12s. 6d._

We have also received:--
"A Catalogue of English and Foreign Theology, including some of
the rarest works of our early English Divines; nearly a complete
series of the Fathers of the Church; the various Councils and
most important Ecclesiastical Historians, Liturgical writers,
&c." issued by Leslie, of 58. Great Queen Street, Lincoln's Inn,
which is one which will greatly interest all readers of the
peculiar class to whom it is more particularly addressed.
The same may be said of the excellent "Catalogue of Old and New Books
(Part CIV)," just delivered by Petheramm of 94. High Holborn: which, in
addition to theological works, exhibits many valuable productions in
historical and general literature.
Bernard Quarritch's "Catalogue of Foreign Books and Classics, selling at
16. Castle Street, Leicester Square," well deserves the attention of
philologists. It is rich, not only in works illustrative of the Oriental
languages and literature, but also in those of Germany and Scandinavia.
Indeed, it is one which should be looked into by all students of foreign
literature.
Some curious articles, more especially in early Italian and French
literature, and on the subject of Alchymy, Astrology, Magic, &c., will
be found in a "Catalogue of Interesting and Rare Books on sale, by
George Bumstead, No. 205. High Holborn."
William Nield, 46. Burlington Arcade is, we believe a new candidate for
the favours of the purchasers of old books. His first Catalogue contains
some curious Articles in the departments of Demonology and Witchcraft; a
few varieties belonging to the "Marprelate" class such as "Penri's
Exhortation;" and a fine collection of Classical Music.
