The first volume of a history of the book-trade in Germany, containing
notices of some booksellers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries,
has just been published at Leipsic, under the title of _Beitrage zur
Geschichte des Deutschen Buchhandels_. The author is Albrecht Kirchhoff,
and the work, short as it is, will be found very useful to parties
engaged in bibliographical investigations.
Our valued correspondent, the Rev. Dr. Todd of Dublin, has just
published _Three Treatises by John Wycklyffe, D.D._ I. _Of the Church
and her Members._ II. _Of the Apostacy of the Church._ III. _Of
Antichrist and his Meynee. Now first printed from a Manuscript in the
Library of Trinity College, Dublin._ The Treatises, which, in Dr. Todd's
opinion, contain internal evidence of having been written within the
last year of the Reformer's life, are accompanied by Notes and a copious
Glossary; and the work has been undertaken not without a hope that the
publication of these Treatises may direct the attention of influential
scholars to the importance of collecting and printing all the existing
writings which remain in our libraries under the name of Wycklyffe and
his followers. We sincerely trust that this hope will soon be realised.
Messrs. Puttick and Simpson announce for approaching sale the highly
important collection of Autograph Letters and Historical MSS. of Mons.
A. Donnadieu. The series of English Royal Autographs alone extends to
nearly three hundred articles; nearly all the letters after Henry VII.
being entirely autograph. This fact alone will give some idea of the
extent and value of this extraordinary collection.
