A few copies will be printed on writing paper, on one side of the page only, so as to form a ready-made catalogue of a general library, with room for manuscript additions. J. SABIN & SONS ARE ABOUT TO PUBLISH A REPRODUCTION OF DE BRY'S famous FOLIO New-found-land of Virginia, Of the Commodities, and of the nature and manners of the naturall inhabitants. Discouered by the English Colony there seated by SIR RICHARD GREINUILE, Knight, in the yeere 1585, at the special charge and direction of the HoN. SIR WALTER RALEIGH, Knight, Lord Warden of the Stanneries, who therein hath been fauored and authorized by her Maiestie and her letters patents: This fore booke is made in English by THOMAS HARIOT, seruant to the abouenamed SIR WALTER, a member of the Colony, and there imployed in discouering. Folio. Franckfort: Imprinted by Ibon Wechel, at Theodore De Bry, own coast and chardges, 1590. This edition will be a reproduction, in exact fac-simile, of the rarest and most precious book relating to Virginia, and of which there are not more than half a dozen perfect copies in existence. These are in the British Museum and Bodleian Libraries, and in the Private Collections of Mr. Lennox, Mr. Brown, Mr. Christie-Miller, and Mr. George E. Mann. There is a very imperfect one in the library of Harvard College, and one wanting two leaves, belonging to Sir Thomas Phillipps. No complete copy in England is known to have been sold for less than £100 for the past hundred years, and. we understand, one has recently changed hands at double that sum, and probably will again if the opportunity occurs. The only copy sold in this country brought $975.00. This "reproduction" has been executed by the newly-discovered process of Photo-Lithography. The imitation of the old style type is perfect, and the seventy-six quaint and curious Engravings by John White, the English painter who, at the command of Queen Elizabeth, accompanied Sir Walter Raleigh in his famous expedition, are reproduced with marvellous accuracy. Those interested in early American history, the Bibliomaniac, and Collector of Curious Tomes, may now, for a small cost, become possessed of a work which has hitherto been all but unobtainable, and which should not now be lacking in any library of any pretence. The edition is necessarily a very limited one; intending subscribers should, therefore, send in their names at once. Price: in cloth, uncut, $30.00; half morocco antique, $37.50. J. SABIN & SONS, 84 Nassau Street, New York. IN PREPARATION, UNIFORM WITH THE MONOGRAM ALBUM, A BOOK OF FAMILY CRESTS, DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF Artists, Herald Painters, Engravers, J.
