AMERICANA--continued. 296 MERCURIO PERUANO DE HISTORIA, LITERATURA, y Noticias Publicas que da a luz la Sociedad Academica de Amantes de Lima, y en su nombre D. Jacinto Calero y Moreira (from Jan. 1791 to April, 1793), 7 vol. vellum, very scarce Lima, 1791-93 297 MOLINA (ALONSO DE) VOCABULARIO ENLA LENGUA CASTELLANA Y MEXICANA, wants right title-page (part of one of a later edition being substituted), a leaf with a woodcut on each page (used for making up title-page), pp. 250-252, 257-260, and last leaf (pp. 261-2) containing Colophon; some leaves mended, water-stained and wormed, half calf, sold with all faults * * Mexico, en casa de Juan Pablos, 1555 *EXCESSIVELY RARE: ORIGINAL EDITION. The second and enlarged edition (Mexico, 1571, folio), will be found on another page of this catalogue. Although the present copy unfortunately wants a few leaves at the end, the whole of the "Vocabulario " itself is perfect. The former possessor of a complete copy thus speaks of the work: "Until recently the Vocabulario of 1571 in folio was the only edition known to the generality of bibliographers; and it is only in the last edition of the 'Manuel du Libraire' (1843) that Brunet refers to the existence of this edition which, however, he does not appear to have seen. In the earlier editions of the 'Manuel,' the folio of 1571 is mentioned as the earliest specimen of American printing; this edition is 16 years earlier in date," &c. 298 Montenegro (A. de la Peña, Obispo de S.

Amsterdam, J. F. Stam, 1637 **A most curious book, both for the matter and the style. The author describes himself as of Clifford's Inne, gent. and his work as "written upon tenne yeares' knowledge and experiment of the Country." Interspersed are a number of poetical pieces, one entitled "Of the Baccanall Triumphe of the Nine Worthies of New Canaan," by Ben Jonson, which is not included in any edition of his works. 300 Muñoz (J.
