Surgeon, Madras Army. * * * There is no question but that his long residence in India, his scientific researches and his very variety of duties eminently fit him for a work of this character, which, however imperfect and incomplete as a whole, will be of great utility and prove a valuable aid to others."-Madras Journal, New Series, Vol. II.

Lisboa, Pedro Crasbeeck, 1602-16-together 8 vols. sm. folio, in the original calf binding, fine copies, VERY RARE, £25. 1602-28

One of the rarest parts of the present copy is the 4th Decade of Barros; its title and last couple of leaves are mended, but it is of the original edition, which was never reprinted except in 8vo. form in modern times. The cause of its rarity is that it was left unfinished, and only appeared posthumously, thirteen years after Couto had endeavoured to supply the want of it with his own fourth Decade. The eighth Decade of Couto was not printed till 1673; and the fragments of IX-XII only in 1736, and later.

This edition of Couto is also very rare. It contains in addition to the above copy the whole Eighth Decade, and fragments of the Ninth, which were never printed till 1736.
