"There is a great mass of erudition in this work, which is designed to give an idea of Roman literature from the foundation of the city to the death of the Emperor Honorius.

A portion only of the first volume of this Collection has been used by Dr. Dibdin in his new edition. The remainder has not been used by any Bibliographer. As Dr. Dibdin's work is now not likely to be completed, this collection of materials becomes the more important, and should be secured for some public library.

"A very valuable and accurate work, and as honourable to the British nation as to the deep critical researches of the original compiler, Mr. Ames, and his continuator, Mr. Herbert."-Dr. Clarke.

"A classical work upon universal literature, the completion of which has fully answered the high expectations formed at the publication of the first volume." Horne.

"The honour of first accomplishing a comprehensive synopsis of literary history in a more regular form, was the reward of Andres, a Spanish Jesuit, who, after the dissolution of his order, passed the remainder of his life in Italy. This work is an extraordinary performance, embracing both ancient and modern literature in its full extent, and, in many parts, with little assist ance from any former publication of the kind. It is far better known on the Continent than in England, where I have not frequently seen it quoted; nor do I believe it is common in our private libraries."-Hallam. Origen, Progressos, y estado actual de toda la literatura, 8 vols. royal 8vo. hf. bd. calf, £1. 8s Madrid, 1784

Cornucopia of flowers-bright, blooming, and capti-

to consult, who love the bibliographical part of literature,

The Biographie Universelle, which has an equal claim to be called Bibliographie Universelle, is the best and most extensive work of the kind ever produced, and is absolutely necessary in every good library. Dibdin says of it: "I WILL LET NO WELL-EDUCATED YOUNG MAN REST TILL HE SECURE A COPY."

"Coincident nearly in order of time, but more distinguished in merit, is the Biographie Universelle. The eminent names appended to a large proportion of the names contained in its fifty-two volumes, are vouchers for the ability and erudition it displays.

"There is good reason to suppose that Milton threw many additions and corrections in the Theatrum Poetarum, a book published by his nephew, Edward Phillips, in 1673. It contains criticisms far above the taste of that period. Among these is the judgment on Shakspeare, which was not then, I believe, the general opinion; and which perfectly coincides both with the sentiments and words of Milton in L'Allegro; 'Or sweetest Shakspeare, Fancy's child,

Warble his native wood notes wild.""-Warton.
