"" The only bibliographical work cognizant of this rare book, is the edition of Ware by Harris, II. 262. Ware in his first edition being ignorant of it; and it might almost be a question whether Harris had seen more than the title, as he calls it a Tract, tho' it is a volume of near 700 pages." MS. note.

ably good.

"The Abbé Morelli gave me the second edition in 8vo. Ven. 1528 as a very scarce book; and in his letter he tells me that this first Edition of 1490 is one of the rarest books in the Italian Language. The only other copy in England, is, as I am told, at Mr. Beckford's at Bath." MS. note. There is a copy in the Bodleian Library.

This is the second edition referred to in the preceding note.

It can hardly be called a second edition of the preceding as it does not agree in any way with it. It does not contain a tenth part of the materials of the first.
