Door Nicolaes Witsen. (In Dutch.) Amsterdam, 1705. With plates, geographical maps and index. Fol. 2 vol. in 1. R. M. This work is highly extolled by the accurate Meuselius, II. ii. 223. who says of the two editions of 1692, and 1705, I utraque vere editio usque ad dies nostros tantæ erant raritatis ut Codd. MSS. instar æstimarentur et inter hæc operis exempla paucissima vix unum exstitit cui non deessent vel tabulæ geographicæ vel indices.' This fine copy of the best edition corrected by the author, has both the maps and the indexes. Witsen was the Dutch Consul in Russia, and passed the greatest part of his life in Tartary, and died in 1717. Whether the book was suppressed by the author or by the Russian Court seems still a question." MS. note. WITTIE, ROBERT. Survey of the Heavens.

Impressions from five old wood blocks, in the possession of Lady Delamere. Only four impressions have been taken off. Fol. "Mr. Josi, keeper of the Prints at the British Museum, considered the Wooden Blocks from which these impressions are taken as very curious both from their age and from their unusually large size. They are of pear tree wood and much wormeaten. Mr. Josi imagined they were of Flemish work, between the years 1420 and 1460, and said that probably they had been engraved by Monks in honour of the miracles performed by some Saint whose relics they possesed in that Monastery, as it was usual in those days to present such memorials after confession or any particular Benefaction to the Church. Mr. J. thought that the lower part of the block marked No, 5. had originally been left plain (probably for the purpose of adding a subsequent inscription) and that it has afterwards been engraved at a much later period, by some very common artist. This execution, from the modern date of the is evident from the great difference in the dress, and from one of the Figures being without a head in consequence of there being no room for its insertion.
