SALE AT MESSRS. PUTTICK AND SIMPSON'S, The catalogue stated "from various sources," an expression which should be noted by those looking into the prices of this sale.

It would be only misleading to give the others. The books on the whole were of a poor character. 880. Earwaker (J. D.). EAST CHESHIRE, PAST AND PRESENT. Plates and photographs. 2 vols. 4to.

Folio. 1796-1815. £I IS. In the "Waterton" Sale, which took place at Messrs. Sotheby's, on Friday, February 18th, 1895, was sold a very remarkable collection of manuscripts and books of various editions, ancient and modern, of A Kempis's "De Imitatione Christi." The editions were not confined to the original Latin, but included specimens of the best issues in Latin-Italian, Latin-Greek, Latin-French, Latin-German, Italian, French, German, Dutch and Flemish, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Provençal, Hungarian, Swedish, Danish, Greenland, Slavonic, Finnish, Rhetian, Sardínian, Maltese, Lusatian, Catalan, Breton, Basque, Lettow, Albanian, Welsh, Irish, Gallic, Modern Greek, Greek, Romaic (in Roman and in Greek characters), Malay, Chaldaic, Armenian, Arabic, English. There were two lots sold. The first consisted of six Manuscripts and 762 Printed Editions, ranging from a facsimile of the original Manuscripts, of A.D. 1441, by Charles Rueleus, printed on vellum, and the first edition, with date (1483), down to Suttaby's English Reprint, of 1883. The second lot contained 437 Printed Editions, from the editio princeps, per Gunther Zainer (circa 1471), to the English reprint by Rivington, in 1877. Two such collections have never before occurred for sale, and we doubt whether there be in any single library, public or private, a collection in any way rivalling in completeness this of the Waterton collection. The prices which they realized should be a warning to the collector, who collects either for profit or with the hope that his hobby may prove of value. THE FOOTE COLLECTION. (THIRD PART.)
