Parisiis, apud S. Colinoum 1539

A beautiful book, bound in the Boyer style, but, judging from the admixture of pointillé work, by the hand of Du Seuil about 1710. The full lining or doublure is a feature of great rarity in books bound at that time, being only found on volumes which were esteemed to be of the highest value and worthy of the decorator's best effort.

A very choice copy in a beautiful old French morocco binding, signed
on the back of Vol. 1, 'Rel. p. Bozerian Jeune,' in remarkably fine and
fresh s ate. Bozerian has the credit of having struck out into a new
decorative field, instead of repeating ad infinitum the old Boyer, Padeloup

yellow calf by Bedford (front cover loose at joint).

London: Printed for M. Cooper, 1743
THE VERY RARE FIRST EDITION. In an old MS. inserted, it is declared
that both Pinkerton and Anderson knew of no edition earlier than that
printed at Edinburgh in 1747;-nor do the relatives of the poet pos-
sess any earlier." Also Lord Buchan perfectly agrees that it would
be imprudent to trust Mr. Park's edition (of Blair's Grave, 1743) to
the tender mercy of a Mail Coach. Lord Buchan will do himself the
pleasure of waiting on Mr. Park" (for the purpose of examining so great
a rarity!).
