Basle, 1536. Folio, calf, gilt [by Berthelet], rebacked, enclosed in buckram box, with leather label. £100- Formerly owned by the great Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey [1517-47], poet, with his name "Henn Comitis de Surrey", and also his interlaced initials, written on the fly-leaf. Surrey's arms are also on the binding, clearly decipherable, though somewhat worn. In view of the particular nature of the book catalogued it is interesting to remember that Surrey was the earliest Englishman successfully to imitate Italian poetry in English verse. The volume bears the book-plate of Lord Howard of Effingham. It is hardly necessary to stress the importance of this volume. Rarely do opportunities occur for collectors to acquire volumes so directly associated with any outstanding literary personage of the time of Henry VIII. 499 SURTEES. SPORTING NOVELS.

The quaint wording of the numerous sub-titles and dedications give the work an added interest. SYMONDS. See 93. IN THE SHADOW OF THE A PLAY IN ONE ACT By J. M.
