MISCELLANEOUS. sNuremberg; 14!)8.

The signatures extend from A to H in eights; but H h has 10 leaves.
Thus have we given a particular, and it is hoped satisfactory, descrip-
tion of this curious, interesting, and uncommon volume. The manner
in which it is executed by the printer, is equal to the singularity of its
contents ; and it is rarely that we see a more elegant specimen of the
roman type of Ratdolt. Indeed no type of any printer, whether gothic
or roman, can exceed, in neatness of form, or skilfulness of execution,
that wliich the printer of this volume may fairly boast to have pro-
duced. My friend, Mr. Heber, possesses a large and beautiful copy of
this curious book, The present, although cropt and slightly wormed,
is elean, sound, and in desirable condition. It was purchased at the
sale os the Merly Library for 81. 18s. 6d.; and is now bound in red-
morocco.

This is a very curious, and not uninteresting, performance; and
contains xxvii chapters, exclusively of the epistle of Pontius Pilate
—which will be found in the subjoined note. * I have perused the
