156 CULPEPER (N.) Pharmacopoeia Londinensis: or the London Dispen-
satory. £5 10s. 1653
Sm. fol., orig. sheep, fine copy with the scarce portr. by Cross (as in No. 155, but now re-
worked). This unauthorised translation of the College of Physicians’ “ Pharmacopoeia ”
which so excited the wrath of that body was orig. issued under the title of “ A Physical Direc-
tory,” &c. The fine condition of this vol. may be due to having been kept in careful hands ;
it has, for instance, the bold signature and notes of Jo. Edwardes, 2|May, 1653, who no doubt
was the M.D. of whom the D.N.B. says there is no trace after 1649.
157 CUNDALL (Jos.) On Bookbindings, Ancient and Modem. £2 2s. 1881
4to, orig. half morocco, t.e.g., uncut, thick paper. Many plates and other illustrs. Scarce.

PRINCE CHARLES’S COPY.
160 DANIEL (Samuel) The Collection of the History of England, revised,
and by his last corrected Coppy Printed [continued by John Trussel]. £48 1634-6
Fol., contempy. olive morocco gilt, with panels formed of cat’s-tooth roll, corners occupied
by small tools of fleur-de-lis and ostrich feathers, the centres occupied by the large feather
crest of the Prince of Wales (afterwards Charles II.) : compare a similar example in the Royal
Library, see Holmes, Windsor Bindings, plate 32, apparently the only specimen at all
resembling the above : back slightly repaired. (1) Sayle 4629. B.M. 447. (2) Sayle 3894.
B.M. 1513. Reproduction of Binding, see plate 2.
161 DANTI (Egnatio) Dell Vso et Fabbrica Dell’ Astrolabio, et del Planisferio.
£3 10s. Florence, Giunti, 1578
Sm. 4to, old vellum, gilt lines, top blank margin of title restored, leaves slightly spotted, large
copy. 2 devices and many interesting woodcuts of the Astrolabe and other instruments,
including the “ Anemoscopio,” etc. At p. 279, names of all the Winds in Greek, Latin (incl.
Girol. Cardano), Italian, Dutch (Tedeschi), French and Spanish. Best ed., with the 6th part.
Riccardi 589. The device at end was closely copied by J. Wolfe at London 1593 (McK. 298).
This work “ renferme une remarque capitale, dont les meilleurs auteurs ont a tort fait honneur
a Tycho-Brahe, savoir la diminution de l’obliquite de l’ecliptique, deduite de la comparaison
des anciennes observations avec les modernes. Son livre ' Sur TAnemoscope, ’ Bologne, 1578,
contient des faits curieux sur l’histoire de la division des vents.”
162 DAVIES (Sir John) Nosce teipsum, this Oracle expounded in two Elegies...
£55 London, Printed by Richard Field, for Iohn Standish, 1599
Sm. 4to, half moro., title and a few corners soiled, slight tear mended in one leaf affecting
page number : very large copy, in most exceptional state, edges being almost entirely uncut.
First ed., 1st issue : very rare. Grolier Club 65. Not in Sayle (no example of publisher in
U.L.C.). Collier, E.E.Lit. I., 193. A copy recently priced £90. For remarks on the impor-
tance of this “ terse and subtle” jjoem on the soul’s immortality see Corser and Hallam.
The printer’s device is the same as on the 1st and 2nd Venus and Adonis, 1593 and 4. The
above is the first book published by Standish.
