2 p. 11. Pp. 1-165. 8°. The following remarks are from the "Introduction": "The extraordinary collection of books here offered to public competition well merits a passing notice. The catalogue of it made by Messrs. Puttick and Simpson, it will readily be perceived, is not a mere auction catalogue, but as far as the collection goes, a bibliography of this important department of literature-a book for future reference.

Ramirez (Don José Fernando)-continued.

"The library was formed by the late Don José Fernando Ramirez, of the city of Durango, in Mexico, where he was born towards the end of the last century.

"From his early youth Señor Ramirez showed a decided predilection for the history and archæology of his native country, united to a strong love of books. When transferred from the supreme court of Durango to that of the National Government in 1850, he sold the greater portion of the library which he had formed there, which became the foundation of the present State library in that city. He reserved, however, from this sale the rarest works relating to the archæology, history, and philology of Mexico, which he brought with him to the Capital, where he commenced the formation of this his second library. The suppression of the monastic orders gave him extraordinary facilities for acquiring rare books and manuscripts, which he seized upon with avidity, and gained from many of the converts the most precious of their literary treasures. The high posts which Sr. Ramirez occupied during his long public life, and his eminent reputation as a collector, bibliographer, and scholar, enabled him to procure copies of unpublished documents inaccessible to others. After the death of Sr. Ramirez his heir allowed Don A. Chavero to select from his library all the works relating to Mexico. From that gentleman this collection passed into the hands of its present owner [Fernandez del Castillo J."

New York: Joseph Sabin, 84 Nassau Street. | 1868 [-1881]. | 13 vols. 8°. Four parts of vol. 14 also have been published, bringing the work down to "Pennsylvania." The work was published first in parts, of which No. 1 appeared in January, 1867. The following extracts are from the preliminary

remarks:

"After nearly four years' labor in arranging and classifying the material which had accumulated on my hands in the course of some fifteen years of research, I am at last able to publish the following specimen of my projected 'Dictionary of Books relating to America.'

"Had the magnitude and extreme difficulty of the undertaking been presented to my mind in full proportions at the outset, I should never have attempted it; and, indeed, I may remark, that I have more than once almost determined upon its abandonment; but a deep sense of its importance, however imperfectly it may be executed, and a strong partiality for bibliographical pursuits, have stimulated me to continue my labor.

"I conclude this preliminary notice with the remark, that, whenever possible, I have examined the books for myself, and have described them with all necessary minuteness."

Mr. Sabin died June 5, 1881, when the work had entered its fourteenth volume. This has caused a delay in the issue of the later parts, the preparation of which has been begun, and the editorial management of which has been placed in the hands of Mr. Wilberforce Eames.
