It has been generally supposed that there was only one edition, and that it did not come out till 1620. It is true that the second part only came out in that year, and that a first part was issued with it, but the first part had already appeared in 1612 in an edition quite distinct from that of 1620. In order to distinguish easily between the two editions of Vol. I, it may be sufficient to say that the heading of each page is printed between two parallel lines, and that these two parallel lines are the only such embellishments, in the edition of 1620. In the 1612 edition, the whole of each page is enclosed by them: a single line in the inner, and a single in the bottom margin, two parallel lines above, and two parallel lines in the outer margin. Furthermore, the words Lib. 1, Lib. 2, Lib. 3, Lib. 4, form part of the page headings in the 1620 edition of Vol. I, while in the 1612 edition we find Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

The last numbered page of Vol. I is 594 in the edition of 1612; it is 572 in that of 1620.

The seventh paragraph of the address to the reader ends with these words "four or five sheets of advantage at the end of the booke." "Of advantage" is plainly a mistranslation of davantage, and proves that Shelton had a French original before him, although no French translation is supposed to have existed in 1612. A second argument may be derived from the spelling Quichote on both the engraved titles of 1620.

Edward Blount, 1620 30 0

Vol. I: engraved title (I cannot trace the certain existence of a letterpress title to the 1620 issue of part I), eleven preliminary leaves; pp. 1-572; and two leaves unnumbered. Vol. II: engraved title, letterpress title and seven preliminary leaves, including the Table; pp. 1-504.

This is the second issue of part I, which was, until I pointed out the difference, always looked upon as identical with that of 1612. Shelton's name as translator appears only at the end of the dedication of part I, and although the dedication of Vol. II is signed by the bookseller Edward Blount, there is no apparent difference in the style of the volumes, which remain, in spite of all drawbacks, the most natural and spirited English version of Don Quixote. It is curious to observe how much Mr. Watts is indebted to Shelton for idiomatic turns of speech.

This is considered by competent critics to be the best of all the English
translations of the great Spanish romance. The life of Cervantes by Mr. Watts, which
forms the first volume, is a masterpiece, based throughout upon sound historical
research. The Index which terminates the work, is most exhaustive, and is the only
complete Index ever added to any English edition of Don Quixote.

THE CYCLOPEDIA OF PAINTERS AND PAINTINGS is not only a fuller biographical
dictionary than any other of the painters of all times and schools, including prominent
contemporaries, but it is as well a dictionary of works; and in a form in which the one
branch of information is as immediately accessible as the other. The important
paintings of all periods are treated under their own names, in separate articles, in
which are given accurate descriptions of each work, its date, its place of preservation,
its history from the time of leaving the painter's easel, notices of its replicas and copies,
the names of its engravers, and such other facts as make the account as nearly as
possible exhaustive.

So great are the attractions and so high the merits of this work, that the British
Museum authorities claimed and secured a copy as AN ENGLISH PUBLICATION."

In the "Cyclopedia of Painters and Painting," edited by John Denison Champlin, jun. (Bernard Quaritch), we have a most admirable compendium, in four quarto volumes, of the information so much desired by artists and art-critics, as well as connoisseurs generally, upon the vast field indicated by the title. Mr. Quaritch has here published a work at once pleasing and useful, ranging over all the known history of painting, and giving the particulars in more or less detail of all the artists, great and small, ancient and modern. The plan of this laborious task, which has occupied a long while in completion, is simple. Under the best-known name of each painter will be found the main facts of his life, with a list of his known works. If any of these be of importance, notice is given by the use of italics that the painting will be found specially described elsewhere. The text, which is very clear, is enriched with 2000 illustrations, some being portraits, small but faithful, of the painters, and some outline reproductions of the principal canvases; while each volume has for frontispiece a photogravure representing some well-known picture. All the art world must welcome this elaborate and careful compilation, which brings into convenient form the history of the various schools, from Zeuxis and Apelles to men now living. These volumes, alphabetically arranged, present, of course, the result of immense research, and will prove indispensable

£ s. d. to all who have to write on art topics. The illustrations, though small, are often of high merit—as, for instance, the St. Anthony of Padua and the Infant Jesus, Elizabeth Sivani, Bologna Gallery; the Ascension, by Perugino, of the Lyons Museum; the Aurora of Guido Reni, of the Palazzo Raspigliosi, at Rome. We should add that the autographs and special signatures of the principal artists are also given, adding not a little to the value of the compilation, which reflects the utmost credit on the editor and publisher.-Daily Telegraph, December 29th, 1888.
