The pons asinorum of collectors is to make a complete set of HULSIUS.

The

Parts of this set are generally large and very fine, most of them with all the maps and plates, ready for binding. Parts XX and XXVI are wanting altogether. Part XXI wants the map and 4 plates. Part XXIV wants portrait. All the other parts are complete, in good order and correct, according to intelligent collation and abundant study, but some duplicate and misplaced plates that certain inconsiderate writers have described are purposely omitted as confusing and unbibliographical. They can however be supplied by the proprietors.

It will be perceived that all but five of the parts are FIRST EDITIONS. Mr. Stevens' fine set in red morocco, all first editions except Part VII, sold in the Crowninshield Sale, in 1860, for £335. Most of the parts in this set are as fine or finer than in that set, all the rare parts are here save 20 and 26.

275 HULSIUS (LIVINUS) COLLECTION OF VOYAGES AND TRAVELS (in German) another set of Parts I to XVI, mostly but not all first or early editions, in general a good set, and most of the parts perfect, but some maps and plates may be wanting, sold therefore subject only to collation before the sale
