The coppers used in the French edition of the work were re-engraved in a superior manner for this Italian edition.

A great number of Illustrations are given drawn from MSS. and of much interest to the Paleographical student. The Arts of Engraving on Wood, on Gems, and Medals are also represented. 902 AKERMAN (J.

The Frescoes were painted by the best Tuscan Artists, and they represent events in Ancient and Scriptural History. Every year the Frescoes will be less easily discerned, and Lasinio's engravings must become enhanced in value. Chronology: 916 ALT (H.) das Kirchenjahr des Christlichen Morgen- und Abendlandes, mit seinen Festen, Fasten und Bibellectionen, 8vo, hf. morocco, 58 Berlin, 1860 Chronology-continued. 917 CROSTHWAITE (Rev.

Uncut Small Paper copies (by 1 inch shorter) are occasionally mistaken for Large Paper copies; even the existence of Large Paper copies has been doubted.
