Early Engraved Maps, Antiquities in Gold by the Aborigines of America, &c., all beautifully executed in facsimile of the originals, in GOLD, SILVER, and coLOURS; with Descriptions in English and French. Royal folio, in portfolio, £5. 108 (pub. £9. 98) 1864 Of this splendid and unique work only 150 copies were executed. This is undoubtedly one of the most interesting and valuable works on Book Ornamentation ever produced. The Athenæum, in an elaborate notice of it, says: "This splendidly illustrated work contains about a hundred examples of various methods of book

decoration-considering a volume as a field for the ornamental and Caligraphic arts-which are comparatively little known, yet every one characteristic, and most of them beautiful in their way. Not even the work of Count Bastard transcends this one in the beauty of the illuminations. No English book is equal to it in richness and splendour of the plates. For instance, in copying the enamels ef early bindings and their inlaid gems, such attention has been given to their colour-so cunningly applied in their originals-as not only bespeaks the taste of the reproducers, but would have been grateful to the émailleur of old," &c.
