The collection of POETRY and the DRAMA will not be found so complete in original editions as some other departments. The first editions of

"The Fairie Queene,

Old Geffrey, Sidney, Drayton, Randolph, Greene,
The double Beaumonde, Drummond, Browne," *

are "conspicuous by their absence;" but such absence is well recompensed in many instances by the beautiful reprints of Pickering and others; and, for an ordinary library, there is surely enough. We instance

226. Anne Bradstreet's Poems. First Edition. 1651.
245. British Poets. 130 vols. Large Paper.

But the chief feature and crowning glory of this Library is the almost unequalled collection of AMERI

CANA.

This department, although the last formed, is, in many respects, the most complete. It properly forms a part of the history of the formation of this Library to remark that Mr. Rice, through our agency, in the year 1866, became the purchaser, at a cost of fourteen thousand dollars, of the entire library of Americana formed by Mr. John F. McCoy, of New York, which, for its size, was one of the best within our knowledge.

Since that time, Mr. Rice's purchases have been mostly in this direction; and after this sale, he expects to reenter the lists as a buyer of books of this class. Included in this department are many specimens of early printing in this country, by Samuel and Benjamin Green, William Bradford, Benjamin Franklin, James Franklin, and others.

Among the books in this division, we enumerate the following Lots as being of special merit, either for their beauty or rarity:

3. Acosta's West Indies. Black Letter.
