    proportion of them are quite new, I should infer not that this is an end of them, but that there must be a considerable number still, especially of chap- books. Accident may bring some more of these into daylight, as it has already done with those described. In the next part of this supplement, I shall consider another portion of the books which I have collected. Note to § 8. October loth, i8g-/.. In the Bibliotheque Royale at Brussels I have found, since my paper was in type, some additional information as to Panciroli’s book. A copy of it was in Van Hulthem’s collection, and appended to the entry in the catalogue {Bibliotheca Hiilthemiana, ou Catalogue Mithodique de la riche et precieuse Collection de Livres et des Alanuscrits delaisses par M. Ch. Vaji Hulthe7n. (land, 1836. 5 Tomes, 8vo) there is the following note : Traits curieux, dont la traduction pat Salmuth parut en I599avant I’original, compost pour le due de Savoie. Comme on ne peut retrouver la copie du texte priuiitif, Gualterio, a la pri^re des neveux de Panciroli, suit I’ouvrage en italien, d’aptes le texte latin. Voy. Biogr. nniv. vol. 32, p. 479, et la note. This is an unexpected confirmation of the suggestion made in my note to § 8, that the Italian edition might have been re-translated from the Latin. In the same library I found the only copy I have met with of the first edition of the second part, accompanying the first edition of the first part : 1599 and 1602. The 1599 volume is also in the British Museum, as I have already said, but not that of 1602. No apology, therefore, is required for the following account of the first issue of this book : Rervm ] Memorabilium | lam Olim | Deperditarum : | & contra | Recens Atqve Ingeniose | Inventarum : | Libri duo, | a [ Gvidone Pancirollo : | Ic.
