€^3 2-<> TYPOGEAPHICAL GAZETTEER COTTON. Honlron MACMILLAN AND CO. PUBLISHERS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ©iforl) TYPOGRAPHICAL GAZETTEER ATTEMPTED BY THE REV. HENRY COTTON, D.C.L ARCnDEACON OF CASDEL LATE SUB-LIBRAEIAN OF THE BODLEIAN LIBRARY SECOND SERIES. AT THE CLARENDON PRESS M.DCCC.LXVI. UBtARt PEEFACE. A FEW words of Introduction appear necessary, in order to account for the appearance of this volume. Fifty-two years ago, I was appointed one of the two Sub- librarians of the Bodleian Library at Oxford, an office which at once brought me into immediate contact with more than 200,000 volumes of printed books, besides several thousand manuscripts, in many languages and of almost every age. Of course I was bewildered with the vast mass before me ; possessed by a dim andmii^y^jiotion df the immense value of the literarj' treasures, partly committed to my care, but without any distinct idea of the actual contents- ox Iha, great repository, or of its strength in any particular department of literature. But light broke in upon me by degrees. Through the daily work of arranging and cataloguing books, and of making searches for the use of persons who came to consult the library for various branches of study, I began to acquire some general acquaintance with its contents. In the prosecution of those official duties, I could not but be forcibly struck with the remarkable beauty of some of the earliest Specimens of Typography, — of which the Bodleian even then possessed a very large and rich assortment ; — and my feeling of admiration led me to make some enquiries into the History of Prmi'mg. I felt a desire to trace those beautiful specimens to vi PREFACE. their birthplaces ; to find out what countries and towns had honourably distinguished themselves by an early adoption of the newly-discovered important Art ; — and to observe what sorts of books those early presses had been the means of putting into the hands of the reading Public. So that I made short notes of all those particulars from time to time, as they chanced to come in my way. After leaving the Bodleian, in the year 1822^ and being transferred to a small country town in the south of Ireland, where no living bibliographer, and scarcely a bibliographical work, was to be found within fifty miles, I collected those notes of former years, and published such of them as related to the earlier and more rare and curious printed books, in a volume entitled " A Typographical Gazetteer attempted/' Oxford, 1825, Svo. An enlarged edition of this was printed in 1832. Although, from the time of my quitting Oxford, I was cut off from opportunities of going on with the work which I had designed, except by means of occasional visits to England, or to Dublin, and had important duties of a different kind to attend to, — '•'•servahat odorem^, 'T'esta''''-^t\ie\ harbifc still clung to me of remarking and noting down particulars of. 9,ny place at which I found that a PriHti?>g-pte^S ^ad Ibeeft .'established (if that place had not been mentioned in my former volume) : and in the course of years those detached notes had accumulated to a very considerable number. In every instance where it was practicable, I described the books from personal inspection; but, as my secluded situation would not always afford an opportunity of doing this, I have had to rely upon the trustworthy statements of eminent Bibli- ographers, such as Brunet, Barbier, Peignot, Upcott, Lowndes, Martin, &c., and upon some approved Catalogues of public and private Libraries, as those of the British Museum, the Bodleian, the British and Foreign Bible Society, Earl Spencer, Mr. Gran- ville, Miss Currer, &c. (a List of which Authorities is subjoined PREFACE. vii to this Preface.) And, more recently, I have been largely in- debted to the very curious and valuable " Catalogue of the Philological Library of Sir George Grey," printed at Capetown in South Africa, in 1858-9, which contains highly interesting notices of books and tracts in numerous languages and dialects of Asia, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Polynesia, &c.; most of which have been printed within the last few years by Mis- sionaries of the Gospel, at presses erected by themselves, and often worked by their own hands, in various villages or ' Sta- tions/ many of whose names had never before been heard by European ears ; presses, which were continually transferred from place to place, as soon as the chief object of their establishment appeared to have been sufficiently attained in their former loca- tions, by an adequate supply of books for the instruction of the natives. I may remark here, in passing, that this occasional Itinerancy of the Press presents a curious feature in its history. The readers of English Church History must remember that, in the reign of Queen Ehzabeth, while the " Martin Mar-Prelate" con- troversy was going on, its fugitive leaders carried their secret press from one place to another, as is briefly related in my first Series under the head of Moulsey, p. 184. Again, King Charles I., during his wars with the Parliament, carried his own printer, Robert Barker, with him to York, Newcastle, and other towns where he found it necessary to pitch his camp. Many other sovereigns and leaders of armies have done the same, down to our own times. During the late fierce Civil war in the United States of America, printers were often forced to fly with their presses &c. from one town or village to the next, as the troops of the enemy advanced upon them ; a curious instance of which is given at p. 137 of this volume, under the article Memphis. Another form of Itinerancy of the Press is to be seen in numerous recorded instances of Ships, when preparing foi' some viii PREFACE. long cruise or voyage, taking on board a press and all necessary materials, for the use or amusement of the officers and crews. One such instance I mentioned in Series I. under the word Blediterranean, as having occurred in the year 1812 : a second took place in 1819, on Captain Parry's voyage to the Arctic Regions; when a press set up on board of his ship, the Hecla., which was then ice-bound off the coast of Melville Island, was employed in working off a Neicspapen^ entitled " The North Georgia Gazette." See the article Winter Harbouy\ in the same work. A third instance is mentioned in the present volume, p. 157, under Noordsee : where a Dutch Bible is cited, printed on board a ship then cruising in the German Ocean. This occurred so long ago as the year 1 564, And in the interesting narrative of the American Commo- dore Perry's expedition to China and Japan, printed at New York in 1856, it is stated that, while the squadron was stationed in the Bay of Hakodadi, off the coast of Jesson, the most northerly of the islands of Japan, a ship's crew got up a Con- cert of Ethiopian Minstrels, for the amusement of the natives, and bills of the performance were printed on board the vessel. This took place in the year 1854, But the recent movements of the Missionary press, of which I spoke above, arose from a very diffei'ent cause, and had a far higher and holier object in view. They were undertaken, not to spread abroad schism and disaffection j not merely to record the acts and ordinances of contending armies : still less, to while away the time of ships' crews long compelled to idleness, or to amuse the minds of untaught islanders by novel exhibitions : — but to disseminate the blessings of Civilization and true Religion through countries in which both of them were equally unknown ; and to carry the Word of Life to millions of our fellow creatures, who never had heard the name of the Redeemer, nor had any idea of His existence. PREFACE. ix Perhaps T owe an apology to my readers, for the introduction of so extended a list of villages and small stations in the United States of America, in which Neicsjmpers — and often nothing else — have been printed. Eight hundred of these places are here mentioned (p. 243 to 289). But almost everything connected witli those States has been of so surprisingly rapid and vigorous growth, as to challenge and deserve attention ; and the strongly- marked political feeling of the people has been developed to a wonderful degree by means of the wide diffusion of their Period- ical Press. During the last century, the Newspapers in the States were but few. Tn the year 1820 it was calculated that they amounted to about 500; while in 1850 I have found no less than 2,662 specified by name, and doubtless many others have escaped notice and record. Voluminous as the list was in 1850, its numbers are pro- gressively increasing. We are now informed, that *' since the late Civil war nearly 300 new daily and weekly Journals have been started in various parts of the United States." I trust that no person will fall into the mistake of supposing that this little work presumes to call itself a " History of Print- ing." It is nothing of the kind ; and lays no claim to such a title. That large and important branch of the history of Lite- rature remains yet to be written. This is merely a collection of rude materials, the miscellaneous gatherings of a single indi- vidual placed in circumstances by no means favourable to the execution of a task which obviously would require the writer to reside where he might have continual access to large libraries, such as those of the British iMuseum, of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and of the great Religious Societies; and where also he might enjoy the advantage of the earliest and best information from distant countries, together with constant intercourse with literary friends. For, simple as many of these X PREFACE. details may appear, and easy to be obtained, it is in fact more difficult than some persons may be willing to believe, to ascer- tain with exactness the time when the Art of Printing was first introduced even into the towns of our own country. 1 have found this particularly so with respect to the small towns of Ireland ; although in most cases its introduction took place at very recent periods ; so recent indeed that, with the exceptions of Dublin, Cork, Waterford, Kilkenny, and Belfast, I do not know of any printing here before the middle of the eighteenth century, and scarcely anything before the year 1770. Many of our towns produced nothing beyond posting-bills, law notices, and other broadsides, until the beginning of the present century. The following statement relating to the Newspaper Press of Ireland has appeared in a weekly Journal, since the pages of this work were printed off; namely, in The CasJiel Gazette of June 23rd, 1866.— " The Irish Provincial Press. " Some curious particulars regarding the Press in Ireland are worthy of note. There are thirty Newspapers published in Dublin, and seventy four iu the provinces. Thus the total is one hundred and four. " It is, however, of the Provincial Press, of which we are an humble member, we mean to speak. Of these seventy four newspapers, eleven are published in Belfast, seven in Water- ford, four in each of the towns of Cork, Limerick, Wexford, Sligo, and Londonderry ; three each in Drogheda, Enniskillen, and Dundalk ; while there are two published in each of the following places : — Armagh, Boyle, Carlow, Castlebar, Clonmel, Ennis, Enniscorthy, Galway, Kilkenny, Nenagh, Omagh, Ros- common, Tralee, and Tuam ; while Athlone, Ballina, Ballina- sloe, Ballymena, Ballymoney, Ballyshannon, Bray, Carrick-on- Shannon, Cashel, Cavan, Coleraine, Downpatrick, Gorey, Kells, Kilrush, Longford, Lurgan, Maryborough, Mohill, Monaghan, Mullingar, Naas, Newry, Parsonstown, Portadown, Roscrea, Skibbereen, Tullamore, and Wicklow, have one each. " The names by w hich they are called are also curious. There PREFACE. xi are eight Journals, eight Chronicles, seven Gazettes, seven News, six Heralds, five Reporters, five Expresses, four Constitutions, four Guardians, three Standards, three Independents, two iWtcs Letters, three Advertisers ; while there are two Fr^(? Presses, WMgs, Posts, Sentinels, Telegraphs, Examiners, Watchmen, and MaiVs ; while there is a >S'^ar, a Banner, a Circular, a Press, a Recorder, an Argus, a Conservative, a Democrat, a Freeman, a Vindicator, a Correspondent, a Moderator, an Eagle, a Champion, a Patriot, a Citizen, and a People. "The days upon which these papers are published present a strange variety. Six publish daily ; forty seven on Saturday ; eight on Friday; nine on Thursday; two on Wednesday; two on Tuesday ; and one on Monday : — five publish on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday ; two on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday ; sixteen on Wednesday and Saturday ; three on Tues- day and Friday ; and two on Monday and Thursday." Those who may have occasion to make use of this volume, will please to take notice : — 1 . That, when a simple date is appended to the name of any place, it does not imply that the Art of Printing was then first introduced ; but merely, that I have not chanced to meet with, or ascertain, any earlier specimen of its press. 2. An asterisk is prefixed to the names of towns which have been mentioned already in my First Series, but respecting which some coi-rection has been found necessary, or some additional information has been obtained. 3. In the Appendix I have given a Table of Pseudonyms, i. e. fictitious or falsely-assumed imprints. The present list contains more than double the number of names which were mentioned in my former volume, namely 526 instead of 201 ; and I still hold to the reasons, there assigned, for not entering into a particular description of any of the works which bear those disguised imprints. Well knowing how incomplete and incorrect this compilation is, my only answer to any one who may not unreasonably ask on what grounds I venture to offer it to the public, is this : — I xii PREFACE. feel that I have no prospect of ever being able to put it into a more presentable shape ; and I see no sign that any other person, better qualified and more favourably circumstanced than myself, is coming forward to supply this kind of informa- tion ; which, even in its present scanty measure and imperfect state, many persons may be glad to gain. Therefore, being now in my seventy-seventh year, and while deafness, defective sight, and other infirmities materially impede my discharge of the duties belonging to my profession ; I have busied myself in putting together these scattered memoranda of past years, and have endeavoured to supplement them with whatever more recent information I have been able to collect. And in this crude state, and with all its faults upon its head, I request the literary public to accept this little volume, as my last " attempt,"" my farewell contribution to Bibliography.

The places to which an asterisk is prefixed are to he found in the first series of this work : but they are repeated here on account of some corrections or additional information obtained since the publication of that volume. Aachen, is the German name of Aix-la-Chapelle. Abbeokutu, a large town on the west coast of Africa, in the kingdom of Yorruba, near to the Bight of Benin. It has greatly increased in population and prosperity since the year 1817. It is a station of the British Church Missionary Society. A Newsjjaper, in English and the native language, is published here twice a month. — 1862. Aherdar, a village of South Wales, in the county of Glamorgan, distant five miles from the town of Merthyr Tydfil. It contains extensive ironworks. W. Lloyd has erected a most creditable printing-establishment in this little place. Aberfehly, a village of Scotland, in the county of Perth, beautifully situated on the banks of the river Tay. In " Notes and Queries" (Dec. 24, 1864) is an account of a curious little work on the beauties of the local scenery, written by an un- educated peasant named Angvs M'^ Diarmid ; which bears ^6er- feldy, published by D.Cameron, printer and bookseller, 1841. (2nd Edition, 8". 27 pp.) Abergavenny, a pleasant and thriving market town of Eng- land, in Monmouthshire. — 1827. Abertawy, the Welsh name of Swansea, a seaport town of South Wales, in Glamorganshire. A Welsh and English Bible printed here in 1823 bears this imprint. Aberiistivith, a seaport town of Wales, in the county of Car- digan, pleasantly situated on Cardigan Bay, and of late years \ become a fashionable watering-place. — 1820. '2 AB.— AG. jibingdon, a aiarket town of England^ in Berkshire, which in ancient times possessed a considerable abbey. Antony a Wood, the Oxford historian, states in his Annals (vol. i. p. 623), that a press was set up in the Abbey. He specifies no time, but names '' Abhentin" with Worcester, at which latter city printing was introduced about the year 1548. Brunet, in the last edition of his "Manuel/' cites a Breviariuni Abingtomense, printed by Jo. Scholar, (who printed at Oxford in 1512 to 1518,) of which the " Pars ^stivalis^' is in the library of Emmanuel College, Cam- bridge. No date is given. It may be that Scholar set up his press at Abingdon for some short time ; but, with this excep- tion, I have not heard of any specimen of this ancient Abingdon press ; nor indeed of any book executed there before the very recent date of 1831. *Abo. Peignot, in his "■ Dictiounaire des livres condaranes au feu,*" citing De Bure as his authority, mentions that printing was carried on at Abo so early as the year 1560, by Petrus Bald. ^Abredonia. Another of Edward Raban''s early productions is Jo. Liid. Vives^ introductio ad sapierdiam ; " Aberdonife, excu- debat Edvardus Rabanus, impensis Davidis Melvil," 1623, 16o. Raban appears to have printed at Edinburgh and St. Andrews before he settled in Aberdeen. (See a notice of him in " Notes and Queries," 2nd Ser. XII. p. 21.) Achilla a small island, lying off the west coast of Ireland, and forming part of the county of Mayo. The Rev. Edward Nangle introduced a printing-press into the island, at the Mission-house at Dugarth, and established a religious periodical, entitled The Achill Missionary Herald ; the first number of which appeared on July 31st, 1837, printed at the Mission Press, by William Pugh. Adelaide, a rapidly-rising town of South Australia, capital of the county of Adelaide. It stands at the distance of about six miles from Port Adelaide, a seaport on the Gulf of St. Vincent. The town was laid out by the British in the year 1837. A press was speedily introduced. In 1839 Williams' Vocabulary of the Language of the Aborigines was printed here. Aemona Pannoniorum is one of the ancient names of Laybach. See under Labacum, in Series I. Agra, a large and famed city of India, seated on the river Jumna j it is the capital of the province of Agra, and formerly AG.— AL. 3 was the seat of empire. Since it came into possession of the British the art of printing has been introduced. An English Newspaper is now published there. "^Affria, Egar or Erlau, a large ancient town of Hungary, lying on a river of the same name, 38 miles N.E. of Buda. It is an archbishop's see. Typography was carried on in 1687, 1689, &c. Aiffle {L""), a considerable town of France, in the Department of Orne. It has various manufactures, more especially of needles and pins. — 1841. A ire, a town of France, in the Department of Pas de Calais, 13 miles distant from St. Omer's. A work in English, B. Bo- mardPs Christian Duty, (probably translated by a Jesuit of the college of St. Omer,) was printed here in 1684, 4''. Aitchson, is the name of a county in the State of Missouri, North America. Its nominal capital is a small town named Linden. A newspaper, called The Aitchson Champion^ is now in course of publication. Probably it is printed at Linden. I have not seen it. Alais, a large trading town of France, in the Department of Gard, lying between Orange and Montpelier. — 1816. *Alba Carolina probably designates Karlsburg, a very ancient and considerable town of Transylvania, chief of the Palatinate of Karlsburg. It is a bishop's see, and contains a magnificent cathedral. — 1757. "^Alba Julia. In Hungarian books this town is named Fejer-var, or Giida Fejer-var. Typography is said to have been introduced so early as 1567. (Bodl.) "^Alba Regalis, in Hungarian books, is Szeches Fejer-var. ^Albani (S.) Villa. The fourth early St. Alban's book, named in my first series, is entitled Johannis Canonici questiones super octo libros phisicorum Aristoteli.'^, 1481. The volume is in folio, (not quarto). The only known copy of it is now in the Bodleian Library. A very fine copy of No. 6, The Book of St, Alban's, is in the Public Library at Cambridge ; but unfortunately it wants the first three leaves. That Library however possesses another book of the XVth century from this press, which I believe is hitherto undescrjbed ; viz. Augustini Dathi Scribe super Tidlianis e/oganciis (sic) ^' verbis exoficis in sua fao.uidissima Rethorira inrijrit pornafe B 2 4 AL. libellus. The tract consists of 18 leaves in quarto^ unnum- bered, and without signatures^ each containing 32 lines of very small print. At the foot of the last is, " Impressum fuit opus hoc apud Sem Albann. (Ab. ... )." ^Albany, New York. In 1795, Charles and George Webster printed Bishop LowtKs version of Isaiah. In 1813, H. Smith- wick was printing; in 1816, E. F. Backus; in 1833 a Version of the New Testament in the Chippaiva language was printed. Aldenhurg, a town of Germany, in the Duchy of Anhalt- Bernburg, about ^0 miles S. of Magdeburg. Feverlin (tom. ii. p. 42) names a German book printed here in 1524. Aldershott, a village of England, in Hampshire, distant 3 miles from Farnham. It has recently become well known as the site of an extensive military camp. Vinefs Abridgment, a law- book of great repute, in ten vols, folio, was printed here by the compiler, in his own dwelling-house, in 1742-1753. (Notes and Queries.) Alenquez, qusere, a town or village of Portugal? Ribeiro states that a temporary press existed here in 1612 ; at which the Arte Militar of L. Mendez de Vasconcelles was printed. Alessandria, a large and strongly-fortified city of Italy, in Piedmont. It is the chief town of a government, and a bishop's see. A History of the Church and Diocese of Alessandria is dated 1785. Alestadium, AUstadt or Allstedt, an old town of Germany, in Saxe-Weimar, on the Rhone. Feverlin (Bibl. Symb. Luth. p. 346) mentions some remains of its early typography ; viz. three pieces by Munster and his Anabaptist followers, dated " Alstedt M.D.XXIIII." But one of them adds to that colo- phon, "gedrucht zu Eylenburch durch Nicolaum Widemor." Quaere, at which place were they printed ? Those early tracts are very rare. Feverlin names two or three others. I have seen no book earlier than 1732. ^Alexandria. The first work in English executed in this town was 3Ir. Salt's Egypt, a Descriptive Poem, " printed by Alex- ander Dragi, at the European press," 1824, 8°. Only fifty copies were printed. (Martin.) Alexandria Statiella, Alexandria della paglia, a large town of Italy, on the river Tessino, between Turin and Milan. It is a bishop's see. Books were printed here very respectably, by AL. 5 Hercules Quintianus, in 1 598. Two specimens of that year are in the Bodleian. One of 1591 was in Mr. Ileber's Library. Alexnitz, a small town of Russia, in the province of Volhynia. A Commentary on the Pentateuch, by Aaron hen Nathan, was printed here in 1768, in 4^. Probably Olexnitz (q. v.) is the same place. Algiers, a large seaport city, on the north coast of Africa, seated on a bay opening to the Mediterranean. Formerly the capital of a Pachalik under the Sultan, it is now the capital of the French colony of Algeria. When the French army first obtained possession of the town in 1831, they erected a litho- graphic press, at which the first two numbers of a newspaper, Moniteur Algerien, were struck off in January and February 1832. Soon afterwards they were reprinted with moveable types at a press sent from France, which at first was called " The Army Press," and in April of that year " The Govern- ment Press." In 1834 a second press was introduced, but this was closed by authority in 1838. (T. C.) The art is now carried on extensively at Algiers. An archaeological journal, the Reoue Africaine, has been published there since the year 1857. Alicante, a seaport town of Spain, in Valencia, capital of the province of Alicante. — 1813. Allahabad, a large ancient city of Hindostan, capital of the province, situated at the confluence of the rivers Ganges and Jumna. It came into possession of the British in 1803, and has been made an important military depot. The Amei'ican Missionaries established a "Presbyterian Mission Press" in or before the year 1 841 . Almeirin, a small town of Portugal, in the province of Estre- madura. Ribeiro states that a portable press was set up here in 1516, from which proceeded The Rules and Statutes of the Order of Aciz, fol. A second work was begun here, the Can- cionero of Garcia de Rizende, but this was finished at Lisbon. Again, in 1580, a temporary press was erected, fi-om which we have a single book by F. Tcixera and A. de Luceno, in foHo. Alnwick, a pleasant market town of England, in Northumber- land, chiefly remarkable for a magnificent castle, the residence of the Duke of Northumberland. It possessed a press in 1800. John Scarfe, Esq., printed here private impressions of .several 6 AL— AM. small pieces, for his own amusement and the use of his friends ; among them are " Poems, iv parts, 12°. 1815, only six copies." " Poems, the second part, 1816, only two copies.^'' " King Coal's Levee," 8°. 1818, only 25 copies. The same, 2d edition, 181-. The same, 3d edition, 12o. 1819, &c., &c. Alshowie (?) A monastery of St. John, situated in this place, contained a press in 1810, from which issued Collectio AntiocJiena Canotium. (Bodl.) Also - Sclavonia-ban. Also - Borgo ? or Also - Sebes ? both towns of Transylvania ; or Also-Saio, a small town of Hungary ? Books were printed here in 1769. (Szecheny Oat.) Alston, or Alstone, a market town of England, in Cumberland, having in its immediate neighbourhood extensive and valuable mines of lead and copper. John Harrop printed here in 1808 a History of the Irish Rebellion 0/1798. Altdorfium ad Vineas denotes Weingarten, a small town in the Grand Duchy of Baden, where formerly was a large monastery of Benedictines. A work by P. Grez, one of the monks, was printed here in 1696. Altena, an ancient town of Prussia, the capital of a Circle. Mr. Abercon, a German, who had failed in London as a printer, removed to Altena in 1773, and there commenced publishing a Nezvspaper on the plan of those in England. But having inserted an account of the revolution at Copenhagen, copied from some English paper, he was imprisoned for high treason, and his property was confiscated. (Timperley, p. 728.)

Aranzazu, a large and magnificent Convent of Franciscans in Spain, beautifully seated in the mountainous parts of Gui- puscoa, at the distance of a league and a half from the town of Onate. These Religious Fathers are stated to have provided themselves superabundantly with all those worldly comforts which such persons are generally supposed to have resigned. ' Many were the wonders,^^ it is said, " performed by these ' saints. At their nod, contributions of wine, meat, bread, ' and every necessary and luxury of life were poured into ' the cellars of these holy men. The Convent was a complete ' palace ; it contained every comfort that could make a retired ' life agreeable, and every enjoyment that man could desire. ' They had a magnificent library, and an excellent orchestra. ' The chapel of the convent was most magnificent ; the cells ^ of the monks elegant apartments. These holy men, whose ' profession is that of self-denial and poverty, wallowed in ' luxury and idleness. At the commencement of the rebel- ' lion, they took an active and decided part. Their cellars ' furnished wine, and their stores bread and meat, to the ' rebels. They formed magazines of arms and powder within ' the walls of the convent. They established and directed a ' Press for the printing of ofiicial bulletins and proclamations. ' They even had forges in subterraneous vaults for making ' muskets. There were held all the councils of war. In fact, 10 AR. " it was the focus of revolt, from whence the spirit of rebellion " was kept alive and nourished/' But this flagrant perversion and abuse of the name and privileges of Religion did not fail to draw down upon the com- munity the vengeance which it justly deserved. The Spanish authorities could no longer brook such audacious interference in political affairs ; and on the 17th of August, 1834, a body of troops was dispatched to burn and raze to the ground the obnoxious convent, and commit its rebellious in- mates to prison. The task was effectually accomphshed. And a writer on the spot adds to this account, " I hope this may " prove a salutary lesson to the clergy of Spain, and convince '' them that, although they have hitherto committed crimes with " impunity, the day of retribution has at length come, when " they will be judged and punished according to the enormity of '' their oflFences."

A copy now before me, dated 16th June, 1 802, records the interesting fact, that the House of Commons granted to Dr. Jenner ten thousand pounds for the discovery of Vaccine Inoculation ; and to Mr, Greathead twelve hundred pounds for the invention of the Life-boat.

It was formerly a house of monks of La Trappe ; and on their removal was purchased by a nobleman of high and ancient family in Prussia, Count Adelbert Von der Recke von Volmarstein. The count, animated by a strong feeling of religious duty, devoted all his fortune, his time, and his personal exertions to works of Chris- tian charity. By unwearied exertions he erected here an Asylum for deserted Orj^hans of those who had fallen in the wars of Germany ; to which subsequently was added an Institution for converted Jeics. Among other useful accompaniments of his establishment, he introduced in the year 1830 or 1831 a printing-press ; and began to send forth from it periodical publications, one of which was named The Children''s Magazine; another. The Phi- lanthropist ; a third. The Deaconess; some of which have had a widely extended circulation.

The earliest press of Edinburgh, like those of Oxford, Cam- bridge, St. Alban*s, and others, was doomed to suffer an in- terruption for some years. G. Chalmers observes (Caledonia, ii. p. 606) : — " As Chapman and Myllar had ceased to print "before 1530, I doubt whether there were a printing-press at "that epoch in Scotland." Robert Lekpreuik, the well-known printer of The Black Acts and other important works, carried on business here in 1561 to 1570. *' A post-office was first established here in 1635 : and people '^then began to take more interest in political affairs and to " desire a Newspaper.

It is beautifully printed in large types, both black and red ; each page within a border ; and contains foil. 120, in octavo. [See Masch^s Le Lough's Bibl. Sacra, ii. p. 138.] Faringdon, a market town of England, in the county of Berks. In 1798 L. Piggott printed a History of Faringdon and the Neighbouring Towns. Farley Hill, the seat of 0. Dickinson, Esq., distant 7 miles from the town of Reading, in Berkshire. The late Charles Dickinson kept a private press in his house, and for some years amused himself with printing his own poetical compositions. He set the types himself, as the verses occurred to him, for his poems were not written. See some notice of him in "Martin"'s Catalogue of Privately-printed Books." One poem, called Cyllenius, bears the imprint " Farley Hill : printed by J. Magennis, 1820." Farnham, a considerable market town of England, in the county of Surrey. Its chief trade is in hops. It is the birth- place of the well-known writer William Cobbett. — 1820. ^Faventia. Panzer did not include Faenza in his list of early-printing towns. But the Bodleian Library contains a book which gives it a right to insertion among them; viz. Antonii 74 FA— FE.

The old play, The Tragedie of Arden of Feversham and Black Will, first printed in 1592, was reprinted here in 1770. Fayetteville, a considerable town of the United States of America, capital of Cumberland County, North CaroHna. It has extensive manufactures. Thomas informs us, that printing was carried on before 1810. On May 29, 1831, the town suifered under a dreadful conflagration, which consumed the printing- offices and almost every other building ; but providentially no lives were lost. In 1853 three Newspapers were published here. Feltre, a town of Austrian Italy, in the Government of Venetia. It is the capital of a District, and a Bishop's see. Two editions of Petrarch were printed here in 1753. Fermoy, a considerable market town of Ireland, in the county of Cork, situated on the river Blackwater. It has a very large and handsome Military Barrack. Its first printer was William Henry Creagh, who settled here in the year 1803. Ferney, a village of France, on the borders of Switzerland, within 5 miles of Geneva. It is chiefly remembered as the residence of Voltaire ; who erected a private - press in his Chateau, for the more ready diff'usion of his own unwholesome writings. The subsequent history of that press is somewhat remarkable. The following anecdote respecting it deserves to be recorded. " Voltaire boasted, that with one hand he would overthrow " that edifice of Christianity which required the hands of '' twelve Apostles to build up. At this day the press, which "he employed at Ferney to print his blasphemies, is actually " employed at Geneva in printing the Holy Scriptures. Thus " the self-same engine, which he set to work to destroy the '' credit of the Bible, is engaged in disseminating its truths. " It may also be added as a remarkable circumstance, that the *' first provisional meeting for the re-formation of an Auxiliary " Bible Society at Edinburgh, was held in the very room in '* which Hume died." — {Scottish Christian Herald.) FE— FL. 75 Fersfield, a village of England, in the county of Norfolk. The valuable work, BlomfielcVs History of Norfolk, was printed in this place^ in 1736-9- Mr. Blomfield was Rector of Fersfield. Filey, a small seaport town of England, in Yorkshire, within 6 miles of Scarborough. Cortis' Guide to Filey^ 1860. Finshury, a large borough, formerly a suburb, but now an integral part of the great metropolis, London, containing more than 260,000 inhabitants. A printing-press was at work in the year 1659; from which issued Kilburne's Dangerous Errors in sevei'al late-printed Bibles^ 4". (Bodleian.) *Flessinga. Flessinga denotes Flushing, a fortified seaport town of Holland, in the Isle of Walcheren. A copy of The Exposition of the Revelation (see Series I.), a duodecimo of more than 1000 pages, printed by ^Martin Abraham van der Noliick, is in the Bodleian. Fleurus, a small town of Belgium, in the province of Hainault, 7 miles N. E. of Charleroi.— 1848. "^Flexia. Brunet proves that printing was carried on at La Fleche by Rene Trois Mailles so early as 1575. The following unpublished notice of a visit to the Jesuits' College here may not be unacceptable. In a letter from Lord Dungarvan to his father, the first Earl of Cork, dated 2nd August, 1633, now preserved among the MSS. at Lismore Castle, Ireland, is the following ac- count : — " I have seen La Fleche, which is held one of the " fairest Colleges the Jesuits have : it hath five great quad- " rangles, all built of free stone ; the lodgings for the scholars be "all ahke, except for the Noblemen, who have chambers by " themselves ; all the rest lie together, as far as every side of " the quadrangle doth reach, having beds of both sides, where " every one adorns his own ; at the end of these rooms is one of " the Jesuits, to keep them in order. The most remarkable "things there are — the Chapel, where the hcai't of Henry the " 4th (who built this College) is hung up at the side of the altar ; " the several classes, and schools, especially the Rhetoric ; the " Theatre for plays, and the Garden, which is made in fashion " of a town. This College hath above a hundred Jesuits " residing there, 400 pensioners, and an infinite many scholars "which lie in the town."" 76 FL— FO. N.B. That establishment has since been converted into a Military College. Flumen, or Fluvius, Fiurae^ a large and important seaport town of Austria, on the shore of the Adriatic, 36 miles S. S. E. from Trieste. I believe that no notice of the early typography of this town is given by professed bibliographers. But the Vatican Library contains^ among its treasures of Sclavonian literature, two volumes in Glagolitical characters, printed at Fiume, in the year 1521 : one, an Illyrian Missal, in 4° ; the other, Lives of the Popes, by Sitneon Coreichius, in #. Both volumes are of great rarity. [I may note, incidentally, that the Vatican also possesses the Illyrian Missal of 1483, the first book printed with Glagolitic types, justly styled " liber stu- " pendae raritatis.^' See " Collectio auctorum Vaticana," v. p. iii. 1831.] A modern printer of Fiume, A. Karletsky, styles himself " Typographer Royal of the whole maritime district of " Illyria." Folkestone, an ancient seaport town and borough of England, on the coast of Kent. It was a Roman Station ; and is the birthplace of William Harvey, the first discoverer of the circu- lation of the Blood.— 1800. In Sampson's catalogue (York, 1855) appeared the following article: — "Blake (William, the Eccentric Artist and Poet.)

Francisco (San), a seaport town of the United States of America, seated on a bay of the same namo, in Upper Cali- fornia. It has become a large and populous place since the opening of the extensive goldfields in its neighbourhood. The printing-press has been introduced. In the year 1850 it had three Newspapers, two in English, and one in Spanish ; and in 1853 one was commenced in Chinese, to meet the several wants of its varied and fluctuating population. "^Franciscopolis. The art flourished in this town at a much earlier period than is named in Series I., viz. in 1676. Jacques Hubault was a printer and bookseller in 1691. (Bodleian.) Franchalia, qurere if Frankenthal, a small town of Bavaria, in the Palatinate ? — 1578. Frauenfeld, a small town of Switzerland, capital of the Canton of Thurgau. It has the remains of an ancient Castle. — 1838. A periodical is in course of publication here, entitled Schiceig- heuscher Museum. Fredericksnagore, and in a Latin book Fredericnagoriim, is the earlier name of the town of Serawpore. The History of King Krishnu Chunda Baya ; Sepee Malu, or The Bracelet of TVriiing; and The Mahahharah, a Hindu poem, were printed at the Mission Press, without date, but before 1820. Fredericton, a large town of British North America, the capital of New Brunswick. — 1840. Freemantle, a town of Western Australia, in the county of 78 FR. Perth, at the mouth of the Svvau Kiver. It was founded in 1826. A printing-press was at work here in the close of 3831, when a weekly Newspaper was started, under the name of The Freemantle Observer. Freetoum, a modern but large and populous town, situated on the West coast of Africa, the capital of the British colony of Sierra Leone. The Church Missionary Society established a Station here in 1827. The printing-press has been introduced into this settlement ; and a Newspaper, The Freetown Observer, is regularly issued. Freiberga Hermundurorum, Freiberg or Freyberg, a large manufacturing town of Saxony, situated in the centre of a rich mining district. Among its public buildings is a Mining Academy, where the celebrated Werner for some time presided. Printing was in use in 1605. In 1628 George Hoffman issued his books from '^ Freyberg in Meissen." Freywalde, a town of Austrian Silesia, in the circle of Troppau. It had a press in 1663. Friburgum Helvetioritm^ Fribourg, a large and handsome town of Switzerland, capital of the Canton, and a Bishop's see. The art was established in this town about the year 1580. Abraham Gempertin pi'inted in 1592 ; and Stephen Philot in 1609. (Bodl.) N.B. The Bodleian Catalogue notes a work of /. Uhtadius as printed here in 1525. But that date and place refer only to the Preface. I think the book is a Strasburgh edition of 1526, the last leaf being deficient in the Bodleian copy. Frisdorf, a village of Phenish Prussia, near the town of Bonn. A book of the year 1694 bears this imprint, which perhaps may be fictitious, "^Frogmore Lodge. The Queen of George III. introduced a press previously to 1809. Miss Knight^'s Abridgement of the History of Spain is dated in that year; and others of her works in 1810, 1812, and 1817. (Martin.) See a list of the Frogmore Lodge books in the Appendix to Lowndes' Bibliographer's Manual. Frome, a large borough town of England, in the county of Somerset, situated on the river Frome. It carries on an extensive manufacture of woollen cloths. — 1796. A work by Sir R. Colt Hoare, Monastic Remains of Religious Houses, (Sfc, was printed here in 1821. (Martin.) FU— GA. 79 Fulda, a large town of Hesse Cassel, situated on the river Fulda; it is the capital of the Province, and a Bishop's see. Its fine Castle, formerly the palace of its " Prince-Bishops," now belongs to the Elector. Printing was carried on here in lo70, and to 1707 ; but then seems to have declined : for in 1723, I. T. Schannot calls his Vindemice Literarice, "specimen re- nascentis apud Fuldam typographise.'' Funciahim, Funchal, a large town, the capital of the Island of Madeira. Walsh, in his '• Notices of Brazil," vol. i. p. 66, makes the following statement : — " To keep alive the constitutional "spirit, the Revolutionists sent to England for a printing-press, "which was the first ever seen on the island: and the 1st of " July 1821 was made memorable by the publication of an in- ** sular newspaper, called 27ie Patriota Funchalense, a thing as " novel as it was extraordinary in the annals of Madeira." But this statement is not correct ; for we have a work by Antonius Macedo, bearing the imprint, '' Funcalii Maderse Insulse, " 1637." (Ternaux Compans.) Furda^ Fiirth [Furtum), q. v. in Series I. G. Gaboon, a Missionary Settlement on the West Coast of Africa, seated on the Gaboon river. It was established by the American Board of Foreign Missions in 1842. A press was introduced in 1843, or 1844, and has been actively employed. The Gospel of St. Matthew, in the Mpongice Lancjiiage, bears for imprint, '•' Press " of the A. B. C. F. M. (American Board of Commissioners for " Foreign Missions,) Gaboon, Western Africa." — 1850. Gaddah, Gadatch, a trading town of Russia, in the Govern- ment of Poltowa; capital of a Circle. A New Testament in the Esthonian dialect was printed here in 1816. Gadina, or Engadina. Books bearing this imprint were probably printed at Schiiol, q. v. Gadinum probably denotes some place within the Valley of the Fnpadine, in Switzerland, (which see in Series I.) L. Bailt/'s Practice of Piety, translated into the dialect of the Grisons, was printed here in 1771. (Bodleian.) Gaillon, a small town of France, in the Department of Eure, 80 GA. 13 miles N. E. of Evreux, It contained a magnificent Castle, belonging to the x\rchbishops of Rouen. — 1644. (Quaere if a false imprint ?) Gainsborough, a large busy town of England, in Lincolnshire, situated on the river Trent. It had a press in 1776. J. Mozley printed a, Prayer-hook in 1778. And The Gainsborough Spectator was begun in 1793, "^Galli Fanum {S.). It is most probable, that typography was introduced into the town in the year 1582, by a printer named Leonard Strub : but that it was not carried on in the Abbey till about 1640 or 1641; a press having been first set up, in St. John's Abbey, in 1640, and soon afterwards transferred to St. Gallen. M. Van Praet indeed cites a voluminous collection of Documents, filling twenty-six volumes in folio, and comprising 9942 articles, which he declares to be even rarer than most Manuscripts; seeing that, although printed, they never were made public. To this work he assigns the date of 1512; but it is likely that this is a misprint for 1712. Alexandreis, a Latin Poem, by Gualterus de Castelliona, is in the Bodleian, bearing '' In Monasterio S. Galli, formis ejusdem, 1659," 12^ ; also books of several later years. There are to be met with books of 1665, 1670, 1682, 1683, 1687, 1691, 1693, 1695, 1702, 1704, 1713, 1722, 1745, &c. Galceston, a post city and port of the United States of America, the capital of Galveston County, Texas. Dr. A. Smithes account of the Yellow Fever in Texas was printed here in 1840. In 1850 Galveston had four Newspapers, one of which was in the German language. Gahvay, a large and ancient seaport town on the West coast of Ireland, capital of the county. One of the Queens Colleges is situated at Galway. — 1806. Although this town does not compete in literary works with some others of the same size, yet it does not deserve the severe remarks, said to occur in " The Dublin Literary Gazette" of 1830, p. 478 : — " Galway is now " comparatively an obscure town. It has but little wealth ; but " little commercial spirit : no taste, and, we believe, no literature. " There is not a bookseller^s shop within it, or in the seven '^surrounding counties.^^ Nor is there any ground for the sweeping assertion made in "Le Bibliophile Beige," torn, iv. p. 43, that in the year 1846 there were in Ireland from sixty to eighty GA— GE. 81 towns, of not fewer tlian 2,500 inhabitants, without one book- seller's shop : and, still more remarkable, that there are six Counties^ in which there is not a single book-shop, nor a single reading-room. These are Donegal, Kildare, Leitrim, Queen's County, Westmeath, and Wicklow. The editor affirms that these statements are taken from English iS^ewspapers. But, that he is too little careful about the accuracy of the intelli- gence which he circulates, may be seen by a curious passage in another part of his work, where he reports some proceedings at Melbourne, and the goldfields of Ballarat^ under the head of America. Every person acquainted with the place knows how false these sweeping accusations are. I reprint them in order to give them a full denial, for the benefit of persons who have never visited those interesting parts of Ireland. Ganges, or Ganclie, a small town of the south of France, distant 25 miles from Montpelier. It is noticeable for a very remarkable Natural Grotto. — 1858. Gap, a considerable town of France, capital of the Depart- ment Hautes Alpes. It is a Bishop's see. Two centuries ago its inhabitants were four times more numerous than at the present day. — 1806. Gateshead, a large borough town of England, in the county of Durham, situated on the river Tyne, opposite to Newcastle, of which it may be called a suburb, and is engaged in the same iron and coal works. — 1824. A Newspaper, 2%e Gateshead Observer, began on Nov. 18, 1837. A book, entitled Astell's Newcastle Gratulations to King Charles II. on his happy Resto- ration, dated 1660, bears the imprint of Gateshead. (Bodleian.) Gateside, a large village of Scotland, in the county of Eenfrew, within 4 miles of Paisley. This little place appears to have possessed a press at an early period. A work of James Weld, printei here in 1654, is in the Bodleian Library. Geldern, a town of Rhenish Prussia, capital of a Circle in the Government of Dusseldorf. — 1771. Gend, quaere.

Georgetowfz, a handsome town of the United States, in the district of Columbia, forming a suburb of the city of Washington. It has a Roman Catholic University, and other literary Institu- tions. In 1817 William Duffy printed a Rhemish Testament here in 12o. Georgetown, a post village of the United States of America, the capital of Brown County, Ohio. J. Logan's Journal of a Journey through some parts of Ohio, under the quaint name of the Western Woodpecker, was printed here in 1818. Gergoma Vocontiorum appears to be some place near Cler- mont, in the province of Auvergne. Barbier (vol. iii. p. 574) mentions a book bearing this imprint, printed about 1666. ^Germantown. Tlie types for Sauer^s first German Bible, 1743, were imported from Europe. Of the last edition, 1776, the sheets of which were seized and made into cartridges (see Series I.), the editor with difficulty saved ten copies. GERMANUS (5.) Vercellensis. This is a Monastery at Ver- celli, a town of Piedmont. Brunet notices a Breviarium Cister- dense of the year 1484, printed here by Jacobinus de Suico (probably one of the monks), whose name also appears as the printer of another Vercelli book of 1485.

A learned Mussulman, named Syud Ahmed, established a pri- vate press in his own house here; from which he began in 1862 to publish a work called The Mahommedan Commentary on the GH-GI. 83 Bible, in English and the Oordoo dialect. As might be expected, a Mohammedan commentary on the Christian Scriptures has excited no little sensation throughout the East. An interesting notice of the work will be found in "The Friend of India." GMslain {St.), a small town of Belgium, in the province of Hainault. It took its name and rise from an ancient monastery dedicated to that saint. A printer named Victor da Papo published a Bevieio here in 1843, &c. Gibraltar, a strongly fortified rock and town of Spain, in the province of Andalusia, occupying a peninsula at the entrance of the Mediterranean. It has been in possession of Great Britain since 1704. The only specimen of its printing which I have seen is, A Catalogue of the Garrison Library, printed at the Library in 1793. Gien-sur-Loire, a small town of France, in the Department of toiret, 38 miles S.E. of Orleans. Q. Bouyere was a hookselle)" here (and perhaps a printer) so early as the year 15G3, (Brunet.) *Giessa. Fiirst (in Bibl. Jud. iii. p. 35) cites a work by G. Niarin, printed at Giessen so early as 1570. GiJo7i, a seaport town of Spain, on the Bay of Biscay, 19 miles N.E. of Oviedo. A work of Btistamente, dated 1773, bears this imprint ; but Brunet is of opinion that it was executed at Lima, in Peru. Gill, a small town of the United States of America, in Franklin County, Massachusetts. The following curious account of the works of a self-taught printer in this little place is extracted from " The Boston Traveller" of 1832. " We have "amused ourselves for a moment with several numbers of a " weekly print, of about two and a half inches in length by two "in breadth, exhibiting the usual features of an agreeable " miscellaneous sheet, and proposing to advertise for customers "at the very moderate rate of two lines for a cent. It is " appellated the Village Post, and is the production of a lad of " the name of Cannan, ten years of age, who resides in the Gill " in this State. But the typography of this petite Post is not "the most remarkable fruit of the boy's ingenuity. There is no "printing-office in the town where he lives, and we have it from "one who knows the young Franklin well, that the types, of "lead, and the press, of wood, are entirely of his own manu- " facture, and the chief tool used in their construction was a G 2 84 GI— GL. " common penknife. The press is large enough to receive an " ordinary duodecimo page. Besides his weekly issue^ little " Cannan has printed and published A Treatise on the Dog, '' twenty-seveu pages, ornamented with a large cut, which he "carved out without any instructions, with the same instrument " of all-work mentioned above." Gillingham, a large village of England, in Dorsetshire. E. Neave printed Wesfs Histoty of Cranbourn Chase, in 1816. Gill^, a village of Belgium,, in the province of Hainault, 3 miles N. E. of Oharleroi.— 1851. ^Oippesmcum. Brunet cites a work of Juvencus, a Spanish priest, entitled Historia Evangelica^ as an Ipswich book of 1534 ; and remarks, that I had mentioned no specimen earlier than 1548. But that book, a copy of which was in the Heber Library, only bears for colophon " Veneunt Gypsvici per Regi- " naldura Oliveriura." Now it is certain, that Cardinal Wolsey, for some years after the establishment of his school at Ipswich, got books for it printed at foreign presses. The Oliver family were settled as printers at Rouen, from the beginning of the XVIth century : and it is well known, that about that period books (especially Service-books) were constantly executed both at Paris and Rouen, for English booksellers and publishers. Oliver may have set up a temporary shop at Ipswich, on an invitation from the Cardinal. I have not seen the Juvencus, therefore can pronounce nothing certain about it. One of the early Ipswich books printed by Oswen, The Minde of Mr. Jhon Cahine, Szc, is in the Bodleian, and also in the Public Library at Cambridge. A specimen nearly forty years later is mentioned by Lowndes, under the heading Gempertinga; being an account of that cruel murderer, &c., translated from the Dutch (German ?) . This is dated 1584. The art continued in use at Ipswich. We find books of the dates 1636, 1717, 1720, 1727, &c. In 1735 John Bagnall was established as a printer. In 1739 The Ipswich Journal was commenced. Givet, a fortified town of France, in the Department of Ardennes, situated on both banks of the river Mouse. — 1816. ^Glascua. In Gaelic books we find Glasgow written Glaschow, or Andasco, Glaschu, Glaschui, Glassachu, Glasachu, Glasdhow, Glassachadh. The first Newspaper published here was The Glasgow Courant, which began on Nov. 14, 1715. GL-GO. 85 Glastonbury, an ancient market-town of England, in a very fertile vale in Somersetshire, chiefly known by the ruins of a magnificent Abbey. The Avalonian Guide was printed here in 1839. Glauclia, Glauchau, a considerable suburb of the town of Halle, in Prussian Saxony, celebrated in ancient times for its Salt Springs, and more recently for its University and other Literary Institutions.

Since that time the inhabitants have carried on much intercourse with Europeans and Ame- ricans, and have made great progress in civilization. Some interesting particulars of their literature are given in the following short notice of a work recently published in America, by Dr. R. Anderson, entitled " The Hawaiian Islands, their Progress and Condition under Missionary Labours :"" — " Forty years ago much interest was excited in the condition "of the Hawaiian Islands, owing to the melancholy death of "the young king and queen, then on a visit to this country. " This interest was heightened by the fact that they were the " representatives of a nation which had voluntarily abandoned its "idolatrous practices, destroyed its idols, and their temples, HA. 93 "given up all the religious peculiarities of its ancestors, and " fallen into a state of absolute atheism. The condition of this "people attracted great attention in religious circles, and a "body of missionaries was soon dispatched from the United " States to endeavour to implant Christianity in a soil appa- " rently so open to receive it. Their labours were crowned " with success, and up to this period this mission has been one "of the most successful on record. Dr. Rufus Anderson, who "has been for many years Foreign Secretary of the American "Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, was recently " deputed to visit these islands and report on the state of the "missions there — this volume gives the results of his inquiries. " But this is not all : it contains in a condensed form the sub- "stance of all the various histories of these islands, accurate "information as to their products, their social state, their " industry and commerce, their schools and literature. The " chapter devoted to the latter subjects is especially interesting. " From it we learn that no less than two hundred works have " been translated into the native language of Hawaii. Of the "entire Bible, called ' Baibala,' consisting of 1451 pages, there "have been circulated no less than 120,000 copies; of the " Hawaiian New Testament 60,000 copies ; and of the New " Testament in Hawaiian and English, consisting of 727 pages, "60,000 copies. Translations of Baxters Saints' Best, The '^Pilgrim's Progress, Clark's Scripture Promises, Keith on the " Prophecies ; of a large number of school books ; of books on " History, on Moral Science, on Political Economy, and even " on Military Tactics, are enumerated among the productions of " the native press. Three Neicspa'pers are regularly published " in the Islands : the Hohii PaJcifika, the Government paper, " the Nupepa Knokoa, and the Hoku Sea. Dr. Anderson does " not mention, in his chapter on the literature of the Islands, the " fact that the English Book of Common Prayer has also been " translated into Hawaiian, and has prefixed a preftice by the " late king, who thus takes his place among royal authoi's," Hawick, an ancient borough of Scotland, in the county of Roxburgh, long celebrated for its woollen manufactures.

Andrews relates the following curious anecdote respecting the periodical press of this town in the middle of the last century : " The " editor of The Leicester Journal (printed in London) in 1752 " was so embarrassed by the want of matter for his paper, that " he commenced reprinting The Bible verbatim, and had got as " far as the tenth chapter of Exodus before things temporal " furnished him with sufficient matter to fill up his Journal." (British Journalism.) In 1744 the trial of John Flawn, for forging a Will, was printed ; and a curious work on the Book of Ecclesiastes, hy the Rev. Stephen Greenaway , was executed (in 3 parts) in the year 1781. Leicester, a manufacturing town of the United States, in Wor- cester County, Massachusetts. It contains an Academy of re- pute. A printer, named Hori Brown, issued a New Testament here in 1820. ^LEIRIA. Ribeiro endeavours to shew that to Leira belongs the honour of having first introduced the art of printing into Portugal, and that very early ; but the point at present is wrapt up in too much obscurity to allow a positive decision. During the sixteenth century printing appears to have fallen into disuse at Leira, and only to have revived at a very recent period under Alfonso de Vasconcelles. ^Leith. Andrews, in his " British Journalism," supplies us with the following particulars of the early press of this town : " After the defeat of Dunbar, Cromwell sent his printer up to " Leith; and in Hort's Close, opposite the Tron Church, set up the " press from which was issued the first Newspaper ever printed " on the Scottish soil, the Mercurius Politicus, which first ap- " peared on October 26th, 1653."

The im- print ''Leta Pane" occurs in many Polish, Hungarian, and Bohe- mian books, from 1585 downwards. Quaere whether it denotes the place of printing, or the date, of those w^orks ? ^Leucopetra. The art of printing was exercised at Weissenfels in the middle of the sixteenth century. Feverlin cites a work by A. Pollicarius of the year 1560; and the Bodleian Library con- tains a tract, by Phil. Herodus, bearing " Leucopetrse excudebat Georgius Hantzsch, 1561." Leulumoenga, a Missionary Station in Upolu, one of the Samoan, or Navigator's Islands, lying in the South Pacific Ocean, northwards of the Friendly Isles. A press was intro- duced to Leulumoenga in May, 1839, by the London Missionary Society, from which almost all the books printed in the Samoan language have proceeded, though a few of the earlier ones were printed at Huahine. They comprise School-hooks, Hymns, Cate- chisms, Tracts, The Old and the New Testament, also a Periodical in the native tongue, and another in English. Many of these bear for imprint " Samoa '' (Grey.) ^Leutschovia. In Hungarian books Leutschau is written Locsen, or Lotsin. Daniel Schultz was a printer here in 1617.

In December, 1833, i\\e Mormons transferred a printing-establishment from the town of Independence to this place, and began to publish The Missourian Enquirer. Lichfield, a large and handsome city of England, in Stafford- shire. It is a bishop''s see, and contains a very fine Cathedral. A work on Cold-bathing, by Sir John Floyer, printed in 1 702, is the earliest Lichfield book which I have met with.

This place, which in the middle of the last century was compa- ratively insignificant, has now risen to a position of unexampled influence and importance. Its population amounts to about 400,000, Its public buildings are magnificent ; its docks won- derful; its commerce is perhaps unrivalled in the world. A Newspaper, The Liverpool Courant, was published here in 1713.. but the earliest Liverpool book which I have heard of is A Ser- mon, by the Bev. E. Alanson, printed in 1724, 4°. A. Sadler printed about 1740; Robert Williamson was a printer in 1751. On May 28th, 1756, he began to publish The Liverpool Advertiser. Ljubljanum probably is Lublin, (q. v. in Series I.)

Dr. William Reeves, vicar of Lusk, bears this imprint (but was really printed in Dubhn). — 1861. Lustleigh, a small village of England, in Devonshire. Typo- graphy became introduced into this retired spot under the fol- lowing remarkable circumstances. The Rev. William Davy^ B. A., of Balliol College^ Oxford, was led, by some remarks in the Christian Magazine for 1762, to undertake the compilation of a System of Divinity from the writings of the most approved authors, ancient and modern, for the benefit especially of young clergymen. That work he published in 6 vols., in 1786 : but meeting with few paying subscribers, and finding himself after its publication a hundred pounds in debt to his printer, he nobly resolved to redouble his exertions in order to clear off that load, and likewise to extend the work, which he judged likely to be eminently useful to the public. In order to effect this at the least outlay of money, he deter- mined to spare no personal exertion, but to become his own compositor and printer, as well as compiler. For this purpose he constructed a wooden press, and set it up in his parsonage- house at Lustleigh. He bought old types, cheap ink and paper, went manfully to work, took the composing-stick in hand, set up the sheets or half-sheets, and himself worked them off at the press. By dint of incessant labour he completed 40 copies of an 8° volume of 328 pages, besides 30 of preliminary matter, in the year 1795 ; and these, rudely stitched and covered by him- self, he forwarded to the Universities, the Bishops, and other persons of eminence, as specimens of his work and as a ground of soliciting subscriptions. I have a copy of this curious volume, purchased many years ago among the refuse books and papers of a former Vice-Chancellor of Oxford. It contains a Latin address to the Authorities of that University. I am not aware whether this is found in other copies. It is grievous to have to report, that the pious and laborious author met with little support from those in high stations to whom he had appealed. But not discouraged by their apathy, and fully believing that he was doing good service to the Church, ho persevered unaided, and, by unparalleled industry, at length furnished 14 copies only, (the whole number of his subscribers !) in 26 vols., small 8o. LU— LY. 129 To say nothing of its intrinsic value, this set of books is a great literary curiosity. One copy is in the Bodleian Library, and a second in that of Exeter Cathedral. I believe a third is in the Library of the London Institution, but do not know what has become of the other eleven. The following is a description of the specimen volume in my possession : — Title, "A System of Divinity, in a course of Sermons, &c. " Volume I. By the Eeverend William Davy, A.

MARTIN, a large village of Holland, in the province of Zeeland, situated on the MA. 135 Scheld, 3 leagues from the town of Tholen. It formerly pos- sessed a Collegiate Church and a Chapter. We learn from " Le Bibliophile Beige," that this place had the advantage of a press so early as the year 1478 ; at which time a printer named Pierre Werrecoren executed a Flemish version of the popular treatise entitled Consolatio Animarum. It is most likely that his press was in the College. A minute account of this rare and hitherto unknown book, with extracts and facsimiles, is given in tom. viii. pp.113— 124.

Melbourne., a recently established but rapidly increasing town, the capital of the British Colony of Victoria, in Australia. The town was founded in 1837. It is remarkable that a census taken in 1836 gave as the number of settlers in the district of Victoria only 142 males and 35 females, together 177; that of 1861 gave the numbers 328,651 and 211,671, amounting to 540,322. In 1852 Melbourne had four Newspapers. In 1861 it had 3 dailies, 31 weeklies, 10 fortnightlies, 1 quarterly, and 1 annual publication.

Memphis, a large post village of the United States of America, the capital of Shelby County^ Tennessee. It is beautifully situated on the eastern bank of the Mississippi, and is a rising place. It possesses a Medical College, which regularly jjublishes a Medical Becoi'der ; and seven Newspajjers were issued in 1850. The fol- lowing announcement in an American Newspaper of 1865 relates one of the many strange results of the late disastrous Civil War :— " Newspapers and Civil War. — A Confederate States nevvs- " paper, originally called the Memphis Appeal, has been re- " peatedly compelled, by the fortune of war, to change its " place of publication. On each occasion it has added the name " of the new place to its title. This, when last heard of, was " the Memi)his-Hermando -Grenada -Vickshurg - Jackson- Atlanta- " Griffin Appeal" Mendi, a Settlement of American Missionaries on the West Coast of Africa. The firstfruits of a press set up by them at this place in 1860 was No. I. of a monthly Newspaper in English, called The Early Dawn. The types were chiefly set, and the press-work performed, by two native boys, who had never seen a press before. (American Hist. Magazine, July, 1861.)

Mergentheim, a small but well-built town of Wiirtemberg, situated on the river Tauber. It possessed a printing-press in 1698. Merida, a large handsome city of Central America, the capital of the State of Yucatan. It was founded by the Spaniards in 1542 on the site of an ancient Indian town, and contains a very 138 ME. fine Cathedral. The only specimens of its typography which I have noticed are, a version of the Doctrina Christiana in the language of the natives, bearing " Merida da Yucatan, 1816/' and Fleur^'s Catechism in the same, dated 1822. (Bible Society.) Also A Treatise on the Sacrifice of the Mass, by Luis Lanzi, 1843. Meriden [West), a district of the post village of Meriden, in New Haven County, Connecticut, in the United States of Ame- rica. This little place has had its local historian : Perkins' Historical Sketches of Meriden was printed here in 1849- (Trub- ner.) Meridian, a post village of the United States of America, in Hinds County, Mississippi. A Newspaper, called The Daily Mississippian, is now published here, Merthyr-Tydvil, or Maergowmeon, not long ago a small vil- lage, but now a very large and populous town, of South Wales, in Glamorganshire. Its prosperity is owing to the very extensive Coal and Iron works established there. Evans' Welsh Dictio- nary was printed here in 1809; and a Welsh version of that strange work, The Book of Mormon, in 1852. ■^MET^. Panzer and other bibliographers had not reckoned Metz among the towns which distinguished themselves by the adoption of printing during the fifteenth century. But its claim to that honour has been successfully brought forward in a work entitled Essai sur la Typographie de Metz, 8°, Metz, 1828. From evidence here adduced, it is proved that the typo- graphy of Metz reaches at least so high as 1482, of which year we have remaining a specimen, entitled Ammoniciones ad spiritu- alem vitam utiles (being the first book of Thomas a Kempis). This bears for colophon, " Impressae in civitate Metensi per " fratrem Johannem Colini, ordinis fratrum Carmelitarum, et " Gerhardum de nova Civitate, a. d. 1482," 4°. Attached to the copy in the Public Library of Metz is another piece, of the same date, and printed with the same types, though it does not bear the name of Metz upon it. In 1498 and 1499 editions of the Horce B. M. V. were printed. The art continued to be practised here during the next century, but Panzer knew only seven books between 1501 (1511) and 1536. The account of Metz publications is brought down to 1837 in the " Essai" above mentioned. ME. 139 It appears that in 1575 the spirit of rehgious bigotry pre- vailed in that city to such a degree, that all the Protestant printers and booksellers were obliged to quit Metz, so that authoi's were compelled to make use of the presses of Paris, Rheims, &c., for a period of more than twenty years. In 1700 Metz had three printing establishments. In 1765 a Hebrew press was introduced, for the convenience of the Jews : this was again set up in 1813. In 1821 a Lithographic press was established in this city. Metalloburpum (?). I only know of this place and its press from the following announcement in a Bristol Catalogue of T. Kerslake : — " Penicvlvs Foriarvm Elenchi SCALIGERIANI pro Socie- " tate lesv, Maldonato, Delrio : Auct. Liberio Sanga Terino " Cantabro, [i. e. M. A. DELRIO] . Metallabvrgi JMattiacorvm " apud Ilceredes Matthianos, 1609."' "^Mexico. A work, earlier than any of those formerly men- tioned by me or other writers, appeared in the Catalogue of O. Rich, an American bookseller of London, in 1832; viz., F. Pedro de Corduha, Dottrina Christiana^ 4°, " Mexico, en casa de Juan Cromberger, 1544,^' 60 pp. Brunet states that this was composed by the first Bishop of Mexico, John Ciimarragu. In the same Catalogue was another early Mexican book, being The Second Collection of Laics for Mexico (the ^rs^ was in 1549), dated 1563. More minute inquiries into the history of Mexican typography are daily bringing more ancient specimens to light. Brunet adduces a work, entitled Relacion d' espdtable terremoto q agora nuevamente ha acontocido an la cibdad d Guatemala, which bears for imprint, " Fue impressada en la gra ciudad d Mexico en casa de Jua Cromberger aiio d mill y quinietos y qua- reta y uno.'' This is in small quarto. And a still earlier book was issued by the same printer, viz., Manuel de Adidtos, dated December 13th, 1540. But of this last only a single fragment is now known to exist, consisting of the last four leaves. N.B. — In some Spanish books Mexico is printed 3Iejico, which is understood to mean " The city of the god of war" (of the Aztecs) . Mezibus, or Mietziboz, Medjiboj, a town of Russia, in the government of Podolsk, situated on the river Bug ; or, perhaps. 140 ME— MI. Medzibor, a small town of Prussia, in the government of Breslau. The Jews had a Synagogue in this town, and a press has been established since 1760. Mezieres, a fortified town of France, capital of the Depart- ment of Ardennes, situated on the river Meuse. — 1800. Miaburg (?). Books of the years 1741 and 1791 appear with this imprint. (Szecheny Cat.) MiaJco, M'jako, or Miyako, an exceedingly large and im- portant city of Japan, in the island of Niphon ; second only to Yedo in size and population. It is the residence of the Mikado, the Spiritual Emperor ; is the Ecclesiastical capital of the whole empire, and the chief seat of learning, science, and arts. It is considered to be a place of the highest sanctity. I have not met with any history of the typography of Japan. Klaproth, in his " Hist. Mythol. des Japonois," mentions a work, in mixed letters, Chinese and Japanese, printed at Miako in 1703. For some modern printing, see " Journal de la Litterature etrangere," 1828, p. 152. Middleburg, a township and post village of the United States of America, the capital of Addison County, Vermont. It possesses a large Theological College, founded in 1800. S. W.

The earliest of its books which I have met with is Humphrey's Life of General Putnam, printed in 1794. W. H. Stiles was a printer in 1832. In 1850 three Newspapers were published at Middletown. ^Middlehill, the country seat of Sir Thomas Phillipps, Bart., in Worcestershire. A very full catalogue and description of the numerous works printed here by its owner will be found in Bohn's edition of " Lowndes' Bibliographer's Manual," pp. 1856 — 1858, and in the Appendix, pp. 225 — 237. Those lists contain the astonishing number of 227 articles put forth by that inde- fatigable collector and literary antiquary. Milborne Port, a small town of England, in the county of Somerset. The only specimen of its typography which I have heard of is A Genealogical Account of the Family of Lutrell, pri- vately printed here in 1774. (Martin.)

Milton Ernis, a small village of England, in Bedfordshire, within a few miles of the town of Bedford. I do not know what caused a printing-press to be set up in this retired spot in the early part of the last century ; but I have seen a little volume, entitled Evangelical Sanctijication truly stated, by Jo. Hunt., Minister of the Gospel at Newport Pagnell; printed at Milton Ej'nis, near Bedford, by If. Robinson, 1719, 12°. A copy was in the library of the late Mr. Jolly, and afterwards in that of Dr. Bliss. 3Iihoaickie, a large and important town or city of the United States of America, capital of Milwawkie County, Wisconsin.

In 1846 it was calculated that within this extensive " territory there were not three hundred volumes of books. " The San Francisco Evening Bulletin of June 6th [1865], in an " exceedingly interesting article upon ' Literature and the Book- " trade in San Francisco,' states that the English books now in " circulation in the State number at least two millions. The " writer gives a list of nine Public Libraries possessing 50,000 " volumes, and refers to the large number of small Libraries " scattered throughout the State."

Montrose, a large borough and seaport town of Scotland, in the county of Forfar. It is a flourishing place ; possesses edu- cational establishments of great eminence ; has an excellent harbour, and considerable trade. I have noticed no Montrose book earlier than one of 1 784, the printer of which was George Johnston. Montrouge {Petit), a small town of France, nearly adjoining the S.W. extremity of Paris. — 1844. *3Io7itroiilles. An earlier work from this town than is noticed in Series I. is, An Account of a Pilgrimage to the Content of S''* Anna, near Aire. The author is Bernarclus de Spiritu Sancto, a Carmelite monk, and the printer Nicolas du Brayxt. The book is in the J3reton language. It bears no date, but the " Approbations^^ prefixed to it are of the year 1656. A copy is in the Bodleian Library. Brunet adduces the Doctrina Christiana of Jo. Ledesma, printed in the Breton dialect by George Allienne, in 1622. Modern Breton books, 1810, 1820, *&c., &c., bear the same imprint. Monyorohoerochen is the local name of Eberau, a small town of Hungary, 16 miles W. of Eisenburg.

A Historical Dictionary of Writers of the Greek Church, published (alas ! in Russian only) by Eugenius, 3Ietropolitan of Kiew (2 vols., 8°, Petershurgh, 1827), is said to contain a full account of Russian typography, with its varying fortunes down to the present day ; U(i MO— xMU. comprising notices of all the printing establishments in the empire, and a minute description of the famed Apostol of 1564, the firstfruits of the art in Russia. The •' Revue Encyclope- dique" for October, 1828, stated that this particular portion of the comprehensive work of Bishop Eugenius has been translated into French, and would be found in the " Bulletin du Nord " for May, 1828. Mounpeie probably denotes Montpelier. A book, Uvras Patoi- sas de 31. Favre, 1815, bears the imprint "A Mounpeie.^^ Mount Coke, in the Kafir language Emkangiso, a Missionary Settlement in British Kaffraria, South Africa, The Wesleyan Missionaries possessed a press here in 1854, and have published several Elementary hooks, Calechisms, Hymn-hooks, Sfc, in the Kafir language, in that and the following years.

It is a stirring and thriving place, having manufactures for spinning and weaving both cotton and wool, a brass and iron foundry, a distillery, &c. The Society of Friends are numerous here : they have a House of Worship, and a School, founded in 1788. Joshua Jacob, of Waterford, who founded what has been called the sect of The White Quakers., resided here, and published a very singular work, entitled Some Account of the Progress of the Truth as it is in Jesus: " INIountmelick, printed by Thomas Cleary, 1843-44."" It comprises 32 parts, of about 72 pages each, forming four volumes in octavo, and consists of narratives, ejaculations, prayers, hymns, letters, &c., &c., by him and some of his female followers, especially his sisters Abigail Beale and Mary Pim ; copiously interspersed with complaints and abuse of other mem- bers of his family, and of the Society of Friends in general, who had excluded him from their comnuinity. The book itself is a very creditable production of a provincial press. Muhleim, a small town of the Prussian States, on the Rhine, very near Cologne. Caspar Proper was its printer in 1730. *Mulhimum, Mulhusa, or Mylcecium. Feverlin adduces a book printed here so early as 1533. (ii. p. 64.)

A Histori/ of the Counts of Hapsburg (its founders), by Dominic Tsehudi, one of the Abbats, was printed in this Abbey in 1702, " Typis vetcribus principalis Monasterii Murensis, per Jo. Car. Roos." (Szecheny.) There is a work entitled Annales Monasterii Murensis, 4", 1627; but it gives no account whatever of this press, which would seem, from the expression " typis veteribus," to have been established there at a much earlier period, but disused. *3Iussipontmn. Typography had been established at Pont-a- Mousson several years earlier than the time named in Series I. In 1582 Edmund Campian's Decern Rationes was executed by Martinus Mercator, "^ Printer to the Duke of Loi-raine." In the next year he printed The Statutes of the University, which had been founded by Duke Charles III. in 1572; and three or four other works before the close of that century. The first piece named here is not noticed by Beaupre in his " History of the Typography of Lorraine ;" but I have seen a copy. *Mi/thig. This Welsh name of Shreivshiry appears in books printed there by Thomas Jones in 1704, &c., &c. N. Nagaruawahia, a Settlement of the Maori natives in the Northern Island of New Zealand. It appears that the native inhabitants have not been slow to avail themselves of the advantages of printing, recently intro- duced by Europeans. The following extract of a letter from New Zealand was copied into a London Newspaper in 1SC2 : — " The Maori King, Catalan, has just sent forth to the world " the first number of his official ' Gazette,' in which is printed " the following proclamation : — " (Literal translation.) " ' The press which has arrived at Nagarumcahia, from it " proceeds the newspapers, exceedingly powerful to settle "matters. When it comes to you, the price is threepence; " pay it if you approve. The good of this press is to carry our " intentions to the tribes of the world ; because steadfastly fixed " are the words of the beginning — ' Faith, love, joy.' " L 2 148 NA. ^'Nagasal'i. The '* Bibliotheca Lusitana" cites a Nagasaki book of the year 1510. But Ribeiro shews that this was a misprint for 1610. Permission having recently been given to Europeans to reside in Japan, a Neicspaper in English was established here in 1861. It was called The Nagasalci Shipping List and Advertiser. It was published twice a week. NagT/ Enyed is the Hungarian name of Siraslurg, a town of Transylvania^ in the county of Lower Weissenburg. This im- print appears in books. NagT/ Istvan, a large village of Hungary, in the county of Pesth. It possessed a press in 1788. Nagi/-Szigusegnal, quaere if Szigeth, or Nagy Szigeth^ a small town of Hungary ? ^Nagy Szomhar. It is not unlikely that the books bearing this imprint were executed at Tyrnau, of which Nagy Szombar is the Hungarian name. *Namurcit]n. Printing was carried on so early as 1617, at which time Henry Furlet styles himself " Typographus juratus." There was a press in the Convent of the Recollect Friars, at which was printed A History of 104 Christians martyred in Japan. ^Nanceium,. Though doubts were expressed as to the early printing at Nancy (see Series I.), the author of " Essai sur la Typographic de ]\Iets''"' is of opinion that the Chronicle of S. Chamjner, of 1510, is a genuine specimen ; as also the Medici- nale Belhim inter Aristotelem et Galenum, 1511, by the same author. From 1560 to 1572 the press appears to have been entirely in the hands of the Duke of Lorraine, for the purposes of Government. In 1572 was printed Le Parnasse des Poetes Franc. Modernes. Nangeid, one of the Loyalty Islands, lying in the South Pa- cific Ocean, in latitude 21°.

The M'jr- 150 N'D— NE. mons, or " Latter-day Saints," established themselves here in the year 1839; and, having erected a printing-press, published two Newspapers, 27ie Times and Seasons, and The Nauvoo Neighbour, Qd\ie& by John Taylor, one of the "Twelve Apostles" of their prophet, Joseph Smith. An opposite faction in the town then started a rival paper, The Nauvoo Expositor, which gave such offence to the Mormons, that they seized and de- stroyed the press and its materials. This led to serious distur- bance, and to the arrest and subsequent murder of Joseph Smith and his brother, and eventually to the expulsion of the Mormon community from the State of Illinois. They abandoned Nauvoo in the year 1846, and moved from one place to another until they finally settled in the Utah Territory, near the Rocky Mountains, and there founded "The Great Salt Lake City" in the year 1849.

Norcopia, Norhy oping, or Nordkoping, a large handsome town of Sweden, beautifully situated at the mouth of the river Motala Elf, in a gulf of the Baltic.

A Catechism, by J. Emdenus, was printed at Nordhausen in 1650. (Feverlin.) 158 NO. *Nordomcum. To the three interesting and very rare speci- mens of the early Norwich press, I am now enabled to add some notice of three others, which have been brought to light since the publication of my First Series. The first is A Confesdon of Faith, hy the Ministers of the Church of Jesus Christ in Switzerland and in France ; " Nord- witz, by Antonium Solemne, 1568/^ small 8". (foil. 110, and re- gister 6 leaves unnumbered.) The second is A History of Wars, Troubles, and Uproars in the ^Netherlands, (Sfc, with the State of Beligion in the year 1580; " Gedrukt tot Noortwitz (1580), na de copie van Basel, Anno 1579," small 8°. (foil. 262, register foil. 2.) For the notice of these two I am indebted to the kindness of Mr. Boone, bookseller of New Bond Street, London. The second is now in the Bodleian Library. The third is the work of Antonius CoT'ratius, entitled Divi- norum Operum Tabula ; Tableau de Vceuvre de Uieii ; which he is said to have printed in Latin, French, Dutch, and English, about the year 1569 or 1570. Archbishop Grindal, in a letter to Secretary Cecil, dated 1569, states that the Fiench version was printed at Norwich at that time. It is not known how soon the four translations were published. The work was ob- jected to by some Divines, and perhaps was early withdrawn from circulation. It is now so rare, that no copy of the Dutch or English versions is known, and of the French and Latin only a single one has api3eared. This was in possession of Mr. C. J. Stewart, bookseller, of King William Street, London, and is de- scribed in his " Third Supplement to Catalogue of Books of the seventeenth and later centuries,^' p. 33. — 1863. In the next century we hear but little of the Norwich press. One specimen appeared in the Sale Catalogue of J. Hill in 1863, viz., Tarrascon, a work in Spanish, by E. Texeda, dated 1633.

Olexnitz is probably Olesno, (or Rosenberg^) a small town of Prussia, in Silesia, 24 miles N.

Besides the forenamed eight specimens, which are all which have been hitherto described by bibliographers, I have now to adduce three other pieces, which I have no doubt proceeded from the Oxford press, although they do not bear the name either of place or printer. The first of these is a small work, or part of a work, beginning on signature a, without a title, Vul- (/aria quedam abs Terencio in Anglicd linguam traducta. 166 OX.

For three centuries this simple " apparatus had been inhibited in Brazil from its supposed " dangerous effects : and it was not till the year 1808 that this " great country was permitted to print (I am told) a leaf of a " book. The greatest boon the good Prince Regent thought he " could confer on his new people was, the establishing this " means of enlightening them on their best interests as con- " nected with arts, sciences, agriculture, manufactures, and all " the benefits he hoped to confer on them. The day therefore *'* on which he entered his 41st year, he celebrated by conferring " this boon, and established a Royal Printing-office, and pub- " lished a Gazette for the first time in Brazil."

From its position on the borders of the two kingdoms, Shrewsbury became a place of great importance in the frequent wars between England and Wales. Thomas Jones was established as a printer in 1704, and Thomas Gittens in 198 SA. 1705. Among the early Shrewsbury books are A Sermon hy William PoivelL Dean of St. Asaph, 1716, 8° ; J.

It was founded, about 8 miles from the Great Salt Lake, in July, 1847, by a colony of Mormons who had been expelled from Nauvoo, in the State of Illinois. The emigrants carried with them the presses which they had employed in their previous settlements, and quickly brought them into use in Utah. A Newspaper, called TJie Deseret Neivs, which was the official organ of their Governor, Brigham Young, began to be published at Salt Lake City on June 15th, 1850.

A copy of this is in the Bodleian. (It would seem, from Payne and Fosses Catalogue for 1828, that Brahe had previously published an account of that Comet, viz. in 1577.) Probably the latest of these curious and rare spe- cimens of the private press of Uranienberg is InstauratcB Astro- nomicB Progymnasmata, 4°, bearing "-Typis inchoata Uranibergi Daniae, absoluta Pragae Bohemise, 1602."

Having been driven out of Nauvoo, they travelled westwards more than twelve hundred miles, and taking refuge in Utah began to build a town, to which they gave the name of Great Salt Lake City. It appears that they carried with them the printing presses, &c. which they had formerly employed at Nauvoo and other places in the United States, and soon began to set them to work in their new abode. See further notices under Salt Lake City. Utibiiigitm, Vogt, in his " Catal. Libr.

" will be candid enough to excuse many errors in the following '' work, as it issues from his private press, and is the first of his " Typographical Attempts." The volume contains fourteen Ser- mons. It has no Dedication, Introduction, or Preface. The type is large and distinct, the paper strong and good, and the setting-up proves it to be the work of an experienced hand. But as the author's press could only print four pages in octavo, the signatures extend to z z z z, although the pages are only 364. I am not aware whether Mr. Burrough put forth any other specimens of his press. (H. C.) Wisby, a small ancient town of Sweden, the capital of East Gothland, formerly a member of the Hanseatic League.

In one or two Latiti books this town is called Yermuiha. Yarmouth (South), a small seaport and borough town of England, in the Isle of Wight.— 1808. Yass, a town of New South Wales, situated in a valley of the same name, in the counties of King and Murray, separated by the river Yass, which flows through the middle of the town.

The Church Missionary Society and the Society for Propagation of the Gospel have exerted them- selves in providing religious instruction for the natives ; The Gospel of St. John., translated into the language of the Cree In- dians, by Wesleyan Missionaries, was printed at this remote spot in 1852. (Bible Soc.) Youghal, a seaport and borough town of Ireland, in the county of Cork, lying at the mouth of the river Blackwater. It has a fine Collegiate Church, in which is a handsome monument erected by the first Earl of Cork, father of the illustrious Robert Boyle. There is here an ancient house, formerly belonging to Sir Walter Ralegh ; in the garden of which, potatoes, introduced by him from America, were first planted in Ireland. So far as is now known, a printer named Cox first settled at Youghal in or about the year 1770. He was succeeded by Thomas Lord (qusero, from Cork ?), who compiled and published the first hook known to have been printed in this town, namely, A History/ of the Town of Youghal, 1784, 12". This little volume, of no great merit as a composition, has become very scarce. Shortly after its publication, Lord quitted Youghal, and went to reside at Roscrea ; and for many years Youghal was left without a printer. In 1824 John Wesley Lindsay (who had served his time as an apprentice at Fermoy), commenced the business of a printer here, in a very humble way ; having purchased at Cork an old wooden press, which had formerly belonged to James Blow, a well-known printer of Belfast in 1696, and is believed to have been the very press at which the first Bible printed in Ireland (8", Belfast, 1704) was struck oif. Blow sold it to a Cork printer, who used it in publishing a small Newspaper, and in his office it remained until Lindsay purchased it in 1824. It is still in being. Lindsay^s first printed booh was A Funeral Sermon, by the Ret. Henry Rogers, 8'% 1827. The business is now carried on most creditably by Mr. John Lindsay, son of the pre- ceding. (Rev. S. Hayman, Youghal.) Yvetot, an ancient town of France, in the Department of Seine Inferieure, 20 miles S.W. of Rouen.— 1762. z. Zablagen. The only information which I possess respecting ZA. 307 the typography of this place is derived from the following an- nouncement in The Dublin Express Newspaper of November 25, 1858:— "A Silent Printing-Office. — Tn the town of Zablagen, Wir- *' temberg, there has been lately opened a new printing establish- " ment, by M. Theodore Helgerad. All the compositors and " pressmen are deaf and dumb, to the number of 160. Eleven '' of the former are women. They have all been educated, at " Mr. Helgerad's own cost, to the employment they are now " engaged in. The king has conferred on him a large gold meda^ <' for this great reclamation from the social waste. •'^ ZaUiitow, a small town of Russian Lithuania. Bandke affirms that it possessed a printing-office in 1650. Zacatecas, a large and populous town of Mexico, capital of a Department.

Zalt-Bommel, or simply Bommel (see Bomelia, p. 25), a town of Holland, in the Province of Guelderland, 6 miles from Nime- guen. I ought not to omit mentioning that it is stated in ''Bibliophile Beige ^^ that Rodolphe Loeff's, a printer of Louvain in the XVth century, executed here four books, in or about the year 1491. But their names are not mentioned ; and it appears very doubtful whether they were printed at Bommel or at Lou- vain. I have not observed any Bommel book earlier than 1806. Zanzibar, a large and populous town, the chief of an island of the same name, lying off the Eastern coast of Africa, in latitude 6.10 S. It is the residence of the Sultan of Muscat, has a very mixed population, and is a place of considerable trade. Some British Missionaries have obtained a footing here, and have introduced the press as a powerful auxiliary to their Chris- tian labours. Dr. Tozer, the British Missionary Bishop of Cen- tral Africa, writing from Zanzibar on May 31, 1865, says, — "I X 2 308 ZA— ZO.

Besides the Cathedral, the town contains seven or eight other places of Public Worship : and it possesses Schools of a high character. The old Castle adjoins the town, and forms a conspicuous feature.

TO THE EDITOR OF ''THE CAMBRIAN." Sir, — A subject which has on several occasions in- tei'estecl me has again been revived by a question from a stui'.ent in the ISritish Museum: — "When was thefirst Printing Press worked in Swansea. Was it earlier tlian 1811— and by whom?" For the honour of my Town, I felt a flush glow upon me ! Why, of course, I said ; for The Cambrian was printed and published here in 1804, of which I obtained not only a complete series for the Royal Institution Library, but I also jiossess an impression of the prospec- tus, printed (curiously enough), by one J. Timbs, of Worcester. But putting this digression aside, will yo\ir readers kindly assist me in answering the question : — When was printing ^/j?si executed in Swansea, and by ivhom '! My references on this jjoint are as follows : — T. Goodere 1784. J. WiUiams 1794. D. Evans 1794. Voss and Morris 1798. W. Turton, M.D 1803. T.Jenkins 1804. J. Voss 1806.

Etc., Etc. I may remark that these dates can all be verified in the Collection of Works relating to Wales at the Institution. Many of the earlier dates are from the titles of tiade rules and such like publications, but it is a ciirious fact that no oai'lier specimen of dated Swansea printing was found by the late Mr. Dillwyn or myself, when we examined the mass of Old Corpora- tion papers in 1840. Old broadsides and ])amphlets must often turn up at sales and book-shops, and persons engaged in them would add an obligation if they would kindly supply such to Yours obediently, Geo.
