Choice set of this magnificent series of French
Government charts. The plates average 32 X 22,
but many are much larger. While numbers of
them relate to the discoveries in the South Seas,
Indian Ocean, etc., special attention is directed
to the extraordinary completeness of the AMERICAN
series. Each plate is dated and many have been
revised down to the time of the Independence of
the English colonies.

An enumeration of the American plates would take
up too much room, we reckon them to be thirty-
seven, anyway. The engraving is most beautiful
and the ornaments in the finest style of French
Art, being done by Choffard and others. Inset
maps and plans are of frequent occurrence. The
Atlantic States maps are dated 1778, '80, '84.
No collection of American charts can be complete
without these French ones, they are undoubtedly
the best existing, as to the Canadian coasts. It is
only by securing a complete copy that the whole set,
with the "Remarques" (or letterpress), can be
obtained. See note to the "Republican Issue,"
1788-90. [see Nos. 186-7]

This is an early copy, with brilliant impressions of the engravings.

The St. Laurence charts are 1754; the New Found Land 1764; coasts of New England and the U.S. 1757 (including plan of Boston). See note to following copy. Hydrographie Francoise par Bellin, Vol II only, about sixty plates INCLUDING THE AMERICAN SERIES. Paris (1788-90)

*Immense 4°, French calf, with "SERVICE DES VAISSEAUX DE LA REPUBLIQUE FRANCOISE" in gold on side, 20.00 [187 This is the early Republican issue. The American maps are 3 or 4 more. The notable differences are-St. Laurence charts newly arranged and dated 1784; New Found Land charts also re-arranged and dated 1784. The one map of Coasts of New

England, etc., of the old issue is in this two fine new maps, coming farther south, and dated 1778-80; Dominica is 1787.

[ocr errors]

There are two maps in this copy not in either of the others, viz: "Gonave" (an Island off Port-auPrince), 1788, and a fine map of Nova Scotia 1779. The beautiful and complete morocco set (No. 182) of the Hydrographie" agrees mainly, as to its American portion, with this copy, but in addition to the new North American charts it has a copy of the old 1757 plate (including the "PLAN DE BASTON [sic]") bound

in it.

MARK BASKETT'S EDITIONS OF THE HOLY Bible. Three different impressions, 1762, 1763, and 1765

#3 vols, 4°, calf, 80.00

[210 "MARK BASKETT" is the printer one of whose quarto Bibles served as the exemplar used by Kneeland and Green of Boston for their issue of the first American-English Bible; the story is told by Isaiah Thomas and is well known. This Bible has never been identified, or, as usually put, "no copy is known to exist;" but who has sought for it, or collected the various Mark Baskett imprints? In the latest printed account of the Basketts "1761 and 1763" are given as the 4° dates-but here are two more, 1762 and 1765. There is a twelvemo of 1767, for which an eminent American agency asked 50.00 fifteen years ago, laying stress on the imprint after Mark's name "and by the Assigns of Robert Baskett" (as being an error for "Barker"): one of the Bibles offered above has this additional imprint, and it is a quarto, the size stated by Thomas, Mark Baskett's imprint is not common in England, there was no specimen of it in the "Caxton" exhibition-yet the copy of the scriptures upon which George Washington took the oath as first president (30 April 1789) was a quarto MARK BASKETT. That either of these Bibles was printed in America we do not state, but if THE Bible is to be found, a collection of Mark Baskett's imprints must be made, and the purchase of this lot is a good start.
