_Ancient Catalogue of Books._--A few days since I made the acquisition
of a curious old catalogue {200} of books, interleaved, and containing
about 200 pages, with the following title:

"Catalogus Variorum, in quavis Facultate et materia Librorum
incompactum Officinæ Joannis Maire, quorum Auctio publicè
habebitur in ædibus Joannis Maire, hora octavâ matutinâ et
secundâ postmeridiana ad diem ----, 1661. Lugduni Batavorum, ex
Typographia Nicolai Herculis, 1661."

On the back is the following notice to "buyers:"

"Monitos volumus Emptores, hosce Libros eâ vendi conditione, ut
cum eorum traditione pretium præsenti pecuniâ persolvatur. Et si
quis Libros à se emptos intra sex septimanarum spatium, à primà
Auctionis die numerandum, à Bibliopola non exegerit, eos cum
emptoris prioris damno aliis vendere integrum erit ac licitum.

"Monentur etiam et rogantur, ut antè meridiem ad horæ octavæ,
post meridiem vero ad secundæ punctum præsentes sese sistere
dignentur."

Can any of your readers give me particulars about this John Maire?
