able review, the date of which I neglected {56} to make at the time,
appeared in the _Times_ newspaper, of the 2nd edition of Cottle's _Life of Coleridge_. With many good wishes for the success of your register, I remain, &c. JOHN MILAND. * * * * * DIBDIN'S TYPOGRAPHICAL ANTIQUITIES. Sir,--I am very glad to have elicited the information contained in your number just published respecting the copy of Borde's work in the Chetham Library. As I have a great respect for Mr. Ames, I must remark that he had no share in the blunder, and whenever a new edition of his work is undertaken, it will be well to look rather curiously into the enlargements of Dibdin. In the mean time this information naturally leads to another Query--or rather, to more than one--namely, "_Had_ Mr. Bindley's copy this unique imprint? and what became of it at the sale of his books? or is it only one of the imaginary editions which give bibliographers so much trouble?" Perhaps some one of your correspondents may be able to give information. Yours, &c. S.R. MAITLAND. |
