1606 SCOTLAND:--A VERY CURIOUS AND RARE SERIES OF LATIN POEMS (BY
ALEXANDER JULIUS) on the Marriage or Deaths of some Scottish Nobles, as
the Marchioness of Huntley, _Edin._ 1607--Countess of Argyle, _ib._
1607--Earl Keith, _ib._ 1609--Earl of Montrose, _ib._ 1609--Prince
Henry, _ib._ 1612--Fredericke Prince Palatine, _ib._ 1614--Earl of
Lothian; with the author's Sylvarum liber, 1614

Of these rare poetical pieces four are unnoticed by Lowndes; five of
them are published anonymously; but their similarity to those with an
author's name testifies the source from which the others emanated.

The collection contains a good deal of early Dutch poetry, well
deserving attention for the lights which we are sure may be thrown from
it upon our own early national literature.

Miller, of 43. Chandos Street, has issued his December Catalogue,
comprising, among other articles, "Books on Freemasonry, Poetry, and he
Drama, Histories of Ireland and Irish Antiquities," which he states to
be "mostly in excellent condition and good binding," and, he might have
added, "at reasonable prices."
