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." * * * * * {95} BOOKS AND ODD VOLUMES WANTED TO PURCHASE.
