C. * * * * * MISCELLANEOUS. NOTES ON BOOKS, CATALOGUES, SALES, ETC. The Devices and Mottoes of the later Middle Ages (_Die Devisen und Motto des Späteren Mittelalters, von J.V. Radowitz_), just imported by Messrs. Williams and Norgate, is one of those little volumes which such of our readers as are interested in the subject to which it relates should make a note of. They will, in addition to many novel instances of Devices, Mottoes, Emblems, &c., find much curious learning upon the subjects, and many useful bibliographical references. Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson still sell, on Saturday next, the very beautiful collection of Oriental Manuscripts of the late Dr. Scott; on Monday and Tuesday, his Medical Library; on Wednesday, his valuable Collection of Music; and on Thursday, his Philosophical and Mathematical Instruments, Fire-arms, and other miscellaneous objects of interest. |
