most admirably executed. Great delicacy and truth of drawing, as well
as elegance of grouping, are frequently discernible in them; and
throughout the whole of the compositions there is much of the air of
_Parmegiano's_ pencil; especially in the females. Sadeler makes
his monks and abbots quite _gentlemen_ in their figures and
deportment; and some of his miracles are described with great
singularity and force of effect.

[35] Such is ZAPF'S work, entitled _Annales Typographiæ Augustanæ_,
1778; 4to. republished with copious additions in 1786, two volumes,
4to. The text of the latter is (unfortunately, for the unlearned)
printed in the German language.

[39] [The first Horace, the Cicero Epist. ad Familiares, 1469, the Latin
Bible by Frisner and Sensenschmidt, 1475 and the Polish Bible of 1563,
(all so warmly and so justly eulogised in the above pages) have been
reposing these last ten years in the library of Earl Spencer: and
magnificent and matchless as is that library, it contains no FINER
volumes than the four preceding. I conclude this detail by subjoining
the Autographs of the two BIBLIOGRAPHICAL WORTHIES who have cut such a
conspicuous figure in the scene above described. The latter is now NO
MORE.]
