Not illustrated. 1902 Excerpt: ... regards the binding, does it not seem a pity that the latest works of scientific interest should be really out of reach of members while the matter is fresh and of the greatest use? Above 300 volumes have already been made up, and many more will be ready in a very short time.

J. Dillenii. 1811. With copper-plate engravings. 4. Harmonicon Celeste. An Absolute and entire piece of Astronomic By Vincent Wing. London, 1651. 5.

Enlarged and Amended by Thos. Johnson. London, 1636. 7. Hakluyt's Voyages (great part in black letter). Lon don, 1589. 8. Biblia Sacra. A. Theodore Beza. Amsteluedami, 1551. 9. Italian Grammar. 1639. 10. Ovid. Bound in wooden hoards. 1531. Many of these are in poor condition, and it would be to the credit of the society if they could be put in a better state.
