Monday Evening, December 2d, beginning at 7.30 o'clock, Tuesday Evening, December 3d, beginning at 7.30 o'clock, THE Volumes selected for description in this portion of the McKee collection have been strictly limited to those written by Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century Authors, though in a few cases the works bear a later date. Much that might have been said, bibliographically, in describing the books in this catalogue remains unsaid, because unnecessary. Any attempt to give such information to those who measure up to the purchase of Early English Literature, would be like "carrying coals to Newcastle." In the interest of intending purchasers unable to make personal inspection of the volumes, extraordinary care has been exercised in the descriptions of the works now offered for sale. In many cases detailed mention has been made of trifling defects which in previous descriptions of the identical copies were not deemed of sufficient importance to notice. It is fitting that a special acknowledgment should be made of the valuable aid afforded by the use of the "Catalogue of Original and Early Editions of some of the Poetical and Prose Works of English Writers from Langland to Wither," issued by the Grolier Club. It is a question whether any known work, on strictly bibliographical lines, can be more absolutely depended upon. 2712 Early English Literature.
