the following volumes:

rechesses d'art de la France
Second, Collections de documents
inedite stir l'historie de France.
Third, Catalogue general des
livres imprimes de la Bibliotheque
Nationale.
The first work will interest lovers
of art, and twenty volumes of the

The third set comprises one of
the great bibliographical undertak
