A QUAINT volume, yellowed with age and of great rarity, giving impressions of New England as it was 300 years ago, in the early days of the Pilgrims, has been discovered in the library of the American Antiquarian Society in Worcester, Mass. The volume, which carries the title of "New England Rarities Discovered," was printed in 1672, and was written by John Josselyn of Kent, England, one of the earliest arrivals in New England. The old volume bears the imprint of the Green Dragon, in St. Paul's Churchyard, London. In it the author, as the title has it, tells of the "birds, beasts, fishes, serpents, and plants of that country, together with the physical and chirugical remedies which the natives constantly use to cure their distempers, wounds and sores." Josselyn, a son of Sir Thomas Josselyn, an aristocrat 66 MEREDITHIANA, Being a Supple of Kent, visited New England in 1630, staying with his brother a year in Boston.

PROFESSOR THEODORE JONES, director of the director of the Gould Memorial Library at New York University, has just returned from Europe where he has been making purchases for his library. They include a large number of valuable books of French history from the collection of the Societe de l'Histoire de France. In London he bought more than 500 volumes of the calendars of the State Papers of England which will complete the smaller collection already at the school.

IT T is always a matter of world wide interest when a copy of the Gutenberg Bible comes into the market. Edward Goldston, a London rare book dealer, tells how he became the owner of the first printed book in a letter from which we take the following account: "On the 6th of July I first heard that a Gutenberg Bible was in the market and expected to see it in Cologne. The next morning I left London, and on arriving at Cologne I was surprised to learn that it was a day's journey away. I went to Vienna and there learned it was at the Melk Monastery. A few hours later I inspected the book. The price was fixed and I left for London the same day. After making arrangements for the cash I returned and carried back the two volumes of the Gutenberg Bible to London. The whole transaction took less than two weeks. The copy belonged to the famous Melk Monastery, about 40 miles from Vienna, and is fully described in Schwenke's supplementary volume to the "Gutenberg 42 Line Bibles" published by Insel Verlag of Leipzig. Difficulties developed on account of the authorities in Vienna not wishing to let the copy leave. the country as it was a better copy than the one in the Vienna National Library, which I compared page for page. I succeeded, however, in carrying the precious book back to London with me." ment to the Bibliography of Meredith, by Buxton Forman," is the latest publication of the Bibliographical Society of London.
