The Bibliotheca Literaria was so little supplied with papers that could interest curiosity, that it could not hope for long continuance . Wasse, the chief contributor, was an unpolished scholar, who, with much literature, had no art or elegance of diction, at least in English. At Bodfari I heard the second lesson read, and the sermon preached in Welsh.
It is somewhat singular that Jacques-Auguste de Thou never succeeded in getting possession of these books, though they had always been kept in his father's library; and they were not, indeed, replaced in the 'Bibliotheca Thuana' until it had become the property of the Cardinal de Rohan.
The MS. in the library of Jesus College, Oxford, is of the year 1458; the Bodleian, numbered 2,764, is of the century after, though the great Benedictine antiquary, Montfaucon, in that monument of labour and erudition, Bibliotheca Bibliothecarum MSS. Nova, is of opinion that it is as old as 1463; and that in the Harleian collection of MSS. in the British Museum, also numbered 2,764, stated to date back to 1412, can scarcely be older than 1440 or 1450, from the diphthongal writing, first introduced by Guarino of Verona, who died in 1460.
The circus of lumber has been transferred from under the Peak Fort to near the sea; it mostly lacks men and horses. The Germans have a tolerable lending library; and the public bibliotheca in the Town House, near the Jesuit church, is rich in old volumes, mostly collected from religious houses.

Erant non in bibliotheca libri illi, ut eorum dignitas postulabat, sed in teterrimo quodam et obscuro carcere, fundo scilicet unius turris."
"Yes, sir; on some of these marks are written the names of remarkable victims, recurring at intervals; on others are inscribed the heads of villainy 'the black-hole, 'starvation, 'thirst, 'privation of exercise, 'of bed, 'of gas, 'of chapel, 'of human converse, 'inhuman threats, and the infernal torture called the 'punishment-jacket. Somewhat on the plan of 'Watt's Bibliotheca Britannica. So that you can at will trace any one of Mr.
Quid Vaticanam Bodleianamque objicis, hospes! Unicus est nobis Bibliotheca Liber.
To many there would appear to be an equal degree of verdant simplicity in mentioning among the specialties and distinguishing features of a collection the Biographia and Encyclopædia Britannica, Lowndes's Manual, the Quarterly and Edinburgh Reviews, Boyle, Ducange, Moreri, Dodsley's Annual Register, Watt's Bibliotheca, and Diodorus Siculus.
A more complete list, with the titles of the books, may be found in Haller's "Bibliotheca Anatomica." Another of the distinguished Arabian physicians was Avenzoar the transformation of his Arabic family name, Ibn-Zohr. He was probably born in Penaflor, not far from Seville. He died in Seville in 1162 at the age, it is said, of ninety-two years.
