Bibliotheca Spenceriana; or, A descriptive catalogue of the ..library of George John, earl Spencer . y brief in that of the one under consi-deiation: not, however, (as may be seen) that this description will beentirely without embellishment. The recto of the first leaf is the reverse we observe a cut of the Arctic and Antarctic Poles, withthe following superscription: Scemmus sphprpcina secundum Hyginii descriptionem. Seemiller remarks that, instead of this corrupt reading, (which wasalso in Garells copy) his own copy presented that of * scemma signatures a i, ij, are not marked in the present copy; and insteadof d 4, we observe c 4—the latter also occurring (c iiii) in its regularplace. Another strange error also marks the copy under signature f is inserted for that of e—and e is erroneously printedupon a leaf which is d viij. Instead, therefore, of e z, f z, f j, read e 1,e ^, e 3. On what should be e 4, the account of the planets commences,accompanied by figures: and the ensuing are fac-similes of some ofthese, which speak for themselves:. Venus. Fenices 1485.] HYGINUS. 393
