In one of the late numbers of the Periodical work
entitled La Bibliographie de France, it is stated that there
are deposited at the Royal Library, weekly, copies of 120
works, containing upon an average 1,092 sheets of letterpress,
of each of which there are, one with another, 500 copies
printed; thus supplying weekly to the literary avidity of the
public no fewer than 546,000 sheets. If the same calculation
is carried on to twelve months, it will appear that in that
space of time the press brings forth 5,760 new works, compris-
ing 32,318 volumes, and if of these 500 copies are thrown off,
they make '26,208,000 sheets.
One of the last numbers of • the State Gazette of
Turkey contains, for the first time, advertisements of the put-
iication by subscription of Turkish literary works. They an-
nounce, amongst others, three historical works, five gramma-
tical, and four in poetry. Those in history are highly im-
portant. The following are their titles :—" The Lives of the
Sultans and Viziers, by Osman Sade Ahmed Tahib, who died
in 1723." This will be continued down to the present time.
The Lives of the Muftis, by Soliman Seadeddin Ben Mom-
Tried, celebrated under the name of Massakim Efendisade."
This work was written in 1774. And " The Lives of the
Reis Effendis, by Reis Effendi Ahmed Resmi." It is to be
continued to 1807, by Soliman Faik.
The workmen taking down the residence of the
treasurer of Chichester Cathedral, for the purpose of rebuild-
ing, a few days since, dug up an antique spur, and a coin of
William and Mary; and in a piece pf timber were found six
thin brass coins, three about the diameter of the late eighteen-
penny tokens, the smaller the size of a shilling. They have
legends on both sides, the characters of which are of the Ro-
man form, but are too much abbreviated to lead to any other
surmise than that they either from German or Dutch mints.
No date appears on them, but within the circle formed by the
legend on the obverse side is an orb, surmounted by a cross,
and on the reverse a rose in the centre, with four celestial
crowns.—Lewes Paper.
