BIBLIOGRAPHICAL GLEANINGS.

FOR THE SUN.

~ 4 bon chienil xe tient jamais unhon tos'."

MR. Eorroß,--Your notice, in a former num-
ber o(your interesting Paper, of the attention
which the approaching publication of the Rev.
T. F. DLBULN's Bibliographical Decameron had
excited in the public mind, induced me to avail
myself of the earliest opportunity of examining that
celebrated performance. Returning home alone
this evening, Y found on my arrival the three
Volumes of that splendid Work. I had little re-
lish for my , lonelydinner, which being soon dis-
patched, 1 sat down with
.a keen appetite to the
feast which,frotogeneral reputation, this literary
prednetion.was- so likely to furnish. -

My first object was, with the utmost care, to
Cut open the leaves, which, from the excellency of
the paper, required a tolerable sharp and smooth
knife. I then proceeded to examine, with a pair
of the best glasses of Mr. JONES, the eminent
Holborn optician, all the numerous and beanti•
`lot Engravings and Cuts which adorn the First
Volume of the Work. After feasting most
luxuriously on these dainties and delicious mor-
sels, I ventured to open the leaves of the Second
Volume, which though not so splendid as the
first, will prove, I have no doubt, equally gratify-
ing to the TRUE lovers of Bibliography ; but in
tinning over the pages of the Second Volume,
whether from there being fewer pretty pictures
in it, than in its predecessor, or from a natural
eutiosity to know the opinion this learned Writer
entertained of modern Printers, of whom he pro-
mised to TALK ! I caught a few passages en pas-
sant that surprised me, and I was induced to look
over-those pages in the Second Volume, in which
the Author has in part performed his promise of
noticing the British Printers of the present day.
He has however omitted many of them, who were
entitled to distinguished attention, and he has
brought into notice some of a secondary order,
- whose names might have been allowed quietly to
sink into oblivion, without any loss or injury to
the Republic of Letters ;—whilst the productions
of other Houses hose been indiscreetly drawn into
comparison with some of the finest specimens of
,printing, front the Presses of individuals who,
though named in the work, are slightly praised.
It would be as invidious to particularize some
of the inferior Presses which Mr. DIBDIN has
eulogized, as it would be an act of injustice to
forbear mentioning some of those Printers whose
names he has on►itted.—Why be stopped short in
his pilgrimage in that delicious parterre " Black
Horse Alley" is ,not obvious—he must have
known, and therefore ought to have COMMUlli-
cated to his country readers, that there were Print-
ing Establishments to the eastward of that choice
and cleanly situation, which were entitled to he
named, from the correct and beautiful specimens
of printiog they had given to
,the world. his
parsimonious notice of the Printers of Scotland,
and total disregard of the-English Provincial Prin-
ters, is equally unaccountable, many of them hav-
ing producer! finer specimens of printing than the
Presses of the Printers of !he Statutes and the
Votes I—The- individuals- interested in those ex-
tensive 10,stablishments, the public must esteem
and value for their integrity and moral worth :
hut when their works are so unnecessarily brought
forward and contrasted With the productions
of other printers, it must occur to them, as it
will to others, that an over-zealous injudicious
friend is more dangerous than an avowed ene-
my.—Until very lately, it is undet stood, the
former of these Establishments dirt not print FINE
Works ; and therefore to have thrown them in-
to the vantage-ground on the present occasion,
can only give a more immediate direction to the
ptiblic eye, and• make their inferiority the more
al►parent. Neither Mr. RAMSAY'S or The Wey-
bridge Press should have been passed over WI.
noticed. From the latter, being more within our
ken, have come beautiful specimens of printing,
particularly the Regent's Classics, not more so
front their elegance than their accuracy. Indeed,
there is great indiscretion in the contrasts which
Mr. DIBDIN has made. For instance, let him
rook at SURTEES's Durham, and- compare it with
the Lordis and Einiete of Dr. IVutTsxen—aye,
indeed, even with The Ducatus Leodiensis, by
DEWHURST, at a Yorshire Press, and he will feel
the force and justice of this observation.
The Lordis and Elmete, printed by Mr. DAVI-
SON, is certainly his chef-d'ouvre, and one of the
fittest specimens of modern printing. IVlrilst un-
fortunately SURT.LES's Durham. is very ioferior,apd
in many places incorrect, front the negligence of
the printer. _ _

If it were necessary, Tconld adduce many other
instances of indifferent printing front the Presses
which this worthy writer so laboriously praises
and recommends to his readers—even some of the
very books he has mentioned, but I will not
follow his example, and fill your pages with a
catalogue of specimens of bad modern printing, as
he has very idly filled about ten pages of the se-
cond Volume of his Work, with a list of the Books
printed by his mutual Friends, Messrs. BULMER
and BeNst,EY. For these
.worthy men I have a
great respect—hut, whilst holding them so promi-
nently up to public view, hi should have done jus-
tice to many of the other Houses. Some of them
of ANTIEN date ;—stich HS the RIVINGTONS,
BALDwINS, BROOKES, &c. &c.—But why those
illustrious men, BASKERviLLE and FouLts, should
Lave come in for so small a share of the praise of
this great arbiter of Ancient and Modern Printing
I must leave to himself to explain ; and why Mr.
DUNCAN, of Glasgow, should have been reserved
for a squeeze into a short Note at the end of this
division of the Work is rather problematical, for
he certainly deserved a station in the text as well
RS Mr. BALLANTYNE, who is styled THa JENSON
of the North ! !

Again, Mr. DIADIN'S indiscriminate praise of
Mr. BuLmea's Press occupies thirteen pages,
'which 1 should have preferred to see filled with a
concise, correct, and honest account of the pre-
siont state of printing throughout Great Britain.

The anecdote of " The todoni Hum" is very
stale. 1 do not recollect whether it is in KETT'S
Flowers of Wit, or in Sir RICHARD PHILLIP'S Jest.
Book; but it is not unlikely. However, I re-
member that somewhere about the time this silly
anecdote ~was first spoken of, and which it pro-
bably. gave rise to, it was considered polite and
fashionable in the vicinity of The Shakspeare
Gallery, to style the Establishment in Cleveland-
Row, " THE BULMERINO PRESS," in order, it is
presumed, hat it might sound fine, and be on a
par with the Italian Press of BoDow, to which it
was so sillily compared.
The sly wipe in the Second Vo!nine at the
Heads of some of the Public Schools, may be, in
some instances, well grounded. 1, however,
think Mr. Di BDI would, on inquiry, find they have
more taste and regard for the early printed Books
they possess, than an Eastern Chapter had, when
they sold to an eminent Collector some extremely
rare Books, to raise a fund to buy modern ones.
But why, in Mr. DISHES'S enumeration of " the
Public Schools " in the Note alluded to, are Read-
ing and Shrewsbury included ; and the Charter-
I-loose and Merchant Taylors' omitted, I cannot
conjecture, unless'.the 'Author means to insinuate
there is a stronger degree of " BLACK. LETTER "
feeling in Mr. Russet.r. and Mr. CHERRY, than in
the Masters of the oilier Institutions.

Although it is verging towards midnight, I can •
not withstand the temptation of extracting part
of the note in p. 313 of the second volume. It
shews the Author's readiness to avail himself of
every opportunity to introduce his favourites ;
but at the SEIM time it heightens the contrast,
and renders more glaring the omissions of the
names of individuals who may have incurred his
resentment or his displeasure. But mind ye, gentle
Reader ! all this may be imaginary—and there-
fore do not suppose I either have the inclination
or wish to injure the Author or prejudice the sale
of his hook ;—on the contrary, I think it an in-
valuable work, and that it ought to find a place
in the library of every rational collector. But
now for THIS SAID NOTE on the Printer of Paulus
Jovius's History of his own Times, the Dibdininn
ancestor of that popular, pleasing, and elegant Poet
of Scotland, ‘VALTER SCOTT 1 find the same
ornament in titles prefixed to Paulus Jovius's
History of his own Times, printed at Venice in
12mo. by ‘VALTER ScoTT—(Venetiis, spud GOAL-,
TERUM SCOTTUM)—an ancestor, 1 make no doubt
(and of such an ancestry no man need be ashamed)
of the PRESENT ILLUSTRIOUS Poet of the same
name." This edition of Paulus Jovius was printed
in 1559, for the first volume-1553, for the se-
cond volume—and 1554 for the third volume.
For the accuracy of this assertion of Mr.'Scores
descent, I cannot take upon myself to vouch, and
therefore I refer it to those Learned Societies who
are the sacred depositories of the genealogies of
illustrious Scotsmen.
Wednesday Night. ANDREAS GOTHICIE.

IRELAND.

CATHOLIC BOARD.

DUBLIN, Dec. 15.—0 n Saturdaythere wag a
meeting, of the !lonian Catholic 111/,ard, ►then
Owen O'Conor, Esq. was called to the Chair.

RFMONSTRANCE TO THE POPE.

Vie usual preliminary forms having been gone
through,
Mr. O'Gonatata, who acted as Secretary in the
absence of Mr. Hay, stated, that Mr. Hay had
received a letter from the Abbe O'Conor,
dated Paris, November 12, 1817, which men-
tioned, that the Abbe bad made inquiry, agree-
ably to Mr. 11-'s desire, respecting the transmission
of the Remonstrance of the Catholics of Ireland
to the Pope, under cover to Cardinal Litta,
throuali the Post-Office of the French capital,
and had been assured, that if it was put into that
Office (and of this fact there appears to be no
doubt), it had certainly been forwarded to the
Holy See—for, added the Abbe O'Conor, they are
extremely particular in the French Post-Office.
The letter concluded by expressing an opinion,
that it was not necessary to take any further pro-
ceeding on the subject of the Packages, and that
Mr. Hay would shortly hear of their having safe-
ly arrived at Rome.
The Rev. Mr. Hayes having -been introduced,
and a motion made, that the Rev. Gentleman be
requested to make a Report of his Mission to the
Holy See, having been, carried,
Mr. HAYES rose, and delivered a Report of the
transactions of his Mission, from are clay upon
which the Remonstrance to the Holy See had
been confided to his charge, September 16, 1815,
until the forcible deportation from the Holy City
in the course. of the last summer.

He read the Report front a written paper, which
was directed to be printed.
The Rev. Mr. HAves having concluded his Re-
port, and handed it to the Secretary, a resolution
of thanks to that gentleman, for the zeal, fidelity,.
and talent with which he had conducted his im-
portant mission to the Holy See, was moved and
passed.

It having appeared that a balance is_due to Mr.
Hayes of the expellees which he was compelled to
incur, a notice was given of an intention to submit
a plan, at the next meeting, for the purpose of
raising a sum to liquidate this debt.

THE RHEMISH NOTES.

The Committee appointed to prepare a disa-
vowal of the intolerant doctrines contained in the
Notes to the Rheimish edition of the Bible, put off
their report to Thursday next.—The Meeting ad-
journed to Thursday.

A correspondent witnessed a very interesting
scene at Oporto, on Sunday the 2d November last,
the opening of an English chapel for the celebra-
tion of Divine service, the first and only Protest-
ant church in the Peninsula. Besides the mer-
chants, the British, and Dutch Consuls attended,
several English Officers in the Portuguese ser-
vice, Masters of vessels, travellers, and seafaring
men joined the congregation. The Chaplain (a
truly excellent Divine) delivered a very appro-
priate and impressive discourse on the occasion,
which was heard with deep attention. The sacred
edifice is a small but elegant building, and reflects
great credit on the piety and taste of the British
