form. At the end of the Book of Judges occurs the name of the scribe

value of this class of books has much risen since then, and may now be con
sidered, as ten times greater.
In comparing the first edition of " Caxton's Game of Chess" with the
second, one perceives many variations in the spelling. I consider the firat
edition to be the more interesting, for a variety of reasons :
1. It is the first book printed in England.
2. It is the Editio princeps of the English version.
8. It shows the Art of Printing in its crudest form.
4. It has a Post-script not in the second edition.
Both editions run on together to the passage on the last page of the

Colonel Leake's Works on Greece abound in valuable observations on the present state of Greece, and are accom

When Colonel Leuke's journeys were undertaken, the Peloponnesus hsd been very little explored, and no descrip
tion of it had been made pnblic except those by Wheler and Chandler. The real Topography of the interior was un
known, and tho map of ancient Greece was formed only by inference from its historians and geographers, although,
having been densely populated, divided into numerous small states, and in a high Mate of improvement in the arts of
