Bourdon, Téniers, Duval, Millet, and a large number of other painters. This series had already been issued (in 1709) with 7 extra plates by Boyer, 27 mezzotints by Barras (25 of which were replaced by Colemans, and appear in the issue of 1744 above named), and an extra frontispiece.-ED.] 779 Buchoz (P.

[Only 200 large paper copies were printed of Houbraken and Vertue's "Heads of Illustrious Persons." The number of portraits given above is correct, but the work is usually found in 2 vol., and was so issued, the first appearing in 1743 with 80 plates, and the second in 1751 with 28. The series of portraits of members of the Kit-Cat Club, 48 in number, is of much greater importance, and justifies the high price realised for the lot as a whole. Good sets are worth from £20 to £25, and more when on large paper.ED.]

Wille, original impressions, half bound (broken), Paris, Impr. Roy., 1752, atlas folio (30) Leighton, £2 12s.

[Though not specifically mentioned in the above description, there is also a portrait of Le Brun by Edelinck, after de Largillière. There are only 10 leaves of text. The large paper copies have 51 plates in proof, the one entitled "La Franche-Comté réunie à la France" not existing in proof state. Further, the number of plates in the large paper copies does not tally with those in copies on the ordinary paper, the former having 3 medals, while the latter contains only 2 medals on a leaf, and the 2 plates of the ceilings are not folded in the large paper issue. See Lewine's "Bibliography of Eighteenth Century Art and Illustrated Books," 1898.-ED.]
