Together 22 vols., 8vo, calf, sprinkled edges, by CLYDE of London. A remarkably fine and unusually complete set of this EXTREMELY SCARCE Work.

The two volumes of Tracts are VERY SCARCE, and are seldom found with the work, to which, however, they form an important addition. The later editions of the first volume of the Remembrancer are in royal octavo, and contain a "Map of the Invirons of Boston in 1775," together with several Important Papers not included in the first edition.

An incomplete set, consisting of The Journal of Congress May 10th, 1775.- The Jour- B
nal of Congress September 5th, 1775.- The Prior Documents.-The Remembrancer, Vol.
1., first edition, wanting signature T.- Vol. 1., fourth edition, and Vols. II. to XII. Requiring
the acquisition of the five latest vols. only, to complete an uncut set which would form a
prominent feature in any collection.

"The American War gave rise to this Work in 1775. Every authentic paper relative to
that war, as also with France and Spain, whether published in England or America, by the
British Ministry or the American Congress, are all carefully inserted, also the letters of the seve-
ral Commanding Officers, Addresses and Resolutions of the various Committees, Conventions,
&c. To these have been prefixed a collection of authentic papers on the various subjects of
dispute, from the resolutions which gave rise to the Stamp Act, in 1764, to the Battle of
Lexington, in 1775." The above is the Publisher's account of this work, and may give
some idea of its importance. COMPLETE SETS ARE NOW OF THE GREATEST RARITY.
