Paris, 1772-1773. 6 vol. iu 4.o Brunet observes that these Works are most valuable to the literary history of France anterior to the end of the XVI.th Century; but that unhappily Rigoley de Juvigny undertook a task beyond his strength; for that notwithstanding the abundant aid he had procured from MM. de Brequigny and Capperonier, he has left many errors and omissions; which the learned Bibliographer, Mercier, Abbé de St. Leger, has in great part corrected by numerous MSS. notes written on the margin of his copy; and which is preserved in the Royal Library. Of these notes Brunet has made use in his Manuel. N.B. The Works of FONTANINI and HAYM, on Italian Literature, are so well-known, that they need not be particularized. ART. LXXIV. SIR THOMAS POPE BLOUNT. Censura Celebriorum Authorum, etc. Collegit Thomas Pope Blount Anglo-Britannus, Baronettus. 1090. fol. (Act. Erud. 1691. p. 21.) This Work is noticed in Acta Eruditorum, 1691, p. 21, which concludes with the following remark, worthy of the attention of all readers of erudition. « Probatur nobis ingenua Autoris sententia, quando rationem redditurus, cur in tanta præclarissimorum Scriptorum copia, qui in Anglia floruerunt, tam paucos attigerit, illud unum excusationis loco affert, quod lingua vernacula exteris Eruditis ignota scripserint, deque iis adeo judicia, censuras aut observationes inter Literatos, (exteros præsertim) reperire haud facile fuerit. Ex quo capere id monitum non Angli solum, sed et exteri alii possent, ut si non de patria tantum sua, sed de orbe erudito universo bene mereri desiderant, lucubrationes suas aut Latino idiomate, |
