Excerpt from Catalogue of the American Library of the Late Mr. George Brinley of Hartford, Conn, Vol. 5: General and Miscellaneous; American Indians, Captivities; Local History; Miscellaneous Tracts; Historical Sermons and Addresses; Privately Printed Books; Newspapers and Periodicals; Engravings, Portraits, Maps and Plans; Autographs HE fifth and last portion of the American library of the late Mr. George Brinley, after a long delay occasioned by causes beyond the control of the administrators, is now offered for sale. While the present portion of the catalogue is less in extent, and perhaps in richness of contents, than some of its predecessors, it will be found well worth the careful perusal of all interested in this class of literature. In the depart ment of local history it presents many treasures, as also in that of biography. The extensive pamphlet collections here catalogued are of more than passing interest, for example those of Fourth of July Orations, Fast and Thanksgiving Sermons, Historical and Military Sermons and Addresses, etc. In the section of Books Privately Printed will be found specimens of some of the rarest of American private and restricted editions; while in that of Newspapers and Periodicals are files and bound volumes which cannot be duplicated in the market. Mr. Brinley was not a collector of maps, nor of autographs but incidentally he came into possession of some very interesting examples in each of these lines. For instance, note the unique ms. Charts of Boston and New York Harbors described on p. 144, (n 05. 9316, 9317) and the fine collection of Revolutionary and other letters catalogued on pp. 145 - 154, as well as many other autographs scattered through the cata logue, as on p. 98.
