de la Bibliotheque Imperiale,' by Leopold Deslisle — folio, Paris, 1868 — section xix., pp. 434, 435). This learned Dutchman, Baron Gerard Meerman, was born at Leiden in 1722, and died at Aix-la-Chapelle on December 15, 1771, leaving an only son, Comte Jean Meerman, who was born at the Hague on November 1, 1753, and died there on August 19, 1815 ('Nouvelle Biog. Generale,' Didot, 1861, xxxiv., p. 74). Some years after the son's death the family library was disposed of. The printed catalogue appeared at the Hague in 1824 in four volumes, 8vo.: 'Bibliotheca Meermanniana, sive Catalogus . . . morte dereliquet Joannes Meerman . . . Dominus in Dalem et Vuren, etc. . . .' There were nineteen sale days fixed, between June 8 and July 3, 1824. I have a copy of vols. i. and ii., but have not been able to procure vols. iii. and iv.; and, so far as I can find, the work is not in the British Museum. The 'Storia do Mogor' must have occurred in vol. iv., 'MSS. François, Italiens, Espagnols, Hollandois et Allemands, livres Chinois, etc.,' Nos. 832-1100, pp. 143-182, of which the sale day was Saturday, July 3, 1824.
