No. 1. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES ON HISTORIES OF INVENTIONS AND BOOKS OF SECRETS. PART VI.-CONCLUSION.* BY JOHN FERGUSON, LL.D., F.S.A., PROFESSOR OF CHEMISTRY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF GLASGOW. [Read at a Meeting of the Society held on January 19th, 1888.] Several editions of Neri's Art of Glass have been already quoted. † Next to the original Italian of 1612, one of the rarest can now be adduced, the first edition, namely, of the English translation: The Art of Glass, Wherein Are shown the wayes to make and colour Glass, Pastes, London, Printed by A. W. for Octavian Pulleyn, at the Sign of the Rose in St. Paul's For convenience of reference I have called this Part VI., although, strictly speaking, it is the second half of Part V., published in the preceding volume. Both parts were communicated to the Society at the same meeting, but the completed paper was of such a length that it was found necessary to print it in two sections. The present part contains the books subsequent to 1602. + Trans. Archaol. Soc. Glasgow, 1883, II. pp. 194, 251; (N.S.), 1886, I. p. 225. |
