B.-There are moreover a variety of beautiful miffals, all THIS department is not to be left without mention of the moft valuable illumination of a British library: the pedegree of the family. This is rich in two. One is not lefs than fortytwo feet long; which, after paffing through the British and Saxon race of monarchs, purfues its purpose through the monarchs of Ifrael; reaches Noah and his ark, and finishes with Adam and Eve. Our bards were our heralds and genealogifts. This must originally have been composed by one, who, I dare fay, was infinitely displeased that he was cruelly ftopped in his progress. by our first parents, and by the Mofaic account denying to him all power of extending his patron's lineage into that of the PreAdamites. The other pedegree (notwithstanding it is most beautifully illuminated) is fcarcely worth mention, being a mere abridgment of the former, and not above twenty-two feet in length. SELECT BOOKS.
