BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES.

For the following we have mainly to thank Miss Kathleen Schlesinger, who has beenemployed many months in following up every clue, and although the results displayvery considerable literary activity on the part of the author, they do not by any meansindicate Miss Schlesinger’s labours. Agricola’s works were many of them published atvarious times in combination, and therefore to set out the title and the publication of eachwork separately would involve much repetition of titles, and we consequently give the titlesof the various volumes arranged according to dates. For instance, De Natura Fossilium, DeOrtu et Causis, De Veteribus et Novis Metallis, De Natura eorum quae Effluunt ex Terra, andInterpretatio have always been published together, and the Latin and Italian editions ofthese works always include Bermannus as well. Moreover, the Latin De Re Metallica of1657 includes all of these works.
We mark with an asterisk the titles to editions which we have been able to authen-ticate by various means from actual books. Those unmarked are editions which we aresatisfied do exist, but the titles of which are possibly incomplete, as they are taken fromlibrary catalogues, etc. Other editions to which we find reference and of which we are notcertain are noted separately in the discussion later on.®
