Its present value would be hard to de termine, as no copy has recently- come up for sale, but the price steadily ad vances. -In 1884 a copy In London brought £3,800, In 1837 the Ashbura- ham copy on vellum sold for £4,000. The late Mr. Hoe estimated that It would not be long before the price of one of these rare copies' would come to 350,000. After the Gutenberg Bible. Robert IL Dodd, who Is an authority on rare books, places the Psalter dated 1457, which is the first book printed with a date. It has been said that this book If offered for sale would bring over $50,- 000. A copy of the same Psalter dated 1453 was bought by Quaritcb in London for something like £2,600. This book passed Into the possession of Theodoro Irving, of Oswego, and later, with his library. Into the possession of J. P. Morgan. The “Receyyell of the History of Troy," printed by William Caxton, the flrst English printer, 1469-71. comes third on the list, being the first book printed In the English language. There are only a few copies of It known, and of these few a still smaller number are perfect The first edition of Chaucer’s "Can terbury Talcs,” printed about 1478. Is very rare and valuable, as are the I486 edition of Sir Thomas Malory's "Marta d'Arthur” and the First Folio Shake speare. A copy of the First F\>l!o now In the library of an American col lector sold at the Van Antwerp sale In London a few years ago for £3,600. The elaborately titled “Book of the General Laws and Liberties Concerning the inhabitants of Massachusetts,” printed at Cambridge. Mass.. In 1648, Is the first book of laws printed in what now known as the United Slates. The only known copy of this book, which is In the library of the late El D. Church, of Brooklyn. Is easily worth 820.000 or 825.000. It would probably bring much more even if offered for sale. Antedating by eight years the first book of laws printed In this country is the Bay Psalm Book, minted In 1640. in Cambridge also—the first book printed In what Is now called the United States. Of this book there are ten copies In all; the four perfect copies are those in the Bodleian library at Oxford. England; In the Lenox library In New York, in the library of John Carter Brown at Providence, and In the library of the late Comeilus Vanderbilt. It would be hard to tell the value of one of these perfect copies, as none bas been offered for sale lately. The Vanderbilt copy, whlcb was obtained for 81.200, would undoubtedly bring 810,000 today. Extremely valuable as being tlje only perfect copy known is that of the flrst edition of Shakespeare’s "Venus and Adonis.” the first book of Shakespeare’s to be published. Rounding out the ten most valuable printed books In the world Mr. Dodd would place the 1459. edition of the Psalter mentioned above In the final place on the list. .VS?
