Prince Lucien Bonaparte's Library.
The large and curious philological library of the late Prince Lucieja Bonaparte is soon to come into ;fche^ market. It numbers about 25,000 volumes.

This collection includes a specimen of every English dialect. His usual plan was to get the gospel of St. Matthew or the the Song of Solomon translated into the different dialects by experts.
