    BIBLIOGRAPHIA PARACELSICA. § I. As the following list is merely a continuation of that which was formerly printed, the running number has been continued for convenience of reference, and the same plan has been adopted for the descriptions of the books. The titles are given in full, with the collations, and then remarks upon Mook's account are appended when such are required. General considerations arising out of these remarks will be more satisfactorily dealt with when the list is finished, and the facts that it contains are set in order. The books to be now described have all, with one excep- tion (No. 55, in the British Museum), been obtained from two private collections. They have not been selected; that of course is impossible. Paracelsus' books are very scarce, and when they do occur in foreign catalogues they are generally sold before one can apply for them. In home catalogues they are still scarcer, and the English translations are scarcest of all, so that the collector may be thankful if anything come in his way and if he succeed in securing it. It has therefore surprised me that so many should have been brought together as the following list con- tains; far more, indeed, than exist in any library catalogue
