We are pleased to learn that a second edition has been called for of Herr Karl
Pfau's ' Buch beriihmter Buchhandler , ' the first edition of which we took occasion to
notice on its appearance . The new edition contains additional biographies of Caxton ,
Etienne ( Stephanus ) , Elzevir , Didot , J . Delalain , and Nicholas'Triibner .
