Corinth. Can. 1. v. 12, Ebræos Cap. 11. v. 40 and Cap. 13. v. 14.) in a border, f. [1 ]b; bio- grapliical sketch, pp. 3-22; 9 poetic eulogies , pp. 23- 58; 2 Icelandic and 1 Latin epitapli, pp. 58-62.— The tliird eulogistic poom is Samsett af þess Savl : Herra loflegu Miningar | skyldugum P^lskara | Bjar- na Joonssyne ; the, 4th is apparently by Egill Eld- járnsson, rector of Utskálar; and tlie 8th by Sigurbur Arnason , rector of Goðdalir.—This is the last work is- sued at Iiólar, wliicli had beeu the principal seat of Ice- landic printiug for almost 230 years. Appropriately enough this final production is a memorial of tlie last Bishop of Hólar, for not long after Bp. Sigurður Stefáns- son’s death in 1798 the two sees of Ilólar and Skálholt wero united, and lleykjavik became tlie seat of tlie now bishoprick. The typograpliy of the volume is very neat and in good taste—exceptionally so consideriug tlio re- sources of tlie establishment and tlie cliaractor of its work during the last quarter of a century of its exist- ence. It is notable that the nintli and last of tlie eulogies should be entitled: Sorgar Bergmail j i Saratale lagad J Hoola Prent-Smidiu og Hoola | Stiptis | eptir mistau Mahgiædsku Speigil | Biskup Sigurd borin Stephani. The first eight stanzas are put into tho .mouth of the printing-oftice; tlie otlicr seven are a response to tliese typographical plaints supposed to be uttered by Deatli. The earlier portiou of the poem indicates that the de- ceased prelate had endeavoured to improve tho. Hólar press, which now liad a rival in that of Leirárgarðar. It reads as follows: (Prent Smidiali) Hingad suwid liiner wngu, llæru krijnder lijka kiæru, Olldungar, sem ofar Vellde eigid Dvpl, jai komid, Jieigid ! sitied hliooder siaaed græt eg samstiniande mijnum Arnla, skodid rietta VerkaVottiu, VandarDrottins mighirtanda.

It is perhaps wortliy of notice tliat the reference, “ Gisla Fall mig gjorde vesla, ” in tho fourth stanza, istoBp. Gisli Magnússon, always, so long as he wore the mitre of Hólar (1755 to 1779), a warra friend and an intelligcnt director of tho episcopal printing-press (prentsmibjan). —From tlie accession of Bp. GuSbrandur Þorláksson, under whom the earliest oxisting Ilólar publications wero issued, to the deatli of Bp. Siguröur Stefánssou, a period of 227 years elapsed. 76.
