RARE BOOKS.
The rarest of printed hooks is, says a Paris contemporary, the Bible from the Gutenberg I'ress, a copy of which was sold in 188-1 for £3200 f and another in 1807 for £4OOO. After these comes the Psalter of 1457, the first volume printed with a date. In the third rank, we learn, stand the History of Troye of 1469, the first work printed in English, and the Canterbury Tales, an edition of which not long ago was sold for £3OBO.
