(Created claim: text of the quotation (P4): But, that we might not only see Covers, they reach'd us down two or three to look into; an Apollonius Rhodius in Capitals, with Accents, printed in 1496; an ancient MS of Pliny's Epistles; and another of Tully's Ora tions; Erasmi Adagia, printed by Frobenius, with Erasmus's Emendations, in MS. This Library is said to consist of more than 18000 Volumes; all valuable well-chosen Books.) |
(Changed claim: text of the quotation (P4): The Library of Valetta was too celebrated a thing, to leave Naples without seeing, tho'we could only see it, which is indeed the most that a Traveller can ordinarily be suppos'd to do, who has so many various Objects to employ his Observations, and so little time to bestow upon them.) |
