. Art is extended and compressed to the artisan's equal praise. There have been workers to whom pyramids and colossuses gave reputation. There have been some who made themselves famous by rings and seals. Does not history speak well of a four-horse chariot ELZEVIRS IOI which a fly covered with its wings ? Since this is so, and the perfection of works is found rather in the good use of the stuff than its profusion, 1 have no reason to complain because you have put me in a little volume." Several... of the Elzevirian volumes of Balzac in this collection are in an uncut state. A Amfterdam , Bonaventure Elzevir, the man of business, and Abraham, the printer, both died in 1652, and were succeeded by their sons, Daniel and Jean, whose association lasted only two and a half years. A handsome volume of their production contains the satires and other works of Regnier, and so good a copy as this is 102 ELZEVIRS a rarity. Among the most precious and beautiful of Elzevirs is the edition of Thomas & Kempis's " De Imitatione Christi," printed by Jean and Daniel Elzevir.
