See Panzer, iii, 88, 90; Hain, 13089*; Dibdin, Bibl. Spenc, ii, 258; Brunet. iv, 714 ; Graesse, v, 337. Of the very large number of editions of this work in various languages we can only mention the following : Lemaire, Paris, 1827-32, 11 vols. Sillig, Gotha and Hamburg, 1851- 54, 6 vols. Kulb, Stuttgart, 1840-47, 7 vols., 8vo. * Philemon Hol- land, London, 1601, 2 vols., folio. Brotier, Londini, 1826, 13 vols., 8vo.
The "Father of Natural History" can hardly be accounted a chemist, but no bibliography of any branch of science, conceived on a historical basis, can afford to omit the Natural History of Pliny.
