LOG SHANTY BOOK-SHELF OF 181)t),

It was imagined in 1895 that thereafter possibly the "Log Shanty Book-
shelf" would cease to be a feature in the Pioneers' Cabin by a kind of neces-
sity, but it has since been found that a number of miscellaneous books that had
been overlooked or forgotten, still remained, which might have been included
in one or other of the preceding "shelves."

It was resolved, therefore, to make up one more so-called "shelf" out of
these remainders, and even to prepare the way for a successor in the following
year, should such an adjunct to the Pioneers' (Jabin still be re(|nired.

As to the title " Log Shanty Book-shelf," it has on a former occasion been
explained as being a reference to a feature often to be seen mi the log edilice
of an original settler— a stout unplaned plank of pine resting on strong wooden
pins driven into one of the solid logs of the building, up near the slope of the
roof, — and here were to be seen perhaps the family Bible, with a few obscure
volumes brought possibly by the original settler from his home in the old
country, and some additions made from time to time of such scanty literature
as was then procurable. It was iu a collection thus commenced years ago that
the several Log Shanty Book-shelves that have been displayed iu the Pioneers'
Cabin for a series of past years, had their origin and starting point. There
have now been nine of these exhibitions ; the first was in 1887, and consisted
of pioneer school books, aids to self-culture and the acciuisition of general
knowledge. That in the year following was entitled, "The (Gatherings of a
Not Forgetful Pioneer Emigrant from {Devonshire," tracts, pamphlets, guide
books, legends, dialects, local histories, maps relating to the west of England^
eagerly secured and carefully garnered by the collector. The third, in 1889,
was an assenddage of pioneer Bibles, that is to say, early printed Bibles froni
many lan<ls and in many tongues. The fourth was cornj)osed of specimens of
pioneer typography of early printed books from the times of Gutenburg and
Caxton downwards. The next was entitled " Relics of a Pioneer Anti-
Obscurantist " (Erasmus of Hotterdam). The exhibitor having been familiar-
ized with the colloquies of Erasmus, used as a class book at school, became an
admirer of P^rasmiau ideas and a collector of Erasmiau books. Rejoicing in
the gheck given by Erasmus to the prevalence of Dark Age doctrine in the

[3]

16th century, he aimed to he within his little sphere an anti-ohscurantist
himself. The sixth, for 1892, was illustrative of pioneer Shakespeare culture
in Canada. That of the following year displayed " Books of a Sententious
Character, Proverhs, Allegories, etc." (an early pioneer gathering).

The eighth "shelf" was lahelled "Horace (.^anadianizing," interpreted to
mean " Early pioneer life in (^anada recalled by sayings of the Latin poet
Horace." The ninth thrcM' light upon "Early pioneer travel tendencies,
with some re.sults." Its ;;eneral description was (1) " My travel books" ; (2)
' Aids to the travel tendency such as an early Pioneer could lay hold of from
time to time " (specimens shown). The tenth Log Shanty Book-shelf is the one
now displayed. I have styled it "Aft'r Gleanings" because the books of
which it is composed might, if they had come into view in time, each of tliem
have been distributed among one or other of the previous shelves, but it
happened otherwise ; and it is likely that as my search into old accumulations
proceeds — carried on now, alas, by means of borrowed eyes — material may be
discovered, enough to furnish forth a "shelf" for 1897, should it be wanted,
and even another for a following year. Among the specialties of the present
display will be found a few volumes containing the autograph or book-plate of
a former possessor having some interest. In the case of certain items in this
compartment 1 have even ventured, as was likewise done on one or two former
occasions, to turn the book in (juestion to some autobiographic account, as when
the writer of the autograph and occasionally the author of the volume itself
v/as personally known to me in past days.

In T. H. T. Kscott's hook. " Platform, Press, Politics and Hay," puhlishedso recently a» 181M5,

vvi.Mi the owiierNhip of which, it ap|>cars, Mr. Kscott's forefathers fiad somethintf to do. The
pasB.tjfe reut Is a.s follows :- "My paternal jfreai-^'reat-vrandfut^ter, (Jeorjfe Hweet, a lawyer of
hi)fh local eminence, had, I believe, a home divided between Lord Palmerslon's old horou^h of
Tixerton and l.aunceston, near which latter town he was possessed of a fine old count r\ seat.
" Pcidiealc." This place will be perfectl\ familiar to many west country readers in the days
when ii belontfed to m\- father's first cousin, Charles Sweet, and was rented by a memorable
Cornish worthy, the late Rev. Henry Simcoe, who had established an industrial villajfe outside
the park ifates, whose Heri'ulean form in it- old world costume, and whose tiusseled Hessian
lKK)ts were familiar wherever between the Kxe and the Fal clerics met in confereni'e or S(|uires
as8end)led in sesHion." At the time when the private printiniif press was set up, Pcnheale had
become the property of the Kev. Mr. Sinu^oe, by purchase. The family .seat of his father, (Jen.
SinuMie, with whose name Cantulians are familiar, was situatetl in Hevonshire, not far from the
town of Honiton. This spacious residence was known as Wolfonl, an<l wiis occiipieil by his
family and widow up to the time of the death of the latter in 18.')(i ; but Mr. Simcoe never
vacated Peidieale, which had now become the home of a larjre family and household. It may
be ob.serve<l, by the way, that there is at this moment in the eastern portion of Ontario some-
where near the Ottawa, a township of VVolford, deriving its name from the Hevonshire head-
(|uarters of the Sinicoes.

At the Wolfonl near Honiton, it ou^fht also to be added, the mortal remains of (Jen. Simcoe
are deposited, in a private chapel attached to the house. Keturnint; now to Peidieale and the
printin>r press establishwl there, I have place<l with my copies of "The lA'^hl from the West"
sevenvl other Penheale publications.

(1) A selection of psalms and hymns, for the use of the churches of Ksfloskerry and Tremaine.

" Teachinif and admonishinjr one another in {walmsand hymns and sjii ritual sondes ; siiitrint; with
jrrace in your hearts unto the Lord." ("or. iii., 1(1. Cornwall : Kev. H. A. Simcoe, Penheale Press,
183L In the preface to this collection the compiler writes : " When the heart, as well as the voice,
is tuned to the jjlory of (iod, sinyinj;' becomes the noblest part of his woi^ship, and comes nearest
to the tflorioiis employment of heaven itself , but it must be recorded with jiaiii that it is a part
of our service which h.as fallen into woeful decwy. One reason of this is that tlie end of
sin>(in>f has been forufotten ; the true end is the nlorifyinjf of (io<l, anil the refreshment and
rejoicinfr the hearts of those enfjaged in it." This was in 1831. Great improvements in public
worship have taken plac'e tliroiii^'boiit the Kntrlish-speakint,' world since then. The Tremaine
mentioned in the title pas,'e was a small parish combined with K^loskerry.

In a volume of Breay's Sermons I carefully preserve the autograph of " Henry Walcott
Simcoe," Mr. Simcoe's eldest son, who died prematuicly. This volume was presented to me as a
memorial of him. I have, besides, a volume given to me by himself, it is that which follows :

Hunt's present, in order to further my boyish studies, was a flnecojiy in six volumes of Goldsmith's
"History of England, to the death of George II., with a continuation to the accession of George
IV., by William Jones. London: Thos. Tegg, ]82r)." This work I deposite<l in the Canatiian
Institute, but I carefully preserve, along with Mr. Walcott's pamphlet here shewn, a brief
brochure from the pen of Miss Hunt, entitled, "An Fls-say on Time," with poems added. St.
Leonards, Exeter : printed by and sold for the benefit of the deaf and dumb children at the
Institution, 1832.

I have, moreover. Miss Hunt's autograph in a copy of " James on the Collects."

I add one more particular in regard to the Rev. Mr. Simcoe of I ^. leale. The initials of his
name, H. A., stand for " Henry Addington," his godfather having been the statesman after-
wards better known as Lonl Sidmouth. Our Canadian county name Afldinglon, generally used
in conjunction with that of the county of Lennox, is due to the name of the same statesman.

St. John's College, Cambridge, one of Her Majesty's preachers at Whitehall. Cambridge:
printed at the University Press, 1841.

Mr. Merivale was for a time, also, Chaplain to the House of Commons, and then Dean of Ely.
He was the author of a now well known standard historical work, " History of the Romans
under the Empire." Six vols.

I used to attend Mr. Merivale's class room in St John's with great satisfaction, experiencing
there much sympathetic consideration ; and in after life I received very valuable encourage-
ment in many lit«rary undertakings from an occasional correspondence with him down to the
time of his death.

Mr. Merivale's department at St. John's embraced the study of the Greek and Latin classics.

Kiwj'H Colleije, Cambridge.

Aug. 20, 1819.

My Dear Sir: —The new college in Bengal is of great moment; and the hishops letter ahoui

it is a good one. If you have the means of recommending a Heafl, I have a Dealtry in my

pocket for yon, a man every way ipialifled hy piety, diligeiii • and the highest attainments,

(juite laden with university honours, and not ohnoxious on acci int of his religion, either. It is

no other than my assistant, Mr. Scholefleld. I have sunt (hem a Marlyn and a Thomason, md

I will now give them precisely what you will understand ut all itn benrinijn, a Dealtry. Are

you likely to want more than one chaplain ':'

AtTect'ly yr)urs,

('. SI.MKON.

Mr. Scholefleld, however, did not go out to India, he became Regius Professor of Cireek at
Cambridge, and had charge of a parish church there which I was in the habit of fre<iuenting.
Mr. Simeon I knew personally, and was* often present at social gatherings of young men at his
rooms. I was present at his funeral, which took place in the magniflccut chapel of King's
College, where his remains r';-;t in one of the sepulchral vaults beneath the building.

Another distinguished personal Cambridge friend was the Rev. .1. D. Lane, Fellow of St.
John's College, whose earthly career, however, was brief. My memorial of him is a volume of
sermons delivered as curate of Barnwell, close to Cambridge. I also carefully preserve a manu-
script programme of a pedestrian tour in the Isle of Wight, drawn up by him for my use and
duly carried into effect. I reads as follows : —

Colenso, afterwards Bishop of Natal, shared on e(|ual terms with Lane, the proceeds of his
college living, in order that he might have him as his colleague in the working of his parish.

One more survivor of the far past was Professor Farisb. I attended his Icctiu'es on Science
applied to the Arts, illustrated by instances. One was, I remember, the construction of a hat,
the material being fur clii)ped otf fnmi a rabl)it skin before tbe eyes of the spectiitors, and then
manipulate*! through all the necessary stages until at last a rudely shaped felt hat came into
view, requiring only to be duly dried and pressed. The interesting syllabus of I'rof. Farish'g
lectures I still have in my collection.

The Public Discourses of Prof. .1. J. Blunt, Hugh James Rose and Henry Melville were also
highly valued.

The Poetical Works of Henry Kirke White, also containing his Melancholy Hours. With a
memoir by Robert Southey and an introduction by Rev. John Twld. Boston : Phillips, Sampson
&Co., 1854.

The name and career of Henry Kirke White were very fresh in the public mind during
the time of m.v residence in Cambridge, from 1833-37. It so happened that the rooms
occupied by me in St. .lohti's College were those inhabited by Kirke White at the time of
his decease, and I frequently saw, pacing through the courts of the college, the venerable form
of the identic^d Mr. Catton, who is named iti Kirke White's memoirs as having so nobly aided
him in his studies. With Mr. Simeon, of King's College, who was also so active in his behalf, I
was, as stated before, personally accpiainted. Professor Smyth, too, the writer of the inscription
on Kirke White's monument, and author of the well-known Lectures on the French Revolution
which continiie to be re-printed, I used constantly to see in the streets. That inscription ran
as follows :—

" Warm with fond hope, and learning's sacred flame.
To Oranta's bowers the youthful Poet came ;
Unconquer'd powers, the inunortal mind displayed.
But worn with anxious thought the frame decay'd ;
Pale o'er bis lamj) anil in his cell retired.
The martyr student faded and expired.
O Qenius, Taste and Piety sincere.
Too early lost, midst duties too severe I
Foremost to mourn was generous Southey seen,
He told the tale and show'd what White had been.

Nor told in vain — far o'er th' Atlantic; wave,
A Wanderer came and soui,'hi the Poet's grave ;
On yon lo' • stone he saw his lonely name,
And raised this fond memorial to his fame."

"The Wanderer from o'er the Atlantic- Wave" was Mr. Krancis Boott, of Boston. This (fentle-
man on visitirij,' Canibridj^e was surprised to find the ttruve of Kirke White so inadei|uately
marked, and then obtained V)ermission to place at his own expense, on the wall of an adjoining^
church, a tablet commemorative of the youiif? poet. The church was All-.Saints, situate just
across the street opposite to the principal jfateway of St. .lohn's Colles^e (the tablet was after-
wards removed into the interior of the chapel of .St. .lohn's College, when the church of All-
Saints was taken down and its surroundinj; churchyard converted into a paved open space).
Lord Byron was deeply touched with the history and career of Kirke White. His fine; lines will
be remembi.'red.

" Unhappy White I while life was in its sprinir,
.Antl thy young nmsc just v aved her joyous wing.
The spoiler came ; and all thy i)romise fair
Has sought the grave, to sleep forever there.
Oh I what a noble heart was here undone,
When science self-destroyed her favourite son I
Yes, she too much indulged thy fond pursuit,
She sow'd the seeds, but Heath hius rea|)ed the fruit.
'Twas thine own genius gave the final blow,
.\nd hel]>ed to j)lant the wound that laid thee low :
So the struck eagle, stretched upon the i)lain,
No more through rollitig clouds to .soar again,
V'iew'd his own feutliers on that fatal dart,
Aiid winged the shaft that (juiver'd in his heart.
Keen were his i)angs ; but keener far to feel.
He nursed the pinion which impell'd the steel ;
While the same plumage that had warnuMl his nest,
Drank the last life-drops oi his bleeding breast."

With Kirke White I place a work by his friend, Capel LofTt, Endosia or a Poem on the
Universe. London : 1781.

Solutions of the Examples Api)ended to a Treati.se on the Motion of a Rigid B(j<iy, by W. N.
Griffin, B.l)., Fellow and Tutor of St. John's College, Caml)ridge. University Press, 1848 :

The author of this volume was the Senior Wrangler f>f his year. I was so fortunate as to accjuire
his friendship at St .lohn's, and was in t he habit of staying with him at his Vicarage on several
later visits to England. I transcribe from autograph letters of his a sentence or two, dated :

"This is about the time of year fifty-eight years ago when you and I were ' first accjuaint,

I dometinies think that there can never have been an equal space of time so full of momentous
events as the sixty years which you and 1 can trace since we began to be observers of men and
things about us. As for ('ambridge, what an extension the studies have taken, what a new
race of teachers, married men dwelling away from college, college lectures open to other
collejxes, oven to ladies I I have still confidence that the heart of Cambridge is sound, holding
the faith and maintaining good works, and that a stream of good men continues to flow out to

Again : "Thanks for your letter of the 13th January. It starts many recollections of those
with whom we lived and worked in those interesting three years of our lives at St. John's. Of
those you mention, the following have gone forward : Niven, Sharpe, Smalley, (Jurney, Martin,
Hudson, Oower. It was not our contemporary Bromby, I think, but his elder brother who was
a colonial bishop. I have lost sight of Hickman, Kennion, Urowne, Ramsden, Jeffreys.
Rrumell is in wonderfidly g.xxl case at his living of Holt. He and I were lately side by side in

college news, which speak to you and me of strangely changed times. Hymers died several
years ago. He went out of college to the living of Brander Caston, and there spent tVie rest
of his days in a very quiet way."

"The Eagle" here mentioned is a perio<Ucal devoted exclusively to Johnian affairs, taking
its title from the crest of St. John's College, an eagle, in allusion to the well-known painting of
St. .lohn the Evangelist by Domenichino. Its pages now contain an extended and very inter-
esting memoir of the writer of the i)receding extracts.

Two botanical works, one compiled from the manuscripts of Prof. Henslow, the other from
the pen of Churchill Babington. I well remember Prof. Henslow, and with Churchill Babington
I wius on one occasion brought into close relations. He, as a Fellow of St. John's, was the official
technically styled a Father, ajipointed by the college to guiile the candidates for the degree of
D.D., in regard to the recpiisite exercises and ceremonies, and also to introduce them to the
Heads of Houses, whose signatures were re(piire<l to be attached to each candidate's Sui>plicat.
It was while going my rounds for this iHirjujse, under his direction, that I had a memorable
interview with the famous Master of Trinity, Dr. Whewell.

This took place at the Master's Lodge, and I found the Doctor most complaisant and friendly,
and exhibiting an especial interest in a candidate for D. D. hailing from Canada.

Wordsworth's Apocalypse in Greek, with new translation,

This Christo])her Wordsworth was the son of Dr. Wordsworth and nephew of the poet
Wordsworth. The latter waa a member, not of Trinity, but of St. John's, where in the
Retiring room of the Fellows his portrait hangs by the side of that of Wilberforcc, Herschel,
Palmerston, Henry Martyn and others (for portraits of Johnian worthies generally, e.ff., Ben
•lonson. Lord Burleigh. Bentley, etc., see Beynon's Memorial of St. John's College, publishe<l a
few ycai-!' since at Cheltenham).

Christojiher Woi-dsworth, the author of the work 6n the Apocalypse, was conspicuous in my
time as the so-called Puhlii; Orator of the University, whose duty it was to present, with
appropriate compliments, to the Vi<'e-Chancellor, distinguished personages when honorary
degrees were conferred upon them. On such occasions I have often heanl him speak in the
Senate House. He was afterwai-ds Canon of Westminster and Bishop of Lincoln. He kindly
furnished me with a letter in the handwriting of his father for my collection, as also a Latin
version of the Collect for Cnity, by hiniself, with an autograph mem. to that effect.

I associate with this two original collects by a learned Professor well known in Toronto, the
Rev. James Beaven, and copied out for nie with his own hand. One of these, for " Friends and
Benefactors," 1 transcribe :—

"O Almighty God and Heavenly Father, we humbly beseech Thee to bless our relations,
friends and benefactors : watch over them with Thy never-failing providence, preserve them !■

Dr. Beaven wasi well know!! in Oxford rircles as the author of an account of the Life and
W' filings of 8t. Ireneus, Bishop of Lyon.s, and martyr; ))ul)lished in London, 1841. The mortal
remains of Dr. Beaven are deposited in .St. .Mark's churchyard at Niagara.

This little production procured for me a place in AUibone's Index and also the friendly reganis
of several Shakespeare writers and student.s, c//., .). I'a.vnc Collier, nalliwell-Phillips, Mr. and
Mrs. Cowden Clarke, H. H. Furnesa, etc. My ui'.togra\)h letter from the latter reads as
follows : —

"Absence from the city has alone caused my delay in acknowlwlging the receipt of your
very interesting little brochure anent Sliakcsi)eare. Accept my very hearty thaiiks therefor.
My only regret is that it does not contain the autograph of the author. If the new Variorum
edition of Shakespeare, of which the first volume will appear in a few weeks, should ever reach
the (locms, your |)luusible emendation in Sonnet 112 shall be duly recorded."

Mr. Kurness a(!knowledged a second emendation as follows :—

" .Many thanks for your mindfulness of me in sending the No. of (!anadian .lounial which
contains your e\(^eedingly interesting article in Krrata Uecepta. I am very sorry that I ncv-?r
saw it before. It is to be regretted that your ingenious emendation of "Runaway's Kyes"
iloes not appear in the new Variorum "Romeo and Juliet," where it certainly deserves an
honourable place. It and you shall certainly receive due honour in the second edition.
Doesn't the evanescent nature of Magazine literature often strike you with sorrow'.' It does
me. To be sure ' litera scripta manet.' But valuable, learned articles seem so often buried
away out of sight, left for the chance literary jjlough of some future ages to ear."

The Bowdlerized Shakesv)eare is memorable. It was an expurgated Shakespeare for family
reading. The two volumes of Bowdler's remains in my collection are from the pen of a
Bowdler closely connected with the editor of this improved Shakespeare, as may be seen by
a series of Strictures dated 1808, contained in these volumes, boldly criticising iwherse articles
in the reviews of the day on the subject of the family Shakespeare.

The poet D'Avenant was Shakespeare's god-son. I lighted on my copy of (iondibert at
Oxford in 1867. "Gondibert, an heroic poem, by Sir Williani D'Avenant. London : 1051."

Literally speaking, I am always wandering here and there from my rooms in Covent tiarden,
London, now about the city street, now about the country by-roads, seeing many little things
and some great things, which, because they interest me, I thick may interest others."

One of my autographs of Charles Dickens has reference to his " I ncommercial Traveller."
It runs as follows :— " Is my UniJonunercial re\ ise ready ' I shall be gLvl to speak with you for

The New Testament in Greek. Samuel Bagster's miniature or so-called Poljmicrian ed:tion,
1829. "In vico vulgo dicto," Paternoster Row. On an engraved f ronti8|>iece are the words
' The .New Testament," in 48 ditferent languages, each represented in its proper character or
letter Ijpe. At the bottom of the title-page is the Latin line, " .Multae terricolis linguae,
coelestibus una," accompanied by a lint? in (Jreek to the same elTect, vi/.., " PoUai men timet )is
glottal, miad, athanatoisi," "Among mortals are many tongues, but one alone among the
immortals." The Pollai glottal suggested to the publisher, Bagster, the title Polly-glot given
to his well known larger edition of the Holy Scriptures in various languages. With the I'oly-
niicrian Greek Testament here shewn is placed the English Polymicrian Testament of the same
series.
