AN ITEM OF EXCESSIVE RARITY, AND OF INTEREST TO ALL COLLECTORS AND
LIBRARIANs. APPARENTLY THE FIRST COPY TO APPEAR IN EITHER THE AMER-
ICAN OR ENGLISHI AUCTION MARTS. -
The text of the present copy, with the exception of the minor defect
noted above, is in exceptionally sound COndition.
Regarding this work, Sabin's Dictionary thus states:—
“A German translation by Michael Herr ; it is less known and much
rarer than the Original. Although it has no map, it has, on the other
hand, the merit Of being augmented in the text. It contains a full
translation of Peter Martyr's Decades, leaf 174-229, and also his books
“De Legatione Babylonica,” 235-24S, both wanting in all the different
Latin editions ; besides it Contains all the pieces of the first Latin edition
of 1532, except Munster’s “Introductio in tabulam geograph,” to which
the map belongs, and WOuld therefore, have been Superfluous in this
edition. The preface by Grynaeus is omitted, but a new one by the
translator, Michael Herr, is added. It is Curious that none of these
differences have been noted by Harrisse.” See Bibliotheca Americana

his son, at School in Charlotteville—but more probably for the purpose
Of obtaining all the information he could, relative to Our position &
forces, to COmmunicate to his friend, Mr. Lincoln, whose family physician
I am informed he is—I would respectfully advise that he should be kept

Clellan is aware that we could neutralize his expedition by a bold move
across the Potomac & then on to Washington which would then be at
Our mercy. We can afford to lose even Richmond—but they cannot
Washington & Maryland . . . But we must look out for less important
expeditions such as the destruction of the Batteries at Aquia Creek .
I have Ordered Col. Hampton to effect that diversion on the Potomac
above you—but I think he ought not to awaken their suspicion by show-
ing himself too SOOn . . . .”

Britain, On complaint Of shipowners because Of the prosecutions by friends
of the above-mentioned Bond-Servants. Contains five articles, citing
methods to be employed by shipowners, when employing or hiring
servants, which if followed out, will cause all suits to be stopped.
An item Of more than usual interest to American Collectors, as the
white persons, bound to service, formed an important element in many
colonies, especially in Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia. Most of
those employed in Pennsylvania were Redemptioneers, who bound them-
selves to pay their expenses from their old home to the New World ;
while those in Maryland and Virginia were mostly convicts bound to
serve for a long term of years, and were objects of much aversion to
the settlers of those parts.

Outline drawings and first inspirations by George Cruikshank of some
of his well-known book-illustrations, such as “The Bottle,” “Comic Al-
manack,” “Temperance Pieces,” “Sketches by Boz,” and others as well
as manuscript notes by Cruikshank jotted down by him in idle moments.
These sketches and notes were made on odd leaves of note paper, let-
ters and envelopes, Consequently many of the sheets are letters, or por-
tions of letters addressed to him. This collection is made additionally
interesting because of the fact that so many bear the Autograph Sig-
nature of the artist. § -

ton ; Wallack; Mme. Vestris, and many others, some of whom were
concerned in the Maria Foote affair. The plates, all in perfect con-

In 1695, Mr. Paterson, an obscure Scotsman, convinced that there
were lands on the Isthmus of Panama not claimed by the Spaniards,
conceived the plan of forming a Scotch Trading Company in the West
Indies, with a permanent colony at Darien. Together with noted
Scotsmen he obtained a charter from the Crown, which owing to the
jealousy of the English traders was later repealed. The settlement which
in the meantime had been started, not receiving the Support of the
Crown, finally succumbed to the Spanish colonists.

accompanies such a fine copy of “The Clock.” This artist made but
two sets of extra illustrations for Dickens' writings, “Pickwick” and
“Master Humphrey’s Clock.” The set of Sibson Etchings is unquestion-
ably the best independent series of illustrations to Dickens ever pub-

ent copy, are rightfully regarded as equal to the best efforts Of Seymour,
‘Phiz,’ and Cruikshank in the same direction.

DRED AND FORTY-NINE ORIGINAL CHARACTER STUDIES, illustrating

(CLAYTON CLARK). Each drawing executed on a large quarto sheet
of cartridge paper, with a colored and illustrated general title-page,

drawings, all executed by “Kyd.” The whole preserved in six
specially made book-shaped cloth cases, each with an inner pro-
tecting cover, and lettered. (London, 1885-1889)
THE MOST IMPORTANT SERIES OF DRAWINGS BY “KYD” TO ILLUSTRATE THE
WRITINGS OF DICKENS THAT HAS BEEN OFFERED FOR SALE. A. born lover
of Dickens, “Kyd” has so steeped himself in his writings, and so thor-
oughly grasped the true Dickensian spirit that he seems to represent
absolutely the characters as Dickens had them in his mind, giving
form and feature to practically every one in the whole series of Dick-
ens' writings, and proving “Kyd” to be almost as prolific and versatile
as Dickens himself.
This unique collection would be admirably adapted to extra-illustrat-
ing any of the good library editions of Dickens as the water-colors
themselves are of a suitable size for an octave volume, and the book
in which each character appears is inscribed on the drawing.
Laid in is a one page 4to. autograph letter of the artist, regarding
the drawings, in which he states that the foregoing collection “. . . . is

OT (GEORGE). A SERIES OF SEVEN AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED,
“M. E. LEWES” being correspondence addressed to Mr. Deutsch,
either from Germany, where she was in August, 1867, or from the
Priory, North Bank, Regents Park, from August 13, 1867, to, and
including, September 14, 1870. Three of the letters are not dated,
but were probably written between these periods. The letters lightly
hinged on paper, within pen-and-ink borders, each leaf guarded,
and the whole bound in a small 4to. volume of red morocco, con-
tents lettered on the side and back. In a cloth case.
THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT SERIES OF AUTOGRAPH LETTERs, by the author
Of “Adam Bede” was written to Mr. Deutsch, about whom she wrote in
her journal on November 22, 1867. “. . . The author of the glorious
article on the Talmud is “that bright little man,” Mr. Deutsch—a very
dear, delightful creature.” They comprise 24 pages, and are of inti-
mate perSOnal interest. Some extracts from them follow :
“Here we are among our beloved pine forests, renewing past joys—
& we like this so well that we do not think of journeying onward till
the 20th. Probably on the 22d we shall be at Dresden, so will you please
address your (promised) precious packet to me at the Poste Restante
there?”

“May it be long before you go thither in the mysterious boat & make
it heavy with the invisible weight of your soul | Also pray send me any
Word you Can about Our friend Mrs. F. Lehmann.
Mr. Lewes unites in begging you to accept our kind regards,”

“See how I take it on me to tell you our duty . But as a German you
are bound to be reverent to rather silly old women & take them for
prophetesses.

“We have been thinking of you much since you parted from us yes-
terday, & have made Ourselves all the more indignant at the buzzing &
stinging which is tormenting you. I beseech you not to battle with it.
Escape from it—mentally, I mean, by working steadily without refer-
ence to any temporary Chit-Chat, whether Silly, ignorant, Or Curious.
Of course the noise of admiration is always half of it contemptible in its
quality, & as besotting as bad wine if a man lets himself take too much
of it. . And the spite, the head-shaking, the depreciation that comes as a
consequence, are the muddiest reflux of muddy Waters.
Get rid of it all by a huge effort of will, & don’t run the risk of being
maddened by insect stings. Let your articles be what they please—are
you accountable to the World for the fuss they have made about it?”

“It has been a painful thought to me that we should have told you
we wavered & almost wished you had gone away from this Bable. It
was a sort of figure in Mr. Lewes' speech last night; he only meant to
impress on you his sense of the need that you should keep yourself in
calm air. You do not believe that we can help, beneath all, rejoicing
that you have not gone on that frightfully uncertain journey.”

“Mr. Lewes was in Sad Condition when he set Out again in Search of
health, but he is very well now & can make his mornings interesting by
revising his Hist. of Philosophy without feeling himself helpless for the
rest of the day. Several hours are filled for us by reading & talk about
the war, & for a still longer time we think & dream of it. I suppose
you have been to Breslau & have seen & heard much of German feeling,
action, & alas, suffering. One can only hope that this is not the mere
beginning of sorrows.

581. IRVING (WASHINGTON). ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT NOTES AND THE
ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF AN UNFINISHED AND UNIPUBLISHED
SKETCH ENTITLED “POLLY HOLLMAN’s WEDDING,” WRITTEN ON BOTH
SIDES OF 23 OCTAvo PAGES OF WHITE PAPER, UNSIGNED. Hinged on
cardboard and enclosed in a neat cloth case, lettered.
Circa 1830–1832
A WASHINGTON IRVING MANUSCRIPT OF MORE THAN USUAL INTEREST FROM
A COLLECTION OF MANUSCRIPTS LEFT BY WASHINGTON IRVING TO HIS
NEPHEW AND BIOGRAPHER, PIERRE M. IRVING, AND PRESENTED BY THE LATTER
TO THE PRESENT OWNER, A DIRECT DESCENDANT OF THE AUTHOR.
Of the 23 pages here offered, 21 pages comprise the ORIGINAL NOTES of
the sketch, “Polly Holman's Wedding,” the scene of which has been laid
in the early years of the last century, an évidence of which fact being the
date “1805” at the left top corner of page 1 of the Notes, made, prob-
ably, during the years 1830-1832, about the period Irving made a tour
of the West, including the Pawnee Country, and where he quite likely
found the material for the Sketch here described.
The paper on which the Notes are penned is gilt-edged, differing, it will
be seen, from the three sheets Of paper used by the author at a later
period for the reconstruction of the sketch, the entire rewritten portion
Of which is here reproduced :—
“I first became acquainted with old Holman in 1800. He then lived
On the Prairies near Big Clifty, which is a branch Of . . . . , which is
a branch of Green River. I was riding along in the evening not knowing
where I should put up for the night when I came by Holman’s farm and
saw a fine buxom black-eyed girl trying to milk a COW, but pestered by
the calf. I got off my horse, jumped into the COW-pen, took hold Of a
rope tied to the foot of the Calf and drew it away. The young girl
blushed and giggled and went on with her milking. By and bye I heard
a loud rough voice,—
“Hello, stranger, who are you? Polly, who have you got there?'
I answered,—‘Me.”
“And who the deuce are you?”
“I’m just a traveller, who saw the calf was bothering the young Woman,
and thought I’d draw it off until she had done milking . . . '
Since the presentation of this manuscript to the present Owner, it has
remained in a safe-deposit Vault until its withdrawal therefrom for
preparation for present sale. As Will be gleaned from a perusal Of the
Notes and the unfinished rewritten sketch itself, the incidents incor-
porated are of considerable humor, and had they been turned into the
finished literary product as Washington Irving had commenced to turn
them, the completed sketch would certainly have found a place of perma-
nency among his writings in collected form.

thousands of acres still remained in the hands of the Boards of East
and West Jersey, and at the mercy and greed of owners which became
So great by 1743, that the Legislature passed an act prohibiting the com-
mon practice of Stealing timber, and forbidding its exportation to neigh-
boring Colonies. An act passed in 1743 laying duties on logs, was applic-
able to the Eastern division of the Province. The present Act passed in
1759, prohibited the unlawful cutting of timber, but did not affect the per-
SOns Settled Within the boundaries of Elizabeth-Town Purchase and the
Newark Purchase, who were at this time Plaintiffs or Defendants in any
Bill in the High Court of Chancery of New Jersey, in respect to any
Timber Lands.

To this paper, which was edited by William Livingston, many noted
men Of the day contributed articles, Livingston himself wrote a series
of letters in which he vigorously opposed the establishment of an Ameri-
can Episcopate, and the incorporation of an Episcopal College in New
York (the first attempt at founding what to-day is Columbia College).
Among the others who are said to have contributed to its pages were,
Aaron Burr, President of New Jersey College, John M. Scott, William
Alexander, known afterwards as Lord Sterling, and William Smith, who
died While Chief-Justice Of Canada.
The paper was published every Thursday, and COntained moral and
political essays, but no news ; its attacks On men in power, by members
of a literary society in and around New York ultimately gave much
Offence, and at the end of the year James Parker, refused to issue it,
and as no other printer in New York dared to undertake the printing
On account Of its severe attacks, the publication was suspended.
Among other articles which these numbers contain are the following,<-
The abuses Of the Road and City Watch ; Of the Importation of Men-
dicant Foreigners; A Windication of the Moravians; A brief consideration
of New York with respect to its natural advantages ; Abuses in the
practice Of Law ; and many other interesting Contributions.
The four numbers of “The Occasional Reverberator” which accom-
pany this volume, are exceedingly Scarce. Evans mentions but One known
Copy, giving Collation as 8pp, whereas there are 16pp. in all.
Accompanying this volume are two letters relating to the same, One
from John B. Clark, and the other from W. C. Edgar, editor of “The
Bellman,” Minneapolis, with clipping from this paper relating to the
above WOrk.

Hundred Thousand Pounds Sterling in British and Asiatick Manufactures
annually.” His remarks regarding the Paper Emissions in New York, are

A REMARKABLE MANUSCRIPT OF A CRITIQUE, writtEN BY PoE FOR PUB-
LICATION IN HIS “IJITERATI,” contributed from month to month to “The
Southern Literary Messenger,” in which he praises very extravagantly
“The Forsaken,” one of the best known poems of Estelle Anna Lewis. At
that time Miss Lewis, who Lamartine has called the “Female Plutarch,”
and Poe “the rival of Sappho" was still in her 'teens.
“The Forsaken,” of which a complete transcript in the autograph of,
and signed by, Estelle Anna Lewis is with the Poe manuscript, was
included among the minor poems in the “Records of the Heart” (New
York, 1840), which Poe reviewed.
It was not Often that Poe bestowed such unstinted praise On the work
Fourth Session, Thursday Evening, April 6th
[No. 860—Continued]
Of another writer as in this case of Miss Lewis. Names greater by far
#. hers in American literature often felt the keen edge of his critical
D.II62.
The manuscript in part is as follows:
“Among the minor poems of “The Records' are several of exquisite
pathos, Subservient to a very forcible yet very refined and delicate
fancy—or more properly, imagination. We must be permitted to ex-
emplify Our meaning by the citation of “The Forsaken’—a poem, which,
in its peculiar Way, is not excelled, if equalled, by any composition, of
similar length, which has ever been written by an American. There
is about it a dreamy—a voluptuous melancholy—a simple, passionate and
Sensuous expression of sorrow which is perfectly irresistible:
THE FORSAIKEN.
“‘It hath been said for all who die
There is a tear ;
Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh
O'er every bier :
But in that hour Of pain and dread
Who Will draw near
Around my humble couch and shed
One farewell tear?
Could I but know when I am sleeping
Low in the ground,
One faithful heart would there be keeping
Watch all night round,
As if some gem lay shrined beneath
That sod’s cold gloom, O
'T would mitigate the pangs of Death,
And light the tomb.”
“The great charm of this truly beautiful poem is the exquisite and
unaffected naturalness of its thought. It is on this account that the
sternest heart will be moved by it—even to tears.”

A long humorous poem On the troubles in Rhode Island, arising Out of
the election of Thomas W. Dorr to the Governorship of the State under

then released by an act Of amnesty.
The above poem is a long tirade against the enemies of Dorr, and
closes with the following lines,
“When tyrants moulder in the dust,
His name shall live among the just.
And when his sum in glory sets,
His memory like the good Fayette’s,
Will be revered by every clime,
Where Liberty’s a right divine.”

Italians off Lissa. As said above , the first encounter
between iron-clads was that between the MONITOR and MERRIMAC,
both genuine iron-clads. This fight marked a revolution in
naval warfare as complete as the revolution which separated
the era of row galleys and hand-tº-hand fighting from the
era of sailing ships which relied mainly on their artillery.
Of less importance, ... ..., , , of great importance, was the
fight off Lissa, inasmuch as it was the first in which
squadrons of iron-clads took part against one another; and
the Weaker fleet won, Tegetthoff with his own flagship,
an iron-clad , sinking one of the heaviest Italian iron-
clads.
The HUASCAR, like all the early armored ships, was
clad in iron; but modern armored vessels are sheathed in
steel. &cº-ºº-ºº: *** *-* , , -º-2 &--~…~ 2: …

* * As yet the great modern navies are in the experimental
stage, just as the sailing navies of the Seventeenth Century
were in the experimental stage. When DeRuyter and Tromp
fought Blake and Monk the fleets on both sides consisted of
all kinds of vessels, all of which took part in the melee.
custºn. had not crystalized the distinction between line-of-
battleships and frigates; indeed there were no hard-and-fast,
lines between the different classes of ships. Nowadays also
it is difficult to draw exact lines of demarkation among
the multitudinous classes of ships, for every great nation
has experimented with exceptional types of craft, and every
great nation is apt to build along its own particular lines,

“FIGHTS BETWEEN IRON-CLADS,” as sent to the “Century Maga-
zine” in typewritten form, with numerous corrections in the auto-
graph of, and SIGNED BY, THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
This essay is interesting not alone as the work of an American Presi-
dent, who is at the Same time an, Americalm historian, but also that
by reason Of its subject matter and its account of various classes of
battleships, (among which ROOSevelt mentions the English cruisers Power-
ful and Terrible,) it comes into direct relationship with present phases
Of the War in Europe. In the last paragraph, there is reference to the
new ships building for the German navy, ships which now, of course,
are playing a Waiting role in the War. *
The essay is inlaid With frontispiece portrait of Roosevelt, and en-
gravings of the Monitor and the Merrimac, into a full blue levant volume,
the front COver Of Which has a panel Of white levant surrounded by a
border of red levant, thus suggesting the colors of the American flag.

STEVENSON'S OWN COPY, WITH MANY MARGINAL PENCILINGS, CROSS-REFER-

Vol. I. has his bookplate, with signature of Isobel Strong. Among the
interesting comments is one on Napoleon, whose great genius, Stevenson
refers to as being clouded by “vanity and the habit of success.” All
the volumes show the thorough perusal Stevenson gave to them, in
Order to obtain information for his projected Work On the ILife Of
Wellington.
The following notice appears in Balfour's Life of Stevenson, “Soon
afterwards (1881) he (Stevenson) successfully concluded negotiations
for a Life of Wellington, which he was commissioned to write for the
series of “English Worthies edited by Andrew Lang.” The military
genius of the great strategist had long dazzled Stevenson, who had also
been deeply fascinated by the study of his character.”

1016. Sw1NBURNE (ALGERNoN CHARLEs). THE COMPLETE ORIGIN%L MANU-
SCRIPT OF THE DEDICATORY POEM FOR THE THIRD SERIES OF POEMS
AND BALLADs. Inlaid into seven pages, and bound with a signed
proof of S. Hollyer's portrait etching of Swinburne, and the Hollyer
reproduction of Dante Gabrielle Rossetti’s portrait of Swinburne,
into a full blue levant volume, specially tooled with inlaid wreath
of holly.
Obvious is the importance of this poem, as the dedication for one of
Swinburne's most famous volumes; but apart from this manifest im-
portance, the poem is of unquestioned interest for the student of Swin-
burne. Dedicated to his friend, William Bell Scott, it takes rank among
those poems Of friendship and admiration, in which Swinburne showed
his nature at its best. Both in metre, melody and metaphor, the poem is
characteristic. It may be specially noted that the concluding verse ends
with a reference to the Sea. Swinburne finishes so many of his poems
with mention of the Sea or some sea imagery, that the theory has been
advanced that this was a GOnScious act On his part, a tribute to the
wonder and the beauty of the sea from One who was ever its passionate
admirer.
The Manuscript shows numerous corrections in Swinburne's autograph,
the changed lines or words being, however, so stricken out that the
Original words are readily deciphered, thus affording the student the
opportunity to see Swinburne's famous poem in its original form as
well as in the shape in which it appears in print.

forensic essay entitled,—“The opinions of Dymond and Mrs. Opie
respecting the general obligation to tell the truth; are the sound
and applicable? Wide Dymond's Essays on Morality—and Mrs.
Opie's Illustrations of Lying.”
AN UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT, written by Thoreau at the age of twenty,
in his Senior year at Harvard University ; a typewritten note, dated,
XOncord, February 18, 1897, on the last page, certifies to this manuscript
having been given by Thoreau to a friend, On condition that the same was
never to be published.
The following are excerpts taking from this remarkable manuscript,
tending to illustrate the writer’s thoughts in connection with his defini-
tion Of “what is a lie?”—“ . . . . We are to bear in mind. that whether
the term is to be understood in a good or a bad sense, must depend upon
the definition assigned it. As here used, it is altogether arbitrary. Mr.
Dymond does not tell us that this or that is a lie . . . let us inquire first,
Whether a man may, under any concurable circumstances, tell a lie with-
Out the infraction of the moral law. May we not lie to a robber, in
order to preserve our property? . . . To lie, we will say, is to “utter what
is true when the speaker professes to utter truth, or when he knows it
is expected by the hearer.”
TO lie then, in this sense, would be immoral, because to murder, with
the same view, would be immoral. It is the similarity of purpose, and
not Of means, which COnstitutes the immorality in this case. The method
Of reasoning amounts, in fact, to a manifest petitio principis.
But further, may we not tell a falsehood to a madman for his Own
advantage? Dymond’s answer amounts to this. It would not be for
his advantage, and hence would it be morally wrong to Commit so

egregious a blunder. . . . If, On the Other hand, these are lies, if the
speaker “utters what is untrue when he professes to utter truth, or when
he knows it is expected by the hearer,” his conduct is certainly to be.
Condemned.
As for those Cases in which it is impossible to be deceived—the compli-
ments which bring up the rear in a dedication or epistle, we can at best.
Say no good Of them.

A highly commendatory review of the work of Celia Thaxter's, “The
Wreck of the Pocahontas,” and of the Poems by Lucy Larcom, and other
writers whoge literary contributions up to this time consisted of articles
in periodicals Only.
“The last Atlantic Monthly has for its second article, a poem of singular
power entitled “The Wreck of the Pocahontas.” It is from the pen of
Celia Thaxter who saw what she so well describes, when a child living
On the little rock Of White Island. It is a little remarkable that some
Of the best contributions to Our periodical literature, are made by writers
who have never had the good or ill fortune to publish a book, and whose
names are not included in the guild of authorship. The Atlantic . e
has had nothing better than such poems as ‘Hilary’ & ‘Skipper Ben' by
Lucy Larcom, and the prose story of “The Tenth of January,” by Eliza-
beth Stuart Phelps . . . .”
The letter transmitting the above Manuscript reads as follows, “I
hope thee will give thy readers the Poem referred to above, as, apart from
its great merit it has a strong local interest. If so, perhaps it might be
printed in commeasion with my mote above.”
