 2 ANTIPHONARY. MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, 
 
 i i-J by 8 J inches, by a German scribe of the second half of the 
 fifteenth century, with numerous initials in red and blue, in- 
 cluding one historiated with a picture of the Maries at the 
 Sepulchre. In the margins surrounding the anthem for the 
 Dedication of a Church there is a spirited drawing of "Jacobs 
 vision of the Angels ascending a ladder to Heaven. The style 
 of this drawing, as well as that of the binding, is suggestive 
 of Nuremberg. The condition of the volume is astonishingly 
 fresh. The margins are clean throughout and the binding 
 of stamped leather is so well preserved as to appear almost 
 new. It is protected with metal corners, and has clasps 
 of great beauty and elaboration, bearing the date Anno dni 
 1515. In a morocco case. At the beginning and end two 
 early devotional drawings are inserted, and on the verso of 
 fol. 152 there is a well-preserved PASTE ENGRAVING 
 representing St. Christopher. Engravings of this character

 are of the utmost rarity. There is only one example in the

 4 BARHAM (R. H.) The Ingoldsby Legends. The

 Leech, Buss, etc. 3 vols. Together with the Second 
 Edition of the First Series. 4 vols., 8vo, original cloth, 
 26. London: Benf/ey, 1840-47. 
 
 EARLIEST ISSUE OF ALL THREE SERIES ; with the Second 
 Edition of the First Series, in which a new Preface first appears. With 
 an autograph letter from the Author to Miss A&on, referring to the work 
 M . . . the legend you were kind enough to send me ... is a capital one, 
 with an excellent moral at its tail and I shall certainly endeavour to turn 
 it to account as soon as I can shake off the fit of laziness which has grown 
 upon me of late and seems to become more inveterate every day. The 
 fa<5t is that since Bentley and I have shaken hands and parted I have not 
 the same inducement to work, as one principal motive for doing so 
 previously was a desire to help a periodical which I had been instrumental 
 in bringing into existence, & from which I only retired upon the principle 
 of the well-bred dog who always walks downstairs the moment he suspects 
 preparations are making for kicking him into the street. With many 
 thanks for your kindness, which together with the double terms offered by 
 Mr. Colburn, may induce me to take a fresh start towards a third volume." 
 (Dated) "The Residentiary House, St. Paul's. Novr. I4th 1844." (Signed)

 10 BIBLIA SACRA LATINA. MANUSCRIPT ON 
 
 VELLUM, 5^ by 3-^ inches, written in double columns 
 
 of 54 lines, probably in Northern France ', about the middle of 
 
 the thirteenth century. The initial to Genesis contains a tall 
 
 figure of Christ holding a book in His left hand and with His 
 
 right hand raised in beneditJion. Under His feet, as in the 
 well-known sculpture of the central porch of Amiens Cathe- 
 dral, are three lions and a dragon, an allusion to the Scriptural 
 prophecy " Inculcabis super leonem et aspidem." This is an 
 unusual treatment. Opposite the first page of the Psalter 
 there is a beautiful little picture of the Crucifixion, which is 
 also very unusual. The other large initials, of which there 
 are 8 1 , are painted in various colours, but are not above the 
 average of those found in the small Bibles of this period. 
 The initials to the chapters are alternately red and blue, with 
 good penwork flourishes. Morocco, gilt back and edges.

 17 BREVIARIUM ECCLESIAE PARISIENSIS. 
 MANUSCRIPT BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN IN 
 GOTHIC LETTERS ON VERY FINE VELLUM. 
 
 1,487 pages, in double-columns, 28 lines to a full column, 
 size j$by 5 A inches ; ornamented with 15 elaborate borders, 
 35 initial letters, 15 historiated with miniatures, and very 
 numerous capitals exquisitely illuminated in gold and colours. 
 Thick small 4to, in a sixteenth-century calf binding, with 
 the sides stamped with rich gold ornament, having as 
 centrepieces the Crucifixion on one side, and the Infant 
 Christ on the other, with the double initial YY or ^A at 
 intervals along the border. 220. Circa 1380. 
 
 The fine chequered backgrounds in the historiated letters, and the 
 minute miniatures, mark the date of the manuscript. There is an 
 "Ordinatio de festivitatibus " in which the Easters of 1324, 1327, 1329, 
 [SS^j 1362, 1367, and 1372 are the starting points of the final paragraphs. 
 Therefore the manuscript was written probably about 1 380. The Calendar

 is especially of a Parisian chara&er, and embraces a considerable number 
 of entries of liturgical interest. 
 
 1 8 BRONTE (Charlotte) Shirley, a Tale. 3 vols., crown 
 8vo, original cloth. 48- 
 
 London : Smith Elder G? Co., 1849. 
 
 FIRST EDITION. Fine copy. WITH 8 LONG AUTOGRAPH 
 LETTERS FROM THE AUTHOR, relating to her "Poems," "Jane 
 Eyre" " Wuthering Heights" and " Agnes Grey" but more especially to 
 " Shirley" and her sister Emily. These letters, which occupy 29 closely 
 written 8vo pages, were written between January, 1848, and November, 
 1850, and are addressed to Ellen Nussey, W. S. Williams, and to an 
 unknown critic, "K. T." Three of the letters are written in the masculine 
 gender and signed " Currer Bell," four are signed "C. Bronte" and one 
 C. B." 
 
 It is impossible in the limited space of a catalogue description, to give 
 an adequate idea of the interest, both literary and personal, of these letters, 
 some of which are unpublished, and others of which only partly so. A few 
 short extracts will have to suffice. "... Jane Eyre now seems adopted 
 by the Public, and I sometimes think has more than its share of favour, 
 but I will own to you that whoever could give me some idea of the first 
 impression usually produced by Shirley on unbiassed minds would be doing 
 me a kindness. . . . Shirley it would seem has not been a general favourite, 
 of the reason of its comparative failure I have not a clear idea. Tell 
 me ... where the disappointment lay, whether in the narrative, the 
 characters, or both. . . . Often have I been puzzled to know what Shirley 
 really was like. . . . The Notice in the c Revue de deux Mondes' is one of 
 the most able, the most acceptable to the author of any that has yet appeared. 
 Eugene Forcede understood and enjoyed Jane Eyre, and such evidence of 
 success would have excited an almost exulting feeling. . . . Wildfell Hall 
 hardly appears to me desirable to preserve. The choice of subjedt in that 
 work is a mistake it was too little consonant with the character, tastes and 
 ideas of the gentle,retiring,inexperienced writer. Shewrote it under a strange 
 conscientious, half-ascetic notion of accomplishing a painful penance and 
 a severe duty. Blameless in deed and almost in thought, there was from 
 her very childhood a tinge of religious melancholy in her mind this I 
 ever suspected, and I have found amongst her papers mournfull proofs that 
 such was the case. . . ."

 FIRST EDITION. With 6 AUTOGRAPH LETTERS FROM 
 CHARLES DICKENS TO JOHN OVERS, written between February, 
 1840, and March, 1841. These fine and characteristic letters (14 pages, 
 8vo) are all on literary matters, being Diclcens's criticisms and suggestions 
 upon the MSS. sent to him by Overs. ..." The idea of the nightcap 
 is a good one and capable of much, I think, but it is not very natural 
 though it may be true. Neither do I think that the closing passage about 
 the woman produces its effect, for this one reason, you cannot interest 
 your readers in any character unless you have first made them hate or like 
 him. This is an utterly insignificant fellow, so much so that ... I 
 object on principle to making Wat such a thorough-paced villain, because 
 a rebel on such grounds has a certain claim to our sympathy and I feel 
 if I had lived in his time I should have been very likely to have knocked 
 out the collector's brains myself. . . . Beware of writing things for the 
 eyes of everybody what you would feel the smallest delicacy in saying any- 
 where. . . ." All dated from Devonshire Terrace and signed in full. 
 The letters bound in cloth case and both volumes inclosed in morocco 
 case.

 67 GRATIANI DECRETUM CUM APPARATU. 
 MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, ijbyii inches, written 
 in Italy at the end of the thirteenth century, and illuminated, 
 probably in the East of England, early in the fourteenth century. 
 There are twenty-two pictured subjects on backgrounds of red 
 and blue diaper. The Jirst six (on the jirst page] represent 
 the Creation and Fall of Man and his Expulsion from 
 Paradise. The last four illustrate the section on the Consecra- 
 tion of a Church. The remaining twelve (four on a page] 
 are devoted to the legal cases described in the text. The 
 initials are typically English, but in some parts of the book 
 not only the initials but the rubrics and commentary have been 
 omitted, with the result that the two columns of text appear in 
 these portions with the noble margins white and undisturbed. 
 The names of various early owners have been obliterated 
 from the final fly-leaf, but could probably be revived by 
 the application of acid. The binding has been rebacked 
 with russia, the sides being stamped pigskin of the six- 
 teenth century, with panels representing Martin Luther 
 and various Prophets and Virtues, in a perfect state of pre- 
 servation. In morocco pull-off case. X^S -

 A choice, clean and large copy, with rough leaves, and with the wood- 
 cuts entirely free from colouring. The number of leaves agrees with that 
 in Mr. Macfarlane's description (No. 236), taken from the only other copy 
 recorded, which is in the Bibliothtque Nationale at Paris ; and that copy 
 (on vellum) is imperfect, and has the borders so badly painted that the 
 designs cannot be distinguished.

 79 HORAE B.V.M. (Roman use), Penitential Psalms, Hours

 VELLUM, 6^ by 4-^ inches, by an Italian scribe of the 
 beginning of the sixteenth century, 'with pictures and decora- 
 tions of the highest style of the period. In the Kalendar, 
 which is Franciscan, there are not only representations of the 
 Signs of the Zodiac and the Occupations of the Months drawn 
 with the utmost delicacy, but there are also in seven of the 
 months exquisite allegorical figures of the planets seated in cars 
 drawn by various birds and beasts. The Hours of the Fir gin 
 open with an elaborate picture of the Annunciation, and below 
 it of the Fall of Man. The Arms of the original owner are 
 painted on this page and are repeated in other parts of the 
 book. Other large pictures are of David, the Crucifixion and 
 Death, besides which there are various smaller pictures, 
 borders and initials, all the work of an artist or artists of 
 superlative skill. The writing is Roman and very good, and 
 the margins are spotlessly clean. Black fish skin. Sold.

 a more richly decorated volume, as the margins are covered 
 'with branching ornament and with an infinitude of figures, 
 birds, beasts, drolleries, etc. There are besides quantities of 
 initials in gold and colours, a large proportion of which 
 contain heads of men and animals. The first leaf of the text 
 has been removed, but there are pictures of the Nativity, the 
 Message to the Shepherds, the Adoration of the Magi, the Pre- 
 sentation, the Flight into Egypt, the Harrowing of Hell, and 
 Service for the Dead in Choir, the last subject being repeated 
 for the " Commendationes Animarum." These picJures are 
 under rich Gothic arcading on backgrounds of burnished gold 
 and red and blue diaper. Associated with most of them a 
 lady, no doubt the original owner of the book, kneels in 
 the margins. The use of the feminine form peccatrix in 
 some of the prayers is further proof that the book was 
 written for a lady. The Kalendar, which is adorned 
 with pictures of the Labours of the Months and the 
 Signs of the Zodiac, under elaborate Gothic arches and 
 pinnacles, points to S. Omer near Calais as the place of 
 its execution. On June 8 we find Translatio S. Audomari, 
 on Sept. 9 and 16 Depositio S. Audomari and its octave, 
 on Oct. 21 Inventw S. Audomari, and on Oct. 17 Dedicatio 
 ecclesie S. Audomari. A rubric on fol. 66 shows the date 
 to be after 1318, but the style of the ornament proclaims 
 it to be but a few years later. Books of Hours of this 
 early period are rarely met with. The use appears to be 
 identical with that of Terouanne. Bound in purple calf.

 FIFTEENTH CENTURY. The place of its execution 
 was no doubt Bruges. The writing appears to be by an 
 Italian hand, the decoration being Flemish. There are thirteen 
 miniatures of unusual beauty, representing the Annunciation, 
 the Visitation, the Nativity, the Shepherds, the Adoration of 
 the Magi, the Presentation, the Flight into Egypt, the 
 Coronation of the Virgin, the Vigils of the Dead, David in 
 Penitence, the Crucifixion, Pentecost, and the Virgin and 
 Child adored by an Angel. These are all executed in a 
 manner approaching grisaille, and are inclosed in borders of 
 neutral tints, heightened with gold, the figures and ornament 
 being very delicately drawn. Among the invocations in 
 the Litany is one to St. Nicholas of Tolentino, and a few 
 words on a blank leaf prove the book to have been early 
 in Italy. Bound in black fish skin. 150. Saec. XV.

 82 HORAE B.V.M. of the Use of Paris, with the Penitential 
 Psalms, the Hours of the Holy Ghost, the Office of the 
 Dead, the Five Joys of the Virgin, the Seven Requests, 
 and Memoriae to various Saints. MANUSCRIPT ON 
 VELLUM, 6f by 4f inches, finely written in Northern 
 France, c. 1460; with ten large pictures representing St. 
 yohn on Patmos, The Annunciation, The Nativity, The 
 Shepherds, The Adoration of the Magi, The Presentation, 
 The Flight into Egypt, The Coronation of the Virgin, David 
 in Penitence, and the Day of Pentecost. These pictures, two 
 of which are injured, are well drawn in bright colours with 
 the high lights in flat gold, and are all inclosed in borders of 
 natural and conventional foliage. There is also an initial, 
 containing a picture of the Visitation, similarly bordered. The 
 initials to the prayers and verses are in burnished gold on panels 
 of blue and lake, and the line endings are of the same nature. 
 The Kalendar, which is a full Parisian one, is written 
 
 29

 throughout in red, blue and gold. The margins are ample 
 and have never been cut down. The binding is a very 
 remarkable and well-preserved French one of the first 
 half of the i6th century, with panels of the Arms of the 
 Redeemer and St. Michael fighting the devil, inclosed in 
 a border of gold strap work. 95. Saec. XV.

 FOUR MINIATURES, representing the Annunciation, 
 the Crucifixion, Pentecost, and a Burial. These are inclosed 
 in borders of natural and conventional flowers brightly 
 coloured. A leaf is lacking at the commencement of the

 humble servant, Sam. Johnson." 
 
 " You will now expe6l to be told why you will not be so much wiser 
 as you expeft when you have lived twelve years longer. It is said and 
 said truly, that experience is the best teacher, and it is supposed that as life 
 is lengthened, experience is increased. But a closer inspection of human 
 life will discover that time often passes without any incidents which can 
 much enlarge knowledge. . . . When we are young, we learn much, 
 because we are universally ignorant, we observe everything, because every- 
 thing is new. But after some years the occurrences of daily life are ex- 
 hausted, one day passes like another, in the same scene of appearances, in 
 the same course of transactions ; we have to do what we have often done, 
 and what we do not try because we do not wish to do much better, we are 
 told what we already know, and therefore what repetition cannot make us 
 know with greater certainty. He that has early learned much perhaps 
 
 31 E
 
 Alexr Denham & Co. 
 
 seldom makes with regard to life and manners much addition to his know- 
 ledge. Not only because as more is known there is less to learn, but 
 because a mind stored with images and principles, turns inward for its own 
 entertainment, and is employed in sorting these ideas which run into con- 
 fusion, and in recollecting those which are slipping away, practices by which 
 wisdom may be kept, but not gained. The merchant who was at first busy 
 in acquiring money, ceases to grow richer, from the time when he makes it 
 his business only to count it. Those who have families or employments 
 are engaged in business of little difficulty but of great importance, requiring 
 rather assiduity than subtilty of speculation, occupying the attention with 
 images too bulky for refinement, and too obvious for research. The right 
 is already known, which renders it easy to follow it. Daily business adds 
 no more to the scheme than daily lessons to the learning of the teacher. 
 But of how few lives does not stated duty claim the greater part. For the 
 greater part of human minds never endeavour their own improvement. 
 Opinions once received from instruction or settled by whatever accident, 
 are seldom recalled to examination ; having been once supposed to be right, 
 they are never discovered to be erroneous. . . . From this acquiescence in 
 preconceptions none are absolutely free, between fear of uncertainty, and 
 dislike of labour everyone rests while he might yet go forward, and they 
 that were wise at thirty-three, are very little wiser at forty-five."

 I confess they tease me, they are composed of amiability, 
 the seasons, the Moon, etc., upon which he rings (ac- 
 cording to Hunt's expression) triple bob majors. How- 
 ever that is nothing. I think he likes poetry for its own 
 sake, not his. I hope I shall soon be well enough to 
 proceed with my farce (?) and set you about the notes on 
 Sundays and Stray-days. Brown wishes you a pleasant 
 journey. ... If I were well enough I would paraphrase

 A very fine Manuscript, but unfortunately it was left unfinished, there 
 being throughout many spaces nearly full-page or smaller left blank for 
 the illuminator. The manuscript was evidently executed for Philip II., 
 Due de Bourbon, who married Anne de Beaujeu, daughter of Louis XL, 
 as his arms are included in the illuminated border to the first page. This 
 prince was born in 1439 and died in 1503.

 " Part I," in which state it is very rare. It was very soon afterwards

 131 PSALTER AND HORAE. SUPERB MANU- 
 SCRIPT ON VELLUM, 1 2 by 8f inches, written in N.E. 
 France, in the latter half of the thirteenth century. The 
 Kalendar occupies six leaves ', and is followed by a full-page 
 B at the beginning of the Psalms, in the upper part of which 
 David is represented playing on the harp, while in the lower 
 portion he slays Goliath. Every Psalm begins with a Jine 
 initial in burnished gold on a panel of blue and pink orna- 
 mented with white patterns. 'The versa! initials are alter- 
 nately gold and blue with blue and red penwork. Psalms 
 26, 38, 51, 52, 68, 80, 97 and 109 are, as usual, dis- 
 tinguished with initials of special size and beauty, that to 
 Psalm 109 being historiated with a picture of the Trinity, 
 evidently by a different hand from that employed on the other 
 initials. The Psalms are followed by the Hours of the Holy

 Ghost, alternating with those of the Virgin. The two main 
 sections of the volume are however divided by a full-page 
 picture of the martyrdom of St. Thomas a Becket, of which 
 a reduced reproduction is given. This picture is of the utmost 
 importance, and may be compared with the somewhat earlier 
 and ruder example in a well-known manuscript in the British 
 Museum. The Hours of the Holy Ghost are decorated with 
 seven large initials, historiated with scenes of the Betrayal, 
 the Mocking, the Scourging, Christ bearing the Cross, the 
 Crucifixion, the Deposition and the Entombment. The initials 
 to the Hours of the Virgin are treated decor atively. The 
 Book ends with the Vigils of the Dead. It is in very Jine 
 condition throughout, and the line-endings in blue and red give 
 every page a rich effect, the writing being very black and of 
 the most accomplished kind. The margins have never been 
 cut down. Modern purple morocco. 360.

 " That nothing may be wanting in my power to enable you to represent 
 the Witch Dame of Branksome in proper costume, I lose no time in 
 answering your letter. The lady when engaged in her magical intercourse 
 with the Spirits, should I think have a sort of stole or loose upper scarf 
 with astrological hieroglyphics of the planets. I have seen Prospero wear 
 such a thing. ... I would have the hair loose in the first scene and after- 
 wards put under such a headdress as Queen Mary is usually represented 
 with. . . . Pray for my love, drub your manager out of the general 
 blunder of dressing the Scottish Borderers in Tartan. He might as well 
 make them speak Gaelic. ... If I were to write anything for the stage it 
 would be for the delight of dressing the characters after my own fancy. . . . 
 In a very picturesque Ballad by a living borderer I find a spirited description 
 of the appearance of Wat of Harden as handed down by tradition from 
 which some hints might be taken. I should say that the poet is lineally 
 descended from the Henchman of this famous marauder, a man selected 
 for huge stature and great strength, and called in allusion to his very 
 unpoetical name of Hog, the Wild Boar of Falshope, and that is from 
 family tradition that account of his protestor's array was handed down. 
 
 And he 's away to Holy Rood / Amang the nobles a' 
 Wi' bonnet like a girdle broad / Oer hair like Craighope snow 
 His coat was of the forest green / Wi' buttons like the moon 
 His trews was of the good buck skin / Wi' a' the hair aboon 
 
 49
 
 Alexr Denham & Co. 
 
 His twa hand sword hang round his neck / And rattled to his heel 
 The rowels of his silver spurs / Were of the Rippen steel 
 His hose were braced with chains of airn / And round with tassels hung 
 At ilka' tramp of Harden's heel / the royal arches rang."

 Pasquils, &c. In i vol., small 8vo, calf, gilt back, by 
 Clarke and Bedford. 22 iox. od. Edinburgh: 1827-28. 
 
 PRESENTATION COPY FROM SIR WALTER SCOTT 
 to J. H. Markland with inscription in Markland's handwriting "J. H. 
 Markland the gift of Sir Walter Scott, see letter" and an important 
 AUTOGRAPH LETTER FROM SIR WALTER SCOTT con- 
 cerning this book in connection with The Bride of Lammermoor. "I have 
 been prevented from publishing my lampoon on the Scheur family on 
 which the story of The Bride of Lammermore is founded by finding it 
 though from an inferior copy to mine printed in the enclosed collection 
 of Scottish libells of which Mr. Maidment, an amateur and Bannatynian, 
 has published a half private edition. I beg your acceptance of a copy as 
 from their tenor they will soon be introuvable and are never likely to be 
 reprinted. You will shortly hear the private history of the Bride of 
 Lammer and the other Waverley Novels in an illustrated edition which 
 designed should have been a posthumous publication but is now to appear 
 inter vives. . . . The intimation of the Lammermore affair occurs in the 
 ist volume of the Pasquils, page 58, 6th line. . . ." (Dated from) 
 "Edinburgh, 19 December, 1828." (Signed) "Walter Scott." A third 
 Book was published subsequently.

 stimulants. ... It is interesting to see a race (Marquesas) formed by 
 sexual selection, beautiful, cowardly, idle and useless close by (low archi- 
 pelago) a race supposed to be the same in blood, certainly very close in 
 language and superstitions, but sele&ed by a life of considerable hardship 
 and perpetual danger and toil upon the seas ; and these are (by comparison) 
 plain looking nearly as plain as we are, but industrious, hard, capable, and 
 even virtuous. I should have been here years ago and studied these 
 islands. . . . This is a much better place than Europe, and the beach- 
 comber, who is a charming fellow, knows what he is about . . ."

 173 THACKERAY (W. M.) ORIGINAL PORTRAIT 
 IN CRAYONS BY SAMUEL LAWRENCE. Full- 
 length, standing in a characteristic attitude, with hands

 35- 
 
 We are able to state on incontestable authority (evidence of which we 
 can furnish to an intending purchaser) that this is the ORIGINAL 
 SKETCH OR DRAWING BY SAMUEL LAWRENCE FOR 
 THE CELEBRATED PORTRAIT IN THE REFORM CLUB, 
 with which it is identical, except for the pose of the head and the size. 
 In the Reform Club portrait the head is thrown slightly backwards, and 
 the portrait is thus described by Sir Wemyss Reid, in his delightful article 
 "Some Club Ghosts" ( Cassell's Magazine" for June, 1897): "There 
 is in the stranger's dining-room at the Reform a life-size portrait of 
 
 58
 
 23, Hay market) London^ S.W. 
 
 Thackeray, just as he used to stand in the smoking room, his back to the 
 fire, his legs rather wide apart, his hands thrust into his trouser pockets, 
 and his head slightly thrown backwards, whilst he joined in the talk of the 
 men occupying the semicircle of chairs in front of him." 
 
 There were in all three portraits of Thackeray painted by Samuel 
 Lawrence: one in the possession of Lady Pollock, of which Mrs. Ritchie has 
 a replica ; another in the National Portrait Gallery ; and the third in the 
 Reform Club.

 HORACE WALPOLE'S OWN COPY; and used by him in pre- 
 paring a new edition. On the wrapper of Vol. III. he has written: " This 
 vol. ready for the new edition" The third volume contains 1 8 additions in 
 ink by Walpole ; and the fifth volume, one in ink and three in pencil ; not 
 counting some corrections and erasures. The fourth volume, though dated 
 1771, was not published until 1780. Laid in this copy is the very scarce 
 "ADVERTISEMENT" to the fourth volume (pp. iii-ix), printed in 
 1773, but never issued. The "Advertisement" appears, in an altered 
 form, in the published volume (pp. v-x), dated 1780.
