THE collection of books here offered for sale has occupied -*- the leisure hours of a busy life for many years. The owner feels that he is parting with tried and trusted friends, but is consoled by the conviction that books such as these can appeal only to those who will equally appreciate and value them. ' ' The criterion of literature is the touch-stone of time, ' ' and it is believed that there are very few books in this collee- \f tion that have not passed the test and will not be accepted by > collectors as ' ' pure gold. ' ' Special attention has been paid not only to procuring the rarest books, but the best obtainable copies of such books. Mainly of the Tennysonian Period, the collection also includes the standard authors of the Johnsonian Era. Of the books issued during the latter period there will be found Dr. Johnson's rare "Prince of Abissinia" and the ^ "Vanity of Human Wishes," and some particularly rare edi- 1 tions of Goldsmith, including the "Vicar of Wakefield" and ( "Retaliation." The latter charming and pleasantly satirical ^ poem the last work of Goldsmith, published two weeks after his death is one of his books that should be most cherished by his admirers. It was a reply to Garrick's humorous epitaph on Goldsmith, written on the spur of the moment in a com- pany of friends : ' ' Here lies Nolly Goldsmith, for shortness call 'd Noll Who wrote like an angel, but talked like poor Poll." Goldsmith in his ' ' Retaliation ' ' poked pleasant fun at all the wits of the town, and the last lines ever penned by him are the two in that poem referring to Sir Joshua Reynolds : ' ' When they talked of their Raphaels, Correggios and stuff, He shifted his trumpet and only took snuff." .'507364 The works of both Smollett and Fielding are First Editions, and only those who have endeavored to obtain them can appre- ciate the difficulty of securing them in this state. "The Critic," "She Stoops to Conquer," "The School for Scandal" and other pieces by Sheridan are the First and rare editions. A little later in the Eighteenth Century come those authors who really extend into and influence the early Tennysonian Era Shelley, Keats, Coleridge and Wordsworth. Of the first named there are "Adonais," "Laon and Cythna," "The Cenci," "Rosalind and Helen," "The Revolt of Islam," and others equally rare ; and the three ' ' slender volumes ' ' of Keats exquisitely bound by Bedford. There is also the "Lyrical Bal- lads ' ' of Wordsworth, 1798, containing the first appearance of the "Ancient Mariner," and a copy in the original boards, uncut, of the two- volume edition of the ' ' Poems, ' ' 1807. Cole- ridge 's "Sibylline Leaves" is entirely uncut and his "Re- morse, ' ' 1813, for which Charles Lamb wrote the Prologue, is the edition of which the sanguine author wrote to the Gentle Elia that he would make over 400 by it, but confessed later that the edition would probably last for years. The reader of Wordsworth and Coleridge is also a reader of Charles Lamb, and of the latter there is a large collection, beginning with his first attempts at poetry in the little volume published by Charles Lloyd and Coleridge in 1796, and his own first separate publication, "A Tale of Rosamund Gray," is in the original (half leather) binding and there are others in boards, all as issued. It is scarcely necessary to point out the rarity of first editions of "Tales from Shakespeare," "John Woodvil" and the "Essays of Elia," not omitting the mention of Talfourd's own copy of Charles Lamb's Letters, interleaved with his MS. annotations and additions of parts omitted from the published version, and some original Lamb letters. The Walter Savage Landor collection is, probably the most complete ever offered. It includes a unique copy of "Imaginary Conversations," with proof sheets of additional conversations bound in and four letters of Landor to Lady Blessington. The writings of Leigh Hunt and Hazlitt are in the first editions. The works of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning in- clude the "Poems," 1844, which is a presentation copy from Mrs. Browning; and her husband's "Bells and Pomegranates" is the copy he gave to Miss Chorley, the sister of the well- known musical critic. A Manuscript Poem and Letters add to the interest of this division, and other rarities include the (Reading) edition of the "Sonnets," the "Runaway Slave" the first book to which Mrs. Browning signed her married name; her "Essay on Mind," written when only seventeen; "Prometheus Bound," which she later suppressed; a presenta- tion copy of Browning's "Sordello," and the rare separate issues of the "Statue and the Bust," "Cleon" and "Gold Hair." I feel a justifiable pride in the Tennyson, Dickens, Thack- eray, Fitzgerald, Rossetti and Swinburne collections. The First Issue of "Pickwick," in the original parts, uncut, is, I believe, unequalled, and only the experienced collector will appreciate the time and labor required to make up the com- plete set with every part in the right state. The other Dickens items are also in the best states and earliest issues, and, of the books of Thackeray, "Vanity Fair," in the original parts, is very difficult to obtain. The "Second Funeral of Napoleon" is well known to Thackeray collectors, though exceedingly rare in the original wrappers. Thackeray's other writings include both his earlier and later works and the books illus- trated by him when he believed his forte to be drawing, not fiction. Contemporary with these writers is a host of others whose work time has stamped with the mark of permanence. George Eliot, Charles Lever, "Father Prout" (who should be in- cluded for his "Bells of Shandon"), George Borrow, Charles Reade, R. H. Barham, the Bronte Sisters (including the first issue of the "Poems," 1846, with the Aylott & Jones imprint and "Jane Eyre"), and others that want of space prevents enumerating. Attention should also be called to a few special rarities. Among the Tennysons will be found the privately printed ' ' Helen 's Tower, ' ' to which has been added the original manu- script of Browning's Poem on the tower written at Lord Dufferin's request; the first edition of "Poems by Two Broth- ers"; "Poems," 1830; the privately printed edition of "The Cup," and others; "The Germ," "Sister Helen," and the privately printed "Verses," 1881, by Dante Gabriel Rossetti; and also two manuscripts, his translations of Burger's "Lenore," and "William and Helen." There is a wonder- ful collection of first editions of Swinburne, Morris, Oscar Wilde and Whistler, and complete sets of the first editions of Walter Pater, John Addington Symonds, Thomas Hardy, and George Meredith (including an inscribed copy of the lat- ter 's "Poems," 1851) ; also, complete collections of Stephen Phillips and Maurice Hewlett, and a long line of Andrew Lang. Fine examples are also to be found of the work of Cobden- Sanderson, Douglas Cockerell, Francis Bedford, Charles Lewis, Riviere, Zaehnsdorf, and other binders. It is believed that this collection of English books relating to the Georgian and Victorian periods is one of the most impor- tant in point of rarity, numbers and quality that has been offered to the public in recent years. The fact that the works are of the correct issue and in such exceptionally fine condition is largely attributable to my friend, Mr. Walter M. Hill of Chicago, through whom practically all the rare items were secured they are in fact "Hill Books," and those who have had books from him will appreciate what that means. EDWIN N. LAPHAM.

By courtesy of the 2 *~7 owner of the original manuscripts these volumes are here first *- / published. The First and Last Journeys contains accounts of / Thoreau's journey to the West. Sir Walter Raleigh was Thoreau's favorite character in English history, and the original manuscript shows that the work was written with scrupulous care, he having written out no less than three separate drafts before getting it finally to suit him. In thus departing from the natural bent of his genius and devoting himself to the ex- ploits of this adventurous knight, Thoreau reveals a hitherto unknown phase in his literary character. 70.

It was printed by Arabel Barrett for a bazaar to benefit the " Refuge for young destitute girls " and published at six pence. Few copies found buj'ers and the pamphlet became very rare. In 1887, thirty- three years after they had been printed, a parcel of them turned up in a London auction room, and the bookseller into whose hands they fell advertised them at tivo shillings. They rapidly disappeared at this price, and now command a high figure. 128. BROWNING (ELIZABETH BARRETT). Aurora . _^ Leigh. FIRST EDN. Post 8vo, original cloth, uncut.

CERTAINLY ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVER OFFERED MEN- TIONING HIS "ROBESPIERRE," THE COMMUNISTIC COLONY OF " PANTISOCRATS " OF SOUTHEY, HIMSELF AND OTHERS, TO BE FOUNDED ON THE SUSQUEHANNA RIVER, PENNSYLVANIA, AND C * j CONTAINING AN ORIGINAL SONNET WRITTEN WHEN REBUFFED BY r & 4 A YOUNG LADY (Sara Fricker whom he afterward married?) ON ACCOUNT OF " his American Scheme," as he calls it (a small hole where the seal has been torn but the piece with all the words is attached to the seal) ; several letters of Bishop Bloom- field, others of Samuel Butler, Lucy Aikin, Christopher Words- worth (brother of the poet), Dr. Burney, Southey (mentions Wordsworth and his Sonnets), Alex. Chalmers, J. Montgomery, Wm. G ifford, and others. With portraits (22) of many of these men and others ; also views, etc. The 37 letters which have been placed in this book are not merely polite notes, or "examples" of the autograph of the writers. Nearly all are of 2 and 3 4to pages in length, full of matters of literary or current interest and form a most attrac- 37 tive picture of the old-fashioned courtesy and friendliness of the day. Dibdin's own letter to Wrangham is a splendid example of this : " I have the pleasure need I add anything? You were yesterday made and now are, in short, one of us Roxburgliers. having been proposed by Heber & seconded by Yours truly, T. F. Dibdin. Lord Norpeth came in after you were elected. I hope you will dance for joy." The fine Coleridge letter, written to Wrangham when both were hardly more than boys, is mainly as follows: "I wished to write you particularly concerning your Imitation Scheme my first advice is that you should drop it altogether and apply your abilities to original compositions perhaps to genteel Comedy as a department of Literature most lucrative & may I not add peculiarly adapted to your cast of Genius? I have sent you the Tragedy of Robespierre My head throbs so violently and my Spirits are so low that I shall just add a Sonnet & conclude It was occasioned by a letter (which I lately received from a Young Lady whom for five years I loved almost to madness) dissuasive from my American Scheme but where Justice leads I will follow though the path be through thorns of roughness The Scotts desire their compliments. Compliments! Cold aristocratic Inanities! I abjure their nothingness. If there be any whom I deem worthy of remembrance I am their Brother. I call even my Cat Sister in the Fraternity of Uni- versal Nature. Owls I respect and Jack Apes I love: for Aldermen & Hogs, Bishops & Royster Crows I have not par- ticular partiality they are my Cousins however, at least, by Courtesy. But Kings, Wolves, Tygers, Generals, Ministers & Hyaenas I renounce them all. May the Almighty Pantisocratizer of Souls pantisocratize the Earth and bless you and S. T. Coleridge, Oct. 24, 1794." Then follows the Sonnet. 314. DIBDIN (THOMAS FROGNALL). A Bibliograph- ical, Antiquarian, and Picturesque Tour in the Northern Counties of England and in Scotland.

A REMARKABLE COPY OF "PICKWICK." 315. DICKENS (CHARLES). The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club, containing a faithful Record of the Perambulations, Perils, Travels, Adventures and Sporting Transactions of the Corresponding Members. Edited by "Boz." With illusts. by Seymour, "JJuss " and "Phiz." FIRST EDN. 8vo, IN THE ORIGINAL PARTS, uncut, enclosed in handsome green levant morocco solander case. London, 1836-7 * ONE OP THE FINEST COPIES OF THE IMMORTAL ' ' PlCKWICK ' ' in existence, containing several UNUSUAL FEATURES (some of 38 which are not in any other copy [with one exception] that we can trace after exhaustive research), NOTABLY THE EXCESSIVELY RARE PART III, HAVING ' ' WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY E. W. Buss ' ' ON FRONT COVER, and with the other "points" that are required by the fastidious collector. The following description, lengthy though it may be, we feel justified in using to describe this copy: ALL THE NUMBERS ARE DATED 1836. Part I. Covers correct, "with four illustrations by Seymour" on front cover (which only appears on the first issue) and which was afterwards altered to "With Illustrations"; inside front cover blank, back inside cover blank, reverse of which com- mences ' ' The Library of Fiction. ' ' WITH THE EXCESSIVELY RARE FIRST PlCKWICK ADVERTISEMENT, pp. 4, announcing "Sunday Under Three Heads" [this, however, is misplaced; should be in Part III]. The four illustrations are actually from the Seymour plates, of which it is said that not more than 300 impressions were taken, the plates having been so lightly etched that they would not stand the strain of further print- ing. When, on the introduction of Sam Weller, the book was assured a success, copies of these plates were made with the following differences: Plate 1: "Mr. Pickwick addresses the Club." Seymour plate, Mr. Pickwick's buttons on his vest are on the right side; "Phiz" plate, the buttons are on the left side. Plate 2 : " The Pugnacious Cabman. ' ' The milk- maid is clearly defined in the original and not so in the "Phis" copy. Plate 3: "The Sagacious Dog." The game- keeper's gun has lock and trigger; second state, both are omitted. Plate 4: "Dr. Hammer's defiance of Tingle." There are 10 boards on floor, second state has 11. Page 26, the last page of this number, is headed "Posthumous Papers, etc.," instead of "Posthumous Papers of." Part II. Covers correct, "With four Illustrations by Seymour" on front cover (which only appears on the first issue), only three, however, were issued, the third, "The Dying Clown," the artist having scarcely finished when he blew his brains out, it being said on account of Dickens reaping all the bene- fit, and he only a paid servant. Inside front cover blank, back inside cover blank, outside back cover advertises "The Library of Fiction." Also, the Very Rare PRINTED ADDRESS ANNOUNCING THE DEATH OF SEYMOUR. Part III. COVEES COEEECT, "With Illustrations by S. W. BUSS," IN WHICH STATE IT IS OF EXTREME RARITY, it being afterwards altered to ' ' With Illustrations, ' ' the copy sold by us last Jan. being of the latter kind. The illustrations "The Cricket Match" and the "Arbour Scene" are famous on ac- count of their not being satisfactory to the author, and which were changed in the second issues. Inside cover blank, back inside cover blank, reverse advertises "The Library of Fic- tion," also the famous "ADDRESS," not usually found with the part, which relates partly to the new illustrator of " PICK- WICK" . . . "Mr. Buss a gentleman already known to the public as a very humorous and talented artist," etc. Also, at the end appears THE FIRST PAID ADVERTISEMENT headed "The Toilet," and advertising Eowland and Sons Toilet Preparations. Of this Advertisement IT is SAID THAT ONLY ONE OTHER COPY IS KNOWN TO EXIST. [See note to Part I. for description of the first "Pickwick Advertiser," usually found with this part.] 39 Part IV. Inside covers advertising "The Library of Fiction," back cover advertising "The Pictorial Album" instead of "No. IV of The Library of Fiction," the latter appearing only on the first few copies. No "Pickwick Advertiser," pp. 4. It was to this part that "Phiz" first submitted his work to illustrate the book, the earliest impressions of which are known as follows : ' ' The Breakdown, ' ' p. 89, has NEMO engraved on left-hand corner, and "First Appearance of Mr. Samuel Weller" ; on right-hand corner are N. E. M. O., this being Browne 's sobriquet, which he used for the last time. Part V. Covers correct, contains "The Pickwick Advertiser," pp. 4. Also, (1) Plate, "Mrs. Bardell Faints," the orna- ments on the shelf are different; and (2) Plate, "Election at Eataneville," the Beadle's legs are straight; in later issues they are bow-legged. Part VI. Covers correct, contains "The Pickwick Advertiser," the front inside cover advertising "Sunday Under Three Heads" ; also, with the RARE SLIP, at end, "Phrenology made Easy." The plate "Seminary for Young Ladies," has a bell on the door (first state). Part VII. With "PiclcwicTc Advertiser," with plates "Mr. Pick- wick in the Pound" (on which are two donkeys), and Sam's legs are together, both of which are first state. Part VIII. Front and back inner covers blank, "Library of Fic- tion" on back cover; also, both chairs have different tops. No "Pickwick Advertiser." Part IX.

Small 4to, original grey wrappers, as issued. Lond. : Bernard Quaritch, 1859 * AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY OF THE VERY RARE FIRST EDITION, and, but for the name of the original purchaser writ- ten on the upper margin of the front cover, the pamphlet is as crisp and spotless as when it came from the printer's hands. The translation of this celebrated poem was finished in Jan- uary, 1858, when it was sent to the editor of Frazer's Magazine who kept it by him a whole year and then returned it to the author. Fitzgerald then had the poem printed by Quaritch the edition consisting of no more than 250 copies, of which 200 were left in the publisher's hands. The work did not sell and after a time was thrown out in quantities on the penny stand. Both Swinburne and Rossetti tell of having purchased copies at that meagre price. Unfortunately for the publisher, the edition was scattered before the merits of the poem were rec- ognized, and there being but little to recommend the work (besides its own inherent beauty, which in performances of this kind are seldom appreciated on their first appearance) the greater number of copies were lightly thrown aside and de- stroyed. The original edition is now one of the rarest items of Victorian literature. [See Reproduction.] 420. [FITZGERALD (EDWARD).] Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam, the Astronomer- Poet of Persia.

A Tale of Rosamund Gray and Old Blind Margaret. 12mo, original half leather (slightly rubbed). Lond. : Printed for Lee and Hurst, 1798 * FIRST EDITION, EXTREMELY RARE. The first book of which Charles Lamb was sole author, and his first printed prose work. The book seems to have taken its title from a poem in the 1795 volume of " Poems" by Lamb's friend; Charles Lloyd. It was well received, and on the 20th day of May, 1799, Lamb wrote to Southey! " Rosamond sells well in London, malgre thenon- renewal of it." But the Monthly Review noticed it in August, 1868, saying, "Mr. Lamb has here proved himself skilful in touching the nicest feelings of the heart and in affording great pleasure to the imagination," etc. Needless to say, the book is extremely rare. Even in 1815, Talfourd says that he was only able to find a copy "after earnest search in all the book stalls within the scope of my walk." [See Reproduction.] IN ORIGINAL BOARDS, UNCUT. 704.

Lond. 1802 * FIRST EDITION AND ENTIRELY UNCUT. VERY RARE IN THIS STATE. With the following inscription written on the fly-leaf: " To Miss Burchell ivith the author's best regards N. B. The poor author has a great respect for Miss Burchell' s father." This was Lamb's first attempt at play-writing, which he sent to Charles Kemble in the hope of the actor's presenting it to the public, but Kemble promptly lost the MS., and in con- sequence Lamb had to write another version. In the first let- ter which Lamb wrote to Southey, alluding to it, he said, "My tragedy will be a medley of laughter and tears songs, wit, pathos, humor Heaven send they dance not the dance of death. " It is particularly interesting as the first evidence of Lamb's study of the dramatic poetry of the Elizabethan age, in whose revival he bore so large a part. Wm. Godwin, acci- dentally seeing the delicious rt^med passage in the "Forest Scene," took it for a choice fragment from one of the old dramatists and went to Lamb to assist him in finding the author. " The Fragments of Burton " was a mild attempt at a liter- ary forgery on the part of Lamb. The poem "To Helen " is Mary Lamb's first appearance in print. Of this Lamb wrote to Coleridge, Aug. 26, 1800, " How do you like this little epi- gram. It is not my writing nor had I any finger in it / will just hint that it is almost or quite a first attempt." - [See Reproduction.] / V 705. [LAMB (CHARLES).] Faulkener: a Tragedy.

LAMB (CHARLES). A. L. S.,lp., folio, "India House," Oct. 19, 1821, signed " C. L." with superscription. * A delightful and most characteristic letter from the gentle Elia to Thomas Allsop ' ' the helpful friend of Coleridge and Lamb," dated from the "India House" (LETTERS OF LAMB so INSCRIBED ARE VERY RARE), and thanking him for a present of game: ' ' I have to thank you for a fine hare, and unless I am mis- taken for two, the first I received a week since, the account given with it was that it came from Mr. Alfourd I have no friend of that name, but two who come near it Mr. Talfourd Mr. Alsop, so my gratitude must be divided between you till 1 know the true sender I suppose you know my sister has been & is ill. I do not see much hopes, though there is a glimmer of her speedy recovery, etc." Signs himself " Yours, & Old Mr. Walton's & honest Mr. Cotton's Piscatorum Amicus C. L." [See Reproduction.] 728. LAMB (CHARLES). A. L. S., 1 p., 12mo, with leaf of address, undated but postmarked Dec. 20, 1827, dis- figured by having this date written in ink in the lower cor- ner in a recent hand. * Also to Thos. Allsop, signed " C. L.": "I hope to have a comfortable Xmas day with Mary. Your kind offer and the kind consent of the young Lady to come we feel as we should do. At present I think a vuit might a little put us out of our way. Emma (Lamb's adopted daughter) is with us, and our small house but just holds us, without obliging Mary to sleep with Becky, &c." 93 729. LAMB (CHARLES). A. L. S., 1 p., small 4to, with leaf of address, undated, but postmarked 1830. To T. Allsop, in acknowledgment of "many pleasant, presents," signed " C. Lamb" (rather unusual, as Lamb's letters to his friends are nearly all signed " C. L.") 730. LAMB (MARY). Long A. L. S., 3 pp. folio, with- out place or date, but postmarked " February, 1806,'' To Sarah Stoddart, afterward the wife of Wm. Hazlitt, arrang- ing for their marriage. *A characteristic and most delightful letter, in which the little Old Maid declares that " next to the pleasure of being married is the pleasure of making, or helping marriage for- ivard." She makes frequent references to Charles Lamb, and, after offering their house for the ceremony, tells Miss Stoddart that her own brother expresses a desire that she be married at his house: "We would not quarrel unnecessarily with your brother. Let there be a clear necessity shown, and we will quarrel with anybody's brother. The reason I have not written lately I thought it best to leave you all to the workings of your own minds in this momentous affair, in ivhich the inclinations of a bye-stander have a right to form a ivish but not to give a vote, etc." The marriage did not take place until 1808, and turned out very badly, with a divorce in 1822, just before Hazlitt wrote " Liber Amoris. / 731.

S , in full, 3 pp. 4to, Aug. 17, 1818, To Mr. Jerwood, Barrister, who objected to Landor sheltering himself on his veranda from a downpour of rain. *A very characteristic letter, showing that Landor, although an old man, was still capable of being aroused to a violent pas- sion. The letter is hastily and almost illegibly written, under the influence of his anger at the insult: ' 'Permit me to recall to your memory your insulting language and violent demeanor of yesterday, and to regret that I have no friend at Exeter who could express to you my sentiments in- stead of this letter. When I reminded you that such language was not applied to a gentleman, you expressed a doubt whether . I am one. I gave you all the benefit of this doubt, knowing that 9/ only a gentleman can judge of one correctly. But I thought my (yCfl - manner, my language and my tone were unmistakable, and (what you are more capable of appreciating), my dress, etc. " Landor then mentions the names of several families he had been visiting, " in whose society you never will be admitted un- less (to their sorrow) professionally there is no great bravery in thus insulting a man of seventy-three, without a cane or whip in his hand; but the man of seventy three has not yet forgotten, in case of necessity and at- a proper time and place, to repell a ruffian and to spurn a coward." The letter is "Boy thorn" (see Dickens' Bleak House) all through. It is accompanied with a number of clippings from the Athenaeum discussing Landor, his trouble with his wife, etc. A MOST INTERESTING COPY. 738. LANDOR (WALTER SAVAGE).

The present copy is from the library of Alfred Higgings with a letter addressed to him by S. C. Cockerell, former secretary of the Kelmscott Press, saying: ' ' Mr. Morris asks me to send you a copy of a little book of which Mr. Morris had 75 copies printed at the Chiswick Press just before the Kelmscott Press was started. His intention was to have the initials rubricated by hand, but Mr. Morris feels ever that even thus incomplete, you will consider it an interest- ing momenta. ," Dated March 8, 1898.

As a rule, they don't do much reading, except for a few story-books, till they are about fifteen years old ; we don't encourage early bookishness : though you will find some children who will take to books very early ; which perhaps is not good for them ; but it's no use thwarting them ; and very often it doesn't last long with them, and they find their level before they are twenty years old. You see, children are mostly given to imitating their elders, and when they see most people about them engaged in genuinely amusing work, like house-building and street-paving, and gardening, and the like, that is what they want to be doing; so I don't think we need fear having too many book-learned men."

Besides, I was using my eyes with all my might, wondering as the old horse jogged on, when I should come into London proper, and what it would be like now. But my companion couldn't let his subject quite drop, and went on meditatively : "After all, I4on't Jthbw, that it does them much harm, even if they do grow up book-students. Such people as that, 'tis a great pleasure seeing them so happy over work which is not much ^sought for. And besides, these students are generally such pleasant people ; so kind and sweet tempered ; so humble, and at the same time so anxious to teach everybody all that they know. Really, I like those that I have met prodigiously." This seemed to me such very queer talk that I was on the point of asking him another question ; when just as we came to the top of a rising ground, down a long glade of the wood on my right I caught sight of a stately building whose outline was familiar to me, and I cried out, " Westminster Abbey ! " " Yes," said Dick, " Westminster Abbey what there is left of it." [See No. 959.] 1015. PENN (WILLIAM).

ROSSETTI (DANTE GABRIEL). The Germ: Thoughts towards Nature in Poetry, Literature, and Art. With etchings by W. Holman Hunt, F. Madox Brown, J. Collinson, and W. H. DeverelL THE 4 NUMBERS IN THE ORIGINAL WRAPPERS, AS ISSUED. 8vo (covers slightly soiled and with a few fox marks, text and plates in perfect con- dition, enclosed in red crushed levant morocco, solander case). Lond. 1850 * THE EXTREMELY RARE AND VALUABLE ORIGINAL ISSUE, IN PARTS AS ISSUED, OF THE ORGAN OF THE PRE-RAPHAELITE BROTHERHOOD. It has all the original wrappers which are very scarce. After the second number printed slips with the jj ._ change of name were issued, to be pasted on the covers of the ***/ P* ""* first two numbers. This copy has those slips so pasted It is very difficult to find a copy in the original parts, nearly all hav- ing been bound. It contains contributions in verse and prose by Thomas Wooluer, Ford Madox Brown, J. L. Tupper, Coventry Patmore, Christina, Dante Gabriel and W.M.Rossetti, James Collinson.W. Bell Scott, and others. The desire of the Pre-Raphaelite Brothers to give expression to their feeling of revolt against conventionality in art led to starting "The Germ," the first number of which was issued in January, 1850. Three others followed, February, March, and April [usually printed May], all under the editor- ship of W. M. Rossetti. High as the quality of the magazine was, it met with little recognition and no commercial suc- cess. Of the first number 700 copies were printed, of which 200 were sold, and a smaller number of the February issue. After the February number Rossetti and his friends felt that the support accorded the magazine did not warrant their carry- ing it on, but the printers shouldered the responsibility, chang- ing the name to "Art and Poetry: Being Thoughts towards Nature," and two more numbers were issued, when it died a natural death. Among the famous writings from D. G. Ros- setti's pen which appeared for the first time in "The Germ" were, "Hand and Soul," "The Blessed Damozel," "From the Cliffs Noon," later called " Sea Limits," "The Carillon," "My Sister's Sleep." "This little magazine, a set of which is a rare bibliographical curiosity, has a significance of a very marked kind. It is all fragrant of sincere and enthusiastic youth and artistic purpose. It suggests a whole background of ardent impulsive figures, inspired by a generous emotion, and determined to see things with their own eyes and to say them in their own way. Thus though the little pages are glorified by the distinction which so many of the group afterwards achieved, ' The Germ ' has a real and intrinsic value of its own." BENSON'S Life of Rossetti.

Ros- x jt~ setti by his grandfather. The famous but short-lived periodical 7 *? x "The Germ 1 ' contained contributions by him, as did some other periodicals. This "Sister Helen," however, seems to be his second book. The person for whom it was printed was the Rev. William Fulford, who had been the editor of the defunct " Oxford and Cambridge Magazine." Enclosed in green levant morocco slip case. [See Reproduction.] 1084. ROSSETTI (DANTE GABRIEL), HUNT (HOL- MAN), AND MILLAIS (J. E.). POEMS, by Alfred Tennyson. Illust. by Millais, Rossetti, Hunt, and others. 8vo, original cloth, uncut. Lond. : Moxon, 1857 * First edition of the Pre-Raphaelite Tennyson, now scarce. Tennyson and Moxon projected this edition, and it is believed to have been at the poet's suggestion that the artists were chosen. The illustrations include the Lady of Shalott, by Hunt e^f- and Rossetti; The Palace of Art (2), by Rossetti; Mariana in the *^ * South, and Sir Galahad, by the same ; Holman Hunt contributed Oriana (2), Lady Godiva, The Beggar Maid, and two others; Millais drew the pictures for Mariana. Dream of Fair Women (2), Dora (2), St. Agnes Eve, Locksley Hall, and several others, Rossetti's designs are fewer than the others by the Brother- hood owing to his procrastination and the many corrections and alterations he made during the engraving of the blocks, absolutely refusing to approve anything that did not express exactly the idea conveyed by his drawing. As Rossetti's art was distinguished by its independence of rules and convention- alties, so may these illustrations of his be found not strictly adhering to the letter of the text, but have to be considered as examples of the spirituality and intensity of feeling which were the aim of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood at their best period. Holman Hunt's Lady of Shalott, Rossetti's St. Cecilia, and Sir Galahad, the sweetness and simplicity of Millais' St. Agnes and Edward Gray stand forth prominently among the illustrations. Other artists were Stanfield, Mulready, Horsley, etc. Thomas Woolner contributed the portrait of Tennyson. 134 1085. ROSSETTI (DANTE GABRIEL). Early Italian Poets (The).

THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF ROSSETTl'S TRANSLATION OF BURGER'S * ~ " LENORE," MADE IN 1844 IN HIS 16TH YEAR; SIGNED WITH O. HIS INITIALS, AND THE PRELIMINARY NOTE ALSO so SIGNED. 12 pp. 4to, interleaved and bound in dark green crushed levant morocco, gilt edges, by RIVIERE. *At the time when this translation was made Rossetti signed himself "Gabriel Charles," and this MS. is so initialled twice. Bound with it is a MS. note of authentification of the Cavalier Mortara, a friend of the Rossetti household in London, and one who encouraged the young Gabriel in his literary aud artistic tastes. This note, which is in Italian, states that he received this MS. in the middle of June, 1844, a few days after it had been translated by his friend of 16. Rossetti's brother, W. M. Rossetti, in 1895 could only recall two verses of this translation, and of it he says, " This likewise has perished." He was no doubt ignorant of the fact that the MS. was in existence in the present form. He mentions the "Lenore" as the first translation of any importance that Dante Rossetti ever undertook. INSERTED ALSO is A RARE LITHOGRAPH (AND THE ONLY ONE EVER EXECUTED by ROSSETTI) "Juliette"; doubtless also from the collection of the Cavalier Mortara. [See Reproduction.] 136 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT. 1099. ROSSETTI (DANTE GABRIEL). " William and Mary. A Ballad." 4 pp. original autograph manuscript, probably written prior to Burger's " Lenore, " or about the same time; signed "6r. Rossetti^ and then signed in paren- thesis at the left (" Gabriel Charles Rossetti "). Enclosed in light blue crushed levant morocco solander case, by RIVIERE. * In 1895 W. M. Eossctti says, "I have ~by me a MS. of an effusion William and Marie written when my brother was 15, in a style which is compounded of Walter Scott and the old Scottish ballads; it may also present some trace of Burger's ' Lenore.' This my brother offered for publication to the Editor of some magazine I fancy Smallwood's Magazine along with an outline design to illustrate it The Editor was too sensible to publish either poem or design. This transaction belongs to a period a little later than when Rossetti left school." It is interesting to note that one of the earliest of the writ- ings of Sir Walter Scott was a translation from Burger's "Le- nore ' ' which he called William and Helen. [See Reproduction.] 1100.

" " My dear Brown, I have been writing to aslc all the firm to /* dinner at 6 on Monday, as they propose a meeting here. I should enjoy it greatly $ hope no one will fail, though I know I don't deserve it. So do come As it is to be a business meet- ing, I suppose perhaps Emma $ Lucy would prefer another occasion, etc." ("Lucy" was the daughter of Ford Madox Brown, and married W. M. Rossetti.) 1101.

The edition of Allingham's "Day and Night Songs" (1855) was illustrated by Rossetti and Millais: "I cannot find my copy of Allingham's Poems but send you instead another which he left with me for a mutual friend I am not certain that I shall exhibit at all this year at any rate what I have in progress will not be demonstrable for some while, etc." 1102.

[Imprint on verso of title and last leaf.] 12mo, original green cloth, gilt lyre stamped on side, gilt edges. Lond. : Spottiswoode and Shaw, New Street Square [1850] *THE EXCEEDINGLY RARE FIRST EDITION.

All the poems con- tained in the volume were written between the ages of 14 and 26, and at the head of each poem is given the author's age. THIS COPY IS OF PARTICULAR INTEREST AS IT BEARS THE INSCRIPTION IN THE AUTOGRAPH OF THE AUTHOR'S FATHER: " To Lady Colquhoun, with the Author's Father's very Kind Regards," which justify the belief that the volume was printed at the expense of Rusk in' s father, and for private circulation. This copy is in beautiful condition, with the original gilt cloth and its side stamp of a gilt lyre as bright as on the day of issue. [See Reproduction.] 142 1151. RUSKIN (JOHN).

You hint at my saying a word upon the course of your Studies I only venture to observe that in respect to that branch of 189 U> / Literature to which I have paid great attention, I mean Poetry the best models are those which have stood the test of ages, and that in reading these, as indeed all others, we should keep the understanding vn, constant exercise. . . This most important con- sideration is apt to be overlooked, and the appropriate ends of Poetry are thought to be answer 'd if only the Imagination be excited and the Passions moved. ' ' This letter from the author of such noble poems as "Tintern Abbey," "Yarrow Eevisited," "The White Doe" and the "Ode on Immortality" is of wonderful interest. It bears no evidence of any care in composition, as there are blots, words erased, and written over or interpolated, throughout the entire letter. 1510. WORDSWORTH (WILLIAM).
