 tJieir chief interest to he derived from their (my father and inotJicr's) 
 episodical relation to the History of Mr. C. Dickens, and tJiis considera- 
 tion lias made me long hesitate to offer these cherished mementoes for 
 sale. Not that I have the slightest zvish to derogate from the high esti- 
 inafion in which the late Mr. Dickens is held by the reading public, but 
 because I feel a natural desire that the book should go into the hands 
 of some one of those admirers of my father s talents who zvould treasure 
 it zi'ithont regard to Pickzvickian consideration, and it is zuith this hope 
 that I am at length zvilling to part zvith it. Yours very truly, R. Sey- 
 mour." Small 4to, full levant extra, by Curtis Walters. 285.00

 * This famous book, which gave birth to the greater part (if the chivalrous 
 literature of France, and which may be considered as the fountain head of French 
 poetry, was commenced towards the end of the 13th Century by Guillaume de 
 Lorris, and was finished at the beginning of the 14th Century by Jehan de Meung. 
 Its appearance in print towards the close of the 15th Century gave rise to some 
 disturbance in the realm of Gallantry, and the poets engaged in hot tournament 
 in honour of the ladies, which inspired several writings which have remained 
 famous. The most important of these was the poem entitled "Le Champion des 
 Dames," which had a great success. Magnificent copy. See Illustration.

 Pieautiful copy of the first edition: from the C. V>. Footc Collection, with 
 booki)lates. An intcrcstiufj commendatory verse by John Dryden (S pp.) is pre- 
 fixed to this volume. Mr, Malone in his Life of Drider (p. 8), has entered into 
 a minute disfpiisition on the orthography of the poet's name which is said to have 
 been altered from Driden to Dryden in 1650: but this volume evinces that the 
 early spelling was ret.ained ten years after the time Mr. Malone supposed it to 
 have been given uj). The poet was certainly the Hrst of his family that introduced 
 the letter "Y" in the surname, and thereby gave great ofifense to some of his 
 relations.

 zvifh illuminated initials. 8vo, full red levant morocco extra in-

 * The four large miniatures which ornament this manuscript represent the 
 Songs of the ".Annunciation" the "Chant de la MagdaJcine," the oration "O hone 
 Jens," and the "Oraisona niadanie sainctc Barbel" The figures of the Virgin, of 
 Magdalen and St. Rarbe bear a marked resemblance to each other, as also to one 
 of the men kneelin£r before Jesus and St. Barbe, and it can be inferred that these 
 miniatures are portraits of the personages for whom the manuscript was executed. 
 The miniatures are not only very finely executed, but also correctly designed, and 
 show the work of a skilful artist, probablv a pupil of Jean Foucquet ; moreover, 
 they are in the finest condition. The different poetical pieces to the number of 
 Ti which compose this manuscript, are almost all entirely in the honor of the 
 Virgin, and constitute an interesting and unique book of Hours of the Immaculate 
 Conception. The following is a list of the 11 poetic pieces and Dyalogues,

 First Edition and the lirst of Longfellow's work written in his Cani])ridge 
 Home, Craigie House. Laid in is an exceedingly interesting and long Autograph 
 Letter from Longfellow to George W. Greene, giving him his own opinion of 
 Hyperion and of its reception by the Critics. He says: 
 
 "I have been rending asunder some of the Boston cobwebs of prejudice . . . 
 by publishing a strange kind of a book which I have the audacity to call a Romance. 
 The Boston papers are very savai^c, and abuse me slioctiiuiily : for all of which I 
 am very glad; inasmuch as it proves to me that the book is i^ODd. ... It 
 has had a iine run and a large edition sold in a few weeks. I haye row in 
 Press a volume of poems, under title 'Voices of the Night," containing all I have 
 written since my residence here — some of my earlier pieces and some translations. 
 Hyperion is as nuich a Romance as Childe Harold or the Roman de la 
 Rose.

 Southey's Annotated Copy for the Press.

 mous History of the noble and valiant Prince Palmerin of Eng- 
 land — declaring his birth and Prince Florian Du Desart — the

 incomparable deeds of chivalry — Translated out of French by 
 A. M. Two parts, extended to three volumes. Small 4to, full olive mo- 
 rocco gilt, gilt tops, uncut. London, 1664. 200.00 
 * The copy used by the poet Robert Southey in makinl; his English 
 edition, published in iso/. interleaved with 4/3 leaves of writing paper, on 
 WHICH Southey has written his corrections and interpolations. Many correc- 
 tions AND directions TO THE PRINTER ARE ALSO WRITTEN ON THE MARGINS OF THE 
 text and THE EXCISIONS POINTED OUT. INSERTED IS A MS. NOTE STATING THAT THIS

 Palmerin of England was written by Don Luis de Hertado, and is ranked as 
 one of the best of the Romances of Chivalr}' of the type of Amadis de Gaul. When 
 Cervantes described the Cure burning" the romances of Don Quixote he expressly 
 excepts Pahnerin of England, declaring that it shall be put among the relics of 
 antiquity for the excellence of its composition and adventures. Many English 
 authors have praised it, and Keats classed it among his favorite books. See Il- 
 lustration.

 * "The cry of an agonized soul pent within a tortured body. It is a most extra- 
 ordinary production, and aflfords to the keen observer some insight into the mental 
 state of the writer. There are many feeble lines, many where fervent words clothe 
 a trivial conceit, but there are also not a few burning thoughts expressed with a 
 mournful dignity. The one class could never have been printed in W'ildc's fortunate 
 days; they would have been scouted by his fastidious taste. The others needed 
 shame and suffering as teachers before they could have been conceived."
