BABTHOLOimV 0LOS1 PR \9W PREFACE. The Shakespeare Fund was established in October, 1861, to accomplish the following objects, — 1. The purchase of the Gardens of Shakespeare at New Place. 2. The purchase of the remainder of the Birth-place Estate. 3. The purchase of Anne Hatha way's Cottage, with an endowment for a custodian. 4. The purchase of Getley's Copyhold, Stratford-on-Avon. 5. The purchase of any other properties, at or near Stratford-on-Avon, that either formerly belonged to Shakespeare, or are intimately connected with the memories of his life. 6. The calendering and preservation of those records at Stratford-on-Avon which illustrate the Poet's life, or the social life and history of Stratford-on-Avon in his time. And 7. The erection and endowment of a Public Library and Museum at Stratford-on-Avon. The list of objects to be accomplished appeared to be so formidable, that the project was re- garded in many quarters as chimerical. Neverthe- less, in the few years which have elapsed since the establishment of the Fund, three of the most im- portant of the above-named objects have been nearly completed, and, amongst them, the formation of the \ i I UNTEN rS. valuable Library and Museum, the contents of which are inadequately described in the following pages. The permanency of this important collection has been carefully Becured. The Library and Museum ■ have been conveyed to the Corporation of Stratford- on-Avon, upon trust to place their managemenl under the control of a Board, consisting of the Lord Lieu- tenant of the County, the Bigl) Steward of the Borough, the Mayor and Aldermen, the Vicar, the Master of the Grammar School, and others. A satisfactory classification of a collection of miscellaneous Shakespeariana is impracticable. In the following Catalogue, which lias been compiled l»\ Mr. Clarence Eopper, the only arrangement attempted bas reference to the names of the various donors. Presents to the Museum, or subscriptions to the Fund, will l»e thankfully received by Mr. J. 0. Ealliwell, No. 11, Tregunter Road, London, S.W., and offers of books, &c, for purchase will also be acceptable. i'i.i;ki a ttl . L868. MISS WHELE1I. For upwards of half a century the late Mr. Wheler diligently occupied himself in the completion of one of the most remarkable local antiquarian collections ever formed by a single individual. The following pages, being merely a brief hand-list of these treasures, convey a very inadequate idea of their importance and value ; but as the construction of a more elaborate calendar would have required a con- siderable time, it was thought that a sketch of the contents of the collection would be an acceptable offering to the public, especially to the inhabitants of Stratford, who will not fail to appreciate the generosity of Miss Wheler in presenting the Town with so important a gift, and the judgment which dictated the place of its locality. It would not only have been sad, and an injury to the local topographical literature, had these collections, formed by so much labour and anxiety, ever been dispersed ; but they would have lost much of their interest and value had they been allowed to depart from Stratford. The late Robert Bell Wheler was born at Strat- ford on January 1st, 1785, in the house in Old Town in which he continued to reside during his life, and PRESENTED B1 where he died on July L5th, L857, aged 7:!. His father, Mr. Robert Wheler, his predecessor in his profession of a solicitor, entered the office of Mr. Bradley, the Town-Clerk, and a solicitor of Large practice, in January, \7->7. He died in August, I Nil), a«4 - od 77. His Bon, bhe objed of this notice, was articled to him, but, unlike most articled clerk-. he served ao part of his time in London, merely going there for about a month at the time of his admission. His affection for Stratford, and love for Shakesperian pursuits, were so intense that he never seemed to be happy out of his native town; so that, in the whole course of his long life, he spent very little portion of his time indeed out of Stratford. In early Life he was a member of the Stratford volunteer corps, and he afterwards became a commissioned officer, a lieutenant and quarter-master, in the third regimenl of the Warwickshire local militia stationed at Stratford, in which capacity he was much esteemed by his brother officers and by Colonel Sheldon, then in command of the regiment. Mr. Wheler's first work, and that by which he is chiefly known, is the admirably compiled " History and Antiquities of Stratford-upon-Avon," published in L806. His next separate production was a "Guide to Stratford-upon-Avon," 1814, one which is well termed by a distinguished writer, "a verj Superior book to many which bear a similar title," Hunter on Shakespeare, i. 1 ( »7. This was followed, in 1824, by his excellent sketch of* the history of Shakespeare's Birth-place. Besides these works he was the writer of several articles of interest in the Gentleman's Magazine, and other periodicals. His published works, however, form but a small MISS WHELER* ( .» part of the results of his labours, the extent of which will only be duly estimated by the careful examiner of the present collection. Upon his autograph manuscripts in this collection will henceforth rest his principal title to literary distinction, and in securing them for ever to Stratford, his surviving sister, Miss Anne Wheler, has paid the best possible tribute to his memory, and realized his own most probable aspirations. 1. Collectanea de Stratford. 4to. MS. This marvellous example of the results of the un- rivalled industry and accuracy of the late Mr. Wheler, in 536 quarto pages, so minutely written, that a transcript in ordinary calligraphy would fill half-a- dozen volumes of a like size, well deserves to be placed in the fore-front of this little catalogue ; and the rather that we are enabled to add an excellent index to the principal contents of the volume, from the equally accurate pen of Mr. W. 0.

It is a portrait of a young lady of the Olopton family, I have heard. She was exceedingly beautiful, and the legend connected with the portrait is extremely curious. She was buried alive during the plague here, perhaps at the time our Shakspeare was about two years old, as in that year it raged so fiercely at Stratford, that in a few weeks a fifth of the popula- tion fell victims to it. 'This young lady sickened, and, bo appearance, died of it, and was buried with fearful baste in the vault of Clopton Chapel, attached to Stratford Church. Within a week, anotherofthe family was Beized, and quickly dying, was borne to the ancestral vault, and, to the horror of the mourners, as they descended the stairs, the light of their torches showed them the figure of a woman dressed in her grave-clothes, and leaning against the wall. When they approached, and looked Dearer, it was Charlotte Clopton. She appeared THE NEW PLACE. 163 not long dead, and in the agonies of despair, hunger, and perhaps madness, she had bitten a large piece from her round white shoulder. Such is the legend as it has been handed down. I know of no written record extant, though I have been told the story is to be found in print. It is singular that such a Capulet tomb should have actually been in the church of Stratford-upon-Avon." 1148. A variety of articles discovered in the excavations at New Place, including a very curious old kuife of the Shakspearian era, a candlestick of a later period, fragments of cornices, tobacco-pipes of the seventeenth century, fossils, pieces of glass, earthenware, china, coal, iron, &c.

THE SHAKESPEARE FUND. This Fund originated in 1861, in an emergency which threatened the integrity of the site of New Place and the Gardens of Shakespeare. Its objects are enumerated at p. 5, but the main designs at present are to complete the work commenced at New Place and to increase the efficiency of the Library and Museum. The other unattained objects of the Fund must remain in abeyance until these are satisfactorily accomplished. A small portion of Shakespeare's Gardens at New Place remains to be purchased. The custodian's house requires a new front, and a considerable expenditure is necessary to lay out the grounds properly and surround them with substantial iron fencing. Independently of the question of an endow- ment for a custodian, the sum wanted immediately for these purposes cannot fall much short of £2000. The first establishment of the Library and Museum is due to the well-timed liberality of Mr. C. Holte Bracebridge of Atherstone Hall, who kindly placed the dilapidated rooms of the house adjoining the Birth -Place in Henley Street in a fit state for the reception of cases. When once a suitable repository was accessible, presents of great value soon accumu- I J I THE SHAKESPEARE I I ND. lated. The rapid progress of the collection is, however, mainly due to the unwearied diligence and exertions of Mr. \V. (). Hunt, whose position at St rat ford-on- Avon lias enabled him to secure a large number of interesting objects which would otherwise have been dispersed or lost. The manage- ment of the library and Museum is now vested (see p. 6) in a Board of Trustees. The amount hitherto received on behalf of the Fund amounts to £4188, but it is hoped that this sum will be rapidly increased when the objects are more generally known. The assistance which no doubt could be derived from local committees and secretaries, concerts, bazaars, readings and theatrical performances, has barely yet been invoked. The United States, where Shaksperian readers and pilgrims to Stratford-on-Avon are so numerous, have as yet made no sign, and probably are unacquainted with the progress made and desired. A few earnest, workers in the cause would speedily raise the comparatively small amount (€2000) at present urgently required. The progress which has thus far been made is due in a great measure to the zeal and to the con- tributions of a few. Miss Bufdett Coutts, with unvarying munificence, contributed 6600; and the sum of £2585 has been raised by twenty other subscribers of £100 and upwards. In addition to th.-se gifts, ami to those enumerated in the following lists, the Fund has indirectly benefited by gratuitous Bervic Mr. Arthur J. Wood, barrister-at-law, has declined i\'t'<. for valuable legal assistance. Mr. Edward Gibbs, the accomplished and well-known architect of Stratford-on-Avon, presented 1 be amount THE SHAKESPEARE FUND. 175 of his costs, £55. Miscellaneous expenses incurred previously to the audit of March, 1862, amounting* to £105. 12. 0, were presented by Mr. Halliwell. The auditors are nominated by the leading- sub- scribers to the Fund, every one subscribing £100 having the option to act himself as an auditor, or to nominate one, and to call for an audit whenever it may appear to be desirable.
