 PREFACE. 
 
 Three objects have been specially before me in the 
 composition of the following pages, — the first, to pro- 
 vide the lovers of art in general with a complete ca- 
 talogue of the exquisite works, in all their numerous 
 departments, of two of the greatest artists of modern 
 times, the famous Newcastle engravers, Thomas and 
 John Bewick ; the second, to furnish the daily increas- 
 ing class of collectors of the same with such an inven- 
 tory as may be of essential service to them in their 
 agreeable but expensive pursuit ; and the third, to 
 describe the treasures of the finest and most complete 
 Collection which has ever been brought together of the 
 works of these unrivalled masters. 
 
 On the publication of the " Memoir of Thomas 
 Bewick," four years ago, it was af^rmed by several 
 reviewers of the book that it wanted one important 
 thing : a list, so far as completeness is possible, of the 
 works of the mart to whom it was devoted. This 
 acknowledged desideratum I have now endeavoured to 
 supply.
 
 vi Preface. 
 
 The catalogues hitherto pubUshed have been of a 
 very meagre character. That issued by Mr. J . G. Bell, 
 in 185 I, is the best; but, as one who contributed the 
 greater share of that j)roduction, I am bound to con- 
 fess that even in the solitary department which it 
 pretended to exhaust, — that, namely, of the Books 
 and Pamphlets illustrated by the Bewicks, — it was 
 very unworthy of its subject. The Appendix to that 
 volume, which I drew up and prevailed upon the 
 publisher to annex to the work, merely offered a tanta- 
 lizing glimpse of divisions, which in the present are 
 given in full detail, the contents of which are by no 
 means second either in beauty or interest to any of 
 the illustrations of the Books and Pamphlets them- 
 selves. 
 
 The Collection of which 1 have the happiness to be 
 the possessor is one which a number of circumstances 
 that cannot occur again have contributed to make 
 unique. It has been in course of formation for upwards 
 of sixty years. It was originally commenced by a trades- 
 man in Newcastle, an intimate friend and associate of 
 Thomas Bewick, and has been successively increased 
 by additions from the stores of all the best known 
 collectors in the north of England. F'or many years 
 the late Mr. William Garret was in the constant habit 
 of adding to it the results of his unrivalled position 
 and opportunities, and from him, as the following pages 
 abundantly testify, many of the most curious arti- 
 cles were obtained. Some years also before his death, 
 Mr. John Bell, of Gateshead, contributed manv of his
 
 Preface. vii 
 
 special treasures ; and after his decease the enormous 
 collections which he had made in several of the depart- 
 ments were added to the previous acquisitions ftom 
 the same source. Whilst the death and dispersion of 
 the collections of Mr. Affleck, Mr. Brockett, Mr. 
 Thomas Bell, Mr. W. J Bell, Mr. John Sykes, Mr. 
 Fenwick, and a number of others, have afforded op- 
 portunities for collecting such as no future occasions 
 can by any possibility present. The race of the old 
 collectors has departed, and their gatherings are dis- 
 persed. 
 
 Although, in the Division of " Books and Pam- 
 phlets," my shelves contain a goodly number of fine 
 specimens of binding, the Collection is far more no- 
 ticeable as presenting examples of the original con- 
 dition of the majority of the volumes. Copies with 
 untouched edges and in their original boards are 
 frequent. Some of the earliest, for example, of the 
 "Quadrupeds" and "British Birds" are in precisely the 
 state in which they left the j)ublisher's shop, save the 
 partial fading of the marbled paper, which was the 
 outside dress of a new volume se\ enty years ago. 
 
 It may be said that, in the instance of many of the 
 articles in the subsequent Divisions, the mere collector 
 may regard them as destitute of interest, from their 
 being beyond the range of his possible acquisition. 
 I am well aware that, exclusive of the Wood-Blocks, 
 which of course are necessarily so, a considerable 
 number of the impressions themselves are and ever 
 were essentially unique, as possessed of an intlividuul
 
 viu Preface. 
 
 history in connection with the progress of Thomas 
 Bewick and his art. And considering the way in which 
 hundreds have been preserved from destruction, when 
 the whole of their companions have in all probability 
 met with such a fate, almost the same degree of ra- 
 rity may confidently be now affixed to great numbers 
 of the rest. But, even in such cases as these, I feel 
 sure that the collector will be glad to possess a know- 
 ledge of the works which his favourite artists have pro- 
 duced in any and every particular department, even 
 though his own collection may not contain of such 
 department so much as a solitary example. 
 
 The notes appended to many of the articles will be 
 found to convey a large amount of information, de- 
 rived from original and unpubUshed sources. And here 
 I should be doing unnecessary violence to my own 
 feelings, if I omitted to devote a few words to the 
 memory of the pair whose names stand first of those 
 recorded above as the special contributors to this Col- 
 lection, and whose correspondence has furnished the 
 majority of the notes to which I refer. 
 
 Mr. William Garret was the son of a hairdresser in 
 the Bigg Market, Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He served 
 his apprenticeship with Emerson Charnley, the book- 
 seller, and, for many years, before he set up for him- 
 self, was his foreman and the general manager of his 
 extensive business. On the 3rd of November, 1814,- 
 he was admitted into the Stationers' Company of New- 
 castle by servitude, and continued throughout his life 
 a most actixc luciubcr of tliat society, l^'or forty-one
 
 Preface. ix 
 
 years he discharged the duties of Steward in one or 
 other of the Incorporated Companies of his native town, 
 and for a lengthened period filled the office of Chair- 
 man of the Stewards. As a member of the Body of 
 Freemen he took an energetic part in the affairs of the 
 borough, and was closely mixed up with all the public 
 transactions of the place. He was also noted for the 
 production of a few local songs, one of which, " The 
 Gathering of the Whigs," written in 1 830, enjoyed at 
 the time considerable fame. I possess a printed copy 
 of it — his own gift, — with marginal notes, and his au- 
 tograph signature at the end. He was the compiler 
 of "An Account of the Great Floods in Northum- 
 berland and Durham," Nos. (345, 359) of this Col- 
 lection, and edited the republication of a Black Letter 
 pamphlet, " The Battle of Floddon Field," which was 
 printed by Messrs. T. and J. Hodgson in 1822. No. 
 \^ (377.) He died very suddenly, in his sixty-third year, 
 on the 28th of December, 1857, ^^*^ ^^^ remains were 
 interred on the 30th of the same month in Jesmond 
 Cemetery. His wife had preceded him on the 9th of 
 September, 1852. 
 
 Being for so many years manager to Mr. Charnley, 
 who was Bewick's principal publisher, and intimately 
 acquainted with all the printers of Newcastle and the 
 neighbourhood, he possessed ample opportunities of ac- 
 quiring what no one else could in the way of proofs and 
 similar curiosities, and turned his position to admirable 
 account. " Somehow or other," says one correspon- 
 dent, " he contrived to get many queer things" — an 
 
 b

 assertion fully borne out by numerous articles de- 
 scribed in this volume. I enjoyed for a number of 
 years the pleasure and advantage of his correspondence, 
 and not unfrequently that of his excellent company at 
 Newcastle. Of all the men I ever knew he was among 
 the first and foremost for local knowledge, — and New- 
 castle and Bewick were his pet subjects. A question 
 never came amiss to him. As it may be supposed, 
 he was not in general ready to part with his hoarded 
 literary and artistic treasures, and, when he did so, 
 showed that he was well acquainted with their value. 
 But in the latter years of his life he was pleased to 
 make my Collection the depository of his best and 
 choicest " gems," to use his customary word, and 
 took a lively interest in its perfection and complete- 
 ness. In his business dealings I ever found him most 
 exact and honourable ; while, as a correspondent and 
 companion, his facility in imparting information on all 
 local matters, and his native ability, happy enthusiasm, 
 courtesy, and genial good-humour united to endear 
 him to all who were brought within his influence. He 
 long considered me one of his special friends, — a posi- 
 tion of which I was duly, and therefore deeply, sensible. 
 With Mr, John Bell, of Gateshead, I was not so 
 well acquainted, except through the medium of corre- 
 spondence. I used to spend an hour with him now 
 and then during my many visits to Newcastle, and 
 inspect his wonderful collections in all imaginable de- 
 partments, and listen to his shrewd and sagacious cri- 
 ticisms on the various articles. He was a collector, and
 
 Preface. xi 
 
 one of a family of collectors, and marvellous indeed 
 were his gatherings. In early life he was a bookseller 
 on the Quay-side at Newcastle, where he was well 
 known as an author, compiler, and publisher, and after- 
 wards followed for a great number of years, as his 
 father had done before him, the occupation of a land 
 surveyor. In these labours he was considered one of 
 the first excellence in the North of England, and was 
 much and widely employed. His business pursuits 
 were made to yield constant food to his taste for col- 
 lecting, and hardly a journey was taken without add- 
 ing something or other, — a bar-bill, if nothing else, — 
 to his gigantic stores. Both his father and himself 
 were intimate friends of Thomas Bewick, from whom 
 each of them received, as the following pages testify, 
 interesting proofs of regard. Dr. Dibdin, who calls 
 him the " Historian of the ' Lower Empire ' of the 
 North," speaks of his visit to him during his stay at 
 Newcastle, and describes his wonder at the accumula- 
 tions which filled the second story of his house. Many 
 of his best specimens were added to my Collection 
 during the last few years of his life, as already stated, 
 and, after his death, his matchless collection of shop- 
 cards, invoice-heads, bar-bills, coal-certificates, etc. etc., 
 became my property. He died on the 31st October, 
 1864. 
 
 Of the artists themselves I can furnish no details of 
 importance — beyond those which are contained in the 
 present volume in the Introductions to the several Divi- 
 sions, and the notes appended to many of the articles.

 which will. I hope, give a tolerably minute portrait of 
 their artist life, — except what may be gathered from 
 the memoirs already published. Of these the sketch 
 of Mr. G. C. Atkinson is valuable, as containing some 
 memorials of Thomas Bewick, which would probably 
 have been lost apart from his judicious care. Many of 
 the descriptions in his pages were compiled from ar- 
 ticles now in my Collection, which were lent to him by 
 Mr. John Bell for that purpose. The shorter memoirs 
 contained in various periodicals are similarly valuable 
 — always excepting that of Mr. J. F. Dovaston, in the 
 second and third volumes of the ' Magazine of Natural 
 History,' which is a wretched compound of silly affec- 
 tation and self-conceit, the work of a writer who was 
 evidently more desirous of displaying his own imagi- 
 nary perfections than those of the ostensible subject of 
 his essay, and whose accuracy of fact is generally on a 
 par with his other qualities. 
 
 Of Bewick's Autobiography, pubhshed by his daugh- 
 ter in 1862, I would speak in terms of the deepest re- 
 spect. His personal narrative and charming pictures 
 of natural objects, as at pp. 228, 229, 256, are full of 
 interest and beauty. But I hesitate not to say that, 
 with regard to other parts of the volume, I should 
 have been glad of some omissions. I fully appreciate 
 the feeling of an affectionate and devoted daughter, 
 which this most estimable lady ever was, regartling as 
 sacred everything left behind him by an idolized and 
 lamented father, and supposing that the more minute 
 account it possessed of his sentiments the more the

 world would admire and love him. But I think that 
 most readers of the " Memoir " will agree with me in 
 regretting that the chapters on religious and political 
 matters were not omitted. It is the artist-life of 
 Thomas Bewick which one desires to possess, not his 
 opinions about subjects on which he was and could be 
 no authority. 
 
 To revert to matters immediately connected with 
 the present volume. 
 
 I have stated in the introduction to the Division 
 " Wood-Blocks " that it is in contemplation to issue 
 a series of my Cuts alone. This, among other 
 advantages, would afford a far juster notion of the 
 wonderful versatility of Bewick's powers than any in- 
 ventory of his productions apart from such illustra- 
 tion. It would also be likely to enable us to add to 
 the list of Books and Pamphlets known to be illus- 
 trated by him, long as it is at present, some few, at 
 least, the original Blocks of whose Cuts are classed 
 under my Nos. (3738.) to (3755.), but which I have 
 been unable to refer to any known publications. The 
 late Mr. John Bell, in examining a portion of these, 
 thought that he recollected, among others, the cuts of 
 various Children's Books, one or more " Battledores," 
 " Reading Easies," " The Little Boy found under a 
 Haycock," "Mother Chitchat," "Mother Goose," 
 " History of Patty Proud," " The House that Jack 
 Built," " History of Little Jack," " Tom Thumb's 
 Lottery," etc. etc. So many years, however, had 
 elapsed since he had seen a copy of most of them, that
 
 xiv Preface. 
 
 he could not be quite sure. The publication of the 
 contemplated volume would be the most likely means 
 of showing that his critical eye was correct, by bring- 
 ing to light any remaining copies of these little books, 
 supposing such to exist ; and would thus tend still fur- 
 ther to increase our knowledge of those earlier labours, 
 which are and ever must be of peculiar interest, not 
 only for their own intrinsic excellence, but as exhibiting 
 the successive steps of that wonderful career which 
 ultimately led to such unparalleled results. 
 
 It will be observed that I have as a general rule 
 omitted all notice of the rarity and value of the arti- 
 cles described. This has been done unwillingly, but 
 designedly and indeed necessarily. In most of the 
 Divisions the statement that the article was rare would 
 have had to be repeated in the description of each, 
 whilst the value is so constantly rising that what 
 would be true at the moment of writing would 
 be altogether deceptive in a few months to come. 
 Even so lately as the nth of last December, at the 
 sale of the late Rev. Samuel Prince's library by 
 Messrs. Sotheby and Wilkinson, prices were given for 
 various lots which would have astonished collectors a 
 short time before. A set of India paper impressions 
 of the " Quadru])cds," for example, was sold for £\i. 
 5.y. The "Figures of British Land Birds," 8vo, 1800, 
 went for ,^6. lo.v. ; "yEsop," large paper, 1818, for 
 ^'7.15.'^.; "Select Fables," 1820, India proofs, for 
 ^18. 7.V. 6<'/., another copy for £i\. y. 6r/. ; and a 
 set of five volumes, in royal 8vo, the "Qiiadrupeds" of
 
 Preface. xv 
 
 1790, the "Birds" of 1797, 1804, "^Esop" of 181 8, 
 and "Select Fables" of 1820, with an indifferent impres- 
 sion of the Chillingham Bull, and Nicholson's copies of 
 Bewick's large cuts of the Lion, Tiger, Elephant, and 
 Zebra, for dBs^- With regard to more than one of 
 these lots, including that last named, a gentleman, who 
 was unintentionally absent, told me the following day 
 that he would have been prepared to bid more. It 
 was therefore manifestly impossible to advise the col- 
 lector as to the prices to be given. I could only in a 
 few instances inform him of what had been done, and 
 leave the matter to his own judgment. 
 
 I have appended to many of the articles a notice of 
 the sources from which they have been obtained. But 
 in the instance of many, and particularly in the case of 
 the names of private possessors, I have exercised con- 
 siderable caution, and have at all times suppressed it 
 where I had any fear that its mention would be un- 
 pleasant. It would have been an ill return for kindness 
 to add unnecessary pain to that which the parting with 
 such things must necessarily bring with it. 
 
 I have added an Index to the Books and Pamphlets, 
 as, by their being placed in chronological order, they 
 might be difficult to find without such assistance. The 
 Table of Contents at the beginning of the volume, 
 and the alphabetical arrangement in most of the sub- 
 sequent Divisions, preclude the necessity of the lengthy 
 index which would embrace the articles of the last 
 three hundred and fifty pages. 
 
 Among so many references and minute matters of

 fact it was hardly possible to avoid a few typographical 
 errors. The only ones, however, of the least importance 
 of which I am aware are the following : —

 In conclusion, I have the pleasing duty of present-

 impressions from which form a part of the embellish-

 BOOKS AND PAMPHLETS 
 
 ILLUSTRATED BY 
 
 THOMAS AND JOHN BEWICK. 
 
 In perusing the following Catalogue of Books and 
 Pamphlets, illustrated by the Bewicks, the Collector 
 should bear in mind, that — 
 
 1. I have generally given the title of each work at 
 full length, but in the case of a few, of more than usual 
 prolixity, or containing poetry and other unnecessary 
 additions, I have thought it enough to quote so much 
 only as suffices to identify them. The notices, how- 
 ever, which take this abbreviated form will be found 
 more than adequate to their intended purpose. Where 
 such details are needful, I have added an analysis, with 
 the number of pages, cuts, etc. 
 
 2. I have for the most part, and designedly, omitted 
 to state the various degrees of rarity which the articles 
 respectively possess. All of them, save the few which

 end the series, and have been pubhshed since the 
 artists' decease, are scarce, most are rare, some are all 
 but, and some altogether, unattainable. Many of the 
 earlier cuts were done for the cheapest publications, 
 children's books, and similar productions, and appear 
 alone in that form ; many also for firms and divers 
 purposes which have long since passed away. The 
 supply of these little volumes was even at the time 
 soon exhausted, and it is only by a happy accident 
 that of a number of them but a copy or two is known 
 to exist. 
 
 3. The same remark applies to the prices ; indeed no 
 certain rule can be given about them. The most ex- 
 traordinary sums are asked for and paid for what would 
 appear to the unlearned the most valueless and unin- 
 teresting articles. From the present state of the mar- 
 ket, and the still increasing avidity of collectors, it may 
 be fairly augured that the prices which I have appended 
 to some will progressively and largely increase ; while, 
 as to many of the articles to which no price is annexed, 
 it would appear, to quote the words of an eminent 
 bookseller lately used to myself, that " anything may 
 be asked and anything may be had." All, therefore, 
 that 1 can advise the Collector is, not so much to be 
 cautious against paying too dearly for what he gets, as 
 to be sure that what he gets is genuine. And to 
 this end I recommend to his careful attention my 
 following paragraph. 
 
 4. Although the Catalogue embraces a very large 
 number of works hitherto unnoticed, I have attempted
 
 Books and Pamplilels. 3 
 
 to exclude all which do not possess some claim, in- 
 trinsic or other, to be held to contain one or more of 
 the veritable productions of the artists. The necessity 
 for this process of elimination is daily becoming more 
 urgent. It has too long been the fashion to advertise 
 hundreds of books of very multifarious character, pub- 
 lished between the years 1767 and i860, as " contain- 
 ing engravings by Bewick." The Collector should 
 know that not one in twenty of such volumes has a 
 shadow of right to the honour sought for it. They 
 may have an interest of their own as the productions of 
 some local press, and, in rare instances, as embellished 
 with engravings of considerable merit, — sometimes, 
 indeed, copied from the genuine works of the artists, 
 — but none whatever as really connected with the great 
 masters under the shield of whose names they are er- 
 roneously — and not always innocently or honestly — 
 placed. The practice began in the lifetime of Thomas 
 Bewick himself, and was resented by him as a wrong, 
 and ridiculed as an absurdity ; but he little imagined 
 the extent to which it has since been resorted to, and 
 against which, to prevent subsequent disappointment, 
 the Collector should be duly put upon his guard. 
 
 The first number (in brackets) is the running num- 
 ber of the entire Collection ; the second that of the 
 particular Division ; and the third, where there is any, 
 that of the separate Copies or Impressions.

 X (1.) I- A Treatise on Mensuration, both in Theory 
 
 and Practice. By Charles Hutton. 
 
 Newcastle Upon Tyne : Printed by T. Saint, for the 
 Author, and for John Wilkie, in St. Paul's Church 
 Yard, and Richard Baldwin, in Paternoster Row, London. 
 1770. 
 
 This work, which has now become very rare, was pubhshed by 
 subscription, and in numbers. It was commenced in 1768, 
 and completed in 1770, and is dedicated to Hugh Percy, Duke 
 and Earl of Northumberland. The armorial bearings which 
 head the dedication are understood to have been engraved by 
 Beilby, as was the copper-plate at page 600. It contains 648 
 pages, besides xxvi of preface, etc. The diagrams were Thomas 
 Bewick's first attempts at wood-engraving, and in one of them 
 (page 42) he has introduced his favourite subject, the celebrated 
 'Steeple of St. Nicholas' Church, Newcastle.

 i2mo, pp. xxiv, 192. With sixty-five cats. The advertisement 
 calls this "a new and much improved Edition, with near 
 Twenty new Emblems never before printed, embellished with 
 a new set of cuts," etc. The greater part of tlie cuts, how- 
 ever, were those which were used in the previous editions of 
 1772 and 1775. They are very inditferent, and were most 
 probably executed by Lee, who did most if not all the illus- 
 trations for ' The Historical Pocket Library,' in six volumes, 
 printed at Bath, by S. Hazard, for Riley, in 1790. I am in- 
 clined to think that the cut before the Introduction, those at 
 pp. 32, 39, 41, 47, 122, and the last twelve cuts, which were 
 used for the first time in this edition, may possibly be the work 
 of John Bewick. But they do not add to his tame, either as 
 a designer or an engraver. 
 
 Good copy, in boards.

 lume Complete. 
 
 Newcastle : Printed by and for T. Saint, W. Charn-

 In the advertisement announcing the publication of this book. 
 Saint terms it " A new and elegant edition of Gay's Fables in 
 8vo, on fine writing foolscap, adorned with very curious cuts 
 and a finely engraved frontispiece ; some of these cuts have 
 gained the premium of the Royal Society," — alluding to the 
 five cuts, for the execution of which the Society of Arts pre- 
 sented Bewick with their medal. It is a i2mo, pp. viii, 252, 
 and contains 67 cuts of Fables and ^^ vignettes.

 A book, with nearly a similar title, was printed in Newcastle at 
 an early period, and having a miserable set of illustrations ; but 
 for this edition a new set of cuts was engraved by Thomas and 
 John Bewick, and the work was otherwise materially improved. 
 These cuts were then deemed superior to any of Bewick's 
 previous productions. After Saint's death, they became the 
 property of Hall and Elliot, his successors, who sold them to 
 Wilson and Spcnce, of York, who afterwards sold them tf) 
 Charnley, of Newcastle. Charnley had them retouched by
 
 Books and Pamphlets. 13

 There are considerable variations in the body of the work ; for in-

 are not in the first edition; the letter-press varies at pages 123, 
 143, 144, 145, 151, 152, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, etc. The parts 
 in verse are longer, while the Reflections are shorter.

 The cuts of the Roman Altars and otlier antiquities, and the Arms 
 and Seals of the Bishops, are by Thomas Bewick, and are in 
 general admirably executed. At tlie end of the second volume 
 is a tailpiece, also by him, containing the " S. H." of the pub- 
 lisher of the work. The copper-plate engravings are princi- 
 pally by Ralph Beilby. In his autobiography, Bewick thus 
 describes the labours of this period : — " Besides being kept busy 
 widi the routine business of our work-office, I was often en- 
 gaged in executing woodcuts for publishers and printers, at 
 various times from about the year 1788 to 1790. The first of 
 any importance was the woodcuts of Roman Altars, and the 
 Arms of the Bishops of Durham, for ' Hutchinson's History of 
 Durham,' in which my friend, the late George Allan, Esq., of 
 the Grange, Darlington, took a conspicuous part. A set of cuts 
 was done for Goldsmiths ' Deserted Village,' for Mr. Walker, 
 printer, of Hereford. Mr. Nicholson, printer, of Ludlow 
 and Poughnill, the publisher of ' Elegant Selections from Va- 
 rious Authors,' employed me to embellish some of tliese with 
 woodcuts. My old friend William Bulmer, of the Shakespeare 
 Printing-office, London, also employed me to execute the cuts 
 for Parnell's ' Hermit,' and Goldsmith's ' Deserted Village.'

 This work has a beautiful wood-engraving on the title, of a Ne- 
 gro kneeling, by Thomas Bewick. It was from the pen of 
 William Hutchinson, of Barnard Castle, Esq., the Historian of 
 Durham, etc., and was republished, but not reprinted, in the 
 same year by Hodgson, in Newcastle. It was again issued in 
 1792, when a new title was added, with the imprint of London, 
 for B. Law and Son, and F. Jollie, Carhsle. The cut has since 
 been used in part of the publications of the Anti-Slavery So- 
 ciety, and Religious Tract Society, of Newcastle. 
 
 " Bewick took a deal of pains with this cut. It was done for a 
 Society in London and Newcastle, 1787, in which there were 
 Sir John E. Swinburne, Mr. Thomas Biggc, and others, who 
 were particular friends. Jt has since been much hacked, by 
 being used for everything which had any allusion to Negroes 
 or tlie Slave Trade. Hutchinson stuck it into the title of his 
 Play or Poem, the Princess of Zanfara, 1789." MS. note of 
 the late Mr. John Bell.

 The following memoranda will be useful to the Collector. For 
 
 the number of copies I am indebted to information received 
 
 from the late Mr. John Bell, of Gateshead. 
 Of the first edition of the Quadrupeds fifteen hundred copies 
 
 were printed on demy, and one hundred on royal Svo, the 
 
 former being sold for S.v., and the latter for J2s. It contains
 
 Rooks and Pamplilets. 2,3 
 
 Pp. vnii, 456, and is illustrated by 200 figures and 104 tail- 
 pieces. 
 
 The second edition appeared the following year, the same num- 
 ber of demy copies being printed and sold at 9.s\ each, and 
 three hundred on royal, which were sold at 12^. The work 
 was increased to 483 pages, containing 212 figures and 108 
 tail-pieces, many of the latter in both this and the first edition 
 being reprinted, or given in duplicate. The principal addition 
 to this edition was the Bats. 
 
 The third edition, in 1792, was nearly a repruit of the second 
 the number of pages and illustrations being the same 5 the only 
 alterations occurring are, the addition of a note at page 392, 
 respecting the application of mole-skins in the manufacture of 
 hats, and the variation of several of the tail-pieces, diff^erent 
 ones occurring in the third edition at pages 16, 80, 87, 94, 
 192, 194, 207, 236, 290, 344, 351, 357, 386, 391, 398, and 
 419, from those in the second edition ; by which means the 
 repetition of the cuts of this nature, which occurred in the 
 two first editions, was avoided. The impression was of like 
 number and tlie price similar, and the edition was printed in 
 demy and royal octavo. 
 
 The fourth edition, which was published in 1800, shows a con- 
 siderable improvement. It contains 525 pages, and has 225 
 figures and 100 tail-pieces, and the Linnean names of the 
 animals are introduced. This is the first edition of which im- 
 perial paper copies were taken ; the impression was as fol- 
 lows : — Two hundred and thirty on imperial 8vo, which sold 
 at %\s. ; tliree hundred on royal 8vo, at i^-^- j and one thou- 
 sand on demy 8vo, at \os. 6d. On tlie publication of this 
 edition some diflPerence arose between Messrs. Beilby, Bewick, 
 and Hodgson, as to the disposal of the copies ; and it was 
 finally arranged that each party should have a third share of 
 the edition, and dispose of it as he should think fit. Beilby, 
 having then retired from business, sold his share to Mr. John 
 Bell, bookseller, of Newcastle ; in consequence of which, we 
 find his name introduced into the title of a portion of this
 
 24 The Bewick Collector . 
 
 edition. Mr. Beilby soon after sold his interest in the copy- 
 right and engravings of the work to Mr. Bewick. 
 
 An edition in 8vo was printed at New York in 1804, under the 
 title of " A General History of Quadrupeds. The figures 
 engraved on wood, chiefly copied from the original of T. Be- 
 wick. By A. Anderson. First American Edition. With an 
 Appendix, containing some American Animals not hitherto 
 described. New York : Printed by G. & R. Waite, No. 64, 
 Maiden Lane, 1804." Some of the cuts in this volume are 
 truly wonderful copies of the originals, and an inspection of 
 them would stagger not a few who are accustomed to attribute 
 to "Bewick" every engraving of more than ordinary ability 
 produced at the time when these were published. The book 
 may be seen in the British Museum. 
 
 The fifth edition was not published until 1807, and was then 
 printed by Edward Walker, of Newcastle. In it there appears 
 an addition of one figure and one tail-piece on the same 
 number of pages. None of this edition was printed on royal 
 paper. The price of the book was now advanced to i^s. for 
 the demy, and £1. lis. 6d. for the imperial copies. 
 
 The sixth edition is again similar to the fifth, consisting of the 
 same number of pages and illustrations. It appeared in 181 1, 
 and was printed on demy paper only, the price being further 
 raised to 21^. Bewick sold his share of this edition to Messrs. 
 Longman and Co., of London. (See one of the autograph 
 letters, dated 22 July, i8n.) 
 
 The seventh edition was issued in 1820, and the eighth in 1824, 
 but they are both very similar to that of 181 1. Of both edi- 
 tions, copies were printed on imperial, royal, and demy paper 
 the- prices being a^'i. i,v. for the demy, e£i. lis. 6d. for the 
 royal, and ,£2. is. for the imperial paper. 
 
 The descriptions in the History of Quadrupeds were written by 
 Mr. Beilby, at that time j^artner with Bewick. Mr. Beilby 
 died 4th January, 18 17, in his 74th year.

 am doubtful whether either Thomas or John Bewick had a 
 hand in any of them. The heads of the Kings of England are 
 more like their work than any of the oilier cuts, but even in 
 these the graver of Lee is plainly discernible. It is with con- 
 siderable reluctance tliat I give this work a place in the pre-

 Most of the cuts were drawn by Robert Johnson and John Be- 
 wick, and all were engraved by Thomas Bewick except the 
 vignettes on tlie title-pages, the large cut of " The Sad His- 
 torian," and the tail-piece at the end of the voliune, which 
 were done by John Bewick. 
 
 A magnificent result of the efforts of the wood-engraver, type- 
 founder, papermaker, and printer. 
 
 Bulmer, speaking in his Advertisement of the illustrations to the 
 work, says that they were all engraved on wood by two oi his 
 "earliest acquaintances, Messrs. Bewicks, of Newcastle-upon- 
 Tyne and London, after designs made from the most interest- 
 ing passages of the Poems they embellish. They have been 
 executed with great care, and I may venture to say, without 
 being supposed to be influenced by ancient friendship, that 
 they form the most extracrdinary effort of the art of engraving

 The Institution from which these Tracts emanated was opened in 
 March, 1795, and put forth a number of publications during 
 that and following years. Two or three were published every 
 month, and the usual cost was a halfpenny or a penny. They 
 have assumed of late years a very exaggerated value, some of 
 them being illustrated by John Bewick, who also, I think, was 
 the designer of some cuts engraved by Lee for the same series. 
 I possess the following, the illustrations in which are supposed 
 to be the productions of John Bewick. They are in i2mo, 
 and usually have a cut on the title.

 (94.) 89. The Chase. A Poem. By William So- 
 mervile, Esq. 
 
 London : Printed by W. Bulmer and Co., Shak- 
 speare Printing Office, Cleveland Row. 1796. 
 
 The first edition of this beautiful book was printed in the above 
 year, in royal 4to ; three copies being done on vellum. 
 
 The second edition appeared in 1802, and was printed in super- 
 royal Bvo. This work contains the best specimens of John 
 Bewick's abilities as a designer ; all die cuts were drawn by 
 him, except one, but none of them were engraved by him. 
 Shortly after he had finished the drawings on the blocks, he 
 returned to the North, in consetjuence of ill-health. They 
 were engraved by Thomas Bewick, witli the exception of the 
 tail-piece at the end of the volume, which was engraved by 
 Nesbit. Speaking of the deatli of John Bewick, a writer in 
 the ' Gentleman's Magazine ' says, "The works of this young 
 artist will be held in estimation ; and the engravings to 'Somer. 
 vile's Chase' will be a monument of Fame of more celebrity 
 than marble can bestow.'

 The printed date of 1797 on the title is therefore correct, 
 although accompanied by the advertisement, and not used to 
 falsify subsequent impressions, as some have supposed.

 sheets of the work, with the corrections of Bewick's own hand.
 
 42 The Beicich Collector. 
 
 William Garret, Newcastle-upon-Tyne." MS. note on the fly- 
 leaf by the late Mr. W. Garret, from whom tlie volume was 
 obtained. 
 
 This volume, which from its nature must be unique, consists of 
 the proof sheets of nearly the whole of the first volume of the 
 first edition, with numberless corrections and interesting addi- 
 tions in Thomas Bewick's handwriting. Many lines are can- 
 celled, and in the subsequent impression omitted accordingly. 
 There are also orders about the insertion and removal of the 
 engravings; as, for instance, for that of the Nest from the 
 end of the Preface to what was previously a blank space at 
 the head of it, a position which tliat beautiful vignette has con- 
 tinued to occupy in all the editions. Most of the leaves are 
 printed on one side only, being merely struck off for the au- 
 thor's perusal and correction. When they had received these, 
 they were happily preserved by some one in the Printing Office, 
 and soon found their way to the hands of Mr. Garret, from 
 whom, as already stated, tliis most interesting relic was ob- 
 tained. 
 
 In tlie Preface, dated September, 1797, Mr. Beilby says : — " It 
 may be proper to observe, that while one of the Editors of 
 this work was engaged in preparing tlie engravings, tlie com- 
 pilation of the descriptions was undertaken by the other, sub- 
 ject, however, to the corrections of his friend, whose habits had 
 led him to a more intimate acquaintance with this branch of 
 Natural History." These proof-sheets enable us to know tliat 
 Bewick's " corrections " of his partner's copy were numerous, 
 and very frequently most important.

 Mr. Atkinson says : — " What adds not a little to the value of the 
 4to copies of Bewick's works is the fact that no more are likely 
 to be printed in that manner ; for from want of support, af- 
 forded by adjacent types, the blocks were unable to sustain tlie 
 requisite pressure, and many of them were injured : the bill of 
 one of the Crows, and that of the Nightingale, among odiers, 
 being broken. In consequence of these accidents to the blocks, 
 the autlior was determined that no more should be printed 
 without the letter-press, and as his family seem of the same 
 opinion, there appears little probability of their increase."

 For the statistical portion of the following I am indebted to the 
 late Mr. John Bell, of Gateshead. 
 
 The first edition of tlie first volume of the 'History of British Birds' 
 (containing ^^^ pages, exclusive of xxxii of introduction, etc., 
 illustrated by 117 figures of Birds and 91 tail-pieces) appeared 
 in 1797, and consisted of one thousand copies on demy 8vo, 
 which were published at io.v. 6d., and eight hundred and fifty 
 on thin, and the like number on thick royal, at i^s. and i^s. 
 each, and twenty-four on imperial paper, at 21s. each ; and the 
 following year, 1798, a further impression, also bearing date 
 1797, was printed as follows: — Seven hundred and fifty on 
 demy, six hundred and sixty-nine on royal, and two hundred 
 and seven on imperial. The first edition of volume 2 (consist- 
 ing of 400 pages, exclusive of xx of introduction, etc., illustrated 
 by 10 1 figures and 139 vignettes) appeared in 1804, and a 
 similar number were printed on demy paper at i2.v. each, on 
 thin royal paper at 15,?. each, thick royal paper at i8i. each, 
 and on imperial paper at 24,s. The text of Volume I. was
 
 Books and Pamphlets, 47 
 
 written by Mr. Beilby, and corrected, as we have already 
 seen, by Bewick j that of Volume II. by Mr. Bewick, assisted 
 by the Rev. H. Cotes, then Vicar of Bedlington, Co. North- 
 umberland. 
 
 The back of the last page of volume i. is sometimes blank, 
 sometimes with advertisement of the third, and sometimes with 
 that of the fourth edition of the "Quadrupeds." 
 
 The second edition of both volumes was published in 1805 : vo- 
 lume I, containing 346 pages (exclusive of introduction, etc.) 
 illustrated by 118 figures and 117 vignettes or tail-pieces; and 
 volume 2, consisting of 400 pages (exclusive of introduction, 
 etc.) with 103 figures and 133 tail-pieces. No copies of this 
 edition were printed on demy paper. 
 
 The third edition, published in 1809, was printed on demy paper 
 only. The impressions of the cuts in this edition are con- 
 sidered by some to be superior to those in any other, owing, it 
 is supposed, to the peculiar quality of the paper, which is of a 
 soft and spongj^ nature. 
 
 The fourth edition was also printed only on demy 8vo, in 18 16 3 
 it contains 729 pages, viz. Volume I., 329 pages, and Volume 
 II., 400 pages. 
 
 The fifth edition appeared in 182 1, to which was added the Sup- 
 plement. 
 
 The sixth edition, printed in 1826, was the last superintended 
 in its passage through the press by Bewick himself. Copies 
 were printed on imperial, royal, and demy paperj Volume I. 
 contains pp. xliv, 394, with 157 figures, and Volume II., 
 pp. xxii, 432, with 143 figures, besides the 14 figures of 
 Foreign Birds. The Supplement is incorporated with this 
 edition. 
 
 A seventh edition was printed in 1832, and an eighth in 18475 
 the last of which is peculiarly interesting, from the many and 
 previously unpublished tail-pieces with which it is embel- 
 lished. 
 
 The best of Bewick's cuts appeared in the first edition of his 
 "British Birds;" for though many new cuts were inserted in
 
 48 The Beuick Collector. 
 
 the subsequent editions, yet they are not equal to the best of 
 those which had previously appeared. When the second 
 volume was published, Bewick had attained his fiftieth year, 
 and though he continued to draw and engrave for many years 
 afterwards, with a skill peculiarly his own, he produced no- 
 thing to extend that fame which he had already so deservedly 
 acquired. 
 
 It is said that "in after years Bewick advanced an opinion that 
 light, or rather grey, impressions were the best ; but the key 
 to the matter was, he was always afraid of too great a pressure 
 injuring the blocks, and to a very serious extent his fears were 
 justifial)le 3 as may be inferred from the fact that, among a 
 multitude of other and constant renovations, the Blackbird has 
 had six bills !" 
 
 The Bewick Collector will be glad to possess at one view some of 
 the criticisms which have been passed upon these matchless 
 productions. 
 
 " Have we forgotten," says Professor Wilson in ' Blackwood's 
 Magazine' for June, 1828, "in our hurried and imperfect 
 enumeration of wise worthies, — have we forgotten * The Ge- 
 nius that dwells on the banks of the Tyne'? the matchless, 
 inimitable Bewick? No. His books lie on our parlour, bed- 
 room, dining-room, drawing-room, and study table, and are 
 never out of place or time. Happy old man ! The dehght 
 of childhood, manhood, decaying age ! A moral in every 
 tail-piece — a sermon in every vignette. Not as if from one 
 fountain flows the stream of his inspired spirit, gurgling from 
 the Crawley Spring so many thousand gallons of the element 
 every minute, and feeding but one city, our own Edinburgh. 
 But it rather oozes out from unnumbered springs. Here from 
 one scarcely perceptible, but in the vivid green of the lone- 
 some sward, from which it trickles away into a little mountain 
 rill — here leaping into sudden life, as from the rock — here 
 bubbling from a silver pool, overshadowed by a birch-tree — 
 here like a well asleep in a moss-grown cell, built by some 
 thoughtful recluse in the old monastic day, with a few words
 
 Books and Pamphlets. 49 
 
 from Scripture, or some rude eugraving, religious as Scripture, 
 Omne honum desuper — Opera Dei winficn.'^ 
 
 The writer of a long and able retrospective review of Bewick's 
 works, in the 'British Quarterly Review' for November, 1845, 
 says, " In addition to the figures of the birds, which are beau- 
 tifully executed, the artist had adorned the work with a pro- 
 fusion of those exquisite tail-pieces, which, whetlier we con- 
 template their admirable design, their nature, their truth, or 
 the humour and keen satire, or powerful morality, which are 
 so often superadded and transfused, certainly divide our admi- 
 ration with the principal objects of the work. The sheer truth 
 of Bewick's drawing was, perhaps, hardly ever matched, cer- 
 tainly never exceeded. Whether his subject be animated or 
 lifeless, in motion or at rest, he at once seizes and impresses its 
 form and character. Verisimilitude is too weak a word for 
 some of his most finished portraitures. They are not like the 
 truth, they are the truth itself. In some of his Quadrupeds 
 and Birds, we have not only the form and action of the animal, 
 but its very air and physiogonomy." 
 
 The distinguished ornithologist Audubon writes of Bewick — 
 " He was purely a son of nature, to whom alone we owe all 
 that characterized him as an artist and as a man. Look at his 
 tail-pieces, reader, and say if you ever saw so much life repre- 
 sented before, from the Glutton, who precedes the Great Black- 
 backed Gull, to the youngsters flying their kite ; the disap- 
 pointed sportsman, who, by killing a magpie, has lost a wood- 
 cock j the horse endeavouring to reach the water; the bull 
 roaring near the stile ; or the poor beggar attacked by the rich 
 man's mastiff. As you turn each successive leaf from beain- 
 ning to end of his admirable books, scenes calculated to excite 
 your admiration everywhere present themselves. Assuredly 
 you wiU agree with me in tliinking that in his peculiar path 
 none has e(jualled him." 
 
 " Of Bewick's powers," says a writer in ' Blackwood's Edinburo-h 
 Magazine' for July, 1825, "the most extraordinary is the per- 
 fect and undeviating accuracy with which he seizes and trans- 
 
 E

 fers to paper the natural objects which it is his delight to dra\\'. 
 His landscapes are absolute facsimiles ; his animals are whole- 
 length portraits. It needs only to glance at his \vorks, to con- 
 vince ourselves with what wonderful felicity the very counte- 
 nance and air of his animals are marked and distinguished. 
 There is tlie grave owl, the silly wavering lapwing, the pert 
 jay, the impudent over-fed sparrow, the airy lark, the sleepy- 
 headed gourmand duck, tlie restless titmouse, the insignificant 
 wren, tlie clean harmless gull, the keen rapacious kite — every 
 one has character. This is far beyond the mere pencilling of 
 far or feathers. It is the seizure and transfusion of countenance. 
 In this, Bewick's skill seems unapproached and unapproachable, 
 by any other artist who has ever attempted this line. His vi- 
 gnettes are just as remarkable. Take his ' British Birds,' and in 
 the tail-pieces to these two volumes, you shall find the most 
 touching presentation of nature in all her forms, animate and 
 inanimate. There are the poachers tracking a hare in the 
 snow, and tlie urchins who have accomplished the creation of 
 a ' snow man.' In the humorous, there are the disappointed 
 beggar leaving the gate open for the pigs and poultry to march 
 over the good dame's linen which she is laying out to dry — or, 
 what a Methodist would call profane, the cat stealing the old 
 man's dinner, whilst he is devoutly saying grace — or the thief 
 who sees devils in every bush and stump of a tree, a sketch that 
 Hogarth himself might envy. Then, in another strain, there is 
 the strayed infant standing at the horse's heels and pulling its 
 tail, the mother in an agony flying over the stile — the sports- 
 man who has slipped into the torrent, and the blind man and 
 boy unconscious of ' keep on this side.' In the satiric, there 
 is that best of burlesques upon military pomp, the four urchins 
 astride of gravestones for horses, the first blowing a glass trumpet, 
 and the odiers bedizened in tatters, with rush caps and wooden 
 swords." 
 " Nor must we pass over his sea-side sketches — all inimitable.

 going at least ten knots an hour? The tired gulls sitting on

 the waves, every curled head of which seems big with mischief. 
 What pruning of plumage, what stalkings and flappings, and 
 scratchings of the sand, are not depicted in that collection of 
 sea-birds on the shore ? What desolation is there in that sketch 
 of coast after a storm, with the solitary rock, the ebb tide, tlie 
 crab just venturing out, and the mast of the sunken vessel 
 standing up through the treacherous waters ? What truth and 
 minute nature is in that tide coming in, each wave rolling 
 higher than his predecessor, like a line of conquerors, and 
 pouring in amidst the rocks with increasing aggression ? And 
 last and best, — there are his fishing scenes. What angler's 
 heart but beats, when he sees the pool fisher deep in the water, 
 his rod bending almost double with the rush of some tremen- 
 dous trout or heavy salmon ? Who does not recognise his 
 boyish days in the fellow with the ' set rods,' sheltering himself 
 from the soaking rain behind an old tree ? What fisher has 
 not seen yon ' old codger ' sitting by the river side, peering 
 over his tackle, and putting on a brandling ? It is needless to 
 recapitulate. Bewick's landscapes, in short, are upon the same 
 principle with his animals. They are, for the most part, por- 
 traits. They are the result of the keenest and most accurate 
 observation. You perceive every stone and bunch of grass has 
 had actual existence. His moors are north-country moors, 
 neither Scotch nor English. They are the progeny of Cheviot, 
 of Rumpside, of Simonside, and of the Carter. The tail-piece 
 of the old man, pointing out to his boy an ancient monumental 
 stone, reminds one of the Milfield Plain and Floddeu Field, 
 Having only delineated that in which he himself had taken 
 dehght, we may deduce his character from his pictures. His 
 warm-hearted love of his native country, its scenery, its man- 
 ners, its airs, its men and women 5 his propensity 
 ' by himself to wander 
 Adown some trolling burn's meander. 
 An' no think lang ;'

 and somewhat coarse humour, his fondness for maxims and old

 saws, his views of worldly prudence now and then ' cropping 
 out,' as miners call it, into daylight, his passion for the sea- 
 side, and his delight in the angler's 'solitary trade.' All this, 
 and more, the admirer of Bewick may deduce from his 
 sk'Ctchcs." 
 
 " How vividly Bewick delineated," says a writer in the ' Spectator' 
 ne\\spaper, " the ' hedgerow elms and hillocks green' of Eng- 
 lish scenery, and the idle bustle of a village, with boys scam- 
 pering and hallooing, and geese and poultry fluttering and 
 screaming ! The very atmosphere seems breezy in which his 
 trees wave to the wind, and the fallows of the uplands almost 
 look moist under the spongy clouds." 
 
 " While speaking of the English school," says Leslie in his ' Hand- 
 book for Young Painters,' " I must not omit to notice a truly 
 original genius, who, though not a painter, was an artist of the 
 highest order in his way— Thomas Bewick, the admirable de- 
 signer and engraver on wood. The woodcuts that illustrate 
 his books of natural history may be studied with advantage by 
 the most ambitious votary of the highest classes of art — filled 
 as they are by the truest feeling for nature, and often represent- 
 ing the most ordinary objects, yet never, in a single instance, 
 degenerating into common-place. The charming vignettes 
 that ornament these books abound in incidents from real life, 
 diversified by genuine humour, as well as by the truest pathos — 
 of which the single figure of a shipwrecked sailor saying his 
 prayers on a rock, with the waves rising round him, is an in- 
 stance. There is often in these little things a deep meaning 
 that places his art on a level with styles which the world is apt 
 to consider as greatly above it, in proof of which I would 
 mention the })arty of boys playing at soldiers among graves, 
 and mounted on a row of upright tombstones for horses ; 
 while for quaint humour, extracted from a very simple source, 
 may be noticed a procession of geese which have just waddled 
 through a stream, while their line of march is continued by a 
 row of stepping-stones. The student of landscape can never 
 consult the works of Bewick without improvement. The

 backgrounds to the figures of his Quadrupeds and his Birds, 
 and his vignettes, have a charm of nature quite his ovvn. He 
 gives us, in these, every season of the year 5 and his trees, 
 vi'hether in the clothing of summer, or in the nakedness of 
 winter, are the trees of an artist bred in the country. He is 
 equally true in his little home scenes, his farmyards and cot- 
 tages, as in the wild coast scenery, with the flocks of sea-birds 
 wheeling round the rocks. In one of these subjects there 
 stands a ruined church, towards which the sea has encroached, 
 the rising tide threatening to submerge a tombstone raised ' to 
 perpetuate the memory,' etc. Bewick resembles Hogarth in 
 this, that his illustrations of the stories of others are not to be 
 compared with his own inventions. His feeling for the beau- 
 ties of nature as they were impressed on him directly, and not 
 at second-hand, is akin to the feeling of Burns, and his own 
 designs remind me, therefore, much more of Burns than the 
 few which he made from the poet." 
 
 Mr. Jackson, who was a pupil of Bewick's, and gained consider- 
 able celebrity as a wood-engraver, speaking of the illustrations, 
 says, " Nothing of the same kind that wood-engraving has 
 produced since the time of Bewick can for a moment bear a 
 comparison with these cuts. They are not to be equalled till 
 a designer and engraver shall arise possessed of Bewick's know- 
 ledge of nature, and endowed with his happy talent of ex- 
 pressing it. Bewick has, in this respect, effected more by him- 
 self, than has been produced by one of our best wood-engravers 
 when working from drawings made by a professional designer, 
 but who knows nothing of birds, of their habits, or the places 
 which they frequent, and has not the slightest feeling for na- 
 tural incident aud picturesque beauty. No mere facsimile en- 
 graver of a drawing ready made to his hand should venture to 
 speak lightly of Bewick's talents until he has both drawn and 
 engraved a cut which may justly challenge a comparison with 
 the Kyloe Ox, the Yellow-hammer, the Partridge, the Wood- 
 cock, or the Tame Duck." 
 
 " The following may be mentioned as the best of the Tail-pieces

 in the first edition of the ' Quadrupeds,' and as those whieh most 
 decidedly^ dispUiy Bewick's talents in depicting, without exag- 
 geration, natural and humorous incidents. In this respect he 
 has been excelled by no other artist either of past or present 
 times. The Elephant, foreshortened, at page 1625 the Boy 
 and Cat, 195 ; the Old Man crossing a ford, mounted on an 
 old horse, which carries in addition, two heavy sacks, 244 ; the 
 Bear-ward, with his Wife and Companion, leading Bruin, and 
 accompanied by his dancing dogs — a gallows seen in the dis- 
 tance, 256; a Fox with magpies flying after him, indicating his 
 course to his pursuers, 265 ; Two unfeeling fellows enjoying 
 the pleasure of hanging a dog — a gibbet seen in the distance, 
 to denote that those who could thus quietly enjoy the dying 
 struggles of a dog, would not be unlikely to murder a man, 
 2745 a Man eating his dinner with his dog sitting beside him, 
 expecting his share, 285 ; Old blind man led by a dog, crossing 
 a bridge of a single plank, and wdth the rail broken, in a storm 
 of wind and rain, 320 ; a Mad Dog pursued by three men, a 
 feeble old woman directly in the dog's way, 324 j a Man with 
 a bundle at his back, crossing a stream on stilts, 337 ; a Winter 
 piece, a man travelling in the snow, 339 : a grim-visaged old man, 
 accompanied by a cur dog, driving an old sow, 371 ; two boys 
 and an ass on a common, the ass remaining immoveable, in 
 spite of the application of a branch of furze to his hind quar- 
 ters, while the yovmg graceless who is mounted evidently en- 
 joys his seat, 375 ; a Man leaping, by means of a pole, a 
 stream, across which he has previously thrown his stick and 
 bag, 391 ; a Man carrying a bundle of faggots on the ice, 395 ; 
 a Wolf falling into a trap, 430 ; and two Blind Fiddlers and a 
 Boy, the last in the book, at 4^56. In this cut Bewick has re- 
 presented the two blind fiddlers earnestly scraping away, al- 
 though there is no one to listen to their strains : the bare-legged 
 boy who leads them, and the half-starved melancholy-looking 
 dog at their heels, are in iidiuinible keeping with the principal 
 characters. 
 " The principal Tail-pieces, aiUknl to these alreach enumerated, in
 
 Books and Pamphlets. 55 
 
 the later editions of the ' Quadrupeds,' are — Greyhound cours- 
 ing, at the end of the index ; the Old Coachman and Young 
 Squire, 12 ; Tinker's children in a pair of panniers on the back 
 of an ass, 21 ; a Cow drinking, 28 5 Winter scene, 34 ; Two 
 men digging, 37 ; Dog worrying a sheep, 62 ; Old Soldier 
 travelling in the rain, 117 ; Smelling, tail-piece to the Genet, 
 a strong bit, 269 ; Drunken man making his dam, 371 ; and 
 Seals on a large piece of floating ice, 510. In the cut of a 
 sour-visaged old fellow going with corn to the mill, we have 
 an exemplification of cruelty not unworthy of Hogarth. The 
 over-laden, half-starved old horse, broken-kneed, greasy-heeled, 
 and evidently troubled with the string-halt, as is indicated by 
 the action of the oft' hind leg, hesitates to descend the brae, 
 at the foot of which there is a stream, and the old brute on 
 his back urges him forward by working him, as jockeys say, 
 witli the halter, and beating him with his stick. In the dis- 
 tance, Bewick, as was usual with him when he gave a sketch 
 of cruelty or knavery, has introduced a gallows. The misera- 
 ble appearance of the poor animal is not a little increased by 
 the nakedness of his hind quarters ; his stump of a tail is so 
 short that it will not even serve as a catch for the crupper. In 
 the cut of the child, unconscious of its danger, pulling at the 
 long tail of a young unbroken colt, the story is most admirably 
 told. The nurse, who is seen engaged with her sweet-heart 
 by the side of tlie hedge, has left the child to wander at will, 
 and thus expose itself to destruction ; while the mother, who 
 has accidentally perceived the danger of her darling, is seen 
 hastening over the stile, regardless of the steps, in an ao-ony 
 of fear. The backward glance of the horse's eye, and the 
 heel raised ready to strike, most forcibly suggest the dano-er to 
 which the unthinking infant is exposed. 
 " The sentiment also which another cut displays is the true off- 
 spring of genius. Near to a ruined cottage, while all around 
 is covered with snow, a lean and hungry ewe is seen nibbling- 
 at an old broom, while her young and weakly lamb is suckino- 
 her milkless teats. Such a picture of animal want, conceived
 
 ^6 Tlie Beiiich Collector. 
 
 with so much fechng, :iiid so well expressed, has perhaps never 
 been represented by any artist, except Bewick. 
 
 "The Tail-pieces, however, in the first edition of the ' Birds" are, 
 taken altogether, the best that are to be found in any of Be- 
 wick's works. The head-piece at the commencement of the 
 introduction presents an excellent view of a farmyard. Every- 
 thing is true to nature : the birds assembled round the old woman 
 seen winnowing corn are, though on a small scale, represented 
 with the greatest fidehty ; even among tlie smallest, the wagtail 
 can be distinguished from the sparrow. The dog, feeling no 
 interest in the business, is seen quietly resting on the dunghill ; 
 but the chuckling of the hens, announcing that something like 
 eating is going forward, has evidently excited the attention of 
 the old sow, and brought her and her litter into the yard in the 
 expectation of getting a share. The season, the latter end of 
 autumn, is indicated by the flight of fieldfares, and the com- 
 paratively naked appearance of the trees, and we perceive that 
 it is a clear bright day, from the strong shadow of the ladder 
 projected against the wall, and on the thatched roof of the 
 outhouse. A heron, a crow, and a magpie are perceived nailed 
 against the gable end of tlie barn ; and a couple of pigeons are 
 seen flying above the house. The cut forms at once an in- 
 teresting picture of country life, and a graphic summary of the 
 contents of the work. 
 
 " Among the Tail-pieces drawn and engraved by Bewick himself, 
 in the first edition of the ' Birds,' the following appear most de- 
 ser\ing of notice. In volume i. : A traveller drinking, sup- 
 posed to represent a sketch of his own costume when making 
 a tour of the Lakes in 17765 A man watering, in a diflerent 
 sense to the preceding, a very natural, though not a very deli- 
 cate subject, at p. 42 ; at p. 62, an old miller, lying asleep 
 behind some bushes ; he has evidently been tipsy, and from 
 the date on a stone to the left, we are led to suj^pose that he 
 has been indulging too freely on the Kings ])irtluhiy, the 4th 
 of June. Two cows standing in a pool, luider the shade of a 
 dyke-back, on a ^\'arm day, page 74. In this cut Bewick has
 
 Books and Pamphlets. 57 
 
 introduced a sketch of a magpie chased by a hawk, but saved 
 from the talons of its pursuer by the timely interference of a 
 couple of crows. Winter scene, at page 78 5 some boys have 
 made a large snow-man, which excites the special wonderment 
 of a horse ; and Bewick to give the subject a moral application, 
 has added ' Esto perpetua /' at the bottom of the cut ; the 
 . great work of the little men, however they may admire it and 
 wish for its endurance, will be dissolved on the first thaw. At 
 page 97 the appearance of mist and rain is well expressed ; 
 and in the cut of a poacher tracking a hare, the snow is no less 
 naturally represented. At page 157, a man riding with a 
 ' howdy' behind him, part of the cut appears covered with a 
 leaf. Bewick once being asked the meaning of this, said that 
 ' it was done to indicate that the scene which was to follow 
 required to be concealed.' At page 194 we perceive a full-fed 
 old churl hanging his cat 3 at page 226, a hen attacking a dog; 
 and at page 281, two cocks fighting: all three excellent of 
 their kind. 
 
 " Bewick's humour occasionally verges on positive indelicacy 3 and 
 a very glaring instance of it presents itself in the Tail-piece of 
 the first edition of the 'Birds,' vol. i, p. 285. After the work 
 was printed off Bewick became aware that the nakedness of a 
 prominent part of his subject required to be covered, and one 
 of his apprentices was employed to blacken the copies over 
 with ink. In this state are the impressions of this vignette, in 
 the first edition ; the colouring matter, however, is not so 
 dense as to hinder the cut from being almost, if not altoo-ether, 
 as intelligible as it was before its application. In tlie next 
 edition a plug was inserted in the block, and the representation 
 of two bars of wood engraved upon it, to hide the offensive 
 part. The cut, however, even thus amended, is still extremely 
 indehcate. 
 
 " The head-piece to the contents presents an excellent sketch of an 
 old man going to market on a windy and rainy day. The old 
 horse on which he is mounted has become restive, and the 
 rider has both broken his stick and lost his lial. The horse

 seems determined not to move till it suits his own pleasure ; 
 and it is evident the old man dare not get down to recover his 
 hat ; for, should he do so, encumbered as he is with a heavy 
 basket over his left arm and an egg pannier slung over his 
 shoulder, he will not be able to remount." 
 The following are perhaps the principal among the multitude of 
 exquisite tail-pieces in the first edition of the second volume of 
 the ' Birds' (1804). Boys sailing boats, frontispiece. Recogni- 
 tion, page V. Crossing a stream, page 3. The Broken Branch, 
 page 31. A Churchyard, page 166. Geese going home, page 
 271. Boys riding on tombstones, page 304. Boys flying a 
 kite, page 9. Evading the toll, page 173. Ruminating, page 
 337. The inimitable Fishing Scenes, pp. 18, 23, 41, 46, 50, 
 52, 151, 370. Shooting Scenes, pp. 58, 82, 200, 319. Sea 
 Side Sketches, pp. xx, 6, 123, 125, 136, 138, 144, 1 156, 161, 
 182, t88, 2t^, 217, 230, 238, 240, 245, 359, ^66, 400. 
 And not less beautiful are the following. A sportsman, with 
 a gun at his back, crossing a stream on long stilts, page 5. 
 An old wooden-legged beggar gnawing a bone near the en- 
 trance to a gentleman's house, and a dog beside him, eagerly 
 watching for the reversion, page 27. A dog with a kettle 
 tied to his tail, pursued by boys ; a great hulking fellow, evi- 
 dently a blacksmith, standing with folded arms enjoying the 
 sport, page 56. A man crossing a frozen stream, with a branch 
 of a tree between his legs, to support him, should the ice 
 happen to break, page 85. A monkey basting 'a goose that 
 is seen roasting, page 263. An old woman with a pitcher, 
 driving away some geese from a well, page 291. An old beg- 
 gar-woman assailed by a gander, page 313. The mention of 
 each of these inimitable vignettes will recall most pleasant re- 
 membrances to the admirer of the wondcrt'ul artist who pro- 
 duced them.

 i2mo. Pp. xi, 34. With two very beautiful engravings on 
 wood, and an etching on copper, by Thomas Bewick. 
 
 A very fine copy, in a paper cover, uncut. 
 
 This work was written by Henry Utrick Reay, Esq., of KilHng- 
 worth, near Newcastle, and was published in June, 1801. 
 Very few copies were printed, and fewxr still were published, 
 which are now of great rarity. 
 
 "The ' Sportsman's Friend,' witli three cuts by Thomas Bewick 
 in his best and boldest style, was written in 1801, by Henry 
 Utrick Reay, Esq., of Killingworth, near Newcastle, who was 
 at great expense in getting it up ; but, as the ' invention ' was 
 laughed at, he withdrew it from public sale when very few 
 had been sold, and, I believe, destroyed 'nearly all tlie copies. 
 Mr. Reay was a patron of the famous Stubbs, and had several 
 of his horses painted by him. Mr. Reay was a little slender 
 man, and rode nothing but ponies. The black pony, the bay, 
 and the white were all painted by Stubbs, and from these 
 paintings our * Newcastle Atkinson ' reduced the drawings for 
 the engraver. In the course of my life, three or four copies 
 of the ' Sportsman's Friend ' have passed through my hands, 
 with only two cuts ; which I account for by the parties taking 
 out the Black Pony to frame, it having so much the character 
 of Bewick's peculiar style about it. Mr. Reay was a great 
 landowner, and one of our largest coalowners ; and had filled 
 the office of High Sherift' for the County of Northumberland. 
 He was a good, kind, charitable man, and did everything in 
 his own way ; the poor getting a good share of the thousands a 
 year he * tossed away.' " 
 " The last copy I had of the ' Sportsman's Friend ' was in Au- 
 gust, 1845, which had only two cuts, was much soiled and 
 damaged, and was sold the first day after my Catalogue was 
 published ; and I am quite sure I had twenty or more orders 
 for it afterwards." Mr. W. Garret, 1849.

 The original wood-blocks are in my possession [See the Division

 stereotypes, as was Catnach and Davison's constant practice. 
 They rarely or never printed from their blocks, but from stereo- 
 types taken from them. I have seen the whole of this popular 
 book, engravings and letterpress, on a set of stereotype plates 
 which came from Davison's printing-office.

 1 have inserted the pubHcations of Davison in the present Cata- 
 logue from the fact that it is indisputable that many of the en- 
 gravings which embellish them not only came out of Bewick's 
 workshop, but received at least their final touches from his own 
 hand. Many were, doubtless, not so dignified, but from a 
 large number the honour cannot be withheld. 
 
 " As to Davison's ' Natural History,' I was told by Davison himself 
 that many of the cuts were engraved by Bewick ; and indeed, 
 you will find the following father themselves, — the Lion, 
 Tiger, Panther, Ass, Dog, etc. etc., — although they were en- 
 graved at a very low figure. This set is extremely desirable to 
 the Bewick Collector ; as the Fishes, Reptiles, and Insects fill 
 up a gap in Bewick's works." The late Mr. W. Garret.
 
 112 The Bewick Collect or. 
 
 "Davison's 'Natural History' was done about 1S14; and valua- 
 ble as containing the Fishes, etc. It is a complete and clean 
 set, ver)' seldom to be met with." The same. 
 
 (298.) 275. New Specimen of Cast-Metal Orna- 
 ments and Wood Types, Sold by W. Davison, Aln- 
 wick. 
 
 4to. With impressions of iioo Cast Ornaments, and Wood 
 Blocks, many of the latter executed by Thomas Bewick for 
 the Alnwick publisher, and used by him in his numerous 
 works. The volume is of the greatest interest and utility, as 
 it embraces a series of cuts dispersed, as the present Collection 
 shows, among a considerable number of publications, and en- 
 ables the Collector to detect the hand of the Artist in many of 
 his less elaborated productions. 
 
 " W. Davison, of Alnwick, Publisher and Bookseller, printed a 
 number of books which were illustrated with woodcuts by the 
 celebrated Bewick and others. He stated to me that he had 
 paid Thomas Bewick upwards of five hundred pounds for the 
 various Woodcut Blocks, used in illustrating his publications. 
 With a view of disposing of his Blocks, he struck off a very 
 few copies of this Work, as specimens ; but, changing his mind 
 as to their disposal, he suppressed the Work, which is very 
 scarce, in consequence of his using up the copies as waste." 
 MS. note on the fly-leaf. 
 
 A more correct account, I believe, is that the volume was done 
 as an Advertisement for the sale of his stereotypes, of which 
 he had several taken from most of the blocks, and not of the 
 blocks themselves. Since his death many of his best blocks, 
 which he hardly ever permitted to be used, have come into my 
 possession (seethe Division " Wood-Blocks"), and the stereo- 
 type copies are widely diffused among the printers of the North 
 of England.

 Book.s en id Pamphlets. i 29 
 
 and between that and the year 1845 ** number of publications 
 appeared, printed on cream-hud paper, crown 8vo, many of them 
 illustrated with one or more woodcuts by Thomas Bewick, 
 some of which are among the happiest efforts of his genius. 
 The number of the cuts themselves is small, as most of them, 
 being executed for the various editors, and containing their 
 armorial bearings, were used repeatedly in the series. I have 
 the following articles, which, I believe, contain all the cuts 
 furnished by Thomas Bewick, and in most cases very frequently 
 employed.

 The publisher, on announcing this work, says, "This is a truly 
 curious and interesting book, containing many of the earliest 
 and most successful efforts of Mr. Bewick's great and powerful 
 genius, even including the identical block of ' The Old Hound,' 
 which obtained for him, in i775> the premium from the So-

 also contains an interesting memoir of Thomas and John Be- 
 wick, as well as a descriptive Catalogue of tlieir various pub- 
 lications, and forms ' Vol. I. of Bewick's Works.' " 
 The Illustrations are those which were formerly published in the 
 edition of the 'Select Fables,' printed in 1784, and other 
 works already noticed ; but much altered, and certainly not 
 improved, by Nesbit. The Memoir is short, and the descrip- 
 tive Catalogue contains only a few of the principal works. 
 The volume was printed on imperial paper at <^i. 11^. 6d., on 
 royal at £1. is., and on demy at 15^. Twelve copies of the 
 imperial size had India proofs of the cuts, and were sold at 
 ^5. ^s. A copy on demy paper is priced by Mr. E. Pearson,

 stroyed by fire at the burning of Mr. Adamson's library, 21 
 April, 1849. 
 
 Very fine copy, in olive morocco ; a gift to " Mr. John Bell, 
 From the Author." Mr. Bell has added a few notes in manu- 
 script, among which is the following in illustration of Bewick's 
 cut of the Medal of Camoens at the end of the Preface : — 
 
 " Mr. Adamson, who wished to make the Life of Camoens as 
 worthy of his favourite Author as possible, got the celebrated 
 Engraver on Wood, Thomas Bewick, to make a woodcut of 
 the Poet's Medal. In cutting the word Excvdi, Bew ick put

 the thick stroke of one of the letters x, of which there were 
 tliree in the medal, on the wrong side of the letter. Much 
 grieved at the mistake, IVIr. Adamson went to expostulate with 
 the artist, who, coolly looking at the impression, and without 
 being in the least put out of his way, replied 'Well, Mr. 
 Adamson, it's still an x '. '

 The present was the author s own interleaved copy, and is filled 
 with very interesting manuscript additions and corrections for 
 a new edition. There are also several printed and manuscript 
 insertions, criticisms of the work, etc. Among them is the 
 following autograph note, which commemorates the comple- 
 tion of the Sunderland printers' labours, and is a specimen of 
 the epistolary style which I humbly offer to my friends the 
 London typos as an appeal which no author could possibly 
 resist : — 
 
 " Monday evening, 
 
 " March 24th, 34. 
 
 "The Compositors, etc., of Mr. Marwood & Co.'s establishment 
 beg with the utmost deference and respect to intimate to Sir 
 Cuthbert Sharp that it is a usage, sanctioned by immemorial 
 prescription, to confer a gratuity on the poor typos on the 
 completion of any work. The ' Bishoprick Garland ' has just 
 been finished ; and as the object of the erudite author of that 
 work is to perpetuate the traditions, usages, and local metrical 
 fragments & remains of this county, ' which are fast falling 
 into oblivion,' the undersigned trusts that he will, by his ex- 
 ample on this occasion, evince a like anxiety to keep up the 
 admirable custom, rendered venerable by antiquity, of pre- 
 senting the compositors of this establishment with such a 
 gratuity as his own liberality may suggest.

 PROOFS, ETC. OF THE CUTS 
 
 THE 'HISTORY OF QUADRUPEDS.' 
 
 The appearance of the cuts in the books and pam- 
 phlets illustrated by Thomas Bewick is oftentimes by 
 no means favourable. Of this fact he was himself fully 
 aware, and in the case of several of his more important 
 works he occasionally issued, as the reader must have 
 already noticed, the engravings alone, unaccompanied 
 by letter-press. From the exclusive care devoted to 
 them, these impressions are in general very much 
 superior to those which appear with accompanying 
 type. 
 
 In the latter part of his life, a few very beautiful sets 
 of the Illustrations of the ' Quadrupeds ' and ' British 
 Birds ' were taken off on White India Paper. These, 
 which are now of great rarity, exhibit the cuts under 
 an aspect of excellence unimaginable by those who are 
 familiar only with the impressions which occur in the 
 published vohimcs.
 
 Cuts in the ^History of Quadrupeds.^ 179 
 
 There exist also a few precious examples superior 
 even to those which I have just described. Bewick 
 was in the habit of collecting the inside wrappers of tea- 
 chests, and of proving his blocks on the " Yellow China 
 Paper " thus obtained. Most lovely were the results 
 in this way produced. The bold foregrounds and de- 
 licate distances are represented in their exact grada- 
 tions, but with equal distinctness, whilst every minute 
 detail of hair, feather, or leaf engraved on the block 
 is exquisitely rendered in the impression. It is, in- 
 deed, impossible to conceive more beautiful speci- 
 mens of the engraver's art than those presented by these 
 matchless examples. Most of those in my posses- 
 sion were obtained during the last twenty years of his 
 life from Mr. W. Garret, whose opportunities of ob- 
 taining these and similar rarities were such as were 
 enjoyed by no other individual, and whose excellent 
 use of which facilities these pages most abundantly 
 testify. 
 
 The present Division will be found to contain se- 
 veral complete sets of the engravings of the ' Quad- 
 rupeds ' on white India paper, and a goodly number 
 of impressions on yellow China paper, together with 
 some very early and curious examples on drawing- 
 paper, proof pages from various editions of the work, 
 etc. etc.

 (531.) I. I. Figures and Vignettes in the 'History 
 of Quadrupeds.' 
 
 A complete series of 291 l-nUiniit proofs on ivhile India paper, 
 mounted, one on a page, in an imp. 8\'o volume of crayon 
 paper, half-bound in morocco. 
 
 Obtained, many years ago, from Miss Jane Bewick, the artist's 
 daughter, who has written on the original paper wrapper, 
 mounted on the first page, — " i set of Quadrupeds and Vi- 
 gnettes, examined by J. B. and found perfect in numbers. 
 Feb. 1829. Price <56'3. 3^." 
 
 A very few of these exquisite proofs were taken, which have since 
 been sold for large sums. A set, erroneously thought by its 
 owner to be unicjue, was lately offered to me for twenty gui- 
 neas. 
 
 (532.) I. 2. Figures and Vignettes in the ' History 
 of Quadrupeds.' 
 
 Another complete series. Brillknit proofs on white India paper, 
 
 mounted, several on a page, in an imp. 4to volume of crayon 
 
 paper, half-bound in russia. 
 Obtained at the same time from Miss Jane Bewick, whose note, 
 
 " Perfect Sett. 2. A.," appears on the wrapper, mounted on 
 
 the first page of the volume. 
 
 (533.) I. 3. Vignettes in the 'History of Quadru- 
 peds.' 
 
 Another complete series of proof s on ivhite India paper, mounted 
 on a small 4to volume of crayon paper, half-bound in morocco. 
 
 (534.) 2. I. A series of ninety-nine engravings of 
 the Quadrupeds, as in the first edition, 1790, taken off 
 as proofs on thick paper. 
 
 On this most rare series, Mr. Garret, from w lioni it was obtained, 
 
 has supplied the following note : — 
 " When Bewick first commenced his Quadrupeds, he had deter-
 
 Cuts in the ^History of Quadrupeds' i8i 
 
 mined to take off a iew impressions for colouring, on a 
 strong laid paper, not exceeding ten or twelve impressions 
 of each cut ; but the labour and expense deterred him from 
 doing all the animals in this manner. They were never 
 sold ; and what were done, or at least a few of them, were 
 coloured by the apprentices in his shop for the use of his own 
 
 children. once showed me two of the volumes, each 
 
 containing about twenty cuts, but they were all in tatters from 
 constant use. I tried to get them from her by offering a hand- 
 some price, but she said nothing would induce her to part with 
 them. The present is a complete set of these cuts, printed on 
 thick laid paper, as far as they were done. The set I believe 
 to be unique, and of the greatest value, and in fine condition, 
 either for illustrating a first edition of the large paper or mount- 
 ing in a separate volume. They are just as they came into my 
 possession, without the abstraction of a single leaf. The rarity, 
 and particular circumstance that induced Tommy Bewick to take 
 off a few impressions on thick and sized paper for colouring, 
 for the use of his own children and youngsters of his friends, 
 make them of very great value to the Bewick Collector. . . . 
 All the cuts were not taken off in this manner, and of these 
 not more than twelve copies or so were printed." 
 The series comprises the following : — 
 
 1. The Racehorse, p. 4, ed. 10. The Bison, p. 30.

 " You must indeed treasure this fine clean set of the Quadrupeds, 
 of the existence of which, when I sent you the former, I had 
 not the least suspicion."' Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 There are two imperfect sets in the British Museum, obtained for 
 Sir Joseph Banks by Mr. Bulmer, who says in a note inserted 
 in the volume, " Many of the impressions are very indifferently 
 printed and much soiled, but they are the best Mr. Bewick, 
 after much search, has been able to obtain." 
 
 A series of only seven cuts has been lately sold for a guinea.

 single cut. The rest are printed sometimes two, sometimes 
 three, and in five instances four on a page. They were ob- 
 tained, some short time before his death, from the late Mr, 
 John Bell, of Gateshead, who stated, in a letter of the 20th 
 November, 1855, that he had possessed the volume which 
 contains them for some years previous to 1809, and considered 
 them and the other contents of the same tome the most pre- 
 cious treasures of his fine collection. 
 
 I have it on the authority of the same gentleman, tliat it is to 
 this identical series that the following note of Mr. G, C. Atkin-

 PROOFS, ETC. OF THE FIGURES AND 
 VIGNETTES 
 
 IN 
 
 THE 'HISTORY OF BRITISH BIRDS.' 
 
 The remarks prefixed to the former Division are 
 equally applicable to the present, which will be found 
 to contain a large number of precious examples in 
 each of the states there described. The series com- 
 mences with some most interesting volumes which ap- 
 pear to be unique, after which follow several complete 
 sets of the cuts on white India paper, succeeded by a 
 long list of separate engravings in various states, proof 
 pages, etc. etc. Most of the impressions on yellow China 
 paper were obtained at various times from that indefa- 
 tigable collector, the late Mr. W. Garret, some from 
 the late Mr. J. Sykes, and a considerable number were 
 removed from the pages of the note-book of a short- 
 hand writer employed in Mr. Walker's office at New- 
 castle, where most of the editions of the ' Birds ' were
 
 Cuts ill the ^History of Briti.sli Birds' 195 
 
 printed, wherein tlie owner seems to have inserted them 
 as opportunity served. 
 
 The order in which the articles are placed is that of 
 the edition of 1826, the last which was published in 
 Bewick's lifetime. 
 
 (663.) I. I. A Series of Proofs of the Land and 
 Water Birds, and the illustrative Vignettes. 
 
 Bound in two volumes. Edges uncut. 
 
 These two and the seven following volumes are among the earliest 
 examples of what Bewick did again and again in subsequent 
 years — the printing of his cuts apart from the letterpress. Of 
 the nine volumes, the first and second were Bewick's own ; the 
 third is a duplicate of the second, and was given by Bewick to 
 his partner, Mr. Beilby 3 the fourth and fifth are duplicates of 
 the first and second, and were the property of Mr. John Hall 
 Affleck, the foreman in Mr. Edward Walker's printing-office ; 
 the sixth and seventh are also duplicates of the second, and 
 the eighth and ninth of the first and second. In wonderful 
 beauty and matchless brilliancy these exquisite impressions are 
 superior to those on white India paper, and are equalled by 
 those alone, and in some instances hardly even by them, on 
 yellow China paper. The volumes were, in fact, the result of 
 a number of favourable adjuncts, and do not admit of compa- 
 rison with any subsecjuent attempts. They are of 8vo size, 
 without titles or paging, were never published or intended for 
 sale, nor are any other copies known to exist. 
 
 Each series is furnished with a manuscript note on the flyleaf, 
 wliich will explain the circumstances under which they were 
 produced. 
 
 "This was Thomas Bewick's own set of the Proofs of the British

 Birds. They were taken otF in the best manner, on the best 
 paper, and best ink. The impressions are finer, brighter, and 
 darker than any that are to be found in the 'History of the British 
 Birds,' first edition or any subsequent one. Vol. i was printed 
 at Solomon Hodgson's office, by John Simpson ; and Vol. 2 at 
 the office of Edward Walker, by George Barlow, who was 
 brought from London for the purpose of printing Bewick's 
 works. Barlow never could equal Simpson in printing wood- 
 cuts. William Garret, Newcastle." MS. note on the flyleaf 
 of Vol. I. 
 
 To the same two volumes Mr. Garret thus further referred in a 
 letter to myself in 1 845 : — 
 
 " As to the Proofs of the Birds, they are in your possession now, 
 and if wise on this matter, and with orood forethousrht, never 
 trust them out of your sight again. They are the genuine set 
 of my old friend Bewick. As to the marks, occurring in 
 many, of the letterpress without ink, it can be easily explained. 
 It is very difficult to prove woodcuts well without placing 
 them in a form with letterpress, or hearers, as a printer calls it. 
 I would rather have the sign of the letters round the impression, 
 for it gives a warranty that the block was properly made up in 
 the form for printing. There were no title-pages for the proofs 
 printed, and I put the two titles in myself to make the volume 
 more complete. Take my advice and treasure them as one of 
 your gems of tlie greatest value and beauty. . . . Compare the 
 impressions with your large paper of the first edition, and then 
 you will see the ditierence. Now this seems almost like saying 
 something in disparagement of the large-paper first edition, 
 which I am most unwilling to do, as the book is one of my 
 greatest favourites. The proofs were printed for Bewick's 
 self, and by his first and favourite pressman, my old friend Jack 
 Simpson, who, as Bewick often said, was the only one who 
 could take off impressions of his blocks to his satisfaction. 
 Many of the gems which you have had of me were obtained 
 from Simpson, whom I have stood alongside of many an hour 
 when he was at work. As to the early state of the impres-
 
 Cuts in the ^History of British Birds.'' 197 
 
 sions there can be no doubt. . . . The more I think of these 
 proofs the higher I prize them. There is no edition of the 
 Birds printed with the same dark and briUiant ink that these 
 proofs are printed with, and that will be seen with half an 
 eye by comparing them with any. They were taken off for 
 Bewick's self and never intended for sale. The paper is also a 
 better kind, and titter for taking off line and delicate impres- 
 sions. And even here Bewick did not stop, for the ink was 
 purchased for the purpose of tlie blackest and best description. 
 The Land Birds were printed at the office of Solomon Hodg- 
 son, by my old friend John Simpson, Bewick's favourite press- 
 man j the Water Birds at the office of Edward Walker, by 
 George Barlow, who was brought down from London to print 
 Bewick's works, and outshine Simpson, which he never could 
 or did, but was much beholden to Simpson for his knowledge 
 of overlaying the tympan, so as to reach the lowered parts of 
 the blocks, etc. etc." 
 
 (664.) 2. Proofs of the Water Birds, with the Vi- 
 gnettes. 
 
 Bound in one volume. Edges uncut. 
 
 "This volume of the Proofs of Bewick s Water Birds was pre- 
 sented by Thomas Bewick to Ralph Beilby, his old master and 
 partner in business. The cuts of this volume were printed at 
 the office of Edward Walker, by George Barlow, who was 
 brought down from London to print Bewick's works. Wil- 
 liam Garret, Newcastle." MS. note on the flyleaf. 
 
 (665.) 3. Proofs of Land and Water Birds, with 
 the Vignettes. 
 
 Mounted in two imp. 8vo volumes of drab crayon paper. 
 
 "This is one of the best of the few copies taken off by Thomas 
 Bewick of the Land and Water Birds, as an experiment, and 
 printed on a soft and peculiar paper, in order to secure brilliant 
 impressions. The ink was procured from London, of the very

 best description, and George Barlow was brought down from 
 thence to print the Water Birds and Bewick's other works, in 
 a superior manner to old John Simpson, the pressman to Mr. 
 Solomon Hodgson. In this, however, he failed, for Simpson's 
 work is admitted up to the present day to be superior to Bar- 
 low's. This set belonged to John Hall Affleck, the foreman 
 in Mr. Edward Walker's printing-office. William Garret, 
 Newcastle." MS. note on the tlyleaf. 
 
 " I have got a sight at last of the Birds that 1 thought had been 
 Mr. Beilby's Land Birds, and which would have completed 
 your second set ; but they turn out to be both the Land and 
 Water Birds, in single leaves and not bound up, and have never 
 been bound, but remain in a sheet of paper just as printed. 
 They seem to have been hardly ever opened since they were 
 taken off. They are in every respect the same as your whole 
 set of the proofs, on the same paper, and equally brilliant as 
 to impressions. The owner seems to have the highest opinion 
 of their value, and I durst not make an offer.' 
 
 " You will receive the proofs with this. They seem to me to be 
 on the same kind of paper as your former set, but its colour 
 appears, to my recollection, to be a little fairer, which may 
 arise from their having been tied up for forty years. The im- 
 pressions are of the same dark and brilliant lustre as those in 
 your set. You seem to be rather surprised at the appearance 
 of this set, and I have no doubt that Thomas Bewick would 
 have been more so, had he been alive to see it. The fact is, 
 it was taken olf for John Hall Affleck, the foreman in Edward 
 Walker's printing-office, unknown, I believe, either to Bewick 
 or Walker, which is a common practice in most printing-offices, 
 more especially if the book is good and wortli preserving. 
 J. H. Affleck died a few years ago, after serving Edward Wal- 
 ker and his successors for fifty years. He was a person of con- 
 siderable taste ill the art of printing, and from time to time 
 gave me many a gem, as an old friend and early companion. 
 At his death I bought his books and a portfolio containing 
 prints and woodcuts. Affleck's set of the proofs was given
 
 Cuts in the '■History of British Birds.'' 199 
 
 away by him, in his Hfetime, to a gentleman to whom he con- 
 sidered himself under great obligations, and from whom I had 
 it. He had the management of the getting up of Bewick's 
 books in Walker's office, which secured for him Bewick's good 
 graces. As a compliment, the latter engraved for him a book- 
 plate and gave it to him. I send you an impression of it. [See 
 the Division "Book-plates."] If mounted one on a page of 
 drab paper, these proofs will form a most magnificent set,-^ 
 indeed, perfectly matchless and unique." Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 (66G.) 4. Proofs of Water Birds, with the Vignettes. 
 
 Bound in one volume. Edges uncut. 
 
 " This copy of Bewick's Water Birds is one of the few that Tho- 
 mas Bewick had printed off by George Barlow, at Edward 
 Walker's, to match the few copies of the Land Birds that were 
 printed off by John Simpson, at Solomon Hodgson's. The 
 impressions of the blocks are very bright, the ink of the best 
 manufacture, and the paper very soft and with a delicate sur- 
 face. I'he copies that were thus taken off by Simpson and 
 Barlow, so soon after the cuts were engrav^ed, are perfect gems, 
 and may be considered the best ever printed from the blocks, 
 not even excepting the impressions taken off in later years on 
 India paper. William Garret, Newcastle." MS. note on the 
 flyleaf 
 
 "The beauty of the proofs of the Water Birds will speak for 
 itself. Only look at the Bittern in the volume ! Life itself, 
 and most brilliant." Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 (667.) 5. Proofs of the Water Birds, with the Vi- 
 gnettes. 
 
 Bound in one volume. Edges uncut. 
 
 " This volume of Bewick's Water Birds is one of the few copies 
 that Thomas Bewick got printed off for iiimself and friends. 
 The number printed was very few, as it was merely an experi- 
 ment. He procured a sample of very fine soft demy, which 
 was used, and never since have such beautiful impressions been

 taken from the blocks. The ink, also, that was used was the 
 best and bhickest that could be procured at the time ; and I 
 have some reason to believe that the ink was the same as his 
 friend William Bulmer used in London for Goldsmith and Par- 
 nell's Poems, and Somervile's Chase. This copy was found in 
 die book-room of the Bewicks some years ago and sold to me. 
 William Garret, Newcastle on Tyne." MS. note on the flyleaf. 
 
 (668.) 6. Proofs of the Land and Water Birds, with 
 the Vignettes. 
 
 Bound, with other cuts, in one volume, vellum, richly gilt, tooled, 
 and painted. 
 
 This set belonged to the late Mr. John Bell, of Gateshead, from 
 whom I obtained it. It was a present from Bewick to his 
 father, with whom he was on terms of special intimacy, and 
 has been bound up in the volume already referred to as con- 
 taining some of tlie most valued treasures of Mr. Bells col- 
 lection. An attestation of the early date at which the impres- 
 sions were taken is incidentally furnished by the volume itself, 
 which bears on the flyleaf, in the handwriting of its then 
 owner, "Jno. Bell : Novo Castro. 1809." 
 
 (669.) 2. Figures and Vignettes of the Land Birds. 
 
 A complete series of 283 most beautiful proofs on white India 
 paper, mounted, one on a page, in an imp. Svo crayon paper

 Obtained, many years ago, from Miss Jane Bewick, the artist's 
 daughter, accompanied by the note in her handwriting, " i Sett 
 Birds & Vignettes. India paper. Land Birds." 
 
 (670.) 3. Figures and Vignettes of the Water Birds.

 Since the time that these exquisite proofs were taken, a very few 
 copies of which were done, they have, in common with all 
 the rarer works of the artist, increased largely in value. I have 
 known them sell for £1^. The only copy that I remember 
 to have been sold by public auction was that of Mr. J. H. Phil-

 by the curious, to see how very dexterously he managed to 
 alter the various blocks for the better. No case more strongly 
 proves this than the cut of the Magpie — striking out the rotten 
 sticks, and making all the foreground light, delicate, and beau- 
 tiful herbage. It is to be remembered that the first state of 
 the block shows the state of Bewick's mind and views at the 
 time, and also his capabilities ; and how quickly and splendidly 
 he progressed in the art in his bold and peculiar style." Mr. 
 W. Garret. 
 " As a background to the cut of the Magpie," says Mr. Atkinson, 
 " he has introduced the carcase of an old horse ; and to this a tale 
 is attached. A neighbour wanted a horse to go to Newburn 
 with, and borrowed an old favourite of Bewick's father, under 
 strict promise of good usage. He neglected the conditions and 
 over-worked the horse, which died soon after, and my kind- 
 hearted old friend used to step aside in going to school, to see 
 and shed a tear over the old horse." Atkinson's Sketch of T. 
 Bewick, p. 24.

 " His power of giving each characteristic of animals, even at a 
 distance, was extraordinary. It is exemphfied in his distant 
 flights of birds, which can always be recognized ; and when he 
 gives to them any cause of excitement, they are highly enter- 
 taining. As an illustration of this, I would call the attention 
 of the reader to a very beautiful vignette at p. 109, vol. i. [p. ' 
 74, ed. 1797], of two cows drinking", above which we have 
 most intelligibly depicted the futile attempts of a hawk to 
 make his escape from the buffetings of two tyrannical crows ; 
 the magpies, like schoolboys, only being there to see the fun."

 " Bewick drew this bird from a living specimen at Elswick Hall, 
 near Newcastle. Accompanied by his daughter Jane, then a 
 child, he made the sketch whilst out walking, between five and 
 six o'clock on a fine summer morning. The gate of the yard 
 being fast, he had to climb over the wall to obtain an entrance, 
 and has represented this incident in the background to the cut. 
 Though very minute, the resemblance to himself of the figure 
 on the wall is quite perfect." Mr. R. Robinson.

 " Nothing can surpass the wintry desolate appearance of the hills 
 in the vignette, where a poor man, in a fit of false economy, 
 is fording the river with his cow to save the toll : he appears 
 sensible of the indiscretion of his proceeding, and would fain 
 withdraw her and himself, particularly as his hat seems averse 
 to the measure, and the shouts of some men on the other side, 
 together with the coldly encroaching element, suggest to him 
 the probability of deeper water in advance. The cow, poor 
 thing, as Bewick would say, seems to be gifted with aU the 
 pleasing perseverance of her sex, and determines to go on, 
 which is the cause of tlie variety of opinion so apparent in the 
 vignette." Atkinson's Sketch of T. Bewick, pp. 25, 26.

 Given to me many years since by Miss Bewick. 
 
 This cut first appears on the title of the edition of the Quadru- 
 peds printed without letterpress, 4to, Newcastle, 1824. In 
 the two instances of its use, however, it presents a very con-
 
 Cuts in the ^History of British Birds' 237 
 
 spicuous difference, the rain being represented Hack in the 
 *'' Quadrupeds," and white in the "Birds." 
 
 The explanation of this circumstance is full of significance for 
 the admirer of Bewick and his art, and I think myself fortu- 
 nate in being enabled, by the kindness of a gentleman of New- 
 castle, who had it from one of the principal actors, to furnish 
 the reader with a detailed account of this singularly interesting 
 occurrence. I hardly need add that it contains the key to the 
 meaning of the last hopes and labours of the artist's life. 
 
 " The way in which the rain was represented black was by the 
 employment of two blocks, one above the other. In the last 
 edition of the ' Birds ' the rain is white, being printed from 
 one block only." 
 
 "Mr. Walker," continues my informant, " in whose office tlie 
 printing was done, was staying at Croft at the time. The first 
 impressions or printing were taken ofi^'on a Saturday afternoon, 
 and as the modus operandi was intended to be kept a profound 
 secret, Bewick agreed with his pressman, Thomas Kay, that 
 the second printing should take place on the following morn- 
 ing. On Sunday morning they went together to Mr. Walker's 
 house, and, after much persuasion, succeeded in obtaining the 
 key from the servant girl. It being Sunday, they entered 
 through the rear of the premises in the Manors. Two blocks 
 were cut for the second printing. The first of them did not 
 answer the purpose intended, the second was a complete suc- 
 cess. Three points were used by Kay to ensure accuracy, that 
 the second printing might fall immediately over the first. 
 When these points were noticed by^the workmen on the follow- 
 ing morning they were much puzzled, and laughed at Kay for 
 using points in printing such a simple job as a title. Bewick 
 and his pressman were equally delighted with the success of 
 the experiment, the former exclaiming, ' Would that I had been 
 but twenty years younger ! ' 
 
 "On the work being finished, every scrap of paper on the floor 
 used in proving the cut was destroyed by Bewick. The titles 
 were all packed up and taken by Kay to Bewick's shop. 
 
 " When Mr. Walker returned home, he soon learned the un- 
 authorized use that had been made of his office in his absence, 
 and great was his displeasure at such a liberty. He was still 
 further irritated both against Bewick and his own workman, 
 for refusing to tell him the nature of the job or even to show

 him one of the titles. He could not understand how one block 
 could be printed above another. Kay said that Bewick called it 
 ' cross-hatching,' and that was all that he knew about it. This 
 Sunday job, however, together with Kay's refusal to inform his 
 employer how he manufactured a composition which he had in- 
 vented for making printers' balls, at last cost him his situation."

 PROOFS, ETC. OF THE CUTS 
 
 '^soFs fables; 
 
 In the year 1812, when he was upwards of sixty years 
 old, Bewick, as he informs us in his autobiography, 
 was afflicted with a long and dangerous illness. During 
 its continuance he often and greatly regretted that he 
 had not illustrated a book similar to Croxall's '^Esop's 
 Fables,' a volume of which he was extremely fond, and 
 to the influence of which he attributed very much of 
 the wisdom and good conduct of the rising genera- 
 tion. When so far recovered as to be able to sit at his 
 window at home, he set to work to supply the defi- 
 ciency, and began to draw designs upon the wood of 
 the Fables and Vignettes, in the engraving of which 
 he was assisted by his son and two of his pupils — Wil- 
 liam Harvey and William Temple. After more diffi- 
 culties than he had experienced with either the " Qua- 
 drupeds " or the " Birds," attributable, no doubt, to 
 his failing strength, the work was finished at press on
 
 262 The Bewick Cullector. 
 
 the ist of October, 18 18. It was not so well printed, 
 he adds, as he expected and wished. 
 
 The contrast between the cuts as they appear in the 
 book and the following proofs is hardly to be ima- 
 gined. In many cases, while the former are very in- 
 different, the latter are most beautiful specimens of 
 delicacy and artistic excellence.

 " My time now became greatly taken up with designing and 
 cutting a set of wood blocks for tlie ' Story-teller,' ' Gay's Fa- 
 bles,' and ' Select Fables,' together with cuts of a similar kind, 
 for printers. Some of the Fable cuts were thought so well of 
 by my master, that he, in my name, sent impressions of a few 
 of them to be laid before the Society for the Encouragement 
 of Arts, etc., and I obtained a premium. This I received 
 shortly after I was out of my apprenticeship, and it was left to 
 my choice whether I would have it in a gold medal or money 
 — seven guineas. I preferred the latter ; and I never in my 
 life felt greater pleasure than in presenting it to my motlier. 
 On this occasion, amongst the several congratulations of kind 
 neiglibours, those of Mr. Gregson, my old master, stood pre- 
 eminent. He flew from Ovingham, where the news first 
 arrived, over to Eltringham, to congratulate my father and 
 mother ; and the feelings and overflowings of his heart can 
 be better imagined than described." (Bewick's 'Memoir,'

 With reference to a portion of my proofs from this rare book, 
 Mr. W. Garret wrote as follows : — 
 
 " A few weeks ago [February, 1849] ""^ ^^ ^^i"" old-book men 
 in the town purchased a parcel of books, in which there was a 
 small bundle of some book in sheets. He came to me with 
 the bundle, as he saw that on the title there was the name of 
 Bewick, which would induce me to buy, or, if not, to advise 
 him as to their value. At the first interview we did not agree 
 about price, but when I went to him a little time after, I found 
 he had sent them to the binder to get done up. Being rather 
 impatient to get my hands over them, or at least a few of them, 
 I got the book-man's order upon the binder to deliver to me 
 six copies of the ' Sportsman's Friend,' which I would select 
 from the lot. This I did, and you may warrant I was most 
 careful in the selection and took the best. In addition to this, 
 I purchased, before any one had the opportunity of looking at 
 them, all the waste and the spare cuts, which the binder did 
 not understand, and which had not been turned over since they 
 came out of the printer's hands in 1801. Now what anybody 
 else got were actually my refuse. The copj/ I sent you [No. 
 (163.) of this Catalogue] ivas one of the six I selected at the 
 binder s, and a/so the frst and very lest of the number. With 
 regard to the proof cuts, all others may be known by having 
 the binder's three stab-holes through them, as they were all so 
 done that others obtained. Parties may attempt to impose and 
 cut the holes off, but then the cuts will be reduced. The 
 greatest interest, therefore, attaches to the untouched proofs, 
 which are in the finest possible condition." Mr. W. Garret.

 PROSPECTUSES, PROOFS OF THE CUTS, 
 
 ETC., 
 
 FOR THE INTENDED 
 
 HISTORY OF BRITISH FISHES.' 
 
 One of the subjects which mainly engaged the at- 
 tention of Bewick in the later years of his life was a 
 History of British Fishes. He went so far as to issue 
 Prospectuses in 1824, announcing that the work would 
 be put to press in 1826. Very little, however, had 
 been done towards the fulfilment of the promise. "In 
 the History of Fishes," says Mr. Atkinson, " he had 
 only advanced as far as fourteen or fifteen illustrative 
 cuts at his death." A greater progress had been made 
 in the vignettes. " A completely new set of appro- 
 priate tail-pieces," says the same writer, " were almost 
 finished for the embellishment of this undertaking." 
 (Atkinson's Sketch of Bewick, p. 2.) Substantially 
 the same account is given by Dr. Dibdin, as received 
 by himself from Miss Bewick : — Her father left be- 
 hind him " fourteen entire fishes, u])()n wood : seventy
 
 Cuts for the ^History of British Fishes' 293 
 
 vignettes, chiefly of fishing scenes : about forty draw- 
 ings of fish — with a few descriptions and memoranda : 
 thirty-five sketches of vignettes : with a few slighter." 
 (Northern Tour, vol. i. p. 336, note.) 
 
 Mr. Dovaston tells us that when he was in North- 
 umberland, after Bewick's death, they showed him 
 " thirty fishes he had cut by way of trial," " together 
 with more than a hundred tail-pieces." (' Magazine of 
 Natural History,' vol. iii. p. 103.) 
 
 Neither of the two earlier statements, however, with 
 which alone we need concern ourselves, — for the third, 
 like the whole essay of which it forms a part, is an im- 
 pudent exaggeration, — is, judging from the account 
 in Bewick's ' Memoir,' strictly and absolutely correct. 
 The " finished specimens " of Fishes, given for the first 
 time in the appendix to that volume, published by his 
 daughter in 1862 (pp. 289-323), are sixteen in num- 
 ber. Together with these are thirty-one of the " ap- 
 propriate vignettes," which, with "about twenty" others 
 of the series, previously used in the last edition of the 
 ' British Birds,' 1 847, fifty-one in all, would appear to 
 be the exact number completed for the intended work 
 at the time of the artist's decease. 
 
 My collection contains an unique series, with many 
 duplicates, of the whole of the rare Prospectuses already 
 mentioned, a number of brilliant proofs of Fishes and 
 Vignettes, obtained from Miss Bewick and others many 
 years before the publication of the ' Memoir,' includ- 
 ing one which down to the present time does not ap- 
 pear to have been used in any published work, together
 
 294 T^fi^ Bewick Collector. 
 
 with a complete set of excellent impressions cut from one 
 of the earliest published copies of the ' Memoir ' itself. 
 The reader should be warned against certain for- 
 geries of the Prospectuses, prepared, long since Bewick's 
 death, to meet the frequent inquiries of collectors. 
 On those, however, who have seen any of the originals, 
 the deception cannot be successfully practised. 
 
 (1826.) I. I. Prospectus of the Fishes. " A His- 
 tory of British Fishes. The Figures engraved on 
 Wood, By T. Bewick [& Son added in MS.]. This 
 Work is intended to be put to Press in 1826, And to 
 be Printed on Imperial, Royal, and Demy Papers, To 
 match the Histories of Quadrupeds, and British Birds, 
 and the Fables of ^sop. Subscriptions Received by 
 all Booksellers, and by T. Bewick and Son, Newcastle." 
 Illustrated with the cut of the Lump Sucker, and 
 vignette of Herons Fishing. 
 
 Pasted on a large piece of paper, with the names of subscribers in 
 MS. 
 
 Obtained from the late Mr. W. Garret, who has supplied the fol- 
 lowing note : — 
 
 " In the latter part of the year 1824, Bewick issued his Prospectus 
 for the History of British Fishes, in which he stated that the 
 work would be put to press in 18265 but at that time his 
 health began to decline, and his friends despaired of his living 
 to finish the intended work. Some parties thought proper to 
 say that he was not competent to undertake such a publication, 
 as the materials were so very scanty that he had gathered toge- 
 ther, and that if he devoted eight or ten years to the labour, it 
 would be barely sufficient to complete so important a work. 
 I at this time had the management of Mr. Charnley's business, 
 and Bewick made us his sole publishers in the country, but at
 
 Cuts for the '•History of British Fishes' 295 
 
 the same time engaging to supply his personal friends who 
 might want his works. This Prospectus of the Fishes was hung 
 up in our shop for about two years, and was the only one so 
 exhibited. When Bewick died, I took it down and removed 
 it from the board on which it was pasted, and have kept it ever 
 since as an unique and most interesting record of Bewick's 
 'History of British Fishes.' The fewness of the names affixed 
 to the Prospectus arose from the great uncertainty of the work 
 ever being published. His son Robert and, I believe, his 
 daughter Jane were employed on the drawings at the time of 
 his death." 
 The names attached to this curious relic are fifty in number, 
 and are principally in the handwriting of Mr. Garret and Mr. 
 Charnley. Among them are the following, in the order of 
 their entry : — John Trotter Brockett, Esq., Dr. Headlam, John 
 Bacon, Esq., Mr. Hewison, Robert Pearson, Esq., John Adam-

 CUTS DONE FOR PRIVATE GENTLEMEN, 
 
 BOOK-PLATES AND OTHER PURPOSES. 
 
 We have hitherto noticed the skill of Thomas Bewick 
 when employed in the adornment of works designed 
 for the instruction and gratification of the public at 
 large. Another department of his labours is now to be 
 examined. It was only natural that advantage should 
 be taken of his exquisite powers by the professional 
 and commercial men of his great town and neigh- 
 bourhood — by the former for book-plates, memorial 
 cuts, and similar objects ; by the latter for notices of 
 exhibitions, bill-heads, shop-cards, bar-bills, coal cer- 
 tificates, etc. ; and by both for various societies and 
 companies, the members of which they jointly com- 
 posed. The following pages will show that they did 
 so to an extent of which few. even among collectors 
 and others well acquainted with many of his book illus- 
 trations, were previously aware. 
 
 In this and a number of the subsequent Divisions I
 
 304 The Bewick Collector. 
 
 have been specially benefited by the two great New- 
 castle collectors, the late Mr. W. Garret and Mr. John 
 Bell. From the former I was for many years in the 
 habit of obtaining all that I did not at the various times 
 possess ; while the entire collections of the latter, — of 
 which Dr. Dibdin speaks in such enthusiastic terms as 
 containing everything that can be brought together 
 " attending the congregation and legislation of human 
 beings," " of notoriety sufficient to furnish a printed 
 record" (Northern Tour, vol. i. p. 337), — in these de- 
 partments, embracing some thousands of book-plates, 
 invoice-heads, inn bills, most of them still retaining 
 the items of expenditure, business cards, coal certifi- 
 cates, etc. etc., executed by the majority of the engra- 
 vers in the north of England, have since his decease 
 become my property. The accumulation of these col- 
 lections occupied his life, and simply to say that they 
 were unsurpassed would be to insinuate that other ga- 
 therings approached or competed with them, whereas 
 they stood from all else apart and confessedly alone. 
 
 The present Division embraces the Cuts engraved for 
 private gentlemen, both with and without armorial 
 bearings, for the embellishment of their Book-plates, 
 and other special purposes, and a very wonderful assem- 
 blage they will be found to be. Among them are some 
 curious variations, and many proofs on yellow China 
 paper, vellum, satin, etc. The least uncommon of the 
 series are those belonging to several members of the 
 Typographical Society of Newcastle, who were accus- 
 tomed to prefix their cuts to the works which they
 
 Book-Plales. 
 
 305 
 
 respectively edited, and of which accordingly numerous 
 impressions were taken. Of many of the others, en- 
 tirely confined to private hands, very seldom used, and 
 then in small numbers, I am not aware of the very 
 existence of impressions outside my own collection. 
 
 It will be seen that some of them are engraved on 
 copper, — which, when such is the case, are always stated 
 so to be, — and are then properly denominated Book- 
 Plates. The fact that those on wood are less correctly so 
 called does not require more than this passing remark.

 (1377.) and (1378.). The cut will be found on inspection to 
 bear evidence of the former presence and subsequent removal 
 of the name. 
 
 " My old friend die Rev. Henry Cotes edited the second volume 
 of the Birds, and Bewick, in compliment to him, cut for him 
 a book-plate wiLli his name upon it and the Parson fishing. 
 He sent him a few impressions, but, on some trifling misun- 
 derstanding, cut out the name of poor ' Q in the corner,' 
 and made it a tail-piece for his Birds. Of these impressions, at

 (2150.) I. 3. Another. Cutting from a policy. 
 From Mr. Sykes's Collection. 
 
 " The woodcut by Bewick for the Newcastle Fire Office was first 
 used by that Company on the 24th June, 18 17, at the head of 
 their sheet intitled ' Proposals from the Newcastle upon Tyne 
 Fire Office,' which sheet they used to wrap up or enclose the 
 ' Policy of Insurance ' when it was sent to the insured. It was 
 not used at the head of the policies until ten years afterwards. 
 I have policies of all dates with copf)erp/ates of Neptune as a 
 head-piece down to that time. These wrappmg-papers had 
 afterwards the date of the establishment put under the wood- 
 cut — ' Established 1783.' It was after the cutting of the above 
 that Mr. William Lloyd, the Fire Office Secretary, and Bewick 
 became so tliick, that Lloyd subscribed for his * Birds,' and re- 
 turned the volume as an improper book, where it shows nature 
 rather too plainly." Mr. John Bell. 
 
 This fine cut was disused on the union of the Office with the 
 North British and Mercantile Insurance Company, and was then 
 given to a friend of mine in Newcastle, from whom it passed into 
 my possession. I am happy to present the collector with an 
 impression from the original block.

 RACING CUTS. 
 
 For many years the Lists of Running Horses at the 
 Newcastle and other Northern Races were embelHshed 
 with spirited engravings by Thomas Bewick. Whilst 
 so similar in general as to admit of little distinctive 
 description, they have each individual merit of the 
 highest order. Considering the literally ephemeral 
 nature of these productions, it is a matter of no little 
 satisfaction that so long a list of different cuts can still 
 be presented for the collector's study. 
 
 " The racing cuts which you have," wrote Mr. W. 
 Garret, referring to about half of the collection in its 
 present state, " form by far the finest and largest col- 
 lection ever brought together. The old rude cut ap- 
 pears, by the figures of the horses, to be before Bewick's 
 time, or it may be his first production in this line; 
 but the others are nearly all his. Some of them bear 
 his name, but he afterwards became too great a man 
 to acknowledge such trifles. He ceased putting his 
 name to such things when his fame was established." 
 
 T possess several of the original blocks also, of which.

 SHOP CARDS. 
 
 The Tradesmen's Cuts of Thomas Bewick form a most 
 curious and interesting assemblage. As genius imparts 
 a portion of its grace to everything that it touches, it 
 cannot be a matter of much surprise that many a 
 common shop-card and insignificant bill-head has been 
 elevated by his means to the rank of a precious work 
 of exquisite art. 
 
 The majority are engraved on copper, as stated in 
 the description of each. Many of these have great 
 merit, but are not, to my mind, so beautiful as several 
 of those on wood. In the mstance of some of the latter 
 class, I am happy to enable the reader to judge for 
 himself of their right to the place and estimation which 
 I claim for them. 
 
 I do not vouch for the perfect accuracy of the attri- 
 bution of every article in the five following Divisions 
 to the hand of Bewick. Many, it will be observed, 
 are signed by him, and more bear the impress of his 
 marvellous powers, while some are conjectured to be 
 his from their general resemblance to his work and 
 from the period at which they were produced.

 The Bewick Collnior 
 
 The enormous collections of the late Mr. John Bell 
 have furnished more than half of the entire number^ 
 and it is doubtless to the wise care and forethought of 
 that gentleman that of a very large proportion a single 
 impression is now extant. 
 
 (2323.) I. I. "J. Anderson, Junf Carver & Gilder,

 along the top of the cut. Signed " T. Bewick." From 
 Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 (2327.) 2. 2. Another impression. From Mr. John 
 Bell. 
 
 This was one of Thomas Bewick's earhest productions in this 
 hne, having been done about the year 1779 or 1780. In exe- 
 cution it strikingly resembles many of the cuts in the Gay's 
 Fables of 1779 and the Select Fables of 1784. It displays con- 
 siderable taste, and was highly prized by its successive pos- 
 sessors for a long series of years. The centre of the cut is 
 pierced, to admit of letter-press. 
 
 The late Mr. John Bell, so often referred to in these pages, who 
 was possessed of a wonderful amount of knowledge connected 
 with Bewick and Newcastle in general, thus describes the 
 varied fortunes of this interesting work of art, in a letter to 
 myself in 1850, to which I am happily able to make a most 
 valuable addition. 
 
 "Joseph Barber, who got Bewick to engrave this beautiful cul 
 as a border to a shop-card, died in June or July, 1781. The 
 cut was then used for printing shop-cards by his son, Martin 
 Barber. He shortly after disposed of his stock to Edward 
 Humble, who took down the old sign (for then all shop- 
 keepers had signs) of the Duke of Cumberland's Head, and 
 put up Pope, the Poet's, Head, Thus he continued some time, 
 and then took Roddam, of North Shields, into partnership 
 and removed thither, when this woodcut was the border of 
 the shop-card of ' Humble and Roddam's Circulating Library, 
 Near the Post Office, North Shields ;' which removing, the 
 cut had the word ' Old ' printed in, and read ' Near the Old 
 Post Office, North Shields.' Roddam died and Humble re- 
 turned to Newcastle, and, on the formation of Mosley Street, 
 opened out the corner shop of Mosley and Dean Streets, with 
 the sign of ' The Shakespere's Head.' The cut was then out 
 of sight for some time, when I found it in the possession of 
 Mr. RewcastJe, a printer, in Dean Street, who used it for 
 printing tea-papers for petty tea-dealers to wrap their tea in. 
 Rewcastle had also another border of Bewick's doing, which he 
 used in the same way. T send you all I possess of each. J. B." 
 
 A lortunate circumstance put nic in possession, some lime since.

 The Bewick Collector. 
 
 of a clue to the original block, after it had been lost sight of 
 for a number of years. I pursued it from place to place, until, 
 in a small printing-office in an obscure and remote town in 
 Northumberland, broken into several pieces, and under a mass 
 of fragments of common wood-blocks, I discovered it in com- 
 pany with the next article, and have the satisfaction — and no 
 small one it is — of presenting the collector with an impression 
 of this most interesting rarity. After its many vicissitudes, and 
 the constant dangers to which for the last sixty years at least it 
 has been exposed, its re-introduction to the world will be duly 
 welcomed by all to whom these pages are possessed of value.

 Done, I believe, for the same firm. See Mr, John Bell's note to

 the last, inasmuch as of the four fragments into which the block 
 had been cracked, I was able, after a most minute search, to 
 find but three.

 he ever did." Mr. John Bell. 
 
 "The first wood-cut he did was the representation of a George

 was of a similar nature for the Cock Inn, then one of the 
 best in town, at the Head of the Side. These were executed 
 in the early part of his apprenticeship, and, though consi- 
 dered wonderful productions at that time, they are rude and

 This and the plans which tolluw, except the last, were executed 
 to oppose the making of an intended canal. " They were 
 mostly engraved by Bewick's own hand. The views ot the 
 buildings on them were done by him, and at the time were 
 thought very clever." Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 " My partner and self were busily employed in engraving, about 
 the year 1 796, the plan of the proposed canal from Newcastle 
 to Carlisle, as projected by Mr. Chapman, engineer, and plans 
 of til e estates and views of the mansion-houses of a few gentle- 
 men who opposed the canal, on the north side ot the Tyne."

 NEWSPAPER CUTS, 
 
 The Newspaper Cuts of Bewick are second to none in 
 the ability which they evince. While most of his other 
 works were necessarily intended for more or less limited 
 circulation, the scope of these was commensurate with 
 society at large. To men of all classes, degrees, and 
 conditions were addressed the newspapers, then issued 
 weekly, of his great commercial and manufacturing 
 town ; and eyes that rarely saw most other productions 
 of his graver were familiar with these spirited delinea- 
 tions, of which the close fidelity of some is only 
 equalled by the grace and humour of others. The 
 newspaper of his day was a coarse and badly printed 
 sheet, and the cuts depended for much of their beauty 
 on their intrinsic merit alone. But the wonderful artist 
 that produced them was equal to all requirements, and 
 nothing came amiss to a hand which knew not how to 
 fail. 
 
 Headings of Newspapers. 
 
 (3011.) I. Heading of the Newcastle Courant News- 
 paper. An oak, against the trunk of which is a })ennon

 in the left distance the steeple of St. Nicholas, and in 
 the foreground " hic et ubique." Dated 1803. 
 
 " This and the following articles are successive variations, en- 
 graved as each of the series was injured or considered to be 
 worn out. The cut underwent many alterations in redrawing 
 at each of the many times tliat it was recut, but all of tliem 
 have St. Nicholas steeple and the Old Castle in the back- 
 ground." Mr. John Bell.

 length conducted my reader through the Illustrations 
 of Books and Pamphlets, and the numerous Divisions 
 of Cuts executed both for private purposes and for 
 the various requirements of business and amusement. 
 A large class of Miscellaneous Cuts yet remains for 
 our examination, comprising many of very diversified 
 character, among which are some of his most valued 
 and interesting productions. 
 
 The work which by right claims among these the first 
 place of honour is the engraving of the Chillingham 
 Bull, considered by Thomas Bewick to be his master- 
 piece ; and I am very happy to be able to furnish a 
 far more minute account of the early history of this 
 famous Cut than any which has hitherto been com- 
 mitted to the press. 
 
 The Chillingham Bull was engraved in the year 
 1789, at the request and by the direction of Marma- 
 duke Tunstall, Esq., of Wycliffe, near Greta Bridge. 
 It had in the first instance an ornamental border, and
 
 The Chillingham Wild Bull. 43 i 
 
 measures with it 9I- inches by 7^. Its many and 
 great excellencies have been the theme of all writers 
 on the subject of wood-engraving in England, and 
 more than justify the admiration of the Bewick Col- 
 lector. " The grass and the foliage of the trees," says 
 Mr. Chatto, " are most beautifully expressed ; but 
 there is a want of variety in the more distant trees, and 
 the bark of that in the foreground is too rough. . . . 
 The style in which the bull is engraved is admirably 
 adapted to express the texture of the short white hair 
 of the animal ; the dewlap, however, is not well repre- 
 sented ; it appears to be stiff instead of flaccid and 
 pendulous, and the lines intended for the hairs on its 
 margin are too wiry." This, it must be admitted, is 
 rather hypercritical, and by far the most unfavourable 
 sentence that could be quoted, but is valuable as such, 
 and satisfactory as proceeding from a most able but 
 most unsparing and fastidious judge. 
 
 Several states of the engraving occur, in each of 
 which, as it will be seen, my Collection is superlatively 
 rich. My first example may, without injustice, be 
 said to be the finest known, and of really historical 
 importance. Many of my readers may remember it, 
 as — the admired of all admirers, and surrounded by a 
 splendid assemblage of other works by the same artist 
 — it occupied the middle of a large frame, in the Wood- 
 cut Gallery in the Great Exhibition of 1862. Before 
 I obtained it, it was in the possession of the late Mr. 
 John Bell, of Gateshead, and in a MS. note appended 
 to it that gentleman thus records its pedigree : —
 
 432. The Beivick Collector. 
 
 " Mr. Tunstall, of Wycliffe, for whom the cut of the ChiUingham 
 Bull was done, had given Bewick an invitation that, when the 
 . cut was tinished, he was to come over to WyclifFe and spend a 
 day or two, bringing some impressions with him. The cut 
 was finished in the middle of a week, and the next day Bewick 
 took it to Hodgson's shop, in Union Street, to have some im- 
 pressions taken off; but the presses were then engaged with 
 the newspaper (the ' Newcastle Chronicle'), and they could 
 not do them. It was laid into the shop desk until the Satur- 
 day afternoon, when he came again, and, with my father, went 
 to the printing-office, tlien at the foot of an entry on the West 
 Side of the Groat Market. My father having a very fine small 
 skin of vellum, which he had got for a plan, but which had 
 not been used, he would try how the impressions would look 
 on it, and took it with him to the printing-office, where it was 
 divided into four, and four impressions taken off, which were 
 all of them as good as possible ; but my father, as he had found 
 the vellum, picked that which he thought the best, which is 
 that I have. The other three were given to IVIrs. Hodgson, 
 Mrs. Beilby, and Mr. Bewick to take to Mr. Tunstall. There 
 were also some few impressions taken off on paper, a strong 
 but coarse sort of wove paper, but I could never learn how 
 they were distributed, as Bewick took most of them with him 
 the following day to Mr. Tunstall. When the printing of 
 these impressions was finished, the cut was cleaned ofii" and 
 brought from the press-room to Mr. Bewick, who laid it upon 
 the office-window as the safest place ; but on Monday morn- 
 ing, when the office was opened, the cut was found split in two 
 from the heat of the siui, the window facing the south-west. 
 Putting the wot cut upon the window was aUogether the act 
 of Mr. Bewick, or there would have been some misunderstand- 
 ing about it, which there was not. Jn" Bell." 
 
 This, which, it is important to add, was written in 
 the year 1850, is by far the most particuhir account of 
 the occurrence which has yet been published, and
 
 The Chillingham Wild Bull. 433 
 
 furnishes, in connection with some letters which will be 
 quoted presently, a clear explanation of the various 
 states in which the woodcut appears. 
 
 A great difference of opinion has existed with re- 
 spect to the exact number of the impressions which 
 were taken off during the Saturday, especially of those 
 on parchment or vellum. In his Memoir, Bewick is 
 silent on the subject. Mr. Atkinson, however, who 
 may be considered to have obtained his information 
 from him, says : — 
 
 " The first impressions taken from this block were four on thin 
 vellum and a few on paper before he affixed his name. One 
 of these four Bewick kept himself; Mr. John Bell got one; 
 Mr. Beilby one, which was sold in London for .^20 ; 'and the 
 late Mr. Solomon Hodgson another, which was sold to Earl 
 Spencer." Atkinson's Sketch of T. Bewick, p. 7. 
 
 Mr. Chatto tells us, — 
 
 "When only a few impressions of the Chillingham Bull had been 
 taken, and before he had added his name, the block split. The 
 pressmen, it is said, got tipsy over their work, and lett the 
 block lying on tlie window-sill exposed to the rays of the sun, 
 which caused it to warp and split. About six impressions were 
 taken on thin vellum before the accident occurred." Hist, of 
 Wood Engraving, p. ^']o. 
 
 In the proof of that portion of his work which re- 
 fers to Bewick, which was given by Mr. Chatto to 
 Mr. John Bell, and is now in my possession, the latter 
 has written on the margin " Not the fact," and, in re- 
 ference to the impressions being " about six," he adds 
 " Only four." 
 
 It is certain, however, that this statement of Mr. Bell 
 
 2 u
 
 434 '^'^'^ Bewick Co/lector. 
 
 is erroneous. My own collection will be found to con- 
 tain three impressions on fine parchment, with the bor- 
 der and without the name. Lord Spencer has another, 
 and I have seen two copies in private hands. To add 
 to the confusion, Mr. John Bell himself, in a very 
 interesting letter to Mr. Chatto, dated High Street, 
 Gateshead, May 20, 1840, ten years previous to the 
 date of his note already given, — which, with Mr. 
 Chatto's reply, in the autograph of each of the writers, 
 is now in my possession, — again and again asserts that 
 six impressions were taken, and that they were on 
 parchment and not on vellum. He says : — 
 
 " I have a collection of woodcut impressions in which there are 
 many curious specimens of Bewick's work ; among others, the 
 best impression of the six which were taken from Bewick's 
 large cut of the Cliillingham Bull on parchment, not vellum, as 
 is published to the world. By the bye, the writer of the ac- 
 count of this cut in line 13 page 570 of the Treatise on Wood- 
 engraving is incorrect in saying that ' the pressmen got tipsy 
 over their work,' as at the hour when the impressions were 
 printed most of the men of the office had left. You, I dare 
 say, well know tlie delays which take place with job-work in 
 an (jffice where a newspaper is printed. Bewick brought the 
 cut to my father, in Hodgson's shop, on a Friday, to have some 
 impressions taken off. My father conducted the concerns of 
 the ' Chronicle ' Newspaper, which was published in the after- 
 noon of that day. The presses and the people were all en- 
 gaged with the paper, and as it was clean it was laid for that 
 day into his desk. On Saturday afternoon Bewick called, as he 
 was going to Wycliffe on the Sunday, and my father mention- 
 ing some fine parchment which he had that day received from 
 London to make some plansof estates on, he being also a land- 
 surveyor, it was got out and a skin cut into six jjieces ; and he.
 
 The ChWingham Wild Bull. 435 
 
 Bewick, and Hodgson, went to the printing-office, where the 
 six impressions, afterwards said to be on vellum, were printed oli, 
 together with the same number on paper. My father picked 
 out what he conceived the best impression, for having found 
 the parchment, and Bewick and Hodgson each took one ; and, 
 on Bewick taking the remaining three to his workshop, Beilby, 
 by taking another, reduced the parchment copies to two tor 
 Mr. Tunstall, which, with about half-a-dozen impressions on 
 paper, Bewick took with him next morning to Wyclitfe. 
 When the impressions were taken off, Hodgson, from the si/.e 
 of the cut, wanted to know where it was to be put until Mon- 
 day, when the quantity wanted was to be prmted. Bewick, 
 taking the cut, laid it upon the stone imposing-table, and the 
 parties left the office. On Monday morning, when the office 
 was opened, the cut was found to have split, the sun tor the 
 most part of Sunday having acted upon it through the wuidow. 
 Had it not been altogether in Bewick's hands in placing it 
 where it was, there is not the least doubt Init he would have 
 made Hodgson answerable for it. Of tlie four parchment 
 impressions mentioned as being kept in Newcastle, Bewick, 
 after the dissolution of partnership with Beilby, sold his. Mrs. 
 Hodgson, I believe, gave that which her late husband got to 
 some friend of his. Mrs. Beilby sold her late husband's, through 
 the medium of a third person, to the late Earl Spencer, for a 
 large sum of money. This will be that noticed at line i8,i)age 
 570, but I have been told that the sum was more than what 
 is mentioned there, even as much as fifty pounds ! " 
 
 To this Mr. Chatto replied in a letter, bearing date 
 London, 23rd May, 1840. After some remarks on 
 other matters, he proceeds : — 
 
 " I must now be permitted to make a few observations on your 
 account of the printing of Bewick's famous Chillingham Bull, 
 and I think that after reading them you will scarcely entertain 
 a doubt of there having been more than six impressions taken
 
 436 The Bewick Collector. 
 
 on parchment. 1 have first to observe that you do not fairly 
 quote what is stated about * the pressmen getting tipsy over 
 their work,' at page 570 of the Treatise.. In writing that iden- 
 tical passage I was particularly guarded, in order that what I 
 stated might not be supposed as proceeding from my (jwn 
 knowledge ; and, on referring to the page, you will find that 
 I merely mentioned the circumstance as a report. My words 
 are ' it is said.' I am, however, strongly inclined to believe 
 that the report was correct, and that there are circumstances 
 connected with the taking of an additional number of parch- 
 ment or vellum impressions, which in all probability your father 
 neither heard of nor suspected. At present, be it sufficient for 
 me to state that I had my information from Charlton Nesbit, 
 Bewick's apprentice, and that I saw in his possession an impres- 
 sion of the Bull on parchment, which he obtained from a 
 person in Newcastle previous to 1799. Another impression 
 on thin parchment, not on vellum, as I have incorrectly stated, 
 has been in my possession for the last eight years. Both these 
 impressions bear the undeniable tokens of having been taken 
 when the block was in its perfect state ; they have the larder, 
 and not the slightest indication of the crack. Now I am firmly 
 convinced that neither of these two impressions formed part 
 of the six taken for Bewick in the presence of your father on 
 the Saturday ; therefore, as the block was discovered cracked 
 on the Monday, tliey must have been taken at some interme- 
 diate time. My own copy formerly belonged to the late I'hos. 
 Stothard, R.A. ; from whom he obtained it I have not been 
 able to learn. 1 have heard of a third additional impression on 
 parchment in London, bul, as I have not seen it, I cannot say 
 whether it was taken before the block was injured or not. In 
 concluding this subject, I have further to observe that Nesbit 
 told me that the person from whom he obtained his parchment 
 impression had more than one left." 
 
 Notwithstanding Mr. Chatto's assumption of com- 
 ])lete accuracy, and liis self-satisfaction at having dc-
 
 The Chillingham JVUd Bull. 437 
 
 molished his critic, it is perfectly clear that his argu- 
 ment is fallacious from his ignorance or forgetfulness 
 of what really constitutes the Jirst state of the cut. 
 What he describes is the second state. Mr. Bell 
 makes this evident in his rejoinder, dated " High Street, 
 Gateshead, June 27, 1840." He says: — 
 
 " Reverting to Bewick's Chillingham Bull, the half-dozen im- 
 pressions on fine parchment I mentioned in my letter are with- 
 out his 7iame, which he added at the left-hand corner of the 
 cut, 'T. Bewick, Newcastle, 1789,' during an attempt of his 
 own to close tlie crack after he got it back from the printing- 
 office. He succeeded so far in closing it that he took it back 
 to the printing-office to have it printed, and was al-lc to print 
 some impressions without any mark of the crack ; but it soon, 
 either by bad management or otherwise, got hove up on the 
 edge of one side of the crack, which made a line along the 
 side of the Bull, from below its eye to the tail, blacker on the 
 under side than the part immediately above on the same line. 
 When this did not succeed, he took the cut back to the shop, 
 where it lay for many years, until Wilson, the whitesmith, un- 
 dertook to screw it together and back it witli iron. In this he 
 succeeded, but was obliged to leave out the border, and all tlie 
 impressions after it M'as in his hands are without it. I have 
 made inquiries amongst the old printers and find that .lack 
 Simpson, the pressman in the Chronicle office at the time of 
 Bewick beginning to print the .Quadrupeds, from having suc- 
 ceeded in pleasing Bewick in the manner he worked off the 
 cuts of that work, got quite a large man, and when he chose 
 has come on a Sunday to work at press, when he either wanted 
 to work up lost time or otherwise, and Hannah, the house- 
 maid at Hodgson's, who took in the keys each evening, and he 
 were very thick, when he might have gone to the office and 
 worked off as many as he liked. If he did do .so or not is now 
 lost, for every one of them then living and merry are gone."
 
 438 ^rhe Bewick Collector. 
 
 It would appear, therefore, to be tolerably certain 
 that six impressions on parchment and the same num- 
 ber on paper were all that were taken, with Bewick's 
 knowledge, on the Saturday before the block was in- 
 jured, but that Simpson may have clandestinely taken 
 some other impressions on the Sunday, and that to his 
 unauthorized use of the cut the lamentable injury may 
 possibly be attributable. Allowing, however, that Simp- 
 son had the power, I do not believe that he exercised 
 it in this particular instance. The parchment impres- 
 sions referred to by Mr. Chatto are known to bear the 
 name of the artist, and were accordingly taken after 
 the first attempt at reparation, and not on the Sunday 
 when the cut was at the office. And I very much doubt 
 whether more than .six impressions on parchment, with 
 the border, and really without the name, can be found to 
 exist. I say " really without the name," as I discovered 
 several years ago an impression on paper from which 
 an endeavour had been made to obliterated the name 
 by means of a thick coat of printers' ink. The same 
 fraud may, of course, be attempted on a parchment 
 impression. 
 
 Whether Bewick carried a parchment impression 
 to Mr. Tunstall seems very doubtful. Possibly my 
 second and third impressions are two of the three which 
 he retained. It is, liowever, probable that he gave that 
 gentleman all the impressions taken on paper, and that 
 none found their way to any other quarter. I am not 
 aware of the existence of a single impression on paper 
 taken from the block before the addition of the name.
 
 The Chillingham IViJd Bull. 439 
 
 (3295.) I. The Chillingham Wild Bull. On Jine 
 parchment. With the border. Without the engraver s 
 name, and ivithout the printed title at the foot. From Mr. 
 John Bell. (See the previous Introduction.) This is 
 known as the first state. 
 
 (3296.) 1. Another impression. On Jine parchment. 
 Similar to the former article. Obtained many years 
 ago from Miss Bewick. 
 
 (3297.) 3. Another. On Jine parchment. Similar 
 to the two former articles. From Miss Bewick. 
 
 These impressions present no indication of the unhappy accident 
 already described. Each of them is a most beautiful work of 
 art, with the border, without the engraver's name, and without 
 the printed title at the foot. I have never known an impression 
 for public sale. 
 (3298.) 4. Another impression. On yellow China 
 jmper. 
 
 This is in the second state, and is the only impression of this state 
 on China paper that I have ever heard of. In the left corner 
 of the foreground is "T Bewick Newcastle 1789" The 
 "T" and " B " are united in a monogram — a favourite prac- 
 tice, as we have often noticed, of the artist. It formerly pos- 
 sessed the border, of which it is remembered to have been de- 
 prived to accommodate it to the dimensions of a lady's album. 
 
 (3299.) 5. Another impression. On paper. In the 
 second state. With the border, name, and title. Under 
 the cut is printed '• The Wild Bull, of the Ancient 
 Caledonian Breed, now in the Park at Chillingham- 
 Castle, Northumberland. 1789." 
 
 Obtained from Mr. Thomas Bell. Impressions of this kind, 
 when occurring for sale, usually fetch from three to five gui- 
 neas, and the price is gradually increasing. 
 
 (3300.) 6. Another impression. On paper. In the 
 second state. With the border, name, and title. 
 
 Similar to the former. Obtained from Mr. William Garret, who
 
 440 The Beivick Collector. 
 
 says of it, " A very fine impression, antl, upon the whole, in 
 good condition when compared with most of the copies that 
 have passed through my hands." 
 
 (3301.) 7. Another impression. On paper. In the 
 second state. With the border, name, and title. 
 Similar to the former. 
 In all the foregoing no trace of the injury to the block is visible. 
 
 (3302.) 8. Another impression. On paper. 
 This bears unhappy evidence that the attempt at reparation was 
 unsuccessful, and that the block is incurably split in all direc- 
 tions. It is without the border and the title, and has been 
 spaced out by Bewick with a black-lead pencil, into squares, for 
 re-engraving. It was obtained from Mr. W. Garret, who says, 
 " The impression of tlie Bull which I have just sent you is a 
 curious and valuable one, for when the block was cracked, 
 Bewick despaired of its ever being repaired, and therefore set 
 to work and squared out an impression, the one sent, for a new 
 block, should he not succeed in clamping it togetlicr." The 
 impressions, however, bear evidence immediately and ever 
 afterwards of the unfortunate accident which the block had 
 sustained. 
 
 (3303.) 9. Another impression. On paper. 
 
 This is similar in all respects to the last, except that it has not 
 been spaced for re-engraving. It is evident, however, that each 
 of these two rough impressions was taken for no other purpose 
 than the reproduction of the cut on another block. 
 
 Obtained from Miss Bewick. 
 
 (3304.) 10. Another impression. On white India paper. 
 
 This is the third and present state, in which impressions are still 
 occasionally taken. I'he cracks are very conspicuous. It has 
 simply a double line border, and below the cut is printed " The 
 Wild Bull, of the Ancient Caledonian Breed, now in the Park 
 at Chillingham-Castle, Northumberland." 
 
 Obtained from Miss Bewick. 
 
 (3305.) II. Another impression. 0)\ ivhitc India paper. 
 
 Exactly similar to the last. Obtained from Miss Bewick.
 
 The C/ii!/ingham IVild Bull. 441 
 
 (3306.) 12. Another impression. On ahite hidia paper. 
 Exactly similar to the last. Obtained from Mr. J. G. Bell. 
 
 No certain rule can be given as to the price of impressions in this 
 state. It has hitherto ranged from twenty to twenty-five shil- 
 lings (one, indeed, has been sold for three guineas), but the in- 
 creasing avidity with which genuine impressions are sought for 
 has necessarily a tendency to make still higher prices common. 
 The same remark may be made of every price-quotation in the 
 present catalogue. 
 
 The collector of the works of Bewick should be earnestly cau- 
 tioned against a number of engravings falsely represented by 
 their vendors to be impressions of this famous Block. It is true 
 that these can deceive none who have seen genuine specimens, 
 but they serve the purpose of imposing on the ignorant. One 
 of them, I am assured, was produced some years ago expressly 
 in order to meet the constantly occurring demand, which it 
 was manifestly impossible to supply. The cut of the Wild 
 Bull in Richardson's Table Book, vol. vi. page 15, has also, 
 when printed without the letter-press, been often exhibited as 
 the genuine engraving. In this very indifferent specimen of 
 the artist's skill, the animal is represented with its fore legs 
 close to each other, widiout the tree on tlie left and without 
 the name, with a few bad hues of foreground, and some un- 
 meaning foliage in the rear. A friend has presented me with 
 a set of impressions on paper, India paper, parchment, line 
 vellum, and white satin. Very large sums have been given 
 for such worthless counterfeits, and I am doing the collector a 
 service, for which he may have too great a reason to thank me, 
 by softly whispering to him before he purchases — Cave to !

 BEWICK'S LITHOGRAPH. 
 
 (3307.) " The Cadger s Trot." A Lithograph. 
 "Sketched by T B at Edinburgh 21 Aug^ 1823" 
 [reversed, and the T B in a monogram] . In the left 
 corner is "Robertson & Ballantine's Lithog?" Edin!" 
 
 This is Bewick's solitary specimen of lithography, 
 and represents " the long plunging pace " of a cadger's 
 horse. 
 
 A Newcastle gentleman furnished me many years 
 ago with the following account : — 
 
 " In 1823 Bewick did his only specimen of lithography, a sketch 
 to illustrate the long plunging pace of a horse, called the 
 * Cadger's Trot.' It was done for Ballantyne, of Edinburgh, 
 When visiting Robertson's printing-office at that place, Bewick 
 saw one of the men working at a lithographic stone, making 
 what he thought a fine horse. Bewick told him I hat a horse 
 at any speed could not throw its fore-feet forward beyond its 
 nose, and took up the drawing pencil and gave him a sketch 
 of a man on horseback, with which the printer was so de- 
 lighted that he wanted to preserve it on the stone. Bewick, 
 however, declined, and had it rubbed off after taking a few 
 impressions."
 
 Beivick's Lithograph. 443 
 
 Mr. John Bell, from whom my impression was ob- 
 tained, writes as follows : — 
 
 " When Bewick and his eldest daughter went down to Edinburgh, 
 Ballantyne and some others invited him to breakfast, during 
 which a stone was brought, and he was induced to sketch the 
 Man and Horse, to which he added his favourite man hanging 
 on a gibbet in the distance. There were not above twenty- 
 five or so impressions taken, which were divided amongst the 
 company present, he getting his share, one of which he brought 
 to me on the Sunday morning after he returned home, and 
 related the circumstances about it. I told Mr. G. C. Atkinson 
 these particulars, which I expect he published in his Memoir 
 of him." 
 
 Mr. Atkinson says : — 
 
 " The only specimen of lithography by Bewick is a sketch he 
 made in Edinburgh for Ballantyne and Robertson, in 1823, to 
 illustrate the long plunging pace of a horse, sometimes called 
 Cadger's Trot. It is a highly spirited thing." Atkinson's 
 Sketch of T. Bewick, p. 15. 
 
 These remarks were written by Mr. Atkinson with 
 the present impression lying before him. It was lent 
 by Mr. Bell to him, as appears from a memorandum 
 of the former in my possession, on the 7th of June, 
 and returned on the 15th of September, 1830. 
 
 Bewick's own account of the matter, though less 
 minute and interesting than that already given, does 
 not essentially vary from its details. He says : — 
 
 " I have almost forgotten to name my being introduced to Messrs. 
 Ballantyne and Robertson, lithographic printers. Whilst I was 
 in their office, the latter pressed me to make a sketch on the 
 stone for him. I was then preparing to leave Edinburgh, and 
 the only time left me was so short that I was obliged to draw

 this sketch before breakfast the next morning, and the proofs 
 were taken from it on the same day. In doing this, though 
 very slight, I couUl see what that manner of making prints 
 was capable of. I left Edinburgh on the 23rd vVugnst, 1823."

 (o347.) I. I. A Lion. With elevated tail. Head 
 to the right. Proof on paper. 
 
 (3348.) I. 2. Another impression. Proof on paper. 
 
 This, together with Nos. 5, 7, and 9, was done in 1799 for Mr. 
 Pidcock, the owner of a travelling menagerie then in Newcas- 
 tle. Before they were used by him a few impressions from 
 each block were taken off on drawing paper. Mr. G. C. 
 Atkinson says that " Bewick had 150 impressions of the Lion, 
 200 of the Tiger, 250 of the Elephant, and 150 of the Zebra, 
 struck off before the blocks were put into Mr. Pidcock's hands." 
 (Sketch of Bewick, page 9.) It is most important to remark 
 that they differ considerably from those for which they are 
 generally mistaken, and are infinitely finer and more charac- 
 teristic. From the late Mr. John Bell. 
 
 [See among the " Cuts for Exhibitions," Nos. (2262.), (2263.), 
 for impressions of this cut on the show-bills of Mr. Pidcock, 
 and of Mr. Howis his successor.] 
 
 (3349.) 2. A Lion. Exactly similar to the former, 
 but reversed. Proof on paper. 
 
 " The Lion he engraved thrice afterwards ; once a plain reverse 
 in position to the one done for Mr. Pidcock, again in a dif- 
 ferent attitude, and one a little smaller, couchant." Atkinson's 
 Sketch of T. Bewick, p. 9. 
 
 " I believe this to be unique." Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 (3350.) 3. I. A Lion. Head to the right. Un- 
 finished proof. On vellum. Body of the animal very 
 wavy. From Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 This is one of a series published subseciuently, to which Ik'wick 
 (lid no more than give some finishing touches. It is doubtlul, 
 indeed, whether he did even so much as that to more than 
 one of them. The series consists of the Lion, Tiger, Ele- 
 phant, and Zebra, Nos. 3, 6, 8, and 10, of this Division, and 
 of a portrait of Bewick, by Nesbit, accompanied by a view 
 of the Newcastle Old Exchange, by Bewick, underneath. A

 small number of this series was published in sets, and sold at 
 2^s. the set. A very few impressions were taken on \\hite 
 India paper and on vellum, and what were called unique copies 
 on tinted India paper. 
 *' This cut of the Lion was engraved by Bewick's pupil, William 
 Temple, and when finished only three impressions were taken 
 off, which have the wavy appearance on the sides ot the ani- 
 mal, etc. The block was then returned to Bewick at his own 
 request, when he altered the cut considerably with his own 
 hand, which gave the animal a better appearance of hair. It 
 took him a considerable time to restore the hairy appearance 
 of the body of the animal and get rid of the cloudy appearance. 
 The cut was finished by Bewick's own hand under my own 
 eye." Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 (3351.) 3. 2. Another impression. Unfinished proof. 
 On vellum. Body of the animal less wavy than the 
 former. From Mr. W. Garret,

 From Mr. J. G. Bell. 
 
 The copies on tinted India paper have been said to be unique, but 
 this is proved to be incorrect by the two impressions now de- 
 scribed. They are, however, very nearly so. 
 
 (3362.) 4. I. Lion. A very beautiful cut, the 
 head of the animal, which is in a regarding attitude, 
 to the right, with a little foliage for the background. 
 
 I am not aware that it was ever published, and have to thank a 
 member of the artist's family for this and my other impressions. 
 They are aU proofs on paper.

 (3370.) 6. I. Tiger. Head to the left. A back-

 From Mr. J. G. Bell. 
 
 This is another of the series described above. Like the rest, it 
 was probably done by Temple, and received a few final touches 
 from Bewick's hand. The differences in the body of the animal 
 itself from the pre\ious article, though minute, are easily dis- 
 cernible 5 and there is, as already stated, a background of trees, 
 etc., which is not in that executed for Mr. Pidcock.

 The intention of this singular production has given rise to much 
 and contradictory speculation. In an autograph note appended 
 to my second impression Mr. Sykes describes it as " A very 
 curious cut, never published. It was intended to illustrate
 
 Mi.scellaiieuim CiU.s— Various. 459 
 
 memoirs of his acquaintances who had left this world during 
 his hfetime, but which was never pubhshed. J. Sykes." Ac- 
 cording to Mr. W. A. Chat to, " one of the fables, written by- 
 Bewick, was objected to by the printer, the late Mr. E. Walker, 
 and at his request it was omitted." In the cut " the world is 
 represented as having lost its balance, and legions of his fa- 
 vourite devils are seen hurled about in a confused vortex. The 
 fable, it is said, was intended as a satire on the ministerial politics 
 of the time." History of Wood-Engraving, p. 596. 
 In Bewick's Memoir, page 325, the fable is given under the title 
 of "The Alarm." It describes the re-election of King Igno- 
 rance by a great majority, and the fate of millions of tiends, 
 which " in their faU through endless space, by the violence of 
 their motion, ignited, were whirled into balls of fire, and gravi- 
 tated to the sun."

 This was lent by Mr. Bell to Mr. Atkinson, for description in his 
 ' Sketch of T. Bewick," on the 7th of June, and returned on 
 the 13th of September, 1830. Mr. Atkinson says : — " Such a 
 feeling " of regard " it was which pervaded the bosom of Mr. 
 Bewick towards his early preceptor," the Rev. Christopher 
 Gregson, " and led him not only to speak of him at all times 
 in terms of the sincerest gratitude and respect, but at a later 
 period to engrave a proiile shade of him for the illustration 
 of a memoir of himself, intended to contain likenesses of his 
 friends." Atkinson's Sketch of T. Bewick, p. 5.

 The history of this engraving is singularly interest- 
 ing. It is of large size, nearly 12 inches by 9 inches, 
 and its execution occupied Bewick during the last days 
 of his life. 
 
 "Bewick, in his Memoir," says the editor of that volume, " in 
 stating what he believes may be done by the printing of large 
 woodcuts from two or more blocks, intimates his intention of 
 making the attempt, to show that it is not a visionary theory. 
 With this view he executed a large woodcut, the subject being 
 an Old Horse ' Waitmg for Death.' A first proof was taken 
 a few days before his death. An impression at the same time 
 was transferred to a second l)lock, the exact size of the first, 
 and was intended to have been engraved to heighten and im- 
 prove the effect of the print ; and a third was prepared to be
 
 JVaitiiig for Dtath 475 
 
 used if necessary. A few impressions of the first of the series 
 were printed in London in 1833, and were accompanied hy a 
 descriptive history of the Horse, written so far back as 1785. 
 The print (in a finished state) was intended to have been de- 
 dicated to the ' Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- 
 mals,' and was also meant to serve as one of a set of cheap 
 embellishments for tlie walls of cottages." Appendix to 
 Bewick's Memoir, p. 329. 
 
 See tlie note to No. (1477.). 
 
 "At the time of his death," says Mr. Atkinson, "he was engaged 
 in a beautiful style of wood-cutting, on large blocks, which had 
 for its object to eftect a humane improvement in the condition 
 of the Horse, an animal so essentially useful to us, yet, in many 
 cases, so inconsiderately neglected and abused. It occurred to 
 him that any cheap representation of this animal, in a state of 
 evident suffering from want of- care and ill-treatment, executed 
 with sufficient force to strike the recollection, and awaken the 
 better feelings of those to whom he is usually intrusted, would 
 tend more than anything to ameliorate his condition. The 
 model he followed in the execution of this plan was 'The Old 
 Horse waiting for Death,' introduced in the ' Fables ' as a 
 vignette. He employed for it four blocks joined together, and 
 backed with t\vo transverse layers of mahogany, to prevent 
 them from warping, forming a large block of about ten inches 
 by eight. On this he designed, in his happiest style, a wretched 
 old horse, in view of all the comforts of the farmyard, but 
 without the power of attaining them : an old stone wall, quite 
 a new subject, as he remarked, intervening. In this print he 
 intended to adopt the use of at least two blocks. On the first, 
 which was almost finished when he died, he cut the subject in 
 a crude unfinished manner, omitting the efiects of shade, so 
 that the impression conveyed the idea of an unfinished en- 
 graving. An impression of this he intended, while damp, to 
 apply to another block of similar dimensions, which was to be 
 devoted to shade and dark effect alone. On the Saturday pre- 
 vious to his death, he took the first block to Walker's and had
 
 476 Tfie Bewick CuUvctor. 
 
 four impressions struck." Atkinson's Sketch of T. Bewick, 
 pp. 9, 10. 
 " This cut," says Mr. Chatlo, " with the head said to have been 
 finished by another person, was pubhshed by Bewick's son, 
 Mr. Robert Elhott Bewick, in 1832. It is the largest cut that 
 Bewick ever engraved, but, having been left by him in an un- 
 finished state, it would be impossible to say what he might 
 have etFected had he lived to work out his ideas, and unfair to 
 judge of it as if it were a finished performance. It is, how- 
 ever, but just to remark that the miserable appearance of the 
 poor, worn-out, neglected animal is represented with great 
 feeling and truth, — excepting tlie head, which is dispropor- 
 tionately large and heavy, — and that the landscape displays 
 Bewick's usual fidelity in copying nature." History of Wood- 
 Engraving, p. 599. 
 
 Each of my impressions is accompanied, as stated 
 above, by a folio page of letterpress. It was the com- 
 position of Bewick himself, and does honour at once to 
 his head and heart. 
 
 " WAITING FOR DEATH. 
 
 " In the morning of his days he was handsome, sleek as a raven, 
 sprightly and spirited, and was then much caressed and happy. 
 When he grew to perfection, in his performances, even on the 
 turf, and afterwards in the cliase, and in the field, he was 
 ecjualled by few of his kind. At one time of his life he saved 
 that of his master, uhom he bore, in safet)'-, across the rapid 
 ficjod ; Ijiit having, in climbing the opposite rocky shore, re- 
 ceived a blemish, it was thought linideiit to dispose of him : 
 after which he fell into the hands of difi'erent masters, but from 
 none of them did he ever cat the bread of idleness ; and, as he 
 grew in years', his cup of misery was slill augmented with 
 bitterness.

 cruelty, who employed him alternately, but closely, as a hack, 
 both in the chaise and for the saddle ; for when the traces and 
 trappings, used in the former, had peeled the skin from off his 
 breast, shoulders, and sides, he was then, as his back was whole, 
 thought fit for the latter ; indeed, his exertions, in this service 
 of unfeeling avarice ?Lndi folly, were great beyond belief. He 
 was always, late and early, made ready for action j he was 
 never allowed to rest, even on the Sabbath day, because he 
 could trot well, had a good bottom, and was the best hack in 
 town ; and, it being a day of pleasure and pastime, he was much 
 sought after by beings, /// appearance, something like gentlemen j 
 in whose hands his suti'erings were greater than his nature could 
 bear. Has not the compassionate eye beheld him, whipped, 
 spurred, and galloped beyond his strength, in order to accom- 
 plish double the length of the journey that he was engaged to 
 perform ; till, by the inward grief expressed in his countenance, 
 he seemed to plead for mercy, one would have thought most 
 powerfully, but, alas ! in vain. In the whole load which he bore, 
 (as was often tlie case,) not an ounce of humanity could be found; 
 and, [his rider] beuig determined to have pennyworths for his 
 money, the ribs of this silent slave, where not a hair had, for 
 long, been sutfered to grow, were still ripped up : he was 
 pushed forward through a stony rivulet, then on hard road 
 against the hill, and having lost a shoe, spht his hoof, and being 
 quite spent with hunger and fatigue, he fell, broke his nose and 
 his knees, and was unable to proceed ; — and becoming greased, 
 spavined, ringboned, blind of an eye, and the skin, by repeated 
 friction, being worn off all the large prominences of his body, 
 he was judged to be only fit for the dogs : — however, one 
 shilling and sixpence beyond the dog-horse price saved his 
 life, and he became the property of a poor dealer and horse 
 doctor. 
 
 It is amazing to think upon the vicissitudes of his life ; he had 
 often been burnished up, his teeth defaced by art, peppered 
 under his tail ; then became the property of a general, a gen- 
 tleman, a farmer, a miller, a l)iitcher, a higgler, and a maker of

 brooms. A hard winter coming on, a want of money, and a 
 want of meat, obliged his poor owner to turn him out to shift 
 for himself: his former fame and great value are now, to him, 
 not worth a handful of oats. But his days and nights of mi- 
 sery are now drawing to an end. So that, after having faith-

 DRAWINGS. 
 
 (3575.) I. Scene in the Fern Islands. 
 
 A large water-colour drawing, admirably executed. 
 
 "Truly interesting and valuable, as taken by Thomas Bewick on 
 
 the spot, when engaged in his early studies which produced the 
 
 'History of British Birds.' " J. B. 
 See Bewick's Memoir, pp. 87-91. 
 
 (3576.) 2. View of Bameorough Castle. 
 
 A large and very clever water-colour drawing. Bewick has 
 written the date "July 13th" on the top. On the back is a 
 faint pencil sketch of a landscape with figures. Obtained from 
 Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 (3577.) 3. Mud Cottage in the Fern Islands, 
 
 A large water-colour drawing. From the same. On the back 
 is a pencil sketch of the interior of a boat, with two men 
 rowing — evidently from nature. See Bewick's Memoir, pp. 
 87-91. 
 
 (3578.) 4. Side of a Stone Quarry. 
 
 A very beautiful drawing in sepia. 
 
 " A precious morsel, intended as an illustration for Somervile's 
 
 Chase, but not used and never engraved." " A perfect gem." 
 
 Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 (3579.) 5. A Lioness. 
 
 A very clever sketch in pencil, taken, it is said, on the top of his 
 hat, in a travelling menagerie. Bewick has written on it 
 " Jan'; 24. 1795- I'ioness. Newcastle upon Tyne."
 
 480 The Bewick Collector. 
 
 (3580.) 6. Pack Horses. 
 
 A clever drawing in Indian ink. 
 
 " A design made by Thomas Bewick for .Tohn Straker, Esq., a 
 prominent member of our Typographical Society, for a wood- 
 cut which was never engraved." "The pedigree of ' Pack 
 Horses ' is very good. It only passed through one party be- 
 tween Bewick and myself." Mr. W, Garret. 
 
 (3581.) 7. The Greater Spotted Woodpecker. 
 
 Of the natural size and colours. Obtained from Mr. W. Garret, 
 who had it from James P. Church, Esq., formerly House- 
 Surgeon of the Newcastle Infirmary, to whom it was given by 
 Mrs. Beilby, widow of Bewick's partner. 
 
 "The Woodpecker is a perfect gem." "Mr. Beilby took great 
 credit to himself as the teacher and director of the genius of 
 Thomas Bewick. He had a scrap-book, in which he placed, 
 from time to time, some of the best specimens of Bewick's 
 abilities. His widow gave away many of these to friends, and 
 others were lent to parties that never returned them." Mr. 
 W. Garret. 
 
 (3582.) 8. The Parson, the Dog, and the 
 Beggar. 
 
 A sketch, in Indian ink, for the vignette at pp. 69 and 1 75 in the 
 edition of Gay's Fables, i2mo, York, 1806 j No. (215.) of 
 this catalogue. It is repeated in the Select Fables of 1820, p. 
 248 ; No. (428.). The background in the drawing differs 
 from that in the engraving, especially in the figure of the 
 church tower, which in the former shows the well-known out- 
 line of St. Nicholas, Newcastle. Obtained from Mr. Robin- 
 son, of Newcastle. 
 
 (3583.) 9. The Captured Snake. 
 
 A clever sketch in pencil, afterwards slightly altered for the cut 
 which appears on the title of ' the Life and Adventures of 
 David Dobbinson.' No. (4^4.) of this Catalogue.

 WOOD-BLOCKS. 
 
 A Division of this Collection second to none, if in- 
 deed it be not first of all, is the incomparable assem- 
 blage of Wood-Blocks. These are upwards of twelve 
 hundred in number, and include not only the Cuts of 
 many of the best and most important books illustrated 
 by Thomas and John Bewick, but also a multitude of 
 others executed by the former for various purposes, 
 and holding the foremost place among his most popular 
 and valued productions. In their acquisition the older 
 printing-offices of London and the Northern Counties 
 have been ransacked of their contents ; and from among 
 the numbers which have doubtless perished through the 
 combined influences of time, use, neglect, and accident, 
 it is a matter of no little congratulation that so many 
 have been rescued and preserved. The family of the 
 artist still retains the Cuts of the 'Qtiadrupeds,' 'Birds,' 
 and '^Esop;' but those of a far greater number of works, 
 and of equal celebrity, including Somervile's Chase, 
 Goldsmith and Parnell's Poems, the Hive, the Hermit 
 of Warkworth, the Poems of Burns, of Ferguson, and 
 
 3 c

 of Adams, and other productions of the Alnwick press, 
 the Sportsman's Cabinet, British Field Sports, etc. etc., 
 are here assembled in one matchless series. For the 
 most part they are in admirable condition, and able to 
 furnish impressions of a far more brilliant kind than 
 those which are ordinarily found in the various publi- 
 cations in which they originally appeared. 
 
 Reference has frequently been made in the previous 
 pages to the fact that the original Block also is in 
 my possession, though, as the following list will show, 
 such notice was in very many instances omitted for the 
 sake of brevity. 
 
 The same remark may be made with regard to the 
 localities from whence the contents of this and the 
 other Divisions have been obtained. Some only of 
 the more noted of the multitude of widely spread 
 sources have been recorded. I have also been specially 
 careful to omit the name of the former possessor in 
 all cases where I imagine that its mention might be 
 productive of pain. 
 
 About fifty cuts exclusive of the number above 
 stated are by the pupils of Thomas Bewick. They can 
 easily be distinguished by instructed eyes, for rarely, 
 if ever, did the great Master handle his graver without 
 leaving sufficient evidence of his presence for such to 
 recognize and detect him. Copies of his cuts, and 
 those in many cases of considerable ability, abound in 
 multitudes of printing-offices, and are constantly ex- 
 hibited as genuine specimens of his skill. It is, indeed, 
 most interesting and wonderful to notice the influence
 
 JVood-Blochs. 483 
 
 of Bewick in the world of wood-engraving, and to mark 
 how completely the guidance of this first of teachers 
 has been followed by all subsequent students of his 
 exquisite art. 
 
 I have done my best to present the reader, as well in 
 the pages which precede as in those which follow, with 
 impressions of characteristic specimens of the various 
 groups. But as little, after all, can be effected by the 
 offering of single examples, however beautiful, of many 
 of the sections, I have it in contemplation to prepare 
 and issue a volume of the Cuts alone, in which the im- 
 pressions will be all the more brilliant from the exclu- 
 sive attention devoted to them through the absence of 
 letter-press, and by which this insurmountable defi- 
 ciency in the present work will be abundantly supplied.

 APPENDIX. 
 
 I HAVE reserved for a short Appendix a complete Col- 
 lection of the various Portraits of Thomas Bewick, a 
 most interesting series of autograph letters and other 
 documents of him and his family, some curious and 
 unique memorials of various kinds of himself, his fa- 
 mily, and business connections, and the rarest and 
 choicest of the works of his pupils. The former de- 
 partments are invaluable as illustrations of his personal 
 history, while the last exhibits his success in the crea- 
 tion of a school of wood-engravers, who, if not equal 
 to their great master, are after him the best of which 
 English art can boast.

 (3886.) 4. Letter of Thomas Bewick to Mr. Scott, 
 dated Newcastle, 29 Dec!" 18 14. 
 
 Inquires whether he will take a young man, named Robt. Aeon, 
 or Aikin, cartwright, of Collill, Northumberland, whose draw- 
 ings have attracted the notice of some gentlemen in his neigh- 
 bourhood, to learn engraving, and, if so, upon what terms, etc. 
 
 (3887.) 5. Letter of Thomas Bewick to a gentle- 
 man at Durham, written in July, 1816, requesting pay-

 (3888.) 6. Letter in the handwriting of Miss Bewick, 
 but signed by Thomas Bewick, to R. E. Croker, Esq? 
 dated Newcastle Tyne, June 26, 1822. 
 
 Acknowledges the receipt of sS^ for engraving his arms, and his 
 gratification that the work had met with his approbation. Pro- 
 mises to apprise him of the completion of his work on Fishes. 
 " I have already made some progress in the business, particu- 
 larly with the vignettes."

 (3889.) 7. Letter of Thomas Bewick to Mr. Charn- 
 ley, dated Gateshead, 22 May, 1826. Obtained from 
 Mr. W. Garret. 
 
 Begins with an account of his ill-health, and intended visit to 
 Buxton. Laments the inconvenient expense which this will 
 bring upon him, and solicits payment of his Christmas account. 
 Concludes with an attack on Mr. Charnley, whom he had 
 fondly considered as his friend, for the copying of one of his 
 cuts to embellish Mr. Roxby's pretty little Fisher's Garland 
 [see Nos. (376.), (3812.)]. States the law of copyright, and 
 the punishment for its violation. " I trust you will see this in 
 its proper hght, & in future not attempt to act so improperly." 
 Supposes that Mr. Nicholson was the artist employed in this un- 
 friendly business. " If so, I shall be ol-/iged to conrince him of 
 the impropriety of his conduct. He knows perfectly well how 
 easy it is to make a facsimile of any design on wood, &: that 
 an impression from any woodcut can, line by line, be trans- 
 ferred to a plain block, so that there is no difficulty in cutting 
 the lines so distinctly thus burnished on," etc.

 engravings. Exceedingly rare. The block and nearly all the 
 impressions were burnt in the fire of Bensley's printing-office. 
 The artist received a gold medal from the Society of Arts for 
 his very beautiful work. See the History of Wood Engraving,

 London : Printed for Cadell and Davies ; [etc.]

 8vo. Pp. xiv, 135. With some exquisite specimens of Clennell's 
 powers. 
 
 " An admirable specimen of Clennell's engraving is to be found 
 in an octavo edition of Falconer's Shipwreck, printed for Ca- 
 dell and Davies, 1808. It occurs as a vignette to the second 
 canto at page 43, and the subject is a ship running before the 
 wind in a gale. The motion of the waves, and the gloomy 
 appearance of the sky, are represented with admirable truth 
 and feeling. The dark shadow on the waters to the right gives 
 wonderful effect to the white crest of the wave in front ; and the 
 whole appearance of the cut is indicative of a gloomy and tem- 
 pestuous day, and of an increasing storm. Perhaps no engraving 
 of the same kind, either on copper or wood, conveys the idea 
 of a storm at sea with greater fidelity. The drawing was made 
 on the block by Thurston ; but the spirit and effect, — the 
 lights and shadows, the apparent seething of the waves, and 
 the troubled appearance of the sky,— were introduced by Clen- 
 nell." W. A. Chatto, in Jackson's History of Wood Engraving,

 [The long series of Books and Pamphlets being arranged in Chronological Order, an 
 Index is absolutely necessary to facilitate reference. As, however, the contents of most 
 of the other Divisions, including the Book-Plates, Cuts for Societies, Companies and 
 Exhibitions, and Trade and Commercial Cuts of various descriptions — a complete List 
 of which, together with their places in the Volume, will be found in the Table of Con-

 etc. By C. D. Badham, M.D. Second Edition. Edited by F. Cuekey, 
 F.R.S. Demy 8vo, 152 pp., 12 Coloured Plates, 12*. 
 
 A lively classical treatise, written with considerable epigrammatic humour, 
 with the view of showing that we have upwards of 30 Species of Fungi abounding 
 in our woods capable of affording nutritious aud savoury food, but which, from 
 ignorance or prejudice, are left to perish ungathered. " I have indeed grieved," 
 says the Author, " when reflecting on the straitened condition of the lower 
 orders, to see pounds of extempore beefsteaks growing on our oaks, in the shape 
 of Fistulina hepatka; Puff-balls, which some have not inaptly compared to 
 sweetbread ; Hi/dna, as good as oysters ; and Arjaricus deliciosus, reminding us of 
 tender lamb-kidney." Superior coloured Figures of the Species are giveu from 
 the pencil of Mr. Fitch.

 This beautifully-illustrated work is the production of a lady who, being an 
 accomplished artist, occupied the leisure of many years in accumulating a port- 
 folio of exquisite drawings of the more attractive forms aud varieties of British 
 Fungi. The publication was brought to an end with the 140th Plate by her 
 sudden decease. The Figures are mostly of the natural size, cai-efuUy c^ilourcd

 LovELL Reeve, F.L S. Royal Svo, 2 vols., 478 pp., 62 Coloured Plates, 
 £2. 16*. 
 
 Intended as a guide to the collector of shells in arranging and naming his 
 specimens, while at the same time inducing him to study them with reference 
 to their once living existence, geographical distribution, and habits. Forty- 
 six of the plates are devoted to the illustration of the genera of shells, and 
 sixteen to shells with the living animal, all beautifully coloured by hand.

 Geographical Distribution. By Lovei.l Reeve, F.L.S. Demy 4to, pub- 
 lished monthly in Parts, 8 Plates, carefully coloured by hand, 10*. 
 
 Of this work, comprising illustrations of Shells of the natural size, nearly 
 2000 Plates are published, but the plan of publication admits of the collector 
 purchasing it at his ojjtion in portions, each of which is complete in itself. Each 
 genus, as the work progresses, is issued separately, with Title and Index ; and an 
 Alphabetical List of the published genera, with the prices annexed, may be pro- 
 cured of the publishers on application. The system of nomenclature adopted 
 is that of Lamarck, modified to meet the exigencies of later discoveries. With the 
 name of each species is given a summary of its leading specific characters in 
 Latiu and English ; then the authority for the nanu: is quoted, accompanied 
 by a reference to its original dcscrijition ; and next in order are its Synonyms. 
 The habitat of the species is next given, accompanied, where possible, by par- 
 ticulars of soil, depth, or vegetation. Finally, a few general remarks arc ofl'ered, 
 calling attention to the most obvious distinguishing peculiarities of the species, 
 with criticisms, where necessary, on the views of other writers. At the com- 
 mencement of the genus some notice is taken of the animal, and the habitats 
 of the species are worked up into a general snnmiary of the geographical distri- 
 bution of the genus.

 The Author, recognizius; the established facts and inevitable deductions of 
 Science, and believing all attempts to reconcile them with the commonly re-

 general principles, consistent alike with their authenticity, when rightly under- 
 stood, and with the exigencies of Science. He treats in successive chapters of 
 The Flint Weapons of the Drift, — The Creation, — The Paradisiacal State,— The 
 Genealogies, — The Deluge, — Babel and the Dispersion ; and adds an Appendix 
 of valuable information from various sources.

 been the means of introducing to the public nearly two hundred of this favourite 
 tribe of plants not hitherto described and figured, or very imperfectly so. It is 
 intended from these to select "a Second Century," and the descriptions, written 
 at the time of publication by Sir W. J. Hooker, will be edited, and iu many 
 cases re-written, agreeably with the present more advanced state of our know- 
 ledge and experience in the cultivation of Orchidaceous plants, by Mr. Bateman, 
 the acknowledged successor of Dr. Lindley as the leading authority in this de- 
 partment of botany and horticulture. The size of the work is a handsome royal 
 quarto, and it is proposed to issue the hundred plates in ten Parts, each contain- 
 iiing ten plates, carefully coloured by hand, price 10s. 6rf.

 *^* A good introductory series of books on British Natural History for the 
 use of students and amateurs is still a desideratum. Those at present in use 
 have been too much compiled from antiquated sources ; while the figures, copied 
 in many instances from sources equally antiquated, are far from accurate, the 
 colouring of them having become degenerated through the adoption, for the 
 sake of cheapness, of mechanical processes. 
 
 The present series will be entirely the result of original research carried to its 
 most advanced point ; and the figm-cs, which will be chiefly engraved on steel, by 
 the artist most highly renowned in each department for his technical knowledge 
 of the subjects, will in all cases be drawn from actual specimens, and coloured 
 separately by hand.
