The personal possession of the greater part of the works mentioned has possibly prevented the compiler from falling into some of those errors incidental to a work of this kind, as it has afforded opportunities of verifying over and over again almost every entry. It may be as well to give here some general idea of the scope and arrangement of this book, though it is hoped that the various sections are sufficiently clear to need no guide. In Part I., which divides itself naturally into four sections, the titles of the first issues (and of later issues when the alterations are considerable) are given verbativi, limit of lines being shown by the mark /. A novelty has been introduced in the repetition of the /i X. same style of type as that used in the title-pages (upper and lower case, italics, capitals, ^c.) ; but though adding greatly to the trouble given to the printer (not to mention the compiler), it is doubtful whether the reader will consider this an advantage. The impossibility of employing type the size of that used in the original titles i)robably qualifies any advantage that might have resulted from this novelty. Particulars of the illustrations (when not given in the title-page) are added below, as well as particulars of binding, number printed, &c. Failing the general adoption by bibliographers of an accurate method of denoting size, sizes are given in conventional terms, preference being given to the publishers' own nomenclature. The collations, except in the case of works of an encyclopaedic character, are given with great fullness, and it is hoped with accuracy. Probably many of the works thus elucidated are not worthy of such full treatment, but it lias appeared better to err in that way than to lack uniformity. Besides, a book which at the moment may have no particular interest or value may, at a future date, acquire by accident either or both these qualities. The word idem is used only when the title-page is an exact transcript of that of the item immediately preceding ; ditto being used when another edition is denoted. Part II. is given in order to briefly chronicle Mr. Dobson's literary career. Part III. does not pretend to be complete. The number and variety of the periodicals to which Mr. Dobsun has contributed from 1S64 to tlie present time render XI. the search an ahnost never-ending one ; and though, no doubt, it could be done with "time and patience," it must be left for other hands to fill in the lacuna;. On Part IV. a great amount of labour has been bestowed, and it is hoped that this part may be of considerable value and interest. It will be noted that the information about each piece is placed beneath the title under which the piece first appeared., but entries of the later titles, with cross references to the original titles, make reference an easy matter to those who know a piece by its later title only. In the few cases in which it has been impossible to discover iha provenance of a piece, it has necessarily been entered under the title under which it is now known, but it is only right to warn the reader that a few such pieces may have appeared under other titles. In consulting the Indices, their scope and intent must be borne in mind, or the reader may be disappointed. It is hoped that the imperfections of this book will be found to consist more of omissions than commissions. No doubt many books are omitted ; but those included have been carefully described, and it can be said of them, as Mr. Dobson himslllf says of the works enumerated in his Bibliography of the Vicar of Wakefield, " nearly all the copies here included have been examined de visuJ'' In a bibliographical work the difficulty is to know when to stop. In the present work, many of the minutioe of description inserted in other bibliographies are conspicuous by their absence — such as imprints, headlines, xn. letterings of bindings, published (or market) prices, &c. These may be faults, and it is right that, if they are, blame should be given. But, on the other hand, a greater fullness in other directions may perchance balance the scale, and the critic is requested to bear this in mind before pouring out the full vials of his wrath. No one is more aware of the incom- pleteness of his labours than the writer ; and now that his work is finished, many possible improvements are visible. Should a second edition ever be called for, an opportunity will be afforded of making these improvements, as well as any necessary additions, and to this end corrections and additions will be thankfully received. In conclusion, it is a pleasure to thank those who have assisted in this compilation, viz., most of the publishers of the works mentioned ; Mr. C. M. Falconer, of Dundee, who has revised several proof-sheets; and particularly Colonel W. F. Prideaux, C.S.I., who has given the greatest assistance and encouragement, entering into the compiler's labour with an enthusiasm which has served to lighten it, and a kindness which has made it sweet. F. E. MURRAY. (Wr. Mmtin ©oBeon'ff (poefrg. * ♦■•'» /^■^HE publication in England of three hundred and fifty copies of the edition de luxe of i^v Mr. Dobson's poems, under the title o{ Poems on Several Occasions (2 vols., 1895), was the occasion of an interesting paper in The Bookman (February, 1896) on The Poet>y of Austin Dobson, by Mr. Davenport Adams; and the present seems a fitting opportunity for correcting certain errors in Mr. Davenport Adams' article, in order to avoid the perpetuation of error when the pages of The Bookman are searched, at any future day, for bibliographical information. It would be presumption in the present writer to correct one who, like Mr. Adams, is thoroughly acquainted with the poetical literature of the nineteenth century (his Comic Poets of the Nineteenth Century has long been one of the writer's closest companions), were he not by a special study of the subject qualified to speak, and had he not almost every volume to which Mr. Dobson has in any way contributed at hand for verifying his corrections. 'Written for a periodical, and now printed with slight alterations. XIV, Before touching on Mr. Adams' article, it may not be out of place to give, roughly, the relationship to one another of the various volumes of poetry from Mr. Dobson's pen, thus : — Collected Foems, 1897, contains nine more poems than Poems 071 Several Occasions^ 2 vols., 1895, which contains eleven more poems than rMj IT/ ij jj II .u ^ cjQ A { which are provided with titles at the end Old World Idylls, 9th ed., 1S89, and r.t 1 .. r u- j- • 1 j A4 ^u c- Jc^i T ^^u A 00 A or the latter tor binding m 2 vols, under At tAe Stm of t//e Lyre, othed., iS8q, ,, . * -^ -^ ^ y> y ti^g name of Foems on Several Occasions, 2 vols., London, 1889, which is the same in contents as the American collection, Foems on Several Occasions, 2 vols. (New York), 1889. Old IJo rid Idylls, 9th ed., 1889, is the same in contents as Old Ilorld Idylls, 1883, which contains two poems not in the corresponding American volume. Vignettes in Rhyme and other Verses (New York), 1880, which contains the bulk of the pieces in Froverbs in Forcelain, 1877, and Vignettes in Rhyme (London), 1873, At the Sign of the Lyre, 6th ed., i88g, contains twelve poems which are not in the first edition. XV. At the Si^^n of the Lyre., 18S5, which contains nineteen poems not in the corres- ponding American volume, At the Sign of the Lyre (New York), 1885, which contains the principal remaining pieces in the Proverbs (iSj-j) and the Vignettes (1873), not reprinted in Vig?iettes in Rhyme, 1880, together with an entirely fresh collection of more recent verses. Selected Poems, Leipzig, 1892, contains considerably less than the first named in this list. We commenced this comparison by saying " give, roughly, the relationship," because though the additional pieces are noted, it is unnecessary here to note the variations in the way oi omissions (all these points are dealt with in the following "Bibliography"). Now, then, to correct Mr. Adams' slight mistakes. He says, with reference to St. PauVs Magazine: "Up to and including that date [July, 1870], Mr. Dobson had in- variably signed 'A. D.' From that time upwards his name was given in full." That is true, except that "Andre le Chapelain," in December, 1873, is not signed at all. From the fact that it was only during Anthony Trollope's editorship (as Mr. Adams points out) that Mr. Dobson used his initials only, notwithstanding that in 1865 and 1866 he appended " Austin Dobson " to at least three pieces published in The Englishivoman^s Domestic Magazine (not since reprinted), may we not infer that this use of initials only was counselled by the editor? XVI. Mr. Adams quotes the rhythmical preface to Vii::;netfes in Rhyme, i873) adding, "which has not been reprinted." It was, however, reprinted in the second and third editions (1874 and 1875) at the end as " L'Envoi (to the First Edition)." Of the contents he says, "A Short Vacation" and "Love's Quest" "have not, I beheve, been re- pubHshed in volume form." But neither of these pieces appear in \\\q. first edition, though they are included in the second and third. The latter piece has since been restored in the Collected Poems. Of another poem in St. PauPs he says, "'Andre le Chapelain ' was reprinted in At the Sign of the Lyre f but it was previously reprinted in the two editions (1877 and 1878) o{ Prove >■ lis in Porcelain. Probably by a printer's error Mr. Adams is made to say, " The poems which appeared in the Vignettes for the first time in book-form were," &c. What he evidently meant was "The (7//z^?- poems," i.e., other than those which had appeared in .S7. PauPs. In the list of these others he gives the provenance of all except "A Revolutionary Relic," " Incognita," and " The Peacock on the Wall." The last-named we have ourselves not been able to trace to any other source, and conclude, therefore, that it was written for the Vignettes; but the oilier two appeared respectively in Tlic Englislnvoman^s Domestic Magazifie, November, 1866, and October, 1866, over the signature " H. A. U." And here it would not be perhaps out of place to remark that it was in this periodical, and the same year, that those admirable papers on Mademoiselle de Corday, &c. appeared, which were not reprinted till 1890, under the title Four Frenchwomen. xvn. Of the four poems which, as Mr. Adams then correctly says, have not been reprinted since their appearance in Vv^nettes in Rhyme, one, " A City Flower," has been restored in the Collected Foe?ns, with a note by the author to the effect that it was his first contribution (as far as he remembers) to a magazine. [In the Collected Poems are also restored the dedicatory lines "To Frederick Locker" of Proverbs in Porcelain (iS-j-j), though they are merely printed amongst the "Notes."] Mr. Adams adds : "A second edition of Vignettes appeared in England in 1874 ;" l^ut omits to say that a third appeared in 1875. Of the contents of Proverbs in Porcelain, Mr. Adams remarks that certain of the "Rose Leaves" "Mr. Dobson has not reproduced in his collected works"; but they appeared in the American Vignettes in Rhyme (New York), 1880, though not in its English counterpart, Old World Idylls, 1883. Of this latter volume Mr. Adams says, "The chief pieces new to book-form were," &c. : but in reality he mentions the only pieces which were new. Of "The Ballad of Imitation " he remarks, it "had also been first seen in a periodical" — the periodical was Belgravia, March, 1878. Mr. Adams need no longer grudge the Continental public their Selected Poems, because every piece in that volume is included in Collected Poems. The reference in the following words to the illustrated volume published in 1893 under the title Proverbs in Porcelain is rather misleading, as it would give one the idea that XVlll. it was a reprint of the whole of Proverbs in Porcelain, ^^11, whereas it really only contained the six " Proverbs in Porcelain " from that volume (or, as the author says, from Old World Idylls), together with tlie piece, " Au Revoir." Mr. Adams did not probably mean that to be understood, but this is what he says: "To an illustrated re-issue of the 'Proverbs in Porcelain' in 1893, the author added a Vignette — ' Au Revoir' — which has already figured in At the Sign of the Lyre." In speaking o^ the Poe/ns on Several Occasions, 1895, Mr. Adams ignores the fact that the 1S89 editions of Old World Idylls and At the Sign of the Lyre were practically the Poems on Several Occasiotis of New York, 1889, and that not only was one of them provided with titles to enable purchasers to bind them up under the general title if they wished, but the English publishers themselves issued some copies so bound and lettered. Of the 1895 volumes he remarks that they contain "ten or eleven hitherto uncollected pieces." The exact number is eleven, or twelve if you count the "Prologue" and "Epilogue" to Abbey's "Quiet Life" as two, which is probably the correct thing to do. Of the verses, ' " Sat est Scripsisse,' " which appear in these volumes, he remarks, "which have already been read in a London periodical." The periodical was The Yellow Book, vol. ii., 1894, but the lines had previously been printed in the Catalogue of Mr. Gosse's Library, 1893. These may seem trifling matters, but in bibliography the merest trifles are essential. ERRATA.

The former has never been in- cluded in any subsequent collection; the latter not until the issue of Collected Poems, 1897, in which it re-appears for the first time at p. 178. The " L' Envoi " to "Dorothy" was omitted in this edition, but again restored in Old World Idylls, 1883. .■\lso, the verses on the reverse of dedication of the first edition are here placed on the last page, while extracts from reviews are printed on the reverse of half-title.

Bound at end is a 32 pp. catalogue of the publishers' publications. Messrs. C. Kegan Paul & Co. took over the publishing business of Messrs. Henry S. King & Co. Contains some pieces not in first edition, viz., 'A Loyall Ballade of the Armada' 'A Quartet from Horace,' (' " O F'ons Bandusiae ! " ' ' " Vitas Hinnuleo," ' ' " Persicos Odi," ' ' " Tu ne Quaesieris," '), and 'The Ballad of Prose and Rhyme.' The piece entitled '"Old Clo,'" in first edition, is here called '"Premiers Amours,"' the title under which it first appeared in St. Paul's A/a^i;azi>te, Sept., 1873. The two pieces printed in first ed. under the title ' Emblemata Amoris ' are here entitled ' Emblems.' Of the Rondels and Rondeaus [so spelt in this book] in the first edition, ' "Too Plard it is to Sing'" is printed here as a prefatory poem, but has never been reprinted. ' " Vou Bid me •\. \ \ X Try"' is relegated to the notes, "on the ground" (to quote from an article by Mr. Davenport Adams in The Bookman — On the Poetry of Austin Dobson) "that it is an adaptation from the French, and a species of poetical 'exercise'." And in all subsequent collections it has occupied the same position, while ' "When Finis Comes,"' which in the first edition was printed at the end, is in this placed amongst the Rondels and Rondeaus. In Old World Idylls, and Poems on Several Occasions (Vol. i) it is again printed at the end, as an 'envoi,' but in Collected Poems, 1897, it is once more placed amongst the rondeaux under ' Essays in Old French Forms.' Another rondeau, ' " To You I Sing," ' has been made very familiar as the prefatory poem to every subsequent collection except the English and American At the Sii;n of the Lyre. Two of the " Rondels and Rondeaus"—' Change' and 'Fair' — which appeared in first edition as well as here, have never been reprinted. Three of the 'Rose Leaves' ('These are Leaves of my Rose,' ' " Amari Aliquid,'" and 'Old Loves'), and the "huitain," "Love's Farewell," which appeared here and in the first edition, have not been reprinted in later English collections, though they were reprinted in the American Vignettes in Rhyme (next described). This edition also has " Some notices of the first edition " on reverse of half title. The residue of this edition was destroyed by the great fire at the publishers'. (in.)

The contents of this volume differ from those of the American book with same title, though this would not be inferred from the author's reference to the two books in the notes to Collected Poems, 1897, where he says (page 511), " — in 1885 a second volume, entitled At the Sign of the Lyre, and mainly composed of later pieces, made its appearance, Ijoth at London and New York." In this there are the following 18 pieces, which are not in the New York edition : — The seven pieces, which were not reprinted in Old World Idylls, 1883, from Vignettes in Rhyme and other Verses, 1880, and which are enumerated under the former ((/. v.) ; Household Art ; A Fancy from Fontenclle ; Charles George Gor- don ; Victor Hugo ; The Maltwonn's Madrigal ; A New Song of the Spring Gardens ; Of his Mistress ; The Nameless Charm ; To Phidyle ; To a June Rose : To Daffodils.

In Collected Poems the author states that these two poems ^^evtjirst tepritited in Poems 011 Several Occasions, 1895, but he probably omits purposely any reference to this volume, as it was printed for Continental readers solely.

This is No. ; while the list of works by same author is omitted from reverse of half title. There are two peculiarities in the earliest issues of the first edition of this book which should be noted. In the first copies printed the sixth line of the introductory rondeau reads, ' The long day lengthens,' and the Beau's skirt in the plate facing page 18 has a bulging line. In the next copies the line reads, * Life's journey lengthens,' and the bulging line is still found. The last copies give the later reading of the sixth line, and the bulge is removed. The large paper copies are of the third issue, which ex- plodes a ' popular delusion ' that the ' large paper proofs ' are always the first copies struck off. As a matter of fact, the secrets of publishers' and printers' offices will generally reveal that they are the last ! The second and third editions are, of course, like the third issue. The alteration of the sixth line of the above rondeau is one among many examples 9f the fluctuation of Mr. Dobson's self- criticisms— for in his Collected Poems, 1897, where this rondeau is reprinted under the title, ' Leal Souvenir,' he restores the original reading of the line—' The long day lengthens.' Ditto, second edition, 1892, gilt edges. Idem, gilt top. Ditto, third edition, 1892, gilt edges'. Idem, gilt top. The last two editions are exact reprints of the first in its latest form, and the bindings of each style correspond with the bindings of the first edition. 15 (XI.)

This may be considered the author's final edition of his poems. In the preface he says, "This volume comprises all the verses written by me during the last thirty years which — in my opinion — seem worthy of preservation." It contains nine more pieces than the Poems on Several Occasions, 2 vols., 1895, viz., Love's Quest [reprinted for the first time from Vignettes in Rhyme (3rd ed.)]. The Collector to his Library, A Postscript to " Retaliation" (Samuel Johnson), A City Flower (this was the author's first contribution to a magazine, appearing in Temple Bar, Dec, 1864, and being re- printed in Vigftettes in Rhyme, 1873), ^^ ^"'^ "^^^ ^^'^^ '"^ ^^"g^ Dedication of " 77ie Story of Rosina" (which, of course, appeared previously in that volume). Prologue to Eighteenth Century Vignettes ( 'J hird Series), Epilogue to Eighteenth Century Vignettes ( Second Series) — which, besides appearing in that book, was printed previously in Longman's Alagazine, May, 1894, under the title, Apologia pro Scriptis Suis, Leal Souvenir (which appeared as the dedication to 7he Ballad of Beau Brocade). The 'Notes' are fuller than in previous volumes, and in several cases give interesting bibliographical and personal information, and with them are preserved the following verses : — Dedi- cation of Proveibs in Porcelain, " To Frederick Locker" ; The "Pocket Version" of " Persicos Odi " which was appended to that piece when it first appeared in the second edition of Proverbs in Porcelain ; the paraphrase of Voiture, " You hid me try, Blue-Eyes, to tvritc," which appeared in \\\it first edition of that book; and Verses to the late Lord De Tabley, commencing, "Still may the Muses foster thee, O P'riend," which Mr. Gosse reprinted in his Critical Kit-Cats, 1896. 20 "This collected edition— substantial yet excellently light, agreeable to the eye and touch, and appropriately 'Simplex munditiis' — ought greatly to enhance his popularity. Among living English poets Mr. Dobson holds an unobtrusive but uncontested place. In his own sphere he is without a rival. We quarrel over the merits of this poet and that, but Mr. Dobson's delicate talent commands the esteem of all who know literary craftsmanship when they see it. His work ma)' appeal more to some people than to others ; no one, perhaps, can share it to the full who does not share his love for the Eighteenth Century. But even those who take scant pleasure in it are forced to confess its polish and felicity of form, its unfailing humanity and refinement of spirit. Mr. Dobson would be the first to disclaim for a great deal of his work the august name of poetry. Much of it is only rhyming, but rhyming in its perfection." — Daily Chronicle. Ditto, second edition, 1897. Exact reprint of preceding. Ditto, third edition, 1898. There are two slight alterations in this edition : — (i) The advertisement on reverse of half-title is altered, and includes the new edition of ' William Hogarth ' ; (2) A French motto is printed on the reverse of dedicatory verses.

Collation: Title, printers' imprint on reverse, i leaf; dedication, reverse blank, i leaf; prefatory note, contents on reverse, i leaf; sub-title, verses on reverse, I leaf; the work, 104 leaves, reverse of last blank. The casual reader of the " prefatory note," which speaks of " reprinting these papers " and the revision needed from " lapse of time," would hardly imagine that the work is one of the 7vry earliest of Mr. Dobson's writings. Published in 7 /le Englislfwoiiian s Domestic Magazine'm 1866, it lay hidden in those almost forgotten pages, unknown perhaps to even his most ardent admirers, till 1890. That, after the lapse of a quarter of a centurj-, papers in a magazine can be reprinted, almost verbatim, and run through four or five editions, is surely a lesson to publishers of magazines to reprint the early contributions of authors who have since "made a name," rather than print the productions of new and unknown .luthors, 29 of doubtful genius. The first three papers, "Mademoiselle de Corday," "Madame Roland." and " The Princess de Lamballe," are, in the magazine, unsigned; the last one, "Madame de Genlis," is signed H. A. D. {Vide Englisli- ■woinan's Domestic Magazine, under the date 1866, in Part II.) " It is many months since we came across a book that gave us so much pleasure. . . . Everyone should read it ; but he should not lend it to his friends, for of a certainty he will not get it back again." — Athentputn. "These short biographical papers have a care and finish which often suggest comparison with Mr. Dobson's Villanelles. They are a sort of cameos from eighteenth century memoirs ; and no praise is much too good for them." — Speaker. . " Mr. Dobson here is like an exquisite nenrc painter, called upon to depict the darkest scenes of human tragedy. And the genre painter, it must be avowed, comes admirably out of the ordeal. The artist that is in Mr. Dobson shows himself quite equal to this ne7u [oh, ignorant Academician !] task." — Academy. Idem, large hand-made paper. 4to. Half vellum, paper label, edges untrimmed. Differs from small paper in following particulars : — (i.) Has prefixed one blank leaf, and one leaf with this notice — O'llv Fifty copies of this large-paper edition ^four french- women have been printed. This is N'o. — — Austin Dobson [autograph], reverse blank; (ii.) a half-title, with printers' imprint on reverse, i leaf; (iii.) a portrait of Corday; (iv.) "contents" is printed separately, on one leaf, reverse blank, leaving reverse of ' prefatory note ' blank. Besides these additions, title bears the words, " with a frontispiece," and reverse is blank ; the " signatures " are also different. Though dated 1890, the large paper edition was not really issued till 1891. Ditto, second edition, i8gi. Idem, another issue, zviih portrait of Corday. Ditto, "special paper edition," 1893, cr. 8vo, dark blue buckram, lettered on back, edges untrimmed. The last is uniform with Eighteenth Century Vignettes. This work was published in America by Messrs. Dodd, Mead & Co., and, I believe, the type was set there, and the English edition was printed from plates sent to England. This may account for the first edition differing somewhat in style from English books. The second edition has the alterations (ii. ) and (iv.) noted above in connection with the large paper issue. The half-title, or bastard title, 30 as it is termed by the older bibliographers, is not a feature of American books, and it is probable that in issuing tlie English edition the publishers did not at first notice its absence. The American editions are noted below : — [Ditto, lamo. AVith an etched portrait of Mile, de Corday. Dark blue cloth, gilt.] The " Giunta" series.

An extra leaf, with ' List of Illustrations,' follows the contents, re- verse blank.

In other respects, the collation is same as preceding, the page merely having a larger margin. [Idem, large paper.*] (VIII.) HORACE WALPOLE. 1890.

Note. — No large paper edition of this series was published. This volume, therefore, marks an epoch in the "large paper craze." The decadence of these cumbersome and useless specimens of book "manufacture" may be roughly dated from this time, though it had set in some little time previously. D 38 "There are some subjects which individual writers have made peculiarly their own. Mr. Austin Dobson and the belles lettres of the eighteenth century afi'ord a case in point. It is doubtful whether anyone now living knows more than Mr. Dobson of the 'teacup times' of Queen Anne and the heady potations of the three (ieorges, and it is quite certain that no one can write of them with more ease and charm. The Third Series of his ' Eighteenth Century Vignettes' is as delightful and as impeccable as its predecessors, which is to say a great deal in the way of praise. In some of those polished verses, which are growing so unfortunately rare from his pen, Mr. Dobson well indicates his method. . . . This modest aim is most refreshing after the big books of needless biography that ' clutter up ' our shelves ; when executed with so artistic a hand, it may fairly be said to have given us a work already classic." — World. " The characteristic ingredients of the papers are as good as ever — a little gossip, a little bibliography, a little research (just the tit-bits picked for us out of long-hidden labours), a little criticism, a few telling circumstances of the age, and all mixed plentifully with quiet humour. Arduous work was never given so delightfully frivolous an air. Mr. Dobson hides the pains of his learning and offers us the sweets." — Sketch. 39* (XIII.) MISCELLANIES. 1898.

This is one of those cases in which re-touching is akin to a crime, and it is fortunate that in reprinting this exquisite ballade Mr. Dobson has seen this and restored the original readings. The subject is perhaps of sufficient interest to warrant noting here these unfortunale "retouches": — The fourth line of the first stanza instead of Beggars that come from the over-seas is changed to Prodigals driven of destinies. And the second and third lines of the second stanza instead of Hearken awhile to the prayer of us, — - Beggars that come from the over-seas ! are changed to Beggars are we that pray thee thus, — Beggars outworn of miseries !

Mr. Saintsbury introduces it with these words — " Of this last charm- ing piece my friend, Mr. Austin Dobson, our sole heir and single of the poets of the early eighteenth century, has given an admirable translation." But the version given by Mr. Saintsbury is not so good as that which appeared in the first edition of ^/ the Sig>i of the Lyre, 1885, under the title, ' Of his Mistress,' and has been repeated in all later collections. A comparison of the two versions of the third verse exemplifies the remarkable manner in which Mr. Dobson polishes his verses before leaving them as a legacy to his country. The Saintsbury version would satisfy the most fastidious critic, but Mr. Dobson is his own most fastidious critic, and it did not satisfy him— the result is absolute perfection. Saintsbury version — " Her wit, her wisdom are direct from Heaven ; And many a tender touch explains How with the Graces what remains Has thriven." General version — " Her wit, her wisdom are direct from Heaven : But the sweet Graces from their store A thousand finer touches more Have given." Whether Mr. Saintsbury's version is copied from one which appeared in a magazine, or whether it represents one of those unfortunate "re-touches" of which other examples are noted in this Biblio- graphy, the compiler has not discovered.

I see no reason why they should not be as accept- able fifty years hence as they are to-day, but certainly fifty years is a long time ! " Mr. Locker's prophecy seems likely to be fulfilled, for already twenty of the fifty years have elapsed, and Mr, Dobson's poems are more popular than ever.

CoUaticn : One blank leaf; half-title, reverse blank, i leaf; title, quotations on reverse, i leaf; dedi- cation, 'To Austin Dobson,' reverse blank, i leaf; contents, i leaf; i blank leaf; the poems, 36 leaves. A curious feature in the collation of this book is that the first blank leaf and the half-title are not included in the pagination, while the second blank leaf is included ; thus pp. i. and ii. (un- numl)ered) form title ; iii. and iv. (un-numbered), dedication ; v. and vi. (the latter only nundjered), contents ; vii. and viii. (un-numbered) are blank, then the poems commence with pp. 9 and lO (Egyptian numerals — the latter only numbered). The signatures, too, are equally confusing, for the first blank leaf is marked a, counting 8 leaves brings us to A, which is at page 13 (that is, Xhejifth page of the work proper, not theyfr.?/ page, like most signatures are arranged), 2 leaves brings us to B, and from there we go on in eights. Mr. Dobson contributed the Dizain ("As, to the pipe, with rhythmic feet") at p. 57 (signed A. D.), this being its first appearance, the compiler believes. (L.) LANG'S XXXII. BALLADES. 1881.

The pages are un-numbered from i. to ix., then x. and xi. follow, then un-numbered till 15, then 16 to 112 — the latter figures being in Egyptian. Mr. Dobson's ' Dizain ' is at p. 84. Ditto, 1892.
