A MOKK on the literary impositions which have been perpetrated 
 upon tlic public, besides being replete with interest, would be pro- 
 ductive f>f considorable other atlvantage. It would furnish an impor- 
 tant subject of study in the great science of human nature, exhibiting 
 peculiar, cultivated specimens of criminality. 
 
 The secret history of the authorship of literary productions would 
 strip many a name of the reputation it enjoys, and place laurels on 
 the brow of many a man who 
 
 In life's low vale remote has pined alone, 
 
 Then dropped into the grave, unpitied and unknown ! 
 
 Eank and wealth have obtained nnmerited eminence in the literary 
 world, at the expense of the time and abilities of gifted dependents.

 Literary swindling is a crime that is very prevalent, because we 
 have no Government police to bring ofifenders to justice.

PREFACE. 
 
 This little work is the first of the kind, so far as we 
 know, that has ever been attempted in the English lan- 
 guage ; and such being the case, we crave the indulgence 
 of the public for our numerous shortcomings. In pub- 
 lishing it we felt the necessity of commencing some- 
 where. We might, without doubt, have spent twenty- 
 years in a similar compilation ; but even then it would 
 not have been perfect: — in fact, it is not in the 
 nature of a book like this to be made perfect. It 
 can, however, approach completeness by the aid of numer- 
 ous contributors. If, for example, each one who found a 
 name wanting, were to send an authentic note of it to 
 us, an immense amount of information would soon accu- 
 mulate, which we would undertake to embody in a sup- 
 plement devoted to additions and corrections, if the pre- 
 sent attempt should receive sufficient support. By 
 this means we trust we shall help to fill up the gap 
 which is at present a reproach to our nation. 
 
 The utility of a work of this kind, even though very 
 
X PRKFAfF. 
 
 imperfect, is at once sd a]^pavent that it is a matter of 
 considerable surprise surli a lilank sluniM liavc \)vvn left 
 in our literature. 
 
 Another work of a similar nature, hut larger and dille- 
 rent in scope to ours, which ^Ir. Halkett, of the Advo- 
 cates' Library, has been preparing for some fifteen years 
 ]iast will be a consideraljle addition to British Anonyms 
 and Pseudonyms. On the Continent numerous works 
 treating of the subject of assumed names of authors 
 have been published, and in fact the idea of nearly 
 every English work that treats of books and their 
 authors appears to have been taken from our foreign 
 brothers in literature. We are mdebted to Querard for 
 the idea and plan of this work. In the advertisement 
 to the second edition of his " Supercheries Litteraires 
 Devoilees," he observes tliat Germany first produced a 
 work on anonymous and pseudonymous authors ; then 
 Italy; then France, for the first time, in 1690, by 
 Adrien Baillet. Then Sweden, and lately Belgium, and 
 even Eussia. Now we wish to direct attention to 
 the remarkable fact that Querard was unable to name a 
 single English author as having treated of the suljject, 
 though in France it was treated of two centuries ago. 
 
 Our original intention was that this should be a hand- 
 book for popular use ; consequently, as a rule, we pre- 
 tend to no scientific detail. Those who desire such 
 must seek it elsewhere ; and yet we hope the erudite 
 l»ibliograph, though he may learn nothing from these 
 pages, will find much \\'herewit]i to refresh his memory. 
 One object we have endeavoured never to lose sight of, 
 — usefulness. 
 
PREFACE. Xi 
 
 Witli us tlic word Pseudonym has a very extended 
 signification, as these pages will sliow. Any word, or 
 name, or phrase, on a title-page is sufficient to make a 
 work pseudonymous. It is not considered anonymous 
 unless its title-page is hopelessly deficient of all personal 
 identification of" authorship. 
 
 We do not, for example, consider a work " By Tlie Author 
 of," &c., anonymous, as do Lowndes and his editor. This 
 example is also a good illustration of the labour we have 
 had to go through, and it will show that oin- handbook 
 is by no means a compilation from existuig manuals, for 
 the simple reason that these nearly always leave out the 
 very information it is our object to include. In Lowndes, 
 by Bohn, under " Sheker (Major Moyle)," we have 
 seven out of a list of nine works specially marked 
 " (anon)." Now, according to us, three of these works, at 
 least, are strictly pseudonymous, and consequently in- 
 cluded in our list. We could cite other instances from 
 any bibliotheca. 
 
 We have made an attempt to distinguish the various 
 kinds of pseudonyms by using certain technical terms 
 in italic letters after each pseudonym, A list of these 
 terms will be found in our " Notice of the Life and 
 Works of J.-j\r. Querard." The author of an " Essai 
 d'un Dictionnaire des Ouvrages Anonymes et Pseudo- 
 nymes publics en Belgique au XIX^ siecle " [J. Dele- 
 court] somewhat deprecates such an attempt as useless. 
 But we consider that, even supposing such to be the 
 case in one sense, it is exceedingly useful to the eye, by 
 at once separating the pseudonym from the real name ; 
 and it has a p(jsitive use; in certain cases, as, for instance, 
 
Xll PREFACE. 
 
 when a writer uses his naiac written backwards, which, 
 instead of being expressed by a phi*a.se, is at once ex- 
 pressed by a word. 
 
 The arrangement is strictly alphabetical according to 
 Authors' pseudonyms. When partaking of the nature 
 of a christian and a surname, the latter is chosen, though 
 lioth should be looked for if not found under one. If, in 
 the nature of a phrase, the first word after By, Of, or 
 From is chosen, and it is catalogued strictly according 
 to the alphabetical order of the letters, without regard 
 to the meaning of the words, no inversion such as : 
 Barrister (A) : Author of, &c. (The) : is used. 
 
 So much as is given of the title-page is given verbally 
 and literally, and an abbreviation is generally indicated 
 by ... or an etc. Information occurring between 
 brackets [ ] intimates that siich is not to be found in 
 the book ; between parenthesis ( ) that it is probably 
 in the book, though not on the title-page. An asterisk 
 occurring before a Title shows that the work was pub- 
 lished anonymously. When initials only are used, search 
 must be made under the first and not the last, unless 
 there is some addition to the last, as : J. R D . 
 
 The name of every author, if known, is given in full 
 in one part or another of the book. 
 
 AVe have not confined ourselves to English and 
 American pseudonyms : in fact, our plan is rather a 
 wide one, for we include Alexander Dumas and George 
 Sand : Boz, illustrated by Phiz : S. G. O. : The Times' 
 Bee-Mastek : Cham and * * * (The Abbe). 
 
 We could have doubled the size of this work by in- 
 serting the pseudonyms of authors whose real names are 
 
PREFACE. Xm 
 
 not known to us. This is, liowever, no part of our plan, 
 and when such are inserted it is generally for some 
 special purpose. 
 
 When no place of publication is given, London is to 
 be understood, and an author is generally of that coun- 
 try whence his works issue. So many American authors, 
 however, now have their works published in London, 
 that it is frequently a difficult matter to know on which 
 side of the Atlantic the author resides. 
 ■ We have to acknowledge the very great assistance we 
 have derived from the admirable Manuscript Catalogue 
 of the British Museum Library, in above two thousand 
 volumes, folio, compiled during the last twenty years, 
 under the direction of Antonio Panizzi, J. Winter Jones, 
 and Thomas Watts, Esquires. To George BuUen, Esquire, 
 and all those who attend to readers' wants, we owe our 
 best thanks. After these, we think we are most indebted 
 to the Athenccum, whose fearless exposure of any literary 
 fraud coming under its notice has justly been relentless. 
 But the want of a General Index has prevented us from 
 thoroughly using the materials it contains relative to 
 our subject. To Notes and Queries we of course owe 
 much, as must all future students, no matter what par- 
 ticular subject they pursue. And to several periodical 
 publications, all specially acknowledged.. 
 
 Mr. J. Eussell Smith has given us the fuU benefit of 
 his long experience in our progress through the press. To 
 many others, frequently the authors themselves, we are 
 indebted for some interesting little revelations. Much 
 has long been public property, though unavailable. 
 We trust that we have, to some extent, rendered it 
 available. 
 
XIV PREFACE. 
 
 American works are so I'recly scattered through these 
 pages, tliat we cannot conclude without one word on the 
 want of a Copyright Law between America and Enghmd. 
 llow long will two nations with pretensions to civiliza- 
 tion go on rol)l)ing (jnc anotlicr in thu most shameless 
 manner? An excellent article on tliis suhjcct by James 
 Parton, in the Atlantic Monthly for October, 1867, has 
 convinced us tliat in some instances we have been 
 rather too severe on American piratical reprints.

 A LINCOLNSHIRE GRAZIER, ijseiulo-titlonym [Rev. 
 Thomas Hartwell Horne]. 
 
 The circumstances under which this pseudonym was 
 employed, if they were not rather distressing, would be 
 highly amusing. The reverend gentleman, who afterwards 
 raised his name to such a high position in literature, was in 
 1805 in great distress, and glad to woi-k for the booksellers. 
 Having obtained an introduction to Ci'osby, the publisher, 
 upon the hard condition that he would give half his earnings 
 to his introducer, Horne was offered £50 for a work of 400 
 pages (!) on the Management of Grazing Farms, to be called 
 " The Complete Grazier." The bargain was struck, and in 
 nine months our barrister's clerk reduced the mass of mate- 
 rials set before him by the publisher, and they were ushered 
 into the world as by " A Lincolnshire Grazier," and the 
 hook -wsiS pushed throiujh several editions. The poor book- 
 sellers's hack was in want, but what excuse is thei-e for 
 Crosby, the then opulent publisher, of Paternoster Row, for 
 his share of this imposition ]

 In this " Diary of a Lover of Literature," on June 2nd,

 lai'ly struck with a sea-view by Turner ; fishing vessels com- 
 ing in, with a heavy swell, in api)rehension of a temi)est 
 gathering in the distance . . . The whole composition bold in 
 design, and masterly in execution. I am entii-ely unac- 
 quainted with the artist ; but if he proceeds as he has 
 begun, he cannot fail to become the first iu his department."

 The "Athenaeum " thought these were by three brothers. 
 They were always in fact taken for men, and in lettf^rs \ised 
 the masculine gender. Chai-lotte Bronte gives the following 
 account of the assumption of these pseudonyms : 
 
 "Averse to publicity, we veiled our own names under those of Cur- 
 rer, Ellis, and Acton Bell ; the ambiguous choice being dictated by a 
 sort of conscientious scruple of assuming Christian names positively 
 masculine, while ve did not declare ourselves women, because — with- 
 out at the time suspecting that our mode of v/riting and thinking 
 was not what is called 'feminine,' — we had a vague impression that 
 authoreses are liable to be looked on with prejudice." — Mrs. GaskeU's 
 Life of Bronte, 1858, p. 240. 
 
 Having written a letter in the masculine gender to Miss Martineau 
 the latter, in her reply, began "Dear Madam," but addressed it to 
 "Currer Bell, Esq."

 was therefore restrained from publishing his work in "The European

 A literary lioax was played oft' in the name of this celebrated Ame-

 to establish what we believe to have been fully establislied long since, 
 viz., that no matter how atrocious an effusion might be, the name of 
 a known poet appended to it, would render it true jioetry in the eyes 
 of a large majorit}^ of poetry readers. Having succeeded in deluding 
 his readei's, who, no doubt felt delighted with the amusing trick, 
 it afterwards came out that the ti'asliy verses were the editor's own.

 In this Burke imitated the stjde of "A late Noble Writer" so 
 closely, that Mallett, his executor, went to Dodsley's, the publisher's 
 shop, when full, and publicly disavowed it. Burke had also written 
 in 1749, some pieces in imitation and ridicule of Dr. Charles Lucas. 
 The "imitation" was so complete as to deceive the public. — Life by 
 Peter Burke. 
 
 Burke's "imitation," as it is mildly termed, of Lord 
 Boliiigl)roke was a cheat and fraud on the public, and is so 
 highly to be condemned, that any writer of tJie present 
 day who attempted a deceit of this kind, would deserve the 
 utmost censure. 
 
 BURNS (Robert), Poet. 
 
 Many readers will doubtless wonder why this name figures in our 
 list. It is not a pseudonym ! and surely Nature's Poet could not 
 have been ajjlagiarist, or impostor ! No. Bums was no impostor, but 
 he was himself deceived by an imposture, and as is generally tlie case, 
 for the sake of gain. We have it on the very excellent authority of 
 Mr. William (Jhappell, that the result of the deception practised upon 
 Burns and the Scottish pul)lic is, that whereas Burns intended to 
 write only to Scotch tunes, literally one half of his songs, were 
 written, and are still published to Enylish ov Irish airs —principally 
 to English.

 For much of the following brief notice of the impostures of this 
 
CHATERTTON. 31 
 
 unfortunate, mad genius, we are indebted to an article by our res- 
 pected friend, Mr. Frederick Lawrence, wlio lias kindly given us 
 permission to make such use of his articles in Sharpe's London Maga- 
 zine as suit our purpose. 
 
 "Cliatterton's7?)'6i' forgery, although of the nature of an innocent 
 hoax — a mere schooUioy's trick — is deserving of some little attention, 
 as illustrating in a striking manner, not merely his profound skill in 
 the art of deception, but his ready insight into luunan character, and 
 quick perception of individual weakness and peculiarities. A pew- 
 terer of Bristol, named Burgum, had taken some notice of him, and 
 whilst treating him as a mere boy, had encouraged a degree of inti- 
 macy which gave Chatterton an opportunity of practising ou his 
 credulitj^ He soon found that Burgum was a vain man, and just the 
 person to be tickled and inflated with the pj-ide of ancestry ; so he set to 
 work and deduced his pedigree from one of the companions of the Con- 
 queror. From documents which he pretended to have discovered in 
 the muniment room of the Church of St. Mary, Eedcliffe, he compiled 
 a history of the 'De Bergham ' family ; and furthermore produced a 
 poem, entitled 'the Romaimt of the Cnyghte,' written by one Jolin de 
 Bergham, who flourished in the 14th century. As Chatterton had 
 suspected, the worthy pe\\i;erer was too well pleased to permit him- 
 self to doubt the authenticity of the document which conferred on 
 him such an amount of ancestral dignity ; and thus auspiciously com- 
 menced the coui-se of Fraud which ended in the production of How- 
 ley." 
 
 Then came the forged account of the opening of an old bridge, 
 sent to the printer of Farley's Bristol Journal, introduced by a letter, 
 signed ' Dmihelmus Bristoliensis,' intimating that it was taken from 
 an old MS. 
 
 This again went down, and the game went on merrily : it was fol- 
 lowed by another. Chatterton was found out, and told a good round 
 lie to account for his possession of the jNLSS. 
 
 His next fraud was perpetrated at the expense of a Mr. Catcott, 
 who was then writing a history of Bristol, and for whose beneflt Chat- 
 terton manufactured an account of Bristol, by Turgot or Turgotus, 
 "translated by T. Pvowley, out of Saxon into English." 
 
 Chatterton emboldened by success, next wrote to Horace Wal- 
 pole, who, though at fir.st deceived, scon discovered the cheat, and 
 gave him kindly advice. "Too ca\itious and sensitive to become the 
 dupe of a lawyer's apprentice, he now drew back, and wrote the 
 yoimg enthusiast an edifying homily on the danger and disgrace of 
 forgeries, and urged him to stick to his business, and relinquish his 
 poetical aspirations." 
 
 Horace Walpole had just before been made the instrument of in- 
 troducing into the world the Macpherson forgeries. Chatterton, 
 instead of following it, was indignant at the advice given— advice 
 
32 CHR— CIVIS. 
 
 wliich certainly did not ccmie from one who liiniself bad acted on it ; 
 for, be it remembered, "The Castle of Otranto" was said in the pre- 
 face to have been discoA-ered "in the library of an ancient Catholic 
 familj- in the north of England, and printed at Naples, in lilack let- 
 ter, in the year 1;V29 !" 
 
 " Cliatterton took his revenge on Walpole, and expressed his resent- 
 ment in some spirited lines, which have been published in a recent 
 memoir. We select a few couplets as apropos to our remarks : 
 "Thou mayst call me cheat ; 
 
 Say didst thou never practice such deceit ? 
 
 Who wrote Otranto? — But I will not chide ; 
 
 Scorn I'll repay with scorn, and pride with pride ; 
 
 Still, Walpole, stiU thy prosy chapters write, 
 
 And twaddling letters to some fair indite ; 
 
 Laud all above thee, fawn and cringe to those 
 
 Who for thy fame were better friends than foes." 
 It is not our purpose to linger on Chatterton's ultimate \mfortu- 
 nate fate. That of literary forgers seems almost as sure and inevitable 
 as those of a commoner order, and thoiigh not visited upon them 
 physically by the law of the land, the punishment has hitherto been 
 unerring, and even more severe. 
 
 For the controversy which these forgeries excited, we must refer 
 our readers to the works mentioned in Lowndes by Bohn, and to the 
 article in Allibone's Dictionary of English Literature.

 CRUSOE (Roh'mson) Jictitlous name [Daniel Defoe]. 
 The Life and surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, 
 of York, Mai-iner. Written by himself. 1st edition, 1719. 
 Tlie most popular fiction in our language. 
 
 " It is remarkable tliat two of the most interesting tales that ever 
 were written, — 'Robinson Crusoe' and 'Uncle Tom's Cabin,'— are 
 ^vithout that which forms the chief source of interest in most other 
 tales — a love story. 
 
 "Ilobinson Crusoe" and "Gulliver," are two works which probably 
 will remain as long as the English language. One of them has even 
 mtroduccd a new word into our language; for UllijJutian is often used 
 to denote something excessively minute. And it is remarkable that 
 the authors of these works, Defoe and Dean Swift, who have never 
 been surpassed— perhaps never equalled — in any age or coimtry in 
 their own pecidiar art of giving to fiction the air of reahty, were con- 
 temporaries, and held each other in the gi-catest contempt and abhor- 
 rence. Their designs were difl'erent. "Gulliver" was, of course, 
 not expected to be believed, but affords part of its amusement from 
 the strildug contrast between the sober, matter-of-fact style of the 
 naiTative, and the monstrous extravagance of the matter ; as where 
 mention is made in his quiet way of the house in Eedriff, which 
 brought in a rent of £30 a year ; and of the little daughter Betsy, 
 who was sewing her sampler, and who afterwards married and had 
 children. 
 
 "Robinson Crusoe," on the contrary was originally put forth as a 
 true history (Defoe not beuig very scrupulous on that point) and long 
 after, and probably even down to the present time, was by many 
 considered as substantially true, and as being merely the history of 
 Alexander Selkii-k, on the Island of Juan Fernandez ; only a little 
 di-essed up, and with a change of names. It is possible that Defoe 
 may have heard that history, and that it may have suggested to him 
 the idea of his tale ; but if this be so, it is the very utmost that 
 coidd be said ; for the two histories are totally unlike, except that in 
 each there is an island in the South Sea, with goats upon it. Alex- 
 ander Selkirk had no tools, or stoi'cs, or ai'ms, saved from a wreck ; 
 he had no implements, save a pocket knife ; and used to capture the 
 goats, on whose ilesh he fed, by running them down. He never met 
 with any savages, nor had any friendly intercoiu'se with the Spaniards j 
 and there were only two remarkable incidents that occiu-rcd during 
 his sojoiu-n on the island, neither of which is found in the historv of 
 Robinson Crusoe. One was, his being pursued by a party of Spaniards 
 who had landed on the island, and from whom he lied for his life, 
 well knowing that their design was to murder him, as was the prac- 
 tice of the Spaniards with all strangei's found in those seas. He 
 escaped by climbing into a tree with thick foliage, where he lay hid- 
 den like King Chai'les in the oak. 
 
CRUSOE. 39 
 
 His other ailventure was catching hold of a goat. . . . Now both 
 these remarkable incidents being wanting in "Robinson Crnsoe," it is 
 plain that the notion above alluded to, of the one history bein" taken 
 from the other, is altogether gi-oimdless. 
 
 One part of the art by which Defoe gives his tale the air of reality, 
 consists in the frequently recording minute particulars and trifling 
 occurrences M-hich lead to no result. . . . Another apparent indica- 
 tion of reality is that such improbabilities as there are lie precisely in 
 the opposite quarter from that in which we shoiUd expect to find 
 them. A writer of fiction would have been likely (as we may sec 
 for instance, in some of the imitations of "Robinson Crusoe)" to attri- 
 bute to the hero more ingenuity and greater success than is accordant 
 with the rules of probability. With Robinson Crusoe it is just the 
 
 reverse 
 
 It would be a curious and not unprofitable task to draw u]) a cri - 
 ticism of Robinson Crusoe, showing that there are, in a talc which, 
 beyond all others, has been the oftenest mistaken for a true history, 
 such improbabilities as amoimt to complete disproof. Such a work 
 would be a kind of companion and supplement to the "Historic 
 doubts respecting Napoleon Bonaparte" [published anonj-mously by 
 Archbishop Whately] . . . His cidture of rice may be pronounced an 
 absolute impossibility. He threw out, it seems, before the entrance 
 of his habitation, among dust and husks, some unperceived grains of 
 barley and rice, which gi'ew and came to perfection, and enabled him 
 thenceforward, to cidtivate those crops. Now this is probable enough 
 as far as regards the barley ; but Defoe was probably ignorant that 
 rkc, when designed for human food, is divested of its husk by a pro 
 cess which destroys its power of germinating ; so that to sow rice in 
 the state in which it comes to market would be as vain as to sow 
 pearl-barley. . . . When Finday is pursued by three savages, and they 
 come to a creek, one of them turns back, as being unable to siuim . . 
 A Brazilian sea-coast savage, unable to swim, may be pronounced a 
 total impossibility. . . . When Robinson Crusoe coines forward to 
 rescue the Spaniards who are about to be slaughtered, he addresses 
 one of them in Spanish. . . . Alexander Selkirk, after only three 
 years, could scarcely express himself even in his own mother-tongue. 
 But the most wide-spread (if I may so speak) of the improbabili- 
 ties; though the one the most likely to be overlooked by the gene- 
 rality of readers, is the character ascribed to savages ... if we 
 examine attentively aU the accoimts that are given of savages by 
 those who have had actual intercourse with them, we shall inevitably 
 come to the conclusion that the representation of savages, as given by 
 Defoe, involves a complete moral impossibility. — Miscellamoxis Re- 
 mains of Archbishop Whately, to which the reader is referred for the 
 whole of this interesting discussion. 
 
 We greatly regret that want of space prevents our giving tlie whole 
 of the Archbishoi)'s essay, as we consider it conclusive.

 This romance, borrowed from the "Rev^ue Britanniqiie, " is said to 
 be superior to many productions of Dumas of the same kind. "John 
 Davy " is an English sailor, having a close relationship to Captain 
 Marryat's of the same name. In a somewhat prosy letter of Michael 
 Angelo Titmarsli [Thackeray] to the most noble Alexandre Dimias, 
 Marquis Davy de la Pailleterie, in Fraser's Magazine, for 1846, he 
 directly accuses him of having adopted it from the English.

 apres, ou le Vicomte de Bragelone, deuxieme suite des Trois 
 Mousquetaii'es, 6 vols [by the same]. 
 
 Dumas is said to have taken the idea of his almost interminable 
 novels from Richardson. Twenty-four volumes ! ^Vhen, however, 
 the ample margin is reduced, the tj^e decreased in size, and the blank 
 paper extracted, these 24 vols are reduced to something like reason- 
 able proportions. 
 
 As he acknowledged in his preface, Alexander Diunas, or rather, 
 Aug. Maquet, made free use of the "Memoirs d'Artaguan," capitaine- 
 lieutenant des Mousqnetaires, [written by Sandraz de Courtilz, 1702.] 
 He also gives the title of a MS. he found: — Memoires de M. le Comte 
 de la F^re, etc. — from which he had also drawn much matter. This 
 latter auuouucemeut induced a learned French bibliogi'aph to men- 
 tion "the Tliree Musqueteers" as a reprint of an old MS. The first- 
 meutioaed work exists, but the MS. is a creation of the fertile 
 novelist. 
 
 The great and deserved success of this romance, though in point of 
 morals it is not as unexceptionable as Monte Christo, drew attention 
 to an historical personage who had been totally neglected, viz. 
 Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known by the title of tlie "comte 
 d'Artagnan." 
 
 Le Comte de Monte Christo. 1844—5. 18 vols. 
 The first part, the Chateau d'lf, published separately, is written by 
 P. A. Fiorentino. Monte Christo, which is a sequel to it, is written by 
 
DUMAS— DUNDREARY. io 
 
 Aug. Maqiiet. Two episodes are said to be literally taken from Me- 
 moires, etc., de la Police de Paris, by J. Peuchet, 1837 — 8. They are 
 "Francois Picaud, histoire contemporaine," and " Madame de Var- 
 telle, on un crime de famille." The only alteration in the last being 
 in the title and names. "La Koue de fortune," of Auguste Amoiild 
 was made to contribute the completion of the history of "M. Morel." 
 And there are pi-obably other "conquests" of the same nature undis- 
 covered. Many pages are said to have been taken from the German. 
 
 Our readers are doubtless aware that this most successful and in- 
 teresting piece of manufacture, was dramatised by the author, and 
 occupied two nights in representation. 
 
 Innumerable are the tales of Dumas' method of allotting and sel- 
 ling his manufactures. He himself explains one : " Mr. Vdron 
 came to me and said, 'We are lost if we do not give in a week from 
 this, an amusing, brilliant, and sensational romance. . . . You want 
 a volume, that is G,000 Unes ; 6,000 Hues are 135 pages of my WTitiug. 
 Take this paper, niimber, and divide into paragraphs 135 pages. ..." 
 
 We have contented ourselves with the dates when these works were 
 first published. They have been reprinted in every imaginable form ; 
 and three different translations sometimes published in the same lan- 
 guage at one time. 
 
 The number of authors Avho claim or are said to have written for 
 Dumas is upwards of seventy. August Maquet alone furnished him 
 with twenty-four volumes : the Chevalier d'Harmental, Sylvandire, 
 the Guerre des Femmes, the Peine Margot, Chevalier de Maison — 
 Poiige, Memoires d'un Me'decin, those mentioned above, and others. 
 
 The new editions of ^Monte Christo, Twenty Yeai-s After, etc., have 
 the joint names of Dumas and Maquet on the title-page. 
 
 In 1845 he published sixty volumes, whereupon de Mirocourt (see 
 Dumas Pere, 1867) makes this calculation : 
 
 The most skilfiil copyist, writing 12 hours a day, can with diffi- 
 culty do 3,900 letters in an hour, which gives him at the end of a 
 day 46,800 letters, or 60 pages of a romance. Thus he could copy 
 five volimies octavo a month, and sixty a year, supposing that he 
 does not lose a second during the time. 
 
 For the facts above we are indebted to Qudrard and De Mirecourt. 
 Some interesting notes on Dumas will be foimd in our "notice of the 
 life and works of Quei-ard, 1867-"

 Nor can we omit, in concluding this notice of a most remarkable 
 book, some notice of the disputes as to its authorship. The news, 
 papers have been full of them. Mr. Anders, rector of Kirkby, writes 
 early in April of this year to assure the world that "the author of 
 Adam Bede is Mr. Liggins, of Nuntaton, Warwickshire, and the cha- 
 racters whom he paints in Scenes of Clerical Life, are as familiar there 
 as the twin spires of Coventry. " But just as we have satisfied our 
 minds that this is the true state of the case, and are feeling greatly 
 obliged to Mr. Anders, a ^vrathful letter from "George Eliot" dis- 
 turbs us; asking (not unreasonably) whether "the act of publishing 
 a book deprives a man of all claim to the courtesies usual amongst 
 gentlemen?" . . . Then some gentleman is "receiving subscriptions" 
 as the ill-used author of Adam Bede. Finally, the Messrs. Black- 
 wood, turning at last to throw a stone, declare that, "those works 
 are not written by Mr. Liggins, or by any one with a name like Lig- 
 gins." . . . Now upon all this we have only to remark, that we cor- 
 dially agree in the dictum of Mr. Eliot, that "the attempt to pry 
 into what is ob^dously meant to be withheld, — his name, — is quite 
 indefensible. — Edlnb. Rev., 1859.

 LITERARY BORROWING. 
 
 [To the Editor of the Athen^um.] 
 Ivy Cottage, Ballard's Laue, Finchley, .Jan. 1, 1867. 
 May I utter a complaint touching a Mr. Grenville Fletcher, late 
 editor of the Kentish Champion, Court Journal, Mirror of the World, 
 Hants Standard, &c. Looking, as I always do, in old bookshops, I 
 came across a volume, the otlier day, professing to be a third series of 
 "Parliamentary Portraits," by this gentleman. A very small piece 
 of silver secured for me possession of the prize. On taking it home 
 and examining it, I find page after page reprinted from my " Modern 
 Statesmen," without a single word of acknowledgment. Mr. Flet- 
 cher gives a sketch of Viscount Palmerston, almost entirely mine. 
 He devotes eight pages to Sir James Graham; and more than six of 
 them are mine. I wrote an article on Mr. Brand ; Mr. Fletcher 
 reprmts it, slightly altering it. Thus he commences: " It was dur- 
 ing the lull of an evening debate 1 once beheld Lord John Russell 
 carrying on a frientlly and good-natured conversation, on the Govern- 
 ment benches of the House of Commons. To see his lordship smile 
 is a very imusual circumstance, for he is mostly so excessively cold 
 in his manner — added to which there is a rigid demeanour about him 
 — as one would only expect to be evinced by a great man, knowing 
 that he is part and parcel of that wonderful machuie the British Con- 
 
FM— FOX. -51 
 
 stitution." I had written : " It was once my good fortune to heboid 
 Lord John Russell smile, and carry on a friendly conversation, on the 
 Government benches of the British House of Commons. Generally liis 
 lordship is cold and diguitied in his demeanour, as becomes a man who 
 is part and parcel of that wonderful machine the British Constitution." 
 In like manner Mr. Fletcher has helped himself to my Sketches 
 of Mr. Disraeli and Mr. Lindsay. This gifted work is dedicated 
 to Lord Llanover, and bears on the title page the respectable name of 
 Mr. James Ridgvvay, Piccadilly. Tn his Introduction the author ex. 
 presses his gratitude to the members of his own craft (the public 
 presa) for the truthful, generous, and impartial mode in which his por- 
 traits have been critically noticed." Siu-ely ^Ir. Fletcher might have 
 expressed his gi-atitude to, amongst others, yours, &c.

 This anonymous translator "violated the fidelity which he owed 
 to his author" by suppressing numerous passages, without taking the 
 slightest notice of such, and by altering other passages, aud in fact 
 "cooking it up" to serve the then prevalent French notions. A full 
 account will be found iu the Edinburgli Rev., 1810. Qu^rard in his 
 France Littdraire, quotes a passage which intimates that Napoleon 
 himself had a hand in the mutilation and suppression of the obnoxious 
 passages.

 "We believe he was not. It is most extraordinary that two persona

 that John Eichard Green died in 1818, five j'ears before his abridg-

 An imposture ou a grander scale was never conceived or executed ; 
 and perhaps we may add, with all respect to the learned celebrities 
 who were deceived by it, that dupes more easily satisfied, more cre- 
 dulous and unsuspecting, were never met with. It must be admitted 
 that a very opportune period was chosen for the imposition j and 
 taking into consideration the youth of the individual by whom it was 
 perpetrated, — that he had not at the time attained his twentieth year, 
 — it must also be confessed that it was carried out with considerable 
 cleverness and ingenuity. 
 
 Ireland was the sou of a gentleman who is known as the author of 
 several Picturesque Tours, and some iUustrations of Hogarth — a man 
 of considei'able taste, and an ardent admirer of Shakespeare. 
 
 He had been articled to an attorney, and having daily opi)ortmiitic3 
 of inspecting ancient deeds and writings, he seems to have occupied 
 his leisure, fu'st in deciphering, and afterwards in copying and imita- 
 ting them. Possessed of this dangerous talent, his father's reverence 
 for the great English dramatist, and his own ambition for distinction, 
 suggested to his mind the daring imposture by which he rendered him- 
 self remarkable. From an attentive examination of the authentic sig- 
 nature of Shakespeare, he soon learned to imitate the character of his 
 handwriting with facility ; and from time to time presented his 
 father with scraps of MS., to account for the possession of which he 
 invented a most romantic and improbable story. 
 
 For a long time Ireland made almost daily additions to his pre- 
 
62 IRELAND. 
 
 tended discoveries. Was it possible that his father had no suspicion 
 of tlicir origin, and was he entirely deceived by the monstrous asser- 
 tions of his clever but unpriucipled son ? The appearance of the MSS. 
 went far to prove their genuineness. A number of literary gentlemen 
 voluntarily subscribed tlieir names to a declaration of their authen- 
 ticity. It is further stated that Mr. Boswell, the biographer of 
 Johnson, previously to sigxiing his name, fell upon his knees, and in 
 a tone of enthusiasm and exultation thanked God he had lived to 
 witness the discovery, and exclaimed that he could now die in peace. 
 
 One of the ablest critics of the day, however, Mr. Malone, remained 
 unconvinced. 
 
 Believing himself possessed of a most invaluable treasure — in spite 
 of the protestations of his son, who dreaded and foresaw the exposure 
 of the fraud — Mr. Samuel Ireland determined on publishing the 
 "discoveries," and printed a large portion of them in a fine folio 
 volume, the title of which is given at the head of this article. 
 
 A very slight examination of this volume woiild, it has been thought 
 have shown the transparency of the fraud. 
 
 The most daring imposition, however, remains to be told. On the 
 2nd of April, 1796, the play of Vortigern and Rowena " from the pen 
 of Shakespeare," was announced for representation at Druiy Lane 
 Theatre. Public excitement was at its height. As the evening 
 approached, every avenue to the theatre was thronged with anxious 
 crowds, eager to obtain admission. Thousands, it is said, were turned 
 away. 
 
 The fraud, however, was very soon discovered, and an attempt that 
 was made to announce the play for repetition was wisely Avithdrawn, 
 the unanimous voice of the public having proclaimed the imposture. 
 This failure was a death-blow to the fraud. Gratified by the noto- 
 riety he had acquired, Ireland was induced to publish the following 
 full and free confession in "An Authentic Accoimt of the Shakespeare 
 Manuscripts." 
 
 "I solemnly declare, first, that my father was perfectly unacquainted 
 with the whole affair, believing the papers most firmly the produc- 
 tions of Shakespeare. Secondly, that I am myself both the author 
 and writer, and had no aid from any soul living, and that I should 
 never have gone so far, but that the world praised the papers so 
 much, and thereby flattered my vanity. Thirdly, that any publica- 
 tion which may appear tending to prove the MSS. genuine, or to con- 
 tradict what is here stated, is false ; this being the true account. 
 
 W. H. Ireland." 
 
 It must be confessed that circumstances seemed to warrant the 
 sixspicion that father and son were equally implicated, and even the 
 latter's solemn declaration to the contrary could not remove the im- 
 pression that had been made on the public mind. To the time of his 
 death, in 18.35, he carried with him the significant sobriquet of Shake- 
 speare Ireland.

 The above is chiefly abridged from the article by F. Lawrence in 
 Sharpe's London Magazine. 
 
 In Chalcographomania, whicli is said to be written by Ireland, 
 these observations are made. They almost seem to render his l)cing 
 its author doubtful.

 For liaving ap'd the muse's god. 
 To this latter the following note is added. 
 
 " It has frequently afforded me a matter of astonishment to think how 
 this literary fraud could have so long duped the world, and involved 
 in its deceptions vortex such personages as Parr, Wharton, and Sheri- 
 dan, not omitting Jemmy Boswell, of Johnsonian renown ; nor can I 
 even refrain from smiling whensoever the volumes of Malone and 
 Chalmers, together with the pamphlets of Boaden, Waldron, Wyatt, 
 and Philalethes, otherwise — Webb, Esq., chance to fall in my way."

 "Whether Dr. Jobson has been guilty of plagiarism is a difficult mat-

 ■\ve shall let our readers judge for themselves, by giving the accusa- 
 tion and answer from the Atheuasum, with no alteration but a correc- 
 tion of the paging, etc. 
 
 Supposing that there is no ground for acciising Dr. Jobson of 
 borrowing without acknowledgment, then this correspondence comes 
 in as part of our plan. It certainly is one of the most remarkable 
 instances of two writers expressing their ideas in similar words, 
 though at an interval of several years. 
 
 LITERARY LARCENY. 
 
 [To the Editor of the Athen(mim'\. 
 
 Hammersmith, Feb. 14, 1SC3. 
 Some four or five years ago I piiblisbed a little book of Travels 
 called 'Southern Lights and Shadows,' which — thanks to kindly 
 notices in your columns and elsewhere — was tolerably successful. 
 The work, however, was sadly abused in the Australian colonies, and, 
 for some reason or other which was never made apparent to me, gave 
 sore offence to the Methodists of New South Wales. The vohune has, 
 
JOBSON. 07 
 
 I think, run out of print, and is probably by this time forgotten. 
 Nevertheless, it has strangely been ilecrcctl that a leader of the body 
 who were most offended at it shall revive and per^jetuate its "ob- 
 noxious" pages. 
 
 Within the last day or two a " second edition " of a book entitled 
 'Australia; with Notes by the Way,' by Frederick J. Jobson, D.I)., 
 has come under my notice. I cannot exactly tell what led me to 
 look into its pages, unless fi-om a desire of seeing how a Methodist 
 divine would deal with a suViject which, under my treatment, had 
 proved so unpleasant to the Wesleyan community of Trans PaciHca. 
 Imagine my surprise when I found that, from the opening to the 
 close of Dr. Jobson's volume, the lea<liug paragi-aphs were stolen from 
 my 'Southern Lights and Shadows'! This is a serious 'charge to 
 bring Jigainst any authtir, and so specially serious when brought 
 against an author who carries D.D. at the end of his name, that I 
 feel bound to support it with direct and unmistakeable evidence. I 
 append, therefore, iu parallel columns, a few of the passages which 
 appeared in 'Southern Lights and Shadows ' in 1859, and which now 
 re-appear, with but the slightest and shallowest disguise (a disguise of 
 so transparent a character that, like the coa vestis, it only serves to 
 reveal what it afifects to hide), in 'Australia ; with Notes by the 
 Way,' in 1863 :

 As Dr. Jobson was writing three years after me, he, no doubt, con-

 "more;" but us the "five" was a misprint for three in my book, his 
 caution has only made the trap into which he has put his foot clip it 
 the closer. A similar maladroitness characterizes the reverend au - 
 thor's picking and stealing throughout. The reader will see it strik-

 ingly displayed in the next example, where the sentences arc so 
 unaltered in tliemselves, and yet so changed in their setiiience and 
 order, that, like the Iwy who steals the eggs in ' Parents and Guar- 
 diiins,' Dr. Jobson evidently tliiuks he has only to ahift position to 
 auniliilate identity. 
 
 [For brevity we here omit two long parallel passages]. 
 
 In the first-quoted plagiarism Dr. Jobson gave "crystal" for "silver" 
 — in the above he snp])lies "brittle pottery" for "crystal." My 
 "dogs" only are afflicted by the hot wind — Dr. Jobson blasts the 
 beasts of the field and the birds of the air. My "great-coat is but- 
 toned tightly around " me — Dr. Jobson's 'greatcoat" is only thought 
 " desirable." But this is accounted for, as with me the thermometer 
 "sinks fifty or sixty degrees," while with Dr. Jobson it "sinks 
 down" but "forty or fifty." My "compact wall," "Last Seal" and 
 '' Apocalypse," however, are taken bodily. It is scarcely worth while 
 pointing out the ludicrous errors which, in "dodging" my descrip- 
 tion about, Dr. Jobson has committed. The " brickfielder " is not the 
 Lot wind at all ; it is but another name for the cold wind or " sou- 
 therly-buster," which, folloics the hot lireeze, and which, blowing over 
 an extensive sweep of sand-hills, called the Brickfields, semicircling 
 Sydney, carries a thick cloud of dust (or "brickfielder") across the 
 city. How true is old Butler's remark that some plagiarists accom" 
 pany their robberies with murder to prevent detection !

 more than an arm's depth from

 might be seen. — P. 173. 
 
 This last example raises one's gorge. I close my book with an 
 attempt at a panorama of sea scenery, and, in the middle of a sentence, 
 are the words quoted in the left hand column above. Dr. Jobson, 
 after concluding his description of Sydney with these words, — "Only 
 let the churches of Christ send an adequate number of missionaries to 
 India, China, the multitude of the isles, and to the interior of Africa, 
 and these heathen regions shall assuredly be evangelized : these 
 realms of sin become the kingdom of our God and of his Christ !" (p. 
 174) — opens the next section of his Ijook with my fish ! If a whale 
 once appropriated a missionary, verily here is a missionary appro- 
 priating a shark ! 
 
 In closing, let me say that my only object in asking you to insert 
 this letter is to direct other writers on the subject to Dr. Jobson'a 
 book. If he has taken so miich from me, I have no doubt he has — 
 — to use an Aiistralian phrase — " jumped other claims" for the balance 
 of his nuggets. Frank Fowleb.

 In justice alike to me and to the public who have purchased, with- 
 in fourteen months nearly three editions of my volume on ' Australia, 
 wdth Notes by the Way,' I am sure you will give me space to reply 
 to a communication which appeared in your columns of February 21, 
 but which I did not see till nearly the end of last week. 
 
 As to any quarrel which your Correspondent has had with my 
 friends on the other side of the globe I know nothing at aU. Up to 
 the time when his letter was given in the A thenceum, I had not heard 
 of his 'Southern Lights and Shadows;' and as he states that the 
 book is out of print, I cannot hope to examine it [Dr. Jobson coidd 
 have seen it in the British Museum], else I should be curious to learn 
 how his "little book" on New South Wales only, could supply the 
 "leading paragraphs" " from the opening to the close" of my post- 
 octavo volume of nearly three hundred pages [only 112 pages relate 
 to Australia and Tasmania], and which treats, not only of all the 
 Australasian Colonies, but also of all the principal countries in the 
 way to them. I might also try to ascertain whether he has broken 
 up his own paragraphs, after the fashion of his dealiug with mine. 
 [The paragraphs seem to us fairly quoted.] Everyone knows how 
 easy it is by such a process to make things look alike, which are in

 tliuir own setting and original connexion sufficiently different. Not 
 tliat I am al>out to charge this writer with intentional nii.sreprcseiita-

 The fact is, that in my travels I did as cvcrylxnly else dtK33 : that 
 is, I vvi\A whatever cauw. in my way hcixring on the coimtries througli 
 which I w;is passing ; but I t<x>k care to note down my own observa- 
 tions and impressitnis ; and if, in doing so, some terms, ixjrfectly true 
 to my own views, tliough, j)ossiblj% they ha*l been employed by 
 others, adhered to my memory, and found their way into my manu- 
 script, no reader of books of travel could feel surprise. In the several 
 colonies of Australia, as in other parts of the world (as often as I 
 could do so), I availed myself of the judgment of intelligent friends, 
 who had the advantage of longer residence, with a view to secure

 peculiar circumstances which, for explanation and proof, rest upon

 of the written suggestions of others. And had the complainant com-

 have been supplied to him evidence fully to accoimt for the apjjareut

 has not done so ; and as I do not choose to leave the case, as it really 
 is, to depend upon my own single assertion, I have submittetl it, with 
 all the papers in question, to gentlemen whose public chai-acter and 
 intellectual comjieteiicy are above suspicion. They all have author-

 The following, from the Athenaeum, requires no expla- 
 nation from us : — 
 
 THE MANUFACTURE OF NOVELS. 
 
 The literary people of New York are wrangling over a matter which, 
 like many causes of dispute, derives importance from the ingenuity 
 and warmth of the discussion which it provokes. Amongst other 
 points that await judgment, the squabble has raised a question con- 
 cerning an EngUsh novelist who would act prudently in publishing 
 without delay her part in tlie transactions that have raised a Grub 
 Street tempest on the other side of the Atlantic. At this present 
 time the proprietors of the New York Sunday Mercury are publishing 
 in their paper a novel, entitled ' Nobody's Daughter ; or, the Ballad 
 Singer of Wapping,' which they announce in highly sensational ad- 
 vertisements as an original work from the pen of Miss Braddon, of 
 whom they observe, with characteristic magniloquence and capitals : — 
 " Tivo Worlds have indorsed Miss E. Braddon as a novelist of trans- 
 cendent power, — the Old World and the New. The English reviews 
 have carped at her works — probably because they had not soul 
 enough to appreciate them ; but the very magazines in which their 
 petti fogging criticisms are published have since found it to their in- 
 terest to beg for stories from her pen, paying her such price therefor 
 as she thought fit to demand, and she queens it to-day in the depart- 
 ment of Sensational Romance wherever the English language is 
 spoken." Whilst they thus proclaim Miss Braddon' s royal status, 
 these same masters of sensational advertisement speak tall words 
 about their own merits, stating very distinctly that they are citizens 
 of whom the Union has reason to be prpud, and that their Sunday 
 Mercury is " the newspaper that occiqy'ies the throne of Sunday journal- 
 ism." Next to personal possession of a throne, the sole and unlimited 
 possession of that which occui)ies a throne may be regarded as the 
 highest object of mere worldly ambition ; and we congratulate their 
 Majesties one-degree removed of the New York Sunday Mercury on 
 their tenure of royal rank, — although their throne is nothing more 
 splendid than the editorial chair of a Sunday newspaper. Nor do we 
 warmly censure the enthusiasm, though we may question the judg- 
 ment which they display in fighting for Miss Braddon's crown. Since 
 
LASCELLES. 75 
 
 they have "soul enough" to admire her novels, by all means let them 
 put to shame those English reviews " wliioh carped at her works, 
 probably because they had not soul enough to appreciate them." But 
 if upon inquiry it should be ascertained either tliat they have been 
 induced to regard as Miss Braddon's work a story of which she never 
 wrote a line, or that they have conspired to hoax the public for their 
 own private advantage, what will be thought of these several occu- 
 pants of thrones ? 
 
 On one side it is asserted that in assigning ' Nobody's daughter ' to 
 Miss Braddon, the proprietors of the Sunday Jfcrcuri/ are only endea- 
 vouring to draw attention to their paper by an impudent fabrication ; 
 and those who take this view of the case argue thus: — 'Nobody's 
 Daughter' is merely a reprint, under a new title, of 'Diavola,' a 
 story that is now being published in the London Journal, by the au- 
 thor of ' The Black Band.' So far, a London reader can safely follow 
 the New York disputant ; for the current number of the London 
 Journal (¥eh 16, 18G7,) contains chaps. 37 — 39 of the story called 
 ' Diavola,' by the author of ' The Black Band. ' 
 
 It seems clear, therefore, either that Miss Braddon is the author 
 of 'The Black Band,' or that she is not the writer of 'Nobody's 
 Daughter.' Which of these two ? Against the first supposition the 
 New York Critics bring forward the following evidence. They say 
 that in the summer of last year, when 'The Black Band,' which 
 originally appeared in the London Journal, was republished in New 
 York by Messrs. Hilton & Co., under the new name of 'What is 
 this Mystery?' Miss Braddon indigmantly denied the authorship of 
 the story, and protested against the conduct of the publishers wlio 
 advertised the book as a production of her pen. How then, it is 
 urged, can Miss Braddon, who has explicitly disclaimed the author- 
 ship of 'The Black Baud,' be the writer of 'Nobody's Daughter,' 
 alki.'i 'Diavola,' which is announced in the London Journal as written 
 by the author of ' The Black Baud ?' 
 
 On the other side, the occupants of " the throne of Simday Jour- 
 nalism " reiterate their assertion that ' Nobody's Daughter ' is from 
 Miss Braddon's pen, and that they paid the lady a "mimificent price" 
 for early sheets of the work, together with permission to publish it 
 under a new title. They denounce aU jom-nals that venture to ex- 
 press incredulity of their statements, as "concerns on their last legs, 
 and destitute alike of brains and principle." Moreover, a gentleman 
 acting for the proprietors has exhibited, in New York, papers tliat 
 are represented to be Miss Braddon's receipts for two sums of £75. 
 each, instalments of the sum of £250., which was the munificent price 
 Bpoken of in the advertisements of the work. This same person has 
 also exhibited letters which he says were written to the proprietors 
 of the Sunday Mercury respecting the early sheets of ' Diavola,' by 
 Mr. Maxwell, of London. If we felt ourselves justified in accepting 
 
76 LASCELLES. 
 
 the statements thus p\it fortli by the proprietors of the Sunday Mer- 
 cur;/ as unciucstionaMy true, wc slioiihl regard them as settling the 
 question resiKJcting the authorship of 'The Black Band' and ' Dia- 
 vola.' But the gentlemen who act for the throne of Sunday journal- 
 ism use language with sucli singular freedom that we hesitate to put 
 unqualiHed reliance on their assurances. A certain measure of dis- 
 trust is surely due to men who have the astounding impudence to 
 say that the English re\'iews which criticized Miss Braddon with 
 severity have been glad to make friendly overtures to her, and buy 
 her tales at her own price ! 
 
 With respect to Miss Braddon our counsel is that she should lose 
 no time in giving her explanation of facts that may be unfairly used 
 to her disadvantage. 
 
 Tremadoc, Feb. 26, 1867. 
 As Miss Braddon does not seem inclined to " give her explaoations '* 
 as to whether she is or not the author of 'The Black Band" ('Dia- 
 vola, I believe, is not denied), but is content that Lady Caroline Las- 
 celles (whoever she may be) should have the credit of it, I think, on 
 looking at the facts, there will be no difficulty in setting this vexed 
 question at rest. It appears that ' The Black Band ' originally ap- 
 peared in the Halfpenny Journal, the proprietor of that journal 
 being Mr. Maxwell. ' Diavola ' is now being published in the Lon- 
 don Journal, &% hy the avxthor of 'The Black Band," early sheets of 
 which Mr. Maxwell negotiated for sale in America. Finally, Mr. 
 Maxwell is the proprietor of Bclgravla, edited by Miss Braddon . . . 
 Surely in the interests of literature it behoves Mr. Maxwell that he 
 should lose no time in giving his explanation of this scandal, which 
 may be used to Miss Braddon's disadvantage. Hugh Morgan. 
 
 Concerning "The Black Band Scandal," Mr. Jolin Maxwell — in a 
 letter published in last week's Athe)i(vuni [March 11] — makes some 
 strange admissions, though he seems to be under the impression that 
 he reveals nothing of importance. The proprietor of the Hal/penny 
 Journal, and the confidential agent who negotiated between Miss 
 Braddon and the New York Sunday Mercury, Mr. Maxwell writes, 
 " If the 'interests of literature' were in any way involved in my re- 
 vealing ivho sugyested, who planned, and who tvrote the romance of 
 'The Black Band and other serials under the name non de jdume 
 which appeared in the Halfpenny Journal, I should be happy to 
 name tlie authors, as soon as I had obtained their permission, and 
 could apportion the shares of merit to lohich their respective ingenuity 
 and industry entitle them ; but as the ' interests of literature' do not 
 appear to me to be, in the slightest degree, affected, I shall not take 
 any trouble to destroy the anonymous reserve under which these 
 tales were written." Here is an instructive peep into a factory 
 
LASCELLES. 77 
 
 of novels for the halfpenny press, the showman of the sight being 
 himself the master of the mill. The operatives of the workshop are 
 duly classified as suggesters, planners, writers ; and it appears that, 
 though the novels thus turned out are the patchwork of many 
 " hands," the watchful director of the factory could, if it pleased him 
 to do so, " apportion the shares of merit to which their respective in- 
 genuity and industry entitle them." With discreet reticence, that 
 stands in strong contrast against the indiscretion of his frankness, 
 Mr. Maxwell says nothing about his plans for distributing the goods 
 made in his factory. He does not tell us how it came to pass that 
 one of the novels thus manufactured was called ' The Black Band' in 
 England, and ' What is this Mystery ?' in America ; how it came to 
 be falsely attributed to Lady Caroline Lascelles in this country, and 
 (Miss Braddon's denial of its authorship being our evidence) no less 
 falsely attributed to Miss Braddon on the other side of the Atlantic ; 
 how ' Diavola' came to be attributed to " the author of ' The Black 
 Band' " in the London Journal, whereas early sheets of the tale ap- 
 pear to have been sold through Mr. Maxwell's agency in New York 
 as early sheets of a new tale by Miss Braddon ; and how it comes 
 that the proprietors of the New York Sunday Mercury can exhibit 
 papers that purport to be Miss Braddon's receipts for money paid to 
 her for early sheets of this novel by the author of ' The Black Band,' 
 though she has indignantly repudiated the authorship of ' What is 
 this Mystery ?' alias ' The Black Band.' All these and otlier like 
 matters are mysteries, and we are content that they 'should remain 
 so. We concur with Mr. Maxwell in thinking tliat the interests of 
 literature do not require him to publish the names of all the suggest- 
 ers, planners, writers, and other journeymen who ply their craft in 
 bis factory. He has told everything that persons immediately con- 
 cerned in the interests of literature can need or care to know about 
 the matter. 
 
 March 14, 1867. 
 I have this day received a copy of a New York paper, the Sunday 
 Mercury, dated February 27, in which are three or four chapters of a 
 serial tale, entitled 'Nobody's Daughter ; or the Ballad Singer of 
 Wapping," by Miss M. E. Braddon, together with an abstract of 
 published chapters ; and as these are identical with the the talc now 
 pubHshing in the London Journal, under the title of ' Diavolo,' by 
 the author of ' The Black Band, ' I think with Mr. Alorgan, there can 
 be no difficidty in identifying under the noni de lAume of Lady 
 Caroline LasceUes the Miss Braddon of Belgravia. M. B. 
 
 4, Shoe Lane, Fleet Street, March IS, 1867. 
 It is sometimes easy and sometimes difficult to raise a temiKJSt in 
 a tea-pot ; and, it appears to me, that under the title of " Manufac- 
 
78 LASCELLES. 
 
 ture of Novels," you arc trying to solve the difflculty. In last Satur- 
 day's A t kfUfrii )n yo\i ask " how it comes that the proprietors of the 
 New York Sunda;/ Mcrcuri/ can exhihit papers that purport to he 
 Miss 15ra(l(loii's receipts for money paid to her for early sheets of this 
 novel (' Diavolo')" by the author of 'The Black Band'? Allow me 
 to say that the proprietors of the New York Sundity Mercury do not 
 exhihit any paper whatever puqiorting to be Miss Braddon's receipt, 
 although they can exhil^it mine, and that most honourably too, for 
 they liave honestly paid to me the amounts for which I have given 
 them receipts ; and, I regret to add, they have not always been left 
 in peaceful possession of their advance-sheets by rival American 
 pultlishers, wlio live on the iiolicy of stealing as much literature as 
 they can, reckless of all considerations beyond their own expecta- 
 tions of gain. As illustrating this latter class of sharp practitioners, 
 it is necessary to recall Messrs. Hilton and Co., of New York. These 
 people announce 'What is this Mystery?' as reprinted from Miss 
 Braddon's advance-sheets, when it was reprinted from nothing of the 
 kind ; and they advertise the work as being Miss Braddon's " latest 
 and best," when they well know' it is neither the one nor the other. 
 Against this Miss Braddon protested. Had she no right to do so? 
 Was everjiihing quite as it should be on the part of Messrs. Hilton 
 and Co. ? And was Miss Braddon altogether wrong in intimating 
 that she knew nothing whatever about Messrs. Hilton and Co.'s 
 enterprise beyond their advertisement ; she never had, directly or 
 indirectly, the smallest approach to a communication from or with 
 them ? If you think Miss Braddon in the wrong, and Messrs. Hilton 
 and Co. in the right in this transaction, let it be so ; others may differ 
 from you. 
 
 Another point— the "inconvenience to readers, and perplexity, if 
 not substantial loss, to 'the trade,'" as the result of republication. 
 Of course, if no republication has happened, no inconvenience to 
 readers, and no perplexity and loss to " the trade" can arise. Now 
 this is precisely the case with the tales assumed to be by the author 
 of 'The Black Band' — a series which I hope will one day challenge 
 criticism as romances of strong and popular interest, quite as worthy 
 of repiiblication as any of the tales reproduced from halfpenny and 
 penny journals by Messrs. Hurst and Blackett, and by other equally 
 well-esteemed novel -publishers. Althoixgh these tales are not re- 
 printed, you use against them the word "convicted," and you apjjly 
 that term to them in common with "the system" of Mrs. Wood and 
 Mr. Wills, both of whom admit, and rather defend, the republication 
 of reprints with emendations. Is this fair on your part ? You are 
 wholly unsustained in the use of the word, and its application is alike 
 imnecessary and uncalled for. 
 
 Next as to the nam de plume of Lady Caroline Lascelles. This 
 title was suggested by my late literary colleague, who was also at the 
 
LASCELLES. 79 
 
 time a writer in the Athenceum, poor Sir C. E. LasccUea Wraxall, 
 Bart. He claimed a family right in the names. For five weeks the 
 non dc plume was adopted. At the end of that time it was discarded, 
 as it was foxmd that "fine words butter no parsnips ;" and the tale 
 of "The Black Band" was thenceforth publislied anonymously, and 
 its publication, and that of the series of tales which succeeded, 
 went on uninterruptedly for years. In all this, what deduction is to 
 be drawn ? simply that a series of tales have been written for the 
 cheap periodical press so very attractive as to occasion their reprint 
 in America, and so very profitable as to induce both literary pirates 
 and purchasers of advance-sheets to make the most of their adven- 
 tures. Surely in this there is little to excite acrimonious controversy.

 ENGLISH AUTHORS IN AMERICA. 
 
 128, Nassau Street, New York, April 25, 1867. 
 
 Our attention having been called to a communication in your 
 issue of March 23, wherein one "John Maxwell" has been pleased to 
 stigmatize us as " sharp practitioners," as well as to bestow iipon us 
 other not very complimentary epithets, in relation to the manner in 
 which the immaculate trader in Miss Braddon's productions conceives 
 we have maltreated that lady's reputation, we deem it mcumbent 
 upon us to ask your indulgence in placing the true facts of the case 
 before your readers, inasmuch as your correspondent has managed 
 adroitly to dodge the real offence attempted to be fastened upon us in 
 our business capacity. 
 
 We do not pretend to justify our custom of the American trade in 
 appropriating Transatlantic literature without rendering some recom- 
 pence to the original autliors. Still, in the absence of an international 
 copyright, publishers are not inclined to court extra risks, as they 
 cannot be protected against ruinous competition in any enterprise 
 undertaken on a basis of remuneration. It may suit the purpose of 
 a newspaper with a stable circulation to secure the advance sheets 
 of a story from the pen of a popular English writer, but in the matter 
 of a cheap publication of a completed romance, there can be no gua- 
 rantee against its reproduction by a competing house, possibly from a 
 copy secured at a rational cost within a few days after its emission. 
 
 In our series of cheap publications, we saw fit to reprint, under 
 the title of 'What is this Mystery?' a romance originally published 
 in London as ' The Black Band.' A similar designation had been 
 bestowed upon a local romance, written in this city some years back, 
 and of which we hold the copyright. To prevent confusion, we took 
 the liberty of changing the title of Miss Braddon's work, but afiBxed 
 
80 LASCELLES. 
 
 licr own proper name to maintain identity as to authorship. Ahnoat 
 instantly, we were assailctl hy the city journals, and charged with 
 having imposed upon the reading public, tiirough palming off, as a 
 work of Miss Braddons, the production of some obscure novelist. 
 The lady herself, or some person representing her interests, thought 
 proper to encourage presumption of fraud until this period, when the 
 Sinulaij Mercury advertising imder precisely similar circumstances, 
 ' Diavola,' avowedly from the same source as ' The Black Band,' Miss 
 Braddon hastens to the rescue of its editors, and reluctantly acknow- 
 ledges authorship of both romances, the latter one of which Mr. Max- 
 well contends to have been " honourably " obtained through purchase 
 of so-called "advance sheets;" whereas our offence appears to have 
 consisted in the fact of reprinting, without her express sanction, from 
 a Loudon publication, a work for which the London publisher had, as 
 we presume, paid its market value. Assuredly, if any party be en- 
 titled to recompense for ' ' advance sheets,' it should be the individual 
 purchasing Miss Braddon's literary wares, and seeking repayment 
 through their pubhcatiou. Besides, we are frauk enough to consider 
 it as a poor compliment to the manager of a pei-ioiical, investing in 
 goods of that nature, to suggest that the " latest " published produc- 
 tions of any author are not the "best," especially when a multiplicity 
 of similar commodities are in the field. We regret that Miss Brad- 
 don or her friend should be compelled to protest against our critical 
 judgment as to the work reprinted by us being her " latest and best ;" 
 but must extenuate our interested opinion on the ground that a decla- 
 ration to the contrary might prove detrimental to the reputation of 
 the fair authoress, and decidedly inimical to her future chances of 
 disi)osing of "advance sheets." Hilton & Co. 
 
 4, Shoe Lane, Fleet Street, May 11, 1867. 
 To judge from the tone of their letter in this day's AtJiencenm, 
 Messrs. Hilton & Co. appear to think that, by adding insult to injury, 
 they can extenuate their conduct and cast aside the opprobrium 
 which their dishonesty should entail. They do not attempt to deny 
 the charges made against them, which may be briefly stated as fol- 
 lows : — 
 
 1. That they appropriated a tale, changed its name, and announced 
 it as reprinted from the author's "advance sheets," when they well 
 knew the reprint was from nothing of the kind, and that, in fact, 
 they never had, either directly or indirectly, the slightest communi- 
 cation from or with the author or the publisher of the tale they so 
 "smartly " laid their hands upon. 
 
 2. That they described this tale as Miss Braddon's "latest and 
 best," when they well knew it was neither latest nor best ; and that, 
 beyond their own audacity, they had no justification for ascribing 
 the authorship to Miss Braddon. 
 
LASCELLES— LAUDER. 81 
 
 For their owu purposes Messrs. Hilton & Co. did all this ; and as 
 they advertised the tale to have achieved a sale of 18,000 copies with- 
 in a week of puhlicatiou, Messrs. Hilton & Co. might have been con- 
 tent with the gains of the operation. No one here expected anything 
 froin them. Instead, however, of being satisfied with the fruits of 
 their rapacitj^, Messrs. Hilton & Co. have thought fit to turn round 
 upon Miss Braddon, whose name they most unfairly used for their 
 own dishonest purpose, and now they try their best to insult her bj^ 
 declaring "assuredly, if any party be entitled to recompense for 
 ' advaace sheets,' it should be the individual purchasing Miss Brad- 
 don's literaiy wares, and seeking repayment through their publica- 
 tion." The sheer insolence of this declaration transcen<ls the old 
 story of the attorney who had no defence to an action, and therefore 
 instructed counsel — "No case; abuse plaintiff's witnesses." In 
 England the value of Miss Bi'addon's literary wares is well under- 
 stood; and in America the importance of her "advance sheets" 
 commands an adequate recompense, a circumstance with which the 
 "business capacity" of Messrs. Hilton & Co. cannot make them 
 acquainted. I refrain from noticing the other statements in Messrs. 
 Hilton & Co.'s letter, because they are, so far as the matter in issue 
 is concerned, simply untrue. John Maxwell.

 The manufacture of Novels now occupies so many

 LAUDER (William) literary-forcier. 
 
 "Mr. Isaac D'Israeli, iu his 'Curiosities of Literature,' has re- 
 marked that some of the most sinister literary forgeries in moderu 
 times have been perpetrated by Scotchmen, and he instances Lauder 
 
 O

 and Bower — two of the blackest sheep of the world of letters. The 
 disgr.occful fraud of which the former stands convicted, so unparal- 
 IcU'd for its meanness, baseness, and dishonesty, has justly condemned 
 him to eternal infamy, .and rendered his name a by-word of contempt. 
 To the credit of Englisli literature, it did not indeed long remain 
 undiscovered, and it m.aj' at least be said to have had one beneficial 
 result — that of placing the unw.ary on their guard ag.ainst an un- 
 scrupulous disputant, and of demonstrating the importance and 
 necessity of occasionally verifying a quotation and testing a doubtful 
 assertion. 
 
 "In 1747 he commenced his attack on the repiitation of Milton in 
 various communicatious to the 'Gentleman's M.agazine,' in which the 
 great poet was denounced as an unprincipled plagiarist. 
 
 These jjapers having led to some controversy, and excited some 
 attention, Lauder was induced to collect them, and in 1750 he repub- 
 lished them in a volume, entitled 'An Essay on Milton's Use and 
 Abuse of the Moderns in his Paradise Lost ;' with the motto taken 
 from ^lilton, "Things unattemjited yet in prose or rhyme." The 
 work is preceeded by a characteristic advertisement from Lauder, 
 wliich states that "Gentlemen who are desirous of securing their 
 children from ill example, or are themselves disposed to gain or re- 
 trieve the knowledge of the Latin tongue, may be waited on at their 
 own houses by the author of the foUowiug Essay," an annoimcemeut 
 certainly calculated to convey the idea that the "canny Scot" 
 regarded his erudite performance as an excellent mercantile specula- 
 tion, and favorable medium of publicity. To render the work more 
 remarkable, the preface and postcript were contributed by Dr. Samuel 
 Johnson." Johnson contributed prefaces and postcripts to works he 
 had never read with the greatest ease, as his collected works show. 
 
 "The authors from whom Laiider accused Milton of borrowing 
 without acknowledgment, were some of them all but unknown in 
 what was then called the learned world. Among them was Mase- 
 nius, a .Jesuit of Cologne, Taubmann, a German, and Staphorstius, a 
 learned Dutchman. From these and other aiithors passages were 
 quoted in some of which there was a general resemblance, and in 
 others a close similarity to the most admired portions of ' Paradise 
 Lost.' " 
 
 " But Lauder's triumph was of shoi't duration. The detection of 
 the imposition, and the chastisement of the impostor fell into able 
 hands. Upon its publication the work attracted the attention of 
 the Rev. John Douglas, afterwards Bishop of Salisbury, whose jea- 
 lous regard for the reputation of Milton, induced him to investigate 
 its contents. Confident of the great poet's integrity, and not content 
 with Lauder's assertions, he proceeded, with considerable pains, to 
 search for the passages which had been quoted from Masenius, Sta- 
 phorstius, Grotius, and others. The result was most triiimphant: 
 
LAUDER -LEI. 83 
 
 in nearly every instance he found that Lauder had tampered with 
 the text, and had impudently inserted several lines of a translation 
 of the 'Paradise Lost' in Latin hexameters by William Hogg, and 
 others of his own manufacture. The detection was so complete that 
 the impostor had no alternative but confession. A full avowal of the 
 fraud was accordingly di-awn up by Dr. Samuel Johnson, who natu- 
 rally enough considered his reputation somewhat involved in the 
 transaction, and after some demur signed by Lauder. Upon a calm 
 re\new of the whole circumstances of the case, we cannot, however, 
 absolve Johnson from all blame. That he was the dupe of the im- 
 postor, and entirely innocent of the fraud, will be readilj^ admitted ; 
 but can it be said that he exercised a proper discretion, in giving his 
 sanction and support to a charge the accuracy of which he had not 
 taken the trouble to investigate ? . . . 
 
 " After the appearance of Dr. Douglas's reply the following adver- 
 tisement (which we quote as a literary curiosity in its way) was 
 inserted in the public newspapers by Lauder's publishers: — 
 
 "White Hart in Paternoster Eow, London, Nov. 28, 1750. 
 
 " Upon the publication of the Rev, Mr. Douglas's Defence of Mil- 
 ton, in answer to Lauder, we immediately sent to Lauder, and 
 insisted upon his clearing himself from the charge of forgery which 
 Dr. Douglas has brought against him, by producing the books in 
 question. He has this day admitted the charrje, but with great insen- 
 sibility. 
 
 •' We therefore disclaim all connexion with him, and shall for the 
 future sell his book only as a masteiijiece of fraud, which the public 
 may be supplied with at Is. Cd., stitched. " Johx Payne.

 a desen'ed compliment upon Mr. Goodrich by appointing 
 him consul at Paris."] 
 
 In the history of the world it would be impossible, we think, to 
 find a more popular pseudonym than that of Peter Parley. Since 
 1828, one hundred and seventy volumes, bearing that name, or 
 edited under it, have been issued. Of all these about 7,000,000 of 
 volumes have been sold: about 300,000 volumes are now sold 
 annually. Our plan precludes our giving the titles of these works, 
 on almost every subject ; but the curious reader will find a complete 
 list in S. A. Allibone's Critical Dictionary of English Literature, 1859. 
 
 PARLEY (Peter). This pseudonym has been claimed, 
 but without cause, and after his death, for the late ]\Ir. S. 
 Kettell (of America) the only pretext being that he had 
 worked for the real " Simon Pure." But the claim was 
 as unjust as that now set up by Mr. Pugin that bis father 
 designed the Houses of Parliament. 
 
 PARLEY (Peter) impostor. 
 
 As we have before observed that it would be almost impossible to 
 find a name under which more popular and useful works have been 
 written than this ; so we think it would be difficult to find one which 
 has been more the subject of barefaced and open robbery, both on 
 the part of literators and publishers. 
 
 Among the most notorious we have Peter Parley's Annual, Darton 
 (L- Co. (publishers), continued from 1841 to 1855, 14 vols. And 12 
 others bj' the same publishers, all spimous. Life of St. Paul, Simp-

 The author who has so long traded on a dead writer's nam de 
 plume avows himself. His name is William Martin. To those who 
 care for Samuel Goodrich's honest fame in the world of letters, it 
 will be interesting to know that his impersonator has again flung 
 away a piece of his mask, and stands revealed as William Martin, 
 Holly Lodge. Mr. Martin, you have taken one step in the right

 direction, and we congratulate you on tliat sign of uneasiness, if not 
 of penitence. Why not take another step, and desist altogether from 
 using Peter Parley's title, to which you have no kind of right that 
 can be recognised in a court of honour.

 " There are still other counterfeits of Parley's works, issued by 
 various parties in London. The utter disregard of truth, honour, 
 and decency, on the part of respectable British authors and publish- 
 ers in this wholesale system of imposition and injustice, is all the 
 more remarkable when we consider that the British public and espe- 
 cially the British authors and booksellers are denoimcing us in 
 America as pirates, for refusing international copyright. 
 
 " The conduct of all these parties places them, morally, on a footing 
 with other counterfeiters and forgers : public opinion, in the United 
 States, woidd consign persons conducting in this manner to the same 
 degree of reprobation. Can it be that, in England, a man who utters a 
 counterfeit five-pound note is sent to Newgate, while another may 
 issue thousands of counterfeit volumes and not destroy his reputa- 
 tion ?" — S. G. Goodrich, see A IHbone.

104 PSALM ANAZAR. 
 
 PSALMANAZAR (George) pseudonym. 
 
 The most extraordinary impostor on record. He himself would 
 never divulge his real name, wishing only to be known as an impos- 
 tor. So degraded and vagahondish had his life been, that he assumed 
 the above name, and l)ore it with him to the grave, having faithfully 
 kept tlie secret of his birth and parentage. 
 
 He is now only remembered as the author of a strange fabrication, 
 entitled: — 
 
 An Historical and Geographical Description of Formosa, 
 an island subject to tlie Emperor of Japan. Giving an 
 account of the Religion, Customs, Manner.s, &c., of the In- 
 habitants. Together with a relation of what happen'd to 
 the author in his Travels ; particularly his Conferences with 
 the Jesuits, and others, in several parts of Europe. Also the 
 History and Reasons of his Convereion to Christianity, with 
 his Objections against it (in defence of Paganism), and their 
 Answers. To which is prefixed a Pi'eface in vindication of 
 himself from the reflections of a Jesuit lately come from 
 China, with an account of what passed between them. By 
 George Psalmanaazaar, a native of the said Island, now 
 in London, lllusti'ated with several cuts. Lond. Printed 
 for Dan Bi'own, at the Black Swan without Temple-Bar, &c. 
 1704. 8vo; 8 + xiv. + 2 + 131 + 4. 
 
 "Without having travelled out of Europe, he invented an account 
 of an Asiatic island, and preserved sufficient consistency in his nar- 
 rative to obtain for it, for a time, almost universal credence. Long 
 after the imposture was discovered, the book was quoted as genuine, 
 and it is admitted to carry with it an air of fact and reality, which 
 does credit, at any rate, to the ingenuity of the author. 
 
 But Psalmanaazaar, " who is still in England, hath long since ingenu- 
 ously owned the contrary, tlio' not in so publick a manner as he might 
 perhaps have done had not such an avowment been likely to have 
 affected some few persons, who for private ends took advantage of 
 his youthfid vanity, to encourage him in an imposture which he 
 might otherwise never have had the thought, much less the confi- 
 dence, to have carried on. Those persons being now dead, and out 
 of all danger of being hurt by it, he now gives us leave to assure the 
 world that tlie greatest part of that account was fabulous .... and 
 he designs to leave behind him a faithful account of that unhappy 
 step .... to be publislied after his death, when there will be less 
 reason to suspect him of having disguised or palliated the truth."— 
 A Comjykte System of Geography. By Emanuel Brown. 1747. Fol. 
 ii. 251. 
 
PSALMANAZAR. 105 
 
 It is said that Psalmanazar himself wrote the genuine account of 
 Formosa in the above work as a compensation for his fabrication. 
 But in the work itself the account is acknowledged to be taken from 
 another author who resided there, but whose account is admitted to 
 be almost as bad as Psalmanazar's. 
 
 But little interest now attaches to a fabrication once so famous. 
 There was, however, a completeness about the imposture which 
 renders it remarkable. Psalmanazar's great difficulty was to support 
 the character he had assumed. 
 
 There was nothing Asiatic in his appearance ; he was surrounded 
 by sceptical inquirers, and frequently puzzled with questions and 
 objections ; but his hardihood and ingenuity enabled him to main- 
 tain his ground, and baffle his most pertinacious opponents. In the 
 narrative of his life, which, in a spirit of penitence, he drew up in 
 after-years, he has given an interesting account of the strange 
 adventures of his youth. For this we must refer the reader to that 
 work, or to any 'of the biographical dictionaries, or to the source 
 whence we have adopted much — namely, Mr. Lawrence's article in 
 Sharpe's London Magazine. 
 
 The first edition of the remai'kable romance of which we have given 
 the full title-page was soon exhausted, and another called for. The 
 second edition contains " a new preface, clearly answering everything 
 that has been objected against the author and the book, and a map 
 and a figxire of an idol not in the former impression." Many editions 
 of the translation were published in France. In spite of its impro- 
 babilities, the book was devoutly believed. Psalmanazar was sent 
 to Oxford, and maintained there by the Bishop of London. 
 
 The first period of Psalmanazar's life was, as he himself confessed, 
 sufficiently infamous : in the second he endeavoured, by sincere 
 repentence, to atone for his youthful errors and disreputable impos- 
 tures. Dr. Johnson, who at the latter period knew him well, often 
 stated that he was the best man he had ever known, and that he 
 would as soon have thought of contradicting a bishop as George 
 Psalmanazar. 
 
 During the latter portion of his life he supported himself entirely 
 by literary pui'suits. He wrote part of "the Universal History."

 Tlie learned and rev. author of this, and the champion of biblio-

 have been engidphed in the vortex of bibliographic pursuits. Let 
 the juvenile reader incUned to pursue bibliography as a science, avoid 
 •it as he woidd a pest, for it will blight his prospects and shatter his 
 constitution if pursued, as it must be, when once entered upon. But 
 once entered upon, it is the broad path that leads to endless labour, 
 no reward but fame amongst a few men of science. Let Robert 
 Watt, his sons, Lowndes, and, above all, J. M. Qudrard, be his warn- 
 ings.

 GERMAN PLAGIARISM. 
 
 We are apt to charge one anotlier witli copying from the Germans, 
 and there may be some among us who assume the credit of research 
 vipon materials which are found to hand in some German book. There 
 may also be some who do nothiug more than translate, and pass them- 
 selves off as authors. The following account will show that the con- 
 verse may be true ; that a German may translate scores of pages, one 
 after another, from an English writer, and present them as his own. 
 The theft is eight years old, but it is not likely tliat such a thing 
 should be noticed immediately in England ; and, moreover, it is de- 
 sirable it should be known that lapse of time does not spell impunity. 
 The owner in this case is Mr. J. R. Young ; the appropriator is Dr. 
 C. H. Schnuse, then of Heidelberg. Mr. Young began writing on the 
 theory of equations in 1823, wheu he was the first elementary writer 
 who saw the value of what is now current as Horner's method, the 
 great completion of the imperfect labours of Vieta, Briggs, and Newton 
 in the numerical solution of equations. Mr. Young was afterwards 
 the author of a long chain of well-known elementary works, and was 
 for many years professor at Belfast. When the Institution of that 
 place was converted into a Queen's College, he was made to fall to 
 the ground between the two stools, in a manner which he explained 
 at the time in a pamphlet. Belfast is a place of many religious sores. 
 Mr. Young was also unequally used in reference to his retiring pen- 
 sion ; but this matter was afterwards righted by the Government, 
 and, we believe, arrears were paid. We remember this by the oppo- 
 sition made by some honourable membei-, who rather suspected that 
 a Belfast payment must be a job. The following dialogue ensued : — 
 
 Hon. Member. — Is Mr. Young a professor of theology? 
 
 Current Mvmter. — No! of mathematics. 
 
SCHNUSE. 113 
 
 Hon. Member. — I withdraw my opposition, 
 
 Mr. Yoimg, who has written largely on the theoiy of ecjiiations, 
 published his "Algebraical Equations of the higher order" in 1843. 
 Dr. Schnuse published his " Theorie der hohen Algebriiischen und 
 der Transcendenten Gleichnngen,'' at Brunswick, in 1850. We have 
 not troubled ourselves to reckon how much more than 100 pages, or 
 less than 300, are taken from Mr. Young's book. We dip into the 
 chapter on Sturm's theorem, and we find page after page, and example 
 after example, as in Yoimg : not merely the method and examples 
 ti'anscribed, but the intermediate paragraphs. Tlius, having finished 
 one example (Y''oiing, p. 242 ; Schnuse, p. 180), they l^oth start off 
 into the same other example in the following way : — 
 
 Yovnrj. Schnuse. 
 
 We shall now give an example Wir woUen diese allgemeinen 
 
 that will in some measure illus- Bemerkungen gleichsam noch 
 
 trate the preceding observations. durch ein Beispiel erlautern. 
 
 And so on to the end of the chapter. We amused ourselves by find- 
 ing out how a person -wathout any German might detect the copying. 
 By the examples, of course : the Arabic numerals are common to botli 
 nations. But at the end of this chapter the English reader sees 
 that the method of Fourier has a practical value, while at the end of 
 the German this same English reader catches sight of Fourier ^scJie 
 Methode and Praktischen Werth. Then, in the first sentence of the 
 next chapter, on Horner's method, the English eye may still see 
 something in the German text : — 
 
 Young. Schnuse. 
 
 The method of approximation Die methode zur niihemngswei- 
 
 to the real roots of numerical sen Berechnung der reellen Wur- 
 
 cquations to be discussed in the zelnderZahlengleichungenwelche 
 
 present chapter, is that which was wir in diesem Kapitel auseinan- 
 
 first proposed by Mr. Horner, and dersetzen wollen, rlihrt von Hor- 
 
 published by him in the Philoso- ner her, welcher sic im .Tahre 
 
 2>hical Transaction.^, in the j-ear 1819 in den Philosophical Trans- 
 
 1819. actions veroffentUcht hat. 
 
 Then follows many and many a page of examples and illustrations 
 common to both writers. Dr. .Schnuse mentions Mr. Young's name 
 in reference to another matter, at the end of the work : alhuling to 
 him, not as a writer, but as the inventor of a method. 
 
 The facetious Hierocles tells the story of a man who, Iiaving a 
 house to sell, carried about a brick as a specimen. The bricks of 
 which books are built are specimens ; and seldom is it that two or 
 three bricks are piled togetlier in two different books in exactly tho 
 same way, by nothing but coincidence. The same ideas often strike 
 different persons fairly ; it is very rare indeed that the same sentence 
 occiirs to both, if of ten or fifteen words- It lias l)een noted that 
 Terence says, / iwm, sequar, and that some modem dramatists have

 hit on, Oo before, Fll folloro. This is, perhaps, nearly the utmost 
 extent to which different writers fall on tlie same collocations of 
 words : four, five, or six at a time. 
 
 The unscrupulous man whom we have exposed might have been 
 an honourable translator; lie has chosen to be a dishonourable trans- 
 former. We dismiss him with the remark that he has added one to 
 the number of inconvertible identities : Schnuse is German for }'oM>i;/, 
 but Young is not English for Schnuse. — AthetuBum, 5th March, 1859, 
 p. 321. 
 
 SCOTT (Sir Walter) Bart. 
 
 The following works have been falsely, or fi-audulently 
 with intent to deceive, attributed to England's greatest 
 novelist. The reader will look in vain for them in Lock- 
 hart's Life of Sir W. Scott : 
 
 The Lay of the Scottish Fiddle, a tale of Havre de 
 Grace. Supposed to be written by Walter Scott Esq. First 
 American from the fourth Edinburgh Edition. New York, 
 1813. [By James Kii-ke Paulding.] 
 
 The Bridal of Caolchairn, and Miscellaneous Poems. 
 By Sir Walter Scott, Bart. 5th edition, London, Hurst <b 
 Co. and Edinburgh, Constable, 1822, 8vo. [By J. H. Allan.] 
 "This pretended '5th edition' diSers in the title-page only from 
 the first edition [same year], bearing the name of the real author, 
 J. H. Allan."— iS^o^e in B. M. Cat. 
 
 Die Erstiirmung von Selama, oder die Rache. Eine 
 schottLsche Sage von Walter Scott. 3 thle, Quedlinburg 
 und Leipzig, 1825. 
 
 Walladmor. Frei nach dem Englischen des Walter Scott, 
 
 von W s, 3 bde., Beriin, F. A. 'Eerhig, 1824. [By 
 
 G. W. H. Haering, known in Germany under the pseudo- 
 nym, Willibald Alexis]. 
 
 "James Ballantyne's satisfaction went on increasing as the MS. 
 flowed in upon him ; and he at last pronounced The Talisman such a 
 masterpiece that The Betrothed might venture abroad imder its wing. 
 Sir "Walter was now reluctant on that stibject, and said he would rather 
 write two more new novels than the few pages necessary to complete his 
 unfortunate Betrothed. But while he hesitated, the German news- 
 papers announced "-<4 nciv Romance by the Author of Waverley" as 
 about to issue from the press of Leipzig. There was some ground for 
 suspecting that some of the suspended sheets might have been pur- 
 loined and sold to a pii'ate, and this consideration put an end to his 
 BCniples, And when the German did publish the fabrication entitled 
 
SCOTT— SCRIBE. llTi 
 
 Walladniory it coiUcl no longer be doubtful that some reader of Scott's 
 sheets had communicated at least the fact that he was breaking ground 
 in Wales." — Lockhart's Life of Scott. 
 
 Walladmor : "Freely translated into German from the 
 English of Sir Walter Scott," and now freely translated 
 from the German into English. In 2 vols, London, printed 
 for Taylor and Hessey, 1825. 
 
 This fabrication wliich is full of gross anachronisms, was translated 
 into French [by A. J. B. Defauconpret] from the English version. Paris, 
 1825, 3 vols. A long account will be found hi the Lend. Magazine, 
 X. 353 (says Bohn's Lowndes which gives the title incorrectly from 
 that journal.) It seems Sir Walter did not supply novels in sufficient 
 niunbers for the German appetite, or else they were too expensive for 
 the frugal German pockets. At all events here is another by the same 
 author, who is still li\'ing : — 
 
 Schloss Avalon. Frei nach deiii Englischen des Walter 
 Scott vom Uebex'setzer des Walladmor. 3 bde. Leipzig, 
 F. A. Brochaus [a very celebrated firm by the way], 1827.

 du capitaine Cliitterbiich [written in French by M. Calais, 
 assisted, Querard says, by Theod. Anne]. Paris, 1842, 2 
 vols. 
 
 Allan Cameron [by the same]. FavI^, 1842, 2 vols, a 
 German translation, published in 1841. 
 
 Le Proscrit des Hebrides, roman inedit. [Written by

 authorship to Sir W. S] 3 vols, London, published for the 
 proprietor (Cabany) by Sampson Low, 1855.

 (by T. F. Dibdin) suggested to some anonymous writer the idea of 
 satirizing the mania for prints in a volume. ... Of this the less is

 notes may justly be applied the author's motto Caeoethes Carpendi : 
 it is throughout tinctured with malevolence. The cut prefixed pur- 
 ports to be copied from an unique print of Will Somers, the jester,

 stating that, except in the present instance and in that of the pam- 
 phlet aUuded to, he is not accountable for anything that may have 
 appeared under the signature of John Search. He is led to mention 
 this from the circumstance of some other writer having assumed the 
 same signature about a twelvemonth, more or less, after he had 
 adopted it ; and forthwith prefixed it to simdry publications of his 
 own. He would also deprecate, could he think it necessary, the sup- 
 position that he could have meant by such title to imply any sort of 
 pretensions as regards the peculiar qualifications for learned research."

 At Geneva, early last year, we encountered Sir Egerton's volume on 
 Political Economj% with Packhoud's imprint — drawn from our couu- 
 trj^man, no doubt, by his breathing the same air with Sismoudi. At 
 Florence he had dropped a volume of tales and poetry. In the autumn 
 we were at Rome, and heard from our valet de place, as his first piece 
 of news, that Sir Brydges had established a printing press in the 
 eternal city, under the protection of a cardinal. At Naples, almost 
 the first book we met with was the work, the title of which 
 stands at the head of this notice, and which is the commencing num- 
 ber of a series, which the Chevalier Du Pont (as Sir Egerton Brydges 
 was called at Paris) intends perseveringly to continue, unless he 
 should be stopped by an invasion or an eruption. Every man has his 
 hobby, says Sterne ; a printing press seems to be Sir Egerton's : — but

 that lie should go abroad to print and jiublish English books, is surely 
 strange! His ambition was once to "witch the world" with smart 
 volumes ^'from the private press at Lee Priory ;" but as if a private 
 press in his o^xn country was not sufficiently secluded from tlie inter- 
 ference of the impertinent curiosity of readers, he has now allowed 
 his love of obscurity as an author to carry him away to strangers alto, 
 gether, — amongst whom he may reasonably hope to be able to piiut 
 and publish once a month or oftener, without running any very im- 
 minent hazard of having his modest pages rumpled or fluttered by 
 the eagerness of perusal. — Blackwood's Mag., Feb., 1821.

 The spurious or doubtful plays of Shakespeare occupy six closely 
 printed columns in the new edition of LowTides by H. G. Bohn, to 
 which we refer the reader. 
 
 It is not often that we have occasion to praise this work, nor have 
 we been much indebted to it. The bibliogram on Shakespeare is 
 really so thoroughly worked up, that we have very great pleasure in 
 testifying to its usefulness ; and whenever we mention Shakespeare, 
 if further information is required, Lowndes by Bohn should be refer- 
 red to.

 Special Pleader. 
 
 This witty little poem whicli contains so many hits at the author's 
 own profession, has been frequently reprinted since 1796. 
 
 Lord Campbell, in his Lives of the Justices, quotes these lines ; — 
 Three years I sat his smoky room in, 
 Pens, paper, ink, and pounce consuming. 
 And observes that "Tom Tewkesbvu-y" was the Hero of the Guide, 
 which he thinks has become almost luiintelbgible, from the changes 
 in our legal procedure. The noble lord relates that he had heard 
 Professor Porson, at the Cider Cellars, in Maiden Lane, now no more, 
 recite the whole from memorj', and that he concluded by relating that 
 when buying a copy of it, and complaining that the price was very 
 high, the bookseller said, "Yes, Sir, but you kIlo^Y Laiv- Books axe 
 always very dear."

 When this gentleman wished to dispose of a portion of his curious 
 collections, he took a fancy to be enigmatic on the occasion, and part 
 was offered for sale as the property of a fictitious Englishman, Mr. 
 RiddeU, and part as the property of a fictitious German, Herr Rset- 
 zel. "Riithsel" in German is the equivalent of "riddle" in Eng- 
 lish, and the riddle has remained a riddle to many bililiographers to 
 this day. The Athenaeum, from whose number for March, 1860, we 
 take this, gives an instance of a very learned German bibliograph, 
 Dr. Graesse, being tlaus misled. As he more than once in his Tr6sor 
 des Livres Bares, etc., quotes the prices at the sale of "M. Rajtzel." 
 This last is mentioned by Harrisse in his Bib. Americana, 1866.

LADY AUDLEY'S SECRET. 133 
 
 THE AUTHOR OF Lady Auclley'a Secret [Miss Braddon]. 
 The Doctor's Wife, London, 18G4, Aurora Floyd. 
 Henry Dunbar, 1864. Sir Jasper's Tenant, 1864. See 
 Lascelles (Lady C.) pseud. 
 
 The opening chapters of Lady Audley's Secret w^ere first published 
 auonymoiisly in Robin Goodfellow, a journal conducted by Charles 
 Mackay, in 1S61. It ceased at the twelfth number. Four octavo 
 pages of the latter, in double columns, make 24 pages in the three 
 volume reprint, in which the fact of its having previously appeared is 
 not mentioned. 
 
 Henry Dunbar, the Story of an Outcast. By the 
 Author of Lady Audley's Secret. Maxwell & Co., 1864. 
 
 On the publication of this work the " Athenaiuni " made 
 the following remarks : 
 
 " The Publication of a new novel by Miss Braddon seems to bring, 
 as a matter of course, a renewal of the old piiffery. We shall take the 
 liberty of telling all parties concerned that the thing is over done. 
 People are growing suspicious of books which begin — as far as they 
 can see — with a second edition." 
 
 This novel was tirst published in a serial form in the London Jour- 
 nal in 1864, under the title of "The Outcast," though this fact is 
 not mentioned in the re-issue. With regard to the second edition 
 being the first, the latter was doubtless a very small one, and this 
 may not unjustly be considered as part of the "puffing system," 
 which we by no means condemn, if carried on honestly. A certain 
 amount of puffing for an unknowai writer is necessary to bring him 
 into notice ; but our readers may jndge for themselves of the follow- 
 ing paragi'aph, sent by the publishers of the novel to the "Athe- 
 nseum" for publication: 
 
 ^' Henry Dunbar — The publishers state that the whole of the 1st 
 edition of this new nooel, by the author of ' Lady Audlej^'s Secret ' 
 has been completely exhausted on the first day of pubhcation ; and 
 that a second edition is in the press, and will be ready on Monday 
 next. Admirers of Miss Braddon' s prolific pen have much cause to 
 rejoice in her popidarity, the growth of which is now made more mani- 
 fest than ever by the simultaneous issue of her writings in the French, 
 German, and English languages, etc." 
 
 Mr. Maxwell has the sanction of the law for this proceeding : — "the 
 Vice-Chancellor apprehended that if a publisher chose to print 20,000 
 copies, keeping in his storehouse a large quantity, and periodically 
 issuing them to the world, by thousands, for instance, every such 
 issue would be an edition." — Reade v. Bentlty, Phillips, p. 73.

 the German by G. Soane, and published in 183.").

 The authoress began writing this in 1812, the year in which Waver- 
 ley burst upon the novel world. In a letter, she says of her work: — 
 
 " It is very unfortunate in coming after Waverley, by far the mo.st 
 splendid exhibition of talent in the novel way which has apjieared 
 since the days of Fielding and Smollett. There seems little doubt 
 that it comes from the pen of Scott. What a competitor for poor 
 little me ! The worst of all is, that I have ventured unconsciously 
 on Waverley's own ground, by carrying my heroine to the High- 
 lands !" 
 
 "Tdl I began Self-Control [1811] I had never in my Ufe written 
 anything but a letter or a receipt, excepting a few hiuidreds of vile 
 rhymes, from which I desisted by the time I had gained the wisdom 
 of fifteen years ; therefore I was so ignorant of the art on which I 
 was entering, that I formed scarcely any plan for my tale. I merely 
 intended to show the power of the religious principle in bestowing 
 self-command, and to bear testimony against a maxim as immoral as 
 indelicate, that a reformed rake makes the best husband." — Mary

 In an excellent article in that very excellent English Cyclopaedia, 
 of the enterprising Charles Knight, on the British Museum, it is stated 
 that Uncle Tom's Cabin has been translated into Armenian, and "It 
 may be worth while to mention that advantage has been taken (at 
 the British Museum) of the polyglot popularity of Uncle Tom's Cabin 
 to afford students an opportunity, not otherwise procurable, of study- 
 ing the colloquial and familiar idiom of different countries. Versions 
 have been procured in almost every European language ; and there 
 are some Welsh and Wallachian, for instance, in which there are 
 double or triple versions of this particular book, while there is hardly 
 a double version of any other except the Bible. "

 The result of some letters written by Dr. Cummiug in the Times,

 ' Bee-Keeping ' is one of the most remarkable specimens of book- 
 making which we have met with for a long time. The author, Dr. 
 Gumming, sent to the Times an account of a successful honey harvest 
 about the end of July last (1864). This led to various inquiries by 
 different writers addressed to that journal, which, having been for- 
 warded to the ' Bee-Master, ' a series of six other letters on bees and 
 wasps was subsequently published. . . . They occupy 50 pages of the 
 volume before us, which consists of 224. . . . All this was written, 
 printed, and published, with a number of woodcuts, by the end of 
 September!" The writer (in the Athenceum) concludes by saying 
 that it is "an amusing addition to the bibliography of the hive."

 MR. THORNBURY'S "LIFE OF TURNER." 
 
 (To the Editor of the A thenceum.) 
 
 Button, Brentwood, Dec. 2, 1861. 
 
 "Turner hated plagiarism," says Mr. Thornbury in his recently 
 published life of our great landscape painter (vol. ii. p. 256) ; and he 
 endeavours to show, in no very graceful terms, in his preface, that 
 plagiarism in literature is as repugnant to his feelings as a man of 
 letters, as plagiarism in art was to the artist. " Mr. Timbs," remarks 
 the biographer, " with little of that courtesy which should distin- 
 guish literary men, plying his scissors with his usual industry, has 
 lately cut out a dozen or two of trite or erroneous Turner stories, and 
 published them in a catchpenny form, for which- — as partly fulfilling 
 Job's wish— I thank him." 
 
 T may very fairly exclaim with Gratiano, "I thank thee, Jew, for 
 teaching me that word" ; for Mr. Thornbury has plied his scissors 
 on a short memoir of Turner of mine Math a prodigality that seems 
 almost incredible. Mr. Timbs, the prolific compiler, publishes his 
 Turner stories as a compilation. Mr. Thornbury prints all the best 
 of my Turner stories, scattered over many pages, as his own. In the 
 last edition of Turner's "Rivers of France," published in 1853, by 
 Mr. Bohn, there is a memoir of the artist by Mr. Alaric Watts, in 
 which is included six pages of extracts from my memoir, with honour- 
 able mention of me as the author. I need only refer to Mr. Watts's 
 extracts, because it is from these that Mr. Thornbury has helped 
 himself. Out of the six pages (p. xlii. to xlviii.) containing them, he 
 has appropriated three ; the contents appear in vol. i. pp. 67 and 
 198-199, and in vol. ii. pp. 130-131, 141, 161, 217-218 and 318. The 
 first extract Mr. Thornbury takes the trouble to re-write : —

 them in his mind. There were into his mind legions of transitory 
 
 few moving plienomena in clouds effects by aid of a stupendous, re- 
 
 or shadows which he did not fix tentive, and minute memory." 
 indelibly in his memory." 
 
 Mr. Thornbury, thinking probably that my style was now sufficiently 
 elegant for his purpose, lays down the pen for the scissors. His next 
 extract, commencing "An intimate friend, while travelling in the Jura," 
 vol. i. p. 198-199, is printed verbatim. The next cutting is manipu- 
 lated with the skill of an accomplished penny-a-liner. It occupies an 
 entire page of Mr. Thornbiiry's work, vol. ii. pp. 130-131, commencing 
 " One element in Turner's success was his indifference to praise," and 
 ending "He felt keenly the ignorant criticisms and ridicule with 
 which his own pictures were sometimes treated." The ingenuity ex- 
 ercised to give originality to this paragraph consists in half a dozen 
 lines in one part of it being printed between turned commas, and ■ 
 attributed to Mr. Peter Cunningham ! The fourth extract, p. 141, 
 commencing "He never would tell his birthday," is printed verbatim. 
 Of the next interpolated paragraph, p. 161, commencing "He WTote 
 few letters, " I have less to complain of. Mr. Thornbury does not 
 print this, similar to the rest, as his own, but, like a vast number of 
 other collectanea in his book, between turned commas, wathout 
 acknowledgment or reference. The next extract occupies an entire 
 page, p. 217-218, and is printed, also, verbatim; it commences, 
 " Turner was always on the alert for any remarkable effects," and 
 ends, "in which the great artist's attention had been caught by the 
 hissing and puffing and glowing fire of the locomotive." The seventh 
 and last clause in my indictment against Mr. Thornbury is a short 
 one ; and as it is altered I must ask permission to give it entire : —

 size, in the act of sketching. The 
 singularity of his dress and figure

 to, and it has been pronounced au 
 admirable and faithful likeness. 
 It will be gratifying to Turner's 
 friends to know that Mr. C. Tur- 
 ner intends to engrave the por- 
 trait." 
 
 If anything were needed to show the worthlessness of Mr. Thorn- 
 bury 's "Life of Turner," it is the unnecessary approjiriation of this 
 passage. One would think that a chapter devoted especially to "" The 
 Turner Portraits," about which so much curiosity prevails, would be 
 at least marked by some research. But Mr. Thornbury cuts out my 
 paragraph in all its detail, as related to me by Charles Turner him- 
 self, bad gi'ammar — a common failing with Mr. Thornbury (here 
 printed in Italic) — included ; and having run his pen through the 
 rash assertion of the engraver, that he had offered to give a commis- 
 sion to Sir Thomas Lawrence, winds up simply with the remark, " I 
 believe that Mr. C. Turner engraved this portrait." Mr. Thornbury, 
 perceiving in my statement of ten years ago that Mr. C. Turner in- 
 tended to engrave it, assumes that he did engrave it. By happy acci- 
 dent, in no way, however, due to Mr. Thornbury's research, he has 
 hit the mark ; for on the death of Charles Turner, about three years 
 ago, the secret came to light, at the sale of his effects, as every dilet- 
 tanti knows, of his having engraved this portrait as long back, appa- 
 rently, as twenty years before. What criticism, then, can be too 
 strong to denounce Mr. Thornbury's random assertion, "I heUeveM.T. 
 Charles Turner engraved this portrait " ? A print from this plate, 
 which it is suspected the sly engraver destroyed, may be seen at Mr. 
 Graves', the eminent publisher of Pall Mall. 
 
 My memoir of Turner, it may be added, was drawn up from vivci 
 voce information imparted to me by some of the gt-eat artist's most 
 intimate friends within three days of his decease, — Mr. Charles 
 Turner, one of his executors, and Mr. Leslie, both of whom have since 
 followed him to the grave ; Mr. Windus, and others. 
 
 Speaking of dear old John Britton, the well-known author of many 
 beautiful works of vast and original research on the Cathedrals of 
 England — a man whose memory is cherished by every true-hearted 
 antiquary with homage and respect— Mr. Thornbury says (vol. ii. p. 
 
THORNBURY. 155 
 
 151) — "There is a story told of Turner's love of concealment, which 
 connects him with Britton, the publisher of so many architectural 
 works ; a plausible and, I fear, a very mean man ; one of those bland, 
 selfish squeezers of other men's brains that still occasionally disgrace 
 literature." To whom should this scandalous observation be addressed? 
 I trust that some new biographer of Turner will arise to board this 
 piratical craft, and rescue the valuable freight which the painter's 
 bosom friends have committed to its keeping. It must be painful, 
 indeed, to these gentlemen, to Mr. Ti-inimer, and to Mr. Euskin espe- 
 cially, to find their precious reminiscences mixed up with such an 
 unlettered commentary. How light the manner, how flippant the 
 treatment, how utterly unworthy of a gi-eat subject ! 
 
 LovELL Keeve. 
 
 It may be as well to observe that Mr, Thombury in no way spares 
 other writers in his criticisms : will any one, twenty years hence, 
 quote Mr. Thornbury's own words in regard to himself: — "Tawdry 
 rubbish — now all but foi-gotten, and soon to sink deep in the mud- 
 pool of oblivion." 
 
 Mr. Thornbury's preface is good — indeed, we believe he never 
 writes anything badly, but it reminds us of Dr. Johnson, who wrote 
 capital prefaces to works which, if he ever read, he never wrote. It 
 is written in his richest style, redolent with word-painting : he uses 
 adjectives in the happiest manner. Unfortunately this use of adjec- 
 tives is apt to lead a writer from dry facts ; and the above " Life " 
 appears to have got him into a little trouble, for the details of which 
 we must refer to the Athenceum, 1861, vol. ii, where Mr. Masson 
 complains of Mr. Thornbury's disrespect (p. 808), "Inventions 
 about Turner," from Mr. Henry M'Connel (848)—" Turner and 
 Girtin," a refutation from Mr. W. H. Carpenter, Keeper of the Prints 
 and Drawings at the British Museum ; 1862, vol. i., p. 19 — from Mr. 
 John Pye, and (296, 331)— from Mr. Henry Elliot (G. Lewis, 334), all 
 complaiamg. 
 
 A captious letter from Mr. Thornbury in the number for 22nd 
 February, 1862, leaves him in a worse light than if he had been 
 silent. We therefore omit it. He ends by saying that "no false- 
 hood and no intentional plagiarism shall ever stain a single page I 
 write," which probably referred to the future, for "The Life of 
 Turner" disproves these words. 
 
 Mr. Thornbury, amongst other works, has written "The Monarchs 
 of the Main, 1855." In the preface to this he claims at least " origi- 
 nality," which seems to consist, according to his own account, in his 
 having taken it, more or less, from three other works, without, as 
 Professor De Morgan somewhere remarks, any evidence being left as 
 to whether it is more or less. The same observations will apply to

 An Answer to Mr. Lund's Attack on Mr. Todhunter. 
 Cambridge, Palmer, 1858. 
 
 The copyright of Wood's work having expired, it is public pro- 
 perty, so far as law is concerned. Mr. Lund in his pamphlet proves 
 that Mr. Todhunter has taken, without acknowledgment, what he 
 had a legal right to take, to the extent of under one-thirtieth of his 
 whole book. 
 
 Mr. Todhunter admits the charge, but defends his course on the 
 ground that Wood is so well known that any use made of him would 
 at once be recognised, that the omission was out of consideration for 
 Mr. Lund. 
 
 But, as the writer in the Athenceum, from whence we take this 
 note (1858, ii. 81, 110), observes, a person already in possession of 
 Wood, and wishes to have another author, would be grossly deceived 
 if he bought the same under another name : he adds that there is a 
 very lax view of such things taken at Cambridge, and instances a 
 case, but, we regret to say, gives no names.

 The pamphlet upon " The Aristocracy of England " is annoimced 
 as the first of a series. . . . The publisher is one of the regular agents 
 for that system of societies, of which the eldest assumed the title of 
 "The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge," and the latest 
 has not feared to proclaim itself "The Society for the Diffusion of 
 Political Knowledge." The founder and president of all these ultra- 
 philanthropic societies is Henry Lord Brougham and Vaux ; and 
 common report has ascribed to his lordship's versatile pen the pages 
 which his lordship's agent, Mr. Hooper, has just published as the 
 production of " Isaac Tomkins, Gentleman." 
 
 We have, from internal evidence, no sort of doubt that the public 
 report is in this instance correct. — Quarterly Eeview, liii. 540.

 Cursory Remarks on the Article in the Edinburgh 
 Review relative to Mr. Warden's Letters from St. Helena 
 [Lond ?], 1817. Signed " Waterloo." 
 
 "...That which is best known in England are the letters of Mr. War- 
 den, who has been made (we will not say the innocent, but) the 
 ignorant tool of the cabal. Oiir readers will recollect that in our 
 review of this man's work [xvi. 208] we ventured to assert — 1st, tfuit 
 no such letters icere ever leritten ; and 2d, that Mr. Warden only 
 brought home with him certain notes of conversations ^vitli Buona- 
 parte and his followers of which the tone and substance were made 
 to fit, not the truth of the facts, but the object which Buonaparte 
 had to accomplish. 
 
 These suspicions have been fully realized. — Mr. Warden, though he 
 aflFects in an advertisement to a new edition of bis work to take 
 notice of our animadversions, does not venture to affirm that sucb 
 letters ever were written. He confesses indeed that he employed a 
 literary man to correct his work, but alleges that this person added 
 nothing of his own : but we repeat it, he docs not and he cannot 
 
 H 
 
162 WARDEN. 
 
 deny that the character of letters urritten from St. Helena, which was 
 intended to give autliority to and to vouch for the authenticity of liis 
 work, is false, and that the whole foundation and substance of his 
 apolof^ for Buonaparte (for such it is) was information given him by 
 that person and his followers, and given by them for the purpose of 
 publication. 
 
 We have been informed that when Mr. Warden had left St. Helena, 
 it was well known to all the French that he was carrying home notes 
 for publication : and that, on the arrival of a ship from England 
 which brought newspapers and books, Buonaparte heedlessly asked 
 if Wnrden^s booh was come. Unluckily, Mr. Warden's book was only 
 published in London about the time when Buonaparte asked the 
 question, and was not known at St. Helena for six weeks after. 
 Whether it was by Buonaparte's desire that Warden gave his publi- 
 cation the shape in which we see it, or whether the surgeon acted 
 from a natural tendency to sophistication, we cannot pretend to say, 
 — it is enough for us to repeat, that his book is a gross imposition ; 
 the substance of which are the falsehoods of Las Cases and Buona- 
 parte, and the shape of which is the fabrication of the anonymous 
 editor." — Quarterly Review, xvi. 486. 
 
 * Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, in reply to Mr. 
 Warden ; with Extracts from the great work now compiling 
 for publication under the inspection of Napoleon. 1817 ; 
 8vo; 206. 
 
 It is just as we expected — and our reatlers will have been prepared 
 by the ninth article of our thirty-second number for this publication. 
 We have here another of the series of tricks with which Buonaparte 
 endeavours to keep himself alive in the recollection of Europe. It is, 
 like all the rest, fraudulent in its title, shape, and pretensions ; false 
 in its facts ; and Jacobinical in its object. But it has this claim to 
 consideration beyond its predecessors, that it comes from a source 
 so nearly connected with Buonaparte as to give it in some degree the 
 authority of being his oivn apolorpj made by himself. It tells us, in- 
 deed, little or nothing in the way of fact that is not familiar to oiu- 
 readers ; but it speaks in a more decisive tone — it shows by the sub- 
 . jects on which it attempts its apologies whereabout (to use a vulgar 
 phrase) the shoe pinches ; and it proves by the futility of them . . . 
 We have said that the very form of this publication is fraudident. 
 The author has, in this particular, closely imitated Mr. Warden. It 
 pretends to be a series of Letters : no such letters were ever written. 
 
 It is addressed to a Dear Lady C : the Dear Lady C is 
 
 not in existence. It affects to be originally written in English : it 
 was written in French, and the pretended original is only a transla- 
 tion ; and to crown the whole, the author assumes the character of 
 
WAVERLEY— WC. 103 
 
 an Englishman, while in fact he is a Frenchman, and no other, we 
 are satisfied, than the notorious Count de las Cases, of whose veracity 
 and honour our readers have already had some tolerable specimens. 
 
 We shall not waste much time in explaining the ear-marks by which 
 (in. addition to their own solemn and repeated assertions to the con- 
 trary) we recognize these Letters to be a translation from the French 
 The most carefid and adroit translator cannot always escape the in- 
 trusive treachery of gallicisms : but every page of this work aboimds. 
 with them ; half a dozen out of as many hundreds will more than 
 suffice to convince our readers. ..... 
 
 The facts, or rather, the falsehoods, might indeed have been put 
 together by Montholon, or any other of the clique ; but the style of 
 the pamphlet, and several circumstances connected with Las Cases, 
 leave, as we have said, little doubt in our minds that he is, imme 
 diately or remotely, the aiithor of it. But, whoever be the writer, 
 it must be considered as coming from Buonaparte himself ; and as- 
 sured, as we are, that it is derived from him, and published, if not 
 with his knowledge, at least in concurrence ^vith his wishes, we shall 
 persist in considering it as the apolo<jy of the ex-emperor dictated by 
 himself. 
 
 Our readers will have observed that the work is entitled "a Rephj 
 to Mr. Warden." We find in the outset a complete substantiation of 
 our charges against that person. ..... 
 
 But though this work is thus announced as a reply to Mr. Warden, 
 our readers will smile to hear that there is hardly one substantial con- 
 tradiction of his statements ; in fact the book is merely a postcript to 
 Warden's, repeating all his apologies for Buonaparte, but with greater 
 care and skill — softening down passages which had excited indigna- 
 tion — strengthening points which had been found weak — reconciling 
 contradictions which had been detected — supplying eulogies and pane- 
 gyrics upon themselves which had been omitted — and, in short, i)ub- 
 lishing !Mr. Warden's letters as Buonaparte and Las Cases originally 
 intended that they should have been published by him. — Quarterly 
 Revietv, 1817, xvii. 507, et seq.

 WHITE (Babington) pseudonym : plagiarist. 
 
 The plagiarism committed by " Mr. B. White " is in a 
 novel first published in a serial fonn in Belgravia, a monthly 
 magazine, of which Miss Braddon is " conductor," and Mr. 
 Maxwell proprietor. No sooner was " Cii'ce" republished in 
 the usual form by Messrs. Ward, Lock, and Tyler, the pub- 
 lisliers, than the press exposed the plagiarism. The Fall 
 Hall Gazette of the 16th September, 1867, in an article en- 
 titled " Dalila'' and "Circe," after noting that " Dalila," by 
 M. Octave Feuillet, was published in 1855, gave parallel 
 passages, which completely proved the theft from "Dalila " : 
 
 " Even the title of the English book is due to a suggestion of M, 
 Feuillet : ' Omphale, Circe Dalila ! ces noms de magiciennes qui 
 flamboient comme des phares dans la tradition du moude, comment 
 ne m'ont-ils pas eclair^ ' ? One can fancy the EugUsli author di\aded 
 between the merits of the titles "Omphale" and Circd, and idti- 
 mately deciding in favour of the shorter one ; especially as there 
 could be httle question about the method of pronouncing it — ' Om- 
 phale' suggesting difficulties of quantity to many. And then the 
 author has had the eflfrontery here and there to head his chapters 
 with garbled quotations from the French work, taking care of course 
 to suppress all mention of the source of his extracts ! 
 
166 WHITE. 
 
 "Tho crying ofTcnco of the book, however, is its absolute dis- 
 honesty. Its a(lai)ter is simply attempting to palm off upon the Eng- 
 lish public as an original novel a book stolen from the French, altered 
 in some respects, lengthened and much maltreated altogether, but 
 with its origin still clearly to be traced by those who will trouble 
 themselves to examine into the matter. We claim a right to protest 
 against a proceeding so fraudulent. In all cases of adaptation — let it 
 be a i)lay from a play, as ' The Streets of London,' from ' Les Pauvres 
 des Paris' — or a play from a novel, as * Still Waters Eun Deep,' from 
 'Lo Gendre' — or a novel from a novel, as 'The Doctor's Wife,' from 
 'Madame Bovary,' and 'Circ^' from 'Dalila' — it is the merest jus- 
 tice that the obligation to the foreign and original author should be 
 publicly acknowledged and formally placed upon record." 
 
 The very severe remarks made by the Pall Mall Gazette excited 
 much controversy. 
 
 A letter ai)peared the next day (17th Sept.) signed "M. E. Brad- 
 don," expressing regret that she shoidd have been imposed upon. 
 This letter. Miss Braddon wrote to say, was a forgery. In addition 
 to this, she offered to add 100 guineas to any reward the Pall Mull 
 Gazette might offer for the discovery of the forger. The Pull Mall 
 Gazette declined to offer any reward, and thus placed itself iu a false 
 position ; and general opinion, we believe, considered that it was 
 wrong in not carrying out Miss Braddon' s proposal. 
 
 The Sixctator wrote upon the subject, aud its remarks were com- 
 mented upon in the Pa^^ Mall Gazette of the 2Sth Sept., 1867. In 
 the same number it also published an advertisement extracted from 
 a Dutch newspaper, of 
 
 "A new novel of Miss Braddon's, derived from the French of Octave Feuillct, by 
 Babington White." 
 
 This, Miss Braddon contended, was spurious. The London Review 
 (Oct. 5), in an article entitled "Miss Babington," plainly said it be- 
 lieved this to be another of Miss Braddon's pseudonjrms. 
 
 We will conclude with one or two passages from an article entitled 
 " Good-Natured Criticism" in the Pall Mall Gazette: — 
 
 " Not for the purpose of recurring to the pai'ticulars of the signifi- 
 cant ' Circd ' business, but to show how the regidar manufacture of 
 such productions is fostered by good-natured critics, do we notice the 
 matter now. The case itself is thoroughly and indisputably bad. 
 The author of the imposture was not indebted to a contemporary 
 wi'iter for an idea or a situation merely — what he did was to steal by 
 wholesale — plot aud language, body and bones. And (this is particu- 
 larly significant) he plundered on system, and where one author failed 
 fastened on another. Having exhausted FeuiUet, he turns to Balzac, 
 for instance, and ekes out the incidents of his second volume by a 
 scene taken bodily from that writer's ' Chef d'QEuvre Inconnu.' The 
 
WHITE. 1G7 
 
 story produced in this artistic way was printed in a magazine gene- 
 rally considered to be respectable. It was afterwards republished, 
 and the publisher announced by advertisement that it had won the 
 favourable opinion of the Edinburgh JReview." [Mr. Maxwell had 
 struck out the word ' ' Daily " in the Edinhurfjh Dally Review, a prac- 
 tise which he defended in a letter to the Morning Star. See P. M. O. 
 Sept. 27th.] " This was dishonesty heaped upon dishonesty. The 
 Edinburgh Review had no more noticed the story than Mr. Babbington 
 White had invented it. That person luiknown had filched from M. 
 Feuillet, from Balzac, from Heaven knows whom beside, and his pub- 
 lisher ticketed the stolen goods with a false warranty. Is there 
 nothing reprehensible in that — nothing deserving of exposure and 
 reprobation ? One would think so who cared to maintain the integrity 
 of literary men as a body, to elevate, and not yet further to degrade, 
 the standard of hterature, and to expose the tricks of unscrupulous 
 traders. It seems, however, that opinion may differ even upon such 
 a matter as this ; that the offences we have permitted ourselves to 
 make known, though acknowledgedly indefensible, are yet not such 
 as a discreet critic would notice with asperity ; in fact, that asperity 
 in such a case is itseK improper, and subject to suspicions of private 
 malice. Nor is this view of the matter held only by shoddy novel 
 writers themselves, nor by those who employ them, nor by such 
 journals as are governed by the golden rule, 'Never offend a pub- 
 lisher.' " 
 
 "... It [the manufacture of novels] is founded on the beautiful 
 modern principle of division of labour, and this is the method of it. 
 You catch a literary man who has failed in making either a reputa- 
 tion or a fortune in writing stories. He must, however, have some 
 literary skill, and the sort of invention which in one chapter blows 
 up all the characters in a steamboat, and in the next brings them 
 down miraculously escaped. He must be facile in French, and have 
 a good acquaintance with novels in that language. To these novels, 
 guided by his own fancy, if he hapf)en to have any, he goes for 
 ideas, situations, plots complete ; and then, at hack pay, sketches 
 out his work, and fills it in, to the best of his ability. The work is 
 now ready for an ' eminent hand.' A touch here by the eminent 
 hand, a touch there, a chapter rewritten, an incident subordinated, 
 a scene heightened — behold your new novel, turned out with the 
 rapidity of machine work, and with about as much pretension to be 
 ' English literature.' ' Favourable notices ' can always be got from 
 journals of the starved apothecary stamp, and the trade pays. Of 
 coiu'se we know what the observation upon that will bo: Michael 
 Angelo painted pictures on a similar plan, and Alexandre Dumas is 
 said to have fabricated his romances in like manner. But there is a 
 distinction between a combination of various kinds and degrees of 
 
168 WHITE— WILKINS. 
 
 skill, and a conspiracy to blend into a new shape selected plunder 
 from the produce of other people's skill ; and this distinction is one 
 which cannot l)c bridged by the most good-natured criticism in the 
 WDrld. However, we only refer to the existence of this new branch 
 of industry as an additional reason for giving no encouragement to 
 iiida.'itricis of Mr. White's order, and to show that there are general 
 as well as particular reasons for objecting to him. It is upon general 
 grounds that we write now, thinking not so much of one offence as 
 the danger to an already enfeebled literature of tolerating the 
 offenders. Our contemporary the Spectator not only tolerates — it 
 defends them ; and we hope we have done no wrong in protesting 
 against the use of its influence in that way." — Oct. 3, 1867. 
 
 A writer in Belgravla, under the pseudonym of Captain Shandon, 
 attempted, in a somewhat coarse and vulgar article, to defend literary 
 piracy, and Mr. G. A. Sala also made some intemperate remarks in 
 an article that might have been excellent if it had advocated a good 
 cause. On l)oth the above the London Review commented in an 
 article entitled "The Knight of Belgravia." The Pall Mall Gazette 
 vouchsafed no rejjly : probably considering the tone of the articles 
 too coarse to deserve notice. 
 
 See also the Globe, the Evening Star, and several other newspapers 
 during September, October, and November, 1867. 
 
 It affords matter for reflection when we find two of the most popu- 
 lar novelists of the day — Miss Bi-addon and Alexandre Dumas — con- 
 tinually having accusations brought against them of literary super- 
 cheries.

 WILLS (W. G.) 
 
 Having written an exposure of the "hashing up" of novels system, 
 with regard to the novels of Mrs. Henry Wood (q.v.) the Pall Mall 
 Gazette next took a novel called " The Wife's Evidence " in hand, 
 and called attention to a similar enterpi-ise on the part of Mr. W. G. 
 Wills, its author. " In 1859 Messrs. Hurst and Blackett published a 
 novel called 'Life's Foreshado wings. ' A few weeks ago Messrs. 
 Tinsley published a new novel entitled 'The Love that Kills,' by 
 W, G. Wills. This book is simply ' Life's Foreshadowings ' repro- 
 duced. The names of the dramatis x>ersonce &re changed, and possibly 
 — for we must own that after closely comparing the first two volumes 
 of both publications we wearied of the task and abandoned it — there 
 may be some variation in the catastrophe ; but otherwise the plot is 
 the same, the scenes are the same, the characters are the same, page 
 after page and chapter after chapter being reprinted verbatim. In a 
 preface to 'The Love that Kills,' the author notes down certain 
 objects he had in view in that work ; he is careful, however, to give 
 no hint that he was reproducing an earlier book, which he probably 
 conceived was altogether forgotten." [It then gives parallel passages.] 
 
 " Upon the fairness of this system of publication — and it woidd 
 really seem to have become a system — it is scarcely necessary to com- 
 ment. It is to our minds just as cidpable as the practice of the dog- 
 fancier who, after selling you a dog, steals it, trims his ears and other- 
 wise disguises him, and then sells him to you again. We may also 
 be permitted to ask how far the publishers of these books are ac- 
 quainted with their origin, history, and constitution ; for of course 
 the publishers are equally with the author responsible to the public." 
 
 [Mr. Wills' reply we quote in full.] 
 
 To the Editor of the Pall Mall Gazette. 
 Sir, —I beg some space in your paper to reply to a charge which 
 your industrious coutinljutor has preferred against a novel of mine 
 entitled "The Love that Kills." His attack is short, but contains 
 mis-statement. I beg therefore to oflFer to your readers the following 
 justification : 
 
170 WILLS. 
 
 Ist. The whole bent of the work is altered — the first volume being 
 wholly recoustructed, not " page for page the same," but full of new 
 matter. The third volume is almost wlioUy new, contaming the rising 
 and rebellion of '48. In " Life's Foreshadowings " the leading character 
 is a scientific man, whose end is to discover a certain planet, the pre- 
 sence of which he suspects. In "The Love that Kills," the leading 
 character is an Irish agitator, who takes part in the rebellion of '48, 
 from its first rising to its close j and this change is radical throughout 
 the book. 
 
 2nd. The material I have employed was taken from an obscure 
 and ephemeral work, my first crude effort, in the tliree-volume form 
 for which I never received a shilling, and which with the reading pub 
 lie was a failure. 
 
 I believe I was thoroughly justified in using such material, and 
 endeavouring to throw it into a readable mould ; and also I believe 
 that the work is newer than many a new drama. 
 
 In no conceivable way have I wronged my late publishers, Messrs, 
 Hurst and Blackett, who have had from me the best I could offer in 
 literary work. 
 
 Finally, I have to exonerate Mr. Tinsley from any knowledge what, 
 soever of the imported materials in the work, and if there be blame 
 in what I have done, I take the whole responsibility.— I am, Sir, 
 yom's obediently, W. G. Wills. 
 
 OUR NAUGHTY NOVELISTS. 
 II.— Mr. W. G. Wills. 
 
 This gentleman is in rather a worse case than Mrs. Wood. Tn the 
 fii-st place he has not the advantage of being a woman. In the next 
 place he has the extraordinary disadvantage of having "taken in" his 
 publisher as well as the pubUc. Mr. Tinsley informed us yesterday 
 that every line of "The Love that Kills," when he bought the copy, 
 right was in vianuscrlpt ; though to give it that marketable appear- 
 ance Mr. Wills must have copied page after j)age — whole chapters 
 verbatim — from ' 'Life's Foreshadowings, " a book which he had already 
 sold to Messrs. Hurst and Blackett. The " explanation " which Mr, 
 Wills favours us with to-day can have no weight, however, with 
 anybody who has had an opportunity of comparing the two books- 
 His own view of the matter is better explained in a second letter 
 (addressed to us), which runs as follows : 
 
 To assist your critic in detecting the perfectly new matter in Vol. 
 1. — apart from reconstruction and the many modifications by which I 
 have endeavoured to obtain story interest — I give the pages here-

 NOT AT ALL A NEW NOVEL. 
 The rapidity with which certain novelists produce what are called 
 their " works " has long been a matter of astonishment. To write 
 two, three, or four stories a year has become a common achievement, 
 though not so common yet that we have ceased to wonder at the 
 facility of a Braddon or the fertility of a Wood, and to tremble lest 
 the fine brains of those esteemed writers should suffer through their 
 feverish anxiety to keep on amusing, and elevating, and instructing 
 mankind. Never without a pang have we read that a " new novel " 
 from the author of " Lady Audi ay's Secret" or of "East Lynne" was 
 in the press — confident as we are that those ladies write more than 
 they ought, really. Nor have their best friends been silent on the 
 subject. Again and again have the most favourable critics suggested 
 that such rapid workmanship imperilled the writers' reputation, and 
 must inevitably tell iipou their faculties. 
 
 But it is not our object now to expatiate upon the ine'S'itable mis- 
 chief of over in-oduction. On the conti'ary, our glad task is to show 
 that the most fertile novelist may be contemplated without the 
 slightest apprehension that the clever creature is killing herself. It 
 may be, of course, in any particular case, that a constant and abound- 
 ing efflorescence of genius is tending to early exhaustion. Neverthe- 
 
WOOD. 173 
 
 less, he is not human who will not rejoice with us in the discovery 
 that there is no necessary connection between producing three novels 
 a year and descent to an early tomb. No, not even in the case of 
 female novelists — of weak woman. Nay, less in their case apparently ; 
 a bit of information which will cause every manly breast to swell 
 with satisfaction. 
 
 The explanation of all this is curiously simple. There is a modest 
 little domestic virtiie known as management — a ^'irtue whiclx has 
 hitherto been thought to culminate in such a revival of cold mutton 
 as will please a palate tolerably dull. It is pre-eminently a female 
 virtue ; and, from constant exercise throughout the round of woman's 
 life, is often brought to a high pitch of perfection. Now, strangely 
 enough, it seems never to have occuiTcd to the critics that a quality 
 which in female hands performs wonders in the kitchen, miracles in 
 the wardrobe, may (also in woman's hands) be turned to good account 
 in literature. Nobody seems to have reflected that management, a 
 dexterous dealing with cold characters as with cold mutton, may ex- 
 plain the surprising number of stories which our most admired female 
 novelists turn out. To be sure, we have seen some such suspicion set 
 down in black and white in the case of Miss Braddon lately, but 
 there is a good deal of confusion here ; and no adequate idea of what 
 may be done by management in novel-making seems to have been 
 caught. We are fortunate in the discovery of another case, which is 
 not only beautifully clear in itself, but one that may be found to 
 illustrate the whole art and mystery of the matter. 
 
 We have before us two novels. One is ' Lady Adelaide's Oath,' by 
 the Mrs. Henry Wood, a story which is only this month concluded in 
 a London magazine, and which also has just been published as a new 
 novel. The other is the "The Castle's Heir," by Mrs. Henry Wood, 
 published in Philadelphia "from the author's manuscript" five years 
 ago. ' Lady Adelaide's Oath ' is issued in three well-printed volumes, 
 for which the public is charged thirty-one shillings and sixpence. 
 'The Castle's Heir' is j)ublished in two volumes at fifty cents apiece; and 
 this " entire new and copyright " work is illustrated into the bargain. 
 No doubt the volumes are stitched in a horrible paper cover ; no 
 doubt the work itself is printed in the large-page double-column form 
 which has been hideously vulgarized in England by the ' Mysteries of 
 London,' 'Ada the Betrayed,' and scores of other publications which 
 have been the delight and the destruction of factory girls for a long 
 generation. Moreover, it must be conceded that the illustrations are 
 of the wretchedest kind — of precisely the same character, in fact, as 
 those which appear in our own penny romances, only a little more 
 feeble, a little more vulgar. But consider the difterence in the price ! 
 Both, be it remarked, are by the same author ; and what is more, 
 they are the same story! 'Lady Adelaide's Oath,' the new novel 
 
174 WOOD. 
 
 just publislicd hy Mr. Bentley, is * The Castle's Heir,' originally pub- 
 lished iu Philadelphia live years ago. The jjlot is the same, the 
 Bcenes are the same, the characters are the same. There is no diffe- 
 rence but the difTereuce which comes of " rewriting"— that is to say, 
 of piulding out here, touching up there, curtailing in another place : 
 the patlding being l»y far the most obvious operation. 
 
 [The Reviewer here quotes parallel i)assages]. 
 
 However, we never intended to enter into any criticism of the story. 
 All we proposed to do we have done, in showing that the wonderfully 
 " fcrtils resource" and the astonishingly ' facile pen" may, in some cases 
 at any rate be explained by a nack of furbishing up old trash and selling 
 it on the strength of a reputation. About the honesty of this mode 
 of Ijusiness we express no opinion ; an acbniring public may decide 
 for themselves whether it is fair dealing to pass off to day as a "new 
 novel," a rechauff^e of riibbish written for the readers of penny ro- 
 mances years ago. We simply note the fact — and utter the warning. 
 Who will guarantee that Mrs. Wood has not managed her publishers 
 and her public in this way before ? Who will undertake to say that 
 she will not attempt the operation again ? Here is a story, ' The 
 Castle's Heir,' which was unknown in England till it was re-issued as 
 something else and as quite new. Now we observe that on the title- 
 page of the American edition Mrs. Wood is set down as the author 
 of three other stories which also, we believe, are unknown in Eng- 
 land : by which we mean th at they are not inscribed under their 
 original titles in the publisher's list of her productions. These are — 
 'Life's Secret,' ' The Mystery,' 'Earl's Heirs.' The question now 
 arises. Have we had these books also vmder other names ? Is ' Life's 
 Secret" "Elster's Folly" perchance? Is "The Mystery" "Oswald 
 Cray ?" We have a right to ask these questions— a right which the 
 authoress cannot deny. Should she, happily, be able to answer them 
 in the negative, we may then perhaps venture to demand that those 
 stories shall not be foisted upon the public at any future time as 
 " new novels " by the author of "East Lynne." — Pall Mall Gazette, 
 Feb. 28, 1867. 
 
 We have devoted a great deal of space to this matter, as coming 
 under the head of " Literary Frauds " (we are aware the term is 
 severe). If it admitted of more abbreviation, we should have been 
 better pleased ; after all, it is a most disagreeable task. 
 
 The lady defended herself in a long letter, which revealed some 
 interesting particulars, but, as the reviewer (P. M. G., March 6) 
 observed, left the matter much in the same state. The letter was 
 answered in the same paper. ' The answer concluded thus : — 
 
 "Therewith we dismiss the whole subject, in the enjoyment of a 
 tolerable confidence that Mrs. Wood may think it worth while in 
 future to tell the world whether any work of hers really is new or 
 
WUR— YS. 175 
 
 not. If anything remains to be said it is this : that when a woman 
 takes to writing for the public, she must be dealt with as a writer 
 alone. We must always be sorry when to do justice upon a woman's 
 works is to be severe, but justice must be done all the same."

 We have it from authority that Dr. Bernard never wrote one word

 also been informed that Mr. Skinner had the permission of a relative 
 of Dr. Bernard to use his (Dr. B. 's) name. We do not understand 
 what right the relative had to give the permission. Dr. Hermann

 Dr. Douglas, who exposed the Lauder forgeries, charged Bower 
 with a piece of sliamcful plagiarism, appropriating to himself the 
 work of De Tilleniont, a Freiicli historian, without notice or acknow- 
 ledgment. In order that there niiglit be no mistake. Dr. Douglas 
 printed a few chapters of Do Tillemont, page by page, with Bower, 
 and thus triumphantly exposed the fraud. Twenty pamphlets were 
 written in a controversy which followed.

 1858; 8vo; viii, 396. 
 
 The Athenaum, ia showing this work to be little more than a 
 wretched, badly written plagiarism of " Memoirs of Montrose, by 
 Mark Napier," begins with these observations: — "It is time that 
 some inquiry were made into the ethics of cheap publishing. As far 
 as such a movement furnishes (withoiit the infringement of private 
 rights) good literature at a moderate price to the public, every sen- 
 sible person will give it approbation and encouragement. But is the 
 pretence of cheapness and free use of that favoimte term ' the million ' 
 to justify practices which are condemned in all trades, and in htera- 
 ture are peculiarly dangerous. Is a dear book, of whatever merit, 
 to be looked on simply as raw material for the maniifacture of cheap 
 books ? ........

 cessor all that he dared, and ignored his existence as much as he 
 could."— Part I., 1S5S, p. 364.

 to whom its books and men were familiar, and being put forth (of 
 course anonymously) in the quaint old-faced letter of its period. Lord 
 Nugent took great delight in the success with which he was able, by 
 means of a copy elaborately stained with tobacco -juice, to pass it otf 
 upon his uncle, Mr. Thomas GrenviUe, no indifferent judge of such 
 matters, as a genuine piece of Commonwealth literature. — Memoir, p.

 si)eiit several hundreds of jwunds in these advertisements. Ko one

 KIRBY (C.) puLlislier. 
 
 In 1803 Hogg, the iniblisher, filed a Bill to restrain Kirhy from 
 pirating one of his works. It appears tliat Hogg was proprietor of a 
 work pnl)lislietl in monthly niunhers, commencing in August, 1802 
 imder the title of " Tlie Wonderful JNlagazine," by William Granger' 
 Esq., that name being (according to the Hill), as is usual in works of 
 that description, inserted in the title-page, merely as the nominal 
 author ; and, under an arrangement for that purjjose, the name of 
 the defendant, Kirby, was used as the publislier, and the uund^era 
 were sold at his shop uj^on commission, but the i)ublication was 
 under the management and at the expense of the plaintiff. The 
 undertaking proceeded in this manner until the publication of 
 the fifth number, when a dispute arose in consequence of an altera- 
 tion in the title. Kii'by refused to permit his name to appear to 
 the work any longer. In December a final settlement of accounts 
 took place, and the plaintiff circidated hand-biUs, dated 2uth 
 Dec, stating that the succeeding numbers would be x^ublished by 
 him, and the 6th No. would be published by him on Friday 
 next, and that number was accordingly published by him on 
 the 31st of December. On the 1st January, 1803, the 1st No 
 of a periodical work was published by the defendants Kirby 
 and Scott, imder a similar title, described as a " New Series Im- 
 proved." One of the arguments used by the defendants was that 
 the plaintiff was not entitled to protection, as he, on his title- 
 page, practised an imposition on the public by using the name of 
 Granger', Avho did not exist. On the other hand, it was contended 
 that the assumption of a fictitious name could not be con- 
 sidered a fraud upon the public, because it had to be done by 
 "the most respectable authors." But Lord Eldon said he had 
 considerable difficidty as to the false colours imder wlaich the 
 original publication appeared. Though it was very usual, he 
 could not represent it to his mind otherwise than as something 
 excessively like a fraud on the public. Kirby's publication was 
 restrained as a piracy and a breach of faith.

 while in reality they are the work of some hterary hack. It would 
 by no means be the fii-st that issued under Colburn's auspices.

 It will perhaps be useful to some of our readers who may desire further 
 information with regard to the authors herein mentioned, that such 
 may be found in Watts' Bibliotheca Britannica, which contains an 
 entry of almost every book published up to about 1820 : after tliis, 
 Lowndes' Bibliographer's Manual, by Bohn, should be searched, 
 and for religious pub. Darling's Cyclo. will be found useful ; The 
 English Catalogue, 1864 ; Stevens' Cat of American Books ; and 
 Roorback and 'Trubner's American Bib. Guides. AUibone's Diet, 
 of Eng. Lit. to 1859 will generally inform the reader whether an 
 author is in any of these. We frequently refer to Men of the Time 
 when an a\ithor is given in that work : our reference by no means

 which we have attempted, as 
 none is to he foxmd elsewhere. 
 His works seem to be in com- 
 parative obscurity, doubtless in 
 consequence of the early death 
 of the author. Books are like 
 children : they ref^uire fostering 
 and bringing up with the greatest 
 care : to give them birth is not 
 alone sufficient. Fortunate, there- 
 fore, is a departed author whose 
 works obtain intelligent editing. 
 He was of Irish birth, though 
 educated in England, and a stu- 
 dent of the Middle Temple, but 
 his time was eventually devoted 
 to literature, for at the age of 
 twenty-one he publishetl two 
 satirical poems — see Polypus 
 and Hogg (C) ; but even while 
 at school he wrote a play, with 
 prologue and epilogue, which 
 was performed before the master 
 and his family with so much 
 success that the master pro- 
 hibited any future dramatic per- 
 formances, fearing that he might 
 incur blame for encouraging too 
 much taste for the theatre. (N. 
 & Q. 1 S. viii.) The Comet, a 
 mock newspaper, 1808 [anon ?] ; 
 The Tarantula, or Dance of 
 Fools, a Squib, 1809 [anon ?] is 
 also attributed to him ; Woman, 
 a poem, 1810, published, as he 
 says in his preface to the 2ud 
 edit., 1818, "not at the 'request 
 of friends,' but contrary to their 
 opinion, ... it met with no suc-

 Coi/rux, Rev. Cliarles Caleb, was the 
 son of the Kev. Burfoot Colton, 
 canon residentiary of Salisbury, 
 Born about 1780, and educated 
 at Eton and Christ Church Col- 
 lege, Cambridge, where he took 
 his B.A. and M.A., and in due 
 course obtained a fellowship. 
 Ho was presented by his College 
 to the Curacy of Tiverton; in 
 ISIS he succeded to the united 
 livings of Kew and Petersham. 
 Colton tirst attracted notice by 
 a pamphlet on the " Sampford 
 Ghost," 1810 (for other works 
 see Watt. Bib. Brit.) See The 
 A u thor of Hypocrisy, 1819. Tlie 
 "Lacon" was first published in 
 1820-22, and has been frequently 
 republished ; it is from the edi- 
 tion of William Tegg, 1866, that 
 we obtain these particulars of 
 of Coltou's life: — He was a 
 a man of ready susceptibility, 
 but of very infirm principles, ec- 
 centric in manner, extravagant 
 in his habits, and irremediably 
 addicted to gambling and its at- 
 tendant vices. Having contrac- 
 ted debts to a large amount 
 chiefly for diamonds, jewellery, 
 and wines, a fiat of Banki'uptcy 
 was issued against him. Bewil- 
 dered l)y the number and gravity 
 of his pecuniary obligations, Col- 
 ton secretly embarked for tlie 
 United States, This haiipeuing 
 about the time of the murder of 
 Weare, it was at first stz'ougly 
 suspected that he too had fallen 
 by the hand of an assassin ; but 
 the secret of his whereabouts 
 soon oozed out, and in 1822 a 
 successor was appointed to his 
 living. Returning to Europe, 
 after a sojourn of some years in 
 America [where surely he must 
 
 have published something?] he 
 took up his abode in Paris, where 
 he was so successful in his gam- 
 bling 8i>eculatiou8, that in the 
 course of a year or two he ac- 
 quired a considerable fortune (it 
 is said £'25,000), but it was soon 
 dissipated. After a life chec- 
 quered by nearly every phase of 
 gootl and adverse fortune, prefer- 
 ring suicide to the endurance of 
 a painful surgical ojieration, he 
 blew his brains out at Fontainc- 
 bleau, in April, 1832 ; and this 
 was the act of the man who, in 
 his ' Lacon ' utters this aphor- 
 ism: — " The gamester, if he die 
 a martyr to his profession, is 
 doubly ruined. He adds his 
 soul to every other loss, and by 
 the act of suicide renounces 
 earth to forfeit heaven." 
 
 Colton, Rev. Calvin, b. 1789, Ame- 
 rica — 1857. He visited England 
 in 1801, where he remained for

 Sloane-st., Chelsea. M.of T., 1868. 
 Published several pieces while at 
 Cambridge in his teens. He and 
 his friend Mr. Thomas Wright 
 were the chief pioneers to revive 
 the taste for Early English Lite- 
 rature. Mr. Halliwell has more 
 particularly made Shakespeare 
 the study of his life. He brought 
 out a maguilicent and elaborately 
 annotated and illustrated edition 
 of his favourite author in 16 folio 
 volumes. Perhaps no literary 
 man living has ever seen so many 
 books through the press as writer 
 and editor. Having pecuniary 
 means, he has followed no pro- 
 fession. A list of upwards of 
 fifty of his works, &c., will be 
 found in Alliboue's Diet, of Eng. 
 Lit. He has also been a con- 
 stant contributor of valuable 
 notes to Notes and Queries. He

 wards in the printed book de- 
 partment, British Museum, a 
 short time after his friend J. 
 Hiimifreys Parry (now serjeant- 
 at-law). Having written some 
 articles that were considered 
 clever, he was advised to go 
 to the Bar. He accordingly 
 entered himself of the ^Middle 
 Temple, and was called in 1849. 
 He attended the Berkshire Ses- 
 sions, and obtained some success 
 at the Bar. The author of this 
 little work had the melancholy 
 satisfaction of seeing him a few 
 days before his death, to ask his 
 permission to make such use as 
 ■we required of some of his articles 
 in Sharpe's Lond. Mag., which 
 was reacbly granted. He pidi- 
 
 lished " The Life of Fielding . . ." 
 Hall, Virtue, and Co., 1855 (with 
 some bibliographical notes by 
 Mr. Thomas Watts in the Apjien- 
 dix). This is a capital biography, 
 replete with interesting particu- 
 lars, and information on contem- 
 porary writers. Mr. Lawrence 
 collected many notes for a second 
 eilition, and also, we have heard, 
 for a Life of Smollett. He was 
 on the staff of the Weekly Dis- 
 patch for many years, and, we 
 believe, contributed to other 
 periodical publications, and was 
 also editor of the Lawyer's Com- 
 panion, Stevens and Sons, 18(>4 
 to 1868. During a short stay at 
 Boidogne, he was seized with an 
 attack of dropsy, which necessi- 
 tated his immediate return. The 
 disease had invaded his system 
 for some years, and had rendered 
 him less active and more disin- 
 clined to any kind of work than 
 he was during his better days of 
 health. He died at his chambers 
 in the Temple on the 25th of 
 October, 1867. A Barrister.

 Madden, D. 0., b. 1815, Ireland— 
 1852, the son of a merchant, of

 given up to literary pursuits, in 
 which he eventually wore him- 
 self out, so that he may almost 
 be said to have died of exhaus- 
 tion of the brain. From a whim 
 somewhat similar to that of Cap- 
 tain Marryat, Madden desired 
 that no public notice should be 
 taken of his death, and conse- 
 quently there is none in any of 
 the newspapers, nor in the Gent. 
 Mag., or Annual Register. The 
 Athenfcum, however, was not 
 bound to be silent, and in 1859 
 (ii. 209, 246) it gave a short but 
 interesting notice of his literary 
 labors. Ireland and its Rulers 
 since 1839, appears to be his 
 first autonjauous work ; but he 
 was chietiy addicted to the ano- 
 nymous and pseudonymous. For 
 the sake, it is said, of distin- 
 guishing himself from another 
 Madden he wrote his name Mad- 
 dyn. The man who desired no 
 obituary memoirs changed his 
 name that he might be known !

 Phillips, Sir Richard, Knight, one 
 of the most extraordinary cha-

 world, and of considerable energy, 
 b. 1707, England— 1840. He set 
 out in life with a pseudonym, for 
 we are told (Gent. Mag.) that his 
 original namewasPhilipRichards. 
 He was brought up with an uncle, 
 a brewer, in Oxford-street, but a 
 passion for literature and philo- 
 sophy led him to detach himself 
 from his family connections. He 
 afterwards became a schoolmaster 
 in Leicester, and it was no doubt 
 from the experience thus ob- 
 tained that he was enabled to 
 write the school books which 
 obtained so much celebrity under 
 the different names he assumed. 
 Being tired of schooling, how- 
 ever, he opened a hosiery shop, 
 but, thinking that " politics 
 were as profitable an article as 
 he could deal in, " he established 
 The Leicester Herald, which was 
 a success. Little is known of 
 the ups and downs of his life, so 
 little indeed that we camiot 
 vouch for anything herein con- 
 tained ; the diilerent notices of 
 him appear to be all imautheutic. 
 Mr. Timbs, however, has pro- 
 mised a truthfid account, and 
 until that appears we must be 
 content to propagate error. It 
 is much to be regretted that he 
 destroyed the journal of his life 
 which he commenced. ' He might 
 have put many things recorded 
 of him in a better light — we 
 doubt whether he could have put 
 them in a worse. He was through 
 life a vegetarian, which did not 
 prevent his living the period 
 allotted to man. In 1793 he was 
 prosecuted for selling Paine's 
 Rights of Man, and suffered a 
 year's imprisonment. When his 
 terra had expired, he sold his

 share in his newspaper. Shortly 
 after his premises in Leicester 
 were consumed by a tire, and, 
 oddly enough, he was insured to 
 the full amount — at least, so 
 says our authority. He then 
 went to Loudon, and opened a 
 hosier's shop. His next venture 
 was a literary one, in the shape 
 of The Monthly Magazine, which 
 he owned for thirty years. He 
 was elected sheriff in 1807, and 
 received the honour of knight- 
 hood in 1808. His activity in 
 office was very considerable, and 
 he did much good. In 1809 he 
 again got into difficulties, and 
 all his copyrights were sold, 
 though he was enabled to re- 
 purchase some. He was a most 
 extraordinary mixture of prin- 
 ciples and no principles, of 
 honesty and dishonesty. As we 
 have observed in N. and Q., his 
 literary ventures must be highly 
 curious, particularly those which 
 relate to the manufacture of 
 books. But we shall probably 
 never know the real truth on the 
 subject, and shall therefore have 
 to put up with conjectures, which 
 generally result in a thing being 
 made outwoi-se than it probably 
 is. Watt, in his Bib. Brit., mixes 
 him up with his namesake and 
 contemporaiy the chemist. The 
 following are all the works we 
 have been able to collect which 
 he jjublished in his ovra name : — 
 1. On the Practices of Anony- 
 mous Critics, 1806 ; 2. A Letter 
 to the Livery of London, relative 
 to the views of the writer in

 he made such progress in draw-

 to send him to London that he 
 might study there. In 1801 he 
 set up as a portrait painter ; but 
 he very soon determined to re- 
 liucpush a profession in which he 
 had no hopes of success; and a 
 favorable opjiortimity occurring, 
 on Lord Valentia's visiting India, 
 Salt accompanied his lordship, 
 and did not return to London 
 until 1806, after an ab.seuce of 
 four years and four months. He 
 then prepared an account of his 
 travels for the press, which he 
 eventually pnljlished. He also 
 published several other works of 
 value. He was Consul-Gcneral in

 About 1836 Mr. Schiller, who 
 was then residing at Hull, was 
 associated with E. J. Loder in 
 producing several songs, which 
 were very jjopular at the time, 
 and have been frequently re- 
 printed. Among them we have 
 The Ivy, The Outlaw, The For- 
 rester's Bride, Fair Alice. He 
 was the musical critic to the 
 Manchester Musical and Di-ama- 
 tic Review, and also contributed 
 anonymously to a serial, "The 
 Life and Adventures of a British 
 Actor," and a song, which we be- 
 neve was never set to music, on 
 Napoleon I. Mr. Schiller is also 
 an inventor, and has patented 
 a method for " submerging deep 
 sea Telegraphic Cables." He is 
 the father of the accomplished 
 pianist, Miss Madeleine Schil- 
 ler. In his profession of an 
 artist he is more particularly 
 known for producing remarkably 
 successful likenesses from des- 
 cription of deceased persons. The

 says, " it is a pity la<ly-novel-

 they do not understand ; for we 
 do not really think Miss Tho-

 certainly affects — the language

 without coupling his name with 
 that of the British Museum 
 Library. We have so fully given 
 our opinions on this subject in 
 our Bibliogiam on J.-M. Qu^rard, 
 that we shall not dilate upon 
 them here. Mr. Watts has been 
 a contributor to numerous perio- 
 dicals and cyclopaedias, generally, 
 we believe, anonymously. He 
 was appointed to the important 
 post of Keeper of the Printed 
 Books in the British Museum in 
 1866, and his chief energies have 
 thus been devoted to the public 
 service, the value of which lite- 
 rary students fully appreciate.

 slic was bom about 1820. She 
 \va3 married, at an early aee, to 
 a gentleman connected witli the 
 shipping trade. She commenced 
 her literary career as contributor 
 to the New Monthly Magazine.

 autliority, M. of T., 1868— The 
 A uthor of East Lynne. (This lady 
 is not the Mrs. Henry Wood,

 the son of a surgeon, at onetime

 sex Hospital, who afterwards re- 
 moved to O.xfordjWhereMr.Wood 
 was educated, at Merton College. 
 The diiferent appointments he 
 has held will be found in Crock- 
 ford's Clerical Directory. He 
 originally employed a pseudonym 
 for any bagatelles, as he only 
 desired to be identified with 
 works on Natural History. We 
 have, however, lately seen the 
 disguise thrown off. He has dis- 
 tinguished himself by the pro- 
 duction of several goodly tomes 
 yearly since 1853, having fairly 
 earned the title to belong to 
 what Mr. Edward Edwards 
 calls "the honourable craft of 
 book-makers." The latest work 
 announced is his Bible Animals, 
 1868, for which we may safely 
 predict an immense sale. For-
