 Babylon last Thursday, and have been in what seems to me a 
 sort of whirl ever since, for changes, scenes and stimulus which 
 would be a trifle to others are much to me." The letter gives 
 her experiences at the home of Mr. Smith, of Smith & Elder, 
 and her likes and dislikes are frankly written down. At the 
 close she mentions meeting Thackeray, in the words, "I have 
 seen Thackeray!" Partly unpublished. 
 
 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF CHARLOTTE BRONTE'S 
 PREFACE TO "JANE EYRE." 
 
 4. BRONTE (CHARLOTTE). Manuscript of the Preface 
 to the Second Edition of "Jane Eyre," in which she dedi- 
 cates 1 the book to Thackeray and eulogizes his Literary work. 
 Written on 6 pages of blue paper of 12mo size, and signed 
 * ' Currer Bell. ' ' Bound in brown levant morocco. 
 
 * Thackeray was both surprised and deeply touched when 
 Charlotte Bronte published this preface, for it was the first 
 definite tribute to his genius from an authoritative source. 
 
 The tribute was so graceful and at the same time so con- 
 vincing that he was conscious of its sincerity at once and, as 
 he writes to his friend Williams at the time: "I am quite 
 vexed that by some blundering I sh'd have delayed answering 
 Currer Bell's enormous compliment so long. I didn't Jcnow what 
 to say in reply: it quite flustered and upset me is it true I 
 wonder?"

 Original Drawings by W. M. Thackeray. 
 
 Charlotte Bronte wrote to W. S. Williams, on March llth, 1848, a 
 letter, from which we quote: 
 
 "You will not easily find a second Thackeray. How Tie can 
 render, with o few black lines and dots, shades of expression so fine, 
 so real: traits of character so minute, so subtle, so difficult to seize 
 and fix, I cannot tell I can only wonder and admire. Thackeray 
 may not be a painter, but he is a wizard of a draughtsman; touched 
 with the pencil, the paper lives. And then his drawing is so refresh- 
 ing : after the wooden limbs one is accustomed to see portrayed by 
 commonplace illustrators, his shapes of bone and muscle clothed 
 with flesh, correct in proportion and anatomy, are a real relief. All 
 is true in Thackeray. If Truth were again a goddess, Thackeray 
 should be her high priest." 
 
 "The pictures tell their own story. They are the contents of 
 some of our old portfolios $ scrap books where they have been all 
 these years. 
 
 Anne Ritchie. ' ' [Lady Anne 
 Isabella Thackeray Ritchie] 
 
 19. THACKERAY (W. M.). Two ORIGINAL PENCIL 
 SKETCHES of "Miss Raiby," the Doctor's niece, evidently pre- 
 liminary studies of the illustration which finally appeared in 
 "Doctor Birch." One on each side of a 4to sheet, mounted 
 on a mat, and bound in red levant morocco, gilt, gilt edges, by 
 Riviere. 
 
 * This is the original of the delightful drawing published for 
 the first time in Lady Ritchie's Biographical Edition of her 
 Father 's Works, and called there, ' ' Rough Study of Mother 
 & Child." 
 
 20. THACKERAY (W/ M.). FIVE PENCIL AND WATER- 
 COLOR DRAWINGS, forming the original illustrations of Doctor 
 Birch, neatly mounted in sunk mounts, and bound in. 4to, in 
 dark red levant morocco, by Riviere. 
 
 * The pictures illustrate: 
 
 (1) The "Dear Brothers," with five lines in pencil. 
 
 (2) The drawing for "The Pirate," showing Duval, one of 
 the older pupils, holding up the small boy with the tarts. 
 
 (3) Original pencil drawing by Thackeray of the plate, "Home, 
 Sweet Home," ilustrating how "Hewlett" compels little 
 "Nightingale" to sing him to sleep to the strains of 
 ' ' Home, Sweet Home. ' ' 
 
 (4) A sketch for Miss Birch's Flower Garden. 
 
 (5) "Miss Birch's Flower Garden," a highly finished and 
 carefully executed drawing, showing interesting differences 
 from the published plate. Beneath, written in Thackeray's 
 autograph, is a description, which also differs from that in 
 the printed text, as follows: 
 
 Miss Joper (known as Miss Birch in the published version), 
 The Honorable Fluke Plantagenet (Plantagenet Gaunt 
 in the book). (In the flower garden where only the Par- 
 lour Boarders go.) 
 
 Plantagenet (gives a poke with his stick to Miss J. who 
 happens to be watering her plants and of course does not 
 see him come) "Crck rck!" 
 
 Miss J. "Lor Plantagenet! get away you troublesome 
 creature ! ' ' 
 
 Plantagenet. "He He!"

 * Remarkably fine copy of the FIRST EDITION, in the original 
 covers, with the etching of Napoleon lying in state, which has 
 never been reprinted in any of his works. This pamphlet 
 appeals to both the collectors of Thackerayana and Napoleona. 
 The above copy is a specially fine one, without fox marks, and 
 with the back intact, no copy in this condition having been 
 offered for sale for many years: the Lambert copy having been 
 without a back. It has been carefully compared with the copy 
 in the Library of the British Museum in London. It contains 
 the inscription, ' ' Tomb in the Chapel of the Invalides ' ' in full 
 under the frontispiece, usually missing, as, for instance, in the 
 facsimile contained in this collection. 
 
 Thackeray had not yet become famous at the time he wrote 
 this pamphlet. He had gone to Paris in December, 1840, to 
 witness the ceremonies in connection with the interment of the 
 remains of Napoleon brought from St. Helena to rest in the 
 Hotel des Invalides. The little book was bitterly criticised by 
 "The Times." Thackeray replied, "There now is the Times 
 newspaper, which the other day rated your humble servant for 
 publishing an account of one of the great humbugs of modern 
 days, viz., the late funeral of Napoleon Well then, the funeral 
 of Napoleon was a humbug, as Titmarsh wrote; and a still 
 better proof that it was a humbug was this, that nobody bought 
 Titmarsh's book ..." Edward Fitzgerald wrote, in 1841, 
 ' ' Have you read Thackeray 's litle book, ' The Second Funeral 
 of Napoleon?' If not pray do, and buy it, and ask others to 
 buy it; as each copy sold puts 7%d in T.'s pocket, which is 
 very empty just now, I take it. I think this book is the best 
 thing he has done."

 * One of the finest copies ever offered for sale, with every 
 part as clean as when issued by the publisher, all the backs per- 
 fect, and (with the following exceptions) each part of the FIRST 
 ISSUE, and agrees with the collation published in the Boston 
 Evening Transcript, Sept. 2, 1908. Part I. Page 2 of cover. 
 The collation calls for "Contents of No. I [etc.]," while thia 
 copy has only "Contents" on the first line. The Bradbury & 
 Evans catalogue at the end of No. I agrees perfectly with the 
 collation, but has a pencil note at the top ' ' 2nd State of this 
 Advertisement. " It is printed on pink tinted paper. No. XVI 
 has " [Price, Is." for "Price, Is." as required by the collation. 
 Nos. XVII, and XIX & XX have no dates below the imprint. 
 No. XVII, the first line of the advertisement on p. 3, reads ' ' To 
 Ladies," according to the collation this should be on page 4, 
 but this is a printer's error in the collation. 
 
 This copy contains all other points of the first issues; the 
 "Vanity Fair" on p. 1 in rustic type, the suppressed woodcut 
 of the Marquis of Steyne, the advertisement of ' ' The Great 
 Hoggarty Diamond," etc., etc. Four numbers contain the origi- 
 nal tissue paper between the plates, showing an offset from the 
 plates. A few plates slightly foxed as usual.

 * INSERTED is AN INTERESTING 1 PAGE A. L. S. FROM THE 
 AUTHOR TO DR. ELLIOTSON (ix> whom Thackeray dedicated the 
 second volume of the above work), dated at Kensington, Tues- 
 day Evening: "How can you ask such a Touck as I am to 
 eat a mere % buck? and the worst of it is that I am going to 
 refuse even that. I want to go out of town for my health's 
 sake, and try Dr. Air and Dr. Thalassa. You are a good doctor 
 'but I want, I say, to try the latter," etc. THERE ARE INSERTED, 
 
 ALSO, ONE PAGE OF THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF ' ' PENDENNIS, ' ' 
 AS IT WAS PRINTED ON P. 31 OF VOL. 2, AND THE ORIGINAL PEN 
 AND INK DRAWING OF THE WOODCUT WHICH HEADS CHAPTER V, 
 VOL. 2, AND A PENCIL DRA'WING. 
 
 Thackeray referred twice to Dr. Elliotson in his published 
 works. In "Eebecca & Eowena, " he says: "But passing many 
 hours on a sofa of late, recovering from a fever and ordered ~by 
 Dr. Elliotson (whose skill fy friendship rescued me from it) on 
 no account to put pen to paper, I, of course, wished to write 
 
 immediately " And again, I know of a kind physician 
 
 (who tends his patient without ever thinking of a fee) "but I 
 won't do him the ill service of mentioning his name here."

 * First Edition, a good copy; now very scarce. 
 
 In the preface, which has never been reprinted in his works, 
 Thackeray says, ' ' The tale, which, was always a favourite with 
 its writer, was not particularly well received at the time of its* 
 first appearance. ' ' It was written at the time of great domestic 
 troubles, his wife having become afflicted with a mental dis- 
 order.

 * FINE COPY, clean as when issued. One of the scarcest of 
 the small pieces by the great novelist. It was originally pub- 
 lished in the "Keepsake," for 1849, and Thackeray evidently 
 had a few copies separately issued for his friends. The type 
 was reset for the issue and a few printer's errors corrected.

 * INSERTED is A VERY FINE 4 PP. A. L. S. FROM THACKERAY 
 TO MRS BAYNE, written during his lecture tour in the United 
 States, dated, Clarendon Hotel, New York, April 5, 1853; to- 
 gether with the original envelope, and a visiting card "Mr. 
 Thackeray, Miss Thackerays, 36 Onslow Sqr., Brompton," with 
 
 ' the words ' ' So sorry ' ' marked in pencil. Mr. Thackeray 
 writes: "I received your kind letter at Washington, where I 
 passed some three weeks pleasantly enough among the ' great 
 folks of the Eepublic .... 7 saw the two presidents (they came 
 together to my lecture) and dined at the White House in the 
 reign of the late sovereign, Mr. Fillmore. Then I went away 
 into Virginia, crossing the pretty Eappahanna (where you 
 know the Esmond family had their large estates). It gave me 
 a queer sensation to see the place, and I fancied the story was 
 actually true for a minute or two and that one might ride over 
 yonder hills and come upon the old Mansion House, where the 
 little Colonel lived with his jealous wife .... 7 have come away 
 from the South not so horrified as perhaps I ought to be with 
 slavery, .which in the towns is not by any means a horrifying 
 institiition . ... It is the worst economy, slavery, that can be, 
 the clumsiest and most costly domestic and agricultural machine 
 that ever was devised. Uncle Tom's Cabin and the tirades of 
 the Abolitionists mayn't destroy it, but common sense infallibly 
 will before long .... The luxury of this city is prodigious; and 
 surely Solomon in all his glory or the Queen of Sheba when she 
 came to visit him wa$ not arrayed so magnificently as these New 
 York damsels, ' ' etc.

 ten by THACKERAY on Cornhill stationery, 1 p. 12mo, "The 
 Syrens and their Mothers, ' ' which does not appear to have been 
 printed. ' ' When the young Syrens set their green caps at the 
 old Greek captain and his crew, waving and beckoning him with 
 their sweetest pipes I make no doubt, that the Mother Syrens 
 were behind the rocks (with their dyed fronts and cheeks 
 painted so as to resist the wet) and catting out 'Now Halcyone, 
 my child, that air from the Pirata! Now Glankopis, dear f 
 look well at that old gentleman at the helm! Salhykolpos love! 
 there's a young sailor on the maintop, who will tumble right 
 down into your lap if you beckon him!' And so on and on. 
 And I laughed a wild shrieTc of despair. For I too have been on 
 the dangerous island, and came away thence mad furious want- 
 ing a strait waistcoat." 
 
 A delightful Thackeray item.

 you on Saturday I was sent to bed with one of those fits of 
 spasms that assail me about a dozen times a year, and am still 
 on my ~bacTc," etc.

 years later, the master succumbed to a similar attack, being found 
 lifeless in bed on the Christmas morning of 1863.

 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF "DOCTOR BIRCH." 
 (See No. 66.)
 
 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF THE "EPILOGUE" TO 
 DOCTOR BIRCH. 
 
 65. THACKERAY (W. M.). DOCTOR BIRCH and his 
 Young Friends. Text of the Smith Elder Edition, together 
 with the ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT of the first draft of the 
 ''Epilogue." Colored plates. 4to, red morocco, gilt top, un- 
 cut ; in a cloth slip-case. 
 
 * The original draft of the ' ' Epilogue ' ' was written on one 
 page, 4to, and consists of only seven stanzas as compared with 
 eleven in the printed text; in fact, it is a mere outline of the 
 theme as finally developed, and shows in its interlineations and 
 corrections, the great difficulties Thackeray had to contend with 
 in writing verse, for example: 
 
 "For rich or poor for good or ill, 
 
 Let young or old accept their part, 
 
 And bow themselves to Heavens high will 
 
 And bear it with an honest heart." 
 
 In this manuscript the author has altered it to read: 
 "Come wealth or want, come good or ill, 
 
 Let young and old accept their part, 
 And bow before the Awful Will 
 
 And "bear it with an honest heart." 
 
 There is inserted an 8 pp. A. L. S. from Mrs. Ritchie, trans- 
 mitting this manuscript and giving some interesting details of 
 the disposal of her father's drawings and manuscripts. 
 
 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF DOCTOR BIRCH. 
 
 66. THACKERAY (W. M.). DOCTOR BIRCH and his 
 Young Friends. Nearly all of the ORIGINAL. MANUSCRIPT, in- 
 cluding the "Epilogue." Together with a transcript of the 
 first draft of the Epilogue, in the autograph of Mrs. Ritchie 
 (Thackeray's Daughter). Illustrated with proof plates from 
 the Smith Elder Edition. The missing portions supplied from 
 the text of the First Edition. Mounted to 4to, and bound in 
 levant morocco, gilt, gilt edges, by Roger de Coverley. 
 
 Lond. 1849 
 
 * The only parts lacking are the three chapters entitled : "A 
 Word about Miss Birch, Briggs in Luck, and A Young Fellow 
 Who is Pretty Sure to Succeed. ' ' There are 30 pages of the 
 original manuscript, containing many interesting corrections, 
 interlineations, etc. The "Epilogue," especially, contains two 
 stanzas inserted, and several lines altered, and on the back of 
 one sheet is a verse of four lines, each line of which contains 
 two less words than the printed text. 
 
 (See Illustration.)

 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF THE PINNER SPEECH. 
 
 67. THACKERAY (W. M.). SPEECH delivered at Pinner 
 at the Annual Festival to Commemorate the Establishment of 
 the Commercial Travellers' Schools. ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT,. 
 written on 8 pages, 8vo. With the printed text of the Speech 
 as reported in the "Examiner," January 2, 1858. 3 portraits 
 inserted. The whole mounted to 4to, and bound in red mo- 
 rocco, gilt, gilt top, in cloth slip case. 
 
 * An unusually clean manuscript, with but few corrections ; 
 but differing materially from the speech as reported. At one 
 point Thackeray refers to Dickens' Nicholas Nickleby: "When 
 the respected Mr. Squeers, of I/otheboys Hall, announces that 
 Tie proposes to take a limited number of pupils I should rather 
 say a number of limited pupils it is not because he is in love 
 with the little darlings that he does it, but because he designs to 
 extract a profit out of them. It always pains me to think of 
 the profits to be screwed out of the bellies of the poor little inno- 
 cents," etc. 
 
 THACKERAY-HOLMES CORRESPONDENCE. 
 
 68. THACKERAY (W. M.). A Collection of Autograph 
 Letters by W. M. Thackeray, consisting of 6 A. L. S. to Miss

 Alman when the novelist was in New York, in 1853; 2 other 
 photographs, one showing him seated; and other matter. 
 Bound together in a large 8vo volume, in dark green levant, 
 gilt edges, by Riviere. 
 
 * The six letters by Thackeray were not included in any of 
 the collections of his letters, and are of great interest. Of Miss 
 Holmes, Lady Eitchie has written recently: "Miss Holmes 
 I remember very well. She was an ardent Roman Catholic, and 
 at one time I think she was most anxious to convert my Father. 
 She was an excellent musician, and lived with us for a short 
 time in Young Street."
