 PREFACE 
 
 The three consignments of scarce Books, Autograph Letters, 
 and Manuscripts which are here offered to the collectors of 
 literary rarities form the most interesting and important sale 
 that has been held in this country since the dispersal of Mr. 
 Hoe's great library. 
 
 For many years Mr. Henry E. Huntington has been the 
 largest individual buyer of rare books in the world. Long ago 
 he acquired literary treasures from the McKee, Poor, Daly, 
 Heckscher, and other important sales; at the dispersal of the 
 Hoe Library he was by far the largest buyer, and since then 
 he has acquired en bloc no less than four magnificent libra- 
 ries the great collections made by the Duke of Devonshire, 
 Mi-. E. Dwight Church, Mr. Beverley Chew, and Mr. Frederick 
 W. Halsey. It followed that there were many duplications, 
 even' of excessively rare volumes which collectors are anxious 
 to acquire, and Mr. Huntington decided to dispose of many of 
 them. The work of sorting, arranging, classifying, and cata- 
 loguing his great collections is under way. Only a few of the 
 duplicates are offered now, but additional sales will be ar- 
 ranged from time to time. 
 
 These books form the first session of this sale and consist 
 mainly of English Colored Plate Books of the Nineteenth Cen- 
 tury. Among the books illustrated by Alken are the extremely 
 rare First Editions of Ideas, Accidental and Incidental to 
 Hunting; the Memoirs of Mytton, Nimrod's Life of a Sports- 
 man, Apperley's The Chase and his Hunting Reminiscences, 
 and the fourteen volumes of The Annals of Sporting. Among 
 the many fine works illustrated by Cruikshank are the first 
 issue of the First Edition of The Humourist, a complete set of 
 the Comic Almanacs, and possibly the only copy in existence 
 of London Characters in the original printed boards. Among 
 Egan's works are Life in London, First Edition, Sporting 
 Anecdotes in the original binding, and a fine, large copy of the 
 rare First Edition of Life of an Actor. Among the many books 
 with Colored Plates by Rowlandson are Poetical Sketches, 
 
 -t 734353V
 
 Naples, Dance of Death, Vicar of Wakefield, Doctor Syntax, 
 Sentimental Journey, and Johnny Quas Genus. Among the 
 works of Surtees are Jorrocks 's Jaunts, Analysis of the Hunt- 
 ing Field, and a complete set of his Sporting Novels, all First 
 Editions. The beautiful condition, the fine bindings, and the 
 rarity of the issues will appeal to all collectors. Among the 
 miscellaneous books which Mr. Huntington has consigned are 
 collected sets of the First Editions of George Eliot and Charles 
 Lever, both series of Northcote's Fables, Westmacott's English 
 Spy, Fables of JEsop with illustrations by Bewick, Barbara's 
 Ingoldsby Legends, an unusually long run of Bentley's Miscel- 
 lany which Dickens edited, and many of the important books 
 by William Loring Andrews. 
 
 Mr. William K. Bixby sets forth as follows his reasons for 
 placing duplicates from his library and selections from his 
 large collections of autographs before his fellow collectors: 
 
 ST. Louis, Mo., January 30, 1916.

 DEAR SIRS: 
 
 During a long period of collecting I have acquired some duplicate 
 books, many manuscripts by the same authors, and many autograph 
 letters by the same writers, until the room in which I keep them has 
 been crowded to overflowing. To obtain more space, I have sent a large 
 quantity of literary material to you for sale. 
 
 For instance, I own several of Charles Eeade's manuscripts; I send 
 you "The Cloister and the Hearth." I have many manuscripts of 
 Henry D. Thoreau; I have sent some to you. And so with regard to 
 many other authors. In making selections I have included many im- 
 portant items, as I wish to have the sale an interesting one. 
 
 At the suggestion of a friend I have included two copies of each of 
 my privately printed books; I have never sold any of these and most of 
 them have been given to friends and public libraries. I also send one 
 copy of Hawthorne's Letters to His Wife, of which sixty .copies were 
 printed from my manuscripts by the Society of Dofobs of Chicago; the 
 members took fifty copies and I took ten. That Society also published a 
 Byron book from my manuscripts, of which I took ten copies, one of which 
 is included. The Franklin Club of St. Louis printed from my manu- 
 scripts an account of the Brown-Eeynolds duel, and I took ten copies of 
 which I send one. 
 
 Yours sincerely, 
 
 W. K. BIXBY. 
 
 Among the interesting and important books which Mr. 
 Bixby has sent are beautiful Illuminated Manuscripts of the 
 Fifteenth Century, two copies of Burns 's Poems, each with 
 
 4
 
 many corrections and additions in the autograph of the poet, 
 books from Hawthorne's library, Moore's Life of Byron, extra- 
 illustrated and extended with 250 Autograph Letters, many of 
 them by Byron and members of his family; the First Edition 
 of Keats 's Poems, rare Cruikshank items, and many privately 
 printed volumes. Among the autograph material are letters 
 by Nelson and the captains under him at Trafalgar which are 
 of the utmost interest. There are Kentucky documents by 
 Daniel Boone, Henry Clay, and others. Sixteen original 
 Orderly Books and Minutes of Councils are important Revo- 
 lutionary items. Among the Civil War material are nineteen 
 telegrams in the autograph of General Grant, dealing with 
 the capture of Richmond. There are very important auto- 
 graph letters from Byron, Carlyle, Dickens, Emerson, Frank- 
 lin, Fulton, Goethe, Hawthorne, John Paul Jones, Shelley, 
 Washington, and other celebrities. Mr. Bixby's consignment 
 is richest in the Original Manuscripts of distinguished authors. 
 Among those represented are Henry James, Daudet, Dumas, 
 Field, Fiske, Harte, Hawthorne, Haydn, Hazlitt, Hogg, 
 Holmes, Irving, Kipling, Lamb, Lever, Cotton Mather, John 
 Howard Payne, Poe, Riley, Scott, Southey, Swinburne, Tenny- 
 son, Thoreau, Verdi, Wilde, and Charles Reade, who is repre- 
 sented by the original manuscript of one of the greatest novels 
 in the language The Cloister and the Hearth. The Common 
 Place Book of Charles Lamb, containing seventy-seven pages 
 in his autograph, is an item of extraordinary importance. 
 There are unpublished letters and an unpublished poem by 
 him, and of equal interest are the original letters of Hazlitt 's 
 Liber Amoris, the original Journal of Mrs. Hazlitt, and other 
 material which goes with them. The duplicates and selections 
 from Mr. Bixby's collections form the second, third, fourth, 
 and part of the fifth sessions of the sale. 
 
 The last 166 lots are consigned by the Estate of Mr. E. 
 Dwight Church, whose great collection of Americana is now 
 part of the Library of Mr. Huntington. Most of these books 
 were once part of the Frederick Locker-Lampson collection 
 and among them are many great rarities in early English 
 literature. Byrd's Songs of Sundrie Natures, London: 1589, 
 is a complete set. No copy w r as in the Hoe or Huth sales of 
 
 5
 
 Churchyard's Miserie of Flaunders, 1579, and this sale also 
 contains his Light Bondell of Livly Discourses, 1580. John 
 Ford's Fames Memorial, 1606, is one of four known copies. 
 The Kalender of Shepardes, 1518, is one of three known copies. 
 Neither Mr. Hoe nor Mr. Huth owned a copy of Kendall's 
 Flowers of Epigrammes, London: 1577. Only two copies are 
 known of Lydgate 's Treatise of the Horse ; one is in this sale 
 and the other is in the Library of the University of Cam- 
 bridge ; it was printed by Wynkyn de Worde at Westminster 
 about 1499. Shakespeare's Henry the Fifth and his Lancaster 
 and York are third editions, printed in 1608 and 1619. Rey- 
 nold's Mythomystes, 1630, was not in the Hoe or Huth collec- 
 tion. These are only a few of the early English rarities. 
 Among more modern publications are First Editions of 
 Shelley, Swift, Tennyson, and Racine, a long line of Grolier 
 Club publications, a complete set in the original parts of 
 Rossetti's Germ, Hogarth's plates in the first states, and other 
 very desirable items.

 are too high a price to pay even for the first of national

 pers, the whole enclosed in blue levant morocco slip-case by

 * THE FIRST EDINBURGH EDITION. Presentation copy from 
 Mr. Bayley to J. Wadsworth, who has inscribed on fly-leaf a 
 Sonnet to the giver in appreciation of the gift. The autograph 
 of Wadsworth appears on title, from which another name has 
 been cut. 
 
 Presumably, this volume was Burns 's own copy before it 
 came into Mr. Bayley 's possession, as in 39 different places he 
 has filled in the names of persons and localities originally 
 printed with asterisks. At the end of the printed Poem ' ' Tarn 
 Samson 's Elegy ' ' Burns has added a verse entirely in his auto- 
 graph which he has indicated should be inserted before the last 
 two stanzas, as follows: 
 
 ' ' Here low he lies in lasting rest 
 Perhaps upon his mould'ring breast 
 Some spitefu' Moorfowl bigs her nest 
 
 To liatch and breed: 
 Alas, nae mair he'll them molest 
 
 Tarn Samson's deid."

 ' ' Where 'er I roam, whatever realms I see, 
 
 "My heart, untravell'd, fondly turns to thee;" etc. 
 
 ' ' This is the second day, my honored Friend, that I have 
 been on my farm. A solitary Inmate of an old smoky 
 ' Spence'; far from every Object I love or by whom I am be- 
 lov'd, nor any acquaintance older than yesterday except Jenny 
 Geddes the old mare I ride on; while uncouth Cares and novel 
 Plans hourly insult my awkward Ignorance and bashful Inex- 
 perience. There is a foggy Atmosphere native to my soul 
 in the hour of care, consequently the dreary Objects seem 
 larger than the life. Extreme Sensibility, irritated and preju- 
 diced on the gloomy side by a series of Misfortunes 4' Dis- 
 appointments at that period of my existence when the soul 
 is laying in her cargoe of ideas for the voyage of Life, is I 
 believe, the principal cause of this unhappy frame of mind." 
 
 Then follows the announcement that he is a husband, with 
 a description of his wife "a once much-loved and still much- 
 loved female" [Jean Armour]. 
 
 The margin is torn, where sealed, but this does not affect any 
 of the text. 
 
 304. BURNS (ROBERT). Autograph MS. Poem, signed 
 in two places, in full, "Robt. Burns." 2 pp. folio, Sept. 1791. 
 Five stanzas of four lines each. Slight tear in one margin,

 gurating a Bust to the Poet Thomson at Edna."

 BURNS' POEMS WITH HIS OWN AUTOGRAPH 
 CORRECTIONS. 
 
 305. BURNS (ROBERT). Poems. 8vo, half calf (no 
 title and hole in last leaf). [1792.] 
 
 * This is the identical copy of the first volume of the third 
 edition (published in 1792) of the Poems of Eobert Burns, 
 corrected by the Poet himself, for the publication of the last 
 edition of the Poems issued in his lifetime. This last edition 
 was printed by John Paterson in 1794, and the present volume 
 therefore contains the text as Burns finally left it. 
 
 This precious volume was originally in the possession of F. 
 Murdoch, corrector for the Press in the printing office of John 
 Paterson of Edinburgh, who printed the 1794 edition of the 
 Poems. Murdoch sent the volume to Archibald Constable, the 
 publisher, to present in turn to Mr. Cromek (doubtless as ma- 
 terial for his "Keliques of Burns," which appeared in 1808), 
 and the original autograph letter sent by Murdoch to Constable 
 relative to this corrected volume is inserted. While in Mur- 
 doch's possession a mouse nibbled some of the margins of the 
 leaves, and in his letter to Constable, Murdoch says : "A mouse 
 has made dreadful depredations on a number of the leaves 
 which was certainly unkind, considering the affectionate man- 
 ner in which the Poet has addressed one of the race." 
 
 On the back of Mr. Murdoch 's letter is a note concerning him 
 written by Archibald Constable, and on the fly-leaf, the latter 
 has written and signed in full a note reading: 
 
 ' ' This is the first volume of the third edition of Burns ' 
 Poems printed in the year 1792. And it is the identical copy 
 corrected purposely by the Author for the last edition pub- 
 lished in his lifetime and which was printed at Edinburgh by 
 John Paterson in the year 1794. Archibald Constable." 
 
 There are 42 corrections in all, 41 of which are by Burns. 
 They consist of changes of words, punctuation marks, and in 
 some instances of entire lines.

 tion, Explanatory Notes and Glossary. Portraits and fac- 
 similes. 2 vols. thick 8vo, boards, uncut. Rochester, 1903 
 
 * A WORK OF EXTRAORDINARY PERSONAL AND HISTORICAL 
 INTEREST. 
 
 Only 250 copies were printed by Mr. Bixby; these were ex- 
 clusively for private distribution and most of them were pre- 
 sented by him thirteen years ago to public libraries in this 
 country and Europe. The Journal was written when Burr 
 was in Europe, whither he had gone after his duel with Ham- 
 ilton, the collapse of his Southwestern enterprises, and his trial 
 and acquittal on the charge of treason. It was not written 
 with the expectation that it would be published; indeed, as he 
 explains, it was ' ' to talk from ' ' and not to be read. Soon after 
 Burr's death his biographer, Matthew L. Davis pretended to 
 print the Journal, but he omitted thousands of curious passages, 
 including all those in French, cut out whole pages in scores of 
 cases, and took the greatest liberty with the remainder of the 
 text, occasionally altering Burr's language and inserting words 
 that he never used. 
 
 Here, however, the Journal is printed exactly as Burr wrote 
 it, and all the suppressed passages have been restored. Burr 
 wrote with extraordinary freedom, and the Journal is a faith- 
 ful record of the life of a man of daring and intrigue, who 
 traveled all over Europe and was in daily association with men 
 and women in all ranks of life. 
 
 The introduction embodies a sketch of the extraordinary 
 career of Burr, written from new material; and there are elab- 
 orate notes which not only explain the text but give descrip- 
 tions of the important places that Burr visited and sketches 
 of the prominent rulers, statesmen, and literary characters 
 with whom he associated.

 * Mrs. Clarke was mistress of Duke of York from 1803-9 and 
 her indiscretions resulted in his being obliged to resign the 
 office of Commander-in-Chief of the British Army. The 
 printed "Memoirs" contain the letters addressed to her by 
 the Duke, for the originals of which Mrs. Clarke received 
 7000 cash and a pension of 400 a year. The present un- 
 bound copy apparently is one which escaped destruction when, 
 according to the National Dictionary of Biography, the entire 
 edition, excepting one copy deposited at Drummond's Bank, 
 was destroyed. 
 
 The manuscript ' ' Eecollections " are of later date than the 
 "Memoirs," and contain the history of the latter 's suppres- 
 sion. They embrace only the first volume, which is probably 
 all that was written, though three volumes are mentioned on 
 title.

 bers of Court Circles are used with the greatest freedom.

 to be a Review of the contributions for the past year, and 
 among them mentioning many of his own works as pioneers 
 in the literature of the Pacific Slope and the peculiar dialect 
 of Western mining life. He claims for the "Overland," 
 therefore, the honors as the medium for thus establishing a 
 new branch in American Literature.

 garding printer's proofs for Haw T thorne.

 line of a plot, the central theme of which deals with the 
 inevitable consequences of evil. An old scholar has a secret 
 of renewing youth and "grows backward," hoping in his 
 second youth to correct the great error of his past, "but finds 
 that the evil is ineradicable, unless he will pull up a great

 * "A man in Lancashire, icho swore so horribly, one day, 
 that a plane tree in front of his cottage is said to have

 or curious scraps of lore upon all occasions.

 "Herald" rescues the British Ship "Cornwallis." On the

 Hathorne, Salem, 1825" and "Nathaniel Hathorne, Bowdoin 
 College," and on the preceding page a few lines have been 
 added, also in the novelist's autograph. 
 
 On the fly-leaf is a long note by Julian Hawthorne regard- 
 ing this Log. He says in part: "This book became the com- 
 panion of his [the novelist's] childhood and boyhood. He 
 was in the habit of poring over it, and made up many im- 
 aginative stories for himself about the events of the voyage. 
 In particular he was interested in the fight with the French 
 Privateer. This is the only log book of Capt. Hathorne in 
 existence."

 entirely in Hawthorne's autograph. 4 pp. 4to. The Wayside, 
 July 2, 1863. 
 
 * The entire dedicatory letter to Franklin Pierce, com- 
 mencing, "To a Friend," which appeared in Hawthorne's 
 "Our Old Home." The dedication largely relates to the 
 author's impressions of England and somewhat qualifies an 
 asperity of sentiment expressed toward many things Eng- 
 lish. There are several minor differences between this and 
 the version published, and an entire change toward the end. 
 The final paragraph in this manuscript relates, not as in 
 the published dedication to the author's personal friend- 
 ship for Pierce, but to the great issues of the Civil War. 
 Referring to the Presidency, he says here, "Can it ~be that 
 no man shall hereafter reach that elevated seat! that its 
 platform which we deemed to be so firmly laid, has crum- 
 bled beneath it! that a chasm has gaped wide asunder, 
 into which the unbalanced chair of state is about to fall. 
 .... I might even deem it allowable for myself in the last 
 resort, to be content with half the soil that was once our 
 broad inheritance; .... and lohether the Union is to be 
 henceforth a living giant, or a mangled and dismembered 
 corpse, it will be said of you that this mighty polity or this 
 miserable ruin, had no more loyal, constant, or single- 
 minded upholder than Franklin Pierce." 
 
 The manuscript was originally in the Lccker-Lampson 
 library and has a footnote by the author's son, Julian, 
 "written by Nathaniel Hawthorne."

 575. HAWTHORNE (NATHANIEL). Manuscript. 22 
 lines of original draft from The Dolliver Romance, written by 
 Hawthorne on blank spaces of a letter addressed to him re- 
 questing his autograph. The notes are copied by Mrs. Haw- 
 thorne on same sheet. 2 pp. 8vo, [Novr. 1863?] 
 
 * The manuscript is of that passage at the end of the 
 first scene of the "Dolliver Romance," describing "those 
 seasons, happier than even these, when Pansie had bten 
 kissed and put to bed, and Grandsire Dolliver sat by his 
 fireside gazing in among the massive coals," etc. This first 
 draft differs only immaterially from the published version.

 HAWTHORNE'S OWN COPIES OF STATE TRIALS. 
 
 The following nine lots form a complete set of State Trials, 
 though the editions are not all uniform. The set was pre- 
 sented to Nathaniel Hawthorne by his publishers, Ticknor & 
 Fields, in 1863, the year which saw the publication of his 
 English work, "Our Old Home." Hawthorne drew on the 
 information contained in these volumes in connection with his 
 writings, and Mrs. Hawthorne, in a letter to her daughter Una 
 quoted in Julian Hawthorne's biography of his father, tells 
 of her husband's reading "in one of his huge books of the 
 English State Trials. ' ' Each volume, except the last, contains 
 the armorial bookplate of William Hammond and all have the 
 Bixby bookplate designed by E. D. French, except volume 7, 
 which contains the one by Spenceley.

 585. HAWTHORNE (NATHANIEL). Original manu- 
 script. 37 pp. (not consecutive), containing about 20,000 
 words of "Doctor Grimshawe's Secret," written in Concord, 
 1863. 
 
 * This highly important manuscript is accompanied by a 
 letter written by the author's son, Julian, regarding it. He 
 explains that Hawthorne made two studies of this romance, 
 the first being carried through to the end of the story; and 
 the latter only about half way, where the author's work 
 stopped. In the published version, edited by Julian, the re- 
 written first half was pieced to the latter half of the orig- 
 inal version. 
 
 Referring to the present 37 pp. Julian Hawthorne writes: 
 "They all belong to the first version; and are mainly occu- 
 pied with the author's speculations as to how the plot and 
 characters should be developed. These speculations form 
 an informal essay or discussion. The author would break 
 off to attack the problems that were perplexing him and the 
 
 attack would often be carried through several pages 
 
 It had been my intention to publish them as one of the most 
 curious and interesting side-lights upon the methods of a 
 
 great writer with which I am acquainted The lohole 
 
 group of sheets was afterward mislaid and have but just 
 come to light again." 
 
 The manuscript is closely written on 37 quarto pages, 
 numbered (irregularly) from 9 to 73.

 am much better within a short time and expect to go on im- 
 proving to a reasonable extent, which at one time, in my 
 secret mind, I hardly hoped for. ' ' 
 
 * The trip referred to in this letter was eventually under- 
 taken the following May. It was while traveling with his 
 friend at that time that Nathaniel Hawthorne died.

 morocco borders with gilt toolings, by Toof and Co. 
 
 * A fine manuscript, with orchestral accompaniment. The 
 Score is the Final Chorus from an unpublished and hitherto 
 unknown Cantata, with Latin text. The figure "68" on the 
 last page seems to indicate that the Cantata was composed 
 in 1768, during the time of Haydn's stay at Eisenstadt in 
 Hungary, and his appointment there as Capellmeister to 
 Prince Esterhazy. 
 
 From the well-known collection of musical autographs of 
 the late Aloys Fuchs, member of the Imperial Court Chapel, 
 of Vienna, whose certificate guaranteeing the genuineness 
 of the autograph appears on the title-page. 
 
 591. HAZLITT (WILLIAM). The Celebrated Letters of 
 William Hazlitt to P. G. Patmore, relating to his amour with 
 Sarah Walker, the Heroine of "Liber Amoris." With an 
 A. L. S. of Sarah Walker to him, and various other A. L's S. 
 from Mrs. Hazlitt, their son William, and other members of 
 the family. Inlaid to large folio and bound in full levant 
 morocco, richly gilt and ornamental borders, by Riviere. 
 
 * This remarkable collection consists of 11 letters from 
 Hazlitt to his friend Patmore, written between March 30th 
 and July 8th, 1822, and occupying 38 pages, both folio and 
 quarto. It is these letters which form the Appendix of 
 "Unpublished Correspondence" which appears in the edi- 
 tion of "Liber Amoris" privately printed in 1894, with the 
 Le Galienne Introduction. 
 
 Besides the Hazlitt letters, there is a modest letter from 
 Sarah Walker to Hazlitt, which appears as letter I in the 
 correspondence above referred to. [The only one existing.] 
 There are also 2 letters from his son William, one each to 
 his father and his mother; one of W. H. about "proof- 
 sheets"; 11 long letters from the first Mrs. Hazlitt and 
 various members of the family; Manuscript account with 
 him for lodgings, and a manuscript announcement of his 
 death. 
 
 In addition to the foregoing extraordinary series of let- 
 ters, forming a remarkable collection of original matter 
 connected with William Hazlitt's most famous book, there 
 is a Manuscript volume of 59 leaves, being the ONLY MANU- 
 SCRIPT KNOWN OF "LIBER AMORIS." This manuscript is writ- 
 ten in a hand other than Hazlitt's, presumably by Patmore, 
 but there is evidence that it passed through Hazlitt's hands 
 by reason of an entire page in his autograph, being an ex- 
 tract from one of the original letters, with a memo, also in 
 his hand, on the blank reverse side of one of the leaves. 
 
 This latter volume is bound in limp leather, and is pre- 
 served in a morocco slip case. 
 
 There is also included with these two volumes, the manu- 
 script Diary of Mrs. Hazlitt, entitled "JOURNAL OF MY TRIP 
 TO SCOTLAND." 
 
 This trip was taken for the purpose of procuring a divorce 
 from her husband, and deals at length, and with the most 
 curious freedom of language, with all the events connected 
 with her suit. At this very time Hazlitt was carrying on. 
 
 89
 
 his liaison with Sarah Walker, and Mrs. Hazlitt gives full 
 account of her discussions with her husband over this affair. 
 
 The Journal consists of 97 pages of manuscript in the 
 hand of Mrs. Hazlitt (one leaf appears to be lacking at the 
 end), 4to, boards, half roan, preserved in full levant morocco 
 slip-case. 
 
 These three volumes, possessing the most intense interest, 
 and exhibiting the morbid workings of a brilliant mind, in 
 its grossest form, present one of the most extraordinary 
 narratives in the English language, rivalling the Confes- 
 sions of Rousseau.

 ORDERLY BOOKS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. 
 
 767. AMERICAN REVOLUTION. Original Manuscript 
 Orderly Books of Adjutant Francis Tufts, of the 8th Massa- 
 chusetts Regiment. From May 23d, 1778, to March 30th, 1783. 
 16 vols. 8vo and small 4to, original wrappers, each volume 
 preserved in a crimson morocco slip-case. 
 
 * These extremely interesting and important records present 
 the intimate life of the regiments, not only as an individual unit, 
 but in connection with the army as a whole. This is one of the 
 largest collections of Orderly Books ever offered. They form a 
 complete history, as recorded by the Adjutant of the 8th Mass., 
 from May 23, 1778, to March 30th, 1783, in almost unbroken 
 sequence. 
 
 The volumes begin with the preliminary movements of the 
 Army towards Monmouth, and after the battle, the inarch of 
 the troops from thence to West Point, including various camps 
 at Croton Bridge, Peekskill, White Plains, Hartford, Newburgh, 
 etc., etc. 
 
 A MOST VALUABLE AND IMPORTANT SERIES OF ENTRIES Con- 
 tained in these volumes are those relating to the Court Martial 
 of Maj. Gen. McDowell, beginning April 14th, 1782, and con- 
 tinuing until August 28th, 1782, OF WHICH TRIAL WE ARE UN- 
 ABLE TO FIND ANY OTHER RECORDED ACCOUNT, the many histories 
 and biographies consulted being absolutely silent on the subject. 
 The record here given relates not only the charges in detail, 
 but also the verdict of the Court, taking up each of the eight 
 charges, with the findings complete. The execution of the ver- 
 dict, which was a reprimand in General Orders, by the Com- 
 mander-in-Chief, Gen. Washington, is also given in full.

 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF "THE CLOISTER AND 
 THE HEARTH." 
 
 805. READE (CHARLES). The Cloister and the Hearth. 
 The Original Autograph Manuscript, written in ink on about 
 eight hundred quarto and folio pages, carefully inlaid to large 
 folio, and contained in four vols. handsomely bound in full 
 dark blue levant morocco, elaborately tooled with gilt borders 
 on back and sides, gilt inside borders with doublures and end 
 pages of crimson watered silk, gilt tops, by Riviere. 
 
 * Charles Beade 's greatest novel, ' ' The Cloister and the 
 Hearth," was published in 1861. About a fifth of the story 
 as it appears here was originally published in ' ' Once a Week, ' ' 
 in 1859, under the title ' ' A Good Fight, ' ' and in comparison 
 seems to have been a mere outline of the general plot. As 
 the MS. shows, the tale was vastly expanded in the two follow- 
 ing years. When published it was hailed by many of his con- 
 temporaries as the greatest historical novel in the English 
 language. In the chief characters of the story, "Margaret" 
 and ' ' Gerard, ' ' are portrayed the parents of the illustrious 
 Erasmus. 
 
 It appears, from the following notations made in compar- 
 ing this MS. with the printed story, that it is the first draft, 
 as the author assembled his ideas in elaborating the magazine 
 version. 
 
 The first twelve chapters are made up of the printed text 
 of the magazine version, interspersed with numerous emenda- 
 tions in Reade's autograph. The remainder is in the author's 
 autograph, except in the few instances as hereafter noted. 
 
 Chapters 21, 22, and part of 23 in the published work do 
 not appear in the MS. 
 
 At the end of the first volume is a revised version of the 
 greater portion of chapter 24 rewritten by an amanuensis. 
 
 11 pages of the latter portion of chapter 24 and 5 pages of 
 chapter 25 are in printed form, with the running title ' ' Maid, 
 Wife, and Widow," in addition to the MS. 
 
 Chapter 29 in the MS. contains considerably more matter 
 than was published. 
 
 The last 2 pages of chapter 34 and the first of chapter 35 are 
 missing. 
 
 Chapters 39, 40, and 44, made up with printed matter from 
 "A Good Fight." 
 
 Chapters 41, 42, and 43 do not appear in the same sequence 
 in the MS. as in the printed version. 
 
 Chapters 45 and 46 contain small portions of the printed 
 matter of "A Good Fight." 
 
 Chapter 47 to the end, comprising the largest portion of the 
 story, is entirely in the author's autograph. 
 
 The entire work shows numerous corrections, erasures, ad- 
 ditions, etc., and in addition to all this in many instanres 
 differs entirely from the printed story. On the reverse of 
 some of the sheets, here and there, appear little personal 
 touches in the way of notes and jottings such as that on the 
 back of one of the rewritten sheets of chapter 24: "For my 
 Executor or Executrix. C. E." "Cloister and the Hearth" 
 "A portion of the original tied up by me in my rooms at 
 Magdalen, Sept. 20, 1864." 
 
 At the end of the fourth volume are 55 folio pages of notes 
 and memoranda, including several different versions of the' 
 closing scenes of the story. 
 
 The most important Eeade Manuscript ever offered for pub- 
 lic sale.

 and in turn are slightly different from the latest printed edi- 
 tion of this well-known poem.

 1 p. Abbotsford [Jan. 8, 1826] . To George Hogarth. Bound 
 together in a quarto volume, half cloth. 
 
 * THE MANUSCRIPT is BELIEVED TO BE UNPUBLISHED, and is 
 one of a series written for the ' ' Weekly Journal, ' ' probably in 
 1821. It differs in style from Scott's novels, and is decidedly 
 humorous. The letter was written shortly before the failure of 
 Constable & Ballantyne, which involved Scott financially for 
 the remainder of his life. It is entirely about the difficulties 
 of the publishers and ways and means for raising money. 
 George Hogarth was afterwards the father-in-law of Charles 
 Dickens.

 family of Percy B. Shelley, together with a document relative 
 to the finding of it, signed by Sir Timothy Shelley, father of 
 the poet. 2 pieces. 
 
 * A most interesting item to the collector. The pedigree is 
 written on twelve narrow folio pages and relates the family 
 genealogy from the marriage of Mary, the 3rd daughter of 
 John Shelley, to the marriage of Mary, the 4th daughter of 
 Eichard Shelley. The document accompanying the above tells 
 of finding the pedigree among the papers of Sir Bysshe 
 Shelley, and is signed by Sir Timothy Shelley. There are 2 
 pages of Shelley genealogy on the same double sheet that con- 
 tains the document. 
 
 838. SHELLEY (PERCY BYSSHE). Original Letters,

 4to. 35 Great Cuffe Street, Dublin [April, 1813]. Address 
 on separate sheet, with seal. 
 
 * To John Williams, agent for the owner of the Welsh estate 
 Shelley had occupied. He writes of his safe arrival in Dublin 
 after a passage so tedious and stormy that they had not yet 
 recovered. Eegarding his finances he writes : ' ' Well, we are 
 arrived in Dublin, but so poor, that unless we find some friend 
 I know not what we shall do. . . . We are in a foreign country 
 where our name is scarcely Icnown and where no one will give 
 us credit for a farthing," etc.

 driven out of our lodgings," etc.

 few words). 
 
 * To Charles Oilier, the publisher. On account of the condi- 
 tion of his health, which does not permit him to make the trip, 
 he asks Oilier to come to him, and gives directions for the trip. 
 He speaks of the necessity of instant communication and the 
 
 . fact that he has received no parcels. The Olliers published 
 "The Kevolt of Islam" in 1818, and it is probable that the 
 above letter had to do with that undertaking. 
 
 843. SHELLEY (PERCY BYSSHE). Manuscript of 
 Shelley's Poem "Hellas:" probably in the handwriting of 
 Lieutenant Williams. 57 pages; A. L. S. by Shelley (damaged

 by W. M. Eossetti, relating to the above MSS. The letter by 
 Shelley related to the publication of his pamphlet: "We pity 
 the plumage but forget the dying bird." There are a number 
 of corrections in the text of ' ' Helas ' ' and these may be in the 
 handwriting of Shelley. 
 
 844. SHELLEY (PERCY BYSSHE). A. L. Signed with 
 initials. 3 pp. 4to. Livorno, June, 1819. 
 
 * A most interesting literary letter to Thomas Love Peacock, 
 in which he writes: "0 that I could return to England! 
 How heavy a weight when misfortune is added to exile, and 
 solitude, as if the measure were not full, heaped high on both. ' ' 
 He expresses great admiration for "Nightmare Abbey," Pea- 
 cock's latest work, and says " Cobbet still more and more de- 
 lights me . . . His design to overthrow banlc notes by forgery 
 is very comic." 
 
 845. SHELLEY (PERCY BYSSHE). A. L. Signed with 
 initials. 3 pp. 4to [Pisa, May 16, 1820]. 
 
 * To Thomas Love Peacock, congratulating him on his mar- 
 riage and mentioning a possible visit from Hogg. Eegarding 
 "The Cenci" he writes: "/ see my tragedy has been repub- 
 lished in Paris if that is the case it ought to sell in London, 
 but I hear nothing from Oilier. ... 7 am on the whole greatly 
 benefited by my residence in Italy, and but for certain moral 
 causes, should probably have been enabled to reestablish my 
 system completely."

 The volume was formerly in the collection of Frederick 
 Locker (with his bookplate), who secured it at a sale at 
 Sotheby's in July, 1877, with other papers connected with 
 Jonathan Swift.

 grandfather of Eichard B. Sheridan, and friend and corre- 
 spondent of Swift.

 plates in Mr. Bixby 's collection.

 written that was based on the family papers, and gives many

 pages of 4to size, bound in olive levant morocco, gilt, with

 silk fly-leaves, by Toof & Co. 
 
 * This is a very characteristic Thoreau Manuscript, written on 
 various kinds of paper, as was his habit, and the numerous MS. 
 corrections to this "second draft" evidence the tremendous 
 amount of revision Thoreau found necessary, before the finished 
 manuscript was completed to his satisfaction. 
 
 900. THOREAU (HENRY D.). Original Manuscript of 
 the Revised Version of the first two Chapters of " A Yankee 
 in Canada." 57 leaves, 4to, full olive levant morocco, gilt

 4to, with MS. pencil notes and signature intact.

 Vita," [in the hand of Sophia]; together with 5 pp. of pen-

 * Opposite the various items of books, are written in pencil, 
 in the hand of Mr. Sanborn, the initials or names of persons, 
 presumably those receiving such volumes on Thoreau's death, 
 and include Emerson, Alcott, Town Library, Ripley, etc. 
 
 904. THOREAU (HENRY D.). Manuscript page from 
 "A Week on the Concord" (p. 78), containing many cor- 
 rections in Thoreau's hand. 1 p. 4to. 
 
 " On the reverse side is a portion of an early essay by Thoreau> 
 which Sanborn in a note says " perhaps of 1834." On the mar- 
 gin is written a quatrain by Thoreau: 
 " Who hears the parson 
 Will not hear the bell 
 But if he deafly pass on 
 He will hear of hell."

 his Journal of 1849. Pp. 417-4*0. 4 pp. 4to. 
 
 * Two of the pages contain MS. notes or corrections, written

 This interesting fragment begins: "7 cannot imagine a 
 woman no other than is the mother of the masculine and 
 the feminine. The tenderness and affection of woman, her 
 mild, prophetic eye her finer instincts exert an influence 
 on man from which he is never weaned." 
 
 906. THOREAU (HENRY D.). Autograph Manuscript 
 of his Calendar for March, 1860. 9 pp. 4to. 
 
 * In his various daily entries he has noted in what years the 
 same phenomena had occurred, with the dates of such occur- 
 rences, such as " Sleighing ends," " Ice all out of river proper," 
 " Frost out of Garden," etc. 
 
 A notation by F. B. Sanborn on the first page, states that 
 "these nine pages cover the Natural phenomena for March, 
 I860." 
 
 An interesting feature of this manuscript is, that the reverse 
 pages contain portions of Thoreau's "Plea for John Brown" 
 (not in sequence), which would perhaps indicate the re-writing 
 of his address before he was satisfied to deliver it to the people 
 of Concord, Oct. 30, 1859. 
 
 136
 
 907. THOREAU (HENRY D.). Original Manuscript, 
 "General Phenomena for April" [I860]. 
 
 * This is similar to his notes covering March, and a long note 
 on the wrapper by F. B. San born, says in part: "These are 
 curious and valuable Indexes to his later Journals by Thoreau 
 himself. They fix date for certain natural events, and give a 
 running account of weather," etc. 
 
 A portion of this manuscript is also written on the reverse 
 side of the sheets used by him for his " Plea for John Brown," 
 this portion containing the first page, with caption, as well as 
 the last, which latter is here in duplicate, showing corrections. 
 
 908. TOLSTOY (LEO). L. S., 2 pp. 8vo. Feb. 9, 1892.

 sand people receive their meals twice a day, . . ."

 * One of 300 copies printed from the Original Letters and 
 Documents in Mr. Bixby 's Collection. Most of the copies 
 have been presented to public libraries. The illustrations are 
 portraits engraved on steel of Washington and Lear, and a 
 reproduction of Washington's bookplate, all from private plates 
 engraved by Hollyer and owned by Mr. Bixby; the prints are 
 on India paper and are signed by the engraver. These engrav- 
 ings appear only in this book. There is also a view of Mount 
 Vernon from a private plate. 
 
 The Letters to Lear relate largely to New York city and 
 Washington's removal to Philadelphia and they give an inti- 
 mate view of the family life of the first President. 
 
 The Miscellaneous Washington Letters and Documents, many 
 of which are unpublished elsewhere, are of very great personal 
 interest and historical importance. For example, this volume 
 contains the only correct publication ever made of the Instruc- 
 tions to Washington by the Continental Congress, June 22, 
 1775, when he was appointed commander-in-chief of the army. 
 Even the various editors of Washington's Letters and of the 
 Journals of Congress and other publications by the Govern- 
 ment, have always given this great document incorrectly, print- 
 ing from an erroneous copy, and not from the original, which 
 is in Mr. Bixby 's collection.

 alterations, was included in the First Edition of ' ' Intentions, ' '

 author's extreme solicitude in his choice of language.

 in November, 1893, in an imperfect condition, and having an- 
 other imperfect copy, formed the present copy from the two. 
 The last few leaves next to the wrapper with the Hazlitt note, 
 rather indicates that they might have been from a proof 
 copy, being very different in texture from the remainder of 
 the book. With Locker 'B ' ' Jester ' ' bookplate.

 edges, by C. Lewis (9 leaves, L 1-M 1, have the margins 
 skilfully restored). [St. Andrews, John Scot, 1554] 
 
 * FIRST EDITION, very rare. Supposed to be the earliest work 
 of Sir David Lyndesay printed in Scotland. But few copies of 
 this work can be traced, this one being the D. Laing and Fred- 
 erick Locker copy with the former's autograph and the latter's 
 " Jester " bookplate. The Hoe library had only the third and 
 fourth editions, and the Huth library the second and third 
 editions. 
 
 In the edition of this author's works, edited by Mr. G. Chal- 
 mers, it is clearly shown that this edition was not printed at 
 Copenhagen, but at St. Andrew by John Skott, an English 
 printer, who had been brought from London by Archbishop 
 Hamilton. Mr. Chalmers also proves that the correct date is 
 1554, and not 1552 as in the colophon.

 author's plays, no copy having appeared in any of the well- 
 known collections dispersed in recent years.

 University Library of Cambridge. The small mark of Caxton

 borders, dentelle edges, full gilt edges. 
 
 At Middleborough. [About 1620] 
 
 * All the editions of this work bear the Middleborough im- 
 print, and are without date. This is probably the FIRST EDI- 
 TION in its complete form, the earlier editions containing only 
 a portion of the Elegies. The first edition [about 1596] was 
 ordered to be burnt at Stationers Hall, in 1599. 
 
 Frederick Locker's copy, with his "Jester" bookplate, and 
 notation on the fly-leaf in his autograph as follows : The elegies 
 are by Marlowe the epigrams by Davys. There is an undated 
 edition at Bridgewater House, probably printed before 1600, 
 perhaps shortly after Marlow's death in 1593. This may be 
 forty or fifty years more recent. The early edition must be 
 
 VERY RARE INDEED."

 the fly and the cocoon, and the book is not in Black Letter as 
 stated in the collation given by the Grolier Club. 
 
 Although published with initials only, this interesting and 
 learned old treatise has long been accepted as the work of 
 Thomas Moffat, a distinguished physician of the Elizabethan 
 period. A lengthy description of Moffat and this poem will 
 be found in Collier's Early English Literature.

 porary annotations and marks. Contains the Frederick Locker

 Lond. 1850 
 
 * COMPLETE SET OF THE FIRST EDITION, in the 4 original 
 numbers, January, February, March, and May (none appeared 
 in April, though some copies have the word April pasted over 
 May). This copy contains the rare cancel leaf in part 3, 
 which was issued by the publisher to enable the subscribers to 
 obtain uniformity in the titles, the third and fourth numbers 
 being published as " Art and Poeti'y. This was occasioned by 
 the fact that after the February number was issued Rossetti 
 and his fellows of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood felt that the 
 support accorded the magazine did not warrant their carrying 
 it on; but the printers shouldered the responsibility and the 
 the third and fourth numbers appeared as "Art and Poetry; 
 being Thoughts towards Nature." After this it was discontinued 
 entirely. 
 
 Its claim to high literary importance, however, has long 
 since been fully recognized, and now it is eagerly sought for 
 by collectors as one of the chief gems of early Victorian 
 Literature. Most prominent among its literary contributions 
 
 171
 
 is D. G. Rossetti's first version of the celebrated poem "The 
 Blessed Damozel," besides contributions by Christina Rossetti, 
 W. M. Rossetti, Coventry Patmore, etc., etc. 
 
 An item that appeals to the most discriminating collector. 
 When it is remembered that the four parts are difficult to find 
 in any form, the present copy is practically unique, each part 
 being absolutely unopened, in perfectly fresh condition and 
 with the excessively rare cancel leaf in part 3.
