Folio, one volume, sprinkled calf, gilt, by R. de Coverley. This contains all the numbers published of the original Spectator, but several numbers of another periodical under the same name, CATALOGUE OF THE LIBKARY OF with which neither Addison nor Steele had had anything to do, were afterwards printed. This series contains the last number of the original, in which Steele closes the publication, and has also Nos. 613 and 618 of "Vol. VIII" of the Pseudo Spectator, issued by the same publishers. This was Frederick Locker's copy, from the Rowfant Library. Three interesting letters from Austin Dobson, with reference to the completion of the numbers for Locker, are inserted. Some of the later numbers have the original revenue stamp. The volume has a specially printed title : * * A Compleat Sett of the ' Spec- tators,' by Richard Steele, Esq."

Folio, full crushed levant morocco, gilt edges, by Riviere. The First Edition with portrait by William Marshall. This is the first collected edition, and the volume does not contain the ''Wild Goose Chase," which was sometimes included in the work. There is a brilliant impression of the portrait of Fletcher engraved by Marshall, in the very first state of the plate; the name of Sir John Birkenhead being printed large beneath the nine lines of verse written by him, and the words ''vates duplex" in small letters. This edition appears to have been due to the enterprise of Moseley, and nothing which throws light upon the history of printing at this time is more interesting than the Postscript added at the end of the Commendatory Verses. The volume is dedicated to the Earl of Pembroke, to whom also was dedicated the First Folio Edition of Shakespeare: and in the dedication to the present volume is an interesting mention of this incident in which the great bard is termed "Sweet Swan of Avon Shakespeare."

Johnson, in St. Paul's Church- Yard, and Entered at the Stationer's Hall. 1786. 8v0y brown hoards, with leather bach and ends, yellow edges. The First Edition. Large Paper, and so excessively rare, that the Beekford Library (when dispersed) only contained a small paper copy. This was Robert Southey's copy, with his bookplate. In his handwriting, on the inside cover, is written "Robert Southey. Jany. 3, 1811." On the title-page he has written **by W. Beck- ford of Fonthill," also "by Mr. Henley." Beekford wrote this book in French, at one sitting, when only twenty-two years old. BEHN (Aphra). — The Plays, Histories, and Novels, of the Ingenious Mrs. Aphra Behn. With Life and Memoirs.

This is one of the rarest of the early issues of Edward the Sixth's First Prayer Book. The one published by Whitchurch, March 7th, is the first. The most marked dissimilarity in the vol- umes issued by the London printers lies in the special woodcut title- 11 CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF pages used by each. Grafton *s beautiful border (repeated for *'A Table" and "Kalender'') shows, above a Doric frieze supported by pilasters, a view of the Council Chamber with King Edward, surrounded by his advisors, and at the bottom the printers' pun- ning mark, on a shield held by two angels. It is as fine an example of work as anything of the period. Grafton afterwards used the same border for his edition of ''A Concordance of the Bible," printed in 1550. The unnumbered leaf at the end of the book contains the royal order concerning the price of the book. Only a few of the side margins are restored. It is evident that the Litany was not intended to form part of this book, as the previous page ends with "Finis," and it is not mentioned in the Table of Contents on verso of the title-page.

BURNS (Robert).— Poems, / Chiefly in the / Scottish Dialect, / By Robert Burns. / [Four lines of verse.] / Kilmarnock: / Printed by John Wilson. / M,DOC,LXXXVI. 8vo, full crushed levant morocco, gilt. The First Edition, and a fine tall copy. With two lines in Bums' autograph of ^'The Twa Dogs," from the original manu- script, inlaid to size. This small portion originally hung framed in the Jean Armour Cottage, and was procured from Col. William N. Burns, the poet's son. It passed into the hands of one of Jean Armour's relations and was purchased at the sale of the Burns and Armour relics in Glasgow, 1908. BURNS (Robekt).— Poems, / Chiefly in the / Scottish Dialect. / By / Robert Burns. / Edin- burgh: / Printed for the Author, / and sold by William Creech. / M,DCC,LXXXVII. 6vo, original calf, uncut. The first issue of the first Edinburgh edition. Portrait by Beugo after A. Nasmyth (the first portrait made of Burns). Lacks the half title. This was published the year after the Kilmarnock edition, contains twenty-seven pieces printed for the first time, and is dedicated "To the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt." This is the rare first issue (two were published in the same year in Edinburgh) and contains all the needed * * points. ' ' On page xxxvii, the Duke of Roxburgh 's name is printed * * Boxburgh, ' ' and on page xlvi is the addenda to the subscription list. These were altered in the later issue, the addenda was incorporated in the list, and "Boxburgh" was correctly spelled "Roxburgh." Only a few copies of the genuine first issue of this edition were printed. On page 263, the word * * stinking ' ' is mis-spelled * * skink- ing." This copy is particularly interesting as having belonged to Rob- ert Ainslie, and was presented to him by Burns. On the fly-leaf is Ainslie 's signature, and throughout the book Burns has filled in the names where asterisks appear in the printed text. There are about forty of these notations in the handwriting of the poet. 18 CHARLES TEMPLfiTON CROCKIlR At the heading of ** Death and Doctor Hornbrook. A True Story," Burns has written "John Wilson schoolmaster, Tarbol- ton." An autograph note from Burns to Ainslie has been inserted in this copy. It has the address on the outside of the sheet '*Mr. Robt Ainslie. Writer, Care of Mr. Ainslie, Bookseller, Newtown, Edin. To be forwarded wherever he is." The note has neither beginning nor end, and it is probably the kind Burns would dash off when there seemed to be little to write about. It reads : * * I am not entirely sure of my farm's doing well — I hope for the best: but I have my Excise Commission in my pocket : I don 't care three skips of a cur-dig for the up-an-down gambols of Fortune. I am vexed at your seeming dispiritedness. I am afraid somewhat is going cross with you. The devil sometimes half whispers me, that you are wearing of an idle barren correspondence."

London : Printed for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge; sold at the depository, Great Queen-Street, Lincoln 's-Inn-Fields, and 4, Royal Exchange ; and by all booksellers. 1848. 8vo, original cloth, uncut. Frontispiece, folding map, and illustrations. This compilation of Richard Walter has long occupied a dis- tinguished position as a masterpiece of descriptive travel. The first edition was published in 1748, in quarto, and its textual dif- ferences with the later quartos are slight. The forty-two maps and plates should accompany all. There is an abridgment issued in octavo (as this copy), also frequently reprinted, and translations were made into French, Ger- man and other languages. Anson's voyage appears to have been the most popular book of adventure in the eighteenth century. It contains an interesting account of the Island of Juan Fernandez.

P.).— The United States vs. Andres Castillero, on Cross Appeal. Claim for the Mine and Lands of New Almaden. Argument of Hon. J. P. Benjamin Delivered on the 24th, 24 CHARLES TEMPLETON CROCKER 25th and 26th of October, and 5th of November, 1860, in reply to the Government's Special Coun- sel. Reported by Sumner & Cutter. San Francisco: Commercial Steam Book and Job Printing Establishment, 1860. 8vo, three-quarters morocco. Castillero came into possession of the New Almaden quicksilver mine in 1845, by the method of denouncement. By this Mexican law or custom, any person or company could present themselves to the nearest authorities and denounce an unworked mine, and, after certain formalities, be put in possession of all or part of it, according to its extent; the new owner being obliged to work his new possession, or a fresh claimant could denounce against him. In all cases, the Government claimed a certain proportion of the products. In this case, the Hon. J. P. Benjamin argued that the United States acting as the assistant of a band of unscrupulous speculators, had no right to the mine, as Castillero had acquired it under this law of denouncement prior to the ceding of California by Mexico to the United States in 1848.

New York: D. Appleton & Company, 1848. 12mOy cloth. The Second Edition. An excellent authority both on the over- land journey and events in California. The author was the Al- calde at San Francisco, and this work went through many editions, one English, two French in 1848 and 1849. There was also an edi- tion, now very rare, printed with the addition of Wierbicki 's "California As It Is," and issued at Launcetown, Tasmania, in 1850. Beginning with the third, the American edition was slightly enlarged and a map added. The facts in reference to the military and naval operations in California did not come under the author's personal observation, but are derived from authentic sources. This is one of the earliest works to draw attention to the California gold deposits.

The maps are of the military fortifications of Fort Hill, Monterey; the Presidio, San Francisco; Lieutenant Derby's map of the route of General Riley through the mining districts in July and August, 1849; Fremont's surveys of California; Beale's expedition against the Indians; and two maps of Lower California.

With plate and folding map. The most famous and the most extensive of the early works that relate to Upper California. The plate, a symbolical portrait of Serra, typifies his apostolic labors, and is to be found facing page one. The folding map, placed at the end of the work, repre- sents Old and New California, and contains the geographical names as known and the missions as they existed, then. It was engraved by Diego Froncoso, Mexico, 1787. Two varities of the map exist, both of which were printed from the same plate. In the earlier variety, the space shovra as the Pacific Ocean is blank, and in the later copies (as on this one) the space is occupied by the words "Mar Paeifieo," engraved in large characters. Miguel Jose Serra, a native of Petra, on the island of Mallorca, was born November 24th, 1713. He took the Franciscan habit in 1730, assuming the name of Junipero, and until 1749, devoted his life in preparation for missionary work. He reached Mexico, December 6th of that year, and began immediately the arduous spiritual work that ended only with his death. His early work in Mexico was for a time in the missionary field of the Sierra Gorda, and later in the college of San Fernando. In 1769, he arrived at San Diego in Alta California, and at that place, on July 16th, he founded the first Californian mission. From this time he was indefatigable, founding many missions, and traveling many miles, always on foot. His end came on August 28th, 1784, at San Carlos, the beloved mission that he founded June 3d, 1770.

Winchester, State Printer, 1850. 4to, old sheep. The extremely rare First Statutes of California. **The first legislature of the State of California consisted of sixteen senators and thirty-six assemblymen. The rainy season which had set in on the 28th of October, 1849, was at its height by the middle of De- cember, and did not close until the 22nd of March, during which period thirty-six inches of water fell upon the thirsty earth. The roads were rendered nearly impassable and the means of travel, otherwise than on horseback, being limited, it was with difficulty that the members made their way to San Jose from their different districts, no quorum being present on the first and second days. The legislative building furnished was an unfinished box, sixty feet long and forty feet wide, two stories in height, having a piazza in front. The ujjper story, devoted to the use of the assembly, was simply one large room, approached by a flight of stairs from the senate-chamber, a hall forty by twenty feet on the ground floor, the remainder of the space being occupied by the rooms of the secretary of state, and various committees. For the first few weeks, owing to the incompleteness of the hall, the senators held their meetings in the house of Isaac Branham, on the southwest corner of the plaza." Sabin mentions the book, but knows of no copy. With autograph of Th. W. Sutherland, District Attorney of California.

London: Printed for James Rivington and James Fletcher, at the Oxford Theatre, in Pater- Noster Row, 1759. 8vo, two volumes, full morocco, edges gilt. With map and plates. This is the rare First English Edition. One of the most faith- ful narratives regarding the original condition of the Indians of North America. The plates in Vol. I. are * * Women and Men in California ' ' and *'The Coyote or Fox, and the Taye or California Deer." Those in Vol. II. are "The Manner of Curing the Sick, or Sorcerers of California," and "The Martyrdom of Fathers Carranco and Tamaral." These four plates appear to have been issued with but a few copies of the work, as two is the number usually found.

George Bancroft's copy, with his bookplate. The first map of California is surrounded by a border of ten vignettes, showing inhabitants and animals of the country, and the martyrdoms of Padres Carranco and Tamaral. The second ia a map of the lands adjacent to the upper part of the Gulf of Cali- fornia, 1747, after the Jesuit missionary, Cinsag. The third is of the South Sea or Pacific Ocean between the Equator and 39° 30" north latitude. This has been copied from Anson, by Joseph Gonzales. The fourth is a general map of the north Pacific Ocean, showing Asia and America, and engraved by Manuel Rodriguez, 1756. This work is considered the foundation of a library of Cali- forniana. The maps have historical value and represent surveys made down to 1754, although the manuscript was written in 1739. The text was supplemented by fresh information, sent home from the missions for that purpose, so that the matter is brought fully down to date of publication. The work was edited by Padre Andres Marcos Burriel, although his name does not appear. He was an editor of intelligence and ability, and one of the three volumes is devoted to geography and explorations of the far north. Other than Cabrera, Burriel was the first writer whose sound sense allowed him to reject the apocryphal voyages as unworthy of credit, to restrict northern geography to actual discoveries, and to correctly define in print the peninsula and the regions of the Colorado and Gila Rivers as far as known. This work of Venegas has been translated into English, Dutch, French and German. The English translation has been a popular edition, but, it is stated, is faulty and a considerable portion has been omitted. VENEGAS (Miguel). — Naturlyke en burger- lyke historie van California.

Cohen says that a re-impression or counterfeit of this edition was printed, with less beautiful typography, the distinguishing marks being an ornament on the title-page instead of a figure, and the figure of ** Amour'* in the first plate facing toward the left; but the title-page contains a figure, not an ornament. Whether the plates belong to the re-impression or not, the text is of the genuine first edition. D 'ISRAELI (Isaac). — Curiosities of Literature by Isaac D'Israeli.

One of the copies printed on Dutch paper. The rare First Issue of the First Edition, with faulty pagina- tion in the first leaves of the "Poem de Mois de Mai,*' and without the "Imitations de plusieurs poetes latins"; the one to be most desired, as the impressions of the plates of those with the rectified pagination and supplement are inferior. Baron R.

Title as above, one leaf (verso blank). "To The Eeader," one leaf. The poem, B-M22. The First Edition. The Earl of Shaftesbury, here typified as Achitophel, for his share in the conspiracy to place the young Duke of Monmouth (Absalom) on the throne, was committed to the Tower in July, 1681, and this satire appeared in November, just before the Grand Jury acquitted him. It was undertaken at the desire of Charles II, and Dryden was at work on it for about nine months. It is the most celebrated of Dryden 's political satires, and was answered in a parody called ' ' Towser the Second, * * said to be by Henry Clare; also by the Duke of Buckingham in "Poetical Eeflections," and by Samuel Pordage in "Azaria and Hushai," and by Settle in "Absalom Senior."

Collation: A-S in fours; T, five leaves. The excessively rare First Edition. Contains the leaf '* Licensed, April the 11th, 1687," and the three-line Errata, on the verso of T5. A fine tall copy. This poem is Dryden's longest, and being a justification of his religious beliefs, is written in his best manner, many of the lines being amongst the most musical in the English language. It defends the Roman Catholic religion (written after Dryden's conversion), and its publication was deliberately timed to aid the King (James II) in his scheme of a Catholic revival. The key to the characters is as follows: Hind (Catholics) ; Panther (Church of England) ; Bear (The Independents) ; Hare (Quakers) ; Ape (Atheists) ; Lyon (The King) ; Boar (Ana- baptist) ; Fox (Socinian) ; Wolf (Calvinist). The publication brought out Matthew Prior 's * ' The Country Mouse and the City Mouse" (see Prior), a most witty satire on Dryden's mistaken effort. Sir Walter Scott states that the London edition is the first, and that the one bearing "Holyrood House" is a reprint, as the title states. DULAC ILLUSTRATIONS.— ANDERSEN (Hans Christian).

Fitzgerald then had the poem printed by Quaritch, the edition consisting of no more than two hundred and fifty copies, of which two hundred were left in the printer's hands. The work did not sell and after a time was thrown in quantities on the penny stand. The greater number of copies were lightly thrown aside and destroyed.

FORD'S THEATRE PLAY-BILLS.— The Original Play-Bills Issued at the Theatre the Morning and Evening of the Day on which Lin- 144 CHARLES TEMPLETON CfiOCKEJR coin was Assassinated; Variations and Fac- similes; Data concerning them; am A. L. S. by O. II. Oldroyd; together with some earlier bills of interest. Thirty-five items mounted on thick cartridge paper, and hound in a ruirrow folio volume, half morocco, gilt. The scarcest of the bills contained in this volume is that printed in the afternoon, after it had been definitely ascertained that Lincoln would attend the performance. This is distinguished by having inserted a patriotic verse of eight lines, and by the omis- sion of the list of prices of the seats. It is extremely rare, and probably is the kind used by Lincoln. The regular bill for the performance, printed in the morning, accompanies it. In addition to these two there is another variety, with the imprint of Polkinhorn, in which the word "chairs'* is omitted after "orchestra" in the list of prices of admission, and reading "Sensational Drama," instead of "Sensation Drama," as in the others. This bill and the other issue without the verse have been declared on authority to have been found in the box after Lincoln was carried out, but it is natural to suppose that the variety with the verse especially printed in his honor would have been handed to the President and his party. The other bills in the volume include facsimiles by other print- ers; the issues of Polkinhorn bill announcing the attendance of the President; bills for previous performances in the same week; issues from October 19th to 26th, when Junius Brutus Booth appeared in the cast; two bills with Mrs. D. P. Bowers' name, and others. The whole embraces every variety of the "Lincoln Bill," including originals and forgeries. FORRESTER (A. H.).

The first of the three small octavo editions published in 1770 may be most easily identified by the misprint in line 37 of the poem, which there reads: ** Amidst thy bowers the tyrant's head is seen." In all later editions this line is corrected to read: "Hand" instead of "head." This copy has been corrected, and is therefore not the earliest issue, of which only two copies are known.

The First Edition, with the extremely rare seven suppressed 160 CHARLES TEMPLBTON CROCKER leaves of the Voyage to Cadiz in 1596 (pages 607-619, of Vol. I). It is an unusual feature to find the Voyage to Cadiz inserted, as it does not really belong to the 1599 issue of Vol. I. On the title-page of the 1598 edition of Vol. I, the Cadiz voyage was announced, but the leaves containing it were sup- pressed by order of Queen Elizabeth after the disgrace of the Earl of Essex. In the issue of 1599, it was not intended to appear, and all mention of it is omitted from the title. In Vol. I, pages 187-208, is a curious poetical treatise entitled "The processe of the Libel of English policie, exhorting all England to keepe the sea,'' which is not in the first edition.

Thomas Warton, eminent historian of English poetry, and poet-laureate. There is a lengthy transcript from Edward Phil- lips' **Theatrum Poetarum," 1675, regarding the work, written entirely in Warton 's autograph, on margin of signature K2. (Re- bound after his ownership, as he died in 1790). 2. Rev. Thomas Corser, author of * * Collectanea Anglo-Poetica, ' ' where in Part VII of that monumental work (p. 200) he gives a very extended description of the work, stating that it was bound by Roger Payne. 3. The Earl of Crawford. Number 1033 in the catalogue of that famous collection dispersed in London in 1887, describes the book as "mor. tooled, leather joints, gt. edges, by C. Lewis, in imitation of Roger Payne." The binding is not signed, and there seems to be no evidence to prove the conclusion of the state- ment made in the Crawford catalogue that it is *'in imitation of Roger Payne." The volume has a genuine Roger Payne binding; a view in accord with that of two of the most eminent collectors and author- ities in this country. In addition it has the interest of being the identical copy mentioned in Dibdin's ''Library Companion," 1825, Vol. II, page 711, as follows: ''Mr. William Combes of Henley, a gentleman who collects with no inconsiderable ardour, is the fortunate owner of Joseph Warton 's own copy of Herrick's Hesperides — and he carries this book in his right hand coat pocket, and the first edition of Walton's Complete Angler in his left, when, with tapering rod and trembling float, he enjoys his favorite diversion of angling on the banks of the Thames.

Collation: A-D, in fours; E, six leaves; F-12, in fours. As originally printed, E comprised only four leaves, but it being discovered that an additional set of Latin verses had been omitted, they were printed on an extra sheet of two leaves (the first marked E4), which was inserted between E3 and the original E4. The First Edition. The occasion of this collection of verses was the drowning of Edward King during his passage from Chester in 1637, when the ship was lost in the Irish Sea and sev- eral of the passengers perished. The verses were written in love and remembrance by his sorrowing friends. The last piece in the book entitled * * Lyeidas ' ' and signed with the initials * * J. M., ' ' is by John Milton, and this is its first appearance in print.

Pauls Church- yard, 1645. 8vo, contemporary sheep, uncut. Collation: A, four leaves; A-H4, in eights; A-F4, in eights. The first collected edition of Milton's poems, bearing his name in full for the first time. The frontispiece portrait by Marshall is the first published of Milton, setat. 21, with a Greek inscription, intended by the poet as a satire on Marshall for representing him as older. Translated, it reads: "Will anyone say that this portrait was the work of an in- genious hand ; my very friends, looking at mine own natural coun- tenance, know not whom it represents, but laugh at the awkward imitation of the idiotic artist." There are two varieties of title-page, with imprimatur con- taining "S. Pauls" or "Pauls." There is nothing to show priority, except that **S. Pauls" is rarer. The two parts of the volume have separate pagination, with a separate title in Latin for the second part. This volume contains all the poems written by Milton up to the date of its publication. Excepting * ' Lycidas, " " Comus, ' ' and the epitaph on Shakespeare, all the pieces were here printed for the first time. This copy contains the bookplate of Edwd. Carleton Arundel. On the fly-leaf is written "Edwd. Carleton 1738."

The First Edition. This work, as the title indicates, was written in answer to the book entitled EIKii'N BASIAIKH', believed at the time to have been written by Charles I, though John Gauden was probably its author. After the Restoration it was ordered by the House of Commons, on June 16, 1660, to be burned by the common hangman, together with the "Defensio Pro Populo Angli- cano,'* by the same author.

This is the first with the first title, 223 CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OP according to Masson, and is a particularly large copy, measuring seven and two-sixteenths by five and two-sixteenths inches. To insure a copy being of the first issue, the following points are necessary: The title is the only preliminary leaf; and as regards the text, the penultimate line of Book III is * * Throws his steep flight with many an aerie wheele. " In the later issues, **with'* was altered to "in. " In the first four issues of the title-page, though printed in two separate years, the first, second, third and fifth lines were printed from the same type, each con- taining the slight nick in the top of the long '*s" in * * Paradife, ' ' and the cut in the lower part of the ''B*' in "Books.*' On the fly-leaf is written "John Dillon 1864" and on the verso of this leaf, "Joyce Sawyer Jan; ye 3rd 1732."

Markham. Vol. I. Stockholm, 1889. Folio, half morocco. This work contains fifty-one large maps and eighty-four of a smaller size, reproducing the rarest and most important maps printed in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. A scientific work of great value on the subject of cartography. Jomard and Santarem produced a somewhat imperfect volume of an ' * Illustrated History of Cartography, ' ' treating irregularly upon the manuscript sources; Nordenskiold 's Atlas might be called the the complete second volume dealing with the entire printed or engraved material. It is indispensable as furnishing by far the best material for studying the growth of geographical science, and the gradual increase of our knowledge of the surface of the globe. 229 CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF NUREMBERG CHRONICLE. [SCHEDEL (Hartmann.)] — Registriira / huiiis Ope- / ris Libri Cro-/nicarum / cu figuris et ymagi- / bus ab inico riiudi. Nuremberg: Anthonius Koberger, 1493. Folio, full dark brown crushed levant morocco, gilt, by Stikeman, Collation: twenty unnumbered leaves, leaves I to CCLXVI (1-266), six unnumbered leaves (the sixth blank), leaves CCLXVII to CCC (267-300). The First Edition. With upwards of two thousand woodcuts by Wohlgemuth and Pleydenwurff, including numerous large views of many celebrated genealogical trees, maps, etc. Printed in Gothic type. Among the woodcuts are remarkable the portrait of Pope Joan, which is often mutilated, but perfect in this copy; a Dance of Death, a Map of the World, and a large Map of Europe. Michael Wolgemuth, one of the designers of the woodcuts, was the master of Albrecht Diirer. On the verso of 1-290 is a brief account of the Portuguese voyage of discovery along the coast of Africa in 1483 (1484), under the direction of Diego Lam and Martin Beham of Nuremberg, which has been used as a basis for the unwarranted theory that the expedition reached America. This is a fine large copy, measuring seventeen and six-eighths by eleven and seven-eighths inches, and having the six leaves "de Sarmatia," and the four blank leaves; of these one is the last of the unfoliated supplement of **de Sarmatia,'' and other three are foliated, CCLVIIII, CCLX, CCLXI, and were left blank, so that posterity, down to the end of the sixth age of the world, might be able to add notes and remarks. The Colophon is on the verso of the last leaf. OIHENART (Arnauld).— Proverbes Basques Recueillis Par Arnauld Oihenart. Suivis des Poesies Basques du Meme Auteur. Seconde ;fidi- tion.

My Dear Mr. Willis, Seeing that you, now and then, published Original Papers in the 'New Mirror,' I have ventured to send you a Tale and an Essay for consideration. If you could afford me anything for them, or for either of them, I would feel highly honored by their appearance in your paper. I have long been exceedingly anxious to make the acquaintance of the author of 'Melanie, ' and, more especially, of a little poem entitled 'Unseen Spirits,' and would have called upon you per- sonally, but that I am ill in health and wretchedly depressed in spirits. By and bye I will try and find you at the office of the 'Mirror.' Will you please reply, at your leisure, through the P. Office? Should you not be able to accept the articles, I would be obliged if you would retain them until I see you. Yours with the highest respect, Edgar A. Poe. N. P. Willis Esqre."

Although Montagu's name is always associated with Prior's in the author- ship, it is probable that he wrote the Preface only.

Cotes, and are / to be sold by lohn Benson, dwelling in / St. Dunstans Church-yard, 1640. 16mo, original sheep, with contemporary calf hack, gilt. The First Edition, and a very tall copy, measuring five and a half by three and five-eighths inches. Only five other perfect copies have been sold at auction in the last twenty-five years. Contains on the fifth leaf of the volume a second title-page, identical with the first except for the omission of the date. This is frequently missing. It is preceded by two prefatory poems by John Warren and Leonard Digges, the latter being a most valuable contribution to our knowledge concerning Shakespeare and his plays, showing that his dramas always brought crowded houses while Ben Jonson's ''Volpone" — the most popular of all dramatic works by others than Shakespeare — sometimes scarcely defrayed the ' ' sea-coale fire and doore-keepers. ' ' The last eleven leaves are occupied by '*An Addition of some excellent Poems, to Those Precedent, of renowned Shakespeare, by other Gentlemen." These are by Ben Jonson, Francis Beaumont, John Milton, Robert Herrick, and others. The only collected edition of Shakespeare 's poems that was pub- lished during the seventeenth century.

To Philip Gilbert Hamerton. La Solitude, Hyeres-les Palmiers, Var, n. d. 8vo, eight pages, "My dear Hamerton, I have been in a crazy state as I should long ago have answered your kind letter. I have not been able to read at all, or to but write a little, for ever so long; my eyes having played me a trick. In short I am one of the handsomest wrecks upon the shore of literature. However, we keep the galley- fire alight and beat to quarters daily, as though she still ploughed the main full charged with England 's thunder. If you come south, do give us a visit. We cannot take you into the house for reasons best known to the architect. But we should be so pleased to see you and Mrs. Hamerton, or yourself alone, and we could talk to you, and give you some dinner, and find a room for you within hail. This is to be thought of: and if not now, then after, to be put ruthlessly in act. I think it not unlikely that I may fall on you this year; but all hangs upon my health, whose squirrel-like evolutions supplies me with unfailing entertainment. How little are we grateful to the gods! The invalid-bore, that well-known person with the symptoms, is a most beautiful instance of the kindly compensations of our destiny. I somewhat envy you your writing; I shall never be in a boat again, nor yet in a theatre, I fear; a short walk, a long talk — these are what is left me, and very good things, too, at least the talk. For a short walk, with definite limits, is against the very genius of walking. The amuse- ment is either to ramble or to travel. New views, another hill-top, just down yon dingle — ^ha! but another wood, I must go so far! That is the spirit of the walker; and how can he attain to this in the square half-mile around his house, much of it visible perhaps from his windows. Well, we have adjusting eyes and an adjust- able mind. We change the sliding scale of fancy; and in my mile- long walks, I have at times got into so rich a vein of self- deception, that I had visited empires and continents when I re- turned. Life is the art of self-deception — is that new or old? I am a great self -deceiver ; and a more valuable quality, I know not. Pray remember me kindly to yours, my dear Hamerton, Yours very sincerely, Robert Louis Stevenson."

TENNYSON (Alfred, Lord).— Poems, By Two Brothers. **Haec nos novimus esse nihil" — Martial. 280 CHARLES TEMPLETON CROCKER London: Printed for W. Simpkin and R. Marshall .... and J. and J. Jackson, Louth, 1827. 12mo, original boards, with paper label, uncut. The First Edition. The extremely rare first appearance in book form of Lord Tennyson's poems. An immaculate copy. All three brothers, Alfred, Charles and Frederick, contributed to it, but, it is said, bound themselves never to reveal who wrote this or that piece. After Lord Tennyson 's death, his son Hallam, with Frederick, one of the brothers, endeavored to determine the respective authorships, and decided that, of the one hundred and three poems, forty-two were by Alfred, forty-eight by Charles, three by Frederick, and the remainder doubtful. The brothers were only schoolboys at the time the book was published, and ob- tained twenty pounds for the copyright, which, however, was only on the condition that it be taken out in books. None of the poems were ever reprinted by Lord Tennyson. TENNYSON (Alfred, Lord).— Timbuctoo : Pro- lusiones Academicae, etc. A Poem, which obtained the Chancellor's Medal at the Cambridge Com- mencement, 1829. By A. Tennyson, of Trinity College. 8vo, full red morocco. The First Edition. The correct reading of line nine, page twelve, is only found in this edition.

With the leaf of Errata. Page ninety-nine is mis- numbered nineteen. The word "earcenet", page seventy-one, is correctly printed. Thomas J. Wise's bibliography mentions only four copies with these errors. 281 CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF TENNYSON (Alfred, Lord).— Poems. By Alfred Tennyson. London : Edward Moxon, 64, New Bond Street. MDCCCXXXIIL 12m0f original hoards, paper labels uncut. The First Edition. A perfect copy containing the page of ad- vertisement. This edition consisted of four hundred and fifty copies. The famous "0 Darling Room" volume. This poem with sev- eral others never appeared in any later edition, while others were very considerably altered. It was fallen upon by the critics merci- lessly, and the author's excisions and alterations showed that he had good sense in addition to poetical ability, when the next col- lected edition appeared. This, being Tennyson's second volume of verse, contains for the first time among its thirty poems, ' * The Lady of Shalott, ' * ''The Miller's Daughter," ''The Palace of Art," "The May Queen, " " The Lotus Eaters, ' ' and a ' ' Dream of Fair Women ' ' ; also the retort to Christopher North on his criticism of Tennyson 's first volume, a retort which Tennyson afterwards refers to as a "silly squib," and the sonnet on Buonaparte. This is the volume of which Arthur Hallam wrote while it was in the publisher's hands: "Moxon is in ecstasies with the May Queen ; he says the volume must make a great sensation. ' * TENNYSON (Alfred, Lord).— Poems. By Alfred Tennyson. London : Edward Moxon, 64, New Bond Street, MDCCCXXXIIL (With) TENNYSON (Alfred, Lord).— The Lover's Tale. By Alfred Tennyson. London : Edward Moxon, 64, New Bond Street, MDCCCXXXIIL 12mo, two volumes in one, full green morocco, gilt. The First Edition of "Poems." The First Trial Edition of ' ' The Lover 's Tale, ' ' of which only 282 CHARLES TEMPLETON CROCKER six copies were printed, and only two others are known, one owned by Mr. T. J. Wise of London, and the other by Mr. J. A. Spoor of Chicago. This copy is far superior in condition to Mr. Spoor 'a and equal to Mr. Wise's in size. "The Lover's Tale" of 1833 is the earliest in order of date of the series of Tennyson's trial books. Probably with the sole ex- ception of Shelley's "Necessity of Atheism" and "Original Poetry by Victor and Cazire," it is the most interesting and val- uable first edition in English nineteenth century literature. Written in 1828, in the autumn of 1832, the first two parts were set up in type, accompanied by the thirty other pieces which eventually formed the "Poems" of 1833. Before the sheets were printed, Tennyson concluded that * * The Lover 's Tale ' ' was in need of more thorough revision. He then withdrew it from the thirty sets of minor verses, and reserved it for publication at some future date. TENNYSON (Alfred, Lord) .—Poems. By Alfred Tennyson. London : Edward Moxon, 64, New Bond Street. MDCCCXXXIIL 12mo, full calf, uncut. The First Edition, with many manuscript corrections in the handwriting of the author. "The Palace of Art" contains most of the autograph changes. The eight lines of stanzas LII and LIII are almost entirely re- written, six new lines being substituted. The revised readings are followed in later editions. This volume formerly belonged to William Haslam, an early and close friends of Keats, and his auto- graph "W. Haslam" appears on the back of the page of con- tents. TENNYSON(Alfred, Lord).— Morte D' Arthur; Dora; and Other Idyls. By Alfred Tennyson. London: Edward Moxon, Dover Street.

[Vol. II.] London: Edward Moxon, Dover Street, MD- CCCXLIL 16mo, two volumes, original boards, uncut, paper labels. The First Edition, which consisted of eight hundred copies. The second volume, with one exception, consists of the poems previously unpublished. The remaining poems, reprinted from the edition of 1833, were much altered, and seven new pieces were added to the first volume. Vol. I contains, at pages 77-86, the whole of the proof sheets of "The Lady of Shalott.'^ The numbering of the pages of the proofs, as well as the setting of the text and the composition of the poem, show great differences from the published text. The proofs show a number of corrections of a slight nature, by Sped- ding probably, but on page 76 of the proof (86 of published volume), Tennyson has added a whole line in his handwriting, and one word in another, and also cancelled a line. There are also four proof pages of ** Mariana in the South,*' showing variations and three slight alterations in Tennyson 's hand- writing, also the proof of the short poem ''Circumstance." These proofs came from James Spedding, the friend of Tenny- son and also the reader of his poems. For a long time Tennyson rarely published anything without first having submitted it to Spedding.

The First Issue of the First Edition, which consisted of only twenty-five copies, for the Author's use. TENNYSON (Alfred, Lord).— Helen's Tower. Stanzas by Lady Gifford, Clandeboye, and Ten Lines on Last Leaf, by Lord Tennyson. Clandeboye: Privately printed [1861], 4to, original glazed wrappers, edges gilt. The Tower which Tennyson's poem commemorates was erected by Lord Dufiferin in memory of his mother. In a letter to Tenny- son, September 24, 1861, he says in part: ''Now there is only 287 CATALOGUE OF THE LIBEARY OF one thing wanting to make it a perfect little gem of architecture and decoration, and that is a 'voice.' It is now ten years since it was built, and all that time it has stood silent. Yet, if he chose, there is one person in the world able to endow it with this priceless gift, and by sending me some short distich for it, to crown it forever with a glory it cannot otherwise obtain, and render it a memorial of the personal friendship which its builder felt for the great poet of our age." The book itself was printed in 1850 or 1851. As originally made up it seems to have consisted of four leaves, the last blank with an engraved title, printed separately on heavy paper, the whole enclosed in a glazed paper cover, with blank fly-leaf at back and front. The first leaf has printed on the recto in red and black, an inscription signed by "Catherine Hamilton," followed by the names of thirteen witnesses. Page 2 is blank. Pages 3 to 5 are filled by verses written by Lord Dufferin's mother and given to him when he came of age. Pages 6, 7 and 8 were blank. On receipt of Tennyson's verses, a new leaf seems to have been printed, with an inscription relative to the completion of the tower. Tennyson's verses are on verso of this leaf. The blank leaf at the end was cut out, and this new leaf mounted on the stub. In 1870 Dufferin had another leaf printed, containing a poem by Robert Browning. Tennyson's poem was first reprinted by him in ''Tiresias" in 1885. The present copy does not contain Browning's sonnet. TENNYSON (Alfred, Lord).— Ode for the Opening of the International Exhibition. By Alfred Tennyson, P.L., D.C.L. London: Edward Moxon & Co., Dover Street, 1862. 16mo, full green morocco, gilt top, uncut, by Riviere. The First Issue of the First Edition.

London: Bradbury and Evans, 11, Bouverie Street, 1847-48. 8vo, twenty parts in nineteen, original paper wrappers, with advertisements, uncut. 296 CHARLES TEMPLETON CROCKER The First Issue of the First Edition, and one of the finest copies in America, equalled by possibly only three others, which are in private collections in New York. (1) The yellow wrappers are complete. (2) The advertisements and "Slips" that were so frequently destroyed or omitted as the work grew in popularity, are each in their proper "Number." (3) The interesting first issue "points"; the "Steyne" wood- cut, and others, are here without exception. (4) The original tissues are practically all between the plates. Livingston's bibliography of "Vanity Fair" (Boston Tran- cript Collation) was in error in certain instances. It states the inside front wrapper of Nos. I to XIII, should read "Contents of No. I," etc. In the first five wrappers of the present copy, there is simply the word "Contents." This is quite correct, the num- bers being added subsequently, evidently for the sake of uni- formity. The Boston Transcript Collation requires the absence of the square bracket in front of the price on wrapper XVI. This occurs only on undated numbers. This copy is undated and unbracketted. This Collation also states that the first line inside of the back wrapper of Part X should have the words * ' Novels ' ' and * ' Tales ' ' in capitals, differing from Part IX, where these words were evi- dently in even type with the remainder of the line. This copy agrees in this respect, though some copies are known having the inside of the back wrappers of these parts identical. The Brayton Ives copy had advertisements in Part IV, four pages, — a repetition of the advertisements in Part II. In this copy, the advertisements are different. Agreeing with the Boston Transcript Collation, the advertise- ments at the end of Part XVI are on tinted paper.* Following is a complete and detailed collation of this copy: — TITLE-PAGE.

WASHINGTON (George).— Autograph Letter Signed, to Mrs. Ralph Izard. Mount Vernon, 20th July, 1798. 4to, four pages. A most interesting and long letter in which Washington touches on the need of Congress establishing a Military Academy. 312 CHARLES TEMPLETON CROCKER ** Madam, By the last Post I had the honor to receive your favour of the 25th ult. from Charleston, and pray you to be per- suaded that no one could hear of the improvinjar state of Mr. Izard 's health, and prospect of his recovery, with more pleasure because few, if any of his acquaintances, regretted the loss of the first more than I did. On the prospect of the latter I sincerely con- gratulate you, as I do on the safe return of your son; who, if circumstances had permitted, I should have seen with pleasure at this place, on his way to Carolina. "If I rightly understand the grd. of Mr. Izard's complaint, I persuade myself that both you and he, upon a reconsideration of the case, and the consequences of a contrary principle in the decisions of the Executive thereon, will readily perceive that no injustice has been done him. "Usage, and the Policy of States in the establishment of new Corps, are independent of & unconnected with the old. Officers and privates come in together; — ^the former as a means to obtain the latter, and rarely is otherwise; except to reward meritorious officers, distinguished for signal services, who cannot be advanced in their own corps out of the usual ro(u)tine of promotion; — but this, when done, is considered as a favour, not claimed as a right; and sometimes proves the reverse, by throwing them out of Ser- vice altogether, — New corps being the first for disbandment. — "But there is another, and more interesting point, in which to view this subject; and proves beyond contradiction, the impos- sibility of Mr. Izards claim. "In Military, more so perhaps than in other matters, Princi- ples must be established & adhered to, or discontents wd. be end- less, and disorder great. What is right in one case must be right in every case, similarly circumstanced. Upon the principle then that Mr. Izard complains — ^viz — that it was injurious to make Captains of those who had never served, in the new Corps, while there were officers of inferior grades in the old, let me ask what would be the operation of it in the Army about to be raised ; for it applys as forceably to the Infantry, as to the Artillery! "At present, we have four Regiments of Infantry in existence, twelve are voted to be immediately raised, and if circumstances should require the Provisional Army, nearly double that number will be wanted in addition. — ^Would it not be a matter of surprise then, and absolutely defeat the measures of Government, if no new Officers were to be appointed in this Army until those of the four Regiments were first provided for? — Certain I am. Madam, that your good sense would be the first to cry yes. The case of Mr. Izard is exactly similar, although the evil would not be in existence. — "My wishes that Congress would establish a Military Academy, and Corps of Engineers have often been communicated to that Body, and it is to be regretted that the want of many useful Institutions are not seen until they are felt. 313 CATALOGUE OF THE LIBRARY OF '*Mr8. Washington & Miss Custis are thankful for your kind remembrance of them and unite with me in every good wish for Mr. Izard, yourself and family — and with the highest regard I have the honor to be Madam Your Most Obedt G. Washington/' **Mrs. Izard." WASHINGTON (George).— Autograph Letter Signed, to Tobias Lear. Mount Vernon, June 29th, 1788. Folio, one page, A most interesting letter from Washington to his private secre- tary, Tobias Lear. The letter refers to the ratification of the Constitution by the Virginia Legislature in 1788. The Conven- tion met on June 2d, 1788, and the Constitution was finally ratified on June 25th. This delay made Virginia the tenth of the **ten affirmatives'' as New Hampshire had already ratified on June 21st, by a vote of 57 to 46. In the second paragraph, **Col. Henley, express from New York on his way to Eichmond," un- doubtedly refers to the special express arranged by Hamilton and Madison between Concord and Richmond, via Poughkeepsie, so that whichever state decided first the news might be used to in- fluence the other. In paragraph three, * * some recommendatory or declatory rights, etc." These were, as a matter of fact, offered the next day by Henry and others. The letter follows: "Dear Sir; Your letter of the 2d instant came duly to hand, and obliged me by its communications. — "On Friday last, (by the Stage), advice of the decision of the long and warmly (with temper) contested question -in the Conven- tion of this State, was received — 89 ayes — 79 noes, without pre- vious amendments; — and in the course of that night. Col. Henley, express from New York on his way to Richmond, arrived in Alex- andria with the news of the ratification by the State of New Hampshire — This flood of good news almost at the same moment, gave abundant cause for rejoicing in a place, the Inhabitants of which are all federal. — The Cannon roared, and the Town was illuminated. Yesterday, as magnificent a dinner as Mr. Wise could provide (to which this family were invited and went), was dis- played before the principal male Inhabitants of the Town; whose Ears were saluted at every quaff with the Melody of federal Guns. And on Monday, the business it seems is to recommense and finish, with fiddling & dancing, for the amusement & benefit of the Ladies. * * The final question was taken on the 25th. ; and some Recom- mendatory, or declatory rights, it was supposed (by my eorre- 314 CHARLES TEMPLETON CROCKER spondents in Richmond), would follow the Ratification of the Constitution the next, or following day. — As these two adoptions make ten affirmatives without a negative, and little or no ques- tion is made of North Carolina's treading in the steps of Virginia, it is hardly to be conceived that New York will reject it. — Rhode Island hitherto, has so far baffled all calculation, that he must be a hardy man, indeed, who will undertake to declare what will he the choice of the majority of that State, lest he should be suspected of having participated of their phrensy. **The Accys. from Richmond are, that the Minority will acquiesce with good grace — Mr. Henry it seems having declared that, though he cannot be reconciled to the Government in its present form, and will give it every constitutional opposition in his power; yet, that he will submit to it peaceably; as every good citizen he thinks ought; and by precept and example will en- deavor, within the sphere of his action, to inculcate the like prin- ciples in to others. — **You have the best wishes of every one in this family but of none in a higher degree than those of. Your affect, friend and Obedient Servt. . . . G. Washington. *'Pray offer my Compliments, to Mr. Langdon. "Mr. Tobias Lear.''
