Ballantyne, Hanson & Co. -r INTRODUCTION. I VERY respectfully, yet with cordial pleasure, submit to such sections of the educated and reading English community in the United Queendom, the States of America, and elsewhere, as feel an interest in that early literature, which ought to be dear to the entire English-speaking race, a Third and Final Series of my Bibliographical Collections and Notes, forming (with my Handbooh), the fourth volume of my achieve- ment in this province of research. Charles Lamb says in one of his Letters that what a man could write, he ought to be able to read. So much the rather, then, what a man could write, I can at least describe. The objection to the multiplication of alphabets by the sectional treatment, which I have adopted since the appearance of the Hcmdhooh in 1867, is a very valid objection indeed from the point of view of the consulter. But as this has been, and remains, a labour of love, and as the cost of production was a grave problem, I simj)ly had no alternative ; and to the suggestion which I offered in a prior Introduction, that, after all, these serial volumes might be regarded in the same light as so many catalogues of public or private collections, I have now the gratifving h 102923 INTRODUCTION. announcement to add, that a comijlcte Index to the Handhooh and the three Series of Collections and Notes is in preparation by Mil. Gray of Cambridge, who has most generously volunteered to do the work, and will form a separate volume, to be published by Mr. Quaritch, when it is completed. I have incorporated (generally with additions and corrections) in my volumes by degrees nearly the whole of the Bibliotheca Anglo-Poet ica, Corser's Collectanea (excepting, of course, the lengthy and elaborate extracts and annotations), the British Museum Catalogue of Early Unglish Boohs to ISJfi, the Typogrcqihical Antiquities of Ames, Herbert and Dibdiu, the Chatsworth, Huth, Ashburnham, and other private cabinets, and the various publications of Haslewood, Park, Utterson, and Collier. Since the Second Series came from the press in 1882, several large private libraries have been dispersed under the hammer, and all the articles previously overlooked by me have been duly taken up into my pages. I may enumerate, for example's sake, the celebrated collections of the Earl of Jersey, the Earl of Gosford, Mr. James Crossley of Man- chester, Mr. Payne Collier, the Duke of Marlborough, Mr. Hartley, Mr. N. P. Simes of Horsham, Sir Ptichard Colt Hoare, Mr. Michael Wodhull, Sir Thomas Phillipps of Middle-Hill, the Kev. J. Fuller Eussell, Mr Henry Pyne, and Professor Solly. For kindness and help extended to me I have again to thank my friends at the British Museum, especially Mr, George B alien and Mr. George Fortescue; and Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson, and Hodge, the eminent auctioneers, have continued to afford me every possible facility in examining, before the time of sale, the important properties which have passed through their hands during the last five or six years — since, indeed, the former volume was completed and published. The leading topics under which the articles in these Collections ranjre themselves are : — A. B. C. Agriculture. Ale. Almanacks. Americana. Anatomy. Anj,'ling. Archajology. Architecture. Aritlimelic. Astrology. Asirononiy, Ballads. Bee -culture. lieer. Bibliography. Biography. Botany. Brewing. Call i graph y. Cambro-British literature. Cartography. Chemistry. Cliocolate.

Their importance had been recognised long before his time by the publication of the Haiician Miscellany and the Somcrs Tracts. INTRODUCTION. My pages abound with this fugitive literature, from the earliest period to the accession of the House of Orange ; and I may add that I have had the advantage of recently going through the original series of volumes collected by Lord Chancellor Somers (30 folios), and selecting for my purpose a large number of rare broadsides and other small temporary pieces, besides the exceedingly rare and interesting editio princeps of the Laics of New York, 1694, and other examples of early New York typography. I am glad to have had this historical set of books under my own eyes ; and it furnished me with the means of supplying many gaps. The vast stores of which I have constituted myself the cataloguer and describer, are, of course, of various degrees of merit, just as they are of an endless variety of character. First-rate capacity and value are generally calculable by units. There is only one Shakespear (although the admirers of Mr. Browning imagine that there are two !), only one Ealeigh, only one Cromwell. But my Collections, when they are attentively looked at, present more than a single aspect, in which they possess, or should possess, interest and worth for my countrymen and for English speakers throughout the world. For they are rich in historical, political, social, and literary illustrations of every kind. They are monumental records of the life of the past. They are the legacies of thousands of intelligent human beings, who were to their century what we try to be to ours — contri- buting factors to its improvement, instruction, and pleasure. Among other noteworthy points, the extraordinary storehouse of proper and Christian names, which tlie present volume and its predeces- sors constitute, the biographical information, the extensive assemblage of broadsides relating to topographical and personal history, and the clues casually afforded by the prefaces or dedications to old ways of life and obsolete street nomenclature, are deserving of attention. Notions concerning authors and other public men are apt to vary and fluctuate. The line of distinction between Shakespear and his con- temporaries was not so broadly drawn a century ago ; he has been an object of idolatry scarcely more than thirty years, when the writings of Schlegel, Tieck, Coleridge, Lamb, and Hazlitt had had their influence in directing the public attention to his unique power. Yet in some respects the obscurer writers of other times have an even stronger claim on our attention than those who are, to say nothing more, too well known and too firmly established in favour to require bibliographical resuscitation or enshrinement. It adds little indeed to Spenser or Milton to accord them a place in these columns of mine ; but they find themselves in the boolc as of right, and I am glad enough to see them here ; for they brighten the gloom, and leaven the dough. INTRODUCTION. The strength of this and the three companion volumes lies, however, after all, not in the registration of first-rate works and standard authors of the past, but in the classified assortment of about five and twenty thousand articles belonging to all branches of literature, science, and art, under the names of the writers, or, where they are anonymous, under the subject or the locality with which they happen in each case to be connected. How striking becomes, under such conditions, the aphorism that Union is Power ! In the most cursory and superficial study of the following pages, hundreds of items meet the eye which have possibly no individual significance or weight, but which, ranged under heads pur- suantly to a given plan, acquire a clear aggregate utility and rank. The sooner the widely-prevailing misapprehension as to our indepen- dence of the past is removed, assuredly the better. Between the trans- actions of prior ages and of this one, which is before our eyes, there are, on the contrary, an indissoluble link and uncountable points of touch and relationship, and by the light of what was done or thought by our progenitors, I conceive it possible, nay as much as probable, that the now extant Englishman may come to a readier and more true compre- hension, amid the ever-recurrent incidents of political and social life, of the nature, bearings, and just treatment of questions of the day. The England in which we dwell is one with the England which lies behind us. So far as tlie period which I comprehend goes, it is one country and one race ; and I do not think that we should precipitately and unkindly spurn the literature, which our foregoers left to us and to our descendants for ever, because it may at first sight strike us as irrelevant to our present wants and feelings, because it may seem unpolished, or because we may be of opinion that sufficient and best for an age is the work of an age. The considerer of modern opinions and customs is too little addicted to Retrospection. He seems to me too shy of profiting, on the one hand by the counsels or suggestions, on the other by the mistakes, of the men who have crossed the unrepassable line ; who have already dealt with the topics and problems with which he has to deal ; m'Iio have advised or resisted the Remedial Measures which he is perhaps at this very moment advising or resisting. It appears as if each generation of us preferred to think, discover, err for itself, somewhat on the same principle as the little maiden in the story, who would rather see and suffer the folly of her conduct than listen to the maternal warning. Let me exhort our public men henceforward, if they seek to preside with honour and influence over an educated Democracy, to lend closer attention to literature and its teachings ; to have an eye to something higher and broader than mere Parliamentary effect ; to hold it as part of INTRODUCTION. the education of an English statesman to cultivate an intellectual reach and a philosophical outlook, and not to live, as it were, from hand to mouth, and set his watch to Greenwich time. I should love to see our governing body calculating their speech and thought for something more solid and noble than a transient party meri- dian, and not ostensibly judging the treasures and lessons of bygone times to be as lumpish and inarticulate as the pillar of salt, which had been the wife of Lot the Just. The politician, whose sentiments are as current as the coinage, for- gets that the past and the present are a Federation in as large a degree as we and our colonies are. He can judge only by halves. Arithme- tically speaking, he is not an integer, but a fraction. Let him take a new departure, and unite the reputation for culture with enlarged administrative sympathies and experience. It seems strange that our public men should not sometimes cast their eyes back and study ques- tions which come before them by the light of their aspect or handling in former days. But the statesman aspires to be a creator of history ; and, God-amercy, very odd history he often creates. Turning to Ire- land alone, what a number of books there are which would yield suggestive and profitable matter to the Executive ! I annex the short titles of a few which readily present themselves. But there are many more in this and also in the other volumes, as a reference to the General Index will shew. They were chiefly written by men of expe- rience and observation, in some cases by eye-witnesses or by practical politicians : — Borlase (E.), The History of tlie Exe- crable Irish Rebellion, folio, IGSO. C. (J.), The State of the Papist and Protestant Proprietors in the King- dom of Ireland, 1641-53, 4°, 1689. Eachard (Laurence), An Exact De- scription of Ireland, 12°, 1691. French (Nicholas), Narrative of the Earl of Clarendon's Settlement and Sale of Ireland. 4", 1676, 1704. Story (George), True and Impartial History of the most Material Occur- rences in Ireland during the Two last Years, 4°, 1690. Walker (George), True Account of the Siege -of Derry, 4°, 1689. Walsh (Peter), A Prospect of the Es- tate of Ireland, 8", 1682. Ware (Sir James), Antiquities and History of Ireland, folio, 1705. Tlie truth is, that it was not my original intention to devote so con- siderable a space to Irish political and general literature ; but the late Mr. Henry Bradshaw informed me, when I last saw him in London, that the project for publishing a new Bihliotlicca Hihcrnica had been, as he understood, relinquished, and I therefore resumed my old practice of taking notes of such items as fell in my way, or were more or less readily accessible. The extensive assemblage of tracts and broadsides on Irish affairs, which I have now registered, cannot be ignored by any future historian. INTRODUCTION. Macaulay employed that class of material to a certain extent in his book ; but his researches were very imperfect and superficial. It should be observed that I have made it enter into my scheme, in this as well as in the other divisions or instalments of my labours in this particular direction, to furnish the reader or consulter with some- thing more than the bare title of a book in all instances where I per- ceived matter of special interest in the preface or the dedication, or the body of the volume ; and even if the cii-cumstances did not necessitate such a course, I have laid before the public the full particulars from the work itself, and not, as is generally done, an abbreviated text of it. The cogency of resorting to originals in all instances has grown upon me more and more ; and the difference between a bibliographical account of any given production with that production lying before you, and an account borrowed, and perhaps spoiled in the loan, is wider than the difference between the Portland Vase and the cheapest replica of it, since in the former case the original lines, the ijmsswia verha, are lost. It might be thought invidious if I were to set in parallel columns my own descrip- tion of a book and that of Lowndes or Allibone; but the juxtaposition would generally prove edifying, and not seldom ludicrous. In my Handbook, 1867, which was my maiden essay in the present department, I inserted entries for which I was a debtor to others ; and I have found it the rule, not the exception, that the discrepancy between the actual titles and those supplied by my authorities was only a question of degree. I have it in my power to adduce examples, where the two would be hardly identifiable. Now, I must conclude that these men, who enjoyed the highest repu- tation for accuracy and scholarship, were not incompetent to transcribe what they had under their eyes, but were deficient in a sense of what they owed to their immediate readers, to posterity, and to themselves. It is in turning over the pages of such works as the Grenville, Chat- worth, Corser, and Huth Catalogues, that one becomes more thoroughly aware of the magnitude of an attempt to grasp the whole of our miscel- laneous early printed literature in a small series of volumes like these of mine. A large private library is, after all, a mere handful — a book here and there ; while the contents of the Bibliothcca Anglo- Poctica or the Rowfant gatherings may be held, as it were, between finger and thumb. Taking away the ordinary publications and works of reference, which are or may be common to every collection, all libraries, save the British Museum and the Bodleian, are individually unimportant in a broad and general sense, and are apt to be regarded by an experienced investi- gator with the eyes with whicli Mr. Gulliver saw the folk of Lilliput. This feeling may sound disrespectful and ungracious, though I have no wish that it sliould be so construed ; and it may prove to be at vari- INTRODUCTION. aiice with that entertained by others. But it has forced itself upon me marvellously since I have had such unparalleled opportunities of gauging the most famous assemblages of ancient and curious literature formed in Great Britain in the course of the last and present century, as they have periodically migrated from their resting-places to the sale-room. I imagine that of all the private collectors who ever lived, the one whose range was vastest, and whose familiarity with the innumerable volumes which he amassed together was most conspicuous, was Kiciiard Heber ; and I will say that, had he made it part of his gigantic plan to reduce his acquisitions to some lucid order, the BiUiothcca Hcbcriana would have remained the grandest monument of the kind ever built up by an individual. But with all his perseverance, enthusiasm, knowledge, and scholar- ship, Heber unhappily failed to unite judgment and method; and his incomparable library resembled the condition of the universe, as it is depicted in the opening lines of the Metamoiylioscs of Ovid. I trust that it may not be considered that, in describing an insignifi- cant and obscure publication, I have often erred in being too copious. But I desire it to be recollected in my defence, that (as I have said) the object which I have been all along proposing to myself was not one, but manifold ; that I aimed at laying before my constituents in this and other countries a good deal more than a meagre summary of bibliogra- phical particulars ; and that, so far as considerations of space and cost might allow, I aspired to raise my Work to the dignity of a Catalogue Kaisonne, or, at all events, of a Descriptive Calendar. In order, however, not to claim on my title-page more than appears to be my fair due, I have christened the Three Series now completed Bibliographical Col- lections AND Notes. In honest truth, with this unexampled accumulation of faithful and laborious record before them for reference and judgment, my fellow- students will, I hope and believe, be brought round to the conclusion that the long space of time, and the large proportion of my maturer life, consumed in accomplishing the result which they see, piecemeal and volume by volume as I could, not only without any pecuniary requital, but at a very serious loss, have not from a literary and public point of view been uselessly expended. I have only to add, that for the loan of the block of Wynkyn de Worde's device, which is on the title-page, I am indebted to tlie courtesy of Messrs. Wyman & Son. The other three woodcuts are from the originals in my own possession. W. C. H. ]>AKNK3 Common, Suuuey, January 1SS7. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL COLLECTIONS AND NOTES. A. Th., J.C. Catholiqve Traditions . . .

First eilition of a highly popular and successful book, which passed through many impressions in Germany before the close of the XVth century. That so many should have been demanded is a powerful evidence of the different notions and tastes in literary matters which formerly pre- vailed. Wynkyn de Worde, in the English edition printed at Westminster before 1501, states that Caxton executed an impression of the Work at Cologne in Latin. Probably he refers to tliis ; but Caxton, perhaps, did little more, if he was actually concerned in its production, tlian assist iu setting up the text as a journeyman.

This English version, the earliest known to survive, of iv writer whom Wartou styles the Gotliic Pliny, but who seems to have borrowed much of his material from the Speculum Historialc of Vincent of Beauvais, was executed by John Trevisa, Canon of Westbury in Gloucestershire. His conclu- sion or envoy occurs on oo iij verso, and states that tlie translation, made at the request of Thomas Lord Berkeley, was ended the 6th of February, lo98-9, in the 47th year of liis lordship's age. See Hazlitt's Weirton, 1871, ii. 297. Bibliograidiers have usually ascribed this noble old volume to 1494; but I see no authority for that date. Her- bert thought that Ames might have liad some reason for his statement to this effect, because hisown copy wanted the concluding leaf, which might have had a note of the year of printing ; but that leaf is in the Museum copy, and does not bear any evi- dence of the kind. Nor do I observe any exact internal clue. BATES, GEOEGE, and SKINNER, THOMAS.
