V n si va fo in Pi to ar H th of a] Ct he Cc an th( lee col of Sp EXPLANATORY required loss is for, aU sale. ithfully )aE, |FTER a life- long Collector has passed his three score years and fairly entered upon the downhill of Life, it becomes him to pause, and, like the House of Commons, as the close of the Session approaches, scrutinize his docket and throw out such projects, favourite and otherwise, as are, for various causes, not likely to be brought to maturity; a policy necessary for the success of the rest. In this view the under- signed submits to unreserved competition the first portion of his miscellaneous historical collections as described by himself in the following pages. He has ventured on a somewhat new departure in describing the less known lots with brief collations, names of printers, and in not a few instances, with bibliographical and his- torical notes, while the better known and more important books are left to stand on their recognized merits to protect themselves. He trusts that this will be so understood, though he confesses that the extended notes are in many cases disproportioned to the value of the lots to which they are attached. They are intended to give a bibliographical flavour to the whole, and if possible to lift the Catalogue out of the common run, hoping that it may be deemed hereafter of some bibliographical use to Librarians, and to Collectors of this class of Books and Manuscripts. The Collections are very miscellaneous, and no attempt has been made to classify them beyond the democratic alphabet, but if the persevering Col- lector reads to the end he will have noticed nearly all of the great collections of early Voyages and Travels, together with very many of the separate voyages of the earliest English, Dutch, French and Spanish Navigators ; books relating to the East and West India mmm IV EXPLANATORY Companies, Dutch and English ; the English and French Colonies in North America ; Canada, New England, New Netherlands, Penn- sylvania and Virginia ; Brazil, Mexico, Peru, and other parts of Spanish America ; China, Japan, India, Australia, the Philippines, the Moluccas, and the Isles of the Seas ; Greenland, Iceland and the Northern Eegions generally. Besides these tliere wUl be found many uncommon books relating to the early history of America ; the American Ee volution ; and the war of 1812, all pertaining alike to American and English History; also examples of early printing in America, especially New England, and e great variety of miscellaneous American Literature, political, historical, geo- graphical, genealogical, local and general. Besides the Americana, mention should be made of the great collections of Early English Black Letter Eobin Hood and other Ballads, rivalling in importance and quality, not in number, the famous Eoxburgh Collection; the first edition of Chaucer's col- lected works, 1532, and various others. Among the Manuscripts particular* attention is called to the unrivalled Collection of origi.al autograph Poems of Eobert Burns ; the collection of transcripts for the Life and Exploits of Sir Francis Drake ; the original records of the Trustees in London for the Colony of Georgia ; Collections for the History of the Eevolution in New England in Governor Andross's time 1688-1690 ; Papers relating to the progress of the Gospel in New England 1641-1654 ; the important original Eecords of the Colony of Virginia, 1752- 1758, including no less than 18 original Autograph Letters of the youthful George Washington ; Spanish Tracts (69), manuscript and printed (Papeles Varies) mostly relating to America, 1638-1671, believed to have been brought together by Solorzano y Pereyra, author of Politica Indiana and Councillor of the Indies ; and lastly Henry Stevens's entire rRA> klin Collection.

Boston, Edes & Gill, IT vritten by Burns at Kilmarnock in his native Ayr, probably before he was twenty- five, comprises 14 nine-line stanzas, and is generally con- sidered one of the Poet's most successful efforts The "Ordination" first appeared in the Edinhurgh edition of 1787, and has ever since maintained its interest. This manuscript is unquestionably autographic and genuine, but it is more closely written than usual, and is in a somewhat smaller character. Its authenticity cannot be doubted, It differs, however, in . 16 mnny places from the enrlier and later printed vcrsionji, and the various readings are numerous. Besidew, the handwriting appcara more ynulliful and less formed. Let the eritic notiee the heading and the name of " Rab Rhymer." Let him also notice that the motto in two lines at the beginning is not quoted as in the printed editions, but instead has as its author "liuhKeniij;" which is French for rivulets or hums, an ingenious way of signing liis own niinie. Also in the seventh line let him see the name " Crooki's's " afterwards altered to Beghie't, but above all let him scan the fourteenth line. "This d.ay Mckin[lay] taks the flail." This line has generally been considered as giving the date to the poem, for that gentleman was ordained the (ith of April, 17HG. Now the young man Mi'kinlay " took the flail " when he succeeded Mullric and became the colleague of Old Robertson one of the " twa drones." The ordination therefore may have taken place after many months trial or use of the preacher's flail. Burns intimates, 17th Feb. 1780, that he had written this Poem on the Laigh Kirk of Kilmarnock. It might therefore have appeared in the Kilmarnock edition of that year. But it did not. It is not unlikely therefore that the present title is an afterthought, for the Edinburgh edition, to give it a less local and personal character. A better title would be the Laioh KiRK. From all these circumstances one is forced to the conclusion that this is really an earlier Pt)em than has been hitherto supposed. In order that there may be no mistake in the readings, an exact transcript is given of the whole Poem. It is written on the four pages of a foolscap sheet of paper, and is neatly bound in limp red morocco extra by Pratt.

London, 1786 The story of this rare tract is wortli repeating, as part of the history of the Old First Church in New Ensland, which when abandoned as a church may be used as a museum of rare Boston notions and curiosities, of which this should be one. This Society in the days of the venerable Dr. Chauncy was rich and of the patrician or Beacon Street Order. Some of it- members were prominent in good works, but as the hat was passed round so often they had acquired the safe habit of being the first to put their hands in their pockets in cases of charity and public subscriptions, and the last to take them out. They countenanced good works and always rejoiced to see others do them. In 1786 they felt the want of an Organ, and as their Pastor was a man of extraction, having received large sums of money from Mr. Thomas Brands Hollis for Harvard College, they prevailed upon him to write to this gentleman in London and endeavour to extract from him JEOOO for the said organ. Instead of granting this extraordinary request Mr. Hollis caused 500 copies of this Tbactatb to be printc.i and sent over to the Pastor, Deacons and Members of the " Old First," endeavouiing thereby to inculcate in them that modesty and simplicity in their public worship, which was formerly Bostonian, but which they were now apparently outgrowing. Never befoi'c or since probably was there ever so much polite gammon or pious sarcasm concealed in so small a book. What became of the 500 copies is not known. The tract is now scarce, only two or three copies being known. 119 Church of England in America.

The author went to Virginia during tlie Old French War, and gleaned his information respecting the dlnsentcra of the northern colonies by correspondence with the Church of England missionaries there. His abuse and information are really amusing, his news being lo distorted and up-side down as to be worth reading even now as curiosities. 20 120 Cincinnati.

Remarks on the American Universal Geography [of Rev. Jedediah Morse] by J. F. clean and uncut, 62 pp. 8vo. Boston, Belknap d; Hall, 1793 This scarce tract exhibits, a severe overhauling, dissection, and general sitting-to- rights of the enlarged edition of Morse's Geography. J. F. points out the author's want of uniformity and method ; inconsistences, contradictions, defective maps, deficient judgment of materials and authorities ; general bias and particular pre- judices ; thorough haste and profound carelessness ; mistakes, confusion and omissions. Though not taken with a very good gr.ace, it is not to be denied, that the influence of this tract on American topographical history and geography, both general and local, was efficient, marked and salutary. Morse's subsequent editions show all this. But Morse contended that while he was " Orthodox," J. F. was Arrian, and the attack was a step in revolutionizing the constitution of Harvard College and turning a Congregational into a Unitarian Institution. 225 Farmer (A Yankee) Peace without dishonour — war without hope.

Transactions of the Trustees for the Estab- lishment OF the Colony of Georgia in America, being the Original Manuscript Records, never yet printed, of their Meetings, weekly or oftener, held in London between the 14th of June, 1738, and the 24th of May, 1744, together with a full Index of the Proceedings of the previous year from June 1737 to Juno 1738, and a parcel of notices of meetings, notes and memoranda a year or two later to 1746 or '47, the whole giving detailed accounts of the doings of the several meetings of the Common Council, the Board of Trustees, the Committees of Correspondence, the Committees of Accounts, etc. comprising a great deal of private and secret correspon- dence, evidence, gossip, and minute details respecting Officers, agents, colonists, parsons, servants, adventurers, Indians, negroes, charity-sweepings, jail birds, blacklegs, deported paupers, laudsharks, etceteras. Two volumes in folio, very closely written, mostly in tlie neat small round Juind of Sir John Perceval ilic first Earl of Egmont, the President of the Board of Trustees, the soul of the Enterprise at Iwme, as General Oglethorp was the spirit of it in Georgia It is impossible to give bore any adequate idea of the historical value and literary importance of these two Volumes for the History, biography and bibliography of the Province of Ueorgia, the youngest of the thirteen British Colonies in America, all fronting on the Atlantic, with tL ur back doors, according to their charters, front- ing on the South Sea or Pacific. These two volumes arc the Sibylline leaves of Georgian History. What has become of the five or six other volumes referred to frequently in the.se records, is not known, but what remains covers the half dozen most important and eventful years of trial Trust under the Old Charter. These volumes arc marked 2 Sc Si. the third breaking off in the midtile of the volume at May 24, 1741, the remainder being blank paper, because probably of the ill health of the Earl of Egmont. Vol. I probably contained the records of the first seven years, 17;!2to June 1738. Internal reference shows that Egmont kept several volumes of letters in two scries, one of letters to tieorgia and the other of letters from Georgia to the Trustees. The more important of them, however, are noted in these volumes, from day to day, in their chronological order. The matter speaks for iiself, being full, concise and to the point, exceedingly well written, clear, honest, and convincing. Indeed, it is ready for the press at once, and is all well worth jjrinting. The matter has been cast off roughly, and is found to be sufficient to fill two ordinary domy octavo vommcs in pica type, clo.se set, of 0(X) pages each That is, the manuscript, allowing for blanks, m.'ikcs about C2u full folio pages, closely written, averaging WIO words on a full page, or in all about !)12,()00 words, enough to cost HH). for record co])ying and revising at the u^ual price of fdur pence per folio of 72 words. Hence at the usual valuation of three times the expense of ft t'o/>y the original should |)roi;'-or, 8' . .om found in the book. This copy has it in excellent facsimile fro ■• ii:-.t ia rae British Museum, so well done as to be detected with difficulty. 242 GIUSTINLVil (Agostino) Castioatissimi Annali di Genoa.

Gorges has been much blamed for pirating, or rather appropriating Johnson's Wonder Wurking Prtnndencc, \)Vih\iH\\QiX by N.Brooke in 1G54, and by cancelling title and preface incorporating it entire in this work, with new title and introduction. We are now for the first time enabled to explain this matter and clear Gorges of the imputation of literary thievery. Johnson's book belonged to Brooke, and not being swift of sale, after four years, when publishing Gorges' book, he took upon himself the responsibility of working in and off his dead stock. As soon as Gorges 'ound out this trick of his publisher he inserted in the Mcraurins Pitblicut, Newspaper of the 13th Sept. 1660, the following " Adveutisement. I Ferdinando Gorqeb, the entitulud Author of a late Book, called Ahebioa Painted to the Life, om injured in that additional Part, called Sion's Saviour IN New Enuland, (as written by Sir Ferdinando Gorges ;) that being none of his, and formerly printed in another name, the true o-mer." 248 249 Granados ^Joseph Joaquin) Tardes Americanas : Gobiemo gentil y catolico : breve y particular Noticia do toda la Historia Indiana, soiled copy, plate at p. 8, oilier two wanting ito.

Tliough his name does not appear, yet the work ii unmistakably his, and it appears in the list of bis 283 works at the end of his Life, 51 With all his wit and startling quaintncss, it appears that even he had to preach against the drowsiness of his hearers. There are men of a ' drowsy Constitution ' whose only effective and determined spirit on a Sunday is ' the Spirit of Slumber.' To overcome this the Doctor makes a ' Proposal that it may become fashionable for us to ivahe one another.' Take notes of Sermons, he cries, ' The pen of Ready Writers would be a cure for the Heavy Sleeper.' Indeed this sermon on Sleep is one of Cotton Mathers best Essays. 2, This book, neat, tidy and well printed, came from the Boston press of Jameb Franklin, at a time when his younger brother Benjamin Fbanklin, a lad of 13 or 14, was iorcman or manager. There is a tasteful head piece, and an initial letter. 360 Mathee (Cotton) Genuine Christianity; or, a True Christian both in Life and in Death.

This learned discourse is a good example of his wonderful power and freedom, 391 Mayhew (Jonathan, Pastor of the West Church in Boston) A Dis- course concerning unlimited submission and non-resistance to the higher powers, with some reflections on the resistance made to King Charles I. and on the anniversary of his Death : in which the Mysterious doctrine of that Prince's Saintship and Martyrdom is unriddled, delivered 30th Jan. 1749, iSpp. 8vo. Boston, 1750 ; reprinted by Hall & Goss, 1818 The sentiments of this historical Discourse delivered in Boston on the first Cen- tennial Anniversary of the Execution of Charles the First by this rising son of New England, at the age of 2!), in George the II's reign, in due growth culminated in the Declaration of Independence. Years and years later, on the 30th of January, Charles' Saint's Day, while in London the bells of St. Martin were tolling, the bells of Centre Church in New Haven, behind which Gofl, Whaley and Dixwell three of the " Regicides," were buried, rang a merry peal for Liberty and the Constitution. 392 Megisser (HiERONYMUS) Septentrio Nouantiquus, oder die newe Nort Welt, dark blue morocco extra by Pratt 8vo.

Boston, 1769 This fearless exposing of the non-importation agreement and schemes of certain " Well disposed " Merchants of Boston is now valuable for many more points than when published in 1769. John Mein, an enterprising Scotchman, had established a good miscellaneous business in Boston as printer, stationer, bookbinder and book- seller and publisher. He declined to sign the non-importation agreement, and was consequently " posted " by name in the Papers by the " Well Disposed," and every town in the Colony warned against trading with him. Seeing the trickery of the well-disposed merchants, Mein, having the Chronicle at his back, not only printed the names of the leading merchants calling themselves the " Well Disposed," but printed the full " cockets " and manifests of many ships arriving, with the names of the owners and consignees. These lists then fully supported Mein, but now are valuable sources of the state of the Colony and its trade and traders, such as John Hancock and his neighbours, who vainly attempted to isolate him, 394 Mellen (John, of tlie Church in Lancaster, Mass.)

The Admiral gave four days later an evasive reply without admitting the suspicion. He wa* then summoned before the Commissioners, brow-beaten and charged with the authorship, and an answer yet or m demanded.

Mr. Muller ranked this edition, for some reason not fully cxj)lained, as the xecond instead of the Jirst. This and the Amsterdam edition of the same year are equally rare, and both bear the name of Willem Jansz [Blauw] at the end of the dedication, with the date of 2i> Sept. 1018. The Amst. edition has the name of Willntn Jansz. in the imprint while tlais has Ian lansz, probably hi.s father. Both editions have in some few copies known the old map of the world by Willem Jansz. dated lt;O0, but with the addition of Terra del Fiirgo and Frettim le Maire, so named in 161(!. This edition, be it the first or second, is not in the British Museum, and it is difficult to find materials to settle the doubt, 'i'he expedition of Sch,>uten and Le Maire wus 80 important, and the work so sugtrestive of new gecjgraphical notions, that there were no less than six editions iu I>utcli and French the flrst year Ki 18, and as many in 1019, including the two separrte ones in Latin. It appeared in 1019, also in German in part xvi of Hulsius, and part xi of Ue Bry's America, both Latin and German. 781 SCHOUTEN (Willem Cornelisz) L -vrnal / Ou / Description / du merveilleux voyage de Gvilliavme / Schovten, Hollandois natif de Hoorn, / fait es amines 1015, 1616 & 1617. / Comme (en circumnavigeant le globe terrestre) il a descouvert / vers lo Zud du destroit de Magellan un nouveau passage, / jusques a la grande Mer de Zud. / Ensemble, / Des avantures admirables qui luy sont advenues en / decouvrant de plusieurs Isles, & peuples estranges. / [Fignette], A Amsterdam, / Chez Guillauiae lanson, Van 1618./ vill and 88 pages, complete ivith all the nine maps and 2)lates, fine, large and clean copy, vellum Mo.

It is diliicult to say definitely which edition is prior, though Mr. MuUer gives that honour to Blauw's, why we know not. He, however, is certainly mistaken about the mixed plates.

Tot Hoorn, Gedmckt by Isaac Willemsz. Voor Ian lansz. Deutel, 1648 The editor in this edition takes a new departure. In a preface to the reader on the back of the title he intimates that, of the twenty editions of this celebrated Voyage round the World the more recent ones were rather a disgrace than a monu- ment to the town of Hoorn, by reason of the bad paper, print and illustrations. He proposes to remedy this by giving good paper and plates, and by revising and adding to the text by means of other manuscript journals kept by those on the same Voyage, viz. Le Maire and Aris Claesz. In this way ho has revised and added to the text, and re-ingraved or retouched the maps and plates, and printed all in good style on good paper. Mr. Muller under his No. 52 traces the plates to their origin. A flying lish and some coast lines are added in coarse woodcuts in the text. At the end in pages 53 — 50 is for the first time added a Vocabvlaer ofte Tale van de Eylanden which is a list of common words of the several islands, ex- plained in Dutch. The Islands so noticed are, the Stilovum Islands, the Cocoa Island, New Guinea, Moyses ^' Moo Islands. The maps and plates are numbered from 2 to 9. No. I (Map of the World) is not in this copy, nor have we ever been able to see it in this edition, though called for in the register. Mr. Muller also confesses to his never having met vnth it. We have seen it supplied from other editions. 98 786 SCHOUTEN (Willem Cornelisz) Oost-enWest-IndischeVoyagie, Door de Strate Magallanes naer de Moluques, met ses Schepen onder den Commandeur lORls Spilbergen.

Gov. Belcher appointed Dec. 3 for the Solemnity in the Council Chamber. The Rev. Dr. Sewall preached Nineveh's Repentance and fervently pointod out to the General Court by way of Deliverance the abuse of Taverns and the want of a suitable circulating medium of Trade, that is, he recommended them to look to their 'Hills of Public Credit,' so that the people might strike a fair balance in their private and mercantile affairs ; "for a false Balance is abomination to the Lord." 797 Sewall (Joseph, Pastor of a Church in Boston) All Flesh is as Grass ; but the Word of the Lord endureth for ever.

London, I. H. fm- Edivard Blackmore, 1632 A good, clean and sound copy, except that some of the maps have been restored in the mai'gin. It has been the fashion to depreciate Capt. John Smith of late years and discredit some of the statements made respecting him and his achieve- ments rocnrdcd in this volume. But when it is recollected that the materials of this volume were placed in the hands of the Rev. William Simmons, of Oxford, afterwords Rector of St. Saviour's, Soutbwark, cut down, edited and published 103 by him in 1612, and only moderately restored in 1623, by Smith himself when most of his friends and enemies were alive and ready to vindicate or accuse him of untruthfulness ; and when we call to mind that most of the charges made against him came to light in Massachusetts just at a time when it was deemed desirable to take Virginia's pride down ; and this too by men who had not sufficiently studied the origin of the book and the history of its compilation, it is only fair to say that the disinterested case against Capt. John Smith and his Historic of Virginia is far from made out, and that the tough, stout-heivrted, honest explorer, surveyor and sometimes Governor of Virginia still stands the unrivalled hero and benefactor of Virginia and friend of the estimable Pocahontas. 832 SMITH (Capt.

The young King of Spain, Charles, had asked Columbus respecting the benevolent scheme of La.s Casas for civilizing and christianizing the Indians or Terra Firma, urging the Admiral's co-operation. This is Don Diego Columbus's favourable reply.

President of Yale College) The United States elevated to Glory and Honor. A Sermon before His Ex- cellency Jonathan TnimbuU, Governor, and the Gen.

It fills nearly 100 closely printed pages. The learned President had been long cramming for an ecclesiastical and civil record of America, and during the war had collected exten- sively, materials for a political history of the United States. As soon as the War was over he \va.s in 'ited by the Legislature of Connecticut to give the Anniversary Election Sermon. His heart enlarged with the occasion. It was a grand oppor- tunity to fire the first historical gun of Peace. The work is a full and condensed account of the origin, progress, standing and prospects of the United States. A most important and opportune work, but never fully appreciated, being considered out of place and overdone. There are many jokes afloat respecting the size, weight and stuffing of the ' IScrmon.^ On one occasion shortly after the Peace, the Presi- dent, Professor and Students at Yale were endeavouring, but in vain, to make a balloon go up in honour of the occasion. There was something wTong with the gas and the President asked one of the Students what was to be done to make the balloon rise ? The reply was, ' I think, Mr. President, if you would throw in one of your Election Sermons it might go up.' However, the 'Sermon' has gone up since, and though weighted as a Sermon it is really one of the best early histories of the United States. 912 Stiles (Ezra, President of Yale College) The United States Elevated to Glory and Honor, another copy, good 913 Stiles (Ezra, D.D.

Solomon, Minister of Nortlmmpton, Massachu- setts) One hundred and forty-seven Autograph Manu- script Sermons, neatly written in microscopic characters and bound in a small duodecimo volume of 300 pages, of which there are blank spaces equal to 80 full pages That is 147 full Sermons occupy only about 220 full pages, the writing being so very minute, that but few persons have eyes sharp enough to read a line, yet by magnifying it one sees how plain and beautiful is the handwriting. The Volume is in the original primitive New England sheepskin binding : and is a wonderful production. Mr. Stoddard was one of tlie most prominent of the Ministers of New England, born in Boston 1G43, graduated at Harvard (Allege in 1(!()2, and was ordained at Northampton, Mass. in 1G72, where he preached most of the time till his death in 1729, aged 85. In 1727 his grandson Jonathan Edwards became his colleague. He was an author of eminence ; and this little volume is a remark- able relic or memorial of a remarkable man. The History of the volume is recorded on one of the fly-leaves in the following Letter ; — " The Rev. John Rippon, D.D., Southwark, London. Rev. Sir, It having been suggested by my worthy friend Capt. T. Edwards that it would probably gratify your curiosity to be possessed of some Original Manuscript of my Great Grandfather the Rev. Solomon Stoddard, I beg leave to present you the one annexed, being almost the only one, which has escaped the ravages of time.

[London, 1741 ?] Though this very rare book was written in the apirit of an unappreciated man it is full of information, and is perhaps one of the most important books for the early history of Medicine in the American Colonies, especially Virginia. Old Dr. Banner- man of Middlesex County, Virginia, wrote to his correspondent in Edinburgh to send out to him a youth competent to become his medical assistant. Young Tennent was accordingly sent in 1727 in his 17th year. Dr. B. dying soon after his assistant became a practicing physician at the age of 18. He 8oon became acquainted with the uses of the " Saneca rattle-make root," and being of an inquisitive mind applied this medicine not (mly to bites of rattlesnakes but in curing tho.se diseases which poison tlie blood somewhat in the manner of rattlesnake venom. This invention was announced by the publication of a little book at Williamsburg in 1736, entitled " An Ksmy on tlie Plearisy" reprinted in Phil, and New York. So sanguine was he that he bought up large quantities of snaJte root for use in Virginia and sent quantitici to London. The next year, 1737, he came to Europe to announce his discoveries and reap the rewards, bringing letter's from Governor bpotswood and others to Dr. Meade and Sir Hans Sloane and many more. The young man was not received with the warmth he expected in London, though he was by no means neglected, He next proceeded with recommendations to Edin- burgh, and was again disappointed by not receiving a Medical Degree. While there he published his Epistle to Dr. Mead, 8vo. 1738, which was reprinted therein 1742. But his circumstances were such that he was obliged to return to Virginia. Out of money and in debt, his friends the Qovernor and Council recommended his 121 case aa a benefactor of mankind to the Burgesses for some suitable reward out of the public chest. At first the House declined, but on secontl application of the Council voted him £ 100 currency. The Doctor expected £ 1000 or £2000, and hence withdrew from Virginia, and, returning to London, applied to the Admiralty to be sent to the West India fleet. Dr. Tennent's books are rare and interesting. 973 Tenney (Caleb J. Pastor of the First Church in Weatherafield) A Ser- mon preached at Weathersfield on the Death of the Rev.

The original manuscript Records or Entry Books of the Colony of Virginia for five years, 1752-1757, during the Administration of Lt. Governor Robert Dinwid- DIE, containing upwards of 950 separate documents and letters in 630 large and closely written folio pages comprising above 6,300 folios, enough to fill if printed (and every scrap should be printed) 3 large octavo volumes, the size of Sparks's Franklin ; including upwards of Sixty letters (many confi- dential and of great historical importance) from the * Old Governor ' to his youthful Friend George Washington, the ' Widow's Son ; ' and no less than Eighteen long and origi- nal Autograph Letters of Washington to Governor dinwiddie, among the earliest known from his pen, written between March 9, 1754, and May 2, 1756, when he was but 22 to 25 years of age folio. 1752-1758 These original and private Records of the Governor of Virginia were among his own papers brought to England early in 1 758. What became of the Colony's Records of this period is not known. From the Colonial Calendar lately published at Richmond they do not appear to exist in Virrinia ; and only a very small propor- tion of them is preserved in the Public Record Olfice in London. These volumes therefore fill the hyatus in the Virginia Archives which so much distressed Chief Justice Marshall, Hcnning and others. They are of the highest historical value, comprising as they do, the Governor's Letter-Books, Correspondence, Speeches and Messages to and from the House of Burgesses, Charges to the Grand Jury, etc. during the most eventful period of Virginian History, the quinquennial that brought out Washington and the many other Virginia officers, patriots and statesmen, schooled them in the ' Old French War ' of I753-17CO, and drilled them for the Union of the Colonies, and the Struggle for National Independence twenty years later. No historian has hitherto given us anything like a trustworthy account of the pioneering operations of Virginia, her marvellous energy in protecting the Western frontiers and arousing the neighbouring Colonies from their ' lethargic supineness ' for two or three years before and for some months after Bkaddock'S Defeat, the 9th July, 1755. The story is fully told in these Virginia Papers. Dinwiddle and Virginia, from very dearth of materials, have hitherto by historians been unjustly shunted, misrepresented and set aside in favor of other colonies, other leaders, and other campaigns, Dinwiddle, however, sooner or later must stand forth on the page of history as the honoured and enterprising champion of the Old Dominion, the promoter of the Union of the Colonies, the patron and firm friend of young George Washington, and the prime mover against the French and their encroachments on the Ohio and elsewhere. A new chapter of Virginia's history drawn from these Papers (long lost but authentic materials), must eventually raise ' the Mother of Presidents ' to her high n.nd true rank among the Original Thirteen Colonies. We trust that the quick-eyed historian will perceive by the following very brief analysis of them, that these papers will restore Dinwiddle to his proper niche, and enable Virginia to resume her Colonial leadership ; for they are to the modern history of that Colony what the old Records of the Virginia Companjr of 1607-1624, now preserved in the Library of Congress, are to the ' Ould Virginia' of Smith, Dale, Gates, Delaware and Yeardly. Those are corner stones of Colonial history. These arc the foundations of the story of the American Republic. The Records then should go back to Old Virginia ; but they would not be out of place by the side of the Declaration of Indcpeudenee and the 257 volumes of Washington's writings in the Department of State ; or the Record Books of the Virginia Com- pany in the Congress Library j or by Hou'.^on's Statue of Washington in the Capitol at Richmond ; or near ' Stuart's v.nflnished Head ' and the 800 volumes bearing Washington's Autographs in the Boston Athenajum ; or as companions to the ' Farewell Address ' in the Lcno.x Library ; or with the Washington Relics in the largest and best of tlic State Libraries, at Albany ; or in the Public Record Office of London next to the original autograph of Washington's Journal to the Ohio ; or, last not least, to stand in the GrenviUo Library, British Museum, next to the original portraits and paintings of the Indians of Virginia, executed by Gover- nor John White in 1585-80, for Sir Walter Raleigh, and engraved in 1590 by Theodore De Bry. Virginia, the United States, and the Mother Country are equally interested in the historical materials contained in these Records. Washington's Papers fell into the hands of the French at Braddock's Defeat, but theBe Papers Hupply many of the 132 deficiencies occasioned by that loss. As to quantity, there are about 75 addresses i messages, speeches and charges to the House of Burgesses and the Grand Jury, 400 letters of Gov. Dinwiddle to various officers in the military service, and 475 to the Governors of other Colonies, the ministry, friends, banker, London agent, etc. ; making in all about 950 separate Documents, addressed as follows to some 160 difEerent bodies and individuals : — Governor Dinwiddie's Letters to — 86 To Ja.

W: I shall more particularly answer wt " relates to Yr Self, & I must begin with expressing both concern Ic surprize, to find " a Gent, whom I so particularly consider'd, & from whom I had so great expectata. " & Hopes, appear so difierently from himself, & give me leave to say mistakenly as " I think, concuring with Complaints in general so ill founded. I am sensible of " Yr Difficulties & You may believe I shall not let Your merit pass unnotic'd. I " believe You sincerely attach'd to Yr Country's Wellfare & Prosperity, wch You " know veiy much depends on the Success of Your present Expcditn. & this I per- "suade myself vrill sweeten the Toils, that You will hereafter reflect on with " Pleasure & engage You to think of nothing less than resigning Yr Comd. or " countenancing in any sort the Discontent that cd. never be more unseasonable " or pernicious than at present," &c. Washington replies on the 29th. " To answer your Honour's Letter of ye 25th " by Mr. Birney. I shall begin with assuring you, that nothing was further from " my intention than to recede, tho' I then press'd and still desire that my services " may be voluntary rather than on the present Pay. I am much concerned that " your Honour should seem to charge me with ingratitude for your generous, and " my undeserved favours, for I assure you Honble. Sir, nothing is a greater stranger " to my Breast, or a Sin that my soul more abhor's than that black and detestable " one. Ingratitude.

After discussing sundry details as to the pay and sentiments of his brother officers he continues " I would not have your Honour imagine from " this, that I have said all these things to have the Pay increas'd — but to justify " myself, and shew your Honour that our complaints are not frivolous, but are " founded upon strict Reason : for my own part, it is a matter almost indifferent " whether I serve for full pay, or as a generous Volunteer ; indeed, did my circum- " stances corrispond with my Inclination, I shd not hesitate a moment to prefer " the Latter : for the motives that lead me here were pure and noble. I had no " view of acquisition but that of Honour, by serving faithfully my King and "Country."

The whole to be offered in ONE Lot (if not previously disposed of) at the upset price of Seven Thousand Pounds. lURlNG THIRTY YEARS Mr HeNRY STEVENH HAS LOST NO opportunity of adding to his collection of materials for the Life, Times and Works of Franklin. Stioner or later everything saleable is believed to turnup in London, the centre of money and mutability. Here it is said most do congregate historical materials and historic doubts. At all events the present collection is a sample of what one may achieve in a single generation in Ijondon by good luck, persistence, vigilance and a dogged weakness for sacrificing other worldly gains to a pet object. Rightly or wrongly this lias been done and the results are here for the first time summarized and set forth. Has the enthusiastic collector ' paid too dear for his whistle' ? In bringing it together he has exhausted bis three score, and locked up his ' staff of life.' Whether foolish or wise let another generation pmnouuce the verdict. The intrinsic value must be tested and measured, like everything else, by posterity's judgment of the extent and real bistm-ic importance of the collection. There IS probably no man in all history playing a prominent part, who has been more unfortunate in bis record than Bknjamin Franklin. He was iis ciu'eless as Shakspeare of bis literary iuid scii'ntilic reputation. He wns too busy in making history ever to overtake biuiself and find time to sit down iiuietly to record it. His pen was always on the wing, but bis chickens never cane home to roost. When once on the road to fame, be never more had a home of his own, but always lived for the pulilic, the prey of interested friends greedy editors, hungry publishers, enterprising booksellei-s and such like human parasites. Of all his many liooks published during his lifetime, Frank in never revised a proof sheet or saw one of them through the press himself. He invented, but secured no patent : he wrr)te but took no copyright. Yet notwithstanding he was proud of liis achievements in science, in literature, in piditics and in diplomacy ; and he ever petted his parasites. Rut with all this liberality and apparent carelessness he wns parsimonious of his papein though unmethodical in their pre- servation. He took copies of everything, and trusted b>yally to posterity to see him correctly posted into the archives of two hemispheres. But posterity though honest is sometimes dilatory and unfortuimte. It is well known that Franklin's ' Papei's,' l)y his will, became tlie patrimony of his gramlson. It has many times been asserted, and sometimes believeil, that that graiidfon, with some dishonorable motive or purpose, made away with, destmyed, or mutilated the better part of them. These charges still flourish and have been reiterated over and over again, with increasing gusto, for the last eighty yeara, until they liegin to dwarf the real and true history of Franklin and his Times. The Papers, however, still exist, and Truth, as ever, will prevail. "To help kill once more these groundless charges, the writer with his Franklin Collection on his sbouhlers rises to explain. Franklin died ninety years ago. He lived eighty-five years, and left to the world his Autobiography down to his fifty-first year, a masterpioce which makes every one regret that he 160 broke off in tlie very middle of his manhood. What do we know I What can we learn of the last thirty-three years of that eventful life, fropi 1757 to 1790 1 Nearly twenty years of that time were passed in England as agent of Pennsyl- vania and other Colonies, staving off or snaping the inevitable crisis of American Independence. Nino years he passed in I ranee as Minister Plenipotentiary of the Congress during the Revolutionary War for establishing that same American Independency. In all these years, in which a new Nation was born and came of Age, Franklin more than any other one man living might have exclaimed with truth * quorum pars magna f'ui,' but he never did. He left that egotistical classic expression to his coming and going associates, whose envy, malice and all uncharitableness were apparent to his keen eye, and rather amused than offended him. Nothing of this is reached in his Autobiography, but it is found in his unpublished letters with names and dates in full. Many a self-asserting artist has tried to fill out and complete Phidias's matchless, footless and handless figure of Theseus in the British Museum, but no one has yet succeeded. In like manner many an ambitious author has vainly endeavoured to piece out Franklin's Autobiography. The last state of that patch-work is even worse than the first, as one might expect, from the simple reason that the real materials of a Life of Franklin from the end of his Autobiography to the end of his career have been and are still inaccessible. What is more, no writer has for the last sixty years supposed or even suspected that the unpublished papers of Franklin are still in existence. Yet with the exception perhaps of the revised and polished Autobiography, they are fully equal in bmk and importance to what has already been printed. Hence as yet no biography of Franklin : and hence as yet no full and comprehensive history of the foundation and structure of the American Republic. But when this corresponding European portion is added, American History, thanks to Franklin and to France, will assume its due proportions. This IS not all. An important part of the history of the British American Colonies from a little before the acquisition of Canada to the Declaration of Inde- pendence : and of the United SUites from the beginning of the Revolution to the final ratification and adoption of the Federal Constitution, is mixed up and locked up in Franklin's unpublished papers. While the Colonial legislitive Assemblies, and afterwards, the Continental Congress, were working out their great problems and achieving national independence beyond the Atlantic, Franklin, on this side, almost alone, was carrying on the coumterpart of the great work, first in England, and afterwards in France. Congress sat with closed doors and left but meagre recortls, few of its Members being given to pen -work. Franklin on the contrary, sat and deliberated with pen in hand. But for the last sixty, nay ninety years, the main portion of his papers have by the hand of fortune or misfortune become ' things lost upon earth.' Hence American History pines for want of authentic materials. Peter Force, one of America's noblemen, undertook to remedy this misfortune by the publication of his American Archives, but when the Congress, through innate narrowness of party, had endeavoured to break the government contract with him, and had abandoned the effort in 1840, a single Secretaiy of State sat upon the enterprising historian, and, uiost unfortunately for Amencan history, extinguished him and his great national work. Still Franklin, though he has been shunted into the cool shade of the Second Century of the Republic which he heljied to found, survives, and the existence of his Papers is here formally announced and recorded. From the time Franklin returned home from France in 1786, to the day of his death, the 17 April, 1790, much of his leisure from public business was occupied in selecting and arranging his papers. It was well known that before going to France in 1776, he deposited his literary and scientific treasures, up to tliat time, with his friend Mr Galloway. Mr Oallownv joining the enemy not long after, the trunk containing the papers was brolciMi open and the contents, scattered about the room in his empty house near Philadelphia, trodden upon, injured and probably partially destroyed. Much more, however, of these Papers was saved or recovered than is generally supposed. The Twyford portion of the Autobiography to 1731 fell into the hands of honest Abel James, who wrote the Doctor at Passy in 1782 urging its continuation. The 2d part was added in 1784, and the 3d to 1767 in 1788. Some of the Craven Street IGOa Letter Books, with other and earlier papers, wei'e also recovered, though many had lieen wet and injured. Some of them with dates as far hack as 1728 are still visible witnesses of their rough treatment, nej^dcct and narrow escapes. In his will Franklin, after disposing of a good j)art of his library, adds " The residue and remainder of all my books, manuscripts and papers, I do give to my grandson, William Temple Franklin." The Papers thus became the absolute property of his grandson, without fiualitication, direction or instructions as to disposition or publication. In the course of tlie year 1790 young Franklin came to I;imd(m with the view of editing the Life and Works of his grand- father, and in some way realizing the value of the copyright by publication in Englisli and other languages. He promptly announced his intention of imme- diately priiitiu" the Auti ibiograjihy and other works in English. He had already written from Phil. 22 May, to ^I. le Veillard at Passy, announcing that his grand- father had left all his ]),ij)ers and manuscripts to him, and requesting him not to show any one that part of his Life which the Drsent him some time before, lest it might be copieit and published. As he had the original of the portion sent to JI. le Veillard, it would not be necessary for him to return it then, but requested M. le V. to put it in an enveloi»e, securely sealed and addressed to himself. This is clearly a sufficient proof that the Manuscript in M. le Veillard's hands was considered the property of Temple Franklin. In like manner it may be presumed he reclaimed and got possession of the other revised copy sent at the siime time to the doctor's friemls in London. M. de Rochefoucaiild-Liancourt declared publicly that the doctor had sent his memoirs to M. le Veillard and himself, at the same time sending a duplicate of the revision to Dr Price and Mr Benjamin Vaughan of London. These facts are stated in the Euhtgium which M. de Rocliefoucauld delivered before the ' 89 Society ' of Paris the 13 June, 1790, adding, "His Memoirs, Gentlemen, will be published as soon as we receive from America the additions he may have made to the maviuscript in our possession ; and we then intend to give a complete collection (jf his works. This assertion probably explains how the first portion of the Auto- biography got into the hands, of Ruisson, the publisher, before the arrival of Temple tVanklin's letter to M. le Veillard. Ruisson's edition of the 'Memoirs' (114) came out in the beginning of 1791. On the 21st of March following M. le Veillard published a protest against this publication and declared that he did not know how the translator Itecame possessed of the Autobiography, and declared that it was not furnished by him. This announcement was necessary to vindicate himself in his trust to Temple Franklin. Prior to this an anonymous writer in London hail issued as ' Printed and sold for the Autiior by A. Orant,' and others, Mftiwirs of the hUf Dr. Fnaildiu (112) London, 1790. The doctor's old publishei's, Henry (C9), and Newberry (77), and Johnson (87, 88), and Dilly (108), were still in the market. Temple Franklin, seeing how matters stood, naturally felt aggrieved, and eomplaineil that the publishers were snatching the market from him, the rightful owner, and he became very properly e.xceedingly close and careful of his manuscripts. Two projects were in hand as early as the beginning of 1791 for reproducing by translation Ruisson's V(dume, but in conse([uence ol' Triiiple Franklin's announcements they were both kept back nearly two yeai's, and did not appear till the summer of 1793, one in one volume published liy Parsons (121), and the other in two volumes published by Robinson (119 and 122). They are very different trans- lations, but arc both from the French of Ruisson's pirated edition, itself a trans- lation from Dr Franklin's Englisli. l)r Price and Renjamin Vaugham were the editors of Robinson's edition. Price had died in 1791, but a letter of his is appended to the preface, in which he says that he had seen the Manuscript Autobiography to 1757, though the portion given in the French edition to 1731 is all that is published. The continuation hail proliably been reclaimed from Mr Vaughan. The plan of the work was changed during its suspension. The ' Essays, humorous, moral and litemry,' were originally printed as volume I, and the Autobiography, with \)r Stul>er's continuation as vol. II, but reversed by the letterings. Robinson's edition is far superior to Parsons'. There were three issues of Robinson's editions in a short time, and it was soon after reprinted in Dublin (120), Dundee (129), Edinburch (139), New Vork (124 and 125), Salem (128) and many other places, while Parsons' eilition was, we believe, never honored by a reprint, though it conUiius some things from the French that 160h U had not appeared when Buisson's work came out. It is still worth consulting. In the Advertisement is the following confession : " The Translator would have presented the world with this volume long since, had he not been restrained by a certain degree of delicacy, mingled with veneration, towards the family of this great man ; for on being informeil l)v a respectable bookseller in St Paul's Church-yard [Johnson ? Franklin's prior publisher] that the works of Franklin were about to be published by his grandson, he with-held the present publication for several months, in expectation of that event." All these books become ' trade editions,' and thus the interest of the trade was against Temple Franklin and his proposed larger work. He not only found difficulty in procuring a publisher not interested in any of these rival works, but his expressed annoy- ance and disappointment were answered liy gossiping inuendos and flings on account of his delay in fulfilling his announcements and gratifying the hungrv public with an opportunity of reading the real Autobiogniphyand the Doctors other genuine and revised works. Meanwliile the trade Wiia reaping good harvests in the small and nimble editions, as abundantly appears by the list of printed Frankliniana given further on (No. 1-204). This gossip at length took shape and culminated in positive charges of dishonorable conduct on the part of Temple Franklin, as given in the preface of Johnson's trade edition in 3 volumes, 1806. Johnson had been a publisher of Franklin's works for some thirty years, including Benjamin Vaughan's4'' and 8° editions of 1779, admitted to be with the approval of the Author, thougli the Doctor derived no profit from the publications. This edition is sometimes called Longman's, but it has been ascertained that the house of Longman had nothing to do with it beyond taking a ' trade share ' in its publication. The work was fairly edited by Mr Marshall assisted by Benjamin Vaughan, who about that time removed to America. In the preface to volume one is found the following trade-protection cry in behalf of the generous public, containing in outspoken language the charges against Temple Franklin. We give it entire to show its true spirit. " The character of Dr. Franklin, as a philosopher, a politician, and a moralist, is too well known to require illastration, and his writings, from their interesting nature, and the fascinating simplicity of their style, are too highly esteemed, for any apology to be necessary for so lai-ge a collection of them, unless it should be deemed necessary by the individual to whom Dr. Franklin in his will consigned his manuscripts : and to him our apology will consist in a reference to his own extraordinary conduct. In be([ueathing his papers, it was no doubt the intention of the testator, that the world should have the chance of being benefited by their publication. It was so understood by the person in question, his grandson, who accordingly shortly after the death of his great relative, hastened to London, the best mart for litcrarj' property, employed an amanuensis for many months in copying, ransacketl our public libraries that nothing might escape, and at longtli had .so far prepared the works of Dr. Franklin for the press, that proposals wei-e made ))y him to several of our principal booksellers for the sale of them. They were to form three quarto volumes, and were to contain all the writings, published and unpublished, of Franklin, with Memoirs of his Life, brought down by himself to the year 1757, and continued to his death by the legatee. They were to be published in three different languages, and the C(nuitrie8 corresponding to those languages, France, Germany and England, on the same day. The terms asked for the copyright of the English edition were high, amounting to several thousand pounds, which occasioned a little demur ; but eventually they would no doubt nave been ob- tained. Nothing more, liowever, was heard of the proposals or the work, in this its fair market. The proprietor, it seems, had found a bidder of a different descrip- tion in some emissary of government, whose object was to withhold the manu- scripts from the world, not to benefit it by their publication ; and they thus either jiassed into other hands, or the person to whom they were bequeathed received a remuneration for suppressing them. This at least has been asserted, by a variety of persons, both in this cinmtry and America, of whom some were at the time intimate with the grandson, and not wholly unac([uainted with the machinations of the ministry ; and the silence, which has been observed for so many years respecting the publication, gives additional credibilitv to the report. What the manuscripts contained, that .should have excited the jealousy of government, we are unable, as we have never seen them, positively to affirm ; 160c but, from the conspicuous part acted by the author in the American revolution, and the wars connected with it, it is by no means difBcult to guess ; and of this we are sure, from his character, that no disposition of his ■writings could have been more contrary to his intentions or wishes. We have only to add, that in the present collection, which is probably ail that will ever be published of the works of this extraordinary man, the papers are methodically arranged," etc. Dated April 7, 1806. This farrago of suspicion, groundless charges, and boundless assumption would not have been quoted here but for its having been generally credited at the time, and quoti^d as 'good history' even down to the present day. In the Edinburgh Review of July 1806, this edition was fully noticed and the charges sifted. The reader is referred to that able article. Mr Bigelow has fortunately turned up some curious circumstances in this connection, by which it appears that in 1807 there was published in Paris The Argus or London Review, which periodical, on the 28th of March, reiterated these charges, on the respon- sibility of an article taken from the American Citizen, of New York, under date of 6 Sept. 1806, the substance of which, as given by Mr Bigelow, was " William Temple Franklin, without shame, without remorse, mean and mercenary, sold the sacred deposit, committed to his care by Dr. Franklin, to the British govern- ment. Frantlin's works are therefore lost to the world." On seeing this colimin of the Argus, Mr Temple Franklin, who was then in Paris, the same day addressed a letter to the editor of the Argus, warmly and indignantly an- swering and disproving, to the satisfaction of the editor, every one of the •falsehoods.' Three days later the Argus inserted Franklin's letter, with " We publish this letter with the greater pleasure as it contains a full and satisfactory answer to the calumnies circulated on his conduct," etc. ; but it does not appa- rently satisfy Mr Bigelow who closes his summary of the matter (page 66, ed. 1879, vol. I) with these words: "Whatever impression this letter may have upon the mind of tlie reader of to-day, it is certain that it did not shake the general conviction of William Temple's contemporaries that he had yielded to influences anything but friendly to the memorv of his grandfatlier or honorable to himself." Temple Franklin again referred to these foul aspersions on his conduct and character in the preface of his edition of the Life and Works of Franklin in 1818, but as he did not do it in the precise words, warmth and style of his Paris letter, the explanation of his delay in bringing out the work has been severely cavil'd at. The papers themselves exist in this collection, and they bear no thumb or finger marks of the British government. The condition and history of them abundantly prove the falsity of the chiu'ges both against Temple Franklin and the British government. It is not to be denied that Temple Franklin's editions of the Life and Works of Dr Franklin in 1818 did not satisfy the craving public. More was expected. Very few of Dr Franklin's political writings during the nine years of diplo- macy in Paris were published, and no one ever knew why, but many again jumped to the conclusion that they had been suppressed. Mr Bigelow again revives the discussion by bringing Jefferson himself on to the stand. He says, vol. II, page 253 : " Unhappily, there is too good reason to believe that Wm. Temple Franklin took the same liberties with this precious document that he appears to have allowed himself to take with the Aut()V)i recollection. He tells a round story and ijuotes only three or four lines, and even these from memory. He luid never seen Temiile Franklin'.-; edition, but had only heard that it did not contain his phantom. \\'e would gladly let him off on the score of bad memory, were it not for his slow- scented followers who war|i the truth by the very weight of reiteration. There can be no que-^ion about wliat the paper was. It was "An Account of the Negotiations in London for effecting a Reconciliation between Oreat Britain and the American Colonies," and \\a.-i written by Franklin on board the Packet b(mnd to Philadelphia in March, 1775. It tills about 80 pages of an ordinary printed octavo volume, eiiual in extent to more than one-tnird of the Autobio- graphy, of which it should foiiu a part. The original i)aper, in the autograph of Franklin, forms a part of the present Collection. It was fairly edited and printed by W. Temple Franklin, and now exi.sts as a voucher against all cornel's. Its importance cannot well be over-estimated. Th(! paper .si)eaks for itself, and gives an honest verdict against the treacherous meniorv of Ex-Prcsident Jefferson, Jefferson must also have been mistaken about Temple Franklin's remark when he received the paper, as well as to the doctor's wish to have him retain it as a ' confidential deposit.' The fact apjjcars to be that the Narrative was drawn up at sea, without the many original notes, letters and memoranda referred to in it. Blank si)aees were left in the foolscap paper with memoranda ' here insert it.' Temple Franklin therefore had all the original ' insertions,' while Mr Jefterson had the Paper. The narrative reads well without these voucher's, liut infinitely clearer with them. It was natural therefore that young Franklin should be anxious to rei'over the original narrative and put it safely in his pocket in order that the document might be complete. This paper with the original insertions is one of the gems of our Collection. Let us make one more c[uotation, cut damp from a morning Newsjjaper, the Daily News of the 18tli March, 1881. It is the la.st telling of the stfiry of the suppressed Papei-s, and was probaldy intended as mere literary gossip : — "There is rather a curious history attaching to the FraTiklin manuscripts which were offered to the American Congress the other day for the sum of 25,(XM) (hillars [this is an error for 35,00(1]. The manuscripts were originally left to Benjanun Franklin's gran man who did not hesitate to mutilate the autobiography of Benjamin Fnmklin would scarcely be inclined to regard 160F » > i-'i i M Li f ml i f i the remaininj,' manuscripts with any throat reverence, and it is quite possible that hi' may iiavc taken lilu-ities witii thfiii wliich ^^rcatly iletenf his autobiii<,'raphy in 1771, l>ringinn the narrative down to a little beyond hi.-i niarria^'e in 173(1. In 1784 at Pmay, and in 1788 at Phil, he continued it down to 1757. He was ur),'ed by many triends after his return home in 1785 to {,'o on and finish it to 17!Mi. I'ut he was ill, and crowded with work too much for his old aj,'e. He pronused and promised, but failed to accomplish. He how- eviU' revisiMl, altered and amended what was already written and sent coi)ies to Paris and to Lonibju, retaining thi^ ori},'inal draft, a ^'ood tleal corrected. The 'mutilations' therefore were Dr Franklin's own revisions and amendments. He was anxiou.s to improve it, and even asked his friend Benjamin Vaughanto look it over and suggest corrections, for he said, in his old age he had not con- fidence in his own judgment. Temple F'ranklin in 1790 brought the original draft to London and sijon after exchanged it for the revised coi>y, both belong- ing to himself, deposited with M. le Veillard. He uu([uestionably tlid right in printing from Franklin's own corrected copy instead of the autographic original draft. That his old friend might possess a sub.stantial memorial of Frankliji the gmndson left the original ilraft with the Veillard family. The writer .saw it in 1852 at Amiens in the possession of M. de Senarmont, a relative by marriage of M. le VeiUard, who hail been beheaded in 1794. He .spent two days with that amiable gentleman and his family, and was permitteil to collate the auto- graph draft with Temple Franklin's printe L,Maiiiltion now iiml heroaftpr Here is one of them, given as a sample, to show liow the old man of fourscore could considerately ai)ply the ' l)eui:h seal ' to an indiscreet youngster.

Tliis, with hundreds of other paper.'', were, we think, wisely withheld for Mr Colliurn's second Series of six volumes. The letter will e.xjdain itself. "Passy, July 10, 1781. " Sir, — Last night I received your fourth letter on the .same subject. You are anxious to carry the money with you, because it will reanimate the credit of America. My situation, and long acquaintance with affairs relating to the public credit, enable me, I think, 1 1 ju00 sterling's worth of goods over anil above tlii^ .£10,(>"() worth, which I had agreed should be purcliased by him on my credit; and that you had induced me to engage for tlui jiayment of your ])urchMse by showing me a paper said to contain his onler for making it, which 1 then took to be his handwriting, though I al'terwai'ds found it to be yours, and not signed bv him.

This full vindica- tion Mr Sparks endeavoured to present in his sul)sc(iuent 10 volume edition from material derived mainlv from the French Archives, but it must be con- fessed that his arguments fall somewhat short of the practical demonstration that may be drawn from Franklin's anrl Vergennes' own original unpublished manuscripts existing in the present collection. In the year 1840 the ' Franklin Papers,' which had lain more than seventeen years on the top shelf of an old tailor's shop in St James's, in loose bundles (both those that had been to the printei-s and those reserved for the second in- stalment) were rescued by a gentleman who had known Temple Franklin a quarter of a century before, and had been a fellow lodger with him over the same tailor's shop. This gentleman, an officer under government, kept these manuscripts for ten or eleven years, fully appreciating his charge, but never tiuding sufficient leisure from his public duties to look them through. From time to time in his vacations he offered them in bulk to the British Museum, to Lord Palmenton, and to the successive American ministers in London, from 1R40 to 1851. He knew nothing of the difficulties of Mr Colburn, or of the division of the j>apers into the two instalments of printed and not printed, but supposed and said that they hail all probably been printed and published. For this reason the collection, though repeatetlly offered, was as repeatedly declined at his fixed price. In 1851 this gentleman again applied to the American minister, then Mr Abbf)tt Lawrence, who at once ai>pointed an interview. On hearing the gentle- man's propositions Mr Lawrence frniikly told him tl.'it he peiTOnally knew nothing of such nuitters, and moreover lie had no power to purchase them for the goveriiment, but offered to give him a note of introduction to iin American gentleman at Morley's who he thought would be likely to know all about the iiapei-s, an- not carrying to th« ei[ual Hi^ain That p.

The times were },'rowin;,' very serious, and it was thouf,'ht best to let Alnion publish them immediately.

The \nih, point and soiinilness i(f these public papers astonished the statesmen and con- founded the politicians, and at the same time delighted the frienils of the Colonies jiarticidarly Loiil Chatham and Lord Camden.

A Berlin, Chez Samuel Pitra, 1771 In 1768 De Pauw, a young Dutch priest at the ape of 28 published his Itecherches Philosnphique siir les Americains, vol, I, vol. II, following it the next year. He was a fresh-water traveller, having never seen anything whereof he wrote, but drew on his prejudices and imagination for his facts to prove that the Ameri- cans were a miserable set of deteriorations, and that America was Europe made worse. In 17()9 Dom. Pernotty replied in his Dis'-rtation with considerable ability and acidity, but he also was nn Abb6 who had : ever seen America and wrote with great indiscretion and little knowledge. Thw brought forth from i 4* 180 h t De Pauw in 1770 his Defence of his first two volumes, which added no new facts, but sopped the whole controversy in bitterness and absurdity. In 1771 Pernetty published his £xarr, i in two volumes as a rejoinder. By this time he had studied the subject pretty well, and successfully refuted many of De Pauw's siatementa, but the difficulty was that he had had no practical experience in the mutter and reasoned only from what he could see from the top of a pile of books. His vision was limited and his experience nothing. Meanwhile the witty anonymous author of this little work, seeing the absurd wooden sword contest of these two PP in historical darkness, having himself been in America and lived among the Savages during part of the seven years' war, put his plain common sense notions in type in these fifteen chapters, casting a pleasant veil of obscurity over the two priestly champions. This book fills 80 pp. counting the title and preface. In some copies there is inserted, as in this (jne, a leaf after the title called Arerimemcnt an Lecteiir, to show that he takes no notice of Pernetty "s last work because his and that work were in the press at the same time. He could, he says, have made a book on the subject but did not think it worth the trouble. 1284 Ameukjan (Tlie) and British Chronicle of War and PoHticsj being an accurate and comprehensive Register of the most memorable occurrences in the last ten years of His Majesty's Reign ; in which will be found above Eighteen Hundred interesting Events, during the late War between Great Britain and America, France, Spain, and Holland ; from May 10, 1773, to July 16, 1783, in Chronological Order, 120 pp. setced,fine ropy, scarce %vo.

The two fitted into a mahogany case lined with green baize and polished outside, with brass handles, lock, &c. The globes earlier than these are excessively scarce, such as the Behaira Globe of 14U2, at Nurnburg, the Leon Globe, the Lenox Globe, that of Naunce, that of Buckingham Smith of 1542, in the New York Historical Society, the Mollineux Globe iu the Middle Temple. But this pnir of Globes by Blaeu is especially valuable from its giving the scientific geography in the terrestrial, as well as the Astronomy of the celestial. He had no difficulty in the northern hemisphere of the latter, because he had at hand the tables of Stars by Tycho Brahe, but for the southern hemisphere he was fortunate enough to secure the advantages of Frederick Houtman s as- tronomical observations and experiences. He accompanier' his brother Cornelis Houtman in his first voyage of the Dutch to the East in i j35, and having been taken prisoner, remained there two or three years.

Venetia, Francesco de' Franceschi Sanese, 1571 This is the Book and the editicm that Washington Irving more than a half century ago, in his Life of Columbus, named The Coenkb Stonk OP Amebican History. So it has passed, and been generally aclinowledged in all countries, until recently. About ten years ago a Society of Andalusian bibliographers was formed at Seville. Their first publication, which has deservedly given the " Biblio- filos Andahices" a character for iconoclasm, was a fierce Hisp.ano-French attack on the authenticity of this Life of Columbus by his second son Ferdinand. The Paper was ^vritten by Henri Harrisse of Paris in French, and was translated by Senor , one of the Seville Bibliofllos, adapted and published by the Society. The Book is boldly pronounced a Forgery and a fraud on Ferdinand Columbus. Some 15 reasons are given in proof of these charges, all of which after abundant research and study have been pronounced frivolous, false and groundless. The little book still stands the " Corner Stone." To brand it as spurious, would undermine most modem history, for many important facts and conclusions, respecting the great Age of Discovery are traceable to this book alone. The author accompanied his father in his Fourth and long Voyage, and subsequently became one of the most accomplished scholars and perhaps the most profound bibliographer in Europe. This life of Columbus, translated and properly edited, should be in every village and common school library in Europe and America. 1380 Columbus (Christopher) Primera Epistola del Almirante don Cristdbal Colon dando cuenta de su gran descubrimiento k D.

Firenze: Guiseppe Allegrini, 1769 Verazzano the first explorer of the North American Coast from Florida to Nova Scotia, has unaccountably been stricken from the late great Centennial edition of the History of the United States, and his name erased even from the index. As if this was not enough his name has of late been loaded with conjecture and suspicion. Geographical notions have been attributed to him of which he is blameless. Let his shade be patient and History will restore him to hia true position as one of the great explorers of the North American Atlantic coast. 1608 Vespucci.
