Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale in- juriously. z. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the purchasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale, shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such pur- chaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale, shall be a charge against such purchaser. 4, Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American Art Galleries, or other place of sale, as the case may be, and only on presenting the bill of purchase. Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, how- ever, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the purchaser. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while the Asso- ciation will exercise due caution in caring for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. 7. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association of the cor- rectness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing, or any imper- fection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion with- out proper foundation. SPECIAL NOTICE. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders trans- mitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above Condi- tions of Sale, which cannot in any manner be modified. The Association, however, in the event of making a purchase of a lot consisting of one or more books for a purchaser who has not, through himself or his agent, been present at the exhibition or sale, will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be returned, if the lot in any material manner differs from its catalogue description. : Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale, or any session thereof, will be furnished by the Association at a reasonable charge.

APPARENTLY THE FIRST COPY TO APPEAR IN EITHER THE AMER- ICAN OR ENGLISH AUCTION MARTS. The text of the present copy, with the exception of the minor defect noted above, is in exceptionally sound condition. Regarding this work, Sabin’s Dictionary thus states :— “A German translation by Michael Herr; it is less known and much rarer than the original. Although it has no map, it has, on the other hand, the merit of being augmented in the text. It contains a full translation of Peter Martyr’s Decades, leaf 174-229, and also his books “De Legatione Babylonica,’ 235-248, both wanting in all the different Latin editions; besides it contains all the pieces of the first Latin edition of 1532, except Munster’s “Introductio in tabulam geograph,” to which the map belongs, and would therefore, have been superfluous in this edition. The preface by Grynaeus is omitted, but a new one by the translator, Michael Herr, is added. It is curious that none of these differences have been noted by Harrisse.” See Bibliotheca Americana Vetustissima,’”’ No. 188; Rich. No. 9; Ternaux, No. 45; “Bibliotheca Gren- villiana,” p. 498. 1%.

London, 1840-1842 It is of very rare occurrence that a complete set of the Sibson plates accompanies such a fine copy of “The Clock.” This artist made but two sets of extra illustrations for Dickens’ writings, “Pickwick” and “Master Humphrey’s Clock.” The set of Sibson Htchings is unquestion- ably the best independent series of illustrations to Dickens ever pub- lished, and brilliant original impressions, such as those in the pres- ent copy, are rightfully regarded as equal to the best efforts of Seymour, ‘Phiz,’ and Cruikshank in the same direction. 358.

DICKENS (CHARLES), A REMARKABLE COLLECTION OF EXTRA-ILLUSTRA- TIONS TO THE WORKS OF CHARLES DICKENS, COMPRISING SIX HUN- DRED AND FORTY-NINE ORIGINAL CHARACTER STUDIES, illustrating the Writings of Dickens, DRAWN IN WATER-COLORS, BY “KyD,” (CLAYTON CLARK). Each drawing executed on a large quarto sheet of cartridge paper, with a colored and illustrated general title-page, and colored title-pages and lists of the characters to each set of drawings, all executed by “Kyd.’ The whole preserved in six specially made book-shaped cloth cases, each with an inner pro- tecting cover, and lettered. (London, 1885-1889) THE MOST IMPORTANT SERIES OF DRAWINGS BY ‘“‘KybD” TO ILLUSTRATE THE WRITINGS OF DICKENS THAT HAS BEEN OFFERED FOR SALE. A born lover of Dickens, “Kyd” has so steeped himself in his writings, and so thor- oughly grasped the true Dickensian spirit that he seems to represent absolutely the characters as Dickens had them in his mind, giving form and feature to practically every one in the whole series of Dick- ens’ writings, and proving “Kyd” to be almost as prolific and versatile as Dickens himself. This unique collection would be admirably adapted to extra-illustrat- ing any of the good library editions of Dickens as the water-colors themselves are of a suitable size for an octave volume, and the book in which each character appears is inscribed on the drawing. ; Laid in is a one page 4to. autograph letter of the artist, regarding the drawings, in which he states that the foregoing collection “....%s Second Session, Wednesday Evening, April 5th [No. 863—Continued | perhaps the most complete and most comprehensive series of my Dickens Studies at present existing” etc. Comprises the following series; Sketches by Boz.

Lewes” being correspondence addressed to Mr. Deutsch, either from Germany, where she was in August, 1867, or from the Priory, North Bank, Regents Park, from August 13, 1867, to, and including, September 14, 1870. Three of the letters are not dated, but were probably written between these periods. The letters lightly hinged on paper, within pen-and-ink borders, each leaf guarded, and the whole bound in a small 4to. volume of red morocco, con- tents lettered on the side and back. In a cloth case. THIS HIGHLY IMPORTANT SERIES OF AUTOGRAPH LETTERS, by the author of “Adam Bede” was written to Mr. Deutsch, about whom she wrote in her journal on November 22, 1867. “. . . The author of the glorious article on the Talmud is “that bright little man,” Mr. Deutsch—a very dear, delightful creature.” They comprise 24 pages, and are of inti- mate personal interest. Some extracts from them follow: “Here we are among our beloved pine forests, renewing past joys— & we like this so well that we do not think of journeying onward till the 20th. Probably on the 22d we shall be at Dresden, so will you please address your (promised) precious packet to me at the Poste Restante there?” * * 5 o * “May it be long before you go thither in the mysterious boat & make it heavy with the invisible weight of your soul! Also pray send me any word you can about our friend Mrs. F. Lehmann. ; Mr. Lewes unites in begging you to accept our kind regards,” * * * * * * J “See how I take it on me to tell you our duty! But as a German you are bound to be reverent to rather silly old women & take them for prophetesses. I am delighted to tell you that Mr. Lewes is already a new creature as to his digestion.” * * * ys ew x “We have been thinking of you much since you parted from us yes- terday, & have made ourselves all the more indignant at the buzzing & stinging which is tormenting you. I beseech you not to battle with it. Escape from it—mentally, I mean, by working steadily without refer- ence to any temporary chit-chat, whether silly, ignorant, or curious. Of course the noise of admiration is always half of it contemptible in its quality, & as besotting as bad wine if a man lets himself take too much of it. And the spite, the head-shaking, the depreciation that comes as a consequence, are the muddiest reflux of muddy waters. Get rid of it all by a huge effort of will, & don’t run the risk of being maddened by insect stings. Let your articles be what they please—are you accountable to the world for the fuss they have made about it?’ * * * % * ‘* “It has been a painful thought to me that we should have told you we wavered & almost wished you had gone away from this Bable. It was a sort of figure in Mr. Lewes’ speech last night; he only meant to impress on you his sense of the need that you should keep yourself in calm air. You do not believe that we can help, beneath all, rejoicing that you have not gone on that frightfully uncertain journey.” * * * cs * * “I write in case I do not see you tomorrow to tell you that I have no courage to write when I am away because I never believe that any Second Session, Wednesday Evening, April 5th [No. 419—Continued | one cares for me for a fortnight together unless I have some renewed assurance of eye or voice or hand. But if you should happen to have a wish directed towards me, write to me on thin paper & address the letter to this house ‘To be forwarded ;” then I will write.” ce *# * * iy “Mr. Lewes was in sad condition when he set out again in search of health, but he is very well now & can make his mornings interesting by revising his Hist. of Philosophy without feeling himself helpless for the rest of the day. Several hours are filled for us by reading & talk about the war, & for a still longer time we think & dream of it. I suppose you have been to Breslau & have seen & heard much of German feeling, action, & alas, suffering. One can only hope that this is not the mere beginning of sorrows. Mr. Lewes is heartily sharing in the impulse that makes me write, & in anxious wishes that we may soon know of your full recovery.” ok * * * * “Thrice welcome! Keep next Sunday for us, if you can, & come to lunch at 4% past 1. We shall not be satisfied with a small allowance of talk. Somebody may have told you that we have a house-trouble—a dear lad lying ill. But that makes our evenings all the more open for conversation, & if you can’t come next Sunday & will come some evening before then, you will find affection and bring gladness.” 420.

Irvine (WASHINGTON). ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT NOTES AND THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF AN UNFINISHED AND UNPUBLISHED SKETCH ENTITLED “PoLLy HoLLMAN’s WEDDING,” WRITTEN ON BOTH SIDES OF 23 OCTAVO PAGES OF WHITE PAPER, UNSIGNED. Hinged on cardboard and enclosed in a neat cloth case, lettered. Circa 1830-1832 A WASHINGTON IRVING MANUSCRIPT OF MORE THAN USUAL INTEREST FROM A COLLECTION OF MANUSCRIPTS LEFT BY WASHINGTON IRVING TO HIS NEPHEW AND BIOGRAPHER, PIERRE M. IRVING, AND PRESENTED BY THE LATTER TO THE PRESENT OWNER, A DIRECT DESCENDANT OF THE AUTHOR. Of the 23 pages here offered, 21 pages comprise the ORIGINAL NOTES of the sketch, “Polly Holman’s Wedding,” the scene of which has been laid in the early years of the last century, an evidence of which fact being the date “1805” at the left top corner of page 1 of the Notes, made, prob- ably, during the years 1830-1832, about the period Irving made a tour of the West, including the Pawnee country, and where he quite likely found the material for the sketch here described. The paper on which the Notes are penned is gilt-edged, differing, it will be seen, from the three sheets of paper used by the author at a later period for the reconstruction of the sketch, the entire rewritten portion of which is here reproduced :— “T first became acquainted with old Holman in 1800. He then lived on the Prairies near Big Clifty, which is a branch of . . . . , which is a branch of Green River. I was riding along in the evening not knowing where I should put up for the night when I came by Holman’s farm and saw a fine buxom black-eyed girl trying to milk a cow, but pestered by the calf. I got off my horse, jumped into the cow-pen, took hold of a rope tied to the foot of the calf and drew it away. The young girl blushed and giggled and went on with her milking. By and bye I heard a loud rough voice,— ‘Hello, stranger, who are you? Polly, who have you got there?’ I answered,—‘Me.’ ‘And who the deuce are you?’ ‘I’m just a traveller, who saw the calf was bothering the young woman, and thought I’d draw it off until she had done milking . Since the presentation of this manuscript to the present owner, it has remained in a safe-deposit vault until its withdrawal therefrom for preparation for present sale. As will be gleaned from a perusal of the Notes and the unfinished rewritten sketch itself, the incidents incor- porated are of considerable humor, and had they been turned into the finished literary product as Washington Irving had commenced to turn them, the completed sketch would certainly have found a place of perma- nency among his writings in collected form. 582.

The work is dedicated to King Charles the First, the Address of the Author to the Reader ending with the following quaint couplet,— — “So many burials, Reader, in one booke Warne thee that one day, thou for death must looke.” This is followed by a Discourse of Funeral Monuments, etc., which covers pp. 1-196, then commences a description of the Ancient Funeral Monu- ments, which extends to page 871, followed by the Index. The text is interspersed with Epitaphs copied from the Monuments, or Verse ap- plicable to the subject. Folio contains a great deal of genealogical and biographical matter not found elsewhere, many of the records being taken from tomb stones which were destroyed during the Great Civil War in England. = ee ee ee ee ee ee ee ee eee eee a ee ee Le ee .< ns al es < ee =e =? ie ee weg Fifth Session, Friday Afternoon, A pril 7th EE SAAS A le OR “lala daa 1087.

A highly commendatory review of the work of Celia Thaxter’s,—“The Wreck of the Pocahontas,” and of the Poems by Lucy Larcom, and other writers whove literary contributions up to this time consisted of articles in periodicals only. “The last Atlantic Monthly has for its second article, a poem of singular power entitled ‘The Wreck of the Pocahontas.’ It is from the pen of Celia Thaxter who saw what she so well describes, when a child living on the little rock of White Island. It is a little remarkable that some of the best contributions to our periodical literature, are made by writers who have never had the good or ill fortune to publish a book, and whose names are not included in the guild of authorship. The Atlantic . has had nothing better than such poems as ‘Hilary’ & ‘Skipper Ben’ by Lucy Larcom, and the prose story of ‘The Tenth of January,’ by Eliza- beth Stuart Phelps... ” The letter transmitting the above Manuscript reads as follows,—“J hope thee will give thy readers the Poem referred to above, as, apart from its great merit it has a strong local interest. If so, perhaps it might be printed in connexion with my note above.” 1096. WitpE (Oscar). Rose-Leaf and Apple-Leaf. L’Envoi. 12mo, original printed wrappers, uncut.
