Conditions of Sale
1. 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

AN ITEM OF EXCESSIVE RARITY, AND OF INTEREST TO ALL COLLECTORS AND
LIBRARIANS. 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.

Relates to the Capture of President Lincoln’s Physician :—‘The Bearer
Col. Chisolm—Volunteer aid—is in charge of four prisoners taken in Fair-
fax County from the enemy, & a certain Dr. John Richards of Wash-
ington, who arrived here this morning on the plea of meeting here with
his son, at school in Charlotteville—but more probably for the purpose
of obtaining all the information he could, relative to our position &
forces, to communicate to his friend, Mr. Lincoln, whose family physician
I am informed he is—I would respectfully advise that he should be kept
a prisoner until after the war—for by the enclosed papers, it will be seen
that his sympathies appear to be entirely with our enemies.”

of the Potomac, Fairfax Court House, September 19, 1861. To
Brig.-Gen. I. R. Trimble, Evansport, Virginia.
Important Historical War Letter relating to the operations of the
Confederate Army :—“It is more than probable that either another naval
expedition is contemplated by the Federalists or a landing on the East-
ern shore of Virginia, but not of the importance you contemplate, for Mc-
Clellan is aware that we could neutralize his expedition by a bold move
across the Potomac & then on to Washington which would then be at
our mercy. We can afford to lose even Richmond—but they cannot
Washington & Maryland . . . But we must look out for less important
expeditions such as the destruction of the Batteries at Aquia Creek .
I have ordered Col. Hampton to effect that diversion on the Potomac
above you—but I think he ought not to awaken their suspicion by show-
ing himself too soon...”

“I send you herewith my pay account for January last, for
$437.00 . . . I hope everything is right with you all, & that you are
awaiting bravely coming events. We may have a rough road to travel
for awhile—but I think it will all come out right at last—two or three
months more will settle up the whole affair—either we must triumph or
be crushed. I still have hopes that England or France or both will yet
side with us...”

FINE COLLECTION OF First EDITIONS OF THE WRITINGS OF CHARLES DiICcK-

ferent blank sheets. London, 1842. Together, 4 vols. uniformly
bound in half green levant morocco, gilt tops or gilt edges, original
cloth covers (3) bound in. 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.

and Poems and Speeches and Bibliography. These were issued uni-
form with the edition de luxe, with the consent of Chapman and Hall,
by other publishers. Of the former, 150 copies were printed, and of the
latter, only 50 copies.
363. 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

419. Exiot (GrorGE). A SERIES OF SEVEN AUTOGRAPH LETTERS SIGNED,
“M. EH. 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.”

“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

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.”

“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.”

“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.”

Hunt’s poem, which covers three long sheets of paper, and is inlaid
with portrait and a beautiful transcript into a full levant volume, is
his most delightful piece of verse of welcome to a royal infant. It is
especially so in its reference to Queen Victoria, whom the poet calls,
Thy sweet, strong-hearted mother.
The present manuscript shows Hunt’s genius at its best.

581. 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.

FINE IMPRESSION, WITH GOOD MARGINS (the lower one uncut) of this
historical portrait. Saunders was appointed Vice-Admiral of the Blue
in 1759, and put in charge of the fleet for the St. Lawrence. Notwith-
standing the repeated attempts of the enemy by means of fireships to
prevent his approach, he succeeded in occupying such positions off Quebec
and the lower river, as to completely cut off the possibility of any supplies
reaching the garrison of the city.

rebacked, lacks portrait. London: Printed by Tho. Harper, 1631
First Epirion, with the seven leaves of Index, which Lowndes says
are often wanting. The engraved title, which is done in Cecill’s best
manner, is an extremely interesting example of the method of indicating
the contents of the book by the figures represented thereon.
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.

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.”
