HIS is by far the largest and most important collection of material relating to the late Robert Louis Stevenson that has ever come on the market, either in England or the United States. It is consigned for unrestricted public sale by the present owner, Mrs. Isobel Strong, of Santa Barbara, Calif., who inherited it from her mother, Mrs. R. L. Stevenson, upon the death of the latter in February last. The entire Collection was Stevenson’s personal property and was in his home in Samoa at the time of his death, December 3, 1894. The Collection consists of Books, Autograph Letters, Manu- scripts, Objects of Art, and Curios, and has been divided into two parts. Part II will be sold later in the season. BOOKS: There are about 500 books in the Stevenson Lib- rary. Some were inherited from the novelist’s father, Thomas Stevenson, and others from his grandfather, Robert Stevenson, both of whom were distinguished engineers and lighthouse builders in Great Britain; some of them were presented to Stevenson by the authors and bear their inscriptions; others were purchased by Stevenson to read or study, and most of the books on Scotch history and government were sent to him at his request when he thought of writing a history of Scot- land or was actually writing ‘‘Kidnapped,’’ ‘‘David Bal- four,’’ and ‘“‘ Weir of Hermiston.’’ Many of the books contain notes, corrections, and markings in Stevenson’s hand and have associations that will endear them to Stevenson collectors. Those that do not have his card, book label, or signature, con- tain a signed statement by Mrs. Strong that they were form- erly owned by him and were in his library at Vailima. The bindings of the books were lightly varnished to protect them from the dampness. AUTOGRAPH LETTERS: The Collection contains 300 auto- eraph letters, written throughout Stevenson’s life, beginning when he could do little more than print his name. These are of the most intimate character and many of them, particularly those written in boyhood, contain drawings which will make them charming additions to Stevenson collections. Attention is called to the fine letters by Meredith; they abound in liter- ary criticism and frank recognition of Stevenson’s genius. MANUSCRIPTS: There are so many manuscripts in this Col- lection, finished and unfinished, published, partly published, and wholly unpublished, that more than a brief summary is impossible and the reader must turn to the Catalogue itself. We cannot avoid a brief reference to a few of them: There are the first three numbers of the “‘Sunbeam Magazine’’ with several colored drawings by Stevenson in 1866; origi- nal manuscript of an unpublished essay on ‘‘The Ethics of Crime’’; original manuscripts of ‘‘The Art of Literature’’; thirty-seven pages of an unfinished novel, ‘‘Henry Shovel’’; the manuscript of an unpublished story, ‘‘The Plantation”’ ; and manuscripts of ‘‘A Malaga in Tutuila,’’ ‘‘St. Ives,’’ ‘‘Isle of Voices,’’ ‘‘Fables,’’ ‘‘Lay Morals,’’ first draft of ‘‘ Travels with a Donkey,’’ and ‘‘An April Day, or, Autolycus in Ser- vice,’’ an unpublished farce of very great importance. There are fifty note books, containing in manuscript essays, verses, autobiography, and drawings; one of them contains 106 pages of descriptive writing which afterwards developed into “‘ An Inland Voyage,’’ and another the original manuscript diary from which the ‘‘Silverado Squatters’’ was written. Steven- son was an amateur in music and in the Collection are nearly a hundred sheets of music in his autograph. There are variations in Stevenson’s handwriting, due to various causes; he was often ill and weak, he wrote much when propped up in bed, when on shipboard and on railroad jour- neys, he had ‘‘writer’s cramp’’ at times, and occasionally wrote with his left hand. Those who examine the manuscripts and notice that his handwriting is irregular will understand the reasons. There are variations in the signature also. At birth, the boy was named Robert Lewis Balfour Stevenson, after his two grandfathers, to whose names that of his mother’s family was added. In early letters he signed his name R. Stevenson; then for a few years R. L. B. Stevenson. About 1868 the Scotch form Lewis was changed to the French form Louis, without changing the pronunciation, and in 1873 he wrote: ‘‘After several years of feeble and ineffectual en- deavor with regard to my third imitial (a thing I loathe), [ have been led to put myself out of reach of such accident in the future by taking my first two names in full.’? Among the letters the name will be found written in various ways. OBJECTS OF ART: The oil portrait of Stevenson by John S. Sargent will attract wide attention, as it 1s entirely new to the publ and is a remarkable production. The beautiful original plaster group by Rodin, ‘‘Le Printemps,’’—also exhibited now for the first time and also bearing a presentation inscrip- tion from the artist to the author—is of equal interest. The large medallion portrait by Saint Gaudens, cast in bronze and framed in oak, hung in the Stevenson library, and was esteemed as one of the best of the Stevenson portraits. The original charcoal drawing of Stevenson at the age of 26, made by the lady who subsequently became his wife, and the origi- nal death mask of Keats presented by the son of the poet Shelley are here, as well as many prints and paintings. CURIOS: Hundreds of curios collected by Stevenson during” his voyages in the South Seas, including weapons, money, fans, cloth, mats, headdresses, wooden bowls, the excessively rare Sea Charts made of sticks, and the native armor presented by Tembinok’ will prove exceedingly interesting to collectors and museums. Many of these articles are described in Stevenson’s books.

Throughout the descriptions of the autograph letters by Robert Louis Stevenson in this catalogue they are designated as “pub- lished” or “unpublished.” These words should be understood to have the limited meaning that the letters appear’or do not appear in the collection of Letters edited by Sidney Colvin. CHILDHOOD LETTERS. A series of 22 letters and sketches which splendidly illustrate Stevenson’s physical and intellectual develop- ment from his sixth to his fifteenth year. They begin with his baby scrawl at two and his crudely printed signature at six. Then follow several written during the one term in which he attended boarding school; a few while he and his mother were in the South for their health; and finally those written during his student days at Torquay. They an- nounce his first attempts at prose, drama, dialogue, and verse; and are illustrated with many original pen-and-ink drawings. All these except one are unpublished. 14. BABY LETTER written by Robert Louis Stevenson when he was two years old. It consists of a number of meaningless scrawls, with the signature ‘‘Smoutie”’’ (his nickname), this last undoubtedly written with the assist- ance of his'mother. A pressed flower is enclosed. In an envelope (stamp torn off), addressed to his father, in his mother’s handwriting. 15. MRS. STEVENSON’S record of her son’s conversa- tion as a child of two, dated Dee. 30, 1852, with the heading ** Remarks for about 4+ of an hour by Mr. Smoutie.’’ 3 pp. 12mo. 16.

A. L. S., 3 pp. 12mo, Friday [Spring Grove, Oct., 1863], to his father. * Asking his father to keep a diary of the doings of his dog Coolins, and sending some specimens of his Latin exercises. A significant sentence occurs in this letter, but the last two lines have been crossed and nearly blotted out, and it stops abruptly in the middle: ‘I have done something! I have made a grand step! I have appeared before the eyes of the public as an author but.” This probably refers to ‘‘ The School- boys’ Magazine,” the first of the numerous magazines started by Stevenson. Pen and ink sketch of ‘‘The Walk” on the fourth page. 22. A. L. S., 2 pp. 12mo, October, 1863, to his mother, written while at the Burlington Lodge Academy at Spring * Grove.

As to 20 STEVENSON AUTOGRAPH LETTERS—Continued. Mataafa and Laupepa, it is my fear that neither can be king re baa end without the countenance and friendship of the other,” etc. To understand this letter it is necessary to read the last chapter of Stevenson’s ‘‘A Footnote to History. 146. A.

In “A Footnote to History ” is told the effort Stevenson made to maintain peace. 147. A. N. S., 1 page 4to, Vailima, Nov. 18, 1892.

Unpublished. * Relations were quite strained at this time between Steven- son and Baron von Pilsach on account of the stand taken by the former in Samoan politics. In order, therefore, to bring to the Baron’s notice the contents of his book ‘‘A Footnote to History,” Stevenson had sent the Baron’s name, along with l> WW many others, to the publishers, who were to send a copy to him direct. The publishers accordingly forwarded the copy with the usual slip ‘‘Compliments of the Author” inserted. The Baron upon receiving this slip in a book which criticised the Government, of which he was one of the heads, naturally grew very indignant, and evidently wrote to Stevenson saying as much. The above versions of Stevenson’s reply show how deeply he regretted the blunder which his agents unconsciously made for him, and how he tried to dispel the impression, as he calls it, of wanton offence. 149. A. L.8., 2 pp. folio. Not dated, and with envelope.

On the reverse of the title is an early specimen of Stevenson’s signature: ‘‘Robert L. B. Stevenson, 17 Heriot Row,’’ to which place the family had removed in this same year, 1857. The colored illustrations are specimens of his work, or rather play, of which he was very fond, during the long periods of delicate health in his youth. As he himself says: ‘‘ Many winters I never crossed the threshold; but used to lie on my face on the nursery floor, chalking or painting in water-colours the pictures in the illustrated newspapers.’’ In two or three places there are evidences of his use of the book. In one instance in particular, in reference to the surrender of Charles I by the Scots, the text reads: ‘‘ You will hardly believe, however, that those mean Scots actually sold the king to the English parliament: but they did so.’’ These two lines he has obliterated with pencil, and in some places with such pressure as to tear the fibre of the paper.

GORDON (GENERAL CHARLES G., commonly called Chinese Gordon). Message written in Khartoum, on both sides of a piece of cigarette paper.

It is written in Arabic on a very small piece of paper, which the messenger could swallow easily in an emergency. It was given to Stevenson by Gordon Hake, a relative of General Gordon, who knew of Stevenson’s admiration for the great soldier, and it hung in a prominent place at Skerryvore and later at Vailima, where it was shown to visitors.

Under the heading are written sub-titles: ‘‘Chapter I. Le- gitimate Forms: Narrative Literature. II. Dramatic Lit- erature. III. Philosophic Literature.’’ A\ fourth, on Lyrical Literature, was intended. UNPUBLISHED NOTES ON THE COVENANTERS. 310. NOTES on the Covenanters. Manuscript Note-Book, in the autograph of Stevenson, containing his Early Notes on the Covenanters, jotted down with the intention of pub- lishing a work on the History of Scotland. 14 pp.; also un- published Manuscript Notes by Stevenson relating to the ““Cavalier.’’ 6 pp. one vol. 4to. (1873-81 ) * These notes on the Covenanters were, in all probability, — made by Stevenson in 1873. They contain his memorandums, jotted down in the course of his early reading of Covenanting Books, giving passages and extracts from the same, with remarks of his own. Stevenson’s first novel on the above subject was attempted before he was fifteen years old, and in later life he devoted much time to the subject, all, however, without any material results. In his youth he speaks of it: ‘‘T have great hope of my Covenanters,’’? and in hig later life refers to it as ‘‘returning to my wallowing in the mire.’’ Regarding the above notes on ‘‘Cavalier,’’ Stevenson, in a letter to Edmund Gosse in 1881, referring. to his ‘‘ Cavalier de Sonne,’’ says: ‘‘I have splendid materials for Cavalier tul he comes to my own country; and there though he con- tinues to advance in service, he becomes entirely invisible to me”? 311. MANUSCRIPT NOTE-BOOK by Stevenson, contain- ing Autobiographical Notes, Poems, Latin and Greek Exer- cises, List of Contents of a Novel, Draft of a Letter to his Mother, ete.; also ‘‘The Last Days of a King,’’ a novel by Mority Hartman, the latter, apparently in the handwriting 50 STEVENSON MANUSCRIPTS—Continued. of his Uncle Robert. 115 pp. of manuscript in one vol. small Ato, half roan. “An interesting literary item of Stevenson’s earlier days. The biographical Notes are in the form of a Diary, com- mencing Noy. 19, and ending Nov. 30, 1869; they include among others the following interesting remarks: SCH as strange that though I do really make these notes for my own guidance and often use... yet I can never divest myself of the notion of a face at my elbow. ... TI find I cannot even read a book without wondering how I shall easiest coin it out into some possibility of self-aggrandizement.’’? In fre- viewing these notes at a later date (1871), Stevenson added some characteristic notes regarding the same, one reading, “These notes contain more damned idiocy and self-conceit than I ever saw compressed into the same space.’’ The Poems cover nearly 75 pages of the above note- book, and include a set of verses headed ‘‘Caulstone slap’’; a poem to ‘‘My dear Miss Deas,’’ in which he says, ‘‘And now I’m studying law and you’re a bride’’; a poem on a ‘‘ Portrait’’; set of verses headed ‘‘ Middle Ages,’’ in which he refers to Edinburgh and Walter Scott. The draft of his letter to his mother refers to his notes: “*T, as I told you, treasured mine up in my heart for my sketch book at home,’’ referring in all probability to some of the notes in the present volume. The fly-leaf contains the autograph signatures of his father ‘‘ Thomas Stevenson, 1848,’’ and of his uncle ‘‘fobert Stevenson, 1867.’’ 312. ORIGINAL MS. of ‘‘Sketches,’’ posthumously pub- lished with ‘‘Lay Morals and other Papers.’’ The Sketches are composed of five subjects, ‘‘The Satyrist,’’? ‘‘Nuits Blanches,’’ ‘‘The Wreath of Immortelles,’’ ‘‘Nurses,’’? and “A Character.’’ Entirely in Stevenson’s autograph, written in 1870 or ’71. 22 pp. folio. *There are no material differences between the published version and the MS.; but in the case of ‘‘The Wreath of Im- mortelles,’’ there are two drafts of the first three paragraphs, the first having been crossed out and rewritten. A VERY IM- PORTANT ITEM. 313. ORIGINAL MS. of ‘“‘Reminiscences of Colinton Manse.’’ Written about 1872. 26 pp. folio, including a re- vised version of several of the earlier paragraphs. * Portions of this are quoted in ‘‘The Life of Stevenson’’ by Graham Balfour; but it does not appear in the complete works, although it is undoubtedly, as Balfour says, ‘‘the quarry from which was drawn most of the material for ‘The Manse’ in ‘Memories and Portraits.’ ’’ 314. ORIGINAL MS. “‘Notes on Childhood.’’ Entirely in Stevenson’s autograph. Written and dated at ‘‘Swanston, Sunday, 18th May, 1873.’’ 11 pp. folio. * Unpublished, except for certain portions quoted in ‘‘ The Life’’ by Balfour. This and the MSS. of ‘‘Rosa Quo Locorum,’’ ‘‘Reminiscences of Colinton Manse,’’ and ‘‘ Karly Memories’’ form an almost complete autobiographical ac- count of Stevenson’s childhood from his birth up to his school-days. 51 STEVENSON MANUSCRIPTS—Continued. MANUSCRIPT NOTE BOOK OF “‘AN INLAND VOYAGEH.”’ 315. NOTE BOOK containing 106 pages of descriptive writing which afterward developed into ‘‘The Inland Voy- age.’’ In a quarto blank book, limp cloth covers. *A delightful memorandum of the adventures of Arethusa and Cigarette. This is the true account of their voyage, and differs entirely from the book. In places there are whole sentences which have not been changed, but these are few, and for the most part it reads like another work. Stevenson received 20 pounds for the book, and was happy to get it. On one page he has written three rhymes in celebration of the event, one of which reads: **T had the fun of the voyage I had the sport of the boats, Who could have hoped in addition The pleasure of fing’ring the notes??? In addition to the Inland Voyage notes are a tentative list of chapters for ‘‘Edinburgh Notes’’; sketches of- scenery; drafts of poems; a list of other writings, with the sum re- ceived for each; suggestions for ‘‘New Arabian Nights,’? with titles of the stories to be published in that work; and other interesting material. FIRST DRAFT OF “TRAVELS WITH A DONKEY.”’’ 316. NOTE BOOK containing 83 pages in the handwriting of Stevenson, being, for the most part, material for his book “Travels with a Donkey.’’ Quarto, limp boards, leather back. *From this. note book Stevenson elaborated his ‘‘ Travels with a Donkey.’’ Small portions have been taken verbatim for the printed work, but the manuscript makes quite different reading as a whole. It is complete in so far as it is a record of the whole journey, but it is naturally much shorter than the book. At the back are three finished poems, one of which, ““The Gauger’s Flute,’’ is published in ‘‘Underwoods.’’ under the title of ‘‘A Song of the Road: The Gauger Walked. ’? The other two appear to be unpublished. ‘Their titles are: ‘*John Cavalier’? and ‘‘Praise and Prayer.’? 317. AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT with the title: ‘‘Pro- logue: At Monte Carlo.’’ Written by Stevenson on 9 sheets of folio size, containing 10 pages in his handwriting. *This appears to be the prologue or introduction to a proposed long story. The principal character introduced is John Masters, and this part describes his doings at Monte Carlo. Probably written before 1880. 318. ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT VERSES. 73 lines, in pencil. 4 pp. folio.

MANUSCRIPT of part of a proposed story with the title: ‘‘ Matthew Daventry.’? Written on 8 pages of folio size.

The heading to Chapter I reads: ‘‘ His Voyage with Captain Scott.” MANUSCRIPT FRAGMENT OF ‘‘DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE.” 321. PART of ‘‘ Henry Jekyli’s full statement of the Case,’’ from Stevenson’s tale ‘‘ Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”’ 1 p. 4to. Entirely in Stevenson’s handwriting. *The page begins: ‘‘I have observed that when I wore the semblance of Edward Hyde, none could come near to me at jirst without a visible misgiving of the flesh.” Differs from the printed text, and has two long passages which have not been printed. ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF “‘THE YOUNG CHEV ALIER.”’ 322. AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT of ‘‘The Young Chevalier.”’ Introductory Episode of the Wine Seller’s Wife, with two pages of proposed chapter headings and notes. Together 18 pages, folio. * Published in the posthumous collection ‘‘ Lay Morals and Other Papers,” with an Editorial Note by Sidney Colvin, in which he states that the above fragment was written at the suggestion of Andrew Lang, and that Alan Breck and the Master of Ballantrae were to appear on the scene again. Colvin tells at some length all that Lang and he knew of the author’s plans for the story. There are some differences between the manuscript and the printed text. 323. ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT of ‘‘The Woodman,”’’ written on 3 sheets of folio size, containing about 100 lines of verse. * This is evidently an early draft of the poem; the first part. agrees with the published text, but further on it halts. There are numerous corrections, rhymes on the margins, and other evidences of trouble; finally it breaks down altogether and is left unfinished. The complete poem appears in ‘‘ Under- woods.” 324. ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT of “ Bright is the Ring of Words,’’ a poem of 24 lines; also another poem on the reverse, ‘‘ Over the Land is April.” Together 42 lines, on both sides of a folio sheet. * One of the verses of the first-mentioned poem is crossed through, and this does not appear in ‘‘ Underwoods,” where the remainder of the poem is published. The whole of the other poem is probably unpublished. 53 i) / STEVENSON MANUSCRIPTS—Continued. 325.

It is evident that these were written shortly after his very serious sickness in 1884, at which time he was forbidden to talk. 326. ORIGINAL PENCIL NOTE and note of a quota- tion. 2 sheets 4to. , *Quotation from Hazlitt, which Stevenson addresses to “Idlers,” reads: ‘‘ Nobody knew better than Wilson that repose is necessary to great efforts, and that he who is never idle, labours in vain!” 327.

Stevenson. 67 pp. of manuscript, in ink and pencil. Small 4to, sewed. [ California, 1880] * IMPORTANT MANUSCRIPT RECORD of Stevenson's honeymoon days. Immediately after marriage Stevenson, his wife and his oS Xa) Q- stepson went to the country, fifty miles north of San Francisco, where they took possession of a deserted mining camp, and for two months lived an isolated and independent life. How the days were spent in exploring the abandoned mine, the petrified forest and other places of interest, as well ag the humorous as- pect of his life, is recorded by Stevenson in the above Diary in a masterly manner, and forms the groundwork of his published book, ‘‘The Silverado Squatters, ” 332.

[Davos, 1880-1] *All the material included in this note-book is in verse and unpublished, illustrated by a few pencil drawings. In these stanzas he denounces certain dishonest tradesmen of Davos, and writes a sequence of sonnets about one Peter Barash, a publican of Edinburgh, who had been a subject of his early Jokes. Of this winter at Davos he writes: ““ My wife and Tin our romantic cot, The world forgetting, by the world forgot, High as the Gods upon Olympus dwell, Pleased with what things we have; and pleased as well To wait in hope for those which we have not.” 336. FRAGMENT of an Autobiography. Portions of the last two pages of ‘‘ Book II,’’ and the whole of ‘Book I1I—From Jest to Earnest.’? Quoted largely in ‘‘ The Life”? by Balfour. Written in San Francisco early in 1880. 13 pp. 4to. In the handwriting of R. L. Stevenson. * Contains much important matter which does not appear in print. There is a description of the happy period of his life between the years 1867 to ’78, and the companionship of his cousin Bob. A brief outline on the reverse of one of the pages gives an idea in what direction the sketch might have been continued; mentions such themes as ‘‘ Whitman: humanity: love of mankind: Decline of religion; I Take to the New Testa- ment: Spencer,” etc. 337. MANUSCRIPT NOTES and Memoranda, by Steven- son, including the first scenein ‘‘A Lodging for the Night’’; being an early draft, containing additional matter, and variations from the printed text.

O send the ode, And let the world go hang.” 50 Liv VW - Kia yo /) 97 STEVENSON MANUSCRIPTS—Continued. MORAL TALES. 339. ORIGINAL DRAFT of the Manuscript for ‘‘ Moral Tales,”’ containing ‘‘ Robin and Ben, or The Pirate and the Apotheeary,’’ and ‘‘The Builder’s Doom.” 12 pp. small folio. Published. * Contains a marginal note referring to a line in one verse, in which he says: ‘‘I am informed that there is here some error; but I have a kindness for the line, and I would rather do in- justice to Amphion than to my own poetical talents.” Several verses appear in different form from the published version, one reading: “ Ben, meanwhile like a tin reflector, Attended on the worthy rector; And was at length by that good fairy, Apprenticed to the Apothecary. Now, fired with an esurient flame, A rising chemist Ben became; Watered his drugs and otled his hair And donned the consultative air; And soon, succeeding to his master, Became the lord of pill and plaster.” 340. ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT NOTE BOOK. Con- tains notes on Language, Faith, Science, Sociology, Law, Goethe, Milton, Whitman and many miscellaneous sub- jects, some in pencil, with index. 73 pp. small 4to, boards. * A very interesting collection of impressions and opinions on all sorts of subjects, probably written before 1880. 341. MANUSCRIPT NOTES, severai in French. 11 pieces of various sizes, enclosed in the large envelope in which he kept them; and with his inscription on the out- side. * Evidently made by Stevenson with the intention of writing an essay on the ills of war. On the envelope is a note in his handwriting: ‘‘War for the people. See also; English in France; Paris.” 342.

In pencil. 56 HO Parks STEVENSON MANUSCRIPTS—Continued. 344. UNPUBLISHED MANUSCRIPT, written in the form of Letters, entitled ‘‘ Edifying Letters of the Ruther- ford Family.’’ Three complete Letters and portion of one other. Letter I. ‘‘ William Rutherford to Paul Somerset,” 6 pp. Letter II. ‘‘ James Rutherford to Prof. Darberey Fisher in the University of Aberdeen,” 2 pp. Letter III. ‘* William Rutherford to Charles Butler,’? 5 pp. LetterIV. (portion only) ‘‘ Wm. Rutherford to Paul Somerset,’’ 1 page. In all 15 pp. of manuscript on 8 folio sheets. * These letters are obviously autobiographical, the name Rutherford being employed by Stevenson as a pseudonym for his own, the full text, as well as the fictitious signature to each letter, being in Stevenson’s autograph. ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF ‘LAY MORALS.”’ 345. AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT of the posthumous work published under the title of ‘‘ Lay Morals.’’ Written by Stevenson on 37 sheets of foolscap size, and containing 42 pages in his handwriting. * THE COMPLETE MANUSCRIPT OF Lay MoRALs, witha second draft of Chapter IV. The text agrees with the printed book in almost all cases, but there are a number of cancelled pas- sages which have not been printed, and the last chapter, which was not completed, has considerable unpublished material. Throughout the pages are interesting changes and corrections and an occasional note for his own use, such as: ‘‘ Clear this— distinguish commandments,”’ etc, 346. NOTE BOOK containing: ‘‘ An Enquiry into the Causes and Effects of Emigration from the Highlands and Western Islands of Scotland with observations on the means to be employed for preventing it, by Alexander Irvin, Edinburgh, 1802.”’ This was probably copied by Stevenson’s mother. It occupies 13 pp., with many notes in the autograph of Stevenson. 347. MANUSCRIPT NOTES for his proposed Life of the Duke of Wellington. A total of 74 slips of paper of vari- ous sizes, containing material collected by him. With one exception they are in Stevenson’s handwriting, and are still enclosed in the 9 large envelopes he had used to divide the periods of the ‘‘ Life”; with his inscriptions on the outside. *In 1884 Stevenson was commissioned to write a Life of Wellington for the series of ‘‘ English Worthies” edited by Andrew Lang. It was advertised for a time as in preparation, and, as we can judge from these notes and the copies of the Dispatches and General Orders from his library, he had given considerable time and pains to its planning. In 1885 he writes to Sidney Colvin: ‘‘I am on my feet again, and getting on my boots to do the Iron Duke. Conceive my glee. ... Now, look here, could you get me a loan of the Despatches, or is that a dream,” etc., etc. There is nothing in Stevenson’s Life or in the Letters to show why he did not complete and publish this work, 57 Jo- fr- THIRD SESSION.

MANUSCRIPT of an Unpublished Story with the title ‘The Plantation’’ written on 15 sheets of foolscap size. The first 12 pages are in the handwriting of an amanuensis and five pages have material in Stevenson’s hand. 306. * It is evident from this manuscript that Stevenson intended to write a long story with the above title. This seems to have been the first sketch of the plot, and consists of a summary of the aifferent chapters: ‘The Labour Ship, Dan Scarlett, Lhe Three Miss Scarletts, The Labour Wench, An Adventure in the Bush,’’ etc. It was to have been a tale of the South Seas—the scene being laid in the town of Falealii, and the principal characters were Dan Scarlett and_ his daughters, Walter Oates, Harry Rainsforth, etc. Some of the writing by Stevenson is on the back of the sheets and has no bearing on the story, being rhymes and jottings. In the preface to the Biographical Edition of St. Ives, Mrs. Stevenson writes that at times her husband would weary of “*St. Ives’? and “‘Weir of Hermiston,’’ and that he had in his mind another story: ‘‘The new book was to be called Sophia Scarlett, with all the principal characters women. The most important male character... would die im an early chapter.’? ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LYRIC, ‘‘Student Song.’’ 4 verses of 8 lines each. 1 p. folio.

We only ask some more of it, some more of tt, some more of it, We only ask some more of it The less we’re like to get.’’ Another draft of the above, containing 26 lines, in pencil. 1 p. folio. 308. ORIGINAL ROUGH DRAFT of ‘“Heathereat,’’ 24 pp.; also 4 portions of other rough drafts, 43 pp. Together 67 pp., folio. * The above work was never completed by Stevenson. The present manuscript consists of chapters 1, 2, 3, and a portion of chapter 4, containing about 10 pp. of dialogue not in the published version, the latter having but 3 chapters, in con- densed form. Stevenson had ‘‘Heathercat’’ in view about the time 8. R. Crockett was engaged on ‘‘The Men of the Moss-Hags, ’? dealing with the same subject. He sent a humorous sketch to Crockett, of a trespassing board and gallows, with R. L. 8. in the act of hanging S. R. C., and on the boards the words: ““Notice—The Cameronians are the proppaty of me, k. L. S— trespassers and kaiders will be hung.’’ In a letter written at the same time: ‘‘I have made many notes for Heather- cat, but do not get much forrader. For one thing, I am not inside these people yet. Wait three years and I’ll race you.?? In another letter, shortly before his death, he mentions having laid the story on the shelf. 59 J40- STEVENSON MANUSCRIPTS—Continued. 359.
