ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWING SIGNED, ‘* Max, 1909.” Height, 12 4; width, 634 inches. -Mounted within a decorative wash border. Matted in a narrow black frame and glazed. SPLENDID DRAWING. An interesting caricature Onn Beerbohm’ s satirical brush, of a young damsel clad after the fashion of the day, the costume completed by an im- ‘mense hat, long dark gloves and a cane: The artist lamentingly writes of. her: - “She dwelt among the untrodden ways Bestde the springs of dove, A maid whom very few do praise, And very few do love.”’ : The above quatrain appears in pencil in Reerbohm's autograph, on the drawing. 31. BEERBOHM (Max). ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWING, SIGNED, of: “Study of a Hat.” Signed: “ Max. 1917.” With a decorative wash border. Matted in a narrow black frame and glazed. FINE AND UNUSUAL SPECIMEN. When Beerbohm’s pencil strolls into the realm of women’s hats, the results are usually most ludicrous as is evident in the above drawing. Topped upon the head of an English lass is a colorful creation, which would ' be more harmonious were there less brilliant red and green in the ornamentation.

Nicholas Nickleby and Martin Chuzzlewit are ready for you, whenever you like to give them house room, perhaps the sooner the better—as I suspect they will be taken better care of, in your keeping than in mine; with me, they will stand a chance of getting their noses rubbed off and dresses torn or dustied. ““T have done my figures this early to suit my own convenience—you, of course, can draw yours (which are ever so much better than mine—I wish I could draw in that style!) whenever you feel thus artistically inclined.” FINE ORIGINAL DRAWING BY ‘‘PHIZ”’ 70.

EXCEEDINGLY FINE LETTERS AND OF GREAT RARITY IN FULL AUTOGRAPH. The letter by King Charles I was written during the Civil War in England, while King Charles was in France, and reads in part,—‘‘ Nephew, this messenger coming out of France is in such haste to go to you that I shall only tell you that you will find I have been better than my word in my last letter, for yesterday I gave order for Tilliers and Pretties Regiments to march to you with all possible speed. . . . Iam Sending a new dispatch into Ireland wherein I not only seek to hasten the supplies in general, but like- wise in particular to encourage the Marquis of Ormonde himself to come over, because I believe without him our assistance from those parts will be very small. Yet I assure you he shall be subordinate to you. This is shortly to show you that on no occasion you are Yorgotiens:. 6 2” The letter by Queen Henrietta Maria, written in French, is accompanied by an English translation. It is written to the Marquis of Argyll, in regard to the removal of several servants of her son, King Charles II, and asks that one particular servant be restored. A translation of part of the letter reads,—‘‘ Having heard that there have been removed from my son, the King, some of his servants, amongst other one called Arden, I could not help bringing to your notice that he is a man who has always behaved with much affection and faithfulness towards his master, who is far removed from intrigue, who busies himself about nothing but serving his master, who has been con- sianily with him since his childhood, and who is well suited to be with young people, tia The portraits of King Charles I are engraved by Picart, Basan, Bernaudy, Bocquet and H. Robinson; that of Queen Henrietta Maria by H. T. Ryall. [See Reproduction of A. L. S. by King Charles] 113. CHARLES II. Arry (OsmunpD). Charles II.

A REMARKABLE SERIES yas ear n LETTERS OF “MARK I 99 121. CLEMENS (SAMUEL L.). A Collection of EticHtT AUTOGRAPH LETTERS, Signed, —S. L. Clemens” and one signed ‘“‘ Mark.” 8vo, 17pp. collectively- Dated November 14, 1889 to October 29 [1900]. Together, 8 pieces, all written to Sylvester Baxter; [ALso] A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s | Court. First Epition. Illustrated. Square 8vo, cloth. New York, 1889 SYLVESTER BAXTER’S Copy or ‘‘A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” with his autograph signature on fly-leaf. Also, pasted on the same leaf, is a printed card reading ‘‘Compliments of S. L. Clemens.’’ On end-leaves in front are pasted portraits of Mark Twain, and of his mother. THESE LETTERS, WRITTEN TO SYLVESTER BAXTER, AUTHOR AND JOURNALIST, ARE MosT INTERESTING, AND ARE IN REGARD TO CLEMENS’ Book ‘“‘A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR’S Court.” In one letter, appropos of the downfall of the Brazilian monarchy, he shows his abhorrence of monarchies by writing “‘I believe I [ Continued First Session, Tuesday Evening, February 24th Ns [ No. 121. CLEMENS—Continued | should really see the end of what is surely the grotesquest of all the swindles ever invented by man—monarchy.”’ The following is a list of the letters, and extracts,— (1) Hartford, Nov. 14/89. 2pp. ‘‘I was Howells’ guest in Boston yesterday. . I set your name down for the book—you will receive it in about 30 days fromnow. . . . The book itself will issue . . . Dec. 12, but there will be no reviews of it in the month of December except yours and Howells. . Pak (2) Hartford, Nov. 20, 1889. 6pp. Most INTERESTING, pertaining to the fall of the empire of Brazil, in which Clemens expresses his detestation of monarchies. Reads in part,—* Another throne has gone down & I swim in oceans of satisfaction. I wish I might live fifty years longer, I believe I should see the thrones of Europe selling at auction for oldiron. . . . It is enough to make a graven image laugh to see apparently rational people, away down here in this wholesome & merciless slaughter-day for shams, still mouthing empty reverence for those moss-backed frauds -& scoundrelisms, hereditary kingship & so-called ‘ Nobility.’ It is enough to make the monarchs & nobles themselves laugh—& in private they do; there can be no question about that. . . . You already have the advance sheets of my forthcoming book in your hands. If you will turn to about the five hundredth page, you will find a state paper of my Connecticut Yankee in which he announces the dissolution of King Arthur’s monarchy & proclaims the English Repub- lic. Compare it with the state paper which announces the downfall of the Brazilian mon- archy & proclaims the Republic of the United States of Brazil & stand by to defend the Yankee from plagiarism. There is really a resemblance of tdeas, nothing more. The Yankee’s proclamation was already in print a week ago. . . . Come, protect the Yank from that cheapest & easiest of all charges—plagiarism. . . .” (3) Hartford, Nov. 22, 1889. One page. “. . . Ihave asked Howells to write & tell you, if he has no objections to your notice coming out before his. If he hasn't any—let Fly! Please don’t let on that there are any slurs at the Church or Protection in the book. . etn. (4) Hartford, Nov. 26, 1889. One page. ‘‘ Pictures—a good idea. . . . If it will save you any trouble, I think we can send you cuts of such pictures as you would like to use. . x (5) Hartford, Sunday. ‘‘Jt is a pity to have to relinquish my scheme, but it would imperil my English & Canadian copyrights—& our copyright relations are much more Strained now than they have ever been. . . . Please withhold your article until December 12th. . . . Heretofore it has been my policy to publish my books secretly, but this time I grow daily more inclined to turn the book loose & let it take all the chances. . . .”’ (6) Hartford, Dec. 3, 1889. ‘‘No, I am under too heavy a weight of burdens, & must not contemplate another, large or small, near or remote, for a long tume yet. I mean to hold still a good many months, Yet, & let my tank fill up, before I do any more writing. But I vasily want to know Bellamy & you must bring him down, one of these Satur- days. . . .’’ He also mentions a play written by his eldest daughter. (7) Hartford, Dec. 19, 1889. Extends his thanks to Baxter for his write-up on the “Connecticut Yankee.’’ Reads in part,—‘‘It was an admirable notice, & I cannot thank you enough. And I am so glad you said the appreciative word for Beard’s excellent Slaves ek . ; (8) New York, Oct. 26 [1900]. “‘It was a great pleasure to me to renew the other days with you & there was a pathetic pleasure in seeing Hartford & the house again; but I realized that if we ever enter the house again to live, our hearts will break. . i THE RARE AUTOGRAPH EDITION OF CLEMENS 122, CLEMENS (SAMUEL L.).

Sanderson, 28 October 1876;’’ and his ‘‘Ex- eee pasted on the inside of front cover; also with the Charles Dexter Allen book- plate.

It shows that Cobden-Sanderson, although forced to do elaborate work on books, for a livelihood, himself preferred Jansen style. 133. COLORED PLATE Boox.

London, 1842 EARLIEST ISSUE OF THE First EDITION. Eckels corrects a misconception of cata- loguers regarding this work: ‘‘ Not one of Dickens’ works was the subject of so much adverse criticism as the book he wrote after his first return from a visit in America in 1842. He wrote a chapter which he intended for the introduction to the book, which may have softened the American attitude, had it been printed. But a week before the ‘Notes’ appeared it was decided to eliminate it. That is why all first issues carry a test which is infallible. In Vol. I the first pagination is page XVI, that being the last page of the ‘Contents, to Volume I.’ Foster in the ‘Life’ printed the canceled chapter in full under the heading ‘Introductory and necessary to be Read.’ Before the suppression was agreed upon the sheets were partly printed and the pagination was not altered. Later and before the first edition was exhausted, the revised pagina- tion was made. Many recent auction catalogues fall into the curious error in descrip- tion by stating that the chapter in question had been transferred to the second volume... .”’ “MARTIN CHUZZLEWIT”’: FIRST EDITION—PARTS 190.

Monday Thirty-first May 1858.’ A VERY IMPORTANT LETTER, DE- VOTED ENTIRELY TO HIS SEPARATION FROM HIs WIFE, AND HOW THE CHILDREN WILL BE CARED FoR. Reads in part,—‘‘I have heard such thronging multitudes of wonderful and inexplicable lies about myself during the last week, that tt almost bewilders me to find you in possession of the truth. . . . Our separation ts a natural end of a course of years. . . . But it would be a poor example to be driven mad myself, or to drive Mrs. Dickens mad; and one or both of the two resulis must have happened, tf we had gone on living together. There is no anger or ill-will between us. I believe not the slightest. Our elder children are at least as sensible that the thing must be as we are. . . . I do not doubt that we shall all be much the better for it. I only want to impress upon you that it is calmly and moderately done; that whatever doubt or passion there has ever been on either side, has already died out; that I am sure we only want to forgive and forget, and live at peace; but it was an unhappy day for both, when two such strongly contrasted people came together, but we Wake accept all that, and do not blame the day, and only seek to make the best of tt. : DICKENS (CHARLES).

A SUPERB COPY OF THE “ EDITIO PRINCEPS,’’ OF WHICH ONLY SEVEN COPIES ARE KNOWN, most of these being in the great public libraries. This is probably the First BOOK PRINTED AT STRASBOURG WITH A DATE as the Clement V ‘“‘Constitutiones’’ printed by Eggestein is dated November 21st 1471, the present volume bearing merely the year date and probably issued prior to the ‘‘Con- stitutiones.”’ mh THE VOLUME Is IN MAGNIFICENT STATE OF PRESERVATION, PRACTICALLY UNCUT, AND Is THEREFORE EXCEPTIONALLY LARGE, MEASURING 187% BY 1338 INCHES (480 by 340 mm. British Museum copy measures only 477 by 330 mm.) THis Copy ALso CONTAINS THE ORIGINAL BLANK LEAF AT END which is lacking in the British Mu- seum copy. The first and last leaves are slightly time-stained and there are a few small worm-holes through the last pages, but aside from this the entire volume is ex- ceptionally fresh and free from blemish. A vellum fly-leaf inserted at the beginning of volume contains a contemporary manuscript diagram and signature of ‘‘ Johannes Vogt’’ in lower corner. This volume is from the LIBRARY OF WILLIBALD PIRCKHEIMER of Nurenberg (1470- 1536; Councillor of Emperor Charles V, friend of Erasmus and Diirer, to whom many of Diirer’s letters from Venice were written), and CoNTAINS His FAMousS BOOKPLATE WHICH WAS EXECUTED BY DURER BEFORE 1503. This plate is considered one of the most interesting of all German bookplates, designed and cut on wood by Albrecht Diirer, the greatest of all exlibris designers. The plate is in the second state with the inscription in Hebrew, Greek and Latin in the upper section. In removing the plate from the original binding it has been slightly mutilated, but is in very good state of preservation for a plate of its age and of such large dimensions. It is probable that the volume itself was originally illuminated for a member of the Pirckheimer family as the ecclesiastic arms painted on the first page are the same as those of Willibald Pirckheimer appearing on the bookplate. From thence it probably passed with the other Pirckheimer books and manuscripts into the possession of THOMAS HOWARD, EARL OF ARUNDEL, and must have reposed for some time at ARUNDEL HOUSE as it was amongst the volumes presented by HENRY Howarp, DUKE oF NoRFOLK, to the ROYAL SOCIETY in 1666. The Royal Society stencil stamp, “Soc. Reg. Lond. ex dono Henri. Howard, Norfolciensis,’’ appears on the margin of the second leaf, and the Society’s ‘‘So_p”’ stamp is on final leaf. It also contains the bookplate of the LAKELANDS LIBRARY. A A MAGNIFICENT EXAMPLE OF EARLY PRINTING AND WITH A PROVENANCE OF THE GREATEST INTEREST AND IMPORTANCE.

Of W. de Machlinia, the first English law printer, nothing is known after 1486, but it is probable that Richard Pynson, who was his successor, went to England soon after that date. Pynson had studied at the University of Paris, and had learned to print at Rouen with Guillaume Le Talleur. Pynson did not succeed to any of his predecessor’s type, and when he first went to England he may [ Continued a cr] “ > . ; — gi a of ‘ i ee 3 a sa , hs ¢ * , + e as es Be ee aps 1 are Ra ae 'y - be ad ‘ F \ wo 2 t F. z ‘ t oe 7 * =a = * rl 7 . + - + y a oe - nt yr. * A. im : 4 £ - ‘ : - — os a ‘a : ~~ n .

HEATH’S MILITARY COSTUME SPORTING MAGAZINE LINOw333 | [ No. 594 ] “y First Session, Tuesday Evening, February 24th [ No. 226. EarLy PRiIntING—Continued | have commissioned his old master to print two law-books for him, Statham’s “‘Abridgement”’ and Littleton’s ‘‘ Tenores novelli.’”” THE TExT oF THESE Two Books Is PRINTED IN A CURIOUSLY SMALL AND CONTRACTED TYPE, USED NOWHERE ELSE, AND APPARENTLY CUT SPECIALLY FOR THE PRINTING OF THESE Two Books. WHAT PART PYNSON HAD IN THE PRINTING OF THE Books IT IS DIFFICULT TO DECIDE. THE TABLE Is SIGNED ‘‘ PER ME RICHARD PYNSON.’’ BUT THE LAST LEAF BEARS THE CYPHER OF LE TALLEUR AS PRINTER. If Pynson had subsidized the press and paid for the type we should expect to find it in his possession in England later. Very probably they printed the volume together at Rouen in order that Pynson might begin business with it in England. THIS VOLUME IS VERY RARE, ESPECIALLY WHEN, LIKE THE PRESENT Copy, IT CONTAINS THE Two PRELIMINARY LEAVES OF TABLES. THE Two LEAVES ARE PRINTED AS A SEPARATE PRELIMINARY QUIRE, AND BEING ON THICKER PAPER, IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THEY WERE PRINTED LATER THAN THE BOOK, AND INSERTED ONLY IN SOME CoPIEs. Copies in early bindings, with no appearance of mutilation, are often without them. The present copy is remarkable also, as containing SEVENTEEN BLANK LEAVES distributed throughout the volume in nearly every signature from b to x, a condition apparently unnoticed in previously described copies, thus forming what may pos- sibly be A UNIQUE Copy. IN SUPERB CONDITION AND WITH EXCEPTIONALLY WIDE MARGINS, LEAVES are evi 1254 BY 854 INCHES. With several contemporary manuscript notes or additions. The binding is a VERY FINE SPECIMEN OF EARLY OXFORD WORKMANSHIP, at least one of the stamps being reproduced in Gibson's ‘‘ Early Oxford Bindings”’ (No. 74). This work is of supreme importance to those interested in the infancy of English printing. Gordon Duff (No. 374) lists 14 copies, only 3 of which aside from the Pier- pont Morgan copy are listed as in private hands. The Bodleian Library possesses only an imperfect copy. This collection of the Statues of England is so rare as to have escaped the researches of Ames, Herbert, and Dibdin. It is printed in Secretary type, and is the only exam- ple of this type used in England. Pynson, who was the assistant of Caxton and the fellow-worker of Wynkyn de Worde, was the first to introduce into England the type known as Secretary-Gothic, an imitation of the cursive Gothic hand, which had been invented in France and become fashionable with some of the early French printers. From the Bridgewater Library with large bookplate, and the Herschel V. Jones collection with bookplate. [See Reproduction of First Page of Text] RARE WORKS: WITH BOOKPLATE OF WM. S.

S. of the Author, to William Winter, reading, in part: ‘‘ Like many better men, I have essayed to write plays. I am, I frankly confess, ignorant as to technique, and probably in many of the other qualities that go to make a successful playwright. The suspicion of this makes me wish to obtain such skilled criti- cism of my attempts, as shall show me the defects and short-comings of my work. In hopes that it might be possible to get such criticism and suggestion from you, I venture to ask if you would be willing to let me read you a play or two of my writing? I feel most diffident, in making this request, and am doubtful as to what honorarium to offer for a service which I realize 1s out of your true line of work. But if you are disposed to grant this favor, and the enclosed check is sufficient to make tt worth your while to spare me a little of your time and brain, I leave the quantity entirely to you, only dete: for frankness in what you give, be it ever so harsh and disappointing.” FoORE-EDGE PAINTING.

The series of ORIGINAL WATERCOLOR DRAWINGS by I. R. Cruikshank are very finely executed, and depict Naval and Military occurrences and scenes in the French Revolution.

Each drawing is mounted on a sheet of uniform size. Among some of the drawings by Cruikshank may be mentioned the following,— Antelope Packet engaging a French West Indiaman, 1793; Burning the French Fleet at Toulon; Nelson Boarding the San Josef; Execution of Parker the Mutineer; Battle of the Nile; Napoleon Watching the Burning of Moscow; The Body of Tippo Sahib Discovered; Battle of Copenhagen; Death of Abercrombie (an exquisite drawing) ; Boulogne; Battle of Trafalgar; Taking the Cape of Good Hope; Storming Fort El Muros; Wellington Entering Madrid; Buonaparte’s Flight from Russia; Storming of Ciudad Rodrigo; The Battle of Vittoria; Flight of the King of Spain from Vittoria; Siege of St. Sebastian; Sortie from Bayonne; Bonaparte Signing the Treaty of Abdi- cation; Battle of Toulouse; Meeting of the Emperor Alexander and the Duke of Wellington; Duke of Wellington Receiving the Thanks of the House of Lords; Duke of Wellington received by Louis the XVIII after the Battle of Waterloo; and others of great interest.

SUCH LENGTHY AUTOGRAPH LETTERS BY A KING OF THE 16TH CENTURY ARE MostT UNUSUAL AND RARE. This letter, couched i in endearing expressions, was evidently a love-letter to one of his mistresses, ‘‘ Alise,’’ this name being written on the back of the letter. The court of Henry III was disgraced by favoritism, intrigues, bigotry, and licentiousness; and the king’s personal character was not such as to command respect. In this love- letter, the king comments on the base ingratitude of the world, and expresses his gratitude to his fair lady for the consolation she has given his poor afflicted and desolate soul, his love for her, his longing for her kindness and consideration, his desire to serve her and obey her wishes at all times, etc. At the close of his letter, he mentions Charles de Guise, the Cardinal de Lorraine,—‘‘ My lord, the Cardinal of Lorraine is very ill." The latter died in 1574. [See Reproduction of Last Portion] EE a ae SS ee —— ee a Second Session, Wednesday Afternoon, February 25th WITH ETCHED ILLUSTRATIONS BY REMBRANDT 343. HERCKMANS (E.).

Enclosed in half brown morocco double slip-case, elaborately gilt tooled backs, with protecting. cloth covers for each volume London: Printed for Thomas Hodgkins, 1807 First EDITION. EXTREMELY RARE IN THE ORIGINAL BINDING. The plates were designed by Mulready, and engraved by William Blake. They did not meet with Lamb's approbation. He characterized one as ‘‘damn’d beastly vul- garity,”’ and that the incidents depicted by some of the others were not mentioned in the text. Mrs. Godwin, whom he called the ‘‘ bad baby,’’ he blames as responsible for the selection of the titles to the plates. Charles Lamb, in writing to Manning, May 10, 1806, throws additional light on the composition of this now famous book. ‘‘She (Mary) is doing for Godwin’s book- seller twenty of Shakespeare’s plays, to be made into children’s tales. Six are already done by her, to wit, ‘The Tempest,’ ‘Winter’s Tale,’ ‘Midsummer Night,’ “Much Ado,’ ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona,’ ‘Cymbeline,’ and ‘The Merchant of Venice’ is in forwardness. I have done ‘Othello’ and ‘Macbeth,’ and mean to do all the tragedies. I think it will be popular among the little people, besides money. It’s to bring in sixty guineas. Mary has done them capitally, I think you’d think.” PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE DEDICATEE-PUBLISHER 405. LAMB (CHARLES). Album Verses. With a Few Others.

ONE OF THE FINEST LEECH WATERCOLOR DRAWINGS. A pretty maiden has come to draw water from a wayside well. She sings as she turns the great iron handle until the bucket appears in view. Fancy her dismay upon seeing in the bucket, instead of the clear sparkling water, a man’s head, his red nose protruding over the rim! Leech depicts the horrified astonishment on her face with faithful accuracy, leaving many conjectures as to the outcome of her amazing discovery. A friar is seen slowly retreating to a cathedral in the background. 410. LEEcH (JOHN). ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAwING. Height, 7; length, 10 inches. Accompanied by reproduction.

Across the bottom of drawing the following words appear,—‘‘ Master Jackey won't be afraid of salt-water, will he! He'll come to his Martha and bathe like a man.” This fine delineation represents a bathing-house brought right into the sea. A woman of rotund proportions, full clad, is disporting in Neptune’s domain. Just at the door of the bath house, is an ill-tempered child, remonstrating with all the vigor of his young body against joining his nurse in the water.

Most of the drawings were developed and placed on stone by Mr. W. Hart, who also executed all the plates of the later works.’”’—WN, ature, 1881.

Pius VII, who had predicted that Castiglioni would become Pope, created him Cardinal and Bishop of Cesena in 1816, transferring him in 1821 to Frascati and giving him important charges. After Leo XII's death Castiglioni was chosen to succeed him and chose the title of Pius VIII. The collection comprises,— (1) LETTER, with AUTOGRAPH SUPERSCRIPTION SIGNED as Bishop of Montalto, 1815. (2) TWENTY-ONE (21) AUTOGRAPH LETTERS BY Prius VIII, twenty (20) of which are SIGNED. These were written by Pius VIII when he was Cardinal Castiglioni and Bishop of Cesena, and are, therefore, signed as such. There are 34 quarto pages entirely i in his autograph. (3) Four LETTERS, each with AUTOGRAPH SUPERSCRIPTIONS IN THE AUTOGRAPH OF THE POPE, SIGNED AS CARDINAL. One letter, however, is signed as Cardinal Castiglioni and Bishop of Frascati.

The descriptions follow in detail:— (1) This drawing depicts a character of the lower orders of London. He is drinking soup, not in the established way, but by holding the plate to his lips. This plate being rather large of size, the contents are running over and falling on to his sleeve. A large dog is holding on to him, catching whatever soup is being spilt. (2) A head portrait of a young man; (3) A bust portrait of an elderly man; (4) A fine watercolor depicting an elderly man and a young lad surveying a portrait on cloth, held up for their inspection by a vendor; (s) This is a picture of a portly cook, being dragged along unwillingly to the pone of Hades, by death who is carrying a sharply pointed stick upon which is a owl; (6) This interesting drawing has the following autograph inscription on it: “A Negro girl plaiting another’s wool.’’ This humorous title is quite explanatory of the picture; ; (7) A design for a mural, comprising horses heads, a loving cup, and various sporting articles at the bottom; : ne (8) This plate is titled: ‘Hunting Breakfast. Symptoms of Drowsiness.” This is also in the artist’s autograph. The drawing depicts several sportsmen at breakfast; (9) A young girl holding a sprinkling can, about to sprinkle some plants which are in pots. Two small dogs accompany her; (10) This picture shows the grim form of death embracing a young woman. The manner in which Rowlandson depicted the terror on the woman's face is indeed noteworthy.

Bound into an oblong imperial 8vo volume, full fawn crushed levant morocco, double gilt fillet borders on sides enclosing panel of a line design, with very richly gilt corners, the lines broken up by fusil shaped inlays of red and green levant, richly gilt paneled back, with inlays, inner gilt levant borders, gilt, gilt edges, BY RIVIERE. THIS FINE AND DESIRABLE COLLECTION OF WATERCOLORS IS DESCRIBED BELOW IN FuLL DETAIL. (1) In the foreground is a man with a long pitchfork going after another who is rapidly scaling a gate. In his attempt to escape the unwelcome prongs, his blunder- buss which he carries on his shoulder, accidentally goes off, causing him to lose his balance. Another figure of a man is in the background waving frantically. Two ee dogs are making a hasty retreat and a cock is crowing to add tone to the ustle; (2) This picture is titled in the artist’s autograph: ‘‘ How to Stop a Horse at pleas- ure.’ A horse is seen rushing madly into the stable with his rider on his back. An old fashioned country pump is seen to the left. Frightened fowl are flying this way and that. A farmer in his amazement has dropped his pitchfork and is calling to the helpless equestrian to be careful; (3) This drawing is illustrative of a gentleman seated on a bench conversing with another, who is standing. The latter has a most curiously shaped face. Both are gesticulating with their hands; (4) This is perhaps a scene in the 16th century. A king is seated at a repast, holding a great goblet of wine. At his right isan Archbishop and a bishop, behind whom are two attendants holding their croziers. Opposite the king is the court jester. Seated to the left of the king at the table is a monk holding a plate with but a single fish upon it, apparently intended to be passed. The bishops are looking at the poor monk with surprise and astonishment written on their faces, as though the monk had committed a great breach of etiquette. The attendants are vainly striving to conceal their laughter; (5) Titled in the artist’s autograph: “‘ The Great East Indiaman on Fire in the Bay of Biscay.’’ The boat is in flames and sinking beneath the turbulent waves. Evi- dently an explosion has taken place, for the people are blown in all directions. The sea in the foreground is full of these unfortunates; (6) Three lads are undressing ready to jump into the cool refreshing waters of a lake. Two old women are walking down the path, arm in arm. They are undoubt- edly dreadfully shocked to come across these carefree lads, preparing for a swim; (7) This depicts a free-for-all fight, involving seven participants, some with weapons; (8) Two officers on horseback charging into a crowd of citizens who are running madly away from the brandishing swords of the military men; (9) This depicts a lady fleeing from a pursuing dog. She is upsetting everything in her path in an effort to escape the maddened animal. Her husband, confined to his chair with the gout, is unable to come to her assistance; (10) Titled in the author’s autograph: “‘ Bandy Leg Walk.” Depicts different types of people on a promenade. Some fat, some lean, some elegant, some otherwise; (11) A carriage containing a lady and gentleman is leisurely rolling along. Tied behind is a goose in a cage. A gentleman on horseback, coming from the opposite di- rection, is galloping past, while a dog is plucking the feathers of the poor frightened goose. (12) Depicted in Rowlandson’s characteristic style is a dog lying on the ground, breathing his last. Around him, in a semicircle, are his master and mistresses, gazing itis ect! at their dear departing friend, hoping his spirit will ascend to the canine eaven. 548. ROWLANDSON (Tuomas).

Personal letter; May 19, 1873. On further personal matters; June 8, 1873. A REMARKABLE LETTER, reading in part: “. . . I am greatly pleased by the bit about myself when I was young. The utter loneliness of my life now makes me look back to those days as belonging to another world altogether. . . . Now may I ask a few questions more? Chiefly this. Believing as you do that the Kingdom of God is soon to come, could you consider it your duty to act in all respects as if you knew nothing about its causes. Or if not, what difference does it make in your action. For instance, suppose that there be fear of civil war in England. Would you let it come without making effort to stop it, or would you take measures as if you thought this world was still to go on, to prevent it? . . ."’ The letter continues in this vein; May 28 [1874]. Important letter; August 28, 1875. In which he speaks of religious people as a body as being almost entirely destitute of sympathy, however well-meaning; No date. Personal letter.

Edinburgh, 1822 First EDITION. Inserted are Two IMPpoRTANT AUTOGRAPH LETTERS, SIGNED, of the Author to James Ballantyne, Sir Walter Scott’s printer, and to R. Cadell, the Author’s publisher. The letter to Ballantyne is dated Nov. 1, 1828, and refers to his “‘Peveril.’’ Sir Walter states, “I send you a lot of copy with the proof this day received . . . I do not understand if you reckon on the proceeds of PEVERIL as part of the month’s fund—it (PEVERIL) will certainly be out. Nor do I know if you compute your own but I conclude VOGGO a caly 2 I have £2,500 to pay this season last instalment (for the Abbotsford Estate) of Land. For this I have £1,500 provided but I shall want a bill of yours for £500 & of Constable for the like sum at 3 and 4 months which I can easily make circulable, I cannot make you understand my tale of the dark ages. But I shall want very much Duclos’s Life of Louis XI and the account of the private life of the French by somebody whose name I have forgot.”’ [Etc.] The second letter, to Cadell, is as follows: “I send you Peveril puffed up to the proper size, I hope, or very near it. It will be necessary that, when the press goes on it, tt shall continue without stopping or confusing it with other things, that we be assured against repetitions which such a mass of notes written at different times are extremely likely to occur unless the whole are reviewed in a connected form.” xy pian FROM SIR WALTER REFERRING TO His NOVELS ARE OF THE GREATEST ARITY.

THE LARGE PoRTRAIT IS a ESPECIALLY BRILLIANT. EDMOND MALONE’S ANNOTATED Copy. On the fly-leaf he has written a long note which is signed and dated June 4th 1785. It should be observed that Malone, in his F annotation at page 226, gives the date of Dr'ummond’s ‘‘ Note” as between 1624 and 1625 whereas Masson ascribed it as between 1614 and 1616. | “The Authors I have seen on the Subject of Love, are the Earl of Surrey, Sir Thomas Wyat (whom, because of their Antiquity, I will not match with our better Times) Sidney, Daniel, Drayton, and Spenser. . . . The last we have are Sir William Alexander and SHAKESPEARE, who have lately published their Works.”"— Works, 1711, page 226. This note of Drummond’s must belong to the period of 1614-1616, for Alexander was not knighted till 1614, and Shakespeare, who died in 1616, is here spoken of asa if living Author. The word “‘lately’’ induces us to give the earliest date possible to the ef note. See “Drummond of Hawthornden; the Story of his Life and Writings,’’ by o?

The drawings, ‘‘ Pheasant Shooting”’ and “Partridge Shooting’’ have a collector’s stamp in corner partially covered by the mat, the letters, ‘““A. P. E.”’ being all left visible. These beautiful drawings vary to a considerable extent from the published designs in Orme’s “ British Field Sports,’’ and also from the AQUATINT PRINTS of the same subjects offered in the following item, some of the striking differences being,— ““Woodcock Shooting’’: The heads of three men are shown in the drawing where only two appear in the print and four dogs in place of three. The outlines of the trees are also materially different. ‘“*Pheasant Shooting’’: The entire drawing is reversed, the men’s costumes are different, and the four dogs are grouped together. In this drawing the trees and foliage also are quite different from the print. ‘‘Partridge Shooting’: The drawing shows two men and three dogs in the fore- - ground with another huntsman holding a dog in leash standing beside his mount against a high fence in the background at the right, with faint outlines of a house and farm country in the distance at the left. The aquatint does not show the third man with the dog in leash, the entire design being of quite different character. ““Wild Duck Shooting’’: In this drawing the figures of the huntsmen stand close _ together at the right in deep grass, the dogs plunging through the grass and into the water before them, the trees bunched in the center of the drawing with one duck in flight at the upper left, while the aquatint shows trees on either side and the marshy grass and water in the center.

THOREAU—Continued | A Most REMARKABLE AND LENGTHY LETTER as interesting as the beautiful de- scriptive tales he has written which have made him one of the foremost of American essayists, This communication displays the great naturalist’s love of nature and the out- doors, more than any that has come up for public sale in recent years. Part of this lengthy letter follows:—‘‘ We made an excellent beginning of our new life. You may remember that the Saturday previous was.a stormy day. Well we went up in the rain, wet through and found ourselves in a cloud there at mid p. m., in no situation to look about for the best place for a camp. Sol proceeded at once, through the cloud to that memorable stone ‘church yard’ in which we made our humble camp once, and there after putting our packs under a rock, having a good hatchet, I proceeded to build a substantial house, which C. declared the handsomest he ever saw. (He never camped out before, and was, no doubt, prejudiced in its favor.) This was done about dark and by that time we were nearly as wet as if we had stood in a hogshead of water. We then built a fire before the door, directly on the site of our little camp of two years ago, and it took a long time to burn thro its remains to the earth beneath. Standing before this and turning round slowly, like meat that is roasting, we were as dry if not drier than ever after a few hours so at last we ‘turned in!

The letter commences: ‘J [ Continued Kindly read Conditions of Sale in forepart of Catalogue [No. 647. ToLstoy—Continued ] telegraphed you asking you to stop the printing of the twelfth chapter. This is exceedingly necessary and even if tt is already printed, the printed matter must be destroyed and the following additions, which are herewith enclosed, must be made. This is important not only for the purpose of the success of the book, but also for my conscience. Due to the in- discretion of one of my friends who gave this chapter to an English correspondent, the description of the execution tn Orsha has been printed and reprinted in many newspapers. This narration created a sensation in Russian governmental spheres and the whole book ts falsly interpreted as a denunciation of the Russian conduct of administration. . . . (2) Also a fine letter referring to one of his manuscripts sent for translation to the editor of the “Stuttgart.” : (3) This letter gives one a glimpse of the beauty of character this great Russian novelist possessed. This is evidenced by the following lines extracted from the com- munication: ‘J am glad you are contributing to ‘ Posrednik’ and above all, that you have, as you write me, a great desire to help others in the spirit of Christ. . . .”” ae O ue te lela { No. 648] ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT OF ONE OF TOLSTOY’S MOST FAMOUS SHORT STORIES: ‘“‘THE TWO OLD MEN,”?

By THE GREATEST OF MODERN RUSSIAN WRITERS, NONE OF WHOSE Mss. ARE ALLOWED TO BE TAKEN FROM RUSSIA. This manuscript was originally obtained directly from the novelist’s son, Count Leo Leo- vitch Tolstoy, and is the only Ms., or portion of one, that can now be offered for sale, as all of Tolstoy’s MSS., including his novels, essays, personal journals and letters have been donated to the National Museum at Moscow, to be preserved in per- petuity. Moreover, no MS. of Tolstoy would on any consideration be allowed now to leave Russia. This item is, therefore, a prize of the first magnitude, being the manu- script of one of the most famous short stories of Tolstoy, the greatest writer Russia has produced, and by some considered the greatest intellect of the XIXth century. In this particular manuscript the personal touch of Tolstoy, his method of compo- sition, and the amazing fecundity of his thought are strikingly exhibited. Comparing the MS. with the printed version, it is evident that some portions of it were not incorporated in the final draft, and are, therefore, unpublished.
