 Mr. Hoe once told me, on his return from Europe, of a 
 visit he had made to one of the great Libraries, and of his feel- 
 ings of surprise and disgust at the utter lack of reverence and 
 appreciation he found as shown in the want of care given to 
 the great monuments of printing. . The catalogue of this 
 library was rich in the masterpieces of the early printers, and 
 when he asked for them, volume after volume was brought to 
 him covered with dust, with leaves stained and bindings broken 
 and in every way proclaiming the effects of indifference 
 and neglect. ‘‘This,’’ he said, ‘‘confirms me in the conviction 
 that those who love books should have them in custody and 
 will take the best care of them.’’ ‘‘If the great collections of 
 the past had not been sold where would I have found my 
 books??? To have kept unbroken the great library Mr. Hoe 
 collected would no doubt have been a noble monument to his 
 memory, but I am convinced that the remark I have quoted 
 truly states his reason for the direction he gave in his will for 
 the sale of his wonderful collections. He loved his books and 
 wished them to pass after his death to those who would con- 
 tinue to cherish and care for them, and that they in their turn 
 should transmit 'them to the booklovers of the future. 
 
 Mr. Hoe has often said to me that the love of books was 
 born in him. As a very young man he invested his spare 
 money in the purchase of a choice edition of some favorite 
 author, or of books exemplifying the work of famous printers. 
 Beginning with the issues of William Pickering, which were 
 very attractive to him and always had a place in his library, 
 as he grew older and his opportunities increased, the Aldines, 
 Elzevirs, and the issues of the earlier printers claimed his 
 attention, and his love of art led him to enter upon the pur- 
 chase of the many beautiful specimens of the illuminated 
 Books of Hours, Missals, and other Manuscript Books that 
 form such a distinguished section of his library. He was 
 always eager for English literature and spared neither time 
 nor money in a tireless quest for the original editions of the 
 authors who have made our language great. Few if any of 
 the monuments of our literature will be found lacking, and 
 
all are represented by 'the finest copies that could be procured. 
 He was a lover of fine bindings, and his library is rich in speci- 
 mens of the work of all the great binders, ancient and modern. 
 The processes of the binder’s art weré well known to him, and. 
 under his direction the Club Bindery produced work of an 
 excellence not surpassed by any modern bindery. 
 
 As one of the founders and the first president of the Grolier 
 Club he was of the greatest service in giving that institution 
 its proper direction, and in guiding its activities in the chan- 
 nels that have proved so eminently successful. 
 
 Not only was Robert Hoe the greatest collector this country 
 has produced, but he was a great student as well. An evening 
 passed with him among his books could not fail 'to impress one 
 with the wide extent of his reading. It was a constant surprise 
 to me, who have been so many times with him examining some 
 particular treasure, to find how intimately he was acquainted 
 with the subject under discussion. The old reproach, so often 
 undeservedly said of a collector, that he was one who never 
 read his books, could not be applied to him. 
 
 Possessed of ample means, with knowledge and the true 
 booklover’s taste, this library he has brought together is, be- 
 yond all question, the finest this country has ever contained, 
 and its final dispersion by auction the greatest of book sales. 
 It is the way its creator wished it to go, but it may well be a 
 cause for regret that many of its treasures may find their way 
 back to the old world countries from which he brought them. 
 Happy will be many a booklover to include among his treas- 
 ures gems from the library of Robert Hoe, the possession of 
 which will give his library distinction. 
 
 BEVERLY CHEW.

Bibliographical Motes 
 
 HE sale of the Robert Hoe Library will be an event of 
 unprecedented importance in the annalsof book sales. 
 Less than a decade ago in a modest preface to his first 
 ‘*Catalogue of Books by English Authors who lived be- 
 fore the year 1700,’’ Mr. Hoe wrote as follows: ‘‘ Hav- 
 mg commenced collecting when quite young, and with no 
 definite plan. my purchases have been such as only a pro- 
 gressive literary or artistic taste and knowledge suggested.”’ 
 A few years later the catalogue had grown to fifteen vol- 
 umes recording over 14,000 titles of rare books, a number 
 considerably less than appears in these catalogues. 
 
 A span of fifty years bridges the beginning and the end 
 of Mr. Hoe’s collecting. The entire period was marked by 
 what was so happily designated in his own first preface as 
 ‘‘ progressive taste and knowledge,’’ and no reader of these 
 catalogues can fail’ to discern the remarkable range of 
 Mr. Hoe’s knowledge, the assiduity of his search for rare 
 books in the intervals of a busy life devoted to other pur- 
 suits, and the unrelenting standard of quality which led 
 him to discard any book, no matter how valuable when a 
 better copy could be found. Probably no other collection 
 in the world is in such uniformly superb condition, a fact 
 of the highest importance to collectors. 
 
 The library is enriched by trophies of all the great sales 
 of Mr. Hoe’s half-century of collecting. Perhaps no such 
 array of books of important provenance and high associa- 
 tion interest was ever before assembled. Books with the 
 arms of Kings and Queens; beautiful manuscripts ante- 
 dating printing, and the earliest examples of printed books; 
 books from Grolier’s library in finest condition; autographs, 
 manuscripts and letters; annotated books—the imagination 
 kindles at these intimate reminders of the great and illus- 
 trious names of many periods and nations. 
 
 A word may be permitted concerning the system employed 
 in preparing this catalogue. .Circumstances required that 
 the work should be done in the briefest possible time and 
 with strict reference to the commercial aspects of the sale, 
 purely bibliographical considerations being subordinated. 
 Every important book has been carefully collated and the 
 utmost care exercised to ensure accuracy of description. 
 
 Vil 
 
The great size of the library made the task of dividing it 
 into four parts, each representative of all classes of books, 
 extremely difficult and tedious; and for the same reason it 
 became necessary to use the utmost reticence in descriptions 
 and notes. While it is not supposed that the catalogue is 
 entirely free from errors, it is believed that it will be found 
 far more accurate than the ordinary sales catalogue and 
 will for many years prove to be a valuable work of reference. 
 
 To all collectors of rare books it may be pointed out that 
 this sale affords opportunities which will seldom and in 
 some instances never again occur. The great libraries of 
 the world are rapidly securing the extremely rare books, 
 where they always remain, and collectors will, to again use 
 the words of Mr. Hoe’s preface, be ‘‘ seeking the unattain- 
 able.”’ 
 
 It is impossible to present any adequate synopsis of the 
 features of a library, of which nearly all the books would 
 be ‘‘features’’ of a less important collection. We only 
 offer a brief and imperfect classification and name a few of 
 the many representative works of each class. 
 
 MANUSCRIPTS: The manuscripts form one of the richest 
 and most interesting sections of the Library, numbering 
 over 250 entries, of which about 80 are illuminated Hore. 
 They represent specimens of the various schools, styles and 
 periods, and broadly illustrate the Art of. Manuscript Illu- 
 mination. Ranging from a Twelfth Century Codex of 
 Bede’s Commentaries and a remarkable Thirteenth Century 
 Josephus, to the more modern cealigraphers, as, for instance, 
 Nicolas Jarry, they include examples of the schools of Hans 
 Memling, Jehan Foucquet, Mantegna and Geoffroy Tory. Of 
 special significance are the famous Pembroke Hore, exe- 
 cuted in England about 1440; the superb Missal of Charles 
 VI; the Hore made for Anne of Beaujeu, daughter of 
 Louis XI; the Ovid executed for Anne de Bretagne, wife 
 of Louis XII, and the Touranian Missal. Almost without 
 exception they are in immaculate condition. 
 
 BINDINGS: As Mr. Hoe was particularly interested in the 
 Art of Bookbinding, this department is naturally one of 
 surpassing interest. Not only ure all the great binders 
 of recent times represented, but there is a remarkable 
 array of the work of the earlier masters, many rich in the 
 interest of past ownership and other associations. 
 
 Foremost in importance are the volumes bound for 
 that distinguished lover of books Jean Grolier, the dates 
 
 vill 
 
ranging between 1516 and 1552. There are several bind- 
 ings of great historical interest, produced chiefly at Lyons 
 and Paris, for Francis I, Henry the Dauphin, Henry II 
 and Diana of Poictiers, while the remarkable Guicciar- 
 dini, bound for Henry III of France, is of unusual impor- 
 tanee. The famous collectors, Thomas Maioli and Demetrio 
 Canevari, are represented, and there are a large number 
 of Venetian bindings, many with the familiar geometrical 
 designs, some with polychromatic strap-work. Richly orna- 
 mental bindings by Nicolas and Clovis Eve, Le Gascon and 
 Monnier, are also worthy of special mention. A feature of 
 the collection is the large number of bindings by, or attrib- 
 uted to, Padeloup and Derome, and books in Eighteenth 
 Century red morocco with the Arms of Kings, Great Book 
 Collectors, and ‘‘ Femmes Bibliophiles.”’ The English 
 Bindings include a remarkable specimen of early deerskin 
 (the ‘‘ Bede’’ above mentioned), an example by Reynes, 
 books bound for Queen Elizabeth, and Dudley, Earl of 
 Leicester, Charles I and other English Kings and Queens, 
 not forgetting that most original binder Roger Payne; there 
 are also several charming Embroidered Bindings in fine 
 state of preservation and a number of German Repoussé 
 and Dutch Tortoise-shell bindings. Numerous beautiful 
 examples of the delicate work of Bauzonnet, Trautz, Cuzin, 
 Capé, Lortic, Chambolle-Duru, and others are to be found, 
 while inlaid and mosaic specimens from the (Grolier) Club 
 Bindery appear throughout the whole collection. 
 
 INCUNABULA: Pre-eminent among Printed Books is the 
 Gutenberg Bible, the first book printed from movable type 
 —probably the last vellum copy that will ever be offered 
 for sale. The Catholicon, the second and only other known 
 book printed by Gutenberg, is also in the collection, as 
 well as examples from the presses of Fust and Schoeffer. 
 From Mainz printing spread through Germany (Strasburg, 
 Augsburg, Cologne, Nuremberg and other cities being well 
 represented in the collection) to Italy, and examples are 
 found from the presses of Ulrich Han and Sweynheim & 
 Pannartz, including the Lactantius, the first known book 
 printed in Italy (Subiaco). 
 
 _ There are no less than twelve books Sse by Nicolas 
 
 Jenson in his most beautiful type, six of which are on 
 
 vellum, and attention should be called to the fact that this 
 
 collection, which comprises over 150 Incunabula, contains 
 
 sixteen examples printed on vellum. Mention should also 
 1x 
 
be made of the first printed editions of Homer, Euclid and 
 other Classics, the Lascearis, the first book printed in Greek, 
 and that masterpiece of the Aldine Press—the Poliphili 
 Hypnerotomachia of Francesco Colonna. Several of the 
 splendid Chronicles and Romances issued by the early 
 Paris presses are found here, including the only known 
 copy of the Medizval Romance, Cleriardus et Meliadice, 
 on vellum, the famous Mer des Histoires of Verard, and the 
 earliest known edition of the Romaunt de la Rose. 
 
 As will be seen from the catalogue, there is a remarkable 
 collection of Printed Hore, numbering more than 75 ex- 
 amples, including a beautiful specimen by Geoffroy Tory, 
 all of which are in fine condition, mostly printed on vellum 
 and many illuminated; also many books from the later 
 Continental Presses, including a large number of Elzevirs, 
 while the Collection of 465 Books of Emblems contains 
 many of great rarity. 
 
 The Dutch cities, Antwerp and Bruges, are also repre- 
 sented, including a volume from the press of Colard Man- 
 sion, Caxton’s master. There are four examples from Eng- 
 land’s first printer, William Caxton, including the only 
 perfect copy known of Malory’s Morte D’Arthur, in re- 
 markably fine state of preservation. From Wynken de 
 Worde there is a ‘‘ Communyeaycon ”’ undescribed by bibli- 
 ographers and the only known copy of Helyas, Knight of 
 the Swanne, said to be the only book from this press on 
 vellum. The library also contains two books by the un- 
 known printer of St. Albans, including a fine copy of the 
 Book of St. Albans—the first English book on Hawking and 
 the first book in which the cuts were printed in colors— 
 and the rare Nova Statuta printed by William Machlinia 
 in 1482. From the press of Richard Pynson are the Chirche 
 of euyll men and women, 1511, of which the only other known 
 copy is in the Bodleian Library; the Froissart of Sir John 
 Bourchier, 1525, and Lydgate’s Historie of Troye, 1573. 
 
 EARLY ENGLISH LITERATURE: This is another most re- 
 markable section of the Library and one which will appeal 
 to all English-speaking people. Commencing with Caxton’s 
 Chaucer of 1477-78, we find the original private edition of 
 Queen Elizabeth’s Prayer Book of 1569, of which only one 
 other copy is known; Sidney’s Arcadia, 1590, and the rarest 
 of Spenser’s Works, including the Faerie Queene in the 
 First edition. Shakespeare is represented by no less than 
 fifteen quartos, including the Hamlet of 1611 and Troilus 
 
 and Cressida, also a magnificent copy of Venus and Adonis 
 x 
 
in the original vellum, while there is a fine set of the Four 
 Folios, as well as a second copy of the Second Folio, and 
 three variations of the Third Folio. The rarest works of 
 other contemporary Poets and Dramatists, as well as the 
 Poets of the Restoration, are found, including Ben Jonson, 
 Chapmau, Shirley, Marlow, Middleton, Brathwaite, Skelton, 
 Herrick, Suckling, Wycherley (with the author’s autograph 
 inscription), Dryden, Congreve, Defoe, Pope, and very many 
 others. There are also George Herbert’s The Temple (one 
 of only two copies known without date), the Earl of Stir- 
 ling’s Recreations with the Muses, with portrait; the Earl 
 of Surrey’s Poems, the first edition of Walton’s Angler, 
 1653, and two issues of the First Edition of Milton’s Para- 
 dise Lost, and a great number of similar rarities. 
 
 LATER ENGLISH LITERATURE: All the favorite authors are 
 here represented and mostly in the finest possible state. 
 They include the First Edition of Gray’s Elegy, a presenta- 
 tion copy in the original binding of Goldsmith’s Vicar of 
 Wakefield, and uncut copies of the Deserted Village and 
 the Haunch of Venison; an uncut copy of the Kilmarnock 
 Burns and a presentation copy of the Poems of 1793; four 
 of the original productions of William Blake, including 
 the Milton, of which only two other copies are known; the 
 first edition of Keats’ Endymion, with a letter from the 
 poet to Fanny Brawne, and a series of original editions of 
 Shelley, including the Queen Mab. 
 
 AMERICANA: The field of early Americana is fully cov- 
 ered, including the first and extremely rare editions of the 
 four voyages of Vespucci, 1504; four editions of the Letter 
 of Columbus, 1493; De Bry’s Grand Voyages in Latin, 
 1590; early or first editions of Champlain, Peter Martyr, 
 Richard Eden, Hakluyt and the Voyages of the English 
 Navigators. hed 
 
 There is a remarkably fine copy of John Winthrop’s Dec- 
 laration between the English and the Narrowgansetts, 1645, 
 from the first press in North America, of which only 
 three other copies are known, all in public libraries. 
 Smith’s Virginia is on large paper with both portraits and 
 the engraved title in the first state, and with the arms of 
 James Iand the Duchess of Richmond quartered on the 
 binding. Of New York interest are the uncut copy of Den- 
 ton’s New York, the first New York Directory, and the 
 New York Charter of 1719, printed by Bradford; Filson’s 
 Kentucky with the map in perfect condition, of which not 
 
 é x1 
 
more than six copies are known; Smith’s Advertisement 
 for Planters, 1631; Thomas’ Pensilvania, 1628; Wood’s 
 New England’s Prospect; Eliot’s Indian Tracts; Franklin’s 
 Cato Major; an uncut copy of Mason’s Pequot War, and 
 others of equal importance. 
 
 In the later period will be found Longfellow’s Outre- 
 Mer, with the original wrappers preserved and an autograph 
 letter from the author relating to it; Hawthorne’s Fan- 
 shawe; Lowell’s Pioneer; Bryant’s Embargo; and the writ- 
 ings of Irving, Holmes, Poe, Whittier, Emerson and others, 
 all first editions. 
 
 FRENCH BOOKS constitute in point of actual numbers the 
 largest section of the whole library and number nearly 
 5,000 titles. There are a large number of first and other 
 early Editions of the French Classical authors, while the 
 beautiful Kighteenth Century Illustrated Books cannot fail 
 to attract attention. As would naturally be expected from 
 the fact that Mr. Hoe was a member of the Société des Amis 
 des Livres, he was especially interested in modern French 
 works. <A large number of these books, as may be 
 seen from the Catalogue, are Limited Editions printed on 
 special paper, the plates in several states, while many con- 
 tain the original Water-Color Drawings used for the pro- 
 duction of the Illustrations. Moreover, they are almost all 
 most sumptuously bound ‘‘in their redolent crushed le- 
 vant.”’ 
 
 AUTOGRAPHS AND MANUSCRIPTS: One of the letters from 
 Robert Burns to ‘‘ Clarinda ” and the manuscripts of three 
 poems, one unpublished; the manuscript of Scott’s Life of 
 Swift, and an important letter relating to Napoleon; a 
 document signed by Oliver Cromwell; a full letter in the 
 hand of Cardinal Richelieu; a letter from Sterne mention- 
 ing Tristram Shandy; a letter from Carlyle on the Amer- 
 ican Civil War; a letter from David Garrick and one from 
 ' Horace Walpole; the signatures of Killigrew and Congreve; 
 some remarkable manuscripts of Washington Irving, in- 
 cluding extracts from Washington’s Diary, the manuscript 
 of his Life of Oliver Goldsmith and his revised copy for 
 the 1853 edition of Knickerbocker’s History of New York. 
 
 The above very imperfect summary includes a number of 
 important works which do not appear in the first Catalogue. 
 Part I comprises only about one-fourth of the library and it 
 is proposed to hold three additional sales, the dates of 
 which will be announced hereafter.

 * First Edition.. Extremely rare with the portrait. Usually 
 
 considered Marshall’s masterpiece. It is said to have been en- 
 
 graved for presentation by the Earl to bis friends and then de- 
 
 stroyed. The above—a tall copy with some of the edges un-

 * Probably the first edition. Dedicated to John Bodenham 
 and printed for Nicholas Ling the Stationer. Herbert men- 
 tions an edition of 1598, but this is probably an error. There is. 
 little doubt that Allot, and not Bodenham, was the editor, for 
 a copy of this edition in the British Museum contains an epistle 
 in which Allot dedicates to Bodenham this ‘‘ collection of the 
 flowers of antiquities and histories.”’

 Imprinted at London for N[icholas] L[ing] C[uthbert] 
 B[urby] and T[homas] H[ayes], 1600. 
 
 * FIRST EDITION, with the two preliminary blank leaves. 
 Edmund Malone's copy, with his autograph and manuscript 
 corrections throughout; also four pages of verse ‘‘ writ extem- 
 pore,” signed and dated ‘‘John Ward, 1678,” and a manu- 
 script index. 
 
 Valuable for its quotations from Shakespeare and his pre- 
 decessors in English poetry, many of whom are known only 
 by the quotations and references in this volume. It is pos- 
 sible that the John Ward who was the former owner may 
 have been the Vicar of Stratford, who left a manuscript 
 diary of the years 1648-1679, containing a mention of Shake- 
 Speare and his two daughters, and who is the sole authority 
 for the statement that the diaamatist died from the effects of a 
 merry making with Drayton and Ben Jonson.

 * EDITIO PRINCEPS OF THE BIBLE. The remarkable nature 
 and importance of this superlatively great book are such that 
 a discursive comment would be unnecessary. Attention may, 
 however, be drawn to a few of the salient features of the pres- 
 ent example. PRINTED ON VELLUM of the finest quality, it is 
 in remarkably clean and fresh condition, the bold gothic char- 
 acters standing out with undiminished grandeur. Whereas all 
 copies vary slightly, the above is one of the few known to exist 
 with headings at the commencement of the Epistle of S. Jerome, 
 and the first book of Genesis PRINTED IN RED, it being presumed 
 that on account of the difficulty encountered in printing in a 
 second color, this undertaking was discontinued. In the British 
 Museum copy these spaces were left blank. The other chapter 
 headings throughout are written in red in a contemporary gothic 
 hand, thus preserving the symmetry of the page, while the 
 beautiful illuminated initials and decorations, taken in conjune- 
 tion with the antique and massive appearance of the binding, 
 contribute to make this a truly magnificent example, if not one 
 
 47 
 
of the finest in existence. The two leaves, Fo. 269 and 640, 
 which are in facsimile, constitute the only defects. (Hain 3031, 
 Pellechet 2265, Hessels, page 170, No. 6, Proctor, No. 56.) 
 
 It has been suggested by Dr. Schwenke that 30 copies on vellum 
 may have been originally printed; but of these less than a 
 dozen are known to exist, many in imperfect condition. It is 
 also true that most, if not all of the known copies are the prop- 
 erty of public libraries or institutions where they will always 
 remain. IT IS THEREFORE PROBABLE THAT NO OTHER OPPORTUNITY 
 WILL EVER OCCUR TO OBTAIN A VELLUM COPY OF THIS MONU- 
 MENTAL WORK, THE FIRST IMPORTANT BOOK PRINTED FROM MOY- 
 ABLE TYPE. 
 
 The present copy has the bookplate ‘‘ Ex bibliotheca Maiora- 
 tus Familie Nostitziane,’’ dated 1774, and is from the Per- 
 kins and Ashburnham libraries, before which it was in the pos- 
 session of the London bookseller, Nicol. 
 
 It will be observed that the portion chosen for the facsimile, 
 which is the exact size of the original, contains the prophetic 
 utterance in Job, Ch. XIX, verse 23.

 * This charming volume—containing some of Blake’s most 
 beautiful poems—was the first book in which the poet revealed 
 his genius to the world. The method he employed was—as is 
 generally known—a species of engraving, in relief, of both 
 words and designs, which were colored by the hand of the 
 artist himself. The designs were engraved on copper plates 
 and were for the sake of economy entirely wiped off so that 
 the plates might be used for other books—hence the great 
 rarity of these remarkable productions. The coloring of the 
 present copy is most delicate pale blue and light green pre- 
 dominating. ; 
 
 As the arrangement of the plates differs in some copies, we 
 give them in their order: 
 
 Page 1. Blank, 2. Frontispiece, ‘‘The Piper,” 3. Title ‘‘Songs 
 of Innocence,” as above, 4. Blank, 5., Introduction, ‘‘ Piping 
 down the valleys Wild,” etc., 6. Blank, 7. The Shepherd, 
 8 and 9. The Little Black Boy, 10. The Voice of the Ancient 
 Bard, 11 and 12. A Cradle Song, 13. The Blossom, 14 and 18. 
 The Little Girl Lost, 15 and 16. The Little Girl Found, 17. The 
 Lamb, 18. Nurses’ Song, 19. Infant Joy, 20. On Another’s Sor- 
 row, 21. The Little Boy Lost, 22. The Little Boy Found, 28. 
 The Chimney Sweeper, 24 and 25. Spring, 26. The Schoolboy, 
 27. The Laughing Song, 28. A Dream, 29. Holy Thursday, 30. 
 The Divine Image, 31 and 32. The Echoing Green, 33. Night.

 Hoe says, ‘‘I paid £4. 4, 0. for this book. R. H.”

 * Considered by Gilchrist the most curious and significant 
 book ever issued by Blake, the form of which he attributed to 
 Lavater’s Aphorisms. See lot 396. THE EXCESSIVELY RARE 
 ORIGINAL EDITION, very few copies of which were struck off 
 and these also colored by Blake himself. The coloring is ex- 
 ceedingly delicate, blue and green predominating. 
 
 The arrangement of the plates is as follows: 1. Title-page, 2. 
 Blank, 3. The Argument, 4. Blank, 5. ‘‘As a new heaven is be- 
 gun ” (two drawings on this page), 6. The voice of the Devil (one 
 drawing), 7-8. ‘‘Those who restrain desire” (one drawing), 8-9. 
 A Memorable Fancy, ‘‘As I was walking among the fires of 
 hell,” 9-12, Proverbs of Hell, one drawing. 138. ‘‘ The ancient 
 Poets,” etc. (two drawings). 14-15. A Memorable Fancy, ‘‘The 
 Prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel.’’ 16. ‘‘The ancient tradition,” 
 etc. (one drawing), 17. A Memorable Fancy, ‘‘I was in a

 who formed this world” (one drawing). 19-22. A Memorable 
 Fancy, ‘‘ An Angel came to me” (one drawing). 23-24. ‘I 
 have always found,” etc. (one drawing. 24-26. A Memorable 
 Fancy, ‘‘ Once I saw a Devil” (one drawing). 27-29. A Song 
 of Liberty. 30. Blank. 
 
 392. BLAKE (WILLIAM). SONGS OF EXPERIENCE, 1794. 
 The Author and Printer, W. Blake. ORIGINAL EDITION. 
 25 plates colored by the Artist. 8vo, full maroon morocco, 
 richly ornamented sides, gilt edges. 1794 
 
 *The above is a companion volume to the ‘‘Songs of Inno- 
 cence,” produced by Blake shortly after his ‘‘ America.” 
 According to Mr. Muir’s facsimile this book should have 27 
 plates, the present copy wanting the frontispiece and the 
 ‘Vow of Ancient Bard.”’ 
 
 The plates are arranged as follows, by leaves, the versos 
 being blank: 
 
 1. Title-page. 2. Introduction. 38. Earth’s Answer. 4. The 
 Clod & the Pebble. 5. The Chimney Sweep. 6. A Poison Tree. 
 7. Infant Sorrow. 8. The Tyger. 9. The Fly. 10. The Sick

 ‘‘when the voices of children are heard on the green, And 
 whisperings are in the dale” (a different version from that in 
 *‘Songs of Innocence”’), 25. The School Boy, ‘‘I love to rise in 
 a summer morn.”

 are whole page plates, 13 partly illustrated, the rest con- 
 sisting of text with background in colors. 4to, original 
 ealf (back skilfully repaired), in case. 1804 
 
 *THE ORIGINAL EDITION OF THE RAREST OF ALL BLAKE’s 
 PRODUCTIONS. Only two other copies—in the British Museum 
 and the Lenox Library—are recorded, and it was unknown to 
 Gilchrist, as well as to W. M. Rossetti, who compiled the list 
 in the ‘‘ Life of Blake.” ; 
 
 The present example is said to be the finest of the three in 
 existence, an opinion supported by Mr. Muir, who regarded the 
 above superior to both the others. It exhibits a totally differ- 
 ent scheme of color, most noticeable in the larger plates, which 
 shows that Blake produced each separately as a distinct artistic 
 effort, while the richly toned plates in which the figures are 
 modelled in beautiful relief are indications of the artist’s skill. 
 The above copy is similar as regards contents to that in the 
 British Museum, though the coloring of the latter is described 
 as ‘‘dark and indistinct.” The Lenox example has five leaves 
 not in the other two, but wants one leaf which is found in 
 both the others. A description of the above in the hand- 
 writing of Mr. Hoe, also valuable data relating to the British 
 Museum copy, is laid in.

 * WILLIAM BLAKE’S OWN COPY WITH NUMEROUS MS. ANNO- 
 TATIONS THROUGHOUT IN HIS AUTOGRAPH, and his name on the 
 title and on the first page. Written chiefly in the margins of 
 no less than 121 pages (out of 224), these comments are appar- 
 ently jotted down, to use his own words, ‘‘to rectify what I 
 think false in a book I love so much and approve it generally.” 
 while, inadvertently, they give us a near view of Blake in his 
 ordinary occupations at this period. It seems to have set him 
 composing aphorisms—‘‘I love laughing,” ‘‘All finery is a sign 
 of littleness,’’ ‘‘ Let men do their duty and the women will be 
 such wonders,” and similar phrases, while his comments on 
 lying, love of one’s enemies, superstition, money, etc., are 
 quite characteristic. There are also three pages of original 
 notes and emendations at the end. This well-worn volume— 
 which is fully described in Gilchrist’s Life of Blake, a chapter 
 in the first volume being entirely devoted to it—forms one of 
 the most interesting if not important mementos of the great 
 artist-poet.

 that Shakespeare learned printing in Vautrollier’s office.

 LETTER BY BURNS written to Captain Hamilton of Dumfries, 
 from whom Burns had borrowed money. It reads: ‘‘Sir. It 
 is even so.—You are the only person in Dumfries to whom 
 (this has been erased by the writer), or in the word, to whom 
 I have run in debt & I took the freedom with you, because I 
 believed, & do still believe that I may do it with more im- 
 punity as to my feelings than any other person almost that I 
 ever met with.—I will settle with you soon; & I assure you, 
 Sir, it is with infinite pain that I have transgressed on your 
 goodness. The unlucky fact for me is that about the begin- 
 ning of these disastrous times, in a moment of imprudence 
 I lent my name to a friend, who has since been unfortunate: & 
 I of course I had a sum to pay which my very limited income 
 & large family could ill afford.—God forbid, Sir, that any thing 
 should ever distress you as much as writing this car has done me. 
 
 With the sincerest gratitude & most respectful esteem 
 
 I have the honor to be, 
 Sir 
 your very humble servt. 
 Rost. BuRNS.’’

 ‘“Some days, some nights, nay some. hours, like the ‘ten 
 righteous persons in Sodom’ save the rest of the tiresome, 
 vapid, miserable months and years of life—One of these hours 
 my dear Clarinda blesst me with yesternight ... My favorite 
 feature in Milton’s Satan is, his manly fortitude in support- 
 ing what cannot be remedied—in short the wild broken frag- 
 ments of a noble exalted mind in ruins. I mean no more by 
 saying he was a favorite hero of mine. 
 
 I mention’d to you my letter to Dr. Moore, gwing an ac- 
 count of my life: it is truth, every word of it; and will give 
 you the just idea of a man whom you have honor’d with your 
 friendship,’’ ete.

 * A REMARKABLE LETTER FROM CARLYLE ON THE AMERICAN CIVIL. 
 War. ‘‘Last night your account of Charlestown was read to her 
 company by the Lady of this house and tragically interesting 
 we all found it. My expectation is, and that of most people 
 whom I see that the ‘Conquest of the South’ is no whit nearer 
 than ever; nay, my own prwate conjecture is that if perhaps 
 Gen. Lee were on the field (and no longer in a city) with his 
 Army, and happened to have (which I am assured is the fact) 
 something of Strategic Faculty and actual knowledge of cam- 
 paigning,—he might work such woes on those Yankee Gentle- 
 men as would be miraculous to the Editorial mind. Generals 
 are not to be made by clapping cocked hats on them, and ‘Crea- 
 tion’ objects to be ‘whipped’ by a War-ministry of Abe Edi- 
 tors. You have a boundless extent of territory for battlefield ; 
 a ditto of Nescience on the part of your enemies; unless you 
 yourselves lose heart, it has always seemed to me and still seems, 
 their enterprise is impossible. Alas, alas, I never heard of such 
 a war in all my reading, I believe in the annals of the Human 
 Species there was never such another.’’

 CHAMPLAIN’S FIRST EXPEDITION TO CANADA, ascent of the St. 
 Lawrence, and choosing the site for the city of Quebec. Only 
 four other perfect copies are known, and the only recorded auc- 
 tion sale of the first issue was in 1907, when a smaller copy was. 
 bought for the library of the late E. Dwight Church for $2,900. 
 The present copy is in perfect state. with ample margins, and 
 measures 614 x 34 inches. 
 
 There are a few trifling differences, of bibliographical inter- 
 est, between the first and second issues, which are noted for 
 the information of collectors. 
 
 The word ‘‘Cour” in the imprint of the first issue is so 
 spelled. 
 
 The first word of the first line of folio 33 is ‘‘les” not ‘‘Lees,’” 
 as in the second issue. 
 
 Pages 27, 28 and 30 are numbered 29, 27 and 29. (In one 
 other instance there is a notice that folio 30 is wrongly num- 
 bered 29, but the other errors of pagination seem to have been 
 corrected. )

 New Brunswick and New England, with approximate correct- 
 ness, while the map facing page 160 is the first of that coast in

 tions, and is rarely found with the work.

 London: Printed by I. N. for Hugh Perry, 1631 
 
 * First EDITION. Exceedingly Rare. The play is anonymous, 
 but it is mentioned in Henslow’s Diary: ‘‘Lent unto Thomas 
 Downton, the 29 of desembr 1602, to geve unto Harey Chettle, 
 in pte of payment for a tragedie called Hawghman, the some of 
 vs.’? Chettle was the friend of Shakespeare, Green and other 
 dramatists of the time, and edited Green’s ‘‘Groats worth of 
 Wit,’’ in which occurs the notorious attack on Shakespeare 
 describing him as having a ‘‘Tyger’s heart wrapt in a players 
 hide.’? A few months later Chettle published an apology for 
 this statement in his ‘‘Kind Hartes Dreame,’’ where he writes 
 highly of Shakespeare as an actor, praises his uprightness of 
 character, and the civility of his demeanour.

759. CLEVELAND (JOHN). The Character of a London 
 Diurnall. FIRST EDITION. Small 4to, citron levant morocco, 
 gilt edges, by Chambolle-Duru. Printed in the Yeare 1644 
 
 760. CLEVELAND (JOHN). Poems. By J. ©. With 
 Additions. Portrait. 16mo. Printed in the Year 1651 
 * First Edition in the original calf binding and probably 
 unique in this state. Of the two issues printed with date of 
 1651, this is apparently the first. It does not contain the 
 ‘‘Character of a London Diurnall,’’ which is usually included 
 in the later editions, but contains the portrait used again later, 
 and is well printed on good paper, evidently by an established 
 printer. It is extremely rare, while copies of the other issue, 
 though scarce, occur from time to time in the sales-rooms. 
 The other issue (77 pp.) bears every mark of having been a 
 pirated or surreptitious edition, with a fictitious date of 1651. 
 It is badly printed, with errors in typography, on very inferior 
 paper. It has no portrait (not to be expected in a pirated edi- 
 tion) and contains the ‘‘ Character of a London Diurnall.” 
 Hazlitt, Lowndes and a few others describe this inferior edition 
 as the first, but a comparison of the two leaves no doubt that it 
 
 was printed later than the other.

 * Cowper had just published his first two volumes of poems, 
 and had received a letter of praise from Benjamin Franklin, 
 then in France. ‘‘ You have my sincere thanks for your obliging 
 communication, both of my book to Dr. Franklin and of his 
 opinion of it tome... your friendly intimation of the Doctor’s 
 sentiments reached me very seasonably, just when in a fit of 
 dispondence, to which no man is naturally more inclined, I had 
 begun to regret the publication of it and had consequently re- 
 solved to write no more... but I now feel myself differently 
 affected towards my favorite employment, for which sudden 
 change in my sentiments I may thank you and your correspond- 
 ent in France, his entire unacquaintedness with me, a man whom 
 he never saw, nor will see, his character as a man of sense and 
 erudition ... give a value to his commendations and make them 
 the most flattering a poor Poet could receive,’’ ete.

 * FIRST ISSUE OF THE FIRST EDITION, CONTAINING FIFTY 
 Sonnets, of which only two copies are known. A second edi- 
 tion containing fifty-four Sonnets was published in 1592 also. 
 
 The only other recorded copy of this work is in the Bodleian 
 Library. In the other edition of the same year, ‘‘ The Com- 
 plaint of Rosamond” extends from Bb1 to Gg2 (misprinted G) 
 in fours. In the introduction to his reprint of these two edi- 
 tions of ‘‘ The Complaint,” J. Payne Collier writes: 
 
 ‘The ‘Rosamond’ in this form exists only in a single copy 
 (the present is the second recorded copy) appended to the same 
 author’s ‘ Delia,’ 1592; but as it has no separate title-page, the 
 precise date when it originally appeared is uncertain. ... The 
 fact seems to be that Daniel wrote his ‘Complaint of Rosa- 
 mond’ between the years 1585 and 1591: he subsequently col- 
 lected his scattered love-sonnets. and having printed them 
 under the title of ‘ Delia’ in 1592, he added to them his previ- 
 ously published ‘Complaint of Rosamond,’ so that they were 
 then sold together by Waterson, the stationer. ... The differ- 
 ences between the two impressions of the ‘Complaint’ will be 
 found numberless: in some places words and lines were sub- 
 stituted, and in one instance nineteen consecutive stanzas 
 were added, while others were separately inserted.” ...

 * LARGE PAPER COPY. The book is exceedingly rare in any state 
 but upon large paper, and in the fresh and perfect condition of 
 this copy, it may almost be considered unique. Leaf M3, 
 which was missing, has been replaced in facsimile from the copy 
 in the British Museum. This leaf contains verses to the author, 
 signed ‘‘D. Murray.’’ The last leaf of poetry, ‘‘Speech of a 
 Fife Laird,’’ was retained when the book was rebound, but does 
 not belong to it. It takes the place of the last blank leaf. 
 ‘‘Notwithstanding this is called ‘the second impression,’ 
 in the title, it is believed to be the first, and that the change in 
 title has been merely on account of some other matter being 
 added; however this may be, no earlier edition is known.’’—

 The Preface is the work of Franklin himself, in which in 
 “The Printer to the Reader” he says: ‘‘ It would be thought 
 a Piece of Hopocrisy and pharisaical Ostentation in me, if I 
 should say, that I print these Distichs more with a View to the 
 Good of others than my own private Advantage; And indeed I 
 can not say it; for I confess, I have so great Confidence in the 
 common Virtue and Good Sense of the People of this and the 
 neighbouring Provinces, that I expect to sell a very good Im- 
 pression.” This preface is not incorporated in Smythe’s edition 
 of Franklin’s works.

 One of the most interesting facts mentioned is that Cabot’s 
 original maps were in existence in his day. On sig. Diii Cabot’s 
 discoveries in the north are referred to, and it is stated that 
 he drew charts of his voyage ‘‘ which are yet to be seene in the 
 Queenes Maiesties prime Gallerie at White hatt.’’ These maps 
 have entirely disappeared, and much dispute has arisen in con- 
 sequence as to what Cabot may have discovered or whether he 
 really drew any maps of his voyages.

 they were directed. 3 vels. in 2, folio; green levant morocco 
 backs elaborately tooled fileted sides with corner ornaments, 
 doublure of vellum, and vellum fly-leaves, gilt edges, by 
 Riviére. 
 
 Imprinted at London by George Bishop, Ralph Newberie, 
 and Robert Barker. Anno 1599-1600. 
 
 * A LARGE, CLEAN, AND EXCEEDINGLY FINE cCoPy, from the 
 Brayton Ives collection. With the original ‘‘ Voyage to Cadiz’’ 
 (Vol. I. pp. 607-619) which is either lacking in many copies, 
 having been suppressed by order of Queen Elizabeth after the 
 disgrace of the Earl of Essex, or else appears in a reprint. 
 The original ‘‘Voyage’’ contains eight paragraphs on page 
 607, and ends at page 619 with a woodeut. 
 
 In Vol. I. pp. 187-208 is a curious poetical treatise entitled 
 ‘“The processe of the Libel of English policie, exhorting all 
 England to keepe the sea,’’ which is not in the first edition. 
 
 In Vol. III. (II. as here bound) is a genuine, original im- 
 pression of the first state, in perfect condition, of the rare map 
 or ‘*‘ Hydrographical Description,’’ the work of Edward Wright, 
 author of ‘‘Errors in Navigation,’’ assisted by Hakluyt, and 
 probably by John Davis, the explorer, and probably engraved 
 by Molyneux. Molyneux engraved a map which was too late 
 for the first edition, and appears in the second, but unsigned. 
 Hakluyt substituted a map for the first edition until Moly- 
 neux’s should be finished, consequently the two are not similar. 
 
 Hallam says in his ‘‘Introduction to the Literature of 
 Europe,’’ this is the best map of the xvith century. It repre- 
 sents the utmost limit of geographical knowledge at the close 
 
 ‘ of that century, and far excels the maps in the edition of 
 Ortelius in 1588. It has also a Shakesperian interest as the 
 ““New Map’’ is referred to in ‘‘ Twelfth Night,’’ Act. III. se. 2 
 as follows, ‘‘He does smile his face into more lines than is in 
 the new map with the augmentation of the Indies.’’? (Feb. 
 1601-2, Hall of the Middle Temple.)

 of those parts, abounding with things necessarie, pleasant, 
 and profitable for the life of man: with the natures and dis-

 and translated out of Portugese by Richard Haklvyt. Small

 * PRINTED ON VELLUM. THE ONLY KNOWN COPY OF THIS 
 REMARKABLE PRODUCTION OF WYNKYN DE WORDE’S PRESS, and 
 said to be the only book printed by De Worde on vellum. The 
 only record of its existence is in a manuscript copy of the title 
 in the Bagford collection copied by Ames, and the reference 
 in the colophon of Copland’s later edition that he trans- 
 lated it originally for Wynkyn de Worde. The edition in the 
 British Museum in the Garrick collection is that printed by. 
 Copland. There is no doubt that Ames must have seen this 
 copy, as he states that it is printed on parchment, but he gives 
 the title only, apparently not having examined it. 
 
 Under this title of Heylas, Knight of the Swan, appears 
 the first English version of the legend of Lohengrin, with 
 romantic additions.

 * FIRST EDITION, An exceptionally large and fine copy, 
 measuring 5 5/8x8 13/16 inches. A manuscript note by Mr. 
 Hoe calls attention to the fact that the leaves are unwashed 
 and in beautiful condition. A very small portion of the blank 
 margin of one leaf seems defective, but this is an original de- 
 fect in the sheet, which isuncut. This work is of an allegorical 
 character, and was intended by the author to defend the posi- 
 tion of the Catholic party in the reign of Queen Mary. The 
 author states in the Conclusion that the Flies were intended to 
 represent the Catholics, and the Spiders the Protestants.

 * FIRST FOLIO EDITION of the collected works. and Jonson’s 
 own edition. A LARGE PAPER COPY OF BOTH VOLUMES. The 
 Huth copy of the first volume was believed to be unique on 
 large paper, and the existence of this complete second volume 
 is usually denied. The Huth copy contains the three plays 
 edited by the author towards a second volume, viz.: ‘ Bar- 
 tholomew Fayre,” ‘‘ The Staple of Newes”’ and ‘‘The Divell is 
 an Asse.” Mr. Brinsley Nicholson, in his exhaustive account 
 of the early folio editions of Jonson’s works, in ‘‘ Notes and 
 Queries,” June 18, 1870, says: ‘‘ The noncontinuance of the at- . 
 tempt at a second collected volume beyond the third play, 
 ‘The Staple of News,’ was probably due to the damning by 
 the town of ‘ The New Inn’ in that same year,” thus implying 
 that he did not know of the second volume. The three plays 
 in the second volume are dated 1631; the general title, 1640. 
 This copy is clean and perfect throughout and measures 
 12 11/16 x 8 5/16 inches.

 ““My dearest Fanny. 
 
 I had a better night last night than I have had since my 
 attack, and this morning I am the same as when you saw me. I 
 have been turning over two volumes of letters written between 
 Rosseau (sic) and two ladies in the perplexed strain of mingled 
 finesse and sentiment in which the ladies and gentlemen of those 
 days were so clever, and which is still prevalent among Ladies of 
 this country who live in a state of reasoning (?) romance. 
 
 “<The likeness however only extends to a mannerism not to the 
 dexterity. What would Rousseau have said at seeing our little 
 correspondence! What would the Ladies have said! I don’t care 
 much.—I would sooner have Shakespeare’s opinion about the 
 matter. The common gossiping of washer-women must be less 
 disgusting than the continual and eternal fence and attack of 
 Rouseau and these sublime petticoats. * * * * * * 
 
 ““Mr. Barry cornwall has sent me another book, his first, 
 with a polite note. I must do what I can to make him sensible 
 of the esteem I have for his kindness. If the northeast (wind) 
 would take a turn it would be so much the better for me.
