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

Britain to deprive us of our Liberties by assorting the Souvereign Au-

power every instance of her Injustice and arbitrary Power towards us.

“T embrace with pleasure the opportunity by my sons of presenting you
many Thanks for your kind Letter and obliging Present of an elegant Lott
of your new Edition of The History of Republicks.

litical of Simple Governments, will recommend to the public my poor

The above letter written while President of the United States relates
to the revenue of the country, reading in part,—
“T am rejoiced to find that the prospects of the Revenue for the present
year, encourage the expectation that there will be no deficiency to in-
trench upon the annual appropriation of ten Millions, to the discharge
of the principal and interest of the Public Debt—My apprehension how-
ever has been that the deficiency would be more considerable the next
than the present year: and I very cordially congratulate you, that the
result, will afford so satisfactory a commentary upon the accuracy of your
fiscal anticipations.
I have received anonymous complaints against Captain Matthews, Com-
mander of the revenue Cutter at Charleston, S. C. who is charged with
wasting his own time and misusing the Vessel. The Collector of the
Port, shares in part of the censure. He is now in this part of the coun-
try; and has visited me—But said nothing to me, nor I to him wpon
public business.”

“Since I parted with you at Albany I have reflected that a number of

from the balloting—I mean the Locations which are South of the Line
of Cession or line of purchase of 1769. . .
You will also observe that the Locations which I have filed, have en-
dorsed on them an Acknowledgement taken before a Judge of the Supreme
Court of the actual signing of the persons whose Names are affixed to
them, which also effectually removes any suspicion of their being fictious
names—of their being signed without the consent of the several persons.

And trends a devious way:
I walk therein amid the din
Of busy London day.
I walk where wealth and squalor meet,
And think upon a time
When others trod this saintly sod
And heard St. Martin’s chime.”
“But when those solemn bells invoke
The midnight’s slumbrous grace,
The ghosts of men come back again
To haunt that curious place;
The ghosts of sages, poets, wits
Come back in goodly train
And all night long, with mirth and song,
They walk St. Martin's Lane.”

I am going to give a grand ball next Wednesday, January the 25th.,
to celebrate the birthday of the Queen, my mother; I cannot tell you
how enchanted I will be to see you at this affair, if the date suits you
and you would like to come, providing you can get away from London for
a while: I hope you will bring with you any member of your family you
desire. I have made no similar invitation to the Countesse of Stahrem-
berg thinking on account of the bad weather she would be loath to take
such a long voyage. But I will beg of you to give her my compliments
and to tell her that I thought of inviting her, and that I hope she wll
always do me the honor of paying me a visit, and that by doing so she
will make me very happy to allow me to receive her. In short if you can
come, bring whom you wish. Goodbye my dear Count. I am always,
yours,
Your faithful friend,
GrEoRGE R.”

AN IMPORTANT WAR LETTER, AND A VERY FINE SPECIMEN. Mentions Gen-
erals Meigs, Thomas and Sherman, and directs the recipient to take Mo-
bile, destroy rail-road, rolling stock, ete. Owing to the importance of
the communication, it is quoted in full.
“T am in receipt of a dispatch from Gen. Meigs informing me that you
have made requisition for a construction corpts and material to build 70
miles of rail-road. I have directed that none be sent. Gen. Thomas army
has been depleted to send a force to you that they might be when they
could act in the winter and at least detain the force the enemy had in
the West. If there had been any idea of repairing rail-roads it could have
been done much better from the North when we already had the troops.
I expected your movements to have been co-operative with Sherman's
last. This has now entirely failed. I wrote to you long ago urging you
to push forward promptly and to live upon the country and destroy rail-
roads, machine shops and not to build them. Take Mobile and hold it
and push your forces to the interior to Montgomery and Selma. Destroy
rail-road, rolling stock and everything useful for carrying on war and
when you have done this take such positions as can be supplied by water.
By this means alone you can occupy positions from which the enemy’s
roads in the interior can be kept broken.

With engraved portrait and colored lithograph. Together, 3 pieces.
Written while Secretary of the Treasury, and relating to claims of
Pennsylvania.—
“IT am very sorry that the absence of the Comptroller of the Treasury,
in consequence of ill health, renders it impossible to complete at this
time the adjustment of the purchase, which is the subject of your
Excellency’s letter of the 26th instant.
Immediately after his return, which will probably be in about ten
days, the most particular attention will be paid to the business.
I observe with pleasure that the opinion of the Attorney General of
Pennsylwania obviates a material part of the question which has existed
between the Comptroller of the Treasury of the United States and the
Comptroller General of Pensylvania; and I imagine that a very simple
inquiry on the return of the former to this place will remove any
remaining difference of construction.”

work.—
“T have too much respect for a check for two hundred dollars to send
it back by return mail. But back it must go, and back it will come,
with thanks and regrets that I cannot oblige you and accept my forty
guineas.
I have promised all that I write for the present to the Atlantic
Monthly and of course I must decline all temptations to literary in-
jfidelities.
I am pleased to hear of all you are doing for Woodstock, and very
glad that its history is to be written. I have Miss Larned’s History of
Windham County, in which I found a great deal of interesting matter,
and I shall look forward to the history of the town with eager antici-
pation.
You will see at once why the enclosure of your letter must go back,
and appreciate the sentiment which would not allow me to send it to
stare you in the face in this note.”

the author’s name—Whatever information you can give me will be very

Yrs truly
W. Hone.”
With the following manuscript copy regarding the same,—
“Knox’s ‘Spirit of Despotism.’
In 1810 Mr. Rutt bought a copy of this work at a bookstall. It is
without publisher’s name, printed in 1795. Mr. Hone having seen it,
set about finding another, & after much trouble succeeded, & published
a reprint therefrom. Mr. Thos. Law, brother of Lord Ellenborough, had
a third copy which he took to America & published an Edition there.
From some circumstances Mr. Hone was led to conclude that Dr Vicesimus
Knox was the author, & the doctor owned to him that he was so, &
informed him (first exacting a promise that it should not be made
public until after his death) that the M.S. was given to his usual pub-
lisher the late Mr Dilly, & by him sent to the late Mr Strahan for
printing. Just as the work had gone through the press Mr Strahan
took fright at some of its anti-courtly passages, & alarmed Mr Dilly,
& and neither would venture his name to it. Under these circumstances
Dr Knox, being unwilling that his book should steal into the world with-
out a printer or publisher’s name, destroyed all the impression—1008
copies—saving four only, one of which he kept in his own library, the
second came into the possession of Mr Law, & the third & fourth were
afterwards picked up by Mr Rutt & Mr Hone.” ;

AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL LETTER, WRITTEN WHILE JEFFERSON WAS PRESI-
DENT, AND RELATING TO THE MOVEMENTS OF THE BRITISH FLEET AND THEIR
PROBABLE INTENTIONS.— »
a - Should the British squadron leave their station in Hampton
road we might then retire from this place, which will soon begin to
experience the diseases of the season, the retirement of the squadron
from James river would enable us to join the eight gunboats now ar
Norfolk, 4 which are at Hampton, & 4 in Mockjack bay, these once
brought together might pick up all the tenders & small vessels, oblige
the squadron to keep together, and effectually protect the Chesapeake,

é Sibylle frigates in New York we shall have in the course of a month
32 gunboats; & probably effectual batteries along the beach of the
city. I inclose you a Norfolk paper of the 8th, we do not know how
Douglass has received the Proclamation. Erskine is of opinion they
are unauthorised in their proceedings, if so, their government cannot
hesitate about that ample satisfaction which the case demands but be
this ever so ample, my opinion is that we ought not to suffer another
armed vessel of any nation to enter our waters, they are now in the
constant habit of bringing vessels to as freely in our waters as out of
them, & of firing at them, so that our citizens can no longer pass with
safety to their lives, this is a state of things never again to be borne,
but as it is possible their pride may be stronger than their justice, we are
making every preperation for war which the interval between us & that
will permit. I suppose our fate will depend on the successes or reverses
of Buonaparte, it is hard to be obliged to wish successes so little con-
sonant with our principles. . .”

“Hon James H. Orne
My dear Sir:
How true it is, that we never know what a day even an hour may
bring forth—6 hours after I wrote you my note of thanks yesterday
morning, I found myself sick & weary hearted, en route to Marienbad,
It happened thus—I had accompanied my young son into Frankfurt,
from his country school—near the latter place—also to receive some
instruction from my physician, when a London paper was handed me,
giving me the harassing intelligence—that the Senate Com—had decided
adversely—After my expectations being so highly raised by the House,
you can imagine perhaps in a measure my tired feelings—As wusual—the
immensely magnified amount of my means was given as an apology—
The false & greatly exaggerated statement—passes understanding. It is
a ‘wicked & cruel invention of the enemy.’ May Our Heavenly Father,
forgive all such, who would by this means endeavor to injure & defraud
the widow & orphans of the great & good man, who loved and served
his country so well. The news overcame me, in my weak state of health
—A dear & kind German lady friend urged me to go immediately to the
baths prescribed for me so urgently by my physician—this latter person
was sent for my by her—my little baggage was soon packed they drove
with me to the depot—placed me in under the care of some very genteel
& kind Germans (lady & gentleman strangers to me who were coming
as far as this place—Here I am this morning sick & miserable Unat-
tended by a servant either—for you may well believe, dear Mr. Orne—
in my shattered health—if I hade one half of the means attributed to
me—I should never be without one—May all those be forgiven who
would so attempt to injure me. Will the Senate allow it to remain
thus ?—There are too many noble men in that body—to leave me longer
in the very sad state, I find myself. I wish very much you would see
a letter my good son Robert, wrote Sen—Trumbull in reply to one—
he—Mr. T. addressed him. You will there find—some of the reasons
why my means are insufficient for me to live comfortably—as the widow
of the very plainest citizen—I should be unable to do so After the death
of my dearly beloved husband—just so soon—as my shocked senses—
could be regained—I gave directions to my son & every one to collect

together every bill large & small—and living as we necessarily had to—
my husband not being rich—you may well believe they were numerous—
I paid them all & they were deducted from any thing—that was coming
to me—all contributions—were thus used up—as well as much else—It
was our pride to have it said that there were no debts against the estate
—but I can assure you—in perfect truth that many dinnerless days, have
fallen to my portion, in consequence of all this—Lodging in high & mean
apartments—where formerly I would not have placed a favorite ser-
vant, I can say no more---only the picture is not as dark as the reality
has been—Forgive this scrawl & the tear stained paper—Please write &
direct to care Phillip, Nicoll, Schnil as usual—
With many apologies for giving you an exact statement of every
thing, I remain,
Most respectfully yours
May LINCOLN.”

An important and exceedingly interesting letter in which Nelson
sets forth, at some length, his fears of the islanders of Malta going over
to the French, and strongly urges his plan for securing their allegiance
to the English Sovereign. Mentioning, among others, General Acton,
General H. E. Fox, and Col. Graham.
“T am in desperation about Malta. We shall lose it, I am afraid, past
all redemption. . . If Ball can hardly keep the inhabitants in hope of
relief by the 500 men landed from our ships, what must be expected when
400 of them and 4 sail of the line will be withdrawn, and if the islanders
are forced again to join the French we may not find even landing a very
easy task, much less to get again our present advantageous position. I
therefore entreat for the honour of our King . . . that the garrison of —
Messina may be ordered to hold post in Malta until a sufficient force
can be collected to attack it. . . . this is a great and important moment,
and the only thing to be considered is His Majesty’s service and not to
stand still for an instant. . . . May God direct your councils for the
honour of our King and his allies and to the destruction of the French.

An unusually interesting letter, recommending his Military Secretary,
Col. Hervey, as a proper person to marry Mrs. Caton’s daughter,—
iy “Dear Madam You will perhaps be surprised at receiving a letter from
1\ a person entirely unknown to you. and IT can justify the liberty which
I take in writing to you only by vertuy of the motive which urges me to
it. Mrs. Paterson will inform you by this occasion that my Military
Secretary and Aid de Camp Colonel Hervey has made @ proposal of
Marriage to your youngest Daughter, and I conceive that it may be
satisfactory to you to receive from myself some account of this Person,
before you decide whether you will confide to him your daughter’s hap-
piness at such a distance as she will probably pass her life from yourself.
I have known Colonel Hervey for many years; and he has served with -
me since the year 1809; and I have never known or heard any thing
of him but what was good. He is highly respected & beloved by the
World & those who know him; and I must say that I dowt know a
better Man one of more easy temper, or better calculated to make the
person happy who should consent to pass her life with him. During the
War in the Peninsula his Duiy kept him generally at a distance from me,
but I had such a regard for him, and his Company was so agreeable to
me that he passed much of his time with me; and I had ample oppor-
tunities of knowing him; and when my Military Secretary Lord Fitz Roy
was disabled in the Battle of Waterloo I requested Colonel Hervey to
take his cituation; notwithstanding that he also had been disabled by
the loss of his Right Arm on a former occasion. I cannot give you a
stronger proof of my confidence in him, nor of my personal Regard for
him; and I repeat that in the whole couse of my acquaintance and inter-
course with him, I have never known any thing of him but what was
DOO sie a.
Believe me Dear Madam Your faithful & obedient Servant Wellington.”

140. CruIksHANK (GkEoRGE). Bank Restriction Note, 1818, with orIGINAL

tached on Whatman paper, and matted, the whole bound in an
oblong folio volume of full light blue levant morocco, lettered on
side, gilt edges, BY RIVIERE. London, 1818
OF THE GREATEST RARITY.
About 1817 or 1818, the 1 pound notes of the Bank of England were
0 put in circulation. They were frequently forged, and the penalty for
nb passing one was Death.
Cruikshank saw a number of human beings hanging on the Gibbet
opposite Newgate Prison, and two were women—hung for passing these
notes. This had such an effect on him that he went home, and in ten
minutes, he had designed the BANK RESTRICTION Note, “Nort TO BE IMI-
TATED.” The note being exhibited at one of the Print Shops, it drew such
a crowd that the police had to be called to disperse it.
The Bank Directors held a meeting upon the subject, and decided to
have no more one pound notes issued; and so there was no more hang-
ing for passing these notes. Eventually, Sir Robert Peel, had passed
in Parliament, a bill by which there was to be no more minor offences
punished by death, and so by this little drawing, Cruikshank claims to
have saved many lives.

CONDITION, WITH ALL THH ADVERTISEMENTS. GENERALLY CONSIDERED TO BE
THE FINEST KNOWN COPY, AND FROM WHICH THE COLLATION IN DOUGLAS’S
BIBLIOGRAPHY OF GEORGE CRUIKSHANK WAS MADE.
Douglas in describing it says:
“This book in boards, in the first state and in fine condition is per-
haps the most valuable item in a Cruikshank collection. Having the
imprimatur of Mr. Ruskin caused attention to be directed to it. The
etchings are charming. The first volume in pictorial boards, was pub-
lished in November or December, 1822, as a Christmas Book, with
the date of the next year, 1823, in advance, on the etched title .
“Some early copies of the first edition are found with the etched title
without the two dots over the letter @ in Marchen. . . . The story of
the Travelling Musicians has: that title only, in the first edition, both
at the commencement of the story at page 9, and at the head of the
pages which follow. . . . Page 218 has a list of the plates which is
absent in the second edition, the page being blank.
Baldwyn’s advertisement says “On the First of November was pub-
lished ..4.22
The second volume has “New Works . . . Published by J. Robins and
Co. . . .” Six leaves at beginning (Douglas says this only appears in
early copies) and an advertisement of Longman’s, one leaf at end.

A REMARKABLY FINE AND ABSOLUTELY PERFECT SET, EVEN MORE SO THAN
IS RECORDED BY CAPTAIN DOUGLAS IN HIS ELABORATE COLLATION.
The text, edited by Mayhew, was contributed to by a host of humorous
talent, including Thackeray who enriched the issues of 1839 and 1840 with
two of the best of his minor writings ‘‘The Fatal Boots,” and “Barber
Cox’s Diary,’ the 24 etchings for which ‘year are solely devoted
to illustrating those two Miscellanies.

supply of advertisement leaves, except in one volume, that of 1848;
which has i6pp. of an advertisement sheet at the back, of which Capt.
Douglas does not seem to have known.

AUTOGRAPH PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR.
This sketch was published in London in 1878 the year of Cruik-
shank’s death. He was therefore over 85 years of age.
The amount of Cruikshank’s work is almost inconceivable. Some idea
of the magnitude of his labors may be formed from Bill & Daldy’s
Catalogue in which mention is made of 5080 separate productions; this
list published in 1870 does not of course contain his excellent work
issued later in life.
When Cruikshank was in his prime, copper was the only material used
for etching.

This book, entirely unknown to any of the collectors or bibliographers
of Cruikshank, is not in the British Museum.
Inserted on the inside of front cover is a card of George Cruikshank
and on the fly-leaf, a signature of the artist.
Accompanying the volume is a letter from the British Museum to
the former owner of the book, in which the expert says that the British
Museum has no copy, but that the work can be attributed to either
George or Robert. On comparison with works of both these artists, we
are of the opinion that both George and Robert worked on the same.

leather label on side.
A CRUIKSHANK COLLECTION OF CARICATURES OF IMPORTANCE AND VALUE,
including A NUMBER OF NAPOLEONIC INTEREST.
The collection comprises some of his best and rarest humorous and
satirical productions. Included are 17 of the folding illustrations of
that rare and much esteemed periodical ‘‘The Scourge;” the entire series
of his illustrations to the “Satirist,” and both plates of the excessively
rare and short-lived continuation, ‘‘The Tripod.” The remaining 32
plates have been chosen not only for excellence of impression and col-
oring, but as affording a wide view of the wonderful genius of the artist’s
work, during its early vigor and originality.
ALL THE PLATES (With two exceptions) ARE IN FIRST STATE, the excep-
tions being,—
“Jealousy,” issued by Thos. McLean, Aug. 1, 1835. (First Issue is Knight,

This set comprises all but Volume 25 of the item sold in the Borden
Sale under item No. 171. Regarding Vol. 25 of this collection see heading
to following item,—No. 249.
Mr. Gough was a frequent visitor at the home of George Cruikshank,
both being intensely interested in the subject of temperance, Gough as
a lecturer and Cruikshank as an advocate and illustrator of the evils.
attendant on drink. Under these conditions, Gough had a unique oppor-
tunity to secure specimens of the work of his friend, and to receive the
artist’s personal attention and supervision in forming the collection.

AUTOGRAPH LETTERS BY GEORGE CRUIKSHANK
CRUIKSHANK—GouGH CORRESPONDENCE, comprising those letters sent by
Cruikshank to John Bartholomew Gough, the great temperance lec-
turer of America, which were formerly in the latter’s Wortp RE-
NOWNED collection, and which formed part of Vol. 25 of Number
171 in the Borden Catalogue.
These letters comprise without doubt the most important collection
of its kind ever offered at public sale in America. They are all of
unusual length, and contain a vast amount of interesting and important
information relative to the artist’s works, especially his famous painting,
“Worship of Bacchus; also notices of his work for the temperance cause
} A in England, and his friend’s labors for the same in America, and the
latter’s endeavors regarding a “Testimonial” to Cruikshank by his friends
in America.
The American interest is of unusual importance; but few letters by
Cruikshank, outside the present collection, are extant, which reveal to
so great an extent his own sentiments regarding his “Brothers” in Amer-
ica, and affairs connected with his own private life.
Regarding the artist’s painting,—“Worship of Bacchus,” which is men-

tioned very freely throughout the letters, the Dictionary of National
Biography states,—‘But his magnum opus in one sense, for it measures
7 feet 8 inches high by 13 feet 3 inches wide, is the huge cartoon crowded
with groups and figures which he produced in 1862. . . . This, a work of
inexhaustible detail and invention. . . . was intended to be his formal
and final protest against intemperance. The original oil painting is in
the National Gallery.”
It has been thought advisable on account of the great importance of
the contents of these letters to quote in full, rather than to give garbled
extracts of the same.

“My Dear Gough—
. . Having now something particular to write about I have been
going to write a long letter to you—for the last fortnight—but I now
feel that if I wait until I can find time to write a long letter—I shall
not write atall so here goes—for a short one—and the long and the short
of the matter is this, my big picture of “the Worship of Bacchus”—13
ft. 4. by 7 ft. 8. has been for the last two years traveling about in this
country and Tweedie suggest that it should now be sent on its travels
abroad—and with respect to this I want your advice and assistance.
A very respectable man of the name of Mace—has been exhibiting €
explaining the picture—but I do not know whether he would like to
travel to America with it—and if he declines to do so—could you
take charge of it and arrange with some that you could depend upon—
is exhibit and explain it—and also to sell the Prints—in the United
tates?
I know that I need only add that the exhibition of the picture & the
sale of the prints are for my benefit, to ensure your kind advice and
assistance—for yours very truly
GEORGE CRUIKSHANK.”’

“My dear friend J. B. Gough.
One reason for my not replying to uour letter was, that I have been
told from time to time, that you were coming over to your native land
again—and another reason was, because—month after month—
we have been trying to get my large picture of “the Worship of
Bacchus” over to America—but without success-—so that what with
the heavy ‘duty’—the ‘Insurance’ & the difficulty of getting any one, to
take charge of the picture & the prints-—my picture of ‘The Worship of
Bacchus’ will never be exhibited in the ‘United States’—this I am sorry for
—and I know you will be sorry to know that, in a pecuniary point of view
—the exhibition of the engravings has been a failure in this country—and
you will also be sorry to know, that in consequence of the ‘Monetary Panic’
in this country—and the failure of some of our wealthy Temperance friends
—about £2000. debt has been thrown upon my shoulders! poor Sam-l
Gurney lost about a million & a half of money—! all his ‘Goods &
Chattles’. were sold by auction—and as he had my drawing of this
‘Worship of Bacchus’—(Which you will remember seeing at my house)
I was obliged to go & bring this drawing back—as the ‘copyright’ went
with the drawing. I shall always rejoice that I have been a stern advo-
cate of the Temperance cause—but it is a curious fact that my taking
up this cause—has cost me in one way & another—in about 22 years
£10,000—! Hverything I have published upon this question has been a
loss—and people that used to employ me as an artist ceased to do so—
as they supposed all my talent was gone—because I abstained from
Wine—Beer Spirits € Tobacco! ! ! !—I am going to publish some of these
facts—é& you shall have a copy of the work when ready and now my
dear friend I am going to ask you a favor—In the first place I am
happy to say. my dear wife & I, have a small independence—which
nothing can alter whilst we are alive—but it so happens that to secure
a property worth £2000. 1 require just at this moment about 5 or 6
hundred pounds—for 12 or 18 months—and my reason for asking you
if you could do me the great favor of lending me that sum for about that
time, is because all my friends have been—by the ‘Panic’—either entirely
ruined, or so crippled, that they hardly know how to get on—England
never was in such a state as she is at present and all through heedless
speculations or unprincipaled—rascality—one of my friends who would
have lent me what I want—in a minute—had £15000 a year—é& now
he has not one farthing! and he & his wife go & stay with one friend and
then with another,—or they would have to go to the Parish.
I know my dear boy your sincere friendship towards me & that you will
lend me this help if you can—é if you should send the whole or a part
over to me I will give you my note of hand to hold for a given time—
and I know that you will rely upon my honor for the amount to be
returned in due course—I was much pleased with the part of your
letter which has been published in ‘The Record’—It is a first rate
policy not to have all Teetotal Lectures—é& I feel convinced that you
will serve the cause greatly by this means for you will get people to come
& hear you, upon other subjects, that would not attend anything Tee-
total & with your wonderful power of words you may put a word in—
that these anti teetotal people—will never forget or get rid of. My Wife
joins with me in the Kindest remembrances to your wife, & yourself and
trusting that you are both in good health—as I am glad say we both are—
I am my dear friend yours very, very truly
May God bless you both.

I am not surprised at the kind & brotherly feeling expressed & proved,

most unexpected, but extremely Kind proposal of a testimonial—
I knew that my name was Known in America—but I had no idea
that there existed in the ‘United States’ such a friendly feeling towards
the old artist--which feeling however I very highly estimate—If this
kind favor should be conferred, I beg to suggest that it be as a Tes-

Pencil—Pen & voice—for upwards of sixty years—being now in my 80th
year—and working as hard as ever in the great & good cause of Total
abstinence—and I am glad to tell you that those in this country who
take strong drink, are beginning to think—and are going to try to
stop drunkenness by altering the Licensing System—many of our worthy
Bishops are now working in that direction—and I only wish they could
hear some of your powerful arguments—and to point out to them the
right road—

Dear Friend & Brother—
To use the old English style of letter writing—‘This comes hoping
to find’—you and your dear wife, both quite well, as I am happy to say
that my dear wife & I are—although we have had very trying weather
here, almost constant Rain—then colds, then warm, more like a wet

A, ¢ with a very stormy cold wind & a heavy fall of snow, so much so, that
H yesterday—our Road was quite impassable for either Omnibus or Tram-
way car,—and as to to your part of the world I was indeed distressed
to read the sad effects of the severe frost—sad—sad indeed—
I am working as hard as ever in the good cause—generally presiding—
é& sometimes as as Speaker—and your name as the great leader is con-
stantly being brought forward, and you will be interested to know that
there is a young man, of the name of Noble—who learns your orations
by heart and repeats them with great success I was asked to preside
at one of these Repetitions—but being engaged on that evening I shall
have to do so upon another occasion—He was at a meeting one evg. where
I was presiding & in consequence of some remarks that I made agt
smoking—he then & there disclosed that he and a noble young man he
is—would leave it off & by doing so he said his wife would be highly
pleased.
I am publishing two photo prints—one the ‘First appearance of W.
Shakespeare on the stage of the Globe’, & the other entitled ‘Mothers
Love-—é& I want you to tell me if I present a copy of each to you, if I
had better send them direct to your residence, or through the hands of
Bouton the Bookseller to whom I am going to send some for him to
sell, to our American Brothers—
By this time you of course have heard of that dreadful affair of the
Spanish steamer causing the loss of so many lives im the English ship
the ‘Northfleet’—I believe that intoxicating liquor was the cause of
this for we find here that Spanish sailors get drunk—as well as the
sailors of other nations—
I feel my dear friend as if I could go on writing to you for hours
but as it is now nearly half past one in the morning I must wish you
good night—and in doing so give united best wishes & regards of my

any date is given, it is supposed to be a recent matter, whereas it oc-

but as this is not the case. I shall esteem it a favour if you will allow
me to inform the public through the mediwm of your paper, that previous
to the Testimonial being started, a ‘party’ who proposed to establish an
insurance society for the working classes—and who induced me to join
in the prospect, committed a Forgery—by which I lost, what was to
me a considerable sum of money—and from that time up to the present,
in some efforts to serve my fellow creatures I have sustained losses
amounting to upwards of £38000—so that unfortunately for me the
balance is on the wrong side—é it will therefore be a long time before
the pensions will cover my losses. I however take this opportunity of
giving my heartfelt thanks to all my friends for their kind efforts in
favour of Sir your Obt Servt

“Dear John B. Gough
Friend and Brother
The first words I have to write, are to express a sincere hope that
you and your dear. good wife, are in the enjoyment of good health, which
I am happy to say my dear good wife is blessed with—I am myself a
wonderful example of good health, generally, but lately I have had an
attack of Influenza, a very strange sort of affection from which a large
number of people have been suffering here and supposed to have been
produced by most extraordinary changes in the weather—The symptoms
are occasional depression—Three of my medical friends have suffered

severely from it—and although I have not been able to go on with
my work in my usual constant & regular way, yet it has not Kept me
im doors for an hour, & I have attended the meetings (the Teetotal meet-
ings) as usual.
And now my dear Friend, sorry am I to trouble you with my own
affairs—but you kindly promised to try & get some of American
Teetotal Brothers to do something for me—and I have been most an-
xiously waiting in expectation of hearing from you upon the subject—
and such is my state of mind at this moment, that if it be possible to let
me know if any thing has been done in this matter, by return of Post,
it will indeed be a great favour—
I had thought that long before this I should have the pleasure to
send you a couple of Prints—taken from two pictures of mine but the
‘Autographe compy’—or permanent photographers have sadly disap-
pointed me for after waiting for two years they have failed to produce
what was required & I have therefore to go elsewhere—é& I hope in
another month or two to send the prints—which I very much wish you
to see & for a most particular reason.
Once more dear friend trusting that you and your dear wife are
both well & with our united & Kindest regards I am your truly
GEO. CRUIKSHANK.”
“f forgot to tell you that I seem to be entirely recovering from that
attack of Influenza & with the blessing of the Almighty regaining my
usual & remarkable strength but it is curious that all the time I
have had it every one has said how well I looked—
Write to me soon about your hands—é& I know you will give me your
helping hand as soon as it is possible—In a short time I shall write out
the full explanation about Mr. Bacchus.”

Me,
“My Dear & worthy Friend,
John B. Gough—
I am glad to find that the health of your dear wife is better, &
trust that she may soon get well—also glad to know that you are well,
but regret that you should have that affection in the hands, and in the
hope of being able to be of some service to you, I suggest that you
write out a clear statement of the case,—which I will hand to my friend
Hrasmus Wilson—who is Known as the first Medical man in ‘Europe’
in all such cases—and he may perhaps prescribe something that will
effect a cure.
My wife & I were staying at Margate for a week—where I got your
Kind letter of the 19th inst. whilst there I met, by chance—an Amer-
ican Genln who is an Engineer & total abstainer—dé who said he knew
you—so we had a long chat about ‘J. B. Gough’—his name is ‘Martin
Benson’ —and last Sunday evening at a friends house I met another
native of the United States, and had a chat with him, about you & your
lectures—many of which he had listened to with interest. He is a minister
of the Gospel—é a thorough going ‘total abstainer’—his name is the
Rev. Edwin C. Sweetser—of New York.—
With respect to these terrible fires in the States, it really seems to me
as if it were the work of some insane incendiary—we have many fires
in London—but we have ‘party walls’ which separate each house—é&
the fires do not often spread beyond the premises where the fire began—
but some times lives are lost & this is caused by the drink—in almost
every instance—& by fellows throwing their burning matches about
after lighting their pipes & womens dresses are often set on fire in this
way—dé one poor woman was very nearly burnt to death the other day
near our house by a match thrown down in this careless manner.

I had thought that before this I should have been able to send you
copies of some prints which I had hoped would have been produced by
a new style of photography—but after a great deal of labour & loss of
time & money—for about 4 years the matter turns out to be an entire
failure This is a sad disappointment—but I am sorry to tell you not
the only one—for after going on with a work for nearly two years a
sudden dissolution of partnership of the publishers put a stop to that.
I now conclude with sending the united best wishes & regards of my
dear wife & myself to you & your deaf wife & as I hope to do for many
day, sign myself yours truly
GEO. CRUIKSHANK.”

“Dear Friend & Brother
J. B. Gough—
This comes hoping to find you & your dear wife in good health—
as I may say, it leaves my good wife & I at present.
IT am at the request of some friends, Republishing some of my early
works, the first one being ‘Phrenological Illustrations’ done nearly 50
years back—eé a copy of which I have asked Mr. Bouton to forward to
you—
IT am sending some copies to him to see if he can sell them to our
American Brothers.— : :
I do not wish to put you to the trouble of writing—but never the
less, I should be glad to have even a line from you—eé& know from you,
how the cause is progressing in the United States. we are here cer-
tainly making progress—but slowly—the fact is we want a J. B. Gough,
but much as I should like to see him & his ‘better half’? I would not on
any account have him run the risk & have all the trouble of crossing the
Atlantic again.
So my God bless you both in your happy settled Home and with every
wish for the health & happiness of you both & with our united & kindest
regards I am dear friend yours truly : . :

“P. S. With respect to disappointments it really seems to be my
fate to. meet with them constantly, for it so happens, that for. four
years, I have been working hard & preparing some works to be published
in Photography—but after many attempts the party who had them in
hand, failed altogether in the process! so there is all my time and money
gone !—
I had expected also to have had the pleasure of hearing from you
but when that Panic occurred I saw at once that there was not any
chance of your being able to carry out what you suggested—so I compared
myself to.a poor Boatman whose boat had been knocked about a good
deal, & wanted repairing—and a friend on the other side of a river had
promised to get him some brass nails—so the boatman Kept on doing
the best he could to get his craft in good sailing order—but anxiously
looking all the while across the River for his friend whose boat he
expected to see coming across every day & when he saw it in the distance
a most violent storm arose & he saw his friends boat stuck fast on a
Sand Bank, and you may imagine how the poor boatman & his friend
also were disappointed
I do hope that your hands are better. but if not, do pray send me

“Dear John B. Gough—
Friend & Brother,
When Mr. Bouton, of New York, was over here lately, I was indeed
' glad to hear from him, that you had quite recovered from your late
illness, and I trust that you & your dear wife are both quite well, as I
am happy to say my dear wife & I are—
I suppose you have heard of poor Tweedie being now most seriously
ill He is suffering from cancer in the upper and middle part of the
thigh, & which for a long long time hé did not attend to, or have any
advice upon, until it was too late to perform an operation which might
7, have saved his life—but it has now extended up past the groin—and
co there is now no hope—in fact, he is poor fellow sinking fast—
4) Ever since I discovered that I was to be such a serious loser by the
ye bad management of John Taylor & Tweedie—in ‘The worship of Bacchus’
affair and in consequence. of the way they both treated me I have never
spoken to either of them—but finding that my old & esteemed friend
Tweedie was in a dangerous state, of course I forgave him—and constantly
called in the Strand to enquire about his health, & in case an operation
was to be performed recommended a first class man to assist, and I
fully expected that all this would have been reported to Mr. Tweedie &
that he would have desired to see me, but as I was not invited to eall,
and as I found he was on his death bed—I determined to go & see him
if he wished for the interview so I went to his house the day before
yesterday, & he was glad to see me and wished that I had called before
—I gave him my hand & my best wishes but it was a sad meeting & a
sad parting—poor fellow! his voice is quite gone & he can only whisper.
Mrs. Tweedie had to stoop down to the pillow to hear his whisper—

which she conveyed to me—The interview was short—and I left him
—_with a sad heart—perhaps never to see him alive again—
Poor dear Mrs. Tweedie and her two daughters are nursing him with
the greatest care & attention; but it is a sad sad thing for his dear
good wife & his dear children.
My wife joins with me in Kindest regards to your wife & yourself
and hoping soon to hear from you I am yours truly

“Dear Friend John B. Gough—
When I look at the date of your letter & find it to be ‘Nov 27, 1874’— —
I can hardly believe that I have delayed writing an answer for so long a
time—but the fact is, we have had here a most severe & trying winter,
and many of our friends have not only been suffering from illness, but
many of our most intimate & dearest friends have passed away—these
sad events & having had to work hard in.the great cause by attending
& presiding at meetings & having to attend to other peoples affairs,
as well as my own, has so occupied my time, that I have hardly had a
minute to myself, but now having the opportunity, the first thing I
do is to express the great delight of my dear wife & myself to find
that your dear wife is restored to health & that you are quite well—
as I am happy to say, my wife & I are—we have been so far in the
fashion of the season, as to have a little ‘cold’ now & then—but I am °
indeed thankful to say that we have never been laid up for a day.
With respect to the proposed Testimonial from our American Brothers
—I should have felt it a very great compliment, but I can well under-
stand the difficulty of carrying out such an object—particularly from
what you state—so do not my dear friend give yourself & your friends
any more trouble about the matter—had it been a general affair I would
have had a printed form of thanks to send to each subscriber but I
can only now beg of you when you see those Kind friends who have
subscribed to give them my best thanks—and I shall keep the list of
their names as a treasure.
When that dreadful fire took place I at once saw that it was one
of those unfortunate events that called for the Sympathy and as-
sistance of the Nation, & of course never expected that a people however
Kind generous could spare any thing the Testimonial.
In our drawing room, there is an arm chair—always near the window—
and in which chair you sat with your dear wife by your side—when we
jirst had the pleasure of seeing you both and I tell visitors (pointing to
theses pieces of furniture) ‘That is J. B. Gough’s chair & that is Mrs.
Gough's’ where we shall be pleased indeed to see you both seated again—
and make our house your home.—
With respect to poor Tweedie—he behaved in an extraordinary manner
towards—he & John Taylor causing a most serious loss—but findg that
he was dying I of course forgave him & went & saw him on his death
bed, & with which visit, poor fellow, he was much pleased—He was a
man so much respected that people would not believe what I complained
of but now that he is gone it turns out that I am not the only one who
has had losses & some think that he could have hardly been in his
right timd to have.acted as he did—one of his best friends lent him
about £2000 which you may be said is all gone—for the debts amount
to £13,000 ¢& there is only tenpence in the pound to meet them. This
ended all very sad—and pains me exceedingly when I think of the poor
widow & the children—
My wife unites with me in best wishes & regards to your dear wife

& yourself and as she attends to all matters about proofs and sketches—
she desires me to say that she will attend to your wishes after the
10th of March—and now trusting with the Ddlessing of the Almighty
we may all enjoy health & a long life I am dear friend yours truly
GEO. CRUIKSHANK.”
“P. S. In the work I am preparing for publication—(but which will
° not be ready wntil the end of the year) I shall be able to prove that
L have lost about 12 or 14 Thousand pounds by being a Teetotaller— !—but
I hope to get over that in time—but these loses with others too long
to explain have so crippled me that I am compelled to ask friends to
assist me—and as I suppose those dreadful & most destructive fires in the
states have prevented you from carrying out your kind intention towards
me—I venture to ask if you can help me with a loan—of a hundred or
two—which I would undertake to return at the end of this year—What
you have done already was most important & for which I cannot suf-
ficiently thank you—An early answer will oblige as I am in a regular
fix just now.”

Formerly many Cruikshank experts considered the work in these
plates to be partly done by GrorGE CRUIKSHANK.
The above is the famous Edward Truman set, and has an association
value of interest, as follows,—
Truman was a personal friend of the artist, and deciding to settle
the question brought the plates to him, the result being, that on the first
plate of the volume, GEORGE CRUIKSHANK has written the words “Nor

a New Volume of The New Bon-Ton Magazine,” etc. The slip, dated
May, 1819, regarding the indisposition of one of the artists, does not
appear.
The work is entirely anonymous, both author and illustrator (or illus-
trators), not being definitely known. Mr. Jaggard in his Index to
Book-Prices Current, gives Isaac Robert Cruikshank as the illustrator,
and William Combe, as the author. Some collectors and experts declare
that the plates are by THomaAsS ROWLANDSON, and assert this with such
certainty that they bind the book, and on the back have printed the
words “Illustrated by T. Rowlandson.”
After careful comparison of the work of the two artists,—Robert
Cruikshank and Thomas Rowlandson, we are of the opinion that Mr.
Jaggard is right in his contention that the illustrator is Robert Cruik-
shank, the contention being based on the work executed by Cruikshank
for Egan’s “Finish to Life in London,” although this work was not
published until ten years later (1830). Undoubtedly however Rowlandson
influence is seen in the reproduction of the portraits of the familiar
it Byniaa.”
That more than one artist illustrated the work is evidenced by the
fact that there was issued by the publisher a slip announcing the indispo-
sition of one of the artists.

One of the best works to describe in detail this period of London life,
and the fashionable places of resort, with portraits of many of the more
notorious characters. The author, a species of blackmailer, insinuated
many things against prominent characters of the time; among those
thus slandered were George IV, the Countess of Conyngham, Charles
Kemble, Macready, Madame Vestris, Colonel Berkeley, and others.

First Editions of Charles Dickens, after a careful examination of the
copy, penned the late Mr. Samuel Henry Austin the following autograph
letter, which accompanies the copy.
“July 31st, 1914.”
“Mr. S. H. Austin,
Philadelphia, Pa.
Dear Sir:
It was my privilege some time since to carefully examine the Douglas
Copy of “Pickwick” which, I am informed, is at present in your pos-
session. Without any desire of obtruding any superior knowledge of
the book in question, I wish to say that it is the finest and most perfect
copy of an original issue it has ever been my fortune to handle, as it is
also the best copy I have ever heard of.
In attempting to describe a complete first issue of “Pickwick” im
my Bibliography, I had recourse to the Lapham Copy, and a copy owned
by a noted Collector in Glasgow. In my opinion, the Douglas copy far
excels either in brilliancy and “points.” The absence of the figure “17”
in the Albemarle street address in Part IV surely stamps it as an earlier
issue than the two I have mentioned. In addition, there are other ad-
vertisements which are unknown in the copies to which I have alluded.
After an investigation, I am forced to revise my description of Part
I as it relates to the plates. I am satisfied that the original plates bore
signatures and that these hairlines wore off as the printing proceeded.
It was the later issues upon which the error was based that the plates
were unsigned. p
In short, I am free to say that the Douglas copy is unmatched in the
world so far as I know.
Trusting that you will understand the spirit which prompts this letter,
I beg leave to remain,
Very sincerely
JOHN C. ECKEL.”
THE FOLLOWING “POINTS” REGARDING WRAPPERS AND ADVERTISEMENTS,
DESCRIBE THE COPY:
PART I. has the excessively rare advertisement of “New Works published
by Chapman & Hall” (4 leaves), the first in the list being “The Gar-
land of Love,” the last “The Library of Fiction;” the reverse of the
pace wrapper announces the publication of No. 1 of “The Library of
iction.”
PART II. has the rare printed “Address” announcing the death of
Seymour. The outside back cover advertises No. II of “The Library
of Fiction.” .
PART III. has on the wrapper, “With illustrations by R. W. Buss.”
Inside the front wrapper is an advertisement (4pp.) advertising
“Sunday under Three Heads.” Following the two plates is the “Ad-
dress” announcing the engagement of Buss as illustrator. After the
letterpress is the advertisement of two leaves headed “The Toilet,”
advertising Rowland & Sons’ Toilet Preparations, and of which only
one other copy is known. Outside back wrapper advertises No. III.
of “The Library of Fiction.”
PART IV. The inside of the front and back wrappers gives a list of
new works published by Chapman & Hall, “Sunday under Three
Heads” being the first; “The Pickwick Advertiser” (2 leaves) ; out-
side of back wrapper advertising “The Library of Fiction” to be
continued monthly, but not giving the particular number of same.
PART V. has four leaves of advertisements, and also the very rare
folded advertisement of Rowland’s Preparations, with a woodcut
of a black woman. Outside back wrapper advertises No. V. of “The
Library of Fiction.”

“Collectors under whose observations have come copies with the list
of illustrations (there is no list in the present copy following the title-
page) will be justified in a protest against the elimination of this feature
from the collation. This was done because experts now agree that the
list was an interpolation on the part of Dickens suggested by the utter
absence of Cruikshank’s name on any part of the book. . . . With and
without the list both are genuine first issues.”—JOHN C. ECKEL. ;

ADDITIONAL INTEREST ATTACHES TO THIS COPY, AS IT IS ACCOMPANIED BY
THE EXCESSIVELY RARE “PROCLAMATION,” STATING: ‘Whereas we are the
only true and lawful ‘Boz.’ And Whereas it hath been reported to us,
who are commencing a New Work, to be called—The Life and Adventures
of Nicholas Nichleby, That some dishonest dullards, resident in the by-
streets and cellars of this town. impose upon the unwary and credulous
by producing cheap and wretched imitations of our delectable Works.
. This is to give Notice. Firstly, To Pirates, . . . Secondly, To the
Public, . . . Thirdly, To the Potentates of Paternoster-Row,” ete.
Signed “Boz,” pp. 4.
The “Proclamation” has a twofold purpose; ie, to advertise “Nicho-
las Nickelby ;” and to enter a protest and warning to the literary pirates,
who jealous of the success of Dickens wrote numerous articles, pub-
lishing them under similar names, with the intent to deceive the Public
into believing that they were written by Boz.

important. On it, is an advertisement of “written Caricatures” by John

“Talking of puns :-—
‘Why do they not give us quail for dinner, as usual?’ demanded Count
Fessis, the other day,..of H——-, the classicist and sportsman.
‘Because at this season,’ replied H——, who was dozing, ‘qaulis sopor
fessis. (Quail is so poor, Fessis).”

“An infinity of error makes its way into our Philosophy, through Man’s
habit of considering himself a citizen of a world solely—of an individual
planet—instead of at least occasionally contemplating his position as cos-
mopolite proper—as a denizen of the Universe.”
33.
“The Carlyle-ists should adopt, as a motto, the inscription on the old
bell from whose metal was cast the Great Tom, of Oxford:— In Thomae
laude resono ‘Bim! Bom? ‘sine fraude’v—and ‘Bim! Bom, in such
case, would be a marvellous “echo of sound to sense.”

1810, on an average of four monthly, some changes were made from
the plan originally designed by the publishers, Ackermann.
The interiors and structural artistic work is done by the famous
architectural artist Pugin, the. figures on each plate are by Thomas
Rowlandson. Pugin is noted for his accuracy and elegant taste, and
Rowlandson’s work, in this instance, is wonderful in its versatility,
ranging from a scene in the Drawing Room of St. James Palace to the
interior of a Prison Chapel; or showing a Ballet scene in an Opera
House, and with equal merit, picturing a Session of the House of
Lords. ;
The Work of Rowlandson in the Microcosm is different from most
of his illustrations in other works. It lacks the coarseness and gro-
tesque quality that is generally characteristic of his work.
