Rivzs, the well-known horseman of Santa Barbara, California, and other consignments of note from this country and abroad.

Each item catalogued will be sold under the Association’s usual and invariable conditions of an unrestricted and unprotected public sale. The books, drawings and prints herein described are nearly all in the finest possible condition, several of the more noteworthy items being in COLLECTOR'S STATE; while the greater part are in SUMPTUOUS BINDINGS, richly decorated in gilt, including fine examples of inlaid and onlaid work- manship, and specimens of the work of such noted binders as, ZAEHNSDORF, RIVIERE, MORRELL, STIKEMAN, LARKINS, SANGORSKI AND SUTCLIFFE, THE CLUB BINDERY, ALFRED MATTHEWS, BROCA, MANSELL, ROOT, DAVID, BOZERIAN JEUNE, BEDFORD, AND OTHERS.

In the field of CoLOR PRINTING, always one of great interest to the col- lector, the catalogue is well represented by some of the more important works of Henry ALKEN; as well as by a series of books on SPORT AND COSTUMES OF ALL AGES AND COUNTRIES, which we believe comprises one of the most ex- tensive and valuable collections offered at one time at public sale in America. The remarkable series of ORIGINAL DRAWINGS BY THOMAS ROWLANDSON constitute an important feature of this catalogue; while the noteworthy collec- tion of ORIGINAL PAINTINGS BY JOHN LxexEcu, formerly the property of the artist's daughter, includes some of the more important works of this artist, and is one of great value and interest.

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. 3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the purchasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale, shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the risk of®the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such pur- chaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale, shall be a charge against such purehaser. 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.

With the beginning of 1828, the popularity of the “Annals” began to wane, and it was decided to discontinue their publication with the June number. The sale however of the May number was so small, that few copies of the June number were circulated, with the result that not many sets include the later number.

Signed by the artist, IN FULL “JOHN LEECH.” 21x16 inches. In contemporary gilt frame, glazed. Circa 1847 CONSIDERED BY MANY LOVERS OF LEECH TO BE HIS MASTERPIECE. IT FORMS THE FRONTISPIECE OF WHAT IS PERHAPS HIS MOST CELEBRATED ILLUS- TRATED WORK,—GILBERT A. A’BECKETT’S “Comic HISTORY OF ENGLAND,” 1847-1848. “Caesar, who might have been so called from his readiness to seize upon everything, now turned his eyes and directed his arms upon Britain. According to some he was tempted by the expectation of finding pearls, which he hoped to get out of the oysters, and he therefore broke in upon the natives with considerable energy. Whatever may have been Caesar’s motives the fact is pretty well ascertained, that at about ten o’clock one fine morning in August—some say a quarter past—he reached the British coast with 12,000 infantry, packed in Second Session, Tuesday Afternoon, December 4th [ No. 334—Continued | eighty vessels. He had left behind him the whole of his cavalry— the Roman horse-marines—who were detained by contrary winds on the other side of the sea. . . . At about three in the afternoon, Caesar having taken an early dinner, began to disembark his forces at a spot called to this day the Sandwich Flats, from the people having been such flats as to allow the enemy to effect a landing. While the Roman soldiers were standing shilly-shallying at the side of their vessels, a standard bearer . . . jumped into the water, which was nearly up to his knees, and addressing a claptrap to his comrades as he stood in the sea, completely turned the tide in Caesar’s favour. After a severe shindy on the shingles, the Britons withdrew.”—DHPxcrerpt From A’BECK- ETT’S “Comic History of England.” First EpIrion. The above, and the 11 following paintings by John Leech comprise, what is without doubt, the most important small collection of Leech originals that have been offered for sale at auction in this country. Every specimen is important, some extremely ‘so. A number of col- lections of Leech originals in pencil, and occasionally water color have previously been sold, but few of these however, can in any way, com- pare with the specimens here offered. THEY WERE ALL FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF THE ARTIST’S DAUGHTER. W. P. Frith in his work: “John Leech: His Life and Work,” gives a very interesting account of his first meeting with Leech, and his work as a painter, of which the following extracts are presented,— “My own admiration for Leech’s genius, so constantly roused by his works, with which I was familiar, created a great desire for his ac- quaintance; but being perfectly unknown at that time as an artist, and knowing none of Leech’s friends, IT began to despair of the realization of my wishes, when accident helped me. “A Scottish painter—a Highlander and fierce Jacobite—named Mclan, who was also an actor and friend of Macready, to whose theatrical com- pany he was attached, lived with his wife, an accomplished artist, some- where in the neighborhood of Gordon Square. Calling one morning to see Mrs. Mclan, I found her in her studio, not, as usual, hard at work at her own easel, but superintending the labours of a pupil, who was hard at work at another; and the pupil, a tall, slim, and remark- ably handsome young man, was John Leech. “T made some remark about the different method in which he was employed to that with which he was familiar. I forget what he was copying—some still life, I think. “T like painting much better than what I have to grind at day after day, if I could only do it, said Leech; but it’s so confoundedly difficult. you know, and requires such a lot of patience.” 335—LEECH (JOHN).

A’ BECKETT’S “Comic History oF ROME,’’ AND THERE REPRODUCED IN COLORS AS ONE OF THE FULL-PAGE PLATES [page 80, first edition, 1853]. FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF THE ARTIST’S DAUGHTER. “Tt is the common characteristic of a moving spectacle to strike every ohne motionless; and the guards of Appius when ordered to seize Vir- ginius, found themselves fixed to the spot by so many stirring incidents. In vain did Appius call upon his clients and his lictors to do their duty. Among all his numerous attendants there was not a sole but shook in its shoe, while the tyrant trembled from head to foot with — Second Session, Tuesday Afternoon, December 4th | No. 835—Continued | bootless anger. Urged at length by the commands of Appius, the of- ficers attempted to clear the spot, when a severe scuffle ensued, and the authorities were assailed with all sorts of missiles. The marketplace supplied abundance of ammunition. Ducks and geese flew in all direc- tions. Some of the lictors found calves’ heads suddenly lighting on their shoulders. Others, who were treated, or rather maltreated, with oysters, suffered severely from an incessant discharge of shells, and many re- ceived the entire contents of a Roman feast, ab ovo usque ad malum,— from the assault and battery of the egg, to the malum in se of a well- aimed apple.”—ExcrrpT FRoM A’BECKETT’S “Comic History oF ROME.” First Eprrion. 336.
