NOTICE.
HE intelligent and diligent book-buyer will need but little incentive
to a perusal of this catalogue, for the reputation of Mr. William
Menzies as a collector, who, to a ripened judgment unites a fastidious taste, is so extensive, that it is almost superfluous to attempt
a description of his grand and probably unrivalled collection of books. It
is much more than a collection, it is a library in every sense of the term;
for in the departments to which it is devoted it is replete with the best editions of the best authors, in the very best condition, selected and purchased
from time to time, without regard to cost, during a period of nearly forty
years.
It has been at once our occupation and privilege, during the last five and
twenty years, to compile many catalogues, some of which, from the nature
and extent of the libraries catalogued, possess considerable bibliographical
interest, but we have never, until now, had the pleasure of preparing a catalogue in which almost every book possesses special importance, and we might
with propriety terminate this notice by remarking, that where all the books
are good, it seems invidious to make a selection, but, as this catalogue will
circulate among many buyers whose engagements are numerous, and whose
time is limited, we have thought it worth while to group in a succinct preliminary notice some of the leading specialities. 
The department of Early Printed Books merits attention as containing
some fine specimens by the inventors of Printing. Lots 74and 167 being
respectively the work of John Gutenberg, and Fust & Schoiffer; lot 75
is from the press of Peter Schoiffer; and there are several other examples,
dated and undated, printed by the fathers of the art between the years 1460
and 1472; while English Printing is illustrated by a beautiful specimen of
William Caxton's work, viz., lot 926 Higden's Polycronycon; and three examples of Wynkyn de Worde, one of which, lot 2132, is the earliest
example of the use of Italian type in England.
The specimens of American Typography include some of the rarest of
the books in this catalogue. Among them lot 665 Eliot's Bible, which,
in addition to its claim as the first Bible printed in America, is worthy of distinction as being one of the finest copies in existence. Lot 514 besid
I The alphabetical list of the rare books which follows this notice was prepared for another pu
but is reprinted for its convenience as to their order in the catalogue.

being an early specimen of printing in Massachusetts, I663, is remarkable
as the only known copy which has occurred for sale in 40 years. Lot 51 I,
by John Norton, 1664, is almost equally rare and interesting. Lot 1219
is conspicuous as the first book printed in Pennsylvania and is believed to be
unique. Lot I250 is the first book printed in New York, and the only
known copy. Lot 990 is the first book printed in Boston. Lot 452 is the
first book printed in Connecticut.
Of books printed by William Bradford, the first printer in the middle
colonies, there are nearly 50 titles, many of which are properly included
in the following list of rare books. Benjamin Franklin, the printer, is represented by upward of 20 titles, including an uncut copy of his chef d'euvre,
Cicero's Cato Major, and others equally rare. Chris. Sower, of Germantown battle-ground renown, is represented by several titles, so also is John
P. Zenger, the successor to William Bradford.
Of Printing on Vellum, we have specimens of two of the only three
works known to have been so printed in the United States; several Heures
on vellum, printed in Paris, are here worthy of mention, as also is lot 2002
Turnbull's Birds of Pennsylvania, which is one of the most beautiful specimens of modern printing on vellum that we have ever seen.
It is scarcely necessary to remark that the zealous collector is always
desirous of obtaining uncut copies of his favorite works, particularly of such
as have generally fallen victims to the bookbinder's plough, in this special
field Mr. Menzies has been more than ordinarily successful, for the library
abounds in uncut copies many of which may be regarded as almost unique,
and none of them as common. We content ourselves with a brief enumeration of some of their titles, viz., Smith's New Jersey, Heath's Memoirs,
Peters' Connecticut, Franklin's Cato Major, Hutchinson's Massachusetts
Bay and Papers, Backus' Church History, Burk's Virginia, Sanderson's
Signers on large paper, Calef's More Wonders, Mather's Invisible World,
Mather's Further Trials, Mante's American War, Bullock's Virginia,
M'Call's Georgia, Thomas' History of Printing, Proud's Pennsylvania,
Smith's Canada, and Donck's New Netherland.
Of books which relate to America, and possess the attraction of much
rarity, the alphabetical list appended to this notice contains short titles of
the principal portion, but we call special attention to a remarkably fine
series of De Bry's, and of Hakluyt's Voyages, Purchas' Pilgrimes, Smith's
Virginia, True Travels, and New-England, Mourt's Relation, Symmes'
Piggwacket Fight, Denton's, Wolley's, and Smith's New York, the last
on large paper and the only known copy, Hamor's, Bullock's and Jones'
Virginia, Thomas' and Budd's Pennsylvania, Colden's Indian Nations,
st edition, Cook's Sot-Weed Factor, Gorges' America Painted to the Life,
e's North West Fox, Mather's Magnalia on large paper, and many other, by the Mathers, Romans' Florida, Anne Bradstreet's Poems, Colden's




NOTICE.                           V
Action in Matter, Hale on Witchcraft, Jefferson's Notes on Virginia,
first edition, Trials of Gens. St. Clair and Lee, Linschoten's Voyages,
Haywood's Tennessee, Andre's Cow Chace, Horsmanden's Negro Plot,
three editions, and Campanius' New Sweden.
Among the more modern, but almost equally rare works, is a series of
the books printed by Mr. George Wymberley-Jones, at Wormsloe. A
set of Munsell's Historical Series on large paper, the only one ever offered
for sale. The collections relative to Burke, Burr, Cobbett, Howe, Burgoyne, Wesley, Whitefield, Dr. Johnson, Paine, Wilkinson, Bancroft,
&c., are unusually complete, and of much interest.
Mr. Menzies' predilection for the literature of Scotland will be conspicuousiy apparent in the editions of Burns. We are acquainted with no other
catalogue in which may be found the Kilmarnock, the first Edinburgh, the
first London, and the first two American editions; while the set of Scott's
Novels is exceptionally fine, and unique.
T'he department of Bibliography, though not extensive, is nevertheless
replete with the best English, French and American authors. The series
of works by Thomas Frognal Dibdin is simply magnificent; in order to
make it so, in some instances, not less than three copies of a work have
been used in order to complete one without spot or blemish. Fine sets of
Watt. Brydges, Beloe, Clarke, Home, Lowndes, and Brunet, the last three
on large paper, and the Bibliotheca Grenvilliana, also on large paper, are embraced in the series of English and French Bibliography. American
Bibliography includes, among others, the works of Rich, Stevens, Asher,
Ludewig, Faribault, Kennett, Ternaux, Harrisse, and Sabin, the last four
of which are on large paper.
The collection of Illustrated Books includes so much that is excellent,
that we should exhaust our list of adjectives in any attempt to do it justice.
Preeminent and unapproachable, both as to extent and character, is the
piece de resistance of the sale-Irving's Life of Washington extended to 10
vols., 4to. It is a set of books worthy of a much more expanded description than it has received in the catalogue, and, like many other works in
this library, it must be seen and examined to be appreciated. It is the
noblest tribute to the memory of the " father of his country " that Bibliomania has ever offered, and no amount of money could now produce its
like. In regard to the illustrated books in general, we would call attention to the statement that they contain upward of Ten Thousand Choice
Engravings, all, with scarce an exception, fine, strong, and choice impressions, a very large proportion of which are proofs, India proofs, etc., of
the finest character, and highest class. The necessary inlaying has been
done in the best manner, by Mr. Geo. Trent. In addition to the plates,
nearly Three Hundred Autograph Letters are inserted, many of which strictly
pertain to the works in which they are inserted, while all of them will be




vi                          NOTICE.
found to be in the most satisfactory condition. The reader is referred to
the following lots viz.: 14 Adams' Works. 104 Bailey's Records of
Patriotism.  150 Beloe's Sexagenarian.  190 Boaden's Shakespeare Portraits. 432 Colden's Life of Fulton. 504 Custis' Recollections of Washington. 579, 580, 587, 59I, 592 and 593 Dibdin's Works. 623 Drake's
History of Boston. 643 and 644 Dunlap's Works. 739 Francis' Old
New York. 749 and 750 Franklin's Works. 767 Froissart's Chronicles.
794 Garden's American Anecdotes. 974 Hosack's Life of Clinton. 1042
and 1043 Irving's Works and Life. 1562 Parton's Life of Jackson. I670
Randall's Life of Jefferson. I693 Riedesel's Memoirs. 1752 Sanderson's
Lives of the Signers.  1759 Sargent's Life of Andre.  1740 Blennerhassett
Papers. 1767 Schroeder's Life of Washington.  1776 Scott's Novels.
I802 Knight's Shakspere. 2030 Walpole's Painters. 2048 Warren's
American Revolution.
Of Manuscripts the number is not large, but the importance of lot 2051
can scarcely be over-estimated; it is Washington's Correspondence with
General Reed during the American Revolution; and includes Fifty-four
original Autograph Letters of Washington, which form the subject of an
extended notice in the catalogue to which the reader is referred. We take
occasion to remark that the library is unusually rich in works pertaining to
General Washington, there being nearly two hundred Eulogies and Orations relative to his memory, all in the finest condition and mostly uncut,
all the editions of the Washingtoniana, &c., and a few books from his library.
Second only in interest to lot 2051, is lot 2095 General Wayne's MS.
Orderly Book. Lot 95 is a Collection of Autograph Letters of the Presidents of the United States. Lot 1573 is Original Autograph Letters
written by the Friends and Relatives of Washington, on the Portrait
painted by Rembrandt Peale. Lot 1824 is a remarkably fine series of
Autograph Letters of the Signers to the Constitution of the U. S. Lot
96 is a series of Autographs of Distinguished Americans. There are also
Autograph Chapters from Irving's Washington, Bancroft's History, and
Dawson's Battles of the U. S., Major Rogers' Original MS. Diary of the
Siege of Detroit, Dr. Franklin's own annotated copy of the Second Protest, Autographs for Freedom, and, though last not least, A Poem by
Robert Burns in his own hand-writing. In addition to these, some of the
volumes are enriched by inserted autograph letters and signatures; Proud's
Pennsylvania, Smith's New Jersey, and Greene's Life of Genl. Greene,
are examples. There are also two fine and richly illuminated MSS. written
on vellum during the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries respectively.
There are three books enumerated in the catalogue, of which one copy
only has been printed in the style described, viz., Laurens' Letters, Pouchot's Memoir, and the Poetry of New Netherland.
The attention of the American collector may perhaps be arrested by the




NOTICE.                           vii
fact, that the most extensive, as well as the most important of the specialities
which distinguish this remarkable collection, will be found in the assemblage
of the books which relate to America - particularly to the British North
American Colonies. We have elsewhere referred to some of the rarer and
more curious works in which that department abounds, and would now
remark, that there is scarcely an important work in English, claiming a
place among the rare Americana, which may not be found in this fine
library. Briefly, the collection of Americana has not been excelled in
attractiveness or importance, by that of any other collection ever sold.
The condition of the books throughout, is all that the most exacting and
tasteful collector can desire; the slightest blemish was always a cause for
rejection; and as very nearly all of them are bound by the best English,
French and American binders, including the names of Roger Payne, Bedford, Mackenzie, Hayday, Pratt, Lortic, Henderson & Bissett, David,
Matthews, Bradstreet, and Smith, their state, internal and external, is
unsurpassed by that of any other similar collection which has ever passed
under our notice, or, of which we have any knowledge. This is high
praise, but we know whereof we speak, and desire to create no impression
concerning the books which will not be most amply borne out by the books
themselves. The reader need be under no apprehension as to a too frequent use of the words scarce, rare, and most rare, &c., they have not been
lightly considered, but express, according to the best of our knowledge and
belief, the exact bibliographical status of the various works which are so
described.
We cannot terminate this notice without expressing our acknowledgments to Mr. Menzies for his valuable assistance without which the catalogue would have fallen far short of its present completeness; neither can
we forbear to direct attention to its typographical beauty. Mr. Munsell
has printed it from entirely new type, and the result, typographically speaking, is a catalogue which in point of taste as to style, and accuracy as to composition, has rarely been excelled by any production of a similar character.
As to the other characteristics of the catalogue they must speak for themselves. For reasons which do not concern the public, Mr. Menzies has
directed the collection to be sold at auction, at a time and place to be hereafter announced. As nothing short of an actual inspection can convey
an adequate idea of its beauty of condition, and general desirability, it will
be on view (by cards only), one week previous to the sale.

Aitken was a native of Scotland. He was condemned, executed, and hung in chains, for
setting fire to the Royal Dock-yard and shipping at Portsmouth, in December, 1776. With
the privity of Silas Deane, whom he met and conferred with at Paris, the attempt to destroy
the government property, stores, and shipping at Portsmouth, was determined on, which,
notwithstanding its apparently desperate and impracticable character, partially succeeded.
From Deane, who supplied him with a royal passport, and a sum of money in advance, he
had assurances of a reward proportioned to the services he should render to the American
cause. The Counsel for the crown on the trial, publicly accused Benjamin Franklin and
Silas Deane of complicity in the enterprise, and expressed a hope that they might be called
to account for it. The affair, says Gordon, created much confusion, apprehension, and suspicion throughout England at the time of its occurrence.
23     AITKEN.      A  Short Account of the Motives which determined the
man, called John the Painter; and a Justification of his Conduct;

"As late as I655, the Indians of New York were revenging the murderous slaughter of
four hundred of their countrymen at Pavonia, by that sanguinary coward, Governor Kieft.
The petition shows that three hundred of the Dutch colony had been slain, and one hundred carried away captives. So audacious had the fierce Indians become, that several of the
Dutch had been killed on the island of Manhattan; and on one occasion sixty-four canoes
loaded with the savages had landed on the shore of the North River, and before daylight,
had filled the streets of New Amsterdam. The first objects upon which the eyes of the
astonished Dutchmen rested in the morning, were the crowds of savages to whose forbearance alone they owed their lives. " - Field.

The Nine Parts which form this set are all ORIGINAL IMPRESSIONS, but vary in numerous
particulars from the collation of Brunet.  See the following copy of the translation of Brunet's article, made for Mr. Sabin's Dictionary, in which the VARIATIONS, and NUMEROUS IMPORTANT ADDITIONS &c. are fully and carefully noted.
This is a series of what is known as the " Grands Voyages" and contains all of the Latin
version which was published during the life time of the elder De Bry, and as the title of Part
IX bears the words " Postrema Pars," it is evident that it was intended to stop there, but the
success of the enterprise induced its continuation.  It would be easy to expatiate on the beauty,
desirability, utility, and value of this GRAND SERIES of works but we content ourselves by referring the reader to the descriptions of the work in Brunet's Manual, or, the mere English
Reader to the translation of the same in "L Sabin's Dictionary of Books relating to America"

Sm. 4to, half blue morocco.
On the verso of the last leaf of this VERY RARE and curious book is a list of the " Books to
be sold by William Bradford, in Philadelphia, I692, " with the prices; and at the bottom
of the page is the following note: " And whereas it is reported that the printer being a
favorer of G. K., he will not print for any other, which is the reason that the other party
appear not in print as well as G. K. These are to signifie that the printer hath not yet refused to print anything for either party; and also signifies that he doth not refuse, but is
willing and ready to print anything for the future that G. K.'s opposers shall bring to him."
The following notice of WILLIAM BRADFORD is from Joseph Smith's Catalogue of " Friends'
Books," and is here introduced on account of the interest which attaches to his name, as
well as on account of the numerous books, contained in this library, which were printed by
him. "William Bradford was born in Leicester, about the year 1659. He was placed as
an apprentice to learn the printing business with Andrew Sowle in London. Whilst in this
situation, he appears to have been convinced of Friends' principles, and was admitted into
membership among them. Shortly after he was of age he married Elizabeth Sowle, a




BULWER.                                       49
daughter of his late master, and then went over to America. This was in I682 or 1683.
A Certificate of Devonshire House Monthly Meeting, recommending William Bradford and
Elizabeth his wife, as members of the Society of Friends, was read in Philadelphia Monthly
Meeting, held the 4th of the IIth month, 1685, and accepted. They were not, however,
settled in Philadelphia, but in Oxford township; and belonged to Oxford Monthly Meeting.
His press was probably at Burlington, or at Chester, or at Kensington.  Having received his
printing materials from England, William Bradford was now ready to carry on business. The
first work that he printed appears to have been' An Epistle of John Burnyeat's, in i686.'
In the year 1687, he issued a prospectus for publishing by subscription a folio Bible with
notes, but not receiving sufficient encouragement, the work was relinquished. In the year
1691, he joined with George Keith in his controversy with the Society, and in i692 wished
to be discharged from the engagement as Friends' printer.  He removed to New York with
his press in i693, and was appointed printer to the government.  There he continued to
reside until 5th month 23rd, 1752, when he suddenly deceased, aged 94 years. He signed
many books and papers during the Keithian controversy.  It is scarcely necessary to add,
that Bradford being the first printer in the Middle Colonies, books printed by him are eagerly
sought for by the American collector; many of them are printed without a separate titlepage, but their completeness is ascertained by the paging and signatures."  For a list of books
printed by Bradford, see J. W. Wallace's " Address. " No. 2026.

After General Burgoyne's surrender, he was allowed to return to England on parole. Thinking himself ill-treated by the Government, and having been elected member of Parliament
for Preston, he joined the opposition; whereupon an official order was sent to him, signifying
that it was the King's pleasure that he should return to America and rejoin his captive army.
He remonstrated and was again ordered, and in consequence resigned all his civil and military
employments. In this letter he gives an explanation of his conduct.

It has been conjectured that this is a re-issue of the first Edinburgh edition, of same date,
with a different title page, but a very casual examination will suffice to show that it was
printed from an entirely different and re-composed form.  Besides; the second edition was
printedfor the author at Edinburgh, whereas this was printed for Strahan at London. The
second has an " Addenda" to the List of Subscribers, which addenda is incorporated in one
alphabet in this. The Edinburgh edition has 368 pages, this has 372.

" No doubt THE FIRST AMERICAN         EDITION."- M'Kie's " Burnsiana."
"The New York edition of the works of Robert Burns, 1788, may so far be pronounced
unique. No copy with the exception of the one named has been seen by the most sharp
hawk-eyed book hunter, or the keenest bibliographer, nor by any of the living generation so
far as known. I used to banter the Nestor of Vandewater Street (John Allan, who was
very anxious to possess this book) that I would exchange my copy of the first American edition for his Kilmarnock, the first Scotch edition, providing he would add a fifty dollar bill
by way of inducing me to part with such a rarity. He declined to comply with this generous
offer and so never had the pleasure of being possessed of what he long had set his affections
on. He lived in the hopes of some day procuring a copy, but before that day arrived he had
"passed that bourne from whence no traveller returns." —" WESTERN MEMORABILIA," [i. e.

It is a reprint, of Burns' second edition of his Poems, with the Dedication " to the Noblemen and Gentlemen of the Caledonian Hunt," but leaving out the List of Subscribers, occupying 38 pages in the original.- The late William Gowans remarks: " It is difficult at this
time to determine, whether this or the New York edition bearing the same date, was the first
of Burns's works published in America. It may, however, be presumed that the Philadelphia
edition was the first perhaps by a month or two. The quaker city was then the capital of the
lately enfranchised Colonies, and as a matter of course communication with Europe was
much more frequent and direct than [with] any other port on the Atlantic coast."

The narration of the unfortunate expedition of Cabeca de Vaca across the territory now
occupied by the Southern States from Florida to Texas in the year I527, nearly three and a
half centuries ago, is full of the most melancholy yet absorbing interest. Nine years of
wanderings and captivity among the Indians elapsed before this ill-fated member of a still

" The history of this memoir is somewhat curious, and is probably known to very few persons. It bears on the title page,' Printed for the purchasers, I809,' and was copyrighted
by' Thomas Hall;' but contains no name of either author or publishers. In fact, the work
never was published. After printing a considerable edition the printers became alarmed, in
view of the stringency of the law of libel at the time, and bethought themselves to take advice. A small number of copies -I think twenty - were bound, and one of them was
brought to the late Samuel M. Hopkins, then a young lawyer in Auburn, N. Y., for his
opinion. Mr. Hopkins dipped into the book; read some twenty or thirty pages here and
there; and informed the printer that' he found, on the average, a libel to every page.' On
this the memoir was suppressed."

" In the latter part of I866 one of the numbers of Triibner's monthly catalogue contained
a notice of a pamphlet purporting to be written by Mr. Catlin upon the secret customs of the
Mandans, said to be indescribably lascivious. This excited the indignant denial by Mr.
Catlin, of his authorship of the essay, of which, as only fifty copies were printed, little was
known.   The next year, as a more effectual disproval of his association with what he deemed
a disreputable performance, Mr. Catlin produced O-KEE-PA."- Field.

Frequently as we read of the Works of Caxton and the early English Printers, and of their

BY CAXTON at Westminster, containing 23 woodcuts, is intended in some measure to supply
this deficiency, and bring the present age into somewhat greater intimacy with the Father of
English Printers.

Chalkley was a Quaker preacher, who came to America in the year 1700, and settled at
Philadelphia. He travelled and preached in all the British Colonies from New England to
North Carolina.  He also visited the West India Islands, and the Bermudas.  "Some of
the New England priests," he says, " were so bitter against Friends, that, instead of being
humbled, under the mighty hand of God upon them in suffering the Indians to destroy them,
they express'd their enmity against the poor Quakers."

The author carefully suppressed the original edition, either "owing to the separation of

two parts, and is very often wanting or defective.
" The volume contains an account of Champlain's first voyage in 1604, his second in 6 Io,

" Copies of any of the editions of Champlain in perfect condition are exceedingly rare, and

" This Narrative of Champlain's First Voyage to the New World, is of great value to
us in establishing, by an unimpeachable authority, the story of the awful cruelties which
were inflicted upon the Indians of the West Indies by the Spaniards.  Fac-simile lithographs
of Champlain's drawings are given  among which are representations of Indian feasts, flogging Indians to church, and burning groups of the natives at the stake.  The biography gives
an interesting narration of Champlain's dealings with the Indians of New France."- Field.

in claret morocco, richly tooled in the old style, gilt edges, with " Sti. Chrysostomi Tractatus
1467." in letters of gold on the side. OF THE GREATEST RARITY.
A most beautiful specimen of Early Typography, in the finest possible state. ULRIC ZELL
was the first Cologne Printer and a workman for Schoiffer, one of the first printers. To
English Collectors his productions are still more interesting from his having been in all probability the chief instructor of WILLIAM CAXTON, whose residence at Cologne is attested by
himself in several of his interesting prefaces and colophons, many critics have also considered
that he was the actual printer of the celebrated Trojan Histories. It is certain that Caxton
used the same types at Cologne, probably after a course of instructions in the office of Zell,
and with them printed his celebrated Playe of the Chesse.- See Humphrey's Hist. of Printing.

A SPLENDID COPY; clean, fresh and crisp as it came from the press, and altogether
such a one as cannot be excelled.
The finest production of Franklin's press, and really a splendid specimen of the art. The
title page is rubricated. The translator was Judge James Logan; and Franklin, in his address, "The Printer to the Reader," calls it, "this first translation of a classic in this Western World," which is not strictly correct. Sandys' translation of Ovid was made in Virginia about ninety years earlier, but printed and published in London; and Franklin himself
had printed Cato's "Moral Distiches," Englished in couplets, in 1739, which translation is
attributed to James Logan. It is, doubtless, the second classic author translated andprinted
in North America, and is eagerly sought after by American collectors. UNCUT copies are
among the RAREST of RARE BOOKS. We know of but four copies - the one mentioned above,
one belonging to Mr. C. E. Mann, and one in each of the collections of Mr. C. H. Kalbfleisch, and Mr. E. G. Asay.

The dedication to James Alexander, Esq., at New York, is dated, "Coldingham, in the
Province of New York, Dec. Io, 1745," and signed Cadwallader Colden. The work seems
to have become scarce as early as 1786, for in January of that year Mr. Jefferson, writing
to Francis Hopkinson, observes:- " Many, many years ago, Cadwallader Colden wrote a very
small pamphlet on the subjects of Attraction and Impulsion, a copy of which he sent to
Monsieur de Buffon. He was so charmed with it that he put it into the hands of a friend
to translate, who lost it. It has ever since weighed upon his mind, and he has made repeated trials to have it found in England. But in vain.  He applied to me.  I am in hopes
if you write a line to the booksellers of Philadelphia to rummage their shops, that some of
them will find it. Or perhaps some of the careful old people of Philadelphia or New Jersey
may have preserved a copy." Whether Hopkinson was successful does not appear.

One Hundred andfifty copies printed for PRIVATE DISTRIBUTION. VERY SCARCE.:" While still on board his caravel, February I5th, off the island of St. Mary, Columbus
wrote two official accounts of his voyage, one of which was addressed to Raphael or Gabriel
Sanchez or Sanxis, the Crown Treasurer. No copy, either in print or in manuscript, of the
Spanish original, has yet been found, but the discovery made a few years ago, in the Ambrosian Library, of a printed copy of the letter addressed to Luis de Santangel, warrants the
belief that not only it may have been printed, but that it is not irretrievably lost.  As to the
original itself, notwithstanding the diligent searches instituted by Mufnoz in Simancas, and
Navarrete in the Lonja at Seville, where, after the establishment of the General Archives,
of the Indies, in 1792, all documents relating to the Western World had been transferred,
no traces of it have ever been discovered.  The Spanish text of the letter to Santangel had
been made known through Navarrette, who possessed a transcript from the original, which,
in 1818, was still deposited among the archives at Simancas. It was not known then, or
even suspected, that this important document had been printed before.  This rarissime
plaquette is printed in a kind of semi-gothic type, of the roughest character, resembling none
of the incunabula which we have been able to examine. The fact alone that the text is in
the Spanish language authorizes the belief that it was printed in Spain.  The text of the
Ambrosian plaquette was first published three years ago. It is also in two late American
publications. The Marquis D'Adda has lately reproduced the entire letter in facsimile." -

8cvo, 36 unnumbered leaves; the Letter of Columbus filling only the last seven and a half; 6
woodcuts.  Citron morocco, paneled sides, gilt edges, by W. MATTHEWS.
Of the seven early editions known of the Cosco translation of this celebrated Letter of
COLUMBUS, only two bear a date. The first part of the work is simply a drama on the capture of Granada from the Moors by Ferdinand. From that portion of the volume signature
bb is wanting. In all other respects it is a most superior copy, and a volume OF EXTREME
RARITY.
Washington Irving, in his life of Columbus, is very eloquent in praise of the language
used in this first document ever printed relative to the discovery of America, and he considers it, on the whole, as far more authentic and valuable than the subsequent works of other
authors, who, for the most part, wrote of things they never saw, and who recorded as facts,
circumstances and deeds which were entirely fictitious, and existed only in their own imaginations. All other writers, since the discovery of these precious gems, unite in admiration
and the warmest eulogiums of their merit and extraordinary rarity. Dr. Robertson, notwithstanding his research, was totally unacquainted with their existence.

Cotton having been inserted in the title page by mistake. Its great influence in shaping our
institutions is universally admitted. It is also interesting as ONE OF THE EARLIEST BOOKS

AN UNEQUALLED COLLECTION
OF
DIBDIN'S BIBLIOGRAPHICAL WORKS
WITH UPWARDS OF
ONE THOUSAND HIGH CLASS INSERTED ILLUSTRATIONS.
The following, beautiful, very complete, and extraordinary assemblage of Dibdin's Bibliographical Works has been made at a large
cost of time and money, and is the result of many years of diligent
and discriminative collecting. We venture to remark, that it would
be difficult, if indeed it were possible, to produce another such set; a
conclusion at which the intelligent collector will speedily arrive on
a careful perusal of the notes to the respective works. It is unnecessary to attempt to add to the superlative praises which have been
lavished upon the works of Mr. Dibdin by the most intelligent critics,
and the most refined admirers of the productions of art. An English
Reviewer remarks, "we are decidedly of opinion that no bibliographical collection can be complete without Mr. Dibdin's volumes,
which are, independent of the solid information they contain, frequently enlivened by literary anecdotes, and rendered generally interesting by great variety of observation, and acuteness of remark."
Mr. Allibone observes, " Now of all Englishmen who have ever
lived, there never was a man better suited to make a dry study attractive, and a learned subject plain, than Dr. Dibdin of Roxburghe
memory. This magician could with his pen dress up a begrimed,
uncouth-looking volume, in more attractive style than could Grolier's
binder with his most cunning tools.  He could convert'Belindas'
and' Almasas' into BIBLIOMANIACS, and make a dry catalogue of old
English poetry more attractive than the last novel. It was but necessary for him to apply the epithets' excessively rare,' or' exceedingly
curious,' and the neglected Caxton in your garret would buy you a
year's clothing for your household, and the old family Bible would
defray your Christmas festivities."
The set here noted is especially remarkable for the strength and
beauty of the impressions of the plates, the spotless purity of the paper,
its large and uncut margins, the appropriate chasteness of its binding,
and the extraordinary character of the numerous added illustrations.
As the several works of Dibdin greatly vary in size, an attempt
has been made, in the present instance, to obtain all the uniformity
of range possible. This can only be accomplished by selecting large
paper copies of some of the works, and small paper copies of others,
which method has been adopted by the owner of this set, with very
considerable success. The collection is uniformly bound in half
crushed rich olive brown levant morocco, gilt top, UNCUT, by W.
MATTHEWS; Mr. Utterson's copy of the " Bibliomania," and c Book
Rarities," excepted, which are gilt edged.




DIBDIN.                                   113
The tools used in its ornamentation were cut expressly for the set,
and each volume has had the same care and attention in its forwarding and finishing, as if it were in full binding; the present style having
been adopted in order that perfect freedom might be exercised in the
use of the volumes for reference or examination.        In fine, we do not
hesitate to state, that, taking the collection volume for volume, leaf
for leaf, and plate for plate, its purity and beauty of condition cannot
be excelled, if indeed equalled, by any other, either in, or out of, the
United States.    It may here be remarked that no part of the set has
been subjected to the process of washing, as the crisp and firm texture
of each and every leaf, throughout, will sufficiently testify.
The several works are here, with two or three exceptions, arranged
in chronological order.

" A work calculated to have as intoxicating an effect on the imagination of literary antiquaries, as the adventures of the heroes of the Round Table on all true knights, or the tales of

without some hostile (though unfounded) remarks from the printers, binders, and librarians
of France."- Wrangham.

" A large part of this very rare work is devoted to a description of the natives of the New
Netherlands. Van der Donck arrived in New Amsterdam in I642. He served as the
sheriff of the colony of Rensselaerwyck, and purchased an estate on the Hudson, near the
site of the village of Yonkers. Before this work was published, he had printed An Exposition of the New Netherlands (Hague, 650,) in which the administrations of Kieft and
Stuyvesant were vigorously assailed. A division of the work before us, found on page 52,
is entitled, " Of the Manners and peculiar Customs of the Natives of the New-Netherlands."
This is subdivided into twenty-two sections, each treating of some of the peculiarities of the
savages of the state of New York. The whole covering pp. 52 to 8I. The treatise possesses
an interest beyond its rarity, in being the relation of an educated man, regarding the Indians
of the island and neighborhood of New-York. The work was translated by Gen. J. Johnson, and printed in the sixth volume of the New York Historical Society."- Field.

an INDIA PROOF VIGNETTE mounted in each. The inserted ILLUSTRATIONS exceed FIVE HUNDRED in number, ALL of which are UNEXCEPTIONALLY FINE and APPROPRIATE, and many of
which could not, probably, now be duplicated.
This BEAUTIFULLY BOUND, and ELEGANTLY ILLUSTRATED work is one of the GEMS of this
collection; and is, perhaps, at once, one of the MOST EXTENSIVELY as well as MOST TASTEFULLY
ILLUSTRATED sets in existence. As intending purchasers will examine and decide for themselves, we refrain from attempting to describe the contents of this UNIQUE, ELEGANT, and
HIGHLY INTERESTING BOOK, further than to quote what here follows from an intelligent
correspondent of the New York Evening Mail. " Among the illustrations will be found
portraits of almost all the prominent American artists named in the work, and engraved
specimens, so far as they could be procured, of the style or manner of each individual painter
or engraver. In illustrating this book its present owner has exhibited admirable judgment
in the selection of specimens of the different styles of our artists. He has in all cases endeavoured to secure an impression from the very block or plate criticised or otherwise spoken
of in the text.  This is the true and only correct method of illustrating such works; here
we have the engraving on one page and on the other a criticism of it - the artist and the
critic communing as it were, together."
The following work which may be considered as a continuation of this, is uniform in size
and style of binding, and should accompany it.

This is one of the copies having the DEDICATION TO KING CHARLES, of which, according
to Thomas, (Hist. of Printing.) TWENTY COPIES ONLY were printed.
It has been newly bound by MR. FRANCIS BEDFORD, who pronounced it to be the FINEST
coPY he had ever seen, and who thus describes his own work.  " Olive Levant gros grained
morocco; Elegantly Ornamented back, and double paneled sides, Diamond Centre and Diamond
Corners in rich Harleian style, joints inside richly hand tooled, and crimson silk linings against
marble paper facings, double silk head bands, enclosed in a Solander Case of blue English morocco,
full gilt and lettered back, lined with white velvet."
Mr. J. H. Trumbull's Translation of the Catechism at the end of the volume, of which a
few copies only were printed for presentation to the owners of copies of the Bible, will accompany
it. The Translation matches and ranges with the Solander case containing the Bible, and
was also bound by MR. BEDFORD.
This copy was a duplicate from the Bodleian Library at Oxford, and reached the United
States in I862, seeking a purchaser at $Iooo. It was bought by Mr. Bruce, and again sold
at the dispersion of his library in I868, when the writer bought it for Mr. Rice, at a cost of
$II5o. It was then first discovered that the leaf of contents was wanting.  Fortunately,
however, an imperfect copy of the Bible happened to be accessible, from which the needed
leaf was obtained, and Mr. Rice was made happy by the acquisition of what he imagined to
be a perfect copy of Eliot's Indian Bible. At the sale of Mr. Rice's collection in 1870, it
again changed hands, having been purchased by Mr. Bouton, from whom it was obtained by
its present owner, who discovered that the leaf of contents inserted by Mr. Rice, was that
belonging to the second edition, and replaced it with a GENUINE leaf from an imperfect copy
of the FIRST EDITION then in his possession. The book is therefore now ABSOLUTELY PERFECT THROUGHOUT; a GENUINE FIRST EDITION from BEGINNING TO END, beyond cavil or
question.  It is without doubt, the FINEST COPY that has, for many years, been offered for sale,
and is believed to be the BEST, in point of size, preservation, and internal condition (if we
except the Bodleian Library stamp, on the reverse of the titles), of any on this side of the
Atlantic. The Allan copy was slightly SHORTER. In this copy PROOF LEAVES are to be met
with at every few pages, while in the Allan copy there were few or none. In short, it is
a MATCHLESS COPY.
" Mr. Eliot, pastor of Roxbury, Mass., commenced, at the age of forty two, the study of
the Natick Indian dialect, in which this work is printed. In i 649, having made some proficiency, he expressed a desire to translate a portion of the Scriptures into that language for




ELIOT.                                      135
the use of the Indians to whom he acted as a Missionary, and with the aid of an Indian,
completed the translation of the entire Bible, including the Old and New Testament, in
1658, after a labor of eight years. This fact having been communicated to the Corporation
established in London for the Propagation of the Gospel among the Indians of New-England,
that body expressed themselves, in a letter dated 7th of May, I659, on the subject of printing
the work, in the following terms'As to the printing of the Bible in the Indian language; mensioned in Mr. Endicott's'letter; which wee vnderstand is alreddy translated into the Indian tounge; wee conceuie
(will not onely be acceptable vnto God; but very proffitable to the poor heathen and will' much tend to the promotion of the sperituall part of this worke arhongst them; and therfor' wee offer it not only as our owne but as the judgment of others that the New Testament
bee first printed in the Indian language.' The printing of that part was accordingly commenced by Samuel Green, of Cambridge, the same year.    Writing in April, 1660, the
Corporation add:' We haue out of our desire to further a worke of soe great consernment' hauing hopes that somethinge will bee collected in particulare with Relation to the printing'of the ould Testament, agreed with an able Printer for three years.'"
Marmaduke Johnson accordingly arrived in this country to superintend the printing.
" It has been already stated that Mr. Eliot completed the immense labour of translating
this Bible in 1658, but the printing of the Old Testament was not commenced until 1660.
In September of that year, a sheet of Genesis was transmitted to England.' The printers doubt
not but to print a sheet every weeke, and compute the whole to amount to a hundred and fifty sheets.'
In September, I66I, the five books of Moses were printed; in September, 1662, the work
was about half done, and completed in September, 1663. Three years were thus occupied
in the completion of the Old Testament. The Corporation had already ordered, in April,
I663,' that the Psalmes of David, in meter, shalbee printed in the Indian language.' On
the I8th of Sept., following, twenty copies of the Bible were ordered to be sent to England,'and as many of the Psalmes, if printed of before the shippes departure from hence.' The
edition, including the Psalm books, consisted of upwards of Iooo copies. Three hundred
and sixty-eight reams of paper were used in printing the Bible; the expense ranged from
sixty to seventy shillings sterling a sheet. The cost of printing the Psalms was forty shillings a sheet, or ~26, in the whole; of printing the'Epistle dedicatory' to the Bible, ~i,
and of' binding and clasping,' two shillings and sixpence per copy. JOHN RATCLIFF, the
bookbinder, objected to this low price, and avowed in a petition to the Commissioners,'that under 3s. 4d. or 3s. 6d. per book' he could not bind them and live comfortably,'one
Bible being as much as he could compleat in one day,' and find the materials."- O'CALLAGHAN.
Among the many points of interest which this book possesses, not the least is the fact,
that it is the language of a nation no longer in existence, and is almost the only monument
of the race; another, that it is the first edition of the Bible published in this country. The
very sight of it caused the quaint Cotton Mather to exclaim: " Behold, ye Americans, the
greatest honour that ever you were partakers of! This... is the only Bible that ever was printed
in all America, from the very foundation of the World."
The names of the Books are retained as in the English versions, and such words as were
unknown to the Indians are retained with an Indian termination, such as cherubimlah, &c.
The longest word is, Mark, i, 40: Wutteppesittukqussunnoowehtunkquoh, signifying
" kneeling down to him."

Martin, in his "Catalogue of Books, Privately Printed," notices but seven titles during the
entire century in which this interesting little volume was printed. This, the only known
copy is uncut, and has manuscript alterations by a contemporary hand —probably by Eliot
himself. It is, we believe, UNIQUE.

CHARLES THOMSON, Secretary to Congress, was the author of this most interesting and
valuable Enquiry.
"One of the principal causes of the hostility of the Pennsylvania Indians, was the wicked
craft practiced upon them by Governor Thomas Penn, and other proprietors in 1737. Certain
chiefs having been called together by the speculators, two persons were found to testify that
they were present at a council fifty years before, at which as much land was ceded to William
Penn, as a man could walk around in a day and a half There was a chief living who could
have proved this testimony false, but he was carefully kept in ignorance of the council, and
by mean fraud, endless perjury, and tempting but specious gifts, the surreptitious deed was
ratified. To locate as large a territory as possible, a trained pedestrian was employed, who
was met at appointed stations by refreshments, and thus was enabled to traverse a route which
cut off a million acres from the Indian territory.  Less than one third that quantity of land
was the amount which the Indians had been led to expect would be ceded. Endless conferences, and numerous councils, were followed by bloody massacres, that devastated the
border settlements of Pennsylvania and Virginia, for twenty years. Mr. Thomson's work
fully analyzes the cause of the alienation, which the heroic Quaker, Christian Post, hazarded
his life to overcome."- Field.

DR. FRANKLIN'S COPY, WITH HIS MANUSCRIPT NOTES. This was purchased at the sale or
Mr. Morrell's Library, from whose catalogue the following notice is reprinted:  Of this
unique volume, possessing as it does the greatest historical interest, it is needless to say more
than that I have always considered it one of the choicest, in point of rarity, in my collection.
The following lines in Franklin's handwriting, on page 12, will serve as a specimen of the
character of the notes (with which nearly every page is copiously filled):'My Duty to the
King & Justice to my Country, will, I hope, justify me if I likewise protest, which I do
with all Humility, in behalf of myself and of Every American, and of our Posterity, against
your Declaratory Bill, that the Parliament of Great Britain, hath not, never had, and or
Right never can have, without our Consent given either before or after, Power to make
Laws of sufficient Force to bind the Subjects in America in any Case whatever, and particularly in Taxation.'"
On the last leaf occurs the following, also in FRANKLIN'S HANDWRITING. "( I have some
little Property in America. I will freely spend nineteen Shillings in the Pound to defend
my Right of giving or refusing the other Shilling, and after all, if I cannot defend that Right,
I can retire chearfully with my little Family into the Boundless Woods of America which
are sure to afford Freedom and Subsistance to any man who can bait a Hook or pull a Trigger."

the subsequent issues are defaced and undesirable. The work itself is the FIRST EDITION
of Smith's reprint. The numerous woodcuts are consequently fine, strong, and brilliant
impressions.
TWO ELEGANT VOLUMES.
Sir Walter Scott, in his "Tales of my Landlord," thus speaks of the above: "Did you
ever read Froissart?" "No," said Morton.  " I have half a mind," said Claverhouse, "to
contrive you should have six months' imprisonment in order to procure you that pleasure.
His chapters inspire me with more enthusiasm than even poetry itself."

" I rejoice you have met with Froissart; he is the Herodotus of a barbarous age; had he
but had the luck of writing in as good a language he might have been immortal! His locomotive disposition (for then there was no other way of learning things), his simple curiosity,
his religious credulity, were much like those of the old Grecian."- Gray's Letters.

"In my judgment, Mr. Frothingham's work excels any that has appeared on insulated points of our history.  It is the best of our historic monographs that I have seen. Its
author has been patient in research, and very successful; has been most impartial; has
brought to excellent materials a sound and healthy judgment, and after finishing all this, his
work is pervaded with a modesty which lends a new charm to its merit."- George Bancroft.

(of a small number printed) having reached this country." In the late Mr. Gowans' catalogue for I866, a cut copy is priced at $25.

158                                    GAGE.
This elegant copy has been in the possession of Mr. Utterson, and the Rev. T. Corser,
and is worthy of companionship with the choicest of books. It is of the GREATEST POSSIBLE
RARITY in a fine and complete condition like this. There is a copy in the Lambeth Library,
and one in the British Museum, and there was said to be a copy in the collection of Mr.
Nuenburg, but it did not appear in the catalogue of his library. It is conspicuous by its absence from the Grenville collection, and from the library at Althorpe; nor did Mr. Heber
succeed in obtaining it. Dibdin never saw a copy, but described it from Herbert's account.
The present example is a very desirable one, as it rarely happens that an English book of so
early a date, by one of the first printers, is found in such clean, sound state. Next after CAXTON,
the name of his pupil, WYNKYN DE WoRDE, is most famous in the annals of English typography. Although by birth a Lorrainer, he devoted himself to England, and did more than
any other of the early English printers to spread knowledge by means of the press.

This book is remarkable as the first and only extensive work by an English author upon
the Spanish Indies as seen from within. It is most entertaining and instructive, notwithstanding the singularly superstitious tales that it narrates.  Gage belonged to the Dominican
order originally, but joined the English church before he wrote his travels. The zzd chapter

Galloway at first espoused American independency, but subsequently joined the home
party and wrote against the Americans.  Even at this late hour he scribbles for the recovery
of the colonies and against their independence. Trumbull hits him hard, thus:"Did you not, in as vile and shallow way,
Fright our poor Philadelphian, Galloway,
Your Congress, when the loyal ribald
Belied, berated and bescribbled?
What ropes and halters did you send,
Terrific emblems of his end,
Till, lest he'd hang in more than effigy,
Fled in a fog the trembling refugee?"- McFingal.

Dr. Gordon went to America in I770, remained there until 1786, and wrote a considerable part of his work on the spot. Congress allowed him the inspection of such records
as could with propriety be submitted to the perusal of a private person. Washington, Gates,
Greene, Lincoln and Otho H. Williams, also allowed a liberal examination of their papers.
" The accounts here given of American Affairs," says the author, " are so different in several respects from what have been the conceptions of many on each side of the Atlantic, that
it was necessary to insert a variety of letters, papers, and anecdotes, to authenticate the
narrative."

"' Written by himself,' or this little book of 96 pages would most likely have been pronounced the greatest libel upon the greatest man New York ever produced. It has been
claimed to the honor of his friends that they endeavored to suppress it. It was copyrighted,
and never reprinted but once until recently, but scarce as it has become, it is now part of
American literature. Hamilton was charged with'a connection with one James Reynolds
for purposes of improper pecuniary speculation.'' My real crime,' confesses the late Secretary
not without a blush,'is an amorous connection with his [Reynolds] wife for a considerable
time, with his privity and connivance.' That was how he came to be the private banker
of the husband of Mrs. Reynolds,' from whose conversation it was quickly apparent that
other than pecuniary consolation would be acceptable,' p. 18. Truth never appeared so
naked as in these confessions of Alexander Hamilton."- Stevens.

"Heckewelder's narrative is a full and undoubtedly faithful record of all the details of the
Mission, its wonderful success and its appalling destruction. He was able to give a thousand
particulars from personal experience, and it is at once an interesting story, abounding in
veritable incidents; and a valuable history, fortified by impregnable facts. Forty years of
missionary life among the Delaware and Shawnese tribes, had amply fitted the author to record the facts which fell under his own knowledge."- Field.

" Hennepin was persecuted, and has been severely criticised, chiefly on account of his opposition to the Jesuits, and because he counselled William III. (in whose dominions he had
sought for the freedom and safety which he could not find in France) to send out missionaries to the New World. His enemies considered such advice from a monk as heretical
and detestable; it simply proves the wiser, purer and more Catholic Christianity of Hennepin, who had no bigoted horror for other sects than his own."- Stevens.

" No one has ever disputed the fidelity of old Herrera, styled the Prince of Historians, to
the sources of information then accessible, and no one has ever exceeded him in careful research, and interesting narration of aboriginal history. He sought and obtained many of the
original documents, which the industry and spirit of the old missionaries and explorers made
so numerous and voluminous. He copied, almost bodily, the MS. History of the Indies by
Las Casas. Mr. Squier notices that he has transferred almost the entire MS. Relacion of
Palacio, to chapters 8, 9, and Io of the Eighth Book of his Fourth Decade. His work is a
perfect treasure-house of the most valuable details, regarding the original state of the religion

Folio, thick gros grained brown levant morocco elegant, richly blind tooled entirely over the
covers to an old English Caxton pattern, with Tudor Rose, Fleurs de Lis and Acorns, in exact
facsimile of an early Caxton binding, gilt edges, by F. BEDFORD. EXTREMELY RARE.
This LARGE and ELEGANT copy of the POLYCHRONICON, than which "few of Caxton's
books have excited more interest and research," is a SPLENDID EXAMPLE of typographical art
from the hands of ENGLAND'S FIRST PRINTER nearly FOUR HUNDRED YEARS ago. It measures
7- inches by Io1 inches on the leaf, and therefore, is fully up to the average size of all the
copies referred to by Mr. Blades in his life of Caxton.  Of the 29 copies enumerated by him
all but five are imperfect, some being fragments merely, as in the case of one of those in
the British Museum, which contains but six leaves only. A noticeable feature in Mr.
Blades's list is that almost every incomplete copy is deficient in the earlier portions of the
work, thus accounting for the fact that the two leaves of the Proheme alone, would probably command forty pounds in London.
This beautiful copy contains ALL the prefatory matter, except the Table of Contents, with
which exception, and that of the " Liber Ultimus " written by Caxton himself in continuation of the history, it will be found to meet Mr. Blades's collation of the text in every particular. A few leaves have been repaired by Mr. Bedford in his neatest manner. In every
other respect the volume is in a FINE STATE OF PRESERVATION.

" The Songs of a nation, more than any other influence, preserve its annals in their lights
and shades of feeling. The days when the Stuarts claimed the throne of Scotland formed a
stirring period in the national history, and around them have been thrown by the poet's art,
interest, and romance that can never die 3 the famous Ettrick Shepherd revelled in the Songs

SPLENDID COPY of an uncommon set of books.
The first systematic work, on the Reptiles of the United States, ever attempted. The
PLATES, 157 in number, are beautifully COLOURED; and it appears to be in every way worthy
of a place in the library of the Naturalist by the side of Wilson's great work on our Birds.
Complete sets, like the present, are VERY SCARCE, the fourth and fifth volumes, of which a
small edition only was printed, being rarely found with the other three.

Sm. folio, old russia; from the ALLAN Collection, containing 64 PORTRAITS, and 2 MONUMENTS. BRILLIANT IMPRESSIONS. A GENUINE, EARLY and TALL coPY1ssued before those with
the post praefatio. The engraved title is mounted, and the fore-margin of several leaves a
little wormed, notwithstanding which it is a desirable copy of this beautiful series of English
Portraits, the first ever issued.
As few copies are perfect we add the COLLATION:- Title; Text: Augustissimo, I leaf;
Praefatio, 2 leaves; Ejusdem, a leaf; Encomium, a leaf; iret, a leaf; non jam, leaf with portrait; pp. 1-240, with a PORTRAIT on nearly every leaf. SEPARATE PLATES, Monument of
Queen Elizabeth at p. 40; Frobisher's portrait, at p. 96; J. Balaeus, at p. 164.
This book (says Walpole) was the first regular collection of English Heads, and though
it had probably a wide circulation upon its appearance, it is at this time in a complete state,
very rare.  What greatly enhances its merits is, that all the portraits, also the two monuments are drawn from original pictures.




192                                   HOLMES.
946     [HOLLIS (Thomas.)]         The Trve Sentiments of America: contained in a Collection of Letters sent from the Hovse of Representatives of the Province of Massachvsetts Bay to several persons of high

London: J. Almon. 1768.
8vo, pp. 158. Half green morocco. Large and fine copy.
"The collecting and publication of these important papers in England is due to Thomas
Hollis, an ardent friend of the Colonies in London. They include the celebrated letter
written by Samuel Adams to Dennis De Berdt, Agent for the House of Representatives in
England, dated January I2, 1768, adopted by the Colonial Legislature and signed by the
Speaker.  Until recently there were doubts as to the authorship of this document, but all
uncertainty is now removed, Mr. Bancroft having in his possession the original draft in the
handwriting of Mr. Adams. In speaking of this Mr. Bancroft says, " On the sixth day of
January, and for the evening and morning of many succeeding days, the paper was under
severe examination. Seven times it was revised; every word was weighed, every sentence
considered; and each seemingly harsh expression tempered and refined. At last, on the
twelfth of January, the letter was adopted, to be sent to the Agent, communicated to the
British Ministry, and published to the world, as expressing the unchangeable opinions of
Massachusetts."- History of the United States, Vol. VI. p. 120-125.

19 large ILLUMINATED PAINTINGS THE SIZE of THE PAGE, and 34
smaller Miniatures likewise in GOLD AND COLOURS; all the capitals
are RUBRICATED AND GILT.                             Paris: Kerver. MCCCCC.
Sm. 4to, blue morocco, inlaid and richly tooled back, gold filleted sides,gilt edges. In thefinest
state of preservation.
A MOST BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE of the RARE FIRST EDITION, " Secundum Usum Romanum,"
PRINTED BY KERVER, with a date, and a fine specimen of his early and celebrated Press; the
ornamental illuminations are of equal merit, and interesting specimens of French Art; the
Costumes being of a rich and varied character.
" Thielmann Kerver, who commenced to publish his' Hours' in 1497, at first used the
press of Jean Philippe; but he soon printed for himself, for we remark that from the end
of this same year, 1497, he printed for Jean Richard of Rouen, and for Pierre Regnault of
Caen, who, in I492 had employed Pigouchet. He lived then on Pont St. Michel. Three
years after, he sold his shop to Gillett Remacle, bookseller, for whom he printed' Hours' in
1500, 1501, 502 and I503, in the Rue St. Jacques, where he died in 522. His widow succeeded him at the end of this year. She continued until 1556 to publish books of liturgy in
all forms. One remarkable thing is, that though the editions are very numerous, the Hours'
of Kerver are rarer than those of Vostre or of the two Hardouins.  This comes probably
from the fact that few were printed upon vellum, and that the copies on paper have been
destroyed. Besides, among those which appeared before I520, only the first, with borders
round the pages, are worthy of being collected; and these borders are desirable for the arabesque, a style in which he excelled. It is supposed that Kerver rarely used painting to
decorate his books, for but few have come down to us thus ornamented. "- Brunet.

The only copy that has been sold in New York during many years was in the Bruce sale.
It was bought for Mr. Rice and resold with his Collection when it brought $I40.00, and
was a copy much inferior to this.  Mr. Quaritch, in a recent catalogue, offers a copy for
~45, and remarks " I know of no other copy sold in the London market." The work had
become so scarce even in I8Io, that the editor of the edition of that year intimates that he
experienced the greatest difficulty in finding a copy. Parker (the printer of this volume)
was an apprentice to Bradford, and succeeded to the business in 1742.

less exact; yet doth it sufficiently show the situation of the country, and conveniently well the distance of places, &c."

that year the FIRST PRESS was set up at Boston. The entire work was reprinted at London

" The illustrations of this work, which, unlike fac-similes produced by hand, must necessarily be absolute reproductions of their originals, exceed one hundred in number, and frequently consist of representations of entire pages from many of the most interesting books
produced by the early printers. Among them may be mentioned an entire folio page from
the first printed Bible, the magnificent work of Gutenberg, richly adorned with ornamental
borderings by a contemporary German illuminator. An entire page from the celebrated
Psalter of Schceffer, in which the large capitals are PRINTED IN COLOURS, in rivalry with the
illuminators of the time. Pages from the first books printed in ITALY, FRANCE, SPAIN,
FLANDERS, and HOLLAND, accompany the accounts of the introduction of the printing press
to those countries; and several such entire pages in fac-simile illustrate the description of
the works of WILLIAM CAXTON, the founder of the printing press in England. In addition
to these and many illustrations of other kinds, will be found a very interesting and an
abundant series of examples from the most richly decorated of the French " HOR E," and
from the profusely illustrated German books produced in the first half of the sixteenth
century."

Borderings with which their pages are enriched, is scarcely known and appreciated beyond
the narrow circle of enthusiastic bibliographers who have made the first works that issued
from the printing press a subject of specialstudy; and it is to make them more widely known
that the present work has been projected. The greater part of the examples are now published for the first time, and have never appeared in any other bibliographical work. They
comprise designs by WOHLGEMUTH) DURER, BURGEMAIR, CRANACH, and others equally celebrated."

Together 7 vools., roy. 4to, extended to 12'vols. LARGE PAPER, of which ONE HUNDRED AND
TEN copies of the " LIFE," and ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-SIX copies of the " CHARACTER"
were respectively printed. Superbly bound in polished green levant morocco of a uniform shade
throughout; paneled sides elegantly tooled and gilt, and corner ornaments with Washington's monogram in centre, the whole after an original design prepared expressly for the work; back in unison;
broad inside borders beautifully inlaid, tooled and gilt on polished green morocco; rich watered
silk linings; morocco joints; gilt top, UNCUT; each volume in a SLIP-CASE lined with,velvet
finished chamois leather; by W. MATTHEWS: a MASTERPIECE of ARTISTIC BOOKBINDING, described by himself in a letter, which accompanies the set, and from which the following is an
extract.
"' I have never felt so great a responsibility in binding a set of books before. The material, consisting of sojarge a number of engravings and letters, of every size and shape, requiring strength and flexibility alike, and their correct arrangement, was of itself sufficient,
but to forward true, and handsomely finish twelve volumes, so that either one may be taken
as a sample of the rest, is an effort not easily accomplished in the art of bookbinding. In
all these particulars I think I have never been more successful. In the minute correctness
of the finishing I will challenge the world to produce so many volumes so exact and so perfect in their ornamentation. Mr. Gibson has been steadily employed on them since July
Ioth, to December ist, and is unequalled as an exact finisher and designer. The exact
amount of wages paid this workman was $502.97.- I may add that no workman ever
worked more faithfully, and the exactness of so large a piece of work is a marvel of modern
patience, no finisher or expert could detect which volume was done first or last. Aside from
the binding you have the most exquisitely illustrated set of books that ever went through my
hands, the book is worthy. of the binding, and I shall feel happy to hear you say the binding
is worthy of the book."
Independent of the one hundred and two India proof plates which form a part of the original work, many of which are genuine unlettered first proofs obtained directly from MR.
PUTNAM in advance of their issue, this TRULY MATCHLESS COPY of the LIFE OF WASHINGTON
contains ONE THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED inserted ILLUSTRATIONS, of the most choice description; comprising TWO HUNDRED and TWENTY-TWO PORTRAITS of WASHINGTON j EIGHT HUNDRED and SIXTY-ONE PORTRAITS of his COMPEERS and ASSOCIATES TWO HUNDRED and

The " MS. CHAPTER." Contains an INDIA PROOF PORTRAIT of the AUTHOR engraved by
HALPIN from the picture by MARTIN, and a RUBRICATED TITLE PAGE printed by MR. MUNSELL expressly for the volume.
The " CHARACTER AND PORTRAITS," which has been treated as an independent work and
entirely irrespective of the LIFE, etc., contains (in addition to the Twelve Illustrations published with the volume, all of which are selected India proofs, and India proofs before letters,)
FORTY-FOUR inserted ILLUSTRATIONS, of which FORTY-ONE are PORTRAITS of WASHINGTON,
many of them VERY RARE, and embracing FIVE UNLETTERED INDIA PROOF impressions and
ONE PROOF impression from PRIVATE PLATES, besides FIFTEEN other UNLETTERED INDIA
PROOF impressions of the FIRST CLASS.
The numerous portraits which constitute so large an element in the illustration of this
unrivalled set are uniformly brilliant impressions, selected with the most fastidious care, and
of the finest description throughout. Many of them were imported from England, France,
and Germany, during the preparation of the work, especially for its embellishment, as they
could not then, nor could they now, be obtained in this Country, and many large and expensive engravings were reduced in order to obtain a single good head of some notable
personage prominent in the text. They represent nearly every eminent character referred to
in the work, and are thought to comprise every thing that is rare, curious, or fine in that
connection, including TWENTY BEAUTIFUL PORTRAITS of FRANKLIN, and the pair of Washington and Franklin, painted and etched by CHARLES WILSON PEELE, which are so RARE
that fifty dollars have been paid for an impression of the Franklin head alone. The portraits of
Washington were selected from an assemblage of upwards of four hundred, the result of
many years of discriminative collecting by the present owner of the work. They are ALL
in fine condition, ALL essentially different, comprehend every known rare or curious portrait
of that illustrious character, and their duplication, under almost any circumstances, may well
be questioned.
The coloured photographs mostly represent persons whose portraits have not been publicly engraved. They were executed in the best and most careful manner by an accomplished
artist, irrespective of cost, exclusively for these volumes. The Water Colour Drawings,
which chiefly represent the various Head-Quarters of Washington, and other notable localities, were mostly taken on the spot expressly for this copy of the work.
The Autograph letters, notes, and documents are of the highest interest, and of much
historical value, nearly all relating and pertinent to the period, circumstance, or event referred to in the narrative. Many of them possess no inconsiderable value as autographs
merely, such, for instance, as those of MRS. WASHINGTON, BENEDICT ARNOLD, ETHAN
ALLEN, COL. PETER GANSEVOORT, GEN. ROBERT HOWE, BARON DE KALB, KOSCIUSZKO,
DE ESTAING, LAFAYETTE and others.
The Inlaying of many hundreds of the engravings was intrusted carte blanche to MR.
GEORGE TRENT, who executed the work in the most artistic and satisfactory manner.
An ardent admirer of the character of Gen. Washington, the owner of those volumes
spent the leisure of ten years, and no small amount of money,in their con amore preparation.
They are in the FINEST STATE OF PRESERVATION, PERFECT IN EVERY DETAIL, the TEXT and
PLATES, without any exception, PURE and SPOTLESS from beginning to end throughout, and
we do not hesitate to assert, that, take them all in all, they constitute THE FINEST, MOST
COMPLETE, AND MOST DESIRABLE ILLUSTRATED LIFE OF WASHINGTON
EVER PRODUCED.

" This edition of Mr. Jefferson's celebrated Notes was evidently printed in Paris; but as
Mr. Jefferson did not reach France until the year 1784, the date on the title probably is not
that of the year in which it was printed, but of the year in which the manuscript was completed. A copy presented to M. Malesherbe had the following note, in Mr. Jefferson's
handwriting.' Mr. Jefferson having had a few copies of these notes printed to present to
some of his friends, and to some estimable characters beyond that line, takes the liberty of
presenting a copy to M. de Malesherbe, as a testimony of his respect to his character.  Unwilling to expose them to the public eye, he begs the favour of M. de M. to put them into
the hands of no person on whose care and fidelity he cannot rely, to guard them against
publication.' "-Rich.
It is not known of how many copies the privately printed edition consisted; but they
were unquestionably very few, rendering it one of the SCARCEST BOOKS in the whole American collection.

The most extraordinary and valuable collection ever made of the narratives of a class of
men who, two centuries before what we term civilization, had prostrated the forests, explored the vast territories covered by them, recorded the peculiarities of the natives, and in
many instances bestowed upon them the blessings of Christianity. These relations, for many
years looked upon through the haze of sectarian distrust, were lightly esteemed by the students of American history, but the more their character and statements were investigated, the
more important and valuable they appeared. They have become the sources from which we
must draw almost all the historic material of New York and Canada, during the first century and a half of their exploration by Europeans. It was to perpetuate these monuments of
the early history of Canada, that Parliament ordered their publication in this form."- Field.

The six works next following, form a series of Answers &c. to <" Taxation no Tyranny."
They are uniformly bound, and each numbered at the bottom'of the back, in the order of
their publication.
" This tract claims its importance from the celebrity of its author. It was written in the
sixty-sixth year of his age, when he was at the meridian of his fame. Mr. Bancroft in his
seventh volume describes it at length as an exemplification of the tone of public sentiment
then prevailing in England. It called forth several replies, each of which is aimed at pointing out the fallacy that lurks in its title as well as in all its reasonings." - Y. R. Bartlett.
1088     [JOHNSON.]      Taxation, Tyranny.        Addressed to Samuel Johnson,

The style and argument of this performance deserve commendation, but in some cases
the author appears not to be well acquainted with facts in regard to the dispute.

This reply, "by way of parody," appears to be in general well conducted, and capable of
affording much entertainment, with some information.

"Perhaps no two pamphlets did more good to the American cause than Dr. Johnson's'Taxation no Tyranny,' and Mr. Wesley's'Calm Address,' both intended to have quite a
contrary effect from that which was produced by them. This arose from the numerous and
able answers which were immediately circulated by lovers of truth, and enemies to oppression,
in which the specious arguments of the ministerial hirelings were at once confuted and
shown in their true light."- Rich.

The object of the author seems to be to defend the "< Quebec Bill," which protects the
Canadians in the exercise of the Roman Catholic religion. The American Colonies classed
this Bill among their grievances. The author of the tract in question shows that many of
the colonies extended the same rights to Roman Catholics that the Quebec Bill did to the
Canadians.

This book was printed at Philadelphia, in I 692, by William Bradford, for which he was
imprisoned, upon the charge of "uttering and spreading a malicious and seditious paper."
His tools and type were taken away from him, and this was the beginning of the persecution
which afterwards drove him, with his printing, from Philadelphia to New York, in i693.

RARITY.
In a note to the only copy of this book which has ever been sold in New York (in 1845)
it is claimed that this is the FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN NEW YORK. In the following note, its
present owner has, we think, settled the question in favour of Philadelphia.
Doubts have been entertained whether this volume was really printed at Philadelphia, on
the ground that the printer having suffered imprisonment for printing and publishing " An
Appeal" would not likely have ventured to issue a work of this character there and thereby
subject himself to a probable recurrence of farther difficulty with the Authorities.  It has
been surmised that the tract might have been printed at New York, but in that case Bradford could have had no possible reason for withholding his name from the title page.  On
the other hand, our printer, having been discharged from arrest and had his press restored to
him by Gov. Fletcher on the sole ground of his having been imprisoned for "a religious
difference," could not have had any misgivings whatever respecting the publication of a bare
recital of the trial and its attendant circumstances, with its present imprint.  Nor was
one of his resolute character, smarting under what he conceived to be an outrage and a
wrong, likely to suspend its publication during the five months which elapsed between the
termination of his trial, and his settlement at New York.
It is a tract of the greatest possible rarity; of much historical interest in connexion with
the earliest efforts to establish the press in the middle colonies; and gives a very curious and

This rare tract is wholly occupied by Keith's account of his public recantation from, and
denouncement of Quakerism, under the patronage, and protection of the Rev. Evan Evans,
the then Minister of Christ Church, and Rector of Philadelphia. The proceedings became
so turbulent, that Keith and his newly acquired friends, were turned out of the Meeting-house
in which they assembled, into the street; while the Quaker mayor, William Shippen, fearing a breach of the peace, sent "the constable " also a quaker, "with his constables staff" to
disperse them, which he did; an act that caused much animadversion at the time.

This is a series of EIGHT of these EXCEEDINGLY RARE productions of BRADFORD'S PRESS,
embracing the years I731.'32.'33.'37.'38.'39.'42. and I743., uniform in size and binding, and in the finest condition. A remarkable instance of the well known thrifty habit of
the printer occurs in that for the year 1738; a portion thereof being printed upon paper one
side of which having previously been used, the printed sides were pasted face to face, and
the sheets of the Almanack printed on the blanks.  These have been carefully separated by
Mr. Bedford, and exhibit a curious example of printing-house economy. In that for 1739,
in May, is found the often quoted entry, "the printer born the zoth, I663." which, notwithstanding the inscription (I660) upon his tomb-stone, is now generally admitted to have
been the date of his birth.  It would be very difficult, if indeed it were possible, to obtain
a MORE DESIRABLE, FINER, or MORE INTERESTING SPECIMEN of BRADFORD'S PRESS than these
HANDSOME LITTLE VOLUMES present.

" This very curious collection of poetical hagiologies is selected from the well-known
Auchinleck MS. supposed to have been written in some North of England Monastery about
the latter end of the xIIIth or commencement of the xivth century.  It contains the following
legends: —Pope Gregory; St. Margaret; St. Katherine; Mary Magdalen; Joachim and
Anne; and Our Lady's Mother. Only 40 copies were printed, under the editorial care of W.
Turnbull, Esq.
This is the book the extraordinary preface to which has been so often quoted in reference
to the case of Mr. Turnbull, both in the House of Lords and Commons. The dedication
is To the' memory of Peter Ribadeneira of the Society of Jesus.' In his remarks on the
state of the MS. the editor says,' It has been sadly mutilated by some sacrilegious hand for
the sake of the illuminations. Would to God that for his pains the Vandal had been served
after a similar fashion, and been qualified to chant shrill treble within the choir of the
Sistine chapel.'"

"On my return from Congress," says John Adams, "in November, 1774, I found the
Massachusetts Gazette teeming with political speculations, and Massachusettensis shining
like to the moon among the lesser stars. I instantly knew him to be my friend Sewell, and
was told he excited great exultation among the Tories, and many gloomy apprehensions
among the Whigs."
Notwithstanding this positive statement it is now ascertained that these letters were written by Daniel Leonard of Taunton.

It is of the highest interest in connection with the liberty of the press in New England.
Checkley was prosecuted at the Inferior Court in Boston, in 1724, for publishing and
selling this book, which was called, "a false and scandalous libel, tending to draw into dispute his present Majesty's title to the Crown, scandalizing the ministers of the gospel, established by law in this Province; falsifying the Holy Scriptures, representing the Church
of Rome as the present Mother Church; and tending to raise divisions, jealousies and animosities among his Majesty's loving subjects of this Province."  He was convicted but
appealed to the Superior Court, where, after a long speech in his own defence, the jury
brought in a verdict against him. The Court sentenced him to pay a fine of ~50 to the
King, and to give two sureties in the sum of ~Xoo for his good behavior for six months.

These volumes, the most elegant of their class, merit a passing notice.  They are not
mere reprints of the rare and valuable works whose titles they bear, as each work has a copious introduction, and is profusely annotated by an eminent New England scholar. The

that being the only one issued when the work was stopped.
Their Titles are briefly as follows:

Each article of the Declaration of Independence is carefully examined and every assertion
disputed.  In a short "review " at the end of the volume, the author thus expresses himself. "The opinions of the modern Americans on Government, like those of their good
ancestors on witchcraft, would be too ridiculous to deserve any notice, if like them, too
contemptible and extravagant as they be, they had not led to the most serious consequences."

It was purchased at the sale of E. B. Corwin's Library, and although it cannot claim to
be the earliest example of printing in the Colony of New York, it is certainly
THE FIRST BOOK PRINTED IN NEW YORK
that has come under our notice, or of which we have any account. It is a reprint of an
English work, a copy of which was described in one of Mr. Thorpe's catalogues some years
ago.

" This inestimable book, a treasure of all the learning respecting the East and West-Indies
and the navigation thither, at the end of the sixteenth century, has been in the highest
esteem for nearly a century, and was given to each ship sailing to India, as a log-book.
Hence the many editions (6 in Dutch, 3 in French, and I in Latin), which is also the cause
whyfine copies, especially with all the plates and maps, are so very rare. A large part of
the book is occupied by translations of original Spanish and Portuguese documents on geography, ethnography, statistics, navigation, etc., and in these respects it is of the highest importance and authority. The description of America occupies pages 17 to 82 of the third
part."- F. Muller.

It is a mistake to suppose that this excellent book is superseded by that recently published
in two small volumes, as the latter omits several passages in the text, and contains merely a
selection from Chalmers's most valuable and interesting notes. The author was Lion King-atArms under James V. The estimate in which he is held at the present day, after the lapse
of nearly three centuries have fallen on his unknown grave, may be given in the following
lines of Scott:"Still is thy name of high account,
And still thy verse has charms -

" Although the title indicates the intention to bring the history down to the date of publication, the narrative is suspended with the declaration of peace in I783. Both volumes
are largely devoted to the history of the border warfare with the Creeks and Cherokees.
Numerous incidents relating to the savages of these nations, and their sanguinary attacks
upon the frontiers, with sketches of their chiefs, and of the loyalist refugees who led them,
are narrated. These were derived in many instances directly from the lips of some of the
survivors of these bloody scenes, from manuscripts, or from printed documents, no longer
accessible to the student of history."- Field.

3 vols., folio, half red levant morocco extra, full gilt backs, morocco joints, gilt top, UNCUT, by
W. MATTHEWS. A SPLENDID SET of the ORIGINAL ISSUE.
As early as I824, the practice was begun of taking portraits of the principal Indians who
came to Washington, and depositing them in the War Department. Under the management of Col. M'Kinney, Superintendent of Indian Affairs, the number rapidly increased, till
a very interesting gallery was formed. They were chiefly painted by Mr. King, an artist of
high repute, who has been remarkably successful in transferring to his canvas the strong
lineaments of the Indian countenance. Col. M'Kinney conceived the plan of making this
rare and curious collection more valuable to the world by publishing a series of engraved portraits exactly copied and colored from these paintings.  With each portrait is connected a
biographical sketch of the individual whom it is intended to represent, interspersed with
anecdotes and narrations. The work contains also a historical account of the various Indian
tribes within the borders of the United States.

removed about the year I635 and assisted in laying the foundation of a new colony. After
the Pequot War, in which he took a prominent part, he was appointed by the Governor of
Connecticut, Major-General of all their forces, which office he continued to hold till his
death. He was elected Deputy-Governor of the Colony in i66o, which place he held for
ten years. He died at Norwich in I672 or 1673, at the age of 72.

" To those who are interested in the early history of our country, it may be well to remark, that for accuracy in historical occurrences they will do well to rely upon other authorities; but if they wish to obtain a general view of the state of society and manners, they
will probably nowhere find so many materials for this purpose, as in the work of this pedantic and garrulous writer."

"In this singular publication, which is a close translation of the Hebrew, Dr. Mather has
not only disregarded the modern practice of breaking the lines, whether rhymed or not, but
he has run out (to use a printer's phrase) the whole matter; so that while each psalm looks
exactly like prose, and may be read as such, it is, in fact, modulated so that it may be sung
as lyric verse.
The learned Doctor says that in the' twice seven versions' which he has seen, the authors' put in as large an Heap of poor Things, which, are intirely their own, - meerly for
the sake of preserving the Clink of the Rhime; Which after all is of small consequence unto
a Generous Poem; and of none at all unto the Melody of Singing."
The following extract from the xxiii. Psalm is a specimen of the translation and arrangement.   By omitting the words in BLACK LETTER the verse is adapted to short metre.' The Director of the Psalmody, need only say.  Sing with the 3BIatc t  etter, or sing without the 3ladtt eitter, and the tune will be sufficiently directed.
I. My Shepherd is th' ETERNAL God: I shall not be in [aIll] want: [

"Hereby hangs a funny tale.  About the year 1714, Cotton Mather in Boston was
dubbed with F.R.S., a trinity of capitals which flattering his vanity he adopted and wore,
though somewhat against his previous teachings in regard to worldly distinctions. The first
of his 383 books that came out after the receipt of this polished handle bore F.R.S. after his
name, much to the astonishment of his rivals, and amusement of his fellow citizens. He
immediately wrote to the Secretary of the Royal Society thanking him, and continued through
life to be an active correspondent, all but the first letter being still preserved by the Society.
The letter of thanks, however, for some reason never got among the records, but eventually
fell among autograph-mongers, and found its way to New York. Some, in the Doctor's
lifetime, said he had been hoaxed, and never was really elected, while others, and among
them his son, manfully contended that he was really one of the Philosophers. This book
was written during the controversy to show that he was both competent and willing to be
an F.R.S. To this day the question is not settled- Was Cotton Mather an F.R.S.? There
is nothing in the Society's records to show it, though the names of a dozen other Americans
are recorded. "  Stevens.

" The very curious history of this memoir deserves attention from all students of American history. At the surrender of Fort Necessity by Washington, his Journal of the Expedition, together with the letters of Braddock to the British Ministry, and his instructions to
Washington, were seized by the French victors. They were immediately transmitted
to France, and by order of the French king, printed and sent to every court of Europe,
as indicating the aggressive character of the British.  From evidence drawn from these docu

ments, they charge Washington with the murder of Jumonville. This was the second
publication of any of Washington's writings, and the first notice the public had of his
Journal. It was translated and printed in New York, in I757, under the title of A Memorial,
etc., and the same year in Dublin under the title of Review of Military Operations in N. A.,
and Journal of Major Washington. It is very clear from the French relation that Jumonville was approaching Washington on an embassy of peace, but that Washington, unwilling
to trust him, had ordered his advance to be fired upon."- Field.

In the preface to those "Minutes," it is stated that they were " discovered (on the late
capture of New York by the British troops) among the papers of a person who appears to
have been Secretary to the Committee." They relate to a conspiracy against Congress, and
particularly against Washington, whom the conspirators proposed to carry off.
"A Mr. Matthews," says the Monthly Review, " who was prominent in the conspiracy,
was condemned to suffer death, but Congress resolved to postpone the execution of the sentence, and ordered him to be carried into Connecticut, there to be imprisoned till further
orders."
The work contains some curious scandal about Washington, and Mary Gibbons, "a girl
from New Jersey, of whom General Washington was very fond, and whom he maintained
genteelly at a house near Mr. Skinner's."

old stories over and over again.  I am informed that both of them tell coarse stories. I
don't heed them, it was the custom of their time as it is of Highlanders and Hottentots to
dispense with a part of dress which we all wear in cities."- IW. M. Thackeray.

These letters, purporting to have been written by so distinguished a man as the Governor
General of Canada, the last of them but a few days before the fall of Quebec and the death
of both Generals Montcalm and Wolfe, have attracted great interest, while their genuineness has been suspected. But " it has been reserved," says Mr. Henry Stevens in an extended note on the subject, " for Mr. Francis Parkman, the historian, in I869, to settle
almost to a demonstration that the Montcalm letters are forgeries."

A book of such EXTREME RARITY that Mr. Frederik Muller the eminent bookseller of Amsterdam remarks " Although this book is printed in my native place, Amsterdam, I have never seen nor heard of it here."  We know of ONLY ONE OTHER COPY in the
United States. It is interspersed with Poems by various authors, including one by Ben
Jonson not included in his works.
Its author, who appears to have possessed a jovial, and somewhat roystering temperament,
found himself ill associated with the puritanical founders of New England. Allen says of

him that, he fell into great licentiousness, and became the lord of misrule;" he supplied
the Indians with arms, that they might hunt for him, and was by this means, perhaps, an
instrument in endangering the safety of the colonists. On the occasion of giving to Pasonagessit the name of Maremont, under his auspices, a pine-tree eighty feet in height, with
buck's horns at the top, was planted in the ground, around which the company danced with
such hilarity, as the good cheer they had not failed to provide inspired; much to the dissatisfaction of the stricter colonists, by whom he was for this offence sent out of the colony
as a prisoner. Mr. Duyckinck remarks, that although the book professes to have been
printed at Amsterdam, it was probably executed in London. Morton returned to the colonies after its appearance, and was imprisoned in Boston for a year, ostensibly on account of
the libel it promulgated against the colonies.

many other philosophers, he would have sung a different tune. Lest these sentiments, so
repugnant to British feeling, might give to the book a baleful influence, a neutralizing appendage by another hand is added, combating the Prince's facts, inferences and opinions." —

Thomas Prince thus speaks of this work: " In I720 came out Mr. Neal's History of
New England, which I was glad to see, and pleased with both his spirit, style and method.
And though be has fallen into many mistakes which are commonly known to us, some of
which he seems to derive from Mr. Oldmixon's New England;... yet considering the materials this worthy writer was confined to, and that he was never here; it seems to me
scarce possible, that any under his disadvantages should form a better. In comparing him
with the authors from whence he draws, I am surprised to see the pains he has taken to put
the materials in such a regular order: And to me it seems as if many parts of his work cannot be mended."- Chronology of New England. Pref. p. iii.

Plain Truth "is written with such outrageous zeal, and contains so many scurrilous reflections against the author of' Common Sense' and the supposed favorers of independency,
that we may safely conclude, from its having been printed in Philadelphia, that the congress

Mr. Paine was no admirer of Washington and thus addresses him: "Elevated to the
chair of the Presidency, you assumed the merit of everything to yourself; and the natural
ingratitude of your constitution began to appear. You commenced your presidential career
by encouraging and swallowing the grossest adulation; and you travelled America from one
end to the other to put yourself in the way of receiving it. You have as many addresses in
your chest as James the Second. As to what were your views, for you are not great enough
to have ambition, though you are little enough to have vanity, they cannot be inferred from
expressions of your own; but the partizans of your politics have divulged the secret."  He
also attacks the military skill of Washington.

I was reluctant to go back to old style printing, but the patron of this work, Hon. J. V.
L. Pruyn, at whose expense it was issued, induced me to import the types from Caslon of
London, the American founders being then deficient of an assortment, and workmen being
unacquainted with the peculiarities of the style of work, I set up all the types with my own
hands. It was the forerunner of what I termed my "Historical Series."- Munsell.

"The charm which Mr. Parkman's books assert on the attention of every reader, is not
wholly derived from the pleasing style of his writing. His perfect knowledge of Indian life
and manners, acquired by personal experience, and his exhaustion of the literature of his
subject, as it is found in printed works, unedited manuscripts, and authenticated tradition,
give new interest to the subjects of which he treats."- Field.

"The narrative of Pattie's expedition and captivity has more than the ordinary interest
and value, which attaches to the stories of adventurers. He crossed the continent of America on a route which his party were the first to pursue. He encountered tribes of Indians
who then saw a white man for the first time, and his narrative has the merit of being given

perilous expedition, the frightful extremities to which his party were reduced, the fights
with the savages, and his final capture, are all narrated with spirit and candor."- Field.

finest state of preservation, mounted on tinted leaves, and ruled. A fragment of WASHINGTON'S COFFIN, from the old vault at Mount Vernon, duly authenticated, is attached to the

This very interesting collection, relating, as it does, entirely to a single important historical object, and forming a galaxy of the autographs of the most illustrious of the great and
good men of the period of the Revolution, possesses a value far beyond that of a mere collection of autograph letters, inasmuch as many of the writers minutely describe the countenance, features, person and character of Washington; the circumstances under which they
met him; some in the field  others under the hospitable roof of Mount Vernon; and relate
interesting reminiscences of the events which brought them into his presence. The volume
was arranged by the eminent artist himself, and accompanied him during his lecturing tours
throughout the United States. It consequently exhibits some exterior evidence of use, although in most excellent preservation.
A UNIQUE WASHINGTONIAN MEMORIAL.

"( This journal is the sequel to that printed by Charles Thompson, Secretary to the Continental Congress, in his Enquiry into the Causes of the Alienation of the Delaware and Shawanese Tribe of Indians. It exhibits in a still stronger light the intrepidity and self-devotion
of this noble Quaker. Since the days of Regulus no more perilous mission has been undertaken by a single man. Braddock had been defeated, and eight hundred white soldiers
slain. Forbes was preparing for his invasion of the Indian territory.  Pitiless massacre
reigned on both sides. Rewards that would have tempted all the fierce borderers a year
before, were offered in vain, until Christian Post, rejecting all offers of compensation, and
solely for peace and mercy's sake, set out upon his mission. Every step through the
wilderness, the most appalling dangers thickened around him. A hundred times were
savage arms raised to destroy him, and a hundred times by little less than miracles, the
blows were averted." Field.

A republication of Evans's map and analysis of 1755, with improvements and additions.
Governor Pownall says that " a pirated copy of Evans's map, was in a most audacious manner, published by Jeffreys, and falsely sold as Evans's map improved, by which that very
laborious and ingenious, but poor man, was deprived of the benefit of his work.  Owing to
the ignorance of the engraver it can scarcely be called a copy, and, as respects the face of
the country, might as well be a map of the moon."

A presentation set to Baron Albenslabor, the manuscript inscription to whom, occupies
nearly an entire page. The "Memorial to the Sovereigns of Europe," which was published
anonymously, in this copy has Mr. Pownall's autograph signature at the end of the text.
The Memorial to the Sovereigns of Europe which presupposes the independence of America,
the editor says " was written by a gentleman lately deceased, who, from some misfortune in his personal relations, left England and took up his residence in the Azores."  " It
is written," says the Monthly Review, "with so much clearness of information and strength
of argument, that it is probably the work of some eminent master, who chooses to conceal
himself behind a peculiar style and a fictitious tale."

"In the reproduction of this quaint volume every word, every letter, and indeed every
point has been sedulously collated with a perfect impression of the original work struck at
Cambridge in the year I640. Indeed, so exact and faithful has the compositor been in following the original copy, that the bad spacing, omission of spaces, irregular justification, bad
divisions, broken type, letters inverted, mixed lower-case letters with italics, and typographical errors are strictly reproductions of the printer's errors of the olden time."- Preface.

Henry Stevens of London, to the British Museum for one hundred and fifty guineas.

Concerning the "Thoughts," Mr. Stevens remarks, "this is a well written and fair
statement of the case as to whether or not the Americans were aiming at Independence from
1754, and how the difficulty may now be settled without a separation. Dr. Franklin's
celebrated letters to Gov. Shirley, afterwards in 1766 printed in London, are given in the

very estimable on a national, and I may add, a religious account."

collections of Voyages which has ever appeared, valuable alike for the abundance of its
materials and its importance in the history of Early Discoveries, especially those of the English."- Biographie Universelle.

the battle of Trenton, Gen. Reed was so much depressed by the sad state of American affairs
as to meditate withdrawing from the service. This assertion Gen. Reed denies, and Gen.
Cadwallader defends, in very heated and bitter language. The dispute was revived on the
publication of the ninth volume of Mr. Bancroft's history.
See Reed (W. B.) in " Bancroftiana."  No. 114. Also: Mrs. Warren's "American
Revolution." Chap. xII.

1715      [ROGERS (Major Robert.) THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY
OF THE SEIGE OF DETROIT, IN THE WAR WITH PONTIAC. Also, a
Narrative of the Principal Events of the Siege. I763-65.]
Sm. 4t0, 213 pages. Original binding, in a moroccopull-off case, lettered. IN FINE CONDITION,
and PERFECT PRESERVATION.
From this Precious Historical Manuscript written by the hand of the redoubtable Major
himself, the Fourth Volume of " MUNSELL'S HISTORICAL SERIES " was prepared under the
editorial care of Dr. Hough, who thus describes it. " The Diary printed in the following
Pages, we believe to be now for the first time published, and although its Author is unknown,
we have Reason to infer from several Allusions to himself, and References to other Records
kept along with it, that he was the Secretary of the Commandant, and that he was fully in
his Confidence. The Manuscript is all in one Hand-writing, and is written upon about half
a dozen Sizes of Paper, which were evidently in loose Sheets at the Time, and have since
been bound in one Volume. It was purchased from a Book-seller in London, and its former
Owner had begun to print it; but finding, after getting through thirty-two pages, that the
Sheets had not been bound in Chronological order, the Enterprize was abandoned, until it
cameinto the Hands of the Publisher of the present Series.  It bears conclusive Evidence of
Authenticity, and is believed to offer new and valuable Contributions to our Knowledge of
the Events to which it relates."  The thirty-two pages alluded to as having been printed by
a former owner accompany the Manuscript.
The Journals of Major Rogers published in 1765, terminate with February, I76I, and
contain no allusion to the events recorded in this manuscript. There is, therefore, but little
doubt that it was designed, that this diary should form a portion, if not the whole, of the
Continuation to which Major Rogers alludes in the Advertisement at the end of his Journals
above referred to.
1716      ROGERS.      Journals    of Major Robert         Rogers: Containing        An
Account of the several Excursions he made under the Generals who
commanded upon the Continent of North America, during the Late
War. From which may by (sic) collected The most material Circumstances of every Campaign upon that Continent, from the Commencement to the Conclusion of the War.

" The journals of this celebrated partisan chief afford us many interesting details of border
warfare, in the French and Indian War, which ended seventeen years before the Revolution.
It was while associated with Rogers that General Putnam is said to have experienced those
wonderful adventures, with the relation of which our youthful nerves have so often thrilled.
It is however remarkable, that Major Rogers does not even mention the name of Putnam.
The last page (237), is unnumbered and entitled,' Advertisement.' It announces a continuation, or second part of the journal, which never appeared, as the subscriptions of a
guinea a copy were probably not sufficiently numerous."- Field.

" This historical essay by the famous partisan officer and Indian fighter, although by no
means equal to his Journal in interest, is not without merit. In the' Concise Account' of
the several colonies, he mingles many particulars of the Indian nations, but its especial interest is to be found in the section of this volume devoted to the' Customs, Manners, and
Government of the Indians,' pp. 205 to 264. These relations are the result of his own
personal experience among the savages."- Field.

the frontispiece, the dedication to John Ellis, and 3 full page maps. Crushed blue levant morocco, edges gilt on carmine, by F. BEDFORD. A LARGE, FINE and PERFECT COPY
of this EXCESSIVELY RARE BOOK, with many rough leaves.
This extremely rare work is so seldom found in any other than a fragmentary condition,
that we are unable to refer to the full collation of any complete copy. No copy has ever
been found with either of the whole sheet Maps, and all are more or less deficient in the
number of Plates referred to in the title page. From the arrangement and tenor of the title,
as well as from the sense of the " advertisement," at the end of the volume, we are clearly
of opinion, that it was the author's design to distribute the " twelve copper plates, And
Two whole Sheet Maps " throughout the two volumes into which he intended to divide the
work; hence we do not hesitate to pronounce the present a perfect copy as well as thefinest
one within our knowledge.
The work was issued in the following year with an abridged title, less preliminary matter,
and without the Appendix, but the text in the body of the work is the same in both editions.  In the " Advertisement," above referred to, the author announces his intention to
issue a second volume, to be accompanied by maps, adding, that " it is now in the press."
It does not appear, however, that it ever was published.  The plates are curious specimens
of early Continental engraving; they were drawn and etched by Romans himself, who
throughout the book uses a small i for the personal pronoun.
" This rare book contains an engraved dedication to Ellis the Naturalist, and six other
plates etched by the author. Another copy with the date 1775, and called Volume I., has
an appendix of 89 pages and 3 Maps."-Rich. I. 467.

Apparently privately printed. " In July last the following letter was transmitted to the
person to whom it is addressed, and a few weeks ago it was returned under cover, without a
syllable in reply. As children that are crammed with confectionary, have no relish for
plain and wholesome food  so men in power, who are seldom addressed but in the sweet
tones of adulation, are apt to be disgusted with the plain and salutary language of truth. To
offend was not the intention of the writer; yet the president has evidently been irritated;
this however is not a bad symptom, for irritation causelessly excited, will frequently subside
into shame, and to use the language of the moralist' where there is yet shame, there may
in time be virtue.' Liverpool, February 20th, 1797."- Extract.

a firmness of outline and vividness of colouring that will bring it before the imagination with

additional charm in them, that the intellect and heart are sure to be gratified by profound
thoughts and noble sentiments."- Literary Gazette.

" To Mr. Ruskin art has a deep moral and religious significance, both in its uses and in

thought of a human intellect and the voice of a human heart.  He seems to kiss the very

Mr. Field remarks: " the mystery which surrounded the authorship, history, and origin of
this very rare volume, has been slowly dispelled by successive fragments of information.  So
few copies have survived the holocaust to which it was devoted, that its very existence was
unknown to the most zealous collectors of Indian and Vermont history. Published anonymously, without preface, it was known to but few that the author was the Rev. Daniel
Clark Sanders, President of the University of Vermont  Immediately after its appearance,
some person, evidently a personal enemy of the author, published an acrimonious critique upon
the book, in the Liberal and Philosophical Repository.  The animus of the critic was evidenced, not only by the bitterness of his language, but by his ignorance of the subject of
Indian wars, being more profound than that of the author of the book he scored. Such was
the effect of the article upon either Mr. Sanders, or the publishers, that the work was
suppressed.  But very few copies could have escaped the hands that were now as zealous to
destroy, as they had lately been to create.  In fact, so nearly complete was the destruction
of the book, that it was forgotten by those who professed to know most of its author, his
biographers. Neither Thompson, Williams, nor Hemmenway, who published memoirs of
Sanders mention his authorship of the Indian wars."

" It is well known that, during our Revolutionary War, a very large part, if not an
actual majority, of the American people remained more or less attached to the cause of the
Crown. And considering how much of the education and intelligence of the community
was included in their ranks, it will not be surprising to find that the Loyalists of that day
were far from remiss in their efforts to vindicate their own conduct, or to attack that of their
opponents. But as from the outset, with very rare exceptions, the press over all the continent was in the hands of the Whigs, they were thus shut out for the time from the popular
ear; and since the close of the struggle, their literary productions have sunk into oblivion.
Nevertheless, much of the Loyalist poetry of that season possesses a degree of vigor and of
real merit worthy of a better cause and a better fate; and Mr. Sargent has rendered an acceptable service in rescuing it from neglect."

" This great work is a complete Thesaurus -an overflowing treasury of knowledge, respecting the Aborigines of America. It embraces their history, ethnography, antiquities, and
languages; their ancient and modern geography; their manners and customs, religion and
superstitions; their agriculture, commerce, and trade; their ornamental arts, and their physical and intellectual peculiarities.  All these subjects are treated, not in a general and
summary manner, but in detail, each topic being patiently and thoroughly discussed and
exhausted; the work, although mainly executed by the author's own hand, having received
the contributions of many savans thoroughly conversant with particular subjects embraced
in its pages. The result is such a work as could have been produced in no other way. It
is the most complete and thorough collection of treatises relating to the Indians, and comprises also the only general history of the aboriginal race, which has ever been published.
It is a Library of Indian history and ethnography, and embraces within itself the substance
of all that is known concerning the tribes as tribes, and the race as a race. To the scholar,
the historian, the statesman, and the philologist, such a work is indispensable. No public
or well appointed private library can be considered complete without it; and the general
reader who wishes for satisfactory and reliable information about the Indians as they are at
the present time, or as they have been at any previous period since America was discovered,
must have recourse to these volumes. The illustrations of the Archives are executed in the
most complete and finished style, literally' without regard to expense;' and, as a whole,
they comprise one of the proudest monuments of American art."

Walter Scott, where he refers to, or quotes, the various books in the library.
" The nature and extent of the collection throw light in a remarkable manner on the
history of its founder. The reader has before him a faithful inventory of the materials with
which the National Poet and Novelist had stored his mind before he began his public career,
and of the zeal with which he watched the progress of literary enterprise down to the close
of his life."

Seneca Indians. Its truthfulness is vouched for by such veracious testimony as that of Eli
Parker, an educated chief of that nation, though its authenticity can scarcely have greater
corroboration than the fact that Mr. Seaver received almost the whole mass of incidents
narrated in his book, directly from the lips of the aged captive herself. A portion of the

This SPLENDID SET bound from parts as originally issued, without admixture of any kind,
and with BRILLIANT and PERFECT IMPRESSIONS of the TWELVE HUNDRED ENGRAVINGS on wood,
contains FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY inserted PORTRAITS, SUBJECTS AND VIEWS of the finest
description; nearly ALL of which are PROOFS, INDIA PROOFS, and INDIA PROOFS BEFORE
LETTERS j forming a perfect galaxy of the beautiful in art. The plates from the HARDING
SERIES are a selection from a complete LARGE PAPER PROOF SET, the BEST of which only
were taken. Those of the " Heroines of Shakspere," are also GENUINE PROOFS, imported
expressly for use in this set. RUBRICATED TITLE PAGES were printed specially for the Biography, with a beautifully ENGRAVED INDIA PROOF VIGNETTE mounted in each.
These elegant volumes, together with" CLARKE'S CONCORDANCE," and FAIRHOLT'S HOME,"
(which follow), all uniformly bound, and ranging in size, form a truly MAGNIFICENT
and probably UNRIVALLED SET of the works of him "who was not of an age, but for
all time."
L' In this Splendid Edition the text is derived from a most laborious and careful collation
of the early editions, with all that the best and most extensive modern Shaksperian criticism
has discovered. The notes are copious and thoroughly elucidatory of obscure words and
phrases, and of the sources of the plays, the historical characters, &c. The engravings are
mostly from actual things, and are not mere fancy pictures. The biography of Shakspere is
the best yet written of him, and the studies of the characters of the plays and the accounts
of the plots are written with feeling as well as with critical acumen."

" After such conscientious examination of his work as the importance of it demands 
after a painful comparison, note by note, and reading by reading, of his edition with those of
Messrs. Knight, Collier, and Dyce, our opinion of his ability and fitness for his task has
been heightened and confirmed. Not that we always agree with him -- but Mr. White
has generally shown so just a discrimination, that there are few instances where we dissent.
We have subjected his volumes to a laborious examination, such as few books receive, because the text of Shakespeare is a matter of common and great concern, and they have borne
the trial, except in a few impertinent particulars, admirably. Mr. Dyce and Mr. Singer are
only dry commonplace-books of illustrative quotations; Mr. Collier has not wholly recovered from his' corr. fo.' madness; Mr. Knight (with many eminent advantages as an
editor) is too diffuse  and we repeat our honest persuasion, that Mr. White has thus far
given us the best extant text, while the fullness of his notes gives his edition almost the
value of a variorum; and we think that a careful collation justifies us in saying that in acute
discrimination of westhetic shades of expression, and often of textual niceties, Mr. White is
superior to any previous editor."- Y. R. Lowell.

in Dr. Price's Observations, &c. are fairly examined and fully refuted. By John Shebbeare, M.D. With an Appendix on the excellent and admirable      in Mr. Burke's second printed speech of March

8vo, pp. 212.  Half morocco.  Presentation copy from the AUTHOR, with his PORTRAIT

Dr. Shebbeare's Essay was severely censured by the Monthly Review; it is alleged by the
reviewer that beside the objectionable character of his tenets, and his reasoning on them,




SHEPARD.                                    373

FINE COPY.
Two histories were published of this voyage. This was intended by the author as a vindication of his conduct, he having been accused of piracy and embezzlement. The other
was written by William Betagh who was roughly treated in Shelvocke's narrative, and, in
return, wrote with the design of exposing Shelvocke.
The author's relation of the discovery of gold is remarkable.  " The soil about Puerto
Seguro. a. I vely likely in most parts of the valleys), is a rich black mould, which, as you
turn it up fresh to the sun, appears as if intermingled with gold dust, some of which we endeavoured to wash and purify from the dust; but though we were a little prejudiced against
the thoughts that it could be possible that this metal should be so promiscuously and universally mingled with common earth, yet we endeavoured to cleanse and wash the earth from
some of it, and the more we did, the more it appeared like gold; but in order to be further
satisfied, I brought away some of it which we lost in our confusions in China."- Pages

The third of the series of books giving an account of the results of the English missions
among the natives. Small specimens of the Indian language are included. The work also
includes a long letter from Eliot, the Apostle of the Indians, who is described as already so
skilled in the Indian tongue that he preached regularly in it to the natives. It is otherwise
very interesting, because of the details which go to make up Eliot's biography, and to shew
the nature of his work among the Indians and their feelings with regard to him.

The authorship of this work has been ascribed to Thomas Hutchins who made the maps,
and with more propriety to Bouquet himself: the following extract, however, from a letter
from Dr. Smith, to Sir William Johnson, dated Philadelphia, I3th January, 1776, now in
the Library of Congress, seems to decide the question.  " I proposed sending you a copy of
Boquet's Expedition to Muskingam, which I drew up from some papers he favored me with,

thirteen battles at the hands of the Indians.  Colonel Bouquet by his judicious arrangements
first laid down the plan, in following which General Wayne secured the same result."Field.

The author, who was a zealous loyalist, lost his property during the war; and his work is
said to have been written to gain favour with the Government, by abusing the Americans
and magnifying his own losses. He narrowly escaped hanging by the Whigs on more than
one occasion, but lived to record many interesting particulars of the first days of the Revolution, together with many scandalous anecdotes relating to the public men of the time.

This copy contains the two leaves, subsequently printed, giving an account of the sale of
the edition at Auction, at the upset price of ~9. per set, "a result" says Mr. Sotheby, " unparalleled in the annals of literature."
One of the most important works ever produced upon the history of early printing, on
which it throws great additional light.  It contains an extended examination of the various
editions of the block books (or books printed from wooden blocks), the earliest productions
of the art, issued in Holland, Flanders, and Germany, such as the Apocalypsis S. Johannis,
Biblia Pauperum, Ars Moriendi, Cantica Canticorum, Liber Regum, Temptationes Daemonum, Ars Memorandi, Endkrist, Quindecim Signa, De Generatione Christi, Miribilia
Romae, etc.
It is not, however, confined to a history of block books, for it gives minute accounts, accompanied by exact fac-similes, of some of the most interesting and rare works
printed with movable type in the infancy of the art, such as the Donatuses, Doctrinale,
Catonis Disticha, Horarium, Facetia Morales, Speculum Humanae Salvationis, Bartolomaeus
van de Proprietaten der Dinghen, Exhortatio contra Turcos, Literae Indulgentiarum, etc.
An essay upon early paper marks, illustrated by numerous cuts, concludes the work, which
contains upwards of zo20 plates, many of them coloured, and more than 200 engravings on
wood.

9th, I539, addressed to the Justice and Board of Magistrates of Santiago de Cuba, is the
official account of the expedition.  The Memoir of Hernando de Escalente Fontaneda was
written in Spain about the year I575, and is endorsed in Spanish:' Memoir of the things,
the shore, and the Indians of Florida, to describe which none of the many persons who have
coasted that country have had sufficient knowledge.' These translations are followed by

"It is difficult to believe that two individuals were capable of such an astonishing amount of

by more than seventy large engravings, from drawings by Mr. Catherwood."-Field.

Stephenson was a quaker who came to New England in I659. He, together with
William  Robinson and Mrs. Mary Dyer, were arrested for preaching in Boston, and
banished thence under pain of death. Returning, they were again arrested; tried before
John Endicott, and by him sentenced to death. Stephenson and Robinson suffered the
penalty; Mrs. Dyer was reprieved while on the ladder with the halter on her neck. The
two men were refused the rites of burial, their bodies being stripped and thrown into a hole,
even the privilege of enclosing their grave being denied to their friends. It is difficult to
rise from a perusal of this tract without a feeling of intense indignation at the intolerant
bigotry and cruelty of the early puritans of New England.
The following is a reprint.

possess at that time. It was intended to supply the deficiencies by additional volumes, but
these have never appeared, and probably never will in this form."- Author.

" For five years... he had scouted through several States during his vacations, prospecting
in out of the way places for historical nuggets, mousing through town libraries and country
garrets in search of anything old that was historically new for Peter Force and his American
Archives. For himself and others he had tramped over many of the scenes of the Old
French War and the Revolution, at one time exploring Rogers' Slide, and at another descending, torch in hand, into the wolf-den of Old Put. From Vermont to Delaware many
an antiquated churn, sequestered hen-coop, and dilapidated flour barrel had yielded to him
rich harvests of old papers, musty books and golden pamphlets." [Author's Account of

The valuable original documents from which this history was compiled have recently been
destroyed by fire.  The appendix contains a collection of charters relating to the period comprised in the volume. Besides the copious materials of Stith, the author derived assistance
from the manuscripts of his uncle, Sir John Randolph, and from the records of the London
Company, put into his hands by Colonel William Byrd, President of the Council.
Notwithstanding the recent efforts of American bibliographers, the bibliography of this
subject remains in as much doubt and obscurity as ever. We briefly remark, that, there
are two varieties of the first edition, one on coarse, the other on fine paper, except signature
x which is more or less poor in both. Then we have another Williamsburgh edition of the
same date, but differing in several particulars.  Lastly comes the London edition of I753,
which is precisely like the second Williamsburgh issue. It is not at all unlikely that the
so-called London edition is the second Williamsburgh one with an English title page.

This valuable work, written and published in advance of the time, met with no favour,
and was quickly forgotten. Shortly after its issue the remainder of the edition was purchased,
on a venture, by the late W. Gowans and an associate, at twenty-five cents per volume in
the sheets, and an arrangement made with a bookbinder to put the stock into boards, the
whole of which, with the exception of a copy that Mr. Gowans had retained for himself,
was returned cut down almost to the head-lines  an incident to which Mr. Gowans never
referred without an emphatic expression of indignation.  This copy was bound from the sheets
so reserved, and which, for many years Mr. Gowans refused to exhibit, or to part with, at
any price. It is clean and fresh as when published, and there is no finer copy extant.

Mr. Field remarks: "This is the first dissertation in English, on that fertile subject of
controversy and hypothesis, the origin of the American Indians. The Puritans of New
England awoke to it with a zeal, untempered by the knowledge that keener intellects and
higher scholarship, had been stimulated by its attractive mystery a century before. They
seem to have been unaware that Las Casas, Torquemada, Garcia, and Herrera, Grotius, Horn,
and De Laet, had wrought the vein until all the metal was exhausted. But a new cycle of
disputation now commenced, and in 1652, Thorowgood's treatise was answered by Harmon
L'Estrange, in a tract entitled Americans no yews. London, 1652," Thorowgood made his
replication in the following work.

"The first work of Thorowgood printed in I650, was sharply answered by Harmon
L'Estrange. To recover the ground from which he had been driven, Thorowgood brought
to his aid the Indian apostle Eliot, and their essays are joined in this replication."-Field.

"That which raised him (Tickell) to immediate celebrity was his admirable political
pamphlet, called Anticipation; in which, with the most successful humour, he imitated the
manner of the principal speakers in parliament, and defeated the force of the arguments of
the opposition by pre-occupying them."-Chalmers' Biog. Dict.
It may not be uninteresting to add that Tickell believed in anticipation; he committed
suicide.

of his Celebrated Tracts relating to the American Revolution.]
7 vols., 8vo, half olive morocco, carmine edges; respectively numbered in the order of their
publication, at the bottom of the back of each.
" During the Revolutionary War, Dr. Tucker, attracted much attention by his pamphlets,
in which he asserted the policy of granting independence to the colonies, rather than to
attempt to subdue them by arms; and, though he was abused by the friends of the ministry
his deductions proved proverbially true."- Blake's Biog. Die.
The Tracts are entitled as follows:
I. Letter from a Merchant in London to his Nephew in North America, relating to the
Present Posture of Affairs in the Colonies...  London: 7. Walter. 1766.
PP. 55. PORTRAIT of the AUTHOR inserted.
Maintains the rights of Parliament over the colonies.
II. Four Tracts on Political and Commercial Subjects. The Third Edition.
Glocester: R. Raikes. I776.
pp. 224.
The second tract is entitled, "The Case of going to War." The third, " A Letter from
a Merchant in London to his Nephew in America."  The fourth, "The True Interest

of Great Britain set forth in regard to her Colonies; and the only means of living in Peace
and Harmony with them."   The third tract was first printed in the year 1766.
III. Tract V. The Respective Pleas and Arguments of the Mother Country, and of the
Colonies, distinctly set forth; and the Impossibility of a Compromise of Differences, or a Mutual Concession of Rights, plainly demonstrated. With a Prefatory Epistle, to the Plenipotentiaries of the late Congress at Philadelphia  Second Edition.                                   Glocester: R. Raikes. 1776.
pp. 60.
" The contents of this tract are so evidently the effusion of ill temper, that did they not
proceed from so respectable a character as the Dean of Glocester, we should have imagined
them solely intended as the vehicle of insinuations against the colonies, unjust in their nature
and malevolent in their design."- M. R.
IV. A Letter to Edmund Burke, Esq.; Member of Parliament for the City of Bristol, and
agent for the Colony of New York, &c. In answer to his printed Speech, said
to be spoken in the House of Commons on 22d of March, 1775. Second Edition, Corrected.                              Glocester: R. Raikes. I775.
pp. 58.
"Dr. Tucker here controverts many of Mr. Burke's arguments, and almost all his conclusions i and labours to support the expediency of his favorite plan of a separation between
Great Britain and the colonies in America; and the better to dispose the public to it, he
represents the colonists themselves as the most unprincipled, worthless, and detestable part
of mankind."- M. R.
V. An Humble Address and Earnest Appeal to those respectable personages in Great-Britain and Ireland, who by their great and permanent interest in Landed Property,
their Liberal Education, Elevated Rank, and Enlarged Views, are the ablest to
Judge, and the fittest to Decide, whether a connection with, or a separation
from the Continental Colonies of America, be most for the National Advantage, and the lasting benefit of these Kingdoms.  Glocester: R. Raikes. I775.
PP- 93In this Tract the Dean counsels the abandonment of the Colonists to themselves, they
being unworthy of the protection of the mother country, and calls the Monthly Reviewers
the agents and confederates of Dr. Franklin.
VI. A Series of Answers to certain Popular Objections, against Separating from the Rebellious Colonies, and Discarding them Entirely: being the Concluding Tract of
the Dean of Glocester on the Subject of American Affairs.
Glocester: R. Raikes. 1776.
pp. xxii., 16-113.
" In this tract the Dean endeavours, apparently without effect, to prove some former aspersions on the character of Dr. Franklin."- Rich.
VII. Cui Bono? Or Inquiry, what Benefits can arise either to the English or the Americans,
the French, Spaniards, or Dutch, from the greatest Victories or Successes in the
Present War, being a Series of Letters addressed to Monsieur Necker, late
Comptroller General of the Finances of France. Second Edition, Corrected.
With a Plan for a General Pacification.       Glocester: R. Raikes. 1782.
pp. 139.
A most interesting and curious volume. The Dean says, that no sooner shall the
Americans have established their independency, than they will be enslaved by their present rulers- the members of Congress - who will govern them with a rod of iron  the
moment they are at peace with England they will quarrel among themselves, and, with
the fury of famished wolves, they will endeavor to tear each other in pieces."

meat of the defendant, a butcher, and tendered to him certain paper money issued by act of

analysis of his life, extracts from rare books and unpublished documents, &c.; which the
Editor, as Brazilian Minister in Peru and Chili, had favourable opportunities of examining.
Everything that could be desired by any one who wishes to examine the matter thoroughly
will be found in Varnhagen's treatises, by which it appears conclusive that Vespucci saw the

Dibdin and Lowndes, together, refer to but four perfect copies, one of which is in the

Caxton, and recorded by Mr. Blades, all are imperfect, two copies only excepted.
" This translation from Voragine was made by the venerable father of English typography,
William Caxton, at the command of William Earl of Arundel. The first portion of the
work, containing the lives of the Old Testament saints, may be termed an abridged Bible,
and is extremely curious and interesting, as it may be considered the earliest English version of
the Bible allowed to be printed. The Genevan version, printed in 1560, from the peculiar
translation of Genesis iii. 7, is commonly called the' Breeches Bible,' but Caxton, nearly a
century before, had rendered that verse thus:' They toke figge leves and sowed them togyder for to cover their membres in maner of breches.' It may further be remarked that
Caxton made considerable alterations in, and additions to the work, in the lives of the English saints, particularly in the life of Thomas a Becket Archbishop of Canterbury, &c."

remarkable library and offered it in one lot, but without result; a renewed offer was made
with a new catalogue in 1831, but also in vain; a third catalogue, with the addition of only
8 books, was printed in I840. I have seen in other reports that Mr. Warden had formed 3
different collections of books and sold one after the other, but this applies to this one collection described in these 3 catalogues."-F. Muller.

WASHINGTON'S CORRESPONDENCE.                 425
2051
A MAGNIFICENT RELIC OF THE FATHER OF HIS COUNTRY.
WASHINGTON'S CORRESPONDENCE
WITH
GENERAL JOSEPH REED OF PENNSYLVANIA
DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
Comprising FIFTY-FOUR ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH LETTERS written and signed
by GENERAL WASHINGTON; seven excepted, which are in the handwriting
of his secretaries, HAMILTON, TILGHMAN, and others, but signed by himself; commencing at the time of his taking the command of the army at
Cambridge, and extending nearly throughout the whole period of the war of
the Revolution. They were written to Gen. Joseph Reed of Pennsylvania,
and wholly refer to the momentous events of that time; the successes
and reverses of the army, Arnold's Treason, Lee's Defection, Reed's Collusion with Lee, &c., and include the WHOLE of the CELEBRATED CAMBRIDGE LETTERS, twenty in number, written between October 3oth, I775,
and April I5th, 1776, in which, by his own hand, Gen. Washington has
noted every occurrence of interest which happened in his command during
that eventful period; including an extended JOURNAL OF THE SIEGE OF
BOSTON from the commencement of the American works on Lechmere's
Point, until the evacuation of the town by the British.
The letters, mostly written on foolscap paper, occupy upwards of two
hundred pages of an imperial quarto volume, elegantly bound in green
Levant morocco, gilt edges, by F. BEDFORD, with an inserted UNLETTERED
INDIA PROOF IMPRESSION of the full length portrait of WASHINGTON,
painted by Stuart, in the possession of, and PRIVATELY ENGRAVED for Mr.
James Lenox, by A. H. Ritchie. They are arranged, and mounted on
guards, in the best and most approved manner, by Mr. Bedford, are in the
finest possible state of preservation, and preceded by a TITLE PAGE and a
BRIEF SYNOPTICAL DESCRIPTION of the contents of each of them respectively, printed by Mr. Munsell, expressly for the collection. The signatures,
to four of the least important letters, which had been abstracted while in
Mr. Reed's possession, have been replaced with others obtained from original documents.
This invaluable collection remained with the Reed family for nearly a
century. It descended to the late Mr. William B. Reed, who, in consequence of some embarrassment in his affairs during the late civil war, sent

it to New York to be sold. An effort made to secure it for a public institution failed to succeed, upon which it passed into the possession of its
present owner.
In his " Reprint of the Original Letters of Washington to Joseph
Reed," Mr. Reed remarks: " The letters in question were part' of a
private correspondence, the most friendly and unreserved. Hence, in my
opinion, their value. Their true interest depends on being the exact
transcript of what the writers thought and wrote. It was the hearty,
familiar letter writing of two friends, between whom there had grown up,
in the daily and hourly intercourse of the same quarters in the' Rebel'
Camp, the most implicit, unsuspecting confidence. Mr. Reed was not
exactly, at the age of thirty-three, of that class of thoughtless young men
with whom it has been intimated Washington, himself but little over forty,
was surrounded.2 From June to October, I775, Washington and his' First Secretary' had occupied the same house, lived at the same table,
shared the same dangers and responsibilities, watched and counselled together as two men of affectionate unreserve are apt to do; and when they
were separated, the confidence was not interrupted, the unreserve not
broken; and Washington writing to Reed in Philadelphia, was as if
Washington were talking to Reed, in the anxious seclusion of the headquarters at Cambridge.  Such are these letters in their original form."
Referring to the CAMBRIDGE LETTERS, it is observed by Washington
Irving. " How precious are these letters, and how fortunate that the absence of Mr. Reed from camp should have procured for us such confidential outpourings of Washington's heart at this time of his great trial." 3
Thirty-three letters from this collection, were wholly or partially introduced by Mr. Sparks into the " Writings of Washington," with such unimportant verbal alterations in style and composition as, actuated by the
best and purest motives, he was led to make upon them, and such others,
as passed through his hands for insertion in that work. Hence arose the
unfounded charge of Lord Mahon that Mr. Sparks had " tampered with
the truth of history," a remark which led to an extended, animated and
interesting discussion on the subject, an event which would seem to have
been in some degree anticipated by Mr. Sparks, for in an ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH LETTER written by him to Mr. W. B. Reed, and which will be
found in this collection, he intimates that in case Mr. Reed should design
to print Washington's Letters to his grandfather, " it would be desirable
that our texts should be alike."
The following "Brief Synoptical Description," of these letters was
principally prepared by Mr. Reed. It conveys a very inadequate idea of
their varied and deeply interesting contents, a knowledge of which can
only be obtained from a perusal of the letters themselves, as nearly twenty
of them are believed not to have been published.

It rarely happens that an opportunity is presented to acquire the possession
of an autographic collection so absolutely UNIQUE in its character, so connected and complete in itself, exclusively treating of the important events
attendant upon the advent of a nation, written to one address, and by an
individual so prominent in the history of his country as is GEN. WASHINGTON;
and it is questionable, whether any other series of his correspondence possessing the same PRE-EMINENT HISTORICAL INTEREST and VALUE which this
collection will readily be acknowledged to possess, exists outside of the Department of State at Washington.

style and construction) that I had ever seen from his pen. They were evidently written in great
haste, in perfect confidence and without any thought that they would ever be published."

Rev. John Wesley's Celebrated Tract entitled " A Calm Address to
the American Colonies."]
I3 vols., I zmo, uniformly bound in half blue morocco, and numbered respectively at the
bottom of the back of each in the following order:
I. A Calm Address to our American Colonies. By John Wesley, M.A. A New Edition,
Corrected, and Enlarged.                   London: Robert Hawes. [1775.]
2Zmo, pp. 22.  Gilt top, UNCUT. PORTRAIT inserted.
"In the beginning of the war in America, Wesley's character imbibed a strong tincture
of politics: and two sermons he preached at this juncture, in the Foundry, and West Street
Chapel, from the views they contained of the conduct of the Government, and the antiministerial spirit which they breathed, were very remarkable. A gentleman happening to
ask what he then thought of the public measures, was answered,' What should I think?
Oppression will make a wise man mad.' This is sufficient to show that at that period, he
was decidedly averse to the war. Presently after, he changed his sentiments. His conversion was instantaneous; and what is most remarkable, in the history of this event, is,
that sudden as it was, it was absolute and complete. Converted himself, his next care was
to convert his brethren; and in this office, his zeal was indefatigable.  He not only carried
his sentiments into all companies, and made them the subject of almost every conversation,
but he eagerly displayed them in public; and the pulpit finished what the table began.
When Mr. Wesley changed his politics, and published his' Calm Address to the American
Colonies,' many copies were shipped for New York; a gentleman of that country, alarmed
for the safety of a people with whom he was connected, and trembling for the probable consequences, should a pamphlet of such a tendency pass into general circulation, laid violent
hands upon it, and destroyed or returned the whole impression; so that till a considerable
time after this transaction, scarcely any one had heard that such a piece had been published.
This incident was the salvation of Methodism in America."- Hampson's Life of Wesley. 11.
045-I48. III. 34-140.
" Perhaps no two pamphlets did more good to the American cause than Dr. Johnson's
"' Taxation no Tyranny," and Mr. Wesley's " Calm Address," both intended to have quite a
contrary effect from that which was produced by them."-Rich.

" Persecuted to the verge of destruction, without a dawn of relief, his humble fortune
ruined and his domestic happiness blasted," Wilkinson anticipated the publication of this
much of his Memoirs by way of vindicating his "aspersed honor."- See "Advertisement."
We know of two other copies only in existence. The late Peter Force was in the habit of
showing his copy of this volume as one of the modern rarities of his immense collection.
VII. Memoirs of My Own Times.    By General James Wilkinson.   Philadelphia: 18 6.
3 vols., 8vo, pp. xv., 855, (44) j 578, (260) 496, (54)  3 facsimiles, 8 folded sheets.
Atlas of 20 Diagrams and Plans, with Title and Explanations.  A VERY FINE COPY, quite
free from the stains which disfigure most sets of the work.
Inserted in this UNIQUE COPY are three curious and interesting letters of GENERAL WILKINSON, one in the first volume, dated at Philadelphia, April S5th, 1817, 2 pages quarto, relating
almost exclusively to these Memoirs.  The following is an extract.  " The subscription has
very far exceeded the impression of 500 copies struck off... I am barely able to send a dozen
copies to Savannah and the same number for Charleston. Another edition will be issued
with a continuation with which all subscribers will be supplied.... The copies of delinquent
subscribers have been sold at $I5 and sought for with great avidity.... You will find the
book written with perfect freedom, regardful only of truth,... here it is approved by all
parties and persons except official sycophants.  I have from General Dearborn, who has read
it, a highly approbatory & complimentary letter- he insists I must go on and tell truth to
our country of which they have been kept in the dark."
Another, in the second volume, dated at Fort Washington, June 24th, 1798, 4 pages
quarto, describes an interview with four nations of Indians headed by LITTLE TURTLE.
" They charged us with the murder of seven of their people on grounds too strong to be controverted."
That in the third volume dated at New Orleans September 9th, 1812, z pages quarto,
is addressed to Governor Holmes respecting the organization of the militia.  "I find a
great error has occurred.  Out of I500 stand of arms reported at Baton Rouge Colonel
Purdy informs me only 176 could be found fit for use."
Wilkinson's Memoirs comprehend many incidents and anecdotes of the Revolution little
known, with a more interesting and authentic account of the battle of Breed's Hill, the
siege of Boston, and the campaigns of 1776-77 than is elsewhere extant.

them is a rare and anonymous Tract written by Reverend Samuel Willard, of the Old South

"The propositions of the learned author in favor of the existence of a tribe of Welsh
Indians, are so well sustained by veritable evidence, and yet so positively known to be untrue,
that it makes us doubt the value of all ratiocination. He adduces the positive testimony of
more than twenty persons who had visited, or spoken with them in that language. Of all
the conjectures regarding the origin of the Indians, not one has been fortified by a tithe of
the absolute evidence of respectable authorities and witnesses Mr. Williams obtained, and
yet not a single scholar has been convinced. If such a cordon of impregnable proofs can be

originally designed for publication; and it was formerly consulted by the first compilers of

the editor (N. Webster) found it to contain many curious and interesting facts relating to
the settlement of Massachusetts and the other New England Colonies, and highly descriptive of the character and views of the first inhabitants. By consent of the descendants of

" This is perhaps the pertest, keenest, wittiest, stingingest little literary production that
New-England ever produced, and, we venture further to say, that no American document
of the kind, the Declaration of Independence alone excepted, (and we guess that Jefferson
had studied Wise,) so completely covers its field and engrapes its foe.  The occasion was a
grand one.  Certain New England Ministers, looking out with eyes too single upon their
own line of business, met in Boston as self-elected Delegates in an Association, on the 5th
of November, 1705, and issued sundry proposals for amending the New England Platform,
so as to give more efficiency to the Sacred Order of Men, as well as to improve the supplies
of loaves and fishes, but all put into plausible and proper ecclesiastical phrase. These Proposals were printed and well circulated throughout the country, and were well nigh swallowed
whole by the hungry Fishers-of-men. The poor fish were not consulted. But the Wise
old man of Ipswich kept the watch-tower and fell not asleep, so that the Camp was not
surprised. Taking for his motto, Titus I. 3, Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may
be sound in the faith, in I7o1 he came out with the first edition of this little book....
The book is very little known, but must ever stand out as a beacon of warning to aspiring
ministers."- Stevens.

volume with the following " address to the reader:"- " The materials of this Journal have
laid by me several years, expecting that some Landlooper or other in those parts would have
done it more methodically; but neither hearing nor reading of any such as yet, and I being

Dr. Zubly was a delegate from Georgia to the Constitutional Congress in I775-6, and
notwithstanding his "warmth for the Congress," he opposed separation from England, and
returned to Savannah, which his unpopularity soon forced him to leave.
