 TO GENERAL STAIUILNG, 
 
 Special Acfeiit U.S. TreaiUd-y in Eurupr.^ 
 
 Morleijs Hotel 
 
 Sir, — I desire to repeat to you in writing the 
 statements I made to you in conversation in I'cply to 
 your several inquiries. 
 
 I shall be glad to give any further information in 
 my power, and to verify all my statements by oath 
 — if this is preferred. 
 
 T understand the several inquiries and allegations 
 to be substantially as follows. 
 
 ^ L That a history of myself as a Bookseller and 
 Publisher would be acceptable. 
 
 IL That a list of my Customers and Consignees 
 in America would be acceptable. 
 
 IIL That it is alleged that I succeeded in getting 
 
 a fraudulent invoice through the New York Customs, 
 
 and that my consignments to the United States arc 
 
 supposed to be fraudulent in that the books are 
 
 > invoiced as liavino- been printed over twentv vears, 
 
 ^while they are known to have been printed within 
 
 "^the last five years. 
 
 1
 
 lY. That a list of l)ook,s invoiced by me as 
 having been printed over twenty years, but actually 
 printed within that period, is desired. 
 
 V. And finally, that by reason of the alleged 
 fraudulent character of the invoice of books con- 
 signed to Messrs. Thomas and Sons, the books were 
 seized for a violation of Section 2864 Revised 
 Statutes of the United States. 
 
 The accusations against me are so monstrous and 
 so untrue, that I find it almost beneath my dignity to 
 offer any defence. 
 
 My conduct ever since I was a man has been such 
 as to win the respect and confidence of most people. 
 Though I am wdiat is called in England "only a 
 tradesman/' the standard of my honour is as high as 
 that of the best in the land. The character of the 
 Chevalier Bayard, "Sans peur et sans reproche," has 
 been my ideal through life ; and to arraign me — 
 Bernard Quaritch — for fraud is as shocking to my 
 sense of propriety as if the established laws of nature 
 had been violated and reversed. 
 
 The United States' Government has my honour 
 upon trial. Whatever the result be, and how^ever 
 T should regret an adverse decision, I have full 
 confidence in the judgment of my American cus- 
 tomers, and do not doubt that they will all stand by 
 me, and continue to believe in me. In the days of 
 A/'.tos (hi la fi the Inquisitors could burn those 
 whom thc\- looked upon as heretics, but the reputa- 
 tion of the victims has not been tarnished by their 
 condemnation. I do not court martyrdom — a martyr
 
 3 
 
 is seltloiu a pattern of wisdom ; hut I pl(.a<l lor even 
 Justice and a calm mdjitussed coiisidenition of my 
 jillcoxul Iiiiriii<>emcnt of" the United States' TarHr. 
 
 Tlic books about which tlierc may be a double 
 opinion were not manutactiu'cd by me or anybody 
 else for the American market. ^Vllen they were pro- 
 duced the American Tariff was not even thought of. 
 
 The Government of the United States has in me 
 a sincere friend, and every citizen of the Republic 
 receives in my house a hearty welcome. Surely it 
 is a painful mistake to look upon me as an enemy 
 and to treat me as a criminal. 
 
 I sincerely hope that the United States' Treasur}' 
 will receive such a report from you with regard to 
 my exceptional position in the London Trade, as 
 will put an end to all such erroneous impressions. 
 It is sufficiently known here, that the most eminent 
 men in England, such as Lord Beaconsfield, Mr. 
 Gladstone, the Dukes of Somerset and Devonshire, 
 the Earl of Kimberley, Lord Northbrooke, the Earl of 
 Crawford and his son Lord Lindsay, Prince Louis- 
 Lucien- Bonaparte, Mr. Ruskin, Professor Huxley, 
 Professor Mivart, Professor Owen, and others, Avliose 
 names are famous, have honoured me with their 
 patronage and friendship. 
 
 An action for fraud against me would be consi- 
 dered impossible b}* m\" English customers. It is 
 not the loss of the consignments which affects me, 
 but it is a matter of vital importance that I should vin- 
 dicate my injured honour. 1 trust the LTnited States' 
 
 Treasury will find means to withdraw their charge. 
 
 2 *
 
 AVitli regard to the despatch of books from Eng- 
 land to another conntiy, the nialdng out of the 
 invoice is tolerably easy (though not so easy as it 
 seems), when the goods invoiced have actually 
 been sold. When books are, however, consigned in 
 the usual Avay to be sold, it is wholly impossible 
 to foretell the result of the sale, and to make a 
 correct declaration of the value of the books con- 
 signed, their true value being of course so much as 
 they will fetch and no more. The compulsion upon 
 the shipper of swearing to the value of the goods 
 consigned by him is, therefore, only a mockery of 
 the sacredness of an oath. 
 
 1 have not read the exact wording of the United 
 States' Tariff on the article of Books, but I have 
 understood, and have declared accordingly, that 
 books printed within twenty years pay 25 per 
 cent, duty ad valorem^ but that books printed 
 before that limit are duty free. Now for tlie diffi- 
 culties, first of the price, and then of the date. 
 J3ooks consio-ned for absolute sale, as mine were, 
 
 O 7 7 
 
 woidd be disposed of at whatever price they might 
 bring, and that has very often been less than the 
 value I had declared. Thus if 1 declared my books 
 at too high an estimate^ I made myself a martyr 
 (which is nearly the same thing as a fool), and if 
 too low, I should be a rogue. There is no middle 
 term, for, to hit the exact price a Ijook would fetch 
 is an impossibility. But this I hear is not at present 
 the question. 1 understand I am charged with 
 having declared books to have been printed over
 
 twenty years a<^-(), wliicli were iTall\- |)i-iiitc(l within 
 twenty years. This ihar;;-e I (Uaiv. All Ijfxjks 
 ])rinte(l iVoiii wood-blocks, "stereos/' coppers, or 
 steels, with a title engraved in anv such manner 
 will always retain their orighial date, no matter how 
 long and liow often after the first issue they may 
 have been printed. All Chhiese books are thus 
 printed. Most of the great Works on Art have such 
 engraved titles. 1 mprcssions from stereotypes alwavs 
 present the same original date unless specially 
 altered. There are other difficulties in the way of 
 raising duty according to date, as in the fjicts that: — 
 
 1. Many books have no date whatever. 
 
 2. Oriental books are dated by Oriental Eras. 
 
 3. Dates are used in Oriental, Hebrew^ and other 
 books which can only be conjectured or deciphered 
 by trained scholars. 
 
 4. In the ease of many books one-half, or some 
 portion of the work is prhited twenty years before 
 the remainder. The duty-free portion mav be the 
 scarcer part while the modern portion may be of 
 little value, and there would thus be an apparent 
 inecpiality in the value of each. 
 
 [It is hoped the Customs' officers are in possession 
 of a complete set of my Catalogues, many of which 
 are long since out of print and very scarce.] 
 
 I. In reply to inquiry No. I, quoted on the first 
 page, I beg to give you here a brief
 
 G 
 
 History or My Life as a Booksellee and 
 Publisher. 
 
 1 was Lorn on April 23rd, 1819, in Worbis, 
 Prussia ; but, when only nine years of age, I lost my 
 father, a Prussian military officer, and have since 
 then struggled slowly upwards, unaided by friends or 
 relatives. Having served a five years' apprenticeship 
 with a New-bookseller in Nordhausen, Prussia, from 
 1834 to 1839, 1 went in the latter year to a publisher 
 in Berlin ; but being determined to enter into the 
 Old-book trade, I came, in iVpril, 1842, to London, and 
 succeeded in entering Henry George Bohn's service. 
 I remained with him, on that occasion, for two years 
 then went to Paris for one year's employment in a 
 Frencli house, after Avhicli I returned to P)ohn 
 for two years more, and left him finally in April, 
 1847. I had thus nearly thirteen years' experience 
 as an employe. Three of my employers are still alive, 
 and I am on friendly terms with tlieni. In all those 
 years I Avas only absent from my duties for one 
 week, and that was during my apprenticeship and in 
 consequence of an illness. 1 was never out of yvovk 
 for more than the few days consumed in the joui-neys 
 from Nordhausen to Berlin, Berlin to London, 
 London to Paris, and Paris to London. 
 
 I commenced l)usiness for myself as an Agent in 
 April, 1847, at 03 Great Pussell Street, with a 
 capital of about £70 ; but owing to a dispute which 
 arose between Mr. Bohn and myself, I changed my 
 office, and took a small shop, in October, 1847, at
 
 1^ Castlo-street, Leicester S(|uare, ;it a wecikly 
 rent of IG-s', but \vitli a capital reduced to al)(>ut ,£10. 
 ^rimt house is now my freeliold ])r')pcrty. 
 
 Ill Castle Street, my exceptional industry, coupled 
 with exceptional business aptitu<lcs, not to mention 
 the enjoyment of an iron constitution (nowise im- 
 paired by an abstemious and fi-ugal private life 
 devoted to study) produced corresponding but un- 
 expected results. My progress was marvellous and 
 surprised everybody. 1 worked day and night, and 
 soon developed from a stall-keeper selling penny 
 books into one of the leading second-hand booksellers 
 of London. 
 
 I always had such unbounded confidence in my 
 own success, that in the earlier days of my employ- 
 ment by Mr. Bohn, when he used me as a porter and 
 paid me 24s a- week (at a later date my salary rose 
 to £110 per year), I said to him^ ''Ah ! Mr. Bohn, 
 you are the first bookseller in England, I mean to 
 become the first bookseller in Europe.'' 
 
 This ambitiousness was prejudicial, in so far as it 
 prevented the concentration of all my strength upon 
 the Old-book trade. I did a little publishing, and 
 bought a few remainders, and dealt also in the 
 retail of new English books and imported new 
 Foreign books. 
 
 In fact, I carried on the bookselling business in all 
 its branches, but the Old-book trade especially. 
 
 As an Old-bookseller, I printed in Castle Street, 
 between April, 1847, and March, 1860, 157 Cata- 
 logues (numbered ]-157)
 
 8 
 
 From ^larcli, I860, wlieii I transferred my Lusiness 
 to its present address, my commereial relations con- 
 tinued to extend oyer all parts of the world ; my 
 dealings with the United States being particularly 
 satisfactory and active. I printed in Piccadilly my 
 Catalogues 158-331 (1860 to 1879), and various 
 minor Lists of books. 
 
 As above stated, my thirteen years' trading in 
 Castle Street was in all branches of the book 
 business ; and in the (nearly) twenty years' trading 
 in Piccadilly I have followed the same course. 
 
 The present inquiry seems to concern an in- 
 finitesimally small portion of my business, viz. : 
 my "•Turn-outs," i.e. books which I specially wanted 
 to p-et rid of, beino- either Old hooJcs of a low value, 
 or my oicii imUkations of which I had large stocks, 
 or remainders with which I desired to part, — and 
 which were to be allowed to go at whatever prices 
 they might fetch. These " Turn-outs " I sent to 
 certain centres abroad, some of them to the United 
 States. They realized little, but that little was 
 welcome ; and space was thus made on the shelves 
 for other goods. 
 
 This leads me to the history of my publishing and 
 remainder business, of which T proceed to give an 
 outline. 
 
 An account of this branch of my business, as 
 compared with the lengthy narrative which would be 
 required for a survey of my Old-book trade, may be 
 likened to the annals of a parish as compared with 
 tlic historv of a nation.
 
 
 
 I lii;i\' ;is well s;i\ ;il oiicc licrc — 
 
 1. 1 liiivc iR'Vci- |)ul)lisli('(l n l)(»()k with anv other 
 elate than the actual Near of its ])ublic'atioii. 
 
 2. I have never [jublished a book witli two 
 different dates or titles. Just as a book was issued 
 for the Eno-lish market, so was it sold elsewhere. 
 
 3. In facsimile-i-eprints of text, I have naturally 
 left the correct, i.e. the orioinal date. Publishers 
 frequently send out issues with fresh dates, but it is 
 a fraud for the purpose of palniiuo- off an old book as 
 a new one ujion the deluded public. 
 
 ^g° This scrupulous accuracy on my part seems to 
 be a principal source of misconstruction and mis- 
 representation by enemies. 
 
 4. Whenever I reprinted a book with additions .^ I 
 have of course put the new date on the title — as in 
 the following- instances, to mention only a few : — 
 
 Kemble's Ano-lo-Saxons in Eno-land ; 
 
 Lord Lyttelton and i\Ir. Gladstone's Translations; 
 
 Fitzgerald's Omar Khayyam ; 
 
 Paris' Arabic Grammar ; 
 
 Catafago's Arabic Dictionary ; 
 
 Redhouse's Turkish Dictionary j 
 
 Hawkins' Silver Coins ; and 
 
 Digby's Broadstone of Honour. 
 Allow me now to give a list of some of mv 
 publications and '• remainder "'-purchases, in chrono- 
 logical order. 
 
 From 1847 to 1852. 1 bought small remainders, 
 chiefly of Oriental books ; also the German edition of 
 D'Agincourt's History of the Fine Arts.
 
 10 
 
 In 1853, I bought the iirst portion of a grand 
 remamder (at a later time the whole stock and 
 plant) of Gruner's Ornamental Art. 
 
 In 1855, I brought out my own first publication — 
 Wright's Christianity in Arabia. 
 
 In 1861, ]\lr. Gladstone asked me — as a mark of 
 his personal regard for me — to publish for him and 
 his brother-hi-law, Lord Lyttelton, a volume of 
 Translations from the Greek, of whicli, with his 
 consent, I brought out a second edition in 1863. 
 
 In 1865, I published Dircks' Marquis of Worcester. 
 
 In 1866, I bought the publications of the Oriental 
 Translation Fund, 73 various works, amounting to 
 several thousand volumes. 
 
 In 1867, 1 bought the stock of Pritchard's Natural 
 History of Man, and Owen's Odontography. 
 
 In 1868, I bought Pughi's Glossary of Ecclesias- 
 tical Ornament. 
 
 In 1868-69, 1 bought the stock of Messrs. Day and 
 Son, — including 
 
 Owen Jones' Grammar of Ornament 1868 
 AVestwood's Facsimiles of MSS. 1868 
 
 Humphreys' Art of Printing 1868 
 
 These books were of course sold just as I bought 
 them, having all been delivered complete. 
 
 In 1869, I bought in Munich the remaining stock 
 of the Boisseree and Munich Galleries. The stones 
 Avere destroyed. 
 
 I also bought the stock and coppers of Gruner's 
 Italian Frescoes ; and I published Sclatcr and 
 Salvin's Exotic Ornithology, 13 parts.
 
 u 
 
 111 187o, J Ijoiig'lit ill Dresden the Tlaleiic do 
 Dresde, 3 volumes, witliout tlio cop])ers. 
 
 In 1874, 1 boiio-lit the entire stock of A\'. I ices of 
 Lhindovery, nil reiidy-printed books rehitmg to 
 Wales; and in Ncuchatel, the entire stock of the 
 publications of the late Professor Agassiz (then 
 already settled in the United States). 
 
 Tn 1875, I bought Lumley'f^ remaining- stocks, in- 
 cluding the Eiiglislt edition of D'Agincourt's llistor)- 
 of Art, coppers, odd-stock, and text ; Barrett's 
 Magus, odd stock, and 28 copperplates; Westwood's 
 Arcana Entomologica ; and Sowerby's Genera of 
 Shells. 
 
 I bought also the stereos and stock of Miiller's 
 Ancient Art ; the original printed text, odd-stock, 
 and the stones, of Owen Jones' Alhambra, 2 vols. ; 
 and Rosini, Storia della Pittura Italiana, 7 vols, 
 coppers and printed text. 
 
 I printed — naturally with the proper date of 1875 
 — a new edition of Burckhardt's Arabic Proverbs. 
 
 I purchased likewise the stock of Murchison's 
 Geology of Russia, 2 vols. ; and the stock of Gruner's 
 Terra Cotta Architecture— text and plates already 
 produced. 
 
 In 187(3, 1 bought the bulk of H. G. Bohn's great 
 remainder-stock, from Messrs. Chatto and Windus — 
 viz., the works of Hogarth, Gillray, Meyrick, Bhaw, 
 Strutt, Pugin, and Cotman, Claude's Liber Veritatis, 
 Knight's Eccles. Architecture of Italy, and Silvestre's 
 Universal PalEeography. 
 
 This stock consisted of printed text, printed
 
 12 
 
 copperplates, the original engraved coppers, and 
 the woodblocks — in fact, tlu^ entire remamder 
 (technically speaking) . 
 
 T also purchased the stock of the Tui-ner Oallery 
 — artist's proofs. 
 
 In 1877, 1 bought from Lady Faraday the remain- 
 ing stock and the copyright of Faraday's Researches 
 in Electricity, 3 vols. Two of the volumes being- 
 out of print were reproduced l)y me in absolute 
 facsimile. 
 
 I published Digby's Broad Stone of Honour, 
 5 vols. 
 
 In 1878, I bought the stock of Stothard's Monu- 
 mental Effigies. 
 
 In 1879, I bouglit the stock of Maclean's Deanery 
 of Trigg INlinor, 3 vols. 4to. ; and of the Western 
 Yunnan Expedition. 
 
 Of coiu'se, 1 have had, and have, many other 
 remainders, but tlic above outline will be sufficient 
 to elucidate the objects of the present inquiry. 
 
 One word more concerning my future. I shall be 
 in business, if my life is spared, a few years longer, 
 and I shall continue to keep up the friendly relations 
 I have had with my customers in the United States. 
 Even after me, I trust my business and my name 
 will live, and maintain the established reputation of 
 my house for fair dealing, activity, and promptitude. 
 
 In reply to Inquiry No. II, I beg to give you an 
 idea of tlie vast extent of my regular business — that 
 is, the supply of books ordered by actual purchase
 
 Iroiii 111}' stuck (as {listiiif^uisliccl IVuiii tlic (jfcasiuiial 
 coiisigiiment of lots for chance sale by auction) ; by 
 inserting" liere a list of my ciistoniers and consignees 
 in the United States. 
 
 To all of them (with the single excej:)tion of 
 Messrs. Sabin and Sons) I can refer without hesita- 
 tion.

 Allow nic, iiuw to ui\c ;i detailed account ol iiiv 
 relations with Sabin and Sons. 
 
 Joseph iSabin, senior, is a man of abcjiit ht'tx-niiic 
 years, or nearly my own ag'e. lie left l^ngland 
 some thirty years ago, and settled in tlie United 
 States of America. His antecedents are unknown 
 to me. 
 
 I saw him first about eighteen years ago. He had 
 just then failed in the United States, but he suc- 
 ceeded in mollifvinc; the irritation of his Loud(ju 
 creditors with a tale which exhibited his own virtue 
 and the villainy of those who had shown him to be 
 in their debt. I lost nothing on that oecasion by his 
 failure, and the matter did not therefore interest me. 
 He again commenced in New York as a bookseller^ 
 trading under the style of Sabin and Sons. 
 
 About seven or eight years ago he started a 
 London agency, which was managed by his sons in 
 succession. The sons, who are all intelligent, won 
 my good graces, and I gave the firm credit. Their 
 payments were slo^v and unsatisfactory, but still 1 
 obtained what was due from time to time, until the 
 event mentioned in the next paragraph. 
 
 In x4.ugust, 1878, Mr. Sabin, senior, came to 
 London on a visit, and bought books to the value of 
 £427. \\s GfZ from my stock of ''remainders" and 
 publications. He distinctly told me, upon my direct 
 question, that those goods would be paid for by bills 
 of long date (viz.— in four payments of £99, £99, 
 £99, and £130. lis Gc/, payable at intervals of three 
 months; the first on January 4, 1879, and the last 
 
 2
 
 18 
 
 on October 4, 1879 ; all made payable in London); 
 and equally distinctly that his son Frank, who 
 managed the London house, was competent to accept 
 and honour the bills in due time. Frank Sabin did 
 in fact so accept the bills in the name of the firm, 
 and the goods were delivered to the house in London. 
 My. Sabin^ senior, had returned to New York by the 
 end of September. 
 
 On the 1st of October, 1878, I held a trade sale 
 of my remainders and publications, at which Mr. 
 Frank Sabin, on behalf of the firm, bought to the 
 amount of £90. 8s Sd (for which he also accepted a 
 bill due May 22, 1879). 
 
 Early in October, 1878, 1 had an intimation that it 
 ■would be advisable to beware of the Sabins, as their 
 business had been transferred in New York to a 
 junioi" son, then a minor. No definite notice was 
 given me of that transaction. 
 
 Frank Sabin, when he found that the New York 
 house was insolvent, returned to me goods amounting 
 to £51. lis 6f/, thus reducing the liabilities of the 
 firm — so far as I was concerned — to £462. 19s 2c/. 
 I still believed that they would get over their 
 difiiculties. 
 
 By order of Messrs. Sabin 's London solicitor, two 
 meetings of the creditors Avere called, at which I 
 acted as chairman. Such a garbled statement of the 
 affairs of tlic house Avas made by Frank Sabin, that I 
 felt disgusted. It came out that he had signed 
 £4000 Avorth of accommodation bills as betAveen his 
 fii-m and Bossange of Paris, although he alleged
 
 1(1 
 
 that his linii had not I'cceivcd oiiu pciiiu' of money 
 oil account of thc'Hi. Sarin's slock in London "was 
 almost worthless. The stock and the Ijusiness in 
 New York, we were told, had heen sold, but the 
 buyer oftered 3.s (jd in the pound to the Ijondon 
 creditors, liotli mectin<i,'s ended without any result. 
 
 A })ri\ate attempt was subsequently made by 
 Mr. Prickett, a res])ectable accountant, to settle the 
 affairs of Sabin and Sons in London; he offered in 
 their name 2*' (kl in the pound. I refused to accept 
 that sum. The bulk of the creditors did agree ; but 
 after they had received tenpence in the pound, the 
 payments stopped. 
 
 Early in December, 1879, Sabin, senior, came to 
 London, and there have been two calls from the 
 Bankruptcy Coiu't upon the creditors. My solicitor, 
 not myself, attended the first meeting. The creditors, 
 willing to snatch at any offer whatsoever, accepted 
 one shilling in the pound, instead of the 3^' GcZ in the 
 pound before offered, which amount ^Ir. Prickett, the 
 Trustee of the Estate, is ready to pay each creditor 
 on receiving an acquittance in full. 
 
 My solicitor has declined to accept tlie proffered 
 composition. It depends upon the result of my hiAV 
 suit against Sabin and Sons in New York to prove 
 whether he has acted in my best interest or not. 
 
 When the offer of two shillings and sixpence in 
 the pound was made by the Sabins through ]\Ir. 
 Prickett and refused by me, I believed that I had a 
 chance of recovering the full debt by stating my 
 case in the United States' Law Court in New York. 
 
 2 *
 
 20 
 
 1 therefore entrusted tlie proofs of my claim, — 
 consisting of five bills (amounting to £518. 0^^ 2c/) 
 accepted by Frank Sabin in tlie name of Sabin and 
 Sons, but dishonoured when they fell due, — to Mr. 
 Hamilton Cole, Solicitor, 110 Broadway, New York. 
 
 Wlien my case in New York first came on in 
 October, 1878, Joseph Sabin, senior, Joseph Sabin, 
 junior, and William ^y. Sabin, the three New York 
 partners of Frank Sabin, declared upon oath that 
 they did not recognize the signature to the bills and 
 Avoidd therefore not acknowledge it. All three swore 
 that the signature of their son and brother, with 
 whom they had been in daily correspondence for 
 many years, was unknown to them, and also that 
 they could not tell whose signature it was which 
 appeared on the bills. After this, the American 
 Court sent a Commission to London to Mr. Van 
 AVagner, Barrister, in the Temple. That gentleman 
 took my evidence concerning the bills, and also 
 examined Frank Sabin, who, after making as long a 
 delay as he could, ultimately admitted that he had 
 accepted the bills in the name of the firm. The 
 cost of this Commission had to be paid by me. 
 
 How my law case in New York will stand now 
 that Sabin and Sons have obtained their release in 
 London, by licpiidation in bankruptcyj on the pay- 
 ment of one shilHng in the pound, T do not know ; 
 lujY do 1 know the American law as to purchasing 
 goods and raising money upon them within a few 
 days of bankruptcy. [It is believed, but I have not 
 yet received absolute proof, that the bill of lading,

 Saljlii ol' the l)(»()ks piircliascd iVoin iiic, wci'c (Icpo-itcd

 Kuleniblc amount of nion('>- was advanced upon this 
 security, and tliat the Ijankers are consequently re- 
 turned in the schedule of creditors as being secured.] 
 But the management of the aft'air, ])otli in London 
 and New York, is in the hands of my solicitors. 
 
 Let me proceed to continue the account ol' my 
 general business-rehitions with American customei-s. 
 As for California, I believe I may say that the majoi- 
 portion of the good and valuable books now to be 
 found in the libraries of that risina' State, lias been 
 supplied by me Of course in Boston, Philadelphia, 
 Chicago, Cincinnati — in ftxct, throughout the United 
 States — my commercial activity has been of acknow- 
 ledged usefulness to scholars and to collectors of 
 learned and. rare works. I have repeatedly been 
 invited by American book collectors (among whom 
 1 may instance my excellent patrons, Mr. Astor, of 
 New York, and j\Ir. Barnes, of Chicago) to pay them 
 a visit in the United States ; and I have had frequent 
 assurances that the American lovers of rare old 
 books woidd be glad to welcome me among them. 
 This friendliness of feeling is Avarmly reciprocated on 
 my part; and although I have not yet been able to 
 carry out my wish in that respect, yet it is my 
 intention to respond personally to those cordial 
 invitations as soon as I can be spared from my 
 London duties.
 
 22 
 
 ^[y c'oiLsigiiments to the United States consisted of 
 books, old and new, such as I coukl easily spare from 
 my stock. They included usually a portion of my 
 publications and remainders.

 By the preceding statement it is shown that, 
 considering the magnitude of my business, the 
 consignments to the United States during five years 
 were of but comparatively little importance. 
 
 My declarations at the American Consulate were 
 always truthfully made. Indeed, I generally over- 
 declared the value, and incurred loss upon nearly 
 every transaction. This was one reason why my 
 consio-nments were so few and far between.
 
 23 
 
 Tlie ('oiisi^iimciiit i innd(^ to Ja';i\ iUaii<l ( Jo. in Jiil\', 
 1879, was to liavc been dis])(jsf'(l of at a trade sale at 
 tlie cud ol' Se|)l(inl)or, 1S7'.), I have liad no news 
 eitlicr of tlic consio-nnicni or of tlic result of tlic 
 sale. 
 
 All I know is this, that on October 1, 1871), therc 
 aj^peared in tlie Ncf. York Herald an insidious article, 
 imder the heading of " Booksellers' Tricks," of which 
 the first portion had reference to some books of mine 
 in Leavitt's trade sale. — I here insert the article itself 
 cut out from the columns of the Herald. 
 
 BOOKSELLERS' TRICKS. 
 
 lNTRODTOTN(i NkW BoOKS FiJEi: OF DuTT — ThB ValIIK OF AN 
 
 Old Impkint — Disreputable Practices. 
 
 The hooJiSellers in Nassau, Street are conslderahlij excited over 
 the "jtare up " and consequent holt at the annual trade sale on 
 Saturday last. Among the consignees was Mr. Bernard Quaritch, 
 of 15 Piccadilli/, London. He sent over an invoice of about £300, 
 hut it is asserted that contrary to the rules under tohich the sales 
 are made lie reserved his hoohs and ordered them to he bought in 
 unless they brought a price far beyond their real value. More than 
 this, it is asserted, he entered many of them as more than twenty 
 years old, and therefore free of duty, lohereas it is avowed theij are 
 newly manufactured and howid. In one of these ivories appears the 
 imprint, ^'■London, Bernard Quaritch, N'o. 1!) PiccadiJJy, 18o2,'' 
 tvhereas in the year 1852 and for some years afterwards he occupied 
 a small shop at " No. 16 Castle Street, Leicester Square (three 
 doors from St. Martin's Court)" an obscure locality, very difficult to 
 be found by anyone not acquainted with the great 'metropolis. 
 Many of the boohs sold cannot be delivered because a reappraisement 
 has been ordered by the Custom House authorities, and of many of 
 them a hoohseller remarhed yesterday the buyers were sold as ivell 
 as the boohs. 
 
 Tricks of the Trade. 
 
 Hearing of these reports an Herald reporter interviewed a num- 
 ber of booksellers yesterday, and from all of them heard a confirm a. 
 tion of the story. " There are tricks in our trade as well as in 
 others," said one, •' hut in London they resort to things ivhich have 
 never been attempted in Neiv York. What is called ' a knock out ' 
 is very common with the trade there. ' A knock out' is a comhina-
 
 24 
 
 iloii amoiKj buyers not tu hid nyain.'^i each nther, or, if jjossihle, not 
 to alloio anyone else to hid against them. Boohs hought at '« 
 Inwch out ' are again sold among the mcmhers of the comhination, 
 and I hare l:non-n cases vliere they were sold a third time. For 
 instance, some time ago a cojiy of the fast folio Shahespeare ivas 
 put up at auction. As yon Jcnotu a perfect copy is worth about 
 £700. This tvas not perfect, but it was still very valuable — worth, 
 say £600. At the sale it brought only £20. There were seven 
 bool-sellers in the ring, and they put it up among themselves and it 
 brought £140. There was, hoivever, a ring ivithin the ring, 
 and four out of the original seven were dropped, and then the booh 
 was again put up at axiction. The purchaser bought it for £450, 
 'paying, of course, only hcdf its value, ivhile the other two ptocheted 
 an additional £150 each. Where there is a private purchaser, 
 hou-ever, vnlling to pay a good price, and the boolcsellers buy on 
 commission, the ring puts np the price as high as, or even a little 
 higher than, it will bear. If this twenty years' dodge is alloioed to 
 succeed, here,itwill notbe long before we shall have in New Yorh all 
 the tricJiS of the London trade.'' 
 
 Tt will be seen that this contains a scurrilous 
 attack upon me, which conld only have been Avritten 
 or promoted by an ill-willed person like Mr. Joseph 
 Sabin, senior. ]\Ierely a portion of the article had 
 direct reference to myself; but the ingenious intro- 
 duction of an entirely extraneous subject — the 
 practice of knock-out conspiracies by dealers at 
 auction-sales — serves by innuendo to hcig-hten the 
 imputation oi mala Jides^ and to give an air of greater 
 probability to the slander. 
 
 My reply appeared in the Herald of November 10, 
 
 together with an additional note by Mr. Hamilton 
 
 C'ole. 
 
 " BOOKSELLERS' TRICKS." 
 
 To Tni: Editor ok ttu; Herald : — 
 
 I trust your courtesy will allow me place for a few remarhs con- 
 rerning an article under the above title which appeared in your issue 
 of October \. So icidely Icnovn as I am thronghoid America it is 
 my didy to ansiver a false charge of dishonesty which that article 
 contains and irhicJt mai/ be traceidile to the malice of an individual
 
 25 
 
 smarting under a hm'II nwrilril inmishinrnt. I uni accnaeilnj luii-mij 
 ■lent to be sold at the Ncm York trade aiidioa bnohn chargeahle vHIl 
 duly, hilt far n'ltirh I have dishonestly prom red e.-remption by the 
 subterfuge of it false date on the title, ond (in instance, iupoint is 
 given, by quoting an. imprint (J know not whence) which runs thiis : 
 — *^ London, Bernard Qaaritch, No.l^i Piccadilly, 1852." Most 
 of iny American, as well as English, friends knoio that I had no 
 address in Piccadilly till 1860, and consequently the cunning 
 maligner seems to have made a grave charge. Put the reply is 
 simple. I iwssess a great many " remainders " (f old editions of 
 hooks, and it is, and has been for over three hundred years, a 
 frequent custom among remainder-holders ivho were also publishers 
 to reprint titles, substituting the new name for the old one. In the 
 transfer of remainders from o)ie hand to another, this may he done 
 several times, and involves no intention, ivhatever to deceive, the his- 
 tory of each " remainder " being carefully followed by all the 
 members of the trade. Such a reimpression of the title of a book 
 does not alter the fact that the book itself was actually produced at 
 the date specified, and in artistic ivorks, the whole value of vjhich 
 consists in their engravings, a reprint of even the entire text does 
 not constitute a new book. While the stock of engravings remains 
 unexhausted the work may he issued over and over again with its 
 original date, although, in order to pass it tltrough the binder's 
 hands, there may be a necessity to reprint the title, or a 
 leaf, or a sheet, or even the whole text. These facts are well known 
 to every one in the English, American, French, and German hook 
 trade and to every sensible man among the puhlic. But I suspect 
 that the article in the Herald is the venomous offspring of a soi- 
 disant " honourable " dealer against ivhose tricks of book getting J 
 have had recourse to American laiv. The " obscure lucality " in 
 which I am spitefully declared to have exercised my craft more than 
 twenty years ago tvas familiar to book lovers on the other side of the 
 Atlantic, as tvell as in England. Many rare volumes and tracts 
 passed into and out of my hands then at far loioer prices than such 
 things have risen to no2oa,days, and among those who took the 
 benefit of such advantages my American customers were the first. 
 It is also said of me that I ordered my books to be bought in at the 
 trade sale, ^''unless they brought a price far beyond their real 
 value.''' The stupid folly of such a statement destroys its malevo- 
 lence. Any dealer in any kind of merchandize tvho pursued such a 
 course of action 7voidd soon be a banlcrupt, as is evidenced by the 
 present condition of the inspirer of the article previously printed by 
 you. With thanks for your courteous insertion of this remonstrance 
 I am, sir, yoitr obedient servant.

 THE LAW OF THE CASE. 
 
 To THE Editor of the Het^ald : — 
 
 As a supplement to Mr. QuaritcWs letter, printed above, I ivish to 
 say that the laxos of the United States provide for the importation 
 free of duty of " hooks which shall have heen printed and manufac- 
 ttired more than twenty years at the date of importation^ Under 
 date of March 5, 1872, the Secretary of the Treasury decided that 
 " hooks ivhich have been actually printed and published more than 
 twenty years are exempt from duty under the provision therefor in 
 the ttrenty-second section of the Act of July 14, 1870, notivithstand- 
 ing the fact that they have been reboimd and repaired tvitliin that 
 period.'^ There is a difference of upjinion in the Custom House here 
 upon the question whether a neio title page upon a booh more than 
 tu-enty years old xooidd render the whole book dutiable, and I cannot 
 find that this question has heen finally determined. The better 
 opinion is, I think, that such a book would not be dutiable. Any 
 one at all " bookish " knows that the vieivs stated by Mr. Quaritch 
 as to what constitutes a '" new " hook are universally accepted. 
 Wlietlier or not a rigid, construction of the customs laiv loould bring 
 about a different result from that arrived at by Mr. Quaritch, this 
 would hardly pistify the charge of fraud contained in your p)revious 
 aHicle — a charge, however, 'which coidd have no eff'ect except upon 
 those who have no acquaintance w'ith one ef the leading London 
 booksellers of the present day. — Yours, Sfc, 
 
 HAMILTON COLE, Gounsel for B. Quaritch. 
 
 Nrw YoEK, Oct. 29. 1870. 
 
 The books consigned to Messrs. Tliomas and Sons 
 in September, 1879, were to have l)een sokl on 
 October 22^ Avhen the sale was stopped, and the 
 property seized by tlie Customs. This act will be 
 contested by my counsel, Mr. James W. Paul, in 
 Philadelphia, in February, when the case is to be 
 heard in a United States' LaAv Court. 
 
 [Although it miglit be more regular to embody 
 the following observations in my reply to Inquir^^ 
 Xo. IV, it seems appropriate to place them here
 
 27 
 
 with the iU'COiiiit ol' tin; ooiisio-nments to which tliev 
 ]iave reference.] 
 
 I will now go through the Sale Catalogue of the 
 consignment to Messrs. Thomas and Sons, with the 
 object of defending the declaration which I made at 
 the United States' Consulate. I only refer to those 
 lots upon which I see the ])ossil)ility of an adverse 
 opinion : — 
 
 Lot 12 — Bhagavad Gita, 1855, valued 5.s\ 
 
 I know this to be a facsimiles reprint, I believe 
 from stereos. 
 
 Lot 44— Faraday, 1839-55, valued £1. 155. 
 
 In the very note publicly printed in the Catalogue 
 it is stated that two of the volumes are facsimile 
 reprijit. 
 
 Lot 80 — Lindley and Hutton, valued £2. 10.s\ 
 
 This is printed from the original coppers. 
 Lot 93— Midler's Ancient Art, valued 3s Gr7. 
 
 Eeprinted from the stereos when the property was, 
 about seven years ago, transferred to me. I had the 
 name of the former owner expunged, and mine with 
 present address substituted. The date was left 
 unaltered, because I had no right to alter it or to 
 falsify the chronological record of the publication. 
 Lot 67— Barrett, 1801, valued 10s. 
 
 As stated in the Catalogue, this is a re-issue with 
 impressions from the original copper-plates. 
 Lot 235 — D'Agincourt (History of Art), 1847, 
 valued £1. 10s. 
 
 This work I bought as a remainder about six 
 years ago. I bought printed text, plates and coppers.
 
 28 
 
 I reprinted the title-page, putting my own name 
 instead of tlie former owner's, but of eourse leaving 
 the date unchano-ed, as the book was virtuallv 
 identical with the edition of 184:7, and a new date 
 would be a falsitication in bibliography. 
 
 Lot 260— Hogarth, valued £5. 
 
 The text of this book (correctly dated 1822, 
 although evidently printed since then; — ii-licn I know 
 not, but not by me) was delivered to me ready 
 printed. Some of the coppers were in the hands of 
 tlie restorer or repairer, and for that reason, the 
 Avorking of the book was for a while delayed. There 
 may be a question as to the possible liability of a 
 repaired book. 
 
 That such a large proportion of the books con- 
 signed by me should be over twenty years old, and 
 thus duty free, arises from the fact that I deal 
 especially in Old books, and have very few modern 
 productions for disposal. T am emphatically, as 1 
 have already stated, what is called an Old-bookseller. 
 
 In the consignment made to Messrs. Thomas and 
 Sons, valued at £354, I can only trace (so far as I can 
 judge) books to the amount of £11. 135 6c/, upon 
 which there could be a possible difference of opinion 
 as to their liability to duty. I therefore see no 
 sufficient reason why I should not uphold my 
 Consular declaration. I must naturally, however, 
 abide by the decision of the United States' legal 
 triljunal. 
 
 I beo' on the other hand to i-emark, that there 
 could be no animus furtandi in my Consular decla-
 
 20 
 
 I'utioii, when the aiiiuiiiit ol duty, wliicli iiiijii;iit Ijc 
 considered tlie object of evasion, was so very small. 
 
 And even it' I were held to be in the wron<>- on 
 those points, I should consider it barbarous to visit 
 a slender and unintentional infringement of a regu- 
 lation (which still requires to be clearly detined) with 
 unprecedented severity. 
 
 In reply to Inquiry No. II J, as to whether '' 1 
 succeeded in getting a fraudulent invoice through 
 the New York Customs," I now beg to furnish you 
 with copies of (a 1 and 2) invoices and books sup- 
 plied to Sabin and Sons (although these were shipped 
 and declared by Frank Sabin); and (^1 and 2) 
 invoices of the books shipped and declared by me to 
 Messrs. Leavitt and Co., as I do not know to which 
 invoice you refer. — I annex here at the same time (c) 
 a copy of my declaration of consignment to Messrs. 
 Thomas and Sons in Philadelphia.

 Genera. 
 
 '•Amongst the Invertebrata mention must be particularly made of the 
 division Mollusca, the most copious of all, to which is devoted more than 
 half the plates of the Atlas. The part is more particularly noteworthy, for, 
 frstly, the full treatment of the Pteropod mollnsks, in which the anatomy is 
 fully exposed of every genus of this group, still so little known to naturalists ; 
 secondly, :i similar comprehensive descrij)tion of the Iletoropoda of Lamarck ; 
 tltirdly, the complete Anatomy of the Nudibranchiate Mollusca (Phlebcntera) 
 whose curious organization has excited already such numerous comment and 
 observation. Still more, this section contains the anatomical description of 
 several almost unknown genera, and a great number of species equally 
 remarkable. The exact configitration of the animals forms an important 
 feature of the Atlas."

 115 44 Faraday's Experimental Rcsearclics in Electricity, 3 vols, with 
 16 plates, cloth 1839-55 
 
 This book is still the great text-book of Electricians, and will always 
 remain the Master-Key of the science. Ncav discoveries may and will be 
 made, but to Faraday's Researches the scientific world will always have 
 to refer as to their Mafjnum Opus. 
 
 Copies have lately sold for seven and eight guineas.— No more welcome 
 lioon was ever offered to students than this re-issue of Faraday's Researches. 
 The first two volumes being out of print, the connnercial value of the work 
 had risen so high, that only scholars with well-furnished purses could hope 
 to become possessors of it. However little we may censure the selfish 
 enjoyment by a bibliomaniac of his unique or very rare volumes, it could 
 hardly be desirable that the magnus opws of the great analyst should become 
 a treasure of that kind. This reprint has been done with complete success ; 
 and scientific students ought to congratulate themselves on having a chance 
 to buy Faraday's Researches at a comparatively low price.

 The boldness of Dr. Inman's opinions, and the variety and extent of 
 his reading, make this one of the most remarkable books of our time. The 
 large number of students who are now groping after truth in tlie history of 
 Religions, will find in "Ancient Faiths" ample food for their digestion ; a 
 style and treatment of the subject widely different from the unsteady 
 ramblings of Godfrey Higgins, whose Apocalypsis has formed for many 
 their first BevelaMon in the same direction of inquiry.

 This important work had become so rare that the copies which 
 occasionally turned up at sales were eagerly completed, and brought three 
 or four times the original publication-price. It was the magnum opws of 
 its author, a scholar unrivalled in his knowledge of the earliest English 
 history and antiquities. The works of 8ir Francis Palgrave, Lappenberg, 
 and Mr. Freeman, all belong like this to the new school in which the 
 notions of most writers upon ancient England are replaced by new and 
 sounder views, but " the Saxons in England' must be studied by all who 
 would effectively clear their mental atmosphere of the old clouds of 
 ignorance and error. In this treasuiy of historical knowledge and criticism, 
 the origines of the English race have to be sought for, and the earliest forms 
 of that Teutonic civilization which has developed into the society and 
 institutions of the United Kingdom and the United States.

 The story of the Krniitie Lover and the Night-Hlack I5eanty, is one of 
 the favourite fictions of the Kast. Many poems have been written to 
 celebrate it, !)nt the best and most famous of them all is the work of Abu 
 MuhamniHil Ni/.am ud-I)in of Gandja, called Nizatni, who died A.n. b'J'J. 
 'rhere is hardly one greater name than his in the I'octical Fasti of Persia, 
 " and Ilafiz thus speaks of him : — 
 
 ' Not all the treasured store of ancient days 
 Can boast tlie sweetness of N'izami's lays." " 
 The niiinner in which the trunslation is executed, in graceful English 
 verse somewhat in the style of Italia liookh, bears out the high reputation of 
 Mr. Atkinson as an elegant English writer and an accomplished Tersiau 
 scholar.

 This volume contains more than five tliousaud cxplamitious of Liturgical 
 and Ecclesiastical terms, both Eastern and ^\'estern. It has been the 
 compiler's object to give in a comparatively small compass and in a popular 
 form as much information as possible set forth iu terse and clear language 
 concerning the meaning of such terms— a subject of study pcculiai'l}' 
 interesting and current at the present day, and one to which considerable 
 attention is now being directed by the laity as well as the clergy. The 
 compiler has been for many years collecting materials for the volume from 
 all ordinary liturgical books and treatises, and has consulted nearly two 
 hundred MSS., e.g. Church and Churchwardens' Accounts, of different 
 periods, which throw much light liotli on the Statute law and Custom of the 
 English Church. lie has also made considerable use of the various Couuty 
 Histories, which contain so much un-tabulatcd information, aud is indebted 
 to many friends for notes, records of facts, literary guidance and friendly 
 criticism. The illustrations are largely taken from English examples. 
 
 " Since Pugin's Glossary no volume so complete aud useful has appeared 
 as this elaboi-ate glossary of all liturgical aud ecclesiastical terius. Not only 
 because High Church phrases are so commonly used, and so little under- 
 stood, but because in our busy town the vessels of the altar aud the decorations 
 of the church arc so largely made, does this volume become indispensable in 
 many houses of business, and in most houses of taste.''

 Besides many spirited descrii)tious of " deeds of derring do," both with 
 the rifle and spear — with some amusing original contributions — poetry of no 
 mean merit is to be found in the pages of the magazine, especially those 
 famous sporting songs which were then so popular, such as — 
 The boar — the mighty boar — 
 Saddle, spur, and spear ; 
 Hurrah for the spur and the spear ; 
 'Tis the boar, the grim, grey boar 
 — with many more. The best from the pen of Captain Thomas Morley 
 Morris, of the Bombay Army ; the final letters of whose names — S- Y. S. — 
 mark which are his. 
 
 These stirring songs have ever met with warmest recognition at all 
 sporting gatherings. But a few years ago a fear was expressed that some 
 of them might be forgotten and lost for ever ; and the question was asked 
 where they could be found, if still in i)rint. Only one complete copy of the 
 magazine was known to be in existence, and it was thought advisable to 
 have a rcjirint from this. The old edition was in five octavo volumes. A 
 good deal of this bulk was from old Racing Calendars. These had ceased 
 to be of any interest, and it was resolved that the new edition should be in 
 two volumes — retaining the Si)orting Accounts, Tales, and Poetry, but 
 omitting the greater part of the Racing Tables. 
 
 In this form it has been given to the public as an interesting relic of days 
 
 gone by.

 This was the first general Biographical Dictionary in the Arabic

 order of names, and comprise distinguished individuals of every sect and 
 nation in Islam, down to the thirteenth century, when Ibn Khallikan 
 flourished. Moslem critics have blamed him for enlari;ing on the lives of 
 poets and historical writers, at the expense of the earned doctors of law ; 
 but that very circumstance renders his book all the more valuable to the 
 European reader.

 This work is the first attempt towards C(jllecting and preserving all 
 that new remains of the Ancient Language of Cornwall, which is supposed 
 to have been that Dialect of theCelto-Briti^h that was spoken throughout the 
 central and southern divisions of England, by the original inhabitants, who 
 ultimately coalesced with the Anglo-Saxons, an event which has in a 
 considerable degree influenced the formation of the English Language.

 This English edition is divided as follows : Architectuhe, 73 plates ; 
 SccLPTLRK, 51 plates ; Paintinc;, 24 plates. 
 
 To Antiquaries and lovers of the Fine Arts, this book is indispensable; 
 it connects the works of Winckelman and Cicognara, and forms with them a 
 most interesting series. 
 
 "This fine work was the first in which the idea of exhibiting the Pro- 
 gress of Art, by a series of its noblest monuments, was perfectly carried out. 
 By a scries of accurate Engravings from celebrated Monuments, we trace 
 the transitions of Art from the classic period to our own times. Sculpture, 
 I'ainting, and the Art of Illumination ; and the Art of Engraving on Wood, 
 on Gems, and on Medals are similarly represented. 
 
 "It is a work that has long been sought and prized by all who could 
 afford the high price at which only it was to be procured. No Library, 
 Architect, Painter, Sculptor, or any one connected with the Fine Arts, should 
 he without such a work."

 Gillray stands at the head of all Caricaturists. — The Quarterly Review 
 thus speaks of him : " Gillray was marked out, as it were, predestined for his 
 career by an extraordinary assemblage of qualities : wit, humour, fancy, 
 imagination, boldness of conception and execution, inexhaustible fertility and 
 variety, intuitive Tcnowledge of onankind, and unerring quickyiess of percep- 
 tion, which enabled him to catch the passing follies and fleeting fashions of 
 the gay world, as well as the intrigues, corruption, and maladministration of 
 the great. He was a painter of manners as well as a political caricaturist, 
 and during the long period covered by his sketches there is hardly a marked 
 step in social progress, hardly a change of costume or national caprice of any 
 kind, that is not flxed and recorded for the amusement of contemporaries and 
 the edification of posterity."

 A more magnificent volume than the above has never been produced in 
 any country. It is difficult to conceive the gorgeous yet harmonious effect 
 of the colours, which could only have been produced by the Litho-chromato- 
 graphic process. The plates are of a very large size, and present some of the 
 most tasteful specimens of Decorative Art of every description by the

 One of the greatest impediments to the progress of Architectural Art in 
 this country has been the difliculty of finding any building material which 
 Bhould unite durability with elegance, and should not at the same time be so 
 expensive as to preclude its being generally employed. Stone suitable for 
 building purposes is too expensive and not plentiful enough; and it also 
 becomes discoloured and very often decays from exposure. Brick again it Ls 
 not possible to use to artistic eifect. 
 
 Under these circumstances, the employment of Terra-Cotta seems to offer 
 a means of remedying this defect more readily than any other which has 
 yet been suggested. It is more durable than stone ; its colour may be toned 
 down if desirable; its neatness and preciseness remove at once all appearance 
 of meanness ; and it is capable of being moulded into ornaments of any 
 amount of complexity or sharpness of detail.

 It is unquef-tionably the most pleasin<r and interesting volume of Portraits 
 ever published in this country, and is a, no less delightful ornament to the 
 boudoir and drawing-room than valuable in the library as an historical and 
 pictorial record of a most remarkable period. 
 
 The graceful and delicate colouring preserves all the effect of the 
 original highly finished drawings, and at the same time communicates an 
 animation to the features which is quite enchanting — Not more than ten of 
 the subjects are included in Lodge's Portraits, and as still fewer are to be 
 found elsewhere this volume possesses an additional value.

 Owen Jones, with a complete translation of the Arabic Inscrip- 
 tions, and an historical notice of the Kings of Granada, by 
 P. de Gayangos, 2 vols, atlas folio (pub. at £24), half red 
 morocco, gilt edges 1H42-45 
 
 This is without exception one of the most sumptuous works ever executed 
 in any country, hut its hi<,'h price hns hitherto kept it out of the hands of all 
 but the wealthy. It is of equal interest to the Amateur, the Architect, the 
 yculptor and the Decorator, lor nothing can exceed the nunihcr, variety, and 
 beauty of the Ornaments and Details. It is accompanied l>y a complete 
 Transhition, by Pasqual de Gayangos, of the Arabic Inscriptions, and an 
 liistorical notice of the Kings of Granada from the Conquest of that City by 
 the Arabs to tlie Expulsion of the Moors. 
 
 " The Alluimbra still exists — one of the most recent of European ruins. 
 It is the most perfect in repair and the richest in design, and is still one of 
 the most wonderful productions of Eastern splendour."

 This great, and to practical Artists absolutely necessary work, consists 
 
 of 112 tine large plates, in gold and colours, with descriptive text. If any 
 work is to spread Art Taste, this valuable production on the highest branches 
 of ornamentation will do it. 
 
 This work is indispensable to Artists, Architects, and their Assistants, 
 and Pupils, Designers, Art-workmen, and Students of every branch of 
 Ornamental Art. It also addresses itself to a still larger class of the public 
 who, without having professional need of its teachings, have yet an 
 enlightened sympathy with the beautiful, and would be glad to possess 
 as au aid to the practice of Uluniiuating and other accomplishments of 
 a like elegant character, or as a decoration to their drawing-room table, this 
 record of tlie art of so many countries and periods. 
 
 The "Grammar of Ornament'" has not only been adopted as a class-book 
 in all the Government schools in this country, but also by the principal 
 schools of the Continent, where the importance to Art of this invaluable 
 collection, and of the principles explained in the text by which Mr. Owen 
 Jones has sought to guide the student to its use, has been fully recognized 
 and honoured.

 " When, some four centuries ago, the enterprise of Spanish Navigators 
 opened the vast continent of America to the admiration of Europe, the 
 civilization of the New World was found to be concentrated in two spots, and 
 two only, of that enormous territory. One of these favoured regions was 
 Peru ; the other was Mexico. It was in Mexico especially that art, 
 politics and science had received their greatest development. All the rest 
 of North America, from the shores of Hudson's Bay to the mouths of the 
 Mississippi, was desolate and barbarous, diversified only by swamp, forest, or 
 prairie, and popidated by savages without knowledge or laws. Mexico alone 
 redeemed the character of the new continent, and presented to the eyes of 
 the invader a spectacle so marvellous as to satisfy even the expectations 
 wliich the great discovery had raised. There the Spaniards found an 
 organized State, an ancient polity, an opulent capital, an exalted dynasty, a 
 formidable priesthood, and a people well skilled in mechanical and decorative 
 art. So great, in fact, was the proficiency of the Mexican workmen, so 
 elaborate the system of government, and so impressive the whole evidence of 
 wealth and grandeur, that for some time the civilization of Mexico was 
 regarded as superior to that of Europe. Although indeed the researches of 
 modern inquirers has enabled us to supply some corrective to these ideas, it 
 is really probable that in certain respects the Spaniards found Mexico more 
 advanced than Spain, and we have been recently assailed on the authority of 
 a comprehensive history that this civilization was the necessary incident of 
 geographical and natural advantages. Such was the situation and configu- 
 ration of Mexico that it could hardly fail to make progress, and all that was 
 discovered there in the shape of national wealth or political order represented 
 the extraordinary opportunities whica nature had provided." — Times,

 A beautiful and attractive work, containing Etchings of a hundred 
 objects of vertu: Anns, Jewels, Furniture, Crystals, Enamels, Porcelain, the 
 work chiefly of great artists of the Renaissance, and exhibiting the highest 
 form of Art as applied to things used in the ordinary transactions of life. 
 They are chosen from dilfei'cut celebrated collections ; and, so far as the 
 etcher's work is concerned, it has received eulogy from ail sides, for the 
 perfection with which it reproduces and seems to convey the most delicate 
 lights and shades. Even the colourist's hand could hardly satisfy the eye 
 and the jierceptious more than these plain illustrations, in which any one 
 with artistic feeling can almost discern the very hues and tints of the 
 origuials.

 " While the splendour of the decorations of this work is well calculated 
 to excite curiosity, the novel character of its contents, the very curious 
 extracts from the rare MSS. in which it abounds, and the pleasing manner 
 in which the author's antiquarian researches are prosecuted, will tempt many 
 •who take up the book in idleness to peruse it with care. No previous work 
 can be compared, in point of extent, arrangement, science, or utility, with the 
 one now in question. 1st. It for the first time supplies to our Schools of 
 Art correct and ascertained data for costume, in its noblest and most 
 important branch — historical painting. 2nd. It affords a simple, clear, and 
 most conclusive elucidation of a great number of passages in our great 
 dramatic poets— aye, and in the works of those of Greek and Rome — against 
 Avhich commentators and scholiasts have been trying their wits for centuries. 
 3rd. It throws a flood of light upon the manners, usages, and sports of our 
 ancestors, from the time of the Anglo-Saxons down to the reign of Charles 
 the Second. And, lastly, it at once removes a vast number of idle traditions 
 and ingenious fables, which one comjiiler of history, copying from another, 
 has succeeded in transmitting through the lapse of four or five hundred 
 years." — Edinburgh Revieiu.

 approval.

 Vatican, called " La Loggia di Rafaelle," is now offered to the public. The 
 entii'e series of fifty- two Frescoes is here represented ; — a Selection only of 
 Forty plates having been previously issued. 
 
 The Prints have been prepared under Mr. Gruner's superintendence by 
 S'gr. N. Consoni, one of the most distinguished draughtsmen in Rome, and 
 no pains have been spared to exhibit in them the grand simplicity of the 
 Originals. The large size of the Plates has enabled the Artist to give the 
 broad outlines of the Originals without omitting the finer lines which so 
 peculiarly characterize them. The Prints have been lithographed, in such 
 a style, however, as to resemble Engravings on wood, in order to avoid the 
 greatly increased expense which the latter would have involved ; but any 
 disadvantages connected with this have been more than counterbalanced by 
 the greater power which, on the plan adopted, the Artist has been enabled 
 himself to exercise over the Plates.

 " To those whose memories are old enough to go back through any 
 considerable portion of Turner's life, or who may have seen the majority of 
 the pictures he painted during so many years of loving labour, it will be at 
 once manifest that no better selection could have been made of paintings which 
 which could be got at by any reasonable means. Many of his grandest pro- 
 ductions are in this series of engravings, and the ablest landscape engravers 
 of the day have been employed on the plates, among which are some that, we 
 feel assured. Turner himself would have been deliglited to see. These proof 
 impressions constitute a volume of exceeding beauty, which deserves to find 
 a place in the library of every man of taste. The number of copies printed 
 is too limited for a wide circulation, but, on that account, the rarity of the 
 publication makes it the more valuable. It is not too much to affirm that a 
 more beautiful and worthy tribute to the genius of this great painter does 
 not exist, and is not likely to exist at any future time." — Art Journal.

 " Tiie most splendid work of any period connected with that interesting 
 kingdom, Spain, is Murphy's magnificent folio devoted to its Moorish 
 Antiquities — a work beyond all price, if the brilliancy and beauty of the 
 plates be considered. Too much cannot be said in commendation of this 
 extraordinary and most exquisite publication. . . . The interiors described, 
 both by the pencil and the pen, have the effect of encliantment. A delicacy, 
 brilliancy, singularity, and even dazzling richness, are the characteristics of 
 them." — Dihdins Bibliomavia. 
 
 In attestation of the extreme accuracy of these engravings, the 
 publisher was favoured with a strong confirmatory opinion from a most 
 distinguished scholar and traveller, who compa.ted them some years since on

 " The study of tlieso MantiscriiitM has, indeed, brought out tlie singular 
 fact, at a period when the Fine Arts may lie said to have hcen almost extinct 
 in Italy and other parts of the Continent — namidy t'roin the lilih to th(! en<l 
 of the eij^litii century —a style (»f art had heen established, cullivited, and 
 hrou^;ht to a wonderful state uf perfection in these islands, absolutely distinct 
 fioni that of all other parts of the civilized world, and whi(di was ailopted 
 and imitated in the schools foimded on th(! Continent by Charlennigiie, as 
 in the moinistic establi.-.hincids founded or visit(Ml by Anglo-Saxon or Irish 
 Missioiniries, many <if which became famous seats of learning."' — I'rcfacc. 
 
 On this subject .M. Digby Wyatt, one of the most accomijlislied of living 
 artists, observes : — '• In delicacy of handling, and minute but faultless 
 execution, the whole range of pahnograpliy offers nothing comparable to these 
 early Irish Manuscripts, and those produced in th.e saine style in England. 
 When in Dublin some years ago, I had the opportunity of studying very 
 carefully the most marvellous of them all — ' The Book of Kells ;' some of the 
 ornaments of which I attempted to copy, but broke down in det-pair- Of this 
 ivork Mr. Westrvood exi^mined tJie pages, as I did, for hours together, without 
 ever detecting a false line or irregular interlacement."

 IV. In reply to Inquiry No. IV, for a list of books 
 invoiced by me as having been printed over twenty 
 years, but actually printed within that period, — 
 I beg to deny that any such list has ever existed, 
 
 J*' and to refer to pp. 21, 22, 23 of this letter, in which 
 the allegations that have led to Inquiry No. IV, and 
 the facts upon wliich they are specially grounded, 
 are met and answered. 
 V. In reply to paragraph No. V of the Inquirj^, I 
 totally deny the fraudulency imputed to tlie invoice 
 of books consigned to Messrs. Thomas and Sons. 
 That invoice was made, and the value of the books 
 declared by me correctly to the best of my judgment. 
 The question of a few points admitting, by inherent 
 difficulty, of diversity of opinion, is sufficiently dis- 
 
 -28.] cussed on pp. 21-24 of this letter; to which once 
 more I beg to refer.

 Even should the superior judgment of the United 
 States' authorities consider that I have taken an 
 erroneous view of five or six books out of 300, such 
 a verdict ought under the circumstances to operate 
 only against a small fraction and not the whole 
 of the consignment. 
 
 I respectfully repeat that I shall always be glad to 
 give any further information in my power, and to 
 verify all my statements by oath if this is preferred. 
 
 I will freely put all my account books openly 
 before you, and if you, or anybody else charged by 
 you, should wish to make further investigations, 
 every facility shall be given. 
 
 I remain^ Sir, 
 Your obedient servant, 
 
 BERNARD QUARITCH.
