As originally contemplated, the idea was to hold at the University- Library an exhibition simply of its own treasures, acquired by pur- chase and by the generosity of friends, together with such other rare or beautiful books as were within easy reach. But a more compre- hensive plan was developed, to include as many kinds of printed work as might be found accessible, and, as far as jjracticable, to illustrate the history of the typographic art in various countries. For its realization, incomplete as it will appear to those conversant with the subject, special acknowledgments are due the numerous contributors, whose names appear below; and a certain self-gratula- tion may be pardoned us as bookdovers in glancing over a list of so many rare works — a fair representation, not in numbers, but in kind, of what is on the coast. Not in numbers; for lack of space alone prevented the presence of several hundred other volumes of perhajis equal significance, these likewise being I)ul a selection from among thousands. One work may represent a decade; a single engraving, its class. The exhibition divided itself naturally into three parts: printing, book illustration, book binding. The printed books, preceded by specimens of xylography and calli- graphy, were ordered by countries and in chronological sequence; and .'?7()7()9 4 Preface. in this list the same arrangement prevails. Again, the different kinds of illustration, and incidentally the various species of wood and metal engraving, were shown. Thirdly, an exemplification of the materials and ornamentation of the costume of books was attempted. To those who may have derived pleasure in viewing the collection, this Catalogue will afford additional gratification. To those whom opportunity did not favor, and to others of distant States and future tunes, it may be typical of the printed literary treasures now existent in this part of California, and indicative of the taste and culture of a large portion of our citizens. No surer token of the character of a community is perceptible than that which appears in the number and quality of the books it possesses. LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS. Sari Francisco Free Public Library F.

Cook, Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends of Learning and of the Uni- versity : The love of Californians for California, the love of the scholar for the Castalian founts of wisdom, of the antiquary for the precious memorials bequeathed by remote ages, of the artisan for unrivaled specimens of accurate handiwork, of the artist for what is rare and exquisite in his art, of the evolutionist for the landmarks of progress, and of the philanthropist for whatever is conducive to the welfare of human kind, all are fitly and admirably expressed in this exhibition of the book arts, and in your presence here this morning. When Prosper© is recounting to Miranda the story of former pros- perity and greatness, of his brother's treachery and the abandonment of father and infant daughter to the perils of the deep, our indigna- tion at the black ingratitude of Antonio is (luelled for a moment by the touch of Gonzalo's humanity, and we pause to rejoice with the simple-hearted master of nature and explorer of men's souls, as he dwells on the crowning kindness of his loyal servitor : "So, of liis goiitleiiess, Knowing I loved my books, he furnishM nie, From mine own library, with volumos that I prize above my fhikcdcni.' In his attachment to literature and enthusiastic cherishing of the symbols and instruments of its might, the gentle-souled wizard stands not alone. He is but one in a procession of magnanimous devotees 8 Opening Address by and patrons of learning, of whom none is more real, though none is so mythical as himself, and whose names glow with a purer radiancy that, in every age, they have been less numerous .than select. The bead-roll includes such monarchs as Ptolemy Soter and Ptolemy Philadelphus, of the land famous for its wisdom even in the time of Moses, Hiero of Syracuse, Augustus of Rome, and Alfred of England; poets like the austere singer of the Inferno, the laureate Petrarch, and the soul-illumined Milton, royal and noble collectors like Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester, Charles the Fifth of France, Philip the Good of Burgundy, and Lorenzo the Magnificent of Florence ; scholars like Bluntschli, whose historical library has but recently been presented by the citizens of Baltimore to the John Hopkins University, or like Lieber and Benfey, whose stores have contributed to the gracing of these alcoves; librarians like Panizzi of the British Museum, not to mention distinguished contemporaries in our own country, and bene- factors of humanity like him within whose walls we stand, and him whose munificence has made this rotunda a scene of varied and pro- ductive industry, and to whom we are indebted for the most consider- able yearly accessions to the number of these volumes. These latter names I need not mention ; it is enough to say of them, ''Si moniDiieiituni qiiceris, cirawispice." I have spoken above of the cherishing of books as the symbols and instruments of the might of literature. Symbols and instruments, I say, though in logical strictness it would be preferable to say instruments and symbols. The distinction is a useful one, and it is the principle upon which bibliography is divided into two heads : intellectual and material. Books may be prized for a virtue with which they are replete, and which they communicate to every reader in proportion to his intelli- gence and receptivity. It is in this sense that Milton speaks of them in these notable words : " Books are not absolutely dead things, but do contain a potency of life in them to be as active as that soul whose progeny they are ; nay, they do preserve as in a vial the finest efficacy and extraction of the living intellect that bred them." It is this potency in books, a dormant energy ready at any moment to be converted into actual, resistless power, only to become once more datic in the eciuilibrium of the accomplished deed, which is even now turning the gaze of American educators and American people upon the spiritual treasures bequeathed us by our English ancestry. To Professor Albert S. Cook. awaken a quenchless ardor in the discovery and application of truth ; to kindle within the breast a flame which shall consume all that is vile and creeping and venomous; to cultivate the fancy, refine the heart, and present noble objects to the imagination ; this, if we likewise include their services as the vehicles of instruction, is the function of books considered as literature. But books that are without past intrinsic merit may yet become valuable and almost priceless as symbols. There is a factitious esti- mation in which things are held, simply because of their rarity, and it is no doubt true that many a collector has been induced to pay a high price for a trumpery volume, merely on account of its being one of a very small edition, and without regard to its significance in the history of culture. But the \alues attached to the earliest printed works ultimately depend upon the growing importance of literature considered as dynamic and illuminative. With every extension of the intellectual horizon, with every arrow shot by the sun of knowledge into some murky corner of the universe, with every new device for imparting the genial and quickening influences of literature to .souls imbruted by ignorance and sunk in bestiality, there is an increase in the number of those who regard the inventors of printing with curios- ity and admiration, and consequently a more numerous band of com- petitors for the earliest productions of famous presses. The Valdarfer Decameron, originally obtained for loo guineas by an ancestor of the Duke of Roxburghe, brought 2,260 pounds ster- ling at the sale of the Duke's library in 1812. In 1682 fourteen Caxtons sold for ^^3 15s. yd., while in 1812 twelve volumes of the same press were disposed of for ^2,951, and one volume alone was purchased for ^1,060. This appreciation in value cannot be ac- counted for by the superior fineness of paper, presswork, or binding, since the delicacy and beauty of the best modern printing is not greatly surpassed by the most painstaking of the early typographers. Nor are its causes to be found alone in the larger fortunes of modern collectors, which enable them more easily to gratify expensive tastes, or in the gradual destruction of rarities, enhancing the value of those that remain. Rather are they to be traced to a wider appreciation of the symbolic character belonging to such volumes as unique repre- sentatives of the art preservative of all arts — as trophies erected by those Argonauts who had ventured upon an unknown sea and had lo Opeuino- Address by returned with spoils won by their own hardihood and persistence, but which were to enrich the common brotherhood of man. Time would fail to give even the briefest sketch of the invention and history of the typographic art. Like other arts, its beginnings were humble. The first attempts were crude, and success was pur- chased only at the cost of repeated failures. Europe seems to have derived its first ideas upon this, as upon so many other subjects, from the Orient. Wafted over land and sea, men knew not how they took root in the new soil, and in time grew into a wonderful harvest. Travelers from far Cathay, like Marco Polo and Mandeville, may have brought home tales of the Chinese playing cards, of their block books, or even of the printing done by means of porcelain types. But, however various tlie hypotheses, or conflicting the accounts, modern authorities are practically unanimous in awarding the highest meed of praise to John Gutenberg, the patient artificer of Mainz. To him, more than to any other man, are we indebted for the regu- larity with which the newspaper, that daily epitome of the world's history, is laid at our doors, for the multiplication of books on every conceivable subject of human interest, and for the spread of those free institutions which ever go hand in hand with true enlightenment. So long as it was necessary to copy books with the pen, they were practically out of the reach of the multitude. In 1274 a laborer could have a fairly written Bible only at the cost of seventeen years of incessant toil, and then only by devoting every penny of his wages to this object. It is needless to .say that this was impossible, and that hence it was virtually beyond his power even to own a copy of the Scriptures. Alcuin, one of the most celebrated scholars of his age, and, as we should say, minister of education to the Emperor Charlemagne, occu- pied himself twenty-two years in making a copy of the Bible for that monarch. Books were still expensive after the introduction of print- ing, and the reason will be ai)parent when wc are tohl that tlie skins of three hundred sheep were reciuired for every copy of the first printed P>ible. P.ut the prices rapidly fell, especially after paper was substituted for vellum. Mallam calculates that a saving of four fifths was effected by the use of typography, and another authority states that the price of a book, which would have cost one hundred golden crowns in manuscript, was reduced to four pieces of (he same denomination. Professor Albert S. Cook. 1 1 The golden age of jirinting followed. A knowledge of the "divine art," as the printer Jensen called it, was rapidly disseminated through- out Europe, thus proving that the discovery had come none too early. The Italians soon became celebrated for the clearness, accuracy, and elegance of their impressions. Thirty years after (kitenberg had elaborated his invention, the fall of Constantinople had dispersed Greek, scholars throughout western Europe. Most of them sought refuge in Italy, and then became instru- mental in inaugurating the revival of ancient learning. About this time Aldus began his career in Venice, and gave to the world the first of that long series of editiones principes oi iXxc Greek authors which has given his name such celebrity. Before 1516, over sixty works in tlie Greek language had issued from the Aldine press, besides a number in Latin. Of these the present exhibition contains the Euripides of 1503, and the Catullus of 1502. Nearer home, under the shadow of England's monumental abbey, where repose the bones of her greatest, and whither the feet of all Americans who touch her shores first tend, Caxton, returning from Bruges and Cologne, where he had acquainted himself with the mysteries of printing, and already begun its prac- tice on his own account, set up the first English press. Here he was to print Malory's "Morte d'Arthur," the first edition of Chaucer, and several thousand folio pages besides, including many translations of his own. Here among other works he was to print a translation by Earl Rivers, a brother-in-law of King Edward tlie Fourth, entitled "The Dictes and Sayings of the Philosophers," of which a fac simile is here awaiting your examination. It was not till 1638, two years after the founding of Harvard College, that a printing office was established in the English Colonies, and it was from this office at Cambridge, Massachusetts, that Steijhen 1 )a}e put forth in the follow- ing year a work Ijcaring the significant title of "The Freeman's Oath." The passion of collecting and preser\ing antique books, and such as are remarkable for some peculiar excellence, is sometimes character- ized as bibliomania, and those wlio are denominated bibliomaniacs are held uj) as moon-struck entlnisiasts, or are censured for their vanity in endeavoring to outstrip a rival, or for their selfishness in lavishing money in the acquisitions of rarities, which are then hidden away from the public view, and often from the sight of the owner himself Such charges could not, it is evident, be seriously brought against those 1 2 Opening Address by who have contributed to the present exhibition, "rheir standing in the church, in the legal, medical, and other professions, and in the community, would be a sufficient answer to an insinuation like the former, and the generosity and public spirit evinced in the hearty co- operation of all to whom the project has been mentioned, and in the case of rare and priceless volumes, that the owners might share their enjoyment with the whole public, would completely overthrow a hypothesis like the latter. Unquestionably, the term bibliomania is often misapplied ; a better designation would be bibliophilist, or lover of books, Why should any one think it any discredit to say, with the Emperor Julian: "Some are lovers of horses, some of birds, and some of wild beasts, but it has been my ardent longing, from my earliest boyhood, to be a col- lector and owner of books." And, if of books, why not of those that are all concerned in beholding and inspecting, that mark the gradual perfection of an art that has had a powerful agency in laying broad the foundations of popular government, insuring public order and tranquillity, and diffusing far and wide the invitations and bene- dictions of religion? What though the beginning be rude, the black-letter difficult to decipher, and the wood-cuts bordering upon caricature? Consider the difficulties with which these heroic souls, these ministers of cul- ture, were forced to contend, and the smile of derision will give place to sentiments of admiration and gratitude. The embellishments and rich bindings of more modern books deserve passing notice. It may be doubted whether the inexpensive publications which bring knowledge within reach of the poorest have not rendered us indifferent to the proper correspondences, the grace- ful harmonies, between the subject-matter of a volume and its external adornment. Shakespeare has said : " Tliiit book in niaiiy's eyes ilotli shiiro tliu glory That in gold clasps locks in the golden story." And a writer of the seventeenth century has the following pithy seri- tence: "Suffer them not to lie neglected who must make you regarded; nor to go in ttjrn coats, who must apparel your mind with the orna- ments of knowledge above the robes and riches of the most magnificent ])rinces." These words contain a principle worthy of being regarded. Professor Albert S. Cook. i It is, tlial learning deserves the homage of riches; that the shrines whence the immortal dead confer healing scarcely less than miraculous upon the living, may be fitly adorned with gold and curiously chased wrappages, and that the oracles which reveal the future, explain the present, and throw backward light upon the i)ast, may well be fenced about with carven ivory, and screened with coverings wrought in crimson and in blue. But to detain you here with listening to justifications and encomi- ums of what you are presently to see would be a work of supereroga- tion. The taste and liberality of citizens of California have placed before you this array of books and manuscripts for inspection and study ; the Librarian who' presides at this desk has been indefatigable in collecting them, in guarding them from injury, in classifying them and ascertaining their history; the committee of the Regents have lent the enterprise their sanction and encouragement; and the Uni- versity, recognizing in this assemblage a sign of hopeful augury for the future of scholarship upon the Pacific Coast, extends to you, through me, a cordial greeting. In the name of the University, then, I declare this exhibition open, and bid you welcome. CATALOGUE.

Note on Mexican Printing. — The earliest printing in America was done in Mexico, and the first book wa.s possibly the "Escala espiritnal" of 1.5:i(>. .loannes Paiihis Brixianus, the printer of tlif "i inlinationes" Cl-MO), (cited \>y Unmet, Graesse. and others), styles himself "typograpluis primns in hac magna eivitate Mexici." llanis.se (Bibl. Amer. vetns., pp. :i7:!, 4:5;i) denies the existence of an "Ordinationes" in Latin of 1549, which passed for some years as the first Amer- ican printed book. The first woi'k, now extant, is the Manual de Adultos, printed in 1540 by .Juan Cromberger. 259.
