On the third leaf: Cy commence la premiere partie des quatre derrenieres choses qui sont a aduenir . . . small folio, printed in red and black, three leaves missing in the last sheet, large copy with rough leaves, in the original binding, with some nearly contemporary notes on the pages, in a red morocco case, 500. Sine nota [? Brugis, circ. 1472] (No. 2 type ; Blades, No. 6.) Only one other copy known, which is in the British Museum, and which is described by Mr. Blades as having 72 leaves and as perfect. If it has only 72 leaves it cannot be perfect. The original MS. signatures are still visible in the copy above described, and the collation may be given as follows : a, 6, c, d, in sheets of eight leaves each (the first leaf of a was a blank) ; e in ten leaves ; /, g, h, i, in eight leaves each. The leaves deficient are i 2, i 7, i 8, that is, three leaves out of a complete sequence of 73 (or, counting the first blank, 74). This book is in the identical type used by Caxton in the first twelve books which he printed in England in 1477-78, but is in irregular lines like the few which were produced by him on the continent between 1471 and 1475, and although not, like these, in the so-called type No. 1, it is, like these, marked with the pin-holes by which the press-man kept the paper straight. None of Caxton's books printed in England show these marks. As the type of the QUATRE DERRENIERES CHOSES does not appear in any book produced on the continent after Caxton left Bruges for England in 1475-76, the book can only have been printed some time before 1475, at the press at which Caxton first learned the art in 1471-72. The connection which Mr. Blades has established between Caxton and Colard Mansion is plausible, but not wholly satis- factory. After all, it cannot be gainsaid that there is no book certainty known to have been produced by the latter printer which is in the Caxton types, although he used some types of similar style ; and it cannot be clearly shown that Colard Mansion printed anything before 1475. The early history of Caxton's typographical labours is still a mystery, of which Mr. Bradshaw might be induced to undertake the solution. The present volume is one of its most precious documents. 2114 BERNARD QUARITCH'S GENERAL CATALOGUE. 21840 BOECIUS DE CONSOLACIONE PHILOSOPHIE.

Altogether about twenty-five or twenty-six copies are known, but only five of them are perfect besides this. Of the five perfect copies, one is in the Grenville library, one in the Pepysian library at Cambridge, one in Lord Spencer's library, one in the Astor library of New York, and the fifth was in the library of the late Beriah Botfield. None of these five copies, except the Grenville, can be compared with the above for excellence of condition. Yet the book is so desirable, even when approximately complete, that Lord Charlemont's copy, wanting two leaves, fetched in 1865, 477. 15s. 21844 GOWER (John) CONFESSIO AMANTIS: that is to say in Englyshe the Confessyoii of a Lover, folio, the first leaf of the table in facsimile, otherwise perfect, 2116 BERNARD QUARITCH'S GENERAL CATALOGUE. a very fine and sound copy in russia extra, broad leather joints, tooled, from the Perldns library, 380.

This volume is one of the rarest and most intrinsically valuable of Caxton's publications. It is the Editio Princeps of a great poem by one of the earliest English poets. There are about five perfect and eleven imperfect copies (some very defective) now extant. Of the five perfect copies, one is in the British Museum, and three in the libraries of the Duke of Devonshire, Lord Dysart, and Lord Spencer. The fifth, which belonged to Lord Selsey, was sold at Sotheby's in 1872, and fetched 670. 21845 GOWER'S CONFESSIO AMANTIS, sm. folio, another copy of Caxton's edition, wanting Jive leaves in the body of the book, which are supplied in MS. and having the table in facsimile, calf, from the Way collection, 75.

The two perfect copies are, one in the British Museum, one in the Bodleian (stained and scribbled over). The above is consequently the only perfect copy that is still purchasable, and as it is not only perfect, but has also the blank leaf of signature m, must be considered one of the most precious volumes of the Caxton press. Even of the five imperfect copies, two are in public libraries, and one in that of Lord Spencer. This poem by Lydgate is a monumental work in English literature. 21847 CHRISTINE DE PISAN. Here begynneth the BOOK OF FAYTTES OF ARMES AND OF CHYUALRYE [BY XPRYSTYNE OF PYSE], ENGLISH LITERATURE : WILLIAM CAXTON. 2117 small folio, a very fine and very large copy, lO^- by 7i inches, quite complete, morocco super extra, tooled in the old style, gilt edges, by J. Clarke, 260. Per Caxton (1489) (No. 6 type ; Blades, No. 74.) There exist eleven perfect and nine imperfect copies ; but of the former, six are in public libraries and others in such safe private collections as those of Lord Spencer and Mr. Huth. The Duke of Roxburghe's copy sold for 336 ; the Corser copy, 250 ; and Mr. Huth gave for his copy, a poor one, mended and washed throughout, 255 at one of Libri's sales. The above copy is a most desirable example of Caxton's press, being in wonderfully fine condition. The first blank leaf bears the autograph inscription of "Samuell Rowley," the playwright of James I's time. The value of books printed by England's first pressman has doubled or even trebled of late years ; and no one can say to what an extravagant height good copies of his productions may not yet rise, in view of the ever-increasing prosperity and bookish tastes of English and American society. 21848 DICTES and Sayings of the Philosophers, facsimile reproduction of the first book printed in England by William Caxton in 1477, 4to. cloth, 20s Elliot Stock, 1877 21849 CAXTON (W.)

[Colophon:] Here ende the Chroniclis of englode with the irate of timis, small folio, with a woodcut representation of London ; jive leaves in facsimile and twenty-two others deficient, bound in red morocco extra, gilt edges, by Bedford, 300. Sanctus Albanus, s. d. [circa 1484] No perfect copy of this excessively rare book is known to be in existence. Of the half-dozen recorded copies, all are more or less defective ; that in the Grenville library being the only one which has ever been completed even by the aid of fac- similes. The woodcut marked " London " on reverse of C iv (but which is in reality only a picture of the Tower of London) is the first engraved representation of the city which has become the capital of the world. There are few books so rare as those which were printed by the anonymous Schoolmaster of St. Albans, whose impressions were far more limited than those of his contemporary Caxton. He issued, so far as we know, only eight volumes, and worked from 1480 to 1486. The St. Albans' Chronicle contains the Brute Chronicle as current in the Middle Ages, from the story of Geoffrey of Monmouth and others ; but the text is more ample than that in the so-called "Caxton's Chronicle." It is a curious thing, hitherto unknown, that folios D4 and D5 (in the second series of signatures) were reprinted by the Schoolmaster. They contain an account of the rival papacies of Rome and Avignon, beginning with the following words : " And here began the xxii strifte in the chirch. And it wos more wors than euer was ony other befor, for it was so sotill that the wisest men that wer and the best conciencied colde not discerne with whom it was best to say and hold." Since the reprinted leaves contain no alteration of the text, as one might have expected, it is probable that those leaves were destroyed in several copies at the very time of issue by order of some scrupulous ecclesiastic, and that the printer was authorized to reproduce them without charge by the wiser Abbot of St. Albans, William of Wallingford. Any one who wishes to compare his copy with another may be informed that the obverse of D 4 ends with This in one edition and with This lone- in the other. ENGLISH LITERATURE : ST.

A much better and larger (11 inches) copy than that of Lord Devon (1(H inches) which was unpleasantly washed, having previously been in very soiled condition, so that portions of the impression have faded almost out of sight. This copy has also some original blank leaves which are not in that. A common error assigns this work to the authorship of a " Dame Juliana Berners," a supposed " Abbess of Sopwell," a lady of the family of the Lords Berners, all, as Mr. Blades judiciously points out, on the strength of the following words on the first sign. f4 " Explicit Dam Julyans Barnes, in her boke of Huntyng," although even in this inscription the word is Julians not Juliana. It really refers to nothing beyond the 23 pp. of verse which precede it upon " the manor of huntyng for all maner of bestys," in which a Dame addresses" my dere chylde," 145 2120 BERNARD QUARITCH'S GENERAL CATALOGUE. " my sonnys," " my lief chyldre," and uses the following phrase " Say, chylde, where ye goo, youre dame taght you so." She also instructs them, what to do when they have taken a hart, and tells them, after having cut it up, " Than bryng it hoom, and the skynne with all The nombles and the homes at the lordis yate Than boldely blow the price tharat " which plainly shows that she did not write, as Mr. Blades imagined, for scions of the aristocracy, but for simple foresters who aided in the chase. Indeed we may go much further and question the very existence of the lady, except as a personifi- cation of the Domus Juliani or St. Julian's Hospital near St. Alban's. Her book is the Barnes' book of Hunting, or (as Wynkyn de "Worde put it) the Barnes' Doctrine, and is simply a work of rhymed instructions from a supposed schoolmistress (Dame) to her Barns, or school-children. Such a work we can have little difficulty in believing to be the original composition of the mysterious " schoolmaster of St. Albans," personifying in a supposititious authoress the affiliated establishment called the Domus Juliani. As for the use of the word Barnes or bairns, it occurs frequently in old English books and MSS., and the " school- master " seems from his dialect and spelling to have belonged to Northumberland or Yorkshire. The special treatise on hunting, which closes with the Explicit above referred to, is followed by a collection of names and properties of beasts of the chase set forth in rhymed and proverbial sentences, such as "A grehounde shulde be heded like a snake and necked like a drake," etc. "Well travelid women ner well travelid hors wer neuer goode." " Fer from thy kynnysmen kest thee, Wi-ath not thy neighborys next thee, In a goode corne cuntre threste thee, And sitte downe Robyn and rest thee." " Who thet byldys his hous all of salowes And prickyth a blynde hors ouer the falowys And suffrith his wyfe to seche mony halowys God send hym the blysse of everlastyng galowis." The type in which the book is printed is very like that which Caxton used in several of his books, but is nevertheless a totally distinct fount, and must have been obtained, along with the paper on which they are impressed, from Flanders. The larger-typed headings are identical with Caxton's No. 3 type, and may have been, as Mr. Blades suggests, printed from the fount which Caxton rejected after some years' use, in 1484. The water-marks in the paper are the same as in the paper used by Caxton, with the exception of the -crowned shield, which, as it appears on a thickly printed page, is not very easy to trace, but ENGLISH LITERATURE : EARLY PRESSES. 2121 is evidently a different figure from the shield of France which appears in some of Caxton's paper. It is interesting from the Shakespearian collector's point of view that we find in the Book of St. Albans a representation of the Lucy Coat of Arms, as borne by Geoffrey or Galfrid de Lucy (in Henry Ill's time). 21858*THE BOKE OF SAINT ALBANS by Dame Juliana Berners, containing treatises on Hawking, Hunting and Cote Armour, printed at Saint Albans by the Schoolmaster- Printer in 1486, reproduced in facsimile with introduction by W.

It contains likewise essays on the production of colours (Dyeing), on the making of cheese and butter, on the practice and theory of Music, on Mathematics, Arithmetic, etc., and is in fact an Encyclopaedia of the then prevalent knowledge. It was one of the most popular books of the XlVth, XVth, and XVIth Centuries ; and was translated into most of the European languages. " It is," says Dibdin, " perhaps the most magnificent publication which ever issued from De Worde's press. The paper, press-work, and embellishments are perhaps unrivalled by the efforts of any other artist in our country within the fifteenth century." It was printed on some of the earliest paper made in England (see the verses at the end of the vol.), an interesting fact, as showing that splendid paper was manufactured here nearly a century before the time usually assigned for its first production ENGLISH LITERATURE : EARLY PRESSES. 2123 at Dartford in Kent. The John Tate mentioned in the verses at the end of the vol. as the maker of this paper, was probably the Lord Mayor of London in 1496, and knighted for his services against the rebels at Blackheath. The rarity of this book in fair condition is extreme. It is missing in some of the most celebrated collections of early printed English books.

He was a native of Salisbury, a Fellow of New College, Oxford, and Master of Eton in the year 1485. After he had resigned this post "and retired into private life, being then an old man, his friend William Attwater, Bishop of Lincoln, persuaded him to publish the lessons he had used during his mastership. The sentences of which the book consists are given in both Latin and English, the latter being the original, and frequently alluding to events of his own time.

Bedford, EXTREMELY BARE, 125. Emprentyd by me Eicharde de Pynson, 1493 This was the first book printed by Pynson with a date, and appears to be the copy which sold for 50 in Wilks's sale in 1847, and for the same sum in Stevens's in 1857. According to Lowndes, it had been supposed that the book should contain a final leaf with Pynson 's device, but he also mentions that the fact had been expressly denied. I have seen it stated that a copy is known having a final leaf of that sort, but it has also been supposed that the notion of its existence originated in the words of Ames (whose description was transcribed by Dibdin in its integrity), which I cite as follows : " The copy before me has only seven [leaves in the last sheet] ; probably the eighth had his device or ... had the cut on the title-page repeated." That in Lord Spencer's library has not any such leaf ; and besides his copy, only three others are known. The author of this curious work was Henry Parker, of Doncaster, a Carmelite. He preached against the pomp of the priesthood and reproved the prelates for the possession of wealth and their modes of living, which he contrasted with the utter poverty of which Christ had given example. He was compelled to do public penance and ask pardon for his scandalous* state- ments ; but the winged words had gone forth ; and Pynson printed them in 14 ( J3 with the title of Dives and Pauper; followed in 1496 by Wynkin de Worde. The book is full of curious and suggestive matter, historical allusions, and racy proverbial phrases. The style of the Dialogue appears in the following specimens : "Dives. Thou art the more fole. But it is a comon proverbe A foles bolte is sone shotte. Abyde and aunswere, and I wol ley an hundiyd pounde that I shalle preve thee by gode argumentes that he is but a fole whiche wyl nat bisye him to be riche." " It felle late in this londe that a Scott appelyd an Englissh man of high tresone, whane he shudd fighte bifore a Juge in their cause, the Juge as the maner is, putt them bothe to their othe. Whane the Scott shulde swere he said to the Juge, Lorde I came nat hyder to swere, I came to fight, for my chalenge was to fight, a-nd therto I am redy, but swere wol I nat for I made no chalenge to swere." 21874 BRANDT (Sebastian).

By Rycharde Pynson, 1509 21874* facsimiles of folio 274, the last leaf, 21s (1509-1883) Barclay translated probably from a copy of the Paris edition of 1495, but his version is so free and so diffuse that he may be said to have made the work his own, and transformed it into a satire upon his own people. The woodcuts are close copies of those in the original. The Latin text is given as well as the English paraphrase. Amongst the additional matter scattered throughout the text by Barclay is a panegyric upon James IV, whom he designates the arm, and upon Henry VII, whom he proposes as the head, of a new crusade against the Turks. A reference to America is found on the reverse of folio cxxxix, where the new discoveries made for King Ferdi- nand in the west, and other discoveries possibly yet to be made, are pointed out as showing the folly of map-makers. 21875 TUNSTAL (Bishop). DE ARTE SVPPVTANDI libri qvattvor Cvtheberti Tonstalli, small 4to. singularly large copy, with numerous uncut leaves, olive morocco extra, gilt edges, by Riviere, 30. Londini in aedibvs Richardi Pynsoni, 1522 The first book on Arithmetic printed in England. Most copies have not the additional leaf of Errata which is found in this copy, and which seems to have been printed for Bishop Tunstal after the publication of the book. That leaf has besides a distinct value as containing the Register for collation of the book. An extra leaf of paper precedes it, with further errata, in MS., which is stated to be in the handwriting of the bishop himself, and which would therefore prove that this was his own copy. In the preliminary epistle to Sir Thomas More, Tunstal gives a curious account of the origin of this work. It seems that in his dealings with certain goldsmiths, or silversmiths, he suspected that the accounts were fraudulently prepared, and therefore he made a special study of the forgotten science of his boyhood arithmetic in order to be able to check the figures. The result of his labours was a book for his own use, which, on being appointed Bishop of London, he thought no longer necessary to his new station, but probably worthy of being printed for the use of others. 21876 FROISSART.

Richarde Pynson, 1527 A charming volume, equally desirable under several aspects ; as a book of great rarity, as a production of one of England's earliest printers, as a specimen of ancient wood engraving in this country, and as containing the text of an old English poem. On folio A ii, in the prologue of the translator, we find the following stanza : My maister Chaucer with his fressh commediee Is deed alas ! chefe poete of Bretayne That somtyme made full pitous tragedies The fall of princes he did also complayne As he that was of makyng soverayne Whom all this lande of right ought preferre Sithe of our language he was the lode sterre. The judgment of Lydgate concerning Chaucer, as well as the words in which he expresses it, is noteworthy. He calls him " of making sovereign," i.e. the King of Poetry ; showing thus that the original sense of the word poet was not forgotten in its English equivalent.

Ant. without alteration, as the latter had not been able to find a copy to refer to. This translation was made by Caxton, and it has been remarked that he made use of the word " breeches " (made from fig-leaves) in Genesis iii. 7, thus anticipating by about eighty years the Genevan Bible to which that word has been applied as a distinguishing epithet. 21880 ALANUS AB INSULTS.

This though not agreeing exactly with that description is evidently from the same press. The woodcuts are those used by Pynson. This is apparently a translation into English of the famous " Compost ct Kalendriers des Bergiers," a work once of the greatest popularity, as is attested by the numerous editions of it, all of which are now of the greatest rarity. The work is written in prose and verse, and besides an Almanack, Directions for finding Easter and other movable Feasts, the Eclipses, Descriptions of the Months, etc., contains several curious Pieces, amongst which are most remarkable '-the Tree of Vices" (in verse) ; " the Pains of llcll" (in prose, with woodcuts showing the torments of the damned) ; " the Garden of Virtues " (in prose) ; the Lord's Prayer, Belief, Decalogue, Ballad of the Wise Man.

XTV-XV These works, both written in English by Richard Rolle Hermit of Hampole, are valuable as specimens of English versification and prose in the XlVth century. The Treatise written for a Hermit, in prose, seems to be very scarce and almost unknown. It begins thus "In euereche synful man or womman yt is bounden in dedli synne beth thre wrecchid- nesses." In the list of Rolle's works given by Tanner, there are two with which it might be identified : the Treatise on active life and contemplative life ; and that addressed " to an anchoresse." The MS. was written by a South-English scribe probably in the reign of Richard II, and is in excellent condition. The writing is clear and good, and the text offers variants which are not without interest. As a small instance, I note on line 48 " in fele kyndes," where Mr. Morris's edition has sere (which he glosses " several") instead otfele (many). In the orthography we find uche for each,fulth for filth, etc. The book belonged to Dame Alice Burton, and her cousin Margaret, in the early part of the fifteenth century.

Chaucer, although he died before Gower, was younger than the latter, and is sometimes called his disciple. The present MS. contains the earlier recension of the work, dedicated to Richard the Second, and comprises the com- plimentary verses concerning Chaucer, which for some reason were omitted in the second issue, dedicated to Henry of Lan- caster, when Gower cancelled his verses on King Richard. 21885 TOWNELEY MYSTERIES. A famous unique volume of early English Mysteries or Miracle-Plays, supposed to have been written at Woodkirk, in Yorkshire, in the Cell of Augustinian or Black Canons, for the amusement and edification of persons attending those Pageants at WaJcefield, or at Wood- JiirJt Fair, folio, MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, written in a bold hand with Initial Letters ornamented with the Pen, having the Speeches separated by lines of red Inlc, olive morocco extra, gold tooling, tooled leather joints, gilt edges, by C. Lewis, 820. about 1430 The Mysteries (or Miracle Plays) contained in this remark- able Volume are : Creatio, Mactatio Abel, Processus Noe cum Filiis, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Processus Prophetarum, Pharao, Cre.sar Augustus, Annunciatio, Salutacio Elizabeth, Prima Pagina Pastorum, Secunda Pagina Pastorum, Oblacio Magorum, Fugacio Joseph et Marise in ./Egyptum, Magnus Herodes, Purificacio Marise, Pagina Doctorum, Johannes Baptista, Con- spiracio et Capcio, Coliphizatio Flagellacio, Processus Crucis, Crucifixio, Processus Talentorum, Extractio Animarum ab Inferno, Resurrectio Domini, Peregrini, Thomas India), Ascencio Domini, Juditium, Lazarus, and Suspentio Judoe (this last is in a later handwriting and was probably added towards the end of the XVth century). The language of these Pageants betrays a northern origin and the Secunda Pastorum, described by 2132 BERNARD QUARITCH'S GENERAL CATALOGUE. Mr. Collier as " the most singular Piece in the whole collection," offers local allusions tending strongly to corroborate the claim of Woodkirk to the production of these Mysteries. The word ll'akefield, written by the original scribe in the heading of the first and of the third piece, seems to indicate beyond a doubt that the mysteries were played in that town. The editor of the volume published for the Surtees Society did not observe this fact. He was evidently under the impression that " Wakefield " was in the same somewhat later hand in which are written in one place the word "barkers," in the other the word " glovers," and in a third and fourth " lytsters " and " fysshers " the names of the guilds or trades which performed the pieces in question. But whether Woodkirk or Wakefield be the spot in which this volume was produced and the two places are not far apart the MS. remains a wonderful and priceless monument of old English dramatic literature, and one of the chief glories of the literary history and language of Yorkshire. It is not known when this volume first came into the possession of the Towneley family. Their early connection with Yorkshire, as well as Lancashire, enables us to surmise that it may have formed part of the Towneley collection at a remote period, or that at least it was in the fine library formed by John Towneley who died in 1607, whose great love for his books was evinced by the bindings in which he had them covered, all bearing his arms and motto. 21886 [CAELIELL (Lodowick)] Arviragus and Philicia (a romantic Tragedy), 2 parts in 1 vol. sm. 4to. neatly written M8. on paper, old calf binding, 2. 2s about 1638 This is probably the author's autograph MS.

It has also preserved numerous verses of the Elizabethan and ante- Elizabethan period, nowhere else to be met with, and the names of poets who are not otherwise known in literary history than by their mention in England's Parnassus. It has hitherto been the custom to consider that the initials R.

Both of them were printed with the names of various booksellers on the titles, but the distinction is to be marked between the dated and the undated book, the publisher's name being no criterion whatever. 21950 CHAUCER (G.)

" MY DEAR SIR, This first Lay Sermon was addressed especially to Metaphysicians und Theologians by profession, and espe- cially to the Members of the Established Church, too many of whom, I fear, treat the Articles of their Faith as the whale treated Jonah swallowing what they cannot digest, but with this difference to their disadvantage, that what they cannot digest they are yet not permitted to throw up. " This tract you will not find as inter- esting generally as the Second Sermon, but yet the passages, marked below, will I think please you for their own merits, and I dare flatter myself somewhat beyond it for the sake of, my dear Sir, " Your and Mrs. Rogers's sincere and affectionate friend, " S.

Even the reprint made by Haslewood and Sir Egerton Brydges is now scarce. In fact the work is the rarest and best of old English poetical miscellanies.

The Returne from Parnassus, in which the poets of the time are treated with severity, contains on the reverse of signature B 2, a very curious mention of Shakespeare. It is in a passage in which Ingenioso mentions the names of the contem- porary poets, one by one, and Judicio so criticizes them. Thus " William Shakespeare Who loves Adonis' love, or Lucrece' rape His sweeter verse containes hart-robbing life ; Could but a graver subject him content, Without love's foolish languishment." Marlowe's character is summed up in " Wit lent from Heaven, but vices sent from hell." 2148 BERNARD QUARITCH'S GENERAL CATALOGUE.

Dray ton's Poly-Olbion is, according to Mr. G. Ellis, " a wonderful work, exhibiting at once the learning of an historian, an antiquary, a naturalist, and a geographer : embellished with the imagination of a poet." Mr. Gifford also says, it contains " many passages of high poetic beauty." That elegant critic, Rev. H. Headly, justly observes, " Dray ton's Poly-Olbion is one of the most singular works this country has produced, and seems to me eminently original. The information contained in it is in general so accurate that he is quoted as an authority both by Hearne and Wood. His perpetual allusions to obsolete traditions, remote events, remarkable facts and personages, together with his curious genealogies of rivers, and his taste for natural history, have contributed to render his work very valuable to the Antiquary." 22022 POEMS, collected into one Volume with sondry Peeces inserted never before imprinted, smallest folio, portrait by Hole and engraved title, fine copy in red morocco extra, gilt edges, by Pratt, 12. 12s John SmethivicJc, 1619 The Odes, the Owl, the Eclogues, and the Man in the Moone, appear in this edition only : otherwise the text corresponds with that of the little volume of 1637. 22023 Poems, 18mo. engraved title containing portrait by Marshall, vellum, 2. 1637 The Legend of Great Cromwell is added in this edition ; a few sonnets are omitted, and some alterations are made which indicate Drayton's last revision. 22024 Muses Elizium, lately discovered by a new way over Parnassus.

Through five cantos the reader is regaled with nothing but allegorical anatomy, in the details of which Phineas seems tolerably well skilled, evincing a great deal of ingenuity in diversifying his metaphors, and in presenting the delineation of his imaginary island with as much justice as possible to the allegory, without obtruding it on the reader's view.

The continuation will be supplied regularly at 6s per volume. Every genuine student of Shakspere has always desired to own those Quartos of the Master's Plays and Poems which are the necessary foundations of the Text of so many of his greatest productions in the first three periods of his work. Not only in importance next to the FIRST FOLIO, but even above it, for some Plays, and for all the Poems, stand the first or second QUARTOS, from which, or completed copies of which, certain Plays in that Folio were printed ; and every true and faithful worker at Shakspere's text must want to have in his own hand, under his own eye, and as his own, trustworthy facsimiles of these truest representations of the poet's own manuscript. Till now this has been practically impossible. Mr. Ashbee's hand-traced facsimiles, issued by Mr. Halliwell at five guineas each, could be afforded by only some thirty subscribers. But what then cost five guineas, without any information as to the Quartos purchased, will now be buyable, in a new form, for six shillings, with the addition of a critical Introduction to the text, by a competent Shakspere scholar. It is hoped that all students and lovers of our great poet will at once come forward to support this new scheme, and render its success certain and speedy. The New Shakspere Society at first intended to reprint the best Shakspere Quartos, but has now given up its scheme in favour of its founder Mr. FORNIVALL, who has undertaken to superintend the issue of a series of photo-lithographic Facsimiles of all the most important Shakspere Quartos to be executed by Mr. W. GRIGGS, of Elm House, Hanover Street, Peckham, whose long experience as working photo-lithographer to the India Office, enables him to guarantee the entire faithfulness of his reproductions. The Duke of Devonshire, Mr. Alfred H. Huth, the Trustees of the British Museum, the Master and Senior Fellows of Trinity College, Cambridge, and the Curators of the Bodleian Library, Oxford, have most kindly allowed their book-treasures to be photographed. Already twenty-five Plays have been photographed, and others are in hand. The first ten Quartos, now ready, are the two Hamlets. 1603 and 1604, with Introductions by Mr. Furnivall. The two Midsummer Night's Dreams, 1600 (Fisher and Roberts), with Introduc- tions by the Rev. J. W. Ebsworth. Love's Labors Lost, 1598 (Bnrby), and Merchant of Venice, 1600 (Roberts), with Forewords by Mr. Furnivall. The first and second Parts of Henry IV, by Mr. Herbert A. Evans. The Merry Wives, by Mr. P.

PROSE AND MISCELLANEOUS LITERATURE AND BOOKS OMITTED IN CLASS II. 1. Manuscripts. 22348 ROBERT OF GLOUCESTER'S CHRONICLE of ENGLAND, from the earliest traditional record to the year 1264, small folio, fine English MS. on vellum, written in double columns, with numerous illuminated initials, and a border to the first page, in an old half- russia binding, 25. About A.D. 1440 This is not the Chronicle which goes under the name of " the Brute," or "Caxton's," or the "St. Albans', 1 ' but a much rarer volume, and quite complete. The anonymous compiler may have intended to pass off the work as original, but it is really Robert of Gloucester slightly modified into prose: In fact there is little alteration beyond the suppression of the rhyme words, and a certain modernization in form. It should be known that, although Robert of Gloucester traversed the same ground as " the Brute," and followed Geoffrey of Monmouth, there is still a considerable difference in details between the two Chronicles, and facts are frequently stated in opposite ways. To the story of King Arthur, nearly 60 columns, with thirty-four lines a column, are devoted. The Metrical Chronicle of Robert, as published by Hearne, extends to the year 1266 (when Prince Edward took the cross to start for the Holy Land). This MS. ends with the victory of the Barons at Lewes in 1:264, and the last words are: " And Sir Edward ran to the ffroiers menores," which correspond to the line in Hearne's edition " And to the frere minors in to toun Sir Edward fleu vaste." Robert of Gloucester flourished towards the end of the thirteenth century. MSS. of his Chronicle are very rare. 22349 Towneley MSS. LETTERS OF ADVISE, Aunsweares, Comendatory, Consolatorye, Expository, Gratulatory, ISTarratory and Suppli- catory. Also Queen Elizabeth's Speech in Parliament, 15 March, 1576 ; Speech of the Lord Keeper to the Queene, 1563, at Grenewich ; Petition of the Lower House, 2 March, 1575, and Answeare (respecting Church Discipline), etc. oblong roy. folio, MANUSCRIPT ON VELLUM, hf. bd. 15. About 1600 Transcripts into a single Tolume of a great number of important Letters, ranging over more than thirty years, say between Henry VIII's death and the year 1578. It is difficult to understand how the originals had all come into the hands of the scribe or his employer, but the work was done probably for a personage of exalted position. One of the letters dated 1572, and unsigned, vigorously urges upon " my lord " the duty of bringing the Queen to command the execution of Mary Queen of Scots. There is not a single piece in the whole volume which does not possess high historical and literary interest. There are Letters of Q. Elizabeth, Roger Ascham, The Lord Keeper, Sir Toby Mathews, the Duke of Norfolk, Sir Thomas Wyatt, T. Norton, Lord Bacon, T. Heneage, Sir N. Throckmorton, Sir Fr. Englefield, Archbp. Grindall, Deering, T. Cartwright, etc. The " begetter " of these transcripts may have been connected with the Duke of Norfolk, who was executed in 1572, as the latter is familiarly mentioned simply as " the Duke " in some of the headings. 150 2188 BERNARD QUARITCH'S GENERAL CATALOGUE. 22350 BALLADS AND SONGS of the Elizabethan and Jacobean period, with portions of the Passionate Pilgrim, poems by Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Raleigh, the Earl of Essex, etc. contained in the common place-book of Bishop Hall, the epigrammatist, whose signature " Joseph Hall " appears on one of the fly-leaves, stout 16mo. Manuscript on paper, beautifully and clearly written in a very minute hand, at intervals between 1620 and 1642, in the contemporary gilt smooth-morocco binding, with clasps, 84. 1620-42 A priceless treasury of old English poetry ; much of which might have been copied from loose broadsides which have now perished. As far as Shakspeare and Ben Jonson are concerned, this little volume is the sole source of an emendation and an addition which have now been accepted. The great mass of the contents is poetical and literary, although the intention of the writer or writers was to make a common-place book of miscellaneous character. It waa thought by Mr. Collier that some of the writing dated from 1 600 and was in a different hand from that which wrote the ballads about 1640 ; but it is really not certain that the differences of handwriting are referable to anything more than negligence and the natural change of time. There are 83 Ballads, most of which are nowhere else found than here, except in so far as Collier printed some forty of them in his volumes of " Registers of the Stationers Company," some for the Shakspeare Society. 22351 POEMS AND EPIGRAMS, by Sir Philip Sydney, Eat Marlowe, Earl of Essex, Sir Walter Raleigh, and others, contained in a common- place book, kept by some person or persons who lived during the reigns of Elizabeth, James I and Charles I, apparently by the same hand that compiled Bishop Hall's common-place book described above, sm. 4to. Manuscript on paper, in the original parchment cover, 20. About 1620-40 A few of the things in this volume are also found in the little calf-bound Manuscript, but each seems to be generally complementary to the other. In the little one, we find on one page, a note vide my other boolce, which appears to refer to this one. 22352 BALLADS AND SONGS (58 Old English) of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries, transcribed by JOHN PAYNE COLLIER, in separate leaves or sheets, sm. 4to. 2. 10s About 1860 Transcripts from the little MS. volume, written about 1620-42, which is described above. 22353 RALEIGH (Sir Walter).

In the marginal observations written on the books of his library, he indulged his natural bent and exhibited freely the great variety and richness of his intellectual furniture.

II. Great Seal, in tin box, attached Whilst illuminated MSS. attract many buyers, and hold a high value in the open market, collections of Historical Documents are interesting only to public institutions and to special scholars. Hence it is that I am able to offer at the low- price of 250, the celebrated " Hardwicke Papers," which were considered to be worth 10,000, while still in the pos- session of the Hardwicke family. The injudicious division into lots rendered it impossible for the owners to fix a general reserve price, and the consequence, however disastrous to them, has been advantageous to the public. The Whitworth papers, the Correspondence of Lord Stair and Secretary Craggs, and Sir Luke Schaub's Letters, which are all originals, and the Bowes (Q. Elizabeth) and Salisbury (James I Letters, which are contemporary copies, are of exceedingly great value to the historical student, and really by themselves worth much more than the price fixed upon the whole collection. 2192 BERNARD QUARITCH'S GENERAL CATALOGUE. 2.
