''Wft' ■* liVVI •.•'A*,' mmm v WUftf' / ' ‘ r ■■.■••* Catalogue of Presentation Copies and Association Books i Walter M. Hill 22 E. Washington Street Chicago Telephone, Central 2080 PREFACE % “My secret is out. I collect, as I can, human-interest books — books with a provenance, as they are called, but as I object to foreign words, I once asked a Bryn Mawr professor, Dr. Holbrook, to give me an English equivalent. ‘I should have to make one,’ he said. ‘You know the word whereabouts, I suppose.’ I admitted that I did. ‘How would whence- abouts do?’ I thought it good. “In recent years, presentation, or association books have become the rage, and the reason is plain. Every one is unique, though some are un'iquer than others. My advice to any one who may be tempted by some volume with an inscrip¬ tion of an author on its fly-leaf or title-page is, ‘ Yield with coy submission’— and at once. While such books make fright¬ ful inroads on one’s bank account, I have regretted only my economies, never my extravagances. — A. Edward Newton, The Amenities of Book-Collecting, 1918, pages 17-18. To one of the association books advertised in the present catalogue belongs a rather good little story. A bookseller w r as debating w T ith a friend whether or not to put into a forthcom¬ ing catalogue a certain little book, valued at $500. An ordi¬ nary copy of this book is worth about $20, The increase of $480 was due to a two-line inscription by the author. The bookseller looked lovingly at the book, read the inscription aloud, pronounced it unique, fine, exquisite, most admirable — all of which is true. Finally he said, with a laugh: “Oh, let it go into the catalogue — I bet you nobody will buy it! ” The sentiment expressed in this true story is worthy of any man, whether collector or bookseller — or both. Some books almost are too good to be sold. The advertisement of fond associations, the placing of money values on evidences of per¬ sonal respect, is not merely a matter of calm business, but one of conscience as well. Ideally and morally, nobody has a right to trade in the copies of books given by Dickens to his friends. Here also 831 Marshall Field Bldg, Chicago o o are books inscribed bv Riley, Field, Wm. Morris, and many others. Who deserves to inherit such keepsakes — except those who step into the place of personal and contemporary friends, after the author as well as his intimate circle are gone? The defense of a trade in books of “provenance” and per¬ sonal association is not the making of money, nor even the presence of a demand; it is the creation of a historical con¬ tinuity of memories and of personal relations too precious to be lost. With this understanding, the prices, whether high or low, are quite incidental. The bookseller cannot change the rise or fall of values. Such books as recorded in this catalogue most¬ ly are scarce enough to render their transit through a busi¬ ness house a matter of prestige and honor more than one of business. We hope this reason as well as the intrinsic value of the books, will justify our satisfaction in being able to com¬ pile a catalogue as comprehensive as this, of a class of books relatively small, each book without its'like anywhere.

Tullii Cicernois Epistolae ad Atti- cum . . . Pauli Manutii in easdem epistolas Scholia. Lutetias (i.e., Paris), Bob. Stephanas, 1547. 2 vols. in 1, thick 16mo. $500.00 From the collection originally formed by the famous French his¬ torian, book collector and friend of Grolier. The name Jacques- Auguste de Thou written in capitals, appears on each of the title pages and also on the last leaf of the second volume. De Thou’s collection, generally known as the “ Bibliotheca Thuana” is famous in the annals of book collecting, both for its great intrinsic merit as well as for its romantic history. It was long a saying among the French that no one had seen Paris who had not looked upon the books of Thouanus. Besides holding a leading place in literature as a his¬ torian, De Thou w T as widely famed for his general scholarship and 12 Walter M. Hill his intelligent support of all who labored about books. In selecting his own copies he was most fastidious. When he heard that a valu- able work was about to be published, he would order three or four copies struck off for himself on a specially fine paper manufactured for his private use. If such a work had already been published, he would order several sets of sheets to be taken to pieces in order to procure one perfect example. His collection numbered about 8000 printed books and 1000 manuscripts, all well selected, well bound, and in perfect condition. At his death it passed to his sons. The young¬ est was almost as enthusiastic a bibliophile as his father, and, more¬ over, he had the good fortune to marry an heiress, Marie Picardet, daughter of Hughes Picardet, an eminent magistrate and book col¬ lector of Brittany. The name 11 Picardet ’ ’ is written on the title page of the present volume. He Thou, Grolier, Maioli and Picardet were all friends and fellow booklovers and frequently exchanged or presented books to each other. In 1677 the “Bibliotheca Thuana“ passed to the Abbe J. A. de Thou who, however, was soon obliged to dispose of it to the President Charron de Menars. It next passed into the possession of the Car¬ dinal de Rohan, who bequeathed it to his nephew, the Prince de Sou- bise, famous as the inventor of a delectable sauce and for the almost insane frenzy with which he amassed huge quantities of books. The vast collection of the Prince de Soubise fell under the hammer of the auctioneer in 1789 and with it went the books gathered two centuries before by De Thou. This little volume must soon after have found its way into England, for on its fly-leaf appears the inscription, “ T: Hayley, the gift of his dear Father, Jan: 29th, 1793.” This “T: Hayley” was Thomas Hayley, natural son of William Hayley, the poet and biographer of William Cowper. The binding, which has had some slight restoration, required after an existence of nearly four centuries, is of brown morocco in the Maioli style. The sides are adorned with interlacing panels and straps of red, white, and dark blue; the back has a leafy ornamenta¬ tion in dark green, the pattern being outlined in gold; all edges are fully gilded. 38.

Jim would sail out in his boat on the sea — Jess as the rest ov us fisherman did — An’ when he come hack at night, thar’d he, lip to his knees in the surf, each kid A heck’ning and cheerin’ to fisherman Jim — He’d hear ’em, you het! above the roar Of the waves on the shore. But one night Jim came a sailin’ home An’ the little kids nasn’t on the sands — Jim kinder wondered they hadn’t come An’o a tremblin’ took holt o’ his knees an’ hands, An’ he learnt the worst up on the hill, In the little house — an’ he bowed his head — “Fever,” they said. ’Twas an awful time for fisherman Jim With them darlins a dyin’ afore his eyes — They kep’ a call’n an’ beck’win’ him, For they kinder wa?idered in mind—their cries Were about the waves an’ fisherman Jim An’ the little boat a sailin’ for shore — Till they spoke no more. Well, fisherman Jim lived on and on And his hair grew ivhite and the wrinkles came — He never smiled, an’ his heart seemed gone An’ he never was heard to speak the name Of them little kids as was buried there Up on the hill, in sight o’ the sea, Under a wilier tree. One night they came an’ told me to haste To the house on the hill, for Jim was sick, An’ they said I hadn’t no time to waste, For his tide was ebbin’ powerful quick A7id he seemed to be wand’rin’ an’ crazy like An’ seein’ sights he oughtn’t see — An’ had called for me. 831 Marshall Field Building, Chicago 21 Fisherman Jim sez he to me: “It’s my last, last cruise—you understand — I’m a sailin’ a dark an’ drefful sea, But off on the further shore, on the sand Are the kids who’s a beck’nin’ an’ callin’ my name Jess as they did — ah, mate, you know — In the long ago!” No, sir! he vjasn’t afeared to die, For all night long lie seemed to see His little hoys of the years gone hy And to hear sweet voices forgot hy me; An’ jess as the mornin’ sun come up — “They’re a boldin’ me hy the hands!” he cried — An’ so he died.

They have annotated the broad margins with most copious vari¬ orum readings, extending to many hundreds of lines which Pope altered or struck out before the book was finally printed. We would especially notice: The Preface. —The MS. alterations here are so copious that they amount to almost as much as the printed matter. Pastorals. —‘‘Mem. First copy of the Pastorals.

The alterations in this copy were upon ye objections of some of these or my own. These alterations are most extensive and important, no less than 116 wdiole lines are entirely altered, besides a great number of corrections in the text.

Throughout the book also there are many other corrections and alterations in MS. On the half-title is pasted one of Alex. Pope’s original signed auto¬ graph receipts for subscription to his translation of Homer’s Iliad. Jonathan Richardson, the elder (born 1665, died 1745), was a cele¬ brated portrait painter and author, several of his pictures are in the 36 Walter M. Hill National Gallery. He was on intimate terms of acquaintance with Pope (whose portrait he painted, etched, and drew several times), Prior, Gay, and other conspicuous members of the literary world. m- R Eceiv’d of tyf Two Guineas, being the firft Payment to the Subfcription, fo- the Tranllation of I Homer’s Iliads ; to be delivered, in Quires, to the Bearer hereof, in the manner fpeci- fy’d in the Propofals.

White, 1872. $35.00 Ford Madox Brown’s copy with his autograph signature ' * F. Madox Brown” on cover. Also has several notes in pencil on mar¬ gins. The manner in which copies of “Under the Microscope” have been absorbed is remarkable. Five hundred copies were printed in 1872, and until recent years examples were readily obtainable at a few dollars each. Now copies occur at increasingly lengthened intervals, and find a prompt and ready sale at $30 to $40. Mr. Austin and Mrs. Stowe might well congratulate themselves, even while they smarted sorely, that the full vigour of the poet’s lash was reserved for Robert Buchanan. 173. SYMONDS (John Addington).

Presentation copy to Jane Yonge, with fine autograph inscription on the fly-leaf as follows: “Jane Yonge from her unworthy friend the Author. No imputation is here cast on the judgment of the said Jane Yonge in the choice of a friend; nor is there any lurking allu¬ sion to the wellknown adage ‘Great minds will descend’ Condescen¬ sion is not descension. - ‘The blue heaven bends over all.’ “S.

Ex. off Elzevir, 1664. $75.00 Inside the cover is written in the autograph of the poet: “After Xt. 54.“ (This probably was a mere note of date occurring in his reading, which he particularly wished to remember.) Beneath it, but evidently quite unconnected with it, is the auto¬ graph—‘ 1 A. Tennyson. ’ ’ Also in his autograph, but written in pencil is— “E. lib ris G. C. Tennyson de Somersby In Agro Lincolnicnsi.” —The Rev. G. G’. Ten¬ nyson was the father of the poet, and Rector of Somersby, where the author of 1 ‘ In Memoriam ’ ’ first saw the light. This volume I should imagine was withdrawn from the paternal library by Tennyson, while at Cambridge, as the handwriting is too determined and characteristic to have been produced by a very youth¬ ful penman. 185.

Bushrod Washington was a nephew of George W. and heir to his books and papers. He held the position of a judge in Philadelphia, but lived for some time in Virginia and is the author of Reports in the Court of Appeals of Virginia, 2 vols., 1798-99. Apart from its association with these various members of Wash¬ ington’s family, the volume is a very desirable book, which possesses great interest not only as a source of legal history but also for the history of American customs and forms of language and life.

London, 1670. $450.00 This volume has a history of much interest. Sir John Vaughn was appointed Chief Justice, Common Pleas, 1668, and died 1674; the book fell, many years after, into the possession of Edmund Malone, the great Shakesperian commentator and Editor, wdiose autograph and signature are upon one of the binder’s end leaves, and his in¬ itials upon the general title-page. Further: On the binder’s end- leaf referred to, and beneath Malone’s signature are 30 lines in his autograph, commencing: “This booh was a presentation copy given to Lord Chief Justice Vaughn, and is corrected throughout by tho 831 Marshall Field Building, Chicago 45 author, whose name and handwriting is on the leaf opposite the title- page . ” These 30 lines finish on the reverse page and have the in¬ itials ( ‘ E. if. ” beneath. A later possessor of the volume was Robert Clutterbuck, the Hertfordshire historian, who has inscribed it, over his own signature, to the effect that he purchased it at the sale of Mr. Malone’s books; and that in 1825 he presented it to the Rev. S. Til- brook of Peter’s College Cambridge, ‘ ‘ a brother angler. ’ ’ Mr. Til- brook’s widow afterwards presented it to Mr. Clutterbuck’s niece. On the top of portrait facing the title is the inscription in Walton’s autograph, “j for my Honourd Lady ye Lady Margaret Countess of Salisbury. Iz. Wa.” 192. WARD (Mrs. Humphrey).
