Introduction. 
 
 HE closing decade of the eighteenth century witnessed the 
 advent of a new era in the history of wood-engraving 
 This revival was the work of an Englishman, and dated 
 from the publication of Thomas Bewick's "History of 
 Quadrupeds" in 1790, and the appearance of the first 
 volume of his " British Birds " in 1797. 
 
 This distinguished artist was born at Cherryburn 
 CO. Northumberland, in August, 1753. With the exception of one year's 
 residence in London at the close of his apprenticeship, his laborious and useful 
 life was wholly passed at Newcastle-upon-Tyne. He died at Gateshead, 8th of 
 November, 1828, aged 75. 
 
 No little amount of local fame had attended the earlier efforts of his 
 graver, particularly an edition of "Gay's Fables," adorned with woodcuts, 
 brought out in 1779, and a volume of " Select Fables,'' embellished in a 
 similar manner, in 1784, both done for Thomas Saint, an enterprising New- 
 castle publisher. The cuts which adorn those little works, after the lapse 
 of a century, have lost nothing of their interest, though at first only intended 
 to illustrate school books. It is a matter of regret that Charlton Nesbit should 
 have been allowed to remove many of the beautiful ornamented borders, and 
 otherwise improve them in 1820. 
 
 Bewick in his " Memoir " freely admits that he was not a " bookish man," 
 and this was one reason why the descriptions of the animals in the Quad-, 
 rupeds, as well as in the first volume of the Birds, fell naturally to the lot 
 of his partner, Mr. Beilby. This division of labour, together with the fact that 
 not all the cuts, even in the two books of Fables just mentioned, were 
 exclusively the work of Bewick and his younger brother, gave rise at first to 
 a privately expressed opinion that he enjoyed more honour than was justly his 
 due. It has been said that he had a more intimate knowledge of what had 
 been previously effected by continental wood-en^avers than his most intimate 
 friends suspected, and as a proof of it, that he had copied, what ? why, two 
 
 I 
 
or three unmeaning trifles, the work of one Ungher, an obscure German artist. 
 In a letter of Bewick's recently discovered, addressed to the Society for the 
 Promotion of the Fine Arts (dated May, 1788), enclosing specimens of woodcuts 
 done for his proposed " History of Quadrupeds," for which he was anxious to 
 secure " the Approbation and Patronage " of that Body, " as it might silence 
 the clamour of ill-natured criticism," shows how early detraction was at work. 
 
 It remained, however, for Mr. Andrew Chatto * to lead the grand assault, 
 which was done with extraordinary boldness ; but not, be it remembered, until 
 eleven years after the death of Mr. Bewick, at the ripe age of 75. He furnishes 
 a list, embracing nearly fifty of the best tail-pieces in the two volumes of 
 Birds, which are stated to have been either drawn or engraved by Robert 
 Johnson, Luke Clennell, or Charlton Nesbit, and he further says that this list 
 might be considerably increased. The duty of vindicating Mr. Bewick's repu- 
 tation in this attempt to deprive him of the exclusive right to be considered, 
 not only the original designer, but also the engraver of those inimitable gems 
 of art, would naturally devolve on his only son, Mr. Robert Elliot Bewick. 
 
 His gentle and quiet disposition was averse to wrangling. He was 
 constitutionally unfit to engage in literary controversy with such an able 
 and skilful antagonist as Mr. Chatto. To maintain the superiority of Bewick 
 over the most distinguished of his pupils as a truly original painter in 
 water colours and engraver on wood, fertile in imaginative and inventive 
 faculties of the highest order, is needless. He had also the power to transfer 
 his mental conceptions, in all their freshness and reality, not only to paper, as 
 a draughtsman, but on the less yielding wood. In this he has never been 
 surpassed. It is only just to observe that it has been left to the Fine Arts 
 Society in New Bond Street first to point out Bewick's transcendent merits as 
 a colourist. To justify what has been said is not difficult, neither is it necessary 
 to underrate the abilities of such of his pupils as have been put forward against 
 him, with the object of giving them a name at their old master's , expense, 
 thereby lessening his genius and talents in the estimation of posterity for all 
 time. What Sir Joshua Reynolds says of Gainsborough holds equally good of 
 Bewick, "We certainly know that his passion was not the acquirement of 
 riches, but excellence in his art, and to enjoy that honourable fame which is sure 
 to attend it." Mr. Bewick valued money mainly as a means of acquiring 
 independence, and although thrift was habitual to him from youth, his 
 reputation as an artist rose above every other consideration. Where or when, 
 it may be asked, did Robert Johnson, Charlton Nesbit, or Luke Clennell ever 
 prefer any such claim on their own behalf .' Simply nowhere. After leaving

the roof of their master what did any one of them produce, in Mr. Bewick's 
 well-known style, to compare with what all acknowledged to be the work of his 
 hands, or with those master-pieces of art which, if Mr. Chatto speaks truth, they 
 so abundantly brought forth whilst in his service ? Not one solitary cut. The 
 conclusion is irresistible that Chatto's List cannot be depended on, and, how- 
 ever obtained, is void of all cfedibility. When thrown on their own resources, 
 in the prime of early manhood, not one of the pupils essayed to pursue to 
 their own advantage those successes which, in the opinion of some, had so 
 largely contributed to build up the fortunes of their master. 
 
 Robert Johnson, " a youth to fortune and to fame unknown," died early. 
 The memory of his amiability, talents, and early loss is still remembered with 
 affection and tenderness by all who possess any knowledge of his short career. 
 In the law-suit promoted by Johnson's friends against Messrs. Beilby & 
 Bewick, in 1796, to recover the sum of ;^30 (not ;£'40, as stated by Jackson), 
 being the amount paid by Lord Bute to them for drawings executed by 
 Johnson, and which they considered themselves entitled to retain, no such 
 charge was ever preferred. Mr. Ralph Heron, Johnson's solicitor, who had 
 particular reasons to be angry with Bewick, the story of which I may one day 
 tell, never breathed such an accusation ; though, if well-founded, it was most 
 relevant to his argument, and would not have been omitted. In " Pinkerton's 
 Remains," vol. L, p. 424, it is stated that "Mn Bewick, observing Johnson's 
 uncommon genius for drawing, employed him to trace the figures on the wood 
 in his elegant ' History of Quadrupeds.' " Had this been true it amounted to 
 but very little, nevertheless it led Mr. Bewick in the Monthly Magazine for 
 November, iSoJ, positively to deny the fact. Luke Clennell, the most brilliant 
 in that galaxy of genius which Bewick attracted to himself in a manner so 
 wonderful, once freed from the influence of his master, failed altogether in 
 preserving that spirit and style (in his own after-performances) amidst which 
 he had lived and breathed so long. When this subject turned up in conver- 
 sation with my dear old friend. Miss Jane Bewick, she was wont to say that 
 "the apprentices left following the track of their -master for a higher sphere 
 of art." In a work on which I havp been engaged for some years, it will be 
 my endeavour to exhibit in one volume, not by means of copies or repro- 
 ductions, but by the veritable works of the artists themselves, all the talents 
 of the Bewick school. This will enable his admirers to judge for themselves 
 as to the merits and capabilities of master and pupils. 
 
 Our accomplished and versatile townsman, the late Mr. Thomas Doubleday, 
 in an eloquent article in the British Quarterly Review for November, 1845, thus 
 explains the nature of the difference between Bewick's work and that of the 
 most gifted of his pupils :— 
 
 " In addition to the figures of the birds, which aire beautifully executed, the 
 
 3 
 
artist had adorned the work with a profusion of those exquisite tail-pieces, 
 which, whether we contemplate their admirable design, their nature, their truth 
 or the humour and keen satire, or powerful morality, which are so often super- 
 added and transfused, certainly divide our admiration with the principal objects 
 of the work." " Of the marvellous correctness of Bewick's eye, and of the 
 wonderful precision with which he seized and transferred the form and linea- 
 ments of whatever in nature, animate, or inanimate, he chose to depict, it is 
 almost superfluous to speak. In that extraordinary power resides the great 
 charm of all he has done. The sheer truth of Bewick's drawing was, perhaps, 
 hardly ever matched, certainly never exceeded." 
 
 " The scholars of the scholars of Bewick can cut lines on wood as finely as 
 their master. The difference between these engravings and those of Bewick 
 resides, not in the nature of the lines cut, but in the nature of the souls of those 
 that cut them. It is not because their hands are dissimilar that their works 
 are dissimilar, but because their minds are dissimilar." 
 
 It has been asserted in private influential circles, that in representing 
 foliage Bewick was considerably indebted to William Woollett. This dis- 
 tinguished landscape engraver might be said with equal truth to owe his well- 
 deserved fame to the great painters in oil, whose works he so closely followed. 
 The genius of both consisted in their ability to imitate nature with rare fidelity, 
 the charms of colour being called in to aid the efforts of the painter, whilst the 
 engraver must depend solely on his power to produce effect by the simple 
 means of black and white. 
 
 A reference to this Catalogue will prove how few of Woollett's prints 
 Bewick possessed, the time when they were bought, and the reason of their 
 purchase. This was no other than to garnish his little parlour at the Forth, on 
 the occasion of his marriage in 1786. Impressions of Woollett's best engravings 
 from which after careful study he could have profited most, such as Niobe, the 
 Fishery, Roman Edifices in Ruins, Solitude, or even a Set of the Four Shooting 
 pieces after Stubbs, he never owned. The beautiful print of the Spanish pointer, 
 from a picture by the last named artist, was copied by Bewick in the first edition 
 of his "History of Quadrupeds" (1790), and has been continued through the 
 subsequent impressions of the work. So far he was under an obligation to 
 Woollett's admirable engraving. Of books adorned with woodcuts published 
 during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries he owned but few. They were 
 such as had been collected through many years at bookstalls and auctions, when 
 opportunity offered, or were presented by friends. 
 
 A List of Works is subjoined, which the Misses Bewick sold some years 
 ago to Mr. Kerslake, of Bristol. Nearly all were imperfect and in wretched 
 condition, yet these have been spoken of as forming his " Office Library '' and 
 the works of his " Masters."

It was well, as a matter of curiosity, to acquaint himself with what Michael 
 Wohlgemuth, Durer, or Hans Burghmaier had accomplished in the past ; but 
 they could afford no help or assistance to one whose excellence lay in the 
 faithful rendering of landscape and foliage, rustic scenes — the lone resort of the 
 angler, or the portraiture of birds and animals, wild or domestic, the truthful 
 representation of which those artists never attempted on wood. 
 
 Bewick's acquaintance with Durer was limited, with two or three exceptions, 
 to the woodcuts of the great Nuremberg artist (for which he probably only 
 supplied the designs), and their sublime symbolism would be lost on a tem- 
 perament so different. The great northern wood-engraver depended wholly 
 on himself and nature, and needed not, so far as his profession went, the works 
 of others for acquiring lessons on the theory or practice of art. 
 
 The importance of this remark, considered in relation to Bewick's claims 
 to originality, is of moment, and will be completely borne out by reference to 
 the Catalogue, to which these few observations are prefatory. In the future 
 it will be often appealed to with the object of ascertaining what the Library 
 and Collection of Engravings owned by such an artist really were. 
 
 Of that large and delightful series of mezzotints after Gainsborough and 
 George Morland, so thoroughly English, and depicting the every-day life of our 
 rustics and villagers, there is an entire absence. 
 
 Books and pictures afford a criterion by which one may judge of the tastes 
 and mind of their possessor. When a young man, in common with all who are 
 accustomed to think for themselves, the study of the doctrinal differences which 
 separate Christian societies from the National Church forced itself on his 
 attention. 
 
 He became perplexed, and not without reason. Accordingly theology 
 finds no place in his little library, apart from the Bible and Book of Common 
 Prayer, which contain all necessary truth. As a moderate Liberal, political 
 science absorbed much of his spare time at a period when party spirit ran high. 
 Of the political speculations of his old friend and opponent, Thomas Spence, 
 expressed in the form of pamphlets and fly-sheets, now very rare, I found a 
 curious collection on a shelf in what was called the " book-room," in his house 
 at West Street, Gateshead, where the stock of his own works, in cloth and 
 quires, was kept. 
 
 The most interesting will be found named in the Catalogue. 
 
 In the Introduction to his "Fables of ^Esop," 1818-23, he mentions 
 with others, " Croxall's ^Esop," first published in 1722, with cuts on metal, in 
 the manner of wood ; and afterwards observes that with regard to his own work, 
 he had " quoted and compiled from other- fabulists whatever seemed best suited 
 to his purpose." Again, on recovering from a severe illness in 18 12 ("Memoir," 
 p 172) he observes, " I could not help regretting that I had not published a 
 
 5 * 
 
book similar to ' Croxall's ^sop's Fables,' as I had always intended to do. I 
 was extremely fond of that book, and, as it had afforded me much pleasure, I 
 thought with better executed designs, it would impart the same kind of delight 
 to others that I had experienced from attentively reading it." He then speaks 
 of the troubles he met with in proceeding with his task. As might have been 
 expected, the execution of the fine work of the cuts during day-light, and 
 compiling the book by candle-light, in his evenings at home, very much injured 
 his sight for a time. 
 
 Mr. Bewick provided the drawings, but was largely assisted by his son, and 
 more particularly by his pupils, William Harvey and William Temple, in the 
 work of engraving the cuts. In not a few instances the designs can hardly be 
 said to equal the corresponding cuts in the " Select Fables," of 1784. Bewick 
 followed Croxall's " Translation," the editions he used were those of 176.0 
 (Tonson's), and the fourteenth edition, published in 1788. Let his admirers 
 provide themselves with a copy of either, at the cost of a few shillings, and 
 compare the cuts, and the Fables, and their Applications, with Bewick's version, 
 and they will learn at once how little he was indebted to his reverend pre- 
 decessor. The obligation he was under to Croxall was always freely admitted. 
 The more this subject is considered and sifted, the greater will Bewick's 
 independence of others appear. 
 
 Several of the illustrations in this Catalogue may, without risk, be ascribed 
 to Mr. R. E. Bewick. The tail-pieces were probably executed at the same time 
 as the new cuts introduced in the last edition of the " British Birds," The 
 cut of the Angler is worthy of notice. The scene is bleak and cheerless. 
 Intent on his pursuit he heeds not the drifting rain, nor the gathering of the 
 waters around him. From under his fisher's cap locks of black hair hang on 
 his forehead, and impart a peculiar wildness of look in keeping with the aspect 
 of nature. The attitude of the man is perfect. Can this be intended for 
 Bewick's "cheerful associate," Jack Roe, "with his flies and his tackle" 
 (Memoir, p. 109) .' I am inclined to think so. 
 
 A priced Catalogue with purchasers' names is valuable in tracing particular 
 lots. It affords a clue which in after years may assist the literary student to 
 pursue inquiries with some chance of success, which without its help might be 
 in vain. Booksellers delight in reading Sale Catalogues of events, whether in 
 the distant past or the immediate future. Age adds to but never impairs 
 the relish. To dealers, and more especially public libraries, sooner or later, 
 they seldom fail to be of service. The pleasure their perusal yields is not 
 confined to any one class ; for to the curious, they ever prove full of interest. 
 Undoubtedly there is many a Gallio. Priced Catalogues also supply means of 
 judging of that variable quality, entitled public opinion, which, in matters of 
 taste and fashion, altereth much. They prove a sure index, and are as much 
 
 6 
 
the true materials of history in their own province, as the tracts and pamphlets 
 put out during the civil wars were to Lord Macaulay.

 A Supplementary Sale of the residue of the late Miss Bewick's collection 
 took place at Newcastle on the 26th of August, 1 884, by order of the executors. 
 The Catalogue comprised but 72 lots. Nos. i to 29 consisted of "engraved 
 wood-blocks by various artists " ; in other words, the crude efforts of pupils, 
 and of no art value whatever. They would have been accounted a prize a 
 century back by the publisher of the famed "Three Hundred Animals," of 
 which Bewick thought so poorly whilst yet a boy. Each lot contained ten 
 woodcuts, being mostly figures of quadrupeds. One half of the entire number 
 were sold at prices varying from eight to thirteen shillings. The remainder 
 averaged ;^i is. 6d. per lot, being at the rate of two shillings and twopence for 
 
 8 
 
each cut. If published hereafter, it is to' be hoped that they will not, to the 
 injury of his reputation, be fathered upon Bewick. The unsuspecting have of 
 late years been much imposed upon in this way. 
 
 Lot 30 formed the last of the woodcuts. With it the real interest of the 
 Sale began, from this point therefore the order of the Catalogue is strictly 
 adhered to.

 believing himself to be on a level with Lord Tennyson, to whom 
 it will be observed his "poems " are affectionately dedicated.

 THE amusement to be derived from reading these ancient 
 travels, and guessing at the curiously misspelt names is 
 almost endless. After the title was chosen and printed it was 
 found that a nearly contemporary diary, that of Guylforde, had 
 already been circulated by a literary society ; but, as Torkington 
 went over nearly the same ground only a few years later, and as his 
 narrative is much more personal, and more amusing and quaintly 
 told it has not been thought necessary to make any alteration.

 Translated from the French by Goddard H. Orpen. Including 
 " Socialism in England," by the Translator. LONDON : Field * Tuer, 
 The Leadenhall Press, E.C. [Six Shillings. 
 
 SOCIALISM V. Individualism is rapidly becoming the most 
 pressing, as it is the most momentous, question of the day. 
 An English version of M. de Laveleye's account and criticism of 
 European Socialism is therefore a welcome contribution to the 
 subject. It embraces a lucid statement of the views of Marx and 
 Lassalle, the founders of German socialism, and a graphic des- 
 cription of the wild theories of Bakunin, the apostle of Nihi- 
 lism. Mr. Orpen has largely added to the importance of the 
 work by giving the first comprehensive account ever published 
 of socialism in England. He accurately describes and carefully 
 criticises the three socialistic'movements conducted by the Land 
 Nationalisers, the Christian Socialists, and the thorough-going 
 Social Democratic Federation, respectively. The book appears 
 opportunely at a time when all Europe is astounded at the 
 electoral victories of the Social Democrats in Germany.

 convenience, be reduced in .bulk and restored to the conditions

 correspondents to this little brochure. " Fined down ? — why, he's 
 now as thin and strong as one of those spider bicycles you see 
 about, and he goes as well, too ! "

 valuable information on the eyesight, and he points out the 
 injurious effects of premature and excessive literary work, and 
 suggests such modifications of paper and print as will enable the 
 greatest amount of work to be done with the least possible 
 fatigue to the eyes. The introduction by R. Brudenell Carter

 AN attempt at a dispassionate and rational appreciation of 
 the distinguished actor's merits and defects. Shunning 
 "Irving-mania" and " Irving-phobia " alike, the author seeks

 while at the same time combatting the prejudice of bigoted un- 
 believers. Neither a lampoon nor a panegyric, but in short a 
 " critical study."

 LORD BEACONSFIELD ON THE CONSTITUTION . 
 
 " What is he? " and " A Vindication of the

 [The Earl of Beaconsfield, K.G.] Edited with an anecdotical preface by 
 Francis Hitchman, author of ** The Public Life of the Earl of Bea- 
 consfield," S-c. LONDON : Field & Tuer, The Leadenhall Press, 
 E.C. [Two-and-Sixpence. 
 
 THE only vindicator of the " lost leader " of the Tories that is 
 necessary. A reprint of the famous and long lost pamphlet 
 " What is he ? " of which it is believed that only one copy is in 
 existence, and of the almost equally scarce " Vindication of the 
 Constitution," which Disraeli the Younger addressed to Lord 
 Lyndhurst in 1835. The former establishes the identity of 
 Disraeli's politics in youth and in age, and the latter vindicates 
 the consistency of the two great men with whose names it is 
 associated against the calumnies of Lord Campbell. Mr. Hitch- 
 man's preface contains a great number of highly interesting and 
 hitherto unpublished facts concerning the Disraeli familj'.

 but the six additional at the end, including the humorously 
 treated frontispiece of " Cows Angling " — all charming specimens
