Warton observed of this poem:— " That it is difficult to express our admiration of the variety, the richness, the melody of its numbers, the force, beauty, and distinctness of its images, the succession of so many different passions and feelings, and the matchless perspicuity of its diction.'" " The Ode to St. Cecilia's Day, perhaps the last effort of his poetry, has heen always considered as exhibiting the highest flight of fancy, and the exactest nicety ol art. This is allowed to stand without a rival. If. indeed, there is any excellence beyond it in some other of Dryden's Works, that excellence must be found " — Dr. Johnson. 124 [DRYDEN (John)] Scandalum Magnatum : or, Potapski's case, a Satyr against Polish Oppression. 1682.

S. Serringman, 1667. First Edition, small 8vo, original sheep, £2 2s Sir Walter Scott says that Dryden seldom suffers his poem to languish, every stanza presents some strong thought or vivid description, but that the structure of the verse ffour-line stanza) has laid him under the odd and unpleasing necessity of filling up his stanza, by compiling a simile, or a moral expressed in the two last lines along with the fact which had been expressed in the first. Dryden* s First Book. 127 DRYDEN (John) A POEM UPON THE DEATH OF HIS LATE HIGH- NESS, OLIVER, LORD PROTECTOR OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND, "Writtbn by Mr. Dryden. London, printed for William Wilson; and are to be sold in Well-yard, near Little St. Bartholomew's Hospital, 1659. THE EX- CESSIVELY RARE FIRST EDITION, 4to, sprinkled calf extra, by Riviere, £10 10s A most important piece— Dryden's ACTUAL FIRST PUBLICATION in book form. The rarity of this poem is too well known to need many remarks, and we think it sufficient to say it escaped the vigilant researches of Mr. Malone, and that it is not mentioned by Lowndes. The rarity can be accounted for by the fact that a few months after its publication the Restoration took place, and the author addressed a congratulatory poem to the King ; an incident which Sir Walter Scott refers to in these words : — '* It is singular that the post who solemnized by elegy THE DEATH OF THE PROTBCTOR SHOULD HAVE HAILED THE RESTORATION OF THE STUART LINE *' 1 his elegy was never acknowledged by the author in the collection of his work, though not forgotten by his enemies, and many years after its first appearance it was reprinted by one of his mean and malignant antagonists, with the hope of making him (Dryden) appear as an apostate, under the title of *' An Elegy on the Usurper, Oliver Cromwell, by the author of * Absalom and Achitophel.' " The poem consists of thirty-seven stanzas, written in the measure and somewhat in the manner of Gondibert. The flow of his versification improved, and his command of poetical language extended, but no marks were yet discovered of the luxuriance of early genius, or the overflow of a mind full of poetry; nor are there any traces in his language from which we may collect that his curiosity had been directed to the study of great poets who flourished in the preceding age. His poetry was in the general style of the time in which he lived ; it did not partake of any indi- vidual character, nor was it controlled by any presiding genius. It shows rather a vigorous under- standing and quick discernment than a rich imagination, or a fancy lavish of its youthful store. How little does it resemble the early poems of Milton, which were published but a few years previous to this time. Dryden' s Second Book. 128 DRYDEN (John) Astpjea Redux, a Poem on the happy Restoration and Return of his Sacred Majesty Charles the Second, by John Driden. Printed by J. M. for H. Serringman, 1660. J^irst Edition, folio, sewn [sold] A fine copy of an important and exceedingly rare Poem, the actual second publication of John Dryden in book form. When the Restoration took place, Dryden's kinsman and protector in London (Sir Gilbert Pickering, a staunch Republican) retired to his native country, and Dryden, now left on his own resources, hastened, in conjunction with his brother poets, to efface all memory of his former delinquency by publishing his Astrsea Redux in 1660. This poem is written in the taste and feeling of the former. One line A horrid stillness first invades the ear And in that si lence we a tempest fear, has been much ridiculed for the incorrectness and supposed absurdity of thought ; but it has been successfully vindicated by the reasoning of Johnson. Silence is a privation ; and yet the poets give it an active influence and power over the mind — Simul ipsa silentia terrent — are the words of one whose exquisite propriety of expression and correctness of thought are yet unrivalled. In this poem, " some of the similes," says Scott, " are brought out with singular ingenuity." " Waller, as well as Dryden, altered his sentimentsand changed his notes on the Restoration ; and when the King hinted to him the inferiority of his second poem to the former, answered, * Poets, Sir, succeed better in fiction than in truth.' What notice Charles took of Dryden's Astreea we are ignorant."— Dr. Joseph Warton. Dryden's Third Book. 129 DRYDEN (John) To His Sacred Majesty, a Panegyrick on his Coronation. H. Serringman, 1661. First Edition, folio, sewn, [sold] There is an animation of language and an energy of style, it is said, in this poem, yet mixed up with conceits of his preceding productions.

Driden. H. Herringman, 1662. First Edition, folio, sewn (very rare), [sold] This poem approaches more closely to the metaphysical style of Cowley and his contemporaries than any other of Dryden's compositions. Scott ingeniously conjectures that Dryden professedly wrote after the manner of those with whose works the Chancellor had formerly been acquainted; in fact, that he strove to please, by bringing again before the eyes of the aged statesman that glitter of sentiment which had delighted him in his youth. Johnson says Dryden never after strove to bring on the anvil such stubborn and unmanageable thoughts. 131 DRYDEN (John) BRITANNIA REDIVIVA, a Poem on the Birth op the Prince. /. Tonson, 1688. FIRST EDITION, small folio, fine copy, sewn, £4 4b " Dryden, who knew how to assume every style that suited the occasion, writes here in the character of a devout and grateful Catholic, with much of the unction which marks the hymns of the Romish Church. In English poetry we have hardly another example of the peculiar tone which the invo- cation of saints and an enthusiastic faith in the mystic doctrines of the Catholic faith can give poetry. To me, I confess, that communion seems to offer the same facilities to the p*tt t which it has been long famous for affording to the painter : and the Britannia Rediviva, while it celebrates the mystic influence of the sacred festivals of the Paraclete and Trinity, and introduces the war- like forms of St. Michael and St. George, has often reminded me of one of the ancient altar- pieces, which it is impossible to regard without reverence, though presenting miracles which never happened, or saints who never existed.'* — Sir Walter Settt. 132 DRYDEN (John) MAG FLECKNOE, or a Satyr upon the Trew-Blew- PROTESTANT POET, T. S., by THE AUTHOR OF ABSALOM AND ACHITOPHEL. 1682. FIRST EDITION, small 4to, sewn [sold] This is one of the best, as well as the severest, satires ever produced in our language. Pope's celebrated Dunciad was founded on it 1 homas Shad we 11 is the hero of the piece, and was introduced, as if pitched upon, by Flecknoe to succeed him in the throne of dulness ; for Flecknoe was never poet. laureate, as has been ignorantly asserted in Cibber's Lives of the Poets. In this poem, observes Ma! one, ample vengeance is taken by Dryden on his corpulent antagonist (Shad well); a torrent of wit and satire, mixed with contempt, indignation and derision, over- whelmed, in one gigantic effort, and by a well directed blow, the wretched poet aeainst whom it was levelled. The most cutting sarcasm was conveyed in skilful versification, which gave point and keenness to the edge of its wit, and which has been emulated and copied, but not exceeded even on the broader canvas of the Dunciad. 133 DRYDEN (John) Of Dramatic Poesie, an Essay by John Dryden, Esq. — Fungar vice cotis, acutum Reddere quae farrum valet, exoris ipsa secundi. Horat. De Arte Poet. London, printed for Senry Herringman, at the Sign of the Anchor on the Lower Walk of the New Exchange, 1668. FIRST EDITION, 4to, a fine copy in new sprinkled calf extra, rough gilt edges, with Frederick Locker's Bookplate, £4 4s This was Dryden's principal prose production. The character of Shakespeare's genius which he exhibits here in so masterly a manner called forth the highest encomiums from Dr. Johnson, who says, "It will not be easy to find in all the opulence of our language a treatise so artfully variegated with successive representations of opposite probabilities, so enlivened with imagery, so brightened with illustrations. His portraits of the English Dramatists are wrought with great spirit and diligence. The account of Shakespeare may stand as a perpetual model of encomiastic criticism, exact without minuteness, and lofty without exaggeration. The praise lavished by Longinuson the attestation of the heroes of Marathon, by Demosthenes, fades away before it. In a few lines is exhibited a character so extensive in its comprehension, and so curious in its limitations, that nothing can be added, diminished, or referred, nor can the editors and admirers of Shakespeare, in all their emulation of reverence, boast of much more than of having diffused and paraphrased the epitome of excellence, of having changed Dryden's gold for baser metal of lower value, thoueh of greater bulk." 134 DRYDEN (John) Religio Laici, or a Layman's Faith, a Poem. 1632. FIRST EDITION, Bmall 4to, half morocco neat, gilt edges. (From the libraries of Col. Grant and Frederick Locker, with bookplates of each inserted, also a MS. note in the Utter* s handwriting). £3 3s Of this poem Dr. Johnson says : " That it is a composition of great excellence of its kind, in which the familiar is very properly diversified with the solemn, and the grave with the humorous, in which metre has neither weakened the force, nor clouded the perspicuity of argument ; nor will it be easy to find another example equally happy of this middle kind of writing, which, though prosaic in some parts, rises to high poetry in others, and neither hovers to the skies, nor creeps along the ground."

He then gave him the plan of the Medal. Dryden took the hint, carried the poem as soon as it was finished to the King, and had a present of a hundred broad pieces for it. 141 DRYDENIANA. — Pordage (Samuel) The Medal Reversed, a Satyre against Persecution, by the Author of Azaria and Hushai. 1682.

His merriments were so irresistible that they moved even the rigid muscles of Queen Mary ; and her sullen solemnity was not proof against his songs, his rhymes, and his jests. He is said to have been often invited to exercise his arts of entertainment and pleasantry in her presence, and to have had the honour to be constantly admitted into her privy chamber for that purpose. •' His epigrams, 600 in number, are probably some of his jokes versified ; and perhaps were often ex- temporaneous sallies, made and repeated in company." — See Warton's History of English Poetry.

The above, though so accessible a work, seems to be read by very few, and has, perhaps, for the greater part, no great attractions for the general reader; there are, nevertheless, many passages of story and sentiment, which are calculated to be universally ii.teresting. The versions of the stories of Brutus the Trojan — The Fables of the Original Colonization of Britain — The Story of King Lear, must, we are sure, be important as related by Milton. 244 MONTAGU (Basil, Editor of Bacon's Works) Essays and Selections.

The Prologue to the First Part was spoken by Nell Gwyn in a broad brimm'd hat and waist*belt, one Nokes having appeared in some play in an enormous hat, which pleased the audience so much as to help of? a bad play merely by the effect of it. Dryden caused a hat to be made of the circumference of a coach wheel, and when Nell Gwyn appeared in that strange dress the bonse was immediately in convulsions; the King wanted but little of being suffocated with laughter. 298 OLD PLAY. — Dryden (John) The Tempest, or The Enchanted Island, a Comedy.

Small 4to, full calf extra, gilt edges, £1 18s This curious play contains, among many quaint references, an interesting notice of Tobacco. " Phlegmatico [one of the principal characters] "enters habited in a plain russet suit, on the back whereof was expressed one filling a pipe of tobacco ; his hat beset round with tobacco-pipes, with a can of drink hanging at his girdle," exclaiming "'Fore Jove, most meteorological tobacco ! pure Indian! not a jot sophisticated; a tobacco pipe is the chimney of perpetual hospitality. 'Fore Jove, most metropolitan tobacco ! " And then breaks out very unphlegmatkally into a jovial song in praise of the Plant. And " Musica's [another character] whimsical description of the first invented musical instrument will afford a good idea of the nature of this ingenious pro- duction, which the author says ' was but a rive weeks birth.' " Barton Holyday was born about the latter end of Queen Elizabeth's reign, in the parish of All Saints, Oxford. He died in 1661, leaving " behind him," says Langbaine, " the character of a general scholar, a good preacher, a skilful philosopher, and an excellent pott."

Firbt Edition, calf extra, £3 3s The Bodleian copy brought ^9 at auction. The plot of this play is borrowed from the 28th Novel of the second volume of Painter's Palace 0/ Pleasure, 1565. The magical circumstance, however, from which the play takes its name, is found in a variety of authors; it has all the appearance of an Arabian fiction, and was introduced into our romances at a very early period. The play was much approved at its first appearance, when it was acted, as the phrase is, by the whole strength of the house. Massinger himself speaks of it with complacency ; and, indeed, its claims to admiration are of no common kind. An unsuccessful attempt was made to revive the play by the Rev. H. Bate. Maguti excidit ausis. We tolerate no magic now but Shakespeare's; and without it the Picture can have but little interest. 332 OLD PLAY.— Massinger (Philip) The Renegado, a Tragae Comedie. 1630.

Ecchard says (in his Preface to his translation of Terence), " This is one of the pleasantest stories that ever appeared upon our stage, and has as much variety of plots and intrigues, without anything being precipitated, improper, or unnatural, as to the main action." Pepys' gives a curious notice of its first performance : " The house was crowded to suffocation, and by its frequent plaudits did show their sufficient approbation." He thought so highly of this drama that he considered it far superior to Othello ! ! ! Langbaine (in 1691) terms it " one of the best plays now extant, for ceconomy and contrivance." 355 OLD ROMANCE.— The Ephesian and Cimmerian Matrons, two notable examples of the Power of Love and Wit.

This was treated as a high crime against the laws of Parnassus, and the author himself deemed worthy of banishment from its domains. The poem is full of most delectable teachings, and must be studied and not skimmed over as some poems may be, which, like the flute, give out a sweet tone, and yet are empty. The longer one dwells upon this noble, but unfinished, monument of the genius of Sir William Davenant, the more one's admiration of it increases; and it is to be regretted that the unjust attacks which were made against it (or whatever else was the cause) prevented its completion. It might then, notwithstanding the prophetical oblivion to which Bishop Hurd has, with some acrimony, condemned it, have been entitled to a patent of nobility, and had its name inscribed on the roll of epic aristocracy.

The year of their marriage is not known, but in one of his poems {as they appeared in this impression) Habington speaks of Lucia as Castara." — Collier's Account of the Rarest Books in the English Language. Habington, says Mr. T. Clark, appears as an amatory poet to possess more unaffected tenderness and delicacy of sentiment than either Carew or Waller, with elegance of versification very seldom inferior to his more favoured contemporaries. His metre is uncommonly varied, and, as his love was real, his passionate expressions do not partake of that pedantic affectation which pervades the " Mistresse " of Cowley. And Sir Egerton Brydges remarks that Habington's poems are almost everywhere tinged with a deep moral cast, which ought to have made their fame permanent. 559 HABINGTON (William) CASTARA.

The preface in particular bears some traces of his peculiar vein. Hazlitt says : "Its fate was curious. Some thought it to be Lamb's, others thought it to be White's, a few (and these were on the right scent) deemed it to be a partnership to which 1-amb had contributed suggestions and White the remainder "; while Lamb described it as " a bundle of the sharpest, queerest, prof oundest humours of any these juice-drained latter times have spawned." 603 LAUD (Archbishop) An Elegie on the most Reverend Father in God William Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, Attached the 1 8th of December, 1640, Beheaded the 10th of January, 1644.

THE EXCESSIVELY RARE ORIGINAL EDITION, with a large woodcut on title, five other woodcut illustrations through the book, 4to, brown morocco super extra, gilt edges, by Riviere, £7 7s A volume of the highest decree of rarity. It was reprinted in facsimile by Mr. Maidment in 1873. In the Introduction to his reprint he (Mr. Maidment) says : — '■ It is evident neither Anthony A. Wood, nor, at a more recent period, Haslewood, ever saw a copy of the original edition of 'Sir Thomas Overburies' Vision,' which is of extreme rarity, and of which there is no copv in the library of the British Museum or in that of the Faculty or Advocates. Neither did Mr. Amos, who, in his elaborate work, entitled 'The Great Oyer Toisoning,' has quoted several portions of the poem from the ' Harleian Miscellany, Vol. VII.'" This learned gentleman, albeit a lawyer and a member of the Supreme Council of India, duly appreciated the poetical merits of Niccols, for he ventures to say— "The student of English poetry will read with much interest several of the lines, which, if he had not been apprized of their date, he would probably have supposed to have been written after the period of Waller and Denham." The lamented death of Sir Thomas Overbury, who was, on a frivolous charge, sent to the Tower, and there, by the machinations of the Earl of Somerset and his wife (formerly the notorious Countess of Essex), poisoned in 1613, was the origin of this poem. " Richard Niccols was a poet of great elegance and imagination, and one of the ornaments of the reign of Elizabeth."— Headlij. A copy was priced in B.A.P.

First Edition, 8vo, dark green morocco extra, paned sides, rough gilt edges, by Riviere, £\o ios Containing a most interesting preface by Izaac Walton, and commendatory verses bv Thomas Flatman. The Rttraptctivi Review says :— This poem was published by the venerable patriarch of anglers. Izaak Walton, as the production of a deceased friend. . . . When we add that theYe are two songs with the name of Chalkhill attached to them introduced in the Compute Angler, we believe we have placed the reader in possession of everything that is known respecting the supposed author of Thealma and Clearchus. It is not easy to conceive that a gentleman of his tastes and talents . . . should wholly escape the panegyrics or censures of his contemporaries . . . The con- clusion appears to us inevitable that Chalkhill was merely a mmmt de guerre, like Peter Pindar or Barry Cornwall. Whether Walton himself was the author of the poem before us may admit of more controversy ; we are ourselves strongly- convinced he was, and we think any person who takes the- trouble we have done in investigating the circumstances, and in comparing the Thealma with the acknowledged productions op Waiton, will come to the same con- clusion, etc., etc. Pickering § Ghatto, 66, HaymarJcet, St. James', S.W. 85 751 WALTONIANA. - Shepherd (R.

And after the same, is annexed a relation of the great princes, and the manifold religions in that part of the world, translated and collected by John Pory. 1600. Folio, old calf, fine copy, rare, £4 4s This important work forms a link between the narrative of the Arabian geographers and the discoveries of modern travellers and navigators. Leo having been an eye-witness to most of the scenes which he describes, his work forms the only original authority for the state of Northern and Central Africa during the period at which he wrote. 773 AFRICA AND ASIA.— Watreman (W.)

Imprintei at London by Henrie Bynneman, dwelling in Knightryder Streete, 1575. 36lacft %C\lZt, 4to, vellum, £3 10s This curious and scarce book comprises treatises on "Poetrie:" "Musicke;" "Daunsing;" "STAGE PLAYER'S ART;" " Astronomie ; " " Astrologie; " " Palmistrie; " "Magike;" "Witchcrafts;" "The Art of Bawdrie;" " Whourisb Arts;" "Housekeeping;" "Merchandise;" " Husbandry;" 'FISHING;" " Hunting and Fowling;" "HERALD- RIE;" "Architecture;" "Sworde Play;" " Arithmetic ;" etc., etc. In conclusion to a long and interesting notice of this quaint work, the Retroiptctivt Rnitw (Vol XIV) says : — " Every chapter is in fact a storehouse of knowledge, collected not as in our degenerate days, from sources provided by a profusion of works of reference, but sought out by persevering labour from mines of literary lore in the author's time, rare, expensive, and difficult of access. In the chapter on Heraldry, for instance, we find a mass of information derived from classical literature and other sources, however remotely connected with the subject, which must have been the fruit of many an anxious hour, and sufficient to appal the most diligent of our modern students. In a word we close the volume with the highest respect for our friend Cornelius, who, notwithstanding many faults of st)le and paradoxical views, has produced a work replete with deep knowledge of the world and human nature ; a work to which our readers of every class and profession in life may refer with profit, however severe may be the remarks they must expect to meet with, and unpalatable the truths profusely scattered throughout. Its quaint style and obsolete orthography would not, probably, operate against a more general reception ; but we fear a forbidden garb of black-letter type will for ever limit its station to the higher shelves of those antiquated libraries where dusty volumes " Fill the world with dread ; Are much admired, and but little read." 779 ALDUS. — Viaggi Fatti da vinetia, alla Tana, in Persia, in India* et in CoNSTANTiNorLi, con la descrittiona; particolare di citta, Luoghi, siti, Costumi, et della Porta delle gran Turco, et di tutti le intrati, spese, et modo di governo suo, et della ultima impressa contra Portoghesi.

FIRST THREE BOOKS OF TOOTHLESSE SATYRS : 1, Poeticall; 2, Academicall ; 3,MoraU. Three Last Books of Byting Satyres. 1599-1602. — Certain Worthy Manuscript Poems of Great Antiquitie, reserved long in the Studie of a Norfolke Gentleman, and now first published by J. S. : 1, THE STATELY TRAGEDY OF GUISTARD AND SISMONDE ; 2, THE NORTHERN MOTHER'S BLESSING ; 3, THE WAY TO THEIFTE. Imprinted at London for R.D., 1597. 12mo, one volume, bound in blue morocco extra, gilt back, by Riviere, £12 12s Priced in the Bibliotheca Anglo-Poetica at jg2$. These Satires, the first so-called, that were written in the English language, are by the eminent Joseph Hall, successively Bishop of Exeter and Norwich, and were published by him when a student at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, at the age of twenty-three. Warton, in the fourth vol of " English Poetry," dwells minutely upon this work, and says : '•These Satires are marked with a classical precision, to which English poetry has yet rarely attained. They are replete with animation of style and sentiment. The indignation of the satirist is always the result of good sense. Nor are the thorns of severe invective unmixed with the flowers of pure poetry. The characters are delineated in strong and lively colouring, and their discriminations are touched with the masterly traces of genuine humour. The versification is equally energetic and elegant, and the fabric of the couplets approaches to the modern standard. It is no inconsiderable proof of a genius predominating over the general taste of an age when every preacher was a punster, to have written verses where laughter was to be raised, and the Pickering $■ Chatto, 66, Haymarket, St James', S.W. 115 reader to be entertained with sallies of pleasantry, without quibbles of conceit. . . ." " The Certaine Worthy MS. Poems" (dedicated "to the worthiest Poet Master, Ed. Spenser") were published with and annexed to " Hall Satires." These poems bear no mark whatever of having been composed by Hall, but as they appeared in the same volume as his Satires during his lifetime, it may be presumed that he was in some way connected with their publication. Alexander Pope, on presenting Mr. West with a copy, observed that he esteemed them the Best Poetry and Truest Satire in the English Lanouage, and that he had an intention of modernizing them as he had done some of Donne's Satires. 1058 HAMILTON (Lady Augusta) Marriage Rites, Customs, and Ceremonies of all the Nations op the Universe. 1824.

Nearly a third of the narrative was omitted when the WORK WAS INCORPORATED BY THE AUTHOR INTO HIS " LlVES OF THE ENGLISH POETS." In 1744, Johnson rolled off from his powerful pen with as much ease as a thick oak a thunder shower, the sounding sentences which compose the " Life of Savage," and which shall for ever perpetuate the memory and tale of that "unlucky rascal." It is a wasp preserved in the richest amber The whole reads like one sentence, and is generally read at one sitting. Sir Joshua Reynolds, meeting with it at a country inn, began to read it with his arm leaning on a chimney- piece, and was not able to lay it aside till he had finished it, when he found his arm totally benumbed. 1077 JONSON (Benjamin) SEJANUS HIS FALL, written by Ben Jonson.

G. for E. Marriott, 1P57- Fiest Edition, 12mo, russia extra, choicely tooled, broad borders, gilt edges, by Smith, £5 5s Published anonymously. Contains poems addressed to Ben Jonson, Dr. Donne, George Sandys, Sir W. Raleigh, and one on Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy. " In these Poems," says Mr. Gilchrist, "there is a neatness, an elegance, and even a tenderness, which entitle them to more attention than they have lately obtained." They are also highly commended by Headley. " There is nothing by way of prelude or introduction to this work, except a prose address from ' the Publishers to the Author.* A stupid piece of deception was practised respecting these poems, which, for its clumsiness, deserves a memorandum. Whether this volume had sold but little from being published without an author's name, or whether a number of copies had fallen into the hands of some book-jobbing ignoramus who meant to make the most of them, certain it is that some time after publication a new titlepage made its appearance, the former one was displaced, the date altered, AND the Poems were called Bev Jonson's. As the volume is still scarce, the trick perhaps was soon detected, for besides a total dissimilarity in the style of Old Ben and Bishop King, there is a copy of verses inscribed, ' To my sister, Annie King ' ; and at page 83, 'To my dead friend, Ben Jonson.' Howell, the multifarious letter writer, says — 'In Dr. King's Poems I find not only heat and strength, but also an exact concinnity and evenness of fancy.'

FIRST EDITION, uith rare octagon portrait of Marrell, small folio, old calf, £8 8s Thip, the first edition of Marvell's Poems, was edited by his wife, and is an excessively scarce volume, particularly difficult to procure with the fine portrait. " His poems possess many of the finest elements of popularity; a rich profusion of fancy, which almost dazzles the mind, as bright colours dazzle the eye; an earnestness and heartiness which do not always — do not often — belong to these flowery fancies, but which, when found in their company, add to them inexpressible vitality and savour; and a frequent felicity of phrase, which, when once read, fixes itself in the memory, and will not be forgotten. . . . His mind was a bright garden, such a garden as he has described so finely; and that a few gaudy weeds should mingle with the healthier plants, does but serve to prove the fertility of the soil." — Mitford't Recollections of a Literary Life. "All his poems contain more or less of poetic beauty: some great tenderness of feeling and expression ; and others, successful descriptions of nature and pastoral scenes." — Jtetreifective Review. 1120 MASSINGER (Philip) The Maid or Honour. 1632.

This work was started in parts, in emulation of ''Sketches by Boz." The early numbers were illustrated by unknown artists. The two etchings illustrating the " Lumber Troop " are thought to be the work of G. A. Sala ; but Hablot K. Browne accepted an engagement, and contributed 18 out of the 24 plates. Among these may be recognised the types of many characters with which the public were to become familiar in the novels of Charles Dickens. There can be no doubt that to admirers of "Phiz" this volume is most interesting as containing seme of the earliest and most characteristic work of that artist. 1147 PHIZ. — Home Pictures, Sixteen Domestic Scenes of Childhood, Drawn and Etched by Hablot Knight Browne. 1851.

First Edition, with six full-page coloured plates and forty other illus- trations, all by "Phiz," 8vo, choicely bound in calf extra, gilt back, sides, and inside borders, with the original cloth covers preserved at end, by Riviere, £1 15s The largest series of illustrations " Phiz " produced in the time, under consideration, was the work ultimately published under the title of "Sir Guy de Guy" in 1864. These consisted of between fifty and sixty quarto drawings, and the artist's original idea was to publish the series by litho- graphy as " '1 he Adventures of Pott," with a rhyming commentary by himself. The artist carried the sketches to Mr. George Halse, and asked his advice in the matter. Mr. Halse, having some experience in literary undertakings, saw at once the merits of the designs and the poverty of the accompanying ver.*es. He suggested an alteration in the projected work, made a selection of forty from the series, and, at the artist's request, wrote poetical letterpress to go with the work. Sir Guy de Guy was the result, and Mr. Halse took the mm dt plumt of " Rattlebrain" for the occasion. The ttt'e and scheme of the book as published were entirely Mr. Halse's, who utilized the drawings as far as possible, and when they were unsuitable the designs were altered to suit the text. The Ahenaum at the time called the book "a remarkably brilliant example of its kind." — Tbompjon'i Life of Phix 1149 PHIZ. — Smedley (Frank E.)

FIRST EDITION, 8m, fine copy in the original wrappers as issued, UNCUT, AS NEW, 7s 6d This is one of the earliest and most outspoken of Mr. Swinburne's Revolutionary and Republican utterances, and although in later writings his views have been modified, it is supposed that the laureateship would have been filled by him at the present time, but for these earlier productions. The edition printed was a very limited one, and it has never been reprinted in separate form. " From 1867 to 1871, he [Swinburne] gave his ardent sympathy to the cause of European freedom, exerting himself in laudation, almost in apotheosis, of the republican heroes and martyrs. Possibly his radical tendency was strengthened in youth by association with a sturdy grandsire, the late Sir John Swinburne, who was a personal friend of Mirabeau." — Sudman't Victorian Poets. 1205 SWINBURNE (Algernon Charles) Songs of the Springtides. 1880.

Bulmer, speaking in his advertisement of the illustrations to the work, says that they were all engraved on wood by two of his " earliest acquaintances, Messrs. Bewick, of Newcastle-upon- Tyne and London, after designs made from the most interesting passages of the poems they embellish. They have been executed with great care, and I may venture to say, without being supposed to be influenced by ancient friendship, that they form the most extraordinary effort of the art of engraving upon wood that ever was produced in any age or any country. Indeed it seems almost impossible that such delicate effects could be obtained from blocks of wood." — Hugo's Bewick Collector.

At London, printed by E. A. for Richard Jtedmer, sould at his Shop at ye west gate of Paules, n.d. (circa 1611). FIRST EDI- TION, engraved title-page, containing amusing figure of Tolly mounted on the bach of Time, and scourged by Witt, with the words "Nay up with him if he were my brother," coming from Witt's mouth, 12mo, A perfect copy, in green morocco super extra, gilt edges, by Riviere, £21 This very scarce volume contains poems addressed to the most eminent public characters, poet's, literary men, etc., of the time, including William Shakespeare, Sir Philip Sidney, Sir John Harrington, Ben Jonson, Samuel Daniel, John Fletcher, John Marston, Michael Drayton, Sir Francis Bacon, the excellent lyrick poet Doctor (Thomas) Campion, Francis Beaumont, Tom Coriate, etc., etc. The following is the epigram addressed to Shakespeare : — " To our English Terence Mr. William Shake-speare. Epig. i$g. Some say (good Will) which I, in sport do sing, Had'st thou not plaid some kingly parts in sport, Thou had'st been a companion for a King ; And, beene a King among the meaner sort. Some ethers raile ; but raile as they think fit. Thou hast no rayling, but a raigning wit : And honestly thou sow'st, which they do reape So to increase their stocke which they do keepe." In the latter portion of the volume, the author attacks many of the most noted publications of the period. Amongst others are notices of Churchyard's Chippes, Sir ]ohn Harrington's Ajax, his own Witt's Pilgrimage, Nash's Pierce Penilesse, and his Contest with Gabriel Hervey, Greene's Coney-Catcher, Jonson's Every Man in His Humour, Dekker's Satiro Mastix, Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis, etc., etc. This notice is in verse, and is headed :— ,f Papers complaint, compil'd in ruthfull rimes, Against the paper-spoylers of these times." His interesting criticism of Shakespeare's Venus and Adonis is as follows :— Another (ah Lord helpe) mee vilifies, With art of Love and how to subtilize, Making lewd Venus, with eternall lines, To tye Adonis to her love's designes- Fine wit is shewn therein : but fine twere If not attired in such bawdy geare. But be it as it will : the coyest dames, In private read it for their closset-games : For, sooth to say, the lines so draw them on, To the venerian speculation, That will they, nill they (if of flesh they bee), They will think of it, sith loose thought is free. And thou (O Poet) that dost pen my plaint. Thou art not scot-free from my just complaint : For, thou hast plaid thy part with thy rude pen, To make us both ridiculous to men. The work is exceedingly rare, Major Gaisford's copy being sold for £n ios., and Mr. Crawford's last year for ^24 ios. Few books indeed can claim to so much importance as this does, it being one of the very small number that referred to our immortal bard before his death, and we believe this is the only volume which contains two distinct notices of any length relative to him. Apart from this interest, the book is highly valuable for the many pieces, giving us the author's ideas as to the respective merits of his contemporaries, and on the passing events of the time.

Character op Bubble, with the words " Tu Quoque to you, Sir," coming from his mouth, some margins neatly mended, sprinkled calf extra, gilt edges, by Riviere, £5 6s We are told by T; Heywood, -who edited this play, and who has written to it a preface, that it passed the Stage with great applause.
