Dear Sir, The following Ode is on a subject which I know you by no means regard with indifference 'O, Liberty, Thou mak'st the gloomy face of Nature gay, Giv'st beauty to the sun, and pleasure to the day.' It does me so much good to meet with a man whose honest bosom glows with generous enthusiasm, the heroic daring of Liberty, that I could not forbear sending you a composition of my own on the subject, which I really think is in my best manner. I have the honor to be Dr Sir Your very humble servant RoBT. Burns. The last line of each verse differs from the ordinary printed versions ; generally by the addition of a word, such as ' Or to victorie,' ' Or to glorious victory.' 43, PICCADILLY, W., and 140, STEAND, W.C. 3 "" MEISTERSCHAFT [A Drama] in Three Acts.

The whole neatly inlaid and bound in crimson Levant moroccco, gilt edges. Price £465. Lady Ritchie, in her Introduction, states that this MS. was discovered in the same box that held the MS. of the 'Knights of Borsellen ' {see next page), where it had been put away (about 1841) and forgotten (till about 1907). She adds, ' It was after this little journey that he crossed to Ireland and wrote the ' Irish Sketch Book.' Then followed ' Cornhill to Cairo ' and ■" Barry Lyndon,' the many plans and projects of that time in their turn, and as likely as not the ' Cockney Journey ' passed from his mind. It will be seen that now and again there are passages and descriptions of great beauty and feeling in these chapters. He was in trouble at the time, but how charmingly the aspects of the world appear before his kind eyes.' The chief topics of the chapters are Bristol, Chepstow, and TiNTERN Abbey. 43, PICCADILLY, W., and 140, STRAND, W.C. 7 No. 7. -pHE KNIGHTS OF BORSELLEN BY WILLIAM MAKEPEACE THACKERAY THE ORIGINAL MS. consisting of 41 pp. 4to. all in the AUTHOR'S HANDWRITING, also 7 PENCIL DRAWINGS 6 3 WATER=COLOUR DRAW- INGS by him, with MS.

' My father used sometimes to speak to us of a mediaeval romance that he had intended to write. There is Mr. Motley's record of hearing- him say, ' That he was thinking- about a novel of the time of Henry V. which would be his Capo d'Opera, and in which the ancestors of all his present characters, Warring-tons, Pendennises, and all the rest should be introduced.' ' It would be a most magnificent performance,' he said, 'and no one would read it.' This novel of my father's did not reach beyond the opening chapters, which are printed here for the first time. They seem to date from about 1841, when he was living and working in Paris. In this early fragment one is constantly struck by the resemblance to some of his later work, such as ' Esmond ' or ' Pendennis ' ; there is the same chord in the sentences, the same methods are used to create the impression of actuality. A friend suggests that in old Castel-Sarrasin we have the original of Major Pendennis, who was not to be born for some four hundred years, and no wonder we are reminded of him since the Pendennises and the Castlewoods have the blood of these mediseval ancestors flowing in their veins. Though the story of Fra,nk de Borsellen was not continued by my father, we can see what use he made of his early studies in ' The Legend of the Rhine,' ' Rebecca and Rowena,' and the ' Prize Novelists'.' — Introduction by Lady Ritchie.

But want of provisions was amply compensated by the blessed knowledge that they were still free . . . But though England is thus laid destitute and in the dust in spite of all the laudable exertions of your Lordship and the Ministers there is still a spark unquenched which enables us to despise our Tyrants and to drop the silent tear of gratitude to Sir F.

We are assembled to save our native land from the scorn of foreign nations .... those glorious rights those sacred liberties which were once the admiration of the world .... honour, morality has been vitally tainted by the filthy slime of Italian reptiles ; when we consider that our Government which might have rivalled the laurelled glories of Imperial Kome has stooped to calumniate a helpless, high- minded woman and that woman the Queen of England. . . . The liberty, the rights of my. native land, totters on the awful precipice of destruction, and if on the sacred soil of Britain there breathes a man base enough not to be ready to exert every mental energy, every corporeal energy in Britain's cause, that man is well worthy of his country's degradation and of his country's contempt.' — etc. 162 CICERO : Translation from Cicero.

The supreme importance of the caricature, both to the historian and the student of history, is sufficiently demonstrated by Dr. Holland Rose, not only in his Life of Napoleon, but in the Introduction he has contributed to this work. ' In the early days of the French Revolution the power of the caricature was speedily recognised by all parties. It was this particular form of ridicule, exercised so unmercifully in 1789 and 1790, which did much to prepare public opinion for the great upheaval of 1793.' — Preface.
