INTRODUCTION 
 
 MAN has ever been fascinated by the joy of collecting, from 
 the days when a pebble of special roundness, or a mammoth 
 bone of enticing sharpness, appealed to the artistic tastes of our 
 distant ancestors; and the bliss of it all has never been more pro- 
 nounced than it is to-day, with our widening opportunities and 
 abounding wealth (less war taxes). When books were first made, 
 men longed to possess them and gathered them together in great 
 libraries, only to be dispersed later by sale, or destroyed by the 
 invasion of unwelcome neighbors who could not read. In our 
 own day there. is no author so appealing to the collector as Thack- 
 eray. Like Dickens, a number of his volumes were published in 
 parts, and the possession of these with the original covers untinged 
 by dust, and the advertisements intact, is the proper object of 
 every well-regulated ambition, and to bind them would be but to 
 destroy much of their value. 
 
 Unlike many of the writer clan, Thackeray has other claims to 
 our consideration and esteem. He was something of an artist as 
 well, and a versifier of real ability. He was never a great painter 
 or draftsman, but at the same time there is something appealing 
 about his drawings that makes us overlook their technical short- 
 comings. More often than not his drawings were caricatures, but 
 their aptness and their humor made them appeal strongly to the 
 reader. Conscious of his inability to draw well, Thackeray mod- 
 estly permitted Doyle to illustrate The Newcomes, and while the 
 result showed greater technique the world lost, and missed, Thack- 
 eray 's brilliant humor. Most of us now, I think, acknowledge that 
 Vanity Fcdr is the most admirably illustrated book extant. 
 
 Original drawings by Thackeray are becoming more valuable 
 every year, and this tendency increases as they inevitably become 
 more rare. The examples treasured up by his daughters have 
 finally been dispersed and many of the best of these have been 
 acquired by public libraries or museums, or have been gathered 
 into large private collections where they will probably remain for 
 many years if not forever. 
 
 Another object of the collector's longing is in the numerous 
 letters which Thackeray wrote, for he was the most appealing 
 letter-writer of his age, as entertaining as Horace Walpole, but 
 
without his ill-natured gossip. His handwriting was clear and 
 attractive, and he frequently added a sketch that illumined the 
 whimsical humor of the text. Examples of this trait are with 
 reason justly prized, and this collection offers an opportunity to 
 buyers that will not often occur again. 
 
 Thackeray's first appearance in print was with Flore et Zephyr, 
 London, 1836, but his initial iook was The YeUowplush Corre- 
 spondence, gathered from Fraser by Carey and Hart, of Philadel- 
 phia, in 1838. Both these items were printed without Thackeray's 
 name, and the Philadelphia volume without even the knowledge 
 of the author. Choice copies of both of these volumes are in this 
 library. Thackeray appeared in this Philadelphia volume when 
 he was almost unknown as a writer, and it is significant that at 
 about the same time these discriminating publishers gathered to- 
 gether the first collection of the essays of Maeaulay, while a Boston 
 house published the first edition of Sartor Eesartus, Carlyle being 
 unable to find anyone in London willing to undertake the task. 
 
 The manuscripts and drawings in the Van Duzer library are 
 second in importance only to the offerings in the Lambert sale, 
 and it is probable that many years will pass before any manuscripts 
 as extensive or as important will appear in the auction room. 
 
 Probably the most conspicuous treasures offered in this sale are 
 the several novels which had appeared in parts. Mr. Van Duzer, 
 as shown in his bibliography, has devoted much time and energy 
 to the collation of the advertisements that accompanied the several 
 parts of the novels and it is probable that these copies of Yamty 
 Fair, Pendennis, The Newcomes, and The Virginians, are more 
 nearly perfect than any copies ever before offered for sale. 
 
 The Pendenmis numbers are of especial interest, as when Thack- 
 eray revised the text he left out an entire chapter with its two 
 sketches. Vanity Fadr was also blue-pencilled, and a couple of 
 paragraphs with three drawings disappeared from the revised text. 
 The well-known drawing of Lord Steyne was probably omitted 
 owing to some injury to the cut, as it was restored to its place in 
 the edition of 1868, while the other three drawings were not repro- 
 duced at aU. When The Virginians appeared, Harper & Brothers 
 of New York paid the author something for advance sheets, and 
 printed the novel in Harper's Magazine. To their annoyance the 
 New York Tribune printed it also in their semi-weekly issue, declar- 
 ing that the text was from the original parts as issued in London. 
 They had a legal right to do this as there was then no international 
 treaty on copyright, but by the same token the Harpers had an 
 equal right to object. On one occasion Harper's made some slight 
 alteration in the text, and the variation appeared likewise in the 
 Tribune. Thereupon the Harpers exclaimed, "You are stealing 
 
 6 
 
from us," while the Tribune charged the Harpers with altering 
 Thackeray's text and then boasting of their iniquity. 
 
 To point out aU the choice items in this collection would be but 
 to reprint the catalogue itself, and yet this great collection con- 
 tains certain rare items that cannot be lightly passed over by any- 
 one in the least interested in this fascinating subject. Here are 
 superb copies of The Snob and The Gownsman, of The Exquisites 
 and King Glumpus, of The Second Funeral of Napoleon and The 
 Book of Snobs. While The Constitutional and The National 
 Standard are not in Mr. Van Duzer's collection almost everything 
 else is, and we find here The Britannia, The Anti-Corn-Law Cir- 
 cular, The Pictorial Times, The Corsair, and all the original num- 
 bers of the London Times containing critical essays by Thackeray. 
 Of course we do not discover the Memoirs of Major Gahagan, which 
 Thackeray himself declared had been printed in America, which 
 the Corsair confirmed, but which no one else has ever seen ; but we 
 do find the Harper edition of The Great Hoggarty Diamond, 
 another real first, of which the Athenaeum library in Boston pos- 
 sesses the only other copy known (a fire having destroyed most of 
 the issue). Mr. Van Duzer's collection of the first issues of The 
 English Hv/mourists is probably the most complete that has ever 
 been gathered together. Rare and tempting to the collector are also 
 the Charterhouse Blue Boohs, recording Thackeray's youthful 
 progress from 1822 to 1828, while The Snob's Trip to Paris, 'Mr. 
 Thackera/y, Mr. Yates and the Garrick Club, and The Ballymulligan 
 Polka, will bring joy to the hearts of the successful bidders and 
 disappointment to a host of others.

 "My dear Sir: I am, very sorry to teU you of my misfortunes. I have 
 Tnade 3 etchings on the Schonherg Plan of the ' Anglo-PoUsh Allegory'

 are not fit for his process: that is, I fea/r the Process will not succeed 
 quite yet. I shall however do the drawing to-morrow on a wood 
 iloclc," etc.

 London, 1849 
 
 LAKGE paper COPT, TOGETHER WITH PART OP THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT 
 or THE FIRST PART OF THE EPILOGUE. 
 
 The original draft of the "Epilogue was written on one page, 4to, and 
 consists of only seven stanzas as compared with eleven in the printed text; 
 in fact, it is a mere outline of the theme as finally developed, and shows 
 in its interlineations and corrections the difficulties Thackeray had to 
 contend with (sometimes, at any rate) in writing verse; for example: 
 
 "Vor rich or poor, for good or ill. 
 
 Let young or old accept their part. 
 And how themselves to Seamen's high will 
 
 And tear it with an honest heart." 
 
 In this manuscript the author has altered it to read: 
 
 "Come wealth or want, come good or ill, 
 Let young and old accept their part. 
 
 And how hefore the Awful Will 
 And hear it with an honest heart." 
 
 There is inserted an 8 pp. A. L. s. from Mrs. Ritchie, transmitting 
 this manuscript and giving some interesting details of the disposal of her 
 father's drawings and manuscripts.

 the desk who are named, and a line, "This is their hour of preparing

 The second letter is one page, 4to, reading in part: 
 "I send you the rest of the a/rtiole; Amen, and as I think it over, and 
 over, the hows of toil which have been spent in its com/position, I camnot 
 iut give it as my candid opinion that you home had all things considered 
 a pretty good bargain for your money ... 7 know not how far the article

 inal yellow wrappers bound in, by Riviere. 
 
 London: Bradbury & Evans, 1857 
 
 "The Fitz-Boodle Papers" were contributed to "Praser's Magazine" 
 
 in 1842 and 1843. They were first published in separate form by D. 
 
 Appleton & Co. in 1852. [See "Confessions of Pitz-Boodle" in this 
 
 catalogue.] 
 
 "Men's Wives" first appeared in "Praser's Magazine" in 1843. It 
 was first published, as issued, in separate form by 6. Appleton & Co., in 
 
 1852, and included " Wife." [See "Men's Wives" in this 
 
 catalogue.] 
 
 This edition does not include "The 's Wife." It was published 
 
 in "Stray Papers," Philadelphia, 1901, but is not in the Centenary Bio- 
 graphical Edition. 
 
 PROBABLY THE CHOICEST AND LARGEST KNOWN 
 
 COPY 
 
 93. FLORE ET ZEPHYR. A Collection of Nine unnum- 
 bered) plates, including the wrapper title. Par Theophile Wag- 
 Staff. Folio, unbound, in original wrapper. In red levant morocco 
 box, with brass catches, lined with red moire silk. 
 
 A MAGNIFICENT COPT OF THIS EXCESSIVELY RARE PIECE, THE NINE PLATES 
 BEING DRAWN BY THACKERAY, AND SIGNED WITH THE PSEUDONYM, THEO- 
 PHILB WAGSTAPP. 
 
 They are all pine impressions on india paper, measuring 13% x 9% 
 inches. Each plate bears Thackeray's monogram, "W. T." 
 
 Most copies are slightly tinted. The copy in the British Museum is 
 nncolored as is the present copy, and Lady Ritchie has stated that they 
 
 WERE originally UNCOLORED. 
 
 Prom a careful examination of various copies, and from the fact that 
 in all bound copies the plates are in a different order, and that the sizes 
 of the plates in the bound copies vary, we believe that in the original issue 
 
 THE plates were UNBOUND AND UNCOLORED AND THAT THIS COPY IS IN THE 
 
 original condition and size as first issued. 
 
 The present copy measures as large as or larger than ant other 
 COPY that has been examined.

 jeum" paper, for one of the lectures, 41 lines, partly in verse; also,

 the authorship of ' ' Mr. Thackeray in the United States ' ' and to complete 
 the entire series of contributions by Thackeray to the magazine.

 First Edition. One of the last of Thackeray's drawings. The 
 four etchings represent the celebrated prize-fight between Heenan and 
 Sayers, at Farnborough, in 1860. In the etching can be seen, at the back 
 of the crowd, the figures of Thackeray, Thomas Landseer, and "Mr. 
 Punch." 
 
 It is probable that Thomas Landseer contributed largely to the drawing, 
 though the figures of the Novelist, ' ' Punch, ' ' and Landseer look as though 
 done by Thackeray.

 THE ONLY COPY RECORDED AT AUCTION 
 
 110. HARLEQUIN AND HUMPTY DUMPTY; or, Robbin 
 de Bobbin, and the First Lord Mayor of Lun'on, a Grand His- 
 torical Pantomime. By B. Fitzball, Esq. With illustrations by

 December 26th, 1850. 12mo, original wrappers printed in black, 
 back worn, in a red morocco slip-case. 
 
 London : Printed and Published by S. G. Fairbrother, 31, Bow 
 Street, Covent Garden ; and may be had in the theatre. 
 
 The 20 illustrations are attributed to Thackeray. But few copies are 
 known, and this, the Lambert copy, seems to be the only one recorded as 
 sold at auction. One of the few known copies seems, also, to be of a 
 different issue, with the cover stamped in gold instead of black, and lacking 
 the imprint on the title-page. That issue was perhaps made for presen- 
 tation. To support his assertion that the illustrations in this book are 
 by Thackeray, its discoverer, Bertram Dobell, states: "I do not think 
 that anyone well acqwivKted with Thackeray's peculiar manner can doubt, 
 after seeing the illustrations to 'Hwmpty Dumpty,' that they were designed 
 hy the great novelist. They resemble his work no less by virtue of their 
 defects than by their merits. As usual with him,, the figures are very 
 defective in point of drawing, but they have a full share of the humour 
 and quaintness wMoh are always apparent m his designs. They are much 
 akin to the illustrations of 'The Bose amd the Ring.' " A manuscript 
 accompanying the volume explains the name "W. West" as illustrator: 
 "He might very likely use a pseudonym in order to a/oert suspicion of his 
 being the ^aughtsman. The nam,e of 'West' would be likely to occur to 
 him in this connection. Yov, win remember (in the latter part of Vanity 
 Fair) how the boy George Osbom and his friend Master Todd used to 
 amuse themselves with 'West's pantomames.' This is probably a reminis- 
 cence of Thackeray's own boyhood, and the nmne West would naturally 
 suggest itself. ' ' 
 
 111. HERTFORD (MARQUIS OF). A. L. s. 1 p., 8vo, Hert- 
 ford. Aug. 3, 1832. Addressed "Gentlemen." Inlaid.

 Eair."

 THACHIBRAY'S COPT, WITH HIS MONOGRAM STAMP ON EACH TITLE-PAGE, 
 AND TWENTY-ONE NOTES IN HIS HANDWRITING REFERRING TO PASSAGES

 This work was undoubtedly used in preparing his lectures on Greorge IV, 
 and the notes were made on the end fly-leaves for easy reference. There 
 IS A PENCIL SKETCH OP A HEAD in the back of Vol. II. Bookplates of 
 Henry Crawshay, and probably bought by him at the sale of Thackeray's

 the worst of it is that I am going to refuse even that. I want to go out 
 of town for my health's sake and try Dr. Air and Dr. Thalassa. You are 
 a good doctor, but I want, I say, to try the latter," etc. 
 
 There is also inserted one page op the original manuscript or "Pen-

 in November or December, 1848, and preceded the English Edition by two

 Dickson was able to locate but one copy of this New York edition, that

 Titmarsh's description of the death of his child is generally thought to 
 embody Thackeray's recollection of the loss of his second daughter, who 
 died in infancy.

 E. McCormick, F.R.C.S., E.N., Chief Medical OfBcer of the North Star

 A EELic OF Captain Kellett's eespedition in seakch of Franklin. 
 The bill gives an early clue to the authorship of ' ' King Glumpus, ' ' which 
 was published in 1837, with Thackeray's illustrations, and has sometimes 
 been attributed to him. It is here accredited to the son of Sir John 
 Barrow, Secretary of the Admiralty. The only known presentation op

 old handwriting. Next time I will send you screed in the up-right hand

 probably in 1836 and 1837, containing 5 pages of accounts and 
 about 25 Small Pencil Sketches. Oblong 12mo, in the original 
 half morocco binding. In levant solander case. 
 
 Although Thackeray's signature does not appear in the book, there is 
 no reason to doubt that the entries are his. It was probably used while 
 its owner was the Paris correspondent for the ' ' Constitutional and Public 
 Ledger," as over a pencil sketch of a drooping old horse is written 
 "Constitutional." One of the entries is "^ Weeks Salary due Saturday 
 17 Deer. £ 16. 16." ; followed on the next page by a similar entry, "due 
 1 JamuoA-y £ 16. 16." The name "Mrs. Crowe" is written in another 
 hand on the first page.

 This is appaeentlt the Original First Draft of the poem, with 
 CORRECTIONS AND INTERLINEATIONS. It agrees with the Original sent to 
 
Lucy Baxter, April 15, 1853, as facsimiled in her "Letters," p. 59, with 
 the exception that in this draft the last line of the first verse reads:

 In the copy sent to Lucy Baxter it reads: 
 
 "The Mushes of her maiden Spring."

 Lucy's Birthday." Dated New York, April 15, on last two pages

 in the Boston Edition, 1856, of the "Ballads." 
 
 This varies slightly from the two preceding manuscripts.

 A remarkably fine piece, humorous in character, the sketch illustrat- 
 ing the climax, and it is signed by Thackeray, as part of a formulated 
 plan, with the name of another famous writer. 
 
 "But permit me to say, dear Lady Morley. Merciful powers! what 
 WMSt have been the astonishment of the reigning Duchess on entering her 
 granddaughter's apartment long before daybreak on the bridal mornimg 
 (with her mmds of honor coiled up from their couches to attend the 
 anxious parent and sovereign). What, I say, rrmst have been her H's 
 astonishment to find the Princess's couch deserted! 
 
 Yes deserted! the virgin nightcap lay crimped and undisturbed on the 
 unruffled pillow, the pillow on the swelling feather bed, which that night,

 With 22 plates, colored, by the author. Square Svo, original pink 
 glazed boards, in green levant morocCo solander case. 
 
 London: Chapman & Hall, 1847 
 
 The very eaee Fikst Edition. 
 
 Three editions of this book were published in 1847, in pink boards, and 
 the general acceptance of the priority of these editions is as follows : 
 
 1. No letterpress under the plate facing the title; no list of illustra- 
 tions, and no advertisement, p. 47. Colored plates. 
 
 2. No letterpress under the plate facing the title; list of illustrations; 
 advertisement on p. 47, and colored plates. 
 
 3. Letterpress under plate facing the title; list of illustrations; adver- 
 tisement on p. 47, and uncolored plate. 
 
 There is, however, a single copy, possibly unique, which differs from 
 all three above mentioned, and was in all probability a special copy pre- 
 pared for Locker-Lampson, with a pencil drawing by Thackeray in it.

 Veet raee. In this Journal, which is one of the little-known Thack- 
 eray items, he is accredited with the series of "Original Papers" which 
 ran through many of its numbers, and several reviews, biographical skits 
 and verses, which are unmistakably by him. Thackeray purchased this 
 periodical in May, 1833, and changed the name to ' ' The National Stand- 
 ard, " etc. In this latter Journal he continued the series of "Original 
 Papers" which had appeared in the former, and these bear convincing 
 evidence of the authorship of the first series.

 MARBLE BUST OF THACKERAY 
 
 247. MARBLE BUST of Thackeray. The bust was originally 
 made by Baron Marochetti in 1865 and placed in Westminster 
 Abbey. The bust as it is now was sculptured by H. Wehner in 
 1900, under the direction of E. Onslow Ford. This copy was made 
 by Wehner after the changes had been made in the original. It is 
 about 29 inches in height with the base. Mounted on a pedestal 
 of gray mottled marble. 
 
 Liady Ritchie had never been satisfied with the bust in the Abbey. Upon 
 Major Lambert's request to make a copy of it, a correspondence took 
 place which resulted in Major Lambert being allowed to have a copy of 
 
 47 
 
the bust if he would bear the expense of making the desired changes in 
 the original. 
 
 This is the copy made for Major Lambert, and the correspondence 
 between him and liadt eltchie accompanies the bust. 
 
 Lady Ritchie wrote Major Lambert, November 4, 1900: "I went to 
 the Abbey to-day to the early 10 o'clock service and thought with true 
 gratitude as I took my seat by the familiar father once more and not 
 that strange travesty, which I had not liked to look at for I thought it 
 would go down as a true representation of him, and I could not bear to 
 think of it. I never thought to feel so happy standing by his monument 
 as I did to-day."

 288. SECOND FUNERAL OF NAPOLEON (THE), and 
 
 The Chronicle of the Drum. 4 full-page woodcwts. Square 16mo, 
 
 original brownish gray covers, in green crushed levant morocco 
 
 slip case. London: Hugh Cunningham, 1841 
 
 Pine copy of the excessively rare First Edition. The plates are 
 
 not referred to in the work, probably being added later, as they are not 
 
 by Thackeray. The illustration on the cover only is his, henee the 
 
 importance of having the cover in its correct state. This illustration was 
 
 not reprinted. 
 
 The genuine issue may be identified as follows: In the plate opposite 
 the title, there is an inscription (none in the reprint), and on page 120, 
 the thirteenth line has five stars (four in the reprint). 
 
 The genuine cover may be distinguished by noticing that the shading 
 on the cheek of Napoleon has six distinct short lines (three in the 
 reprint) and the cover of the reprint is a blue-gray.

 New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1853 
 In the First Edition, 1852, the publishers omitted the first three num- 
 bers of "A Little Dinner at Timmins's." Thackeray called their atten- 
 tion to the omission, and this, a new edition, was published, supplying the 
 missing three numbers. 
 
 293. SHABBY GENTEEL STORY (A). 8vo, green crushed 
 levant morocco, gilt top, uncut, original yellow wrappers bound in,

 green levant morocco, gilt top, uncut, original wrappers bound in, 
 by Riviere. London: Bradbury & Evans, 1856 
 
 This is one of the "Miscellanies." The initial paper was omitted 
 from this by Thackeray, and the editor of the Library Edition of the 
 "Works" in 1869 omitted the illustration to "The Curate's Walk" and 
 replaced it with that designed for the introductory paper. This blunder 
 was not corrected until the Macmillan edition of 1904, when, for the first 
 time, the "Sketches and Travels in London" were represented complete.

 Cambridge: Published by W. H. Smith, 1829 
 
 A SUPERB COPY OF ONE OP THE BAREST THACKEBAY ITIjMS. It WaS pub- 
 lished in 11 numbers, beginning Thursday, April 9, 1829, and ending 
 Thursday, June 18, 1829. The papers were then collected and issued 
 with 5 prelimiaary leaves containing a Title, Dedication, Preface and 
 Index. At the head of many numbers are the words ' ' Third Edition, ' ' 
 "Fourth Edition," "Fifth Edition," which was probably done to pre- 
 sume a large sale. A comparison with other copies shows that no com- 
 plete sets were made up alike. Two points of uniformity do, however, 
 appear: No. 4 is usually of the Fourth Edition, and No. 8, of the First 
 Edition. 
 
 The numbers are printed on various colored papers, and in this respect, 
 also, no uniform method was followed, copies of the same number and 
 same edition being on different colored paper. 
 
 There is a peculiarity in the imprint which has generally been over- 
 looked. Some of the imprints read "Printed for the Editors," but Nos. 
 6, 7, and 9 read "Printed for the Editor." We know from Thackeray's 
 letters that two pieces at least in No. 6 were by him, and No. 9 is practi- 
 cally all made up of the "Bamsbottom Papers." It is possible, there- 
 fore, that those numbers reading "Printed for the Editor" are entirely 
 by Thackeray. 
 
 THE ONLY COPY KNOWN TO US 
 
 301. SNOB'S TRIP TO PARIS (THE), 36 pp., 16mo, sewn, 
 uncut, wrappers wanting. In full green levant morocco case. 
 
 Cambridge: W. H. Smith, n. d. 
 
 The Exteemely bake Fiest Edition of this clever little piece, which 
 has been generally attributed to Thackeray, on account of its being 
 written about a "Snob" and printed by the same printer as Thackeray's 
 "Snob." 
 
 This is the pibst copy, and the only one, seen by Mr. Van Duzer, 
 of the First Edition, all the other copies occurring being marked "Second 
 Edition." 
 
 This latter edition (also in the present collection, see following item), 
 contains many typographical changes and differences from the First 
 Edition. There is no " Moral ' ' as the final stanza in the First Edition, 
 and this being an extra verse, all the preceding stanzas were moved up, 
 so that on the first page there appear three, instead of two as in the 
 First Edition. 
 
 It was published, probably, 1829-30.

 is a lengthy article, ' ' An Act of a Viset to the High and Lowlands of 
 Callerdonier by Mrs. Mary Eamsbottom, late Korrispoudent to the Jno. 
 Bui Newse Paper," possibly written by Thackeray. 
 
 In the "Snob" he used the name "Dorothea Julia Eamsbottom," and 
 "Mr. Eamsbottom" to some of his contributions, and the orthography 
 of this article is the crude spelling such as was used in the "Tellowplush 
 Papers" and private letters.

 New York: Stringer & Townsend, 1850 
 
 In this American edition the publishers seem to have had an insufScient 
 
 number of sets of plates printed properly to illustrate their edition, or 
 
 55 
 
to reduce expense they used only six in each, copy, making it necessary 
 for the collector to get two copies if he wished to obtain all the illustra- 
 tions. One volume contains plates 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 12; the other, plates 
 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 11.

 THE SOURCE AND INSPIRATION OF "FLORE ET 
 
 ZEPHYR" 
 
 316. TAGLIONI (MARIE). Swedish Opera Dancer. Born 
 April 23, 1809 ; retired June 29, 1844. Six Sketches of Mademoi- 
 selle Taglioni in the Characters in which she has appeared during 
 the Present Season. Drawn from the Life hy A. E. Chalon. 
 
 London, 1831 
 
 From a careful comparison of the Sketches with "Flore et Z6phyr, " 
 and from the fact that they were published in 1831 and that the first 
 sketch is of "Flore," it would seem highly peobable that Thack- 
 eeat's Drawings, published in 1836, when Taglioni was still on the 
 stage, were inspired by these sketches. 
 
 Inserted is an A. L. s. in French, with address envelope. Signed ' ' Mme. 
 Gilbert de Voisins nSe Taglioni, 7 July, 1844." Mile. Taglioni married 
 Count Gilbert de Voisins in 1834.

FOUR MANUSCRIPTS OF BALLADS 
 
 339. VANITY FAIR. ' ' The Rose upon My Balcony, " " Mili- 
 tary Ant," "King Fritz," and "Mathilde." The Manuscripts 
 are written on three sides of four quarto pages, in Thackeray's 
 sloping hand. The draft for "The Rose upon my Balcony" is 
 written in pencU ON THE BACK OF A PEN-AND-INK 
 SKETCH BY THACKERAY, and consists of the first two verses 
 of the poem. The finished poem is not materially changed from 
 Thackeray's draft. Tipped on sunken card mounts, the text inlaid 
 to quarto size, and bound in full blue levant morocco, red moire 
 silk doublures, by Riviere. 
 
 The complete mantjsceipt of "The Eoee upon my Balcony" is writ- 
 ten, together with the other BaUads, in the following order: 
 
 Military Air and Chorus — Centenary Biographical Edition ("Bal- 
 lads"). 
 
 Song— "The Eose Upon my Balcony"— ("Vanity Fair"). 
 Ballad— "Old Vanrennan "— " King Fritz" ("Cornhill Magazine"). 
 
 Ballad and Scene — "Mathilde" — Centenary Biographical Edition 
 ("Ballads"). 
 
 "The Eose Upon my Balcony" is entitled "Song," and the entire 
 composition as it appears here is used by Thackeray in "Vanity Pair," 
 with a few interesting changes, notably the word "Papa" changed to 
 "Mamma" in the publication. A page from the First Edition of 
 "Vanity Fair" (on which the Ballad appears) is inlaid opposite the 
 original manuscript. 
 
 The Manuscript is authenticated as follows: "The original MBS. of 
 The Eose Upon My Balcony which has been in my possession ever since 
 my father's death in 1863. Anne Thackeray Eitehie." 
 
 ORIGINAL DRAWINGS FOR VANITY FAIR 
 
 340. VANITY FAIR. A Collection of Original Drawings, etc., 
 made by Thackeray for ' ' Vanity Pair, ' ' as outlined below. Tipped 
 in sunk mounts, and bound in 4to, full blue levant morocco, red 
 moire silk doublures and flys, by Riviere. 
 
 These Dea wings and Manuscripts consist of: 
 
 Two Original Sketches for "Eebecca's Farewell." The illustrations 
 from the First Edition are inlaid opposite. 
 
 Two Sentences from "Vanity Fair" written in pencil by Thackeray, 
 and a tentative list of subjects for illustrations. 
 
 Pencil Sketches of Napoleon in two different poses. 
 
 Pencil Sketches of Landscapes, on both sides of a leaf, also two figures. 
 
 Pencil Sketches of various figures, one of which represents "Beeky 
 on Her Pillow," and on the back of this sheet is a sketch of "Lady 
 Bareaeres' Carriage." 
 
 These are authenticated by the following note: "These Drawings 
 and MSS. notes were made by my father, and have been in my possession 
 since his death. Anne Thackeray Eitehie."

 drawing, "Becky Sharp." Portrait. For "Vanity Fair."

 Veet pine COPT or the Fiest Edition as oeiginally published. This 
 
 copy lacks pp. 1-8 of the advertisements in front of No. 1, the slip in 
 
 No. 20, and pp. 1 and 2 of the advertisements in the back of No. 24. 
 The advertisements in the back were published on various colored 
 
 papers, and consequently copies of numbers differ in respect to the color 
 
 of the paper. 
 
 A complete collation of this copy may be found in Mr. Van Duzer's 
 
 Bibliography.

 morocco solander case.

 The first publication in book form of ant of Thackeray's works, 
 and notably published in America and not in England. 
 
 The first English Edition of this work alone, was not published until 
 16 years later. The text of this volume begins with p. 13, and it is 
 generally thought that a preface was intended for these pages, but the 
 book was printed with pp. 1-12 lacking.
