A'' 2 PREFACE Few men of letters can have felt so positively certain as Walter Savage Landor thought he himself was of securing the approbation of posterity. Fewer stiU, perhaps, after producing such an immense quantity of prose and verse have left it, at their death, in a state so unlikely either to arouse the interest or to challenge the judgment of coming generations. Of Landor's writings a considerable portion can only be read in volumes of extreme rarity, and there are some things which seem to have vanished beyond recall. Along with much that might be discarded as perishable and not worth preserving, there is enough hidden away in the pages of defunct and little known periodicals to estabUsh at least one reputation for what Dryden called no ignoble verse and another for vigorous and incisive prose. According to his own account, Landor threw more behind the grate than would have bought a fair estate. Only by tedious research is it possible to retrieve from the limbo of back numbers as much and more to which he allowed scarcely a fairer chance of survival. After his death, and when the task would have been comparatively simple, no proper precautions were taken to save from further destruction what was then xiv PREFACE. recoverable. When and in what terms Landor desig- nated John Forster as his literary executor has never been clearly stated. The obligations, however, at- tached to that pious if not lucrative trust were never fulfilled as they ought to have been. Forster did indeed write a biography of his old friend, amplified by the frequent intrusion of his own consequential per- sonality. He likewise brought out what has passed as a collected edition of The Works of Walter Savage Landor (London : 1876), forming with the life, not too carefully revised and unwisely compressed, eight volumes. But he omitted to reprint, often without indicating or justifying the omission, many compositions, long and short, the disappearance of which would have vexed their author beyond endurance. What will be less readily condoned, Forster cast aside prose and verse pronounced by competent critics to be admirable examples of the Landorian manner at its best. But these sins of omission were not the most repre- hensible of Forster's delinquencies as a literary executor and the guardian of Landor 's reputation. Nothing would have conduced so largely and directly to a wider recognition of his place in literature as well chosen excerpts from his writings, whether' published altogether or dispersed in anthologies, golden treasuries, elegant extracts, and similar volumes designed for the general reader's delectation. Forster, however, seems to have thought that no one but himself was capable of pre- PREFACE. XV senting Landor to the reading public. Locker Lampson showed his discernment by putting page after page of Landor's lighter verse into his Lyra Elegantiarum ; whereupon Forster compelled him to withdraw the first edition and bring out another from which Landor's best work was rigorously excluded. It was not that the alleged violation of copyright could inflict any injury on the dead author's kindred. Forster and his publishers were the only parties who could suffer any detriment. As a matter of fact the fine taste and sound judgment displayed by Locker Lampson, in his choice and treatment of a garland of verse gathered from the Landorian pleasance, would in all probability not only have made the author of Gebir known to a good many people who had never heard of him before, but might also have induced more than a few of them to search Forster's ill-compact and clumsily-edited col- lection for further lyrical and fugitive pieces by the same hand. However this may be, these eight volumes remain as a glaring example of the way in which the works of a great writer ought not to be edited. As for the first volume containing the life of Landor, there was nothing unfair in Mrs. Lynn Linton's opinion, that it is a cold, carping and unsympathetic biography. The remaining seven, containing as much of his works as the literary executor thought fit to reprint, were denounced by W. Hale White (in The AthehcBum, December 22nd, xvi PREFACE. 1900) as the worst edited volumes in existence. In no sense do they form a complete or even a reasonably complete edition of the author's works. What is given is thrown together in strange disorder ; patent mis- prints and wrong references are left uncorrected ; a clue is often wanting to the date when a particular poem, conversation, essay, or other production was first printed, or to the alterations afterwards made ; and there is no pretence of explaining obscurities which are certain to perplex a reader. To possess and know nothing but Forster's eight volume edition is to be without adequate means of studying either the life or the works of the man on whose behalf they were supposed to have been sent to the press. Toward the close of the last century Mr. C. G. Crump brought out an edition of Landor's imaginary conversations, followed by two volumes containing some, though by no means all, of his longer prose writings, and by two more in which was printed a selec- tion from his poetry. So far as the prose went, this was a marked improvement on Forster's edition. Textual variations were in most cases indicated; and the notes, bibliographical and critical, would be pretty well all that is needed were there more of the same kind. Mr. Crump also deserves credit for including in his prose volumes several pieces which Forster excluded. But he might easily have done much more in this direction ; while the paucity of his selection from the PHEFACB. xvii poems will alwa}^ be matter for regret. A standard edition, therefore, of the works of Landor, prose and verse, is among the literary labours that have yet to be undertaken. The present bibliography, it is hoped, will facilitate the task ; though it may also show that this will be anything but easy. The mere fact that no national or public library in the United Kingdom contains all or even nearly all Landor's published writings would by itself afford a fair criterion of the obstacles that have to be surmounted. To have given in our bibliography references to the various extant manuscripts from which Landor's works were printed would doubtless have enhanced its utility. But the manuscripts are so numerous, so widely scattered, and, in many cases, so hard to trace, that it seemed hopeless even to attempt the quest. It is none the less desirable that a patient search should be made for sheets in his handwriting, as well as for volumes by him which have corrections and additions in the author's script. Many a debatable passage may continue to baffle the commentator till some such discovery rewards diligence. An instance may be given here, as the missing key to a puzzle was found too late to be noted in the proper place. There are two Latin poems headed Ai Antonium. Neither the titles nor the lines that follow afford a clue to the identity of the person addressed. Only when a volume containing the poems, and anno- tated by Landor, came to light could it be solved. In xviii PREFACE. one case he had altered Antonium to Fantonium. Al- though there is no mention of a Fantoni in the index to Forster's eight volumes there ought to be. The Florentine gentleman who called on Landor at the Palazzo Medici in Florence asked him whether, on alighting at an Italian inn, he had never been welcomed with a sonnet by some local poetaster like Fantoni. This custom of the country is also referred to in High and Low Life in Italy, where " a certain Fantoni, who called himself Labindo," is described as the " father abbot of this order of famehcans." Giovanni Fantoni was a real personage. He died in 1807, and the Fantoni of the Latin poem would seem to have been his nephew. The occasional notes which will be found in the following pages are intended for the most part to solve those enigmas on which neither Landor's text nor his editors have thrown any light. It has been thought unnecessary, however, to expound easily understood allusions. That Mrs. Gaskell wrote Mary Barton (p. 265), and that Horace indited an ode to P3Trrha (p. 276) are facts which will doubtless be known to anyone who consults this bibliography. Some variations in speUing, even in the case of proper names, will be met with. It is seldom possible to determine whether they are due to a printer's com- pliance with, or to his rejection of, Landor's views on orthography. As a general rule, however, the printed PREFACE. xix text has here been followed. This will explain why, for instance, Shakespeare's name on page 317 and else- where, is spelt in more ways than one. Whether in any way this bibliography will make it a less troublesome task to produce a complete edition of Landor's Works remains to be seen. It may, however, answer the more immediate purpose of helping to prevent such inaccuracies as are too frequently to be found in popular reprints of selected pieces. In a little volume edited by Mr. Arthur Symons {The Hellenics and, Gebir, 1907) one reads (p. 124) that the evening star was overheard, when it was only overhead ; and that the sorceress in Gebir complained of her rights, instead of her rites, being divulged (p. 232). The late Sir J. P. Mahaffy {Imaginary Conversations, 1909), venturing on a conjectural emendation which reference to various readings would have shown to be wrong, made LucuUus say that the practice of dining in company did not appeal to him. The words should be "so barbarous a practice does it now appear to me." According to Mr. Ernest Radford's version of a poem it was the ebbing sun, and not the ebbing sea, which beats against the shore ; a solar phenomenon seldom if ever visible. In a collection of Landor's shorter works (Newnes, 1904), youth is described as " the soul equivalent," instead of "the sole equivalent," of youth in matrimony. In a reprint of the Imaginary Conversations (Routledge's Universal Library), the meaning of one passage is spoilt XX PREFACE. by substituting " insincerity " for " sincerity " ; while another is rendered uninteUigible by letting William Penn speak of " conversation or destruction," when it should be " conservation." More disconcerting still are the lapses in A Day Book of Landor (Clarendon Press, 1919). For January 1st the " Dying Speech of an Old Philosopher " is given, and the well-known lines are mangled by infelicitous punctuation, though Forster reproduced in facsimile the poet's manuscript. For December i8th we have Landor's remark about the worth of an old song ; with a fallacious reference, not to the place where it occurs in his works, but to another volume of selections. There, as it happens, a misprinted numeral directs the inquirer to an Imaginary Conversation which does not contain the passage. It really comes from Landor's Essay on Theocritus. A worse blunder must be suffered, gladly or not, on April 15th, when we are told that Rhaicos went to see his Hamadryad daily, " but the nymph as oft invisible," which would strike one as uncivil, to say the least, on her part. Landor said she " was oft in- visible," and proceeded to suggest a reason for her way- wardness. The lines were correctly printed in the Foreign Quarterly Review. In 1846, and again in 1847 and 1859, they were misprinted, and the error has been accepted by one anthologist after another. Yet in a preface to his Day Book the compiler blandly starts with the assertion that Landor has been very fortunate with his editors. PREFACE. xxi But even in books where a scrupulous respect for the printed word might reasonably be asked for, Landor sometimes fares badly. In The English Historical Dictionary he is quoted for his use of the word " sub- sidence," and the quotation is dated 1824. Whoever tries to find it in any work of I^andor's published in that year will be disappointed. The passage was an after- thought, interpolated in a later edition. To Sir Sidney Colvin all who would see Landor placed among great writers must needs be deeply indebted. Nowhere has the right to such a station been more justly upheld than in Sir Sidney's Landor (English Men of Letters Series) and Selections from the Writings of W. S. Landor (Golden Treasury Series). For guidance obtained from those volumes, as well as for other aid, we have often been grateful. To Mr. Walter Brindley Slater particular thanks must be tendered. It is widely known that many years ago Mr. Slater projected the compilation of a Biblio- graphy of the Writings of Landor, and that during an extended period he has devoted himself with energy and discernment to the collection of the necessary material. Had he been enabled to carry his purpose to fulfil- ment the labour of producing the book would not have devolved upon us. But prolonged Ul-health, coupled with the more pressing demands of other avocations, compelled him reluctantly to renounce a literary task. Yet the time and effort he expended in accumulating xxii PREFACE. his unrivalled Landor collection have not been lost. Everything he possessed was placed freely at our dis- posal, and the knowledge he had acquired was always unreservedly imparted. In return for such generous kindness no acknowledgment can be too ample. Our thanks must also be offered to Mrs. Laura Buxton Forman and the Marquess of Crewe. The former lent us the First Editions of no less than three Landor pamphlets preserved in the Library of her husband, the late Harry Buxton Forman, C.B., and not elsewhere obtainable. The Marquess of Crewe permitted the use of the only known example of the 1812 edition of the Commentary on Memoirs of C. J. Fox. An equally cordial expression of gratitude is the right of Mr. Harold Brent Wrenn, of Los Angeles, for the trouble he took in obtaining for us a photograph of the leaflet with Landor's verses to Robert Browning. This interesting and unique memento of the two poets reposes with the other treasures of the late John H. Wrenn's library in the University of Texas. The Portrait of Landor which serves as Frontispiece is reproduced from a photograph taken at Florence by the FrateUi Alinari in 1861. This photograph was given by Landor to Robert Browning. On January 30th, 1861, Landor entered his 87th year. PART I. EDITIONES PRINCIPES, etc. THE POEMS O F WALTER SAVAGE L A N D O R. LONDON: PRINTED FOR T. CADEXL, jun'. AND W.

The published price was Five Shillings. That the book was suppressed is clear from a passage in a letter addressed by Robert Landor to John Forster : " The first of Walter's publications must have appeared almost twenty years ago. A small volume of poems, which was suppressed or withdrawn without any reason as far as I can remember, excepting that he hoped to write better soon. There was nothing among them, I think, discreditable in any way to a man barely twenty years old. But he seems to have wished that they should be forgotten, even before the publication of Gebir two or three years later." Whilst Landor himself wrote : " Before I was twenty years of age I had imprudently sent into the world a volume of which I was soon ashamed. It everywhere met with as much commendation as was proper, and generally more. For, though the structure was feeble, the lines were fluent ; the rhymes showed habitual ease, and the personifications fashionable taste .... / heard them [my heroes] sing with the lips of soft persuasion .... / was then in raptures with what I now despise." — Forster's W.

PACE Latine Scribendi Defensio 201 According to Forster (Landor : A Biography, Vol. i, p. 53), this volume of poems was sent to Landor's friend, Walter Birch, with a letter dated April 12th, 1795. The Invocation to the Muse (p. 121) and the inscription On a Quaker's Tankard (p. 126) were quoted by Forster in Landor : A Biography, Vol. i, p. 61, and were reprinted in Poems, &c., by Landor, edited by C. G. Crump, Vol. ii, p. 166. The Latin verses, Ad Galliam (p. 194), were reprinted, with alterations and additions, in Poetry by the Author of Gebir, 1802, p. 60. With these exceptions none of the contents of Landor's first published volume have ever been reprinted in any shape or form. There is a copy of Poems, 1795, in the Library of the British Museum.

PAGE Moral Epistle. \ITwas when, awaken' d by their just alarms^ 9 The Moral Epistle to Earl Stanhope, according to Forster {Landor : A Biography, Vol. i, p. 69) was issued from the press some weeks before Landor left London for Tenby, and after the publication of his first volume of poems. The author's name, not avowed upon the title page, is disclosed in lines 1 91-194 : Parham ! and Shippon ! If each honor' d name Be not eternally preserv'd by Fame — Lie tranquil in your tombs ; and say "Ye Powers Of Darkness ! It is Landor' s fault not ours." The "honor'd names" are those of George, 17th Lord Willoughby of Parham (ob. 1779) ; and William Shippen (ob. 1743), the "downright Shippen" introduced by Pope into his imitations of Horace. Charles, third Earl Stanhope, to whom the Moral Epistle was dedicated, died on December 15th, 1816. The poem has never been reprinted in any shape or form, and is not included in any edition of Landor's Works.

Regarding its publication Landor himself remarked : "Far from soliciting the attention of those who are passing by, Gebir is confined, I believe, to the shdp of one bookseller, and I never heard that he had even made his appearance at the window." — [Forster's W. S. Landor : A Biography, 1869, Vol. i, P- "^11^ The text of this first edition has been reprinted in The Hellenics and Gebir of Walter Savage Landor, edited by Arthur Symons, 1907, but not without some errors, as in Book V, line 76. Landor found the story of Gebir in The Progress of Romance by Clara Reeve, who had taken it from L'Egypte de Murtadi, translated from the Arabic by Pierre Vattier, Paris : 1663 ; or perhaps she had only seen an English translation of Vattier's book brought out by John Davies of Kidwelly in 1672. Other versions of the legend are given by Ali b. Husayn, called Mas'udi, and in a work translated from the Arabic by Baron Carra de Vaux under the title LAbrigi des Merveilles, Paris: 1898.

Issued in paper boards (which in some cases are drab and in others pink) with untrimmed edges, and with white paper back-label. The Preface to the first edition, 1798, of Gebir having been sent to the printer by mistake, a new one was prepared for the second edition of 1803. The principal variation in the text of the poem occurs in Book vii, where in place of 2^ lines (//. 14-16) of the earlier version twenty lines (//. 14-33 of the new version) were substituted. There were in addition other smaller changes, the net result being an expansion of the poem from 1,844 to 1,881 lines. In 1831 the number was reduced to 1,733. Also in 1803, a Latin translation of Gebir was published at Oxford. This is a foolscap octavo volume, with the following title-page : Gebirus, \ Poema. / Scripsit / Savagius Landor. \ Oxonii : / Excudunt R. Slatter et J.

The collation is pp. xix +143 + 3 leaf with Notes and a List of Errata. Between the imprint and date upon the title-page is a short ' French rule.' Some examples of the book are undated, both date and rule being absent from the title-page. These undated copies are also without the supplementary leaf carrying Notes and Errata, and therefore presumably represent the earlier of the two issues. A copy of the book in the possession of Mr. W. B. Slater has the following MS. note upon the reverse of the half-title : In 1803, at Christ Church Oxford, I had £,2. a sheet for correcting this Latin Edition of Gebir, provided it came out absolutely without error. The wags for that term called me Mister Prelector Gebiri. J. F. M. D\ovaston\. Dr. Samuel Parr's copy of Gebirus has also been preserved. He has written his own name on the title-page and, on a fly-leaf, " The work of a scholar and a poet." This copy, doubtless given to Dr. Parr by the author, contains manuscript corrections in Landor's handwriting. It was at one time in Mr. Henry B. H. Beaufoy's possession. The volume was issued in drab paper boards, with white paper back-label. Its contents were reprinted, but with considerable variations in the text, in Poemata et Inscriptiones, 1847.

None of the remaining verses have ever been reprinted in any shape or form. Iambi was one of the slender booklets, the remainder of which appear at present to be completely lost, although mention of them is made by Forster. Robert Landor, whom Forster quotes, wrote (Latidor : A Biography, Vol. i, p. 183) : " Even the first edition of ' Gebir ' was followed speedily by little unbound publications, of which I cannot remember correctly either the order or the titles. ' The Phocceans,' the commencement of an epic poem, various Latin verses and English verses filling no more than a few pages, a little volume of Icelandic poems suggested by Mr. Herbert's success, but nothing in prose that I can remember before the first two volumes of his ^Imaginary Conversations' except a few pages on Primitive Sacrifices. I often tried to dissuade him from such diminutive works, or rather scraps, as betraying too much impatience, and as excusing the public neglect. They were read by a few personal friends only, and only o?ie of them was noticed in a Review." POEMS FROM THE ARABIC and PERSIAN; WITH NOTES THE AUTHOR OF GEBIR. Mafi<9-i«-«ac»- PRINTED BY H.

Robert Landor's memory was evidently none too clear, and the recollections to which he committed himself were consequently somewhat nebulous and uncertain. When speaking of TAe Phocaans he no doubt had in his mind two fragments of an epic in Foetry by the Author of Gebir, while by the " little volume of Icelandic Verse " he may have meant Simonidea, in which was included Gunlaug and Helga. There is at present no copy of Iambi, 1800, in the Library of the British Museum.

They have not reappeared elsewhere. In a Preface to the so-called Poems from the Arabic and Persian, and likewise in the Notes, Landor represented them as his own rendering of what purported to be a French translation of the originals. In April, 1836, he told Crabb Robinson that the poems were written by himself " in imitation of the Persian and Arabic." When they were reprinted in 1858 he said they were "pretended" as poems from the Arabic and Persian. Lastly there is the following manuscript note in a copy of the first edition given by Landor to Browning in Italy : "/ wrote these poems after reading what had been translated from the Arabic dr- Persian by Sir lV[illiam] /ones and Dr. Nott." The first four poems profess to be from the Persian. The rest, Landor said in 1800, were from the Arabic, the fifth, sixth. i8 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. seventh, and eighth being composed originally by the son of Sheik Daher. Ahmad Tahir (or Dhahir), governor of Damascus, was put to death by Jezzar Pasha in 1775, and Landor may have read in Volney's Travels, which he quotes in a note, that Othman, Tahir's son and a poet, was sent to Constantinople. According to E. J. W. Gibb {History of Ottoman Poetry) two of Tahir's sons, Fazil Beg and Kamil Beg, were taken to the capital after their father's death and became noted as poets. The last of the Arabic poems is addressed to Rahdi. Landor suggested in a note that this personage might be "Rahdi, the twentieth of the Abassides,'' who would be more correctly designated as the Khalifa! Radhi Billah {pb. A.D. 940). Landor was also doubtful as to the Abu-Said whose praises are sung in the fourth Persian poem. This, however, can only refer to Sultan Abu Sa'id Mirza, the Emperor Babar's grandfather, who was a friend and patron of poets ; among them being Jami, whose Salaman and Absal was translated by Edward FitzGerald. Unless he had read about Sultan Abu Sa'id in D'Herbelot — in which case he would have known a great deal about him — it is diflScult to understand how Landor could have "invented" this poem.

The signatures are A to H (eight half-sheets, each 4 leaves), the whole preceded by an unsigned quarter-sheet of two leaves, carrying the Title-page and Advertisement to the Story of Crysaor, &c. P. iv is misnumbered ii. The book was issued without any half-title. Issued in plain grey-blue paper wrappers, lined with white, without either lettering or label. The leaves, which are quite untrimmed, measure 7x1 x S inches. Some examples of Poetry by the Author of Gebir are without the printer's imprint at the foot of p. 64. There can be no doubt that these are the latest copies to be made up for sale, and are actually of the nature of " remainders." The typography of the imprint itself affords some small but pertinent evidence of this. The imprint as it appears upon the reverse of the title-page is well and properly printed, having been placed in the position it occupies when the book was originally put into type. But the imprint as it appears at the foot of p. 64 is roughly and unevenly printed, and was evidently added to the page by means of a hand- stamp after Signature H had been worked off. In no two copies of the book is the appearance of this latter imprint absolutely identical. The types employed for it were apparently set some- what loosely in the frame by means of which they were applied c 2 20 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. to the page ; hence the letters shifted slightly, and did not at all times occupy the same relative positions to each other. The reason for this manipulation is clear. When the sheets were originally printed in 1800, as described below, the second imprint fell at the foot of the last page, p. in. But when all the text after p. 64 was deleted, this imprint went with it, and the published book of 1802 concluded with p. 64, where no imprint stood. The omission was rectified in the manner stated above. The reason why the copies which have the imprint at the foot of p. 64 may be regarded as having been made-up at an earlier date than those in which the imprint is lacking is this. Three examples of the book in original wrappers have recently been examined, to each of these the imprint had been added. But no copy in original state in which the imprint was absent has been seen. Also in no example met with of the book without the added imprint was there any trace observable of the holes made by the " stabbing " by means of which the sheets as issued in wrappers were bound together. Evidently after the energy aroused by the necessity of adding the imprint had expended itself the matter was over- looked, and the bulk of the stock remaining in sheets ultimately drifted into circulation without the addition of the hand-stamped imprint. A similar instance of neglect is afforded by Swinburne's Poems and Ballads of 1866. In this case several leaves were reprinted, and duly inserted as cancels in the earliest copies of the book. But copies made up from quires at a later date were permitted to go out with the offending pages in their original uncancelled condition. Contents.

Poeiry by the Author of Gebir was originally put into type, and the sheets printed off, in 1800, two years before the volume as finally completed was permitted to appear.

As made up in 1800 the book extended to one hundred and eleven pages of text, the first sixty-four of which were identical with the sixty-four which formed the published volume of 1802. The remaining forty-seven cancelled pages carry the following : Contents.

[Blest idiot I with thy vicarage and thy wife,] . . 74 Post-script to Gebir 75-107 Notes upon Errata for Gebir, &c. . . . 108-111 After the printing of the volume had been completed, Landor decided upon cancelling the concluding forty-seven pages, and EDITIONES PRINCIPES, ETC. 23 the book, with its title-page suitably amended, was finally pub- lished in 1802 in the form with which we are familiar, and which has been fully described above. The Postscript to Gebir was doubtless removed by Landor to spare the feeling of his friend Isaac Mocatta, to whom, as the following letter shows, it had given " much pain " : St. Thomas's Square, Hackney, December ^th, 1800. Dear Landor, I cannot a moment delay to express how kindly I take your resolution of suppressing the Postscript to Gebir which gave me so much pain. In so doing you have paid me a compliment jvhich J know how to value. Since my last, I have given your work a perusal which I do not intend shall be the last ; for, like a scientific piece of music, it will probably gain by repetition. It appears to me, however, more likely to please highly some few than to be generally tasted .... Adieu, yours. Is. Mocatta. Soon after this letter was penned Isaac Mocatta died. His death was announced to Landor in July, 1801. The Postscript itself was, in the main, a reply to a review of Gebir which appeared in The Monthly Review, 1800, Vol. xxxi, p. 206. Hence the abortive volume — or at all events the latter portion of it — must have been given to the press at some period sub- sequent to the appearance of this review, but anterior to December, 1800, when Mocatta addressed to Landor the above letter thanking him for the suppression of the Postscript. The reason for the suppression of the remaining items included in the forty-seven pages is less easy to explain. Certainly by 1802 the circumstances which provoked the Address to the Fellows of Trinity College had fallen into the background, and the Address itself would have missed its point and have failed to 24 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. interest. In addition to this inducement, Forster (who quotes in a footnote eight lines from the lampoon) tells us that it was " suppressed at the entreaty of Birch," i.e., Walter Birch, Landor's Rugby friend. As for the remainder, the inclusion of the whole series was quite possibly an afterthought upon the part of their author, and it appears highly probable that Landor had in the first instance planned his volume to close with its sixty-fourth page as it was ultimately its fate to do. One reason for adopting this suggestion is that upon p. 65 Landor placed a new Prefatory Note, which certainly had not been written when the original Preface passed into type. In this Note he wrote : " Jvr the entertainment of those gentle readers, on whose account and for whose use I have principally written the Post-script, I add also some poems, in great part of a satirical nature, as more accordant to their spirit and more accommodated to their under- standing. They are of a lighter kind than the others, with which it will be prudent not to concern themselves, and are entirely devoted to their service." Two sets of the forty-seven suppressed pages of Poetry by the Author of Gebir are preserved in the Forster Library at South Kensington. One of them (Catalogue number 5059) is bound up with a_ copy of the First Edition of Gebir, the latter being heavily corrected throughout in Landor's handwriting. The second set (Catalogue number 5080), which includes in addition to the forty-seven pages of text an example of the original Title- page and Preface, is bound up with a complete copy of Poetry by the Author of Gebir. The title in question is that of which a transcript has been given above. The Preface, pp. iii-iv, is identical with that which introduced the published volume of 1802. But in 1800 it was followed by no list of Errata, and its eight concluding lines fall upon p. iv. In 1802, when the Errata list was introduced, four of these lines were shifted back to the preceding page in order to make room for it. That the whole volume of iii pages was not merely set up in type but was actually printed off is shown by a passage SIMONIDEA.

ETC. 25 in the second (ultimately cancelled) Prefatory Note referred to above. In this passage Landor, speaking in the third person, says : " Though the copies have long been printed off, he determined that they should not be given to the world until he had solved that question in particular which relates to the second quotation from Montaigne" &'c. Whilst waiting to "solve that question" Landor deferred to the wishes of Birch and Mocatta ; he withdrew the Postscript to Gebir, and refrained from " entertaining his gentle readers " with the " poems, in great part of a satirical nature." « In January, 19 17, the Address to the Fellows of Trinity was printed alone as a private pamphlet.

SiMONIDEA : p^GE I. \Again, my Soul, sustain the mournful page /] .11 An elegy on a lady whose husband had succeeded to Dr. Landor's medical practice at Warwick. The Gentleman's Magazine, 1804, i, 191, recorded the death on February %th, of Elizabeth, fourth child of Dr. [William] Lambe, and on February 2isi, of Mrs. Lambe, "a victim to her maternal solicitude." The Italian verses prefixed to this poem are from Petrarch, Sonetto, 292. EDITWNES PRINCIPES. ETC. 27 PAGE II. [AA what avails the sceptred race,] . -14 The Hon.

I printed whatever was marked with a pencil by a woman who loved me, and I consulted all her caprices." [Forster's Landor ; A Biography, Vol. i, p. 256.] In an earlier letter (November, 1808) to Southey, Landor had intimated that he loved a woman who never loved him, and that he was beloved by one "who never ought." Whether either of the two was lanthe, and whether the same one, or the other, was the lady with the pencil, are problems that defy solution ; but there are grounds for rejecting the assumption that it was lanthe who selected the contents of Simonidea. * Referring to his English, not his Latin, poems. EDITIONES PRINCIPES. ETC. 29 Of the English poems printed in this volume, Nos. v and xvi and a portion of No. viii have never been reprinted. All the Latin poems were reprinted, but with some variations of text, in Poemata et Inscrtftiones, 1847. In Forster's Landor : A Biography, 1869, i, p. 191, it is stated that " in verses that have not survived, Landor had given expression to his confidence in that hero [Nelson] ; and almost simultaneously with the news of Trafalgar the poem reached his friend, Walter Birch." Sir Sidney Colvin, in his volume on Landor (p. 39) accepted Forster's statement, and regretted the loss. But the verses, which are in Latin, are in Simonidea, 1806, p. 73 ; and there is an amended version in Poemata et Inscriptiones, 1847, p. 216. The poem, in the form sent to Birch, was printed in The Atheneeum, June 22nd, 1907, with introductory remarks by the Rev. E. H. R. Tatham, who described the verses as "never before published." The Simonidea version, however, only differs from the one given by Canon Tatham in so far that it contains some additional stanzas. Canon Tatham also described as unpublished (i) eight lines of Latin verse on the French, and (2) an epitaph on C. J. Fox. Five lines of the eight on the French are in Poemata, 1847, ?• 189 ; and the epitaph on Fox is there on p. 142. This epitaph had also been reprinted in Landor's Idyllia, 1820, p. 143, and was quoted in full by Lord Houghton in The Edinburgh Review. Lastly, Canon Tatham spoke of an epitaph on the second Lord Chatham which, he said, was scarcely worthy of publication, and he therefore refrained from sending it to Th Atheneeum. But the epitaph had been printed by Landor in Imagittary Conversations, 1824, ii, p. 92, and in Poemata et Inscriptiones, 1847, p. 240.

PAGE The Dun Cow. \He,who, — unwarn'dofdysentety,]. . 11 Landor is named as the author of The Dun Cow in Bibliotheca Parriana, A catalogue of the library of the late Reverend and learned Samuel Parr, LL.D. London : 1827, p. 642. The poem EDITION ES PRINCIPES, ETC. 31 is an indignant retort to an attack on Dr. Farr, and others, in Guy's Porridge Pot, a poem, London : 1808. This latter lampoon is sometimes attributed to Landor ; but even without Forster's explicit statement that it was not written by him, the supposition that he composed and published a coarse satire on an intimate friend, whom he held in the highest esteem, would be palpably absurd. Replying, on June 21st, 1808, to Landor's disavowal of the authorship of Guy's Porridge Pot, Dr. Parr wrote : "My excellent and dear friend, how could you give yourself the trouble of defending yourself to me against a Warwick rumour ; or for one moment suppose me so completely sottish as to believe such an imputation againt Walter Landor." [Forster's Landor: A Biography, 1869, Vol. i, p. 320, n.] Writing to Southey on January 2^rd, 1815, Landor said : "Parr believed me instantly." [/A p. 416.] That Landor, therefore, did not write Guy's Porridge Pot is beyond dispute ; but, so far, the only positive evidence that he wrote The Dun Cow in reply to it is the entry in Bibliotheca Parriana. Since, however, this entry was probably based, like other data of the same kind in the catalogue, on a note in the Doctor's autograph, while in matter and style the poem bears strong traces of Landor's hand, there are good grounds for including it among his works. It elicited from Dr. Parr's anonymous assailant a rejoinder bearing the following title : The Warwickshire Talents, alias Guy's Porridge Pot, with The Dun Cow Roasted whole. An epic poem. Second edition. London : printed for the author, i8og. This was followed by a reprint, or re-issue, entitled : Gu;^s Porridge Pot ; with The Dun Cow Roasted whole : an epic Poem in twenty five books.

Landor joined Blake's army as a volunteer about the end of August, 1808. The account given by Forster of his Spanish adventure is confused and in at least one particular altogether misleading. He says that Landor returned to England just about the time when the country got news of the Cintra Convention. As will be 34 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S.

The whole edition was wasted, with the exception of this copy, which the author gave to Mr. Southey. Rich"^- M. Milnes. That other copies of the book were put into circulation under the amended title Observations on Trotter's Life of Fox, is suggested by a note printed by Forster (Walter Savage Landor : A Biography, 1869, Vol. 1, p. 359), but no example of such an issue is at present forthcoming. A considerable amount of correspondence passed between Landor and Southey upon the subject of this book, fairly long extracts from which are printed by Forster. 38 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. On February \oth, 1812, Southey wrote : About an hour ago came a parcel to me from Murray, containing among other things an unfinished commentary upon Trotter's book. Aut Landor, aut Diabolus. From the manner, from the force, from the vehemence, I concluded it must be yours, even before I fell upon the passage respecting Spain which proves that it was yours. I could not lie down this night with an easy conscience if I did not beseech you to suspend the publication till you have cancelled some passages : that attack upon Fellowes might bring you into a court of justice ; and there are some others which would have the more painful effect of making you regret that you had written them. . . . Tomorrow I will point out every passage which is likely to inflict ■undeserved pain upon others, and therefore recoil upon yourself It would grieve me to have the book supprest, or to have it appear as it is. It is yours and yours all over. To which Landor replied on February i^th, 181 2 ; I will do precisely as you recommend and request you particularly to mention such other passages as should be cancelled. . . . After all, who will read anything I write ? One enemy, an adept in bookery and reviewship, can without talents and without industry suppress in a great degree all my labours, as easily as a mischievous bey could crush with a roller a whole bed of crocuses. Again Southey wrote on February list, 1812 : / have re-read and re-re-read the Commentary. The dedication and the postscript are so full of perilous matter that it will be difficult to weed them clean. And there is this objection to both, that they, far more than the Commentary itself, tend to produce that state of feeling which such wretches as Cobbett are continually labouring to excite and inflame for the worst purposes. . . . Your prose is as much your own as your poetry. There is a life and vigour in it to which I know no parallel. It has the poignancy of champagne, and the body of English October. EDITIONES PRINCIPES.

ETC. 41 copy of the composite volume Offerings to Buonaparte described below. The leaves of this copy measure 8J x 5I inches. It has been bound in red levant morocco, by Riviere, and is now in the library of Mr. T. J. Wise. In addition to the complete, and as such presumably unique, example mentioned above, there exists a second copy of the Letters, wanting three leaves, but of extreme interest and importance. This copy was Landor's own, and was employed by him for the preparation of a new and extensively revised edition, for which this book was apparently intended to serve as printer's 'copy.' Accordingly the title-page and last leaf were removed, the final line on p. 98 was deleted, and the text marked to conclude with the paragraph which ends on p. 98. Landor also cut out the leaf carrying pp. 9 and 10, marked p. II for deletion, and wrote at the foot of p. 8 "Omit all on pages p, to, and ii." In addition every page, without a single exception, is corrected more or less heavily in Landor's handwriting. In the majority of cases these corrections are in ink, but a few of the added passages are in pencil. This attractive copy of the Letters is also in Mr. Wise's Landor collection. It is in the original 'stabbed' condition, and the leaves, which are entirely untrimmed, measure 8J x 5^ inches. At what period these alterations to the text of the Letters were made can only be conjectured, but it is probable that they were produced immediately upon the appearance of the pamphlet in 1814, whilst the subject was alive in Landor's mind. If this conjecture be a correct one the excessive rarity of the book is accounted for. No doubt Landor withdrew it from circulation and scrapped the entire issue, proposing to replace it immediately with a new and revised edition — an edition which never saw the light. These open Letters to Lord Liverpool were addressed to, but were not printed by, the editor of The Courier. They were accordingly published in book form, as described above. The 42 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LAN DOR. pamphlet was advertised in Tke Courier on December iTth, 1813, and reviewed in the same newspaper on January 12th, 1814, when it was stated that the Letters of Calvus " were originally sent to TAe Courier for insertion, and were only delayed by the pressure of parliamentary and foreign intelligence." Letter XIV is dated December 20th, 1813, and was written, therefore, a few days after the appearance of the advertisement. Probably it was never sent to The Courier ; but some if not all of the preceding letters were sent, though they had not been inserted. The Courier, however, after the publication of the fourteen letters in pamphlet form, printed further letters signed "Calvus" on January i^th and April 21s f, 1814. In the same year, 18 14, copies of the pamphlet were included in a made up volume composed of various tracts upon the same subject, with a collective title-page reading : Offerings j to j Buonaparte. \ London : j Printed for Henry Colburn. j Public Library, Conduit- Street, Hanover -Square, j And sold by George Goldie, Edinburgh, j and John Cumming, Dublin. / 1814. The Offerings to Buonaparte is also a rare volume. No complete copy is now known to exist, and it may possibly have never been put into actual circulation. The only example yet unearthed was broken up in order that the presumably unique copy of Landor's pamphlet might be removed from it, and bound separately, as noted above. Some extracts from the Letters to Lord Liverpool were printed in The Times Literary Supplement, December 12th, 1918, with remarks on the position of affairs at the time when they were penned. It is stated : "^ dozen of these letters were written a few weeks after tlie battle of Leipzig (October 16-IQ, 1^813), and a few days after the House of Commons had unanimously passed a vote of thanks to Wellington for ' tlie consummate ability and active exertions EDITIONES PRINCIPES. ETC. 43 displayed by him in the battle of the Pyrenees.^ Two more were written towards the close of the year, and the remaining two [not included in the volume] in January and April, 1814. On December 2p, 1813, ' The Courier' hearing that Lord Castlereagh was c^out to start for the Continent, wished success to his mission, providing that its object was to stimulate our allies to the mast vigorous efforts and to expose to them the peril and impolicy of any peace with Bonaparte on the basis of confirming him to a larger extent of territory than France ever enjoyed under her kings. .... The general sentiment of the nation, ' The Times ' affirmed, was opposed to a pecue with Bonaparte. ' Do you' it asked its readers, ' can you, expect pecue with one to whom you know the spirit of peace to be so totally alien and abhorrent 1 ' ' The Morning Post,' on the other hand, vituperated ' The Times ' and • Courier ' as existing only on the misery and quarrels of mankind." There is at present no copy of the First Edition of Letters Addressed to Lord Liverpool in the Library of the British Museum, neither does the Museum yet possess a copy of Offerings to Buonaparte. (16) [Letter to Mr. Jervis : 1814] Letter / from /Mr. Landor to Mr, Jervis. Collation :— Quarto, pp. 2. There is no title-page proper, the title, as above, occupying the upper portion of the first page after the manner of a ' dropped head.' There is no imprint. The brochure consists of a single half-sheet of foolscap paper, with the letter- press, set in double columns, upon both sides. There is no head -line, but the second page is numbered 2 in Arabic numerals. 44 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. The only known copy of this interesting brochure is preserved in the Forster Library at South Kensington, and measures 8tV ^ 7-nr inches. It is inlaid in a leaf of an album devoted mainly to MSS. [Forster MSS., Vol. II] and has been closely trimmed at foot ; hence when originally issued the dimensions were probably somewhat larger than those given above. Its general appearance suggests that Landor had sent the Letter to some local journal, and had then got the editor to furnish him with some separate pulls in this form. The Letter relates to Lander's disputes with his tenants at Llan- thony and their relatives, and is dated "Bath, May loth, 1814." Forster, who quotes a few passages from Landor's Letter, states that Mr. Jervis, to whom it was addressed, was counsel for Mr. Frederick Betham, a brother of Landor's tenant at Lanthony, in an action against Landor for libel, and that he afterwards became Chief Justice. {Landor: A Biography, 1867, i, .401.) He cannot have been Sir John Jervis, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, who was twelve years old in 1814 ; but Mr. Thomas Jervis {ob. 1838), Sir John's father, who was the last Chief Justice of Chester before the abolition of that office, may have appeared for the prosecution. Mr. Charles Betham replied to Landor's letter, and a long extract from his rejoinder is given in A House of Letters, Ssfc, edited by Ernest Betham, London : Jarrold and Sons (1905), pp. 266-276.

Hendecasyllabi. \0 suspiria, pectoris fenates^. . .181 Miie, — Each poem, where not otherwise stated, appeared for the first time in this volume. The first five Idylls (Cory thus, Dry ope. Pan et Pitys, Coresus et Callirho'i, and Helena ad Pudoris Ara) were reprinted in Idyllia Heroica, 1820. The text of each was revised, and the title of Helena ad Pudoris Aram was amended to Pudoris Ara ; whilst, with the exception of Ad Morceum, Ad Tauntonem Causidicum, and De Ludovico et Fernando, all the pieces in the volume were reprinted, with some alterations, in Poemata et Inscriptiones, 1847. The Idyllia Nova Quinque, &c., of 1815 is an extremely rare book. Until 1864 it was entirely unknown to bibliographers, although a copy had apparently been sent to Robert Southey, and there is a mutilated copy in the Forster Collection at South Kensington. It is a curious fact that two of the only three complete examples yet recovered should have been unearthed by Algernon Swinburne. On June igtA, 1864, Swinburne wrote to John Nichol* : 'Marly Letters from Algernon Charles Swinburne to John Nichol, Lotidon : Printed for Private Circulation, igij, pp. zo-zt. EDITIONES PRINCIPES. ETC. 49 " I picked up a day or two since a book of Landor's, printed at Oxford in 1813, of which I can find no trace elsewhere. Landor himself has doubtless forgotten its existence, and to appeal to him for news of it would be frivolous and vexatious. The title is ^Idyllia Nova Quinque Heroum atque Heroidum,' etc., the 'etc' being mainly satirical and political. It is dedicated, in an admir- able 'copy of Latin prose, to Dr. Parr — of all men on earth ; very reverent to him, exquisitely virulent towards others — dead and rotten enemies of the other, altogether as beautiful a little book as I have ever seen, more delicately got up than any later edition. Most, but not all, of the poems have been reprinted — with very curious and interesting alterations. Now, I can find nowhere any chance notice or stray reference bearing on this book, much of which though classical in form evidently deals with private (and presumably libellous) matters. The British Museum has no copy. No catalogue of books that has been printed takes any account of this o?te. I thought as a heredi- tary admirer of Landor you might (through your father's collection of books or otherwise) know something of this strange little waif of Latin verse ; if not, I thought it would not be uninteresting to you to hear of its existence. Ever yours sincerely, A. C. Swinburne." Again in September, 1864, Swinburne wrote : " You don't tell me if you know anything of my priceless early Landor's Poemata.'' At a later date Swinburne had the good fortune to light upon a second copy of Landor's Idyllia, 18 15. This he presented to Dr. Jowett, as mentioned in a letter addressed by him to Mr. T. J. Wise on May 2nd, 1888 : " When you come — as I trust you will on Monday — remind me to shew you the first book (in boards) and the first pamphlet {in 50 BIBLIGORAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. sheets) printed or published by Landor in 179S >' '^^'^ ^^ ^^^^^^ volume of his Latin Idyls printed at Oxford, of which the existence has been disbelieved — nay, denied, I think — even by his biographers^ I have picked up two copies, and one of them I gave to the Master of Balliol. But I have not the first and inaccurate edition of ' Gebir,' Ijg8 — only the revised one of 1800, with the misprints corrected. It is curious — in 1888 — to think that in 1864 I have sat and talked with the Author / " * But Swinburne, when he wrote thjs third letter, had over- looked two references to the book in Forster's Biography, 1869, Vol. i, pp. 395 and 415-416. Writing to Southey, after October, 18 1 3, Landor said : " Valpy the printer, the greatest of all coxcombs, very much wished to print my Latin poems ; but I have an intention to print them at Oxford, under the title '■ Idyllia Heroum atque Ileroidum,' in a size like the sixpenny books for children. It will cost me £,3S- • • ■ I have published nothing that will bear a momenfs comparison with ' Cory thus.' " This was dated from Llanthony. Writing from Tours on January 23rd, 1815, Landor said : " You will receive my Latin poems in about a fortnight. I took extreme care, as I fancied, to correct the press ; yet I discover, in a copy just now sent me, some odious and most stupid misprints. I cannot help thinking that the fellow has employed a blockhead to correct the press after me for the sake of greater security. Happily they are of such a nature that the most malevolent cannot attribute them to me ... I have dedicated the volume to Parr, in a very short dedication : that is, about four pages of 14 or 16 lines each." There is at present no copy of the First Edition of Idyllia Nova Quinque, 181 5, in the Library of the British Museum. * Letters from Algernon Charles Swinburne to T. J.

The reverse of p. loi is blank. There are headlines throughout, each verso being headed " Antony and Octavius. [Scene," and each recto "/*] Scenes for the Study ." At the foot of p. 10 1 the imprint is repeated thus, "Bradbury and Evans, Printers, Whitefriars."

Williams, / Circulating Library and News Agent, / 42, Milsom Street, / and all Booksellers. Collation : — Large duodecimo, pp. 24 ; consisting of : Title-page, as above (with imprint " Bath : j Printed by Hayward and Payne, Express Office, / Green Street" upon the centre of the reverse), pp. i — 2 ; and Text of the Letter, pp. 3 — 23. The reverse of p. 23 is blank. There are no head-lines, the pages being numbered centrally in Arabic numerals. Pages 3 and 9 are each registered B 3 at foot, otherwise there are no signatures. The pamphlet, which was issued without a half-title, consists of a single sheet folded to form twenty-four pages. Issued stitched, and without wrappers. The leaves, which were untrimmed, measure 7| x 4I inches. No date appears anywhere in the pamphlet ; but incidental allusions, noticed below, show that it was printed in 1856. Lander's Letter to Emerson has not yet been included in any edition of its Author's works, although an extract from it was preserved by Forster. In 1895 the pamphlet was reproduced by the Rowfant Club, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. The Letter was also reprinted in Literary Anecdotes of the Nineteenth Century, Vol. ii, 1896, pp. 194-216. The Rowfant Club edition was a small octavo of eighty-three pages, of which one hundred and eight copies only were produced. i6o BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. On May 15th, 1833, Emerson dined with Landor at his Fiesulan villa, and two days later breakfasted there. In 1841, writing in an American periodical, he warmly praised the Imaginary Conversations and their author. In English Traits, published at Boston, and in London (by Routledge), in 1856, Emerson gave a brief account of his visit to Landor. This elicited the above open Letter, which must have been written, or at any rate finished, soon after August zph, 1856, since there are in it allusions to a letter from General Kmety (Ismail Pasha) printed in The Times of August i6th, to a paragraph in The Athenmum of August 2yd, and to a letter from Colonel Tiirr in The Morning Advertiser of August I'jth. The Athemeum reviewed Landor's Letter on November 29M. In his pamphlet Landor declared that he had read English Traits with great pleasure ; but he seems to have been nettled at Emerson's omission to express boundless admiration for his collection of pictures, and for Southey's poetry, as well as at the repetition by his American guest of a remark by Carlyle. Landor's letter to Emerson was nominally "published" by a local newsagent at Bath. The pamphlet, though not a rarity, is by no means common, and only occurs at increasingly lengthened intervals. A reduced facsimile of the title-page is given herewith. Inserted in the Letter from W. S. Landor to R. W. Emerson is the following quatrain : PAGE [ Ye who have lungs to mount the Mus^s hill,'\ . . .12 Written, Landor says, on a fly-leaf in Sir Walter Scott's poems. There is a copy of the First Edition of a Letter from W. S. Landor to Ji, IV. Emerson in the Library of the British Museum. The Press-mark is 11840. b. 27. (4).

There is no title-page proper, the title, as above, being imposed upon the upper portion of the first page after the manner of a ' dropped head.' The whole of the sixteen pages are occupied by the text, and there is no printer's imprint. There are no head-lines, the pages being numbered centrally in Arabic numerals. There are no signatures ; the pamphlet is composed of a single sheet folded to form 16 pages. Issued stitched, and without wrappers. The leaves, which were trimmed, measure 7 x 4J inches. This and another pamphlet (see Nos. 48 and 49), were the first notable outcome of Landor's quarrel with his former friends, the Rev. Morris and Mrs. Yescombe. The lady was known in Bath as the Hon. Mrs. Yescombe, her first husband — who died in 1835 — having been the younger son of the third Baron Massy. Walter Savage Landor and the Honourable Mrs. Yescombe was printed and circulated shortly before June \2th, 1857. On that date a solicitor, instructed by the Rev. M. Yescombe and his wife, wrote to Landor threatening him with legal proceedings, unless he withdrew and publicly apologised for accusations against Mrs. Yescombe of which the pamphlet was mainly composed. Instead of replying to the lawyer's letter, Landor had another pamphlet printed. [See/oj/, No. 48.] There is at present no copy of the First Edition of Walter Savage Landor and the Honourable Mrs. Yescombe in the Library of the British Museum. M 162 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR.

There is no title- page proper, the title Mr. Landor Threatened being imposed upon the upper portion of the first page, after the manner of a ' dropped head.' The text occupies the whole of pp. i — 12, with the imprint at the foot of p. 12. Pages 13 — 14 are supplied by a supplementary leaf, carrying five additional para- graphs of text. There are no head-lines, the pages being numbered centrally in Arabic numerals. There are no signatures ; the pamphlet is composed of a single half-sheet folded to form 12 pages, plus one additional leaf carrying the supplementary paragraphs. Issued stitched, and without wrappers. The leaves, which were trimmed, measure 6| x 4^^ inches. The first edition of Mr. Landor Threatened was printed and circulated on or shortly aiter /utie 2$rd, 1857. In it Landor, before quoting the lawyer's letter referred to above [anfe, No. 47], remarked that "it would be unlawful to order a chairman to cudgel the fellow for his insolence." Either before or immediately after a second edition of the pamphlet had been issued the Yescombes, through their solicitor,' instituted an action for libel ; but on this occasion Landor was persuaded by Forster to sign a written apology and give an undertaking " not to repeat anything EDITION ES PRINCIPES, ETC. 163 of the kind again." The parties whom he had attacked then consented to stay proceedings. After the publication, however, of Z>ry Sticks Fagoted (dated 1858 but actually published on December igtA, 1857), they felt compelled to take further action. [See post, No. 51.] There is at present no copy of the First Edition of Mr. Landor Threatened in the Library of the British Museum.

As in the First Edition, the title is imposed at the head of p. i, whilst the imprint occurs at the foot of the last page. Issued stitched, without wrappers, and with trimmed edges. For this edition of the pamphlet the text was reset throughout, and was more lightly leaded in order that the whole might be compressed within twelve pages. The five additional paragraphs (commencing "On this day, Sunday^' etc.) for which in the First Edition the supplementary leaf had been provided, here appeared on pdges II and 12. Both editions were signed and dated " W. S. Landor. June z^rd, 1857." There is at present no copy of the Second Edition of Mr. Landor Threatened in the Library of the British Museum.

There are no head- lines, but the pages are numbered centrally in Arabic numerals. There are no signatures, the pamphlet (which was issued without a half-title) being composed of a single half-sheet folded to form eight pages. Issued stitched, and without wrappers. The pamphlet is one of the many pieces to be met with in Landor Biblio- graphy which are so extremely rare as to be practically impossible of acquisition. No copy in its issued state is at present available, though one was formerly in the possession of Algernon Swinburne. This, the latter 190 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S.

Mr. Wise possesses the finally-corrected proof, and this (which is printed upon thin blue-tinted paper, with untrimmed edges) measures 8A x S inches. A greatly reduced facsimile of the title-page is given herewith. As will be seen from a glance at this facsimile the publishers' imprint is in the form of a stereotyped device. But, doubtless as an act of precaution, this device was removed before publication, and the pamphlet appeared without an imprint. At Bristol Assizes (not at Taunton as incorrectly stated upon the title-page), on August 2$rd, 1858, before Mr. Baron Channel! and a jury, Landor was sued by the Rev. Morris Yescombe and his wife on three counts for libel, and on another for breach of agreement. The defendant did not appear in person, having on Jufy 15M left the country.. The case was reported in T/te Times of August 24fA, and in TAe Bristol Gazette of August 26M, 1858. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiffs, awarding damages ; ;£7So for the three libels, and £ii

An enthusiastic little word of grand-daughterly gratitude was added from the truant girl herself." [A. C. Swinburne to Sir Sidney Colvin, June ist, 1881.] There is at present no copy of the First Edition of Mr. Landor's Remarks, &c., 1859, in the Library of the British Museum. 192 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. (52) [Savonarola : 1 860] Savonarola / E / II Priore di San Marco. Collation : — Demy octavo, pp. 7 ; consisting of : Title- page, as above (with a signed Prefatory Note, dated "7 September i860" upon the centre of the reverse), pp. I — 2 ; and Text, pp. 3 — 7. There are no head- lines, the pages being numbered centrally in Arabic numerals. Upon the centre of the reverse of p. 7 is the following colophon, " Edizione de Mille Copie / Stampate a Spese dell' Autore ; / Prezzo : jo Centesimi j In Soccorso dei Toscani Feriti." At the foot of this page is the following printer's imprint, " Firenze, i860 — Tipografia Barbara." There are no signatures, the pamphlet (which was issued without any half-title) being composed of a single half-sheet, folded to form eight pages. Issued stitched, and without wrappers. The leaves, which were trimmed, measure 8J x 5 yV inches. There were also copies on Large Paper, royal octavo size, with un- trimmed edges. If a thousand copies really were printed, which is doubtful, it is somewhat remarkable that so few examples should be forthcoming to-day. Probably the small price, 30 centesimi, at which the pamphlet was issued resulted in no value being attached to the copies by their original owners, who no doubt tossed them aside as soon as read. EDITIONES PRINCIPES, ETC. 193 To J. T. Field, the American publisher, Landor wrote : My dear Sir, In the Italian dialogue I sent to you much was omitted by the printer's fear that the sentiments would offend the higher powers and obstruct the publication. It gave me some trouble to compose, and I was urged to give the whole in English, which I now send . . . Very truly yours W. S. Landor. The English version of Landor's Savonarola dialogue was printed in The London Review, September 22nd, i860. Whether it was printed from the author's manuscript or from a copy made by Mrs. Lynn Linton, through whose hands it reached that periodical, is uncertain. Another manuscript, found in Landor's writing desk, was published in Mr. Stephen Wheeler's volume of 1897. This exhibits some slight variations from the first mentioned text, but there is nothing to show which of the two versions was the earlier. There has been a doubt expressed as to whether Landor himself composed the Italian version of the dialogue. The late Dr. Arthur de Nod Walker, who stayed with Landor in i860, informed Mr. Wheeler that the dialogue was originally written in English ; that he himself made the Italian translation which, after being revised by an Italian scholar who could only suggest a few small alterations, was given to Landor ; that by Landor the text was subjected to a further revision by no means conducive to its improvement ; and that it was then sent to the press. However, in face of the letter printed above, Landor's apparent claim to be the author of the Italian text cannot be altogether discarded. Possibly Dr. Walker did no more than assist in the revision of the text, and his memory of what happened in i860 may have betrayed him. There is a copy of the First Edition of Savonarola in the Library of the British Museum. The Press-mark is 12331. f. 49. 194 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR.

[TAo' I seldom have writ since my Muse was beset\ 7 This Address was written by Walter Savage Lander in 1798, or at latest early in 1799, and formed a portion of the projected volume of Poems prepared by him for publication in 1800. The volume in question was actually set up in type, but held back from the press, and eventually a considerable portion of its contents (including the present Address) was withdrawn. The remaining portion was finally published in 1802, under the title Poetry by the Author of Gebir. — [See ante, No. 7.] The Address itself is an excellent example of those lampoons to the composition of which Landor was at one time addicted. Q 2 228 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. It is possible that the title may have been a parody of Coleridge's Fears in Solitude. When Lander's Address was composed Coleridge's poem had but recently been published [4to, 1798], and the title-page of the latter recorded that it was "written during the Alarm of an Invasion."

The following pamphlets and leaflets are known to have been printed by Landor, but at the present time no example of any one of them can be traced. Exact collations cannot therefore be furnished. (i) Sponsalia PoLYXENiE. [Pistoiis : 1819.] Forster, in a footnote to Lander's letter to Southey, written from Pisa, January 20th, 1820, states that Sponsalia Polyxemz had then been privately printed. (Landor: A Biography, 1869, i, 456 n.) There is at present no copy of the work either in the Library of the British Museum or in the Forster Library at South Kensington, nor was it EDITIONES PRINCIPES. ETC. 233 mentioned in any list of Landor's writings until the title, place of issue, and date were given in TAe Athenaum, July I2th, 1902, p. 64. These particulars were there stated on the authority of a letter from the late Willard Fiske, dated Villa Landor, San Domenico, Florence, May 15th, 1899. He wrote : "Of the books [by W. S. Landor] printed in Italy I possess the Sponsalia Polyxena (Pistoiis : 1819), and the Idyllia Heroica Decern (Pisis : 1820)." In the absence of proof to the contrary, it may be safely assumed that the poem privately printed at Pistoja was identical with the one bearing the same title, and beginning Virgo, Iliaca sanguis tuus urbe manebit, in the latter volume, pp. 16-23, ^n<5 reprinted in Poemata et InscripHones, 1847, pp. 11-16. (2) To THE Burgesses of Warwick. An octavo pamphlet of eight pages, consisting of: Address "to the Burgesses of Warwick," pp. 1-3; and "Address to the Burgesses assembled at the Court House," pp. 4-8 ; the latter signed " Walter Savage Landor." (3) Two Poems : (i) Lines. \Gaffer Lockhart ! Gaffer Lockhart l'\ Reprinted in Dry Sticks Fagoted, 1858, p. 95. (2) Palinodia. \So, after all, I mist the mark r\ These two poems were printed on a half-sheet of note paper. (4) Two Poems — [1852] : (i) On Mrs. Southey's Pension. \Stanley ! I never saw thy face\. Three stanzas of this poem are printed, from a letter written in January, 1851 (?) in Forster's Landor: A Biography, 1869, Vol. ii, p. 534. Mrs. Southey's Pension was granted in 1852. (2) Paraphrase of Horace's Pyrrha. [What slender youth perfused with fresh Macassar\. Printed in The Examiner, October i6tA, 1852, and reprinted in Last Fruit, 1853, p. 429. These two poems were printed on a sheet of note-paper. 234 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. (5) Letters of a Canadian. [1862]. This pamphlet, frequently mentioned in Landor's correspondence with Dr. Arthur de Noi Walker, was printed in Marylebone, London, in 1862. JVote. The following compositions are mentioned in Forster's Wa/fer Savage Landor : A Biography, 1869, but in no case is there a positive assertion that any of them were actually printed : 1. The Charitable Dowager, A Comedy. 2. Hints to Juntas. X. Letters to Sir Francis Burdett. BOOKS WRONGLY ATTRIBUTED TO WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR. (I) Guy's Porridge Pot : A Poem. London : printed for the Author, 1808. The Warwickshire Talents, alias Guy's Porridge Pot, with the Dun Cow Roasted Whole. An Epic Poem. Second Edition. London : printed for the Author, 1809. (3) Guy's Porridge Pot, with the Dun Cow Roasted Whole. An Epic Poem in twenty-five books. Part I. London : printed for the Author, 1809. Conclusive reasons for rejecting the supposition that Landor wrote this, or either of the two preceding editions of Gu}fs Porridge Pot, have already been adduced. See No. 9, The Dun Cow, 1808. \ \ EDITIONES PRINCIPES. ETC. 235 (4) Messalina. [jFtve-Ztne qtwtation from Virgil.'] London : Printed for W. Wright, 46, Fleet-street. 1821. This poem is a scurrilous attack upon Queen Caroline, wife of George IV, and there is not the smallest evidence to suggest that Landor had any concern with it whatever. On the contrary, the style of the work, and the fact that both Dr. Farr and Southey are referred to in terms of contumely, afford irrefragable proof that it was not written by him. (5) The Bath Subscription Ball and other Poems. London : Saunders and Otley. 1842. Reviewed in Tlie Examiner, April iyd, 1842. As there stated, Landor was not the author of these poems. (6) Hebrew Lyrics. By an Octogenarian. London : Saunders, Otley, and Co. 1859. Wrongly attributed to Landor by Halkett and Laing in their Dictionary cf Anonymous and Pseudonymous Literature. Note. In Harper^s Magazine for March, 1916, pp. 530-539, is an article entitled "Some Unpublished Papers by Robert and Elizabeth Barrett Browning" Edited by George S. Hellman. The article includes two Sonnets to Mrs. Browning which, Mr. Hellman states, were written by Landor. Fortunately a facsimile reproduction of the manuscript of one of these Sonnets is given, and it is not in Landor's handwriting. Landor never addressed a Sonnet, in English, to Mrs. Browning, or to any. other person. PART II. CONTRIBUTIONS TO PERIODICAL LITERATURE, etc. PART II.

Mr. Layard states (p. 56) that Amymone : A Romance of the Days of Pericles by Miss Eliza Lynn (afterwards Mrs. Lynn Linton), "aroused the admiration of Walter Savage Landor, by whom a favourable review in The Examiner is generally supposed to have been written." Landor cannot have been the writer. The review was printed in The Examiner, September 2nd, 1848. In the first sentence Landor is referred to as "a great authority on classical literature, himself a classic " ; and he was not likely to advertise himself in this way. (285.)

PAGE Imaginary Conversations .... .1 The first nineteen Conversations, pp. 1-126, comprise those printed in Imaginary Conversations, second edition, 1826, vol. i, together with the second Conversation of '■ Southey and Porson." This, previously printed in Blackwood's Magazitie, December, 1842, pp. 687-715, is now inserted after the Conversation of " Peter Leopold and President du Paty." Some alterations are made, AA 370 BIBLIOGRAPHY OF W. S. LANDOR. and the parody on Wordsworth — " ffettjf, old Dinah Mitchell's daughter" — is omitted. The nineteen Conversations, pp. 120-254, comprise the eighteen Conversations in Imaginary Conversations, second edition, 1826, vol ii, together with a second Conversation of "Johnson and Tooke " inserted after that of " Alfieri and Salomon." The next nineteen Conversations, pp. 254-360, com- prise those in Imaginary Conversations, vol. iii, 1828, with the exception of " Ines de Castro, Don Pedro, and Dofia Blanca," now transformed into verse, and reprinted in another place. The remainder of the volume, pp. 360-578, is made up of the Conver- sations in Imaginary Conversations, second series, vols, i and ii, 1829. There are alterations both in the order aud in the text. ' ' Peleus and Thetis " is now incorporated in the Conversation " Epicurus, Leontion, and Ternissa" ; while " Metellus and Marius " is removed from its original position and put at the end of the volume. Having apparently been overlooked till the last moment, this Conversation is unnoticed both in the list of contents and in the index. Now for the first time included in the Conversations are the following poems : PAGE Poet ANB Lady. \Thus do you sit and break the floisfrs^ . 9 Read by Lord Brooke as his own composition, but written by Landor during the first years of his residence in Italy.

Note. — Each poem to which no reference is appended appeared, so far as is yet known, for the first time in this volume. MISCELLANEOUS. The "Miscellaneous" poems in Works, 1846, ii, 619-675, comprise three hundred and twenty-one pieces, to two of which no number is attached. Among them are fifty-eight out of the seventy-six shorter poems in Gebir, Count Julian, &•€., 1831, pp. 287-384, as well as "Gunlaug," a long poem printed in that volume, pp. 261-283, and numbered in 1846, LXXXI. No important alteration is made in the text of these excerpts from the 1 83 1 volume. The fifty-eight shorter poems taken from it and reprinted in this section are those now numbered : i-ni, V, viii-x, xiv-xvni, xxi, xxvi, xxix, XXXV, XL, XLIV, XLV, LH, LIX, LXV, LXXIII-LXXV, LXXXin-LXXXV, LXXXVII, LXXXIX, XCI, XCIII, xcvii-xcix, ci-cni, cv-cvni, ex, cxiii, cxxin, cxxxv, cxxxvii, CLxxvi, ccn, ccx, ccxni, CCXVIII, CCXLI, CCLIV, CCLVI, CCLIX, CCLXVH, ccxc. Of the remaining eighteen short poems in Gebir, Count Julian, drc, 1831, one which had afterwards been transferred to an imaginary conversation ("Dante and Beatrice"), and two others transferred to Pericles and Aspasia, are placed elsewhere in the COLLECTED EDITIONS. ETC. 379 two volume edition of 1846. Of yet another two, portions — now numbered XXXI and CCXXXII — reappear among the "Miscellaneous" in 1846. Thus, of the seventy-six shorter poems printed in 1831 (and in some cases previously printed in Simonidea, 1806) all but thirteen were reprinted in full or in part in 1846. The "Miscellaneous" poetry of 1846 also includes five of the six short English poems in Poetry by the Author of Gebir, 1802, PP- 5i~56 j ^^ single omission being that of the piece "On the Declaration of War by Spain." The five poems of 1802 are numbered in 1846 as follows : LXXVII, LXXXVI, XCII, XCV, CXCIII. In addition to what was reprinted, without important alteration, from the 1802 and 183 1 volumes, the "Miscellaneous" poetry of 1846 includes the following pieces : PAGE \0 friends I who have accompanied thusfar\ . 619 IV. [The touch of Love dispels the glooni] . . .619 That Landor wrote " The torch of Love " is manifest from the context. The poem has been reprinted in various selections and anthologies, as well as by Forster in 1876, but never with an emendation which might have occurred to any judicious editor. VI.

Issued in cloth boards, which in some instances are dark brown and in others dark green, gilt lettered, and with Landor's monogram stamped in black upon the sides. The edition was edited by John Forster. VOL. I. The Zi/e of Lander, which forms the first volume of this edition, was a recast of Walter Savage Landor : A Biography. By John Forster, 2 Vols., 8vo, z86g. Many passages were omitted, and much matter condensed. [See post. Part IV, No. 2.] VOL. II. Imaginary Conversations. Greek. Of the eighteen printed in Imaginary Conversations, Greek and Roman, in 1853, "Rhadamistus and Zenobia" was transferred, in 1876, to the Fambus Women section. The others were left in relatively the same order. But between "Epicurus, Leontion, and Ternissa " and " Lucian and Timotheus " three Conversations not printed in 1853 were interposed in 1876, namely : Epicurus and Metrodorus ^ZS Menander and Epicurus 244 Menander and Epicurus. Second Conversation . . 250 What is called by Forster " Second Conversation, Menander and Epicurus," was previously printed in Fraser's Magazine, April, 1856, pp. 455-460. It is clear, however, that Landor intended this to be the first of the two Conversations.

This is incorrect. The Bill in question was presented in the House of Commons on February nth, 181 3, by Sir Charles Morgan, Member for Monmouthshire ; it was passed by the Lower House on May \th, following ; was agreed to by the House of Lords on May \2th ; and received the Royal assent on May 2\st, 18 13.

Selections from Lander's published works do not come within the scope of this bibliography. By far the most noteworthy of such volumes is the one "arranged and edited" by Sir Sidney Colvin for TAe Golden Treasury Series (Macmillan and Co. : 1882). APPENDIX TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF LANDOR. I. Since the completion of the Bibliography the following pamphlet, privately printed by Landor in 1832, until now entirely unknown and unrecorded, has come to light. [Solon and Pisistratus : 1832] Imaginary Conversation. / Solon and Pisistratus. Collation : — Demy octavo, pp. ii + 12; consisting of : Title-page, as above (with blank reverse), pp. i — ii ; and text of the Conversation, pp. i — 12. No place of production is mentioned, and there is no printer's imprint. There are head-lines throughout, each verso being headed Imaginary Conversation, and each recto Solon and Pisistratus. There are no signatures, the pamphlet being composed of a single sheet folded to form 16 pages. The last leaf, absent in the recently discovered copy, was evidently a blank. The letterpress ends on p. 12 with the initials " W. S. L.," followed by a short printer's rule. Issued, apparently, stitched and without wrappers. The leaves measure Syg- x 5 inches. 424 APPENDIX. Solon and Pisistratiis was first published in The Philological Museum, Cambridge, 1832, Vol. i, pp. 427 — 438. The Con- versation was reprinted in Landor's Works, 1876, Vol. ii, pp. 28—37. The at present unique copy of the pamphlet now happily recovered was given by its author to the wife of his friend Joseph Ablett. Upon the upper portion of the first page, above the title, is the following inscription boldly written in Landor's hand : " From Walter Landor to his excellent friend Mrs. Ablett" II. Landor in the Oxford Dictionary. Attention has been drawn in the Preface (p. xxi) to the in- accuracy of a date given in The Historical English Dictionary for a quotation from Landor in which he used the word subsidence. What renders the error more noteworthy is that he took credit to himself for inventing the word. (Literary Afiecdotes of the nineteenth Century, i, 190.) Nor is this the only instance of a quotation from Landor being misdated in the Dictionary. Under ACCRETE a passage is dated 1824 which was not in print till 1846. Under columel a Conversation first printed in 1833, and then in a periodical, is dated 1829. Under eviration 1829 is given as the date of a Conversation first printed in 1846. The quotation for pediculous is dated 1824; whereas the passage in which the word occurs was interpolated two years later. In one case, indeed, a Landor quotation is dated "ante 1864" ; a fairly safe surmise seeing that Landor died in that year. It would have been more precise, however, and equally correct, to indicate that the poem quoted for argute was actually published a quarter of a century before the death of its author.

But even for this 1846 edition various other dates are assigned : e.g., 1853 under marum, and 1868 under celestitude. The following words used by Landor are not discoverable in the Dictionary : Works, 1876, Vol. ii, p. 238. Literary Anecdotes of the Nineteenth Century, 1895, Vol. i, p. 183.* Works, 1876, Vol. vi, p. 524. Works, 1876, Vol. viii, p. 425. Works, 1876, Vol. viii, p. 391.

LILIHOOD. 1895. obstreperance. 1846. ONOMACLASTS. 1843- PHYTOLOGICALLY. 1842. From an autograph Manuscript presumably written in 1835. 426 APPENDIX. ANTEMURAL, according to the Dictionary, is an obsolete word. Nevertheless it may be found in one of the disquisitions appended by Landor to his Pericles and Aspasia. Hating, as he said, false words, and seeking with care and difficulty those that fitted, Landor prided himself on writing " as Englishmen wrote before literary men courted the vulgar, or gentlemen were the hirelings of booksellers." One may smile at the arrogance of this attitude. There can be no question, however, that his rank as a man of letters, his wide knowledge of English literature from Chaucer to Tennyson, and the particular attention he paid to the significance, history and derivation of words — even if he was sometimes mistaken in regard to the last point — would make it well worth a lexicographer's while to study his writings with more than a casual interest. The instances given above of inaccurate quotations from Landor seem to warrant the conclusion that for the purposes of the Oxford Dictionary he has been read with an amazing indifference to details which, in a work supposed to be based "on historical principles," can surely not be of trivial consequence.
