This Poem first appeared in the columns of Rivington's " Gazette," and was incor- porated in Andre's Cow-Chace. New York; 1780. It was also included inWiNTHROP Sargent's "Loyalist Poetry of the American Revolution,'' In these publications, it appeared under the name of ' ' Camillo Querno." It is believed that the name of the Author is here first revealed. The Poem as published in the " Cow-Chace " DIFFERS materially FROM THIS MSS. COPY, THE AUTHOR HAVING MADE MANY ALTERA- TIONS. The volume contains a presentation inscription from Thatcher Taylor Payne, the Poet's younger Brother, in which the facts, as quoted, are detailed. A rare engraved portrait of " Master VKYtiY.," from a miniature by Wood, is pasted on u fly-leaf, and some poetical clippings accompany the volume. The Author was in charge of a Church in Maryland for many years, and his " Catises and Consequences of the American Revolu- tion " is well known.

The Unique Copy of this play by Governor Hunter of New York (assisted 6y Chief Justice Lewis Morris) was formerly in the possession of John Philip Kemble, at whose sale in 1821 it was purchased by W. B. Rhodes. At the dispersal of the Rhodes collection in 1823, it passed into the possession of the Duke of Devonshire, in whose library it still reposes. In l88o, the then Duke, in consideration of the pay- ment of ten guineas, allowed this single manuscript copy to be made. Its first owner was George H. Moore, of the Lenox Library, from whom it was purchased by Mr. Charles R. Hildeburn. It passed from his hands to those of Mr. McKee. The original check paid for the copy, with the Duke's signature on its back, accompanies the play. The copy in the Duke's library was printed in New York by William Bradford, and CONTAINS corrections that run all through the piece, together with a Key to the Characters, which makes it quite certain to have been the Author's copy. All these have been incorporated in this Manuscript copy. ' ' The characters are admirably and sharply drawn, and it abounds in genuine humor. The part of ' Tom of Bedlam' is almost as good in his use of words as Mrs. Mala- prop. Altogether it cannot be ranked in cleverness by any play of American origin for many years, and it is THE FIRST, BOTH written and printed in America." — Paul Leicester Ford. 1112 HUTTON (JOSEPH).

'Y'HE Dramatic portion of the McKee Library necessarily extends into three catalogues — with a possible overflow into a fourth. It will be borne in mind that the collection of American Plays has already been dispersed. The succeeding one will contain the remarkably choice lot of Early English Plays, together with the collected editions of the Early Dramatists, including the Shakespeare Folios. The present Catalogue represents, therefore, but a portion of Mr. McKee's Dramatic Library, and, moreover, contains only such items as pertain strictly to the Drama. The number could have been greatly augmented by the introduction of works usually classed under the heading of Drama, but which relate to its history in only a remote way. As a rule, the Manu- scripts, Books of Portraits, Works with Autographic Material, and Playbills, will not be found in this Catalogue — though many notable exceptions have been made. The items will be easily recognized. Mr. McKee was an enthusiastic student of the Drama, and his knowledge on the subject was all-embracing and exhaustive. Particularly was this true as regards its early history, both in England and America. While most works on the Drama appealed to him as a purchaser, because of his innate desire for knowledge not already possessed, and to extend encouragement to those who were disposed to contribute to its literature, his main endeavor was to secure the "foundation stones," on which the whole dramatic superstructure rests. The measure of suc- cess he attained is evidenced by the presence in the collection of such items as Northbrooke, Gosson, Heywood, Green, Downes, etc., in Early English, and the rare works relating to the intro- duction of the Drama in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and other American cities. He was constantly in search of material that might throw new light on these particular phases of stage history. Many interesting and important items which should have been placed in the preceding and present portions of the Cata- logue were discovered when too late for insertion with the rest. They will be included in the fifth and final portion. dramatic Xiterature. 1283 /IBBOTT (EMMA). Life and Professional Career. By Sadie /\ E. Martin. Minneapolis: 1891. 8vo, cloth.

Frontispiece, containing the only known portrait of "Tony" Aston. Mr. Lowe states that this is A tract of extreme rarity — and he is undoubtedly- correct. The American Dramatic Historians — Dunlap, Seilhamer, Ireland, and others have either settled on about 1750 as the date of the introduction of the Drama in this country, or have aimed to carry it back to about 1730. The Sketch of Aston's Life clearly shows that Theatrical performances were given in New York and other American Towns many years before 1730, and indicates him to have been the first kn©wn professional who performed on the American Stage. He mentions having visited New York, East and West Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina and South Florida. B i3°7 OA^^^'-^'^ e^^S. SOPHIA). Memoirs, by Mrs. Elizabeth Steele.

This work was an emanation from the Anti-Theatrical Party who so bitterly opposed the introduction of the Drama into Philadelphia by William and Lewis Hallam in 1754. Durang in his "History of the Philadelphia Stage " mentions this publication as having been distributed gratis throughout the City; but BEING UNABLE TO LOCATE A COPY, he says it likely contained the Burnet and TiLLOTSON quotations which had been made use of by another party (A. B.), who had contributed to the newspaper controversies — which it does not.

This work differs in title and collation from the copy of ' ' Spiller's Jests " belonging to the late George Daniel, and differs also in title from his copy of " The Comedian's Tales," which is the page-heading of this volume. It seems to be an edition of The Comedian's Tales made up to take advantage of the use of Mr. Spiller's name, which at that time {just following his decease^ was potent. Mr. Daniel (than whom was no better authority) states that he never was able to trace ANY other copy THAN HIS OWN OF EITHER THE " JeSTS " OR " TALES," thoUgh We now know that the British Museum possesses one of the former; but this copy SEEMS to possess ELEMENTS OF INTEREST THAT EVEN THEY DO NOT, TO SAY NOTHING OF ITS UNDOUBTED RARITY. 2072 SQUINTS THROUGH AN OPERA GLASS.

''T'HE collection of Books described in this Catalogue forms one of the more important divisions of the McKee Library, and presents for dispersal what is undoubtedly the finest and most extensive collection of Early English Plays ever offered at public sale in America. While it forms a portion — the concluding and most valuable portion — of Mr. McKee's Dramatic Library, it possesses ele- ments of marked interest that will appeal to many who profess to ignore the Drama. As in Art, the works of Rubens, Raphael, Michael Angelo, and a few others, stand supreme and unrivalled, so the plays of Shakespeare, Jonson, Fletcher, Chapman, Massinger, and others, are destined to immortality — in fact, have already attained it. They, too, are veritable Old Masters. Their works have been gathered into sets, edition following edition, until the purchaser has a wide range of choice. Most of the important writers of the last century have taken the works of these master-minds of English literature as subjects of their highest eulogiums. Who can read Charles Lamb and James Russell Lowell, and ignore the Old English Dramatists ? Hardly a notable library has been gathered in the past century which has not comprised a fair representation of Old English Plays — the originals when procurable, otherwise, in collected editions. The greater the library the larger has been the representation. It is generally admitted that the manners, morals, and customs of those times are nowhere more clearly portrayed than in the Plays of the Dramatic Poets. They are, truly, " Mirrors held up to Nature," and it is because of the faith- fulness of the reproduction that the spots and blemishes appear. The proportion of Poetry included with these Plays is much larger than would be imagined by one unfamiliar with their contents. The numerous commendatory verses are by such poets as Ben Jonson, Cokain, Cowley, Beaumont, Fletcher, Dryden, and others of equal rank. A collector of Early English Poetry must necessarily be a collector of Early English Plays. TN the interest of intending purchasers unable to make per- sonal inspection of the volumes, extraordinary care has been exercised in the descriptions, and they may be absolutely de- pended upon. In many cases detailed mention has been made of trifling defects which in previous descriptions of the identical copies, were not deemed of sufficient importance to notice. 4^ a Collection of lEarl^ jetiQlisb BMa^s. 2187 /m DDISON (JOSEPH).

This edition is identical in text with The First Scottish Edition of Shake- speare published in 1753, and edited by the celebrated Dr. Hugh Blair. This copy was purchased by Mr. McKee from Mr. George Tawze, an intelligent and enterprising Scotch bookseller, who came to New York in 1872 with a large collection of rare and valuable books, which he exhibited for sale in a store on Broad- way, opposite AsTOR Place. Mr. Tawze has inserted in Vol. I. an extremely interesting manuscript note, giving a circumstantial account of the remarkable providence by which THIS ines- timable literary treasure came into his possession. The following is an exact transcript of Mr. Tawze's ms. note, including his signature. "BURNS' OWN SHAKESPEAR." " This Edition of the Works of William Shakespear formerly belonged to Robert Burns, the Scottish Poet, and bears his manly autograph on the Title- page. It was presented to the Poet by the Editor, the Rev. Dr Hugh Blair, Professor of Belle Lettres in the University of Edinburgh, and was accompanied by a letter from Dk Blair, I believe now lost. The Book was presented by M^s Burns, after the Poet's death, to Mrs * * x * (the Mother of Mrs James, High Street, Dumfries) who was a neighbour of the Poet & his family in the Wee Vennel Dumfries, & a fast friend of Mrs Burns until her death. I lodged in the house of Mrs James for some months in the end of 1846, and heard her mother's & her own Reminiscences of Scot- land's Poet, and through Mrs James, I purchased from the Old Lady (whose name I cannot recall to remembrance) this priceless work, in November 1846."

All the title-pages, except- ing those of the first and sixth volumes, have been torn out by some former owner; and the eighth volume is wanting. It may be safely asserted that a complete and perfect copy of this first American edition of Shakespeare is one of the rarest works in the whole range of American literature and typography. No more than twelve copies are at present known to collectors, and four of these are imperfect. The por- trait IS wanting in nearly all copies. 2606 THE SECOND AMERICAN EDITION OF SHAKE- SPEARE.

FIRST AMERICAN EDITION, bound in full olive crushed levant morocco, gilt back and top, corner ornaments on sides, inside morocco borders. "Essays from the Idler" at end. There are good reasons for supposing that the Dublin (first) Edition of this celebrated comedy was not issued before 1781. The enterprise of this Scottish-American bookseller in so quickly recognizing it's merit, and re-printing it, is noteworthy. He was one of the most interesting characters in American Literary Annals, and " Bell Imprints " are surely destined to have an increasing demand -among collectors. This is one of the rarest issues of his press, a very fine copy. The edition printed by Hugh Gaine in New York in 17S6 from a manuscript copy furnished by John Henry, the manager of the old John Street Theatre, and which he claimed was presented to him by Sheridan himself, has hitherto been sup- posed to be the earliest American edition. 263s SHERIDAN (RICHARD BRINSLEY).

'P'HE Volumes selected for description in this portion of the McKee collection have been strictly limited to those written by Sixteenth and Seventeenth Century Authors, though in a few cases the works bear a later date. Much that might have been said, bibliographically, in de- scribing the books in this catalogue remains unsaid, because unnecessary. Any attempt to give such information to those who measure up to the purchase of Early English Literature, would be like "carrying coals to Newcastle." In the interest of intending purchasers unable to make personal inspection of the volumes, extraordinary care has been exercised in the descriptions of the works now offered for sale. In many cases detailed mention has been made of trifling defects which in previous descriptions of the identical copies were not deemed of sufficient importance to notice. It is fitting that a special acknowledgment should be made of the valuable aid afforded by the use of the " Catalogue of Original and Early Editions of some of the Poetical and Prose Works of English Writers from Langland to Wither," issued by the Grolier Club. It is a question whether any known work, on strictly bibliographical lines, can be more absolutely depended upon. learl^ lenglieb Xiterature. 2712 /ICADEMIA: | or, the i HUMOURS | of the anit)erait2 of r\ ®xfor&.

Small folio, original calf, gilt ornaments on back and corners, gilt panels on sides, with device in centre. Brilliant impression of the excessively rare portrait of the Author engraved by William Marshall. Title within engraved border. From the Earl of Westmoreland's collection, containing his book label on inside cover, together with his written motto on top margin of verso of portrait. (A slight tear in the lower margin of the portrait has been neatly repaired.) The following extract from the Bibliotheca Anglo Poetica [18 1 5] will attest the extraordinary value of such a copy as this : "The circumstance which so much enhances the value of the present fine copy of this ■work, is that it possesses a most brilliant ifnpression of the rare portrait of the Earl of Stirling, engraved by Marshall, and UNDOUBTEDLY THAT ARTIST'S MASTERPIECE. It is conjectured that it was engraved in order thai the noble author might present a few copies to particular friends, and that the copper was then broke up — be it as it may, IT IS DOUBTFUL IF THERE ARE SO MANY AS THREE NOW KNOWN." For the copy above spoken of fifty pounds was asked in 1815. It is described as bound in russia, and as this copy is in the original binding, crisp and clean as on THE DAY OF ISSUE, IT IS UNQUESTIONABLY THE BETTER. The portrait has all the original margins, and THE impression is rich and velvety. 2718 ALEXANDER (SIR WILLIAM, Earl of Stirling).

It contains no less THAN 79 extracts FROM SHAKESPEARE ALONE. 2721 ANNALIA DUBRENSIA. ANNALIA | DVBRENSIA.

The margins are, with hardly an exception, of AMPLE PROPORTIONS, and the leaves are clean and CRISP. The work contains numerous most curious woodcut engravings. Exceptionally fine copy. The design of this remarkable work (originally written by Sebastian Brandt of Basle, about 1494) was to ridicule the prevailing follies and vices of every rank and profes- sion, under the allegory of a ship freighted with fools. " Barclay's version is not merely a translation, but more of a paraphrase, with considerable additions, gleaned from the follies of his own countrymen." — Corser. Bearing in mind that the work was written about 1494, the reference to the DISCOVERY OF AMERICA, as given on page 131, possesses extraordinary interest: ^'iTor notuc of late Ijatl) large lanb anb grounbe Sene founbe bg morgners oub croftg gonernours, W(\t tDl)icl) lanbcs mere ueuer knotocn nor founbe Before our time bg our prebecctfours, Ferdinandus, tljat late toae king of ©pagne, ®f lonbe onb peoijle l)atl) founbe jilentie anb store," etc. This edition contains " The Mirrour of good Maners," translated by Barclay from the Latin of Dominike Mancin, and the five Eclogues translated from the Latin of Eneas Silvius.

The first edition was published in 1602, and of that but one copy is known to exist, and that is imperfect, This is the last of the original EDITIONS, and considered THE BEST, as the contents were entirely re-arranged. The work has been twice re-printed, at the Lee Priory Press (lOo copies), and in two vols. London, 1826 (250 copies). D A V I S O N S POEMS, O K, A PoericaJl Rapfodie. Deiiided into dxc Bookes.

The First Edition of this valuable work is commonly termed the Shakespeare Edition, because it is supposed to have been consulted by him in the compilation of his historical plays. It is proper to remark that this copy is deplorably imperfect, and will be sold with all its imperfections, and without recourse. Mr. W. Carew Hazlitt justly remarks that " this work is probably one of the most difficult books in the language to obtain in thoroughly genuine state, nearly every copy being made up or imperfect." 2992 HOLINSHED (RAPHAELL).

A remarkably Choice Copy, in faultless condition. Bookplate of Charles B. Foote. [In slip case.] Of the utmost rarity in this condition. Mr. McKee owned an ordinarily good copy prior to the sale of the Foote collection. He was particularly desirous of possessing a choice copy of this noted work, which Mr. Shield, in his '^ Intro- duction to Harmony" has termed "almost as scarce as a manuscript," and secured the Foote copy. The volume contained a fac-simile leaf, and a portion of the frontispiece was lacking, which doubtless accounted for the low figure brought at that sale for an otherwise remarkable book in remarkable condition. Mr. McKee replaced the defective leaves with the corresponding ones from his other copy, and IT CAN NOW be truthfully described as one of the gems OF THE COLLECTION. In this connection, we may quote Mr. Andrew Lang in his ''''Ballade of the Bookman's Paradise." " There treasures bound for Longepierre Keep brilliant their morocco blue. There Hookes' ' Amanda' is not rare. Nor early tracts upon Peru ! " OLibrars of 'a;bomas 3. /IDclRee 591 2998 HORACE.

Two lines of verse written on the title, and two six-line stanzas on a fiy-leaf, are signed J. M. The possibility of their having been written by John Milton is naturally suggested. Regarding this, a former owner of the volume has written on the inside cover, " The writing on the title-page signed J. M. is VERY like the WRITING in the EpITAPH LATELY DISCOVERED IN THE BRITISH MuSEUM. Compare " From wit" and " For so." Both have the double f. And the careful writing on the fly-leaf is VERY like the other writing of Milton in the Museum." "As by a wife ihou liusl, soe by a wyfe Thou was cut of : thus vice b' vertue striue : It was thy goodnesse which did shorten life, And yet by death thou longer shall suruiue " J: M: In his extended notice of this work, Mr. Collier was able to quote only from a copy of the third edition. 632 Xtbrars of Tlbomas 3. /iDclkee 3084 pAINTER (WILLIAM), ^^^t 3^dill^tt\tif ^Ita^Utt ■ 25caUtift0tl, I adorned and welfurnished, with \ Pleasaunt Historyes and excellent | Nouelles, selected out of diuers | ffonU anS tommenSas | ble Authours. | 1 By William Painter Clarke | of the Ordinaunce and | Armarie. | 1569. | Imprinted at London in \ Fletestreate neare to S.
