Gedruckt zli Strassburg durch Georgen Vlricher, 1534 An item of excbssive kakitt, and of interest to all collectobs and libeabians. apparently the first copy to appear in either the amer- ICAN OE English auction marts. The text of the present copy, with the exception of the minor defect noted above, is in exceptionally sound condition. Regarding this work, Sabin's Dictionary thus states : — "A German translation by Michael Herr ; it is less known and much rarer than the original. Although it has no map, it has, on the other hand, the merit of being augmented in the text. It contains a full translation of Peter Martyr's Decades, leaf 174-229, and also his books "De Legatione Babylonica," 235-248, both wanting in all the different Latin editions ; besides it contains all the pieces of the first Latin edition of 1532, except Munster's "Introductio in tabulam geograph," to which the map belongs, and would therefore, have been superfiuous in this edition. The preface by Grynaeus is omitted, but a new one by the translator, Michael Herr, is added. It is curious that none of these differences have been noted by Harrisse."

"The Committee to whom the several Ordinances relating to Capture on Water were committed, report the following Ordinance : — In pursuance of the power vested in Congress by the articles of confederation, and to prevent the danger arising from uncertainty or error in decisions on captures which ought to be the result of accurate comparison and application of the resolutions of Congress, public treaties and the law of nations; it becomes necessary that a supreme court of appeals, in all cases of captures, should be constituted, and established, with full power to controul and correct the proceedings of all inferior courts of admiralty in the United States in such cases. "The report then goes on to state that the Court is to consist of three members, to be chosen from time to time by Congress, and commissioned by the President.

Original Documents relative to the half pay of British ofiBeers in the French and Indian War and the War of the Revolution. Among the more important items noted are the following, — Com- plete List of the Reduced Officers entitled to half pay on over 100 pages. Among the members of the Regiment disbanded in 1748 and 1749 are the Staff Officer of the Garrison of Louisberg, John Cherington and Thomas Maliee as Surgeon to the Commander in Chief of the Expedition to the Spanish West Indies.

At this date there were still living officers of the Garrison of Louis- berg, Havannah and the Corps of Rangers raised in North America, who were entitled to half-pay. The importance of these documents lays in the "List of Officers Names," of the Regiments disbanded and re- duced in 1783, 1784, and 1785, among which will be found in the First American Regiment (44 names) Officers of the Hospital for the Forces in North America, etc. Among the officers and regiments mentioned are the following, — Lieutenant-General Cornwallis; StafE Officers at Louisburg, including Sir John Peppprell's company ; Lieutenant General Sir William Shirley's Fifty Foot; Colonel John Burgoyne; General Thomas Gates' Regiment of Dragoons ; Officers of the Earl of Cornwallis ; and others.

We can afford to lose even Richmond — but they cannot Washington & Maryland . . . But we must look out for less important expeditions such as the destruction of the Batteries at Aquia Creek . . .

These sketches and notes were made on odd leaves of note paper, let- ters and envelopes, consequently many of the sheets are letters, or por- tions of letters addressed to him.

One of the best volumes describing this period of life in London, and its fashionable places of resort.

Vestris, and many others, some of whom were concerned in the Maria Foote affair.

Together, 4 vols, uniformly bound in half green levant morocco, gilt tops or gilt edges, original cloth covers (3) bound in. London, 1840-1842 It is of very rare occurrence that a complete set of the Sibson plates accompanies such a fine copy of "The Clock." This artist made but two sets of extra illustrations for Dickens' writings, "Pickwick" and "Master Humphrey's Clock." The set of Sibson Etchings is unquestion- ably the best independent series of illustrations to Dickens ever pub- lished, and brilliant original impressions, such as those in the pres- ent copy, are rightfully regarded as equal to the best efforts of Seymour, 'Phiz,' and Cruikishank in the same direction. 358.

Dickens (Charles). A remarkable collection of extra-illustra- tions TO the works of Charles Dickens, comprising six hun- dred and foety-ninb original chaeactbe studies, illustrating the Writings of Dickens, drawn in watee-coloes, by "Kyd," (Clayton Clark). Each drawing executed on a large quarto sheet of cartridge paper, with a colored and illustrated general title-page, and colored title-pages and lists of the characters to each set of drawings, all executed by "Kyd." The whole preserved in six specially made book-shaped cloth cases, each with an inner pro- tecting cover, and lettered. (London, 1885-1889) The most important series op drawings by "Ktd" to illustrate the WRITINGS OF Dickens that has been offered fob sale. A born lover of Dickens, "Kyd" has so steeped himself in his writings, and so thor- oughly grasped the true Dickensian spirit that he seems to represent absolutely the characters as Dickens had them in his mind, giving form and feature to practically every one in the whole series of Dick- ens' writings, and proving "Kyd" to be almost as prolific and versatile as Dickens himself. This unique collection would be admirably adapted to extra-illustrat- ing any of the good library editions of Dickens as the water-colors themselves are of a suitable size for an octave volume, and the book in which each character appears is inscribed on the drawing. Laid in is a one page 4to. autograph letter of the artist, regarding the drawings, in which he states that the foregoing collection " is Second Session, Wednesday Evening^ April 6th [No. 363— Continued] perhaps the most complete and most comprehensive series of my Dickens Studies at present existing" etc. Comprises the following series; Sketches by Boz. 36 drawings.

Lewes" being correspondence addressed to Mr. Deutsch, either from Germany, where she was in August, 1867, or from the Priory, North Bank, Eegents Park, from August 13, 1867, to, and including, September 14, 1870. Three of the letters are not dated, but were probably written between these periods. The letters lightly hinged on paper, within pen-and-ink borders, each leaf guarded, and the whole bound in a small 4to. volume of red morocco, con- tents lettered on the side and back. In a cloth case. This highly important sebies of autogbaph letters, by the author of "Adam Bede" was written to Mr. Deutsch, about whom she wrote in her journal on November 22, 1867. ". . . The author of the glorious article on the Talmud is "that bright little man," Mr. Deutsch — a very dear, delightful creature." They comprise 24 pages, and are of inti- mate personal interest. Some extracts from them follow: "Here we are among our beloved pine forests, renewing past joys — & we like this so well that we do not think of journeying onward till the 20th. Probably on the 22d we shall be at Dresden, so will you please address your (promised) precious packet to me at the Poste Restante there?" ****** "May it be long before you go thither in the mysterious boat & make it heavy with the invisible weight of your soul ! Also pray send me any word you can about our friend Mrs. F. Lehmann. Mr. Lewes unites in begging you to accept our kind regards," ****** "gee how I take it on me to tell you our duty ! But as a German you are bound to be reverent to rather silly old women & take them for prophetesses. I am delighted to tell you that Mr. Lewes is already a new creature as to his digestion." ; ***** 4i "We have been thinking of you much since you parted from us yes- terday, & have made ourselves all the more indignant at the buzzing & stinging which is tormenting you. I beseech you not to battle with it Escape from it — mentally, I mean, by working steadily without refer- ence to any temporary chit-chat, whether silly, ignorant, or curious. Of course the noise of admiration is always half of it contemptible in its quality, & as besotting as bad wine if a man lets himself take too much of it. And the spite, the head-shaking, the depreciation that comes as a consequence, are the muddiest reflux of muddy waters. Get rid of it all by a huge effort of will, & don't run the risk of being maddened by insect stings. Let your articles be what they please — are you accountable to the world for the fuss they have made about it?" • **••• "It has been a painful thought to me that we should have told you we wavered & almost wished you had gone away from this Bable. It was a sort of figure in Mr. Lewes' speech last night; he only meant to Impress on you his sense of the need that you should keep yourself in calm air. You do not believe that we can help, beneath all, rejoicing that you have not gone on that frightfully uncertain journey." ****** "I write in case I do not see you tomorrow to tell you that I have no courage to write when I am away because I never believe that any Second Session, Wednesday Evening, April 5th [No. 419 — Continued] one cares for me for a fortnight together unless I have some renewed assurance of eye or voice or hand. But if you should happen to have a wish directed towards me, write to me on thin paper & address the letter to this house "To be forwarded ;" then I will write." * * * * * ^ "Mr. Lewes was in sad condition when he set out again in search of health, but he is very well now & can make his mornings interesting by revising his Hist, of Philosophy without feeling himself helpless for the rest of the day. Several hours are filled for us by reading & talk about the war, & for a still longer time we think & dream of it. I suppose you have been to Breslau & have seen & heard much of German feeling, action, & alas, suffering. One can only hope that this is not the mere beginning of sorrows. Mr. Lewes is heartily sharing in the impulse that makes me write, & in anxious wishes that we may soon know of your full recovery." ****** "Thrice welcome ! Keep next Sunday for us, if you can, & come to lunch at % past 1. We shall not be satisfied with a small allowance of talk. Somebody may have told you that we have a house-trouble — a dear lad lying ill. But that makes our evenings all the more open for conversation, & if you can't come next Sunday & will come some evening before then, you will find affection and bring gladness." 420.

NEW JERSEY BROADSIDE (See No. 789) Fourth Session, Thursday Evening, April 6th [No. 789— Continued'] thousands of acres still remained in the hands of the Boards of East and West Jersey, and at the mercy and greed of owners which became so great by 1743, that the Legislature passed an act prohibiting the com- mon practice of stealing timber, and forbidding its exportation to neigh- boring colonies. An act passed in 1743 laying duties on logs, was applic- able to the Eastern division of the Province. The present Act passed in 1759, prohibited the unlawful cutting of timber, but did not afCect the per- sons settled within the boundaries of Elizabeth-Town Purchase and the Newark Purchase, who were at this time Plaintiffs or Defendants in any Bill in the High Court of Chancery of New Jersey, in respect to any Timber Lands.

New York : Printed by James Parker, 1752-1753 An item of excessive earity, possibly not more than ronE perfect COPIES NOW in existence. To this paper, which was edited by William Livingston, many noted men of the day contributed articles, Livingston himself wrote a series of letters in which he vigorously opposed the establishment of an Ameri- can Episcopate, and the incorporation of an Episcopal College in New York (the first attempt at founding what to-day is Columbia College). Among the others who are said to have contributed to its pages were, — Aaron Burr, President of New Jersey College, John M. Scott, William Alexander, known afterwards as Lord Sterling, and William Smith, who died while Chief-Justice of Canada. The paper was published every Thursday, and contained moral and political essays, but no news ; its attacks on men in power, by members of a literary society in and around New York ultimately gave much offence, and at the end of the year James Parker, refused to issue it, and as no other printer in New York dared to undertake the printing on account of its severe attacks, the publication was suspended. Among other articles which these numbers contain are the following, — The abuses of the Road and City Watch; Of the Importation of Men- dicant Foreigners ; A Vindication of the Moravians ; A brief consideration of New York with respect to its natural advantages ; Abuses in the practice of Law ; and many other interesting contributions. The four numbers of "The Occasional Reverberator" which accom- pany this volume, are exceedingly scarce. Evans mentions but one known copy, giving collation as 8pp, whereas there are 16pp. in all. Accompanying this volume are two letters relating to the same, one from John B. Clark, and the other from W. C.

A KEMABKABI.E MAXUSCRIPT OP A CRITIQUE, WRITTEN BY POE FOE PUB- LICATION IX HIS "Literati," contributed from month to month to "The Southern Literary Messenger." in which he praises very extravagantly "The Forsaken," one of the best known poems of Estelle Anna Lewis. At that time Miss Lewis, who Lamartine has called the "Female Plutarch." and Poe "the rival of Sappho" was still in her 'teens. "The Forsaken." of which a complete transcript in the autograph of, and signed by, Estelle Anna Lewis is with the Poe manuscript, was included among the minor poems in the "Records of the Heart" (New York, 1840), which Poe reviewed. It was not often that Poe bestowed such unstinted praise on the work Fourth Session, Thursday Evening, April 6th [Xo. ^m—Continued:] of another writer as in this case of Miss Lewis. Names greater by far than hers in American literature often felt the keen edge of his critical knife. The manuscript in part is as follows: "Among the minor poems of 'The Records' are several of exquisite pathos, subservient to a very forcible yet very refined and delicate fancy — or more properly, imagination. We must be permitted to ex- emplify our meaning by the citation of 'The Forsaken' — a poem, which, in its peculiar way, is not excelled, if equalled, by any composition, of similar length, which has ever been written by an American. There is about it a dreamy — a voluptuous melancholy — a simple, passionate and sen.suous expression of sorrow which Is perfectly irresistible : THE FORSAKEN. " 'It hath boeu said for all who die There is a tear ; Some pining, bleeding heart to sigh ( )'er every bier : But in that hour of pain and dread Who will draw near Around my humble couch and shed One farewell tear? « * * « Could I but know when I am sleeping Low in the ground, One faithful heart would there be keeping Watch all night round, As if some gem lay shrined beneath That sod's cold gloom, 'T w(3uld mitigate the pangs of Death, And light the tomb.' + * * * T "The great charm of this truly beautiful poem is the exquisite and unaffected naturalness of its thought. It is on this account that the sternest heart will be moved by it — even to tears." 861. Poems ox State Affairs.

This fijrht marked a revolution In naval warfare as complete as the revolution which aepar;ited the era of row galleys and hand-tS-hand fighting from the era of sailinc ships which relied mainly on their artillery. Of less importance, but still of great Importance, wls the fight off Lissa, Inasnirch as it was the first in which squadrons of iron-clads took pa^'t against one another; and the weaker fleet won, Tegetthoff with his own flagship, an iron-clad, sinking one of the heaviest Italian iron- clads. The HUASCAR, like all the early armored ships, was clad in iron; but modern armored vessels are sheathed in steel ,^Tr>~'-^''— ^ ■^ '^ As yet the great modern navies are in the experimental stage, just as the sailing navies of the Seventeenth Century were in the experimental stage. When DeRuytar and Tromp fought Blake and Monk the fleets on both sides consisted of alT kinds of vessels, all of which took part in the melee. Custom had not crystalized the distinction between line-of- battleships and . frigates ; indeed there were no hard-and-fast lines between the different classes of ships. Nowadays also it is difficult to draw exact lines of demarkation among the multitudinous classes of ships, for evr-ry great nation has experimented with exceptional types of craft, and every great nation is apt to build along its own particular lines.

This essay is interesting not alone as the work of an American Presi- dent, who is at the same time an American historian, but also that by reason of its subject matter and its account of various classes of battleships, (among which Roosevelt mentions the English cruisers Power- ful and Terriile,) it comes into direct relationship with present phases of the war in Europe. In the last paragraph, there is reference to the new ships building for the German navy, — ships which now, of course, are playing a waiting role in the war. The essay is inlaid with frontispiece portrait of Roosevelt, and en- gravings of the Monitor and the Merrimac, into a full blue levant volume, the front cover of which has a panel of white levant surrounded by a border of red levant, thus suggesting the colors of the American flag.

I^arge Paper cy Thoreau to a friend, on condition that the same was never to be published. The folbiwing are excerpts taking from this remarkable manuscript, tending to illustrate the writer's thoughts in connection with his defini- tion of "what is a lie?" — " . . . We are to bear in mind that whether the term is to be understood in a good or a bad sense, must depend upon the definition assigned it. As here used, it is altogether arbitrary. Mr. Dymond does not tell us that this or that is a lie . . . let us inquire first, whether a man may, under any concurable circumstances, tell a lie with- out the infraction of the moral law. May we not lie to a robber, in order to preserve our property? ... To lie, we will say, is to "utter what is true when the speaker professes to utter truth, or when he knows it is expected ))y the hearer." To lie then, in this sense, would lie immoral, because to murder, with the same view, would be immoral. It is the similarity of purpose, and not of means, which constitutes the immorality in this tase. The method of reasoning amounts, in fact, to a manifest petitio prineipis. But further, may we not tell a falsehood to a madman for his own advantage? Dymond's answer amounts to this. It would not be for his advantage, and hence would it be morally wrong to commit so Fifth Session, Friday Afternoon, April 7th ;Xo. 1031— Co III iinir, I] t-nrej;ious a lilunder. ...

A highly commendatory review of the work of Celia Thaxter's, — "The Wreck of the Pocahontas," and of the Poems by Lucy Larcom, and other writers whOL:e literary contributions up to this time consisted of articles in periodicals only. "The last Atlantic Monthly has for its second article, a poem of singular power entitled 'The Wreck of the Pocahontas.' It is from the pen of Celia Thaxter who saw what she so well descrihes, when a child living on the little rock of White Island. It is a little remarkable that some of the best contributions to our ijeriodical literature, are made by writers who have never had the good or ill fortune to publish a book, and whose names are not included in the guild of authorship. The Atlantic . . . has had nothing better than such poems as 'Hilary' & 'Skipper Ben' by Lucy Larcom, and the prose story of 'The Tenth of January,' by Eliza- beth Stuart Phelps ..." The letter transmitting the above Manuscript reads as follows, — "/ hope ther will give thij readers the Poem referred to aliore, as, apart from its great merit it has a strong local interest. If so, perhaps it might he printed, in conne.rion with mg note above." 1096. Wilde (Oscar). Eose-Leaf and Apple-Leaf. L'Envoi. 12mo, original printed wrappers, uncut.
