A COLLECTOR'S LIFE-WORK. 
 
 JAMES HUTCHINSON BROWN, who brought together the great 
 theatrical collection which bears his name, was an interesting example of 
 what can be accomplished by a steadfast devotion to any subject. Born in 
 Boston a few years after it had attained the dignity of a city, the son of a 
 Boston business man, Mr. Brown was educated at the old Fort Hill school 
 and entered on a mercantile career. Early in life he took a fancy to the stage 
 and its players ; his brother, Benjamin King Brown, was an actor, at one time 
 connected with the National Theatre here, and Mr. Brown himself, though en- 
 grossed in business, lived at the Pemberton House, a hotel in Howard Street 
 much affected by the theatrical profession, where he met many of the most 
 famous players of the day. He early began to collect play-bills, books re- 
 lating to the stage, autograph letters and other souvenirs of actors and 
 dramatists. So interested did he become in the subject that he resolved to 
 retire from business as soon as he had acquired a certain sum, not by any 
 means large, and devote himself to collecting. Accordingly some twenty-five 
 years ago he sold out his interest in the Grover & Baker Sewing Machine 
 Company, with which he had been long connected, and satisfied with a modest 
 competency, for the remainder of his life gave his entire time and attention 
 to his entertaining hobby. He died at Maiden, a suburb of Boston, where for 
 many years he had made his home, on June 24, 1897. 
 
 The enormous selection of dramatic matter which he brought together is 
 the largest ever sold in Boston. Indeed, the collection is so vast that only twice 
 or thrice times before has such an immense mass of rare theatrical material 
 been disposed of in this country, for Mr. Brown was untiring in his endeavors 
 to add to his treasures, devoting all his energies and a large portion of his 
 means to gathering together material that related in any way to the theatre. 
 For years he patiently and persistently sought for autographs and play-bills, 
 not only in this but in foreign countries. In consequence he was brought into 
 contact with many of the famous players and singers of the past thirty years, 
 who aided him in his search and added many valuable mementoes to his ever- 
 increasing store. All the actors of the " old school " corresponded with him, 
 and from them he was constantly receiving information in regard to stage 
 matters which the public had long since forgotten, but which he treasured 
 until the time when some question arose about old-time theatricals, and then, 
 with his play-bills and his letters, he could usually settle once and for all the 
 disputed point, for no one ever questioned his decisions. His information in 
 regard to the Boston of half a century ago — its public men, its theatres, its 
 halls taverns, even stores and dwellings — was encyclopaedic, as was shown by 
 the numerous articles which he contributed to the Boston Transcript under 
 the signature of J * H * B * . For some years he also wrote for the 
 New York Clipper on theatrical matters. His short humorous poems are 
 
 (iii) 
 
trifles that he hardly expected to live, but many of his songs, nearly all of 
 which were set to music, show true poetic feeling. He was the author or a 
 farce " Katrina's Little Game." 
 
 To describe the collection in detail would be impossible, but a few figures 
 will give some idea of its extent. There are about three thousand volumes 
 relating to the stage, twenty-five hundred autograph letters and about one 
 hundred and eighty thousand play-bills. Then there are prints and pho- 
 tographs of actors, oil paintings, framed programmes, water colors ana oaas 
 and ends of curious theatrical memorabilia. The amount of patience, persever- 
 ance and time, to say nothing of money, necessary to accomplish such a result 
 is enough to appall an ordinary mortal. But Mr. Brown was a true collector, 
 with all the enthusiasm that the term implies, and thoroughly enjoyed hunting 
 for a rare book or autograph letter to add to his store. 
 
 The books form one of the most interesting parts of the catalogue, for 
 they are more readily described than either letters or play bills. Here are all 
 the standard stage histories, including Genest's great work, Ireland s "Re- 
 cords " and Blake's "Providence Stage," while in dramatic biography the 
 library seems exhaustless, for not only are all the well-known lives of players 
 included, but also short pamphlet sketches of actors not commonly found, 
 such as Elwyn A. Barron's " Lawrence Barrett," B. B's " Edwin Forrest," and 
 the " Memoir of Aldridge." Many of the books are extra-illustrated and ex- 
 tended by the addition of play bills, autograph letters and prints, the last in- 
 laid by Mr. Brown himself. Indeed, a glance at the catalogue will serve to 
 show that there are but few of the most valuable books without extra matter 
 laid in, for their owner had such an endless store of letters and programmes 
 that he could easily add a few of each to such books as struck his fancy. Thus 
 to put in Winter's " Life and Art of Edwin Booth " twenty-four autograph let- 
 ters signed of prominent players, fifteen play bills and numerous pictures, 
 while depleting his store but little, adds greatly to the interest of the book. 
 And it is remarkable how many odd prints and memoranda relating to the 
 subject matter of a book he could find to insert. Many of the volumes have 
 interesting manuscript notes of former owners, and scattered through the 
 library will be found books from famous collections, notably that of Burton. 
 Then there are numerous examples of limited editions and some privately 
 printed works, also a few large paper copies, some exceedingly scarce, as for 
 instance Hutton's " Plays and Players," of which only twenty-five were struck 
 on large paper, and those were for a private collector. There are quite a num- 
 ber of books on pugilism and on so-called " fast-life," some trials, and numer- 
 ous volumes which can only be classed as " curious." 
 
 The autograph letters really form a collection by themselves. They 
 are entirely from actors and actresses, singers and others celebrated for their 
 connection with the stage, many of them, particularly those relating to the old 
 Boston stage, being of the greatest rarity. In most instances each letter is ac- 
 companied with one or more portraits of the writer, where they have been ob- 
 tainable, these pictures being as a rule scarce — valuable play-bills in which 
 the writer's name appears also accompany the letters, and generally, where 
 the portrait is in character, one or more of the bills chronicle the writer's ap- 
 pearance in that part. Besides all this, in nearly every instance there are in- 
 cluded with the letter, portraits and play-bills, numerous interesting clippings 
 from papers, books and magazines relating to the writer, many of them con- 
 temporary. The letters have, with few exceptions, been left in the original 
 wrappers in which their owner placed them. These wrappers bear Mr. Brown's 
 comments, which are often entertaining, and exhibit his personality as pages of 
 description would fail to do. 
 
 There are several series of letters from actors and managers, some cover- 
 ing a period of several years, which are interesting on account of the valuable 
 information they contain of stage affairs of the past. With the autographs 
 
 (iv) 
 
are such curiosities as old Tremont Theatre forfeit-books, prompt-books used 
 by Edwin Forrest rilled with manuscript annotations, and legal contracts 
 and agreements between actors and managers. Of the letters themselves it 
 may be said that many of them give an insight into theatrical matters that 
 could never be gathered from books, and that there are more than the usual 
 number that contain the solemn injunction to destroy as soon as read. 
 
 The wonderful collection of play-bills is probably the finest ever made in 
 this country. Mr. Brown himself did not know how many he owned, but, as 
 stated before, there are about one hundred and eighty thousand. A better 
 idea may be gained of this enormous mass when it is known that it proved a 
 good load for two horses. These play-bills were brought together singly and 
 in quantities, as their owner happened to find them. On one day he would 
 hear of a man in Albany that had a rare Junius Brutus Booth bill, and would 
 order it at once ; the next, he would receive word that a dealer in Liverpool 
 had a file of several thousand programmes, and immediately instructions 
 would be sent to forward them. His largest purchase at one time was nine- 
 teen thousand play-bills. 
 
 Several of his most important acquisitions related to the Boston stage, 
 and the programmes of the play houses of this city are among Hie most inter- 
 esting features of the collection. 
 
 He had a remarkable faculty for ferreting out rare bills with an ease that 
 made him the envy of other collectors. Did one want, for example, a genuine 
 bill of the night of Lincoln's assassination, (not the bogus programme so of ten 
 reproduced in magazines and hung in clubs and theatres) he would find a copy 
 when others failed. If a bill of the great Mr. Garrick or the fascinating Mis- 
 tress Wofnngton was wanted, the inquirer would be referred at once to the 
 Maiden collector, who would succeed in supplying his wants. Writers of 
 books about the theatre, or players who wished to obtain data about their own 
 careers, turned to him for information, and many a disputed point in regard to 
 a cast or a date was settled on the authority of his programmes. A large num- 
 ber of the rare play-bills which adorn the walls of the home ol The Players 
 in New York, presented by Edwin Booth, were purchased by that actor from 
 Mr. Brown. 
 
 These play-bills will call up many pleasant recollections to the old theatre 
 goer, while the present generation will have an object-lesson in what pro- 
 grammes should be, as a large part of the collection relates to the time before 
 the " bill of the play " had degenerated into an advertising pamphlet. The 
 gentle Elia, with his fondness for the theatre, saw in the leaflet that preserved 
 the cast of " Twelfth Night " the link that bound him to the play-loving days 
 of his youth, and with this old play-bill as a text he opens in one of his essays 
 a pleasant retrospect which touches many a heart. An old play-bill speaks 
 with an eloquence all its own to the true lover of the theatre, calling up from 
 the past many a forgotten actor or character in the drama, and in the vast 
 number here brought together, representing the theatre in every part of the 
 English-speaking world, even the most thoughtless play-goer will find some- 
 thing to interest and amuse. 
 
 In the scattering broadcast of such an immense collection of theatrical 
 material there is the natural regret that it could not be kept intact to serve fu- 
 ture stage historians and biographers as it has done in the past. It is not at 
 all unlikely, however, from what is known of the owner's wishes, that he looked 
 on his possessions like the Boston collector who had a library of rare dramatic 
 books in which he was greatly interested. A friend asked him if the thought 
 that some day he must leave behind forever the precious volumes which he 
 had gathered with so much care never made him sorrowful. " Oh, no ! " was 
 the candid reply; " I shall be perfectly happy in the next world, wherever my 
 abode, if I can only know that my books are well catalogued and that they 
 bring good prices at the sale. " J- **• Clapp.

 Very facetious, contains her amours with Lord Melbourne and 
 others of notoriety. With portrait in character inserted. 
 
 " A very beautiful woman with a bad character. She married the 
 well known actor, Baddeley, and was by him introduced to the 
 theatre, where she became very popular. Her amours are, however, 
 more interesting than her acting. She died, a prey to drink, disease 
 and want in Edinburgh about 1784. 
 
 Her memoirs, which are stated to be written by Mrs. Elizabeth 
 Steele, were, I believe, really compiled by A. Bicknell. They are 
 neither well done nor improving in tone, but are now rather scarce. "

 1539 Prynne. The Defence of Stage-Play; or, a Retraction

 100 copies reprinted and not for sale, 1822. The " Histrio- 
 Mastix," of which the above is a " retractation," is one of the most 
 extraordinary works ever written. For its publication, it is well 
 known, the author was sentenced by the Star-Chamber to pay a fine 
 of £5,000 to the King, to be degraded from his profession of the law, 
 and to lose his ears in the pillory. The severity of this sentence has 
 been accounted for from the fact that Prynne, in his severe strictures 
 against " Women Actors," is supposed to have reflected on Queen 
 Henrietta, who it appears had performed in some Court Masque. 
 In it he quote 55 Synods and Councils, 71 Fathers, 150 Catholic 
 and Protestant authors, 40 Heathen Philosophers, besides very nu- 
 merous other writers.

 Republicans, officers, soldiers, sectaries, heretofore or 
 now engaged in the prosecution of this misintituled 
 good old cause, from any future pursute thereof and 
 engage them forever to abominate it, as apparently 
 tending to publike ruin, their own temporal and enter- 
 nal condemnation, infamy, our religious reproach in 
 present and succeeding ages. pp. 18. Small 4 half
