Any bid which is merely a nominal or fractional advance may be rejected by the auctioneer, if, in his judgment, such bid would be likely to affect the sale in- juriously. 2. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arise between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either. decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 3. Payment shall be made of all or such part of the purchase money as may be required, and the names and addresses of the purchasers shall be given immediately on the sale of every lot, in default of which the lot so purchased shall be immediately put up again and re-sold. Payment of that part of the purchase money not made at the time of sale, shall be made within ten days thereafter, in default of which the undersigned may either continue to hold the lots at the risk of the purchaser and take such action as may be necessary for the enforcement of the sale, or may at public or private sale, and without other than this notice, re-sell the lots for the benefit of such pur- chaser, and the deficiency (if any) arising from such re-sale, shall be a charge against such purchaser. 4. Delivery of any purchase will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. Deliveries will be made on sales days between the hours of 9 A. M. and 1 P. M., and on other days—except holidays—between the hours of 9 A. M. and 5 P. M. Delivery of any purchase will be made only at the American Art Galleries, or other place of sale, as the case may be, and only on presenting the bill of purchase. Delivery may be made, at the discretion of the Association, of any purchase during the session of the sale at which it was sold. 5. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, and will not be performed by the Association for purchasers. The Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, how- ever, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 6. Storage of any purchase shall be at the sole risk of the purchaser. ‘Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter, while the Asso- ciation will exercise due caution in caring for and delivering such purchase, it will not hold itself responsible if such purchase be lost, stolen, damaged or destroyed. Storage charges will be made upon all purchases not removed within ten days from the date of the sale thereof. 7. Guarantee is not made either by the owner or the Association of the cor- rectness of the description, genuineness or authenticity of any lot, and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing, or any imper- fection not noted. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, after which it is sold “as is” and without recourse. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly, and will give consideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued, and, in its judgment, may either sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert who thereby would become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion with- out proper foundation. SPECIAL NOTICE. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders trans- mitted to it by mail, telegraph or telephone, will be faithfully attended to without charge or commission. Any purchase so made will be subject to the above Condi- tions of Sale, which cannot in any manner be modified. The Association, however, in the event of making a purchase of a lot consisting of one or more books for a purchaser who has not, through himself or his agent, been present at the exhibition or sale, will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from the date of sale, and the purchase money will be returned, if the lot in any material manner differs from its catalogue description. ‘ Orders for execution by the Association should be written and given with such plainness as to leave no room for misunderstanding. Not only should the lot number be given, but also the title, and bids should be stated to be so much for the lot, and when the lot consists of one or more volumes of books or objects of art, the bid per volume or piece should also be stated. If the one transmitting the order is unknown to the Association, a deposit should be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. Priced copies of the catalogue of any sale, or any session thereof, will be furnished by the Association at a reasonable charge.

I shall be most happy to pay him out of my own purse fifty dollars a week during the engagement and I have no doubt that a like sum paid by you would secure his services. ; “In answer to your question why I have not performed at the Park Theatre, listen: Mr. Price to swit his own purposes chose to infer that I could quit the profession this year and so engaged the best of the season to foreigners and to the exclusion of all native historians. I always take pleasure in welcoming to our shores any exotic talent but certainly not to the entire exclusion of that which is ‘native once to the manner born.’ I went to the National Theatre where I was offered my own time. “As for Maywood he did not offer me an engagement of cowrse as you must be aware that the arrangements of the Chestnut St. theatre are made in subservience to the wishes expressed or implied of the Park managers. Perhaps however his anti-republican principles were so shocked at my consenting to deliver a fourth of July oration before the democracy of New York that he determined to punish me for my offence by excluding me from the Chestnut Street Theatre. But what- ever motives officiated with him or. others, thanks to the ‘ual people’ I have so far been going on swimmingly. — “Last night my benefit was between $1400 and 1500.” Pe PAA re Dy PO DEM Mane Om DAVID GARRICK A.L.S., 4pp. To his brother [No. 487] Second Session, Friday Evening, January 25th 436.

This identical letter is quoted in one of Lowe’s notes to Nimmo’s edition of “Doran’s Annals of the Stage,” and reads in part, as follows,— “I cannot send you any money—for the best of all possible reasons. I have none to send, for the first time in my Theatrical career. Dublin has been a failure, & I depend entirely on Monday night (my benefit ) to pay my tavern bill, & take my journey to Chalway—by the com- pletion of my Irish engagements, my hands I hope will be replenished, & I trust the Law business concluded, & I wow d much rather pay all at once—than divide my bills—by tedious instalments. I cannot under- stand your term of better than we have a right to expect! TI think we have a right to expect everything, & the more I consider the matter, the more I am convinced I shall turn the accusers to infamy & con- tempt. I again repeat what they advance against me is false! (I mean with regard to letters) it is a tale invented to alarm you, & I own I am sorry to preceive, they appear to be successful. Most of the ques- tions you ask me, I thought I had answered before, tis a devil of a task—but here goes & first about money. My recollection does not serve me to tell all the sums—he has borrowed of me, & unfortunately they are too small to be made public—such as 5 and 10£ dc. but the most material was the 10£ he borrowed last of Salisbury the morning after his accusation, the pistol business &e, &c. the same morning that they Reynolds saw him depart in perfect harmony with me & my money paid for his journey to London.—I do not remember the name of the Inn, perhaps Reynolds can assist you in this.
