Rejection of Bids. Any bid which is not commensurate with the value of the article offered, or 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 injuriously. 2. The Buyer. The highest bidder shall be the buyer, and if any dispute arises between two or more bidders, the auctioneer shall either decide the same or put up for re-sale the lot so in dispute. 3. Identification 'and Deposit by Buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot shall be given im- mediately on the sale thereof, and when so required, each buyer shall sign a card giving the lot number, amount for which sold, and his or her name and address. : A deposit at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase prices as may e required. If the two foregoing conditions are not complied with, the lot or lots so purchased may at the option of the auctioneer be put up again and re-sold. 4. Risk after Purchase. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer, and thereafter neither the consignor nor the Association is responsible for the loss or any damage to any article occasioned by theft, fire, breakage or any other cause. 5. Delivery of Purchases. Delivery of any purchases will be made only upon payment of the total amount due for all purchases at the sale. 6. Receipted Bills. Goods will be delivered only on presentation of a receipted bill. A receipted bill presented by any person will be recognized and honored as an order by the buyer, directing the delivery to the bearer of the goods described thereon. If a receipted bill is lost before delivery of the property has been made, the buyer should immediately notify the Association of such loss. 7. Storage in Default of Prompt Payment and Calling for Goods. Articles not paid for in full and not called for by the purchaser or agent by noon of the day following that of the sale may be turned over by the Association to some carter to be carried to and stored in some warehouse until the time of the delivery therefrom to the purchaser, and the cost of such cartage and storage and any other charges will be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser. ; In any instance where the purchase bill has not been paid in full by noon of the day following that of the sale, the Associacion reserves the right, any other stipulation in these conditions of sale notwithstanding, in respect to any or all of lots so purchased to cancel the sale thereof or to re-sell the same at public or private sale without further notice for the account of the buyer and to hold the buyer responsible for any losses and costs sustained in so doing. 8. Shipping. Shipping, boxing or wrapping of purchases is a business in which the Association is in no wise engaged, but the Association will, however, afford to purchasers every facility for employing at current and reasonable rates carriers and packers; doing so, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 9. Guaranty. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and endeavors therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or imperfection, but guaranty is not made either by the owner or the Association of the correctness of the description, genuineness, authenticity or condition of any lot and no sale will be set aside on account of any incorrectness, error of cataloguing or im- perfection not noted or pointed out. Every lot is sold ‘‘as is’’ and without recourse. Every lot is on public exhibition one or more days prior to its sale, and the Association will give con- sideration to the opinion of any trustworthy expert to the effect that any lot has been incorrectly catalogued and in its judgment may thereafter sell the lot as catalogued or make mention of the opinion of such expert, who thereby will become responsible for such damage as might result were his opinion without foundation. 10. Records. The records of the Auctioneer and the Association are in all cases to be considered final and the highest bid shall in all cases be accepted by both buyer and seller as the value against which all claims for losses or damage shall lie. 11. Buying on Order. 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 purchases so made will be subject to the foregoing conditions of sale, except that, in the event of a purchase of a lot of one or more books by or for a purchaser who has not through himself or his agent been present at the exhibition or sale, the Association will permit such lot to be returned within ten days from os date of sale, and the purchase money will be refunded if the lot in any manner differs from its catalogue escription. Orders for execution by the Association should be given with such clearness 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 Associa- tion, a deposit must be sent or reference submitted. Shipping directions should also be given. Priced Catalogues. Priced copies of the catalogue, or any session thereof, will be furnished by the Association at charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying the necessary information from the records of the Association. No person other than the auctioneer or an official of the Association is authorized to arrange conditions of sale different in any way from those herein contained.

An exceedingly interesting 3pp. 4to, Autograph Letter, written in his small hand (the signature, unfortunately, missing) to his life-long friend, Hon. Charles Wilkes, reading in part: ‘As for Miss Wright (I thought her sister was dead in America), she was here a short lime since, and may be so still. I have not seen Lafayette since I got your letter, nor in- deed any one else who could tell me. I saw her once, about three months ago, at one of Lafayette’s receptions. She looked haggard and much changed for the worse, I thought, but I never knew her personally. She excited much attention on account of her appear- ance, and the women avoided her. I should have spoken to her had I known her previously, but I did not like to seek an introduction, under the circumstances, as it would have been disrespectful to Mrs. Cooper, who was present. I do not think she repeated her visit though I doubt not Lafayette sees her in private. It is my opinion that the old man has been a good deal hunted this winter by sundry elderly ladies, who would fain attach the stride of their charms to his great name, but his tastes are as juvenile as at twenty. That Lafayette has been outmanoeuvred by the party which surrounds the King, I take to be beyond a doubt. . . . There is strong discontent among all the military men in France. . . . My next neighbor is the Duc de Vilmy, the son of the Maréchal, and he who made the famous charge at Marengo. . . . I have a book in press, to be called ‘‘The Bravo,” I think, but I am not decided. The scene ts Venice, which seized my fancy last spring in a manner not to be spoken of. . . . While troubling you with my several affairs, I may as well add here, that I have sold two new books to Messrs. Carey & Lea for $09,000. They will be instructed to pay you as usual, and the whole will come within the next twelve months, I trust. . . . If you should come to Europe and live three years, you would go back with the best possible opinion not only of our institutions, but of the men who are in power. Both are so much better than what one sees here, that 1t puts an American into perfect good humor with himself.”’ All of the letters are exceptionally fine and interesting. The Cooper letter, a very small portion of which is quoted above, is one of the most interesting Cooper letters in existence. gt. BRycE (JAMES, Lorp).

The importance of the document will be manifest upon a perusal of the manuscript here PRINTED IN FULL: ‘“*To the Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylva. “Gentlemen: ‘It affords me the most sensible pleasure to be informed that my accession to the Chief Magistracy of the United States has met the approbation of my fellow citizens in general, and particularly that of the Judges of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. “Your recapitulation of the deliverance, in which Almighty God hath been pleased, in some sort, to make use of me as his instrument, ought only to awaken my deepest gratitude for his mercies in the time past, and an humble reliance on them for the time to come. ‘‘ Feeling how greatly I shall stand in need of the patriotic assistance of every good Citizen of America, the confidence they continue to express in the rectitude of my dispositions, will always be, as it ever has been, an unfailing source of consolation to me, in every hour of difficulty or distress. While the whole course of my past conduct will be a better security for my future transactions, than any verbal assurances I can give, I will only say that I should find myself singularly happy in contributing to realize the glorious work, which your partiality for me has been indulgent enough to anticipate, of establishing Justice, insuring Tranquility, promoting the general welfares, and insuring the blessings of Liberty & Independence to the good people of our native Country, and their latest posterity. ‘“‘T intreat you to be persuaded, Gentlemen, that, although it was with the utmost difficulty I could prevail upon myself to enter again on the stage of Public Life, yet, since I have done it, the unequivocal encouragement of support, given by the most respectable citizens and magistrates, will tend very much to remove my embarrass- ments, and, I hope, to open the way for a prosperous Administration, [Signed] Go.
