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 resale the lot soin dispute. 3. Identification and Part Payment by Buyer. The name of the buyer of each lot shall be given immediately 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. Payment at the actual time of the sale shall be made of all or such part of the purchase prices as may be 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 resold. 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 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. Deliveries will be made at the place of sale or at the Storage warehouse to which purchases may have been removed. Deliveries at the American Art Galleries will be made only between the hours of nine a. m. and one p. m. on sales’ days and on other days—except holidays, when no deliveries will be made—between the hours of nine a. m. and five p. m. Deliveries at places of sale other than the American Art Galleries will be made only during the forenoon following the day of sale unless by special notice or arrangement to the contrary. Deliveries at the Storage warehouse to which goods may have been sent will be made on any day other than holidays between the hours of nine and five. Deliveries of any purchases of small articles likely to be lost or mislaid may be made at the discretion of the auctioneer during the session of the sale at which they were sold. 6. Storage in Default of Prompt Payment and Calling for Goods. Articles not paid for in full and either not called for by the purchaser or delivered upon his or her order by noon of the day following that of the sale will 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 will be charged against the purchaser and the risk of loss or damage occasioned by such removal or storage will be upon the purchaser. Norte: The limited space of the Delivery Rooms of the Association makes the above require- ments necessary, and it is not alone for the benefit of the Association, but also for that of its pa- trons, whose goods otherwise would have to be so crowded as to be subject to damage and loss. 7. 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, however, without any assumption of responsibility on its part for the acts and charges of the parties engaged for such service. 8. Guaranty. The Association exercises great care to catalogue every lot correctly and endeavours therein and also at the actual time of sale to point out any error, defect or imperfec- tion, 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 imperfection 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 consideration 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. 9. Buying on Order. Buying or bidding by the Association for responsible parties on orders transmitted 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 purchases consisting of one or more books for one who has not himself or through his agent been personally at the exhibition or sale, any book may be re- turned within ten days of the date of sale and the purchaser will be refunded the purchase money therefor, if the book 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 be also 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 charges commensurate with the duties involved in copying the necessary information from the records of the Association.

(Southwark, London: Peter Treveris, circa 1521] [See Frontispiece for Illustration] Although this book has neither title-page, date, printer’s name, or place of publi- cation, it is well known to be the Second Edition of Arnold’s Chronicle, printed by Peter Treveris about 1521. The First Edition was printed at Antwerp in 1503. EXCEEDINGLY FINE Copy, COMPLETE AND UNUSUALLY LARGE, measuring 934 by 7 inches. The blank leaves at beginning and end are lacking, the text of last leaf and of several other leaves has been almost invisibly inlaid, but otherwise, a wonderfully fresh, clean copy, with the three original leaves from the first edition inserted, con- taining the first known printing of the famous old English ballad, “The Nut-Browne Maid, which is printed on folios N 6, 07 and o ii, in both editions, these leaves in the First Edition being numbered, folios Ixxv, Ixxvi and Ixxvii. ARNOoLD’s “Chronicle” is best known because this old ballad is first preserved on its pages. The fact that the PRESENT Copy CONTAINS BOTH THE FIRST AND SECOND PRINTING OF THE BALLAD MAKES IT DOUBLY VALUABLE AND INTERESTING. This curious old work, fcr which the name “Chronicle” is a misleading title, it being rather a “Commonplace Book,” contains a list of the London sheriffs, a guide for _ writing business letters, a list of the London churches, recipes for making inks, anda variety of other miscellaneous information, and in the midst of this, with no apparent reason for its appearance is printed, “The Nut-Browne Maid.
