TN the Preface of the Catalogue of Part I of the Robert
Hoe Library it was said, " The sale will be an event of
unprecedented importance." Such it proved to be, and the
highest expectations were surpassed. Slightly more than
3,500 titles — about one-fourth of the entire collection — were
sold for nearly one million dollars, or more than four times
the largest amount ever received for an entire library in all
the history of book-sales by auction ; and nearly all prices
exceeded previous records.
The sale, in the new Anderson Galleries, beginning on
April 24, 1911, and concluding on the afternoon of May 5th,
was attended by collectors of world-wide fame and by rep-
resentative buyers from England, France, Germany, and
the United States. The interest of the general public was
aroused to an extraordinary degree by the importance of
the collection, the large attendance, the eagerness of the
buyers, and the elaborate reports, many of them illustrated,
in the daily newspapers of the principal American cities.
In methods and environment, new standards were estab-
lished by the Anderson Company at the sale, and the books
and manuscripts which, coming from a hundred cities, had
gone, one by one, through half a century, into Mr. Hoe's
wonderful collection, were distributed in less than a month
to collectors in all parts of the world.
The authenticity of the Hoe books and manuscripts can-
not be emphasized too strongly. Many of them came into
his collection through the hands of dealers of long experi-
ence and established reputation who gave their personal
guarantees to Mr. Hoe. Many others came from the great
libraries which, during his long and active career as a col-
lector, were sold here and abroad; and as these contained
the treasures of still older collections, the greatest books of
centuries thus came into his possession, each with a well-
authenticated history of its own. And of Mr. Hoe himself
it must be said that, with his long experience, his pride in
his collection, his ability to command the services of emi-
nent authoritiies, and his acknowledged taste and wonderful
knowledge of the bibliographical points of books, he would
have been quick to detect and resent an imposition.
The Second Part of the Hoe Library contains almost as
many important, interesting and rare items as the first. The
indices at the end of this catalogue give a chronological list
of American history and literature, a list of Incunabula,
and an analysis of the remarkable bindings; and these will
be of great service to those who are in search of the rarest
items. The following notes may be of service also:
MANUSCI^IPTS: Many very remarkable examples of Missals
and Horse were sold in Part I of the Library, and another
large selection is now offered, representing various styles,
schools, and periods and illustrating the art of manuscript
illumination from the Thirteenth Century. Most of them
are in immaculate condition. On a Latin manuscript of th&
second part of the Fifteenth Century the arms of King
Matthias Corvinus of Hungary are painted, and it is prob-
able that the manuscript was executed for him. An Italian
manuscript of the latter part of the same centurj^ was exe-
cuted for Pasquale Diaz Garlon, Castellano of Napoli. A
manuscript of 446 leaves with 131 fine ornamental initials
painted in colors, is a beautiful and interesting manuscript
of the Vulgate, and was executed in the Thirteenth Cen-
tury. A translation of Boccaccio written on vellum in 1409
will attract the attention of the experts, for illuminated
manuscripts of a secular character are very rare.
A French manuscript of 136 leaves written in the Fif-
teenth Century, with four large miniatures, is very un-
usual also. A book of Hours, containing 187 leaves, is one
of the most beautiful manuscripts executed in the North-
east of France ; a Spanish inscription shows that it had been
examined by the Inquisition. A magnificent manuscript of
great value, in Gothic characters on vellum, is embellished
with thirty-nine miniatures. Another very beautiful
manuscript is that executed in the Fifteenth Century for
the second wife of Jean II, Due de Bourbon ; the large
miniatures recall the best work of Jean Foucquet, and one
of them, representing the Virgin crowned as a queen and
attended by angels, administering the sacrament to St. Avia,
is of extraordinary interest. A manuscript of 238 leaves;
another with paintings remarkable for architectural details,
vigorous drawings, and beauty of color; a third of 171
leaves, executed for Cornells Crosinck, lieutenant-forester
of Holland, superb in every detail; two manuscripts by
Nicolas Jarry; two Arabic manuscripts on native glazed
paper, and a Persian manuscript on 418 leaves embellished
with full-page miniature paintings are among the great
treasures of this collection. The famous Touraine Missal
will command the closest attention of collectors. It is a
superb Missal; and the miniatures, remarkable for correct-
ness of design, execution, and coloring, must be numbered
among the best productions of the School of Touraine.
BINDINGS: Mr. Hoe's appeciation of fine bindings is well
known, and many hundred bindings of artistic and his-
torical importance and of wonderful association interest
are found in his collection. Nearly two hundred appear in
this sale. Many of these are catalogued under the general
heading of Bindings and the others appear under authors.
Nearly all the famous binders of the world are represented,
as shown by the index at the end of the catalogue, and
usually by many examples of their finest work.
No doubt the most wonderful binding in this sale is that
on L'Imitation de Jesus Christ printed in Paris in 1690
(No. 245). The great artist in leather who executed it was
Monnier, who took such pride in this exhibition of his skill
that he signed the binding in no less than six places.
In this section of the Library are rare volumes bearings
the arms of Queen Marie Antoinette, Queen Marie de
Medicis, Queen Henriette Maria, and the Queen of Louis
XV, and any one of these volumes would add distinction
to the finest library. Several volumes bear the arms of
Madame de Pompadour, another was presented to Anna of
Austria, a third is supposed to have been bound for Marie
Marguerite de Valois de Saint-Remy. One volume was
beautifully bound for Henry III of France, another for
Louis XIII and his Queen, and a third for Louis XV. One
book bears the arms of Napoleon I, another the arms of
Pope Clement XI, a third the arms of Pope Benedict XIII,
and on the fourth is the monogram of Cardinal Emanuel
of Savoy. Other volumes were bound for Louis XIII,
Louis XIV, Francis I, Charles I of England, Henry IV of
France, and Henry HI. A book of great interest is the
Aristotle printed in Paris in 1554 and bound in England
for Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, the favorite of Queen
Elizabeth. The Aldine Theophrastus printed in Venice
in 1497 came from the library in the Chateau of Anet of
Henry II and Diana de Poictiers, and is a wonderfully fine
example. Munster's La Cosmographie Universelle, printed
in 1556, is in contemporary French binding, and the gilt
medallions of Henry II of France commemorate his wars.
Several Bibles, old and rare, are in bindings made 300 and
350 years ago. A particularly desirable item is No. 188, in
a contemporary English binding embroidered in gold and
silver.
INCUNABULA: In early printed books the Hoe LibrarjMs
remarkably rich. In the first Hoe sale the Gutenberg
Bible on vellum, the first book printed from movable type,
sold for $50,000, or more than twice the highest price ever
paid up to that time for a single book. In this sale a copy
is offered of the same Bible on paper, perfect and genuine
throughout. The Hoe copy is one of the few with portions
printed in red. It is handsomely bound by Mercier.
Another book of extraordinary interest is " Communyca-
cyon Bytwene God and Man," printed in London by
Wynken de Worde about 1499. This copy seems to be
utterly unknown to bibliographers. Still another book
that will attract the attention of the collectors is the first
edition of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, printed at West-
minster by William Caxton about 1477, being the fourth
or fifth book printed in England. There is a record of
eleven copies, of which only two, one in the British
Museum and the other at Merton College, Oxford, are
perfect. Undoubtedly the Hoe copy is the best that will
ever be offered for sale. A Caxton of very great impor-
tance is the Polycronicon, which Caxton himself translated.
Mr. Hoe's copy is absolutely perfect, except that three
blank leaves are missing. The only two copies comparable
with it are in public libraries, and will never come on
the market. The Pliny, printed on vellum by Jenson at
Venice in 1476, is another remarkable book and is in im-
maculate condition. The Rerum Venetarum of Sabellicus,
printed at Venice in 1487 with the Jenson types, is not only
one of the four known copies, but is the copy that was pre-
sented to Doge Marco Barbarigo, whose arms, painted in
gold and colors, appear on the first page.
Special attention should be called to the Chronicle of
England, printed at St. Albans in 1483. It is an excessively
rare book> only about eight copies being known, all but one
imperfect. The defect in the Hoe copy has been remedied,
«o far as possible, by the insertion of twenty-seven leaves
in facsimile; there are 260 genuine leaves, and it is ex-
tremely doubtful if a better copy will ever be offered.
Lack of space prevents further reference to the great num-
ber of early printed books.
EARLY ENGLISH LITERATURE: This department was Mr.
Hoe's great specialty and his Library contained a large
number of exceedingly rare volumes. The Venus and
Adonis now offered is an extraordinary item ; it is in the
original vellum binding, and the only other copy known i&
in the British Museum. The only perfect copy of Queen
Elizabeth's Prayer Book, London 1569, is in Lambeth
Palace and for many years was supposed to be unique.
The Hoe copy is in remarkable condition. Too much can-
not be said in praise of the copy of Milton's Paradise Lost,
also in this sale. It is not only the exceedingly rare first
issue of the first edition with the title-page in its first state,
but it is in the original binding, the condition of which is
remarkably fine. The first English edition of Froissart's
Chronicles was printed in London in 1525 and the Hoe copy
is one of the finest in existence. Fisher's Treatise, printed
by Wynken de Worde in 1508, the first edition, is exceed-
ingly rare, and the second edition, which is equally rare, is
likewise in fine condition. Of Lydgate's translation of the
history of Troy, printed by Pynson in London in 1513, one
authority has said that no perfect copy was known. The
Hoe copy, however, is genuine, fresh, and perfect through-
out. Another remarkable book is Middleton's political
play, A Game at Chesse, printed in 1625; only two copies
are known, and as one of these is in the University Library
at Cambridge the present opportunity to purchase is prob-
ably the last that collectors will ever have.
Mr. Hoe's collection of Walton was unusually fine. The
catalogue contains no less than forty-nine titles of books
by Isaac Walton and Walton and Cotton. Mr. Hoe's copies
of the first five editions of the Angler are tall and attractive.
Spenser's Complaints, London 1591, seems to be one of two
copies. The Faerie Queen, 1595-1596, is a very important
copy, embracing the second edition of the first part and the
first edition of the second, and bound with it is the first
edition of Colin Clout. This was John Evelyn's copy and
contains on the fly-leaf seventeen lines in his autograph.
Reference should be made also to Arnold's Chronicle,
printed at Antwerp about 1503, a perfect copy of the first
edition. Many very important Shakespeare items were in
the first sale and others are offered now.
LATER ENGLISH LITERATURE : Many exceedingly rare and
interesting items will be found in this department. Gold-
smith's Good Natured Man, Deserted Village, and Haunch
of Venison, and his comedy, She Stoops to Conquer, are in
this sale and all of them are first editions. An uncut first
edition of Goldsmith's Enquiry contains an autograph let-
ter from the author to his publisher. Goldsmith's Citizen
and his Life of Nash are first editions also. The Traveler
is the second issue of the first edition ; another copy,
printed in the same year but with variations, is a presenta-
tion copy " with the author's best esteem." The Hoe copy
of the Vicar of Wakefield is of extraordinary interest, for
it is not only the earliest issue of the rare first edition and
in the original calf but is a presentation copy with Gold-
smith's inscription. The choicest Pope item is an uncut
copy of the very rare first issue of the Dunciad. A copy
of the second issue is followed in this sale by a copy of the
second edition, and by eleven other early editions. One of
these is a presentation copy with Pope's inscription. The
most interesting Sterne item is the large paper copy of the
first edition of the Sentimental Journey. Mr. Hoe thought
there were only three copies of the first edition of Gulliver's
Travels on large paper; his own copy contains the portrait
in the first state. William Blake's Songs of Innocence,
•colored by his own hand, is the copy he gave to his physi-
cian.
AMERICANA: Even the most successful collectors of books
relating to early America will find extraordinary items in
this sale, some of which are not likely to be offered again.
The first edition of the complete account of the four voy-
ages of Vespuccius is one of the four known copies. The
Hoe copy is the only one ever owned by an American, and
the other copies have permanent resting places in national
libraries abroad. Three other Vespuccius items appear in
this sale. Smith's History of Virginia is on large paper
and is an early issue of the first edition. Mr. Hoe believed
it to be the dedication copy to the Duchess of Richmond.
The maps and portraits are remarkably fine. The True
Travels by Smith will be sold also; it is a first edition and
a large copy. The Christopher Colombus Letter of 1493 is
the first dated edition. De Bry's Grand Voyages fill thirteen
folio volumes and all the parts are first editions. The
French version of the first part of the voyages, exceedingly
rare, is in brilliant and perfect condition. Mr. Hoe's copy
of Horsmanden's Negro Plot is the rare first edition, uncut.
The Hoe copy of the laws, statutes, and ordinances of
the City of New York is one of four copies, the other three
being in public libraries, and it is of exceptional interest.
Morton's New England Memorial, printed in 1669, was
John Evelyn's copy and later the Lefferts copy. Morton's
New England Canaan is another very rare book. This sale
will also include three King Philip's War Narratives, all
uncut and undoubtedly the finest copies in existence.
Another extraordinary item is Filson's Kentucky. It is
the only copy with the Philadelphia map that has ever
been offered for sale by auction, and three lines in the
autograph of Daniel Boone add to its interest and value.
The Cedulario of Puga is the first printed collection of
Mexican laws. The Chronica of Amandus contains three
epistles from Mexico, one of which ends with a sentence in
Mexican, so that this volume, printed in 1534, gives the first
appearance of an American language in print. A complete
set of the tracts of Las Casas, all first editions, form
another great nugget in this library. The first edition of
Lederer's Discoveries, Beste's Discourse, Bullock's Vir-
ginia, Byfield's New England, and Gray's Virginia are rare
and highly important books. Van Der Donck's quarto,
published in 1650, is the most important work on the
history of New Netherlands up to that time; this is the
Brinlej" copj^ Five years later the Beschryvinge Van
Nieuw Nederlant was printed, contai)iing the second en-
graved view of New York.
FI^ENCH BOOKS constitute a very large part of the Hoe
Library and the demand for such books as he selected —
mainly classics in handsome bindings — is rapidly increasing
in this country and abroad. Les Troys Premiers Livres de
I'Historie de Diodore Sicilien, 1535, printed on vellum, is
extremely rare; the Hoe copy once belonged to the grand-
uncle of Henry IV ; it contains a wood-cut which is regarded
as Tory's masterpiece. Princesses de Jade et de Jadis is a
unique copy, comprising fifty-eight original water colors by
Lorant-Heilbroun. Les Amours Pastorales de Daphnis et
Chloe, Paris 1731, is probably the only copy on vellum. The
same work published sixteen years later contains twenty-
eight plates, engraved after Philippe d'Orleans, and is one of
the twelve copies on vellum. Le Romant de la Rose by Lorris
and Meung, printed at Lyons in 1503, contains 140 woodcuts,
and is a remarkable example of early book-making. An
unauthorized edition of Gargantua, printed in 1542, is one
of the rarest books from Dolet's press. Many editions of
La Fontaine's Fables and other works are offered, some of
them first editions, including the famous edition called
"Des Fermiers Generaux." Another noteworthy produc-
tion is the Lancelot, printed at Paris in 1533. Six Dorat
titles are catalogued ; the illustrations are noteworthy, and
one item is superbly bound by Michel. Coquillart's Sen-
suyuent les Droitz Nouveaulx was printed about 1515 and
is of great rarity.
Les Triumphes by Bouchet, La Gverre des Masles by
Cholieres, Tableau des Riches by Colonna, Cronique et
Hystoire by Commines, Polyeucte Martyr by Corneille,
Heraclius by the same author, GEuvres by Gessner (one ot
two copies on vellum), Les GEuvres by Marot, the first
edition of Meliadus de Leonnoys, and Verard's edition of
Tristan are books to which the attention of discriminating
collectors should be directed. Froissart's Chronicles,
printed at Paris 1495-1500, three volumes folio on vellum,
contain 165 finely painted and illuminated miniatures, and
another extraordinary work is Monstrelet's Chronicles (1503)
with bindings which are the best specimens of Lortic's skill.
MISCELLANEOUS : Collectors of manuscripts, especially
those of American authors, will find in this sale some Irving
material of great interest. His note book on his European
tour, in 1804, is probably the earliest Irving manuscript
ever offered for sale by auction; and his note book for 1805
is apparently unpublished. Three of Irving's manuscript
note Vjooks written for his " Mahomet " and four written on
his Western tour are also offered. Fifteen sheets of musi-
cal score, containing Thomas Moore's "Legendary Bal-
lads," set to music by Bishop, with the text in Moore's
handwriting, form a most attractive item. A manuscript
of greater importance is Walter Scott's Life of Jonathan
Swift. Many Grolier Club publications and many extra
illustrated books, some of them very fine, are found in this
section of the Hoe Library, and it also contains a small but
very interesting collection of books on laces and embroid-
ery, several of very early date.

* Rare. At the end of this chronicle we find the three in-
teresting letters referred to in the title. The first and second
are the two written in Mexico in 1531 by Martin of Valencia
and Bishop Zumarraga, which had been printed by order of the
Franciscan Chapter at Toulouse in 1-532. The third, which is
here printed for the first time, is of still more importance to
the American Student. It is a Latin version of a letter from
Friar Peter de Gante, addressed to all the Franciscans in
Flanders, in which he gives an interesting account of Mexico
and its people. It is dated Mexico, June 21, 1529, where he was
laboring as an instructor of youth. The letter ends with a sen-
tence in Mexican, the first appearance of an American
LANGUAGE IN PRINT.

decern. Eiusdem de eausis plantarum . . . Aristotelis proble-

Olive morocco, gilt gauffred edges, the sides beautifully
ornamented with the royal arms, interlaced D H D, inter-
laced CRESCENT, BOW AND FLEURS-DE-LYS, WITH CLASPS. In a
red morocco slip case.
A wonderfully fine example of the famous library of Anet,
with the back entirely sound, which is a circumstance of extra-
ordinary rarity in volumes of this kind. The ornamental design
by the binder is contained within a broad rectangular frame-
work on the sides, which is formed by a number of fillets, gilt
and blind tooled. The pattern of the inner panel is a gUt
geometrical interlacement. Above the upper border the title is
stamped in gold, outside and beneath it are the crescent and the
D.H.D. In the central space are the royal arms, collar and
crowned H.H. within an ornamental frame composed of four
united bows, around which are scattered the crescent and other
devices. At the top of the central compartment the letter A. in
gold, which may mean Anet. It cannot be the Greek numeral
"one," because this volume is complete in itself, and if con-
sidered in relation to the set of Aristotle, published by Aldus,
could only be considered as volume V, not volume I. On the
front edge the letter H stands in the midst of the arabesque
gauffering; on the top edge is the D and H monogram, and on
the bottom the interlaced crescents.

* Editio Princeps of the Bible. Whereas all copies vary
slightly, the above is one of the few with headings at the com-
mencement of the Epistle of St. Jerome, the prologue to Genesis,
and the first book of Genesis printed in red, it being presumed
that on account of the difficulty encountered in printing in a
second color, this undertaking was discontinued. In the British
Museum copy these spaces were left blank. The other chapter
headings throughout ai'e written in red, thus preserving the
symmetry of the pages. The present copy is absolutely
PERFECT AND GENUINE THROUGHOUT, AND MEASURES 15X10^
INCHES.
At the end of each volume there is a Latin inscription dated
March 7, 1471, and authenticated by a notary, showing that
this'Bible belonged to a certain John Vlieghet, priest and bene-
ficiary of the Cathedral of Utrecht, and that he left it to the
monastery called ad Castrum, near Amersford. The Hoe
catalogue states that this copy was formerly in the library of
Lord Ashburnham, and that it was sold a year before his death.
Hain, 3031; Pellechet, 3265; Hessels, p. 170, No. 6; Proctor, 56.
Twenty-seven copies on paper (four containing Vol. I only,
and one only Vol. II) are known to exist. By calculations
based on the proportionate use made of two of the four kinds
of paper used for the book, Dr. Schwenke suggests that the
total number of paper copies printed may have been 180.

cause of the statements reflecting on Cardinal Eichelieu, not
contained in all copies.
This is the last of Champlain 's works, printed shortly before
his last voyage to Canada (where he died in 1635), and it is
perhaps the most important as it contains a review of all pre-
ceding French Expeditions to the New World, interwoven with
Champlain 's account of his own Voyages to Canada, together
with a history of that country. It gives the first accurate ac-
count of the life, habits, and warfare of the Indians in what

(See No. 757.)
"Prologues." Inserted is the portrait of Chaucer ("The
Progenie of Geffrey Chaucer") from the edition of 1598.
This edition of 1561 was evidently a trade issue, separate
titles being printed for each bookseller who took copies. The
earliest issues have woodcuts to " The Prologues," the prelimi-
nary leaves nvimbering fifteen. The second issue had only ten
preliminary leaves, owing to the omission of the woodcuts.
The title of this copy is within an architectural border with a
representation of the King sitting in Parliament at the top, at
the bottom, within the ornamental border, is a small shield
with the device of Richard Grafton. Other issues had a title
mainly occupied by a large armorial woodcut; — these have no
bookseller's device.
The portrait of Chaucer is sometimes found in this edition,
but has in such cases been inserted from the edition of 1598,
where it is noted on the title as being one of the additions to
that "Impression."

* From the Ives collection. This French version of the first
Part of the Grand Voyages of De Bry is the only Part that was
published in French, and appears to have been published before
the English, Latin and German versions. Tlie plates, being
the earliest impression, are superior to those of the Latin edi-
tion. It is op the greatest possible rarity, only 13 copies
having been known to exist as far back as 1850, and very few
of them complete. This copy is not only complete but in
PERFECT AND BRILLIANT CONDITION THROUGHOUT. A duplicate
map of Virginia is also inserted.

* First Edition of the collection op Private Prayers,
COMMONLY known AS " QUEEN ELIZABETH'S PrAYER BoOK. "
The only perfect copy known is that on vellum in the Lambeth
Palace Library, from which the facsimiles in the above were
made. It is believed that John Foxe collected the prayers and
edited the volume for the Queen 's own private use, while the
inclusion of so many prayers in foreign languages (omitted in
later editions) shows that this first edition was not intended for
the general public : In fact, for many years, the Lambeth Palace
copy, was, for this reason, supposed to be unique. This was the
first book printed in England that vied in artistic merit with the
famous Horse issued from the Paris presses about the commence-
ment of the century.

London: Wm. Middleton, undated, and Rd. Pynson, 1525
■"■ The first English translation op Froissart and one of
THE FINEST COPIES IN EXISTENCE. There appear to have been
209
three editions, one by Pynson, 1523-1525, another with bis
name as printer, but supposed to be a pirated edition, and the
other by W. Middleton. Copies are frequently found made
up from the three editions. Utterson, in his reprint of Pynson's
edition, says " Middleton's impression is line for line with
Pynson 's." In the title of Volume I., Henry VIII. is styled
" Of the churche of Englande and also of Irelande in earth the
supreme heade." As Henry did not assume this title uniil
1530, it is clear that the date of the first volume is at least five
years later than that of the second. Middleton did not begin
to print until about ten years after Pynson's death.
Collation: Vol. 1. Title with two rows of printer's ornaments
below it and surrounded by a border of pieces, the initial letter
" H " being a woodcut with scroll design. At (verso woodcut of

of p. 95 vol. II, and OF exceptional interest, being a presen-
tation COPY FROM Goldsmith with "from the Author" on
title op volume one; written in his hand.
The following four points make this copy one of the
most interesting and desirable in existence: — (I) It is a
presentation copy from the author. (II) It is in the original
calf, gilt borders and backs, with double lettering pieces; where-
as it is usually unlettered and without tooling. Probably one
of a few copies specially bound for the author for presentation.

inches. (IV) It is the first issue of the first edition.

editions published the same year. The preliminary pages con-
sist of title, 1 leaf; dedication to Johnson, Prologue by David
Garrick; Epilogue, 1 leaf. This edition was issued without half-
title. The Comedy B. to P. 1 in fours. The pagination and
signatures are very incorrectly marked, some of the variations
being quite important, some of which, if not all, were corrected
in later issues. P. 9, C. 1, the catchword "Scene" is here
printed in small "type, sig. Kl p. 65 misprinted 56, sig. LI, mis-
printed 3, and its pagination misprinted; the headline of this
page is also misprinted "A Comedy," sig. L2, pp. 75-76, mis-

bered leaves-|-430 numbered ccccxxviii=450 leaves, includ-
ing 5 blanks with signatures; 40 lines to the page. Folio,

with his bill for cleaning, repairing and binding laid in. (First
leaf skilfully mended, some wormholes, and blank leaves 1,
24 6 and 450 missing. ) Westminster : William Caxton, 1482
* A PERFECT COPT (with the exception of the blanks above
mentioned), and unusually large, measuring 11% x 8^^
INCHES. The pages are ruled in red ink, marginal notes and
paragraph marks in red ink, and initials in red. As the basis
of his version Caxton used the translation into English by John
de Trevisa in 1357, and added an eighth book, which continued
the Chronicle to 1460. This work is particularly interesting
because it is Caxton 's only original work of any magni-
tude.
Seymour de Ricci ("Census of Caxtons'') records eight
perfect copies only, some of which are made up. The only ones
comparable with this are those belonging to Earl Spencer (now
in the Rylands Memorial Library, Manchester) and the copy in
the New York Public Library (from the Towneley-Sykes-Dent-
Perkins-Ives collections). Hain-Copinger, 8659; Proctor, 9645;
Blades, 46.

1758. IRVING (WASHINGTON). A very Early Manu-
script Journal of Washington Irving. From July 1,
1804, to Jan. 23, 1805, lettered " 1805 " on the outside cover
and called '' Journal of a Tour thro France, Italy, Sicily.''''
115 closely written 4to pages, old vellum, with ties. There
are two pencil drawings on front end-paper and fl3'^-leaf, and
Irving's memorandum "-Achete en Bordeaux Juillet 180 Jf..
Prix S liv,^^ another ''■Ship Matilda 27th DecW opposite
Corsica.''''
* One of the most important Irving manuscripts, and
probably the earliest ever offered for sale by auction.
Washington Irving came of age in April, 1804, and owing
to the delicate state of his health his brothers determined to
send him abroad. The above Journal recounts his experiences
from his arrival in Bordeaux on July 4, thence to Toulouse,
Nismes, Avignon, Marseilles, Nice, and Genoa (from which
place he sailed for Messina the day before Christmas, 1804), the
sea- voyage and his experiences in quarantine, ending with
January 23, 1805. It was evidently written as a basis for let-
ters home, the first entry beginning "My dear Brother"
(William Irving), and contains full descriptions of scenery,
272
people, and adventures, including an attack by pirates. He
describes the long imprisonment in quarantine before Messina
and his occupations, such as studying Italian, reading books on
Sicily, and sailing over the harbor in the yawl belonging to the
vessel. While much of this Journal has been used by Pierre
M. Irving in his " Life and Letters of Washington Irving,"
there are numerous interesting incidents which have not been
published there, serving to illustrate Irving's life and the de-
velopment of his character.
1759. IRVING (WASHINGTON). A very early
Manuscript Note Book of Washington Irving when
travelling in Europe at the age of 31 in 1805. 93 pages,
small 4to, labelled by Irving "1805 " on the front cover.
His Autograph inside the front cover and bound in
vellum wrappers, with flap and tie. On the first page
Irving has written " Notes of a Tour in Europe in 1801^-5.
Vol. Ji-lli. containing Route from Zurich to Paris ct from
Paris to London, from May 17th to Oct. 8th, 1805."
Another note on the same page states that he purchased
the book at Zurich for 1^ livres.
* An EARi.Y Journal to which Pierre Irving evidently
DID NOT HAVE ACCESS IN PREPARING HIS "Life and Letters
of Washington Irving"; and apparently unpublished. The
account of the week's trip from Zurich to Paris, May 19 to 24th,
is very full. The Journal next commences with September
22nd, 180o, describes the trip to London, where he landed
October 8th, 1805, closing with an account of an annoying
delay, at Gravesend. His pencilled comments of his first
IMPRESSIONS OF ENGLAND cover four pages and will be found
to form not the least interesting part of the Journal :
"J had expected to be delighted on finding myself in Eng-
land, that my heart loould expand, my feelings all fly out to
hail my kinsmen. Quite otherwise — except during my ride
from Gravesend to London. I have found my Jieart has
closed up — all the social feeling has retired within me. I
look about me with distrust. If I wish to know the direction
of a street I first examine the physiognomy of mij neighbor,
and ivhen I have selected I make my inquiry with caution
like a ivary person standing on my guard for fear of insult.
In no other country have I felt anything like this. I feel
like one of our savages ivhen visiting a strange tribe. He
courts their friendship though he eyes them with distrust;
he holds out the calumet of peace but grasps his tomahawk
in the other hand ready to defend himself, etc."
1760. IRVING (WASHINGTON). Three of Irving's
Manuscript Note Books, written about 1830, for "Ma-
homet and his Successors," about 80 pages each, 12mo,
bound in limp morocco, labelled b}^ Irving on one volume
"Arabs No. 1," in ink; on two others are pasted labels of
white paper on which Irving has written: "Mem. Con-
cerning the Arabs, No. 1" and "Notes on the Arabs,
No. 2." The third volume is unlabelled. A MS. Index
IN Irving's hand is in one volume.
* With the exception of a few blank leaves here and there,
and traces of the removal of a few others, the 250 pages are
covered with notes in ink in Irving's fine hand, chiefly con-
273
cerning the Arabs; gathered ia 1830 while the author was en-
gaged on the " Life and Successors of Mahomet'' (published in
1849 and 1850), prepared while at Madrid and intended as in-
troductory to other volumes which he had in contemplation
connected with the Moorish domination of Spain. Many of
these notes are extracts from Sale's "Koran," and the works
of d'Herbelot.
A few pencilled notes of a more personal nature are written
on the first and last leaves, and in one he records the final
ARRANGEMENTS with MURRAY FOR THE SALE OF " The Voy-
ages of Columbus": "Aug. 3 {1830) settled with Murray about
Volume of Voyages— 500 gs (Ouineas) at 6, 9 & 12 ms (months)."
He also describes seeing Louis Philippe take the oath as Kiug
of France, and on August 18 (1830) the marriage of his nephew
when General Lafayette gave away the bride. On two pre-
liminary pages of one volume is found one of his finest pieces
of descriptive writing beginning
" There is a clock in almost every room, and in the night I
can hear them repeating the hours to one another like iveary
watchmen. There is a small silver-toned clock in a Lady's
Boudoir that tongues it so quickly and sweetly, etc."
1761. IRVING (WASHINGTON). Four op Irving's
Manuscript Note Books for "Tour on the Prairies,"
55 pages in all, 12mo, marbled wrappers, labelled by Irving
"Far West 1, 2, 3 " and "Notes on the Indians" on the
fourth. Two have labels of white paper pasted on, with
"Notes concerning the Far West 1833 " in Irving's hand.
* "Tour on the Prairies" was published in London in 1835
and a month later in America. The above notes relate almost
entirely to the ethnology, geography, botany and zoology of
the Far West, There is a pencilled list of books, including the
works of Pike, Long and Carver. The "Tour" comprised
Irving's expedition from Fort Gibson, Ark., to the Pawnee
Hunting Grounds in October. 1832.
