NO TIC lH.
The Catalogue of Books, now offered to the public, comprises
the entire library of the late Mil. WM. E. BURTON, the eminent
Comedian, who devoted many years to its collection, and it is
believed to be by far the largest Library of Dramatic Literature
ever offered at public auction in this or any other country.
It contains a most surprising mass of rare old English Plays;
Works on the Drama, History of the Stage, Theatres, Theatrical
Characters and Biography, Pageants, Royal Progresses, and Pro
cessions, Mimes, Pantomimes, Masquerades, Mummeries, Myste
ries, and Morris Dancers, Fantoccini, Olympian Games, Feats of
the Circus, Carnivals, Cavalcades, and every other description of
Exhibition which were all objects of Mr. B. s research; indeed,
such was Mr. Burton s enthusiasm that nothing was too trivial that
tended in any way to illustrate the profession which he was so
eminently qualified to fill.
OLD ENGLISH POETRY, will be found not only voluminous, but
abounding in rare and choice copies, including many English
translations of the classics of very early dates; while the Dramatic
collection is replete with the first editions of most of the Plays of
importance. Shakspeariana is especially rich, not only in rare
books, but in some presque unique copies of books printed for
presentation only.
Amidst such a variety of really choice and rare books it would
be almost invidious to make a special reference to any particular
work or works; but the fact of there being the First Four Folio
Editions of Shakspcare s Works is too important to overlook.
Also, all the collected editions from that of Rowe to Halliwell s
folio. For a further account of this department, the reader is
referred to page 335.
TOPOGRAPHICAL WORKS, however rare or expensive, were not
forgotten, nor Antiquities of Greece and Rome. Among the
former is a fine copy of the first edition of Dugdale s Warwick
shire, containing the earliest engraving of the Monument of Shaks-

iv NOTICE.
peare, by the elaborate, accurate, and most industrious Hollar,
which differs materially from all the more recent representations
of it, either from the burin of the engraver, or the numerous
plaster casts. Dugdale s St. Paul s, Weever s Funeral Monuments,
Wren s Parentalia, and Nichols Royal Progresses will also be
found.
ME. BURTON S speciality as an author of Comic Pieces naturally
led him to the collection of Books of Wit and Humor ; of this fact
there will be sufficient evidence on referring to the departments of
Facetiae and Jest Books, among which will be found many works
of rarity books of this class being cheaply got up, are especially
liable to mutilation.
Polonius s description of the players whom Rosencrantz and Gil-
derstern "coted on the way" from the Academy at Wittenburg to
the Court of Elsinore, as " being the best actors in the world,
either for Tragedy, Comedy, History, Pastoral, Pastoral-comical,
Historical-pastoral, Tragical-historical, Tragical-comical, Histori
cal-pastoral, Scene indivisible, or Poem unlimited," conveys some
idea of the thorough completeness of this dramatic collection.
" Seneca was not too heavy, nor Plautus too light."
The Curiosities and Antiquities comprise some desirable rari
ties, including Statues, Busts, Models, Casts of Shakspeare s Monu
ment and Bust at Stratford, including Clara Fisher s Museum, and
the celebrated Mulberry Tree Tea Caddy, one of the choicest Sou
venirs of the Tree in existence, and perfectly unique. Also, many
Bronze Medals, a Watch formerly belonging to Washington, and
Talma s Repeater, presented by Napoleon.
The Library Furniture comprises a series of Book Cases of
Gothic Pattern, made for a room thirty feet square. An Oak
Book Case and four Mahogany Book Cases, Library Table, Chairs,
two Fire-proofs, &c. Also, a magnificent Antique Buffet, or Side
board, Gas Fixtures, Billiard Table, &c.
There are also a few of the best of the Oil Paintings which were
not sold with the Gallery.
Of the Catalogue, let it suffice to observe that the books are all
faithfully represented, and distant buyers may rely upon the con
dition of the books being truly expressed. Its arrangement has
been attended with much labor, but the convenience to the buyer
will be self-evident.

united with stubborn integrity have elevated to the rank of legal
evidence ; such is this first edition of Dugdale s Warwickshire, it
being the only one admitted as evidence in a court of law.

This history was ye last performance (it seems) of ye justly celebrated
Abbot Vertot. * * * Besides ye importance of ye subject (viz.,
ye rise, progress and manners of ye famous Knights of Malta), our
author easily appears to have recomended this performance, by ye

and by ye various and artful episodes interwoven thro out, which
to me seem to comprehend a general idea of ye affairs of Europe,
and are a kind of a history in miniature of ye establishment of Ma-
hometisin, of the Crusades, of several of the Popes, of ye Emperors
of ye East, of the Turkish Sultans, of the K gs of Jerusalem, Tripoli
and Cyprus, together with other remarkable personages and events.
Our author says, "The first rise of ye Order of ye Knights,
&c., was owing to "Devotion" I wd. rather say to " Superttilion."
For to what else can be justly ascribed ye frequent pilgrimages to

Quarterly Review.
" Two men once united by friendship and forever by fame, the Dioscuri
of our Zodiac, rose upon the horizon as the star of Shakespeare,
though still in its fullest brightness, was declining in the sky. In
Comedy they founded a new school, at least in England, the vestiges
of which are still to be traced in our theatre. Their language bril
liant with wit, their measure, though they do not make great use of
prose, very lax and rapid, running frequently to lines of thirteen
and fourteen syllables. Few of their comedies are without a mix
ture of grave sentiments or elevated characters ; and though there
is much to condemn in their indecency and even licentiousness of
principle, they never descend to the coarse buffoonery not unfre-
quent in their age. Never were dramatic poets more thoroughly
gentlemen according to the standard of their times." Hallam.

" Beaumont and Fletcher are lyrical and descriptive poets of the first
order ; every page of their writings is a florilegium ; there is hardly
a passion, character, or situation, which they have not touched in
their devious range, and whatever they touched, they adorned with
some new grace or striking feature ; they are masters of style and
versification in almost every variety of melting modulation or
sounding pomp, of which they are capable : in comic wit and
spirit, they are scarcely surpassed by any writers of any age."
Hazlitt.
" In the romantic Drama, Beaumont and Fletcher are almost supreme.
Their plays are, in general, most truly delightful. I could read the
Beggar s Bush from morning to night. How sylvan and sunshiny
it is ! The Little French Lawyer is excellent. Lawrit is conceived
and executed from first to last in comic humor. Monsieur Thomas
is also capital. I have no doubt whatever that the first act and the
first scene of the second act of The Two Noble Kinsmen, are Shakes
peare s. " Coleridge.

private musick, rare, Portrait, 8vo. Lond. 1651
Cartwright died at the early age of thirty-two, but he lived long enough
to earn the distinguished praise of Ben Jonson, who used to say of
him "My son, Cartwright, writes all like a man."
Judging from the commendatory poems, which are more than fifty in
number, attached to this volume, it would appear that Cartwright
was much beloved and admired by all the great writers of the time.
The last of the commendatory poems is by Isaac Walton. " On the
Death of my dear Friend, Mr. William Cartwright," one of the few
specimens of the muse of the good old Isaac.

Shirley, the principal author of this play, was once of Gray s Inn, and
a poet much esteemed in the days of Charles I. ; he wrote 37 pieces
and died shortly after. Chapman was well received among tho
poetic writers of that age for his translations as well as his original
writings. He joined with Ben Jonson in composing the play called
Eastward Hoe. He also translated Homer, Hesiod and MIIS.TUS,
which works were esteemed well done in that infancy of translation.
His theatrical pieces are 13 in number.

"The greatest of the French dramatic poets. He was born at Rouen, in
1G06, and for some time practiced in that city as an advocate. His
first dramatic performance was Mi-lite, a comedy, which met with
such distinguished success, that he was encouraged to devote his
rare powers to the drama. The tragedies of Medea, The Cid,
The Horatii, and Cinna, followed, and established for their author
a pre-eminent station among French dramatists. Besides the fore
going, he wrote many other tragedies, and translated Thomas ,\
Kempis, On the Imitation of Jesus Christ. It is melancholy to
reflect that Corneille, who had achieved fame equally for himself
and his country s literature, ended his days in poverty and distress.
Died 1684."

than any other English writer could supply. Speaking of his writ
ings, he says, as to his writings, I may venture to say, in general
terms, that no man hath written in our language, so much, and so
various matter, and in so various manners, so well. . . . His
prose had all the clearness imaginable, together with all the noble
ness of expression, all the graces and ornaments proper and peculiar
to it, without deviating into the language of poetry." Congreve.

heard with respect on that subject." Edinburgh Review.

" Pure and chastened Massinger, a Poet of unwearied vigour and con
summate elegance, exhibits a perfectibility, both of diction and ver
sification, of which wo have, in dramatic poesy at least, no corre
sponding example. A transparency, perspicuity, sweetness, har
mony, ductility, blended strength and ease, in structure of his
Metre, which delight and never satiate." Dr. Draper.
" The tragedies of Massinger have a calm and dignified seriousness, a
lofty pride, that impresses the imagination very strongly. His genius
was more eloquent and descriptive than impassioned or inventive :
yet his pictures of suffering virtue, its struggles and its trials, are
calculated to touch the heart, as well as gratify the taste. His ver
sification is sweetly smooth and mellifluous." Chambers.

binding. Lond. 1781
In the whole range of English literature it would, perhaps, be impossible
to select a more intrinsically valuable and gratifying literary gem
than the present. It is the copy of Dr. Johnson s Lives of the
Poets, presented to his friend, Mrs. Thrale, and enriched throughout
with copious notes and annotations by her, which are entirely unpub
lished. The late editions of " Boswell s Life" have shown the
eagerness with which every scrap relating to Dr. Johnson has been
collected and cherished, though often of trivial value ; while these
volumes present an untouched mine of entirely new material, from
one, of whose house he was so long an inmate, and who soothed
with feminine attention and the luxuries of wealth the declining
years of the "Colossus of Literature." It may be doubted whether
an equally valuable addition to our knowledge of Dr. Johnson is in
existence. On the lly-leaf of vol. 1 is the signature "//. L. Thrale,
126 DRAMATIC BIOGRAPHY.
1781," and the notes with which the margins abound appear to have
been written on various perusals between that time and 1817,
(which is the last date noticed), four years previous to Mrs. Piozzi s
death, in 1821, in her 82d year. In a note to Boswell, Mr. Croker
says of Mrs. Piozzi s hand, " Her writing is an almost perfect speci
men of calligraphy, and this power remained unimpaired to the
last years of her long life ;" a fact to which these volumes testify
indeed some of the later notes are almost microscopic, though per
fectly clear and legible. The notes, which are many hundreds in
number, and of various extent, from a few words to a long para
graph, may be roughly classed as unpublished anecdotes of Dr.
Johnson, anecdotes of English literary men and their works, derived
from a constant intercourse with the highest sources of information,
and original critical remarks, &c., by Mrs. Piozzi herself, frequently
displaying great vivacity and talent. A specimen or two, chiefly of
the first class, is given merely to show their character and import
ance :
"When I expressed my grief and anger at seeing Young s character so
mangled, (by Herbert Crofts, who supplied the Life in Johnson s Col
lection), Why, pry thee, my dear, (says Dr. Johnson), why didst
not do it thyself? I did not possess any materials for such a
work, was my reply. Nor I, (answered Johnson), and I was glad
of good help. So now, let s hear no more on t. " Life of Youny,
vol. iv., p. 359.
" When Johnson had finished his preface to Shakspear, Mr. Thrale said,
Oh, sir, you have driven Pope quite into shade. I fear not, sir,
was our doctor s reply, the little fellow has done wonders. " Pope,
vol. iv., p. 73.
" Dr. Johnson requested Lord Westcote, in my hearing, to write this life
(Lord Lyttleton) for him, (though I am sure he neither loved nor
esteemed the man.) Lord Westcote declined the work, with many
complimentary expressions ; said his dear brother was in the best
possible hands, &c. ; and after it was written flew in a rage, and
ran to Mrs. Montagu, complaining of Dr. Johnson, who sat still and
laughed at my Lord Parenthesis, as he called Billy Lyttleton."
Lyttleton, vol. iv., p. 489.
" The beauty who is totally free from disproportion of parts and fea
tures, cannot be ridiculed by an overcharged resemblance, &c.,
Johnson," finely said, and accurately illustrated; and it was John
son s conversation opinion, too. He liked Mr. Thrale, he said,
because he had no trick about his manner, no emphasis in his talk ;
he could no more be taken off (as the phrase is) than Beauclerc.
And what, sir, (said I,) do you think, then, of your favorite, Bur-
ney ? Oh, (said he,) Burney could not be taken off, certainly,
because he is all trick. " Dryden, vol. ii., p. 121.
" Dr. Johnson was very angry that he was not called upon by Garrick
to write the Ode, (in the Shakespeare Jubilee,) which for that rea
son he always ridiculed." Dryden, vol. ii., p. 110.
"I have heard Dr. Johnson say, what tis plain he would not write, how
Parnell could not get through a sermon, without turning his head,
even in the pulpit, to drink a dram." H. L. P., 1802. Parnell,
vol. ii. p. 306.
" Richardson quotes as Otway s lines, verses now well known to be
Shakespeare s ; but to Garrick, that mine of mercury striated with
gold, we owe the revivification of Shakespeare, though none of us
had influence enough with Dr. Johnson to make him confess it in
his Preface or Notes. Mr. Thrale would not try Garrick had re-

fused him a favor. He wonld not patronize Poll Hart, who after
ward married Reddish." Otiray, vol. i., p. 340.
For a very curious anecdote of Rochester, see vol. i., p. 301 ; and of
Thomson, vol. iv., p. 271 ; which would take too much space to
extract. It ia hoped that the above specimens, out of some hundred
notes, will be sufficient to give an idea of the value of this Unique
Contribution to the Literary History of England, and Memorial of
one of her Greatest Writers.

" Boswell s Life of Johnson is one of the best books in the world. It is
assuredly a great, a very great book. Homer is not more decidedly
the first of Heroic poets Shakspeare is not more decidedly the first
of dramatists Demosthenes is not more decidedly the first of ora
tors, than Boswell is the first of biographers. He has distanced all
his competitors so decidedly, that it is not worth while to place
them ; Eclipse is first, and all the rest, nowhere. We are not sure
that there is in the whole history of the human intellect so singular
a phenomenon as this book. Many of the greatest men that have
ever lived have written biography Boswell has beaten them all."

The period embraced in this amusing work is from the latter part of the
reign of Edward II. to the Coronation of Henry IV. Mr. Johnes
has prefixed a Life of the Author, an Essay on his Works, a Criti
cism on his History, and a Dissertation on his Poetry.
Sir Walter Scott, in his "Tales of My Landlord," thus speaks of the
above "Did you ever read Froissart ?" "No," said Morton. "I
have half a mind," said Claverhouse, " to contrive you should have
six months imprisonment in order to procure you that pleasure.
His chapters inspire me with more enthusiasm than even poetry
itself. And the noble Canon ; with what true chivalrous feeling he
confines his beautiful expressions of sorrow to the death of the
gallant and high-bred Knight, of whom it was a pity to see the fall,
such was his loyalty to his King, pure faith to his religion, hardi
hood towards his enemy, and fidelity to his lady-love."

" I have no hesitation in designating Granger s a delightful and instruc

These Chronicles commence at the e^act -period where Froissart finishes.
They relate not only to the affairs of France, but also to those of
England, Scotland, Ireland, Spain, and some other parts of Europe.
Monstrelet s Chronicles are real history, wherein are found all the
characteristics of historical writing. He traces events to their source,
developes the causes, and follows them with the minutest details ;
and what renders these Chronicles infinitely precious is, his never-
failing attention to report all Edicts, Letters, Treaties, etc. as proofs
of the truth of the facts he relates.

1950 POLYDORI Virgilii, Ilistoria Anglica), folio, limp villnm.
Basil, 1548
Polydore Virgil, who came to England in the retinne of Cardinal for-
neto, to collect the Papal tribute called Peter-Pence, and whose fine
and elegant style as a Latinist is preferred to almost any of his con
temporaries, recommended himself so much to Henry VIII. that the
King promoted him to several church preferments, and among others
to the rich Archdeaconry of Wells.
In this work will be found the origin of various religious rites and cere
monies.

minster Abbey, and he no longer thinks of comparing England to
America : the reliijio loci makes itself felt ; it awakens in him an
ancestral feeling of which he was before unconscious, and he then
begins to understand that, in the thoughts and emotions which
carry us back to past ages, and connect us with the generations
which are gone, there is something more soothing, more salutary for
the heart, and more elevating also, than in all the anticipations
with which a young and emulous nation looks onward to the fu

Tliis copy belonged to the celebrated artist who is so well known as tho
illustrator of Blair s Grave, and other works. It is illustrated with
very numerous MS. notes, written with all the spirit of a good hater
and excessively vituperative ; the following note is written on the
title page :
"This man was hired to Deprave Art."
This is the opinion of William Blake, my proofs are given in the [follow
ing] notes. The reader is referred to the work, it is full and run
ning over with marginal notes, all written in the spirit already
indicated.
" Blake is a real name I assure you, and a most extraordinary man he is,
if he be still living. He is tho Blake whose wild designs accom
pany a splendid edition of Blair s Grave. He paints in water colours
marvellous strange pictures visions of his brain, which he asserts
that he has seen. They have great merit. I have heard of his
Poems, but have never seen them. There is one to a tiger, which I
have heard recited, beginning :
Tiger ! Tiger ! burning bright,
Through the deserts of the night, &c.
which is glorious. But, alas, I have not the book, and the man is
flown, whither I know not to Hades, or a madhouse but I must
look on him as one of the most extraordinary persons of the age."
C. Lamb.
"The most original, and in truth the only new and original version of
tho Scripture idea of Angels which I have met with, is that of Wil
liam Blake, a poet painter, somewhat mad as we are told, if indeed
his madness was not rather the telescope of truth, a sort of poetical
clairvoyance, bringing the unearthly nearer to him than to others."
J/rs. Jameson s Sacred and Legendary Art.
Of Reynolds, however, it may not be amiss to say with Sotheby:
" Hail ! guide and glory of the British School,
Whose magic line gave life to every rule."

" Froissart is a historian consulted and cited by every writer whose
subject leads him to the period in which he wrote ; he is the chief,
if not the only authentic source of information we are possessed of
with regard to one of the proudest and most striking portions of our
national annals. Even the readers of novels and romances, if ever
they have in the course of their lives read anything of real history,
must be gratified and even charmed with Froissart, for there is as
much gallantry, love, and adventure, in the Chronicles of Froissart,
as in any romance, Don Quixote scarcely excepted."

" Sir Harris Nicolas has produced the first comprehensive History of the
British Orders of Knighthood ; and it is one of the most elaborately
prepared and splendidly printed works that ever issued from the
press. The author appears to us to have neglected no sources of
information, and to have exhausted them, as far as regards the
general scope and purpose of the inquiry. The graphical illustra
tions are such as become a work of this character upon such a sub
ject ; at, of course, a lavish cost. The resources of the recently re
vived art of wood-engraving have been combined with the new art
of printing in colours, so as to produce a rich effect, almost rivalling
that of the monastic illuminations. Such a book is sure of a place
in every great library. It contains matter calculated to interest ex
tensive classes of readers, and we hope by our specimen to excite
their curiosity." Quarterly Review.

" The title-page of this work conveys a very imperfect idea of its con
tents, for instead of being a mere account of the progresses and fes
tivities produced for the amusement of James L, it is in fact the
domestic history of his reign. The research and tact which have
been displayed in procuring and in dovetailing the discordant
materials have seldom been equalled ; and it would be difficult to
name a compilation that will better repay perusal, though its chief
value is as a book of reference for every person and circumstance
connected with that reign." Retrospective Review.

" Ariosto has been, after Homer, the favorite poet of Europe. His graco
and facility, his clear and rapid stream of language, his variety and
beauty of invention, his very translations of subjects, so frequently
censured by critics, but artfully devised to spare the tediousnoss
that hangs on a protracted story, left him no rival in general popu
larity. Above sixty editions of the Orlando Furioso were published
in the sixteenth century. There was not one, says Bernardo Tasso,
of any age, or sex, or rank, who was satisfied with a single perusal."

Portuguese ; Vasco de Gama is the hero. He has the tender
romance of Tasso, the picturesque of Ariosto, and connects these
with the dignity of the heroic poet.

" In elocution and elegance, in harmony and perspicuity of versification,

able, so that to praise one, were to detract from the rest."
While the first edition and sheets of Paradise Lost were slowly struggling
through the mists of bigotry and party prejudice into public reputa
tion, the poems of Cleveland were poured forth in innumerable im
pressions. The reverse is now the singular contrast ; and Cleveland
has had the fate of those poets, described in Johnson s Life of Cowley,
who, paying their court to temporary prejudices, have been at one
time too much praised, and at another too much neglected.

This edition is not noticed by Burnet or Watts. Landino is one of tlie
most prized of the old commentators.
" Landino, in his commentary on Dante, has preserved the remembrance
of many historical facts, and related many circumstances indis
pensably necessary to the explanation of the divine coinedia. His
industry in the execution of a task so grateful to his countrymen,
was rewarded by the donation of a villa or residence on the Hill of
Casentino, in the vicinity of Florence, which he enjoyed under the
sanction of a public decree." Roscoe s Lorenzo.
This is also curious as being one of the first books in which copper-plates

Bought at the Fonthill sale, 2.
" The secular aims, the greedy avarice, the nepotism, the shameful vices
of the Popes whom Dante accuses and he assailed none but wicked
Popes were all the more hateful to him, because they polluted the
sanctity of the Church, while they inflamed the discords of his
country. Such were the views which have caused Dante to be
ranked as a partisan of the Ghibellines, although he repudiated
and it may be said with high reason the charge of party declar
ing that * rectitude [see this passage in the treatise " De Vulyari
Eloquio" ], meaning inexorable justice was his sole guide. "

style, he must be reckoned above all three. He had the ease of

The Notes in this " singular performance," as it has been called, are very
copious.
" Above all the poets of this age, and in the whole range of English po
etry, inferior only to Shakspeare. The first two books of his great
epic are especially remarkable for their grandeur and sublimity; he
invested his creations with the classic spoils of the mythology and
superstitions of the ancient pagans, commingling with them the
truths of the Christian religion." Chambers.
" He possesses sublimity enough to command our fear, and gentleness
enough to awaken our affection. He unites the fancy of Spenser to
the majesty of ^Eschylus, and the delicate finish and grace of Ca-
nova to the bold and sweeping outlines of Michael Angelo. The
humblest thought, subjected to the alchemy of Milton s genius, be
came transmuted into something precious and costly. He was an
enchanter who changed all the earthen edifices of the imagination
into pure gold."

" Googe s Zodiac of Palingenius was a favorite performance, and is con

temporary critics. The work itself was written by G. A. Manzolius,
and contains sarcasms against the Pope, the Cardinals, and the
Church of Rome." Ellis.
Warton speaks very highly of the original work, both as regards its de
sign and execution. The same elegant critic also observes that
" Googe seems chiefly to have excelled in rendering the descriptive
and flowery passages of this moral Zodiac ;" and also, " it must be
confessed that there is a perspicuity and freedom in Googe s versi
fication."

*** Wood hints that " some have thought the book was written by Sir
Philip Sidney, and Wharton has inferred from many passages that
it was written much earlier than 1580. Oldys in 1736 spoke of this

and this was in the curious library of James West." The Roxburghe
copy sold for 16 5a. 6d., and Col. Stanley s for 21.
Mr. Gilchrist has drawn an able and comprehensive character of this
work. He observes, " this is on many accounts one of the most curi
ous and entertaining, and intrinsically, one of the most valuable
books of the age of Elizabeth. The copious intermixture of contem
porary anecdote, tradition, manners, opinions, and the numerous
specimens of coeval poetry, nowhere else preserved, contribute to
form a volume of infinite amusement, curiosity, and value."

the howers of night and repose, for the day was not mine, but dedi
cated to the service of your Great Father, and yourselfe." His
learning and virtues were not only commended by Lord Falkland
and other contemporaries but by Dryden, who called him " the best
versifier of the age," and by Pope, who declared that " English Poetry
owed much to the beauty of his translations."

period.
A leaf with ten metrical lines, signed " B. I." (Ben Jonson) "To the
Reader," precedes the title page, in the centre of which is a portrait
of Shakespeare by Martin Droeshout, the lines opposite referring to

" The figure that tbou here seest put,
It was for gentle Shakespeare cut."
This portrait has always been looked upon as the most satisfactory

of the greater portion of the impression having been destroyed in
the great fire of London. There is another third edition with the
date 1664, but the one of 1603, as above, is the scarcest of all.
The publishers of the fourth edition in 1685, appear to have considered
the destruction of the third edition so extensive as to entitle them to
treat it as a non-entity; and accordingly say on their title-page,
"unto which is added Seven / lays never before printed in Folio," though
they had been previously printed in the third a certain proof of its
great rarity even in those days.

This edition is much esteemed for its correctness and notes.
" The most striking instance of the growing popularity of the great Bard,
was the enterprise of employing Pope to edit this first splendid edi
tion of his works. 750 copies were printed at 6 6s. ; but so little
were the public prepared to sustain the undertaking, that the bulk
of the edition was sunk among the booksellers to 16s. a copy."

LY BOUND IN MOROCCO, GILT LEAVES. Lond. 1802
Miss BoYPBLL g OWN copy. Tliese plates were all selected by the niece of
the publisher, and it is presumed this is the choicest copy of tho
work extant, the result of one of the most patriotic and sumptuous
undertaking! that ever emanated from the liberality and spirit of any
publisher before Alderman Boydell ; combining at the same time
employment and the greatest encouragement to every one concerned,
from the elevated genius of the palette and maule-stick to the hum
ble wielder of the folding stick.

THAT EVER CAME FROM THE PLATES.
They are accompanied by tho etchings of every print, with some varia
tions. It is not usual to find more than eighty etchings in a set,
but in thjp instance the set is complete within one or two, which is
sufficiently or more than compensated, by the variations of Kisn
LEAR by SHARPK and others, all in the lirst state as they were printed,
loose in a portfolio with wrappers.
This splendid work is a noble monument to the genius of Shakspeare,
formed by the united efforts of the most renowned British artists,
aided and directed also by the munificence of Alderman Boydell.
Among the paintings engraved in this superb series of illustrations
are the works of Sir Joshua Reynolds, Romney, Opie, Smirke,
Northcote, Stothard, Fuseli, Hamilton, Tresham, Westall, and other
first rate British artists.

*** There are, perhaps, few Looks that have had so great an effect on
the early literature of England as the present volume. Its popu
larity during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries is shown by the
numerous Manuscripts and editions, and to this popularity we owe
the Mirror for Magistrates, written on the same plan, and intended
as a continuation of it ; the Legends and Barons Wars of Drayton,
the Civil Wars of Daniel, the Legend of Wolsey, by Storer, and other
Poems on the same model ; but it is the Dramatic muse of the coun
try that is chiefly indebted to it ; since to it we trace the origin of
the Historic Drama, which, rising in the Ferrex and Porrex of Sack-
ville and Norton, acquired such strength in the hands of Marloe, and
ultimately blazed forth with such splendor in the pages of Shake
speare, extremely rare.

The first English version of Boccacio, with curious wood-cuts ; rare.
" Boccacio s soul was deeply imbued with the poetry of feeling and

than in his poetical compositions. In attentively perusing the De
cameron, we not only admire the great versatility of the author s
genius, combined as it is with an expert and decided hand in the
management of details, but discover, besides a certain fixed design
in plan and arrangement, a distinctly conceived and general ideali

A writer in the European Magazine for Sept. 1793 (supposed to be Goo.

p. 215, note c, of his Mu rocosmos ; where the initials " W. S. and
H. B." occur, must doubtless have been intended for William Shak-
speare and Richard Burbage, the latter of whom, in Oldys s MS.
notes on Langbaine, is supposed to have been the painter of the
Duke of Chandos picture of our Bard. The same writer adds : " It
is highly gratifying to observe that every new discovery tends to
confirm the opinion, that Shakspeare was as estimable for the good
ness of his private life as he was superior in genius to every one of
his contemporaries."

very rare, interleaved, in 4 vols. 4to. imprynted by Abell
Jcffes. Lond. 1587
This rare and valuable work is quoted as having been sold as high as
27 6s. and is marked at 35, in the Bibliotheca Anglo Poetica.
Gasco gne s Works should always form part of a Shakspeare library.
In the Taming of a Shrew, Shakspeare has borrowed considerably
from Gascoigne s comedy of the Supposes. " Shakspeare," says
Mr. Chalmers, " obviously borrowed the names of two of his char
acters from the Supposes of Gascoigne, which was first acted in
1564, and published among his Workes in 1575 and 1587, adopting,
moreover, from Gascoigne s comedy sentiments and language."

" Valuable for its historical matter ; one of the earliest criticisms on
Shakespeare." Retrospective Rev.
The works of Rymer form one of the most laughable and amusing com
ments ever written upon Shakespeare. He has taken for his theme
Othello, and after analyzing it through several pages, he winds up
with the following summary : "There is in this play some burlesk,
some humour, and ramble of comic wit some show and some
mimickry to divert the spectators ; but the tragedy part is plainly
none other than a bloody farce without salt or savour."

This was published at one hundred dollars without the binding. But a
limited number were printed, and it is daily becoming more scarce.

ever be collected ; and if they could be got, the cost of them would
almost purchase a tolerable library. The following is a list of the
contents : ARCHAICA Greene s Philomela; Greene s Arcadia; South
well s Triumph over Death ; Breton s Characters, and his Good and
Bad ; Nash s Christ s Tears over Jerusalem ; Harvey s Four Letters
and Sonnets touching R. Greene ; Harvey s Pierce s Supererogation ;
Harvey s New Letter of Notable Contents ; Braithwaitc s Essay on
the Five Senses. HEMCONIA Breton s Small Handfull of Fragrant
Flowers; Proctor s Gorgeous Gallery of Gallant Inventions ; Breton s
Flourish upon Fancy ; Handefull of Pleasant Delites, edited by C.
Robinson ; Whetstone s Life and Death of Francis Karle of Bedford ;
Phoenix Nest ; Barnes s Spirituall Sonnets ; Spirituall Sonnets by II.
C. ; Churchard s Funeral of Sir F. Knowles ; Storer s Life and Death
of Cardinal Wolsey ; Allott s England s Parnassus ; Churchyard s
Good-will ; Sad and Heavy Verses for the Losse of Archbp. Whit-
gift, by Churchyard.
In this set the Archaica is in 9 parts, boards, and the Heliconia 9 parts
in 7 vols. half morocco; it will be sold as in 1(> vols.
