Tills striking historical tableau is a close study oi Oliver Ciiomwell's life and quality in his native and familiar scenes at Huntingdon, Saint Ives, Ely, Cambridge, Grantham, Boston and other places, which the author visited for this purpose and with the intention of making Cromwell the "first rough-casted model" of the American Presidents. The moral undertone of the piece is the struggle in Crom- well's family and surroundings to make him a King and the play concludes with the scene of his inauguration as Protector. The plot of SiNDERCOME against his life is the main staple of the action, but charming pictures of Oliver's domestic living vary the strong events, and the American characters like Roger Williams are introduced. Of thjs unique Republican play only aoo copies will be printed, on fine paper, and with broad margin, suitable for fine library binding and for the insertion of illustrations. Every copy will be verified by the author's number and autograph. Price per Copy, ....93 OO Money or check to the order of E. F. BONAVENTURE, lis a Broadway, New York. ALBERT E.

The great Johnson has praised tne " Anatomy of Melancholy " in the warmest terms, and the ludicrous Sterne has interwoven many parts of it into his own popular performance. Milton did not disdain to build two of his finest poems on it; and a host of inferior writers have embellished their worJcs with beauties not their own, culled from a performance which they had not the jus- tice even to mention. " The book, in my opinion, most useful to a man who wishes to acquire the reputation of being well-read, with the least trouble, is, ' Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy.'

On his return to Paris, he was elected a Royal Academician in 1765, on which oc- casion he painted his fine picture of ' Callirrhoe ' as his reception piece, which was much admired. His next work was the ' Visitation of the Virgin,' for the Duke of Grammont. He soon, however, left the path of high and noble subjects which he had hitherto followed, and painted bacchanals, conversations and subjects of French manners, many of which had an exceedingly licentious tendency."

Bound in full red levant morocco, mosaic on back and gilt, covers tooled in Duteuil style, top gilt, uncut edges. London, 1841. 50 00 Some critics have pronounced the " Diable Boi- teux " superior to Gil Bias. Sir Walter Scott says of this delightful romance — *' There is no book in existence in which so much of the human character, under all its various shades and phases, is described in so few words, as in the ' Diable Boiteux.' The fancy, the light- ness, the spirit and the vivacity of the enchanting pen of Le Sage are everywhere visible. To quote examples would be to quote the work through almost every page. No work has afforded a greater stock of passages, which have been gen- erally employed as apophthegms, or illustrations of human nature and actions. " If there is anything like truth in Gray's opin- ion, that to lie upon a couch and read new novels was no bad idea of Paradise, how would that beatitude be enhanced, could human genius afford us another ' Gil Bias ' or a ' Devil on Two Sticks r " 95 LE SAGE (Alain Rene).

The descriptive MS. further states: " It is the custom of the Sioux warrior, as was thecustom with the warriors of the Six Nations, the Natchez, the Illin- ois and other semi-centaur savages, to record by illustrations or pictures their several exploits in battle and the chase. In the history of the trans Mississippi tribes, those who have relied for sub- sistence upon the immense herds of buffalo, elk and antelope which ranged on the plains— these pictorial records have mainly been executed on tile dressed skins of animals ; though in some few instances Jesuit Missionaries testify to having seen these records handsomely and profusely illustra- ted on the inner bark of the Cottonwood tree. The Missionaries taught them the uses and purposes of paper, and the Government agents have always liberally supplied them with colored crayons. This book was originally the property of one J.S. Moore, who, in company with twenty-flve others, left Nebraska City June 15th, 1866, for Montana. In September, 1868, Moore started to return to Nebraska, but on passing through the Big Horn country was killed and scalped by Half Moon. On page 56 [of the Autobiography] is supposed to be an illut^tratlon of this encounter. Pattee, Sand- ford, Cliandler and others (see page 55) returned to Nebraska City and are now residing in that vicinity." 123 PIERS PLOUGHMAN. The Vision and the creed of.

The finest possible specimens are given of MSS. in every European and Oriental language; of such languages as Greek and Latin many specimens of every century and every style are represented. The number of reproductions of Italian, French and German Miniatures is very considerable. This is, perhaps, the finest book in the world, and the most interesting to the scholar and the man of taste. Three hundred fac-similes of the choicest manuscripts in Europe need no other recommendation than to state the fact. The French edition of this work cost nearly twenty thousand pounds in getting up. Only 250 copies were printed, of which the King of France took 66 for libraries in the various departments, and the remainder were subscribed for in Russia and Germany. 142 SONNETS ET E A U X - FORTES.

Of Vol- taire's tales, it is said that there is more variety in his subjects than in La Fontaine, rot a woman seduced or a , husband deceived. Sensuality is more decent, and with the exception of a small number of pieces, the production of his early youth, the tone of libertmism is banished. Vol- taire adopts a violent and brilliant cynicism for the punishment of vice and hypocrisy. 153 WAGE'S Chronicle of the Eoman Conquest.

The price to subscribers was £37 17e., and to non-subscribers £21. This is one of the most sumptuous works ever executed and illus- trates a phase of art unique and absolutely won- derful. " To most persons this 'dark age' (*. c, from the Roman Occupation of England to the Norman Conquest), as it has been termed, will scarcely be supposed capable of affording materials for such a " history; and indeed, with the exception of a \erj few examples given by Strutt, Astle and Shaw, no opportunity has been afforded to the public of judging of the marvellous beauty and excessive intricacy of the ornamentation and designs of Anglo-Saxon and Irish Manuscripts, until the publication of my ' Palseographia Sacra Pictoria,' in which I devotea many plates to these marvels of art. The study of these Manuscripts has, indeed, brought out the singular fact that, at a period when the fine arts may be said to have been al- most extinct in Italy and other parts of the Con- tinent—namely, from the fifth to the end of the eighth century— a style of art has been established, cultivated and brought to a wonderful state of perfection in these islands, absolutely distinct from that of all other parts of the civilized world, and which was adopted and imitated in the schools founded on the Continent by Charlemagne, as well as in the monastic establishments fonnded or visited by Anglo-Saxon and Irish missionaries, many of whiiih subsequently became the most famous seats of learning." — ^Westwood. 157 WILSON (John W.).

On his return to Paris he was elected a Royal Academician in 1765, on which oc- casion he painted his fine picture of ' Callirrhoe ' as his reception piece, which was much admired. His next work was the ' Visitation of the Virgin * for the Duke of Grammont. He soon, however, left the path of high and noble subjects which he had hitherto followed, and painted bacchanals, conversations, and subjects of French manners, many of which had an exceedingly licentious tendency."

Craft, pen artid. Thick small 4to, fresh red russia extra gilt, inside gold tooling, etc. 60 00 Unique original North American Indian Autobiography. There is a note at the commencement of this picture MS. to the effect that " This history was taken from Half Moon's dead body by Sergeant John E. Nelson, of Lieut. Rowe's Co., Second Cavalry, as certified to by Lieut. Rowe and Major James S. Brisbin, Second Cavalry." The descriptive MS. further states : "It is the custom of the Sioux warrior, as was the custom with the warriors of the Six Nations, the Natchez, the Illinois and other semi-centaur savages, to record by illustrations or pictures their several exploits in battle and the chase. In the histoiy of the trans-Mississippi tribes, those who have relied for subsistence upon the immense berds of buffalo, elk and antelope which ranged on the plains— these pictorial records have mainly been executed on the dressed sldns of animals; though in some few instances Jesuit Mission- aries testify to having seen these records handsomely and profusely illusfrated on the inner bark of the Cottonwood tree. The Missionaries taught them the uses and purposes of paper, and the Uovernment agents have always liberally supplied them with colored crayons. This book was originally tlie prop- erty of one J. S. Moore, who, in company with twenty-flve others, left Nebraska City Jime 1.5th, ISIii., for Montana. In September, 1868, Moore started to return to Nebraska, but on passing through the Big llorn country was killed and scalped by Half Moon. On page 56 [of the Autobiography] is sup - posedto be an illustration of this encounter. Pattee, Sandford, Chandler and others (see page 55) re, turned to Nebraska City and are now residing in that vicinity." 10 LA F01:TAINE (Jean de).

These were only issued by subscription, and since the whole of the rest of the edition— 2 on parchment, 50 on Whatman paper, 75 on Holland paper and 125 on VeUn paper— have been disposed of by the. publisher, collectors should avail themselves at as early a date as possible of the very limited number of remaining copies on Japanese and India papers. We cannot do better than quote the following from the circular issued by us when calling for sub- scribers : — " We offer to amateurs of precious books and to booksellers this unique translation in English of the ' Tales and Novels in Verse of J. de La Fontaine.' ' 'The original edition, published in London in 1814, from which our edition is taken, is attributed to Thomas Moore, and is so very rare and so preciously guarded by the. possessors thai; many English booksellers doubt even of its existence. "Appropriate illustrations of this masterpiece of gayety and humor being necessary, we could not make a happier choice than the marvellous iUustrations of Eisen, composed for the celebrated edition of the ' Fermiers-Gfeneraux,' edited 1762, of which we have been able to acquire the original oopper- " We borrow from MM. de Goncourt, who may always be quoted with confidence on questions per- taining to the merits of a French art ist of the eighteenth century, the following lines : " ' Among the Livres de luxe and Books of Art of the eighteenth century, there is one which is a marvel and a chef-d'oeuvre, an example without an equal of the richness of a book. This work, the great monument and triumph of the vignette, which rises above and crowns all other illustrations of the day, it is needless to state to all amateurs, is the Tales of La Fontaine, known as the edition of the Fermiers-Generaux, a truly royal book of the last Mecoenean financiers ; one of the grandest of the intelligent and sensual outlays of money of the reign of Louis SV., and an inimitable model of gallant engraving applied to the illustration of light narrative ' " We have been desirous that the letter-press of our work should be, in every respect, worthy of the illustrations, and to this end we have confided it to one of our best houses."

The features of the Emperor are given the vigor and strong traits of all the C^sars combined. This etching is a half-length of the "Petit Caporal," who is habited in the uniform of the Old Guard and wears on his breast the decoration of the Iron Crown and the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. "GEORGE WASHINGTON," ETCHED BY HENRY LEFORT. Height without margin, 24^ inches; width, 21^. Open Letter Proofs 15 00 This splendid portrait of " Pater Patrise " was etched by the famous French artist Lefort. It bears the inscription — " Henri Lefort, deline- avit et sculpsit." The etcher took as his model the three-quarter face head and epauletted continental-uniformed bust of the portrait by Gilbert Stuart, of which Washington AUston wrote: " A nobler personification of wisdom and goodness, reposing in the majesty of a serene conscience, is not to be found on canvas." Lefort has not only thoroughly incorpo- rated into his magnificent work of art all that AUston suggested, but has dealt with the dark shades and light effects as forcibly as Rembrandt ever did in any of his masterpieces of etching. ' ' To an American no other portrait can possess the interest and sig- nificance which will be always attached to that of Washington; and if in contemplating it, we feel impressed with the nobility of his character, the dignity of his manhood, his truth and patriotism, what better page can we study and what better life can we imitate and while considering the acts and results of his life, be, at the same time, forcibly reminded of the prominent events of the early history of the Republic, which, although comparatively recent in date, we, in the rapid changes of the present, already look back upon with a feeling of antiquity, but not, we hope, in a spirit of forgetfulness." — W.

Exactement Corrigde et Augmentee d'une Table des Matieres. 2 vols, minimo, fine old crushed green levant morocco extra gilt, inside gold borders, gilt edges. «. /., n. d. 35 °° Excessively rare edition of this curious work. The title bears this bogus imprint, "Nulle Part, 100070038." The " IWoyen de Parve- nir " is justly classed as one of the Shandy library. " Extremely curious from the striking pictures which it offers of the manners and knowledge of the age. From him, I suspect, Sterne took Mr. Shandy's repartee to Obadiah." — Ferriar. 17.

This is the first Mainz edi- tion of Turrecremata, and one of the notable books printed by Schoeffer after he left the employ of his master, John Guttenberg, and after the death of his partner and father-in- law, John Fflst, in 1466. Schoeffer never had a print- er's mark of his own, but continued to use those of Guttenberg and FUst, and which will be found below the colophon of the above concluding: — " Mogune. impssa. Anno dni. MCCCCLXXIIII tercio Idus sep- tembris p. petiu. Schoyffer de Gemszheim ftliciter est consumata. " The above is not only interesting as a fine specimen of the typo- graphy of the associate of the Inventor of Printing, but as one of the earliest editions of a commentary on the Psalms, that enjoyed great celebrity in various quarters for a long period of time. 19. JJIatft ILetttr.— MAMOTRECTUS, sive Expositio in Singulos Libros Bibliorum per Singula Capitula. Small 4to, old red morocco, extra gilt, rebacked. Venice, Franz Renner, of Heilbronn, and Nicholas, of Frankfort, 1476. 22 50 Very rare, with the capital letters added by hand in red. The last page is mended. According to Serna Santander, the author of this work was John Marchesinus, a priest of the order of Friars Minor, and a native of Reggio, who composed it in 1466, for the use of the less instructed in his own profession. It contains, according to the same authority — I. An exposition of the phrases of the Bible and of the prologues of St. Jerome; 2. Two little treatises of orthography and of accents ; 3. A short declaration of the months, festivals, etc., of the Jewish Priests. 4. An explanation of ancient words and terms in hymns, homilies, etc. 5. A declaration of the rules of the Friars Minor. " The title is variously written, Mommotrectus, Mammatrectus , Mammatrectus, Mammetractus, Mammonothreptus, obviously meaning that it is intended as mothet's milk to those clergymen who are infants in professional knowledge. " — Beloe. 20. iSlacfe Hetter.— DIVES and pauper. 4to, bound by Francis Bedford in brown morocco extra gilt, panelled sides, gilt edges.

It was formerly stated by bibliographers that "Dives and Pauper" should have at the end a blank leaf with the printer's device, but this is now generally denied, as no such copy appears to be known. Out- side Althorp a perfect copy hardly exists, and the whole number, in any condition, barely make up a half dozen. Even with the above- noted fac-similes the present is a most desirable copy in every way. According to Ant. k Wood the author was Henry Parker, a Car- melite of Doncaster, D.D. Cantab., whom it got into- trouble from the outspokenness of its denunciation of contemporary sins and fol- lies. It begins as follows: — " Riche and pore have like cuminge into this worlde. & like outgoyng but their livyng in this worlde is unlike. What shulde comfort a pore man ayenst grutchyng and what wyekednesses. folowe lovers of richesses. " The- book is very full of curious and suggestive matter, historical allusions and racy, proverbial phrases. The style of the dialogue appears in the following specimen: — '/ Dives, thou art the more fole. But it is a comon proverbe. A foles bolte is sone shotte. Abyde and aunswere and I wol ley an hundryd pounde that I shall preve thee by gode argumentes that he is but a fole whiche wyl not bisye him to be riche." 21.

Dedi- cated to Professor Temminck, of Leyden. The Toucans form a most curious and interesting group of American birds, and Mr. Gould has illustrated the different species in his usual splendid manner.

" This," says Mr. Gould. " the result of twenty years' investigation of the subject, is perhaps the most perfect as well as the most impor- tant of the Author's Ornithological Monographs." He further says: " The interest which attaches to this work is threefold. First, it displays, even to the most unpracticed eye, the broad distinction which subsists between the Partridges of America and those of Europe ; secondly, the species are all remarkable for the elegance of theirforms and for the chaste beauty of their coloring; and thirdly, at no distant date these birds will be regarded in America, as our partridges in Europe are, as game, and perhaps preserved by law — their flesh being as delicate for the table as that of our ordinary bird, from which, however, they differ considerably in the structure of the beak, and in general habits and economy." 109.

Consisting 0/212 pages of Gothic script on the finest 45 vellum, with wide margins, 20 lines to the page, magnifi- cently decorated in gold and colors, with 4 miniatures, 32 floriated borders, 19 large initials and 1,205 smaller. 4to, bound by Derome in fine old red morocco, tooled gilt back, inside gold borders, gilt edges. 315 00 Unique, tall and finely illuminated Fifteenth century manuscript. It came from the library of the Duke of Hamilton, at Hamilton Palace. It was executed by a Franco-Flemish artist, ^ and measures eight and three-eighths inches by five and five-eighths. On the fly-leaf is the following inscription : — ' ' Bono accepi -a domino Carolo Augusto de Madai Med. Doct. Consiliario aulic Princ. Anhaltino dotheniensis Glauchted. III. Aug. 1813. Dr. J. F. L. Duffer, M. D. " and on end paper is an inserted heraldic book-plate. The illuminations are of the finest quality of medieval workman- ship. The four miniatures are of the Evangelists and superb exam- ples. The borders are filled vdth birds, insects, animals and fruit, depicted most naturally. Nearly all the large initials are beautifully floriated in highly burnished gold and brilliant colors, but some have designs in gold diaper on a colored ground. One has the eagle of St. John, another the emblems of the Passion, still another an eagle displayed and yet another a lion rampant. 134 KllumtnateTl JWS.— BIBLIA sacra. Consisting of 1,11^ pages of aborted vellum, with many handsome ini- tial letters in gold and colors, the opening one representing a monk seated at a desk and writing ; also hundreds of initial letters in colors, with delicate pen scroll work. Small 8vo, bound in eighteenth century crushed red levant morocco gilt, edges gilt on marble. 200 00 Unique, most remarkable manuscript of the thirteenth century. This wonderful little volume, the smallest Bible known, and measur- ing four and seven-eighths inches tall, three and one-fourth inches wide and an inch and a quarter thick, contains the entire Holy Scriptures. It is a veritable ' ' minuscule, " and the text, which is microscopic, is written on the finest and thinnest vellum, made from what are the mucuous membranes, rather than the skins, of aborted calves. This marvellous curid, which must have taken many decades for the scribe to have completed the Gothic text, is from internal evidence over 650 years old. The names of some of its former owners will be found at the com- mencement. One was " C. K. Gardell" and another, a Bishop, presented it to the Marquis Beauregard. There is also a coat-of- arms — " semee of fleurs-de-lys with a differential mark in chief." 135. Kllumfnatea JWS.— liber precum. AvoI- ume of illuminated MS. prayers most beautifully executed, and consisting of 202 leaves or ^04 pages of vellum manu- script, on which there are 178 borders illuminated in gold - 46 - and colors and all different, also one page miniature, with capital letter, two coats-of-arms with mottoes, and hundreds of numerous fine initials in gold and colors in the text. Thick small 4to, handsomely bound by Chambolle-Duru in crushed levant morocco, blind tooled. 135 00 Unique, vellum, illuminated original manuscript of the fifteenth century. The calendar is old French, but the text following is in Latin. The page miniature represents the "Descent of the Holy Ghost," and in the centre is the Virgin Mother habited in blue. The bojders are very beautiful, the colors bright and the gold highly burnished. There are two heraldic emblazonments. The first at the end of the calendar is — " azure, 2 ears of corn or, in base a mullet argent, and in chief on a fess or, a rose gules." Above is the motto — " Scio cvi credidi et certvs svm." The other embazonment, and which like that just described, seems to have been added at a later date, is an impaled shield. The "baron" side bears the same arms, but the ' ' f emme " impalement is — ' ' argent a chevron gules between three trefoils gules, in chief a five-pointed star." The motto above is — " Mihi adhserere deo bonvm est. " 136- Knumfnatftr J«S. — missale romanum CUM Calendario. Consisting of 804 vellum pages of red and black Gothic script, with 3 illuminated miniatures within capitals and with page borders, 2 large colored capitals with colored borders, 1,365 capitals with red and violet ink pen scroll work, and thousands of other capitals with pen colored scroll work. Thick 4to, bound in red plush, with leather joints. 85 00 Unique original manuscript of early fifteenth century Italian exe- cution and measuring fully three inches in thickness. This grand Latin missal is a splendid specimen, and the vellum is of superior quality. The text is written in a clear bold hand, and is rubricated throughout. The thousands upon thousands of initials are most admirably drawn, and the scroll work which decorates them exhibits the best characteristics of the illuminational school of Lombardy. Two of the paintings are slightly rubbed. The opening page follow! ing the calendar has the sacred letters, "I. H. S." in black and gold. A large initial letter has within it a figure of our Savior showing the stigmata and holding a torch downward. At the bottom of the page is a heraldic shield—" on a chief or, an eagle displayed sable, in base azure two crossed jambes, or.," the last named being finished at the top with a tjiree-quarter cross. The whole page is surrounded by a bold Gothic border in gold and colors, and on the right-hand side is a kneeling tonsured ecclesiastic holding in his hand a beretta. He is habited in black and is overshadowed by a tree in blossom. On folio CCVII. are two other initial letters with a border. One heightened with gold depicts the Savior. A very fine minia- ture of St. Bernard is on folio CCCXL. — 47 — - 137- KlluniinatcTt jws.— breviarium roman- UM.

Thick small 4to, bound by ChamboUe-Duru in crushed levant morocco, blind tooled, edges temoins, and in leather- lined drop case. 85 00 Unique original vellum manuscript of the Fifteenth Century and of French origin.

This consists of lithographic plates, with texts privately issued by the London Society of Antiquaries, and in this copy the plates are most beautifully illuminated by hand in gold, silver and colors — the metal work being damascened in places. The title is a beautiful piece of original illumination and is most chaste in its design and execution. 146. Kncunaftle.— CORNELII CELSI de Medicina Liber. 4to, fine old russia, gilt.

Thick folio, bound by Silani in tree marbled calf gilt, edges gilt. Florence, impressit ex archetypo Antoniivs Miscominvs, 1492. 15 00 Editio princeps of this extremely rare Latin Version and a fine tall and perfect copy. The Horace printed on vellum by Miscomini at Florence in 1482 was priced ;^350, i. e., $1,750, in Quaritch's " Monuments of the Early Printers," 1888. Brunet calls the above Plotinus— " Edition fort belle, et la premiere de cette version Latine; on doit trouver a la fin 2ff. separes qui renferment ' Emendatio in Plotinum.' " Ficinus, the editor of this Incunable, is said to have been — " cer- tainly more of a Pagan than a Christian, although he also wrote a work on the Christian religion. The story runs that he appeared after his death to his friend and fellow Platonist Mercati, to bear tes- timony to the truth of his arguments for the immortality of the soul." 148. ISOCRATIS Sententise Graeco Latinse, additis, ubi operae precium uisum est, Annotationibus, notatisque — 53 — locis, etc. Portrait and coat of -arms.

The sides and back are tooled in a Grolieresque manner, but the designs on the two sides are different. That on the verso consists of a large oval in the centre, made up with Gothic floriation somewhat crosswise — around are small crosses — and in the corners are interlaced Gothic work. The recto is panelled, except in the centre, which is of smaller oval shape than on the verso. There are the two following letterings: — " Clarissimo, IC. D. Chris- tophoro. Fabio. Ivlio, Syndico Norimbergensi. " — " Isocratica Gnomologia, Anno D. MDLXXII." 149. JACQUEMART (Albert) et LE BLANT (Edmond).

This was Lord Teign- mouth's own set, and has his heraldic book-plate inserted. The copy from having belonged to the biographer of Sir William Jones and editor of his works, thus acquires a value greater than it might from the mere fact of its being large paper. " In the course of a short life. Sir William Jones acquired a degree of knowledge which the ordinary faculties of men, if they were — 54 — blessed with antediluvian longevity, could scarcely hope to surpass. His learning threw light on the Laws of Greece and India on the general Literature of Asia, and on the History of the family of na- tions." — Thomas Campbell. 151. KALIDASA.

Hert- ford, 1855. 25 00 Rare and a clean, well bound copy of this spirited translation and perfect specimen of decorative Oriental printing ever produced, Monier Williams, in his introduction, says: — " With reference to the illustrations and polychromatic borders, with which the volume has been enriched, I should state that the artist has availed himself of some beautiful illuminated MSS and that no expense or trouble has been spared to ensure accuracy and correctness in the delineation of the landscape and figures; and to adapt the costumes, as far as possible, to the usages of the age in which the drama was performed." 152.

This example, which is the genuine original edition, has brilliant impressions of the portraits, the numerous plates by Eisen, and charming head and tail pieces, vignettes, etc. Among the " Livres de luxe" of the eighteenth century there is one which is a marvel and a chef-d'oeuvre, an example without an equal in the richness of a book. This work, the great monument and triumph of the "vignette," which rises above and crowns all other illustrations of the day, it is needless to state to all amateurs, 55 is the Tales of La Fontaine known as the edition of the "' Fermiers- Generaux" a truly royal book of the last Meccenean financiers; one of the grandest of the intelligent and sensual outlays of money of the reign of Louis the Fifteenth, and an inimitable model of gallant engraving applied to the illustration of light narrative. 154.

Consisting of 7 7 rude colored crayon sketches by the Chief Half Moon, mounted on linen, and which are preceded by a portrait, other original sketches and explanatory manuscript in ink by William H. Craft, pen artist. Thick small 4to, fresh red russia extra gilt, inside gold tooling, etc. Unique original North American Indian Autobiography, and of which a full description, with thirteen illustrations, is given in ' ' Frank Leslie's Monthly for March, 1890. There is a note at the com- mencement of this picture MS. to the effect that " This history was taken from Half Moon's dead body by. Sergeant John R. Nelson, of Lieut. Rowe's Co. , Second Cavalry, as certified to by Lieut. Rowe and Major James S. Brisbin, Second Cavalry.'' The descriptive MS. further states : — "It is the custom of the Sioux warrior, as was the custom with the warriors of the Six Nations, the Natchez, the Illinois and other semi-centaur savages, to record by illustrations or pictures their several exploits in battle and the chase. In the his- tory of the trans-Mississippi tribes, those who have relied for sub- sistence upon the immense herds of buffalo, elk and antelope which ranged on the plains — these pictorial records have mainly been exe- cuted on the dressed skins of animals ; though in some few in- stances Jesuit Missionaries testify to having seen these records handsomely and profusely illustrated on the inner bark of the cotton- wood tree. The Missionaries taught them the uses and purposes of paper, and the Government agents have always liberally supplied them with colored crayons. This book was originally the property of one J. S. Moore, who, in company of twenty-five others, left Nebraska City, June 15th, 1866, for Montana. In September, 1S68, Moore started to return to Nebraska, but on passing through the Big Horn country was killed and scalped by Half Moon. On page 56 (of the Autobiography) is supposed to be an illustration of this encounter. Pattee, Sandford, Chandler and others (see page 55) re- turned to Nebraska City and are now residing in that vicinity." Those interested in North American pictography will do well to read Captain Gray's account of this Indian literary curiosity in " Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly," referred to above, and in the course of which the writer stated : ' ' The bibliophile is not a dog in the manger. He guards his prizes with great care, but if he instinctively knows you to be one of the clan, you can ramble among his alcoves and shelves, gloat over Aldines and Elzevirs, and wish for the wealth of a Crcesus that you might take home with you all those volumes, enriched with the bind- ings of David, Lortic, Trautz-Bauzonnet and Chambolle-Duru. " In such a treasure-house the writer the other day came across a strange, unique, yet intensely modern, book. He had wandered into the literary salon of Mr. Edmund F. Bonaventure, at the San Carlo— a delightful ' lounge ' for the bibliophile or art student. ""There is something American,' said the connoisseur, handing 6i — over a handsomely bound book. It was a pictographic autobiography of Half-Moon — otherwise called Big Turtle — a Sioux chief, killed in the battle of the Rosebud, June l8th, 1876, and who, with four other chiefs, was found lying in state on the Custer battlefield, June 28th, 1876. The book appealed at once to ' one's business and bosom,' for it contained seventy-seven colored crayon sketches, the work of the dead warrior's own hand, depicting various events and deeds of his by no means passive life. This pictorial chronicle was taken from Half Moon's dead body by Sergeant John R. Nelson, of Lieu- tenant Rowe's troop, Second Cavalry, as certified to by Lieutenant Rowe and Major James S. Brisbin, of the same regiment " 172. MARGUERITE, QUEEN OF NAVARRE. Hep- tameron; or.

This volume came from the collection of "John Dilloti," vphose autograph appears on the fly-leaf, and who has given on the same a long description of the contents of this unique volume- Mr. Dillon commenced his account by stating that " A large portion of the contents of this volume I bad from Mr. Tayleure, formerly an actor, but who latterly kept a shop, selling theatrical pictures, autographs, etc., near St. Martin's Church. I understood he had them from Mrs. Mathews after her having written the Life of her husband. The volume has cost me much trouble to arrange chronologically." The following different Entertainments were produced under the general title of " Charles Mathews at Home." The first was " Mail Coach Adventures," which was succeeded by "A Trip to Paris," "Country Cousins," "Air, Earth and Water,'' "Youthful Days," " Polly Packet," " Trip to America," " Memorandum Book " " Invi- tations," " Home Circuit," "Wanted a Partner," "Spring Meeting," and "Comic Annuals." These all appeared in the order named, and are more or less illustrated in the present collection. Many of the engravings are proof impressions, and some are colored. The books of the entertainments are as a whole exceedingly rare. - 63 - 176. MENDES (Catulle). Les lies d'Amour. Illustrated ■with 6 etchings and 38 original designs by G.

Venice, Bernardino and Filippo Stagnini, 1565. 200 00 Excessively rare work of Sansovino and in an unique binding, a chef-d-ceuvre of Petit, who not only has taken the Maioli style as his pattern, but improved on it in a strangely novel manner. The volume relates to the Orsinis, whose family colors are green and red. Petit made the cover parti-colored — thus on the recto side the mosaic is red on a green body, whereas on the verso it is green on a red body. On the back where the red and green morocco unite, this artistic treatment shows up most admirably. The silk ends are treated in the same way ; those at the front are red, at the back green. The flori- ated arabesque decoration in gold with the admixture of mosaic on a different ground make up a very rich effect. The dentelle inside bor- ders are superb. The illustrative plate, handsome as it is, does not and no illustration could do justice to this magnificent reliure. This beautiful binding forms the text for a special illustrated arti- cle, entitled " Classic Styles in Book Binding "in " Paper and Press " for January, i8go. In the course of that article, from the pen of Mr. Ingersoll Lockwood, we are told: — " On the next page of Paper AND Press there will be found a fine half-tone reproduction of an art-binding by Petit, about one-half the size of the original, specially made for Paper and Press. By comparing it with the small cut of a Maioli binding sixteenth century, Italian school, centring this page. 82 it will be at once apparent that this eminent French artist, while he gave his work the cachet ol his own individuality, yet contented him- self with the adoption of one of the accepted classic styles of book ornamentation. Several of the French and English art-binders have taken strong grounds against all servile imitation of the ' classic styles,' by which reference is intended to the designs of Maioli, Grolier, Eve, Le Gascon, Roger Payne, Padeloup, Derome, etc. These French and English binders take the position — a very dan- gerous one it would seem — that the ornamentation of a book cover should shadow forth the nature of its contents The charm of such a composition as this piece of tooling, by Petit, lies theiein, that it was the work of ' small views, ' that by his ingenuity he knew how to combine these scores of ' small views " until the beautiful ensem- ble was attained. The design differs on each cover. On the recto the leather is green morocco, with red illumination and gold tooling. "The verso, however, is clad in red morocco, the inlay being in black, the tooling remaining the same. The two leathers meet in the centre of the back,- the joint being most skillfully concealed by the tooling. . . . The beauty of a well-tooled oval, circle or interlace is the utter inability of the eye to detect the joints of the gauges. This test of tooling by Petit stands this test admirably This beautiful plate will call for the binder's closest study, and serve as model and guide, even if only one or two of its graceful combinations be made use of. Acknowledgments are due to E. F. Bonaventure, the well-known bibliopole and proprietor of the admirable library of rare books and fine bindings, New York, for permission to photo- graph the Petit cover." 221. SCOTT (Sir Walter).

This great precursor of Descartes, who embraced the Reformed Religion in 1562, founded a School of Philosophy called Ramists, who were numerous in France and England. This copy has further interest in the fact of its having belonged to Chancellor de Thou. The monogram of the great Bibliophile is repeated five times on the back and his coat-of- arms with the legend " lac Avgvst. Thvanvs " is stamped on gold on both sides. Later it came into the Heber library and was stamped on the fly leaf, " Bibliotheca Heberiana." 238.

A young woman, scissors in hand, is E. F. Bonaventure walking through a large tulip garden, considering what selection she shall .make from the carefully cultured beds. The back ground is composed of long rambling outhouses seen from between the trees. Chauvel obtained the Second " Prix de Rome " in 1854, and two medals for lithography at Salons. He was a pupil of Picot, Bellel and Aligny. He made his mark as a landscape painter, afterwards he— ' ' studied lithography under Jules Laurens and reproduces most happily the works of Corot, Bonington, Theodore Rousseau,' Diaz and Isabey. LatSr he has made etchings which are much praised by other artists. He was one of the jurors for the Exposition of 1878." COROT (Jean-Baptiste-Camille). " Paysage d'ltalie." Height, 5^ ; width, 9. Impressions on Holland Paper fe-S° One of the best of the very few original painter-etchings executed by Corot and which, as Hamerton suggests : — " have one merit and charm — they do certainly recall to mind, by association of ideas, his charming work in oil, so full of the sweetest poetical sentiment Corot is a sensitive dreamer, dwelling in a world of his own.'' " Souvenir de Toscane." Height, 4^ ; width, 7. Proofs on Holland Paper $3.50 Exquisite morceau showing a domed building between the trees and exhibiting in this work of Corot, as in those of Millet, — "the rapid, decisive expression of the central idea of the picture. '' This particular point, in relation to Corot and Millet, was made by Mr. W. J. Stillman in his lecture before the Union League Club of New York, COURTRY (C). " The Print Connoisseurs."

Proofs on Japan Paper $2. 50 An exquisite piece of etching by this pupil of Bracquemond and a water scene in which are seen two young ladies rowing, with swans swimming around them.

Impressions on Japan Paper without Title $2. 50 A lady seated beneath a tree watching the passers-by. DESBROSSES (L). " The Willow Trees by the Lakeside." Height, 19}^ ; width, 14. Remark Proofs on Japan $10.00 Desbrosses is one of the leaders of the modern French school of modern French engravers, who, as Theodore Child suggests, create on'g^inl E. F. Bonaventure productions and do not limit their efforts to simply reproducing the works of another. Desbrpsses, like them, affirms his originality, his character and his personal vision. He considers that the definitive states of an engraving ought to be judged only from choice proofs, either printed by the artist himself or under his surveillance and bearing his personal imprimatur. Thus the " Peintres Graveurs " hope to bring into existence a public of amateurs vifho will seek only fine proofs and ilite of connois- seurs who will appreciate " la belle ^preuve " as they already appreciate original paintings. In reality " la belle ^preuve " is a picture in black and white, of which there can only exist thirty or forty copies at the outside, for after that the plate gets worn, and the proofs no longer have the qua- lities and the charms which constitute a fine proof in the eyes of the connoisseur. There is therefore every reason for paying high prices for fine proofs of engravings which are not only in conception, but also in every detail of their manufacture, the direct work of the artist. " Les Baigneuses du Tyrol." Height, 19^ ; width, 13^. Remark Proofs on Parchment $I5'00 Japan Paper Proofs 10.00 Splendid plate, after Corot, himself an etcher, and whose etchings — "have one merit and charm — they do certainly recall to mind, by association of ideas, his charming work in oil, so full of the sweetest poetical sentiment." This plate, as its principal point, presents a grand old forest tree partially submerged in a Tyrolean lake. It is a companion plate to the preceding. " La Mare aux Vaches."

Proofs on Parchment $10.00 Proofs on Japan 6.00 Cattle drinking from a pool and which have made their way through a sunny forest glade, constitute the strong feature in this woodland study.

Trees, water, a ruined bridge, are here treated with masterly power. A companion to "La Mare aux Vaches. '' DETAILLE (J.-B.-E.). "The Uhlan." Height, 1 1 ; width, 8. Impressions on Japan Paper ?3.S0 This popular, but scarce etching, and its creator, the famous pupil of Meissonier, are thus referred to by Hamerton : — " Detaille, who has become celebrated as a painter very early in life, etches with consummate ease and skill, which may be attributed to his habit of making clever croquis of what he sees, for subsequent use in his pictures. His two plates, ' Un Uhlan ' and ' Trompette de Chasseurs,' are as good as anything well can be in that light-handed, sketchy manner, being full of the • closest observation expressed with admirable ease. Any critic can say that these are ' mere sketches,' because all the paper is not blackened ; but he who knows what good drawing is, and where to look for it, will find more of it in a horse's leg by Detaille, sketched from memory in five minutes, than in many a labored engraving." " The Cuirassier." Height, 1 1 ; width, 8. Impressions on Japan Paper $3-50 A companion etching to the preceding and like it most admirably depicting a soldier on horseback. FLAMENG (Leopold). " Ronde de Nuit," after Rembrandt. Height, \2}i\ width, 15;^. Impressions on Holland Paper $8.00 Companion piece to Flameng's etching of the "Hundred Guilder Print," which follows. E. F. Bonaventure " Flaraeng is really one of those illustrious men whose labors make epochs in the history of the fine arts." — Hamerton. " Christ Healing the Sick," known as the "Hundred Guilder Print," after Rembrandt. Height, IJ^ ; width, ii. Impressions on Holland Paper Hamerton writes: — "He (Flameng) produced a copy of one of Rembrandt's most difficult and complicated etchings — a. copy which cer- tainly far exceeds the most perfect photograph in accuracy, whilst at the same time it possesses, as a piece of execution in etching, ajl those technical merits for which Rembrandt himself was famous. It is not an exaggeration of the truth to affirm that there exists in Europe in our own day a man who may be said to possess the hand and eye of Rembrandt It may be difficult to convey to the reader that full apprehension of the wonder of such a work as this. In a certain sense it may be boldly affirmed that as a technical performance merely, such a copy as this is even more wonderful than the original plate itself." " Un Pere de I'Eglise." Height, II : width, 8}4. Impressions on Holland Paper $2.00 Splendid study of head and of a somewhat Rembrandtesque type. It represents a mitred and aged ecclesiastic reading from an old tome.

Lambert. One little kitten is in a work-bcjx, another is watching her, another is playing with a ball of worsted, while still another is trying to clamber on to the table.

Proofs on Japan Paper before all Letters, Signed 17-50 A splendid architectural plate by one of the best modern French etchers. This view of the grand cathedral church of Paris is taken from the south-east and shows one entire side of the building. The beautiful gothic details of the lovely lady chapel, the stately towers, the flying buttresses, the delicate window tracery, and the "tout ensemble" of this triumph of the highest type of medievelism appeal at once to the cultured eye of the connoisseur. The surrounding accompaniments of the Seine in which fishermen are plying the gentle sport, the bridge across the glassy river, and the verdant trees above which the Tour Saint- Jacques is seen in the distance, make up a masterful example of the burin. GERY-BICHARD. " The Amateur-Artist."

Height, 8J4:; width, 5^. Proofs on Parchment, with Remark and Signed $lo.oo This superb etching faithfully reproduces — " the brilliancy and fire of Meissonier," from whose original it is taken. Gilbert, who is one of the most accurate draughtsmen living, was one of the jurors for awarding the prizes at the Paris Salon of 1885, but made his reputation international in his etching of Charles Jacque's " La Sortie." GILBERT (J.). " Un Nuage." Height, 9 ; widght, ^%. Impressions on Holland Paper $1 .00 This charming etching, after the original painting of J. Rongee, illustrates a lover's quarrel. Some jar has occurred between a cavalier and his lady-love, while wandering through the woods. He, with averted face, is beating down the wild flowers, while she, holding a spray in her hands, walks with downcast eyes. GRAVESANDE (Charles Storm van S'). " Fishing Boats, near Rotterdam."

It is a good representative example of the etchings of this eminent Dutch artist, of whom John Williamson Palmer says : — " I find Gravesande the ideal painter-etcher, — a maker of illusions rather than of lines, — whose lines are so fused and lost in the perfect whole that we see and feel what is done, with never a thought for the means whereby it got itself done. It is a comfort to sit down before the work of such an artist as this." E. F. Bonaventure HADEN (Francis Seymour). " Egham Lock." Height, S^ ; width, Zy^. Proofs in First State, before the Change $15.00 " Francis Seymour Haden is an artist of rare endowment and consum- mate practical skill In a few weeks one of the busiest surgeons in London found himself one of its most celebrated artists A never ending subject of wonder to me in Haden's work is that it is not only art, but pure art — art reigning unopposed in its own realm." — Hamerton. "Old Chelsea out of Whistler's Window, 1863." Height, 6% ; width, 8^. Proofs in First State, before the Change |iS.oo Very rare state of this celebrated etching of Seymour Haden which gives an unique view of the Thames and Chelsea, with remarkable Rembrandtesque sky effect.

The features of the Emperor are given the vigor and strong traits of all the CiEsars combined. This etching is a half length of Napoleon, who is habited in the uniform of the Old Guard and wears on his breast the decoration of the Iron Crown and the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor. HUNT (Leigh). " The Dock at Calais." Height, 4^ ; width, 6. Proofs on Japan Paper $2. 50 Original painter-etching dated 1886. " That the craft of the healer of the sick should contribute to a special field of art some of its most distinguished members is worth a note. We E. F. Bonaventurc all know of Dr. Seymour Haden, and of Dr. Leroy Minton Yale, as etchers. Now I see, by the printsellers' windows, that Dr. Leigh Hunt has entered into rivalry with his powerful predecessors Dr. Hunt as an etcher can sustain criticism with any of his professional compeers. He has a keen eye for the picturesque, an acute sympathy with the poetic phases of nature, and exhibits much skill in his mastery of his medium, while his draughtmanship betrays an observant eye and a well trained hand." — Town Topics. JACQUE (Charles). Rural Landscapes, Farm Interiors and Exteriors, and other Similar Subjects. — 20 Etchings in all. Height and width varying. Impressions on Japan and Holland Papers without Titles. $2.50 and $2.00 each. It is almost unnecessary to describe the twenty etchings I have in all by this master, whose works have merited a volume of one hundred and fifty pages from the pen of J. J. Guiffrey, and whose larger and more important etchings command the highest price in both America and Europe. As Jules Claretie remarks: — "The time is long past when Charles Jacque gave for a few francs, engravings that now sell at fabulous rates,'' as for instance a proof of his etching of — "a Girl Knitting," which sold at a Paris sale in 1872 for $820. The above plates, of which I have secured a considerable number in variety, range from 7^ and 5 inches in width to SJ^ and 3 inches in height. JACQUEMART (J.) "An Imperial Reception."

Parchment Remark Proofs $15.00 Proofs on Japan Paper g.oo This delightful conception is in itself a romance of love by the light of the moon. But in this case, however, it is the moon itself that is loved, for out of her pellucid depths has appeared a vision of the lady love of a gallant troubadour, who, guitar on back, is with uncovered head, saluting in rhapsody the nude form of his beloved. JAZINSKI, after L£ FEBVRE. " Diva Vittoria Colonna." Height, loX ! width, 1%. Parchment Remark Proofs $lo.oo Japan Remark Proofs 6.00 Handsome portrait of the famous friend of Tasso, Ariosto and Michael Angelo, and whose elevated character, intellectual gifts and personal beauty are done justice to in this speaking etching. She was one of the loveliest characters of medievalism, was ever surrounded by the good and learned, and apparently seemed to have lived solely to afford solace and help to the needy and devote herself to all the nobler charities of life. This etching is interesting as to costume. JAZINSKI, after VIG^E LE BRUN. " Femme au Manchon." Height, 14; width II. Parchment Remark Proofs $15.00 Japan Remark Proofs 9.00 . The original painting of this charming etching is best known as the "Lady with Muff," and is after the famous portrait in the Louvre, by Madame Marie Louise Elisabeth Vig6e Le Brun, who was honored by admission to the Academies of Paris, Bologna, St. Luke at Rome, Berlin, St. Petersburg, Geneva and others. During her ninety years of life, she painted 662 portraits, 1 5 compositions and 200 landscapes. Her 14 E. F. Bonaventure heads are much in the style of Greuze, whose genre she accepted as her "metier,"' after copying the works of Rubens and Rembrandt. Her portraits of Marie Antoinette, Madame de Stael, Lady Hamilton, Lord Byron and George the Fourth are world famous. The above is of herself. It depicts the artist's sunny face, with sparkling eyes and kissful lips, beneath a broad-brimmed Rembrandt hat. Her hands are buried deep in a monster muff — hence the title of the painting. JONGKIND. " The Port of Antwerp." Height, 6; width, 9^.

Impressions on Holland or Japan Paper, without Title $2.50 Hamerton says : — " Jongkind is invaluable to the student of etching as an example of simple line work pushed to its utmost extreme.

Open Letter Proofs $15.00 This splendid portrait of " Pater Patri^ " was etched by tlie famous French artist Lefort. It bears the inscription — '* Henri Lefort, delineavit et sculpsit." The etcher toolc as his model the three-quarter face head and epauletted continental-uniformed bust of the pqrtrait by Gilbert Stuart, of which Washington Allston wrote: "A nobler personification of wisdom and goodness, reposing in the majesty of a serene conscience, is not to be found on canvas." Lefort has not only thoroughly incorpor- ated into his magnificent work of art all that Allston suggested, but has dealt with the dark shades and light effects as forcibly as Rembrandt ever did in any of his masterpieces of etching. "To an American no other portrait can possess the interest and significance which will be always attached to that of Washington; and if in contemplating it, we feel impressed with the nobility of his character, the dignity of his manhood, his truth and patriotism, what better page can we study and what better life can we imitate and while considering the acts and results of his life, be, at the same time, forcibly reminded of the prominent events of the early history of the Republic, which, although comparatively recent in date, we, in the rapid changes of the present, already look back upon with a feeling of antiquity, but not, we hope, in a spirit of forgetfulness." — W.

FIFTY FOLIO HAND COLORED PLATES Loose in half cloth portfolio, Limited to an Edition of one hundred. Price per set $i7-5o This most interesting collection exhibits in fifty spirited plates colored by hand the Military Costumes of France during the Revolution and First Empire, and includes seven different portraits of the Great Napoleon, dating from the time when he was a pupil at the Military School until the year 1812.

There are also depicted the French Guard (July 14th, 1789), the Regiment of Flanders, and the Swiss officers and guards at the outbreak of the Revolution. Fusiliers, grenadiers, chasseurs, artillery, lancers, mame- lukes, gendarmes and others are represented, both officers and men, not forgetting color-sergeants and drum-majors.

' ' Like the author of the " King of Yvetot, ' ' the subjects of his genius were the warlike, the patriotic, the sentimental, the liberal and the comic.
