Houghton Library, Harvard University, made possible a month's stay in the spring of 1994, working on the manuscripts of several different authors. The generosity and hospitality of the Governors of the Lewis Walpole Library allowed me to make two visits, in the autumn of 1994 and in March 1995, working with its collections of Walpole's manuscripts and books. The award of a travel grant by the Bibliographical Society ensured that I was able to make several necessary journeys to different locations within the British Isles, including Edinburgh, Alnwick Castle, and Winchester, during the last two years of the research. The Co-Directors of the Index, Margaret M. Smith and Barbara Rosenbaum, the publisher, and myself, wish to record our gratitude to all of these institutions.

Volume III, Part 4 of the Index of English Literary Manuscripts has been published with the financial assistance of several institutions, here gratefully acknowledged in chronological order of receipt. Since 1991 this Part has been supported principally by Major Research Grants from the British Academy, which for the academic years 1993-5 were administered as a Research Fellowship at the University of Reading. Further funds came from Unesco on the recommendation of the International Council for Philosophy and Humanistic Studies. For the years 1993-5 assistance was also received from the British Library through its scheme of Grants for Cataloguing and Preservation. A bursary from the John Rylands University Library of Manchester enabled me to spend three weeks at the Department of Special Collections, Deansgate, working on the manuscripts of Hester Lynch Thrale. The award of the Joan E. Nordell Visiting Fellowship by the

Finally, thanks are due to the University of Reading, which has acted as host institution to the Index for the past two years.

Higgs of Mansell Publishing for her kindly patience and understanding.

Eleven authors are included in this final part of Volume III of the Index, beginning with Laurence Sterne and concluding with Edward Young. It also includes the final cumulative first-line index of all the verse which is described in the manuscript entries or mentioned in the Introductions in Parts 1-4 of Volume III.

Naturally completion of Part 4 would have been impossible without the co-operation of many librarians, private owners, and scholars. Several have helped with more than one section: Giuseppe Bisaccia, Curator of Manuscripts, Boston Public Library; Dr Roger Custance, Fellows' Librarian, and Dr Geoffrey Day, Winchester College; J.J. Eyston of Mapledurham House, and the Hon. Archivist, Richard G. Williams; Mark R. Farrell, Curator of the Robert H. Taylor Collection, Princeton University Library; Sara Hodson of the Huntington; Dr Dorothy Johnston, Department of Manuscripts, University of Nottingham Library; Margaret Kulis, Special Collections, the Newberry Library, Chicago; Dr Peter McNiven and the staff of the Department of Special Collections, John Rylands University Library of Manchester; His Grace the Duke of Northumberland, and Colin Shrimpton, Archivist at Alnwick Castle; Stephen Parkes, Curator of the Osborn Collection at Yale, and his assistants, John Bertram and Gary Sanderling; Richard Wendorf, Leslie Morris, and the staff of the Houghton Library, Harvard University; and Laetitia Yeandle, Curator of Manuscripts at the Folger Shakespeare Library. And throughout the research I have been constantly obliged to the staffs of Cambridge University Library, the British Library, and the Bodleian Library, in particular to Stella Clarke, Julian Conway, Morag Law, Nicola Thwaite, and Godfrey Waller.

One stylistic innovation has been made in Part 4, the adoption of the editorial convention of angled brackets to indicate deletions in the MSS. As in the past, it has proved difficult to fix upon an absolutely consistent policy towards transcripts of verse. On the one hand, current practice in textual criticism is to collate all MSS, and it is not part of the Index's function to preempt editorial decisions as to textual authority. On the other, it has seemed pointless to give entries to transcripts which are dated considerably after the author's death, or where there are reasonably clear indications that transcription was made from a printed text; such cases have not been listed, but are mentioned in the Introductions to each author section. No doubt some transcripts which have received entries may also derive from printed sources, but they have always a certain value as evidence of what contemporary readers admired, or of the circulation of controversial satires and ballads. I wish to thank all my colleagues on the Index, Peter Beal, Barbara Rosenbaum, but especially Margaret M. Smith with whom I collaborated on Volume III, Part 3, and who has entrusted me to complete the work she had so ably conducted for several years. As Director of the project, she has continued to act as general and advisory editor. All the sections are the better for her criticism, and her experience has been an invaluable resource in dealing with the difficulties of description which manuscripts sometimes pose. And I am grateful to Veronica

The Rt Hon. Viscountess Eccles expressed regret that her own scholarly commitments and lack of staff at Four Oaks Library did not permit her to assist the Index as she might have wished, but gave kind permission to repeat such information on the collection as is already publicly available and in print. It should be borne in mind

Laurence Sterne 1718-68

Verse and Shorter Prose Works

In December 1761, just before leaving for France in the hope of regaining his health, Laurence Sterne left two pages of 'Memorandums' with Mrs Elizabeth Montagu, making provision for his wife Elizabeth and their daughter in the event of his death by detailing MSS which might be published to provide them with funds. The 'Memorandums', StL 9, now at the Pierpont Morgan, mention a trunk in the keeping of his friend John HallStevenson, containing MSS of sermons, letters, a Latin university sermon which he had composed for John Fountayne, Dean of York, together with further letters at the Cox wold parsonage and at the Sternes' town house in York. Sterne was in fact to live another six years; but when he died, his daughter Lydia Sterne Medalle prepared editions of his letters and unpublished sermons as he had once intended. Before Lydia took possession of the letters and papers, however, they were examined by the Rev John Botham, Elizabeth Sterne's brother-in-law and occasional secretary to Elizabeth Montagu, who took it upon himself to destroy whatever he thought unfit for the widow to see. Among the MSS destroyed by Botham may have been a 'comic romance' which Sterne mentions in his last letters as newly begun. Nevertheless, Sterne is almost unique among the major eighteenthcentury novelists (the other exception is Fanny Burney) in that a significant amount of autograph and other authoritative MSS of his novels survive. A comprehensive list of Sterne MSS was printed in Wilbur L. Cross, The Life and Times of Laurence Sterne, 3rd edition (London, 1929), pp. 618-32. Much of Cross's list is taken up with letters and documents, and his very inclusiveness resulted in a large number of unlocated items, some the whereabouts of which had been unknown since the middle of the last century or even earlier. Fortunately, a very few of these MSS are now accessible again.

Only one poem by Sterne, The Unknown 0', has been recorded as surviving in a MS text and even that has been unlocated for over a century. The MS, StL 1, was preserved by his successors in the curacy of Coxwold until one of them, George Scott, lent it to a local historian, Thomas Gill, for publication in Vallis Eboracensis (Easingwold, 1852). Comparison with the original publication in the Gentleman's Magazine, July 1743, shows that besides the common contractions the MS version used some recurring symbols, for example '0' for 'World' as in the title. The MS seems to have disappeared soon after, although it was rumoured to be in the possession of one of the Scott family. Autograph MSS survive for Sterne's short autobiographical 'Memoirs' and 'A Fragment in the Manner of Rabelais'. Although these two items were not published until after Sterne's death by Lydia Sterne Medalle, they are now regarded by scholars as early works. Indeed in the case of the 'Memoirs' it has been the recovery of the MS which has prompted the realization of its early date, and also the extent of Lydia Medalle's editorial interference. A facsimile edition has been produced as Sterne's Memoirs: A Hitherto Unrecorded Holograph Now brought to Light in Facsimile, Introduction and Commentary by Kenneth Monkman, privately printed for the Laurence Sterne Trust (Coxwold, 1985). The MS has very recently been sold at Christies's, 29 June 1995, Lot 371, with facsimile. It runs to 13 pages of text, written in a small notebook formed from a foolscap sheet which has been folded three times and stitched. There are thirteen pages of text, pp. 6, 8, and 12 being blank, and also p. 10 except for a an addition for p. 11 facing. A note on p. 2 reads 'Memord. I have sent down these particulars relating to my family and Self, for my Lydia, In

1

LAURENCE STERNE Case hereafter She might have a Curiosity of a kinder Motive to know them—', and a second note at the bottom of p. 15 reads This I thought fit to set down Sept. 5th <1758> having in a pensive Moode, run over these Incidents, in my mind I spent half an hour in <Setting> transmitting them for my Lydia'. The date in this second note shows that Sterne composed the sketch for Lydia's future benefit when she was still a child, whereas a previous generation of Sterne scholars had presumed that he had written it towards the end of his life. Equally important, it is now evident that the text as eventually published by Lydia Sterne Medalle alters and omits passages from this MS, and furthermore is a conflation with another autobiographical MS now lost.

MS some modern Sterne scholars are doubtful about Sterne's authorship of the fragment. Mention may be made here of an item, which although by its nature it has not received an entry, possesses considerable interest. Edward Simmens, 'Sterne's A Political Romance: New Light from a Printer's Copy', PBSA, 64 (1970), 419-29, describes a copy of Sterne's 1759 skit which has an uncancelled leaf A1 with one of the corrected readings marked up in an unidentified hand. Further marginal notes, also in an unidentified hand, name the persons involved in the original dispute. Sermons On Sterne's death, eighteen unpublished sermons were discovered, with others, in the trunk left in the care of John Hall-Stevenson. Hall helped Lydia Sterne Medalle to prepare the sermons for publication in a three-volume edition to supplement the four volumes published by her father in his lifetime as The Sermons of Mr. Yorick. It is perhaps not altogether coincidental that the two sermons for which MSS survive both appeared in the posthumous collection: 'Temporal Advantages of Religion', StL 14, at the Huntington, see FACS; and 'On Penancies', StL 13, at the Pierpont Morgan. Cross, Life, lists two further MSS of sermons once seen by the bibliophile Isaac Reed. These were The Ways of Providence Justified to Man', and 'Our Conversation in Heaven'. The former MS had a note reading, 'I have borrowed most of the Reflections upon the Characters from Wollaston, or at least have enlarged from his hints, though the Sermon is truly mine such as it is'; the latter MS was apparently endorsed near the end, 'Made for All Saints and preached on that Day 1750 for the Dean.— Present: 1 Bellows Blower, 3 Singing men, 1 Vicar & 1 Residentiary.— Memorandum: Dined with Duke Humphrey'. But since neither of these MSS has been seen since the end of the eighteenth century, they have not been given entries, even as unlocated MSS.

Likewise a comparison of Lydia Sterne Medalle's text of 'A Fragment in the Manner of Rabelais', with the autograph MS, StL 3, has revealed omissions and inaccuracies. The complete text of the latter has been edited and described in Melvyn New, 'Sterne's Rabelaisian Fragment: A Text from the Holograph Manuscript', PMLA, 72 (1985), 1083-92, including facsimiles of ff. 12. The text consists of an untitled draft of two chapters, and a later unidentified hand has noted 'An original And in Sterne's hand-writing In collected edition of the Works it is entitled "The Fragment" etc.'. The MS consists of 23 leaves, apparently foliated in a later hand; only the rectos have been used, except for a cancelled reading on f. llv, an insertion on f. 19v, and what may be a numeral T on f. 7v. It is now at the Pierpont Morgan, and was at one time owned by the nineteenthcentury collector Alexander A. Smets of Savannah, Georgia; for some account of the Smets collection see Jay B. Hubble, 'Some Uncollected Poems by Joseph Addison', MP, 36 (1939), 277-81. Among the MSS which are currently unlocated is that which was published as 'Fragment Inedit' in a French thesis by Paul Stapfer, Laurence Sterne'. Etude biographique et litteraire (Paris, 1870), pp. xvi-lii. The fragment, headed simply 'To Mr. Cook', recounted in the first person a dream which took the form of a cosmic vision, apparently inspired by Fontenelle's Entretiens de la pluralite des mondes. The MS, StL 2, was owned by an unidentified lady of York, and lent to Stapfer through the Rev John Gates, Principal of Elizabeth College, Guernsey, who returned the MS after Stapfer had transcribed it. Unfortunately the owner was then taken severely ill, and Stapfer felt obliged to refrain from enquiries as to its provenance or a request to see it again; he believed it, however, to be written in Sterne's hand and also attempted to justify his attribution on internal and stylistic grounds. Nevertheless, in the absence of the

Tristram Shandy Special circumstances surround the extant portion of autograph MS of Sterne's masterpiece in that is a fair copy of the 'Le Fever episode', StL 4, made for presentation to an aristocratic admirer prior to publication. When it was published as Vol. VI, chapters 6-13, it became one of the most popular passages in the novel. Cross, Life, listed the MS as having been formerly owned by Earl Spencer at Althorp but sold in 1898, and subsequently untraced. It has since been rediscovered with the deposit of the Althorp Papers at the British Library, where it is temporarily catalogued as Althorp Papers F.I76.

LAURENCE STERNE The MS has been described and collated, with facsimiles, in Melvyn New, 'A Manuscript of the Le Fever Episode in Tristram Shandy', The Scriblerian, 22 (1991), 165-74. It consists of fourteen unnumbered leaves written on both sides. It begins with a title-page, 'Le Fever's Story', overleaf is the conclusion of Chapter 5, headed 'The Conclusion of the Chapter leading to the Story', and the actual story of Le Fever begins on the third page. The text ends on p. 27, and overleaf is a note in the hand of Lady Spencer, The Story of Le Fever, sent to me by Sterne before it was published'. Bound following the MS is a letter noting its return to Earl Spencer, written on British Museum stationery by Sir George Frederick Warner, 18 February, 1898. This is of course the year in which Cross believed the MS had been sold.

A Sentimental Journey There are three authoritative MSS of Sterne's second novel, an autograph MS of Vol. I lacking just over three chapters, StL 10, and a complete transcript of Vols. I-II, StL 11-12, made from StL 10 and a presumably autograph MS of Vol. II now lost. The authoritative account of these MSS, their relation to each other and to the printed text, is that of Gardner B. Stout in his critical edition of A Sentimental Journey. To this the present writer is much indebted. The autograph MS of Vol. I which served as printer's copy, now British Library, MS Egerton 1610, was at one time owned by the collector William Upcott who has added extra-illustrative materials from a variety of sources, mainly some engravings and the 'Memoir' excised from I.E. Nicholl's edition (1840?), and a titlepage in his own hand, 'The Sentimental Journey through France Written by Lawrence Sterne M.A. This Manuscript is in the Autograph of the Author. William Upcott, Islington 1843'. Of more interest is a tipped-in letter written by Jemima Day, 7 July 1843, probably addressed to Upcott, which reveals the provenance of the MS. It had belonged to her father for the previous forty years, and before that to her grandfather John Farnworth, who possibly acquired it through his friend the Rev Harvest, although she also speculates on some possible family connection with Sterne himself.

Contrary to previous Sterne scholarship, the staff of the Department of Manuscripts at the British Library have asserted that the MS is not autograph throughout, but only the title-page, the 'lead-in' from Chapter 5, some corrections, and the very last line; that a different ink was used for these portions is offered as supporting evidence. Professor New feels obliged to defer to this judgment, although he ventures that the main body of the text may be written in a more formal version of Sterne's hand as befits a fair copy made for presentation. The present writer is of Professor New's opinion. The collation of the MS with the published text reveals three important differences: some reassignment of the dialogue in the introductory excerpt from Chapter 5; the omission of the digression on sermons in Chapter 11; the MS is extremely lightly punctuated and lacks italics for proper names, although it occasionally uses double underlining for emphasis. Professor New also notes some minor substantive variants, most of which can be reasonably assumed to be copying errors, for example the omission of a phrase or a single word.

Sterne's MS begins on f. 11 according to the British Library's pencil foliation, but following Stout's example the contemporary foliation will be used in discussion here. It is headed 'A Sentimental Journey &c ... &c ...', which corresponds to the half-title of the early editions, and is a fair copy with revisions, written on the rectos only except for two notes and an insertion, some cancelled passages, and a cancelled folio number. It would appear to have been originally loose sheets, and Sterne took a new leaf when starting each chapter. The 161 leaves are numbered [1J-55, with an unnumbered leaf following 52, and 70-174, in the original foliation. The missing portion of the text is the latter half of the thirteenth chapter through to the sixteenth chapter inclusive. Throughout the MS are markings made by the printer in the process of casting off, a square bracket, 'Vol. I', and signature number; these usually appear in the left-hand margin. A note beside the chapter title on f. [1], '13 Sheets/No 2500/150 fine', indicates number of sheets, number of sets, and the size and quality of paper.

The other important MS of Tristram Shandy, StL 5, remains unlocated in spite of the efforts of Sterne scholars. According to William Durrant Cooper, 'Sterne Papers and Notes', N & Q, 2nd Ser., 7 (1859), 15, it was among the Turner of Kirkleatham MSS, and at that time owned by a Mrs Newcomen. Cooper describes the MS as a transcript of Vol. IV, chapters 1-17, in an unidentified hand which he had also seen in a MS at Skelton Castle of rules and minutes for a social club of Sterne and his friends. Two corrections, however, were made in Sterne's autograph: the scribe's last paragraph of Chapter 7 was cancelled and Sterne's autograph version (the apostrophe to Garrick) written overleaf; the last sentence of Chapter 15 was also in Sterne's hand.

The two-volume transcript is now at the Pierpont Morgan. StL 11, Vol. I, consists of 178 leaves, a preliminary blank, a title-page, the text foliated [lj-174, with an

LAURENCE STERNE

unnumbered blank between 88/9, and a final blank leaf. Vol. II, StL 12, consists of 187 leaves, a preliminary blank leaf, a title-page, the text foliated 1-184, and another blank leaf. Vol. I and also the title-page, ff. [1]85, and 87-156 of Vol. II are transcribed in one hand; the remaining leaves of Vol. II are written by a second transcriber, who unlike the first has supplied catchwords. Both volumes are written on the rectos only, and their alterations are corrections of errors in transcription rather than revisions. StL 11 largely preserves the accidentals of the autograph StL 10, and the copyist evidently attempted to maintain a page-for-page correspondence. There are similar indications that StL 12 tries to preserve a correspondence to the lost autograph Vol. II.

which have only one set of cancelled numbers, are remarkably free from revision compared with the other leaves of this chapter; the hand is larger as if a deliberate attempt was made to fill out the leaves, especially noticeable at the bottom of f. 73; furthermore the conclusion of f. 73 is evidently a revised version of a cancelled passage at the top of f. 74: Stout therefore proposes that ff. 72-3 are replacements for a discarded leaf which was numbered '60'. The transcribed StL 11 follows exactly the corrected foliation of StL 10, and its chapter 13 ends on f. 58; Sterne's foliation was one digit out, and his equivalent was therefore f. 59: which leads Stout to his final conclusion that chapter 18 originally followed chapter 13, but was transposed before the transcription was made.

Stout draws a number of conclusions from both a comparison of the texts of the MSS, and a detailed examination of their respective foliation. His argument is summarized here for the reader's convenience. StL 11 follows most, but not all, of the revisions in the autograph StL 10; StL 12 has also some substantive differences from the printed text of Vol. II. It would seem therefore that Sterne made further revisions to StL 10 after his amanuenses had made their transcription, and so it rather than the transcript was used as printer's copy. Further evidence that this recension was at one point so heavy that leaves were discarded and replaced is provided by changes in the foliation of StL 10. Sterne numbered each leaf of StL 10 before he wrote it out, but he misnumbered the seventeenth leaf '18' and continued accordingly. The error was corrected by the amanuensis who transcribed StL 10, either before or in the course of making his transcription into StL 11. Thus ff. 1-17 are foliated in Sterne's hand, and 17-49, 53-5, and 70-174 are renumbered in the hand of the amanuensis, Sterne's number being cancelled. But a comparison of StL 10 and the printed text against StL 11 shows that StL 10's text on ff. 50-2 was heavily revised and written out again by Sterne after the amanuensis had made the transcript. It would appear that Sterne discarded the first ff. 50-1, deleted the number on f. 52, and added the present ff. 50-2. Consequently the latter are numbered in Sterne's hand alone, and followed by an unnumbered leaf with, however, a cancelled numbering '52'.

The Journal to Eliza The autograph MS of the journal which Sterne wrote to Mrs Elizabeth Draper, StL 15, was discovered in a private collection at Bath by Thomas Washbourne Gibbs, then only an eleven year-old schoolboy, but who fortunately had heard sufficient about Sterne to realize that his find was worth preserving. Later in life Gibbs lent the MS to William Makepeace Thackeray, who drew upon it for the attack upon Sterne's character which he made in his lectures on The English Humourists of the Eighteenth Century. Gibbs gave some account of his discovery and the MS in 'Some Memorials of Laurence Sterne', a paper read to the Bath Literary Institution and published in The Athenceum, No. 2631, 30 March 1878, pp. 412-14. The MS is now bound with related material in British Library, Add. MS 34527. On f. 1 is a note by Sterne which characteristically explains and attempts to conceal the nature of the 'Journal': This Journal wrote under the fictitious Names of Yorick & Draper— and sometimes of the Bramin & Bramine— but tis a Diary of the miserable feelings of a person separated from a Lady for whose Society he languish'd'— The real names— are foreigne— & the Acct. a Copy from a french Manst.— in Mr S—s hands— but wrote as it is, to cast a Viel over them—'. The second pair of pseudonyms refer to Elizabeth Draper's nickname for her clerical admirer as her 'Bramin' and his corresponding name for her of the 'Bramine'. The note continues 'There is a Counterpoint— which is the Lady's Accnt. what transactions dayly happened— & what Sentiments occupied her mind, during this Separation from her Admirer'. If such a corresponding journal by Eliza herself ever existed, it is now lost. Likewise the heading on p. 1, 'Continuation of the Bramines Journal' shows that the extant MS is the

Stout also argues that Sterne originally wrote the eighteenth chapter between the present thirteenth and fourteenth chapters. The leaves of chapter 18 in StL 10 have been refoliated by the amanuensis as 72-7; Sterne's foliation was 74-5, and four leaves which have two cancelled numbers, i.e. 76/61, 77/62, 78/63, 647/79. It would appear therefore that these leaves once occupied a place somewhere in the hiatus in the MS. Ff. 72-3,

LAURENCE STERNE This last item is described in W.G. Day, 'Sterne's Books', The Library, 31 (1976), 245-8, a short but useful overview of the problems relating to our knowledge of Sterne's library. In addition to the autograph signature and note, there are marginal notes on some 14 pages, and the last seven pages of Vol. I are supplied in MS; but both Lewis Perry Curtis, who donated the set to Yale, and Dr Day have tentatively identified the hand as that of Lydia Sterne.

latter portion of the 'Journal' only. According to his letters, Sterne gave a first part of it to Eliza Draper on board ship just before her departure for India and began a new journal against her return. He then changed his mind and sent this second part to her in the care of a Mr Watts. The latter sailed for Bombay on 12 April, and the extant MS was begun that day. Bound following the 'Journal' are two autograph letters from Sterne to William and Anne James, 16 August 1767 and 28 December 1767, ff. 41-2 and 43-4. On ff. 45-6 are autograph drafts of a letter from Sterne to Daniel Draper, Eliza's husband, and on ff. 47-70 a very long letter from Elizabeth Draper to Mrs Anne James, dated from Bombay, 15 April 1772. Then come two letters from Thackeray to T.W. Gibbs: an acknowledgement of the safe receipt of the MS, 31 May [1851], f. 72; and its return with thanks, 12 September [1851], ff. 736. Finally, ff. 78-93 are a printed copy of Letters from Yorick to Eliza (London, 1779).

Neither does the sale catalogue make any mention of the volume of printed and MS poems and tracts now in the Bradshaw Collection at Cambridge University Library, which is known to have belonged to Sterne. The contents are mainly Irish material dating from the second quarter of the eighteenth century, including some transcripts of poems by Jonathan Swift, see his section SwJ 61 and 221; but also a transcript in an unidentified hand of The Ballyspellan Ballad' by Swift's friend, Patrick Delany, with an autograph annotation by Sterne, StL 16.

Library and Marginalia

Sterne's autograph entries in the borrowing register at York Minster have been recorded in C.B.L. Barr, Laurence Sterne's Borrowings from York Minster Library, 1741-54, unpublished list prepared by the assistant librarian in charge, York Minster Library, for the Laurence Sterne Bicentenary Conference, 1968, cited by Cash, Sterne: Early & Middle Years, pp. 204-5.

Shortly after Sterne's death the York booksellers Todd and Sotheran issued A Catalogue of a Curious and Valuable Collection of Books, Among Which Are Included the Entire Library of the Late Reverend and Learned Laurence Sterne, A.M. Prebendary of York. Facsimile editions of this sale catalogue have twice been published this century, by Tregaskis in 1930, with an introduction by Charles Whibley, and more recently by Mansell with an introduction by Stephen Parks. Unfortunately Sterne scholars have established that the catalogue includes many books drawn from the booksellers' other stock, so much so that it is impossible to determine which are the genuine contents of Sterne's library; secondly, the catalogue omits the handful of books which are known to have belonged to Sterne. For example, Lewis Perry Curtis, The Politicks of Laurence Sterne (Oxford, 1929), pp. x-xi, concluded that the file of the newspaper, The Protestant York Courant, listed in the catalogue was Sterne's; but Kenneth Monkman, 'Sterne, Hamlet and Yorick', in The Winged Skull: Papers from the Laurence Sterne Bicentenary Conference, edited by Arthur H. Cash and John Stedmond (London, 1971), pp. 114-15, shows that this copy, now in his own collection, belonged not to Sterne but to the Rev George Groundrill of Sproatley. Likewise StL 17, the copy of Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile, ou de reducation, 4 vols (Amsterdam, 1762) now at Yale, signed by Sterne on the half-title to Vol. IV and with an autograph calculation on the fly-leaf of Vol. I, does not appear in the Todd and Sotheran sale catalogue.

Letters Publication of Sterne's letters began fairly soon after his death, beginning with Letters from Yorick to Eliza (London, 1773) and Sterne's Letters to His Friends on Various Occasions (London, 1775). Modern scholars accept the former as authentic, albeit in a suspect text; the latter selection includes three genuine letters by Sterne, and eight forgeries by his young admirer William Coombe. Lydia Sterne Medalle's edition of her father's letters was an attempt to win some profit from his literary estate before further competitors found their way into print. Her editorial irresponsibility has long been notorious, and has become increasingly evident with the recovery of the MSS of letters which she published. Nevertheless the edition remains one of the main sources for Sterne's letters. Another is Sterne's Letter Book, now at the Pierpont Morgan, which he used for autograph fair copies and re-written texts of a selection of letters which he wished to preserve. The contents of the Letter Book have been printed in Cross, Life, pp. 556-95, with facsimiles of a memorandum on the first leaf, facing p. 556, and of a letter to David Garrick, 27 January 1760, facing p. 586.

Archibald Boiling Shepperson, 'Yorick as Ministering Angel', Virginia Quarterly Review, 30 (1954), 54-66, published five letters from Sterne giving an account of the death from tuberculosis of George Oswald at Toulouse. The letters are addressed to young Oswald's father, Richard, and to the latter's business associate John Mill. Their respective dates are: to John Mill, 24 February 1763; to Mill, 2 March 1763; to Richard Oswald, 4 March 1763; to Mill, 5 March 1763; to Richard Oswald, 18 March 1763. They were found in a letter book owned by Richard Oswald's descendants, and now at the National Library of Scotland, MS 15548, ff. 174-85, and microfilm Mf.27. Lewis Perry Curtis, 'New Light on Sterne', MLN, 76 (1961), 498-501, published a letter from Sterne to the Rev John Dealtary, 20 November 1739, together with five letters to Dealtary from the Rev Thomas Newton, 1759-60, three of which mention Sterne's literary and social success upon the publication of Tristram Shandy; all six letters had been acquired by the Bodleian in 1957. Arthur H. Cash, 'Some New Sterne Letters', TLS, 8 April 1965, p. 284, published three letters from Sterne to Dr Henry Egerton,

Kenneth Monkman and James Diggle, 'Yorick and His Flock: A New Sterne Letter', TLS, 14 March 1968, p. 276, publishes a letter from Sterne to an unidentified parishioner, 14 March 1758, now at Queens'College, Cambridge.

There is a transcript of letters from Sterne to Elizabeth Draper, apparently taken from Letters from Yorick to Eliza (London, 1773), at Yale, Osborn Files/Sterne. Also at Yale, MS Vault Shelves/Sterne, are photostats of 58 autograph letters, family papers, and the British Library's MS of the 'Journal to Eliza', used by Lewis Perry Curtis in the preparation of Letters.

Cash, Sterne: The Later Years, Appendix I, 'Unedited Sterne Letters', publishes some eight new letters, besides providing a convenient summary of the Sterne letters discovered between 1935 and 1985 above. The letters published by Professor Cash are as follows: to the Rev John Blake [September Laurence Sterne Trust;

1758], The

Miscellaneous

to the Rev John Blake [?5 October 1758], Huntington (excerpt only in Letters, No. 29, p. 62);

One of the problems arising from the very success of Tristram Shandy was a glut of imitations and forgeries. To circumvent these Sterne, who acted as his own publisher for the later volumes, took to signing the first editions of certain volumes; thus his signature appears in all copies of the first edition of Vols V, VII, and IX. He also signed copies of Vol. V, second edition (1767), but the signature appears in only one of the three identified states of this volume. A copy of Catullus, Tibullus et Propertius... Accedunt Fragmenta Cornelio Gallo inscripta (Paris, 1753) given to John Wilkes, whom Sterne met in France, inscribed by Wilkes 'Ex dono L. Sterne 1764. Lutetiae Parisiorum', was offered for sale by Blackwell's, Rare Books Catalogue A17 (1981). There is a presentation copy of Sterne's first printed sermon with an inscription to Philip Harland, the squire at Sutton, of The Case of Elijah and the Widow of Zerephath, Considered (York, 1747), at York Minster. A presentation copy of Tristram Shandy to William Combe was auctioned by Parke-Bernet, 3-5 May 1939 (Johaft Spoor Sale), Lot 813, described as a first edition of 1760, now known to be in fact the first London edition. A copy of A Sentimental Journey, first edition, with two names added to the list of subscribers in Sterne's hand appeared in Parke-Bernet Catalogue 1201, 27-9 November 1950 (L. Wilmerding Sale), Lot 684. Letters, p. 85n, called attention to a composite volume containing George Berkeley's Querist (London, 1750) bound with Colley Gibber's A Letter from Mr. Cibber to Mr. Pope (London, 1742), given by Sterne to Marmaduke Fothergill and with an autograph inscription on the flyleaf; the volume was then owned by Mrs Edwin Gray of York, but with the dispersal of her library cannot now be traced.

The copyright agreement for Tristram Shandy, in Sterne's autograph, dated 9 March 1760, signed by Sterne and James Dodsley, and witnessed by Richard Berenger, is now at the Berg. By its terms Sterne was to receive for Vols I-II, London edition, £250 in advance, a further £200 payable within six months, and allowed to retain the profits of the York and Dublin editions; the original price of 400 guineas for Vols III-IV has been emended to 380 guineas. William Hogarth's original drawings for the frontispieces to Tristram Shandy, Vol. I, London edition, and Vol. Ill, are also now at the Berg. Sterne's autograph receipt to the bookseller Thomas Becket for £205.17s.0d. paid for the final volume of Tristram Shandy, 21 January 1767, is now at Harvard, Autograph File.

York Minster, Box Dl, contains several documents relating to Sterne: the letter of Sterne's presentation to the living of Stillington, 20 February 1743/4, in the hand of John Clough, assistant registrar to the Dean and Chapter, signed by the Prebendary and patron of Stillington, Richard Levett; a testimonial to Sterne's good character, also in Clough's hand, witnessed by William Dodsworth, William Berdmore, and Thomas Harrison; the summons, schedules, and induction papers for Sterne's installation into the prebend of of Givendale, together with the summons, schedule, induction and proxy papers for his later installation as Prebendary of North Newbald, 8 January 1742. A letter from Thomas Belasyse, Earl Fauconberg, to the Archbishop of York, 28 March 1760, nominating Sterne to the curacy of Coxwold, is now at the University of York, Borthwick Institute. The letter is actually in Sterne's autograph throughout, only the signature being in Lord Fauconberg's own hand. There is a facsimile in Letters, facing p. 102, and a photocopy at Yale, MS Vault Shelves/Sterne.

A large number of MS documents survive which chart Sterne's career as a clergyman in Yorkshire. Some of these are still at York Minster, others are now at the University of York, Borthwick Institute, or the British Library. The certificate of his ordination as deacon, signed by Richard Reynolds, Bishop of Lincoln, 6 March 1637, is in the British Library, Add. Ch. 16158, and the certificate of his admission to priest's orders by Samuel Peploe, Bishop of Chester, 20 August 1738, in British Library, Add. Ch. 16160. His collation as vicar of the parish of Sutton-on the-Forest, Yorkshire, signed by Archbishop Blackburne, 24 August 1738, is British Library, Add. Ch. 16159. The letter of his installation as Prebendary of North Newbald, 5 January 1742, is British Library, Add. Ch. 16161. A dispensation for Sterne to hold the livings of Sutton and Stillington in plurality, signed by John Potter, Archbishop of Canterbury, and dated 3 March 1743, is British Library, Add. Ch. 16162, the Letters patent confirming the dispensation, 6 March 1743, is British Library, Add. Ch. 16163. His letter of admission as vicar of Stillington, signed by Richard Osbaldeston, Dean, 13 March 1743, is British Library, Add. Ch. 16164, and a second copy of this letter, endorsed by Richard Hauxwel, Vicar of Sherif Hutton, to the effect that he inducted Sterne to the living the following day, is British Library, Add. Ch. 16165. Sterne's collation to his third living, as curate of Coxwold, signed by Archbishop John Gilbert, 29 March 1760, is British Library, Add. Ch. 16166. These documents were exhibited by Sterne as credentials at the periodic spiritual visitations of the Archdeaconry of Cleveland or by the Archbishop of York, and have been signed by the successive registrars of the Archdecanal court, and by Richard Mackley, deputy registrar to Robert Hay Drummond, Archbishop of York. They were donated to the British Library by W. Durrani Cooper.

These and some of Sterne's other ecclesiastical appointments are recorded in the following MSS at the University of York, Borthwick Institute, and York Minster: Institutions (Commissions) 1731-42, University of York, Borthwick Institute; Act Book (Institutions) 1755-1768, University of York, Borthwick Institute; MS minute books of the Dean and Chapter of York, York Minster; Institutions (Commissions) 1731-42, University of York, Borthwick Institute; Act Book (Institutions) 1710-62, University of York, Borthwick Institute; Exhibition Book for Visitations of the Archbishops, University of York, Borthwick Institute. Among the documents at York Minster is Sterne's reply, dated May 1743, to a questionnaire circulated by Thomas Herring, Archbishop of York, in advance of his Primary Visitation; the reply is printed as No. 7 in Letters, p. 21, and preserved in Archbishop Herring's Visitation Returns. Nearly a quarter of the '1749/50 Correspondence between the Archbishop & Dean respecting the Appointment of a Residentiary' is transcribed in Sterne's hand, see Cash, Sterne: Early & Middle Years, p. 230; Sterne had sided with the Dean, John Fountayne, in this trial of strength between his

superiors. Two autograph notes sent by Sterne to the Dean and Chapter of York, signed and dated 7 December 1761, undertake to pay Marmaduke Callis £16 for each of the livings of Sutton and Stillington where he was acting as Sterne's locum, York Minster, BB 25. Sterne's officiating in the local ecclesiastical courts is recorded in the Exhibition Book for the Peculiar Court of Pickering and Pocklington, S3[5].d. Cash, Sterne: Early & Middle Years, p. 245, cites a note in Sterne's autograph for the call sheet of the 1752 Pickering visitation, and from the Stillington Prebendal Peculiar Court in 1755, the penance imposed upon William Johnson and Jane Nelson for fornication, signed by Sterne, among loose papers, York Minster, C3a.

A few interesting association items may be mentioned here. The MS of a psalm, composed and sung by the parish clerk of Stillington during an outbreak of cattle plague in 1749, is now owned by Kenneth Monkman; it is quoted in Cash, Sterne: Early & Middle Years, pp. 125-6. A different version, 'A psalm composed by the Clerk of Stillington & Sung by him at Divine Service on Sunday May 28th 1749', is preserved in the commonplace book of Thomas Beckwith, York Minster, Add. MS 40, f. 3v; it has been published in Lewis Perry Curtis, 'Forged Letters of Laurence Sterne', PMLA, 50 (1935), 1076-1106. The autograph MS of David Garrick's 'An Inscription for a Stone which Becket The Bookseller has put upon Sterne's Grave', is now at the Folger, MS W.b.464, f. 58v; it was published in Medalle. The MS of James Boswell's 'A Poetical Epistle to Doctor Sterne, Parson Yorick, and Tristram Shandy', listed in the Boswell section as BoJ 63, is at the Bodleian, MS Douce. 193, and there is also a photographic copy at Yale. It is quoted in Cash, Sterne: Later Years, pp. 18-19, and 43, also in Frederick A. Pottle, 'Bozzy and Yorick', Blackwood's Magazine, 217 (1925), 295-313. The MS of a poem by the young John Nichols, 'On the report of the death of the Rev. Mr. Sterne, author of Tristram Shandy', dated March 1762, is at Columbia University. Some memories of Sterne recorded by Joseph Hunter from an interview with the former's sometime servant Richard Greenwood can be found in British Library, Add. MS 24446, ff. 26-7; Hunter's MS has been edited and published in James Kuist, 'New Light on Sterne: an Old Man's Recollections of the Young Vicar', PMLA, 80 (1965), 549-53. A page from the MS of William Makepeace Thackeray's lecture 'On Sterne and Goldsmith' from English Humourists of the Eighteenth Century, in the hand of his daughter Anne Thackeray Ritchie, is at the Berg.

Several other documents are preserved at the University of York, Borthwick Institute: a signed document nominating John Stapylton as parish clerk of Stillington, D/C.Nom.PC.1764; an allegation, or application for a marriage license, and bond, both dated 28 March 1741 and signed by Sterne, Dean and Chapter of York Marriage Bonds and Allegations, D/C.MB.1741; the nomination of Lancelot Colley as temporary curate of Sutton-on-the-Forest, written in a scribal hand but signed by Sterne, R.IV.A, 1766. Sterne's answers as perpetual curate of Coxwold to a questionnaire sent by Archbishop Drummond to the York clergy in 1764, printed as No. 25 in Letters, pp. 217-18, can be found in Archbishop Drummond's Visitation Returns. Also at the University of York, Borthwick Institute, are transcripts, signed by Sterne, of the burial, baptismal, and marriage registers of Sutton-on-the-Forest as sent to the Archbishop of York; and a MS terrier, or inventory, signed by Sterne and two churchwardens. Sterne's nomination for a licence for his assistant curate at Coxwold since 1761, James Kilner, is University of York, Borthwick Institute, R.IV.A. 1764, p. 11 (recorded in Act Book (Institutions) 1755-1768, f. 285, R.I.AB.14). There is a digest of a questionnaire returned by Sterne in 'Parishes wth ye greater Number of Papists' and 'Resident Persons of Estate, Papists or Reputed Papists', University of York, Borthwick Institute, R.Bp.H2.9, [7087]; see Cash, Sterne: Later Years, Appendix I. The parish registers of Sutton-on-the-Forest and of Stillington, which have entries in Sterne's hand after his induction as vicar in 1738, are still in the keeping of the churchwardens of these parishes. A selection of Sterne's entries are quoted in Cash, Sterne: Early & Middle Years, pp. 111, 121, 148, and 257n.

Kenneth Monkman, 'An Annotated Copy of Sterne's Sentimental Journey', ABA Annual (1952), pp. 36-9, describes a copy in his own possession of A Sentimental Journey, '4th' edition (London, 1769), which has annotations in the hand of John Scott, later Earl of Clonmell. The article is illustrated by a facsimile and quotes liberally from Scott's annotations, which consist of acute critical comments and general observations prompted by the text.

A signed agreement engaging John Walker as Sterne's curate for the parishes of Sutton and Stillington, 30 May 1767, is now in the John Rylands Library, Eng. MS

Besides those mentioned above or in the entries themselves, the following facsimiles of Sterne's hand should be noted: a letter to Ignatius Sancho, 27 July 1766, in

Jonathan Swift 1667-1745

distributed some of the material among his friends, and the remainder seems to have been inherited by Thomas Steele, who had married Lyon's niece. Steele died in 1819, and at an unknown date between 1820 and 1856 some of these MSS came into the possession of William Monck Mason; possibly he acquired them from Steele's impecunious son, also named Thomas. On Monck Mason's death, they were bought by John Forster who was gathering materials for his projected biography of Swift, and are now in the Forster Collection at the Victoria and Albeit Museum.

The MSS of Jonathan Swift, both prose and verse, are distributed in some half dozen major collections, best described in terms of their provenance. Two of these collections have been made the subject of special studies. The Swift holdings at the Huntington are treated at length in George P. Mayhew, Rage or Raillery (San Marino, 1967), which collects several previously published articles and adds fresh material, with a descriptive check-list as an Appendix, pp. 157-83. A comparable task is performed by Sir Shane Leslie, 'The Swift Manuscripts in the Morgan Library', in Studies in Art and Literature for Belle da Costa Greene, edited by Dorothy Miner (Princeton, 1954), pp. 445-8. The description of the same material in Leslie's The Script of Jonathan Swift and Other Essays (Philadelphia, 1935) is more discursive, but the earlier essay is important in that it finally laid to rest the mischievous notion of Swift's use of a 'disguised hand', so beloved of nineteenthcentury scholars.

Other MSS were in the possession of Martha Whiteway, Swift's second cousin. In 1761 Mrs Whiteway left Ireland to live in England, accompanied by her daughter and her son-in-law Deane Swift, himself Swift's cousin. Deane Swift edited and published some of this material in the later volumes of the London trade editions of the Works, and he inherited the MSS when Mrs Whiteway died. They then passed to Deane Swift's son Theophilus, on whose death some of them were saved by James Smith. Their subsequent owners were the American collectors Frederick Locker, who had them bound into two volumes, and William Bixby of St Louis, who sold them to Henry E. Huntington. Thus they came to form the nucleus of the large collection of Swift MSS now at the Huntington.

Provenance The provenance of the major MS collections is well understood. On Swift's death some of his papers had passed into the custody of Dr John Lyon, executor of his will and previously his guardian during the incapacity of his last few years. Lyon's list of 'Mss: found in the Dean's Study' can be found on f. 14v of his MS 'Catalogue of Books belonging to Dr Swift taken about Octbr 1742- & compared June 2d 1744', now at Abbotsford. Lyon was also the heir and executor of Rebecca Dingley, companion to Esther Johnson ('Stella'). Thus apart from such letters which had been given to him by Swift, he came to possess a portion of the correspondence between Swift and Esther Johnson now known as the 'Journal to Stella'. Lyon may have

The provenance of the Swift items in John Rylands Library, English MS 659, may also derive ultimately from Mrs Whiteway and Deane Swift. This packet among the Thrale MSS has been at its present location since 1931. Mrs Thrale has inscribed the cover, 'Original letters from Dean Swift & Lord Orrery'; a later pencil note, possibly in the hand of her descendant the Rev Augustus Salusbury, and dated 21 September 1800, reads 'Nothing of the Kind now there is letter from Lady

JONATHAN SWIFT Orrery none from Lord the rest are unsigned there is no proof that they are in the Dean's hand writing— besides they are not letters only scraps'. Actually the MS does include notes and several prose and verse drafts in Swift's autograph, SwJ 299, 424-5, 438, 447-52, 469, as well as a transcript of Lord Orrery's complimentary poem to Swift, and some letters addressed to Mrs Whiteway by Lady Orrery and Dr William King. Mrs Thrale very likely acquired the MS from Samuel Johnson, whose endorsements appear on two of the items, and he may have obtained them from either his friend John Hawkesworth or from Deane Swift.

include some transcripts which he made for Temple and other members of the family, but also MSS relating to Swift's editing of Temple's letters and uncollected essays (see below). These were preserved by the Longe family at Yelverton Rectory, Norfolk, until they were sold at Sotheby's, 3 August 1934. Some of the MSS were subsequently bought by Lord Rothschild and are now at Trinity College, Cambridge; others acquired by Sir Harold Williams are now at Cambridge University Library. Still others are at present unlocated. Apart from the MSS as such, two important printed collections of Swift's writings with his autograph corrections were sold at the auction of his library in 1745. Lots 482-5 consisted of his marked-up copies of the four volumes of Miscellanies (1727-32) published by Swift in collaboration with Alexander Pope, which after being owned successively by Viscount Powerscourt and then by W.G. Panter, The Bawn, Foxrock, Co. Dublin, are now in the Rothschild Collection at Trinity College, Cambridge. Corrections have been made to both verse and prose writings; see SwJ 15, 46, 59, 83, 178, 200, 246-7, 286, 288, 314, 317, 319, 331, 391, 404, 432, 462, 464, 471, 478, 481, and 147, 170, 174, 191, 196, 243, 296, 422-3, 446, 480. Swift's own mixed set of Faulkner in six volumes formed Lots 486-91 in the 1745 Sale when it was bought by Bishop Edward Synge; it was later bought by Edmund Swifte, then by the Irish bibliophile Evelyn Philip Shirley, and is now privately owned. The set has annotations and pencil markings throughout, but Sir Harold Williams opined that only those in Vol. II, 'Poetical Works', 2nd edition (1737), are in Swift's hand; see SwJ 47, 60, 129, 144, 171 175, 184, 216, 2334, and 257.

Other MSS owe their survival to the agency of several of Swift's friends. The Fountaine MSS now at the Pierpont Morgan include several autograph fair copies of poems, which were given to Sir Andrew Fountaine, and for many years kept by his descendants at Narford, Norfolk. Other MSS in the possession of Swift's Irish friend Charles Ford, including his transcripts of some of Swift's poems, passed on Ford's death to his executor Sir John Hynde Cotton; they were preserved at Madingley Hall, Cambridge, before passing to Mrs Rowley Smith of Shortgrove, from whom they were acquired by Lord Rothschild, and are now at Trinity College, Cambridge. The Orrery Collection now at Harvard derives from yet another friend, John Boyle, fifth Earl of Orrery. Besides the material more immediately relating to Swift, it includes Orrery's annotated copy of his own memoir of the Dean, Remarks on the Life and Writings of Dr. Jonathan Swift (London, 1752). Swift's political association and intimacy with Robert Harley, first Earl of Oxford, and his subsequent friendship with Edward the second Earl, led naturally to that family's possessing and preserving a number of his MSS. The most important are some autograph political documents and other prose as sent to Robert Harley, SwJ 418, 441, but several transcripts of Swift's poems possess their textual authority because of their Harleian provenance. On the marriage of the second Lord Oxford's daughter some of these MSS passed to the library of the Dukes of Portland, Welbeck Abbey, and when her daughter married Viscount Weymouth others went to Longleat House, where they still remain among the various volumes of the Portland Papers in the library of the Marquess of Bath. The former group can now be found either among the Portland MSS at the University of Nottingham, or among the Harley Papers at the British Library, originally deposited there as part of the Portland Loan.

Verse The reference edition for this section is the standard, old-spelling The Poems of Jonathan Swift, edited by Harold Williams, second edition, 3 vols (Oxford, 1958). Because of its widespread use and the high quality of its annotation, which updates Williams's scholarship in several respects, references are also made to the modernspelling The Complete Poems, edited by Pat Rogers (Harmondsworth and New Haven, 1983). Different editorial policy, particularly in the choice of copy texts, naturally has led to different line-numbering and titles in some cases. Where this happens, Williams has been followed but divergences in Rogers have been noted. The surviving autograph MSS of Swift's poems are not particularly numerous, and it is worth remarking that in most cases, apart from the 'trifles' and jeux a"esprit written in invented comic languages briefly described

Certain extant MSS date from Swift's early years in the household of Sir William Temple at Moor Park; they

JONATHAN SWIFT argues plausibly that this more familiar printed version represents a recension later than the Huntington draft. There are a number of contemporary transcripts of the poem, SwJ 381-4, but they all give the text in its betterknown form, and some probably derive from printed sources. The Huntington MS has been chosen as copy text by Rogers; Williams and other editors have used one of the printed versions.

below, the MS is a fair copy, not a working draft. Nevertheless, the autograph MSS of three poems, 'Baucis and Philemon', 'Vanbrug's House', and 'An Answer to a late Scandalous Poem', radically differ from the published versions; so much so that modern editors from Williams onwards, rather than construct a critical apparatus, have printed both MS and printed texts in full. It is in the case of 'Baucis and Philemon' that the relation of the autograph MS, SwJ 45, now at the Pierpont Morgan, to the published text is most complex. The MS is a fair copy of 180 lines corresponding broadly to lines 1-128 of the printed version; it is generally accepted that it belongs to a stage in composition prior to extensive revisions advised by Addison. More precisely the textual differences of the MS from the printed text may be expressed as follows: lines 1-10 followed by 12 additional lines; 11-12 followed by 22 additional lines; 13-28 followed by 10 additional lines; 29-30 followed by an additional couplet; 31-64 followed by a 6-line version of lines 85-8; an additional couplet; lines 89-100, 65-84, and 101-12; 6 lines corresponding to 113-16, and 16 lines corresponding to 116-28.

Next in importance to the autograph items are those transcripts which originated within Swift's circle of friends. Of especial value is the commonplace book compiled by his closest woman friend, Esther Johnson, 'Stella', which contains her transcripts of some 18 poems by Swift; an additional poem is in the hand of Lady Anne Acheson, who with her husband Sir Arthur, was also among the more intimate members of Swift's circle in the latter half of his career. The poems occupy the middle 40 pages of a quarto volume of 85 leaves, unfoliated, measuring 19.8 x 15.5 cm, bound in eighteenth-century calf with gilt spine. The history of the volume after Stella's death is given by a note in the hand of the fourth Duke of Bedford: This Manuscript was given me, by Sr Archibald Acheson at Bath 9.ber. 2d. 1768. It was given to his Father, by the Dean of St. Patrick, and is of the hand writing of Mrs Johnson'. The volume has remained in the possession of the Dukes of Bedford, but is at present missing. It was last seen when loaned to the Bibliotheque Nationale for an exhibition on 'Le Livre anglais' in 1951. Negative photostats, however, are available among Sir Harold Williams's working papers, Cambridge University Library, Add. MS 7788, Box 5.

Several autograph MSS, at both the Huntington and the Victoria and Albert Museum, Forster Collection, are written in the Anglo-Latin punning languages used by Swift and Thomas Sheridan for their exchanges. There are a handful of short poems written in 'LatinoAnglicus', where what appears to be Latin is read off to give an English sense, which have been given entries, SwJ 36, 114-15, 164, and 193. But in one of these Anglo-Latin MSS, Huntington, HM 14338, p. 2, is the autograph draft of the poem 'On his own Deafness', SwJ 380, first identified by George P. Mayhew; see his note in HLQ, 18 (1954), 85-7, and the expanded discussion in Rage or Raillery, Chapter 6, 'Swift's Manuscript Version of "On His Own Deafness'", pp. 115-30. The draft is written on the cover of a letter to Swift, with a superscription possibly in the hand of Thomas Sheridan. Swift had already used the cover for some jottings in 'AngloAngli', and Mayhew suggests that these notes were intended for a reply to Sheridan. The draft is untitled, its English text has major substantive differences from the previously known versions, and the first line of the Latin gives the superior reading 'Verticosus'. The Latin text here omits its third line, but this is written below, preceding line 7 of the English version to which it corresponds; as Mayhew observes, the third line of the Latin was evidently composed last. Whereas Sir Harold Williams believed that the first printing of the poem was in the Gentleman's Magazine for November 1734, Mayhew showed that it was actually published in two Dublin newspapers during October of that year; he

Contents: SwJ 18, 38, 58, 113, 116, 118, 130, 142, 211, 217, 235, 248, 271, 274, 284, 313, 319. No publication of the whole traced; individual items collated or printed as copy-texts in Williams, Rogers, and other editions, see individual entries for details. Owned by the Marquess of Tavistock; missing (1995).

Four of the verse MSS at Trinity College, Cambridge, and two at the Pierpont Morgan, are in the hand of another Irish friend, Charles Ford, SwJ 101, 280-2, and 330. Particular difficulty has arisen from SwJ 280-2.

JONATHAN SWIFT Williams's examination of the MSS led him to believe that the printed text of the poem 'Stella at Woodpark' as known since Faulkner (1735) was an unsatisfactory amalgam of two separate poems. In particular he noted that SwJ 280 at Trinity College, Cambridge, commenced with lines 25-40 of 'Stella at Woodpark', but here headed 'Stella's Distress on the 3d fatal day of October 1723'; there followed a double rule and a Latin quotation, and then lines 1-24 and 41-92. SwJ 281-2 at the Pierpont Morgan, which both consist of lines 1-24 and 41-92 alone, confirmed him in his supposition. He therefore printed the MS texts separately, as 'Stella's Distress on the 3d fatal day of October 1723' and 'Don Carlos in a merry Spight', preceding the familiar Faulkner text. Herbert Davis followed suit in the Oxford Standard Authors edition of Swift's Poetical Works (Oxford, 1967). Rogers, however, disputes the necessity of this, remarking that no previous scholar had been troubled by the integrity of 'Stella at Woodpark', and considers the dovetailing of the two MSS fragments sufficiently neat. Rogers's argument is sensible and convincing; and since there there is no doubt of the relationship of the MSS to 'Stella at Woodpark', they have been listed under that title here and treated as parts of a single poem.

Nichols found the text of the 'Ode to King William...' in the Gentleman's Journal, July 1692, p. 13, and although this ode is written in quatrains, not a pindaric, he printed it as Swift's in his Select Collection of Poems (London, 1780). The genuine 'Ode to the King' was first recognised in Fairbrother (1735), IV, 1, by Harold Williams. The 'Ode to King William...' is printed in Williams, I, 11, because of its long association with Swift, but with a disavowal of any remaining belief in its authenticity. No subsequent editor of Swift's poetry has included the quatrain ode, and the transcript in The Whimsical Medley' has not been given an entry here. The MSS of certain other poems raise specific textual problems, whether arising from Swift's self-censorship or from distinct textual traditions. Just such an instance is 'Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift'. First of all there was printed in 1733 an unauthorised The Life and Genuine Character of Dr Swift, which modern editors have agreed to treat as an entirely distinct, albeit related, poem; there is a photostat of a contemporary transcript of this among the Williams papers at Cambridge University Library, SwJ 189. In 1739 Verses on the Death of Dr Swift was published in London by Charles Bathhurst, its text edited by William King and Alexander Pope, apparently from a MS supplied by Swift. The latter was dissatisfied with this London edition and brought out his own authorised text, published by Faulkner in Dublin later that same year, and it is this which modern editors agree to use as copy text. Bathurst's London edition has much in common with the authorised Dublin edition, but mixes in lengthy passages taken from the earlier Life and Genuine Character. Its relation to the Dublin edition may be expressed thus, lines 1-14, 17182, 189-280, 299-302, 307-8, 24 additional lines, 45962, 6 additional lines, 439-46, 319-24, 339-48, 26 additional lines, 309-14, 3 additional lines, 483-6, and a concluding additional couplet. These five additional passages correspond respectively to The Life and Genuine Character, lines 82-3 and 95-114; 117-18 and 121-4; 130-3, 136-43 and 180-93; 198-200; and 201-2. In both the London and Dublin editions there are lacunae which the printers represented with asterisks. These missing passages have been supplied by Williams, the first editor to reconstruct the text, from some copies of the first Dublin edition with additional lines entered in MS, SwJ 338-40; also copies of the second and fifth Dublin editions similarly annotated, SwJ 345-6. There is also extant a copy of the first London edition, previously owned by Williams, which adds in MS lines 183-8 of the authorised text to fill a lacuna which the printer had represented with asterisks, SwJ 344. The Huntington holds a copy of the second London edition of 1739, but with

Another MS, which although not autograph is given considerable textual value by editors, is The Whimsical Medley or A Miscellaneous Collection of several pieces in Prose & Verse'. This large folio miscellany in three volumes was compiled for Theophilus, first Viscount Newtownbutler, and is now at Trinity College, Dublin. It contains, among others, nineteen poems by Swift, SwJ 1, 91-2, 94, 96-7, 100, 110, 135, 156, 179, 181-2, 236, 294, 307-8, 317, and 373, and also companion poems by Thomas Sheridan and Patrick Delany. Some of the poems by Swift and his friends were published from this MS by John Barrett, Vice-Provost of Trinity College, Dublin, in his Essay on the Early Life of Swift (London, 1808). Barrett was a great scholar in many respects, but unfortunately he was not always an exact one; Williams has shown that besides the authentic poems which Barrett printed as Swift's from The Whimsical Medley', he also attributed too many others on no better grounds than his own supposition or fancy. One poem deserves special remark although it is no longer accepted as Swift's, the 'Ode to King William, on His Successes in Ireland' (To purchase Kingdoms, and to buy Renown'), transcribed in The Whimsical Medley', Vol. II, pp. 3913. Deane Swift's acquaintance knew that he possessed a text of an early pindaric ode by Swift addressed to William III, but which he neglected to collect in Works, and the poem was for a time presumed lost. John

JONATHAN SWIFT differences between the St James's Chronicle and Monthly Review texts, this claim is probably bogus. On the other hand Chesterfield's statement that he owned an autograph MS of the poem is entirely plausible; at one time Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he had known Swift personally, and he was among the purchasers at the auction of Swift's library.

MS additions apparently supplied from a Dublin edition, SwJ 347. A less complicated instance is the text of 'On Poetry: A Rapsody', first printed at the end of 1733, and reprinted in Faulkner (1735), II. Four additional passages were published as addenda in Scott (1824). Two of these, together with two further additional couplets, are found added in MS in John Boyle, Earl of Orrery's copy of the 1733 edition which is now in the Williams Collection at Cambridge University Library, SwJ 203; there is also a transcript of these two passages among the Orrery Papers at Harvard, SwJ 204. Finally there is a transcript of all six passages, the four as printed by Scott and the two supplied by Orrery, bound into a copy of Faulkner (1735) at the Huntington, SwJ 205. Modern editors have varied in their handling of these additions: Williams relegated them to an appendix to the text on the grounds that it was uncertain whether their excision came within Swift's final artistic intentions; Davis follows suit in the Oxford Standard Authors Poetical Works; Rogers incorporates all six passages into the text.

The extant MSS are two transcripts in the hands of William Collins and William Shenstone, SwJ 84 and SwJ 85. The former passed to Joseph Warton who took it to Winchester College, and it has been published in William Collins: Drafts & Fragments edited by J.S. Cunningham (Oxford, 1956). David Nichol Smith remarks 'There is no evidence as to how Collins came to know the poem, or how he came to make his hurried transcript', and, 'Joseph Warton's statement that Collins "copied from Swift" may possibly mean that Collins saw the original manuscript, but this cannot be proved and seems improbable'. Shenstone's transcript was entered in his 'Miscellany'; a note by Thomas Percy explains that Shenstone had the text from the bookseller Robert Dodsley, 'as the Composition of Dean Swift', and a second footnote mentions the publication, 'very defectively', in The Friends.

The Day of Judgement' is another poem where the relation between the MS and printed texts is extremely complex. Besides Williams and Rogers, the important discussions by Sidney L. Gulick, 'Jonathan Swift's "The Day of Judgement'", PMLA, 48 (1933), 850-5, and by Maurice Johnson, 'Text and Possible Occasion for Swift's "Day of Judgement"', PMLA, 86 (1971), 210-17, should also be consulted. The poem was first published in The Friends, 2 vols (London, 1773), II, 75-7, where it is introduced in a letter purportedly from 'F.A.' of 'Dublin College' and its source given as 'Mr Rochfort'; this must refer to one of the brothers John and George Rochfort, friends of Swift, more likely the former. The letter claims that Swift's poem was written down from an oral version 'only preserved in Memory, by a few Friends of his'. Williams dismisses this version as a corrupt memorial text. On 7 April 1774, Mrs Eugenia Stanhope had published Lord Chesterfield's Letters to His Son, including the text of a letter to Voltaire of 27 August 1752; Chesterfield had apparently enclosed a transcript of Swift's poem, and wrote Ten ai 1'original ecrit de sa propre main'. The absence of the poem itself from Letters to His Son was remarked almost at once and others proceeded to make good the deficiency: a text was supplied to the St James's Chronicle, 12 April 1774, by one 'Mercutio'; and a notice of Letters to His Son in the Monthly Review, July 1774, not only remarked the omission of the poem, but offered a text which it claimed was more correct than that in the St James's Chronicle. Since there are only three minor substantive

It is possible to argue that the St James's Chronicle text and the transcripts made by Collins and Shenstone all derive ultimately from Chesterfield's MS; on this view, the three texts are in broad substantive agreement except that Collins's transcript omits lines 19-20. An alternative conclusion which gives more weight to the variants between these three versions is that of Sidney L. Gulick, 'No "Spectral Hand" in Swift's "Day of Judgement'", PBSA, 71 (1977), 333-6. In reply to Leland B. Peterson, The Spectral Hand in Swift's "Day of Judgement'", PBSA, 70 (1976), 182-219, Gulick concludes that only a few minimal changes to the text came from transcribers' hands, but that Swift revised the poem and left two or three versions. Some of the MSS collated or mentioned by Williams can no longer be located, and it seems that he did not confirm their whereabouts for his second edition. The two transcripts of 'Apollo, to Dean Swift' owned by Lord Mount Temple remain untraced since the Broadlands collection was dispersed by sales in the 1950s, SwJ 20-1. Another transcript of this poem, SwJ 25, was stolen along with other eightenth-century MSS after the Gilbert Collection had passed to Dublin Public Libraries. The commonplace book owned by the late Mrs Cartwright of Aynho Park, containing SwJ 32, 61, 105, 270, and 325, is no longer in the possession of her family. And two MSS owned by Williams himself, SwJ

Canon Not the least of the merits of Williams's edition is its patient and comprehensive review of over a hundred doubtful poems which have been attributed to Swift at one time or another. In many cases Williams has no difficulty in showing the attribution to be virtually supposititious. It should be noted, however, that Williams's decision to print the full text of a poem in his 'Dubious' section does not necessarily indicate that he regarded its attribution to Swift as a serious possibility; in some cases the text is given simply because it is not readily available elsewhere.

A number of transcripts which were evidently made from printed sources have not been given entries, but may be noted here. There are two transcripts of 'Verses on the Death of Dr Swift', one of them adding a note to the title The Third Edition', in Yale, Osborn, Poetry Box X/4 & 5. Clark Library, Los Angeles, MS fC6346M3, contains transcripts of four poems by Swift: 'Prometheus', ff. 20-1; the revised version of 'Baucis and Philemon', here headed 'Imitated from the Eighth Book of Ovid', ff. 91-3; 'To Mrs Biddy Floyd', f. 93v; and The History of Vanbrug's House, ff. 93v-4. The MS has been examined by George P. Mayhew, who concluded that the first of these was probably transcribed from its first English publication in The Weekly Journal, or Saturday's Post, 16 January 1725, and the others from one of Edmund Curll's pirated productions, A Meditation upon a Broom-Stick, and Somewhat Beside (London, 1710). Transcripts of two poems by Swift can be found in a commonplace book at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild no. 1439, 'Baucis and Philemon' and 'A Description of a City Shower'; the source of transcription is given as 'Mesellinous Works', meaning Miscellanies. The Last Volume (1727). An early eighteenth-century commonplace book, Folger, MS V.a.308, ff. 78v-80v, contains a transcript of 'Part of the Seventh Epistle of the First Book of Horace Imitated', with a note to the title 'An. 1713. Ed. 2nd.'. This MS also contains a transcript of extracts from 'Cadenus and Vanessa', lines 316-33, 364-403, and 408-31 only, here headed 'Dr. Sw—t's his Cadenus, & Vanessa', ff. 85v-6. British Library, Add. MS 26877, contains thirteen poems by Swift, including the doubtful 'Aye and No: A Fable' and The Elephant', marked as transcripts from Miscellanies. The Last Volume (1727). This MS also contains transcripts of two further poems attributed to Swift, the source being given as 'Whartons poems, vol. 1', which refers to either an Edmund Curll production, Whartoniana: or, Miscellanies in Verse and Prose, 2 vols (London, 1727), or to its reprinting as Poetical Works of Philip Late Duke ofWharton, 2 vols (London, [1731?]). The two poems are 'Upon Rover a Ladys Spaniel Dog instructions to a painter', printed as a doubtful attribution in Williams, III, 1124, and 'A Song on the Arch Bp. of Dublin by honest Jo one of his graces farmers', which is accepted as authentic by Williams and Rogers. There are transcripts of extracts and shorter poems by Swift in Thomas Austen's commonplace books, Harvard MSS Eng.616, I, and Eng.611, II, but since these MSS were compiled in the early 1770s, they need scarcely be considered to have any textual value.

Subsequent scholars have adjusted rather than seriously challenged the parameters of the canon as defined by Williams. 'A description of Mother Ludwell's cave', was first published as possibly an early poem from Swift's Moor Park years in Julia G. Longe's biography of Sir William Temple's sister, Martha, Lady Giffard (London, 1911), p. 188, from a MS which remains untraced, SwJ 99. Williams, III, 1068-9, discusses the poem but does not print it. The attribution to Swift was defended by John Middleton Murry in his Jonathan Swift: A Critical Biography (London, 1954), pp. 45-8, and the poem included in the Muses Library Collected Poems of Jonathan Swift, edited by Joseph Horrell, 2 vols (London, 1958), I, 34. It is also accepted by Rogers, who acknowledges that his hesitation is as much due to the question of the poem's merit as of its authenticity. Particular uncertainty surrounds a small group of poems which appeared in the Pope-Swift Miscellanies, and which have been variously attributed to Pope, Swift, and Gay; in at least two cases it has been suggested that the poem may be a collaborative effort involving more than one of the Scriblerians. It has also been remarked, notably by Rogers, that the note to the contents list of the 1742 edition of the Miscellanies, which reads, 'Whatever are not marked with a star, are Dr. Swift's', is not entirely unambiguous; that it admits a possibility that some starred items are by Swift. Rogers has reopened the case for Swift's authorship of some of these poems, including 'Ay and No: A Fable', not considered by Williams, and accepted as Gay's in the new standard edition of the latter's Poetry and Prose, edited by Vinton A. Dealing and Charles E. Beckwith, 2 vols (Oxford, 1974), and The Elephant', decisively rejected by Williams. After being ejected from the Gay canon by G.C. Faber in his Poetical Works of John Gay (Oxford, 1926), 'Bounce to Fop' was claimed for Pope by Norman Ault in New Light on Pope (London, 1950), pp. 337-50, and in the Twickenham Poems of Alexander Pope, VI, Minor Poems, 366-71. Williams accepted

JONATHAN SWIFT considered by Williams, 'A Wicked Treasonable Libel' and 'Upon the Omission of Dei Gratia on Wood's HalfPence'. An allegedly autograph MS of the first poem was sold by Anderson Galleries, 22 March 1915 (Adrian J. Joline Sale), Lot 516, which remains untraced but has been given an entry here, SwJ 376, in the lack of evidence to the contrary. The second poem has been accepted and discussed as Swift's in James Woolley, Swift's Later Poems: Studies in Circumstances and Texts (New York, 1988). The two transcripts given entries here, SwJ 327-8, both attribute the poem to Swift.

Ault's opinion and omitted the poem. For the counterarguments the reader should consult the headnote in Rogers, pp. 895-7, as well as his essay, 'The Authorship of "Bounce to Fop": A Re-Examination', Bulletin of Research in the Humanities, 85 (1982), 241-68. Briefly, Rogers argues that the attribution 'By Dr S—t' in the first publication of the poem, T. Cooper's folio edition of 1736, and the note added by Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford, in his copy of this printing, 'much altered by Mr Pope', point to a poem originally written by Swift and revised by Pope, but that internal, stylistic evidence points to Swift's having a much greater share in the extant text than Ault was prepared to allow. The three extant transcripts, SwJ 54-6, give two different states of the text apparently preceding the first published version. Rogers also accepts as authentic 'On the burning of Whitehall in 1697', a poem added to the canon by Sir Walter Scott, but rejected by Williams. The MS source for this poem is a transcript in the hand of Henry Weber, Scott's amanuensis, SwJ 215. It is found in Harvard, HEW.9.11.3, f. 27, which also contains Weber's transcript of a poem headed 'Swift's first poetical Essay in the year 1690 when at Oxford in the 23rd year of his age from an original MS in the possession of the Rev. Mr. John Worrall', entitled 'Horace, B.2. Ode 18', and beginning "Tis true, my cottage mean & low'. Williams, however, showed that this poem was published as James Arbuckle's in A Collection of Letters and Essays on Several Subjects Lately Publish 'd in the Dublin Journal, 2 vols (Dublin 1729), II, 37-9.

Recent scholarship has called into question Swift's authorship of 'An Apology to the Lady C—r-t', arguing that the poem was probably written by Patrick Delany. The question is discussed thoroughly by James Woolley, The Canon of Swift's Poems: The Case of "An Apology to Lady Carteret'", in Reading Swift: Papers from the Second Munster Symposium on Jonathan Swift, ed. Richard. H. Rodino and Hermann J. Real (Munich, 1993), pp. 245-64. It must be said that four contemporary MSS attribute the poem to Delany, SwJ 27, 29-30, and 35. 'Upon the Duke of Marlborough's House at Woodstock' has been attributed to Pope, Abel Evans, and William King as well as to Swift. To the transcripts listed in the Pope section, PoA 343-7, may be added another at Yale, Osborn, Poetry Box X/58, here simply entitled 'On Marlborough's House'. There remains a poem which is attributed to Swift in MS but has not been published in any edition. There are two transcripts of a poem beginning 'Your Naturalists hold a formation of parts' in the Marquess of Bath's library at Longleat House, Portland Papers, Vol. 17, f. 123v, and Vol. 20, f. 117. The former is written on the recto of the same leaf as a transcript in the same scribal hand of 'On Wisdom's Defeat In a Learned Debate', SwJ 230, a poem assigned to Swift by modern editors although not without reservation; the latter is headed 'By the Revd. Dr. Sw—t. Dean of Ste. P—k '. There are a few minor variants. Given the Harleian provenance of the Portland Papers, this attribution deserves consideration. There is a third transcript in British Library, MS Egerton 2560, f. 104; here the text omits the eighth line as given in the two Longleat transcripts, and is subscribed 'On ye Great Master [?]' which picks up a phrase from the last line. The leaf is endorsed The Ayes & Noes 1724'. The poem appears to be a squib aimed at John, Duke of Montagu, political ally of Walpole and Grand Master of the Order of the Bath, which had been reinstituted in 1724 as a means of extending the patronage system through which Walpole rewarded the politically compliant.

On the other hand, Rogers rejects the poem variously entitled 'Blue-Skin's Ballad' or 'Newgates Garland', which under the former title had been printed and discussed in Williams, III, 1111. Although he remained sufficiently hesitant to assign the poem to his 'Dubious' category, Williams attached some weight to its publication as a Dublin broadside dated '1724/5', and he remarked that certain, admittedly circumstantial, details of the first publication seemed to him to point to a Dublin origin for the ballad. Herbert Davis also included 'Blue-Skin's Ballad' as a doubtful attribution in the Oxford Standard Authors edition of Swift's Poetical Works (Oxford, 1967). Dearing and Beckwith firmly assign this ballad to Gay, asserting that there is no need to involve Swift, but a few of their reviewers, notably H. Bunker Wright in MP, 76 (1978-9), 89-94, felt that this is to dismiss too lightly the possibility of Swift's having contributed the third and last stanzas. Given that the issue remains open to discussion, the poem has been listed here under the title of 'Blue-Skin's Ballad', SwJ 51-3. Rogers has also rejected two other poems seriously

21

JONATHAN SWIFT The NYPL, Spencer Collection, includes a set of Faulkner (1735), with a poem on the front flyleaves entitled To Miss Betty Gibson with the Dean's works, in four volumes a fable.—1734/5', which begins 'A lovely Nymph receives a Gift'; there is a photocopy at the British Library, RP 2711. The poem has been attributed to Swift himself, and described as in his autograph. The hand is not Swift's, and to judge by the conclusion of the poem itself the author was Betty Gibson's own father. Also at NYPL is a MS of verses entitled 'A Poem humbly addressed to Serjeant Bettesworth', and beginning 'As Brothers of a German Heir', formerly thought to be by Swift and in his hand, but which has now been removed to the Forgeries section. The poem is not by Swift, but includes a flattering injunction to him, and the hand may possibly be that of George Faulkner, his publisher. There is another transcript of this poem at the University of Nottingham, Portland MS Pw V 761.

script of A Meditation upon a Broom-stick, SwJ 439, endorsed in the hand of Edward Harley, second Earl of Oxford, now among the Portland MSS at the University of Nottingham. An item not included in Prose Writings, but available as Appendix III in the Journal to Stella, edited by Harold Williams, 2 vols, (Oxford, 1948), II, 677, is Swift's 'Memorial to Robert Harley Concerning the First-Fruits'. This relates to his role as emissary of the Church of Ireland in 1710 to request the extension of Queen Anne's Bounty, the remission of payment to the Crown of the first year's tithes of a benefice, to the Irish Church. Coldly treated by Godolphin and other Whig Lords, Swift found a sympathetic hearer in Robert Harley. Swift's autograph draft, SwJ 441, is bound with a collection of his letters in British Library, Add. MS 4804, and the 'Memorial' was published from this MS by John Hawkesworth in Works, X (Letters, I), 33. The autograph fair copy as sent to Harley, SwJ 442, and with the latter's endorsement, is now among the Harley Papers in the British Library, Add. MS 70026. A further MS, possibly autograph but incomplete, is now at the Berg, SwJ 443.

A few misattributions may be noted here. Four poems by Pope, published in Miscellanies. The Third Volume (1732), are attributed to Swift in Yale, Osborn.fc.60, p. 50: 'Epigram' ('Peter complains that God hath given'); 'Another from the French' ('Sir I admit your General Rule'); 'Another' ('Well then poor G— lies under Ground'); 'Another' ('You beat your Pate and Fancy Wit will come'). And in Yale, Spence Papers, Box VII, are transcripts of The Quidnuncki's' and 'A New Song of New Similes', both now usually assigned to Gay, but here attributed to Swift with the alternative titles 'On ye Death of ye Duke of Orleans' and 'A new Song of Old Similes. To the Tune of Chevy Chase'.

Another autograph MS for which no publication has been traced, can be found among the Harley Papers in the former Portland Loan, SwJ 453. It is now British Library, Add. MS 70267, Miscellanea No. 48. Endorsed 'Observations on the Pr Councill in Ireland' and headed 'W—g Pr Councellors', it is a list of Whig members of the Irish Privy Council, including Archbishop William King and Joseph Addison; opposite each name Swift has written a comment, either noting degree of commitment to the Whig cause or frequent absenteeism. It would appear that Swift, with his expert knowledge of Irish affairs, drew up this list for Harley's benefit, indicating which of the Irish Privy Councillors could be expected to prove inveterate and effective political opponents. The MS is dated 'Decb. 19. 1713', when the Tory ministry was passing into a deepening political crisis. For two items with Swift's autograph endorsements also in British Library, Add. MS 70267, see the Library and Marginalia section below.

Prose The reference edition for this section is The Prose Writings of Jonathan Swift, ed. Herbert Davis, 14 vols (Oxford, 1939-66). Although its treatment of MSS is thorough, there are a few omissions. Perhaps the most interesting of these is the autograph fair copy of the 'Character of Mrs. Howard', SwJ 392, a rather critical portrait sent to the lady herself and preserved among her papers in British Library, Add. MS 22625. Unlike the text printed in Works by Deane Swift, the MS adds 'Part the 1st' to the title; Swift's friendship with Mrs Howard was an uneasy one in that he regarded her as too much the courtier to venture too far on behalf of others, himself included, and it is thought that 'Part the 1st' was his warning that he had reserves of irony in store. Prose Writings also makes no mention of MSS of two of Swift's light-hearted short pieces: the autograph fair copy of A History of Poetry, In a Letter to a Friend, now Folger, MS Y.c.1433, SwJ 416 and FACS; and a tran-

The prose work with which Swift perhaps took more pains than any other was his History of the Four Last Years of the Queen, and he was disappointed when Bolingbroke demurred at its publication. Intended to be a justification of his friends in the Tory ministry, it was initially composed during the winter of 1712-13, but Swift continued to work upon it until as late as 1737. A series of six short autograph notes, SwJ 417, evidently for Book IV of the History, is now at the Huntington,

22

JONATHAN SWIFT Forster Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum, SwJ 421; a transcript by George Faulkner, purportedly made in 1738 but, according to Williams, more likely in 1736. The History of the Four Last Years of the Queen was at last published in 1758 by the London bookseller Andrew Millar, apparently from a corrected MS edited by Dr Charles Lucas. Williams's study of the texts show that there is no reason to doubt Millar's claim to have had access to a transcript with Swift's final corrections; but he concludes that the Windsor MS was probably not the basis for either Millar's edition or for the text entitled 'The History of the Last Session of Queen Anne', published in Faulkner, IX (1759).

HM 14380. Identified by George P. Mayhew, the notes have been published and described in 'Notes for The History of the Four Last Years, Book IV, HLQ, 24 (1961), 311-22, reprinted as Chapter 2 of his Rage or Raillery, pp. 26-36. But the notes cannot belong to a preliminary stage of composition; as Mayhew points out, the first entry begins with reference 'L.4. P.29', the third note with a reference 'P.25', and the sixth '29': the notes must therefore be for revisions and additions to pages 25-9 of an already existing MS of Book IV. Mayhew identifies the notes as referring to the Duke of Ormonde's manouvres during the campaign of 1712, and suggests that they were made between February and May 1713 when Swift is known to have resumed work on the History. He further suggests that the information contained in the notes came from Sir Thomas Hanmer, who had been engaged in diplomatic activity in the Low Countries during the summer of 1712. It is clear from references in the 'Journal to Stella' and from a note to Swift by Hanmer that the latter was reading and commenting upon a MS of the History in the spring of 1713.

Swift's dissatisfaction with the first printing of his most famous work, Gulliver's Travels, by Benjamin Motte, is well known. The Forster Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum includes Charles Ford's transcription of a list of the errata in the first edition, SwJ 412, and more importantly a copy of the first edition itself with copious corrections in Ford's hand, partly in the margins but also on inserted leaves, SwJ 411. A second copy of the first edition, also with corrections in Ford's hand which are again written partly on inserted leaves, is now at the Pierpont Morgan, SwJ 413. These corrections were incorporated in the text published in Faulkner (1735), which many scholars accept as representing Swift's final artistic intentions. The most controversial of the copies of the Motte 1726 Gulliver's Travels with MS corrections is that now in Armagh Public Library, SwJ 410. A previous generation of Swift scholars, including Sir Harold Williams, judged that the corrections were not in Swift's hand; but more recently David Woolley and Colin McKelvie have accepted them as autograph. Besides authenticating the hand, David Woolley's 'Swift's Copy of Gulliver's Travels: The Armagh Gulliver, Hyde's Edition, and Swift's Earliest Corrections', in The Art of Jonathan Swift, edited by Clive T. Probyn (London, 1978), pp. 131-78, also shows that 23 of the Armagh copy's emendations appear in the rare first Dublin reprint of Gulliver's Travels, published by John Hyde in 1726. Six of the emendations are unique to Hyde's edition in that they do not appear in Faulkner's text, but on the other hand the Hyde reprint omits some two-thirds of the Armagh copy's emendations. Among modern editions, some of the MS readings of the 'Armagh Gulliver' have been adopted in the Penguin English Library Gulliver's Travels, edited by Angus Ross (Harmondsworth, 1969), which uses Motte's 1726 edition as copy text; a less justifiable proceeding is their incorporation into Faulkner's 1735 text in Colin McKelvie's Appletree Press Gulliver's Travels (Belfast, 1976).

Swift's autograph draft of the character of Robert Harley, one of the principal actors in the History, sent to Harley for his approval, is now among the Portland Papers in the library of the Marquess of Bath, SwJ 418. The most important, however, of the extant MSS is SwJ 419, which has been authoritatively discussed by Harold Williams in 'Jonathan Swift and the Four Last Years of the Queen', The Library, 16 (1935-6), 61-90. The MS consists of 137 leaves, 273 pages of text written in the right-hand columns with corrections on the left. If Williams is correct, the hand is that of Roger Kendrick, Swift's verger, but the corrections and the inscription 'Written at Windsor in the Year 1713 ('1714' deleted)' are in Swift's autograph. It was bought for the Royal Library by Sir Charles Holmes, librarian at Windsor Castle, from Pearson in the last years of the nineteenth-century. Its previous history is uncertain, but Williams identifies it as possibly the MS brought over by Lord Orrery to Dr William King in England in July 1737. In 1741 George Faulkner came to England with Swift's instructions to see to its return, but King was unable to despatch the MS before Faulkner went back to Ireland, and at Faulkner's request he gave the MS to Orrery. The MS was finally obtained from Orrery by Faulkner in 1751, brought to Ireland and given to the Archbishop of Dublin, who placed it in the custody of Lord Chief Justice Singleton. Two other transcriptions are known to have existed: a corrected transcript left in the custody of Mrs Martha Whiteway which Williams identifies with the MS collated by Percy Fitzgerald, the collations now being in the

JONATHAN SWIFT Not surprisingly, no autograph MSS survive for such politically dangerous works as The Drapier's Letters or The Public Spirit of the Whigs. Some extracts from the fourth Drapier's Letter, however, transcribed in the hand of Edward Vernon, c. 1725, can be found in British Library, Add. MS 40804, ff. 44-Iv reversed.

preface from a different source; he is perhaps referring to the transcripts of letters received by Temple which are now at the University of Southampton, Broadlands Archive, Br 6. The transcripts were evidently made over a period of many years, and are out of chronological order; Swift was obliged to draw up an index assigning them numbers. No less than eight hands appear in the volume: of these the earliest is that of Thomas Downton, a previous secretary to Temple, and four other amanuenses remain unidentified. Besides the list of contents headed The Order of the Letters in this Volume' in Swift's autograph, six letters are transcribed in his hand; these may be late additions, as they do not appear in his own chronological index. A seventh, previously thought to be in his hand, is actually in that of the young Esther Johnson; a transcript of Temple's letter to his father, 10 May 1666, it occupies pp. 194-204 of the letterbook, and was possibly made from an earlier transcript on pp. 34-8, now excised. Some corrections to Stella's transcript may possibly be in Swift's hand; it is difficult to be sure, and the evident resemblances between their hands support his claim that he had taught Stella penmanship. See the description and facsimiles in A.C. Elias, 'Stella's Writing-Master', The Scriblerian, 9 (1977), 134-9. The volume evidently remained in Swift's possession until his death because it appears as Lot 634 in the 1745 Sale; it was bought on that occasion by Lord Chesterfield, who made the inscription, The Letters in the following Collection marked with a cross are the Handwriting of Dr. Swift'.

Works edited by Swift Swift's last responsibility to his early employer and patron, Sir William Temple, was to complete the editing for posthumous publication of the statesman's letters and such essays as remained unprinted or uncollected. The surviving MSS which relate to this task, with other material belonging to Swift's years in the Temple household at Moor Park, are now at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild Collection, nos 2253-5, and the Williams Bequest at Cambridge University Library, Add. MS 7788, Box 3. Rothschild, no. 2253 is Swift's transcript of 'Hints Written at the Desire of Dr. F. and of His Friend', written by Sir William Temple in 1694, SwJ 483. This is a portion of 'A Defence of the Essay upon Antient and Modern Learning', eventually included in the posthumous Miscellanea. The Third Part (London, 1701), edited by Swift. The text runs to 16 pages, with section headings numbered 1 and 5-6, sections 2-4 being missing. Above the heading is a note in a nineteenth-century hand 'See Sr. Wm. Temple's Works [1770] Vol. 3. p. 471. This MS is in the Handwriting of Dr. Jonn. Swift'. A separate note in a contemporary scribal hand, headed 'Fragment upon ye Subject of Ant. & Mod. Learning', explains the circumstances of the composition of this fragment. The MS appeared in the the Longe Sale as Lot 1070, with a facsimile in Sotheby's Sale Catalogue, 1-3 August 1934, p. 101. Temple's further autograph drafts with emendations and a link phrase in the same scribal hand are now in the Williams Bequest, Cambridge University Library, Add. MS 7788, Box 3. A note by Williams shows that he believed the scribal hand to be Swift's; but in a recent discussion of the question, Elias, Swift at Moor Park, Appendix D, pp. 325-8, observes that Williams appears not to have seen the Rothschild MS where the two hands may be compared.

The third item in the Rothschild Collection, SwJ 484, is an autograph fair copy of two paragraphs intended for Swift's preface to the collection of Temple's Letters, The Publisher's Epistle to the Reader'. They were omitted from the published text, however, and both pages are cancelled in the MS. No MSS relating to the companion volume, Temple's Letters to the King (London, 1703), have been traced in the course of the present enquiry. For some presentation copies of Swift's editions of Temple, and a description of transcripts which he undertook for other members of the family, see the Marginalia and Miscellaneous sections below.

The largest of the items, SwJ 485, has been described in some detail in Elias, Swift at Moor Park, Appendix A, pp. 311-13. It is a volume of transcripts of Temple's letters, which includes all except one of those published by Swift in Letters of Sir W. Temple, Bart., 2 vols (London, 1700). It does not contain the letters addressed to Temple, which were printed in a separate section at the end of each volume, and according to Swift's published

Diaries and Notebooks Nine of Swift's personal account books are still extant, together with two related notebooks dealing with special aspects of the finances of St Patrick's Cathedral. One of the account books is in the library of the Royal Irish Academy, another is in the Rothschild Collection at

JONATHAN SWIFT 160, the latter continuing on p. 3, with what seems to be a note to pass on an anecdote to Thomas Sheridan, 'Rememb the Abbot when you write to S—'. On p. 4 is the first part of the poem 'Ireld.', SwJ 166, which continues on pp. 8-9, and on p. 5 the poem 'On Ld. Carterets Arms...', SwJ 200. There follows on pp. 6-7 a declaration beginning 'I do here give notice to posterity,...', in which Swift declares he will avoid the mistake of his friends Pope and Gay in commemorating through satire the names of the worthless and insignificant. After a blank unnumbered page following p. 9, the prose journal begins 'Friday at 11 in the morning I left Chester, it Was Sept 22d 1727', and occupies pp. 10-23, with 'When Mrs Welch's Chimny smoks' on p. 21, SwJ 375. The remainder of the volume consists of eight blank unnumbered pages, but on the verso of the last leaf is a reversed entry, a list of 'Male Toasts'. A leaf which apparently became detached from the rest of the volume is now in British Library, MS Egerton 201, f. 1, identified and described in George P. Mayhew, 'A Missing Leaf from Swift's "Holyhead Journal'", BJRL, 41 (1959), 388-413. On it are memoranda and prose jottings, some of which have been further identified as notes for 'Shall I repine', recognisable by references to the poem's source in Scarron, and to Scarron's own source in a passage of Lucretius, SwJ 276 and 496; see Clive T. Probyn, The Power of Time: Swift as Translator', N & Q, n.s., 16 (1969), 337.

Trinity College, Cambridge, and the remainder are in in the Forster Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum. They have been published as The Account Books of Jonathan Swift, transcribed and with an introduction by Paul V. Thompson and Dorothy Jay Thompson (Newark, 1984). The introduction to this edition gives an excellent description of the nature and scope of these volumes: Though the books are mainly lists of household expenses, Swift also included other matter, notably income from his livings and his cathedral property, as well as debts owed to him, wins and losses at cards, lists of letters sent and received, various memoranda, and stray remarks and notations' (p. vii). The Thompsons note that the seven account books now in the Forster Collection have probably come down from John Lyon; he is the first person to make an identifiable reference to them in his notes on Faulkner and on Hawkesworth's 'Life'. They further remark that if Swift sustained the regular practice of making up these accounts and kept the notebooks, he may at one time have had between thirty and forty of them in his possession; Lyon makes reference to now lost account books for the years 1699-1700, 1700-1, 1701-2, 1707-8, 171314, and possibly 1741-2. The 'Holyhead Journal' is a diary kept by Swift during the week 22-9 September 1727, while waiting for passage back to Ireland from the storm-bound harbour, SwJ 495. The notebook contains five poems written during this enforced sojourn. Of these only 'Shall I repine' was printed in Swift's lifetime, entitled The Power of Time' and probably not from this MS; the others appeared only with the publication of the diary as a whole by John Churton Collins in the Gentleman's Magazine, June 1882. The poems are entered separately from the text of the 'Journal' except for 'When Mrs Welch's Chimny smoks', SwJ 375, which actually appears as prose and was first arranged as verse in Williams. The volume was acquired by John Forster from Dr John Henthorn Todd of Trinity College, Dublin, and at one time had been in the possession of Swift's friend John Worrall. On the binding leaf is an inscription in Swift's autograph, This Book I stole from the Rt Honble George Dodington Eqr, one of the Lords of the Treasury June 1727. But the scribblings are all my own'; below is a later inscription, This Book was all wrote by Dean Swift, & was Mr Worral's', with the signature 'Jo. Worral' cancelled. On p. 1 facing is a list of memoranda, notably items which Swift intended to purchase, either for friends or for St Patrick's Cathedral, before leaving London; it is headed 'Memds Those only done wch are crossed'. On p. 2 are the drafts of the poems 'Shall I repine' and 'Holyhead. Sept. 25. 1727', SwJ 277 and

p. 25. There is also extant an autograph inventory of Swift's library, dated 19 August 1715. This was formerly owned by T.P. LeFanu of Abington, Bray, and was described and published by him in two articles, 'Dean Swift's Library', Journal of the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland, 5th Sen, 6 (1896), and 'Catalogue of Dean Swift's Library in 1715, with an Inventory of his Personal Property in 1742', Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy, 37 (1927), 263-5. The MS is now owned by his son William LeFanu, and currently on deposit at King's College, Cambridge. It has been published in facsimile, accompanied by a numbered alphabetical list of the books with short modern bibliographical descriptions, as A Catalogue of Books Belonging to Dr Jonathan Swift.

Gulliver to his Cousin Sympson', the mock dedication of Gulliver's Travels, SwJ 409. Also to be found throughout the volume are words and phrases noted for use in Polite Conversation, SwJ 461, and two drafts in LatinoAnglicus for 'A Consultation of Four Physicians upon a Lord that was dying', SwJ 393-4. A notebook, previously owned by Lord Harmsworth, was sold at Sotheby's, 22 June 1976, Lot 252. It is a word-book, probably compiled by Swift, although written mainly in the hand of Stella, SwJ 500. It is described in the Sotheby's Sale Catalogue, pp. 130-1, as consisting of 76 pages of text with fourteen blank pages at the end. The contents are entered alphabetically under two-letter headings, 1975 words with their definitions, and 20 words without. There are some eighteen annotations and additions in Swift's autograph, and he has written on the flyleaf This is all in our late friends own hand'. The Sale Catalogue traces the provenance of the present volume and notes that this cannot be the word-book mentioned in Scott, I, 154, which had a much smaller number of entries. It apparently passed to Elizabeth Eustace from Frances, daughter of Swift's friend, the minor poet Mrs Siccan; the Eustace family had themselves been friendly with Swift and Stella, and the notebook remained in the possession of their descendants until 1925, when it was acquired by Cecil Harmsworth from Charlotte Gore, niece of Elizabeth Eustace's husband William.

Swift's books, together with some MSS, were auctioned at his death. A Catalogue of Books, The Library of the late Rev. Dr. Swift (Dublin, 1745), printed for the sale by Faulkner, is extremely rare. Williams knew of only two copies: his own which is now at Cambridge University Library; and Sir Walter Scott's, preserved at Abbotsford. But others have since come to light. A copy with the sale prices entered in the hand of Swift's relative, the Dublin surgeon and bookcollector John Putland, and bound with other Dublin sale catalogues, is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Forster Collection; it has been described by E.J.W. McCann, The Priced Copy of the Auction Catalogue of Swift's Library, and Some Other Dublin Catalogues', Swift Studies, 1 (1986), 64-6. Another copy was sold by Christie's, 29 September 1982, to H.D. Lyon. But controversy has arisen concerning the copy offered by Bloomsbury Book Auctions, 28 July 1988, Lot 28, sold to Pickering & Chatto, and now at Yale. An additional 32 items have been added on p. 16 of this copy in an unidentified hand, and Arthur Freeman, 'William Street, 1746, Revisited: Thirty-two New Books from the Library of Jonathan Swift', BC, 38 (1989), 68-78, claimed that these should be considered as books genuinely owned by Swift, omitted by oversight from the catalogue, but included in the sale. This has been contradicted courteously but in detail by F.P. Lock, 'Swift's Library: The Yale Copy of the Sale Catalogue Reconsidered', BC, 40 (1991), 31-50, and the rejoinder by Freeman in the same issue, 'Swift Reconsidered', pp. 51-6, partially withdraws his original assertions. David Woolley, The Dean's Library and the Interlopers', Swift Studies, 4 (1989), 2-12, had already responded negatively to Freeman's argument.

Library and Marginalia The study of Swift's own library must begin with Harold Williams's monograph, Dean Swiff s Library (Oxford, 1932), to which the following account is much indebted. The earliest information on Swift's books is a list of his reading at Moor Park during the twelve months 7 January 1696/7 until 7 January 1697/8; it survives as a transcript in the hand of John Lyon, entered in his annotated copy of Hawkesworth's 'Life' in the Forster Collection, and was published in Sheridan, Life (1784),

What gives the catalogue especial interest is that those books containing Swift's own marginalia were marked with an asterisk. For the reader's interest these asterisked items are listed here in order of Lot; where the book also appears in the 1715 autograph inventory, the number assigned by William LeFanu in his edition of that MS is cited, and cross-references to the entries have also been provided when the volume is still extant. Lots 296, 324, 347, and 620, which are not not asterisked in the catalogue of the 1745 Sale, presumably through oversight, are here added to the list.

Of the persons mentioned, 'Mrs: E:J:' is of course Esther Johnson, 'Stella', Dr Corbet had been her executor, Dr James King was a canon of St Patrick's, and John Rochfort one of Swift's lay friends.

Of the volumes containing Swift's marginalia, those which have caused most confusion among scholars are the various copies of Memoirs of the Secret Services of John Macky Esq. (1733). Some of these have been described by W.F. Trench and K.B. Garett, 'On Swift's Marginalia in Copies of Macky's Memoirs', The Library, 4th Ser., 19 (1938), 354-62, but their account is incomplete and needs correction in certain important respects. It is now accepted that the copy presented to Harvard by Donald and Mary Hyde contains Swift's autograph marginalia, SwJ 529, although the hand seems to have gone unrecognised for quite some time; even Sir Harold Williams, who examined the volume when it was owned by Walter T. Spencer, failed to identify it (see Dean Swift's Library, p. 63n). This copy carries the bookplate of John Putland, who transcribed Swift's marginalia into a copy of his own, SwJ 530, which passed from Putland to Philip Carteret Webb, and it was from this copy that the marginalia were printed by John Nichols in A Supplement to Dr. Swift's Works, 3 vols (1779), I, 429, 462. Formerly in the library of the Royal Institution of Great Britain, it was offered for sale by Paul Grinke in 1974. Another copy with a transcript of the marginalia descending from that made by Putland is SwJ 531, formerly owned by Sir Harold Williams and now at Cambridge University Library; the marginalia were entered here in the hand of Henry Weymouth, who states that his transcript was made from that of John Astle, which itself had been taken from Putland's transcript. SwJ 534, called the 'Lansdowne copy' by Trench and Garrett because it was once in the library of the Marquess of Lansdowne, appears to belong to a different line of descent; here the marginalia are in the hand of Lord Newport, the Irish Lord Chancellor, who seems to have given the book to Lady Betty Germaine; a note apparently in her hand, with her customary initials, records her indignation at Swift's disparaging observa-

It is for the most part in the hand of John Lyon, and was probably made by him in his role as Swift's guardian with a view to conserving the Dean's property, although Williams considered it was not intended as an official document. The MS was apparently not consulted by the compiler of the printed sale catalogue; it supplies information not given by the latter, and lists the volumes by their location on the bookshelves in the Deanery. It consists of nineteen leaves of which the first eleven are taken up with the main listing of the library; on f . 12 is a list of pamphlets and minor pieces; f. 13, in a different hand, is a list of

JONATHAN SWIFT Oxford, endorsed with comments by Swift. The former, SwJ 501, warns Oxford not to neglect the support of moderate Whigs for the sake of gaining self-serving extreme Tories, because the former desire only a successful conclusion to the War of the Spanish Succession and have not been completely alienated by the dismissal of Godolphin and Marlborough. It is written on one page of a bifolium, and Swift has endorsed the conjugate leaf This was not writ by a Fool'. The other memorandum, SwJ 502, argues that the Whigs remain buoyant because under the terms of the existing Regency Act they are assured of regaining power on Queen Anne's death; the law should therefore be amended to allow the Queen her own choice of Regents to implement the Hanoverian succession. This has been endorsed by Swift 'A very goodLettr—'.

tions on her father the Earl of Berkeley, at one time Lord Lieutenant of Ireland and to whom Swift had been domestic chaplain. Being unable to trace its ownership later than 1897, Trench and Garrett's description of this copy is second-hand, and it remains unlocated. A transcript of the marginalia and of the inscriptions by Lord Newport and Lady Betty Germaine from the Lansdowne copy, reproducing even its deletions and corrections, is now at Trinity College, Dublin, SwJ 535; it was made for James Henthorn Todd, Senior Fellow of the college, in the middle of the nineteenth-century. A rather special case is presented by Swift's annotations to his copy of James Gibbs's The First Fifteen Psalms of David Translated into Lyric Verse (London, 1701). At the 1745 Sale the volume itself was originally bought by Nicholas Coyne; but William Dunkin, who had undertaken to acquire it for Lord Chesterfield, persuaded him to relinquish it. Before he parted with the book, however, Coyne made a transcript of its contents, and this in turn was retranscribed by his brother-in-law Neale Molloy. It is Molloy's transcription at secondhand of the text, Swift's annotations, and some later annotations by Dunkin, which is now extant, SwJ 514. It is now at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Forster MS 529, and has been described and quoted in passing by Ellen Douglass Leyburn in her essay 'Swift's Language Trifles', HLQ, 15 (1951-2), 195-200.

Apart from the annotated volumes, several books are still extant with inscriptions recording either their being given to Swift, or his own gift to others. C.L. McKelvie, 'Some Books from Swift's Library', Hermathena, 120 (1976), 30-4, notes a number of books given to Swift by Sir William Temple: signed copies of Temple's Miscellanea, Part 1, 5th edition (1697), and Part II, 4th edition (1697), with notes on the preliminary leaves recording the date of the gift as December 1697, now in Armagh Public Library; also a copy of Isaac Vossius, De sybillinis, given to Swift by Temple, 2 February 1697, now in the Rothschild Collection. An edition of Plautus, Comoediae XX (Paris, 1530), with Swift's note that the volume was a gift from Matthew Prior, was sold at Sotheby's, 19 July 1990, Lot 46, to Sokol. A presentation copy of William King's Miscellanies in Prose and Verse (London, [1709]), with Swift's autograph inscription and note of the date, is now at the Huntington. A presentation copy of Joseph Addison's Remarks on Several Parts of Italy (London, 1705) is in the Forster Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum; Addison's flattering inscription to Swift has been reproduced in John Forster, The Life of Jonathan Swift (London, 1875), I, 160. A copy of Aeschylus, Tragoedice septem, edited by Publius Victor ([Geneva], 1557), inscribed by Swift as a gift from Bolingbroke, is at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. A minature edition of Cicero, Opera (Amsterdam, 1525), given by Swift in 1735 to Theophilus Harrison, Mrs Whiteway's first husband, is now at Cambridge University Library, Williams.410". Swift's copy of Robert Moles worth, An Account of Denmark (London, 1694), with his initials, is at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild, no. 1444. His signed copy of Clement Marot, Oeuvres (Paris, 1700), was offered by Phillips, 18 April 1991, Lot 191.

Apart from printed books, there are a few extant MSS with Swift's marginalia. One of these belongs to the years at Moor Park. This is Martha, Lady Giffard's autograph MS of her translation of an episode from Jorge de Montemayor's Diana , with corrections in Swift's autograph, presumably made at her dictation, SwJ 515, now in Cambridge University Library, Add. MS 7788, Box 3, as part of the Williams Bequest. The MS is headed 'From Diana de Montemayor' and the translation runs to 35 pages. The reader will also wish to note that Swift's transcript of Lady Giffard's translation is also extant, now at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild, no. 2251. The MS, Lot 1069 in the Longe Sale, consists of sixteen bifolia, one of which forms a wrapper inscribed in Lady Giffard's own hand, 'Diana de Monte Mayer, translated by La. G'; an unidentified nineteenth-century hand has added below 'By Lady Gifford Sister of Sir William Temple. This MS is in the handwriting of Dr. Swift'. The translation itself is entitled The Parting of Sireno and Diana Translated out of Spanish from Diana de Mont Mayor', and runs to 28 pages of text. In one of the former Portland Loan MSS, now British Library, Add. MS 70267, Miscellanea 41, are two anonymous memoranda sent to Robert Harley, Earl of

Clifford are now at Columbia University; and those in Sir Harold Williams's own collection are now at Cambridge University Library. The letters in the collection of A.A. Houghton Jr. have been dispersed by sale at Christie's, 11-12 June 1980, Lots 488-97. Of these, an autograph letter from Swift to the Rev Henry Clark of Trinity College, Dublin, 12 December 1734?, was resold at Christie's (New York), 18 November 1988 (Fleming Sale), Lot 335; and an unpublished autograph letter from the Houghton Collection, recommending John Lyon to Lady Orrery, c. 1738, was offered for sale by David J. Holmes in 1987.

The first collection of Swift's letters, edited in two volumes quarto by John Hawkesworth, was published uniform with the London trade edition of Works in 1766. Of the 65 journal letters written by Swift to Esther Johnson and Rebecca Dingley, which since the younger Thomas Sheridan's 1784 edition of Swift's Works are usually printed together as the 'Journal to Stella', Hawkesworth included Letters 1, and 41-65, arranging them chronologically among other letters; he appears to have obtained them from John Lyon, by way of Thomas Wilkes of Dublin. After publication, the booksellers presented the MSS to the British Museum where they are now Add. MSS 4804-6. The 'Journal to Stella' letters can be found in Add. MS 4804, except for Letter 54 which is now lost. They are numbered in arable by Swift according to the order in which they were sent to Stella and Dingley, and also in Roman according to the arrangement of Hawkesworth's volume. Their precise location within the MS is as follows: Letter 1, f. 34; Letters 41-53 and 55, ff. 55-81; Letter 56, ff. 86-7; Letters 57-8, ff. 92-5; Letters 59-61, ff. 98-103; Letters 62-3, ff. 108-11; Letter 64, ff. 116-17; Letter 65, ff. 121-2.

Williams was obliged to take his text of some letters from printed or otherwise second-hand sources, but the MSS of some of these can now be traced. An autograph letter from Swift to the Rev William Diaper, 30 April 1713, printed in Correspondence from a transcript by John Forster, was sold at Christie's, 2 April 1975, and is now at Monash University. Three letters printed in Correspondence from Nichols (1801), from Swift to Viscount Palmerston, 1 January 1726, from Palmerston to Swift, 15 January 1726, and Swift to Palmerston, 29 January 1726, are now at the University of Southampton, Broadlands Archives, BR3/63-5. Two of Swift's letters are in the collection of Lady Eccles (Dr Mary Hyde), a letter to Lord Oxford, 1725, and a letter to William Richardson, 30 April 1737. The latter has been published in facsimile in Four Oaks Library, edited by Gabriel Austin (Somerville, NJ, 1967), facing p. 41; it was printed in Correspondence from Berkeley's Literary Relics. Clive Probyn, "Travelling west-ward": The Lost Letter from Jonathan Swift to Charles Ford', SB, 44 (1991), 265-70, publishes the full text, with a facsimile on p. 268, of an autograph letter from Swift to Ford, 7 June 1713, now at Monash University; it had previously been sold by Sotheby's, 14 December 1989, to Pickering & Chatto. The text of this letter as printed in The Letters of Jonathan Swift to Charles Ford, ed. David Nichol Smith (Oxford, 1935), p. 11, and in Correspondence, I, 367, was a fragment from a Christie's Sale Catalogue, 4 June 1896. David Woolley, 'Swift's Letter to Desfontaines, 1727: The Autograph First Draft', Swift Studies, 2 (1987), 107-13, publishes the autograph first draft of a

Deane Swift had already printed extracts from the 'Journal to Stella' in his Essay upon the Life, Writings, and Character, of Dr. Jonathan Swift (London, 1755), apparently using MSS borrowed from his mother-in-law Mrs Whiteway. When he edited two further volumes of letters in 1768, he included Letters 1-40 of the 'Journal to Stella' in Vol. Ill (viz. Works, Quarto, XII). Although he simply took the text of Letter 1 from Hawkesworth's first volume, he clearly had access to the MSS of Letters 2-40 of the 'Journal', but these are no longer extant, except for Letter 3, 9 September 1710, which was recently offered by Christie's, 29 June 1995, Lot 373, with facsimile. In the Journal to Stella, edited by Harold Williams, 2 vols (Oxford, 1948), which includes a facsimile of Letter 1, I, facing p. 4, the copy texts are the letters in Add. MS 4804 as far as they go, and Letters 2-40 and 54 are taken from Deane Swift and Hawkesworth. The Correspondence of Jonathan Swift, edited by Harold Williams, 5 vols (Oxford, 1963-5), has been reissued in a new impression with corrections by David Woolley, and the MSS of Swift's letters may therefore be said to be under control. The majority of the letters in Correspondence remain in the repositories given by Williams, but those which were printed from MSS in private ownership require some remark. The letters owned by Major-General Sir Eustace Tickell remain the property of the Tickell family, the current owner being

Princeton, Robert H. Taylor Collection, holds some sixteen autograph letters by Swift, most of them to the Rev James Stopford, printed in Correspondence from either John Forster's transcripts or the texts published by Nichols and others. The letters, all autograph, are:

A previously unpublished letter has been printed in Dennis Fletcher, 'New Letters of Pope and Swift', BJECS, 6 (1983), 67-70. The letter, addressed to Archbishop Hoadly, 1 June 1737, and recommending the Rev James King for a vacant prebend at St Patrick's, is in the Musee Royal de Mariemont, 6510 Morlanwelz, Belgium.

to James Stopford, 9 June 1737 to James Stopford, 17 March 1740. Also at Princeton, Robert H. Taylor Collection, are three apparently unpublished autograph letters by Swift: to John Barber, 28 December 1736; to James Stopford, 8 March 1734; and to an unidentified correspondent, 8 December 1726, noted in Correspondence as sold at Sotheby's, 10 June 1909, to B.F. Stevens but not traced.

Miscellaneous Another MS dating from Swift's years at Moor Park is now at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild, no. 2252. This is Swift's transcript of verse translations of the sixth and tenth Satires of Juvenal by Sir Henry Osborne, Lady Temple's brother. It was Lot 1072 in the Longe Sale.

The following letters, the first printed in Correspondence from Deane Swift's edition, the second from an earlier printing in N & Q, the third from Morrison Catalogue (1883), the fourth, in part only, from a Christie's Sale Catalogue, the fifth partly from Scott and partly from a Fleming Sale Catalogue, the sixth from Barrett (1808), have recently appeared at auction:

A number of minor documents are also in the Rothschild Collection. No. 2256 is Swift's receipt, dated 3 September 1702, for £50 from the bookseller Benjamin Tooke for Sir William Temple's Letters to the King. No. 2259 is a receipt dated 'Apr. 14. 1709' to Tooke for £40, in full payment for Temple's Memoirs Part III. No. 2262 is a memorial in Swift's autograph

JONATHAN SWIFT concerning Dr Anthony Raymond, Rector of Trim, addressed to Benjamin Pratt, Provost of Trinity College; endorsed 'Memoriall about Dr Raymond. May. 5. 1713 Dr Prat & Dr Swift', it has been published in Ball, II, 25. No. 2263 is a one-page document promising to pay John Whiteway's apprenticeship fees, signed and dated 15 May 1736 and witnessed by Roger Kendrick and Alexander Croaders; it was published in Ball, V, 334, and reproduced in facsimile in Robert Wyse Jackson, Jonathan Swift, Dean and Pastor (1939), facing p. 169. No. 2274 is an autograph receipt for tithes, dated 'Mar. 8th 1738-9'. No. 2276, is a notebook, containing Swift's list of points to be considered by the new incumbent of a parish, with reference to entries made by the second owner of the book.

refused, the land is to be left instead to Dr Steevens's Hospital. Mayhew suggests that this will was drawn up in consultation with Patrick Delany, possibly between July 1725 and March 1726, but more probably between September 1726 and April 1727; and that the scheme was then abandoned because of Swift's disgust at Provost Richard Baldwin's open and high-handed manipulation of elections to Fellowship in the Whig interest. Also at the Huntington, HM 14347, is a series of directions to Mrs Whiteway in the event of Swift's death, together with a codicil to a later will and a list of executors, signed and dated 'April 22d 1737-Seven' by Swift, with Ann Ridgway and Alexander Brouders as witnesses. Both the early draft will and the later directions have been published in Prose Writings, XIII, Appendix I, 198-200, with a facsimile of the former facing 199. The Last Will and Testment of the Revd Dr Jonathan Swift (Privately printed, Dublin 1984) is based on the text in Faulkner, VIII (1746), but collates a transcript made c. 1815, now in Archbishop Marsh's Library; a textual note by Vincent Kinane remarks that the readings of the transcript sometimes correspond to those of a 1746 separate edition of the will, probably printed by James Hoey.

A document signed by Swift as Dean of St Patrick's, convening a meeting of the Cathedral Chapter for 23 September 1719, was sold in 1987 by Sotheby's to Pickering & Chatto. Another document with his signature, appointing Philip Chamberlain to the Church of St Nicholas, was sold by Phillips, 16 May 1978, Lot 100, to Maggs. An indenture signed by Swift and his curate Stafford Lightburn, 22 December 1726, was offered by Sotheby's, 21 July 1992, but failed to sell. An autograph memorandum concerning the state of the first Earl of Cork's monument in St Patrick's Cathedral, was offered by Phillips, 12 November 1992, but remained unsold; auctioned again on 18 March 1993, Lot 79, it was sold to Christopher Edwards and is now at Monash University.

Swift's commission to act as emissary of the Church of Ireland in petitioning for the remission of the firstfruits and twentieth parts, signed by Narcissus Marsh, Primate of All Ireland and Archbishop of Armagh, and by William King, Archbishop of Dublin, is now bound among the letters in British Library, Add. MS 4804, ff. 40-1. The commission is written on the first two pages of a bifolium, and the conjugate is endorsed by Swift 'Power from the Ld Primate and Ar Bp Dublin Octbr. 24th. 1710 First fruits', and below 'Primate & A B Dublin'. It has been published by John Hawkesworth in Works, X (Letters, I), 38, and as Appendix II in the Journal to Stella, edited by Harold Williams, 2 vols (Oxford, 1948), II, 676.

A document signed by Swift, 20 August 1712, paying his dividend in the South Sea Company to John Barber, bound in an extra-illustrated set of Thomas Moore's biography of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, is at Harvard, Widener Collection, 15.9.2, Vol. I. An autograph receipt for £30 paid to Swift by Benjamin Took for the original copies of three essays by Sir William Temple, dated 29 July 1701, is now at the Berg.

A copy of The History of the Four Last Years of the Queen (London, 1758), with annotations in the hand of James Harris, the celebrated linguist and author of Hermes, is at Yale, Osborn Shelves, pc.228. One of a pair of interleaved volumes which together comprised a copy of Faulker (1735), II, annotated by Deane Swift, is now at the Huntington, HEH 330045.

There is a draft fragment of what appears to be Swift's first will in the Huntington, HM 14346; it has been described in George P. Mayhew, 'Swift's First Will', HLQ, 21 (1958), 295, and in Rage or Raillery, Chapter Four, 'Swift's First Will and the First Use of the Provost's Negative at T.C.D.', pp. 69-93. It is written on the fourth page of a bifolium, the first two pages of which are taken up with notes for a 'Proposal for Virtue', SwJ 467. The will proposes a bequest of land to Trinity College, Dublin, and the terms on which it will be leased to fund a 'Swift's Fellow'; if the bequest is

A copy of Temple's An Introduction to the History of England, second edition (London, 1699), apparently given to Swift by Lady Acheson, inscribed in her hand 'Anne Acheson 1730', is at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild, no. 2399.

James Thomson 1700-48

Cranstone', probably Thomson's friend the Rev John Cranstoun of Ancrum. Other names, possibly in Thomson's hand, appear throughout the volume: 'Betty Gaston daughter to David Gastion Merchantt in Kelso', p. 9; 'Christian Gastion', p. 26; 'John Johnston', p. 26. Only two of the poems were published during Thomson's lifetime. In one of the important discussions of the MS, Alan D. McKillop, 'Two 18th Century "First Works": 2. James Thomson's Juvenile Poems', Newberry Library Bulletin, 4 (1955), 13-23, concludes that the contents were probably composed 1716-19 and the MS itself written out c. 1720. McKillop noted that it begins as fair copy but that 'later pages are less carefully written and show more revisions and deletions'. Some leaves are torn or nibbled by vermin, so that the text of several poems is imperfect.

The reference editions for Thomson's poetry are the twin volumes edited by James Sambrook, The Seasons (Oxford, 1981) and Liberty, The Castle of Indolence, and Other Poems (Oxford, 1986). Together these mark a considerable advance on the previous standard edition, Poetical Works, edited by J. Logic Robertson (Oxford, 1908), which although it provided a critical edition of The Seasons, did so in a modern-spelling text, and omitted several of Thomson's juvenilia in spite of there being no real grounds for questioning their authenticity. Professor Sambrook's second volume not only includes poems discovered since 1908, in particular it frequently uses MS as copy text for Thomson's juvenile and other shorter poems. For the dramatic works, references are provided to The Plays of James Thomson, 1700-48: A Critical Edition, edited by John C. Greene, 2 vols (New York and London, 1987).

The provenance of the MS is slightly uncertain. A young London bookseller, William Goodhugh, announced that he had acquired the MS in the Gentleman's Magazine, April 1818, p. 386, and also in the Monthly Magazine, 46 (1818), 256. When Goodhugh published one of the poems in The Observer, 19 September 1818, and his associate J. Brown two more in the Literary Gazette, 3 October 1818, pp. 629-30, they stated that the MS had been given to Lord George Graham either by Thomson or by his fellow-poet and fellow-Scot David Mallet. It had then passed to Lord George's son, grandson, and finally his great niece, Miss Graham, who had given it to Goodhugh. Similar accounts are given in Goodhugh's The English Gentleman's Library Manual (London, 1827), p. 288, and in a letter from Brown to David Steuart Erskine, Earl of Buchan, 30 September 1818. Brown's three letters to Lord Buchan, whose patronage as a noted authority on Thomson he was seeking for a projected new

'Juvenile Poems' The earliest, and one of the most important, of Thomson's autograph MSS is the volume of juvenilia at the Newberry Library, Chicago. The MS itself has been missing since 1970, but fortunately the Newberry Library still possesses a photocopy. The volume consists of 26 leaves, bound in morocco. The first leaf is a titlepage written in an unidentified hand, 'Juvenile Poems wrote by James Thomson Author of the Seasons at the Age of ![?] Years'. The subsequent pages are numbered in Thomson's hand, excepting p. 28; two leaves forming pp. 42-5 have been excised. The text is written on both sides of each leaf, and the volume contains 27 poems and the concluding eight lines of a poem which began on one of the missing leaves. One heading on p. 1, 'Miscelany Poems', and an index on p. 55 are both in Thomson's hand. The latter page is also signed by 'John

JAMES THOMSON edition of the poetry, are now bound with the MS. McKillop remarks that this account is open to question in so far as Lord George Graham died unmarried; but that he and his brother William, later Duke of Montrose, were indeed Mallet's pupils in the years 1723-31. Sambrook (1986), p. 255, considers the account in Lord Buchan's own letter to Brown, 26 January 1819, Edinburgh University Library, MS Gen. 1429/26, more dependable. Buchan states that he had seen the MS in Mallet's possession some 55 years previously, and surmises that it had passed to the heir of Lord George Graham. Sambrook concludes that Buchan probably saw the MS about a year before Mallet's death in 1765, and it was then that it came to be owned by one of the Grahams. As to its later history, Goodhugh subsequently sold the MS to the bookseller Henry Colburn, who presented it to the collector William Upcott; it was later owned by Sir John Dashwood King, and was finally received by the Newberry Library, Chicago, in 1890 as part of Henry Probasco's collection.

None of the early nineteenth-century printings of the poems are textually satisfactory, whether through incompleteness, inaccuracy, or editorial interpolation. Between them Goodhugh and Brown had printed eight of the poems. Five of these were reprinted together with nine previously unpublished poems in the original Aldine edition of The Poetical Works of James Thomson, with a Memoir of Thomson by Sir Harris Nicholas, 2 vols (London, 1830); this can be said to give better texts in so far as it shares the same deficiencies in a slightly lesser degree. Thus eleven poems remained to be published for the first time in H. Schmidt-Wartenberg, 'Das Newberry Manuskript von James Thomson's Jugendgedichten', Anglia, 23 (1901), 129-52. This article offered the first comprehensive scholarly account of the MS, and also corrected the texts of previously published poems against its readings.

The titles of the poems on the excised pp. 42-5 were reconstructed by Schmidt-Wartenberg on the basis of Thomson's Index, and have been accepted by subsequent scholars. The eight surviving lines of '[Fragment: Upon a Flower given me by —]', ThJ 11, are written at the top of p. 46.

JAMES THOMSON parts of The Seasons published 1730-5 descend from the 1730 quarto, and that the octavo Seasons dated '1730' and the Works (1738) 'follow the pamphlets by separate lines of descent'. So far there had been few authorial changes to the text since 1730, but Thomson now made a thorough revision for the 1744 small octavo edition of The Seasons and Works (1744). Further authoritative revisions occur in the 1745 small octavo and 1746 duodecimo editions of The Seasons. Textual changes introduced in the posthumous editions which claim to incorporate Thomson's last improvements may surely be laid at the door of George, Baron Lyttelton, Thomson's friend and patron during his life, and executor on his death.

Contents: ThJ 4-11,14, 33, 43-7, 49-50, 78-9, 90-8. No publication of the whole traced; individual items collated or printed as copy texts in Goodhugh (1827), Nicholas (1830), Schmidt-Wartenberg, and Sambrook (1986), see individual entries for details; described in Schmidt-Wartenberg, in Alan D. McKillop, 'Two 18th Century "First Works": 2. James Thomson's Juvenile Poems', Newberry Library Bulletin, 4 (1955), 13-23, and in Sambrook (1986), pp. 224-8. Newberry Library, Chicago. There is a transcript of the contents of 'Juvenile Poems' in the Victoria and Albert Museum, Forster MS 598, with lacunae which show that when the transcription was made the MS was already torn and the two missing leaves had been excised. The Forster transcript does indeed supply words and phrases where the original is imperfect; but although he prints some of these readings in his apparatus, Professor Sambrook observes, 'in most, if not all, cases they must represent only the transcriber's conjectures' (p. 228). Adjacent memoranda in Forster MS 598 suggest that the transcript dates from the early nineteenth century, probably contemporaneous with the printing of the contents of 'Juvenile Poems' by Goodhugh and Brown. Given their late date and the probably unauthoritative nature of their readings, the transcripts in Forster MS 598 are not given entries here, although noted in the appropriate editorial paragraph.

Thomson's letters to his friends, especially those to David Mallet, when he was engaged in composing the early versions of The Seasons, show that he was in the habit of enclosing draft passages for their perusal. Two transcripts of a letter to John Cranstoun, October 1725, which quotes drafts of Winter, ThJ 54 and 55, can be found in the National Library of Scotland and the University of Edinburgh. It is only for the later recension of the text that autograph MS survives, an interleaved copy of Works (1738), I, with emendations mainly in Thomson's autograph, but also some in the hand of Lyttelton, ThJ 51. The volume is now in the British Library, Department of Printed Books, C.28.e.l7. It was at one time owned by the nineteenth-century scholar John Mitford, who first mentioned and quoted it in his 'Essay on the Poetry of Gray', The Works of Thomas Gray, 2 vols (London, 1816), I, xcv-xcvi. A much fuller selection of the revisions was later published in Mitford's Thomson's Seasons, and Their Various Readings', Gentleman s Magazine, December 1841, pp. 563-82. Mitford mistook Lyttelton's hand for that of Alexander Pope, but the correct identification was made by Peter Cunningham in The Athenaeum, 24 July 1847, p. 785.

The Seasons Thomson's masterpiece has a complicated textual history due to its being published in stages and subjected to protracted revision. For a full account the reader should consult the authoritative discussion in Sambrook (1981), pp. xxxiv-lxxix, because only the briefest summary can be offered here. Winter was first published in a folio edition in April 1726. A revised second edition in octavo followed in July the same year; the 'third' and 'fourth' editions of September 1726 and February 1727 appear to be press-variant titles, actually printed in the same pressrun as the second edition. A revised fifth edition was published in March 1728. Meanwhile Summer had been first published separately in octavo in February 1727; the second edition, advertised in late March 1728, is simply a reissue with a cancel title-page. Spring was advertised for June 1728, and reissued with a cancel-title dated 1729 as the second edition. The complete Seasons was published in 1730 as a subscription quarto; the text of 'Winter' especially was revised, some 70 lines being transferred to the new 'Autumn'. Professor Sambrook concludes that the various pamphlet editions of separate

The nature of the revisions are well described in the Introduction to Sambrook (1981), pp. Ixvi-lxviii, and in Robert Inglesfield, 'The British Library Revisions to Thomson's The Seasons', The Library, 6th Sen, 1 (1979), 62-9. It seems likely that Thomson's revisions were made when staying with Lyttelton at Hagley Hall from late August through September 1743. Thomson sometimes uses the interleaved pages for rough drafts of his revisions, but some longer passages must have been drafted elsewhere; also asterisks appear to mark where other revisions written on loose leaves should be incorporated. It is possible to discern different stages in the process, because some revisions are either cancelled, or

JAMES THOMSON themselves further revised. Thomson also took the opportunity to thoroughly revise the accidentals and typography, emending capitals, punctuation, and spelling forms. Lyttelton was evidently consulted, but some of his offered revisions and remarks have been deleted or altered by Thomson.

derive from printed sources: a copy of Spring, second edition (London, 1731), bound with Summer, third edition (London, 1730), ThJ 57, at the British Library, Department of Printed Books; and a copy of the octavo Seasons (London, 1730), ThJ 58, at Edinburgh University Library. More interesting is the copy of Winter, folio first edition (London, 1726), ThJ 56, in the Dyce Collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum; this has MS emendations on p. 9 which do not correspond with any printed text. None of these three copies, however, are collated in Sambrook (1981).

Comparison with the text that was published in 1744 shows that Thomson ignored some of Lyttelton's suggestions to transpose certain passages, and that although he accepted some of Lyttelton's rewriting it was with his own alteration. But it is also apparent that during the winter of 1743-4 Thomson must have decided on an even more thorough recension of the text than he had originally intended, because the revisions of ThJ 51 have themselves undergone major alterations; this stage must have been carried out elsewhere. Thomson very probably abandoned the interleaved volume as inadequate for the purpose, nor can it have served as printer's copy for the 1744 editions of The Seasons and Works.

Other Verse The same British Library copy of Works (1738), I, which Thomson used for his 1743 recension of The Seasons also contains revisions to the texts of 'Britannia', ThJ 1, and 'A Poem Sacred to the Memory of Sir Isaac Newton', ThJ 48. As has been remarked previously this interleaved copy seems never to have been sent to the printer, and consequently the revisions were not incorporated into the texts of these two poems during Thomson's lifetime. A few revisions to each poem were, however, adopted in the posthumous Works (1762) published by Patrick Murdoch.

After Thomson's death, Lyttelton undertook to revise the poems for the Works (1750); of The Seasons, only 'Autumn' was affected, the most important change being the excision of lines 483-569, a burlesque description of a fox-hunt and the subsequent drinking-bout. Not content with this, Lyttelton evidently intended to make further 'improvements' to the text of The Seasons subsequent to this edition. A copy of Works (1752), I, interleaved and prepared for the press, with copious revisions and a prefatory note in Lyttelton's hand, could formerly be found at Hagley Hall. The date 'MDCC.LIF on the titlepage was altered by Lyttelton to 'MDCC.LVIIF, but the revisions do not in fact appear in the 1757 or 1758 printings. Thomson's Seasons, Critical Edition, edited by Otto Zippel, Palaestra 66 (Berlin, 1908), pp. xxii-xxxi, records some 350 changes to the 1752 text, affecting some 400 lines. Certain passages were to be omitted, including the entire 'Hymn on the Seasons', other passages transposed, and some interpolations apparently by Lyttelton himself added. The Hagley Hall Works (1752) seems to have been destroyed by fire in 1925, but there is still extant a copy of the one-volume Works (1768) into which Lyttelton's revisions have been transcribed by John Mitford, British Library, Department of Printed Books, C.134.C.1. Mitford published a selection of these revisions in the latter part of his Thomson's Seasons, and Their Various Readings', Gentleman's Magazine, December 1841, pp. 576-82, cited above.

The remaining MSS of Thomson's verse are best discussed in terms of their provenance. Some of these form part of the texts of letters. A letter from Thomson to David Mallet dated 10 July 1725, now in the collection of the publisher John Murray, contains a text of the 'Hymn on Solitude', ThJ 12; this version is some six lines shorter than that found in a transcript by Lady Hertford at Alnwick Castle, see ThJ 13 discussed below, or the text published in Ralph's Miscellany of 1729. Of Thomson's long poem, Liberty, there remains a passage of 23 lines, ThJ 15, in an autograph letter from Thomson to William Cranstoun, 20 October 1735, now at the Pierpont Morgan. In the letter the lines are described as 'designed at first to be prefixed to Liberty, but afterwards reduced to those you see stand there'. The first line of the passage, '—Be then the starting Tear', corresponds to line 14 of Liberty, Part 1, and clearly forms part of the tribute to the recently deceased Charles, Lord Talbot. There is a transcript of the letter, including the lines on Talbot, ThJ 16, in the hand of John Waldie, entered together with six other letters from Thomson to Cranstoun in Waldie's commonplace book commonplace book now in the Scottish Record Office. A further transcript by Waldie, which was sent to Lord Buchan at some date prior to 1804, can be found at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Forster MS 599, but this has not been given an entry.

A few marked-up copies of the early editions may be noted here, although their textual value appears doubtful. In two cases the MS emendations are simply selected readings from the revised text of 1744, and probably

96

JAMES THOMSON clearly suggesting that it was written to accompany the gift of a copy of The Seasons, and which seems to have provided the text for the first printing of the poem in 1784. Also among these insertions in the volume is a revised autograph MS of 'On the Death of Mr. William Aikman, the Painter', ThJ 30, pasted on the verso of the title-page. When a complete text of 'On the Death of Mr. William Aikman, the Painter' was first published in Buchan (1792), an accompanying note specified that it was from a MS in Buchan's own collection; it is reasonable to presume that ThJ 30 is meant. The poem had been previously published only in a severely truncated version in Lyttelton's edition of the Works (1750), lines 33-40 only. In Buchan (1792), lines 27-32 are printed in italic and followed by two lines, also italicised, not found in the autograph MS. In a note to line 32 Buchan comments that This and the three preceding lines are not in the MS. of Mrs. Forbes Aikman'. Sambrook is inclined to identify this last with the transcript of the Aikman elegy in an unidentified hand, ThJ 40, preserved among the papers of Sir John Clerk of Penicuik currently on deposit at the Scottish Record Office. It would therefore have been transcribed from the MS sent by Thomson to Aikman's family, and Professor Sambrook further surmises that the printing of the elegy in James Anderson's The Bee, 17 (Edinburgh, 1793), 31-2, is likely to have been based upon the Clerk of Penicuik transcript; circumstantial evidence points to Anderson's having acess to other MSS of the Aikman family. Not only does the Clerk of Penicuik MS give substantively different readings of lines 27-32, its lines 31-2 correspond to the two extra lines in Buchan (1792). Professor Sambrook concludes finally that Buchan's published version is an eclectic text drawing on both MSS, and the italicised passage indicates where they diverge textually.

The poems which Thomson wrote to Elizabeth Young, with whom he fell deeply in love when in his forties, are preserved with his autograph letters to her at the Pierpont Morgan, MA 1575. Four poems are written out separately for enclosure with letters: 'Song: ['Come, dear Eliza']', ThJ 60; the birthday poem, '[Lines: 'Hail to the Day']', ThJ 20; 'Song: ['Come, gentle Power']', ThJ 62; and 'Song: ['One Day the God']', ThJ 72. Other poems appear in the texts of the letters themselves: '[Lines: 'O thou! for whom']' in a letter of 23 October 1745, ThJ 25; '[Lines: 'Still as I gaz'd']' in a letter of 19 April 1743, ThJ 29. In the case of 'Song: ['How long, Eliza']', only line 9 is quoted in the letter of 26 May 1743, ThJ 70. The Pierpont Morgan MS of the letter to Miss Young of 10 March 1743, which contains '[Lines: 'Ah wise too late']', is the fair copy, ThJ 18. But Thomson's autograph draft of the letter and the poem are also extant, ThJ 17, formerly among the Dundas of Ochtertyre papers at the Scottish Record Office and auctioned at Sotheby's, 21 July and 14 December 1992, unsold on both occasions. The poem was first published in Buchan (1792), p. 279, and there is a transcript in Lord Buchan's hand, ThJ 19, among his letters at Edinburgh University Library, MS Gen. 1429/26. Buchan's transcript includes some substantive variants, notably 'urge' for 'wise' in the first line, which as Sambrook (1986), p. 432, remarks are probably errors. One variant, however, does not appear in the text as he published it, so the relationship between Buchan's transcript and his published text is not altogether clear. Also among the Thomson letters from the Dundas of Ochtertyre papers which were unsuccessfully auctioned at Sotheby's in 1992 is an autograph letter from Thomson to Elizabeth Young's married sister, Mrs William Robertson, Christmas Day 1742; this contains the text of '[Song; 'O thou, whose tender serious Eyes']', ThJ 71, which although not directly addressed to Elizabeth Young, may have been intended to be seen by her. This poem too was first printed in Buchan (1792), p. 277.

Other Thomson MSS seem to have passed through Buchan's hands besides those at Edinburgh University Library. For example, the revised autograph MS of 'On his Mother's Death', ThJ 36, now in the Stark Collection at Texas, has Buchan's endorsement, dated 15 April 1802 from his seat at Dryburgh Abbey, which identifies the MS as 'first rough draft' and records Buchan's gift of it to Lady Anne Hamilton. Buchan seems to have owned another autograph MS of this poem, now missing. His letter to J. Brown, 26 January 1819, at Edinburgh University Library, MS Gen. 1429/36, mentions a MS of 'On his Mother's Death' among a list of those which he presented to Edinburgh University; and when the poem was printed in Goodhugh (1827) it was purportedly 'From the original, formerly in the collection of the Earl of Buchan, by whom it was presented, by the poet in a dedication copy of the quarto edition of the Seasons, to

The MSS of four poems are inserted into a copy of The Seasons (1730), presented, as from Thomson, by Andrew Millar to Buchan's father, and given by Buchan to Edinburgh University Library. These include: an autograph alternative version of Canto II, stanza xliii, of The Castle of Indolence, ThJ 2; two autograph versions of 'Song: ['For ever, Fortune']', ThJ 65 and ThJ 66, designated 'A' and 'B' respectively in Sambrook (1986), where the latter, being evidently the fair copy, is chosen as copy text; and a transcript of To Miss Young, my dearest Amanda', ThJ 84, here headed 'Lines sent by Thomson to his Amanda with a copy of the Seasons',

JAMES THOMSON the University of Edinburgh', which is manifestly the copy of the 1730 quarto Seasons described above. Comparison of the extant Stark Collection MS with the texts printed in Buchan (1792) and Goodhugh (1827) led I.E. Wells in 'James Thomson's Poem "On the Death of His Mother'", MLR, 33 (1938), 46-50, to conclude that 'Buchan had at least three copies of the poem in Thomson's handwriting'. Sambrook (1986), pp. 407-8, points out that characteristically inaccurate editing by Buchan and Goodhugh, together with intervening transcription, would account for the textual differences; a third autograph MS therefore becomes an entity without necessity.

'A Miscellany of Verse and Prose Begun March the 5, 1725/6', Alnwick MS 116. These include ThJ 13, a variant version of 'A Hymn to Solitude', pp. 92-3; ThJ 35, 'On a Lady's undertaking to tell a Gentleman what he thought on by feeling his Pulse', p. 228, attributed to Thomson in the index to the MS; ThJ 87, 'To Retirement: an Ode', pp. 229-30, here dated 'June 13th. 1735'; ThJ 39, 'On the Death of Mr. William Aikman, the Painter', pp. 184-5, apparently transcribed from the draft version which accompanied Thomson's letter to Lady Hertford from Paris, 10 October 1732, printed in Letters and Documents, p. 81. These four texts were printed and discussed, ThJ 35 and ThJ 87 for the first time, in in Helen Sard Hughes, 'Thomson and the Countess of Hertford', MP, 25 (1928), 439-68. The readings in Lady Hertford's transcript of the elegy on Aikman are similar to those in the Clerk of Penicuik transcript in the Scottish Record Office, ThJ 40 described above.

MSS of two poems were until relatively recently owned by Viscount Cobham at Hagley Hall, which had been the seat of Lord Lyttelton. Both were sold at Sotheby's, 12 December 1978; one was resold there on 22 July 1985, and is now in the British Library, Add. MS 63520, f. 26. This is an autograph fragment, lines 33-40 of 'On the Death of Mr. William Aikman, the Painter', with a correction to the last line in Lyttelton's hand, ThJ 38. This extract was almost certainly the source for the eight-line version published by Lyttelton in Works (1750), since the latter includes his emendation of the manuscript. The complete text of the elegy was eventually printed in Buchan (1792), as noted above. The other MS at Hagley Hall was a version of 'Song: ['Come, dear Eliza']', mainly transcribed in Lyttelton's hand but with the fourth and last quatrain in Thomson's autograph, ThJ 61; it appears to have been the source of the text printed in Nicholas (1830), which is accompanied by a note that it was supplied to the editor by William Henry, Lord Lyttelton, 'from a copy in Thomson's own hand'. The autograph MS of a short consolatory poem, 'To George Lyttelton, Esq.', ThJ 80, inscribed on a preliminary leaf of a presentation copy of The Seasons (London, 1746) now at the Huntington, must also have originally been at Hagley Hall. There is a transcript of the poem in the Earl of Buchan's hand at Edinburgh University Library, apparently deriving from Thomson's autograph MS at one remove; Buchan's transcript has a note that it was taken in 1793 from an intervening transcript made by a son of James Johnson, Bishop of Worcester, 'from a copy of the Seasons at Hagley which was presented to Mr Lyttelton soon after the death of his first wife by Mr. Thomson anno 1746'.

A later article by Hughes, 'Thomson and Lady Hertford Again', MP, 28 (1931), 468-70, published for the first time two versions of '[Lines:'In Vain the Gentle Moon']', ThJ 23, accidentally omitting the second line, and ThJ 24. The first, which begins Tn vain the silver Moon', is from Alnwick MS 112, a volume of Lady Hertford's transcripts of her correspondence with Henrietta Louisa Fermor, Countess of Pomfret. The lines occur in a letter of 22 January 1741 written by Lady Pomfret from Italy, prompted by her mentioning a poem by Lady Wortley Montagu. The second, which Hughes considered textually superior and is the copy text of this poem in Sambrook (1986), is a transcript by Lady Hertford entered in a MS volume simply entitled 'Poems', Alnwick MS 118. Not only does this second transcript have a slightly different first line, on the verso of the leaf are 24 lines which Professor Sambrook regards as possibly a continuation of the same poem, but which he scrupulously relegates to an Appendix. For 'To Seraphina. Ode' Professor Sambrook's copy text is that published after Thomson's death by Lyttelton in Works (1750). There is, however, a transcript of a slightly longer and substantively very different version of this poem, ThJ 89, in Alnwick MS 109. This volume, entitled 'Letters and Verses By Philomela', was initially used by Lady Hertford for her transcripts of poems and letters by Elizabeth Rowe. But later Lady Hertford abandoned the volume for this purpose, retranscribed Elizabeth Rowe's material into another volume, Alnwick MS 110, and used the remaining leaves of MS 109 as a general commonplace book. There is therefore no need to question Thomson's authorship of To Seraphina', but given Lyttelton's well-known practice of rewriting Thomson's

Several of Thomson's poems have been preserved in the MSS of his patroness Frances Seymour, Countess of Hertford. Her daughter married the Duke of Northumberland, and the MSS are now at Alnwick Castle. Several poems are transcribed by Lady Hertford into her

JAMES THOMSON Dramatic Works

poems, this version, which runs to 28 lines and begins 'Let Mortal passions Change and dye', is probably more authentic. It is discussed and published by the present writer in Thomson and the Countess of Hertford Yet Once More', RES, forthcoming.

MSS have survived relating to all of Thomson's dramas. His autograph revisions to Acts II, V, and the Epilogue of his tragedy Sophonisba, ThJ 105, are found in the same interleaved copy of Works (1738), I, as his revisions to The Seasons, Britannia, and A Poem Sacred to the Memory of Sir Isaac Newton. Two passages from the same play are quoted in a letter to Lady Hertford from Elizabeth Rowe, as transcribed by Lady Hertford in one of her MS volumes of their correspondence, ThJ 106. A short quotation from Edward and Eleonora can be found in an autograph letter to Elizabeth Young of 21 January 1744, ThJ 103, among the collection of letters and poems addressed to her now at the Pierpont Morgan.

A few shorter poems are preserved among the papers of Dr Thomas Birch in British Library, Add. MS 4457. One of these is in Thomson's autograph, '[Lines: 'Snatch me some God ']', ThJ 26, preceded by his transcript of eight lines from Joseph Addison's 'A Letter from Italy', see FACS. The passage from Addison, its first two couplets transposed and slightly modified in Thomson's transcript, here begins 'Bear me some God...', and Thomson's own lines are a riposte to Addison's praise of the Italian landscape and climate. Bound immediately preceding is Birch's own transcript of both Thomson's and Addison's lines, ThJ 27, but here Thomson's poem comes first. On the further preceding leaf there is a transcript in an unidentified hand of Thomson's '[Song: 'Sweet Tyrant Love']', ThJ 73, endorsed in a second hand with the date 'January 23d 1738'. The former hand, incidentally, also appears in the transcripts of some poems by Anne Finch, Lady Winchilsea, bound into the same MS; see her section, WiA 14, 95, 155, 220, 242, 252.

The other MSS belong to the Huntington's Larpent Collection of plays submitted to the Lord Chamberlain under the Licensing Act of 1737. Three of these, the MSS of Coriolanus, ThJ 102, of Edward and Eleanora, ThJ 104, and of Tancred and Sigismunda, ThJ 107, are transcripts in the hand of Thomson's secretary, William Paterson. The transcript of Agamemnon, ThJ 99, is probably also in Paterson's hand, although it has a slightly different appearance from the other three; it has also some revisions, one of which is in Thomson's autograph. Passing notice of these revisions is made in Jean B. Kern, 'James Thomson's Revisions of Agamemnon , PQ, 45 (1966), 289-303, but the real concern of this essay is the significant difference between the Larpent MS and the first published text of 1738, in particular the cutting of a romantic sub-plot involving Electra and Egisthus' son Hemon, some rearrangement of scenes, and a new epilogue. A letter from Benjamin Victor to Nathaniel Wood, printed in Letters and Documents, pp. 119-20, states that a group of wits lead by Alexander Pope undertook to help Thomson modify the play on the morning after the first night's performance. Kern concludes firstly that Pope's role in the alterations is unproven, although consistent with what is known of his advising dramatic authors in the 1730s; secondly that the changes are too large to have been introduced after the first night, and that more likely they were made during a break in the play's run between 10 and 15 April.

Two autograph MSS of 'To Miss Young, my dearest Amanda', ThJ 81 and 83, are at present unlocated although facsimiles of both exist: the former as frontispiece to Vol. II in the revised Aldine edition of Poetical Works, edited by D.C. Tovey, 2 vols (London, 1897); the latter, lines 1-4, only in Maggs Catalogue 554, March 1931, Item 298. Comparison shows that these two MSS are quite distinct, not only from each other but also from a third autograph MS, ThJ 82, bound into a defective copy of The Seasons (London, 1744) now in the Sumner Collection at Harvard. There is also a a presentation copy of The Seasons (London, 1744) which has a transcript of the poem in an unidentified hand written on the flyleaf, ThJ 86, in the Wells Wordsworth and Thomson Collection at Swarthmore College, which was originally the private collection of the Thomson scholar, John Edwin Wells. Also in this collection is a copy of The Castle of Indolence, second edition (London, 1748) into which has been pinned a leaf with an additional stanza, transcribed in an unidentified hand and signed with an illegible monogram, ThJ 3. The stanza, which seems to have been intended to follow Canto I, stanza Ixxii, is dated 1758. Its authenticity is rather uncertain and it is relegated to the appendix of 'Poems of Uncertain Authorship' in Sambrook (1986), p. 320.

The MSS of Alfred: A Masque present special problems arising from the piece's rather complex stage history. The original version in two acts, written by Thomson in collaboration with David Mallet, was commissioned by Frederick, Prince of Wales, performed privately at Cliveden House, 1 August 1740, and published the same year. A transcript of an enlarged version in three acts intended for the public stage, ThJ 100, was submitted by Charles Fleetwood of Drury Lane to the

Scottish Record Office, but failed to sell when offered at Sotheby's, 21 July 1992: to Mrs William Robertson, 27 November, 7 December, and Christmas Day 1742; and the draft of the letter to Elizabeth Young, 10 March 1743. The first three of these were printed from Buchan (1792) in Letters and Documents, where the recipient of the 7 December 1742 letter was tentatively identified as Andrew Millar.

In addition to this a transcript of a later version of Alfred is also extant. This is a revision carried out by Mallet alone after Thomson's death, although it preserves substantial parts of the three-act text which he had written with Thomson, ThJ 100 above. The MS runs to fifty pages, and has revisions and additions in Mallet's hand, notably to the Epilogue and the Hermit's speech, and also two alternative stanzas for the ode 'Rule, Britannia' written on an inserted slip of paper. Mallet's Alfred was performed at Drury Lane, 23 February 1751, and printed the same year. Although evidently a transcript submitted for licensing, this MS is not in the Larpent Collection, but Huntington, HM 203.

Letters and Documents gave only an extract of Thomson's letter to an unidentified lady, 31 May 1745, printed from Maggs Catalogue 568, December 1931, Item 1429. The full text has now been published in Alan D. McKillop, Two More Thomson Letters', MP, 60 (1962), 128-30; the letter is now at the Pierpont Morgan. The same article publishes a new letter from Thomson to Elizabeth Young, which McKillop dated tentatively early June 1743, found at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. A.S. Bell, Three New Letters of James Thomson', N & Q, n.s., 19 (1972), 367-9, prints previously unpublished letters from Thomson to his early patron, Sir William Bennet of Grubet, 22 April 1725, containing ThJ 21, 31 May 1725, and 10 April 1729; they were discovered among the Ogilvy of Inverquharity papers on deposit at the Scottish Record Office, GD 2057 box34/portfolio 4. An autograph letter from Thomson to George, Lord Lyttelton, 14 December 1747, was sold at Sotheby's, 10-11 July 1986, to Joseph; it was previously auctioned on 21 July 1983 but had failed to sell. Thomson's letter to Gavin Hamilton, 18 February 1738, taken from a printed source in Letters and Documents, pp. 118-9, was auctioned at Sotheby's, 19 July 1990, but unsold. Finally a new autograph letter from Thomson to David Mallet, 8 October 1726, was auctioned at Christie's, 29 June 1995, Lot 375.

The Larpent Collection, however, does include yet a third version of Alfred, but a printed text, not a MS. This is Larpent 51, Alfred the Great. An English Opera. Altered from the Play written by Mr. Mallet and the late Mr. Thomson, a three-act opera by Thomas Arne, who had composed the music for the 1740 performance. Arne's version, which retains all except one of the songs from the 1740 printed text and three from the 1740 transcript, as well as adding new material, was first performed in Dublin in 1744, then at Drury Lane in March 1745, and published by Millar to coincide with the London opening. The Larpent copy lacks the title-page, but appears to be the 1753 printing of the opera. Letters and Library The standard edition of Thomson's correspondence remains James Thomson (1700-48), Letters and Documents, edited by Alan D. McKillop (Lawrence, 1958). This can be updated and supplemented in a few respects. The three letters owned by Robert H. Taylor, Thomson to William Cranstoun, 7 August 1735, Thomson to Mr Paterson, [April? 1748], and Thomson to his sister Jean Thomson, 4 October 1747, have passed to Princeton, Robert H. Taylor Collection. The two letters owned by Ralph M. Williams, Thomson to William Cranstoun, 20 July 1725, and Thomson to [Andrew Millar?], December 1742, are now at Amherst. The two letters from Thomson to George Bubb Dodington, 24 October 1730 and 28 November 1731, formerly in the collection of A.A. Houghton, were auctioned at Christie's, 11-12 June 1980, as Lots 511 and 512 respectively, with a facsimile of the former in the sale catalogue; both were sold to Davids. As noted above some letters by Thomson were formerly among the Dundas of Ochtertyre papers in the

After Thomson's death his household effects, including his books, were auctioned 15-17 May 1749; his former bookseller, Andrew Millar, issued A Catalogue of All the Genuine Household Furniture Plate, China, Prints and Drawings, &c. of Mr. James Thomson, (Author of the Seasons) Deceased, which runs to twenty pages. Formerly scholars referred to the sale catalogue as no longer extant, but a unique copy was discovered in the Mitchell Library, Glasgow, and reported in 'James Thomson's Library', TLS, 20 June 1942, p. 312. A microfile print from the Mitchell Library copy was supplied to Edinburgh University Library, and the catalogue has been published in facsimile in Sale Catalogues of Libraries of Eminent Persons, edited by A.N.L. Munby (London, 1971-3), I, 45-66. The catalogue lists 261 items from Thomson's library, with a request for the return of such books as have been on loan to friends. No

Aikman del.' in a copy of The Seasons (London, 1730) presented by Lord Buchan, MS Df.2.51. But with regard to this last, however, a letter from Sir David Erskine to Laing, 18 June 1828, MS La.IV.6, states that the drawing is by Buchan himself.

books with marginalia have been traced in the course of the present research, however, although a copy of Sir Walter Ralegh's History of the World (London, 1736), signed by Thomson, was offered for sale in Hatfield Catalogue 18 (1983-4). A presentation copy of John Holmes, The Art of Rhetoric Made Easy (London, 1738), given to Thomson by the author, is now in the Bodleian, 3809.1.185. Grant, p. 230, notes that a presentation copy of The Seasons, given to Elizabeth Young by Thomson, was owned by Lady Gordon Cumming until stolen in 1948. A presentation copy of The Seasons (London, 1744) is at Winchester College; it is inscribed 'From the Author' in Thomson's hand, and 'to Joseph Spence/from J. Spence/to JH Lowth Ann: 1766' in the hand of Joseph Spence.

Two further association items are at Harvard: Joseph Dennie's 'A Panegyric upon Thomson, in imitation of the stile of that poet', in Dennie's autograph, bMS Am.715(176); and a sixteen-page life of Thomson by Thomas Campbell, MS Eng. 1140.3.

Miscellaneous A series of documents relating to the sale and assignment of copyright in Thomson's writings can be found in Harvard, pfMS Eng 1123 (1-4): the sale of the assignment of Sophonisba and Spring to Andrew Millar, signed by Thomson and witnessed by Mallet, 16 January 1729, printed in Letters and Documents, pp. 69-70; John Millan's receipt for payment in his sale of the assignment of Britannia, A Poem Sacred to the Memory of Sir Isaac Newton, and The Seasons, 'Spring' excepted, 18 July 1729, printed in Letters and Documents, pp. 63-4; assignment by Jean and Mary Thomson to Andrew Millar of the copyright of Thomson's Coriolanus, Alfred, and some shorter poems, 7-11 February 1750/1, printed in Letters and Documents, p. 213; assignment by John Millan of the copyright in Thomson's works to Andrew Millar, 16 June 1738, printed in Letters and Documents, pp. 120-2. Letters and Documents, pp. 8991, also prints the assignment of the copyright of Liberty to Andrew Millar from the Entry Book of Copies, Stationer's Company; the assignment is dated 16 December 1734, and the entry 9 January 1735. Also at Harvard is a copy of The Seasons (London, 1730), in which is inserted a contract signed by fourteen booksellers, recording the number of copies each has agreed to buy and affirming that they will adhere to the agreed retail price; a facsimile of part of this document has been published in Marks in Books, Illustrated and Explained, introduction by Roger E. Stoddard (Cambridge, MA, 1985), p. 23.

Contemporary European interest in Thomson's poetry is evidenced by a MS translation of 'Spring' into German by Franciscus Antonius von Rothlein, 'Kleiner Versuch des Friihlings aus der prosaischen Beschreibung des Herrn Thomsons in Verse gesetzt', Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek, Vienna, MS Cod. 11.462, ff. 1-2. Besides those mentioned above or in the entries themselves, the following published facsimiles of Thomson's hand may be noted: a letter to Elizabeth Young, 21 January 1743/4, in Grant, facing p. 226; a letter, probably to Paolo Rolli, 30 January 1730, in Letters and Documents, frontispiece; and of the letter to William Cranstoun, 7 August 1735, in Sotheby's Catalogue, 20 July 1954, Lot 469.

and prose for publication. In this he was frustrated by her second husband's nephew and her own adopted heir, Sir John Salusbury Piozzi Salusbury, who kept the MSS at Brynbella, the Welsh home built by the Piozzis. Salusbury even went to the length of legal action to prevent the Williams family of Bodylwddan publishing a selection of the correspondence. Thus the MSS remained in the possession of Sir John Salusbury's descendants at Brynbella for nearly a century. Only a relatively small selection of material found its way into print: in Mangin's Piozziana; and in A.C. Hayward's Autobiography Letters and Remains of Mrs. Piozzi (Thrale), 2 vols (London, 1861). Hayward's collection received little but dispraise from contemporary reviewers, and to help answer some of the criticism, the Rev Augustus Salusbury, Sir John's son, allowed him to include further copious extracts from MS Thraliana in a second edition.

In his Piozziana (London, 1833), pp. 45-6, the Rev Edward Mangin describes a conversation with the ageing Hester Lynch Piozzi. She showed him a heap of pocket-books which she described as 'a diary of mine of more than fifty years of my life', and told him she was thinking of destroying them. Mangin dissuaded her, although it seems doubtful if Mrs Piozzi was expressing more than a passing whimsy. But her description of the contents of the MSS is serious enough: 'I have scarcely omitted any thing which occurred to me during the time I have mentioned; my books contain the conversation of almost every person of almost every class, with whom I have held intercourse; my remarks on what was said; down-right facts, and scandalous on dits; personal portraits, and anecdotes of the characters concerned; criticisms on the publications and authors of the day'. This is indeed a fair description of the scope of Piozzi's journals and travelogues, which between them cover a period of nearly half a century. Recent scholarship sees in her more than the hostess of Samuel Johnson and the recorder of his conversation. She undertook a wide range of literary enterprises, verse, translations, works on world history and etymology, which testify to a productivity lasting from her youth to old age. Not only have MSS relating to all these aspects of her literary career survived; in the case of several works, it is possible to trace their evolution from material entered in a MS journal through drafts to the fair copy used by the printers.

The dispersion of the collection at Brynbella began with a series of sales at Sotheby's, 14 December 1901, 6 December 1904, 22 January, 1907, 4 June 1908, and 30 January 1918. MS Thraliana, which had been auctioned in the 1908 sale only to be bought in by the owner, was secured for the Huntington in 1921. This still left a very large number of MSS at Brynbella, the bulk of which were acquired by the John Rylands Library in 1931 from Mrs R.V. Colman, Sir John Salusbury Piozzi Salusbury's great grand-daughter, and the remainder by the National Library of Wales in 1945. As to the MSS sold between 1901 and 1918, it is possible to chart changes of ownership and location for only a few of the major items.

Provenance The provenance of such a large body of MSS is remarkably straightforward. After Piozzi's death, Sir James Fellowes as her literary executor attempted to honour her wish that he should prepare a selection of her verse

HESTER LYNCH THRALE (LATER PIOZZI) were sold by his family in 1969; the former is now in the collection of Lady Eccles (Dr Mary Hyde), and the latter at Harvard. Of the other MSS now in the Hyde collection, 'Lyford Redivivus', the 'Welsh Journal', and the 'New Commonplace Book', were previously owned by A.E. Newton, and before that, the two latter MSS by A.M. Broadley.

ambitious poems. One poem is not hers, the 'Epigram from Martial— Translated' on p. 83; it is also found in MS Thraliana, where it is attributed to Herbert Lawrence. Select Manuscript Poems on Various Subjects and Several Occasions Autograph, containing fair copies of 22 poems, and a transcript of a poem by Herbert Lawrence, 67 leaves, 2 blank.

Verse The corpus of Piozzi's verse is extremely large and varied. The poems are preserved in different MS sources: firstly in the MSS of prose works such as the early translation of the life of Cervantes, the travelogue Observations and Reflections Made in the Course of a Journey Through France, Italy, and Germany, and that work of amateur philology, British Synonomy; in letters, notably those to Sir James Fellowes, to Edward Mangin, and Penelope Pennington; in journals such as MS Thraliana, the 'New Common Place Book', and MS Piozziana, the literary autobiography-cum-scrapbook written for Sir John Salusbury. A problem common to all these sources is that the authorship of some of the verse is not altogether clear: Piozzi often gives no indication whether a poem is one of her own, or her transcript of one of her friends' compositions; no one MS contains original material or transcripts exclusively; and it is frequently a matter of judgment whether a couplet or short passage has been improvised by Piozzi, or is a quotation from a now forgotten eighteenth-century poem or verse drama.

The other large verse MS at the John Rylands Library is a collection of poems written on disparate single leaves and bifolia of different sizes. It begins with a title page, 'Juvenile Performances', but in fact many poems belonging to Piozzi's later years have been bound together with her juvenilia. Some of the contents are also found not only in Eng. MS 646 above but in MS Thraliana too, and it is possible that many of the poems in MS Thraliana were transcribed from these once loose leaves. A few early pieces of prose can also be found in this MS, notably a draft of The Lamentation of Samoset, a Chief of the Oneydoes', ThH 941. Juvenile Performances

Although Katherine C. Balderston's edition of Thraliana is the first publication of many of the poems, it is not used as a reference edition for the entries in the Verse section. Many of the poems as they appear in MS Thraliana are untitled, and it is not at all clear that the text given there represents Piozzi's final artistic intentions, which it would appear are often best represented by autograph fair copies found in John Rylands Library, Eng. MSS 646-7 and elsewhere. Consequently several poems have been given entries with the titles and first lines taken from these fair copy MSS. Cross-references have been provided to the titles used by Hayward in his anthology of Piozzi's writings, although it seems likely that these are of his own devising and have no authority.

Autograph, containing mainly original verse, but with some transcripts of poems by others, 129 leaves. Contents: ThH 10, 12, 20 22, 32, 41, 45-6, 50, 68, 78, 91-3, 98, 104-6, 110, 112, 122, 126, 135, 138-9, 145, 148-9, 170, 174-5, 186, 190, 194, 202, 212, 217, 223, 225, 232, 234, 236, 242, 249, 255, 259, 295, 299, 305, 315-5, 319, 323, 325-7, 351-2, 356, 363, 370, 376, 395, 399-401, 404, 407, 411, 415, 419, 423, 427, 431, 435, 439, 443, 447, 451, 455, 459, 463, 471, 477, 491-2, 494, 508, 519, 529-31, 534, 540, 544, 548, 558, 562, 566, 568, 575, 583, 592, 595, 601, 608, 610, 613, 641-2, 646, 649, 661, 664-5, 670, 680, 733, 742, 769, 789, 799, 803, 814-17, 819, 821, 841-2, 852-3, 856, 864, 870-1, 877, 882, 887, 891, 940-1.

Four large MSS consist exclusively of verse. Two of these, formerly owned by Dr A.S.W. Rosenbach, and now by Lady Eccles, have not been available for examination in the present enquiry. The other two are now at the John Rylands Library. One of these consists entirely of fair copies, written on the rectos only, and was evidently intended as a selection of Piozzi's best and most

It will be convenient to mention at this point another MS in the John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 656, which contains only two poems by Piozzi herself, ThH 5 and 69. Otherwise it consists entirely of poems by her friends and literary associates, either as sent to her or as transcribed in her hand. Although no sustained attempt has been made to identify the other hands, it may be noted that three of them appear to be those of William Parsons, Bertie Greatheed, and the latter's wife Ann. One suspects that this MS was also a source for the verse found in MS Thraliana, and which in turn appears in MS Piozziana. The contents are listed here, the number again taken from the guard-book leaf. 1.

Prose Here also, MSS survive from virtually every stage of the literary career. Encouraged by her admiring family and her tutor, Dr Arthur Collier, the young Hester Lynch Salusbury's precocity is demonstrated by such projects as the translation of The Life of Cervantes' already mentioned, ThH 943, but also fragments of a translation of Don Quixote itself, ThH 1024. Another of these early MS translations from Spanish, 'Dissertation on the God Endovellicus', an account of an early Iberian deity, ThH 928, carries an interesting comment inscribed years afterwards by Thrale herself: This was a strange thing for a Chi Id to do'. A particularly important MS for the prose is the collection of drafts and fragments now bound together as John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 629. It contains widely disparate material, evidently written at different times: two short dramatic fragments, ThH 899-900; miscellaneous memoranda, ThH 955-64; lists of books, letters, poems, plays, and paintings, ThH 945-52; notes on the Bible and on ecclesiastical history, even astrology, ThH 972-3 and 979. More interesting, however, are those items which reflect Piozzi's preoccupations in her later years. Some notes on the spelling-forms and etymology of the names Elmina and Elvira, ThH 978, look forward to the late work on the etymology of Christian names, 'Lyford Redivivus'; and ThH 1004 is a draft of an open letter written in answer to hostile reviews of Piozzi's historical work, Retrospection. 'Fragment of a Scene near Naples', is a melodramatic episode composed after a wager laid among her literary friends during her stay in Italy, ThH 941. A fair copy of the fragment, ThH 942, was copied into Piozziana, II, nearly twenty years afterwards.

Even more important, perhaps, are three items at the beginning of the MS, ThH 1081-3, which have been conjecturally identified as the surviving leaves of a journal used to record the sayings and biographical anecdotes of Samuel Johnson. Clifford, p. 123, draws attention to an entry in James Bos well's diary for 8 April

127

HESTER LYNCH THRALE (LATER PIOZZI) 1775 recording that he has just heard of such a journal being kept in the Thrale household, and expressing a wish to get his hands upon it for his own purposes. This conjectural '[Journal of Johnsonian Anecdotes]' must predate the compilation of Johnsonian material in the first two volumes of MS Thraliana. Clifford sugggests that Thrale transcribed the contents of this early journal into MS Thraliana, gradually destroying the former as she did so. Likewise two other items in Eng. MS 629, which together form an account of the suicide of Charles Yorke, Chancellor of the Exchequer, ThH 1084, may have belonged originally to an early '[Journal of Miscellaneous Anecdotes]' which was also destroyed after most of its contents had been transcribed elsewhere, probably into MS Thraliana.

copy of Retrospection are also extant, ThH 1006 and 1008-14; but it is evident that some of the assorted material in the commonplace book 'Minced Meat for Pyes' was collected for Retrospection; in fact this commonplace book may have been begun particularly with this end in view. For a detailed description of 'Minced Meat for Pyes', see below. Piozzi's last major literary enterprise was the still unpublished 'Lyford Redivivus or A Grandam's Garrulity'. It was intended to replace as a reference work Lyford's Etymology of Christian Names (London, 1665). According to Clifford, p. 436, a first draft was offered to a publisher in the summer of 1814, but his coolness led Piozzi to rewrite the work. The MSS of both these versions, ThH 953-4, are now in the collection of Lady Eccles. The revised version was seen early in January 1815 by Edward Mangin, who offered to find a publisher, but with no better success. Probably the publishers had been warned off by the severely adverse reviews of British Synonomy and Retrospection, both of which had been criticised for their highly personal, inconsequential style and for frankly questionable etymological and philological theories.

Two further short fragments in John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 629, relate to the published Anecdotes; one is an autograph note apparently intended for the second edition, ThH 909; the other consists of notes upon and extracts from the printed text, in an unidentified hand, ThH 912. Anecdotes was begun in Italy, where Piozzi received the news of Johnson's death, and although hampered by the lack of Johnson's letters and other papers left in London, she had taken abroad with her MS Thraliana, and was able to draw upon the first two volumes as a source of material. An autograph fair copy of Anecdotes is in the Pierpont Morgan, ThH 908, but it is agreed by scholars that this cannot be the MS despatched to the publishers from Italy, because it lacks the usual markings of printer's copy.

Hester Lynch Piozzi's Edition of Samuel Johnson's Letters Following the success of Anecdotes, Piozzi began to collect materials for Letters to and from the Late Samuel Johnson, LL.D. (1788). The original MSS of Johnson's letters to her, which were apparently used as printer's copy, are now widely dispersed by sale; so too are the MSS of his letters to Hill Boothby and to Francesco Sastres. But fortunately other MS materials relating to this edition can be found together in the John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 583. This includes draft passages of the Preface, ThH 1028-30, the afterword, ThH 1033-4, 1036-8, and texts of all but one of Thrale's letters to Johnson which were included in the edition. Other items are her transcript of the Latin poem, 'Verses addressed to Dr Lawrence, composed by Dr Johnson, as he lay confined with an inflamed Eye', together with her own translation beginning 'Condemn'd to shun bright Sol's reviving ray'; the former has been given an entry on the grounds that it constitutes a source document for the edition, ThH 1039, and the latter has been listed in the Verse section, ThH 688. The transcript in Thrale's hand of an elegy on Hill Boothby composed by her nephew Sir Brooke Boothby the younger, and made available by him for this edition, has also been given an entry as as a source document, ThH 1035. Johnson, Letters (1788) published for the first time translations of five verse

An analogous relationship exists between Piozzi's later travel book, Observations, and the two journals which she kept during this same period abroad. As well as keeping up entries in MS Thraliana, she recorded experiences specifically related to the Piozzis' travels in the 'Italian Journey 1784', ThH 1080, and the 'German Journey 1786', ThH 1079. Some further comment will be made on these two travelogues below. What is relevant to the immediate discussion is that their contents were rewritten as the draft of Observations in seven folio notebooks, ThH 981-7, which now form John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 619. From these in turn was made the autograph fair copy sent to the printer, ThH 988-90. Both Piozzi's corrections and the marks made by the printer in casting off appear throughout its three large volumes, which are now John Rylands Library, Eng. MSS 620-2. Of Piozzi's subsequent works, British Synonomy and Retrospection, the autograph fair copies as sent to the printer are also both extant, ThH 918-9 and 1015-6 respectively. Successive drafts and an earlier revised fair

128

HESTER LYNCH THRALE (LATER PIOZZI) four seemed to him to be authentic, and the others to be rewritten and conflated texts made by Piozzi in the course of editing. Consequently only these four of the Thrale letters from Johnson, Letters (1788) were included in his pointedly titled edition of The Letters of Samuel Johnson with Mrs Thrale's Genuine Letters to Him, 3 vols (Oxford, 1952); see therein Appendix E, The Text and its Sources. The Letters in 1788', III, 323-4. The new Hyde Edition of The Letters of Samuel Johnson, edited by Bruce Redford, 5 vols (Oxford, 1992-4), endorses Chapman's distrust of Piozzi's editing, but has the advantage of being able to print a further 42 letters from MSS recovered since rather than Letters (1788).

metres from the De Consolatione Philosophies of Boethius, the joint compositions of Johnson and Thrale, and MSS of these are also listed in the Verse section. Four of the collaborative translations can be found in John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 538, ThH 695-6, 701-8, 712-16, together with some other poems from the De Consolatione Philosophic translated entirely by Thrale, albeit at Johnson's encouragement, ThH 690 -4,697-700, 709-11. Thrale's transcripts of three translations made by Johnson alone, also in Eng. MS 538, have been given entries as source documents, ThH 1041-3. Another set of MSS of the Boethius translations is reportedly owned by Lady Eccles (see Four Oaks Library, p. 206); this may be the same set which was mentioned by Clifford, p. 58n, as in the possession of Mr L. Fleming, Bognor Regis.

Diaries and Notebooks The earliest of Mrs Thrale's journals which has survived entire is 'The Children's Book, or rather Family Book', ThH 1046, now in the collection of Lady Eccles, and edited by her in The Thrales of Streatham Park (Cambridge, MA, 1977), pp. 21-218. This octavo MS of 94 leaves was begun 17 September 1766 and continued until the close of 1778. It is very much a record of the domestic life of the Thrales, containing an emotional and often painful account of Thrale's frequent pregnancies, the illnesses of her children, and the deaths of eight of her children before even attaining youth.

All the collaborative translations in Eng. MS 538 are in Thrale's hand throughout, with Johnson's share indicated by underlining. Only the MS of 'Book III Metre 3', ThH 704 is actually in both their hands. This is bound into a copy of Johnson, Letters (1788) originally owned by Samuel Lysons, and now at Dr Johnson's House, London. This copy is of great interest in that is an apparently unique example of the uncancelled state, and shows that it was originally intended to include Thrale's Boethius translations as well as those written in collaboration; their cancellation was very likely to make the edition more exclusively Johnsonian. Also six additional letters from Johnson to the Thrales which appear in this copy, were subsequently cancelled.

Also owned by Lady Eccles is the 'Welsh Journal', ThH 1090, which records a tour undertaken by the Thrales and their eldest daughter 'Queeney' in company with Samuel Johnson, commencing 5 July and concluding 30 September 1774. The quarto MS of 48 leaves was purchased by Quaritch in the Sotheby's sale of 4 June 1908, and subsequently sold to A.M. Broadley, who published it in his Doctor Johnson and Mrs. Thrale (London, 1910). Clifford, p. 114n, remarks that 'comparison with the original manuscript... shows that Broadley's editing is not entirely trustworthy'. The MS includes the text of one poem, beginning 'To Shenstone in his grot retired', ThH 671. The same party, with the addition of Queeney's Italian tutor, Giuseppe Baretti, made a trip to France the following year, and once again Thrale kept a journal, ThH 1078. This 'French Journal', a quarto MS of 74 leaves, which covers the period 15 September to 11 November 1775, is now in the John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 617. It contains a transcript in Thrale's hand of Samuel Johnson's 'French Distichs', listed in his section as JoS 16.

Piozzi's editing has been discussed in two articles by R.W. Chapman. In 'Mrs Piozzi's Omissions from Johnson's Letters to Thrales', RES, 22 (1946), 17-28, he notes that Piozzi had access to some 85 letters from Johnson which were not used, including the six set up but later cancelled. Two important omissions are an undated letter in French, clearly written by Johnson in an overwrought state of mind, and his notorious first letter to Mrs Thrale on her remarriage, 2 July 1784. Tact and decorum also account for the suppression of some passages in the published texts, and Chapman also notes that Piozzi cut Johnson's praise of Bos well from a letter of 19 June 1775. Although comparison with extant MSS shows that Piozzi is not completely trustworthy, Chapman accepts the likely authenticity of her texts of those Johnson letters for which no MS survives. On the other hand, in his later 'Mrs. Thrale's Letters to Johnson Published by Mrs Piozzi in 1788', RES, 24 (1948), 5861, Chapman called into question the genuineness of Thrale's letters to Johnson as published in 1788. Of the MS letters in John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 538, only

MS Thra liana It has already been explained that a few of the fragments in John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 629, may be the

remains of two journals begun before 1770: a journal of miscellaneous anecdotes and a journal of Johnsonian anecdotes. These appear to have been superceded by MS Thraliana, the commonplace book and diary which Thrale kept for over 32 years. According to the now familiar account in the first entry of 15 September 1776, Henry Thrale presented his wife with six quarto notebooks as a repository for fugitive verse, observations, and anecdotes, which was to be given 'the pompous title of Thraliana'. When she concluded the sixth volume on 30 March 1809, the diarist would remark that her first husband's gift ended with her recording the death of her second, Gabriel Piozzi.

derive very probably from printed sources, and their variant readings can be accounted for simply by inaccurate transcription or quotation from memory. There are two important exceptions, however. Thrale's transcript of 'The first Copy of Pope's Universal Prayer', entered in MS Thraliana, 1 September 1779, includes variant stanzas accepted as authentic in the Twickenham edition, despite the scepticism of the previous generation of editors, Elwin and Courthope; it is listed in the Pope section, PoA 341. Also her transcript of Gray's song, Thyrsis, when we parted, swore' predates the first publication of the poem by seven months. Its variant readings include the first line 'Thyrsis when he left me swore', and Mrs Piozzi records that she came by the poem through Gray's friend Norton Nicholls. It is collated in The Poems of Thomas Gray, William Collins, and Oliver Goldsmith, edited by Roger Lonsdale (London, 1968), pp. 242-3, and is listed in the Gray section, GrT 131. Whether consciously or unconsciously, the poem clearly influenced what appears to be Piozzi's own composition, 'Thyrsis vow'd he would be here', which is found in 'Minced Meat for Pyes' and in MS Piozziana, ThH 627-8.

Most of MS Thraliana, I, and a substantial part of II, are taken up with anecdotes and recorded sayings of Samuel Johnson. Much of this material is entered undated, and may have been transcribed from the earlier collection of Johnsonian anecdotes. Clifford has suggested that Thrale gradually destroyed the early journals as she copied their contents into MS Thraliana, which in its turn became a source for Anecdotes. As well as Johnsonian anecdotes, MS Thraliana is a source for poetry, both Thrale's own and her transcripts of others' verse, including some important poems by Johnson, but also other literary friends such as Herbert Lawrence, Charles Burney, William Parsons, and Robert Merry. As regards Thrale's own poems, it should be remarked that their date of entry does not necessarily reflect their date of composition. Some poems were indeed entered within a few days of being composed, but others are assigned a date, either in MS Thraliana itself or in another MS such as 'Juvenile Performances', which shows that they predate their entry in MS Thraliana sometimes by as many as fifteen years. In fact as already remarked, it seems likely that Thrale transcribed many of the poems in MS Thraliana from the bundles now bound together as John Rylands Library, Eng. MSS 647 and 656.

The poems noted below are either the originals of poems which Thrale translated, or are poems by her immediate friends. Although some of the latter, James Beattie, or the 'Delia Cruscans' Robert Merry and William Parsons, are writers of distinctly minor gift, their verse does have a genuine period interest; and the transcripts of poems by Samuel Johnson are of exceptional textual importance.

Much of the verse scattered throughout MS Thraliana consists of quotations from Thrale's wide reading in English poetry and drama. Extracts from Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, and Dryden appear frequently, and among the authors of her own century, from Gray, Matthew Green, Pope (the translation of Homer, An Essay on Man, An Essay on Criticism, 'Eloisa to Abelard', Moral Essays, the epistles to Robert, Earl of Oxford, 'To Augustus', and 'To Dr Arbuthnot', The Dunciad), Prior (especially 'Alma'), Swift (especially 'Cadenus and Vanessa' and Verses on the Death of Dr. Swift), Thomson, Young, and the writers of the so-called 'she-tragedies', Southerne and Rowe.

The MS now contains 113 leaves, but many of these are insertions, mostly tipped-in but in a few cases loose; only ff. 15, 17, 34-6, 39-40, 50, 52, 53, 55-65, 68, 72-7, 86, 108-10, and 110, properly belong to the actual notebook. Often the notes and anecdotes are separated by rules drawn across the page, but not invariably so; and many items, including some of the poems, are written reversed or longitudinally. On occasion parts of the same item are separated because further insertions have been made within the centrefold of an inserted bifolium. Two short poems are written on slips of pink paper pasted on to the outside covers. A few of the inserted items are written in other hands: two poems in the hand of Susanna Thrale; a note on the books of the Bible, dated 1833 and initialed 'J.S.P.S.' (i.e. John Salusbury Piozzi Salusbury).

Huntington, HM 12183. It would appear to have been Thrale's practice throughout her life to keep different journals simultaneously for different purposes. Thus she continued to use the 'Children's Book' as a domestic record for several years following the commencement of the primarily literary MS Thraliana. Similarly on her extended European tour with her second husband in 1784, Mrs Piozzi as she was by then, took MS Thraliana with her and continued intermittently to make entries of a personal and literary character. But she also kept two travelogues, first the 'Italian Journey', ThH 1080, which actually begins with the couple's passage through France, and the 'German Journal', ThH 1079, written as they made their way back to England.

No later than 1796, with MS Thraliana still continuing, Mrs Piozzi began to use the notebook entitled 'Minced Meat for Pyes'. The title indicates that this was intended as a scrap-book of notes, observations, anecdotes, and verses, which could be drawn upon in future literary exercises. One might compare the etymology of 'farce', from the Italian 'farsa' a sausage. The original intention was apparently to gather material for Retrospection: some of the notes can be related to that work, sometimes cancelled as they were transcribed into the MS; also the title 'Retrospection' appears on the front inside cover, although now surrounded by notes added later; and the 'Hints for Preface' has been identified as draft sentences for the preface to Retrospection as published. Other notes are concerned with numerology and etymology, both prominent among Piozzi's special interests in her later years; and some poems, both her own and by others, are included.

Harvard, MS Eng. 231. Piozzi continued to make entries in 'Minced Meat for Pyes' until March 1820, the date subscribed to the poem To a Lady with a Broach Representing a Hand bearing a Heart set round with Brilliants'. But in 1809, the year in which MS Thraliana was concluded, she began the 'New Common Place Book', ThH 1087, which she also used, somewhat intermittently, until 1820. This MS is now owned by Lady Eccles, quoted in her The Impossible Friendship, pp. 118-19, and extensively throughout the later chapters of Clifford. The fullest published description, however, is that given by one of its previous owners, A.M. Broadley. According to his account, it contains a note to the effect that it was begun at Brynbella and continued at New King Street, Bath, 1815; it has a motto, 'Studium sine calamo somnium'; and the last

entry is dated Penzance, 16 November 1820 (Broadley, p. 303). Substantial extracts are printed in Broadley as appendices: the poem 'Lines on Bodfel Hall, the Birthplace of Mrs Piozzi', ThH 312, Appendix D, pp. 278-9; Appendix H, p. 291; and on the sale of the Reynolds portraits from Streatham Park, headed 'Johnson' in the MS, including two short pieces of verse, probably quotations, Appendix J, pp. 299-300. Pasted into the MS are congratulatory letters received on the occasion of Piozzi's eightieth birthday ball, and it also contains poems upon the same event written by George Canning, Dr Whalley, and others. Broadley prints the following:

and sequential. The contents of Vol. IV on the other hand, simply entitled 'Piozziana', resemble and on occasion duplicate those of 'Minced Meat for Pyes', even if much more neatly written: notes on Welsh and Hebrew etymology; Biblical numerology; literary anecdotes; examples of society repartee; and of course verse. As in 'Minced Meat for Pyes' the observations and anecdotes are separated by rules. This volume concludes with a transcript of a letter to Salusbury, 9 July 1813, explaining the complicated history of her first husband's and her own wills, the mortgages on the Welsh properties, and the consequent legal wranglings; two postscripts concern her latest will in Salusbury's favour. Vol. V, entitled 'Scrap & Trifle Book' and dated '8th: September 1813' contains journal entries interspersed with verse; the notebook is only partly filled, and concludes 'but 'tis all over now. 2: May 1814'. In Vol. I, 33 and 35 have been omitted accidentally from the pagination, and Vol. II, 14-15, and Vol. Ill, 121-4, have been excised, but the text is apparently continuous.

Meanwhile Piozzi had begun the series of five quarto notebooks now usually known as 'Piozziana', or as in Clifford, 'Mainwaring Piozziana', from its sometime owner, Sir Randle Mainwaring. The first three volumes form a literary autobiography written for John Salusbury Piozzi Salusbury, and are variously entitled 'Poems on Several Occasions' and 'Poems & Little Characters— Anecdotes &c. Introductory to the Poems' (Vol. I), 'Poems on several Occasions with Introductory Anecdotes &c.' (Vol. II), and 'Poems on several Occasions with Anecdotes &c. Introductory to the Poems' (Vol. III). As well as shorter poems, the latter includes a fair copy of 'The Two Fountains', ThH 903, Piozzi's dramatic version of Johnson's prose tale, 'The Fountains'. The volume titles give an accurate idea of the contents in that the autobiographical prose narrative serves mainly to link the numerous poems, giving the occasion of each. Since it begins with Piozzi's earliest efforts, she must have drawn upon earlier MSS. MS Thraliana was surely an important source, because there is considerable duplication of material and episode, although the narrative of MS Piozziana is more formal

HESTER LYNCH THRALE (LATER PIOZZI) dents to preserve and return her letters. But until recently only selective portions of her correspondence had found their way into print. Mangin quoted liberally from her letters to him in Piozziana. Her letters to Sarah Siddons were published in T. Campbell's Life of Mrs. Siddons, 2 vols (London, 1834), and those to Fanny Burney in Dairy and Letters of Madame D'Arblay, edited by C. Barrett (London, 1842). Some 44 letters to Samuel Lysons were published in Bentley's Miscellany, 28 (1850), 73-82, 163-71, 307-15, 438-47, 535-43, 620-8; and nine letters to Thomas Cadell in the Gentleman's Magazine, n.s., 37 (1852), 135-7, 232-3. Journals and Correspondence of Thomas Sedgewick Whalley, D.D., edited by Hill Wickham, 2 vols (London, 1863) included 35 letters from Piozzi. Other letters were published in Hayward, in M.A. Ellis, 'Some Unedited Letters of Mrs. Thrale', Fortnightly Review, n.s., no. 440, August 1903, pp. 268-76, in Constance Hill's book on the Burney family, The House in St. Martin's Street (London, 1907), and in Broadley. Her letters to Penelope Pennington were edited by Oswald G. Knapp as The Intimate Letters of Hester Piozzi and Penelope Pennington 1788-1821 (London, 1914), but it is now apparent that passages were silently excised and many letters were passed over. The most controversial selection of Piozzi's correspondence has undoubtedly been Love Letters of Mrs. Piozzi, Written When She Was Eighty to William Augustus Conway (London, 1843). It is now fairly well accepted that these letters are genuine, some of them being still extant; but as for the alleged infatuation, they reveal only the emotionalism which the elderly often permit themselves when writing to the very young.

for them by Samuel Johnson. The second was at her new Welsh home of Bynbella. As regards this second collection, a large notebook, now John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 612, contains a 'Catalogue of Books at Brynbella, 18th Oct., 1806' in Piozzi's own hand. It also records additions to the Brynbella library up to 1813. Financial difficulties with the upkeep of Streatham Park, obliged her to sell its library in 1816, together with the paintings and furniture. A catalogue was issued as A Catalogue of the Valuable and Extensive Library, at Streatham Park, Surrey, Principally Formed under the Direction of the Celebrated Dr. Johnson... and Which Will be Sold by Auction... the Eighth of May, 1816 (London, 1816). Although he retained possession of his aunt's MSS, Sir John Salusbury Piozzi Salusbury sold off her library and other effects within a few years of her death. The sale took place 17-24 September 1823 and a catalogue was issued as Collectanea Johnsoniana. Catalogue of the Library, Pictures, Prints, Coins, Plate, China, and other Valuable Curiosities, the Property of Mrs. Hester Lynch Piozzi, Deceased, to be Sold by Auction, at the Emporium Rooms, Exchange Street, Manchester, by Mr. Broster, on Wednesday, the 17th instant, and Following Days, Saturday and Sunday Excepted (Chester, 1823). Clifford notes that nearly one hundred items are described as containing Piozzi's marginalia. Of those whose location is currently known, the majority are in either the Rothschild Collection at Trinity College, Cambridge, or in the collection of Lady Eccles. A number of association copies may be recorded here. A copy of Samuel Johnson's Rasselas, given to Gabriel Piozzi by Mrs Thrale at their parting on 10 June 1781, is now owned by Lady Eccles; a facsimile of the presentation inscription, and a subsequent inscription to John Piozzi Salusbury, 1 August 1809, has been published in A.E. Newton, The Amenities of Book-Collecting and Kindred Affections (London, 1920), p. 207. Also in the Hyde collection are Mrs Piozzi's copy of Samuel Johnson's Dictionary of the English Language, 2 vols (London, 1755), and a copy of Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy from the library at Streatham Park. A copy of Baconiana or Certain Genuine Remains of Sir Francis Bacon (London, 1864), inscribed inside the front cover 'Bought of Upham Bath 1814. H:L:P.', is in the Francis Bacon Library, Claremont. A copy of Johnson, Letters (1788), presented by Piozzi to Anna Seward, is now at the Johnson Birthplace Museum.

Later selections have been more satisfactory. C. Hughes, 'Mrs Piozzi and Her Heir: Some Unpublished Letters', Athenaeum, no. 4602, February 1916, pp. 63-5, published selections from a few letters to John Salusbury Piozzi Salusbury. The Queeney Letters, edited by the Marquis of Lansdowne (London, 1934) printed Piozzi's correspondence with her eldest daughter, Hester Maria Thrale, as well as the latter's correspondence with Samuel Johnson, and, much of it on the subject of her mother, with Fanny Burney. Some 20 letters from Samuel Johnson to Thrale not included in Johnson, Letters (1788), were published from John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 543, in J.D. Wright, 'Some Unpublished Letters to and from Dr Johnson', BJRL, 16 (1932), 32-76. B.C. Charles, 'Peggy Owen and Her Streatham Friends', Cornhill Magazine, 160 (1939), 334-51, includes letters from Piozzi to Miss Owen. Much of the correspondence of the Thrales with James Bos well, which predates 1784, has been published in Mary Hyde's The Impossible Friendship, which includes

Bloom, 8 vols in progress (Newark, 1989—). To date three volumes have been published. As its title indicates, this edition concentrates on the correspondence from the time of Thrale's marriage to Gabriel Piozzi in 1784 onwards. It was subsequent to her remarriage that she emerged as an independent author and literary personality. The edition does not claim absolute completeness of extant letters from the specified period: notes to tradesmen, and social invitations together with simple letters of acceptance or apology, have sensibly been omitted; likewise letters the contents of which are largely repeated elsewhere; and some letters still in private hands have been withheld from publication. On the other hand, the editors have included the other side of the correspondence, and in their own words have 'represented everyone to whom Mrs Piozzi wrote'. The largest collections of letters are at Princeton and the John Rylands Library. The latter's holdings consist of the following: Eng. MS 534, letters from Dr Arthur Collier to Hester Lynch Salusbury, 1759-63 Eng. MS 535, letters from Herbert Lawrence to Hester Lynch Salusbury, later Mrs Thrale, 1762-88 Eng. MS 536, letters from various correspondents to Hester Lynch Salusbury, later Mrs Thrale, and Henry Thrale, c. 1762-1813 Eng. MSS 539-40, letters from Hester Lynch Thrale to Samuel Johnson, 1771-84 Eng. MS 541, letters from Giuseppe Baretti to Hester Lynch Thrale, some with notes in Italian to Hester Maria Thrale added, 1773-6 Eng. MS 542, letters from James Boswell to Hester Lynch Thrale, Henry Thrale, and to J. Collet, 177381 Eng. MS 543, letters from Samuel Johnson to Hester 'Lynch Thrale, 1773-83 Eng.

The most recent addition to the John Rylands Library's holdings of Piozzi letters have been those to the Williams family. These had passed by inheritance to the same Sir Randle Mainwaring who purchased MS Piozziana and 'The Children's Book', and were sold at Sotheby's, 29 October 1975, Lot 206. They are arranged as follows: Vol. A, letters to Mrs and Lady Williams, 1796-1802 Vol. B, letters to Lady Williams, 1802-6 Vol. C, letters to Lady Williams, 1807-11 Vol. D, letters to Lady Williams, 1812-18 Vol. E, letters to Lady Williams, undated Vol. F, letters to Miss Williams, 1800-8 Vol. G, letters to Miss Williams, 1808-12 Vol. H, letters to Miss Williams, 1813-15 Vol. I, letters to Miss Williams, 1816-19 Vol. J, letters to Miss Williams, 1820-1 Vol. K, letters to John Williams, 1813-21 Princeton's holdings of Piozzi include a disbound copy of Knapp,! extra-illustrated with 198 of her autograph letters to Penelope Pennington, together with letters from Mrs Pennington and others, prints, portraits, and verse including ThH 49, 51, 74, 79, 117, 163, 167, 169, 182, 288, 300, 350, 406, 487, 545, 549, 630, 667, 732, 760, 785, 866. The six volumes are unfoliated, but the contents are arranged in approximately chronological order. The set was sold by Anderson Galleries, 15-16 February 1926 (R.B. Adam Sale), Lot 283, and is now Princeton, AM 14613. Some 95 autograph letters to Edward Mangin, together with several pieces of verse, are now Princeton, AM 14615. Other Piozzi correspondence at Princeton includes eighteen letters and three notes to Sir James Fellowes and others, AM 14675, and seven letters to Robert Ray. A letter to Piozzi from Sarah Siddons, 1815, is at Princeton, Theatre Division. A fragment of a letter to Samuel Johnson together with a letter from him to Mrs Thrale, letters to 'Major Barry', to Thomas Sedgwick Whalley, a note to Fanny Burney, and seven other autograph letters, are all at Princeton, Robert H. Taylor Collection. Further letters are found at the following: Bath Public Library; Berg; the collection of Lawrence G.

ile is published in The Impossible Friendship, facing p. 45. Another transcript of this poem in an unidentified hand, but made for Thrale, is in John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 543/27, listed in the Johnson section, JoS 46. Some 20 pages of the MS of Samuel Johnson's 'Pope' from the Lives of the English Poets, now at the Pierpont Morgan, MA 205, are written in the hands of Thrale and George Steevens; see the Johnson section, JoS 224. Clifford, pp. 196-7, states incorrectly that the entire MS is in her hand. The proofs of the 'Life of Pope', owned by Lady Eccles, have corrections some which may be in Thrale's hand, together with those of John Nichols and Johnson himself; see the Johnson section, JoS 225.

Details of recent sales of Piozzi letters were given in Edward and Lillian Bloom, and Joan E. Klingel, 'Portrait of a Georgian Lady: The Letters of Hester Lynch (Thrale) Piozzi, 1784-1821', BJRL, 60 (1978), 303-38. The following subsequent sales may be noted here: a letter to Fanny Burney, 10 July 1784, Phillips (New York), Autumn 1982, sold to Stonehill, reported in TLS, 12 November 1982, p. 1255; a letter to the Rev Reynold Davies, 5 April 1799, including a French epigram with translation, and a letter to Alfred Brown, 20 October 1820, Sotheby's, 6 December 1984, Lots 59 and 60 respectively, both sold to Quaritch; an autograph letter to Mr and the Misses Cleaver, 22 July [1812], sold at Christie's (New York), 18 October 1988, Lot 1542, to Princeton Rare Books; a letter to Charlotte Lewis, 8 December 1790, Christie's (New York), 18 November 1988 (Fleming Sale), Lot 278; a letter to an unnamed recipient, 15 November 1773, sold at Sotheby's, 14 December 1989, Lot 15, to Quaritch; a visiting card left with David Garrick, Phillips, 19 March 1992, Lot 62; a letter to an unnamed recipient, 10 February 1820, Phillips, 12 November 1992, Lot 132; two letters to Harriet Lee, 6 July 1799 and undated, Phillips, 18 March 1993, Lots 73-4; a letter to Sir James Fellowes, December 1815, Freeman/Fine Arts, 16 December 1993, Lot 61; a letter to an unnamed recipient, 10 January 1801, Hanzel Galleries, 11 February 1994, Lot 275; three letters to Fanny Burney, [June 1780?], December 1780, and 13 February 1782, Christie's, 29 June 1995, Lot 376, with facsimile.

Thrale's transcript of the Spanish text of a 'Sonata di Lope di Vega', and of an English version, 'Imitated by Mr. Roderick', are at Boston Public Library, MS Ch.H.1.13. William Upcott's extra-illustrated copy of BoswelFs Life of Samuel Johnson, LL.D., edited by John Wilson Croker (London, 1831), containing her transcripts of rival verses by David Garrick and Arthur Murphy, Vol. Ill, Part 2, frontispiece, was auctioned at Sotheby's, 25 March 1974, Lot 176, sold to Owen. Details of some non-literary items in John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 629, may be given here: 54. [List of poultry] Autograph, headed 'Left at Brynbella 16Novr. 1802'. 51. [List of recipients of gifts, probably books] Autograph, beginning '8 to Mr James', with a note 'Remains one for Mr Cator to give away'. Fragment of Italian prose 'Evviva la cara Venezia!', written longitudinally on the verso. 53. [List of Christmas gifts] Autograph, beginning 'Alsager— a Pine & a Card'. 56. Colebrooke Deale Porcelain. Autograph, list of porcelain crockery, 174 pieces priced. Over 330 deeds, grants, conveyances, rentals, wills, bonds, and other documents relating to the Salusbury family, the earliest dating from 1490, are at the John Rylands Library. Many have been endorsed in the hand of Samuel Johnson, which leads Clifford to suggest that he may have been helping Thrale investigate her family history.

Miscellaneous Several MSS related to Thrale's literary association with Samuel Johnson have still to be mentioned. A transcript of Johnson's translation of Boethius, De Consolatione Philosophies, Book II, Metre 2, in her hand but with his autograph corrections, is now in the collection of Lady Eccles; it is listed in the Johnson section, JoS 132. Also in Lady Eccles's collection is Thrale's transcript of the Latin 'Ode addressed to Mrs. Thrale', here entitled 'Ode from Skie by Dr: Sam: Johnson' and annotated by James Bos well, listed in the Johnson section, JoS 43; a facsim-

Eight small notebooks which contain journals kept by Thrale's father, John Salusbury, during his sojourn in Nova Scotia attempting unsuccessfully to retrieve his fortunes, are now John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 615. Many passages have been underlined in red, and some notes in the hand of Samuel Johnson have been inscribed on the outsides. Clifford, p. 17n, suggests that Thrale contemplated publication of excerpts, and that

144

HESTER LYNCH THRALE (LATER PIOZZI) ball, given to a Mr Chaplin, is in Adam Library, III, facing 241. Other facsimiles in Adam Library are a letter to the auctioneer Mr Squibb, 5 May 1816, III, between 240-1, a letter to Thomas Sedgwick Whalley, 6 March 1784, I, facing 240, and the latter again, III, between 239-40. There are two facsimiles in Johnson and Queeney: Letters from Dr Johnson to Queeney Thrale from the Bowood Papers, edited with an Introduction by the Marquis of Lansdowne (Privately printed, 1932): an entry from the Thrale family Bible, recording the marriage of Henry Thrale and Hester Lynch Salusbury, the births of their twelve children, and the deaths of seven, facing p. xiv; a covenant for Queeney's future good behaviour drawn up in the hand of her tutor, Giuseppe Baretti, signed by Queeney, and witnessed by her mother and Johnson, dated 8 December 1774, facing p. 6. The Tenbury Letters, selected and edited by Edmund H. Fellowes and Edward Pine (London, 1942), contains a facsimile of a letter from Mrs Piozzi to Lady Wynne, 'Longest day' (i.e. 24 June) 1818, [p. 229]. A facsimile of a card from Henry and Hester Lynch Thrale to Boswell, inscribed by the latter, 'First Card from the Thrale Family 30. Septr. 1769', has been published in The Impossible Friendship, facing p. 16. A facsimile of a letter to Charles Burney, 2 August 1784, was published in 'The Converse of the Pen: Letter Writing in the Age of Johnson. Catalogue of an Exhibition', YULG, 59 (1984), 59. A facsimile of a letter to Fanny Burney, 25 July 1784, on the occasion of Thrale's remarriage, is published in Piozzi Letters, I, 97.

Johnson assisted her with the possible selection. John Salisbury's letters to his wife are in John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 530. The marriage settlement between Henry Thrale and Hester Lynch Salusbury is in the British Library, Add. Ch. 74318. A letter of administration, taken out by Thrale upon her mother's death, dated 12 August 1773 and endorsed by Samuel Johnson, is now at Columbia University, Clifford Collection. A photostatic copy of the settlement of the estate of Bach-y-Graig, 5 September 1775, is at the National Library of Wales. A MS volume, 'Accounts of the Estate of Henry Thrale, also Guardian Accounts with the four Thrale Daughters', is now in the collection of Lady Eccles. Also now owned by Lady Eccles are an autograph memorandum concerning the price and order for Anecdotes, 25 March 1786, and a receipt signed by both Gabriel and Hester Lynch Piozzi, 10 April 1794, for the sale of the copyright of British Synonomy for £300. Giuseppe Baretti's annotated copy of Johnson, Letters (1788) is now in the British Library. Baretti's annotations were transcribed by George Steevens into his own copy, formerly owned by A.E. Newton, and now by Lady Eccles. Baretti's expenses for the trip to France in 1775 are now at Columbia University, Clifford Collection. A bond signed by Gabriel Piozzi affirming that there is no legal bar to his marriage with Mrs Thrale, signed before the Bishop of Bath and Wells, 8 July 1784, is at Columbia University, Clifford Collection. Also now at the same location is James Lysons's octavo volume of newspaper cuttings relating to Piozzi during the years 1784-8.

Besides those mentioned above or in the entries, the following facsimiles of Piozzi's hand should be noted. Mangin, frontispiece, is a facsimile of the latter part of a letter dated 'Bath 30: June 1817' and containing two quotations of verse, not, however, Piozzi's own. A facsimile of a letter to Sir James Fellowes was published in M.A. Green, The Eighteenth Century Architecture of Bath (Bath, 1902). A facsimile of the signatures of Hester Lynch Thrale, Samuel Johnson and others to the deed of sale of South wark Brewery after Henry Thrale's death, is found in Broadley, facing p. 6; a facsimile of an invitation to Streatham Park from Mrs Thrale to Fanny Burney, in Broadley, facing p. 122; and also in Broadley, Appendix K, p. 301, an invitation, to Piozzi's eightieth birthday ball, partly printed, partly handwritten, 27 January 1820.

Horace Walpole Fourth Earl of Orford 1717-97 The reference edition for this section is The Works of Horatio Walpole, Earl of Orford, 5 vols (London, 1798). Published posthumously, this was ostensibly edited by Robert Berry, but was in fact edited by his daughter Mary, who with her sister Agnes had befriended Walpole in his last years. Uniform volumes were published later, the Memoires of the Last Ten Years of the Reign of George the Second, edited by Lord Holland, and the letters to George Montagu, William Cole, the Earl of Hertford, and others. Walpole himself had begun printing a quarto edition of his works at his own press at Strawberry Hill in 1770 to forestall unscrupulous publishers, and a list of the intended contents survives in MS, 'My Works in Quarto', WaH 563; but although the printing of Fugitive Pieces in Verse and Prose (1770) continued sporadically until as late as 1787, it was never published or even completed.

the Pierpont Morgan, and the remainder at the British Library. Yet more MSS and letters passed into the hands of the publisher Richard Bentley when he was bringing out his editions of Walpole's letters and memoirs; it has been stated that Bentley was given these by Mary Berry (see for example Hazen, Bibliography of Horace Walpole, p. 175), but it is now thought that he received them from the Waldegrave family.

Provenance

After four weeks of private and public viewing, the sale began on 25 April and was scheduled to last twentythree days. The seventh and eighth day's sales, the books and prints from the Round Tower, were withdrawn by Lord Waldegrave, recatalogued, and sold by Robins at Covent Garden. Thus these 305 lots became 1331 lots in the London Sale, which lasted ten days.

In 1842 the seventh Earl Waldegrave decided upon a sale and chose George Robins as auctioneer. The catalogue of the Strawberry Hill Sale was a quarto of 250 pages, which offered the library by presses. Complaints at its incompleteness led to six editions. Following the practice established in Hazen's bibliographies, in the entries and below small Roman numerals indicate day of sale, arabic numerals are used to indicate the Lot number of that particular day.

Walpole bequeathed his villa at Strawberry Hill and its contents to Mrs Anne Seymour Damer, daughter of his close friend Henry Seymour Conway, for the use of her lifetime. Thereafter they were to pass to his niece Maria, Countess Waldegrave, and her heirs. Mrs Damer and her uncle Lord Frederick Campbell were appointed executors of the will, and Mary Berry as literary executor.

Of the trade purchasers, Thomas Thorpe and William Strong both subsequently issued catalogues. Thorpe's is especially valuable as a further source of information. Three copies are extant, one at Cambridge University Library, Munby, and two at the Lewis Walpole Library. Important collectors who made extensive purchases at the Strawberry Hill Sale included William Beckford and the thirteenth Earl of Derby. The latter's collection was finally sold at Christie's, 1953-4.

Mrs Damer died in 1828, and herself left some of the MSS, including the originals of the letters to Sir Horace Mann, to Sir J. Wathen Waller, Bart., the owner of Pope's villa at Twickenham. The Waller collection was dispersed in two sales, Sotheby's, 5-6 December 1921, and Christie's, 15 December 1947. Other MSS remained in the possession of the Berrys. Most of these, including Walpole's letters to Mary Berry, are now at

HORACE WALPOLE, FOURTH EARL OF ORFORD Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis and the Lewis Walpole Library

the MSS and letters of Madame du Deffand, bequeathed to Walpole; books and MS music from Thomas Gray's library, described in more detail below; the journals of Anne Darner for the years 1791-7; collections of material relating to Thomas Chatterton and William Mason. Further acquisitions are the Weston, Keppel, and Grenville correspondence, and the diplomatic and other MSS of Sir Charles Hanbury Williams in ninety-four volumes.

The story of the MSS and books in the present century is virtually that of their being brought together again by Wilmarth Sheldon Lewis (1895-1979), whose career is described in his autobiographical Collector's Progress (London, 1952) and One Man's Education (New York, 1967). On graduating from Yale in 1918, Lewis declined the offer of a university teaching post to become a private scholar and collector; and by 1924 he had decided to concentrate his energies and resources upon collecting Horace Walpole. As his reputation as a collector grew, and his intention of leaving his collection to Yale University became known, Lewis was able to obtain MSS and books even from libraries by way of exchange, most notably the two 'Books of Materials' from the Folger. Many of the shorter MSS and letters were acquired from Richard Bentley of Upton, grandson of Richard Bentley the publisher, and the residue of the collection was sold to Lewis by Bentley's widow in 1937. Many other short MSS were received from Earl Waldegrave, either by purchase or by gift, in 1948.

The researcher at the Library will find several valuable card-indexes available; these were compiled in the course of preparing the Yale Correspondence. Besides indexes to the MSS and letters, including a subject index, there are others covering the following: MS notes; books mentioned; serials; reviews of Walpole's works; tracts; extra-illustrated books; the Strawberry Hill Press; chronology of books; provenance; dedications. Other especially useful aids are interleaved and annotated copies of Yale Correspondence, of Allen T. Hazen's twin bibliographies of Walpole and of the Strawberry Hill Press, and his Catalogue of Horace Walpole's Library; some of the additional notes in the latter were used in Karen V. Peltier, 'Additions and Corrections to Hazen's Catalogue of Horace Walpole's Library', PBSA, 78 (1984), 473-88. Pressmarks for the books and MS volumes at the library are simply their Hazen numbers. The unbound shorter MSS and letters are filed in steel cabinets, the former alphabetically.

Complementary to his activities as a collector, Lewis produced several editions of Walpole's verse and individual MSS, and was the author of a number of valuable studies. The most notable of these are his Sandars Lectures on Bibliography delivered at Cambridge University, published as Horace Walpole's Library (Cambridge, 1958), and his Mellon Lectures given at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, published as Horace Walpole (New York, 1960). The crown of his achievement, however, is undoubtedly his role as principal editor of the Yale Correspondence, which he intended should reflect Walpole's own aspiration to be the chronicler of his age; it was unfortunate, therefore, that he did not live to see the publication of the final volumes.

Of the books and MSS belonging to Walpole's literary friends and political associates, those of Thomas Gray deserve special mention. Several have have been listed in his section of the Index: his notes on Cicero in a copy of his Poems (London, 1768), GrT 214; his notes on 'Gravius, Great Collection of Italian history in 30 v. foF, a list of the contents of the first five volumes, GrT 219; his list of insects under twenty-three headings, beginning 'Coleoptera' and including 'Not in Linnaeus', GrT 232; his notes on Persian geography, together with notes on Balthazar Telles, The Travels of the Jesuits in Ethiopia (1710), and Pedro Teixeira, The Travels... from India to Italy by Land (1708), in a copy of his Odes ([Strawberry Hill], 1757), GrT 243; his genealogies of Appius Claudius and Fabius in Thomas Kirgate's extraillustrated copy of Designs by Mr. R. Bentley for Six Poems by Mr. T. Gray (London, 1789), GrT 249; his annotated copies of The Peerage of England: or, an Historical and Genealogical Account of the Present Nobility, 2 vols (London, 1714), GrT 350, and of Walpole's Anecdotes of Painting in England (Strawberry Hill, 1762-71 [1780]), GrT 370; and his annotated collection of music MSS in 10 vols, mostly by

By the terms of Lewis's will, his collection and his house in Farmington, Connecticut, were bequeathed to Yale University on conditions that the integrity of the collection be maintained and that its location should remain unchanged. As the Lewis Walpole Library, the house is now a Department of Yale University Library, and contains an unrivalled collection of Walpole's MSS, letters, and books; copies of Walpole's own works, annotated and extra-illustrated either by himself or by his secretary and printer, Thomas Kirgate; copies of books printed at the Strawberry Hill Press, and subsequent editions of Walpole's works down to recent modern reprints. Photostats of MSS and letters at other locations, complete except for a few minor items, supplement the Library's own holdings. Other valuable material includes

HORACE WALPOLE, FOURTH EARL OF ORFORD Marquess of Bath, of a poem entitled To His Holyness the Pope on the Duchess of K—ns being at Rome 1774', which begins 'Since thine the only power on Earth we know'; but in the absence of the transcript reported by Hazen, it would be unsafe to identify this with Walpole's poem. Another MS which remains unlocated is 'the vindication of his conduct towards Thomas Chatterton', WaH 503, reported to be among the papers of the descendants of Thomas Percy by Sir Ernest Clarke, 'New Lights on Chatterton', Transactions of the Bibligraphical Society, 13 (1913-15), 219-51. Presumably this was a MS of A Letter to the Editor of the Miscellanies of Thomas Chatterton, but Percy's present descendant does not own such a MS.

contemporary Italian composers and transcribed by unidentified professional copyists, GrT 347. For some further Gray items at the Lewis Walpole Library, see the account of transcripts made by Walpole below. The large and valuable collection of eighteenthcentury prints, approximately 420 of which are known to have belonged to Walpole, falls rather outside the Index's brief. These often, however, have Walpole's autograph annotations, usually identifications of political figures, less commonly a note of the political occasion. The Library's own holdings are supplemented by photographs of the sizeable collections of prints once owned by Walpole, many similarly annotated, at the NYPL, Prints Division, and the British Library, Department of Prints and Drawings. Facsimiles of a few prints and drawings annotated by Walpole have been published in Yale Correspondence, 33: 'Razor's Levee', facing 401; a drawing 'A Modern Venus', annotated 'By Miss Hoare of Bath' in Walpole's hand and dated 1785 in the hand of Thomas Kirgate, facing 512; The Way to Keep Him', facing 563. Some of the mezzotints on display at the Lewis Walpole Library also are subscribed in Walpole's hand, sometimes with a verse quotation referring to the sitter by name, usually from Pope; and even a very few of the drawings and oil paintings carry an inscription by Walpole on the back.

One of the shorter prose MSS requires special mention, 'Notes to Mr W. Mason's later poems, by Mr Horace Walpole 1779', WaH 587, consisting of 20 pages of an Introduction and notes to William Mason's An Heroic Epistle to Sir William Chambers, which was originally published in 1773. Its contents overlap with those of a composite volume at Harvard, consisting of An Heroic Epistle, 14th edition (London, 1777), bound with four other poems by Mason, each of which has Walpole's autograph marginal notes. Three of the five poems also have interleaved notes, and prefixed to the volume are Walpole's autograph title-page, 'Notes to the later Poems of the Reverend Mr William Mason, by Mr Horace Walpole, 1779', together with his two-page 'Introduction'. The notes from the Harvard volume have been printed in Satirical Poems Published Anonymously by William Mason, with Notes by Horace Walpole, edited by Paget Toynbee (Oxford, 1926), and the five poems have been listed individually in the Marginalia section, WaH 1306, 1308, 1310, 1312-13.

Literary Manuscripts The shorter MSS are extremely numerous and varied, but only a few call for individual remark. A short survey, still useful although out-of-date in some respects, can be found in the section 'Unprinted Manuscripts', in Hazen, Bibliography of Horace Walpole, pp. 175-8. Hazen's account itself draws heavily on Walpole's own autobiographical MS 'Short Notes', WaH 705, and 'My Works in Quarto' mentioned above. It is particularly helpful in drawing attention to the titles of two poems mentioned in these sources, but which were never published and for which no MSS have been traced, either by Hazen or in the course of the current research, 'Destruction of the French Navy', and 'Lines on the new front of Wentworth Castle'. On the other hand, one of the limitations of Hazen's article is that it takes no account of the many pieces of verse and short prose works included in, or enclosed with, Walpole's letters. The MS of a poem 'On the Duchess of Kingston's going to Rome', which Hazen dates c. 1774 and describes as 'known only from a copy, at Farmington, taken from Kirgate's MSS', WaH 194, was not verified in the course of the present enquiry. There is a transcript in an unidentified hand at Longleat House in Portland Papers, Vol. 19, f. 267, owned by the

Besides Walpole's commonplace books and notebooks, each of which contain some verse and which are described in detail below, there are two important MS volumes containing literary material. Both were acquired by W.S. Lewis from Earl Waldegrave. Because the individual contents have all received entries, these two volumes have not been given entries themselves. The first of these volumes, 'Poems and Other Peices', bound in white vellum, contains Walpole's autograph fair copies of much of his early verse, his contributions to The World, and a few other short prose works. F. 2 is inscribed 'Poems and Other Peices by Horace Walpole Youngest Son of Sir Robert Walpole Earl of Orford'; ff. 2v-3r are blank; the pagination begins on f. 3v (p. 1) and continues to f. 128 (p. 250); the remaining leaves are blank. Apart from Walpole's own poems, on p. 39 there are two transcripts in his hand of poems by Sir Charles

Hanbury Williams and Lady Mary Wortley Montagu respectively: 'An Address to Venus: General Churchill speaks. Hor: lib. 1. Ode 30', beginning 'O Venus, Joy of Men and Gods'; and 'Spectator, see poor Charles, at fifty four'. Notes for two short political memoirs, both in Walpole's autograph, have been inserted: drafts and notes for 'Memoires of the Rebellion in 1745 or a Review of the Transactions that Preceded it, & contributed to It's Rise', on a bifolium between pp. 234-6, WaH 533; and notes for 'Memoires From the Declaration of the War with Spain' on two slips pasted onto p. 248, WaH 531. There are two insertions in other hands: 'Of the miraculous Hampshire-Oak [Extract of a MS Marginal-Note in Dr Brown's Enquiries into Vulgar Errors. P. 100. By Dr. Wren]', tipped in at p. 244; a short note of apology to Walpole from Mrs Porter has been tipped in at p. 250. Other insertions are printed copies of two of the contents of the MS: Old England, No. 38, 22 October 1743, with autograph annotations, WaH 597, on f. 234, and The Lessons for the Day (London, 1742), on f. 235; and loose insertions, the London Evening Post, No. 2908, 24-6 June 1746, and Old England, No. 20, 18 June 1743.

The pagination, in pencil, begins on [f. 3] and continues to [f. 84]; but only the rectos, which carry the texts, have been included in the count, although notes appear on the facing versos. A note on [f.2v] facing the first entry makes it clear that these are fair copies of the texts made from those which were supplied for the press: 'N.B. These Papers are here transcribed from the Original Copies, which were often alter'd, & sometimes very absurdly, by the Editor, to whose Want of Judgment They were left'. Two entries appear at the back of the volume in a hand which was indentified by W.S. Lewis as that of Catherine (nee Shorter), the first Lady Walpole: 'For Mixing of Colours', ff. 136-4v reversed; 'Mr Figs receipt for ye biting of a mad Dog', f. 134 reversed. As Lady Walpole died in 1737, these must predate her son's entries.

A MS volume, containing transcripts of poems and prose by Walpole in an unidentified hand, once thought incorrectly to be that of Mary Berry, is now at the Lewis Walpole Library. It includes the following: 'Epitaph In the Church-Yard of St. Anne Soho', p. 2; 'The Magpie and her Brood, A Fable', pp. 3-6; 'Epilogue by Horace Walpole Spoken by Mrs Clive on quitting the Stage', pp. 23-4; 'Impromptu by Mr. H. Walpole on the late Dutchess of Queensbury', p. 25; 'Strawberry Hill A New Song by K. Clive', with note The 3 first Stanzas by the Earl of Bath the 3 last by Mr Walpole', pp. 26-8; 'In days of old, here Ampthill's towers were seen', p. 30; prose beginning 'Painting in Oil was discovered by John ab Eyck', subscribed 'This Printed on a single Sheet at Strawberry-Hill Press', p. 29. All these appear to have been transcribed from Strawberry Hill publications, and have not been given entries. The other contents are transcripts of poems by David Garrick, Charles Fox, Countess Temple, and others, printed at Strawberry Hill; and also newspaper cuttings of poems by Walpole. The volume was in the Isaac Reed Sale, 1836

Lewis also acquired the drawings made by Mtintz and Bentley for the memoirs of George II, together with the MS of Appendix A, 'Explanation of the Drawings', from Mrs Hallam Murray through Hodgson's. Thus although the bulk of the MSS of the memoirs and journals remain in the possession of the Waldegraves, important parts of the material are now at the Lewis Walpole Library.

Supplement, Lot 530; and sold at Sotheby's, 19 December 1927, Lot 518. Marked-up copies of Walpole's individual works account for a large number of entries, including two copies of Fugitive Pieces (1758), one at the Lewis Walpole Library, the other at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. A third copy of Fugitive Pieces (1758) with Walpole's autograph annnotations has not been located in the course of the research. This copy was Strawberry Hill Sale, iv, 145, and sold at Sotheby's, 24 April 1860 (John Mitford Sale), Lot 3677; it is listed in Hazen 2527, where its owner is given as Mrs Colin Davy of Heckfield Place.

In addition to the MS volumes, many of the scraps and fragments of 'Political Notes' at the Lewis Walpole Library and elsewhere can be shown to relate to the memoirs and journals. Their degree of proximity to the full texts of the MS volumes varies considerably. On the whole, the earlier 'Political Notes' are sufficiently close to be considered as drafts of passages in the memoirs; the later notes are so terse and condensed by comparison, that in these cases a cross-reference to the journals has been given, rather than treat the latter as publication of the note.

Memoires and Journals of the Reigns of George II and George III The written instructions left by Walpole for the publication of his papers referred to two wainscot trunks, designated Box A and Box B. The former was to be sealed, corded, and handed over to the Hon. Hugh Seymour Conway, to remain unopened until the eldest son of Laura, Countess Waldegrave, should reach the age of twenty-five. When Box A was duly opened in 1813, it was discovered to contain the MSS of Walpole's memoirs and journals of the reigns of George II and III, and also a short memoir covering the years 1754-8 by James, second Earl Waldegrave. The memoirs of George II consist of three volumes of Walpole's autograph drafts, and four volumes of his revised fair copy. The memoirs of George III comprise eight volumes, as do the journals of George III.

The nineteenth-century editions of the memoirs and journals are all in some degree unsatisfactory. Perhaps inevitably, Lord Holland suppressed passages which could still offend living parties in 1822. The passages cut from the George III memoirs have since been pasted back into the MSS; those from the George II memoirs were kept in a box which Lord Holland inscribed 'in virtue of general permission from Lord Walpole reserved for myself, and are now among the Holland House Papers at the British Library, WaH 544. Some pages which he excised because they presented his own grandfather and father in a very bad light have been discussed and published by the Earl of Ilchester, 'Some Pages Torn from the Last Journals of Horace Walpole', in Studies in Art and Literature for Belle da Costa Greene, edited by Dorothy Miner, (Princeton, 1954) pp. 449-58, but are now unlocated, WaH 795. Doran's editing of the journals of George III is particularly erratic; without any indication, he treated newspaper cuttings pasted into the MSS as if they were part of Walpole's text. The new Yale edition of the memoirs and journals is intended to complement the Correspondence. The Memoirs of King George II have already appeared, and publication of the memoirs of George III is projected a few years from now.

John James, the sixth Earl Waldegrave, consulted Henry Richard Vassall Fox, Lord Holland, who took charge of arranging publication. He edited both the Waldegrave memoir and Walpole's memoirs of George II, both of which he sold to John Murray. Holland's notes, memoranda, and transcriptions made in the course of editing are now British Library, Add. MS 51912A. The preface to the latter may have been written by the historian Sir James Mackintosh at Holland's request, but along lines suggested by him. Ill health and political activities combined to prevent Holland taking any further part in the publication of the MSS; and when Lord Waldegrave died in 1835, his literary executors gave the task of editing the memoirs of George III to Sir Denys Le Marchant. The journals of the reign of George III were edited by John Doran. Both were published by Richard Bentley, in 1845 and 1859 respectively. For whatever reason some of the MSS were not returned to the Waldegrave family, and they were among those acquired from Bentley's grandson by W.S. Lewis,

Diaries and Notebooks The earliest of the extant notebooks is a commonplace book begun by Walpole in 1740, as is indicated by its title-page: '1740. A Common Place Book of Verses, Stories, Characters, Letters, &c. &c. with some particular Memoirs of a certain Parcel of People'. Apart from the mock-advertisement for The History of Good-

Paris &ca.'. The contents are mainly notes of successive trips to Paris made during the years 1765-75, lists of correspondents to whom Walpole wrote during each stay, his expenses, and lists of purchases despatched to England. But the volume also includes some few pages of anecdotes and verse, although not all of the latter is Walpole's own.

Harvard, WM.2.5. As already explained, the two 'Books of Materials' were acquired by exchange from the Folger. They are both bound in green vellum, and contain notes mostly relating to painting, or tours to country houses, and to the 'Streets of London', besides miscellaneous entries, and a few poems. Some of the contents can be connected with Walpole's reading, as the notes and quotations correspond to passages marked by him in his extant books. To date the volumes have been published only piecemeal: the anecdotes of the courts of Queen Anne and the first two Georges, recorded in conversation with Henrietta Howard, Countess of Suffolk, from the 1759 volume; the notes on visits to country houses; the notes on painters; and the remarks on Shakespeare from the various sections headed 'Miscellaneous'.

Next in chronological order is the 'Journal of the Printing-Office at Strawberry hill near Twickenham in Middlesex'. This is bound in green vellum, with a note and the date on the front end-paper, 'Horace Walpole 1757. Archbishop Parker kept in his house a Painter, Engraver and Printer'. Some twenty items relating to the Press are inserted: bills, receipts, and the indenture for an apprenticeship held by a Joseph Forrester. In addition the MS has been extra-illustrated with engravings, including one of the farmyard and printing house, a portrait of Kirgate, and also with press cuttings, including advertisements for books printed at Strawberry Hill. The entries in the MS for the most part relate to the operations of the Press, but it also contains some twelve poems, for the most part complimentary verses addressed to visitors to the printing house.

The first of the two volumes is signed and dated 'Horace Walpole Sept. 1759' on the verso of the front fly-leaf, and the title 'Book of Materials' appears on [f. 2]. It is paginated 1-264 through ff. 3-136, page numbers 67 and 88 both appearing twice; and there is an 'Index of Heads'on f. 137.

'Horace Walpole 1786' is inscribed on the verso of its front end-paper, and on [f. 1] appears the title 'Miscellany', beneath Walpole's circular book-plate as Earl of Orford, and followed by a quotation from Colley Gibber's Apology. The prose contents are mostly anecdotes and observations, but also include an extract from the memoirs of George III, WaH 545. Besides Walpole's own verse and Act IV.i of his tragedy The Mysterious Mother, WaH 365, it contains his transcript of 'Epigram 1789', beginning 'See the Vengeance of Heaven! America cries', with a note to the title '(author unknown)', on p. 57.

Lewis Walpole Library. As its name indicates, the 'Book of Visitors' is a record of tickets issued for seeing Walpole's house and collections at Strawberry Hill over the years 1784-96. It is a memorandum book bound in a wrapover cover of maroon leather with pockets, printed in 1784. Walpole has used the interleaved blanks, the preliminary and final leaves, but sometimes wrote on the printed pages, ignoring their arrangement and dates. The other contents are a list of Mrs Darner's works (she was an accomplished sculptress) on ff. 6-7 and 21, a list of letters sent to the Berry sisters 1790-1 on ff. 93-2

The George Vertue MSS and Related Publications Among the MSS in Walpole's library were notebooks and loose papers of the engraver George Vertue, bought from the latter's widow, 22 August 1758. Walpole digested Vertue's rough notes on English painters, engravers, and works of art into his own Anecdotes of Painting in England, which is still a principal source for the history of the visual arts in England. Comparison with the notebooks has shown that Walpole's continuous prose is only infrequently close to Vertue's fragmented notes, even in the volume Catalogue of Engravers where Walpole was effectively writing a history which Vertue had seriously contemplated and assembled especially full materials. The Vertue notebooks have therefore not been given entries as source documents, but one which contains indexes in Walpole's hand, and another with his annotations, have been listed in the Marginalia section, WaH 1569 and 1572.

Also published in Vol. XXX are Vertue's own transcripts of notes upon five tours undertaken with Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford, and Henry Hare, Baron Coleraine; these are of a separate Harleian provenance, and are among the former Portland Loan MSS at the British Library. The following MSS were not published in The Walpole Society, because they were considered of insufficient interest or the nature of their contents made them unsuitable: lists and notes of tapestries, paintings and engravings, (Add. MS 19027); notes on coins (Add. MS 23077);

The MSS, listed in Hazen 3704, were in the Strawberry Hill Sale, vii, 63 [London Sale, Lot 1100], and 36 volumes appeared in Thorpe's Catalogue of MSS (1842-3), Lots 388, 524-48, 564, 567. The majority of these were resold at Puttick's, June 1859 (Dawson Turner Sale), Lot 517, to Boone for the British Museum, although a few MSS found their way there separately. Thorpe's Lots 530 and 533 are at Nostell Priory, Wakefield, formerly owned by the Winn family, but now administered by the National Trust.

The more important MSS have been published in The Walpole Society, and details are given below. The list gives Vertue's own number for each notebook, followed by the British Library's MS number in parentheses; almost all have Walpole's bookplate and autograph inscription.

242

HORACE WALPOLE, FOURTH EARL OF ORFORD Hazen 2163, which was not in the Strawberry Hill Sale, was sold at Sotheby's, 20 July 1942 (Broadbent Sale), Lot 66, and is now at the Lewis Walpole Library. So too is the MS 'List of the principal pictures, busts, statues, and antiquities at Strawberry Hill', Hazen 1162. The latter's sale history is as follows: Strawberry Hill Sale, iv, 131 [London Sale, Lot 1115]; Sotheby's, 9 February 1856 (Cotton Sale), Lot 62; Sotheby's, 17 June 1896 (Phillipps Sale), Lot 1273; Ellis & Elvey, Catalogue 84 (1896), Lot 658; Sotheby's, 14 May 1902 (J.W Ford Sale), Lot 562; Quaritch, Catalogue 218 (1902), Lot 172.

Walpole was further involved with Vertue in that he undertook the publication of catalogues of the art collections of Charles I, James II, and George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, from MSS prepared by or owned by Vertue. Printed copies of these with Walpole's annotations have been listed among the 'Works Edited by Walpole', WaH 768-72 and 774-7. There are a few extant MSS which relate to these publications. In the Royal Library, Windsor, is a catalogue of the contents of the Cabinet Room at Whitehall, in an unidentified hand, but with annotations in the hand Abraham van der Doort, Keeper of the Royal Pictures to Charles I; this was bought by Walpole in 1786, and carries his annotations, WaH 767. Van der Doort's own autograph inventory of the Royal collections is now in the Bodleian, Ashmole MS 1514, and there are transcripts in British Library, MS Lansdowne 1050 and MS Harley 4718, but none of these can be connected with Walpole. Likewise although the inventories of Charles I's pictures taken in 1639 and 1649, now British Library, MS King's 391, were owned by George Vertue, it was not from this MS that Walpole published the Catalogue and Description of the Capital Collection of King Charles the First's Pictures. There is, however, in British Library, Add. MS 15752, a catalogue of James II's collection apparently made by William Chiffmch, transcribed in Vertue's hand from a MS in the Earl of Oxford's library, together with his own inventory of the art works in Queen Caroline's apartments at Kensington taken in 1745. The latter section of the MS has been annotated by Walpole, WaH 773.

As to the history of the library after Walpole's death, Mrs Damer seems to have added nothing, and the Waldegraves only a few items. Thus it remained intact, not to say static, until the Strawberry Hill and London Sales of 1842. An account of these has already been given above under Provenance. Books which carry only Walpole's signature, his identification of the author or addressee, or the date of publication have not been included in the 'Marginalia' section, but entries have been given to items which contain his identifications of persons mentioned in the text. Contrary to the usual Index practice, books which carry markings rather than annotations have been included, although when an entry has been made for an item carrying markings alone, this has been indicated. Hazen and Lewis both acquired considerable expertise in identifying certain markings, particularly marginal crosses, as characteristic of Walpole, and furthermore have shown how some of these marked passages correspond to extracts and notes in such MSS as 'Book of Materials'. In such cases, Hazen's judgment has been followed.

Library and Marginalia A MS catalogue of Walpole's vast library was undertaken at his own instigation, and is still extant. Written in an unidentified clerical hand, the entries are made by size, under the name of the author. The compiler began with Press E, concurrently entering press-marks in the books themselves. This MS catalogue was undertaken in 1763, and Walpole continued to add to it over the next three years; Thomas Kirgate made further entries many years later. Formerly owned by Lord Walpole at Wolterton Hall, the catalogue was sold at Christie's, 6 December 1989, Lot 221, bought by Maggs for an American private collector. There is a facsimile in W.S. Lewis, Horace Walpole's Library (Cambridge, 1958), between pp. 10-11.

Many of the books listed in this section belong to the three series which Walpole intended should provide a literary record of the reign of George III: 'Poems published in the Reign of King George the Third'; 'Tracts of the Reign of George the 3d.'; and Theatre of the Reign of George the Third'. In addition Walpole collected two series of pre-1760 material: 'Plays', consisting of 220 pieces which he had bound in 19 volumes, and 'Tracts', 662 items in 88 volumes. Each volume in all five series had his autograph list of contents on the inside front cover.

Two other MS catalogues of the library and other contents of Strawberry Hill may be mentioned here. The MS 'Catalogue of the English portraits in the vellum volumes in the library, 1774', in Kirgate's hand with Walpole's note on the title-page '1774: Strawberry Hill',

The subsequent history of these collections is slightly complex. The pre-1760 Tracts' were bought for the Buckingham Palace Library at the Strawberry Hill Sale in 1842. Sir John Fortescue later sold them to Sir Leicester Harmsworth by private treaty through

243

HORACE WALPOLE, FOURTH EARL OF ORFORD

Quaritch, to finance a purchase for the Royal Library, Windsor. Harmsworth also bought the Tracts of the Reign of George the 3d.' at the Stanley Sale in 1920, and after his death both sets were sold to W.S. Lewis in 1938 through Quaritch.

Otherwise it is only necessary to record some changes of location. The letters from Thomas Gray to Walpole, formerly owned by Sir W.A. Waller, are now at Pembroke College, Cambridge. A letter from Walpole to Gray, 19 November 1765, given as unlocated in Yale Correspondence, is at the Berg; a facsimile has been published in Lola L. Szladits, Other People's Mail: Letters of Men and Women of Letters; Selected from the Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature (New York, 1973), pp. 17-20. The letters to George Montagu formerly on deposit at the PRO, after returning to their owner the Duke of Manchester, were purchased by the British Library in 1992; the volume of Walpole's letters to Montagu is Add. MS 70987, and Montagu's letters to him, at present unbound and unfoliated, are Add. MSS 70988-9. Also now at the British Library, Add. MS 51404, ff. 174-234, is the correspondence of the first Lord Holland and Lady Holland with Walpole. Walpole's letters to Anne, Countess of Upper Ossory, remain in private ownership. The letters to Viscount Nuneham and to the Earl of Harcourt are still at Stanton Harcourt, their present owner being the Hon. Mrs Anne Gascoigne. The letters to John Chute, together with a few related MSS, are currently on deposit at Hampshire Record Office. The letters from John Whaley to Walpole which were printed in Yale Correspondence, 40, from Toynbee, Supplement, III, were sold at Sotheby's, 5 December 1921 (first Waller Sale), Lot 196, to Sutton; seven of the eight letters have been auctioned recently at Christie's, 26 June 1991, sold to Burgess Browning. The letter from Walpole to his cousin, Thomas Walpole, 9 December 1787, printed in Yale Correspondence, 36, 248, when it was owned by H. Jack Lang, is now at Case Western Reserve University. The letter to the Irish antiquary Joseph Cooper Walker, 4 April 1791, printed in Yale Correspondence, 42, 324, when it was owned by Theodore Hoffmann, was sold to Ximenes (New York) in 1980. An autograph letter to Thomas Astle, 30 April 1770, printed in Yale Correspondence, 42, 279-80, was auctioned at Sotheby's, 6 December 1984, Lot 80, sold to Richards; Lot 81 in the same sale was an autograph letter to Samuel Lysons, [17] July 1793, printed in Yale Correspondence, 15, 240, and an autograph letter to Lady Diana Beauclerk, n.d., printed in Yale Correspondence, 42, 480-1, sold to Quaritch. An autograph letter to James Birdley, 9 November 1776, was sold at Sotheby's, 22 July 1985, Lot 58. Another letter to Thomas Astle, 19 July 1785, was auctioned at Christie's (New York), 18 October 1988 (Doheny Sale), Lot 1163. A letter to Sir William Hamilton, 18 August 1773, was auctioned by Christie's, 20 June 1990, Lot 270, sold to

Lewis's acquisition of most of the Theatre of the Reign of George the 3d.' is described in his Collector's Progress, pp. 119-33, and in Rescuing Horace Walpole, pp. 125-33. Maggs had bought the series at Sotheby's in 1914, but broke up the set for the sake of selling the plays by Goldsmith and Sheridan individually, and then sold the remaining items to Pickering & Chatto. It was from the latter in 1924 that Lewis purchased the plays which were readily identified as having been Walpole's, including the discarded bindings. Lewis found further items at Brick Row Bookshop, New York, returned to Pickering & Chatto in 1925, and with the help of the staff still more plays from the series were identified from their stock by means of matching up the staining on the edges of the leaves of the volumes. Pickering & Chatto's list of sales prior to Lewis's purchases enabled other plays to be traced, and some of these were obtained from libraries by exchange. Thus the bulk of the series is now at the Lewis Walpole Library, although some plays are at Harvard, which also holds the series 'Poems published in the Reign of King George the Third'. As for the pre-1760 'Plays', which had been bought by the Earl of Derby in 1842, these were acquired by Lewis at the Knowsley Hall Sale in 1953. Correspondence With the completion of the monumental Yale Correspondence, little needs to be said here. Three unpublished pieces of correspondence have been found in the course of the present research. An autograph letter to Stanislas II, King of Poland, 20 July 1786, is at the University of Bristol, inserted in an extra-illustrated copy of Cunningham, IX, 56. A letter from Henry Seymour Con way to Walpole, 3 September 1752, is at Warwickshire Record Office, CR114A/612/1. On the last page of the bifolium are an autograph poem by Walpole beginning 'Virtue! beware it! from the syren fly!', WaH 346, some memoranda, and another poem in his hand, beginning 'In Royal Veins how blood resembling runs!', and headed 'J. Meres in the Old Baily'. It is clear from the text that this is an attribution to John Meres, a political journalist of Jacobite sympathies who resided in the Old Bailey. And an unpublished letter from Walpole and Gray to Thomas Ashton, [July] 1739, is in the collection of Lawrence. G. Blackmom.

HORACE WALPOLE, FOURTH EARL OF ORFORD Correspondence, 17, xlviiin, as containing the letters only as far as 1758. Together with a companion volume of transcripts made c. 1833 of the correspondence with Lady Ossory 1771-91, they were sold at Sotheby's, 10 February 1964 (Holland House Sale), Lot 289, and are now at the Lewis Walpole Library.

Shutter. A letter to Charles Lyttelton, 28 August 1734, was auctioned at Sotheby's, 18 July 1991, Lot 196, sold to Eton College. A letter to Catharine Macaulay, 31 January 1778, was autioned by Phillips, 11 June 1992, Lot 19. A letter to Robert Jephson, 29 December 1781, was sold by Phillips, 12 November 1992, Lot 157, and a letter to a Mr Stovell, 29 January 1790, was sold by Stargadt, 19 December 1992, Lot 361. Five letters to the Earl of Strafford, 1760-90, were sold at Christie's, 24 November 1993, Lot 149. Three letters to unidentified correspondents, May 1760, and 21 July 1764, and 10 May 1759, were auctioned by Sotheby's, 13 December 1993, Lots 84, 83, and 86, sold to Quaritch, Browning, and to Quaritch respectively. A letter to the Hon. Thomas Walpole, 5 November [1767], was sold by Bloomsbury Book Auctions, 12 May 1994, Lot 233, to Wilson. And an undated note to an unidentified recipient was auctioned at Sotheby's, 19 July 1994, Lot 50, sold to Edwards.

Mann's letters to Walpole remained at Strawberry Hill until 1843, when they passed from Lord Waldegrave to Richard Bentley, whose descendant and namesake sold them to W.S. Lewis. They comprise four volumes, each with Walpole's autograph title-page, 'Letters From Horatio Mann Resident at Florence From King George the Second To Horatio Walpole youngest Son of Sir Robert Walpole afterwards Earl of Orford'. Transcripts by Walpole There survives a large number of transcripts in Walpole's hand of poems and letters. The most important of these are surely his transcripts of poems by his friend Thomas Gray. A transcript of The Candidate', with the risque last two lines cancelled, is at the Pierpont Morgan, listed in the Gray section, GrT 20; there is a photostat at the Lewis Walpole Library. Another transcript of The Candidate' by Walpole, with annotations in his hand, is at the Lewis Walpole Library, acquired from Earl Waldegrave in 1948, listed in the Gray section, GrT 19; it omits the last two lines, and is endorsed in the hand of Mary Berry, 'Gray's Verses upon Lord Sandwich for Ld Orf: 1794'. Both of these transcripts have been published in Yale Correspondence, 28, 16970. Walpole's transcript of the song, Thyrsis, when we parted swore', in a letter to the Countess of Ailesbury, 28 November 1761, listed in the Gray section, GrT 129, is at the Lewis Walpole Library; it was sold at Sotheby's, 5 December 1921 (first Waller Sale), Lot 6, and published in Yale Correspondence, 38, 144. A transcript in an unidentified hand of this poem and of another song, 'With beauty with pleasure surrounded to languish', on a sheet annotated by Walpole, The following two poems were given to Mr Jacob by [Miss Speed] Comtesse de Virri, who told him they were written by Mr Gray', is listed in the Marginalia section, WaH 1134, and in the Gray section, GrT 126 and 132. The MS is now Huntington, HM 12550.

The history of one section of the correspondence calls for special remark, the letters written to the diplomat Sir Horace Mann. At his request, Walpole's letters to Mann were returned to him over the years from 1749 onwards. He transcribed and annotated these himself up to 22 April 1755, and also for the period 7 September17 December 1775; the remainder were transcribed by Thomas Kirgate. These transcripts were entered in six volumes, with the title 'A Collection of Letters from Horace Walpole Youngest Son of Sr Robert Walpole Earl of Orford to Horace Mann Resident at Florence from King George the Second: transcribed from the Originals', which Walpole kept at Strawberry Hill. The originals themselves were kept at his town house in Berkeley Square, and Walpole directed that on his death they should be given to Sir Horace Mann the younger. Mrs Damer ignored this request, and gave the originals to Sir Wathen Waller, who is known to have still possessed them as late as 1833. But apart from the first sixteen letters, which were separated from the rest and are now at the Lewis Walpole Library, the originals are now lost, very probably destroyed deliberately, although other individual letters from the correspondence have continued to turn up from time to time. Mrs Damer gave the transcripts to Lord Waldegrave, in whose family they remained until sold to W.S. Lewis in 1948. The six volumes are now in a nineteenthcentury morocco binding with the Waldegrave bookplate. A further set of transcripts was made c. 1825 by Dr John Allen, librarian at Holland House, when the volumes were in the custody of Lord Holland. Allen's transcripts were incorrectly described in Yale

A handful of poems in French in the hands of Gray and Walpole, mentioned in the Introduction to the Gray section, p. 72, may also be noted here. Huntington, HM 1266, contains one poem in Walpole's hand, beginning 'A table jeune Silvie', and two poems in Gray's, 'Charmante Gabrielle' and 'II etoit une Dame'. A poem partly in Walpole's hand and partly in Gray's, beginning

245

HORACE WALPOLE, FOURTH EARL OF ORFORD 'Que Chacun de nous se livre', is at the Lewis Walpole Library, together with four shorter poems in Gray's hand, 'Ma bergere est tendre & fidele', 'L'amour, qui chancelle', 'Grandeurs brillantes', and again 'A table, jeune Silvie'. There are transcripts of all these poems in the hand of John Mitford in one of his notebooks, British Library, Add. MS 32561, ff. 101-8. These poems have not been accepted as Gray's by his modern editors, but there is no good reason to attribute them to Walpole either.

A transcript by Walpole headed, 'Ld Bolinbroke wrote these lines of Maynard, at his house of La Source in France—', consists of the French original, 'Las d' esperer & de me plaindre' together with the English parody, 'Weary of hoping, & complaining'; published in Berry, Journals and Correspondence, II, 65, it is now at the Pierpont Morgan, and there is a photostat at the Lewis Walpole Library. His transcript of a poem by Sir William Yonge, Bart., 'On being expelled a Lady's company', is at the Pierpont Morgan. His transcript of Voltaire's L'Indiscret, Act I, scene iii, 13-18, can be found in British Library, Add. MS 37728, f. 41v; he also quoted the passage in a letter to William Mason, 4 March 1778.

There is a transcript in Walpole's hand of a poem beginning The Devils were a brawling, when Burnet descending' in British Library, Add. MS 37728, f. 38, a photostat of which is at the Lewis Walpole Library. Comparison with other MS texts of this poem, for example the transcript in an unidentified hand in British Library, Add. MS 61842, f. 66, where it is entitled 'A Tory Song on the Death of Bishop Burnet', shows that Walpole has omitted or altered some derogatory references to his own father. For the record, there are two other transcripts of the poem in unidentified hands at the University of Nottingham, Portland MS Pw V 615, endorsed 'On Burnet Bishop of Salisburys Death, March 1714/5', and Portland MS Pw V 616, entitled 'Hells Holyday or Doctor Gilbert Burnets Triumph'.

Walpole's transcripts, 'Authentic Copies of four Original Letters found in the year 1754 in a wall nine feet thick, on pulling down a house in Palace yard Westminster, in order to build an Office for the Clerks of the House of Lords', are at the House of Commons Library, with photostats at the Lewis Walpole Library. The four letters are as follows: from Grey of Warke to the Crowne of France, n.d.; from Harold Leighton and Thomas Herbert to William Lenthall, 14 June 1645; from Oliver Cromwell to William Lenthall, 14 June 1645; and from Thomas Fairfax to William Lenthall, 15 June 1645. A transcript by Walpole of a letter from James, Duke of York, to William, Prince of Orange, 6 July [1679], with his note that it was transcribed from the original in a book owned by Dr Charles Morton, is now at the Lewis Walpole Library. A transcript of a letter on the earthquake at Lisbon from Sir Benjamin Keene to Sir Thomas Robinson, 10 November 1755, is also at the Lewis Walpole Library. Both of these items were sold at Sotheby's, 5-6 December (first Waller Sale), as Lot 62. A transcript of a letter from Maria, Lady Waldegrave, to Prince William, 3 May 1764, was auctioned at Sotheby's, 5-6 December (first Waller Sale), Lot 80, but bought in; it was auctioned again at Christie's, 15 December 1947 (second Waller Sale), Lot 52, and is now at the Lewis Walpole Library.

Walpole's transcript of a version of Alexander Pope's epigram, 'On Gibber', here untitled and beginning 'In rude old England was it a Rule', is pasted into one of John Mitford's notebooks, British Library, Add. MS 32559, f. 145. A transcript by Walpole of 'The Ballad of Lady Hounsibelle and Lord Lovel', enclosed with a letter to Thomas Percy of 5 February 1765, entitled in Percy's hand, with the conjugate leaf endorsed by Walpole To the Revd. Mr Percy at Easton Mauduit', is now British Library, Add. MS 32329, f. 26; it was sold at Sotheby's, 29 April, 1884 (Percy Sale), Lot 214, published in Toynbee, VI, 181-5, and also in Yale Correspondence, 40, 375. Walpole's transcript of Nicholas Rowe's poem, 'Extempore on Lady Hervey', is at the Huntington, JE753 (photostat at the Lewis Walpole Library); the poem has been printed in Yale Correspondence, 31, 418, Appendix 1, from another transcript in 'Book of Materials 1771', p. 61. His transcript of Henry Seymour Conway's poem, 'A Prescription', is also at the Huntington, with photostats at the Lewis Walpole Library. Walpole's transcript of George Bubb Dodington's 'Ballad on Mrs Strawbridge' is inserted in his copy of A Description of the Villa of Mr. Horace Walpole, at Strawberry-Hill near Twickenham, first edition (Strawberry Hill, 1774), facing p. 117; it has been published as Appendix 10 in Yale Correspondence, 34, 262-3.

Also at the Lewis Walpole Library are Walpole's transcripts of three letters from King James I to Charles, Prince of Wales, and George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, [14-15 June 1623], from the Conway Papers, now PRO, SP94/27/20-5; Walpole's transcripts were sold at Sotheby's, 5 December 1921 (first Waller Sale), Lot 62, and they have been printed in Yale Correspondence, 15, 339-42, as Appendix 4. At the same location are his transcripts of nineteen letters, mainly from Oliver Cromwell to Richard Major, but including three letters by Richard Cromwell; a note by

246

HORACE WALPOLE, FOURTH EARL OF ORFORD 1733', and on the back in another hand 'Horatio Walpole his book', is at the Lewis Walpole Library. Some leaves have been excised at both the beginning and end, apparently because Walpole transcribed the verses into another notebook. Hazen 2621 and Strawberry Hill Sale, vi, 149, it was sold at Christie's, 19 October 1953 (Knowsley Hall Sale), Lot 153.

Walpole indicates that they were transcribed by him from originals found at Pewsey, family seat of the Dunches in Berkshire, in 1749. Other transcripts in Walpole's hand now at the Lewis Walpole Library include the following: 'Epigram made by his Royal Highness William Henry Duke of Gloucester 1780'; 'All Joy to great Caesar! the Howes are found', apparently copied 'from the London Evening post'; letters to Sir Julius Caesar and D.

Joseph Warton 1722-1800

raise money by the sale of the papers and independently approached James Ingram, President of Trinity College, Oxford. Ingram offered to see to the publication of suitable material on their behalf, gave them an advance of ready money, took the MSS into safe custody, and then seems to sorted through them for what was most saleable. After protracted negotiations with the publisher John Murray, Ingram eventually concluded the sale of a large selection from the correspondence of both Joseph and Thomas in November 1826, but Murray's purchase was for the sake of his own collection rather than publication. These letters are now in the British Library, Add. MSS 42560-1. The bulk of the papers remained at Trinity College, possibly augmented by further MSS from Mrs Warton in 1820, and by MSS which Ingram acquired later from other sources, until deposited in the Bodleian in 1978-9. Meanwhile another substantial collection of Warton family MSS, which had belonged to Joseph's daughter Catherine Swann, devolved upon her descendant Mrs Howard Gray Swann, who presented them to Trinity College; they were deposited in the Bodleian in 1973. The Swann collection has twice been described in survey articles: Burns Martin, 'Some Unpublished Wartoniana', SP, 29 (1932), 53-67; and Joan Pittock, 'Lives and Letters: New Wartoniana', Durham University Journal, 70 (1977-8), 193-203. Comprehensive handlists to both deposits are available at the Bodleian.

There has never been a collected edition of Joseph Warton's poetry as such, let alone a complete edition of his works. The nearest approaches to the former are the substantial collections appended to John Wooll's Biographical Memoirs of the Late Revd. Joseph Warton, D.D. To Which Are Added, A Selection from His Works, and a Literary Correspondence Between Eminent Persons, Reserved by Him for Publication (London, 1806); and in The Works of the English Poets, From Chaucer to Cowper, edited by Alexander Chalmers, 21 vols (London, 1810), XVIII, 143-72. Neither of these, however, includes the verse translations of Virgil's Eclogues and Georgics which Warton contributed to The Works of Virgil, in Latin and English, 4 vols (London, 1753), produced in collaboration with his fellowWickhamist Christopher Pitt. Chalmers sometimes introduces variant titles and first lines not found in the texts as published in Joseph Warton's lifetime, although for some of these there are precedents in Wooll. Given that Chalmers is used as a reference edition faute de mieux, and that the status of both his and Wooll's readings awaits investigation, the titles and first lines of contemporary rather than posthumous publication are used here whenever alternatives exist. Provenance The provenance of the MSS of the Warton family is relatively uncomplicated, although certain details remain unclear. When Thomas Warton the younger died, his friend John Price, Bodley's Librarian, began to sort through his MSS before they were taken by his elder brother to Winchester College. Upon Joseph's death both his and Thomas's MSS passed to the former's son, John Warton. John Warton died in 1820, and his widow Elizabeth and his son, Joseph Pitt Warton, attempted to

Other MSS seem to have been sold by the Warton family in the 1820s. A major buyer was the Rev Peter Hall, who eventually gave his purchases to Winchester College. Still more MSS by both Joseph and Thomas Warton found their way into the collection of Sir Thomas Phillips; some were acquired by Winchester College c. 1857, and another is now at the John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 884.

JOSEPH WARTON

Some of Thomas Warton the younger's notebooks, containing antiquarian notes taken during his summer vacation tours, also at Winchester College, have an entirely separate provenance which is described in his section. The provenance of one or two other items will also be described separately below.

'August, Monday the ninth, I began to have my Battlings of Mrs Gosney' with a later note 'First at Winton', f. 21; and more Winchester College accounts, f. 34v. Thomas Warton the younger's drafts are dealt with in his section, but it will be convenient to list the poems by Thomas Warton the elder here. These consist of 'Imitated from Theocritus', an English translation of Bion IV in octosyllabic verse, f. 22; a Latin poem entitled 'Papilio', f. 22; 'Avicula Trrepvyt^ova-a, or the new fledg'd Bird', an English poem in heroic couplets, ff. 234; 'Reddere qui Voces &c. Hor. Art. Poe. Ver. 158', an English verse translation of an excerpt from Horace's Ars Poetica, ff. 24v-5; 'Soliloquy', eleven lines beginning 'See! Yonder Rose, it charms it blooms', f. 25; and four lines beginning 'Pox on yr Odes! Why still such paultry Strains', f. 25. Christina Le Prevost, in a handlist kept with the MS at Winchester, notes that the elder Warton possibly composed these poems at some time during the 1720s.

Literary Manuscripts The nature of the literary MSS does not easily permit their discussion according to the categories of verse and prose, and it is simplest to describe them as they occur in notebooks or unbound bundles. They consist of the following: Winchester College, MS 111/1; Winchester College, MS 111/7, 'My Exercises at School 1739'; Bodleian, MS Dep.e.291, 'Winchester Gathering Book 1739'; Bodleian, MS Dep.c.642; Bodleian, MS Dep.c.643; Bodleian, MS Dep.e.292; Bodleian, MS Dep.d.671; Winchester College, MS 30; Bodleian, MS Dep.d.680; Bodleian, MS Don.c.75; John Rylands Library, Eng. MS 884. On the other hand, special problems arise concerning the MSS of poems which Joseph contributed anonymously to his edition of his father's poems, Poems on Several Occasions, By the Reverend Mr. Thomas Warton (London, 1748). Much of the most interesting recent work on the MSS of the Warton brothers, and the consequent revision of their canon, has been concerned with this volume. These MSS and certain related fragments require to be treated separately and at some length.

[Untitled] Notebook, some autograph contents, but mainly drafts in the hand of Thomas Warton the younger (see his section), and poems in the hand of Thomas Warton the elder, 34 leaves. No publication traced. Contents (entries only): WaJ 70, 197-8, 219-20, 243. Winchester College, MS 111/1.

The earliest of the MSS appears to be the notebook which is now Winchester College, MS 111/1. It includes only a few items by Joseph Warton, most of the contents being drafts of verse and prose in the hand of Thomas Warton the younger, and fair copies of some poems in the hand of Thomas Warton the elder. The two items of most literary interest by Joseph are a Latin poem on the subject of a fire at Winchester College which took place in 1737, WaJ 70; and 'Obervanda versif.', a summary of a letter from Alexander Pope to William Walsh, 22 October 1706, evidently taken from a published edition of Pope's letters, WaJ 243. There are also two '[Lists of Wykehamists]', WaJ 219-20, the first of which is inscribed on the front endpaper along with some accounts; and two lists of books, WaJ 197-8, the latter being possibly a revised version of the former. Other items in Joseph's hand, which have not been given entries, are: some accounts dated 'Janry 1736/7 to be pd at Winton', f. Ir; more accounts together with the titles of some school books, with a note 'Memdm The Receits after Whitson 1739: which were forgot at Xmas', f. Iv; a record of 'Battlings' at Winchester, commencing

Much more important among Joseph Warton's early literary MSS are two notebooks dating from his last year as a schoolboy at Winchester College, 1739-40, one now at Winchester, the other in the Bodleian. Both contain drafts and notes for English and Latin compositions, whether verse or prose, and even some dramatic fragments. Different versions of one or two texts appear in both, and comparison gives some indication which is the earlier volume. 'My Exercises at School 1739'. This notebook lacks its cover but is inscribed on one of its outer leaves in Joseph's later hand, 'My Exercises at School 1739', and on another 'College Poetry & Prose— by Joseph Warton. P.H.' in the hand of Peter Hall. The MS is unfoliated but, following the handlist by Christina Le Prevost, the leaf with Warton's own descriptive title will be treated as f. 1. The first of the contents is a fragment of a poem entitled 'Catharina & Itchinus', an allegory on the love of Mount Catherine and the river Itchin, WaJ 17. Another

Birthday', f. 81. This last poem is of especial interest because it was recast to form part of The Enthusiast, one of the most important of Joseph's poems, and the MS has been listed under both titles, WaJ 26 and WaJ 137. The Enthusiast was first published in 1744, but later printings carry the note 'Written in 1740'; as Le Prevost remarks, the presence of these poetic prototypes in the 'Winchester Gathering Book 1739'bears out this date for the poem's initial composition. Another interesting item is a five-page draft of a poem in blank verse headed To Pity', WaJ 152. This may possibly be a version of the ambitious allegorical poem entitled The Temple of Pity', a synopsis of which was published in Wooll. Joseph later recast The Temple of Pity' as an ode. Fairer, RES, n.s., 26, 401, calls attention to a letter to Joseph Warton from Thomas Warton the younger, 19 April [1745], in British Library, Add. MS 42560, f. 5, where Thomas approves his brother's decision to turn The Temple of Pity' into an 'Ode to Pity'. On the verso of the letter Joseph has drafted the first strophe, beginning 'Daughter of pining, paleey'd Woe', and the first line of a second strophe, with the title 'Pity' written in the margin, WaJ 108.

draft of this poem, WaJ 18, is found in the 'Winchester Gathering Book 1739', Bodleian, MS Dep.e.291, described immediately below. The Bodleian version is not only longer, but adopts revisions which appear in the text of WaJ 17, and it may therefore be assumed to be the later version. Rather puzzling are a series of Latin prose paragraphs, all written in peculiarly abrupt phrasing, but with no apparent continuity of subject matter. The present writer is inclined to accept Le Prevost's suggestion that these are 'themes', or possibly notes for them, a regular feature of seventeenth- and eighteenthcentury schooling. They have been listed accordingly, here WaJ 267-71 and 274-9. The most important item, however, is a draft of an early long poem, lacking its title, but probably to be identified as The Assembly of the Passions', WaJ 13. This allegorical poem was mentioned in Thomas Warton the younger's edition of Poems upon Several Occasions, English, Italian, and Latin, with Translations, by John Milton (London, 1785), p. 369, where he noted that his brother's poem had predated William Collins's ode, The Passions', and a sketch of its contents was published in Wooll, pp. 8-9; but modern scholars had believed it to be irrecoverably lost.

Also in the notebook are autograph drafts for two poems, 'Ode on the Passion', WaJ 104, and 'An American Love-Ode', WaJ 7-8. Joseph Warton's authorship of 'An American Love-Ode' was first claimed by one of his former pupils, George Huddesford in his Salmagundi (1791); see Eric Partridge's The Three Wartons: A Choice of Their Verse (London, 1927), p. 71, with acknowledgements to lolo A. Williams. Joseph, however, published neither poem under his own name, but included them in his edition of his father's verse which is discussed below.

'Winchester Gathering Book 1739'. The other notebook is bound in vellum, inscribed on the cover 'Warton 1734' and 'Winchester Gathering Book 1739'. The term 'Gathering Book' relates to a practice peculiar to Winchester College during this period, as explained by Le Prevost, RES, n.s., 37, 328-9n; it was customary for the pupils to compile collections from classical authors of their own choice, together with illustrations of them. Thus the present notebook includes neatly written 'Illustrations' on Cicero, Horace, and 'Longinus', WaJ 202, 215, 221-2. In later life Joseph added a few annotations throughout the volume: notes on the dates of two Latin poems on ff. 74v and 79, WaJ 71 and WaJ 78; a note concerning a masque called The Hermit', written for a school performance, on f. 79, WaJ 188; and concerning a poem 'Reflexions on my

pieces by his father and his younger brother, and an apparently autograph poem by Joseph Trapp, 'The sacrifice of Christ', f. 118. The one poem by Thomas Warton the elder, 'The Regal Dream. 1715', lines 7-59 only, is his autograph fair copy, with revisions in Joseph's hand, WaJ 182.

126-9, 138-43, 147-50, 153-4, 157-8, 160-8, 170-80, 182, 190, 206, 234-5, 240, 242, 246, 249. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.642. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.643, is also unbound. The most important contents are the assorted notes relating to Warton's important critical work, An Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope, WaJ 209. Some of these notes are written out neatly and headed by a line reference to a particular passage of one of Pope's poems, for example 'Vv. —'. This may indicate that these have been rewritten for use in the commentary to Warton's later edition of Pope's Works, which was rather unfairly criticised by contemporary reviewers as being often An Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope 'cut up'. Also present are some appreciative comments on the Essay by Lord Macartney (ff. 47-8).

Among Joseph Warton's autograph drafts is another fragment of the early 'To Pity', beginning 'On her white wrist a gentle Turtle sits', WaJ 153. Also in this MS is a fair copy in Joseph's hand of 'To his Royal highness the Duke of York', published in a 1761 Oxford volume of congratulatory poems by members of the university on the marriage of King George III. As published, the poem is attributed to Richard Phelps, Fellow of New College, but Hugh Reid, 'A Probable Addition to the Poetic Works of Joseph Warton', RES, n.s., 38 (1987), 526-9, has drawn attention to two letters, 29 October and 3 December 1761, in which Warton reveals that he wrote the poem for Phelps. The MS, WaJ 150, is conclusive evidence of Warton's authorship, because it is subscribed 'Winchester Camp. Inserted in the Oxford Collection under Mr Phelp's name, for whom I whom wrote them'.

In the case of another poem, the MS reveals a discrepancy of title and even apparent subject with the text as published. Wooll, p. 163, printed for the first time a short poem beginning 'Bathe not for Me, dear Youths! your mournful lays', under the title 'Verses on Dr Burton's Death', evidently taking it to be an elegy for John Burton, Warton's predecessor as Headmaster of Winchester. But the autograph MS, WaJ 164, although untitled, is endorsed in an unidentified hand 'Fragment of Dr Warton's farewell on resigning his situation as Head-Master of Winchester School'. This is slightly more consonant with the poem itself, but without knowing if Wooll had any grounds for the title which he gave, the question remains open.

Bodleian, MS Dep.c.643.

Another notebook is now Bodleian, MS Dep.d.671. Seven leaves have been excised so that of its present foliation, ff. 15-21 are stubs only. The remaining contents include drafts of passages from Ranelagh House: A Satire in Prose, WaJ 260, the odes 'To Evening' and 'To Liberty', WaJ 88 and 95, and The Enthusiast, WaJ 32. The drafts of this last are especially interesting because they are here accompanied by some notes for a prose introduction drawing upon the Earl of Shaftesbury's The Moralists, which modern scholarship has shown, without reference to this MS, to have been an important influence upon the poem.

Contents (entries only): WaJ 132, 145, 228, 237. Winchester College, MS 30, is another notebook which contains material by both of the Warton brothers. It is inscribed 'Warton. 1744' in the hand of Thomas Warton the younger, and he has used it for drafts of literary works (see his section). Joseph's entries, on the other hand, consist of a fair copy of an essay 'De virtute morali', WaJ 203, and are otherwise exceptionally neat finished notes, at least some of which have been culled from printed sources. At least the first set of notes are collections from Aristotle's De Generatione, I.x, WaJ 199, and the second, which are concerned with the nature of covenants, are specifically headed 'Some notes out of Dr. Hamonds Case', WaJ 263. The other groups of notes are arranged under short 'heads', on the moral and intellectual virtues, WaJ 238, and on the customs of the ancient Hebrews, WaJ 229. Approximately two-thirds of his way through the latter Joseph appears to have digressed into a series entitled 'A short View of several Heresies', WaJ 262; this begins with brief comments under such headings as 'Of ye Ebionites' and 'Of ye Gnostics', but extends to modern sects, 'Of ye Socinians', and even 'Of ye Lutherans'.

Bodleian, MS Dep.d.680. Bodleian, MS Don.c.75, consists of autograph poems and letters by Thomas Warton the elder, Joseph Warton, and Thomas Warton the younger, collected in the late nineteenth century by the Rev J.E. Millard of Basingstoke, which had once been the elder Thomas's parish. It was acquired by the Bodleian in 1954. The material by Thomas Warton the younger is described in his section. It contains four poems by Joseph Warton, WaJ 3, 4, 108, and 115, three of them still unpublished, together with some of his correspondence for the years 1756-1800, ff. 16-57. There are three autograph poems by Thomas Warton the elder: 'A Paraphrase on the first Psalm', which is dated 'Septbr. 28. 1704', f. 4; 'A Paraphrase on Hor: Odes, I.xxxiv, 1704', f. 5; and 'Written in ye Case of her Watch', f. 6, which is followed by a cancelled addition in the hand of Joseph Warton, WaJ 184. The poem was included in Poems (1748), retitled and revised by Joseph. The MS also contains assorted verse and letters by or concerning different members of the Warton family, ff. 85-108.

JOSEPH WARTON to Edward Younge, 25 May 1750, f. 25 reversed, a Latin note on Seneca, WaJ 226, and transcripts of two verse epitaphs from Purton Churchyard, f. 25v reversed, a transcript of a letter to Edward Younge from Lady Cardigan, 13 June 1756, which had apparently been enclosed in Younge's letter to Joseph of 15 June, f. 24, and a draft of a letter on the subject of a Renaissance educational text, f. 24v. Also on f. 25v reversed is an epigram in Joseph's hand, 'Upon a certain College in Oxford on their insuring ye building', beginning 'Well may the Am'rous Sons of W—'. There is, however, a transcript of this epigram by John Phillipps in Bodleian, MS Eng.misc.e.241, which attributes it to Thomas Warton the elder, and it must be said that this kind of scurrilous performance is more readily associated with the elder Thomas. A note to Phillipps's transcript on the occasion of the epigram also suggests that it should be dated early in the century.

did establish that at least five poems were really the work of the elder Thomas Warton, but four of these had been corrected or even heavily revised by Joseph. Joseph's editorial work on these warrants the separate section, 'Verse Written by Thomas Warton the Elder and Revised by Joseph Warton'. Fairer's discovery had critical implications which go beyond the question of authorship. He concluded that there were scarcely any grounds left for believing that Thomas Warton the elder had ever written verse in the mid-century style, and that other poems in the volume might well prove to be the work of his sons if only MS evidence were available. The surmise was confirmed when a file of Joseph's MSS, temporarily mislaid, was recovered and proved to include Joseph's autograph drafts for 'Retirement; an Ode', which Fairer had singled out as an especially likely possibility, WaJ 138. See his later note, '"Poems of Thomas Warton the Elder?": A Postscript', RES, n.s., 29 (1978), 61-5.

Le Prevost's article has added to these discoveries not only by identifying further poems by Joseph in Poems (1748) among the MSS in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.642, and elsewhere, but also casting considerable light on Joseph's habits of composition and the development of individual poems. Her article takes as its starting point some extended draft passages relating to the poem which we now know as Fashion, An Epistolary Satire. This appears to have been originally of a more grandiose conception, encompassing such themes as gluttony and luxury as well as fashion. Probably its sheer unwieldiness obliged Joseph to reduce the length of this poem, but with artistic thriftiness he saved discarded passages for future use, and some were reshaped to become poems in the 1748 volume. Thus a draft beginning 'O France Dress and Meat', WaJ 39, includes two verse paragraphs which can be identified as Fashion, lines 69-102. Other parts of this draft, lines 99102 and 105-10 in the numbering of the MS, became 'Verses left on a Lady's Toilette', lines 1-2 and 5-12; and lines 3-4 of the latter can be recognised among some rough jottings written longitudinally on the same page, WaJ 161. As to lines 103-4 of the MS, these became 'Against Dress. To a Lady', lines 5-6, WaJ 6. A further group of autograph draft verse paragraphs intended for the extended couplet satire can be found on the verso of a letter to Joseph from Richard Tomkyns, 25 August [1741?], in British Library, Add. MS 42560, f. Iv, WaJ 38, see FACS. The MS begins 'Thus Thus, as the Stars to Murd'rers Light supply', and the first couplet, lines 109-10 according to Joseph's numbering, was apparently intended to conclude some preceding section. There fol-

MS 884. Poems on Several Occasions (1748) by Thomas Warton the Elder, edited by Joseph Warton Considerable importance was given to this edition by a previous generation of literary historians who still favoured the now contentious, some would say discredited, term 'Pre-Romanticism'. Here, the received opinion ran, was a posthumous collection by an almost exact contemporary of Pope who in his last years began to write in the emerging style of the 1740s, and to whom his sons must have been indebted for their own poetic use of Spenser and the early Milton. This assessment has been quite exploded by David Fairer's extended article, which makes extensive use of the MSS in the Bodleian and at Winchester College. No less than six of the poems exist in Joseph's autograph: To the Right Honourable George Dodington', WaJ 154; 'Mammon's Plea', WaJ 66; 'Ode to Sleep', WaJ 109; 'An Ode Written in a Grotto, near Farnham in Surry, call'd Ludlow's Cave', WaJ 111-12; and the two poems in the 'Winchester Gathering Book 1739' as mentioned above. Four poems were discovered in autograph MSS of Thomas Warton the younger; see his section (Introduction and WaT 68, 81, 144, and 152). The MSS

JOSEPH WARTON published in Dodsley's Collection of Poems. For the former he used only two lines of The Tears of Brittannia', which became lines 56-8 of 'A Fragment of a Satire', listed separately as WaJ 45; Le Prevost regards this as probably sufficient to establish Joseph's authorship of the whole poem. For 'Verses written at Montauban in France', he took the opening lines from the first strophe of the Tears of Brittania', listed separately as WaJ 165. These he combined with other lines which can be found in another draft in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.642, which is actually headed 'Lines written at Montauban by J.W.' in the hand of John Warton, WaJ 167.

low three paragraphs: fourteen lines beginning 'Not so Gargilius— sleek voluptuous Lord', of which the first six lines were adapted as Fashion, lines 13-16, and the remainder became lines 11-18 of The Glutton', WaJ 53; fourteen lines beginning 'Happier the lonely Hermit's simple Food', of which the first and fourth lines were reshaped as Fashion, lines 21-2, but the whole passage was also reworked as The Glutton', lines 19 to the end, WaJ 53; and eighteen lines beginning 'Why ye Profuse, has Nature worke'd in vain', which became lines 1-18 of 'On Luxury', WaJ 113. Another draft for 'the long satire', as Le Prevost calls it, can be found in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.642, f. 41. It consists of an apostrophe to Peace beginning 'Hard Fate of Peace! Such evils to produce', and on the verso a prayer beginning 'O let me wander thro' Life's humblest Shade', WaJ 40. As Le Prevost points out, although no part of these passages was used in Fashion, their relationship to the satire can be clearly established through some prose planning notes to WaJ 38 above. The passages were, however, used to form the latter part of 'Of Luxury', and four additional lines in the printed text of Fashion are also found at the bottom off. 41v, beginning 'Man grows fatigued with even Paths & plain', WaJ 115. A further draft can be found on f. 41, eight lines beginning 'Arts that embellish Life, none discommend', followed by more prose planning notes and a quotation from Horace; this passage was used to complete 'Verses left on a Lady's Toilette', WaJ 164. Finally Le Prevost identifies two further draft passages written for the long satire on Bodleian, MS Dep.c.642, f. 84v, six lines originally beginning 'O best of Bards forgive his Praise sincere', probably an address to Alexander Pope, and seven lines beginning 'He can't read Horace but it must be gilt', WaJ 41.

Finally, still one more poem can be added to Joseph Warton's canon on MS evidence, the second of the two imitations of Runic odes included in the 1748 volume, and hence probably its companion piece as well. Lines 9-10 of 'Another, on the same Subject', WaJ 10, can be found in the notebook, Bodleian, MS Dep.d.671, following some prose notes on the advantages of life in a primitive society. Le Prevost, who connects the both the notes and the Runic odes with Joseph's reading of Sir William Temple's essay 'Of Heroic Virtue', judges this sufficient evidence for the attribution. Besides the MSS, there are two marked-up printed copies which need to be mentioned, both at Cambridge University Library. One is a copy of Odes on Various Subjects, second edition (1747), bound with a collection of poems and religious pamphlets by several authors; a list of the contents of this composite volume is partly in Joseph Warton's hand, and completed in the hand of John Mitford, evidently its subsequent owner because his signature appears on the end-paper. Of Warton's seventeen odes, no less than six have emendations in his hand, although in some cases the revision has been cancelled and 'stet.' written in the margin, WaJ 82, 91, 94, 97, 99, 100. 'Ode V. To a Gentleman upon his Travels thro' Italy', contributed anonymously to the collection by Thomas Warton the younger, has emendations in his hand; see his section, WaT 141. No third edition of Odes ever appeared, and although the first ode, To Fancy', was reprinted in Dodsley's Collection of Poems, the text there follows that of Odes (1747). Nor do any of the MS emendations appear in the texts as printed by Wooll and Chalmers, except for the correction of an obvious misprint in the ode 'On Shooting', and this is probably mere coincidence.

Also in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.642, ff. 15-16, is a revised autograph fair copy of a poem entitled 'On the Marriage of the Reverend Dr. Hodges, &c.', beginning 'Behind the Hills when sunk the dewy Sun', and subscribed 'Wrote by me at Oriel Coll.'. Le Prevost points out that 30 lines were adapted from this unpublished poem which dates from Joseph's undergraduate days to form To a Friend, On his Marriage', another of his contributions to Poems (1748). The MS has been given entries under both titles, WaJ 123 and 149. A further item in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.642, is a draft of an unfinished patriotic poem, The Tears of Brittania An Ode', WaJ 148. Joseph drew upon this draft for two completed poems: 'A Fragment of a Satire', yet another of his anonymous contributions to the 1748 volume; and 'Verses written at Montauban in France, 1750', which he

The other marked-up item is a copy of The Museum, 3 vols (London, 1746-7). The emendations are not in Warton's own hand, but a note on the fly-leaf of Vol. I, signed by 'A.C.', states that they have been transcribed from Joseph Warton's own copy. 'A.C.' may be assumed

JOSEPH WARTON

to be Alexander Chalmers, who in a footnote to his biographical notice of Joseph Warton in Works of the English Poets, stated that he possessed Warton's own annotated copy of The Museum. Two poems by Warton himself are corrected in this copy, 'Stanzas written on taking the Air after a long Illness', WaJ 146, and as it is here entitled, To Superstition, An Ode', WaJ 92. The other annotations identify the authors of essays and poems as Joseph Spence, James Merrick, William Whitehead, Thomas Warton the younger, Robert Lowth, Christopher Pitt, and Mark Akenside, who was editor of The Museum. The attributions are consistent with information from other sources on the authorship of the contents of The Museum, and in a few cases, notably those of Akenside and his own brother Thomas, Warton's note is the only indication which we have. This set as a whole has been listed in the 'Marginalia' section, WaJ 319.

a sermon on Ecclesiastes 9.2, possibly by George Bingham, preached at Pimperne, Dorset, besides other places, 1739-94, Bodleian, MS Dep.d.688;

two sermons preached at Brightwell, Rushmere, and Waldringfield, Suffolk, 1723, 1728, Bodleian, MS Dep.e.297; two sermons, possibly by James Harris, Vicar of Abbotsbury, preached at different locations in Dorset, 1732-58, Bodleian, MS Dep.e.298;

a sermon, possibly by George Bingham, preached at different locations 1740-87, Bodleian, MS Dep.e.299, ff. 1-8, and also perhaps by Bingham, a sermon on Psalm 103.4 preached at Brinkworth, Wiltshire, 1764, ff. 9-18; two sermons, on James 3.18, 1777, and on II Peter 1.5-7, 1782, Bodleian, MS Dep.d.690;

There is no indication that Joseph Warton ever considered publishing his sermons, which are here listed alphabetically according to their text or, where that cannot be identified, their theme. Notes on the dates and places of preaching are freguently appended to the MSS in the hands of both Joseph and Thomas Warton, and of Joseph's son John. Evidently the brothers often exchanged sermons, and after their deaths John continued to make use of them. All three were in the habit of recycling the sermons, either preaching the same sermon at different churches, or even at the same church after a decent interval of several years. In one particular instance, the MS of a sermon on I Corinthians 1.20 is written in Thomas Warton's hand and has been thoroughly revised by him; but a note has been appended by Joseph which states that he wrote the sermon and gave it to his brother. Because Joseph's authorship need not be questioned, and it is equally clear that Thomas not only transcribed but rewrote the sermon, it has been listed in both the Joseph Warton and Thomas Warton the younger sections, WaJ 293and WaT 425-6.

a sermon on Deuteronomy 6.24, transcribed from Alexander Gerard's The Scotch Preacher (1780), preached at Tichborne, Hampshire, 1798, Bodleian, MS Dep.d.692; a sermon on Philippians 3.8, transcribed from George Carr's Sermons, and another, ff. 8-21, on II. Corinthians 11.29, transcribed from Benjamin Calamy's Sermons (London, 1690), Bodleian, MS Dep.d.693, ff. 1-7; a sermon on I John 5.20, Bodleian, MS Dep.d.694, ff. 1-13, together withan account in Latin of Michael Apostolius, ff. 14v-21v reversed; a sermon on Romans 13.5, Bodleian, MS Dep.d.695, ff. 1-26, and another on II Corinthians 9.6, ff. 27-36.

Apart from those sermons which can be attributed to the Warton brothers, their father, or their maternal grandfather Joseph Richardson (for the latter see below), the Warton collections include several sermons by other authors. A few are transcribed from published sources, a common enough expedient for the eighteenth-century preacher. Only in one instance is it clear from the notes on dates of preaching that a sermon was actually used by both the Warton brothers over the years 1764-71, that on I John 4.9, Bodleian, MS Dep.d.689. For the sake of their possible interest, the others are listed here:

Diaries and Notebooks The most interesting, perhaps, of the literary notebooks is the numbered series of 'Stromata— or Various Literary Anecdotes, And Critical Observations On Authors Ancient and Modern'. There were evidently at least nine such notebooks, of which eight are still extant: Part 2, 29 leaves, WaJ 308; Part 3, 26 leaves, WaJ 309; Part 4, 30 leaves, WaJ 310; Part 5, 30 leaves, WaJ 311; Part 6, 31 leaves, WaJ 312; Part 7, 32 leaves, WaJ 313; Part 8, 26 leaves, WaJ 314; Part 9, 22 leaves, WaJ 315.

422

JOSEPH WARTON 1988), three taken from Wooll, and three from British Library, Add. MS 42560, ff. 29 and 32, and Add. MS 42561, ff. 227-8. Excerpts from five letters to Thomas are quoted in Wendorf, and Joseph's correspondence with his brother has of course been published in the recent edition of The Correspondence of Thomas Warton, edited by David Fairer (Athens, GA, 1995). A complete edition has been prepared, however, as 'The Correspondence of Joseph Warton', edited by Hugh Reid, Ph.D. dissertation, University of London, 1987, and its publication announced for the future.

The 'Stromata' evidently belong to the mid-century fashion for collections of literary anecdotes, and a note inscribed on the back cover of '[Part 7]' indicates that they were intended for publication; J.M. Osborn's introduction to his edition of Joseph Spence's Observations and Anecdotes of Books and Men, 2 vols (Oxford, 1966) offers a helpful account of the development of the 'ana' and anecdotes as a literary form. The first seven parts consist of relatively short assorted anecdotes in a numbered sequence 62-480. In two of the notebooks, Parts 4 and 5, on reaching the last leaf Warton worked backwards adding a handful of additional anecdotes on the unused versos. Parts 8 and 9 contain unnumbered extended notes on Italian Renaissance authors and on the ancient Greek historians; the latter are written in Latin, the former in Italian with references to sources.

Apart from Add. MSS 42560-1, other items of Joseph Warton's correspondence in the British Library include the following: letters to Lord Carmarthen, 1796 , 1798, Add. MS 27915, ff. 113-18; to Edward Gibbon, 1776, Add. MS 34886, f. 61; from Thomas Gray, [1751], MS Egerton 2400; to Lord Hardwicke, 1784, Add. MS 35622, f. 30; a letter from the Earl of Liverpool, 1782, Add. MS 38309, f. 30; to Thomas Percy, Add. MS 32329, ff. 52, 136; letters to Richard Phelps, 1763-4, MS Stowe 799, ff. 153, 155, 171; to Lord Sheffield, 1795, Add. MS 34887, ff. 297, 300; and letters to John Wilkes, 1789-97, Add. MS 30877, ff. 113-18, 135, 138-48.

Two other notebooks contain lists and brief outlines of projected works, 'A Book of Subjects', WaJ 301, and 'Observanda', WaJ 306. Warton appears to have been much given to jotting down stray ideas for all kinds of literary enterprises, perhaps, as Le Prevost, RES, n.s., 37, 344-5, observes, quite conscious that most of them would never be realised. Their brevity and sheer number makes it quite impractical to give each of these schemes an individual entry, and the attempt to do so might even exaggerate their importance given the apparently passing nature of Warton's intentions. 'Observanda' also contains some miscellaneous notes and anecdotes, and another notebook of 22 leaves, WaJ 304, contains similar material.

Of the Trinity College deposit at the Bodleian, MS Dep.c.641 contains letters to Joseph Warton, 1776-98, and letters written by him, 1755-99. Also included in this MS is part of a verse translation of Chaucer's Squire's Tale by Thomas Warton the younger, see his section, WaT 175. Still more letters can be found in Bodleian, MS Dep.b.220, part of the Swann Collection, including: letters from Joseph to his sister Jane, and portions of letters from his wife Mary to Jane, 1735-1800; letters to his wife Mary, his son John, his daughter Mary or 'Molly' Morgan, and an unidentified correspondent, 1769-93; letters to Joseph Warton by various correspondents, 1769-99. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.548, also part of the Swann bequest, includes part of a letter from Joseph to Jane Warton, although it otherwise consists of letters from his wife Mary to Jane. Apart from the Trinity College and Swann collections, some letters can be found among the Bodleian's other holdings: MS Eng.misc.c.l, f. 82; MS Montagu.d.2, ff. 82-92; MS Eng.lett.d.74, f. 42; MS Eng.lett.d.310, ff. 154-5; letters to Thomas Burgess, Bishop of Salisbury, MS Eng.lett.c.139, ff. 28-37; to Robert Lowth, MS Eng.lett.c.574, ff. 95-6.

Yet another notebook of 22 leaves, 'Memoranda. Dec. 1759', WaJ 302, contains notes more specifically concerned with classical and English literature. Some of these notes were apparently intended for the Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope, Vol. I, which is a more discursive work than is sometimes appreciated; these have been given a separate entry accordingly, WaJ 210. The dating of the notebook suggests that the notes were made for the revised 1762 edition of the Essay, Vol. I. Correspondence A generous selection of Joseph Warton's correspondence was included in Wooll, pp. 201-406, under the section title 'Letters of Eminent Persons: Left by Dr. Warton for Publication', and with a facsimile of Warton's title-page for the bundle of letters facing p. 202. Otherwise only individual letters have been published as part of the correspondence of his more famous friends, for example Samuel Johnson. Six letters to Joseph Warton have been published in The Correspondence of Robert Dodsley 1733-1764, edited by James E. Tierney (Cambridge,

A bound volume of Joseph's letters to his daughter Mary Morgan, written 1775-85, is now at Winchester College, MS 112; two of the contents, however, letters 129 and 181, were written by Thomas Warton the younger. Also at Winchester College, MS 129, is a single

423

JOSEPH WARTON letter from Joseph Warton to Samuel Johnson, 27 January 1778, concerned with the admission of Charles Burney's son Richard on the Foundation of Winchester College. Other letters by or to Joseph Warton are scattered throughout various locations: Colorado College; the collection of Lady Eccles (Dr Mary Hyde); Folger; Harvard; National Library of Scotland; Princeton, Robert H. Taylor Collection; State Library of Victoria; and Yale, Osborn.

Manuscripts of other members of the Warton Family Several MSS of Thomas Warton the elder have already been mentioned. A particularly large collection of his papers can be found in Bodleian, MS Dep.d.687. This includes the lecture which he delivered as Professor of Poetry at Oxford on Hebrew poetry, 'De Sacra Poesi', ff. 1-13, and fragments of his lectures on classical poetry, ff. 23-35. The elder Thomas Warton's tenure of the Professorship of Poetry is described, with some reference to these lectures, in Joan H. Pittock, Thomas Warton and the Oxford Chair of Poetry', English Studies, 62 (1981), 14-33. Other contents of this MS are sermons preached 1715-44, ff. 36-99, some diary entries 1722-3, f. 100, and poems including 'An ode upon the Prince of Denmark's death', ff. 103-4, 'O where is Stella now to soothe my care', on the subject of his deceased wife and perhaps written during his own final illness, f. 106, and 'On an ill-natured Beauty', f. 105, which last has been revised by Joseph Warton, WaJ 182. Bodleian, MS Dep.e.245, in the Swann Collection, is a notebook containing poetry for the most part by Thomas Warton the elder, written early in the century, with a list of the poems and their authors on ff. 34v-5; it also contains a child's arithmetical notes and writing exercises, ff. 5-8, 36-7. Also at the Bodleian is an index on two leaves which lists the titles of 51 poems by the elder Thomas, none of which appear to be extant.

Miscellaneous Bodleian, MSS Dep.d.697/1-2, are two notebooks, 26 and 19 leaves respectively, containing accounts in Latin of the Greek scholars Manuel Chrysoloras, Janus Lascaris, and Marcus Musurus. Both are written in unidentified hands, but they were possibly transcribed for use by Joseph Warton. Warton's agreement with Robert Dodsley concerning the publication of the translation of Virgil, 1749-50, is now in the British Library, MS Egerton 738. A later assignment of the Virgil, 1797, is also in the British Library, Add. MS 38730, f. 130. The probate of Joseph Warton's will, 1800, is in Bodleian, MS Dep.b.221, item 2, part of the Swann Collection. Two other documents in this MS concern the Warton family: item 1, a copy of Anthony Warton's will, 1715; and item 4, the appointment of John Warton as chaplain to Lord Sidmouth, 1806.

Thomas Warton the elder's autograph MS of To Mr. Addison, Occasioned by his Return from Hanover with the Lord Halifax. Written 1700', as revised by Joseph, WaJ 183, is at Winchester College, MS 111/2. This also contains the father's autograph fair copy of 'Philander, an Imitation of Spencer, occasioned by the death of Mr. William Levinz, of M. C. College, Oxon. Nov. 1706', but this poem has not been revised or annotated by Joseph. University of Leeds, MS Lt.33, a commonplace book written in an unidentified hand, and which seems to derive from Salisbury School, contains 31 poems by Thomas Warton the elder, some dozen of which are in English and the rest in Latin.

A presentation copy of The Works of Virgil, in Latin and English, 4 vols (London, 1753), to the library of Winchester College, with an unsigned autograph note, is still at the College. So too is a copy of Thomas Bilson, The Effect of Certaine Sermons (London, 1599), presented to the College by Joseph Warton. An inscribed presentation copy of Joseph Warton's Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope, second edition (1762), was offered for sale by Stonehill, 1980-1. Another presentation copy of the Essay appeared in Quaritch, Bulletin 23. A facsimile of the flyleaf inscription from yet a third presentation copy has been published in Maggs Catalogue 937, Autumn 1971, reproduced in DLB 109, EighteenthCentury British Poets: Second Series, edited by John Sitter (Detroit, 1991), p. 267. This and the example in Wooll already mentioned above are the only published facsimiles of Joseph Warton's hand which have been traced.

The autograph MS of a ballad by Thomas Warton the elder, beginning 'Of all the roots the Hannover Turnip is the Best', is at the Bodleian, MS Rawl.D.400, f. 91. It is discussed and published in an article by the present writer, 'A Lost Ballad by Thomas Warton the elder', The Scriblerian, forthcoming, which shows firstly that this must be the Jacobite ballad mentioned in contemporary accounts of the elder Warton but which modern scholars had thought lost, and secondly that it was published anonymously as The Turnip Song: A Georgick ([London, 1718?]).

Hester Lynch Thrale's marginalia in her copy of An Essay on the Genius and Writings of Pope are listed in her section, ThH 1137; see James Allison, 'Mrs Thrale's Marginalia in Joseph Warton's Essay', HLQ, 19 (1956), 155-64.

424

JOSEPH WARTON There is a MS of a poem entitled The Pyramids of /Egypt', beginning 'Queen of the East whose penetrative mind', at Oriel College, Oxford, which in a letter to the College Librarian of 1980 Christina Le Prevost argued was written by Joseph Warton's son, Thomas. There is a transcript of this poem in an early nineteenth-century collection of verse by Winchester scholars, British Library, Add. MS 29539, f. 15, where it is subscribed 'J. Warton 1771', which suggests as possible authors either John Warton or another of Joseph's sons, also called Joseph. The same MS contains a transcript of a poem 'On the Revd: J. Dennis late Minor Canon of Winchester', beginning 'On Sunday John Dennis with surly grimace', subscribed 'T. Warton', f. 20. It seems reasonable to assume that this is the work of the third Thomas Warton.

Bodleian, MS Dep.d.485, contains letters written by Joseph Warton's daughter Mary Morgan from India to her sister Charlotte and her aunt Jane, 1776-80; and Bodleian, MS Dep.d.485, contains her letters to Charlotte and Jane, 1781-5, together with an undated letter to her brother John. Both MSS form part of the Swann Collection, and the correspondence has been described and quoted in Joan Pittock, 'Lives and Letters: New Wartoniana', Durham University Journal, 70 (1977-8), 193-203. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.550, also from the Swann Collection, contains widely assorted Warton family papers, but only those of the generations immediately succeeding Joseph and the younger Thomas will be described here. The first of its contents is an undated letter from Elizabeth, wife of Thomas Warton the elder, to her daughter-in-law Mary, Joseph's wife, f. 1. This is followed by a series of MSS by Jane Warton: an undated letter to her niece Charlotte, ff. 4-5; drafts of two wills dated 1800 and 1807, ff. 6-11; drafts of an account of her brother Thomas, ff. 15-67; drafts of her letter published in the Gentleman's Magazine, September 1794, pp. 806-7, on ff. 68-9; and her transcripts of elegies on her brother Joseph, ff. 71-3. Of particular interest is a poem on the death of Thomas Warton the younger in Joseph Warton's hand, but probably written by Jane, 'Lines to the Memory of a dear Brother from seeing a distant view of Catherine Hill, his frequent Walk. An irregular Ode', beginning 'You tufted Trees, you shining rill', ff. 4-5. Also of interest are some papers of John Warton: a transcript of the parish register of Belchalwell, Dorset, 1793, signed by him as curate, f. 78; leaves from a notebook containing John's poems and transcripts from printed works, ff. 111-23; and most important, notes, many of which concern Dryden's works, ff. 97110. These last are possibly connected with the edition of Dryden, begun by Joseph Warton but completed by John after his father's death. The other items in the MS are letters and documents relating to Joseph Warton's other son, also Joseph, Charlotte Warton and her husband Jacob Holiest, Ann Warton, Mary Warton, and Catherine Sarah Swann (nee Warton).

Literary Manuscripts of other authors in the Warton Collections Among the MSS of the Warton brothers is a considerable amount of material written by their friends and literary associates. Much of this is unbound and contained in Bodleian, MSS Dep.c.644-7; the contents of the first two of these are arranged alphabetically. The most important items are without doubt the autograph MSS of Joseph Warton's friend, William Collins, in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.644, ff. 38-58, consisting of verse, an oration in Latin, and Collins's textually important transcript of Jonathan Swift's 'On the Day of Judgement'. These have been published in William Collins: Drafts and Fragments of Verse, edited by J.C. Cunningham (Oxford, 1956). See the Collins section, CnW 3-15, 17-18, and also the Swift section, SwJ 84 and Introduction. The other authors include a few figures of real importance to the student of the eighteenth-century, such as William Lisle Bowles and Robert Lowth. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.644 also contains poetry by Bowles, collected by James Ingram, ff. 9-17, and by Joshua Childrey, given to Thomas Warton, by Browne Willis c. 1754, ff. 38-58; other noteworthy items are William Crowe's 'A reflexion upon the lapse of time and its effects', f. 65; and part of a Winchester 'gathering book' for 1728 which belonged to Christopher Golding, ff. 91-100. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.645, contains some papers by James Ingram, ff. 118; Latin and English poems by Robert Lowth, ff. 29-42; a poem 'On the marriage of Miss H. Warton' by Richard Mant, Thomas Warton's first editor, ff. 45-6; a poem 'On His Majesty's Accession to the Throne', ff. 52-3, by James Merrick, who like both the Warton brothers contributed to Dodsley's The Museum.

Bodleian, MS Dep.f.43, is a notebook which probably belonged to Joseph Richardson, Thomas Warton the elder's father-in-law; it contains two sermons with annotations showing that they were preached at various times at his parish of Dunsfold. The notebook is also part of the Swann Collection. Two more sermons by Joseph Richardson, on the subject of liberty, and preached by him at Dunsfold, 1693-1734, are in Bodleian, MS Dep.e.296, part of the Trinity College deposit.

425

JOSEPH WARTON Bodleian, MS Dep.d.603 is a notebook originally belonging to John Fenton, which he gave to Joseph Warton in 1742, containing transcripts of three poems: Robert Lowth's 'The Judgement of Hercules', ff. 1-14; William Markham's 'Judicium Paridis', ff. 15-22; James Merrick's 'Benedicite', ff. 23-7. Bodleian, MS Dep.d.696/1, is a notebook containing transcripts of letters from Joseph Spence to Christopher Pitt, 1728-36, together with an epitaph on Spence by Thomas Warton (see his section, WaT 220), f. Iv, Pitt's poem The Invitation', ff. 18-19, and a poem by Spence on the birth of the Prince of Wales in 1762, f. 20. Another notebook, Bodleian, MS Dep.d.696/2, contains further letters to Pitt, mostly from Spence, 1736-47.

Winchester College, MS 66, presented to the school by the Rev Peter Hall, contains an 'Ode for the New Year, Jan. 1st 1782', beginning 'O wondrous power of inborn worth', together with its musical setting. It was once thought that this ode was by Joseph Warton, and the MS in his hand; the poem was in fact written by William Whitehead, Thomas Warton the younger's predecessor as Poet Laureate, and the hand appears to be Whitehead's autograph.

Thomas Warton the Younger 1728-90

As in the case of his brother Joseph, there are no modern editions of Thomas Warton the younger's various works, although The History of English Poetry and Observations on the Faerie Queene of Spenser quite recently became available again in facsimile editions. The standard edition of his poetry remains The Poetical Works of the Late Thomas Warton, B.D., edited by Richard Mant, two vols (Oxford, 1802), which includes copious annotation and a still useful 'Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Thomas Warton'. But Mant's edition is not genuinely complete, omitting as it does two admittedly slight poems addressed to the 'LadyPatronesses' of the graduates' Common Room of Trinity College, Oxford, and more seriously the early Five Pastoral Eclogues (1745). Mant's exclusion of the Eclogues was in good faith; they were published anonymously, and Warton's sister Jane had told him that in later life her brother had denied authorship (Mant, I, xiiixiv). Both the Five Pastoral Eclogues and the Common Room verses are included, however, in J.S. Cunningham, 'An Edition of the English Poems of Thomas Warton', unpublished B.Litt. dissertation, Oxford, 1952, and this has been used as a supplementary reference edition.

The provenance of the major collections of Warton family MSS has already been described in the Introduction to the Joseph Warton section. A few remarks pertaining to the separate provenance of some of Thomas Warton's travel and antiquarian notebooks will be reserved for the appropriate place below.

The order is chronological, in so far as this can be established; but some large unbound MSS containing material from different stages of Warton's long writing career will be described first.

published under that title, but drafts beginning 'More Newsmans Verses? Tis a Task severe', WaT 186. [Untitled] Unbound MS, mainly autograph, but also containing letters and documents in various hands, 121 leaves.

Bodleian, MS Dep.c.638 contains letters and miscellaneous documents, besides verse. Apart from the literary items, the contents include: letters addressed to Warton, 1758-89, ff. 1-33, including comments on the History of English Poetry and his edition of Milton's shorter poems, ff. 33-44; letters from Warton to Jackson's Oxford Journal, 1766, ff. 34-5, to Isaac Reed, 1786, ff. 37-8, and to Thomas Gray, 1770, f. 42; contracts with publishers, 1752-81, ff. 45-9.

No publication of the whole traced; for individual items, see entries for details. Contents (entries only): WaT 2, 6, 8, 10, 22, 26, 43, 60, 66-8, 71-3, 78, 84, 87, 96, 98-99, 106, 108, 110, 112, 115-16, 122-4, 131, 135-40, 142-5, 148, 152, 167-9, 173-4, 177-9, 185-6, 194-7, 200, 468. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.638.

The verse, much of it still unpublished, spans Warton's career as a poet from the early 'From the Thirteenth Ode of the Second Book of Horace' to one of the laureate odes which he wrote towards the end of his life. The former poem was one of those which the Warton brothers surreptitiously inserted in the 1748 edition of their father's poems; see the Introduction to the Joseph Warton section for a full account of this volume, and Joseph's editing and contributions. The MS, WaT 68, which is dated 'Aug: 17. 1741', was identified by David Fairer, The Poems of Thomas Warton the Elder?', RES, n.s., 26 (1975), 297. Two other poems which appeared in Poems (1748) found by Dr Fairer in this MS are: 'A Pastoral on the Death of Bion. From the Greek of Moschus', lines 1-79 only, WaT 152; and a draft of lines 21-48 of the 'Ode to Taste', WaT 144. This last forms part of an extended draft which was included in Cunningham as '[Ode to Wit]', WaT 145, and which has still further interest in that another part of it can be identified as a section of the ode 'To a Gentleman upon his Travels thro' Italy', included as 'Ode V in Joseph Warton's Odes on Various Subjects (1746) and consistently reprinted as his. So this ode, too, can now be reassigned to Thomas Warton the younger on the evidence of autograph MS, WaT 140.

Bodleian, MS Dep.c.639, contains Latin verse and prose. A few items in the hand of Joseph Warton are listed in his section. Other contents include addresses to the Vice-Chancellor, theological notes and fragments of sermons. [Untitled] Unbound MS, autograph, 102 leaves. No publication of the whole traced; for individual items, see entries for details. Contents (entries only): WaT 7, 9, 11, 27, 29, 38-9, 69, 102-3, 203, 207, 248, 269, 274, 331, 350-1, 353, 355, 383, 392, 400, 402, 414-16, 418, 423, 430, 439, 444, 449-50, 452, 454,461, 470-2. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.639. Bodleian, MS Dep.c.640, contains a mixture of literary and antiquarian material. The other contents include a transcript of the grant of letters of administration for the estate of John Milton, 1675, ff. 12-13; an autograph fair copy of a letter to an unidentified nobleman discussing the rebuilding of the tower of Salisbury Cathedral, and the addition of its spire, ff. 29-30; two leaves, excised from the Gentleman's Magazine, on which there is a letter replying to a hostile notice of Warton's edition of Milton's shorter poems, ff. 71-2; a printed copy of Dialogus in Theatro Sheldoniano Habitus inter Richardum Hely Hutchinson et Davidem Henricum Urquhart (1773), with a short note by Warton that the author was Benjamin Wheeler of Magdalen College, ff. 73-6; and a scale drawing with description in Warton's hand, 'Inscription. On a Mass of Lead found on the Verge of Broughton Brook on Houghton side of the Water, Hampshire; Aug: 11. 1783', f. 77. Much of the MS is taken up with a large bundle of transcripts, mostly but not entirely in Warton's hand, of Elizabethan

Another of the contents is an autograph draft of 'From Horace, Book III, Od. 13', which was also contributed anonymously as 'Ode VIIF to Joseph Warton's Odes (1746), WaT 67; but it was replaced in the second edition by one of Joseph's own poems, and Thomas's authorship has long been known. Two other items deserve individual remark. There is a single-sheet printed copy of 'Ode XXII. For His Majesty's Birth-Day, June 4th, 1789', possibly a private printing for performance or presentation at court, with Warton's autograph revisions and instructions as to the lay-out of the strophes, WaT 131. Also The Oxford Newsman's Verses' is not one of the series of four poems

verse. Many of the poems are from the celebrated collection Englands Helicon, and it would appear that Warton was contemplating either an edition of Englands Helicon, or his own anthology of sixteenth-century poetry which would draw heavily upon it, perhaps the 'Select Pieces of Ancient Poetry' which was one of the projects he toyed with before finally embarking on The History of English Poetry, see below.

Bodleian, MS Dep.c.547, includes letters written by Warton to his sister Jane, 1738, 1748, and 1768-85, ff. 118; the earliest of these contains a short poem on Hero and Leander, translated from one of Martial's epigrams, WaT 146. There follow a letter written in the character of a private soldier, 1780, f. 19, a letter to Joseph Warton, [1783], f. 20, and letters to Joseph's daughter Charlotte, 1787-8, ff. 21-34. On f. 35 is Warton's Latin poem on the death of George II, WaT 73; on f. 36 some extempore verses on another of his nieces, Mary, endorsed by Joseph Warton, WaT 42; and on f. 37 a note on his receipts from the office of Poet Laureate, 1787.

Two documents have a special importance for Warton's activities as a literary historian and editor. The first is a transcript of Alexander Pope's sketch of a history of English poetry in the hand of William Mason, and annotated by him, sent to Warton when the latter began his own History of English Poetry, f. 39. The second is an extract transcribed from the registry of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, concerning a dispute over John Milton's will, ff. 40-7, a question which Warton discusses in his edition of Milton's shorter poems.

Bodleian, MS Don.c.75, consists of autograph poems and letters by Thomas Warton the elder, Joseph Warton, and Thomas Warton the younger, collected in the late nineteenth century by the Rev J.E. Millard of Basingstoke, which had once been the elder Thomas's parish. It was acquired by the Bodleian in 1954. The material by Thomas Warton the elder and Joseph Warton has been described in the latter's section. It contains five poems by Thomas Warton the younger, including 'Birds nesting in Dunsfold Orchard', WaT 18, which is endorsed by his sister Jane to the effect that it was his earliest attempt at writing verse.

THOMAS WARTON THE YOUNGER Winchester College, MS 30, is a notebook used by both Joseph Warton and Thomas Warton the younger, who has inscribed it 'Warton. 1744' on f. 1. For Joseph Warton's entries, which consist mostly of neat notes and 'collections', see his section. Thomas Warton's entries are rough, unfinished drafts and notes for projected literary works, including four prose narrratives, WaT 217, 237, 240-1, 401, and a synopsis of a tragedy, WaT 199, possibly not his own composition. The most interesting item is WaT 48, some prose notes for the first of the Five Pastoral Eclogues of 1745, headed with a draft of the general title of that collection. As remarked already, the Eclogues were first published anonymously when Warton was still only seventeen, and he never acknowledged his authorship. This draft would appear to be the earliest instance of the abundant MS evidence that he did in fact write them.

Thomas's correspondence for the years 1735 and 177686 can be found on ff. 71-84 of this MS. [Untitled] Partly autograph, partly in the hands of Thomas Warton the elder and Joseph Warton, see the latter's section, containing poems and letters. No publication of the whole traced; see individual entries for details. Contents (entries only): WaT 18, 36, 80, 101, 151, 157, 163, 327. Bodleian, MS Don.c.75. Winchester College, MS 111/1, is a notebook which contains material in the hands of both the Warton brothers and of their father. For the items by Joseph Warton and Thomas Warton the elder, see the Introduction to the former's section. Christina Le Prevost, whose handlist and notes are kept with the MS at Winchester, dates Thomas Warton the younger's entries to 1744-5, his first year as an undergraduate at Trinity College, Oxford. These include drafts of verse and prose, both English and Latin, but also drafts of a letter To Mr Haynes', f. 4, of a letter to 'Dear Dobson', ff. 27-6v reversed, to 'Dear Hall, f. 27v reversed, to 'Dear Squibb', f. 29v reversed, and of two letters to his brother, 'Dear Jo', ff. 32v and 33v. Other items in the younger Thomas's hand are some accounts, f. 4, a list of nouns and compound adjectives, f. 11, and 'An Account of T. Warton's Cloaths', beginning with '6 pair of Stockings', f. 18.

[Untitled] Notebook, partly autograph rough drafts of prose, partly finished notes in the hand of Joseph Warton, see his section, 124 leaves. No publication of the whole traced: see individual entries for details. Contents: WaT 48, 199, 217, 237-8, 240-1, 325-6, 396,401,404,406,417. Winchester College, MS 30. Although the notebook Bodleian, MS Dep.d.610, is inscribed on the cover T.W. Sketch of a System of Logic/Arsinoe a Tragedy', these are not, however, the most interesting of its contents. 'Arsinoe" consists only of a list of dramatis personae written on the inside front cover, WaT 198; and 'A Short System of Logic'occupies only three pages, WaT 409. More important are the drafts of all of the Five Pastoral Eclogues (1745) and the preface, WaT 44, 49-59, 61. Other contents are an unfinished draft of 'An Essay on Love', WaT 225, fragments and drafts of an English verse translation of Juvenal VI, WaT 168-9, and of a Latin poem '£sdes Tylneianae', WaT 3 (for another draft of this, see Winchester College, MS 111/1, and WaT 4).

Among the specifically literary items is the younger Thomas's autograph draft of 'An Invocation to a Nais', WaT 81, a poem which was included as 'An Invocation to a Water-Nymph' in Thomas Warton the elder's Poems (1748). This draft was discussed in Fairer, RES, n.s., 26, 287-300; but it had already been identified and the poem reattributed in Cunningham, I, 69, duly acknowledged by Fairer. [Untitled] Notebook, mainly autograph, but with some contents in the hands of Joseph Warton and of Thomas Warton the elder, see the former's section, 34 leaves.

Three items relate to Richard Glover's epic Leonidas (1737), which like many of his contemporaries Warton admired excessively.

Thomas Warton the elder's in Poems (1748); and so this can now also be added to the poems in that volume which should be assigned to the elder Warton's sons. Christina Le Prevost, 'More Unacknowledged Verse by Joseph Warton', RES, n.s., 37 (1986), 341, remarked the interest of both the younger Thomas and Joseph Warton in Glover's Leonidas, and although overlooking this particular MS, suggested that the 'Carmen in celeberrimi Gloveri Leonidam' might well be the work of one of the brothers.

leaves have been inserted following this, on which are a few short miscellaneous items in the hand of Joseph Warton, see his section, WaJ 191, 227, 236. The remaining pieces by Thomas Warton are a draft of an unpublished poem entitled 'On two libels lately published by two celebrated Cantabs', WaT 150, a quotation of eight lines from Pope's Essay on Man (not given an entry), and some assorted prose notes. Fairer, RES, n.s., 26, 405, has recognised among these a draft of the Advertisement prefixed to 'Three Epigrams from the Greek' in Thomas Warton the elder's Poems (1748), WaT 205, and concludes that the three epigrams may be reasonably assumed to be the work of the younger Thomas Warton.

There are several items of special interest in the notebook Bodleian, MS Dep.d.611. It begins with some drafts for Eclogue 5 of Five Pastoral Eclogues, WaT 623, and elsewhere in the MS is a draft of the title-page, WaT 45, and two drafts of the preface to Five Pastoral Eclogues, WaT 46 and the longer WaT 47. The drafts of Eclogue 5 are followed by a fragment of 'An Essay on Romantic Poetry', WaT 226, which despite its brevity and incompleteness has been described Fairer, RES, n.s., 26 401-2, as an important literary manifesto for both Warton and his elder brother. The other contents include a sequence of drafts for what eventually became 'Ode XI. On the Approach of Summer', here headed 'Winter, & Summer. Two Poem[s] In imitation of L'Allegro & II Penseroso', WaT 114. Evidently the ode was conceived originally as a pair of contrasting companion poems, and although Warton finally recast them as a single piece the indebtedness of form and diction to Milton remains obvious.

Bodleian, MS Dep.d.612. The drafts of uncompleted literary projects in the notebook Bodleian, MS Dep.d.613, show Warton attempting such varied forms as the Oriental tale, WaT 319, and a Latin pastoral masque, WaT 201. Other contents include further drafts of the companion poems 'Summer/ Winter', WaT 113, and a draft of 'An Essay on Spenser', WaT 227, which testifies to the interest which culminated in Warton's Observations on the Faerie Queene of Spenser.

Autograph notebook, containing literary and antiquarian material.

Winchester College, MS 111/9, is a notebook beginnning with drafts of a sermon which appears to have been intended for the anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot, WaT 424. This is followed by drafts of a Latin lecture, 'De Epigrammatica Graecorum', WaT 282, one of the series which Warton delivered as Professor of Poetry at Oxford, see also below. Among the other contents are Warton's drafts of his Latin translations of Greek epigrams, including several of those which appeared posthumously in Poems (1791) and in Mant, WaT 12, 19-21, 24, 75-6, 91-2, but also some still unpublished examples, WaT 5, 89, 94, 181-2. These translations seem to have been made originally for use in Warton's lectures, and consequently it comes as no surprise to find drafts of them and of a lecture 'De Epigrammata Graecorum' in the same MS. Also in this notebook are his transcripts of some of the Roman inscriptions which he edited as Inscriptionum Romanarum Metricarum Delectus (1758), WaT 463, and of three inscriptions which were not included in the published selection. At the back of the notebook are another draft fragment of a sermon, on Luke 9.55, WaT 441, and some Latin notes and excerpts from Pearce's edition of Cicero, followed by two pages of what may be an original essay or lecture by Warton, WaT 231.

Collins, miscellaneous' is a series of references and allusions to Shakespeare, Delia Casa, Sannazaro and others, apparently obtained through William Collins who owned a large literary and antiquarian collection to which Warton enjoyed access. Recurring subjects include French Renaissance poetry and pastorals in Greek, Latin, and Italian, including the related genre of 'Piscatory Eclogues', WaT 335 and 344. Other topics which appear are Chaucer's prose, WaT 211, and a list of names and headings which seems to relate to Warton's biography of Ralph Bathurst, WaT 320. 'Schemes for the Press' and 'For Odes', WaT 408, refer to Warton's own literary projects. [Untitled] Autograph notebook, 17 leaves. No publication traced.

This is not in Joseph Warton's hand, although some of the entries made at the back of the volume are, see his section. On the opening pages is the 'Calendarium Doctorum or A Calendar: contayning the Births and Obits of ye most famous writers of Britain: viz. Poets, Historians, & others', WaT 208. This is followed by an incomplete list of of English poets, names beginning with 'A' and 'B' only, ruled in columns for name, place and date of birth, profession and date of death. On ff. 9v-l 1 is Warton's transcript of one of Milton's Latin poems, 'Ad loannem Rousium Oxoniensis Academiae Bibliothecarium, de libro poematum amisso quern ille sibi denno mitti postulabat, ut cum aliis nostris in Bibliotheca publica reponeret, Ode Joannis Milton', followed by notes on the verse form, and dated '10 mo. Cal. Aprilis 1749/50'. After this comes another transcript by Warton, of a visionary dialogue with the 'Ladie Vipoio' by John Lane, dated '[Jan. 23 1763]', ff. llv-12v. The last of Thomas Warton's entries is headed 'loannes Miltonus', and begins with a discussion of the nature of classical imitation, WaT 271.

The notebook Bodleian, MS Dep.d.616, contains drafts of Warton's last two laureate odes for George Ill's birthdays in 1789 and 1790. There are four drafts of the first strophe of what became 'For His Majesty's Birth-Day, June 4th, 1790', WaT 132, followed by drafts of the subsequent strophes, WaT 133; but this series of drafts is actually headed and dated 'Birth-day Ode 1789 (Oct. 11. 1788)', and then followed by another draft headed 'Birth Day 1790', WaT 134. Warton must have drafted this ode originally for the 1789 royal birthday, laid it aside, but then took up the poem again for the following year.

THOMAS WARTON THE YOUNGER of Spenser, Fairer is able to trace how Warton came slowly to the History through contemplating a whole series of possible literary projects. 'Notebook B', WaT 244, shows Warton collecting materials for an anthology of Renaissance verse, apparently to be called 'Select Pieces of Ancient Poetry' (the transcripts in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.640, above may have been made with this in view). 'Notebook D', WaT 246, contains formal notes for 'Letters on Ancient Literature'; as Fairer remarks, these would have been concerned with English literature before the Norman Conquest, which is not covered by the History. Turning to the annotated 1617 folio of Spenser, it is evident that Warton originally contemplated an edition, because, as Fairer points out, some of Warton's notes are injunctions to himself to insert editorial commentary; but finding that he had amassed too much material, Warton decided upon the discursive form of the Observations. The annotations show that he contemplated following up the Observations on the Faerie Queene with a companion volume on Spenser's Shepheardes Calender, and as an alternative project an 'An Essay on the rise and progress of allegoric poetry in England'. Fairer quotes a letter from Warton to Richard Hurd, 22 October 1762, which shows that an edition of Chaucer was yet another possibility entertained during these years. It was through all these that Warton eventually came to his History and a full realisation of what it would entail.

Warton's 'Inscription'. This is not at all convincing. The MS text is only three lines as opposed to the two quatrains of the published text, and such verbal resemblances as there are can easily be accounted for by their being translations of the same Greek poem. In the present writer's judgment, none of the contents of this notebook are in Warton's hand. Finally Warton's 'An Inscription...' was published in 1748, many years before the appearance of Brunck's edition of Analecta veterum poetarum grcecorum, 3 vols (Argentorati, 1772-6), from which these transcripts and translations were ostensibly made. Observations on the Faerie Queene of Spenser, and The History of English Poetry The MSS relating to the two works on which Warton's reputation as a literary historian rests call for separate discussion. For the Observations, there survive two notebooks containing drafts and notes, WaT 381-2, and Warton's heavily annotated copy of the 1617 folio edition of Spenser's Works, WaT 380, now in the British Library. A variety of materials relating to The History of English Poetry are extant, of which the most interesting are six notebooks now in the Bodleian, WaT 243-8, which have been shown to belong to the genesis of the work, and some MSS for the unfinished Vol. IV, WaT 261-3. The six notebooks have been described in a valuable article by David Fairer, The Origins of Warton's History of English Poetry', RES, n.s., 32 (1981), 37-63, where they are designated 'A-F'. By comparison of their contents with the Bodleian's records of Warton's requests for books and MSS during the 1750s, an exceptional number by the standards of the time, Fairer is able to offer plausible datings which modify the previous assumptions about the commencement of the History and its relation to the Observations. Most previous scholars had seen the germ of the History in a digression on the medieval tradition of allegorical poetry found in the first edition of Observations, pp. 227-39; and the 'Plan of a History of English Poetry' in WaT 243, which Fairer calls 'Notebook A', was thought to postdate this digression.

Turning to the MSS which relate to the unfinished Vol. IV of the History, it is commonly stated that eleven sheets, some 88 pages were actually set and printed in Warton's lifetime, but their text was not published until 1806. A notebook at Winchester College contains synopses of sections i-xvii of Vol. IV, WaT 261. Also at Winchester College is an even more interesting item, Warton's revised fair copy of a further section of Vol. IV, headed 'Hist. Engl. Poet. A. from page 88— printed', with the text beginning 'Page 89....', WaT 262; this has been published as Thomas Warton, A History of English Poetry: an Unpublished Continuation, edited, with an Introduction, by Rodney M. Baine, Augustan Reprint Society Publications No. 39 (Los Angeles, 1953). Furthermore, in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.640, there are proof sheets of some seven pages paginated 97-103, which can only be for Vol. IV, corrected in Warton's hand, WaT 263; this shows that at least a few more pages of Vol. IV besides 1-88 were set by the printer.

Fairer, however, dates the 'Plan of the History of English Poetry' in 'Notebook A' to the early 1750s, before the first edition of the Observations; the 'Plan' therefore is not a groundwork for the History as we now know it, although the anticipation of the latter's title is striking, nor can it be held even to represent Warton's views on literary history during the 1760s. In fact with the help of the other notebooks and the annotated copy

buildings visited; and are no further digested or arranged than according to the alphabetical order of counties and places. These, when completed, were to have been the body of the work: but the promised preface, containing a general and digested history, it is to be feared, will not be found'.

Antiquarian and travel notebooks, and related works The amount of MS material assembled by Warton during his antiquarian researches, whether in Oxford, during vacations spent at Winchester College where Joseph was Headmaster, or on leisurely summer tours of the south of England, is extremely voluminous. Besides the many notebooks containing miscellaneous 'collections', three completed and as many projected works grew out of these researches. The former were the Specimen of a History of Oxfordshire of 1782, a local history of Warton's own parish of Kiddington, of which there remain in the Bodleian two notebooks containing drafts, WaT 410-11, and Warton's corrected copy of the second edition, WaT 412; The History and Description of Guildford (Guildford, 1777), of which a copy of the first edition with Warton's own annotations is also in the Bodleian, WaT 242; and A Description of the City, College, and Cathedral of Winchester [1750?], for which the only extant MSS just possibly connected with the finished work are two leaves of collections relating to Winchester and Basingstoke, WaT 215-16. The projected works were a 'History of St Elizabeth's College, Winchester'; an edition of the household expenses of William of Wykeham; and the most ambitious, 'Observations Critical and Historical on Churches, Monasteries, Castles, and Other Monuments of Antiquity In Various Counties of England and Wales'.

The notebooks were next described in an unsigned article by Henry Boyle Lee, 'Thomas Warton', Cornhill Magazine, 11 (1865), 733-42. Lee writes of four notebooks in Warton's hand, an enlarged autograph fair copy in eight notebooks, and a further transcription in eight notebooks but in the hand of Jane Warton. They are stated to have come into the possesion of the writer 'by the decease of a near relative of Warton and himself. After a passing mention in Sir Sidney Lee's DNB article on Thomas Warton, where the owner is named as Miss M.S. Lee, the next full description of the notebooks is to be found in Rinaker, pp. 146-51. At this date, 1916, the owner was now stated to be Miss Catherine H. Lee, a great grand-daughter of Joseph Warton. The notebooks are now in the library of Winchester College, having been donated by A.C. Lee. The general descriptions given by Mant and Rinaker are not inaccurate in some respects: there are four autograph notebooks containing architectural notes, some illustrated with sketches, taken during Warton's vacation tours over the years 1759-73, entitled 'Itineraria' and numbered i-iv, WaT 356-9, which have been expanded and transcribed twice into two sets of notebooks, each numbered i-viii, WaT 360-7 and 372-9; the material forms a series of independent descriptions of buildings, organised only according to location; and as both Mant and Rinaker remarked, this is an assembly of material for future publication which can hardly be described as copy prepared for the press. But there are four notebooks which are not mentioned by Rinaker, or by Henry Boyle Lee, another set numbered 'i-iv', WaT 368-71. These, as well as the second set of notebooks 'i-viii' are in a hand which is probably that of Jane Warton.

The earliest reference to this last work comes in a footnote to the second dissertation prefixed to The History of English Poetry, I, sig. 2f, where Warton mentions 'a work now preparing for the press, intitled "Observations Critical and Historical, on Castles, Churches, Monasteries, and other Monuments of Antiquity in various parts of England". To which will be prefixed "The History of Architecture in England'"; and in Vol. Ill, xxii, he speaks in passing of 'my History of Gothic Architecture in England'. Mant, I, xxii-xxxiii, reports that John Price had found among Warton's papers 'one written out fairly for the press, and with directions to the printer, containing a History of Saxon and Gothic Architecture', which Price had passed to Joseph Warton. Mant notes that John Warton had no knowledge of a MS as thus described; what he did possess were some notebooks in his uncle's hand, the contents of which had been assembled during summer excursions. Mant continues, 'they do not seem to make a whole, but give independent accounts of the several

Of the other two projected works which arose out of Warton's antiquarian studies, the extant MSS for the 'History of St Elizabeth's College at Winchester' are two notebooks in the Bodleian, WaT 264-5. As to the edition of the household expenses of William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester and founder of Winchester College, Mant, I, Ixxvi-lxxvii, quotes a letter from Warton to Price, Winchester, 22 September 1778, 'I have borrowed from the muniment house of this college a most curious roll of W. Wykeham's house-keeping expences for the year 1394... I am making an abstract of it, which I believe I shall publish'. Warton's extracts

from the roll, now Winchester College Muniments, Domus I, 1, are found in a notebook of 28 leaves, WaT 506, in the Bodleian. It is signed and dated 1778, and entitled 'A Specimen of a Roll containing the household Accounts of William of Wykeham Bishop of Winchester for one Half of the year 1394'. Warton does not seem to have progressed farther than transcribing this and other material from the Winchester College Muniments; accordingly the entry has been placed in the Diaries and Notebooks section, rather than listing the projected edition among the Prose.

Other notebooks at the Bodleian and Winchester College contain drafts for some of the Crewian Orations delivered by Warton on the annual Commemoration of Benefactors of Oxford University. The years for which MSS of the Orations survive are as follows: 1757, WaT 384-5; 1759, WaT 386; 1761, WaT 387; 1763, WaT 38890; and 1765, WaT 391. Two other notebooks contain drafts of Warton's inaugural and only lecture as Camden Professor of Ancient History, 'Oratio Inauguralis Habita in Schola Historiae Oxonii, Maii Die Quinto. A.D. 1786 , WaT 393-4.

Academic Notebooks, and Works edited by Thomas Warton the Younger Because Warton's activities as a university teacher and as an editor of classical texts are closely related, it is convenient to treat these together. Warton's tenure of the Professorship of Poetry, the chair once held by his father, was remarkable firstly in that he lectured with a conscientious regularity not always observed by eighteenth-century professors; and secondly in that he chose to concentrate on Greek literature. Some two-thirds of the forty lectures which he delivered are still extant in MS notebooks, whether at Winchester College or in the Bodleian. As was noted in the description above of Winchester College, MS 111/9, a draft of the lecture 'De Epigrammata Graecorum', WaT 282, can be found in the same notebook as Warton's Latin translations of Greek epigrams, originally made for use in the course of the lectures; and this same notebook also contains Warton's transcripts of some eight of the Roman funerary inscriptions which he edited as Inscriptionum Romanarum Metricarum Delectus (London, 1758), WaT 463.

Sermons Much of what has been said of Joseph Warton's sermons also applies to those of his brother. Joseph and Thomas often exchanged sermons, which they would both deliver on more than one occasion, and after their deaths their sermons continued to be used by Joseph's son John. This is clear from the notes on the dates and places of preaching which are subscribed to many of the MSS in the hands of all three. As in the Joseph Warton section, the sermons are listed alphabetically according to their text, or where that cannot be identified, their theme, and one sermon has been given entries in both the Joseph Warton and Thomas Warton the younger sections, WaJ 293 and WaT 425. The MS of this sermon, on I Corinthians 1.20, is written in Thomas Warton's hand and has been thoroughly revised by him, but a note has been appended by Joseph which states that he wrote the sermon and gave it to his brother. Because Thomas clearly rewrote and not simply transcribed the sermon, it surely has to be treated as a case of joint authorship.

Only one of the lectures was published, 'De carmine Bucolico Graecorum', adapted as the 'Dissertatio de Poesi Bucolica Graecorum' prefixed to Warton's edition of Theocritus, Theocriti Syracusii quae supersunt, two vols (Oxford, 1770). Apart from the drafts of this lecture 'De carmine Bucolico Graecorum', WaT 290-3, there are five extant items with a more direct relation to the edition of Theocritus. Winchester College, MS 110, contains part of a Latin commentary with a note by Warton which explains that it had passed from a Dr Morris of Hertford through the recently deceased Librarian of the Bodleian to Warton himself; bound following is Warton's own commentary in Greek on Idylls VII-XV, WaT 467. The other MSS are Latin notes, WaT 468-9, a commentary in Greek and Latin on Theocritus's epigrams, WaT 470, some rough notes on Epigram XII, WaT 471, and a transcript and Latin translation of Epigram IX, WaT 472. As for MSS relating to Warton's

Correspondence

The recent appearance of a splendid edition, The Correspondence of Thomas Warton, edited by David Fairer (Athens, GA, 1995), based on David Fairer's 'The Correspondence of Thomas Warton', D.Phil, dissertation, Oxford, 1974, makes comment by the present writer largely superfluous. Previously, individual letters had been published, either entire or excerpted, in Mant's biographical memoir and in Rinaker; and some letters have been published in editions of the correspondence of other writers. A batch of Warton's letters to some of his scholarly correspondents was published in Clarissa Rinaker, 'Twenty-Six Unedited Letters from Thomas

A particularly important part of the correspondence was published in The Percy Letters, Vol. 3, The Correspondence of Thomas Percy and Thomas Warton, edited by M.G. Robinson and Leah Dennis (Baton Rouge, 1951). See also Leah Dennis's previous article, The Text of the Percy-Warton Letters', PMLA, 46 (1931), 1166-1201, which published 31 letters from Warton to Percy, including a facsimile of a letter of 5 December 1764, and four from Percy to Warton. Another article by Leah Dennis, 'Correspondence of Thomas Warton', Bodleian Quarterly Record, 6 (1931), 303-7, published nine letters from Warton to Richard Hurd, and one from Hurd to Warton, 1762-85, preserved at Hartlebury Castle.

Miscellaneous A copy of A Specimen of a Parochial History of Oxfordshire, signed by Warton and dated January 1782, is at Winchester College. Warton's copy of an unidentified edition of Thomas Percy's The Hermit of Warkworth, lacking its title-page, is at Yale, Osborn.pc.194. Percy's autograph notes on the first edition of Observations on the Faerie Queene of Spenser, and his marginalia in his copy of The History of English Poetry, are listed in his section, PeT 369 and 708 respectively. The diploma for the degree of D.C.L. granted to Samuel Johnson by the University of Oxford in 1775, composed by Warton, is now Bodleian, MS Lat.misc.c.61. The seal is missing, and f. 3 is a transcript for the printer annotated by James Bos well.

Repositories of Walton's letters include: Alnwick Castle; the Bodleian; Boston Public Library; the British Library; the collection of Lady Eccles, formerly Dr Mary Hyde, (see Adam Library, III, 254); Folger; Harvard; Iowa State Historical Library; National Library of Scotland; New College, Oxford; Pierpont Morgan; Princeton, Robert H. Taylor Collection; Yale, Osborn.

Some verse by Joshua Childrey, given to Warton by Browne Willis in 1754, can be found in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.644, f. 36, along with other literary MSS of friends and contemporaries of the Warton brothers; see the Introduction to the Joseph Warton section, 'Manuscripts of other authors among the Warton Papers', for a full account of this MS.

Marginalia

A copy of Warton's Life of Sir Thomas Pope, annotated by William Cole, is now in the Bodleian, Gough Oxfordshire 38.

Walton's library was auctioned in 1791 after his death, and, excepting the copy of Spenser which he annotated in the course of preparing Observations on the Faerie Queene and The History of English Poetry, only two books with his marginalia have been traced in the course of the present enquiry, WaT 510-11. Among the medieval MSS at Trinity College, Oxford, there are a few which are known to have been owned by Warton, and one of these, WaT 509, has a long descriptive note in his hand explaining that the MS consists of transcriptions of the annual accounts of Maxtoke Priory for the middle of the fifteenth century. Extracts from this MS made by Warton can be found in a notebook, WaT 486, now in the Bodleian, MS Dep. d.646.

Warton is known to have helped his fellow literary historian Thomas Percy with the Reliques of Ancient English Poetry, but very little MS evidence of his assistance survives among the Percy Papers at Harvard, bMS Eng.893. The only items relating to the Reliques in Warton's hand are some corrections and notes to Percy's transcript of 'Upon the Battle of Agincourt', WaT 512, and some collations of 'King Ryence' supplied by Warton at Percy's request. The Harvard Percy Papers do include, however, Warton's fair copy of his own poem, 'Ben Tyrell's, Wednesday Night, December 6th, 1758', attributed and here dated 1762 in Percy's hand, WaT 16.

Isaac Watts 1674-1748

The surviving autograph MSS of Isaac Watts are important in three respects: they contain what are evidently pre-publication texts of poems which were printed in Watts's lifetime; they settle conclusively the question of the authenticity of most of the poems published in the 1779 collection Posthumous Works; and they include many unpublished poems. Likewise the extant MSS of Watts's prose and sermons consist for the most part of unpublished material.

To understand the issues involved, it is necessary to trace the publication history of Watts's works after his death. Philip Doddridge and David Jennings edited and prepared the Works of 1753, including previously unpublished prose works taken from MS; otherwise they appear to have reprinted the texts from published sources. Doddridge and Jennings had access to other MSS, including Watts's later writings on the doctrine of the Trinity, which they sifted through and destroyed as unfit for publication. This is described, with a list of the MSS probably so destroyed, in Milner, Appendix I, pp. 275-6.

1780), Appendix No. II, pp. 481-91. Gibbons points out that the first nine poems in Posthumous Works had actually appeared in superior versions in Hymns and Spiritual Songs, and that one of them is a clumsy conflation of two poems from that collection. Furthermore 'A Birth-Day Thought', beginning 'Worn with the toils of threescore years and five', Posthumous Works, I, 167, appears earlier in the volume, p. 28, attributed to Watts's father as 'A Poem by Isaac Watts, Senior, when he was fourscore Years old', the first line reading 'Worn with the toils of fourscore years and five'. Gibbons concedes, quite fairly, that 'On Lady Sunderland', which had been published as a broadside by Edmund Curll in 1712, is by Watts; but he denounces the remaining contents as simply not good enough to be authentic. To support his argument, he asks why Watts did not include these poems in the 1734 collection of his juvenilia, Reliquice Juveniles; and in particular queries whether Watts would have held back such a personal poem as the elegy on his sister Elizabeth Watts, who died in infancy. Also, according to Gibbons, Watts was known to have owned a MS volume of verse written by his father, who Gibbons believes was probably the real author of these poems.

There then appeared the collection The Posthumous Works of the Late Learned and Reverend Isaac Watts, D.D., Compiled from Papers in Possession of His Immediate Successors: Adjusted and Published by a Gentleman of the University of Cambridge, 2 vols (London, 1779), containing a large number of previously unpublished poems and four sermons. It is still unknown who the 'Gentleman of the University of Cambridge' was, or who exactly was meant by Watts's 'Immediate Successors'. Almost at once, Posthumous Works was subjected to a sustained attack by Thomas Gibbons in his Memoirs of the Rev. Isaac Watts, D.D. (London,

There has been remarkably little modern discussion of the question, and most of Watts's Victorian and twentieth-century biographers appear to have accepted Gibbons's case almost tacitly. Two important exceptions are the sensible discussions in Davis, Appendix B, The Poetry of the Posthumous Works', pp. 239-42 and by J.H.P. Pafford in his facsimile edition of Divine Songs (London, 1971). Davis acknowledged that Posthumous Works 'is a shoddy production', but argued from internal, stylistic evidence that 'about twenty-five or roughly one-fourth' of the poems might have been written by Watts's father, but the remainder were authentic.

did not make recourse to MSS of Watts, but Pafford had seen the autograph fair copies of Watts's elegies upon his two sisters, both the elegy on Elizabeth which had been included in Posthumous Works, and an unpublished elegy on another sister Martha, Wai 83 and Wai 84. Pafford included both poems in his edition, and argued that the MSS pointed to the authenticity of the other verse in Posthumous Works.

now part of a large volume which also includes eight autograph letters by Watts and six letters to Watts and Philip Doddridge, which have been inlaid to larger paper and bound together. For details of these letters, see below.

It is the existence of three other autograph MSS elsewhere which establishes firmly Watts's authorship of many of the poems in Posthumous Works. Unfortunately there is little information as to the provenance of these MSS. It is likely, however, that they were not themselves the immediate sources for Posthumous Works which, discounting the first nine and the poem apparently by Watts's father, contains 26 poems not found in any extant MS; and on the other hand the MSS contain poems which are still unpublished.

Contents: Wai 17, 28, 45-50, 58, 61, 90, 98, 117. Pierpont Morgan, MA 514. The third MS to include poems found in Posthumous Works is at the Huntington. It is now bound in blue morocco with the bookplate of William K. Bixby, being probably acquired along with other MSS from Bixby's library through G.D. Smith in 1918. It contains texts of the well-known The Sluggard', Wai 118, which appeared in Divine Songs, an unpublished poem entitled 'Faith and Diffidence', Wai 19, as well as 'The Soul' and 'Written in the seventy-first Year of his Age' from Posthumous Works, Wai 121 and 137.

The largest of the three MSS is entitled 'Divine Miscellanies', now in the James Fraser Gluck Collection at Buffalo and Erie County Public Library. Its contents include 23 unpublished poems, and 28 of the poems which appeared in Posthumous Works. Two significant differences between the MS and the printed texts should be noted: in the sequence of four sonnets, Wai 30, 112, 120, and 125, the '3 Sonnet' of the MS does not correspond to the 'Third Sonnet' of Posthumous Works, but is an entirely different poem; and in the MS the four sonnets are appended to a long unpublished poem entitled 'Prison Comforts & encouragements', Wai 104.

Yale, Osborn.c.180, contains transcripts of some 69 poems by Watts, mostly from Hymns and Spiritual Songs; it is entitled 'A Collection of Hymns From Dr Watts; Doddridge; And Others— Being A Supplement to A larger Collection', dated 'Westharptree Written in the Year, 1771', and again on the last page 'October 3d. 1787'. A partial transcript in an unidentified hand of True Riches', lines 21-44 only, is in Yale, Osborn.c.186, p. 25; it is headed 'Miss M.B.

A transcript of 'Frail Life, and succeeding Eternity', here entitled 'Hymn. On Time & Eternity', in the hand of Mary Madan in a commonplace book begun by her in 1797, can be found in Bodleian, MS Eng.poet.c.51, p. 99.

The MS consisted of ten pages, ruled in double columns: it was the right-hand column which was headed 'Memorable Affairs in my Life', and contained autobiographical notes beginning with Watts's birth on 17 July 1764 and ending with the deaths of his friends Lady Hartopp and Mrs Gould in November 1711; the left-hand column was headed 'Coincidents', and contained notes of major public events which happened over the same period. Neither Milner nor Hood give the location of the MS, and although it is frequently cited by subsequent biographers, one suspects that they are using the text given by Hood. Bodleian, MS Eng.misc.f.82, contains transcripts of the first three of the four sermons on Isaiah, 57.17-18, Wai 161-3, printed in Posthumous Works, II. The transcripts have Watts's autograph corrections and the sermons are dated 1707, which is still further proof that the contents of Posthumous Works are authentic, and for the most part of early date. An exceptionally important collection of Watts's prose and sermons was sold at Sotheby's, 14 December 1976, Lot 121, unfortunately at present unlocated. The MSS, Wai 139, 142, 145-9, 151, 153-4, and 157-60, were bound together as 'Wattiana: Manuscript Remains of the Rev. Isaac Watts, D.D. from the Library of Mr. Joseph Parker, his Amanuensis', apparently for J. Wilton Rix in the nineteenth-century. It would appear that they passed down to Rix with other MSS and books owned by Watts through Parker's descendants. They are described as mostly in Parker's hand, but with Watts's autograph revisions. Most of the sermons appear to be unpublished, and especially noteworthy is a sermon delivered 25 September 1748, Wai 153-4, shortly before Watts's death. It is possible that 'A Short Catechism for the Children of Protestant Dissenters', a transcript of three pages in an unidentified hand, Wai 149, should be identified with one of the two simplified catechisms published by Watts in Catechisms: or, Instructions in the Principles of the Christian Religion, and the History of Scripture, Composed for Children and Youth, According to Their Different Ages (London, 1730), more likely the shorter 'Young Child's Catechism'; but in the absence of the MS it is impossible to be sure. Besides works by

Some of these collections of transcripts are in shorthand. One such is at Yale, The Psalms of David, Imitated in ye Language of the New Testament and applyed to the Christian State & Worship. By I. Watts 1729. Hale scrips.'. A later shorthand transcript of Watts's Psalms and hymns, dated 1785, is at the Iowa State Historical Library. Transcripts of selections from Watts's version of the Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs in Metcalf's (or possibly Clayton's) shorthand can be found in British Library, Add. MS 28864, followed by a series of musical settings. Another collection of transcripts in shorthand of Watts's Psalms and hymns is now British Library, Add. MS 29286. Prose and Sermons Two of the extant MSS of Watts's prose writings are still unpublished. One is a short religious meditation, The uneasie Worm', Wai 150, and an untitled MS beginning The foundation of ye art of dialling...', Wai 141. The latter is concerned with the astronomical and mathematical problems in making sundials, and is illustrated by diagrams and tables, see FACS.

ISAAC WATTS

to Thomas Bradbury, 26 February 1725;

Watts, the volume contains: a 'Sermon Preach'd by the Revd. Mr Goodwin... March 27th 1736/7 And repeated in my Lady Abneys Family ye same Evening'; a MS in the hand of Sir Thomas Abney; a fragment of a letter by Edward Abney; an acrostic poem by Samuel Bull on the name of John Gunston, Lady Mary Abney's father; contemporary pamphlets; the sale catalogue of Joseph Parker's library; letters by Joseph Parker the younger and others; and numerous transcripts by Rix.

probably to John Asty, 8 August 1728; to Philip Doddridge, 20 May 1732, and 11 February 1743; to an unidentified recipient, 25 February 1734; probably to William Duncombe, 9 March 1735; 'To the church of Christ assembled in Mark-Lane', 8 February 1702, a letter to his congregation on his religious principles.

At the Bodleian, MS Eng.th.f.37, are transcripts made by or for Thomas Bucke, dated 1728, of Two Sermons on Our Appearance before God here and hereafter. Delivered in Sir Thomas Abney's Family at Theobalds, in Hertfordshire; at the Evening-Worship, Nov. 25 and Decemb. 9. 1716', including both a Dedication and 'A Divine Hymn. Suited to the Subject' ('While I am banish'd from thy House'). Given the wording and layout of their title-page and headings, these transcripts have all the appearance of being made from Sermons on Various Subjects (London, 1721) or one of its subsequent reprints, and they have not been given entries accordingly.

The volume also contains the following letters addressed to Watts, and to Philip Doddridge: from Enoch Watts, March 1700; from Nathaniel Neal to Doddridge, 15 October 1743; from Charles Castiglione, 6 November 1738; from William Fuller, 15 September 1740; from Francis Lee, 10 June 1738; from Joseph Parker to Doddridge, 22 November and 22 December 1748.

Letters Early publication of some of Watts's letters can be found in the following: Gibbons; Posthumous Works, II; Milner; in The Correspondence of Philip Doddridge (London, 1830); and in Wright. Most but not all of the letters among the Belknap and Colman Papers held by the Massachusetts Historical Society have been published in Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 2nd Sen, 9 (1895), 331-410. Checklists of Watts's letters have been published in Wright, Appendix II, pp. 272-76, and a much more useful one in Davis, Appendix, A, pp. 230-8. Of the following, however, only the extended letters to Watts's congregation at Bury Street Church, and the two autograph letters to Doddridge in the Bodleian, appear in Davis's list.

Other letters by Watts at the Pierpont Morgan include four letters to Edmund Gibson, 1738-42, MA 158, to his brother Enoch, 24 April 1731, Thane-Paston Collection, to an unidentified recipient, 22 December 1731, and to Daniel Gerdes, 28 January 1746, Sussex Collection. A letter to Philip Doddridge, 19 January 1738, is at Colorado College, and a letter to Thomas Foxcroft of Boston, 28 January 1740, is at Boston University. A letter from Watts to a Mrs Fay, 15 April 1701, is in the Frank Baker Collection of Wesleyana and British Methodism at Duke University. There are seven letters by Watts at Yale, Osborn. Bodleian, MS Montagu.d.18, contains two letters from Watts to Doddridge, 1 March 1740, f. 141, and 25 May 1742, both recorded in Davis. Two letters by Watts, to Mr Say, 28 January 1737, and to the Rev Broughton, 14 July 1748, are at Hackney Archives Department, M3840 and M3841 respectively, together with a typewritten copy of a letter to Watts from his brother Enoch, March 1700, M3839. There is a transcript in an unidentified hand of a letter from Watts to the Countess of Hertford, 12 September 1727, in Lady Hertford's 'A Miscellany of Verse and Prose Begun March the 5 1725/6', Alnwick Castle, Alnwick MS 116, pp. 80-1. Finally, a letter to Philip Doddridge, signed by Watts, 17 January 1744, was auctioned at Swann Galleries, 13 September 1994, Lot 337.

Three autograph letters to the Church in Bury Street, 4 November 1713, 6 August 1715, and 14 April 1716, are at Dr Williams's Library, MS 12.56(17-19). Also at Dr Williams's Library are transcripts of these three letters, and of further letters to the Bury Street congregation, 3 April 1714, 21 November 1716, 29 January 1718, and 12 February 1718. Pierpont Morgan, MA 514, contains the following autograph letters by Watts, bound with the verse MS described above: to Edmund Gibson, Bishop of London, 30 June 1738;

and elaborate, especially capitals; but it too has certain features of secretary hand.

An autograph 'Note', reading 'These sermons are not perfectly Corrected, nor written out for the publick, tho they are cast into such a form as might give some occasion for such a supposition', signed 'I. Watts', is now at Boston University. Previously in the collection of J. Dawson Turner, it was sold by Theodore Hofmann to Paul Richards, May 1976. What sermons are referred to, is unknown.

Watts's autograph transcription of Thomas Gouge, The Principles of Christian Religion or an Abridgement of the Assembly's Shorter Catechism (1678), was sold at Sotheby's, 26 October 1971, Lot 451 to J. DouglasApps; it is now owned by William Rees-Mogg. A transcript in shorthand of 'A Practical Exposition of Dr Watts's first Catechism adopted to the capacities of Children', in a volume of religious 'Miscellanies' bound together in 1828 according to the title-page, is at Dr Williams's Library, MS 28.87, pp. 87-91.

University of Southampton Library holds two copies of the Bible, both with Watts family associations. The first is a large 1614 edition in which Isaac Watts the father has entered his own date of birth and those of his children. The second, a 1661 edition, has traditionally been described as belonging to the younger Isaac Watts. The front endpaper appears to have come loose at an early date, and its current recto is inscribed 'Isaac Watts 1669'. A poem entitled 'Contemplations' is written on the recto of the first fly-leaf, and continues on the recto of the next leaf, where it is followed by a poem with the name Isaac Watts formed by the initials of the middle word of each line. On the verso of this second fly-leaf is another acrostic poem, which like the first is headed 'Acrostick petitions', with the first letters of each line forming the name Isaac Watts. The date clearly points to Isaac Watts the father as the original owner of the Bible, but the verses have commonly been attributed to his son. There are facsimiles of the first and third poems in David Fountain, Isaac Watts Remembered, second edition (Harpenden, 1978), facing p. 57. The letter formation shows a few but recurring features of secretary hand which Isaac Watts the son very rarely uses, nor does it resemble his hand in other respects. It may reasonably be presumed that the hand is that of Isaac Watts the father, and that he is the author of these poems.

A dedication copy of A Guide to Prayer (London, 1715), given to Sir Thomas Abney, was auctioned at Christie's, 19 December 1984, sold to Quaritch. A presentation copy of the first edition of Divine Songs (1715) is at the Pierpont Morgan; and a presentation copy of the eighth edition (1727), inscribed 'To my Dear Neece Sarah Brackstone', is at Harvard, *EC7.W3494.D. A presentation copy of Horce Lyricce (1706) to the Rev Samuel Say, 28 December 1705, is at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild, no. 2530, with a facsimile of the inscription. Watts's large donation of books, including copies of his own works, to Yale College is described in Anne S. Pratt, Isaac Watts and His Gift of Books to Yale College, Yale University Library Miscellanies No. 2 (New Haven, 1938), which lists and gives bibliographical descriptions of the surviving books, pp. 75-114. Pratt's monograph includes a facsimile of Watts's inscription in a copy of The Redeemer and the Sanctifier (London, 1736), facing p. 28, and a facsimile of a letter from Watts to Elisha Williams, Rector of Yale, 6 September 1733, facing p. 24. Another facsimile of this letter is published in DLB 95, Eighteenth-Century British Poets: First Series, edited by John Sitter (Detroit, 1990), p. 340.

Wright, pp. 4-5, describes a MS 'Sum Book', lent to him by Miss Mary B. Palmer, Hook End House, Checkendon, near Reading. According to his account it was dated 1664 and contained arithmetical exercises, aphorisms, and 'lengthy citations from Latin authors including the story of Pyramus and Thisbe from Ovid's Metamorphoses', all in the hand of Isaac Watts the father. It has not been located in the present enquiry. What appears to be a page from this 'Sum Book', to judge by comparison with the facsimile in Wright, facing p. 4, is in Bodleian, MS Montagu.d.16, f. 198. Its recto is headed 'Multiplication in fractions', the verso 'Division in fractions', and it is inscribed The Writing of Mr. Isaac Watts— Father of the Revd. Dr. Isaac Watts, about 1662'. The hand has a different appearance from that found in the University of Southampton Bible, small

Watts's copy of John Locke's A Common-Place-Book to the Holy Bible: or, the Scripture's Sufficiency Practically Demonstrated, third edition (London, 1725), with his signature and dated 'pret 7: 1725', is at Hackney Archives Department. His copy of Collection of the Promises of Scripture (London, 1720), with his signature on the flyleaf, is at the Pierpont Morgan. The Frank Baker Collection of Wesleyana and British Methodism at Duke University Library includes eight volumes, mostly in shorthand, of MSS which belonged to Joseph Parker. Although none of this material needs be attributed to Watts, it has clearly an association interest. Their contents include the following: a sermon dated 31 December 1775 and 6 July 1778; two volumes of

extracts from the Bible, the first containing extracts from Genesis through Joel, the second Amos through Acts; three volumes of the diary, 1749-53, of Sarah Ashurst, containing spiritual reflections or discussion of theological points; two of Parker's letterbooks, containing shorthand copies of personal and business letters; and a volume of extracts from Epictetus, Richard Baxter, William Law, John Tillotson and others, upon such topics as faith, humility, love, providence, and friendship.

Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea 1661-1720

Gosse-Folger volume as the 'Folio MS', and to the Finch-Hatton volume as the 'Octavo MS'.

The earliest mention of Lady Winchilsea's literary MSS occurs in the brief life written by Thomas Birch for A General Dictionary, Historical and Critical, ten vols (London, 1734-41), X, 179. With particular regard to unpublished poems, Birch observes that, 'A great number of her Poems still continue unpublished in the hands of the Reverend Mr Creake, and some in the possession of a Lady of distinguished quality and merit'. The former has since been identified as John Creyk, chaplain to Heneage Finch, Earl of Winchilsea, and apparently one of his executors; and a footnote to Birch identifies the latter as Frances Seymour (nee Thynne), Countess of Hertford, who as a young woman had been part of Lady Winchilsea's circle of friends. A second footnote, 'Among these are the following', serves to introduce a handful of poems which Birch believed he was publishing for the first time. In fact only one of these poems, 'To a Fellow Scribbler', had not been printed before. And there are no poems by Lady Winchilsea among the MSS of Lady Hertford at Alnwick Castle.

Reynolds's edition was obviously a labour of love, and a considerable scholarly achievement at the time. But its limitations have become increasingly evident over the years, although it still remains the standard edition and is used for reference here. It follows its copy texts with a good standard of accuracy, but it is not a critical edition in the true sense of that term; in fact it gives no indication of the choice of copy text, although it is clear on examination that printed text has been given primary authority over MS, and where MS has been used as copy text, the Folio MS has been preferred to the Octavo MS. There is no textual apparatus provided, nor is there any discussion of the relationship of the two MS volumes to each other, and their relationship to the printed texts. The only indication of textual sources, whether MS or printed, is by a series of symbols following the title of each poem in the table of contents; this system invites errors and omissions, and several are duly made. In particular Reynolds was unaware that several poems had been published earlier than Miscellany Poems (1713). Furthermore she indicates a source for 'The Answer', or 'To Mr Pope...', in the 1717 edition of Pope's Works, when it did not in fact appear in that edition but in a miscellany edited by Pope, Poems on Several Occasions (London, 1717); and this latter collection included seven other poems by Lady Winchilsea which Reynolds overlooks entirely. This suggests that Reynolds's copy text for The Answer' is actually that in Birch's Dictionary.

The next reference to the MSS occurs in Edmund Gosse's essay, 'Lady Winchilsea's Poems', in his Gossip in a Library (London, 1891), pp. 119-32. Gosse revealed that he had acquired a large MS volume of poems at a sale in 1884. His own investigation of its provenance revealed that it had belonged to the Creyk family. On Gosse's death it was sold at Sotheby's, 13 May 1929, Lot 150, to the dealers P.J. and A.E. Dobell, who sold it in turn to H.C. Folger. Gosse's MS, together with an octavo MS volume which had remained among the Finch-Hatton papers in the family of the Earls of Nottingham and Winchilsea, was used by Myra Reynolds in her edition of The Poems of Anne, Countess of Winchilsea (Chicago, 1903). Reynolds referred to the

The most unfortunate omission was revealed in an essay prompted by the very publication of Reynolds's edition itself. Edward Dowden's 'A Noble Authoress', in his Essays Modern and Elizabethan (London, 1910), pp.

535

ANNE FINCH, COUNTESS OF WINCHILSEA

234-49, disclosed that he too owned a MS volume of Winchilsea poems, with one exception unpublished. Dowden's essay quoted liberally from the MS, although unfortunately he did not print any single poem entire. At the sale of Dowden's library in 1914, the MS was bought by Professor George Herbert Palmer of Harvard, who presented it to Wellesley College. Three poems from the Dowden-Wellesley MS were first published in full by Helen Sard Hughes, 'Lady Winchilsea and Her Friends', London Mercury, 19 (1929), 624-35; five in Elizabeth Hampsten, 'Poems by Ann Finch', Women's Studies, 1 (1980), 5-19; and four in Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea: Selected Poems, edited by Denys Thompson (Manchester, 1987). It has recently been edited in its entirety by Jean D'Alessandro as The Wellesley Manuscript Poems of Anne, Countess of Winchilsea (Florence, 1988).

James (London, 1701), in two issues with variant titles, and of The Prodigy' as The Tunbridge Prodigy (London, 1706); and of 'A Song on the South Sea' in The Hive (London, 1724). Also the present enquiry has been able to extend the number of known MSS at different locations, giving a fuller picture of the extent of the circulation of the poems, including those which have remained unpublished until this century or even to date. It will be appropriate at this point to describe the three MS volumes. Octavo MS This volume remained in the family of the Earls of Nottingham and Winchilsea. It is currently on deposit with other Finch-Hatton MSS at Northamptonshire Record Office as F.H. 283. It consists presently of 94 leaves, but six leaves have been excised following f. 68; f. 3 is an elaborate title-page reading 'Poems On Several Subjects Written By Ardelia' and with a drawing of a face framed by seraphs' wings, see the facsimile in Carol Barash, The Political Origins of Anne Finch's Poetry', HLQ, 54 (1991), 327-51 (348); The Table' of contents follows on ff. 4-6; ff. 6v-10v are blank; and the text, and with it the pagination, begins on f. 11 (p. 1).

Two theses describe the MSS at length. D.G. Neill, 'Studies for an Edition of the Poems of Anne, Countess of Winchilsea, Consisting of a Bibliography of Her Poems and a Study of All Available MSS', unpublished B.Litt. dissertation, Oxford, 1954, is under permanent restriction and cannot be consulted. But the fullest treatment of the MSS so far is found in W.J. Cameron, 'Anne, Countess of Winchilsea: Materials for the Future Biographer', unpublished Ph.D. dissertation, Victoria University of Wellington, NZ, 1951. Although evidently hampered by being unable to examine personally some of the material, Cameron offered the first detailed description of the three major MS volumes, and also made the first attempt to identify Anne Finch's own formal hand from the MS of an unpublished poem in the Portland Papers at Longleat House. He also called attention to the important transcripts among the Birch papers in British Library, Add. MS 4457, the transcripts by Heneage Finch among Pope's Homer MSS in British Library, Add. MS 4807, and at the Pierpont Morgan, the transcripts of Harleian provenance at the University of Nottingham, Portland MSS, and in British Library, MSS Harley 7316 and Lansdowne 852. For an account of all of these see below. Cameron also records previously unnoticed early printings of several poems from 1691 onwards, in song-books, miscellanies, and periodicals. His findings enabled him to define the canon and establish a possible chronology of the poems in his still valuable Appendix E.

The first 36 poems, pp. 1-87, are entered in what Cameron describes as an Italian script with English e, r, d, p, and final s. He considers this to be a more formal version of the hand employed in a MS at Longleat House, Portland Papers, Vol. 19, ff. 304-5, an unpublished poem entitled 'On a Short Visit inscrib'd to My Lady Worsley', WiA 123, written on a bifolium with its second leaf endorsed, 'Verses By Lady Winchelsea in her own hand', and the letter formation is sufficiently similar to justify Cameron's statement that both this and pp. 1-87 of the Octavo MS are written by the same hand. Also at Longleat, however, in Thynne Papers, Vol. 17, are two letters signed by Anne Finch, described more fully below; and while again there are similarities in letter formation, notably reversed e, initial s, p, and English r, it has to be said that the hand here has a more angular appearance than that which appears in either the Octavo MS or in Portland Papers, Vol. 19; but it does match the hand which has entered the emendations in the Folio MS, which are evidently authorial, and also accepted as autograph by Cameron. On consideration, the present writer has decided that Cameron's identification of the hand in the Octavo MS as Anne Finch's formal or 'best' hand is correct.

Cameron, of course, did not exhaust the subject, and even his bibliography omits some important early printings: six poems in a miscellany of devotional verse, Miscellanea Sacra, edited by Nahum Tate (London, 1696); the separate publication of On the Death of King

The remainder of the volume is written in the hand of Heneage Finch, mostly in his fair copy hand, but comparison with his diary, F.H. 282, authenticates it suffi-

62, 65, 68-9, 76, 79, 81, 91, 93, 97, 105, 109, 112, 116, 126, 128, 132, 135, 139, 143, 147, 153, 157, 162, 173, 175, 177, 179, 181, 184, 186, 188, 191, 193, 195, 199, 201, 203, 215, 221, 230, 250, 253, 265, 283.

ciently. Heneage transcribed some twenty poems, beginning half-way down p. 87, immediately following the last entry in the previous hand. He must have then compiled The Table' of contents, and, Cameron suggests, the title-page may have been drawn at this stage.

No publication of the whole traced; see above for discussion of the hands; individual items printed as copy texts in Reynolds, see individual entries for details; described in Reynolds, pp. Ixxxiii-iv, and as the 'Finch-Hatton MS' in Cameron, Chapter 14, 'Heneage as Editor', pp. 69-75.

Heneage later went through the MS substituting 'Ardelia' for Anne's original pen-name 'Areta', but missing a single instance on p. 70; the alteration of his own poetic name to 'Flavio' is likewise not made with complete consistency. He also made other corrections and substantive emendations, both to his own transcripts, and to Anne's fair copies; these emendations correspond largely to the readings of the Folio MS, which was partly transcribed from the Octavo MS and seems to have superseded it as the major MS collection of Anne's poems. Only one of the poems in the Octavo MS, 'On Myself, WiA 132, was not retranscribed into the Folio MS.

Northamptonshire Record Office, F.H. 283.

Folio MS This volume consists of 155 leaves. Of these, ff. 1-2 are blank; f. 3r is the title-page, reading 'Miscellany Poems With Two Plays by Ardelia', with an epigraph from the 'June' eclogue of Spenser's Shepheardes Calendar, on ff. 3v-4 are transcripts of two commendatory poems, To the Most Ingenious Mrs. Finch On her incomperable Poems' by William Shippen, and 'An Epistle, From Mrs. Randolph To Mrs. Finch: Upon her presenting her with some of her Poems'; ff. 5-7 are the Preface; ff. 8-104 are text. A second title-page reading 'Aditional Poems cheifly Upon Subjects Devine and Moral' is f. 105 (p. 195), followed by further text on ff. 106-21; four leaves have been excised at this point, and the text continues on ff. 122-51; here one leaf has been excised, and text on ff. 152-3; another leaf has been excised, f. 154 is text, and f. 155 is blank.

Two poems, The Grove' and 'A Letter to Mr. Finch from Tunbridge Wells', have been heavily inked over so as to be now almost completely illegible, but partly reconstructed texts can be found in Cameron, WiA 68 and 93. Also two further poems, 'Song' ('Cease Mirtillo') and 'An Answer to Miranda', were written on the now excised pp. 129-40, and are only known from their titles in The Table'. Although, or perhaps because, it had been replaced as the repository for fair copies, Heneage used some of the volume's later leaves for transcribing Anne's Pindaric ode on the hurricane of 1703, WiA 147. Evidently a draft version which underwent substantial revision, this has been entered in his informal hand. The transcript contains passages not found in the published text, some cancelled in the MS, and where extensive rewriting has taken place the new passages have been written on slips which are pasted over the original readings.

Two systems of pagination are in use throughout the volume. The first appears in the bottom inner corner of the oblong formed by the margins at the upper righthand corner of each page; the second appears at the top outer corner of this same oblong. The first pagination begins on f. 8 (p. 1) and continues normally to f. 28v (p. 42), except that pp. 2 and 21-4 are unnumbered; it resumes on f. 41 (p. 59), and continues normally to f. 48v (p. 74). The second pagination also begins on f. 8 and appears consistently on the rectos, but not the versos, of each leaf up to f. 121 (p. 228). Here are the stubs of four excised leaves, which must have been included in the original numbering; the present ff. 122-39 originally bore the page numbers 237-71, corrected from 237 to 229, and 239 to 231, 241 to 232, 243 to 235, and the rest following normally; the error in pagination may suggest that a fifth leaf was excised. F. 139 has the corrected page number 261, and f. 140 has the uncorrected page number 273, with uncorrected page numbers appearing on each recto up to f. 151 (p. 295). F. 152 has uncorrect-

A later unidentified hand has written in pencil at the foot of the title-page, 'Ardelia was Anne— Countess of Winchilsea— See her poems published by John Barber London 1713', and where appropriate pencil notes appear throughout the volume giving cross-references to Miscellany Poems (1713). Octavo MS Bound volume, partly autograph and partly transcripts in the hand of Heneage Finch, with an index and a title-page, 'Poems On Several Subjects Written by Ardelia', in the hand of Heneage Finch, 94 leaves, a few blank, 6 leaves excised.

F. 153 has the uncorrected page number 301, and on f. 154 the uncorrrected page number 305 has been altered to 303; there is no stub, however, to indicate an excised leaf.

Folger MS. The note on the title-page here reads, 'Ardelia was Anne Countess of Winchilsea See her poems published by John Barber on Lambeth-Hill; and Sold by John Morphew near Stationer's Hall London 1713'. Folio MS

The text is divided into two sections, each with their own title-page as noted above. The first part consists of the two commendatory poems, The Preface', 63 poems, and two plays. Of the first 45 poems, 38 have been retranscribed from the Octavo MS, the seven new poems being inserted among them without any apparent regard to their position. Then follow fifteen new poems, the play The Triumphs of Love and Innocence', WiA 289, the 'Prologue', text, and 'Epilogue' of 'Aristomenes', WiA 288, and finally a song originally intended for the latter play. Cameron notes that none of these items can be firmly dated later than 1696.

Bound volume, transcripts in the hand of Heneage Finch, some with corrections in the hand of Anne Finch, with a title-page 'Miscellany Poems With Two Plays By Ardelia', and a sectional title-page 'Aditional Poems cheifly Upon Subjects Devine and Moral', in the hand of Heneage Finch, 155 leaves, a few blank, 6 leaves excised. Contents: WiA 2, 3, 9, 16, 18-19, 27, 29-30, 32-3, 367, 39, 41, 43-6, 48, 51-2, 54, 57, 59, 61, 63-4, 66-7, 70, 72-3, 75, 77-8, 80, 82-7, 92, 98, 100, 106-7, 11011, 113, 118, 124, 127, 129, 136, 140, 144-6, 149-51, 154, 156, 158, 161, 163-4, 169-72, 174, 176, 178, 180, 182, 185, 187, 189, 192, 194, 196-8, 200, 202, 204, 208, 216, 218-19, 222, 231, 234, 251, 254, 256, 259, 262, 266, 270, 272, 275-9, 281, 284, 287-90.

The second section contains 47 poems, of which the first eleven have been retranscribed from the Octavo MS; the remainder are all new, except for The Poor Man's Lamb' and To Sleep', the thirteenth and the seventh last poems in the section. The first fourteen poems of the section may have been entered in 1696, but the remainder must have been transcribed after December 1697; at least one of the latter was written in 1689 and none can be dated with certainty after 1697. Cameron suggests that the last six poems in the MS were probably transcribed as soon as they were written, and if so, they all date from before September 1701. After the first 14 poems appears a blank page (p. 228); the poems contained in the eight and a quarter pages following were suppressed by the excision of four leaves and scribbling over the nine lines remaining at the top of p. 229; a slip of paper was then pasted over this cancelled passage, and 'Upon the Death of Sir William Twisden', WiA 277, follows immediately below.

No publication of the whole traced; individual items printed as copy texts in Reynolds, see individual entries for details; described in Reynolds, pp. Ixxxivvi, and as the 'Folger MS' in Cameron, p. 76, Chapter 21, The Manuscripts', pp. 120-1, and Appendix D, 'Sources in Manuscript'. Folger, MS N.b.3.

Wellesley MS This second folio MS was bought by Professor Herbert G. Palmer at the sale of Edward Dowden's library in 1914, and subsequently given by him to Wellesley College. It is bound in vellum and contains 182 leaves, as follows: f. 2, a typescript note by Palmer on his purchase of the volume; ff. 2v-4, blank; ff. 25-73 (pp. 49-146), blank; ff. 74-182 blank.

Of the last six poems, the second, 'Some occasional Reflections', was later split into three, viz. The Bird and the Arras', 'Fragment', and 'Glass', WiA 30, 52, and 64; the text is considerably emended. To the Rt Honble the Lady Catharine Tufton', WiA 262, is entitled in pencil in Anne Finch's autograph, suggesting that the title is a later addition, but it is not otherwise emended, and although a leaf has been excised in the middle of the poem, the text does not appear to be imperfect. A leaf has also been excised in the middle of the last poem, 'Upon the Death of King James the Second', WiA 276, and here the remaining text is heavily revised and corrected.

Previous descriptions of the MS remark that the hand changes on p. 123. A note by Dowden on the inside front cover queries if the entries from this point are in Lady Winchilsea's autograph, but this is erroneous. Helen Sard Hughes in 'Lady Winchilsea and Her Friends', London Mercury, 19 (1929), 624-35, identified correctly the hand in this latter portion of the volume as that of Heneage Finch, and the hand in the preceding pages as that of an unidentified amanuensis. The titles of a few poems and some corrections, entered in pp. 49-122, are also, however, in the hand of Heneage Finch.

The same later hand which has entered pencil notes in the Octavo MS has made comparable cross-references to publication in Miscellany Poems (1713) throughout the

538

estate accounts, notes of business transacted or of interesting places visited. But it also contains a brief list of 'Errata (not printed) in my Wifes Book of Poems', f. 1, presumably Miscellany Poems (1713). This reads,

The MS contains 53 poems: only one of these, a version of 'On Absence', WiA 125, is also found in the Octavo and Folio MSS; and only one was published in Lady Winchilsea's lifetime, To Mr. Pope, in answer to a copy of Verses, occasion'd by a little Dispute upon four Lines in the Rape of the Lock', not from this MS. The earliest dated poem was written on 25 March 1703, and the latest on 13 January 1719. But the latter is the sixth poem in the MS, and the five preceding poems appear to be written after 1718; according to Cameron, transcription into the volume therefore probably began after 1720. One poem, To the Right Honble the Lord Viscount Hatton', is entered twice, WiA 263 and 264. The second entry has a footnote explaining that it was transcribed from a more correct copy which came to hand after the first entry had been made; the first entry has been cancelled, but a cross-reference to the second entry has been added, explaining its textual superiority. Cameron takes this as further evidence that the volume was begun after Lady Winchilsea's death, and that its purpose was to preserve uncollected and unpublished verse. Certainly the outer back cover carries a note, possibly autograph, 'for transcribing my poems'.

Also included are two very poignant entries: 'A blessed day', on the anniversary of his marriage, f. 16; and '5 [August] 1720 At 9 of the Clock at night my most dear Wife of blessed memmory went to Heaven' on the anniversary of Anne's death, f. 23, and on the verso a transcript of a newspaper obituary from three years before, 'My Dear Wifes just Character finely drawn by and publish'd in the publick prints after her Decease'. The most interesting entry of all is on the third leaf from the end, [f. 75], the transcript of 'A Fragment of a dessign'd Poem upon Pitty', WiA 53, with a note 'found in a loose paper written with — own hand'. In spite of the cryptic nature of this note, the fragment is accepted as Anne's by Cameron; it is certainly very much in her style.

Wellesley MS Bound volume, transcripts partly in the hand of Heneage Finch, partly in an unidentified hand, 182 leaves, many blank.

Another Rider's British Merlin used as a notebook by Heneage, this time for 1722, was sold at Sotheby's, 18 December 1986, Lot 28, to Crewe Read. It contains some 80 pages of miscellaneous jottings in ink and pencil, and is inscribed by Walter Field, F.S.A. 'Bought from Eastwell Park, 1868'. It too includes a list of five 'Errata (not printed) in my Wife's Book of Poems', a note upon the anniversary of Anne's death, but also an entry reading 'July 11. 1722. My Cosen Moor... told me that about two or three months agoe as she was alone at twelve a clock at noon in her Chamber she the [sic] thought she plainly heard my Dear Wifes voyce pronounce these words— Infinitely Happy!'. His other entries consist of a list of books purchased, a note on a Trunk of Books & writings sent to London', Biblical quotations, estate and household accounts, some relating to the Kingsmills, details of legal transactions, a list of lawyers' addresses, autobiographical notes, a sketch of a medieval picture he had seen, and notes on medals and vocabulary.

Contents: WiA 1, 4-5, 7-8, 11, 13, 15, 20-2, 42, 47, 50, 55, 71, 74, 88, 90, 94, 96, 108, 114-15, 119-21, 125, 130-1, 134, 137-8, 142, 152, 159, 168, 213-14, 228, 235, 237, 255, 257, 260-1, 263-4, 267-9, 271, 273, 282, 286. First published as a whole 1988 in D'Alessandro; individual items previously published, in full or in part, in Dowden, in Helen Sard Hughes, 'Lady Winchilsea and Her Friends', London Mercury, 19 (1929), 624-35, in Elizabeth Hampstein, 'Poems by Ann Finch', Women's Studies, 1 (1980), 5-19, and in Thompson, see individual entries for details; described in Cameron, Chapter 21, The Manuscripts', pp. 121-2, and Appendix D, 'Sources in Manuscript'. Wellesley College. An important item which is also now among the FinchHatton MSS at Northamptonshire Record Office, F.H. 282, is a copy of Rider's British Merlin almanac for 1723, used by Heneage Finch as a notebook. Most of the contents are his miscellaneous jottings, personal and

cases are the transcripts of To Mr. Pope, in answer to a Copy of Verses, occasion'd by a little Dispute upon four Lines in the Rape of the Lock', WiA 12, entitled The Answer' in Reynolds, and To Mr. Jervas. Occasion'd by the Sight of Mrs Chetwind's Picture', WiA 239, which are found among the MSS of Alexander Pope's translation of Homer in British Library, Add. MS 4807. As is well known, Pope frequently used the versos of letters sent to him for his drafts of the Homer, and both these transcripts have drafts for the Iliad overleaf. Pope published the former poem in his miscellany Poems on Several Occasions (London, 1717), and the text of WiA 12 is both emended and attributed to Lady Winchilsea in his hand; the whole was later cancelled, presumably after it had been retranscribed for the press. To Mr. Jervas' is attributed erroneously to Pope himself in the British Library's Catalogue of Additions to the Manuscripts 1756-1782: Additional Manuscripts 41015017 (London, 1977), p. 221. The text of WiA 239 is slightly imperfect, lacking a title and most of the first line, due to the leaf being damaged by damp and subsequently repaired. Another transcript of this poem in Heneage Finch's hand is found at the Pierpont Morgan, WiA 240, among the papers of Jonathan Swift's friend, Sir Andrew Fountaine.

Anniversary of her Husbands Death', to which a different hand has added 'by Mrs. Rowe', follows the Winchilsea poems in Add. MS 4457 on f. 61; and certainly Lady Winchilsea, Lady Hertford, Elizabeth Rowe, and Arabella Marrow all belonged to the circle of literary women who gravitated around Longleat House. But To Mrs Arabella Marrow upon the Death of Lady Marrow' is not to be found in the printed collections of Elizabeth Rowe's poetry, nor among the transcripts of her poems and letters made by Lady Hertford now at Alnwick Castle. While some uncertainty must remain, it is surely Lady Winchilsea rather than Elizabeth Rowe who should receive the benefit of the doubt. Another still unpublished poem is the ballad To Mrs Cath: Fleming at the Lord Digby's at Coleshill in Warwickshire'. It survives in seven transcripts: WiA 243, at Harvard; WiA 244, in a miscellany owned by Edward Harley, Earl of Oxford, British Library, MS Harley 7316, where it is dated from the Winchilseas' London town house 'Cleaveland Row. Dec 24th 1718'; WiA 245, probably also of Harleian provenance, in University of Nottingham, Portland MS Pw V 219; WiA 246, in the Marquess of Bath's library at Longleat House, Portland Papers, Vol. 20, f. 10, which is certainly of Harleian provenance; two transcripts in commonplace books at the Bodleian, WiA 247 and 248; and WiA 249, in a commonplace book compiled mid-century by Ashley Cowper, British Library, Add. MS 28101, ff. 163v-4. Also in British Library, MS Harley 7316 and in University of Nottingham, Portland MS Pw V 218 are transcripts of a late composition, the gently satirical 'A Song on the South Sea', WiA 206 and 207. The other transcript of this poem, WiA 205, is found in British Library, MS Lansdowne 852, another large miscellany owned by the younger Harley. It was printed from this source by Norman Ault in his A Treasury of Unfamiliar Lyrics (London, 1938), apparently unaware that it had been published in an early eighteenth-century collection of songs, The Hive (London, 1724).

It has already been mentioned that Thomas Birch had printed some half dozen poems appended to his article in the General Dictionary. Transcripts of these, in an unidentified hand, can be found together in a volume of Birch's papers, British Library, Add. MS 4457. These include the poems printed by Birch, To a Fellow Scribbler', f. 58, WiA 220; The Prodigy', ff. 54-5, WiA 155; and To Mr. Pope, in answer to a Copy of Verses, occasion'd by a little Dispute upon four Lines in the Rape of the Lock', f. 57, WiA 14. But also present are transcripts in the same hand of three poems which Birch must have decided not to include: 'A letter to Mrs Arabella Marrow', dated 'London Oct: 18 1715', f. 55v6v, WiA 95; To Mrs Arabella Marrow upon the Death of Lady Marrow', f. 56v, WiA 242; and To the Countess of Hartford on her Lord's Birth-day', f. 59, WiA 252. The first of these can also be found in Heneage Finch's transcript in the Wellesley MS, WiA 94, but the transcripts in the Birch papers are the only known source for the other two, which are still unpublished. The third poem is attributed 'by the Countess of Winchillsea' in the MS, and although the second is unattributed, its position here between two poems the authorship of which is well established by other, authoritative, MSS is suggestive at the least. The authenticity of both poems is accepted by Cameron, albeit without discussion. It is true that a transcript in the same hand of a poem, 'On the

Two other batches of contemporary transcripts have a particular interest in that they are found in collections compiled by women, one of them of Harleian provenance. Firstly in the Marquess of Bath's library at Longleat House, Portland Papers, Vols 19 and 20 together form a two-volume collection of verse made by Henrietta Cavendish Harley, Countess of Oxford, and her daughter Margaret Bentinck, Duchess of Portland. As mentioned above, Vol. 19 includes the autograph and still unpublished 'On a Short Visit inscrib'd to My Lady Worsley', WiA 123. But between them the two volumes also contain some eight transcripts of Winchilsea poems,

540

ANNE FINCH, COUNTESS OF WINCHILSEA

14v-15; WiA 165, 'A Sigh', or as it is here entitled 'Upon a Sigh', f. 15v. Although Percivale's transcripts do not offer any significant variant readings, what gives them no little interest is his note, The three following Coppys of Verses were made by Mrs. Finch 1702'. If this is reliable, not only does it advance our knowledge of the date of these poems, it also means that Percivale's transcripts predate their earliest publication.

WiA 24, 133, 141, 217, 229, 232, 246, 258. Of these, 'A Ballad to Mrs Catherine Fleming in London from Malshanger farm in Hampshire', WiA 24, 'On Myselfe', WiA 133, The 146 Psalm Paraphras'd', WiA 141, To the Lord March upon the death of his sparrow', WiA 258, To a Lady who having desired me to compose something upon the foregoing Subject..., WiA 229, and The 10th Part of the 119th Psalm Paraphrased', WiA 217, are all transcripts of poems which remained unpublished until this century, and the still unpublished To Mrs Cath: Fleming at the Lord Digby's at Coleshill in Warwickshire', WiA 246, noted above. Likewise the MS collections of verse compiled by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu now at Sandon Hall, Stafford, described at length in the Introduction to her section, include transcripts of three poems which had been printed, WiA 122, 'On a double Stock July-flower, full blown in January, presented to me by the Countess of Ferrers', Harrowby MS 81, ff. 82-3, WiA 223, To a Friend, in Praise of the Invention of Writing Letters', Harrowby MS 81, f. 145, WiA 190, 'A Song' ('Quickly, Delia, Learn my Passion'), Harrowby MS 255, p. 52; but also WiA 160, The puggs a dialogue between an old & young dutch Mastiff, Harrowby MS 81, ff. 109-10, which is otherwise found only in the Wellesley MS. Considered together the Sandon Hall and Longleat House collections testify to the MS circulation of Lady Winchilsea's unpublished verse among women of literary interests, and it may not be altogether a coincidence that Lady Mary Wortley Montagu was a friend of Lady Oxford.

Some contemporary transcripts in an unidentified hand of poems by Lady Winchilsea can be found in Clark Library, Los Angeles, MS fC7246M3. Some of the transcripts are extracts only, and the accidentals suggest that they were made from a copy of Miscellany Poems (1713). They have not been given entries but are recorded here: The Brass-Pot, and Stone-Jugg. A Fable', lines 47-55 only, f. 2; The Decision of Fortune. A Fable', lines 60-9, f. 2; The Cautious Lovers', lines 53-6 only, f. 5v; The Eagle, the Sow, and the Cat', lines 66-7 only, f. 21; The Battle between the Rats and the Weazles', lines 11-19 only, f. 21 v; 'Fragment at Tunbridge Wells', lines 1-8 and 13-14 only, f. 21v; 'Adam Pos'd', f. 24v; The Equipage Written Originally in French by L'Abbe Reigner', f. 25; The Atheist and the Acorn', f. 29; 'Democritus and his Neighbours. Imitated from Fontaine', f. 29; 'Cupid and Folly. Imitated from the French', f. 29v; 'Friendship between Ephelia and Ardelia', f. 30 Helen Sard Hughes's article, 'Lady Winchilsea and Her Friends', London Mercury, 19 (1929), 624-35, reported that she knew of only two letters by Lady Winchilsea, both transcribed into the Wellesley MS as parts of two composite epistles in prose and verse, 'A Letter to the Hon:ble Lady Worsley at Long-Leat. Lewston August 10th 1704', WiA 96, and 'A letter to Mrs Arabella Marrow', WiA 94. Apparently Hughes was informed by the then Marquess of Bath, doubtless in good faith, that there was no Winchilsea material among the papers at Longleat. In fact the only two other letters which have been traced in the course of the present enquiry are both in a collection of letters addressed to Thomas Thynne, Viscount Weymouth, at Longleat House, Thynne Papers, Vol. 17: a letter of 14 February 1703/4, ff. 282-3; and a letter of 8 October [1711?], f. 313. The same volume includes several letters written by Heneage Finch to Viscount Weymouth. Hughes did note two letters by Heneage in Alnwick Castle, Alnwick MS 22: to his niece Lady Betty Seymour, 27 September 1725, p. 51; and to an unidentified woman, undated, p. 56 (second pagination). A recent essay by Carol Barash, The Political Origins of Anne Finch's Poetry', HLQ, 54 (1991), 327-51, draws attention to the correspondence of

The one extant MS of To Mr. Prior, From a Lady Unknown', WiA 241, is of some interest in that it is found in a volume of complimentary poems addressed to Matthew Prior and elegies on his death as transcribed by his secretary, Adrian Drift, British Library, MS Harley 4042. The volume is entitled 'Poems on Several Occasions Continued. Also some Letters and Epistles To the Author 1718', and is therefore a supplement or appendix to the MS volumes 'Poems on Several Occasions' and 'Poetical Miscellanies', Prior Papers, Vols 27 and 28, at Longleat House. The poem was first published in Miscellaneous Works of His Late Excellency Matthew Prior, two vols (London, 1740), but it cannot be assumed that it was printed from this MS; for a discussion of the sources of this edition, see the Introduction to the Prior section. Three poems are transcribed by Sir John Percivale of Burton, Co. Cork, into his commonplace book 'Adversaria Miscelanea', now British Library, Add. MS 27989: WiA 280, 'Verses Written under the King of Sweden's Picture', f. 14; WiA 101, 'Life's Progress', ff.

Mary Wollstonecraft 1674-1748

Only two autograph literary MSS of Mary Wollstonecraft have been traced in the course of the present enquiry, both in the Carl H. Pforzheimer Collection of Shelley & His Circle. At her death her MSS of course passed to her husband William Godwin, but as Ralph M. Wardle observes in his edition of Wollstonecraft's Collected Letters, p. 19, Godwin seems to have destroyed nearly all of the MSS of the texts which he published in Posthumous Works of the Author of a Vindication of the Rights of Woman, 4 vols (London, 1798). For example, the MSS from which Godwin prepared 'The Wrongs of Woman: or, Maria. A Fragment' for Posthumous Works, I-II, as his Preface explains connecting 'the more finished parts with the pages of an older copy', have disappeared.

Wollstonecraft to Catharine Macaulay, not in Collected Letters, with her transcript of Macaulay's reply, was auctioned by Phillips, 11 June 1992, Lot 21, sold to Edwards.

One of the surviving MSS is the first page of an essay, 'On Poetry, and Our Relish for the Beauties of Nature', published originally by Wollstonecraft in letter form in the Monthly Magazine, and afterwards included by Godwin in the Posthumous Works. The MS, WoM 1, is entitled in Godwin's hand, and to the right he has appended the words 'bastard title'. A facsimile has been published in Shelley and His Circle, I, facing 80. The second MS is the draft of a review of a translation of Carl Gottlob Cramer's novel Albert de Nordenshild, one of the many such articles written by Wollstonecraft for the Analytical Review, WoM 2, see FACS.

W.A.L.

Besides that of 'On Poetry...', there are three other facsimiles of Wollstonecraft's hand in Shelley and His Circle: a letter to Maria Reveley, 26 June 1797, I, facing 181; a letter to Ruth Baldwin Barlow, 1-14 February 1793, IV, 863-5; and a letter to Mary Robinson, ?15 April 1796-29 March 1797, IV, 879. Collected Letters includes another three facsimiles: a letter to Eliza Bishop, dated Thursday Night' (c. autumn 1790), p. 197; a note to Godwin, 22 August 1796, together with his reply of the same day, p. 341; and Wollstonecraft's three last notes to Godwin, each dated by him 30 August 1797, p. 410.

The majority of Wollstonecraft's surviving letters are among the Abinger MSS on deposit at the Bodleian, or at the Pforzheimer. Wardle's standard edition, Collected Letters, incorporates the 14 letters to Jane Arden which were published for the first time in Shelley and His Circle, II, 933-84, from transcripts possibly in Jane Arden's hand at the Pforzheimer. Two still unpublished letters at the Pforzheimer, however, will appear in the forthcoming Vols IX and X of Shelley and His Circle. A letter from

Edward Young 1683-1765

Second', lines 683-94, here omitting line 693, in a letter to the Duchess of Portland, 3 May 1742, YoE 16. Interestingly, none of the first three of these items were published in Young's lifetime.

Apart from letters, only a handful of Edward Young's autograph MSS survive, although his three tragedies have fared better in this respect than his non-dramatic poems. In the memoir prefixed to the Aldine edition of the Poetical Works of Edward Young, 2 vols (London, 1833), John Mitford stated that Young had instructed his lady housekeeper, Mrs Hallows, to destroy his papers. This is contradicted, however, by James Nichols in the Preface to his edition of the Complete Works, I, ix; Nichols queries whether Mrs Hallows would have dared comply with such an order, and asserts, That they are still in existence in his son's family, and may ere long be given to the world, are subjects of common belief in literary circles'. In spite of this, such papers have never appeared.

There are a number of transcripts of the tragedies which are important in that they have autograph additions or are connected with early productions. A transcript of Young's first play, Busiris, King of Egypt, with corrections and deletions, some in a second hand, YoE 29, was sold by Hodgson's, 23 May 1930, being previously owned by Sir G. Chadwick-Healey, Bart. Prior to auction it was described and its readings compared with the published text in F.S. Boas, 'A Manuscript Copy of Young's Busiris', TLS, 22 May 1930, p. 434. The MS is currently unlocated.

Of the autograph MSS, two of the most substantial are at Winchester College, the gift of the Rev Peter Hall. One is a fair copy of A Poem on the last Day, YoE 18. The text appears to be an intermediate stage between the first complete publication and the revised version found in the collected edition prepared by Young himself in 1763. The other is a fair copy of Young's second tragedy, The Revenge, YoE 30, with variations from the printed text; see FACS. Another autograph fair copy of The Revenge, YoE 31, is at the Bodleian, MS Rawl.poet.229; an accompanying letter by Daniel Perkins, 5 December 1747, indicates a provenance for the MS through the Chandos family.

There is an early transcript of Young's third tragedy, The Brothers, YoE 26, at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild no. 2622. The transcript of the text is in an unidentified hand, but the dedication to Henrietta, Duchess of Marlborough, on the rectos of the first three leaves, is in Young's autograph. The MS is bound in morocco with a ducal coronet and monogram, possibly of the Duchess, on the cover, and may have been intended for presentation. The play was withdrawn from rehearsal, however, when Young took orders in 1727, and not performed until 1753. It was published the same year without the dedication to the Duchess, who had died in 1733. The other MSS of the play relate to its belated production in 1753. A transcript of The Brothers with revisions, three of them in Young's hand, apparently a prompt-copy, YoE 27, was reported in Harold Foster, The Poet of the Night Thoughts: Edward Young, 1683-1765 (Harleston, 1986), as owned by the late Norman Philbrick. It is not, however, in the Philbrick Collection at the Honnold Library, Claremont. Yet a

The remaining autograph MSS are To his Grace the Duke of Chandos', YoE 23, an unused verse dedication for Young's collection of satires, Love of Fame; a verse letter, To the Lady Giffard on the Countess of Portland's being ill of a fever', YoE 25; another verse epistle To the Honble Philip Yorke', YoE 24; and an apparently early version of Night Thoughts, 'Night the

EDWARD YOUNG

third transcript of The Brothers, YoE 28, presented by James Lacy and David Garrick for approval by the Lord Chamberlain, is in the Larpent Collection at the Huntington. The MS lacks Act V, and there are numerous deletions, additions, and corrections, some in Garrick's hand. Comparison with the published edition of 1753 shows numerous differences, especially in Acts I and II.

1-3; the second is The Third Chapter of Habakkuk Paraphras'd. An Ode', beginning 'When in a glorious terrible array', ff. 4v-6v. A note on the fly-leaf of the volume reads 'The Latter portion supposed to be the Autograph of the Poet'. Superficially the hand resembles Young's, but a more careful examination of the letter formation reveals too many differences for these poems to be in his autograph; and the text of the former is quite different from Young's poem, such similarity as there is being explained by their both being paraphrases of the same Biblical passages. It seems likely that the attribution to Young was due to a similarity of material, and a hasty judgment of the hand. Among the correspondence of Samuel Richardson at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Forster MS 457 (F.48.E.9), Item 24/1, is a short poem 'On hearing the work call'd Clarissa, attributed to Mr R—n', beginning 'This work is Nature's; every tittle in't'. An annotation in a later hand states that the MS is in Young's autograph. In fact it bears little or no resemblance to Young's hand. Cambridge University Library, Add. MS 4247, f. 2, contains a transcript of a poem entitled 'On Miss Harvey being a day old— In Imitation of Mr Phillips on Miss Carteret', beginning 'Little Girll in Swadling Cloaths', attributed to Young in the MSS Reading Room catalogue. But there is nothing in the MS itself to indicate that Young is the author. This poem, which is indeed an imitation of the style of Ambrose Phillips, has been attributed very doubtfully to Pope, and another transcript is listed in his section, PoA 263.

Several contemporary transcripts have been listed, perhaps the most interesting being those which preserve impromptu epigrams. Two of these can be found in Joseph Spence's 'Memorandum Book, 1758', YoE 1 and 21. Both are well known and seem to have circulated in different versions, both in MS and in print. But the 'Epigram Writ in a Volume of Select Plays Lent by a Lady', has never been published and appears to survive only in a transcript by Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, YoE 3. There is a transcript in an unidentified hand, made c. 1800, of the epigram on Voltaire in a commonplace book begun by Eleanor Peart in 1768, Bodleian, MS Eng.poet.e.28, p. 364, but this is of too late a date to merit an entry. British Library, Add. MS 26877, which contains transcripts in an unidentified hand of three pieces by Young, 'Ocean. An Ode', ff. 187-9, 'An abstract of a dissertation concerning Lyric Poetry by Dr Young in a preface to his Ocean', f. 189, and Love of Fame, Satire V, ff. 189v19 Iv, seems to derive from printed sources to judge by its other contents, which include transcripts of verse by Pope, Prior, Swift, and Thomson. Other transcripts which have not been given entries include an extract from Love of Fame, Satire I, lines 241 ff., in the hand of Ann Frances Bacon in her commonplace book, now at Victoria College Library, Toronto. There is a partial transcript of 'The Force of Religion' in the hand of John Lewis, in a volume of Oxford collections made by Lewis, Phillipps MS 13538, now Bodleian, MS Eng.misc.e.25, f. 8. Finally one may note here a transcript in an undidentified hand of the first 24 lines of The Last Day, headed 'Mr Young's Last Day Page ye 17', in a collection of religious verse and prose, Yale, Osborn.fc.54, p. 80. The page reference indicates that this transcript was made from a printed source, and accordingly it has not been given an entry.

There is a good modern edition of Young's Correspondence, which can be updated in a few respects. The letters in the collection of the editor, Henry Pettit, are now at the University of Colorado. Young's letters to Sir William Bunbury, March 1749, and to Caroline Lee Haviland, 10 July 1749, were sold at Christie's, 11-12 June 1980 (A.A. Houghton Sale), Lots 552 and 553 respectively. Young's letter to William Haviland, 9 April 1749, recorded as No. 259 in Correspondence but untraced and unpublished, is at the Folger. James E. May, 'Edward Young's Letter to Theophilus Leigh', PQ, 66 (1987), 529-34, has located the letter of 23 October 1751, No. 309 in Correspondence but untraced, in a 1751 copy of Night Thoughts at the Library of Congress. A further article by May, 'An Unpublished Letter from Edward Young to Mrs Montagu, 7 July 1761', N & Q, n.s. 39 (1992), 54-6, publishes both this previously unrecorded letter, and also the original MS of a letter to Richardson, 12 December 1749, printed as No. 276 in Correspondence from the text in the Monthly Magazine, 38 (1814), 430. Both of these letters are at McGill University. A letter from

A few poems in MS have been claimed for Young in the belief that they are in his hand. At Winchester College, MS 59, are two poems bound into a copy of Young's A Paraphrase on Pan of the Book of Job, second edition (London, 1719). The first is entitled 'A Paraphrase on Part of the 38th and 39th Chapters of Job', beginning 'Then from his bright Ae'real Abode', ff.

EDWARD YOUNG Young to an unnamed correspondent, undated but annotated in another hand 'Letter 29 Oct 23 1757', was auctioned at Christie's, 29 June 1995, Lot 380; this was likely Young's letter to Samuel Richardson of that date, printed as No. 386 in Correspondence from a printed source.

A presentation copy of Love of Fame, The Universal Passion, second edition (London, 1728), to Christopher Pitt is at Trinity College, Cambridge, Rothschild, no. 2612. Young's letter to Samuel Richardson, 12 August 1754, has been reproduced in facsimile no less than three times: in The Correspondence of Samuel Richardson, edited by Anna Laetitia Barbauld, 6 vols (London, 1804), VI, between 288-9; in Complete Works, II, facing 416; and in Frederick Netherclift, The Autograph Miscellany: A Collection of Autograph Letters, Interesting Documents, &c. (London, 1855). There is a facsimile of a letter to Richardson, 11 August 1759, in Morrison Catalogue (1883), VI, 441, and a facsimile of a third letter to Richardson, 10 April 1750, has been published in British Literary Manuscripts, I, 75. A facsimile of a letter to Robert Dodsley, 16 October [1747], is published in Correspondence, p. 285. A facsimile of a note which apparently accompanied a marked-up copy of a work by Young was published in Garnett & Gosse (1903), III, 279. W.A.L.

Fragments, drafts, and transcripts for The Spectator in Young's hand, possibly dictated by Joseph Addison and sometimes with his autograph additions and corrections, in Bodleian, MS Dep.c.293/2, have been described and published in M.J.C. Hodgart, The Eighth Volume of the Spectator', RES, n.s., 5 (1954), 367-87; see the Introduction to the Addison section, Paper of Hints. The MS contains fragments of The Spectator, Nos 561-2, 565, 567, 571-4, 579-80, 582, 592, 598, 607, 622, and 631; four more substantial drafts of Nos 577, 583, 610, and 624, are listed in the Addison section, AdJ 38-40 and 41. Young's transcripts of two poems by George Bubb Doddington can be found in letters to Margaret, Duchess of Portland, both now owned by the Marquess of Bath: 'Kind Companion of my Youth', in a letter of 2 January 1763, Portland Papers, Vol. 19, f. 228; and the well known 'An Ode' beginning 'Love thy Country, wish it well' in a letter of 13 January 1763, Portland Papers, Vol. 19, ff. 230-1.

Also in Portland Papers, Vol. 19, f. 269, is what is very likely a parody of Young in an unidentified hand, entitled 'More last Night Thoughts, a Fragment', and beginning 'O Night! Dark Night! wrapt round with Stygian gloom'.
