Washington's clear sense of neither wishing to wrong nor to be wronged is shown in the Notes to pp. 34, 39, and 66.

The work is illustrated with two Portraits and a bust of Washington and contains a reprint of various public documents. A full list of "Contents" follows the Title.

Washington Irving bestows a well-earned tribute of praise to the author of these accounts and to his motives and method, in the Life of Washington, Vol. IV. (Putnam's Ed. 1857), pp. 441–2.

... The "doctrines" of Paracelsus, Fludd, Böhm, and Law are not set forth: The book simply announces the “Brothers" of India as possessors of the Highest Truths, and that after innumerable transmigrations, past and future, we may attain to Devachan [Heaven], and thence after more transmigratory lives in this or other spheres attain to Nirvana [the Highest Heaven]. This is written for a "little boy," to help him by "his parent's teaching to become a good theosophist."

·.· This work came from the Hamilton Palace Library. It has (Vol. I., I.-LXII.) three bibliographies of the Works relating to Henri IV., Louis XIII., and La Fronde respectively, which are referred to in this work. The work is divided into nine Books and each Volume opens with a short analytical Table of Contents.

In Vol. IV. (pp. 258–342) is given a List (with descriptive particulars) of the Deputies of the Three Orders of the Etats Généraux of 1614. The States-General of 1614 were the last held prior to the Revolution, when the States-General became the National Assembly, and consequently a List of the Constituents of the three Orders of Clergy, Nobility, and Commons in 1614 has a special historical interest.

Ariel Series: (No. 1).-SEVEN SELECTED WORKS. Edinburgh: [170] E. & G. Goldsmid. 1886, etc. Crown 4to. [In course

of publication.]

... These are to be a series of Seven Standard or interesting works "intended for the "general reader rather than for the student or antiquarian." They are issued in parts in loose parchment covers. Only "very few copies of each work will be published, all "one size." Those already issued are indicated by the addition of the year of publication.

Every page will be appropriately bordered. The Basia or Kisses will have the Latin on one page and the English on the opposite, and the first word of each stanza and the title word "Kisses," wherever it occurs, will be printed in gold letters. The works chosen to form the first Series are:--

They are shortly described below in the order in which they are to be bound together as soon as the issue is completed.

Vol. I. SIR ROGER DE COVERLEY. By Addison and Steele. Reprinted from "The Spectator." (1886).

... Only the first of four parts is yet (March, 1888) issued. The typography is excellent and each page ruled with red and black lines with wide margins. It will make

an attractive book when finished and bound. The prototype of this famous Character was Sir John Pakington, seventh baronet of the line. Addison and Steele wrote these papers in 1711, 1712, and 1714.

Vol. II. KISSES: being an English Metrical Version of the Basia of Joannes Secundus Nicolaius, together with the Latin Text, and an Essay on the Life and Writings of Secundus. To which are added Fragments relating to the same subject, translated from the Latin, French, and Italian Languages.

·.· A reprint of the scarce Edition of 1815. Secundus (1511–1536) was a son of Nicholas Everts or Everard and was born at the Hague. The Basia, his most famous work, is a series of amatory poems, "of which the fifth, seventh, and ninth Carmina of "Catullus seem to have given the hint." Why he was called Secundus is not known. The Latin text in this Edition is to face the English translation.

Vol. III.(a). MURDER, THE, of Rizzio, related by one of the Murderers (Earl of Ruthven). From the original MS.

With a Life of Rizzio.

This was first published in 1699. It was entitled "A Relation of the Death of "David Rizzi, chief Favorite to Mary Stuart, Queen of Scotland. Written by the Lord “Ruthven.” It has been reprinted in Tracts Illustrative of the Traditionary Antiquities of Scotland, published by J. Stillie, Edinburgh, 1836, and in other serial works (see Allibone); and was also republished with "Some Particulars of the Life of David "Riccio, 1815."

(b) ESSAY, AN, on Nothing. A Quaint Jeu d'Esprit attributed to Arnot. (1886.) 51 pp.

... This number is printed in blue ink with blue and, an inner, gold borders. It is a reprint from the Edition of 1777. Arnot lived 1749-1786 and changed his name from Pollock to Arnot on succeeding to an Estate. This Essay "caused a great sensa❝tion on its appearance, but was soon suppressed (as far as possible) by the author." The treatise proposes to promote piety indirectly by "attempting to expose and to lash "pride, pedantry, violence, persecution, affectation, ignorance, impudence, absurdity, "falsehood, and vice."

(c) DEATH-SONG, THE, of Lodbroc. Translated from the Icelandic, with explanatory Notes by Edmund Goldsmid. (1887.) 35 pp.

... Regner-Lodbroc, King of Denmark, flourished in the eighth or ninth century. At last made prisoner by Ella, King of Northumbria, he was condemned to die by the bite of vipers, and under the execution of his death-sentence he is reported to have sung the "Lodbrokar-Quida" here translated. It was translated with a Glossary and Notes by the Rev. James Johnstone, and published in Copenhagen in 1782.

Vol. IV. BLOODY, THE, ASSIZES: or, a Complete History of the Life of George, Lord Jefferies, from his Birth to the Present Time. Wherein, among other Things, is given a True Account of his unheard of Cruelties, and Barbarous Proceedings, in his whole Western Circuit: comprehending the whole Proceedings-Arraignment, Tryals, and Condemnation of all those Suffer'd in the West of England, in the Year 1685. With their undaunted Courage at the Barr, their Behaviour in Prison, their Cruel Whippings afterwards, and the remarkable Circumstances that attended their Executions. To which is added Major Holme's Excellent Speech, with the Dying Speeches and Prayers of many other Eminent Protestants.

... This was originally published in 1689 and again in 1693. The first Edition appeared "with an Epistle dedicatory by James Bent and a Poem to the Memory of "George Lord Jefferies."

Lord Campbell (Lives of the Chancellors, iii. 495) states that "in his matured opin"ion Jeffreys' (1648–1689) cruelty and political profligacy have not been sufficiently "exposed or reprobated; and that he was not redeemed from his vices by one single "solid virtue."

Vols. V. VII. DON JUAN. By Lord Byron. With a Preface by a Clergyman.

... This, it is announced, will be an entirely unexpurgated Edition, and, says Mr. Goldsmid, will" we believe prove the most beautiful edition of Don Juan yet issued." Mr. H. S. Ashbee in July, 1883, published in the Bibliographer (Vol. IV. pp. 25-28) an interesting article on the continuations of Don Juan. In 1825 Isaac Starr Clason (1796-1830) published at New York Cantos 17 and 18 of Don Juan. Extracts from them will be found in the "Poets and Poetry of America," New York, 1872.

In 1846 appeared “The Rest of Don Juan. | Inscribed to | The Shade of Byron. | By Henry Morford. | [Mottoes] | New York: | Burgess, Stringer, & Co., | 222 Broadway, corner of Ann Street. | 1846." | It was published in pamphlet form, in double columns, consisting of 47 pp., with seven cantos, containing in all 645 stanzas.

Charles Hervé, the painter (about 1833), wrote, in collaboration with his son, Charles Stanley Hervé, a continuation entitled Don Juan Married, in 6 cantos, but they appear never to have been published, although the first is "based upon information given by "Fletcher to Mr. Charles Stanley Hervé of what Byron himself intended."

Byron's autobiography was sold by Moore to John Murray for 2000 guineas, but at the request of the family it was destroyed and the money returned to the publisher. Washington Irving inspected the Manuscript.
