DEFENCE OF THE ARTICLE, Christ Descended into Hell, against one Alexander Humes. 1592. Black Letter.-10 rare pieces in I vol, 4to, original vellum, an interesting and unique collection £10 10s

These rare tracts belonged to the celebrated divine and poet, Dr. Donne, and contain, besides his signatures, numerous important references in his autograph. The tracts themselves are all of a high degree of rarity, and their value is greatly enhanced on account of the interest attached to the collection, from the fact of its former owner. Indeed, we think it is very reasonably figured at the priced affixed, and as a memento of this famous man, perhaps not to be equalled.

London, printed by H. L., for Matthew Lownes, J. Browne, J. Helme, and J.

London, printed by Augustine Mathews for John Marriott, John Grismand, aud Thomas Dewe, 1622. FIRST EDITIONS OF BOTH PARTS, with the beautifully engraved frontispiece, rare leaf of explanation opposite, the fine engraved portrait of Prince Henry, and all the curiously engraved maps by William Hole, folio a very fine copy in russia extra £18 18s

This is a fine copy of this valuable and important volume, both parts being in the first state, and in this condition exceedingly rare. The copies generally offered for sale contain the second issue of the first part, dated 1622, and the fine library of Mr. Locker Lampson only contains a copy of the second edition. The above copy, besides containing all the maps, engraved title, and explanation, the two printed titles, and portrait of Prince Henry, has also the 'Table,' which is often wanting.

The address to the reader affixed to the second part is probably more extraordinary than any other in the English language. To those who had spoken ill of his book he says: I wish their folly may be hereditary from them to their posteritie, that their children may be beg'd for fooles to the fifth generation, until it may be beyond the memory of man to know that there was any other of their families.'

The spontaneous ease of expression, the rapid transitions, the general elasticity and movement, have never been excelled."-Hallam. "The plan of this poem," says Sir Walter Scott, "has been uniformly and universally admired, not only as one of Dryden's most excellent performances, but as the most nervous and best political satire that ever was written."

H. Herringman, 1667. FIRST EDITION, small 8vo, original sheep, rebacked £2 2s

Prefixed is a long and interesting prose preface on the merits of the older dramatists.

Sir Walter Scott says that Dryden seldom suffers his poem to languish. Every stanza presents some strong thought or vivid description, but that the structure of the verse (four-line stanza) has laid him under the odd and unpleasing necessity of filling up his stanza, by compiling a simile, or a moral expressed in the last two lines along with the fact which has been expressed in the first.

London, printed for Henry Herringman, at the sign of the Anchor on the Lower Walk of the New Exchange, 1668. FIRST EDITION, 4to, new sprinkled calf extra, neatly tooled, rough gilt edges, by RIVIERE £4 4s

This was Dryden's principal prose production. The character of Shakespeare's genius which he exhibits here in so masterly a manner called forth the highest encomiums from Dr. Johnson, who says, "It will not be easy to find in all the opulence of our language a treatise so artfully variegated with successive representations of opposite probabilities, so enlivened with imagery, so brightened with illustrations. His portraits of the English dramatists are wrought with great spirit and diligence. The account of Shakespeare may stand as a perpetual model of encomiastic criticism, exact without minuteness, and lofty without exaggeration. The praise lavished by Longinus on the attestation of the heroes of Marathon, by Demosthenes, fades away before it. In a few lines is exhibited a character so extensive in its comprehension, and so curious in its limitations, that nothing can be added, diminished, or referred, nor can the editors and admirers of Shakespeare, in all their emulation of reverence, boast of much more than of having diffused and paraphrased the epitome of excellence, of having changed Dryden's gold for baser metal of lower value, though of greater bulk."

FIRST EDITION, Small 4to, half morocco neat, gilt edges, from the libraries of Colonel Grant and Frederick Locker, with bookplates of each inserted, also a MS. note in the latter's handwriting £2 2s Of this poem Dr. Johnson says, "That it is a composition of great excellence of its kind, in which the familiar is very properly diversified with the solemn, and the grave with the humorous, in which metre has neither weakened the force, nor clouded the perspicuity of argument; nor will it be easy to find another example equally happy of this middle kind of writing, which, though prosaic in some parts, rises to high poetry in others, and neither hovers to the skies, nor creeps along the ground."

FIRST EDITION, 4to, fine copy £1 13 Spence has mentioned in his Anecdotes that Charles II. suggested the subject of this poem (as he seems to have done others) to the poet. One day the King was walking in the Mall, and talking with the poet, he said, "If I was a poet, and I think I am poor enough to be one, I would write a poem on such a subject in the following manner." He then gave him the plan of the Medal. Dryden took the hint, carried the poem as soon as it was finished to the King, and had a present of a hundred broad pieces for it.
