BARD (Samuel A.) ps. [Ephraim George Squier].

Waikna; or, Adventures on the Mosquito Shore. Lond., 1854.

Republished under the title: Adventures on, &c., 1856. It is said that this book was undertaken for a wager to be written, produced, and sold within three weeks, and that by that time its sale exceeded by several thousands the number required.

BERNARD (H. H.) Ph. Dr., allonym [Rev. George Skinner, of Cambridge].

Cambridge Free Thoughts and Letters on Bibliolatry, translated from Lessing. Lond., Trübner, 1862.

We have it from authority that Dr. Bernard never wrote one word of this work. It was, in fact, published after his death. We have also been informed that Mr. Skinner had the permission of a relative of Dr. Bernard to use his (Dr. B.’s) name. We do not understand what right the relative had to give the permission. Dr. Hermann Hedwig Bernard was author of The Guide of the Hebrew Student, Lond., 1839, and The Book of Job as Expounded to his Cambridge Pupils, 1864.

BISHOP (Thomas) ps. [Hayes].

Koranzzo’s Feast; or the Unfair Marriage. A Tragedy. 1811; 4to.

This most extraordinary production (doubtless the work of a madman) was written by one Hayes, a footman to Lord Belgrave. 150 copies were printed, of which more than 130 were burnt at Smeeton’s fire. The 16 plates are quite as unique as the text.—M. S. Note by George Daniel, in his own copy.

BOWER (Archibald) plagiarist.

History of the Popes, from the Foundation of the See of Rome to the Present Time, 1748-66. 7 vols., 4to.

Bower and Tillemont Compared; or the First Volume of the Pretended Original and Protestant History, &c., shewn to be chiefly a translation from a Popish one [Tillemont], with some further particulars relating to the true character and conduct of the translator.... By the Author of Six Letters ... illustrated [J. Douglas] 1757.

Dr. Douglas, who exposed the Lauder forgeries, charged Bower with a piece of shameful plagiarism, appropriating to himself the work of De Tillemont, a French historian, without notice or acknowledgment. In order that there might be no mistake, Dr. Douglas printed a few chapters of De Tillemont, page by page, with Bower, and thus triumphantly exposed the fraud. Twenty pamphlets were written in a controversy which followed.

The reader can refer for further particulars to Mr. Lawrence’s article (see Biog. Index), to Chalmers’ Gen. Biog. Dict. 1812.

GRANT (James), novelist.

Memoirs of James Marquis of Montrose, K.G., Captain-General of Scotland. By James Grant, author of The Romance of War, etc. With illustrations. Lond., Routledge, 1858; 8vo; viii, 396.

The Athenæum, in showing this work to be little more than a wretched, badly written plagiarism of “Memoirs of Montrose, by Mark Napier,” begins with these observations:—“It is time that some inquiry were made into the ethics of cheap publishing. As far as such a movement furnishes (without the infringement of private rights) good literature at a moderate price to the public, every sensible person will give it approbation and encouragement. But is the pretence of cheapness and free use of that favourite term ‘the million’ to justify practices which are condemned in all trades, and in literature are peculiarly dangerous. Is a dear book, of whatever merit, to be looked on simply as raw material for the manufacture of cheap books?

“The plain fact is, that Mr. Grant has borrowed from his predecessor all that he dared, and ignored his existence as much as he could.”—Part I., 1858, p. 364.

H.

HAMPDEN (John) allonym [Lord Nugent].

True and Faithful Relation of a Worthy Discourse between Colonel John Hampden and Colonel Oliver Cromwell. Preceded by an Explanatory Preface.

One of those clever imitations of the political and oratorical literature of the 17th century, which could only have been written by one to whom its books and men were familiar, and being put forth (of course anonymously) in the quaint old-faced letter of its period, Lord Nugent took great delight in the success with which he was able, by means of a copy elaborately stained with tobacco-juice, to pass it off upon his uncle, Mr. Thomas Grenville, no indifferent judge of such matters, as a genuine piece of Commonwealth literature.—Memoir, p. lxix. See J. F.

HEINFETTER (Herman) pseud. [Parker, of Tunbridge Wells].

This gentleman has been in the habit, for the last twenty years, of putting advertisements over the leader of the Athenæum. They are upon religious controversial subjects, generally being in the form of what, in slang, would be a “poser” for our clergy. He must have spent several hundreds of pounds in these advertisements. No one has turned up with sufficient talent or money to answer him after his own fashion, so Mr. Heinfetter has it pretty nearly all his own way. He always dates from 17, Fenchurch Street.

The Ingoldsby Letters in Reply, &c., 1st, 2nd, and 3rd vols., 2nd edit., 1860; 3rd edit., 1862-63.

Our omitting this pseudonym in the body of the work is curious, and reminds us also of one of the greatest plagiarists of the day having escaped our notice, until too late for insertion.

K.

KIRBY (C.) publisher.

In 1803 Hogg, the publisher, filed a Bill to restrain Kirby from pirating one of his works. It appears that Hogg was proprietor of a work published in monthly numbers, commencing in August, 1802, under the title of “The Wonderful Magazine,” by William Granger, Esq., that name being (according to the Bill), as is usual in works of that description, inserted in the title-page, merely as the nominal author; and, under an arrangement for that purpose, the name of the defendant, Kirby, was used as the publisher, and the numbers were sold at his shop upon commission, but the publication was under the management and at the expense of the plaintiff. The undertaking proceeded in this manner until the publication of the fifth number, when a dispute arose in consequence of an alteration in the title. Kirby refused to permit his name to appear to the work any longer. In December a final settlement of accounts took place, and the plaintiff circulated hand-bills, dated 20th Dec., stating that the succeeding numbers would be published by him, and the 6th No. would be published by him on Friday next, and that number was accordingly published by him on the 31st of December. On the 1st January, 1803, the 1st No. of a periodical work was published by the defendants Kirby and Scott, under a similar title, described as a “New Series Improved.” One of the arguments used by the defendants was that the plaintiff was not entitled to protection, as he, on his title-page, practised an imposition on the public by using the name of Granger, who did not exist. On the other hand, it was contended that the assumption of a fictitious name could not be considered a fraud upon the public, because it had to be done by “the most respectable authors.” But Lord Eldon said he had considerable difficulty as to the false colours under which the original publication appeared. Though it was very usual, he could not represent it to his mind otherwise than as something excessively like a fraud on the public. Kirby’s publication was restrained as a piracy and a breach of faith.
