Bibliophobia. Remarks on the present languid and depressed state of Literature.... Addressed to the Author of the Bibliomania [Rev. T. F. Dibdin]. By ——, &c. With notes by Cato Parvus [Richard Heber]. 1832.

The learned and rev. author of this, and the champion of bibliomanes, succumbed to the apparently inevitable destiny of all who have been engulphed in the vortex of bibliographic pursuits. Let the juvenile reader inclined to pursue bibliography as a science, avoid it as he would a pest, for it will blight his prospects and shatter his constitution if pursued, as it must be, when once entered upon. But once entered upon, it is the broad path that leads to endless labour, no reward but fame amongst a few men of science. Let Robert Watt, his sons, Lowndes, and, above all, J. M. Quérard, be his warnings.

SCHNUSE (C. H.), plagiarist.

GERMAN PLAGIARISM.

We are apt to charge one another with copying from the Germans, and there may be some among us who assume the credit of research upon materials which are found to hand in some German book. There may also be some who do nothing more than translate, and pass themselves off as authors. The following account will show that the converse may be true; that a German may translate scores of pages, one after another, from an English writer, and present them as his own. The theft is eight years old, but it is not likely that such a thing should be noticed immediately in England; and, moreover, it is desirable it should be known that lapse of time does not spell impunity. The owner in this case is Mr. J. R. Young; the appropriator is Dr. C. H. Schnuse, then of Heidelberg. Mr. Young began writing on the theory of equations in 1823, when he was the first elementary writer who saw the value of what is now current as Horner’s method, the great completion of the imperfect labours of Vieta, Briggs, and Newton in the numerical solution of equations. Mr. Young was afterwards the author of a long chain of well-known elementary works, and was for many years professor at Belfast. When the Institution of that place was converted into a Queen’s College, he was made to fall to the ground between the two stools, in a manner which he explained at the time in a pamphlet. Belfast is a place of many religious sores. Mr. Young was also unequally used in reference to his retiring pension; but this matter was afterwards righted by the Government, and, we believe, arrears were paid. We remember this by the opposition made by some honourable member, who rather suspected that a Belfast payment must be a job. The following dialogue ensued:—

Hon. Member.—Is Mr. Young a professor of theology?

Current Minister.—No! of mathematics.

Hon. Member.—I withdraw my opposition.

Mr. Young, who has written largely on the theory of equations, published his “Algebraical Equations of the higher order” in 1843. Dr. Schnuse published his “Theorie der höhen Algebräischen und der Transcendenten Gleichungen,” at Brunswick, in 1850. We have not troubled ourselves to reckon how much more than 100 pages, or less than 300, are taken from Mr. Young’s book. We dip into the chapter on Sturm’s theorem, and we find page after page, and example after example, as in Young: not merely the method and examples transcribed, but the intermediate paragraphs. Thus, having finished one example (Young, p. 242; Schnuse, p. 180), they both start off into the same other example in the following way:—

Young. Schnuse.

We shall now give an example that will in some measure illustrate the preceding observations. Wir wollen diese allgemeinen Bemerkungen gleichsam noch durch ein Beispiel erläutern.

And so on to the end of the chapter. We amused ourselves by finding out how a person without any German might detect the copying. By the examples, of course: the Arabic numerals are common to both nations. But at the end of this chapter the English reader sees that the method of Fourier has a practical value, while at the end of the German this same English reader catches sight of Fourier Methode and Praktischen Werth. Then, in the first sentence of the next chapter, on Horner’s method, the English eye may still see something in the German text:—

Young. Schnuse.

The method of approximation to the real roots of numerical equations to be discussed in the present chapter, is that which was first proposed by Mr. Horner, and published by him in the Philosophical Transactions, in the year 1819. Die Methode zur näherungsweisen Berechnung der reellen Wurzeln der Zahlengleichungen welche wir in diesem Kapitel auseinan- dersetzen wollen, rührt von Horner her, welcher sie im Jahre 1819 in den Philosophical Transactions veröffentlicht hat.

Then follows many and many a page of examples and illustrations common to both writers. Dr. Schnuse mentions Mr. Young’s name in reference to another matter, at the end of the work: alluding to him, not as a writer, but as the inventor of a method.

The facetious Hierocles tells the story of a man who, having a house to sell, carried about a brick as a specimen. The bricks of which books are built are specimens; and seldom is it that two or three bricks are piled together in two different books in exactly the same way, by nothing but coincidence. The same ideas often strike different persons fairly; it is very rare indeed that the same sentence occurs to both, if of ten or fifteen words. It has been noted that Terence says, I præ, sequar, and that some modern dramatists have hit on, Go before, I’ll follow. This is, perhaps, nearly the utmost extent to which different writers fall on the same collocations of words: four, five, or six at a time.

The unscrupulous man whom we have exposed might have been an honourable translator; he has chosen to be a dishonourable transformer. We dismiss him with the remark that he has added one to the number of inconvertible identities: Schnuse is German for Young, but Young is not English for Schnuse.—Athenæum, 5th March, 1859, p. 321.

SCOTT (Sir Walter) Bart.

The following works have been falsely, or fraudulently with intent to deceive, attributed to England’s greatest novelist. The reader will look in vain for them in Lockhart’s Life of Sir W. Scott:

The Lay of the Scottish Fiddle, a tale of Havre de Grace. Supposed to be written by Walter Scott Esq. First American from the fourth Edinburgh Edition. New York, 1813. [By James Kirke Paulding.]

The Bridal of Caölchairn, and Miscellaneous Poems. By Sir Walter Scott, Bart. 5th edition, London, Hurst & Co. and Edinburgh, Constable, 1822, 8vo. [By J. H. Allan.]

“This pretended ‘5th edition’ differs in the title-page only from the first edition [same year], bearing the name of the real author, J. H. Allan.”—Note in B. M. Cat.

Die Erstürmung von Selama, oder die Rache. Eine schottische Sage von Walter Scott. 3 Bde, Quedlinburg und Leipzig, 1825.

Walladmor. Frei nach dem Englischen des Walter Scott, von W....s, 3 Bde., Berlin, F. A. Herbig, 1824. [By G. W. H. Haering, known in Germany under the pseudonym, Willibald Alexis].

“James Ballantyne’s satisfaction went on increasing as the MS. flowed in upon him; and he at last pronounced The Talisman such a masterpiece that The Betrothed might venture abroad under its wing. Sir Walter was now reluctant on that subject, and said he would rather write two more new novels than the few pages necessary to complete his unfortunate Betrothed. But while he hesitated, the German newspapers announced “A new Romance by the Author of Waverley” as about to issue from the press of Leipzig. There was some ground for suspecting that some of the suspended sheets might have been purloined and sold to a pirate, and this consideration put an end to his scruples. And when the German did publish the fabrication entitled Walladmor, it could no longer be doubtful that some reader of Scott’s sheets had communicated at least the fact that he was breaking ground in Wales.”—Lochhart’s Life of Scott.

Walladmor: “Freely translated into German from the English of Sir Walter Scott,” and now freely translated from the German into English. In 2 vols, London, printed for Taylor and Hessey, 1825.

This fabrication which is full of gross anachronisms, was translated into French [by A. J. B. Defauconpret] from the English version. Paris, 1825, 3 vols. A long account will be found in the Lond. Magazine, x. 353 (says Bohn’s Lowndes which gives the title incorrectly from that journal.) It seems Sir Walter did not supply novels in sufficient numbers for the German appetite, or else they were too expensive for the frugal German pockets. At all events here is another by the same author, who is still living:—

Schloss Avalon. Frei nach dem Englischen des Walter Scott vom Uebersetzer des Walladmor. 3 Bde. Leipzig, F. A. Brockaus [a very celebrated firm by the way], 1827.

Aymé Verd, roman inédit de, etc., précédé d’une lettre du capitaine Clutterbuch [written in French by M. Calais, assisted, Quérard says, by Théod. Anne]. Paris, 1842, 2 vols.

Allan Cameron [by the same]. Paris, 1842, 2 vols, a German translation, published in 1841.

Le Proscrit des Hébrides, roman inédit. [Written by Jules David]. Paris, 1843.

La Pythie des Highlands, roman inédit [same]. Paris, 1844.

Moredun; a tale of the Twelve Hundred and Ten. [Edited by E. de Saint Maurice Cabany, who attributes the authorship to Sir W. S.]. 3 vols, London, published for the proprietor (Cabany) by Sampson Low, 1855.

This novel is not put forth under any false pretences. The proprietor believes it to be a genuine work of the great unknown.

SCRIBBLER (Blank) phren. [ ].

SCRUTATOR, phrenonym [C. P. Measor?]

Irish Fallacies and English Facts, etc., on the Convict System, etc. Lond., 1863.

We have above a dozen “Scrutators,” who are unknown to us in their real presence.

SCULPTOR (Satiricus) Esq., phrenonym [W. H. Ireland is the reputed author].

Chalcographimania, or the Portrait Collector and Printseller’s Chronicle, with infatuations of every description. A humorous poem. R. S. Kirby, 1814. Dedicated to James Bindley, and dated from Cambridge.

Thomas Hartwell Horne, in his Introduction to the Study of Bibliography, p. 521, says: The deserved popularity of the Bibliomania (by T. F. Dibdin) suggested to some anonymous writer the idea of satirizing the mania for prints in a volume.... Of this the less is said the better. The poem is anything but humorous, and to the notes may justly be applied the author’s motto Caeoethes Carpendi: it is throughout tinctured with malevolence. The cut prefixed purports to be copied from an unique print of Will Somers, the jester, which has no existence!

Lowndes says that it was written from information mostly furnished by T. Coram. If it was written by Ireland, it seems strange that the following verses should occur:—

And others which will be found in this volume under Ireland (W. H.)

SEARCH (John) pseud. [Archbishop Whately].

Considerations on the Law of Libel. London, 1833.

A reply to this was published by “S. N.” [The Bishop of Ferns].

Religion and her Name, a Metrical Tract, 1841.

In this the author says:—“In resuming on this occasion the signature prefixed by him some years ago to a pamphlet on the subject of Religious Libel, the author of these stanzas takes the opportunity of stating that, except in the present instance and in that of the pamphlet alluded to, he is not accountable for anything that may have appeared under the signature of John Search. He is led to mention this from the circumstance of some other writer having assumed the same signature about a twelvemonth, more or less, after he had adopted it; and forthwith prefixed it to sundry publications of his own. He would also deprecate, could he think it necessary, the supposition that he could have meant by such title to imply any sort of pretensions as regards the peculiar qualifications for learned research.”—Preface.

Arthur Fitzalbini, a novel. 1810.

Sir Ralph Willoughby, a tale. 1820.

Sir Egerton Brydges is a gentleman well known to be devoted to literature,—and now a traveller, who may emphatically be said to drag at each remove a lengthening chain. It has also happened to us lately to be travellers, and wherever we went we found vestiges of Sir Egerton,—remnants of his mind, in the shape of English books, printed in foreign parts, for the benefit, we presume, of the natives. At Geneva, early last year, we encountered Sir Egerton’s volume on Political Economy, with Packhoud’s imprint—drawn from our countryman, no doubt, by his breathing the same air with Sismondi. At Florence he had dropped a volume of tales and poetry. In the autumn we were at Rome, and heard from our valet de place, as his first piece of news, that Sir Brydges had established a printing press in the eternal city, under the protection of a cardinal. At Naples, almost the first book we met with was the work, the title of which stands at the head of this notice, and which is the commencing number of a series, which the Chevalier Du Pont (as Sir Egerton Brydges was called at Paris) intends perseveringly to continue, unless he should be stopped by an invasion or an eruption. Every man has his hobby, says Sterne; a printing press seems to be Sir Egerton’s:—but that he should go abroad to print and publish English books, is surely strange! His ambition was once to “witch the world” with smart volumes “from the private press at Lee Priory;” but as if a private press in his own country was not sufficiently secluded from the interference of the impertinent curiosity of readers, he has now allowed his love of obscurity as an author to carry him away to strangers altogether,—amongst whom he may reasonably hope to be able to print and publish once a month or oftener, without running any very imminent hazard of having his modest pages rumpled or fluttered by the eagerness of perusal.—Blackwood’s Mag., Feb., 1821.

SHAKESPEARE (William).

The spurious or doubtful plays of Shakespeare occupy six closely printed columns in the new edition of Lowndes by H. G. Bohn, to which we refer the reader.

It is not often that we have occasion to praise this work, nor have we been much indebted to it. The bibliogram on Shakespeare is really so thoroughly worked up, that we have very great pleasure in testifying to its usefulness; and whenever we mention Shakespeare, if further information is required, Lowndes by Bohn should be referred to.

These letters (to the poet-laureate Southey) were originally published by Mr. Murray, in 1836, and called “The Borders of Tamar and Tavy.” Mr. Bohn purchased the remaining copies of Mr. Murray, and, I am sorry to state, gave the work a new title-page, calling it “Traditions of Devonshire.” It relates only to the neighbourhood of Tavistock and Dartmoor. Works, 1845, 10 vols.

SURREBUTTER (John) Esq., phren. [John Anstey, son of the author of the celebrated “New Bath Guide”].

This witty little poem which contains so many hits at the author’s own profession, has been frequently reprinted since 1796.

Lord Campbell, in his Lives of the Justices, quotes these lines:—

And observes that “Tom Tewkesbury” was the Hero of the Guide, which he thinks has become almost unintelligible, from the changes in our legal procedure. The noble lord relates that he had heard Professor Porson, at the Cider Cellars, in Maiden Lane, now no more, recite the whole from memory, and that he concluded by relating that when buying a copy of it, and complaining that the price was very high, the bookseller said, “Yes, Sir, but you know Law-Books are always very dear.”

TERNAUX-COMPANS (Henri).

Catalogue des livres et MSS. de la bibliothèque de feu M. Rætzel. Paris, 1836.

When this gentleman wished to dispose of a portion of his curious collections, he took a fancy to be enigmatic on the occasion, and part was offered for sale as the property of a fictitious Englishman, Mr. Riddell, and part as the property of a fictitious German, Herr Rætzel. “Räthsel” in German is the equivalent of “riddle” in English, and the riddle has remained a riddle to many bibliographers to this day. The Athenæum, from whose number for March, 1860, we take this, gives an instance of a very learned German bibliograph, Dr. Graesse, being thus misled. As he more than once in his Trésor des Livres Rares, etc., quotes the prices at the sale of “M. Rætzel.” This last is mentioned by Harrisse in his Bib. Americana, 1866. See also Quérard La France Litt. ix. 374.

De Manne (3103), who attributes “Elisa Rivers” to Miss Kelly. Quérard, in his corrections, says this is an error, which we believe is true, but he makes a worse one, for he says it is by Mary Brunton. “Alice Rivers” is by Miss M. A. Kelty, but who is “Elisa” by?

The Doctor’s Wife, London, 1864. Aurora Floyd. Henry Dunbar, 1864. Sir Jasper’s Tenant, 1864. See Lascelles (Lady C.) pseud.

The opening chapters of Lady Audley’s Secret were first published anonymously in Robin Goodfellow, a journal conducted by Charles Mackay, in 1861. It ceased at the twelfth number. Four octavo pages of the latter, in double columns, make 24 pages in the three volume reprint, in which the fact of its having previously appeared is not mentioned.

Henry Dunbar, the Story of an Outcast. By the Author of Lady Audley’s Secret. Maxwell & Co., 1864.

On the publication of this work the “Athenæum” made the following remarks:

“The Publication of a new novel by Miss Braddon seems to bring, as a matter of course, a renewal of the old puffery. We shall take the liberty of telling all parties concerned that the thing is over done. People are growing suspicious of books which begin—as far as they can see—with a second edition.”

This novel was first published in a serial form in the London Journal in 1864, under the title of “The Outcast,” though this fact is not mentioned in the re-issue. With regard to the second edition being the first, the latter was doubtless a very small one, and this may not unjustly be considered as part of the “puffing system,” which we by no means condemn, if carried on honestly. A certain amount of puffing for an unknown writer is necessary to bring him into notice; but our readers may judge for themselves of the following paragraph, sent by the publishers of the novel to the “Athenæum” for publication:

“Henry Dunbar—The publishers state that the whole of the 1st edition of this new novel, by the author of ‘Lady Audley’s Secret’ has been completely exhausted on the first day of publication; and that a second edition is in the press, and will be ready on Monday next. Admirers of Miss Braddon’s prolific pen have much cause to rejoice in her popularity, the growth of which is now made more manifest than ever by the simultaneous issue of her writings in the French, German, and English languages, etc.”

Mr. Maxwell has the sanction of the law for this proceeding:—“the Vice-Chancellor apprehended that if a publisher chose to print 20,000 copies, keeping in his storehouse a large quantity, and periodically issuing them to the world, by thousands, for instance, every such issue would be an edition.”—Reade v. Bentley, Phillips, p. 73.

Discipline. A Novel. Edin., 1814. Lond., 1847.

The authoress began writing this in 1812, the year in which Waverley burst upon the novel world. In a letter, she says of her work:—

“It is very unfortunate in coming after Waverley, by far the most splendid exhibition of talent in the novel way which has appeared since the days of Fielding and Smollett. There seems little doubt that it comes from the pen of Scott. What a competitor for poor little me! The worst of all is, that I have ventured unconsciously on Waverley’s own ground, by carrying my heroine to the Highlands!”

“Till I began Self-Control [1811] I had never in my life written anything but a letter or a receipt, excepting a few hundreds of vile rhymes, from which I desisted by the time I had gained the wisdom of fifteen years; therefore I was so ignorant of the art on which I was entering, that I formed scarcely any plan for my tale. I merely intended to show the power of the religious principle in bestowing self-command, and to bear testimony against a maxim as immoral as indelicate, that a reformed rake makes the best husband.”—Mary Brunton to Joanna Baillie.

Versions have been procured in almost every European language; and there are some, Welsh and Wallachian, for instance, in which there are double or triple versions of this particular book, while there is hardly a double version of any other except the Bible.”

The author, Dr. Cumming, sent to the Times an account of a successful honey harvest about the end of July last (1864). This led to various inquiries by different writers addressed to that journal, which, having been forwarded to the ‘Bee-Master,’ a series of six other letters on bees and wasps was subsequently published.... They occupy 50 pages of the volume before us, which consists of 224.... All this was written, printed, and published, with a number of woodcuts, by the end of September!” The writer (in the Athenæum) concludes by saying that it is “an amusing addition to the bibliography of the hive.”

MR. THORNBURY’S “LIFE OF TURNER.” (To the Editor of the Athenæum.)

Hutton, Brentwood, Dec. 2, 1861.

“Turner hated plagiarism,” says Mr. Thornbury in his recently published life of our great landscape painter (vol. ii. p. 256); and he endeavours to show, in no very graceful terms, in his preface, that plagiarism in literature is as repugnant to his feelings as a man of letters, as plagiarism in art was to the artist. “Mr. Timbs,” remarks the biographer, “with little of that courtesy which should distinguish literary men, plying his scissors with his usual industry, has lately cut out a dozen or two of trite or erroneous Turner stories, and published them in a catchpenny form, for which—as partly fulfilling Job’s wish—I thank him.”

I may very fairly exclaim with Gratiano, “I thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that word”; for Mr. Thornbury has plied his scissors on a short memoir of Turner of mine with a prodigality that seems almost incredible. Mr. Timbs, the prolific compiler, publishes his Turner stories as a compilation. Mr. Thornbury prints all the best of my Turner stories, scattered over many pages, as his own. In the last edition of Turner’s “Rivers of France,” published in 1853, by Mr. Bohn, there is a memoir of the artist by Mr. Alaric Watts, in which is included six pages of extracts from my memoir, with honourable mention of me as the author. I need only refer to Mr. Watts’s extracts, because it is from these that Mr. Thornbury has helped himself. Out of the six pages (p. xlii. to xlviii.) containing them, he has appropriated three; the contents appear in vol. i. pp. 67 and 198-199, and in vol. ii. pp. 130-131, 141, 161, 217-218 and 318. The first extract Mr. Thornbury takes the trouble to rewrite:—

Reeve, 1851. Thornbury, 1861.

“He would walk through portions of England, twenty to twenty-five miles a day, with his little modicum of baggage at the end of a stick, sketching rapidly on his way all striking pieces of composition, and marking effects with a power that daguerrotyped them in his mind. There were few moving phenomena in clouds shadows which he did not fix indelibly in his memory.” “He walked twenty to twenty-five miles a day, with his baggage tied up in a handkerchief, and swinging on the end of a stick. He sketched quickly all the good pieces of composition he met. He made quick pencil notes in his pocket-book, and photographed into his mind legions of transitory effects by aid of a stupendous, retentive, and minute memory.”

Mr. Thornbury, thinking probably that my style was now sufficiently elegant for his purpose, lays down the pen for the scissors. His next extract, commencing “An intimate friend, while travelling in the Jura,” vol. i. p. 198-199, is printed verbatim. The next cutting is manipulated with the skill of an accomplished penny-a-liner. It occupies an entire page of Mr. Thornbury’s work, vol. ii. pp. 130-131, commencing “One element in Turner’s success was his indifference to praise,” and ending “He felt keenly the ignorant criticisms and ridicule with which his own pictures were sometimes treated.” The ingenuity exercised to give originality to this paragraph consists in half a dozen lines in one part of it being printed between turned commas, and attributed to Mr. Peter Cunningham! The fourth extract, p. 141, commencing “He never would tell his birthday,” is printed verbatim. Of the next interpolated paragraph, p. 161, commencing “He wrote few letters,” I have less to complain of. Mr. Thornbury does not print this, similar to the rest, as his own, but, like a vast number of other collectanea in his book, between turned commas, without acknowledgment or reference. The next extract occupies an entire page, p. 217-218, and is printed, also, verbatim; it commences, “Turner was always on the alert for any remarkable effects,” and ends, “in which the great artist’s attention had been caught by the hissing and puffing and glowing fire of the locomotive.” The seventh and last clause in my indictment against Mr. Thornbury is a short one; and as it is altered I must ask permission to give it entire:—

Reeve, 1851. Thornbury, 1861.

“There is yet another portrait to record: Mr. Charles Turner, A.R.A., the mezzotint engraver of his Liber Studiorum, and his oldest and most constant friend, was so desirous of securing a like- ness of him, that he offered to pay Sir Thomas Lawrence, or any other artist that Turner should name, if he would only consent to sit, but he was not to be prevailed upon. Mr. C. Turner was, however, determined to have a likeness of him at all hazards, and availed himself from time to time of every opportunity of collecting memoranda for the purpose. He at length obtained a most charact- eristic portrait in oil, small, half-size, in the act of sketching. The singularity of his dress and figure have been scrupulously attended to, and it has been pronounced an admirable and faithful likeness. It will be gratifying to Turner’s friends to know that Mr. C. Turner intends to engrave the portrait.” “There is yet another portrait to record. Mr. Charles Turner, A.R.A., the mezzotint engraver of his Liber Studiorum, and his oldest and most constant friend, was so desirous of securing a like- ness of him at all hazards, that he availed himself from time to time of every opportunity of collecting memoranda for the purpose. He at length obtained a most characteristic portrait in oil, small, half-size, in the act of sketching. The singularity of his dress and figure have been scrupulously attended to, and it has been pronounced an admirable and faithful likeness. I believe that Mr. C. Turner engraved this portrait.”

If anything were needed to show the worthlessness of Mr. Thornbury’s “Life of Turner,” it is the unnecessary appropriation of this passage. One would think that a chapter devoted especially to “The Turner Portraits,” about which so much curiosity prevails, would be at least marked by some research. But Mr. Thornbury cuts out my paragraph in all its detail, as related to me by Charles Turner himself, bad grammar—a common failing with Mr. Thornbury (here printed in Italic)—included; and having run his pen through the rash assertion of the engraver, that he had offered to give a commission to Sir Thomas Lawrence, winds up simply with the remark, “I believe that Mr. C. Turner engraved this portrait.” Mr. Thornbury, perceiving in my statement of ten years ago that Mr. C. Turner intended to engrave it, assumes that he did engrave it. By happy accident, in no way, however, due to Mr. Thornbury’s research, he has hit the mark; for on the death of Charles Turner, about three years ago, the secret came to light, at the sale of his effects, as every dilettanti knows, of his having engraved this portrait as long back, apparently, as twenty years before. What criticism, then, can be too strong to denounce Mr. Thornbury’s random assertion, “I believe Mr. Charles Turner engraved this portrait”? A print from this plate, which it is suspected the sly engraver destroyed, may be seen at Mr. Graves’, the eminent publisher of Pall Mall.

My memoir of Turner, it may be added, was drawn up from vivâ voce information imparted to me by some of the great artist’s most intimate friends within three days of his decease,—Mr. Charles Turner, one of his executors, and Mr. Leslie, both of whom have since followed him to the grave; Mr. Windus, and others.

Speaking of dear old John Britton, the well-known author of many beautiful works of vast and original research on the Cathedrals of England—a man whose memory is cherished by every true-hearted antiquary with homage and respect—Mr. Thornbury says (vol. ii. p. 151)—“There is a story told of Turner’s love of concealment, which connects him with Britton, the publisher of so many architectural works; a plausible and, I fear, a very mean man; one of those bland, selfish squeezers of other men’s brains that still occasionally disgrace literature.” To whom should this scandalous observation be addressed? I trust that some new biographer of Turner will arise to board this piratical craft, and rescue the valuable freight which the painter’s bosom friends have committed to its keeping. It must be painful, indeed, to these gentlemen, to Mr. Trimmer, and to Mr. Ruskin especially, to find their precious reminiscences mixed up with such an unlettered commentary. How light the manner, how flippant the treatment, how utterly unworthy of a great subject!

Lovell Reeve.

It may be as well to observe that Mr. Thornbury in no way spares other writers in his criticisms: will any one, twenty years hence, quote Mr. Thornbury’s own words in regard to himself:—“Tawdry rubbish—now all but forgotten, and soon to sink deep in the mud-pool of oblivion.”

Mr. Thornbury’s preface is good—indeed, we believe he never writes anything badly, but it reminds us of Dr. Johnson, who wrote capital prefaces to works which, if he ever read, he never wrote. It is written in his richest style, redolent with word-painting: he uses adjectives in the happiest manner. Unfortunately this use of adjectives is apt to lead a writer from dry facts; and the above “Life” appears to have got him into a little trouble, for the details of which we must refer to the Athenæum, 1861, vol. ii, where Mr. Masson complains of Mr. Thornbury’s disrespect (p. 808), “Inventions about Turner,” from Mr. Henry M‘Connel (848)—“Turner and Girtin,” a refutation from Mr. W. H. Carpenter, Keeper of the Prints and Drawings at the British Museum; 1862, vol. i., p. 19—from Mr. John Pye, and (296, 331)—from Mr. Henry Elliot (G. Lewis, 334), all complaining.

A captious letter from Mr. Thornbury in the number for 22nd February, 1862, leaves him in a worse light than if he had been silent. We therefore omit it. He ends by saying that “no falsehood and no intentional plagiarism shall ever stain a single page I write,” which probably referred to the future, for “The Life of Turner” disproves these words.

Mr. Thornbury, amongst other works, has written “The Monarchs of the Main, 1855.” In the preface to this he claims at least “originality,” which seems to consist, according to his own account, in his having taken it, more or less, from three other works, without, as Professor De Morgan somewhere remarks, any evidence being left as to whether it is more or less. The same observations will apply to “British Artists, from Hogarth to Turner; being a series of Biographical Sketches, by W. T., &c., 1861,” which seems to be compiled almost entirely from (apparently) original sources.

An Answer to Mr. Lund’s Attack on Mr. Todhunter. Cambridge, Palmer, 1858.

The copyright of Wood’s work having expired, it is public property, so far as law is concerned. Mr. Lund in his pamphlet proves that Mr. Todhunter has taken, without acknowledgment, what he had a legal right to take, to the extent of under one-thirtieth of his whole book.

Mr. Todhunter admits the charge, but defends his course on the ground that Wood is so well known that any use made of him would at once be recognised, that the omission was out of consideration for Mr. Lund.

But, as the writer in the Athenæum, from whence we take this note (1858, ii. 81, 110), observes, a person already in possession of Wood, and wishes to have another author, would be grossly deceived if he bought the same under another name: he adds that there is a very lax view of such things taken at Cambridge, and instances a case, but, we regret to say, gives no names.

The publisher is one of the regular agents for that system of societies, of which the eldest assumed the title of “The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge,” and the latest has not feared to proclaim itself “The Society for the Diffusion of Political Knowledge.” The founder and president of all these ultra-philanthropic societies is Henry Lord Brougham and Vaux; and common report has ascribed to his lordship’s versatile pen the pages which his lordship’s agent, Mr. Hooper, has just published as the production of “Isaac Tomkins, Gentleman.”

We have, from internal evidence, no sort of doubt that the public report is in this instance correct.—Quarterly Review, liii. 540.

“In the summer of 1825 I had apartments in the Rue Verte, Brussells. My locataire was a Monsieur Urbain; and his not very youthful daughter took much pride in telling me of their lineal descent from an Englishman of that name—a distinguished writer, she said, in prose and in verse. Seeing me somewhat at a loss to identify this ancestor of her’s, she further informed me that his prænomen was Sylvain. I of course recognised our old acquaintance of St. John’s Gate, and delighted Mademoiselle with the assurance that her great-grandfather’s names, as well as his talents, had been transmitted through his descendants to that day.”—E.

Cursory Remarks on the Article in the Edinburgh Review relative to Mr. Warden’s Letters from St. Helena [Lond?], 1817. Signed “Waterloo.”

“... That which is best known in England are the letters of Mr. Warden, who has been made (we will not say the innocent, but) the ignorant tool of the cabal. Our readers will recollect that in our review of this man’s work [xvi. 208] we ventured to assert—1st, that no such letters were ever written; and 2d, that Mr. Warden only brought home with him certain notes of conversations with Buonaparte and his followers of which the tone and substance were made to fit, not the truth of the facts, but the object which Buonaparte had to accomplish.

“These suspicions have been fully realized.—Mr. Warden, though he affects in an advertisement to a new edition of his work to take notice of our animadversions, does not venture to affirm that such letters ever were written. He confesses indeed that he employed a literary man to correct his work, but alleges that this person added nothing of his own: but we repeat it, he does not and he cannot deny that the character of letters written from St. Helena, which was intended to give authority to and to vouch for the authenticity of his work, is false, and that the whole foundation and substance of his apology for Buonaparte (for such it is) was information given him by that person and his followers, and given by them for the purpose of publication.

“We have been informed that when Mr. Warden had left St. Helena, it was well known to all the French that he was carrying home notes for publication: and that, on the arrival of a ship from England which brought newspapers and books, Buonaparte heedlessly asked if Warden’s book was come. Unluckily, Mr. Warden’s book was only published in London about the time when Buonaparte asked the question, and was not known at St. Helena for six weeks after. Whether it was by Buonaparte’s desire that Warden gave his publication the shape in which we see it, or whether the surgeon acted from a natural tendency to sophistication, we cannot pretend to say,—it is enough for us to repeat, that his book is a gross imposition; the substance of which are the falsehoods of Las Cases and Buonaparte, and the shape of which is the fabrication of the anonymous editor.”—Quarterly Review, xvi. 486.

* Letters from the Cape of Good Hope, in reply to Mr. Warden; with Extracts from the great work now compiling for publication under the inspection of Napoleon. 1817; 8vo; 206.

It is just as we expected—and our readers will have been prepared by the ninth article of our thirty-second number for this publication. We have here another of the series of tricks with which Buonaparte endeavours to keep himself alive in the recollection of Europe. It is, like all the rest, fraudulent in its title, shape, and pretensions; false in its facts; and jacobinical in its object. But it has this claim to consideration beyond its predecessors, that it comes from a source so nearly connected with Buonaparte as to give it in some degree the authority of being his own apology made by himself. It tells us, indeed, little or nothing in the way of fact that is not familiar to our readers; but it speaks in a more decisive tone—it shows by the subjects on which it attempts its apologies whereabout (to use a vulgar phrase) the shoe pinches; and it proves by the futility of them....

We have said that the very form of this publication is fraudulent. The author has, in this particular, closely imitated Mr. Warden. It pretends to be a series of Letters: no such letters were ever written. It is addressed to a Dear Lady C——: the Dear Lady C—— is not in existence. It affects to be originally written in English: it was written in French, and the pretended original is only a translation; and to crown the whole, the author assumes the character of an Englishman, while in fact he is a Frenchman, and no other, we are satisfied, than the notorious Count de las Cases, of whose veracity and honour our readers have already had some tolerable specimens.

We shall not waste much time in explaining the ear-marks by which (in addition to their own solemn and repeated assertions to the contrary) we recognize these Letters to be a translation from the French. The most careful and adroit translator cannot always escape the intrusive treachery of gallicisms: but every page of this work abounds, with them; half a dozen out of as many hundreds will more than suffice to convince our readers....

The facts, or rather, the falsehoods, might indeed have been put together by Montholon, or any other of the clique; but the style of the pamphlet, and several circumstances connected with Las Cases, leave, as we have said, little doubt in our minds that he is, immediately or remotely, the author of it. But, whoever be the writer, it must be considered as coming from Buonaparte himself; and assured, as we are, that it is derived from him, and published, if not with his knowledge, at least in concurrence with his wishes, we shall persist in considering it as the apology of the ex-emperor dictated by himself.

Our readers will have observed that the work is entitled “a Reply to Mr. Warden.” We find in the outset a complete substantiation of our charges against that person....

But though this work is thus announced as a reply to Mr. Warden, our readers will smile to hear that there is hardly one substantial contradiction of his statements; in fact the book is merely a postscript to Warden’s, repeating all his apologies for Buonaparte, but with greater care and skill—softening down passages which had excited indignation—strengthening points which had been found weak—reconciling contradictions which had been detected—supplying eulogies and panegyrics upon themselves which had been omitted—and, in short, publishing Mr. Warden’s letters as Buonaparte and Las Cases originally intended that they should have been published by him.—Quarterly Review, 1817, xvii. 507, et seq.

Allowance must be made for the political bias of the reviewer.

WHITE (Babington) pseudonym: plagiarist.

The plagiarism committed by “Mr. B. White” is in a novel first published in a serial form in Belgravia, a monthly magazine, of which Miss Braddon is “conductor,” and Mr. Maxwell proprietor. No sooner was “Circé” republished in the usual form by Messrs. Ward, Lock, and Tyler, the publishers, than the press exposed the plagiarism. The Pall Mall Gazette of the 16th September, 1867, in an article entitled “Dalila” and “Circé,” after noting that “Dalila,” by M. Octave Feuillet, was published in 1855, gave parallel passages, which completely proved the theft from “Dalila”:

“Even the title of the English book is due to a suggestion of M. Feuillet: ‘Omphale, Circé Dalila! ces noms de magiciennes qui flamboient comme des phares dans la tradition du monde, comment ne m’ont-ils pas éclairé’? One can fancy the English author divided between the merits of the titles ‘Omphale’ and ‘Circé,’ and ultimately deciding in favour of the shorter one; especially as there could be little question about the method of pronouncing it—‘Omphale’ suggesting difficulties of quantity to many. And then the author has had the effrontery here and there to head his chapters with garbled quotations from the French work, taking care of course to suppress all mention of the source of his extracts!

“The crying offence of the book, however, is its absolute dishonesty. Its adapter is simply attempting to palm off upon the English public as an original novel a book stolen from the French, altered in some respects, lengthened and much maltreated altogether, but with its origin still clearly to be traced by those who will trouble themselves to examine into the matter. We claim a right to protest against a proceeding so fraudulent. In all cases of adaptation—let it be a play from a play, as ‘The Streets of London,’ from ‘Les Pauvres des Paris’—or a play from a novel, as ‘Still Waters Run Deep,’ from ‘Le Gendre’—or a novel from a novel, as ‘The Doctor’s Wife,’ from ‘Madame Bovary,’ and ‘Circé’ from ‘Dalila’—it is the merest justice that the obligation to the foreign and original author should be publicly acknowledged and formally placed upon record.”
