Aventures de John Davy. Paris, 1840. 4 vols.

This romance, borrowed from the “Revue Britannique,” is said
to be superior to many productions of Dumas of the same kind.
“John Davy” is an English sailor, having a close relationship to
Captain Marryat’s of the same name. In a somewhat prosy letter of
Michael Angelo Titmarsh [Thackeray] to the most noble Alexandre
Dumas, Marquis Davy de la Pailleterie, in Fraser’s Magazine,
for 1846, he directly accuses him of having adopted it from the
English.

Les Trois Mousquetaires [written by Auguste Maquet], Paris, 1844. 8 vol. Vingt ans après suite des Trois Mousquetaires [by the same]. Paris, 1845, 10 vol. Dix ans après, ou le Vicomte de Bragelonne, deuxième suite des Trois Mousquetaires, 6 vols [by the same].

Dumas is said to have taken the idea of his almost interminable
novels from Richardson. Twenty-four volumes! When, however, the
ample margin is reduced, the type decreased in size, and the
blank paper extracted, these 24 vols are reduced to something
like reasonable proportions.

As he acknowledged in his preface, Alexander Dumas, or rather,
Aug. Maquet, made free use of the “Mémoires d’Artagnan,”
capitaine-lieutenant des Mousquetaires, [written by Sandraz
de Courtilz, 1702]. He also gives the title of a MS. he
found:--Mémoires de M. le Comte de la Fère, etc.--from which he
had also drawn much matter. This latter announcement induced a
learned French bibliograph to mention “the Three Musqueteers” as
a reprint of an old MS. The first-mentioned work exists, but the
MS. is a creation of the fertile novelist.

The great and deserved success of this romance, though in
point of morals it is not as unexceptionable as Monte Christo,
drew attention to an historical personage who had been totally
neglected, viz. Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known by the title
of the “comte d’Artagnan.”

Le Comte de Monte Christo. 1844-5. 18 vols.

The first part, the Château d’If, published separately, is
written by P. A. Fiorentino. Monte Christo, which is a sequel
to it, is written by Aug. Maquet. Two episodes are said to be
literally taken from Mémoires, etc., de la Police de Paris,
by J. Peuchet, 1837-8. They are “François Picaud, histoire
contemporaine,” and “Madame de Vartelle, ou un crime de famille.”
The only alteration in the last being in the title and names. “La
Roue de fortune,” of Auguste Arnould was made to contribute the
completion of the history of “M. Morel.” And there are probably
other “conquests” of the same nature undiscovered. Many pages are
said to have been taken from the German.

Our readers are doubtless aware that this most successful and
interesting piece of manufacture, was dramatised by the author,
and occupied _two nights_ in representation.

Innumerable are the tales of Dumas’ method of allotting and
selling his _manufactures_. He himself explains one: “Mr. Véron
came to me and said, ‘We are lost if we do not give in a week
from this, an amusing, brilliant, and sensational romance’ ...
You want a volume, that is 6,000 lines; 6,000 lines are 135
pages of my writing. Take this paper, number, and divide into
paragraphs 135 pages....”

We have contented ourselves with the dates when these works were
first published. They have been reprinted in every imaginable
form; and three different translations sometimes published in the
same language at one time.

The number of authors who claim or are said to have written
for Dumas is upwards of seventy. August Maquet alone furnished
him with twenty-four volumes: the Chevalier d’Harmental,
Sylvandire, the Guerre des Femmes, the Reine Margot, Chevalier de
Maison-Rouge, Mémoires d’un Médecin, those mentioned above, and
others.

The new editions of Monte Christo, Twenty Years After, etc., have
the joint names of Dumas and Maquet on the title-page.

In 1845 he published sixty volumes, whereupon de Mirecourt (see
Dumas Père, 1867) makes this calculation:

The most skilful copyist, writing 12 hours a day, can with
difficulty do 3,900 letters in an hour, which gives him at the
end of a day 46,800 letters, or 60 pages of a romance. Thus
he could copy five volumes octavo a month, and sixty a year,
supposing that he does not lose a second during the time.

For the facts above we are indebted to Quérard and De Mirecourt.
Some interesting notes on Dumas will be found in our “notice of
the life and works of Quérard, 1867.”

Nor can we omit, in concluding this notice of a most remarkable
book, some notice of the disputes as to its authorship. The
newspapers have been full of them. Mr. Anders, rector of Kirkby,
writes early in April of this year to assure the world that “the
author of Adam Bede is Mr. Liggins, of Nuneaton, Warwickshire,
and the characters whom he paints in Scenes of Clerical Life,
are as familiar there as the twin spires of Coventry.” But just
as we have satisfied our minds that this is the true state of
the case, and are feeling greatly obliged to Mr. Anders, a
wrathful letter from “George Eliot” disturbs us; asking (not
unreasonably) whether “the act of publishing a book deprives a
man of all claim to the courtesies usual amongst gentlemen?”...
Then some gentleman is “receiving subscriptions” as the ill-used
author of Adam Bede. Finally, the Messrs. Blackwood, turning
at last to throw a stone, declare that, “those works are not
written by Mr. Liggins, or by any one with a name like Liggins.”
... Now upon all this we have only to remark, that we cordially
agree in the dictum of Mr. Eliot, that “the attempt to pry into
what is obviously meant to be withheld,--his name,--is quite
indefensible.”--_Edinb. Rev._, 1859.

LITERARY BORROWING.

[_To the Editor of the_ ATHENÆUM].

Ivy Cottage, Ballard’s Lane, Finchley, Jan. 1, 1867.

May I utter a complaint touching a Mr. Grenville Fletcher, late
editor of the _Kentish Champion_, _Court Journal_, _Mirror
of the World_, _Hants Standard_, &c. Looking, as I always
do, in old bookshops, I came across a volume, the other day,
professing to be a third series of “Parliamentary Portraits,”
by this gentleman. A very small piece of silver secured for me
possession of the prize. On taking it home and examining it,
I find page after page reprinted from my “Modern Statesmen,”
without a single word of acknowledgment. Mr. Fletcher gives a
sketch of Viscount Palmerston, almost entirely mine. He devotes
eight pages to Sir James Graham; and more than six of them are
mine. I wrote an article on Mr. Brand; Mr. Fletcher reprints it,
slightly altering it. Thus he commences: “It was during the lull
of an evening debate I once beheld Lord John Russell carrying
on a friendly and good-natured conversation, on the Government
benches of the House of Commons. To see his lordship smile is a
very unusual circumstance, for he is mostly so excessively cold
in his manner--added to which there is a rigid demeanour about
him--as one would only expect to be evinced by a _great_ man,
knowing that he is part and parcel of that wonderful machine
the British Constitution.” I had written: “It was once my
good fortune to behold Lord John Russell smile, and carry on a
friendly conversation, on the Government benches of the British
House of Commons. Generally his lordship is cold and dignified
in his demeanour, as becomes a man who is part and parcel of
that wonderful machine the British Constitution.” In like manner
Mr. Fletcher has helped himself to my Sketches of Mr. Disraeli
and Mr. Lindsay. This gifted work is dedicated to Lord Llanover,
and bears on the title-page the respectable name of Mr. James
Ridgway, Piccadilly. In his Introduction the author expresses
his gratitude to the _members_ of his own _craft_ (the public
_press_) for the truthful, generous, and impartial mode in which
his portraits have been critically noticed. Surely Mr. Fletcher
might have expressed his gratitude to, amongst others, yours, &c.

This anonymous translator “violated the fidelity which he owed to
his author” by suppressing numerous passages, without taking the
slightest notice of such, and by altering other passages, and in
fact “cooking it up” to serve the then prevalent French notions.
A full account will be found in the Edinburgh Rev., 1810. Quérard
in his France Littéraire, quotes a passage which intimates that
Napoleon himself had a hand in the mutilation and suppression of
the obnoxious passages.

We believe he was not. It is most extraordinary that two persons
should, about the same time, write abridgments of the same work,
under the same pseudonym. But another extraordinary point is that
John Richard Green died in 1818, five years before his abridgment
was published! Mr. Foss seems to have been translated into German.

Miscellaneous Papers and Instruments under the hand and Seal of William Shakespeare, including the Tragedy of King Lear, and a small fragment of Hamlet, from the original. 1796, folio, £4. 4s.

An imposture on a grander scale was never conceived or executed;
and perhaps we may add, with all respect to the learned
celebrities who were deceived by it, that dupes more easily
satisfied, more credulous and unsuspecting, were never met with.
It must be admitted that a very opportune period was chosen for
the imposition; and taking into consideration the youth of the
individual by whom it was perpetrated,--that he had not at the
time attained his twentieth year,--it must also be confessed that
it was carried out with considerable cleverness and ingenuity.

Ireland was the son of a gentleman who is known as the author of
several Picturesque Tours, and some illustrations of Hogarth--a
man of considerable taste, and an ardent admirer of Shakespeare.

He had been articled to an attorney, and having daily
opportunities of inspecting ancient deeds and writings, he
seems to have occupied his leisure, first in deciphering, and
afterwards in copying and imitating them. Possessed of this
dangerous talent, his father’s reverence for the great English
dramatist, and his own ambition for distinction, suggested to
his mind the daring imposture by which he rendered himself
remarkable. From an attentive examination of the authentic
signature of Shakespeare, he soon learned to imitate the
character of his handwriting with facility; and from time to
time presented his father with scraps of MS., to account for the
possession of which he invented a most romantic and improbable
story.

For a long time Ireland made almost daily additions to his
pretended discoveries. Was it possible that his father had no
suspicion of their origin, and was he entirely deceived by the
monstrous assertions of his clever but unprincipled son? The
appearance of the MSS. went far to prove their genuineness. A
number of literary gentlemen voluntarily subscribed their names
to a declaration of their authenticity. It is further stated that
Mr. Boswell, the biographer of Johnson, previously to signing
his name, fell upon his knees, and in a tone of enthusiasm and
exultation thanked God he had lived to witness the discovery, and
exclaimed that he could now die in peace.

One of the ablest critics of the day, however, Mr. Malone,
remained unconvinced.

Believing himself possessed of a most invaluable treasure--in
spite of the protestations of his son, who dreaded and foresaw
the exposure of the fraud--Mr. Samuel Ireland determined on
publishing the “discoveries,” and printed a large portion of them
in a fine folio volume, the title of which is given at the head
of this article.

A very slight examination of this volume would, it has been
thought, have shown the transparency of the fraud.

The most daring imposition, however, remains to be told. On the
2nd of April, 1796, the play of Vortigern and Rowena “from the
pen of Shakespeare,” was announced for representation at Drury
Lane Theatre. Public excitement was at its height. As the evening
approached, every avenue to the theatre was thronged with anxious
crowds, eager to obtain admission. Thousands, it is said, were
turned away.

The fraud, however, was very soon discovered, and an attempt
that was made to announce the play for repetition was wisely
withdrawn, the unanimous voice of the public having proclaimed
the imposture. This failure was a death-blow to the fraud.
Gratified by the notoriety he had acquired, Ireland was induced
to publish the following full and free confession in “An
Authentic Account of the Shakespeare Manuscripts.”

“I solemnly declare, first, that my father was perfectly
unacquainted with the whole affair, believing the papers most
firmly the productions of Shakespeare. Secondly, that I am myself
both the author and writer, and had no aid from any soul living,
and that I should never have gone so far, but that the world
praised the papers so much, and thereby flattered my vanity.
Thirdly, that any publication which may appear tending to prove
the MSS. genuine, or to contradict what is here stated, is false;
this being the true account.

“W. H. IRELAND.”

It must be confessed that circumstances seemed to warrant the
suspicion that father and son were equally implicated, and even
the latter’s solemn declaration to the contrary could not remove
the impression that had been made on the public mind. To the
time of his death, in 1835, he carried with him the significant
sobriquet of Shakespeare Ireland.

The above is chiefly abridged from the article by F. Lawrence in
Sharpe’s London Magazine.

In Chalcographomania, which is said to be written by Ireland,
these observations are made. They almost seem to render his being
its author doubtful.

Weeps o’er false Shakesperian lore,
Which sprang from Maisterre Ireland’s store;
Whose impudence deserves the rod,
For having ap’d the muse’s god.

To this latter the following note is added.

“It has frequently afforded me a matter of astonishment to think
how this literary fraud could have so long duped the world,
and involved in its deceptious vortex such personages as Parr,
Wharton, and Sheridan, not omitting Jemmy Boswell, of Johnsonian
renown; nor can I even refrain from smiling whensoever the
volumes of Malone and Chalmers, together with the pamphlets of
Boaden, Waldron, Wyatt, and Philalethes, otherwise ---- Webb,
Esq., chance to fall in my way.”--p. 57.

JOBSON (Frederick J.) D.D.

Whether Dr. Jobson has been guilty of plagiarism is a difficult
matter to determine. So difficult, that taking into consideration
his denial, we shall let our readers judge for themselves, by
giving the accusation and answer from the Athenæum, with no
alteration but a correction of the paging, etc.

Supposing that there is no ground for accusing Dr. Jobson of
borrowing without acknowledgment, then this correspondence
comes in as part of our plan. It certainly is one of the most
remarkable instances of two writers expressing their ideas in
similar words, though at an interval of several years.

LITERARY LARCENY.
[To the Editor of the _Athenæum_].

Hammersmith, Feb. 14, 1863.

Some four or five years ago I published a little book of Travels
called ‘Southern Lights and Shadows,’ which--thanks to kindly
notices in your columns and elsewhere--was tolerably successful.
The work, however, was sadly abused in the Australian colonies,
and, for some reason or other which was never made apparent to
me, gave sore offence to the Methodists of New South Wales. The
volume has, I think, run out of print, and is probably by this
time forgotten. Nevertheless, it has strangely been decreed that
a leader of the body who were most offended at it shall revive
and perpetuate its “obnoxious” pages.

Within the last day or two a “second edition” of a book entitled
‘Australia; with Notes by the Way,’ by Frederick J. Jobson,
D.D., has come under my notice. I cannot exactly tell what led
me to look into its pages, unless from a desire of seeing how
a Methodist divine would deal with a subject which, under my
treatment, had proved so unpleasant to the Wesleyan community
of Trans-Pacifica. Imagine my surprise when I found that, from
the opening to the close of Dr. Jobson’s volume, the leading
paragraphs were stolen from my ‘Southern Lights and Shadows’!
This is a serious charge to bring against any author, and so
specially serious when brought against an author who carries
D.D. at the end of his name, that I feel bound to support it
with direct and unmistakeable evidence. I append, therefore,
in parallel columns, a few of the passages which appeared in
‘Southern Lights and Shadows’ in 1859, and which now re-appear,
with but the slightest and shallowest disguise (a disguise of
so transparent a character that, like the _coa vestis_, it only
serves to reveal what it affects to hide), in ‘Australia; with
Notes by the Way,’ in 1863:

_My Book_ [1859]. _Dr. Jobson’s Book_ [1863].

The evenings in Australia are The evenings at Sydney were at
singularly beautiful. I have often times singularly beautiful. The
read a newspaper by the light of moon was so bright and large that
the moon. The stars are very you could see to read by it. The
white and large, and seem to drop stars, too, were brighter and
pendulous from the blue, like larger than ours in appearance,
silver lamps from a dome of and seemed to drop like pendent
calaite.--P. 85. lamps of glittering crystal from
the deep blue dome above.--P. 126.

All Dr. Jobson does here is to give us his new lamps of crystal
for my old ones of silver.

_My Book._ _Dr. Jobson’s Book._

In Sydney and its immediate There are more than five hundred
neighbourhood there are no less public-houses in Sydney and
than five hundred public-houses, its immediate neighbourhood, and
many of them as great and garish some of them are as ... gay and
as the gin-palaces of London. garish as our own street corner
--P. 52. gin-palaces.--P. 157.

As Dr. Jobson was writing three years after me, he, no doubt,
conceived it a safe and subtle alteration to turn the word
“less” into “more;” but as the “five” was a misprint for _three_
in my book, his caution has only made the trap into which he
has put his foot clip it the closer. A similar maladroitness
characterizes the reverend author’s picking and stealing
throughout. The reader will see it strikingly displayed in the
next example, where the sentences are so unaltered in themselves,
and yet so changed in their sequence and order, that, like the
boy who steals the eggs in ‘Parents and Guardians,’ Dr. Jobson
evidently thinks he has only to shift position to annihilate
identity.

[For brevity we here omit two long parallel passages].

In the first-quoted plagiarism Dr. Jobson gave “crystal” for
“silver”--in the above he supplies “brittle pottery” for
“crystal.” My “dogs” only are afflicted by the hot wind--Dr.
Jobson blasts the beasts of the field and the birds of the air.
My “great-coat is buttoned tightly around” me--Dr. Jobson’s
“great-coat” is only thought “desirable.” But this is accounted
for, as with me the thermometer “sinks fifty or sixty degrees,”
while with Dr. Jobson it “sinks _down_” but “forty or fifty.” My
“compact wall,” “Last Seal” and “Apocalypse,” however, are taken
bodily. It is scarcely worth while pointing out the ludicrous
errors which, in “dodging” my description about, Dr. Jobson has
committed. The “brickfielder” is not the hot wind at all; it is
but another name for the cold wind or “southerly-buster,” which
_follows_ the hot breeze, and which, blowing over an extensive
sweep of sand-hills, called the Brickfields, semicircling Sydney,
carries a thick cloud of dust (or “brickfielder”) across the
city. How true is old Butler’s remark that some plagiarists
accompany their robberies with murder to prevent detection!

_My Book._ _Dr. Jobson’s book._

It (the mosquito) comes buzzing The pungent bites of musquitoes,
against your cheek with a drowsy which in the evening, whether
sing-song _whir_, fixes its suckers in public, social, or private life,
into the flesh, and bounds off with come buzzing against your cheek
another song--a kind of _carmen with a peculiar _whir_, fixing
triumphale_--leaving a large red their blood-suckers in the flesh,
mark behind it, which is far more and then, after drawing their full

epicures in their way--for which, until ripened to a yellow

the palm. In about two seconds evidently a high relish for the
one will sow it with bumps and round fat part of the hand, _from
blisters _from the wrist to the the wrist-bone to the little

them with bumps and blisters, not to
be forgotten till the next night,
if so soon. They, too, like the
boys in the streets, have wanton
pleasure in vexing “new chums.”
Pp. 158-9.

One very brief illustration more, and I have finished with Dr.
Jobson:--

_My Book._ _Dr. Jobson’s Book._

The shark gleaming, green and _Sat. March 2._--Pleasant passage
still, just an arm’s depth below down the harbour, in which,
the surface.--P. 131. gleaming, still and green, at not
more than an arm’s depth from
the surface, the ravenous shark
might be seen.--P. 173.

This last example raises one’s gorge. I close my book with an
attempt at a panorama of sea scenery, _and, in the middle of a
sentence_, are the words quoted in the left hand column above.
Dr. Jobson, after concluding his description of Sydney with
these words,--“Only let the churches of Christ send an adequate
number of missionaries to India, China, the multitude of the
isles, and to the interior of Africa, and these heathen regions
shall assuredly be evangelized: these realms of sin become the
kingdom of our God and of his Christ!” (p. 174)--opens the next
section of his book with _my_ fish! If a whale once appropriated
a missionary, verily here is a missionary appropriating a shark!

In closing, let me say that my only object in asking you to
insert this letter is to direct other writers on the subject to
Dr. Jobson’s book. If he has taken so much from me, I have no
doubt he has--to use an Australian phrase--“jumped other claims”
for the balance of his nuggets.

Frank Fowler.

47, City Road, March 3, 1863.

In justice alike to me and to the public who have purchased,
within fourteen months nearly three editions of my volume on
‘Australia, with Notes by the Way,’ I am sure you will give me
space to reply to a communication which appeared in your columns
of February 21, but which I did not see till nearly the end of
last week.

As to any quarrel which your Correspondent has had with my
friends on the other side of the globe I know nothing at all. Up
to the time when his letter was given in the _Athenæum_, I had
not heard of his ‘Southern Lights and Shadows;’ and as he states
that the book is out of print, I cannot hope to examine it [Dr.
Jobson could have seen it in the British Museum], else I should
be curious to learn how his “little book” on New South Wales
only, could supply the “leading paragraphs” “from the opening to
the close” of my post-octavo volume of nearly three hundred pages
[only 112 pages relate to Australia and Tasmania], and which
treats, not only of all the Australasian Colonies, but also of
all the principal countries in the way to them. I might also try
to ascertain whether he has broken up his own paragraphs, after
the fashion of his dealing with mine [The paragraphs seem to us
fairly quoted.] Every one knows how easy it is by such a process
to make things look alike, which are in their own setting and
original connexion sufficiently different. Not that I am about to
charge this writer with intentional misrepresentation: an attempt
at brevity may be a great part of the explanation.

The fact is, that in my travels I did as everybody else does:
that is, I read whatever came in my way bearing on the countries
through which I was passing; but I took care to note down my own
observations and impressions; and if, in doing so, some terms,
perfectly true to my own views, though, possibly, they had been
employed by others, adhered to my memory, and found their way
into my manuscript, no reader of books of travel could feel
surprise. In the several colonies of Australia, as in other parts
of the world (as often as I could do so), I availed myself of the
judgment of intelligent friends, who had the advantage of longer
residence, with a view to secure accuracy in the statement of
facts, etc. In this instance, there are peculiar circumstances
which, for explanation and proof, rest upon minute examination,
not only of my own manuscript notes, but also of the written
suggestions of others. And had the complainant communicated
with me through my publisher, or otherwise, there would have
been supplied to him evidence fully to account for the apparent
resemblances in subjects and terms to which he has referred. He
has not done so; and as I do not choose to leave the case, as
it really is, to depend upon my own single assertion, I have
submitted it, with all the papers in question, to gentlemen whose
public character and intellectual competency are above suspicion.
They all have authorized the appending of their names to the
following declaration by themselves; but as it is not necessary
to give all their signatures, I content myself with two: the one
by a gentleman of Cornwall, well known by his numerous writings;
and the other by a minister of high standing in the metropolis.

FREDERICK J. JOBSON.

of the correctness of his statement; and that there is no just
cause, literary or otherwise, for the unfavourable reflections
