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,

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:--
Three years I sat his smoky room in,
Pens, paper, ink, and pounce consuming.
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

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.

Numerous pieces under this pseudonym.
In an excellent article in that very excellent English
Cyclopædia, of the enterprising Charles Knight, on the
British Museum, it is stated that Uncle Tom’s Cabin has been
translated into Armenian, and “It may be worth while to mention
that advantage has been taken (at the British Museum) of the
polyglot popularity of Uncle Tom’s Cabin to afford students an
opportunity, not otherwise procurable, of studying the colloquial
and familiar idiom of different countries. 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.”
See also an article in _The Atlantic Monthly_ for Oct. 1867,
which says that the United States has permitted this lady to
be robbed by foreigners of 200,000 dollars by not agreeing to
international copyright.

Lockhart does not give a list of the works published by Sir
Walter Scott simply as “the Author of Waverley.”
Waverley was offered, anonymously, to Sir Richard Phillips
for publication. The price asked for it he refused. It then
appeared as _W. Scott’s_; but in a few days the name and placards
were withdrawn, and the author said to be _unknown_.--_Sir R.

A writer in the Athenæum, in 1861, says that this is a reprint
or a condensation, without acknowledgment, of the story which
appeared anonymously in the London Journal, under the title of
Masks and Faces (1855-6), and that it was commenced by J. F.
Smith (a writer of some very interesting tales in that journal,
but who wrote himself out); and, after a few chapters, was
finished by this lady.

Bee-Keeping. By ----, &c. 1864.
The result of some letters written by Dr. Cumming in the Times,
which caused a great deal of controversy at the time.
“‘Bee-Keeping’ is one of the most remarkable specimens of
book-making which we have met with for a long time. 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.”
