Referred to in _The Way of All Flesh_, when Theobald and Christina drive away together after their marriage. And cf. _Life and Habit_, ch. ii., where, after quoting from a journal an extract about Lycurgus, Butler proceeds: "Yet this truly comic paper does not probably know that it is comic, any more than the kleptomaniac knows that he steals, or than John Milton knew that he was a humorist when he wrote a hymn upon the Circumcision and spent his honeymoon in composing a treatise on Divorce."

This is part of Vol. I. of Malone's "Supplement to the Edition of Shakespeare's Plays published in 1778 by Samuel Johnson and George Steevens." I do not know where Butler got it; he wanted Malone's comments on the Sonnets and he may have bought this second-hand or it may have been given to him. It was probably in a bad state, for he had it bound; there is an entry to that effect in his account book, 30th March, 1899.

VI. ATLASES AND MAPS FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF SAMUEL BUTLER

Some of the maps are marked with red lines showing, in the words of another illustrious Johnian, "fields invested with purpureal gleams." These red lines, specially noticeable in Butler's ordnance maps of the neighbourhood within thirty miles round London, denote his country walks, and are referred to in his Introduction to _Alps and Sanctuaries_.

BUTLER, SAMUEL, D.D. An Atlas of Modern Geography for the use of Young Persons and Junior Classes in Schools. Selected from Dr. Butler's "Modern Atlas," by the Author's son, the Rev. T. Butler, Rector of Langar. London, 1870. _Also_ an edition inscribed, "Samuel Butler, October 20th, 1850"; and an edition of Dr. Butler's "Atlas of Antient Geography."

Environs of London, North side (eastern half missing).

Environs of London, South side--Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Maidstone.

There is something wrong; one piece is much dirtier than the other; the two do not belong to one another. The dirty one is inscribed, almost illegibly, thus: "S. Butler, 15, Clifford's Inn, Fleet Street, London, E.G. Please return to the above address. The finder, if poor, will be rewarded; if rich, thanked." May be he did lose one half, and it was not returned, and he bought another.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF OR RELATING TO SAMUEL BUTLER

Thomas Harris, of Shrewsbury.

Butler when a boy was amused by the advertisement put up over his shop by this man, who was a baker. He copied or invented the two pictures showing Harris (1) making bride cakes, (2) making funeral cakes, and composed the music. Miss Butler showed it to me at Shrewsbury in June or July, 1902, and I copied it.

MS. copies of "The New Scriptures," according to Darwin, Tyndall, Huxley and Spencer.

The first twenty-four verses of this appeared in an American paper (the _Index_, if I remember right) many years ago. They were given to me by Herbert Phipson; I showed them to Butler; he copied them and composed verses 25 to 33.

Testimonials by Eyre Crowe, A.R.A.; G. K. Fortescue; R. Garnett, LL.D.; A. C. Gow, A.R.A.; T. Heatherley; the Rev. B. H. Kennedy, D.D.; Henry Stacy Marks, R.A.; and W. T. Marriott, M.P., submitted by Butler in 1886 when a Candidate for the Slade Professorship of Fine Art at Cambridge.

Two numbers of the Parish Magazine of St. Augustine's, Kilburn, Mar. 1887 and April 1887.

Between pp. 80 and 81 of the March number are unsuitable advertisements of Pears' Soap involving the Bishop Q of Wangaloo and Lillie Langtry. Their appearance drew from the Editor, pp. 97 and 112 of the April number, an expression of regret, distress, and surprise, and a statement that precautions had been taken against any occurrence of a similar nature in future. If I remember right Miss Savage sent these to Butler and they are referred to in their correspondence, but perhaps not in any of the letters included in the _Memoir_.

Review of "Luck or Cunning?" written by George Bernard Shaw, which appeared in the _Pall Mall Gazette_, 31st May, 1887.

This was given to me by Dan Rider, who told me that Bernard Shaw's original review, which he wrote off his own bat, was very much more laudatory and much longer, but the Editor of the _Pall Mall Gazette_ cut it down in length and took out some of the praise because he was afraid of offending the Darwins and their friends.

A collection of Butler's Letters to the _Athenaeum_ and the _Academy_ and other contributions to the press. See the _Memoir_.

20 Marzo 1893. Nomination of Butler as Socio Corrispondente of the Accademia di Scienze, Lettere, ed Arti de'Zelanti di Aci-Reale.

4 Luglio 1893. Nomination of Butler as Socio Corrispondente of the Accademia Dafnica di Scienze, Lettere, ed Arti in Aci-Reale.

An envelope containing papers relating to Dr. Butler and to Butler's _Life_ of him, which appeared in 1896.

She occurs in the _Memoir_. She broke down, and a few hundred pounds were raised to help her.

A collection of obituary notices of Butler. 1902.

Two collections of notices of Butler's books, one made by Butler, the other by Streatfeild.

Photographs to illustrate his notions about the Holbein drawing, "La Danse," dealt with in the article in the _Universal Review_, "L'Affaire Holbein-Rippel." Together with various papers relating to the same matter. This article was not reproduced in _Essays on Life_, _Art and Science_ (afterwards _The Humour of Homer_) because of the trouble of reproducing the illustrations, but it is among the _Universal Review_ articles bound together and included in this catalogue (p. 19).

A print of the great statue of S. Carlo Borromeo, near Arona, called "S. Carlone."

A collection of photographs of Italian pictures, unmounted.

Three large cards with photographs of the fresco by Gaudenzio Ferrari which is in S. Maria delle Grazie at Varallo-Sesia. It is in twenty-one compartments.

Two cards, not so large, with photographs of pictures and frescoes by Gaudenzio. One of these reproduces frescoes and pictures in the Crucifixion Chapel at Varallo. In the left-hand bottom corner is the whole of the fresco in S. Maria delle Grazie showing how the twenty-one compartments are placed. The other card contains Gaudenzio's frescoes in the Church of S. Cristoforo at Vercelli.

A card with five photographs, two of the frescoes at Busto Arsizio near Varese--at least, I think that is where they are. One is "St. John Baptist's head in a charger," the other "The baptism in the Jordan." Butler particularly liked the scratchings of names and dates on the former. The other three photographs are of pictures. The foregoing six cards (three, two and one) used to hang framed in Butler's chambers.

A woman in a black dress from Lima. Used by Butler to make female heads for sale, but he was not successful.

X. PORTRAITS FORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF OR RELATING TO SAMUEL BUTLER

{Samuel Butler when an undergraduate about 1858: p53.jpg}

Butler's Photograph Album.

I have written the names against those portraits of whose identity I am certain. The cabinet photograph of Canon Butler resembles the father in "Family Prayers"; but Butler cannot have used this photograph, which was done when Canon Butler was an old man, for a picture painted in 1864.

(1) Soon after his return from New Zealand.

(2) 1866.

(3) Taken by Mrs. Bridges in the garden at Langar about 1866.

Butler kept the glass one on his mantelpiece until Pauli's death in 1897. Then he removed it. He would have removed it earlier, but Pauli came to his rooms to lunch three times a week, and would have noticed its absence. For Pauli see the _Memoir_.

Hans Rudolf Faesch as a boy.

Hans Rudolf Faesch, taken by Butler in 1893.

Cavaliere Biagio Ingroja of Calatafimi.
