Notes. Preface, pp. [v]–vi, dated ‘London, November,
1833’. This notes: ‘It seems as if, without a word or two of explanation,
the reader would be puzzled, and perhaps disappointed, when he
opened this volume, to find two stories instead of one, neither
of them bearing the title which has been given to both united.
[…] The truth is, that the author was requested to write two stories;
and one being illustrative of LOVE and
the other of PRIDE, it was considered better
to use the one generic title for both than the names of the two
stories separately’ (pp. [v]–vi). The work consists of: ‘The
Widow’, vols. 1 and 2 (up to p. 63) and ‘Snowdon’, vols.

in 1819 in Le Conservateur littéraire, a periodical founded
by Hugo and his brother in that year; in 1825, Hugo rewrote the
piece as a novella, before revising and enlarging it into its
final novel-form in 1826. Series-t.p. precedes t.p. proper, and
reads: ‘The Library of Romance. Edited by Leitch Ritchie. Vol.
VI. The Slave-King. London: Smith, Elder and Co., 65, Cornhill.
1833’. ‘Advertisement’, pp. [iii]–iv, notes: ‘We have now
arrived at the sixth volume of the Library of Romance,
which completes the first half-year; and we think the period a
favourable one for introducing an alteration in the arrangement
of the publication, which suggested itself to us some months ago,
but which then, we feared, might have had an appearance of timidity
and mistrust. […] There can be no harm in publishing a Magazine
every month; because, in the nature of things, the interest
of a magazine is ephemeral […]. The Library of Romance is very
differently situated. […] we have determined upon publishing the
Library of Romance, not as hitherto, on the first day of every
month, but on the first day every second month’ (pp. [iii]–iv).
According to Preface, pp. [vii]–viii, the ‘greater part of
the notes, and the historical sketch at the end’ are not by Victor
Hugo but by ‘a friend who has lately travelled in St. Domingo’
(p. viii). The work consists of: ‘The Slave-King’, pp. [1]–275,

from which scarely any French work is entirely exempt. A more
thorough insight into French manners and customs may be acquired
from one of De Kock’s novels, than from fifty volumes of travels
[…] As a novelist De Kock may not possess the humour of Fielding
or a Smollett, though the reader will meet many scenes not unworthy
of those authors; whilst he will be constantly reminded throughout
of the quiet humour and happy keeping of character for which Miss
Austen stands unrivalled!’ (p. iv). Printer’s marks and colophons

Notes. Preface, pp. [iii]–v, notes: ‘the Editor of
the “Encyclopædia of Romance” feels it his duty to furnish his
readers with the objects he has had in view in the present undertaking.
He has long entertained the idea of presenting the public with
a series of Tales and Romances, both original and translated,
at a price which might place them within the reach of the humblest,
as well as the highest classes of society. // Encouraged by the
flattering reception already accorded to another publication (“The
Ladies’ Cabinet”) emanating from the same source, he has spared
neither pains nor expense in overcoming the difficulties he has
had to encounter in the completion of his design.—The present
publication is the result of those efforts.—“The Encyclopædia
of Romance” will be continued in Monthly Numbers, containing 144
pages of letter-press. […] translations shall be confined exclusively
to such tales as have never appeared before in an English dress,
with abridgement of such of the larger and more expensive foreign
novels as we think may suit the taste of the English reader. He
will thus be put in possession of a collection of the best specimens
of works of fiction that every European language can supply, in
a form greatly cheaper than the cheapest, and quite as good as
any that have been published in a more expensive shape.’ Vol.
1 contains: ‘St. Sylvester’s Night’, pp. [3]–40; ‘The Abbey
of Maubuisson’, pp. 40–54; ‘Omar and Susana; or, the Apothecary
of Ispahan’, pp. 54–122; ‘The Adventures of a Gentleman of
Champaigne, at Paris, in the Year 1833’, pp. 123–137; ‘The
Tales of the Twelve Soobahs of Indostan’, pp. 138–253; ‘Generosa’,
pp. 253–284. Vol. 2 consists of ‘The Captive. A Tale of Modern
Times’, pp. [3]–219; ‘Pelagius’, pp. 220–264; ‘Boyucci’,
pp. 265–288. Vol. 3 comprises James Kirke Paulding’s ‘Westward
Ho!’. Westward Ho! was also published separately in 1833,
in 2 vols. (see 1833: 55[b] for further details). This item is
included because of its incorporation of a substantial amount
of contemporary fiction not published elsewhere in Britain and
Ireland. Printer’s marks and colophons of W. M‘Dowall, Pemberton

Notes. ‘Advertisement’ (2 pp. unn.) notes that ‘The
author of “Carwell,” when that tale was first published, was blamed
by some for having claimed attention to distresses too mean for
sympathy, and characters too degraded for compassion. […] this
reproach, combined with the assurance of friends and publishers,
that it required more aristocratic affliction to interest the
novel reading public, has induced her to attempt a story in the
style at present considered the most popular. […] Oonagh Lynch
is of a different and more romantic description. The preference
shown to either of these stories, will decide the caste of any
future fiction attempted by the same writer, should she again
appear before the public.’ ‘Aims and Ends’ runs to vol. 2 (p. 203),
followed by a verse piece titled ‘Oonagh Lynch’ (p. [205])
preceding the prose tale of the same title, which occupies vols.

Notes. Frontispiece illustrates a scene from the second
tale, ‘Ellen Eskdale’. List of contents, p. [iii], follows
t.p.. ‘An Apology for Fiction’, pp. [v]–xii, begins: ‘To
write a book which is intendent, and calculated, solely for the
readers of fiction and prefix to it an apology addressed to the
non-readers of fiction, appears somewhat paradoxical; yet as a
member of a religious society, whose sentiments are openly and
professedly at variance with works of this description, I would
not willingly oppose the peculiarities of many whom I regard with
gratitude, esteem, and admiration, without offering in my own
vindication some remarks upon the nature of fiction in general.
[…] when a writer keeps steadily in view the development of moral
truth, when his characters are all of our “mixed essence,” drawn
from the scenes of every-day life, animated with our feelings,
weak with our frailties, led into our difficulties, surrounded
by our temptations, and altogether involved in a succession of
the same causes and effects which influence our lives, his productions
may be called fiction, but they cannot be false. To me they appear
at least as lawful as those of the painter, and for this reason
I have ventured to call my stories, Pictures of Private Life’
(pp. [v]–vi). The vol. contains: ‘The Hall and the Cottage’,
pp. [1]–180; ‘Ellen Eskdale’, pp. [181]–224; ‘The Curate’s
Widow’, pp. [224]–285; ‘Marriage as It May Be’, pp. [287]–348.

many persons the publication of the Goldenthal in an English dress
may appear a work of supererogation, as it seems to occupy some
of the very same ground so diligently worked by Miss Martineau
in various passages of her “Illustrations of Political Economy.”
But that delightful authoress could not, consistently with her
plan, show, as Zschokke, the patriotic author of Goldenthal, has
attempted to do, the importance of the exertion of one virtuous
individual in reforming a depraved neighbourhood’ (p. [5]).
It also states: ‘The German reader will miss one excellent chapter
and several passages from Goldenthal, but they were omitted because
totally inapplicable to any district in Great Britain, while the
chapter on the forest-lands was retained because there are still
some English parishes which either have in reality, or claim from
custom, certain forest rights; and though the Goldenthal school-master’s
management may be inapplicable to our customs, it cannot be unintelligible’
(p. 7). List of contents, p. [xi]–xii, precedes main
text. Printer’s mark and colophon of Gilbert and Rivington, St.

pp. [iii]–iv, dated ‘Dublin, Sept. 1834’, and signed ‘Candida’.
A list of contents occupies pp. [v]–ix, and is followed
by a Preface, pp. [xi]–xii, which begins: ‘The following
lucubrations are the result of close and anxious observation
of the present times: and of a sincere desire, as far as in
the author lies, to strip the counterfeit of its tinsel, remove
the curtain that screens imperfection, and exhibit folly and
vice to public scorn and reproach, in their own scarring deformity’
(p. [xi]). An ‘Introduction’ follows, on pp. [xiii]–xvi,
and is succeeded by an address ‘to the British People’, pp. [xvii]–xviii,
which states: ‘The following sheets are the production of one
of your fellow-subjects, for the common benefit of all. That
it emanates from the Emerald Isle, it is hoped, will not diminish
its merits with you, for it advocates your rights and privileges,
as much as those of the all-suffering Irish themselves’ (p. [xvii]).
The vol. contains: ‘The Sojourner in Dublin’, pp. [1]–114;
‘The Modern Pharisees, of the City of Shim-Sham, in Ireland.
A Serio-Comic Drama, Enacted in our Own Times’, pp. [115]–148;

is a narrative device or indicative of the intention to produce
further vols. is unclear. A list of ‘Errata’ appears at the
bottom of p. 255. Colophon of Norman and Skeen, Maiden

Notes. Introduction, pp. [v]–xii, signed ‘W. T.
H.’. In this the author distances himself from the gothic device
of the mysterious manuscript: ‘Unfortunately for me, it is rather
passé to find mouldering MSS. in ponderous oaken chests.
Even a supernatural roll of parchment, solemnly presented by
a mysterious figure, clad in dazzlingly white raiment, would
scarcely be tolerated at present. […] As, thanks to the revolutionary
effects of the Waverley Novels and Political Economy, I am thus
prohibited from poaching on the domains of Leadenhall Street,
and, as moreover, I am by no means blessed with the organ of
Imaginativeness, I think that my best chance of getting successfully
through the difficult feat of an introductory chapter will spring
from my telling the truth; a piece of author-craft which will,
at least, have the charm of novelty to recommend it’ (pp. [v]–vi).
He then proceeds to present the work as having derived from
autobiographical papers left by one of his former school fellows.

Notes. Dedication, p. [v], to ‘Thomas Moore, Esq.’, signed
‘Samuel Lover’. ‘Notice’, pp. [vii]–viii, in which the
author disavows authorship of ‘A Book, entitled “Popular Stories
and Legends of the Peasantry of Ireland, with Illustrations,
by Samuel Lover,” […] lately […] published in Dublin’. This
adds: ‘Six illustrations for the volume were supplied by me,
and those who are answerable for the work should have let the
public distinctly understand that so far only was I concerned,
and not have imputed to me, by a questionable use of my name,
an authorship which I feel it necessary to disavow. // From
the duplicity of this title, many have been induced to imagine
that the work, to which it is prefixed, is my Second
Series of Legends and Stories; and this very name, too, has
been assumed, with a mere transposition, the book being entitled
“Stories and Legends”, although there is not a single legend
in its pages’ (p. viii). The work in question is probably
Popular Tales and Legends of the Irish Peasantry. With Illustrations
by S. Lover (see 1834: 17). An addendum to the same Notice
reads: ‘The very great popularity with which Barny O’Reirdon,
the Navigator, was favoured on its appearance in the Dublin
University Magazine, has induced me to add it, along with Little
Fairly, from the same quarter, to the following Collection of
Tales, which, with these exceptions, I place, for the first
time, before the Public, in hope of their continued indulgence’
(p. viii). In an ‘Address’ to the reader, pp. [ix]–x,
the author notes that his ‘first exercise’ has already been
promoted ‘to the rank of third edition’ (p. x).
List of contents (1 p. unn.) precedes main text. The tales
consist of: ‘Barny O’Reirdon, the Navigator’, pp. [1]–65;
‘The Burial of the Tithe’, pp. [67]–106; ‘The White Horse
of the Peppers. A Legend of the Boyne’, pp. [107]–186;

Puzzle’, pp. [259]–272; ‘Little Fairly’, pp. [273]–315;
‘Judy of Roundwood’, pp. [316]–324. Printer’s mark reads

of the Diomede is understood to be founded upon that
of Lord Dundonald, under whom Marryat served in the Imperieuse.
// The account of the hero’s escape is said to be partly derived
from a geniuine autobiographical work entitled a “Narrative
of a Captivity and Adventures in France and Flanders between
the years 1803–9,” by Captain Edward Boys, and partly also perhaps
from the narrative of the adventures of Lieutenant Henry Ashworth,
which appeared in the Naval Chronicle, vols. xxviii–xxxi.

Notes. Block, NSTC, and OCLC ascribe to Henry Mackenzie,
author of The Man of Feeling (1771), but BP notes: ‘By
James Morier, author of “Ayesha,” which was published this year.
Hence probably no clue to its authorship appears on the title-page.’
However, adv. in Star gives: ‘The Man of Honour and the
Reclaimed. By a Lady of Rank’. The work consists of: ‘The Man
of Honour’, vol. 1, pp. [1]–196, and ‘The Reclaimed’, vols.

Notes. Adv. facing t.p. of each vol. draws attention
to another work by the same author, ‘Wortley Montague; or, the
Confessed Wanderings of a Merry Philosopher’, as preparing for
publication. Preface, pp. [vii]–viii, signed ‘William Johnson
Neale’ and dated ‘34, Pall Mall, 1834’, notes: ‘This Work was
originally composed with a view to sustaining it as anonymous.
This design being now however abandoned […] it may be proper
to inform the reader, that he can obtain a more full account
of the various transactions alluded to in the singular paper
left to Charles Arran (whose real name was Charles Hamilton)
by his father. This account will be found in a volume written
by the latter gentleman, and entitled “Transactions during the
reign of Queen Anne” ’ (pp. [vii]–viii). ‘Statement
and Correspondence Relative to Captain Marryat’ occupies pp. 377–403
in vol. 3. This is signed ‘William Johnson Neale, Author of
Cavendish’ and is dated ‘November, 1834’. It consists of a correspondence,
in which Neale accuses Marryat of having exposed his name to
the public and of having severely attacked his work The Port
Admiral (1833: 52) in the Metropolitan Magazine.
In his report of the argument Neale notes that ‘being totally
unable by the use of any terms to bring him [Captain Marryat]
to the field, nothing remained for me but to place upon him
such a mark of public opprobrium, as should effectually exclude
him without the pale of gentlemanlike society. In resorting
to corporeal conflict with an individual of twice my own personal
weight and strength, and age, it could not be the gratification
of angry feeling which I sought, but simply the discharge of
a public duty […] This duty I performed then on the afternoon
of Wednesday the fifth instant, in open day-light, in Trafalgar
Square, Charing Cross. A correct statement of these circumstances
appears in the Sunday Herald’ (pp. 397–398). The following
pages (pp. 398–399) quotes extensively from the Sunday
Herald: ‘Captain Marryat […] began to untie his cloak which
Mr. Neale gave him full time to do, and, stepping into the road,
placed himself in a position for the attack, which he evidently
mediated […] Several blows now quickly passed between the combatants
[…] [when] two or three individuals rushed forward, but the
only one who interfered was Mr. Neale’s brother […] who to this
moment had contented himself with quietly looking on […] Mr.
Neale at the same time made a violent effort, and Captain Marryat
rolled over in the mud. Neale now sprang to his feet, as did
also the gallant Captain, who was again advancing to the attack
of his unarmed foe, who having lost his stick, caught up some
of the rubbish […] and directed it at the Captain’s face […]
“Both parties now called out for the police, but none arriving,
Mr. Neale […] walked very deliberately away, and wished the
gallant Captain ‘good morning’ ” ’. Printer’s marks and
colophons of G. Woodfall, Angel Court, Skinner Street.
