BYRON’S LIBRARY: THE THREE BOOK SALE CATALOGUES Edited and introduced by Peter Cochran The 1813 Catalogue Throughout much of 1813, Byron was planning to go east again, not with Hobhouse this time, but with the Marquis of Sligo, who, just out of jail for abducting sailors during a period of war, was anxious to be away from the public gaze. They never went: the difficulty of finding adequate transport for themselves and their retinues, plus a report of plague in the Levant, prevented them. Sligo would have had difficulty in any case getting passage on an English ship of war. However, just how close they got to leaving is shown by the first of the three catalogues below. While still adding lines to The Giaour, Byron was within an ace of selling his library. Its catalogue is headed:

A / CATALOGUE OF BOOKS, / THE PROPERTY OF A NOBLEMAN [in ink in margin: Lord Byron / J.M.] / ABOUT TO LEAVE ENGLAND / ON A TOUR OF THE MOREA. / TO WHICH ARE ADDED / A SILVER SEPULCHRAL URN, / CONTAINING / RELICS BROUGHT FROM ATHENS IN 1811, / AND / A SILVER CUP, / THE PROPERTY OF THE SAME NOBLE PERSON; / WHICH WILL BE / SOLD BY AUCTION / BY R. H. EVANS / AT HIS HOUSE, No. 26, PALL-MALL, / On Thursday July 8th, and following Day. Catalogues may be had, and the Books viewed at the / Place of Sale. / Printed by W.Bulmer and Co. Cleveland-row, St. James’s. / 1813.

It’s not usual to sell your entire library before going abroad unless you intend never to return. Byron never refers to the planned auction in his surviving letters. On July 8th 1813 itself, when the first day of the sale fails to occur, he writes to Moore, “I am still in equipment for voyaging, and anxious to hear from, or of, you before I go (BLJ III 73). This is at approximately the time of the publication of the second edition of The Giaour. On August 31st 1813 Sligo writes his last letter to Byron, obliging him with his account of the incident of the Greek girl in the sack, which Byron needs to counter Caroline Lamb’s rumours of his unnatural activities in Greece, spread by her by way of an alternative reading of The Giaour. The friendship between Byron and Sligo (who knows the rumours to be true but provides the story anyhow), seems to cease at this point. Byron’s Jane Austen The most sensational item in the 1813 catalogue is 1813, 154, showing Byron to have possessed first editions of Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility. They are thrown in with a History of Pugilism, Despotism, or [the] Fall of the Jesuits (by Isaac Disraeli, published by Murray), and a “volume of plays”, and do not recur in the 1816 catalogue. Perhaps Byron gave them to Annabella. There are no references to Jane Austen anywhere in his work. The 1816 Catalogue In 1816, Byron really did go abroad, and, indeed, never came back. He really did sell his library, too, having made the decision as the bailiffs moved in, in November 1815. The auction was held at the house of the leading auctioneer R.H.Evans at 26, Pall Mall (where the 1813 auction would have been), and is said to have been on April 5th and 6th. That Evans did both catalogues is found in the frequently identical multiple lots. The sale fetched a total of

2

£723.12s.6d: £273.12s.6d more than the books had been valued at the previous year. The catalogue has on the cover

It is headed on its third page:

CATALOGUE / OF A COLLECTION OF BOOKS, / LATE THE PROPERTY OF A NOBLEMAN. / FIRST DAY’S SALE. / The Sale will commence each Day PUNCTUALLY AT / HALF PAST TWELVE.

Hobhouse recorded in his diary on April 8th (sic):

This day I went to the sale of Lord Byron’s books and bought £34’s worth – amongst them a Lucian [for] £5 5s 0d,1 and his Romaic Dictionary of Demetrius Paulus2 for £6 16s 6d. The books had been in execution four times. Murray gave £450 for them.3 The library sold for £730, and had Byron’s name been in, each book would have sold for twice as much. Some presentation copies sold very high – Knight on taste, with inscription to poetorum facile principe,4 for four guineas, bought in by Murray, and Erskine on the war5 with a note of Erskine’s and Byron for as much. Rogers’ poems6 – more than three guineas, and others. “It was a lively sale”, said Murray. My Miscellany7 went in lot for twelve shillings.8

The truth of his comment on the greater value placed on a book signed by Byron (of which there were very few), is confirmed by the catalogues. Byron should have signed more of his books. The 1827 Catalogue: Byron’s books On January 29th 1825, with Byron dead, Hobhouse recorded:

Rode to London. Went to Hanson’s and with him to London docks to look over some goods of Byron’s, came from Genoa – found nine snuff boxes and a watch which I intend to apply for to have duty free – also five boxes of books – his library – poor fellow.

1: 1816, 221: purchased by Murray. 2: 1816, 337: purchased by Murray. 3: Murray had in fact paid Byron £500 for his books; but the bailiffs got them, and Byron returned the £500. 4: 1816, 215: purchased by Murray. 5: 1816, 326: purchased by Murray. 6: 1816, 271 and 272: both purchased by Murray. 7: Imitations and Translations (1809). 1816, 136. Purchased by Lowe. 8: BL.Add.Mss. 47232.

The books had been sent by Charles Barry, Byron’s banker in Genoa, custodian also of the poet’s three pet geese, whose lives he had saved at Michaelmas 1822. It was not until July 6th 1827 that the same R.H.Evans, now at 93 Pall Mall, held another auction to sell off what was left after Byron’s friends had picked the contents of the five boxes through. The sale fetched £159.9s.6d. The two-year-plus gap between the books’ receipt and sale is mysterious. The catalogue for the 1827 sale has on its front:

CATALOGUE / OF THE / LIBRARY / OF / THE LATE LORD BYRON, / [inked: nos. 1-233] / TO WHICH IS ADDED / THE LIBRARY OF A GENTLEMAN, / DECEASED. / WHICH WILL BE / SOLD BY AUCTION, / BY MR.EVANS, / AT HIS HOUSE, No. 93, PALL MALL, / On Friday, July 6, and Two following days, (Sunday excepted.) / 1827. … and the first page of contents is headed: CATALOGUE / OF / THE LIBRARY / OF THE LATE / LORD BYRON; / TO WHICH IS ADDED / ANOTHER VALUABLE COLLECTION. / FIRST DAY’S SALE. / [Number 1 to 233 inclusive are the Property of Lord Byron.] / Octavo et Infra. / [The Sale will commence at HALF PAST TWELVE.]

Hobhouse does not mention the 1827 sale in his diary. Here is the entire entry for July 6th 1827:

Friday July 6th: Remained at Whitton, walking with Sophy and riding with Tom. Fine hot weather.

He would thus deny having been in London when the sale occurred. And yet the Lewis catalogue records him as buying five sets for £7 7s 6d on that date.9 Perhaps, being a busy man of affairs, he couldn’t be bothered to go in person, and sent someone to do the bidding for him: the catalogue says, “Gentlemen who cannot attend the Sales, may have their Commissions faithfully executed, by their humble Servant / R. H. EVANS”. However, as we see, Hobhouse wasn’t busy that day. He stayed at home and relaxed. If he did bid by proxy, was it a gesture to cover up some pilfering he’d already done? See next section for more suspicions. In The Late Lord Byron, Doris Langley Moore prints the following note about the 1827 sale, from the John Murray Archive. I have not seen the original, but either it, or her transcription, is full of errors, which I have indicated:

These are the only books which brought higher prices than if the leaves had not been turned by the mighty poet’s fingers. The Presentation Copy of Sir Walter Scott’s Kalidia Hill [sic: for Halidon Hill: 1827, 180] with inscription of the fly leaf “Right Hon. Lord Byron, from his sincere and affectionate friend the Author” sold for £2 7. Biblia Sacra Armenia [sic: for Armena: 1827, 198] with his Lordship’s autograph thus “Byron Venice, Dec. 3rd 1816” on the fly leaf and the title page brought £3 8 A copy of Bysshe Shelley’s Prometheus, unbound, £1 7 [in fact 7s and £1 17s: 1827, 177 and 178] after a struggle. The Greek Tragic Theatre and English Translation in 7 Vols. by different authors. Lord Byron has occasionally pencilled some of the most striking passages in these volumes which sold for £6 0. 0.

Elzevir 1672 bought by Mr Hobhouse for 3gs [1827, 183].10

Comparison of the two sales with those which Evans held, before them and after, in each year, is interesting. On March 15th 1816 the sale was of 1,175 items, and raised £1,390 8s. The next one, on April 9th, was of 393 items, and raised £687 18s 6d. This compares with Byron’s 374 items on April 5th-8th(??), fetching £723 12s 6d. The 549 items in the previous 1827 sale, held on June 21st, fetched £659 2s 6d, while the 570 items in the second part of the 1827 sale (“THE LIBRARY OF A GENTLEMAN, DECEASED”) fetched £675 14s. These contrast with Byron’s 233 items on July 6th, which only fetched £159 9s 6d. The size of Byron’s library in 1816 looks fairly normal, whereas the 1827 “library” seems skeletal. Here is a breakdown of each of the two catalogue-collections: Date, 1816 Owner Items Bought at Jan 10-11 Edward Astle Esq 265 £2,366 10s Jan 30-Feb 4 W.Hunter and Dr Vincent Dean of Westminster 1,171 £724 16s 6d Feb 13-14 “A Valuable Library” 383 * not priced Feb 23-8 William Hunter Esq 1,134 £1,421 15s 0d Mar 15-20 Dr Vincent 1,176 £1,390 8s Apr 5-6 BYRON’S LIBRARY 383 £723 12s 6d Apr 9-10 “A Valuable Library” 393 £687 18s 6d May 3-5 “A Valuable Library” 626 not totalled * The number of items is identical to that in Byron’s library but the titles are different.

Comparisons, and the missing books There are 272 books, sets or lots (and two artefacts) in the 1813 catalogue, 374 (and nine artefacts) in the 1816 catalogue, and 233 (with no artefacts) in the 1827 catalogue. The relationship of the catalogues to the actual content of Byron’s library is something we have to take on trust, as is their relationship, in turn, with what he actually read. It’s possible, for example, to make some deductions about books he didn’t sell: a first edition (1786) of Beckford’s Vathek (one of his favourite books), appears in 1813 (1813, 71), but 1816 the one for sale is an 1815 edition (1816, 312), with the notes by Samuel Henley abbreviated. We may guess that Byron, finding the new Vathek unsatisfactory, sold it, and kept the first edition for his bedtime reading. There are no English language Bibles anywhere in the catalogues (there’s a Greek New Testament at 1816, 246): Byron claimed to read a chapter of the Bible a day, and may be presumed never to have sold one. His Bible had been given to him by Augusta. If we assume that anything in the 1816 catalogue but not in the 1813 catalogue has been bought by Byron during the intervening years, we can deduce that Byron made a thorough study of Italian and its literature during those years. He bought two complete copies of Ariosto’s Orlando Furioso between 1813 and 1816 (1816, 28 and 29), three copies of Tasso’s Gerusalemme Liberata (1816, 310, 311: one an 1813 set), plus at least two copies of Dante’s Divine Comedy (1816, 93, 310, 311), and assisted himself by learning Italian systematically (see 1816, 19 and 53). He also bought Black’s Life of Tasso (1816, 147), a thirteen-volume Machiavelli (1816, 239), and Goldoni’s Memoirs (1816, 240). To get it all in perspective he bought an 1813 edition of Sismondi, de la Littérature du Midi (1816, 292). There is one Petrarch in the 1813 catalogue (1813, 194), and two different ones in the 1816 (1816, 311 and 336). The earliest specific references to Ariosto and Tasso in Byron’s work are the Genevra sonnets, and parts of The Corsair,11 both written in the second half of 1813, after the aborted sale. Two more important post-1813 acquisitions are Rousseau’s Confessions (1816, 273) and a complete Rabelais (1816, 277). Byron sells his complete Shakespeare before going abroad (1816, 282), and appears not to buy another, though this is hard to believe, and fuels further suspicion of pre-sale pilfering in 1827. The most recent book to be sold in 1816 is Francis Hare Naylor’s History of Germany (1816, 243) published that year. The oldest book in any of the “authentic” catalogues is a complete Horace in folio: “Horatii Opera, cum Quatuor Commentariis”, printed in Venice in 1509 (1827, 232). The fact that it is described by way of caution with the words, “stained, cuts” may indicate how well-used it is. It goes for a measly eight shillings (40p!!). Again, Byron should have signed it. The second oldest is by the second century grammarian Aulus Gellius (1827, 9); it is printed in 1515 by the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius. It too goes for eight shillings. The highest price paid in either sale is the massive £35 14s put down for Cobbett’s Parliamentary Debates, from the commencement in 1803 to 1815, in 31 volumes, which is bought by “Giles” (1816, 57). The second highest is £30, paid by “Fletcher” (of 12 Hereford Street), for the Large Plates to Boydell’s Shakspeare, engraved by the first Artists, VERY BEAUTIFUL PROOF IMPRESSIONS, bound in red morocco (1816, 374). The lowest price paid in 1816 is 6d, for the Maps to Cellarius’s Geography (1816, 187).

11: The Corsair, epigraph (for Tasso) and line 439 (for Ariosto).

The highest price paid in the 1827 sale is £6 7s 6d, given by “Borne” for Coxe’s 1818 Life of the Duke of Marlborough (1827, 209). The lowest is 6d, paid for Ricci’s l’Italiade and Keate’s Account of the Pellew Islands (1827, 108, and 165). The four Southey works in the Sales Catalogues are Kirke White’s Remains (1813, 261; 1816, 324), Madoc (1813, 220; 1816 284), Roderick, (1816, 342), and the Life of Wesley (1827, 170). There is no Joan of Arc, Thalaba, Kehama, Waterloo, or Vision of Judgement. A similar oddity is seen in relation to Scott’s poems. The Lay of the Last Minstrel appears in both the 1813 and the 1816 catalogues (1813, 230 and 1816, 268); while Marmion, the earlier poem, appears only in the later 1816 catalogue (1816, 340). There are very few works by Byron himself in the catalogues. The 1813 catalogue has one copy of Childe Harold I and II (1813, 36), but none of the juvenile books, or of English Bards. The 1816 catalogue also contains (as the 1813 one could not have), fifteen copies of Thurston’s Illustrations to The Corsair (1816, 174-8 and 363-8), though none of The Corsair itself; some Plates to illustrate Lord Byron’s Poems (1816, 332); one copy of Lara (1816, 224); five copies of Hebrew Melodies; (1816, 30-3 including one in Nathan’s musical version: 1816, 195); but no copies of The Giaour, The Bride of Abydos, The Siege of Corinth, or Parisina. The 1827 catalogue has one Werner (1827, 25), the Letter to Bowles on Pope (1827, 26), and a French Œuvres Complètes (1827, 27), but nothing else: again, pre-sale pilfering by Byron’s friends may be suspected. Evidence of “creaming-off” is to be found in the New Monthly Magazine for 1827 (XIX, pp. 26-32), where Hobhouse writes that Byron read Montaigne in his (now Hobhouse’s) copy of the 1685 translation by Charles Cotton. There is no Montaigne in the 1827 sale catalogue (though see 345 and 565). On March 31st 1817 Byron writes to Hobhouse, “I have bought several books which must be left for my bankers to forward to Engand – amongst others a complete Voltaire in 92 volumes …” (BLJ V 199). Ninety-two volumes would fill more than one box: but there is no complete Voltaire in the 1827 sale Catalogue. The books in the 1827 catalogue must have been either bought on the continent, or sent out by Murray and others. Murray bought nothing in the 1827 sale. The most striking absence in 1827 is that of the Waverley Novels, which we know Byron adored. The sole exception is Guy Mannering (1816, 120). Of Shelley’s poetry, we find just two copies of Prometheus Unbound. There are numerous other books absent from 1827 which we know Byron to have possessed. They include: Berni, Opere or similar title Boiardo, Opere or similar title Bowring, Specimens of the Russian Poets (BLJ XI 84-5) Byron, Admiral, Narrative of the Honourable John Byron (Hobhouse diary, Aug 3 1817) Cantemir, The History of the Growth and Decline of the Othman Empire (Don Juan V 147, 7, and VI, 31, 5) Casti, Gli Animale Parlante Casti, Novelle Galanti (BLJ V 80) Casti, Il Poema Tartaro Dalyell, Shipwrecks and Disasters at Sea (Hobhouse diary, Aug 4 1817) De Tott, Memoirs (Don Juan VI, 31, 5) Hope, Anastasius (BLJ VII 138, 182) Laurence (tr. and ed.), The Book of Enoch The Prophet: An Apocryphal Production (CPW VI 682) Lee, The Canterbury Tales (CPW VI 692) Masson, Secret Memoirs of the Court of St. Petersburg Muratori, Cronica di Sanuto (CPW IV 531) Pickersgill, The Three Brothers (CPW VI 728) Sismondi, Histoire des Républiques Italiennes du Moyen Âge (CPW VI 628) Tully, A Narrative of Ten Years’ Residence at Tripoli in Africa (Hobhouse diary, Sep 13 1816)

7

Taylor (tr. and ed.), The Description of Greece by Pausanias (BLJ V 74, 80; Byron’s Bulldog, 228) Ude, The French Cook (CPW IV 764) Here is yet more evidence that the 233 items in the 1827 Sale Catalogue do not represent the entire contents of the “five boxes” that Hobhouse and Hanson opened. Evidence of the interest in Italian literature which we sense in comparing the 1813 and 1816 catalogues is missing when we go through 1827: there is no Dante (apart from the single published volume of Taaffe’s Commentary: 1827, 207), no Ariosto, only the second volume of Fairfax’s Tasso (1827, 185), no Casti, whom we know Byron discovered in 1816 (apart from Rose’s translation of Gli Animali Parlante), and no Petrarch. However, there is a Pulci (1827, 220). It is hard to believe that Byron would have worked in Italy without such authors to hand. But see next section. The question is, to whom would the five boxes of books sent by Barry to Hanson and Hobhouse (as Byron’s executors), have belonged in law? The 1827 Catalogue of a mysterious “Gentleman Deceased” There are some strange features about the library of “A GENTLEMAN DECEASED” which was sold at the same time as Byron’s in 1827 (and is reproduced as the last section of this edition, in green). Firstly, only twenty of its 571 items post-date 1824, the year of Byron’s death. One of them is an 1825 seven-volume set of his Works (280), another an 1826 complete Shakespeare (370), and another an 1826 Divine Comedy (315). Of the seventeen others, fourteen come in two blocks (381-90 and 677-80), irrespective of alphabetical order. The other three are the first item in 308, then 362 and 502. I include 1824 in the years Byron was alive, though he was only alive for four months of that year, and could have purchased few books at Missolonghi. Many others are identical to titles Byron sold in 1816, although with different dates, as would be natural. The first is Mitford’s History of Greece (1827, 235) which bizarrely duplicates 1816, 235. The last is Bayle’s Historical Dictionary (782, duplicating 1816, 190). Some actual editions are identical with those in Byron’s 1816 sale: there is a 1793 Montesquieu (692); an 1806 Milton’s Prose Works (667); an 1808 Lempriere’s Universal Biography (521); an 1806 Porson’s Aeschylus (400); an 1808, 18-volume Scott Dryden (263), and an 1814, 19-volume Scott Swift (264). Books in the “anonymous” section referred to in Don Juan, are Dr Currie’s Life of Burns (268: see Don Juan III, 92, 4); the letters of Ninon de L’Enclos (354: see Don Juan V, 98, 9); and Knolles’ History of the Turks (794: see Don Juan V, 147, 7). Many Greek and Latin classics in the “anonymous” section are marked “Delphini”, that is, bowdlerised for the use of minors. Only two such are found in the authentic Byron sections, both, bizarrely, by Cicero, a writer not normally thought of as rude. Books in the “anonymous” section which we would expect Byron to possess include Southey’s Joan of Arc (694) and The Poet’s Pilgrimage to Waterloo (622), Le Sage’s Diable Boiteux (557), La Rochefoucauld’s Maxims (367); Hudibras (294); the Rejected Addresses (274); and Otway’s Works (265). Three of the Italian authors whom we know Byron studied, but who are missing from the official “Byron’s Library” part of the catalogue, turn up in the library of “A GENTLEMAN DECEASED”: Tasso (635), Petrarch (353 and 596), and Boccaccio (297). Lastly, the large number of religious books in the “anonymous” section might give us pause until we find among them a 1728 Tillotson’s Works (765), a 1751 Barrow’s Sermons

8

(418), an 1808 Blair’s Sermons (421), and a 1727 South’s Sermons (606): and remember Don Juan, II, 165, 5-6. There are several unByronic mathematical works, but no Waverley Novels, and no 92-volume Voltaire. Some of the “anonymous” books may be Byron’s, others not. I have made notes on both sides of the issue. An important name missing from all the catalogues is that of Alfieri. Editorial In transcribing the catalogues I have tried to correct and systematize spelling and accents, and expended such contractions as “Ld” for “Lord”. Among other things the printers had difficulties with “Shelley”, confused “Barre” with “Barré” and “Barry”, and were not certain how to form the possessive of “Burns”. In transcribing the sums paid I have added “£.s.d.” for clarity. Glossary: BOOK SIZES: Folio: large book, 20 x 12 ½ ins Quarto: medium-sized book, 12 ½ x 10 ins Octavo: normal-sized book, 10 x 6 ¼ ins “Et Infra” anything smaller than octavo PAPER TYPES: russia: a very durable leather binding morocco: another leather, made from goat- or lambskin large paper: used for special editions, with wider margins fine paper: high quality paper elephant paper: very large and absorbent paper india paper: very soft paper PRINTERS: Aldus: the Venetian printer Aldus Manutius Elzev: a famous family of Dutch printers in the 17th and early 18th centuries PROVENANCES: some of these, such as Edin. or Amst., are self-explanatory. Others derive from the Latin names of the cities. My thanks here to William Hale and the staff of the Cambridge University Library. ap Cominum: Padua Argent: Strasbourg Aug.
