ROBERTS. sales of Turnbull at his house from 1853 to 1861: 1853, July 15(autographs); 1856,Sep.9; 1857,June8; 1859, Nov. 28; I860, July 6; and 1861, Nov. 18, all books; the dates are of the first day of sale only. Tait * Nisbet held in 1851 a sale of a collection of Turnbull's books, but I have never seen the catalogue. t This sale is probably unique in that it was catalogued and announced by one firm of auctioneers and sold on their premises, but by a rival firm. Catalogues with two title-pages may be found: (1) with R. II., T. & C. Evans as auctioneers, and (2) with the names of Messrs. Leigh Sotheby & Wilkinson. The fact is that between the first publication of the catalogue and the sale Messrs. Evans found themselves in financial difficulties, and Messrs. Sotheby & Wilkinson were called in to conduct the sale, and of course to bear the financial responsibility of the transaction. A notice of the collection appeared in the Gentleman's Magazine, May, 1846, signed A. B., the writer of which was Dawson Turner; the sale itself is reported at length in the same magazine, Nov., 1846, p. 491. J This collection comprised a fine series of the sign manuals of the kings and queens of England from the reign of Edward III. to the present time ; letters and documents of the most illustrious persons of Great Britain, statesmen and political characters, military and naya] men; letters of the SHAKESPEARE'S BOOKS.

' Macbeth,' IL i. " It is a wonderfull thing to imagine how so great preparations, and the sudden approach of the Infidels could be so concealed, that even the very stonta and rivers (as a man may say) did not reveale it." A commentator thinks that Shakespeare in this passage probably alludes to Luke xix. 40, where the same thought occurs, but in the verse in Luke it is the stones, 01 At'doi, that cry out, not the very stones, as in Shakespeare and this old author. Carlisle. Many a time hath banish'd Norfolk fought For Jem Christ in glorious Christian field, Streaming the ensign of the Christian cross Against black pagans, Turks and Saracens. ' Richard II.,'IV. i. " A prince couragious and invincible, who in our age had great affaires, and kept continual! warres against the infidels for the name of JeiritM Chrixt, and did spend almost all his life in urines, fighting for the maintenance of the Catholic faith; and many a time did he vanquish and discomfit* in open field and plaine batten, even with verie small forces, many and exceeding great armies of the Turken, at the sight and presence of whom, the troupes of the Barbarians did scarse dare to present themselves." The prince, in the name of Jesu* Christ, kept continual wars against the infidels, fight- ing for the maintenance of the Catholic faith, and many a time in open JUld did vanquish the Turks ; and the banished Norfolk also many a time fought for Jesus Christ in Christian field against black pagans, Turks, and Saracens.
