SINCE my former notes were printed, I have been successful, through the kindness of friends, in obtaining collations of some of the rarer editions of itzGerald’s books, of which I was only able to give a brief mention previously. Each of these little works possesses its special points of interest. 1862.

Issued in a green cloth limp binding, with a abel containing the title, °‘ Rubaiyat I of I Omar Khayyam,” within an ornamental border, pasted on the top cover. Of the contents of this very scarce brochure, the ‘Rubaiyat’ are a literal reprint of the first London edition ; the note by the learned Orientalist, M. Garcin de Tass, is re rinted from the Journal Asiatique ; the articrle from the Calcutta Review was written by Prof. E. B. Cowell; and the additional quatrains, fifteen in number, and dated “Adiian Dec. 20, 1862,” are by Dr. Whitley Sto es, who is understood to rave been the editor of the volume. The copg' which I have had the advantage of using as also six additional quatrains, together with a note by Dr. Stokes, pasted into appropriate places in the text, together with a few interesting addi- tions in manuscript and print. 1871.

H46, blank and unnumbered]. Issued in dark green imp cloth binding, with gold line border, and red leather back ; no lettering ; edges cut and coloured red. This volume seems to have been rivately printed in a very limited issue. The text varies greatly both from that of the first edition of 1856 and that of the third of 1879. The introductory part is, indeed, entirely different. In the ‘Chronological List’ of FitzGerald’s books which were exhibited by the Caxton Club of Chicago, in January, 1899, a copy is described in the following terms:- “This copy has the title-page and text of the second separate edition, bound up with the ‘ Life of Jami’ (with many corrections in FitzGerald’s handwritin ) of the first, and was the editorial copy used Iiy Mr. Quaritch for his collected edi- tion.” I have no doubt that the copy in uestion was “made up” by FitzGerald by the addi- tion of the introductory matter of the first edition, but it can hardl have been used editorially by Mr. Quaritch for his collected edition, as on a comparison of the copy
