1p., 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged. Franked on the other side, with broken seal in red wax and postmark: 'London Feby: the 3 1795 | Miss Poole | Chichester | Egremont'. Unsigned, and in Hayley's untidy hand. Reads: 'Tuesday | 5 oclock | I have not been able to call on the Sheffield Travellers today but having caught a Frank from my noble Friend of Petworth I will dispatch my Servant without losing another post | adio'. Hayley later introduced his friend Miss Harriet Poole ('the Lady of Lavant') to William Blake, who would join him on visits to her villa in Lavant.…

Totalling 5pp., 4to, with Seward's poem on the first 3pp., and Hayley's on the following 2pp. Disbound from a notebook. In good condition, on lightly-aged and worn paper which has been cropped at the foot, resulting in the loss of two lines of text from Hayley's poem, and with the strip with the trimmed line from the foot of the first page of Seward's poem laid down at the head of the second page. The status of this item is unclear: there are indications (for example the subtitle 'Impromptu' of Hayley's piece) that it provides a text of Hayley's poem as circulated in manuscript before publication. The two poems are written in the same calligraphic hand (not, apparently, Hayley's), on two loose bifoliums of laid paper (both with the same fleur-de-lys watermark), placed one inside the other, so that the last three pages are blank. Seward's poem begins: 'Dim Sweeps the Show'r along the misty Vale, | And Grief's low accents murmur in the Gale. | O'er the damp vase Horatio Sighing leans, | And gazes absent on the faded Scenes;' The end of line eight - the phrase 'Roseat Ribbons join'd', has clearly been added later. Line sixteen ('Thro' the light magic of his playful dreams.'), having been trimmed from the foot of the first leaf, is on a strip of paper laid down at the head of the second page. Very like the version published in the Scots Magazine in February 1779, with occasional minor variations ('wont' in the manuscript version for 'us'd' in the printed version; 'light' for 'like'). Hayley's poem has 'W. H'.' at the end. Lines 18 and 19 (the second of the two indicated by the rhyme scheme) appear to have been trimmed away. Comparision with the version published as "To Miss Seward" (without the 'Impromptu' subtitle) in the Whitehall Evening Post of 16 June 1781 shows some variations. In the published version, line 15 is followed by: 'In that fair semblance, with such plaintive fire | She struck the chords of her pathetic lyre, | the weeping Goddess owns the best relief, | And fondly listens with subsiding grief:' In the manuscript, line 15 is followed by 'Proclaim'd herself the friend of Andre's youth: | [text trimmed away] | The weeping Goddess owns the blest relief, | [.]'.…

Having brought the letters home, Marsh expects to be 'fully satisfied by your proofs of the position concerning the Cyprianic letters'. He hopes the recipient will renew his 'suspended (I will not say forgotten) habit of attending the meetings of the society'.…

1 p, 4to. Bifolium. Sixteen lines, neatly written. Text clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'W. Hayley Esqre.' He begins by thanking him for 'the kind memorial' (a volume of music?); the gift expresses Hayley's 'sense of common civility' and acquaints Boaden 'with a composer of great merit'. 'I tried the effect of his divine art yesterday, Sunday, and could not but wish to hear it from the organ at Chichester'. The rest of the letter concerns 'the subject of Randolph, and the copy of his works honour'd by the hand-writing of Pope'. Boaden has 'compared the signature with various specimens at Mr. Malone's', and Hayley 'may confidently rely upon the fact'. Randolph 'bore the same christian name as his father, a circumstance, which Dr. Johnson, I think, has left sub sil[entio]:' The volume 'may add something to the expected commentary upon Milton'.…

1p., 12mo. Bifolium. Aged and worn. Addressed on second leaf to 'Wm. Hayley Esqr | Eartham, which also carries calculations, presumably in Hayley's hand. Guy gives a breakdown of '[t]he whole sum subscribed for Collins's Monument', £94 13s 8d, giving the amount spent 'for advertising &c.', 'conveying it to Chichester' and 'Mr West's Bill'. 'When these sums have been paid the balance in Mr. Flaxman's hands will only be 83£ - Now as I trust you was not made aware of the true statement, I have omitted to fulfil your wish till I have the pleasure of hearing again'.There are several references in Hayley's 1823 'Memoirs' to 'his kind medical friend, William Guy of Chichester', as well as to the memorial to Cowper. Guy attended Hayley in his final illness. …

First Edition. London: Richard C. Jackson, 1917. 4to, (2, half-title), frontispiece (Blake portrait), (16). Very good with slight wear to board covers and corners. The dedicatee's copy, signed Mackenzie Bell 29th July 1920. § A facsimile produced for the "William Blake Society of Arts and Letters" in a limited edition of 100 copies (plus 10 proofs), by Richard C. Jackson, to commemorate the 160th anniversary of Blake's birth. The facsimile claims to be the first edition of "Little Tom" in moveable type, and reproduces Blake's two main designs in different colours - Little Tom on the boat in blue, and with his mother in a rather pallid yellow. The title is in red and black. The book is printed on "Queen of Scots" hand-made paper, and sewn into quarter cream buckram bound gray paper covered boards, with a decorated and printed label in buckram mounted to the cover. Jackson was the founder of the Blake Society of Arts and Letters in 1901, and still President in 1917. The edition has a dedication page to Mackenzie Bell (a poet and past Vice-President of the Society) and this was apparently his own copy, being signed by him on the front end paper. Bentley, BB, 470 E . Bentley refers to Jackson as being "mendacious", but gives no reason. Jackson does however defame and possibly libel Gilchrist in the colophon at the end of this facsimile so this is perhaps symptomatic. However the facsimile is certainly an impressive and attractive one. Signed. …

(BLAKE, William) HAYLEY, William. Ballads, founded on Anecdotes Relating to Animals, with Prints, Designed and Engraved by William Blake. London: Richard Phillips, 1805. Octavo, early 20th-century full blue morocco, raised bands, elaborately gilt-decorated spine, top edge gilt, uncut. $6000.Expanded second editionÑthe only obtainable editionÑof this poetry collection, with five engravings by William Blake, handsomely bound by Bedford."These Ballads were originally intended to have been issued separately in fifteen quarto parts with numerous illustrations by Blake, and for the benefit of the artist. Four parts were issued in 1802, but the series did not meet with success and was discontinued. Later it was arranged to issue them in the present, again for Blake's benefit" (Keynes). This 1805 edition is an expanded version, with additional poems, of the extremely rare 1802 first edition (which last appeared at auction 70 years ago).

First Edition. Chichester: W. Mason, 1809. Large 4to, (8), 416, (7) pp. With portrait frontispiece and 11 engraved plates, including one by Blake after Romney. Large paper copy in red half calf over marbled paper boards, with gilt rules and titling. A very good copy with clean pages and prints throughout, just traces of ageing on the first few pages. § First edition, large-paper copy. Although not substantially bigger than uncut copies of the regular issue, the large-paper copies are on heavier paper and the impressions are stronger. The 1-page advertisement at the end for "Epistles to Romney" is not found in the small-paper copies. Blake's plate of the shipwreck incorporates a number of familiar figures from his iconography and is a strong and vivid illustration. Bentley, BB 469, Essick, CBI, XLIX: large-paper issue has an "1807" watermark without a maker's name; the small paper is watermarked "Rye Mill / 1807.".…
