pieces and leaflets bequeathed by Horace Walpole to the Honble. Mrs. Anne Seymour Damer at his death in 1797. It will be remembered that Lord Orford appointed Mrs. Damer his executrix, leaving to her Strawberry Hill and its contents. Subsequently, through a relative of Mrs. Damer's, this collection passed into the hands of the present owner. The books were all in fine condition, having been most carefully preserved, and, with one exception, in the original state, several being unbound-folded or in sheets. Particular attention may also be called to the detached pieces and leaflets, which, owing to their nature, are now of extreme rarity. It may be added that the works are, unless otherwise stated, all recorded either in Baker's Catalogue of 1810, in Lowndes, or elsewhere, as having been actually printed at the Strawberry Hill Press. The total amount realised by the sale of this portion of the collection was £700.]

4476 Gray (T.) Odes by Mr. Gray, 21 pp., 4to., original grey wrapper, uncut, Printed at Strawberry-Hill, for R. & J. Dodsley, in Pall-Mall, 1757 (121) Sabin, £171

[Horace Walpole's own copy, with his small book-plate on the half-title. Of this, the first work issued from the Strawberry Hill Press, one thousand copies were printed. The above copy is, however, of special interest, in that it contains, on fifteen pages, notes or criticisms in Walpole's handwriting. Among these may be mentioned the note referring to the expression "plung'd" used in the last line of the second ode, as follows:-"In the original this word was 'sunk,' but Mr. Garrick suggested 'plung'd' as a more emphatic word on such an occasion." It may also be remarked that Walpole has added to the vignette on the title-which appears in several of the books and which has been by some authorities described as a book-plate-the name of the designer and engraver. At the end of the odes are to be found two leaves from the Critical Review, No. 19, August, 1757; Literary Magazine, five leaves; and The British Chronicle, August 24-26, 1757, two leaves containing criticisms on these poems, and also the rare leaflet, "To Mr. Gray, on his Odes," on which Walpole had written the words, "By David Garrick, printed at Strawberryhill." It is said that only six copies of this leaflet were printed. -Catalogue.]
