INSCRIPTIONS IN BOOKS
John Collet of Little Gidding--A book that was in the Battle of
Corunna--Henry Howard--Sir Percivall Hart--John Crane and the
Battle of Naseby.
In a work treating of bookplates some space devoted to the subject of
inscriptions in books can hardly be out of place. In the view of the
real book-lover--and no others are asked to look at this volume--a book,
until actually destroyed, is a very living reality. As he takes it
carefully into his hands he thinks of the wondrous thoughts and deeds
that may be unfolded between its covers. He also thinks, if it be an old
book, of the host of scenes of other days through which the book has
passed. Bookplates in it of former owners are of interest; but so, too,
in a very striking manner, are any manuscript names and notes of former
owners.
After these few words, the following few notes will probably speak for
themselves.
The following curious inscription is at the beginning of a precious
Little Gidding large folio volume in the British Museum. The pressmark
is l 23. e 2:--
“Johannes Collet,
Filius
Thomæ Collet,
Pater
Thomæ Gulielmi Johannis,
Omnium superstes,
Natus
Quarto Junii 1633,
Denasciturus,
Quando Deo visum fuerit,
Interim hujus proprietarius.
----------
John Collet.”
The armorial bookplate of Robert Chambers is of interest, as I have it
in a copy of the Bible which has passed through terrible experiences, as
related in _The Times_, 23rd October, 1902, and given more fully
below:--
“The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testaments: translated
out of the original tongues, and with the former translations
diligently compared and revised.
By His Majesty’s Special Command.
Appointed to be read in Churches.
“Edinburgh, Printed by Sir J. H. Blair and J. Bruce, Printers to
the King’s Most Excellent Majesty. 1799.”
It carries the following inscriptions:--
“this Bible
is a token of respect to
Wᵐ Chambers
from his Sister Mary
on the 23ᵈ of Septr 1805
and hopes he will esteem it
and By the Grace of it’s Author
find in it a faithfull
Companion a Wise Counseler
a Comfortable and Sure Guide
through every Dispensation
of Life that it may Please
the Almighty to Place
--him in--”
“Wᵐ Chambers his Book / Gibralter Octʳ 24ᵗʰ 1806”
“In case of Death By Accident I trust the Person Whoever this Book may
fall in their hands that will send a Line to the Person mentioned in the
above hand. Intimating the same Octʳ 24 1806 Wᵐ Chambers”
Then, happily, in another inscription, signed “R. Chambers,” we get the
story completed:--
“Wᵐ Chambers of the 42ⁿᵈ
Lost his Life by Accident Feby
20ᵗʰ 1807 at Gibralter this Bible
fell to the care of his Comrade
Andrew Leach and became
his Companion through many
troubles they landed at Lisbon

they Marched to Salamanca
in Spain from which they
retreated under the greatest
hardships to Coruna
where on the 16ᵗʰ of Jany 1809
they were preserved in a most
dreadfull Conflict with the
Enemy and on the 27 landed
Safe in England he sent
this object of his Care and
Consolation to me April 10ᵗʰ
1809
R Chambers”
On a fly-leaf at the end of the Bible are the three following separate
inscriptions:--
“Col Wild, Malta
Servᵗ Name John Bacchens”
“William Chambers
Born Anno Domini
Sepᵗ 13ᵗʰ 1782”
-----------
“Mary Chambers
her Book April 19 1809”
Robert Chambers has cut the printed name off the foot of his bookplate
and pasted it above, so as not to cover the earlier inscription: “Wᵐ
Chambers his Book, Gibralter Octʳ 24ᵗʰ 1806.” I have just bought this
relic of Corunna--where Sir John Moore ended his glorious life amid the
fires of victory--from Mr. William Harper, a second-hand bookseller of
the true old-fashioned type, a man to whom a book is an object of
reverence. He catalogued the late Edward Solly’s interesting library.
His old chief, Andrew Clark, bought it at the sale, of which I quote the
catalogue title in full, from good Andrew Clark’s own marked copy:
“removed from Gray’s Inn. A catalogue of the valuable Library of 3000
vols. containing several excellent works on Topography, Theology, Law,
History, and Miscellanies; many of the best editions of the classics, a
very curious collection of old Bibles, In nearly all languages,
illuminated missals, breviaries, and old MSS. in good preservation, And
various works, in nearly all classes of Literature, many being
exceedingly curious and scarce, Which will be sold by Auction by Mr.
Geo. Berry at the auction rooms, Quality Court, Chancery Lane, on
Thursday, June 29th, 1854, and Following Day, at 11 for 12 oclock, each

is inscribed at the beginning of a copy of phrases “linguae latinæ, ab

Stationariorum. 1636.”
“M.DC.VIII

This inscription was in a book in splendid English sixteenth-century
binding, which belonged then to the Royal Society, and has the
well-known old bookplate of the Royal Society. Nothing now remains but
one cover and three fly-leaves.
The Henry Howard of this interesting inscription was born at Shottesham,
in Norfolk, on February 25th, 1539, being the second son of Henry
Howard, Earl of Surrey, and the younger brother of Thomas Howard, fourth
Duke of Norfolk. His father dying when he was but seven years old, he
was left to the care of his aunt, the Duchess of Richmond, and lived at
Reigate, a manor of the Duke of Norfolk’s, under the tutorship of John
Foxe, the martyrologist. On Queen Mary’s accession the Duke of Norfolk,
the grandfather, was released from prison, and he dismissed Foxe. Howard
was now put under the care of a zealous Catholic, John White, Bishop
first of Lincoln and then of Winchester. Soon came another turn of the
wheel--Mary died! Elizabeth turned White out of his bishopric, herself
took charge of Howard’s education and sent him to King’s College,
Cambridge, where he graduated in 1564.
In 1572 his brother, now Duke of Norfolk, was accused of plotting to
marry Mary Queen of Scots, and Banister, the Duke’s confidential agent,
declared in his confession that Henry was the subject first proposed for
the hand of Mary Queen of Scots. Henry Howard was at once seized, but
proving his innocence to Elizabeth’s satisfaction, he was released, and
a pension assigned to him. To follow him would be to write an elaborate
book; but, in short, his life of seventy-four years was too full of
variety to be peaceful or pleasant. He was constantly suspected of
strong Roman Catholic sympathies, and he was often in close
correspondence with Mary Queen of Scots, although, as regards the
tendency of his influence, he himself at least said that he gave her the
prudent advice to “abate the sails of her royal pride.”
At all events, much romance must always attach to the name of anyone
who, like Henry Howard, was oft exchanging tokens with Mary Queen of
Scots. In the latter years of Queen Elizabeth he entered into a secret
correspondence with James of Scotland, who wrote to him often on
intimate terms, and who, on hearing of Elizabeth’s death, sent Howard a
ruby as a token. On January 1st, 1604, Howard became Lord Warden of the
Cinque Ports, and soon afterwards Baron Howard of Marnhull,
Dorsetshire, and Earl of Northampton. In the next year he was made a
Knight of the Garter, and in 1608 he was appointed to the office of Lord
Privy Seal.
Sir Percivall Hart, Chief Server, and Knight Harbinger to Henry VIII.,
Edward VI., Mary, and Elizabeth, died in 1580, leaving a son, Sir
Percivall Hart, who married twice, first to Anne, daughter of Sir
Richard Manwood, Knight, Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer, by whom
he had a son, William; and his second wife was Jane, daughter of Sir
Edward Stanhope of Grimston, Knight, by whom he had issue Sir Henry
Hart, Knight of the Bath, who died in his father’s lifetime, having
married Elizabeth, daughter of---- Burdet, and a widow of Sir Simon
Norwich, by whom he left Percyval, Francis, George, and Elizabeth, who
died young; Percyval and Jerome, who died without issue; and George, who
married Elizabeth, daughter of---- Berisford, and left two sons,
Percival and George, and two daughters, Jane and Elizabeth.
William Hart, only son of Sir Percyval by his first wife, succeeded his
father in the possession of Lullingstone, and died on March 31st, 1671,
aged seventy-seven, and was buried there. He married Elizabeth,
daughter of Sir Anthony Weldon, of Swanscombe, Knight, who died in 1677,
and lies buried there, by whom he had no issue, upon which the Manor of
Lullingstone descended to Percyval Hart, Esq., eldest son of Sir Henry
Hart, Knight of the Bath, eldest son of Sir Percyval Hart, Knight, by
his second wife as abovementioned. He was afterwards knighted, and left
issue by Anne, his wife, one son, Percyval Hart, Esq., who was of
Lullingstone, was sheriff in 1707, and Member of Parliament for the
county in the ninth and twelfth years of Queen Anne. He died October
27th, 1738, aged seventy, and was buried in Lullingstone Church, having
by Sarah, his wife, youngest daughter of Henry Dixon of Hilden, Esquire,
an only daughter and heir, Anne, then married to her second husband, Sir
Thomas Dyke of Hexham, in Sussex, Baronet.
The notes given below, and many more, all evidently in the hand of John
Crane, are in a 1649 copy of _Reliquiæ Sacræ Carolinæ_:--
Look back in the Record Office to the time of Naseby fight. There is
written as follows:--
1645, June 23ʳᵈ.--Ordered in the Comon’s House this day that the 23
members here named are added to the committee where Mr. Tate hath the
chaire, and are to meete tomorrowe morning att 7 of ye clocke in ye
Queenes Court, and to appoint persons to transcribe those particulars
(in the several letters and papers taken at Naseby field) that are most
materiall, and to consider what shall be done with the Portugall Agent,
and to examine Mr. Browne & his sonne (if ye House sitt not) when they
are brought up.
This Mr. Tate has been indexed as Zouch Tate, M.P. for Northampton,
chairman of the committee for regulating the armies.
Baker’s _Northamptonshire_ relates that John Crane, of Loughton, Bucks,
Clerk of the Household to James the First and Charles the First, was
living in 1651 at the age of seventy-five and lived long after that. He
married Mary, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Tresham. They had many
children, including a son John and a daughter Anne; the latter marrying
Francis Arundell of Stoke Park.
On the blank lower half of the page preceding the _Eikon_, and on the
title of the _Eikon_:--
“Some tyme after the King was murtherd by accident I was in ye company
of one of Mr. Tate’s servants (with my wife & several others) whose
master was one of those appoynted to examine the kings letters I asked
him whether he ever saw aney of ye kings writing, he told me that his
master tate committed severall of those letters to his custodie, and
that those letters ye Parlt. put forth in print were written with ye
king’s own hand, I asked him whether they printed all they had, he said
no they burned maney, I asked ye reason, he said because they vindicated
the king from maney things they charged upon him & that if those letters
had bin printed they would have bin very much for the kings advantage &
that they caused to be printed only those they thought would make
against him, and that it was pittie they were burned. This my cosin
Zouch Tats man spake at my sister Arundells at Stoake in ye company of
maney with me John Crane junior. This he had told me before, but I loved
to hear him againe.”
“Ex libris Joannis Holleri Brixi:
In Domino confido
Quisquis es inuentor nostri
te quæso libelli
Huic reddas cujusque nomen adesse”
is the contemporary inscription over the bookplate reproduced on another
page:--
“Bibliothecæ”
“Novacellensis.”
“T”
It appears in a copy of D. Radvlphi Ardentis Pictavi, Doctoris Theologi
per antiqui illustriss. Aquitaniæ Ducis Gulielmi huius nominis quarti,
Concionatoris disertiss in Epistolas et Euangelia (et vocant) Sanctorum,
Homiliæ, Ecclesiastis omnibus animarum curam gerentibus plurimum
necessariæ, et ante annos propè quingentos ab Auctore conscriptæ, nunc
primum in lucem editæ.
Quibus annecti curauimus eisusdem Homilias in Epistolas et Euangelia,
quæ in communi Sanctorum legi consueuerunt. Then the printer’s block of
two birds in fighting attitude between an upright staff separating them,
with the motto: “Resparia crescunt concordia,” and the date 1560. Below
the printer’s block: “Antverpiæ, In ædibus Viduæ & Hæredum Joan.
Stelfii. M.D.LXX. Cum Priuilegio.”
Nova cella, or Newstifft, a beautiful Bavarian cloister of the
Præmonstratensian Order in the diocese of Freysing, near the junction of
the Moselle and Iser, was, in the year 1141, founded by three brothers:
Otho, Bishop of Freysing; Henry, Margrave of Austria, and Conrad of
Salzburg. They dedicated it to the apostles St. Peter and St. Paul.
Alas! in the time of the Thirty Years’ War it was quite destroyed. On
one blank leaf is pasted the bookplate here given, and on another is
written, “Ex libris/T. H. Foster/In Festi Purificationis/ B.V.M. 88/+”.
The book is in its original stamped binding, with clasps.
Now this short gossip on _ex libris_ must draw to a close.
In one sense--that of variety--the study of bookplates can be elaborated
in a never-ending course. You can set your mind on collecting,
arranging, and studying the bookplates of lawyers. Again, you can limit
that, and collect only the bookplates of barristers, as distinguished
from solicitors; you can limit your attention to judges; you can confine
it to a century, a country, or even a county; you can strive to put
together all the Chippendale bookplates ever made; you can strive to
collect every portrait-plate, every plate with a ship, every
landscape-plate, every military bookplate, or collect military
bookplates, at the same time excluding every aspirant below a general!
The varieties are endless; it is merely a question of ringing the
changes. Perhaps one of the most sensible divisions, in a small way, is
that of collecting the plates of the various members of certain
families.
Memorable words were spoken in March, 1891, by John Leighton, F.S.A.,
the first chairman of the Ex Libris Society: “The Society should be
select, and in no way connected with profit, other than the pleasure to
be derived in making the past patent to the present and future.”
The present writer is not a bookplate collector; but an honoured member
of the Council of the Ex Libris Society has kindly lent most of the
numbers of the Society’s Journal, from the date of its foundation. One
or two of several years he had lost, and very many of the numbers had
not, till now, made the acquaintance of a paper-knife. There is, I need
hardly say, much in the Journal of interest, and reflecting highly on
the ingenuity of Mr. W. H. K. Wright, fellow of the Royal Historical
Society.
In turning over the numbers of the Journal a fond, vain wish seizes one;
and it is this--Oh! that I could strike out the trade journal element,
or relegate it to certain pages, wholly apart from the interesting
historical and antiquarian portions. Alas! how could this be expected,
seeing that leading members of the Society were professionally busied
with bookplates? Perhaps this has all been remedied.
Then, too, in turning over numbers one cannot help thinking that a
bookplate of simple taste was sadly discouraged. In the first place, a
“fanciful” design was directly recommended; and in the second place, by
constantly urging that each member of the Society must sport at least
one bookplate of his own, and must be ready to exchange. Thus anyone who
has joined the Society, and whose own library may be limited to
_Bradshaw_ and the _Stock Exchange Year Book_, must start an _ex
libris_, not to place in the primary proper place for bookplates, but to
post to Dick, Tom, and Harry, similarly placed. Again, unless he wish to
be ignored, he must make every effort to have as grand and fantastic a
plate as his neighbour.
A volume has just, on going to press, come into my hands, which,
although printed as late as 1850, is deliciously redolent of old-world
life. The work is the Life of James Davies, a village schoolmaster,
written by Sir Thomas Phillips. London: John W. Parker, West Strand,
1850. On the inner cover, facing the half-title, is a most charming
black silhouette profile portrait of a lady of some ninety years ago,
subscribed “ever your sincere Friend Sarah Jones.” Above is written, “S
Jones born 9ᵗʰ April 1771.” In, of course, another hand, is written at
the foot, “Died July 18ᵗʰ: 1852.” The portrait is of the wife and widow
of the Rev. William Jones, as shown by several marked passages of the
book. Her husband was in pastoral charge, and she his devoted helper,
where James Davies was the earnest and evidently very unpedantic
pedagogue: “It was in the summer of 1815 that James Davies removed from
Usk to the Devauden, and received the charge of rude, ragged, and
boisterous mountain children, whom he long instructed by precept and
example.”
This biography, the work of Sir Thomas Phillips, a neighbouring squire,
is illustrated with very good engravings, and altogether recalls at
every turn, scenes worthy of good George Herbert and Nicholas Ferrar.
