which he thinks has become almost unintelligible, from the
changes in our legal procedure. The noble lord relates that he
had heard Professor Porson, at the Cider Cellars, in Maiden Lane,
now no more, recite the whole from memory, and that he concluded
by relating that when buying a copy of it, and complaining that
the price was very high, the bookseller said, “Yes, Sir, but you
know _Law-Books_ are always very dear.”

TERNAUX-COMPANS (Henri).
Catalogue des livres et MSS. de la bibliothèque de feu M. Rætzel.
Paris, 1836.
When this gentleman wished to dispose of a portion of his curious
collections, he took a fancy to be enigmatic on the occasion,
and part was offered for sale as the property of a fictitious
Englishman, Mr. Riddell, and part as the property of a fictitious
German, Herr Rætzel. “Räthsel” in German is the equivalent of
“riddle” in English, and the riddle has remained a riddle to many
bibliographers to this day. The Athenæum, from whose number for
March, 1860, we take this, gives an instance of a very learned
German bibliograph, Dr. Graesse, being thus misled. As he more
than once in his _Trésor des Livres Rares, etc._, quotes the
prices at the sale of “M. Rætzel.” This last is mentioned by
Harrisse in his Bib. Americana, 1866. See also Quérard La France

The opening chapters of Lady Audley’s Secret were first published
anonymously in Robin Goodfellow, a journal conducted by Charles
Mackay, in 1861. It ceased at the twelfth number. Four octavo
pages of the latter, in double columns, make 24 pages in the
three volume reprint, in which the fact of its having previously
appeared is not mentioned.
Henry Dunbar, the Story of an Outcast. By the Author of Lady Audley’s
Secret. _Maxwell & Co._, 1864.
On the publication of this work the “Athenæum” made the following
remarks:
“The Publication of a new novel by Miss Braddon seems to bring,
as a matter of course, a renewal of the old puffery. We shall
take the liberty of telling all parties concerned that the thing
is over done. People are growing suspicious of books which
begin--as far as they can see--with a second edition.”
This novel was first published in a serial form in the London
Journal in 1864, under the title of “The Outcast,” though this
fact is not mentioned in the re-issue. With regard to the second
edition being the first, the latter was doubtless a very small
one, and this may not unjustly be considered as part of the
“puffing system,” which we by no means condemn, if carried on
honestly. A certain amount of puffing for an unknown writer is
necessary to bring him into notice; but our readers may judge for
themselves of the following paragraph, sent by the publishers of
the novel to the “Athenæum” for publication:
“_Henry Dunbar_--The publishers state that the whole of the 1st
edition of this _new novel_, by the author of ‘Lady Audley’s
Secret’ has been completely exhausted on the first day of
publication; and that a second edition is in the press, and will
be ready on Monday next. Admirers of Miss Braddon’s prolific pen
have much cause to rejoice in her popularity, the growth of which
is now made more manifest than ever by the simultaneous issue of
her writings in the French, German, and English languages, etc.”
Mr. Maxwell has the sanction of the law for this
proceeding:--“the Vice-Chancellor apprehended that if a publisher
chose to print 20,000 copies, keeping in his storehouse a
large quantity, and periodically issuing them to the world,
by thousands, for instance, every such issue would be an
edition.”--_Reade_ v. _Bentley_, Phillips, p. 73.

Soane, and published in 1825.

Discipline. A Novel. Edin., 1814. Lond., 1847.
The authoress began writing this in 1812, the year in which
Waverley burst upon the novel world. In a letter, she says of her
work:--
“It is very unfortunate in coming after Waverley, by far the most
splendid exhibition of talent in the novel way which has appeared
since the days of Fielding and Smollett. There seems little
doubt that it comes from the pen of Scott. What a competitor
for poor little me! The worst of all is, that I have ventured
unconsciously on Waverley’s own ground, by carrying my heroine to
the Highlands!”
“Till I began Self-Control [1811] I had never in my life written
anything but a letter or a receipt, excepting a few hundreds of
vile rhymes, from which I desisted by the time I had gained the
wisdom of fifteen years; therefore I was so ignorant of the art
on which I was entering, that I formed scarcely any plan for
my tale. I merely intended to show the power of the religious
principle in bestowing self-command, and to bear testimony
against a maxim as immoral as indelicate, that a reformed rake
makes the best husband.”--Mary Brunton to Joanna Baillie.
