BERNARD (H. H.) Ph. Dr., _allonym_ [Rev. GEORGE SKINNER, of

Cambridge Free Thoughts and Letters on Bibliolatry, translated from
Lessing. Lond., _Trübner_, 1862.
We have it from authority that Dr. Bernard never wrote one word
of this work. It was, in fact, published after his death. We
have also been informed that Mr. Skinner had the permission of
a relative of Dr. Bernard to use his (Dr. B.’s) name. We do not
understand what right the relative had to give the permission.

translation from a Popish one [Tillemont], with some further
particulars relating to the true character and conduct of the

Douglas] 1757.
Dr. Douglas, who exposed the Lauder forgeries, charged Bower
with a piece of shameful plagiarism, appropriating to himself
the work of De Tillemont, a French historian, without notice or
acknowledgment. In order that there might be no mistake, Dr.
Douglas printed a few chapters of De Tillemont, page by page,
with Bower, and thus triumphantly exposed the fraud. Twenty
pamphlets were written in a controversy which followed.

Memoirs of James Marquis of Montrose, K.G., Captain-General of
Scotland. By James Grant, author of The Romance of War, etc. With
illustrations. Lond., _Routledge_, 1858; 8vo; viii, 396.
The _Athenæum_, in showing this work to be little more than a
wretched, badly written _plagiarism_ of “Memoirs of Montrose,
by Mark Napier,” begins with these observations:--“It is time
that some inquiry were made into the ethics of cheap publishing.
As far as such a movement furnishes (without the infringement
of private rights) good literature at a moderate price to the
public, every sensible person will give it approbation and
encouragement. But is the pretence of cheapness and free use of
that favourite term ‘the million’ to justify practices which
are condemned in all trades, and in literature are peculiarly
dangerous. Is a dear book, of whatever merit, to be looked on
simply as raw material for the manufacture of cheap books?
“The plain fact is, that Mr. Grant has borrowed from his
predecessor all that he dared, and ignored his existence as much
as he could.”--Part I., 1858, p. 364.
H.
HAMPDEN (John) _allonym_ [Lord NUGENT].
True and Faithful Relation of a Worthy Discourse between Colonel
John Hampden and Colonel Oliver Cromwell. Preceded by an Explanatory
Preface.
One of those clever imitations of the political and oratorical
literature of the 17th century, which could only have been
written by one to whom its books and men were familiar, and being
put forth (of course anonymously) in the quaint old-faced letter
of its period, Lord Nugent took great delight in the success
with which he was able, by means of a copy elaborately stained
with tobacco-juice, to pass it off upon his uncle, Mr. Thomas
Grenville, no indifferent judge of such matters, as a genuine
piece of Commonwealth literature.--_Memoir_, p. lxix. See J. F.
HEINFETTER (Herman) _pseud._ [PARKER, of Tunbridge Wells].
This gentleman has been in the habit, for the last twenty years,
of putting advertisements over the leader of the _Athenæum_.
They are upon religious controversial subjects, generally being
in the form of what, in slang, would be a “poser” for our
clergy. He must have spent several hundreds of pounds in these
advertisements. No one has turned up with sufficient talent or
money to answer him after his own fashion, so Mr. Heinfetter
has it pretty nearly all his own way. He always dates from 17,
Fenchurch Street.

having escaped our notice, until too late for insertion.

K.
KIRBY (C.) publisher.
In 1803 Hogg, the publisher, filed a Bill to restrain Kirby from
pirating one of his works. It appears that Hogg was proprietor
of a work published in monthly numbers, commencing in August,
1802, under the title of “The Wonderful Magazine,” by William
Granger, Esq., that name being (according to the Bill), as is
usual in works of that description, inserted in the title-page,
merely as the nominal author; and, under an arrangement for
that purpose, the name of the defendant, Kirby, was used as
the publisher, and the numbers were sold at his shop upon
commission, but the publication was under the management and
at the expense of the plaintiff. The undertaking proceeded in
this manner until the publication of the fifth number, when a
dispute arose in consequence of an alteration in the title. Kirby
refused to permit his name to appear to the work any longer.
In December a final settlement of accounts took place, and the
plaintiff circulated hand-bills, dated 20th Dec., stating that
the succeeding numbers would be published by him, and the 6th
No. would be published by him on Friday next, and that number
was accordingly published by him on the 31st of December. On
the 1st January, 1803, the 1st No. of a periodical work was
published by the defendants Kirby and Scott, under a similar
title, described as a “New Series Improved.” One of the arguments
used by the defendants was that the plaintiff was not entitled
to protection, as he, on his title-page, practised an imposition
on the public by using the name of Granger, who did not exist.
On the other hand, it was contended that the assumption of a
fictitious name could not be considered a fraud upon the public,
because it had to be done by “the most respectable authors.” But
Lord Eldon said he had considerable difficulty as to the false
colours under which the original publication appeared. Though it
was very usual, he could not represent it to his mind otherwise
than as something excessively like a fraud on the public. Kirby’s
publication was restrained as a _piracy_ and a breach of faith.

Letters of Advice [on a wife, a husband, the marriage ceremony,

after her marriage, which took place in the year 1774. The
internal evidence of their genuineness is so strong, and must
be so satisfactory to the minds of all who peruse them with the
attention they deserve, that the Editor is content,” etc.
Which, we suppose, means that these pretended letters are an
imposture, in as much as they pretended to come from a person of
rank, while in reality they are the work of some literary hack.
It would by no means be the first that issued under Colburn’s
auspices.

INDEX OF AUTONYMS.
It will perhaps be useful to some of our readers who may desire
further information with regard to the authors herein mentioned,
that such may be found in Watts’ Bibliotheca Britannica, which
contains an entry of almost every book published up to about
1820: after this, Lowndes’ Bibliographer’s Manual, by Bohn,
should be searched, and for religious pub. Darling’s Cyclo. will
be found useful; The English Catalogue, 1864; Stevens’ Cat. of
American Books; and Roorback and Trübner’s American Bib. Guides.
Allibone’s Dict. of Eng. Lit. to 1859 will generally inform the
reader whether an author is in any of these. We frequently refer
to Men of the Time when an author is given in that work: our
reference by no means implies that our remarks are taken from
that useful publication. The number of names occurring in this
work, not in any of the above, is remarkable. Several of our
biographies are from original sources. We must acknowledge the
very great assistance we have received from the Rev. C. Hole’s
Brief Biographical Dictionary.
