Francis  Phillimore  and  John  F.  Dexter.)  Catalogue,  with  purchasers’ ­
  names  and  prices  realised,  of  the  pictures,  drawings,  and
objects  of  art  of  the  late  Charles  Dickens,  dispersed  at  Christie,  Manson

Press,  E.C.
A  BEAUTIFULLY  printed  and  luxuriously  got-up  book  of
special  value  to  the  Dickens  collector.  In  three  separate
divisions,  the  text  includes  primarily  a  reprint  of  the  catalogue
of  the  Dickens  sale,  at  which  it  may  be  remembered  almost  fabulous ­
  sums  were  realised.  Mr.  Francis  Phillimore  contributes  a
gossipy  and  interesting  introduction,  and  Mr.  John  F.  Dexter
a  lengthy,  learned,  and  exhaustive  paper  on  book  rarities,  subtitled ­
  “  Hints  to  Dickens  Collectors.”
Bewick  Memento  {with  an  Introduction  by
Robert  Robinson).  Catalogue,  with  purchasers’  names  and  pricM
realised,  of  the  scarce  and  curious  collection  of  silver  plate,  prints,
pictures,  wood  blocks,  copperplates,  and  Bewick  relics,  &c.,  dispersed
at  Newcastle-upon-Tyne  in  1884.  Illustrated.  LONDON:  Field  &
Tuer,  The  Leadenhall  Press,  E.C.
A  BEAUTIFULLY  printed  and  luxuriously  got-up  book  of
special  value  to  the  Bewick  collector.  Mr.  Robert  Robinson, ­
  of  Newcastle-upon-Tyne,  who  contributes  the  introduction,
has  been  connected  during  the  greater  part  of  a  long  lifetime
with  the  Bewick  family,  and  he  writes  with  a  full  knowledge  of
his  subject.  Of  the  eighteen  beautiful  illustrations,  printed
on  separate  leaves,  twelve  embellished  the  original  catalogue,
but  the  six  additional  at  the  end,  including  the  humorously
treated  frontispiece  of  “  Cows  Angling”—all  charming  specimens
of  Bewick’s  skill  with  the  graver—are  first  impressions  from
blocks  hitherto  not  printed  from.
