One of many fine items that will appear in our new internet catalogue on 
our website in a few days consisting of 19th Century British Literature. 
   The discovery of a few more items to catalogue delayed the posting, 
but it should be up on our site within a week.  Included will be 
letters, manuscripts, association copies, and signed books by Byron, 
Carlyle, Coleridge, De Quincey, Rossetti, Ruskin, Shelley, Wordsworth, 
and others, as well as first editions by the above and many others.

Chapter  79 from Thackeray's THE VIRGINIANS. The manuscript begins "on
his  lordship, who received us kindly enough and or regard for his old
friend  her  father...."  and  ends "My poor Theo had  a  nice  dinner
waiting  for  me after the rehearsal. I pleaded fatigue as the  reason
for  looking  so pale. I did not dare to convey to her  this  dreadful
news." About Fine and quite scarce.                           $6000.00
