A SUPPLEMENT TO BLAKE BOOKS

G.E. BENTLEY, JR.

When Blake Books¹↤ ¹ G. E. Bentley, Jr., Blake Books: Annotated Catalogues of William Blake’s Writings in Illuminated Printing, in Conventional Typography and in Manuscript and Reprints thereof, Reproductions of his Designs, Books with his Engravings, Catalogues, Books he owned and Scholarly and Critical Works about him. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1977). went to press in July 1971, it was complete through 1970. In the years until its publication on 31 March 1977, a good deal more information on Blake was published, including over one hundred dissertation abstracts, and some obscure originals were discovered or rediscovered. This information was incorporated as far as possible in the text of Blake Books or in addenda to it (pp. 951-1001), but of course even these addenda, completed in the winter of 1976, were out of date when the book was published. Further, since I was in India, with very limited library resources, from June 1975 until March 1976, the effective terminus for the addenda was about April 1975, except for works which kind correspondents drew to my attention.

The present supplement, then, is intended to bring Blake Books up to date, incorporating all the relevant information available up to its publication on 31 March 1977.²↤ ² The largest lacunae are probably from foreign (particularly Japanese) publications such as the issue of Mizue, No. 816 ([Tokyo] 1973), 11-59 entirely devoted to Blake with 56 plates (I have been unable to obtain a copy or ascertain the contents), or newspaper accounts such as the scores of German reviews of the Hamburg and Frankfurt Blake exhibitions detailed in Blake, XI (1977), 48-9. The symbols and abbreviations are the same as those in A Blake Bibliography (1964) and Blake Books (1977).

The question of numbers for additions^[e] to Blake Books is a vexing one. For new editions, the problem is simple enough; a second edition of, say, no. 190 is lettered B: 190B, and a fifth edition or printing of it is 190E. For new books and essays, however, it is not so easy. In Blake Books, there are some intercallations, e.g., a work which belongs between 109 and 110 is numbered A109, a second is B109, and so on. If a work should be later found which should go between A109 and B109, it would be numbered AA109, and a second, later intercallation would be AB109. This is obviously very clumsy. The problem is that the bibliography grows chronologically, whereas five of its six sections are organized alphabetically. The numbers of this supplement are based on those of Blake Books, though this becomes increasingly awkward, particularly for authors who are prolific and at other growth points such as Catalogues and Bibliographies.

In future, additions to Blake Books should probably be identified by Part and Section (e.g., I B for Part I Writings, Section B Collections and Selections, or VI for Part VI Biography and Criticism), the year, and the first word of the entry (Marriage or Essick). Thus an edition of The Writings of William Blake published in 1977 would be identified as “IB 1977 Writings”, and Bier, Jesse, “Blake’s Fortune-Cookie”, Enco Products News Bulletin, XLI (1959), 14-182, would be identified as “VI 1959 Bier”. This will create redundancies only when, say, Bier publishes two articles in 1959, an uncommon enough occurrence. In practice, this will mean that further supplements to Blake Books may appear with Part and Section heads, but that entries in each Section will need to be preceeded only by the date (not by a separate, arbitrary, number) — and this is already done in the present arrangement for Part IV Catalogues and Bibliographies. I hope that this will prove a simpler system capable of indefinite growth and ready identification.

I am grateful particularly to Dr. Raymond H. Deck, Jr. for sending me copies of the early Swedenborgian printings of Blake’s poems and to Mr Raymond Thompson for pointing out to me many facsimile reprints of Blake criticism.

8. (h) Fly-leaves (3 at front, one at rear) and blank leaves (ff. 153-65) on unwatermarked woven paper 24.5 × 33 cm;

These leaves were mounted, inlaid to uniform size or inserted, and ‘BOUND BY A W BAIN’ in late 19th-Century(?) three-quarter Red morroco over Red pebble cloth, g.e.; the leaves with insertions (except for Cunningham and a few others) were numbered in pencil at the bottom left 1-121 (ff. 2-152);⁶↤ ⁶ On the versos of most insertions except Cunningham are tiny letters at the bottom right which cumulatively and repeatedly seem to spell ‘rockheim’ (or ‘heimrock’), with some gaps and a few interventions of D, S, W, Y. I can see no pattern or meaning in these letters. The leaves were numbered consecutively in pencil at the top middle margin beginning with an earlier flyleaf before the leaves were trimmed, for a few trimmed numbers survive at the very top: e.g., ‘83’ on f. 82 and ‘108’ on f. 107. A few inserted leaves were later removed, before it came to the Morgan, from f. 18^r (12.2 × 17.2 cm), f. 21 (Urizen pl. 3, 11.0 × 15.8 cm), f. 115 (leaf-size 24.3 × 28.8 cm, design-size 20.6 × 21.5 cm), f. 116 (leaf-size 24.3 × 28.5 cm, design-size 20.8 × 25.4 cm), f. 124 (24.2[?] × 28.8 cm), and f. 133 (21.3 × 28.5 cm). (The only known loose copy of Urizen pl. 3, in the Keynes [Fitzwilliam] collection, has different dimensions and history.) (3) After the volume was received by the Morgan Library, the leaves were foliated in pencil 1-165 at the top right corners by Mr Thomas Lange, the volume was disbound, the leaves were shaved at the inner margin, and some of the plates of Blake’s writings were separately mounted.

HISTORY: (1) W. H. Herriman (d. July 1918), whose bookplate is on the front cover, bequeathed it in 1920⁷ to (2) The American Academy in Rome, whose library stamp is on f.3 and which sold it in 1976⁷↤ ⁷ According to Mr Thomas V. Lange of the Morgan, to whom I am deeply indebted for much information and kindness concerning this volume. to (3) The PIERPONT MORGAN LIBRARY.

The sponsor, who is not identified in the book, may be Andrew Chatto, whose ledgers (now with the firm of Chatto & Windus, transcribed by my friend Morton Paley, who generously, brought them to my attention) record an order on 17 Nov. 1877 for printing 100 sets of ‘Blake reproductions’ and binding them on 26 Jan. 1878 by Sotheran at a total cost of £139.10s. (The only other sets of reproductions of Blake known to have been made in England between 1868 and 1890 were the Pearson Jerusalem of 1877 [250 copies], the Muir Edition of the Works of Wm. Blake of 1884-90 [50 copies], and W. B. Scott’s 10 Etchings after Blake of 1878. Only the ‘1876’ Works corresponds to the Chatto ledger entry in bulk and number of copies printed; its titlepage date may have been an optimistic anticipation.)

Gallery of British Artists, from the Days of Hogarth to the Present Time, or Series of 288 Engravings of their Most Approved Productions, Executed on Steel in the First Style of Outline, Selected, arranged, and accompanied with descriptive and explanatory Notices in English and French. In Four Volumes. Paris, 1837. (British Library)

A duplicate title-page reads: Galerie des Artistes Anglais, depuis Hogarth jusqu’a nos jours ou suite de 288 gravures de leurs productions les plus estimées, soigneusement grávee de Notes descriptives en Anglais et an Francais. En quatre volumes. Paris, 1837.

This is evidently just a re-issue of Hamilton’s English School (1830-32), misleadingly re-titled, without advertisement or explanatory matter other than for the designs, with the same number of plates (288), and the same Blake plates (numbered 181, 271) and explanations, in alphabetical order in Vol. I.

480. Aphorisms on Man.

There were no plates in some copies of the ‘Third Edition’ of Dublin, 1790, and the frontispiece in other copies of the 1790 Dublin edition is copied after Blake with great fidelity by P. Maguire.

487. E. THE / HISTORY / OF / SIR CHARLES GRANDISON, / AND / THE HON. MISS BYRON; / IN / A SERIES OF LETTERS. / BY MR. SAMUEL RICHARDSON, / AUTHOR OF THE HISTORIES OF PAMELA / AND CLARISSA HARLOW. /-/ FORMERLY PUBLISHED IN SEVEN VOLUMES; THE WHOLE NOW / COMPRISED IN TWO. / VOL. I[-II]. /=/Cooke’s Edition. /=/ [Woodcut vignette of inkwell, pens, books, &c.] /=/ EMBELLISHED WITH FIFTEEN SUPERB ENGRAVINGS. /=/ LONDON; /. [Vol. I:] STEREOTYPED AND PRINTED FOR T.

DEAN STREET, SOHO. / And sold by all Booksellers in the / United Kingdom [n.d.] (McGill)

This edition is a curious bastard throughout, with very mixed and unacknowledged parentage. (a) For one thing, the irregular new dates on the plates (19 May to 21 Nov. 1811) seem to point to yet another edition, as yet untraced, of 1811, published presumably by Charles Cooke (1760-1816), whose imprint is on the plates. (b) For another, the two titlepages are not congruent, one citing T. Kelly as publisher with the date but no printer (Kelly was at 17 Paternoster Row from at least 1820¹⁵↤ ^{15 | 15b | 15} W. B. Todd, A Directory of Printers . . . 1800-1840 (1972). ), and the other citing Charles Cooke as publisher with the printer but no date. Probably the work changed hands after Cooke’s death, but the second titlepage did not record the change—or the McGill set (the only one reported¹⁶↤ ¹⁶ The North American National Union Catalog lists a similar copy in the Library of Congress. ) is a mixed set. In any case, it almost certainly was not ‘STEREOTYPED . . . FOR T. KELLY’, though it may well have been ‘PRINTED FOR’ him. (c) For another, David Cock, who appears as the printer in the colophon to both volumes at 75 Dean Street, was at that address only in 1810-1815.¹⁵ Presumably Cock made the stereotype plates but did not print them at Dean Street after 1815. (Notice that Cock appears only on the undated ‘PRINTED FOR C. COOKE’ titlepage.) (d) For another, neither titlepage nor contents (e.g., the Advertisement on I, 5) acknowledges the relationship of this edition to the previous two-volume Harrison edition (n.d.) or to the original edition with these designs in The Novelist’s Magazine, Vol. X-XI (1783). (e) For another, the designs are the same as those in The Novelist’s Magazine, reduced from 28 to 15 and with some plates (presumably those irreparably worn) reengraved though bearing the names of the same designer (appropriately) and engraver (quite wrongly, presumably). For instance, Blake’s second plate was re-engraved and signed ‘Scatchard [i.e., Stothard] del.’ ‘Blake sculp.’, though it seems highly unlikely that the original engraver made this new plate.

The two plates which seem to be still Blake’s, though with the lines re-entered and the costumes changed considerably, are:

1. Without plate number (Vol. I, at p. 173), now inscribed ‘Scatchard del.’, ‘Letter 6. Vol. II. / Miss Byron paying a visit to / Emily in her Chamber. / Printed for C. Cooke, Paternoster Row, July 6. 1811.’ (Design size: 7.1 × 12.0 cm.)

3. Without plate number (Vol. II, at p. 217), now inscribed ‘Stothard R.A. del.’, ‘Letter. 19. Vol. II. / Charlotte and Caroline’s affecting interview with / their Brother Sir Charles Grandison. / Printed for C. Cooke, Paternoster Row, June 1. 1811.’ The original 1783 date is still dimly visible. (Design size: 7.1 × 11.6 cm.)

The 1815 edition was first described by Dr Christopher Heppner in Blake Newsletter, X (1977), 100-8, begin page 150 | ↑ back to top with the first and last versions of the three plates reproduced; for much other vital information I am indebted to the kindness of Elizabeth Lewis of the McGill Rare Book Room.

Rees, Abraham, ed.

489. Cyclopaedia (1802-20).

Pl. 8. A separate engraving for Miscellany (Gem Engraving) Plate XVIII in Vol. III, representing only the lower part of the published design, the two large busts and the profile view, unsigned, survives in an apparently unique proof (printed twice, on recto and verso of one leaf) in the collection of Blakeana with The Book of Los pl. 5 acquired in 1976 by The Pierpont Morgan Library. The date is probably about ‘1819’, as the published plate by Blake and W. Lowry was dated, it is watermarked J Wh / 18[ ]. The engraving is ‘extremely’ similar to the printed version, and we can only speculate, as Thomas Lange does in TLS for 14 January 1977, that Blake’s engraving did not leave sufficient space for Lowry to add the other designs which appear in the published version.

The printing cannot have been completed earlier than 1827, for Wrangham’s Preface is dated 28 February 1827.

In the Supplement under Octavos is a section of CATALOGUES including ‘Blake’s (Will.) [DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE of] Pictures in Water Colours, &c. [?copy C] . . . . . . .. 1809’ (p. 630).

In his Preface, Wrangham says that ‘From my very childhood, the acquiring of Books has been my ruling passion’ (p. iii), particularly privately printed books. His posthumous sales catalogues do not list the Descriptive Catalogue, but they do include Blair’s Grave (1808), uncut (Sotheby, 12-22 July 1843, lot 301), Job with ‘21 very curious plates’ (lot 302), and Hayley’s Designs (1802), all four parts (Sotheby, 29 Nov.-9 Dec. 1843, lot 557).

A correspondence, set off by Anon.’s review of the 1913 Blake exhibition (‘The Artist of the Soul’) and capped by an article by Fry (pp. 791-2). For Kerr, Fry, Jerrold, and R., it is a debate on ‘What is Art?’ (p. 791), with Blake as a touchstone. Fry says (p. 359) that ‘We are almost forced to choose between Blake and the rest of British Art. . . . I vote for Blake’. Kerr asserts (p. 256) that Blake’s pictures are ‘not art at all. . . . They are hideous . . . above all, not sane’.

Meanwhile, under the same title, MacDonald and Russell wage a separate vendetta about the quality of Russell’s catalogue of the 1913 exhibition.
