The editor says in a note: "I suspect that no complete copy of Pericles has been preserved, otherwise it is difficult to account for the popularity of a drama, which though artistically constructed, and certainly by Shakespeare, is in its present mutilated form, one of his worst pieces."

Bodenham was the compiler of the original collection from which these songs were extracted, one of which, "The passionate sheepheards song signed "W. Shakespeare" is given in facsimile. The editor says that but three copies of the 1600 edition are known, one in the Bodleian, a second sold at auction in 1856, and one the property of W. C. Hazlitt. The present selection gives a list of the names of the authors of the pieces in the original collection, following a MS. in the British museum, MS. Harl. 280. In this, "On a day alack the day," being the song above referred to, is assigned to Shakespeare; but "My flocks feed not" is left without name, though Taggard had assigned it incorrectly Halliwell thinks to Shakespeare in The 1599. volume closes with an index to authors' names, and to first lines, referring for pages to Brydges' reprint of the original, 1812, which followed the 1614 edition.

This little poem was entered in the Stationer's Registers, Oct. 1, 1610 (cf.

Gifts.

CONCORD, 14 March, 1870. To President ELIOT. Dear Sir: I am requested to communicate to you, and through you to the Corporation, the desire of THOMAS CARLYLE, Esq., of London, to give to Harvard College, by a bequest in his will, the books named in the enclosed catalogue. I know not how I can explain his wishes so well as by citing some extracts from his letters.

In a letter to me, dated 5 Cheyne Row, Chelsea, London, 18th November, 1869, Mr. Carlyle writes: "For many years back a thought which I used to check again as fond and silly, has been occasionally present to me, of testifying my gratitude to New England. by bequeathing to it my poor Falstaff regiments of books, - those I purchased and used in writing Cromwell, and ditto, those on Friedrich the Great. This could be done, I often said to myself: this could, perhaps, and this would be a real satisfaction to me. But who would march through Coventry with such a set!' The extreme insignificance of the gift, this and nothing else always gave me pause. Last summer I was lucky enough to meet with your friend, -9 -, and renew many

old Massachusetts recollections in free talk. . . . To him I spoke of the affair, candidly describing it, especially the above questionable feature of it, so far as I could, and his answer then, and more deliberately afterwards, was so hopeful, hearty and decisive, that in effect it has decided me, and I am this day writing to him that such is the poor fact, and that I need further instructions on it so soon as you two have taken counsel together. To say more about the infinitesimally small value of the books would be superfluous. Nay, in truth, many or most of them are not without intrinsic value; one or two are even excellent as books; and all of them it may perhaps be said, have a kind of symbolic or biographic value, and testify (a thing not useless) on what slender commissariat stores considerable campaigns - twelve years or so long- may be carried on in this world. Perhaps you already knew of me, what the Cromwell and Friedrich collection might itself intimate, that much buying of books was never a habit of mine,- far the reverse even to this day. Well, my friend, you will have a meeting with and let me know what is next to be done." . . . My reply to Mr. Carlyle was delayed for several weeks; but on the same day on which his letter to me was written, Mr. Carlyle wrote to - a letter to which he replied immediately, and on the 4th January, 1870, Mr. Carlyle sends me 's letter, and himself writes: "Mr. hints [about making the college the recipient, etc.] are such a complete instruction that I see my way straight through the business, and might, by note of bequest and memorandum for the Barings, finish it in half an hour. ... I have now got two catalogues made out, approximately correct, one to be here till the bequest be executed; the other I thought of sending you against the day. Approximately correct; absolutely I cannot get it to be. But I need not doubt the pious purpose will be piously and even

's

sacredly fulfilled, and your catalogue will be a kind of evidence that it is."

me.

Immediately on the receipt of these letters, I wrote to Mr. Carlyle expressing my hearty satisfaction in the thus unlooked-for beneficence to the country and the college, and declared my readiness to communicate his decision to the President and Corporation as soon as he should authorize On the 24th of February, 1870, Mr. Carlyle writes: "Your copy of the catalogue which accompanies by book post to-day, is the correctest I could manage to get done. All the books mentioned in it I believe to be now here, and, indeed, except five or six tiny articles, have seen them all, in one or other of the three rooms, where my books now stand, and where I believe the insignificant trifle of tinies to be; . . . and if any more tinies, which I do not remember, should turn up (which I hardly think there will), those also will class themselves as Cromwelliana or Friedrichiana, and be faithfully sent on with the others. . . . So soon as I hear from you that Harvard accepts my poor widow's mite of a bequest, I will proceed to put it down in due form, and so finish this small matter which for long years has hovered in my thoughts as a thing I should like to do."

The catalogue enclosed carefully enumerates the authors, translators, or editors of the books, and, in some instances, adds a distinct opinion from Mr. Carlyle on the literary value of the book. There appear to be in all about three hundred and twenty-five volumes.

I believe, Mr. President, that the corporation will be gratified by the good will to our people herein signified by this eminent man and writer, who could hardly have chosen a more significant mode of conveying his sympathy and hope for the virtue, the intellect, and the culture of America. I am, with great respect, yours, R. W. EMERSON.

The list thus sent is indorsed "Catalogue, Harvard, for R. W. Emerson, when his ansr comes. 3d or 4th editn; not yet quite correct, nor capable of being made so in prest circs! T. C. 16 Dec. 1869." The Friedrich books are much the larger part. When the books are received a list will be printed, with Carlyle's comments as found in the list or in the books.

The following extract is from the will of THOMAS CARLYLE. The will contains no other public bequest.

[Copy.]

"I Thomas Carlyle, of 5 Great Cheyne Row, Chelsea, in the County of Middlesex, Esquire, declare this to be my last Will and Testament, Revoking all former Wills.

"Having with good reason, ever since my first appearance in Literature, a variety of kind feelings, obligations and regards towards New England, and indeed long before that a hearty good will, real and steady, which still continues, to America at large, and recognizing with gratitude how much of friendliness, of actually credible human love, I have had from that Country, and what immensities of

worth and capability I believe and partly know to be lodged, especially in the silent classes there, I have now after due consultation as to the feasibilities, the excusabilities of it, decided to fulfil a fond notion that has been hovering in my mind these many years; and I do therefore hereby bequeath the books (whatever of them I could not borrow, but had to buy and gather; that is, in general whatever of them are still here) which I used in writing on Cromwell and Friedrich, and which shall be accurately searched for and parted from my other books, to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, City of Cambridge, State of Massachusetts, as a poor testimony of my respect for that alma mater of so many of my Trans-Atlantic friends, and a token of the feelings above indicated towards the Great Country of which Harvard is the Chief School. In which sense I have reason to be confident that the Harvard authorities will please to accept this, my little bequest, and deal with it, and order and use it, as to their own good judgment and kind fidelity shall seem fittest. A certain symbolical value the bequest may have, but of intrinsic value as a collection of old books it can pretend to very little. If there should be doubt as to any books coming within the category of this bequest, my dear Brother John, if left behind me as I always trust and hope, who already knows about this Harvard matter, and who possesses a Catalogue or List drawn up by me, of which the counterpart is in possession of the Harvard authorities, will see it for me in all points accurately done. In regard to this, and to all else in these final directions of mine, I wish him to be regarded as my second self, my surviving self."

"In witness whereof I the said Thomas Carlyle the Testator have to this my last Will and Testament set my hand this sixth day of February one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three. T. CARLYLE."

Upon the receipt by the authorities of the University of the foregoing extract from the will, Professor NORTON, with whom, being in London, the testator had conferred at the time of writing that document, sent to the Library another interesting memorial of Cromwell and Carlyle, accompanied by the following letter and memorandum :

"CAMBRIDGE, March 24, 1881. "DEAR MR. WINSOR, I send to you herewith, and through you present to the President and Fellows of Harvard College, for the Library, a cast taken from the mask of Cromwell's face, made after his death, which was given to me in 1873 by Mr. Carlyle. The mask was then, and, I suppose, is now in the possession of Mr. Woolner, the eminent sculptor; and I send with the cast a memorandum concerning the history and character of the mask drawn up by Mr. Woolner at Carlyle's request, and certified to by him.

"Mr. Woolner, as Mr. Carlyle told me, had had seven casts of the face taken from the mask; one of these he had given to Oxford, one to Cambridge, one to the British Museum, a fourth (the present one) to Mr. Carlyle.

"Mr. Woolner in his memorandum points out the difference between this cast and the common casts obtainable in the statuaries' shops.

"Mr. Carlyle spoke of it as doubtless much the most faithful image of Cromwell's face now extant, far to be preferred to the common cast, in which all finer points of likeness had become obliterated. He set great value on it, but he could part with it, for it would not be long that he could look at it, and he had one of the common casts which John Sterling had given him many years ago, and was dear to him

"In his 'Letters and Speeches of Cromwell' (London, 1850, vol. iii., p. 311), Carlyle describing Cromwell's aspect says Massive stature; big massive head, of somewhat leonine aspect," evident workshop and storehouse of a vast treasury of natural parts." Wart above the right eyebrow; nose of considerable blunt-aquiline proportions; strict yet copious lips, full of all tremulous sensibilities, and also if need were, of all fiercenesses and rigors; deep loving eyes, call them grave, call them stern, looking from under those craggy brows, as if in lifelong sorrow, and yet not thinking it sorrow, thinking it only labor and endeavor on the whole a right noble lion-face and heroface; and to me royal enough.'

"The cast is in an old cigar-box, packed with papers by Carlyle's hand.

"I give it now to the Library that it may be preserved with those books relating to Cromwell which Mr. Carlyle has bequeathed to Harvard College with such memorable and affecting words. "I am, very truly yours,

"CHARLES ELIOT NORTON. "JUSTIN WINSOR, Esq., Librarian, Harvard College." Mr. Woolner's paper is as follows:

"From the original cast of Oliver's face, taken after death, now (1870) in the possession of Mr. Woolner, sculptor.

"It was presented by the Royal Society to Mr. Shipley, afterwards bishop of St. Asaph, who married a sister of Dr. James Miller's great-grandfather; and at Dr. Miller's death Mr. Garbanati of Glasshouse Street bought it at the sale of his effects in June, 1853.

"This cast differs from those usually sold in plastermen's shops. The width of brow is 5% inches; the common cast is 5% inches. The height is 9% inches; the common cast is 94 inches, being exactly of an inch less in width and % less in height.

"There are various cuts, indentations, and inequalities on the forehead, brow, cheeks, and nose. The cuts are done with a chisel by an unskilful hand in knocking the waste mould off the cast; the indentations are caused by the plaster-of-Paris having been improperly mixed and making air-bubbles; the inequalities are where the mould was broken in taking it from the face itself, and, in consequence either of imperfection in the material used, or of clumsiness in the caster, the joints have not fitted well together.

"In the common cast all these imperfections have been handsomely remedied; for not only has every cut, indentation, and inequality been carefully filled up and made smooth, but even the wart on the right brow, which is but just visible in the original, has been made a most emphatic and prominent feature.

"Every time a cast or mould is made in plaster-of-Paris swells to the thickness of a sheet of letter paper or of a visiting card, and the intelligent reader has only to calculate how many of these will make a % of an inch, to judge how many times the common mask has been remoulded and recast, and what effect these processes must have had upon the features."

This is indorsed as follows:

"Autograph of THOMAS WOOLNER (29 Welbeck Str. London): recd by me at Chelsea this morning, 26 May, 1870. T. CARLYLE."

The following circular has been issued, under date of March 11, 1881: "The need of a Laboratory of Physics has long been seriously felt in the University. The lack of a suitable building and of the necessary apparatus has been a great obstacle to thorough instruction and successful investigation in the physical sciences. Instruction in the known laws of gravitation, heat, light, sound, electricity, and magnetism must always be an important part of the functions of the University. New researches in this field not only enlarge the bounds of scientific knowledge, but conduce to economy of human effort and to comfort of living. The letter printed herewith, signed by members of the medical profession, points out the importance of a knowledge of physical science in the study and practice of medicine.

"A friend of the University has promised to give $100,000 for the erection of a Laboratory of Physics, and $15,000 for the purchase of the appliances which make part of the building. These gifts are made on condition that the further sum of $75,000 be obtained from other sources, to be held as a permanent fund, the interest of which shall be applied to the purchase of apparatus and to the payment of the annual expenses of the establishment. Your aid in securing this sum, and thereby placing the department of Physics on an adequate footing, is carnestly requested. Signed by Alexander Agassiz, Joseph Lovering, David Sears, Wolcott Gibbs, Francis Blake, Josiah P. Cooke, Edward C. Pickering, John Trowbridge.

"In view of the relations of physical investigations to the progress of the science of medicine, we regard the need of an endowment for a Laboratory of Physics at Harvard University as urgent. In modern physiological investigations a knowledge of physical science and a command of physical instruments and methods have become essential, and in medical diagnosis physical instruments are a chief reliance. A Laboratory of Physics for the training of students who intend to enter the Medical School is much to be desired; and a laboratory for original investigation would afford the means of advancing the knowledge of laws which underlie the science of medicine.

principal sum of $5,000 to my residuary legatees hereinafter named.

Third. I give and bequeath to VASSAR COLLEGE, Poughkeepsie, the sum of $3,000, to be invested and held by it as a permanent fund, to be called the "Barringer. Scholarship Fund," the net annual income of which shall be paid to the best scholar in the graduating class of each year who shall be a daughter of a physician, or of one who was a physician in his lifetime, and who shall offer herself as a competitor for the prize. The award of such income shall be made and announced by the faculty of said college during the first term of the graduating year, and be paid in equal sums at the end of each of the terms. If there shall be no student in the graduating class who shall come within the conditions aforesaid, then the award of such income shall be made and paid in the manner above specified to such student in the class next below the graduating class who shall come within the terms of such conditions.

Fourth. All the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate, real and personal, and wheresoever the same may be situated, including the capital of the fund covered by the second clause of this will, and including also any and all bequests hereinabove made by me, which may fail or be void from want of capacity to take on the part of the legatee, or from any other cause whatsoever, 1 give, bequeath, and devise to the "President and Fellows of Harvard College," a corporation established under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, their successors and assigns forever, the same to be invested and held as a permanent fund by them to be called the "EDWARD M. BARRINGER FUND," the income thereof to be used and applied (except as directed below) according to their best judgment and discretion for the use and benefit of that department of said college known as and called the "Medical School."

And

direct that the said "President and Fellows" forever maintain from the income of said rest and residue (if the same shall be sufficient) two scholarships for students in said Medical School, the annual amount or value of such scholarships to be fixed from time to time by the said President and Fellows in their best discretion, but at not less than $300 and $200 respectively, and with such conditions as to them shall seem best, to be called respectively "Edward M. Barringer Scholarship, No. 1" and "Edward M. Barringer Scholarship, No. 2."

Fifth. I appoint DAVID CADY SMITH of Schenectady sole executor of this my last will and testament, and authorize and empower him to lease, insure, repair, sell, and convey all real estate I may own at the time of my death; and I revoke all other wills heretofore made by me. Witness my hand and seal this October 2, 1879. [Signed] EDWARD M. BARRINGER.

L.S.
