T. BARTHOLOMEW + +CAMBRIDGE +W. HEFFER & SONS LTD. +1921 + + It seems to me, the more I think of it, that the true life of anyone + is not the one they live in themselves, and of which they are + themselves conscious, but the life they live in the hearts of others. + Our bodies and brains are but the tools with which we work to make our + true life, which is not in the tool-box and tools we ignorantly + mistake for ourselves, but in the work we do with them; and this work, + if it be truly done, lives more in others than in ourselves. + +S. BUTLER, 1895. + +[THIS EDITION IS LIMITED TO 750 COPIES] + + + + +Preface + + +The Butler Collection was not all given to St. John's at once. I sent up +some pictures and some books in 1917; and at intervals I have sent more, +always keeping a list of what has gone. Now that I have no more to send +seems the proper time for a Catalogue to be issued, and it is made from +the lists which I kept, and which were in part printed in _The Eagle_, +put in order by A. T. Bartholomew and annotated by myself. I am +responsible for the notes and am the person intended when "I" and "me" +occur. Bartholomew is responsible for the classification, for verifying, +for checking, and for the bibliographical part. + +In time the collection will no doubt increase as new editions or +translations of Butler's books appear and as further books are published +referring to him. All such I intend to include in the collection; and I +hope that other Butlerians will see fit to make additions to it. + +I think that the notes give all necessary explanations; but I may perhaps +say here that many of the pictures were made before Butler contemplated +writing such a book as _Alps and Sanctuaries_. When he was preparing +that book he went to the places therein described and made on the spot +many black and white drawings for reproduction; but he found that this +method would take too long, so he made others of the black and white +drawings from oil and water-colour sketches which he had done previously, +and this is why some of the pictures are dated many years before the book +was published. + +Among the books, under _Alps and Sanctuaries_ (p. 18), is Streatfeild's +copy of that work; and under _The Way of All Flesh_ (p. 21) is his copy +of that book. Both these copies are said to have been "purchased." I +bought them from the dealer to whom Streatfeild sold them when his health +broke down and he moved from his rooms. I have no doubt that he would +have given them to me if I had asked for them, but he was not in a +condition to be troubled about business. + +St. John's College has contributed 30 pounds towards the expenses of +printing and publishing this catalogue. I offer them my most cordial +thanks for their generosity. I am also deeply indebted to them for +finding space in which to house the collection. I shrank from the +responsibility of keeping it myself. I remembered also that an +individual dies; even a family may become extinct; but St. John's +College, we hope, will enjoy as near an approach to immortality as can be +attained on this transient globe. I am sure that Butler would be pleased +if he could know that during that period this collection will be +preserved and will be accessible to all who wish to visit it. + +H. F.

The old Greek painting referred to is reproduced as the +frontispiece to _The Authoress of the Odyssey_ (1897). Mlle. V. is Mlle. +Vaillant, as to whom see _the Memoir_.

ABOUT 1858 . . . _face +p._ 52 + +This is taken from a photographic group of Butler and three friends. The +friends are omitted, as I have failed to identify them. + + + + +I. PICTURES, SKETCHES AND DRAWINGS +BY OR RELATING TO SAMUEL BUTLER + + +By his will Butler bequeathed his pictures, sketches, and studies to his +executors to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as they might think +best, the proceeds (if any) to fall into residue. They were not sold: +some were given to Shrewsbury School; some to the British Museum; one, an +unfinished sketch of the back of the house in which Keats died on the +Piazza di Spagna, Rome, to the Keats and Shelley Memorial there; many +were distributed among his friends, Alfred Cathie taking fifteen and I +taking all that were left over. Alfred lives in Canal Road, Mile End, +and, this being on the route of the German air-raids, he was anxious to +put his pictures in a place of safety. Accordingly it was arranged +between us in 1917 that I should buy them from him. When he heard that I +was giving them to St. John's, he desired that I should not buy all, +because he wished to give two of them himself to the College. +Accordingly, I bought only thirteen, and the remaining two, viz. no. 28, +Leatherhead Church, and no. 59, Chiavenna, 1887, were given to St. John's +College by Alfred. + +There are but few sketches or pictures by Butler between 1888 and 1896. +This is because his sketching was interrupted by his having to take up +photography for the preparation of _Ex Voto_. Almost before this book +was published (1888) he had plunged into _The Life and Letters of Dr. +Butler_, and in 1892 he added to his absorbing occupations the problem of +the _Odyssey_. Thus he had little leisure or energy for the labour of +painting; and this labour was always great. He could not leave his +outline until he had got it right, and there was a perpetual chase after +the changing shadows. And when he had got the outline it was so +constantly disappearing under the colour that he took to making "a +careful outline on a separate sheet of paper"; this was to be kept, after +he had traced the drawing on to the paper which was to receive the +colour, and to be referred to continually while he proceeded. When he +met with the camera lucida, which he bought in Paris, and which is among +the objects given to St. John's, he thought his difficulties were solved +and wrote to Miss Savage, 9 October, 1882: "I have got a new toy, a +camera lucida, which does all the drawing for me, and am so pleased with +it that I am wanting to use it continually." To which in 1901 he added +this note: "What a lot of time I wasted over that camera lucida, to be +sure!" It did all the drawing for him, but it distorted the perspective +so that the outlines of the many sketches which he produced with its help +were a disappointment. + +The camera lucida having failed, his hopes were next fixed upon +photography, which, by rapidly and correctly recording anything he felt a +desire to sketch, was to give him something from which he could +afterwards construct a picture. So he took an immense number of snap- +shots, of which many are at St. John's, but he never did anything with +them. Nos. 62 and 63, which were done by Sadler from Butler's +photographs, show how he would have proceeded if he had not had too many +other things to do. + +It was not until 1896, when _The Life of Dr. Butler_ appeared, that he +was able to return seriously to sketching, and by that time he was over +sixty and too old to be burdened with the paraphernalia necessary for +oils; he therefore confined himself to water-colours. + +Some of the pictures in this list were included in the list in _The +Eagle_, vol. xxxix., no. 175, March 1918, and the remainder in the +succeeding number, June 1918. In making the present catalogue I have +corrected such errors and misprints as I noticed in _The Eagle_, and I +have re-arranged and renumbered the items so as to make them run in +chronological order. I have also amplified some of the notes. I have +placed the sketches and drawings in order of date because to examine them +in that order helps the spectator to realise the progress made by Butler +in his artistic studies. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +1. Black and white outline sketch: Civita Vecchia, 1854. + +Butler went abroad with his family, his second visit to Italy, for the +winter of 1853-4. They travelled through Switzerland to Rome and Naples, +starting in August 1853, and Butler thus missed the half-year at school. +I am sorry that I have not found any more finished drawing made by him on +this occasion. + + + +DOUGLAS YEOMAN BLAKISTON + + +2. Pencil drawing: Samuel Butler, 1854. + +Reproduced in the _Memoir_, ch. iii. On the back of this drawing is the +beginning of a water-colour sketch. It was in a book with others +mentioned in the _Memoir_ as having been given to Shrewsbury School (I. +44). I have no doubt that the sketch on the back is by Butler, and +represents part of the Rectory house at Langar. + +The Rev. D. Y. Blakiston was born in 1832. He studied art at the Royal +Academy Schools especially under W. Dobson, R.A. From about 1850 to 1865 +he painted in London and at St. Leonard's, and exhibited at the Royal +Academy. About 1865 he entered at Downing College, took Orders in 1869, +and was presented to the living of East Grinstead in 1871, which he held +till his retirement soon after 1908. He died in 1914. Throughout his +life he made a practise of sketching his friends. I suppose he must have +met and sketched Butler on some occasion when Butler was in London +staying with his cousins the Worsleys. The artist's son, the Rev. H. E. +D. Blakiston, when President of Trinity College, Oxford, gave me a +cutting from _The East Grinstead Observer_ containing a full obituary of +him. It is among the papers at St. John's College, and is referred to in +the Postscript to the Preface to my _Memoir_ of Butler. + + + +HENRY FESTING JONES + + +3. My first attempt at a drawing in pencil and ink of Butler's +Homestead, Mesopotamia, New Zealand. + +I did it in 1910 or thereabouts from a faded photograph taken about 1863 +and lent to Butler by J. D. Enys. _Also_ Emery Walker's reproduction of +my first attempt which was not used in the _Memoir_. + +4. My second attempt, which was reproduced in the _Memoir_. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +5. Water-colour: A view in Cambridge. + +Probably done when Butler was an undergraduate, and given to St. John's +some years ago. I found it in the book wherein I found Blakiston's +drawing (no. 2). + +6. Oil Painting: Family Prayers. + +On the ceiling he wrote "I did this in 1864, and if I had gone on doing +things out of my own head instead of making studies I should have been +all right." (_Memoir_, I. 115.) Reproduced in the _Memoir_, ch. xxiv., +and referred to, ch. viii. + +7. Oil Painting: His own head. + +"He painted at home as well as at Heatherley's, and by way of a cheap +model hung up a looking-glass near the window of his painting room and +made many studies of his own head. He gave some of them away and +destroyed and painted over others, but after his death we found a number +in his rooms--some of the earlier ones very curious" (_Memoir_, ch. +viii.). This is one of the earlier ones. It is inscribed, "S.B., Feb. +18, 1865." We found also a still more curious one which was given to +Gogin, who was interested in it as being the work of an untaught student. +See also no. 36. + + + +JOHN LEECH + + +8. Five pencil drawings on one card. + +John Leech died in 1864, the year in which Butler returned from New +Zealand. There was a sale of his drawings by his sisters, and I remember +going to see them as a boy, but I do not remember when; it was, no doubt, +soon after the artist's death. The house was in Radnor Place, Bayswater. +His sisters afterwards kept a small girls' school, and my sister Lilian +went there. I have placed these Leech drawings here in order of date on +the assumption that Butler bought them at the sale. He had another +drawing by Leech, which used to hang in his chambers, and was given to +his cousin, Reginald Worsley. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +9. Oil Painting: Interior of Butler's sitting-room, 15, Clifford's Inn. + +There is something written in pencil on the panelling in the left-hand +bottom corner. I believe the words to be "Corner of my room, Augt. 1865, +S.B." Reproduced in the _Memoir_, ch. xv. + +Here are shown Butler's books, including Bradshaw's Guide and Whitaker's +Almanack, of which he speaks somewhere as being indispensable. I admit +that I cannot identify them, but he used to keep them among the books in +these shelves. I do not think he ever possessed that equally +indispensable book the Post Office Directory. But he had more books than +those shown in this painting. Between his sitting-room and his painting- +room was a short passage in which was a cupboard, and this contained the +rest. I do not remember how many there were, but not enough to +invalidate the statement he made to Robert Bridges (_Memoir_ II. 320), "I +have, I verily believe, the smallest library of any man in London who is +by way of being literary." + +10. Water-colour: Dieppe, The Castle, 1866. + +Butler was at Dieppe with Pauli in 1866. (_Memoir_, ch. viii.) + +11. Small water-colour drawing: Dieppe, 1866. + +This is in the portfolio of miscellaneous drawings, etc., by Butler, +Gogin, and Sadler, no. 81. + +12. Oil Painting: Two heads done as a study at Heatherley's. + +I showed this to Gaetano Meo, and he remembered that the man was +Calorossi, a model, whose brother went to Paris and became known as the +proprietor of a studio there. The woman, he said, was Maria, another +model. The background is Dieppe. I suppose that Butler did this study +in the autumn of 1866, using nos. 10 and 11, the water-colours of Dieppe, +or some other sketch made on the spot, for the background. The idea was +to make portraits of two heads with a landscape background in the manner +of Giovanni Bellini. + +13. Drawing of a cast of the Antinous as Hermes. + +Inscribed "Samuel Butler for probationership, December 28th 1868." Done, +I suppose, at South Kensington. + +14. Drawing of a hand and foot. + +Probably also done at South Kensington. + +15. Black and white drawing of a fir tree. + +This, I suspect, was made while Butler was under the influence of +Ruskin's _Elements of Drawing_--say about 1870. He threw off that +influence later. + +16. Four water-colour notes in one frame. + +One is inscribed "S.B." and another "Kingston, near Lewes." I suppose +that they are all on the South Downs, and they are all early--say 1870. + + + +JAMES FERGUSON + + +17. Crayon drawing: Butler playing Handel, 1870 (?). + +Reproduced in the _Memoir_ (I. ix.). Ferguson was a fellow art-student +with Butler. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +18. Oil Painting: The Valle di Sambucco, above Fusio. + +The sambucco or sambuco is the elder tree. Butler, writing of this +valley (_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. xxvi.; new ed. ch. xxv.), says: +"Here, even in summer, the evening air will be crisp, and the dew will +form as soon as the sun goes off; but the mountains at one end of it will +keep the last rays of the sun. It is then the valley is at its best, +especially if the goats and cattle are coming together to be milked." + +19. Water-colour: The Rocca Borromeo, Angera, Lago Maggiore. Entrance +to the Castle. 1871. + +The birthplace of S. Carlo Borromeo. It was over this gateway as well as +over the gateway of Fenis (no. 53), that he told me there ought to be a +fresco of Fortune with her Wheel (_Memoir_, ch. xx.) The Rocca Borromeo, +Angera, and Arona are mentioned in _Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. xxiv. (new +edn., ch. xxiii.), and several times in the _Memoir_, _e.g._ ch. ix., +xvi. + +20. Water-colour: The Rocca Borromeo. A Room in the Castle. 1871. + +I am not sure whether or not this is the room in which S. Carlo Borromeo +was born. One view of that room is in _Alps and Sanctuaries_ ch. xxiv. +(new edition, ch. xxiii). This may be the same room looking towards the +left and showing a piece of window-seat and shutter. + +21. Water-colour: Amsteg. 1871. + +22. Water-colour: Fobello. A Christening. 1871. + +This was to have been a picture for the Academy, but he did not finish +it. Here are shown women with short skirts and leggings. They dress +like this so that they can climb into the ash trees and pull off the +leaves which they throw down upon the grass to be mixed up with the hay. +(_Memoir_, ch. ix.) + +23. Oil Painting: Varallo-Sesia. The Washing Place. 1871. + +"Butler made three oil sketches at Varallo all the same size, about +16x20. One is the washing place outside the town." (_Diary of a +Journey_, p. 16). The other two were both done in the Piazza on the +Sacro Monte. One was given to the Municipio of Varallo-Sesia; the other +to the Avvocato Francesco Negri of Casale-Monferrato. + +24. Oil Painting: Monte Bisbino, near Como. 1876. + +_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. xxi. The white sanctuary on the summit +shines like a diamond in some lights. + +25. Oil Painting: From S. Nicolao, Mendrisio. 1876. + +_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. xxi. + + + +GEORGE McCULLOCH + + +26. Two lots of studies of women, about 1876. + +McCulloch was a friend and fellow art-student of Butler's, and is +mentioned in the _Memoir_, "an admirable draughtsman." + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +27. Oil sketch: Low wall and grass in front, snowy mountains behind. It +must be a view in the Leventina Valley. + +28. Water-colour inscribed "S.B.": Leatherhead Church. + +Butler was particularly pleased with the dormer windows, an unusual +feature in a church roof. This must have been done somewhere about 1877, +but there is no evidence. This is one of the pictures given by Alfred. + +29. Oil Painting: Montreal, Canada, from the Mountain, about 1877. + +30. Oil Painting: Calpiogna, Val Leventina. 1877. + +Evening, looking down the valley. + +31. Oil Painting: Three sketches on one panel, scenes in the Val +Leventina. + +They are near Faido, but I cannot further identify them. + +32. Oil Painting: Calonico. + +_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. v. + +33. Oil Painting: Tengia. + +_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. iv. + +34. Oil Painting: Prato. + +Other views of Prato appear in _Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. iii. + +35. Oil Painting: Lago Tom, Piora, Val Leventina. 1877. + +Ch. vi. in _Alps and Sanctuaries_ is headed "Piora." "Piora in fact is a +fine breezy upland valley of singular beauty, and with a sweet atmosphere +of cow about it." Butler thought he knew what went on in Piora and, as +he proceeds through the valley, he says: "Here I heard that there were +people, and the people were not so much asleep as the simple peasantry of +these upland valleys are expected to be by nine o'clock in the evening. +For now was the time when they had moved up from Ronco, Altanca, and +other villages in some numbers to cut the hay, and were living for a +fortnight or three weeks in the chalets upon the Lago di Cadagna. As I +have said, there is a chapel, but I doubt whether it is attended during +this season with the regularity with which the parish churches of Ronco, +Altanca, etc., are attended during the rest of the year. The young +people, I am sure, like these annual visits to the high places, and will +be hardly weaned from them. Happily the hay will always be there, and +will have to be cut by someone, and the old people will send the young +ones." + +The foregoing passage throws light upon that other passage in _Life and +Habit_, ch. ii., about S. Paul, which concludes thus: "But the true +grace, with her groves and high places, and troops of young men and +maidens crowned with flowers, and singing of love and youth and wine--the +true grace he drove out into the wilderness--high up, it may be, into +Piora, and into such-like places. Happy they who harboured her in her +ill report." + +After Ernest has received Alethea's money, and while he and Edward +Overton are returning from Christina's funeral, in ch. lxxxiv. of _The +Way of All Flesh_, he tells his godfather his plans for spending the next +year or two. He has formed a general impression that the most vigorous +and amiable of known nations--the modern Italians, the old Greeks and +Romans, and the South Sea Islanders--have not been purists. He wants to +find out what such people do; they are the practical authorities on the +question--What is best for man? + +"Let us," he says, "settle the fact first and fight about the moral +tendencies afterwards." + +"In fact," said I laughingly, "you mean to have high old times." + +"Neither higher nor lower," was the answer, "than those people whom I can +find to have been the best in all ages." + +Accordingly Ernest left England and visited "almost all parts of the +world, but only staying in those places where he found the inhabitants +unusually good-looking and agreeable." "At last in the spring of 1867 he +returned, his luggage stained with the variation of each hotel +advertisement 'twixt here and Japan. He looked very brown and strong, +and so well-favoured that it almost seemed as if he must have caught some +good looks from the people among whom he had been staying." + +We are not told what particular countries Ernest went to; Japan is +mentioned, but less because Ernest went there than because the name of a +distant place was wanted to justify and complete the echo of the +description of Sir Walter Blunt in I. _Hen. IV._ i. 64: + + Stained with the variation of each soil + Betwixt that Holmedon and this seat of ours. + +Butler confided to me verbally that Ernest visited, among other places, +Piora, and that he stayed there "when the mowing grass was about." {8} + +36. Oil Painting: inscribed, "S. Butler. Sketch of his own head. April +1878." + +This is one of the series of portraits of himself referred to in the note +to no. 7. Another of these later portraits was given after his death to +Christchurch, New Zealand; and another to the Schools, Shrewsbury. This +one was given by Butler to me soon after it was painted, and it remained +in my possession till 1911, when I gave it to St. John's College. It is +reproduced as the frontispiece to vol. I. of the _Memoir_. + +37. Oil Sketch: Calonico. + +_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. v. On a panel with no. 38, Rossura, on the +other side. + +38. Oil Sketch: Rossura. The altar by the porch of the church. 1878. + +On a panel with no. 37, Calonico, on the other side. + +39. Oil sketch on a panel: Rossura, from inside the porch looking out. + +"I know few things more touching in their way than the porch of Rossura +church." (_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. iv.) + +"The church is built on a slope, and the porch, whose entrance is on a +lower level than that of the floor of the church, contains a flight of +steps leading up to the church door. The porch is there to shelter the +steps, on and around which the people congregate and gossip before and +after service, especially in bad weather. They also sometimes overflow +picturesquely, and kneel praying on the steps while service is going on +inside." (_Memoir_, I. 284-5.) + +In _Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. iv., is an illustration showing the people +kneeling on the steps while "there came a sound of music through the open +door--the people lifting up their voices and singing, as near as I can +remember, something which on the piano would come thus:" and then follow +a few bars of chords. + +In the list which appeared in _The Eagle_, vol. xxxix., no. 175, March +1918, writing of no. 38: "Rossura: the altar by the porch of the church, +1878," I said that it had been removed. On reconsideration, I am not +sure that it has been removed; but I have not been to Rossura for thirty +years or more and cannot now say for certain. I believe, however, that +it is still there, and that when I said it had been removed I was +thinking of the alteration of an opening which there was formerly in the +west wall of the porch, under the portrait of S. Carlo Borromeo, which +hangs between the two windows. This opening is mentioned in ch. iv. of +_Alps and Sanctuaries_, and Butler says that it had to be closed because +the wind blew through it and made the church too cold. It is shown with +the portrait and the two windows in another illustration in ch. iv. + +The first illustration in ch. iv. of _Alps and Sanctuaries_ shows how the +chapel with the altar in it (no. 38) is placed in relation to the porch. +This is the chapel he was thinking of when he wrote: + + "The church has been a good deal restored during the last few years, + and an interesting old chapel--with an altar in it--at which Mass was + said during a time of plague, while the people stood some way off in a + meadow, has just been entirely renovated; but, as with some English + churches, the more closely a piece of old work is copied, the more + palpably does the modern spirit show through it, so here the opposite + occurs, for the old-worldliness of the place has not been impaired by + much renovation, though the intention has been to make everything as + modern as possible." + +In 1878, the first time I was with Butler in Italy and in the Canton +Ticino, he talked a great deal about the porch of Rossura; there is a +passage in ch. xvi. of the _Memoir_ about it. For him it was the work of +a man who did it because he sincerely wanted to do it, and who learnt how +to do by doing; it was not the work of one who first attended lectures by +a professor in an academy, learnt the usual tricks in an art school, and +then, not wanting to do, gloried in the display of his technical skill. +That is to say, it was done in the right spirit. The result of doing +things in this way will sometimes appear incompetent; this never +embarrassed Butler, provided that he could detect the sincerity; for +where sincerity is incompetence may be forgiven; but the incompetence +must not be so great as to obscure the artist's meaning. At Rossura the +sincerity is obvious, and the building is so perfect an adaptation of the +means to the end that there is no suggestion of incompetence. + +Rossura porch was thus an illustration of what he says in _Alps and +Sanctuaries_ in the chapter "Considerations on the Decline of Italian +Art." It was more than merely a piece of architecture. When Butler +contemplated it he saw also the chapel with its altar and the people +standing in the meadow during the plague; he saw the same people, after +the pestilence had been stayed, kneeling on the steps in the dimness, the +sky bright through the arch beyond them and the distant mountains blue +and snowy, while the music floated out through the open church door; he +saw through the windows the gleaming slopes about Cornone and Dalpe, and, +hanging on the wall between them, the picture of austere old S. Carlo +with his hands joined in prayer. All these things could be written about +in _Alps and Sanctuaries_, but they could not be brought into the +illustrations apart from the text; and anyone who looks at Butler's +sketches of Rossura may be disappointed. If he does not bear these +things in mind he will not understand what Butler meant by saying that he +knew of few things more touching in their way than the porch of Rossura +church. He will be like a man listening to programme-music and knowing +nothing of the programme. + +40. Pencil sketch inscribed: "Handel when a boy. Pencil sketch from an +old picture sold at Puttick and Simpson's and sketched by me while on +view. Dec. 15th, 1879. S.B." + +On the same mount with the sketch-portrait of Robert Doncaster, no. 56. + +41. Water-colour: Otford, Kent; from inside the church looking out +through the porch. 1879. + +42. Drawing in pencil and ink: Edgeware. 1880. + +43. Oil Painting: Rimella, Val Mastallone; up the Valley from Varallo- +Sesia. + +44. Oil Painting: Eynsford, Kent. + +45. Oil Painting: On the S. Bernardino Pass. + +46. Oil Painting: Bellinzona, The Castle. + +In the same frame with no. 47. + +47. Oil Painting: Mesocco, The Castle. + +_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. xix. Butler always had this and no. 46 in +the same frame. + +48. Oil Painting: Bellinzona, The Castle. + +He made many sketches of the Castle at Bellinzona, this and no. 46 are +the only two I have found; none was quite satisfactory because there was +no point of view from which the towers composed well behind a good +foreground. + +49. Drawing in pencil and ink: The Sacro Monte, Varese, from the seventh +or Flagellation Chapel. + +He intended to paint a picture this size, and started by making this +drawing, which is an enlargement of the drawing reproduced in _Alps and +Sanctuaries_, ch. xxiii. (1881), but he did not proceed with the +painting. + +50. Drawing in pencil and ink: Boulogne-sur-Mer, La Porte Gayole. + +This was a favourite view which he often sketched; but I have only found +this example. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER AND OTHERS + + +51. All (except a few which are lost) the original drawings for _Alps +and Sanctuaries_. + +Placed here in order of date because the book was published in 1881. Some +of the drawings are by Charles Gogin, who did the frontispiece and the +Madonna della Neve on the title page, and who also introduced the figures +into those of Butler's drawings which have figures; and a few are by me. +There are among this lot also several sketches, etc., by various persons +which Butler collected as illustrating his "Considerations on the Decline +of Italian Art." Some are published in the chapter so headed in the +book, but others were not published. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +52. Oil Painting: Portrait of Henry Festing Jones. 1882. + +53. Oil Painting: Castello Fenis, Val d'Aosta. 1882. + +It was over one of the gateways of this Castle that Fortune with her +Wheel was to appear in a fresco. See no. 19. + + + +HENRY FESTING JONES + + +54. Oil Painting: View from Butler's room in Clifford's Inn showing the +tower of the Law Courts. 1882. + +Drawn with the camera lucida. Reproduced in the _Memoir_, ch. xx. + +55. Oil Painting: Unfinished sketch-portrait of Butler. 1882 + +Drawn with the camera lucida. Referred to in the _Memoir_, I. 135-136, +in letters from which extracts are given below. + +_Miss Savage to Butler_. + + 31_st_ _October_, 1883: I went to the Fisheries Exhibition last week + and spent a rather pleasant day. I was by myself for one thing, and, + for another, took great delight in gazing at a life-size model of a + sea-captain clad in yellow oil-skins and a Sou'wester. It was + executed in that style of art that you so greatly admire in the + Italian Churches, and was so good a likeness of _you_ that I think you + must have sat for it. The serious occupations of my day were having + dinner and tea, and the relaxations, buying shrimps in the fish-market + and then giving them to the sea-gulls and cormorants. My most exalted + pleasure was to look at your effigy, which I should like to be able to + buy, though, as I have not a private chapel in my castle, I hardly + know where I could put it if I had it. Upon the whole I enjoyed + myself, but I am glad to hear that the Exhibition is to be closed to- + day, so that I cannot by any possibility go there again. + +_Butler to Miss Savage_. + + 5_th_ _November_, 1883: I believe I am very like a sea-captain. Jones + began a likeness of me not long since, which I will show you next time + you come and see me, which is also very like a portrait of a + sea-captain. + +56. Sketch-portrait of Robert Doncaster. + +On the same mount with no. 40. A tracing is among the miscellaneous +papers given to St. John's. This sketch of Robert was done, I suspect, +with the camera lucida, and if so its date must be about 1882-3. Robert +Doncaster was the husband of Mrs. Corrie; that is to say Mrs. Corrie, who +was Butler's laundress in Clifford's Inn, "lost" her husband. After a +suitable interval it was assumed that he was dead and she married Robert +Doncaster and was known as Mrs. Doncaster. Robert, who was a half-witted +old man, used to hang about the place, do odd jobs, and make himself +fairly useful. He died in 1886. + +57. Water-colour: Pinner. 1883. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +58. Oil Painting: Edward James Jones. + +Inscribed thus: "Portrait of E. J. Jones, Esq., of the Indian Geological +Survey, Aet. Suae 24, painted by S. Butler, November, 1883." The date is +not clearly written, but it must be 1883, because my brother Edward, born +5th September, 1859, was twenty-four in 1883, and in November 1883 he +went to Calcutta, having obtained an appointment on the Geological +Survey. Butler painted the portrait just before he started. + +59. Oil Painting: Chiavenna. 1887. + +It looks in some lights like 1881, but in other lights 1887, and it must +be 1887. Butler did not go abroad in 1881 and he was at Chiavenna in +1887. This is one of the pictures given by Alfred. + + + +THOMAS SADLER + + +60. Black and white drawing: Butler and Scotto in 1888. + +Sadler made this for the _Pall Mall Gazette_ from the photograph which is +reproduced in _Ex Voto_; the drawing was reproduced in an article, and a +cutting from the _Pall Mall_ with the reproduction is with the papers +given to St. John's. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +61. Oil Painting: Wembley, Middlesex. Sketch of the back of the Green +Man public-house, since burnt down. + +Butler intended to finish this, and send it to the Royal Academy, but he +got tired of it and turned it up. + + + +THOMAS SADLER + + +62. Water-colour drawing of the Vecchietto in the Deposition Chapel at +Varallo-Sesia. + +63. Water-colour drawing in black and white of a boy with a basket at +Varallo. + +Sadler made these two drawings about 1890 from photographs taken by +Butler in 1888. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +64. Water-colour: copy of a landscape behind a small Madonna and Child +by Bartolomeo Veneto, signed and dated 1505. + +I forget the precise date, but I think it was about 1898, when Butler was +searching in real landscape for the original of the castle which appears +in the background of one of the Giovanni Bellini pictures of the Madonna +and Child in the National Gallery, the one with the bird on the tree and +the man ploughing. It may now be attributed to some other Venetian +painter. He would have been pleased if he could have found the original +of the background of any picture by one of his favourite painters. This +copy was made to fix in his mind the castle on the hill, which he hoped +afterwards to identify with some real place. But he never succeeded. + + + +HENRY FESTING JONES + + +65. Water-colour: Jones's chambers in Staple Inn, Holborn. 1899. + +66. Water-colour: another view in the same room. 1899. + +In these rooms Butler nearly always spent his evenings from 1893, when I +moved into them, until the end of his life. The frames of these pictures +are veneered with oak from the Hall of Staple Inn, and into each are +inserted two buttons showing the wool-pack, the badge of the Inn, which +is said to be named from the Wool-Staplers. + +When Butler and I were on the Rigi-Scheidegg with Hans Faesch in 1900 I +had these two sketches with me, and was showing them to the landlord, who +spoke English. He looked at them and considered them carefully for some +moments. Then he said gravely "Ah I see; much things. That means +dustings; and then breakings; and then hangriness." + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER + + +67. Water-colour: Meien near Wassen on the S. Gottardo. 1896. + +We went often to Meien to sketch when we were staying at Wassen on the S. +Gottardo. We took our lunch with us, and ate it at the fountain in the +village. "The old priest also came to the fountain to wash his shutters, +which had been taken down for the summer, and it was now time to bring +them out again and replace them for the winter" (_Memoir_, II. 236). The +house on the left is the priest's house, and the shutters are already up +at one of his windows. + +68. Pen and ink sketch: Trapani and the Islands from Mount Eryx about +1897. + +This sketch is reproduced in _The Authoress of the Odyssey_, ch. ix. He +did it to show the situation of Trapani and the Islands with Marettimo +"all highest up in the sea." In the Odyssey Ithaca is "all highest up in +the sea," and Butler supposed that the authoress in so describing it was +thinking of Marettimo. + +69. Wash drawing: Trapani and the Islands from Mount Eryx about 1898. + +He wished to make a more complete version of no. 68, but this was as far +as he could get; there was not enough time and there were too many +interruptions. + +70. Pencil sketch inscribed, "Calatafimi, Sund. May 13th, 1900. 2 +hours. Eleven a.m. is the best light." + +I added "S. Butler." He could not continue because there came on a +terrific scirocco which lasted two or three days. + +71. Water-colour: Taormina, the Theatre and Etna. 1900. + +This shows the fragments of the stones that are strewn about in the +orchestra which Butler said were like the fragments of My Duty towards My +Neighbour that lay strewn about in his memory. It would take a lot of +work to put them all back into their places and reconstruct the original. +(_Memoir_, II. 292.) + +72. Water-colour: Siena. 1900. + +73. Water-colour: Pisa, inside the top of the Leaning Tower. 1900. + +74. Water-colour: Wassen. 1901. + +75. Water-colour: Wassen. 1901. + +76. Water-colour: Trapani, S. Liberale and Lo Scoglio di Mal Consiglio. +1901. + +See _The Authoress of the Odyssey_. The Scoglio is the ship of Ulysses +which Neptune turned into a rock as she was on her way home to Scheria. + +77. Rough sketch by Butler of the islands Marettimo, Levanzo, and +Favignana. + +Two views showing how Marettimo is hidden by Levanzo when you are below +and comes out over Levanzo when you are up Mount Eryx. + + + +HENRY FESTING JONES + + +78. My first attempt in colour to draw the islands from Mount Eryx. + +I saw I should not have time to finish it, and, instead, did no. 80. + +79. A volume of thirty-four leaves of drawings in pencil and ink. + +I did all these under Butler's auspices, and often he was sitting near +doing another sketch of much the same view. It may be said that they are +the work of his pupil. + +80. Drawing in pencil and ink: Trapani and the Islands from Mount Eryx. +1913. + +Reproduced in the _Memoir_, ch. xxxii. + + + +SAMUEL BUTLER AND OTHERS + + +81. A portfolio of miscellaneous drawings, prints, etchings, +photographs, etc., by Butler, Gogin, and Sadler. + +This is the portfolio containing the small water-colour of Dieppe, 1866. +I have given that the prominence of a place (no. 11) because it is +interesting to compare it with the more finished Dieppe, no. 10. Possibly +the portfolio contains others (_e.g._ Dinant), which it will be thought +proper to take out and have mounted and framed. + + + + +II.

Miss Butler showed it to me at Shrewsbury in June or +July, 1902, and I copied it. + +MS. copies of "The New Scriptures," according to Darwin, Tyndall, Huxley +and Spencer. + +The first twenty-four verses of this appeared in an American paper (the +_Index_, if I remember right) many years ago.

EFFECTS +FORMERLY THE PERSONAL PROPERTY OF SAMUEL BUTLER + + +One mahogany table with two flaps. + +Butler used this table for his meals, for his writing, and for all +purposes to which a table can be put. A corner of it covered with a red +cloth is seen in the picture of the interior of his room. See p. 4, no. +9. + +Sandwich case. + +This he took with him on his Sunday walks and sketching excursions. + +Passport. + +Pocket magnifying glass. + +Address book. + +Homeopathic medicine case. + +He always took this with him on his travels. + +Two account books, 1897-1900 and 1900-1902. + +Butler destroyed his early account books when he made the Skeleton Diary +of his life which is in Vol. III. of his MS. Note-Books. After his death +the remaining account books were destroyed except these two. + +Books in which Butler used to keep his accounts by double entry. The +handwriting during the early years is Butler's, afterwards it is +Alfred's. Journal, 1895-1902; Cash Book, 1881-1899; Cash Book, +1899-1902; Union Bank Book, 1881-1902; Ledger. + +A set of books containing accounts for his published works. + +Two of the small note-books which after April 1882 Butler always carried +in his pocket and in which he made the notes afterwards copied into his +full-size MS. Note-Books. + +Before 1882 he used some other kind of pocket note-book. The first one +he had of this kind was sent to him by Miss Savage in a letter of 18th +April, 1882, from which the following is an extract; the words in square +brackets are a note by Butler on Miss Savage's letter. + + "I send you a little present; the leaves tear out, so that when you + leave your note-book at the "Food of Health" [I don't remember ever + going to the "Food of Health." I do not know the place. S. B.] or + elsewhere, as you sometimes have done, you will not lose so much, and + then you can put the torn leaves into one of the little drawers in + your cabinet which is just made for such documents." (_Memoir_, I. + 373.) + +The cabinet she refers to was one of the two Japanese cabinets, the next +items, which he had bought at Neighbour's grocery and tea-shop in Oxford +Street, and which she had seen in his rooms. He used to keep stamps in +them. + +One small Japanese cabinet. + +One larger Japanese cabinet. + +Two pen trays. + +One camera lucida with table (see the _Memoir_). + +One round wood-carving: a female bust. + +Two large dishes, German or Swiss, which stood on his table. + +One tin case holding pencils and brushes for water-colour sketching. + +One tin water-bottle for sketching. One sketching camp-stool. One +sketching portfolio. One water-colour paint-box. + +One sloping desk. + +"I shoud explain that I cannot write unless I have a sloping desk." See +"Quis desiderio--" (_The Humour of Homer_). This is the sloping desk on +which he wrote in Clifford's Inn. + +One pair of chamois horns given him by Dionigi Negri at Varallo Sesia. + +One handle and webbing in which he carried his books to and from the +British Museum. + +A photograph showing one wall of Butler's chambers in Clifford's Inn with +the fireplace and accompanying sketch plan. + +Some of the pictures mentioned in Section I. of this Catalogue can be +identified, and also the following nine items, which are on the +mantelpiece or on the wall. The two dolls (no. 9) were destroyed by +Butler about 1898; the other eight objects are included in this +collection at St. John's. + +One pair of pewter candlesticks (1). + +One bust of Handel (2). + +One plate, which he called "Three Acres and a Cow," because it seems to +be decorated in illustration of that catch-word (3). + +Two crockery holy water holders; only one is shown in the photograph (4). + +Three medallions under glass, representing, in some kind of plaster, the +Madonna di Oropa (5). + +Three crockery examples of "the Virgin with Child" (6). + +One only is shown in the photo. One of these is from Oropa where the +Virgin and Child are both black, see "A Medieval Girl-School" in _The +Humour of Homer_. These holy water holders and Madonnas are some of the +cheap religious knick-knacks which are sold at most Italian Sanctuaries. +We often brought back a few and gave them away to Gogin, Alfred, Clark, +and other friends. + +Bag for pennies (7). + +Miss Savage's kettle-holder (8). + +In Oct. 1884 (see the _Memoir_), about four months before her death, Miss +Savage sent Butler a present of a pair of socks which she had knitted +herself, and she promised to make him some more. Butler gratefully +accepted her gift, but + + "As for doing me any more, I flatly forbid it. I believe you don't + like my books, and want to make me say I won't give you any more if + you make me any more socks; and then you will make me some more in + order not to get the books. No, I will let you read my stupid books + in manuscript and help me that way. If you like to make me a kettle- + holder, you may, for I only have one just now, and I like to have two + because I always mislay one; but I won't have people working their + fingers out to knit me stockings." + +_Miss Savage to Butler_, 27_th_ _Oct._ 1884: "Here is a kettle-holder. +And I can only say that a man who is equal to the control of two kettle- +holders fills me with awe, and I shall begin to be afraid of you. . . . +The kettle-holder is very clumsy and ugly, but please to remember that I +am not a many-sided genius, and to expect me to excel in kettle-holders +_and_ stockings is unreasonable. I take credit to myself, however, for +affixing a fetter to it, so that you may chain it up if it is too much +disposed to wander. My expectation is that it is too thick for you to +grasp the kettle with, and the kettle will slip out of your hand and +scald you frightfully. I shall be sorry for you but you would have it, +so upon your own head be it." + +_Butler to Miss Savage_, 28_th_ _Oct._ 1884: "The kettle-holder is +beautiful; it is like a filleted sole, and I am very fond of filleted +sole. It is not at all too thick, and fits my kettle to perfection." + +The subject is developed antiphonally between Miss Savage and Butler +throughout several letters, and near the close comes this note made by +Butler when "editing his remains" at the end of his life: + +"I need hardly say that the kettle-holder hangs by its fetter on the wall +beside my fire, and is not allowed to be used by anyone but myself. S.B. +January 21st, 1902." + +Two small Dutch dolls (9) + +Mr. Charles Archer Cook was at Trinity Hall with me. He is mentioned in +the _Memoir_ as having edited _The Athenaeum_ in October, 1885, during +the absence of MacColl, the editor. Butler and I sometimes dined with +him and met his brother, Mr. (afterwards Sir) Edward T. Cook and his +wife. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Cook came to tea with Butler, and Alfred was +showing them round the sitting room, while Butler was in his painting +room, where he had gone to look for something. + +"These are the pictures which the governor does when he is away," said +Alfred, "and these are the photographs which he brings back with him and +the plates and images." + +"And please, Alfred, what are these two little dolls among the pictures?" + +"Oh, those, ma'am! Those are ---." + +"Alfred!" exclaimed the reproving voice of Butler, who although in the +next room, had overheard. + +"Well, Sir," replied Alfred, "that's what we always call them." + +Alfred was referring to a recent divorce case in which the names of two +ladies had been brought prominently before the public, but Butler did not +approve of the names being blurted out in the presence of visitors. + +A brass bowl which my brother Edward brought from India. + +It always stood on my table in Staple Inn, and Butler used it as an ash- +tray and played with it and liked the sound it made when he struck it. He +also liked its shape, and was pleased with it for not being "spoilt by +any silly ornament." It is mentioned in the _Memoir_ (II. xliii.) when +Miss Butler comes to my rooms after Butler's death. + +A leather (or sham leather) cigarette case from Palermo (but, I am +afraid, made in Germany). + +It contains a fragment of a Greek vase picked up on Mount Eryx and given +to Butler by Bruno Flury. He was one of the young men who came about him +in 1892 when he broke his foot on the mountain; he afterwards settled in +Pisa, where I saw him in 1901. + +Two of the blue and white wine cups mentioned in _Alps and Sanctuaries_ +(ch. xxii.; new ed., ch. xxiii.), "A Day at the Cantine." + +"These little cups are common crockery, but at the bottom there is +written Viva Bacco, Viva l'Italia, Viva la Gioia, Viva Venere or other +such matter; they are to be had in every crockery shop throughout the +Mendrisiotto, and they are very pretty." + +The Viva is not written in full; it is represented by a double V, which +overlaps, so that it looks like W, but the letter W is not used by the +Italians, so there is no chance of its being mistaken by them for +anything but the symbol meaning Viva. + +A small horn and tortoiseshell snuff-box from Palermo. + +It contains three coins wrapped in paper and a piece of the pilgrim's +cross at Varello-Sesia. The cross is mentioned somewhere in Butler's +books as being of very hard wood, so hard that the pilgrims have great +difficulty in cutting pieces off it. So had I in cutting off this bit. + +The day after Butler's death Alfred came to me with the coins and said: + +"I took these out of his pockets, Sir; I thought you ought to have them." + +Butler's watch and chain. + +Butler used to possess his grandfather's gold watch and chain. He was +robbed of the watch in Hyde Park one night just before starting on one of +his journeys to Canada; he then bought this silver watch at Benson's, +and, if I remember right, wore it with the gold chain. He was robbed of +the chain in Fetter Lane, Oct. 1893 (_Memoir_, II. 167). He then bought +a silver chain, which, with the silver watch, passed under his will to +Alfred. Alfred wore them until 1919, when the watch was declared by an +expert to be beyond repair.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: +http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + http://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + |
