133. CARICATURES RELATING TO THE CATHOLIC QUESTION. A Collection of Sixty-four Caricatures IN COLORS, by "H. B." (Thomas Doyle), "Paul Pry" (William Heath), ROBERT CRUIKSHANK, and others. Each neatly inlaid in large folio sheets of toned paper, with MS. title in pen-and-ink. Large folio, contemporary half morocco, lettered on both back and side. Lond. 1829

UNIQUE COLLECTION of these fine caricatures, published by McLean and others. It was evidently made by some contem

porary enthusiast, who supported the Crown, as the caricatures are all anti-Catholic. George the Fourth and his opposition to the question of the day, the Catholic Emancipation Bill, was the originator of these clever specimens of their kind, which portray with great freedom many of the prominent characters of the day, among them being George the Fourth, the Duke of Wellington and many others.

Not the least interesting is A VERY RARE CARICATURE OF GRIMALDI, the famous clown, entitled "Series of Sketches of the principal performers in the Strand new Pantomime, called The Pope's Eye, or Tricks and Changes." Grimaldi is saying "I know I'm a little changed-but they whant (sic) to halter me entirely."

In Volume I is pasted a franked envelope, addressed by Carlyle, written December, 1854. Carlyle's autograph, T. C., is in the lower left hand corner of the envelope. It is addressed: “T. O. Ward (?) Esq., Engineer's Office, East and West India Docks." An inscription at the top of the envelope reads: "Sent to me thus, having (I suppose) forgotten my name. Received December 12, 1854. H. T. W." This addressed envelope is entirely characteristic of Carlyle. A good copy of the scarce First edition of Carlyle's masterpiece, which, in the original boards, is very scarce.
