Mr. Chaundy has a number of first editions of Disraeli's novels for sale. The very scarce _Contarini Fleming_ (1832) is priced at £6; _The Voyage of Captain Popanilla_ (1828) at 35_s._; _Vivian Grey_ (1826) at 21_s._; _Venetia_ (1837) at 20_s._ A first edition of Borrow's _Wild Wales_, in three volumes (1862), is offered by Messrs. Heffer, of Cambridge, for £9 _9s._ It is almost worth paying that for the sake of the description, at the beginning of the book, of the negro who sat on the walls of Chester, spitting into the void. You can have George Eliot for a good deal less. Mr. James Miles, of Leeds, has a _Silas Marner_ (first edition, 1861) for 25_s._ First editions of Robert Bridges are, we notice, priced a good deal higher than the later firsts of Robert Browning. _Eros and Psyche_ costs 15_s._ at Messrs. Heffer's, and _Prince Hohenstiel-Schwangan_ only 5_s._ The four volumes of the first edition of _The Ring and the Book_ (1868) cost one 32_s._ at the same bookseller's. Similarly Conrad firsts are more precious than Bennetts, if we may judge from the fact that _Hilda Lessways_ (1911) costs 7_s._ at Mr. Chaundy's shop, while _Chance_ and _Victory_ (novels of Mr. Conrad's corresponding period), at Messrs. Heffer's, are priced at 12_s._ and 9_s._ respectively, and the precious _Almayer's Folly_ of 1895 costs £3 3_s._ * * * * * Mr. P. J. Dobell has already done good work in the field of bibliography. The catalogue published by him last year, under the title, _The Literature of the Restoration_, was a useful guide for all students of the period. He has now issued a supplementary catalogue of works connected with the Popish Plot.
