THE SAMUEL BUTLER COLLECTIONAT SAINT JOHN'S COLLEGE CAMBRIDGE

A Catalogue and a Commentary

BYHENRY FESTING JONESANDA. T. BARTHOLOMEW

CAMBRIDGEW. 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 upsome 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 sendseems the proper time for a Catalogue to be issued, and it is made fromthe 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 amresponsible 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 ortranslations of Butler's books appear and as further books are publishedreferring to him. All such I intend to include in the collection; and Ihope that other Butlerians will see fit to make additions to it. 

I think that the notes give all necessary explanations; but I may perhapssay here that many of the pictures were made before Butler contemplatedwriting such a book as _Alps and Sanctuaries_. When he was preparingthat book he went to the places therein described and made on the spotmany black and white drawings for reproduction; but he found that thismethod would take too long, so he made others of the black and whitedrawings 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 bookwas published. 

Among the books, under _Alps and Sanctuaries_ (p. 18), is Streatfeild'scopy of that work; and under _The Way of All Flesh_ (p. 21) is his copyof that book. Both these copies are said to have been "purchased. " Ibought them from the dealer to whom Streatfeild sold them when his healthbroke down and he moved from his rooms. I have no doubt that he wouldhave given them to me if I had asked for them, but he was not in acondition to be troubled about business. 

St. John's College has contributed 30 pounds towards the expenses ofprinting and publishing this catalogue. I offer them my most cordialthanks for their generosity. I am also deeply indebted to them forfinding space in which to house the collection. I shrank from theresponsibility of keeping it myself. I remembered also that anindividual dies; even a family may become extinct; but St. John'sCollege, we hope, will enjoy as near an approach to immortality as can beattained on this transient globe. I am sure that Butler would be pleasedif he could know that during that period this collection will bepreserved and will be accessible to all who wish to visit it.

SAMUEL BUTLER. ABOUT 1866 . . . _Frontispiece_

From a photograph taken by his sister, Mrs. Bridges, in the garden atLangar soon after his return from New Zealand. 

FACSIMILE OF POST-CARD FROM S. BUTLER TO H. F. JONES, FLORENCE, SEPT. 3, 1892 . . . _face p. _ 23

Butler was staying in Florence on his way home from his first visit toSicily. The old Greek painting referred to is reproduced as thefrontispiece to _The Authoress of the Odyssey_ (1897). Mlle. V. Is Mlle. Vaillant, as to whom see _the Memoir_. The "nose" belonged to the editorof a Swiss paper whom I had met at Fusio. 

SAMUEL BUTLER WHEN AN UNDERGRADUATE AT CAMBRIDGE. ABOUT 1858 . . . _facep. _ 52

This is taken from a photographic group of Butler and three friends. Thefriends are omitted, as I have failed to identify them. 

I. PICTURES, SKETCHES AND DRAWINGSBY OR RELATING TO SAMUEL BUTLER

By his will Butler bequeathed his pictures, sketches, and studies to hisexecutors to be destroyed or otherwise disposed of as they might thinkbest, the proceeds (if any) to fall into residue. They were not sold:some were given to Shrewsbury School; some to the British Museum; one, anunfinished sketch of the back of the house in which Keats died on thePiazza di Spagna, Rome, to the Keats and Shelley Memorial there; manywere distributed among his friends, Alfred Cathie taking fifteen and Itaking 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 toput his pictures in a place of safety. Accordingly it was arrangedbetween us in 1917 that I should buy them from him. When he heard that Iwas 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'sCollege 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 upphotography for the preparation of _Ex Voto_. Almost before this bookwas published (1888) he had plunged into _The Life and Letters of Dr. Butler_, and in 1892 he added to his absorbing occupations the problem ofthe _Odyssey_. Thus he had little leisure or energy for the labour ofpainting; and this labour was always great. He could not leave hisoutline until he had got it right, and there was a perpetual chase afterthe changing shadows. And when he had got the outline it was soconstantly disappearing under the colour that he took to making "acareful outline on a separate sheet of paper"; this was to be kept, afterhe had traced the drawing on to the paper which was to receive thecolour, and to be referred to continually while he proceeded. When hemet with the camera lucida, which he bought in Paris, and which is amongthe objects given to St. John's, he thought his difficulties were solvedand wrote to Miss Savage, 9 October, 1882: "I have got a new toy, acamera lucida, which does all the drawing for me, and am so pleased withit that I am wanting to use it continually. " To which in 1901 he addedthis note: "What a lot of time I wasted over that camera lucida, to besure!" It did all the drawing for him, but it distorted the perspectiveso that the outlines of the many sketches which he produced with its helpwere a disappointment. 

The camera lucida having failed, his hopes were next fixed uponphotography, which, by rapidly and correctly recording anything he felt adesire to sketch, was to give him something from which he couldafterwards 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 withthem. Nos. 62 and 63, which were done by Sadler from Butler'sphotographs, show how he would have proceeded if he had not had too manyother things to do. 

It was not until 1896, when _The Life of Dr. Butler_ appeared, that hewas able to return seriously to sketching, and by that time he was oversixty and too old to be burdened with the paraphernalia necessary foroils; he therefore confined himself to water-colours. 

Some of the pictures in this list were included in the list in _TheEagle_, vol. Xxxix. , no. 175, March 1918, and the remainder in thesucceeding number, June 1918. In making the present catalogue I havecorrected such errors and misprints as I noticed in _The Eagle_, and Ihave re-arranged and renumbered the items so as to make them run inchronological order. I have also amplified some of the notes. I haveplaced the sketches and drawings in order of date because to examine themin that order helps the spectator to realise the progress made by Butlerin 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 thewinter 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 onthis occasion. 

DOUGLAS YEOMAN BLAKISTON

2. Pencil drawing: Samuel Butler, 1854. 

Reproduced in the _Memoir_, ch. Iii. On the back of this drawing is thebeginning of a water-colour sketch. It was in a book with othersmentioned 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, andrepresents part of the Rectory house at Langar. 

The Rev. D. Y. Blakiston was born in 1832. He studied art at the RoyalAcademy Schools especially under W. Dobson, R. A. From about 1850 to 1865he painted in London and at St. Leonard's, and exhibited at the RoyalAcademy. About 1865 he entered at Downing College, took Orders in 1869, and was presented to the living of East Grinstead in 1871, which he heldtill his retirement soon after 1908. He died in 1914. Throughout hislife he made a practise of sketching his friends. I suppose he must havemet and sketched Butler on some occasion when Butler was in Londonstaying with his cousins the Worsleys. The artist's son, the Rev. H. E. D. Blakiston, when President of Trinity College, Oxford, gave me acutting from _The East Grinstead Observer_ containing a full obituary ofhim. It is among the papers at St. John's College, and is referred to inthe 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'sHomestead, Mesopotamia, New Zealand. 

I did it in 1910 or thereabouts from a faded photograph taken about 1863and lent to Butler by J. D. Enys. _Also_ Emery Walker's reproduction ofmy 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'ssome years ago. I found it in the book wherein I found Blakiston'sdrawing (no. 2). 

6. Oil Painting: Family Prayers. 

On the ceiling he wrote "I did this in 1864, and if I had gone on doingthings out of my own head instead of making studies I should have beenall 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 cheapmodel hung up a looking-glass near the window of his painting room andmade many studies of his own head. He gave some of them away anddestroyed and painted over others, but after his death we found a numberin 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 toGogin, 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 NewZealand. There was a sale of his drawings by his sisters, and I remembergoing 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 Lilianwent there. I have placed these Leech drawings here in order of date onthe assumption that Butler bought them at the sale. He had anotherdrawing by Leech, which used to hang in his chambers, and was given tohis 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-handbottom 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'sAlmanack, of which he speaks somewhere as being indispensable. I admitthat I cannot identify them, but he used to keep them among the books inthese shelves. I do not think he ever possessed that equallyindispensable book the Post Office Directory. But he had more books thanthose shown in this painting. Between his sitting-room and his painting-room was a short passage in which was a cupboard, and this contained therest. I do not remember how many there were, but not enough toinvalidate the statement he made to Robert Bridges (_Memoir_ II. 320), "Ihave, I verily believe, the smallest library of any man in London who isby 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 wasCalorossi, a model, whose brother went to Paris and became known as theproprietor of a studio there. The woman, he said, was Maria, anothermodel. The background is Dieppe. I suppose that Butler did this studyin 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 wasto make portraits of two heads with a landscape background in the mannerof 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 ofRuskin's _Elements of Drawing_--say about 1870. He threw off thatinfluence later. 

16. Four water-colour notes in one frame. 

One is inscribed "S. B. " and another "Kingston, near Lewes. " I supposethat 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-studentwith Butler. 

SAMUEL BUTLER

18. Oil Painting: The Valle di Sambucco, above Fusio. 

The sambucco or sambuco is the elder tree. Butler, writing of thisvalley (_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. Xxvi. ; new ed. Ch. Xxv. ), says:"Here, even in summer, the evening air will be crisp, and the dew willform as soon as the sun goes off; but the mountains at one end of it willkeep 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. Entranceto the Castle. 1871. 

The birthplace of S. Carlo Borromeo. It was over this gateway as well asover the gateway of Fenis (no. 53), that he told me there ought to be afresco of Fortune with her Wheel (_Memoir_, ch. Xx. ) The Rocca Borromeo, Angera, and Arona are mentioned in _Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. Xxiv. (newedn. , 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 Borromeowas 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 theleft 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 finishit. Here are shown women with short skirts and leggings. They dresslike this so that they can climb into the ash trees and pull off theleaves 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, about16x20. One is the washing place outside the town. " (_Diary of aJourney_, p. 16). The other two were both done in the Piazza on theSacro Monte. One was given to the Municipio of Varallo-Sesia; the otherto 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 summitshines 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 ismentioned in the _Memoir_, "an admirable draughtsman. "

SAMUEL BUTLER

27. Oil sketch: Low wall and grass in front, snowy mountains behind. Itmust be a view in the Leventina Valley. 

28. Water-colour inscribed "S. B. ": Leatherhead Church. 

Butler was particularly pleased with the dormer windows, an unusualfeature 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 ValLeventina. 

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 afine breezy upland valley of singular beauty, and with a sweet atmosphereof cow about it. " Butler thought he knew what went on in Piora and, ashe proceeds through the valley, he says: "Here I heard that there werepeople, and the people were not so much asleep as the simple peasantry ofthese 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, andother villages in some numbers to cut the hay, and were living for afortnight or three weeks in the chalets upon the Lago di Cadagna. As Ihave said, there is a chapel, but I doubt whether it is attended duringthis season with the regularity with which the parish churches of Ronco, Altanca, etc. , are attended during the rest of the year. The youngpeople, I am sure, like these annual visits to the high places, and willbe hardly weaned from them. Happily the hay will always be there, andwill have to be cut by someone, and the old people will send the youngones. "

The foregoing passage throws light upon that other passage in _Life andHabit_, ch. Ii. , about S. Paul, which concludes thus: "But the truegrace, with her groves and high places, and troops of young men andmaidens crowned with flowers, and singing of love and youth and wine--thetrue grace he drove out into the wilderness--high up, it may be, intoPiora, and into such-like places. Happy they who harboured her in herill report. "

After Ernest has received Alethea's money, and while he and EdwardOverton are returning from Christina's funeral, in ch. Lxxxiv. Of _TheWay of All Flesh_, he tells his godfather his plans for spending the nextyear or two. He has formed a general impression that the most vigorousand amiable of known nations--the modern Italians, the old Greeks andRomans, and the South Sea Islanders--have not been purists. He wants tofind out what such people do; they are the practical authorities on thequestion--What is best for man?

"Let us, " he says, "settle the fact first and fight about the moraltendencies 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 canfind to have been the best in all ages. "

Accordingly Ernest left England and visited "almost all parts of theworld, but only staying in those places where he found the inhabitantsunusually good-looking and agreeable. " "At last in the spring of 1867 hereturned, his luggage stained with the variation of each hoteladvertisement 'twixt here and Japan. He looked very brown and strong, and so well-favoured that it almost seemed as if he must have caught somegood looks from the people among whom he had been staying. "

We are not told what particular countries Ernest went to; Japan ismentioned, but less because Ernest went there than because the name of adistant place was wanted to justify and complete the echo of thedescription 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. April1878. "

This is one of the series of portraits of himself referred to in the noteto no. 7. Another of these later portraits was given after his death toChristchurch, New Zealand; and another to the Schools, Shrewsbury. Thisone was given by Butler to me soon after it was painted, and it remainedin my possession till 1911, when I gave it to St. John's College. It isreproduced 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 theother 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 Rossurachurch. " (_Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. Iv. )

"The church is built on a slope, and the porch, whose entrance is on alower level than that of the floor of the church, contains a flight ofsteps leading up to the church door. The porch is there to shelter thesteps, on and around which the people congregate and gossip before andafter service, especially in bad weather. They also sometimes overflowpicturesquely, and kneel praying on the steps while service is going oninside. " (_Memoir_, I. 284-5. )

In _Alps and Sanctuaries_, ch. Iv. , is an illustration showing the peoplekneeling on the steps while "there came a sound of music through the opendoor--the people lifting up their voices and singing, as near as I canremember, something which on the piano would come thus:" and then followa few bars of chords. 

In the list which appeared in _The Eagle_, vol. Xxxix. , no. 175, March1918, 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 notsure that it has been removed; but I have not been to Rossura for thirtyyears or more and cannot now say for certain. I believe, however, thatit is still there, and that when I said it had been removed I wasthinking of the alteration of an opening which there was formerly in thewest wall of the porch, under the portrait of S. Carlo Borromeo, whichhangs between the two windows. This opening is mentioned in ch. Iv. Of_Alps and Sanctuaries_, and Butler says that it had to be closed becausethe wind blew through it and made the church too cold. It is shown withthe portrait and the two windows in another illustration in ch. Iv. 

The first illustration in ch. Iv. Of _Alps and Sanctuaries_ shows how thechapel 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 CantonTicino, he talked a great deal about the porch of Rossura; there is apassage in ch. Xvi. Of the _Memoir_ about it. For him it was the work ofa man who did it because he sincerely wanted to do it, and who learnt howto do by doing; it was not the work of one who first attended lectures bya professor in an academy, learnt the usual tricks in an art school, andthen, 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 doingthings in this way will sometimes appear incompetent; this neverembarrassed Butler, provided that he could detect the sincerity; forwhere sincerity is incompetence may be forgiven; but the incompetencemust not be so great as to obscure the artist's meaning. At Rossura thesincerity is obvious, and the building is so perfect an adaptation of themeans to the end that there is no suggestion of incompetence. 

Rossura porch was thus an illustration of what he says in _Alps andSanctuaries_ in the chapter "Considerations on the Decline of ItalianArt. " It was more than merely a piece of architecture. When Butlercontemplated it he saw also the chapel with its altar and the peoplestanding in the meadow during the plague; he saw the same people, afterthe pestilence had been stayed, kneeling on the steps in the dimness, thesky bright through the arch beyond them and the distant mountains blueand snowy, while the music floated out through the open church door; hesaw through the windows the gleaming slopes about Cornone and Dalpe, and, hanging on the wall between them, the picture of austere old S. Carlowith his hands joined in prayer. All these things could be written aboutin _Alps and Sanctuaries_, but they could not be brought into theillustrations apart from the text; and anyone who looks at Butler'ssketches of Rossura may be disappointed. If he does not bear thesethings in mind he will not understand what Butler meant by saying that heknew of few things more touching in their way than the porch of Rossurachurch. He will be like a man listening to programme-music and knowingnothing of the programme. 

40. Pencil sketch inscribed: "Handel when a boy. Pencil sketch from anold picture sold at Puttick and Simpson's and sketched by me while onview. 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 outthrough 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 inthe same frame. 

48. Oil Painting: Bellinzona, The Castle. 

He made many sketches of the Castle at Bellinzona, this and no. 46 arethe only two I have found; none was quite satisfactory because there wasno point of view from which the towers composed well behind a goodforeground. 

49. Drawing in pencil and ink: The Sacro Monte, Varese, from the seventhor Flagellation Chapel. 

He intended to paint a picture this size, and started by making thisdrawing, which is an enlargement of the drawing reproduced in _Alps andSanctuaries_, ch. Xxiii. (1881), but he did not proceed with thepainting. 

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 foundthis example. 

SAMUEL BUTLER AND OTHERS

51. All (except a few which are lost) the original drawings for _Alpsand Sanctuaries_. 

Placed here in order of date because the book was published in 1881. Someof the drawings are by Charles Gogin, who did the frontispiece and theMadonna della Neve on the title page, and who also introduced the figuresinto 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 personswhich Butler collected as illustrating his "Considerations on the Declineof Italian Art. " Some are published in the chapter so headed in thebook, but others were not published.

HENRY FESTING JONES

54. Oil Painting: View from Butler's room in Clifford's Inn showing thetower 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 miscellaneouspapers 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. RobertDoncaster was the husband of Mrs. Corrie; that is to say Mrs. Corrie, whowas Butler's laundress in Clifford's Inn, "lost" her husband. After asuitable interval it was assumed that he was dead and she married RobertDoncaster and was known as Mrs. Doncaster. Robert, who was a half-wittedold man, used to hang about the place, do odd jobs, and make himselffairly 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 GeologicalSurvey, Aet. Suae 24, painted by S. Butler, November, 1883. " The date isnot clearly written, but it must be 1883, because my brother Edward, born5th September, 1859, was twenty-four in 1883, and in November 1883 hewent to Calcutta, having obtained an appointment on the GeologicalSurvey. 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 mustbe 1887. Butler did not go abroad in 1881 and he was at Chiavenna in1887. 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 isreproduced in _Ex Voto_; the drawing was reproduced in an article, and acutting from the _Pall Mall_ with the reproduction is with the papersgiven to St. John's. 

SAMUEL BUTLER

61. Oil Painting: Wembley, Middlesex. Sketch of the back of the GreenMan public-house, since burnt down. 

Butler intended to finish this, and send it to the Royal Academy, but hegot tired of it and turned it up. 

THOMAS SADLER

62. Water-colour drawing of the Vecchietto in the Deposition Chapel atVarallo-Sesia. 

63. Water-colour drawing in black and white of a boy with a basket atVarallo. 

Sadler made these two drawings about 1890 from photographs taken byButler in 1888. 

SAMUEL BUTLER

64. Water-colour: copy of a landscape behind a small Madonna and Childby Bartolomeo Veneto, signed and dated 1505. 

I forget the precise date, but I think it was about 1898, when Butler wassearching in real landscape for the original of the castle which appearsin the background of one of the Giovanni Bellini pictures of the Madonnaand Child in the National Gallery, the one with the bird on the tree andthe man ploughing. It may now be attributed to some other Venetianpainter. He would have been pleased if he could have found the originalof the background of any picture by one of his favourite painters. Thiscopy was made to fix in his mind the castle on the hill, which he hopedafterwards 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 Imoved into them, until the end of his life. The frames of these picturesare veneered with oak from the Hall of Staple Inn, and into each areinserted two buttons showing the wool-pack, the badge of the Inn, whichis said to be named from the Wool-Staplers. 

When Butler and I were on the Rigi-Scheidegg with Hans Faesch in 1900 Ihad these two sketches with me, and was showing them to the landlord, whospoke English. He looked at them and considered them carefully for somemoments. Then he said gravely "Ah I see; much things. That meansdustings; 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 thevillage. "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 bringthem out again and replace them for the winter" (_Memoir_, II. 236). Thehouse on the left is the priest's house, and the shutters are already upat one of his windows. 

68. Pen and ink sketch: Trapani and the Islands from Mount Eryx about1897. 

This sketch is reproduced in _The Authoress of the Odyssey_, ch. Ix. Hedid 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 inthe sea, " and Butler supposed that the authoress in so describing it wasthinking 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 faras he could get; there was not enough time and there were too manyinterruptions. 

70. Pencil sketch inscribed, "Calatafimi, Sund. May 13th, 1900. 2hours. Eleven a. M. Is the best light. "

I added "S. Butler. " He could not continue because there came on aterrific 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 theorchestra which Butler said were like the fragments of My Duty towards MyNeighbour that lay strewn about in his memory. It would take a lot ofwork 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 Ulysseswhich Neptune turned into a rock as she was on her way home to Scheria. 

77. Rough sketch by Butler of the islands Marettimo, Levanzo, andFavignana. 

Two views showing how Marettimo is hidden by Levanzo when you are belowand 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 neardoing another sketch of much the same view. It may be said that they arethe 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 isinteresting to compare it with the more finished Dieppe, no. 10. Possiblythe portfolio contains others (_e. G. _ Dinant), which it will be thoughtproper to take out and have mounted and framed.

VIII. MISCELLANEOUS PAPERSFORMERLY THE PROPERTY OF OR RELATING TO SAMUEL BUTLER

Thomas Harris, of Shrewsbury. 

Butler when a boy was amused by the advertisement put up over his shop bythis man, who was a baker. He copied or invented the two picturesshowing Harris (1) making bride cakes, (2) making funeral cakes, andcomposed the music. Miss Butler showed it to me at Shrewsbury in June orJuly, 1902, and I copied it. 

MS. Copies of "The New Scriptures, " according to Darwin, Tyndall, Huxleyand Spencer. 

The first twenty-four verses of this appeared in an American paper (the_Index_, if I remember right) many years ago. They were given to me byHerbert Phipson; I showed them to Butler; he copied them and composedverses 25 to 33. 

Testimonials by Eyre Crowe, A. R. A. ; G. K. Fortescue; R. Garnett, LL. D. ;A. C. Gow, A. R. A. ; T. Heatherley; the Rev. B. H. Kennedy, D. D. ; HenryStacy Marks, R. A. ; and W. T. Marriott, M. P. , submitted by Butler in 1886when a Candidate for the Slade Professorship of Fine Art at Cambridge. 

Two numbers of the Parish Magazine of St. Augustine's, Kilburn, Mar. 1887and April 1887. 

Between pp. 80 and 81 of the March number are unsuitable advertisementsof Pears' Soap involving the Bishop Q of Wangaloo and Lillie Langtry. Their appearance drew from the Editor, pp. 97 and 112 of the Aprilnumber, an expression of regret, distress, and surprise, and a statementthat precautions had been taken against any occurrence of a similarnature in future. If I remember right Miss Savage sent these to Butlerand they are referred to in their correspondence, but perhaps not in anyof the letters included in the _Memoir_. 

Review of "Luck or Cunning?" written by George Bernard Shaw, whichappeared in the _Pall Mall Gazette_, 31st May, 1887. 

This was given to me by Dan Rider, who told me that Bernard Shaw'soriginal review, which he wrote off his own bat, was very much morelaudatory and much longer, but the Editor of the _Pall Mall Gazette_ cutit down in length and took out some of the praise because he was afraidof offending the Darwins and their friends.

XI. EFFECTSFORMERLY THE PERSONAL PROPERTY OF SAMUEL BUTLER

One mahogany table with two flaps. 

Butler used this table for his meals, for his writing, and for allpurposes to which a table can be put. A corner of it covered with a redcloth 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 Diaryof his life which is in Vol. III. Of his MS. Note-Books. After his deaththe remaining account books were destroyed except these two. 

Books in which Butler used to keep his accounts by double entry. Thehandwriting during the early years is Butler's, afterwards it isAlfred'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 carriedin his pocket and in which he made the notes afterwards copied into hisfull-size MS. Note-Books. 

Before 1882 he used some other kind of pocket note-book. The first onehe had of this kind was sent to him by Miss Savage in a letter of 18thApril, 1882, from which the following is an extract; the words in squarebrackets 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 nextitems, which he had bought at Neighbour's grocery and tea-shop in OxfordStreet, and which she had seen in his rooms. He used to keep stamps inthem. 

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. Onesketching 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 onwhich 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 theBritish Museum. 

A photograph showing one wall of Butler's chambers in Clifford's Inn withthe fireplace and accompanying sketch plan. 

Some of the pictures mentioned in Section I. Of this Catalogue can beidentified, and also the following nine items, which are on themantelpiece or on the wall. The two dolls (no. 9) were destroyed byButler about 1898; the other eight objects are included in thiscollection 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 tobe 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, theMadonna 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 theVirgin and Child are both black, see "A Medieval Girl-School" in _TheHumour of Homer_. These holy water holders and Madonnas are some of thecheap 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, MissSavage sent Butler a present of a pair of socks which she had knittedherself, and she promised to make him some more. Butler gratefullyaccepted 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 Iam not a many-sided genius, and to expect me to excel in kettle-holders_and_ stockings is unreasonable. I take credit to myself, however, foraffixing a fetter to it, so that you may chain it up if it is too muchdisposed to wander. My expectation is that it is too thick for you tograsp the kettle with, and the kettle will slip out of your hand andscald 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 isbeautiful; it is like a filleted sole, and I am very fond of filletedsole. It is not at all too thick, and fits my kettle to perfection. "

The subject is developed antiphonally between Miss Savage and Butlerthroughout several letters, and near the close comes this note made byButler when "editing his remains" at the end of his life:

"I need hardly say that the kettle-holder hangs by its fetter on the wallbeside 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 inthe _Memoir_ as having edited _The Athenaeum_ in October, 1885, duringthe absence of MacColl, the editor. Butler and I sometimes dined withhim and met his brother, Mr. (afterwards Sir) Edward T. Cook and hiswife. Mr. And Mrs. E. T. Cook came to tea with Butler, and Alfred wasshowing them round the sitting room, while Butler was in his paintingroom, where he had gone to look for something. 

"These are the pictures which the governor does when he is away, " saidAlfred, "and these are the photographs which he brings back with him andthe 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 thenext 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 twoladies had been brought prominently before the public, but Butler did notapprove 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. Healso liked its shape, and was pleased with it for not being "spoilt byany silly ornament. " It is mentioned in the _Memoir_ (II. Xliii. ) whenMiss Butler comes to my rooms after Butler's death. 

A leather (or sham leather) cigarette case from Palermo (but, I amafraid, made in Germany). 

It contains a fragment of a Greek vase picked up on Mount Eryx and givento Butler by Bruno Flury. He was one of the young men who came about himin 1892 when he broke his foot on the mountain; he afterwards settled inPisa, 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 iswritten Viva Bacco, Viva l'Italia, Viva la Gioia, Viva Venere or othersuch matter; they are to be had in every crockery shop throughout theMendrisiotto, and they are very pretty. "

The Viva is not written in full; it is represented by a double V, whichoverlaps, so that it looks like W, but the letter W is not used by theItalians, so there is no chance of its being mistaken by them foranything 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'scross at Varello-Sesia. The cross is mentioned somewhere in Butler'sbooks as being of very hard wood, so hard that the pilgrims have greatdifficulty 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 wasrobbed of the watch in Hyde Park one night just before starting on one ofhis 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 ofthe chain in Fetter Lane, Oct. 1893 (_Memoir_, II. 167). He then boughta silver chain, which, with the silver watch, passed under his will toAlfred. Alfred wore them until 1919, when the watch was declared by anexpert to be beyond repair. I took it from him, giving him in exchangethe watch of my brother Charlie, who had recently died. 

The matchbox which Alfred gave to Butler. 

When Alfred knew that I was handing Butler's watch and chain on to St. John's College, he said:

"And then, Sir, they had better have this matchbox which I gave him. "

I looked at it and said, "Well, but Alfred, how can that be? It is dated1894, and he gave your matchbox to the Turk in 1895. "

"I know he did, Sir; and when he told me I was very angry and went outinto Holborn and bought this one and had it engraved same as the other. "

"With the old date?"

"Yes, Sir, just the same as the one he gave to the Turk. " See the _Note-Books_, p. 286.
