TH Rare Books, Autographs and Prints HE New York Herald is authority for the estimate that $350,000,000 has been spent in Europe by Americans during the last thirteen years for works of art and literary rarities that have been brought to this country. The Jefferson Memorial Foundation announced an agreement with Jefferson Levy for the purchase of Monticello, the Virginia home of Thomas Jefferson. The foundation will immediately press its efforts to raise $500,000 for the purchase and another $500,000 for the endowment of the memorial. Lord Curzon, England's Foreign Secretary, is one of the latest mourners to give way to his grief over England's loss of literary treasures. He charges that the sales of rare books, paintings, etchings and antiques bought by Americans during the first six months of this year amounted to $3,716,644. In making comparison of the price brought by the Carysfort copy of the Gutenberg Bible, $43,500, with that sold in the Hoe sale in 1911, it should be remembered that there were two copies, one on vellum which brought $50,000, another on paper, like the Carysfort copy, which sold for $27,000. If this fact is borne in mind, the Carysfort copy shows a substantial increase over any previous record. "The Early Life, Correspondence, and Writings of the Right Honorable Edmund Burke, LL.D.," by A. P..I. Samuels, which the Cambridge University Press has in preparation, includes a transcript of the minute book of the debating club founded by Burke at Trinity College, Dublin, and other documents at the Record Office, Dublin, which were destroyed in July, 1922. The author gives a picture of undergraduate life in Trinity College in Burke's day, based upon an investigation of the records in the Muniment Room at Trinity College and on Burke's early correspondence. Rare books, illuminated and other manuscripts, and some very important autograph letters, selections from several consignments, will be sold at Sotheby's in London, July 25th and 26th. This sale will include a fine collection of books from the press of the Elzevirs, productions of the early Italian presses and a number printed on vellum of the greatest rarity, important association and other bindings pricipally Italian of the sixteenth century, tracts by or relating to Martin Luther, letters relating to the American Revolutionary War and others of importance. The illuminated manuscripts include an Italian missal of 1480 and a fourteenth century manuscript relating to the Guild of the Holy Trinity at Coventry. The American autograph letters include those of Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, William Penn, George Washington and others of importance. Frederick Fairchild Sherman contributes an interesting illustrated article on "Some American Bookbinders Before 1850" to the July number of Antiques. Mr. Sherman declares that "in the seventeenth, eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, bookbinding as a fine art flourished more or less in every large city and town in this country. As with other arts and crafts, inadequate means of communication and transportation encouraged, where it did not actually necessitate, the development of local talent. Hence the local printer, publisher, or bookseller generally maintained a bindery in connection with his major enterprise, where often skilled craftsmen turned out creditable bindings, handsomely tooled and lettered in gold. . . . Of ninety or more booksellers in Boston prior to the Revolution, over thirty had binderies also attached to their establishments, and a number of these confined their attention almost exclusively to fine work." Plans for the purchase and restoration of the house at Prince and Lafayette Streets, in this city, in which James Monroe died, for a Pan-American Museum in memory of the promulgator of the Monroe Doctrine have been fully set forth by the Monroe Memorial Association and Foundation. A fund of approximately $300,000 will be sought-$250,000 to purchase the property and about $50,000 to restore it to its original state. President Harding is among the honorary members of the Foundation. Governor Smith is honorary president and Mayor Hylan is honorary vicepresident. Robert Lansing, former Secretary of State, is president. The effort to preserve the house is being made, according to statements of the association, as part of the proper observance of the one hundredth anniversary of the promulgation of the Monroe Doctrine. The purpose is to make it a Pan-American shrine, to stand thru the centuries as a memorial to unselfish international amity and a fitting monument to the memory of our great good-will President.-F.
