Austen had been employed on it, since it is undoubtedly
one that deserves to be illustrated’ (p. vii).

Notes. ‘Advertisement’, pp. [i]–iv,
notes: ‘Since the present work has been in the
press, one, if not two novels, bearing titles
similar to that of “Marston” have appeared; but,
were there no other evidence, the difference of
the story would at once prove that there has been
no “conveying” in the case. Competition then need
hardly be disclaimed; and it would have been madness,
indeed, for a novice to enter the lists with a
writer at once so elegant and profound as the
author of “Darnley.” ’ The author is presumably
referring here to G. P. R. James’s The
Life and Adventures of John Marston Hall (1834:
39). The present novel has been attributed to
Rosalia St. Clair (see e.g. BLPC, NSTC), but wrongly
so; and indeed such a prefatory statement from
the prolific hand of this pseudonymous writer
would be disingenuous in the extreme. MC (9 Feb
1835) gives as ‘By Madame de St. Claire, née Rumbold’,
and it could be that the attribition to Rosalia
St. Clair stems from this; however, the attribution
to ‘Madame de St. Claire’ can only remain tentative
at present, as there is no substantiating evidence
for this ascription elsewhere. The ABu copy is
in blue paper wrappers, apparently original. Main
narrative describes English characters in a European
setting, with some passages of French and Italian.

and although prejudice be clothed in the sacred
vesture of antiquity, and sanctioned by general
use, I deem it no sacrilege to strip and expose
her when truth is the object: I have therefore
been tempted to brave the odium populi,
and to violate the rites of usage, having been
long impressed with a sense of the advantages
likely to result from a series of well-digested
reflections upon the data furnished in the exercise
of my professional duties: and some years have
now passed since many of the observations, contained
in the following sheets, were first comitted to
paper—having laid them aside, on being anticipated
in my design by the appearance of the “Extracts
from the Diary of a Physician;” [i.e. 1832: 86]
nor is it likely that I would ever again have
resumed my intention of laying them before the
Public, if my friends had not flattered me into
a belief that my performance has still sufficient
claims to originality, to entitle me to expect
a share of public indulgence’ (pp. viii–ix).

Prefatory notice, pp. [vii]–xiii, with same
date, states: ‘I began this tale two years ago
at Rome. On removing to Naples, I threw it aside
for “The Last Days of Pompeii,” which required
more than “Rienzi” the advantage of residence
within reach of the scenes described. The fate
of the Roman Tribune continued, however, to haunt
and impress me, and, sometime after “Pompeii”
was published, I renewed my earlier undertaking.
I regarded the completion of these volumes, indeed,
as a kind of duty;—for having had occasion to
read the original authorities from which modern
historians have drawn their accounts of the life
of Rienzi, I was led to believe that a very remarkable
man had been superficially judged, and a very
important period crudely examined. And this belief
was sufficiently strong to induce me at first
to mediate a more serious work upon the life and
times of Rienzi. Various reasons concurred against
their project—and I renounced the Biography to
commence the Fiction. I have still, however, adhered
with a greater fidelity than is customary in Romance,
to all the leading events of the public life of
the Roman Tribune; and the Reader will perhaps
find in these pages a more full and detailed account
of the rise and fall of Rienzi, than in any English
work of which I am aware. […] If I may use the
word Epic in its most modest and unassuming acceptation,
this Fiction, in short, though indulging in dramatic
situation, belongs, as a whole, rather to the
Epic than the Dramatic school’ (pp. [vii]–ix).

‘A Few Words Prefatory’, pp. [vii]–viii,
precede narrative proper, signed ‘Timotheus Scribewell.
London, April 13th, 1835’. This states: ‘To those,
among my present readers, who labour under the
misfortune of not having perused the first Romance
of Chivalry which appeared under my name, it will
be necessary to state briefly, that the following
tale, like its predecessor, is altered from some
ancient M.SS. left by a certain monk, whose name
was, Bernadus Fulchartliensis.’ A notice precedes
t.p. of vol. 1 announcing: ‘Lately Published in
2 vols. price 21s. The Pilgrim Brothers. A Tale
of the Barons’ Wars.’ Printer’s marks and colophons
of Schulze and Co., 13, Poland Street. ‘The Pilgrim

them may be deemed, will be found in the works
of sage and reverend chroniclers of yore, growing
side by side with long acknowledged truths, and
might be supported by learned and improving references
in the margin’ (pp. x–xi). List of contents

there, ‘Flirtation Extraordinary’, which reads:
‘Whilst correcting the proof sheet of this paper,
(January 18th, 1835) I see with some amusement,
in that admirable literary Journal the Athenæum,
an old French anecdote, which bears a considerable
resemblance to the adventures of poor Miss Savage.
How the coincidence can have occurred I have no
means of divining;–unless, indeed, our wicked
friend Mr. William Marshall may have happened
to meet with the story of “Les trois Racans” ’

‘To the Printers of Great Britain this genuine

Biographical Sketch is of American origin, and
forms the Introduction to a Series of Tales, entitled,
“Novelettes of a Traveller, or Odds and Ends from
the Knapsack of Thomas Singularity, Journeyman
Printer”. These tales were selected for publication
by the fellow-apprentice and working companion

notes that ‘it seemed to me [the ‘editor’] that
they might amuse the many, and be instructive
to the ruminating few that chew the cud of reflection’

Preface, pp. [v]–viii, which implies female
authorship, and notes: ‘With regard to the critical
world, should her little work find its way there,
she has nothing to say in extenuation of the sometimes
imputed error of taking up the pen, nor in defence
of the produce of her literary hours. The circumstance,
however, that the present volume is her first
offence, should it be so construed, as well as
the nature of the compositions submitted to the
public, should exempt her from great blame, if
it does not from cavil. She is, however, quite
aware, that when an author ventures to publish,
he has no reason to consider himself harshly dealt
with, when reminded, in a proper spirit, of his
faults. The conference has been voluntarily sought,
and, to a certain degree, the result ought to
be patiently received. Although criticism is too
often founded upon acrimony and party feeling;
yet she cannot but hope, that in the present instance,
as there is but little in the volume itself to
merit and hostile attack, and nothing as regards
herself to provoke one, she may escape the ordeal
with the expression of that opinion which an impartial
consideration of its pretentions ought honestly
to draw forth’ (pp. vii–viii). Continuous
roman and arabic pagination, although text proper
begins after a gap on p. [13]. Contains:

Notes. Preface, dated ‘February, 11, 1836’.
This refers to ‘the completion of the First Volume
of our little Miscellany’, and is immediately
followed by ‘Index’, these forming together two
unn. pages immediately prior to the individual
numbers, each of which are 8 pp. long. First
number, described at head as ‘No 1, Vol I’, is
dated alongside ‘Thursday, April 2, 1835’, with
the price given as ‘One Penny’. Each weekly number
(similarly priced) usually has a lurid illustration
before the main printed text, and there is a large
fictional component in the contents, with some
stories continuing through several numbers. Copy
seen lacks separate t.p. for vol. 2, which commences
at no. 49, dated ‘Thursday, February 18, 1836’.
This sequence ends with no. 91, dated ‘Thursday,
December 8, 1836’, and at foot of last page ‘All
published’ is written in hand. The Bodleian copy
described here is bound in one volume, and lacks
vol. 1, nos. 15 and 24, and vol. 2, nos. 65 and
73. Printed attributions at end of pieces (which
include ‘T. P.’) indicate several authors and
derivation from a variety of sources. Colophons
in individual numbers read: ‘Printed and Published
by G. Drake, 12, Houghton Street, Clare Market.’

announce successively ‘vol. I’, ‘vol. II’, and
‘vol. III’ (the same is also found at the foot

Notes. Preface (3 pp. unn.) is followed
by ‘Advertisement’ (1 p. unn.). The latter
states: ‘It is but fair to inform the reader,
that in the following pages the original idea
of the young Surgeon’s character is taken from
that of Henri Muller in M. Dumas’s excellent
melo-drama, “Angèle” ’. In vols. 1 and 2
printer’s marks read: ‘Printed by J. Smith, rue

details deleted by hand from imprint, and replaced
with ‘F. Coghlan, 5 King William Street, Strand’.
ECB also gives Coghlan as publisher. LG 998: 157

‘To write, or to omit writing a preface, is at
an Author’s option. Imitating the example of those
who refrain from so doing, I shall compose none:—unless,
indeed, that may be deemed a preface, which is
merely designed as an apology for intrusion, and
a prayer that indulgence may be shewn towards
the many faults which I myself perceive in the
work now offered to the Public, as well as to
those which, though to me invisible, I nevertheless
cannot but be aware exist in it, and will, I fear,
be more apparent to the reader.’ Vol. 1 has colophon
of J. Barfield, Wardour Street, Soho, while vols.

Notes. Preface, pp. [v]–vi, begins:
‘As the first Series of this work (entitled the
Romance of Ancient History) has been mistaken
in several instances for quite another book, The
Romance of History, the author has judged it best,
agreeably to the suggestion of his friends, to
prefix the present title to this second Series.
The plan observed in this part of the work is
exactly the same as that pursued in the foregoing
portion of it. Herodotus is still the historian
from whom he makes his selections, and his scenes
are still drawn from the second book of this writer,
which contains the history of Egypt’ (p. [v]).
This is followed by an ‘Introduction’, pp. [vii]–xi.
The items comprise: ‘The Ovethrow of Tyranny’,
pp. [1]–131; ‘Preliminary Note’ (p. [132])
to ‘The Retreat of Sabako’, which itself runs
from p. [133] to the end of vol. 2. Signatures
are labelled ‘Vol. I’ and ‘Vol. II’ respectively,
but append the abbreviation ‘S.S.’, probably indicating
‘Second Series’. Printer’s marks and colophons
of Gilbert and Rivington, St. John’s Square. BL
copy examined is collected (but not bound) together
with the 2 vols. of the 1st ser., The Romance
of Ancient History. Egypt (1834: 68), and
was the personal copy of Thomas Grenville, to
whom the 1st ser. was dedicated. All four vols.
are bound identically, with Grenville’s coat-of-arms
and the legend ‘Rt. Honble. Thos. Grenville’ embossed
in gilt on front cover. Bound at the start of
vol. 1 of the 2nd ser. is an autograph note from
Seymer, which accompanied the presentation copy,
and reads: ‘Dear Sir, Having just published a
second series of my work, I am encouraged from
your former kindness to request you will do me
the honour of accepting a Copy. I have prefixed
my name to this continuation, in pursuance of
the advice of my friends and earnestly hope this
step may meet your approbation. I beg the honour
of subscribing myself Dear Sir, your greatly obliged

Smyth acknowledges her authorship of this work
(originally serialized in Blackwood’s Magazine
in 1827) in a letter to Sir Walter Scott, of 14
Aug 1827 (National Library of Scotland, MS 3904,
ff. 230–1). The issue is outlined more fully by
Sharon Ragaz in ‘Authorship in the Early Nineteenth
Century: Evidence from the Scott Letter-Books’
(unpublished paper delivered to the Toronto Bibliographical
Group, 2000). Dedication, p. [iii], to ‘Mrs. S.
C. Hall in Gratitude for the Pleasure Derived
from the Perusal of her “Sketches of Irish Character”
the Following Pages are with Sincerest Esteem
Inscribed’. This is followed by a Preface, pp. [v]–vi,
dated Jan 1835, which states that the pieces collected
together were originally published in Blackwood’s
and Fraser’s Magazines. Vol. 1 consists
of ‘Selwyn in Search of a Daughter’. Vol. 2 contains
‘Tales of the Wedding’, comprising separate tales
in the form of five chapters: ‘A Wedding at College’,

‘A Wedding under Ground’, pp. 79–117; ‘A
Wedding in Court’, p. 118–161; ‘A Wedding
at School’, pp. 162–199. This sequence is
followed by two chapters, with verso running titles
reading ‘Recontres on the Road’ instead of ‘Tales
of the Wedding’, and comprising two chapters:
‘The Resuscitated’, pp. 200–239, and ‘The
Dead Alive’, pp. 240–289. Vol. 2 concludes
with ‘Marriage Impromptu’, pp. 290–309 (with
matching running titles). Vol. 3 contains ‘The
Bachelor’s Beat’, which consists of separate tales
in the form of seven chapters: ‘The First of September’,
pp. [1]–54; ‘Emily Fortescue’, pp. 55–112;

have been derived from the pages of Robertson,

we are wholly unwarranted in substituting a daughter
of Martinuzzi, to so conspicuous and exalted a
station, as that in which we have introduced our
heroine. We can produce, however, good authority
for our apparent disregard to the frontier line,
which separates historical truths from the traditions
of the legendary, or the fictions of the romancer.’

Notes. Dedication (1 p. unn.) to ‘Sir George
Strickland, Bart. M.P. These Volumes Are Inscribed
as a Slight Tribute of the Author’s Esteem’. Preface,
pp. [i]–iv, notes: ‘The Author of these volumes
has, she trusts, entered upon untrodden ground,
at least, no writer of later date, than that of
the illustrious father of English poetry, Geoffrey
Chaucer (the Sir Walter Scott of the thirteenth
century) has founded a work of fiction on the
plan of the ancient devotional pilgrimage […]
Each of the votaries to the shrine of our Lady
of Walsingham, in this work, like Chaucer’s Canterbury
Pilgrims, is pledged to relate a tale. The present
volumes contain those of Cardinal Wolsey, King
Henry, the Abbot of Glastonbury, Queen Catherine,
the Emperor Charles, and the Abbess of Ely. //
Those of Mary of France, Charles Brandon, Duke
of Suffolk, Anna Boleyn, Sir Thomas Wyatt, &c.
&c., are necessarily deferred till a Second
Series of the Pilgrims of Walsingham.’ The narrative
frame and each tale have their own t.ps., but
also observe continuous chapter divisions. Vol.
1 contains: ‘Cardinal Wolsey’s Tale. The Saxon
Widow’s Vow’, pp. [93]–167; ‘King Henry’s
Tale. William Rufus and the Salmon-Pasty’, pp. [175]–215;
‘The Abbot’s Tale. The Christian Gladiators’,
pp. [221]–273; ‘Historical Notes to the First
Volume of The Pilgrims of Walsingham’, pp. [277]–312.
Vol. 2 contains: ‘Queen Catherine’s Tale. The
Gothic Count’, pp. [1]–46; ‘The Emperor’s
Tale. Don Froida and his Ten Daughters’, pp. [63]–312;
‘Historical Notes’, pp. [337]–340. Vol. 3
is occupied by ‘The Abbess of Ely’s Tale. The
Royal Sisters’, pp. [1]–316, and ‘Historical
Notes’, pp. [341]–346. Printer’s marks and

Notes. Preface, pp. [iii]–v, end-dated
‘London, June 26, 1835’. In this the authoress
expresses diffidence in ‘sending forth to the
world a tale which by its title gives promise
of treating not only of history, but of Scottish
history; an act of presumption of which she is
anxious to clear herself;—and at the same time
she wished to reassure those readers who may not
like historical novels from a woman’s pen, that
she has entered no farther into public affairs,
than as they may have influence the fortunes and
feelings of one admirable woman who forms the
subject of the following memoir’ (p. [iii]).
The preface ends by observing that ‘[f]or reasons
which may be understood by her friends […] the
tale of Blanche was written in the year 1832’.
The constituent tales are: ‘Winifred, Countess
of Nithsdale’, vol. 1, p. [1]–vol. 2, p. 157;
‘The Hampshire Cottage’, vol. 2, pp. [159]–336;
and ‘Blanche’, which occupies vol. 3. Printer’s
marks and colophons of Samuel Bentley, Dorset
Street, Fleet Street. Bentley MS List records
print run of 1,500 copies. BP notes: ‘ “Tales
of the Peerage and Peasantry” was the subject
of a parody by W. M. Thackeray in his Novels by
Eminent Hands under the title of “Lords and Liveries,”
by the author “Dukes and Dejeuners,” “Hearts and
Diamonds,” “Marchionesses and Milliners,” etc.’

Notes. Trans. of Ettore Fieramosca;

Preface’, pp. [iii]–iv, dated 25 Mar 1835,
begins: ‘The original of the following Work was
first published in Italy about three years ago.
Its appearance excited considerable sensation
in that country, from the circumstance of its
author being a son-in-law of the justly celebrated
Manzoni, which gave rise to an idea that the author
of “I Promessi Sposi” might probably have
had a hand in its composition. The Translator’s
attention was first drawn to the book from seeing
its publication announced in those terms by the
“Foreign Quarterly Review.” It has since obtained
popularity on the Continent and been translated
into French.’ Printer’s mark and colophon of Richard
Taylor, Red Lion Court, Fleet Street.

Preface (2 pp. unn.), dated ‘Saughtree, Liddesdale,
March, 1835’, describes this work as ‘fictitious
biography’, apologizing for the fact that the
author is ‘not so much satisfied with the work
himself’. This concludes: ‘On the whole, he [i.e.
the author] certainly does entertain an opinion
that it contains something of a redeeming character,
and therefore submits it to the public, fearing
little from censure, and hoping as little from
praise.’ Colophon reads: ‘Newcastle: Printed at
the Courant Office by J. Blackwell and Co.’.
