Morgan, Greatest Collector of
Art and Literary Treasures in History
Has Priceless Collection of First
Prints and Manuscripts at
New York Home.

EoR the first time a complete de-
scription of the most valuable
book collection in the world has
been printed. 1t belongs to ]. Pierpont
Morgan and is housed with his priceless
art treasures in his home at Thirty
sixth street and Madison avenue, New
York.
The collection stamps Mr.. Morgan as
probably the greatest collector of things
splendid and beautiful and rare who has
ever lived. There is no one with whom
he can be compared, except, perhaps,
Lorenzo de Medici. and he surpasses
even that prince in the catholicity of
his taste.
But he Is like Lorenzo the Magnifi-
cent in the knowledge he possesses of
books and pictures and prints and
faience and tapestries; indeed, of every
object he collects. His knowledge is
not CURSOR. but intimate.
The collections include the Ashburn-
ham Gospels and others of the most
renowned bindings-relics of the days
'of yore, when books were few and
fine'-in existence; the Golden Cos
pels of Henry VIII, the Naples
Offices of Giulio Cloyio, and many
other celebrated Illuminated manu-
scripts; CaXtons and other ~incunabula
that not even the British Museum can
match; an amazing collection of vol
umes once owned by famous persons;
almost the only manuscripts of Byron
known to exist; Blake's original draw
ings for the Book of Job" the orig
inals of Horace Walpole's letters, the
original drawings for the "Pickwick
Papers," the manuscript of "Endy-
mion;' Shelley's notebook; the manu-
scripts and drawings of 'Trilby'' and
Peter Ibbetson;' Cornwallis's Terms
of Surrender; letters of st. Francis Dc
Sales and other saints; the originals OF
many of Burns's poems; manuscripts
Of DR.. Johnson; the manuscript of "a
Christmas Carol" and ten volumes of
Dickens's letters; manuscripts of Swift;
the earliest letter of Napoleon in ex-
i%stence; SCOTS diary and manuscripts
of nine of his novels, including Ivan
hoe;'' manuscripts of masterpieces of
Dumas, Charlotte Bronte, George Sand,
