Endless Collection
Of Rare Volumes.
If there were only space to tell
of all the priceless treasures in Mr..
Hogan's library. A miscellaneous
group with rare copies of American
history, fiction, philosophy, and
Dresser and Sinclair Lewis modern
ism ranged on one side; English
writer's coming next in English bind

lows the flag when it comes to bind
ings. Pepys and Evelyn in boards
and not far away Crawford, "West-
ward Ho!" and Hardy and Gals
worthy; open house to q select
group of many men of many minds.
A library that shows the growth
and the sophistication of the owner.
One rare possession brought on the
desire for another, so Mr.. Hogan
usually goes abroad once a year to
browse around a bit, or follow the
scent Of some choice piece which he
hopes to bag in the book market.
Copy, copy: Just these Mr..
Hogan Is rich in Shakespeare, hav-
ing no less than "a quartos, of vari-
Gus editions . Rosebery copies of
the first, second and third folio, and
two fourths; Pavier quartos and that

Mr.. Hogan's first folio "is, I sup

OF BlackStOne'S commentaries on
Laws of England" that started him
off. He said it was the most natural
thing in the world for a lawyer to
want the rarest copy he could get of
the book which is kind of Bible to
one of his profession. and so when
the opportunity came to get that
greatest of legal classics he could
not withstand the temptation.
Johnson's Dictionary
Is Second Acquisition.
His second treasure was Johnson S
Dictionary-not a far cry from Sir
William-of whom the great lexicog-
rapher had an excellent opinion
and to whom he frequently referred.
Mr.. John Carter, writing in the
September Colophon charming
copy of that quarterly-of Mr.. Ho-
gan's library which he considers one
OF the finest private libraries in the
country, says that the first John
sons Dictionary bought was a re-
bound copy like Blackstones Com
mentarieS." "but unlike this was
exchanged for remarkable example
In the original boards, uncut"
If we are not mistaken, DR.. john
son was the first photographer to
illustrate his text with appropriate
quotations and, in turning the leaves
OF this first edition, one could we'll
understand the reason for its gener-
Gus proportions, for sometimes
many lines of prose or poetry would
be used to clarity a definition. The
boards of this large tome, which
would measure about is by 10 inches,
are beautifully marbled, to which
time has lent the softness and tex
ture of velvet. The owner keeps in
the dictionary a letter written by
DR.. johnson, presumably to his dear
friend, Mrs. Thrale.
Eiizabeth's Proclamation
On Lenten Meat Eating.
On the large library table of SIM
pie and unadorned lines such as a

frame containing an autograph
draft of Burns version of AUD
Lang Syne" and just above on the
oak paneling is Queen Elizabeth's
unique proclamation relative to
eating meat in Lent and the cire
punishments which would follow
at the top of the proclamation is
her f1amboyant signature.
OF course, Mr.. Hogan, true to his
Irish blood. would relish a nice
copy of Buffers "Hudibras," that sa-
tirical poem on certain blue laws
repressing public amusements; then
