Sources: MS James Barry Papers and Letters, Lewis Walpole Library, Yale University; A Catalogue of the Loose, and Framed and Glazed Prints, the Copper Plates of the Most Celebrated Works, and Library of Books, Chiefly relating to the Practice of the Art. The Property of the late James Barry, Esq. R.A. Deceased. Which will be sold by Auction, by Mr. Christie, At his Great Room, Pall Mall, On Saturday, April the 11th, 1807, at Twelve OClock.
The following is an attempt to reconstruct the contents of Barry's library from the two known sources: first, the hand-written inventory of the books found in Barry's house after his death made in an unknown hand; this covers 20 pages of single column entries. [img] This is the major primary source. The other source is the less extensive catalogue published by Christie's for the auction of Barry's effects, including books, on 10-11 April 1807. [img] These sources give short titles, some authors, as well as sizes, for most of the books. However, there is seldom sufficient evidence to be certain about which particular edition Barry held. The aim here is to provide authors and titles, and to suggest possible editions.
Christie's catalogue is helpful in that it sometimes clarifies precise authors and editions mentioned in the hand-written inventory; it also includes some titles that are not in the inventory. Prices realised at the auction are written in ink against each item: the total sum realised for Barry's books at the auction was £145.4s.
The hand-written list may have been a preliminary inventory, since it gives only short titles and authors and, very occasionally, a comment. At times the hand-writing is not legible: this is indicated in the text below together with an image of the relevant entry in the ms. The inventory contains a number of spelling errors, which have not been silently corrected - for example, 'Distionaire' for 'Dictionnaire', 'Odyssery ' for 'Odyssey' ; this feature, along with the brevity of some of the entries, suggests the person compiling the list did so in some haste, or was not particularly learned, or both. The books were not listed in alphabetical order.
Each entry contains up to three kinds of information: first, a transcription from the source, which appears in red; second, where possible, a fuller bibliographical description of the item; third, where applicable, an editorial comment.
Part One follows the principal source, the hand-written list If the short entry does not specify the edition, the bibliographical description is of a first edition or a later recognised edition that corresponds with the size of the volume given in the hand-written list. Where the list is not clear about the title - some entries are very brief - suggestions are made as to what the entry might refer to.
The hand-written inventory lists the books under several heads, starting with English Octavo, followed by Folio, then Quarto, but this scheme is not continued in later pages.
Part Two of what follows contains those titles from Christie's auction catalogue that are not in the inventory. The catalogue gives prices realised at the auction, but these seldom relate to a single item, rather to several titles in a lot. [img] The prices are included below in brackets. For books not listed specifically by Christie, no price can be given.
Links are provided from this page to particular letters in which the author or book is alluded to by Barry. He included portraits of many of the writers mentioned below in the last of his six large murals for the Society of Arts Elysium and Tartarus or the State of Final Retribution; [img] their identities in this painting are given in William L. Pressly, The Life and Art of James Barry (London: 1981), p. 296.
