A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Systema Naturce. At Mason sdeath, in 1797, they passed to Mr. Richard Stonhewer, one of Gray soldest friends, and when he died they came into the possession of his executor, the Reverend Mr. Bright of Skeffington Hall, Leicestershire. When Mr. T. J. Mathias was preparing his edition of Gray s Works, which appeared in two quarto volumes in 1814, Mr. Bright placed at his disposal the mass of Gray smanuscripts, whether in independent note-books or on the margins of printed books, and from them Mr. Mathias selected the material which fills his second volume. A mong his selections were specimens of Gray sannotations to the Linnceus; but though they occupy twenty-five pages they represent only an inconsiderable part of the notes. Some thirty years later, in 1845, many of the books and manuscripts of Gray which Mr. Bright had possessed were sold at auction in London. Most of them were purchased by Mr. Penn of Stoke Pogis, who occupied the house called West End, which had be longed to Grays uncle, Mr. Rogers, and in which Gray smother had spent the last years of her life, and where she had died. Some years later Mr. Penn sold the manuscripts at auction, and apparently disposed of the mass of the books by private sale to a bookseller. At any rate some of the books got into the mar ket, and were dispersed. The Linncew finally found its way into the hands of Mr. Ruskin.
