From the library of Eric Quayle, with his brief pencilled notes on the front end-papers of volume one. Originally published in forty numbers between November 6th 1786 and July 30th 1787, the chief contributors being George Canning, John Smith, Robert Smith, and John Hookham Frere. All the contributions were anonymous. The back of the front end-paper in volume one bears a neat ink note in a contemporary hand, reading “The Westminster scholars having published the Trifler as a rival work to the Microcosm, and prefixed to it a Frontispiece in which the respective publications were shown in a pair of scales, the Trifler weighing down the Microcosm, Mr. C[anning]. (who was chiefly concerned in writing the latter) wrote the following Epigram: ‘What mean you by this print so rare, / Ye wits, of Eton jealous, / But that your rivals soar in air, / And you are heavy fellows?’

The final volume of the Miscellanies, consisting of nine separately printed items bound up together. Pp.10+18+18+26+xiv+114+viii+204+[120]+[26]+[24]+[8]. Printed over eight years on large, fine, hand-made paper, watermarked ‘Chiswick Press’, and here first issued as a volume. Much of the present volume is the work of Richard Monckton Milnes, Lord Houghton, including his transcription of ‘Bishop Cranmer’s Recantacyons’ (Latin text), but it includes also an unpublished portion of the Greville Memoirs, the first printing of some Sydney Smith letters, and, most importantly, the first printing of S.T. Coleridge’s extensive correspondence with the Rev. J.P. Estlin (v. Wise, 101), these last occupying some 117pp. Wise speaks of fifty copies only of the Coleridge letters as having been issued, but it is not clear whether he intends to convey that this was the total printing, or merely that it was the number of copies issued to members separately in wrappers before the bound volume had been prepared. According to the List of Members prefacing the latter, the Society had no more than thirty-five surviving members by the time it was sent out. It would appear, therefore, that the total edition is likely in either case to have been extremely small.

The second of two annual volumes under this main title, after which it was renamed ‘The Temple of the Muses’ and appeared semi-annually. According to the Editors’ Preface, “It was the intention of the projectors of the Poetical Magazine... to unite in one respectable publication a variety of the Fugitive Poems, the production of their friends and occasional correspondents; mingling, at the same time with these such extracts from faviurite authors, as seemed to possess charms for universal attention.” Most of the contributors are identified only by initials: J.L.S., B.F., B.A., R.T., J.S., W.W., ASIB, E., E.W., H., O., W.H., M., T., D.B., etc., or by pseudonyms and hints of names: Constantia, Philopatros, Anna, J — a B — wd — n (Liverpool), E --- e, etc., but among those more fully identified are W.M. Craig, Holloway, Carey, Balfour, J. Rannie, M.G. Lewis (‘The Spanish Exile’ and ‘Durandarte and Belerma’), [Ann Radcliffe] (‘The Glow Worm’ from ‘The Mysteries of Udolpho’), Mrs. Robinson (‘The Complaint’ from ‘Vancenza’), Collins (‘Ode on the Superstitions of the Highlands of Scotland’, with ‘Supplemental Stanzas’ by William Erskine, Esq., Advocate), Mr. G. Goodwin, Jo. Raynholt, Sir William Jones, William Preston, John Ogilvie, Rev. Mr. Joseph Warton, William Boscawen, Emanuel Collins, D. Hurn, John Colligins, and R. Carlile. There is no list of plates, but they are marked to face pp.3, 61, 123, and 296, and are here so bound in; there is also an unmarked plate to p.188. An uncommon volume, collected from the numbers, with contents very characteristic of the social verse of its time.

All issued. ‘Transformation’ was intended to appear twice yearly, a schedule it never made. The second volume is uncommon; the first volume definitely scarce. Complete sets very hard to find. ‘Transformation Four’ is seen also in a glazed fine net grain cloth, the present binding being the earlier. This set belonged to Dr. August Closs, variations of whose small neat pencil signature appears in three of the volumes, together with a scattering of notes. Closs was a would-be contributor to the series: loosely laid into the first volume are two letters to him (c.300 words) from Schimanski, discussing the possibilities of contribution. Schimanski suggests, among other things that Closs should contact Fred Marnau, with a view to offering him something for his ‘New Road’ anthologies. Closs did, and duly appears in ‘New Road 4’. a number of more or less relevant press cuttings, etc. are loosely laid in, including a Lindsay Drummond catalogue for 1945, whilst a review of the first volume is loosely tipped inside the front cover. Contributors to the first volume include Herbert Read, Reginald Sorensen, Alexander Blok, J.F. Hendry, S.I. Hsiung, G.S. Fraser, Anne Ridler, Schimanski, Francis Scarfe, Mulk Raj Anand, W.J. Turner, Reginald Moore, William Sansom, Elizabeth Berridge, Boris Pasternak, etc.; to the second, Richard Church, A.S. Neill, Ian Serraillier, alan Ross, Lewis Mumford, Schimanski, Herbert Read, Graham Thomas, Steven Spender, Ivan Bunin, Henry Treece, Michael Hamburger, Henry Miller, etc.; to the third, Edith Sitwell (facsimile of a ms. poem), Gertrude Stein, Reginald Sorensen, Herbert Read, Schimanski, D.S. Savage, Henry Treece, Henry Moore, Paul Nash, etc.; and to the fourth, Henry Miller, Jean Paulhan, Nicolas Berdyaev, Antoine de Saint Exupery, Henry Treece, Hugo Manning, Kenneth Patchen, Anais Nin, William Saroyan, Jean Garrigue, Margiad Evans, Olaf Stapledon, etc., etc.
