Abstract: Printed books with hundreds of inserted manuscripts and prints relating to the
text, compiled and bound by collector Robert Borthwick Adam.
Rick Stattler and Marcia Levinson
A
full inventory spreadsheet was compiled by Marcia Levinson while the set was property
of Mary Hyde Eccles. This spreadsheet was expanded and developed into the present
guide in 2005.
*2003JM-75
Bequest of Mary Hyde Eccles, Four Oaks Farm, Somerville,
New Jersey; received: 2004.
This set was compiled by collector Robert Borthwick Adam (1833-1904) of Buffalo, N.Y., in the years following
the book's publication in 1897. It was inherited in 1904 by his nephew and adopted son
R.B. (Robert Borthwick) Adam (1863-1940), who may have
expanded it into its present form, and commissioned the present bindings from the Club Bindery. Bookplates show that in 1910, R.B. Adam presented
the set to his wife Lena Stevens Adam (d. 1940). The set was
purchased from the Adam estate by Donald Frizell Hyde and Mary
Hyde in 1948.
Available on microfilm.
The Adams acquired prints and manuscripts to illustrate places and
individuals mentioned in the text of Hill's book. The names are underlined in red ink in
Hill's text, and the corresponding items are mounted on facing pages (preceding
odd-numbered pages and following even-numbered pages). The inventory is arranged
as items appear in the volumes. The first digit of each item number refers to the
volume as bound by Adam, and the second digit refers to the page number in the
published text. The third digit, where necessary, refers to the sheet number of the
insertion in cases where more than one item is inserted for a page. Example: (3. 270.
6) indicates that the item is in Vol. 3 of Adam's 9-volume set. Within that volume, it
appears facing page 270, and starts on the sixth inserted sheet facing that page. It
follows immediately after (3. 370. 4) because that item is mounted on two sheets. Appearing after Hill's index, volume 9, pages 521-606, is a printed master index of
inserted material. This was apparently compiled by Adam, and printed using a similar
typeface and paper size as Hill's book. The index has separate sections for portraits;
autographs; views; and miscellaneous illustrations.
The set includes prints and manuscripts for many of the people and places
mentioned in Hill's Johnsonian Miscellanies, including individuals
mentioned only in footnotes or as historical figures, who may have only a tangential
relation to Samuel Johnson.
The set also includes letters by John Burgoyne; Wiliam Cobbett; Thomas De
Quincey; Edward VII, King of Great Britain; Thomas Gainsborough; David Garrick; W.
E. (William Ewart) Gladstone; Charles George Gordon; Thomas Jefferson; Pietro
Metastasio; and many others. Also of note are original pencil sketches credited to
Henry William Bunbury, item (7. 269. 2); and Ozias Humphry, item (7. 297. 4).
Between 1948 and 2003, the Hydes removed many items from
these volumes for exhibition, conservation, or reproduction. When possible, these
removals have been listed as "REMOVED" after their appropriate page number, with a
citation showing their present location. Most of the known removals were distributed
through the unbound portions of the Hyde collections, which were bequeathed to the
Houghton Library in 2003 along with these volumes. Only one removal has been noted
without a tracking reference: item (9. 431. 1), which was given to another collector by
Mary Hyde Eccles.
