Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Only one of Hogg’s children, his fourth (legitimate) child, Harriet (1827-84), had issue. After suffering financially in the Bank of Scotland collapse, Harriet, her husband Robert Gilkison (1820-79), and their nine children emigrated to Dunedin in 1879. In 1911, after the death of Hogg’s youngest daughter, Mary Gray Garden (b. 1831), Hogg’s possessions were shipped to Dunedin to the remaining Gilkison family members. This book contains the bookplate that is pasted in the Hogg volumes that are now housed in Special Collections. Interestingly, you can see Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) has personalised this copy of his book, Newton Forster, to James Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The <strong>Hogg Collection</strong> contains about 100 volumes; some manuscript material, mainly letters; and ephemera. The collection includes Hogg’s own publications, other books owned by Hogg (with some proprietorial inscriptions), and acquisitions made by the Special Collections Librarian. This book, by Hogg’s great-great-grandson, Bruce Gilkison, recounts his re-creation of Hogg’s Highland travels in the early 1800s. In recent years, the life and works of James Hogg have experienced a resurgence of interest, and Special Collections is lucky enough to have some unique items associated with the Ettrick Shepherd.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
James Hogg and Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) first became acquainted in 1802. This acquaintance gradually developed into a friendship of almost thirty years. In this letter to Hogg, Scott’s son-in-law, John Gibson Lockhart (1794-1854), writes that Scott had suffered another stroke on a return trip from the Continent. Scott returned to his home, Abbotsford, and Hogg twice tried to visit, but was not allowed to see the author. Scott died on 21 September 1832. The <strong>Hogg Collection</strong> contains a number of letters, and the correspondents include Hogg’s bow-maker, Peter Muir; editor and abolitionist, Thomas Pringle; and the editor of the<em> Juvenile Forget-Me-Not</em>, Anna Maria Hall.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Novelist and poet, James Hogg (1770-1835) was born into a tenant farming family near Ettrick, about thirty miles south of Edinburgh as the crow flies. Out of necessity, Hogg began his working life as a cowherd aged eight. Despite a limited early education, he wrote his first verses in 1793, inspired by the stories and songs he had heard growing up. This volume, <em>The Mountain Bard</em>, is Hogg’s first published collection of ‘ballads and songs’, and is dedicated to Sir Walter Scott, who also helped to edit the publication. Most of the <strong>Hogg Collection</strong> was donated to the University of Otago’s Special Collections, in 1952, by the great-grandchildren of Hogg, the Gilkison family.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The <strong>de Beer Collection</strong> contains manuscripts and printed books, totalling some 8000 volumes. Apart from the Evelyn and Locke publications, there is a large collection of 16th to 18th century travel books to Italy and Rome. These reflect de Beer’s interest in the European ‘Grand Tour’, something that both Evelyn and Locke undertook. De Beer’s enthusiasm for things Italian was infectious. Indeed, it spread to his cousin Charles Brasch, who also had a strong fondness for Italy. Baldassarre Orsini (1732-1810) was an architect and historian of Italian art. Here is an engraving of the surrounds by Tufillo Bridge, opposite the chapter by Orsini describing the old parish church in the district of Santa Maria Intervineas, near Ascoli Piceno, Italy.

‘Guide-books are worthy of study in their own right, as a form of human activity; if few of them possess literary merits of as high rank, many of them fulfil to a remarkable degree the purposes for which they exist.’ So begins Esmond de Beer in his own work on the development of the guidebook. And de Beer collected these publications – late 15th century Roman guidebooks to shrines and churches, guides to Italy and France, John Murray’s handbooks, and the famed red Baedekers.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Iolo Aneurin Williams (1890-1962) was an art historian and bibliographer, who penned such works as <em>Early English Watercolours</em> (1952), <em>Seven Eighteenth-century Bibliographies</em> (1924), and <em>The Elements of Book Collecting</em> (1927). In 1958, Esmond de Beer purchased from Williams his working collection of minor 18th century verse, some 1200 volumes. Forming part of the <strong>de Beer Collection</strong>, these works – ‘one man’s gatherings of lesser poets’ - were gifted to the University Library. Miscellanies feature, especially ‘Poems written on Several Occasions’. Mary Masters (c.1694-1759), a self-taught poet of humble birth, gained some attention by her association with Samuel Johnson. This is the first and only edition of her <em>Poems on Several Occasions</em> (1733).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In September 1931, the Delegates of the Clarendon Press invited Esmond de Beer to prepare and edit the first full edition of John Evelyn’s diary. In pursuit of Evelyn (1620-1706), de Beer travelled to Italy (which he loved), France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. The <em>Diary</em>, which covered Evelyn’s life from 1640 to 1706, was published in six volumes in 1955, to universal acclaim. As part of his preparation for this project, de Beer collected the works of Evelyn, many quite scarce, and if ever available, expensive. <em>Sylva</em>, the first publication of the then newly formed Royal Society, was Evelyn’s treatise on the practical instruction in the growth and management of trees. A popular work, it was reprinted numerous times. This is the scarce first edition.

A summary of the resource.
Twenty-five pages in Brasch’s <em>The Universal Dance</em>, a posthumous publication (1981) of selected prose writings, are dedicated to the English poet Robert Graves. Brasch admired Graves’s polished verse and felt he was ‘among the finest English poets of our time, one of the few who is likely to be remembered as a poet.’ Through Brasch’s instigation, books by Graves were systematically purchased and today, Special Collections houses the largest collection of poetry and prose by Graves in New Zealand. This delightful ‘poems for children’ is colourfully illustrated by Edward Ardizzone, the British artist. It is from Brasch’s own collection.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 1935, Brasch visited Ireland, travelling to places such as Dublin, Gort, Coole, and Sligo. Reading material he carried with him included Yeats’s <em>Collected Poems</em>. The influence was profound: ‘Here was the work of a living poet which sounded like sea surge in my ears and haunted me no less than that of any of the great dead.’ In 1939, Yeats died as did Brasch’s sister Lesley. He wrote gloomily: ‘It was the worst time I had ever known.’ Yeats was always a constant. In 1927, he bought this copy of Yeats’s <em>Red Hanrahan</em>, a reprint from the original in 1897. Reading it, he was able to soak up Irish history and culture told in Yeats’s own inimitable style.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
After shrugging off the work-load surrounding <em>Landfall</em> in 1966, Brasch embarked on a rigorous study of Russian. Within the <strong>Brasch Collection</strong> there is almost 7 linear metres of Russian literature, including works by Gorki, Turgenev, Dostoyevsky, Blok, Solzhenitsyn, and Pasternak. Typical of his own scholarly thoroughness, Brasch began translating some of their works. He tackled Boris Pasternak, of <em>Dr Zhivago</em> fame. Indeed, Brasch felt so confident in his language skills that he scribbled in Alec Brown’s translation of Pasternak’s<em> Safe Conduct</em> (1959) ‘an appalling translation’ and ‘crude & bad!’ Stefan Schimanski’s first English translation of Pasternak’s <em>Collected Prose</em> passed the Brasch test; there are no marks within.

Dunedin, 1948
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The <strong>Brasch Collection</strong> totals some 160 linear metres of books. This includes 22 boxes full of ephemeral booklets, pamphlets and keepsakes. Brasch’s pictorial collection – housed at the Hocken Library – numbered 461 art pieces. Artists represented in that collection included Esmond Atkinson, R.S. Carson, Evelyn Page, Ralph Hotere, Janet Paul, Doris Lusk, and Colin McCahon. Brasch was a staunch friend of McCahon. From one of Brasch’s pamphlet boxes is a scarce hand list of a McCahon exhibition that ran from July 1947 to September 1948 in the Dunedin Public Library. It begins: ‘Colin McCahon’s paintings startle and even shock us at first sight because he does not paint the world as we are accustomed to see it and think of it every day.’ It is signed ‘C.B’, that is, Charles Brasch.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is considered one of the greatest lyric poets of modern Germany. In 1928, Brasch bought an Insel Verlag edition of poems by Rilke. Two years later, in April 1930, he bought a German edition of Rilke’s <em>Letters to a Young Poet</em>. From this edition, he translated passages for the second issue of <em>Phoenix</em>, perhaps the earliest translations of this writer to appear in English. Brasch was enthusiastic about the <em>Letters</em>, noting: ‘Yes they were addressed to me!’ The influence lasted, for Brasch collected and read other Rilke titles, including this Leonard and Virginia Woolf published edition of 1936.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Charles Brasch was about nine and staying at Henley-on-Taieri when he wrote his first poems on the subject of briar roses. As a self-confessed ‘wooly-minded scribbler’ of ‘worthless Georgian-romantic verse’, Brasch continued writing. In 1939, Caxton Press published <em>The Land and the People and Other Poems</em>, his first volume of verse in an edition of 100 copies. Brasch had once written: ‘It was New Zealand I discovered, not England, because New Zealand lived in me as no other country could live, part of myself as I was part of it, the world I breathed and wore from birth, my seeing and my language’ (<em>Indirections</em>). <em>The Land and the People (II)</em>, and its sequences, are part of his personal scrutiny.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
After a brief trip to New Zealand, which included a disastrous attempt at entering the family business, Brasch headed back to England and Europe. Colin Roberts, a friend, arranged for him to become a field assistant and join the seasonal archaeological digs at Tell el-Amarna. Brasch spent three seasons in Egypt, from 1933 to 1935. Before going out to Egypt, Brasch studied the language at the School of Oriental Studies in London, and read much on Egyptian history. He was at Tell el-Amarna when the head of Queen Nefertiti was unveiled. The infatuation with Egypt obviously continued. He bought this Phaidon edition on the art of Ancient Egypt, which was published in 1936.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Many book collectors have fields of collecting which are formed either by following an established collecting tradition (first editions), or from personal interest (a liking for the novels of Anthony Trollope). However, there are always one or two items that fall outside the collecting field, often acquired through happenstance, or for some unknown reason. The logbook of the<em> Ship York</em> in the <strong>Shoults Collection</strong> is but one example, obtained outside his collecting fields of religious books, early printed books, and Elzevirs. This East Indiaman vessel made five voyages for the British East India Company between 1773 and 1787. On this particular journey to Madras and China in 1780, she was under command of Captain Arthur Blanshard.

Speyer: Printer of the Gesta Christi
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In his short life, Shoults was able to collect 28 incunabula, those books printed in Europe before 1501. The books vary in typefaces, style, and quality of printing and binding. Indeed, some are typographical masterpieces; others are downright pedestrian. All but two are in Latin. Although attributed to Thomas Aquinas in the <em>incipit</em> (beginning), <em>De modo confitendi</em> <em>et</em> <em>De puritate conscientiae</em> was penned by Matthew of Kraków (c. 1335–1410), a 14th century scholar-priest. This German printing of both works was done by the mysterious ‘Printer of the Gesta Christi’ in 1472.

[Leiden: Elzevir]
Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The Dutch firm of Elzevir was established about 1585. They produced small format editions which have always been collectible. Bibliophiles (booklovers) throughout time have sought out the tallest and freshest copies, known for their elegance of design, neatness, clearness and regularity of type. Indeed, collectors have been known to deny themselves life’s necessaries for the sake of accumulating as many little Elzevirs as possible. Shoults was no different. The <strong>Shoults Collection</strong> contains 105 copies of these editions; a respectable number for any library. Many had engraved title-pages, like this second edition of <em>Helvetiorum Respublica</em> (1627), a reprint of works on Switzerland that initiated from Josias Simmler’s <em>De Republica Helvetiorum</em> (1576).

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
As expected from an ecclesiast, Shoults collected a number of devotional works such as breviaries and missals, some dating back to the 17th and 18th century. This Spanish printing of <em>Davide Perseguitato</em> by Virgilio Malvezzi (1595–1654), an Italian historian and essayist, not only contains the text of <em>David Persecuted</em>, but also a portion of a 15th century Italian <em>Antiphonal</em>. Here the rubricated vellum fragment has been used for the entire binding. The texts on the front and back covers are chants for Palm Sunday. There are 25 other examples of this fragment recycling in the Shoults Collection.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
On 1 August 1878, Shoults married Elizabeth Katherine Ogle; he was 39; she was 36. Part of the <strong>Shoults Collection</strong> contains books that were not only owned by her, but also by her father, John Connell Ogle (1813-1871), a landscape and maritime painter. Ogle was a member of the Liverpool Water-colour Society, and former professor of drawing at the University, Corfu, which was the Ionian Academy, established by Frederick North, 5th Earl of Guilford (1766–1827), in 1824. This ‘biography’ on Malta and Gozo, an island of the Maltese archipelago, is by George Percy Badger (1815–1888), an Anglican missionary, whose expertise lay in churches of the East. The book was printed in Malta, and is signed and dated by Ogle, 1839.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
The <strong>Shoults Collection</strong> contains many volumes of small pamphlets bound together and given the generic title ‘Church Tracts’. Shoults was a curate who worked in four slum parishes of London: Walworth, Bunhill Row, Shoreditch, and Lombard Street. He favoured services that were ritualistic, such as a daily Eucharist, incense, altar lights, and colourful vestments. This was all part of a 19th century movement to rejuvenate and revitalise the Church of England. Alexander Heriot Mackonochie (1825-1887) was one of the leading members of the broader Catholic revival, and for carrying out ritualist practices at St Alban’s, Holborn, he was prosecuted and banned from preaching. Here is a third edition copy of his <em>Meditation</em>.

A summary of the resource.
Willi Fels did not just concentrate on the classical and the antiquarian. ‘Modern’ works also caught his discerning eye. <em>Scenes of Clerical Life</em> was George Eliot’s first published work of fiction, and the first to contain her famous pseudonym. This stereotyped edition is from a ‘Novels of’ series published by Blackwood and Sons about 1880. It was owned by Fels, and has his signature at the front. Interestingly, this copy was passed on to his grandson Charles Brasch, who was the family genealogist. It contains his annotations and notes.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Willi Fels travelled a great deal, visiting Europe many times. He also travelled to Japan, and secured a number of artifacts that are now housed in the Otago Museum. Special Collections has a number of works by the Greek-born, American journalist turned Japanophile, Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) that were once owned by Fels. Hearn readily adopted Japanese culture, and on marrying a Samurai’s daughter, he became known as Koizumi Yakumo. Hearn wrote extensively about Japan, with <em>Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan</em> (1894) his first on his adopted country. Perhaps Fels, the connoisseur collector, met Hearn while in Tokyo.
