Robert Harding Evans has been described as 'the greatest of all auctioneers of literary property'. In a career spanning three decades he oversaw the dispersal of many of the finest libraries ever assembled, from the great Roxburghe sale of 1812 to that of the Duke of Sussex in 1845, as well as those of the books of Lord Byron and the manuscripts and copyrights of Sir Walter Scott. In an undated letter to Bodley's Librarian (copy in Item Four below) Marcham states that he is 'working on Evans the auctioneer and the list will be published. The [British] Museum possess nearly all of the auctioneers' own set and I will put the references in. I would like also to make it a check list of the Bodleian'. That work was not published, but the annotated typescripts of it that are Items One and Two below do constitute a valuable supplement to M. V. de Chantilly's 'provisional list' of Evans's catalogues (2002). The seven items in the present collection are all in fair condition, on aged and worn paper. ONE and TWO: Two copies of the typescript of Marcham's 'A COMPLETE LIST in chronological order of AUCTION SALES made by ROBERT HARDING EVANS'. Both [188]pp., foolscap 8vo, paginated 1-185 [unpaginated 31 and double paginations of 41 and 66]. Both copies on loose leaves, in white folders. One copy with variants of pp.26, 37 and 79, and the other with two variant copies of p.4 (one page adding the 1813 Byron catalogue), and one extra copy of p.186. Both with numerous (and largely different) annotations in pencil and ink. Marcham lists 461 [amended in one catalogue to 460] catalogues between 1812 (the Roxburghe sale) and 1844 (Richard Roberts DD, of St Paul's School). At the end of one of the copies is a continuation (5p., 4to) of the typescript, adding eleven more catalogues which bring the list up to 471 (the Upcott sale). In addition to the title, date and number of pages, Marcham provides biographical information regarding the consignor, including quotations from wills and other sources, and notes on the background of sales, as well as giving details (and shelfmarks) of copies in various libraries. He also provides comments on various catalogues, and transcriptions of manuscript notes from Evans's own set of the catalogues (now in the British Library) which, as Marcham explains in the note above, forms the backbone of his work. Marcham's researches were unknown to M. V. de Chantilly, and they supplement the information given by him. A typical note, on the three known copies of the 1813 Byron catalogue, reads 'One sold by Elkin Mathews Ld of Conduit Street W (now Grosvenor St.) to a collector in the United States, another in their own possession, and the third in private hands. (See reproduction of title page.) J. M. is John Murray.' A photograph reproducing the title page of the Byron catalogue, with the note by Murray, is present, and there are occasional notes on various pieces of paper loosely inserted. THREE: Miscellaneous papers, including autograph notes (10pp., 4to) towards an essay on Robert Harding Evans, written on the backs of envelopes, mostly in pencil. With emendations. These notes begin: 'In dealing with book collecting it is usual to speak in terms of currency yet nothing is more misleading.' Marcham proceeds to discuss the 'eighteenth century collectors' before turning to his subject: 'Book-collecting ceased to be a "fashion" just about the time of Evans' commencement as an auctioneer. It was upon the aftermath that his prosperity depended. He sold many famous collections but he did not help to make others. No doubt he was a great auctioneer and a worthy follower of Samuel Paterson which may be the result of happy influence upon impressionable matter. When necessary his cataloguing was excellent for its purpose and taking the whole of his work I hardly think it has been equalled.' The piece includes the following interesting comment: 'There are men in England possessed of more money than Huntington and there are more in th.…
