With Andrew Carnegie as chairman, this latter group included Theodore W. Noyer, Blair Lee, james Wilson, Champ Clark, David Hutchinson, Thomas Nelson Page, Albert Douglas, Oliver G. Ricketson, Charles C. Mar- bury and John Barrett. Proper Housing Quest. It was undoubtedly the hope of Mr. Smith that his fellow, Scotch-born friend, Andrew Carnegie, might see fit to house his Burns collection intact, but this Mr. Carnegie felt indisposed to do. Neither did the Library of Congress nor the Public Library feel that either institution was in a posi- tion to take over the collection. ex- tremely rare and valuable as it is, in such a manner as would coincide with the plainly stated intention of | its donor that it should neither be merged nor shelved with other groups of books. Finally the members of the Supreme Councll, acting in unison with the trustees appointed under Mr. Smith's will and George H. Lamar, attorney for the estate, unanimously agreed after many conferences and delibera- tions that the collection should be housed and set apart in the long room of the south hall of its temple in Washington. Subsequently, the collection in its | entirety was delivered in 1918 to| John H. Cowles, grand commander of the Supreme Council, as custodian of the temple. In 1919 the collec(lon.} intact, in fulfillment of its late | owner's wish was made freely avail- | able to the general public. Over the doorway to the room which houses it is this inscription: “Robert Burns, First Poet Laureate of Free | Masonry. The Smith Collection of Burnsiana Collected and Donated by | Willilam R. Smith, 32 Degree, of Wash- ington, D. C.” In the sancity of the mellow room set apart by Masonry to house the | poems it is now possible under the | guidance of William L. Boyden, who | has for 43 years been the librarian of the Supreme Council, to leave be- hind all thought of the world with- out and commune with the spirit of Burns, most human of all the world's great writers. The books are arranged chronologi- cally by editions in so far as possible, then by undated editions, for as is| well known, many of the rare and well-known editions are without date, and then by the place of their publi- cation. Boyden is Washington born and bred | and knew Mr. Smith and his famous Burnsiana collection long before if came to be housed under his jurisdic tion. So, with him steering me from | one fascinating volume to another and | elaborating upon its background or | calling my attention to the various interesting and rare engravings, | photograchs and facsimilies which are also a part of the collection, time ap- parently ceased to function for me. When I finally left the world of Burns behind me it was to discover to my embarrassment that my visit had not only. prolonged itself far beyond what | it should have in Boyden's day, but undoubtedly absorbed his luncheon period as well. 84-Page Dated Editions. The dated editions occupy 84 pages in the collection’s printed catologue, | and the undated no less than 17. These editions are of all sizes and shapes printed upon all types of| paper and bound in all sorts of ways. | Evidently they were also in all| manner of degree of preservation | | when they first came into Mr. Smith's | hands. From the pages of some volumes there even yet continues to flutter out, as there did the day of | my visit, a hitherto undiscovered re- | ceipted bill rendered Mr. Smith for | the repair of certain books in the col- | lection. This latest one to come to| light was from the Gibson Bros., lo- | " ENROLL NOW FOR LESSONS IN Swedish-Dutch PERSIAN RUSSIAN Famous Berlitz Conver: Berlitz School of Lan 1115 Conn. Ave. ages.

It acknowledges the payment of “$4.90 for repairing 18 volumes miscellaneous Burns poems.” . ‘The range of bindings is from beautifully tooled calf leather, ex- emplifying the finest workmanship of the bookbinder's art to frugally set- up paper-backed volumes. An excép- tonally beautiful example of ‘“tree” calf binding is that on the cover of a volume of Burns' poems of the year 1808 printed in Glasgow by W. D. McEenzie. A valuable volume in the collection is one printed in Edinburgh in 1786 for T. Cadell and W. Davies of London and Willlam Creech of Edinburgh. An edition printed in Dublin April 4, 1787, from that of William Gilbert, Great George's Street, uses {'s for &'s as do many of these old volumes, The names with which many of these prized editions are inscribed as well as the book-plates of their one-time owners adds much to their value and interest. Additional books of the Burns era containing the works of prominent authors of the time that Burns might possibly have known about and perused, also make an interesting supplementation in themselves to the collection proper. Busts of Burns and his contem- poraries as well as numerous pictures and engravings likewise add to the general interest. The engravings in every instance tell a graphic story. One after the painting by Stewart Watson shows Burns as a member of the Canongate Kilwining Lodge of Edinburgh just ¢ | after he was made the poet of Free- jasonry in the year 1787. It is of particular interest and value too be- cause in each case the figures are | actual historical likenesses of lodge | members. Shown in Masonic Apron. Burns, engagingly voung and slen- | der, is shown with the high, frilled neckpiece of the time in knee breeches, wearing his Masonic apron tied over the line of his white westcoat. He holds a rolled scroll, evidently his Masonic laureation, in his righ hand. Other lodge members appear in either attitudes of great interest or of half- concealed amazement that this youth- ful associate of theirs should be so honored. ;i Another engraving of absorbing in- terest is that depicting Burns in Edin- burgh in this same notable year, 1787, reading his “The Winter's Night,” be- fore a literary gathering at the Duch- ess of Gordon's. Still another steel engraving in the collection which compels attention, is that showing the meeting of the two great Scotish authors, Burns and Scott, in Sciennes House, Edinburgh, the residence of Prof. Adam Ferguson. Scott, a timid lad of 15, eagerly wist- ul, looks admiringly at a responsive Burns, in the heyday of his fame. Years later, Scott wrote of Burns in connection with this encounter, “I never saw such another eye in a hu- man head, though I have seen most of | the distinguished men in my time.” As a true lover of Americana, Mr. Boyden brought to my attention sev- eral rare and very valuable American editions of Burns' poems. Among them is a quaint Philadelphia one, thus inscribed, “printed for and sold by Peter Stewart and George Hyde, the west side of Second street, the ninth door above Chestnut street, Philadelphia 1788. Though there were no street numbers, as is evident, in the Philadelphia of that time, Peter Stewart and George Hyde had no idea of not being specific as to their place of business.

Our nearby City of Baltimore also shares fame with Philadelphia and Alexandria in this famous collection, for one of the treasures, with a fine steel engraving of Burns for a frontis- plece, is a collection of four volumes of an almost encyclopedic nature, pub= lished by “F. Lucas Jun and J. Cushe ing. G. Palmer, printer, Baltimore, 1815." This collection, we learned, Jjustified the ambitions of its publish- ers by its successful sale far beyond the confines of even their native State. In addition to Burns' poems it in- cludes “an account of his life and & criticism on his writing to which are prefixed some observations on the character and condition of the Scot- tish peasantry.” A little undated volume, considered one of the very rarest in this world- famous collection of editions, was dear to the heart of its collector and donor, Mr. Smith, because of the fact that it had been presented to him by Mrs. Mary Cathcart Ransdell, the youngest child of Andrew Cathcart and Ellen loway, Scotland, where Burns first saw the light of day. Oddly enough, Mrs. Ransdell came across this copy of her fellow Scot's poem in a little out-of-the-way shop in Dresden, Ger- many, and without full awareness of its value, thought immediately of it as giving pleasure to Mr. Smith. The tiniest edition in the collection is exactly 1}; inches by one-half inch. | In the little case in which it reposes, there is also fitted a powerful minia- ture reading glass for those who de- | | sire to peruse it. | Necessarily an article of this type‘ can only graze the surface concerning | the contents of this, one of the most famous and complete collections of | Burnsiana in all the world. But in this, the natal month of Burns, be you book antiquarian, lover of the un- usual, or simply an eager Washing- ton visitor limited to a quick glance | at its famous treasures, slip in to the | Temple of the Scottish Rite Supreme | Council. Here you may see first-hand, | | as nowhere else on this continent, cer- | tain editions of Robert Burns, who wrote “Tam O' Shanter” in a single day and of whom it has been justly | ‘um. “he was the poet of homely hu- | | man nature, not half so homely or | |’prosaic as it seems." | o S— Miss Chase to Speak.
