some other kind of pocket note-book. The first one
he had of this kind was sent to him by Miss Savage in a letter of 18th
April, 1882, from which the following is an extract; the words in square
brackets are a note by Butler on Miss Savage's letter.

"I send you a little present; the leaves tear out, so that when you
leave your note-book at the "Food of Health" [I don't remember ever
going to the "Food of Health." I do not know the place. S. B.] or
elsewhere, as you sometimes have done, you will not lose so much, and
then you can put the torn leaves into one of the little drawers in
your cabinet which is just made for such documents." (_Memoir_, I.
373.)

The cabinet she refers to was one of the two Japanese cabinets, the next
items, which he had bought at Neighbour's grocery and tea-shop in Oxford
Street, and which she had seen in his rooms. He used to keep stamps in
them.

One small Japanese cabinet.

One larger Japanese cabinet.

Two pen trays.

One camera lucida with table (see the _Memoir_).

One round wood-carving: a female bust.

Two large dishes, German or Swiss, which stood on his table.

One tin case holding pencils and brushes for water-colour sketching.

One tin water-bottle for sketching. One sketching camp-stool. One
sketching portfolio. One water-colour paint-box.

One sloping desk.

"I shoud explain that I cannot write unless I have a sloping desk." See
"Quis desiderio--" (_The Humour of Homer_). This is the sloping desk on
which he wrote in Clifford's Inn.

One pair of chamois horns given him by Dionigi Negri at Varallo Sesia.

One handle and webbing in which he carried his books to and from the
British Museum.

A photograph showing one wall of Butler's chambers in Clifford's Inn with
the fireplace and accompanying sketch plan.

Some of the pictures mentioned in Section I. of this Catalogue can be
identified, and also the following nine items, which are on the
mantelpiece or on the wall. The two dolls (no. 9) were destroyed by
Butler about 1898; the other eight objects are included in this
collection at St. John's.

One pair of pewter candlesticks (1).

One bust of Handel (2).

One plate, which he called "Three Acres and a Cow," because it seems to
be decorated in illustration of that catch-word (3).

Two crockery holy water holders; only one is shown in the photograph (4).

Three medallions under glass, representing, in some kind of plaster, t
