This project report relates to The English
Novel, 1770–1829: A Bibliographical Survey of Prose Fiction
Published in the British Isles, general editors Peter Garside,
James Raven, and Rainer Schöwerling, 2 vols (Oxford: OUP, 2000).
In particular it offers fresh commentary on the entries in the
second volume, which was co-edited by Peter Garside and Rainer
Schöwerling, with the assistance of Christopher Skelton-Foord
and Karin Wünsche, and involved close co-operation between Cardiff
University and Paderborn University in Germany. The present
report is the second Update in what is intended to be a series
of annual Reports, each featuring information that has come
to light in the preceding year as a result of activities in
the Centre for Editorial and Intertextual Research and through
contributions sent by interested individuals outside Cardiff.
The entries below are organised in a way that
matches the order of material in the English Novel, 1770–1829.
While making reference to any relevant changes that may have
occurred in Update 1, the ‘base’ it refers to is the printed
Bibliography and not the preceding report. Sections A and B
concern authorship, with the first of these proposing changes
to the attribution as given in the printed Bibliography, and
the second recording the discovery of new information of interest
that has nevertheless not led presently to new attributions.
Sections C includes three additional titles which match the
criteria for inclusion and should ideally have been incorporated
in the printed Bibliography, while the last two sections involve
information such as is usually found in the Notes field
of entries, and those owning copies of the printed Bibliography
might wish (as in the case of the earlier categories) to amend
entries accordingly. An element of colour coding has been used
to facilitate recognition of the nature of changes, with red
denoting revisions and additions to existing entries in the
Bibliography, and the additional titles discovered being picked
out in blue. References numbers (e.g.
1806: 12) are the same as those in the English Novel, 1770–1829;
when found as cross references these refer back to the original
Bibliography, unless accompanied with ‘above’ or ‘below’, in
which case a cross reference within the present report is intended.
Abbreviations match those listed at the beginning volume 2 of
the English Novel, though in a few cases these are spelled
out more fully for the convenience of present readers.
This report was prepared by Peter Garside, with
significant inputs of information from Drs Jacqueline Belanger
and Sharon Ragaz, largely through their work on our Database
of Fiction 1800–29 project, and from Dr Anthony Mandal, primarily
through his work on extending the bibliographical record of
fiction to 1836. Information was also generously communicated
by a number of individuals, notably: Mr Roger Bettridge, of
the Buckinghamshire County Record Office; Mr Peter Doyle, a
descendant of George Matcham; Professors Rolf Loeber and Magda
Stouthamer-Loeber, from Pittsburgh University; Professor Pam
Perkins, University of Manitoba; Professor David Skilton, Cardiff
University; Professor Wil Verhoeven, University of Groningen;
and Mr Caspar Wintermans, The Hague. As usual the team has greatly
benefited from its association with Projekt Corvey at Paderborn
University, particularly in this instance through information
received from Verena Ebbes and Angela Koch. Thanks are also
due the trustees of the National Library of Scotland for permission
to quote from manuscript material in their care.

Notes. Originally attributed with
reservation to GUÉNARD, Elisabeth, and considered as a trans.
of her Mystères sur mystères, ou les onze chevaliers
(Paris, 1807). Caspar Wintermans of The Hague, Netherlands,
writes in a personal letter, however, that having consulted
a rare copy of Mystères sur mystères from the Library
of the Castle of Oron, Vaud, Switzerland, he has ascertained
that it is completely different from Mystery upon Mystery.
The present title, and two other novels in the same chain (see
1807: 25, 1811: 36), most probably then are the work of an anonymous
English author. ECB dates Dec 1807, and lists under title
only.

1808: 51 , though no French original for this title was discovered.
See new note to 1808: 51, above, for the great likelihood that
this is by an unknown English author. It now also seems more
likely that La Bannière noire; ou le siège de Clagenforth
(1820), though attributed by BN to Guénard, is in fact a French
translation of this title.

B: New Information Relating
to Authorship, but not Presently Leading to Further Attribution
Changes
1803: 75 [WHITFIELD, Henry], LEOPOLD; OR,
THE BASTARD. The ‘Correspondence’ section at the end of September
1803 number of the Monthly Review includes the following
notice: ‘The Rev. H. Whitfield requests us to correct the surmise
introduced in our last number, p. 424, by stating that he is
not the author of the Novel intitled Leopold’
(n.s. vol. 42, p. 112). This in turn casts doubt most immediately
on But Which? or Domestic Grievances of the Wolmore Family.
By the Author of “Leopold” (1807: 67); though other ‘Whitfield’
titles are also perhaps worth now questioning again (see, e.g.,
1816: 58). The only title attributed directly to Henry Whitfield
on the original title-page is A Picture from Life: or, the
History of Emma Tankerville and Sir Henry Moreton. By Henry
Whitfield, M.A. (1804: 70).
1805: 11 ANON, ROSETTA, A NOVEL. BY A LADY,
WELL KNOWN IN THE FASHIONABLE WORLD. This title is tentatively
attributed to Eliza Parsons by the Flowers of Literature
for 1804, in a footnote addendum to ‘A List of Mrs Parson’s
Publications’: ‘We believe, but on this point we cannot be certain,
that Mrs Parson’s has written “The Wise-ones Bubbled; or, Lovers
Triumphant,” in two volumes, duodecimo – and another novel,
intitled “Rosetta” ’ (p. 27).
1806: 43 LATHY, T[homas] P[ike], THE INVISIBLE
ENEMY; OR, THE MINES OF WIELITSKA. A POLISH LEGENDARY ROMANCE.
Casper Wintermans indicates in a personal letter that this is
an unacknowledged trans. of Jean-Louis Lacroix de Niré’s Ladouski
et Floriska (Paris, 1801). Currently still under Lathy’s
name, until proximity of the two texts can be more fully ascertained.
1809: 24 [?ENGLISH, John], MODERN TIMES;
OR, ANECDOTES OF THE ENGLISH FAMILY. Reattributed to George
LIPSCOMB in Update 1. Roger Bettridge, who provided the information,
subsequently writes of this title that ‘John, or Jack, English
is a character in the novel, who is “unmasked” as the author
in the denouement, a charge which he at pains to deny! Lipscombe
was clearly continuing the [?Shandean] joke’.
1809: 41 LATHY, T[homas] P[ike], *LOVE,
HATRED, AND REVENGE; A SWISS ROMANCE. Casper Wintermans indicates
in a personal letter that this might turn out to be an unacknowledged
trans. of François Pagès’s Amour, haine et vengeance (1799),
but no further information about this title has been discovered.
1820: 7 ANON, NICE DISTINCTIONS: A TALE.
A review in the Dublin Magazine, 1 (May 1820), ends with
the following short paragraph: ‘We now take our farewell of
D—l’s NICE DISTINCTIONS; but we sincerely hope that we may again
see characters as nicely distinguished as this work promises’
(p. 378). One suggestion ventured by Rolf Loeber is that the
partly disguised name is Dowdall, but no further information
has been discovered.
1821: 4 CONCEALMENT. A NOVEL. Attributed
by Wolff (Item 7433) in a note to Mary FLETCHER (1802–?),
but on a misreading of his source from Notes and Queries
215 (October 1970), 382–3. The article in question, ‘The
Authorship of “Concealment” ’, by Dorothy R. Scheele, unequivocally
concerns the novel of the same title published by Bentley in
1837, which on her evidence is clearly attributable to Mary
Fletcher (later Richardson), the youngest daughter Eliza Fletcher
(1770–1858), the wife of the Scottish lawyer Archibald Fletcher
and herself leader of an Edinburgh intellectual-literary circle.
After the publication of this 1837 novel, in a letter of September
1838, Eliza Fletcher wrote to Allan Cunningham: ‘He [Bentley]
offered to take the risk of the publication and to share the
profits with the author – at the end of a year and a half he
sends her an acct. charging between £30 & £40 for advertizing
the Book. – ten percent upon the copies sold – which after deducting
the Expense of paper and printing leaves her a profit of 10/!!!
So much for a Lady’s authorship. – He owns to the sale of between
200 and 300 Copies. I mention this in confidence – you will
not allow it to go further’ (National Library of Scotland, MS
2617, f.90). Along with CONCEALMENT, OR THE CASCADE OF LLANTWARRYHN
(1801: 27), by the shadowy Mrs E. M. Foster, this means there
were at least three novels with the lead title Concealment
published between 1800 and 1837. Thanks are due to Pam Perkins
for drawing attention to the letter from Eliza Fletcher.
1824: 8 ANON, THE HUMAN HEART. Entered
under EDLMANN, Frederick J., in Wolff (Item 1999), but on the
rather shaky grounds of a presentation copy with the bookplate
of Frederick J. Edlmann, Hawkwood, and an inscription in hand
“Maryann Edlmann from her affectionate brother, the Author’.
As Wolff conceded, Edlmann may be the married name of the inscriber’s
sister, in which case the book remains anonymous; but there
is also the possibility that the inscription is fanciful of
part of a family game. In these circumstances, any ascription
to Edlmann must be highly speculative.
1825: 23 [?CROWE, Eyre Evans or ?PHIPPS,
Constantine Henry, Marquis of Normanby], THE ENGLISH IN ITALY.
A recently purchased copy, owned by Peter Garside, has ‘by Eyre
Evans Crowe’ written beneath the title in the first volume,
apparently in a contemporary hand. Further evidence in favour
of Crowe’s authorship appears in the Bentley Publishing Records,
where ‘The English at Home, By the Author of “The English in
Italy,” etc.’, entered as published on 27 May 1830, is given
as ‘By Eyre Evans Crowe, son of a military officer of the same
name, who received £500 for the copyright’: see A List of
the Principal Publications Issued from New Burlington Street
during the Year 1830 (London: Richard Bentley and Son, 1893).
The same note continues: ‘Mr. Crowe was French Correspondent
of the Morning Chronicle, and afterwards Editor, for
some time, of the Daily News. “The English at Home” was
preceded by two other novels from his pen, “The English in France,”
and “The English in Italy.” Mr. Crowe died in 1868.’ It is also
worth noting that the same attribution is found in the earlier
manuscript Catalogue of Bentley Publications held by the British
Library (BL Add MSS 46637), covering the years 1829–1837. The
evidence in favour of Crowe’s rather than Phipps’s authorship
of this title, as well as of Historiettes (1827: 27)
and The English in France (1828: 34), now seems to approach
the overwhelming.
1827: 13 [ANWYL, Edward Trevor], TALES
OF WELSH SOCIETY AND SCENERY. The Bodleian pre-1920 catalogue
attributes this to Thomas RICHARDS, Surgeon. If this were accepted,
then it would have a knock-on effect with regard to YOUTH AND
MANHOOD OF EDWARD ELLIS (1829: 14), effectively the same work,
and open up the possibility that Edward Trevor ANWYL, as found
on the title-page of REGINALD TREVOR; OR, THE WELSH LOYALISTS
(1829: 13), is a pseudonym.
1827: 28 [?CROWE, Eyre Evans or ?PHIPPS,
Constantine Henry, Marquis of Normanby], HISTORIETTES, OR TALES
OF CONTINENTAL LIFE, BY THE AUTHOR OF “THE ENGLISH IN ITALY.”
See entry on 1825: 23, above.
1827: 60 [SCARGILL, William Pitt], BLUE-STOCKING
HALL. Re-attributed in Update 1, along with TALES OF MY TIME
(1829: 74), to Miss ?Anne CHETWODE, on the basis of Rolf Loeber
and Magda Stouthamer-Loeber, 18th–19th Century Irish Fiction
Newsletter, January 1998, No. 1. In the Bentley Publishing
Records, however, authorship of the New edition of 1830 is ascribed
to ‘Mrs. WILMOT’: see A List of the Principal Publications
Issued from New Burlington Street during the Year 1830 (London:
Richard Bentley and Son, 1893), where the month of publication
for the New Edition is given as August [1830]. A note there
also states: ‘A reference to Mrs. Wilmot, or Clifton, will be
found in Bentley’s Miscellany, volume xvi, page 38’. It is also
worth noting that in the earlier manuscript Catalogue of Bentley
Publications held by the British Library (BL Add MSS 46637)
the name of William Pitt Scargill was first entered against
this publication, and then replaced with ‘Miss Wilmot’ written
in pencil. The name of Mrs Wilmot is expanded to that of WILMOT,
afterwards BRAND, Barbarina Baroness Dacre (1768–1854), in Michael
Turner’s Index and Guide to the Lists of Publications of
Richard Bentley & Son 1829–1898 (Bishop Storford:
Chadwyck-Healey Ltd, 1975), p. 218. This title, however, is
not attributed to Barbarina Brand/Dacre/Wilmot in DNB, CBEL3,
or FC, and there is no mention of any involvement with this
or related works in A Family Chronicle Derived from the Notes
and Letters Selected by Barbarina, the Hon. Lady Grey, ed.
Gertrude Lyster (London: John Murray, 1908). In view of all
the evidence it seems best to stay with the re-attribution to
Miss Chetwode.
1828: 34 [?CROWE, Eyre Evans or ?PHIPPS,
Constantine Henry, Marquis of Normanby], THE ENGLISH IN FRANCE,
BY THE AUTHOR OF “THE ENGLISH IN ITALY.” See entry on 1825:
23 above.
1829: 74 [SCARGILL, William Pitt], TALES
OF MY TIME, BY THE AUTHOR OF BLUE-STOCKING HALL. Re-attributed
in Update 1, along with BLUE-STOCKING HALL (1827: 60), to Miss
?Anne CHETWODE, on the basis of Rolf Loeber and Magda Stouthamer-Loeber,
18th–19th Century Irish Fiction Newsletter, January 1998,
No. 1. In the Bentley Publishing Records, however, authorship
is ascribed to ‘Mrs. WILMOT’: see A List of the Principal
Publications Issued from New Burlington Street during the last
three months of the year 1829 (London: Richard Bentley and
Son, 1893), where the date of publication is given as 23 October.
The note there also states parenthetically ‘Wrongly attributed
in the Bodleian Catalogue to Mrs. Loudon, and in the British
Museum catalogue to William Pitt Scargill’. The name of Mrs
Wilmot is expanded to that of WILMOT, afterwards BRAND, Barbarina
Baroness Dacre (1768–1854), in Michael Turner’s Index and
Guide to the Lists of Publications of Richard Bentley &
Son 1829–1898 (Bishop Storford: Chadwyck-Healey Ltd,
1975), p. 218. This title, however, is not attributed to Barbarina
Brand/Dacre/Wilmot in DNB, CBEL3, or FC, and there is no mention
any involvement with this or related works in A Family Chronicle
Derived from the Notes and Letters Selected by Barbarina, the
Hon. Lady Grey, ed. Gertrude Lyster (London: John Murray,
1908). In view of all the evidence it seems best to stay with
the re-attribution to Miss Chetwode.

(BI BL, C, Dt, E).
Notes.
Correctly attributable to William Shepherd , Rector of Margaret
Roding (Essex), and wrongly in NSTC to William Shepherd (1768–1847),
Unitarian Minister. The Revd Shepherd in question was author
of Liturgical Considerations (1824), and almost certainly
a co-author with George Wilkins of Body and Soul (1822:
81) and The Village Pastor (1825: 88). For these last
two titles, see also Update 1. Preface states of the author’s
intentions: ‘His simple object is to convey instruction in a
pleasing manner, and maintain fairly and charitably that Doctrine
which is accordant to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to the
Established Church, which he firmly and conscientiously believes
founded on that rock of ages’ (p. ix).The constituent tales
are: ‘The Gipsy Girl’, pp. [3] –40; ‘Religious Offices’ pp.
[43] –95; ‘Enthusiasm’, pp. [99] –148; ‘Romanism’, pp. [151]–197;
‘Rashness’ [201] –250; ‘De Lawrence’ [253] –312. ‘Romanism’
in particular takes an anti-Emancipationist stance. ‘Appendix’,
pp. [317] –24 is purely theological in content.
