Fu n d T E Shakespeare was established in October, 1 8 61 f ollo i n —1 w . , to accomplish the g objects , The purchase of the Gardens of Shakespeare at New 2 . d Place . The purchase of the remain er of the

- 8 Birth place Estate . . The purchase of Anne ’ Hathaway s Cottage , with an endowment for a di t l ’ 4 . r e e . G s custo an The pu chase of y Copyhold ,

- - n 5 . Stratford o Avon . The purchase of any other

- on - properties , at or near Stratford Avon , that either formerly belonged to Shakespeare , or are intimately connected with the memories of his life . 6 . The calendering and preservation of those records at ’ - on - Stratford Avon which illustrate the Poet s life , or the social life and history of Stratford - ou - Avon in

7 . m his time . And The erection and endow ent of a

- on - Public Library and Museum at Stratford Avon . The list of objects to be accomplished appeared r e to be so formidable , that the project was garded in many quarters as chimerical . Ne ve r t h e i n less , the few years which have elapsed since the t h e i m establishment of Fund , three of the most

' portant of the above -named objects have been nearly completed , and , amongst them , the formation of the vi CONTENTS .

i valuable L brary and Museum , the contents of which are ina dequately described in the followin g pages . The permanency of this important collection has been carefu lly secured . The Library and Museum have been conveyed to the Corporation of Stratford on - Avon , upon trust to place their management under the control of a Board , consisting of the Lord Lieu o f tenant the County , the High Steward of the

Borough , the Mayor and Aldermen , the Vicar , the

Master of the Grammar School , and others . A satisfactory classification of a collection of miscellaneous Shakespeariana is impracticable . In a the following Cat logue , which has been compiled

. a by Mr Clarence Hopper , the only arr ngement attempted has reference to the names of the va r i Ou s donors .

Presents to the Museum , or subscriptions to the

Fund , will be thankfully received by Mr . J . O . 1 1 . Tr u n t e r e W . S . Halliwell , No , g Road , London , , f f & c . b e and o ers of books , , for purchase will also acceptable .

F E R A B U RY , 1868 . M I S S W H E L E R .

For upwards of half a century the late Mr . Wheler dili gently occupied himself in the completion of one of the most remarkable local antiquarian collections ever formed by a single individual . The following

- pages , being merely a brief hand list of these treasures , convey a very inadequate idea of their importance and value ; but as the construction of a more elaborate calendar would have required a con si d e r a ble time , it was thought that a sketch of the contents of the collection would be an acceptable 0 ering to the public , especially to the inhabitants of Stratford , who will not fail to appreciate the generosity of Miss Wheler in presenting the Town with so important a gift , and the judgment which dictated the place of its locality . It wou ld not only have been sad , and an injury to the local topographical literature , had these collections , formed by so much labour and anxiety , ever been dispersed ; but they would have lost much of their interest and value had they been allowed to depart from Stratford . The late Robert Bell Wheler was born at Strat l st 1 785 w ford on January , , in the house in Old To n in which he continued to reside during his life , and 8 PRESENTED BY

Hi s 1 5t h 1 85 7 72 . where he died on July , , aged father , Mr . Robert Wheler , his predecessor in his

f . profession of a solicitor , entered the o fice of Mr

dl - Bra ey , the Town Clerk , and a solicitor of large 1 5 di 7 7 . practice , in January , He ed in August , 1 8 1 9 77 . , aged His son , the object of this notice , was articled to him , but , unlike most articled clerks , he served no part of his time in London , merely going there for abou t a month at the time of his f f admission . His a ection for Stratford , and love for Sh a ke s e r i a n p pursuits , were so intense that he never

seemed to be happy out of his native town ; so that , in the whole course of his long life , he spent very little p ortion of his time indeed out of Stratford . In early life he was a member of the Stratford volunteer corps , and he afterwards became a commissioned - 0 1 06 1 8 ; l 3 lieutenant and quarte master , in the third regiment of the Warwickshire local militia stationed at Stratford , m which capacity he was much esteemed

0 i by his brother cers and by Colonel Sheldon , then in command of the regiment . ’ Wh e le r . s Mr first work , and that by which he is chiefly known , is the admirably compiled History ” - - and Antiquities of Stratford upon Avon , published 1 0 in 8 6 . His next separate production was a ” - - 1 8 14 Guide to Stratford upon Avon , , one which w is well termed by a distinguished riter , a very ” superior book to many which bear a similar title , H n t e r on h a ke s e r e 1 0 u S a . 7 . p , i This was followed , 1 824 ll in , by his exce ent sketch of the history of ’ - Shakespeare s Birth place . Besides these works he was the writer of several ar ticles of interest in the ’ Gentleman s Magazine , and other periodicals .

His published works , however , form but a small 9 MISS WHELE R.

part of the results of his labours , the extent of which will only be duly estimated by the careful examiner of the present collection . Upon his autograph manuscripts in this collection will henceforth rest his principal title to literary distinction , and in securing them for ever to Stratford , his surviving sister , Miss Anne Wheler , has paid the best possible tribute to his memory , and realized his own most probable aspirations . 1 4 . . . Collectanea de Stratford . to MS This marvellous example of the results of the u n rivalled industry and accuracy of the late Mr . Wheler , 586 in quarto pages , so minutely written , that a transcript in ordinary call igraphy would fill half- a dozen volumes of a like size , well deserves to be placed in the fore - front of this li ttle catalogue ; and the r ather that we are enabled to add an excellent index to the principal contents of the volume , from ll the equa y accurate pen of Mr .

K THE SHA ESPEARE FUND .

i n 1 861 This Fund originated , in an emergency which threatened the integri ty of the site of New

Place and the Gardens of Shakespeare . Its objects 5 are enumerated at p . , but the main designs at present are to complete the work commenced at . New Place and to increase the ef ficiency of the

Library and Museum . The other unattained objects of the Fund must remain in abeyance until these are li satisfactorily accomp shed . ’ A small port ion of Shakespeare s Gardens at New ’ Place remains to be purchased . The custodian s ir house requ es a new front , and a considerable expendi ture is n ecessary to lay out the grounds properly and surr ound them w i th substantial iron

fencing . Independently of the question of an endow i ment for a custodian , the sum wanted mmediately

for these pu r poses cannot fall much short of £2000. The first establishment of the Library and Museum

- is due to the well tim ed li berality of Mr . C . Holte A e Bracebridge of therstone Hall , who kindly plac d the di lapidated rooms of the house adjoining the Birth -Place in Henley Street in a fit state for the u i reception of cases . When once a s table repository a a c c u m u was ccessible , presents of great value soon 1 74 H SP T E S AKE EARE FUND .

. ll lated The rapid progress of the co ection is , n l di l however , mai y due to the unwearied igence and

. . 0 exertions of Mr W . Hunt , whose position at Stratford - on - Avon has e nabled him to secu r e a large number of interesting objects which would di l otherwise have been spersed or ost . The manage ment of the li brary and Museum is now vested (see 6 . B p ) in a oard of Trustees . The amount hitherto received on behalf of the a £41 88 Fund mounts to , but it is hoped that this sum will be rapidly i ncreased when the objects are more generally known . The assistance which no doubt cou l d be derived from local committees and di l secretaries , concerts , bazaars , rea ngs and theatrica performances , has barely yet been invoked . The U nited States , where Shaksperian readers and

l - on -A pi grims to Stratford von are so numerous , have l as yet made no Sign , and probab y are unacquainted with the progress made and desired . A few earnest workers in the cause would speedily raise the comparatively small amount at present

gently requ i red . The progress which has thus far been made is due in a great measure to the zeal and to the con

t r ibu t i on s . s of a few Mis Burdett Coutts , with m u n i fi c e n c e £600 unvarying , contributed and the sum of £2585 has been raised by twenty other 1 subscribe rs of £ 00 and upwards . In addition to l these gifts , and to those enumerated in the fol owing l ists , the Fund has indirectly benefited by gratuitous

Ar u r - a t - la . w services . Mr . th J Wood, barrister , has declined fees for valuable legal assistance . Mr .

l a n d - Edward Gibbs , the accomp ished well known

- on - architect of Stratford Avon , presented the amount
