The Library of Frederick B. Adams Jr Part II Thomas Hardy. Sotheby's auction catalogue sale date: 7 November 2001
Sotheby's London auction catalogue for the sale held on 7th November 2001. Laminated illustrated wrappers 4to. 202 pp colour plates ills. Lots 370-601. From the introduction: "Fred Adams . gradually patiently and with the utmost discrimination succeeded in building up one of the greatest Hardy collections ever assembled - not the largest in sheer size but unsurpassed in its overall quality and importance.it must surely be the last such collection ever to be in private as distinct from institutional hands. Although Fred was acquiring significant Hardy editions from early on - the three original first editions of The Dynasts for example including the 1903 issue of Part First that he bought from Heffers's during his brief Cambridge University experience - he seems to have turned decisively to the collection of truly unique materials only in 1934 after he had summoned the resolution to seize a classically irresistible but "unaffordable" opportunity to acquire a long sequence of Hardy to Gosse letters that had originally been put together by T. J. Wise. He subsequently captured Hardy's youthfully purchased copies of The Boy's Own Book and Shelley's Queen Mab at the J. M. Barrie sale in 1937 and made several shrewdly judged purchases at the Hodgson sale of Hardy's library in 1938. Following the death of his friend Carroll Atwood Wilson in 1947 he actively assisted in the compilation of the two-volume posthumous catalogue of Wilson's large and various collection and was later successful in securing some of the very best of Wilson's many Hardy items including several that had been in the Grolier Club's Hardy exhibition of 1940. At the Sydney Cockerell sale in 1956 he carried off among other things the very first lot comprising the presentation set of the Wessex Edition with Hardy's own corrections in some volumes and Cockerell's insertions throughout of letters from Hardy and others. He bought also at other sales including those of the A. Edward Newton and Paul Lemperly collections and although he came away empty-handed from both of the Sothebv sales of the extraordinary Howard Bliss collection - the New York dealer Lew Feldman having swept up all the lots at the first sale and all but one at the second - he did obtain during that collection's final negotiated dispersal just those materials that he had especially coveted.Fred of course was by no means entirely dependent upon the saleroom for his acquisitions. In the nineteen-thirties and forties and even well into the post-war years there were still people around who had known worked for or corresponded with Hardy and Fred directly or indirectly gathered in much interesting material from such sources: Hardy's own working drawings for the family tombstones at Stinsford for example the originals of the Macbeth-Raeburn illustrations to the Osgood Mcllvaine "Wessex Novels" edition and programmes and script materials related to the dramatisations of Hardy's novels performed by the Dorchester amateurs known as the Hardy Players.It is scarcely surprising that such a man should have been so strongly and consistently drawn towards the more biographical and immediately' human aspects of collecting - to letters manuscripts and inscribed and association copies all categories richly represented in the present sale. Fred's basic holdings of Hardy editions from magazine printings and first editions to Clement Shorter's and Florence Hardy's privately printed pamphlets were of course extensive and very nearly comprehensive but the first editions in particular had been selected and purchased almost without exception for the sake of their inscriptions - and the personal relationships thus evoked - rather than for any significance they might have as items checked off on a "wants" list Near Fine.
