Hence the numerous Anglo-Saxon MSS. in his library, and the splendid collection of State papers, relating to England, Scotland, and France, contained in the dress marked Caligula, and in many other places. Cotton and Bodley were good friends, and not only shared the same tastes, but sympathised actively with each other's work.
"Did you say you used to live with Bodley, the hermit?" "Yes." "My folks used to know him. He was rather a strange man after he got shot by accident." "Yes, but he was kind." "Are you his son?" "No. He said I was his nephew. But I never found out much about that." "Oh, yes, I remember something about that. He had a brother who lost his wife and several children. Are you that man's son?"
I looked about through Napa and Sonoma Counties, and finally came to San Jose, where I purchased the farm I now own, near Hillsdale, of Bodley & McCabe, for which I paid $4,000. In the fall of the same year my old friend W.M. Stockton of Los Angeles Co. persuaded me to come down and pay him a visit. His wife had died and he felt very lonely.
He says he can buy off Bodley and then why, then devil take it!" he said, vacantly, with heavy eyes, "then then oh yes!" He smiled a maudlin smile. "Oh yes! I shall be a great a great great man I'll be rep rep sentive ofs ofs dear pe pe." His head fell like a lump upon the cushion of the sofa, and he breathed heavily, until the solemn, dark, formal parlor smelled like a bar-room.
The service which he rendered to letters during the last five years of his life, amid ten thousand distractions and vexations, increase the regret with which we think on the many years which he had wasted, to use the words of Sir Thomas Bodley, "on such study as was not worthy such a student."
For a time, this havoc of the monastic libraries went on unchecked, but during the reign of Elizabeth a reaction set in, and there arose a little knot of men who had the good sense to recognise the value of these memorials of the past, and to treasure up what still remained; and the next generation produced such men as Thomas Bodley, and Robert Cotton.
As Uncle Jason says, what's money when his precious life is in danger?" In almost the same breath, however, she wished that daddy could send her more money. For Lottie Drugg had gone to Boston. Her father had given over the violin to Joe Bodley, and that young speculator paid the storekeeper the remainder of the hundred dollars agreed upon.
The hermit's boy was tired out by the day's outing, yet he pulled a fairly quick stroke and it was not long before he reached the dock at which he and Hiram Bodley were in the habit of leaving their boat.
Bodley did no more by his will, which is dated January 2, 1613, and is all in his own handwriting, than he had bound himself to do in his lifetime, and I feel as certain as I can feel about anything that happened nearly 300 years ago, that Mr. Gent, of Gloucester Hall, did owe Bodley money, though, as many another member of the University of Oxford has done with his debts, he forgot all about it.
Bodley some advice on an article the latter had been requested to write for the "Quarterly Review," on "Provincial France," before he had had any opportunity of studying the French provinces. Here is part of the letter: "AUTUN, SAUNE-ET-LOIRE. June 11, 1890. "MY DEAR SIR, It is a laudable, though an extraordinary desire on your part to know something about the subject you have to treat.
