Manuscrit / Papier ancien
An interesting letter regarding a celebrated Victorian scandal. In 1884 Frederic had come to England with his wife and five children as the London correspondent of the New York TImes. He set up a second household with Kate Lyon, with whom he had a further three children. Lyons was a Christian Scientist, and when Frederic suffered a stroke in 1898, she tried to cure him by faith healing, but he died. At the instigation of Mrs Frederic, Lyon was tried for manslaughter, but was acquitted. 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly-aged, with minor traces of two tissue mounts. She begins by stating that his letter has remained unanswered due to '[h]ealth which is not very strong and an unusual pressure of letters'. She is 'somewhat puzzled what to say', but while contributing five guineas, does not wish to be put on the committee of the fund 'for poor Mrs. Frederic & her children'. She concludes: 'I much admired some sides of Mr. Frederic's talent, but circumstances disclosed at the inquest were very painful, and my mind is so far from clear on the whole subject that I should prefer not to be on the Committee'. A postscript regarding the making out of the cheque for five guineas is in another hand. Loosely inserted is a slip of paper with a manuscript note (by Fisher?) regarding the author of the letter. From a batch of papers received by Fisher in connection with the fund.

Inscription on half-title With best love from Mary s friend September 1888__ Please compare the script in this inscription with other known samples of Ward s; I have no provenace or verification of this as Ward s hand. This novel by Mary Augusta Ward writing, as she did, under her married name, Mrs. Humphrey Ward, portrayed the emotional conflict between the young pastor Elsmere and his wife, whose narrow orthodoxy brings her religious faith confounds their love; but it was the detailed discussion of intellectual conflicts of the day (geology, Darwinism, German philosophy), and its influence on Elsmere s Christian belief that made the book a best-seller. This, rather than its quality as fiction, motivated the book s exceptional popularity. It was very widely read at the time, selling over a million copies, but for the most part is now unknown except to scholars of Victorian literature. The work was criticized by British PM Gladstone. In addition Ward became known for her anti-suffragist views which, in turn, has led to a re-examination of her life if not the content or quality of her fiction. Inscribed by Author(s).

"Autograph Edition" SIGNED by Mrs. Ward. "Autograph Edition" SIGNED by Mrs. Ward. 16 volumes. Illustrated. Bound in full tan crushed morocco, t.e.g, gilt spine titles and rules in the panels and on the bands, red morocco doblures with fancy gilt corner pieces, watered silk flyleaves, the upper and lower covers with sets of seven poppies formed from blue on-lays, each with long stems terminating in small gilt hearts with gilt pointelles between, the entire design inverted below, the entire design surrounded with stylized gilt rule, double rules at the edges. The binding are quite possibly the work of Constance Karslake of the Guild of Women Binders. They are strikingly similar to the binding design on "The Centaur", illustrated on plate seven in "The Bindings of Tomorrow" by Eliot Anstruther; and the poppy tools are also strikingly similar to the tools used in a Hampstead Bindery binding in our possession which we attribute to her as well. One crown with small chip, the top edge gilt slightly damaged, all else fine - a stunning set.
