Hardcover. Etat : Very Good+. First Edition, First Printing. 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 29 cm. Square 4to. Hardcover. Publisher's original gray cloth over boards, stamped in silver lettering to spine and uppper cover. Book Condition: signs of handling, lightly toned at foredges and spine. Interior unmarked, virtually pristine. Undoubtedly published for internal company use only, marketing and/or institutional memory. Scarce; worldcat shows one institutional holding at Stanford University. Not really a true corporate history, the book simply reviews 40 of the company's past projects, briefly summarizing the gist of each project in as few words possible with accompanying diagrams, charts, and color photography. It's fascinating stuff, beautifully done. Exponent, Inc. does post large system failure analysis and the've been busy. After the dust settles it makes sense that everyone is going to want to know why, exactly, and apparently, Exponent, Inc. is just the company to figure that out. Projects include: Crash of Turkish Airlines 981, Kansas City Arena Roof Collapse, The Big Dig (massive over budget and 10 years delayed), Oklahoma City Bombing, World Trade Center (9/11), etc etc. Lacking even an ISBN number, a pretty good indicator of lack of interest in gaining public exposure.

A total of 8pp of closely-typed text. In good condition. Also present are an additional four-page copy on pink paper of the first letter and its enclosure. First letter signed 'Kevin Bailey', two others signed 'Kevin B.' aq2 One letter lacks its last page and signature. Long discursive letter, with Bailey discussing: his first meeting with Fry at the Actors Centre, Swindon; his sense of inadequacy in the face of Fry's other correspondents ('that letter from Lord Olivier is now firmly fixed in my memory'); a trip to Oxford bookshops; his discovery of Fry's work as a student at York; his admiration for the film maker Peter Greenaway; his desire that Fry might send 'a poem or two for use in the next issue of HQ' ('I can offer you a good audience. HQ has a most appreciative readership here and abroad and is taken by university and institutional libraries: New York, California, Moscow. even HMP Norwich (sent free of charge, just in case I ever need friends on the inside)'; his retirement from 'education work' ('at the age of forty-four I felt that twenty years of compromise between wage-slavery and editing and writing was enough') and pension; his recent poetry and editing work ('Shimon Weinroth, the Prof. of English at the University of Jerusalem has engaged me to check-over [sic] and edit his book of new poems due out next year. Small stuff but it pays a bill or two.'); his work at the Actors' Centre; his interest in astronomy ('often meeting Patric Moore at Meetings of the British Astronomical Association'); his 'part-time job with the charity MENCAP'; his friend the 'fine and innovative poet' Mike Hogan, an admirer of Fry's work ('Faber have just taken up his six-book poem'); Gary Bills, 'who is being published by Harry Chambers at Peterloo next year'; the recognition of a magazine's poets being a 'sign of maturation'; his 'cash flow hit' and the 'realities of tyrying to be a "proper" writer'; his desire to visit Fry; his 'faith' ('a private matter and very much sans "religion"'); his belief in 'the Art first and the ego second'; his admiration for 'Edward Thomas (I have a bush of Old Man taken as a cutting from the original and given to me by "Annie" Thomas, daughter the younger, at Eastbury - I am a Berkshire man; born at Wallingford and farmers for half a millennium at Yattendon. Robert Bridges was, I think, my paternal Grandmother's great uncle.)'. In the first letter (11 November 1998) he asks Fry, with his 'lifetime of experience to share', to 'set down, say, five golden rules for the poetic playwright [.] I feel like Morgana le Fey asking Merlin for the secret of Making. I promise to use the magic wisely.' The first letter is accompanied by two pages of dialogue between 'Edward' and 'Helen', with autograph note: 'A small selection from one of my still-born "Verse" plays. | K. B.' (Copies of the letter, dated 10 November 1998, and enclosure, are present.) In the second letter, 11 February 1999, Bailey thanks Fry for sending the poem 'Caedmon Construed' for publication in his magazine. He is 'very willing to use it', but 'would still like to use the speech from "Venus" - partly because I happen to think it very good indeed but also because I wanted to encourage HQ readers to seek out the play, and from that your other plays. As you know, although HQ, like all small press magazines, has a relatively small circulation, it is read by the "right" people in the right places all over the world. It is taken by a number of UK and US university libraries and "others". It never does any harm to advertise ones work. I'm pretty sure it would generate interest from American and Indian subscribers (strangely enough recently I have had a lot of correspondence from India, Turkey, and Goa and can only assume that HQ's equivalent of Typhoid Mary - an enthusiastic reader - is journeying in the Middle East and spreading an infectious enthusiasm for the magazine. Even a letter from Prof. R. K. Singh head of the Indian School of Mines in Dhanba.

Bedum, zonder jaar [circa 1985]. Softcover. [Typografie / Typography [Typografie] Small Press [Small Press - Uitgaven] ].

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, with rusting from a paperclip to both leaves. Addressed to 'Mr Texeira [sic] de Mattos' and signed 'S John E. C. Hankin'. He thanks him for the cheque and is sorry to hear that the recipient's 'great project has come to nought - at least for the moment'. He expects that de Mattos saw 'the Bankruptcy of the New Saturday duly chronicled? You were a true prophet. I gather it will pay nothing in the £'. The New Saturday was a short-lived newspaper, going to the wall after a few issues in 1897.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Stuart was at the time actor-manager of the Adelphi Theatre, London. Both items in good condition, lightly aged, and folded for postage. ONE: 3pp, 12mo (the third page carrying a postscript written lengthwise). Bifolium. Begins: 'Dear Sir / I have a new play which I should like to read to you if you would care to hear it. It is not suited to a big house & stage like the Adelphi but if you are likely to put anything up a smaller house (as in the case of Peter's Mother) it might be worth your while to consider it.' He explains that the play contains a 'big part' for Ellen Terry's sister Marion Terry (1852-1930), who would be 'almost indispensable' for the play's 'satisfactory presentation'. He gives a day when he will be in London, before going 'North to look after rehearsals of The Return of the Prodigal'. Alternatively, he will be lunching at the Savile Club the following day, 'if you care to ring me up on the telephone'. The play in question is presumably 'The Cassilis Engagement', which was produced at the Imperial Theatre, London, from 10 February 1907. The part of Mrs Cassilis was not taken by Marion Terry, but by Evelyn Weeden. TWO: 1p, 12mo. Written a little over a year before he killed himself in a fit of depression (Bernard Shaw described his death as 'a public calamity'), in similar fashion to Virginia Woolf. Addressed to 'Otho Stuart Esq.' and signed 'St John Hankin'. Reads: 'You have, I think, the script of a play of mine The Two Mr Wetherbys. If you have finished with it will you be good enough to return it to me here?'.

1p, 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged. On Croxley Script cartridge paper. Folded three times. Typed at top left: 'For Andrew Young'. From the Fry papers, with the playwright apparently stating that he found the typescript in a copy of Robert Frost's poems. Hassall's poem is apparently unpublished (but see below). It is divided into two sonnets, numbered I ('Yours is the Wildern World beyond my door') and II ('Speak for us to the earth, interpreter -'). At the end, in type: 'Christopher Hassall | November, 1939.' There are four minor autograph emendations to the first sonnet, two in ink and two in type (one being the substitution of the word 'met' for 'dared', another the deletion of 'But' at the beginning of a line). The second sonnet ends well: 'We bruise, but never bless; our knowledge grows | Vaster, and vainer yet: the tiniest rose | That ever made white marriage with a thorn | Puts all our chilly intellect to scorn. | Yes, you have spoken to the earth, and what | She taught, you teach, and shall not be forget.' At top right is a pencil note in Fry's close neat hand: 'C. H. & A. Y. marrying C & E. Christening. | C. would have been reading. | Through C I meet A. | Christmastime 1956. Stonegate Vicarage. | [Worked?] through Into Hades | 2 sonnets in copy of Frost.' The note appears to say that Young married Hassall and his wife Eve ('C & E.') and christened their daughter (Imogen). And that through Hassall Fry met Young, spending Christmas 1956 at Young's Stonegate Vicarage, where Fry worked through Young's book-length poem 'Into Hades' (1952). Fry also appears to be saying that the typescript of the present '2 sonnets' were found in a copy of the poems of Robert Frost. The internet does not indicate that either sonnet was published, but good old-fashioned reference to the 1957 tribute volume 'Andrew Young Prospect of a Poet: Essays and Tributes of Fourteen Writers' may show that they are the work that Hassall contributed.

9pp, 8vo. Complete carbon typescript. On nine leaves, stapled together. Title at head of first page: 'THE BOAT THAT MOOED.' Fry's signature in blue ink at top left of first page: 'Christopher Fry:'. Fry has cut down the story by deleting and removing a passage. The lower part of the leaf carrying the sixth page of the story has been cut away, and the original seventh page has been removed, hence the typescript pagination 1-6, 8-10 has been amended in manuscript to 1-9. A lighthearted faux-naive story, replete with symbolism. Begins: 'Tom Crunch lived on a boat. All round the boat was water. There was water to the right, water to the left, water in front, and water behind. And also water underneath. Up above there was the sky. | Tom Crunch lived with his Uncle Jack. Uncle Jack was fat and sleepy. All day long he sat and fished in the water. Sometimes he was awake, and sometimes he was asleep. It was hard to tell which he was, because he looked just the same when he was awake and when he was asleep. He kept his eyes shut all the time, unless he was eating fish. Then he kept his eyes open, because of the bones.' There does not appear to have been an English edition of the book, which was published in New York by Macmillan in 1965, with pictures by Leonard Weisgard.

4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with rust-spotting at foot and to one margin. An interesting document relating to the early days of women's admission to British universities. The recipient is the geologist Ernest Westlake (1855-1922), and the subject is his daughter Margaret Agnes Westlake, who would become a diploma student at St Hugh's. Westlake's papers are held at the Museum of Natural History, Oxford. Marett thinks it is 'a bother about your daughter not being able to enter Somerville, but Somerville is not Oxford'. He suggests she try 'St Hugh's (cheaper than S. and enlarging itself, so likely to have vacancies); or why not simply enrol as a Home Student?' He thinks he 'could get her admitted straight away as a student of anthropology; for [Heathers?] showed me her essays, and I thought well of them and could testify that she was of considerable ability'. Although this might not be the course ('I mean anthropology minus classical mods., or what not') she was 'set on', he thinks it would 'prove very stimulating and enlarging to the mind'). He cannot 'discuss the question whether anthropology would pay, whether it would lead directly to a practical career and so on. All that is beside the point, when it is a question of education of growing a soul.' It is 'Time and opportunity' which will tell 'how far one's realized powers' will be pointed in the right direction, 'but depend on it, they make themselves felt for the bettering of human life somehow'. He concludes with the reassurance that there is 'plenty of work to be done by women anthropologists. I have two or three of them at work now Mrs Czaplicka [Maria Antonina Czaplicka (1884-1921), Polish anthropologist] in Siberia for instance. Baldwin Spencer [W, Baldwin Spencer (1860-1929), Anglo-Australian anthropologist] wants women workers in Australia. Money will be scarce, after the war, however.'.
