He will be 'from 3 to 600 miles from London for some time to come', and will 'miss the sort of society of which the breakfast club is the quintessence'. From the papers of Sir Robert Herbert.

Edité par 9 October ; on letterhead of the Chief Secretary's Office Dublin Castle, 1882
Vendeur : Richard M. Ford Ltd, London, Royaume-Uni
12mo, 4 pp. Good, on lightly aged and creased paper. The 'appointment of examiners' is entirely a matter for 'the Commissioners of Intermediate Education'. However Trevelyan will be glad 'to send the papers on to the proper quarter, and will do so accordingly'. He is 'much obliged' to Fawcett for his 'kind expressions about my proceedings here. It is a very queer post, and I always feel as if on the brink of an appalling escape.' He has been 'much struck' with the success of Fawcett's policy at Trinity College, Dublin. The Trevelyans 'spent some days in Salisbury in 1879. On the whole, I doubt whether anything in the world is more beautiful than the close and the Bishop's Garden. Giotto's tower is as beautiful in itself: but the setting of Salisbury is incomparable.'.

Manuscrit / Papier ancien
4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. The letter begins: 'Dear George, | The idea contained in your letter is very interesting, and I am honoured to be thought of in connection with it. I am now reading Stevenson's letters, (admirable they are,) and I know from his dealings with American magazines and publishers that the terms offered by the Review are extremely handsome. But I am very late in the day, - in my day, - to be a writing a history; [i.e. his history of the American War of Independence, which appeared in six volumes between 1899 and 1914] and all my time and thought must be given to it, if I am to have any hope of completing it.' He concludes by stating that this will be his answer not only to Harvey's 'kind letter', but to 'all proposals, - political and literary - that are made'.

Vendeur : Richard M. Ford Ltd, London, Royaume-Uni
Manuscrit / Papier ancien
2pp., 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged with pin holes. He has been 'advised that a private [last word underlined] memorial to Gladstone is the best course'. 'Publication', he has been told, would make the plan 'more exacting as giving a sense of importance'. Trevelyan would 'gladly, as M P for the burghs, forward such a memorial'. Gladstone had been intending to retire from politics at the end of 1882.

Manuscrit / Papier ancien
A total of 12pp, 12mo. On bifoliums. All addressed to 'Dear Shuttleworth'. In good condition, lightly aged. A curious feature of the four letters is that the handwriting of each differs from the others. ONE: 7 April 1880. Trevelyan condoles with Shuttleworth, who has lost his Hastings seat in the General Election. He states that he is 'so heartily disgusted' with Shuttleworth's constituents, adding 'The loss, most temporary I feel sure, to the House will be very sensible, and I shall sorely miss you as a friend. I am sure no one less deserved a misfortune either by want of party loyalty or political energy.' He takes comfort in his belief that 'every man of a certain stamp begins with a bad seat, and changes to a good one; with all the more credit if he sticks to the good one to the last.' Postscript: 'My polling is not till the 12th! I have been electioneering in North Northumberland in the meanwhile.' TWO: 25 November 1883. He has to decline Shuttleworth's invitation, as 'From the day we came to Ireland, till the Session begins, we shall not be able to leave it, except for the inside of a week, when I shall be speaking to my constituents.' He is 'sorry to miss this pleasant visit: but we have nothing pleasant and that is about the long and short of it.' He hopes Shuttleworth 'will have pleasing meetings with Hartington', whom he is sure 'will speak well and wisely'. THREE: 3 February 1897. Shuttleworth's letter, written on Trevelyan's resignation from parliament, is 'kindness itself', but 'The fact is that I am really unfit for the work of public life, and cannot possibly stay in it. But with a regular and quiet régime I hope I may yet be able to get a fair amount of other work done.' He regrets 'losing the comradeship with you, which has been one of unbroken confidence and satisfaction on my part. Happily friendship is quite as likely to gain as to lose among people who both livein London at the due time.' He and his wife are concerned at Lady Shuttleworth's illness, and think Shuttleworth is 'wise to get her abroad'. Letter ends: 'I value very much your description of me as "an old and dear friend," which I heartily reciprocate'. FOUR: 29 June 1911. He has had 'great pleasure' from Shuttleworth's letter: 'I like to be told, however well I know it, that you regard yourself as an "old and attached friend." Since we rode together in the Park in the sixties we have both gone far, through some rough ways; and have both reached a happy goal, in the world, and still more in our respective homes.'.
