Ajouter au panierAll items good, though on dusty and aged paper. Five items are addressed to sellers of manuscripts (probably the same individual). ONE (to H. Barker, 23 April 1885, on letterhead of 'The Antiquarian Magazine and Bibliographer', one page, octavo): Asks to be offered Wellesley autographs purchased at a recent Sotheby sale, of whic…h he sent an account to 'The Times', which was 'crowded out'. TWO (to F. Barker, 25 April [1885], 'at T. Herly Esq, Crickfield, nr Bracknell', one page, 12mo): Thanks him for the Wellesley frank and asks to be sent a catalogue at Herly's ('he is a great collector, both of franks & letters'). THREE (to A. Barker, 1 July [no year], 2 Hyde Park Mansions, Edgware Road, NW, two pages, 12mo): Encloses payment for Gough MSS., and asks to look over the bundles of franks that he saw at Barker's house the previous week. Wonders if he would advertise his autograph dealing in the 'Antiquarian'. FOUR (no correspondent or date [but 1890], 7 Hyde Park Mansions, on cancelled letterhead of the New Athenaeum Club, two pages, 16mo): Asks for two manuscripts from the collection of Miss Tucker, offered to his correspondent at Walford's suggestion. 'Had I asked her, she wd have given me some, but I did not care to do so'. FIVE (to unnamed correspondent, 11 February 1890, 7 Hyde Park Mansions, one page, 16mo): He is glad his correspondent bought the Tucker autographs, and is sending in exchange for the two he requested 'two autographs of my dear old friend, Edward Jesse, the author of the "Book of Dogs", and an eminent practical naturalist.' Adds in postscript 'I hear that Stock has at last had to give up the Folklore Journal'. SIX (to 'Taylor', 15 June 1860, on 'Once a Week' letterhead, two pages, 12mo): As he knows nothing on the subject of Birmingham suggests that Taylor contact his friend C. Ratcliffe at the Conservative Club ('say you are a friend of mine, & ask him whether he can tell you'). Wonders if Lady Carnegie's death has 'put off the Fotheringham affair'. Has just become editor of the 'Court Circular'. 'You will be able to reprint Lady C's obituary, & perhaps to pick out the West End news, all of which is original. Perhaps also one or two scraps about the Grandison Peerage may be of service. | If you like to exchange papers, I will have the arrangements effected. (address 188 Strand).' SEVEN (to unnamed correspondent, 6 July [no year], 2 Hyde Park Mansions, one page, 16mo): Returns some things he thinks may be his correspondent's. EIGHT (to Mrs Ratcliffe, July 19 [no year], 2 Hyde Park Mansions, NW, two pages, 16mo): As requested by Colonel Ratcliffe, gives details of two doctors 'whose forte lies in rheumatic cases'. NINE (to unnamed correspondent, 29 November 1864, on 'Once a Week' letterhead, two pages, 12mo): Knows 'all about' Mr Wright's 'parentage &c. and need scarcely trouble him for any other fact except the place where he was at school.' TEN (to unnamed correspondent, 15 February 1879, Hampstead, on cancelled London Institution letterhead, two pages, 12mo): Gives details of publication of first number of the 'Antiquary'. 'How wd. it suit your convenience to send me a retrospective paper on the Fen Country for it? I fear that it must be an honorary help; even my work as Editor is to be unpaid.' Has been at Wisbech, and 'found the flat country very charming'. Has a 'very large collection of franks: but I desiderate franks of all the Earls of Harborough, except the last. Is it possible that you could get any from the Sherards your neighbours off the backs of old letters? If not, could you learn from them who the solicitors of the family were, in order that I may make trial there?'.

Ajouter au panierThese five items are part of a collection of correspondence (the rest is offered separately) relating to a supposed portrait of a young Percy Bysshe Shelley by George Romney, which was in a group of paintings donated to the Shakespeare Memorial Association by the appropriately-named anatomist Evan Marlett Boddy. (The Shelley por…trait is reproduced in 'The Magazine of Art', 1901, with the caption 'Reputed portrait of Shelley as a boy, by Romney. In the Shakespeare memorial, Stratford-on-Avon.', in an article on 'Portraits of Shelley at the National Portrait Gallery', p. 494.) The Shakespeare Memorial Theatre was founded through the efforts of local brewer Charles Edward Flower (1830-1892), after whose death its management was taken over by his brother Edgar Flower (1833-1903), also Chairman of the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. On Edgar's death these duties fell to his son Archibald Flower (1865-1950), several times mayor of Stratford-upon-Avon. Between 1899 and 1901 Boddy donated at least twelve portraits to be hung in the Shakespeare Memorial reading room (from the correspondence wood carvings also appear to have been donated). Details of the first seven portraits (including the supposed Romney one of Shelley) are contained in a letter (in the separate collection of correspondence) of 11 December 1899 from Boddy to the Shakespeare Memorial librarian the archaeologist William Salt Brassington (1859-1939). The paintings included supposed works by Henry Fuseli ('The Fuseli Macbeth') and Sir Peter Lely (Nell Gwynne), Henry Wyatt (Coleridge), one of Alexander Pope ('attributed to Hogarth'), as well as a 'Garrick portrait', one of Nell Gwynne, and a 'Spanish Lady'. In 1916 Boddy demanded their return, on discovering that the Archibald Flower had broken the condition that Boddy had arranged in 1900 with the then librarian W. S. Brassington: 'The Portraits were to be hung together and remain so.' The present five items comprise four in 12mo, totaling 8pp; and one (the first) in 4to, 1p, the first part of which is typed and the latter part in autograph. All signed 'W. S. Brassington'. All in good condition, lightly aged. In the first letter (28 August 1900) he writes: 'Dear Dr. Boddy, / Following the investigations respecting the portrait of Shelley, I find that the description on the frame of the picture is not quite correct. / "Percy Bysshe Shelley, aged 13 by G. Romney." Shelley was born in 1792, and in 1805 he was 13 years old. Romney died in 1802, and did not paint much for some years before his death. From a careful examination of the portrait it appears to me that the subject is a boy of about 8 or 9 years of age, and consequently the portrait may have been painted by Romney, in, or about, the year 1800. Next month I hope to meet Dr. Garnett [Richard Garnett (1835-1906)] at the meeting of the Library Association at Bristol and hear what he has to say on the subject; He is the greatest living authority on Shelley. I am also writing to the author of a new life of Romney and hope to find a record of the sittings in Romney's notes.' In the second letter (31 August 1900) he recaps the position, adding: 'The more I see of the picture the more I like it: it is beautiful, and to me more interesting than any of the others: it would be a treasure for any gallery.' In the third letter (4 September 1900) he comments on a photograph of the Shelley portrait (presumably for the 'Magazine of Art' article), which he considers excellent. On 5 December 1901 Brassington writes: 'Since last I had the pleasure of seeing you Miss Florence May has been hunting up the bust of Shelley which Mrs Leigh Hunt made & gave to Thomas Carlyle. It has now been found in Scotland, and the owner has kindly sent me, for the Memorial, an etching made from the bust by W. Bell-Scott. It appears that the present representatives of the Shelley family do not like the bust, though it undoubtedly is a likeness, and it has a resemblance to the Romney portrait, which renders it all the more interesting to me.' In the last of the five letters, 13 December 1901 he write: 'It is quite time, as you say, that misfortunes attend some poor souls even after death, but I fancy the poor departed generally score in the end, if they deserve to do so. In Shelley's case this must be so, & it is a score that his portrait should be here. I shall do my best to get the Leigh Hunt Bust placed beside the Romney Portrait before next April.' There is a final reference to his 'young friend Nupean'.

Each item in the collection was published in French. A unique collection of books and associated ephemera presented by Jacques Maritain (1882-1973) and his wife, RaÑ ssa Maritain (1883-1960), to Maurice de Gandillac. Jacques Maritain was an influential Catholic philosopher whose work helped generate a modern revival of Thomism and Aristotelianism. Maritain was a prolific author, publishing over 60 books, and his works and thought were highly influential throughout Europe and the United States. Maritain was instrumental in the development and drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and his religious and philosophical thought profoundly influenced Pope Paul VI, to whom Maritain had acted as friend and mentor. Maritain's projects spanned many fields, including philosophy, religion, politics, aesthetics, and the philosophy of science, and among his enduring legacies is his promotion of integral humanism-a Christian humanism capable of giving expression to man's spiritual character and, unlike secular humanism, uniting rather than dividing the whole of human experience. Jacques Maritain studied at the Sorbonne and it was there that he met RaÑ ssa Oumançoff, a Russian Jewish émigré, whom he would marry in 1904. RaÑ ssa was a successful poet and noted mystic who would partner with her husband in a lifelong quest for the truth. Prior to their marri. Signed by Author(s).

Ajouter au panierPolitician and rugby player (DNB). The five letters all one page, 16mo, and each with two staple holes and in good condition. The autograph poem is on a printed bifoliate menu for the Cricket Society Spring Dinner (6 April 1962), 16mo, slightly discoloured. The letters relate to various Cricket Society Dinners. He agrees to atte…nd the 1961 Spring Dinner at the Lords Tavern, but his private secretary P. Barling declines on his behalf an invitation to the autumn dinner as he is out of the country recovering from an operation. In the third letter he accepts an invitation to the 1962 Spring Dinner at the Royal Horticultural New Hall and the fourth letter is from Barling on the same subject. In the fifth letter he explains that he has had to undergo an operation and cannot attend the dinner after all. The poem on the menu reads 'To think that many years ago | We danced together with gusto | in gay Paree when we were young | enjoying life with dance & song, | You still are young in looks & heart | Just as you were in your life's start.' An unremarkable printed poem by G. D. Martineau called 'The Crown' on the reverse of the second leaf of the menu has received eleven emendations in pen, possibly not by Wakefield. These have given it a rather gay feel, e.g. 'Sohos lights', 'strange delights' and 'it was no sin'.

Ajouter au panierThe five letters total 8pp. The first three letters are in autograph and the last two typed. The first has two punch holes to the first leaf, the collection is otherwise in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. The correspondence relates to the arranging of a meeting between Milburn and the Secretary of State for War Richard Ha…ldane (1856-1928, later 1st Viscount Haldane), apparently with regard to a complaint by Milburn which has lead to him considering resigning from the position of Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of the 2nd East Riding Yorks Royal Garrison Artillery (Volunteers)'. Royal Army Medical Corps. In the first letter (1 May), on House of Commons letterhead, he writes that he is returning Milburn's 'papers (as they may be useful to you) & reply from the War Office', which Ferens wishes 'had been of a more satisfactory character'. He urges him not to think of retiring, and 'will take the opportunity of discussing the matter with Mr. Haldane as suggested'. On 21 September he tells Milburn that he has sent his letter to Haldane and has 'urged your claim'. On 25 September he informs him that he has 'wired you the pith of encd. this a.m.; & I also wired Mr. Haldane accepting 18th. Dec with many thanks'. In the first of two typed letters, both from Wilton House, he reports (26 November, addressed to Milburn at 158 Anlaby Road, Hull) that he has received a letter from Haldane, 'saying that the suggested arrangements of his dining with you quite meet his approval. I will therefore look after him and "land" him at the Barracks in time.' He suggests that Milburn have his 'dressing room comfortable, in case he wishes to dress at the Barracks'. In the final letter (11 December, addressed to 'Colonel Milburn, | Artillery Volunteers, Hull') he thanks Milburn for his 'kid suggestion in regard to engaging a room at the Station Hotel but as Mr Haldane is to be my guest I shall be glad to undertake this duty'. He concludes: 'Many thanks for your "tip" in regard to the Suffragettes. We will endeavour, if possible, to keep them outside our meeting.' In an autograph postscript he writes: 'P.S | In case the women bother you you can turn your artillery on them! We shall chuck-em-out.'.

Conveying the thanks of the King and Queen to the members of the orchestra for their work at the previous night's royal performance, and adding, for Finck: 'I have already told you how much I appreciate what you did o…n Monday night and the splendid manner in which you conducted. The success of the performance would have been impossible without your invaluable assistance.' TWO: Garrick House, 23 March 1921. Begins: 'I need hardly say that having regard to my very lengthy assocation with the Palace Theatre it is a matter of keen personal regret to me that I should be severing my connection with this magnificent Theatre, but the offer which the London Palace (1921) Limited made to the Shareholders (and which has to-day been completed) was of such a nature that I did not feel justified in refusing to recommend it to them for their acceptance.' He praises Finck as 'a pillar of strength' who has 'helped me from the Orchestral side to - I think I can say it without egotism - enhance the prestige and reputation of the Palace Theatre until it enjoyed a position which is unique in the Entertainkent World.' He hopes to associate with him in the future, and together with his colleagues wishes to show his appreciation 'in a practical manner', and so is enclosing a cheque for £250 (the figure being added in autograph). THREE: Drury Lane, 28 September 1926. In order to show their appreciation to Finck, the 'Directors of Drury Lane and Messrs Daniel Mayer Company' are enclosing a cheque for £50.

FIVE: Seymour House, 23 April 1931. Thanking him for subscribing to 'the really beautiful gift', adding 'The delightful manner in which you recall the many years during which we have worked together, and convey to me your good wishes for my future health and happiness will always be one of my most treasured possessions.' He ends by praising Finck's 'great knowledge of the Theatre, your ability to do your job, your loyalty and enthusiasm'. From the Herman Finck papers.

Ajouter au panierEvocative artefacts of the interesting connection between Powys and the man who supplied him with the books for his translation of Rabelais. On 24 September 1940, in 'Letters to Sea-Eagle', Powys gives a lengthy account of 'Our Jew Book-Pedlar' and the bombing by the Germans of his Russell Street address. In another long passage… a couple of weeks later (5 October 1940) the anti-semitism has dispelled, with Powys announcing that 'we both really do like Mr Lewin very very much he is so Light of Weight: his Personality has no Powerful Aura you just scarce feel his Presence or hardly know he is there!' Writing to Louis Wilkinson around a year later, while praising Lewin's efforts in aiding his work on his Rabelais translation, Powys is even more enthusiastic, beginning: 'Jewish on Both Sides, born in Johannesburg, S. Africa, and by profession a Book Discoverer & Book Dealer, Blitzed out of his collection of books (he's never had a shop). He is really & truly a most LOVEABLE (Think of my being so "lacking" as not to be able to fish up another better & more exactly descriptive word than that! I can't bother to look it up ) yes, a very likeable anyway sort of man I have ever known & Phyllis is just as pleased with him & as fond of him.' Nine envlopes, eight of which are 9.5 x 11.5 cm, with imprinted stamp; the other envelope (from 1957) is 9.5 x 14 cm, with postage stamp affixed. Eight of the envelopes are addressed to 'G. L. Lewin Esq | 41 Great Russell Street | London W.C.1.'; the ninth (from 1950) is to 'George L. Lewin Esq', it being one of two (the other from 1951) to have 'c/o' before the address. One letter (1958) has Powys's Blaenau Ffestiniog address on a printed label on the reverse; the other eight all have Powys's signature (six 'J C Powys' and two 'J. C. Powys'), with the first four (1950, 1951, and two from 1955) from Corwen; and the others from Blaenau Ffestiniog, with two of the latter group (and the label) including the line '1 Waterloo'. All are stamped with legible date. The nine items are in fair condition, aged, worn and creased; two have been torn open from the side, the others are neatly cut open at the top.

Ajouter au panierThe 14 letters total 72pp. The collection is in good condition, lightly aged. Most items docketed and with the Society's stamp. The correspondence relates to Society business, from a strongly Anglo-Indian viewpoint. Letters of 26 May and 2 June 1913 are each 12pp. Long, and concern the relative merits of Indian colonial official… Sir William Lee-Warner (1846-1914) and the geographer Sir Thomas Holdich (1843-1929), to be chairman of the Society. In the first he tells Wood that he had previously 'begged' his assistant Menzies to let him know 'that if it was the turn of an Anglo-Indian to be chairman of the Society that Anglo-Indian was Sir W. Lee Warner. Yesterday to my I heard that Sir Thos. Holdich was talked of. Now no one admires Sir T. more than I do. [] But he is not of the type of Anglo-Indian to be made our chairman [] That Chairman must be of the ruling class of English Indian officials. - A Civilian or a military man, not only of ability & distinction but who has served in the highest administrative offices civil & political [] Such men, for instance as Sir Bartle Frere Sir Alfred Lyall Sir Stewart Bayley & Sir W. Lee-Warner Of all these none has more impressed Indian imagination as Sir W. L-W - &B none been better known here except Sir Bartle Frere'. He criticises Holdich for his lack of experience, giving his opinion that 'he wd be as great a failure for the Soc: as Sir Charles Lamb who was a ghastly failure the sickening taste of which it has taken 2 years of Lord Sanderson to clear out of my mouth.' He continues in like tone: 'If anybody is to suffer through the fiasco let it be Sir Thomas & not the Society so far as its Indian interests are concerned. It is a case of Pallas the Untender Hearted to exert herself in our hearts.' On 2 June 1913 he writes to Wood again at length on the matter, claiming to have always opposed overweighting the Council with Anglo-Indians. I think 3 Sir S. Bayley, Sir W. L-W. & I, are quite enough: & chiefly because all of us are of one mind in realising that you are the corner stone, & real head stone also, of the Society, & that its whole success depends on supporting you through thick & thin. With you & Menzies after you in the office as Secretary is all my pleasure in the Society for the present - & hope for the future.' Later in 1913 he writes concerning a letter he has published in the Society's journal, 'on the iniquity of England robbing India of £90,000 a year paid India by China without compensating India a single "dam" (not "damn")'.

Ajouter au panierWade donated his extensive collection of anatomical specimens to Surgeon's Hall in Edinburgh, where it is now known as the Henry Wade Collection. In 1913 Waterston had attained prominence as the first authority to discredit the Piltdown Man hoax. A total of 6pp, 8vo. The first addressed to Waterston's doctor at St Andrews, Orr,…the others to Waterston himself. None of the letters is short, and all but the second are single-spaced. The first (to Waterston's doctor, Orr) is 2pp, the others (all four to Waterston himself) 1p. In fair condition, lightly aged and ruckled. All five signed 'Henry Wade'. ONE (7 May 1940, to Orr): Begins: He has a 'much more cheerful report' for Orr than he anticipated regarding Waterston's suspected bowel cancer. On first examination, the Waterston's 'healthy rosy cheeks' convinced Wade that 'the worst was unlikely'. He describes the tests that have been made ('the examination did not upset him in any way') and the treatment he recommends, pending results. TWO (16 May 1940, like the three following, to Waterston himself): He points out that their friendship 'goes back now to the days when I was a very junior assistant under Sir William Turner and you were then his right hand man'. He gives the results of the examination of the films of discharges, and expresses the hope of seeing him again and noting his progress. THREE (29 October 1940): Begins: 'It is many a long day since I received a letter that gave me as great pleasure as yours has - to know that all is again well and that you have put on a stone and a half in weight, back to work and able to do a round of golf is undoubtedly a very great joy.' He is interested to hear that 'the improvement commenced after a short course of a homeopathic drug [.] our outlook is much more tolerant than it used to be [.] there is very much that we still dont know and in some departments homeopathy may have valuable secrets to offer us'. He 'heard rumours' of Waterston's 'bad luck at the College' and is glad that 'things are not so bad in your Department'. He ends by sending his regards to his 'old friend, Hugh Richardson'. FOUR (26 December 1940): He begins by explaining that he is 'Surgeon General to Bangour Hospital, which is one of the Hospitals under the Emergency Medical Service Scheme of the Department of Health. We have 2,500 beds but comparatively few of them are occupied at present, a state of affairs which is very general and on the whole fortunate.' One of his patients - 'a nice young lad, an Edinburgh High School lad, who is an anti-aircraft gunner' - is 'not doing well'. After describing the case Wade wonders whether he might respond to a course of homeopathic treatment similar to Waterston's. The patient would remain under Wade's care at the hospital, but it would be 'a fair trial'. He concludes: 'The news from the East is certainly very satisfactory and having spent 3 1/2 years during the last War in these parts, I naturally have a keen interest in that campaign. I should not think it will be long before we have equally stirrig news from these quarters.' FIVE (31 December 1940): The patient at Banguor has 'improved very materially since my last visit and the question of our operative treatment is set aside', but it will not be possible to 'consult Dr Mitchell and to consult one locality I am afraid would raise questions which might lead to no end of trouble from the military standpoint'. He concludes by asking Wade to convey his regards to Hugh Richardson: 'tell him that I remember so well during the last War, when home on leave, paying a visit to St. Andrews and seeing his wife and taking with me for his boy, who was then a youngster at School an uncharged Will's bomb which I had seen then making from munitions at Cairo. Twenty-four odd years have made a great difference and the youth is now a very prominent officer in the Royal Army Medical Corps and a credit to me as my old Resident. I also paid a visit to Professor Irving who was then in the Chemistry Department and is now your Principal.'.

ONE (26 May 1973): He condoles with her on her husband's death. 'I always greatly admired his poetry & then his work as a critic. I've just been writing down hisname in the index of my second book of Ox…ford lectures, where I refer briefly to both these activities of his. It is a sad loss, particularly to those of us who admire creative & sensitive scholarship, so rare & so much needed now. | He & I never met - you remember how we were thwarted when I came to Liverpool three or four years ago. That will be a constant matter of regret to me.' TWO (12 July 1973): He 'would be honoured to write a foreword to the poems', and offers his help if 'the L[iverpool]. U[niversity]. P[ress]. baulk at doing the book': 'There is always the possibility of an Arts Council grant to a publisher'. He hopes she will be 'able to make another book or books, even of a miscellaneous kind. The question of fulfilment or non-fulfilment of talent is not straightforward. Sometimes the talent is fulfilled unbeknown to itself, particularly with those who refuse to exaggerate their gifts. J. R. Ackerley is a good example. Everything I saw of Kenneth's was individual & true. There is no rubbish - as there is with most of us! - to drop away, out of an inflated picture.' THREE (17 July 1973): He urges her to produce an edition of her husband's complete poems, and suggests individuals to approach (Charles Monteith, 'T. G. Rosenthal of Secker & Warburg', 'lordly Fabers' and Carcanet Press ('doing some excellent things'). FOUR (10 August 1973): 'Anthony Thwaite (who advises Secker & Warburg on their poetry list) is interested in Kenneth's collected poems. [.] No thanks are due to me! Thwaite asked for a poem for Enounter's 20th anniversary number and I sent him the only suitable one I had - one written recently which I've dedicated to Kenneth's memory.' FIVE (20 August 1973): He has heard from Thwaite, who 'wants to see the complete MS but I think one can say firmly that he will recommend to Secker that they do a Collected Poems. [.] One can never be absolutely sure about the destiny of a book of poems, but I am quite hopeful'. The letter concludes: 'Can't imagine why I mentioned Faber in previous letters. I should have said Hogarth.' Secker & Warburg did indeed publish Kenneth Allott's 'Collected Poems', with a 'Foreword' by Fisher, in 1975.
