A document of some historical significance. The context of is described in Chalmers' entry in the Oxford DNB: 'In 1835 the whig government of Viscount Melbourne appointed a royal commission of inquiry to investigate church accommodation in Scotland, but the commission moved slowly about its work and angered Chalmers and the church extensionists by what they perceived as stalling methods and a bias towards the dissenters.' Lister's entry explains his involvement, stating that on 19 July 1835 'he was one of those commissioned to investigate the opportunities for religious worship and the means of religious instruction in Scotland.' From the papers of Lister's wife the future Lady Theresa Lewis (1803-1865). 4pp, 12mo. Forty-five lines. On bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded for postage. Signed 'Thos Chalmers. / With Dr Chalmers most respectful acknowledgments to Mr Lister.' Dated in pencil (by Lister?) 'Feb 24. 1836.' Chalmers dives straight in without a salutation: '1. It is most desired that an interim report on the Statistics of those localities for which New Churches are now in preparation, and their claims to an endowment - should be completed as soon as possible.' In the second point Chalmers states 'That an endowment should in every instance be accompanied by the enactment of a low rent rent, and a district be assigned to the place of worship with a preference to its sittings in favour of the people who reside in that district.' The third and last point covers two pages of close text. It goes into greater detail about 'a low-rent rent and a territorial district', with respect to 'dissenting ministers', 'established church', 'Legislature' and 'meeting-houses'.

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Two days before the writing of this letter the London Gazette had announced (10 November 1846) that Napier, then Deputy Adjutant-General in Ireland, had been promoted to Lieutenant General. The letter, in which he writes to his Commander in Chief in Ireland, is headed 'Private'. It begins: 'My Dear Sir Edward | As I grieve to think that our Official intercourse is of necessity about to terminate, I hope you will allow me to take this mode of returning you my warmest thanks for all the kindness I have experienced from you since I came to the Royal Hospital'. (Both men had been severely injured during the Peninsular War Blakeney in 1811 and 1812, and Napier in 1813 and presumably had met at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea.) He can 'with truth and sincerity say that the period I have served with you here has been by far the happiest during the whole of my Military Career'. He states: 'I quit my present position on Promotion', but feels certain that Blakeney approves of the manner in which he has conducted the duties of his department. He has 'no right to expect' that he will 'be employed at once upon the Staff', but adds: 'I trust my time may come, & when it does I sincerely hope it may be under your Command & the more immediate the better I should like it'.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
Written in ink on both sides of an irregular slip of paper (roughly 9 x 19cm), with a few words inserted in pencil. Aged and worn. In Guthrie's hand, and with 'Dr Guthrie's' in pencil at head of first page. The text comprises the upper part of the first leaf of the draft of a speech of thanks by Guthrie, for delivery at a meeting in his honour. Heavily revised, with a few interpolations in the margins on both sides. There are no indications that the text has been published, and Guthrie's sons' memoir, included in his 'Autobiography' (1874), throws up no clues. Containing vivid flashes demonstrating the reasons for Guthrie's popularity as a preacher. The beginning of the speech is on one side of the slip, and reads: 'The man who is required to speak about himself has got an awkward subject: and therefore topic of conversation, tho' I should have liked to speak my thanks out of the fulness of my heart I think it fortunate that necessity is laid on me to be brief as well as calm - | I am well aware how much more I owe the honours & gifts of this day to the kindness of my friends than to any merits of mine Indeed, when I first heard of this movement, & in the list of the Committee read the names of some occupying the highest offices in the State & in the Church of England[,] also names famous in the world of Science, the names of great & good men belonging to all ranks, all political & all Protestant Churches, no man cold be sympathy []'. On the reverse of the slip Guthrie expresses 'pleasure in accepting this munificent expression' of his audiences approbation: 'Indeed I feel very much as an invalid does who thinks it almost worthwhile to be ill to be so much made of, & have his wants anticipated, & know himself loved beyond what he ever imagined The night brings out the stars: & my being disabled & shelved has elicited expressions of interest & esteem which have greatly alleviated my trial'. In the final part of the text Guthrie addresses 'my Lord Provost, our very highly & most deservedly Chief Magistrate'.

The letters and note are good, on lightly aged paper; the third letter with closed tear at foot of both leaves, affecting Walker's signature. Two of the three letters are docketed and bear the Society's stamp. The cuttings good on aged high-acidity paper. Letter One (4to, 1 p): He cannot afford the Society's subscription, due to 'the immensely increased taxation by the Federal Government, and by the State Governments in N.S. Wales and Queensland (not to mention donations to various War Funds)'. Letter Two (4to, 3 pp): He notices that 'our "Labour" Prime Minister is being feted in an admirable and very hospitable manner by the Mother Country. So far, good.' Asks Wood to 'get some person (public man if possible) to ask the Rt. Hon. W. M. Hughes P.C.' two questions. 'For your private information, Mr. Hughes has been the most prominent Member of the Wharf Labourers Union for years, and at the present time, notwithstanding the war, Unionists will not work alongside non-Unionists, are never long satisfied with the ruling rates of wages, [.] So much for Australian Wharf Labourers' Patriotism!' He is enclosing '17 newspaper cuttings' from which Wood 'will have some slight idea of the extraordinary political goings on here under Labour Ministries. Mr Hughes and I are on friendly terms outside politics. I have always admired his pluck and ability, and, as I was in the Senate from 1901 to 1913 (when my health obliged me to reluctantly retire into private life) we used to meet frequently.' The third page of the letter lists the 'Newspaper extracts', with comments on most. The accompanying cuttings are numbered, and two are lacking (numbers 11 and 17). Letter Three (4to, 2 pp) encloses 'information re Wharf Labourers' Wages in Sydney, supplied to me by the Manager of one of the Shipping Companies here'. 'If the Rt Hon Wm Hughes remains at home, it may or may not be a good thing for the public at large, but it will probably have the effect of smashing up the Federal Labour Party into two - the Extremes and the Moderates. Whatever Hughes' faults may be, he has been a splendid friend to the Labour Unionist Party in Australia.' Second leaf headed 'Wharf Labourers' Wages'. Accompanied by the autograph note, to which are attached a further four newspaper cuttings, headed 'Preference. New Federal Regulation.', 'Routed by Returned Soldiers. Yarra Bank Scenes.', 'Strikes. Drillers at Eveleigh Workshops. Halfpenny per Hour Involved.' and 'Fair Rents.'.
