The Irish contribution includes such masters as James Joyce, Frank O'Connor, and Liam O'Flaherty, and stories by Canadian, Indian, New Zealand, and Australian writers show the full range of invention and ability in a genre that continues to flourish.

See his entry and that of Buckingham in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Twenty-six lines of text. Signed 'John Kitto' and addressed to 'J. S. Buckingham Esq'. 'It would be a great satisfaction to me to be able to avail myself of the advantage your suggestion offers to me; but I regret to state that I am not in possession of more than… one copy of any of my works - and of several of them not even one; and as none of them are in my own possession as copyright, I can only obtain copies by purchase.' He discusses a couple of his works, one of which 'is a reprint from the old stereotype plates - an operation of which I had no cognizance and over which I have no contract'.

Letter One (November 1848; folio, 1 p; on discoloured, creased and worn paper): Availing himself of Philippart's 'kind permission to contribute to the U. S. Magazine', Stocqueler is sending 'the commencement of a Historical Sketch' he has 'long meditated writing'. 'A note in this month's Dublin University Mag. has afforded the t…ext - & the pretext'. It 'will be calculated to please the India Office', and will contain 'a good deal of personal sketch'. Addressed on reverse to Philippart at the Magazine's office at 19 Catherine Street, Strand, and docketed by Philippart. Letter Two ('Thursday', 12mo, 2 pp, good). Warning Philippart against 'being led' by Sir John Henniker 'into any publication regarding his affair with Captains Bray & Wilson. He adopted so infamous a course in regard to them some months ago, thro' the U. S. Gazette, that I was obliged to tell him to his face he was a poltroon - He swallowed the insult & sneaked away. There is no dependence to be placed on one word he says.' Bray is rich and will 'bring an action against him or those who publish any of his statements, on the slightest pretext'. Letter Three (10 August 1870; 12mo, 3 pp; good, on lightly creased and discoloured paper): He is returning the volume on the Victoria Cross. He has 'duly recd.' Philippart's note 'enclosing an extract from 's letter to you & have no doubt I shall be able to make some use of it if occasion shd. arise'. Discusses a newspaper of which '' has 'evidently been trying to dispose a part'. 'Who would be the business associate of one so wanting in temper or decision? Not I. Two months ago he gave me a month's warning. At the end of that time asked me to go on.'.

One page, 12mo, embossed stamp slightly damaged, some staining but text clear and complete. "I perceive by your card that you were present & I much regret I did not know you. However I find you had some communication with Dr. Hodgkin & I am delighted to hear that we shall have you as a Member. I now return the charts & beg to re…turn my sincere thanks for their use." This letter is from a colelction of letters addressed to James Wyld, cartographer. The Ethnological Society evolved from the Aborigines Protection Society and later evolved into the Royal Antropological Insitute. King "obtained the post of surgeon and naturalist in the expedition led by Captain George Back, to the mouth of the Great Fish River (now known as the Back River) between 1833 and 1835, in search of Captain John Ross." He issued the prospectus for the Society in 1842. Thomas Hodgkin was an eminent physician.

2pp., 12mo. 29 lines of neatly-written text. In very good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Addressing his letter to 'J: S: Buckingham Esqre.', Pollock writes that Buckingham's letter, 'enclosing the Rules &c. of the British and Foreign Institute', has been forwarded to him in Monmouth, where he is 'engaged on a long Circuit pro…fessionally, which comprehends all South Wales, and the West and South of England'. He is 'on the move continually', without 'time or opportunity to give sufficient consideration to the subject'. He will 'return to Town' in December, when he will 'take an early opportunity of making my appearance as a member of the Committee', and will 'confer' with Buckingham: 'I see you have had to answer an attack, as some one has taken the trouble to send me a Copy of the "Times" of the 25th. inst. which accompanied a Letter from you [.] You need not complain, as you have evidently a triumph upon all the points started.' According to Buckingham's entry in the Oxford DNB, in 1844 he was 'instrumental in the foundation of the British and Foreign Institute in Hanover Square. This literary and social club, of which he was appointed resident director, drew the ridicule of Punch, which persisted in calling it the 'Literary and Foreign Destitute'. The institute was closed in 1846.' Pollock was appointed Chief Justice of Bombay in 1846, and knighted in the same year.

1p., landscape 16mo (8.5 x 13 cm). Good, on aged paper, with blank second leaf of bifolium bearing evidence of previous mounting. The poem is neatly written out, in a sensitive hand, and is eight lines long: 'Fairyland! Fairyland! | That must be a pleasant spot: | Silver rippled over the strand, | Murmurs in each cave & grot, |…Jewelled fruits upon the trees, | Music floating on the air, | Perfumes breathing on the breeze -, | How I wish that I was there! | [signed] Julia S. H. Pardoe'. The poem was presumably written in response to a request for an autograph, and there is no indication that it was ever published.

English writer (died 1887), traveller in the Middle East, and philanthropist. Four pages, 16mo. Good, but with traces of grey-paper mount adhering to verso of second leaf of bifoliate, to which adheres a cutting relating to the circumstances of Lady Strangford's marriage. She has been in bed for ten days, and although 'still in…a state of great weakness - and non-writingness', writes to apologise for Lord Strangford's mistake: 'as he was expecting to be accosted by a lady much of your size he answered accordingly with an enquiry for her husband. It came to him the next moment that the "voice was not Jacob's voice" - but it was too late to find you again and he came home in a state of shame & confusion. I dont think any one bears him malice for his many mistakes of vision - & you will not be the first to . The marvel is how he gets on at all with such eyes anywhere.' She hopes she will 'charitably come & see me' as she expects 'to be a prisoner for a long time'. Signed 'E. A. Strangford'.

See the entry for the recipient Dawson Turner in the Oxford DNB. Farr's entry in 'Alumni Cantabrigienses' reads as follows: 'FARR, THOMAS. Adm. pens. (age 18) at TRINITY, Apr. 8, 1814. S. [and h.] of Thomas. B. at Beccles, Suffolk. School, Bury St Edmunds (Mr Malkin). Matric. Michs. 1814; B.A. 1818. Ord. deacon (Norwich) June 17…, 1821; priest, Mar. 3, 1822 ('T. Farr, the younger'). Travelled in Spain during the Carlist War, 1S35-7. In 1S38 published A Traveller's Rambling Reminiscences of the Spanish War, in which he defends De Lacy and the British Legion. Died Feb. 8, 1855. Buried at Cheltenham. (Bury St Edmunds Gr. Sch. List; C. R. Hudleston.)' Farr also published three economic pamphlets: 'A Remedy for the Distresses of the Nation' (1840), which elicited a response from Sir Francis Place, and 'A Short Statement of Facts connected with the proposed Changes in our Commercial Tarif [sic]' and 'The Principal Difficulties of the Sliding Scale removed' (both 1841). The present item is 2pp, 4to, on the first leaf of a bifolium, on the reverse of the second leaf of which is written 'To / Dawson Turner Esq / Yarmouth.' In good condition, lightly aged and worn. Folded for postage. Addressed to 'My Dear Sir' and signed 'Thomas Farr', with a strange flourish at the end of the signature. Twenty-six lines of text, in a crabbed and not entirely legible hand. He begins by stating that he is sending him 'a letter of General A [Alanas?] written in answer to one giving him the details of the capture of Irun by Genl Evans - La Gentille Reverende alludes to Mrs Phips the wife of Mr P who was & is now resiging at Tours - she is a pretty woman & fond of dress - as General A writes a most extraordinary hand, I have sent you a copy with the original'. He is also sending 'a note of Evans's should you think it worth preserving - when I was in Madeira a Catalogue had not been printed of the Dutch and Flemish Schools, so you will find no account of the fine Teniers Vandykes & Rubens that are beautifully arranged in the finest gallery in the world'. He is sending a 'copy of the Lithographic work', the 'only one taken in this country' being 'in the name of the President of the Royal Academy', which he asks Turner to keep 'until I have the pleasure of seeing you again'. 'I have to beg your acceptance of my "Reminiscences of the Spanish War", asking him to send a second copy to his 'aunt Farr'. He is on his way to Baden-Baden, and wonders if he can procure for Turner 'some autographs of the Bonaparte family from Hen. R. H. the Dowager Grand Dutchess, who is a niece of Josephines' there. A four-line postscript refers to a lettter without a postmark, and the British Consul at Bayonne.
