See his entry in the Oxford DNB. ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ('Mehemet Ali'). The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet 'which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute [.] attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s. In October Cobden embarked on a long tour, sailing via Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta to the eastern end of the Mediterranean, as far as Constantinople, meeting Mehmet Ali in Egypt, before returning via Greece in April 1837.' The present text is the conclusion of the draft manuscript of the account he gave of that meeting and had published in Tait's Edinburgh Magazine in November 1838. 1p, foolscap 8vo. The page is headed '20' and carries ten lines of text, one and a half lines of which are deleted. Lightly aged, worn and creased. On reverse, in pencil, in a contemporary hand: 'Cobden / M. S. S His work in Turkey'. The text reads (with deleted passage in square brackets): 'Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man, [- the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed -] and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects, - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene, not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali'. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person, with reverse blank. In fair condition, lightly aged. Reads: 'Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis, & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury, a memorial'. THREE: Printed form response with thick black border. 1p, 32mo. In fair condition, on discoloured paper. Reads (with manuscript text in square brackets): '[Mr & Mrs Cobden] return thanks for the favor of [Mr Smiths] kind enquiries. / [Midhurst 20 June 1856]'. (The word 'return' has been altered from 'returns'.).…

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.…

3pp., 4to. Bifolium. 57 lines. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed, on reverse of second leaf, to 'William W. Greenough | Andover | Massachusetts', with circular postmark in red ink and remains of red wax seal. Regarding 'the article on Bosworth's Anglo-Sax. Dict.', Henry writes: 'From the few first pages that I have read & the glance that I have given at the rest, I am satisfied that I shall be glad to print your article. But it is impossible, on account of the handwriting, to print it in its present state.' Henry is 'quite sure no compositor in the office can make it all out [.] The piece, you know, abounds with Saxon words & with unusual names of places, authors, &c - and to read the handwriting accurately requires a greater familiarity with the subject than I possess. | In writing for a review the handwriting should, in all cases, be plainer than yours [.] There is another difficulty. I do not know whether I shall not find a difficulty in getting Saxon type.' He suggests 'three ways of getting along in this case', the second being for Greenough 'to be here yourself for a couple of days to correct the press'. Whatever course was adopted, Greenough's article was published in the New York Review in 1838.…

2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. In a difficult hand, with the recipient's name indecipherable. He will not be able to insert the portrait of Sir William Pepperrell in his book (the second volume of his 'Lives of American Merchants'), as the 'publishers [Derby & Jackson, New York] are unwilling to pay for more than expense of printing and paper', and he has 'been at a good deal of expense already on that score'. The volume was published in 1858. The portrait, 'Eng[rave]d. by Wm. N. Dunnel, from a Daguerrotype', is 9.5 x 12.5cm, on paper 11 x 18cm, with facsimile of Hunt's hand and signature beneath the image. In good condition, neatly attached to a paper mount. …

4to, 3 pp. In a bifolium. 52 lines of neatly-written text. Clear and complete. Very good on lightly-aged and creased paper. Part of the second leaf has been cut away on the breaking open of the letter, and is now under the seal, with no loss of text. The seal is cracked, with a light imprint of Boucher's monogram beneath a jester's head. The letter concerns the enclosure of the Langtoft Estate and 'Mr. Bankes', who 'never had any Legal Right to interfere in the Business'. Norton's last letter has made Boucher 'very uneasy', as he declines 'to have any more to do with my unfortunate Concerns in your Neighbourhood'. 'Whatever may have been the Case with You, I have been too long blind, but my Eyes have now been opened.' Declares himself pleased with 'Mr. Gee, who appears to be a plain well-disposed honest Man: &, notwithstanding Mrs. Banks's Insinuations to the Contrary, I do assure You, when I fairly put the Question, He honestly said, if He might chuse, Mr. Norton was the Man whom, above all others, He should like, & did wish, to be my Agent.' Tells him not to 'send in your Accts. till the whole of the Buildings is compleated'. See Image.…

8pp. 8vo. [To his older sister, Sarah Disraeli, 1802-1859.]Ralph wrote you a bulletin. I have nothing very particular to add or rather I am so pressed with day's work that I can hardly bring my mind to write. I suppose we shall get down to H[ughende]n in ten days or so but it depends on many things wh[ich] don't go on as well as I c[oul]d wish. Last Saturday I dined at Sir Chas Burrell with the County of Sussex in the shape of D. of Richmond, Ld. March etc. Sir John Buller represented Devon & C. Buckes or there was Herries. The best guest how[eve]r were turtle, whitebait, venison, & Burgundy - our host very courteous & courtly. The Rothchildren have all gone abroad to Wildbad principally bet[wee]n Baden Baden & Stuttgart I remember it very picturesque in the black forest we slept there overnight & eat trout out of the stream. Lola Montez' marr[ia]ge makes a sensation. I believe he has only 3,000 per annum, not 13. It was an affair of a few days She sent to ask the refusal of his dog, wh[ich] she understood was for sale Of course it wasn't, being very beautiful But he sent it as a present She rejoined he called & they were married in a week. He is only 21 & wished to be distinguished Their dinner invitations are already out I am told. She quite convinced him, previously, that she was not Mrs. James as for the King of Bavaria (who by the bye allows her 1500£, per annum & to whom she really writes every day) that he is. was only a malheureuse passion. I am very tired, having been working five hours on the Ceylon comm[it]tee, wh[ich] is very interesting []".…
