First edition. 8vo. 138, [2] pp., with twelve black and white photographic illustrations. Original green cloth, spine lettered in silver, top edge in green, dust jacket (internally clean and unmarked; small amount of marking to rear panel of jacket, otherwise a near fine copy. London, George Allen and Unwin Ltd. 'The LSE had been founded by the Webbs in the 1890s as a college of London University, and had been closely involved in the Edwardian national efficiency movement. In 1919 it was still a small college, catering mainly for part-time students, but Sidney Webb was convinced that the time was ripe for expansion in all areas of the social sciences. He looked to Beveridge as an ambitious and imaginative administrator to be the dynamo for that expansion. Over the next eighteen years Beveridge devoted himself to raising massive funds from such bodies as the Rockefeller Foundation, to a large-scale building programme, and to attracting a range of distinguished scholars in all branches of the social sciences?Tawney, H. J. Laski, L. T. Hobhouse, L. C. Robbins, F. A. Hayek, and Bronislaw Malinowski, to name but a few. By the early 1930s the LSE was recognized as one of the world's leading centres of the social sciences, and Beveridge himself was seen as mainly responsible for its prodigious growth' (ODNB).

41 items from the papers of the railway economist C. E. R. Sherrington [Charles Ely Rose Sherrington] (1897-1973). Sherrington was the son of the Nobel-prize winning physiologist Sir Charles Scott Sherrington (1857-1952). Having served in France with the Oxfordshire Light Infantry and the Railway Transport Establishment of the British Expeditionary Force, Sherrington was lecturer in Economics and Transportation at Cornell University from 1922 to 1924. Returning to Britain, he was Secretary of the Railway Research Service from 1924 to 1962. The RRS had been formed in 1923 and was 'supported by the main line railways and the Metropolitan'. It was devoted 'to the economic study of transport developments in foreign countries and in the dominions in relation to conditions in this country' (see Item 22 below). In 1944 Sherrington was appointed Railway Technical Adviser, SHAEF. At the start of 1929 both Sherrington and his assistant Gilbert Jocelyn Ponsonby (1904-1981) are working for the RRS while also teaching at the LSE, of which the celebrated economist Sir William Beveridge (1879-1963; ODNB) is director. CERS presents Beveridge with an ultimatum over his unsustainable workload and the inadequate conditions, and in the summer the RRS severs its ties with the LSE. Following the move from Houghton Street to Cowley Street CERS and Ponsonby are forced to choose, and the correspondence shows Sherrington leaving the LSE while Ponsonby resigns from the RRS (later becoming 'the doyen of British transport economics of that era'). The collection also contains a CV and another career item relating to Ponsonby's replacement at the RRS, Eric Dunbar Brant, and similar material relating to Charles Edwin Whitworth. Other topics covered are payments and 'privilege tickets'. The correspondence contains fourteen typed items of correspondence, the rest of the material consisting of carbon copies of letters by CERS and others, many of them initialled, and a few other documents such as CVs. Two of the original letters are by Beveridge and nine by the Chairman of the RRS Managing Committee, Robert Bell, who was the Assistant General Manager, London & North Eastern Railway, based at King's Cross Station. Among the copies are six to Beveridge and five to Bell. The material is in good overall condition, with light aging and slight wear to some items, and some rust staining from paperclips. In large envelope from the Social Science Research Council, New York, addressed to 'Dr. C. E. R. Sherrington / Byways / 20, Queens Road / Belmont, Surrey, England'. Unless otherwise stated, items are 1p, 4to. ONE: Copy TL to Bell [from CERS], 9 January 1929, on RRS letterhead, with second copy not on letterhead. 2pp, 4to. Long letter requesting 'some reorganisation', as his 'health will not stand another academic year under the present conditions', as 'the work of the Research Service has been steadily increasing and it has only been possible to keep abreast of it, togther with one's work as lecturer which necessitates frequent publication, by dint of very long hours and granting one's whole time inclusive of week-ends'. TWO: Initialled Copy TL from CERS to LSE lecturer Wilfred Tetley Stephenson (1876-1956), 9 January 1929, on RRS letterhead. Enclosing a copy of Item One. CERS discusses the 'main difficulties facing the organisation' ('accommodation and telephone service'), and possible future arrangements. THREE: TLS from Bell to CERS, 16 January 1929, on letterhead of the Chief General Manager, LNER, King's Cross. Enclosing copies of letters he has written to 'Bushrod and Tetley Stephenson' [Items Four and Five]. 'I think on the whole the discussion to-day was very useful and should go some way to clear the air. It is particularly gratifying that there is no "set" on the part of any of the Companies against the Service going to Cowley Street, but, pleasant as that prospect may be, please do not count too much upon it until we get matters a stage forward'. FOUR: Initia.
