In den WarenkorbBoth in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: 2pp, 12mo. He 'must bear the entire blame' for 'an indiscretion', and is 'exceedingly sorry'. 'Nothing was said between us in regard to the giving or withholding of addresses, & I had not at that time considered the point. But finding that the drafter of the letter had added his address…, I & the fourth signatory added ours & I ventured to add yours - putting your business address, as one is apt to do, but in this case I admit most thoughtlessly, merely because I did not know your private one.' He asks him to 'use this letter as you think fit', explaining that 'The whole thing had to be arranged in a hurry at the last'. TWO: 2pp, 12mo. He has consulted with 'Vaughan', who 'thinks it wiser to take no further notice, having made our protest'. Despite there being points on which he would have liked to reply, Herford considers this 'the more dignified course'. 'It is he, not we, who is open to the charge of knowing better than the government: as usual it has been reserved for the clergyman to make proposals at once more timid & more cruel than any which commended themselves to the lay intelligence'.

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that e…ncompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

In den WarenkorbWardle worked as Kenneth Tynan's deputy on the Observer between 1959 and 1963. Wynne-Rushton had published a play titled 'The Gull's Way' in 1930, and a book on the papacy for Catholic publishers Burns, Oates and Washburne two years later. 2pp, 4to. In fair condition, folded three times, with wear and loss along one fold line of… the second leaf, resulting in loss of a few words of text. Signed 'Irving Wardle' and addressed to 'Dear Mr. Rushton', identified as G. W. Wynne-Rushton by associated correspondence. He does not feel that he can be of much help to Wynne-Rushton 'in suggesting possible markets' for his work. Regarding the 1960 BBC TV production of Saunders Lewis's 'Siwan' he writes: 'It so happened that by the same post that brought your letter, I received a note from Emyr Humphreys, the producer of SIWAN, in which he said how much difficulty he had encountered in getting the BBC to agree to a television production of a play so remote from the current idioms: had it not been an appropriate choice for St. David's Day, the work might not have been seen at all.' He suggests Wynne-Rushton try J. Roose-Evans, manager of the Hampstead Theatre Club, which staged the play of 'Siwan', and 'might be interested in other historical pieces [.] And, of course, you can't lose anything by sending scripts in to the script department of the BBC and independent networks in the normal way. And I wouldn't ignore radio - they're also hard up for material, and much less nervous about adverse ratings and, for that reason, freer in their choice of material, even when it doesn't reflect what happens to be in fashion'.

In den WarenkorbBalogh's entry in the Oxford DNB notes his 'flamboyant mind and considerable moral courage'. The recipient Philip Dosse was proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Films and Filming. See 'Death of a Bookman' by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of 'Books and Book…men' at the time of Dosse's suicide), in Standpoint magazine, October 2018. The collection is in good condition, lightly aged and worn. The material comprises: 14 Typed Letters Signed; 10 Typed Notes Signed; 6 Autograph Letters Signed; 2 Autograph Notes Signed; 4 Autograph Cards Signed. Formats vary but no items is more than one page in length. Most are signed 'Thomas Balogh' and some just 'Thomas', and addressed to 'Dear Dosse' or 'Dear Philip'. Largely a business correspondence, but with several points of interest. On 12 May 1977, he writes of Enoch Powell: 'Mr. Powell, however brilliant he is as an orator, has still not learned that the rate of interest depends mainly on sentiment. There is nothing artificial in not wanting to get foreign money in which [sic] will flow out at the first occasion. We certainly should not pay for it merely because our internal affairs demand higher rates of interest.' On declining to review a book, 6 August 1974: 'Wilf Beckerman is one of my best friends and I make it a principle not to review books written by friends as they are either considered as flattery because of the friendship or result in estrangement.' In an undated letter from the House of Lords he writes: 'There is a book about Michael Arlen which deals with emigration. As a fellow emigré I shd. be fascinated to write about it.' On 2 May 1978 he raises an 'awkward question': 'Once I retire I shall not be able to do reviews without a fee. I am sorry to raise this sordid question but I was under the impression that you had come to an agreement with my agent some time ago and I wondered how you felt about it?' And on 5 June of the same year he writes that he has 'a rather interesting review of Keynes which retells the story of my relationship with him in respect to "Exchange Control", a story which has not been published'. On his return from Jamaica, 20 October 1973: 'I wouldn't mind at all writing a secondary view about Keynes, and I leave it to you as the publisher whether you want to publish it in the same issue or not. The only think [sic] is that I really must have Professor Wise's piece in front of me, as otherwise we might be boringly duplicating each other.' There are several references to the economic situation. On 28 April 1977 he writes that he is also 'very pessimistic about the outlook as you can see from the enclosed copy of an article of mine which appeared in "The Banker" on "The limitation of the 'safety net'".' In an undated letter: 'The Unions seem bent on self-destructino & until that changes I shall remain gloomy.' And an undated letter, written from the House of Lords 'with fervent good wishes', reads: 'My dear Philip, I am distressed by your news. We are sinking in this country to a new barbarity with all beautiful things wiped out. I do hope you will be able to overcome your difficulties'. On several occasions he invites Dosse for drinks, and in June of 1974 he complains of 'jaundice which does not encourage what the Americans call "creative writing"'. Also present is a TLS from his agent Felicity Bryan of Curtis Brown Ltd, 25 April 1974, regarding a fee.

In den Warenkorb6pp, 12mo. Paginated [1]-6. Lightly aged and a bit grubby. Folded twice. On six leaves of paper, which Herford has made up by tearing in half the 4to leaves of one of his students' essays. Complete, and signed at the end 'C H Herford'. Written in a close hand, with numerous deletions and emendations. He begins by describing how…Shelley met his death, and his final writing, before dismissing the suggestion that he committed suicide: 'we may dismiss the utterly uncalled for suggestion that his own hand "lifted" the veil'. Citing Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch in support, he also dismisses 'the theory, first broached a generation after his death, on dubious & indirect evidence, that his frail skiff was deliberately run down by native fishers who mistook it for the boat of the wealthy "milord" Byron'. Having dealt with these matters, he states that: 'The hundred years which have since passed have shown how limited, beyond the desolating catastrophe of the moment, was the power of that storm'. He discusses how the years in which Shelley lived - 'obscure, lonely, maligned, derided' - point 'towards oblivion & decay', in contrast with the poet's '"rich & strange" after-fame'. He attacks at length Matthew Arnold's assessment of Shelley, and contrasts the poet's attitude to loneliness ('a symbol of his own frailty & failure') with Wordsworth's ('the source of sublime feeling'). In his view, 'the prevalence in Shelley of this cloudland of sublime abstractions must not blind us to the fine, & even genial, human qualities which were especially his'. He quotes from the poet, stating that everyone 'can enjoy the company of this very companionable Shelley', but concluding with the thought that readers need to be persuaded that 'that dream of a humanity in which not force but hope & faith & love are the determining principles of social order, was not a thin abstraction spun by a metaphysical brain, but the vision of an ardent heart. Cor Cordium, - "heart of hearts", that, & not even "great poet", was the inscription set with the verses already quoted upon his grave, by the friend [i.e. Trelawney] who had plucked its physical symbol from the flames that consumed his body on the day of that sublime romantic funeral, by the resounding shore between the dazzling marble mountains & the deep blue Mediterranean Sea'. From the J. Cumming Walters papers.
