3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair conditon, lightly aged. Brougham's handwriting is bad, and the reading is in part tentative. He is 'extremely sorry to learn from Mrs A's letter' that the recipient has been indisposed. Brougham could not have made the appointment suggested in A[rmstrong]'s letter as he was 'in the House of Lords every day except Wednesday'. He has received the document, but has not been able to look into the matter, 'so oppressed as I have been with business which could not be postponed'. He will be free to do so after the following Monday, and will write to A then. Postscript: 'In presenting the bills respecting penal statutes next week I may have an opportunity of renewing my protest agt the abuse in question'. From the papers of the family of the second wife of the geologist Alexander Henry Green (1832-1896), previously Miss Wilhelmina Maria Armstrong of Clifton.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Xii, 684; 645-661 (Index), 662-663 (Errata And Notes) (Pagination Duplicated).

One Volume Edition; Also Issued In Two Volumes, And Brougham Followed With Two More Volumes Later. Near Fine, Slight Rubbing. Henry Peter Brougham, 1St Baron Brougham And Vaux (1778 - 1868) Helped Found The Edinburgh Review In 1802, And Quickly Became Known As Its Foremost Contributor, With Articles On Everything Including Science, Politics, Colonial Policy, Literature, Poetry, Surgery, Mathematics And The Fine Arts. He Published Several Scientific Papers Through The Royal Society, Notably On Light And Colors And On Prisms, And At The Age Of Only 25 Was Elected A Fellow, Although His Work Was Later Found To Be Remarkably Incompetent. In 1810 He Was Member Of Parliament As A Whig, And Then Represented A Number Of Constituencies, Notably Advocating Education For The Poor, Until Becoming A Peer In 1834. In 1826 Brougham, Along With Wellington, Was One Of The Clients And Lovers Named In The Notorious Memoirs Of Harriette Wilson, But Brougham Paid And Extorted Fee And Secured His Anonymity.

Charles Greville, Who Was Clerk Of The Privy Council For 35 Years, Recorded His "Genius And Eloquence" Was Marred By "Unprincipled And Execrable Judgement." Brougham Was Never To Hold Office Again. However, For More Than Thirty Years After His Fall He Continued To Take An Active Part In The Judicial Business Of The House Of Lords, And In Its Debates, Turning Fiercely Against His Former Political Associates, But Continuing His Efforts On Behalf Of Reform Of Various Kinds. He Also Devoted Much Of His Time To Writing. He Had Continued To Contribute To The Edinburgh Review, The Best Of His Writings Being Subsequently Published As Historical Sketches Of Statesmen Who Flourished In The Time Of George Iii. In 1834, He Was Elected A Foreign Member Of The Royal Swedish Academy Of Sciences. In 1837, Brougham Presented A Bill For Public Education, Arguing That "It Cannot Be Doubted That Some Legislative Effort Must At Length Be Made To Remove From This Country The Opprobrium Of Having Done Less For The Education Of The People Than Any Of The More Civilized Nations On Earth". In 1838, After News Came Up Of British Colonies Where Emancipation Of The Slaves Was Obstructed Or Where The Ex-Slaves Were Being Badly Treated And Discriminated Against, Lord Brougham Stated In The House Of Lords: "The Slave … Is As Fit For His Freedom As Any English Peasant, Aye, Or Any Lord Whom I Now Address. I Demand His Rights; I Demand His Liberty Without Stint… . I Demand That Your Brother Be No Longer Trampled Upon As Your Slave". He Helped Establish The Society For The Diffusion Of Useful Knowledge And Also University College London, As Well As Holding A Number Of Academic Posts, Including Rector, University Of Edinburgh. In Later Years He Spent Much Of His Time In The French City Of Cannes, Making It A Popular Resort For The British Upper-Classes. Brougham's Political Philosophy Was Included On The Cambridge Syllabus For History And Political Philosophy, Where It Was Considered Among The Major Works On The Topic.…

2pp., 12mo. On bifolium with mourning border. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, with 6cm vertical closed tear to first leaf, affecting a couple of words. The reverse of the second leaf carries a broken seal in black wax, and is addressed to Clanricarde. The letter begins: 'My dear Ld C: | We are in a great difficulty at the H. of Lords today for want of a third Peer.' He will esteem it a great favour if Clanricarde 'will come at ten and enable me to go on with the Causes - for otherwise there will be the whole expence thrown upon the packs'.…

6pp., 12mo. In good condition, on lightly aged paper. Brodie's hand is not easy to decipher, but the letter is fulsome in its praise of Brougham and his latest work. Brodie begins by acknowledging the receipt of 'the last volume of Lord Brougham's Works published by you', a copy of which he had 'previously got as a subscriber'. He continues: 'In my poor apprehension it is even, if possible, superior to its predecessor, & more than justifies the character I formerly ventured to sketch of that illustrious individual', He continues in his praise, with reference to 'Dean Swift', 'Captn. Macheath and his associates' and 'Peachum'. In his view, never did a Lord Chancellor 'enjoy such popularity. But times are altered. The power of conferring favours is in other hands & all who expect patronage here, trouble at his resuming the vantage ground so greatly his due'. He continues with a discussion of the position of the press in the matter of Brougham's reputation. He concludes: 'Why do I trouble you with all this: - It is simply as an introduction to a statement that, did I know how to get it published, I should be proud & happy to down a notice or review of this volume.' In a postscript he claims to 'know the author of the article [reviewing the volume] in the N[orth]. British Review. It discloses of the spirit I have alluded to'.…

4pp., 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, disbound, with evidence of side stitching and damage at foot of spine. Taking as his text a speech by Brougham 'vainly opposing the third reading of the Factories Bill, (1844)', Hardcastle gives his own view, concluding: 'It is scarcely too much to say that the step gained by the passing of Married Women's Property Act (1870) would be more than retraced; and a new force would be given to the argument urged against extending the suffrage to women, - that persons too helpless to be trusted to dispose of their own labour, cannot be trusted to make laws for the Empire.' Three copies on COPAC.…
