paperback. 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 encompasses 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.

Both items 2pp., 12mo. Both in good condition, on lightly-aged paper, with slight evidence of previous mounting. The first letter (addressed to 'The Editor | Cambridge Daily News') begins: 'When I received my L.L.D Degree from the University (in June 1931) you published in your issue of June 6, some photographs of the procession to the Senate House on that occasion.' He is writing 'on the off chance' that 'original prints' survive, 'as I am most anxious to obtain one, for my Autobiography, if it is in any way possible to do so'. In the second letter (to 'Mr. Stuart') he thanks the editor for the trouble he has taken: 'The photograph is excellent and exactly what I wanted.' He is also 'much amused' by Stuart's 'reminiscence of the Hastings Election (1906, I assume), but shocked to learn (what I had entirely forgotten) that I could ever have spoken against my old friend Freeman Willingdon!' (Fareham was a Conservative, and Willingdon a Liberal.) He recalls that he has stayed with Willingdon 'in India & elsewhere so often since; and was his Sponsor when he took his seat as a "Viscount", in the House of Lords; some 15 years ago.' To prove that there is 'no permanent breach', he is sending a photograph taken when Willingdon 'gave away the Prizes at Cheltenham College - of which I was President'.

2pp., 4to. Bifolium. Two matching panels have been removed, one each from the foot of each leaf, removing the signature and some text from the first leaf. On aged paper, with closed tears along crease lines. Addressed by Le Bas on the reverse of the second leaf, with his seal in red wax and a postmark, to 'S. S. Ward Esqre. | Accountant General's office | London'. Le Bas writes to express 'the relief & gratitude which I have derived from the assurance of your satisfaction with my humble efforts to do justice to the memory of Bishop Middleton. The reputation of such a man is public property; and fearful is the responsibility of him who presumes to lay his hand upon the ark of a treasure so sacred.' He continues in the same vein, concluding with the postscript: 'P.S. You will be pleased, perhaps surprized, to hear that the Court of Directors have very kindly & liberally taken 40 Copies'. Le Bas's biography of Middleton was published in London by Rivingtons in 1831.

See Napier's entry, and that of his sister Maria's husband John Gellibrand Hubbard (1805-1889), 1st Baron Addington, in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged and discoloured, with small closed tear to a crease. Part of letter torn away on opening, and now under small black wax seal (good impression of crest with letter N). Folded four times. Addressed, with three postmarks, on reverse of second leaf, to 'The Rt Honble | The Lady Napier | Kew Green'. Minuted by Lady Napier: 'Cambridge Novr. 1838'. 64 lines of neatly-written text. He greets his mother as 'My dear Mamma', and begins by expressing delight at the arrival of his sister Maria on the previous day, 'though it happened at rather an unfortunate time for my occupations. I am glad to see her looking so very well and wearing her curls, but I miss you very much and I wish you had been able to come along with them.' Despite the fact that 'Cambridge is particularly wet & dirty', Maria and 'Hubbard' (Maria had married John Hubbard, the future Lord Addington, in 1837) breakfasted with him that morning. 'Sedgwick and we sat talking till Church time when we got squeezed into St Mary's and heard Melville preach much worse than usual.' The letter proceeds with references to 'Whewell', Trinity Chapel, 'Thorp', 'the Philosophical society', 'Ld & Lady Fitzalan', 'Lucy', Lady Kinlock. He reports that 'Cambridge was very much shocked by the Duke of Wellington's reported stroke and delighted to hear it was only a cold.' Turning to personal matters he writes: 'Maria is very much cut up about her cook who after appearing to be a pattern of culinary morality for some months has turned out a peculating thief besides having had several children in the house, which she clandestinely conveyed out of the way in the dirty clothes basket'. One of Sedgwick's dog's five puppies is mousing for him. 'Maria says that Sir Alexander has at last gone north and high time it was for I see Mr Ewart has gone down to stand for the boroughs he has been petting so long through Patrick.' He ends by mentioning 'Sir Thomas misfortunes whiuch are so very hard upon his old age but Maria declares that he seems to bear it very cheerfully.' He concludes: 'I write this [dull] letter late at night dear Mother, it is only to announce Maria's happy arrival and I intend to despatch a longer one to 9. this week. Lady Fitz. is pale and plain & Maria cust her out.' The letter is signed 'Napier / Trin. Coll. Sunday 12 o'clock'.
