12mo bifolium, 4 pp. Good, on aged, laid paper. Good, on lightly aged paper. Addressed to 'My dear Charles', and from a collection of papers belonging to Charles James Manning. From the context may well be written by the wife of William Manning's eldest son Frederick (Charles's brother, as well as Cardinal Manning's). The author has 'been quite stunned with the sad & awfully sudden news' [of William Manning's death]. The author's uncle, 'Col ' agreed 'that it would alarm [Frederick] to see me [at 'Pangburn']'. Will 'go up to London early tomorrow & go straight to the City where I shall hear what has been done - I knew I could be of no use at Brighton'. 'You know you may always command my best services for any member of Fredk's family as readily as for my own; for they have been to me, as my own; but you are all so able to act, & so many in number, that I feel I am better away; & I am now, but a nervous, poor creature - the last 12 months have tried me much. [.] I feel for you all deeply, but for poor Maria [William Manning's widow] most! for they have been so inseperable [sic] - poor thing! [.]'.…

Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The Legacy: Charles Edward DavisMay the intent of this book inspire all Christians to be a better you in Christ and a super conqueror for Christ.To define a spiritual servant is one who volunteers of their time, talent and treasure to be used to further the causes of the kingdom of God.A spiritual servant lives a Christ centered life that demonstrates loyalty to God; dedication to the work of the Lord; seeks to please God according to the Word of the Lord; seeks to develop oneself spiritually; and help others develop spiritually; makes sacrifices for the work of the Lord; and is ever learning to exhort the word of the Lord.Charles Edward Davis has lived ninety-six years on this earth.

The Allen brothers were born in Wales in the late 18th century. They were later to claim to be the grandsons of Bonnie Prince Charlie, Charles Edward Stuart, 1720-1788, and in the 1871 census claimed their birthplace as Versailles. The pseudonyms for the two brothers are ".extremely confusing, and there is conflicting information about [them] from all sources, including the venerable Dictionary of National Biography. To compound the issue, these same sources seem to repeatedly confuse the two brothers and their various names. What is agreed upon is that the brothers were enamored with the lore of Scotland, and invented an elaborate genealogical record, which changed and was added to throughout their lives." (Callahan). They are the authors of the notorious Vestiarium Scoticum, a book claiming to be based upon a 16th century manuscript on Scottish tartans that was soon revealed as a forgery. .…

Zustand: Very good plus. First Edition. Stunning original manuscript abecedary, a serpentine and thistle-laden gift to credulous antiquary Sir Thomas Dick Lauder in the year of the artist's co-publication of the famous disputed VESTIARIUM SCOTICUM. The author of this virtuosic tribute, here styling himself Charles Eduard, born Charles Edward Manning Allen and widely known as Charles Edward Stuart, was one half of the notorious Sobieski Stuarts: brothers, poets, and Welsh-born claimants to the Stuart line. They were two gallant false pretenders who may or may not have been true believers in their own representations, who maintained their impostures to the very end and who had great instincts for making aristocratic friends and posing for romantic photographs. Their most famous publication - 1842's VESTIARIUM SCOTICUM, followed in 1845 by THE COSTUME OF THE CLANS - purported to be a copy of a copy of a lost 16th-century manuscript. It was denounced in some quarters as a forgery almost immediately, but made a powerful impact. Described by one modern historian as "shot through with pure fantasy and bare-faced forgery" (Trevor-Roper, 36), it nevertheless had immense influence on the history of Scottish tartans. The designs in the VESTIARIUM were taken up with enthusiasm, and many are in use today by the clans to whom they were attributed - among them, the Lauder tartan. Sir Thomas Dick Lauder befriended the Sobieski Stuart brothers in the 1820s and soon set about to promote their claims and manuscripts. On the authenticity of the VESTIARIUM he consulted Sir Walter Scott, who allowed that the work was "cleverly done," but mistrusted the source: "These Hay Allans are men of warm imaginations," he recorded in his journal, and sent Lauder a long warning letter, both learned and tactful, "on the subject of these Allans and their manuscript." Despite this warning, Lauder chose to be persuaded, and when at long last the VESTIARIUM was published, this original abecedary was presented to Lauder by Charles Stuart, presumably in gratitude for his long backing and friendship. Lauder had a warm imagination of his own: the author of several historical romances, he was also the subject of an ungenerous footnote in the COMPLETE BARONETAGE, which records that having "utterly failed" to prove descent from certain other Lauders, he put up a monument regardless, stating that descent "as he wished it to be." In this the abecedary's owner appears to embrace the quip of one from a later century: It's not a lie, if you believe it. With our thanks to Bill Zachs for his initial identification of the artist.
