In den WarenkorbDimensions roughly 9.5 x 6.5 cm. In good condition, on lightly-aged laid paper. Crisply printed within a decorative border. In the following transcription the manuscript additions in an eighteenth-century hand are placed within square brackets: 'This BOOK | Belongs to the | LENDING | Parochial Library | OF | [Woodchurch] | In th…e County of | [ ] | And Diocese of | [Chester] | Established by | Dr Bray's Associates, | 17[93]'. (The word 'of' in the line 'In the County of' has been deleted.) Note: "The Associates of Dr. Bray was a philanthropic group founded in 1724 by the English clergyman Thomas Bray to educate enslaved African Americans in the British North American colonies. Educated at Oxford, Bray founded two groupsthe Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (1699) and the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (1701)charged with spreading literacy and Christianity throughout England and America. A friend's bequest led to the establishment of the Associates of Dr. Bray, dedicated to the religious education of enslaved African Americans in particular. This organization used a faith-based curriculum to justify slavery in an attempt to force African Americans to accept their roles as enslaved peoples. After briefly merging with a group intent on founding a convict colony in Georgia, the Associates concentrated on their primary function. Missions to Georgia and South Carolina were deemed unsuccessful, but in 1757 Benjamin Franklin suggested that a school be established in Philadelphia. When that provided favorable results, Franklin recommended that Bray schools be opened in New York; Newport, Rhode Island; and Williamsburg.[.]" [Google Dr Bray and associates] See Image.

[Richard Wright Procter, Manchester poet.] Long Autograph Letter Signed ('R. W. Procter.') to C. W. Sutton, discussing the huntsman Tom Moody and Sir Edward Lugden, and describing how he once 'watched hounds' and 'quaffed brown beer with huntsmen'.

In den WarenkorbSee Procter's entry in the Oxford DNB. 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition on lightly-aged paper. 85 lines of closely- and neatly-written text. He begins by thanking Sutton for 'the welcome portrait of Sir Edward Lugden'. He gives an example of Lugden's 'happy election repartee'(a joke about 'Lather' and…'the present price of "Soap"'), for which, if no other reason, he 'deserves a niche in my tonsorial gallery'. (Lugden (1781-1875), a noted Conservative politician, was reputed to be the son of a barber.) Stating that he will be happy to tell Sutton 'all I know touching Tom Moody', he gives an account, amounting to a quarter of the letter, of the only occasion on which he 'watched hounds' and 'quaffed brown beer with huntsmen', while going 'with a friend to explore the wild beauties of The Brushes (an enlarged edition of Boggart Ho' Clough,) approaching Saddleworth'. He stating that he 'had several times the pleasure of seeing an oil painting of the famous whipper-in, at a shop in Long Millgate', wondering how it could have travelled 'so far out of its course'. The picture dealer had no doubt ('have picture dealers ever any doubts?') that it was genuine. 'The price was thirty shillings, which Sum I was very nearly expending. The shop is now closed, but the picture might possibly be found in the possession of Kirby Ogden, Undertaker, and dealer in old curiosities.' After a paragraph noting 'the neglected condition of honest Tom's grave in Barrow churchyard' he concludes with reference to 'a sketch of Moody's grave', which an individual 'has promised to unveil - or unearth - some early day.'
