See his entry, and those of Clarendon and Lister, in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of the Earl's sister Lady Theresa Lewis (1803-1865), who was married to Lister. (See their entries in the Oxford DNB.) 1p, 12mo. Cochrane's note is on the recto of the first leaf of a bifolium, with the list of books on the recto of the second. In good condition, lightly aged. Addressed to 'Rt Hon The Earl of Clarendon'. Adopting a diplomatic approach, Cochrane writes: 'My Lord, / Annexed is a list of the books had from the Library by Mr Lister, which have not been returned. / I have the honor to be, My Lord, / Your Lordship's faithful & obliged Servant / J. G. Cochrane'. Seven books are listed, with formats, two withdrawn on 11 April and five on 11 May. The two from 11 April are scored through in pencil, with the note 'returned by L[ad]y Thomas Lister [i.e. Lady Theresa] some time ago'. Receipt of the other five volumes is given in the form of a signature dated 27 June 1842. See Image of list of books.

2pp., 12mo. In a windowpane mount on a leaf removed from an album. The letter itself very good, on aged paper; the mount worn at extremities. He begins by informing the recipient that his 'last Letter has made ample atonement for the provocation of the preceding', and he has 'ever been the foremost, both in word & deed, to keep my wings in motion. I speak this seriously: my former note was only a temporary petulance'. The second paragraph begins: 'I must positively have another Paper for my Orators'. He has 'run to a fearful length, & yet have cramped myself all the way. Besides what I enclose, I shall have ready as much to forward, in the shape of reflexion, inferences &c, before I enclose with my legal oratory. And then I have the Political Oratory on my hands'. He continues: 'I engage to bring Demosthenes upon the stage in a new manner, & when I have him there, I should like to shew him to as much advantage as I can'. The letter continues in the same vein, with a postscript beginning: 'Let me hear as soon as you can, that my time of gestation is extended.'.

8vo. 1 page. To Mr. Macdougall, thanking for a pair of grouse: "Lord Clarendon returns his best thanks to Mr. Macdougall for a very acceptable Present of a brace of Grouse. Lord Clarendon was at dinner with Company or would have returned a written answer by Mr. Macdougall's messenger. Lord C. is very sensible to Mr. Macdougall's obliging attention". - Slightly brownstained; with small marginal flaws, a small tear rebacked with paper. Mounted on a strip of paper.

First edition, large and thick paper copy, handsomely bound in contemporary English black morocco, and with the near-contemporary bookplate to the front pastedown of John Evans as Bishop of Bangor. Clarendon's fiercely critical Survey is the most significant and sustained early response to Hobbes's Leviathan. Clarendon (1609-1674) was chief advisor to Charles I during the Civil War and Lord Chancellor to Charles II from the Restoration to 1667. He knew Hobbes from their days at court. Clarendon's view of government was very conservative, in the tradition of Tudor and Stuart paternalism; though not explicitly mentioning the divine right of kings, he draws on its tenets. He rejects Hobbes on two grounds - that government did not in any time or place evolve in the manner Hobbes outlines and that even if Hobbes's theories were right, a government constructed upon such absolutist principles could not work. In Clarendon's view, Leviathan consequently posed a real threat to civil peace. "Clarendon's reply is an important document in terms of seventeenth-century political thought. Political theory must, after all, be judged as well in terms of political reality. Perhaps more than any other man in Restoration England, Clarendon was qualified to make such a critique" (Miller, p. 105). The work was completed in the early 1670s and published following his death - "a sign, perhaps, of the revival of Anglican royalist fortunes from the mid-1670s" (ODNB). Madan notes the printing of thick paper copies, though the Bodleian's copy is not one of these. A scattering of large, thick paper copies, in various bindings, can be traced in institutional holdings and commerce. This copy is last recorded in market listings at Sotheby's in 1977 (November 15, lot 55). The clerical career of John Evans (c.1652-1724) began with his appointment as the first chaplain of the East India Company. He was appointed as Bishop of Bangor in 1701, holding the position until 1716 whereupon he took the more lucrative Irish see of Meath until his death. He was a fierce Whig and a strong proponent of the English interest in the Irish House of Lords. ESTC R23248; Madan, III, 3110; Wing C4420. George E. Miller, Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, 1983.
