The letter begins: 'It would afford me very great pleasure to help you in the matter of "The Scientific Roll" This is not a Literary or Scientific locality! and we have given up our Booksellers' Shop'. If Ramsay will send 'a copy of the numbers printed', he will 'give a notice… in the "Hertfordshire Mercury" and perhaps that will make it known and induce people to take it.' The Austin family continued to run the Hertfordshire Mercury until the 1980s. Their printing firm, founded at the beginning of the nineteenth century, still operates, with a royal warrant.

Title pages and contents pages (with accurate contents) say that these are volumes 24 and 25; however, the individual issues are numbered as vols. 25 & 26. I can't explain this. A good plus copy in a fine new binding by Milagro of Corrales, of green cloth with beautiful marbled endpapers…. Some foxing on plates, very little elsewhere. Contributions to this remarkable magazine include: The Lady's Yes, Pain in Pleasure and Loved Once by Elizabeth B. Barrett (Elizabeth Barrett Browning); Terpsichore by Oliver Wendell Holmes; John Shaw and 2 Sketches of Naval Men: John Barry and John Templer Shubrick by James Fenimore Cooper; New York Fountains and Astor Baths by Catharine M. Sedgwick; Review of Orion, Our Contributors: Robert T. Conrad (unattributed) and the poem Dreamland by Edgar Allan Poe, plus several other unattributed reviews (Poe no longer was editor in this year but still an important contributor); Childhood, Nuremberg, Annie of Tharaw and The Arsenal at Springfield by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; Earth's Holocaust by Nathaniel Hawthorne; A Mystical Ballad and New Year's Eve, 1844 by James Russell Lowell; The Waning Moon and The Paradise of Tears by William Cullen Bryant. In the later volume would probably have been the 1st appearance of 'The Raven' if the editors had not foolishly turned it down. (It was published by Nathaniel Parker Willis in his New York Mirror in 1845.) Includes also "Our Contributors nos. 10-16 (Joseph C. Neal, Nathaniel Parker Willis, Robert T. Conrad, James Fenimore Cooper, Joseph R. Chandler, Ann S.

On aged and worn paper, with holing to one corner from stud which attached the leaves together. He was pleased to hear from Mansel, and understands from his letter that 'notwithstanding your disabilities you manage to put in a deal of work'.… He continues: 'I shall be particularly interested in your plays, which are more in my line than music. He quotes Mansel's 'notes on the print of my hand', which he finds 'particularly interesting, in view of the fact that they were made more than 11 years ago'. The notes predict 'great misfortune, danger between the ages of 40-45, perhaps illness connected with the heart'. He recalls that in 1898, when 'crossing from New York to Liverpool, two or three American ladies, who affected a knowledge of palmistry, regarding which I was a pronounced sceptic, made practically the same prediction of a great trouble, "worse than death," one of them said, which would probably overtake me before I reached 50 years of age'. He 'reached 50 years without serious trouble or illness of any account, had heart trouble in 1914, which was practically cured by a sea voyage. | In 1917, I suffered the great nervous collapse, which for months, made life a blank to me.' On the question of 'the other notes', he feels that 'when lines are read by a friend, there is a predisposition to flatter'. He would like to spend a weekend with Mansel, but his diary is full in the period preceding a planned 'holiday to St. Malo'. The postscript concerns the Anglo-Persian Oil Company.

In den WarenkorbEmerson's novels have undergone a re-evaluation in recent years. The first six were republished by Quartet Books as 'Rediscovered Classics' in 2017, and in 2021 by Quadrant Books. 'Books and Bookmen' was one of a stable of seven London arts magazines owned by Philip Dosse (1925-1980) of Hansom Books. Emerson, who was the editor…of the magazine at the time of Dosse's suicide, has published an account of her time there: 'Death of a Bookman', Standpoint, October 2018. The present three items date from an earlier period, when Emerson was working as an assistant in the interim period between school and college. The three items are in good condition, lightly aged and folded for postage, and all signed 'Sally C. Emerson'. ONE: ALS, 22 January [1975]. 2pp, landscape 12mo. She gives a list of four books, with full and half price, which she has kept for herself, and asks to be paid for reviews, minus the total. She discusses the 'system of my receiving and returning the books', which she feels works well. She is finding the writing of reviews 'less difficult to do, but must admit I'd find it a strain to do more than two pages a month'. The letter carries calculations by Dosse. TWO: TLS, 11 May 1975. 1p, 4to. 'I quite understand about having to cut b&b it's a wonder it's remained so fat for so long in these lean times. I was of course disappointed to hear of the exodus of books noticed but not heartbroken because it was an enormous amount of work to do on top of a full-time job. Now perhaps I shall have the time to do an occasional interview for b & b as well as reviews.' After discussing a move 'to a flat in Canonbury' and a reference to 'Tony' she writes: 'I have very much enjoyed doing books noticed. It's taught me much about reviewing as well as educating me in a motley collection of subjects.' THREE: TLS, 21 August 1975. 1p, 4to. She is writing, at the instigation of 'Cis', regarding money owed for reviews, and discusses this matter, including an autograph note on books 'from the plain children's book reviews'. 'I see Bron Waugh is advertising b&b as ardently as ever in his diary in Private Eye with every justification for b&b is plump with interest if not with pages.' She ends with the news that she is 'still working at The Illustrated London News, and enjoying it, but Hansom books has only to beckon. . .'.

He asks Nichol to 'find space for the enclosed letter in the Gentleman's Magazine'. He is 'acquainted with the pedigree in question', but does not t…hink that 'Sir Bernard Burke's statements are in all cases to bee relied upon'. The letter continues: 'I do not know whether you are in Mr Potter's secrets. His first volume, so long looked for, seems no nearer publication now than it was when first announced.' Thompson has 'received applications to undertake the republication' of Nichols's 'grandfather's work' [John Nichols (1745-1826)], but has 'several times declined to do so'. He concludes: 'It would be well if Mr Potter brought out a volume or part, if he wishes to retain the good wishes of his subscribers'.

Heavily-aged newsprint, chipped and worn, with the top and bottom halves of the front page separated along a horizontal fold line. The article on Synge's play covers the first two of the six columns on the front page, with a…further quarter-column on the back page. The headlines indicate the tone: 'NEW YORK'S PROTEST AGAINST A VILE PLAY | Hostile Demonstration Unparalleled In The History Of The City Greets "The Playboy" - Actors Hooted Off The Stage In First Act, The Police Reserves Called Out And More Than A Hundred Citizens Ejected - Supporters Were Largely English - Barefooted Women Act Like Prostitutes in Dublin Slums Capturing Drunken Soldiers And Sailors - Disgraceful And Disgusting Spectacle. To the right of the article at the centre of the front page is a caricature of W. B. Yeats ('Willie') and Lady Gregory, captioned 'The "Playboy" and his Protectors', and subtitled 'The Latest Emanation of "The Mind of Ireland."' Beneath the cartoon, taking up the remains of the third column and a small part of the fourth is a similarly-hysterical article on G. B. Shaw's play 'The Shewing Up of Blanco Posnet', under the headline: 'SHAW RELIEVES HIS MIND. | Angry at American Criticism of His Grotesque Play, He Hurls Gross Abuse at the American People, Accuses the Clan-na-Gael of Being the Ally of Dublin Castle and the Editor of "The Gaelic American"'.

In den WarenkorbSee his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the archives of Philip Dosse, proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of the 'Seven Arts' group of magazines, including 'Books and Bookmen' and 'Plays and Players'. See 'Death of a Bookman' by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of 'Books and Bookmen' at the time of Dosse's suicide), in Standpo…int magazine, October 2018. 2pp, 4to. The letterhead, on both leaves, is topped by a pleasing 10 x 6 cm woodcut of Combe Florey House. The paper is creased, otherwise in good condition, and entirely legible. Signed 'Auberon Waugh' with a handful of minor autograph corrections. Folded twice for postage. He begins with reference to his review work for Dosse's 'Books and Bookmen': 'I begin to regret not asking for 'Mitchell Beazley's JOYS OF KNOWLEDGE, about which I am growing extremely suspicious. [.] The extracts previously shown in the Sunday Times Colour Supplement struck me as a load of rubbish. [.] I wonder if Thomson Newspapers or, even worse, someone on their staff, has a stake in the Mitchell Beazley enterprise.' A piece of casual racism follows: 'I am not sure that your new policy of sucking up to your black neighbours is necessarily the wisest one. The great thing, in my experience, is not to let them guess you are frightened of them. They are like horses and can tell when someone is frightened of them and play up accordingly.' He is 'studying with incredulous amazement' the 'booklet on OAP's rights' which Dosse has sent him. 'My health has temporarily taken a turn for the better but I am searching for a surgeon who can sort the matter out. Unlike you I have a principled objection to paying for medicine on top of the prodigious sums I pay in income tax. As my injuries are the result of a war wound, [see his ODNB entry] I should have absolute priority in the National Health service, if only I can find where the National Health service exists.' He has written John Carey 'a long, abusive letter' about his article on 'Children of the Sun' in New Review. The second half of the letter continues in the same vein, with reference to his 'invoice for the June B. and B.', the 'new titles from Gales' (which 'look pretty rubbishy to me'), a letter from Dosse to Robert Skidelsky, sent to Waugh in error, and Dosse's 'Union difficulties'. See Image of first page.

In den WarenkorbFolio, [i] + 49 pp. Text clear and complete. A mimeographed typescript, with text and manuscript annotations. Clear and complete, on aged and creased paper. Typed in bottom right-hand corner of covering title: 'Director of Public Prosecutions.' Anwarudding was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn in 1913, and between that year and… 1918 his marital difficulties caused him to appear before thirteen different High Court Judges in eight different courts. The various legal actions in which he was involved (the subject of eight reports in The Times) are of great importance in the history of the relations between western and islamic law, as set out in Gail Savage's 'More than One Mrs. Mir Anwaruddin: Islamic Divorce and Christian Marriage in Early Twentieth-Century London' (Journal of British Studies, Vol.47, No.2, 2 April 2008). Although Savage does refer to this case (for which see The Times, 3 July 1918; with Anwaruddin's unsuccessful appeal against his conviction reported on 27 July 1918), her article does not make use of the present item, which contains depositions from nineteen individuals. The present action, in which Anwaruddin was accused of perjury, arose out of his testimony in an unsuccessful libel action by him against Bottomley, John Bull and Odhams Press. The deposing parties in the present document include members of Anwaruddin's wife's family the Hudd's; the woman he attempted to make his second wife, Violet Louisa Ling; police officers, two shorthand reporters and a handwriting expert. The document ends with the 'Prisoner's Statement': 'I plead an emphatic "Not Guilty".' It is annotated throughout in two hands, possibly those of the lawyers representing him in his appeal against conviction, 'Mr. Abinger and Mr. Abdul Majid' (Times, 27 July 1918).

The articles provide detailed accounts of the games, including printed box scores, and of the rivalries between the New York Mutuals, Brooklyn Atlantics, Philadelphia Athletics and other popular teams throughout the country, including the Cincinnati Red Stockings: baseball's first all-professional team in 1869, with ten salaried players. The Red Stockings went on to post a 570 record that year, the only perfect season in professional baseball history. Here are but a few short examples of the excitement generated by the Red Stockings in 1869: a full page of baseball coverage from the June 19, 1869 issue opens with a long, detailed account of all nine innings of a game played between the Mutuals and Cincinnati: "An Unprecedented Game. On Tuesday the 'Red Stockings' as they are familiarly called, representing Cincinnati and champions of the West, met the Mutual Club, of New York, and champions of the United States, at Williamsburg Never in the annals of the game was such a performance, and never such a score " Another long report reflecting on the passions aroused by the Red Stockings was published in the June 26, 1869 issue: "The Red Stockings This marvelous club and their repeated successes have been themes for newspaper-men. Some journals have eulogized the players, and others have spoken unkindly of them. It was reserved for Philadelphia, however, to make the meanest attack on them, wherein it was sought to belittle them, and all their great victories set down as mere chance work " This is how the *Spirit of the Times* summed up the Red Stockings perfect season in its July 24, 1869 issue: "Reconstruction. The march of General Sherman through the Southern States was fraught with no more disorganizing elements to the Southern army than the march of the 'Red Stockings' through the base-ball districts of the East demoralized the camps here " Both volumes provide entertaining and informative accounts of professional, amateur, college, and all notable games played in 1868 and 1869, providing a contemporary glimpse into the early days of America's national game. Minor toning, old light dampstaining at the top edge of each volume, a very good set overall with three partly damaged and mended leaves in Vol. 19: pp. 3-4 has some loss at the fore-edge margin and minor shaving to the letterpress; pp. 169-70 and 181-82 each have a six-inch mended horizontal tear (legible across the tear); pp. 181-82 also has a small rectangular piece (1 ½" x 4") excised from the fore-edge; two or three other leaves have a small rectangular piece of letterpress neatly excised at the bottom corner or fore-edge. (There are no references to baseball on those pages). A detailed list of 36 issues featuring a weekly column reporting on baseball is available.

Perry Esqre | Tavistock Square'. He will dine with Perry with pleasure, 'after a five weeks confinement with the Gout, a disorder of which I never before had… any personal acquaintance, but which, I suppose, I must, in some unguarded moment, have treated with contempt. I cannot otherwise account for so severe an attack having been made upon me who have very little funded property, no land, & holding no high official station - It is in vain therefore that my friends congratulate me, & vainer still that they assure me that whoever has the gout will have no other disorder. A man must be very unreasonable who wants any other.' He hopes to meet 'those experienced gentlemen' at Perry's table, 'who may instruct mee how to behave on a first appearance'.

In den WarenkorbSingle sheet, folded to 27 x 22 cm., 2 leaves, [2] pp. of text, printed on the first and third pages only. The first page states the paper's principles and policies in support of "the great Republican party, and. the Administration of President Grant," plus the terms for subscriptions. The prospectus mentions that The Daily Nati…onal Republican is furnished to subscribers at $8 per year, and Specimen copies of Daily or Weekly National Republican can be sent on application. The next page prints a copy of a letter [in script] from Editor & Proprietor W.J. Murtagh, Office of the National Republican, Washington, D.C., dated May 15 1871. Murtagh boldly states his paper's intention to reflect the views of the Grant administration: "The time is approaching when the loyal hosts of the Union will be called upon to rally once more around the great principles which have hitherto led them to victory, in peace, as well as in war." Murtagh published newspapers in Washington D.C. under slightly different titles, The Daily National Republican, The National Republican, and The Weekly National Republican during the Civil War era. OCLC lists a copy of Murtagh's Prospectus for the "Daily National Republican" at the Library of Congress which gives the Daily an alternate title of "Weekly National Republican" and states that the "Prospectus of the Weekly National Republican, Washington, D.C., Oct. 15, 1861 was appended on page [4]. The Weekly National Republican was published from ca. 1863-1877.

In den WarenkorbPublishing history does not get more vivid than this. See Flower's obituary in The Times, and Wells's in the New York Times. The three items in good condition, lightly aged. All three folded once and signed 'Newman Flower'. First TLS (3 January 1928): 1p, 12mo. He writes that although 'a very apologetic letter from Mr. Wells of…Harpers' has 'cleared the air entirely', 'a reply from Holt' received at the same time is not very satisfactory', and 'in view of the fact that Cassell's and Harpers will be coming together again, it would, perhaps, be as well not to do anything at present'. Second TLS (11 December 1928): Headed 'CONFIDENTIAL'. He regrets to inform Marchant, that he 'had a very aggressive interview with Mr. Wells, of Harper's, in my Club this afternoon [.] he as good as called me a liar, and was so abominably rude that I have decided that I will have no further dealings whatever with Harper's'. Deleted sentence follows: 'I have, to-day written and cancelled the arrangement with them over "The Real Hell"'. There are no books 'coming along in which Harper's and ourselves are sharing, but, if so, I want to make it clear that I am not prepared to proceed with them'. He does not think this will 'hamper' Marchant, but asks him not to bring Cassell's 'any books in which we must be associated with Harper's, and that you will not offer Harper's any book of Cassell's'. He concludes: 'It takes a great deal really to put me out of temper, but I will not be subjected again to such rudeness as I had to put up with from Mr. Wells this afternoon, in my own Club.' ALS (18 December 1928): Begins: 'Dear Sir James / Have sent you a brace of birds from the chase. Shot on Saturday.' He wishes the Marchants 'better health in 1929', hoping that it will be one of Marchant's 'Years of good fortune'. He ends by stating that he appreciates 'more than I can say all you have done to help things along this year'.

In den WarenkorbZustand: Good binding. Broadsheet; approximately 22 x 16" , printed on both sides; as one would expect it is chock full of war news; folded, with minor loss at the folds and the beginning of separation.~~The Weekly Catawba was printed between 1859 and 1865, only in Charlotte.~~With news from the Northern papers: "The Northern pa…pers are filled with Stonewall Jackson's victory. The whole North was wild with excitement and panic" (which must have gladdened the hearts of Charlotte residents). ~~News of a more local nature as well: "A party of thieves from the Yankee fleet yesterday made a visit to the plantation of Messrs. Brown and Johnston, on the Louisiana shore, committing all manner of depredations killing hogs and cattle, destroying whatever came in their way, and finally approached the dwelling of Mr. George W. Johnston, with the intention of plundering it of whatever valuables they might find. Mr. Johnston contronted them and warned them off -- telling them that they had killed his cattle and hogs, and destroyed his property, but that they must not enter his house; that he should defend it at all hazards . he killed one of their party, . but they fired upon him killing him instantly."~~From the Richmond Whig: "President Davis, with the heads of the different departments, was in the field on Sunday. They probably expected that the Yankees, with their superior numerical force, would make some efforts to retrieve their losses of the previous day, by advancing upon the Confederate lines, but the enemy remained under cover all day except when driven from it by the "rebels".~~The immediacy of these reports convey a vividness not found in later narratives and memoirs. Good binding.
