An apparent forgery of a letter the text of which is quoted in Hallam Tennyson's 1897 memoir of his father. 1p, 12mo. On discoloured wove paper. Aged, and with repair with archival tape at extremities on reverse. Folded twice for postage. Reads: 'Aldworth / Oct 25 - 76 / My dear Mrs Gladstone / On Monday then - if all be well. As you are good enough to say that you will manage everything rather than lose my visit - you must manage that I may have my pipe in my own room whenever I like? / Yours ever / A Tennyson/'. The supposed provenance is noted in pencil on the reverse: 'This letter was written by Alfred Lord Tennyson to Mrs. Gladstone in 1876. Purchased from Noel Conway of New St Birmingham in 1900 by / Samuel Englefield / Henley on Thames.' The present text differs from Hallam Tennyson's version (also in the third volume of Lang and Shannon), by reading 'you must' rather than 'will you' - the latter reading also featuring in the facsimile of the letter in the Strand Magazine, 1892, among the illustrations to J. Holt Schooling's article on 'The Handwriting of Alfred Lord Tennyson', the caption stating that the letter 'is in the possession of Messrs. Noel Conway, 50B, New Street, Birmingham'. See Image.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Grey wrappers, titled in black. Bound in blue morocco with gilt spine titling, gilt extra, spine edges a bit rubbed. Bookplate of Henry William Poor (of the Standard & Poor index). A very good bright copy "Paper and type tests are negative, but there seems to be nothing to authenticate it except Swinburne's signature on Mr Wise's copy. The British Museum copy was presented by Mr. Wise on 12 April, 1890, It is printed in a Clay fount (C) used for three forgeries and six other suspects . Mr Wise sold two dozen copies of this pamphlet at five shillings each to Mr Gorfin on 12 April, 1910: it has come up for sale in the auction rooms sixteen times since 1897. Although we cannot prove this pamphlet to be a forgery, its authenticity seems open to very serious doubt." (Carter & Pollard p.292).…

2pp., 4to. On leaf untidily torn from an album, resulting in a ragged edge with minor loss of text (a few parts of words). On aged and chipped paper. The document is headed 'Forgery of the Commercial Bank of Scotlands Guinea Note', and begins: As a few off these Forged Notes have made their appearance in Glasgow, e following directions are given to enable the public to distinguish the forged from the genuine Notes.' A detailed description follows, with small illustrations given of the shapes of the letter 'B' in forgery and genuine note, with other illustrations of a thistle both with and 'without prickles'. The document ends: 'It is requested that if any of these forged Notes are presented, the same and those offering them may be detained and proceeded with according to the Law, and that notice may be immediately sent to George Salmond, Writer, Glasgow, who will pay the expenses, and liberally remunerate those giving any information which may be of Service or may lead to Conviction of offenders.' No other copy traced, either on COPAC or WorldCat. The Scottish guinea note was introduced in 1758 and discontinued in 1828. The book 'Rambling Recollections of Old Glasgow' by 'Nestor' contains a reference to 'Mr. George Salmond, long Procurator-Fiscal at Glasgow', who 'kept an album, or rather nigrum, containing a collection of forged notes, with notices of the results to the persons implicated in their forgery or issue. There seldom was a Circuit in Glasgow where there were not several men or women sentenced to death for such crimes, and several expiated their offences on the scaffold'. Salmond was Procurator-Fiscal by 1826, so this item would appear to date from before then.…
