Leather. Zustand: Very Good. First edition. The first edition of The Earl of Pembroke and G. H. Kingsley's account of their travels through the south seas, including his controversial chapter on missionaries, bound in quarter leather. The first edition, with the chapter on the author's opinion of missionaries left without the omissions found in the later editions, which were omitted die to the controversial manner of his opinions.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. The most complete edition of this innovative manual by a British cavalry officer who was a follower of the French school, and a personal friend of Bourgelat. Based on ten years' army experience, Herbert (1734-94) wrote this handbook aiming to improve current standards of horsemanship by developing a totally practical method of gradual and patient training. It contains a few general rules absolutely necessary for cavalry discipline. His precepts for shoeing are especially praised by Mennessier, who discusses them in detail. Horses are taught to jump and swim, and to obey oral commands in case reins are not available. The book had immediate success, and Herbert's ideas were adopted by the British cavalry. Third edition, with the text revised by the author, containing the additional chapter on the trot. This edition is especially attractive for being illustrated with a total of 17 plates (the first edition (1761) contained 2 plates only, the second edition (1762) had 3 plates). The text was translated into French by Bergeret de Frouville, and the chapter on the trot was plagiarized in the English translation of Bourgelat's Le Nouveau Newcastle. Blank top corners of first leaves with light traces of waterstaining, a few traces of usage, otherwise a good copy with early ownership signature of Thomas D. Broad, 2 Henrietta Street, Bath, who has added a neat manuscript index of the plates on the otherwise blank page facing first page of text. Lewine 406; Mennessier de la Lance I,111; Wells 5695.…

Items One to Five are printed circulars (each with the school crest) relating to the Christ's Hospital admissions process, dating from 1894 and 1895, all from 'R. L. Franks, Clerk'. ONE: 17 October 1894. Informing Mrs Matilda Cross that her son is 'about to compete for admission'. TWO: 22 November 1894. Informing Mrs Cross that 'S. T. Cross' has been 'recommended for admission'.

T. Cross,] be admitted into this Hospital's Boy's School [subject to the provisions of the Scheme]'. SEVEN and EIGHT: Two Autograph Letters to his mother (Mrs Matilda Cross), one signed 'Stanley' and the other without signature. Both on bifoliums and apparently incomplete. Both from Lamb's House, Christ's Hospital, West Horsham (the unsigned letter on school letterhead). Neither dated but the unsigned letter docketed 18 May 1903. SEVEN: Undated letter to his mother, signed 'Stanley'. Discussing the terms of a scholarship ('They would never take it away except for gross idling.') to what is clearly Pembroke College, Oxford. 4pp, 12mo. There is a reference to 'Barton's letter' (Alfred Thomas Barton, 1865-1912, Fellow of Pembroke), and he discusses the possible need for a testimonial, living costs at Oxford, and the reduced school scholarship (due to 'the extraordinary number (nine) of the successful Grecians this year'. The letter concludes (breaks off?): 'I was kept on after the usual time for leaving, to be a Grecian, & on the understanding that I should obtain the customary exhibition; tis only within the past year that my eyes have been opened[;] my schol[arship] is in no way inferior to those of many past Grecians who have proceeded to the University on School Exhibitions'. EIGHT: Unsigned undated letter to mother, docketed with date 18 May 1903. 3pp, 12mo. Begins: 'My Dear Mother. / Well I've got it. Its only a £60 Schol but I mean to get on somehow. I am now free from all anxiety & at liberty to hunt around for assistance from Companies.There is a reference to another letter from 'old Barton [.] the Senior Tutor'. He admits: 'I may as well tell you now that if I had failed to get in before midsummer, I should have given it up. [last clause underlined] For it would have been no use going on any longer.' He gives further details of the arrangements, with reference to 'Upcott', asking her not to divulge 'how much the schol is worth', After Oxford Cross would work as a schoolmaster before serving in the Great War. He then worked in the Hague as a translator at the newly-formed League of Nations Permanent Court of International Justice. During the Second World War he worked as a censor at the BBC in London, before returned to the Hague, retiring six months before his death in 1950.…
