Single sheet folio, SIZE : 25.5 x 38 cms., recto only. A few edge tears repaired without loss, a very good copy. *SEE - Hansard : Public Health Act Amendment Bill Volume 135: debated on Monday 31 July 1854 - VISCOUNT PALMERSTON I rise, Sir, according to notice, to move the second reading of the Bill to continue for two years the Board of Public Health, and those Acts which confer their powers on the local and general boards of health. There cannot, I conceive, be any subject which is more interesting to Parliament, or which is more deserving of the attention of Parliament, than that which contemplates arrangements for the protection of the public health. When I say "the public health," I do not allude to the health of those wealthier classes of society who either have the means when casual sickness attacks them to have recourse to the best medical advice, or who, when they find themselves in a place where an epidemic has broken out, can fly to a healthier region, where, with all the appliances of art, and all the resources which opulence can place at their command, they can screen themselves from the danger which menaces them:I speak of those humbler and poorer, but much more numerous Members of the community, who by their calling are fixed to spots from which they cannot flywho by their poverty are precluded from having recourse to the aids of art and sciencewho, from their want of information, are unable to protect themselves, by such means as may be at their disposal, from the noxious influences which surround them, and for the protection of whose health, therefore, it is most incumbent on the Legislature to make provision. Palmerston's eloquence had no impact upon Phylax - '. For it is no very agreeable thing to be held up to the whole country, in low and filthy language, as the advocates of filth and stench, and enemies of the poor. And though your Lordship, in putting your own charity and benevolence so prominently forward, may not have intended to reflect unfavourably upon those who dissent from you. it could not but have had that tendency.'.

New Haven: Kirgo Books. 1953. 8vo. Green card wraps with black title lettering; pp. [5], vi-viii, [1], 2-73, [1]; faded to spine, extremities slightly rubbed; very good.First edition, inscribed by Pearson to the writer and critic Arnold Hinchcliffe on ffep: "As a souvenir and with friendship".Compiled by John Edwards, A Preliminary Checklist features an introduction by Norman Holmes Pearson, a distinguished Yale academic and counterintelligence agent during the Second World War. In his introduction, Pearson remarks: "Without the list as a guide, not even goodwill will suffice".This catalogue of the life's work of Ezra Pound is divided into three sections: his Books and Pamphlets, his contributions to Books and Pamphlets, and his contributions to Periodicals. Pearson emphasizes that creating a truly comprehensive bibliography of Pound's extensive career as poet and critic would require a monumental "joint effort of all who are interested," but this checklist offers a vital "beginning" for understanding one of literature's major figures.

Two Air Mail letters, both in fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Both letters are addressed to Beloe (author of the 1960 Beloe Report - education at The Hill House, Queen's Road, Richmond, Surrey. The subject of the two letters is a letter from George Washington to Lieutenant Governor Dinwiddie, Belvoir, 7 March 1754, beginning ''Honble. Sir | If the Vessel you Honour hir'd of Colo. Eyre has not left York'. The letter is now at Mount Vernon. ONE: Hotson's letter, signed 'Leslie Hotson'. 29 January 1955. 1p., 12mo. Begins: 'You will have thought your note about the Washington letter went astray, but I have been waiting my chance to do something about it. And I have now enlisted my friend Prof. Norman H. Pearson of Yale as the very man who is in touch with the knowledgeable dealers in autographs in New York. I have also taken the liberty of copying out for him your description of the letter and given him your name and address, so that you may hear from him, I hope before long.' He continues by giving the British Museum shelfmark of a catalogue he suggests Beloe consults, adding, that 'there must be a more recent catalogue of known letters I should think - & at least a hand-list at the National Archives in Washington or at Mount Vernon'. He regrets that he does not 'know more about the subject, for I found the taste of the letter you have most alluring'. He ends with the news that he is setting sail that day, will spend February in Holland, and be 'back at King's Cambridge from March 1'. TWO: Pearson's letter, signed 'Norman Holmes Pearson'. 1 February 1955. 1p, 8vo. The letter begins: 'My friend Leslie Hotson, just before he left New Haven to return to his Fellowship at King's, gave me a brief description of a letter from George Washington to Gov. Dinwiddie, which you had and which you perhaps wished to sell'. Having been asked for 'some idea of what it might be worth', Pearson has 'forwarded the description to a dealer in New York who I know to be honest and generous in his dealings', Charles Hamilton of 515 Madison Avenue. After describing what would be necessary to gain a more accurate estimate he quotes from Hamilton's response: 'The letter of Washington Gov. Dinwiddie sounds like an interesting idea. Offhand, and without seeing the letter, I should estimate the value at around $300. It could be worth more, tho it is unlikely that it would be worth much less.' Hamilton always prefers to make 'a conservative estimate' rather than 'extravagant promises', and finds that 'the owner is often delighted to realize more than he anticipated'. He will pay postage should 'Mr. Hotson's friend' wish to send the item to him by registered post, and the 'entire transaction could be completed within a week or ten days!' Pearson encourage Beloe to do as Hamilton suggests, offering to 'straighten it out on this side', if 'anything goes amiss'. With Signed Autograph annotation by Beloe: 'Thanked, said I'd written to Hamilton & wd. Wte to Pearson again. | RB ? 10/2/55'. Also present are three 4to photostats: one of the front page of Beloe's letter; another carries a facsimile of Washington's signature with the date of the letter; a third reproduces a letter from Benjamin Franklin, 'London, Oct. 14 67 - | Cravenstreet' ('Dear Friend | I found here on my Return from France').
