A nice piece of Sherborne ephemera, in unusually good condition. Between 1855 and 1860 Ransam House had been used to board boys from Sherborne School. 'The Sherborne Academy' to which the present card refers was run by John Kidd (c.1834-1891), FRAS, MCP, at Ransam between the end of 1861 and 1868, when it reverted to Sherborne School. The present item is printed in black ink on both sides of a x cm piece of white card. In very good condition, lightly aged. On the front is a pleasant lithographic illustration of the three-storey white building that housed the Sherborne Academy (with 'ACADEMY' in large letters above the window above the front door), Ransam House, with an adjoining building and various figures in the street outside. Beneath the illustration, in fancy lettering: 'SHERBORNE ACADEMY. / Principal, JOHN KIDD, M.C.P. / MASTERS FOR FRENCH, GERMAN, MUSIC & DRAWING.' On the reverse, in copperplate, is a list of 'Masters' (Kidd, F. Hollmuller, H. M. Custard, R. Brooks and 'Assistants') in six fields, followed by 'Terms per Annum' and an announcement regarding the notice required 'previous to the removal of a Pupil'. The side ends with the names of seven men to whom references are 'kindly permitted, starting with 'W C Macready Esq, Cheltenham'. This is of course the distinguished actor William Charles Macready (1793-1873), who had retired to Sherborne in 1851, taking an active role in the community there until moving to Cheltenham following his second marriage in 1860 (in the meantime two of his sons were educated at Sherborne School). …

In two Letters. Written by a Person of Quality to a Kinsman of the Earl of Bellomont in Ireland. First edition. A fine copy, stitched as issued, discreet bookplate to final leaf. Housed in a custom cloth chemise. [viii], 51, [1]pp. Printed and Sold by the Booksellers of London and Westminster, This is as desirable a copy as one might hope for with a distinguished provenance. William Kidd (c.1645-1701) remains one of the most notorious and fascinating pirates from the Golden Age. Few men "caused more fear, speculation and gold-digging, than Captain William Kidd. Along the shores of New England and Long Island, from his day to this, men have dug in the dead of night ? to find his buried Gold" (Elliott).    William Kidd's early years remain a mystery and his first appearance in the historical record is in 1689 when the governor of the Leeward Islands, Christopher Codrington, employed him as a privateer to assist in fighting the French in the Caribbean. He was appointed captain of the Blessed William and was active on the islands of Marie Galante and St Martin. His own crew mutinied and Kidd, on another ship, followed them to New York.   "When Lord Bellomont came to America to succeed Fletcher as Governor of the colony of New York, the neighborhood of New York City was a sort of rendezvous for pirates, and he early began to take measures to suppress their ravages. Colonel Robert Livingston formulated a plan of employing Captain Kidd, who then had a good reputation and a knowledge of the sea. A ship was accordingly fitted out, Livingston and Kidd bearing one fifth of the expense, and Kidd was sent out in 1697 to capture pirates. Instead he turned pirate himself, and while he was never convicted of this charge, he was hanged at Execution Dock for the murder of one of his sailors. Some eminent noblemen, among whom was Lord Bellomont himself, had furnished funds for his fitting out, and they were accused of complicity in his piratical scheme . Whatever may have been Kidd's crimes, it is clear that he did not have a fair trial, and was found guilty on insufficient evidence" (Church).   Having previously belonged to Thomas Streeter, this is an important copy of a notable trial.   Church, 797; Howes, M677; Sabin, 37703; Streeter, 860; Elliott, C.W., The New England History .
