In den WarenkorbDisbound. Zustand: Good. MAZEPPA A Romantic Drama in three acts Dramatised from Lord Byron's Poem By H. M. Milner And adapted to the Stage under the direction of Mr. Ducrow Printed from the acting copy, with remarks, biographical and critical, by D.-G. . As now performed at the Royal Amphitheatre, Westminster. Embellished with a… fine engraving by Mr. Bonner, from a drawing taken in the theatre, by Mr. R. Cruikshank. Published by John Cumberland (1830) Undated, but published circa 1830, this is a scarce theatre play adaptation of Lord Byron's Poem "Mazeppa" , which is described as an equestrian stage adaptation of Lord Byron's 1819 narrative poem of the same name. The play is a type of hippodrama, a popular 19th-century genre featuring spectacular horse-riding acts. Milner's play builds on Byron's poem, which was based on the legend of Ivan Mazepa. Mazepa was a 17th-century Ukrainian leader who, in his youth, was famously tied to a wild horse for having an affair with a Polish noblewoman. Milner dramatically alters the story to create a tale of social rise for a popular theatre audience. The play was originally produced at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre, under the direction of circus equestrian Andrew Ducrow. The famous scene of Mazeppa strapped to a horse was a main selling point of the production. Milner's adaptation was wildly successful and toured widely. Undated, but published circa 1830, Illustrated with a frontispiece and running to 52 pages, 14cm tall approx. the book is disbound with no covers. CONDITION As mentioned, the book is disbound with no covers, with heavy foxing on and off throughout Book would benefit from rebinding, else a good example of this scarce early theatre adaptation. This is a lighter item, overseas shipping costs will be reduced at checkout where possible. R. Cruikshank. (illustrator).

In den WarenkorbZustand: Good. - The closing 8 lines of a letter penned in black ink on part of a sheet of cream note paper, 3-5/8 inches high by 4-3/8 inches wide. Signed "Thos. Milner Gibson". Folded for mailing approximately 1 inch from the top edge. The left edge is slightly creased. Good. Gibson is writing to his correspondent about report…s written by [Walter] Plowden, the first British Consul to Abyssinia. "Perhaps his reports on Abyssinia may have been sent before he was made Consul, in 1848 or 1849. If you could send me these to Theberton I should be very much obliged."Thomas Milner Gibson [1806-1884] was a British Conservative politician who adopted Liberal views and became an ardent supporter of the free-trade movement. He was elected to the House of Commons as Member of Parliament for Manchester in 1841, and from 1846 to 1848 was Vice-President of the Board of Trade under Prime Minister Lord John Russell. From 1859 to 1866 he sat in the cabinet as President of the Board of Trade, first under Lord Palmerston and then under John Russell. Gibson was a leader in the movement for the repeal of taxes on educational materials and his successful efforts on behalf of journalism and advertising were recognized by a public testimonial in 1862. He retired from political life in 1868. Gibson and his wife resided at Theberton House in the village of Theberton, Suffolk.British diplomat Walter Plowden [1820-1860] was the British Consul at Massawa in Eritrea [at that time part of Ethiopia] on the Red Sea coast from 1848 to 1860. He played a role in Ethiopian politics, cultivating the friendship, first of Ras Ali,regent of the Ethiopian emperor, and later of the emperor Tewodros. In 1860 he was murdered by a warlord hostile to Tewodros. His writings on Abyssinia were published by his brother in London in 1868.

In den WarenkorbSee the entries for Milner and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Addressed to 'Dear Mr Ross' and with good bold signature 'Milner'. The subject of the letter is the philanthropic 'settlement' Toynbee Hall in Whitechapel, founded in 1884 by Canon Barnett and Henrietta (DB…E), his wife. Milner begins the letter by giving his opinion that 'the Toynbee meeting must be put off', as 'Everything is in the melting pot.' No decision has been made regarding the new warden (following the departure of Edmund Harvey the previous year), and the future site of the settlement is uncertain. 'Nothing will be lost by waiting till we can confront the world with 1) a Man 2) a Policy.' As things stand, he does not know 'how I could appeal effectively to an Oxford audience to "come over & help us"'.

In den Warenkorb2pp., foolscap 8vo. 54 lines of text. Good, on lightly-aged and worn paper. Addressed to 'The Hon. T. L. Graham, M.L.C., Prime Minister's Office, Cape Town.' Taylor begins by thanking Graham for his 'courteous letter' and is pleased to find that he has not been misunderstood. 'While siding with Dr. Smart it was on purely persona…l grounds that I wrote you. I cannot say that a number of your constituents differ from you; I do not know. What I felt was that loyalty to your Chief - faithfulness to Sir Gordon [Sprigg] in the position he has taken up - had been the loadstone that had kept you in Cabinet assocation with him. Hence my letter.' He can see that Graham holds 'very strong opinions of your own upon the question at issue. I cannot help holding different views. I have been all along against even a temporary suspension of the constitution against any tinkering whatever with the sacred right of every honest man to be represented in the Parliament (the legislature) of his country - looking upon the very idea of such a movement as a sign of weakness and surrender in the face of the enemy (the Rebel element in the Colony), but arguments, based upon facts, and he recent action of the bulk of the Progressive Party in the House, have conquered my misgivings, and I am now firmly convinced that it will be utterly impossible for Sir Gordon Sprigg and his loyal friends to successfully carry on the government of the Colony to the end that all may prosper on purely British lines, and the Cape eventually take up its proper position in the general scheme of S. A. Federation that must ere long be brought about. To my humble thinking Sir Gordon has "played his cards badly". He should have consolidated his Party and gone with them where he could not lead. Very soon he would have come out "top dog".' The letter continues with references to Lord Milner and the Afrikander Party, before concluding: 'I know a few of the Dutch constituencies up country, and the effect of rebel disfranchisement is potent. But all this, and the loud desire on the part of the wealthy amongs Dutch traders and farmers throughout the Colony in favour of peaceful progress on non-racial lines, the majority of the voting population in all Dutch constituencies will be lead by the wire-pullers of the Bond and deceitful Afrikander Parter, still and ever sor while life lasts at the cause they had at heart being so hopelessly crushed.' Six-line postscript, concluding: 'If anyone is to save the situation for Sir Gordon it is yourself. If you fail - then?' The context of the letter is explained in Sprigg's entry in the Oxford DNB: 'In 1898 Sprigg attempted to carry a redistribution bill reducing the advantage enjoyed by the Afrikaner Bond rural constituencies as against the Progressive towns, but was defeated on a motion of no confidence and appealed to the country virtually on the issue of British or Transvaal supremacy. He was defeated and had to resign. On the fall of William Philip Schreiner's ministry in June 1900, Sprigg became premier for the fourth time and governed for two years without parliamentary sanction. He was inclined to approve of a suspension of the Cape constitution as the best means of furthering the federation of South Africa. However, after Rhodes's death, in 1902, he became resolute and at the premiers' conference which took place in London that year he followed Sir Wilfrid Laurier in crushing the scheme.'.
