It also appeals for 'Pecuniary Assistance', so that the Society 'may continue to hold its present high rank among Provincial Societies' by purchasing for around £400 from the Zoological Society 'the specimens [] the requisite additional cases &c and a part of the necessary expensive works of reference which are required for the classification of their present collection'.

3pp, 16mo. On bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged. Phillipps's letter (or draft letter) is a reply to a dinner invitation from the wife of the eminent Worcester physician Sir Charles Hastings. It occupies the reverse of the first leaf, and both sides of the second leaf of the bifolium. The recto of the first leaf carries the invitation, in manuscript, with the text in square brackets printed in copperplate: 'Sir Charles & Lady Hastings [Request the pleasure of] Sir Thos & Lady Phillipps' [Company at Dinner] on Thursday the 28th. Inst. Six oclock | [An answer will oblige.] | Worcester Augt. 12th.' Phillipps begins his reply: 'Dr Lady Hastings | Lady P is in such distress respecting the serious illness of her Brother in law that I take up her Pen, to return her & my best thanks for the kind invitation wch yr self & Sir Chas. have done us the honor to send for the 28th inst.' As the Phillippses do not 'know how his illness might terminate', even 'in the best case' they will not be able to 'come to the Worcester Music Meeting; for a Worcester Lawyer has plundered me of all my spare Cash & what is worse, has done nothing for it.' He hopes she 'will be able to fill our vacant seats with some more wealthy persons who will be beneficial to the Meeting.' The letter is signed 'Very faithfully Yours | Thos Phillipps'. Hastings founded the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association now the British Medical Association in 1832. Phillipps was notoriously eccentric and irascible. See his entry in the Oxford DNB, and Munby, 'Phillipps Studies' (5 vols, 1951-1960). From the distinguished autograph collection of Richard Hunter, son of Ida Macalpine, whose collection of 7000 books relating to psychiatry is in Cambridge University Library. Macalpine and Hunter had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

The last eight leaves only of a printed catalogue (no. 260 in M. V. de Chantilly's 'Robert Harding Evans of Pall Mall | auction catalogues 1812-1846 | a provisional list' (2002)). Stitched and unbound. On aged and worn paper, with slight damp staining to margins. Paginated 23-37 + [1], with the final page (i.e. the verso of the last leaf) carrying the advertisement: 'Preparing for Sale by MR. EVANS. | THE VALUABLE LIBRARY of an | EMINENT COLLECTOR.' (in manuscript: 'Mr Rennie'). Slug at foot of p.37: 'London: Printed by W. Nicol, | Cleveland-row, St. James's.' First page headed in Phillipps's hand: 'Ord MSS. Catalogue', with 'Sir T Phillipps sale' in another hand in pencil at the foot of the page. P.23 begins with lot 469 and the final lot of the sale, on p.37, is 618. After lot 510 on p.24 is the heading 'MANUSCRIPTS, VARIOUS SIZES'. All the lots are priced in manuscript, and the manuscripts in the sale (lots 511-618) are also named, in another hand than Phillipps's. Phillipps has written 'P' beside each of the lots which he acquired, and he reveals himself to be purchaser of 86 of the 109 (including 108*) manuscript lots in the sale, at an enormous total cost of £1983 16s 0d. These purchases were all made indirectly: most of the lots are recorded (in the second hand) as having been bought by four London booksellers: Cochran, Thorpe, Payne (of Payne and Foss), and Rodd. The British Museum ('The Museum') is given as purchaser of lots 535 and 561 ('Registrum de Bury (Tempore Edwarde III.) on vellum', £126 0s 0d). The purchaser of lot 524 is 'Duke of Norfolk', and lot 655 is said to have been bought 'By the Family who now possess the estate'. Beside this last note Phillipps has written 'bought | March Phillipps'. Phillipps has written 'query' beside lot 526.

Both letters in good condition, lightly aged. Both bifoliums, and both signed 'Charles Hastings'. ONE: 25 January 1846. 4pp, 12mo. He is 'glad to hear' that Phillipps is thinking of 'coming down to one of our evening meetings at the Natural History Society' (Hastings being the chairman). The date for the next meeting will be fixed on the following day, and Hastings' son, who is a member of the committee, will communicate with Phillipps. 'Our last meeting went off very well. I read your short paper on the Roman road, which was well received, and gave rise to a discussion, and a formal vote of thanks was unanimously passed to you, for your interesting communication.' In a postscript he asks Phillipps to 'send us some short contribution for the next meeting'. TWO: 29 January 1846. 3pp, 12mo. 'After all, there will not be another Soiree of the Natural History Society just at present.' The committee have determined 'to have a dance for the young Ladies instead of a meeting for reading papers' on 5 February. He invites Phillipps and his wife to dinner on that day, after which the party will 'go to the Ball'. 'It is certainly an admirable room for the purpose and the young people cannot resist the temptation of trying it.' THREE: Autograph Draft by Phillipps of his reply 'To Dr Hastings', 31 January 1846. 1p, 12mo. On reverse of second leaf of Item Two above. Signed with monograph of Phillipps' initials. 'My dr Sir | The Decision, which the society has come to, shews that it is but a frivolous [last word underlined] Society & therefore I beg to withdraw my name from its List. | I think you have not behaved well to me in reading my Paper, after my request that you wd withdraw it. | Believe me | my ydear Sir | Y V. T. | TP'. Hastings founded the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association now the British Medical Association in 1832. Phillipps was notoriously eccentric and irascible.

London, Sotheby's, 1965-1976, 11 parts, in-4°, many plates in each part (some coloured), original printed boards (spine of part III damaged, no loss of paper), some results lists loosely inserted, with names of buyers. The collection formed by Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872) and dispersed by order of the Trustees of the Robinson Trust.

34 volumes in all: 32 catalogs plus "Phillips Studies" bound as five volumes in two. 11 volumes of the catalogues in original green printed boards, the other 21 in original green paper wrappers; "Phillips [sic] Studies" with tan half morocco over beige buckram by Sangorski & Sutcliffe (stamp-signed on the verso of the front free endpaper), raised bands, spine lettered in gilt. Catalogs with numerous photographic plates, including several in color. "Phillips Studies" with 41 total plates, including a frontispiece in each volume. Phillips Studies with a presentation letter from Lionel and Philip Robinson. Both "Phillips Studies" volumes with small lightened and darkened areas to covers reflecting insect visitation, but the bindings unworn and looking attractive on the shelf; internally fine. The Sotheby's catalogues with only trivial signs of use, and internally very clean. The 32 catalogs in this group of related material represent the entire second series of sales at Sotheby's of many manuscripts and early printed works from the famed collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps (17921872), an obsessive bibliophile and the manager of the Middle Hill Press, who during his lifetime amassed over 60,000 manuscripts and 40,000 printed books. (These sales, which spanned over a decade and took place in London and New York, were the second set of auctions of Phillipps' collection, following a series of sales held between 1886 and 1938.) They are here accompanied by "Phillipps Studies," the definitive work on Phillipps' life and library. It was compiled by Alan Noel Latimer Munby (1913-1974), fellow and librarian of King's College, Cambridge, and himself a noted bibliophile. In five volumes (here bound in two), Munby painstakingly records the history of this collection, including its acquisition and eventual dispersal, as well as Phillipps' personal life and his own catalogues of his collection. Our copy is accompanied by a personal letter from Lionel and Philip Robinson, London antiquarian booksellers who had a major hand in the collection's eventual dispersal. Following several initial sales, the Robinsons purchased the entire remaining collection in 1946, which at that time included a still-impressive portion of the library as well as Phillipps' personal papers, which they lent to Munby in the preparation of this book. Their letter, tucked into the book, indicates that this copy was given by them as a gift. Dated September 1962, it reads "For Molly, who knows our part of the Phillipps story so well. Love, Lionel & Philip.".
