Cloth. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. A smart copy of this exploration of the different vocabularies of the classes in Britain. Second printing. Illustrated throughout. A discussion of the different vocabularies of the classes in Britain, particularly the "U" which stands for upper class and "non-U" which represents the aspiring middle classes. With commentary on the idea that the middle classes prefer "fancy" or fashionable words in attempts to make themselves sound more refined, while the upper classes in many cases stick to the same traditional words that the working classes also use. Edited by Richard Sandford Buckle, a lifelong English devotee of ballet, and a well-known ballet critic who founded the magazine Ballet in 1939. Illustrated by Timothy Jacques, a British artist and illustrator. In the original blue cloth binding. Externally, excellent. Original unclipped dust wrapper is also excellent with minor sunning to the spine only. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean throughout. Fine.

The five items in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Item One: Autograph Letter Signed (with a crude drawing of Buckle sitting on a rope slung between the printed names of the two magazines). 1p., 4to. On Fleet Street letterhead of 'Ballet Publications Ltd.' Dated by Alport 14 February 1950. The letter concerns an article on the conductor Karl Rankl, and begins: 'Dear Erich | I have just spoken to Harewood [the Earl of Harewood, co-founder with Buckle of 'Opera' magazine]. He would like you to do it, but thinks the Rankl's [sic] friend had better have the job as they seem to have chosen him. What a pity! I was looking forward to your mellow cadences.' He 'adored being blown about at Brighton', and has 'returned full of youthful vigour but absolutely penniless'. Item Two: Autograph Letter Signed ('D'). 2pp., 4to. 'Overstrand, Saturday' [dated by Alport 27 May 1950]. 2pp., 4to. He begins: 'My dear Erich | Thank you so much for your nice letter. I hope indeed we shall often stay in lovelier and greater palazzi together, if not in wind-blown, flowery ditches.' It appears 'that the June number may well be the last. There is just one little plan, which occurred to me on the golf course this afternoon (Fore! Mr. Dorré!), but we shall see in the next few days what comes of it.' He has 'had luncheon with Ursula', who is 'just back from Teneriffe, and seems quite serene and buoyant'; and saw 'five tarry dead seagulls on the beach today, and one huge bird - a cormorant maybe', which brings forth a quotation from Milton. Item Three: Autograph Note Signed ('D.'). On Frith Street letterhead of 'Ballet' magazine. Undated. 1p., landscape 12mo. 'Dearest Erich | Do you want to stay the night on Thursday? Let me know. | Love | D.' Item Four: Typed Circular Signed by Buckle ('Richard Buckle'). On Fleet Street letterhead of 'Ballet and Opera'; February 1949. The first paragraph reads: 'People are always complaining to me - verbally and by post from all over the world - that they can never get BALLET and OPERA. (I must say I was always too lazy to take out an annual subscription to anything until I had a secretary of my own.) Now, thank goodness, there is a little more paper to be had, and we can print a few more copies every month.' Item Five: Typed Letter Signed by 'K. P. Newman | Secretary'. On Frith Street letterhead of 'Ballet' magazine; 31 May 1946. 1p., 4to. Regarding the renewal of his subscription.…
