Liberal politician (1873-1954). Both letters written while the Right Hon. Sir John Simon. Both letters dusty but in good condition. Letter to Hobman, 1 page, 4to. Thanks him 'for commissioning Mr Landa to come round with me on my Western Tour. He was a most excellent companion and we both enjoyed it. Since then I have been to Manchester and Colne Valley and Holderness, [& Bradford,] and everywhere I find Liberals in high [^ Spirits,] and thirsting for the fight.' Letter to Landa, 1 page, 16mo. He is writing for Lady Simon. 'She wishes she could manage Central Leeds for you but you must please excuse her, for she has such a full list that she could not add to it.' Both signed 'John Simon'. Myer Jack Landa was the author of a number of books, including 'Palestine as it is' (1932).

A tenuous Titanic item: at the time of writing Simon, as solicitor-general, was representing the Board of Trade at the British enquiry into the sinking, at the address on the letterhead. See his entry and Ilbert's in the Oxford DNB. Joyce Violet Ilbert (1890-1957) was the youngest of Sir Courtenay's five daughters. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. Folded twice. Written in pencil. Signed 'John Ilbert'. Begins: 'My dear Joyce, / (For the last time - you will be "Miss Ilbert" at 2.35 p.m) - the Rolls Royce with 2 men will be outside your door at ten minutes to two. Smith is the driver: Bonner is the second man. They will proudly wear any white favour. The car will remain at your service.' She is to inform Bonner whether the car is to 'bring the bride & bridegroom back to Speaker's Court & tell him also whether the car is wanted to take the couple to the station'. He concludes: 'I hope [underlined] to turn up'.

At the time of the second letter Mansel was serving his only stint in Parliament, a brief period as Liberal MP for Penryn and Falmouth. ONE (ALS, 13 February 1921): 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. He expresses great disappointment regarding the misunderstanding which meant that he and his wife missed coming to lunch with the Mansels. 'I feel really vexed to think that some failure to communicate plans left Lady Mansel & yourself in doubt, after all the trouble you took.' Simon's wife is 'much looking forward' to spending the following night at the Mansels' country house Maesycrugiau. Simon has to be back in London 'for a case in the Privy Council' the following morning. His wife's maid 'will turn up with the luggage in the course of the afternoon'. TWO (TLS, 11 December 1923): 1p., 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. He thanks him for his letter, and for the book, which he will keep at his bedside. He suggests that Mansel 'drop in' to see the Simons when he is next in London, and he looks forward 'to our early meeting'.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient, the educationist Thomas Lloyd Humberstone (1876-1957), was a prominent member of the Convocation of the University of London. Both items in fair condition, on lightly aged paper, the second with slight loss along one edge due to removal from mount. Both signed 'Simon'. ONE: 17 January 1948. 1p, 12mo. Folded once. 'I do not for a moment believe that the adverse vote carried at a depleted meeting of the General Committee represents the broad view of the Club [clearly the National Liberal Club] as a whole, but I have to take things as I find them. So, unless the Club, as a whole, cancels the verdict, I have no desire to be a marked man in that company. I am urging all other Liberal-Nationals (who have not been selected for attack) to remain.' TWO: 8 November 1948. 1p, 4to. Folded twice. He is sorry that Humberstone is 'laid up' and will read his 'brochure' with interest. He does not consider that there is 'anything of a legal or constitutional force' (with the words 'of' to 'force' in autograph) in Humberstone's point 'that the old Universities at one time were granted Parliamentary representation by prerogative action'. He discusses the present operation of the prerogative, with reference to 'my argument in Attorney-General v. De Keyser Hotel, where we proved that the Crown could not exercise its power to requisition land, even for war purposes, without paying for it as statute law provides'. He concludes the paragraph: 'Whether right or wrong, the question now turns solely on what the Statute Book contains.'.

See the entries on Simon and Ross in the Oxford DNB. At the time of writing Ross was a Fellow of Oriel College. Barnett House in Oxford was established in 1914 as a result of an appeal to academic and political figures, mainly through the actions of another Oriel fellow, Sidney Ball (1857-1918). It was named after Canon Barnett, founder of the university settlement Toynbee Hall. Barnett House was intended as a 'citizens' house' - a centre for economic and social enquiry, and between 1957 and 2004, as a department of the university, was a centre for the training of social workers. See G. Smith, E. Peretz and T. Smith, 'Social enquiry, social reform and social action' (OUP, 1914). Each of the two items is 1p, 4to. Both in good condition, lightly aged (the first more than the second) and worn. Both folded once. Both are addressed to 'W. D. Ross, Esq. / Oriel College. / Oxford.' Each signed 'John Simon'. ONE (2 May 1911): He cannot make 'an absolutely binding engnagement' for a date as far ahead as 27 October, but is 'putting the suggested engagement down in my diary and if nothing intervenes which makes it impossible', will be glad 'to come to speak with Lord Selborne on behalf of University Settlements on that evening'. TWO (14 November 1914): Signed 'Yrs trly / John Simon' and with 'Enclosure' written by him at top left (no enclosure present). He is sorry for not responding to Simon's letter of 3 October more promptly. 'I enclose my cheque for £50, being the donation (not a periodical subscription) which I promised to the fund being raised to start Barnett House. I hope you will get what you need.'.

1p., 8vo. Fair, on aged and lightly-worn paper. The letter begins: 'If the only son of a widow, upon whose earnings the mother depends, does not volunteer, he will, if unmarried, and of military age, be entitled to appeal for exemption from the Military Service Act. Mr. Walter Long expressly stated in the House of Commons that it was the intention of the authorities to exempt such cases.' Simon goes on to discuss the position of 'the Local Tribunal', and to point out the position of those who attest. He has added in pen: 'Appeal must be made before March 2nd'. Simon's first term as Home Secretary had ended the previous month, and he was now in opposition as an Asquithite Liberal.

8vo. 1 p. Namenszug unterhalb seines Portraits. - 1906 wurde er als Liberaler erstmals ins Parlament gewählt. 1910 wurde er als Solicitor-General in die Regierung Asquith berufen und 1913 zum Attorney General befördert. Im Mai 1915 wurde er als Nachfolger von Reginald McKenna Innenminister in der neugebildeten Koalitionsregierung unter Asquith, trat aber nach einem Jahr aus Protest gegen die Einführung der Wehrpflicht zurück. Um Zweifel an seinem Patriotismus zu zerstreuen, diente er dann im Stab des Royal Flying Corps unter Hugh Trenchard.Nach Kriegsende arbeitete Simon zunächst wieder als Barrister, nachdem er seinen Parlamentssitz verloren hatte. Von 1927 bis 1931 leitete er die Statutskommission für Britisch-Indien, die Empfehlungen für eine indische Verfassung ausarbeiten sollte. Bei der Spaltung der Liberalen Partei 1931 wurde Simon Vorsitzender der Nationalliberalen und später Außenminister in der Nationalen Regierung von Ramsay MacDonald. Unter MacDonalds Nachfolger Stanley Baldwin wurde er 1935 Innenminister und unter Chamberlain 1937 Chancellor of the Exchequer (bis 1940). In diesem Jahr wurde er als Viscount Simon zum Peer erhoben und zum Lordkanzler der Regierung Churchill ernannt. Da er jedoch zusammen mit Samuel Hoare als Hauptverantwortlicher für die gescheiterte Appeasement-Politik galt, wurde er nicht Mitglied des engeren Kriegs-Kabinetts. Dazu trug auch bei, dass er bei den Parteifreunden und anderen Politiker außerordentlich unbeliebt war und als Opportunist galt, der sich überall anbiederte.Nach dem Labour-Wahlsieg 1945 zog er sich aus dem öffentlichen Leben zurück. Bei der Rückkehr Churchills an die Regierung im Jahre 1951 wurde ihm kein Ministerposten angeboten.

Giving notice that he is that day 'applying to the Lord Chancellor for silk'. Accompanied by an undated Autograph Memorandum by Frederick Allan Wilshire (1868-1944), Recorder of Bridgwater, stating that it is 'of particular interest.

A. W.' TWO: ALS ('J. A. Simon'). 15 February 1908. From All Soul's, Oxford. 1p., 12mo. He was 'delighted to hear from Sam Evans that he had hooked you & was well content. | Also about the 80 Club'. THREE: ALS ('J. A. Simon'). 18 October 1910. On letterhead of the Solicitor General. Regarding his standing as Liberal candidate in the General Election, he needs 'canvassing help in Walthamstow: no end of it. [last four words underlined three times] Will you really? A lot of Western Circuiteers are lending a hand, & this time it is more men than speakers [.] Of course we should like a speech from you too - but really it is the other is the thing just now. I can motor you back, after meetings from the Central Office.' He ends by asking for 'some motors for Nov 1st. Do, do, do.' FOUR: ALS ('John Simon'). 1 November 1912. On letterhead of the Solicitor General. 2pp., 12mo. Accompanied by envelope addressed to Dummett, franked 'John Simon'. He cannot be present at a dinner in Dummett's honour that night, as he has 'committed myself long since to another function where, to the common regret of myself and the other revellers, I have to make a speech'.

Offering to assist him in his application for a County Court Judgeship, but pointing out that all the other applicants have also written to him. 'I will speak to the A.

You know how sincerely I wish you well.' SIX: TLS ('John Simon'). 23 February 1911. From 57 Kensington Court. 1p., 4to. Agreeing to have a talk, despite being 'most fearfully busy', at the House of Commons: 'Come to the S. G.'s room, which you have reason to know so well.'.
