Both Sylvester's letter and the copy of the letter by Starmer to which it is replying are in good condition, on lightly-aged paper, each with punch holes to one margin. Starmer, who at the time of writiing was proprietor of a large group of newspapers, had begun his career on the 'Northern Echo'; he had for many years been a Liberal member of parliament, standing down in 1931 due to ill health. Cober Hill Guest House was at that time an early experiment in what would become the children's home or retreat. For clarity's sake this description begins with the copy of Starmer's letter: 1p., 4to. 17 lines. 'The Guest House is about 15 miles from Whitby and you pass it on the way to Scarborough. | Last Saturday, Prince George was at the Guest House and was very much interested in what is being done. This is only the beginning of an effort of this kind so far as the "Northern Echo" is concerned.' He would like to be present if Lloyd George visits, and asks Sylvester to let 'Miss Andrews, the general manager, know. If it is a sudden visit, I suggest you should telephone Cober Hill and let Miss Andrews know, so that she can have the children on view. Otherwise, they might be on the sands or taken into Scarborough for the day.' Sylvester's letter: 1p., 4to. 17 lines. Addressed to Starmer at the Westminster Press Ltd, The Newspaper House, Fleet Street. It is not possible to give 'a definite answer' regarding the planned visit. 'The situation is this. Mr. Lloyd George must return to London on the 1 p.m. train by Tuesday. He is due to speak in good time that morning, but he does not know how long the discussion will last.' He thinks it would be best for him to telephone 'to Miss Andrews'. He apologises for the short notice: 'it will not give you an opportunity of being there personally, which I am sure Mr. Lloyd George would have liked.'.…

(London, Richard Taylor and William Francis, 1853) 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1853, Vol. 143 - Part III. With the titlepage to Vol.153 - Part III. a. pp. 397-406. Clean and fine. First printing of a main paper of the founder (together with Cayley) of the theory of algebraic invariants. This theory involved a more general theory of "covariants", more concretely, given a binary form of a particular degree, Sylvester and Cayley devised techniques both for explicitly finding invariants and covariants of that form and for determining algebraic relations, or "Syzygetic", between them. Sylvester tackled these problems in the paper offered, and proving among other results "Sylvester's Law of Inertia."Another problem of great importence investigated in two long memoirs of 1853 and 1864 (the paper offered) concerns the nature of the roots of quintic equation. Sylvester took the functions of the coefficients that serve to decide the reality of the roots, and treated them as coordinates of a point in n-dimensional space. A point is or is not "facultative" according to whether there correspons, or fail to correspond, an equation with real coefficients. The character of the roots depends on the bounding surface or surfaces of the facultative regions, and on a single surface depending on the "discriminant."(DSB XIII, p. 219).…
