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. Fair condition, on lightly aged paper, with slight loss along one edge due to removal from mount. Signed 'Simon', 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.'.…

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'.…

No binding. Zustand: Very Good. 420 x 500 mm., etching on fine thick paper with large margins, in good condition. A magnificent series of extremely high quality etchings of great rarity. The first Earl Harcourt was governor to the royal princes and in the early 1750s his children, George Simon the Viscount Nuneham and Lady Elizabeth Harcourt took lessons in drawing from Richard Dalton and landscape from George Knapton, Joshua Kirby and Alexander Cozens. It is known that they on occasion were taught in the company of the royal princes. The Harcourt family had owned Stanton Harcourt in Oxfordshire since the Norman Conquest but in 1712 had acquired Newnham Courtenay. The first Earl moved the family there and renamed it Nuneham. Also associated with the family at this time was the great artist Paul Sandby (1725-1809). In 1760 a painting of his of Nuneham was exhibited at the Society of Artists.The Viscount (1736-1809) was a Francophile at heart and loved the old family home which connected himself to the Normans. Like his father he was a patron of the arts although at the more extreme for the period. He befriended Rousseau who actually stayed with him during his exile from France. In 1760 Nuneham drew two images (plates I & IV) of the old Stanton-Harcourt family home. In the same year Paul Sandby provided a third, critically acclaimed the best. In 1763 Nuneham etched the three and produced a fourth drawing which he etched the following year. His contemporary Horace Walpole wrote on 16 March 1763 that the first two prints were "the richest etchings I ever saw, and masterly executed". He noted also that Nuneham was planning two more. Despite the statements on the prints to the contrary there is some evidence from the pencil notes of Sandby that it was he who drew the original views.In 1785 Viscount Nuneham, the then second Earl Harcourt, presented the original copperplates for the series of four views to the Society of Antiquaries. A second edition, offered here, dedicated to the Society was printed in the same year. Daghlian and Hilles (1937) p. 230; Salway, Peter (1996) 'The Society's Prints of Stanton Harcourt, Oxfordshire', in 'The Antiquaries Journal vol. 76 pp. 269-75; Sloan, Kim (2000) A Noble Art; Upcott III p. 1076.…

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.'.…
