Full subtitle: 'With a comparative review of the systems proposed by H. Cranmer Phillipps, R.N. and by Captain Levin Joergen Rohde, of the Royal Danish Navy, Knight of the Dannebrog, &c. &c.' The letter was previously attached by four small pieces of red sealing wax on the verso of its blank second leaf to the title-page of the…pamphlet. Letter and pamphlet are now detached, with traces of wax adhering to both, but not affecting the text of either. LETTER: 12mo, one page. Good on aged paper. Addressed to Sir William Symonds (1782-1856), Surveyor of the Navy, naval architect and rear admiral. He troubled Symonds the previous summer with 'a book upon naval signals'. 'The appearance of another work upon the same subject has induced me to write the accompanying little tract, which perhaps you may find time to glance over. I am only anxious for a fair trial of my system.' PAMPHLET: octavo, thirty pages. Several illustrations of flags. Disbound. Aged and creased. Cropped ownership inscription of 'W. Symonds R.N.' at head of title. The pamphlet performs 'the disagreeable, and perhaps somewhat invidious task, of pointing out the more prominent defects in Captain Rohdes' system', and contrasts it with 'his own plan', ending with four pages of 'NUMERAL SIGNALS. [.] The Numbers to be shewn over A WHEFT.'.

The Rochdale Canal was conceived in 1776, and despite opposition from mill owners fearing a disruption to their water supply, began construction following the passing of an act of parliament in 1794. On completion (it was officially opened in 1804), and until the railway age, it constituted the main commercial route between York…shire and Lancashire. The present small collection provides an interesting sidelight into the legal and financial difficulties involved in the project, with several reference reflecting badly on Shuttleworth's professional capabilities. The correspondents are: John Bill of Farley Hall, Staffordshire; William Bilsborrow, Haslingden brewer; Samuel Greg, Rochdale cotton manufacturer; Howarth & Wilcock, Halifax solicitors; Thomas Marriott (of Stockport?); John Robert Ogden, Bradford solicitor; Mark Pearman of Coventry; N. & F. Phillipps & Co., Manchester merchants; Daniel Whalley of Great Fenton. The ten items in fair condition, on aged and worn paper, each with slight loss at the head of the leaf, and Item Five below with a small hole in leaf resulting in loss to a few words of text. A curious feature is the emendation of the word 'Canal' to 'Company' in several of the letters in an unknown nineteenth-century hand. ONE: ALS ('Jno. Bill') from John Bill (1756-1847) of Farley Hall, surgeon to the Manchester Infirmary. 4 May 1802. 1p., 8vo. Depositing a cheque for £40 from Messrs Jones & Co. TWO and THREE: ALS and ANS ('Will Bilsborrow') from William Bilsborrow, Haslingden brewer. ALS: 14 April 1800. 1p., 4to. 'You certainly misconceive my request in my former Letter. I will again state, that I will thank you to favor me with an explanation how a Ball[anc]e. of 19. 10/- arises due to me in the call of June 1st. 95. This, with Particulars of Mr Hamer's Bill, is all I at present require you to furnish me with. There are some errors which I have found & which a personal interview wod. immediately reconcile, [.] I beg your immediate attention to the above, that I may examine and liquidate'. ANS: 17 December 1800. 1p., 4to. He has 'just return'd from a short Journey' and will 'take an oppty of seeing you in the course of a walk'. FOUR: ANS ('Saml. Greg') from Samuel Greg (1758-1834), Rochdale cotton manufacturer (see his entry in the Oxford DNB). Manchester, 18 December 1800. He is remitting a draft for £90 on Joseph Denison of London, 'which you will be pleased to apply towards my Shares in the Rochdale Canal'. The word 'Canal' has been altered in another hand to 'Company'. FIVE: Manuscript Letter, signed 'Howarth & Wilcock', Halifax solicitors. 1 January 1801. 1p., 4to. Regarding the 'Mortgagees of the Revd. Mr: Stopford's Estate', and 'the Land taken for the Use of [.] We have the Dr[af]t. Conveyance to peruse, & have written to Mr: Elliott respecting some variation in the Measure'. SIX: ALS ('Thos Marriott') from Thomas Marriott. Stockport postmark. No date. 1p., 8vo. 'Dr Sr. | Will you have the goodness to enquire and inform me under what Idea the Rochdale Canal [altered by another hand to 'Company') Compy attempt to cut through that Estate at Newton Heath in the Holding of Gt. Berry and it is not within the powers of their Act, if that be true I assure them they never can purchase it it is but a Few Day, that we known [sic] that it was medled [sic] with | I shall be glad you can give better Acctt [sic] then I understand is however something must be done'. Postscript: 'NB Mr. Hessell I understand has had some Conversation with a Mr. Hobson this of course had the right to be enqired into the Appearance stantds that Mr Hobson Has nothing to do with it - even in that case Mr Hassell broke all Faith: this is all nothing, the fact is that if they have it, it is because the [sic] cant be prevented therefore to propose any price for it is useless so if they [sic] Law gives it to them it is done with' SEVEN: ALS ('Jno.

The text formed from a new collation of the early editions . by J[ames] O[rchard] Halliwell [later Halliwell-Phillipps]; the illustrations and wood engravings by Frederick William Fairholt. Sixteen volumes, tall thick folio, original half morocco, rubbed at extremities but very sound. London, Printed for the Editor by J. E. Adla…rd, 1853- Bookplates of G. A. Pilkington and Frederick William Brown. Only edition, one of 150 copies printed. [With:] HALLIWELL, James Orchard [later Halliwell-Phillipps]. A descriptive calendar of the ancient manuscripts and records in the possession of the Corporation of Stratford-upon-Avon; including notices of Shakespeare and his family. London, Printed by J. E. Adlard, 1863. Half morocco, uniform with Halliwell's folio Shakespeare, to which it is a supplement; bookplate of F. W. Brown. Only edition, one of 75 copies printed. Halliwell's great folio edition, '"the most extensive repository of literary, historical, and archaeological information regarding Shakespeare and his writings to be found in any single work, and, typographically, the most sumptuous edition . the largest form in which the bard has yet appeared" (Jaggard (1909), p. 336). Set no. 77 of 150 printed, originally subscribed for by James Pilkington, M. P. Two letters from Halliwell to Pilkington and his receipt for the subscription of £42 (all dated July 1853) are mounted on the rear endleaf of vol. 16; Pilkington's name appears ninth (in order of dignity) in the one-leaf 'Distribution of Copies' in vol. 1. Included in the text are reprints of two early quartos and twelve works on which the plays are based; for a list, see Justin Winsor's 1879 Harvard/Halliwell bibliography (xerox provided); in volume 1 appear an important and pioneering textual discussion, and Halliwell's own Life of Shakespeare - he is rightly described by Schoenbaum as 'the greatest of the nineteenth-century biographers of Shakespeare in the exacting tradition of factual research' - in a version significantly revised from that of 1848. Halliwell's ambitions, in devoting some twenty-five years of his scholarly life to 'the most copious edition of Shakespeare ever printed' (as he himself put it, 'without arrogance'), 'and one of the handsomest and most important series of volumes that could be placed in an English library', involved both literary/bibliographical rectitude, and exacting standards of bookmaking. He promised and provided his subscribers expensive paper, generous type-size (ca. 20 point for the main text), and a format so grand that the numerous facsimiles could appear life-size, without being folded. A dedicated believer in meticulous limitation ('It is a well-known fact that no literary or artistic work maintains its original value unless the impression is strictly limited', he wrote in 1854), he announced a press-run of 150 copies of each volume (plus one for the editor), each numbered and with the printer's autograph attestation, after which all 133 of Fairholt's costly plates, and the numerous woodblocks for in-text illustration, were to be destroyed; and he kept his word, resisting many appeals to enlarge the edition, or reprint it, even at a higher price than his initially advertised two guineas a volume. The earliest subscribers like James Pilkington paid down £42 (for an anticipated twenty volumes in six years ('deo volente'), which in the event were compressed to sixteen, issued over thirteen years), and yet the very first volume proved a loss-maker: the paper and printing alone worked out to £1 8s per copy, the binding 5s., and the illustrative work by Fairholt and others - Halliwell's own work was 'free' - about 14s. Additional (modest) expenses ran the per-copy cost up to £2 15s, and while the entire run was over-subscribed by October 1852 (200 applications for 150 sets), advance payment in full, like Pilkington's, was a rarity, and at two guineas a volume over the years to come, Halliwell seemed to be already committed to an essentially ph.
