A splendidly intemperate correspondent between contributor and publisher, almost worthy of one of Jackson's own bibliophile volumes. The four items are in fair condition, on aged and worn paper, one with paperclip stain, another with brass stud, and a third with staple holes; creasing to carbon copies. Kapp's handwriting is 'artistic', and his letterheads are unusually long 8vos. ONE: Kapp to Jackson, 20 January 1920. Signed 'E X Kapp'. 1p, 8vo. Begins: 'My dear Holbrook-Jackson, | Don't you feel you'd like to send me a copy or two of "To-Day" each time? I buy one or two as well, you know! And I haven't had even a single "contributor's copy" from you yet!' He is delighted with the reproduction which, for half-tone, is 'splendid'. He ask him to let 'Massy' have his originals back: 'I'm missing sales all the time. I sold the Shaw & Malleson @ 10 gns. each the day they arrived at the Studio & could have sold several others if you'd only have had the blocks made & sent 'em back to me. I should be so grateful if you would. All of 'em - please!' TWO: Unsigned Carbon Typescript Copy of Jackson's reply to One, 22 January 1920. 1p, 4to. He begins: 'As I told you at the inorganisation of our negotiations it will be impossible for me to have blocks made of all your drawings at once, but I am arranging to do three at a time as in the first instance, and as soon as the third has gone to press will put three more in hand and return drawings to you. I am afraid this is the best I can do for the present, as I have locked up as much money in these caricatures as the paper will stand.' Having worked himself up into a quite understandable stew of indignation, he concludes on the subject of the requested copies: 'I think it is unfair of you to ask us to send you free copies, as I did not ask you to let us have free drawings. If you do not consider "To-day" worth buying I am sorry both for "To-day" and for yourself.' THREE: Kapp to Jackson, 25 January 1920. 2pp, 8vo. Signed 'Edmond X Kapp'. He wites in combative fashion, with a blizzard of rhetorical questions: 'Do you not think the tone you affect towards me [.] is a little unnecessarily aggrieved? You know very well that I always buy "To-Day." Besides, I told you so in my last. Didn't you believe me? More. Perhaps you have forgotten that I took in TO-DAY from the start; and, indeed, on that occasion I sent you a personal letter expressing to you my congratulation, my appreciation and my goodwill. Do you remember what I said in that letter from France? I meant it.' He continues on the subject of contributor's copies, stating that 'Every other paper I have ever drawn or written for sends out at least one [.] Even, to my surprise, the "English Review" [.] Do you not conform to this practice? It seems to me a pleasant courtesy. I don't mind spending a number of sixpences on "To-Day"s. But that isn't quite the point, is it?' The second half of the letter is in a slightly more conciliatory tone, with Kapp expressing regret that Jackson cannot 'meet me here, as it is a real loss to me. However, I quite follow you and shall not raise the question again. Meanwhile, however, you DID agree to pay for drawings on delivery - otherwise, what point in my sending them to you months ahead instead of keeping them at the Studio?' He discusses the outstanding account, asking: 'Will you be kind enough to settle now? I am not forgetting the other two drawings to complete the dozen. They will probably be Zangwill & W. L. George, if you want these. | I send you warm and friendly greetings!' FOUR: Unsigned Carbon Typescript Copy of Jackson's reply to Three, 28 January 1920. 2pp, 4to. He begins in conciliatory tone, stating that he believes 'every word you say about "To-day" and not only believe it but appreciate your kindly reference to the little journal. | My letter to you was hurriedly dictated, I was departing for Scotland from whence I have only just returned.' On the subject of contributors' copies, he explains: 'we have never observed this custom owing to the peculiar circumstances under which "To-day" has been published which, as I think I told you when you called at this office last, involved payment to everybody who worked for that paper from printer to poet, with the exception of the Editor, who is quite content to work for nothing in the hope that "To-day" might go on living and be of some slight value to those who were prepared to spend sixpence upon each copy, which according to present manufacture rates is precisely half its mere material value.' He hopes the 'little explanation' will explain 'the cause of any irritation my letter to you may have shown'. He accepts that 'we are obviously in default' on the question of payment. 'As a matter of fact I passed your agent's invoice instantly and the delay occurred in our counting house where certain conditions as to pay days have to be observed. I am however sending through a reminder regarding the two remaining pictures and hope you will receive payment at an early date.' Kapp's suggestion 'for a caricature of Zangwill and W. L. George is acceptable'.

Leather. Zustand: Fair. None (illustrator). The very scarce, privately issued first edition of Francis Noel Clarke Mundy's poem, Needwood Forest. The text finishes on page 48 though this seems to have always been the case for this printing. This appears to be an alternate and unrecorded printing of the first edition. A slight mystery.

His most noted work was written to defend Needwood Forest which was enclosed at the beginning of the 19th century. In a contemporary calf binding. Externally, rather worn, with rubbing, marks, and slight loss to the extremities. Rear joint has failed, and board is detached; front joint is tender, and held by one cord only. Internally, generally firmly bound although strained in places. Pages are bright, though with some foxing to the first and last few pages. Fair. book.

First edition, later issue. 8vo. Publisher's variant dark blue cloth with titles in gilt to the spine. Black endpapers. Trimmed bottom edge. Without publisher's adverts. Illustrated with a tinted lithographic frontispiece and a folding map, hand-coloured in outline. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents, with toning to the half title and last leaf as often, are otherwise clean and bright throughout. A scarce variant comprising the trimmed sheets of the 1850 first edition, bound after John van Voorst's retirement in 1886, presumably by his assistants who continued the business under the name Gurney and Jackson. The Scottish physician, writer and explorer Robert Goodsir's account of his voyage in search of his brother, Henry Goodsir, who had been appointed surgeon and naturalist on the doomed 1845 Sir John Franklin Expedition seeking the Northwest Passage. After the disappearance of Franklin and his men, Goodsir resolved to play an active role in locating his brother and the rest of the expedition, writing to Lady Jane Franklin to offer his services. Through her he was introduced to Captain William Penny, who hired him as surgeon on the whaler Advice for the 1849 Arctic season. Together with the whaler Truelove, the Advice formed part of a dual British Whaling and Franklin Search Expedition, which, although profitable for the Advice, was not successful in its search for Franklin, after having been forced to turn back by impacted ice in Lancaster Sound. In the present work, based upon his journal, Goodsir describes the expedition in great detail, providing vivid depictions of the region, the whaling process, the various dangers encountered, such as ice floes, icebergs, storm, and shipwrecks, as well as the wildlife observed and interactions with the Inuit. One of the earliest and scarcer titles relating to the Franklin rescue efforts.

12mo in sixes, engraved frontispiece and pp. [viii], 256; frontispiece (which is dated 1806) a little browned; in early half calf, worn at head of spine and on upper joint. A very popular didactic miscellany, first published in 1780 and many times reprinted. Later editions such as this appeared under the name of E. Tomkins, presumably the compiler's daughter Elizabeth. Most of the poems here are from the 18th century, including selections from Pope, Thomson, Gray, Mason, Goldsmith, and Elizabeth Carter. Thomas Tomkins (1743-1816) was a writing master, with premises in Foster Lane, Cheapside. Since so many writing-books tended to consist of moralising texts, often poetical, this selection may well have grown out of his professional calligraphic work. Tompkins was a well-meaning man, and popular among artists: although he never had the opportunity to become a Royal Academician, he was on friendly terms with Joshua Reynolds, and engaged in many schemes of benevolence. His principal wish was for calligraphy to be recognised as a fine art a wish doomed not to be fulfilled. Provenance. Early inscription of J. Cooke, Yarborough, on front pastedown.
