The success of the performance would have been impossible without your invaluable assistance.' TWO: Garrick House 23 March 1921. Begins: 'I need hardly say that having regard to my very lengthy assocation with the Palace Theatre it is a matter of keen personal regret to me that I should be severing my connection with this magnificent Theatre but the offer which the London Palace 1921 Limited made to the Shareholders and which has to-day been completed was of such a nature that I did not feel justified in refusing to recommend it to them for their acceptance.' He praises Finck as 'a pillar of strength' who has 'helped me from the Orchestral side to - I think I can say it without egotism - enhance the prestige and reputation of the Palace Theatre until it enjoyed a position which is unique in the Entertainkent World.' He hopes to associate with him in the future and together with his colleagues wishes to show his appreciation 'in a practical manner' and so is enclosing a cheque for £250 the figure being added in autograph.

Thanking him for subscribing to 'the really beautiful gift' adding 'The delightful manner in which you recall the many years during which we have worked together and convey to me your good wishes for my future health and happiness will always be one of my most treasured possessions.' He ends by praising Finck's 'great knowledge of the Theatre your ability to do your job your loyalty and enthusiasm'. From the Herman Finck papers. All five on London letterheads.

American Economy Autograph Letter Signed 'F H E' from banker and Liberal politician Sir F.H. Evans to 'My dear Sir Henry' re. 'Free Trade v. Protection' in the United States following 'the fiscal follies of the earlier part of last century'.
On letterhead of Phesdo House Laurencekirk Kincardineshire N.B. 12 October 1903. 4pp. 12mo. In good condition on lightly-aged paper. Closely written. He feels that he can give an account 'sufficient for yr. purposes without risking inaccuracies wh. opponents might attack'. He begins as follows: 'You are probably aware that after the fiscal follies of the earlier part of the last century the people of the United States resolutely set their faces against taxation except for revenue purposes for the absolute necessities of the Govt. - this lasted till the outbreak of the Civil War when the extraordinary demands upon the Treasury required widespread taxation - & wherever home industries were taxed equivalent or greater import duties were levied.' There follows a detailed analysis of the question concluding: 'Free Trade v. Protection has been a lifelong study for me & I have been so mixed up with the question in the US & with Bright & Cobden in this country that it is difficult for me to believe that we are really committed to a further struggle to maintain the wonderful position wh. Free Trade has given to this country.' From the Evans family papers. On letterhead of Phesdo House, Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire, N.B. 12 October 1903. unknown

Sir Francis Henry Evans (1840-1907) of Tubbendens, Orpington, Kent, banker and company director, Liberal Member of Parliament fo
Long Autograph Letter Signed 'Frank H. Evans' from the banker Sir Francis Henry Evans writing while a young man in Santos Brazil to his parents in England describing a mishap with a tent at the turning of 'the first sod' of a railway station.
Santos São Paulo state Brazil. The first part to his mother dated 29 and 30 May 1860; the second part to his father dated 30 May 1860. 14pp. 12mo. The first 11pp. are addressed to his mother and signed and the last 3pp. to his father and not signed possibly indicating that a continuation is lacking. In fair condition on aged paper with the last leaf worn and creased. He explains his situation at the beginning of the letter: 'First of all you may see from my address above that I am in Santos & secondly from the more cleanly appearance of the letter that I am not in the woods. - Would that I were back again for ever since I have been here I have been ill . On the 11th. of May we finished our Picado or in other words we worked our way well down on to the flat - the next day we came to Santos & have been here with one or two days exception ever since'. He gives 'a short account' of when 'the first sod' was 'turned': 'The affair took place just behind the convent of San Antonio - which is sold for a terminus Station to the Company - it was a good large open place & in every way favourable for such an occasion. . According to the general custom of Brazilians the whole lot of them came an hour too soon & found every thing in a state of confusion - for we had run our time up too near. - You may fancy our horror when we still in our working clothes heard the national band coming & shortly after behld it marching with the guard into the grounds - attended by all the swells. Well there was nothing for it but to make them all wait & pay no attention to them till the time was up so on we worked & on they looked thoroughly disgusted at our cool reception of them - so much for the first mistake At twelve o'clock everything was all right however & the president of the Province a wretchedly small insignificant being agaisnt whom I have a small account for examining me so boringly to see if I bore any forged notes about me when I landed in Rio di Janeiro turned the sod - the Bishop of the diocese or whatever they call it here spat on it & blessed it & put holy water on it much to our disgust as we believe all three of these thing bosh especially the first & third - although according to the ideas of Brazilians the ceremony is not complete without each one - well after this a few of the gift-of-the-gab-in-their-own-opinion Brazilians jawed away for about 3/4 of an hour - the English taking it very quietly sitting down under the tent till they had finished . We all stuck ourselves near the ladies platform to see the far-famed Brazilian ladies - oh! horrors in horrors what a sight when they did come ! ! for one minute we all stood aghast & then as if by magic all disappeared in the crowd & noe talked more of the gentle sex that day'. He proceeds to discuss 'The "Tent affair"' with a small drawing of a tent. The weather worsens and a gust of wind sends 'all the ladies immediately under & in the middle of the tent - well it came stronger & stronger & blew & tore up sheet & holdfasts in the ground - unknown to all ladies we then had about forty men holding for their lives on tow or three other sails. At last came a sneezer - a heavy crack above - & with a shriek & a yell the whole of our beautiful femal garrison hooked it head over heels on hands & knees out of the place jumping forms chairs &c & under the ropes securing the sails'. The women are persuaded to return when there was a gust of wind 'such as I never felt . & away went 240 feet of Canvas'. The description continues in the same light tone 'Champagne & beer are rather apt to make one keep repeating to one's friends - Did you say I was drunk Sir 'cause if you did Sir let me tell you I'm not sir - it's you Sir it's you Sir who are drunk'. 'Everything has been steady work since.' He describes how that day he was 'thrown or rather tumbled off a horse'. On 30 May he describes to his mother how he has 'had a dispute just now' with 'Mrs Rankine the wife of one of our Engineers here' 'about the wife of Charles Matthews - she would have it that the present Mrs. C. M. was the former Mme. Vestris - of course I denied & she in her obstinacy would bet me a pair of gloves'. He concludes with the news that he is 'going to another ball'. To his father he writes in more businesslike terms giving a 'short account of my progress here' with financial details. He reports that 'Bolland with whom I am on the Sierra had spoken highly of me' and that 'Not one day passes on which I do not speak all the four languages & plenty of them too. French Germ. Portug & English. You see German after all turned out a most valuable addition.' He sends his best wishes and asks for family news. The letter concludes 'It is an awfully sickly country & one is liable to all sorts of fatal diseases any minute - People in England sitting quietly at their jolly fires in a comfortable parlour cannot understand what it is to have as much illness round you & to know that you are quite liable to it at any moment.' Santos [São Paulo state, Brazil]. The first part, to his mother, dated 29 and 30 May 1860; the second part, to his father, date hardcover

He has ‘looked up the record of portraits offered in the past but there is no mention of Mrs. Cruikshank or her executors.’ He asks a related question before turning to the subject of the physician Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson 1828-1896 who was in Hake’s opinion ‘more of a professional worthy than a national one’. Despite his opinion Hake ‘would not discourage his portrait being offered if it were not too large a portrait’. He is retaining the slip ‘manuscript fragment’ in case anything further occurs to him. ‘S. Hodgson’ donated a carte-de-visite and a cabinet card to the NPG in 1961. 11 June 1937; on letterhead of the National Portrait Gallery, London. unknown

Sir Leon Radzinowicz. Duplicated typed copy of a lecture to the Second United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders titled 'Criminological and Penological Research'.
London England. 'Lecture to be delivered on Monday 15th August 1960 afternoon: hour to be fixed'. 19pp. foolscap 8vo. On ten leaves stapled together in one corner. In fair condition on aged and worn paper with staining from staple. He introduces his subject as follows in the first paragraph: 'I regard it as a great honour to have been invited by Professor Lopez-Rey on behalf of the Secretariat of the United Nations to address the Second United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders. The subject assigned to me is criminological and penological research a fascinating but intricate theme. I am honoured but also embarrassed for how can I be expected to say something new or important in so distinguished a company of experts from so many parts of the world I cannot but anticipate that much of what I have to say will appear to you self-evident or commonplace.' After providing an 'astounding list' of the 'sub-divisions' of criminology Razinowicz anounces that he deprecates 'those elaborate definitions and sub-divisions and the rather naive belief that clear-cut definitions can be provided' proposing instead the 'workmanlike description' given in the lecture. The only copy traced on either COPAC or OCLC WorldCat at Birmingham. The lecture was republished in a revised form in Radzinowicz's collection 'In Search of Criminology' Harvard 1962. This item derives from the papers of the English journalist George Bilainkin c.1903-1981.

Sir Richard Owen (1804-1892), biologist, comparative anatomist, paleontologist, first Director of Natural History Museum, oppon
Richard Owen palaeontologist who coined the term ‘Dinosaur’ UNSIGNED Draft Autograph Letter to "your Lordship" prob. Lord John Russell see note below; a covering letter apparently about a controversial YMCA lecture.
No place or date 1863-4. About his Lecture "On Some Instances of the Power of God manifested in his Animal Creation" which was perhaps a side-swipe at Darwin. Two pages 12mo some staining and edged with sellotape but text is a scrawl and occasionally hard to interpret including the loss of a couple of words under a stain. Full text as follows: "By the post I forward to your Lordship a Copy of the Lecture "and" scratched out as printed by the Committee of the Y.M. Xian Assoc.Young Man's Christian Association -SEE NOTE BELOW and the Copy which was placed in my hands to show what was subsequently objected to by one at least of the Committee through whose influence it was determined to omit the Lecture in the usual annual Volume. I could wish if your Lordship has not read the Lecture that you would favor me with an unbiased perusal of it - though after newspaper comments that can hardly be hoped for - before you look over the proposed expurgations: and in reference to p.34 to understand me as addressing a body of fellows word or two covered by stain "arrived" at Man's estate and of almost every of the Reformed Church. The imperative condition of attaining to any view of truth expressed by our R.S. Royal Society motto 'nullius in verba' perhaps unduly preoccupied the Naturalist's mind in his appeal to them. Please to return me the scored "purged" deleted and altered & Copy confidentially submitted to your examination and return me". Note: Owen delivered a Lecture entitled "On Some Instances of the Power of God manifested in his Animal Creation" to the YMCA at Exeter Hall published in 1864 hence Owen's reference to "p.34". Notes: a. There is a footnote referring to Lord John's "The obstacles which have retarded moral and political progress : a lecture" pub.1856;b. See Owen's entry in the Oxford DNB. See Image.

Sir Richard Owen (1804-1892), palaeontologist, first Director of Natural History Museum, opponent of the theory of evolution [Sa
Sir Richard Owen palaeontologist. Autograph Letter Signed to Lady Cullum enclosing a long translation by Samuel Birch of inscriptions on an Egyptian statue in the British Museum annotated by Owen and with transcription of letter to him by Birch.
Owen's letter to Lady Cullum dated from Sheen Lodge Richmond Park 5 May 1867. Transcription of Birch's letter to Owen dated from British Museum London 9 July 1860. An interesting item in the field of Victorian Egyptology. The subject is what Owen describes here as 'one of the oldest Statues of an Egyptian Notable in the British Museum'. Its current Museum Number is EA103 and it has been in the Museum since 1835 but the details of its acquisition are unclear. In his translation Birch calls the sitter 'the Royal Scribe Amenhelp' but the current BM description begins: 'Scribal statue of Amenhotep son of Hapu: of black grano-diorite. Hieroglyphic texts are inscribed on the papyrus unrolled on his lap and on the statue plinth. His right hand now broken held a pen as if writing while his left hand holds the papyrus roll. .' At the time of writing Owen and Birch were colleagues at the British Museum Owen as Superintendent of the Natural History Department and Birch as head the Egyptian and Assyrian branch see the entries on both men in the Oxford DNB. The recipient of Owen's covering letter to Birch's translation is Lady Ann Cullum 1807-1875 widow of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum 1777-1855 of Hardwick House. As a palaeontologist Owen opposed Darwin's theory of evolution with a biblical view of creation and his interest in Ancient Egypt bound up with his Christian beliefs is apparent in the letter in an elegant assessment of the significance of the statue and in his annotation of Birch's translation. The letter and translation are on four 4to pages of the same paper. In good condition with light signs of age and wear. The letter is on the recto of the first leaf of a bifolium and the first page of the translation on the recto of the second leaf but they have now been inverted by folding with the two leaves carrying the other two pages of the translation tipped-in at the front resulting in the material being presented in reverse order. ONE: Covering Autograph Letter Signed from Owen to Lady Cullum with good firm signature addressed from 'Sheen Lodge Richmond Park 5th May 1867.' 1p 4to. The letter reads: 'Dear Lady Cullum I have the pleasure to send agreeably with my promise a copy of the Translation of the hyeroglyphic sic Inscription on one of the oldest Statues of an Egyptian Notable in the British Museum. It affords a suggestive insight into a social position of one of the earliest historical civilized & organized Communities. The date is probably anterior to that which may be assigned to the visit of Abram to Egypt. Gen. XII. Retaining a lively recollection of the pleasure of the day spent at Hardwick I remain Your Ladyship's very truly Richard Owen.' TWO: Manuscript translation described in Owen's letter. 3pp 4to. Written out in an unknown hand with the first of the five sections titled: 'Translation of the Inscription on the Garment and Papyrus which he is unrolling.' The other four sections of the translation are: 'Inscription In Front of the base' 'Running to the left of the figure' 'right Side' and 'Left side'. At the head of the first page in Owen's autograph: 'Hyeroglyphics sic on the Statue of the Seated Royal Scribe “Amenhelp†in the British Museum.' On the third page at the end of the translation and in the same unknown hand is written out a 'Copy of letter from Samuel Birch Esqre: F.S.A. &c. Keeper of Antiquities in the British Museum enclosing the above Translation to Professor Owen: -'. Birch's letter is dated from the British Museum 9 July 1860. It reads: 'My dear Professor Enclosed is the Translation of the Inscriptions on the Granite Statue of the Seated Scribe. It Consists of the Dedication of the Statue to the Royal Scribe Amenhelp and of his prayers to the God Amen-Ra – the Theban Jupiter. Believe me Yours very truly signed Samuel Birch'. The translation carries tem marginal annotations in Owen's autograph indicating an interest in and knowledge of the subject. The two of Owen's annotations read: 'His territorial Title: Baron Shamer like all the Nobility of Egypt was a priest: the condition is now parallel'd at the Court of Rome.' and 'the Upper & Lower Provinces of Egypt paralleling the Heavens & the Earth.' See Image of Owen's letter. Owen's letter to Lady Cullum dated from Sheen Lodge, Richmond Park, 5 May 1867. Transcription of Birch's letter to Owen dated fr unknown

I am quite ready to begin the Causerie which we have discussed. I would not like it to be confined to politics. I am quite sure I can get exclusive political news when it is going but it is not always available. In any case a gossipy newsy Causerie should be more comprehensive.

In Ingram’s opinion the recipient ‘would do well to realise as in these days of never ending competition the older one gets the more difficult it is to tackle the worry of these incessant attacks’.

Sly, Peter - Director Conference of Western Attorney's General
Reserved Water Rights Settlement Manual
Wasington D.C. - Covelo California: Island Press 1989. First Printing . Hard Back. Very Good/Very Good. 6 1/4" X 9 1/2. 259 Pages Indexed. A very good condition book with maroon boards and silver spine lettering. Interior text pages are bright tight and white. Since the establishment of Indian and other federal reservations two separate systems of water rights have emerged in the water-scarce West. These two systems one federal and the other state have resulted in water rights disputes leading to lengthy and expensive litigation. This manual the result of a comprehensive study by the Conference of Western Attorneys General attempts to make it easier to achieve negotiated settlements as an alternative to litigation. The Reserved Water Rights Settlement Manual begins by outlining the history of these two systems. The federal system of reserved water rights was created by the courts to protect water rights on federal reservations. Conflicts develop because federal reserved water rights do not depend on continuous use and it is not clear how much water is reserved for each reservation until the courts clarify the scope of the right. Under the state system however water is quantified based on continuous use; state rights can be affected if all federal reserved rights are put to actual use. The study compiles recent experience in settlement efforts between tribal state and federal governments. It provides each party with the information they should have in an effort to assist the settlement process. The study is directed toward the negotiating process itself and the roles of the three governments in combining these two inconsistent systems. <br/> <br/> Island Press hardcover
