Thomas Day [Edmund Taylor; Windsor, Berkshire; Oxford Street; Georgian London; John Romney?; Matthew Cotes Wyatt?]:
Thomas Day Autograph Letter Signed 'Thos: Day' to Edmund Taylor inc. original unpublished forty-line manuscript poem by Day entitled 'Lines address'd to Windsor' in which he has 'spit his spite' on the town.
25 March 1810; Oxford Street. The work of a cultured and witty man but not by the author of 'Sandford and Merton' who died in 1789. While possible authors include the 'Mr. Thomas Day solicitor Woburn Bedfordshire' whose death at the age of 47 on 18 February 1824 was reported in The Times 5 March 1824 and the Thomas Day who lived around this time at Montague Street Russell Square the most likely candidate considering the references to 'Romney' and 'Wyatt' is the Thomas of 'DAY William and Thomas Day of No. 95 Gracechurch-street in the city of London oilmen' who went bankrupt in 1841. The item consists of a 4to bifolium letter: recto of first leaf; poem: verso of first and recto of second leaf; address: verso of second leaf. With postmark and fragment of red wax seal. Text clear and entire except for two words of the poem lost on the breaking open of the seal. Aged creased and ruckled with contemporary repairs including the highly unusual neat sewing of a 9 cm closed tear. Day writes that 'the reading of a letter from you cannot console me for the loss of you. - Thayer Street my Dear Sir has lost all its charms now - I would not give a pin for it - I should not care if it was burnt down. - I hate to go near it. - I hate Windsor too for decoying you away. I will come down & set fire to it ere long to drive you up to town again. I have spit my spite against it in a copy of Verses.' In a postscript he writes that 'Mr. Sewell Chandler Romney John Romney 1786-1863 engraver &c are all well. Mr. Wyatt Matthew Cotes Wyatt 1777-1862 painter and sculptor is removed from his late lodgings the people of the house say they dont know where to they believe into the Country'. The poem begins 'Oh! Windsor how shall I in language tell The Grief and Envy Thou hast in me raised; I hate Thee now tho' once I loved Thee well And often have Thy various beauties prais'd.' Describes the 'various charms' of Windsor 'a Royal castle's pride' 'A Terraced hight sic' 'Thy Forest's ample shade' and how these do not 'alleviate my loss . Since Thou hast stol'n my Valued Friend from me.' Concludes: 'May Fate torment You to the end of Time Or till you send my Valued Friend to me.' 25 March 1810; Oxford Street. unknown

Thomas George Bonney geologist. Autograph Letter Signed 'T. G. Bonney' to an unnamed male recipient commending his 'interesting paper' and discussing the 'Lafoten rocks' with reference to a conversation with 'Mr Dahl'.
On letterhead of St John's College Cambridge. 20 February 1871. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. Very good on lightly-aged paper. He begins by commending the recipient's 'interesting paper': 'Of the justice of your remarks there can of course be no doubt and even the small amount of knowledge that I have been able to acquire of the nature of rocks has for some time past convinced me of the importance of what you <argue>'. He explains that he did his best 'in getting specimens of the Lafoten rocks but the tast was very difficult and very unsuccessful owing to the great hardness of the rocks. Quarries of course were absent'. When he 'wrote a short paper which I sent to the Geological Society I had not got <Keilan's> book - I have since looked at the part about the Lafotens but it appears to me that he is by no means clear about the nature of the rocks there although it is evident that he regarded many parts as metamorphic. Forbes calls mempanite and Mr Dahl in conversatino with myself maintained that they were so knowing that he was a geologist of some repute and finding it almost impossible to get hold of Norwegian books I concluded that the opinion expressed by Travellers was generally held'. He concludes by stating that 'Since asking the question about Dolomite' he has 'come upon Mr Sorby's paper. Henry Clifton Sorby 1826-1908 He is doubtless right - Mr Hunts speculations seem to me very wild.' On letterhead of St John's College, Cambridge. 20 February 1871. unknown

Thomas Muir the Younger of Huntershill 1765 - 1799 was a Scottish political reformer and the first political prisoner transported to Australia. Muir was sentenced to 14 years transportation for the the crime of sedition; for campaigning for parliamentary reform and for distributing copies of Thomas Paine's 'The Rights of Man'. His trial became one of the great sensations of the day; he was one of the group known as the 'Scottish Martyrs' who were sentenced in Scotland in 1793-4. Antipodean Books Maps & Prints ABAA; Thomas Fyshe Palmer 1747–1802 was an English Unitarian minister political reformer and convict. When agitation for political reform began in 1792 Dundee became one of its centres in Scotland. A society called the 'Friends of Liberty' was formed in 1793. One evening in June 1793 Palmer attended a meeting when George Mealmaker weaver in Dundee brought a draft of an address to the public which he purposed circulating as a handbill. Palmer revised it modifying it to a complaint against the government for war taxation and a claim for universal suffrage and short parliaments. The address was sent to be printed in Edinburgh in July 1793. The authorities were alarmed and decided to meet an anticipated revolution in time; and in the belief that they were attacking a revolutionary leader Palmer was arrested in Edinburgh on 2 August on a charge of sedition as the author of the document.

Bookworm tracks and tunnels are present from the front pastedown to page 12 of the first volume and from page 155 through the back of the back paste-down of the second volume.

Thomas Rodd the younger (1796-1849), London bookseller [William Upcott (1779-1845) of the London Institution, antiquary and auto
Thomas Rodd the younger London bookseller to William Upcott of the London Institution. Autograph Letter Signed 'Thos. Rodd' arranging an evening to view Upcott's 'Literary treasures' with 'Mr Field' James Thomas Fields.
3 May 1836; 2 Great Newport Street London. 2pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Corner of second leaf cut away on opening of letter and still adhering to wafer. Folded twice. Addressed to 'W. Upcott Esq.' Upcott has been 'so kind as to invite Mr Fields and me to spend an evening with you in going over some of your Literary treasures' and Rodd has 'an indistinct idea of some particular evening being named' by Upcott. In the hope that the present evening was not intended he asks Upcott to send word of which evening will suit his convenience. In a long postscript Rodd expresses the hope that - should the present evening have been intended for the meeting - Upcott will excuse Rodd's forgetfulness 'and impute it to the right cause the having of one's thoughts in a Sale-room added to which I had been travelling all the previous night'. Rodd was highly regarded for his knowledge and fair dealing. He issued several catalogues of Americana. 'Mr Field sic' was presumably James Thomas Fields 1817-1881 of the celebrated Boston firm Ticknor and Fields who started in the trade at the age of fourteen and whose name was 'Field' until later in life. 3 May 1836; 2 Great Newport Street [London]. unknown

Napoleon 'Copy of the Transparency exhibited at Ackermann's Repository of Arts During the Illuminations of the 5th and 6th of November 1813 In Honour of the Splendid Victories obtained by The Allies over the Armies of France at Leipsic
Date place and publisher not stated. London: R. Ackermann 1813. On a piece of good wove paper roughly 415 x 260 mm. Dimensions of engraving 180 x 220 mm. On aged paper and with the margins of the leaf trimmed. Laid down along the right hand margin runs a strip of blue paper 30 x 410 mm which it may be possible for a professional restorer to remove. This edges the border of the print which is clear and entire and overlaps a few letters of the text. Neatly coloured in sombre tones. Beneath the print is the title which ends 'at Leipsic and its environs.' and beneath the title is an eleven-line section of text headed 'THE TWO KINGS OF TERROR.' beginning 'THIS Subject representing the two Tyrants viz. the Tyrant BONAPARTE and the Tyrant DEATH sitting together on the Field of Battle'. Death is seated on a cannon with one foot on a pile of cannonballs and the other on a broken French eagle facing a dejected Bonaparte seated on a drum. In the background the massed ranks of the allies their four flags flying drive the retreating French from the field. The final four-line paragraph reads 'The above description of the subject appeared in the Sun of Saturday the 6th of November. These pointed comments arose from the picture being transparent and from a Circle indicative of the strength and brotherly union of the Allies which surmounted the same composed of gas of brilliant brightness.' See Image. Date, place and publisher not stated. [London: R. Ackermann, 1813.] unknown

Thomas Seccombe biographer. Two Autograph Letters Signed to the publisher John Lane concerning the Titmarsh Club and Lane's publication of books by Stephen Sydney Reynolds.
One from 18 Perryn Road Acton W London. 2 April 1908. The other with the same address on letterhead of the East London College University of London Mile End Road E. 21 October no year. Both items in fair condition on lightly-aged paper. ONE: 3pp. 12mo. Bifolium. The letter begins: 'Dear Mr Lane Conscientious research in Titmarshian activities seems to point to the fact that you owe to the club the sum of 22/- for two dinners in October 1907.' He continues on this theme for a while before turning to Reynolds: 'I am very glad to hear that you are going to bring out the Holy Mountain & Poor Mans House by Reynolds. As partly responsible for the <nucleus> suggestion of the Mountain & the location at Acton I take some interest in the book & also in its author. A good many others do the same & I think it should attract enough preliminary notice to attract some public attention to a kind of satire rather vitriolic which a large populace may conceivably fasten on with voracity.' He regards the book as 'somewhat experimental' the 'Poor Man's House' having 'more solid & artistic qualities. I cannot help thinking that there are possibilities of literary achievement quite out of the common in S. R.' The final paragraph describes a book he has acquired. TWO: 2pp. 12mo. Bifolium. He thanks him for sending 'A Poor Man's House' of which he has 'written glowingly in my two little causeries one in The Reader's Review the other in the Country House'. He asks him to 'repeat the experiment' by sending another book before commenting: 'Reynolds far exceeds my anticipation & I am proud with a certain reflected glory in having contributed before any one else to his being Deterré as Pope said of Dr. Johnson. I hope your sporting support of him will be justified & I certainly think it will.' Reynolds' entry in the Oxford DNB notes Seccombe's influence on him. The Titmarsh Club was a society formed in appreciation of the works of Thackeray. One from 18 Perryn Road, Acton, W [London]. 2 April 1908.
