[Earl of Southesk, Charles Noel Carnegie, 10th] [Provenance: Adam Smith, Lady [Janet] and subsequently the Alpine Club London] /
A Kenyan Farm Diary - With Illustrations. From the library of eminent scottish Writer Mountaineer and Literary Critic Janet Adam Smith and subsequently the Alpine Club in London for which Janet Adam Smith was Vice-President during the years 1978-1980 and to which she possibly had donated this book our company has purchased a large stock of fantastic books and periodicals from the famous Alpine Club through Forum Auctions several years ago.
1931. Second Impression. Edinburgh and London William Blackwood & Sons Ltd. 1931. Octavo. Frontispiece XII 271 pages. With seven photographic illustrations on four plates. Original Hardcover with the very rare original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear and foxing to the edges and several pages. This book is very rare in its original dustjacket. Inscribed and signed by Charles Noel Carnegie 10th Earl of Southesk 1854-1941: "To Lady Adam Smith from the Earl of Southesk - Jan 1934". With a newspaper-clipping on an event of Inverness Central School loosely inserted and with a newspaper-clipping shopwing the elderly "Earl of Southesk and Mr. Donald Steuart-Fothringham going out to shoot over Petterden Moor Angus". A wonderful association copy ! Charles Noel Carnegie 10th Earl of Southesk JP DL 20 March 1854 10 November 1941 was a Scottish nobleman. Carnegie was the son of the explorer and poet James Carnegie 9th Earl of Southesk and his first wife Catherine Hamilton Noel daughter of the Charles Noel 1st Earl of Gainsborough. He had three older sisters Lady Arabella Charlotte wife of Samuel Romilly Lady Constance Mary wife of Victor Bruce 9th Earl of Elgin and Lady Beatrice Diana Cecilia Diana Cecillia wife of the Rev. Henry Holmes Stewart. After his mother's death in 1855 at the age of twenty-six his father remarried to Lady Susan Catherine Mary Murray eldest daughter of the 6th Earl of Dunmore in 1860. From his father's second marriage he had seven younger half-siblings including: Sir Lancelot Douglas Carnegie Lady Dora Susan wife of Maj. Ernest de Rodakowski-Rivers Lady Elizabeth Erica Lady Helena Mariota Lady Katherine Agnes Blanche wife of Courtenay Morgan 1st Viscount Tredegar Hon. Robert Francis who married Violet Fraser and Hon. David Wynford Carnegie. His paternal grandparents were Sir James Carnegie 5th Baronet de jure 8th Earl of Southesk and the former Charlotte Lysons a daughter of the Reverend Daniel Lysons. He was educated at Harrow and St Andrews University and would later receive an honorary degree from the university in October 1902. Amongst his various offices he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the part-time Forfar and Kincardine Artillery Militia in 1872 and steadily progressed through the officer ranks until he became the Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant in 1894 with the honorary rank of Colonel. He retired from the command in 1906. He also served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Angus Aberdeenshire and Kincardineshire from 5 January 1900. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for Aberdeenshire and for Angus. In 1905 he succeeded his father as the 10th Earl of Southesk who had restored the family titles with the original precedence by reversal of the 1715 Act of Attainder in 1855. He had the reputation of being the best game shot in Scotland. In 1921 Kinnaird Castle which was situated in one of the grandest Scottish glens and was the seat of the Earls of Southesk for more than 600 years burnt to the ground. "Only a small part of the servant's wing has escaped. A considerable part of the library was saved but many books impossible to replace as well as Raeburn's portrait of Lady Carnegie valued at £10000 were lost." Lord Southesk rebuilt the castle. A prominent art collector he owned "a large collection of paintings by old masters and antique gems." Source: Wikipedia hardcover

[Ferdinand Vester]; London Jews' Society's "House of Industry"
Wild Flowers of the Holy Land; Matt. VI 28 29 30
Jerusalem Palestine: Printed at the London Jews' Society's House of Industry Jerusalem N.D. Circa 1890's. First Edition. Hardcover. Unpaginated fourteen unnumbered leaves. Oblong 12mo. measuring 12 x 18 cm. Original quarter maroon leather over gorgeous polished bevelled olive-wood boards bearing "Jerusalem" in black atop a deeply carved Jerusalem cross to the front board; like carving to the rear boards with Jerusalem printed in Hebrew characters to the centre; marbled edges and ivory silk-moire endpapers. Comprises of eleven beautifully arranged dried flower specimens mounted on stiff leaves most excepting two accompanied with their original remarkably well-preserved tissue-guards and individually captioned with their respective geographic origins e.g.: "Flowers from Mount Zion" "Flowers from the Mount of Olives" etc. Lightest wear to the leather spine else no other flaws noted to the extremities. Faint toning to the title page otherwise contents remain near-uniformly without blemish and with firm sound binding. A most lovely and unique period offering from the Holy Land. Rare to be offered in commerce in this edition and state. This edition unrecorded in WorldCat however nominally corresponds to OCLC #753636624 with notable differences in pagination and the number of specimens. See also OCLC #698494522. Rare indeed. <br/><br/>¶ Title leaf cites Biblical verse Matt. VI 28 29 30 which reads in part: "28 Why are you anxious about clothes Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. 29 But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. 30 If God so clothes the grass of the field which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow will he not much more provide for you O you of little faith" Although no author nor compiler is given within the present offering corresponds to other similar such works attributed to German missionary and cabinet-maker Ferdinand Vester see references above who had moved to Jerusalem in 1853 to join the Swiss-German Mission. Accordingly the present work may have been the result of his collaboration with the efforts of the London Jews' Society's' "House of Industry" an Anglican missionary society located at Christ Church Jerusalem which offered vocational training to Jewish boys in various trades such as carpentry turnery shoemaking etc. The products produced by these boys would in-turn be sold to other missionaries or as religious souvenirs to passing tourists or those migrating to the West. Vester's son Frederick would carry on his father's business later marrying Bertha Spafford herself the daughter of the founder of the American Colony in Jerusalem Horatio Gates Spafford and his Norwegian wife Anne Tobine Larsen Øglende.

[Foyles Literary Luncheon for Sir Angus Wilson, 1980] 'Dolly' [Mrs A G Dowdeswell, Secretary, The Johnson Society of London] [Ph
Foyles Literary Luncheon for Sir Angus Wilson 1980. Autograph Letter Signed from ‘Dolly’ Mrs A. G. Dowdeswell to ‘Philip’ Philip Dosse of ‘Books and Bookmen’ with reference to Wilson Melvyn Bragg Simon Young of John Murray Ian Jack.
27 August 1980; on letterhead of 26 High Street Biddenden Kent. See the entries for Angus Wilson and Christina Foyle in the Oxford DNB. ‘Dolly’ is clearly the ‘Mrs. A. G. Dowdeswell’ who was secretary of the Johnson Society of London in the 70s and 80s arranging luncheons and named as a member of the Johnson Society at least as late as 1992. The recipient Philip Dosse was proprietor of Hansom Books publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Books and Bookmen and Plays and Players. See ‘Death of a Bookman’ by the novelist Sally Emerson editor of ‘Books and Bookmen’ at the time of Dosse’s suicide in Standpoint magazine October 2018. The present item is 2pp 4to. Forty-seven lines of text. In good condition lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Possibly related the pair were at least on a level of intimacy. Addressed to ‘My dear Philip’ and signed ‘With love / Dolly.’ She reminds him that she ‘sat next to Simon Young of John Murray at the b & b Dorchester luncheon’ for the twenty-fifth anniversary of ‘Books and Bookmen’ and that ‘he indicated that he was desirous of doing some more reviewing’. She lists five of his interests adding ‘a little nebulous but he is apparently quite a bod at John Murray 493 4361 and has been masterminding series on flying and sailing there for many years. I went round the drawing rooms and saw the Byron relics in Albemarle Street last week. He is very pleasant.’ She was present at ‘the next Literary Luncheon for Sir Angus Wilson last week. It was a success and Angus was in good form and pleased with both honours. After luncheon a better one he suddenly dashed round the end of the top table and made a dive for me. He had an animated conversation for quite a few minutes while Melvyn Bragg was waiting to kick off. He didn’t dive for anyone else and my table 8 were over-awed so I was told. My husband and I have known him for thirty years or so. We never pushed our knowledge of him but he has always called himself a friend and on many occasions has made a point of deliberately seeking us out. I must tell you that the room was not half so full as for your 25th anniversary. I think his new novel not his best.’ She has been in London for five days and names an eye surgeon she wished to consult ‘but six weeks must elapse before he can see me so I shall try to fix it for the time of my Lichfield visit’. She is glad Dosse has got Ian Jack to review ‘Dictionary Johnson’. ‘I wonder if you have had a copy of Johnson’s Dictionary a £45 facsimile from Times Books Ltd I am also pleased that Lady Huntingdon will do C. H. Rolph’s “London Particulars†and Nigel Nicolson is in good form.’ 27 August 1980; on letterhead of 26 High Street, Biddenden, Kent. unknown

London. May and June 1888. 4pp. foolscap 8vo. Bifolium. In fair condition on aged paper. First page headed: 'The Edgware Road Fire The proprietor of "The Daily Telegraph" have as hitherto on similar occasions opened a Subscription list for the Sufferers and it is estimated that £3000 will be required to meeet the urgent claims for relief which are already too well known I shall be glad to receive any donations you may be pleased to give on their behalf JNER.'. Arranged in eight columns two to a page with running totals and a grand total of £16 1s 0d. The first donation is for 10s 6d from 'Mr. Kynock' and the last for 1s from Mr Catliffe'. Accompanying the list are two newspaper cuttings laid down on one side of a piece of 12mo paper with manuscript heading The Edgware Rd. Fire Fund'. The first cutting records the donation of £20 by 'Fredk. Gorring Buckingham Palace-road' and of £16 1s 0d by 'Employés of Fredk. Gorringe'; the second cutting reproduces a letter from Gorringe reading: 'TO THE EDITOR OF "THE DAILY TELEGRAPH." SIR - I have pleasure in sending a cheque for £20 towards the fund being raised for the assistants who are sufferers by the Edgware-road fire; also one for £16 1s from my employés. - Yours faithfully FREDK. GORRINGE. Buckingham Palace-road June 5.' The fire had occurred on 30 May 1888 with The Times devoting the following day's editorial to it beginning: 'London has been visited by many greater and more destructive fires but by few more tragic and pathetic in their circumstances than that which occurred in the Edgware-road shortly after six o'clock yesterday morning. The large drapery establishment of Messrs. GARROULD occupying the angle formed by the Edgware-road and Queen-street was suddenly attacked by fire and five of the young assistants who slept in the upper floors were burnt to death or suffocated while five more were seriously scorched or injured by jumping from the windows.' The Times drew parallels with another fire eight months before at the Exeter Theatre and concluded that it had 'once more taught Londoners the lesson that they cannot have efficient protection from fire without paying for it'.

[Hyde Park: Rotten Row in the reign of King George IV] J King of Cadogan Place, Belgravia, London [Lord Sydney; Lord Northumberl
Hyde Park: Rotten Row in the reign of George IV. Autograph Letter Signed by J. King complaining at length about ‘Patricians’ whose horses trample the grass of the ‘People’s Park’ leaving the place ‘like a Sandy Desert the Verdure all destroyed’.
‘Cadogan Place. May. 31. 1824’. A nice piece of London ephemera the subject being Rotten Row which runs along the south side of Hyde Park. 2pp 4to. On wove paper with watermark ‘J WILMOT / 1823’. Forty-one lines of text. Having been torn in two vertically presumably by the irate recipient the item has been repaired in an unusual way: with the two pieces sewn back together from top to bottom. Otherwise in fair condition lightly aged and creased with slight loss to one edge from breaking of seal or wafer. Folded for postage. No information is forthcoming about the author of the letter but from the contents he is clearly not a Tory. The matter is one about which he clearly feels strongly and the tone is verging on the obsessive. He begins: ‘Sir / May I without offence be allowed to ask you a Question - for whom is the Expence for the repair of that matchless Ride from Hyde Park. Corner. to Kensington being incurred It cannot be for the Gentlemen who usually ride in the Park for they are now allowed to ride on both sides of the Road on the Grass - most carefully avoiding this Repaired Ride - Now after the handsome Grant that has been made to His Majesty for the Repair of his Castle and Parks certainly some one ought to look after the People’s Parks and a few hundred should be expended in beautifying and improving them. At this Moment the footpath parallel to this Ride is covered with Weeds and Grass the Bank of the Serpentine trodden in by Cows and is in a most filthy state’. He complains that the public money spent on the parks ‘is mostly to pay the Rangers their deputies &c. not for the Improvement of the Place which by a little attention might challenge any Public Row in Europe’. He continues with reference to: ‘Keeping the Horsemen to theh Horseroad’ and ‘Ld. Sydney’ and complains of ‘the Many Right Honbles. . committing this trespass for the next 2 Months for Trespass it certainly is these Patricians have no more right to trample the Grass for 2 mo. than for the public in general have for the other 10 - Lord Northumberland is the person the Public understand to whom they are most indebted for this unkindness but it certainly neither shews taste nor feeling in his Lordship that because his horse may have a soft place for his feet the Dear little Children with their attendants are to be expelled from this favorite Spot during the most pleasant time in the Year’. After the two months ‘his Lordship and his Companions’ will retire leaving the place ‘like a Sandy Desert the Verdure all destroyed’: they are ‘permitted to deface the People’s Park and they go to their ow where a Sheep is scarcely permitted to crop their pleasure grounds’. He suggests the erection of ‘a rail running on both sides of the Road from H. P. C. to Kensington so as to exclude the Horsemen from trampling the grass’. He concludes: ‘I live in the Vicinity and I can safely say that the footpaths have not been cleaned or in any way attended to for years’. ‘Cadogan Place. May. 31. 1824’. unknown
