JAMES, GPR (1799-1860) G P R
Autograph Letter Signed
This popular extraordinarily prolific British writer penned nearly one hundred novels such as "Richelieu" 1829 "The Gypsy" 1835 as well as plays poetry and historical writings such as "The Life and Times of Louis XIV" 1838 exceeding the voluminous output of his mentor Sir Walter Scott; later he turned to diplomacy serving as a British consul in America and vice-consul at Venice. ALS 2pp inlaid 4¼" X 6 3/4" Norfolk VA 1853 May 5. Addressed to M.M. Ballou at Gleason Pictorial in Boston 1820-95 Boston publisher novelist travel writer first editor of Boston Daily Globe. Near fine. "Please excuse my seeming negligence in not having sooner answered your note. When it arrived I was absent from home wandering about for a few days and the letter was mislaid It is thus only today that I have seen it and I hasten to apologize for acknowledging it at an earlier period thinking that in the mean time you have not thought very hardly of Your faithful Servant." Boldly attractively penned in brown ink. So profuse is James's apology though that he fails to mention the object of Ballou's note! Amusingly the very next year Ballou's illustrated pictorial founded 1851 passed along this unflattering tidbit from a London magazine: "The American papers report the particulars of a fire in the house of Mr. G.P.R. James whereby one storey was consumed. What a pity it didn't burn many more! unknown

HAMMOND, C Herrick (1882-1969)
Typed Letter Signed
This American supervised numerous memorable structures as Illinois state architect; he designed many Art Deco and Arts & Crafts style buildings in Chicago and in 1933 joined forces with the Burnham Brothers to create Burnham and Hammond. TLS 1p 7¼" X 9½" Washington DC 1929 August 1. Addressed to Waldemer Kaempffert at the Rosenwald Industrial Museum of Chicago 1877-1956 long-time "New York Times" science editor and director of Chicago's Rosenwald Museum which became the renowned Museum of Science and Industry. Very good. Small staple hole at upper left; large grease-pencilled recipient's docket at upper right. On "The American Institute of Architects" letterhead which lists Hammond as president Hammond notes "I wish to assure you that the members of the Institute will be glad to cooperate in any way possible to make the Industrial Museum a success. No doubt the local architects here can be of assistance and I shall be glad to arrange a meeting with you and some of the leaders of the profession if that is your desire." Interesting: Some sources state that the name of Kaempffert's museum was changed to what it's known as today the Museum of Science and Industry in 1928 but here in 1929 apparently Kaempffert is still using the original name. At this time he was also casting about for a museum building so perhaps was approaching Hammond for assistance. It wasn't until the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition that it opened in the 1893 Columbian Exposition "Palace of Fine Arts" building. Bold handsome full signature. Accompanied by a second letter a TLS from Hammond's executive secretary EDWARD C. KEMPER executive director 1914-48 1p 8½" X 11" Washington DC 1929 July 29. Addressed to Waldemar Kaempffert. Very good. Staple hole at upper left. On "The American Institute of Architects" letterhead Kemper thanks Kaempffert for literature on his museum and notes he will forward same to Hammond. "Mr. Hammond has given liberally of his time for many years to public service and to Chicago civic affairs. we felt that the subject of your letter should receive his personal attention." Quite interesting pair. unknown

Charles E Shepherd of J Pearson & Co [John Pearson], Rare Books and Autographs, 5 Pall Mall Place, London] [Reed; Riviere]:
J. Pearson & Co. Pall Mall booksellers. Autograph Letter Signed to 'Mr. Reed' regarding autograph letters by Sir Philip Sidney and 'his very famous sister' asbestos cases by the binders Riviere and a 'Breeches' bible.
On letterhead of J. Pearson & Co. Rare Books and Autographs 5 Pall Mall Place London. 'Telegraph & Cable Address Parabola London.' 20 May 1903. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. Good on lightly-aged paper. In something of a hard sell he begins by stating that 'the "Sir Philip Sidney" letter of which I showed you a facsimile the other day . seems to me peculiarly suitable for your collection'. In support of the letter's 'exceptional rarity' he cites 'a letter of Thorpe's the expert of autographs of his day dated 1839 accompanying the autograph & giving its pedigree in which he says "I never saw a letter of Sidney's for sale except the present"' adding that 'no other autograph of his has occurred since'. With the letter is one of 'his very famous sister' Mary 'and also a very fine document signed by his father Sir Henry Sidney whose autograph I have not before seen'. He considers it 'most desirable' to keep the three items together 'and bind them with their portraits into a volume which I venture to say would be not only unique but of almost unequalled interest'. Our catalogue price of the collection is £350 and compared with the Ben Jonson letter sold at Sotheby's the other day for £320 it must be cheap'. He harps on about scarcity and prices adding 'The price I mention is what they are marked for catalogue The best I could do for you is £300'. He offers to post the items 'or could you come in either tomorrow or Friday before 1 oclock'. In a postscript signed 'CES' he states that the binders Riviere's consider 'the cases on the Bunyans . fireproof being lined with asbestos. An American Agent who tells us he has seen them tested is having all his valuable books put into cases.' If Reed does visit the firm's premises Shepherd can show him 'a beautiful perfect copy of the first "Breeces" Bible printed in England in 1876. There was no copy in the "Caxton" Bible Exhibition 1877 and Lowndes could never have seen a perfect copy as his collation is wrong.' On letterhead of J.
