Paris, Baudry's European Library, 1843. Edition published the same year as the first one at Henry Colburn. Former library book. Octavo, 139 x 214 mm (5.5 x 8.4 in), 362 pp. Bound in half-black percaline with marbled papers.

"In the bustling streets of New York City, the Barnaby family embarks on an extraordinary adventure. Led by the eccentric Mr. Barnaby, his sharp-tongued wife, and their four lively children, they navigate the unfamiliar customs and social landscapes of a rapidly changing America. As they encounter a cast of colorful characters, from ambitious politicians to flamboyant socialites, the Barnabys' observations and misadventures provide a witty and incisive commentary on the burgeoning nation. Their journey unfolds through a series of hilarious and poignant encounters, revealing the complexities of a society on the cusp of greatness." (Gallimard) First single-volume edition of this novel written by the mother of Anthony Trollope, one of the main Victorian writers. An unusual find. ********************************************* Paris, Baudry, 1843. En anglais. Édition parue la même année que l'originale. Ancien livre de bibliothèque.

Barnaby, sa femme à la langue bien pendue et leurs quatre enfants évoluent parmi les coutumes et les paysages sociaux encore méconnus d'une Amérique en pleine mutation. À mesure qu'ils rencontrent des personnages hauts en couleur, de politiciens ambitieux à des mondains extravagants, leurs observations et mésaventures offrent un commentaire percutant et plein d'esprit sur des États-Unis en plein essor. Leur voyage se déroule à travers une série de rencontres hilarantes et poignantes qui montrent les complexités d'une société en route vers la grandeur." Première édition en un seul volume de ce roman écrit par la mère d'Anthony Trollope, l'un des écrivains les plus connus de l'ère victorienne. Peu courant.

Francis Gerard [Francis Edward Marie Gerard] (1906-1966), English thriller and science fiction writer who settled in South Afric
Francis Gerard thriller and science fiction writer. Two Typed Letters Signed to Eileen Cond discussing his plans for writing and work for the ‘delightful old boy’ Sir Ernest Oppenheimer and his Anglo American Corporation of South Africa.
12 March 1950; ‘P.O. Box 143 Westville Natal South Africa.’ 19 August 1955; Caroline Cottage 1st Avenue Inanda Johannesburg. Good letters the second with biographical content about a prolific yet elusive author. The recipient Eileen Margaret Cond 1911-1984 was an enthusiastic collector of autographs with the ability to draw a more than perfunctory response from her targets. Both letters in good condition on lightly aged paper folded for postage. Each bearing large stylized signature ‘Francis Gerard’ and addressed to ‘Dear Miss Cond’. ONE 12 March 1950. 1p 4to. He reports that he is ‘busy on a new thriller which I have given the provisional title of HORNED HAVEN’ the title does not show up among Gerard’s published works. ‘The General Election in England was followed by us out here with an almost unbearable feeling of tension and for my part I realised that though I am now officially a citizen of this country that I will never make a good South African.’ He reports ‘a tremendous flap about the Seretse Khama business which seems to have been handled just about as stupidly as it could have been’. He is returning her bookplates ‘with Gérard his mark upon them though I still don’t know when you’ll be able to stick the second one into TRANSPARENT TRAITOR. I gather the whole printing and publishing trade is in a parlous condition in England thanks to machinery being worn out and not replaced owing to Cripps’ insistence on all such new tackle being for export only.’ He ends with a warning regarding ‘the temperature in Durban’ for her father. TWO: 2pp foolscap 8vo. A long letter. He has been ‘wandering around Central Africa with a bunch of geologists and mining engineers’ and finding her letter is ‘touched by the continuance of your long-range friendship’. There is ‘little chance’ of his producing another book for some time. ‘When I do it will be a very different kind of book from what I have written in the past.’ The next two paragraphs describe his employment with the Anglo American Corporation of South Africa. ‘My job is a peculiar one half industrial relations and man management half public relations. The AAC is the biggest mining group in the world. It is also an enormously powerful finance house. At the head of it sits Sir Ernest Oppenheimer who despite his fantastic wealth is a most charming and delightful old boy.’ He describes how in his first year with AAC he ‘travelled nearly 30000 miles about Southern and Central Africa by aircraft car jeep horse or on my own flat feet. I went underground in diamonds gold coal copper and base metals. I stayed in palatial guest-houses or at lonely Jesuit missions in the bush. I went through malaria tsetse-fly country where you shot for the pot and kept a wary eye open for crocodile leopard or buffalo and once was fortunate to have my pygmy friends drive a gorilla for me. You do not shoot these. They are Royal Game and if you kill one it costs you a £600 fine.’ He continues for a while before describing his family. A paragraph follows in which he claims not to have ‘sold myself to Mammon’. He praises the ‘Ernest Oppenheimer hospital for Africans at Welkom’ as ‘the finest thing of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere’. He winds up with a paragraph on his ‘financial benefits’ and another on his children’s school results the former beginning ‘Well there it is. This is why Francis Gerard has not appeared on the back of a book for some time.’ 12 March 1950; ‘P.O. Box 143, Westville, Natal [South Africa].’ 19 August 1955; Caroline Cottage, 1st Avenue, Inanda, Johann unknown

The workmen are 'off to Brixton Hlll' 'You won't find a finer surface In the whole of London Town.' and 'must leave your road by Friday 'Cause they're taking up the drains.' They have found the neighbourhood 'charming' 'the local “pubs†are good'. The errand boys have watched their work without paying Entertainment Tax. Concludes: 'We've rattled all your windows And the knick-knacks on your shelves; And we've played hell with the traffic - Oh! we have enjoyed ourselves. But all good things come to an end And so good-bye we'll say Although it's really "au revoir" - WE'RE COMING BACK IN MAY!' At the end of the poem Eyton has written in manuscript: 'With every good wish for Christmas and the New Year to all at "135" from Frank Eyton 24.12.37. The above words may be sung if desired to the tune of "The Wearing of the Green" F.E.' TWO: Typed Letter Signed. 20 September 1937. He has not seen or spoken to Finck for some time but the previous day 'went over a lot of old ground and had many a laugh with Stanley Logan' English actor writer and director 1885-1953. The next paragraph concerns 'Basil' who has 'disappeared from sight' since sending a card from the Savage Club. On their last meeting 'I told him I was more or less on my way to Hollywood. He said that he would come through here on his way to Seattle but then of course you know Basil. He would like a copy of Finck's 'recent book' and is 'inclosing with this my draft for a quid'. He would like one of Finck's 'very welcome letters' to let him know 'what is going on in the old village. It is seven years since I was home and I confess that I am getting a bit homesick for a visit to Hedge's and Butler's or any other of the equally inviting spots'. His wife Helen is still in Great Neck with 'the kids' who are 'definitely past the pom-pom hat stage'. From the Herman Finck papers.

Frank Marcham (c1887-1944), English bookseller [Robert Harding Evans (1778-1857), auctioneer and bookseller]: c 1
Frank Marcham. Two typewritten drafts of an annotated list of nearly 500 'Auction Sales made by Robert Harding Evans'; with autograph notes on Evans and on his own collection with typescript titled 'Literary History and local topography'.
Place and date not stated. London. Begun in the 1920s. Robert Harding Evans has been described as 'the greatest of all auctioneers of literary property'. In a career spanning three decades he oversaw the dispersal of many of the finest libraries ever assembled from the great Roxburghe sale of 1812 to that of the Duke of Sussex in 1845 as well as those of the books of Lord Byron and the manuscripts and copyrights of Sir Walter Scott. In an undated letter to Bodley's Librarian copy in Item Four below Marcham states that he is 'working on Evans the auctioneer and the list will be published. The British Museum possess nearly all of the auctioneers' own set and I will put the references in. I would like also to make it a check list of the Bodleian'. That work was not published but the annotated typescripts of it that are Items One and Two below do constitute a valuable supplement to M. V. de Chantilly's 'provisional list' of Evans's catalogues 2002. The seven items in the present collection are all in fair condition on aged and worn paper. ONE and TWO: Two copies of the typescript of Marcham's 'A COMPLETE LIST in chronological order of AUCTION SALES made by ROBERT HARDING EVANS'. Both 188pp. foolscap 8vo paginated 1-185 unpaginated 31 and double paginations of 41 and 66. Both copies on loose leaves in white folders. One copy with variants of pp.26 37 and 79 and the other with two variant copies of p.4 one page adding the 1813 Byron catalogue and one extra copy of p.186. Both with numerous and largely different annotations in pencil and ink. Marcham lists 461 amended in one catalogue to 460 catalogues between 1812 the Roxburghe sale and 1844 Richard Roberts DD of St Paul's School. At the end of one of the copies is a continuation 5p. 4to of the typescript adding eleven more catalogues which bring the list up to 471 the Upcott sale. In addition to the title date and number of pages Marcham provides biographical information regarding the consignor including quotations from wills and other sources and notes on the background of sales as well as giving details and shelfmarks of copies in various libraries. He also provides comments on various catalogues and transcriptions of manuscript notes from Evans's own set of the catalogues now in the British Library which as Marcham explains in the note above forms the backbone of his work. Marcham's researches were unknown to M. V. de Chantilly and they supplement the information given by him. A typical note on the three known copies of the 1813 Byron catalogue reads 'One sold by Elkin Mathews Ld of Conduit Street W now Grosvenor St. to a collector in the United States another in their own possession and the third in private hands. See reproduction of title page. J. M. is John Murray.' A photograph reproducing the title page of the Byron catalogue with the note by Murray is present and there are occasional notes on various pieces of paper loosely inserted. THREE: Miscellaneous papers including autograph notes 10pp. 4to towards an essay on Robert Harding Evans written on the backs of envelopes mostly in pencil. With emendations. These notes begin: 'In dealing with book collecting it is usual to speak in terms of currency yet nothing is more misleading.' Marcham proceeds to discuss the 'eighteenth century collectors' before turning to his subject: 'Book-collecting ceased to be a "fashion" just about the time of Evans' commencement as an auctioneer. It was upon the aftermath that his prosperity depended. He sold many famous collections but he did not help to make others. No doubt he was a great auctioneer and a worthy follower of Samuel Paterson which may be the result of happy influence upon impressionable matter. When necessary his cataloguing was excellent for its purpose and taking the whole of his work I hardly think it has been equalled.' The piece includes the following interesting comment: 'There are men in England possessed of more money than Huntington and there are more in the United States and men interested in book collecting. Mr Huntington was a collector that is all. Men who are at the mercy of their butler and housekeeper & chauffeur take pride that they are not at the mercy of book dealers. Certain people collect wisely they are great men in commercial life and training stands them in good stead. Currency is not of the value now that it was twenty years ago or a hundred but even so the relative price of books of certain kinds has always increased.' He expounds on the economics of bookselling comparing 'the book market in the United States to day with that of England'. Returning to Evans he discusses the incidence of 'fine paper editions' of his catalogues and transcribes a passage about the auctioneer from Roberts's 'Book Hunter in London'. Together with this batch of notes is an autograph copy 2pp. 12mo of a letter by Marcham to Bodley's Librarian asking him to 'fill in your references to Bodley's holdings of Evans catalogues under those I give for the British Museum' and a typescript 1p. foolscap 8vo of a biographical piece on William Upcott. The final item in this bundle is a printed British Museum Reading Room 'ticket of application' filled in by Marcham in 1928 ordering 'Evans MS List'. FOUR and FIVE: Two copies of a typescript titled 'Literary History and local topography and their sources. By Frank Marcham'. 6pp. 8vo. With minor autograph corrections. Apparently unpublished. The theme is stated at the outset: 'There is an intimate relation between these matters that has been very much neglected. A general knowledge of the Dictionary of National Biography will give some idea of the divorce that exists between real knowledge of sources and practical use of such and actual performance. This is a defect of education in England. There is no University that can produce students qualified in the matter of knowing the original sources of local history which means that no graduate can grasp what he knows nothing about.' SIX: Page of typescript describing 'the nineteenth century slump' in the British booktrade. 1p. 8vo. Part of a longer piece. Begins: 'Thomas Thorpe who had been a great dealer and buyer and assigned his stock to pay his debts in 1826 and it was sold in several auctions. Then followed the Drury Dent Parr Renouard Earl of Guildford Hibbert Ord Rennie Sir Walter Scott manuscripts Thorpe bought two Hanrott the insolvent solicitor Haslewood who had a faked Robinson Crusoe now in the British Museum Leman and Caley sales.' Ends: 'One effect of the nineteenth century slump was that the dealers degenerated and degenerate dealers get results they deserve. Not one dealer or two could lift the business to dignity. From what we learn of the rare book dealers of the nineteenth century they must have been as brutal and .'. SEVEN: Typed transcript of an index of 'Book Sales by R. H. Evans 1812-1845' with introduction by F. Norgate from 'The Library Vol III. 1891 p. 324'. 16pp. 4to. Heavily annotated in pencil by Marcham. Place and date not stated. [London. Begun in the 1920s?] unknown

Two of the letters are in their original envelopes. They total 5pp. 12mo. On 22 August 1947 he writes regarding his collection of playscripts mostly acquired from the son of the comedian Arthur Williams and now at the Templeman Library University of Kent: 'We are on holiday here in Broadstairs since "Fifty-Fifty" finished . When I get back next month I would like to sort the old M.S. 26 feet high of which we spoke so if you are still desirous of assembling the plays to match your assignment book from Arthur Williams I will be glad to help'. The letter of 13 August 1954 finds Pettingell doing a some book business himself: 'I am expecting to return soon to do a television show . I must very certainly pull my "Eras" - Sketches - and other items out for disposal - and have to make out a list of items to get out and submit eventually to Alec Clunes !! and another prospective purchaser.' He asks for the return of 'the 4 vols of "Era" I loaned you' as it is 'essential I should have these to include in the run I possess. I am charging 2 : 10 : 0 per volume for these and 5/- to 7/6 for the Sketch. This I fear will be too dear for you to contemplate purchasing - please forgive the remark - . I will be busy with the television play at rehearsals and studying until transmission so will not be able to sort things until I'm through with this.' An undated letter and the unsigned note both concern Duncan's gift of a necklace with the note asking Duncan to bring it 'to stage door'. The nine undated Christmas cards are variously signed 'Frank' 'Frank and Family' 'The Pettingells' and 'Frank Ethel and the Family'. The carbon copies of Duncan's three letters to Pettingell each 1p. 4to date from between 1945 and 1954. The first discusses Gladys Colthorp as well as 'the Arthur Williams scripts': 'I do hope that when you have time to look them and any of the other items over that you will decide you can spare some of them if not all for me to purchase. For that matter if for sentimental reasons you really want to keep some of the scripts which you very well might I could tempt you in the matter with the offer of the Assignments of the ones you would like to keep couldn't I' And replying to Pettingell's letter of 13 August 1954: 'Twenty-six feet high eh What a job you're going to have with the MSS. I'd love to be able to do something in the matter of them and the assignment book .'. Previously on 4 August 1954 he writes regarding a legal action against Clunes: 'I had so much trouble on top of me just at the time that I lost that case that Clunes brought against me - the man I got to take the shop over instead turned out to be a dreadful person too and I can't get rid of him! . C. at the moment is threatening to put the bailiffs in or make me bankrupt! for the £50 and costs of £39 my own were £27 or so. Did you hear that he was in Minorca or somewhere like that before the case and he flew here and back for it at a cost of over £70 to try to get £50! If I had emphhasized that "feeding the cats" was automatically included in "looking after them" the Judge would have decided in my favour! .' Two from Highfield Lodge, Wise Lane, NW7 [ London ], and two from Broadstairs, Kent. Dated items from between 1946 and 1954. unknown
