‎James Glaisher (1809-1903), English aeronaut and meteorologist who made balloon ascents with Henry Tracey Coxwell (1819-1900) [S‎

‎James Glaisher aeronaut and meteorologist. Two Unsigned Autograph Drafts: the first of Letter to ‘Mrs Wallis’ on ‘English legislation against Sunday trading’; the second with reference to the Fabian Society.‎

‎Draft of letter to 'Mrs Wallis': 18 May 1900. 50 Great Russell Street W.C. London offices of the Photographic Society of Great Britain. Other draft Fabian Society without date or place. See Glaisher’s entry in the Oxford DNB. The story of Glaisher’s balloon flights is travestied in the 2019 film ‘The Aeronaut’ with his co-pilot Henry Tracey Coxwell being replaced by the fictional female character ‘Amelia Wren’. The object of the ascents made on behalf of the British Association between 1862 and 1866 was to carry out scientific observations in such matters as the variation in temperature and humidity of the atmosphere at high elevations. On 5 September 1862 the coal-gas-filled balloonof Glaisher and Coxwell broke the world flight altitude record reaching 30000 to 36000 ft 9000 to 11000 m. The present items are unsigned autograph drafts from Glaisher’s papers both with deletions and emendations. ONE: Unsigned Autograph Draft of letter to ‘Mrs. Wallis’ from the offices of the Photographic Society of Great Britain of which Glaisher was President dated 18 May 1900. 4pp 12mo. On bifolium. In very good condition lightly aged. In answer to her letter he begins with a review of ‘English legislation against Sunday trading’ beginning with a reference to a statute of 1443. A bill being put before Parliament has ‘no chance of passing and will probably be withdrawn’ and ‘of course is a renewed attempt to introduce Sunday labor - which should be opposed tooth and nail’. TWO: Part of Unsigned Autograph Draft to unnamed recipient and without date or place. An intriguing fragment beginning: ‘So much for me. / Now for yourself. I am disappointed. You started out so splendidly. I want you to grow; to take the position which you ought if we are to get the best out of you.’ He urges the recipient to ‘get help: don’t rely on yourself quite so much’. Later he writes: ‘The Fabian Society has “principles†or it couldn’t hold together. You have “principles†- It is only a matter of expression’. Draft of letter to 'Mrs Wallis': 18 May 1900. 50 Great Russell Street, W.C. [London offices of the Photographic Society of Great unknown‎

Mitan's only aim in the matter is 'the mutual accomodation of both' and it will be 'equally agreeable' to Mitan if Balmanno deals with Heath himself. 63 Warren Street, Fitzroy Place. 2 December 1814. unknown‎
