Laurence Housman [The Street Library, The Crispin Hall; Somerset; English libraries]:
Laurence Housman; Disraeli Handbill headed 'Souvenir. Street Library Book Fund.' consisting of a monologue entitled 'Lord Beaconsfield speaks before the curtain'.
'Crispin Hall July 8th 1931.'. One one side of a piece of laid paper 26.5 x 21 cms. Aged and creased with chipping to extremities and staining on reverse from repair to one of two closed tears. Thirty-six lines with facsimile of Housman's signature at foot. An appeal for 'money for the Library - your Library'. Somewhat poignant considering the present neglected state of the British library service. '. The question is - do you want to give money to your Library . But for my own part I ask - why why Libraries What are they for What there do you read . Today your Librarian wants to buy for you a hundred of today's best books. That requires only Twenty Pounds. . keep your sixpences in your pockets for sixpence will no longer buy a book; and you are here to give books to your Library.' Concludes with an eight-line poem beginning 'A Library a kingdom is That crowns the common need. A double recompense is his Who gives that all may read.' As of 2004 the Laurence Housman Collection was housed in the Crispin Hall but with the Hall's future under threat due to lack of funding. 'Crispin Hall, July 8th, 1931.' unknown

Lawrence Hyde (b1894, fl 1954), English journalist and spiritual philosopher [Herbert George Wood; Quaker; Society of Friends;
Lawrence Hyde b.1894 fl. 1954 English journFour Autograph Letters Signed two in full and two as 'L. H.' to the biblical scholar and Quaker theologian Herbert George Wood 1879-1963 first Professor of Theology at the University of Birmingham.
Between 1930 and 1931; all four on letterhead Rosedean Cottage Shipley Sussex. All items very good on lightly aged paper. Four closely written and interesting communications on his writings and philosophy. LETTER ONE 16 June 1930 2 pages 12mo: On the question of 'that misunderstanding regarding our last visit' the rest of the month is 'booked up' but 'perhaps the postponement - I hope it is no more than that! - of our coming may not be a bad thing'. Since their last meeting he has been 'passing through a phase of extensive internal adjustment the physical aspect of which has taken the form of very bad health'. He has 'hardly written a line' and it is 'a time for me of extreme introversion and apathy and I am really not fit to appear in society!'. Although 'friend Halliday would probably be sceptical regarding the fact' 'it is one of the things to be expected on the rather curious path which I am following'. When he emerges hopes to 'dash off in fairly rapid succession' essays on humanism and religion. Is on friendly terms with Hugh Fausset Hugh l'Anson Fausset 1895-1965 English poet and religious writer 'whom I admire greatly and whose religious development is I think going to be remarkably interesting'. Asks how Wood and his colleagues 'got on with Rabindranath' Tagore 1861-1941 Indian poet: 'I gather that he was a bit of a nuisance!' LETTER TWO 28 October 1930 2 pages 12mo: Responding to an invitation from Wood he is looking forward to a visit to the Quaker educational settlement at Woodbrooke: 'I might have the delightful experience of posting off the MS and then stepping into the train for Woodbrooke for a badly needed rest'. Discusses possible itinerary. Referring to Wood himself hopes that he and his wife Lorna will 'see something of the Professor of Theology and the Philosophy of Religion at the Selly Oak College'. LETTER THREE 14 March 1931 three pages 12mo: Announces the publication of his 'Prospects of Humanism'. 'I shall of course be very interested to hear what impression it makes upon you.' Hopes Wood will review it. He is 'far from satisfied' with the book which 'bears the marks of having been written during a period of strain'. His thoughts 'have already turned to Op. III by which I shall stand or fall in the end'. Three paragraphs discuss the 'Kosman Church' on the subject of which Hyde can 'quite sympathise' with Wood's 'uneasiness': 'My aim . is to define the conditions which in my opinion will have to be complied with by a truly modern Religion'. Asks if Wood has seen Geoffrey Heard's 'Ascent of Humanity': 'in a large measure it expresses the same type of consciousness with which Fausset John Middleton Murry 1889-1957 and myself are so directly concerned in our different ways'. LETTER FOUR 2 April 1931 three pages 12mo: Is pleased with Wood's 'favourable verdict on the Prospects'. 'You are one of the few whose judgement I trust in these matters and your appreciation is one of the things that helps me to go on'. Is happy that Wood considers his book better than its predecessor and discusses the two books. Is glad that Wood feels that he has 'sounded the Quaker note': 'this brings us together'. Feels that the author of 'that extraordinarily hostile notice in the Times. Literary. Supplement. 'at least did me a service by taking two columns to dismiss me!' Enjoyed Hoyland's essay and asks how Wood's own book is progressing. He 'will not anticipate' the arguments in his 'Opus III': 'I am philosophically a resolute Occidental!' He refuses to 'entertain the idea that matter is evil' and believes 'firmly' in progress. Discusses some recent essays by Middleton Murry. Discusses the 'Nation' and 'Everyman' the editor of the latter having 'asked me to give him some of my new book in the form of articles'. Also included is a Typed Note Signed to Wood from Horace Fleming Honorary Warden on the letterhead of the Mary Ward Settlement 20 March 1931 sending Hyde's book. Between 1930 and 1931; all four on letterhead Rosedean Cottage, Shipley, Sussex. unknown
