‎John Foster Fraser Autograph Letter Signed 'John Foster Fraser' from the English travel writer Sir John Foster Fraser to H. W. Massingham of the Daily Chronicle describing his career and qualifications while applying for journalistic work.‎

‎3 January 1896; The Author's Club 3 Whitehall Court SW London. 12mo 4 pp. 61 lines. Text clear and complete. Good on lightly-aged paper. An impressive letter applying for work. He does not expect Massingham addressed as 'W. H. Massingham' to remember their meeting 'in the Lobby' when he was 'chief reporter on The Sun' while at the same time holding 'a Parliamentary engagement on the staff of the C. N.' Gives details of his subsequent employment including joining the editorial staff of the 'Manchester Guardian' 'principally to look after their weekly paper which was in a sad way. I prolonged its existence rather than gave fresh life to it & in May last it died.' For the last four months he has been 'in Asia Minor & Syria seeing something of the disturbed country - an interview of mine with Sir Phillip Currie is to appear in the English Illustrated - & getting material which I hope may be useful to me'. He is 'now back in London extremely anxious to get back in the Press Gallery'. A 'descriptive writer' is more than he can hope for and he would like to 'secure a sessional engagement on the reporting staff of the Daily Chronicle'. He is a 'verbatim note taker' and 'a good summary writer' and is 'well acquainted with Parliamentary work'. Names six individuals 'who know what sort of journalist I am' including Clement Shorter and T. P. O'Connor. As 'a young man & a Radical' he would 'prefer the Daily Chronicle especially as it is also a literary paper'. Being 'a magazine writer' does not prevent him from 'being a reporter'. He is 'no novice to Parliamentary reporting for it is only eighteen months since I left it'. 3 January 1896; The Author's Club, 3 Whitehall Court, SW, London. unknown‎

‎Sir Patrick Moore. Typescript with Autograph corrections of 13 scripts for South African radio series title 'Into Space' with version rewritten for publication and four Autograph Letters Signed and Autograph Card Signed to H. David Lloyd.‎

‎Moore's correspondence on his letterhead Farthings 39 West Street Selsey Sussex. Dated between 11 November 1972 and 5 February 1973. The talks undated but from shortly before this. Collection of eleven items. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. ONE: Typescripts of 13 radio talks. 65pp. 4to. On loose leaves. Titles: 1 'Our Earth in Space'; 2 'Dreams of other Worlds'; 3 'Rockets into Space'; 4 'Man-made Moons'; 5 'Man in Space'; 6 'Space Research and Ourselves'; 7 'Contact with the Moon'; 8 '"One small Step . . . ."'; 9 'Space Stations and Lunar Bases'; 10 'Mariners to Mars'; 11 'Into the Hot Regions'; 12 'The Grand Tour'; 13 'Flight to the Stars'.

With extensive autograph emendations. The second paragraph of three reads: 'The SABC English Service had invited me to make a short series of broadcasts. This was followed later by a second series; and after that it was suggested that I should present regular weekly broadcasts on astronomical topics. There have been many requests for copies of these talks and the present book has grown out of them. Obviously they have been modified and some of the essentially topical but now outdated references have been removed; but I hope they present a varied and perhaps historical account of events during 1972 a momentous year in astronomical progress.' FOUR to EIGHT: Five Typed Letters Signed all 'Patrick' from Moore to 'Dear David' - H. David Lloyd of the South African Boradcasting Corporation Johannesburg. Totalling six pages. The correspondence concerns the preparation of the talks for publication. In the first letter 11 November 1972 he writes: 'I dropped everything and did my best. I have amended the articles to make them untopical . I have added a Foreword and I have managed to scrape up a picture for each talk.' On 27 November 1972 he writes that he is 'off to America on Monday for Apollo 17 but have arranged two sessions at the BBC this week before I go. I will therefore be well ahead. Wish I could do one direct from Cape kennedy; but it's too risky'. A letter of 15 January 1973 largely devoted to the 'mystery' of tapes of talks despatched by the BBC which have not arrived in South Africa has as postscript: 'Forgive typing. I am used to a 1908 machine and the BBC one is modern!' On 23 January 1973 he asks if anything came of 'the book of the talks As you know I rushed it through before I went to America in December because I gathered it was needed before Christmas; but I haven't heard another thing!! I'd be most grateful if you'd let me know; and if you are NOT publishing them after all I'd be glad to have them back because someone else is very interested in doing them Reid's.' In the last letter 5 February 1973 he discusses the talks expresses relief at the arrival of the tapes and pleasure at the news about the book. He concludes: 'I do hope to see you again this year. I have the pleasantest possible memories of South Africa!' NINE: Autograph Card Signed 'P' by Moore. 11 November 1972. With his Farthings letterhead.

‎SIR WALTER SCOTT, (1771-1832).‎

‎[FIRST "WALTER SCOTT" IN THE OTTOMAN LITERATURE] Mis Lusi yahud Lammermoor nisanlisi. Translated by Hamid. [= The bride of Lammermoor].‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary cloth bdg. Foolscap 8vo. (19 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script. 152 p. The Bride of Lammermoor is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott, published in 1819, one of the Waverley novels. The novel is set in the Lammermuir Hills of south-east Scotland, shortly before the Act of Union of 1707 (in the first edition), or shortly after the Act (in the 'Magnum' edition of 1830). It tells of a tragic love affair between young Lucy Ashton and her family's enemy Edgar Ravenswood. Scott indicated the plot was based on an actual incident. The Bride of Lammermoor and A Legend of Montrose were published together anonymously as the third of Scott's Tales of My Landlord series. The story is the basis for Donizetti's 1835 opera Lucia di Lammermoor. Salvadore Cammarano wrote the Italian-language libretto loosely based upon Sir Walter Scott's 1819 historical novel The Bride of Lammermoor by Gaetano Donizetti, (1797-1848). 54 years after the first edition in 1819 was published, and 38 years after the composition of Donizetti's opera, the Ottoman Turkish edition was published firstly in 1873, translated by Hamid. Zartanyan Publishing House was founded in the late 19th century in the Ottoman Istanbul, in Beyoglu district, around Suultanhamami by Zartan Efendi. Kevork Zartanian, (?-1888), was an Armenian publisher who founded his publishing house named Zartanian Publishing House in 1870. In the 18 years that passed from the publication of this book to his death, he has published books in many fields. Since he was also a music publisher (most likely), he published Sir Walter Scott's "The Bride of Lammermoor" because it was transferred to an opera by Donizetti Pasha in the early 19th century. According to Özege, Scott's translations into the Turkish language were only three. Other titles are 'Miyarü'l-makal' (1873) and 'Salahaddin-i Eyyubî ve Arslan Yürekli Risar' (1912). The last one was published in Mihran Publishing House was one of the early publishing houses in the Ottoman Empire which was one of the Armenian publishing houses. Özege 13789.; TBTK 8991.
