‎Cholera; Charles Greville celebrated diarist and first-class cricketer. Autograph Signature 'C Greville' to part of letter.‎

‎No place. 28 November 1831. The Greville Memoirs caused an uproar on its publication in 1874. Queen Victoria described it as a 'dreadful and really scandalous book' which should be 'severely censored and discredited'. Disraeli characterised its author as 'the vainest being—I don't limit myself to man—that ever existed; and I don't forget Cicero and Lytton Bulwer … when he was not scandalous he was prolix and prosy—a clumsy wordy writer … a more verbose indefinite unwieldy affair without a happy expression never issued from the pen of a fagged subordinate of the daily press'. On both sides of a piece of paper cut from a letter. In good condition lightly aged. The verso reads: 'Sir Your Most Obedt Servant C Greville 28 Nov. 1831 A Report to be transmitted accordingly on Monday in every Week. -' The recto reads: '… requesting by desire of Viscoun<t> Palmerston that a Weekly Repo<rt> may be made out and transmi<tted> to that Department relative to the state of health in London with reference to Cholera Morb<us> I am to desire that you will …'. Note: "The first incidence of cholera in England occurred in Sunderland in October 1831 when a ship carrying sailors who had the disease docked at the port. The ship was allowed to dock because the port authorities objected to and therefore ignored instructions from the government to quarantine all ships coming from the Baltic states. From Sunderland the disease made its way northwards into Scotland and southwards toward London. Before it had run its course the disease had claimed some 52000 lives."

This setting has the title page with a small version of the royal arms; and on the verso a large, full page, engraved version; and the last line of D4v begins: as ever'. **Short contemporary Ms. note on title: 'This p'lament began Apr. 16, 1640 & was dissolved May 5 folowing.' Small 4to. 190 mm. Later blue boards binding; leather title strip lettered in gilt. Clean and attractive copy. Charles I (1600-1649), King of Great Britain and Ireland. In his early disputes, arguments, and battles with the Scots, tried a new tool. He resolved to call an English parliament, and to ask for means to enable him to make war effectually upon Scotland. The discovery of an attempt made by the Scottish leaders to open negotiations with the king of France led him to hope that the national English feeling would be touched. In the meanwhile the English privy councillors offered him a loan which would enable him at least to gather an army without parliamentary aid. The Short parliament of 1640 was opened by the King on 13 April with a few words indicative of the gravity of the situation, the task of more fully setting forth the royal wishes and intentions being devolved upon the Lord Keeper (Baron Finch). Under Pym's leadership the Parliament showed itself disposed to ask for redress of grievances as a condition of a grant of supply, and it subsequently refused to give money unless peace were made with the Scots. On 5 May Charles dissolved parliament by means of this Declaration. Getting money by irregular means, he proceeded to push on the war, and formed an Irish army to join the mutinous and un-warlike Royal army. Terrified and exasperated Englishmen, believed that this army would be used in England to crush their liberties. The Scots knew that the opinion in England was in their favour, and they had already entered into communication with the parliamentary leaders. On 20 Aug. they crossed the Tweed, defeated part of the royal army at Newburn on the 28th, and soon afterwards occupied Newcastle and Durham. Charles's money was by this time almost exhausted, and he was obliged to summon the English peers to meet him in a great council at York, as there was no time to get together a full parliament. The great council met on 24 Sept. It at once insisted on opening negotiations with the Scots, and sent some of its members to London to obtain a loan to support the army during the progress of the treaty. Charles had now agreed to summon another parliament, and the negotiations opened at Ripon were adjourned to London.
