F. J. H. Darton [Frederick Joseph Harvey Darton] (1878-1936), English publisher and writer [Grafton Street, London; Charles Fitz
Darton publisher Autograph Manuscript and two Typescripts of an article by the publisher F. J. H. Darton Frederick Joseph Harvey Darton entitled ''West One' on the foundation and history of Grafton Street in London.
London; 1920s. The three items are all in very good condition on lightly-aged paper with slight marking from rusty paperclips. Manuscript: 13pp. 4to. On 13 leaves paginated 1-13. With a few emendations and corrections. The two typescripts both well typed have different layouts to one another. First smaller Typescript: 9pp. 4to. Second larger Typescript: Carbon copy. 9pp. 4to. The article begins: '"The iniquity of oblivion blindly scattereth her poppy . . . In vain we compute our felicities by the advantage of our good names since bad have equal durations." Who was godfather to Grafton Street that short byway of London which from many associations is like to outlive by far any intimate knowledge of its builder It is a pretty irony that though there have been Dukes of Grafton not less eminent than amiable and the street is populous with both the shades and the living forms of men vitally connected with the arts the man who lives thus in bricks and mortar was called "Booby Grafton" and it was said that "as to books he was totally illiterate." And he certainly did not buy that patch of land just west of Bond Street in order to make it a mart of books and pictures and fine jewels. He bought it this second Duke of the title "for gardening" which the greatest book in the world records as man's oldest trade.' The article concludes: 'Perhaps books are the best way to come by a knowledge and love of London. And Grafton Street with its links Bond Street Dover Street Albemarle Street knows a great deal about Books.' The first typescript follows the manuscript in the use of the word 'like' in the first paragraph although amending this in pencil to 'likely'; in the second typescript which is more attractively laid out the word is given as 'likely' suggesting that it is of later production. While there is no record of the publication of this essay it is likely to have been published: Darton's voluminous literary output as his entry in the Oxford DNB indicates included contributions to the Daily News.

John Piper (1903-1992), English painter [Ambroise Vollard (1866-1939), art dealer and connoisseur; Paul Cezanne (1839-1906)]:
John Piper artist Autograph Memorandum by the artist John Piper describing how Vollard's biography of Cézanne inspired him when he read it as a teenager.
On letterhead of Fawley Bottom Farmhouse near Henley-on-Thames Oxfordshire. Undated. 1p. 12mo. In fair condition on aged and lightly-creased paper. Clearly responding to an enquiry regarding what books had had a formative influence on his life Piper writes: 'Vollard's Life of Cézanne because it showed me in my teens that an artist can be dedicated unbohemian unworldly against the tide and absolutely true to his instincts which happened to be right. The book - by a dealer too! - has the same characteristics.' Beneath this the name 'JOHN PIPER' is written in capitals in felt-tip pen but this does not appear to be Piper's signature and is in a diffferent hand to the memorandum which is certainly by Piper and appears to be unpublished. See Scan. On letterhead of Fawley Bottom Farmhouse near Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. Undated. unknown

On letterhead of the Privy Council Office. 19 September 1872. 6pp. 12mo. In very good condition adhering to leaves removed from an album. Helps begins: 'My dear Martin This is one of the things you excel in - the giving in a comparatively short memoir the real aim and end of a life: so that after reading your "In memoriam" one does not care to hear any more details.' Helps 'really cannot find any fault' in Martin's piece. 'Her. Majesty i.e. Queen Victoria must I think be exceedingly pleased with the book - I mean your work. Then the whole subject of the relation of Stockmar to the occupants of the English throne is most judiciously handled; and there is great skill shown in what is omitted to be said.' He gives 'One single criticism' before complaining that he is 'troubled with cattle plague affairs' and so cannot write at more length. Martin best-known work his biography of Prince Albert 1874-1880 would be similarly praised for its tact and skill see his entry in the Oxford DNB.

He has asked Van Wisselingh 'to send the bronzes as I have none here' and he is waiting for a reply: 'if the bronzes have not arrived please wire and you shall have them before Xmas.' Letter Two 25 December 1902: He hopes that his mistake in addressing her as 'Sir' has 'amused and not annoyed you'. He has just had a reply from Van Wisselingh: 'as the notice was so short I could not get new bronzes cast by Xmas; so I sent your letter at once to Mr. V. W.' Van Wisselingh has sent invoices which Wells did not ask him to do: 'I would rather you sent the cheque £10. 10 to me as you intended which I shall pass on to Mr. Van W'. He concludes: 'If you have thought me remiss I hope this lengthy epistle will explain.' Wells trained as a sculptor at the Royal College of Art but it is his ceramics that are now more highly regarded. Both from Trosley, West Malling, Kent. 22 and 25 December 1902. unknown

Corrected Autograph Manuscript and Typescript of a chapter of a book by F. J. H. Darton Frederick Joseph Harvey Darton titled 'The Microcosm of England' on the London publisher Rudolph Ackermann headed 'Aquatint collection draft'.
London 1920s. Both items in good condition on lightly-aged paper with slight rust spotting. Manuscript: 12pp 4to. On twelve leaves paginated 1-12. With emendations and corrections. Note at head of page: 'Dates & title meant to be typical only: subject to revision from collection catalogue etc & to fit later details of book.' Also at head of page in red pencil: 'Aquatint collection draft first chapter'. Manuscript: 9pp. 4to. On nine leaves attached with stud last leaf loose. The piece begins: 'The first book containing coloured aquatint illustrations published by the man who made such volumes popular is The Microcosm of London. It came from the Repository of Arts at 101 Strand: the bookseller-publishers of that day were fond of large-sounding titles for their domed libraries like the Temple of the Muses or the Juvenile Repository. No. 101 Strand was kept by a very enterprising Saxon Rudolph Ackermann who since his arrival in London in the 'nineties of the eighteenth century had been a skilled coach-designer the proprietor of a drawing school and a printseller.' While there is no indication of the book of which this was the intended first chapter nor any record of its publication it is likely to have been published in some form: Darton's literary output was voluminous as his entry in the Oxford DNB indicates.

Reads 'I've taken the liberty of leaving for your inspection a few specimens of my stile of engraving - your brother Mr. Moon in Threadneedle St Francis Graham Moon later Lord Mayor of London was so kind as to say he would recommend me to call as you were bringing out several works - I flatter myself so far as to say - my specimens have given such satisfaction - as to furnish me with several subjects for very superior work - - if you were to favour me with a subject for either of yours - you may depend on my giving both you and the Artist satisfaction - I shall be passing your residence in a day or so and will take the liberty of calling.' Signed 'W. Chevalier'. If as seems probable the recipient is the printseller Sir Francis Graham Moon 1796-1871 later Lord Mayor of London then of the firm of Moon Boys & Graves of Pall Mall the letter is a significant one marking the beginning of an important association between the two. 'Thursday Morn' [no date, but on paper watermarked 1825]; '3. Edwards Place | Hackney Road.' unknown

Eden Phillpotts (1862-1960), English novelist, often writing on Dartmoor [Alfred George Gardiner ['Alpha of the Plough'] (1865-1
Eden Phillpotts novelist. Autograph Letter Signed 'Eden Phill<.>' to A. G. Gardiner editor of the Daily News complaining of a review of his book 'Green Alleys' 'the great cause of the natural born child' and the 'Bastardy Laws'.
Place not stated. 1916. In poor condition on aged and brittle paper with significant chipping to edges involving loss of text including the end of Philpotts's signature. Undated but written in 1916 the year of publication of Phillpotts' 'The Green Alleys'. Headed in blue pencil 'Mr Lynd' i.e for the attention of Daily News columnist Robert Lynd. The letter reads: 'Dear Sir I must record that the opportunity I gave you to do a little in the great cause of the natural born child was not done; & it is a source of deep regret to me that after I had told you of the matter in <a> story "Green Alleys' you allowed a critic to dismiss the subject in that manner. You who stand for democracy might well have been looked to to help to redress this wrong & call attention to a wicked enactment & a crying scandal. That your critic sneers at it in a spirit one has not until now associated with "The Daily News". If it is conceivable t<hat> you approve theh Bastardy Laws one <.> course no more to say except let d<.> know it. I am most truly yo<.> Eden Phill<.>'. Postscript: 'One expected reactionary papers tto slight me - but not you among liberal journals & in the forefront of thought.' Philpotts has attached with a now-rusted staple a cutting of a review of the book by C. E. Lawrence in the Daily Chronicle praising him for being 'plucky' in having 'put a problem before readers in these exacting days'. Place not stated. [1916.] unknown
