Palgrave begins: 'My dear Inglis/ I have had such avalanches last word underlined of business - and most of a confidential nature - that I have really been unable to write to you. By confidential business I mean business of a class which I cannot open to mhy clerks - and what must be either copied by my own hands or at home - If it had not been for Fanny Brown in addition to her sister I do not know what I should have done'. He has a 'distant notion' of his 'future plans': going to Albano in August and staying there until 'Rome becomes tolerably healthy'. He is in 'much perplexity about future residence' findigin it 'so difficult to suit me and your brothers'. He hopes to 'get rather more out of London' and thinks 'Mr Freshfield's house just behind Mr F<alke>'s may suit'. In the last paragraph Palgrave refers to 'K<> Hall' and the 'hope that Frank Palgrave's eldest son Francis Turner Palgrave 1824-1897 editor of the celebrated 'Golden Treasury' will fall upon his legs .

She exclaims 'Alas!' on giving the news that Budd died in April 1949 adding that she still visits her husband occasionally.

‎Edward Augustus Freeman 1823 1892 English historian and Liberal politician Rupert Simms 1853 1937 bookseller and Staffordshire‎

‎Autograph Letter Signed 'Edward A Freeman' from the historian and politician Edward Augustus Freeman to the Staffordshire antiquary Rupert Simms correcting his list of Freeman's books for Simms's 'Bibliotheca Staffordiensis'.‎

‎Somerlease Wells. 23 February 1884. Freeman's letter is on the last of five folio pages each on a separate leaf sent to him by Simms giving for correction the proposed entry on Freeman in the future 'Bibliotheca Staffordiensis'. In fair condition on aged paper. On the first page Simms has given a brief biographical description of Freeman; the middle three pages comprise a numbered list of twenty-three of Freeman's books with dates and the last page carries a rather optimistic request by Simms for information regarding 'Contribution to Periodicals Magazines &c. Giving Number a year of Serial - Pages occupied - &c'. Freeman has corrected a couple of titles in the list and on the fifth page of the document he gives the names of what he calls in the letter his five 'latest books'. The letter begins 'Sir I have added my latest books which are not on the list. I suppose everything that is wanted to be known would be found in the books themselves. I certainly have no time to go through the pages of all or to make a list say of my <> contributions to the Saturday Review which seems to be asked for.' He concludes 'It is quite impossible for me to undertake all the labour that I am asked.' Although not published until 1894 ten years after this letter Freeman's entry in the 'Bibliotheca Staffordiensis' does no more than incorporate Freeman's emendations.

‎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."
