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

26 June 1925; La Chaumiere Shillong Assam. 4to: 3 pp. Text clear and entire on creased chipped airmail paper. A chatty vivacious and entertaining letter casting light on the state of mind of an English colonial wife. Thanks her for her 'kind remarks about my stories. May I say in return that I also like your story very much and it appears to have what all the Editors are clamouring for all the time - a happy ending!' Congratulates O'Duffy on her marriage 'You say they told you that you were mad to get married and without a certain amount of madness I do not see how any of us would ever take that awful step!' But you were not half as mad as people who marry for money or position or a shooting in Scotland or a motor car or a diamond tiara'. The Blacks 'live as a rule in Rangoon Burma a very hot place indeed where beads of honest sweat decorate every brow all the time.' Finds 'the opportunity of giving a description of herself a rare and glorious one!' Gives a physical description she has 'the slightly wilted appearance of all women who have to live in the Tropics for any length of time' and describes her career as a journalist before marriage. 'I used to look down from the tops of busses into motor cars where the Really Wealthy sat and think how nice life must be from the back seat of a Rolls. And when last I was in England I sat in the back seat of a Sunbeam and looked up onto the top of the passing busses and thought what fun life could be on 2d all the way. If you are still fairly poor remember that. I am not sure one does not get a great deal more pleasure on 2/6d saved up than on trips to Paris when expense is no object. I have tried both and this is my candid opinion.' Explains how 'the only story I ever more or less lived is Marcia's'. 'For last summer I had been working very hard and one day I put a suit case into the back of my two seater Standard and threw my children to the Nurse and went off into the blue.' She has no photograph to send 'I have as I already said one of those Noses.' but says that there is a photograph of her in the June number of the Ladies' Home Journal. As for her age her seven-year-old son says she is twenty-one 'or at the very most . she may be twenty-two'. 'Shall we leave it at that It is so much kinder.' Wishes she could visit O'Duffy at Daffodil Cottage. 'Here we are perched so to speak upon the kettle lid of the world.' Mentions earthquake jungle jackals. 'And it rains rains rains and the newspapers say "The Monsoon is progressing satisfactorily in Assam."' Short autograph postscript. 26 June 1925; La Chaumiere, Shillong, Assam. unknown

Whitwell Elwin (1816-1900), English journalist, editor of the 'Quarterly Review':
Whitwell Elwin; Quarterly Review Three Autograph Letters Signed all three 'W. Elwin' to historian Alexander William Kinglake 1809-1891.
1875 1883 1887; all three from Booton Rectory Norwich. All three letters 12mo and closely written. All three with rusted pinholes at head. A valuable correspondence in which one of Victorian England's leading critics describes his response to the work of one of the age's foremost historians. LETTER ONE 1 page 26 lines good: He thanks Kinglake for sending his 'new volume' of 'The Invasion of the Crimea'. 'I am reading it with great delight. The work to me is unique both in military & literary history. I never read a book before which gave a description of a battle in all its parts so as to convey a true picture of what a battle really is.' Continues in the same vein laying on the praise. 'Many of the passages are full of pathos & grandeur & when I read them aloud in our domestic circle thehy stirred the hearts of old & young alike.' Concludes 'If the work were far less distinguished for its intellectual beauties it would deserve immortality for its fearless honesty. An author who loves nothing better than truth is rare.' LETTER TWO 2 pages 33 lines good: Another paean of praise beginning 'I find your new preface delightful for its contents & the vigour & felicity of the language. Newspapers write more & more in superlatives & exaggerate everything for the sake of effect. I suppose we have all felt this in the accounts of the Egyptian Campaign .'. Discusses Lord Bury and 'one of the most comical instances on record of a man digging a pit for another & falling into it himself. I never saw Lord Bury but once & then only for an instant but I know his father & the family calibre. With sundry good qualities to be a little weak a little vain & a politician for what you can get runs I think in the blood.' Returns to Kinglake's 'volume' in the last paragraph with yet more praise. LETTER THREE two pages 27 lines with some wear at foot affecting a couple of words of still-decipherable text: He has read Kinglake's letter 'with a pride & pleasure greater than you yourself probably feel at the completion of your masterly work. The modes of treating history were hacknied & did not seem capable of much novelty. I know scarce anything inn fiction more original than yours & the originality has everywhere tended to one end . I look upon your history as absolutely unique . <If> it had been a war far less memorable in its consequences it would have been rendered memorable by its historian .'. 1875, 1883, 1887; all three from Booton Rectory, Norwich. unknown

'Eric Broad' Frederic E. Wright poet Three Autograph Letters Signed two 'Eric Broad/Frederic E Wright.' and one 'Frederic E Wright/Eric Broad.' to W. Kineton Parkes assistant editor of the journal of the Ruskin Reading Guild 'Igdrasil'
20 and 22 January and 3 March 1890; all from Scarsdale Great Malvern. All three items in very good condition. Interesting series of letters by an obscure 1890s poet. Letter One 12mo 7 pp: Although he realises that some are 'rather poor' he is sending through his brother possibly the artist Alan Wright 1864-1959 'all the lyrics I have by me': 'I have not had time to "weed" yet being veryy busily engaged writing lyrics for a Comedy-Opera 'Ethelinda or a Philanthropic Fad' 1890 on which he collaborated with Hamilton O. Wylde - & a libretto for Operetta; also been trying my hand at very sensational prose'. He has 'quite forgotten' the poem 'Yesterday': 'There is a lyric in the brown-paper-covered book "But Yesterday" - but I do not know if that is the one.' He will 'submit a Sonnet or something to "Igdrasil" shortly'. He misses 'Comus' a magazine edited by Parkes 1888-9: 'as there was always something to attract one in it - more than can be said for most mushroom-papers do forgive the epithet - it was not intended of this era'. He has been 'rather shakey' 'suffering with nicotine poisoning of the lower lip'. He is sending Parkes the 'last collection of my verses' entitled 'In Idle Hours' no copy on COPAC. 'It is coverless - Pardon that - I trust the inside will gain your favour. It is out of print - & only 12 copies were printed. Three on rough-edged paper - others as this one. It is I regret one of the follies of a year past. Cavil not therefore O Critic - but pity the poor deluded youth!' Letter Two 12mo 1 p: Parkes's 'friend may like to see the enclosed lyrics not present - which I have just written.' Letter Three 12mo 4 pp: Apologises for asking for the return of his lyrics 'safe to hand to night'. 'The Composer I sent to however was hard to please: in fact I was unable to do business with him'. He has a 'little collection of Sonnets . in the press' nothing on COPAC under either Broad or Wright. Wonders whether Parkes will 'put the Sonnet "Igdrasil" in the magazine of that name'. 'I suppose "Comus" will appear again "pro bono publico" - I have been writing short stories lately for which I seem to have a slight gift.' In fact my first was well received by a large firm & I am awaiting further hearing from them.' Hopes he may send 'anything in the poetry-line for insertion in "Igdrasil" as I shall submit nothing but what is worthy of my best attempts'. In a postscript reports that the libretto on which he has been collaborating see above is 'now musically complete' and 'on the eve of printing prior to copyrighting. It is of novel & original plot & action.' 20 and 22 January and 3 March 1890; all from Scarsdale, Great Malvern. unknown

Sir Edward Knatchbull Autograph Letter Signed 'E Knatchbull' to the Mayor of Canterbury.
17 September 1841; Mersham Hatch. 4to 3 pp. Very good on aged paper. Small punch hole through top left-hand corner of both leaves of the bifolium not affecting text which is clear and entire. Knatchbull claims that it has been 'intimated' to him 'that the Removal of the Troops from Canterbury in consequence of the Election for the County which is to take place on Monday next will cause much Inconvenience especially to the Trade of the City'. He does not think that the Secretary of State 'would like to interfere unless in Concurrence with the desire & opinion of the Authorities of the City of Canterbury'. 'If therefore you think in accordance with the opinion which I entertain that any object will be attained if the Troops are order'd to remain in Barracks on Monday next perhaps you will be kind enough to address a short Letter or Memorial to Sir James Graham at the Home Office'. Knatchbull claims that his 'only motive' in writing 'is to render any Service I can to the Trade of Canterbury'. He is certain any application by the Mayor will 'receive immediate attention'. Knatchbull was Member of Parliament for East Kent from 1832 to 1845. 17 September 1841; Mersham Hatch. unknown

H. N. Brailsford Autograph Letter Signed 'H. N. B.' to 'My Dear N. M.'
'Friday'; date and place not stated circa 1919. 12mo 4 pp. Good. A long interesting gossipy letter. He is a 'poor weak devil' whose 'confounded laziness' has prevented him from writing.

'I'm damned if I know where my lecture notes are - I've just hunted all over my room. I think they must be in Newcastle or is it not possible that I lent them to you' Discusses his 'articles in the Record'.

He has 'had Bone James Bone 1872-1962 a fellow-journalist with Brailsford at the Manchester Guardian & then Menzies in' but nevertheless 'managed it to the minute but ye gods I was sick when I saw it in print. Yesterday's was better for I was studiedly simple - even Menzies liked it.' The third is 'darn smart & offensive'. 'Bone James Bone's brother Sir Muirhead Bone is forging ahead gloriously. I have been to see him in his studio. He has just finished a magnum opus - a sea piece by twilight. I sat & worshipped.' 'Charteris Archibald Hamilton Charteris 1874-1940 later Professor of International Law at Sydney University is to all appearances very brave & cheerful. He talks just as usual with all the old wit & lightheartedness. But he looks ill & pasty & unwholesome. he's going down to London next week to negociate about an appointment in Egypt. Menzies is superb - grave & sane & tolerant. I can hardly understand what has happened. He can see the other side of every question now - is twice as sane & just as able as ever. I have seen a lot of him - we are quite good friends again.' Recounts 'two good MZisms'. 'Dick is flourishing - yellow waist-coat black coat blue tie striped flannel trousers straw hat. Hhe is going to London next spring. He has 3 introductions to men on the Times. He expects to be made dramatic critic & superintendt of the literary department.' He is 'trying to brace himself up' to write a novel and is pleased 'with the little that I have written'. Reference to 'Mrs Adamson' who says she is 'desolate' with 'Robert' away: 'She thinks Mr. Scott a very interesting fellow. She also would have gone to Greece if she had been a man. Many people would.' 'Friday'; date and place not stated [circa 1919?]. unknown

[SURPRISING TRANSLATIONS - JAPANESE TO AMERICAN ENGLISH AND TWO OTHER LANGUAGES!].
あめりかことバ おろ志やことバ いぎりすことバ. Amerika kotoba. Oroshiya kotoba. Igirisu kotoba. Kawaraban Vocabulary Lists for Japanese and Foreign Languages Including American Russian and British.
Japan. Late Edo early Meiji. Black and white wood block print with three illustrations on right of sheet 22.4 x 30cm. Small brown mark at foot of print but otherwise very good. This kawaraban features comparative vocabulary lists showcasing Japanese alongside three foreign languages: American English Russian and British English. Accompanying each list is a small portrait of a "typical" man from each country with the respective capital noted. For instance an American soldier is depicted holding a gun with Washington identified as the capital while a Russian officer holding a sword is paired with St. Petersburg transcribed as Petoruku in Japanese.<br><br>The vocabulary lists are challenging to interpret suggesting that some entries might be fabricated or inaccurately represented. However the American section includes a few recognisable words such as "silver" and "coin" transcribed phonetically into Japanese offering a glimpse of early efforts at linguistic comparison and cross-cultural representation. . unknown
