réf. 21433'M H i.e. Middle Hill 12 Aug. no year but after Sir Charles Hastings' 1850 knighthood'. 3pp 16mo. On bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged. Phillipps's letter or draft letter is a reply to a dinner invitation from the wife of the eminent Worcester physician Sir Charles Hastings. It occupies the reverse of the first leaf and both sides of the second leaf of the bifolium. The recto of the first leaf carries the invitation in manuscript with the text in square brackets printed in copperplate: 'Sir Charles & Lady Hastings Request the pleasure of Sir Thos & Lady Phillipps' Company at Dinner on Thursday the 28th. Inst. Six oclock An answer will oblige. Worcester Augt. 12th.' Phillipps begins his reply: 'Dr Lady Hastings Lady P is in such distress respecting the serious illness of her Brother in law that I take up her Pen to return her & my best thanks for the kind invitation wch yr self & Sir Chas. have done us the honor to send for the 28th inst.' As the Phillippses do not 'know how his illness might terminate' even 'in the best case' they will not be able to 'come to the Worcester Music Meeting; for a Worcester Lawyer has plundered me of all my spare Cash & what is worse has done nothing for it.' He hopes she 'will be able to fill our vacant seats with some more wealthy persons who will be beneficial to the Meeting.' The letter is signed 'Very faithfully Yours Thos Phillipps'. Hastings founded the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association – now the British Medical Association – in 1832. Phillipps was notoriously eccentric and irascible. See his entry in the Oxford DNB and Munby 'Phillipps Studies' 5 vols 1951-1960. From the distinguished autograph collection of Richard Hunter son of Ida Macalpine whose collection of 7000 books relating to psychiatry is in Cambridge University Library. Macalpine and Hunter had a particular interest in the illness of King George III and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' 1969 suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

1987réf. BIBLIO-58011Bibliothèque nationale Paris first edition 1987. Cloth large 8vo 31 cm. xvi 235 pp 16 colour plates and 256 black-and-white ills on 109 plates. 260 entries. A detailed catalogue of 260 manuscripts in the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale dating from the seventh century the Echtemach Gospels MS lat. 9389 onwards and either originating in the British Isles or illuminated by continental artisans clearly and strongly influenced by Insular forms. From a review by Robert G. Calkins in Speculum: "The entries are chronologically arranged insofar as possible and include all manuscripts containing any decoration beyond the slightest scribal embellishment without regard to aesthetic criteria. . Almost all manuscripts are illustrated with black-and-white photographs providing details of secondary as well as major decorations.The result is a thorough overview that presents a more balanced visual array of the total production than is usually found in catalogues of illuminated manuscripts. We can discover the range of decoration produced during a given period as well as follow the development of various decorative forms through the centuries the detailed description of manuscripts either previously unpublished or only cursorily mentioned in the literature provides a solid basis for further scholarship. Indeed this catalogue takes its place as an essential companion not only to the previous volumes presenting the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale but also to the series edited by J. J. G. Alexander A Survey of Manuscripts Illuminated in the British Isles.". Very Good. Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, first edition, 1987 hardcover

1900réf. BIBLIO-43150Trustees of the British Museum London first edition 1900-1912. 2 vols cloth 8vo 26 cm. iv 936 iv 1 896 pp. Volume I "embraces all the various collections of deeds in the Department namely the Royal Cotton Harley Sloane Campbell Lansdowne Topham and Wolley Charters together with the Additional and Egerton Charters acquired up to the year 1882 and a special series of Church Briefs. The Stowe Charters acquired in 1883 have already been indexed in the Catalogue of the StoweMSS. 1895-1896; and an index to Charters before the Norman Conquest will be found in Vol. IV. of Facsimiles of Ancient Charters in the British Museum 1873-1878. The more important entries however in the latter have also been inserted here. The present volume is confined to the topography of the Charters relating to the British Isles only reserving for the present all Foreign documents. One of the chief points of interest and value of this Index lies in the evolution of modern place-names from the early forms found in the oldest documents which have all been carefully traced by means of full cross-references." The second volume "unites in one alphabetical series: 1 A purely topographical index on the same scheme as Vol. I. to all the deeds Additional Charters 27005-45797 Egerton Charters 486-621 and the important and early Stowe Charters acquired by the Department from the beginning of 1882 to the end of 1900 : thus completing so far as places in Great Britain and Ireland are concerned the index to all charters in the Department on the 1st of January 1901; 2 Entries under corporate headings such as England Ireland Scotland and the various Orders religious and otherwise Monasteries and religious houses and under London the College of Arms City Companies and the like referring as well to the deeds acquired before 1881 and topographically indexed in Vol. I. as to those acquired from 1882 to 1900. Every reference therefore to a Monastery or other corporation in any deed in the Department collections old or new Boyal Cotton Harley Lansdowne Sloane Campbell Topham Wolley Stowe Additional or Egerton Charters in the Museum at the beginning of 1901 is to be sought in this second volume".
