In good condition lightly aged with slight discoloration to margin at head and light rust spot. Reads: ‘Dear Mr. Haynes King / It was extremely kind of you to write & congratulate me on my election as R.A. & I appreciate the attention very much.

réf. 25531No date but no earlier than 1882 and no later than 1884. ‘Linn Villa / Sutton / Surrey’. An interesting item providing valuable biographical information. The Gills were a prominent family of English painters all puzzingly absent from the Oxford DNB. Edmund Gill’s father was the portrait painter Edmund Ward Gill 1794–1854 and among his brothers were the painters William Ward Gill 1823–1894 and George Reynolds Gill 1827–1904. After studying at the Royal Academy he fell under the influence of David Cox. The present item relates to Gill’s entry in the 1884 eleventh edition of the Routledge reference work by Thompson Cooper ‘Men of the Time: A Dictionary of Contemporaries’. Both items are 1p 12mo. On the same grey paper. In good condition both folded three times for postage. ONE: Covering letter to ‘G. Routledge & Sons’ with good bold signature ‘Edmund Gill’. He is forwarding ‘the slip Inclosed to me There is no other Information to add - except that you may like a List of the Principal works exhibited which will occupy about double the space - should you be able to spare it’. TWO: ‘List of Principal Works Exhibited by E. Gill’. Signed at foot ‘Edmund Gill’. A list of eighteen titles with places and date of exhibition. Starting with ‘Storm on the Court St. Gowain. S. Wales - Royal Academy 1846’ to ‘The North West Coast of Cornwall - R.A. 1882’. Two items from ‘Crystal Pala. Internation Exhibitn’ three from the British Institution and the others from the Royal Academy. Only eleven of the eighteen titles in this list are present on p.462 of the work published in 1884. No date, but no earlier than 1882, and no later than 1884. ‘Linn Villa / Sutton / Surrey’. unknown
réf. 25614No date or place. The claim that Benjamin Jowett reported Senior as saying that ‘the famine of 1848 in Ireland would not kill more than a million people and that would scarcely be enough to do much good’ appears to have been made up by Cecil Woodham-Smith. It is certainly not mentioned in Senior’s entry in the Oxford DNB along with the entry for the recipient Lady Maria Theresa Lewis 1803-1865 who lived in Kent House in Knightsbridge with her second husband Sir George Cornewall Lewis Bart her first husband having been the novelist Thomas Henry Lister 1800-1842. The present item is a 12.5 x 8 cm envelope. In good condition lightly aged. The front panel has the signature ‘N W Senior’ at bottom left with the address centred as usual: ‘The / Lady Theresa Lewis / Kent House’. On the reverse the back flap has been carefully torn open leaving a the red-wax seal intact but sadly without any impression. See Image. No date or place. unknown
réf. 25542ONE: 26 May 1885. On letterhead of 45 Curzon Street Mayfair. W. London TWO: 15 June 1885. On letterhead of 3 Plowden Buildings Temple. E.C. London. Interesting items casting light on the nitty-gritty of Victorian constituency politics. Both are signed ‘W. S. Robson’ and addressed to ‘B. Piffard Esq’. Both in good condition lightly aged with the second a little spotted. Each on a bifolium. ONE 26 May 1885: 3pp 12mo. He has been informed ‘that it is now the wish of the Watford or Divisional Association that I should visit the Division & address meetings there. In fact they have asked me to speak at a meeting at Watford next Saturday evening & I have consented.’ He will be happy to ‘deliver my address at Hemel Hempstead on the Saturday following 2.5. Saturday week.’ He stresses that he is not visiting the division as a candidate. ‘I was asked to meet the Committee of the Divisional Association at Watford with the view of becoming a Candidate but declined to do so on grounds stated in a letter to them & which I shall be happy to explain to you when we have the pleasure of meeting.’ He agrees with Piffard ‘that it is the new voters who have mainly to be considered in the coming fight. They are at present outside the organisation of either party & must be won to Liberalism’. TWO 15 June 1885: 4pp 12mo. In much the same tone as One. Discusses his ‘Watford Speech’ which was not intended as ‘a declaration of political views’ but rather as ‘a controversial skirmish against the inconsistent & dishonest attitude of the Tories in modern politics’. His address ‘might be entitled “How shall we use our vote” ’ He is still being cagey: ‘I would rather not appear definitely as a Candidate’. In the remainder of the letter - more than half - he describes how he believes the candidates should conduct themselves. For all his talk of dishonesty it was Robson who was hedging his bets; he never did stand for Piffard's district being elected to Bow and Bromley 1885-1885 and to South Shields 1895-1910. ONE: 26 May 1885. On letterhead of 45, Curzon Street, Mayfair. W. [London] TWO: 15 June 1885. On letterhead of 3, Plowden Buildi unknown

ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ‘Mehemet Ali’. The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet ‘which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute . attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s.

The page is headed ‘20’ and carries ten lines of text one and a half lines of which are deleted. Lightly aged worn and creased. On reverse in pencil in a contemporary hand: ‘Cobden / M. S. S His work in Turkey’. The text reads with deleted passage in square brackets: ‘Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man - the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed - and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali’. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person with reverse blank. In fair condition lightly aged. Reads: ‘Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury a memorial’.

Reads with manuscript text in square brackets: ‘Mr & Mrs Cobden return thanks for the favor of Mr Smiths kind enquiries. / Midhurst 20 June 1856’. The word ‘return’ has been altered from ‘returns’.

By recipient at head of first page: 'Letter from Mr Sergeant sic Ballantine / United Club -'. Begins: 'I have to acknowledge the receipt of what purports to be a specimen of a new family paper called "The English Resident" & which it is supposed will supply a want existing especially amongs the English sojourners of all descriptions in different French places of resort. & notably at this one of the most favourable watering places of the British people - Those who favoured me with the number in question were aware that for many years of a busy life there has rarely been a year during which upon more than one occasion I have not sought health and recreation uponits shores. I have had abundant opportunities of appreciating its advantages & recognizing its wants and I welcome very heartily the probabl advent of a newspaper which appears to be conducted upon principles likely to render it a very popular addition.' The second half of the letter is in much the same highfallutin tone see reference to 'the freedom and elasticity of Boulogne air' with Ballantine feeling that is is 'impertinent on my part to offer hints to an Editor so evidently experienced as the Gentleman who has supplied news in the number that I have had the pleasure of reading'. See Image of second page. 'Boulogne s/m June 18 1883'. unknown
