Original quarter blue cloth patterned orange and grey paper boards paper label printed in blue to spine. A touch of spotting to edges. Binding a little rubbed. Ink ownership inscription of ‘N.M. Gunn’ to front flyleaf with later corroborating note and ownership inscription of Colin MacDonald to front pastedown. The scarce sole edition of this radio play by writer and Liberal politician Reginald Berkeley 1890-1935 which was originally commissioned by the BBC for public broadcast but never saw production. Berkeley wrote for the stage and began writing ‘for the microphone’ with The Dweller in the Darkness first broadcast by the BBC in April 1925. Berkeley decided to publish Machines when he received a letter from the BBC rejecting the script as ‘far too controversial for purposes of broadcasting’ and he includes his entire correspondence with two representatives of the BBC. Here Berkeley argues that his play is deemed controversial for the fact that ‘it does not happen to glorify Conservatives at the expense of working people’. This copy belonged to Scottish novelist Neil M. Gunn 1891-1973 with his ownership inscription on the front flyleaf and a later ownership inscription confirming ‘from Gunn’s library’ dated 12/1/83.

ref. 13580Cheltenham; 11 February 1850. 2pp. 4to. In good condition on aged paper with traces of mount at head. The Earl and his brother loathed one another. FitzHardinge was a notorious philanderer and Berkeley - whose violent behaviour included assaulting the bookseller Fraser and duelling with Maginn - held his position as a Member of Parliament to spite him. The letter begins: 'Sir. You have published a letter from Mr. Grantley Berkeley in your Paper a short time since in which he asserts his knowledge of the quarter whence arises a vindictive persecution and whence come funds for the support of an action for seduction and in a comment you distinctly apply this insinuation to me and ascribe to me an interference hardly fraternal. The correspondence which I now enclose not present the only communication I have ever held will enable you to judge of the truth of the insinuation in Mr. Berkeley's letters and as the action has dropped for want of a small sum for fees no prejudice to a question before a Court of Law can now attend the publication of Matilda <Lait's> letters and I feel it due to myself to make known the motives and extent of my interference in the matter after the misrepresentation in your Paper.' Cheltenham; 11 February 1850. unknown
