réf. 24508No place. 'Saturday 5 Mar 14 i.e. 1814. 1p 8vo. On laid paper with watermarked date 1811. In good condition lightly aged with stub from mount adhering. In a contemporary hand at head: '0 15' and at foot '5 Mar 14' and 'Margravin Anspach'. The letter reads: 'The Pye alluded to is Calld Paté de Peregeux & must be spelt so The other is – Je detruit Par ma presence - I destroy by my presence - indeed Sir you cannot Oblige me more than to be very minute in any thing that seems doubtfull - The Black Stone perhaps may suit the Pye being filld with Black Trufles – but there is a Place calld Peregeux in France from whence was sent to all Parts of the World those Pyes - Hopeing C. Jairman will not walk off with C – Barclay - I remain yours sin Elizabeth.' The letter certainly relates to the following passage in Lady Craven's 'Memoirs' regarding 'Lord Thurlow when Chancellor': 'I really believe he preferred tough English salt beef to a pate de Perigueux — and the London porter to the wine of Paris. He frequently remarked to me " Vous detruisez par votre presence" .'. From the nature of the letter it would appear to be a reply to a query made on preparing the manuscript by the publisher of the 'Memoirs' Henry Colburn of New Burlington Street. If that is the case the dating to '5 Mar 14' would appear to be incorrect as the 'Memoirs' were published in 1826. No place. 'Saturday | 5 Mar 14 [i.e. 1814] unknown

Presentation copy from the author to British prime minister John Major inscribed on the title page "For John Major with every good wish from Humphry". John Major was presented the book while prime minister at an event and subsequently gave it to a member of the Number 10 Downing Street staff from whom it has been directly acquired. Berkeley 1926-1994 was Conservative MP for Lancaster from 1959 to 1966 afterwards standing for the Labour Party leaving for the SDP and then returning to Labour. He is noted for his early support for gay rights introducing a bill to legalize homosexual male relations in 1966 which failed only due to the dissolution of parliament. Berkeley was sent down from Oxford for impersonating "H. Rochester Sneath" the fictional headmaster of a public school and sending hoax letters to public figures. Rab Butler who knew Berkeley arranged for him a job at Conservative Central Office during this time and advised him to keep the hoax letters and their replies safely for publication a quarter century later. The "Rochester Sneath letters" were duly published in 1974 with this the third edition following the second in 1980. Octavo. Original blue cloth spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket.
