1865réf. 7722Kerry Powys: unpublished circa 1865. Farewell address expressing the heartfelt thanks of the people of Kerry near Newtown Montgomeryshire/Powys and surrounding villages to Rev. E. S. Tiddeman for his endeavours in their parish likely on the occasion of his removal circa 1865 to the parish of Childerditch in Essex. The Subscribers wish to record specially their gratitude to Tiddeman for pioneering adult education in the area teaching "gratuitously reading writing and arithmetic to the working men of the neighbourhood" and his faithful exercise of his ministry: "It has not been unnoticed by us that during your short sojourn among us you have in the lonely hours of night sat by the bedside watching over the pillow of the dying." The villagers further beg Tiddeman to accept their gift of a silver pocket communion service as a humble token of their esteem and respect. A single paper leaf 35x53 cm penned in a cursive hand all text visible; paper foxed and stained missing 2x5 cm top left corner and parts of top edge; tears to top right corner patched front and rear with sticky labels. Four 'stubs' at bottom possibly remains of attachments for seals. Several horizontal creases as though once presented as a scroll. Tiddeman 1831-1898 was sometime second-master at Llanrwst Grammar School. His wife Harriet Spooner's family were instrumental in the construction and operation of the Ffestiniog Railway; and one of their sons was draughtsman with the LNER. Tiddeman's obituary stated the family tradition he was a direct descendant of the poet Edmund Spenser.

1886réf. 19726London: For Private Circulation 1886. Hardcover. Good overall. A memorial vanity printing consisting of Burns' correspondence with his parents regarding his travels and exploration in America Australasia and Africa signed by his parents. Burns visited New Zealand and Australia between March and December of 1881. The majority of the letters pertain to his experience in Africa; these begin in 1883 and continue to 1885. Edward Spenser Burns 1861 - 1885 died on an expedition in the Congo at Stanley Pool at the age of 24 Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society Annual Address June 8 1885. Burns was on the mission to the Congo for the International African Association opening up a new route towards the Kouilou-Niari River. His father a noted British temperance activist and minister assembled his son's correspondence and wrote the explanatory text in this memorial. Burns spent two years and 20 pp on his time in New Zealand from 1879 to 1881. He states that on his arrival there was a depression and there were no openings anywhere. He states there is a great deal of drinking in NZ visits the New Zealand Alps and has memories of a NZ Christmas. His time in New South Wales is shorter but covers 15pp writing about his droving a mob of horses some 300 miles to make money and visiting Newcastle Tamworth the Rivers Darling & Barwon Goondi Homebush & Sydney. One copy listed on Trove Lib Aus ID 44683907 at the State Library of NSW. The International African Association was established at the Brussels Geographic Conference in 1876 and was conceived of as a multi European nation scientific and humanitarian group meant to explore central Africa. It rapidly devolved into separately organized nationalized expeditions bent on African land acquisition. Henry M. Stanley worked secretly at this time for Leopold of Belgium to organize the Congo as a state; the French explorer de Brazza claimed the western Congo basin for the French; and Great Britain and Portugal cooperated to block access to the Atlantic. Young Edward Burns had just been named the Chief of Grantville which was the principal Station of the International Association in the Kwilu district. Burns' letters record many of his encounters with Henry Stanley including this one written from the "station of Isangila River Congo Sept 21 1884: "Stanley has had often a great difficulty with idiots to deal with and he told me himself that had he only had a few good English men and not a useless mixture of Belgians Swedes Germans Italians and Americans he could have done four times what he has towards the opening up of the Congo. If only this thing was under English management it would be very different! but the Belgian management in Brussels is something frightful". p195. Stanley wrote a letter of condolence to Burns' father included here. Small 8vo 240pp. Cream gilt cloth covers marked spine darkened. Libraries Australia ID 44683907.
