ref. 13480On letterhead of Phesdo House Laurencekirk Kincardineshire N.B. 12 October 1903. 4pp. 12mo. In good condition on lightly-aged paper. Closely written. He feels that he can give an account 'sufficient for yr. purposes without risking inaccuracies wh. opponents might attack'. He begins as follows: 'You are probably aware that after the fiscal follies of the earlier part of the last century the people of the United States resolutely set their faces against taxation except for revenue purposes for the absolute necessities of the Govt. - this lasted till the outbreak of the Civil War when the extraordinary demands upon the Treasury required widespread taxation - & wherever home industries were taxed equivalent or greater import duties were levied.' There follows a detailed analysis of the question concluding: 'Free Trade v. Protection has been a lifelong study for me & I have been so mixed up with the question in the US & with Bright & Cobden in this country that it is difficult for me to believe that we are really committed to a further struggle to maintain the wonderful position wh. Free Trade has given to this country.' From the Evans family papers. On letterhead of Phesdo House, Laurencekirk, Kincardineshire, N.B. 12 October 1903. unknown

He is pleased to have received Childers' life of his father published that year. 'I knew your Father well . I was in the House in the Parliaments of 68 & 80 when he had his most serious work'. Praises his 'amazing pluck in going out as he did to Australia Childers was first Vice-Chancellor of the University of Melbourne & in his conduct there in the early days & during the gold discoveries time the story of which in his letters is very curious'. He is interested to learn that he 'had Jewish blood in his veins'. He finds it 'evident that he was very doubtful as to Gladstone's wisdom on several points & in that I agree with him'. He believes that though 'most anxious to help Ireland' he was not 'really happy about Home Rule' wanting to 'separate the Imperial from the Local' which 'could not be done'. Ends: 'Where should we have been in 99 if we had given Ireland over to an Irish Parlmt in 93' Letter Two 4 July 1901: 12mo 4 pp. 33 lines. Having received Childers' reply he is pleased he wrote. Childers' 'Jewish blood' is 'very interesting to me'. Praises Disraeli's comments on the subject in his biography of Lord George Bentinck - 'a most interesting book & written by a most remarkable specimen of that famous nation'. Attacks Gladstone's handling of the Home Rule question. The recipient is 'right that Gladstone acted in a hurry . but he did more - He broke faith with his old friends to whom in Septr 1885 he sent a message utterly opposed to the plans which he developed even before the Election of that year. He was not straight & he had his reward. And he destroyed the Liberal party. - Where is it now' Letter Three 8 July 1901: 12mo 3 pp. 31 lines. He thanks him for 'the Copy of that very remarkable letter - It does the Father credit'. Until the recent case of 'Mr J. E. Backhouse of Darlington' he had 'never heard before of a boy being made a Baronet'. He does not 'altogether agree with your history as to 79-80 - I remember well saying after that terrible Afghan disaster at end of 79 that it would finish the Govmt - that & the Zulu war were too much for the Electors.' 1, 4 and 8 July 1901; all on letterheads of Broadwater Cross, Tunbridge Wells. unknown

1969Due volumi in 4° grande, legati in piena pelle, titolo inciso ai piatti ed al tassello ai dorsi, sguardie figurate, bianca con dedica autografa dell'autore al Dr. M.G.T., frontespizi, introduzioni, 660, 743 pp., indici, colophon e bianche finali, numerose vignette ed illustrazioni fotografiche a piena pagina. Dall'introduzione: "Il primo volume di quest'opera si apre con un saggio critico sulla crisi del Parlamento italiano, la cui parte introduttiva documenta la unanimità delle critiche da parte dei gruppi politici, dopo un abbastanza largo compendio di storia parlamentare in un secolo (1848 - 1948), il volume si chiude con la esposizione critica delle vicende della Camera italiana durante le quattro legislature della Repubblica; il secondo volume offre tutta una serie di documentazioni inedite, dati per la prima volta raccolti, di curiosità utili al conseguimento di un valido quadro, intorno all'attività e al funzionamento della Camera italiana dal 1948 al 1968. ... La crisi, funzionale, strutturale, pianta purtroppo le sue radici nel costume stesso della Nazione e innalza i suoi fastigi fino ai vertici dello Stato. ..." Ben più che interessante, in ottimo stato, con un significativo corredo iconografico, impreziosita dalla dedica autografa di Giorgio Almirante.
