rif. 22600Headed 10 Downing Street Whitehall 6 March 1891. Three pages cr. 8vo bifolium fold marks good condition. "I have read your letter with reference to Mr Justice Stephen with care and I observe that while you throw the whole responsibility on the Government for the continuance of a condition which you describe as 'notorious' and creating 'a general dissatisfaction' you do not advance a single specific allegation as to a failure of justice on which it would be possible to take action. The only course of action open to the Government in the case of a judge whose conduct merits removal is by address to the Crown in both Houses of Parliament. The constitution has very properly made the judges absolutely independent of the Government of the day which so far as they are concerned possesses no Paternal or Disciplinary authority and any Member of Parliament is equally entitled to move an Address with any member of the Government. But this power which you possess in common with ourselves should obviously be exercised with abundant specific proof of the necessity in the public interest of that course. I am not in possession of evidence of that character on which I could feel it my duty to proceed." At this time Smith was First Lord of the Treasury and Leader of the House.

2009Come facciamo a restituire luminosità e fascino alle nostre istituzioni democratiche? Alla loro funzionalità e alla loro forza persuasiva? Noi tutti dobbiamo essere preoccupati se una cospicua parte della nostra popolazione non si aspetta più niente dalle élites dello Stato e della società o diffida di loro. La spina dorsale della democrazia è costituita dalla fiducia che elettrici ed elettori hanno verso i rappresentanti da loro eletti, verso la loro competenza e serietà, le loro buone intenzioni e la loro onestà, il loro orientamento etico e la loro integrità morale. È un bene da maneggiare con cura. Autori: Wilhelm Staudacher, Mario Ciampi.

rif. 105171 4 and 8 July 1901; all on letterheads of Broadwater Cross Tunbridge Wells. All three items good on lightly-aged paper. All bifoliums. Letter One 1 July 1901: 12mo 4 pp. 42 lines. 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.

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

Like many Puritans abhorring decadent celebrations Prynne was strongly opposed to religious feast days including Christmas and revelry such as stage plays He included in his Histriomastix 1632 a denunciation of actresses which was widely felt to be an attack of Queen Henrietta Maria. This book led to the most famous incidents in his life but the timing was accidental. About 1624 Prynne had begun a book against stage-plays; on 31 May 1630 he obtained a license to print it and about November 1632 it was published. Histriomastix is a volume of over a thousand pages showing that plays were unlawful incentives to immorality and condemned by the scriptures Church Fathers modern Christian writers and pagan philosophers. By chance the queen and her ladies in January 1633 took part in the performance of Walter Montagu's The Shepherd's Paradise: this was an innovation at court. A passage reflecting on the character of female actors in general was construed as an aspersion on the queen; passages which attacked the spectators of plays and magistrates who failed to suppress them pointed by references to Nero and other tyrants were taken as attacks on the king Charles I. William Noy as attorney-general instituted proceedings against Prynne in the Star-chamber. After a year's imprisonment in the Tower of London he was sentenced 17 February 1634 to be imprisoned during life to be fined to be expelled from Lincoln's Inn to be deprived of his degree by the university of Oxford and to lose both his ears in the pillory. Prynne was pilloried on 7 May and 10 May. On 11 June he addressed to Archbishop Laud whom he regarded as his chief persecutor a letter charging him with illegality and injustice. Laud handed the letter to the attorney-general as material for a new prosecution but when Prynne was required to own his handwriting he contrived to get hold of the letter and tore it to pieces. In the Tower Prynne wrote and published anonymous tracts against episcopacy and against the Book of Sports. In one he introduced Noy's recent death as a warning. Elsewhere he attacked prelates in general 1635. An anonymous attack on Matthew Wren bishop of Norwich brought him again before the Star-chamber. On 14 June 1637 Prynne was sentenced once more to a fine to imprisonment for life and to lose the rest of his ears. At the proposal of Chief-justice John Finch he was also to be branded on the cheeks with the letters S. L. signifying 'seditious libeller'. Prynne was pilloried on 30 June in company with Henry Burton and John Bastwick and Prynne was handled barbarously by the executioner. He made as he returned to his prison a couple of Latin verses explaining the 'S. L.' with which he was branded to mean 'stigmata laudis' sign of praise. He was released by the Long Parliament in 1640. The House of Commons declared the two sentences against him illegal restored him to his degree and to his membership of Lincoln's Inn and voted him pecuniary reparation as late as October 1648 he was still trying to collect it. He supported the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War particularly in the press and in many pamphlets while still pursuing the bishops. Printed at London : For M.S hardcover
