réf. 20411Allestree Hall Derbyshire . 11 April 1859. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. He declares his belief that he will 'act well in accordance with what I stated on the nomination day in 1857 by pursuing the course followed by me since I have been in parliament & abstaining from voting either way on the ballot'. The subject is one concerning which he feels 'great difficulty': 'I fully appreciate the evils of intimidation & bribery which the ballot is intended to cure although I hope that they are gradually diminishing & will be still further diminished when we have fewer small constituencies'. He greatly doubts whether secret voting as it is called would have all the effects attributed to it & whether it would not produce serious evils of another kind.' He commented on the relative successes of the method in France the United States and Canada'. As he has a 'serious doubt' regarding tne question it is 'advisable to abstain from voting upon it' but this is not to say that it is right for a member of parliament 'to avoid all difficult subjects by this course. I certainly have not done so myself . this is the only matter on which I hbave not voted at all'. He is sorry to 'go against the opinions' of any of his constituents and knows that he has 'annoyed some of them by my votes in the church rate question but there my mind was made up. I could have no hesitation.' Note: Secret ballot introduced in 1872. Allestree Hall [ Derbyshire ]. 11 April 1859. unknown

réf. 2492215 March 1853; Leeds. An interesting letter linking two similar individuals like Baines Buckingham had also served as a Yorkshire Member of Parliament in his case for Sheffield as a radical between and 1835; and both men were newspaper proprietors. See the entries for Baines with those for Buckingham and his son in the Oxford DNB. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged and folded for postage. Addressed to ‘J. S. Buckingham Esq’ and signed ‘Edw Baines’. He begins by saying that he will try and promote Buckingham’s ‘son’s introduction to this part of the country as a Lecturer’. According to L. S. Buckingham’s ODNB entry his travels with his father had provided him with ‘experiences that he later put to good use when he was a lecturer’. A difficulty the son will face Baines feels ‘will be the name he bears for his father’s reputation is so high that it will not be easy to sustain the comparison’. Baines goes on to explains a change which has taken place from the former means of ‘negociating between Lecturers & their Institutes in our Yorkshire Union’ adding that if Buckingham will send him the subjects of his son’s lectures he will ‘recommend it to our Committee for their Mid-Summer list’. He also offers to lay newspaper testimonials ‘before the Committee of our Leeds Institute: but I believe they have made their arrangements for this season.’ He turns to ‘the Total Abstinence cause’ to which J. S. Buckingham has ‘rendered immense service’. Baines has recently published his own ‘Testimony’ ‘of which you may be pleased to see a copy’. He feels ‘a difficulty in advocating the Maine Liquor Law on the ground of its interference will personal liberty. But the American democrats are putting the wholesome chain upon themselves very fast.’ He ends by conveying his family’s regards to Buckingham’s. 15 March 1853; Leeds. unknown
