ref. 47407 October 1905. Two leaves vellum folio one page blank folded good condition. Details he bankruptcy of Grant Richards are given mentioning the addresses of his premises and continues: "The said Alexander Moring publisher de la More Press has recently agreed with the said . . . Moncrieff for the purchase of the stock in trade copyrights publishing rights and goodwill of the business of the said Grant Richards . . . 17 April 1905 for the sum of Nine Thousand pounds and upon payment of Three Thousand five hundred pounds . . . Moncrieff has delivered possession to the sadi Alexander Moring of the stock in trade and all other the moveable property of the said Grant Richards . . . and in consideration of One hundred pounds . . .Moncrieff hereby assigns unto the said Alexander Moring All that the goodwill of the business of a Publisher lately carried out by the said Grant Richards together with the trade name . . . and also the copyrights publishing and other rights . . . of and in the series of books known respectively as "The Worlds Classics" The Boys Classics and "The Parsons Handbook Series" vested in the said . . . Moncrieff . . .". The final page contains information which indicates that this was an exhibit in an action brought by Grant Richards against the distinguished bookseller Bertram Dobell and this document is accompanied by a manuscript 2pp. fol. folded prob. secretarial hand "draft Affidavit of Defendant Dobell". The case is Grant Richards plaintiff and Bertram Dobell and Alexander Moring defendants. Dobell initially gives details of his business two premises "Publisher Bookseller and Dealer in Autographs" length of career etc. He says he bought some letters in good faith from his co-defendent Alexander Moring who himself had bought the letters along with the rest of Grant Richards' business. He did not think that the letters had content which would provoke legal action and he has sent 3000 catalogues out in GB and the USA attracting "considerable expense" and perhaps the expense and trouble of getting sold letters back from customers if the Court so decided. His reputation is also an issue. Note: Grant Richards originated the World Classics series but it appears that Moring bought the copyright before Frowde of the OUP. The letters discussed above are apparently now in Princeton University Library. 7 October 1905. hardcover

ref. 20321Cheadle Hulme Paris Church Manchester . 29 October 1948. Carpenter who was knighted in 1951 'For services as President Manchester Chamber of Commerce' was a leading Manchester industrialist and banker.

On seventeen leaves punched in corner and attached with metal-tipped tie to grey card covers on which the title and other details are printed. Carpenter begins by explaining that 'Mr. Lockhart the Headmaster of my old school invited me to give the address at the Founders' Day Service' and explains that he is going to begin the address 'on a rather personal note' giving the biblical quotation which he will take as his text. He continues: 'My father passed away when I was about eight years of age and I have therefore few very vivid recollections of his influences upon me but amongst them is one of being taken to what was then a country walk from Heaton Mersey to Didsbury Parish Church for service on Sunday mornings.' After a reference to his mother he continues: 'It is nearly 37 years since at the age of 15 I completed five years of boarding-school days at Cheadle Hulme and became a very young “Old Boy.”' He continues for a while with a discussion of the school's influence on him it having 'led' him to 'the firm Greg Brothers with which I have been privileged to spend the whole of my business life' and also having 'fitted' him 'to enter upon voluntary work in the Chamber of Commerce and other organisations in the commercial field. That has led to my being honoured and entrusted with the presidency of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce and incidentally to my presence in this pulpit this morning.' He turns to the need for voluntary work and 'Service before Need' 'pride in our work' 'our standards of honesty' and the 'desperate need of leadership' in the world. The address ends with a pious exhortation. Scarce: no other copy traced either on OCLC WorldCat or on COPAC. Cheadle Hulme Paris Church [ Manchester ]. 29 October 1948. unknown

Founder of the First Free Labour Registry in England.' The text begins: 'A National Labour Bureau with Affiliated Labour Registries Is one of the pressing needs of the time. Therefore at the desire of two or three gentlemen who are greatly interested in the question I having given considerable attention to the matter venture to express my views thereon and at the same time to incorporate in a pamphlet the evidence I gave upon the subject before the Royal Commission on Labour in December last. In the views herein expressed I do not claim any special originality as they are very much the result of conference and correspondence with a number of representative men. My part has been first the initiation of the proposal to bring the subject under the notice of the Royal Commission; and secondly the formulation of a definite scheme.' What follows is divided into sections: 'Statement before Commission' 'Examination by Members of Commission' 'National Bureau' 'Cost of Scheme' 'Periodic Report' 'Employment of Post Offices' 'Private Registries' 'Importance of Prompt Action'. The final page is headed: 'Outline of Proposed Scheme.' This begins: 'A National Labour Bureau being an extension of the Labour Department of the Board of Trade or a separate department in affiliation with the Factory Inspectors' Department and with the Emigrations' Information Department in connection with which it should be vested with special powers for dealing with the questions of emigrations. The objects of this Bureau would be first to obtain and disseminate information on labour questions and general statistics of employment and secondly to act as a clearing house for the District Labour Bureaus.'

TWO: 30 May 1893. 2pp 4to.
