The editor of this work Charlotte Elizabeth Tonna 1790-1846 was an evangelical Protestant social reformer particularly devoted to exposing poor factory conditions and improving the welfare of women and the poor. Writing under the name Charlotte Elizabeth she made "contributions to social reform literature and her use of the 'Christian Lady's Magazine' as a forum to influence politics through her female readers mark her as a significant nineteenth-century figure especially for other women social reform writers such as Harriet Beecher Stowe . . . and Elizabeth Gaskell." DNB Of particular note in our volume is an essay by Charlotte Elizabeth discussing the figure of Katherine Parr sixth wife of Henry VIII as a model of Protestantism and womanhood.

réf. 25479Between 27 July 1885 and 22 March 1886. All from Edgbaston Birmingham the second a letterhead. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. From the Piffard papers. A total of 9pp 12mo. The recipient is 'B. Piffard Esq.' and the letters are all signed 'Jesse Collings'. ONE: 27 July 1885. 2pp 12mo. He apologises for the delay in replying: 'I have been so over-pressed with Parliamentary and other work.' He will go into the matter of Piffard's letter at the 'Committee meeting of our Allotments & Small Holdings Association' that very day. 'We are waking up the Charity Commissioners to a great extent but it will be utterly impossible to do full justice to the rights of the people until the management of these charities and other mattes connected with the poor are placed in the hands of the new rural municipalities which I hope will be created as soon as a Liberal Government returns to power'. TWO: 10 December 1885. 3pp 12mo. The subject of the letter is 'the enclosures contemplated by Earl Brownlow' about which Piffard has sent him a newspaper cutting. 'If I could get a "brief" shortly stating the case I would see if there was any possibility of bringing the matter before Parliament': 'I do not know how I should raise the question but I would watch for some opening if I knew all the particulars of the case'. He informs him that 'The county elections are turning out exceedingly well and this means the beginning of the end of the power of the territorial Party. The action of our Allotments and Small Holdings Association is getting more and more powerful in the rural districts and we shall push it forward to the utmost extent.' THREE: 8 January 1886. 1p 12mo. Further thoughts on the subject of Letter Two. FOUR: 24 January 1886. 2pp 12mo. 'The matter seems a very unsatisfactory one and I should like to do anything within my power towards securing the popular rights if you could suggest anything. I have such an enormous amount of work on hand that it would be impossible for me to go through the matter and prepare a brief but if any short statement can be formulated bringing out the points I will ask some questions in Parliament on the subject. It seems monstrous that Lrods of the Manor should retain such powers while they have shuffled off all the obligations in which their supposed rights over land are founded.' FIVE: 22 March 1886. 1p 12mo. He is pleased to hear of the success which has attended Piffard's efforts both with regard to the Charity Commissioners and the enclosures.' He is returning Piffard's 'plan' and regrets that he is 'so fully occupied just now that I am sorry I am not able to take any special action in the matter'. Between 27 July 1885 and 22 March 1886. All from Edgbaston, Birmingham (the second a letterhead). unknown
réf. 2628317 January 1975; on letterhead of Goldsmith Building Temple EC4 London. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Dosse was the proprietor of Hansom Books publishers of ‘Books and Bookmen’ and six other arts magazines. 1 p 8vo. In good condition folded for postage. Addressed to ‘Mr. Dossé’ Dosse did not spell his name with an accent and signed ‘Louis Blom-Cooper’ the hyphen if hyphen it is consisting of a tiny dot. He is flattered by the request that he ‘contribute occasionally to Books & Bookmen’ and ‘in principle’ he is ‘very willing to review appropriate books’ having written ‘one or two reviews way back in the 1950s’. The only thing that causes him to hesitate is his ‘very limited time for much extra-curricular activity’ particularly at that moment. He will keep the book Dosse has sent ‘to await your reaction to my half-hearted agreement to review it’. 17 January 1975; on letterhead of Goldsmith Building, Temple, EC4 [London]. unknown
réf. 2642443 Berkeley Square "Friday Night". A note presumably in the recipient's hand states "London 14 July 1832. answered". Four pages 8vo bifolium some staining see image but all legible. "Tomorrow morning you will receive in George Street from the Librarian of the House of Lords copies of my two Protests and of Lord Wynford's Protest on the 3rd Reading of the English Reform Bill. I wiosh my Protests to be sent to the Editor of the Standard & Lord Wynford has commissioned me to send his also. Five of the Protests have already appeared in that Paper - which had expressed as I was informed a wish to have them & a readiness to publish them & any others that might be sent to the Editor. It is on this footing that these Protests must be sent. It must on no account appear - nor must a word be said to entitle the Editor to conclude - whatever he may suppose - that either Lord Wynford or I have anything to do with sending them. They must be conveyed to the Editor to publish - if he shall think fit phrase underlined - and must be sent in consequence of his expressing a wish to have & a readiness to publish the Protests. If he does not think fit to publish them he may let it alone & retyurn them. They are not to be paid for as advertisements or otherwise. If you are kind enough to undertake to forward them to the Paper - the Person who takes them may speak or it may bewritten but I should think not with a name in the following sense - that the Protests of Lords H & W are sent to the Standard by one who has reason to know that they are correct in consequence of the readiness expressed by the Editor to make known to the Public the Protests aginst the BILL- - and in consequence of several having already appeared. It might be as well to send them in time for tomorrows sic Evening Paper - or Mondays at furthest. I called in George Street today hoping to catch you before you left your office - but I was too late. I beg if you have any objection to undertaking this office - that you will make no scruple of delivering it. You will find that I could hardly send my Protests in my own name Believe me to be .". POSTSCRIPT They told me at the House of Lords that they were not sent from thence to the Papers. Their not having been sent long ago was very stupid. I hope you will make Dr Coventry understand how absolutely inappropriate it was for me or any one else to make any amendments in so difficult a matter at such a stage - without warning or preparation & in si=uch a House! phrase underlined It was quite out of the question. The thing must now work its own way - if possible to correct them - as they shew themselves in the working of this elaborate & complicated & machine; Should thge Librarian not have sent them to your office in due time - perhaps you will send to him for them. I wrote my name in my two Protests - it would be better to scratch that out." Note: "Lord Haddington went on to vote against the Reform Bill in 1831 but later changed his mind and voted for it in 1832 possibly due to the political crises surrounding its passage." Wikipedia 43 Berkeley Square, "Friday Night". A note presumably in the recipient's hand states "London 14 July 1832. ans[wered]". unknown
