ref. 24956Both items signed ‘A. F. Shand’. 18 November 1907 and 16 February 1908. Both on letterhead of 1 Edwardes Place Kensington W. London. Shand is great-grandfather of Queen Camilla. His best-known work is 'The Foundations of Character' 1914. ONE: 18 November 1907. 4pp 16mo. Bifolium. Thirty-five lines. In good condition lightly aged. Folded for postage. Shand - who is weakened by ‘fever & cough’ and ‘too tired to think consecutively’ - thanks Burdett for his ‘very kind letter which was a real consolation to me in my bed’. His ‘argument about avarice was most interesting & I think I quite agree with it. Certainly “possession for its own sake” is the fixed intellectual principle of avarice & the passion rides through its emotions like such a principle through clamorous impulses.’ Though he feels that ‘the best course’ is that when he is better Burdett ‘will dine here & have a talk’ he does not ‘want to force my own theories forward - talk about any thing’. Burdett’s ‘appreciation’ was ‘so nice & to some people that does good because it encourages them to go on. To find the best you can do always contemned must be like the pain of so many poor women despised because their hands & service alone express love while their minds are formed on a plane so far below it.’ TWO: 16 February 1908. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. Twenty-six lines. In good condition lightly-aged but with closed tears at edges of both leaves along central fold for postage. Having read Burdett’s ‘paper on the last ten years of English literature’ he considers it ‘an excellent account. You have distinguished the different qualities of the writers so as to give the foreigner a clear idea of them’. Burdett’s style is not as undeveloped as he would expect in a young writer. ‘In the Johnsonian style I can truthfully say: it was natural without being vulgar & distinguished without being inflated.’ He urges him to ‘go on’ ‘weighing most critically your powers so as not to make the mistake that most of us do going off in wrong directions because we wish to be there & have been a little successful elsewhere’. Both items signed ‘A. F. Shand’. 18 November 1907 and 16 February 1908. Both on letterhead of 1 Edwardes Place, Kensington, unknown

ref. 18467Note on letterhead of the Junior Athenaeum Club 116 Piccadilly London . 18 November circa 1898 . Stewart's memorandum undated. The note and memo are on a 12mo bifolium. In good condition lightly-aged. The letter is signed 'A. J. Hall' and addressed to 'My dear Doctor'. He explains that he would gladly visit him 'if at liberty' but that he is 'at Wolverhampton that night with Madame Albani'. The biographical note presumably in Stewart's autograph is on the reverse of the second leaf of the bifolium beneath the following in red ink: 'Memo. by Dr. James Stewart "Sheamus Rua" Hon. Secy. Provl. of the Irish Medical Schools' & Graduates Associatn.' The note fills the page running to twenty-one lines and begins: 'The note on the opposite side was written by the great singer whose lovely voice has delighted thousands since the late rector of Middleton Co. Cork where his father was sexton of the protestant church was good enough to find the money to pay for his musical education.' Hall is said to be living 'almost altogether in California U.S.A.' The note contains a reference to an event in 1898 and the same date is added to Hall's note in pencil.

ref. 2431025 March no year but presumably during his period in Parliament from 1857 to 1869; 12 St James’s Place London. 3pp 12mo. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 25 March no year; 12 St James’s Place London. 3pp 12mo. On a bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged with thin strip cut from top of first leaf not affecting text. Signed ‘A W Kinglake’. The recipient is not named. Presumably writing during his period as Member of Parliament for Bridgewater between 1857 and 1869 he begins ‘My dear Sir / I shall make a pint of being present at the discussion of the Bill which threatens to make Charities liable to local assessment’. He has not considered the question enough to have arrived at a decision but has however seen enough ‘from the number of particulars which have been printed’ to assure him that ‘the imposition of this liability on Public Charities would occasion great inconvenience and dissatisfaction’. 25 March [no year, but presumably during his period in Parliament, from 1857 to 1869]; 12 St James’s Place [London]. 3pp, 12mo unknown

In good condition on lightly-aged paper. 46 lines of text in shaky English neatly written out. Lambert begins: 'Having been a long invested with the particular confidence of Mr. De Juigné Archbishop of Paris I take the liberty of giving a succinct account of the persecutions and misfortunes which this worthy Prelate has experienced for his Religion his King & his conscience; & the dreadful distress to which he is now reduced. I can with truth attest that Mr. J. archbishop of Paris in the Winter of 1788. gave to the poor of his Diocese almost all the money he had by him & afterwards sold his plate to enable him to continue his charities & finally bestowed the sum of twelve thousand pounds sterling to alleviate there sic distress.' He continues with reference to 'an attempt . to assassinate him in his carriages' 'at the end of the States-general held at Versailles' in 1789 after which 'he thought it prudent to fly' although this 'did not put an end to his persecution'. The Archbishop's travels Turin Nastadt Germany are described and he is stated at the time of writing to be at Constance 'where the first Prelate of France surrounded by several near relations is now in the greatest misery' 'having with him his two brothers with their families consisting of thirteen children'. He has lately been 'forced to sell the ornaments of his chapel to purchase bread for a part of his unfortunate family.' Without place or date.

Text: "It is delightful to read that August Manns conductor - see Wiki is still remembered. I was born within sight of the Crystal Palace and can even remember the great fire on one Sunday afternoon when part of the 'Tropical End' was burned to the ground. Those Courts with the fine casts of statues of all periods taught me how to look at their originals in many places. I wonder what has become of the two of the Venus de Milo; one with a hidden wedge of wood on her back and the other without that wedge which was only discovered when she was take to pieces & sent into the country for safety before the siege of Paris in 1869-70 It is not realised by the people who crowd orchestral concerts in these days that in the 'seventies there were very few - just the Philharmonic & the Crystal Palace until Richler Presumably Johann Baptist Isidor Richter came to London. At the Crystal Palace we heard many novelties and became familiar with much which is now old-fashioned. Sarasati played Tchaichovsky's sic Violin Concerto there during the life of the composer and we heard scraps of 'Parsifal'. How that choice murdered the Grail Music! Yours sincerely A.E.F. Horniman".
