réf. 7310Date and place not stated. 12mo: 8 pp. Leaf dimensions 18 x 11.5 cm. Unbound. Stitched as issued. Good on lightly-aged paper with foxing to first page. Complete: paginated 1 to 8 and with 'Finis.' at the end. The full title reads 'Lines Drawn and ornamentally inscribed on a White Silk Riband with which and many other complimentary tributes of the same description the Editor was decorated at an entertainment given to him and a large party of noble friends by the Baron and Baroness Von Sass at their seat of Tadaiken in the Duchy of Courland on 21st November 1790 on his entering into the 14th year of his age.' The Oxford DNB taking its lead from Tooke's obituary in the Gentleman's Magazine gives his birth date as 22 November 1777. The four lines of French verse referred to in the title are ascribed to 'Louise Sass 19 Nov. 1790.' Five pages describe the origin of the association of 'the Editor' i.e. Tooke with the 'noble family' of Sass beginning in St. Petersburg where Took's father William Tooke the elder 'the then Chaplain to the British Factory' 'was the delight and the ornament . of every social circle'. The account ends with a list of the 'guests and their families attending or invited on the occasion'. Followed by a short article pp. 5-6 on the Bloomsbury Inns of Court Association described as a 'Rifle-movement'. Tooke reproduces a letter to him by George Bramwell. The last two pages 7-8 reproduce a poem entitled 'M. M. M. Lines by an Ancestor of the Editor in explanation of the above initials. A key to the Hedgehog combatant and my motto Militia Mea Multiplex. M. M. M. By George Tooke Esq. of Popes Herts'. Long footnote by William Tooke on the subject. An excessively scarce piece of 'Tookiana' a phrase employed in Tooke's Gentleman's Magazine obituary: no copy listed in the British Library catalogue on COPAC or on WorldCat. Date and place not stated. unknown
réf. 22169St Petersburg Russia. 17 September 1884. 3pp. 4to. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged with slight traces of glue from mount along inner edge of reverse of second leaf which is endorsed and carries pencil notes. Folded once. Signed by Thornton with the rest of the document in the hand of a secretary. The recipient is named as T. W Smyth Esq West Hartlepool Shipowners Society'. He writes with reference to a letter and telegram and states that he has been 'making constant representations to the Russian Acting Minister of the Interior with regard to the hardship and severity of the fourteen days quarantine imposed upon vessels arriving from Italy at Russian Ports of the Black Sea notwithstanding their having already performed ten days quarantine in Turkish waters'. None of Thornton's arguments have 'succeeded in inducing the Imperial Government to counterorder or relax this excessive quarantine' but the subject is 'still under the consideration of the Medical Board' and Thornton will not discontinue his 'efforts on behalf of British Shipping'. See Thornton's entry in the Oxford DNB. St Petersburg [Russia]. 17 September 1884. unknown
