1897Manuscript Signed Letter, dated 21 January 1897, discussing matters pertaining to the settlement era of Perth, Western Australia. 8vo. Two double-leafs, 5 pages. Very good condition. Fascinating content such as a poverty, drought, general health issues in Perth from the conditions, problems of the homeless, and in contrast the increase in land values, and prospects for youngsters, The writer also talks of the Music Society and of singing the Messiah at Christmas. Written by M. Barigh of Havelock Street, her home located on a hill above the central town, who may have been a relative of Richard Henry Barigh, an immigrant to Australia, possibly originally as a convict. Excerpts from the letter: "Lately we have had a water famine and all day long the water is cut off but we fill a tank and so it does not cause us much inconvenience... We do not like W.A. half so much as N.Z. it is too hot and dry and this town is not healthy." "The place must have grown half since we came and building is going on all the time and the values of property increasing - our land cost about four pounds a foot and a lady has just bought this piece adjoining ours and given over eleven pounds for it and thinks she has got it cheap." "There are scores of people here with nothing who a little while since in Melbourne were living in luxury." End Excerpts. Perth had only been established since 1829. In 1850, Western Australia was opened to convicts at the request of farming and business people looking for cheap labour. Queen Victoria announced the city status of Perth in 1856.

rif. 2224423 November 1832; Nottingham. Despite the four years 1840-1844 Howitt spent in the colony with his brother the entomologist Godfrey Howitt 1800-1873 the present letter has nothing to do with Australia. The letter is addressed to the editors of 'The Aurora Borealis: A Literary Annual edited by Members of the Society of Friends'. This periodical was the work of a group of Quakers in Newcastle-upon-Tyne with George Atley Brumell 1800-1877 one of the founding editors. Another of those involved was Joseph Watson 1807-1874 named in the letter's address. Howitt as the present letter reveals was one of a number of prominent Quakers to contribute. Only one number of the periodical was published under the title 'The Aurora Borealis' in Newcastle and London in 1833; but the following year a second number appeared with the title 'The Friends' Annual; or Aurora Borealis for 1834'. No other numbers were published. The University of Illinois holds a collection of manuscripts relating to the magazine. 3pp 4to. Bifolium addressed with remains of seal in red wax on reverse of second leaf to 'Editors of the “Aurora Borealis” Care of Joseph Watson St. Nicholas' Church-yard Newcastle-Upon-Tyne.' Signed 'Richard Howitt.' In fair condition lightly aged and worn with closed tears to second leaf repaired with strips of paper. The recto of the first leaf is filled with the first six of the seven five-line stanzas of the poem with the page headed 'Esteemed Friends Editors of the “Aurora Borealis”'. The seventh stanza is on the reverse of the leaf at the head of the second page. Each of the seven stanzas of the poem ends with the refrain 'The Aurora Borealis'. The poem is unpublished and the first and last stanzas give an indication of its tone. The first reads: 'Now the days are dark and dreary Now the nights are long and weary Very welcome very cheery With the glory it doth trail – is The Aurora Borealis.' The last stanza reads: 'Blessings on ye for the blessing! Tome of many a heart's caressing - Past a homely bard's expressing Balm of many a bosom's bale – is The Aurora Borealis.' The letter itself begins without salutation after the last stanza at the head of the second page and Howitt himself concedes the mediocre nature of his poem: 'So far – not “so good” - but “so long.” To speak plain truth – setting aside poetry - “poets are such liars and take all colours like the hands of dyers” says Lord Byron yet in plain prose I have been much pleased with uyour little tome.' He comments approvingly on some of the volume's contributions before continuing: 'I must confess that when I first met with the title of the book in the Public Prints it struck me as flashy and unsubustantial – and I believe I expressed my feeling to be such – but the work itself has altered my opinion.' The volume has however left him with some 'dissapointment': 'I hoped to meet with an Essay from Thomas Knott and with a Poem of Montgomery's – if not with one from the pen of the great Lake Poet Wordsworth. And I have also vainly sought for something with Thomas Wilkinson's signature.' The editors have 'so many gems' that Howitt's own contributions to the volume 'shrink into comparative significance'. He does not blame them 'for making the last line of Eventide if more correct less vigorous. If I remember right it was “To feeling and to slinking hearts.” Many would prefer the line as it is printed but I would turn from the many to the few – and I have Wordsworth on my side of the question – He says – not “thinking minds” - but “To pipe a simple song for thinking hearts.” He ends with the gentle reproof: 'I perceive another or two verbal variations not of any consequence – but they would have been as well as they were.' He was also borther to William and Mary Howitt both writers. 23 November 1832; Nottingham. unknown
rif. 12112'H.M.S. Tauranga at Sea' undated but presumably on HMS Tauranga's maiden voyage to Australia 1890. 13pp. 12mo. On three bifoliums and a last single leaf. On aged and worn paper. A semi-literate but spirited epistle. Little is to be discovered concerning the identity of the writer. Addressed to 'My Darling Son' and signed 'good bye be good ever yours and yours alone William Kay' but with a few hints that the letter may not in fact be from a father to his son. Kay begins by stating that he is going to fulfil his promise and write 'a long letter'. Of the journey he writes: 'its not particularly rough but its the speed we are going that makes her roll we are now steaming past Deal at the rate of 19.8. so you can judge the rate we are going . we are ripping as the sailors call it. She's a very good sea boat so far. Shes alright down below but on deck oh my she simply washes down fore and half so we stay down below as much as we can. We had it rough last night off lands end but she behaved very well you would laugh if you were here we were standing on the forecastle last night watching her capers and a big fat wave came and washed us out of it she doesnt attempt to jump over them but she simply plunges right through it You ought to of seen us we was like a lot of drownded rats and then their was a yell how do you like Her.' He reports that 'we have a lot of young Blue Jacket sailor Boys on board we are going to take them out to Australia and I pittied them last night they were all sick and one of our little drumer sic Boys was that bad we had to take him to the Doctor in fact we thought he was going to roll up but he's alright now of course it doesnt effect us old seadogs'. He reports that the ship is going to Grimsby and Hull and then Torquay. He declares 'I shant kiss anybody else Annie Glenister ask me for one when I was at home but I wouldnt giver her one she said it was to bad of me she said if it was Lou Blane you wouldnt say no Not I. why should I you had better answer that one day when I was in No. 9 Union terrace the two annies got me down in the dressmaking shop and both of them kissed me what cheek but didnt I pay them out for it I got annie J. Down and capsized all her dressmaking gear all over her'. Docketed 'Very last letter. From on board ship.' HMS Tauranga was an Pearl-class Royal Navy cruiser built by J. & G. Thomson Glasgow and originally named HMS Phoenix. She was launched on 28 October 1889 and was renamed Tauranga as part of the Auxiliary Squadron of the Australia Station on 2 April 1890 arriving in Sydney with the squadron on 5 September 1891. She saw service during the Samoan civil war in 1899 and spent between 1901 and 1903 in reserve at Sydney before being assigned to the New Zealand division of the Australia Station. She left the Australia Station on 14 December 1904 and was sold for scrap in July 1906. 'H.M.S. Tauranga at Sea' [undated, but presumably on HMS Tauranga's maiden voyage to Australia, 1890]. unknown
