See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Twenty-six lines of text, in a close and disciplined hand. Signed 'Henry. E C. Archbp'. In fair condition, lightly aged, with small dap of light red ink at head of last page. Folded once. Begins: 'the Guardians of the Poor. Not a Catholic Child would they give up 24 years ago. Now all the 33 Boards give us our Children, & give us their maintenance out of the Rates. They Visit our Schools and are perfectly content: & we are on the fairest & friendliest terms. What has been done here may be done every-where, and with greater ease for here the children were in their Schools. In Parish Schools the children are in their own homes & a little help from the rate would be 1/3 of the maintenance of each child.' In the following paragraph he discusses the recipient's 'point' with regard to 'the entrance of women into politics', which he believes 'is the beginning of confusion & will end in chaos'. He feels the same about 'Girton & Girl graduates'. He is free from illness, 'but shut up for the winter'. Postscript: 'I send you a perfect copy of the Fifty Reasons'.

Three quarter profile portrait, 6 1/2 x 4 1/4 inches. Additonally inscribed on the verso: "Peace and blessing in all things, always and in all hands. H.E.C.A" A striking portrait of Cardinal Manning, one of the most influential clergyman in 19th century England. Henry Edward Manning (1808-1892) rose through the ranks of the Anglican church to become Archdeacon of Chichester before famously converting to Catholicism in 1851 as his colleague Cardinal Newman had done before him. In 1865 Manning was appointed Archbishop of Westminster, the de facto head of the Catholic Church in England, and in 1875 he was created Cardinal. His emphasis on social justice and his open-door policy made him a popular figure in London, and "the scenes at his funeral on 21 January [1892] and the crowds that thronged the streets for the 4 miles between the Brompton Oratory and Kensal Green cemetery (where he was buried) had no precedent, it was observed, since the death of the first duke of Wellington . He believed passionately that Christians of different communions could and should learn from one another, and should be prepared to work together in endeavours of 'practical Christianity', as he himself demonstrated in his co-operation with nonconformists and the Salvation Army to save men's bodies as well as their souls. Finally, in the course of his archiepiscopate he taught his fellow Catholics that the time had come for them to emerge from the twilight and to show themselves as a powerful pressure group, whose interests and concerns could not be ignored. If they doubted their ability to do so, they had only to witness the example of his own life" (ODNB). From the collection of Lady Samuel Captioned "His Eminence / Cardinal Manning" in print in lower margin above imprint, studio stamp to verso.

6pp., foolscap 8vo. On two grey-paper bifoliums. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper. Docketted by Wiseman on the reverse of the last leaf: 'Dr Manning's Mem[orandu]m to Walpole on Reform[ator]ies'. The document (presumably copied by Wiseman expressly for Manning) is addressed to 'The Right Hon. Spencer Walpole M.P.', and is complete to the valediction, but unsigned. It begins: 'Sir | I beg leave to lay before you a subject of much importance affecting the Reformatory School for Catholic Boys at Brook Green, Hammersmith which is under my direction. | Being duly certified by the Secretary of State in accordance with the recent acts of Parliament the School is under the inspection of the Inspector of Reformatory Schools, the Revnd. Sidney Turner. | Of that gentleman's courtesy and consideration in all transactions I have had with him I desire to bear my full testimony, and at the outset to state that nothing on his part affords to me the motive of this communication.' The letter concerns an inspection by an inspector on behalf of the Committee of Privy Council on Education: 'it has been intimated that the Inspector would not personally examine Catholic boys in their religious instruction, but that such an examination might be conducted by proper persons in his presence. | This however only masks the difficulty. The ultimate judgment as to the sufficiency and character of such religious instruction is thereby still vested in the Inspector. | I forbear from drawing out in detail the obvious anomalies and inconveniences which must arise from such a practice, because I believe them to be self-evident. I am only anxious to state that to the manager of such Catholic Reformatory Schools these anomalies and inconveniences involve a principle which they are precluded in conscience from accepting.' As a consequence he proposes 'an easy mode of removing the difficulty a mode satisfactory I trust to Her Majesty's Government also, as affording a full guarantee for the due religious instruction of such R. Cathol. Reformatory Schools'. Manning's appeal is unlikely to have been met with sympathy. According to The Times (23 May 1898), Walpole had a lifelong reputation 'as a zealous protestant prone to detect Jesuitism and kindred dangers in unsuspected quarters'. From the Wiseman papers.
