Fotoporträtpostkarte (in: Die ganze Welt singt nur Amore, Rüdel) eigenhändig signiert.

One page, 4to, fold marks, good condition. Text: "Mr. Churchill desires me to thank you for the copy of your book on University Reform in London, which you have been good enough to send him.".

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The four items in good condition, lightly aged and worn, and all folded for postage. The last item with pin hole to one corner. The first three addressed to 'Dear Sir' and the last to 'Dear Fisher'. All four signed 'A C Lyall', both with and without periods after the initials. ONE (9 October 1888): 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. He acknowledges the 'list of lectures', which 'contains already several subjects connected with Indian religion, so that I am inclined to doubt whether any additional contribution that I could make will not be superflous.' Nevertheless, he asks questions about his 'rights over his paper, after it has been read', and 'the actual length of time which the lecture is expected to take up in delivery'. TWO (17 December 1888): 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. The 'proof of the Lecture List seems correct', and he suggests sending a dozen copies to his 'standing address' at Queen's Gate. He will 'defer replying definitively' with regard to the 'proposal that my manuscript shall be published in a volume'. He has been preparing the lecture, 'in rough notes, under the impression that the full manuscript, when filled out, would be at my own disposal for future use'. THREE (17 November 1895): 2pp, 12mo. The date that he suggests will suit Lyall 'very well for my lecture - so far as it is possible to engage ones' [sic] self for three months hence'. He has 'no experience of illustrations by the magic lantern', and does not know 'whether they would be procurable for a lecture on North India'. FOUR (23 April 1907): 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Begins: 'Dear Fisher, / It would be useless, I fear, to agree that you should give my name as a reference in connexion with your candidature for a Professorship of Commerical Law.' He explains why this is so, before stating: 'In regard to the offices you have held in India, no attestation from me is required, they can be verified from the Record of Service in the India List, and from other documents. / So I am obiged, with regret, to reply that I cannot comply with your request.'.…

Four pages, 12mo, good condition. "I have just received from Ceylon a formal evaluation of my coffee property. The sums stated ampount to £8471 & as there is upwards of 800 acres of uncleared forest which is valued at £2 peracre the whole amount will be upwards of £10,000. I send the paper in hopes it may enable your froiend [.] to effect a sale. His correspondent from Ceylon has enclosed a report "made by a Mr Simon Keir and Mr. George Hamilton Dundas" [Keir, Dundas & Co. were the "largest agency house" in Ceylon c.1850s"] He continues, " The sender of the Report is quoted as saying, "I would still strongly advise that you put up the whole place to auction, make the time of payment easy, and surely you will get this low estimation value". Maddock then discusses the possibilites for the nauture of the sale (instalments, half shares etc), "but I should prefer washing my hands of the troublesome speculator altogether and would only consent to a parnership with any one for the sake of the advantage of placing the management in the hands of one interested in the prosperity of the whole concern. | The expenses are now so much reduced that I trust if I am compelled to keep this property and no peculair misfortune happens next season like the deficiency of coolies last year and a visitation of the Bug this year that it will yield a considerable income. The field that suffered most from bug is said now to be showing a prospect of 100 bushels an acre." He asks to be referred to anyone who might help when he arrives in London." Note: Wikipedia describes this period as a golden age of investment and profit, etc, peaking in 1870.…

4pp, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded four times. Encouraged by Scott's response to his wife's letter, Taylor is 'encouraged to ask for yr. advice in the predicament in which we stand at present. My boy has made hardly any progress in the last term & stands only four fm. the bottom of the upper Fifth.' He explains that on a former occasion he was in favour of 'a change of house & of companions', but that 'the boy was exceedingly averse & I was induced by assurances of doing better to let him go back to Mr Arnold's'. He encloses a letter from Arnold [not present!], and asks whether Scott thinks that 'a beneficial change is practicable': 'Any change might be more or less beneficial, simply because it is a change, & new courses are more easily adopted under new circ[umstanc]es.' He discusses the possibility of 'some strengthening companionship'. He continues: 'Doing as ill as he does, I do not contemplate keeping him at Rugby beyond another term. He is now 17 1/2 yrs. of age. If he had done well I shd have sent him to one of the Universities; but as you observed in one of yr Letters to my wife, no good cd. come of that with no more disposition to get the good he can than has been shown at Rugby.' He considering 'making him a Civil Engineer. Industry of course is essential for success in that - but so of everything else; & something must be tried.' His assessment of his son's abilities is stark: 'He seems to have no particular aptitude for geometry & mathematics but I do not know anything useful & profitable for which he has any special aptitude. He has a love for music - he has a taste for literature - & some powers of expression in it - but so do I, & I do not think that my efforts in that way for 50 years have produced me one year's subsistence'. Taylor's son Henry Ashworth Taylor was for two decades a King's Messenger.…
