He is 'extremely sorry to learn from Mrs A's letter' that the recipient has been indisposed. Brougham could not have made the appointment suggested in A[rmstrong]'s letter as he was 'in the House of Lords every day except Wednesday'. He has received the document, but has not been able to look into the matter, 'so oppressed as I have been with business which could not be postponed'. He will be free to do so after the following Monday, and will write to A then. Postscript: 'In presenting the bills respecting penal statutes next week I may have an opportunity of renewing my protest agt the abuse in question'. From the papers of the family of the second wife of the geologist Alexander Henry Green (1832-1896), previously Miss Wilhelmina Maria Armstrong of Clifton.

Taking as his text a speech by Brougham 'vainly opposing the third reading of the Factories Bill, (1844)', Hardcastle gives his own view, concluding: 'It is scarcely too much to say that the step gained by the passing of Married Women's Property Act (1870) would be more than retraced; and a new force would be given to the argument urged against extending the suffrage to women, - that persons too helpless to be trusted to dispose of their own labour, cannot be trusted to make laws for the Empire.' Three copies on COPAC.

6pp., 12mo. In good condition, on lightly aged paper. Brodie's hand is not easy to decipher, but the letter is fulsome in its praise of Brougham and his latest work. Brodie begins by acknowledging the receipt of 'the last volume of Lord Brougham's Works published by you', a copy of which he had 'previously got as a subscriber'. He continues: 'In my poor apprehension it is even, if possible, superior to its predecessor, & more than justifies the character I formerly ventured to sketch of that illustrious individual', He continues in his praise, with reference to 'Dean Swift', 'Captn. Macheath and his associates' and 'Peachum'. In his view, never did a Lord Chancellor 'enjoy such popularity. But times are altered. The power of conferring favours is in other hands & all who expect patronage here, trouble at his resuming the vantage ground so greatly his due'. He continues with a discussion of the position of the press in the matter of Brougham's reputation. He concludes: 'Why do I trouble you with all this: - It is simply as an introduction to a statement that, did I know how to get it published, I should be proud & happy to down a notice or review of this volume.' In a postscript he claims to 'know the author of the article [reviewing the volume] in the N[orth]. British Review. It discloses of the spirit I have alluded to'.

In good condition, with thin strip from windowpane mount adhering to the blank reverse of the second leaf. Signed 'O Gordon' and addressed to 'Dear Mr Da [Qeue?]'. An interesting letter, full of content. He begins by thanking him for 'Ld Broughams letter which I have disposed of as directed'. He had 'some difficulty in making it out', but is 'glad to infer from it that there will be no war just now', although he is afraid 'there must be a feeling of humiliation which will be permanent in France when there is a permanent foreign minister (L[ouis]. N[apoleon]. himself) that will find some unpleasant expression hereafter'. He can 'hardly make out' what Brougham 'says of Goldwin Smith', but he gathers that he does not agree with him, 'that as a matter of principle and policy we ought to get rid of all our colonies at once. / As to letting them go peacably [sic] & with mutual good will, when they are of age, that is quite another thing.'.
