Of course, no one can say what such rare items as a Bellflower "milk pitcher," an extra large covered compote in Thumbprint, or blue Daisy and Button tumblers are worth to you, but Mrs. Lee does define the limits of intrinsic value.

More than 2,000 items in 280 patterns are priced. If you are collecting, you can find out here what you should fairly pay; what prices are ridiculous.

Four pages, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on aged paper, with small pinholes to both leaves and slight loss at the head of the second. Substantial first part of long letter, and hence lacking the signature. BBTI has Trelawny [for Trelawney] William Saunders at 6 Charing Cross between 1846 and 1853, and Edward Stanford's entry in the Oxford DNB records that he was an apprentice there, returning as partner in 1852 ('The partnership was dissolved by mutual consent in July 1853.'), and that it was Saunders who proposed Stanford for membership of the Royal Geographical Society. A good association and a scarce example of Saunders' handwriting, which has been verified by comparison with a specimen (which will be included with the item) in the Royal Geographical Society archives. Saunders begins by expressing his 'unfeigned respect' for Mangles' 'firm & unconquerable efforts towards the production of so grand & entire a work as "The Illustrated Geography & Hydrography," of which I have received prospectuses from the Geographic[a]l. Society on Wednesday'. (Mangles published a 'Synopsis' with London publisher John Bumpus in 1848, but there is no record that the work itself was ever published.) Saunders hopes he will not be thought 'presumptuous', or acting 'from interested motives', when he states that he has 'read through all your prospectuses with avidity & am now anxious to learn something more of your fine work, and as there is no publication name mentioned, nor any other person referred to for enquiries, I have taken the liberty of addressing you directly'. He hopes Mangles will admit, on reading the enclosed 'short address', that Saunders is also 'employing the humble capacity in which providence has placed me, to promote the study of Geography'. The prospectus of Saunders' unidentified work 'has only been printed a few days', but he has 'already obtained such support, as encourages me to persevere in the plan I have laid down'. He hopes before long that there will be 'a depot in this great centre of geographic enterprise where the maps of & from all countries y be readily obtained. The pursuit of a science which requires an accumulation of materials for its successful development must be dilatory, while the means of supplying & procuring such material is confined to private societies, or scattered amongst innumerable establishments, each having a conflicting interest.' He praises Mangles' 'unique work', which he will promote, in the hope that 'the addition of my name to the splendid "Physical Atlas" [by Alexander Keith Johnston (1804-1871)] of which i enclose a prospectus, will be esteemed as one mark in my favour.' As he does not want to allow 'feelings of restraint' to curb him in communicating with Mangles on the subject, he is glad his 'person is unknown to me, inasmuch as a previous connection in our respecti positions in society would no doubt have imbued me with an idea of distance, the chains of which would now gall me excessively.' Before the letter breaks off, Saunders discusses Mangles' intention 'to divide the whole globe into sections, just like England is divided in the maps of the Ordnance Survey, with the addition of Hydrographic detail along the shores & at sea, & both variations in scale suited to the peculiar exigencies of this undertaking'. He is not sure from the prospectus whether 'you contemplate this happy continuity & oneness of plan, though I doubt not such is your intention'. The letter ends abruptly at the foot of the fourth page, with the incomplete sentence: 'Is it not possible to describe the Hydrographic portion in continuance of the Geographic, so as to avoid '. Note: None of his letters listed on the NRA, but A2A records correspondence [as "Trelawny", confusingly] at the RGS, and has other material illustrating Saunders' importance in the history of map-making and exploration, contributions ranging from "Saunders' official map of the Australian Gold Country" to the map in "Stray leaves from an Arctic journal, or, Eighteen months in the polar regions : in search of Sir John Franklin's expedition, in the years 1850-51 / by Sherard Osborn".

Letter One, 4 Jan. 1941, two pages, 4to,fold marks, good condition. He's been asked about The Miscellany which never appeared. He avoids the subject and goes on to discuss his involvement with the book Trade Winds (Christopher Morley and Old Q's Almanac) and an eccentricity of Morley's ("the exact date of the vernal equinox" so that he can sell a copy of the book no matter if open shop at 3a.m.). He intends to edit a letter from Guthrie for "the Miscellany". He continues, "The letters that I receive from England continue to be astounding. The magnificent courage of teh English, in the face of the terror and the destruction that I have witness [sic] in the newseels, is somethting too great to be expressed in words". He asks about the reception of the President's speech which represented the general view. The letter tails off with New Year's wishes etc.; Letter Two, 27 February 1941, three pages, 4to, good condition. He ex[plains how many copies he makes of letters, and his exoresses astonishment that "all books we have ordered since the War started have been safely received.". He then comments on the "fire raod" that led to so much desruction of publishers' stocks ("millions of books destroyed [.] but the spirit of the men who printed those cannot be destroyed"). He discusses his policy of over-buying books from England. He is rearranging the look of his stock and culling it of those tht havene't sold. He mentions the effects of flu on staff, and he has been working of Trade Winds.Then he mentions his working habits (dictation at night etc), followed by a critique of a Ford Madox Ford novel, then quoting "Low Sarrett's Requiem for a Modern Croesus", claiming that he doesn't disoarage wealth. He would welcome it. "But love of wealth must be tempered with a love of wit, or life is barren". He takes his leave.…

2pp., 4to. Bifolium. Addressed on reverse of second leaf, with two postmarks (one of Pimlico), to 'R. Ackermann Esqre | 101. Strand -'. On aged and worn paper, with one short closed tear. A good letter, full of content revealing of Ackermann's business and the art trade in general. The first paragraph reads: 'I am extremely sorry the last Fashions have not met your approbation. The inflamed state of my eye rendered it impossible for me to engrave them myself, and I calculated on the known talent of Mr. Chsman [i.e. Thomas Cheesman (1760-1834)] to be my substitute. I lament much that he has failed, and quite ashamed he should have returned the drawings so very dirty for which I hold my pupil [i.e. his eye, not his student] much to blame. My eye is now much better and I trust in future to do them myself and give you that gratification which has given stability to our long friendship Believe me ever zealous to fulfil your commissions however difficult I may find them sometimes to execute.' The second paragraph concerns 'the head of the King Modelled by Pistrucci' (i.e. George IV's initial coinage bust), which Agar asked 'Mr. Gindall' to tell Ackermann about. He suggests that he 'had better write or call on Vendramini in Brompton Row and learn the direction and further particulars - He [i.e. Pistrucci] is in hot water at the Mint but that may make no difference should you like the head - it was modelled immediately from the King, and Vendramini promised it if I would undertake to engrave it -'. He ends by reporting that he 'drank tea with Mr. Morant of Bond Street', whom he thinks 'would lend you some of his prints or pictures for your intended publication should you be still in the same mind'. The publication he is referring to is the first of the literary annuals, The Forget-Me-Not, first published in 1823.…
