Aggiungi al carrelloSee his entry in the Oxford DNB. Six items. Items Two and Five in fair condition, somewhat creases; the other four items in good condition, lightly aged and worn. ONE: Autograph fair copy of speech by Read on behalf of his 'fellow-members on the [Second] Colonial Office Conference' [1930] to the British Empire League and the Bri…tish Empire Club. Apparently unpublished. Unsigned. 5pp, 12mo. On bifolium and single leaf, both with letterhead of Government House, Mauritius. Undated, but since Read was transferred to the Colonial Office in 1889, a reference in the speech to his having 'entered the Colonial Office more than 40 years ago' indicates that the it was made at the 1930 conference rather than the 1927 one. The Colonial Office List of 1946 gives a useful account of the conference, which was held in June and July 1930, with twenty-seven 'Overseas Governments' represented. Read begins his speech: 'Lord Stradbroke, my Lords & Gentlemen / on behalf of my fellow members on the Colonial Office Conference I desire to thank the Br[itish]: Emp[ire]: League & the Br[itish]: Emp[ire]: Club very warmly for having invited us here to-night & also for having made us Honorary Members of the Club during the session of the Conf[eren]ce.' After noting that 'the Club had been established as a memorial to my old chief, the late Sir Robert Herbert - that great public servant who was beloved & revered by all who had the good fortune to know him', he continues: 'I believe that it was Lord Durham who said that our Colonial Empire had been founded in a fit of absent-mindedness & fostered by a salutary neglect. If that be so the Empire appears to have lost all trace of that origin to-day, for never before has its development been pressed forward with fuller purpose & the existence of Societies like your own sufficiently testifies to the deep interest which is being taken by the people of this country in its progress. And what a marvellous progress that has been.' He describes the changes which have taken place since he joined the Colonial Office, including the observation that 'in W. Afr[ica]: our possessions consisted for the most part of narrow strips of a fever-stricken coast, there was no Rhodesia, & that richest of all countries, the Malay Peninsula, was an undeveloped estate.' 'But, my Lords & Gentlemen, the Empire is a living thing &, like all things that live, it must grow or it must decay. [.] which path the Empire is to take depends, as it has never depended in any other Empire before, on the unfettered choice of the masses of its citizens. Their will is supreme and there is not graver responsibility than that of instructing & finding it aright.' He ends by describing the 'important and honourable part' the British Empire League can play in the 'great task' of 'maintaining that great League of Free Nations, known as the Br[itish]: Empire, which is to-day the most potent instrument of good both for ourselves & for mankind.' The ends, in his own name and that of his fellow guests, by wishing 'all success & prosperity to the Br: Empire League.' TWO: Autograph copy of speech by Read 'On Lord Linlithgow's app[ointmen]t. to be Chairman of the Imp[erial]: Coll[ege]: of Sc[ience]: & Tech[nolog]y. 16 Nov/34' [i.e. 1934]. Unsigned. 1p, 4to. On thin creased paper. Twenty-three lines of text with one correction. Begins: 'My Lord Marquis, / I have been allotted the agreeable duty of welcoming you here to-day on behalf of the Governing Body of the Imp: Coll: of Sc: & Techgy.' After the usual courtesies he states that 'The Governing Body includes not only representatives of important interests in this country but also representatives of the Empire overseas, and in any efforts which may be made to perfect the organization or to extend the activities of this great Institution, your Lordship can rely upon their whole-hearted support. You may count also on the support of a scientific staff which is probably unequalled and certainly unsurpassed by that of any similar institution whether in this country or elsewhere'. He continues in much the same vein. THREE: Lady Read's commonplace book. Ownership inscription on front free endpaper: 'Violet K. Read / March 1924.' Ruled 4to volume, bound in patterned red cloth. Autograph quotations on eleven pages, from individuals including Charles Dickens, Sir Francis Bacon, Napoleon, Lord Rosebery. Headings: Valour; Empire; Imagination; Peace; Children; Religion. FOUR: Autograph memorandum by Lady Read beginning: 'Lady Read is writing this in case Miss Baker is not in when she calls this morning'. Unsigned. 2pp, 8vo. Continues: 'Lady Read has been much disturbed at the health of Gladys Ingram (Miss Baker's niece) who for the last few weeks has shewn [sic] that her nerves are much upset.' FIVE: Autograph copy of speech by Lady Read addressed to 'Lady Manning[,] Ladies'. Unsigned. With two deletions. 2pp, 4to. Twenty-one lines. Begins: 'Voicing the feeling of all members of the Forum Club in saying how pleased we are to welcome Lady Tilley to this lunch today. / She is welcome not only because of the prestige which will be conferred & club [sic] by one who has been the gracious hostess in the British Embassy in Brazil & Japan'.

Aggiungi al carrello7pp., 12mo. In India Office envelope, addressed by Frere to 'The Rt. Revd. | The Lord Bishop of Winchester | 17 Devonshire Place | W.' In good condition, on lightly-aged paper. In the event that he is unable to attend the meeting ('as I have an engagt. for 3 o'clock at Marlborough House') he asks the Bishop to 'mention - if you…think proper - how entirely I agree with the view taken by Mr. Jacob & that I think £2,000 to each Bishopric is the least wh. S.P.G. shd. offer.' In Frere's view 'the meeting will have the power of deciding whether efficient episcopal supervision shall be provided for those two great Provinces, the Punjab & Burmah; or whether this shall be indefinitely postponed.' He explains regarding a plan on the matter put forward twenty years before by the Bishop of Exeter: 'The great Mutiny occurred & all action was postponed for 20 yrs.' The letter proceeds with a discussion of 'the kind of Bishop Ld. Salisbury proposes', with Frere dividing his analysis into four lettered sections, with the first (and shortest) reading: '(a) the exact kind of Bishop wh. Bishops Cotton & Milman contemplated'. Frere considers 'that what is described as a Miss[onar]y. Bishop must be more or less a class Bishop or a caste Bishop'. He concludes in the hope that 'S. P. G. will be true to its own old lines of principle & action & not, in hunting after vain shadows lose the substantial advantage of the creation of two manageable sees'.

[] the discomforts were many, particularly the lack of water which made washing out of the question once or twice. I am now off again to climb hills & build beacons all over the place. [] It is very hot here now and unhealthy; great many natives down with fever & the DC every other day. Personally I feel quite fit though at times very warm & limp in the march.' He responds with (playful?) indignation to criticism by her: 'I want to know in what way I am getting as African as all the rest. Terrible discovery to find oneself a cold sort of pagan chief as a confirmed friend of everything black & savage after one has been trying to remain more or less civilised.' He 'saw a lion the other day but having only a shot gun I did not care to tackle it. With his rifle I shall hope to do some destruction, especially as I have got instructions to collect "ticks" off lions, leopards & other animals for medical researches & before I do so I intend killing Him because a lion might protest against such familiar handling.' He is enclosing a photograph of 'the D[istrict]. C[ommissioner]. & myself (on the mule) starting off on what we called our punitive expedition to a German missionary'. He is 'now going to ride over to another Missionary, also German, to lunch to day. A great advantage about this missionary is that he keeps beer; the other one only keeps water. I must say we are lucky to have Germans in the District, they are much more reasonable than any others & study the natives more in consequence of which they don't develope [sic] the black brother creed.' Other topics include: 'The Baby', her decision to take a house in London, the lack of communication from 'Dad' ('he might take more notice of his children postage is only one penny to here'), the election, Pylewell; with references to Ingham, 'Dick', 'Harry', Finn. From the papers of the Harington baronets of Ridlington.

Text reads: 'Sir, / I have had under my consideration the evils which have been experienced in some of the West Indian Colonies, but more extensively, still, in the Island of Mauritius, from the unsteady habits of certain classes of Immigrants. I have addressed to the Governor of Mauritius a Dispatch, in which I have suggested the adoption of a system in respect to Coolie Immigrants, which appears to me to be calculated to meet these evils, and to be applicable also to the case of Coolie or any other Immigrants introduced into the West Indian Colonies, otherwise than at their own Cost. I transmit to you herewith a Copy of this Dispatch, and I request you to consider it as embodying the principles of regulation in this matter, which, if the Colonial Legislatures should be disposed to adopt, Her Majesty's Government would be prepared to sanction.'

Aggiungi al carrelloone-page folio. (horizontal folds, paper lightly embrowned). matted & framed (size of frame: 31.8 x 20.3 cm. x 36.8 cm.; 12.5 x 8 inches). Memorial of Lieut. Col. Thomas Desbrisay relating to an unpaid debt owed to Dan Grandin, a court lawyer who acted on his behalf in cases against two of his tenants. Desbrisay was a major land… speculator in the colony, buying up large tracts of land even before taking up his office ten years after his appointment as Lieutenant-Governor. He first attempted to recruit settlers in Ireland before the British government forbade the practice in 1773. Despite charges by the Governor, Walter Patterson, that he had attempted to interfere in the proper allocation of colonial funds and was unfit to hold office, and the fact that he had swindled prospective settlers by selling them land he had mortgaged, he was not removed from office. Once arrived in St. John's, he granted some 400 crown lots in Charlottetown Royalty, including many to himself and his family. Still he remained Lieutenant-Governor even after he and the others were forced to surrender land to the Crown. With the reorganization of the colonial administration in 1784 the office of governor of StJohn's Island was eliminated, and Patterson replaced Desbrisay as Lieutenant Governor.
