A useful background guide is Geoffrey Russell Searle's 'Country before Party: Coalition and the Idea of "National Government' in Modern Britain, 1885-1987' (London, 1995). As the manuscripts in this collection indicate, Cuming Walters cherished the idea of a national party from the 1890s, and he was able to re-use material from that period on the formation of the National Party in 1920 (not to be confused with the party of the same name, a pamphlet relating to which is present, dating from 1917). The collection is in fair condition, with most items lightly-aged and worn, but with one or two with slight loss and damage. ONE: Corrected Autograph Manuscript Draft of unpublished paper by J. Cuming Walters: 'A National Party'. Dated 'October, 1890'. 35pp., 12mo. Heavily revised. TWO: Part of later corrected Autograph Manuscript Draft of Item One by J. Cuming Walters.

Cuming Walters: 'The Need of a National Party | A Lecture delivered at the Ladywood Conservative Club, October 8th., 1890, by J. Cuming Walters'. [2] + 14pp., 12mo. Heavily revised, with numerous deletions. Introductory 'Note' by 'J. C. W.': 'Very hastily written, but not hastily conceived, this Lecture can only claim attention for any new ideas it may contain, & not for the manner in which they are expressed. I have tried to speak plainly and without fear; & I only ask in return that the plain issues should be considered & criticised. To the members of the Ladywood Conservative Club, for whom it was written & who received it so cordially, this Lecture is dedicated.' FOUR: Galley proofs of both parts of article 'Political Ideals. Why not a National Party? By an Ex-M.P.' [1911.] Initialled at head of first part by Cuming Walters, with autograph note: 'Uncorrected Proof'. FIVE: Newspaper cutting of 'Political Ideals. Why not a National Party? By an Ex-M.P.' Manchester City News, 11 February 1911. SIX: Five pages of manuscript start of article 'Political Ideals | Why not a National Party? | By an Ex-M.P.' In Cuming Walters' hand, and with instructions by him to printers. With a three miscellaneous autograph leaves, letterhead of the Manchester Evening Chronicle, card addressed to Cuming Walters. SEVEN: Pamphlet: 'The National Party to promote Reform, Union and Defence. A Statement of Policy.' Published by The Provisional Committee of The National Party, at 22, King Street, St. James', London, S.W.1. [1917] 15pp., 8vo. Stapled.

The editorial begins: 'As was generally anticipated, the dinner to Mr. Winston Churchill last night possessed great political significance. Mr. Churchill, who had just returned from a long conference with the Prime Minister, delivered a carefully prepared speech in which he dilated on the necessity of forming a permanent Centre Party out of the elements of the present Coalition. Sir George Younger for the Unionists and Captain Guest for the Coalition Liberals associated themselves with the views expressed by Mr. Churchill.'
