Hardcover. 192 pages. A 19th century advertising parody, first published in 1824. 'The book purported to contain ringing endorsements of the well-known manufacturer of blacking (i.e. boot polish), Robert Warren, by many of the leading literary figures (Byron, Coleridge, Scott and Wordsworth amongst them) and journals (Blackwood's, John Bull, the New Monthly) of the day. It was the work of the precocious twenty-four year old London journalist William Frederick Deacon. The book offers a series of agile and vivacious parodies of a wide range of Romantic period writing: poetry, essays, literary and political journalism, historiography, sermons, parliamentary reports and scholarship and yet . . . it has been neglected, ignored even by historians of Romantic parody.'--John Strachan, The Praise of Blacking, Romanticism on the Net 15, August 1999. Second American edition. A truly near fine copy that belies its 160 years. Publisher's brown cloth, with gilt at the spine. Publisher's catalog dated March 1851 tipped to the front free endpaper.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged, and with slight discoloration to corners of second leaf from previous mounting. Folded once for postage. With large firm signature. Begins: 'My dear Annie, / Please accept my best thanks for your kind present of a pair of slippers on the anniversary fo my birthday, & especially for your kindness of thinking of me.' He comments on his improved health since the previous year, the long time since their last meeting, and his anticipation of their next. Concludes: 'With best love to [Dillun?], I am, / Your affecte Father / Wm. Smith.'.…

See the entries for Stanley and Smith in the Oxford DNB, the former drawing attention to Stanley's 'execrable handwriting'. 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Nineteen lines of text. Addressed to 'My dear "Dictionary" ', and signed 'A P Stanley', but with much of what comes in between only deciperable with effort: '[.] salutation [.] addressing [.] Could you do anything for the enclosed? I know nothing beyond what the writer says of himself - & Duckworth's recommendation of him which I also enclose. Duckworth (whose acquaintance I should be much obliged if you would make [.] a very pleasant neighbour) will possibly be able to give you more information, if you need it'. Accompanied by a twentieth-century note in pencil identifying the recipient as Sir William Smith, and quoting The Times, 16 July 1949, with regard to Stanley's handwriting.…

Coleridge was the nephew of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. See his entry, and that of Cranworth, in the Oxford DNB. The letter relates to Palmerston's first ministry. 1p, 16mo (cut down to a 12 x 10 cm piece of wove paper). In fair condition, lightly aged and discoloured, with traces of glue from mount adhering to one edge of blank reverse. Signing himself 'J. T C', Coleridge writes: 'My dear Awdry / I have been with the Chancellor in consequence of the above - & promised to send him a minute in writing - where we have had trouble. Can you help me with your recollection. / In haste. / Yours ever / J. T C'. The context is partially explained by seven lines from a letter in Cranworth's autograph surviving on the reverse: '[.] am told that you can give me some hints as to parts of the bill not working well - or not likely to work well - When can I see you - Could you look in at the house of Lords tomorrow [.]'.…

In addition to the entry for Prothero in the Oxford DNB, see those of H. W. C. Davis (1874-1928) and H. W. V. Temperley (1879-1939), which reveal the interest all three had in the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. Both items in good condition, lightly aged. Each folded once. Both addressed to 'Davis'. ONE: 7 November [1921]. 4pp, 12mo. Dictated, and entirely (including signature) in the hand of an amanuensis. He is 'delighted' that Davis will be able to 'write about Temperley & Co.' (Temperley published his six-volume account of the Conference between 1920 and 1924), and will be sending the books as soon as he can 'get the American one which I have sent for'. He will also be sending the number of the Quarterly Review 'containing Satow's Art.' He continues: 'Temperly is certainly rather prickly & was annoyed with something in Satow's paper, & in the end I had to be rather short with him'. He thanks Davis for his enquiry after his health: 'It is not good! but better than it was. I had to spend all last winter abroad which I did not like, & not long after I got back, I broke down again, - but I am pulling round. You see this letter is not in my hand writing, - but it saves time & trouble to dictate.' His Chichele Lectures [delivered in 1920] at Oxford 'are really not fit for publication': they 'want a lot done', but he hopes he 'may be able to publish them some day'. In a postscript he sends belated congratulations to him on his professorship. TWO: 30 March 1922. 2pp., 12mo. Following on from Item One, he begins by informing Davis that the article he agreed to write on the Paris Conference the previous November, for publication that April, is 'too late for this number, which is all in type, & in page, now, but I shd. be glad to know if I may expect it for the July number.' The fact that the article is late cannot be helped, but as 'there have been so many Conferences since that people have ceased to take an interest in Paris', and he thinks the best way to treat the subject is 'to bring it into connexion with the later Conferences, showing how these have grown out of the Paris one, & to confine oneself, so far as the books are concerned, to contrasting the views of Tardieu [André Tardieu, Clemenceau's deputy at the conference] & the Americans with the "official" - or semi-official - Temperley.' He concludes: 'I must not publish more than 6000 words, at most, on the subject, & shd. prefer the art. to be shorter, if possible.'. …

12mo, 1 p, 17 lines. Very good. He has been 'from home visiting here & there', and has returned to 'a mass of correspondence which is perfectly appalling'. He is sorry she 'sent back the book', as he meant her 'to keep it in perpetuity'. 'The recent work which finds most favour with the public is Lord Cockburn's Memorials. It is entertaining but not in all respects accurate. It is however worth reading & will serve to beguile a winter's evening. I dare sayy the autumn & Christmas, which are the great publishing seasons, will produce something tolerable.' Ends by thanking her for the account she gives of her 'travels'. The recipient of this letter may have been the author, under the pseudonym 'Leslie Gore', of the Bentley three-decker 'Annie Jennings' (1870).…

2pp., 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged. He asks to be informed if the recipient has 'commenced any of your articles in C', as he 'may be able to restore some of the articles to you which have gone astray'. Clearly referring to an entry in the Dictionary, he offers to 'take Canticles off your hands'.…

All three letters 12mo, and closely written. All three with rusted pinholes at head. A valuable correspondence, in which one of Victorian England's leading critics describes his response to the work of one of the age's foremost historians. LETTER ONE (1 page, 26 lines, good): He thanks Kinglake for sending his 'new volume' [of 'The Invasion of the Crimea']. 'I am reading it with great delight. The work to me is unique both in military & literary history. I never read a book before which gave a description of a battle in all its parts, so as to convey a true picture of what a battle really is.' Continues in the same vein, laying on the praise. 'Many of the passages are full of pathos, & grandeur, & when I read them aloud in our domestic circle thehy stirred the hearts of old & young alike.' Concludes 'If the work were far less distinguished for its intellectual beauties it would deserve immortality for its fearless honesty. An author who loves nothing better than truth is rare.' LETTER TWO (2 pages, 33 lines, good): Another paean of praise, beginning 'I find your new preface delightful for its contents, & the vigour & felicity of the language. Newspapers write more & more in superlatives, & exaggerate everything for the sake of effect. I suppose we have all felt this in the accounts of the Egyptian Campaign, [.]'. Discusses Lord Bury and 'one of the most comical instances on record of a man digging a pit for another & falling into it himself. I never saw Lord Bury but once, & then only for an instant, but I know his father & the family calibre. With sundry good qualities, to be a little weak, a little vain, & a politician for what you can get runs, I think, in the blood.' Returns to Kinglake's 'volume' in the last paragraph, with yet more praise. LETTER THREE (two pages, 27 lines, with some wear at foot affecting a couple of words of still-decipherable text): He has read Kinglake's letter 'with a pride & pleasure greater than you yourself probably feel at the completion of your masterly work. The modes of treating history were hacknied, & did not seem capable of much novelty. I know scarce anything inn fiction more original than yours, & the originality has everywhere tended to one end, [.] I look upon your history as absolutely unique, [.] it had been a war far less memorable in its consequences it would have been rendered memorable by its historian, [.]'.…
