1p., 4to. Bifolium. On aged and creased paper. Carnegie's letter is on the recto of the first person, with Spencer's instructions regarding the response as customary diagonally on folded over outer corner of the reverse. Spencer was First Lord of the Admiralty between 1794 and 1801. Carnegie begins by addressing 'Lord Spenser [sic]', and stating that he 'is sorry to trouble his Lordship again about Mr Moodie, whom he had the goodness to put on the list of Marine Expectants at Sir David's request'. He continues: 'The young man is little able to afford living in London; & if Lord Spencer cannot compatibly with his note, employ him soon, Sir David wishes to have leave for him to go to his friends in Scotland till he is called for.' had the goodness to put on the list of Marine Expectants at Sir David's request. | The young man is little able to afford living in London; & if Lord Spencer [sic] cannot, compatibly with his note, employ him soon, Sir David wishes to have leave for him to go to his friends in Scotland till he is called for.' In his Autograph Draft reply Spencer instructs his secretary: 'My Compliments and say that from the numerous Engagemts. I had contracted before he applied in favour of Mr. Moodie, it may yet be a considerable time before I shall have it in my power to appoint him -'. On reverse of second leaf (also in Spencer's autograph?): 'Mr. Moodie - | Comm: of Mar:'.…

Both letters in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Letter One (25 June 1883): 6pp., 12mo. Southesk begins: 'I now am able to fulfil my promise, and beg to send you a copy in my own writing of a semi-mystical little piece, which some people have liked, from the "Greenwood's Farewell" volume.' Regarding the question of 'the publication of poems', Southesk writes: 'I fear that even the "aesthetic" writers who have the command of the literary papers do not find verse a marketable thing, and writers who dislike artificiality conventionality and sickly affectation have no chance of a hearing, to say nothing of praise'. The 'safest plan', in his opinion, 'is to print a number of copies for private circulation'. He stresses that he is speaking 'entirely on the general question', and would not 'care to discuss the special question', not feeling competent to 'play the critic's part, either for blame or commendation, except under different conditions from those of a private letter [.] no human being could with certainty predicate the reception a volume of new poems would experience in the way of criticism, while on the other hand few could entertain the smallest doubt that, commerically speaking the venture would prove a heavy losss to its undertakers. | I believe all publishers will tell you the same "o'er true" tale.' Letter Two (29 June 1883): 4pp., 12mo. He is enclosing a copy of his pamphlet 'Britain's Art Paradise', and points out that his last letter 'was in no way meant to discourage you specially from publishing your poems, but was a statement of general experience on the subject of verse publications, regarding which I know something from several quarters.' Despite the fact that 'publication is too apt to lend to expense, and to annoyances untold' he would never 'advise a poet to leave his works to die. It is not difficult, nor necessarily costly, to print a limited number of copies for private circulation. This at least keeps the works together - to be appreciated perhaps by a future generation even if not by the present.' Baron was an inveterate autograph hunter, and his appeal for advice may well have been a pretext. …

8vo, pp.6, [2], 84, with an incomplete list of 'Popular Works, published by Whittingham and Arliss' at the end (pp.[12] of [4]); title-page a little dusty, a few creased corners, but a good copy; stitched as issued, untrimmed; contemporary ink inscription 'Mrs Edmeades | Brampton Place' to title.First edition of the only literary work by Douglas Kinnaird (17881830), the intimate friend and banker of Lord Byron and dedicatee of Byron's Hebrew Melodies in 1815. Kinnaird was educated at Eton, Göttingen, and Trinity College, Cambridge, and was called by Byron 'my trusty and trustworthy trustee and banker, and crown and sheet anchor' (quoted in DNB). The play was produced at Drury Lane, where both he and Byron served on the Committee, was dedicated to Lady Caroline Lamb's brother-in-law (who contributed three songs), and has a prologue and epilogue by John Cam Hobhouse. A comedy by John Fletcher, possibly with the collaboration of Francis Beaumont and Philip Massinger, The Beggar's Bush was acted at Court in 1622 and first published in the Beaumont and Fletcher folio of 1647. Kinnaird's revision with its rich Jacobean fare of mistaken identities, disguise, honour, betrayal, true love, and, in the beggars, knockabout rustic humour was very popular on the stage, and it was its success at Drury Lane that led him to sanction publication. Provenance:With the ownership inscription of Mrs Edmeades of Brampton Place, Kent, likely Elizabeth Edmeades (née Allen, 17751836), wife of Captain William Edmeades of the East India Company, known for his Biographical Memoirs. Language: English.…

According to the diarist Sir Edward Walter Hamilton, the second reading of the Divorced Wife's Sister Bill caused 'great excitement'. Due to clerical opposition, the Bill did not reach the statute book until 1907, and even then in a limited form. These seven items provide an interesting glimpse into the inner workings of the Victorian legislative process. All are clear and complete, and docketed by Dalhousie in red. All in fair condition, with various degrees of aging. Letter One: Sir Thomas Henry Farrer ('S Th Farrer'); 16 July 1885; 27 Bryanston Square, on letterhead of the Athenaeum Club, Pall Mall. 12mo, 3 pp. He is enclosing a copy (not present) of a letter which he sent 'to the Spectator last year on the subject of the Deceased Wifes sister Bill. - It may possibly be of some use to you, as it is a real case - my own. | I have always felt strongly against our present law, as a gross piece of clerical tyranny: - But I feel even yet more strongly against the hypocrisy which, afraid of resting the case on its real ground of ecclesiastical authority, tries to support it by social arguments which are if possible more revolting than they are false.' While he could not put his name to 'such a letter', 'the actual experience of one who has known what a sister in law may be - is perhaps of some value'. Letter Two: Francis Needham, 3rd Earl of Kilmorey ('Kilmorey'); 16 May 1885; on letterhead of Glenmore House, Rosstrevor, County Down, Ireland. They are not 'coming up to town this season', so wish to be paired in favour of the bill. 'Kind regards from self & wife to you & Lady Dalhousie & the twins!' Letter Three: Arthur Kinnaird, 10th Lord Kinnaird ('Kinnaird'); 8 June 1885; on letterhead of 1 Pall Mall East, London, S.W. 12mo, 2 pp. He has been 'very unwell lately', and his doctor has 'forbidden my doing more than is absolutely necessary - I therefore thought I ought to obey him & stay away'. Letter Four: George Hay, 12th Earl of Kinnoull ('Kinnoull'); 27 May 1885; on letterhead of Dupplin Castle, Perth. 12mo, 2 pp. He is 'anxious to support the second reading of the bill', but as he does not 'expect to be in London at that time' he asks for a pair. Letter Five: Douglas Graham, 5th Duke of Montrose ('Montrose'); 28 May 1885; on letterhead of Buchanan Castle, Glasgow. He cannot be in his place, and asks for a pair. 12mo, 2 pp. Letter Six: George Byng, 3rd Earl of Strafford ('Strafford'); 14 May 1885; on letterhead of Wrotham Park, Barnet Herts. 16mo, 3 pp. His 'zeal for the success of your motion is unabated', but he 'cannot entertain the most remote hope of being able to record my vote [.] The discredited alternative of a Pair is my only chance of serving the cause, & perhaps, in the interval before the 2nd Reading, you may in your energetic arrangements hear of some (I hope, more convalescent) opponent with whom I might be linked.' He is sure 'Enfield' would 'assist in the search'. Letter Seven: Edward Montagu-Stuart-Wortley-Mackenzie, 1st Earl of Wharncliffe ('Wharncliffe'); 16 May 1885; British Embassy, Vienna. 12mo, 2 pp. There is 'no chance' of his being present. 'We remain here for another ten days, and then have to go down to Yorkshire'.…
