See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The two items are in good condition, lightly aged and folded for postage. Both addressed to 'Dear Kempe'. ONE (7 September 1876): 1p, 12mo. Signed 'St N'. He asks Kempe to get him 'Mr Gladstone's pamphlet', and would also 'like to have Mr. Evans' recent work about Bosnia and Herzegovina, published I think by Longman.' He ends with news of his plans, and asks in a postscript: 'What do you say to the Revenue returns?' TWO (8 September 1876): 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Signed 'Stafford H. Northcote'. He will be travelling from Balmoral 'to Sir J. Clark's' on the Monday, but 'it will hardly be worth while sending letters to me there, as I fancy the post arrives very late; so please address on Monday to Sir John Ogilvy's, Baldovan, Dundee, where I shall be till Friday, and then go on to Sir G. Montgomery's (Stobo, Peebles).' He continues: 'Mr Gladstone has sent me his pamphlet: but there will be no harm in having a second copy if you have ordered one. If not, you need not get one.' He instructs him to 'have notes kept of speeches, letters &c made or written during the vacation on the Eastern question or on other matters likely to require notice next session. Of course I don't mean every speech, but only of important ones; and only notes to show when they were made so that we can look them up in the Times if necessary.' In a postscript he gives instructions regarding a letter he has signed to 'Mr. Armstrong'.…

Lord Hennessy has characterised the subject of these items, the Northcote-Trevelyan Report of 1854, as 'the greatest single governing gift of the nineteenth to the twentieth century: a politically disinterested and permanent Civil Service with core values of integrity, propriety, objectivity and appointment on merit, able to transfer its loyalty and expertise from one elected government to the next'. According to Northcote's entry in the Oxford DNB, 'the Northcote-Trevelyan Report (with an approving appendix by Benjamin Jowett), dated 23 November 1853 and published in the parliamentary papers in 1854 (Parl. papers, 1854, 27), is one of the most famous and typical of mid-Victorian reforms, recommending the widespread use of the examination system and recruitment on merit in place of patronage and 'old corruption''. The article describes the background as follows: 'In conjunction with Sir Charles Trevelyan [(1807-1886)], Northcote was invited to serve on eight commissions inquiring into various aspects of civil service department reform. One of these was on the Treasury. By a Treasury minute of 12 April 1853 Northcote and Trevelyan were instructed to draw up a general report on the civil service with especial reference to its means of selection and promotion. The NorthcoteTrevelyan report (with an approving appendix by Benjamin Jowett), dated 23 November 1853 and published in the parliamentary papers in 1854 (Parl. papers, 1854, 27), is one of the most famous and typical of mid-Victorian reforms, recommending the widespread use of the examination system and recruitment on merit in place of patronage and 'old corruption'. These proposals anticipated the movement for administrative reform which was so striking a consequence of the Crimean War and affected the rising importance of the middle classes and the 'career open to talent'.' The six items, of which only the last appears to have been published (no references to the first five having been discovered), are from the papers of Sir Charles John Herries (1815-1883), at the time deputy chair of the Board of Inland Revenue, and provide an extraordinary insight into the heated debate which the Report's proposals generated, with the correspondence between Herries and Northcote unusually intemperate. They comprise: ONE, a spirited and intemperate twenty-six-page defence of the civil service by Herries, in a private letter to Sir Stafford Northcote (1818-1887); TWO, Northcote's blunt reply, in which he accuses Herries of having been carried beyond 'the bounds of reason'; THREE, Herries' final bitter rejoinder; FOUR, a letter of support to Herries from Frederick Goulburn (d.1878) of the Board of Customs (appointed because his father was the politician Henry Goulburn), describing Herries' first letter as 'a stinger'; and FIVE and SIX, two printed papers by George Arbuthnot (1802-1865). No copies of Five and Six have been traced, either on OCLC WorldCat, COPAC, or at the LSE; and although the second of them was published at the time, there is no indication that the other 'Private' paper, although printed at the Foreign Office, was ever published, nor has any reference to it been discovered. The six items are in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. A full description follows. ONE: Retained copy, in manuscript, of long letter from Herries to Northcote, docketed by Herries: '1854 | Correspondence with Sir S. Northcote on admission to the Civil Service by open competition'. 26pp., 8vo. On seven bifoliums attached with green ribbon. Addressed from 114 Piccadilly, 15 April 1854. Headed 'Copy'. The start of the letter gives the background: 'Dear Northcote | I was much gratified by your statement to me some time ago that you intended publickly to apologize for the imputations upon the existing body of civil servants which are contained in your Report Since that time I have been anxiously looking for some communication from you on this subject, and have been annoyed at the delay of an act of justice to a large class of persons who are, by the conditions of their employment, unable to give publicity to their defence. [] But to say the truth I can well understand that there may be some difficulty in cancelling the portion of your report which contains these imputations. They are, as it seems to me, essential to your case. For I can scarcely conceive that without a certainty that the present system is necessarily and in its very nature productive of great evil to the public service, any one would propose to substitute such a plan as yours, involving as it does an abandonment of the principles on which all Government has hitherto been conducted, and leading almost inevitably to changes in the constitution of the country which, be they good or bad, are at least entirely inconsistent with that constitution which at present exists.' A vigorous defence follows, Herries concluding: 'I deny the truth of every one of the assertions to our discredit. [] I do not retract one iota of my statements, nor will I abate the vehemence of my denial of the justice of yours. | Yours truly | (signed) C. J. Herries'. TWO: Autograph Letter Signed from 'Stafford H. Northcote' to Herries. From Pynes, Exeter, 19 April 1854. 4pp., 4to. Bifolium. He begins his reply to Item One: 'I own that I read the greater part of your letter of the 15th. (which has been forwarded to me here) with a good deal of surprise, until I came to the passage near the end in which you candidly say that "it has been written without referring to the publications on which it comments", which undoubtedly affords some account of the strange misconceptions which you entertain of our much abused report.' In the course of a robust defence he makes the stinging retort: 'I am not in the least annoyed at the warmth of your indignation, nor surprised to find that it has carried you so far beyond what I think the bounds of reason.' He points out that he mentioned to him 'that Arbuthnot was writing a letter to the Treas.…
