Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. First Edition. Augustine Birrell's Copy who was a British Liberal Party politician, who was Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1907 to 1916.It is signed and dated by Birrell 1892 on the half title page.In addition the book includes two dictated letters by Lord Roseberry who was Archibal…d Philip Primrose the 5th Earl of Rosebery and the 1st Earl of Midlothian and was a British Liberal Party politician who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from March 1894 to June 1895.It's a Very Good Copy in Original black cloth Boards with gilt title lettering to spine with rough cut page edges.There are two Lord Roseberry letters one of which is to Baroness Constance Battersea and is dated 1920 asking if he would like to be Lord Lieutenant and saying that if so he must provide six seats a heavy price to pay,he also goes on to add that I am glad Birrell showed an interest in me as I am very fond of him and it is the first symptom he has shown of any such feeling.The second letter included is affixed to the front pastedown and is dated June 24th 1920 and is a letter of apology and it reads as such so as to show the context. '' My dear Birrell I am distressed by your letter,for you are quite in the right and I am in the wrong.I did give some plaintive hint to Lady Battersea,but Peggy assures me that my whine was unfounded.When one is ill in broods,which accounts,I fear,for my having said what I did. I wish you could find time to run down here: but I fear that that may not be possible'' So there it is a rather intriguing and delightful piece of British Political history.Fascinating with the close association of not just Augustine Birrell but of Baroness Constance Battersea who was a society hostess and philanthropist in London who established the Jewish Association for the Protection of Girls, Women and Children in 1885 and was prominent in the Temperance movement in the United Kingdom.8vo 287pp plus appendix First Edition [1891].

Paper. Condizione: Near fine. Handwritten Manuscript. In total, this collection includes 12 legal page leaves, written in pencil by Steinbeck on rectos only, and one typed letter from his editor. All in near fine condition, with faint toning to edges and small paperclip indentations. (Goldstone & Payne C90, article) With an 11-p…age typed transcription of the drafts and letters, bound in chronological order of appearance. Housed in a custom brown cloth clamshell case, title printed on paper label affixed to spine. (Provenance: Christie's 1986; Christie's 1999) John Steinbeck's article "Autobiography: Making of a New Yorker," begins in Part One (not included here) with his first unhappy (and short-lived) experience in New York City in 1925, at the age of 23. Part Two, handwritten here, details his second "assault on New York" in the fall of 1935, in which he begrudgingly transforms from a "Country Boy" into a true "New Yorker." At first, Steinbeck writes: "It is so strange to look back. I was going to live in New York but I was going to avoid it." Near the end of the installment, his anecdotes change. He writes: "Everything fell into place. I saw every face I passed. It was beautiful - but most important - I was part of it, I was no longer a stranger." In the final section, handwritten here, Steinbeck describes the broad dichotomy of the city, and romanticizes city life. He writes: "New York is an ugly city, a dirty city. Its climate is a scandal, its politics are used to frighten children, its traffic is madness, its competition is murderous. But. once you have lived in New York and it has become your home - no place else is good enough. All of everything is concentrated here, population, theatre, art, painting, publishing, importing, business, murder, mugging, luxury, poverty. It is all of everything." The correspondence between Steinbeck and NYTM editor Seymour Peck primarily discusses deadlines for the article drafts. In the first letter, Steinbeck tells Peck of his plans for the three-part article. Peck responds on November 26, 1952, asking for all writing to be completed by December 24, 1952. The second letter is inserted at the end of Part Two, informing Peck that Part Three will be along shortly. The third letter, dated December 17, 1952, accompanies Part Three, in which Steinbeck says the article "isn't very good, but it is heart-felt." A truly exceptional collection of autobiographical writings from a classic American author. Despite his reputation as a Californian, John Steinbeck spent nearly half his life living in New York City. In 1925, he left Stanford University without a degree and moved to the city for roughly one year. He returned to New York with his then-girlfriend Gwen, living for a while in Sneden's Landing. They stayed in New York until the birth of his first son, Thom, and the publication of Cannery Row (1945). He later returned to the East Coast with his third wife, Elaine, and bought a home in Sag Harbor in 1955. Steinbeck remained in New York City until his death in 1968. Handwritten by John Steinbeck, parts two and three of his three-part article for The New York Times Magazine titled, "Autobiography: Making of a New Yorker." Together with three autograph letters signed by Steinbeck to NYTM editor Seymour Peck, and o (illustratore). Signed.

These 9 handwritten letters in ink were written to Dr. Sherman dating from February 27, 1900 through December 23, 1900. The letters tell the story of how she came to write the book and thanks Dr. Sherman and Mr. Franklin for their many suggestions, ideas, and specific aid in writing Newport: Our Social Capital. She begins from her Philadelphia address in February by writing to Dr. Sherman for assistance, mentioning that "I have Mr. Mason s book on Rhode Island, but I want to know if there is a surviving congregation of the first Baptist Church and where it now is. Also if there is any sketch of it. So much has been written about Trinity, that I should like to bring the Baptists and their congregation more prominently before the public. I wish I could see you to ask a dozen questions about early days in Newport for you and your family must have many traditions. Can you give me the date when Bellevue Avenue was cut through to Rough Point? And when the Ocean Drive was laid out. I carried map and pictures to Mr. Lippincott, putting them in his hands; he promises to care for and to return them promptly. It gave me the greatest pleasure to send you a copy of my history of Newport. (A total of 9 letters, comprising 34 handwritten sheets of stationery, each sheet measuring 7"x 5.5", most with her No. 338 South Twelfth Street, Philadelphia address). A fascinating archive which showcases the creation and development of one the finest books about Newport, RI. First Edition with matching dates of 1905 on the title and copyright pages. This edition is printed from the type, and is limited to Three Hundred and Forty-Seven copies. This is Number 148.". Splendid illustrations by Henry Hutt; could not be more suitable for The Gilded Age. Stunning illustrations. Scare with letters. (illustratore).

With two autographed letters signed by Ellis. The two letters are folded (as mailed) and both in a single envelope addressed to David McCord at Brown & Sh…ipley in London. The envelope is tipped to the front endpaper. First letter: A one-page autographed letter signed, on his Dover Mansions stationery, dated August 1, 1927. To David McCord, who worked for Brown & Shipley in London. In 1825, the new trading firm financed merchants who were shipping goods between Britain, the United States and other parts of Europe and the Americas. Over the years, the trading activities ceased and its merchant banking activities grew. The company still exists ?Dear Mr. McCord, I shall be pleased to meet you, but on it presents only brief & uncertain hints to London. At the moment I am here but am leaving in an hour or two. But if possible I will run up next week. I may be able to arrange a meeting for later Wednesday afternoon. -But I will I will write again about this. Sincerely yours, Havelock Ellis,? Second letter: Two-page autograph letter signed, on his Dover mansions stationery, dated Sept. 4, 1927. Also, to David McCord. ?Little Frieth, Hanley-on-Thames. Dear Mr. McCord I find that it is on Thursday next that I shall be at Brinton & I should be phoned if you can call at 5 in the afternoon of the day. If that is inconvenient for you perhaps you will kindly send me a line to Frieth, not later this Tuesday. A bus from Trafalgar Square- no. 3 or 58 or 59 (1597)- brings you in twenty minutes to Graham Road, a few (yards?) from Dover Mansions. Sincerely yours, Havelock Ellis.? ??Little Frieth? is a cottage in Buckinghamshire that Ellis rented during the summers of 1925 through 1928. Havelock Ellis [1859?1939], was an English physician, eugenicist, writer, progressive intellectual and social reformer, who studied human sexuality. He co-authored, with John Addington Symonds, the first medical textbook in English on homosexuality in 1897, ?Sexual Inversion.? The 1897 English translation is preceded by the 1896 German edition. Ellis also published works on a variety of sexual practices and inclinations, as well as on transgender psychology. He is credited with introducing the concepts of narcissism and autoeroticism, later adopted by psychoanalysis. Ellis was among the pioneering investigators of psychedelic drugs and authored of one of the first written reports to the public about an experience with mescaline, which he conducted on himself in 1896. ?The Dance of Life? is one of Ellis's most popular philosophical work- a survey of modern civilization giving the author's own outlook on life. With Two Autographed Letters Signed. (illustratore). Signed.
