The influential potter Herbert Minton (1793-1858), of the Staffordshire firm Thomas Minton and Sons, had died on 1 April 1858. A couple of months later, on 26 May 1858, Wyatt read before the Society of Arts his paper 'On the Influence exercised on Ceramic Manufactures by the late Mr. Herbert Minton'. The first four letters carry the stamp of the Society of Arts. All five items in good condition, lightly aged. The first two 1p., 12mo; the third 2pp., 12mo. The fourt 3pp., 12mo. The fifth 1p, landscape 12mo. ONE ('Saty'): Reads: 'I have selected at Phillip's (Chamberlaine's) in Bond St. beautiful [last word underlined] things of Minton's which he will send on Wednesday morning Space should be reserved for these about 12 feet by six of table.' (In 1823 H. and R. Chamberlain, 'Worcester China manufacturers', were at 55 New Bond Street. In around 1858 the firm were taken over by W. P. & G. Phillips, retailers of china and glass ware (established 1760), whose main premises were in Oxford Street.) TWO (27 May 1858): Regarding the proofs of the printed version of the paper, and his desire 'to have fifty copies for myself stitched in wrappers'. THREE (19 June 1858): Acknowledging receipt of Foster's 'note conveying an intimation that the Council of the Society of Arts will be pleased to see me on the occasion of the Annual dinner on the 24th.', and expressing regret that he will be unable to comply. FOUR (5 December 1863): On his return to town he writes that he will do his best 'to decide if you wish it with Mr Redgrave and Mr Webb the merits of your Competing Art Workmen'. He knows of nothing to prevent him from 'attending any meeting you may summons for the mornings of next Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday'. He adds: 'I say mornings because I see that colour is involved in one or two of the Subjects and one can scarcely reckon upon good light in the afternoon.' FIVE (15 October 1871): Headed 'Mem[orandum] -' and addressed to 'Dear Delamotte'. He is sending him '(by bookpost) the paper on Mosaic. I knew I had one or two printed separately but until today could not find one.'.

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. The name of the addressee has been amended from 'J. B. Waring' to 'J. R. Planché Eqr.' In 1854 Wyatt and Waring had collaborated on four architectural guidebooks to the courts of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, and the present item relates to sculptures present there. The letter beings iwth Wyatt thanking Planché for 'a copy of your interesting comments on Professor Cockerell's views with respect to the Wells & other sculptures', which he has read 'with care and interest'. They only serve to confirm the original impression which in my mind when I first heard Cockerell promulgate his theory at one of the Academy lectures some 12 years ago, viz - that there existed no evidence worthy of credit for the clear identification of one quarter of the whole number of statues.' As 'Carter, Gough, and others' have 'failed altogether', and as Cockerell's theory has gone uncontradicted 'neither Waring nor I had any other alternative than to cite his work and his authority as all of any importance that had been written on the subject. | Should our handbook ever reach another edition it will be our duty to allude to that as doubtful which at the date of our publication had not been contravened.'.
