Sir Henry Taylor (1800-1886), poet, dramatist and civil servant [his son Henry Ashworth Taylor (1854-1907); E A Scott of Rugby SBiblio.com

Sir Henry Taylor poet dramatist and civil servant. Autograph Letter Signed 'Henry Taylor' to 'Mr Scott' E. A. Scott of Rugby School regarding 'the predicament' of the lack of educational progress of his son Henry Ashworth Taylor.

224211 January 1872. East Sheen London S.W. 4pp 4to. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. Folded four times. Encouraged by Scott's response to his wife's letter Taylor is 'encouraged to ask for yr. advice in the predicament in which we stand at present. My boy has made hardly any progress in the last term & stands only four fm. the bottom of the upper Fifth.' He explains that on a former occasion he was in favour of 'a change of house & of companions' but that 'the boy was exceedingly averse & I was induced by assurances of doing better to let him go back to Mr Arnold's'. He encloses a letter from Arnold not present! and asks whether Scott thinks that 'a beneficial change is practicable': 'Any change might be more or less beneficial simply because it is a change & new courses are more easily adopted under new circumstances.' He discusses the possibility of 'some strengthening companionship'. He continues: 'Doing as ill as he does I do not contemplate keeping him at Rugby beyond another term. He is now 17 1/2 yrs. of age. If he had done well I shd have sent him to one of the Universities; but as you observed in one of yr Letters to my wife no good cd. come of that with no more disposition to get the good he can than has been shown at Rugby.' He considering 'making him a Civil Engineer. Industry of course is essential for success in that - but so of everything else; & something must be tried.' His assessment of his son's abilities is stark: 'He seems to have no particular aptitude for geometry & mathematics but I do not know anything useful & profitable for which he has any special aptitude. He has a love for music - he has a taste for literature - & some powers of expression in it - but so do I & I do not think that my efforts in that way for 50 years have produced me one year's subsistence'. Taylor's son Henry Ashworth Taylor was for two decades a King's Messenger. 1 January 1872. East Sheen, [London] S.W. unknown

Edward Meyrick Goulburn (1818-1897), Dean of Norwich from 1866 to his death, and Headmaster of Rugby, 1849-1857 [Adam Sedgwick (Biblio.com

ALS 'E. Meyrick Goulburn' from Rev. Edward Meyrick Goulburn Dean of Norwich to Rev. Dr Adam Sedgwick FRS Woodwardian Professor of Geology at Cambridge regarding improvements to the canonry and St Catharine's College Cambridge.

11871On letterhead of The Deanery Norwich. 9 January 1873. 4pp. 12mo. 51 lines of text. Bifolium. On aged paper. The context is explained by the fact that until 1927 one canonry in the cathedral establishment of Norwich was attached to the Mastership of St. Catharine's College. The letter begins: 'I have requested the Master of Catherine sic Charles Kirkby Robinson to read you two letters from Canon Nisbet which will show you how very litle prospect there is of our getting permission from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to spend any part of the money gained by our sale of the Barracks in the improvement of our Canonry Houses. This creates an embarrassment; for the question arises how we shall raise the money required for the purchase of the remainder of Mrs. Morse's lease unless we come upon the Barrack money.' Goulburn now describes how he and 'Heaviside' have pressed the Master to determine 'whether he will take Mrs. Morse's house; for if he declines to do so that will make the question still more embarrassing since in that case the £500 set apart for the removal of his present House and the making good the cloister will of course not be available. And I have further expressed the hope that he will be able to see his way to a move on the public grounds of freeing our beautiful Cloister from its present disfigurement. As soon as he has made up his mind I shall crave your kind permission to call a Chapter at your rooms.' He thanks him for his 'most interesting and if I may so say edifying Preface to the Catalogue - made doubly or trebly valuable by your kind inscription therein. I cannot say how highly I value the possession of such a document.' He will send 'the Bishop of Derry's Sermon': 'He could not have said any thing wh. wd. tell more in a place like this where you are so much revered and loved.' He complains of his duties 'as Editor to correct the press of these Sermons; and if another man's proofs always give one a little trouble much more do an Irishman's. And my good friend tho' very brilliant as an orator is very Hibernian.' On letterhead of The Deanery, Norwich. 9 January 1873. unknown

Thomas Arnold influential headmaster of Rugby School. Commencementt of an Autograph Letter written while touring the South of France describing scenes. Presented to an autograph collector by Arnold's widow Mary.

21149'Lyons July 18th. no year'. On both sides of a 17.5 x 20.5 cm piece of wove paper cut from the first leaf of a letter with 14 lines of text on the recto and 20 lines of text on the verso. In fair condition lightly aged with two small labels used as mounts still adhering. Annotated at the head of the first page in a small light hand dating the letter by reference to Arnold's 'Memoirs' and explaining that the letter is written 'To Mrs. Arnold who gave me this from Her dear hand Autumn 1860'. For the context of the letter see the Memoirs 'Appendix C. VIII. Tour in the South of France'. The letter begins: 'My dearest Mary We arrived here at three o' Clock this Afternoon and are off in the Steam Boat for Roignon tomorrow Morning at 5. - Our Window looks across the Saone to the Cathedral of N. D. de Fourvieres on the Top of the Hill. - It is a magnificent Town but the Heat here as every where is overpowering.' He predicts that the following day 'will be a cool and I expect a very interesting Day'. He will be interested to know 'what weather you have had in Westmoreland for fine Weather there is truly enjoyable and you need not fear the Sun'. Referring to the 'Lyon Tablet' he writes: 'We have just been out a little after Dinner & have seen the famous Plate containing the Speech of Claudius about giving the Freedom of Rome to the Gauls. - It is preserved here in the Museum. We have now come to the End of my Knowledge and I suppose that I shall enlarge my Knowledge a little but Naples I think is out of the Question and probably so also will Voltura sic for 'Volterra' be.' The recto ends here with the words 'But our .'. The verso begins: '… rather too hot – We have today clearly seen the whole Group of the Avergne Mountains in the Distance and their Outline is exceedingly no word follows. I succeeded in getting a Sketch of them as we drove along – besides seeing the Clermont Chain we have had a most hilly days Journey for we have crossed the Chain of Hills whose exact Height I do not know but where we went was more than 1500 so that the highest Peaks must be at least 3000. The Country would have been beautiful if it had not been so burnt up that it was all one Brown Colour together'. He describes how on 'the first Evening after leaving Paris we slept at Ponthiery – where the Salon was hung with Pictures of the Westmoreland Lakes – the next day we passed through the Forest of Fontainebleau which was most beautiful but as I have described it full length in my Journal and have not now much Time I shall pass it over'. The extract on the verso concludes with a description of a night at 'Briare on the Loire' and his making of a sketch and the words: 'Today we have had an easy Day - .' 'Lyons, July 18th. [no year]' unknown

Thomas Arnold the Younger [ Tom Arnold ] (1823-1900), Professor at University College, Dublin, son of the headmaster of Rugby ScBiblio.com

Thomas Arnold the Younger. Autograph Letter Signed 'T. Arnold' to Rev. R. Hutchinson regarding the views of St Augustine on 'Perseverance and Predestination' and 'the good works of the heathen'.

18743Laleham The Parks. 22 December 1872. Laleham on Thames Middlesex now Surrey. . 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition on lightly aged and worn paper. Arnold whose conversion to Roman Catholicism hindered his academic dvancement in England was grandfather of the writer Aldous Huxley and taught James Joyce at Dublin. At the time of writing he was running a private tutoring establishment at Oxford. He begins the letter by explaining that it has hardly been possible to reply to Hutchinson 'during term time . I had so much work on my hands'. He is returning 'Canon Bright's letter' and has 'not had time to look at the treatises on Perseverance and Predestination'. He has however 'read some way into the Epistle to Sixtus and can find in it nothing like a denial of free will on human merit though this last also he ascribes to an effect of the divine grace. Why some are saved and others lost he cannot tell; he calls the whole subject a "difficillima quaestio" .'. He continues with a number of Latin quotations including one from a letter to Abbot Valentine of Adrumetum noting that 'St Austin' was 'misunderstood in his own day as he often is in ours'. He continues: 'With such passages as these to enlighten one as to the Saint's real meaning may one not well feel reluctant unless a whole string of predestinarian in the bad sense passages were adduced from his writings to admit that he fell into or countenanced error' He ends with a discussion of 'the good works of the heathen'.

Henry Hallam (1777-1859), English Whig historian [Dr Thomas Arnold (1795-1842), headmaster of Rugby School, and Regius ProfessorBiblio.com

Henry Hallam historian responds indignantly to Dr Thomas Arnold's claim that he has made 'false quotations'. Autograph Letter Signed 'Henry Hallam' to Dr Thomas Arnold defending himself against an allegation made in a lecture at Oxford.

2110924 Wilton Crescent London. 28 February 1842. 4pp. 4to. Bifolium with mourning border. In fair condition lightly aged with short closed tears at edges of some folds. An excellent letter indignantly countering what must be the most serious accusation one historian can level against another that of making 'false quotations'. The recipient is not named but from the context is undoubtedly the Headmaster of Rugby School Thomas Arnold who since the previous year had held the Regius Professorship of History at Oxford and would die four months later on 12 June 1842. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir You will not I am certain consider it as a liberty if I address you a few lines on the subject of an allusion last word underlined to a passage in my History of the Middle Ages which I understand you to have made in a recent lecture at Oxford. The great respect which I bear to you will be a sufficient excuse; for in an ordinary case I should have waited for publication of the lecture & made my observations then or not as I might have thought it expedient'. He does not have 'an exact knowledge of what you said concerning me' but assures Arnold of the 'very great annoyance' he felt when 'Dr Buckland i.e. the geologist and cleric William Buckland 1784-1856 some weeks since told me in his jocular language “Dr Arnold has been blowing you up for false quotations'. He did not have 'the slightest notion what was the specific charge' but considered it 'a most serious imputation upon any writer' and subsequently 'obtained some information' from 'Dr. B.' 'vague indeed but enough to make me conjecture that your charge related to the well-known passage in Eligius. This has been confirmed since by a letter which a friend of mine received from Oxford; but the words said to have been used by you are very loosely given from memory. It appears however that you spoke in very handsome terms of my general character as a faithful historian'. Arnold has almost certainly overlooked the fact that 'in the fourth edition of my work & in all that followed I have retracted the error into which I had been led so far as it was an error in the fullest manner; not silently correcting or omitting the passage but leaving it as it stood with a note acknowledging it to be highly exaggerated in consequence of the wrong interpretation which through Mosheim's quotation many besides myself had put upon the original writer's meaning. On reading this note again after several years it appears to me that I have gone to the utmost in saying that the passage quoted by Mosheim ought never to be applied again; for in reality it is one of importance & serves to confirm what Mosheim himself has said though Maclaine & those who followed him went much farther than it would warrant.' He discusses a Latin sentence declaring: 'I need not add that this was no false quotation nor even a garbled one on the part of Mosheim who gave an entire - still less on my part who only quoted him & Robertson.' He ends by declaring his expectation that 'when your lectures go to the press you will do me the justice of taking notice' that he has corrected 'the error into which I had been led'. In conclusion he observes for the purpose of bring his work 'to the public eye it has been absolutely necessary to give modern authorities'. 24 Wilton Crescent [London]. 28 February 1842. unknown

Wavell Wakefield, Politician and rugby player:Biblio.com

Wavell Wakefield Politician and rugby player Three Typed Letters Signed one Autograph Poem Signed and Two Typed Letters signed by his Private Secretary.

2527All five Typed Letters on House of Commons notepaper 1961-2; the poem April 1962. Politician and rugby player DNB. The five letters all one page 16mo and each with two staple holes and in good condition. The autograph poem is on a printed bifoliate menu for the Cricket Society Spring Dinner 6 April 1962 16mo slightly discoloured. The letters relate to various Cricket Society Dinners. He agrees to attend the 1961 Spring Dinner at the Lords Tavern but his private secretary P. Barling declines on his behalf an invitation to the autumn dinner as he is out of the country recovering from an operation. In the third letter he accepts an invitation to the 1962 Spring Dinner at the Royal Horticultural New Hall and the fourth letter is from Barling on the same subject. In the fifth letter he explains that he has had to undergo an operation and cannot attend the dinner after all. The poem on the menu reads 'To think that many years ago We danced together with gusto in gay Paree when we were young enjoying life with dance & song You still are young in looks & heart Just as you were in your life's start.' An unremarkable printed poem by G. D. Martineau called 'The Crown' on the reverse of the second leaf of the menu has received eleven emendations in pen possibly not by Wakefield. These have given it a rather gay feel e.g. 'Sohos lights' 'strange delights' and 'it was no sin'. All five Typed Letters on House of Commons notepaper, 1961-2; the poem April 1962. unknown
