19199716London: A & C Black Ltd 1919. Esmé Wynne-Tyson's copy containing a detailed manuscript list of her early publications. The year-book was given and inscribed to her by Noël Coward using his nickname of the time in black ink to the head of the preface "To Leette Mother / with appropriate affection / Poj / 29/6/19". To the rear of the book is a blank table across nine pages designed for writers to record the progress of their manuscripts through the publication process title where sent when sent returned or accepted payment which has been fully and densely completed by Wynne-Tyson in ink and pencil recording approximately 100 pieces penned by her and successfully published during 1920-1921 - her own little bibliography. These largely compose pieces for newspapers and periodicals covering a wide range of subjects although with a focus on short stories "Lady of White Peacocks" "On the Bus" "The Moon is a Penny" comment pieces "The Art of Wifehood" "Cultivating a Personality" "Truth About the Stage Child Actress" "The Superstitious Sex" "Don'ts for Present Giving" and tales for children "Prince Yara or The Ivory Tower" "The Christmas Fairy". Elsewhere in the book Wynne-Tyson has added pencil lines besides the details of periodicals which she presumably thought suitable for submitting her work jotted down two publisher's addresses along with a list of story titles and inserted a pithy comment on the title page: "Art for Commerce's Sake". Also loosely laid in is a later publisher's compliments slip from William Heinemann dated 30.10.67 on which Wynne-Tyson has typed a brief curiously spikey review of Coward's 1967 book of verse Not Yet the Dodo: "Attaining a new shallowness. The Master has not even learned how not to use punctuation. At least his early books of verses achieved their aim in that they failed to amuse a Muse of current acclaim and pleased that lady's critics. Not Yet the Dodo will not even impress the admirers of N.C's technique. Is this the same hand that wrote the Three Quartets and Brief Encounter It is impossible to read most of these verses without the beat of The Stately Homes of England constantly intruding over the shoulder". Esmé Wynne-Tyson 1898-1972 began her career as an actress performing in the West End from childhood until her early twenties. During this period she became a close friend and confidant of Noël Coward with their friendship for a time forming the most important in Coward's life. In her teens she began to write plays often in collaboration with Coward including a series of shorts under the joint pen-name "Esnomel". Following the First World War she became a Christian Scientist abandoned her stage career and increasingly turned to writing both fiction including numerous novels and non-fiction journalism. Frequently penned in collaboration with J. D. Beresford much of this served to promote pacifism vegetarianism and the numerous other humanitarian causes in which she deeply believed. The present book an indispensable guide for writers to the various publishers journals magazines newspapers and literary agents in Britain the USA and elsewhere was gifted by Coward during the course of the pair's intimate friendship. Signed "Poj" the nickname he used when the pair conversed it was perhaps presented as an act of encouragement when Wynne-Tyson was just beginning to find her literary feet. It certainly reveals that she experienced significant early success in her new endeavours earning £22. 6s from her writing in 1920 and £162. 3s. 4d. in 1921. DESCRIPTION: Publisher's original red cloth with titles in black to the upper board and spine. 12pp. of publisher's advertisements to the front and rear. A very good copy the binding square and secure with a touch of cracking to the hinges a little marking to the boards and toning to the spine.

26090Undated but 1950s or 1960s. Two very interesting unpublished documents the first giving an assessment of Churchill by a colleague who worked closely with him throughout the Second World War and the second describing the important part that individual himself played in the logistical management of the war from before Dunkirk to after D-Day. This material is from Sir Noel Galway Holmes’s private papers another batch of which comprising confidential reports on him recommendations by superior officers and particulars of his service is offered separately. Considering Holmes’s central position in Churchill’s war entourage and his pivotal role in the logistical management of the Second World War as described in Item Two below it is unaccountable that he should not have been accorded a proper biographical account other than an obituary in the Daily Telegraph 29 December 1982 and entry in Who Was Who. His career was highly distinguished as his decorations suggest. He joined the army in 1910 served in France during the First World War and in India between the wars. During the Second World War he was Deputy-Quarter-Master-General Movements at the War Office in which capacity he attended most of the allied conferences including Yalta and Potsdam. See the quotation he gives from Sir R. M. Weeks regarding his wartime work at Item Three below At the end of the war he spent a few months as commander of Aldershot before retiring from the army in 1946. The three items here are in fair condition with light signs of age and wear but clear and complete. ONE: Autograph rough draft of notes towards an autobiographical account largely concerned with NGH’s relationship with Churchill. 6pp 12mo. On six leaves stapled together with first three leaves numbered 1-3. In good condition lightly aged with pin holes at top left of the six leaves and speck of rust spotting to the first leaf. A few deletions and emendations. Begins: ‘War Office Aug 39 as Director of Movement’ later D Aug M until 1946. A longer spell than any Reg officer / Responsible for all movement men & material by Land sea & road / Attended Conferences abroad as advisor to C of Staff on movement matters. No use arranging for battles if there were not the movement facilities to get the chaps & stores there & be able to maintain them. / Personal shipping lazy dry cargo shipping very short’. A dated list of a few of the conferences he attended follows and written near it in the margin: ‘Not many of the more senior officers alive today who attended these conferences’. This is followed by the meat of the document: ‘Roosevelt corrected from ‘Rosefelt’ died after Yalta & Truman attended Potsdam. / Joe i.e. Stalin made great efforts to pall up to Winston as Truman was new: at these various conferences I had the good fortune to meet the Head Statesmen of the countries concerned & I naturally came into contact with W. S. i.e. Churchill both in London & at the conferences. / By His courage fortitude determination energy charm & thoughtfullness sic he instilled confidence into all those who worked with or near him. He never seemed to think of failure not even at Dunkirk. He never liked no for an answer & I had experience of this at Chequers. He had a conference in Oct ’42. in margin ‘8 Nov 42’ to try & advance the landing in N aftrica so as not to interfere with Ranadan sic - Allan Brooke Ike - Clarke Beath Smyth Eden & Ismay. I had to say that all arrangements have been made & ships in position & some have left & I said it could not be done - / He naturally did not like the reply but I was glad the Brooke & Ike agreed / This was our first big offensive landing he had me in a month before sail asking details / When the landing in N. Africa had taken place W. S. sent me the following text not present - presumably to be added later / Some years after the war W. S. came up to Sheffield for the M. C. Dinner as P. Guest. I was then Chairman of the Yorkshire coal fields. In the P. Guest room before dinner he beckoned me over & shook me by the hand & said Nice to see an old friend - / He often sent for me & asked very pertinent questions. / Loss of bread in Shipping / What number of Kitty Hawkes loaded for Russia’. There follow references to ‘Stories’ he wishes to tell: ‘I must have Blood & Bayonet / Drinks to ships officers / Dudley Pound & an escort. / Chequers on Toret meeting / I was late. / Speed of advance of the Bug. / Drink brought in by Lady Churchill / Roosevelt & drink to the backward sic room boys’. He concludes with a summation of his views on Churchill: ‘I realise how fortunate etc I have been to have met & worked with such a super man. / What people do not realise is that the work he did as M of defence was stupendous & there he had the work of other department sic to contend with too / A truly wonderful & loveable man.’ TWO: Part of autobiographical account in the third person this portion covering his career from 1924 to his retirement and post-war work. 1p foolscap 8vo. Closely-typed and single-spaced. Somewhat worn and creased but clear and complete. With a few autograph emendations. Begins: ‘Page 2. / Commander after being Chief of Staff of a Division-plus! which proved to be quite a change. He started work for the Staff College Exam took it in 1924 and qualified getting a nomination he joined the Staff College at Camberley in 1925 and finished in December 1926. He was there with a number of chaps whom he met afterwards Alexander was with him and instructors were Gort Allen-Brooke and Montgomery.’ Describes his subsequent activities in India where ‘His chief was General the Lord Jeffreys KC.B. K.C.V.O. C.M.G. a wonderful soldier and a very good friend.’ Became ‘Brigadier in charge of movement at the War Office in June 1939. / Neer having been on the Staff of the War Office he found everything very strange at first and did not actually care for it in those days. He had very few staff and the first job was to prepare the move of the B.E.F. to France. Naturally he set about to collect the most able and efficient staff possible and he spent hours combing the lists of the Royal Engineers for specialists in transportation railway experts and shipping agents very much used to stowage problems. It took quite a time to organise but eventually he got together a really tip top team trained and ready for the job on hand and among these were representatives in Canada U.S.A. France North Africa and Italy. added in autograph ‘with whom he dealt direct’ / The next task was a much tougher one it was the first large tactical landing undertaken by the British Army the landing in North Africa. It was the first effort at the tactical loading of ships and proved to be a great succecss. On its completion the Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill sent a very pleasant letter of congratulation. However during the war there were many taks in various parts of the world which the team carried out in perfection all were good training for the final and greatest task of all the landing in Normandy on 6th. June 1944. This was carried out efficiently and definitely with perfection. Movement Control lifted 13 million personel and 95 million tons of stores and not one single peg went to the wrong place. added in autograph during World War Two Number. It is interesting to note that he was the first Regular Officer to be appointed Director of Movement during the War!’ / Durig the war he accompanied the Chiefs of Staffs as an advisor to: - Casablanca - Washington - twice to Quebec - Cairo - Teheran - Yalat and Potsdam. When the war was over he was given the Aldershot Command and held the appointment for six months and was personally complimented by F.M. The Viscount Montgomery of Alamein K.G. G.C.B. D.S.O. for the work he did throughout the Command.’ After explaining the reason for his retirement from the army ‘there were rumours that he was going to be given another job of work abroad and he did not wish to go abroad again’ he ends with a few lines describing his postwar career with a final list of his decorations and finally ‘Ireland inserted in manuscript ‘trial’ at Rugby Football / Represented Ireland in the Davis Cup Lawn Tennis 1930’. NHG quotes Lieut.-General Sir Ronald M. Weeks's commendation of him in his book ‘Organisation and Equipment for War’ CUP 1950: ‘We were fortunate in having as D.Q.M.G. Movements NGH's official title was Deputy-Quarter-Master-General for Movements an Irishman Major General Sir Noel Holmes who held the job throughout the war. Blessed with a sense of humour a strong constitution he was an International Rugby Footballer a Weeks writes 'the' power of leadership and good judgement. He played no small part in the achievement of Victory’ NGH adds an exclamation mark at the end. THREE: Typed list of conferences attended by NGH. 1p 4to. Twenty-three dated conferences from ‘France’ 14 to 30 October 1939 to Potsdam 24 July 1945. See Scan of page 2 of the assessment of Churchil. Undated, but 1950s or 1960s. unknown

1912003557Methuen. QUEEN MARY OF TECK - Two works on Queen Consorts inscribed to Lady Ogilvy her Lady of the Bedchamber. WOODWARD Ida. Five English Consorts of Foreign Princes. London: Methuen 1912. WILLIAMS H. Noel. A Princess of Adventure: Marie Caroline Duchesse de Berry. London: Methuen 1912. Two volumes both 8vo. Five English Consorts with six plates; A Princess of Adventure with seventeen plates frontispiece loose and trimmed by c.2 cm not affecting image. Original publisher's cloth gilt blue and red respectively both bindings sound; light foxing to prelims of Consorts edges browned; some offsetting and wear commensurate with age. Both volumes are inscribed by Queen Mary of Teck 1867-1953 to her Lady of the Bedchamber Mabell Ogilvy Countess of Airlie 1866-1956: "Mabell Airlie / from / Mary R / 1912." Consorts additionally bears the author Ida Woodward's florid presentation leaf in thick black pen: "May it please Your Majesty to accept this book from your faithful subject the author." Small bookplate to front endpaper of Consorts with coronet and initials "M.A." consistent with Lady Airlie's ownership. The juxtaposition of the two works is striking. Published in the same year both examine the fates of royal women navigating dynastic marriages and political turbulence. Queen Mary's gift of these titles to Lady Airlie-herself part of Mary's inner court circle-suggests a moment of shared reflection on queenship duty and female endurance within monarchy. The books were inscribed in the coronation year of George V 1911-12 with Queen Mary newly established as consort. Provenance and association: - Inscribed by Queen Mary to Mabell Ogilvy Countess of Airlie Lady of the Bedchamber. - Bookplate of Lady Airlie "M.A." beneath coronet. - Five English Consorts also a direct authorial presentation copy to Queen Mary. Royal presentation copies and a genuinely interesting set combining royal and authorial presentation. . Very Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1912. Methuen hardcover

A discussion on the mythology and influence of celestial bodies. A French writer Pluche 1688-1761 was a classical professor at Reims before taking Holy Orders and becoming director of the college at Clarement. His opinions forced him to leave the college and he settled in France where he made his reputation with his popular work "Spectacle de al Nature" 1732 in nine volumes. It was translated into 9 languages and was popular in England. The present work was first issued in 1735. This Catholic apologist offers a extended discussion of Newtonianism and the conformity of modern science to the teachings of Genesis. "In his Histoire Pluche restated his opposition to the cosmologies proposed by the physicists-whom he termed `romans philosophiques'-- and sought to display the excellence of the physics of Moses which supposedly conforms to the teachings of both `history and experimental physics. He also attemped to demonstrate that monotheism preceded polytheism." Dic. of Scientific Biog. XI pp. 42-44. Jean Neaulme unknown books
