1825AQ33560London: s.n. 1825. Single leaf broadside. Two small marginal holes to left hand edge. An early playbill marking the ninth performance of Irish dramatist James Sheridan Knowles' 1784-1862 adaptation of Schiller's famous revolutionary Swiss drama William Tell. First staged at Drury Lane on the 11th May Knowles' translation was criticised by Thomas Rea for its excessive melodrama making the hero 'so loquacious as to seem almost a braggart.' Despite this the performance of William Macready in the title role was much applauded and Thomas Archer was suitably despicable as the villainous character of Gesler. The first adaptation of William Tell performed in England was staged at the Royal Amphitheatre on 7th June 1802 with Knowles' version being the second produced in 1825; the first - and a more critically acclaimed - full English translation had been produced by Samuel Robinson only months prior. The subsequent evening entertainment is advertised as the sixtieth showing of Der Freischütz the Romantic opera by Carl Maria von Weber 1786-1826. . Dimensions 204 x 350 mm. [s.n.] unknown

Based on the Scottish folk hero of the same name and adapted from Sir Walter Scott's 1818 Waverley Novel Rob Roy the title role would be played by acclaimed English stage actor William Charles Macready 1793-1873. Pocock would go on to adapt further Waverley novels for the stage although less successfully including Montrose or the Children of the Mist 1822 and Woodstock 1826. . Dimensions 210 x 328 mm. [s.n.] unknown
1828AQ33562London: s.n. 1828. Single leaf broadside. Some loss to left-hand edge and small tear to upper right-hand corner.

Most famous for the Berners Street Hoax of 1809 during which he invited countless men and women of note to a single house in Tottenham to win a bet with a friend Hook is considered to be the first recipient of a postcard - likely mailed to himself. The evening's additional entertainment consists of a new Operetta titled 'Love in Wrinkles or the Russian Strategem' and the ninth performance of Charles the XII or The Siege of Stralsund a two-act historical drama by James Robinson Planché 1796-1880 based on the life of said King of Sweden. .

22783On letterhead of The Western Times Office Exeter. 30 March 185 '. Phelps's entry in the Oxford DNB gives the background to the present letter stating that Phelps 'married Sarah Cooper 1810/11–1867 on 11 August 1826; she was just sixteen. However their marriage was very happy: they were a devoted couple and Sarah later served as Phelps's dresser. Phelps preferred home life with her to clubs or social gatherings. His other delights were angling and shooting and he purportedly knew every trout stream in England. They had three sons and three daughters including William Robert 1828–1867 who became chief justice of St Helena and Edmund d. 1870 who became an actor.' 3pp 12mo. Bifolium.

With reference to his son William Robert noticed above he writes: 'I took a long walk with Bob this morning and had a long talk with him - he seems perfectly settled - Latimer says he gets on famously - his health is very much better and he looks well'. He asks her to write and tell him 'how the Concert went off last night and what was in the house - Mr Latimer is laying down all kinds of plans for my going to all sorts of places but I think I can come home at the end of the week'. If he finds 'any difficulty in getting away' 'Greenwood' - i.e. Thomas Greenwood the lessee of Sadler's Wells - is to 'send a line to say I am wanted'. He ends by asking her to 'have every thing ready to start off for Farningham as soon as I return - the holidays are short and I must make the most of my time - Kiss the boy all over for me God bless you my darling S.
