Handwritten notes in the margin acknowledge the message has been circulated accordingly to the request. Biographical Notes: SIR THOMAS PHILLIPPS 1792-1872. Born in 1792 Sir Thomas Phillipps from childhood was obsessed with the idea of obtaining virtually anything written or printed on paper including cartloads of documents from wastepaper merchants and the entire inventories of booksellers. "I wish to have one copy of every book in the world" he declared to a friend. He very nearly succeeded. His collection ultimately grew to more than 100000 books and at least 60000 manuscripts. As a result of his extravagant purchases Sir Thomas was permanently on the verge of bankruptcy and was constantly pursued by creditors. So many books arrived at his house that it was impossible to unpack his acquisitions much less keep pace with them. Visiting scholars driven to distraction would spend days hunting for an elusive text in the dusty heaps that filled every room. Because Sir Thomas has a morbid dread of fire most of his collection was housed in coffinlike boxes that could be carted away quickly. Visitors to Middle Hill were struck too by the presence of numerous logs a ploy he used to lure beetles away from his books. As Sir Thomas relentlessly pursued his passion the house itself began to crumble and its floors started to sag under the cast weight of hundreds of tons of paper. His neglect of Middle Hill was partly deliberate however. Sir Thomas's chief enemy in life James Halliwell had married his daughter against his wishes. It appears that Halliwell was in Sir Thomas' eyes the worst kind of criminal a book thief who had stolen valuable works from university libraries and even from his father-in-law. Having no sons Sir Thomas was unable to prevent Halliwell from inheriting his estate. To ensure that his detested heir would never receive anything of value Sir Thomas's solution was to allow Middle Hill to fall unto complete disrepair. He even went so far as to chop down and sell for lumber the centuries-old oak trees that lined the majestic mile-long drive to his home. In 1863 Sir Thomas decided to move - in order to accommodate his books. With the aid of 160 men 103 wagonloads of books and papers drawn by 230 horses the books were lumbered from Middle Hill top their new estate in nearby Cheltenham. It is said that for years afterwards the countryside was littered with the remains of carts that had collapsed under the sheer weight of the Phillipps collection. Sir Thomas continues to add to his library until his death in 1872. After Sir Thomas's death his immediate family had no room for his collection. So vast was the library that although individual items and large sections were sold privately or through numerous auction sales the Phillipps collection is still being sold more than a century after the death of its owner. In the course of its sales many treasures have come to light. As late as 1964 part of the long-lost and unique medieval manuscript of the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses appeared and was subsequently reunited with its other half at Magdalen College Oxford. Once destined for destruction as worthless wastepaper this and many other priceless works were saved by the single-minded obsession of the greatest bibliomaniac of all time. Autograph. Manuscript.

In 'Note Book Made of paper Specially prepared in Japan'. On front cover: 'J. GROSE British Equestrian Team Yo-yogi Village Olympic Diary'. Begins on 23 September with flight from London Airport via Bombay. In Hong Kong he dines with 'Algie Lady O'Connor' at Flagstaff House. In the Olympic Village at Yoyogi on 26 September he discusses problems 'in our hut 448' before inspecting 'the Equestrian Centre Baji-Koen'. The main topic is the quarantine exercising area in Karuizawa' which the British French and Australian teams deem 'most unsatisfactory'. Other topics include: 'the arrival of the French horse plane'; an agreement that 'Bob Armstrong should live at stables'; 'the Cocktail Party for the British athletes at the Embassy'; 'the draw for Dressage & Grand Prix Jumping' 'I was unlucky enough to draw us number 1'; training; the stable manager and his staff 'softened up' with a bottle of whisky; the acquisition of tickets and press passes; various meetings. On 28 September Grose has 'a confrontation with MR NOMURA Secretary of the JEF Japanese Equestrian Federation & their titular head with the following result: 'Eventually JEF promised to let us know by noon tomorrow whether Australian & British horses could quarantine here & for how many days It became clear that it was NOT shortage of boxes that bothered them so much as favouring us both at the expense of other nations. In fact they went back on what we thought were the undertakings made yesterday. However the Australians took a tough line promised to inform the Press etc & were seeing the President of the J.O.C. Japanese Olympic Committee this evening. Nomura said Mr Du Bois had passed the quarantine site: I said we had always reserved the right to decide when we got here & saw the relative facilities & had been told we could gallop in quarantine etc etc'. The disagreements are not settled and on 2 October Grose writes: 'Then got urgent message to see Sandy Sandy Duncan. The Australians had issued an extremely rude Press release copy filed about the quarantine & try areas at K. Also heard the French had complained officially.' He finds the opening ceremony 'a fine spectacle with a vast crowd & v. well organised' but adds that 'Most of us did not find it moving as the various contingents did not know whether to be serious or not. A few marched well including our women. Some were unconsciously funny others waved to their friends or waved flags etc. The latter chiefly oriental or non-curtain.' The final entry 14 October is short and ends mid-sentence. At the rear are three pages recording the sale and purchase of tickets with names of parties and amounts paid. The final page of the volume carries 'Accounts' from 25 September to 24 October beginning with '3 Bottles Whisky' to bribe the stable manager and ending with 'Soda Water'. Loosely inserted are two telegrams to Grose in Tokyo from 'Ansell' in London 6 and 21 October 1964; calling cards of Keiji Nomura and J. G. Hasegawa; four Japanese receipts; a pencil autograph draft of a telegram from Grose regarding a disqualification. A final item is a carbon copy of an autograph letter from Grose to 'Jane' dated from Yoyogi Village 4 October 1964 which he describes as a 'situation report for Col Ansell BHS & BSJA' and in which he describes how the team had 'three problems before arrival of horses' followed by 'tedious negotiations' and problems with 'the exercising facilities' which have 'caused quite a stir & you may have read about it in the British Press. They were hopeless. .' 'British Equestrian Team | Yo-yogi Village' [Tokyo, Japan]. 23 September to 14 October 1964. unknown
