19658Letter from Rochester Kent ; 28 September 1872. Note from St. Margarets; 20 April 1877. Both items in fair condition aged and worn. ONE: ALS. 28 September 1872. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. He is 'taking somewhat of a liberty' but having heard 'that you are parting with one of your Clerks' says 'a word in favour of a person in whom for many reasons I take a great interest & of whom you & your Brothers may know something. I mean Mr. Prothero for many years an Inmate of my House & an Assistant Master in the School'. Prothero was 'for some years a Clerk in the County Court' but 'is obliged from paucity of business to leave it & is now out of employment'. He praises him as 'a most respectable & trustworthy man in whom you might place the most implicit confidence. He writes an admirable hand & his experience in the County Court would I should think fit him for the work of a Solicitors Orffice'. He has a wife and three children. TWO: ANS. 20 April 1877. 1p. 12mo. He thanks him for his 'friendly communication' and hopes to 'have the pleasure of meeting some members of the Corporation as proposed on Monday next'. The beginning of Raymond Postgate's review in the Spectator 31 August 1961 of Ralph Arnold's book sums up the story of 'The Whiston Matter': 'In the year 1842 the Reverend Robert Whiston was appointed by the Dean and Chapter to be headmaster of Rochester Cathedral grammar school which had been so badly run by the previous headmaster that only one pupil was left in it. He brought with him his own private pupils and his brother-in-law as assistant master; he was successful and popular and the school was ' quickly full again. The dean and chapter were pleased with him. They soon ceased to be. Whiston investigated the affairs of the cathedral and discovered that the statutes were being broken on a large scale. … The chapter had pocketed the proceeds of these malversations and he wrote to it requiring it to reform and using fairly peremptory terms. But they would not—they were by now very rich. … When Whiston published the facts about Rochester and other cathedrals in a pamphlet it was not very surprising that they dismissed him. … The story of his subsequent fight and victory against the cathedral reads like an excerpt from Trollope or Dickens; it was in fact used by both of them as raw material.'

He assures them that he is 'desirous of doing whatever may be right & proper in the matter' and asks them to grant him a license for which he will be happy to pay a 'reasonable amount'. He hopes concludes 'in the hope that you will not compel me to close an establishment which furnishes some employment in & contributes somewhat to the trade of the City'.

Although issued separately the work was also designed to be included as part of Wallis's 'Bookcase of Knowledge' which comprised ten works on a variety of subjects such as Arithmetic Astronomy Botany Geography History Mythology and Natural History all housed in a custom made miniature wooden bookcase to form a juvenile library.</p><p>'During the 1790s Ellenor Fenn was a force to be reckoned with in the promotion of what might be called home-reading-without-tears. A number of her books from this period mention or advertise boxes of letters and other equipment which were designed to help children learn through play. These experiments culminated in a series of brilliantly conceived "miniature libraries" initiated by her publisher John Marshall. They were sets of tiny books planned around themes and housed in wooden boxes whose lids were made to resemble the front of a bookcase. The first of these was actually the largest gThe Juvenile or Child's Libraryg 1799-1800 but it was quickly followed by the smaller gInfant's Libraryg 1800-1 - sixteen little books in a box - which proved to be the most popular of a whole succession of imitations . Once John Marshall had shown the way other publishers were quick to market alternatives to his Juvenile and Infant's libraries. As might be expected John Wallis with his involvement in maps games puzzles and so on was one of the foremost competitors.' Anderson & Oyens gBe Merry and Wise: Origins of Children's Book Publishing in England 1650-1850g 2006 p. 128.</p><p>In 1800 London publisher John Marshall decided that parents were not the only ones who deserved the pleasure of a book-filled library. Small children should have their own and henceforth gThe Infant's Libraryg was conceived designed and produced: John Wallis immediately copied his idea although he chose to issue the books in 1801 apparently without a wooden cabinet at first which was only supplied modelled on Marshall's in 1803.</p> London: Printed for J.
