909519 August 1844; Court of Bankruptcy. 12mo 3 pp. Thirty-three lines. Text clear and complete. Fair on lightly-aged paper with traces of mount on reverse of second leaf which is docketed 'C. Fane to G. Joy 19 Augt. 1844'. A significant and interesting letter on a topic later tackled by Dickens in 'Bleak House' by a judge who was an active member of the Law Amendment Society and whose decisions according to his entry in the Oxford DNB 'were frequently the subject of comment' although 'very few of his judgments were reversed on appeal'. Fane sympathises with Joy's 'misfortunes' as he does 'with the case of every man who has the misfortune to be involved in a Chancery suit'. There is however nothing that he could proposer 'relating to Insolvency or Bankruptcy' that could 'redress the wrongs to wh. the delays of Chancery have subjected you'. The main cause of these delays is the 'tossing of the suitor from the Judge to the Master & from the Master to the Judge till the subjt. in dispute is wasted in expense'. The only remedy is for the judge to be compelled 'to carry out his own desires without references to Masters' or to 'so raise the station power & responsibilities of Masters as that they shall become independent judges'. Small contemporary cutting laid down at head of first page reading 'SUBDIVISION COURT WEST SIDE. Commissioners. Sir Charles Frederick Williams kt. Josh. Evans esq. hon. Robert G. Cecil Fane.' 19 August 1844; Court of Bankruptcy. unknown

Collection of eleven items. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. ONE: Typescripts of 13 radio talks. 65pp. 4to. On loose leaves. Titles: 1 'Our Earth in Space'; 2 'Dreams of other Worlds'; 3 'Rockets into Space'; 4 'Man-made Moons'; 5 'Man in Space'; 6 'Space Research and Ourselves'; 7 'Contact with the Moon'; 8 '"One small Step . . . ."'; 9 'Space Stations and Lunar Bases'; 10 'Mariners to Mars'; 11 'Into the Hot Regions'; 12 'The Grand Tour'; 13 'Flight to the Stars'. With a few manuscript emendations by Moore in black felt-tip pen and other editorial emendations. TWO: Version of Item One substantially rewritten for publication. 79pp. folio. On loose leaves. Titles: 1 'Men and the Stars'; 2 'Watchers of the Stars'; 3 'The Sun's Family'; 4 'The Moon World'; 5 'Our Neighbour Planets'; 6 'Giants of the Solar System'; 7 'Wanderers in Space'; 8 'Our Star - The Sun'; 9 'Other Suns'; 10 'Stars of Many Kinds'; 11 'Gas Clouds and Island Universes'; 12 'Beginnings and Endings'; 13 'Life Elsewhere' THREE: Typed 'Foreword' to Item Two by 'Patrick Moore Selsey 1972.' With extensive autograph emendations. The second paragraph of three reads: 'The SABC English Service had invited me to make a short series of broadcasts. This was followed later by a second series; and after that it was suggested that I should present regular weekly broadcasts on astronomical topics. There have been many requests for copies of these talks and the present book has grown out of them. Obviously they have been modified and some of the essentially topical but now outdated references have been removed; but I hope they present a varied and perhaps historical account of events during 1972 a momentous year in astronomical progress.' FOUR to EIGHT: Five Typed Letters Signed all 'Patrick' from Moore to 'Dear David' - H. David Lloyd of the South African Boradcasting Corporation Johannesburg. Totalling six pages. The correspondence concerns the preparation of the talks for publication. In the first letter 11 November 1972 he writes: 'I dropped everything and did my best. I have amended the articles to make them untopical . I have added a Foreword and I have managed to scrape up a picture for each talk.' On 27 November 1972 he writes that he is 'off to America on Monday for Apollo 17 but have arranged two sessions at the BBC this week before I go. I will therefore be well ahead. Wish I could do one direct from Cape kennedy; but it's too risky'. A letter of 15 January 1973 largely devoted to the 'mystery' of tapes of talks despatched by the BBC which have not arrived in South Africa has as postscript: 'Forgive typing. I am used to a 1908 machine and the BBC one is modern!' On 23 January 1973 he asks if anything came of 'the book of the talks As you know I rushed it through before I went to America in December because I gathered it was needed before Christmas; but I haven't heard another thing!! I'd be most grateful if you'd let me know; and if you are NOT publishing them after all I'd be glad to have them back because someone else is very interested in doing them Reid's.' In the last letter 5 February 1973 he discusses the talks expresses relief at the arrival of the tapes and pleasure at the news about the book. He concludes: 'I do hope to see you again this year. I have the pleasantest possible memories of South Africa!' NINE: Autograph Card Signed 'P' by Moore. 11 November 1972. With his Farthings letterhead.

Sheridan was an Irish stage actor educator and incidentally godson of Jonathan Swift and father of the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan as well as a major proponent of the elocution movement. In Western classical rhetoric elocution the art of delivering speeches was one of the five core disciplines of pronunciation emerging as a formal discipline during the eighteenth century. Sheridan's lectures on the subject collected in Lectures on Elocution 1762 and Lectures on Reading 1775 provided directions for marking and reading aloud passages from literature. N. B.

From an edition limited to 580 copies this is one of 515 copies in the "Colonial Edition" Inserted leaf from the Bible printed by Robert Aitken Philadelphia 1782 from Deuteronomy; and 8 illustrations. 34 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. From an edition limited to 580 copies this is one of 515 copies in the "Colonial Edition" printed for John Howell Books by the Grabhorn Press and containing an essay by Edwin Grabhorn on typography in America in 1776. This volume contains an original leaf from a copy of the Aitken Bible one of the most celebrated American bibles being the first complete English Bible printed in America. During the colonial era the monopoly on printing English bibles belonged to the Royal Printer and the colonies were supplied entirely with bibles printed in England. The only Bible printed in the British colonies in America was the famous Eliot Indian Bible in Algonquian issued in Cambridge in 1661-63 and reprinted in 1680-85. With the Revolution this monopoly naturally ended and the embargo on goods from England acted to create a shortage. Aitken a Philadelphia printer undertook the task producing the New Testament in 1781 and the Old Testament in 1782. On completion he petitioned the Continental Congress for their endorsement and received it in September 1782. Because of this official endorsement and the reasons behind its production the Aitken Bible is often referred to as "The Bible of the Revolution" Grabhorn Bibliography 131 Printed by Edwin & Robert Grabhorn for John Howell at the Sign of the Open Book unknown
