Memorials of Edward Spenser Burns F. R. G. S. with special reference to his work in the service of the International African Association

188619726London: For Private Circulation 1886. Hardcover. Good overall. A memorial vanity printing consisting of Burns' correspondence with his parents regarding his travels and exploration in America Australasia and Africa signed by his parents. Burns visited New Zealand and Australia between March and December of 1881. The majority of the letters pertain to his experience in Africa; these begin in 1883 and continue to 1885. Edward Spenser Burns 1861 - 1885 died on an expedition in the Congo at Stanley Pool at the age of 24 Proceedings of the Royal Geographical Society Annual Address June 8 1885. Burns was on the mission to the Congo for the International African Association opening up a new route towards the Kouilou-Niari River. His father a noted British temperance activist and minister assembled his son's correspondence and wrote the explanatory text in this memorial. Burns spent two years and 20 pp on his time in New Zealand from 1879 to 1881. He states that on his arrival there was a depression and there were no openings anywhere. He states there is a great deal of drinking in NZ visits the New Zealand Alps and has memories of a NZ Christmas. His time in New South Wales is shorter but covers 15pp writing about his droving a mob of horses some 300 miles to make money and visiting Newcastle Tamworth the Rivers Darling & Barwon Goondi Homebush & Sydney. One copy listed on Trove Lib Aus ID 44683907 at the State Library of NSW. The International African Association was established at the Brussels Geographic Conference in 1876 and was conceived of as a multi European nation scientific and humanitarian group meant to explore central Africa. It rapidly devolved into separately organized nationalized expeditions bent on African land acquisition. Henry M. Stanley worked secretly at this time for Leopold of Belgium to organize the Congo as a state; the French explorer de Brazza claimed the western Congo basin for the French; and Great Britain and Portugal cooperated to block access to the Atlantic. Young Edward Burns had just been named the Chief of Grantville which was the principal Station of the International Association in the Kwilu district. Burns' letters record many of his encounters with Henry Stanley including this one written from the "station of Isangila River Congo Sept 21 1884: "Stanley has had often a great difficulty with idiots to deal with and he told me himself that had he only had a few good English men and not a useless mixture of Belgians Swedes Germans Italians and Americans he could have done four times what he has towards the opening up of the Congo. If only this thing was under English management it would be very different! but the Belgian management in Brussels is something frightful". p195. Stanley wrote a letter of condolence to Burns' father included here. Small 8vo 240pp. Cream gilt cloth covers marked spine darkened. Libraries Australia ID 44683907.

To the Rev. Ernest Spenser Tiddeman

18657722Kerry Powys: unpublished circa 1865. Farewell address expressing the heartfelt thanks of the people of Kerry near Newtown Montgomeryshire/Powys and surrounding villages to Rev. E. S. Tiddeman for his endeavours in their parish likely on the occasion of his removal circa 1865 to the parish of Childerditch in Essex. The Subscribers wish to record specially their gratitude to Tiddeman for pioneering adult education in the area teaching "gratuitously reading writing and arithmetic to the working men of the neighbourhood" and his faithful exercise of his ministry: "It has not been unnoticed by us that during your short sojourn among us you have in the lonely hours of night sat by the bedside watching over the pillow of the dying." The villagers further beg Tiddeman to accept their gift of a silver pocket communion service as a humble token of their esteem and respect. A single paper leaf 35x53 cm penned in a cursive hand all text visible; paper foxed and stained missing 2x5 cm top left corner and parts of top edge; tears to top right corner patched front and rear with sticky labels. Four 'stubs' at bottom possibly remains of attachments for seals. Several horizontal creases as though once presented as a scroll. Tiddeman 1831-1898 was sometime second-master at Llanrwst Grammar School. His wife Harriet Spooner's family were instrumental in the construction and operation of the Ffestiniog Railway; and one of their sons was draughtsman with the LNER. Tiddeman's obituary stated the family tradition he was a direct descendant of the poet Edmund Spenser.

Spenser's Faery Queen.

1868FB940 /str shlfTan calf binding with red and blue marbled boards. Black title plate with gilt lettering banding and decoration on the spine. From the Chandos Classics Library published circa 1868.The Faery Queene is an English epic poem by Edmund Spenser. Books I–III were first published in 1590 then republished in 1596 together with books IV–VI. The Faerie Queene is notable for its form: at over 36000 lines and over 4000 stanzas it is one of the longest poems in the English language; it is also the work in which Spenser invented the verse form known as the Spenserian stanza. On a literal level the poem follows several knights as a means to examine different virtues and though the text is primarily an allegorical work it can be read on several levels of allegory including as praise or later criticism of Queen Elizabeth I. In Spenser's "Letter of the Authors" he states that the entire epic poem is "cloudily enwrapped in Allegorical devices" and that the aim of publishing The Faerie Queene was to "fashion a gentleman or noble person in virtuous and gentle discipline". Spenser presented the first three books of The Faerie Queene to Elizabeth I in 1589 probably sponsored by Sir Walter Raleigh. The poem was a clear effort to gain court favour and as a reward Elizabeth granted Spenser a pension for life amounting to £50 a year though there is no further evidence that Elizabeth I ever read any of the poem. This royal patronage elevated the poem to a level of success that made it Spenser's defining work.Edmund Spenser 1552/1553 – 13 January 1599 was an English poet best known for The Faerie Queene an epic poem and fantastical allegory celebrating the Tudor dynasty and Elizabeth I. He is recognized as one of the premier craftsmen of nascent Modern English verse and is often considered one of the greatest poets in the English language. Though Spenser was well-read in classical literature scholars have noted that his poetry does not rehash tradition but rather is distinctly his. This individuality may have resulted to some extent from a lack of comprehension of the classics. Spenser strove to emulate such ancient Roman poets as Virgil and Ovid whom he studied during his schooling but many of his best-known works are notably divergent from those of his predecessors. The language of his poetry is purposely archaic reminiscent of earlier works such as The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer and Il Canzoniere of Francesco Petrarca whom Spenser greatly admired. An Anglican and a devotee of the Protestant Queen Elizabeth Spenser was particularly offended by the anti-Elizabethan propaganda that some Catholics circulated. Like most Protestants near the time of the Reformation Spenser saw a Catholic church full of corruption and he determined that it was not only the wrong religion but the anti-religion. This sentiment is an important backdrop for the battles of The Faerie Queene. Spenser was called "the Poet's Poet" by Charles Lamb and was admired by John Milton William Blake William Wordsworth John Keats Lord Byron Alfred Tennyson and others. Among his contemporaries Walter Raleigh wrote a commendatory poem to The Faerie Queene in 1590 in which he claims to admire and value Spenser's work more so than any other in the English language. John Milton in his Areopagitica mentions "our sage and serious poet Spenser whom I dare be known to think a better teacher than Scotus or Aquinas". In the eighteenth century Alexander Pope compared Spenser to "a mistress whose faults we see but love her with them all." Frederick Warne & Co. hardcover
