2084356 St John's Park Mansions Highgate N. London '3 of July 1913'. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium on grey paper. In good condition lightly aged. The letter would appear to concern both of the books which Shaw published with Routledge in 1913: 'The Encyclopaedia of the Poultry Yard' and 'The Encyclopaedia of the Kennel'. He begins by explaining that he is finally sending in 'title page & dedication which I should have sent in earlier had I not been awaiting Mr Ts permission to dedicate the book to him. I only received his letter this afternoon.' He next turns to the illustrations regarding which he was 'under the belief that you had arranged with Mr Fowler to endeavour to obtain some of dogs for you'. Shaw cannot find any individuals 'to pay the price asked for illustrations of their animals. Whether it is that times are bad or that there are now so many illustrated papers in existence I dont know but the fact remains that I have been unable to get the price.' He will be seeing Fowler and feels 'sanguine' that he 'can get some advertisements. When I last saw him he was waiting for some specimen pages.' He asks for 'pulls of all the Poultry blocks you have in hand' and undertakes to 'see that the number is completed'. The author of this letter is not to be confused with the cricketer Vero Shaw 1854-1905 latterly Vero Shaw-Mackenzie. 56 St John's Park Mansions, Highgate, N. [London] '3 of July [1913]'. unknown

This anthology contains works by notable authors such as Orville Dewey, one of Wordsworth's American friends. Dewey's essay, 'Practical Hints on Reading', advocates reading as a means of improving the lower classes. Harriet Beecher Stowe writes 'A Sketch', juxtaposing a rich man, with an ornate, unread bible next to his bed, with a poor woman, with a well read penny edition of the bible. Too poor to buy wood, she and her children huddle together and read the bible, achieving a spiritual warmth. Once again, reading for spiritual improvement and consolation is emphasized. NW51
