2614930 June 1880. No place. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp 12mo. Bifolium. Sixty-one lines of text in Pusey’s distinctive minuscule and not always easily decipherable hand. Aged and worn. The item has been repaired after damp damage with the second leaf laid down on a piece of thick paper. Loss of a few words of text. Pusey begins by stating that his pamphlet ‘God’s Prohibition of the Marriage with a Deceased Wife’s Sister’ 1860 which he believes is out of print is ‘more readable than the longer book’ ‘Marriage with a Deceased Wife’s Sister’ 1849 of whose ‘very heavy form’ he gives a description. He explains why he feels it would be ‘hardly fair to republish it’. He discusses a ‘proposed change in the law of marriage’ before stating of his two works: ‘If your Lordship knew of any young man who would remould either of these he would be most welcome.’ He has 250 copies of the book he ‘could gladly place at your Lordship’s disposal’. He discusses what would need to be done to ‘recast it’ with reference to ‘social relations’. ‘I have looked again at my book and felt sure that no one would read it unless he wishes to carefully the whole question. It is dry. I remember that I felt that I was undergoing a sharp cross examination by Dr Lushington . It is an utterly unreadable book’. He continues with reference to a speech in the House of Lords and ‘Mr Keble’s pamphlet’. Pusey’s pamphlet was republished in the year following his death. 30 June 1880. No place. unknown

1923004526London et.al.: Humphrey Milford/Oxford University Press 1923. The Brothers Capek Josef 1887-1945 and Karel 1890-1938 were prominent members of the intellectual and artistic life of Europe. Karel is more famous today due to his science fiction classics 'R.U.R." and "War with the Newts" but they were frequent collaborators as here. Josef was murdered in Bergen-Belson; Karel escaped the same fate by expiring from natural causes before the Nazis got to him. Originally written and published in Czech this is the First Edition in English: "The authorized translation from the Czech by Paul Selver. Freely Adapted for the English Stage by Nigel Playfair and Clifford Bax." Some consider this a better play than "R.U.R." It was certainly famous among the modernist/leftist world who made political connections and an Irish version was even attempted by Flann O'Brien. This is a Near Fine copy of the First Printing. Bound in plum red paper with black titling on the front. Clean text; 69 pages. No real visible wear; the front cover and spine have faded to a sort of reddish tan; else a Fine copy. First Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Humphrey Milford/Oxford University Press Paperback
675816 February 1850; on illustrated letterhead. 4to 2 pp. Apparently the first leaf of the list only. On aged paper with wear and chipping to extremities but with text entirely legible. The letterhead carries an engraving 6.5 x 9.5 cm of a pile of books quill pen and ink pot with text advertising the 'Imprimerie Librairie et Cabinet de Lecture d'Aubin' printed on the open pages of one of the volumes. Beneath the illustration are the words 'LE MÉMORIAL D'AIX journal politique et littéraire' and there is further text to the right and left of it. In French. Written in two hands in light blue ink. A five-line initial note asking for the books to be quoted at the lowest possible price is followed by the list in another hand in two columns continuing to the end of the second page. Most of the items appear to be novels. The absence of signature and valediction suggests that the list is incomplete. See Image. 16 February 1850; on illustrated letterhead. unknown

629920 and 22 January and 3 March 1890; all from Scarsdale Great Malvern. All three items in very good condition. Interesting series of letters by an obscure 1890s poet. Letter One 12mo 7 pp: Although he realises that some are 'rather poor' he is sending through his brother possibly the artist Alan Wright 1864-1959 'all the lyrics I have by me': 'I have not had time to "weed" yet being veryy busily engaged writing lyrics for a Comedy-Opera 'Ethelinda or a Philanthropic Fad' 1890 on which he collaborated with Hamilton O. Wylde - & a libretto for Operetta; also been trying my hand at very sensational prose'. He has 'quite forgotten' the poem 'Yesterday': 'There is a lyric in the brown-paper-covered book "But Yesterday" - but I do not know if that is the one.' He will 'submit a Sonnet or something to "Igdrasil" shortly'. He misses 'Comus' a magazine edited by Parkes 1888-9: 'as there was always something to attract one in it - more than can be said for most mushroom-papers do forgive the epithet - it was not intended of this era'. He has been 'rather shakey' 'suffering with nicotine poisoning of the lower lip'. He is sending Parkes the 'last collection of my verses' entitled 'In Idle Hours' no copy on COPAC. 'It is coverless - Pardon that - I trust the inside will gain your favour. It is out of print - & only 12 copies were printed. Three on rough-edged paper - others as this one. It is I regret one of the follies of a year past. Cavil not therefore O Critic - but pity the poor deluded youth!' Letter Two 12mo 1 p: Parkes's 'friend may like to see the enclosed lyrics not present - which I have just written.' Letter Three 12mo 4 pp: Apologises for asking for the return of his lyrics 'safe to hand to night'. 'The Composer I sent to however was hard to please: in fact I was unable to do business with him'. He has a 'little collection of Sonnets . in the press' nothing on COPAC under either Broad or Wright. Wonders whether Parkes will 'put the Sonnet "Igdrasil" in the magazine of that name'. 'I suppose "Comus" will appear again "pro bono publico" - I have been writing short stories lately for which I seem to have a slight gift.' In fact my first was well received by a large firm & I am awaiting further hearing from them.' Hopes he may send 'anything in the poetry-line for insertion in "Igdrasil" as I shall submit nothing but what is worthy of my best attempts'. In a postscript reports that the libretto on which he has been collaborating see above is 'now musically complete' and 'on the eve of printing prior to copyrighting. It is of novel & original plot & action.' 20 and 22 January and 3 March 1890; all from Scarsdale, Great Malvern. unknown
