Genealogical Tables showing descent of Miss Ruth Moore Mrs. Arthur H. Lee. Manuscript and watercolor title

19008495New York 1900. Very good. 13Â¼â€ x 10â€. Full leather gilt title to front board thin card leaves. 19 handwritten and illustrated pages. Very good due to moderate wear to boards; internally near fine with a hint of dust soiling. This is a gorgeous and strikingly illustrated genealogy commissioned by a 25 year-old New York socialite not long after the loss of her well-known father as well as her marriage to a British military officer. Ruth Moore was born in Brooklyn around 1874 and was the daughter of John Godfrey Moore. John Godfrey was a major industrialist during the Gilded Age and was best known for successfully suing the United States government in 1893 to stop the new income tax act ultimately delaying it by 20 years. He died suddenly and unexpectedly in 1899 leaving Ruth with half of his massive estate. Ruth married Arthur Hamilton Lee soon after her father's death in 1899. With Ruth's inheritance Arthur was able to retire from the military in his early 30s and start a very successful political career in Britain being elected to the House of Commons in 1900. Arthur also maintained a robust correspondence with President Theodore Roosevelt. The couple later donated their country estate â€“ Chequers â€“ in 1917 to the British government for use in perpetuity by successive prime ministers. Arthur became Viscount Lee of Fareham a member of the House of Lords and Ruth became a Viscountess until her death in 1965. The genealogist was a woman Miss M.L. Hawley and we are unable to find anything about her. The artist W.H. Abbott ran a business in New York called â€œThe Bureau of Heraldryâ€ and published Heraldry Illustrated in 1897. This book begins with an elaborately designed title page in ink and watercolor and Moore's family is traced back to 1653. Included among the handsomely written data are 30 heraldic crests in ink and watercolor. They are as large as five inches by three inches and many are heightened with gold and/or silver. All leap off the page while colorfully representing the following families: Andrews Bidwell Bissell Capron Champernowne Cutts Denison Dodge Dyer Filley Fitch Garfield Goodhue Griswold Green Howland Littlefield Millet Newberry Parish Phelps Pinney Ridley Stoughton Thayer Tracy Tuttle Wadsworth Warham Wilson. Simply stunning. unknown

Sinclair contributed the foreword along with letters from H.G. Wells and George Bernard Shaw who states: "Clearly the White House is the only safe place for an honest man like Debs". An interesting pair of copies inscribed to Gardner 1884-1968 acclaimed stage actress and the first actress to form her own production company. Moved by his circumstances and deeply influenced by his speeches she visited him in prison in 1920 bringing him an autographed photo and beginning a correspondence that would last through the mid-1920's. In a December 21 1920 letter she writes: "Let me tell you that I was surprised to find my emotional self somewhat unaffected while I listened to you talk. I know the reason now. It is the same with you as it was with Epictetus prison walls cannot confine the spirit -- the mind is ever free. So in a way I did not feel your plight as keenly as I would that of another who had little vision little intelligence little understanding about his body being so small a part of the real him that his confinement was of the physical order only." While the "special edition" of 500 with signed bookplate by Debs appears with some frequency inscribed copies of Debs and the Poets are genuinely uncommon. Upton Sinclair unknown
