2399817 May 1911; on letterhead of 14 Waverton Street Berkeley Square W. London. Chambers is not mentioned in Dame Nellie Melba’s entry in the Oxford DNB. She met him in London in 1895 and their affair ended for unknown reasons in 1904. It is clearly the ‘notorious’ affair in whose fame Chambers ‘rejoiced to the last’ according to Somerset Maugham’s devastating assessment of the man in ‘A Writer’s Notebook’ 1946. Harry de Windt gives a markedly kinder account of Chambers in his ‘My Note-Book at Home and Abroad’ 1923. The recipient of this letter is Osma Mary Dorothy Allhusen 1877-1965 wife of Conservative MP Augustus Henry Eden Allhusen 1867-1825 of Stoke Court Buckinghamshire. 2pp 12mo. Nineteen lines of text. In good condition lightly aged. Folded once. Signed ‘C Haddon Chambers’. His reply has been delayed by absence from town. ‘It is extremely kind of you to invite me to Stoke Court & I should so much like to come to you - but alas! I shant be in England on 8th July according to present arrangements.’ He suggests a visit ‘sometime in the Autumn’. He is ‘going to New York to produce ‘Passers By†in September but expect to be home at the end of October.’ 17 May 1911; on letterhead of 14 Waverton Street, Berkeley Square, W. [London.] unknown

FIRST EDITION OF THE MOST COMPLETE OF ALL WORKS ON KING CHARLES I OF ENGLAND AND THE KINGDOM. Charles I 1600 – 1649 was King of England Scotland and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649.<br />Charles was born into the House of Stuart as the second son of King James VI of Scotland. After his father inherited the English throne in 1603 he moved to England where he spent much of the rest of his life. He became heir apparent to the kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland in 1612 upon the death of his elder brother Henry Frederick Prince of Wales.<br />After his accession in 1625 Charles quarreled with the English Parliament which sought to curb his royal prerogative. He believed in the divine right of kings and was determined to govern according to his own conscience. Many of his subjects opposed his policies in particular the levying of taxes without Parliamentary consent and perceived his actions as those of a tyrannical absolute monarch. His religious policies coupled with his marriage to a Catholic generated antipathy and mistrust from Reformed religious groups such as the English Puritans and Scottish Covenanters who thought his views too Catholic. He supported high church Anglican ecclesiastics and failed to aid continental Protestant forces successfully during the Thirty Years' War. His attempts to force the Church of Scotland to adopt high Anglican practices led to the Bishops' Wars strengthened the position of the English and Scottish parliaments and helped precipitate his own downfall.<br />From 1642 Charles fought the armies of the English and Scottish parliaments in the English Civil War. After his defeat in 1645 at the hands of the Parliamentarian New Model Army he fled north from his base at Oxford. Charles surrendered to a Scottish force and after lengthy negotiations between the English and Scottish parliaments was handed over to the Long Parliament in London. Charles refused to accept his captors' demands for a constitutional monarchy and temporarily escaped captivity in November 1647. Re-imprisoned on the Isle of Wight he forged an alliance with Scotland but by the end of 1648 the New Model Army had consolidated its control over England. Charles was tried convicted and executed for high treason in January 1649. The monarchy was abolished and the Commonwealth of England was established as a republic. The monarchy was restored in 1660 with Charles's son Charles II as king.<br />Archbishop William Laud whom Parliament beheaded during the war called Charles a "mild and gracious prince who knew not how to be or how to be made great." Charles was more sober and refined than his father but he was intransigent. He deliberately pursued unpopular policies that brought ruin on himself. Both Charles and James were advocates of the divine right of kings but while James's ambitions concerning absolute prerogative were tempered by compromise and consensus with his subjects Charles believed he had no need to compromise or even to explain his actions. He thought he was answerable only to God. "Princes are not bound to give account of their actions" he wrote "but to God alone". wiki</p> Printed by James Flesher for R.
