14270Without place or date. From 'Punch's Almanack' London 1859. 1p.12mo. Fifty-three lines of small type. Good on lightly-aged and ruckled paper with traces of mount on blank reverse. The item begins: 'MR. PUNCH is accustomed to receive letter and treaties imploring him not to call homoeopathy fudge and some of them attempting to assign reasons why he should not. In all these communications the medical opponents of homoepathy are called "allopathists."' Later on the author comments: 'PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY is perhaps an allopathist; however he does not tell us on what principle his pills and ointments cure all diseases. The various doctors who advertise their patent medicines in the quack's corners of the newspapers of the baser sort may be allopathists also; and likewise the medical profession possibly contains a few fools or impostors who are so desirable.' The last paragraph reads: 'Mr. Punch's homoeopathic friends seem to forget that statements of facts which are contradictory to common sense and received science require rigid proof. None of them propose any method by which the active properties of an infinitesimal globule can be demonstrated. Neither homoeopathists nor mesmerists nor spiritualists either offer or accept the test of any experimentum crucis; and when Mr. Punch asks for it they answer by abuse and the comparison of themselves to GALILEO and those who laugh at them to the Inquisition.' From the papers of F. A. Bulley of the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Without place or date. [From 'Punch's Almanack', London, 1859.] unknown

14716Messrs. Thompson Hankey & Co. 'at a meeting held at their Counting House in Fenchurch St. on the 24th Decr. 1830.' 27 January 1831. The connection between the two firms of London bankers Thompson Hankey & Co. and Plummer & Wilson & Co. is unclear but after the bankruptcy of John Plummer and William Wilson of Fenchurch Street 1831 a new firm named Hankey Plummer & Wilson was formed Plummer & Wilson bringing to it a number of clients including Beckford. The source of Beckford's vast wealth was of course the family's sugar plantations in the West Indies and this document dates from before the abolition of slavery. 3pp. foolscap 8vo. Bifolium. Very good on laid paper with Britannia watermark of 'E SMITH 1828'. Six numbered points are given beginning with: '1o. That Messrs. Hankey & Co. shall pay over the Balance due from Wm.

Plummer & Wilson without any Charge for Commission; but before such Balance is paid over the Accounts shall be subject to the examination of Mr. Smith the accountant from the 30th. April 1825 to the close of Messrs. Plummer & Wilson's books.'
