Manley Sims and "Manley Sims Eton Collection" ink stamp to title page:Francis Manley Sims F.R.C.S. was a 19th-century physician and surgeon based in London's West End. A dedicated book collector he is best known to historians for assembling the notable "Manley Sims Collection" of rare books and Etoniana which he donated to his alma mater Eton College.Born on June 19th 1841 at Stoke-by-Nayland Suffolk the son of the Rev Frederick Sims Rector of West Bergholt Essex and Fellow of Exeter College Oxford. He spent his early life in Suffolk and was educated at Colchester Grammar School. Shortly before he was 16 he was apprenticed to the then well-known practitioner Thomas Young of Sackville Street W and soon entered as a student at St George's Hospital. Rising very early - at five o'clock every morning - he studied medicine and modern languages before beginning the work of the day with his principal and was thus able to carry off all the prizes at his hospital where he was appointed House Surgeon and afterwards Demonstrator of Physiology. He started practice in Down Street Mayfair and in 1870 joined partnership with William Fuller of 111 Piccadilly whose niece he married in 1875. In 1884 on the virtual retirement of William Fuller he was joined in partnership by H Roxburgh Fuller of Curzon Street who remained with him to the end.Manley Sims became a most fashionable physician with probably the largest West-End practice and his life was one of tireless labour. As of old he rose very early and was often on his rounds in his brougham before breakfast. He was seldom in bed after 5.30 am whatever the duties of the previous night had been and during the whole of this enormously long working day his powers of close attention accurate insight and sympathy remained unabated. It is to his credit that he was very helpful and generous to poor patients and possessing as he did the ear of a wealthy and influential clientele he could often contrive a scheme of assistance in cases of sickness and misery that was practical besides being well meant. To do so was the greatest possible source of pleasure to him. He was a firm and generous friend an interesting companion full of reminiscences and experiences and well read.Abbey Scenery no. 440 London: Printed for and published by for R.

The Little Lady of the Big House

1916L1100vi392393-3944 ad pages with frontispiece in color. Small octavo 7 3/4" x 5 1/4" bound in original publisher's blue cloth with lettering to front cover decoration with pictorial view of "The Big House" in cream and orange a Spanish hacienda Modeled on Mrs Phoebe Hearst's Hacienda del Pozo de Verona at Pleasanton California. In foreground are black palm trees and light blue walk. e and gilt lettering to spine. In original pictorial jacket. BAL 11966; Sisson & Martens p. 87 First edition of which 18448 copies were printed. The Little Lady of the Big House was his last novel to be published during London's lifetime.The story concerns a love triangle The protagonist Dick Forrest is a rancher with a poetic streak his "acorn song" recalls London's play The Acorn Planters. His wife Paula is a vivacious athletic and sexually self-aware woman who falls in love with Evan Graham an old friend of her husband. Unable to choose between the two men she wounds herself mortally with a rifle in what her husband is certain is a suicide. Biographer Clarice Stasz writes that the book is "not autobiography" but speaks of London's "frank borrowing from his life with Charmian" his second wife and says it is "psychologically valid as a mirror of events during the winter of 1912–13". Paula like Charmian is subject to insomnia and is unable to bear children. Based on a reading of Charmian's diary Stasz identifies Evan Graham with two real-life men named Laurie Smith and Allan Dunn.
