So much interest and desire to participate in the movement has been expressed by our old students that we are led to believe that many of them would be willing - if able - to play with the orchestra at one or both of the Concerts which we intend giving.

[SALISBURY (William)]MareMagnum

A Catalogue of the Brompton Botanic Garden, being a List of such Plants as are cultivated therein. To which is added, a List of the Subscribers. Part I. containing hardy Plants. [all published].

First edition, part I all published, 8vo (190 x 115 mm), [12], 116pp., with the half-title and half-title, 5pp. list of subscribers, original boards, uncut, spine a little chipped, but still a very nice copy. This private botanical garden was originally opened by William Curtis in 1779 at Lambeth, but due to smoke pollution, he moved the plants to the larger gardens in Brompton. According to the Survey of London, "in 1789 William Curtis, the author of Flora Londinensis and the founder of The Botanical Magazine, took over from Rubergall as tenant and moved the botanical garden which he had opened in Lambeth in 1779 to this spot. The Brompton Botanic Garden, as it was known, covered about three and a half acres, almost exactly conforming to the area which is now occupied by the streets and houses on the hospital's estate, while the remaining four and a half acres to the north were used for experiments in agriculture. After Curtis's death in 1799 his partner William Salisbury kept the garden here until 1808 when he moved it to Sloane Street, Chelsea. He continued to use the ground at Brompton for a nursery, however, until 1829 when he was succeeded there by David Ramsay, whose establishment was known as the Queen's Elm or Swan Lane nursery." Rare; JISC locating just 3 copies (Oxford, Kew and Royal Horticultural Society Libraries).

Shabby and well-handled grubby finger prints abound cloth worn and split bumped. Hinges and spine cracked foxed. First ALS addressed to "My dear Pratt" taped to front pastedown and second ALS "To Lidgey" taped to ffep Elizabeth Pratt's short reply taped to rear pastedown obituary clippings pasted to title page and facing verso folded print of G L Stampa's 1919 portrait of the author inscribed by Lawrence "with blushes" to Miss Pratt laid in. A poor but unique and nevertheless charming copy. Thurston-born Charles Edward Lawrence 1870-1940 was a novelist and Honorary Secretary of the Savage Club a much-loved and long-standing reader at John Murray and editor of its Quarterly Review. The two holograph letters along with a matching envelope to rear are addressed to Pratt and Elizabeth Pratt "Lidgey" husband and wife it seems. Each was written from John Murray's 50A Albermarle Street address. Pratt's two-page letter 8.iii.23 featuring an Urban Club-stamp is practical and friendly but insistent in tone – "as I'm a cocky beast now that I am Hon. Sec. my word is law" – following up issues about club memberships and informing Pratt he is one of the Special Committee which "meets at the Savage Club at the luncheon hour of 1pm" to discuss "the Shakespeare festival". Written in verse Lawrence's two-page letter to Lidgey 2.ii.22 appears to be a playful response to her own brief lines taped to rear pastedwon a correspondence that revolved around her being the namesake of Lawrence's protagonist in The Iron Bell Elizabeth Pratt. Lawrence hails her as "the Urban Sapho". The artist and Punch cartoonist George Loraine Stampa 1875–1951 was also member of the Savage Club. Daniel O'Connor hardcover

In fair condition on aged and worn paper with short closed tears at edges of folds. An interesting perspective on the British aviation industry from what Dr T. R. Bromund of Yale University has described as 'the industrial wing of the Empire lobby'. The opening paragraph reads: 'Owing to the recent resignation of the entire Board with one exception of the British Overseas Airways Corporation the public has become dimly aware that British Air Transport is facing a crisis but as yet has little or no idea of the magnitude of the issues involved. It cannot be expected to grasp the inescapable truth that on the result of the handling of these issues may depend the whole future of British Overseas Trade and consequently of the way of life in these Islands. This is no exaggeration as we shall show in the opening paragraphs.' What follows is a brief 'history of British Air Transport since Air Transport became an accomplished fact' the author's contention being that Britain 'finished the last war with a Fighting Air Fleet vastly superior to any other in the world' and that this was 'immediately cut to a mere skeleton and it never seems to have occurred to the Government of the day to regard the air as of the smallest important from a Civil point of view.' After this section on 'Early Struggles' there sections headed 'An Imperial Basis' 'Vital Issues' 'Wanted - A Man' 'The Freedom of the Air' 'Looking Ahead' 'The Sea and the Air' and 'Now'. The author's contention is that 'The Empire which depends for its very existence on military co-operation at the present moment will in the future depend equally on commercial co-operation.'
