19006Ordered by The House of Commons to be Printed 26 May 1834. 38 1pp. folio. Disbound. In fair condition on aged paper with the first leaf chipped and frayed at edges. Repaginated with a stamp 119-158. Kilmainham Hospital was a home for retired soldiers along the lines of Les Invalides and much of the material in this paper consists of correspondence of Secretaries of State for War John Cam Hobhouse and Edward Ellice. The volume is a response to Hobhouse's proposal 'to bring into one building and under one management the several establishments of the in-pensioners of Chelsea and of Kilmainham hospitals. . These institutions are not peculiarly appropriated to the worn-out Irish soldier or to the orphans of native Irish soldiers; and the institutions in England are open equally to the British and Irish soldier and orphan I am not therefore aware of any national reason for maintaining separate establishments under separate managements at a very considerable increased expense to the public for institutions which appear to be precisely similar in their objects.' Scarce: the only copy on COPAC at the National Library of Scotland. Ordered, by The House of Commons, to be Printed, 26 May 1834. unknown

24910Letters undated: two on letterhead of The Pightle Sheringham Norfolk; one from The Pightle on cancelled letterhead of The Clyffe Corton Lowestoft; one on letterhead of 3 New Square Lincoln’s Inn London. Note: 14 January 1894; from New Square. While his entry in the Oxford DNB notes that Birrell was a loyal supporter of Gladstone in the early part of his parliamentary career it does not allude to his intimate involvement during that period in what would now be called the public relations of his party as evidenced by this correspondence which comes from the papers of Arthur George Liddon Rogers 1864-1944 son of the editor of the economist Thorold Rogers and written while Rogers was Secretary of the Liberal Publication Department a position to which he was appointed in November 1891. The five items are in good condition lightly aged and folded for postage. The four letters total 13pp 12mo and are on four bifoliums. One is unsigned although apparently complete it has ‘At Sherringham’ written at the end; the other three letters and the note are signed ‘A Birrell’. Birrell begins the unsigned letter written on ‘Sunday’ from The Pightle on cancelled The Clyffe letterhead: ‘I think we must do something. I will revise the Home. Rule. pamphlet if you send me the necessary documents’. He asks: ‘Is anything done as to the short historical account of the proceedings in Committee with apt quotations This ought to be ready for the oratorical campaign if there is to be one in the Autumn Recess. / What about the Lords We ought to analyse the Dossier List & be sarcastic at the expense of the whipped up gang of nobodies.’ He ends ‘Have you a quorum If so whip ’em up & discuss the subject. What about Betterment & the action of the Lords - Benn might write a leaflet for us.’ A letter of ‘Oct 6’ can be dated to 1893 as it discusses plans for publication of what appeared in that year as ‘The Liberal magazine: A Periodical for the use of Liberal Speakers and Canvassers’ ceasing publication in 1950. That letter begins: ‘The holy days are undoubtedly slipping through my fingers & before many days are over I shall be recalled to Town - but I can’t exactly say when. The first moments of my return shall be dedicated to you. / In the meantime I will pay the utmost attention to any points you may submit to me. / The Liberal Magazine is a harmless title & I daresay the best. The Radical will turn up his supposedly ill-shaped probscis at the name. When will you get your first number out You mention complaints. To what points are they directed. Insufficiency of matter or inefficiency of style & treatment or both. We ought to boil down Macmillan’s Book ‘50 years of the House of Lords’ into a short pamphlet. I recommended this being done months ago. Let me know the present situation of affairs at the Office.’ In another letter he discusses his plans with regard to a meeting observing ‘I really don’t see that we are much behind-hand but if speed is wanted it does not do to be too particular. Macmillan’s Book was I daresay not perfect but it was good enough for our purposes which are momentary.’ If Rogers has ‘any tracts ready’ he should bring them with him to the meeting. A third letter written in red ink begins: ‘I don’t like your Tractate at all. / I think more is better - but I am not so enamoured of it as I usually am of my own writings. Set it up & we will consider them both tomorrow.’ The note of 14 January 1894 simply reads: ‘Dear Rogers / I return Cheque. / Yours / A Birrell’.

26381At end of document: 'J. C. ARNOLD. 3 Staple Inn. London 17/5/11.'. 10pp. 8vo. Contemporary duplicated typescript on ten leaves held together by one corner with a brass stud. In fair condition on lightly-aged paper with slight creasing at head. The present item is a paper presented to an unnamed committee. A version was published under the same title in 'Home Rule Problems' edited by Basil Williams with an introduction by Viscount Haldane London: P. S. King & Son 1911. The opening paragraph reads: 'In writing this paper I wish to put in as strong a light as possible the objections to Home Rule which one commonly hears from the Ulster Unionists. Many of these when stated before a reasonable audience will appear absurd and undoubtedly are so. Some of them savour of selfishness and show the spirit of the man who sees himself torn down from a position of unfair advantage. Others are based on the most conscientious feelings which however misguided demand respect and each and all of them are worthy of consideration in order that where the objections are pure and disinterested they may be answered and where they are corrupt and venomous they may be condemned and exposed.' At end of document: 'J. C. ARNOLD. | 3, Staple Inn. [ London ] | 17/5/11.' unknown

Mappa tratta dalla seconda edizione in lingua francese de Le Miroir du Monde.Le Mirour du Monde è l’edizione in lingua francese in prosa dello Spieghel der Werelt, il primo atlante tascabile pubblicato nel 1577, in lingua olandese, da Philip Galle, con testo in rima curato da Peeter Heyns, e stampato dalla tipografia Plantin.Lo Spieghel der Werelt era una versione ridotta del Theatrum Orbis Terrarum di Ortelius.Le lastre, quasi tutte derivate dal Theatrum, furono disegnate e incise da Philip Galle. Due anni dopo, nel 1579, fu data alle stampe l’edizione in lingua francese in prosa, perché Heyns non aveva avuto il tempo necessario per la resa in versi, col titolo Le Miroir du Monde. Il successo di questa edizione francese, è provato proprio dalla seconda edizione pubblicata a soli 4 anni di distanza, nel 1583.Dal 1577 al 1598, Galle & Heyns pubblicarono ben 11 edizione, di cui l’ultima – edita nell’anno della morte di Ortelius – conteneva ben 123 mappe.Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Miniature map published taken from the second French edition of Le Miroir du Monde, published by Galle & Heyns in 1583, printed by Plantin and first publsihed in 1577 under the title Spieghel der werelt.Le Miror du Monde is the French transaltion of the Duch poems Spieghel der Werelt, the first modern pocket-atlas, published by Philip Galle with text by Peeter Heyns in 1577, based on Abraham Ortelius’ Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. The maps were drawn and engraved by Galle. Between 1577 & 1598 Galle issued 11 editions, all printed by Christopher Plantin.Copperplate, very good condition. G. King, Miniature Antique Maps, pp. 60-61.
Carta geografica tratta dall’Atlante novissimo, illustrato ed accresciuto sulle osservazioni e scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi. Stampato in quattro volumi da Antonio Zatta tra il 1779 ed il 1785. Atlante fra i più belli e completi mai pubblicati in Italia nel XVIII secolo, l'opera più famosa dello Zatta. L’Atlante Novissimo, come si specifica anche nel titolo, è “accresciuto sulle osservazioni scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi”. Tra le novità più significative vi è la comparsa delle nuove isole scoperte nell'Oceano Pacifico da James Cook e la prima carta italiana della Nuova Zelanda. Le illustrazioni furono ideate e disegnate dai suoi collaboratori Giovanni Marco Pitteri, Anton Friedrich Busching, Pietro Antonio Novelli ed incise da Giuliano Zuliani. Il primo tomo dell’atlante è introdotto da un breve saggio di geografia generale dove l’autore definisce in modo sintetico e preciso gli elementi che compongono i reticoli eclittico ed equatoriale usati nelle tavole. Interessante la sezione dove si sofferma a descrivere il fenomeno della precessione degli equinozi e quello della variazione ciclica dell'obliquità dell'eclittica. Acquaforte, stampata su carta vergata coeva, coloritura coeva dei contorni, in buone condizioni. Map from the Atlante novissimo, illustrato ed accresciuto sulle osservazioni e scoperte fatte dai più celebri e più recenti geografi. Printed in four volumes by Antonio Zatta between 1779 and 1785. Atlas among the most beautiful and complete ever published in Italy in the eighteenth century, the most famous work of Zatta. The Atlante Novissimo, as also specified in the title, is “increased on the observations made by the most famous and most recent geographers”. Among the most significant innovations there is the appearance of the new islands discovered in the Pacific Ocean by James Cook and the first Italian map of New Zealand. The illustrations were designed and drawn by his collaborators Giovanni Marco Pitteri, Anton Friedrich Busching, Pietro Antonio Novelli and engraved by Giuliano Zuliani. The first volume of the atlas is introduced by a brief essay of general geography where the author defines in a concise and precise way the elements that make up the ecliptic and equatorial grids used in the tables. Interesting is the section where he pauses to describe the phenomenon of precession of the equinoxes and the cyclical variation of the obliquity of the ecliptic. Etching, printed on contemporary laid paper, contemporary outline coloring, in good condition.
