24189Nash’s eight TLsS from between 4 July 1949 and 10 October 1951; all on letterheads of 2 Bristol Court West Marine Parade Brighton. Macqueen-Pope’s carbons from 1949 and 1951. ‘The Tragic Comedians’ undated. Nash made around 70 films between 1912 and 1927 and was a key figure in the creation of Elstree Studios. His career as a film maker was effectively ended following the screening of his 1921 film 'How Kitchener was betrayed'. See Bernard Ince ' “For the Love of the Artâ€: The Life and Work of Percy Nash Film Producer and Director of the Silent Era’ ‘Film History’ September 2007. See also Macqueen-Pope’s entry in the Oxford DNB. The collection of eleven items is in fair overall condition with minor creasing and aging to some items. Nash’s eight letters are all signed ‘Percy Nash’ and the first and longest has a long postscript in autograph. The eight total 9pp: four in 4to and five in 12mo. All are addressed to ‘My dear Popie’. The two men are clearly well acquainted - to one letter Nash adds the autograph note ‘Come & see us soon!!!’. The first letter contains personal information about the 1897 murder of the actor William Terris outside the Adelphi. ‘I was producing a Panto for Charles Denton at the time at the Parkhurst Theatre and I was short of a Chorister Denton phoned to say that he would have one for me the following morning. I called next day at Maiden Lane and he told me that he had a man but as he had a “Wall†eye he sent him away. It was Prince. Terris’s murderer E Dagnall Daggie was a member of the Adelphi Co at that time and he told me that Prince was a small part merchant who was spasmodically engaged there. He considered himself badly treated by the Management.’ He concludes in the same vein. Letter of 3 August 1950 begins: ‘I am under the impression that I am the last living “Acting†Not ‘Walk on’ member of Irvings Lyceum Theatre Company.’ After describing a visit to Irving’s centenary service at St Martin’s in the Fields he adds ‘I am sure that I am the only one left connected with his Stage Management. Lionel Belmore who was with me at the time migrated to America and I am informed passed on a year or two ago.’ On 9 November 1950 he writes intriguingly: ‘Re the G. B. Shaw incident you will be surprised at the undignified pranks that they got up to in the film at the behest of the little Scotchman.’ Letter of 14 December 1950 describes ‘a long queue waiting to book and a slip of a girl solo to do the work . I am often in touch with Emily Norton Freds sister and she says she is very hard up perhaps this revival will healp. Jack Gladwin called in on Tuesday and I showed him the great “Write up†of Chue in “Everybodysâ€.’ On 24 June 1951 he praises Popie’s new book ‘Ghosts and Greasepaint’: ‘Every word and picture takes me back through my whole life from the ‘Fly posting’ inside cover of Drink which we used to call “Lets av some more†to the index pages. I saw Warner first at the Princess in it and I signed the pledge. / My word! as I turn the pages over I see pictures of the “Gone befores†and I feel strangely lonely but when I pass over and it can’t be long now I shall tell them all what a Champion they left behind them to keep their memory green.’ The last letter 10 October 1951 concerns a radio broadcast featuring Popie: ‘What a glorious night you must have had last Sunday. I listened in to the first part and it all seemed to go so slick and the applause was never allowed to “peter†out. I was connected in one way or the other with The Nellie Farren H.I. and Ellen Terry similar shows and they were nothing like I.N’s.’ The carbons of two of Popie’s replies are both unsigned. Each 1p 4to. The first 5 July 1949 discusses of the Terris murder. The second is a response to Nash’s last letter. The final item is a typescript of reminiscences titled ‘The Tragic Comedians / Laughter and Tears.’ 2pp 4to. Whether this is by Popie or Nash or another party is unclear. There is one autograph emendation. Observations on George Formby ‘I have been present at a performance when the audience were screaming with merriment at him during his “Turn†and he was compelled to turn his back on them to conceal his terrible cough which eventually closed his career.’ George Bastow Melville Gideon Leslie Stuart and a final long passage on Dan Leno ‘The greatest tragedy of all was to my thinking that every Panto first night at the Lane Two boxes were reserved for the members of his TWO families. The Boxes were placed one over the other on the same side of the Theatre so that they never knew each other were there or even that they existed. This fact used to worry Sir Augustus Harris and after him Arthur Collins lest they should make the discovery but they never did what a time of anguish it must have been for Dan’.

Signed "Yours sincerely / Edward Hamley". There is occasional very light foxing to the letterhead & 2 pieces of mounting tape adhere to the right margin of the 4th side where the letter has been removed from an album. Folded once for mailing. Very good.<p>Manuscript leaf: small quarto 9 inches high by 7 inches wide. 83 words penned in black ink on one side of a sheet of cream watermarked paper. Folded 3 times with slight darkening down the top end of 1 vertical fold. 2 small pieces of tape adhere to the verso of the sheet where it has been removed from an album. Very good. <p>The letter addressed to "My dear Mrs. Ford" expresses his regret that he missed her when he called on her. He congratulates her on becoming "the Mistress of Pencarrow" her family's estate and her childhood home. He goes on to complain about the House of Commons workload though "we are not quite such slaves as we were last year." <p>The manuscript leaf is from Hamley's novel "Lady Lee's Widowhood" and is headed "Chap. II." The page which ends in mid-sentence describes the morning toiletries of two women characters. The first sentence of the extract reads: "Rosa constitutionally an early riser used to be always up before Orelia in the morning until the latter took it into her head to have a shower-bath fitted up in the closet that opened from their room."<p>Sir Edward Bruce Hamley 1824-1893 served in the Crimean War. He was professor of military history at the Staff College Sandhurst from 1858 to 1877 and was Commandant of the College from 1870-1877. He was chief of the commission for the delimitation of the Balkan and Armenian frontiers 1879-80 and commanded a division in the Egyptian war of 1882. He was promoted to General in 1890. Hamley was Member of Parliament for Birkenhead from 1885 until his death in 1893.<p>In addition to works on the Crimean War and his military manual "The Operations of War" Hamley was a short-story writer and poet a translator of French verse and the author of a novel "Lady Lee's Widowhood". He was a valued contributor to Blackwood's Magazine wherein the novel first appeared in 1853. It was subsequently published in two volumes by William Blackwood and Sons in 1854. Sadleir 1103; Wolff 2949.<p>Both the letter and the manuscript come from the autograph collection of Mrs. Mary Ford widow of Richard Ford who wrote the popular "Handbook for Travellers in Spain". The autograph collection known as the Pencarrow Collection was formed from the 1850s onwards largely by Mary Ford in her long period of widowhood. [London, U.K.]: 22 June 1888. unknown

194072114Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press 1940. First edition. Narrow octavo. 14 pp. Publisher's printed wrappers. Together with 274 IBM punch cards each with the same printed title across the top - "Quadratic Character of m" and with Robinson's name and copyright data. Both housed together in the publisher's cloth case with metallic snap and spine lettering in black. Bit of wear to bottom case joint but overall an excellent copy.From the introduction - "Since quadratic congruences play a fundamental role in the theory of numbers it seems very desirable to have a simple way to solve them even when moderately large numbers are involved. The method of exclusion when combined with a suitable mechanical device such as these stencils provides an easy method for solution" Raphael M. Robinson was a leading figure in mathematics and taught at Berkeley from 1937 to 1973."Even among world-renowned mathematicians Robinson was exceptional. In an age of specialization he contributed significantly to six fields: logic set theory geometry complex analysis number theory and combinatorics; and in a subject often considered a young person's game he continued to produce significant mathematics into his eighties. He also anticipated most of the mathematical community by a good 20 years in making use of computers to obtain results in pure mathematics. In 1951 never having seen one of the new computing machines and working only from a manual he coded the first successful program to test very large numbers for primality. “That the code was without error was and still is a remarkable feat†according to the recently published history of the Institute for Numerical Analysis on the UCLA campus. “In an age where most of our journals are filled with papers which even if good exploit theories for their own sake. it is refreshing and stimulating to encounter one of Robinson's papers†one of the foremost number theorists of the century has written. “In each of them he takes a problem old or new which can be stated in simple and intelligible terms and either solves it or at least adds much that is new. His scholarship is impeccable; it is plain that he never writes until he has thought deeply and until he has sought out every relevant piece of existing knowledge.â€Approximately a quarter of Robinson's publications are distributed among seven different topics in logic and the foundations of mathematics. The one to which he gave most attention was that of undecidable theories an interest that he shared with his wife Julia. By way of illustration the mathematical structure consisting of the integers with their operation of addition is said to have a decidable theory. This means it is possible to program a computer so that given any sentence about the structure in a logically defined language the computer will make a finite computation that determines whether the sentence is true or false. Another mathematical structure with a decidable theory is that of all real numbers with their operations of addition and multiplication. This was shown by Alfred Tarski also of Berkeley But a major mathematical discovery of this century was the fact that that the structure of integers with both operations of addition and multiplication has an undecidable structure because there is no computer program that can decide the truth or falsity of every sentence of its language. In several papers Robinson was able to show that a number of other mathematical theories are also undecidable. His most valuable contribution however was devising a theory with a finite number of axioms that is “essentially undecidableâ€--a concept introduced by Tarski. The book Undecidable Theories Mostowski Robinson and Tarski has provided a tool for researchers to identify undecidable theories in all parts of mathematics. " Calisphere.
