26050The draft of the meeting with Mehmet Ali after his return from his travels in April 1837 and published in November of that year. One of the other items dated 18 April 1841 from 103 Westbourne Terrace London. Another from Midhurst 20 June 1856. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ‘Mehemet Ali’. The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet ‘which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute . attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s. In October Cobden embarked on a long tour sailing via Lisbon Gibraltar and Malta to the eastern end of the Mediterranean as far as Constantinople meeting Mehmet Ali in Egypt before returning via Greece in April 1837.’ The present text is the conclusion of the draft manuscript of the account he gave of that meeting and had published in Tait’s Edinburgh Magazine in November 1838. 1p foolscap 8vo. The page is headed ‘20’ and carries ten lines of text one and a half lines of which are deleted. Lightly aged worn and creased. On reverse in pencil in a contemporary hand: ‘Cobden / M. S. S His work in Turkey’. The text reads with deleted passage in square brackets: ‘Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man - the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed - and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali’. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person with reverse blank. In fair condition lightly aged. Reads: ‘Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury a memorial’. THREE: Printed form response with thick black border. 1p 32mo. In fair condition on discoloured paper. Reads with manuscript text in square brackets: ‘Mr & Mrs Cobden return thanks for the favor of Mr Smiths kind enquiries. / Midhurst 20 June 1856’. The word ‘return’ has been altered from ‘returns’.

193034459Circa 1930. 1930. Good. - Original sepia-toned head-and shoulders portrait photo approximately 9-3/4 inches high by 7-3/4 inches wide. Inscribed in the margin below the image "-- With best wishes / Edward Alsworth Ross." There is some light creasing to the margins of the photo with a few tiny stains to the bottom margin. Good. <p>Edward Alswoth Ross 1866-1951 was an American sociologist and eugenicist and a major figure in early criminology. Rather remarkably in his last twenty years he grew out of the disreputable views of his earlier life when he was a believer in eugenics and sterilization and opposed immigration to the point of suggesting that America would do better to turn its guns "upon every vessel bringing Japanese to our shores rather than to permit them to land". In the 1930s he was a supporter of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal program and from 1940 to 1950 he served as chairman of the national committee of the American Civil Liberties Union.

1840148887London: Henry Hooper 1840. First edition of this essay highlighting George Cruikshank’s artistic skill and cultural significance in early Victorian Britain. Octavo bound in three-quarters morocco by J. McDonald of New York with gilt titles and tooling to the spine gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt stamped facsimile signature of Cruikshank on the front panel all edges gilt marbled endpapers tissue-guarded frontispiece illustrated with 17 tissue-guarded black and white etched plates by George Cruikshank. In near fine condition. An Essay on the Genius of Cruikshank published in The Westminster Review in 1840 is an early critical appraisal of George Cruikshank’s artistic achievements and cultural influence. Written at a time when caricature was often dismissed as ephemeral or merely humorous the essay situates Cruikshank’s work within a broader artistic and moral framework praising his sharp political insight his ability to capture the nuances of everyday life and his growing reputation as a serious illustrator of literature. By highlighting his transition from biting political satire to celebrated book illustration particularly his collaborations with authors such as Charles Dickens the review both legitimizes caricature as a form of social commentary and cements Cruikshank’s position as one of the most significant visual commentators of early Victorian Britain.
