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’. The draft of the meeting with Mehmet Ali after his return from his travels in April 1837, and published in November of that year unknown

26196No date but with newspaper cutting from the Morning Herald London 18 February 1854. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The present item was enclosed in a letter from Serjeant Shee the future Sir William Shee offered separately sent from the House of Commons on 17 February 1854 in which he writes: ‘I enclose Mr. Cobdens own handwriting to send to the Papers -’. Attached to a corner at the head of the first page of the present item is a cutting from the Morning Herald newspaper 18 February 1854 reproducing the details in the manuscript. That circumstance taken with certain references in the Shee letter suggest that the recipient of both was either James Johnstone proprietor of the Morning Herald or his editor Robert Knox. 2pp 12mo. On the rectos of the two leaves of a bifolium. In good condition lightly aged and worn with a few pin holes at top inner corner and slight damage at the foot of the gutter unobtrusively repaired with archival tape.

2430018 June 1863; Edinburgh. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p 12mo. In good condition lightly aged. Folded twice. Sixteen closely- and neatly-written lines. After thanking him for his ‘kind and seasonable letter’ he states that he is ‘not much affected by rude abuse in parliament or through the press’ as he is ‘pretty well hardened in that respect’ and that he ‘may possibly have an opportunity’ in his own ‘proper place’ ‘of explaining & vindicating’ his position for the purpose of which he asks Allan ‘for somewhat more particular information in regard to monumental inscriptions in Christian communities’. He explains that he is referring to Allan’s comment that he does not ‘recollect having seen lines from an uninspired penman with the exact place of the quotation in his writings’. He asks if this applies to Roman Catholic cemeteries. ‘It would be no inconsistency to have the Apocrypha quoted in them’. At the head of the letter he writes: ‘Pardon me if I have addressed you erroneously’. 18 June 1863; Edinburgh. unknown
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. Circa [1930]. unknown
