13831Two from the School of Rural Economy University of Oxford one on letterhead and one from 5 St Edward's Passage Cambridge. All dating from 1930. All three items in good condition on lightly-aged paper. Letter One: School of Rural Economy Oxford. 18 August 1930. 2pp. 4to. She sympathises with 'the difficulties of archaeological research at Southend . for I know only too well how the people who hold the ultimate strings can "do one down" when their interests don't happen to coincide with one's own'. She recalls that in 1913 she 'put in a lot of time on some fossils for the B.M. - they turned out to be pieces of fossilised timber; & because the Keeper of the Palaeobotanical Dept. was not interested in fossil woods of miocene age my notes are still unpublished - but I hope they are going to be shortly!' She asks him for permission to write 'a brief account of the plants of the Southend site' for the Annals of Botany' and whether he would edit it 'with regard to the probable age of the plants their occurrence &c. . I should be so grateful if you would allow me to do this not only on account of its botanical interest but to satisfy my department that I really have been investigating the vegetable debris I told them I was receiving!' Letter Two: St Edward's Passage Cambridge. 22 August 1930. 1p. 4to. She does not know 'of anything in purely botanical literature on lake-dwelling plants as they are generally too late to interest the bona fide palaeobotanist; & the student of recent plants thinks they are only vegetable debris! The work of the Reids most nearly approaches this kind of investigation.' Letter Three. School of Rural Economy Oxford. 15 October 1930. 1p. 12mo. She informs him that 'Prof. Blackman has accepted the note & diagram on the "lake-dwelling" remains for the "Annals of Botany"' and briefly discusses the publication plans. Two from the School of Rural Economy, University of Oxford (one on letterhead), and one from 5 St Edward's Passage, Cambridge. A unknown

26238No date. On cancelled embossed letterhead of Christ Church Oxford. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp on both sides of a 9 x 10.5 cm piece of paper. Aged and worn with a corner cut away but the text complete.Nineteen lines in a close and difficult hand. Addressed to 'My dear Mgnr i.e. Monsignor' and signed 'E B Pusey'. Interpretation of Pusey's execrable handwriting is challenging. He appears to be ‘lecturing on the Psalms’ and may be requesting ‘combined lectures’. Other phrases that stand out are ‘some other Hebrew subject’ ‘the original idea’ ‘supplement the Professors lectures’ ‘competition studies’ ‘it is difficult to obtain a class of any dimension’. One passage seems decipherable: ‘The Psalms have been one of my special studies before my Professorial years; and now too I review all the latest writings upon them’. See Image. No date. On cancelled embossed letterhead of Christ Church, Oxford. unknown
23993No place or date. Scrap of paper 9 x 9cm remnants of laying down on reverse clear text as follows: "I should be glad to have the Statuta Aularia if you have them to hand short line though this paragraph Line crossed out - indecipherable I shd be glad to know of any new German works or 'Jewish' prob. or any improved editions of the old ones." Note: Statuta Aularia: "statutes made by the University for the government of the Halls" presumably as opposed to 'Colleges'. "The Oxford University Act 1854 and the university statute De aulis privatis On private Halls of 1855 allowed any Master of Arts aged at least 28 years to open a private hall after obtaining a licence to do so.3 The longest lived of the thirteen private halls was Charsley's Hall 1862–1891" Wikipedia.

24474Embossed "Christ Church Oxford". Docketed "Dr Pusey Nov.25. 1875". One page 16mo in narrow "frame" of stiffer paper good condition. "My dear Sir I am sorry but I did not know it was wanted so soon and have not written to Leipzig. I will write. . P.S. I suppose the Publisher who sell sic the Bodleian book will tell them I will wroite to them". Note: I have traced no publication of Tauchnitz's atributable to Pusey. And the only book in which he was involved associated with the Bodleian that I've traced is "Treasures of Oxford : containing poetical compositions by the ancient Jewish authors in Spain : and compiled from manuscripts in the Bodleian Library Oxford / Part I" published in 1851 by Groombridge.

Very faint waterstaining to the lower right corner well away from the image the frame's gilt a little rubbed in places else fine. Harding George P. Pena and ink and watercolor on paper. 1 vols. Image size is 6 x 5 inches; including border and thin gilt frame the overall dimemsions are 14 x 9 1/2 inches. A fine watercolor rendering based on Ashmole's Foundation Portrait by John Riley at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum and used as a plate in Ackermann's The History of the University of Oxford 1814.<br /> <br /> The watercolor follows Riley very closely but there are differences: the subject's hand rests on a shorter book lowering the angle of the arm there is no ring on the left hand there are slight differences in costume and the subject's face appears thinner giving the impression of a younger man. Beneath the image is lettered in black ink "Elias Ashmole Esqr. / Founder of the Ashmolean Museum Oxford." Below this in the large bottom margin is written in pencil "The Original Drawing by Geo. P. Harding executed for Ackermann published in The History of the University of Oxford 2 vols 1814."<br /> <br /> Elias Ashmole 1617-1692 scholar courtier antiquary heraldric authority and author of The Institution Laws and Ceremonies of the Order of the Garter 1672 inherited through his friendship with John Tradescant keeper of the botanical gardens at Chelsea and his widow a large collection of artifacts and curiosities which he offered to Oxford with the stipulation that the University provide a building to house it which in 1682 it did. This building in Oxford's Broad Street is now the home of The Museum of the History of Science. Thus while he did not form the collection which bears his name it was he who catalogued it brought it to Oxford ensured its survival and set the Ashmolean Museum on the path to becoming the world-class institution it is today.<br /> <br /> A FINE AND HISTORIC PORTRAIT. unknown
