TUILERIES BROCHURES, ENGLISH ARCHITECTURE. (London): Ludowici-Celadon, 1930. 4to. Cloth. vi, 200 pages. Being a reprint of the first 12 brochures first issued in 1929-1930, all deal with English architecture. With photographs and measured drawings. Very goo spine worn.

All six items are good, on lightly aged paper, with pin holes to the top left-hand corners. Gloag's first letter (4to, 1 p, 13 lines) concerns a 'most unfortunate error, made by the Rotary Club of London in printing a paper which I recently gave on "Design in Industry,". The copy of Gloag's letter to Read (typed, 17 February 1950, 4to, 1 p) reveals this to have been the describing of Gloag 'on the luncheon menu as an "R.D.I." ' In the copy of Luckhurst's reply (12mo, 1 p, 16 lines) he comments that he has 'read enough press reports to know how unavoidable such things are'. Gloag's second letter (4to, 2 pp) concerns an approach which has been made to one of the Society's new members, Gloag's friend F. C. Hooper, 'with a suggestion that he should use his influence in business in order to advertise in the Society's Journal'. Gloag considers that 'it is beneath the dignity of the Society to tout for advertisements', and suggests that 'all the letters sent out by the Society' should be withdrawn. Gloag's third letter (12mo, 1 p, 7 lines) explains that he has been asked by Raymond Loewy to forward his book 'Never Leave Well Enough Alone' to the Society's library. Luckhurst's reply (12mo, 1 p, 5 lines) acknowledges receipt of the book.

Sizes range from quarto (nine items) to 12mo (two items). Very good. Subjects include a request for 'a photograph of the winning design for the petrol filling station', the award of a Hyde Travelling Scholarship ('Mr. Mitchell appears to have so greatly distinguished himself'), 'Mr. Bossom's suggestions for the wording and particulars for the Proscenium opening for Cinema', the drafting of a reply to Morley Horder's comments ('he errs when he declares the screen is not of the period as I think only a small section of it was added by Mr. Beresford Pite a few years ago'), and Sydney Bernard Burney ('I am putting up Mr. Sydney B. Burney for election [.] Mr. Burney has a very high clientele among the various museums in England and abroad, and specialises in early and archaic sculptures'). A letter of 21 September 1931 (one page, 12mo, on letterhead of Alderbourne Manor) concerns a review in the Society's journal by John Gloag, which Adams-Acton feels 'demands an answer'. 'When, presumably, a sane critic states that the "great designers of the twentieth century" are men like Gimson, Heal, etc., and no mention is made of those who have really assisted the growth of English design, such as Sir Charles Allom and others, I feel there is some justification for the reply'. An autograph postscript reads 'Collecting is a hobby inherent (in the human race: it commences at school when a boy gathers birds eggs & butterflies. There are far more collectors of postage stamps & amateur gardeners in England than collectors of old furniture!' A letter of 28 June 1932 (one page, 12mo, on Alderbourne Manor letterhead) concerns a circular from Frederick Godfrey of 'The Renew Hair Institute of Hair Culture' received by Adams-Acton's cook (two of Godfrey's printed circulars, with an envelope addressed to 'Miss T. Mellor', are included). 'I see that the writer, Mr. Godfrey, uses the letters of the Society after his name. You will know whether he is entitled to do so, and it would be interesting to find out who proposed him. | In any case, I feel this pilfering method of trading on the credulity of maids and persons of similar social standing, together with the wording of his letter, is peculiarly beastly. [.] I have also seen his advertisements in the daily Press. He is a fearful looking person, with his hair standing up on the top of his skull like an overgrown goat!' Also included is a undated typed draft, with manuscript corrections, of a letter regarding Morley Horder and the removal of the 'fine Ionic screen', in which Adams-Acton is quoted as saying that 'only the upper portion of the facade had been re-designed by Mr. Beresford Pite and the whole of the screen that matters, namely, the piers, columns and the three arches were entirely original and the work of Samuel Ware'. The 4-page prospectus, handsomely printed on art paper, carries four illustrations. It is accompanied by a compliment slip carrying a signed autograph note to Menzies reading 'I am hoping that with your influence I am going to sell quite a few hundred copies of my book!!'.

He wrote and illustrated several volumes as well as providing pictures for other authors.

The thirteen items are in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. All but one bear the purple oval stamp of the Royal Society of Arts, and most are docketted. Totalling 10pp., 4to; 3pp., 12mo. The earlier letters are addressed to Wood and the later ones to Menzies. The first letter (14 August 1915), in which Pite proposes becoming a member of the Society, is the only one not to concern the course of lectures. On 7 June 1916 he asks if 'the subject of Town Planning, which owing to the operation of the Act of 1909 has increasing importance could be included in the Society of Arts series of Cantor Lectures', adding that Wood is 'probably aware of the increasing literature of the subject and that the Royal Institute of British Architects as issued directions to providers & advice to architects on town planning procedure. | The subject presents many aspects to the Student and in practice divides itself between the Surveyor and architect and naturally has many aspects of public interest and urgency.' He proposes to submit a syllabus, 'on the Architecture of Town Planning past & present', stating that he has been 'for many years a member of the Town Planning Committee of the R.I.B.A. & [has] lectured on the subject at the L.C.C. School of Building'. On 12 June 1916 he writes that he is enclosing 'a syllabus of a course of 5 lectures on Town-Planning', the 'historical aspect' of the subject being 'a large & important one', and ' this comparative study of achieved results' being 'important side by side with present day problems'. On 25 September 1916 he accepts Wood's 'proposals [.] to deliver a course of four lectures on "Town Planning" to be given weekly from January 29 next'. Among topics dealt with in the rest of the correspondence are the submission of manuscripts and authorship rights.

48pp., folio. Each page on the recto of a leaf, and all 48 leaves held together by a brass stud. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper. Authorship or ownership inscription on title page: 'A. E. Bullock | 43 Chancery Lane | W. C.', with autograph note: 'An Essay written originally for a prize, I believe. If used, he would have to be applied to again for any illustrations that might be wished for: we have not got them.' The index divides the work into the following six parts: 'Introduction; Early Life, Travels and Designs; Professional Career with descriptions of Chief building Works, including the Bank of England, Pitzhanger, The Museum, Dulwich Picture Gallery, Churches, &c; Influence, with list of pupils and some account of their works; Chronological list of events; Works of Reference with Publications of Sir John Soane'.
