Wood, | (Successor to Mr. Floyer.) | Bookseller, 428, Strand.' The receipt is headed by Wood '- Aylmer Esqr:' and reads: '1816 | Novr: 5 Turtons Linnaeus 7 Vol: £5 - - | Packing… Case 0 3s 0 | [total] £5 3s 0d | Settled Novr: 4. W. Wood'. On reverse, in another hand: 'Paid for Sir R. Kennedy | £5 .0 . 0'. BBTI has no record of a William Wood at this address, but does list one later in Tavistock Street, Covent Garden. It lists Richard Floyer at this address between 1799 and 1817, this item proving the latter date incorrect.

See her entry in the Oxford DNB. The Swanboroughs were a significant Victorian theatrical dynasty, and the absence of any member of the family from the same work is puzzling. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and lightly worn paper, with traces of glue and strip of tape from mount adhering to blank reverse of secon…d leaf. Folded twice. Addressed to 'Mr. Swanborough' and signed 'Fanny Stirling'. She wonders whether he can 'find time to wade thro' the accompanying "M S"', and let her know whether there is 'the least chance of it - or something from the same pen - suiting either Strand - or Royalty -'. As she considers herself 'so bad a judge of Burlesque', she 'couldn't venture to give the Author an opinion - but promised to endeavour to procure him one from a better judge'. He is, she concludes, 'the first victim to that rash promise made'.

On 7 January 1911 Beckles Willson, Honorary Secretary of the Charles Dickens Testimonial, explained the scheme to the readers of the Spectator. Three members of Dickens's family were, Willson explained, 'drawing a niggardly pension of £25 per annum from the British Government', and that 'no volume recently published of Dickens h…as returned any copyright fee, save those which bear the Dickens copyright stamp'. The stamp was 'on sale for one penny each-in sheets of twelve-at every bookseller's in the land, and at all Messrs. W. H. Smith's and Wyman's news-stalls. His Majesty the King, her Majesty the Queen, her Majesty Queen Alexandra, and other members of the Royal Family, ever ready to be the exemplars in every good and just cause, have led the way by placing the copyright stamps in their volumes of Dickens. Their example has been followed by many of the leading statesmen, lawyers, authors, actors, editors, and divines of the day. If every owner of Dickens will not shirk his penny, a magnificent centenary tribute will be assured. For there are forty-eight million copies of Dickens extant.' The publishers Macmillan, Willson continued, had agreed 'to insert a Dickens stamp gratis in every volume of every edition of Dickens issued by them during the hundredth year of the novelist. The significance of this must not be overlooked. It means that, for the first time in literary history the representatives of a great writer will he in receipt of a copyright fee not conferred by the action of the copyright laws ; small, it is true, but to which they are entitled as truly as the heirs of any landlord are entitled to receive tribute in the shape of rent.' The stamp offered here is printed in black ink on a piece of paper approximately 5 x 4 cm, with perforated edges and gummed reverse. In very good condition. Priced at a penny, with an oval portrait of Dickens within a border in the form of a carved wooden frame, with 'A TRIBUTE TO GENIUS' and the dates 1812 and 1912 at the head, the words 'CENTENARY TESTIMONIAL' around the portrait, and a facsimile of Dickens's signature at the foot. The four-page article (paginated 608-611) is on three leaves extracted from the Strand Magazine. Stapled together and in good condition. Includes full-page 'Unpublished Photograph of Dickens', taken by Thrupp of Birmingham in 1869. The article features a reproduction of the stamp, and a list of the scheme's committee, headed by the Earl of Rosebery, and including Theodore Roosevelt, Hilaire Belloc, G. K. Chesterton, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling and more than fifty others. 'The actual design for the stamp has been evolved by a sub-committee, comprising Lord Alverstone and Messrs. Brition Riviere, R.A., H. Rider Haggard, Clement K. Shorter, and Sir Adolph Tuck, Bart.'.

The Hat of the Destroyer represents a discomfited French Eagle, maimed and crouching, after his Conflict with the Eagles of the North.

Fifty-two long lines of text, on one side of a single piece of parchment, roughly inches by. '[.] Between John Guscotte of No. 19 Essex Street Strand [.] and Alexander Brown of No. 342 Strand in the County of Middlesex aforesaid Book Seller'. A ten-year lease for a consideration of sixty pounds and yearly rent of one hundred and… four pounds. Includes conditions relating to the upkeep of the premises, whitewashing of the walls, display of advertisements, etc. Brown is directed 'at his own expence [to] fix a tradesmanlike glass sash to the shop front' and forbidden to 'carry on or exercise or permit to be carried on and exercised upon the said demised premises or any part thereof any other trade or business than that of a Bookseller' without Guscotte's consent. Witnessed by Charles James Dane, 'Clerk to Messrs. Smith & Guscotte Solrs.' With five shilling embossed government stamp, and Brown's signature stradling the solicitors' red wax seal on green ribbon. 342 Strand had been (circa 1804) the painter Benjamin Robert Haydon's first London address, and the offices of William Edward Painter, publisher of the Church and State Gazette (1842-56). It subsequently contained the offices of the Literary Revision Society and of the Iron and Coal Trades Review. BBTI simply records that an Alexander Brown served his apprenticeship as a bookseller in 1807 - perhaps the above's father.
