See Parris's entry in the Oxford DNB. The subject of the letter is his work 'restoring' James Thornhill's paintings inside the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. Beginning in 1853 and ending three years later, Parris worked on scaffolding he had designed for the purpose thirty years before. His efforts were not well received: he was accused of completely repainting Thornhill's work, to its detriment. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged and creased, with minor traces of mount adhering to the blank reverse. Folded twice. Having received the recipient's 'favor', he begins by sending his 'regards to Mr and Mrs Hall', i.e. Samuel Carter Hall (1800-1889), editor of the of the Art Journal and New Monthly Magazine, and his wife Anna Maria Hall (1800-1881). From the context of the letter it would appear that Duffane has requested information for an article for one of the two magazines of which Hall is editor. He is sending 'a very rough & hastily scrawl'd account of my apparatus &c at St Pauls, which You may perhaps distil something from'. He points out that the account he is sending 'is quite different from what has recently appear'd in the Times &c'. He feels that 'the shortest notice will be most advisable', but asks him to 'make what You please out of it'. The letter ends: 'I am at the Cathedral every day and shall be glad to shew You all particulars if you will enquire for me any time you are passing'.

The two volumes folio, 20 pp, and folio, 18 pp. Both in the same neat hand and in uniform original bindings of green boards, with green cloth spines and white decoratively-cut paper labels on front covers, each carrying a description of the contents addressed to 'Königin Adelheid von Großbritannien'. The first account book (1844-1845) has part of the second leaf (pp.2-3) torn away; and the second (1847-1848) is lacking the fourth leaf (pp.9-10). The second has a summary (3 pp, folio, on bifolium) loosely inserted, addressed to 'Königliche Majestät', and dated 'Meiningen, den 25 Juni [June] 1848'. The second account book also has, tipped in to the front pastedown, a signed autograph reference from 'E. Ballinger | Housekeeper to her late Majesty Queen Adelaide', addressed from '40 Colehill Street, Eaton Square' and undated, for 'Hannah Feesey', who 'lived has [sic] Housemaid in the establishment of Her late Majesty Queen Adelaide upwards of 4 years': 'I found her a clean industrious good servant, and a respectable well conducted young woman'. Expenses include 'Bauwesen und Meublement im Fürstenhaus zu Liebenstein'. The two volumes contain a total of eleven pages of 'Pensionem', with the named recipients including Löwenstern, Wagner, Uttenhoven, Mauris, Panzerbieter, Zierlein. A scarce and unusual item: personal accounts for leading members of the Royal Family rarely if ever appear on the market.

Zusammen 186 größtenteils beschr. Bll. Marmorierte Pappbände der Zeit. Kl.-4to. Die Tochter von Herzog Georg I. von Sachsen-Meiningen und Louise Eleonore von Hohenlohe-Langenburg, am 13. August 1792 als Prinzessin Adelheid von Sachsen-Meiningen geboren, ehelichte am 13. Juli 1818 in Kew Palace, Surrey, William Heinrich von Großbritannien und Herzog von Clarence, der von 1830 an als Wilhelm IV. Großbritannien regierte. Der Ehe entstammen zwei Töchter, Charlotte Augusta (1819-19) und Elizabeth (1820-21). - Ein Buch - das, wenn auch undatiert, so der Handschrift nach doch früheste und wohl auch vor 1807 entstandene - ist der Geschichte vorbehalten und behandelt die Epochen von der "Alten Geschichte" bis hin zur "Geschichte der Deutschen" bis ins 16. Jhdt. Der zweite Band umfaßt "Etwas über die spanische Sprache", "Vocablen [!] spanische u. deutsche" sowie Lektüreexzerpte und wohl auch eigene Gedanken und Reflexionen. Der dritte Band enthält gleichfalls Ausschnitte ihrer Lektüre. Von 1813 bis 1821 gibt es keine Eintragungen, erst dann werden sie auf 26 Seiten bis 1824 fortgesetzt.

She has seen Russell's 'envoyé', who had 'planned a road, which he assures me cannot be objected to, and can easily be intro-duced [sic] into and carried out with your proposed alterations'. She notes a gate in a wall, which is to be 'made opposite the turn of the road towards our stables, so as to give room for the turn', and hopes Russell will 'look over the plan before it is again shown' to her, and she is sending 'the very stiff and uncivil reply to our requisitions', which she hopes he will 'carefully consider & then call here and convince your self of the truth of my memoranda'.

For Lady Ashbourne, see her husband's entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Before receiving Lady Ashbourne's invitation, 'The Duke & Duchess of Abercorns, [sic] my Cousins, had begged us attend a Masonic Concert the 18th. & we accepted, & now the Duchess writes they will be at the Vice Regal Lodge, so perhaps, all are going for the Second Part from your Dinner, otherwise the Prince does not like to throw over the Abercorns, we are so vexed & not our fault'. See Image of pp.2-3.

See Clarke's entry in the Oxford DNB. The present letter, signed 'Charles Mansfield Clarke', was written (from Caston, where Clarke's son-in-law Walter Patridge was rector) a few weeks after the death on 3 July 1856 of Clarke's wife of fifty years, Mary Anna (née Squire), by whom he had two sons and five daughters. Lady Clarke's own husband had died a year and a half before, on 26 January 1855. 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor traces of mount on reverse of second leaf. Folded once. The letter begins: 'My dear Lady Cullum | In the course of thte Correspondence which has been entailed upon me by the late event no part has gratified me more than your honest and feeling letter, for which and for the tender of your hospitality I thank you heartily'. He explains that the 'long illness of my Dear Wife has kept me out of Society during the last three years and neither my daughter nor myself have quitted our charge'. He is happy that there was 'no suffering in the Case of our lost one: she sunk from exhaustion without the evidence of any disease'. After 'every thing at Brighton had been concluded', Clarke and his daughter Elizabeth stayed for a few days with his son at Hanwell. He is writing from 'the house of my Son in law, Rev Walter Patridge, he having lost his wife (my daughter) some years since'. He hopes to 'spend half a day with Mother' on his journey back to Brighton. He wishes he could 'pass a quiet day or two with yourself at Hardwick! but it is impossible you would I know, be as kind to me as you were to poor Westrop.' He ends with the news that he has 'let Wigginton Lodge', and that he intends Brighton to be 'my living and my resting place'.
