Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. In "Prophets, Priests, and Kings", Mr. Alfred George Gardiner, who was also known by the pseudonym of "Alpha of the Plough", presents a collection of genial essays, which in some way are brief biographical excerpts, but for the most part are Mr. Gardiner's personal views of the individual chosen. They are a goodly assortment, some of which will be familiar to all, and others may have retired to the dusty corners of history's back shelves. Some of them were, in fact, kings and heads of states, some priests . and all of them held considerable sway over the social and intellectual topics of their day. They were shakers and movers. Some moved very little . others made waves that are still being felt today. There are handsome reproductions of portraits of some of the subjects rendered by Clive Gardiner. This is a reprint, issued by J. M.Dent in its Wayfarer's Library in 1914. (The book was originally issued in 1908). ********************************************* CONTENTS : Included are essays on the following historical personages: King Edward VII / George Bernard Shaw / Arthur James Balfour / John Singer Sargent / George Meredith / The Premier / The Kaiser / Sir Edward Grey / James Keir Hardie / Lord Northcliffe / Dr. Clifford / John Redmond / Florence Nightingale / The Primate / David Lloyd George / Mrs. Pankhurst / Lord Moreley of Blackburn / Rufus Isaac, K.

1p., 8vo. In good condition, lightly aged and folded twice. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir | For my book - "Poems with Fables in Prose" (2 vols. Constable) I confess I particularly aspire to the honour of a review in the Daily News. He gives a list of themes which the volumes contain, 'Inter alia', including 'new philosophical iteas'. In black pencil at the head of the page (probably by Gardiner) is 'Mr Lynd', i.e. a direction for the letter to be forwarded to columnist Robert Lynd.

Manuscript / Paper Collectible
In poor condition, on aged and brittle paper, with significant chipping to edges involving loss of text, including the end of Philpotts's signature. Undated, but written in 1916, the year of publication of Phillpotts' 'The Green Alleys'. Headed in blue pencil 'Mr Lynd' (i.e for the attention of Daily News columnist Robert Lynd). The letter reads: 'Dear Sir | I must record that the opportunity I gave you to do a little in the great cause of the natural born child was not done; & it is a source of deep regret to me that, after I had told you of the matter in story, "Green Alleys', you allowed a critic to dismiss the subject in that manner. You, who stand for democracy, might well have been looked to, to help to redress this wrong & call attention to a wicked enactment & a crying scandal. That your critic sneers at it in a spirit one has not until now associated with "The Daily News". If it is conceivable t you approve theh Bastardy Laws, one course no more to say, except let d know it. I am most truly yo | Eden Phill'. Postscript: 'One expected reactionary papers tto slight me - but not you among liberal journals & in the forefront of thought.' Philpotts has attached (with a now-rusted staple) a cutting of a review of the book by C. E. Lawrence in the Daily Chronicle, praising him for being 'plucky' in having 'put a problem before readers in these exacting days'.
