Bradshaw is clearly unhappy at the price asked for a copy of Cox's 'Mem…orials of Old Derbyshire'.

Annotated in pencil throughout, and with a page of annotations at the end. The handwriting is distinctive (and certainly not Block's), with the capital N in partic…ular. Some of the annotations give dates from the 1970s, but the handwriting is that of someone from an earlier generation. As an example, one of the longer pencil annotations, on p.5, listing an additional item: 'Caught Napping. / c. 1883. Copy @ auction Sothebys [@ £15. to - Green.] 4/12/73. Presumably a privately printed play. Can't recall ever having seen mentioned before. If correct, Barries's earliest work. (Refer: see "The Story of J. M. B.": Mackail. p.85)'. From the residual archive of the authoir, Andrew Block. See Image for example of annotation.

Add to basketFrom the Macqueen-Pope papers. (See his entry, and those of Foyle and Mackenzie, in the Oxford DNB.) Apart from damage and rust staining from paperclips, the seven items are in good condition. The correspondence mainly concerns a Foyles Literary Lunch for Macqueen-Pope, which Mackenzie was unable to chair because of an attack of… bronchitis. All items 1p, 8vo. Mackenzie's two letters signed 'Compton Mackenzie' and Foyle's signed 'Christina Foyle'. ONE: Foyle to MP, 26 February 1951. She is forwarding a letter from Mackenzie. 'I am still receiving letters from people who were at the luncheon, saying how tremendously they enjoyed it.' TWO: Carbon of typed letter from Mackenzie to Foyle, 25 February 1951. Copy made by MP of the letter referred to in Item One. He thanks her for 'the lovely flowers and for being so understanding about my having to let you down. Not appearing when I am billed to appear is for me the most unpleasant experience I can suffer [.] I hated having to surrender. But I couldn't have stood up and my voice had gone [.] Would you be very kind and let MacQueen-Pope now how distressed I was not being able to take the Chair for him. He is a particularly nice fellow and has done such a lot of good work.' THREE and FOUR: Carbons of typed letters from MP to Foyle and Mackenzie, both dated 28 February 1951. To Mackenzie he writes: 'We missed you. The gentleman wh deputized was anything but the ideal Chairman, which you most certainly would have been. In your absence it devolved on me to receive the guests and one lady informed me - addressing me as Mr. Mackenzie - that she had now achieved the ambition of her life.' FIVE: CM to MP, 1 March 1951. 'I am still pretty bad - bronchitis having succeeded the 'flu'. I am hoping to be able to read A Book at Bedtime in a fortnight's time.' SIX: Carbon of typed letter from MP to CM. He sympathizes with the bronchitis: 'my wife has been a martyr to it'. He is enclosing a copy of the programme: 'It makes nostalgic reading - especially as regards the prices and the reference to chops and steaks always ready. Keep it if it is any use to you - or throw it aways after a smile. I have another.' SEVEN: CM to MP. 'Your note has just been forwarded to me. Many thanks for your generous contribution. We have just passed £3700 which is not bad in these hard times.'.

Add to basketThis prospectus is a scarce item: no other copy has been traced. A 4to bifolium, with four unnumbered pages printed in red. Somewhat aged and worn, with a horizontal strip of light discoloration at the head of the cover, which has the title and author's name surrounded by a border made up of Tenniel's illustrations, beneath this… is a quotation from Dodgson's poetry and the price of '7/6 net'. Across the middle two pages is the heading 'The Centenary "Life of Lewis Carroll"'. The text begins by explaining that Reed has made use of Dodgson's letters to Ellen Terry. Later on comes the paragraph: 'Mr. Langford Reed is well-known for his books of Nonsense Tales and Verses, based upon the humorous writings of Carroll, and so well has he acquitted himself with this new work, that he proves that he is the undoubted authority on his subject - the man of two well-defined lives - as the Reverend C. L. Dodgson and as Lewis Carroll.' Details of the books specifications are on the recto of the second leaf, and on its verso is the order form. See Image.
