2pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged paper with wear to corners.

Each number will contain six Essays in Prose and six in Verse. The first prize for prose will be £20; the second, £15; the third, £10; and the other three, £5 each.

London, Maddox [sic, for 'Madden'] and Malcolm, from whom, or through any bookseller, may be had a detailed prospectus.' Madden writes: 'Dear Sir | Agreeably to your request I have had returned to me from the Director of the Prize Essays your paper "Cycles of Civilization"[.] It is recommended for insertion in the first no & will probably gain the second or third prize - I observe some pencil marks have been made - let these claim your attention - and let the Mss be returned not later than the morng of the 9th, address to my private residence as above'. He concludes in the hope that the recipient will use his 'best influence for the circulation of this novel & valuable periodical'. Signed 'J. Madden', with the letters D, H and W in a cross pattern beneath the signature. The 'Monthly Prize Essays' bears all the hallmarks of a scam, but it was positively reviewed in the October 1846 issue of the Eclectic Review.

Condition: Good. Aquatint & Etching. Oblong 14 5/8 x 9 inches. Good with small tears, some staining, creasing; edge wear. Scarce. The crowd in front of Carlton House fills the greater part of the design, the background being the lower part of the pillared screen and windows within the gateway. On the right ladylike young women, with their dresses partly torn off and in great distress, walk dejectedly from the building; a constable (Townsend?) looks over the gate at them holding out his staff, and saying, None of your sort are to be admitted. A man wearing a cocked hat (McMahon?) leans from a window to help a young woman to climb in. In the foreground left, members of the Opposition struggle unsuccessfully to make their way through the crowd towards the house. Grenville bends forward, while little Lord Lansdowne crouches beneath him. Sheridan picks the pocket of a man in backview, saying, "Damn it you'l not shut us out sure." Behind him is a profile head, stiffly erect, intended for Moira. On the 26th. June [1811], the last day that the public were admitted to see Carlton House, the crowd were so large, and so ill-managed that ladies had their dresses torn off, and some were seriously hurt.

The popularity of turtle soup within the City of London was proverbial. From the Hankey banking archive.

The three items, all in manuscript, are in good condition, on lightly-aged paper.

Bowles | 10 Novr 1880'. 1p., foolscap 8vo. As 'Managing Partner' Bowles reports an 'increase of the value of the property which has been particularly marked during the past half year', and describes increases in income, expenditure and net profit compared with the previous year. He sets out proposals, 'with the concurrence of his co-partners', and calls a 'half-yearly meeting' on 15 December 1880, at 2 Bolton Street, Piccadilly. Item Two (balance sheet by Masson & Lewis): '"Vanity Fair" | Balance Sheet and Profit and Loss Account for the half year ending 30 September 1880 | Masson & Lewis | Accountants | 27 Leadenhall Street'. 6pp., foolscap 8vo. Neatly laid out in manuscript, on two half-sheets sewn together with green thread. The balance sheet and profit and loss account are both double-page spreads, and there are also single pages on 'Creditors' and 'Stock on Hand'.

Drawing' and 'Lithography & Paper') and expenses (beginning with 'Managing Partners Salary' and 'Office Salaries & Wages'). The section on 'Sales' includes break-downs for Numbers, Volumes, Albums, Titles, Cases & Portfolios, Binding, Proofs, Doublets, Waste Paper. 'Advertisements' bring in £2200 10s 9d.

The three items derive from the papers of one of Bowles's three 'co-partners', Major-General Roberts.
