See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The 'settlement' movement was the result of growing unease among the educated classes regarding the condition of the poor. The two most celebrated settlements, both still active, are Toynbee Hall in Whitechapel and Oxford House in Bethnal Green. From the papers of Sir William David Ross (1877-1971), Vice-Chancellor of Oxford. The present printed circular is 1p, 12mo. Printed on wove watermarked paper. In good condition, lightly aged and folded once. Asquith's signature is genuine. Reads: 'October, 1911. / DEAR SIR, / It will readily be admitted that social problems have not diminished but rather increased in gravity since the foundation of the first University Settlements. Believing that the Settlements are still one of the best ways in which Oxford men may become familar with those problems and in some degree contribute to their solution, we venture to call your attention to the meeting of which a notice is enclosed, and to the accompanying paper drawn up by the promoters of the meeting. / Yours faithfully, / [W. H. Asquith]'. See Image.

Small 4to and 8vo. Altogether 10¼ pp. To various addressees, on appointments and non-appointments: "It is with sincere and keen regret that I find myself unexpectedly disabled by the call of public duty from being present with you this evening. I had looked forward to the opportunity of hearing what Lord Haldane had to say on the subject of our National duty in these critical times, and of paying such tribute as I could to the signal service he has rendered, and the splendid example he has set, to the Empire. As I cannot be with you, I should be glad if you would convey my message to your meeting. Lord Haldane is the oldest personal and political friend that I have in the world. For the best part of 35 years we have been associated in close and unbroken intimacy. We have worked together, and fought side by side, through many vicissitudes of fortune, in the pursuit of what we have believed to be great and worthy causes, without (so far as I can recall) more than a passing shadow of difference in opinion, and always with the same ideals in view [.]" (from the letter of July 5, 1915; to Mr. Lincolnshire).
