Anglo-Irish journalist and caricaturist (1854-1925), best known for his work for Punch. Three pages, 12mo. Very good, but with slight wear and discoloration to recto of first leaf of bifoliate. Asks to 'know the fate of Miss Lyster's M.S.' 'You will recollect I called & saw you about it some months ago. She is anxious you should… understand you can have the M.S. without the drawings as you did not seem for the latter | An answer will much oblige | Yours very truly | [signed] Harry Furniss'. Suggests that his correspondent may wish to 'write direct to Miss Lyster | Rocksavage | Blackrock | Co Dublin'. The subject of the letter is presumably Annette M. Lyster, a voluminous author of children's books of a religious nature.

See the two men's entries, with that of Helena Faucit, in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded for postage. Addressed to 'Shirley Brooks Esq' and signed 'Theodore Martin'. Brooks has evidently asked for autographs and photographs of Martin and his wife, the celebrated actres Helena Faucit…(1817-1898). The letter begins: 'My dear Brooks / Here are the autographs you wish. There is not in all The Lady of Lyons one line to which any reasonable being could wish to attach his name. It is only the situations which are good for anything. Mrs Martin has therefore written a Sentence of Portia's, the Lady of Belmont.' He next discusses photographs of himself and his wife. He criticises Watkins's images of him, and asks to accept instead 'one of Disderi's which my friends say is characteristic. All the photographs of Mrs. Martin, published & unpublsihed, are simply execrable. Some day I hope to get Silvy to do something better, but she has such an aversion to sitting for her portrait, that this is by no means certain.' He praises Brooks's 'Elysian Fields' before referring (perhaps sarcastically) to the 'magniicent programme Dyson & Co. have settled for the 23d of April'. He is surprised 'they have omitted to secure the co-operation of the proprietors of Punch & Judy!'.
[Cholera epidemic in Madeira, 1856.] Autograph Letter Signed from Tom Taylor, Secretary of the Board of Health (and future editor of Punch), to his former school fellow Rev. A. J. D. D'Orsey, arranging for medical publications to be sent him.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. D'Orsey was Professor of Elocution at University College, London. 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. On aged, brittle paper, with slight wear and discoloration, a few closed tears along folds and traces of stub adhering to second leaf, but with entire text clear and intact. A long untidy letter, with writing u…p the margin on outer two pages. Addressed to 'The Revd. A J D'Orsey' and signed 'Tom Taylor'. The topic is an outbreak of cholera at Madeira, about which D'Orsey has clearly launched an appeal. (He may well be the author of the letter on the subject quoted from in The Medical Times, 4 October 1856.) Begins: 'Dear Sir / I remember you perfectly as my class fellow at Glasgow. [Taylor had spent two sessions there before going up to Cambridge.] I am very sorry that your letter finds me making holiday in the country, instead of at my office, the Genl Bd of Health in London'. (Taylor was appointed Assistant Secretary to the Board of Health in 1850, and was Secretary from 1854 to the Board's abolition in 1858.) Had he been at his post he would have been 'in the very centre of such information as you require'. All he can do is 'write by this post to Mr Session, our Medical Officer, sending him your [?] & letter & requesting him to transmit to you sets of all the Papers in the Office likely to be of practical service to you in your efforts to invetigate for the present, a guard for the future against, the terrible visitation which has befallen Madeira.' If Taylor can in any way 'direct public attention to the sad case of that island it will give me satisfaction to do so, but I shd. think the facts, imperfectly known as they are, wd. speak trumpet-tongued.' 'English benevolence', he feels, 'is seldom backward to relieve distant & strange distress' (the recent Potato Famine in Ireland is presumably too close to home), and 'Madeira is both far off enough & startling enough to rouse the sensibilities of this country.' He is 'far off from even a country town' (he cannot even 'procure a Post Office order' to send a 'mite' towards D'Orsey's appeal), but is sure that Session will be 'prompt' and the books will reach D'Orsey in time. In a postscript he gives his 'address for the next week'.

See his entry in Encyclopaedia Britannica, and Taylor's in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged, and folded once. In worn envelope with Penny Red stamp and postmark, and slight loss around flap. The envelope was no doubt retained because it was addressed by Delaunay to 'Sir Tom Taylor / Lavender Sweet [sic]…/ Wandsworth'. A neatly laid written and laid out communication, addressed to 'Cher Monsieur Taylor' and signed 'Yours truly / L Delaunay / de la Comedie française'. He regrets that he and his wife cannot accept Taylor's 'très cordiale invitation', as they accepted a similar one ten days before from 'Mr. & Mrs William Spottiswode' [sic]. He concludes with the thought that it would have been 'bien agréable de faire plus ample connaissance avec un homme d'un esprit aussi fin et aussi distingué'.

One page, 12mo. Good, if a little aged and lightly creased. He apologises for the delay in 'sending the drawing that now I ask you to please me by accepting' (not present). He asks her to accept it as a present for 'that almost superannuated festivity' of Christmas. 'I send you a coat-of-arms as that includes a certain amount of… letterpress which you will I think prefer to a simple drawing'. He has delivered all the drawings bought by Mrs Samuel's friend and has received his thanks.' Signed 'E. T. Rees'.

The three items in fair condition, on aged and worn paper, the last two items with traces of grey paper from mounting adhering. ONE: From Charlotte Street. 'Saturday' (undataed). Signed 'Irving Montagu'. 2pp., 8vo. Arranging to dine at Draper's in the face of a clashing invitation. TWO: From Briar Cottage, 2 January 1893. 4pp.,…12mo. Signed 'Montagu'. A warm letter, thanking him and praising his family and 'staunch friends': 'You speak very kindly of success in store for me - not so much for myself as for Cissie [his wife, born Cecilia Laura Borrell (1859-1910)] and the bairn do I wish it might be so - you and I are both fighters [.] I had my share of rough and tumble before my campaigning experiences [during the Russo-Turkish War, described in his book 'Camp and Studio' (1890)] and feel very deeply that I owe what impetus I have had to a wish to deserve well of such old friends as yourselves, to whom Cissie Violet and self again unite in best good wishes'. A postscript refers to 'Rufus' and his return to his studio. THREE: From Irving Cottage, 7 January 1893. 1p., 12mo. Signed 'Montagu'. He has been 'jacked up this week with a game foot', which thwarted his attempt to visit the Drapers at 60 Vincent Square. His wife Cissie, who has had a bad cold, joins him in 'mutual Salaams'.

ONE: Brooks's letter to Leitch Ritchie: 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. He thanks him for his 'kind and courteous communication', and is pleased that 'the article I sent seems to you adapted to the purpose'. Brooks has, he explains, 'availed myself of your suggestions in reference to the additions'. He co…ntinues with references to Vauxhall and 'The Highland Lamp'. 'I need hardly say, however, that I trust you will, by excision or any other process, render this, or any other article of mine you may accept, what is most desirable in a business point of view - a few years of managing and being managed teaches one that, after all, that is the point, though before attaining that piece of prosaic wisdom ones vanity gets fearfully scraped.' TWO: 'No. 1' of Brooks's novel 'Sooner or Later'. 48pp., 8vo. Frontispiece by George Du Maurier. In original pink printed wraps. Advertisement leaf, with specimen pages, for 'Thorley's Illustrated Farmers Almanack' tipped in at rear. In fair condition, on lightly-aged paper, in chipped and worn wraps with spine repaired with tape. THREE: Two Autograph Notes Signed by G. E. S. Chambers. 1p., 8vo. On letterhead of W. & R. Chambers, Limited, Publishers, Edinburgh and London. The first note, dated from Edinburgh in July 1923, reads 'This copy of Shirley Brooks' Sooner or Later, in original parts, came from the library of the late Mr R. Y. Naismith, Edinburgh, & was acquired by me, with others of his books, from his executors. This is the only copy in parts that I have ever met with, and is of extreme rarity. | G. E. S. Chambers'. Beneath this, on the same page, is the second note, dated 25 March 1932. It reads: 'The enclosed letter from Shirley Brooks to Leitch Ritchie was written in 1849, and refers to certain contributions to Chambers's Journal. It was found by me among papers & M.S.S. belonging to the above year, & must have been written some time before Shirley Brooks became a regular contributor to Punch. | G.E.S.C.'.
