Add to basket4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. A long and detailed letter, beginning: 'The situation is not quite as we thought it. Yesterday I saw Mr. Higgs at Downing Street and he explained to me all the circumstances concerning the consideration of Mrs. Latey's petitions. | The suggestion emanating from him, with the Prime Minister's concurrence, is… as follows.' The plan outlined, as Mrs Latey is not eligible for the pension, is for a fund to be established for her, to which 'the Prime Minister would add [.] a sum from Royal Bounty - the whole to be sunk in an annuity for her. | The idea of losing this chance of a subsidy from the State is not a pleasant one, but it would be very distasteful for me and my brothers to appeal to people upon whom we have no shadow of a claim, just because they have been friends or admirers of our Father.' A capital sum of around £300 would only give an annuity of £20 or £30 a year, and he would decline to proceed if this were the case, suggesting that the capital be paid to his mother in installments until he and his brothers are 'able to make her comfortable'., adding: 'I have no doubt the Institute of Journalists and theh Newspaper Press Fund would co-operate, and doubtless the I.L.N. would contribute.' The letter continues for another three paragraphs. William Latey's distinguished career, beginning in journalism and ending at the bar, is outlined in his entry in Who Was Who. For more on John Latey, a leading figure in the world of Victorian journalism and founder of the London Press Club, see his entry in the Oxford DNB. Shorter had succeeded John Lash Latey as editor of the Illustrated London News, and had on occasion worked with his son.

Contact seller5-star sellerThe Norwich Edition of George Borrow Number One of Only 775 Copies - Beautifully Bound by Bayntun-Rivière BORROW, George. The Works of George Borrow. Edited, with much hitherto unpublished manuscript, by Clement Shorter. London: Constable & Co. Ltd.; New York: Gabriel Wells, 19231924. The Norwich Edition. Limited to 775 numbered… copies, this being copy number 1. Sixteen octavo volumes (8 3/4 x 5 3/4 inches; 222 x 146 mm.). Title-pages printed in red and black throughout. Handsomely bound circa 1950 by Bayntun-Rivière in three-quarter medium green morocco over green cloth boards ruled in gilt, spines with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt. A fine and elegant set in an especially pleasing postwar Bayntun-Rivière binding. A distinguished edition of the works of one of the nineteenth century's most eccentric and compelling literary wanderers. Linguist, traveler, Bible salesman, folklorist, and novelist, George Borrow created books unlike any of his contemporaries - vivid, autobiographical narratives infused with gypsy lore, roadside adventures, linguistic curiosity, and a deep fascination with the margins of European society. Borrow's enduring masterpieces include The Bible in Spain, his extraordinary account of travels through Spain while distributing Protestant scriptures; Lavengro and The Romany Rye, semi-autobiographical works blending memoir, fiction, and philosophical reflection; and Wild Wales, one of the great travel books of the Victorian era. His prose possesses a singular energy and immediacy, filled with colorful encounters, strange characters, and the romance of the open road. Edited by Clement Shorter and incorporating previously unpublished manuscript material, the Norwich Edition remains one of the most important collected editions of Borrow's writings. The present example, copy number one of the edition, gains additional distinction from its refined Bayntun-Rivière binding - a set equally attractive on the shelf and rewarding in content.
