12mo. 18.5 by 13 cm. 96, 16 pp. The last 16 pages are Partridge's Catalogue of Illustrated Publications. Portrait plates of each of the four speakers -- these are counted in the pagination -- ornamental bands at the beginning of each chapter (or speech), woodcut vignettes at the close of each chapter. The Catalogue makes evident that Partridge at the time aligned with Christian publishing, and it was especially active publishing Temperance literature, among other things. The book addresses the proposition that there is nothing wrong with "moderate" drinking, an argument made by those who enjoy alcohol and don't think they should suffer for the sins of the drunkards out there. Thus it should be no surprise that the speeches herein memorialized take different approaches, but they all end up on the same side -- moderate drinking is not to be condoned. A few leaves or gatherings somewhat loose, and slightly broken hinge. Generally age toned, with occasional foxing, a few light pencil markings (which we think better to keep instead of erasing), but mostly clean otherwise. The Catalogue section is on a thinner paper, and it is foxed more heavily. Blindstamped Cloth, with gilt and black stamping also on front cover and spine (lettering, decoration, names of speakers).

Its founder and editor, Thomas Bywater Smithies, believed that pictures were the best way to promote Christian morals, temperance, and the world wide abolition of slavery. The magazine was supported by the great politician and social reformer, Lord Shaftsbury, and Florence Nightingale distributed it to troops during the Crimean War. A scarce volume of 72 issues dating from the magazine's golden period, featuring several issues with outstanding front-page wood engravings by John Gilbert, and including one by Harrison Weir.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged and creased. Folded for postage. Signed 'T. B. Smithies' and addressed to 'W. Allan Esq / 17 South Grove East'. The subject is Smithies's monthly 'improving paper', the 'British Workman, and Friend of the Sons of Toil', which he had launched in 1855, and which Allan is clearly offering to distribute gratis. He is much obliged by Allan's favour of the previous day, but explains: 'At present I am very seriously out of pocket with my little publication, & I cannot therefore do all I would do', but if Allan will show the present letter to his publisher 'Mr Partridge, of Paternoster Row', he will supply him with copies 'at the trade price'. He ends in the hope that Allan's 'gratuitous distribution' of the works 'will do good to many amongst the working classes'.
