Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. MARTIN (Sir Theodore, 1816-1909). Autograph Manuscript Leaf Signed, quoting Heinrich Heine, dated June 1889. 1 p., 8vo, in ink on laid paper, the verso with old paper adhesions, crease and an old fold. Good. From Heinrich Heine's Poems and Ballads in Martin's hand, written out and…signed is this quotation: "The rose, the lily, the sun, and the dove, I loved them all with a passion of love. That is past; now one only is dear to me, My pretty, my witty, pure, peerless she; She herself, source of all that is worthy love, Is rose, and lily, and sun, and dove." From Heine, by Theodore Martin. June 1889. Sir Theodore's acclaimed English translation of Heine's Buch der Lieder (1854) introduced the German poet's lyrical romanticism to Victorian readers and influenced later Anglophone verse renderings. This autograph transcription—made thirty-five years later—shows Martin's lasting affection for Heine's poetry. Sir Theodore Martin was a Scottish poet, translator and man of letters, best known for his translations of Heine, Horace, and Catullus, and for his monumental Life of the Prince Consort. He was also the husband of the celebrated Shakespearean actress and author of On Some of Shakespeare's Female Characters, Lady Helen (Faucit) Martin. It is rare to find a manuscript leaf like this from him. Signed by Author(s).

With numerous black-and-white illustrations and photographs throughout. [The pagination of this periodical changed from original 16 pages per n…umber at the beginning of Volume I, to 8 pages towards the end of the first Volume. With the start of Volume II , in 1892, the periodical changed again to 8 pages per issue and also changed its numbering. We were not able to verify if this magazine was published beyond the May - Issue of 1892]. Hardcover / Private, decoratived half-leather with gilt lettering and ornament on spine. Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. With the very interesting provenance of two Welsh men of Carmarthen: Victorian photographer J.F.Lloyd and J.C.Portnell. Bound by: 'The "Welshman" Newspaper and Steam Printing Co. Lt., Bookbinders, Machine Rulers, & c., Carmarthen' - with their bookbindery-label on pastedown. Includes manuscript-draft of a speech on endpaper titled 'John Jones Chairman', written by photographer J.F.Lloyd, Carmarthen. The calligraphed titlepage of this privately bound compilation shows the watermark 'Annandale Polton', of 'Annandale and Polton Paper Mill Company', which operated from 1825 until after the Second World War. Contains hand-written note on Page 1, dated January 29, 1896, signed by Editor Josiah Richardson'. This note also contains the blindstamped address of Josiah Richardson at 'Gordon House, Wandsworth Common, S.W.'. In this note, Richardson telles the recipient that "I hope soon to go on with the publication of my Journal & should then be pleased to number you among my subscribers - Faithfully your Josiah Richardson". The date of this note leads to the assumption that by 1896, the magazine had already ceased to exist and Richardson answers to one of his fans by expressing his hope to go on. The Volume also includes a manuscript - Index to the rear of the Volume. A very rare and uncommmon compilation of this early Magazine, with very interesting articles from "Pronounciation in Singing" to "Alteration of Music by Singers" to "Vocal Physiology" (Breathing / Principle of Breathing etc.), to "Stammering" etc. This short lived periodical is striking for its excellent, in-depth articles on topics like "Voice Culture" (Lesson for the Month: Tone Formation) / "Sight Singing and Notation" / "Vocal Physiology" / "Something for the Children" / "Songs Worth Singing and How To Sing Them" / "Advice to Singers" / "Articulation for Singers" / "Concerning Critics" / "Concerning The Future of Song and Speech" / "Interviews with Leading Singers and Speakers"Lessons on Word Painting" / "British Dialects" (an article on the usefulness of knowing british dialects "to reciters and in a lesser degree to singers. In sustaining the various country characters so frequently introduced into plays and sketches) For example "Mid-Yorkshire Dialect"/ "Concerning Nervousness" / "Mark Anthony on the Death of Caesar - Shakespeare - A Study for Reciters" / Included are also Bookreviews on the topics of Song and Speech (For example "M.Bautain - Extempore Speaking" / Margaret H.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Rose Macaulay - Pleasure in Ruins. Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London, 1953. First edition. In original dust jacket. One of Macaulay's most distinctive late works, Pleasure in Ruins blends travel writing, cultural history and meditation on time, decay and memory. M…oving from classical antiquity and the dissolved monasteries of Henry VIII to the bomb-damaged churches and cities of post-war Britain and Europe, Macaulay treats ruins not as picturesque curiosities but as records of belief, ambition and destruction. Written after the Blitz - in which her own London home was destroyed - the book combines wit, irony and deep classical learning with a modern awareness of cultural fragility. It stands close in spirit to The Towers of Trebizond and is widely regarded as a major work of mid-twentieth-century English nonfiction. An uncommon first edition in the scarce original jacket, offered with significant association material linking Macaulay to Roger Senhouse of Secker & Warburg. Association material included: Autograph postcard from Rose Macaulay to Roger Senhouse, postmarked London W1, 8 PM, 9 March 1954, sent from 20 Hinde House, W1. The message reads approximately: "Very many thanks for the card. I very rarely go to see the pictures - I couldn't remember what gallery they were in. Thanks for your sympathy re burglars - The Glasgow repairman who came to mend my fridge, & to whom I told the story, said, with contempt, 'Och! no one knocks me down & gets away with it,' so I felt small & contemptible. I see that two burglars have now murdered a hotel porter (must have been the same, I fear). I hope you are well again. Everyone but me seems to have been in high fervour at the Reform that evening - Rose." The reference to burglars who had "now murdered a hotel porter" almost certainly alludes to the widely reported killing of George Frederick Smart, night porter at the Aban Court Hotel, Kensington, in the early hours of 9 March 1954. The exact alignment of the postmark with the date of the murder strongly suggests Macaulay was reacting to contemporary newspaper reports. Invitation card from Macaulay to Senhouse for cocktails (6-8) at the Lansdowne Club, Berkeley Square, signed "his Rose Macaulay", with RSVP address at 20 Hinde House. Mounted and overpainted engraving of Piazza Colonna, inscribed on the reverse "Christmas Greetings & Love from Rose". Four contemporary newspaper clippings relating chiefly to Macaulay. Two pages of pencil autograph notes by Roger Senhouse to the rear endpapers, dated 20 July 1958, reflective and personal in nature, mentioning E. M. Forster as "my best living novelist". Handwriting consistent with known examples. From the library of William St Clair (1937-2021), historian and author, with his signature to the front free endpaper. Condition: Very good in green cloth with red and gilt spine label. Light wear to boards. Original dust jacket not price clipped (25s net), with chipping and small losses at extremities and some toning; now protected in removable clear cover. Internally clean and sound, minor spotting and offsetting to endpapers. xvii + 466pp + plates (71 images plus 4 illustrations in the text). 224mm x 150mm x 42mm. A highly appealing association copy, linking Rose Macaulay with Roger Senhouse and the Secker & Warburg circle, and offering a vivid documentary glimpse of literary London in 1954. Inscribed by Author(s).

Contact seller5-star sellerThough little is known about this American writer, he had a following as a horror and sci-fi writer of such short stories as "The Caller in the Night" (1917) and other oft-anthologized ghost tales; his "In the Open Code" appeared in "The Best Short Stories of 1918," and he also published novels such as "The End of the Flight" (1…917) and "Gallant Rogue" (1921). Two items: First, a TLS, 1p, 8½" X 11", New York, NY, 1923 March 2. Addressed to Professor Albert Johannsen, author of "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" (University of Oklahoma Press, 1950), the definitive reference work and bibliography on the subject. Near fine. "I feel truly honored by your wish to include something of mine in your collection of autographs and manuscripts," he begins. "If the scribble I am sending you is not to your taste, you must let me know. My book manuscripts are the property of the publishers, and magazine editors never save or return the 'copy' of stories; hence this scrap from an unfinished yarn is the only thing at hand." Second is the accompanying "scrap" -- labeled "Rough draft" in red pencil at the upper left in Kline's hand -- which is titled "Sunk Without a Trace" and is an AMS, 1p, 8½" X 11", n.p., n.y. Near fine. It consists of one very full page of bold and legible text, beginning: "On the 15th of every March I regularly receive a line from my friend Dr. Carver. Regularly his letter commands me to dine with him at the ___ Club on the 21st of the month. This annual feast has become a fixture between us. The dinner is not to herald the technical, and sometimes the actual, arrival of Spring. It is to celebrate, it may be the fourth, the sixth -- this year it was the seventh -- anniversary of Dr. Carver's divorce." Could become a horror tale -- but in any case, it's an attractive and interesting rough draft example that makes you want to read more. Also present is Johannsen's original 8½" X 11" file folder, bearing a printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label (partly filled in by Johannsen).

Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. An Original Autograph Manuscript Signed by Writer Harold John Massingham. Undated. Autograph manuscript, four stanzas, titled 'Seventh Heaven' [unpublished?] signed at foot [then oddly scored through]. Heaven was full of streets of gold And Lamb and Lion the city strolled The suns of Seraph…s' eyes flung rays That splashed upon the golden ways But wehere was the sweat of the brow?
