Having been honoured with the rank of Grand Steward in 1805, he joined Grand Stewards Lodge in 1805. In 1810 he became Joint Secretary (Premier Grand Lodge) with his father William White, and was very active in the Lodge of Reconciliation. Before 1813 he was appointed Private Secretary to HRH the Duke of Sussex, an office held until the Duke's death. He was also Secretary of the Hon. Artillery Company. At the Quarterly Communication of March 1856 (when both Zetland and White were absent because of ill health) there was open opposition to the re-election of the Grand Master (though he was elected and proclaimed), and the motion was duly carried. The Masonic Mirror in March 1856 reported that Bro White was quite ill. White sent his resignation to the Grand Master. Zetland refused to accept it, and White continued until April 1857 when William Gray Clarke was appointed Grand Secretary. William Henry White became Joint Grand Secretary from 27th December 1813 and retired 29th April 1857. Bro White was to live a further nine years on the pension voted for him by Grand Lodge. He had served the premier Grand Lodge and the United Grand Lodge of England all his adult life. As Joint Grand Secretary of the Moderns with his father from 1810, and Joint Grand Secretary of the UGLE with Edwards Harper from 1813 to 1838 and finally as Grand Secretary of UGLE from 1839 to 1857. A total of forty-seven years, serving two Grand Masters, the Duke of Sussex and the Earl of Zetland, both of whom totally relied on him. He had withstood the onslaught of Drs. Crecefix and Oliver and outlasted them and their magazines. William H. White lived in retirement for another few years and passed away in 1866." - see The Union of the "Moderns" and the "Antients" Grand lodges to create The United Grand Lodge of England in 1813. Bi-Centenary Anniversary 2013 by Allan de Luca, The Chingford Masonic Association, Newsletter No.41 - Spring 2013 Editor - W Bro Allan de Luca . **** "Alexander Meyrick Broadley (19 July 1847 16 April 1916) was a British historian, author, and barrister. He is best known for being the defense lawyer for Ahmed Orabi after the failure of the Urabi Revolt. His father, also named Alexander, was vicar of Bradpole, in Dorset, England. He entered Lincoln's Inn as a law student in 1866 and was called to the bar in 1869. He lived in Tunis for a number of years and worked as a lawyer there within the French legal system. He later lived in Belgium for a time. In later life he returned to Bradpole and built a large house called "The Knapp" (as of 1998, it still existed and had been converted into a nursing home). He collected a large number of books, some of which he "grangerized" by adding additional illustrations, and also became a prolific author of books on historical topics." - See Wikipedia.

Early printing of this Everyman's Library's compilation of the author's collected non-fiction work. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Joan Didion on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Introduction by John Leonard. "I have been trying forever to figure out why [Didion's] sentences are better than mine or yours . . . Something about [their] cadence. They come at you, if not from ambush, then in gnomic haikus, ice pick laser beams, or waves. Even the space on the page around these sentences is more interesting than it ought to be, as if to square a sandbox for a Sphinx" (John Leonard).

1st. Octavo; xxi (ii), 518 pp. Original green cloth stamped in gilt. Spine sunned, some soiling to upper part of boards o/w Very Good. Laid in is an envelope addressed to "Mrs. Hoover/The White House/Washington" bearing a card engraved "Mrs. Henry White/Elm Court". The President has written "Hoover/1932" in pencil on ffep. The biography Henry White (1850 1927), a prominent American diplomat during the 1890s and 1900s, and one of the signers of the Treaty of Versailles. Theodore Roosevelt, who was president during the peak of White's career, described White as "the most useful man in the entire diplomatic service, during my Presidency and for many years before." Colonel House, the chief aide to Woodrow Wilson, called White "the most accomplished diplomatist this country has ever produced.".

[Virginia. 1854]. Broadside. 12 x 9½ inches. One expert, and small, tissue mend. Docketed: "1854 Mr. Powell for J.M. Beach." Included with the broadside is a small 1854 manuscript slave-hire document, signed by A.S. Grigsby. It details the hiring of an enslaved man named George and a promise to furnish him with shirts, a suit, coat, and hat, a vest, boots, and blankets. This document has loss along its right edge. An unrecorded 1854 Virginia broadside offering a reward for two jail escapees: James Henry Beach, a white man wanted for attempted murder, and Henry, an enslaved Black man. Though Beach and Henry are paired in the reward notice, only Henry is labeled as property: "Henry (the slave)," owned by Alexander Spottswood Grigsby, a wealthy and very active slave-trader who represented Fairfax county in the Virginia legislature. The reward disparity is telling: no sum is offered for Beach, who was jailed for attempted murder, while $25 to $100 is promised for Henry, depending on capture location. Whether jailed for a crime or for seeking freedom, Henry's value to the jailer lay in his return as propertyworth more, it seems, than the capture of an attempted murderer roaming free. Additionally, the text details the men's features. Its comment that Henry's complexion was "somewhat bleached" from imprisonment may echo contemporary racial pseudoscience and its fixation on racial purity. This is the first broadside we have ever encountered seeking both an enslaved African American and a white individual; a striking document showing how race, legal status, and economics shaped justice. Not in Hummel. Notes: James Henry Beach is found in the records as having stabbed a man named Klingscale. He was tried in Commonwealth v. James H. Beach, a mistrial was declared. He was tried again and fined $200 and sentenced to 12 months. As seen here, he made his escape with news accounts saying he did so "in a manner somewhat mysterious. it is very generally believe that 'outside assistance' was rendered the flown bird by whom is not known." Amazingly, on June 6 it is reported that Beach ("A Desperado" and here seen as "Henry Beach") called at a workhouse in Alexandria to see an inmate and tried to shoot his way in with a horse pistol. A scuffle ensued, and he was subdued. He was arrested and lodged in jail again. Sources on request.
