Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Illustrations by E. W. Kemble and the Author (illustrator). First Edition. 208 pages. This book is notable for the gift inscription by the artist James A. M. Whistler on the front free endpaper, "signed" with his butterfly. "To Mrs Chalmers Mitchell / F.F.V.! / [butterfly drawing]." A later gift card signed "Lily C. M." and dated 1947 is laid in. Lily Chalmers Mitchell was the wife of zoologist Peter Chalmers Mitchell. Whistler may have known them through their mutual friend, publisher William Heinemann. "F.F.V." likely stands for First Families of Virginia. Perhaps Lily was from Virginia. Whistler's brother William lived in Richmond. Signed.

The six items in good condition, on lightly-aged paper. ONE: Typed Letter Signed to Carter, in English, from Miss Dr. D. van Velden, curator. On letterhead of the Rijksmuseum Meermanno-Westreenianum. 22 March 1966. 1p., 12mo. Giving details of the opening hours. TWO: Typed Letter Signed to Carter from E. A. Lowe. On letterhead of the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, New Jersey. 25 January 1969. 'If there are any new developments re Stanley Morison, I hope you will keep me posted. Some one sent me Brooke Crutchley's Two Men. There was no card so I do not know to whom I am indebted. [.] Do you recall our dinner at the Garrick Club when I astonished you and Morison by ordering steak tartare. What a delightful occasion! I cannot tell you how I miss S. M.' THREE: Copy of Carter's typed reply to Item Two. 1p., 4to. 3 February 1969. The second paragraph begins: 'The Morisonians are at work.' and notes activities by Nicolas Barker, Brooke Crutchley, S. H. Steinberg ('who died last week to our great loss') and James Moran. 'Last night there was an excellent BBC programme organised by Douglas Cleverdon and Nicolas Barker, which included some superb recordings of Morison's own voice. I believe a transcript of this is being prepared for those specially interested and if so I will get a copy for you.' He ends in the hope that Lowe will be able to visit England in May. 'Fredson Bowers is coming to collect his medal and we shall lay on some suitable ceremony - a dinner if I have my way - for him and Graham Pollard; to which your presence would add an immense eclat, besides giving much pleasure to your friends.' FOUR: Autograph Letter Signed to Carter from James Moran. On his letterhead, 13 Chesterford Gardens, London. 1p., 4to. He writes, as a Governor of St Bride's, to ask if Carter 'would be prepared to allow your name to be added to an appeal to establish a Beatrice Warde Memorial Lecture Fund. We are asking some thirty distinguished people on both sides of the Atlantic to sign the appeal'. He is enclosing a draft (Item Five). FIVE: Duplicated Typed circular enclosed with Item Four, headed 'Beatrice Warde Memorial Lecture Fund Appeal'. 1p., 8vo. Moran has written 'Draft' at the head of the head. SIX: Copy of Typed Letter from Nicolas Barker to H. R. B. Hamilton of Messrs Crane & Hawkins, London. 6 May 1971. 2pp., 8vo. Headed 'MRS. B. L. B. WARDE DEC'D'. The letter begins: 'As agreed on the telephone, I am writing to make a proposal to you about the future of that part of the papers and possessions of Mrs. Warde that were deposited with me, as suggested by the memorandum drawn up by Mr. Jones and Miss Clutton of the Monotype Corporation (I enclose a copy). From this you will see that three items, numbers 4, 10 and 20 were put in my hands. The value assigned to them for a total off $250. I would like to offer to buy these papers from the Estate, so that they may be kept with the other main Morison archive, which is partly in my possession and partly in that of the Literary Executors of Morison's Estate and the Cambridge University Press. As I told you, it is my hope that the complete archive will be deposited in the Cambridge University Library. [.]' The letter continues with reference to the valuation. Barker has copied in Crutchley, Jones and Carter, the last of whom he proposes as a valuer at Sotheby's.

Condition: Very Good. Octavo, two pages (the outer surfaces of a bifolium) on the letterhead of the 'Public Library, Museums, and National Gallery of Victoria | The National Museum'. Folded twice horizontally for posting; a few creases; scattered light foxing; in excellent condition. Spencer writes: 'Dear Mr Carter, I have written to Mr Baracchi telling him that you are anxious to see him & giving him your address. As it is Easter time & he is a free man it is just possible that he may be going out of town. You have got a most excellent man in Steele [sic] - I don't think he has worked much at Annulates but anything he does will be thoroughly well done. Flynn I think will do the Mammals well - at all events he has the knowledge - but I do not know whether he can write in a semi-scientific style. With all good wishes for the success of your work. Yours very sincerely, W. Baldwin Spencer'. 'This Encyclopaedia was first projected in 1912 as a historical and biographical record . and much material had been collected when the outbreak of war in 1914 temporarily halted its progress. In 1917 work was resumed, and it was decided to include articles on scientific subjects also. For this section of the work we were fortunate to obtain the services of Mr Herbert J. Carter . who was able to secure the co-operation of the leading men of science in Australia' (from the preface to the 1925 first edition). Sir Walter Baldwin Spencer (1860-1929), 'university scientist and administrator, anthropologist and connoisseur' ('Australian Dictionary of Biography') was honorary director of the National Museum of Victoria from 1899 and, with William Ramsay Smith, contributed much of the entry on Australian Aboriginal people; Thomas Steel contributed the entry on the genus Periptatus (and has his own posthumous entry in Volume II); and T. Thomson Flynn (zoologist and father of the better-known Errol) appears not to have made a contribution. Signed.

"after due inquiry and deliberate consideration by the Meeting of Ratcliffe & Barking", that the couple took each other as husband and wife, promising "through Divine assistance. to be Faithful and affectionate", signed by the couple and witnessed by his mother and her parents, and by 48 other witnesses, including Sarah, Catherine, Elizabeth and John Gurney (the children of Samuel Gurney of Ham House) and by Mrs Elizabeth Fry, 1780-1845, the great prison reformer, also by her husband's sister Miss Elizabeth Fry and by Sarah and Louise Fry, engraved with MS additions, vellum roll, 19½" x 13½", Plaistow, Essex, 28th 7th Month (July) In 1828 Joseph Fry's bank failed and he and Elizabeth had to leave Plashet to live above the office in St. Mildred's Court, Poultry. However, his tea business was still solvent, and by 1829, having paid off all private debts, they moved to The Cedars, Upton Lane, West Ham, close to Elizabeth's brother Samuel Gurney at Ham House. Miss Elizabeth Fry had been able to keep Plashet Cottage in East Ham. About this time Mrs Fry's diary shows her nervousness about her ministry but Miss Elizabeth was a minister too and was her staunch companion and support when they went to Meeting. Other witnesses' surnames: Allcard, Backhouse (James), Baradaile, Barrit, Bedford, Carter (3), Catton, Coleby, Curratt, Dimsdale, Harris, Hoare (Anne), Kitching, Knight, Lemare, Lullman, Marsden, Morland, Pryor (7), Seale, Stevens, Taylor, Theobald (4), Wastie, Waterfall, Whiting, Wilson.
