The history of the Mormons in the American West is so sweeping it is easy to ignore episodes that, for one reason or another, found no place in the traditional annals of the region. This series explored the story of the Mormon people and their part in the greater history of the Western Frontier. Primary source documents, many of them previously unpublished, comprise this series' core Will Bagley (1950-2021) wrote and edited more than twenty books on overland emigration, frontier violence, railroads, mining, and the Mormons. He lectured widely and had appeared in more than a dozen films, including the American Experience episode of the 'The Mormons' on PBS.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. MOORE, Thomas Sturge (1870-1944).

Both folded for posting, with light creasing and some scattered spotting, more noticeable to the earlier letter, but both very good. In the letter of 27 September 1938, Irish poet, artist and writer Moore asks Scott-James to return two pieces from his series 'Provocations', noting that he does not seem inclined to make use of them and that he has been approached for another section of the series elsewhere. It is well known that Sturge Moore struggled to find publication for these later poems. In the letter of 21 February 1939, he sends 'a couple of sonnets and a note on them', expressing the hope that Scott-James may wish to print them in the London Mercury, and adding a stamped addressed envelope for their return if unsuitable. A neat pair of letters showing Moore submitting work to Scott-James in his capacity as editor of the London Mercury. Signed by Author(s).

But the last 25 years will include the renaissance in British Chemical industry, engendered by the World War.' Final paragraph discusses practicalities of lecture. ITEM TWO (autograph, one page, octavo): It will be 'equally convenient' for him to lecture on the alternative date, and he requests confirmation.

(1802-75) with Carlisle and Newcastle connections. The recipient (1794-1860) was a miniature-painter and member of the Royal Academy. Both letters in poor condition, on discoloured, worn and stained paper, but with no loss to text. In LETTER ONE (two pages, 12mo) he states his willingness to meet Ross 'to talk over the matter to whicy your letter of yesterday refers', undertaking to 'enage with Mr. Thorburn to meet us'. LETTER TWO (four pages, 12mo) begins 'I called upon you last evening to report progress and to enquire if you had received any names for our list since the munificent sub[scriptio]n of Sir George Hayter'. He names the eleven men who have so far subscribed, including H. Cruikshank, A. E. Chalon, J. J. Chalon and Sir W. J. Newton. 'I am much gratified by the kindly feeling of the Messrs. Chalon & Sir Wm Newton - Mr. Cruikshank will leave the amount of his subn. for consideration when he knows what money may be required - his remark was "from five to eight pounds"! a most liberal offer!! and it will evidently be given with all his heart'. 'We are now firmly under way and with a little exertion, I think we have the prospect of making it a most unanimous demonstration of kindly feeling amongst the leading professors of his own branch of Art'.

Although he later repudiated his position, Mackintosh is notable for having defended the French Revolution from Edmund Burke's strictures. See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. With regard to Maurice's oriental studies, it is worth noting that Mackintosh was Recorder of Bombay, 1804-1811. The three items are in good condition, lightly aged and worn and folded for postage. The last two show slight evidence of the breaking of the wafer, and the last has minor traces of brown paper mount. All three are bifoliums, and all are signed 'James Mackintosh'. ONE ('Serle Street Lincolns Inn August 13th.'): 3pp, 4to. Addressed to 'Reverend Mr Maurice / Twickenham'. He begins by explaining the reasons why he will be unable to see Maurice at Twickenham before leaving town for the autumn, when he will 'got to Wales on a visit to a Friend in Monmouthshire'. He continues, with reference to Beloe: 'From what I have seen of Mr Beloe & heard of his Lady I cannot but regret that I have mist [sic] an opportunity of passing a day in their Company.' The letter continues with reference to the bearer of the letter 'Mr Watson' (a 'College Companion' of Mackintosh's, who 'has since taken orders (if that be not too high a word for a presbyterian ordination in the church of Scotland'). Watson has returned from Jamaica, and Mackintosh enquires how he should proceed with regard to approaching the Bishop of London for Anglican ordination through Lord Balcarras, 'Mr Nares [Robert Nares (1753-1829)] & Mr Beloe' (i.e. Robert Nares (1753-1829) and William Beloe (1756-1817), editors of the British Critic). TWO ('Charlotte Street / Monday Eight OClock P.M.'): 1p, 8vo. Addressed to 'Revd. Mr Maurice / Low Layton / Essex'. With two faint postmarks and broken wafer. He has received Maurice's 'parcel' and will avail himself of his 'hints'. Presumably regarding a review he is writing of a work by Maurice, he states that he had 'determined to divide the Critique into two Articles': 'You may be assured that nothing shall limit praises which my heart or head concur on bestowing but the recollection that if they appear excessive they may prove injurious by being thought partial & insincere'. THREE ('Wednesday'). 3pp, 4to. Addressed to 'Revd Thomas Maurice / Great Russell Street' [i.e. at the British Museum]. With regard to a 'Subject so interesting' to Maurice he regrets 'our postponing a visit to Christie's [the London auction house of James Christie (1730-1803)] till we could both go which the Obstinacy of Mrs M's illness has hitherto prevented'. As his wife 'ventures abroad' for the first time that day (she is going to Warwick at the weekend), he suggests visiting the auction house that Friday. He laments 'the loss of a £50 bank note which I was unlucky enough to drop between Hammersley's in Pall [Mall] where I received it & my own house'. He describes the 'usual precautions' he has taken. 'You may easily conceive that this accident has not a little deranged me'. Postscript: 'I return the proof sheet & plate with thans for the gratification of curiosity'.
