Also included are three hand-written letters, to the owner of the collection, Horace B. Hare, a close personal friend of Newton's, and Pennsylvania neighbor. Hare's wife, Mary Ellen, nee Cassatt, was a niece of painter Mary Cassatt. The pamphlet collection has several items signed and inscribed by Newton. Also included is the important First Edition of Three Songs for St. Cecilia's Day by W.H. Auden The collection comes in a custom made folding box that Newton himself had made for Hare at a binder in London, which is the subject of one of the letters and mentioned in another. The box is 3/4 navy morocco over blue cloth covered boards. Titles in gilt. Marbled liner. In generally nice condition, however the front hinge is split fully along its length. Still, it is holding firm by the liner beneath. All pieces are square, tight and clean throughout with little or no wear. One or two have a slight dog-eared corner but very trivial defects. Items include: * A Leech Drawing. 1923 Signed and inscribed presentation copy. "Mr. & Mrs. Horace Hare, How time flies, printed eleven years ago for my friends. A.

Two are from December, 1934 and discuss the gift from Newton to Hare of the custom made box to hold these pamphlets, his "Newtonia". The third letter is dated December 1939 and is an acknowledgment of a gift Newton received from Hare and the hope that they may get together soon. Clearly this was a close association. To conclude this remarkable gathering is a two-page, 8.5" x 11" proof, on onion skin, dated June, 1940, of a letter from Newton to be published as a Broadside, with a third page written and signed by Newton describing the project and its limitation to 200 copies.

The collection is in fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Two of Brock's three Typed Letters Signed are addressed to theatre bookseller Barry Duncan. In one of them, written on 18 March 1969, he writes: 'I have been knocking around for 60 years i think i have played every theatre of note and played with some of the best | but i am getting tired with this club stuff you play a diffrent club every night some time you double them in a night un [sic] packing and packing up. | so i am waiting for GALAS one show a day will do me'. The third letter is to 'Jimmy', i.e. 'Jimmy Lynton', the stage name of entertainer Charles Parson (1887-1970), grandfather of prime minister Tony Blair. The five photographs are all black and white, and range in size from 18 x 13 cm to 12 x 9 cm. They depict Brock swallowing and spinning knives, and balancing a microphone stand on his chin. The two pamphlets are thin 12mo bifoliums, almost identical in design, the only apparent difference being the fact that on one copy a photograph has been laid down over what on the other is a drawing of Brock doing his act. They are printed in blue, red and gold, with the cover bearing an acrostic in large letters of Brock's name: 'Breathtaking | Remarkable | Original | Complete | Knife-edge | EQUILIBRIST | Spinning & Juggling | Genuine Cavalry Swords and Knives | ILLUMINATED CLUBS'. He boasts that his act is 'Booked, Re-booked and Recommended' and 'always kept fresh by addition of Clever and Original Material'. Also present are copies of two letters from Barry Duncan to Brock, both from March 1969. The first discusses a proposal by 'Our mutual friend Jimmy Lynton'; the second responds to Brock's letter of 18 March.

An interesting archive of material relating to a movement whose influence extended beyond the British Empire. In 1906 the MEL had induced the Board of Education to make provision for moral instruction in the education code for England and Wales, and two years later the first in a series of International Moral Education Congresses was held at the University of London, with Michael Sadler in the chair (the sixth and last would take place in Krakow, Poland, in 1934). The twenty items present here are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. They all appears to have been sent by the MEL in 1914 to member W. R. Macpherson of 17 King Charles Road, Surbiton, Surrey (formerly of Chancery Lane), and includes [One] a TLS to him from the MEL Secretary, Alexander Farquharson (1864-1951), with [Two] receipt for his subscription of five shillings signed by G.

[Ten to Twelve] Three issues of 'The Moral Education League Quarterly': no.36 (1 April 1914, 8pp, six articles, including 'Mr. William Archer on "Knowledge and Character"'), no.37 (1 July 1914, 12pp, seven articles, including 'Mr. Gould's American Tour'), no.38 (1 October 1914, 8pp, seven articles, including 'The Sex Ideal').
