18TH CENTURY HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT RECIPE FOR CLEANING HARD STAINS FROM THE COLLECTION OF SIR THOMAS PHILLIPPS
Published by
France
Used
Manuscript
Signed
Seller: Katz Fine Manuscripts Inc., Cochrane, AB, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Manuscript. Condition: Very Good+. Undated, unsigned, late 18th century small note, while nicely penned, full of spelling errors, most likely written by a woman, giving various instructions on how to clean out hard stains using this specific "water" being a blend of detergent and a soapy-like cologne. Very interesting for someone studying late 18th century women's studies. Biographical Notes: SIR THOMAS PHILLIPPS (1792-1872). Born in 1792, Sir Thomas Phillipps from childhood was obsessed with the idea of obtaining virtually anything written or printed on paper, including cartloads of documents from wastepaper merchants and the entire inventories of booksellers. "I wish to have one copy of every book in the world," he declared to a friend. He very nearly succeeded. His collection ultimately grew to more than 100,000 books and at least 60,000 manuscripts. As a result of his extravagant purchases, Sir Thomas was permanently on the verge of bankruptcy and was constantly pursued by creditors. So many books arrived at his house that it was impossible to unpack his acquisitions much less keep pace with them. Visiting scholars, driven to distraction, would spend days hunting for an elusive text in the dusty heaps that filled every room. Because Sir Thomas has a morbid dread of fire, most of his collection was housed in coffinlike boxes that could be carted away quickly. Visitors to Middle Hill were struck too, by the presence of numerous logs, a ploy he used to lure beetles away from his books. As Sir Thomas relentlessly pursued his passion, the house itself began to crumble and its floors started to sag under the cast weight of hundreds of tons of paper. His neglect of Middle Hill was partly deliberate, however. Sir Thomas's chief enemy in life, James Halliwell, had married his daughter against his wishes. It appears that Halliwell was, in Sir Thomas' eyes, the worst kind of criminal, a book thief who had stolen valuable works from university libraries and even from his father-in-law. Having no sons, Sir Thomas was unable to prevent Halliwell from inheriting his estate. To ensure that his detested heir would never receive anything of value, Sir Thomas's solution was to allow Middle Hill to fall unto complete disrepair. He even went so far as to chop down and sell for lumber the centuries-old oak trees that lined the majestic mile-long drive to his home. In 1863 Sir Thomas decided to move - in order to accommodate his books. With the aid of 160 men, 103 wagonloads of books and papers drawn by 230 horses, the books were lumbered from Middle Hill top their new estate in nearby Cheltenham. It is said that for years afterwards the countryside was littered with the remains of carts that had collapsed under the sheer weight of the Phillipps collection. Sir Thomas continues to add to his library until his death in 1872. After Sir Thomas's death, his immediate family had no room for his collection. So vast was the library that although individual items and large sections were sold privately or through numerous auction sales, the Phillipps collection is still being sold more than a century after the death of its owner. In the course of its sales, many treasures have come to light. As late as 1964, part of the long-lost and unique medieval manuscript of the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses appeared and was subsequently reunited with its other half at Magdalen College, Oxford. Once destined for destruction as worthless wastepaper, this and many other priceless works were saved by the single-minded obsession of the greatest bibliomaniac of all time. Autograph.

Handwritten Poetic Manuscript Circa 1830.
Used
Signed
Seller: GH Mott, Bookseller, Ridgefield, CT, U.S.A.
Seller rating 3 out of 5 stars
Condition: Very good. This notebook contains a lengthy hand-written poem in many stanzas and several parts entitled "The Conscript-A Poem with Notes-Dedicated to my dear friend and brother James." Setting for the poem is France, with a comment on Napoleon that appears to be roughly contemporary (Napoleon died in 1832.) In her notes she explains her reference in stanza 2 to Napoleon's reign of "insatiate tyranny." The rear of the manuscript contains two additional pieces: "On the Death of My Brother Age 16"; and the beginnings of a play, "Constance de Meramie or The Waldensian Mother-A Drama." The poem is signed "Fanny", but no last name is given. The provenance o this manuscript is probably New England. While there certainly were published women writers of the period, literary historians must seek out unpublished manuscripts such as this to get a complete picture of the early female tradition in this country. Some scraping of marbleized back cover, but on the whole this piece is in very good condition. Seller Inventory # 48847

Condition: Good+. On offer a rather intriguing manuscript. It measures about 7 x 7 ¾ inches and has an embossed small seal on the top left hand corner that says, W. Clark & Co. Northampton.Text as follows: House Journal Report 1830 & 31 Page 115. Old Prison 1830L. Length from east to west 400 feet. Width from north to south 160 feet. This is the size of the whole enclosure. 23 light cells and 2 dark cells, and a dining room. And kitchen on the first floor. And 23 light cells and dark cells, a hospital. And a room adjoining the hospital on the second floor. The cells are 9 feet 6 inches long and 5 feet 9 inches wide. And there was four convicts put in each cell. House Journal 1829.

Except a room in the southwest corner in which the. The female convicts are placed." While we are not sure what prison this manuscript is relating to, but on the bottom of the manuscript in pencil, the word Ohio is written with a question mark. We have found a Northampton in Pennsylvania and also one in Massachusetts which may narrow the research the new owner may give this super antique prison/penal document.

1894 Handwritten Transcribed Manuscript of Tom Taylor's "Plot and Passion", a 19th Century Detective Play
Published by
Transcription of 19th Century Detective Play, United States, 1894
Used
Hardcover
Seller: Katz Fine Manuscripts Inc., Cochrane, AB, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. On offer is an outstanding example of the type of melodramatic stage productions that were popular in 19th century America. The script is of a transcribed, handwritten copy of a manuscript entitled "Plot and Passions", originally authored by the English dramatist, critic and editor of Punch Magazine, Tom Taylor, sometime prior to 1853. On the first page, there is a dedication to a "Mrs. Ella Marbles from one Phillip Ray". On the last page, there is another notation: "Presented to S. M. Forest Mrs. Ella Marbles The Old Lady of the Columbus Stock, Chicago Ill, May 17th / '94". Our informal research has not been able to find any additional biographical information about any of these individuals. The play's original author, Tom Taylor, began his career as a professor of English literature and language at University College, London in the 1840s. However, he did not remain long in that position, leaving to practice law. Upon being called to the Bar, he practiced law for about 5 years, before joining the British Civil Service, where he worked until retirement in 1876. Parallel to this, he built a flourishing career as a writer journalist and dramatist. His output was prodigious, numbering some 100 plays in addition to countless articles and columns published in mainstream publications such as The Times and Punch. One of his most famous play in America was "Our American Cousin" (1858) , which achieved great success in the 19th century. It remains famous as the play that was being performed in the presence of US President Abraham Lincoln when he was assassinated in 1865. The play "Plot and Passion" was first performed at London's Olympic Theatre in 1853. There was some later dispute between Taylor and the writer John Lang, as to whether Lang assisted in writing the play. Taylor dismissed those claims out of hand. Lang was the author of a story with a similar plot - "The Secret Police". The play is of a style known then as a 'detective play'. Set in Napoleonic France, it tells the story of 'Fouché', the head of the French Secret Service who uses a group of women, whom he refers to as his "Cytherean Court", to discover and trap the mysterious author of letters written against Fouché and Napoleon. For a collector of 19th century stage productions, this would be an excellent addition to a collection. This volume measures 7.5 inches by 9.5 inches and contains 184 numbered pages. It is 50% complete, as the text is written on one only side of each leaf. The book shows the wear and tear of time. Although present, the front cover is only loosely attached to the book while the back cover has separated. The binding is sewn and is in good condition. The pages are all intact and secured to the spine and in good condition. The handwriting is quite legible. ; Manuscripts; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 184 pages; KEYWORDS: HANDWRITTEN, MANUSCRIPT, DOCUMENT, LETTER, AUTOGRAPH, WRITER, HAND WRITTEN, DOCUMENTS, SIGNED, LETTERS, MANUSCRIPTS, HISTORICAL, HOLOGRAPH, WRITERS, AUTOGRAPHS, PERSONAL, MEMOIR, MEMORIAL, ANTIQUITÉ, CONTRAT, VÉLIN, DOCUMENT, MANUSCRIT, PAPIER ANTIKE, BRIEF, PERGAMENT, DOKUMENT, MANUSKRIPT, PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO, ATTO, VELINA, DOCUMENTO, MANOSCRITTO, CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD, HECHO, VITELA, DOCUMENTO, MANUSCRITO, PAPEL, Abraham Lincoln, Tom Taylor, American Theater, Theatre History, Our American Cousin, John Lang, British Theatre, Theatre History.

1930 + 1936 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT 'LEST WE FORGET' BRITISH EMPIRE SERVICE LEAGUE DIARIES [B.E.S.L.] BY PRESUMED BRITISH DIPLOMAT OR FOREIGN SERVICE WORKER
Published by
England, 1930
Used
Hardcover
Seller: Katz Fine Manuscripts Inc., Cochrane, AB, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Leather. Condition: Poor. On offer is an intriguing and rather enigmatic pair of handwritten manuscript diaries belonging to a British gentleman and written during 1930 and 1936. We believe after a casual study of the difficult cursive that our author is a British diplomat or Foreign Service worker using a British Empire Service League. Day to day activities, mention of family, staff, contacts and payments lead one to suspect well placed intelligent writer who makes extensive notations especially of current events and most especially in the event laden year of 1936 when England suffers the death of the King, the new King beset by controversy and finally abdicating and of course Italy's assault on Abyssinia, Hitler's rantings and much, much more. The patient reader/researcher interested in the time period from the perspective of an English diplomat should be well rewarded once the cursive is conquered. 9 x 5.5 inch books are in shabby condition, 1930 worse than 1936. Covers are shot but present, loose text block but still legible and complete. Seller Inventory # 0001097
