William Woodall (1832-1901) Politician and Philanthropist, of Burslem, Stoke on Trent. A remarkable and extensive collection of letters written to him from around the 1860s to the end of the century, most pasted into ten old albums often accompanied by portrait photographs of the writers, with some loose letters in a small box. Woodall was chairman of the Burslem School Board 1870 to 1880 and the Wedgwood Institute, both bodies advancing the cause of technical education. He sat on royal commissions on technical education (1881-84) and the care of the blind and deaf mutes (1886-89). Woodall was MP for Stoke on Trent 1880-86, and was first representative for Hanley from 1885-1900. He supported home rule, and was chairman of the Central Committee for Women's Suffrage (established in 1872), and tried, unsuccessfully, to push through parliament an amendment which would allow married women to vote. In 1886 Gladstone appointed him Surveyor General of the Ordnance, and from 1892 to 1895 he was financial secretary to the War Office. Most of the letters are of a political nature (Liberal Cabinet and party members), including one from Gladstone proposing his appointment as Surveyor General of the Ordnance. Others cover his time as local MP, and in his official capacity at the Wedgwood Institute in Burslem, where he would invite speakers, often leading people of the day, for example Charles Dickens who politely declines 'to read' in a one page letter with his typical signature flourish. Three letters from William Morris on the other hand, confirm a more favourable response to an invitation by Woodall. The contemporary albums are in rather tired condition, some of covers are detached. Letters or notes in the first album include: W Gladstone, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman (2), J G Rogers, Sir John Hibbert, Arthur Peel, Lord Ripon, Lord Granville, etc. Album two: Sir Edward Grey, Robert Hanbury, Lord Dartmouth, George Duke of Cambridge, Lord Curzon, Sir Oliver Lodge, Shaw Lefevre, Richard Temple, Wilson Barrett (Savage Club), Herbert Beerbohm Tree, Gertrude Tennant, poem by Lady Currie (pen name 'Violet Fane'), Fridtjof Nansen signature, etc. Album three: Henry M Stanley photograph with signature below 1891, Harry Furniss, Elizabeth Lynn Linton, T P O'Connor, George Grossmith, Field Marshall Francis Grenfell, Nora Philipps, G Lawson, Richard Temple, George Russell, Princess Louise, Henry Broadhurst, the Bechuana Chiefs' signatures with press cutting (visiting Britain in 1895 to protest against the proposed annexation of their land), Henry Irving, William Martin Conway, Earl of Crewe, G A Henty, Sir Oliver Lodge, Earl of Clarendon, Emily Crawford, etc. Album four: Gladstone (3), Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, Sir William Harcourt, Sir Henry Roscoe, Stuart Rendel (several), etc. Album five: Arthur Peel, Lord Wolseley, Thomas Ellis, Ellen Terry, Arthur Collins, Field Marshall Evelyn Wood, Augustus Hare, Kate Greenaway, Philip Morris (artist), Lord Dartmouth, Rudyard Kipling (1890), Lord Crewe, Sir Charles Wyndham Murray, Haddon Chambers (playwright), Henry John Yeend King, Dinah Craik (author), Maud Beerbohm Tree, Sir Lewis Morris (poet), Dorothy Stanley, Campbell-Bannerman, Stanley Baldwin 1931 tls to Mr Howard Figgis, etc. Album six: Gladstone, Charles Dickens 1863, declining to read in Burslem, Garibaldi 1861 from Caprera, John Ruskin 1864 sending four of his works to the Wedgwood Institute library, Lord Granville, Thomas Carlyle 1869 blue pencil note '...the utility of your enterprise will depend mainly on yourÉ in selecting books, on your earnestly and religiously choosing books that are nourishment to the mind of a man, and vigourously rejecting what are poison (by far the more numerous class at present)'*, Samuel Smiles, John Bright, Henri d'Orleans Duc d'Aumale, William Macready (actor, x 2), Mrs Gladstone, The Duke of Devonshire, William Rathbone, John Stuart Mill, Lord Shrewsbury, John Lewis Ricardo MP 8pp als to MacIntyre (at Burslem), Lord Derby 1870, George Goschen, Sir Charles Dilke (2), Henry Stacy Marks (RA), G A Henty, William Fraser Rae, Sir Smith Child, Sir Rowland Hill (1869), etc. *Woodall actively sought books for the Institute Library, a wing of which he paid for.

A rare Great War M.C. group of four awarded to Lieutenant T. A. Edwards, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, Royal Naval Division - due to appalling casualties, he onetime commanded the Hawke Battalion as an Acting Lieutenant military Cross, G.V.R., unnamed as issued; British War and Victory Medals (Lieut. T. A. Edwards, R.N.V.R.); Defence Medal 1939-45, good very fine and better (4) £1800-2200 m.C. London Gazette 15 February 1919: ‘In the attack on Niergnies on 8 October 1918, he displayed great skill in handling his company in a difficult manoeurve. After the objective had been taken the enemy made a determined counter-attack, supported by tanks, on the troops on the company’s right flank, as a result of which the latter were compelled temporarily to withdraw. Personally leading the operation he quickly formed a defensive flank, and by his cool courage and good leadership not only were severe losses inflicted on the enemy but an important tactical position was maintained which materially assisted in the reforming of the line at a critical period.’ Thomas Arthur Edwards, a native of Herne Hill, London, was commissioned as a Temporary Sub. Lieutenant in August 1915 and first went to France in July 1916, where he joined Howe Battalion, Royal Naval Division. Over the ensuing year and a half he saw much action, not least on the Ancre, and, in February 1917, following an attack against enemy trenches on the ridge commanding Beaucourt, in which the Brigade sustained casualties of 24 officers and 647 ratings, he was appointed Adjutant of Hawke. having then got married while on leave in the U.K. that July, he returned to the Battalion as an Acting Lieutenant in the following month and was back in action at Passchendaele in November - he was appointed second-in-command on the 11th, saw further action at Welch Ridge and returned to the U.K. on leave over Christmas. he was, however, back in France by the time of the German Spring Offensive, again as second-in-command of Hawke, when the Battalion was forced to retreat from Bus to Barastre, and thence to High Wood and towards the Thirpval Plateau - and Edwards became C.O. when Commander B. H. Ellis, D.S.O., was mortally wounded on 26 February. Placed in command of ‘D’ Company when a new C.O. arrived in April, Edwards and his men remained actively employed in trenches opposite Hamel and on the Auchonvillers Ridge in May-July, and thence in the advance through Logeast Wood and Loupart Wood to the Bapaume Road - a group photograph of Hawke officers taken in June shows a haggard Lieutenant Edwards, who was sent home on a month’s special leave in August. once more rejoining his unit in the Field in September, Edwards won his M.C. for the above described deeds at Niergnies on 8 October - an engagement that made history, for the Germans made use of captured British tanks in their determined counter-attack. Notified of his award in Divisional Orders dated 18 December 1918, he ended his career as an Education Officer in the 63rd (R.N.) Division and was, appropriately enough, demobbed in March 1919 to pursue his civilian profession as a schoolmaster. £1800-£2200

A Victorian gold mounted agate presentation table snuff box of canted rectangular form with panels of agate forming hinged lid and base, the concave sides with reeded borders and chased foliate designs within C scroll panels, with scalloped thumb piece 7cm x 5.5cm x 2.5cm Notes: The lid rim with engraved presentation border 'PRESENTED BY COLONEL DUGLAD CAMPBELL R.A. TO ARTHUR CAMPBELL WRITER TO THE SIGNET 1848' The Presenter of the snuff box Dugald Campbell was born in Campbeltown, Argyllshire, on 3rd February 1781. He was the eldest son of Duncan Campbell (born c.1755) and his wife Anne (born c.1759). His parents both came from the town and had married in Campbeltown on 23rd February 1780. Dugald Campbell was baptized in Campbeltown on 13th February 1781. He enrolled as a gentleman cadet at the Royal Military Academy Woolwich at the age of 14 on 14th July 1795, Campbell was subsequently commissioned 2nd lieutenant in the Royal Artillery, at the age of 15 years and 10 months, on 6th December 1796. Promoted 1st lieutenant on 16th July 1799, he spent the period from July 1800 to May 1802 in Spain, Malta, Egypt and Italy. He served at Ferrol, in Spain, in 1800 and in Egypt in 1801, taking part in the actions there on 8th, 13th and 21st March during which he was wounded and for which service the Sultan of Turkey awarded him the small gold medal of the Imperial Ottoman Order of the Crescent. Promoted 2nd captain on 29th July 1804, he returned to the Mediterranean in May 1805 to serve in that theatre of operations until August 1812. He fought at the Battle of Maida in Calabria, southern Italy, on 4th July 1806 and then again in Egypt in 1807, where he participated in the bombardment of Rosetta. He was present on the expedition to Diamente in Calabria in 1808 and at the capture of the islands of Ischia and Procida in the Bay of Naples in 1809. He was promoted captain on 3rd August 1810. In April 1813 Campbell was posted to Jamaica where he remained until August 1815 and during which posting he probably met his future wife, Anne Mary Bernard, the widowed daughter of David Kerr of that island. In 1814, at the apparent ending of twenty years of war with France, he was rewarded for his services by being included in a general brevet promotion to the rank of major: this took place on 4th June that year. On 30th January 1816 he married Anne Mary Kerr, or Bernard, in Edinburgh. His final overseas postings were to the garrison of Gibraltar, where he was posted from July 1824 to May 1828 and from February 1829 to July 1832. Campbell was promoted lieutenant-colonel on 17th June 1828 and retired on full pay on 4th June 1836, being promoted to the rank of colonel on 23rd November 1841. On the institution of the Military General Service Medal 1793-1814 in 1848 Campbell was awarded this campaign medal with the single clasp for the battle of Maida. Had he survived a further year, he would have been awarded an additional clasp for the campaign in Egypt in 1801 but he died in Edinburgh on 14th July 1849. Since his marriage was childless, his estate, apart from a few specific bequests, reverted to his widow, who died in Edinburgh in 1855. Among the specific bequests in Colonel Campbell's Will were three snuff boxes which were bequeathed to three of the four trustees of his Will, his three brothers-in-law, Herbert Newton Jarrett Kerr (d. 1875), William Mitchell Kerr (d. 1862) and Donald Macmillan, who was married to Campbell's sister Anne. The fourth trustee of the Will was Arthur Campbell WS, who had prepared it in 1844 and who was also bequeathed 'the four oil paintings which at present hang in our dining room'. The recipient of the snuff box, Arthur Campbell was born on 15th July 1788, the 4th son of Arthur Campbell of Auchmannoch, Ayrshire (d. 1828) by his wife Burella Hunter, the second daughter of Robert Hunter, professor of Greek at Edinburgh University. Campbell was admitted to the Register of Writers to the Signet on 23rd November 1813 and apprenticed to John Hunter, who may have been a kinsman. On 31st August 1825, Arthur Campbell married Jane Barstow, the daughter of Thomas Barstow of Kelso and elder sister of the distinguished Edinburgh accountant Charles Murray Barstow (1804-85). Campbell purchased the 481-acre estate of Nether Catrine, Ayshire, in 1852, was a director of the British Linen Bank for more than thirty years and was also a Justice of the Peace for Edinburgh. He died in Edinburgh on 3rd March 1875. His son, Arthur (1827-84) and grandson, George (b. 1862) were also Writers to the Signet. The three snuffboxes specifically bequeathed in the Will of Colonel Dugald Campbell may be of relevance. The text of the Will in this regard reads as follows: "We request Mr Herbert N.J. Kerr's acceptance of the Mosaic Snuff Box which was given to Colonel Campbell by Mr Jarrett. Also we leave to Mr Donald Macmillan the Pebble Snuff Box mounted in silver which formerly belonged to the Macdonalds of Sanda…. We request Mr William M. Kerr's acceptance of Colonel Campbell's Silver Snuff Box left him by David Kerr his father." Although it is clear that the gold-mounted agate snuff box that is the subject of this report was not among those bequeathed in Colonel Campbell's Will, it is implicit that the bequeathing or giving of snuff boxes was an action of some significance and particularly in the case of snuff boxes with some historic importance for both giver and receiver. '…the Pebble Snuff Box mounted in silver which formerly belonged to the Macdonalds of Sanda…', for example, may commemorate the massacre of the Macdonalds of Sanda following the capture of the Castle of Dunaverty in Kintyre by troops loyal to the Campbell Duke of Argyll in 1647: it may even have been an item of booty removed from Dunaverty by a Campbell ancestor of Colonel Dugald Campbell. Since Arthur Campbell WS was Colonel Campbell's legal advisor and man of business, and of course also a distant kinsman, it seems most likely that Note: The box was a gift from the Colonel in the year prior to his death, to his legal advisor for some service rendered and also, perhaps, in order that all the Trustees of theColonel's Will should each have an appropriate snuff box by which to remember him.
