Nine Christmass cards signed 'Philip' to Revd and Mrs Taylor, and one signed 'Elizabeth' as well, with photographs of the Royal Family laid down inside, in original envelopes, 1950-66. The card for 1951 dates from just before the death of George VI (and bears a GR stamp in the lower corner of the envelope), making it noteworthy as 1951 is the only one to bear Elizabeth's signature - making it the last run of Christmass cards signed whilst Princess. The cards after this date all bear Buckingham Palace registered stamps.

Catherine of Wickham [Catherine Gladstone Stewart] Two unpublished manuscript fairy tales. The Fairy Tale of the Ugly King, 1863, pp. 225 and Princess Liliola, 1865, pp. 403. 8vo, similarly bound in panelled calf, blind roll-tooled board edges, red edges, marbled endpapers. From the nineteenth-century school of such tales, replete with fey knights, glittering Courts and a very clean faux-medieval chivalry. The Ugly King bears a dedication to 'My dear sister'. A brief pencil note at the front of the volumes records that the author died of cholera in Italy in 1869. The names of characters certainly bear a Continental style ('Fidelio' and 'King Benvenuto I') though this may simply be the Victorian style of setting strange tales in semi-fictionalised European settings.. Bindings scuffed and bumped but tight, internally generally clean.

Heathfield, Richard Elements of a Plan for the Liquidation of the Public Debt bound with Further Observations on the Practicability and Expediency of Liquidation the Public Debt and with Addenda to Mr Heathfield's Second Publication on the Liquidation of the Public Debt and with Observations on Trade considered in reference, particularly, to the Public Debt and with Thoughts on the Liquidation of The Public Debt and Observations occasioned by The Motion in the House of Commons on the 26th March, 1833 and with a Speech on the State of Nations delivered...On the Third Reading of the Reform Bill and Argument for the General Relief of the Country from Taxation, and eventually from The Corn Laws and finally On the Cultivation of the Soil of India with Reference to the African Slave Trade (lacking title, unknown author. Various publishers, 1820-39. 8vo, full calf. A collection of 19th century pamphlets attacking the protectionist policies of the landed government of the time with relation to the national debt. Pitt had repealed income tax in 1816, forcing indirect taxes to bear the burden. This had a disproportionate effect on the poorer classes, who paid to service the debts to the rich owing from government securities (the rich who did not have to pay income tax on the earnings now). Elections still suffered from corruption and outdated boundaries and heavily favoured the landed gentry. Bad harvests in the following years continued to depress wages and increase unemployment, causing further unrest. The actions of a reactionary government did not help. The antipathy towards organised police forced the use of the military (with concomitant incease in violence) and laws continued to repress Reformist organisations. The Corn Laws and Game Laws were just another example of the deliberate skewing of political gain to the same few people. These pamphlets attack this disparity, pushing to put the onus for the debt on property not labour; to repeal the protectionist laws crushing industry and spiking prices; and for a general reform of the system.. Binding worn, lacking spine, upper joint cracked and board only loosely attached, otherwise mainly clean internally with tight text block.
Lot 141
Daniell, William (illus); Caunter, Revd John Hobart (text) The Oriental Annual, or Scenes in India. Various published, 1834-8. 8vo (5 vols). Org. decorative cloth, a.e.g.; frontis in all, additional eng. titles in all, 105 eng. plates after Daniell across the 5 vols (as called for). A vividly illustrated and frequently exciting mix of history and travelogue. Tales of bear attacks, dramatic performances of juggles and conjurers and torrent crossings in Bootan [Bhutan] mix with the history of Moghul Emperors and the architecture of Benares. The immediacy and emotion of the work are the product of the personal experience of both the author and the engraver. Caunter had been a cadet in India before taking up the cloth, whilst Daniell travelled extensively whilst apprenticed to his uncle, Thomas Daniell. Part of Caunter's aim was to bring to the fore the 'Mohammedean history' of India, less well known to the general reader, especially in the time before the Partition created a separate Islamic nation.
