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.
