Tosti (Francesco Paolo, 1846-1916). Italian composer. Autograph manuscript signed twice, ‘F.

This manuscript was found amongst the music of Princess Victoria (1865-1935), fourth child and second daughter of King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra.It is logical to assume that Tosti arranged Suzon for solo piano for Princess Victoria to play (where the vocal line is not doubled in the piano part, Tosti has included those notes in his piano arrangement which suggests it is not an alternative accompaniment). However, as Tosti taught singing to some of the royal children it is also possible that he adapted it for himself to play whilst accompanying one of them.

Walsingham (Thomas, 1561-1630). Courtier to Queen Elizabeth I and literary patron to Christopher Marlowe. An extremely rare autograph signature, ‘Tho: Walsingham’, at the foot of an Autograph Letter by Sir John Scott, Kent, 28 July 1608, being a Kentish Muster addressed to Sir William Twysden (1566-1639), requiring Twysden to have his company in full effect, that it '…may be fitt to appeare before the muster maister at Cockesheath, uppon the fivetenth day of October, by eight of the clock in the morning…', the text almost certainly in the hand of Sir John Scott, signed by Scott, Walsingham and John Levyt, some spotting and dust-soiling, small seal tear to lower blank not affecting text, 1 page with integral address panel and remnant of a small seal, folio, laid open and flat on card with printed caption at foot, overall 305 x 400 mm, framed and glazedQty: (1)Footnote: Sir Thomas Walsingham is best remembered as being the literary patron to Christopher Marlowe. He was related to Elizabeth's spymaster Sir Francis Walsingham (first cousin once removed) and was the employer of Marlowe's murderer Ingram Frizer. This connection is one of the reasons offered for suggesting that Marlowe's death may have been linked with intelligence work and not a dispute over a bill for food and accommodation, as in the coroner's verdict.The first poet to seek Walsingham's patronage was Thomas Watson, an old acquaintance from the time when both men had been engaged on Sir Francis Walsingham’s secret business in France. His timely dedication to Thomas Walsingham, newly come into money through his inheritance, prefaced A Lament for Meliboeus, an elegy on the death of Sir Francis. Watson's venture was based on the family relationship between the dedicatee and the dead statesman, but Thomas Walsingham proved to be a genuine patron of literary endeavour and other poets followed the example. It is probable that Watson introduced Marlowe, a friend from the London literary circle, (with whom he was arrested for brawling in September 1589), to Thomas Walsingham; although their paths may have crossed earlier, during Marlowe's own service to the late Sir Francis. Walsingham appreciated the dedication, and the introduction, with Marlowe becoming a frequent house-guest at Walsingham's home in Scadbury, Chislehurst, Kent. It has been further suggested that there may have been intimacy between the two men. Walsingham was a mourner at Marlowe's funeral.Sir John Scott (c.1564-1616) of Scot's Hall and of Nettlestead Place in Kent, was an English soldier, Member of Parliament and an early investor in the Colony of Virginia. In 1601, Scott was implicated in The Earl of Essex's Rebellion but succeeded in clearing himself and in the same year was a parliamentary candidate for Kent. He was unsuccessful on this first attempt, but was elected its MP in the Parliament of 1604 and for Maidstone in the Addled Parliament of 1614. He became a member of the Council for Virginia in 1607, the year when that colony was re-established and was a councillor of the Virginia Company of London in 1609. He died in 1616 and was buried at Brabourne in Kent.

Leigh (Augusta, née Byron, 1783-1851). Autograph commonplace book, 1802-1821, manuscript in brown ink on laid paper, 101 unnumbered leaves, the initial leaf signed 'Augusta Byron, May 13th 1802' in Augusta Leigh's hand, the remaining 100 unnumbered leaves with Leigh's autograph transcripts of poems and other writings rectos and versos, folio 2 verso signed 'Brighthelmstone' (i.e. Brighton), folio 3 recto signed 'June 14th 1802, Bn', folio 97 verso signed 'Stanmer, Oct 27, 1821' (see note), 53 blanks, 21 leaves to rear containing manuscript transcriptions of French poetry written upside-down in a later hand, all edges gilt, contemporary green morocco gilt, spine rubbed and worn, small chip at foot, lower outer corner of front board worn, a few marks, 4to (20.5 x 15.5 cm)Qty: (1)Footnote: Provenance: pencil inscription to front free endpaper, 'From the sale by Messrs Christie, June 6. 1939, in lot 3, at 5 Carlton House Terrace, S.W.1, The Earl of Caledon's house'.Autograph commonplace book kept by Augusta Leigh (1783-1851), half-sister and alleged lover of Lord Byron, containing transcripts of hundreds of poems, extracts from novels and sermons, and other writings. Augusta appears to have started the book in 1802, a few months after the death of her grandmother Lady Holdernesse in 1801, 'the end of the only period of real security that Augusta would ever know' (Bakewell & Bakewell, Augusta Leigh, p. 49), and to have continued it until the autumn of 1821, when she visited her sister Mary, Countess of Chichester, at Stanmer Park (op. cit., p. 273). Lord Byron started a correspondence with Augusta in 1804, while he was still a student at Harrow. Contact dwindled after Augusta's marriage to Colonel George Leigh in 1807 but the pair rediscovered each other in 1813 and became intimate friends. Augusta copies poems by well-known figures such as Thomas Moore, Sir Brooke Boothby and Edward Young, as well as several women poets including Jane Bowdler, Charlotte Richardson Smith and Mary Julia Young. There are also frequent quotations from two novels: Ann Radcliffe's Mysteries of Udolpho and Madame de Genlis's Les Mères Rivales. In many cases Augusta appears to have had a personal connection with the author, such as her relative Isabella Howard, Countess of Carlisle, whose Thoughts in the Forms of Maxims Addressed to Young Ladies she reproduces at length; Isabella was a daughter of the fourth Baron Byron, and Augusta lived for a time at the Carlisles' seat as a guest of Isabella's son Frederick (1748-1825), the fifth earl. When Augusta records extracts from longer works these are often the same sections found in contemporary magazines and anthologies, in particular Vicesimus Knox's extremely popular Elegant Extracts, first published in 1783: there is a perceptible bias in Augusta's collection to 18th-century authors.
