Album of Important Autograph Letters. Folio, cont. half brown morocco gilt (lower cover soiled, upper joint cracked). Including: Darwin, Charles. ALS to Mr. Murray [John Murray, publisher]. Down, June 11th 1880. 2 & a half pp., concerning Mr. Charles of the City of London School asking permission to quote extracts "from my Naturalist's Voyage" in his Model Reading Book. He lists the three passages and "I should very much like to grant permission & feel proud that any passage in any book of mine be used for educational purposes; but I cannot of course grant permission without your consent, as the book is your property."(conjoined second leaf pasted down) Dodgson, Rev. Charles Lutwidge, 'Lewis Carroll'. ALS, 2 & a half pp. The Chestnuts, Guildford, Dec. 29/79. "My dear Edith, I wrote to that hardened malefactor, Agnes, on the 22nd., telling her 4 of us would come, and that she was to let you know how many tickets would be wanted. I find it difficult to describe, in ordinary English, the infamy of her conduct: so will not dwell on it - 3 of them are coming, so we shall be 7 in all: please get the seats you think best… and please send all the tickets to Mrs. Hull - then, if anything should prevent our coming, they could utilise the whole lot." He declines an invitation to tea, "…though tea might content our little friends, "this child" would need a more solid meal!" (conjoined second leaf pasted down) It is difficult to know which Edith Dodgson is addressing. Edith Liddell, sister of Alice died in 1876; Edith Blakemore, who he met whilst on annual holiday at Eastbourne in 1877 would have been only five in 1879. Agnes and Jessie Hull, together with their sisters Alice and Evie formed part of Dodgson's circle of child-friends, and were photographed for his collection. Dickens, Charles. ALS to Lord Denman, Devonshire Terrace, Tuesday Fourteenth May 1844. One page.

"I heard yesterday that you had bought "Victory, O Lord". I feel extremely flattered that you shd. possess it, and can assure you that I know it to be one of my best works…Some day I am pretty certain it will be worth double the sum paid for it." (conjoined second leaf pasted down) This work is now in the collection of the Corporation of Manchester. Bird, Isabella L. ALS to Mr. Murray, 33 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh, July 3rd. n.y. 2 and a half pp. "I am sorry to be obliged to write that it is impossible for me to complete the concluding chapter of Japan before I leave on the 18th…I hope you will allow me this…latitude. I have now decided on going to Switzerland by Harwich and Rotterdam in order to avoid Paris…I am so altogether broken down and useless that I shrink from seeing any of my friends till time has brought some little healing and the power of taking up the interests of life again." (conjoined second leaf pasted down) Unbeaten Tracks in Japan was published in 1880. Schliemann, Dr. Heinrich. ALS to Mr. Murray, Athens 3l Jany. 1880. One page.
