Banks, Sir Joseph (1743-1820), botanist and naturalist. Three page A.L.S., "My Dear Dr Like other persons who fancy they have much to do, as the Fly on the wheel fancies that it raises a great dust, I have not been able to Finish my letters for China & India till you had Finished all your preparations & Lord Cornwallis put in order all his Lordship's immense concerns, I am indeed ashamed of myself. With this you will receive the papers I mentioned to you, the two are copies of proceedings in the P. Council for Trade you will not therefore allow any improper use to be made of them, I mean in publication. Nothing in them has any view to secrecy indeed both were sent to the E. India Company & have most likely been forwarded to the Governor General for the time being. I cannot help hoping that the mention made of my countrymen the Hemp growers has procured them employment if not I commit their care to you & to old Ld. Cornwallis's friendship & Shall be under no small Obligations if you are So good as to put them into the way of becoming usefull to themselves & to their employers I have Troubled you with some letters too late for the Post. Excuse the liberty allow me to wish you & your noble Patrons all success that the sea and the Lord can afford you & I can not hope for your having more good fortune than the interesting & amiable undertaking which has ordered my old schoolfellow at this time of life to Abandon again his Family & his Comforts Clearly deserves of all things however I beseech Both of you to think of nothing with so much pleasure during the whole time of your Absence as the Return to your country & Friends who be Assured will look forward with a pleasing hope to that not far distant event. Believe me my dear sir with sincere esteem & regard you most faithful Hble Servt, J.

Rugby School. Hymns for the Use of Rugby School, Rugby, A. J. Lawrence, 1897, orig. purple roan, School arms in gilt on the upper cover, worn at the spine and edges, a.e.g., crown 8vo Arthur Ransome's Rugby Schoool hymnal, with the indelible stamp "RANSOME" on the title-page. Ransome was educated at the Old College, Windermere, where he was "extremely miserable", and then at Rugby School (1897-1901) where he was scarcely happier, being described as a "reluctant pupil". He was a poor sportsman, partly because of short sight, and was bullied and treated with contempt. In his Hymnal he has entered the dates when each hymn was used at assembly, during his time there. At a cursory glance "O God, our Help in Ages past" seems to be the winner, chalking up nine appearances. (1)

Hampson (John). Saturday Night at the Greyhound, Hogarth Press, 1931, O Providence, Hogarth Press, 1932, Strip Jack Naked, Heinemann, 1934, Family Curse, Chapman & Hall, 1936, Care Of 'The Grand', Chapman & Hall, 1939, the author's first five books, all 1st eds., all orig. cloth (Family Curse and Care of 'The Grand' in d.j.s and slipcase), 8vo, with others by Hampson, several inscribed by Hampson to H.A. Ovenden John Hampsen Simpson was born in Birmingham in 1901, the fifth of eight children. He was educated at home due to ill health and his lack of formal education left him with a lifelong sense of inferiority. During WWI he worked in a munitions factory but left in 1917 and took a variety of jobs, many of which would later be reflected in his fiction. In 1925 he was engaged by a well-to-do family living in Dorridge near Birmingham, to act as a nurse/companion to their Down's Syndrome son. Hampson's new found security and stability allowed him to begin writing and his first book, Saturday Night at the Greyhound was an immediate success. He made many literary friends including Forrest Reid, Graham Greene and W.H. Auden and became a leading figure in the Birminham group which included Walter Allen, Walter Brierley, Henry Green and Peter Chamberlain. Hampson died in hospital of a heart attack on 26th December 1955. (14)
