ARKWRIGHT (JOHN STANHOPE)The Supreme Sacrifice and Other Poems in Time of War, group of 9 copies, one inscribed by the author, 5 bound in limp roan or calf (varying colours), 4 in cloth (3 with dust-jackets), 4to, Skeffington & Son, 1919; Montezuma. The Newdigate Poem 1895, loose in publisher's printed wrappers (lettered 'Newdigate Prize Poem, 1895. Montezuma by J.S. Arkwright' on upper cover, slightly soiled), Oxford, B.H. Blackwell, 1895; [Calligraphic manuscript] 'Presentation of a pianoforte to Mr. John Stanhope Arkwright, M.P. by the Citizens of Hereford on the Occasion of his Marriage December 21st. 1905', on vellum, comprising 6-page 'List of subscribers' with heading and borders in gilt, stitched into pigskin-covered bevelled boards, with gilt decoration and arms on upper cover, soiled, small 4to, 1905; 'Address Presented to John Hungerford Arkwright... on the Birth of His Son and Heir John Stanhope Arkwright, 17th September 1872'), illuminated address leaf, one page, in original silk-lined padded roan case, titled in gilt on lid, 1872; together with some related ephemera including a manuscript score of 'O Valiant Hearts' (small quantity)Footnotes:John Stanhope Arkwright (1872-1954, known to the family as 'Jack') inherited Hampton Court estate from his father in 1905. By then the estate was encumbered with mortgages, but once he had cleared those and settled death duties, he put the estate up for sale and moved to Kinsham Court. Jack was educated at Eton, where he published short verses in the college magazine, and thereafter at Christ Church, Oxford, where, in 1895, he was awarded the Newdigate Prize for poetry for his epic 'Montezuma'. (His own verdict, confided to his mother, was 'not at all satisfied with it & am doubtful about sending it in. I think it is just above the average of a bad year.') He published a volume of poetry The Last Muster (1901) in response to the Boer War which drew a favourable response from Rudyard Kipling. However, it is for his Great War hymn, 'O Valiant Hearts' first sung on 5th August 1917 at Westminster Abbey to mark the anniversary of the outbreak of war, that he is best remembered. His words were sung at the burial of the Unknown Soldier, at the dedication of the burial flag of Ypres, and at the consecration of the Houses of Parliament and Menin Gate war memorials. They were also recited by the Premier of Canada over the transatlantic telephone at the unveiling of the Canadian memorial at Vimy Ridge. The tune is still played annually at the Cenotaph in London at the Remembrance Sunday service. He was described as the 'inspired interpreter of the nation's deep and inmost feelings'. He was knighted in the 1934 New Year's honours list.

Copies are held in the archives of the Red Cross, The Imperial War Museum and the Hoover Institution, none of them identifying J.S.A. as Arkwright.Sir John Arkwright (1872-1954) was a Conservative politician and M.P. for Hereford, but he is perhaps best remembered for supplying the words to 'O Valiant Hearts', a hymn remembering the fallen of the First World War which often features prominently in annual Remembrance Day services. It was first published under the title 'The Supreme Sacrifice' in Arkwright's The Supreme Sacrifice, and other Poems in Time of War (see Lot 121), several family copies of which are included in the sale.

When John was small the Arkwrights had lived at Stoke Hall which is within five miles of Chatsworth, Derbyshire, where Paxton was later Head Gardener. John's sister-in-law was a favourite of the 'Bachelor' Duke of Devonshire, and John frequently visited family in Derbyshire. John was keenly interest in horticulture, so it was entirely natural, when John wanted a new Conservatory at Hampton Court Castle, to call in Paxton who was permitted by the Duke to undertake commissions of this kind. Paxton visited Hampton Court in January 1845, when he enjoyed a day's duck shooting. He thereafter forwarded plans, to which amendments were made. The ridge and furrow roof was completed in September 1846. These volumes are therefore highly likely to have moved with Jack Arkwright from Hampton Court to Kinsham Court.With thanks to Catherine Beale for her historical guidance and research with this lot.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
