V Levison no.62, consisting of two cast iron sides, wooden seat and back bearing name label (name worn)From the vendor: While relocating my barber shop, I was looking to replace my waiting chairs with old style folding ones. Browsing online for cinema chairs I came across a local antiques shop selling some rusty and tatty chairs with a laminate plastic cover. I went to view them and was told that they were found in an old storage unit in a service pit used for servicing automobiles. They looked like they would clean up well, so I took up the challenge and bought a few. Stripping the plastic off uncovered lovely wooden seats and backs, on these backs were names. Until this point, I had not noticed the LUFC engravings on the cast iron bases due to the rust. Some of the chairs had names and one said Visiting Director. I protected these with masking tape. Manager Don Revies name was revealed to me while removing tape from a chair, accidentally pulling off another name. Since being restored by myself they have featured in an Antiques Roadshow episode, radio and newspaper articles.

Leigh (Augusta, née Byron, 1783-1851).

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.
