M. Broadley (bookplates); W. A. Foyle, Beeleigh Abbey (bookplates).An extraordinary example of book grangerisation by the notable exponent, Alexander Meyrick Broadley (1847-1916), also known as Broadley Pasha. Broadley was a British barrister, author, company promoter and social figure. He is best known for being the defence lawyer for Ahmed 'Urabi after the failure of the 'Urabi Revolt. Following a colourful life he spent his last fifteen years devoted to writing and book collecting. He made significant acquisitions of manuscript material, accumulating original letters and documents, some of which he relates in his book Chats on Autographs. His library included 135 works he had ‘grangerised’ by adding additional illustrations, which then amounted to about 600 volumes. While some of the autograph letters listed in the manuscript indexes at the front of each volume have since disappeared (notably Oscar Wilde and Hester Piozzi), the majority are still present and appear to have largely remained undisturbed in the Foyle Library for many decades.Among the more notable autographs present are:Daniel Auber (1782-1871), French composer and director of the Paris Conservatoire.

Since penning the foregoing, the Atlantic has come to hand with that most thoroughly and entirely satisfactory notice of Roughing It [published 1872], in it; and I am as uplifted and reassured by it as a mother who has given birth to a white baby when she was awfully afraid it was going to be a mulatto. — I have been afraid and shaky all along; but now, unless the N[ew] Y[ork] Tribune gives the book a black eye, I am all right.
