Chester - Baillie Family. An autobiographical account of the childhood in Chester of Charles Henry Kingsley-Baillie up until his father's death in 1897, typewritten, 1946-47, a notebook of 55 numbered pages, typed to rectos only, with 11 additional watercolour pages of local characters and scenes, some manuscript corrections, foreword signed by the author, the pages contained in a contemporary small ring binder (hinges somewhat rusted), contemporary cloth, rubbed and slightly damp marked, 8vo, preserved in a contemporary card box with watercolour monogram IC [the author's sister Ivy Clifford] to upper cover, narrow 8vo An interesting series of reminiscences by the son of Edmund John Baillie, a successful nurseryman centring on the three Chester houses the family lived in, all named 'Woodbine'. The author remembers local characters, scenes and events as his family grew ever larger. His 'father interested himself in several societies - the Chester Society of Natural Science, the Kingsley Memorial Society, the Ruskin Society, the Archaeological Society of Chester, and several others. He was most active in promoting the erection of the Grosvenor Museum in Chester, which was made possible by the generosity of the Duke of Westminster, who donated the building site, and started the fund with a cheque for £10,000'. He also remembers an original watercolour by Ruskin given to his father by the artist which hung above his mother's desk, as well as other pictures and letters of Ruskin and 'an immense brown and white decorative panel by Walter Crane'. Among the other works owned was an immense picture by Dame Clara Knight and one of a Pomeranian dog 'by an artist friend of father's - Arthur Boddington - a very strange man - and a confirmed agnostic. The picture was given to my mother by Boddington as a peace offering, after she and Arthur became involved in a heated argument over religion, (in which Boddington lost out), and mother ordered him to leave the house'. He remembers visits by Sir George Adam Smith, Walter Crane, Hugh Nisbet and Ira D. Sankey. He also describes a violent thrashing given him by his headmaster, and the ensuing showdown between his father and the headmaster and being pulled out of the school. Other family friends remembered include Dr Jaeger and Sir Isaac and Lady Pitman. The account ends with the death of his father who had been suffering from diabetes, 'and I often wonder if he would have lived longer, if he had engaged a physician other than Dr Haynes Thomas, who was a homeopathist'.
