2pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. On lightly aged and ruckled paper, with slight damage at head of gutter. The letter would appear to concern a contribution intended for 'The Juvenile Forget Me Not', the annual Mrs S. C. Hall began editing in the late 1820s. begins: 'My dear Mrs. Hall | I sent you the story or rather the bit of a story you have - because you asked for it. Therefore if you like it, the pay is not to be considered - But at the same time if you dont like it, pray dont think of using it out of courtesy. I am not vain, and will not be at all affronted if such should be the case - especially as I am so deeply engaged at present with graver work that I find it difficult to subtract some thoughts for lighter matter.' She concludes by stating that she is sorry Mrs Hall cannot help her 'poor protégé'. After noting S. C. Hall's 'kind reception of my young relation', a long postscript returns to the story, asking her, if she does publish it, to get the publisher to 'send the magazine for the three months I shall be here. [.] I want to have postage stamps to the office for it - but I am in a place so primitive [i.e. Rosneath] that the obtaining of postage stamps is a matter requiring forethought.'.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität Signiert
Printed in lilac on one side of a 12 x 8,5 cm piece of thin card, with serated edges and rounded corners, and with glue staining to one edge and on blank reverse. The card is embossed with tiny stars, with decorative edges and the text enclosed within an oval border, with the autograph signatures above one another in a rectangular box beneath it. The twelve-line poem (signed in type 'S. C. HALL.') might be viewed as an example of Victorian sentimentality, but one should bear in mind the childless couple and Mrs Hall's failed pregnancies, the fact that her mother lived with them throughout their marriage, and their great benevolence. The poem begins: 'Yes! we go gently down the hill of life, | And thank our God at every step we go: | The husband-lover and the sweetheart-wife. | Of creeping age what do we care or know?' Concludes: 'These fading faculties are sent to say | Heaven is more near to-day than yesterday.' The poem was published in 1878 in the Literary World.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
3pp, 18mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on lightly aged paper, with the reverse of the second leaf laid down on part of a leaf from an autograph album, which carries a biographical caption in a contemporary hand. Mrs Carter Hall's connection with the St James's Gazette is unclear, but she has evidently asked Hunt to contribute to the magazine. Hunt begins his reply: 'Dear Mrs Hall | there is no scarcity of subjects - my difficulty is to select the subject which I can deal with in a satisfactory manner & which shall be, at once, instructive & entertaining.' He proceeds to give a short summary of how he would treat two subjects 'upon which I could write fairly well', 'The Balance of Nature' and 'Light and Life'. After the second he writes: 'A third subject strikes me. Just now the Scientific World are excited by the Discoveries made by Kirkhoff & Bunsen as to the Composition of the Sun. I could give you a readable paper containing all the new facts - which we might call | The Composition of the Sun | or | The Sun and the Earth'. He concludes by stating that he is 'really desirous of aiding you - to the best of my powers. I regard the St James's with feelings of affection - I find it everywhere'.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd edn. ~Original half red morocco, marbled paper to boards. Raised bands, blind and gilt decor, and gilt lettering to spines. All edges marbled. Large 8vos (18 x 25.5cm). A little rubbing to boards and board edges. Spines slightly faded. Marbled endpapers. Front endpaper of vol. I cracked at gutter; rear endpapers of vols I & II just starting. Crack to text block of vol. III after frontis, but binding sound. Engraved title page per vol., frontis to vols I & III; no frontis to vol. II, as called for. 2nd edition of vol. I with new preface to vol. I by the authors, recording their gratitude at the success of the first edition: 'its sale has far exceeded our most sanguine hopes' (p. vii); other vols are 1st edn. Profusely illustrated with striking full page steel engraved plates, in text illustrations, and maps. All artists and engravers are identified in list of illustrators. Moderate scattered foxing throughout. Samuel Carter Hall (1800-1889), English journal editor and writer, grew up largely in Ireland and on moving to London became a fixture on the literary scene, struggling as a jobbing author and editor before reaching some stability in 1838 as editor of Landseer's 'The Art-Union' journal, later 'The Art Journal' and 'the pioneer of fine-art journalism in Britain' (ODNB): the 1840s were to be Carter Hall's heyday and 'Ireland: Its Scenery, Character, &c.' one of his most successful productions, 'well-illustrated' as might be expected from a now-established art critic and journalist, and receiving 'a good reception as a mixed travelogue and social commentary' (ODNB). Hall's collaborator on this and many other works was his wife Anna Maria Hall (nee Fielding), born in Dublin and equally prolific as a writer in 'all the popular genres of the booming early Victorian publishing industry historical, touristic, domestic, moral, melodramatic' but whose most 'popular and significant works were Irish in subject matter' (ODNB). The Halls produced a constant stream of popular writing - '(b)y the end of their career, Carter Hall estimated that between them they had produced 545 books' - but 'Ireland' stands as arguably their most characteristic and successful productions. A handsome set. ~Robust packaging. Overseas orders trackable on request. Size: xii, 435 + viii, 468 + viii, 512pp. Binding sound, text unmarked.

Memories from home for the last Russian empress --- With British and Russian imperial provenance: Alexandra Fedorovna's copy, bound in full red morocco signed. With subsequent artistic provenance. The daughter of Grand Duke of Hesse Louis IV and his first wife, Princess Alice of the United Kingdom, the Princess Alix of Hesse-Darmstadt, later Alexandra Fedorovna of Russia (1872-1918), was thought to be a favourite granddaughter of Queen Victoria who took a direct role in her and her siblings' upbringing after the death of Princess Alice in 1878. Alix spent a lot of her childhood in England until her marriage to Tsar Nicholas II in 1894, "a match that didn't overly thrill Queen Victoria but which she bore with relative equanimity" (Clegg). Both Alexandra and Nicholas were executed by the Bolsheviks during the Revolution. This copy was bound in England by R. Ingalton Drake, a binder active in Eton in the 1870s up to the late 1890s and whose luxury bindings are widely present in the royal collection of Queen Victoria (now Royal Collection Trust). It could be therefore that the royal bride already had this volume in Britain before bringing it to Russia, or that she received it for her wedding. The Tsarina's bookplate was designed only in 1914 by Arminii Folkerzam, an important art historian and curator of the Treasure Gallery of the Imperial Hermitage. The book later passed to Canadian pianist Ellen Ballon (1898-1969), and then was purchased in 1937 from Hammer Galleries in New York by Sarah Tack Ryan, who gave it as a birthday gift to her daughter Sally Ryan (1916-68), a celebrated American artist and sculptor. This comprehensive and engaging study, boasting almost 300 illustrations, details the course and the history of the Thames from Gloucestershire to the North Sea, and the many towns, villages, settlements, flora, fauna, bridges, views, and ships along its banks, as well as histories of the Globe Theatre, Old London Bridge, and Hampton Court. It was composed jointly by Samuel Carter Hall (1800-89), a journalist who gained prominence as an editor of 'The Art Journal', and his wife Anna Maria Fielding (1800-81), a novelist, renowned for her works on Irish life. Provenance: Empress Aleksandra Fedorovna Romanova (bookplate on upper endpaper); Ellen Ballon; Sarah Tack Ryan (original bill of sale from Hammer Galleries [signed by Miss Sally Ryan]); Sally Ryan (birthday gift note dated Nov 5, 1939 inserted in the book). Physical description:Large 8vo (23 x 17 cm). XII incl. half-title and title, 460 pp. incl. numerous in-text engravings throughout. Contemporary full red morocco by R. Ingalton Drake, spine with raised bands, blind stamped fillets, gilt lettering, frames with triple blind stamped fillets on boards and turn-ins, gilt edges, yellow endpapers. Condition:Spine slightly sunned, light staining and soiling on boards; very light soiling on endpapers, light marginal creases and soiling on half-title, all pages very fresh.
