An approving testimonial: 'The Revd. Robert Hutchison, who is a candidate for the Head mastership of Bath College, was my pupil during his residence as an Undergraduate at Exeter Col…lege Oxford, and I have much pleasure in certifying to the high charater he bore for industry and good behaviour during that period. He was Scholar of the College, and his scholarship was good and sound, as he proved by getting a First Class in Moderations. As I was one of the examiners on that occasion, I can add that his position in that class was decidedly a good one.'.

In den WarenkorbSee the entries for Baines and Reynolds in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Addressed to 'The Rev. H. R. Reynolds, D.D.', and signed 'Edw. Baines.' The letter dates from between 1861, when Lord John Russell was created Earl Russell, and his death in 1878. Begins: 'My very dear Friend, / I… have just been shaking hands with Earl Russell. I was standing with the mob of M. P.s at the bar of the House of Lords, when he recognised me, and shook hands as he passed out, saying, "I am very glad to see you."' Baines was 'so surprised' that he 'could only tell him how glad I was to see that he was well enough to have returned to his duties'. He informs Reynolds that 'before going to Pembroke Lodge' he may 'inquire [sic] if he is in town - at 37, Chesham Place', explaining that he does not 'know how to obtain the information' before writing to Reynolds, 'or I would do it for you'.

Text pages are clean and very slightly age toned with only occasional foxing except at prelims.**The REVEREND WILLIAM ELLIS (1794-1872) was a significant British non-conformist missionary who, while newly married, first traveled to the South Sea Georgiana and Society Islands in 1816 under the aegis of the London Missionary Society, and would later serve in higher office in that organization, as agent and then foreign secretary. As a young man, however, Ellis overcame the poverty of a relatively modest background, as a Norfolk gardener and candlewick maker, to read and dream about Cook's voyages and Keate's "fascinating but to a great extent ficticious" (J. Emieo Ellis, p. xvii) account of shipwreck of the "Antelope" upon the Pelew Islands. His youthful travels on this first voyage, then, revealed keen descriptive powers of his own. This non-fiction title, first appearing in 1829, and later expanded into a popular 4-volume edition reprinted by various publishers through the mid 1850's, was an influential descriptive resource later used as background by a number of nineteenth century "South Sea" novelists, said to include Herman Melville, Robert Louis Stevenson, Joseph Conrad and Jack London. His ethnological observations of Tahiti, where he was stationed from 1817-1822, recount relations with the first (converted) King of the Tahitans, Pomares II, governmental and social customs, developing laws, and Pomare's embrace of literacy. Ellis returned to England in 1825; he spent another fruitful period in Madagascar during the 1850's which he also wrote about. Various other topics include: slave economy of Brazil under the Spanish and English mercantile activity; misadventures of travel amidst convicts on way to New Zealand; perils of early missions among the Polynesians; details of the succession of Pomare's son in 1822.
