No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Single sheet of vellum. 23 x 28 inches. Creased at folds. Outer cover when folded is soiled. 15- and 2-Shilling revenue stamps, 1854 and 1870 respectively. Lined in red with some finger soiling and spots of foxing. Very good. A detailed lease document describes every aspect of the premises, including doorknobs, windows, fireplace and even the chain for the water closet. James Esdaile died in 1864 and in his will left the building to his executors, Edward Esdaile (1810-1889) and Walter Charles Venning (1806-1897), who created a new lease after the death of Jane Scarlett Jackson, renting it to Morris Hart in 1870. Edward Esdaile and Walter Venning were brothers in law, after Venning married Anne Esdaile. Edward Esdaile was a second cousin of Edward Jeffries Esdaile, who was married to Percy Shelley's daughter, Eliza. Signed by Author(s).
