Add to basketAn interesting letter casting light on the Victorian provincial press. Scott's entry in the Oxford DNB states that, while he was living in Birmingham, 'H. J. Palmer offered him a staff appointment on the Birmingham Gazette; but he had to leave when he stipulated that, as a Liberal, he should write nothing in support of the Conse…rvative cause. He was working again as a freelance when, in 1887, he was invited by W. T. Stead to join him on the Pall Mall Gazette. He worked for six years on that paper under Stead and then Edward T. Cook.' 4pp, 12mo. On bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. The final page is smudged, including the signature, which clearly reads 'J. W. Robertson-Scott', with a hyphen. Begins: 'My dear Walters. / I heard a few days ago in a prominent B'ham politician's family that the Gazette was going into Radical hands! - of course the Rad. Unions was [mentioned?]. Are you able to put two and one together yet, to the manufacturing of an aquaferous (this word is original & patented) theory as to B[irmingha]. D[aily]. G[azette]. future? If you haven't, I have but a poor opinion of you.' He continues with reference to 'H. J. P.', i.e. H. J. Palmer (see above), The Times, plagiarism, Macaulay, Charles Blount, Milton's Areopagitica and the Biographia Britannica'. Postscript begins: 'The whole matter is pretty well settled if one knew whether H. J. P. was sacked or not.'.

Text (NOTE Holograph in brackets): "Althougfh, as you say, much water has passed down the Thames, yet I remember our meeting at Churt quite well. [I remember also the vigorous policy which you helped to form.] I do appreciate so much your wrods of encouragement. I need the…m in a job like this. | I am delighted to avail myself of your kind offer to send free copies of 'The Countryman'. Do you think we could have three? I feel your offer comes at an opportune moment as I am just have a new waiting room set upo to accommodate the increasing numberr of callers here. | [It is good of you to take the proper attitude from the Bench about Road accidents. Our trouble is that many magistrates impose frivolous sentences. | Do come to see me [signature] Yours is a grand paper.] Note: Apparently the first Belisha Beacon to be activated did so on 31 October 1934.
