An interesting letter, indicating the piety underlining Shaftesbury s philanthropy. See his long entry in the Oxford DNB, which sums up his achievements as very substantial and a source of enduring inspiration to others , together with those of Russell and Skinner, the last of which contains, regarding the part of the Drummondite controversy relating to the Rev. Sir William Dunbar (d.1881): In [1843] a serious controversy had sprung out of the refusal of Sir William Dunbar, minister of St Paul's Chapel, Aberdeen, to receive or to administer the sacrament in accordance with the Scottish ritual. Acting with the concurrence of his synod, Skinner excommunicated Dunbar on 13 August 1843. The present item is 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, with negligible remnants of windowpane mount adhering at edges. Good bold signature Shaftesbury , and headed Private . Addressed to The Lord Russell | M. P. , with salutation to My dear Russell . Shaftesbury s elongated handwriting is not entirely legible, but the letter appears to read: You have now an opportunity of showing both mercy & justice to a very deserving man, the Revd Sir William Dunbar, who was so grossly treated by that saint of the "old Scotch Prelacy", Bishop Skinner. / His inheritance was left in anger (but [thro mistake?]) to pay off the national debt!! My belief is that the first national debt due, is, as the Publick friend says, "to do justice & to love mercy" - . The postcript reads: The Archbishop of Canterbury strongly approves the [publication?] of the Memorial .

3pp., 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. With a couple of minor emendations. At top left of first page Elliot has written 'Copy'. Docketed on reverse of second leaf: 'Austrian Emigration'. Begins: 'In the Austrian Code (Decree of 1832) Emigration is treated of under a distinct head. | Every Austrian Subject removing to a foreign state or remaining abroad sine animo revertendi, as the Scotch wd. express it, is held to be an Emigrant.' Most of the third page is taken up with a precis of two points 'From Proclamation of Feb. 1851', following which the document ends: 'The above is not applicable to certain individuals excluded by name from the amnesty.' The document may date from Russell's second and last time as Foreign Secretary, 1859-1865, around which time the Emperor of Austria issued a proclamation granting an amnesty to emigrants from Venetia. From the Elliot papers.

Sm.8vo, pp[2] half-title + [2] title + 87, couple of neat booklabels on endpaper, an excellent copy. ** Rare novel : suppressed by the author. *** Early novel by the youthful Lord John Russell, later grandfather to the philosopher Bertrand Russell. *** A radical liberal, Lord John Russell twice headed the British government as a major reforming Prime Minister. In his youth he had several times visited Portugal, where he met Wellington; and had also travelled to Elba to meet Napoleon. *** In this late-Gothic romantic novella Edward Pembroke, a young English officer serving in the Peninsular War, is wounded while heroically rescuing the nuns of a Portuguese convent from the inevitable depredations of a French squadron. He is nursed to health by one of the nuns, Catherine. They fall passionately in love : she determines to forsake her orders : divine punishment is, naturally enough, meted out when she rapidly succumbs to consumption. *** According to Summers : Gothic Bibliography : 'Very shortly after publication, the author determinedly suppressed the book, buying up every copy at whatsoever price and destroying it'. See also Wolff 6000a. Block : English Novel. No copy listed in Cambridge University Library, Bodleian Library, or the National Union Catalogue. Not listed in The Sandler Collection. *** *** Endpaper with 19thC bookplate of Richard Cutting of 7 St George's Square, N.W., book No.1005; and also a 20thC booklabel in the Cambridge calligraphic style of Will Carter/Reynolds Stone/David Kindersley. ***** To confirm availability before ordering, please click the link Ask Bookseller A Question.
A contemporary collection of 8 complete and 10 incomplete publications on the Popish Plot and other English trials at the end of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th century. Bound in a contemporary full leather binding. Binding with some traces of wear but the whole in relatively good order. We only list the complete items in the collection. [1] An impatial state of the case of the Earl of Danby. London 1679. Complete. ESTC R205902. [2] The information of Stephen Dugdale, Gent. delivered at the Bar of the House of Commons.London, 1680 . Complete . ESTC R235169 . [3] An Answer to Mr. Langhorn's Speech.(London, 1679). Complete . ESTC R16400. [4] No faith of credit to be given to Papists. London, Tho. Cockerill, 1681. (title soiled, upper marg. last lves cropped) ESTC 12871. [5] An impartial consideration of those speeches which pass under the Name of the five jesuits. Lately executed.London, Chiswell, 1679. Complete. ESTC R2046. [6] The true speeches of Thomas Whitebread , William Harcourt , John Fenwick , John Gavan, A. Turner, before their execution at Tyburn. London, H.Hills, 1679. Complete. ESTC R5077. [7] A narrative and impartial discovery of the horrid Popish Plot.(by W. Bedloe), London, R. Boulter, 1679. Complete but for the portait. (lacks the portrait). ESTC R11047 [8] The last speech & Behaviour of William late Lord Russel.London, J.C. and Thomas Fox, 1683. Complete. ESTC R9946. Most of the publications are in good order allthough some leaves are dustsoiled or inkstained. Of the incomplete trials which form part of this collection we only mention the important '' The Tryal of Doctor Henry Sacheverell, before the house of Peers.'' London, J. Tonson, 1710. ESTC N474309. Our copy lacks the title and the last pages 329-335. We think it a pity to split up this collection formed immediately upon publication of these trials. The book shows no provenance marking except for a name ''P. Parston'', perhaps not contemporary, written in the corner of the first fly leaf.
