[Lord Carrington, Tory politician who sorted out Pitt the Younger’s personal finances.] Autograph Letter Signed to Robert Sparrow regarding a parliamentary bill on the subject of waste land and enclosures.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 4to. In good condition, with thin neat strip from windowpane mount adhering at edges. Folded for postage. Signed ‘Carrington’ and addressed to ‘Robert Sparrow Esq.’ He has received Sparrow’s letter, and informs him that ‘the Bill is yet [to be] brought into the House of Lords for the improvement of waste land’. All that has been done is the instructing of ‘the Committee appointed on account of the dearth of Provisions, to take into immediate consideration the subject of Enclosures in general, & of waste lands in particular.’ However important the point which Sparrow mentions may be ‘for a separate enquiry’, it ‘does not come within the limits of these instructions, nor could it be perhaps proper to mix any other subject with that abovementioned. [sic]’ Note: [Enclosures] It gained pace in the 18th century before really accelerating as a result of the General Enclosure Act of 1801. This law enabled landowners - and notably nouveau riche farmers - to enclose their land without a prior Parliamentary act, as had previously been the case.~150~AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT LORD ROBERT SMITH CARRINGTON BULCOTE IRELAND LODGE UPTON NOTTINGHAMSHIRE TORY POLITICIAN BANKER BANKING WILLIAM PITT THE YOUNGER ENCLOSURES COMMON LAND REFORM ROBERT SPARROW~~0~Richard Fdr Fol.1~~~0~~ 24488~07/12/2022~False~Lord Overstone [Samuel Jones-Loyd, 1st Baron Overstone] (1796-1883), Whig politician and banker [John Thadeus Delane (1817-1879), editor of The Times; Winchester School]~[Lord Overstone, Whig politician.] Original unpublished Autograph Poem against corporal punishment, titled ‘The Victims address to the Head Master & Prefect of Winchester School’, with covering Autograph Letter Signed to Times editor J.

Overstone was writing to try and get Delane to insert his poem in The Times, but does not appear to have been successful, as there is no evidence that it was ever published. See the entries for both men in the Oxford DNB. Both items in good condition, lightly aged, with thin neat strips from windowpane mounts adhering to edges. Each folded for postage. ONE: Unsigned Autograph Poem. 2pp, 4to. Bifolium. Titled ‘The Victims address to the Head Master & Prefect of Winchester’. Forty-two lines long, written in heroic couplets. The fifth line has an unimportant deletion, but the penultimate line has been recast (see below). Begins: ‘Oh! is it not a saddening sight to see / (For Pedagogues ill manner’d pleasantry) / The bruised back, and lacerated - hum! / I stagger at the offensive word - the b-m. / T’is [sic] true indeed we cut the tender skin / Of youth, the vaccine virus to let in / But Learning’s Honey we cannot infuse / By Birch or Stick, by Scratches or by Bruize [sic]’. Concludes: ‘Reign by mild influence - do not mistake / The silken thread withdraw - where hempen cords will break. / Thus trained, our manly Boys to manlier men will grow / And love thro life the School from whence their blessings flow.’ The penultimate line appears to have originally read: ‘Thus manly Boys to more than men will grow’.

In good condition, lightly aged, with thin neat strip from windowpane mount adhering to the outer edges. Folded twice for postage. Writing during the Siege of Paris, he begins by thanking him ‘for the specimen of the present Paris printing. Alas how different is this blurred & blotted mass of types from the beautiful pages of typography which that brilliant city afforded! Alas too for the hopes which we expressed to each other when last we met that the war being over we might pass a few days at Paris before the present month had closed! Are there really no - no [sic] hopes at all of speedy peace?’ He was pleased to see in that day’s Times ‘the article in vindication of Dr Russell’ (Charles William Russell, President of Maynooth College). He wonders if Delane noticed that he himself gave a speech ‘in laying a foundation stone’, during which he ‘took an opportunity of bearing my testimony to Dr. Russell’s high character as well as great intelligence. This I said I could do from personal knowledge, & that I did it the rather as shewing that some of his recent statements had been called in question’. He and Lady Stanhope are ‘quite alone’ (at Chevening), ‘but expect very shortly a reinforcement of sons’.

Among the numerous deficiencies in Joshua Kendall’s biography of Roget, ‘The Man Who Made Lists’ is the fact that he fails to mention either of the trips for which these passports were employed.

The second item has been carefully repaired with archival tape, but both are in good general condition, with the inevitable age and wear attendant on such a document.

From Latvia (Riga, Vilnius), Germany (Berlin), and US (Boston, Cambridge, Cruger Island, Glasco Turnpike Saugerties New York).~Peteris Cedrins possessed an interesting dual heritage: born in the US to exiles from communism, he grew up in Chicago, was educated at Bard College (NYS), and settled in Latvia on the fall of the Soviet Union. He published in English and Lavian in the US, UK and Latvia. See the appreciative obituary by Jeffrey Sommers, posted on the ‘Counterpunch’ website on 11 August 2022: ‘Memoriam: Latvia’s Peteris Cedrins, Last of the National Poets’. Another online source states that from 1991 he was ‘a lecturer at the University of Latvia, Daugavpils Pedagogical University, head of foreign relations of the Writers’ Union of Latvia, secretary of the international board of the Daugavpils Multinational Cultural Center, etc. Cedrin’s father, Dr. Janis Cedrinš compiled the writings of his brother poet Vilas Cedrinš, who died in exile in Vorkut, in two volumes.’ The present collection consists of loose duplicated typescripts of English language poems, a few including duplication of manuscript interpolations. Three of the poems have details of publication; the others are apparently unpublished. 70pp, 8vo. On one side each of 70 pieces of A4 paper, with three of the pages typed lengthwise. In good condition, on browning high-acidity paper, with a handful of leaves with creasing and wear to extremities. Chopped-line free verse in the Beat fashion. A few poems have dedications: ‘for Jeffra [Sommers, see above]’, Gerrit (two), ‘for Daedalus’, ‘for Harry Crosby’. Most poems with date and place, a few items possibly disordered. The following are the longer pieces: A Working, 8pp (‘1991. 18. May’); Aphrodite Weaning, 4pp (‘1992.4.III.

Is there any remedy short of polygamy?’ He turns to the subject of ‘German Immigrants’, on which he has an unusual view: ‘what are we but improved Germans?
