Descripción:
English glass painter and novelist (1875-1923). All five items in very good condition, and all but the third and fifth stamped and docketed. ITEM ONE: two pages, 4to. He will be 'delighed and honoured by reading a paper before the R.S.A.' Gives a choice of dates and states 'I shall want a lantern.' He wants 'to draw the Society's attention to the fact that the various processes in making a modern window follow the developments of stained glass from the 11th (or perhaps the 9th) century to the beginning of the 15th.' Explains his thesis in some detail, and discusses possible titles. ITEM TWO: two pages, 4to. Asks Menzies to 'fix me up' for a date other than that booked for him by Hardinge-Tyler for the Archaeological Institute. 'I have also got the subject matter of the paper out of joint'. Explains why. 'As a result I have promised Hardinge-Tyler & yourself the same paper, like a fool! This won't do', so he will 'get out a paper for the R.S.A. on the technical developments of the 14th century'. ITEM THREE: two pages, 8vo. Thanks Menzies for the date he has chosen. 'The XIV century developments in stained-glass are really very interesting.' Gives brief explanation. ITEM FOUR: one page, 4to. Gives alternate titles for the lecture. 'I haven't touched the paper yet, being overworked, but you shall have a piece of it, by the middle of April.' Brief discussion of his working methods. Hopes to see Menzies at the Savage Club on a certain date. ITEM FIVE: two pages, 8vo. Thanks Menzies for his letter, 'with flattering enclosures'. 'I would have answered before, but have been flat on my back for a week with a displaced semi-lunar cartilage of the left knee, & am only allowed to sit up today. Rotten & silly!' Agrees 'that Professor Lethaby is quite a good man. Failing him, why not G. McNeill Rushforth? - or Sir Cecil Smith. [.] Do you know Lord Cranford of Balcarres? [.] for Heaven's sake, keep this to yourself'. The lot, N° de ref. del artículo 3753

Descripción See his entry in Who Was Who. The thirteen items in good condition, lightly aged, most with RSA date stamp and annotations. A total of 12pp, 8vo, in autograph; and 5pp, 4to, typed. The first ten signed D T Chadwick and the last three David Chadwick . The earliest letter, to RSA Secretary Sir Henry Trueman Wood on 22 December 1916, deals with the publication of Chadwick s remarks at the discussion on Prof. Todds paper before the Indian Section of the Society of Arts . On 11 July 1918 he asks if it is possible for the Department of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, to go up for Membership, as a record of the papers read are of undoubted use to this office , discussing the matter at some length. ( I want the journal to belong to this office [last two words underlined twice] & not be claimed by the Dept. Is my confrere in Calcutta - the Director General of Commercial Intelligence [named in a subsequent letter as H. A. F. Lindsay] - a member? He ought to join. ) He concludes the letter that follows No thanks are due to me for trying to help the Society. I think it is most useful. Letter of 3 September 1918 concerns the publication in the RSA journal of a lecture given by him at the British Scientific Products Exhibition, concluding I found I had omitted all mention of Indigo & of the Behar planters. For Heaven s sake don t tell anyone so. Among other letters on the same topic is one of 9 September 1918, explaining the reason for an addition he is making to the lecture: I have added this because I see from some of the brief Press extracts which have appeared that a somewhat false impression has been conveyed, namely that all classes in India were benefiting economically from the war. Such, of course, is not the case, and I think it should make it clear that my lecture was in no sense an economic survey of India in war-time, but merely a summary of some of her industrial efforts. On 29 May 1930 he writes with regard to an IAB conference of those engaged in the Empire on research in regard to fruit production , for which the RSA has agreed to rent out rooms, with payment for current used and something to the operator of the lantern. The Society would also, if necessary, provide teas, of course on payment by those attending the Conference . The last two letters also concern this Empire Horticulturists Conference .
