Softcover. 20 p.; front. (port.); 26 cm. (from Proceedings of the British Academy, vol. 31) Quoting from a junior colleague's reminiscences: "There was one famous occasion when he entered his ordinary class with the tassel of his square (which he was wearing) burning merrily, having caught fire from his pipe. He was quite unconscious of it, and the story goes that there was a general rush to `put the Professor out'. There are various stories of his impatience in church. The only one I remember is that he was rebuked from the pulpit with the words: `Will Professor Taylor please stop rustling his raincoat?'" (p. 5 f.) -- `The two thinkers to whom Taylor owed most in his theological thinking were St. Thomas Aquinas, on whose importance as a philosopher he delivered in 1924 a lecture that is reprinted in Philosophical Studies, and Immanuel Kant. To the former he owed the cosmological argument which he restated, with alterations of his own, in `The Vindication of Religion'. To the latter he owed his sense of the fundamental importance of the Categorical Imperative, and the argument for theism which, again with differences, was restated in The Faith of a Moralist (1930), and occupies great part of the first of its two volumes. The strength of his argument will be very differently estimated by those who start with a disposition to agree and by those who start with a disposition to disagree. This at least may be sain, that the argument for theism has rarely been stated more persuasively, or with a wider range of philosophical and theological learning.'

Ahmet Ferit Tek was born to Mustafa Resit, an accountant at the Ottoman Ministry of Finance, and his wife Hanife Leyla in Bursa in 1877. To another source, he was born on 7 March 1878. He had a brother ?brahim Refet Tek. He joined the Young Turks movement, which aimed the restoration of the suspended Ottoman constitution of 1876. He was arrested and exiled to Ottoman Tripolitania, what is today part of Libya. However, he managed to escape to Paris, France via Tunis. In Paris, he studied Political Science, and graduated. During this time, he also wrote for Sura-yi Ümmet ("People's Council", 1902-1929), an Ottoman periodical published by the Committee of Union and Progress of the Young Turks movement. After living in Kazan, Russian Empire between 1903-1908, he settled in Egypt. In Cairo, he wrote for the local newspaper Türk. In 1908, Ahmet Ferit returned to Istanbul, and was appointed history professor at Istanbul University's School of Political Science. He co-founded "Milli Mesrutiyet Firkasi" ("National Constitutional Monarchy Party"). The ideas in the party programme of the nationalistic movement were "The Turks had fought on the frontiers of the Empire for centuries. They had to neglect their own land. Anatolia, the heart of Turkish territories, is uncared. The time has come for Turks to think over their own national destiny." On 25 March 1912, he co-founded Türk Ocaklari (Turkish Hearths), a nationalistic organization, with Mehmet Emin Yurdakul (1869-1944), Ahmet Agaoglu (1869-1939), Yusuf Akçura (1876-1935) and some others. He was elected chairman of the organization in the first board meeting succeeding Yurdakul, the founding president. He published the newspaper Ilham ("Inspiration"), where he wrote hot. During the Turkish War of Independence, he supported the Kemalists. He entered the newly established parliament in Ankara as a deputy of Istanbul. He was appointed Minister of Finance in the 1st cabinet of the Executive Ministers in the Government of the Grand National Assembly on 17 July 1920. He served at this post until the end of the 2nd cabinet of the Executive Ministers on 19 May 1921. He took part in the Turkish delegation sent to the Conference of Lausanne (1922-1923). After the proclamation of the Turkish Republic, he remained in the parliament as a deputy of Kütahya, and was appointed the Minister of the Interior in the 1st and the 2nd cabinet of Ismet Inönü between 30 October 1923 and 22 November 1924. After 1925, he chose a diplomatic career. He was appointed ambassador to London (1925-1932), Warshaw (1932-1939), and Tokio (1939-1943). (Source: Wikipedia). This photograph was taken in Lausanne. Shows him when he is smoking. Extremely rare.

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. Plain postcard, with stamp printed in red. In fair condition, discoloured and worn. Addressed by Gore to 'W. D. Ross Esq / 6 Charlbery Road / Oxford'. Begins: 'Will you forgive a p. c.? I have no secretary & am rather overwhelmed with applications. You may not know that I did the thing you suggest at the meeting for Oxford House in Magd. Hall last summer. But besides this I must respectfully say that I cannot undertake any more work than I have already on hand up to next Easter. Forgive me. I have the best will. / Charles Gore'. The subject of the letter is presumably the Oxford House Anglican settlement in Bethnal Green.

See the entries for Grey and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Reads: 'My dear Provost / Probably you will not think that the enclosed requires any answer or that it is a matter for the head of a College but as it concerns a member of Oriel I send it on to you / Yours very truly / Grey of Fallodon.'.

See the entries for Lang and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo, on light-grey paper. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once for postage. Begins 'Dear Vice Chancellor. / Some time ago I proposed Sir David Cecil for election to the Athenaeum. His name has produced a remarkable number of supporters, but no one has been put down as seconder to my proposal.' He asks Ross to second Cecil's nomination, before writing a sentence which is hard to decipher. He concludes by suggesting that he inform the club secretary accordingly, if Ross is willing.

2pp, 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with slight spotting and single punch hole centred above letterhead. Folded twice. The letter is addressed to 'My dear Vice-Chancellor' without further elaboration, but the item comes from the Ross papers. Temple explains that it has been 'difficult to foresee how this summer could be arranged: the planning of domestic life in two houses under present conditions of staffing is very complicated!' His wife will not be joining him in the visit, as she 'feels obliged to spend that week-end at Canterbury'. He finds the arrangements the Vice-Chancellor has made for him 'most delightful', and hopes he will be able to 'stay and dine with you in College on the Sumday night', but 'it is possible that I may have to return to London in order to give a broadcast talk to America that night at about 10 o'clock'. He awaits a definite answer on the matter, but 'as it is a question of dining in Hall I hope no great inconvenience will be caused by leaving it open'. Signature and postscript in Temple's autograph: 'William Cantuar: / I suppose you will be wearing evening dress on the Sunday - ?'.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice for postage. Addressed to 'The Provost of Oriel' and with sprawling signature 'Yours vy trly / Cosmo Cantuar:'. Reads: 'Dear Provost, / I have received your letter of November 20th about Mr. Randall Cooper. I am sorry to say that your letter came too late for the appointment of the first batch of Assistant Cataloguers. They have now been appointed but I am informed that there may be further appointments in the Spring. I am forwarding your letter to the Director of the British Museum informing him that I am willing to give Mr. Cooper a nomination.' For Lang's difficult relations with the British Museum as a trustee of that institution, see D. M. Wilson's 2002 'The British Museum: A History'. See Image.

See the entries for Grenfell and Ross in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium of light-grey paper. In fair condition, aged and spotted. Folded once for postage. The identity of the recipient is unclear, but the item derives from the papers of Sir David Ross [W. D. Ross], Scottish philosopher and Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University (see the Oxford DNB). Whilst fully aware that Ross's 'extra work'during 'this unhappy year' has been 'done with the view of giving your best to aid your country's interest', he has great pleasure in 'giving you the enclosed' (presumably some form of extra remuneration). 'The long hours & the worry of dealing with fresh questions every day, have been very trying to mind & body', and Grenfell assures Ross 'of the partners sincere appreciation of the manner in which you have executed your extra duties'. Grenfell has been 'personally specially interested in the able way in which you have executed the money & exchange questions arising from the Bank of England work'. He ends with best wishes to Ross and his mother for the coming year.
