There is some light staining to the edges of the letter with an additional small, light stain to the blank section of the verso. Folded once for mailing. Good.…Dunlop writes to his correspondent about a photostat of an Islamic manuscript offered for sale in Dawson's catalogue. ".I am inclined to think that this is the same work as the Kitab Tafhim fi'n-Nujum (sic, not Najum, as in the catalogue), and further, that the photostat now offered for sale may have been made in connection with this edition. I saw Tillotson, who will propose purchase of the photostat at a meeting of the Library committee this afternoon."British orientalist and scholar of Islamic and Eurasian history Douglas Morton Dunlop [1909-1987] studied at Bonn and Oxford under the historian Paul Ernst Kahle. In the 1950s and '60s, he was Professor of History at Columbia University in New York. He is best known for his influential histories, "Arab Civilization to A.D. 1500" [London: Longman, 1971] and "The History of the Jewish Khazars" [New York: Schocken Books, 1967]. Dunlop was the "most esteemed scholar of the Khazar monarchy" and had command of the many languages needed to study the Khazars--Arabic, Byzantine, Hebrew and Chinese.

Añadir al carritoNo Binding. Condición: Good. Original ALS in full and as 'BGS' in black ink on paper. "Club de Constantinople, Pera" embossing on the upper right corner. Open size: 20x25 cm. Almost 70 lines in English. The recipient is not named, and the salutation is in Romany. Aged and worn with closed tears along fold lines. A rare and histo…rically significant letter providing a vivid and newsworthy glimpse into Ottoman political life just three days after the 31 March Incident, an uprising in April 1909 during the first year of the Young Turk Revolution, at the heart of Constantinople, particularly around the palace. It includes a detailed account of a day in a Turkish bath (hammam), the arrest and execution of Kurds, and reference to an unsuccessful attempt at a massacre of Christians. The letter also describes the writer's attendance at the Selamlik ceremony with the new Sultan Mehmed V Resad at Hagia Sophia, rumours surrounding the deposed Sultan Abdulhamid II, and the execution of his chief eunuch in the city. Additionally, it recounts the dramatic scene of a military band marching from Bâb-i Âli (The Sublime Porte) towards Galata Bridge with great noise and a gathered crowd, where the chief eunuch's execution took place. The letter begins: 'I am about to feast the eve of tomorrow which is the eve of the next day by imbibing a large quantity of Whisky and Soda, first to see how much will be required to produce the desired effect. I am also streaming with a cold in the head due to a hammam last night. The Kurdish youth has left for his country: - many Kurds have been arrested & shot since you left. A rumour which it is impossible to confirm & which sounds to me stupid will have it that a massacre of Christians was imminent & would have taken place if the troops had not entered last Saturday when they did.' He continues - with reference to Sir H. C. A. Eyres, Consul-General at Constantinople, 1905-14 - by describing how he has that day 'asked Eyres's permission and got it and went to the new Selamlik with the "Good Reshad", Mehmet V as Sultan. It was held at Aya Sofia. I drove up to the Square with Edmonds & made my way to a back entrance of the Mosque facing the Sea and there I saw Mrs: Eyres & daughter & a Kavass in a carriage in splendid view of the Gate where he, He, was to pass. I left Edmonds who would not follow & got through the crowd to the carriage. I was disappointed in the Selamlik. It was crowded & too big, & disorderly & bourgeois, so different to the one you saw in the pretty little mosque on the hill.' He suggests that it may improve 'when the regiments are organized […] but as they will not keep so many soldiers in Constantinople it will never again be what it was.' There has been 'no news yet worth recording of Adbul Hamid. The head eunuch was hung (hanged) on the New Bridge yesterday morning they say.' He 'walked back through narrow streets headed by a band playing one Turkish Air [i.e., Maqam] after another, the first the one you know, passed the Sublime Porte & down the Rue de la S. Porte & down to the New Bridge: most !' He is regularly studying Romanian 'in bed - keeps me from wasting too much time on it'. He concludes: 'I don't think we have heard the last of the old man yet. What will Anatolia do? And Arabia?' Postscript signed 'BGS': 'Yesterday I went up to the Seraskerat & saw the prisoner soldiers begging for bread through the grills, bars I mean. I avoided the Bazaar & the Spaniard, so as not to have to tell you what he might say!'. Bernard Gilliat-Smith's career is described by him in "Who Was Who": "Levant Consular Service; served at Constantinople, Sofia, Beirut, Varna, Foreign Office (London), Tabriz, Copenhagen, Sarajevo, Leningrad, Bucharest, New Orleans, Smyrna; retired, 1943". Online sources say: "British diplomat, linguist, botanist, naturalist and botanical collector". At the time Gilliat-Smith was in the consular service in Istanbul.

Añadir al carritoOne: Holograph poem by Gere in red ink on slip of paper. Apparently unpublished, it reads: 'I.M. E.HWM | buried Hampstead 18. 9. '52 | Grave scholar of a Grays Inn cell, | Gay naturalist of Norfolk fen, | Divion [sic, corrected in pencil to 'Division'] now ordains farewell. | I shall not see your like again. | JG'. Items Two to…Seventeen: Sixteen transcriptions of letters and notes from Meyerstein to John Gere (as 'J G'). Each on a separate piece or slip of paper, and all written out in red ink. Possibly written out for Watson's use, and returned on the publication of his selection (which contains four Meyerstein letters to Gere). Item Eighteen: Transcription by Gere of letter from Meyerstein to him, dated 7 July 1950. 1p., 4to. Referring to Item Nineteen, Meyerstein writes: 'I never realized before how hard it is to speak critically of work, infused with personality, that goes so near the hart as this does to mine. I shall understand if you can't use it, but it is the best I can do, and I thank you for giving me the chance.' Item Nineteen: Transcription by Gere of letter from Meyerstein to 'T. I F A Esq [i.e. T. I. F. Armstrong]'. 2pp., 4to. Critical of his poetic efforts, and beginning: 'I have read through the black book and found nothing in it. One piece has a decadent Wratislavia flavour (p22) but I doubt if it is worth keeping. I am worried about you, so far as writing poetry is concerned, because I don't feel your heart is really in it. These refrains are awful. [.] If you merely want to write a poem that finds its way into 1000 anthologies devil take you. [.] If I knew nothing of you and merely read the contents of the black book I should imagine that you had read nothing but songs and jingles in the newspapers. [.] It all comes down to this: you must read before you write, and read not as a bibliographer, a measurer-up of books, but as a student who wishes to find out how certain effects are obtained, and not imitate them but think out others equally good.' Item Twenty (from which the recipient of Item Nineteen has been identified): Envelope, with stamps and postmark, with typed address to Meyerstein at Magdalen College, Oxford, deleted and readdressed by him to '1246619 Sgt. T. I. F. Armstrong | Section 17 H.Q. Base Air Forces | S. E. Asia'. Items Twenty-one to Twenty-three: Three newspaper cuttings, including Meyerstein's Times obituary (13 September 1952) and a review of his 'Of My Early Life' from the Listener, 9 January 1958. Item Twenty-four: Printed prospectus for Item Twenty-five. 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. 'Printed by The Garden City Press Ltd., Letchworth, Hertfordshire.' Item Twenty-five: Copy of 'Some Letters of E. H. W. Meyerstein', edited by Rowland Watson. A fair copy, in worn and aged dustwrapper.

Añadir al carritoSee the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. The five items are in good condition, lightly aged, with each on a 4to bifolium, and all folded for postage. In a neat and attractive hand. The text of each letter is on the first leaf, and the first two letters are addressed by Porteus on the reverse of the second leaf, each with bro…ken seals in red wax. In Letters Four and Five Porteus lays out his objections to Maurice's 'Elegy on the late Right Honourable William Pitt', published in 1806 under the name 'T. M.' ONE (St James's Square, 10 April 1898): 1p, 4to. Addressed to 'Revd. Mr Maurice / No. 19. Princes Street / Cavendish Square'. He is 'overwhelmed by Business', but hopes to read Maurice's letter and two pamphlets 'when I move into the Country'. 'The Point you are labour is a curious & important one, & I have little doubt of your being able to substantiate your opinion.' TWO (Sundridge, 26 August 1800): 2pp, 4to. Maurice's letter arrived while he was 'on a Visit in Oxfordshire'. He thanks him for the enclosed preface, 'which I hope will finish your Labours & afford you Leisure to attend more to your Health'. 'It is to be lamented that the Situation at the Museum, which most of your Friends thought peculiarly adapted to you is become unpleasant to you; & I think it will deserve a little further consideration from you before you resolve upon Exchanging it, even if you were permitted. That Permission does not rest solely with the Archbishop; but if you continue in the same mind when I return to London in the Winter & have an opportunity of seeing the Archbishop, I will have some conversation with his Grace on the subject, & will communicate to him your wishes.' THREE (Sundridge, 26 September 1800): 1p, 4to. Franked to 'Revd Mr Maurice / British Museum / London' from 'Sevenoakes - August / Twenty Six. 1800 B. London'. He has returned from 'a Visit in Hampshire' to find 'the five last Volumes of the Indian Antiquities which you was so obliging as to send me; & of which I beg that I may be allowed to pay the current Price''. As Maurice has communicated his wishes 'to the ABp & Bp of Lincoln', Porteus will 'not fail to converse with them on that subject when we meet'. FOUR (Sundridge, 4 September 1806): 2pp, 4to. He is sending a banker's draft for ten guineas. 'I have read your Elegy on Mr Pitt, & think it has great merit & is written in the true Poetical energy & ardor. To a few expressions & a few lines I have some objections'. One of these is Porteus's use of the word 'saviour': 'too strong & too sacred an expression to be applied to any human Being however great'. He goes into greater detail in explaining why it is 'going too far' to suggest that 'any of the Human Race immediately after Death is appointed to 'Minister to Heaven's Eternal King'". Regarding one turn of expression: 'There are acts of Power that belong solely to the Almighty; & the last expression is so peculiarly appropriated to our blessed Lord that it is surely very improper to preidcate it of any other Person whatever.' While he is sure that no offence was meant, he urges Maurice to 'reconsider & remove' all 'ambiguity'. FIVE (Clifton, 26 August 1807, but the year apparently a mistake for 1806): 2pp, 4to. Having received a 'pacquet by the Bristol Mail', he laments that Maurice has not followed his advice, 'both with respect to the Mode of Publication & the Alteration of the Passage to which I objected. - By printing the Poem at your own risque [sic] on so large & expensive a scale you will, I fear, again involve yourself in difficulties which you will not easily surmount: & by retaining the Objectionable Line you will, I am persuaded, prejudice many serious Persons against your Poem, which in other respects has considerable merit. - Indeed in looking again at the whole of the Portrait you have drawn of that truly great man whom you celebrate (& of whom I think as highly as any man can possibly do) I perceive several other expressions which appear to me objectionable - no mortal man (however great & good) should be dignified with the sacred name of the Saviour of his Country, (p.117) which should be appropriated solely to the Saviour of the World. Nor should the Almighty be represented as displaying to one of his own Creatures all his vast designs (p.122). Nor can any dead Man be the Guardian or Protector of Kingdoms & Empires. P.123. This Power belongs to God alone.' He gives Maurice 'full credit for not meaning any Thing improper by such expressions', and is 'willing to make all due allowance for the Enthusiasm of a Poet & the flights of an ardent Imagination. But still when he treads so close on hallowed Ground he must proceed with great caution & reverential Awe, & not ascribe to any human Being those properties & Powers which are the peculiar Attributes of the omnipotent Sovereign of the Universe'. He ends by stating that he is only writing to Maurice out of an interest 'for your Credit & that of your Poem', 'for indeed in my present precarious state of Health, I find writing very inconvenient to me; & it is therefore now my wish that this matter may rest here, & that nothing more may be said on the Subject either on your part or mine.'.
