2pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. Very good, on lightly-aged paper. Barrett writes: 'Dear Hall Caine/ | The scheme promises well. I have made an arrangement for eight weeks at the Princess's. I thought it better to fight for the play there. Will certainly have a fair chance, although there can be no .' According to Barrett's entry in the Oxford DNB, he returned from the Globe Theatre 'to the Princess's, where he began work with Hall Caine on adapting The Deemster, renamed Ben-my-chree (17 May 1888). It was his only real success, and he added it to his repertory on his second American tour, which began in Boston on 14 October 1889, and this time took in St Louis and San Francisco.'.

A very nice copy; uncommon in nice state. VERY GOOD INDEED. (x), 259 pages. Summary: 17 chapters. As an aspiring writer of 25, Hall Caine felt honoured to meet his idol, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who, by 1880, was living in seclusion in Chelsea. Rossetti's wife, the archetypal pre-Raphaelite beauty, Lizzie Siddall, had languished on the pedestal on which he had set her. Falling into a depression, she eventually died of an overdose. Rossetti buried a volume of poems with her, but seven years later, believing it to have been his best written work, he had her exhumed in order to recover it. Subsequently, and during the time Caine knew him, depressed and guilt-ridden, he too fell into a decline and became dependent on drugs. Caine gives an impression of what it was like to meet Rossetti and to share a home with him in the last few months of his life. **Will be well-packed for posting/shipping**. 8vo.

A nice item linking one of late Victorian England's most popular novelists with its most critically admired. See the entries for Caine and Meredith in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Laid down on part of a leaf from the autograph album of Meredith's daughter Marie Eveleen (Mariette; 1871-1933), wife of Henry Parkman Sturgis (1847-1929), American-born banker and Liberal politician. Reads: 'To / George Meredith / With much admiration / Hall Caine / 23/Sept/91.' See image. Note: Extracted from an Album of Autograph Letters created by Meredith's daughter which included letters to George Meredith from distinguished fellow-writers (as here) such as Henry James, George Eliot but also from people of distinction (such as Wellington and Clemenceau) to other correspondents.

An attractive item, in good condition, lightly aged and spotted. On one side of a piece of 17.5 x 25 cm landscape paper, with the autograph writing on the right-hand side and the 15 x 10 cm print of a studio portrait laid down on the left-hand side. Caine was a striking and instantly-recognisable individual, and the photograph shows him in characteristic style, bare-headed in his usual dress of long double-breasted coat with white cravat, staring intently at the camera, with a book in his right hand, and his right hand draped across his left thigh, his left leg being elevated on a chair. The inscription is signed 'Hall Caine | 9/ Nov 1905.', and is headed 'To | Lady Campbell Clarke.' Clearly in response to a request for an autograph, Caine has written out a celebrated four-line stanza from Tennyson's 'In Memoriam', beginning 'I hold it truth with him who sings'. The photograph is possibly the one taken by George Charles Beresford in 1904; it is certainly not one of the other 25 images of Caine in the National Portrait Gallery collection. Lady Campbell Clarke was part of the circle of Caine and his friend Bram Stoker, author of Dracula.

An excellent letter, in which Caine evaluates his wartime activities, criticises those of others, and gives his opinion of the the standing of the man of letters in the England of his time. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded once. A long letter: forty-two lines in Caine's distinctive close hand, with the first two pages on the rectos of the leaves, and the third page written lengthwise on the verso of the first leaf. Signed 'Hall Caine' and addressed to 'My dear Sladen'. This long letter is headed 'Private', and its postscript 'Strictly Private'. He begins by apologising for having to give an 'unfavourable reply' to Sladen's letter: 'if I could talk in your ear, what I cannot write, of my activies on behalf of our country since the war began (my own work has been stopped for 2 1/2 years & I have devoted myself almost entirely to natural work) & what I have attempted to do (sometimes privately, sometimes publicly) on great international affairs you would be the first to say that I am not indicated for the work you give me'. He has no doubt the men and women Sladen mentions 'do splendidly', but knowing some of them for some years, he is 'far from standing in awe of their present positions & achievements, & certainly would not from choice adopt the character of their [public?] megaphone'. He has been 'asked by the French Government to go to the Front very shortly to advice upon a new scheme of propaganda which (at their request) I suggested to them'. He congratulates Sladen on his son's 'most brilliant progress in the Army. As far back as our days together in Italy [amended from 'Egypt'] I realised he was a born soldier'. He ends with news of three 'male kinsmen', including his elest son, who 'has 5 large munition factories, & is in the sole charge'. The 'Strictly Private' seven-line postscript ends 'Pray destroy this letter. Only a friend ought to see what I wrote for a friend alone.' In the postscript he writes: 'Looking at your letter again I see you say our Committee would be asked to revise etc a number of leaflets drafted by some other committee perhaps of the men & women you mention. My God think of it! We who have spent 30 or more years of our lives learning the great art of speaking to the public being asked to advise on & revise the grammar & style of the people who haven't a child's knowledge of the craft! In no other country in the world does the man of letters stand so low as in Gt Britain. But it is not our fault. We allow these people of no consequence to stand above us.'.

An interesting exchange, casting light on manegerial practices in late-Victorian theatre. ONE: Typed Letter Signed by 'W. Lestocq'. 2pp., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. A long letter, single-spaced. He has 'talked over the whole matter of the prospects of "The Christian" tour with Mr Frohman for next season, and he does not desire to send out a company on tour himself. Now I could of course let it on Mr Frohman's behalf or perhaps sell his rights and the production outright.' He gives details of his first choice if the latter course were pursued. He explains his 'sliding scale' of 'the percentages for the large towns cited in the contract namely Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, Leeds and Newcastle and Brighton'. 'You can be sure in your interests that if you agree that in the event of my selling outright I should transfer your contract I will of course endeavour to insist that the percentages are taken over as arranged by Mr Frohman but I can tell you I quite contemplate being told that they are too heavy in the large towns. They certainly are too heavy for Mr Frohman to ask a profit on these percentages which is the usual way of letting a play and would of course I think strangle your run'. TWO: Autograph copy of HC's reply. Entirely in pencil, signed 'Hall Caine', and with 'Copy' at foot. 1p., 8vo. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. The letter begins: 'Before proceeding to negotiations outside, if Mr. Frohman takes an unfavourable View of the business & the Prospects of "The Christian" in the Provinces, will he not first say on what terms he would be willing to pass over to me his remaining Share in our agreement? This should take Cognisance of the present State of affairs between us, with £1000 paid by Mr Frohman in advance, & a large part of it already worked off in royalties.' In what follows HC praises Frohman's 'unfailing fair-mindedness'.

New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1909. Advance Review Copy for the First American Edition. 613, [1(blank)], [6 (adverts)]pp. Signed in twelves and fours. 8 illustration plates by R. Caton Woodville, including frontispiece. Plain thin brown wraps, unprinted, with violet rubber stamp on upper cover: "Advance Copy." Spine slightly perished; text toward novel's latter parts with old, mild tideline dampstaining; very good. In custom archival housing. Advance copy of a controversial novel of British colonial rule in Egypt by the incredibly popular and successful English novelist, Hall Caine (1853-1931). The public reaction to its publication raised issues of literary censorship and the relations between Muslims and Christians. Following a violent clash in the Egyptian village of Denshawai between British officers and villagers, public outcry focused attention on the ongoing British occupation of Egypt. The White Prophet was Caine's response to the "Denshawai incident." Critic George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) reviewed the book and defended Caine's sympathetic treatment of the Egyptians, writing that the novelist ".has put his finger on the real reason why British pro-consuls get stuffed periodically with the silly romance of a murderous conspiracy of Islam against Christendom." The Denshawai incident led to a turning point between the British occupiers of Egypt and its native citizens. Caine's controversial novel was a commercial failure despite his popularity and being the highest paid author of his day. As Bernard Shaw noted in his review, "Hall Caine sells a thousand copies where most of the rest of us either sell a hundred or cannot escape from journalism into books at all." Shaw's review was published in pamphlet form in 1909 and was reprinted later that year in the Atlanta Constitution in support of the first American edition of The White Prophet, an advance copy of which is offered here. The newspaper added its own remarks to the review: "The publication of a recent novel by Hall Caine has precipitated a tremendous literary controversy in England. The discussion involves the question of literary censorship, of a novelist's right to portray sacred characters or public men in his books, or to criticize his country's political policy in connection with what is admittedly a fictitious narrative. Mr. Caine deals severely with the British method of governing dependent peoples and especially with English administration in Egypt. As a result he has been bitterly arraigned by the ardent imperialists, and a dramatization of his book by Beerbohm Tree has been interdicted by the government's theatrical censor. These developments have led Mr. George Bernard Shaw to take up the cudgels in defense of literary freedom. " Actor and theatrical manager Herbert Beerbohm Tree (1852-1917) accompanied Caine on a research visit to Egypt in 1909 after his planned dramatization of The White Prophet was abandoned after it was threatened with government censorship. Shaw's pamphlet The Critics of the White Prophet (1909), defended Caine's novel and was to have been the preface to its second edition, but a second edition of The White Prophet was never published. It was the only book by Caine never re-printed. Rare advance copy of the first American edition of a controversial novel which engendered debates on literary censorship and the relations between Muslims and Christians. Note. 1. Tyson, ed.

See the description of Caine's political views in his entry in the Oxford DNB. He began as a communist, but became a Christian Socialist, and a supporter of the Liberal Party on the mainland of Britain (he was a member of the Isle of Man House of Keys from 1901 to 1908) and a follower of the Church of England. The present item would appear to relate to the 'impassioned propaganda' that Caine published in the Daily Telegraph from September 1914 (ODNB). It is 1p, 4to. It is in fair condition, lightly aged and discoloured, with minor traces of mount on the blank reverse, and with central horizontal and vertical folds. Written in Caine's distinctive tiny hand. A column on the left-hand side of the page is headed 'Downfall of a Nation / Please make the following corrections', while the right-hand side carries 'With Sir Hall Caine's compts'.
