Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very Good. This is "Phineas Finn" by Anthony Trollope. It is the Oxford University Press hardcover edition, issued in 1977, and is embellished with the line drawings of T. L. B. Huskinson. The book has an introduction by Shane Leslie. A small impression on the rear cover tells us that this is a book club edition. "Phineas Finn" is the second of Trollope's 'Palliser Novels', and is a thorough satirical send-up (but a joyously sympathetic one) of Parliamentary Politics and English societal culture that formed around Politics. Politics with a capital P were close to Trollope's heart, and in this novel he brings a clear view of Parliamentary shennanigans to the surface.

Hardcover. xv, 167 p.; 19 cm. -- First printing of Newman's previously unpubl. 'The changed Mother' from Oct. 21, 1845 (not in Blehl) On pages 117-119: 'The Bodleian Library preserves the original and unprinted poem which was written by Newman within a fortnight of his conversion, dated from his old college and sent to Mark Pattison, among whose papers it was found. It gives the impression that he had received a very cold welcome on returning from Littlemore to the haunts he had once dominated. It also supplies an interpretation of the angel faces at the close of Lead, Kindly Light. To his intense and sensitive nature they reflected his beloved friends.' THE CHANGED MOTHER [stanzas 1-2, 10-11, 14-16] So Oxford, once thy dear old towers / Again to-day I see, / Each time looks like the last, tho' oft / I yet may visit thee. // But thou art changed, my Mother dear, / On me why look'st thou so? / I scarce did think thy ancient smile / Could clouded be with woe. / . . / Changed Mother! brethren yet I have, / Beloved like my own brother,-- / But those my angels sweet, will go,-- / Of them too thou art Mother. // Good-bye! changed Mother, oh good-bye! / We part not in unkindness: / I half began these silly words / In anger--'twas my blindness. / . . / I know there is one Mother yet / (Changed Mother! dost thou not know?) / Who never bade a sorrowing child / In hopeless sorrow go. // I know that I am not alone / Her prayers ascend each hour-- / I think, oh, thou my soul doth love! / She hath thy Heavenly dower. // Oh, Blessed Lord! may I and mine / Be with the One True Mother: / Then what thou wilt--to gift of thee / I cannot ask another! / Trin.

The four letters are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. Each 1p., 12mo. The first three letters are written to Brooks, as editor of 'Truth'; the fourth is a letter of condolence to Brooks's wife. In the first letter (14 April 1945) he apologises for the delay in sending in a review: 'I have been two months out of the country and nothing could be forwarded.' He adds: 'I wish I saw more of Charles Webster. He is one of my very few surviving friends of Cambridge days.' The second letter (5 July 1945) begins: 'News has been so earthy of the earth lately that I think a good ghost story would thrill your readers'. He is enclosing 'a few lines of Introduction', and suggests that Brooks edits the story down. Postscript: 'Put his signature by all means.' The third letter (6 March 1948) congratulates Brooks on his book, and thanks him 'for Stefan Zweig which I will read & review next week'. The last (7 April 1959) is a letter of condolence to Brooks's wife. 'It recalls to me many visits to the offices of Turth. It was always a pride and a please to contribute to columns edited by Collin Brooks. Quid est veritas? will be his epitaph'. Accompanying the four letters is a Typed Letter Signed from Brooks to Leslie, 14 February 1945, on letterhead of "Truth" Buildings, Carteret Street, Quyeen Anne's Gate, London. (There is nothing to indicate that the letter is a copy.) He apologises for 'a breach of etiquette', sends a book to review ('To "Make the page" in any given week, reviews must reach me not later than the Monday this because we have now to print in the country.') He concludes with an enquiry after 'our common friend, C. K. Webster'.…
