A scarce piece of ephemera from the earliest days of the LSE: no other copy traced, either on JISC or WorldCat. (There is a 47-page related item in a library in the Netherlands.) A stapled 12mo pamphlet of 32 pp., in pink printed wraps which are themselves paginated [i]-[iv]. On aged and discoloured paper, with lightly rusted staples, and a hole to one corner for stringing up (not damaging any text), and note in blue pencil at head of front cover: 'see pp 12, 19'. (Pp. 12, 19 and 20 each have a little underlining in blue pencil.) The title on the cover reads: 'Extract from the Calendar of The London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London) For the Session 1904-1905 Specifying the Courses of particular interest to those engaged in Accounting'. The title on p.1 is different (and corresponds with that of the Dutch pamphlet, although that item is 47 instead of 32 pp long): 'The London School of Economics and Political Science. (University of London.) The Sessional Programme for the Session 1904-1905, Together with a List of recently published and other Standard Works in Economics and Political Science and cognate subjects. London: The London School of Economics and Political Science: Clare Market, W.C. September, 1904.' The inside front cover (p.ii) is headed 'H. - Accounting.' and lists 'courses of lectures in Accountancy and Business Methods' that 'the Governors of the School have established', 'In view of the increasing importance to business men of scientific training in Accounting, of the close relation of that subject to the exact study of economics, commercial, and administrative problems, and of its position in the scheme adopted for the University of London for the B.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees'. The back inside cover (p.iii) outlines 'The work of the school.', which is arranged in twelve lettered groups from Economics to Librarianship. The text of the pamphlet begins with a list of the officers, from the President Lord Rothschild to the Governors (including Bertrand Russell, Herbert Louis Samuel, and 'Mrs. Bernard Shaw' and 'Mrs. Sidney Webb'. There are also two pages of Lecturers, and the list ends with the Secretaries. There is a five-page introduction describing the 'objects of the School', and details on how to apply, fees, the Students' Union and other topics. Pp. 12-32 carry the 'Arrangement for the Session, 1904-1905.' It features a detailed description of 75 courses, from 'The Local Government of England', by Percy Ashley, to 'Constitutional Law and History', by Robert A. Wright. The back cover of the pamphlet carries a map of the neighbourhood of the school.

See Sidney Webb's entry in the Oxford DNB, now unaccountably placed within that of his wife. From the papers of Arthur George Liddon Rogers (1864-1944), son and editor of the economist Thorold Rogers [James Edwin Thorold Rogers] (1823-1890), for information regarding whom see his entry in the Oxford DNB. The three items in good condition, lightly aged. Each folded once. All three signed 'Sidney Webb'; the first to 'Sir', the second to 'My dear Rogers', and the third to 'Dear Rogers'. ONE: 22 September 1891. 4pp, 12mo. An interesting letter in the light of Webb's having joined the Fabian Society at the start of the year. He is honoured by the proposal contained in Rogers's letter of the previous day, inviting him to address 'the Council of the Stepney Liberal & Radical Assoc[iatio]n': 'I am in the difficulty that I have promised to consider proposals that I should stand for other constituencies and I cannot, at present, feel sure whether I should be free to stand for Stepney even if the Council approved my candidature.' He could not in any case 'give a decided answer' for around a fortnight. 'But I shall be glad to address the Council on the County Council programme, on the 20th Octr., a date which I understand will suit local convenience.' TWO: 2pp, 12mo. He is enclosing a cheque for one pount 'for Steadman's Expenses': 'I can't afford more.' He apologises for having been 'totally unable to find time to help you with a Factory Acts leaflet. If it is still undone after Mch 5, especially if I am defeated [in the 1892 London County Council elections], I will see about it.' (In the event Webb was returned as member for Deptford by a large majority.) THREE: 8 June 1893. 4pp, 12mo. 46 lines of text. Begins: 'Dear Rogers / I am sorry I spoke. No one made any complaint about you, [last word underlined twice] - quite the contrary. Nor was Norton the chief grumbler. He lists three factors that were 'spoken of': 'the absence of / (a) A telling leaflet explaining the Labor Department -' (he adds here: 'You give it 2 lines only!!') / (b) A description of the good works of the Education Dept. / (c) Do. for Local Govt. Board & Home Office.' He concedes that 'you have done the last named - after a fashion', 'But you have nothing on what has been done during the present year in any of the offices. (You must not say that nothing has been done!)'. He explains that what he is 'more interested in is the pamphlet on the whole programme'. It should be 'a 16 or 20 pp. thing, giving, say, a page to each plank in the programme, explaining the items & binding them together with some touch of principle & fire'. The pamphlet is needed 'more as a brief to speakers & M.P.s than for the million'. He ends, with characteristic self-assurance: 'Why don't you ask me to do it for you?'.
