and architects of the fi rst half of the nineteenth century. He illustrated York and Peterborough for Britton’s Cathedral
series, and provided the drawings for Sir Walter Scott’s Provincial Antiquities and Picturesque Scenery of Scotland.
As an architect “Blore built up an extensive practice both as a country-house architect and as a designer and restorer of
churches. The Tudor and Elizabethan styles were his speciality, and the elevations of nearly all his numerous country
houses were based on his studies of fi fteenth- and sixteenth-century domestic architecture. As a church architect
he experimented with the Romanesque and the Early English, but was more at home with the Decorated and the
Perpendicular.” - Colvin, H.: Biographical Dictionary of Architects.

Clara Grant, the “Bundle Woman of Bow” (1867-1949) was a primary school teacher in the East End of London. Her
“farthing bundles” were “surprise packets of odd trifl es” distributed to her poorer and younger pupils for more than
25 tears. They were made up of “tiny toys of wood, or tin, whole or broken, little balls, doll-less heads or head-less
dolls, whistles, shells, beads, reels, marbles, fancy boxes, decorated pill boxes, scraps of patchwork, odds and ends of
silk or wool, coloured paper for dressing up, cigarette cards and scraps.” The bundles continued to be sold until 1984,
her school, the infants’ school in Devon road, became the Clara Grant Primary school in 1993, and her Fern Street
Settlement is still a centre for local communities.

gilt rules, with raised bands, spines a trifl e mellowed. Unpaginated. All edges gilt. 200 photographic plates of portraits, each
with accompanying text. Harry Speight’s set, extra-illustrated with a further 18 photographic plates, with Speight’s typescript
or holograph text, extra notes etc., ending with a self-portrait and short autobiography. Scattered foxing, especially to the titles.
The typescript additions are dated 1900, the set being bound up shortly after. In the fi nal lines, Speight describes himself as
“the humble and unworthy writer of these lines, who has placed these portraits here for permanent preservation, and the book
it is hoped will be retained in the writer’s own family.” Loosely inserted are numerous relevant press cuttings, a photograph of
Speight’s wife Laura aged 21, Bingley Parish Church Roll of Honour, a reprint of “A Pen Portrait of Harry Speight” and various
letters to Speight, including a T.l.s. concerning the book. Cundall & Fleming, 1869. £1,800.00
Hailstone’s “Portraits” were originally issued in a very limited edition, and sets have always been extremely rare.
Harry Speight, Yorkshire author, purchased the few remaining sets of sheets, together with the photographic plates and
the copyright, around 1900, and made up a number of full sets and part sets, all bound in half morocco, for sale. His
own set, bound in full leather, contains a number of plates prepared by Hailstone but not included in the original issue,
together with some later portraits. This is therefore a unique and highly important collection. Many of the portraits
which Hailstone photographed are now lost or destroyed.
Provenance: this set remained in the family until the death of Harry Speight’s son William.

The personal narrative of the experiences of Maria Monk (d.1850) in the Hotel Dieu Nunnery in Montreal, as related
to Theodore Dwight. The work, a celebrated but particularly venomous and probably entirely fraudulent anti-catholic
tract of the times, has also been ascribed to J.J.Slocum (John Jay) and William K.Hoyte. Although it was reprinted in
vast quantities in very cheap editions, few have survived, and it has become rather diffi cult to fi nd in good condition.
