Roberts
(George) LETTER to George Roberts from an acquaintance signing himself 'W.
Sharling'(?), dated Roseville, Feby. 12th, 1842, 4p, 4to. Thanks Roberts for
the gift of 'the gigantic potatoes', says he is delighted to be able to help
with his proposed work on Monmouth. Offers to send him a much better plan, on
a larger scale, and some skethes, and gives him detailed information on one
of the weapons used by the rebels 'the Rhine scythe.... I suppose when at
Weston we could have seen one of them in almost every cottage and Farm house
and also another weapon called the staff-hook which is an old reap-hook fixed
on a long pole for the purpose of cutting the bottom weeds from the
ditches.... of course they were taken as the first formidable weapons at
hand....' He claims his own information is more reliable than Lock's (author
of 'The Western Rebellion') '.... in one instance my information was from a
Tailor who died last year at the age of 96 whose Master (Tailor Arthur) was a
Boy keeping sheep on the moor at the time the Battle was fought - Wade knew
not the situation of the Rhines &c which were by no means deep at that
time of the year....' Offers to procure a drawing of 'the sword of Mary
Bridge'. 1842. £65.00 Roberts book on the Rebellion 'The Life Progresses, and
Rebellion of James, Duke of Monmouth' was published in 1844. Roberts also
wrote books on Lyme Regis, the Axe, etc. |

Bath LETTER
from S. M. Siddons, Bath, July 19th, 1801, to a Miss Wilkinson, Blake Street,
York. 3p, 4to, folded, with address panel on verso, black Bath postmark
'Bath' and '109' in box, first page rather browned, restoration to blank area
at bottom of second leaf, with portion of new paper inserted. She
commiserates with her friend on her mother's illness and says she hopes 'your
next Letter will bring me good tidings, and that I shall see my dear Patty
arrive with my Mother at Bath in less now that a fortnight'. She writes of
her uncle and Mrs Kemble's visit to Bath 'I never saw my Uncle so chearful
and like other people, and she was quite agreeable and did not overwhelm us
with Lords, Ladies, Balls, and suppers. Mrs. Twiss too is become quite kind,
nay affectionate to me since I got well....' She continues with a description
of the singer 'Betty Sharp', and dull visits to the Palmers and the Lees. She
says Cecy (presumably her sister Cecilia) is going to school 'and it is
almost time she should for she is got so riotous nobody can manage her when I
am out of the way for Patty is too good-natured to her'. She also refers
briefly to George (her brother). 1801. £90.00 ¶ Mrs. Siddons had five
children. At this time she was acting in London, while Mr Siddons (from whom
she was unofficially separated) remained in Bath. Sarah was to die two years
after this letter was written. Years earlier 'In her farewell address in
Bath, written by herself in verse she (Mrs Siddons) brought onto the stage
her three children, Henry, Sarah and Maria, and introduced them to the
audience.' (D.N.B) The uncle referred to is Francis Twiss, the Shakesperian
scholar, who was married to Mrs Siddons' sister Fanny. (D.N.B) |
