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.'.

1p., 4to. On bifolium. Aged and worn, with small spots at head and foot. Irving's signature is firm and bold. The only other words in his autograph are 'Dear Hall Caine', but there is slight offsetting of other writing by Irving on the blank second leaf. The circular is an invitation to be 'placed on the list of Stewards on the occasion of the Annual Dinner of "The Actors' Benevolent Fund," of which I am the President'. Irving will be in the chair, and the dinner will take place at the Whitehall Rooms, Hotel Metropole. 'The Fund is a very deserving one, and gives aid in a great number of cases to persons in theatrical life.' Hall Caine was a friend of Irving's secretary Bram Stoker (the author of Dracula).

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
The three items are in good condition, lightly aged. ONE: TLS, 15 March 1907. 4pp., 4to. He is sending a copy (i.e. Item Three below) of 'a complete statement of what has taken place up to date. In fact it is the actual statement I placed before my Solicitor this afternoon [] Of course this is what we might have expected from these people, and it does not come as a very great surprise. | It is a direct attempt to get out of their obligations, as they have done before, as they can get this new man, and have got him at something like £500 a year without an interest'. He explains that the previous afternoon he 'was asked by Sutton over the telephone to hand over the department to Leslie Wilson, but I thought that before doing this, I would see exactly what my legal position in the matter was, and whether my acquiescing in this would prejudice my case.' He names two firms of solicitors he cannot consult because of their association with Amalgamated Press, and gives details of the firm he has chosen, Fraser & Co., together with the opinion of 'Mr. Fraser' that 'Sutton's telphone message of yesterday afternoon instructing me to hand over the department to Leslie Wilson was tantamount to instant dismissal, as I have not yet received my notice'. He reports Fraser's advice on how to proceed, and asks 'to know now what you think I had better do [] Everybody who knows me thinks they are behaving disgracefully, but that it is only typical of them, and the only consolation one gets from people is "what did you expect".' He does not believe 'for one moment that they intend to stop the cloth covers, but what they would dearly love and what they will never get is my resignation'. They should not 'worry over this affair', as he is 'particularly bright', has 'these people on the hip', and is 'determined to make them pay for stealing my idea'. He reports that 'Lord Northwick is at present away, and can do nothing about the affair, he does not return for another six or eight weeks.' He turns to 'Derwent' (1891-1971), the son of his brother the novelist Hall Caine, who, having commenced on an acting career, is 'sending out letters broadcast to all the managers, past, present and future, and having exhausted all the second and third class managers is now circulating the "fit ups"', and will write to them himself to tell them 'how "The Prodigal" is going'. He ends by reassuring them that he 'will not be out of a job for I think Mr. Gruneisen has discovered a man willing to put up £5,000 to £10,000 to back the Frank Lovell scheme of publishing [Lovell, was a New York publisher noted for his cheap editions], and a literary agent with a great many well-known authors is willing to find us all the novels we require'. TWO: TLS, 18 April 1907. 2pp., 4to. He begins by expressing astonishment at the mystery of how Northcliffe 'or his people discovered that I had consulted a Solicitor [] I feel strongly that this is only an excuse to help them out of an otherwise hopeless situation. However, I think that an interview between Northcliffe and yourself might go a long way towards settling a dispute without the necessity of bringing the matter before a Judge and Jury'. He announces that he intends to postpone his trip to America until the autumn, as he would like 'to fix up with you and Mrs Humphrey Ward before leaving. I have already placed a proposal before Mrs Ward for her new book, and I believe she is very much inclined to look favourably upon it.' He next turns to Helen Mathers, who has 'practically decided to put her Novel with us.' He expects to hear from Mathers in the following days. While he anticipates 'having no difficulty in obtaining good works', he would like to see them 'and Mr. Sears together'. He ends with news of 'Derwent', who is 'doing nothing until your return'. THREE: Typed 'statement' referred to in Item One above. Undated. 3pp., 4to. Beginning: 'Early in September I proposed to Lord Northcliffe two schemes, one for publishing 2/6 novels and the other for publishing sixpenny reprints in cloth covers. He liked the scheme, but referred me to his brother Mr. Harold Harmsworth who he said would go into the financial aspect and decide whether they would undertake either or both of the schemes. | Lord Northcliffe at the time asked me what I proposed my position should be, and I told him that I should require to be the Editor, whereupon he said "and head of the department", to which I answered "yes", and he agreed that if arrangement was made this should be my position.' He continues with a description of the commencement of the scheme, with reference to 'Mr. G. N. Sutton', his 'offices at 2 & 4, Tudor Street', and 'Mr. Leslie Wilson'. Concludes: 'I also claim that if I do receive notice I have a very good case against the Amalgamated Press for it is easy to understand that when I undertook this work and gave my ideas, I did not anticipate being dismissed at the end of the first six months of my service i.e. that for six months pay I have given them an idea upon which they can make anything from £15,000 to £18,000.' Also included are a childish pencil note by RHC to his parents, regarding his schooling, and an ALS, written from Skye, in envelope postmarked 21 August 1905, in which he thanks them for the 'splendid birthday present' (of £50).

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
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.

Half title, 3pp ads. Orig. crimson cloth, blocked in black lettered in gilt; the odd sl. bump. Inscribed to Cecil Roberts from Hall Caine on leading f.e.p. A beautiful bright copy. First published in 1882, Caine brought out this revised version (dedicated 'to the memory of a great friendship') on the anniversary of Rossetti's birth 'to snatch back a little of the lost grace of a day which I had hoped would be a day of great rejoicing for the birth of a great soul into the world'. Caine was unswerving in his love for Rossetti, who encouraged him to pursue a career in letters and introduced him to many of the leading lights of London society. The recipient of this copy was the poet and journalist Cecil Roberts, now best remembered as a prolific and merciless namedropper; the cataloguer assumes he was pleased to be presented with a book by one of the bestselling novelists of the era, though his acquaintances may have tired of hearing about it.

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.'.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität Signiert
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'.

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'. There are four corrections, to be made to the 'Second', 'Fifth', '6th' and 'Concluding Article': 'Second Article / 2nd. Col: 4th paragraph / Read Provisional Government instead of Provincial / Fifth Article / 1st Col 4th paragraph / Spell / Vladimir / Kalouga / Ukraina / 6th Article / 2nd Col / 22 line / Read - / The American plan was to take a million children & provide for them for one month, & the British plan was to provide for two hundred thousand on the Border etc / Concluding Article / last col / 3rd paragraph / read / Constituent Assembly / instead of Constitutional'.
