Morley's holograph notes on letter. Written to Norman Cousins. Exceptional literary content. Important material relating to Dr. William Osler, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes. This is an unpublished and largely unknown letter of great significance to both the Holmesian and Oslerian communities. Morley, a prolific writer and one of the founders of the Baker Street Irregulars, revered Doyle and his Holmes and was well aware of Doyle's admiration of Oliver Wendell Holmes. In this letter is the first “printed” notation linking the Holmes. Of equal significance is Morley's recollections of Dr. Osler upon his death. The letter ends with a not so subtle Whitman reference. It is an wonderful letter and an exceptional addition to either a Sherlockian or Oslerian collection.

There are a remarkable collection of items laid in, including signed letter, "...I am bewildered by the success of "The Amenities." A second edition of 5000 copies was printed..." and the suppressed plate of Dr. Johnson and Bossy, which was too "risqué" to be included in the published volume. Wonderfully, there is a May 18, 1925, letter from B. W. Smith at the Atlantic Monthly Bookshop to Frank Hatch saying, in brief, "We can well appreciate your desire to add a first edition "Amenities" to your valuable collection of Newton, material!

Quite famously, this book contains a reference to Bernard Quaritch on page 195 which resulted in a law suit against Newton and a great deal of controversy.

An extended essay, based on two papers presented to the Arts Society at Newnham and the Odtaa at Girton in 1928. Too long to be read in full, they were combined and expanded into this volume. Herein, Woolf addresses her thoughts on "the question of women and fiction." In A Room of One's Own, Woolf suggests that the key to be able to create artistic work requires that "a woman must have money and a room of her own." The Spectator sums the significance of this volume up aptly, stating: "Future historians will place Mrs. Woolf's little book besides Mary Wollstonecraft's The Rights of Women and John Stuart Mill's The Subjection of Women. It does for the intellectual and spiritual liberation of women what those works did for the political emancipation. But A Room of One's Own outshines them both in genius." A very handsome copy.
