YATES Edmund His recollections and experiences ... 1st edition, 2 volumes expanded to 16 with the insertion of additional plates, autograph letters and ephemera associated with Yates and his circle, each vol. with a specially printed additional title prepared by the compiler, half red morocco, t.e.g., others uncut, 8vo., London: Richard Bentley 1884 and 13 others. [29] Note: The novelist and editor of a number of journals, Edmund Yates (1831-1894) was born in Edinburgh during a tour of his father's theatrical company. After securing a position in the Post Office, he became increasingly involved with a number of the kind of serial publications such as The Keepsake in which the Victorian age so delighted. Through his literary endeavours and other contacts he became friendly with many of the leading writers of the age, including Dickens, and contributors to the London literary scene. The idea of having a "Gossip column" in a respectable paper originated with Yates and he first experimented with a column in the Illustrated Times entitled "The lounger at the club". In 1874, he launched The World , a respectable social paper which ran for a number of years and brought Yates success and prosperity, although the publication of libellous remarks about the Earl of Lonsdale resulted in his being sent to prison. (The collection includes letters written from Holloway Prison.) His memoirs are described by the DNB as "full of interesting memories, but especially entertaining as regards London in the forties, Charles Dickens Sir Rowland Hill, Anthony Trollope, and the early writers for "Punch" or its comic rivals." The present collection assembled by A.M. Broadley who was associated with Yates and The World from 1885 to Yates' death, comprises several hundred autograph letters, signed photographs, contemporary prints (including a number in colour), dozens of theatre handbills and tickets, menus, obituary notices for Yates, and other ephemera. The collection includes a copy of Yates' My haunts with the coloured wrapper (vol. 5) and Mr. Thackeray, Mr. Yates, and the Garrick Club printed for private circulation by Yates in 1859 explaining the circumstances of his being expelled from the Garrick Club following the publication in Town Talk of some very unflattering remarks about Thackeray. Amongst the autograph letters are correspondence acquired by Broadley from many representatives of the age in the fields of art, theatre, literature, the law and politics. Many of the personages are also represented in the number of Spy cartoons throughout the volumes. On the theatrical side are letters or signed photographs from Phineas T. Barnum, Patti, Arthur Sulivan, Henry Irving, Ellen Terry etc. Amongst letters from members of the aristocracy are letters from Cardigan, Rosebery, Devonshire, Dufferin, Westmorland, the Countess of Blessington, Leighton, Derby, Lonsdale, Esher, etc. Politicians include Lord Randolph Churchill, Sir Robert Peel and Viscount Melbourne. The collection is rich in literary autographs of the period including letters from Charles Dickens Mary Russell Mitford, Mrs Gaskell, Tom Moore, Samuel Rogers, and the publisher Richard Bentley There is a note from J.G. Lockhart refering to the health of Sir Walter Scott There are, of course, numerous letters and notes from Yates himself and the Sotheby's catalogue selling his library 21 January 1895.
