2 TROLLOPE FAMILY THE TROLLOPE FAMILY The Anthony Trollope bicentenary catalogue is divided into three main sections, the first and largest of which is devoted to Anthony Trollope, The second section contains works by Anthony s mother, Frances Milton Trollope, ; the final section contains works by Anthony s older brother, Thomas Adolphus Trollope, Bibliographical works cited in this catalogue are as follows: THE TROLLOPE SOCIETY: SADLEIR, Michael: SADLEIR, Michael: SMITH, Walter E.: Anthony Trollope: A collector s catalogue (TSC) Trollope: A bibliography (Sadleir) XIX Century Fiction: A bibliographical record (Sadleir XIXC) Anthony Trollope: A bibliography of his first American editions (Smith) TODD, William B. & BOWDEN, Ann: Tauchnitz International Editions in English (Todd) TOPP, Chester W.: Victorian Yellowbacks & Paperbacks, (Topp) WOLFF, Robert Lee: Nineteenth-Century Fiction: A bibliographical catalogue (Wolff) AUTOGRAPH LETTERS & CARTES DE VISITE TROLLOPE, Anthony POST OFFICE PROCEDURE 1. ALS to My Dear Kate from Waltham House, Feb n.p. 37 lines, in blue ink, over two sides of single 8vo leaf. v.g. Not published in The Letters, Trollope, as a senior administrator for the post office, writes to Dear Kate (this may be Kate Field), in response to a solicitation for a position of work for a third party. He informs his correspondent, as regards the competition examination, there is no favour. It is not done at the post office. There is a separate office for this work at Westminster, and there is no regard whatsoever to the mode in which the cards have been nominated. Although his hands are tied with respect of securing a post, he does suggest that his influence counts for something once a position is offered:... if he be successful... we may do much in calling him into a good part of the establishment instead of a bad part. He adds, I will... also speak to Mr Tilley about him... and you may be sure he shall be kindly looked after. Trollope ends by encouraging the prospective employee to come to us, and adds that he would have an excellent friend in Mr Scudamore. Frank Scudamore was a post office administrator, and was promoted to assistant secretary of the organisation (much to Trollope s annoyance, as he felt he been overlooked for the position) later in John Tilley, Post Office official, and close friend of Trollope. He was married to Trollope s sister Cecilia until her death in ,200

3 TROLLOPE FAMILY 2. ALS to My Dear Mr Virtue from Waltham House, Aug 23, n.p. 12 lines, in black ink, on one side of 8vo leaf, laid down. v.g. Not published in The Letters, Trollope writes to the publisher James Virtue, expressing relief that an undisclosed problem has been resolved. He tells Virtue, I am very glad that that dreadful depredator has not succeeded in robbing us of our excellent & holy name. On the prospect of further complications, he states I trust that all coming attacks against us may be brought to grief as readily. The letter is signed Yours always Anthony Trollope. Virtue began publishing Saint Pauls Magazine, in October, edited by Trollope; the letter refers to problems prior to its launch, presumably relating to the name of the periodical itself ,200 FROM MILLAIS TO TROLLOPE ILLUSTRATING SAINT PAULS MAGAZINE 3. MILLAIS, John Everett. ALS from Millais to Dear Trollope, from 7 Cromwell Place, South Kensington, 22 Aug n.p. 37 lines, in blue ink, over two sides of single 8vo leaf. v.g. Millais writes to Anthony Trollope in response to a request to design a front wrapper for Saint Pauls Magazine, which was soon to be launched. He evidently had much on his plate, as he informs Trollope, A sight of my work is enough to dispel all hope of producing a cover, - I have had to undo 2 days work this morning, and I am dead tired. You know I have every wish to please you but the St Pauls is a very heavy straw to put upon a weary Camels back. He suggests in his place that [Frederick] Walker or [George] Dumaurier could do the thing admirably. He advises Trollope all you want is the upper part of [St. Paul s] Cathedral appearing above a fog on which the title appears. Beneath this description he has drawn a sketch of the front wrapper as he imagines it, the dome of the cathedral indeed emerging from a fog with the titles beneath. He suggests, the cover might be a tinder grey with the letters in bright scarlet - two colours which go well together. He signs the letter J Everett Millais, before adding by way of a postscript, the lines of the cathedral are so fine looking... that the cover will always look solid & respectable....

ALS to My Dear [Henry Merivale] Trollope, from Flexford House, March n.p. 28 lines, in blue ink, over two sides of single 8vo leaf. v.g. An engaging letter from the literary editor John Morley, to Henry Merivale Trollope, Anthony Trollope s son, on the subject of the serialisation of Anthony Trollope s latest work, The Eustace Diamonds. He informs Henry, I think the MS. interesting & important - but I am choked with stuff, and don t know how to clear myself up, as housemaids say, within the next six months. Morley was, as editor of the Fortnightly Review, part way through publishing a work by Frances Eleanor Trollope, Anthony s sister-in-law and Henry s aunt. Morley asks Henry if he wd. be so kind as to ask Mrs Trollope about the end of Anne Furness. The sooner it winds up the better for us, if, as I hope, we begin your father s in July. We have in ty/sc almost if not quite ample to fill up the two numbers after April. So it is time to move. The serialisation of Anne Furness eventually finished in August It overlapped by a month with The Eustace Diamonds, which was published from July February Henry Trollope trained as a lawyer, and was called to the Bar in He declined to practise though, instead, with the assistance of his father, procuring a partnership in the Chapman & Hall publishing house. On this subject Morley had a direct interest, as in 1871 he published, through Chapman & Hall, Critical Miscellanies. Sales had evidently been slow, with Morley challenging him on the price asked for the book: Surely 14/s is a monstrous high price for my... volume. He concedes that he is ignorant of the considerations which regulate such matters, and that a publisher knows his business better than I, but still suggests that had the volume been offered at 10/6 twice as many would have sold. Morley concludes by commenting, If you sell 300 at this price, I shall be excessively surprised - and my vanity tickled in like proportion

4 TROLLOPE FAMILY TROLLOPE, Frances FRANCES TO MISS STEVENS 5. ALS to Miss Stevens at 173 Corso, from an unknown location, dated only Wednesday morning. n.p. 26 lines, in black ink, on first two sides of folded 16mo leaf. Integral address leaf, and remains of old seal. The whole unusually folded to form a triangle. Frances Trollope writes to Miss Stevens in response to a certain act of kindness. 10,000 thanks to you my kind young friend for your thoughtful attention to me - I accept your offer gratefully.... She has evidently been informed of the intention of an acquaintance to travel; something which she seems to have anticipated: I was quite sure that the voyage of discovery would be made some day, and some way - a determined old lady is a forceful type of steadfast purpose, and there was a something in the look of her eye as she ever and anon lifted it to the face of our professor, which convinced me that she would sooner, or later, achieve her purpose. She goes on to observe, the region she has caused him [the aforementioned professor?] to perambulate may have been (until now) terra incognita, but can scarcely be classed among new discoveries. The letter is undated, but was perhaps written while Frances was resident in Florence in the 1830s. [c.1835?] ALS to Mr Petherell[?], from The Fell Side, 1st July n.p. 8 lines, in black ink, on first side only of single 8vo leaf; very lightly folded. v.g. A brief letter from Frances Trollope, in which she presents her compliments to Mr Petherell[?] and is happy to comply with his flattering request. It is signed Frances Trollope. The Fell Side was the address of Mr And Mrs Tilley, friends of the Trollopes in Cumbria Autograph of Frances Trollope, signed Carlton Hill, 3 August lines in black ink, cut from the base of an ALS TROLLOPE, Anthony Carte de visite portrait photographs 8.

The novel is set in Ireland, against a backdrop of poverty and civil unrest in the years immediately preceding the Potato Famine

Signed and dated, May 5, lines on recto of single quarto sheet. This page comes from Chapter one of Castle Richmond, first published in In a story of the Irish famine, Trollope opens the novel by attacking the common misconception of the Irish: That there is a strong feeling against things Irish it is impossible to deny. Irish servants need not apply... and Irish stories are not popular with the booksellers. For myself, I may say that I ought [to know] anything about any place, I ought to know something about Ireland; and I do strongly protest against the injustice of the above conclusions , Castle Richmond.

The primary binding for this second series is described as blue grained cloth, identical to that used for the first series, Sadleir mentions a curious secondary issue of both series of stories (in separate form) with the second series in maroon cloth, speculating late bind-up in probably the eighties. This binding is clearly earlier: we have seen a copy in similar green linen dated on endpaper Sept And the two stars at the tail of spine indicate uniform binding of first edition sheets alongside the first series.

Small booksellers ticket: Larner & Ward, London. TSC 36; Sadleir 31. One of Trollope s most enduring works, He Knew He Was Right is a long and detailed study of the gradual falling into madness of a suspicious husband (Sadleir). Trollope himself had reservations about the novel, stating in his autobiography I look upon the story as being nearly altogether bad. In his estimation he failed to portray a nuanced character in Louis Trevelyan, and focused too much on the evil which he does, rather than elicit any level of sympathy He Knew He Was Right.

The plot centres around the struggle for command of Gladstonopolis, and the attempts by the British to reimpose colonial rule. The fixed period alluded to in the title, is the useful life-span of the Britannula citizenry, after which point they are euthanised. Although set in the mid-20th century, Trollope shows relative restraint in terms of his imagined future, his inventiveness confined to developments in weaponry, improved global communication, the odd steam tricycle and a gladiatorial version of cricket , The Fixed Period.

Saint Pauls was established by James Virtue in 1867; an attempt to follow the lead of other publishing houses, through producing a literary periodical that would expand business and publicise his list. Trollope had misgivings about the enterprise, considering the marketplace saturated, but was induced to take up the editorship by an offer of 1000 per annum, and complete editorial control. Trollope managed to persuade a number of respected writers to contribute to the magazine (among them Mrs Oliphant and Charles Lever), and provided his own share of weighty copy, in the form of Phineas Finn, his political novel that ran from issue one through to issue twenty. Despite the calibre of its contributors, Saint Pauls failed to stand out among its competitors, and Virtue sold the title to Alexander Strahan in Trollope soon followed Virtue through the exit, Strahan briefly taking the editorial reins himself. The quality of contributor fell into inexorable decline, the last number of vol. 14, March 1874, being the magazine s final appearance. See also item BIOGRAPHY & CRITICISM 276. aproberts, Ruth.
