Leigh (James Henry). Poems on Several Occasions, 1st edition, London: T. Hookham, 1790, contemporary inscription in ink to title-page following author's name 'M. P. of Adlestrop House Gloucestershire & - Stoneleigh Abbey, Warwickshire', occasional contemporary ink marginalia and one or two corrections to text, some scattered foxing, final leaf (with publisher's advertisements on verso) with short tear in fore-edge, paper fault crease to several leaves, bookplates of Frederick Leigh Colville and Julia Leigh on front pastedown, contemporary ink inscription on front free endpaper 'By my Grandfather - F.LC', sprinkled edges, 19th century brown half calf, rubbed, slim 4to QTY: (1)NOTE:Rare book of poems by a cousin of Jane Austen, James Henry Leigh, once owned by Leigh's grandson; only Oxford University located on COPAC, and no other copy traced at auction.Jane Austen was related to the Leighs of Adlestrop Park and Stoneleigh Abbey through her mother, Cassandra Leigh. James Henry Leigh inherited Adlestrop Park in 1774 when he was only nine years old. His uncle and guardian, Reverend Thomas Leigh, was Cassandra Leigh's cousin, and he held the living of Adlestrop. The Austens were close to Reverend Leigh's family, and Jane Austen visited the Adlestrop estate at least three times: in 1794 for the first time, when she was 19; five years later, in 1799; and then in 1806, when she was 31. Much of what Jane experienced during her interactions with her Leigh relations was woven into her writings. Reverend Thomas, for example, employed Humphry Repton to landscape the grounds of Adlestrop, paying him five guineas a day, a detail Jane later wrote with great comic effect into Mansfield Park. One subject which is a recurring theme in Austen's novels is of course the thorny matter of inheritance, and one which came to the forefront during what one relative called the 'palpable scramble for Stoneleigh'. In fact, during the Austens' visit to Adlestrop of 1806, the subject of who was to inherit magnificent Stoneleigh Abbey was under hot debate, the Honourable Mary Leigh having just died. Reverend Leigh was the main contender to succeed, and he travelled with Mrs Austen and her two daughters to stay at the Abbey. On arrival Jane's mother counted the windows of the west front - much like Mr Collins, who in Pride and Prejudice tells Lizzy Bennet how many windows Rosings has. Mrs Austen and her two unmarried daughters had great hopes that the distribution of wealth from Stoneleigh would benefit them, but alas, despite there being riches on an almost unimaginable scale - and Stoneleigh under the stewardship of Reverend Leigh and his nephew James Henry became even more prosperous - Jane and her sister did not receive a penny.

Wodehouse (P.G.) Psmith USA, autograph manuscript of his novel "Psmith, Journalist", signed at end and dated "11 November 1909, Hotel Earle, 103 Waverley Place", 175pp. comprising Chapters I-XIII (pp.1-92), lacking the last few lines of XIII; Chapters XVI-XX (pp.110-150); Chapters XXV-XXX (new pagination pp.1-42, with a p.18a but no p.19, fair copy with with occasional corrections, often in pencil, light browning to leaves, very occasional chipping with loss to the odd letter, some creasing and occasional fraying, each leaf preserved in individual acid-free archival pocket, housed together in custom archival drop-back box, 4to, New York, 1909.*** The autograph manuscript of an early Wodehouse novel from the author's crucial breakthrough period when he found his voice as the great comic novelist of the 20th century. Wodehouse manuscripts are rare at auction, especially so from such an important stage of the writer's career. The character of Psmith was introduced by Wodehouse in the second half of Mike (1909). The character, with suave sophistication, unflappable temperament and dry wit, was a departure from schoolboy characters that had characterised Wodehouse's early career and was popular with readers. Wodehouse swiftly revisited the character in Psmith in the City (serialised October 1908 - March 1909) before making a second trip to New York where he successfully sold two stories for $500. The income from this sale far exceeded his usual rate and encouraged the author to stay in the city to take advantage of the lucrative American market. It was with this aim in mind that "Psmith USA" (changed on p. 71 of the present manuscript to the published Psmith, Journalist) was begun.While Wodehouse sold several stories in the US he was unable to establish a permanent relationship with any publisher that might have guaranteed an income and therefore returned to the UK in 1910. Still however hoping to appeal to his transatlantic readers, he combined a reworking of the plot of the present work with a romance, to be published in the US as The Prince and Betty, 1912 (quite different from the work of the same name that appeared in the UK). The three missing chapters from the present manuscript would appear (in reworked form) at the end of the US edition of The Prince and Betty. Psmith, Journalist would be serialised in The Captain from October 1909 to March 1910, before finally appearing in book form in 1915 (see lot XXX).
