Volume of letters written to Charles Edward Tisdall

Manuscripts

A bound volume of letters and autographs from eminent contemporaries, the majority addressed to Tisdall; there are also clippings and printed material. Tisdall often included biographical notes and information about each letter writer; the inside front cover has the bookplate of "Rev Doctor Tisdall" and the title page contains the notes and signatures of Bertram Forsyth, English actor and dramatist. Please note: a previous owner cut and tore numerous pages from the volume so from an original total of 84 pages only 38 remain; the spine and corners have some damage.
