THOMAS SCOTT (19th-century)
Autograph journal signed: ("T.S.") and ("Thos.Scott"), twice, recording a two week period in Ireland between 20 February 1853 and 6 March 1853, small°4.
Based at Ballynahinch Castle inspecting and valuing the Martin estate, Scott travels and observes various aspects of Ireland from the beauty of the land: "which must be seen to be understood and admired" to agricuture, minerals, religion and social comment: "I could not help remarking how much more 'well-to-do like' the Tenants on it [farm owned by Trinity College, Dublin] looked, than those on the Martin Estate." Once back in London he adds a general summary symphathising with the Irish people and wishing them: "the power to enable their country to arise to a long and a glorious honour." (time staining and detached pages)
With an autograph House of Commons envelope signed: ("From The Right Honble H.J. Gladstone") addressed to: "T. Scott Esq 5 Charing Cross" (Browned, spotted, with a tear to House of Commons emblem)
