One copy annotated on reverse by R.S. Chalk, as follows:
'1918-1924
This would be the ante-room at the Head of Ashburnham Staircase (see L.E. Tanner, p20). The busts are those of Southey and W. Hastings, with the H.M’s chair. About 1922 (under A.T. Willett) this was converted to a Chess Room, the strict rule of silence up Lib being waived to allow the call “Check!”
In the ‘Novel Room’ adjoining were displayed various items presented to the School (see L.E.T. pp22-3). There come to mind the rudder of the VIII of 1845, the trireme cast, the bust of Sir Fras. Burdett. Also (not listed by L.E.T.) a block of (?) quartz from Ammon inscribed:- ‘OI ΠAYΛOY M’EΔOΣAN TOIΣ ΠETPAIOIΣI ΛIΘOYPΓOIΣ / ΠPIN ΔIOΣ AMMWNOΣ KEIMENON EN ΘEMEΘΛOIΣ’ (I once met an Old Pauline who explained its origin.) Similar blocks were presented to the Freemasons of five other Public Schools.'

A scathing criticism of slavery as a practice; an argument in favour of emancipation
Manuscript pamphlet entitled: Some remarks on slavery and prize goods recommended to the serious perusal and impartial consideration of the citizens of the united states and others concerned. 9 + 2 leaves (17 pages in length, with the 4 probably being a first draft). Most probably an essay, for a general audience, this text seeks to dismantle slavery by emphasising its immorality, particularly with a rather Platonic series of 'queries' and 'answers' before ending with a rallying call to arms in the form of telling the oppressed to 'pursue emancipation'
Hicks, Elias, 1748-1830
