Item 23 - Notebook containing Lascelles Abercrombie's "Hymn to Love" and "Mary and the Bramble", and Thomas Sturge Moore's "Mariamne"

"Museum Note Book" by Clarke & Davies, 38 Museum St WC; 32 ff, many blank pages.

Pages 3-7: full quotation from 'Franklin's Works, Sparks, 1836' ["Works of Benjamin Franklin", edited by Jared Sparks, Vol II p 166-167"] of a letter about a 'Proposed new version of the Bible", with old and new versions of "Job" 1.1-11.

Pages 9-17: text of Lascelles Abercrombie's "Mary and the Bramble"

From the other end of the book in: text of Abercrombie's "Hymn to Love" (2pp), 4 blank pages, then Act V of Thomas Sturge Moore's "Mariamne".

"Mary & the Bramble" is written on the front of the notebook, "Herod & Mariamne, 1898"on the back cover. Possible that some or all of this book is in Lascelles Abercrombie's hand: see 1/30, a letter from Abercrombie to Trevelyan dated 25 May [1910] in which he returns Sturge Moore's play - perhaps a reference to "Mariamne" and sends "Mary and the Bramble", as well as 1/32, a letter dated 16 Aug [1910], in which Abercrombie is pleased that Trevelyan liked the "Hymn [to Love]".
