* [Penn, William]. The Testimonies of several Friends in London & Bristol relating to Charles Marshall's Medicines, Bristol, 2 October 1681 & London, 17 October 1681, contemporary manuscript copy giving testimonials for Charles Marshall from various Quakers, including Charles Jones, Richard Smead, Thomas Callowhill, Charles Jones Jr, with a codicil, 'Having perused ye above recommendation, I must needs say, it answer'd my frequent thoughts about those medicines: for, I must say, I have on myself in a peculiar manner, and on others, experimented by ye Blessing of ye Lord, a speedy and effectual relief, William Penn', further names added to testimonials include John Staples, John Harris, Richard Whitpane and Philip Theodore Lehmann, 2 pages with blank integral leaf and later ink docket, some dust-soiling and remains of album guard to inner margin of first page, folioQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: The Autograph Collection of Martha Spriggs (1777-1866). Medicine was one of the few professions open to Quakers and Charles Marshall (1637-1698) exemplified the Quaker involvement in medicine based on cures derived from natural products. It is thought that some of these testimonials may have been used in a printed broadsheet of 1681 promoting Marshall's products.

* Shakespeare (William). An English treen snuff box made by John Marshall, mid-19th century, small circular box made of mulberry wood, the lid bearing an ornamental 'S' initial and the inscription 'Shakespeare's Mulberry Wood' around the edge, the inside of the lid stamped 'J. M.', diameter approximately 6 cm acrossQTY: (1)NOTE:Shakespeare’s mulberry was felled around 1756, in what the biographer and diarist James Boswell described as an act of ‘gothick barbarity’ by the then owner of New Place, the Reverend Francis Gastrell. John Marshall was a carver and antiquarian in Stratford-on-Avon who, after the felling used the wood to create carved artefacts for his shop. Marshall's 1887 obituary reads: 'Mr. Marshall ... had many opportunities of acquiring wood that was in different ways associated with Shakespeare, which he occasionally made into such articles as boxes &c., and many are now possessed by eminent persons in all parts of the world'. For a discussion of the snuff boxes and other commemorative objects produced from the celebrated mulberry tree felled in Shakespeare's garden at New Place, see Helen R. Smith, David Garrick 1717-1779 (British Library, 1979), pp.24-30.

Marshall's house Tottenham/with...V Epping Forest in the distance/the artist's sons William and Johnnie with their mother/and the children of the late J. H. Stewart/Exhibited at Royal Academy price 25 gns/Painted by P. P. Marshall 1860"on the backboard, oil on board, 31.75cm x 45.75cmProvenance: Selected contents of 137 Gloucester Road, London.Note: Marshall is best known for having been a partner in the famous firm of 'Fine Art Workmen': Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. A hearty, extrovert character, he was born in Edinburgh and spent his early life in Liverpool. By profession he was a surveyor and sanitary engineer, but he painted in his spare time and exhibited at the Liverpool Academy. He was influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite paintings shown there in the 1850's, and married Gussy, daughter of John Miller, a Liverpool merchant of Scottish descent who was an enthusiastic patron of the Pre- Raphaelites themselves and their Liverpool followers. By 1861 he had settled in London, becoming a partner in the Morris firm when it was launched that year. He never played a very active role, but during the early 1860's he produced some ten or eleven cartoons for stained glass, being represented in such important commissions as St Michael's Brighton, St Martin's, Scarborough, and the east window of Bradford Cathedral. A.C. Sewter wrote that 'the best of his cartoons testify to a high degree of natural talent', and suggested that the influence of Rossetti on some of them might indicate that he attended Rossetti's evening classes at the Working Men's College (The Stained Glass of William Morris and his Circle, I, 1974, pp.73-4). However, his closest friend among the Pre-Raphaelites was Madox Brown, in whose diary he often appears (see Virginia Surtees (ed.), The Diary of Ford Madox Brown, 1981, passim). There is also an attractive glimpse of him and his family in Lady Burne-Jones's Memorials (1904, I, p. 238). 'It must have been in April of this year [1862] that we paid a Saturday to Monday visit to the Marshalls at Tottenham. A cheery, reckless household it was, with big Peter Paul ("Poll"was the sound his little wife gave to the name she called him) at the head of it: I remember a small cup of gunpowder being given to the boys to keep them quiet in the morning. Marshall sang the Scotch songs for which we always asked, and besides "Clerk Sauders"we got from him the beautiful tunes of "Sir Patrick Spens"and "Busk ye, busk ye, my bonny, bonny bride!"Marshall remained a partner of the firm until 1875, when it was re-organised and he was bought out. We last hear of him in 1877 when he made his first and only appearance at the Royal Academy with a portrait of Miss Bessie Currie. By this time he seems to have been living in Dartford, perhaps having retired.
