[AUTOGRAPH ALBUM] Victorian Autograph Album Containing Numerous Letters and Clipped Signatures

GEORGE CANNING, LORD PALMERSTON, ROBERT PEEL AND OTHERS

A late 19th century Victorian autograph album, red morocco double-ruled in gilt with ‘Autographs E. T.’ stamped to centre of front board; pale yellow endpapers; all edges gilt; containing over 100 pages of affixed autographs, manuscript notes, letters, death notices, clipped signatures and more; along with many other blank pages and notes loosely inserted; some pages fully or partially, excised, likely contemporaneously; binding worn and rubbed with spine now detached and lacking; hinges cracked but holding. 

An intriguing collection of autographs dating to the late 19th century and featuring a host of various famous, important, and popular figures of the day, mostly from the world of Politics and Literature. I have been able to identify:
