Charles Eyre Pascoe: a bibliography

This short bibliography lists printed works attributed to Pascoe which are now available online in order of publication date. Some of these titles are effectively serials, reappearing annually with some modification but essentially the same content. The list does not include all such re-issues. Download links are included where possible. Where a title is not available online, I have indicated its shelf mark in the British Library, or a link to its entry in the Bodleian catalogue.

Periodical contributions

Pascoe was a prolific contributor to magazines, both American and English. Many of these contributions were subsequently recycled as book-length publications. A few titles listed here are not explicitly credited to Pascoe, though there is good reason to believe he was their author. Many titles mentioned elsewhere are yet to be traced. For those which have been found online, a link is provided below.

Newspaper correspondence

Pascoe was also an indefatigable writer of letters to the editor. His letters suggest he held solidly middle class views, intensely patriotic, but tinged with "liberalism". The following letters are available in transcribed form.

1867 "The Reception of the Belgians." letter to the editor Royal Cornwall Gazette. (May 16, 1867) Issue 3331, p. 6 1884 “American Payments to English Authors” letter in The Athenaeum.

Untraced works

Pascoe's name appears sporadically as author of many items not yet traced. Some of these may be ghostly works that never existed, but it seems fair to assume that the others were simply over looked by library collectors and cataloguers of such ephemera.

The Hearth and Home : The Great Illustrated Home Paper. This number is very Full of Good Things. Part of contents... "Case of Jewels by Charles Eyre Pascoe" Advert in Hearth and Home, 1872 In this connection it gives us pleasure to announce that we have entered into an arrangement with Mr. Charles Eyre Pascoe, of London, whereby he is to furnish for early publication a paper on The Potters and Potteries of Staffordshire. Mr. Pascoe's... The Boston Courier, July 9 1876 Later [Pascoe] came to England as [the Boston Daily Globe's] “Special Correspondent,” and was also accredited correspondent of Appleton's (New York) Journal, and the American Art Journal, and was appointed the Reviser in England of all the numerous articles of British Biography and Topography appearing in the “American Cyclopaedia,” published in 16 volumes octavo (New York, D. Appleton & company). He was specially deputed to write a series of papers for a periodical Appleton's (New York) Journal, on the Municipal Government of London, and on the English Prisons System; and from 1874 to 1880 was occupied in London in contributing solely to American journals and periodicals on English topics. Among these were articles for the New York Herald on the Marquess of Lorne, when first appointed Governor-General of Canada, and the Lord Chief Justice (Coleridge) when about to visit the United States specially undertaken. (Claims made in CEP's application to the Royal Literary Fund in 1906.) ... such eminent writers as Bret Harte, Miss Harriet A. Spofford, Miss Susan Coolidge, Charles Eyre Pascoe, Miss M. E. W. Sherwood, and Miss Helen S. Conant have been secured as contributors [to new Fashions magazine published by Almy Bigelow & Washburn] Manchester Cricket Oct 17 1891 Charles Eyre Pascoe an Englishman who has been visiting America, writes to the London Daily News that the present depression in the States is due not to tariff or money, but to the bicycle craze. The bicycles are a curse to the country :— Every shop girl on $4 or $5 a week, every office boy and all the young counter-skippers must own a bike apiece, and they buy them on the instalment plan, paying $10 down and from $2 to $5 a week until they are paid for, with Interest. The result is that millions and millions of dollars are being withdrawn from the normal course of trade and delivered into this one branch, and other people find it extremely difficult to get money to live on. As England and France also have a bicycle craze and without the extreme business depression that prevails here, this explanation needs to be explained. One would suppose from this theory that the money [rest of article lost] American journal, source unknown, dated 1897 Fiction in Newspapers wasn’t new when Col Taylor began his experiment which was to revolutionize the newspaper practices of his times; and even in the Globe’s own first weeks—back in 1872 —it had printed a short story called “Love and Madness” by its staff editor Charles Eyre Pascoe.
