When my uncle (Harry Isaac WOOLGAR (1920-2002) died we found a little treasure trove of family items amongst his possessions. One was the KILHAM family bible (described in Sussex Family Historian Vol 17 No 5, March 2007). Recently my attention turned to one of the other books.
This one is tastefully bound in red, and it must be admitted showed little sign of being read since its publication in 1907! It was printed for private circulation amongst the family which I suspect means it was what we would call today 'a vanity publication'. The book is titled Thoughts on various subjects in prose and verse together with A sketch of my life and is by Stephen HUBBARD of Hastings. The book has the handwritten dedication 'Mrs and Miss KILHAM with the author's best wishes'.
