Charles Dodgson Senior

According to Lewis Carroll’s Diaries ( ed Edward Wakeling) Vol 1, pgs 16-17, the family had moved from Daresbury into Croft Rectory by February 1843 when Charles Dodgson Senior was presented to the living of Croft. Rev Charles Dodgson ( father of Lewis Carroll) had published various essays and sermons in pamphlet form and in The Carrollian issue 16 ( Autumn 2005) I describe two of these that I acquired , dating from around that period . Since then I have found two other CD senior pamphlets, shown in the pictures ; these are very rare and hard to find. They were often bound up in volumes and then sold as disbound items by booksellers.
