2110924 Wilton Crescent London. 28 February 1842. 4pp. 4to. Bifolium with mourning border. In fair condition lightly aged with short closed tears at edges of some folds. An excellent letter indignantly countering what must be the most serious accusation one historian can level against another that of making 'false quotations'. The recipient is not named but from the context is undoubtedly the Headmaster of Rugby School Thomas Arnold who since the previous year had held the Regius Professorship of History at Oxford and would die four months later on 12 June 1842. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir You will not I am certain consider it as a liberty if I address you a few lines on the subject of an allusion last word underlined to a passage in my History of the Middle Ages which I understand you to have made in a recent lecture at Oxford. The great respect which I bear to you will be a sufficient excuse; for in an ordinary case I should have waited for publication of the lecture & made my observations then or not as I might have thought it expedient'. He does not have 'an exact knowledge of what you said concerning me' but assures Arnold of the 'very great annoyance' he felt when 'Dr Buckland i.e. the geologist and cleric William Buckland 1784-1856 some weeks since told me in his jocular language “Dr Arnold has been blowing you up for false quotations'. He did not have 'the slightest notion what was the specific charge' but considered it 'a most serious imputation upon any writer' and subsequently 'obtained some information' from 'Dr. B.' 'vague indeed but enough to make me conjecture that your charge related to the well-known passage in Eligius. This has been confirmed since by a letter which a friend of mine received from Oxford; but the words said to have been used by you are very loosely given from memory. It appears however that you spoke in very handsome terms of my general character as a faithful historian'. Arnold has almost certainly overlooked the fact that 'in the fourth edition of my work & in all that followed I have retracted the error into which I had been led so far as it was an error in the fullest manner; not silently correcting or omitting the passage but leaving it as it stood with a note acknowledging it to be highly exaggerated in consequence of the wrong interpretation which through Mosheim's quotation many besides myself had put upon the original writer's meaning. On reading this note again after several years it appears to me that I have gone to the utmost in saying that the passage quoted by Mosheim ought never to be applied again; for in reality it is one of importance & serves to confirm what Mosheim himself has said though Maclaine & those who followed him went much farther than it would warrant.' He discusses a Latin sentence declaring: 'I need not add that this was no false quotation nor even a garbled one on the part of Mosheim who gave an entire - still less on my part who only quoted him & Robertson.' He ends by declaring his expectation that 'when your lectures go to the press you will do me the justice of taking notice' that he has corrected 'the error into which I had been led'. In conclusion he observes for the purpose of bring his work 'to the public eye it has been absolutely necessary to give modern authorities'. 24 Wilton Crescent [London]. 28 February 1842. unknown

11871On letterhead of The Deanery Norwich. 9 January 1873. 4pp. 12mo. 51 lines of text. Bifolium. On aged paper. The context is explained by the fact that until 1927 one canonry in the cathedral establishment of Norwich was attached to the Mastership of St. Catharine's College. The letter begins: 'I have requested the Master of Catherine sic Charles Kirkby Robinson to read you two letters from Canon Nisbet which will show you how very litle prospect there is of our getting permission from the Ecclesiastical Commissioners to spend any part of the money gained by our sale of the Barracks in the improvement of our Canonry Houses. This creates an embarrassment; for the question arises how we shall raise the money required for the purchase of the remainder of Mrs. Morse's lease unless we come upon the Barrack money.' Goulburn now describes how he and 'Heaviside' have pressed the Master to determine 'whether he will take Mrs. Morse's house; for if he declines to do so that will make the question still more embarrassing since in that case the £500 set apart for the removal of his present House and the making good the cloister will of course not be available. And I have further expressed the hope that he will be able to see his way to a move on the public grounds of freeing our beautiful Cloister from its present disfigurement. As soon as he has made up his mind I shall crave your kind permission to call a Chapter at your rooms.' He thanks him for his 'most interesting and if I may so say edifying Preface to the Catalogue - made doubly or trebly valuable by your kind inscription therein. I cannot say how highly I value the possession of such a document.' He will send 'the Bishop of Derry's Sermon': 'He could not have said any thing wh. wd. tell more in a place like this where you are so much revered and loved.' He complains of his duties 'as Editor to correct the press of these Sermons; and if another man's proofs always give one a little trouble much more do an Irishman's. And my good friend tho' very brilliant as an orator is very Hibernian.' On letterhead of The Deanery, Norwich. 9 January 1873. unknown

Sharp's gift is 'kind and acceptable' and Goulburn hopes 'soon to call upon Mrs Sharp and yourself and acknowledge your kindness in person'.

Accompanied by a long manuscript bioigraphical note on two parts of an envelope written while Goulburn was still alive. No place, 15 October 1862. unknown
