Sir Thomas Phillipps (1792-1872) of Middle Hill, eccentric collector of books and manuscripts; Sir Charles Hastings (1794-1866)Biblio.com

Sir Thomas Phillipps of Middle Hill eccentric book and manuscript collector complains of having been 'plundered' by a Worcester lawyer. Autograph Letter Signed 'Thos Phillipps' to the wife of Sir Charles Hastings in reply to an invitation.

21433'M H i.e. Middle Hill 12 Aug. no year but after Sir Charles Hastings' 1850 knighthood'. 3pp 16mo. On bifolium. In fair condition lightly aged. Phillipps's letter or draft letter is a reply to a dinner invitation from the wife of the eminent Worcester physician Sir Charles Hastings. It occupies the reverse of the first leaf and both sides of the second leaf of the bifolium. The recto of the first leaf carries the invitation in manuscript with the text in square brackets printed in copperplate: 'Sir Charles & Lady Hastings Request the pleasure of Sir Thos & Lady Phillipps' Company at Dinner on Thursday the 28th. Inst. Six oclock An answer will oblige. Worcester Augt. 12th.' Phillipps begins his reply: 'Dr Lady Hastings Lady P is in such distress respecting the serious illness of her Brother in law that I take up her Pen to return her & my best thanks for the kind invitation wch yr self & Sir Chas. have done us the honor to send for the 28th inst.' As the Phillippses do not 'know how his illness might terminate' even 'in the best case' they will not be able to 'come to the Worcester Music Meeting; for a Worcester Lawyer has plundered me of all my spare Cash & what is worse has done nothing for it.' He hopes she 'will be able to fill our vacant seats with some more wealthy persons who will be beneficial to the Meeting.' The letter is signed 'Very faithfully Yours Thos Phillipps'. Hastings founded the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association – now the British Medical Association – in 1832. Phillipps was notoriously eccentric and irascible. See his entry in the Oxford DNB and Munby 'Phillipps Studies' 5 vols 1951-1960. From the distinguished autograph collection of Richard Hunter son of Ida Macalpine whose collection of 7000 books relating to psychiatry is in Cambridge University Library. Macalpine and Hunter had a particular interest in the illness of King George III and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' 1969 suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

Beilby Porteus (1731-1809), Bishop of London [Thomas Maurice (1754-1824), Assistant Keeper of Manuscripts at the British Museum,Biblio.com

Beilby Porteus Bishop of London. Five Autograph Letters Signed all ‘B. London’ to Thomas Maurice of the British Museum two with detailed criticism of Maurice’s poem on Pitt the Younger.

255981798 1800 2 1806 and 1807 the last apparently a mistake for 1806. The first from St Jamesâ€™s Square the last from Clifton the others from Sundridge Kent. See the two menâ€™s entries in the Oxford DNB. The five items are in good condition lightly aged with each on a 4to bifolium and all folded for postage. In a neat and attractive hand. The text of each letter is on the first leaf and the first two letters are addressed by Porteus on the reverse of the second leaf each with broken seals in red wax. In Letters Four and Five Porteus lays out his objections to Mauriceâ€™s â€˜Elegy on the late Right Honourable William Pittâ€™ published in 1806 under the name â€˜T. M.â€™ ONE St Jamesâ€™s Square 10 April 1898: 1p 4to. Addressed to â€˜Revd. Mr Maurice / No. 19. Princes Street / Cavendish Squareâ€™. He is â€˜overwhelmed by Businessâ€™ but hopes to read Mauriceâ€™s letter and two pamphlets â€˜when I move into the Countryâ€™. â€˜The Point you are labour is a curious & important one & I have little doubt of your being able to substantiate your opinion.â€™ TWO Sundridge 26 August 1800: 2pp 4to. Mauriceâ€™s letter arrived while he was â€˜on a Visit in Oxfordshireâ€™. He thanks him for the enclosed preface â€˜which I hope will finish your Labours & afford you Leisure to attend more to your Healthâ€™. â€˜It is to be lamented that the Situation at the Museum which most of your Friends thought peculiarly adapted to you is become unpleasant to you; & I think it will deserve a little further consideration from you before you resolve upon Exchanging it even if you were permitted. That Permission does not rest solely with the Archbishop; but if you continue in the same mind when I return to London in the Winter & have an opportunity of seeing the Archbishop I will have some conversation with his Grace on the subject & will communicate to him your wishes.â€™ THREE Sundridge 26 September 1800: 1p 4to. Franked to â€˜Revd Mr Maurice / British Museum / Londonâ€™ from â€˜Sevenoakes - August / Twenty Six. 1800 B. Londonâ€™. He has returned from â€˜a Visit in Hampshireâ€™ to find â€˜the five last Volumes of the Indian Antiquities which you was so obliging as to send me; & of which I beg that I may be allowed to pay the current Priceâ€™â€™. As Maurice has communicated his wishes â€˜to the ABp & Bp of Lincolnâ€™ Porteus will â€˜not fail to converse with them on that subject when we meetâ€™. FOUR Sundridge 4 September 1806: 2pp 4to. He is sending a bankerâ€™s draft for ten guineas. â€˜I have read your Elegy on Mr Pitt & think it has great merit & is written in the true Poetical energy & ardor. To a few expressions & a few lines I have some objectionsâ€™. One of these is Porteusâ€™s use of the word â€˜saviourâ€™: â€˜too strong & too sacred an expression to be applied to any human Being however greatâ€™. He goes into greater detail in explaining why it is â€˜going too farâ€™ to suggest that â€˜any of the Human Race immediately after Death is appointed to â€˜Minister to Heavenâ€™s Eternal Kingâ€™â€. Regarding one turn of expression: â€˜There are acts of Power that belong solely to the Almighty; & the last expression is so peculiarly appropriated to our blessed Lord that it is surely very improper to preidcate it of any other Person whatever.â€™ While he is sure that no offence was meant he urges Maurice to â€˜reconsider & removeâ€™ all â€˜ambiguityâ€™. FIVE Clifton 26 August 1807 but the year apparently a mistake for 1806: 2pp 4to. Having received a â€˜pacquet by the Bristol Mailâ€™ he laments that Maurice has not followed his advice â€˜both with respect to the Mode of Publication & the Alteration of the Passage to which I objected. - By printing the Poem at your own risque sic on so large & expensive a scale you will I fear again involve yourself in difficulties which you will not easily surmount: & by retaining the Objectionable Line you will I am persuaded prejudice many serious Persons against your Poem which in other respects has considerable merit. - Indeed in looking again at the whole of the Portrait you have drawn of that truly great man whom you celebrate & of whom I think as highly as any man can possibly do I perceive several other expressions which appear to me objectionable - no mortal man however great & good should be dignified with the sacred name of the Saviour of his Country p.117 which should be appropriated solely to the Saviour of the World. Nor should the Almighty be represented as displaying to one of his own Creatures all his vast designs p.122. Nor can any dead Man be the Guardian or Protector of Kingdoms & Empires. P.123. This Power belongs to God alone.â€™ He gives Maurice â€˜full credit for not meaning any Thing improper by such expressionsâ€™ and is â€˜willing to make all due allowance for the Enthusiasm of a Poet & the flights of an ardent Imagination. But still when he treads so close on hallowed Ground he must proceed with great caution & reverential Awe & not ascribe to any human Being those properties & Powers which are the peculiar Attributes of the omnipotent Sovereign of the Universeâ€™. He ends by stating that he is only writing to Maurice out of an interest â€˜for your Credit & that of your Poemâ€™ â€˜for indeed in my present precarious state of Health I find writing very inconvenient to me; & it is therefore now my wish that this matter may rest here & that nothing more may be said on the Subject either on your part or mine.â€™ 1798, 1800 (2), 1806 and 1807 (the last apparently a mistake for 1806). The first from St James’s Square, the last from Clifto unknown

Julius Parnell Gibson Keeper of Manuscripts British Museum. Two Autograph Letters Signed and one Autograph Note Signed all three 'J. P. Gibson' to an unnamed woman regarding a collection of 'old deeds' for which he makes an unsuccessful offer.

15903All three on letterhead of the Department of Manuscripts British Museum London WC. 4 14 and 17 December 1912. Casting an interesting sidelight on the purchasing practices of the British Museum Manuscripts Department. All three items in good condition on lightly-aged paper. Totalling 6pp. 12mo. On three bifoliums. ONE: ALS. 4 December 1912. 3pp. 12mo. As it is 'difficult to advise without further information as to the nature of the old papers' he invites her to 'send them up' so that he can 'report whether there is any probability of their purchase by the Trustees of the British Museum'. If they are 'bulky' he suggests sending 'specimens'. 'Are they deeds local records correspondence private or public' He gives an address advises sending by registered post 'or insured by rail' and states that they would be returned at her expense. TWO: ALS. 14 December 1912. 2pp. 12mo. He has examined 'the old deeds' which are 'all of some interest in connexion with Yorkshire monasteries etc but the best of them the visitation of Gisburn is very imperfect'. He feels she may be 'disappointed as to their monetary value. As none of them are of very early date and there are no seals I do not think I could offer to recommend them to the Trustees for more than an average of four shillings each i.e £2 for the lot'. THREE: ANS. 17 December 1912. 1p. 12mo. Returning the documents by registered post and enclosing '5d surplus stamps'. All three on letterhead of the Department of Manuscripts, British Museum, London, WC. 4, 14 and 17 December 1912. unknown

10809À Paris De l'imprimerie de A. Bobée 1818 1 vol. 110 x 175 mm de 3 ff. xxii pp. 1 f. d'errata et 321 pp. Veau granité orné d'un quadruple filet d'encadrement doré sur les plats dos à nerfs orné de filets dorés et à froid fleurons dorés roulettes dorées pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux titre doré tranches marbrées roulette dorée sur les coupes dentelle intérieure dorée reliure de l'époque. Edition originale. Tirage unique à 200 exemplaires. Traduction de Courier en regard du texte grec. . Parmi les littérateurs de la décadence dans l'époque tragique de la mort de l'Empire romain le carthaginois Apulée fait figure de génie. Ces époques portent toujours d'ailleurs en même temps que leur propre poison quelques éclairs qui suffiraient à les sauver. Avec le Satiricon L'Âne d'or a donné de cette décadence l'une des meilleures représentations. Or il demeure sur les origines de ce texte quelque contradictions. Récit grec qui servit de modèle à Apulée pour L'Âne d'or La Luciade serait soit un abrégé des Métamorphoses son grand oeuvre soit au contraire leur développement. Dans sa préface Paul-Louis Courier qui donna la traduction française du texte tranche net : « . je dis que ceci n'est point un abrégé ; ce n'est point la copie réduite mais l'original au contraire du livre des Métamorphoses qui n'était qu'un développement ou plutôt une pitoyable amplification de celui-ci écrite depuis par quelque autre je crois Lucius ou si l'on veut par Lucius vieilli mal inspiré brouillé avec les Muses ayant perdu toute verve ». Et pour soutenir sa thèse il précise que les anciens n'abrégeaient que les textes historiques et « toujours on s'abstint de toucher aux ouvrages d'imagination ». Passage de la page 27 laissé en blanc comme souvent. À Paris, De l'imprimerie de A. Bobée, 1818 1 vol. (110 x 175 mm) de 3 ff., xxii pp., 1 f. d'errata et 321 pp. Veau granité, o unknown
