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'.
