18151238234to. London: Dec. 13 1815. 4to 1p. written in ink. Addressee illegible but possibly J.O. Downey § Dibdin thanks the addressee for "£4.4 for the 4th volume of the Bibl. Spenceriana. The books have arrived safely and Lord Spencer should be immediately apprised of your kind intentions.No kind of apology is requisite and I make no doubt of his Lordship's thanking you for your donation. You should hear from me again upon the subject of the binding. Dec. 13 unknown books
18151238224to. London: Dec. 11 1815. 4to 1p. written in ink. Addressee illegible but possibly J.O. Downey § Dibdin apologises for the late delivery of "your copy of the 4th volume" probably the Bibliotheca Spenceriana. He ends typically with a sales pitch: "I enclose a prospectus of my new work which may at least amuse you. Only 200 copies were printed of this prospectus. Dec. 11 unknown books
18241238378°. Kensington: March 22 1824. 8° 2 pp. with a separate wrapper franked ‘Spencer’ with Dibdin's wax seal bearing the Aldine anchor and the word "Aldus". § Interesting letter thanking Brockett for ‘your intended kind Present. Lord Spencer will necessarily have the books’; TFD is deeply occupied by his new duties as rector in Bryanston Square and by ongoing work on The Library Companion. March 22 unknown books
18281238404°. W.P.: Oct. 9 1828. 4° 3 pp. edges of conjugate second leaf reinforced with transparent paper-tape no text loss. No loss but not in good condition. § Sadly one of many Dibdin letters about being behind in financial obligations. He begins: "‘Be tranquil!’ so perhaps Triphook had berated Dibdin sternly. After considerable financial accounting he ends: "The poets are come to me 2 vols. in one. I will be with Wheatly tomorrow". Oct. 9 unknown books
17991238331p. London: April 12 1799. 1p. oblong 4to a bit soiled and once removed from an album with tape marks on verso. § Very early ALS concerning ‘some Dramatic German M.SS which you might perhaps like to purchase’ from the bearer a lady: ‘Any arrangement you may make with her I shall consider as one of honour done myself’. On 3 Sept 1814 defending his hope to take a profit on the ‘Lincoln Nosegay’ enterprise Dibdin wrote to Earl Spencer that he had ‘for the last 7 years never received a single farthing profit upon any article with which I may have accommodated a friend or bookseller’. This early letter with no agency commission implied suggests an even earlier disdain for commercial remuneration or recompense save in friendly credit or gratitude for ‘negotiations’ or ‘diplomacy’ in such matters. If you believe it! April 12 unknown books
123842Kensington: July 17 n.d. 8vo 4 pp. Very good. § Interesting letter ‘in direful wrath’ about Dulau who ‘owes me upwards of £50’ and concerned about Leighton’s ‘price for boarding’: ‘he asked 14 then 18 and then 17 and I stuck out for 16 free volumes. Shall it be so’ He continues: "I rather anticipated your response to my proposals. I am indeed at this moment in a siruation to require all my energies calmness and fortitude. How do the knowing owner like the additional plates July 17 unknown books
18261238384to. N.p.: Oct. 19 1826. 4to 3 pp. Small tear from breaking the seal othewrwise fine. § A deeply moving and sad letter about the illness of Arch’s brother Arthur and Dibdin’s own ailments. "As I was very nearly "going the way of all flesh" from the same complaint. I have lost my old and valued friend Lord Gifford from the same cause. Thank God I rallied quickly but during 12 hours incessant vomiting I thought my brains heart liver and all the adjuncts would have burst their strong-hold’. Pray remember me very kindly to him and Mrs. A. Arch - not forgetting the little prattlers who will find me I fear a sad old grey-headed stupid fellow when they next see me. Adieu: my friend Bernardo takes this to put in the L.P. The races are going on: but my race is a very different and a very delicate course to run winner or loser. Oct. 19 unknown books
1827123839Sm. W.P.: Nov. 20 1827. Sm. 8vo 4 pp. Small tear at one corner without loss. § A sad letter reporting in shock the ‘melancholy dreadful occasion’ of his sister-in-law Mrs. Davis having been ‘burnt to death. What was wonderful was she suffered little or no pain but lay in a state of insensibility 24 hours when she expired without a sigh or a groan!’ It was during tea-making’. she was discovered with the flames rising pyramidally over her head.". Nov. 20 unknown books
123843London: 'Tuesday' n.d. 8vo 1p. trimmed close to the margins with no loss. § A sweet little letter inviting them to a ‘confabulation’ over dinner ‘haddock roast mutton and apple drawing’. Dibdin has added two simple drawings one of a dish of apples and one of a heart i.e. heartily as a closing sentiment. 'Tuesday' unknown books
123813London: Feb. 6 1798. 4to 4 pp. written in ink. Fold neatly restored in very good condition. § This is one of the earliest and by far the most important Dibdin letters extant. It is fully described and transcribed in Windle and Pippin E2 and it describes Dibdin's first publication "The Whole Law relative to the Rights of Persons" of which no copy is known to survive. For a long time it was the only proof we had that this "chart" was ever printed let alone in colored and uncolored copies. A second letter mentioning the chart was only recently discovered. This letter is to Cadell & Davies publisher of two editions of Blackstone and begins with their comment at the head of the letter lines 1-2:declined - and the 2 Charts sent by his Desire to Mr Clark Portugal Street.Feb. 6. 988 Upper Titchfield St.Fitzroy Sq.Gentlemen I have sent you per bearer two of my law Charts comprehending each the whole Law relative to the rights of Persons which makes up the first Volume complete of Blackstone’s Comries.: I have sent one colour’d and one plain so that you might be able to judge of the advantages and disadvantages attending each: by being coloured of course the expence is increas’d; but otherwise as I humbly conceive it adds much to the Perspicuity of the Work: Supposing you to close in with my Proposals it may possibly be worth your while to take the colouring of them into your consideration: tho’ even without it I think the work would be highly advantageous to any future edition of Blackstone." This letter is archetypal Dibdin and sets the tone for many subsequent transactions with booksellers and publishers. Anthony Lister observed in litt.: ‘It is invaluable because a it reveals Dibdin trying in 1798 to persuade booksellers to market his wares.… b the letter is by far the earliest written by T.F.D. that I have encountered among the hundreds that I have read but see entry A1. c It provides the earliest London address I have for him … ’ Reminiscences pp.190-191 varies in details of the cost and selling prices. Feb. 6 unknown books
123824London: June 1 1840. 4to 2 pp. with conjugate leaves written in ink. With two wax seals still present but mostly illegible -- one possibly has the monogram TFD. § Dibdin writes slightly testily to the addressee: ". the weather is hot my paper of limited dimensions and a "Catalogue Raisonné" of my works utterly impractical in consequence. You will find 9/10ths of them in my "Reminiscences of a Literary Life". There is a most admirable for its truth likeness of me just published by Dickinson. June 1 unknown books
17991238344to. London: Sept. 9 1799. 4to 1 p. tiny hole in centre text unaffected. § A highly important very early and previously unrecorded letter tasking his correspondent to give the bearer two copies of “my Charts of the Rights of Persons†one colored and one plain without charge “in tolerably clean condition.†The letter relates to the now lost Dibdin publication described in Windle & Pippin as ‘B2’ with a long descriptive letter offered above; the date of ours suggests a second try at a cheaper and more commercial reprinting of the “Blackstone Chart†after Cadell & Davies declined it. The request “in tolerably clean condition†suggests that Dibdin had had them stored and perhaps knew that some had been stained or otherwise soiled. The mystery around this chart has yet to be solved. Sept. 9 unknown books
18161238354to. Kensington: March 4 1816. 4to 1 p. in very good condition. § To an unidentified correspondent concerning a large-paper copy of the Bibliotheca Spenceriana of which he has received vols. one and two of four: "You need not be under any apprehension as those who have the previous will of course have the succeeding volume. How long have you been the fortunate man to posses the L.P I write this 'currente calamo' for I am now up to my eyes and ears in Decameronic pursuits having fairly plunged myself into all the miseries of the press perhaps for 14 months to come." This latter reference connects to our letter from Dibdin to Brunet 123821 about getting French engravers for the "Decameron". March 4 unknown books
