608929 September 1856; Booton Rectory Norwich. 12mo 1 p 17 lines. Very good. He has been 'from home visiting here & there' and has returned to 'a mass of correspondence which is perfectly appalling'. He is sorry she 'sent back the book' as he meant her 'to keep it in perpetuity'. 'The recent work which finds most favour with the public is Lord Cockburn's Memorials. It is entertaining but not in all respects accurate. It is however worth reading & will serve to beguile a winter's evening. I dare sayy the autumn & Christmas which are the great publishing seasons will produce something tolerable.' Ends by thanking her for the account she gives of her 'travels'. The recipient of this letter may have been the author under the pseudonym 'Leslie Gore' of the Bentley three-decker 'Annie Jennings' 1870. 29 September 1856; Booton Rectory, Norwich. unknown
60901875 1883 1887; all three from Booton Rectory Norwich. All three letters 12mo and closely written. All three with rusted pinholes at head. A valuable correspondence in which one of Victorian England's leading critics describes his response to the work of one of the age's foremost historians. LETTER ONE 1 page 26 lines good: He thanks Kinglake for sending his 'new volume' of 'The Invasion of the Crimea'. 'I am reading it with great delight. The work to me is unique both in military & literary history. I never read a book before which gave a description of a battle in all its parts so as to convey a true picture of what a battle really is.' Continues in the same vein laying on the praise. 'Many of the passages are full of pathos & grandeur & when I read them aloud in our domestic circle thehy stirred the hearts of old & young alike.' Concludes 'If the work were far less distinguished for its intellectual beauties it would deserve immortality for its fearless honesty. An author who loves nothing better than truth is rare.' LETTER TWO 2 pages 33 lines good: Another paean of praise beginning 'I find your new preface delightful for its contents & the vigour & felicity of the language. Newspapers write more & more in superlatives & exaggerate everything for the sake of effect. I suppose we have all felt this in the accounts of the Egyptian Campaign .'. Discusses Lord Bury and 'one of the most comical instances on record of a man digging a pit for another & falling into it himself. I never saw Lord Bury but once & then only for an instant but I know his father & the family calibre. With sundry good qualities to be a little weak a little vain & a politician for what you can get runs I think in the blood.' Returns to Kinglake's 'volume' in the last paragraph with yet more praise. LETTER THREE two pages 27 lines with some wear at foot affecting a couple of words of still-decipherable text: He has read Kinglake's letter 'with a pride & pleasure greater than you yourself probably feel at the completion of your masterly work. The modes of treating history were hacknied & did not seem capable of much novelty. I know scarce anything inn fiction more original than yours & the originality has everywhere tended to one end . I look upon your history as absolutely unique . <If> it had been a war far less memorable in its consequences it would have been rendered memorable by its historian .'. 1875, 1883, 1887; all three from Booton Rectory, Norwich. unknown
