18636948Mount Melville St. Andrews 1863. 1-1/2 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Very good. With accompanying envelope. 1-1/2 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Sent to literary editor Mathew Cooke in reply to a Prospectus for a new book being offered by subscription and Cooke's request of an advance payment of 3 guineas Whyte-Melville replies: "as I remitted you in advance for a book you wrote to me about called the History & Articles of Masonry in June 1860 & never received the work I do not feel disposed to do the same now with perhaps a similar result." While The History and Articles of Masonry a transcript of the manuscript now known as the Cooke Manuscript was indeed published in 1861 Whyte-Melville was justified in his caution for Monumenta Masonica was never published. A canny letter from George Whyte-Melville 1821-1878 soldier sportsman and prolific Victorian writer famed for his sporting social and historical novels. His adventurous life ended in 1878 when he was killed instantly in an accident in the hunting field. <br/><br/> unknown
