22357Letter: 'Weddnesday sic Morg.' 2 June 1819; from 8 Upper John Street Golden Square. Translations without date or place. Tabeeb was a fêted 'exotic' visitor to England at the end of the Regency period. In March 1819 the Asiatic Journal reported his presence in London and on 6 June four days after the present letter he breakfasted with the Irish poet Thomas Moore who reported in his diary that he was 'to take a Diploma of Doctor at Oxford this month'. In April 1820 a fine engraving of Tabeeb after a painting by John James Hall was published. In September 1820 the London magazine La Belle Assemblee printed a letter describing the English in complimentary terms written by 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb Persian physician who had been sent by his Royal Highness the Prince Abbas Mirza Bey Prince of Persia to this country to study the practice of physic and who has now returned to his own country'. Three items from an album compiled by Lady Ann Cullum 1807-1875 wife of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum 1777-1855 of Hardwick House. In the letter and calling card Tabeeb's name has a macron over the 'a' of 'Jiafer' LETTER: 1p 12mo. In fair condition lightly aged with wear at one corner and water staining at head with traces of mount adhering to reverse. The letter reads: 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb presents his respectful Compliments to Lady Cullum and is very sorry to say that he is obliged to attend Mr. Brande's lecture the celebrated chemist William Thomas Brande 1788-1866 at Royal Institution tomorrow morning at Nine Oclock therefore he begs to put off his breakfasting for some other morning.' TRANSLATIONS: 1p landscape 8vo. In fair condition aged with water staining to one corner. Folded three times. Addressed on reverse 'To Lady Cullum.' The only other writing on that side preceded by a small heart is 'Seeing Friends gives Brillany sic to the Eye'. The first of the quotations is preceded by an asterisk and the second by a cross suggesting that the Persian original may have originally accompanied them. The first reads: 'I saw my moon-like love in the garden: she was gathering roses. The thorn of the rose wounder her hands but she only laughed. I asked her the cause of her laughter: she replied “the rose cannot bear to see any thing superior to itself.' The second reads: 'O Beloved of my heart I cannot say whether you are the sea or the moon. Is it your face or a rose which I see: is it light which dazzles me or is it your neck.' CALLING CARD. 3.75 x 7.5 cm. Laid down on the last item beneath the second quotation. In fair condition with vertical fold line. The name 'Meerza Jiafer Tabeeb' engraved in copperplate and centred on the card. Beneath this at bottom left Tabeeb has written his signature in Persian script and at bottom-right he writes the address '30 Golden Sqr.' Letter: 'Weddnesday [sic] Morg.' [2 June 1819]; from 8 Upper John Street, Golden Square. Translations without date or place. unknown

Sharp-tongued Charlotte Hungerford had a talent for taking the puff out of a man's pride ...a talent that seemed sure to doom her to spinsterhood at twenty-six. Hadn't she hurled the crockery at Princess Sophia's tea party--straight at Sir Hannibal Cheng, who dared make fun of her novels? Hadn't she made it clear she would not have a mooncalf like Lord Darlington, even if he was heir to a dukedom? Beautiful Charlotte Hungerford would never be wed but to a man as daring and bold as her own heroes ...a man she would test to the limit before succumbing--like a swooning heroine--to his mad, passionate embrace!
