He writes that Marzials is 'some days too late' with his 'kind offer' as both Birrell and his wife have read 'with great pleasure' Marzials's book on Victor Hugo. 'It was a difficult task. I mean the Life not the reading of it I am no judge on such a subject – being a very stay at home sort of fellow but anyhow you succeeded in pleasing me. What a sensible <> shrewd sort of fellow he was in what way may be called ordinary things. None of the extravagances of the School in matters of conduct seem to belong to him.' He asks what Hugo's 'relations' were 'with the other sex'. 'It is a sad little picture for sure of Madam – But such a vitality as his was bound to outlive in some aspects of love'. He ends with a reference to Washington Irving. In a postscript he says he will stick Marzial's letter in his copy of the book. Marzials's biography was first published in 1888.

1023315 September 1886; on letterhead of Roodee Lodge Chester Lancashire. 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. 32 lines. Text clear and complete. Fair on aged paper. In answer to a request for autographs she has 'some duplicates somewhere but tonight I send you only three cards' as she has 'no letters of Miss Yonge that I should like to part with'. She names the authors of the 'three signed postcards' not present as: James Payne 'Editor of Cornhill author of many novels' Charlotte Yonge and Richard Monckton Milnes Lord Houghton. Of the last she writes: 'I could not spare anything else of his - & if you have another signature please let me have it back again - as also - the envelope - for that is also written by one who is dead - Hugh Conway - author of Called Back etc. An envelope is better than nothing at all I think.' She thinks it unlikely that Parker will be able to read the two men's cards but assures him that 'they have written much more illegibly than they have done in these specimens!' 15 September 1886; on letterhead of Roodee Lodge, Chester, Lancashire. unknown

18013820London: Printed for T.N.Longman and O.Rees 1801 1801. Only edition. Small 8vo. pp. 6 201 1bl. Contemporary calf double fillet borders to boards rebacked to style with gilt decoration and black morocco label lettered in gilt. Edges and corners rubbed with a little wear to the latter. All edges speckled. Internally near fine. A very nice copy of the first book published by Ireland following his exposure as a forger. Rare in commerce only two copies appearing at auction in the last fifty years. William Henry Ireland was a type familiar in the world of letters and books - the clever but rackety fantasist. He absorbed from his father a publisher a fascination with Shakespeare and perhaps more significantly the forgers Chatterton and Macpherson. A spell working for a lawyer gave him access to old documents which he studied and copied before taking the plunge and forging a deed containing Shakespeare's signature. His father thinking it real was thrilled. Ireland began to produce more "Shakespearian" documents claiming that they were from an anonymous collector. When even a letter from Shakespeare to Elizabeth I was authenticated by contemporary experts Ireland overreached himself and brought forth a "new" play Vortigern and Rowena. Ireland's doubters led by the Shakespearean scholar Edmond Malone began to circle and the first and only performance of the play was disrupted in part by its leading actor John Philip Kemble who repeated a line including the words "solemn mockery". Although the young Ireland immediately confessed both he and his father were disgraced the latter dying in 1800 and William being forced to eke out a thin living as a poet historian and satirist. Ballads in Imitation of the Antient was a clever attempt at redemption. It was published in Ireland's name so no-one could accuse him of forgery or fakery but the book played into the contemporary taste for bogus antiquarianism which floated somewhere between historical truth and historically inspired fiction. And of course "Imitation" of which Ireland was clearly a master can be both. London: Printed for T.N.Longman and O.Rees 1801 hardcover
