1p, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to the second leaf, which has been cut down the middle vertically, resulting in loss to one of the two postmarks, as well as to Gooch's addressing of the letter: '[.]ent Esqre | [ ] Webb Street | [ ] Borough '. Gooch begins his letter: 'Dear Sir, | I shall be very happy to see you at my House, and I have deferred writing to say so because I could not fix a time for it.' He suggests a time for him to dine on the following Sunday, adding: 'I shall be quite alone and happy to talk with you for an hour or two about Yarmouth news.' He concludes with thanks for the 'Pheasants', which were 'very fine'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

As an inducement to him to do me that favour I have ventured to tell him that I hope he will meet you. | Prytheee then let us not be disappointed. " Postscript, asking "What of Mr Black?" Notes: "David Scott was the son of Robert Scott, and brother of William Bell Scott, both involved in contributions for George Thomson s publications. Like William Bell he also wrote poetry, although he requested many of his verses to be destroyed after his death.".

Feldborg is mentioned several times in Southey's correspondence, and at one point contemplated translating Southey's life of Nelson into Danish. See Duke's entry in the Oxford DNB. The three letters are in fair condition, a little brittle and lightly aged and worn, with a closed tears along fold lines. The third letter has loss to second leaf from breaking of seal. Excellent energetic letters, giving a good indication of Feldborg's character and the circle he moved in while resident in England. Also containing a seven-line quotation from what appears to be an unknown letter by Sir Walter Scott. All three letters are written in Feldborg's neat hand, and signed 'A Andreas Feldborg'. The first two letters carry Feldborg's small seal in red wax, and are both addressed by him, with postmarks, to Rev. Edward Duke at his residence Lake House, Amesbury, near Salisbury, Wiltshire. ONE: 18 January 1826. A long letter, written on two and a half pages of a 4to bifolium, the other one and a half pages carrying a printed list headed 'Additional Subscribers to Rambles in Scotland. | Number of Copies already subscribed for 1086.' (Signatories grouped under thirteen areas of Britain, and ten on the continent.) Begins: 'My kind Sir, | Your goodnature will I trust pardon my long silence. It has been occasioned by a great variety of causes, some of a painful kind, the traces of which are now however happily effaced. You will I am sure do me the justice to believe that it was my intention as it was my duty to have reported progress in the course of my rambles in Wiltshire, where your name threw open many a door to me and unlocked many an English heart old as well as young. The kindness of Lord Arundell, Sir Richard Colt Hoare and the Reverend Lisle Bowles was above all praise.' He has before him Duke's 'kind letter of the 11th. of June [1825]', 'with four inclosures which I had not in my power to present, viz to B. C. Thomas Esq Malmesbury John Ward Esq Marlborough, Revd. Dr. Meyrick, Barnsbury, Charles Lawrence Esq Cirencester. You cannot imagine the joy with which I received that letter at the beautiful village of Horningsham or rather at what I call it, the pretty, romantic and fantastic parsonage of your poetic friend Mr. Skurray, who seems like myself to have sat down a confirmed bachelor, though by the bye Sir Peter Teazle married, I think, after our time.' He has visited 'Longleat, Frome and Farleycastle' with Skurray, and at Trownrodge 'saw Mr. Crabbe' i.e. the poet George Crabbe (1754-1832) 'who overwhelmed me with kindness and presented me with his Tales of the Hall'. He was not able to act on his intention 'to have proceeded by Malmesbury, Avebury and Marlborough and indeed to have paid another visit to Stonehenge'. 'The last Sunday in England I spent on the quiet banks of the Isis in Oxford, and on the next I found myself in France in Paris andn in that sink of Nations Palais Royale What a contrast! I went to my Hotel early in the evening and read Cautions to Continental travellers by the Revd Mr. Cunningham, Vicar of Harrow on the Hill a book which English people cannot too often read'. He does not have 'what is called in homely but most significant language, a stake in the hedge, yet as I have for so many years like good old Bishop Berkeley, enjoyed the hedge which we had not the trouble to take care of, you will believe, my dear Mr. Duke, that I have of late thought with anxiety on those of my friends, who have stakes in the glorious hedge of Old England'. He hopes that Duke has 'sustained no inconvenience from the late Crisis [ ] You will I am sure like to hear how the Great Unknown expressed himself during the general depression in 1821. In a letter which he wrote to an individual, who gave it to me, when I expressed a desire to possess a specimen of Sir Walter Scott's handwriting, he says: [seven line quotation from a letter by Scott, apparently unpublished, beginning 'I begin to be more frightened about the country than formerly.']'. He ends with affectionate greetings to his 'friends at Lake, some of whom however must in the nature of things have forget the wandering Dane. - Be this however, as it may, I shall not forget Edward, Harriet Hinxman, Henry Hinxman (who was so curious to see the dane) Robert Rashleigh, Carolina and Mary the twins, George Frederick and Charlotte Maria. They as well as their parents will at least ever have my best wishes'. In conclusion he asks Duke to 'drop me a line addressed to the care of Mr. Varrentrapp, bookseller, Frankfort on the Maine, via Calais, that I may know how you all are'. TWO: 30 December 1826. 4pp, 4to. Bifolium. Another long letter, signed 'A Andersen Feldborg', with postscript signed 'the danish Rambler'. Written in the same affectionate vein as the previous letter, expressing pleasure at receiving Duke's news, and sympathy at the death of his mother. 'I have myself to deplore the ravages of death, in the case of Mr. Talma, whose acquaintance (and a most interesting one it proved) I had the happiness of making at Paris, soon after I left England. [ ] the second instance came unexpectedly upon me, when I was some days ago shocked with the news of the death of my distinguished countryman, Mr. Malte-brun, the Geographer.' He also comments on Duke's rambles ('I have gone over every inch of that ground and water myself, and that more than once.') and his own indisposition. He is sending 'a packet containing 33 Views of Gottingen and adjacent parts'. He is very sorry he 'was not able fully to explore your country. But I hope to do it at some future time'. He is happy to be remembered by English friends mentioned in the last letter, and regrets that he 'had not the pleasure of seeing Mr. Grosett. How I have missed such meadows as those near Laycock Abbey. The continent has no such pastures, no such footpaths, no such hedges, no such oxen, no such sheep, in short, nothing like the animation of an English landscape.' After a reference to '.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. On a bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with strip of mount adhering to blank reverse of second leaf. Signed 'Sidney Colvin'. The recipient is not named, but is addressed as Dear Madam . The letter begins: I am afraid I made a mistake yesterday, in addressing you as E. M. Sharpe Esqr. - but it was the address of the Natural History Museum which misled me. In order to make sure this time, he is addressing the present letter to the care of Mr. Bowdler Sharpe: to whom also the drawing has this day been returned. It is from a well-known design occurring in Raphael s fresco of the Incendio del Borgo at Rome. A chalk sketch for the figure, usually given to [?]. himself, but more proably by his pupil Giulio Romano, is in the Uffizi at Florence. This drawing is not G. Giulio, but by a later and much weaker copyist, and is of small value or none. He ends by asking her to forgive the dalay and confusion in the matter .

See Harling's entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Folded twice. The salutation ('My dear Percy'), valediction ('Luv Robert'), and one additional word in autograph; the rest typed. He begins by thanking Muir for a copy of 'PHM 80', the volume celebrating Muir's eightieth birthday. 'Judging from the Roth picture you seem not to have changed a jot since I first met you post-war.' He finds the 'items' in the volume 'fascinating to read: from Meynell's typical promotional piece for Meynell to your offerings, ['offsprings!' added in autograph in the margin] far the most delightful and moving.' With reference to Fleming a bibliophile who founded the 'Book Collector' magazine he writes: 'A pity that Ian wasn't around to contribute one of his telling anecdotes of the early days.' And referring to his wife: 'A nice touch is that your birthday is the same as my Phoebe's.' He adds an astrological joke. He finds it hard to believe Muir 'as eighty, still less as retired. Or perhaps you aren't either and are just foxing.' He has, he jokes, 'always thought 80 a nice round figure to aim for as a springboard for the succeeding twenty years.' His own life 'continues much as ever, split between the Sunday Times and the glossy, with an agreeable number of sidelines, including the garden, of course.' He finds 'the constant change between those different worlds too entertaining to opt out.' He describes a family home at Majorca, which is 'ideal for scribbling novels'. 'After a wartime of movement and travel, that's now my ideal way of travelling: from one living-room to another six hours away.' He refers to his wife's 'wander-lusting' and current travels in South Africa, and gives details of his children. Turning to Fleming's wife Ann (the former Viscountess Rothermere) and only child Caspar (of whose suicide in 1975 he seems unaware) he writes: 'Annie I haven't seen for some time. She's had a lot of trouble with Caspar, but if people will push their children into boarding-school at the age of eight they shouldn't wonder why they can't communicate when the children are young men and women of eighteen. She left the little Victoria Square house where we had so many entertaining Book Collector collations and now, I believe, divides her time between Wiltshire and Albany and spending Bond money, as Ian prophesied, like ten drunken sailors on a spree.' Before concluding with renewed thanks for 'the pretty book and the subject's own calligraphical amendments', he suggests that despite the fact that 'Suffolk and Surrey are so far apart' they 'arrange to communicate at five-year intervals at most'. Regarding Harling and James Bond, see Ian Jack's article in the Guardian, 'Tight trousers and typography: Robert Harling, the mystery man who could have been James Bond', 10 October 2015. For Muir and Fleming see Nicolas Barker's 2017 Book Collector article 'Percy Muir: Ian Fleming's Book Dealer'.

1p, 12mo. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'J. M. Muller Esq'. In fair condition, lightly aged, with closed tear along one of the two folds and slight creasing at foot, with a panel lacking from the second leaf. The recipient Johann Martin Muller published a few piece of music in Edinburgh in the 1840s. Thomson begins in the hope that if Muller is 'disengaged next Saturday evening' he will join Thomson 'at Seven o' clock sending Beethoven's Sonatas, & Trios; in which case I would beg of you to take the trouble to send the accompanying Note to our friend M Boisragon, as I do not know where his lodgings are.' He asks to be informed on the matter, and in a postscript writes: 'Please to put into my Note to Mr B the hour at which you can come 7 I hope.' Laid down on the second leaf is a newspaper cutting regarding the 'Death of George Thomson, the Correspondent of Burns'. The 'M Boisragon' of the letter is the singer Conrad Boisragon of Cheltenham, who according to one source 'became known as Conrado Borrani on the London opera scene of the 1840s'.
