Paperback. Zustand: Good. Nestled at the foot of the Berkshires, the city of Westfield, Massachusetts, was first settled in 1639. In its earliest days, Westfield was a farming community, but by the end of the nineteenth century the history of the town was marked by great industrial growth. With the Industrial Revolution came an influx of newcomers from faraway lands, and Westfield became home to many Irish, Lithuanian, Polish, and Slovak immigrants. The people of Westfield, with their varied backgrounds, ideals, and dreams, worked together to make the city well-known as the whip capital of the world and the home of the Columbia bicycle.…

The recipient is not named. Signed 'W. H. Dixon'. Begins: 'Dear Sir / Many thanks for your note. It is obvious that the Shakespeare feeling is wider than we any of us thought: & the fitting form of memorial, where there is enough enthusiasm to justify it, as in Liverpool, is a local scholarship or institution.'

'It would be a great satisfaction to me to be able to avail myself of the advantage your suggestion offers to me; but I regret to state that I am not in possession of more than one copy of any of my works - and of several of them not even one; and as none of them are in my own possession as copyright, I can only obtain copies by purchase.'

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. On brittle, discoloured paper, cropped at foot. Signed ('J. Oxenford'). The recipient is not named, but is clearly the editor of the Athenaeum.

See the entries on Collier and Dilke in the Oxford DNB. The eight volumes of Collier's edition of Shakespeare's works were first published between 1842 and 1844, with the sonnets and other poems in the last volume. The Athenaeum carried a long review of vols.2 and 3 of Collier's edition on 9 July 1842, and another dealing with the biographical element of the entire work on 2 March 1844. From this letter it is clear that Chasles intended to review the eighth and last volume containing the sonnets (and may well have done so). The present item is 3pp, 12mo. On bifolium. In fair condition, aged, spotted and worn, with long closed tear at foot of gutter. Folded for postage. Addressed to 'Cher Monsieur' and signed 'Philarète Chasles'. Accompanied by a passable modern typescript translation of the letter. Chasles begins by thanking the recipient (Dilke) for his 'bonnes paroles', and the 'place' he has given him at the Athenaeum, with 'votre protection si amicale et si complète'. There follows a strange self-abasing passage in which Chasles states that his only desire is to be accepted and excused, and that as his impudence is great, he is blessed not to have been punished. He proposes, with the recipient's permission, to the 'rearrangeur et au vieux et respectable M. Payne Collier'. He transcribes Collier's reproduction of the dedication to Shakespeare's sonnets, accusing Collier of 'inexactitude' in his printing: 'Il imprime ainsi la valeur relative des lignes; et il oublie les blancs qui sont si importans'. He gives one two-line example, claiming that by omitting the white space between them 'elles sont une iteration, une masse et absurde tautologie. Ce Well-wisher qui Wishes, est ridicule.' He undertakes to be 'très courtois, bien entendu pour M. Collier', and besides he will submit blindly to the recipient's corrections. See Image of pp.2/3/.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 12mo. Forty-nine lines. Bifolium. On aged and worn paper, with the reverse of the second leaf laid down on cut-down remains of leaf of autograph album, with a number of autographs on slips laid down on the reverse, including that of Charles Hallé, cut from a letter. Prout's letter is signed 'Ebenezer Prout', but the recipient is not named. He apologizes for not having written sooner about 'Christophorus': 'The truth is that our programme was settled just as I was leaving town for Norway; and since my return I have been so busy, first with the Birmingham Festival, and this week with the Choral Competitions at the Albert Hall, where I have been one of the judges, that the matter quite slipped my memory.' He states that he recommended the piece to 'the Committee of the B. H. C. A., but after discussion, it was (to my own regret) negatived in favour of Handel's 'Te Deum'. I make it a rule to yield to the wishes of my committee - except in matters of principle - so I did not press it.' He offers to either purchase or return the two scores he has been sent. 'I have lent one of them to the librarian of our society, who, I should add, warmly supported my proposal to do it'. If they are to be returned there will be a delay, as he is going down to the Hereford Festival on the Monday. He ends: 'Thanking you for your willingness to assist us, and regretting that my efforts to do 'Christophorus' have at present been unsuccessful'.…
