3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. He praises Macgregor's book for representing 'most faithfully the spirit of the original. This I take it is the chief merit of any translation.' Macgregor's 'employment in this manner so distinct from the ordinary pursuits of the leisure of an officer, proves the work to be "con amore"'. He mentions the collection of 'Professor Jacobs', feeling that such work will 'give the author a high standing amongst the scholars of our country, but it is for those who engage in such works to be generally aware that as a commercial speculation they are not likely to succeed.' Referring to Blackwood's Magazine, he states that he is himself 'in the habit of writing for a very popular periodical, and finding no place for classical articles. The public taste is not sufficiently chastened and refined. Otherwise I believe that the works of Walter Savage Landor would rank with the first of the day.' He does however feel that things are turning in the right direction, 'which is to divorce scholarship from pedantry'. In a postscript he states that he has 'several connexions in the Indian army, amongst others Dr. Marshall who I believe was chief of the original staff in Burmah, and is now in this country'. See Catherine Reilly, 'Mid-Victorian Poetry, 1860-1879' (2000).

The subject of this article is discussed by William M. Johnston, in his article 'William Kinglake's "A Summer in Russia": A Neglected Memoir of Saint Petersburgh in 1845' (TSLL, Spring 1967). The memoir was published anonymously by Ainsworth in the New Monthly Magazine, of which he was editor and proprietor, in three parts, but a German translation in the same year revealed Kinglake's identity. See the entries for Ainsworth and Kinglake in the Oxford DNB. An interesting letter, casting light on Victorian journalistic practices. 4pp, 12mo. Forty lines of text. On a bifolium. In fair condition, aged and worn, with strips of paper adhering to blank areas at head and foot of the reverse of the second leaf. Folded for postage. The recipient is not named. Signed 'W. Harrison Ainsworth.' Begins: 'My dear Sir. I received your Russian Tour at breakfast this morning, and since then I have read it with great interest - an unusual instance for me, for extensive familiarity with manuscripts has not tended to increase my partiality for them. But your paper is not only well written, but very lively and amusing, and I have got through it with great satisfaction to myself. Under these circumstances you will not wonder that I gladly accept it for the New Monthly; and I only regret that I cannot, owing to the Mag[azin]e. being already made up, commence in next No.' He will however 'send the paper incontinently to the Printer, with directions to him to forward proofs' to the writer's address. He suggests dividing the paper 'into chapters with separate headings'. He asks how he proposes to 'entitle it', and whether he wishes to attach his name to it. He would be pleased to make his acquaintance, and suggests that they dine at the Parthenon Club in Regent Street the following Friday, 'when we can talk matters over'. If that is not possible, he suggests that they dine 'here, en famille, on Sunday next at six, likewise'. See Image.

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Ainsworth begins: 'My dear Mr. Fullom, I am happy to tell you that you are under a great mistake. Your manner, on the occasion you refer to, produced the most favourable impression upon me.' Fullom 'exhibited great delicacy and modesty', and Ainsworth 'stated as much to Mr. Hurst'. The omission was in fact on Ainsworth's own part, in neglecting to thank Fullom for his 'flattering proposal to dedicate your romance to me'. Ainsworth accepts 'this testimony of [Fullom's] regard with much pleasure', and assures him that he will watch his 'future career' with 'much interest'. He concludes by assuring Fullom that he will be happy to be of any assistance to him. Fullom's earliest book appears to be the novel 'The King and the Countess', published by Henry Colburn in 1849 (dedicatee unknown). COPAC only carries one work of his published by Hurst & Blackett: the fourth edition of his 'The marvels of science, and their testimony to Holy Writ', 1853.

An idiosyncratic letter, revealing something of his working practices, and the relations between client and bookseller in the early nineteenth century. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 12mo. From the collection of a painstaking Victorian autograph collector, who has unobtrusively repaired slight damage to a central fold. On lightly discoloured paper, with a thin neat strip from the windowpane mount adheres to the edges. The letter is signed 'Sh.n Turner' and the recipients are not named. The letter begins: 'Gentn / I wo[ul]d thank you to get for me Rosellinis 'I Monumenti dell Egitto' / Tom I. Pisa 1832 8o / with an atlas & 30 plates / large folio - / and the parts which have been published since. / As it is an expensive work I will send you a draft for the amount on receiving it - but I see I shall want it to do my next Volume as satisfactory to myself as I wish - as I like to see myself all original authorities'. The recipients have written at the head of the letter: '24 Numbers of Plates Folio at 27/ per No. will becompleted in 40 Numbers, and must subscribe for the whole / 4 vols 8o published will be completed in 20 Vols / those will be gratis'.
