See her entry in the Oxford DNB, which states that 'During his periods of 'madness', George III imagined that he was married to Lady Pembroke. Apparently, 'his infatuation went back to the days when he was only seventeen and she, of the same age, was Elizabeth Spencer'. The king went so far as to make 'her handsome offers if she would be his mistress.' [.] In 1804 the king suffered another attack of dementia and again announced his desire for Lady Pembroke. This situation aroused some amusement among younger courtiers since she was by this time almost seventy years old." 1p, 12mo. On recto of first leaf of a bifolium; the verso of the second leaf, the lower part of which is torn away, carries her seal in red wax, and the address in her autograph: 'The Honble. / George Ellis / Ld: Vist: Clifden's'. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn. Folded twice. The letter, written in a stylish hand, reads: 'My dear George, I have done the business for you, & Her Majesty was most gracious, so you may make yourself fine & cut a dash abroad. It is sad you cannot come & dine here. I shall be in Town on Monday Evening, should you have any more commands for me. I am / Dr George Yr: Aff: Aunt / Eliz: Pembroke | Saturday morning. 29th.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 208, xx, [1] ; illustrated, 4 in color ; 21 cm. ; John Horace McFarland (1859-1948) was an American master printer and horticulturist. Throughout his career, he advocated for civic beautification, and he became a leader in the conservation movement of the early twentieth century. His wide-ranging achievements made a lasting impact on printing processes, horticulture, and environmental protection. During McFarland's early years, his father operated a nursery and a small weekly newspaper in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. McFarland worked in both of his father's businesses as a youth. These early experiences instilled the passion for horticultural beauty and the business expertise that distinguished him personally and professionally. He eventually purchased his father's press. Combining the skills learned from these early experiences, he established a successful printing company of his own. He founded the J. Horace McFarland Company/Mount Pleasant Press, specializing in seed catalogs and nursery trade publications. Over the course of his lifetime, McFarland wrote and lectured extensively on horticulture, printing methods, and civic improvement. McFarland was a prominent member of the American Rose Society.

Valediction of Letter only, 5 lines inc. signature and address, 19 x 7cm, laid down on similar sized paper, with remnants on verso suggesting that it was in an album at one time, with note identifying writer ("The Countess Spencer"). Text: "& you will very highly oblige & gratify me. | I have the honor to be your Royal Highness most obedient Sert | Lavinia Spencer". From a large collection of similar conclusions,so often to the Duke of York ("Royal Highness" etc) that they may reveal the fate of his incoming correspondence, or part of it.…

Entitled "Hope - to the Dutchess of Devonshire" (an Ode to her daughter adapted from Mason's "Ode 13" or vice versa - see Note below.). Four pages, 4to, aged but clear and complete, fold mark, right edge uneven and glue remnant, from album of commonplace book presumably. Text begins: "What magic warblings to my Ear" and concludes 39 lines later (if I've counted correctly) [itself in quotation marks] "Nor will I quit thee at the grave". Another hand, suspiciously resembling Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire's roughest hand, has added the words "on reading his Ode to Hope", and adds to the end of the poem, "This ode is in the hand writing of Georgiana, Daugh[te]r of the Rt Hon[ora]ble Stephen Poyntz, married to John first Earl Spencer, & mother of Georgiana Duchess of Devonshire". Georgiana Spencer became the Duchess of Devonshire upon marriage in 1774, presumably. See Images (very readable). I found one reference to (the first line) of this Ode "Hope-to the Dutchess of Devonshire" via Googlebooks which recognised the first line "What Magic" in the Beinecke Library's Volume of first lines, but now Googlebooks is denying that vision! BUT the Second verse of Mason's Ode XIII runs as follows: "What tender warblings to my ear, | On Zephyr's borne, aspire, | To draw me from my sapphire sphere, | Charmed by her magic lyre? | I come; she wakes the willing strings, | With careless grace her hand she flings | The soft symphonious chords among; | Nor ever on the listening plain, | Since the sweet Lesbian tuned her strain." (full text, no. of stanzas, in "The British Poets including Translations", [Vol.] LXXVI Mason, vol.1, [Chiswick 1822], pp.61-64. The earliest publication of this Ode pace Googlebooks seems to be 1811. I have yet to find an earlier publication date, begging the question whether Mason wrote/published the version in British Poets before or after the tribute to Georgiana in which she is named. But "Ode XIII" could well be a tribute to her, without naming. And perhaps Mason circulated a MS of the Poem before publication (long before?).…
