2pp, 8vo. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to edge on reverse, which is endorsed '14 Febr. 1811 | T Denman'. Folded several times. The recipient is not named, but was clearly an individual of some standing, as Denman appears keen to dine with him. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir | Though I did not feel sufficiently sure of your person to venture upon accosting you this morning at the Tavistock, I much regretted my want of confidence, when on enquiring of one of the gentlemen with whom I had seen you converse, I found myself right in my conjecture.' He begs the recipient's favour of his company at dinner the following day, 'or on any other day (except Friday or Saturday next) & at any other hour that may be more convenient to you during your stay in London'. 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'.…

Denman was noted for his eccentricities. From 1884 he sat as a crossbencher, and introduced a number of bills on women's suffrage, none of which gained a second reading. 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. The first page heavily-spotted, and with the cross-written signature over-written, probably by a child; otherwise lightly-aged and worn. Denman begins by informing him that he is going to send him a book: 'Thevenot Voyage [sic] Curieux, it has the Embassies of your name sake in 1616 to the Great Mogul you have his Arms & quarter wheat sheaf it is in French, and the name is spelt Rhoe'. He has given a copy of the book in one volume to the House of Lords Library. He 'heartily' congratulates him on his 'well deserved honor'. The letter continues: 'You will be pleased to see there is progress in Women's Suffrage which the Duke of Rutland has revived and Mr. Gladstone has apologized for his mistake being unaware of the ladies desire for it Sir Henry James will have to approve it, when it comes to the House of Commons'. In Denman's view 'Gladstone should accept a peerage as the first Earl of Chatham did he would improve the House of Lords you tell him so first opportunity'. Denman also wishes he 'will be able to make us a visit again'. …

Also, The Bankrupt and Insolvent Laws Clearly Explained; Both as Regards Debtors & Creditors, Shewing the Advantages and Disadvantages of Bankruptcy and Insolvency in Both Cases, Giving Ample Advice as to Arresting or Striking a Docquet Against a Debtor, And the Mode and Expenses Attending It.--To Which are Added, Instructions to Commence and Defend All Actions in Person, With the Actual Amount of Costs, Officers' Fees, &c. London: Printed by C. Baynes, Duke-Street, Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, for George Virtue, 26, Ivy-Lane, Paternoster-Row [et al.], 1828. 768 pp. With a tissue-guarded copperplate frontispiece of Lord Brougham. Octavo (8-1/4" x 5"; 20.7 x 13 cm). Contemporary three-quarter calf over marbled boards, gilt title and fillets to spine. Moderate rubbing to boards, heavier rubbing to extremities with some wear to corners, front joints partially cracked, early owner inscription (of William Jones Cumbermont) to front endleaf, a few cracks to text block, all leaves secure. Light toning to interior, light soiling and inkstains, none affecting legibility, in a few places.

This work was a vital resource for the 19th-century merchant class, providing accessible guidance on bankruptcy, debt collection ("striking a docquet"), and litigation. Its author, Thomas Denman, was one of the era's most formidable legal minds.

Evidence for this early state is found at the foot of page 768, where a publisher's note explains that the legislative appendix (found in subsequent editions) was omitted pending the "revision and consolidation" of the acts-a process finalized shortly before the final 1828 release, which has an appendix number.…

Subsequent editions, none with edition statements, in 1830, 1832 and 1852. A "new edition, revised, corrected and enlarged" with a different title was published by George Virtue in the 1830s with revisions by Thomas Jonathan Wooler [1786-1853].
