Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. Elizabeth Barrett Browning's Letters to Mrs. David Ogilvy. Slight shelf wear to top edge of back D/J. These letters are the last major series of her correspondence to surface, having remained in private hands until 1971. In November 1971 they were suddenly offered for sale at Sotheby's in London by Mrs. Ogilvy's grandchild. Elizabeth described Mrs. Ogilvy as 'a pretty woman of quick perceptions and active intelligence and sensibility'. Besides having published several books of her own poetry, Mrs. Ogilvy wrote a memoir to introduce a collected edition of Elizabeth's poems in 1893. From this, the world first learned of their correspondence. In the memoir she states that Elizabeth asked her to keep the letters private. Unsuccessful in tracing descendants, scholars assumed the letters destroyed. Mras. Ogilvy's memoir is published in this volume from her original manuscript as is an early unpublished essay on their friendship. Intimate and highly revealing, these letters inform her valued frieend about her travels, plans and actions. They express her feelings about her private affiars (her love of Robert Browning and his care for her; her devotion to their son Pen and her longing for a daughter). They give her thoughts on subjects ranging from political events to the literary efforts of fellow authors. Especially in the last years of her life when her health declined, they demonstrate a remarkable and passionate commitment to life. 220 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.).

3pp., 4to. Bifolium In good condition, lightly aged. Laid down on the blank reverse of the second leaf is a frank (also signed 'Suffield'), addressed to 'Jn. Richardson Esqr. | Heydon | Aylsham | Norfolk' An excellent letter, containing a splendid assessment of Brougham's qualities, and a vivid reminiscence regarding his predecessor as Lord Chancellor, Lord Eldon. The identity of the book that is the subject of the letter is unclear. Suffield begins by reporting that Brougham has promised Suffield that he will 'attentively consider' Richardson's book. He explains how difficult it is to 'catch Ld. Bs. ear', and describes 'the throng, the busy anxious & generally consequential throng around him', before praising Brougham fulsomely: 'How any man can daily & hourly endure such intensity of thought as some of his duties require, interrupted & distracted as it frequently is by an infinite variety of important questions to be answered on the instant, how any man can endure this & retain his senses is to me wholly incomprehensible. Still he does endure it, his assiduity as a Judge, as my friend Docr. Lushington told me the other day, will if he continue it, kill half the profession, & in spite of all this he reads more than any of us. Books pamphlets & newspapers he has read them all, he has even by this time I dare say read your scheme, his attention being called to it by the letter which I put into his hands. You shall hear from me again when I have again an opportunity of speaking to this extraordinary personage, & that opportunity I will make after allowing him a reasonable time to have read & considered your book,' He concludes with a reminiscence of 'old Chancellor Eldon', 'an agreeable man' with whom Suffield had 'only a slight acquaintance, yet during a dull debate I used to sit by him on the Woolsack, take snuff & chat with him pleasantly on any subject that occurred to me'. Returning to Brougham he states that he has 'long been in habits of intimacy' with 'the present Chancellor', yet he has 'not conversed with him five times, & then only on business of importance, since he came into office': 'I mention these things in order to convey to you some idea of the man we have to deal with, & to account for my not having sooner urged your book upon his immediate attention, I mean your last edition'.
