Per Wikipedia, The Literary Magnet Was Started As A Weekly Magazine In 1824 With The Full Title The Literary Magnet Of The Belles Lettres, Science, And The Fine Arts, By Co-Editors Samuel Egerton Brydges And His Son Egerton Anthony Brydges Under The Joint Pseudonym Tobias Merton (Perhaps An Anagram Of Their Names).[A] Its First Series Was Published By William Charlton Wright, And Ran Until June 1824. Egerton Anthony Brydges Seems To Have Stopped Editing The Magazine Near The Start Of Volume Two, With No Evidence Of Any Contributions From Him After The Second Issue, And His Father's Contributions Seem Only To Have Continued Until The Eighth Issue. An Unknown Editor Using The Initials "J. H. H." Effectively Took Over From Issue Nine. Towards The End Of The Second Series, After The Fiftieth Sixteen-Page Weekly Issue Of The Magazine, It Was Turned Into A Monthly Magazine. The Third Volume, Published 1825, Changed Publishers To George Wightman, And Started To Include Colour Plates. Part Way Through This Volume, The Magazine Was Divided Into Two Parts: "The Literary Magnet" And "The Monthly Journal". A Fourth Volume, Dated 1825, Completed The Magazine's First Series. The Editorship Changed At Least Once More To Another Unknown Figure Before The End Of The First Series, Though The Pen-Name Tobias Merton Was Kept Throughout This Series As The Nominal Editor, And As A Character In Its "Round Table" Columns.

Watts Became The Anonymous Editor For Volumes Two (July To December 1826), Three (January To June 1827), And Four (July To December 1827).

See the two men's entries in the Oxford DNB. A long letter, covering all four sides of a 12mo bifolium with mourning border, with the first pages written conventionally on the recto of the first leaf, and the rest written lengthwise. Signed 'Joseph Hatton' and addressed to 'Alexander Ireland Esq'. In good condition, on aged and worn paper, with tape from mount adhering to the second leaf. Folded once. There were some doubts regarding Frank Hatton's death in the jungles of Borneo, but the accepted account was that he had been accidentally shot. Begins: 'In the midst of the bitterest sorrow of a life that has not been all sunshine, your excellent biographic sketch of Emerson has afforded me some hours of consolatory relief. I have read over & over again the great prose-poet's lines on the death of his child, Waldo, adapting them with human selfishness to my own loss, for in respect of my dear & only boy it might also with truth be said he / - "did adorn / The world whereinto he was born." [the quotation is from Emerson's poem 'Threnody']'. He moves on to a discussion of 'Carlyle's words' to the sister of 'Mr Neuberg'. He characterizes his son as 'self-sacrificing, affectionate' and 'wise & gentle'. With regard to his book 'A Modern Ulysses' he writes: 'Portions of my new novel which is published almost simultaneously with the announcement of his death were written for him, dealing with that part of the world in which he was at work; and I had looked forward to talking over with him the shortcomings of my imaginary travels. In the midst of our [reflecting?] upon his return, the news that he is dead & buried. Your kind heart will tell you how we have suffered, how we do suffer.' He is sending Ireland the novel, and asks for his 'Book-Lover's Enchiridion'. In a postscript he states that he hopes to be able to refer to the Ireland's Emerson piece in the New York Times. …

An interesting letter linking two similar individuals (like Baines, Buckingham had also served as a Yorkshire Member of Parliament, in his case for Sheffield as a radical between and 1835; and both men were newspaper proprietors). See the entries for Baines, with those for Buckingham and his son, in the Oxford DNB. 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and folded for postage. Addressed to 'J. S. Buckingham, Esq' and signed 'Edw Baines'. He begins by saying that he will try and promote Buckingham's 'son's introduction to this part of the country, as a Lecturer'. (According to L. S. Buckingham's ODNB entry, his travels with his father had provided him with 'experiences that he later put to good use when he was a lecturer'.) A difficulty the son will face, Baines feels, 'will be the name he bears, for his father's reputation is so high that it will not be easy to sustain the comparison'. Baines goes on to explains a change which has taken place from the former means of 'negociating between Lecturers & their Institutes in our Yorkshire Union', adding that if Buckingham will send him the subjects of his son's lectures, he will 'recommend it to our Committee for their Mid-Summer list'. He also offers to lay newspaper testimonials 'before the Committee of our Leeds Institute: but I believe they have made their arrangements for this season.' He turns to 'the Total Abstinence cause', to which J. S. Buckingham has 'rendered immense service'. Baines has recently published his own 'Testimony' ('of which you may be pleased to see a copy'). He feels 'a difficulty in advocating the Maine Liquor Law, on the ground of its interference will personal liberty. But the American democrats are putting the wholesome chain upon themselves very fast.' He ends by conveying his family's regards to Buckingham's.…

The two items in fair condition, on aged and worn paper. ONE: To 'C. Lavers Smith, Esq'. 21 April 1903. 2pp., landscape 8vo. He asks 'whether prints are to be had of Nell Gwynne's reputed birthplace at Hereford'. He made enquiries about the house in Hereford on the previous Saturday. 'It was pulled down in 1861; but in 1858 two photographs of it were taken, and I found an old photographer who had negatives which he promised to lend to me for a small consideration. I was pleased to get them.' As Lavers-Smith knows 'a great deal more' about the subject, he will be pleased to hear whether he has 'seen any old prints of the house. The Hereford people are firmly convinced that Nell was born in their city. They have put up a tablet in the wall behind which the house stood, & they have turned the name of the street from Water Lane into Gwynne Street.' In a postscript he thanks him 'for the admirable review of Grammont'. TWO: To 'H. Lavers-Smith, Esq. | Woodstock, Ditton Hill, Surbiton'. 4 May 1903. 1p., landscape 8vo. He thanks him for his letter, and hopes that 'Mr. Brick will allow me to make a block from his photograph of the house in Drury Lane.' He continues: 'Mr. Goodwin is emphatic on the subject of Nell Gwynne's birthplace. He insists that she was born at Oxford & had nothing to do with the Hereford house. Still the Hereford house was a picturesque old place and I intend to give illustrations of it.' He ends by thanking him for a reference to 'Notes & Queries'.…
