See his entry, and that of Colburn, in the Oxford DNB. Campbell agreed to edit Colburn's 'New Monthly Magazine' in 1820, his first number in the post being that of January 1821, and the letter was presumably written between this period and Mrs Campbell's death in 1828. The reference to 'Mr Ollier' would close the dates even further: the Oxford DNB's entry for Charles Ollier (1788-1859) stating that, after financial difficulties, 'by the autumn of 1825 he returned to the publishing trade as the chief literary reader and adviser to Henry Colburn in New Burlington Street'. 1p, 12mo. On the recto of the first leaf of a bifolium, the verso of the second leaf being addressed by Mrs Campbell to 'H. Colbourn Esqr / 8 New Burlington St- / In Mr Colbourn's absence to Mr Dubourg' (i.e. Colburn's agent George Dubourg). Campbell's misspelling of Colburn's name is puzzling, considering his professional association with him. In good condition on browned and lightly-worn paper. With folds for postage. The first eleven words are in a more inky style than the rest of the letter: 'Mrs Campbell thanks Mr Colbourn for the volume about the Catholics but will not have occasion to keep it - Mr Campbell requests to have the proof sheet of Hazlitt's article about which Mr Ollier spoke to him -'.
