No Binding. Zustand: Fine. This original handwritten letter, dated October 29, 1888, is penned on official blue-stamped stationery from the Society of Arts (now the Royal Society of Arts) in London. Signed by the institution's long-serving Secretary, H.T. Wood, the letter is addressed to the prominent English Shakespearean scholar and metricist F.G. Fleay. In this fascinating piece of Victorian academic correspondence, Wood formally rejects Fleay's submitted manuscript titled "Harmonies of Sound and Colour," noting that a committee concluded the paper was "not quite suitable for reading before the Society." This document provides a superb historical glimpse into the 19th-century academic peer-review process and the Victorian era's cross-disciplinary fascination with aesthetics and the relationship between sound and visual arts.
