About this Item
Bi-fold, chain lined paper, with two pages of large handed script. Charles writes that he has been very unwell, missed an event, but invites the recipient to take tea. Signs, 'Yrs Very Truly, C Swain." Swain was an honorary professor of poetry at the Manchester Royal Institution, and in 1856 was granted a civil list pension. He joined Lockett & Co., a firm of engravers and lithographers in Manchester. He had artistic interests as indicated by his memoir of Henry Liverseege, the Mancunian artist, and books such as A Cabinet of Poetry and Romance: Female Portraits from the Writings of Byron and Scott (1845) and he went on to buy the engraving department from the firm and to run it himself. Swain was friends with Robert Southey and with other literary names. His poems had been published in journals from 1822 onwards and he had also had various more substantial works published, such as Metrical Essays on Subjects of History and Imagination (1827), Beauties of the Mind: a Poetical Sketch with Lays Historical and Romantic (1831) and The Mind (1832).
