8vo, 6 pp. Two bifoliums sewn together. On laid paper with Britannia watermark. Text clear and complete. Neatly written out at approximately 38 lines to the page. On aged paper, with slight damage to the first bifolium, the leaves of which are detaching at the spine. Some of the items have been lightly scored through in pencil, but are still legible. The inclusion of such items as '149 Blank Silk Paper for copying Maps' would appear to indicate that the document is an inventory (for probate?) of a cartographer's stock. Last two entries read '165 Blank Sheets of Paper for copying Maps. A Bond relating to the Honble. Thomas Howe. Prints to copy from. Several Plans of the River and Sound of Dawfoskee in South Carolina, survey'd by Captn. Gascoigne. | 166 Draught of Falklands Islands. Map of the Province of New York. La Cours de la Meuse. The Circle of the Inferior Rhine. Plans of Port Royal in South Carolina. Les Duchés de Lorraine & De Bar. Plans of the River & Sound of Dawfoskee in South Carolina.' The first two entries list items by John Hamilton Moore, a Scottish cartographer who, according to his obituary in the Gentleman's Magazine, was 'late teacher of Navigation on Tower-Hill, author of Moore's Navigation, Seaman's Daily Assistant, the Monitor, &c.'.

The present item gives the text of the poem described by Byron as 'the most perfect ode in the English language' before its first publication in the Newry Telegraph in April 1817. See Wolfe's entry in the Oxford DNB. The source of the present item is unclear. It is a photographic facsimile, many decades old, on both sides of a 4to leaf. In fair condition, slightly creased on browned paper, with negligible loss to margin at head. With five creases from folding. Addressed to 'John Taylor Esqe / at the Revd Mr. Armstrong's / Clonoully / Cashel'. A good photographic facsimile of an autograph letter, with nothing in Wolfe's actual hand. The photograph indicates some damage to the original letter from the opening of the seal, resulting in loss of a few words. The letter begins, without salutation: 'I have completed the Burial of Sir John Moore, & will here inflict it upon you; you have no one but yourself to blame, for praising the two stanzas that I told you so much -'. Wolfe now gives a fair copy of his celebrated poem, numbering the eight stanzas. Apart from accidentals the only variations from the version published a few months later are 'lanthorn' for 'lantern' and 'struck the note' for 'struck the hour'. The first seven stanzas fill up the first side of the letter after the opening paragraph, with the eighth on the reverse, which carries the address and postmark, and the following: 'Pray write soon - you may direct as usaly to Colley, & it will follow me to the Country. Give my love to Armstrong, & Believe me / My Dear John / Ever Yours / Charles Wolfe / I again say Remember [Constantine?] Elizabeth is to be drawn among them [?] - You will pardon me for being particular about any message from that quarter.'.
