Paper. Condition: Good. First Edition. An Original Signed and Hand Written Letter by the Irish poet Thomas Moore. Dated 1832. The letter reads -'Sir, I have had the honour of receiving the copies which you were good enough to transmit to me of two resolutions passed at a general meeting of the Southwark Literary Society, conferring on me the very gratifying distinction of being an honorable member of their institution. I beg you to express my thankfulness to the President and members for the honour which they have thus done me, and am, Sir, Your very obliged and faithful servant, Thomas Moore'' Thomas Moore 1779-1852 was an Irish writer, poet, and lyricist celebrated for his Irish Melodies. Their setting of English-language verse to old Irish tunes marked the transition in popular Irish culture from Irish to English. Politically, Moore was recognised in England as a press, or "squib", writer for the aristocratic Whigs; in Ireland he was accounted a Catholic patriot. Today Moore is remembered almost alone either for his Irish Melodies (typically "The Minstrel Boy" and "The Last Rose of Summer") or, less generously, for the role he is thought to have played in the loss of the memoirs of his friend Lord Byron. Size is 230mm x 185mm. Condition is average. Paper age toned and creased. More images can be taken upon request. Ref17611. Signed by Author(s).

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. MOORE, Thomas Sturge (1870-1944). Two autograph letters signed to editor Rolfe Arnold Scott-James (1878-1959). 40 Well Walk, N.W.3, 27 September 1938 and 21 February 1939. Two autograph letters signed, each 1 page, c. 180 x 230 mm. Both folded for posting, with light creasing and some scattered spotting, more noticeable to the earlier letter, but both very good. In the letter of 27 September 1938, Irish poet, artist and writer Moore asks Scott-James to return two pieces from his series 'Provocations', noting that he does not seem inclined to make use of them and that he has been approached for another section of the series elsewhere. It is well known that Sturge Moore struggled to find publication for these later poems. In the letter of 21 February 1939, he sends 'a couple of sonnets and a note on them', expressing the hope that Scott-James may wish to print them in the London Mercury, and adding a stamped addressed envelope for their return if unsuitable. A neat pair of letters showing Moore submitting work to Scott-James in his capacity as editor of the London Mercury. Signed by Author(s).

L'ouvrage fut publié en quatre livraisons. La premičre parut le 5 septembre 1827 et les trois autres sortirent en męme temps le 16 aoűt 1828 (voir Bibliographie de la France). Les exemplaires ŕ la date de 1827 sont donc composés de ces quatre livraisons. Ceux datés d'aoűt 1828 comprennent les trois derničres livraisons en édition originale de 1828, la premičre ayant été réimprimée avec une nouvelle préface de l'auteur. Précieux exemplaire offert par Halévy ŕ l'éditeur et homme de lettres Charles Louis Fleury Panckoucke (1780-1844) et ŕ son épouse la peintre et illustratrice, élčve de Redouté, Ernestine Panckoucke (1784-1860).

London: Printed for Thomas Page and William Mount, 1728. Full Description: [MORE, Sir Thomas, Association]. ROPER, William. LEWIS, J., Editor. The Life and Death of Sir Thomas Moore, Knt. Lord High-Chancellor of England, In the Reign of K. Henry the Viiith. Written by William Rooper, Esq; Prothonotary of the King's Bench: To Which is added from Sir Thomas's English Works some Letters of His, &c. referred to in the Account of his Life. London: Printed for Thomas Page and William Mount, 1728. First Lewis/Roper edition. Roper first published this work in 1626 as 'The mirrour of vertue in worldly greatnes' (No copy of this title as auction sine 1965). In Dibdin's Biography of Sir Thomas More, he refers to the 1729 Roper/Lewis edition as being the first edition thus and calls it "rather scarce", our present copy is 1728. The 1729 copy Preface is signed by Lewis, whereas the 1728 edition is not. ESTC lists only one copy in the United States of this 1728 edition and we could find no other copies at auction. Octavo (8 1/2 x 5 inches; 217 x 127 mm). [2, blank], 184, [8, index and errata], [2, blank] pp. With a folding chart of Roper's family tree. Engraved head and tail pieces and initials. Contemporary full speckled calf. Boards ruled in gilt. Spine stamped in gilt. Red morocco spine label, lettered in gilt. Hinges and spine with repairs. Previous early ink signatures on front endpapers and a few matching early ink notations in the text. Overall a very good copy. William Roper is reputedly the earliest personal biography in the English language. He was also More's son-in-law having married his eldest and favorite daughter Margaret. "Roper's Life of More. is an attractive personal memoir, marked by candour, modesty, and strong loyalty. It is based explicitly on personal recollection, which, however, sometimes needs correction. Roper's portrait of More as a model lord chancellor has been modified in detail by later scholarship, and there is a serious anachronism in his last paragraph (fully discussed by R. W. Chambers in Harpsfield, 353-5) . But the book remains an English classic, the earliest personal biography in the language. It has also left its mark on all subsequent writing on More." (Oxford DNB). "The Mirrour of Vertue in Worldly Greatnes, or The Life of Sir Thomas More, Knight, sometime Lord Chancellor of England, was first imprinted in the year 1626, at Paris, according to the title-page, though it has been suggested, without any definite proof, that the book was not really printed abroad. The author of the Life, William Roper, Sir Thomas More's son-in-law, died in 1578; he had possibly not completed his book at the end of Queen Mary's reign. Before the Life appeared in print the manuscript version had already been utilised by various biographers of Sir Thomas More, notably by Stapleton, whose Tres Thomae appeared at Antwerp in 1588; by Nicholas Harpsfield, whose work is preserved in Harleian Manuscript and by Cresacre More, his great-grandson. Thomas Hearne, the famous antiquary, reprinted William Roper's book in the year 1716, but his text is almost as faulty as that of the editio princeps, though he had better manuscript materials at his disposal he added various readings and emendations at the end of his volume. In 1729 the Rev. John Lewis, the biographer of Wiclif and Caxton, edited the Life from a fairly good mauscript lent him by Mr. Thomas Beake, of Stourmouth, in Kent. " (Preface to the 1905 Edition). "It was Lewis who found William Roper's Life of Sir Thomas More in need of careful editing, for no one had attempted to refute the authenticity of the few pirated copies that were in existence, and the Hearn Manuscript of the Life was considered too illegible a document for any scholar's effort. Lewis.during his stay at Cambridge, found manuscripts other than Hearne's, and after careful comparisons, he was able in 1729 [this copy 1728] to bring out an edition of Roper's Life of More that has served all subsequent editors" (Longaker, English Biography p. 196).

In his reply, Nicolson regretfully declines, explaining: 'As you may have seen I have been asked to do the official biography of George V, and this entails going through the whole of the Windsor archives bearing on that period. Of course there is no time limit within which I have to do the book, but I am anxious to get all the written material into my head before living witnesses lose their memory, or their health. For this reason I have decided that I shall give no lectures or speeches during the coming year other than those to which I was already committed.'
