Manuskript / Papierantiquität
12mo, 4 pp. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Her 'constant practice' has always been to return her thanks for the gift of a poetry volume 'before I could possibly have had time to read it', but in this case 'this caution was impossible for I received your little Vol: in all the hurry of leaving town, & I may say England, for I shall not return to London before our departure'. She is glad she was not able to write before reading the poems 'with the attention they merit & with all the pleasure they have given me'. She is 'conscious of a most prosaic head, & was hardly ever guilty of a even in my youngest days'. She praises several poems as speaking 'to the heart & understanding have either to be spoken to'. His 'accents' are 'always unaffected, & generally both forcible & harmonious'. She describes a 'notice' of his as 'an idea on which my mind had often dwelt', and quotes one line of verse approvingly. She will soon offer him 'a Vol: of dull Prose, which (you will believe me when I say) I heartily wish was better for your sake'. She ends by expressing the hope that she and her sister may see him at Petersham before they leave at the end of the month. Sharp's 'Epistles in Verse' was published anonymously by John Murray in London in 1828.

1p., 12mo. 12 lines. Good on lightly-aged paper. She is requesting 'an alteration to be made in the Contents of Chapr 9. to the necessity of which I had not adverted till I saw that Chapr. in Print'. After correcting the chapter she 'desired a Revise', but 'foolishly forgot to Revise the Contents of the Chapr.' 'It cannot however be too late & must be done, as the Chapr: ends with Mr Fox'. The work referred to is clearly Miss Berry's 'Comparative View', published by Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown & Green in 1828, the ninth and last chapter of which does indeed end with Charles James Fox.
