Manuskript / Papierantiquität Signiert
1p., foolscap 8vo. On wove paper watermarked 'G R | 1806'. Aged, and with fraying to extremities, with closed tears through three of the signatures, unobtrusively repaired on the reverse with archival tape. Presumably a draft or second copy, as the original must be among the papers of the Society of Antiquaries. The document reads: 'To the Right Hon. George Earl of Leicester, | President of the Society of Antiquaries. | My Lord, | We whose names are hereunto subscribed request leave to signify to your lordship that Edward-Wedlake [sic] Brayley, Esq. of Wildernes Row London is desirous of the honour of becoming a member of the Society of Antiquaries, and as he is a gentleman greatly conversant with the history and antiquities of this kingdom, which he has shewn by several valuable and interesting publications, we think he will, if chosen, be a very useful member of the Society. | [signed] Monkhouse | [signed] Saml. Foart Simmons | [signed] M Garthshore | [signed] J. P. Malcolm.' Maxwell Garthshore (1732-1812) was a Scottish physician and Fellow of the Royal Society; James Peller Malcolm (1767-1815) was an Anglo-American topographer and engraver; Rev. Mark Noble (1754-1827), was a biographer; Samuel Foart Simmons (1750-1813), was a physician.
