Walpole, Horace, 1717-1797. A series of autograph letters to his friend Rev. Dr. Lort concerning Thomas Chatterton and his spurious writings; also in vindication of himself, / Horace Walpole, Lord Orford, 1788-1789.

Title: A series of autograph letters to his friend Rev. Dr. Lort concerning Thomas Chatterton and his spurious writings; also in vindication of himself, / Horace Walpole, Lord Orford, 1788-1789.

Manuscript, in Walpole's hand, of four letters written to to the Rev. Dr. Michael Lort in vindication of his conduct towards Thomas Chatterton. He summarizes, refutes, and mocks the charges brought against him by William Barrett, writer of a history of Bristol; the Rev. Andrew Kippis; and an anonymous letter writer. He also thanks Lort for his support; asserts that Chatterton did not give him any indication of genius; emphasizes Chatterton's forgeries; and expresses his irritation at having become involved in defending his own conduct. The letters are dated at Strawberry Hill in 1788 and 1789. Accompanying the letters is the original folded paper envelope in which they were returned to Walpole by Mrs. Lort, on which appears a note signed by Walpole, "My letters to Dr. Lort returned by his widow after his death. Two or Three about Chatterton are very particular & worth preserving." A typewritten transcript accompanies each letter, and the collection is prefaced with engraved portraits of Walpole and Chatterton, as well as a title page and biography about Chatterton handwritten in black and red ink.
