Remarks on the conduct of James Orchard Halliwell : autograph draft by Sir Thomas Phillipps, [ca. after 1847].

Copy of a letter by the antiquary Joseph Hunter regarding the manuscript journal of English diplomat and poet, Sir Henry Wotton (1568-1639), that Halliwell transcribed for publication by the Camden Society. Hunter relates that during the negociations for publication, it was determined that while Halliwell had maintained the manuscript to have been previously unknown, his transcript had been copied from the original manuscript sold at the sale of B.H. Bright's manuscripts at Sotheby's on 1844 June 18.

1 manuscript (2 p.) ; 21 cm.
