Comprises 1 autograph letter from William Dowton to [Robert] Keel[e]y, undated (with a transcript), and 2 printed portraits of William Dowton, one engraved by T. Blood from an original painting by S. Drummond, and published in London for the European Magazine by J. Asperne Cornhill on 1 March 1813, the other depicting 'the late Mr. Dowton as Dr. Cantwell' shortly after his death in 1851 and giving his date of birth as 25 April 1763, his date of death as 19 April 1851, and his age at death as 88 years, thus differing from the other sources. The bound volume includes a biography of Dowton which is much fuller than that contained in the Dictionary of National Biography.
