2pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. On lightly aged and ruckled paper, with slight damage at head of gutter. The letter would appear to concern a contribution intended for 'The Juvenile Forget Me Not', the annual Mrs S. C. Hall began editing in the late 1820s. begins: 'My dear Mrs. Hall | I sent you the story or rather the bit of a story you have - because you asked for it. Therefore if you like it, the pay is not to be considered - But at the same time if you dont like it, pray dont think of using it out of courtesy. I am not vain, and will not be at all affronted if such should be the case - especially as I am so deeply engaged at present with graver work that I find it difficult to subtract some thoughts for lighter matter.' She concludes by stating that she is sorry Mrs Hall cannot help her 'poor protégé'. After noting S. C. Hall's 'kind reception of my young relation', a long postscript returns to the story, asking her, if she does publish it, to get the publisher to 'send the magazine for the three months I shall be here. [.] I want to have postage stamps to the office for it - but I am in a place so primitive [i.e. Rosneath] that the obtaining of postage stamps is a matter requiring forethought.'.

Moderate scattered foxing throughout. Samuel Carter Hall (1800-1889), English journal editor and writer, grew up largely in Ireland and on moving to London became a fixture on the literary scene, struggling as a jobbing author and editor before reaching some stability in 1838 as editor of Landseer's 'The Art-Union' journal, later 'The Art Journal' and 'the pioneer of fine-art journalism in Britain' (ODNB): the 1840s were to be Carter Hall's heyday and 'Ireland: Its Scenery, Character, &c.' one of his most successful productions, 'well-illustrated' as might be expected from a now-established art critic and journalist, and receiving 'a good reception as a mixed travelogue and social commentary' (ODNB). Hall's collaborator on this and many other works was his wife Anna Maria Hall (nee Fielding), born in Dublin and equally prolific as a writer in 'all the popular genres of the booming early Victorian publishing industryhistorical, touristic, domestic, moral, melodramatic' but whose most 'popular and significant works were Irish in subject matter' (ODNB). The Halls produced a constant stream of popular writing - '(b)y the end of their career, Carter Hall estimated that between them they had produced 545 books' - but 'Ireland' stands as arguably their most characteristic and successful productions. A handsome set. ~Robust packaging. Overseas orders trackable on request. Size: xii, 435 + viii, 468 + viii, 512pp. Binding sound, text unmarked.
