"The Keys of Rabbi Solomon, Translated accurately from the Hebrew into English by Edward Hunter." [ca. 1830, Paper watermarked "Whatman, 1827."] 4to (8.75" x 7") 30 leaves. In red and black ink with numerous drawings accompanying text. Bound in custom modern morocco with blind-stamped symbols, housed in custom folding case lined in silk. Some light soiling to first leaf, else generally clean throughout with only an occasional blemish. Very Good. *************************** AN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE SOLOMON KEY. The translation is similar to that of Sibley Clavis, although it is debatable to what extent Hunter may or may not have relied upon the Clavis translation. The present manuscript is not a complete translation and is the only fragment of Hunter's translation available. The Hellfire Club used the present manuscript to produce a facsimile edition. It is unclear whether or not the stated translator used a pseudonym, and the interesting debate surrounding the translation and the translator certainly adds to the intrigue. In any case, the manuscript provides us with the perspective of an individual practitioner. An incredibly unique item.

Tennyson's hand, in one instance dated 1808 and initialed "G. C. T." George's impact on his son has been debated as having been both positive and negative. He was known to be a drunkard with tendencies toward temporary rage, but he was also a Cambridge educated clergyman who gave young Alfred free access to his library, educated Alfred on the classic poets, and encouraged him in his writing. Alfred would once declare “My father who was a sort of Poet himself thought so highly of my first essay that he prophesied I should be the greatest Poet of the Time." Alfred would become Poet Laureate in 1850. Sadly George died in 1831, some years before his son Alfred would become exactly what he'd hoped.

An important autograph letter signed from Hannah More to W. Cadell, regarding the charges of plagiarism leveled at More by Hannah Cowley. Bristol, August 17, 1779. 3 pp., 4to, laid paper. Creases, hole repaired near center removing one letter, 3 edges discreetly reinforced with tissue, a few tiny holes at folds, a few short closed tears to folds (none touching text.) *************************************** An important document shedding light on the Hannah More vs. Hannah Cowley controversy of the late 1770s. Cowley accused More of plagiarizing. At issue were More's "Percy" and "Fatal Falsehood." Cowley became convinced that More stole lines from Cowley's "Albina," having had her first suspicions after viewing More's "Percy." A battle ensued in the form of a paper war between the pair. Hannah More screams her defense and gives her raw and unfiltered opinion of Cowley (and her friends) in this lengthy letter to W. Cadell, of London. More remarks on the "abuse" she's endured from Cowley. "I wile [sic] keep to my word and have no more of this [debating/arguing] in public papers, if anything more must be done, it shall be done in a legal way... I hope they will not drive me to it." More continues saying that she supposes that Cowley "intends in this threaten'd preface to accuse me of stealing Percy also from this universal Tragedy of hers." The letter continues at length as More vents her frustrations and mentions various parties involved in the controversy. More describes her adversaries as "unprincipled wretches," and finally, having seemed to temporarily relieve her anger over the course of writing the letter, closes by writing, "But enough and too much of these people; I am sorry they are the cause of my giving you so much trouble and am angry with myself that they have it in their power to hurt my mind for a moment." Signed H. More. Hannah More would never write for the stage again following this dust-up, though she would go on to enjoy a fruitful literary career.

Lot of 20 photos (including 2 negatives), most between 3" and 5" in width though sizes vary. Most with either captions and/or Harrison Forman stamps to verso.

Archive of (mostly) copies of letters written by John Forman (Harrison Forman's son) while he was travelling in Africa with his father, Harrison, in 1961 (some from 1962 while John travelled alone in Asia.) John was about 15 years old at the time, and he sent numerous letters home telling his mother (and others) of his discoveries. The letters are typed and in good condition as they are housed in two albums. Some photos also accompany the numerous letters. Between the two binders, there are approximately 100+ sheet-protectors holding the contents. The letters truly provide a travel journal and the contents are rather interesting. Also includes a smaller binder entitled "Personal Letters from the Congo." A few other items also accompany the lot, including an issue of "Look" magazine in which baby photos (showing John playing the piano) are used. It appears that Harrison felt that his son may follow in his footsteps, as he and a young John traipsed across Africa. In his letters, the young John Forman sounds much like a reporter as he details his experiences and even delves into politics. A unique collection and an excellent journal of travel.
