4pp., 8vo. Bifolium. In very good condition, lightly-aged. Neatly placed with a windowpane mount onto a leaf of cream paper. Writing within a year of his demise, D'Orsay begins by defending himself to his attorney: 'My Dear Du Pasquier | You received my letter yesterday about Mousley. I could not act otherwise, and even I have no right to complain when a man is losing more than 5000 by me, to find fault that he did not send me £1300. I am astonished that you are so severe. I am sorry that you will not give your assistance in this affair. Do as you like. I said to Mousley that I would not act without you, now you release me of my word, I have written to him that I will sign the Deed when he chooses.' He now turns to 'Simonnet', who has drawn a cheque on Pasquier without notice, as he is 'embarrassed in his affairs'. Regarding a 'difference in the account' he explains: 'You do not calculate, the Models, of the Queen, and the Wellington and Lions, which are still in his hands, and which are belonging to you, when you call for them.' The 'Second Wellington' has arrived at the custom house and is 'much better, according to your taste, as it is done au R and you are wrong not to take it, as I am sure the Duke would take one. - The head is admirable. ' he asks if Pasquier 'had the Reins & & of the Queen changed by Matifal. You ought if it is not done. - The End of all this, will be that I will be obliged to buy all these things you refuse from Simonnet - Thats Comfortable for me!!' The letter continues with a reference to 'Reid's business', 'Davis' and 'Ford': 'Yes they can annoy me here, not arresting my person, but make Trials, and possibly obtain judgment to sell my Effects, and if one English Creditor begun, [sic] there is no reason why others would not go on.' He consequently asks him to do all he can 'with Morel'. He concludes with a reference to a 'Nephew' who is 'in London to bring me back the powder'.…

One page, 12mo, bifolium, good condition apart from 1/4in. strip of glue from previous laying down on blank page [4]. In French. "Mon Cher Albert | J'ai recu ce matin un Billet du Dr Elliotson [note below] qui dans ce moment n'a aucun sujet digne d'etre montre a vos Dames. Mais si vous tenez a les Etonner magnetiquement, cela vous coutera 5£. allez chez Mr Marcillet qui demeure Maddox St. No. 5. fixez le jour d'une seance pour voir Alexis [a clairvoyant. See Notes below], dites que vous venez de ma part et vous conviendrez avec moi, que ce garcon bouleverse le monde de fond encomble. Tout a vous | d'Orsay". Translation provided on request.Note: a. Elliotson, John, 1791-1868, distinguished professor of medicine, for example "He was always at the 'leading edge' of his profession: he was one of the first in Britain to use and promote the stethoscope, and one of the first to use acupuncture" [see Wikipedia]; b. [Marcillet] A website on "The Orphic Circle Meets At Craven Cottage" suggest that Elliotson and Marcillet were involved in Spiritualism ("The Orphic Circle Meets At Craven Cottage") as does this letter by d'Orsay. "Alexis was a French boy" -- Alexis was Alexis Didier, the clairvoyant controlled by J.B. Marcillet, whom Dickens first encountered at John Elliotson's (or was it at Craven Cottage?) and subsequently raved of in his correspondence as "the Magnetic Boy". We are clearly seeing here a glimpse of Didier as a child, during his first stint in London in 1844.".…

Condizione: Good. 4 colour aquatints on rag paper. Sheet size 41.5 x 34.5 cm. Hamilton pinx. Gabrieli [& Bonato] sculp. William Hamilton RA (1751 - 1801):RA Collection: People and Organisations.Born in Chelsea, West London, in 1751, Hamilton spent time studying in Italy before entering the Royal Academy Schools in 1769. Although he had previously studied architectural draughtsmanship, he chose to pursue painting at this time. He exhibited four paintings at the Royal Academy in 1774, and by 1789 was elected as a Royal Academician. In the early part of his career, Hamilton focused on portraitur but he later began to paint subjects from poetry, history and the Bible.Hamilton was also employed by print galleries to illustrate popular themes and literature. His representations of Shakespearean scenes were not well-received but his rural scenes were fashionable. Perhaps the most popular of these were his illustrations to James Thomson's The Seasons (1730). This poem describes rural Britain and reflects on the role nature plays as an intermediary between Heaven and Earth. Hamilton's illustrations, such as The Monarch Swain were published in 1797 engraved by Francesco Bartolozzi RA and P.W. Tomkins. There is a copy of the book in the Royal Academy Library.…
