The four letters are in good condition, with light signs of age and wear. Written in Payne's neat and mannered hand, and all four signed 'J Bertrand Payne'. For the background to the correspondence see Jim Cheshire's article 'The Fall of the House of Moxon', Victorian Poetry, Spring 2012. Payne was manager of the London publishing house Edward Moxon & Co., celebrated for their association with poets. In the third letter offered here Payne writes that an 'organic disease of the heart to which I am an hereditary martyr' has caused him to give up his 'Chair of Office at Dover st', but the truth was otherwise. Payne had been forced out following the disastrous publication of a sumptuous edition of Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King', illustrated by Gustav Doré, which was a major factor in the poet's leaving the firm with which he had long been associated. (In spring of 1869, shortly after the writing of the third letter, Tennyson angrily dismissed him as 'peacock Payne'.) In September 1868 Payne had attempted to sell what he claimed was his share in the business to Edward Moxon's widow for £11,457. This 'share' was later proved in court to be the property of the firm itself, and the valuation was fraudulently inflated. In 1871 Moxon's widow instituted legal proceedings against Payne, and when he was found guilty on appeal of the fraud he was ruined. He would not be able to pay off his creditors until 1892. In 1864 Pennell published his poetry collection 'Crescent and other Lyrics' with Moxon's, and the first two letters concern the disposal of the remainders of the book. ONE: 17 October 1868. On letterhead of 44 Dover Street, Piccadilly. 1p., 12mo. Notifying him that 'Hodgson the Auctioneer of Chancery Lane sold the copies of "Crescent," but I am unable to tell you the people who bought them.' TWO: 26 October 1868. On Dover Street letterhead. 1p., 12mo. Payne has 'secured 75 cloth copies of your "Crescent," which compose the sole remnant left of the Edition. They are here, awaiting yr. instructions, & you will please me if you will kindly accept them as a Signe de [?] from a deep debtor to yr. Kindness.' He concludes by asking him if he has his 'ancient wish to be an M.P? If so I can help you, & that without costing you more than a bagatelle'. THREE: 22 February 1869. The Grange, Brompton. 4pp., 12mo. Bifolium. 'For once, the report you heard about my giving up my Chair of Office at Dover st, was more than half true. An organic disease of the heart to which I am an hereditary martyr, has made all anxiety dangerous to me. Having enough of the "lubricating metal" to keep me in comfort, it occurred to me easier far to wander down the thymy bye ways of literature, than to climb the arid rocks which environ the temple of Plutus.' He next turns to Pennell's book 'Puck on Pegasus', published in 1868 with illustrations by Leech and Tenniel: 'I am very glad to see that "Puck" in his latest brilliant form, has been received with the same favour & éclat with which his jeunesse dorée was surrounded. This book has certainly given you a name which far older men than yourself might envy'. When Pennell is next in town, Payne proposes to give him 'a copy of the Complete Doré Idylls, which I fancy may possess some interest for you as a lover of Art'. FOUR: 23 May 1869. With embossed mark of the Conservative Club. No place. 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Begins: 'A few days after we had the pleasure of seeing you in the placid Vales of Brompton, we went to spend some time in Paris, whence we returned last Saturday.' He is going to 'inflict' on Pennell a 'little histoiriette' (possibly 'The Anglican Mysteries of Paris, Revealed in the Stirring Adventures of Captain Mars and his two friends Messieurs Scribbley & Daubiton', which Payne produced with illustrations by John Moyr Smith, published by Moxons with the date 1870). 'Now however it lies at this palatial Club, awaiting your mandate, & I hope you will accept the book as a very inadequate expression of the sens.

The three letters are in good condition, lightly aged. All three signerd 'J Bertrand Payne'. The first has a letterhead in red, the other two have a different letterhead in blue. Both designs feature exuberant monograms and lettering in Victorian Gothic type, which, together with Payne's exuberant handwriting (the last letter also being written in purple ink), accurately reflect the character of the man Tennyson angrily dismissed as 'peacock Payne'. Three excellent letters, the background to which is of interest. The first was written when Payne was manager of the London publishing house Edward Moxon & Co., celebrated for their association with poets. In that same year Moxon's widow would take him to court for fraud, following the disastrous publication of an edition of Tennyson's 'Idylls of the King', illustrated by Gustav Doré, which was a major factor in the poet's leaving the firm with which he had long been associated. By the time the second letter was written Payne had been found guilty on appeal of the fraud; he was ruined, and would not be able to pay off his creditors until 1892. (See Jim Cheshire's article 'The Fall of the House of Moxon', Victorian Poetry, Spring 2012.) The third letter is written later in 1873, with Payne about to launch ('incognito', in order to avoid 'persecution') his magazine 'The King of Arms: A Journal of Family History, Art, Literature, and Fashion', which would only run for four numbers, from October 1873 to January 1874. ONE: 6 November 1871. 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. The letter begins: 'The welcome sight of your colossal form, as you loomed thro' the fog the other Sabbath night set me thinking as to whether I might be of use to you in keeping your name well before the public as - | Ye Grave Troubadour | The result of my reflections was to lend my Copy of your "Crescent?" to my old friend the Chevalier de Chatelain [i.e. Ernest de Chatelain (1801-1881)] who is preparing the fourth & last volume of his metrical translations from the British Poets. He has done an exquisite translation of one of your smaller pieces, & desires, I believe, to insert two of your "Lays" in his work.' The letter continues in the same florid vein, with references to 'this meeting of British Apollos' and 'the Gallic Chevalier'. He ends in the hope that HCP is 'in the full Enjoyment of your Sybarite life'. TWO: 1 July 1873. 1p., 4to. Having been ruined by the court judgment, Payne is forced to appeal to charity, and he thanks HCP for 'writing a most excellent letter on my behalf to the R[oyal]. L[iterary]. F[und] a kindness that I assure you I shall not easily forget.' Payne's wife is pregnant, and would appear to be estranged from him, as he writes that 'to add to my manifold troubles, this faithful partner of my woes is about to present me with another olive-branch which I shall not fail to name Miseremus!' At the foot of the letter Payne has drawn a skull and crossbones, with the postscript: 'You have doubtless learned that Mors hath smitten down the "little Ishmaelite!"' THREE: 5 September 1873. 1p., 4to. Written in purple ink, but in a closer and more restrained hand than the other two letters. Regarding his forthcoming magazine 'The King of Arms', he states that he is sending HCP 'a prospectus of the new journal, in which you will see your very judicious hints have been duly observed'. He asks him to get his publisher 'to advertise "Puck et Socii" in the first number, which will come out on the 27th instant', as this will 'help to give the infant journal a hoist and I do not think the advert would do you any harm as a notice of your last chef d'oeuvre will be the first of the literary critiques of the K. of A.' Payne's involvement in the journal is clearly being kept a secret, as he asks HCP to 'Guard [] the incognito of the journal, otherwise I might be further annoyed by the bestial canaille, & I want to pursue the even tenor of my way, just now, without notice, interruption, or persecution.' He ends by in.
