A poignant letter. See Delane's entry in the Oxford DNB. 3pp, 16mo. Bifolium. In good condition, with neat thin strip from Victorian windowpane mount adhering to edges of second leaf. Folded for postage. 32 lines, closely written. Presumably with reference to his 'Life and Death of John of Barneveld', Motley begins: 'My dear Delane / Just before leaving England ten days ago in search of health (a fugitive very hard to catch) I begged Murray to send you a copy of a work which was to come out almost immediately. / It was placed in the printer's hands three or four days before my sudden & violent illness last summer, the exaggerated accounts of which you were so very kind in helping me to contradict.' He hopes that Delane will 'think it worthy of attention', and that he will 'find place for a review in the Times of the last work with which I am likely to trouble the public - at least for a long time to come'. He observes that Delane has always been 'most kind to my former efforts', concluding: 'My strength - which has been much used up by the journey hither will not allow me to add more than my sincere wishes for a happy new Year & assurance that I am / Most faithfully Yrs / J. L. Motley'.…

Condizione: Good. A Collection of 18 original printings of reviews by the major newspaper and cultural media. Ambassador John Lothrop Motley (1814 -)1877. Mounted on 9 ledger sheets, 31 x 42cm. .Ambassador John Lothrop Motley (April 15, 1814 - May 29, 1877) was an American author and diplomat. As a popular historian, he is best known for his works on the Netherlands, the three volume work The Rise of the Dutch Republic and four volume History of the United Netherlands. As United States Minister to Austria in the service of the Abraham Lincoln administration, Motley helped to prevent European intervention on the side of the Confederates in the American Civil War. He later served as Minister to the United Kingdom (Court of St. James) during the Ulysses S. Grant administration.In December , 1870 Mr. Motley sent a 62-page dispatch to Secretary Fish, titled "End of a Mission," in which he protested his recall and recounted the events leading to the dispatch of November 10. The Secretary followed with an even longer rejoinder sent, not to Motley, who was no longer in an official position and hadn't been when he had sent the dispatch, but to the chargé d'affaires, Benjamin Moran. Senator Sumner upbraided Mr. Grant and Mr. Fish on the Senate floor, then had the Senate publish all the documents related to the recall. In 1878 Oliver Wendell Holmes, a fellow Brahmin, wrote a memorial biography which was devoted to a defense of the former minister and a repudiation of his recall. John Jay, who had succeeded Mr. Motley in Vienna, published his own defense of him in 1877. Mr. Grant, after leaving the presidency, wrote a letter to the New York Herald reiterating that his reason for dismissing Mr. Motley was solely that he had failed to carry out his duties. Mr. Grant restated this charge a few years later in a Cairo interview, while he was on a world tour, concluding that he had no ill will toward Mr. Motley who "?like other estimable men, made mistakes, and Motley made a mistake which made him an improper person to hold office under me.".Provenance: Lt.-Col.
