FIRST EDITION AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. A FINE COPY IN A FINE SELLOPHANE PROTECTED DUSTWRAP.

For information about the Lady Hosie and her husband see his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice for postage, and with a minor closed tear to edge of fold at head of leaf. Addressed to Dear Mr. Burdett and signed Dorothy [sic] Hosie . Forty-one lines of closely-written text. The letter concerns a review she has written for a periodical whose title is difficult to decipher ( The L[?] ). She was going to type out a fair copy , but thinks Burdett may like it at once . If he feels portions of it unsuitable , he can then delete . Mr. Hume said 2-3000 words: so I have done about 2750, I think. She discusses three articles she has had to do at the same time . The first is Beauty from China for The Contemporary, a sort of review of Mr. Ayscough s [?], & my Father s Lotus Sutra translation (in the press), & my own ideas on Our Common Heritage with the East in (a) poetry of life, & (b) poetry of mysticism. (2) was an article in The Methodist Times (!) on Christmas in China. (3) was yours. And I m wondering whether each wouldn t have done for the other. For au fond I ve said the same essential thing! She turns to her book Portrait of a Chinese Lady (1929): I do hope you are liking the Lady. It really is infuriating to be always classed amongst the sinologues because she happens to be Chinese! Does one think only of Turgeniev as a Russian & a savant?? I seem to fight a mountain blocking the way to healthful com-passion. [sic] My whole object is to show Chinese are first humans like the rest of us, & Chinese second: but every newspaper ed. once again pushes a China book into Sinological circles. I do wish I had asked U. G. G. to get you to review the Lady for The Observer. But even she wanted a Sinologue, so I weakly suggested one. She expresses relief that she is not asked to do any more writing at the moment - only speaking, which one can do from quite a different & a surface portion of the brain. I think I have written out all my [?] thought for some time to come.' She mentions something that is a tremendous help, physically & spiritually , concluding, Don t you think Joy is a tremendous help we neglect shockingly? .

First edition, inscribed on the initial blank verso "from the author", of the most vitriolic attack made against More during the Blagdon controversy, a contentious episode in her career; an uncut copy in excellent condition. More's philanthropic efforts, especially her rural charity schools, were met with "considerable hostility from local farmers and landowners, who feared that schooling would make their labourers 'lazy and useless' (W. Roberts, 2.207); she had to draw on all her canvassing skills to persuade them to support the venture. The most public opposition, however, came from several of the local clergy, who suspected, quite correctly, that her philanthropy called into question their pastoral care" (ODNB). This opposition culminated in the Blagdon controversy of 1800-03. In a series of published attacks led by Thomas Bere, the curate of Blagdon, More was denounced for fostering schism and mocked by high-church clerics as one of Macbeth's witches, a "Scipio in petticoats"; a "She-Bishop"; "Pope Joan". Writing under the pen name "MacSarcasm", the Anglican clergyman William Shaw, rector of Chelvey (1749-1831), was "her most ferocious adversary. In his full-length study, MacSarcasm fulminated for more than two hundred pages, reviewing and denouncing all of [More's] work, directing that some of it - Strictures, in particular - be burned, characterising More as a plagiary, a virago, and a devil" (Demers, p. 19). Though More defended herself and won some to her side, she eventually capitulated and closed Blagdon School in order to protect the reputation of her other charitable ventures.
