Description
BEATTIE WILLIAM: (1793-1875) Scottish Physician & Poet. A.L.S., William Beattie, one page, 8vo, Hampstead, n.d. ('Monday Mg.', c.1844/45?), to a lady and her husband. Beattie thanks his correspondents for their subscription to a monument and continues 'In such a case the gift is much - but the giver is still more - & most of all the noble spirit with which it is given'. With blank integral leaf. About EX €125-190| Beattie's letter most probably refers to a subscription for a statue of the Scottish Poet Thomas Campbell (1777-1844). Beattie and Campbell were close friends and it is largely due to Beattie's efforts that Campbell was buried at Westminster Abbey, the statue being placed in Poet's Corner.||
