General notes

(Y.c.7340 (1)) Dated: 4 Oct. 1880. On letterhead of Hollingbury Copse, Brighton. Complains of missing "a copy of the Chetham Ballad Catalogue or any notes on them - not even a copy for myself. My late Wife had a complete set of all my publications but they were burnt with her other books at the Pantechnicon fire in 1872 & I have not attempted to replace them. The consequence is that I have no copy of my folio Shakespeare or of most of my other works." (Y.c.7340 (2)) Dated: 5 May 1881. Address given as The Shakespeare Hotel, Stratford-on-Avon. Discusses his feud with Dr. Furnivall over Furnivall's notes attacking Halliwell-Phillipps in a facsimile reproduction of the Hamlet quarto of 1604, commenting "if only F. can let me alone, I am sure that I am the last person to do or say anything to annoy him, but one can't be dungforked & pigsbrooked & procined & Hell-Phd. without remonstrance." (Y.c.7340 (3)) Dated: 22 May 1883. Address given as The White Hart Hotel, Salisbury. Mentions being up to his "old tricks (record hunting for stage notices)" and refers to two folio volumes of "blackletter ballads that have never been used by anyone - most likely beating the Roxburghe." Acquired from Richard Ford, 2012
