WATT JAMES: (1736-1819) Scottish Inventor and Mechanical Engineer. Extremely rare, lengthy A.L.S., James Watt, three pages, 4to, Heathfield, 5th December 1804, to `My dear Cousin` (Mrs. James Campbell, his first cousin). Watt laments the death of his son, Gregory, stating `It is as you observe our duty to submit with patience to the will of providence which we have endeavoured to do, though one can never cease to feel the deepest regret for our loss, which was not of an ordinary kind, for there are very few young men, that possess the powers of mind, the genius which could adapt itself to any science and what occurs still more rarely, the activity & industry that could & did proceed in his studies & exertions even while labouring under the disease which terminated his earthly career. We have lost a son & you a relation that would have done honour to any family or any country! I cannot weep; but I must ever lament his early fate. We must however console ourselves as well as we can & remember that we still have duties to fulfill (sic) in the world & that we still have a son affectionately attached to us, whose abilities do not fall short of his Brother`s though differently directed…` Watt continues to report on his wife`s health, who `bears her loss as well as a Mother can do`, and comments `I should perhaps have been more violently affected, had I not found it necessary to support Mrs W. in her hour of tryal. I scarcely can tell you how I summoned up so much more fortitude than is natural to me` further referring to a mutual friend in India (`I hope he has laid up enough to live upon without exposing himself longer to such a climate`) and also mentioning Joseph Priestley, `Dr. Priestly (sic) was once very ill with gall stones & was cured by abstinence from Butcher meat….fish & vegetables & butter or fat did not hurt him when taken in moderations, but his Doctors must know better than I do what is good for him.` Signed by Watt at the conclusion with a fine signature and flourishing paraph. With address panel to verso bearing remnants of the wafer seal, causing a small area of paper loss and slight stain, only just affecting a few words of text (still entirely legible) but not the signature. About VG Gregory Watt (1777-1804) Mineralogist and Geologist who died from consumption at the age of 27. Gregory had `displayed brilliant talents in the higher pursuit of sciences and literature….and great things had been predicted for him`. James Watt is considered to have never fully recovered from his son`s death. Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) English Theologian and Dissenting Clergyman, credited with the discovery of oxygen.
