Patrick Brontë & with Autograph note by Patrick Brontë, sending a sample of Charlotte Brontë's handwriting, "The handwriting of Currer Bell - The many applications have prevented me from having any more to send P.B.", 2 circular ink post stamps, folds, 178 x 100mm., post stamp 19th June 1849 [& later note by Patrick Brontë after 1855]. ⁂ Anne Brontë died in Scarborough on Monday, 28 May 1849. Shortly after Charlotte and Ellen Nussey moved ten miles along the coast to Filey. From there they moved to the Hudsons at Easton Farm before Charlotte returned to Haworth on 20 June. It seems likely that this letter, addressed to her father was to announce her return home after the death of Anne. "A year ago - had a prophet warned me how I should stand in June 1849 - how stripped and bereaved - had he foretold the autumn, the winter, the spring of sickness and suffering to be gone through - I should have thought - this can never be endured. It is over. Branwell - Emily - Anne are gone like dreams... . One by one I have watched them fall asleep on my arm - and closed their glazed eyes - I have seen them buried one by one... ." - Charlotte Brontë.

The texts are set in the famous type known as Grec du Roi, designed by Claude Garamond in 1541. "Turnèbe was not a professional printer, but a teacher of Greek and Latin at the Royal College at Paris who abandoned his teaching in order to promote Greek literature through the printing press" (K. Sp. Staikos, Greek Philosophical Editions in the First Century of Printing, Athens 2001, p. 87).

Charlotte agreed and included a biographical preface regarding Ellis and Acton Bell in order both to clear up the confusions surrounding the authorship of the Brontë novels as well as to reveal the true identity of the Bells. The Cardigan Book Society was likely a circulating library, the form includes a list of members with manuscript dates of lending and their remarks.

In the autumn of 1845, Charlotte came across a copybook of verse by Emily. She quickly discerned that the poems were good enough to merit publication and urged her sister to consider it. Emily's initial hostility to the idea was overcome in part by Charlotte's agreeing to the use of pseudonyms. Charlotte and Anne contributed poems of their own to the collection (ultimately Charlotte supplied 19, and Emily and Anne 21 a-piece), and on 28th January 1846, Charlotte wrote to the publishers Aylott & Jones asking if they would be willing to undertake publication. The publishers agreed and the poems were published at the sisters' expense of £31 10s. The first issue ran to 1,000 copies but was sadly not a commercial success with only two copies selling. The sisters sent out copies to authors they admired in the hope of boosting sales but to no avail, the remaining 961 copies remained unsold on the shelves of Aylott & Jones until they were purchased by Smith & Elder in 1848 (see lots XXXX). Provenance: Cornelius Paine (ink stamp to pastedown); John A. Spoor (bookplate to front free endpaper); Frank J. Hogan (book label to pastedown); Arthur A. Houghton Jr. (book label to pastedown, sold lot 55, Christie's, 13th June, 1979).
