Excerpt from An Appendix to the Rowfant Library: A Catalogue of the Printed Books, Manuscripts Autograph Letters, Etc
Frederick Locker Lampson, better known to all lovers of good rhymes and old books as Frederick Locker, has in his own memoirs ("My Confidences," Smith, Elder, and Company, 1896) given an account of the stock from whence he sprang. It was strongly tinctured with the love of letters. His great-grandfather, John Locker, was pronounced by Dr. Johnson, in his life of Addison, "to be a gentleman eminent for curiosity and literature." Who could wish for a better testimonial? John Locker married a granddaughter of Bishop Stillingfleet and a sister of the once famous Benjamin Stillingfleet, whose blue stockings and fondness for the society of learned ladies combined to produce a nickname which has endured. The eldest son of John Locker was the Captain William Locker whose name will always be found in every life of Horatio Nelson. Captain Locker's youngest son, Edward Hawke Locker, married in 1815 a daughter of the Rev. Jonathan Boucher, then vicar of Epsom, whose earlier clerical life had been spent in the American Colonies, where he was the friend of George Washington in the days before the war. Mr. Boucher remained loyal to the Crown, and his sermons and addresses relating to that great subject, published in 1797, deserve more attention than they have always received at the hands of the historian. Mr. Boucher had a great and miscellaneous collection of books, which, after his death, were sold at Leigh and S. Sotheby's, 145 Strand, in 1806. The sale lasted thirty-nine days. The catalogue may still occasionally be had of the second-hand booksellers. A stronger contrast to the Rowfant Library cannot well be imagined; it numbered nearly 10,000 lots.
