3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Ainsworth begins: 'My dear Mr. Fullom, I am happy to tell you that you are under a great mistake. Your manner, on the occasion you refer to, produced the most favourable impression upon me.' Fullom 'exhibited great delicacy and modesty', and Ainsworth 'stated as much to Mr. Hurst'. The omission was in fact on Ainsworth's own part, in neglecting to thank Fullom for his 'flattering proposal to dedicate your romance to me'. Ainsworth accepts 'this testimony of [Fullom's] regard with much pleasure', and assures him that he will watch his 'future career' with 'much interest'. He concludes by assuring Fullom that he will be happy to be of any assistance to him. Fullom's earliest book appears to be the novel 'The King and the Countess', published by Henry Colburn in 1849 (dedicatee unknown). COPAC only carries one work of his published by Hurst & Blackett: the fourth edition of his 'The marvels of science, and their testimony to Holy Writ', 1853.

Manuscrito
1p., 12mo. In fair condition, lightly aged, with tissue labels from mount adhering to the blank reverse. Tinsley Brothers of 8 Catherine Street, Strand, were Ainsworth's publishers during this period. The letter begins: 'Dear Mr. Tinsley, | You are quite incorrigible.' Ainsworth complains that Tinsley has sent him a letter, 'delayed since Novr. 11th. last', and that he has 'been obliged to write a long letter of explanation and apology'. He hopes that 'the lady for the writer is a lady will be satisfied'. In a postscript he complains that the printers Savile & Edwards 'seem to have come to a stop. No proofs reach me.'.

The subject of this article is discussed by William M. Johnston, in his article William Kinglake s "A Summer in Russia": A Neglected Memoir of Saint Petersburgh in 1845 (TSLL, Spring 1967). The memoir was published anonymously by Ainsworth in the New Monthly Magazine, of which he was editor and proprietor, in three parts, but a German translation in the same year revealed Kinglake s identity. See the entries for Ainsworth and Kinglake in the Oxford DNB. An interesting letter, casting light on Victorian journalistic practices. 4pp, 12mo. Forty lines of text. On a bifolium. In fair condition, aged and worn, with strips of paper adhering to blank areas at head and foot of the reverse of the second leaf. Folded for postage. The recipient is not named. Signed W. Harrison Ainsworth. Begins: My dear Sir. I received your Russian Tour at breakfast this morning, and since then I have read it with great interest - an unusual instance for me, for extensive familiarity with manuscripts has not tended to increase my partiality for them. But your paper is not only well written, but very lively and amusing, and I have got through it with great satisfaction to myself. Under these circumstances you will not wonder that I gladly accept it for the New Monthly; and I only regret that I cannot, owing to the Mag[azin]e. being already made up, commence in next No. He will however send the paper incontinently to the Printer, with directions to him to forward proofs to the writer s address. He suggests dividing the paper into chapters with separate headings . He asks how he proposes to entitle it , and whether he wishes to attach his name to it. He would be pleased to make his acquaintance, and suggests that they dine at the Parthenon Club in Regent Street the following Friday, when we can talk matters over . If that is not possible, he suggests that they dine here, en famille, on Sunday next at six, likewise . See Image.
