3pp., 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin stub from mount neatly adhering. A long, closely written letter of 116 lines, including eight-line postscript at head of first page. Addressed by Dyer on reverse of second leaf: 'To Lord Buchan | Dryburgh Abbey | Berwickshire | Scotland.' Buchan has annotated the reverse of the second leaf: 'George Dyer | Characteristic | while I reasoned with George Dyer in my Library at Dryburgh Abbey on the Economy of Nature and the Providence of God, I said Heaven itself will one day bear witness to my Words. At the instant there was a flash of Lightning so vivid as to deprive us for a moment of Sight | This [.] subject for Poetry' (latter part obscured by stub). Both men have interesting entries in the Oxford DNB. Dyer's entry stresses his eccentricity, of which the present letter is indeed 'Characteristic'. The main topic is Dyer's obsessive belief that his conversation has in some way offended Buchan and 'given, very undesignedly, some offence to my friends in Scotland'. Dyer also discusses the preparation for publication of privately-printed 'Poems' of 1801, whose 'Ode XXXIX' is titled 'After visiting Dryburgh Abbey, in Berwickshire, the Seat of Lord and Lady Buchan'. The poem carries the following footnote: 'This delightful spot, now the residence of Lord and Lady Buchan, was formerly a monastery. In a part of the chapel are now placed the busts of our English poets. Lord Buchan is well known as a man of letters.' The florid opening paragraph of the letter starts: 'Kind Sir, | It is unpleasant to write, and no less unpleasant to read, letters of apology: they move heavily and leave behind nothing worth remembering. The writer feels like a prisoner at the bar, and if conscious of crime, recollection of civilities received he finds painful, and without waiting for the decision of the judge, he confesses himself worthy of punishment.' The second paragraph sets out Dyer's specific concerns: 'I intended writing to you from Berwick, and to acknowlege [sic] your civilities to me when at Kelso: but I thought it expedient afterwards to defer writing till after I had been at Richmond, more particularly as my mind at the time was quite occupied with poetical reveries though I said nothing on the subject to my ingenious and sensible fellow-traveller. On my arrival in London I expecterd to receive letters from Dr. Anderson [the author and editor Dr Robert Anderson (1750-1830), who like Buchan was a member of the American Antiquarian Society] to be conveyed to [sic] me under cover to James Marten: one was to have been a letter to Park from Dr. Anderson, as a kind of introductory letter. From Park I expected to hear every thing relative to the Richmond business: but I waited in vain for letters, and knew nothing concerning the place for solemnizing the birth-day of Thompson. I was extremely puzzled to account for this silence, and was at length unhappy, fearful, that I had given, very undesignedly, some offence to my friends in Scotland: I have however since recd: letters, perfectly satisfactory, from Dr. Anderson, and others: having, however, no letter to Park, and the birth day of Thompson having passed by unnoticed, I was perplexed and knew not what to say to you.' He gives the gist of a speech made by Buchan 'when I had the pleasure of seeing you at Dryburgh', on the subject of acknowledging the giving of pain by ones words, and confesses: 'Now, Sir, I did recollect having made two speeches of this kind, and though probably you may not recollect them, or indeed might not have noticed them at the time, yet the recollection of them gave pain to me.' He explains at length how he 'wished to apologize', but 'knew not what to say or how to begin'. But now Buchan's 'very civil letter' has 'removed my suspicions [that he has given offence], and increased my respect for you.' Again, he had wished to answer immediately, but could not get a frank: 'I had not an opportunity of getting the name.…
