About This Item
This renowned English historian is remembered for "The View of the State of Europe during the Middle Ages" (1818), "The Constitutional History of England" (1827) and "Introduction to the Literature of Europe in the 15th, 16th and 17th Centuries" (1838-39); his son Arthur died in 1833 at age 22 and is immortalized in Tennyson's book-length 1850 poem "In Memoriam A.H.H." ANS, 2pp (recto and verso), 3½" X 5¼", London ("Wilton Cr[escent]"), n.y. ("Wednesday"). Addressed to "Mr. Barlow." Very good. Faint mounting traces on blank fourth leaf. Invitation: "Can you give me the pleasure of your company at breakfast on next Saturday at ten to meet Major [Richardson?]?" Boldly penned in Hallam's usual illegible scrawl. The black mourning borders on the first leaf suggest this was penned after the death of Hallam's son Arthur (1833), wife Julia (1847) or son Henry (1850).
