Manuscrit / Papier ancien
See the entries on Harrison and Marcet in the Oxford DNB. Both items in good condition, lightly aged and worn, and each folded twice. Harrison's letter with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to the reverse. Marcet is only identified in pencil annotations to the letters, but the details given by the writer of his education accord with Marcet's. On 18 April 1804 less than a month after the present exchange Marcet was appointed physician to Guy's Hospital, London, on the recommendation of William Saunders, and in writing to Harrision Marcet would appear to pressing the claims of John Yelloby of Finsbury Square to replace him in his present post should he be successful in obtaining the new one. ONE: Marcet's Copy Letter. 2pp, 4to. Unsigned. Headed: 'Copy of a letter to Mr Harrison | 23 March'. Thirty-four lines. Begins: 'As I conceive that in the present circumstances a personal application from me might appear to proceed from a desire of discovering what opinion you may have formed respecting the future election, I have preferred to write on this occasion as this mode will preclude any premature conversation on the subject in question. | All that I have to say is that I have been acquainted with Dr. Yelloby since the year 1794 when we were both students at Edinburgh & that an intimacy began then which has increased ever since. The means which have induced me to cultivate his friendship are that I have always observed in him a steady & upright character, a strict attention to all the duties of his profession, a mind clear & well informed, a sound judgement & above all a strong sense of propriety in all his actions and proceedings.' The letter continues in the same vein, with reference to Yelloby's 'public situation as Physician to the extensive Dispensary to which he has belonged for these 3 years' (i.e. the Finsbury Dispensary). Marcet concludes with an apology for stating 'these few facts'. TWO: Harrison's letter in reply. 1p, 4to. Signed 'Benj Harrison'. Harrison takes sixteen lines to state that he cannot interfere in the election process, beginning: 'Dear Sir | I consider myself obliged by your caution in avoiding any premature conversation on the subject of the vacancy which will be occasioned in the event of your removal. With respect to Dr Yelloby you must be aware that his pretensions were very fully stated to me as early if not previous to my first acquaintance with you, but they were not considered on that occasion such as to preclude attention being paid to another candidate.' He assures Marcet that his 'medical friends have studiously avoided giving any opinion which may prejudice or interfere with such an arrangement as the Governors may consider for the interest of the Hospital in the present vacancy'.

See the entries on Harrison and Marcet in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, and folded twice, with thin strip of paper from mount adhering to the reverse. Marcet is not identified as the recipient, but the item comes from his papers. It relates to an election to a post at Guy's Hospital, with reference to Peter Mark Roget (1779-1869), author of 'Roget's Thesaurus', whose father came from Geneva. The letter is written in a difficult hand, and the following transcriptions are tentative. It begins: 'My Dear Docr | Your letter has been forwarded to me the enclosed to Fletcher I have taken the earliest application of returning to Guys had it fortunately been directed to his house it would have found him yesterday.' He did not answer Marcet's letter as he had assumed they would meet 'in [?] Street on friday [ ] I am sorry to find you are still a prisoner After a full show of health last week I was glad to return to my friends on Saturday'. He will be back in London on the following Monday. 'With respect to [Sr Thos?] I must explain that at the time you wrote to me I knew nothing more than the printed letter informed me. Of the candidates I have only seen Dr Back, who appears to me a person Dr Elliston I believe I may once have seen on a former occasion'. He is not aware of ever having met 'Dr Williams & Dr Roget [.] I however had determined to support Dr Williams on that occasion I said & may even have repeated the same that I certainly should not oppose their wishes - Altho there were Guys people [last two words underlined] as candidates so much for my peaceful patience & genial support in favor of another candidate - to the alarm of your friend Dr Roget who altho I have not the pleasure of knowing I have often heard him most highly spoken of'.

2pp, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper adhering to the reverse of the second leaf, which is addressed, with postmarks, 'To | Doctor Roget M.D. | Bernard Street | London -'. See the entries on Sutton, Roget and Marcet in the Oxford DNB. The letter concerns a misunderstanding between Sutton and Marcet. (Two of Sutton's letters to Marcet with a copy of a reply by Marcet are offered together separately elsewhere.) The present letter is 2pp, 4to. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged, with thin strip of paper adhering to the reverse of the second leaf, which is addressed, with postmarks, 'To | Doctor Roget M.D. | Bernard Street | London -'. The letter begins: 'Doctor Sutton's compliments to Doctor Roget and feels somewhat surprized with the honor of a letter from him on the subject of a paper deliver'd to the Medical & Chirurgical Society - Dr Sutton certainly deliver'd the paper to Dr Marcet, with an injunction not to send it to the society until he heard from him, and understood undoubtedly that Dr M wou'd not deliver the paper 'til a further communication.' Sutton claims that 'with this certainty' he has 'as he thought allow'd the paper to remain with Dr Marcet', and he now asks Roget 'to procure him the paper again'. He has 'not yet decided respecting its destination, and whether with others he shall not make it a Society publication, with the addition of that matter which he [?] wou'd be added on a further occasion'. He concludes in the hope that Roget will either 'send the paper inclosed to Murray the Booksellers Fleet St directed to Dr Sutton - Greenwich to be left 'til called for', or allow Sutton to call on him 'in Lincolns Inn on monday or tuesday next'. (Sutton's two letters to Marcet, and the copy of a reply by Marcet, indicater that Sutton had been too forward in his approaches to Marcet, who took offence at having his veracity impugned.) From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III.

See the entries for Sutton and Marcet in the Oxford DNB. A strained exchange as a result of a misunderstanding over the presentation by Marcet to the Medical and Chirurgical Society of a paper by Sutton. (The following year Sutton would publish his 'Tracts on Delirium Tremens, on Peritonitis, and on Some other Internal Inflammatory Affections, and on the Gout'.) The shift between persons in Sutton's three letters is indicative of a cooling of tone, and in the final item Marcet comes close to accusing Sutton of lying. The four items in good condition, lightly aged and worn, with thin strips of paper from mount adhering to each. ONE: Sutton to Marcet, in third person. Greenwich; 11 September 1812. 1p, 4to. Bifolium. Addressed, with postmark, to 'Doctor Marcet | Russel [sic] Square | Bloomsbury | London'. He will 'either call or send for the manuscript he left with Dr. M. and will thank Dr. M to inclose it directed to Doctor Sutton, that it may be delivered in case Dr Marcet may not be at home'. A postscript suggests that alternatively Marcet may wish to leave the manuscript with 'Mr. Murrays Booksellers Fleet St'. TWO: Sutton to Marcet, signed 'Thos Sutton'. 17 September 1812. 2pp, 4to. Since seeing Marcet, and 'having had some leisure', he has 'been employd in bringing forward three other papers, about the same length as the one I placed in your hands'. He is now considering whether to print them together, 'or take the liberty of presenting them to your society and if thought worthy to be publish'd in the Transactions'. Marcet's 'remarks on the manuscript' have given Sutton 'the greatest satisfaction, and I shall take with consideration those which intimate the propriety of some alteration in regard of form - Whatever may be the destination of the paper I am much pleased it has on the whole met with your approbation and am glad it has been read before the Society'. After a reference to 'Dr. Roget', he ends by expressing his desire to 'avail myself of the opportunity of submitting the paper for their approbation with a view to its publication'. THREE: Sutton to Marcet, in the third person. 'Saturday Eveng. Septr. 26Th 1812'. 3pp, 4to. He is 'sorry any misunderstanding shou'd have happen'd on the subject of his manuscript.
