I shall be motoring from Hitchin on Monday - not arriving until about four o'clock, so luncheon will not be possible.' She is not sure 'at what time my performance at the New Theatre takes place! If it is at 6.30 - (like the London theatres) both tea - dinner are out of the question - though supper after the performance would be very agreeable! If the perfomance is at 8 - I could come to tea at 4.30 - & have a little time to rest before it.' She will understand if her suggestions are 'impossible for you', but is 'none the less honored by you invitation to dine, which were I not working, I should be very happy to accept [.] dinner is almost impossible, a very sketchy meal before I go to the theatre'. If he would 'leave word at the Randolph Hotel' she will 'ask on arriving for a message'. She ends by expressing her pleasure 'to be coming to Oxford again'. From the papers of Sir David Ross.…

Entick spent most of his life as a writer, mainly for the bookseller Edward Dilly (1732 - 79). It was no doubt thanks to Dilly's extensive trade with America that the speller made its way across the Atlantic." [Green. Chasing the Sun, p. 286] Also of note, further in Green [pp. 309, 313], it is said that Entick influenced Noah Webster with respect to his subsequent, and grand, lexicographical project.

First edition hard back binding in publisher's original elaborately gilt decorated cobalt blue cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back, spine and front, all page edges gilt, bevelled edges. Bound by Bone & Son, 76 Fleet Street, London. Quarto. 10'' x 8¼''. Contains red and black printed title, the text block and poems being printed on thick card stock. With 35 wonderful (the re-published edition with 28 plates) full-page single-sided black and white engravings by Arthur Boyd Houghton, the engraved illustrations from famed Victorian era wood engravers and illustrators George and Edward Dalziel. Like George du Maurier, who was a friend of his, Arthur Boyd Houghton had been afflicted by the loss an eye when he was young. However, he continued to paint as well as illustrate: among his paintings were charming paintings of family life, some jewel-like pictures of children, and some small, slightly disturbing works depicting street scenes (Lambourne 371, 183, 133). Lengthy pencil note to the front paste down 'Xmas 1865 - This year also saw 'Home Thoughts and Home Scenes', a book with 35 drawings of children by A. Boyd Houghton by Routledge, 1865, which was afterwards republished as 'Happy Day Stories'. This book is absolutely essential to any representative collection of the period, but nevertheless its designs can hastily be regarded as among the artists masterly works. Houghton is said to have taken more pains over these drawings than any others. His style in them is as far removed as possible from his later impressions, therefore the book is essential to a collection of his work.' Spine repaired with webbing exposed to the spine edges, plate number 6 with bottom corner missing, 'Age and Youth' poem with tear to the top edge, 'The Sports of Childhood Show the Future Man' poem with repaired tear across the centre of the leaf, heavy foxing to the front and rear end papers and to the margins of the plates and text block.
