All four of the published books by bishop and biblical critic Robert Lowth (1710–1787) are part of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ Library’s outstanding Keynes Collection, and, amazingly, in multiple editions and reprints, posthumous ones included. There are as many as 31 copies of his grammar, 13 each of De sacra poesi and Isaiah, and four copies of William of Wykeham. But the Keynes Collection contains much more than these and similar books, and one particular if mysterious little gem is an undated letter by J. Sturges addressed to ‘Mr. Cadell, Strand, London’.
