In April 2024 I acquired from a West Country antiquarian bookdealer a late 18th-century holograph manuscript volume, produced in the West Country by a celebrated ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ fellow also hailing from that region. A gilt-tooled, tree-calf bound quarto volume, its 113 paper leaves contain in a cursive script (appearance indicates a fair copy) three apparently unpublished literary works by him—and one since published—dedicated to the warden of ²ÝÁñÊÓƵ, Oxford.
