AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED by the philologist JAMES JERMYN referring to his is soon to be published 1848 pamphlet a "Prospectus and Specimen of an English Gradus and Dictionary of Ideas". Southwold, April 9th, 1847. Over 125 words penned on 7 inch high by 4-3/8 inch wide creamy white paper. The philologist and author James Jermyn regarding a pamphlet he is about to publish: "Altho you, I think, have not much opinion of the utility of an English Gradus, yet I am inclined to hope that I may be allowed to send you a specimen of the little work....." Signed "Jas. Jermyn". Folded for mailing, the letter was once likely mounted in an autograph book with remnants of gray paper adhering to the corners of the verso and a strip of paper along one edge of the verso. The words "Philologist & author" are penned in an unknown hand at the top of the letter and "Probably to Dawson Turner" is lightly written in pencil at the bottom. Very good.
