John, a bookstore owner, was also a historian. In 1831 he published the History of Virginia to 1781. Later, he held the position of Federal Collector of Customs in Petersburg, Virginia. Mildred taught at the Petersburg Classical Academy in the 1840's. In addition to Charles, the couple also had two younger children, Alexander (Aleck) S. Campbell, and Elizabeth (Betty) Campbell Maben (d.1871)."," Charles' mother, Mildred Walker Moore Campbell, was the granddaughter of Virginia lieutenant governor Alexander Spotswood (1676-1740). Mildred Walker Moore Campbell and her siblings Mary Fairfax Moore Keller, Dr. Alexander Spotswood Moore, Ann Evelina Moore Henley, William Agustin Moore, Eliza Moore McDonald, and Lavinia Moore McPheeters wrote and received numerous pieces of personal correspondence that are available in this collection."," Charles Campbell attended the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) from 1823-1825. Upon graduation he enrolled in Henry St. George Tucker's School of Law in Winchester, Virginia. However, he suffered from chronic headaches which caused him severe physical and mental exhaustion. By 1829, these health issues would force him to leave the law profession."," Following his departure from law, Campbell worked as an engineer of the Petersburg Railroad. Later he ran a private school for boys in Glencoe, Alabama. On 13 September 1836, he married Elvira N. Callaway (1819-1837) of Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1837, Elvira died shortly after the birth of a son, Callaway Campbell (b.1837). In his distress, Campbell left his son with Elivira's siblings, Thomas and Lucinda Callaway. Later, this would result in a court case to regain custody of his child."," Following the death of his wife, Campbell worked as a clerk in the office of the Collector of Custom in Petersburg, Virginia (a position he obtained from his father John Campbell). From 1840-1843, Campbell also owned, published, and edited a Petersburg newspaper, The American Statesman. He returned to teaching in 1842 by opening a classical school in Petersburg, becoming both teacher and administrator in the Anderson Seminary. He would hold these positions until the formation of free public schools in 1870."," Campbell remarried in 1850 to Miss Anna Birdsall of Rahway, New Jersey. They had four children, Mary Spotswood Campbell Robinson (b.1852), Nanny Campbell (b.1854), Charles Campbell (b.1856), and Fanny Campbell (1858-1860's)."," Charles Campbell was committed to Western Lunatic Asylum at Staunton, Virginia, in 1873 where he remained until his death on July 11, 1876. He was buried at Blandford Church Cemetery, Petersburg."," Like his father, Campbell was a historian. He began contributing to journals in 1834. Some of the journals to which he frequently contributed included; The Southern Literary Messenger or The Southern and Western Literary Messenger and Review, The Farmer's Register, The New Yorker, and the Petersburg Intelligencer. His most important work, however, was the History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia. This work built upon his father's book and concerned Virginia history from the colony's founding to the Revolutionary War.","Other Information:"," Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00063.frame","The materials at Duke are comprised of copies of historical documents and letters, and personal papers of Charles Campbell (1807-1876), historian, editor, and antiquarian.

John, a bookstore owner, was also a historian. In 1831 he published the History of Virginia to 1781. Later, he held the position of Federal Collector of Customs in Petersburg, Virginia. Mildred taught at the Petersburg Classical Academy in the 1840's. In addition to Charles, the couple also had two younger children, Alexander (Aleck) S. Campbell, and Elizabeth (Betty) Campbell Maben (d.1871)."," Charles' mother, Mildred Walker Moore Campbell, was the granddaughter of Virginia lieutenant governor Alexander Spotswood (1676-1740).

Upon graduation he enrolled in Henry St. George Tucker's School of Law in Winchester, Virginia. However, he suffered from chronic headaches which caused him severe physical and mental exhaustion. By 1829, these health issues would force him to leave the law profession."," Following his departure from law, Campbell worked as an engineer of the Petersburg Railroad. Later he ran a private school for boys in Glencoe, Alabama. On 13 September 1836, he married Elvira N. Callaway (1819-1837) of Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1837, Elvira died shortly after the birth of a son, Callaway Campbell (b.1837). In his distress, Campbell left his son with Elivira's siblings, Thomas and Lucinda Callaway. Later, this would result in a court case to regain custody of his child."," Following the death of his wife, Campbell worked as a clerk in the office of the Collector of Custom in Petersburg, Virginia (a position he obtained from his father John Campbell). From 1840-1843, Campbell also owned, published, and edited a Petersburg newspaper, The American Statesman. He returned to teaching in 1842 by opening a classical school in Petersburg, becoming both teacher and administrator in the Anderson Seminary. He would hold these positions until the formation of free public schools in 1870."," Campbell remarried in 1850 to Miss Anna Birdsall of Rahway, New Jersey. They had four children, Mary Spotswood Campbell Robinson (b.1852), Nanny Campbell (b.1854), Charles Campbell (b.1856), and Fanny Campbell (1858-1860's)."," Charles Campbell was committed to Western Lunatic Asylum at Staunton, Virginia, in 1873 where he remained until his death on July 11, 1876. He was buried at Blandford Church Cemetery, Petersburg."," Like his father, Campbell was a historian. He began contributing to journals in 1834. Some of the journals to which he frequently contributed included; The Southern Literary Messenger or The Southern and Western Literary Messenger and Review, The Farmer's Register, The New Yorker, and the Petersburg Intelligencer. His most important work, however, was the History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia. This work built upon his father's book and concerned Virginia history from the colony's founding to the Revolutionary War.","Other Information:"," Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00063.frame","The materials at Duke are comprised of copies of historical documents and letters, and personal papers of Charles Campbell (1807-1876), historian, editor, and antiquarian.

Mildred Walker Moore Campbell and her siblings Mary Fairfax Moore Keller, Dr. Alexander Spotswood Moore, Ann Evelina Moore Henley, William Agustin Moore, Eliza Moore McDonald, and Lavinia Moore McPheeters wrote and received numerous pieces of personal correspondence that are available in this collection."," Charles Campbell attended the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) from 1823-1825. Upon graduation he enrolled in Henry St. George Tucker's School of Law in Winchester, Virginia. However, he suffered from chronic headaches which caused him severe physical and mental exhaustion. By 1829, these health issues would force him to leave the law profession."," Following his departure from law, Campbell worked as an engineer of the Petersburg Railroad. Later he ran a private school for boys in Glencoe, Alabama. On 13 September 1836, he married Elvira N. Callaway (1819-1837) of Monroe County, Tennessee. In 1837, Elvira died shortly after the birth of a son, Callaway Campbell (b.1837). In his distress, Campbell left his son with Elivira's siblings, Thomas and Lucinda Callaway. Later, this would result in a court case to regain custody of his child."," Following the death of his wife, Campbell worked as a clerk in the office of the Collector of Custom in Petersburg, Virginia (a position he obtained from his father John Campbell). From 1840-1843, Campbell also owned, published, and edited a Petersburg newspaper, The American Statesman. He returned to teaching in 1842 by opening a classical school in Petersburg, becoming both teacher and administrator in the Anderson Seminary. He would hold these positions until the formation of free public schools in 1870."," Campbell remarried in 1850 to Miss Anna Birdsall of Rahway, New Jersey. They had four children, Mary Spotswood Campbell Robinson (b.1852), Nanny Campbell (b.1854), Charles Campbell (b.1856), and Fanny Campbell (1858-1860's)."," Charles Campbell was committed to Western Lunatic Asylum at Staunton, Virginia, in 1873 where he remained until his death on July 11, 1876. He was buried at Blandford Church Cemetery, Petersburg."," Like his father, Campbell was a historian. He began contributing to journals in 1834. Some of the journals to which he frequently contributed included; The Southern Literary Messenger or The Southern and Western Literary Messenger and Review, The Farmer's Register, The New Yorker, and the Petersburg Intelligencer. His most important work, however, was the History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia. This work built upon his father's book and concerned Virginia history from the colony's founding to the Revolutionary War."],"odd_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eOther Information:\u003c/p\u003e\n","\u003cp\u003e Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00063.frame\u003c/p\u003e"],"odd_heading_ssm":["General"],"odd_tesim":["Other Information:"," Additional information may be found at http://ead.lib.virginia.edu/vivaead/published/wm/viw00063.frame"],"prefercite_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eCharles Campbell Papers, Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary.\u003c/p\u003e"],"prefercite_tesim":["Charles Campbell Papers, Special Collections Research Center, Swem Library, College of William and Mary."],"relatedmaterial_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe materials at Duke are comprised of copies of historical documents and letters, and personal papers of Charles Campbell (1807-1876), historian, editor, and antiquarian.

He was the son of William Murray, 3rd Earl of Dunmore, and his wife Catherine (nee Murray)."," Murray succeeded his father in the earldom in 1756 and sat as a Scottish Representative Peer in the House of Lords from 1761 to 1774 and from 1776 to 1790. He was the British governor of the Province of New York from 1770 to 1771 and the Virginia Colony, from September 25, 1771 until his departure to New York on New Years Eve, 1776. During his term as Virginia's colonial governor, he directed a series of campaigns against the Indians known as Lord Dunmore's War. The Shawnee were the main target of these attacks, and his purpose was to strengthen Virginia's claims in the west, particularly in the Ohio Country. However, some have accused him of colluding with the Shawnees and arranging the war to deplete the Virginia militia and help safeguard the Loyalist cause, should there be a colonial rebellion."," From 1774 on, Dunmore was continually clashing with the Colonial Assembly. He left Williamsburg on June 8, 1775, retreating to his hunting lodge, Porto Bello, and had to take refuge on the British warship Fowey in the York River when the American Revolutionary War began. When he realized he could not regain control in Virginia, he returned to Britain in July 1776."," He is noted for Lord Dunmore's Proclamation on November 7, 1775, whereby he offered freedom to enslaved Africans who joined his Army. This was the first mass emancipation of slaves in North America, however, after his retreat he resold these men back into slavery. He organized these Black Loyalists into the Ethiopian Regiment. However, after the Battle of Kemp's Landing, Dunmore became over-confident, which precipitated his defeat at the Battle of Great Bridge, December 9, 1775. Following this defeat, he loaded his army onto British ships and retreated to New York."," From 1787 to 1796, he served as Governor of the Bahamas. Lord Dunmore married Lady Charlotte, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 6th Earl of Galloway, in 1759. Their daughter Lady Augusta Murray was the daughter-in-law of King George III. Dunmore died in March 1809 and was succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son George.

He was the son of William Murray, 3rd Earl of Dunmore, and his wife Catherine (nee Murray)."," Murray succeeded his father in the earldom in 1756 and sat as a Scottish Representative Peer in the House of Lords from 1761 to 1774 and from 1776 to 1790. He was the British governor of the Province of New York from 1770 to 1771 and the Virginia Colony, from September 25, 1771 until his departure to New York on New Years Eve, 1776. During his term as Virginia's colonial governor, he directed a series of campaigns against the Indians known as Lord Dunmore's War. The Shawnee were the main target of these attacks, and his purpose was to strengthen Virginia's claims in the west, particularly in the Ohio Country. However, some have accused him of colluding with the Shawnees and arranging the war to deplete the Virginia militia and help safeguard the Loyalist cause, should there be a colonial rebellion."," From 1774 on, Dunmore was continually clashing with the Colonial Assembly. He left Williamsburg on June 8, 1775, retreating to his hunting lodge, Porto Bello, and had to take refuge on the British warship Fowey in the York River when the American Revolutionary War began. When he realized he could not regain control in Virginia, he returned to Britain in July 1776."," He is noted for Lord Dunmore's Proclamation on November 7, 1775, whereby he offered freedom to enslaved Africans who joined his Army. This was the first mass emancipation of slaves in North America, however, after his retreat he resold these men back into slavery. He organized these Black Loyalists into the Ethiopian Regiment. However, after the Battle of Kemp's Landing, Dunmore became over-confident, which precipitated his defeat at the Battle of Great Bridge, December 9, 1775. Following this defeat, he loaded his army onto British ships and retreated to New York."," From 1787 to 1796, he served as Governor of the Bahamas. Lord Dunmore married Lady Charlotte, daughter of Alexander Stewart, 6th Earl of Galloway, in 1759. Their daughter Lady Augusta Murray was the daughter-in-law of King George III. Dunmore died in March 1809 and was succeeded in the earldom by his eldest son George.

His school, for which he has little enthusiasm, has only nine pupils, when this number rises to twelve, he will call in an assistant, preferably John James, who has been helping to prepare some of his writings for publication. If the Bishop [of Carlisle, Edmund Law 1703-87] dies, does James think he will be succeeded by Dr. Graham?","J[onathan] B[oucher] to [John James][, [10 Nov 1779] (date in pencil)\n4 pages.

He feels he has wasted his efforts writing \"a thousand political squibs\" and is considering publishing a book of sermons; asks James for some contributions. Mr. Bassenthwaite, who has a school and parish on the Island of Tortola, is looking for an assistant. Nelly's rheumatism is bad, but her physician Dr. Moore is hopeful. Boucher was unable to fore the result of the American war; \"If the Rebels seem to have been more successful, they owe it not to their superior wisdom, but superior villainy. And yet, from Howe to Koppel, I firmly believe, all our misfortunes are owing to the incapacity of our Commanders . . . . .

He has met Kitty Strange and detects weakness of character. Has been advising Mr. Charles Daubeny, [see Charles Daubeny to Boucher] on a pamphlet he is writing, but fears he has done no good; he sends James some of the works of his friend Mr. Jones [William Jones of Nayland, D.N.B.]; illness among his scholars is causing him grave anxiety.","J[onathan] Boucher, Paddington, Eng., to [John] James, Arthuret, near Carlisle, [Eng.], 8 March 1780\n2 pages.

Boucher has been ill so he has not yet ordered the books on James' list; last week there was a sale of the books of the Dissenter Furneaux [D.N.B.] who is confined in a mad-house.

He has read through the papers sent to him by Eden but does not agree with his views on education, which resemble those of Dr. Priestley; he fears they may expose the whole work to censure and so, though diffident about putting forward his own notions, he has re-written this section; Eden must decide which version to use; he has also softened the critique on Mr. Pitt. He wonders what effect Burke's pamphlet [probably Letters on a Regicide Peace] will have on the public mind; the \"speechifyings\" in Parliament have been very poor - \"this is not an age of great men.\"","J[onathan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.] to Sir F[rederick] M[orton] E[den], undated [ca. 1793?] Thurs.

He is forwarding a letter from Mr. Addison to Mr. Watson. Eden's play is not to go to Sheridan who is \"as little worthy to be trusted with a new play, as with money, or anything else\", or to Grubb, but to young Banister; Boucher is not optimistic as to its success.","J[onathan] B[oucher] to Sir Fred[erick] M[orton] Eden, undated Wed A.M.\n1 page.

(A/4/1). There is a principle of revolt in all colonies which stems from a lack of foresight in colony administration; the subduing of the rebellion in America is of secondary importance to the new-modelling of its Government. Says focus of the war should be placed on New England. Decisive action against Washington is imperative to the British cause. New York is well- disposed and would make a good base for the King's troops. Advocates control of New York from New York City to Albany to split the northern colonies from the southern. Pennsylvania has made no overt act of treason nor raised any troops; the Carolinias, Virginia and Maryland are too busy with internal problems, i.e. Indians and slaves, to seek regular troops in a hostile way; the white servants would certainly enlist with the King's troops, Baltimore and Annapolis contain many such men; trade embargos should be sufficient to deal with these colonies. Washington shows extraordinary coolness and caution but has very little personal experience; the first general action against him must be decisive.","[Rev] Jonathan Boucher, Paddington, [Eng.] to W[illia]m Eden, Undersecretary of State, 27 June 1776\nCopy; original in Public Record Office. 4 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed. (A/4/2a). As it is difficult for a gentleman who has been used to better circumstances to learn to live on 70 p.a., he solicits Eden's good offices with Lord George [Germain] for a further supply of money. He claims no special merit for his actions in America, but others who have done less have received pensions. He would like to be commended to Lord Dartmouth, the Abp. of Canterbury and the Bps. of London and Bangor, and hopes that Eden may be able to help him to preferment in America when a settlement is reached.","W[illia]m Eden, Downing Street, [London, Eng.] to Mr. Pownall, Secretary to Board of Trade, 4 July 1776\nCopy; original in Public Record Office. 2 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed.

Copy of Autograph Letter Signed. (A/4a). He has declined position of Principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh because the Scottish Anglicans refuse to render obedience to the Scottish bishops; he asks the Bishop to assist the cause of Scottish Union which he has so long supported. Edinburgh is captivated with popular preaching; even Bp. Abernethy Drummond stipulates that the English assistant he requires must be a good preacher. Cautioned Bp. Drummond to be cautious in his choice because his mitre might well come down to his chosen person.","Item 2: Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.] to Dr. John Douglas, Bishop of Salisbury, London, [Eng.], 26 Feb. 1800\nCopy; original in British Museum, Egerton MSS. 2186 f. 112. 5 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed. (A/4b). He does not expect Douglas, in his present state of health, to play any active part in promoting Scottish Union, but he might certainly use his influence to remove prejudice. He has advised Bp. Drummond, who is apt to be intemperate in his zeal, and Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] to write an address to the English Bishops, and he suggests that Douglas should write to the Episcopal Congregations of Edinburgh. The obstacle of the Abjuration Oath will soon be removed as it will doubtless be repealed on the death of the Cardinal of New York, which may be daily expected.","Item 1: [James Maury], Albemarle [Co.], [Va.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Nov. 1763\n7 pages. Autograph Letter. (B/1/2). Detailed consideration of a poetical letter by Boucher which is to be published by Royle; Boreas Self bowing to publish an article through the Maryland Gazette which vindicated the Virginia House of Burgesses voting an award of 2500 to Mr. Randolph for defending the House's opposition to the Governor's demand for a pistole for every land patent he signed because the Virginia presses did not wish to offend the Governor and his council. Boucher need not fear to be discovered as the author, as it will recommend him to the most sensible, equitable, and honest part of the Clergy and Laity. Maury comments extensively on his regard for Boucher. Boucher should get Mr. Jackson's opinion of the work. Tickell is to accompany Maury to Hanover Court where his case is to be heard.\nItem 2: Narrative of the determination of a suit between the Minister of Fredericksville, plaintiff, and the collectors of the said parish, defendants, for arrears of salary, in Hanover Court, November and December 1763 n.d.

[In 1760, the Crown had disallowed an Act passed by the Virginia Assembly to prevent clergy of the Established Church, whose salaries had hitherto been calculated in tobacco, from profiting by a heavy rise in its price. Patrick Henry began his political career by opposing Maury's claim for arrears in the \"Parson's Cause\".] The jury was not of persons of rank and understanding, and although the verdict was in favour of the plaintiff, only one penny damages was awarded; the Jury had been harangued by one of the Defendant's lawyers [Patrick Henry] who asserted \"that the King, by annulling and disallowing laws of so salutary a nature [the Two Penny Act of 1758], from being the Father of his people, degenerates into a tyrant and forfeits all right to his subjects' obedience;\" at which there were cries of Treason! The road to popularity here is to trample underfoot the Interests of Religion, the Rights of the Church, and the Prorogative of the Crown.","Item 1: James Maury to [Jonathan] Boucher, 7 July 1764\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/1/4). He apologizes for not having written since he had the pleasure of seeing Boucher. The death of Mr. [Robert] Jackson is their common loss.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/82). He thanks Boucher for his information about \"Scots lords and German bears.\" Boucher takes too gloomy a view of his hopes and prospects; against his failure in his hopes of a Scottish Bishopric and the prospect of three pupils may be weighed the fortune bequeathed by Miss Barton [see B/3/11] and the thousands obtained with Miss Foreman [Boucher's second wife, whose fortune was 14,000].

He is convinced by Sir William Forbes' letter that the Archbishop [of Canterbury] was right in what he said to Lord Kinnoull and it is not his fault that the measure failed that Boucher wished to succeed.

He gives Boucher information about Mr. Post, a Gentleman of the law, for whom he has no high regard; Post has told Boucher that marriages have diminished, so Stevens was comforted for the future of the world when he found that bastardy increased in the same proportion. Boucher need not fear to be thought a Low Churchman and may sit on the right hand of Nobody at the next meeting [Nobody's club, founded in Stevens' honour in 1800, was known for its High Church principles]; but how can he think Lord Kinnoull a sensible honest man when he is no better than a Presbyterian? He hopes Boucher will see Anthony Richardson while he is in England. Sir Frederick [Eden] will be an excellent neighbour.\nItem 6: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, [Eng.], Goose Eating Day 1800 [Michaelmas 29 Sept.]\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/86). He contrasts his own apathy with Boucher's energy. He thanks Boucher for offering to write the biographical sketch of Old Jones, but he has, after much effort, written one of his own which he will show him in manuscript. Frank [Randolph] has published some sermons. He sees from the papers that Sir F. [Frederick Eden] is Chairman of the Flour Company. One of Stevens' brother-auditors has just died so he is now senior auditor. The Rector [of Otham] has made 400 from hops, the young Squire about 4000.","Item 1: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to Jon[athan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 1 Sept. 1801\n3 pages. Autograph Letter. (B/3/87). He warns Boucher not to expect great things from his letters; he bears news of him through Tom Calverley and John Richardson; Boucher has been having trouble with his agent for his property in the North; it is surprising that he has not learned from experience. He is sorry to hear that Boucher has had trouble with his assistant; he hopes that the connection with Frere may take place [probably the position was offered to one of John Frere's sons]; he is glad that Boucher takes more kindly to \"pupilizing\" and suggests that he asks Tom Hooker, who has a school at Rottingdean, for recommendations. Has Boucher noticed the Bagdon business?\nItem 2: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 31 March 1803\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/88).

He has read Lucien Bonaparte's speech of 14 July and finds it a most eloquent invective against Revolutions.

He considered Burns a poet of great descriptive powers, pastoral humour and pathos, and regrets that he should have had such a melancholy fall. He quotes some lines from Cowper's \"Retirement\" about philologists.

Autograph Letter Signed. B/5/1). He has received Boucher's valuable and interesting publication [his American sermons] from Mr. Watson [Joshua Watson; D.N.B.; wine merchant and philanthropist; married to Daubeny's niece]; he sees in this country the principles which led to the American Revolution. In an article on his Guide to the Church, the Analytical Review calls him, Boucher and Horsley [Samuel Horsley, later Bp. of St. Asaph; D.N.B.] the Lauds of the present day. He sent Mr. Wilberforce a copy of his book but does not know whether he will read it.\nItem 2: Char[le]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, near Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 20 June 1798\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/2). He asks Boucher how to direct a letter to the Rt. Rev. W.A. Drummond at Hawthorndon [William Abernethy Drummond, Bp. of Edinburgh]; the Bishop believes his Guide to the Church may do some good in Scotland and wishes to have it abridged there. Daubeny would like Boucher's opinion of Sir Richard Hill's \"farrago\" as he intends to answer it [Sir Richard Hill; D.N.B.; supporter of Calvinistic Methodism, attacked Daubeny's Guide, and carried on a long controversy with him by pamphlets]. The work of churchmen is usually to go over old ground.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Mr. [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 28 Dec[embe]r 1798\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/3). He apologizes for not acknowledging earlier sermons Boucher sent him, but he has been much occupied with his new church at Bath [Christ Church, Walcot] and with his reply to Sir Richard Hill, which Boucher advised him to write; he would like him to read the first part of this work; Mr. William Stevens has written to tell him that Mr. Jones [of Nayland] is thinking of replying to Sir Richard. He asks whether Boucher has heard from his friend, the Scotch Bishop [of Edinburgh], how the abridgement of the Guide to the Church is progressing.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 8 Jan[uar]y 1799\n3 pages.

Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/5). He has received his packet of papers and Boucher's notes upon them and is sending him another packet which he should keep until the remaining part of the publication comes before him; he would like Boucher's opinion on the scope of the work, particularly on the subjects of Calvinism, Church Unity and Schism.\nItem 6: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Feb[ruar]y 1799\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/6). He is sending Boucher the final part of his work which has already been corrected by Mr. Bowdler, [John Bowdler, D.N.B.]; although he wishes everything harsh-sounding to be cut out of the work, he thinks that Bowdler has carried this a little too far, and would welcome Boucher's opinion on those corrections; Boucher can expect no other reward than the satisfaction of supporting the Cause of the Church.\nItem 7: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, No. 8 Cresent, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher, 18 Mar[ch] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/7a). The first part of his work is in the press, and he asks Boucher to return any part of the remainder with which he has finished. He asks if Boucher has seen Bp. Drummond's abridgment of the Guide ; and abridgement of the work, with addenda from the letters to Sir Richard Hill, would be a useful book for general circulation; he is unwilling to undertake this task himself as an author is the worst qualified to abridge his own work. The liberal ideas and smooth sentences of such modern speculatists as Dr. Paley [William Paley, D.N.B.] may be preferred to his old-fashioned writing as more accommodating. He sent a copy of the Guide to the Archbishop of Canterbury but he did not acknowledge it.\nItem 8: Suggested title page for Daubeny's Letters to Sir Richard Hill [which were published under the title An Appendix to the Guide to the Church], undated\nWrapper of (B/5/7a). 1 page.

He is revising the last part of his work, incorporating many of Boucher's suggestions; he hopes it may be better received than the Guide which had a very poor review in the British Critic; his friend, the author of Reform or Ruin, [John Bowdler], does not wish to undertake a review; Daubeny considers Boucher the fittest person to do this.  He commends the sound  constitutional principles of the Anti-Jacobin; his abilities are at the service of the editor [John Gifford, D.N.B.]; he considers \"that schismatic courier\", The Gospel Magazine, a danger to the Constitution.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N. Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.]., 16 July 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/9). He has directed Hatchard [John Hatchard, D.N.B., publisher] to keep six copies of the book for Boucher to distribute to his friends at Shrewsbury, Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] and his father, and the Rev. Dr. Glegg [sic: George Gleig, D.N.B., later Bp. of Brechin]. He hopes his book has aided the cause of the church. Thanks Boucher for his revisions.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Trowbridge], [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 24 Sept[ember] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/10). He has received strong and decided letters from Bp. Skinner and Dr. Gleig, and believes that will write good reviews of his book; however, he is sorry that Boucher would not undertake this task. He is sorry to hear that the Anti-Jacobin is declining and wishes he had more leisure to write for it. He has written a pamphlet to Mrs. Hannah More, whose faith, like that of Mr. Wilberforce, is Calvinism in disguise; her doctrine that Faith is necessarily productive of works is a most dangerous error, a true Child of Enthusiasm. An explanation of his reasoning on that point.\nItem 4: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.]., 23 Oct[obe]r 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/11). Sir Richard Hill is to reply to Daubeny's answer; all Calvinists are the spawn of the Scotch Covenanters and, were it in their power, would be just as intolerant; Daubeny has also been attacked by a brother clergyman. Of some parts of Mrs. More's writings he has as high an opinion as Boucher, but as she has it in her power to do so much good, he wishes her to be \"wholly with us\"; however, the difference is in expression rather than idea. He will use his influence at Winchester College [where he was a Fellow] on behalf of Boucher's son, but application for admission should be made immediately; he will find out about fees when his own boys come home for Christmas.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Jan[uary] 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/12). The fees of Winchester College have nearly doubled since his time, being 60 p.a. He has met Dr. Matthew Spens who told him that Bp. Drummond has lost a colleague [the principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh] and, wishing him to be replaced by a minister of the Church of England has written to Boucher [see also A/4a-b]; however, Bp. Watson Richard Watson, Bp. of Llandaff, D.N.B.] has written someone else a testimonial, which Daubeny considers a very poor recommendation. He and Bp. Douglas [see A/4] agree that the Anti-Jacobin is in need of assistance. He disapproves of Bp. Porteaus' [of London] support of Hannah More; the Bishop has acted very badly in another matter which Daubeny cannot explain in a letter.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [28 January 1800]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/13). He is sorry that the fees at Winchester have risen so high, and fears that this trend will lead to less learning in the Church. His Letters to Mrs. Hannah More have received very handsome reviews, but his critic, Sir Richard Hill, has appeared again and attacked both the Guide and the Appendix ; Daubeny is not eager to write another reply.","Item 1: Charles Daubeny to [Jonathan Boucher], 27 Feb[ruar]y 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/14). He has read through Boucher's papers and returns them with his comments. The tenet that Faith is necessarily productive is very near the Calvinistic doctrine of the irresistibility of divine Grace; as long as Mrs. More continues to frequent independent chapels he will doubt her attachment to the Church of England; he gives her credit for much good done on the best principle, but not for the best judgment or the best information. When he has time, he will tell Boucher more about the Bp. of London, whom he thinks neither sound nor honest.\nItem 2: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 16 April 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears eal. (B/5/15). He has sent Boucher his comments on Sir Richard Hill's last publication; he believes he should be answered as in these times, his work may do mischief. He is also sending a sermon by a Mr. Dennis in defence of Mrs. More, who keeps a sort of school for the younger, self-confident, \"hop, step and jump\" clergy; he has reviewed it at length as it misrepresents what he wrote in his Letters to Mrs. Hannah More. He has received a letter from a Mr. Ludlam [possibly Thomas Ludlam, D.N.B., theologian and opponent of Calvinism] complimenting him on this work.\nItem 3: Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 7 Nov[embe]r 1800\n7 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/16). He believes his packet containing Mr. Dennis's sermon may not have reached Boucher; Dennis is one of those self-sufficient, forward young Divines now growing up in the Church. He has seen Boucher's handsome review of a work by the Bp. of Lincoln but doubts whether the Bishop is as orthodox and apostolical as he is represented to be.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [14 January 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/17). Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] has asked him to reply to Dr. Campbell's posthumous publication [Lectures on Ecclesiastical History] by Dr. George Campbell]; he feels that this might seem like presumption in a Church of England clergyman, and that Bp. Skinner himself is the fittest person to defend the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin has reviewed a work by Mr. Evans, who was Daubeny's curate until dismissed with disgrace.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 21 January 1801\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/18). He encloses a letter he has written at the pressing solicitation of Bp. Drummond to Lord Kinnoul who was a friend of his at Oxford; the Earl has already consulted the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject [of the Scottish Church]. Daubeny has heard once more from Mr. Jones Dennis who has sent him notice of the Churchman's Magazine which is shortly to be published.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Lord Kinnoul, Robert Auriol Hay-Drummond, 1751-1804, Earl of Kinnoull], November 1800\n8 pages. Autograph Copy Signed. (B/5/19). The Bishop is the center of Unity in his diocese and any departure from the obligation of ecclesiastical Unity is schism; English Bishops have no authority is Scotland so the claim of the clergy of the Anglican communions in Scotland to be attached to the Church of England is without foundation; they owe canonical obedience to the Scottish Bishops and any resistance is resistance to the Ordinance of God.","Item 1: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 3 March 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears seal of Daubeny. (B/5/20). He is sending Boucher some of his sermons intended to publication as a relaxation from etymological research. The British Critic, which he had thought at least Episcopalian, is doing more harm than good to the cause of the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin Review exaggerates the value of Dr. Randolph's sermons.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 6 May 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/21). He has heard nothing from Boucher about the papers he sent him but his nephew [Joshua] Watson says he is very busy and very lazy. A new medical publication by a Dr. Haggarth is said to have been read before the library \u0026 Philosophical Society at Bath; such literary juntas, full of half- informed, unprincipled men, are all the fashion; this society, self-constituted at Bath, is headed by infidels and Quakers; the Treasurer is Matthews, the Quaker; Dr. Gibbes [Sir George Smith Gibbes, D.N.B.] is the secretary; Sir George Colebrooke, the President; and Sir William Watson [D.N.B.], the Vice President.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 29 May 1801\n4 pages.  Autograph Letter Signed.  (B/5/22). He is sending Boucher some further Discourses with a Preface addressed to the younger clergy mentioning Dr. Campbell's work, as Bp. Skinner suggested. Dr. Randolph merely skimmed over a great subject; the admiration of William Stevens (\"not my friend\") for him is a species of self- idolatry. If Bp. Skinner wishes to see Daubeny's letter to Lord Kinnoul, will Boucher send on his copy [B/5/19]; criticism of Dr. Campbell's book. He knows nothing of Mr. Faber, but as he is a Calvinist, their works will hardly cover the same ground.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [16 September 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/23). He is sending via Joshua Watson, a very handsome letter he received from John Bowden, D.D., Principal of the Episcopal Academy in Connecticut; he is much impressed by the sound principles and seal of both the American and the Scottish Episcopacy. He asks Boucher to help him make his Discourses fit for the press; the lengthy criticism of Dr. Campbell's works needs a more formal introduction.\nItem 5: John Bowden, Cheshire, Connecticut, to Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], 18 June 1801\nCopy of Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/24). On behalf of the Convocation of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut he thanks Daubeny for Writing his Guide to the Church . He sent for a copy on reading a review in the Anti-Jacobin , and was so impressed by it that he and his colleagues are determined that it shall be a standard book for candidates for Holy Orders. Expresses admiration and affection for England and its institutions.","Item 1: C[harles] D[aubeny], Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 19 Nov[embe]r 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/25). His Discourses have been much improved by Boucher's revisions. He has just been sent a pamphlet by a layman attacking him as a traducer of Baxter; \"the Laity write with so much confidence on divine Subjects, that if we are to take their own word for it, the Clergy may shut up shop\"; he believes that he gave Baxter as much credit as he deserved in his Guide to the Church, in fact, he treated him generously. Lists misdeeds [in Daubeny's eyes] of [Richard] Baxter.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jona[tha]n Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 19 Mar[ch] 1802\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/26). He is sending copies of his Discourses [published under the title of Eight Discourses on the Connexion between the Old and New Testament ] to Boucher and Bps. Drummond and Skinner; he hopes that Boucher and Skinner will review it. He hoped that Bp. Skinner would have been able to visit Bath to see his church [Christ Church, Walcot] there. He has received Boucher's Prospectus [of his Glossary of Archaic and Provincial Words ] and has put his own name down and that of Winchester College Library.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 27 March 1802\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/27). He has asked Dr. Gleig to review his Discourses as Boucher has declined to do so. He believes William Stevens to be fundamentally an honest man, but his passions so run away with his judgment, that he is subject to be imposed upon by those who are not honest men. Daubeny defends Public Seminaries on a general principle, considering them to be the best security against Ignorance and Enthusiasm.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, North Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 11 July 1803\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/28). He hopes that Boucher will read through the Guide to the Church making marginal remarks, preparatory to a new edition. He refers to the prospect of a stall at Durham for Boucher. Exhorts Boucher to spend his time in defense of the church.","W[illia]m Cobbett, Philadelphia, [Pa.], to Jona[tha]n Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 11 July 1803\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed.

Henry Addison of Prince George's County, Maryland] and Mr. Maury, whose scheme to settle in the West was put a stop to by the unjust and impolitic Royal Proclamation against further settlements.  Thanks him for \"Friendly Intentions\" toward his sister-in-law.  Asks his reaction to the \"Demise of Dr. Brown.\" ","Jona[tha]n Boucher, St. Mary's [Parish, Caroline County, Va.] to John James, Whitehaven, [Eng.], 4 July 1767\nEncloses a bill to await the arrival of his sister.  Mr. Cooper, President of the College of New York [see B/2], has been sounding out the clergy on the scheme of a bishop's coming to America, but has met with little encouragement.  Asks information on the Rev. Benedict Allen.  Hopes of preferment in Maryland.  ","[Jonathan] Boucher, St. Mary's Parish, Caroline County, Va.] to [Rev. John] James, Whitehaven, Eng.]., 25 July 1769\nAlthough he applied to the new Governor, [Robert Eden] before his coming out to Marland, as Mr. Addison and the Dulaneys advised, he has failed to secure preferment and Mr. Magowan, his own protege, has been successful. He would like to buy a living in England and could raise £1000.  Asks James to look for a curate for Mr. Addison and an usher for his own school.  Sends thanks to Mr. Denon for his letter of recommendation.","Jonathan Boucher, London, [Eng.] to [John James]., 7 Jan[uary] 1776\nHe believes that the present troubles in America are due less to the Stamp Act and Duties on tea than to a \"principle of revolt innate in all colonies\"; the British constitution is not well adapted to the ruling of colonies, but as colonies are so important to Britain, she should profit by past errors; any accommodation reached must be of a permanent nature; American institutions cherish Republicanism but various English men from Chatham to Priestly have helped kindle this flame; in America, members of the Church of England, particularly the clergy, have remained loyal in spite of persecution. ","[Jonathan Boucher], London, [Eng.] to [John James], 8 Jan[ua]ry 1776\nHe regrets leaving America, but he could not have remained there with safety; his friend the Governor of Maryland has written to recommend him to the Earl of Dartmouth, the Bishop of London, his brother-in-law the Bishop of Bangor [John Moore 1730-1805], and his brother the Under Secretary of State [William Eden, 1st Lord Auckland 1744-1814]. Boucher has discussed America with Lord George Germain, the new American Secretary. The large numbers of American refugees make it difficult to obtain preferment, but Dr. Cooper [see B/2] has given up his curacy of Paddington, worth 70 p.a. to Boucher; Boucher has left lands and slaves in America worth 5000 and has brought only L200 with him; he will find it difficult to support the orphans at Blencogo [possibly Kitty and Betty Strange who appear in later letters as protegees of Boucher]. Problems with repaying his debt to James. Asks to raise debt to L200.  4 pages.

He intends to buy land to add to his Blencogo estate, and asks James to stand surety for him. Property in Maryland is still intact. Threatened but protected by his lawyer via a \"sham sale.\" Admiral Rodney's success has not made him over optimistic; he wishes it had been the French, rather than the Dutch, that had been beaten.

He has read through the papers sent to him by Eden but does not agree with his views on education, which resemble those of Dr. Priestley; he fears they may expose the whole work to censure and so, though diffident about putting forward his own notions, he has re-written this section; Eden must decide which version to use; he has also softened the critique on Mr. Pitt. He wonders what effect Burke's pamphlet [probably Letters on a Regicide Peace] will have on the public mind; the \"speechifyings\" in Parliament have been very poor - \"this is not an age of great men.\"","J[onathan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.] to Sir F[rederick] M[orton] E[den], undated [ca. 1793?] Thurs.

He is forwarding a letter from Mr. Addison to Mr. Watson. Eden's play is not to go to Sheridan who is \"as little worthy to be trusted with a new play, as with money, or anything else\", or to Grubb, but to young Banister; Boucher is not optimistic as to its success.","J[onathan] B[oucher] to Sir Fred[erick] M[orton] Eden, undated Wed A.M.\n1 page.

(A/4/1). There is a principle of revolt in all colonies which stems from a lack of foresight in colony administration; the subduing of the rebellion in America is of secondary importance to the new-modelling of its Government. Says focus of the war should be placed on New England. Decisive action against Washington is imperative to the British cause. New York is well- disposed and would make a good base for the King's troops. Advocates control of New York from New York City to Albany to split the northern colonies from the southern. Pennsylvania has made no overt act of treason nor raised any troops; the Carolinias, Virginia and Maryland are too busy with internal problems, i.e. Indians and slaves, to seek regular troops in a hostile way; the white servants would certainly enlist with the King's troops, Baltimore and Annapolis contain many such men; trade embargos should be sufficient to deal with these colonies. Washington shows extraordinary coolness and caution but has very little personal experience; the first general action against him must be decisive.","[Rev] Jonathan Boucher, Paddington, [Eng.] to W[illia]m Eden, Undersecretary of State, 27 June 1776\nCopy; original in Public Record Office. 4 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed.

As it is difficult for a gentleman who has been used to better circumstances to learn to live on 70 p.a., he solicits Eden's good offices with Lord George [Germain] for a further supply of money. He claims no special merit for his actions in America, but others who have done less have received pensions. He would like to be commended to Lord Dartmouth, the Abp. of Canterbury and the Bps. of London and Bangor, and hopes that Eden may be able to help him to preferment in America when a settlement is reached.","W[illia]m Eden, Downing Street, [London, Eng.] to Mr. Pownall, Secretary to Board of Trade, 4 July 1776\nCopy; original in Public Record Office. 2 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed.

He has declined position of Principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh because the Scottish Anglicans refuse to render obedience to the Scottish bishops; he asks the Bishop to assist the cause of Scottish Union which he has so long supported. Edinburgh is captivated with popular preaching; even Bp. Abernethy Drummond stipulates that the English assistant he requires must be a good preacher. Cautioned Bp.

(A/4b). He does not expect Douglas, in his present state of health, to play any active part in promoting Scottish Union, but he might certainly use his influence to remove prejudice. He has advised Bp. Drummond, who is apt to be intemperate in his zeal, and Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] to write an address to the English Bishops, and he suggests that Douglas should write to the Episcopal Congregations of Edinburgh. The obstacle of the Abjuration Oath will soon be removed as it will doubtless be repealed on the death of the Cardinal of New York, which may be daily expected.","Item 1: [James Maury], Albemarle [Co.], [Va.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Nov. 1763\n7 pages.

Detailed consideration of a poetical letter by Boucher which is to be published by Royle; Boreas Self bowing to publish an article through the Maryland Gazette which vindicated the Virginia House of Burgesses voting an award of 2500 to Mr. Randolph for defending the House's opposition to the Governor's demand for a pistole for every land patent he signed because the Virginia presses did not wish to offend the Governor and his council. Boucher need not fear to be discovered as the author, as it will recommend him to the most sensible, equitable, and honest part of the Clergy and Laity. Maury comments extensively on his regard for Boucher. Boucher should get Mr. Jackson's opinion of the work. Tickell is to accompany Maury to Hanover Court where his case is to be heard.\nItem 2: Narrative of the determination of a suit between the Minister of Fredericksville, plaintiff, and the collectors of the said parish, defendants, for arrears of salary, in Hanover Court, November and December 1763 n.d.

Patrick Henry began his political career by opposing Maury's claim for arrears in the \"Parson's Cause\".] The jury was not of persons of rank and understanding, and although the verdict was in favour of the plaintiff, only one penny damages was awarded; the Jury had been harangued by one of the Defendant's lawyers [Patrick Henry] who asserted \"that the King, by annulling and disallowing laws of so salutary a nature [the Two Penny Act of 1758], from being the Father of his people, degenerates into a tyrant and forfeits all right to his subjects' obedience;\" at which there were cries of Treason!

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/70). Canon Holcombe owes him 18 6s 8d interest. His two \"nephews\", as Dr. Glasse calls them, visited him last night [probably two of the Richardson family]; the Richardson business now looks more hopeful; the estate may be rendered solvent.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surry, [Eng.], 3 Oct. 1794\n3 pages Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/71). He has all the troubles of family man with none of the pleasures. Tom and John Richardson have been guilty of some financial misconduct in discharging the debts of the estate; Stevens has written a reproving letter to John [later Sir John Richardson, D.N.B.].\nItem 6: William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 8 Octo[ber] 1794\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/72). Stevens asks Boucher to write to Anthony Richardson telling him that he may draw on him [i.e. Stevens] to the amount of the bills, rather than delivering up the coffee on the island; he does this on the assumption that Tom Richardson will raise the money before the bills fall due; he is surprised that Anthony can upbraid him with not coming forward to help the family when they are already under such great obligations to him.","Item 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 15 Octo[ber] 1794\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/3/73). He has read and approved Boucher's letter to Anthony. He intends to visit him on Saturday, but unless his eyes recover from their complaint, he will have to travel by post chaise.\nItem 2: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 25 Octo[ber] 1794\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/74). The state of his eyes is improving. Joshua [Watson; see Danberry to Boucher, 1798 May 7] called with melancholy account of the poor young man [?] about whom all his friends are so anxious. John Richardson will be returning to town tomorrow; he must have a gown to be admitted as a Law Student.\nItem 3: William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to Jonathan Bo[ucher], 26 Aug[ust] 1785\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/75). Both he and Boucher had incomes, adequate to all the purposes of comfort and convenience; their present troubles are the result of a lack of foresight.\nItem 4: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to J[onathan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 5 Octo[ber] 1795\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/76). Stevens' landlord [his cousin, the Rector of Otham] is pleased that Boucher has him so much in remembrance. He is glad that Boucher approves \"The Life\" [Jones of Nayland's Life of Bishop Horne ] and asks him to review it for the Critical Review. Stevens has received some money for Boucher on Mrs. Chandler's account. If Dr.. Vyse and Dr. Benson, both of whom are ill, should die, the Archbishop will have some livings to dispose of.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Aug[us]t 1796\n2 pages Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/77). He has dined with Lord Romney and has received a legacy of 690. He hopes Boucher's etymological work is proceeding but fears that he is too old to profit by it. He hopes that Mr. Parkhurst's health is improving.","Item 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to Jonathan [Boucher], 25 Jan[uar]y 1798\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/78). However Miller Southgate may like the principles of Boucher's book, what will he think of his practices? He will probably expect to see a calf's head on the table at dinner.\nItem 2: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 5 Sept. 1798\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/79). He and Boucher are both wanderers, but Boucher prefers mountains. Boucher's work [A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution] has been well received by Lord Kenyon and the Archbishop of York. As he was \"struck out of the Privy Council\" after giving his opinion against accepting a mitre in the Scottish church, he had not heard that Boucher had taken a house at Carlisle and does not think it signifies anything whether he approves or not.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 18 Oct[ober] 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/80). He hopes that he will soon be able to talk to Boucher instead of writing to him. Boucher has had a misunderstanding over terms of printing with George Robinson.","Item 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 16 Jan[uary] 1800\n1 page Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/81). As a tribute to Mr. Jones [Jones of Nayland, died 6 Jan.] he, Dr. Glasse, and Frank Randolph are to assist Mr. Gifford in publishing a biographical sketch; he asks Boucher to help them.\nItem 2: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 21 April 1800\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/82). He thanks Boucher for his information about \"Scots lords and German bears.\" Boucher takes too gloomy a view of his hopes and prospects; against his failure in his hopes of a Scottish Bishopric and the prospect of three pupils may be weighed the fortune bequeathed by Miss Barton [see B/3/11] and the thousands obtained with Miss Foreman [Boucher's second wife, whose fortune was 14,000]. The Rector of Otham [William Horne] sends his best respects and suggests Boucher try and live quiet and happy.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 26 April, 1800\n1 page Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/83). Stevens' previous letter was delayed in the post. He reminds Boucher that he should send a receipt for the quarter year's allowance to Mrs. Chandler. He wishes him a successful journey.\nItem 4: William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan [Boucher], 4 June 1800\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/84). He is convinced by Sir William Forbes' letter that the Archbishop [of Canterbury] was right in what he said to Lord Kinnoull and it is not his fault that the measure failed that Boucher wished to succeed. Prince and Gifford [John Gifford; D.N.B.] deserve to have their bones broken for what was written about Stevens' in the Anti-Jacobin . He feels that the writing of a life of Old Jones is beyond his powers.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Farmborough, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, Sussex, [Eng.], 15 Aug[ust] 1800\n3 pages Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/85). Boucher's strict system of economy has been so ruinous that Stevens is determined to renounce economy altogether. He gives Boucher information about Mr. Post, a Gentleman of the law, for whom he has no high regard; Post has told Boucher that marriages have diminished, so Stevens was comforted for the future of the world when he found that bastardy increased in the same proportion. Boucher need not fear to be thought a Low Churchman and may sit on the right hand of Nobody at the next meeting [Nobody's club, founded in Stevens' honour in 1800, was known for its High Church principles]; but how can he think Lord Kinnoull a sensible honest man when he is no better than a Presbyterian? He hopes Boucher will see Anthony Richardson while he is in England. Sir Frederick [Eden] will be an excellent neighbour.\nItem 6: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, [Eng.], Goose Eating Day 1800 [Michaelmas 29 Sept.]\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/86). He contrasts his own apathy with Boucher's energy. He thanks Boucher for offering to write the biographical sketch of Old Jones, but he has, after much effort, written one of his own which he will show him in manuscript. Frank [Randolph] has published some sermons. He sees from the papers that Sir F. [Frederick Eden] is Chairman of the Flour Company. One of Stevens' brother-auditors has just died so he is now senior auditor. The Rector [of Otham] has made 400 from hops, the young Squire about 4000.","Item 1: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to Jon[athan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 1 Sept. 1801\n3 pages. Autograph Letter. (B/3/87). He warns Boucher not to expect great things from his letters; he bears news of him through Tom Calverley and John Richardson; Boucher has been having trouble with his agent for his property in the North; it is surprising that he has not learned from experience. He is sorry to hear that Boucher has had trouble with his assistant; he hopes that the connection with Frere may take place [probably the position was offered to one of John Frere's sons]; he is glad that Boucher takes more kindly to \"pupilizing\" and suggests that he asks Tom Hooker, who has a school at Rottingdean, for recommendations. Has Boucher noticed the Bagdon business?\nItem 2: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 31 March 1803\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/88). He has had a letter from Dr. Glasse who is satisfied with the care taken of his grandson at Epsom.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 22 Dec. 1803\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram.(B/3/89). He is sorry to hear of Boucher's ill health and of the disappointment he has had over the withdrawal of a troublesome pupil. He had heard of Tom Hooker's death.\nItem 4: [William Stevens] to [Jonathan Boucher], undated\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/90). He has made inquiries about Washington's letters; they are very well written (though he has heard Boucher say that Washington is no great clerk) but he believes them to be authentic as the sentiments expressed are in keeping with Boucher's account of him.","Item 1: Sir] Frederick Morton Eden, Ch[rist] Ch[urch], Oxford, [Eng], to Jon[athan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 8 Nov. 1786\n2 pages.

Hopes to come to Epsom soon.\nItem 2: [Sir] Frederick Morton Eden, Lambeth Palace, [Eng], to [Jonathan Boucher], 18 May 1787\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/4/2). He cannot visit Boucher next week as Mrs. Moore [the Archbishop's wife, and Eden's aunt] has promised him a seat in the Prebend's Box, for the Abbey Commemoration.  He hopes, however, to see Boucher at the end of the month and will be happy to be introduced to Mrs. Boucher.\nItem 3: [Sir] Frederick Morton Eden, Lambeth Palace, [Eng], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 18 June 1787\n3 pages.

Autograph Letter Signed. Bears a seal. (B/4/4). Tunbridge is full of old Dowagers of quality and discarded statesmen; he has dined with Lord North whose blindness has not affected his spirits. The Loyalists are still waiting for some compensation from the Government; he is less hopeful than his mother. He sends a curious inscription which he found on a gravestone in Kent.\nItem 5: [Sir] F[rederick] M[orton] E[den], to Jon[athan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [postmark 21 July 1791]\n1 page.

He has read Lucien Bonaparte's speech of 14 July and finds it a most eloquent invective against Revolutions. Its purpose, Anglice, is \"keep my Brother, the First Consul, as long as you can\"; but he does not agree with his Eulogium on the theft of treasures from the Pope.\nItem 6: [Sir] F[rederick M[orton] E[den], W[orthing], [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, [Eng.]4 Aug. 1800\n1 page.

He considered Burns a poet of great descriptive powers, pastoral humour and pathos, and regrets that he should have had such a melancholy fall. He quotes some lines from Cowper's \"Retirement\" about philologists. The Committee of the House of Commons has passed five or six Resolutions for the improvement of the Metropolis identical to those in Porto Bello [Eden's book on the Improvement of the Port \u0026 City of London, 1798].","Item 1: Char[le]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, at Joshua Watson's, No. 16, Mincing Lane, London, [Eng.] 7 May 1798\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. B/5/1). He has received Boucher's valuable and interesting publication [his American sermons] from Mr. Watson [Joshua Watson; D.N.B.; wine merchant and philanthropist; married to Daubeny's niece]; he sees in this country the principles which led to the American Revolution. In an article on his Guide to the Church, the Analytical Review calls him, Boucher and Horsley [Samuel Horsley, later Bp. of St. Asaph; D.N.B.] the Lauds of the present day. He sent Mr. Wilberforce a copy of his book but does not know whether he will read it.\nItem 2: Char[le]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, near Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 20 June 1798\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/2). He asks Boucher how to direct a letter to the Rt. Rev. W.A. Drummond at Hawthorndon [William Abernethy Drummond, Bp. of Edinburgh]; the Bishop believes his Guide to the Church may do some good in Scotland and wishes to have it abridged there. Daubeny would like Boucher's opinion of Sir Richard Hill's \"farrago\" as he intends to answer it [Sir Richard Hill; D.N.B.; supporter of Calvinistic Methodism, attacked Daubeny's Guide, and carried on a long controversy with him by pamphlets]. The work of churchmen is usually to go over old ground.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Mr. [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 28 Dec[embe]r 1798\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/3). He apologizes for not acknowledging earlier sermons Boucher sent him, but he has been much occupied with his new church at Bath [Christ Church, Walcot] and with his reply to Sir Richard Hill, which Boucher advised him to write; he would like him to read the first part of this work; Mr. William Stevens has written to tell him that Mr. Jones [of Nayland] is thinking of replying to Sir Richard. He asks whether Boucher has heard from his friend, the Scotch Bishop [of Edinburgh], how the abridgement of the Guide to the Church is progressing.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 8 Jan[uar]y 1799\n3 pages.

Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/5). He has received his packet of papers and Boucher's notes upon them and is sending him another packet which he should keep until the remaining part of the publication comes before him; he would like Boucher's opinion on the scope of the work, particularly on the subjects of Calvinism, Church Unity and Schism.\nItem 6: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Feb[ruar]y 1799\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/6). He is sending Boucher the final part of his work which has already been corrected by Mr. Bowdler, [John Bowdler, D.N.B.]; although he wishes everything harsh-sounding to be cut out of the work, he thinks that Bowdler has carried this a little too far, and would welcome Boucher's opinion on those corrections; Boucher can expect no other reward than the satisfaction of supporting the Cause of the Church.\nItem 7: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, No. 8 Cresent, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher, 18 Mar[ch] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/7a). The first part of his work is in the press, and he asks Boucher to return any part of the remainder with which he has finished. He asks if Boucher has seen Bp. Drummond's abridgment of the Guide ; and abridgement of the work, with addenda from the letters to Sir Richard Hill, would be a useful book for general circulation; he is unwilling to undertake this task himself as an author is the worst qualified to abridge his own work. The liberal ideas and smooth sentences of such modern speculatists as Dr. Paley [William Paley, D.N.B.] may be preferred to his old-fashioned writing as more accommodating. He sent a copy of the Guide to the Archbishop of Canterbury but he did not acknowledge it.\nItem 8: Suggested title page for Daubeny's Letters to Sir Richard Hill [which were published under the title An Appendix to the Guide to the Church], undated\nWrapper of (B/5/7a). 1 page. Autograph Manuscript Signed. (B/5/7b).","Item 1: Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 10 April 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/8). He is revising the last part of his work, incorporating many of Boucher's suggestions; he hopes it may be better received than the Guide which had a very poor review in the British Critic; his friend, the author of Reform or Ruin, [John Bowdler], does not wish to undertake a review; Daubeny considers Boucher the fittest person to do this.  He commends the sound  constitutional principles of the Anti-Jacobin; his abilities are at the service of the editor [John Gifford, D.N.B.]; he considers \"that schismatic courier\", The Gospel Magazine, a danger to the Constitution.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N. Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.]., 16 July 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/9). He has directed Hatchard [John Hatchard, D.N.B., publisher] to keep six copies of the book for Boucher to distribute to his friends at Shrewsbury, Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] and his father, and the Rev. Dr. Glegg [sic: George Gleig, D.N.B., later Bp. of Brechin]. He hopes his book has aided the cause of the church. Thanks Boucher for his revisions.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Trowbridge], [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 24 Sept[ember] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/10). He has received strong and decided letters from Bp. Skinner and Dr. Gleig, and believes that will write good reviews of his book; however, he is sorry that Boucher would not undertake this task. He is sorry to hear that the Anti-Jacobin is declining and wishes he had more leisure to write for it. He has written a pamphlet to Mrs. Hannah More, whose faith, like that of Mr. Wilberforce, is Calvinism in disguise; her doctrine that Faith is necessarily productive of works is a most dangerous error, a true Child of Enthusiasm. An explanation of his reasoning on that point.\nItem 4: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.]., 23 Oct[obe]r 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/11). Sir Richard Hill is to reply to Daubeny's answer; all Calvinists are the spawn of the Scotch Covenanters and, were it in their power, would be just as intolerant; Daubeny has also been attacked by a brother clergyman. Of some parts of Mrs. More's writings he has as high an opinion as Boucher, but as she has it in her power to do so much good, he wishes her to be \"wholly with us\"; however, the difference is in expression rather than idea. He will use his influence at Winchester College [where he was a Fellow] on behalf of Boucher's son, but application for admission should be made immediately; he will find out about fees when his own boys come home for Christmas.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Jan[uary] 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/12). The fees of Winchester College have nearly doubled since his time, being 60 p.a. He has met Dr. Matthew Spens who told him that Bp. Drummond has lost a colleague [the principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh] and, wishing him to be replaced by a minister of the Church of England has written to Boucher [see also A/4a-b]; however, Bp. Watson Richard Watson, Bp. of Llandaff, D.N.B.] has written someone else a testimonial, which Daubeny considers a very poor recommendation. He and Bp. Douglas [see A/4] agree that the Anti-Jacobin is in need of assistance. He disapproves of Bp. Porteaus' [of London] support of Hannah More; the Bishop has acted very badly in another matter which Daubeny cannot explain in a letter.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [28 January 1800]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/13). He is sorry that the fees at Winchester have risen so high, and fears that this trend will lead to less learning in the Church. His Letters to Mrs. Hannah More have received very handsome reviews, but his critic, Sir Richard Hill, has appeared again and attacked both the Guide and the Appendix ; Daubeny is not eager to write another reply.","Item 1: Charles Daubeny to [Jonathan Boucher], 27 Feb[ruar]y 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/14). He has read through Boucher's papers and returns them with his comments. The tenet that Faith is necessarily productive is very near the Calvinistic doctrine of the irresistibility of divine Grace; as long as Mrs. More continues to frequent independent chapels he will doubt her attachment to the Church of England; he gives her credit for much good done on the best principle, but not for the best judgment or the best information. When he has time, he will tell Boucher more about the Bp. of London, whom he thinks neither sound nor honest.\nItem 2: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 16 April 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears eal. (B/5/15). He has sent Boucher his comments on Sir Richard Hill's last publication; he believes he should be answered as in these times, his work may do mischief. He is also sending a sermon by a Mr. Dennis in defence of Mrs. More, who keeps a sort of school for the younger, self-confident, \"hop, step and jump\" clergy; he has reviewed it at length as it misrepresents what he wrote in his Letters to Mrs. Hannah More. He has received a letter from a Mr. Ludlam [possibly Thomas Ludlam, D.N.B., theologian and opponent of Calvinism] complimenting him on this work.\nItem 3: Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 7 Nov[embe]r 1800\n7 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/16). He believes his packet containing Mr. Dennis's sermon may not have reached Boucher; Dennis is one of those self-sufficient, forward young Divines now growing up in the Church. He has seen Boucher's handsome review of a work by the Bp. of Lincoln but doubts whether the Bishop is as orthodox and apostolical as he is represented to be.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [14 January 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/17). Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] has asked him to reply to Dr. Campbell's posthumous publication [Lectures on Ecclesiastical History] by Dr. George Campbell]; he feels that this might seem like presumption in a Church of England clergyman, and that Bp. Skinner himself is the fittest person to defend the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin has reviewed a work by Mr. Evans, who was Daubeny's curate until dismissed with disgrace.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 21 January 1801\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/18). He encloses a letter he has written at the pressing solicitation of Bp. Drummond to Lord Kinnoul who was a friend of his at Oxford; the Earl has already consulted the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject [of the Scottish Church]. Daubeny has heard once more from Mr. Jones Dennis who has sent him notice of the Churchman's Magazine which is shortly to be published.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Lord Kinnoul, Robert Auriol Hay-Drummond, 1751-1804, Earl of Kinnoull], November 1800\n8 pages. Autograph Copy Signed. (B/5/19). The Bishop is the center of Unity in his diocese and any departure from the obligation of ecclesiastical Unity is schism; English Bishops have no authority is Scotland so the claim of the clergy of the Anglican communions in Scotland to be attached to the Church of England is without foundation; they owe canonical obedience to the Scottish Bishops and any resistance is resistance to the Ordinance of God.","Item 1: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 3 March 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears seal of Daubeny. (B/5/20). He is sending Boucher some of his sermons intended to publication as a relaxation from etymological research. The British Critic, which he had thought at least Episcopalian, is doing more harm than good to the cause of the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin Review exaggerates the value of Dr. Randolph's sermons.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 6 May 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/21). He has heard nothing from Boucher about the papers he sent him but his nephew [Joshua] Watson says he is very busy and very lazy. A new medical publication by a Dr. Haggarth is said to have been read before the library \u0026 Philosophical Society at Bath; such literary juntas, full of half- informed, unprincipled men, are all the fashion; this society, self-constituted at Bath, is headed by infidels and Quakers; the Treasurer is Matthews, the Quaker; Dr. Gibbes [Sir George Smith Gibbes, D.N.B.] is the secretary; Sir George Colebrooke, the President; and Sir William Watson [D.N.B.], the Vice President.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 29 May 1801\n4 pages.  Autograph Letter Signed.  (B/5/22). He is sending Boucher some further Discourses with a Preface addressed to the younger clergy mentioning Dr. Campbell's work, as Bp. Skinner suggested. Dr. Randolph merely skimmed over a great subject; the admiration of William Stevens (\"not my friend\") for him is a species of self- idolatry. If Bp. Skinner wishes to see Daubeny's letter to Lord Kinnoul, will Boucher send on his copy [B/5/19]; criticism of Dr. Campbell's book. He knows nothing of Mr. Faber, but as he is a Calvinist, their works will hardly cover the same ground.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [16 September 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/23).

Boucher was unable to fore the result of the American war; \"If the Rebels seem to have been more successful, they owe it not to their superior wisdom, but superior villainy.

The situation in America now seems more hopeful. Prospect of Maryland being recovered because of quarrels amongst its leaders. Has received many letters favorable to his wishes concerning America. Washington has asked to be remembered to him, and a neighbour in Mayland is making overtures; the library of Tophan Beauclerk is to be sold, \"it is said to be the largest and best ever exposed to sale\"; catalogues will be printed and sold after Christmas.

There is a principle of revolt in all colonies which stems from a lack of foresight in colony administration; the subduing of the rebellion in America is of secondary importance to the new-modelling of its Government. Says focus of the war should be placed on New England. Decisive action against Washington is imperative to the British cause. New York is well- disposed and would make a good base for the King's troops. Advocates control of New York from New York City to Albany to split the northern colonies from the southern. Pennsylvania has made no overt act of treason nor raised any troops; the Carolinias, Virginia and Maryland are too busy with internal problems, i.e. Indians and slaves, to seek regular troops in a hostile way; the white servants would certainly enlist with the King's troops, Baltimore and Annapolis contain many such men; trade embargos should be sufficient to deal with these colonies.

Anthony Richardson [one of the widow's sons] has written to ask Stevens' and Boucher's sanction to deliver the account current, signed by his mother, to G.F.; Stevens asks Boucher's advice as he mistrusts G.F.'s motives, and dislikes doing any business with him; Anthony hopes that the money from the crops will be sufficient to pay the interest on the debts but Stevens is not so sanguine.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], Epsom, Surry, [Eng.], 16 Aug. 1791\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/54). Anthony Richardson is eager and importunate which makes him inconsiderate; he shows want of judgement in not releasing who his best friends are.

He has discussed the [Monthly?] Review with Robinson who would accept articles and reviews from divines \"sound in the faith\"; the printing of the John Bull pamphlet would cost 2 per thousand copies.\nItem 6: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 24 Nov[embe]r 1792\n1 page.

Signed with monogram. (B/3/69). Boucher is much in favour of Scottish Union. He advises him to leave the negotiations for the scheme to Sir William Forbes [D.N.B.] who is intimate with the Archbishop. [Bp. Skinner of Aberdeen hoped to assist the scheme for Scottish Union by the appointment of Boucher as Bishop of Edinburgh; Boucher visited Edinburgh in Oct. 1793 but the idea was abandoned largely owing to opposition from the Presbyterians.]\nItem 4: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to Jonathan [Boucher], 27 Nov[ember] 1793\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/70). Canon Holcombe owes him 18 6s 8d interest.

Stevens asks Boucher to write to Anthony Richardson telling him that he may draw on him [i.e. Stevens] to the amount of the bills, rather than delivering up the coffee on the island; he does this on the assumption that Tom Richardson will raise the money before the bills fall due; he is surprised that Anthony can upbraid him with not coming forward to help the family when they are already under such great obligations to him.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eItem 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 15 Octo[ber] 1794\n1 page.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/76). Stevens' landlord [his cousin, the Rector of Otham] is pleased that Boucher has him so much in remembrance.

Vyse and Dr. Benson, both of whom are ill, should die, the Archbishop will have some livings to dispose of.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Aug[us]t 1796\n2 pages Autograph Letter Signed.

Signed with monogram. (B/3/79). He and Boucher are both wanderers, but Boucher prefers mountains. Boucher's work [A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution] has been well received by Lord Kenyon and the Archbishop of York. As he was \"struck out of the Privy Council\" after giving his opinion against accepting a mitre in the Scottish church, he had not heard that Boucher had taken a house at Carlisle and does not think it signifies anything whether he approves or not.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 18 Oct[ober] 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/80). He hopes that he will soon be able to talk to Boucher instead of writing to him.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/82). He thanks Boucher for his information about \"Scots lords and German bears.\" Boucher takes too gloomy a view of his hopes and prospects; against his failure in his hopes of a Scottish Bishopric and the prospect of three pupils may be weighed the fortune bequeathed by Miss Barton [see B/3/11] and the thousands obtained with Miss Foreman [Boucher's second wife, whose fortune was 14,000]. The Rector of Otham [William Horne] sends his best respects and suggests Boucher try and live quiet and happy.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 26 April, 1800\n1 page Autograph Letter Signed.

He is convinced by Sir William Forbes' letter that the Archbishop [of Canterbury] was right in what he said to Lord Kinnoull and it is not his fault that the measure failed that Boucher wished to succeed. Prince and Gifford [John Gifford; D.N.B.] deserve to have their bones broken for what was written about Stevens' in the Anti-Jacobin . He feels that the writing of a life of Old Jones is beyond his powers.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Farmborough, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, Sussex, [Eng.], 15 Aug[ust] 1800\n3 pages Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/85). Boucher's strict system of economy has been so ruinous that Stevens is determined to renounce economy altogether. He gives Boucher information about Mr. Post, a Gentleman of the law, for whom he has no high regard; Post has told Boucher that marriages have diminished, so Stevens was comforted for the future of the world when he found that bastardy increased in the same proportion. Boucher need not fear to be thought a Low Churchman and may sit on the right hand of Nobody at the next meeting [Nobody's club, founded in Stevens' honour in 1800, was known for its High Church principles]; but how can he think Lord Kinnoull a sensible honest man when he is no better than a Presbyterian? He hopes Boucher will see Anthony Richardson while he is in England. Sir Frederick [Eden] will be an excellent neighbour.\nItem 6: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, [Eng.], Goose Eating Day 1800 [Michaelmas 29 Sept.]\n3 pages.

He thanks Boucher for offering to write the biographical sketch of Old Jones, but he has, after much effort, written one of his own which he will show him in manuscript. Frank [Randolph] has published some sermons. He sees from the papers that Sir F. [Frederick Eden] is Chairman of the Flour Company.

He warns Boucher not to expect great things from his letters; he bears news of him through Tom Calverley and John Richardson; Boucher has been having trouble with his agent for his property in the North; it is surprising that he has not learned from experience. He is sorry to hear that Boucher has had trouble with his assistant; he hopes that the connection with Frere may take place [probably the position was offered to one of John Frere's sons]; he is glad that Boucher takes more kindly to \"pupilizing\" and suggests that he asks Tom Hooker, who has a school at Rottingdean, for recommendations. Has Boucher noticed the Bagdon business?\nItem 2: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 31 March 1803\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/88).

Drummond's abridgment of the Guide ; and abridgement of the work, with addenda from the letters to Sir Richard Hill, would be a useful book for general circulation; he is unwilling to undertake this task himself as an author is the worst qualified to abridge his own work. The liberal ideas and smooth sentences of such modern speculatists as Dr. Paley [William Paley, D.N.B.] may be preferred to his old-fashioned writing as more accommodating.

Skinner and Dr. Gleig, and believes that will write good reviews of his book; however, he is sorry that Boucher would not undertake this task. He is sorry to hear that the Anti-Jacobin is declining and wishes he had more leisure to write for it. He has written a pamphlet to Mrs. Hannah More, whose faith, like that of Mr. Wilberforce, is Calvinism in disguise; her doctrine that Faith is necessarily productive of works is a most dangerous error, a true Child of Enthusiasm. An explanation of his reasoning on that point.\nItem 4: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.]., 23 Oct[obe]r 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/11). Sir Richard Hill is to reply to Daubeny's answer; all Calvinists are the spawn of the Scotch Covenanters and, were it in their power, would be just as intolerant; Daubeny has also been attacked by a brother clergyman. Of some parts of Mrs. More's writings he has as high an opinion as Boucher, but as she has it in her power to do so much good, he wishes her to be \"wholly with us\"; however, the difference is in expression rather than idea. He will use his influence at Winchester College [where he was a Fellow] on behalf of Boucher's son, but application for admission should be made immediately; he will find out about fees when his own boys come home for Christmas.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Jan[uary] 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/12). The fees of Winchester College have nearly doubled since his time, being 60 p.a. He has met Dr. Matthew Spens who told him that Bp. Drummond has lost a colleague [the principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh] and, wishing him to be replaced by a minister of the Church of England has written to Boucher [see also A/4a-b]; however, Bp. Watson Richard Watson, Bp. of Llandaff, D.N.B.] has written someone else a testimonial, which Daubeny considers a very poor recommendation. He and Bp. Douglas [see A/4] agree that the Anti-Jacobin is in need of assistance. He disapproves of Bp. Porteaus' [of London] support of Hannah More; the Bishop has acted very badly in another matter which Daubeny cannot explain in a letter.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [28 January 1800]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/13). He is sorry that the fees at Winchester have risen so high, and fears that this trend will lead to less learning in the Church. His Letters to Mrs. Hannah More have received very handsome reviews, but his critic, Sir Richard Hill, has appeared again and attacked both the Guide and the Appendix ; Daubeny is not eager to write another reply.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eItem 1: Charles Daubeny to [Jonathan Boucher], 27 Feb[ruar]y 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/14). He has read through Boucher's papers and returns them with his comments. The tenet that Faith is necessarily productive is very near the Calvinistic doctrine of the irresistibility of divine Grace; as long as Mrs. More continues to frequent independent chapels he will doubt her attachment to the Church of England; he gives her credit for much good done on the best principle, but not for the best judgment or the best information. When he has time, he will tell Boucher more about the Bp. of London, whom he thinks neither sound nor honest.\nItem 2: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 16 April 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears eal. (B/5/15). He has sent Boucher his comments on Sir Richard Hill's last publication; he believes he should be answered as in these times, his work may do mischief. He is also sending a sermon by a Mr. Dennis in defence of Mrs. More, who keeps a sort of school for the younger, self-confident, \"hop, step and jump\" clergy; he has reviewed it at length as it misrepresents what he wrote in his Letters to Mrs. Hannah More. He has received a letter from a Mr. Ludlam [possibly Thomas Ludlam, D.N.B., theologian and opponent of Calvinism] complimenting him on this work.\nItem 3: Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 7 Nov[embe]r 1800\n7 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/16). He believes his packet containing Mr. Dennis's sermon may not have reached Boucher; Dennis is one of those self-sufficient, forward young Divines now growing up in the Church. He has seen Boucher's handsome review of a work by the Bp. of Lincoln but doubts whether the Bishop is as orthodox and apostolical as he is represented to be.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [14 January 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/17). Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] has asked him to reply to Dr. Campbell's posthumous publication [Lectures on Ecclesiastical History] by Dr. George Campbell]; he feels that this might seem like presumption in a Church of England clergyman, and that Bp. Skinner himself is the fittest person to defend the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin has reviewed a work by Mr. Evans, who was Daubeny's curate until dismissed with disgrace.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 21 January 1801\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/18). He encloses a letter he has written at the pressing solicitation of Bp. Drummond to Lord Kinnoul who was a friend of his at Oxford; the Earl has already consulted the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject [of the Scottish Church]. Daubeny has heard once more from Mr. Jones Dennis who has sent him notice of the Churchman's Magazine which is shortly to be published.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Lord Kinnoul, Robert Auriol Hay-Drummond, 1751-1804, Earl of Kinnoull], November 1800\n8 pages. Autograph Copy Signed. (B/5/19). The Bishop is the center of Unity in his diocese and any departure from the obligation of ecclesiastical Unity is schism; English Bishops have no authority is Scotland so the claim of the clergy of the Anglican communions in Scotland to be attached to the Church of England is without foundation; they owe canonical obedience to the Scottish Bishops and any resistance is resistance to the Ordinance of God.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eItem 1: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 3 March 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears seal of Daubeny. (B/5/20). He is sending Boucher some of his sermons intended to publication as a relaxation from etymological research. The British Critic, which he had thought at least Episcopalian, is doing more harm than good to the cause of the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin Review exaggerates the value of Dr. Randolph's sermons.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 6 May 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/21). He has heard nothing from Boucher about the papers he sent him but his nephew [Joshua] Watson says he is very busy and very lazy. A new medical publication by a Dr. Haggarth is said to have been read before the library \u0026amp; Philosophical Society at Bath; such literary juntas, full of half- informed, unprincipled men, are all the fashion; this society, self-constituted at Bath, is headed by infidels and Quakers; the Treasurer is Matthews, the Quaker; Dr. Gibbes [Sir George Smith Gibbes, D.N.B.] is the secretary; Sir George Colebrooke, the President; and Sir William Watson [D.N.B.], the Vice President.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 29 May 1801\n4 pages.  Autograph Letter Signed.  (B/5/22). He is sending Boucher some further Discourses with a Preface addressed to the younger clergy mentioning Dr. Campbell's work, as Bp. Skinner suggested. Dr. Randolph merely skimmed over a great subject; the admiration of William Stevens (\"not my friend\") for him is a species of self- idolatry. If Bp. Skinner wishes to see Daubeny's letter to Lord Kinnoul, will Boucher send on his copy [B/5/19]; criticism of Dr. Campbell's book. He knows nothing of Mr. Faber, but as he is a Calvinist, their works will hardly cover the same ground.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [16 September 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/23). He is sending via Joshua Watson, a very handsome letter he received from John Bowden, D.D., Principal of the Episcopal Academy in Connecticut; he is much impressed by the sound principles and seal of both the American and the Scottish Episcopacy. He asks Boucher to help him make his Discourses fit for the press; the lengthy criticism of Dr. Campbell's works needs a more formal introduction.\nItem 5: John Bowden, Cheshire, Connecticut, to Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], 18 June 1801\nCopy of Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/24). On behalf of the Convocation of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut he thanks Daubeny for Writing his Guide to the Church . He sent for a copy on reading a review in the Anti-Jacobin , and was so impressed by it that he and his colleagues are determined that it shall be a standard book for candidates for Holy Orders. Expresses admiration and affection for England and its institutions.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eItem 1: C[harles] D[aubeny], Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 19 Nov[embe]r 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/25). His Discourses have been much improved by Boucher's revisions. He has just been sent a pamphlet by a layman attacking him as a traducer of Baxter; \"the Laity write with so much confidence on divine Subjects, that if we are to take their own word for it, the Clergy may shut up shop\"; he believes that he gave Baxter as much credit as he deserved in his Guide to the Church, in fact, he treated him generously. Lists misdeeds [in Daubeny's eyes] of [Richard] Baxter.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jona[tha]n Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 19 Mar[ch] 1802\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/26). He is sending copies of his Discourses [published under the title of Eight Discourses on the Connexion between the Old and New Testament ] to Boucher and Bps. Drummond and Skinner; he hopes that Boucher and Skinner will review it. He hoped that Bp. Skinner would have been able to visit Bath to see his church [Christ Church, Walcot] there. He has received Boucher's Prospectus [of his Glossary of Archaic and Provincial Words ] and has put his own name down and that of Winchester College Library.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 27 March 1802\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/27). He has asked Dr. Gleig to review his Discourses as Boucher has declined to do so. He believes William Stevens to be fundamentally an honest man, but his passions so run away with his judgment, that he is subject to be imposed upon by those who are not honest men. Daubeny defends Public Seminaries on a general principle, considering them to be the best security against Ignorance and Enthusiasm.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, North Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 11 July 1803\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/28). He hopes that Boucher will read through the Guide to the Church making marginal remarks, preparatory to a new edition.

He has read through the papers sent to him by Eden but does not agree with his views on education, which resemble those of Dr. Priestley; he fears they may expose the whole work to censure and so, though diffident about putting forward his own notions, he has re-written this section; Eden must decide which version to use; he has also softened the critique on Mr. Pitt. He wonders what effect Burke's pamphlet [probably Letters on a Regicide Peace] will have on the public mind; the \"speechifyings\" in Parliament have been very poor - \"this is not an age of great men.\"","J[onathan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.] to Sir F[rederick] M[orton] E[den], undated [ca. 1793?] Thurs.

He is forwarding a letter from Mr. Addison to Mr. Watson. Eden's play is not to go to Sheridan who is \"as little worthy to be trusted with a new play, as with money, or anything else\", or to Grubb, but to young Banister; Boucher is not optimistic as to its success.","J[onathan] B[oucher] to Sir Fred[erick] M[orton] Eden, undated Wed A.M.\n1 page.

(A/4/1). There is a principle of revolt in all colonies which stems from a lack of foresight in colony administration; the subduing of the rebellion in America is of secondary importance to the new-modelling of its Government. Says focus of the war should be placed on New England. Decisive action against Washington is imperative to the British cause. New York is well- disposed and would make a good base for the King's troops. Advocates control of New York from New York City to Albany to split the northern colonies from the southern. Pennsylvania has made no overt act of treason nor raised any troops; the Carolinias, Virginia and Maryland are too busy with internal problems, i.e. Indians and slaves, to seek regular troops in a hostile way; the white servants would certainly enlist with the King's troops, Baltimore and Annapolis contain many such men; trade embargos should be sufficient to deal with these colonies. Washington shows extraordinary coolness and caution but has very little personal experience; the first general action against him must be decisive.","[Rev] Jonathan Boucher, Paddington, [Eng.] to W[illia]m Eden, Undersecretary of State, 27 June 1776\nCopy; original in Public Record Office. 4 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed.

As it is difficult for a gentleman who has been used to better circumstances to learn to live on 70 p.a., he solicits Eden's good offices with Lord George [Germain] for a further supply of money. He claims no special merit for his actions in America, but others who have done less have received pensions. He would like to be commended to Lord Dartmouth, the Abp. of Canterbury and the Bps. of London and Bangor, and hopes that Eden may be able to help him to preferment in America when a settlement is reached.","W[illia]m Eden, Downing Street, [London, Eng.] to Mr. Pownall, Secretary to Board of Trade, 4 July 1776\nCopy; original in Public Record Office. 2 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed.

He has declined position of Principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh because the Scottish Anglicans refuse to render obedience to the Scottish bishops; he asks the Bishop to assist the cause of Scottish Union which he has so long supported.

He has advised Bp. Drummond, who is apt to be intemperate in his zeal, and Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] to write an address to the English Bishops, and he suggests that Douglas should write to the Episcopal Congregations of Edinburgh. The obstacle of the Abjuration Oath will soon be removed as it will doubtless be repealed on the death of the Cardinal of New York, which may be daily expected.","Item 1: [James Maury], Albemarle [Co.], [Va.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Nov. 1763\n7 pages.

Boucher need not fear to be discovered as the author, as it will recommend him to the most sensible, equitable, and honest part of the Clergy and Laity. Maury comments extensively on his regard for Boucher. Boucher should get Mr. Jackson's opinion of the work.

Patrick Henry began his political career by opposing Maury's claim for arrears in the \"Parson's Cause\".] The jury was not of persons of rank and understanding, and although the verdict was in favour of the plaintiff, only one penny damages was awarded; the Jury had been harangued by one of the Defendant's lawyers [Patrick Henry] who asserted \"that the King, by annulling and disallowing laws of so salutary a nature [the Two Penny Act of 1758], from being the Father of his people, degenerates into a tyrant and forfeits all right to his subjects' obedience;\" at which there were cries of Treason! The road to popularity here is to trample underfoot the Interests of Religion, the Rights of the Church, and the Prorogative of the Crown.","Item 1: James Maury to [Jonathan] Boucher, 7 July 1764\n4 pages.

(B/3/51). He deplores his own lack of business ability; had he and Boucher trusted G.F. [unidentified] earlier, the Richardson business need not have gone to the lawyers; he asks Boucher's help in dealing with Christopher Court. The English Freeholder is well done.

Anthony Richardson [one of the widow's sons] has written to ask Stevens' and Boucher's sanction to deliver the account current, signed by his mother, to G.F.; Stevens asks Boucher's advice as he mistrusts G.F.'s motives, and dislikes doing any business with him; Anthony hopes that the money from the crops will be sufficient to pay the interest on the debts but Stevens is not so sanguine.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], Epsom, Surry, [Eng.], 16 Aug. 1791\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/54). Anthony Richardson is eager and importunate which makes him inconsiderate; he shows want of judgement in not releasing who his best friends are. G.F. is dogmatic, overbearing \u0026 cunning; he is forever boasting of his generosity towards the Richardsons, though Stevens sees little sign of it. Christopher Court will prudently look after his own interests. Wants to avoid trouble of bringing about a meeting of creditors which is Boucher's plan. Stevens is sorry to hear that Boucher is still harassed by Lewis's securityship.","Item 1: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 25 Aug[ust] 1791\n2 pages.

He has discussed the [Monthly?] Review with Robinson who would accept articles and reviews from divines \"sound in the faith\"; the printing of the John Bull pamphlet would cost 2 per thousand copies.\nItem 6: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 24 Nov[embe]r 1792\n1 page.

Old Jones is occupied with thoughts on the Bishop's life, but seems disposed to introduce extraneous matter [ Life of Bishop Horne, pub. 1795].

Boucher has left an estate in the North. Stevens approves of the scheme for Scottish Union, but it should take place gradually. [The scheme for union between Episcopalian Church; see also A/4].\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 21 Nov[embe]r 1793\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/69). Boucher is much in favour of Scottish Union. He advises him to leave the negotiations for the scheme to Sir William Forbes [D.N.B.] who is intimate with the Archbishop. [Bp. Skinner of Aberdeen hoped to assist the scheme for Scottish Union by the appointment of Boucher as Bishop of Edinburgh; Boucher visited Edinburgh in Oct. 1793 but the idea was abandoned largely owing to opposition from the Presbyterians.]\nItem 4: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to Jonathan [Boucher], 27 Nov[ember] 1793\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/70). Canon Holcombe owes him 18 6s 8d interest.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/72). Stevens asks Boucher to write to Anthony Richardson telling him that he may draw on him [i.e. Stevens] to the amount of the bills, rather than delivering up the coffee on the island; he does this on the assumption that Tom Richardson will raise the money before the bills fall due; he is surprised that Anthony can upbraid him with not coming forward to help the family when they are already under such great obligations to him.","Item 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 15 Octo[ber] 1794\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/3/73). He has read and approved Boucher's letter to Anthony.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/75).

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/76). Stevens' landlord [his cousin, the Rector of Otham] is pleased that Boucher has him so much in remembrance. He is glad that Boucher approves \"The Life\" [Jones of Nayland's Life of Bishop Horne ] and asks him to review it for the Critical Review. Stevens has received some money for Boucher on Mrs. Chandler's account. If Dr.. Vyse and Dr. Benson, both of whom are ill, should die, the Archbishop will have some livings to dispose of.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Aug[us]t 1796\n2 pages Autograph Letter Signed.

(B/3/78). However Miller Southgate may like the principles of Boucher's book, what will he think of his practices? He will probably expect to see a calf's head on the table at dinner.\nItem 2: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 5 Sept. 1798\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/79). He and Boucher are both wanderers, but Boucher prefers mountains. Boucher's work [A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution] has been well received by Lord Kenyon and the Archbishop of York. As he was \"struck out of the Privy Council\" after giving his opinion against accepting a mitre in the Scottish church, he had not heard that Boucher had taken a house at Carlisle and does not think it signifies anything whether he approves or not.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 18 Oct[ober] 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/80). He hopes that he will soon be able to talk to Boucher instead of writing to him. Boucher has had a misunderstanding over terms of printing with George Robinson.","Item 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 16 Jan[uary] 1800\n1 page Autograph Letter Signed.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/82). He thanks Boucher for his information about \"Scots lords and German bears.\" Boucher takes too gloomy a view of his hopes and prospects; against his failure in his hopes of a Scottish Bishopric and the prospect of three pupils may be weighed the fortune bequeathed by Miss Barton [see B/3/11] and the thousands obtained with Miss Foreman [Boucher's second wife, whose fortune was 14,000]. The Rector of Otham [William Horne] sends his best respects and suggests Boucher try and live quiet and happy.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 26 April, 1800\n1 page Autograph Letter Signed.

He wishes him a successful journey.\nItem 4: William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan [Boucher], 4 June 1800\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/84). He is convinced by Sir William Forbes' letter that the Archbishop [of Canterbury] was right in what he said to Lord Kinnoull and it is not his fault that the measure failed that Boucher wished to succeed. Prince and Gifford [John Gifford; D.N.B.] deserve to have their bones broken for what was written about Stevens' in the Anti-Jacobin . He feels that the writing of a life of Old Jones is beyond his powers.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Farmborough, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, Sussex, [Eng.], 15 Aug[ust] 1800\n3 pages Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/85). Boucher's strict system of economy has been so ruinous that Stevens is determined to renounce economy altogether. He gives Boucher information about Mr. Post, a Gentleman of the law, for whom he has no high regard; Post has told Boucher that marriages have diminished, so Stevens was comforted for the future of the world when he found that bastardy increased in the same proportion. Boucher need not fear to be thought a Low Churchman and may sit on the right hand of Nobody at the next meeting [Nobody's club, founded in Stevens' honour in 1800, was known for its High Church principles]; but how can he think Lord Kinnoull a sensible honest man when he is no better than a Presbyterian? He hopes Boucher will see Anthony Richardson while he is in England. Sir Frederick [Eden] will be an excellent neighbour.\nItem 6: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, [Eng.], Goose Eating Day 1800 [Michaelmas 29 Sept.]\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/86). He contrasts his own apathy with Boucher's energy. He thanks Boucher for offering to write the biographical sketch of Old Jones, but he has, after much effort, written one of his own which he will show him in manuscript. Frank [Randolph] has published some sermons. He sees from the papers that Sir F. [Frederick Eden] is Chairman of the Flour Company. One of Stevens' brother-auditors has just died so he is now senior auditor. The Rector [of Otham] has made 400 from hops, the young Squire about 4000.","Item 1: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to Jon[athan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 1 Sept. 1801\n3 pages. Autograph Letter. (B/3/87). He warns Boucher not to expect great things from his letters; he bears news of him through Tom Calverley and John Richardson; Boucher has been having trouble with his agent for his property in the North; it is surprising that he has not learned from experience. He is sorry to hear that Boucher has had trouble with his assistant; he hopes that the connection with Frere may take place [probably the position was offered to one of John Frere's sons]; he is glad that Boucher takes more kindly to \"pupilizing\" and suggests that he asks Tom Hooker, who has a school at Rottingdean, for recommendations. Has Boucher noticed the Bagdon business?\nItem 2: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 31 March 1803\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/88).

He has made inquiries about Washington's letters; they are very well written (though he has heard Boucher say that Washington is no great clerk) but he believes them to be authentic as the sentiments expressed are in keeping with Boucher's account of him.","Item 1: Sir] Frederick Morton Eden, Ch[rist] Ch[urch], Oxford, [Eng], to Jon[athan] Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 8 Nov. 1786\n2 pages.

Hopes to come to Epsom soon.\nItem 2: [Sir] Frederick Morton Eden, Lambeth Palace, [Eng], to [Jonathan Boucher], 18 May 1787\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/4/2). He cannot visit Boucher next week as Mrs. Moore [the Archbishop's wife, and Eden's aunt] has promised him a seat in the Prebend's Box, for the Abbey Commemoration.  He hopes, however, to see Boucher at the end of the month and will be happy to be introduced to Mrs. Boucher.\nItem 3: [Sir] Frederick Morton Eden, Lambeth Palace, [Eng], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 18 June 1787\n3 pages.

The Loyalists are still waiting for some compensation from the Government; he is less hopeful than his mother. He sends a curious inscription which he found on a gravestone in Kent.\nItem 5: [Sir] F[rederick] M[orton] E[den], to Jon[athan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [postmark 21 July 1791]\n1 page.

He has read Lucien Bonaparte's speech of 14 July and finds it a most eloquent invective against Revolutions. Its purpose, Anglice, is \"keep my Brother, the First Consul, as long as you can\"; but he does not agree with his Eulogium on the theft of treasures from the Pope.\nItem 6: [Sir] F[rederick M[orton] E[den], W[orthing], [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, [Eng.]4 Aug. 1800\n1 page.

He has received Boucher's valuable and interesting publication [his American sermons] from Mr. Watson [Joshua Watson; D.N.B.; wine merchant and philanthropist; married to Daubeny's niece]; he sees in this country the principles which led to the American Revolution. In an article on his Guide to the Church, the Analytical Review calls him, Boucher and Horsley [Samuel Horsley, later Bp. of St. Asaph; D.N.B.] the Lauds of the present day.

Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/2). He asks Boucher how to direct a letter to the Rt. Rev. W.A. Drummond at Hawthorndon [William Abernethy Drummond, Bp. of Edinburgh]; the Bishop believes his Guide to the Church may do some good in Scotland and wishes to have it abridged there. Daubeny would like Boucher's opinion of Sir Richard Hill's \"farrago\" as he intends to answer it [Sir Richard Hill; D.N.B.; supporter of Calvinistic Methodism, attacked Daubeny's Guide, and carried on a long controversy with him by pamphlets]. The work of churchmen is usually to go over old ground.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Mr. [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 28 Dec[embe]r 1798\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed.

Drummond's abridgment of the Guide ; and abridgement of the work, with addenda from the letters to Sir Richard Hill, would be a useful book for general circulation; he is unwilling to undertake this task himself as an author is the worst qualified to abridge his own work. The liberal ideas and smooth sentences of such modern speculatists as Dr. Paley [William Paley, D.N.B.] may be preferred to his old-fashioned writing as more accommodating. He sent a copy of the Guide to the Archbishop of Canterbury but he did not acknowledge it.\nItem 8: Suggested title page for Daubeny's Letters to Sir Richard Hill [which were published under the title An Appendix to the Guide to the Church], undated\nWrapper of (B/5/7a). 1 page.

He is revising the last part of his work, incorporating many of Boucher's suggestions; he hopes it may be better received than the Guide which had a very poor review in the British Critic; his friend, the author of Reform or Ruin, [John Bowdler], does not wish to undertake a review; Daubeny considers Boucher the fittest person to do this.  He commends the sound  constitutional principles of the Anti-Jacobin; his abilities are at the service of the editor [John Gifford, D.N.B.]; he considers \"that schismatic courier\", The Gospel Magazine, a danger to the Constitution.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N. Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.]., 16 July 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/9). He has directed Hatchard [John Hatchard, D.N.B., publisher] to keep six copies of the book for Boucher to distribute to his friends at Shrewsbury, Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] and his father, and the Rev. Dr. Glegg [sic: George Gleig, D.N.B., later Bp. of Brechin]. He hopes his book has aided the cause of the church. Thanks Boucher for his revisions.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Trowbridge], [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 24 Sept[ember] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/10). He has received strong and decided letters from Bp. Skinner and Dr. Gleig, and believes that will write good reviews of his book; however, he is sorry that Boucher would not undertake this task. He is sorry to hear that the Anti-Jacobin is declining and wishes he had more leisure to write for it. He has written a pamphlet to Mrs. Hannah More, whose faith, like that of Mr. Wilberforce, is Calvinism in disguise; her doctrine that Faith is necessarily productive of works is a most dangerous error, a true Child of Enthusiasm. An explanation of his reasoning on that point.\nItem 4: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.]., 23 Oct[obe]r 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/11). Sir Richard Hill is to reply to Daubeny's answer; all Calvinists are the spawn of the Scotch Covenanters and, were it in their power, would be just as intolerant; Daubeny has also been attacked by a brother clergyman. Of some parts of Mrs. More's writings he has as high an opinion as Boucher, but as she has it in her power to do so much good, he wishes her to be \"wholly with us\"; however, the difference is in expression rather than idea. He will use his influence at Winchester College [where he was a Fellow] on behalf of Boucher's son, but application for admission should be made immediately; he will find out about fees when his own boys come home for Christmas.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Jan[uary] 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/12). The fees of Winchester College have nearly doubled since his time, being 60 p.a. He has met Dr. Matthew Spens who told him that Bp. Drummond has lost a colleague [the principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh] and, wishing him to be replaced by a minister of the Church of England has written to Boucher [see also A/4a-b]; however, Bp. Watson Richard Watson, Bp. of Llandaff, D.N.B.] has written someone else a testimonial, which Daubeny considers a very poor recommendation. He and Bp. Douglas [see A/4] agree that the Anti-Jacobin is in need of assistance. He disapproves of Bp. Porteaus' [of London] support of Hannah More; the Bishop has acted very badly in another matter which Daubeny cannot explain in a letter.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [28 January 1800]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/13). He is sorry that the fees at Winchester have risen so high, and fears that this trend will lead to less learning in the Church. His Letters to Mrs. Hannah More have received very handsome reviews, but his critic, Sir Richard Hill, has appeared again and attacked both the Guide and the Appendix ; Daubeny is not eager to write another reply.","Item 1: Charles Daubeny to [Jonathan Boucher], 27 Feb[ruar]y 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/14). He has read through Boucher's papers and returns them with his comments. The tenet that Faith is necessarily productive is very near the Calvinistic doctrine of the irresistibility of divine Grace; as long as Mrs. More continues to frequent independent chapels he will doubt her attachment to the Church of England; he gives her credit for much good done on the best principle, but not for the best judgment or the best information. When he has time, he will tell Boucher more about the Bp. of London, whom he thinks neither sound nor honest.\nItem 2: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 16 April 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears eal. (B/5/15). He has sent Boucher his comments on Sir Richard Hill's last publication; he believes he should be answered as in these times, his work may do mischief. He is also sending a sermon by a Mr. Dennis in defence of Mrs. More, who keeps a sort of school for the younger, self-confident, \"hop, step and jump\" clergy; he has reviewed it at length as it misrepresents what he wrote in his Letters to Mrs. Hannah More. He has received a letter from a Mr. Ludlam [possibly Thomas Ludlam, D.N.B., theologian and opponent of Calvinism] complimenting him on this work.\nItem 3: Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 7 Nov[embe]r 1800\n7 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/16). He believes his packet containing Mr. Dennis's sermon may not have reached Boucher; Dennis is one of those self-sufficient, forward young Divines now growing up in the Church. He has seen Boucher's handsome review of a work by the Bp. of Lincoln but doubts whether the Bishop is as orthodox and apostolical as he is represented to be.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [14 January 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/17). Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] has asked him to reply to Dr. Campbell's posthumous publication [Lectures on Ecclesiastical History] by Dr. George Campbell]; he feels that this might seem like presumption in a Church of England clergyman, and that Bp. Skinner himself is the fittest person to defend the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin has reviewed a work by Mr. Evans, who was Daubeny's curate until dismissed with disgrace.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 21 January 1801\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/18). He encloses a letter he has written at the pressing solicitation of Bp. Drummond to Lord Kinnoul who was a friend of his at Oxford; the Earl has already consulted the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject [of the Scottish Church]. Daubeny has heard once more from Mr. Jones Dennis who has sent him notice of the Churchman's Magazine which is shortly to be published.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Lord Kinnoul, Robert Auriol Hay-Drummond, 1751-1804, Earl of Kinnoull], November 1800\n8 pages. Autograph Copy Signed. (B/5/19). The Bishop is the center of Unity in his diocese and any departure from the obligation of ecclesiastical Unity is schism; English Bishops have no authority is Scotland so the claim of the clergy of the Anglican communions in Scotland to be attached to the Church of England is without foundation; they owe canonical obedience to the Scottish Bishops and any resistance is resistance to the Ordinance of God.","Item 1: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 3 March 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears seal of Daubeny. (B/5/20). He is sending Boucher some of his sermons intended to publication as a relaxation from etymological research. The British Critic, which he had thought at least Episcopalian, is doing more harm than good to the cause of the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin Review exaggerates the value of Dr. Randolph's sermons.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 6 May 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/21). He has heard nothing from Boucher about the papers he sent him but his nephew [Joshua] Watson says he is very busy and very lazy. A new medical publication by a Dr. Haggarth is said to have been read before the library \u0026 Philosophical Society at Bath; such literary juntas, full of half- informed, unprincipled men, are all the fashion; this society, self-constituted at Bath, is headed by infidels and Quakers; the Treasurer is Matthews, the Quaker; Dr. Gibbes [Sir George Smith Gibbes, D.N.B.] is the secretary; Sir George Colebrooke, the President; and Sir William Watson [D.N.B.], the Vice President.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 29 May 1801\n4 pages.  Autograph Letter Signed.  (B/5/22). He is sending Boucher some further Discourses with a Preface addressed to the younger clergy mentioning Dr. Campbell's work, as Bp. Skinner suggested. Dr. Randolph merely skimmed over a great subject; the admiration of William Stevens (\"not my friend\") for him is a species of self- idolatry. If Bp. Skinner wishes to see Daubeny's letter to Lord Kinnoul, will Boucher send on his copy [B/5/19]; criticism of Dr. Campbell's book. He knows nothing of Mr. Faber, but as he is a Calvinist, their works will hardly cover the same ground.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [16 September 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/23). He is sending via Joshua Watson, a very handsome letter he received from John Bowden, D.D., Principal of the Episcopal Academy in Connecticut; he is much impressed by the sound principles and seal of both the American and the Scottish Episcopacy. He asks Boucher to help him make his Discourses fit for the press; the lengthy criticism of Dr. Campbell's works needs a more formal introduction.\nItem 5: John Bowden, Cheshire, Connecticut, to Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], 18 June 1801\nCopy of Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/24). On behalf of the Convocation of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut he thanks Daubeny for Writing his Guide to the Church . He sent for a copy on reading a review in the Anti-Jacobin , and was so impressed by it that he and his colleagues are determined that it shall be a standard book for candidates for Holy Orders. Expresses admiration and affection for England and its institutions.","Item 1: C[harles] D[aubeny], Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 19 Nov[embe]r 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/25). His Discourses have been much improved by Boucher's revisions. He has just been sent a pamphlet by a layman attacking him as a traducer of Baxter; \"the Laity write with so much confidence on divine Subjects, that if we are to take their own word for it, the Clergy may shut up shop\"; he believes that he gave Baxter as much credit as he deserved in his Guide to the Church, in fact, he treated him generously. Lists misdeeds [in Daubeny's eyes] of [Richard] Baxter.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jona[tha]n Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 19 Mar[ch] 1802\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/26). He is sending copies of his Discourses [published under the title of Eight Discourses on the Connexion between the Old and New Testament ] to Boucher and Bps. Drummond and Skinner; he hopes that Boucher and Skinner will review it. He hoped that Bp. Skinner would have been able to visit Bath to see his church [Christ Church, Walcot] there. He has received Boucher's Prospectus [of his Glossary of Archaic and Provincial Words ] and has put his own name down and that of Winchester College Library.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 27 March 1802\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/27). He has asked Dr. Gleig to review his Discourses as Boucher has declined to do so. He believes William Stevens to be fundamentally an honest man, but his passions so run away with his judgment, that he is subject to be imposed upon by those who are not honest men. Daubeny defends Public Seminaries on a general principle, considering them to be the best security against Ignorance and Enthusiasm.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, North Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 11 July 1803\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/28). He hopes that Boucher will read through the Guide to the Church making marginal remarks, preparatory to a new edition. He refers to the prospect of a stall at Durham for Boucher. Exhorts Boucher to spend his time in defense of the church.","W[illia]m Cobbett, Philadelphia, [Pa.], to Jona[tha]n Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 11 July 1803\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Thanks for JB's book; attitudes to the American Revolution; no possibility of an edition of JB's work selling in America; WC's attachment to England.","[Jonathan] Boucher, Port Royal, Virginia, to [John] James, at St. Bees, near Whitehaven, England., 7 Aug[ust] 1759\nReflections on tedious voyage and on American society; condemns levity and bad language of Americans.  The countryside of Virginia and the dress of the colonists.  Plans to start a school may turn out better than expected, though he has heard of few pupils yet.  The James' child and a visit by the commissary.  "," [Jonathan] Boucher, Port Royal, Virginia to [John] James, at St. Bees near Whitehaven, Cumberland [Co.] England., 14 [Septem]ber 1759\nAmericans have no notion of the Art of letter writing to preserve friendship.

Maury is seriously ill.  Disturbance over the terrible Stamp Act which is \"oppressive, impolitic and illegal;\" Parliament has not right to impose it upon us; he also grieves at Government's policy in India.  Asks James to help him find an usher, though his school is still in rather a precarious position.  Expresses sorrow at the death of his elder brother and wishes to know if he succeeds to the Blencogo estate.  Now has respect for Americans and does not intend to settle in England again. Reason for declining grammar master place at William and Mary.  ","Jona[tha]n Boucher, Virg[ini]a to [John] James, at St. Bees, near Whitehaven, [Eng.]., 18 June 1766\nThanks him for his letter and makes renewed professions of friendship.  Wishes to resign from irksome employment of teaching; if it were possible, he would like to settle in Cumberland, for which he feels a special attachment.  Correspondent in Glasgow has sent him two parcels of books. His brother's widow has recommended her unborn child to his care and he asks James to help him with this charge.  Sends a cask of snake root.","[Jonathan] Boucher, St. Mary's [Parish], Caroline [County, Va.] to [Rev. John James, Whitehaven, Eng.]., 9 March 1767\nHis return to England is not yet likely; his school is flourishing with 17 boys at £20 p.a. for board and education.  Contrasts situation and methods of presentment of the clergy in Virginia and Maryland in favour of the latter, but hopes of preferment there have been spoiled by arrival of Rev.

He would like to buy a living in England and could raise £1000.  Asks James to look for a curate for Mr. Addison and an usher for his own school.  Sends thanks to Mr. Denon for his letter of recommendation.","Jonathan Boucher, London, [Eng.] to [John James]., 7 Jan[uary] 1776\nHe believes that the present troubles in America are due less to the Stamp Act and Duties on tea than to a \"principle of revolt innate in all colonies\"; the British constitution is not well adapted to the ruling of colonies, but as colonies are so important to Britain, she should profit by past errors; any accommodation reached must be of a permanent nature; American institutions cherish Republicanism but various English men from Chatham to Priestly have helped kindle this flame; in America, members of the Church of England, particularly the clergy, have remained loyal in spite of persecution. ","[Jonathan Boucher], London, [Eng.] to [John James], 8 Jan[ua]ry 1776\nHe regrets leaving America, but he could not have remained there with safety; his friend the Governor of Maryland has written to recommend him to the Earl of Dartmouth, the Bishop of London, his brother-in-law the Bishop of Bangor [John Moore 1730-1805], and his brother the Under Secretary of State [William Eden, 1st Lord Auckland 1744-1814]. Boucher has discussed America with Lord George Germain, the new American Secretary. The large numbers of American refugees make it difficult to obtain preferment, but Dr. Cooper [see B/2] has given up his curacy of Paddington, worth 70 p.a. to Boucher; Boucher has left lands and slaves in America worth 5000 and has brought only L200 with him; he will find it difficult to support the orphans at Blencogo [possibly Kitty and Betty Strange who appear in later letters as protegees of Boucher].

Autograph Letter Signed. (A/2/3). Joe Messenger of Park Gate, near Wigton, has bought some letters from home for Tickell.

He has read through the papers sent to him by Eden but does not agree with his views on education, which resemble those of Dr. Priestley; he fears they may expose the whole work to censure and so, though diffident about putting forward his own notions, he has re-written this section; Eden must decide which version to use; he has also softened the critique on Mr. Pitt.

He is forwarding a letter from Mr. Addison to Mr. Watson. Eden's play is not to go to Sheridan who is \"as little worthy to be trusted with a new play, as with money, or anything else\", or to Grubb, but to young Banister; Boucher is not optimistic as to its success.","J[onathan] B[oucher] to Sir Fred[erick] M[orton] Eden, undated Wed A.M.\n1 page.

(A/4/1). There is a principle of revolt in all colonies which stems from a lack of foresight in colony administration; the subduing of the rebellion in America is of secondary importance to the new-modelling of its Government. Says focus of the war should be placed on New England. Decisive action against Washington is imperative to the British cause. New York is well- disposed and would make a good base for the King's troops. Advocates control of New York from New York City to Albany to split the northern colonies from the southern. Pennsylvania has made no overt act of treason nor raised any troops; the Carolinias, Virginia and Maryland are too busy with internal problems, i.e. Indians and slaves, to seek regular troops in a hostile way; the white servants would certainly enlist with the King's troops, Baltimore and Annapolis contain many such men; trade embargos should be sufficient to deal with these colonies. Washington shows extraordinary coolness and caution but has very little personal experience; the first general action against him must be decisive.","[Rev] Jonathan Boucher, Paddington, [Eng.] to W[illia]m Eden, Undersecretary of State, 27 June 1776\nCopy; original in Public Record Office. 4 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed. (A/4/2a). As it is difficult for a gentleman who has been used to better circumstances to learn to live on 70 p.a., he solicits Eden's good offices with Lord George [Germain] for a further supply of money. He claims no special merit for his actions in America, but others who have done less have received pensions. He would like to be commended to Lord Dartmouth, the Abp. of Canterbury and the Bps. of London and Bangor, and hopes that Eden may be able to help him to preferment in America when a settlement is reached.","W[illia]m Eden, Downing Street, [London, Eng.] to Mr. Pownall, Secretary to Board of Trade, 4 July 1776\nCopy; original in Public Record Office. 2 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed.

Copy of Autograph Letter Signed. (A/4a). He has declined position of Principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh because the Scottish Anglicans refuse to render obedience to the Scottish bishops; he asks the Bishop to assist the cause of Scottish Union which he has so long supported. Edinburgh is captivated with popular preaching; even Bp. Abernethy Drummond stipulates that the English assistant he requires must be a good preacher. Cautioned Bp. Drummond to be cautious in his choice because his mitre might well come down to his chosen person.","Item 2: Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.] to Dr. John Douglas, Bishop of Salisbury, London, [Eng.], 26 Feb. 1800\nCopy; original in British Museum, Egerton MSS. 2186 f. 112. 5 pp. Copy of Autograph Letter Signed. (A/4b). He does not expect Douglas, in his present state of health, to play any active part in promoting Scottish Union, but he might certainly use his influence to remove prejudice. He has advised Bp. Drummond, who is apt to be intemperate in his zeal, and Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] to write an address to the English Bishops, and he suggests that Douglas should write to the Episcopal Congregations of Edinburgh. The obstacle of the Abjuration Oath will soon be removed as it will doubtless be repealed on the death of the Cardinal of New York, which may be daily expected.","Item 1: [James Maury], Albemarle [Co.], [Va.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Nov. 1763\n7 pages.

Boucher need not fear to be discovered as the author, as it will recommend him to the most sensible, equitable, and honest part of the Clergy and Laity. Maury comments extensively on his regard for Boucher. Boucher should get Mr. Jackson's opinion of the work. Tickell is to accompany Maury to Hanover Court where his case is to be heard.\nItem 2: Narrative of the determination of a suit between the Minister of Fredericksville, plaintiff, and the collectors of the said parish, defendants, for arrears of salary, in Hanover Court, November and December 1763 n.d.

[In 1760, the Crown had disallowed an Act passed by the Virginia Assembly to prevent clergy of the Established Church, whose salaries had hitherto been calculated in tobacco, from profiting by a heavy rise in its price. Patrick Henry began his political career by opposing Maury's claim for arrears in the \"Parson's Cause\".] The jury was not of persons of rank and understanding, and although the verdict was in favour of the plaintiff, only one penny damages was awarded; the Jury had been harangued by one of the Defendant's lawyers [Patrick Henry] who asserted \"that the King, by annulling and disallowing laws of so salutary a nature [the Two Penny Act of 1758], from being the Father of his people, degenerates into a tyrant and forfeits all right to his subjects' obedience;\" at which there were cries of Treason! The road to popularity here is to trample underfoot the Interests of Religion, the Rights of the Church, and the Prorogative of the Crown.","Item 1: James Maury to [Jonathan] Boucher, 7 July 1764\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/1/4). He apologizes for not having written since he had the pleasure of seeing Boucher. The death of Mr. [Robert] Jackson is their common loss.

As an administrator, Boucher should know that, shortly before his death, Tickell sold a quantity of rum to Mr. Lewis, one half of which Maury bought; he paid Lewis, so Lewis should have settled for the whole. Maury asks Boucher to bid for Clarke's Sermons at the sale of Tickell's books. He is not optimistic about his chances of being appointed to Trinity Parish [?Louisa County - Tickell parish].\nItem 3: [James Maury] to [Jonathan] Boucher, Caroline [Co., Va.], 19 Dec. 1768\n2 pages.

Signed with monogram. (B/3/69). Boucher is much in favour of Scottish Union. He advises him to leave the negotiations for the scheme to Sir William Forbes [D.N.B.] who is intimate with the Archbishop. [Bp.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/72). Stevens asks Boucher to write to Anthony Richardson telling him that he may draw on him [i.e. Stevens] to the amount of the bills, rather than delivering up the coffee on the island; he does this on the assumption that Tom Richardson will raise the money before the bills fall due; he is surprised that Anthony can upbraid him with not coming forward to help the family when they are already under such great obligations to him.","Item 1: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 15 Octo[ber] 1794\n1 page.

Signed with monogram. (B/3/79). He and Boucher are both wanderers, but Boucher prefers mountains. Boucher's work [A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution] has been well received by Lord Kenyon and the Archbishop of York. As he was \"struck out of the Privy Council\" after giving his opinion against accepting a mitre in the Scottish church, he had not heard that Boucher had taken a house at Carlisle and does not think it signifies anything whether he approves or not.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 18 Oct[ober] 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/80). He hopes that he will soon be able to talk to Boucher instead of writing to him.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/82). He thanks Boucher for his information about \"Scots lords and German bears.\" Boucher takes too gloomy a view of his hopes and prospects; against his failure in his hopes of a Scottish Bishopric and the prospect of three pupils may be weighed the fortune bequeathed by Miss Barton [see B/3/11] and the thousands obtained with Miss Foreman [Boucher's second wife, whose fortune was 14,000]. The Rector of Otham [William Horne] sends his best respects and suggests Boucher try and live quiet and happy.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 26 April, 1800\n1 page Autograph Letter Signed.

He is convinced by Sir William Forbes' letter that the Archbishop [of Canterbury] was right in what he said to Lord Kinnoull and it is not his fault that the measure failed that Boucher wished to succeed. Prince and Gifford [John Gifford; D.N.B.] deserve to have their bones broken for what was written about Stevens' in the Anti-Jacobin . He feels that the writing of a life of Old Jones is beyond his powers.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Farmborough, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, Sussex, [Eng.], 15 Aug[ust] 1800\n3 pages Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/85). Boucher's strict system of economy has been so ruinous that Stevens is determined to renounce economy altogether. He gives Boucher information about Mr. Post, a Gentleman of the law, for whom he has no high regard; Post has told Boucher that marriages have diminished, so Stevens was comforted for the future of the world when he found that bastardy increased in the same proportion. Boucher need not fear to be thought a Low Churchman and may sit on the right hand of Nobody at the next meeting [Nobody's club, founded in Stevens' honour in 1800, was known for its High Church principles]; but how can he think Lord Kinnoull a sensible honest man when he is no better than a Presbyterian? He hopes Boucher will see Anthony Richardson while he is in England. Sir Frederick [Eden] will be an excellent neighbour.\nItem 6: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, [Eng.], Goose Eating Day 1800 [Michaelmas 29 Sept.]\n3 pages.

Autograph Letter. (B/3/87). He warns Boucher not to expect great things from his letters; he bears news of him through Tom Calverley and John Richardson; Boucher has been having trouble with his agent for his property in the North; it is surprising that he has not learned from experience. He is sorry to hear that Boucher has had trouble with his assistant; he hopes that the connection with Frere may take place [probably the position was offered to one of John Frere's sons]; he is glad that Boucher takes more kindly to \"pupilizing\" and suggests that he asks Tom Hooker, who has a school at Rottingdean, for recommendations. Has Boucher noticed the Bagdon business?\nItem 2: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 31 March 1803\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/88).

He has read Lucien Bonaparte's speech of 14 July and finds it a most eloquent invective against Revolutions.

He has received Boucher's valuable and interesting publication [his American sermons] from Mr. Watson [Joshua Watson; D.N.B.; wine merchant and philanthropist; married to Daubeny's niece]; he sees in this country the principles which led to the American Revolution. In an article on his Guide to the Church, the Analytical Review calls him, Boucher and Horsley [Samuel Horsley, later Bp. of St. Asaph; D.N.B.] the Lauds of the present day.

Drummond at Hawthorndon [William Abernethy Drummond, Bp. of Edinburgh]; the Bishop believes his Guide to the Church may do some good in Scotland and wishes to have it abridged there. Daubeny would like Boucher's opinion of Sir Richard Hill's \"farrago\" as he intends to answer it [Sir Richard Hill; D.N.B.; supporter of Calvinistic Methodism, attacked Daubeny's Guide, and carried on a long controversy with him by pamphlets].

(B/5/3). He apologizes for not acknowledging earlier sermons Boucher sent him, but he has been much occupied with his new church at Bath [Christ Church, Walcot] and with his reply to Sir Richard Hill, which Boucher advised him to write; he would like him to read the first part of this work; Mr. William Stevens has written to tell him that Mr. Jones [of Nayland] is thinking of replying to Sir Richard. He asks whether Boucher has heard from his friend, the Scotch Bishop [of Edinburgh], how the abridgement of the Guide to the Church is progressing.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 8 Jan[uar]y 1799\n3 pages.

Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/5). He has received his packet of papers and Boucher's notes upon them and is sending him another packet which he should keep until the remaining part of the publication comes before him; he would like Boucher's opinion on the scope of the work, particularly on the subjects of Calvinism, Church Unity and Schism.\nItem 6: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Feb[ruar]y 1799\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/6). He is sending Boucher the final part of his work which has already been corrected by Mr. Bowdler, [John Bowdler, D.N.B.]; although he wishes everything harsh-sounding to be cut out of the work, he thinks that Bowdler has carried this a little too far, and would welcome Boucher's opinion on those corrections; Boucher can expect no other reward than the satisfaction of supporting the Cause of the Church.\nItem 7: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, No. 8 Cresent, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher, 18 Mar[ch] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/7a). The first part of his work is in the press, and he asks Boucher to return any part of the remainder with which he has finished. He asks if Boucher has seen Bp. Drummond's abridgment of the Guide ; and abridgement of the work, with addenda from the letters to Sir Richard Hill, would be a useful book for general circulation; he is unwilling to undertake this task himself as an author is the worst qualified to abridge his own work. The liberal ideas and smooth sentences of such modern speculatists as Dr. Paley [William Paley, D.N.B.] may be preferred to his old-fashioned writing as more accommodating. He sent a copy of the Guide to the Archbishop of Canterbury but he did not acknowledge it.\nItem 8: Suggested title page for Daubeny's Letters to Sir Richard Hill [which were published under the title An Appendix to the Guide to the Church], undated\nWrapper of (B/5/7a). 1 page.

He is revising the last part of his work, incorporating many of Boucher's suggestions; he hopes it may be better received than the Guide which had a very poor review in the British Critic; his friend, the author of Reform or Ruin, [John Bowdler], does not wish to undertake a review; Daubeny considers Boucher the fittest person to do this.  He commends the sound  constitutional principles of the Anti-Jacobin; his abilities are at the service of the editor [John Gifford, D.N.B.]; he considers \"that schismatic courier\", The Gospel Magazine, a danger to the Constitution.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N. Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.]., 16 July 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/9). He has directed Hatchard [John Hatchard, D.N.B., publisher] to keep six copies of the book for Boucher to distribute to his friends at Shrewsbury, Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] and his father, and the Rev. Dr. Glegg [sic: George Gleig, D.N.B., later Bp. of Brechin]. He hopes his book has aided the cause of the church. Thanks Boucher for his revisions.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Trowbridge], [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 24 Sept[ember] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/10). He has received strong and decided letters from Bp. Skinner and Dr. Gleig, and believes that will write good reviews of his book; however, he is sorry that Boucher would not undertake this task. He is sorry to hear that the Anti-Jacobin is declining and wishes he had more leisure to write for it. He has written a pamphlet to Mrs. Hannah More, whose faith, like that of Mr. Wilberforce, is Calvinism in disguise; her doctrine that Faith is necessarily productive of works is a most dangerous error, a true Child of Enthusiasm. An explanation of his reasoning on that point.\nItem 4: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.]., 23 Oct[obe]r 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/11). Sir Richard Hill is to reply to Daubeny's answer; all Calvinists are the spawn of the Scotch Covenanters and, were it in their power, would be just as intolerant; Daubeny has also been attacked by a brother clergyman. Of some parts of Mrs. More's writings he has as high an opinion as Boucher, but as she has it in her power to do so much good, he wishes her to be \"wholly with us\"; however, the difference is in expression rather than idea. He will use his influence at Winchester College [where he was a Fellow] on behalf of Boucher's son, but application for admission should be made immediately; he will find out about fees when his own boys come home for Christmas.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Jan[uary] 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/12). The fees of Winchester College have nearly doubled since his time, being 60 p.a. He has met Dr. Matthew Spens who told him that Bp. Drummond has lost a colleague [the principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh] and, wishing him to be replaced by a minister of the Church of England has written to Boucher [see also A/4a-b]; however, Bp. Watson Richard Watson, Bp. of Llandaff, D.N.B.] has written someone else a testimonial, which Daubeny considers a very poor recommendation. He and Bp. Douglas [see A/4] agree that the Anti-Jacobin is in need of assistance. He disapproves of Bp. Porteaus' [of London] support of Hannah More; the Bishop has acted very badly in another matter which Daubeny cannot explain in a letter.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [28 January 1800]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/13). He is sorry that the fees at Winchester have risen so high, and fears that this trend will lead to less learning in the Church. His Letters to Mrs. Hannah More have received very handsome reviews, but his critic, Sir Richard Hill, has appeared again and attacked both the Guide and the Appendix ; Daubeny is not eager to write another reply.","Item 1: Charles Daubeny to [Jonathan Boucher], 27 Feb[ruar]y 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/14). He has read through Boucher's papers and returns them with his comments. The tenet that Faith is necessarily productive is very near the Calvinistic doctrine of the irresistibility of divine Grace; as long as Mrs. More continues to frequent independent chapels he will doubt her attachment to the Church of England; he gives her credit for much good done on the best principle, but not for the best judgment or the best information. When he has time, he will tell Boucher more about the Bp. of London, whom he thinks neither sound nor honest.\nItem 2: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 16 April 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears eal. (B/5/15). He has sent Boucher his comments on Sir Richard Hill's last publication; he believes he should be answered as in these times, his work may do mischief. He is also sending a sermon by a Mr. Dennis in defence of Mrs. More, who keeps a sort of school for the younger, self-confident, \"hop, step and jump\" clergy; he has reviewed it at length as it misrepresents what he wrote in his Letters to Mrs. Hannah More. He has received a letter from a Mr. Ludlam [possibly Thomas Ludlam, D.N.B., theologian and opponent of Calvinism] complimenting him on this work.\nItem 3: Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 7 Nov[embe]r 1800\n7 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/16). He believes his packet containing Mr. Dennis's sermon may not have reached Boucher; Dennis is one of those self-sufficient, forward young Divines now growing up in the Church. He has seen Boucher's handsome review of a work by the Bp. of Lincoln but doubts whether the Bishop is as orthodox and apostolical as he is represented to be.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [14 January 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/17). Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] has asked him to reply to Dr. Campbell's posthumous publication [Lectures on Ecclesiastical History] by Dr. George Campbell]; he feels that this might seem like presumption in a Church of England clergyman, and that Bp. Skinner himself is the fittest person to defend the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin has reviewed a work by Mr. Evans, who was Daubeny's curate until dismissed with disgrace.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 21 January 1801\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/18). He encloses a letter he has written at the pressing solicitation of Bp. Drummond to Lord Kinnoul who was a friend of his at Oxford; the Earl has already consulted the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject [of the Scottish Church]. Daubeny has heard once more from Mr. Jones Dennis who has sent him notice of the Churchman's Magazine which is shortly to be published.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Lord Kinnoul, Robert Auriol Hay-Drummond, 1751-1804, Earl of Kinnoull], November 1800\n8 pages. Autograph Copy Signed. (B/5/19). The Bishop is the center of Unity in his diocese and any departure from the obligation of ecclesiastical Unity is schism; English Bishops have no authority is Scotland so the claim of the clergy of the Anglican communions in Scotland to be attached to the Church of England is without foundation; they owe canonical obedience to the Scottish Bishops and any resistance is resistance to the Ordinance of God.","Item 1: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 3 March 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears seal of Daubeny. (B/5/20). He is sending Boucher some of his sermons intended to publication as a relaxation from etymological research. The British Critic, which he had thought at least Episcopalian, is doing more harm than good to the cause of the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin Review exaggerates the value of Dr. Randolph's sermons.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 6 May 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/21). He has heard nothing from Boucher about the papers he sent him but his nephew [Joshua] Watson says he is very busy and very lazy. A new medical publication by a Dr. Haggarth is said to have been read before the library \u0026 Philosophical Society at Bath; such literary juntas, full of half- informed, unprincipled men, are all the fashion; this society, self-constituted at Bath, is headed by infidels and Quakers; the Treasurer is Matthews, the Quaker; Dr. Gibbes [Sir George Smith Gibbes, D.N.B.] is the secretary; Sir George Colebrooke, the President; and Sir William Watson [D.N.B.], the Vice President.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 29 May 1801\n4 pages.  Autograph Letter Signed.  (B/5/22). He is sending Boucher some further Discourses with a Preface addressed to the younger clergy mentioning Dr. Campbell's work, as Bp. Skinner suggested. Dr. Randolph merely skimmed over a great subject; the admiration of William Stevens (\"not my friend\") for him is a species of self- idolatry. If Bp. Skinner wishes to see Daubeny's letter to Lord Kinnoul, will Boucher send on his copy [B/5/19]; criticism of Dr. Campbell's book. He knows nothing of Mr. Faber, but as he is a Calvinist, their works will hardly cover the same ground.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [16 September 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/23). He is sending via Joshua Watson, a very handsome letter he received from John Bowden, D.D., Principal of the Episcopal Academy in Connecticut; he is much impressed by the sound principles and seal of both the American and the Scottish Episcopacy. He asks Boucher to help him make his Discourses fit for the press; the lengthy criticism of Dr. Campbell's works needs a more formal introduction.\nItem 5: John Bowden, Cheshire, Connecticut, to Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], 18 June 1801\nCopy of Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/24). On behalf of the Convocation of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut he thanks Daubeny for Writing his Guide to the Church . He sent for a copy on reading a review in the Anti-Jacobin , and was so impressed by it that he and his colleagues are determined that it shall be a standard book for candidates for Holy Orders. Expresses admiration and affection for England and its institutions.","Item 1: C[harles] D[aubeny], Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 19 Nov[embe]r 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/25). His Discourses have been much improved by Boucher's revisions. He has just been sent a pamphlet by a layman attacking him as a traducer of Baxter; \"the Laity write with so much confidence on divine Subjects, that if we are to take their own word for it, the Clergy may shut up shop\"; he believes that he gave Baxter as much credit as he deserved in his Guide to the Church, in fact, he treated him generously. Lists misdeeds [in Daubeny's eyes] of [Richard] Baxter.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jona[tha]n Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 19 Mar[ch] 1802\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/26). He is sending copies of his Discourses [published under the title of Eight Discourses on the Connexion between the Old and New Testament ] to Boucher and Bps. Drummond and Skinner; he hopes that Boucher and Skinner will review it. He hoped that Bp. Skinner would have been able to visit Bath to see his church [Christ Church, Walcot] there. He has received Boucher's Prospectus [of his Glossary of Archaic and Provincial Words ] and has put his own name down and that of Winchester College Library.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 27 March 1802\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/27). He has asked Dr. Gleig to review his Discourses as Boucher has declined to do so. He believes William Stevens to be fundamentally an honest man, but his passions so run away with his judgment, that he is subject to be imposed upon by those who are not honest men. Daubeny defends Public Seminaries on a general principle, considering them to be the best security against Ignorance and Enthusiasm.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, North Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 11 July 1803\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/28). He hopes that Boucher will read through the Guide to the Church making marginal remarks, preparatory to a new edition. He refers to the prospect of a stall at Durham for Boucher. Exhorts Boucher to spend his time in defense of the church.","W[illia]m Cobbett, Philadelphia, [Pa.], to Jona[tha]n Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 11 July 1803\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed.

Boucher was unable to fore the result of the American war; \"If the Rebels seem to have been more successful, they owe it not to their superior wisdom, but superior villainy.

New York is well- disposed and would make a good base for the King's troops. Advocates control of New York from New York City to Albany to split the northern colonies from the southern. Pennsylvania has made no overt act of treason nor raised any troops; the Carolinias, Virginia and Maryland are too busy with internal problems, i.e. Indians and slaves, to seek regular troops in a hostile way; the white servants would certainly enlist with the King's troops, Baltimore and Annapolis contain many such men; trade embargos should be sufficient to deal with these colonies.

He is glad that Boucher approves \"The Life\" [Jones of Nayland's Life of Bishop Horne ] and asks him to review it for the Critical Review. Stevens has received some money for Boucher on Mrs. Chandler's account. If Dr.. Vyse and Dr. Benson, both of whom are ill, should die, the Archbishop will have some livings to dispose of.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Aug[us]t 1796\n2 pages Autograph Letter Signed.

He will probably expect to see a calf's head on the table at dinner.\nItem 2: [William Stevens], Kentbury, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 5 Sept. 1798\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/79). He and Boucher are both wanderers, but Boucher prefers mountains. Boucher's work [A View of the Causes and Consequences of the American Revolution] has been well received by Lord Kenyon and the Archbishop of York. As he was \"struck out of the Privy Council\" after giving his opinion against accepting a mitre in the Scottish church, he had not heard that Boucher had taken a house at Carlisle and does not think it signifies anything whether he approves or not.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 18 Oct[ober] 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/80). He hopes that he will soon be able to talk to Boucher instead of writing to him.

Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/82). He thanks Boucher for his information about \"Scots lords and German bears.\" Boucher takes too gloomy a view of his hopes and prospects; against his failure in his hopes of a Scottish Bishopric and the prospect of three pupils may be weighed the fortune bequeathed by Miss Barton [see B/3/11] and the thousands obtained with Miss Foreman [Boucher's second wife, whose fortune was 14,000]. The Rector of Otham [William Horne] sends his best respects and suggests Boucher try and live quiet and happy.\nItem 3: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 26 April, 1800\n1 page Autograph Letter Signed.

He wishes him a successful journey.\nItem 4: William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan [Boucher], 4 June 1800\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/84). He is convinced by Sir William Forbes' letter that the Archbishop [of Canterbury] was right in what he said to Lord Kinnoull and it is not his fault that the measure failed that Boucher wished to succeed. Prince and Gifford [John Gifford; D.N.B.] deserve to have their bones broken for what was written about Stevens' in the Anti-Jacobin . He feels that the writing of a life of Old Jones is beyond his powers.\nItem 5: [William Stevens], Farmborough, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, Sussex, [Eng.], 15 Aug[ust] 1800\n3 pages Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/85). Boucher's strict system of economy has been so ruinous that Stevens is determined to renounce economy altogether. He gives Boucher information about Mr. Post, a Gentleman of the law, for whom he has no high regard; Post has told Boucher that marriages have diminished, so Stevens was comforted for the future of the world when he found that bastardy increased in the same proportion. Boucher need not fear to be thought a Low Churchman and may sit on the right hand of Nobody at the next meeting [Nobody's club, founded in Stevens' honour in 1800, was known for its High Church principles]; but how can he think Lord Kinnoull a sensible honest man when he is no better than a Presbyterian? He hopes Boucher will see Anthony Richardson while he is in England. Sir Frederick [Eden] will be an excellent neighbour.\nItem 6: [William Stevens], Otham, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Rottingdean, Brighton, [Eng.], Goose Eating Day 1800 [Michaelmas 29 Sept.]\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/86). He contrasts his own apathy with Boucher's energy. He thanks Boucher for offering to write the biographical sketch of Old Jones, but he has, after much effort, written one of his own which he will show him in manuscript. Frank [Randolph] has published some sermons. He sees from the papers that Sir F. [Frederick Eden] is Chairman of the Flour Company. One of Stevens' brother-auditors has just died so he is now senior auditor.

He warns Boucher not to expect great things from his letters; he bears news of him through Tom Calverley and John Richardson; Boucher has been having trouble with his agent for his property in the North; it is surprising that he has not learned from experience. He is sorry to hear that Boucher has had trouble with his assistant; he hopes that the connection with Frere may take place [probably the position was offered to one of John Frere's sons]; he is glad that Boucher takes more kindly to \"pupilizing\" and suggests that he asks Tom Hooker, who has a school at Rottingdean, for recommendations. Has Boucher noticed the Bagdon business?\nItem 2: [William Stevens], London, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 31 March 1803\n1 page. Autograph Letter Signed. Signed with monogram. (B/3/88).

He has received Boucher's valuable and interesting publication [his American sermons] from Mr. Watson [Joshua Watson; D.N.B.; wine merchant and philanthropist; married to Daubeny's niece]; he sees in this country the principles which led to the American Revolution. In an article on his Guide to the Church, the Analytical Review calls him, Boucher and Horsley [Samuel Horsley, later Bp. of St. Asaph; D.N.B.] the Lauds of the present day.

Drummond at Hawthorndon [William Abernethy Drummond, Bp. of Edinburgh]; the Bishop believes his Guide to the Church may do some good in Scotland and wishes to have it abridged there. Daubeny would like Boucher's opinion of Sir Richard Hill's \"farrago\" as he intends to answer it [Sir Richard Hill; D.N.B.; supporter of Calvinistic Methodism, attacked Daubeny's Guide, and carried on a long controversy with him by pamphlets]. The work of churchmen is usually to go over old ground.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Mr. [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 28 Dec[embe]r 1798\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/3). He apologizes for not acknowledging earlier sermons Boucher sent him, but he has been much occupied with his new church at Bath [Christ Church, Walcot] and with his reply to Sir Richard Hill, which Boucher advised him to write; he would like him to read the first part of this work; Mr. William Stevens has written to tell him that Mr. Jones [of Nayland] is thinking of replying to Sir Richard. He asks whether Boucher has heard from his friend, the Scotch Bishop [of Edinburgh], how the abridgement of the Guide to the Church is progressing.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 8 Jan[uar]y 1799\n3 pages.

Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/5). He has received his packet of papers and Boucher's notes upon them and is sending him another packet which he should keep until the remaining part of the publication comes before him; he would like Boucher's opinion on the scope of the work, particularly on the subjects of Calvinism, Church Unity and Schism.\nItem 6: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Feb[ruar]y 1799\n3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/6). He is sending Boucher the final part of his work which has already been corrected by Mr. Bowdler, [John Bowdler, D.N.B.]; although he wishes everything harsh-sounding to be cut out of the work, he thinks that Bowdler has carried this a little too far, and would welcome Boucher's opinion on those corrections; Boucher can expect no other reward than the satisfaction of supporting the Cause of the Church.\nItem 7: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, No. 8 Cresent, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher, 18 Mar[ch] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/7a). The first part of his work is in the press, and he asks Boucher to return any part of the remainder with which he has finished. He asks if Boucher has seen Bp. Drummond's abridgment of the Guide ; and abridgement of the work, with addenda from the letters to Sir Richard Hill, would be a useful book for general circulation; he is unwilling to undertake this task himself as an author is the worst qualified to abridge his own work. The liberal ideas and smooth sentences of such modern speculatists as Dr. Paley [William Paley, D.N.B.] may be preferred to his old-fashioned writing as more accommodating. He sent a copy of the Guide to the Archbishop of Canterbury but he did not acknowledge it.\nItem 8: Suggested title page for Daubeny's Letters to Sir Richard Hill [which were published under the title An Appendix to the Guide to the Church], undated\nWrapper of (B/5/7a). 1 page.

(B/5/8). He is revising the last part of his work, incorporating many of Boucher's suggestions; he hopes it may be better received than the Guide which had a very poor review in the British Critic; his friend, the author of Reform or Ruin, [John Bowdler], does not wish to undertake a review; Daubeny considers Boucher the fittest person to do this.  He commends the sound  constitutional principles of the Anti-Jacobin; his abilities are at the service of the editor [John Gifford, D.N.B.]; he considers \"that schismatic courier\", The Gospel Magazine, a danger to the Constitution.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N. Bradley, Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.]., 16 July 1799\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/9). He has directed Hatchard [John Hatchard, D.N.B., publisher] to keep six copies of the book for Boucher to distribute to his friends at Shrewsbury, Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] and his father, and the Rev. Dr. Glegg [sic: George Gleig, D.N.B., later Bp. of Brechin]. He hopes his book has aided the cause of the church. Thanks Boucher for his revisions.\nItem 3: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Trowbridge], [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 24 Sept[ember] 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/10). He has received strong and decided letters from Bp. Skinner and Dr. Gleig, and believes that will write good reviews of his book; however, he is sorry that Boucher would not undertake this task. He is sorry to hear that the Anti-Jacobin is declining and wishes he had more leisure to write for it. He has written a pamphlet to Mrs. Hannah More, whose faith, like that of Mr. Wilberforce, is Calvinism in disguise; her doctrine that Faith is necessarily productive of works is a most dangerous error, a true Child of Enthusiasm. An explanation of his reasoning on that point.\nItem 4: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.]., 23 Oct[obe]r 1799\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/11). Sir Richard Hill is to reply to Daubeny's answer; all Calvinists are the spawn of the Scotch Covenanters and, were it in their power, would be just as intolerant; Daubeny has also been attacked by a brother clergyman. Of some parts of Mrs. More's writings he has as high an opinion as Boucher, but as she has it in her power to do so much good, he wishes her to be \"wholly with us\"; however, the difference is in expression rather than idea. He will use his influence at Winchester College [where he was a Fellow] on behalf of Boucher's son, but application for admission should be made immediately; he will find out about fees when his own boys come home for Christmas.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher], 7 Jan[uary] 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/12). The fees of Winchester College have nearly doubled since his time, being 60 p.a. He has met Dr. Matthew Spens who told him that Bp. Drummond has lost a colleague [the principal Minister of the English Episcopal Chapel in Edinburgh] and, wishing him to be replaced by a minister of the Church of England has written to Boucher [see also A/4a-b]; however, Bp. Watson Richard Watson, Bp. of Llandaff, D.N.B.] has written someone else a testimonial, which Daubeny considers a very poor recommendation. He and Bp. Douglas [see A/4] agree that the Anti-Jacobin is in need of assistance. He disapproves of Bp. Porteaus' [of London] support of Hannah More; the Bishop has acted very badly in another matter which Daubeny cannot explain in a letter.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [28 January 1800]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/13). He is sorry that the fees at Winchester have risen so high, and fears that this trend will lead to less learning in the Church. His Letters to Mrs. Hannah More have received very handsome reviews, but his critic, Sir Richard Hill, has appeared again and attacked both the Guide and the Appendix ; Daubeny is not eager to write another reply.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eItem 1: Charles Daubeny to [Jonathan Boucher], 27 Feb[ruar]y 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/14). He has read through Boucher's papers and returns them with his comments. The tenet that Faith is necessarily productive is very near the Calvinistic doctrine of the irresistibility of divine Grace; as long as Mrs. More continues to frequent independent chapels he will doubt her attachment to the Church of England; he gives her credit for much good done on the best principle, but not for the best judgment or the best information. When he has time, he will tell Boucher more about the Bp. of London, whom he thinks neither sound nor honest.\nItem 2: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 16 April 1800\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears eal. (B/5/15). He has sent Boucher his comments on Sir Richard Hill's last publication; he believes he should be answered as in these times, his work may do mischief. He is also sending a sermon by a Mr. Dennis in defence of Mrs. More, who keeps a sort of school for the younger, self-confident, \"hop, step and jump\" clergy; he has reviewed it at length as it misrepresents what he wrote in his Letters to Mrs. Hannah More. He has received a letter from a Mr. Ludlam [possibly Thomas Ludlam, D.N.B., theologian and opponent of Calvinism] complimenting him on this work.\nItem 3: Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 7 Nov[embe]r 1800\n7 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/16). He believes his packet containing Mr. Dennis's sermon may not have reached Boucher; Dennis is one of those self-sufficient, forward young Divines now growing up in the Church. He has seen Boucher's handsome review of a work by the Bp. of Lincoln but doubts whether the Bishop is as orthodox and apostolical as he is represented to be.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [14 January 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/17). Bp. Skinner [of Aberdeen] has asked him to reply to Dr. Campbell's posthumous publication [Lectures on Ecclesiastical History] by Dr. George Campbell]; he feels that this might seem like presumption in a Church of England clergyman, and that Bp. Skinner himself is the fittest person to defend the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin has reviewed a work by Mr. Evans, who was Daubeny's curate until dismissed with disgrace.\nItem 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 21 January 1801\n2 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/18). He encloses a letter he has written at the pressing solicitation of Bp. Drummond to Lord Kinnoul who was a friend of his at Oxford; the Earl has already consulted the Archbishop of Canterbury on the subject [of the Scottish Church]. Daubeny has heard once more from Mr. Jones Dennis who has sent him notice of the Churchman's Magazine which is shortly to be published.\nItem 6: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Lord Kinnoul, Robert Auriol Hay-Drummond, 1751-1804, Earl of Kinnoull], November 1800\n8 pages. Autograph Copy Signed. (B/5/19). The Bishop is the center of Unity in his diocese and any departure from the obligation of ecclesiastical Unity is schism; English Bishops have no authority is Scotland so the claim of the clergy of the Anglican communions in Scotland to be attached to the Church of England is without foundation; they owe canonical obedience to the Scottish Bishops and any resistance is resistance to the Ordinance of God.\u003c/p\u003e","\u003cp\u003eItem 1: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, [Bath, Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, [Eng.], 3 March 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. Bears seal of Daubeny. (B/5/20). He is sending Boucher some of his sermons intended to publication as a relaxation from etymological research. The British Critic, which he had thought at least Episcopalian, is doing more harm than good to the cause of the Scottish Episcopacy. The Anti-Jacobin Review exaggerates the value of Dr. Randolph's sermons.\nItem 2: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 6 May 1801\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/21). He has heard nothing from Boucher about the papers he sent him but his nephew [Joshua] Watson says he is very busy and very lazy. A new medical publication by a Dr. Haggarth is said to have been read before the library \u0026amp; Philosophical Society at Bath; such literary juntas, full of half- informed, unprincipled men, are all the fashion; this society, self-constituted at Bath, is headed by infidels and Quakers; the Treasurer is Matthews, the Quaker; Dr. Gibbes [Sir George Smith Gibbes, D.N.B.] is the secretary; Sir George Colebrooke, the President; and Sir William Watson [D.N.B.], the Vice President.\nItem 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 29 May 1801\n4 pages.  Autograph Letter Signed.  (B/5/22). He is sending Boucher some further Discourses with a Preface addressed to the younger clergy mentioning Dr. Campbell's work, as Bp. Skinner suggested. Dr. Randolph merely skimmed over a great subject; the admiration of William Stevens (\"not my friend\") for him is a species of self- idolatry. If Bp. Skinner wishes to see Daubeny's letter to Lord Kinnoul, will Boucher send on his copy [B/5/19]; criticism of Dr. Campbell's book. He knows nothing of Mr. Faber, but as he is a Calvinist, their works will hardly cover the same ground.\nItem 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], [16 September 1801]\n4 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/23). He is sending via Joshua Watson, a very handsome letter he received from John Bowden, D.D., Principal of the Episcopal Academy in Connecticut; he is much impressed by the sound principles and seal of both the American and the Scottish Episcopacy. He asks Boucher to help him make his Discourses fit for the press; the lengthy criticism of Dr. Campbell's works needs a more formal introduction.\nItem 5: John Bowden, Cheshire, Connecticut, to Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], 18 June 1801\nCopy of Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/24). On behalf of the Convocation of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut he thanks Daubeny for Writing his Guide to the Church . He sent for a copy on reading a review in the Anti-Jacobin , and was so impressed by it that he and his colleagues are determined that it shall be a standard book for candidates for Holy Orders.

He has just been sent a pamphlet by a layman attacking him as a traducer of Baxter; \"the Laity write with so much confidence on divine Subjects, that if we are to take their own word for it, the Clergy may shut up shop\"; he believes that he gave Baxter as much credit as he deserved in his Guide to the Church, in fact, he treated him generously.
