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. Item 2: Char[le]s Daubeny, N[orth] Bradley, near Trowbridge, [Eng.], to Jonathan Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 20 June 1798 3 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. Item 3: Charles Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to Mr. [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 28 Dec[embe]r 1798 3 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. Item 4: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 8 Jan[uar]y 1799 3 pages. Autograph Letter Signed. (B/5/4). He is sending part of his reply to Sir Richard Hill for Boucher to read and criticize. Item 5: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, Epsom, Surrey, [Eng.], 18 Feb. 1799 3 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. Item 6: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan] Boucher, 22 Feb[ruar]y 1799 3 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. Item 7: Cha[rle]s Daubeny, No. 8 Cresent, Bath, [Eng.], to [Jonathan Boucher, 18 Mar[ch] 1799 4 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.

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].
