Summary
Sending "...a book of mine just published, called Eric. Knowing how deep an interest you take in scholars I am sure you will excuse me for thrusting it into your notice. Its faults lie thick as dust - but it is certainly a true picture for it is daguerreotyped from life. I send you the first edition, because the second (w'h will appear very soon) will not differ from it materially, although it will contain some improvements. Accept the copy as a tribute of admiration to the author of a noble & useful book..."
