(Adolphus William Ward in DNB). He published translations from Latin, German and Italian, most notably Dante's Vita Nuova and Goethe's Faust. One sheet folded to make four pages, one is used.

Dated 11 Oct., 1871. On mourning stationery, embossed letterhead "Parks End, Oxford", 2 pp., to "My Dear Sir, My last article 'On Classical Studies in India' was written with a practical purpose, and I am glad to say has doone some good." He has given up the "idea of 'Four Essays'", but is offering "the Philosophy of Mythology which I delivered at the Royal Institution in the spring." The addressee must have been a magazine editor. The German born Muller was a naturalized English citizen. He was noted for his expertise in Eastern religion, philosophy, and linguistics. One sheet folded (that fold tender) then folded for mailing. An old preservative has browned but the legibility is not impaired. A Good letter.

McCarthy, Justin. Autograph Letter, Signed (Twenty-two of them) and Typed Letter, Signed (Eleven of these).
Various places, various dates from 1857-1908, mostly after 1875. About 15 are to the publisher, Chatto and Windus, most of the rest are to various editors. Plus 2 letters from his daughter, Charlotte. Most are brief, discussing business matters. Justin McCarthy was a popular writer (Miss Misanthrope, A Fair Saxon), a liberal Irish nationalist politician, and member of the House of Commons of Great Britain. Some with edges chipped, especially the typed letters, as the typing paper is fragile. In Very Good to Good condition.
