Letters to Richard Heber, Esq. Containing Critical Remarks on the Series of Novels Beginning with "Waverley" and an Attempt to Ascertain Their Author.
London: printed For Rodwell And Martin, Bond-Street, 1821 . 0. First edition. 8vo. 210mm x 135mm x 20mm. pp. 255/[1p. - Colophon London: Printed By Thomas Davison, Whitefriars.] . Contemporary quarter green cloth over marbled boards. Edges rubbed and bumped. Hinges cracked, but boards firmly attached. Bookplate to verso of the front board: "Ex Libris Ed. Wilding". Half title present. Clear English text. Sporadic foxing throughout. G+ ** "This work was published anonymously by John Leycester Adolphus (1795-1862), an English lawyer and author. He discusses the authorship of the then anonymous Waverley novels, and concludes that they were written by Sir Walter Scott, based on the resemblance of the novels in general style and method to the poems acknowledged by Scott. Scott thought at first that the letters were written by Reginald Heber - the great bookcollector, later to become bishop of Calcutta, who had earlier postulated that Scott was the author - and the discovery of J. L. Adolphus's identity led to a warm friendship.".

By John I Martin.. 1834." ** "HIGFORD, WILLIAM (1581?–1657), puritan, was born in the neighbourhood of Alderton in Gloucestershire about 1581. On 14 Jan. 1596–7 he matriculated at Oriel College, Oxford (Reg. Univ. Oxf. ii. ii. 218, Oxf. Hist. Soc.) Wood says that he entered in 1595 as a fellow-commoner. He subsequently migrated to Corpus Christi College, where he says he had for his tutor Sebastian Benefield. He graduated B.A. 16 Feb. 1598–9 (ib. ii. iii. 215, where he is called Hichford). Wood states that ‘by the benefit of good discipline and natural parts he became a well qualified gentleman,’ and that after taking his degree in arts he retired to his father's seat at Dixton, near Alderton, was appointed a justice of the peace, and was highly respected by the neighbouring nobility and gentry, particularly Grey Brydges, Lord Chandos. He married Mary, daughter of John Meulx of the Isle of Wight, by whom he had a son John, born in 1607. Higford, who is stated to have been ‘a zealous puritan,’ died at his residence at Dixton on 6 April 1657, in the seventy-seventh year of his age, leaving behind him, ‘beside other matter fit for the press,’ a large manuscript, entitled ‘Institutions, or Advice to his Grandson, in three Parts,’ which was revised by Clement Barksdale, and published in London in 1658, 16mo. A second edition appeared in 1660, 8vo, under the title of ‘The Institution of a Gentleman, in Three Parts,’ dedicated to Lord Scudamore, and containing ‘An Address to the Generous Reader’ by Barksdale, together with an ‘Epitaphium Gulielmi Higford,’ and his praise in English verse, headed ‘Fama loquitur.’ It was also printed in the ‘Harleian Miscellany,’ vol. ix. 1812." - See Wikipedia .
