Abraham Hayward, English essayist and translator. His many friendships with significant figures in the literary and political circles of Victorian London resulted in this collection of correspondence. The Abraham Hayward Correspondence Files are chiefly made up of letters addressed to Abraham Hayward by various English writers, politicians and society figures between 1831 and 1884. Among the correspondents represented are: Lord Brougham, lord chancellor; John Wilson Croker, politician and writer; Isaac D'Israeli, writer; W. E. Gladstone, prime minister and author; Letitia Elizabeth Landon, poet; Edward Bulwer-Lytton, writer and politician; Lady Sydney (Owenson) Morgan, novelist and hostess; Count D'Orsay, man of fashion; Samuel Rogers, poet; and William Makepeace Thackeray, novelist. A few items in the Files are letters addressed to recipients other than Hayward, some apparently collected by him as autographs. less

Two contemporary manuscript copies of letters relating to the June 1836 case of criminal conversation with Caroline Norton brought against Lord Melbourne by George Norton. Both copies in the same clerical hand; paper bears a watermark date of 1836. Formerly housed in a later 19th century envelope marked in ink: "Hon. Mrs. P. A. Irby" (i.e., Augusta Cowell). The first page of one of the copies bears a penciled note at the top, possibly in the hand of Augusta Cowell: "Before the trial - Mr N[orton] at this period was jealous of Cap.n Fitzroy Campbell.". less
