Of the five volumes comprising Arnold's History of Rome, the first two were published during Arnold's lifetime, in 1838 and 1840, and bring the history up to the end of the First Punic War. The third volume, published after Arnold's death by J.C. Hare in 1843, continues the narrative to the end of the Second Punic War. Two more volumes (not offered here) were published in 1845 on the History of the Later Roman Commonwealth, to complete the history. Though he is best remembered for his educational reforms as Headmaster of Rugby, Arnold's classical studies, especially his masterful History of Rome, will always hold a high place in the history of English literature.

4pp., 4to. Bifolium with mourning border. In fair condition, lightly aged, with short closed tears at edges of some folds. An excellent letter, indignantly countering what must be the most serious accusation one historian can level against another, that of making 'false quotations'. The recipient is not named, but from the context is undoubtedly the Headmaster of Rugby School, Thomas Arnold, who since the previous year had held the Regius Professorship of History at Oxford, and would die four months later, on 12 June 1842. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir | You will not, I am certain, consider it as a liberty if I address you a few lines on the subject of an allusion [last word underlined] to a passage in my History of the Middle Ages which I understand you to have made in a recent lecture at Oxford. The great respect which I bear to you will be a sufficient excuse; for, in an ordinary case, I should have waited for publication of the lecture, & made my observations then, or not, as I might have thought it expedient'. He does not have 'an exact knowledge of what you said concerning me', but assures Arnold of the 'very great annoyance' he felt when 'Dr Buckland [i.e. the geologist and cleric William Buckland (1784-1856)], some weeks since, told me, in his jocular language, "Dr Arnold has been blowing you up for false quotations'. He did not have 'the slightest notion what was the specific charge', but considered it 'a most serious imputation upon any writer', and subsequently 'obtained some information' from 'Dr. B.', 'vague indeed, but enough to make me conjecture that your charge related to the well-known passage in Eligius. This has been confirmed since by a letter which a friend of mine received from Oxford; but the words said to have been used by you are very loosely given from memory. It appears however that you spoke in very handsome terms of my general character as a faithful historian'. Arnold has almost certainly overlooked the fact that 'in the fourth edition of my work, & in all that followed, I have retracted the error into which I had been led, so far as it was an error, in the fullest manner; not silently correcting or omitting the passage, but leaving it as it stood, with a note acknowledging it to be highly exaggerated, in consequence of the wrong interpretation which through Mosheim's quotation, many besides myself had put upon the original writer's meaning. On reading this note again, after several years, it appears to me that I have gone to the utmost in saying that the passage quoted by Mosheim ought never to be applied again; for in reality it is one of importance, & serves to confirm what Mosheim himself has said, though Maclaine, & those who followed him, went much farther than it would warrant.' He discusses a Latin sentence, declaring: 'I need not add that this was no false quotation, nor even a garbled one, on the part of Mosheim, who gave an entire [?] - still less on my part, who only quoted him & Robertson.' He ends by declaring his expectation that 'when your lectures go to the press, you will do me the justice of taking notice' that he has corrected 'the error into which I had been led'. In conclusion he observes, for the purpose of bring his work 'to the public eye, it has been absolutely necessary to give modern authorities'.

On both sides of a 17.5 x 20.5 cm piece of wove paper cut from the first leaf of a letter, with 14 lines of text on the recto, and 20 lines of text on the verso. In fair condition, lightly aged, with two small labels used as mounts still adhering. Annotated at the head of the first page, in a small light hand, dating the letter by reference to Arnold's 'Memoirs', and explaining that the letter is written 'To Mrs. Arnold who gave me this | [?] from Her dear hand | Autumn 1860'. For the context of the letter see the Memoirs, 'Appendix C. | VIII. Tour in the South of France'. The letter begins: 'My dearest Mary, | We arrived here at three o' Clock this Afternoon and are off in the Steam Boat for [Roignon?] tomorrow Morning at 5. - Our Window looks across the Saone to the Cathedral of N. D. de Fourvieres on the Top of the Hill. - It is a magnificent Town, but the Heat here as every where is overpowering.' He predicts that the following day 'will be a cool and I expect a very interesting Day'. He will be interested to know 'what weather you have had in Westmoreland, for fine Weather there is truly enjoyable, and you need not fear the Sun'. Referring to the 'Lyon Tablet', he writes: 'We have just been out a little after Dinner, & have seen the famous Plate containing the Speech of Claudius about giving the Freedom of Rome to the Gauls. - It is preserved here in the Museum. We have now come to the End of my Knowledge, and I suppose that I shall enlarge my Knowledge a little, but Naples I think is out of the Question, and probably so also will Voltura [sic, for 'Volterra'] be.' The recto ends here with the words 'But our [.]'. The verso begins: '[ ] rather too hot We have today clearly seen the whole Group of the Avergne Mountains in the Distance and their Outline is exceedingly [no word follows]. I succeeded in getting a Sketch of them as we drove along besides seeing the Clermont Chain we have had a most hilly days Journey, for we have crossed the Chain of Hills whose exact Height I do not know but where we went was more than 1500 so that the highest Peaks must be at least 3000. The Country would have been beautiful if it had not been so burnt up that it was all one Brown Colour together'. He describes how, on '[t]he first Evening after leaving Paris we slept at Ponthiery where the Salon was hung with Pictures of the Westmoreland Lakes the next day we passed through the Forest of Fontainebleau, which was most beautiful but as I have described it full length in my Journal and have not now much Time I shall pass it over'. The extract on the verso concludes with a description of a night at 'Briare on the Loire' and his making of a sketch, and the words: 'Today we have had an easy Day - [.]'.

Hardcover. 1st edition. [5], 404 p.; 22 cm. Dedicated to Edward Hawkins, Provost of Oriel College. Preface May 5th, 1842 - shortly before his death. In a sermon preached 1871 before the Lord Mayor of London, Arnold's biographer Dean A. P. Stanley stated `It is now nearly thirty years ago that a great academical audience was thrilled by the moving description which one of the wisest and best of England's teachers gave of the siege of Genoa during the last great European war [1799]. It was told with the view of fixing public attention upon the cruel necessities imposed on armies and on nations by the present condition of the laws of war; and the speaker urged, with an impressive earnestness, which none who heard it can ever forget, that great cities should no longer be turned into fortresses, and that, whatever have been the horrors of war in past times, they might for the future be relieved of this terrible aggravation.' (Westminster sermons, New York ed., p. 367 f., referring to p. 214-21 of this volume) G lt.edgeworn half calf. Bookplate of John Horrocks Ainsworth.
