Two pages, 12mo, bifolium, tipped on to larger piece of paper, substantial, good condition. "My dear Sir.- | I have alled on you twice [.] Mr Roscoe tells me that it is decided by you Mr Campbell & Mr Colburn that Mr Galiano [see Note 2 below] should write an Article for the New Monthly - on the subject of Spanish romance - taking as a text my romances - Of course this is highly desirable & I have, no doubt, Mr Galiano would do justice to the subject which I think will be interesting - But as I have already spoken to Mr Galiano about the other [?] article - I think the communication would come with a better grace from you & Mr Roscoe - as I was unsuccessful in the first negotiation & besides as my 'Castilian' [a work of his] is to be noticed in the same article that the propposal should come from a third person. Will you write me a word or appoint a meeting - Is the article to be for this or for the next month - because if it is the first case [there's?] no time to be lost."WITH: two copies of the cartoon of Trueba y Cosio that appeared in Maclise's "Gallery of Literary Characters" in "Fraser's Magazine" as "The Author of 'The Exquisites' [a farce published in 1832 by Bentley] with a copy of the accompanying letterpress in which it is claimed he is English not Spanish, and his work (e.g. "The Exquisites or, a new portraiture of exclusive society") slated.Notes:1.

Riego y Núñez which led to the reestablishment of the constitutional structure in Spain (1820). | During the revolution of 182023, Alcalá Galiano was one of the prominent leaders of the Exaltados. Between 1822 and 1823 he served as deputy in the Cortes. He opposed the Comunerosthe leftmost wing in the Spanish revolution. After the defeat of the revolution, Alcalá Galiano emigrated to England, returning after the amnesty of 1834. He joined the moderate party, the Moderados. In 1834 he served as minister of the navy, and in 1865 as minister of the economy." In fact, in collaboration with Sir John Bowring, he wrote an article on "Spanish Novels" published in the "Westminster Review", vol. 6.278-303 (October 1826 - does this suggest an approximate date for this letter?).…
