Add to basketSee Sams's entry in the Oxford DNB. Two letters providing an interesting glimpse of the practicalities of Victorian antiquarian bookselling. Both letters 3pp, 12mo, and bifoliums addressed on reverse of second leaf, with broken seals and postmarks, to 'Godfrey Meynell Esqre | at Mr Stamp's, | Surgeon, | Seaton Carew, | nr Hartle…pool.' Both addressed to 'Respected Frd.' In fair condition, aged and worn. ONE: 15 August 1847. He begins by explaining that he was 'from home in the city of Durham' when Meynell's letter came. Sams explains the pricing of two items in his catalogue, beginning with: 'The reduced price, to give satisfaction, that the rare Chaucer, 1542, folio was put at, was £2. 15s. 6d, tho' it was considered modest at a guinea more, 3. 13. 6'. The second book, 'the Anglo Poetica', 'has not a word said for bind[in]g, therefore it is to be taken as in old binding, for when in Russia, they carefully state it, & when extra bd, neat, &c. But the present is very neat, in the original oak bds covered with leather, a state generally quite prized.' He discusses the cost of delivery: 'The carriage I do not suppose will be above a shilling, which is the price to York, much further than Seaton. However, as perhaps the gentleman to whom I now write may be a customer hereafter, I have determined to sustain the further loss (tho' not intended to go, at the least, under the £2. 15s. 6) & on receing a line saying the exact mode by which this work is to be sent, & whether by coach or merchant train, (the post order can be enclosed in the letter) it shall be very carefully packed, & sent, as may be pointed out.' He ends with the information that 'a gentleman I saw at Durham, since I have been away, spoke to me about this very work, & it seems likely he will call abt. It when this way, at not less than 3£. or 3. 3s. | Had it not the little injury, it is supposed it wd. be well worth even 5£. now.' TWO: 17 August 1847. Begins: 'Thine has come to hand, - the rare edition of Chaucer has been gone thro' leaf by leaf, & it seems quite difficult to collate, for the paging is very often wrong, but the catchwords prove nothing to be wanting. Yet we fear 1 or 2 leaves are wanting in the interior, (quite perfect at beginning & end) tho' difficult to ascertain as clearly as could be wished.' Sams is 'striving to leave for the Metropolis' the following day, '& time being exceedingly precious, so close attention has not been given to the looking over the book, as could otherwise.)' He suggests a price of £2 15s for 'this rare book, which is remarkable, in having the original first, & second titles, as well as last leaf, &c, & also for being in the original oak bds neatly covered with embossed leather'. He ends: 'I think of keeping it, apprehending it wd. bring that, or more, at auction even.' A postscript concerns catalogue orders, and ends: 'The christn. name is Joseph -'. In another hand (Meynell's?), beneath the address on the reverse of the second leaf, is an eight-line note on the faults in a book (the Chaucer?), beginning: 'In the prologue at least 2 leaves are wanting that is from verse 505 to 715 -'.

Add to basket4to, 1 p. In bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf with circular 'RUSHYFORD' postmark in black ink. On aged and creased paper, with traces of mount adhering on second leaf. Giving details of the 'allowance to the Trade', which he admits is 'small', for volumes in large and small paper. 'Only 500 Copies being printed it i…s not worth my while to push the sale by a large allowance'. Sams' draft is on the recto of the second leaf: 'J Sams Bookseller, Darlington, respectfully informs his Friends and the Public that as soon as published he will receive the Annuals, Almanacs, Gentlemen's & Ladys Diaries &c & begs to solicit a share of their patronage'.

Add to basketSee Sams's entry in the Oxford DNB. 4pp, 12mo. On a bifolium, the second leaf of which has had a rectangle, almost amounting to half, cut away from the bottom. The text of the letter is complete, but the priced list of the prints and drawings on the last page, lacks the lower half. A long letter, closely written. Signed 'J. Sams….' Aged, worn and lightly stained, but nevertheless in passable condition. The recipient, saluted as 'Esteemed Friend', is not named. In the first paragraph Sams is at pains to explain his bookselling practice as founded on plain dealing: 'I have been from home to York, & other places, & this is the first day I have had here, since thine came. I regret the circumstance, fearing it may cause to suppose I have been inattentive ot the request sent. As a rule, the wish is, to put all as cheap as may be, & not take back. One great difficulty as to return, is, (especially of a fine work likely to be noticed, as this) people have remarked [last word underlined] the book, not seeing it as usual, suppose it sold & gone, even if they are not so informed. Consequently to see it come back again, they suppose somethg. [sic] is the matter, & the sale of the work afterwards; is probably much injured.* [* Sometimes also some injury arises in carriage two ways.'] But to a much respected customer, I will look carefully among my plates, & try to accommodate tho' the risk, at which I have made free to hint, is very considerable.' He continues at equal length, in the same idiosyncratic tone, regarding his plan to 'forward a collection of fine & curious coloured prints, all of which have their original marks (but I should have said a number are coloured drawings)'. After sending respects to 'thyself, & daughter', he signs '(in haste) | J. Sams.' The reverse of the second leaf carries a list of fourteen of the prints and drawings, with prices, most marked with pencil crosses to indicate that they are desired. A fifteenth entry ends abruptly, indicating that the bottom part of the list has been cut away.
