Descrizione

8vo. 1¾ pp. on bifolium. Mounted on backing paper. To his friend, the advocate Thomas Thomson (1768-1852), about their annual meeting during summer holidays and a trip Horner plans to go on with the author and judge John A. Murray: "You are now thinking, I hope, of your arrangements for coming to the south in the course of the long vacation. We never seem to have any intercourse except when we meet in the flesh; and I hope while we can move, we shall contrive to hold that communication once at least every year. Gout and rheumatism will come upon us soon enough [.] There will be no difficulty in getting chambers for you: or if you prefer being more to the westward, I shall have no objection to live in Albany, where Lord Webb is so kind as to let me have the use of his set of chambers [.]". - In 1807 both Horner and Thomson were elected Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, at the proposition of John Playfair, Sir James Hall and Thomas Allan. - With collector's note to backing paper. Slightly browned due to paper and slight brownstaining.
