'Northangerland's letter to the Angrians' and 'The opening of the first Angrian Parliament'

Description

Untitled loose group of manuscripts, written in characteristic miniscule hand. Written in ink, with pages numbered in red ink in another hand.


Note by C W Harrison, dated 11 Nov 1925, reads


'The half sheet torn from the half sheet paged 5-6 contains the continuation of the text on the half sheet paged 13-14. It is now in the Bronte Museum at Haworth. Exhibit No. 254 - third half sheet.


The beginning and end of the MS. are missing. Probably these were contained on an outside sheet carrying the first two and last two pages.


The blank page marked 1 may have been intended for the Conclusion of the first part of the MS which does not appear to have been completed by the author.


Note: the 1/2 sheet in the Bronte Museum (mentioned above) contains the conclusion of 'Northangerland's Letter to the Angrians'.


Third of a group of thirteen individual manuscripts (BC MS 19c Brontë/02/02/10 - 22) mostly written about the imaginary kingdom of Angria.
