Location: BC MS Misc. Letters 2 Campbell
Note: Frequently referring to Constable and publishing. Many of these letters refer to Campbell's financial difficulties and life at Sydenham, but some contain interesting reference to his works. In a letter dated 19 December 1809 there is the following reference to "Lochiel": "I am in want of a proper book of reference for some account of the second eight which I mean to affix as a note to Lochiel. Will you have the goodness to look into an old Account of the Highlands which I saw in your possession & if there is any thing upon that subject either to copy it for me or bring me the book & I could copy it ...". In another letter written in the same year Campbell describes at length his plans for the "Specimens of the British Poets" which was subsequently published in 1819: "The plan of the work is a selection of all the genuine English Poetry that can be condensed in reasonable bounds with literary and biographical dissertations prefixed to each of the poets ... There is much excellent poetry
in our language which no collector has to this day had the good sense to insert in any compilation...". "I shall leave to Antiquaries for instance to discover the exact number of Milton's house in Bunhilll fields. I shall reserve my full strength of research for the true appreciation of his powers as a poet, ... I give Milton as a specimen of what I mean to do with the great Poets from Chaucer downwards, ... Last of all though first in the printing will be a prefatory Essay on the history & characteristics of English Poetry - An Essay of this kind is a serious attempt, it is sufficient to say I will do my best ...". The material was formerly bound into a volume containing also transcripts of the letters, which is now shelved in a separate author/alphabetical sequence following the main sequence of Miscellaneous Letters.
