Autograph Notes signed to John Russell Smith, publisher.

Antiquary, topographer and architectural writer (DNB).Two ANSs to Smith, 23 April 1849 and 21 June 1853, 12mo and 8vo. (1849) He returns "Mr. Halliwell's vol". (Smith published a good number of books by J.O. Halliwell[-Phillipps], some in 1849.) (1853) He proves that he is making progress with his Autobiography by sending a second instalment. (The Autobiography of John Britton was published in 1849/1850. I have found no reference to an edition published c.1853 but NSTC lists an imprint dated "1850[57?]" - whatever that means.)
