Autograph Letter Signed to the Revd. George Percy BADGER
(1815-1888, Arabic Scholar and Missionary), in Hotten's interesting hand, saying he omitted to return to you the cuttings from the Standard... The liberty taken in mounting them as a small vol. I hope you will forgive, an early copy of Heuchlin's great work (the Prussian Expedition)... will reach me tomorrow, and I would like to show it to you, as I have some idea of translating it if it appears of special interest to English readers at the moment, decorative monogram at head, 74 & 75 Piccadilly, London, 14th November

Background
Hotten had an astonishing range of interests, and was prepared to publish, translate and if necessary write anything that would appeal, whether serious or popular. The work here is apparently a volume of the Prussian Expedition to East Asia, modelled on Napoleon's to Egypt.
