A Letter To The Editor Of The Miscellanies Of Thomas Chatterton (1779) is a book written by Horace Walpole. The book is a response to Thomas Chatterton's controversial works, which were published posthumously. In the letter, Walpole addresses the authenticity of Chatterton's literary creations and argues that they are not genuine medieval works, as Chatterton claimed. Instead, he suggests that Chatterton fabricated the works himself. Walpole also discusses the importance of authenticity in literary works and the dangers of literary forgery. The book provides valuable insights into the literary culture of the 18th century and the debates surrounding literary authenticity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
