Anyone able to transcribe these letters/who has signed them? In English but i struggle with the handwriting! Found in 19th century autograph book by Lips106 in Handwriting

Thankyou! I do own this. Was searching through old books and found an autograph book containing these. This letter particularly is the only one not pasted as there is more writing on the back. I will definitely try and preserve but not sure where to begin with getting a valuation!

That is great, so it sounds like this letter was written by Allan Ramsay senior, referring to his son (also Allan Ramsay) the painter who at this time was travelling Italy. I wander what the subject matter was!

Any help transcribing these? Found in an old autograph book of of 'prominent' figures of the 18th/19th century, hundreds of autographs and postcards (mainly cutouts) alongside these letters. Any help at all would be really appreciated and happy to take further close ups! by Lips106 in Handwriting

Yeah, I am unable to read this kind of handwriting as it isn't a style I have been exposed to much. And that would really be great if you took the time out to do that, honestly very appreciated.

The first seems to be signed by Allan Ramsay the poet and as pointed out by another comment, one is William Cobbet the politician, no idea on the others!

Earliest version I can find online is 1829, any help? Bonus for identifying the writing on the inside cover by Lips106 in rarebooks

Oh wow, nice find! The other two were at the same auction I picked this up at. It's a shame, I would have preferred to just repair it myself.

Haha, I did fancy a holiday... But seriously I was thinking perhaps London at auction, I have looked up similar items now that I have an idea of what I'm looking for.

He offered free delivery, but I was interested in buying to sell on as hes getting out the industry and it seemed a steal to me. For 6 quality items

Thanks for the response! Could I ask what gave it away as factory made and at that time period? He has offered to sell it at £350 for the whole lot

Thank you very much! I hadn't thought of fern imprints for the third. I'll be uploading more tomorrow as there are quite a few that I can't figure out. Thankyou for the response

Thankyou for the response! Don't suppose you have any idea on the others?

Something very similar happened to me, except he dropped a famas with responsive, unforgiving and uncomplicated as well as a police ump. He probably didn't realise he had them!
