VINCENT HENRY: (1813-1878) British Chartist leader and ant-slavery campaigner, active in the formation of early Working Men's Associations in Great Britain. A.L.S., Henry Vincent, three pages, 8vo, Talbot Place, Stamford Hill, 4th January 1844, to [William] Lovett. Vincent states that he wrote to Mr. Statham regarding topics for lectures but has not received a reply, continuing to explain 'I am ready to lecture for you on Wednesdays 17th and 24th if the subjects meet with your approval. I should like the first to be on “Civil and Religious Liberty”, and the second on “Commerce - its influence upon the social comforts, intellectual progress, and Civil and Religious Liberties of Mankind” and remarking 'I think if these subjects are well advertised they will draw good audiences', further discussing where short notices could be published, including in the Morning Advertiser, and asking for an immediate reply 'or I shall be thrown out with other engagements'. Some light age wear and a small, single spindle hole to the centre, only very slightly affecting the signature, otherwise VG
William Lovett (1800-1877) British activist and leader of the Chartist political movement, one of the leading London-based artisan radicals of his generation.
