Dilke, Bart., was bequeathed by his generosity to the Public Library at Hampstead, as a joint memorial of the poet, and of his friend Charles Wentworth Dilke, grandfather of the testator. The collection comprises a number of most important and interesting letters written by and to the poet from the time of the publication of his first volume of poems in 1817, to October, 1820, and includes a letter from Naples to Mrs. Brawne shortly before his death. The bequest also contains a number of books, which were among the most cherished possessions of the poet, and their interest is considerably enhanced by the numerous marks and marginal notes by Keats.
